Six side dishes, a pot of old wine.

An old man and a man in the prime of life sit together. This scene is very symbolic, Liu Suifeng and Zong Mao each take what they need.

The two most powerful subordinates of Zhai Zhewenchen, they finally came together. Only when they walk together can they control the government under the situation of being surrounded by southerners.

This is a rare opportunity, in order to ascend to the regent throne, the King of Jin had to suppress the Donglin Party line, but the depth of the attack is still inconclusive. Together, they can do more.

Chen Zilong's identity is a big taboo, Chen Zilong is very smart, and he didn't provoke Zhai Zhe to give them a chance.

We are the ones who go north, and they all see this sentence clearly from each other's eyes.

A pot of wine can't get two people drunk.

Liu Suifeng said: "The prince doesn't take the Zheng family seriously, but it's not the case. Now is the time when the imperial court is at its weakest, and there is a high possibility of accidents in the war. Although the Ming Dynasty was divided into various factions, it was two different things to intrigue in the dark and tearing up its face in the open, and if it was openly opposed to Fujian and Guangdong, the imperial court would fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts. Moreover, the Great Western Army is a variable"

Zong Mao understood and said: "Therefore, the prince deliberately relegated those imperial histories to Taiwan to warn Zheng Zhilong."

Liu Suifeng nodded and said: "The officials of the Ming Dynasty can give up their lives in order to seek fame, but the prince doesn't want their lives, but demotes them to a wild and isolated island, and lets them live the rest of their lives without anyone knowing, which is more uncomfortable than killing them."

The two of you said a word to me, and they did everything that King Jin did.

"If you leave Nanjing tomorrow, I'll leave too"

"Where are you going?" Zong Mao was surprised, he had a lot of eyeliner in Nanjing, but he hadn't heard about Liu Suifeng yet.

"I have asked the prince for a trip to Yunnan, and we will meet again in Nanjing in the near future."

Zong Mao touched the wine glass, the glass was hollow, and the wine in the pot was there.

Liu Suifeng is also a person who does things.

"That's it for tonight, all the way," he said, getting up and bowing his hand, turning to leave.

Liu got up with the wind and sent it to the door. He has been in poor health in recent years, the road to Yunnan is far away, and he is a poor country all the way.

Somo likes to do things, and he wants to practice the court skills that his grandfather taught him.

Nanjing's waterways are convenient, and the next day, the three governors returned to their respective jurisdictions.

On the same day, military information came from Sichuan, and Wu Sangui recovered Hanzhong and regained control of the gateway out of Shu. Zhao Zhicheng accepted the Fan family's spy network in Jiangbei, and there were vendors from all over the country to report the news, and the military newspaper was always fast. In his secret report, he mentioned that there was no major war in Hanzhong, as if Azig had abandoned Sichuan and made every effort to recover Xi'an.

After receiving the military report, Zhai Zhe urgently summoned Liu Quan.

In the eventful autumn of Nanjing, Liu Quan has been waiting here.

From the beginning of the battle for the regent, the gates of the Jin Palace's palace were closed to the vast majority of courtiers. There aren't many people who are qualified to step through this door. Zhai Zhejin's position as regent has been decided, but the bargaining between the factions, the appointment of personnel has not yet been determined, and Zhai Zhe himself does not seem to be in a hurry. Liu Quan was in charge of the money village for the king of Jin and would never participate in the court dispute.

Since Zhai Zhe gained power, no one has had a smooth life compared to him.

Now everyone knows that Rishengchang is the property of King Jin.

The main business of the Risheng Chang is between the private funds and the Ming household department, from this year, the Ming prefectures and counties to send to the capital of the Tian Fu do not need to spend soldiers to escort, the local government only needs to deposit the silver into the Risheng Chang treasury, and then by the household department from the Risheng Chang Nanjing General Number to withdraw. Travelers doing business in various parts of the Ming Dynasty no longer need to carry a large amount of money with them, so as not to be spied on by gangsters. The only flaw is that the Risheng Chang has openly announced the shareholders behind the scenes, and can no longer expand the Qing court district of Jiangbei.

Soldiers and horses fight all year round, rewards, military rations need silver, with the Rishengchang, it is like having an emergency treasury.

Liu Quan met the King of Jin and bowed down, and his demeanor was very different from the past.

"Meet the Prince"

"No need to do this gift"

The gap in status between the two seems to have widened suddenly. Liu Quan knelt in front of Zhai Zhe, and suddenly felt as small as an ant.

Zhai Zhe is about to become the regent of the Ming Dynasty, and may soon ascend to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor. If Zhai Zhe ascends to the throne, he will also become an imperial businessman, and Rishengchang will be the brightest star in the Ming business world.

Zhai Zhe saw that Liu Quan was proud, and he looked completely different from his brother. He praised: "The share capital of the Rishengchang has increased rapidly recently, and the shopkeeper Liu has contributed to it."

"The prince has paved the way, and the villain is just sitting back and enjoying the success."

Zhai Zhe talked about the intention of summoning him, and said: "You are familiar with the merchants in Huguang and Jiangnan, I have something for you to do."

"Wu Sangui, the king of Zhenxi, has just recovered Hanzhong, and the road from Shu to Shaanxi has been opened, you contact Sichuan merchants to traffic grain and grass supplies to Xi'an, if there is a shortfall, first pay in advance by Rishengchang."

Liu Quan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it still the accounts of the household department?" ”

"Yes, although the household department is in deficit now, there will be a day when it can earn money."

