"Huaidou, have you had any contact with Qingyang recently?"

"My grandson hasn't had much contact with Qingyang recently, and after the township test, my grandson went home for a while, and I only came to Nanjing the day before yesterday, and I haven't had time to find Qingyang."

"Oh, you have been to Qingyang's house several times, and you can see what has changed in his family."

"The grandson doesn't know what the grandfather asked, the grandson remembers that after the Luming feast, the Zheng family once summoned the families of Jiangning County and nearby clans to celebrate Qingyang becoming the township trial solution yuan."

"Oh, according to your opinion, what are the conditions of the Zheng family?"

"Grandpa said this, the grandson has some feelings, the Zheng family should be very wealthy, but it has always been low-key, and the relationship with the neighbors is very good, especially Qingyang, although he has become the township test solution yuan, but after seeing the neighbors, it is still the same as before, when the grandson arrives at the Zheng family, he can hear the discussion between the neighbors, saying that the son of the Zheng family is very good."

Yang Cheng nodded slightly, in fact, this time he specially brought a letter to let Yang Tingshu come to Nanjing.

"So the Zheng family is indeed a wealthy family."

"The grandson doesn't dare to lie, when Qingyang and his grandson go out to travel, they are generous, they see homeless people along the way, they take the initiative to help, and sometimes they even wronged themselves, and the grandson feels that these qualities of Qingyang are worth learning."

"I heard that Qingyang's father bought a thousand horses, do you know about it?"

"I know, the child also asked Qing Yang, Qing Yang said that the Zheng family loves horses, and there are tens of thousands of horses in the family, but that was the situation in the Tang Dynasty, and now I dare not imagine the scene of having ten thousand horses, but more than a thousand horses can still be fed."

"Oh, is that what Qing Yang said?"

Yang Tingshu's face showed a look of embarrassment, although it was a flash, but it was discovered by Yang Cheng.

"Huaidou, what do you know, you have to say everything, I don't ask you these things casually."

"Sun Er knew that he was wrong, Qingyang also said, Xingyang Zheng family has lasted for thousands of years, has always been a famous family, but now it is gradually declining, not only because the children of the family are not guilty, but also because of the lack of blood of the children of the family, now the Zheng family has money, buy horses, and train them, so that the children of the family can tame the horses, one is to continue the prestige of the famous family, and the other is to be able to arouse the blood of the children of the clan."

A hint of coldness flashed in Yang Cheng's eyes.

"The impact of such a formation is very great, hasn't Qingyang thought about the consequences?"

"Sun Er also persuaded Qing Yang, but Qing Yang's answer made Sun Er ashamed, Qing Yang said, the body is not afraid of shadows, the Zheng family did not settle in Qi, and did not do things that endangered the court and the government, let alone exploit the people, on the contrary, they also helped the court and the government to implement education, requiring the neighbors to abide by the law and obey the orders of the government, if the Zheng family bought so many horses, they encountered the suspicion and covetousness of others, wouldn't it seem that the future was in jeopardy, only those who talked nonsense, are really suspicious, I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic. ”

Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"What a clear Yang, he actually said this in front of you, if it weren't for the brotherhood between you, he wouldn't have said such a thing, he said it well, he is not afraid of shadows, he has no intentions, how can he be afraid of being framed by others."

Yang Tingshu plucked up the courage to speak.

"Grandpa, did someone say something bad about Brother Qingyang?"

Yang didn't want to tell Yang Tingshu about the matter, let alone let Zheng Xunrui know, but after the conversation just now, his mind changed.

"What you said is right, there are indeed people who framed Qing Yang, saying that Qing Yang's father bought a thousand horses, but he had ill intentions and plotted against him, saying that Jiangning County is Gyeonggi County, and such a situation is not allowed, and he also said that he would deprive Qing Yang and his father of their fame."

Yang Tingshu's face turned pale, and his body trembled slightly, of course he was not stupid, since his grandfather said such a thing in front of him, his attitude was very clear, and Zheng Xunrui had no background, and when people attacked Zheng Xunrui, it was meaningful, and it was not so simple.

"Grandpa, my grandson didn't expect someone to be so boring and vicious, the scholars in Nanjing and Suzhou, who don't know that Qingyang and his grandson have a good relationship, if someone attacks Qingyang, how can my grandson get rid of it, jokes, buy a thousand horses, that is a rebellion, say that people are rebels without evidence, the next step is to say that grandchildren are also accomplices, Qingyang's father bought a thousand horses, Qingyang's crime is unforgivable, grandson and Qingyang are brothers, the same is not reported, this sin is not small, If Qingyang Township is deprived of the identity of the test solution, the child township test Yayuan will not be able to keep it. ”

Hearing Yang Tingshu say this, the smile on Yang Cheng's face became even more obvious, Yang Tingshu could have such a keen judgment ability, of course he was happy.

