Revisiting the old place, less than an hour after entering Tianjin City, Tang Zihe got on his horse and left in a hurry.

Looking back at this familiar city again, every corner of it is covered with traces of love and hate, and as it fades away, the distant city seems to have transformed into his smile, lonely and proud, standing quietly on the seashore, silently showing her the promise of the past, as indestructible as the bluestone on the city wall.

When he turned to look ahead, Tang Zihe's face was extremely resolute.

For more than a year, she has been on the road, from Bazhou to Beijing, and from Beijing to Jiangxi, after Zhu Chenhao's rebellion was quelled by the imperial court, she quietly retreated, as if another invisible silk thread pulled herself, she finally couldn't help but ride back to Tianjin.

She wanted to see her hometown, the eaves of the house where she used to live with him, the plum tree in the courtyard of the official government if it bloomed again this year, and she wanted to stand under the plum tree with a smile and recall the time when a needle pierced his back and left him alive and still......

Loaded with memories of the past, it was another season of wind and snow, and plum blossoms, Tang Zihe came back quietly, but she didn't have time to find traces of memories, so she had to leave quickly.

Qin Kan is in trouble, how can she sit idly by?

She doesn't understand the court fight, it's a man's business, but the side of the fight is her man!

From just a few words from the two tea guests, she had a premonition that something was not good, when Qin Kan led 100,000 troops to besiege Bazhou, she also felt the same way, and her feelings never lied to her.

Embattled, she had to go back. Among those who go with him in his afflictions, she must be there.

Jingshi Ningguo Mansion.

Xu Peng sat cross-legged on the warm kang, his lips squirmed up and down quickly, although the little grandfather is a foodie, he is very elegant in appearance, which is inseparable from the good tutor of the Guogong Mansion, no matter how much he likes food, he is not allowed to act like a soil dog meets a bone and licks and gnaws.

Xu Pengju looked very ...... when he was eating Sacred, usually holding food in both hands, staring at it with sparkling eyes. Then bite down reverently. As the food was chewed in his mouth, he kept looking up and looked around, and there was a faint vigilance in his eyes, as if someone was rushing out at any moment to snatch what he was holding.

Qin Kan sat cross-legged on the chair and looked at him with a smile, watching Xu Pengju eat was more interesting than eating by himself. Like a squirrel gnawing on nuts. Stupid and stupid.

Xu Pengju eats eggs. Qin Kan casually invented the tea egg a few days ago, the tea egg did not exist in this era, and it was a very fresh thing. After cooking, it is cold soaked for four or five hours, and the taste is when it is fragrant.

For the novel food, Xu Pengju will never refuse, Qin Kan suspects that even if he puts the shit on the plate in a chic way, he will not hesitate to swallow it in one bite, not to mention the fragrant tea eggs, his eyes lit up when he first saw it, and he ate four directly without saying a word, and now he has begun to struggle towards the fifth.

"Uh-"

While eating, Xu Pengju suddenly rolled his eyes, and his mouth opened wide.

Qin Kan made a gesture for a while, and the maid with cold water on the side hurriedly handed the water to Xu Peng's mouth, and then patted him on the back for a while before he could breathe.

"You didn't make such a delicious thing earlier, and your conscience was eaten by a dog?" The little grandfather who has eased up is not very good-tempered.

Qin Kan sighed: "Aren't you eating eggs?" Why do you care about my conscience again? Little grandfather, the fifth, this thing is occasionally eaten as a pastime, eating too much is not good for the body, it is enough to stop. ”

"If you want to eat, you don't care, ask your cook to make another pot, and I'll take it back to eat." Xu Peng raised his mouth and still didn't stop, and said vaguely while eating: "I only have such an elegant person left in my life, whoever stops me is my enemy." ”

Xu Peng raised his mouth and closed it, but there was a confusion in his eyes that he couldn't see the future.

Good luck after death in the previous life, he voted for a good fetus when he was randomly assigned, he was born without bad money or lack of food and clothing, and the title waited for him for more than a hundred years, just waiting for him to inherit, if there is no rebellion and become the emperor, if nothing else, the title of viscount in this life will come to an end, Qin Kan sometimes puts himself in Xu Pengju's shoes to think about it, I really feel that there is really no challenge in this life, such days are really ...... I'm very happy.

Even after swallowing a few tea eggs, foodies such as little grandfathers don't dare to eat more, for fear of choking to death.

After pouring a few sips of tea, Xu Pengju burped and said slowly: "The Jingshi has not been peaceful these days, you won't feel it, right?" A few days ago, the Jindian court meeting, the royal bureaucracy pointed the finger at you, although you relied on it, but this matter is not over, I guess they have new tricks......"

Qin Kan smiled bitterly: "Even people like you can see the clues, it seems that I really have a steel knife and a neck this time......"