Rishengchang has become the largest creditor of the Ming household, if it is replaced by another silver number, the imperial court may be able to blatantly repay the debt, but the owner of the Rishengchang can not afford to offend.

When Du Yinxi took office as the head of the household department, he wanted to pay off the arrears of the Rishengchang, but later he disappeared the old accounts, and the new accounts came again, like waves in the sea. Especially in this year's war in Jiangbei, the amount of money and grain needed is extremely huge. His resignation from the position of secretary of the household department is not unrelated.

Daming's silver and Daming's soldiers and horses were in the hands of King Jin, and he was disheartened and finally gave up that little illusion.

"The villain knows" Liu Quan doubted whether the household would be able to pay off the arrears of the money village, but after thinking about it, when the king of Jin ascended the throne, the household department and the money village were both royal money, and he didn't need to worry about this kind of thing.

Liu Quan was ordered to leave.

Zhai Zhe ordered Fang Jin to prepare for an afternoon trip.

After the king of Jin returned to Nanjing, he went out again, not to meet the emperor, but to the mansion of Chen Zilong, the secretary of the ministry.

Zhai Zhe rarely sits in a sedan chair, and the large sedan chair carried by sixteen people is very stable, and he feels that from today on, maybe there will be more days in a sedan chair than on horseback.

After suppressing the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, the King of Jin took the initiative to visit Chen Zilong, bringing a glimmer of hope to the resentful and fearful Donglin scholars. After being woken up by a few stuffy sticks, they are now in the hands of King Jin, and they seem to have no choice but to resign and go home. But most people still want to be officials.

Chen Zilong set up a family banquet to receive the king of Jin. He looked cold and didn't look sick.

There were no outsiders at the banquet, only two people.

Kou Baimen of Xuanwu Fang was invited to perform, singing and dancing. Zhai Zhe didn't know her, but Kou Baimen's appearance reminded him of the Hangzhou singer.

After the song, Zhai Zhe asked, "Do you know how to sing the Jinshan War Drums?" ”

Kou Baimen stopped, blessed with a blessing, and said: "The slave family can sing, but today there is only one slave family, and he can't sing this play." ”

"It's okay, you just pick up a few pieces and sing."

Kou Baimen raised his voice softly and sang:

"I'm a red jade all the way

But I saw the woman in the north and the husband in the south crying and shaking the ground

The family is ruined, and the people are angry

The soldiers have no ambitions

Angry horses don't sit idle all day

With a bang, the city was broken

Flee and whip your horse

This is the loss of ambition and ambition

How can the country not be broken"

She does have a good voice, with a meandering tone and full of mourning.

Zhai Zhe side, seeing Chen Zilong's sad face, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you step down."

Kou Baimen bowed and left the banquet hall.

This Ming dynasty is not Zhu Jiahui's, but the two of them joined forces to restore it. Zhai Zhe just wanted to evoke Chen Zilong's memories of the panic and unbearable years when he shaved the order. It was Chen Zilong's most painful day, and now it is his most glorious moment.

"Brother Wozi, I haven't played against you for a long time, do you remember that sleepless night in Ningbo Mansion?"

Chen Zilong said: "The prince is interested, how dare I disobey"

"Please"

"Please"

The two got up and left the banquet hall and changed to a pavilion, Chen Zilong ordered the servants to go to the study to get Go, and the guards of King Jin guarded at the gate of the courtyard.

Zhai Zhe took the lead, and Bai Zi was put on the plate.

"It's not easy for the Han family to recover, I stop now, can Emperor Longwu keep the southeast corner?"

"Can't"

"If I don't ascend to the regent throne, can I keep Zheng Zhilong from rebelling?"

"Can't"

"Between me and Emperor Longwu, is there still a chance to resolve it?"

"I ......, I don't know."

There was a crackle on the chessboard, and the two of them were arguing with each other, asking and answering. In the whole game of chess, neither of them took a long test, and they dropped the chess pieces like a gamble.

Half an hour later, Chen Zilong threw himself in the towel. His heart is disturbed by the choice he makes today, which means overturning the doctrine he has believed in for decades.

Zhai Zhe opened a bargaining chip: "Brother Wozi retreats to Songjiang, and I will keep Du Linzheng, Zhou Lixun, Xu Fuyuan and Peng Bin's positions in the court, but Xia Yunyi's words have been fierce recently, and I asked him to go back to be a companion for Brother Wozi." ”

"Listen to the arrangement of the prince," Chen Zilong exhaled.

"If you have free time, you can go to Suzhou Academy, Fang Mizhi is doing a hundred-year plan there, you and I are not as good"

Zhai Zhe admired Fang Yizhi, and at the same time compared Chen Zilong with himself.

Chen Zilong is very useful.

The needs of the literati are in another realm, they not only need power and status, but also respect and recognition.

Chen Zilong's resignation cannot be stopped, he, the veteran of the restoration society, is placed in the court, and it is difficult for Zong Mao to act drastically. But Zhai Zhe is by no means completely suppressing the Donglin Party, and hopes that some people will not misunderstand his intentions. Chen Zilong is suitable to be a Shoucheng Zaifu, but now it is a pioneering situation.

Leaving the Chen Mansion, Zhai Zhe's heart fell to the ground.

Stabilizing Chen Zilong is the most important part of his plan. Even if it was the temptation of the regent throne, he didn't want to turn against Chen Zilong because of it. Chen Zilong's compromise meant that Jiangnan Shizi would not cause too violent reactions.

Chen Zilong is a humble gentleman and acts resolutely, if he hadn't been born in the Fushe Society and was bound by countless nostalgia and human feelings, he should have been the most suitable Zaifu.
