"Brother Juesi, Mei Village, it's true that I didn't expect the two of you to come too, it's really brilliant!"

When Zheng Yuanxun wantonly attacked this meaningless rally, Qian Qianyi's face was full of joy, as soon as he heard that Wang Duo and Wu Weiye came to worship together, Qian Qianyi was really happy and even the pockmarks on his face were released.

What he is thinking about is to compete with Wang Duo for the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!

Now Wang Duo has taken the initiative to worship, Jiangnan Wenqi Qian Qianyi has a lot of money in his sleeves, even if Wang Duo has the support of the prince, but after all, he is far inferior in terms of literary talent, fame, and qualifications, right?

It's just a little hard to understand, Wang Duo is not a stupid person, politically to the point where he enters the cabinet as a hall official, and it is difficult to sink down, at this time he takes the initiative to come to the door and give himself a political enemy an extra halo, the intention of which is really not clear.

As soon as he came out, Qian Qianyi only had Wang Duo and Wu Weiye in his eyes, but Wu Weiye, the secretary of the country, shook his head and said with a smile: "Wuhuai is also there." ”

"Yo!" Qian Qianyi came to his senses at this time, slapped his forehead, and said apologetically: "Brother Wuhuai, the student is too rude." ”

"What did the shepherd say?" Yu Huai is also a young celebrity, and he and Qian Qianyi have known each other for a long time. He is long and thin, his face is white and beardless, he is very smart and witty, at this time, he is long and jade, only wearing a green shirt on his body, a folding fan in his hand, and an indescribable literary and elegant appearance, in the face of a big man like Qian Qianyi, he is neither humble nor arrogant, bowing down, and standing up straight again.

Qian Qianyi really didn't mean to snub him, Nanjing's Guozijian is known as Nanyong, and candidates from the southeastern provinces often gather here to study. Yu Huai ranked first in every exam...... What is this ability?

That is to say, what is the Fushe Zhusheng, what is the fourth son of Nandu, Huang Gu and the two families, in terms of real learning, they are all under this residual arms!

Of course, Yu Huai is also an active member of the Restoration Society, and he also participates in the Tiger Hill Club every year, but this person's surname is Ge Hansu, and he doesn't have much contact with a big guy like Qian Qianyi, and in normal times, he is a guest who can't be invited.

"Please come in, please come in!"

was interrupted by Yu Huai, Qian Qianyi was also much calmer, and while worrying about the intentions of these people, he looked upright.

Everyone was originally the gate to enter, and Qian Qianyi was standing at the second gate to welcome guests, and at this time, he led people in the direction of the flower hall...... As soon as Wang Duo frowned, Wu Weiye took a step forward and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the old man, Brother Juesi and his brother are here today because they have something to discuss with the old man...... I don't know if there is a place to speak? ”

Such a big mansion, not to mention one, I'm afraid that ten places are also very loose.

Qian Qianyi's eyebrows twitched, and he said in his heart: "Sure enough, there is an intention, but I can't think of it, what do they have to say?" ”

In the past few days, he has been meeting more than a dozen groups of people almost a day, and he has to visit more than a dozen or twenty places to find out the news and inquire about the truth, but the palace is strictly forbidden, especially the more than 2,000 Tianjin Fubiao soldiers and horses, almost every drop of water leaks, no words from outside, no words from inside, and they are very strictly regulated.

As for the 5,000 armor soldiers brought by the prince, a few of them were very regular, living in the barracks and practicing honestly, waiting to return to Huai'an with the prince. A considerable part of them began to be honest, and then they were a little unruly, and began to go out of the camp to play, or to visit the original generals, and gradually did not take the camp rules to heart, but on the whole, they were also private soldiers of generals at all levels, and the degree of elite was more than 100 times stronger than the Beijing camp that had become old and decrepit.

In Qian Qianyi's view, these news are just floating discussions, not fundamental.

If the prince's soldiers and horses don't do anything, no one can rebel against him, right?

Moreover, the prince was built in Huai'an, Lu Zhenfei and Sun Chuanting were subdued by him, and Liu Konghe and other generals were in Huai'an.

This kind of understanding is also the consensus of Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang and others, when they meet with each other privately, they all plan to seize the cabinet power, military power, and financial power, exert great politics, and make full use of Donglin!

Locally, they also exchanged letters with He Tengjiao, Yuan Jixian and others, and they were full of confidence in each other's hearts.

However, with Qian Qianyi's experience in officialdom, the more ways the better, and when he heard Wu Weiye finish speaking, he said solemnly: "In this case, go to my study, how about it?" ”

"Whatever the guest wants." Wang Duo smiled and said, "Everything is arranged by the old man. ”

Although this person has already shown his literary talent and has always been famous in the Jiangnan area, he used to be a little rigid in everything he spoke, but now he is chic and calm, showing a completely different self-confidence from the past.

It's Wu Weiye, poetry is not said, but usually I can't see anything special, but now I look at it, but it is indescribably elegant and graceful.

is Yu Huai, and it is also different from the past.

These three people, each of them has some changes, individually, there are not too many differences, but when the three of them walk in one place, they can clearly see that they have a different temperament from the past.

Moreover, there is a little bit of mystery in the smiles of the three of them, which makes Lao Qian even more confused.

Fortunately, the mystery can be revealed soon, and the switch between the many years of Huan Hai's career and the identity of a frustrated poet makes Qian Qianyi's Chengfu profound enough, and in his opinion, these people are afraid that it is not a big deal.

