Chapter 4: Factions (II)
Since the four Yangzhou skinny horses were sent over, of course there is no reason to return them, otherwise it would be too much of a slap in the face of his father-in-law. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, Zheng Chenggong just decided to accept it and was not ready to accept it.
After Zheng Chenggong informed Shen Ruoxi, he took charge and sent all four women to Nanyang, two to Zheng Tai and two to Shi Lang.
It should be a reward for their hard work far away from home and in a faraway place.
After dealing with these four Yangzhou thin horses, Zheng Chenggong sent someone to invite Qian Xiangyi to come over for a family banquet.
In the back garden of Zheng's mansion, seeing Qian Xiangyi coming over with his wife Liu Ru, Zheng Chenggong hurriedly got up to greet him.
Heaven and Earth Monarch, no matter what Qian Qianyi's character is, in the end, he is his own teacher, even if he is honored in the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, he must have respect when he sees Qian Qianyi.
Zheng Chenggong stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Mingyan greets Mr." ”
Qian Qianyi once helped Zheng Chenggong name "Da Mu" when he accepted him as a disciple, but Zheng Chenggong never liked this word and felt a little unpleasant.
Therefore, I have always insisted on using the original word "Mingyan".
In order to show that his relationship with Zheng Chenggong was not ordinary, Qian Qianyi used to call him Damu in public several times.
But Zheng Chenggong reminded Qian Qianyi softly or hard, and no matter how dull he came down a few times, everyone knew that Zheng Chenggong didn't like the word Da Mu.
Qian Qianyi also changed his words in order not to arouse Zheng Chenggong's feelings.
Qian Qianyi hurriedly said: "Ming Yan is already a prince, so there is no need to be polite." ”
Zheng Chenggong said modestly: "If you want it, you will be a teacher for one day and a father for life!" Mingyan is still young, and he needs a lot of advice. Come, sir, please take a seat! ”
Qian Qianyi laughed heartily, and even said: "Okay, good, Mingyan has a heart!" ”
Qian Qianyi sat in the back garden pavilion with Zheng Chenggong drinking and chatting, and Liu Rushi followed Dong You and Shen Ruoxi into the backyard to chat.
After three rounds of drinking, Zheng Chenggong said: "Ming Yan remembers that Mr. was admitted to the first class and three jinshi in the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, and then began to become a scholar!" ”
"Yes, Mingyan will remember it clearly when the time comes!" Qian Qianyi didn't know why Zheng Chenggong suddenly mentioned the time of his debut, so he could only answer vaguely.
Zheng Chenggong thought for a while and said: "It's been forty-two years now, and Ming Yan intends to invite the emperor to recommend Mr. to be a cabinet scholar." ”
Hearing that Zheng Chenggong was going to recommend himself as a cabinet scholar, Qian Qianyi suddenly breathed rapidly, and the wine glass he held trembled slightly.
Cabinet Fellows! The highest pursuit of a civil servant's life!
This is something Qian Qianyi has been pursuing all his life.
Qian Qianyi had the opportunity to touch that thing many times, but he missed it because of his character and ability.
During the Apocalypse, he was squeezed out by the "eunuch party" headed by Wei Zhongxian, and Qian Qianyi was dismissed and returned to his hometown.
In the first year of Chongzhen, Wei Zhongxian finally died, and Qian Qianyi returned to serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor in Hanlin.
At this time, when the cabinet ministers were being promoted, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru jointly reported Qian Qianyi for accepting bribes.
Qian Qianyi was forced to take the blame and be dismissed, punished with a cane, and lost the opportunity to enter the cabinet.
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng broke through Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself.
Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Lu Daqi and others discussed the establishment of a monarch in Jiangning.
The Donglin Party, including Qian Qianyi, premeditated to establish King Lu, but as a result, King Fu was supported by Gao Jie and other commanders of the four towns who held heavy troops and sat on the throne.
Qian Qianyi could only escape by singing praises to Ma Shiying, but there was no need to think about the position of a cabinet scholar.
Qian Qianyi once again lost the opportunity to cabinet.
Now hearing that Zheng Chenggong was willing to recommend himself to the cabinet as a university scholar, Qian Qianyi's heart is alive again.
Qian Qianyi's face turned red and asked, "Ming Yan really wants to recommend him as a member of the Cabinet University?" ”
Zheng Chenggong said with a smile: "Of course, Mr. is only eight years old, and he is a Tanhua in the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, and he has served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and his qualifications and abilities are enough, why can't he serve as a cabinet scholar!" ”
Qian Qianyi said hesitantly: "Can ...... Can......! ”
Qian Qianyi wanted to say that he had taken refuge in the Qing Dynasty, which was a big stain.
