(Thank you to the leisurely mosquito Lao Chen xx for voting for the precious monthly ticket, and thank you to the people of Yoga Mountain for my reward, thank you.) ）

June 15, the hour of the hour. Wen Zhenmeng's coffin returned to Suzhou.

Six years have passed, Zheng Xunrui saw Wen Qiankang again, but looking at Wen Qiankang's expression, it doesn't seem to be particularly sad, which makes Zheng Xunrui have a lot of feelings, feelings need to be established, Wen Zhenmeng's life, most of the time is addicted to the imperial examination, participated in the examination ten times in a row, lacks a minimum of care for his family, and the relationship between his son Wen Qiankang is even more indifferent, and later came to the court to be an official, it is impossible to care about his family.

Feelings need to be managed, even between father and son, love and hate for no reason do not exist.

The mourning hall has long been arranged, Wen Zhenmeng is a celebrity in Suzhou, and some people have long paid attention to this qiē, of course, the magic of the Wen family is not only Wen Zhenmeng's high school champion, but also Wen Zhenmeng's grandson-in-law Zheng Xunrui is also the champion of the palace examination, which makes the Wen family even more different.

The related arrangement matters were quickly rolled out, and the focus of this qiē was the responsibility of the housekeeper, and there were many people who helped.

Wen Zhenmeng's coffin returned home, and the people who came to mourn began to arrive one after another, and most of the condolences of the neighbors and villagers were Wen Zhenheng, who was familiar with the people around him, and Zheng Xunrui was mainly accompanied.

The first official to come to mourn was Yang Yipeng, the governor of Caoyun, the governor of the four prefectures of Jiangbei and the governor of the three prefectures.

Yang Yipeng's arrival surprised Zheng Xunrui.

The Caoyun Governor's Mansion was set up in Huai'an, Huai'an is 680 miles away from Suzhou, and Yang Yipeng rushed from Huai'an to Suzhou, which took at least three days. Being able to rush to Suzhou Mansion on the first day of the funeral shows that Yang Yipeng has been prepared for a long time, and he also came to mourn Wen Zhenmeng sincerely.

Yang Yipeng had to come to Wen Zhenmeng's funeral, he was not particularly familiar with Wen Zhenmeng, and he didn't have much to do with him. But the relationship with Zheng Xunrui is not ordinary, Zheng Xunrui returned to Nanzhili, Yang Yipeng learned the news, he came to condole, mainly to see Zheng Xunrui, there are some things to talk about between the two.

Zheng Xunrui is Yang Yipeng's savior. There is no doubt about this, at the beginning of the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Liukou attacked Fengyang Fucheng, if it were not for Zheng Xunrui to lead the Zheng family army to fight against the Liukou, defeated the Liukou and captured Cao Cao Luo Rucai. The consequences are unimaginable, Fengyang Mansion City has really fallen, Yang Yipeng doesn't want to be able to live, his family is also destined to be implicated, this is not an ordinary kindness, since then, Yang Yipeng has been thinking about thanking Zheng Xunrui, and also looking forward to establishing a good relationship with Zheng Xunrui.

The relationship between Zheng Xunrui and the Donglin Party was tense. Yang Yipeng is no better, as the governor of Caoyun, the governor of the four prefectures and three prefectures in Jiangbei. Yang Yipeng has a very strong opinion on the approach of the Donglin Party, Jiangbei is a rich land, and the merchants here are rich but do not bear any taxes, the reason is that these rich businessmen are closely united with the Donglin Party and join the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party, who was born as a scholar, was in the imperial court and cried out for these merchants. Don't let them bear any taxes, and I can't wait for the court to subsidize the merchants. Not to mention the scholars in the south, who are closely connected with the merchants and are also quite wealthy, it can be said that the merchants and scholars have really controlled the Donglin Party.

But the people, who were not very wealthy, bore all the taxes.

Empathize, Yang Yipeng saw through the faces of the Donglin Party, but in Huai'an, this is also the nest of the Donglin Party, and the people are powerful, so it is impossible for him to confront the Donglin Party alone, so he took a perfunctory posture, not offending or making friends.

This time, taking advantage of Wen Zhenmeng's funeral, Yang Yipeng made a special trip to visit Zheng Xunrui, which was meaningful.

Zheng Xunrui also attached great importance to Yang Yipeng's visit, after the crossing, he changed part of the history, at least Yang Yipeng, the governor of Caoyun, survived, if it wasn't for Zheng Jiajun defeating the Liukou and protecting the city of Fengyang, so that Fengyang Zhong was not ravaged by the Liukou, then the ending would be completely different, Yang Yipeng would have been beheaded and abandoned the city.

Why did Yang Yipeng make a special trip to mourn Wen Zhenmeng, and what Zheng Xunrui wanted to talk to him, these are all questions that Zheng Xunrui thinks about, and they are also issues that need to be paid special attention to when talking to Yang Yipeng.

After Yang Yipeng worshiped Wen Zhenmeng, Zheng Xunrui took him to the study.

The two talked in the study for an hour.

Wen Zhenheng was in charge of receiving guests outside, and Wen Zhenheng did not disturb Zheng Xunrui, and even after the conversation ended, he did not ask.

Yang Yipeng left after eating, and Zheng Xunrui did not stay.

After Yang Yipeng left, Zheng Xunrui was still busy and needed to receive many guests who came to mourn, but he often fell into a state of contemplation.