Xu Pengju said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by a person like me? It's a blind man who can see that something is wrong, don't you know what those civil officials are? Now that this matter has begun, they will not give up until they kill you. ”

Qin Kan sighed: "Am I so annoying? In the past few years since I entered the dynasty, I have been gentle and polite, I have never robbed the wives and concubines of civil officials, and I have never dug their ancestral graves......"

After a pause, Qin Kan's tone suddenly became hesitant: "Whether or not the ancestral grave is planed is to be discussed...... Well, even if I dig up their ancestral graves, where else have I done anything to offend them? It's just unreasonable! ”

Xu Pengju's eyes widened in surprise: "Even other people's ancestral graves have been dug up, and you still have the face to look innocent?" ”

"But before I dig the ancestral grave, I usually be reasonable...... Qin Kan Zhenzhen has words, looking like a gentleman.

Xu Pengju sighed: "Do you know why I came to your door today?" ”

"If it's not surprising, I should have come specifically to eat tea eggs......"

"Your mouth is going to kill people...... This matter is very serious, you don't take it lightly, the civil officials don't know what medicine Lu Dao took wrong, we just get a small share of the huge profits from the sea, the Ming Haijiang is so big, the silver is inexhaustible, who of our honors has not partnered with businessmen to do this kind of business before? I really can't figure out why they have to make a big deal this time. ”

Qin Kan sighed: "The drunkard's intention is not to drink, the civil officials care not only about us making money from shipping, they think further, first, this time I will take the lead to unite the nobles of Beijing and Nanjing, and the nobles and nobles who participated in our transaction are a total of dozens of families, in the past, you nobles also did it in private, but they all made a fortune in their own affairs, and now this force is twisted together by me, do you know how big the energy of dozens or hundreds of nobles is?" It is enough to pose a threat to the civil official group, and now that the court is the pattern of the emperor and the scholars ruling the world together, how can the civil officials want to see another force rise up from the ground, fight against them or even replace them? ”

Xu Pengju was surprised: "They think so far? ”

"They are all people who have been rolling in the court for half their lives, and the shallow eyelids have long been washed clean by the big waves, who doesn't have the vision to take a step and see a hundred steps? The ministers, whether privately or not, took aim at me, and the reason for this was that they were afraid of the strength of the nobles twisted into a rope. ”

Qin Kan sneered a few times, and then said: "Second, the civil officials do not allow us to build ships and go to sea, on the surface, they don't want their own private interests to be divided, but in fact, this time we are bright and bright to build ships and recruit troops and artillery, they have already seen through my thoughts, going to sea for profit is false, and the ban on opening the sea is true, if I really open the sea ban, then everyone can build ships and go to sea to trade with the vassal countries, at that time, what is the advantage of civil officials and scholars, a group of cysts who only know how to use power for personal gain, what ability do they have to compete with the world's businessmen?" ”

Xu Pengju thought thoughtfully: "So this time the civil officials are making a big move against you, and they want to get rid of you as soon as possible, just to strangle the signs that are unfavorable to them first, and continue to maintain the century-old interests of the civil officials and doctors?" ”

Qin Kan sighed: "Their interests are maintained, my Ming Dynasty's national fortunes are exhausted, in the final analysis, this time I have a dispute with civilian officials, in fact, it is a dispute between self-interest and national fortunes, I have no other choice but to collide head-on with them, and see who has the most laugh." ”

Xu Pengju's expression was uncertain, pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "I came today to tell you a bad news, these days I have been playing with many children of the noble family in Beijing, and I heard a news, many of their elders are ready to retreat, after all, this time the civil officials are menacing, and the titles of the nobles are all from the desperate battle of the ancestors a hundred years ago, and the family has deep roots and leaves, and they can't afford to take this risk......

Qin Kan sighed.

All interest groups are the same, they can only share wealth and nobility, not weal and woe, and they are never monolithic.

Saying that, Xu Pengju's expression was a little sneering, and he said quite ashamedly: "My grandfather heard about the Jingshi from somewhere, and sent an eight-hundred-mile fast horse to send a message to me, and the Duke of Wei will not participate in the matter of the cooperation of the lords and nobles to build a ship and go to sea, and the situation in the Beijing will be clear in the future......

Qin Kan stared at Xu Pengju and said, "What about you?" What do you think? ”

Xu Pengju suddenly straightened his chest and said loudly: "Of course I'm on your side!" I burned the letter that my grandfather sent me after reading it, how can I not be a friend? When you are rich, you hook your shoulders and put your back on your back, and when you are in trouble, you can clear up the relationship, I Xu Pengju can't do this kind of thing! ”

Qin Kan was moved, although a foodie is a foodie, at least he is a foodie.

Life has a confidant, what a regret is the husband. In order to reward his confidant, Qin Kan decided to set up an altar in his inner courtyard tonight, praying that the heavens would send down divine thunder, so that Old Master Xu would be ranked in the immortal class as soon as possible, and Little Grandpa Xu would inherit the title as soon as possible......
