After Yang Chao received Ruan Dacheng's invitation, he was quite puzzled, he had already remembered what kind of character Ruan Dacheng was.

Yang Chao used to be a scholar, and most of the things that appeared in the textbooks had an impression in his mind, this Ruan Dacheng happened to be a character who could appear in the textbooks, but he was not a good person, but a traitor.

The history of the late Ming Dynasty does not appear much in textbooks, unlike Shi Kefa's reputation as a great loyal minister and a righteous man, Ruan Dacheng was passed down with the reputation of a great traitor, and he was one of the three traitors of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Beijing was captured by Li Zicheng, and after a political struggle, the ministers who stayed in Nanjing pushed Zhu Youxiang, the king of fortune who fled to Huai'an, to the emperor's throne, and then the Southern Ming court basically controlled the hands of two people, one was Ma Shiying, and the other was Ruan Dacheng.

In addition, because of the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, the great writer Qian Qianyi, who had a very bad reputation, formed a traitorous trio.

How could such a big man come to him, Yang Chao couldn't help but have some doubts.

Obviously, it can't be because of the carriage, because I have already made it clear to him, that carriage is a trick.

Although he didn't know why he invited himself, Yang Chao still didn't hesitate to go to the meeting, regardless of whether he was a loyal minister or a traitor, it was a distant existence for Yang Chao, and he couldn't raise his head now that he was oppressed by a brocade guard, so he could only grab the rope and climb up, as for whether the rope was hemp rope or steel wire, where was there room for him to choose.

Ruan Dacheng has his own house in Nanjing, he has lived in Nanjing for a period of time in previous years, and he is quite famous.

Because he is good at poetry and songs, even those young talents can't compare to him, making him very famous in the Qinhuai River area.

His house was chosen in a river house on Shiba Street, which is also close to the Qinhuai River, with a bustling street in front and the Qinhuai River in the back.

After Yang Chao arrived at Ruan's river house, a housekeeper greeted him at the door.

This is already very sincere, because with Ruan Dacheng's status, it is impossible to welcome Yang Chao in person.

Ruan's river house entered two courtyards three times, Yang Chao was invited to the backyard, the second floor of the river house at the back, and behind the window was the Qinhuai River.

Ruan Dacheng has been waiting in it for a long time, this is his study, which is antique, a room of books, there is a small table under the window, and there is a pot of plum blossoms next to the table, but at this time the flowering period has passed, only the bare, sick plum tree, this is called sick plum.

Ruan Dacheng invited Yang Chao to sit at the table and make tea himself, Ruan Dacheng's tea-making skills are very elegant, quite a bit of the posture of a tea artist in later generations.

Holding a very delicate, almost transparent small teacup, Yang Chao took a small sip, the tea is a good tea, but unfortunately Yang Chao can't drink it, he only feels that it is lighter than the tea he drinks, but the taste is lingering, and the entrance is long.

"How?"

Ruan Dacheng asked with a smile.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "Forgive the students for being dull and not understanding the tea ceremony." ”

Ruan Dacheng smiled: "You are honest. ”

Yang Chao smiled, he didn't have any capital yet, in front of these bureaucrats, he still didn't play tricks, if he didn't understand, he didn't understand.

These are all old and refined guys, who have mixed with the filthy Ming Dynasty Hall in the world, fooling them is undoubtedly an axe, and it is already good not to be fooled by them.

Ruan Dacheng didn't talk about business, as if he was inviting Yang Chao to drink tea, and occasionally said a word or two, but it was all gossip without any taste, nothing more than the beautiful scenery and beauties on the Qinhuai River.

Yang Chao was not very interested in this, and occasionally responded to the two sounds, and was not in a hurry, quietly waiting for Ruan Dacheng to say something, Yang Chao didn't believe that Ruan Dacheng invited him to come, just drinking tea.

Sure enough, after drinking it a few times, Ruan Dacheng finally made it clear: "Young Master Yang, what do you think of Zhou Yusheng?" ”

Zhou Yusheng is Zhou Yanru, Yang Chao knows that Zhou Yanru is an old bureaucrat with a high reputation, who once served as the first assistant, but he has been excluded from the cabinet.

Yang Chao said: "How can Zhou Ge be able to be evaluated by the younger generation. ”

Ruan Dacheng smiled: "Let's taste it." Yang Gongzi didn't know that at present, the Donglin Restoration Society is seeking Zhou Yusheng to meet again. Do you think the jade rope can be revived? ”

"Zhou Yanru is again!"