It should be said that at Wen Zhenmeng's funeral, Zheng Xunrui was able to talk with Yang Yipeng for an hour, which was very rare and attracted everyone's attention.

The second official who came to mourn was Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department.

Yang Yipeng and Fan Jingwen came to condole, which surprised the guests of the Wen family, it should be said that they did not know Zheng Xunrui very well, after all, Zheng Xunrui was not in the capital for a long time, and soon went to Shaanxi, plus Nanzhili is the place where the Donglin Party people are concentrated, and the Donglin Party people here will not specifically promote Zheng Xunrui, although Zheng Xunrui is the champion of the palace examination and has unusual knowledge.

However, Wen Zhenmeng died, and at the funeral, Yang Yipeng, the governor of Caoyun, and Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, came to pay their respects, which made everyone look at Zheng Xunrui with admiration.

Everyone understands that Yang Yipeng, Fan Jingwen and others came to mourn, and they must have come for the sake of Zheng Xunrui's face.

Yao Ximeng, who went home for the funeral not long ago, was much deserted, and almost no officials from Nanzhili came.

Fan Jingwen's fame is also very great, and the officials of Nanzhili all know that his bones are very hard, and he is not attached to the eunuch party, nor is he attached to the Donglin party, although he was forcibly attributed to the Donglin party because he was not attached to the eunuch party.

Fan Jingwen also disliked the Donglin Party, because of the party struggle among the Donglin Party in the court.

As the highest official of Nanzhili, Fan Jingwen came to mourn Wen Zhenmeng, which has an unusual meaning.

Zheng Xunrui also entered the study with Fan Jingwen to talk, and the time of this conversation was a little shorter, about half an hour, but in the eyes of everyone, the time was not short.

The third person who came to offer condolences was Zhou Yanru, the former cabinet minister.

Zhou Yanru came to condole, and everyone can understand that Zhou Yanru's concubine daughter Zhou Bingyan is already the wife of Zheng Xunrui's younger brother Zheng Kaihua, and the wedding has already been handled, speaking of which Zhou Yanru and Zheng Xunrui are already relatives.

Zhou Yanru resigned as the first assistant of the cabinet and returned to his hometown, on the surface, he didn't care about political affairs, he read books and made friends with people every day, but in fact, Zhou Yanru always paid attention to the government and politics.

Zheng Xunrui talked with Zhou Yanru for a longer time, this is because Zheng Xunrui knew that after Zhou Yanru returned to his hometown, there was some contact with the Donglin Party, and some of the Donglin Party members faintly expressed their intention to support him to enter the court again as an official, and Zhou Yanru himself did not refuse, but after Zhou Yanru's concubine daughter married Zheng Kaihua, the relationship between him and the Donglin Party was a little indifferent.

Zheng Xunrui was unwilling to watch Zhou Yanru fall to the Donglin Party.

This conversation lasted for half an hour.

Zhou Yanru did not leave immediately, and rested at Wen's house that day.

The fourth person who came to mourn was Dong Qichang, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites.

Dong Qichang is Zheng Xunrui's mentor.

Entering the capital to participate in the examination, Zheng Xunrui has never seen Dong Qichang, this time when he saw it, he was surprised, Dong Qichang is already very old, and he is not very neat when he walks, and he can't be compared with a few years ago.

Dong Qichang's reputation in Nanzhili and the capital even surpassed that of Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department.

Seeing Dong Qichang, Zheng Xunrui took the initiative to salute, a teacher for one day and a father for life, in front of Dong Qichang, he couldn't be presumptuous.

The officials who came to mourn one after another, the identities are not ordinary, which also made the Wen family attract everyone's attention, as for Zheng Xunrui, who presided over the funeral, it has become the object of everyone's discussion, Suzhou is not an ordinary place, there are many readers here, when Zheng Xunrui was not yet lifted, he once traveled to Suzhou with Yang Tingshu, a poetry competition, at that time, it shocked the readers of Suzhou Mansion, so that Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society, was convinced, a few years later, when Zheng Xunrui came to Suzhou again, he alarmed so many court officials, This has already illustrated a qiē.

Wen Zhenmeng died suddenly in the position of deputy assistant to the cabinet, the specifications of his funeral were not ordinary, the officials of Nanzhili came to pay respects, on the surface it is very normal, but everyone knows that there is no successor of the Wen family, in this case, many officials can send representatives to come to mourn, but there is no need to come to mourn in person.

After the funeral began, there were a lot of scholars who came to mourn, but they did not see the scholars of Donglin Academy, which is a very peculiar scene, Wen Zhenmeng was the champion of the palace examination before his death, and he was also the pride of Suzhou.

When approaching the child's time, Wen Zhenheng asked Zheng Xunrui to rest, I am afraid that there will be many people who come to mourn in the coming day, Zheng Xunrui needs to take a good rest, a day down, Yang Yipeng, Fan Jingwen, Zhou Yanru and Dong Qichang and others came to mourn, which has made the Wen family attract everyone's attention, as a member of the Wen family, Wen Zhenheng has a light on his face, and he also knows that these people came to mourn, most of them are for Zheng Xunrui's face.

Zheng Xunrui needs to rest, not thinking about sleeping, but needs to calm down and think well, today's conversation is not ordinary, from these conversations, he has obtained a lot of information, and also faintly predicted the next direction of the court situation, the situation is not as bad as he and Wen Zhenheng imagined, the Donglin Party cannot completely control the government, at least from the current point of view.

After all, the emperor is not a fool, and he can see a lot of things. (To be continued)