It's just that he was ashamed to say it.
Since being invited by Zheng Chenggong to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Qian Qianyi has done a good job.
But many people have a lot of discussion about Qian Qianyi's experience of defecting to the Qing Dynasty, although he didn't dare to be sarcastic in Zheng Chenggong's face, but behind his back was a scolding.
Qian Qianyi is also very helpless in his heart, and he will be hated for thousands of years if he misses!
If time could be reclocked, Qian Qianyi really felt that he had a good reputation for committing suicide directly in the pool, and now he is judging people all day long.
Many people say that if Old Man Qian didn't have a good life and had a good student, he would have been scolded as a slave with three surnames, knocked people to the ground, and listed as a second minister, where would he still be qualified to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
scolded people a lot, Qian Qianyi sometimes wanted to quit his job, and he also saved people from poking his back.
But this can only be thought about, Qian Qianyi is very reluctant to be a high-ranking official.
Now that he can get Zheng Chenggong's recommendation, Qian Qianyi feels that there is a drama in this matter.
Yongli also needs Zheng Chenggong's support, and if he speaks, Yongli will not refuse at all.
Even if there is no place, they will find a way to vacate one.
Qian Qianyi took a deep breath and said, "Are you going to the Guangdong Imperial Court to serve as a cabinet scholar?" ”
Zheng Chenggong nodded and said, "Yes, sir!" ”
If you go to Guangdong, you can breathe a sigh of relief.
Students are loyal ministers, heroes sung by everyone. The teacher is a second minister, and he scolds people.
No matter how thick-skinned Qian Qianyi is, he can't stand it anymore.
In Guangdong, at least there is Li Chengdong, the "three-surnamed house slave" in front of him, and even if he is scolded, he has a companion.
I can also fulfill my long-standing wish and become a cabinet scholar.
Qian Qianyi seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Everything is up to you!" ”
"Don't dare, it's a student's honor to do my best for Mr." Zheng Chenggong said.
Qian Qianyi's eyes were a little hazy when he heard it, and the luckiest thing in his life was that he agreed to accept Zheng Chenggong as a disciple.
With this disciple, my life is worth it!
……
Qian Qianyi agreed to go to Guangdong to become a cabinet scholar.
Zheng Chenggong got rid of the leaders of Jiangnan Group, and others couldn't make any waves.
Zheng Chenggong found a few reasons at random, and transferred several civil officials from Jiangnan to Fujian to serve as local magistrates.
Three times five divided by two, those Jiangnan who wanted to speculate on Shen Ruoxi were dismantled by Zheng Chenggong.
As the news of Zheng Chenggong's recommendation of Qian Qianyi to be a cabinet scholar spread, several people gathered together in the study room of a courtyard in Nanjing.
"That damn old man Qian, he can't help Adou, and the false name of a cabinet scholar coaxed him away! He didn't want to think about it, if this thing came to pass, let alone the cabinet scholars, even the Taishi, it would be stupid. I said I shouldn't have invited him. A middle-aged man scolded with hatred of iron and steel.
An old man shook his white beard and said, "Hey, he is 70 years old after all, and he is in his prime." He didn't know how many years he would live. The matter of supporting the new monarch is too far away, and it is better to earn a cabinet scholar in his lifetime. ”
"He's satisfied! But what about our big things? Since the Tartars went south, our Donglin Xue Party has suffered heavy losses, and now there are not many people who can serve as leaders. At the beginning, I thought that Qian Qianyi was a former leader of the Jiangnan literary circle, and he was also Zheng Chenggong's teacher, even if he failed, there would be no danger. didn't expect Zheng Chenggong to react so quickly, and directly drove him to Guangdong. The remaining few were also transferred to Fujian, and now we simply don't have the ability to accomplish big things! Another old man said worriedly.
A middle-aged man who is about thirty years old, with a narrow face, slender and cruel eyes, a nose like an eagle pecking, and a very thin lip, gives people a kind of affection and injustice, and said: "We are in too much of a hurry in this matter. Zheng Chenggong is also a masterpiece of a generation, how can he allow others to challenge his authority. We should learn a lesson, now Zheng Chenggong is very wary of us, we had better keep a low profile during this time and accumulate strength in secret. Anyway, the one from the Shen family hasn't been born yet, and even if it does, it will take a few years to grow up. At that time, it will be the time for our Donglin Party to revitalize the dynasty and return the world to a bright future! ”
Several people in the study nodded when they heard this. (To be continued.) )
