"Tianru thinks, what is the final outcome of this bet?"

Qian Qianyi twisted his beard and looked at Zhang Pu with a smile, Zhang Pu was the same as him, his face was relaxed, and the two looked at each other, so they smiled heartily.

The big thing planned by Zhang Pu has finally come to an end now, and the rest is for the handler to run errands, and he can also come down easily. For this event, he raised a total of 120,000 taels, each of which is one share, which will be a feat in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Each family invests in shares to decide the first assistant of the cabinet!

Thinking of this, Zhang Pu is difficult to press the pride in his heart, the ancients said "the prime minister of the mountain people" and "the country of cloth clothes", what is it, but it is just a strategist. But he was able to indulge in the dynasty, depose and appoint the head of the Auxiliary Pavilion!

Zhang Pu has a feeling of holding power and dominating the world, and even looking at Qian Qianyi, an old literary predecessor in Donglinsu, he can't help but be a little contemptuous.

At the beginning, Qian Qianyi was bent on becoming a cabinet elder, and even did not hesitate to do anything when recommending the list of candidates, which made Emperor Chongzhen angry and drove him back to his hometown directly.

And because of this incident, Qian Qianyi formed a deep enmity with Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren. It's just that in thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, it was originally Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren who teamed up to deal with Qian Qianyi and Donglin, but now it is Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru who have teamed up to deal with Wen Tiren.

"If Mr. Mu Zhai asks me something else, I may not know, but this time Qin Huai Bayan is a big evaluation...... Mr. Makisai must be one of the judges, right? Zhang Pu said with a smile: "In my opinion, although Jinling fat powder is delicate, it always loses three points of incense in Yangzhou, and Su Bai and Hangnen have their own advantages with Jinling." ”

"In this way, Zhang Tianru is optimistic about Wu Sangui." Qian Qianyi's eyebrows raised slightly: "Yu Jimin is Fang Mizhi's sister-in-law, Tianru and Mizhi are kind, it stands to reason that they should be towards Yu Jimin." ”

"Later life is only towards right and wrong, not towards human affection." Zhang Pu said calmly: "Besides, in my later life, I thought that Yu Jimin was young and famous, and he was quite arrogant, and in the long run, I am afraid it will not be the blessing of others." A slight setback will be beneficial for the future. ”

Qian Qianyi just smiled, but did not answer.

As a participant in Zhang Pu's plan, how could he not know what Zhang Pu really thought in his heart!

Wu Sangui is like him, and he is also an important participant in Zhang Pu's plan, and he definitely has a lot of shares, if they can really overturn Wen Tiren and re-elevate Zhou Yanru to the position of first assistant in the cabinet, Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui will be Zhou Yanru's main supporters in Liaodong!

In return, I am afraid that Zhang Pu has already promised Wu Xiang the highest position of the current Liaodong military general.

On the contrary, although Yu Guozhen has made a lot of money in the past two years, when Zhang Pu implemented his plan, he would rather go to Fang Kongzhi and his son than directly find Yu Guozhen, and did not pull Yu Guozhen into his alliance.

In Zhang Pu's eyes, Wu Sangui is a political ally with common interests, while Yu Guozhen only has a personal relationship with him.

"Mr. Mu Zhai, don't you think that Jimin can still beat Wu Sangui?" Zhang Pu said curiously: "What Jimin found is just a few on the banks of the Qinhuai River, and I am used to seeing them, and one of them is even a little girl in Zhushi, that is, Yu Jimin is full of wit, so congenitally insufficient, how can it be successful?" ”

Qian Qianyi squinted his eyes, and after a long while, he sighed: "Tianru, you, after all, the time in the court is short. ”

Zhang Pu was stunned: "What?" ”

"If Zhou Ruzhai is here, you must know that this matter is by no means simple." Qian Qianyi's eyes suddenly flashed with wonder: "Have you read the two books and one newspaper run by Yu Jimin?" ”

Zhang Pu really hasn't looked at it carefully, his main energy has been focused on running around and planning for negotiations recently, how can he have time to look at these. Seeing him like this, Qian Qianyi laughed again: "Tianru, in the imperial court, apart from the cabinet, which position do you think is the most important?" ”

"Naturally, it is the Ministry of Officials, who is in charge of the world, and the position of the Ministry of Officials is the most important!" Zhang Pu said without hesitation.

"Fei Ye, Fei Ye, the most important position is still the counselor!" Qian Qianyi has a deep understanding: "Give advice, Taiwan advice, the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, listen to the wind and play things, and control the Qing Discussion, so we are in the same vein of Donglin, and other functions can be avoided. ”

"Yes, Mu Zhaigong has taught me a lesson!" Zhang Pu suddenly realized that he didn't know the truth of holding public opinion, in fact, he established the Fushe Society to control public opinion, but Qian Qianyi explained it thoroughly, which was also an enlightenment for him.

"Yu Jimin controls the two books and one newspaper in his hands, and he holds the middle of the matter and the imperial history platform. When these two books became popular, Wu Sangui was doomed to lose. Qian Qianyi said with a smile: "Don't say it's me, it's you Zhang Tianru, in the face of the turbulent emotions of the crowd, when making judgments, dare to tilt the victory or defeat in favor of Wu Sangui?" ”

"The influence of those two books and one newspaper has been so great?"

"Huge, great, haha......" Speaking of this, Qian Qianyi got up and entered, and after a while, he took out a book and put it in front of Zhang Pu. Zhang Pu recognized it at first sight, this is the product of Yu Guozhen's printing bureau, for no other reason, this ink is much clearer and brighter than ordinary printing, and the quality is much better.