What kind of political level determines what kind of insight, in the eyes of his old money, I'm afraid there is no major event that shocks...... As soon as he entered the small study, Qian Qianyi ordered: "There are many old men outside, and some of them bumped into here, so they said that I was meeting the guests and asked them to move." ”

"Yes, the lord and a few masters, please have tea."

Of course, the messenger who served in the small study was very alert, dressed in a very clean and straight blue cloth robe, and when he saw Wang Duo and a few people coming in, he first made tea, and then bowed and withdrew, and covered the door with his hand, and the whole study was silent, although it was lively outside, and the servants of the Qian Mansion were busy back and forth, but Zhun Bao could not disturb the quiet in this small room.

When he arrived here, Qian Qianyi was also very relaxed, first let Wang Duo and others sit in the guest seat, and then he sat comfortably on the main seat, the room was faintly fragrant with tea and books, and the atmosphere was also quiet and calm, which was a good place to talk.

However, Wang Duo only said one word, which made Qian Qianyi jump.

"Your Highness asked us to come over, I have something to say to the pastor, I don't know if the pastor can not be a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, His Highness has a new position to confer ......"

"What?" Qian Qianyi took a sip of tea on the ground, and the original graceful and generous temperament that everything was regarded as floating clouds immediately disappeared, but seeing him standing upright, his hands were also blankly pressed on the red sandalwood bookcase, and for a while, he was involuntary.

"Shepherd?"

"Oh, oh!"

Fortunately, Qian Qianyi has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he calmed down in the blink of an eye. Looking at Wang Duo and the others, he smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said: "I heard that the emperor intends to ask the prince to be in charge of the army, in the name, either the generalissimo or the general, anyway, imitating the story of the early Tang Dynasty, the prince can open the mansion, so, what do you ask the students to do?" Is the military government senatory? Heck, students really don't know how to do military affairs...... I'm afraid I can't help it. ”

Speaking of which, this is also a way, but Qian Qianyi thought to himself that he had been going around in the literary field all his life, and the most powerful thing was that the network resources in this area were very deep, so he asked him to accompany the crown prince to Huai'an to reorganize the army and train the army, and he also had to do the drudgery of the Northern Expedition Youyan...... Even if it is a step further in the future, the best civil official is just to enter the cabinet as a scholar, and now he will stay up, so there will always be a day when he enters the cabinet, is it possible that the prince still calls himself to turn into martial arts with literature, and the title given to Count Hou in the future will not be successful?

No matter how you think about it, it is a loss-making business, and judging from Qian Qianyi, now Li Zicheng has millions of soldiers in the north, as well as Donglu and Zhang Xianzhong, here in Nanjing, it is good to be able to maintain Jiangnan and the southeastern provinces, and it is a great luck to get a small court that is peaceful!

Anyway, for the rest of his life, I'm afraid I won't see the day when the Ming Dynasty has Zhongxing, and now he has been in power for seventeen years, and the whole country is still a mess when he is in hand, is it possible to turn things around now with a crown prince who is less than sixteen?

With this kind of thought, of course, it is to mix in the center, anyway, it will be comfortable in a few days, if Li Zicheng unites the north, the army will go south...... Anyway, there is no immortal dynasty in the world, and surrendering as a central minister is much better than being idle.

Now to ask him to go to the front to fight for the crown prince, of course, 11,000 are unwilling.

Listening to Qian Qianyi's words, the three people present all smiled slightly, as if his reaction was originally expected.

It was still Wang Duo who opened his mouth, looking at Qian Qianyi with a bitter face, Wang Duo smiled and said: "Of course, Your Highness wants to be in front of the enemy and swear to the Northern Expedition." However, it's not yet time, it's still early. Besides, even if it is to open the mansion, His Royal Highness will take the young and strong people to endure hardships, how can he ask the shepherd to run around the grass and the stars and the moon. ”

"Oh, then I don't know what the crown prince commands?"

"Mu Lao Tui said that he didn't understand military affairs, but the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, whether it was manpower, material resources, roads, money and valley reserves, how could Mu Lao not know? The situation in various states and counties, the mountains and rivers, roads, and military affairs, how can we take it lightly? His Royal Highness said that he didn't understand geography, he couldn't talk about military affairs, he didn't understand people's sophistication, he couldn't manage money, and he couldn't be responsible for the overall situation! ”

"Yes, that's exactly what I said!"

Qian Qianyi has always been admired as a bigwig in the literary world, but in fact, in terms of his own ability, he has always been very conceited. He is an extremely smart person, although he failed to enter the cabinet back then, but he feels that in terms of application to the world, he is more than a hundred times stronger than some scholars who can only kowtow.

Speaking of the geography of the valley and the mountains and rivers, those head-eaters don't understand anything, militaristic politics, everything is not understood. But this generation can actually worship, and he can only be a turtle with a shrunken head, filling in words and poems all day long, and he is so angry and depressed.

The crown prince's words also praised him very much, making him very emotional.

But although Qian Qianyi is not too old and has rarely entered the officialdom, his tail is white now, and if he wants to say anything in a few words, it is also a thought.

At the moment, he just smiled indifferently and replied: "The student only knows a little bit about it, now there is Shi Daolin, the crown prince said, Shi is proficient, the prime minister is the overall situation, of course, there is already a very suitable candidate!" ”