"What Sun Er said is right, you and Qingyang are almost tied together, since you said so much, then I will ask one more question, who do you think would do such a thing."

After Yang Cheng asked, Yang Tingshu's face was stern, and he thought for a while before speaking.

"Grandson thinks that this matter, the main messenger behind it is aimed at grandchildren, even directly against grandpa, Qingyang is outstandingly knowledgeable, but has never offended anyone, but after being with his grandson, he said a lot of things for his grandson, after his grandson withdrew from the company, he had encountered Zhang Pu, Yang Yi, Wu Weiye and Wu Changshi and other people's supplies, Qingyang said different words at that time, so that Zhang Pu They had nothing to say, it was a contradiction between the child and Yang Yi and others, and later it became a contradiction between Qingyang and them, The child also thought that when he traveled in Suzhou, Qingyang made Zhang Pu embarrassed, rejected Yang Yi's request for him to join Donglin Academy, etc., and his grandson even witnessed the grovelling people in the Restoration Society. ”

"If grandpa wants his grandson to judge, his grandson will boldly say that Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe are all inseparable."

Yang Cheng stood up with a smile.

"Huaidou, since you are familiar with Qingyang, you have made rapid progress, I am very pleased, you took the initiative to quit Yingshe, which makes me even more happy, as the saying goes, there must be my teacher in a threesome, what kind of friends you make is very important, those who are close to ink are black and close to Zhu are red, you still have to maintain a relationship with Qingyang in the future."

"What Grandpa just said, can my grandson tell Qingyang."

"Yes, and you have to do your best to see if Qingyang has any opinions or opinions."

"Okay, my grandson will go today, if Qing Yang has any opinions, my grandson will definitely report to my grandfather immediately."

After Yang Tingshu left, Yang Cheng's face quickly became gloomy.

The conversation just now made him more firm in his judgment, this matter is inseparable from the Donglin Party, Fushe and Yingshe, this kind of blatant attack, and also showed him the endorsement, as if it was a warning in front of him, of course, the other party may have another meaning, that is, let him Yang Cheng express his position, support the Donglin Party, Fushe and Yingshe, and attack Zheng Xunrui and the Zheng family, so that he Yang Cheng can be regarded as standing in line.

As everyone knows, these fools can't understand the emperor's meaning at all, and they think how accurate their calculations are, how sufficient the evidence is, why does the emperor want Dong Qichang to become the inner curtain official of the Nanzhili Township Test, why Dong Qichang happily accepted the holy decree, and talked to Zheng Xunrui as soon as possible after the Luming banquet.

Yang Wei came to prepare to write a recital to the emperor as soon as possible, but now he is not in a hurry, he wants to see what Zheng Xunrui says, and he also wants to see Dong Qichang's attitude towards this matter.

After Dong Qichang read the endorsement, the look on his face has always been very calm.

"What do you think, Lord Dong, when the official sees this endorsement, it is really difficult to sleep, if such a thing happens in Nanjing City, wouldn't the official have a serious fault."

"Carving insect skills, adults don't have to worry about such small things, presumably adults are here to see the opinions of the lower officials, the lower officials never like to participate in political affairs, and the adults also know."

"Master Dong, this Qingyang is your student, and you also gave Qingyang calligraphy and paintings, which say the words "no haste, be patient", could it be that Lord Dong has known these things for a long time."

"The adults laughed, Qingyang was young, and he became a Nanzhili Township to try to solve the yuan, this is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing, the good thing is that he has such a talent at a young age, which is gratifying, and the bad thing is that he is easy to be proud, and he may indulge in arrogance, and finally cause disaster because of arrogance, in addition, he encounters a lot of jealousy, people are staring at you all the time, and if you don't do a little thing well, you will be infinitely expanded by others, and even framed. But this is good and bad is transformed, and if you can grasp it well, then there will be nothing. ”

"What does Lord Dong think of these thousand horses?"

"I don't know about this lower official, but the lower official also likes horses, but he can't afford to buy so many."

Yang Cheng laughed and left.

Dong Qichang's expression has always been very calm, but after Yang Cheng left, his face still changed slightly.

"Old fox, I already know where you come from, it seems that the emperor's worries are still somewhat justified, but unfortunately this time, those people are boring to themselves, and they don't know how to analyze the situation well, how can such a blind attack work."

Dong Qichang muttered to himself while slowly walking towards the study, his official residence, the outside is the reception room, and the inside is the study, as for the office place, it is not needed.

This time the situation was a little different, after entering the study, Dong Qichang closed the door, took out the pen and paper, and slowly sharpened the inkstone, as if he was thinking about something.

Soon, Dong Qichang picked up the pen and began to write hard.

Half an hour later, a letter was sent from the residence of the six ministries and headed in the direction of the capital.