"This is printed by Yu Jimin for me, you look at this book, this nail, tsk...... Yu Jimin also sent me two hundred taels of silver to moisten the pen, haha, since ancient times, I have only heard that my family spends money to print poems and texts to pass on to the world, and I have never heard of printing books for people and polishing pens! ”

Qian Qianyi didn't care about the two hundred taels of silver, but when his poems were printed and sold, the two hundred taels of silver gave him a sense of accomplishment, otherwise he wouldn't have taken them out to show off in front of Zhang Pu. Zhang Pu heard this for the first time, and was stunned after hearing this: "There is such a thing? ”

"Exactly, but the old man is not the first to get the moistening pen, the first is Fang Qianfu, the second is Fang Mizhi, haha, the two of them are good, keep it secret, if it wasn't for Yu Jimin to mention it, the old man would still think he was the first."

Qian Qianyi laughed conceitedly again, although he was ranked third, but Fang Kongzhi was Yu Guozhen's elder, and Fang Yizhi was Yu Guozhen's brother-in-law, ranking before him, that was a matter of course.

Zhang Pu was silent, and then felt uncomfortable with the heat on his face.

Qian Qianyi didn't know about it, he only knew that Zhang Pu and Yu Guozhen had a good relationship, so he said with a smile: "By the way, Yu Jimin came back to me and brought me the first draft of Chen Wozi's anthology, and asked me to write a preface - it seems that it won't take long for Chen Wozi to get the pen." When will your collection come out? At that time, the old man can be cheeky and grab this preface. ”

Zhang Pu laughed: "When the time comes, you have to trouble the old man." ”

In his heart, he was actually ashamed, when Yu Guozhen wrote to him, asking him to write for the first issue of "Storm Collection", he politely refused, and then Yu Guozhen did not ask him again for the manuscript. He didn't expect that the person who wrote the manuscript for Yu Guozhen would have such treatment, and Yu Guozhen would publish an anthology for it!

For a literati, being able to publish an anthology is a major event second only to the scientific field, and that sense of accomplishment is unparalleled!

But Zhang Pu has no way to complain about Yu Guozhen, that is, he has this idea in his heart, and he is embarrassed to be embarrassed, Yu Guozhen asked him for a manuscript at the beginning, but he himself refused, so who is to blame!

As soon as he thought of this, he sat like a needle felt, and he looked at the sky: "Mr. Mu Zhai, the time is almost up, we ...... It's time to go and see the Qinhuai Bayan Tasting Conference, right? ”

Qian Qianyi smiled and nodded, but secretly said in his heart: "Zhang Tianru, you said that Yu Jimin is too young and arrogant, isn't your own family the same!" In the old man's opinion, I'm afraid you won't be able to give Yu Jimin a setback, but Yu Jimin has already made you a little frustrated. ”

Of course he wouldn't say this, and when Zhang Pu listened to him talk about the book collection with an embarrassed face, he had already seen that Yu Jimin had no intention of printing the anthology for Zhang Pu!

The two went out in a sedan chair, and the street was already bustling at this time, and everyone was going in one direction, that is, the ball market. Leaning on this vacant land on the bank of the Qinhuai River, it has become a lively place these days, and many people have gone to the original owner to inquire about it and want to buy it.

"Jimin has a way to make money, you Fushe said that he is the natural enemy of the pavilion, and the villagers say that he is a young tiger who is not a young tiger, I see that he is the reincarnation of Zhao Gongming, you see, don't say the art of planting beads, don't say it in the printing bureau, just by making this ball game, you can get a lot of money." Qian Qianyi does not shy away from talking about profits, in fact, the whole Donglin does not shy away from profits, they have a very close relationship with the wealthy businessmen in the southeast, and they were originally the spokesmen for the interests of this class.

"What he is good at is practical learning that has been applied to the world, and he is indeed very talented in running and getting rich." Zhang Pu nodded: "It's a pity that he has no love for the Eight Strands of Scripture, if he passes the Eight Strands of Righteousness again, he must be a righteous talent." ”

mentioned Zhang Juzheng, both of them were silent, Qian Qianyi was for a while, and said a little dejectedly: "There is no Zhang Taiyue in the world." ”

If Zhang Juzheng is still here, how can state affairs be corrupted to this point!

"My generation should not be willing to be left behind." Zhang Pu said.

Qian Qianyi glanced at him, did not make a sound, but he was very disdainful in his heart, not to mention anything else, as far as Zhou Yanru, who Zhang Pu secretly discussed to replace Wen Tiren, the gap between him and Zhang Juzheng is not worlds apart, at least it is difficult to look back.

After the two arrived, Fang Yizhi, who recognized them, came to lead them to the first floor of the river. This newly erected temporary platform is not magnificent and tall, but it is worthy of a hundred people sitting on it. When the two of them came up, the balcony was already half full, and when they saw the two of them, everyone got up and saluted noisily.

Yu Guozhen, as the host, is of course here, in addition to him, there are also Wu Sangui and more than ten nobles and wealthy businessmen in Jinling City. They all recommended candidates to participate in the evaluation of Jinling Bayan.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Pu's heart once again sounded Qian Qianyi's opinion on Yu Guozhen's evaluation of this Qin Huai Bayan, he glanced at Yu Guozhen suspiciously, just Yu Guozhen looked at him with a smile, Zhang Pu saw his frank and calm smile, and for a while, he didn't feel a little confused.

What kind of calculation is this Yu Guozhen Yu Jimin?

Just when he couldn't give up, this Bayan review began.