Hearing this, Yang Chao's heart shook violently, and he couldn't help but think of a related piece of history.

This is a major event in the late Ming Dynasty, although Yang Chao knows the history in detail enough, but he remembers this matter, and he doesn't know that he saw it in that book, but he remembers it firmly. Because Zhou Yanru is one of the very few people in history who has been deposed as prime minister and once again become prime minister, two ups and downs, and two times to the peak, which is very rare.

But Yang Chao said quietly: "If the Fushe Donglin does his best, maybe the Jade Rope Gong also has hope of making a comeback." In fact, with the concerns of the younger generations, it doesn't matter if the jade rope can get along, what matters is what the old gentleman can get from it? ”

Yang Chao knew that among the scribes of the Ming Dynasty, he actually didn't hope that Zhou Yanru could be reinstated as the first assistant again, which was unimaginable. Therefore, he didn't insist that Zhou Yanru could be the prime minister, but just said Ruan Dacheng's heart, the purpose was still to set Ruan Dacheng's words, in fact, Yang Chao wanted to know what Ruan Dacheng wanted.

Because Yang Chao understands that this is probably Ruan Dacheng's purpose for inviting him, knowing that if Yang Chao has a way to help him, it is equivalent to having a relationship with Ruan Dacheng.

Yang Chao's words reached Ruan Dacheng's heart, yes, the key is what he can get from it, not whether Zhou Yanru can be the first assistant.

After listening to Ruan Dacheng, he chuckled: "Didn't you say the right time, the expression and the intention, the old man thinks what he said is very good." Now that Donglin is seeking Zhou Yusheng again, no matter what the result is, the old man will help, Donglin will not remember it. ”

Fushe Donglin seeks Zhou Yanru's resurrection to become the first assistant again, Ruan Dacheng does not believe that they can succeed, but this is a good opportunity to improve the relationship with Donglin, but Ruan Dacheng can see it.

At this time, Yang Chao understood that Ruan Dacheng wanted to reconcile with the Donglin Party, not that he had a unique vision and was optimistic about Zhou Yanru.

To be honest, if Ruan Dacheng had such a vision, he would not have taken refuge in the eunuch party when the Donglin Party was fighting with the eunuch party.

Yang Chao hurriedly said: "What the boss said is very true. ”

Ruan Dacheng said with a smile: "So, I want to ask Yang Gongzi how to let the Donglin Restoration Society know that the old man is really helpful." That is, how to make the old man show his heart? ”

Yang Chao completely understood that Ruan Dacheng wanted to contribute money to the politics of Donglin Restoration Society, but he didn't want the money to be spent unclear.

Ruan Dacheng doesn't care about the silver, the problem is how to make the value of the silver spent, and let more people in Donglin Fushe know.

Give the money directly to Zhang Pu, 12,000 taels may not be able to enter the eyes of Donglin and Fushe, a group of nerds with high and low masters, and if you give 12,000 taels, you can only leave a little impression.

What he Ruan Dayue wants is for everyone in the Donglin Party to know that his Ruan Dacheng's efforts are related to the overall situation.

To put it bluntly, Ruan Dacheng just wants to make a little noise, not only to let more people know, but also to show his role.

However, Yang Chao couldn't help laughing at himself, because Ruan Dacheng regarded himself as an idea, and he was not the king of ideas!

But Yang Chao knows very well in his heart that this is also an opportunity for himself, now his identity is a child, but in essence, he is just a grass man, if he doesn't help Ruan Dacheng, he will never have an intersection with characters like Zhang Pu and Zhou Yanru in his life.

This idea king must also be appropriate.

The most important thing is that Yang Chao knows that Zhou Yanru will really be the first assistant again, and he can help Zhou Yanru become the prime minister again through Ruan Dacheng. This kind of thing is hard to come by, in contrast, if you help someone become the president of the country in the future, how much benefit it will have, it is simply unlimited!

This is not only an opportunity for Ruan Dacheng to improve his relationship with Donglin Fushe, but also an opportunity for Yang Chao to expand his network to the entire Ming Dynasty.

So although there is no way yet, Yang Chao immediately said: "Don't dare to ask for advice." But don't worry, the younger generation must think of a good way. ”

Ruan Dacheng smiled and poured Yang Chao a cup of tea, and then said, "If you have an idea, come to me at any time." ”
