Fujian, Anping.

"Mr. Zhao, are you sure that King Fu is now in the hands of Wu Sangui and his son?"

A jade belt was placed on the table in front of Zheng Zhilong, after seeing it, his voice was extremely cold, Zheng Zhilong looked at Zhao Wenji with a suspicious and fierce look, as if he wanted to force him to show his flaws, but Zhao Wenji did not hesitate to meet Zheng Zhilong's gaze.

Zhao Wenji said: "Obviously, there is no doubt about it, in addition to this jade belt, we also have two letters. They came from King Fu and King Lu, and both of them asked Lord Shen to support them as the new king. I think Zheng Gongzi should also explain this. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Wenji took out another letter from his arms and handed it to Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong saw that it was written by his son Zheng Sen, and he immediately shouted: "Take two more lamps, hurry up." ”

Zheng Zhilong arranged for his son to go to Nanjing to study, and he went to gild, he thought that he let his son go to Nanjing, leaving the complicated coastal area, and his son would be able to study in peace, but he never thought that then the matter of King Qin broke out, followed by the proposal to move the capital.

Zheng Sen followed Shen Youlong to King Qinwang of Liaozhen with Qian Qianyi's acquiescence, Zheng Zhilong was extremely angry, because he knew his son, as long as Zheng Sen was involved, the guy who regarded loyalty and patriotism as everything in life would definitely involve the Zheng family.

But Qian Qianyi's letter gave him an explanation, that is, all this was for the purpose of moving the capital.

When the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Nanjing, the old political order and power distribution would be broken, and the Zheng family could take the opportunity to go to the next level, so the Zheng family must participate in King Qin, and let Zheng Sen participate in King Qin, which is a starting point, and it will be easy to say in the future.

Of course, Qian Qianyi still hoped that the Zheng family could support him to suppress Shen Youlong in the new court in the future and obtain the position of first assistant, but Zheng Zhilong had other plans, perhaps he could support Shen Youlong, in exchange for his support for the Zheng family's control of Guangdong's coastal defense, and then use the power of the imperial court to force the Oriental Trading Company away from Guangdong, and then the Zheng family would control the benefits of maritime trade in Fujian and Guangdong provinces.

Of course, Shen Youlong may not agree, at that time, he can retreat to support Qian Qianyi, and include the extermination of the Oriental Trading Company in Qian Qianyi's political liquidation of Shen Youlong, which can also achieve the goal.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong has been in constant contact with Jiangnan recently, just to move the capital.

Who would have thought that Chongzhen died, the prince was bound, the Son of Heaven moved the capital and became the new monarch, and Daming suddenly experienced a new round of reshuffle.

This time, Qian Qianyi came to the door again, hoping that the Zheng family could support him to support King Lu as the king, Zheng Zhilong chose to wait and see at the beginning, as a conservative and greedy person, Zheng Zhilong's creed is never to gamble with his life, and always stand on the winning side, so when Qian Qianyi asked to rectify the soldiers and horses, ready to support King Lu, Zheng Zhilong chose to delay, this delay, and finally waited for the arrival of Zhao Wenji.

The Zheng family was born in the rivers and lakes, starting from the grass, among the letters, naturally has its own set of methods to confirm, Zheng Zhilong ordered people to get more lights, that is, to check carefully, if his son was forced to write this letter, Zheng Zhilong could see some cats, but after he checked, he found that there was nothing wrong with this letter, so what Zheng Sen said in the letter was credible.

Zheng Sen told exactly the same as the news brought by Zhao Wenhe, King Fu and King Lu are in the hands of the Wu family father and son in Liaozhen, and the Wu family father and son chose to support King Fu, Shen Youlong also supported King Fu, and in the south, the towns of Jiangbei and many governors and ministers also supported King Fu, and more importantly, King Fu's support was in line with the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Wenji saw that Zheng Zhilong had finished inspecting, and said lightly: "General Zheng, the situation is already obvious, now most of the military towns support King Fu, only you have not yet expressed your position." I think Qian Qianyi must have written to you to ask for support, but you should not agree to him. ”

"Mr. Zhao, how do you say this, my Zheng family and Mr. Qian have a deep relationship." Zheng Zhilong said.

Zhao Wenji laughed and said: "This is very simple, you assist Qian Qianyi to support King Lilu, but you have to send troops, but you don't need to do anything to support King Lifu, you just need to express your position." The difference between this can appear, and the other is that Qian Qianyi supports King Lu, and dares to ask where King Lu is? ”

Zheng Zhilong nodded slightly, a wicked smile bloomed on his face, and said, "Mr. Zhao, why are you so serious, I'm joking with you." Qian Qianyi has some friendship with my Zheng family, but it is just a relationship on the scene, not to mention anything else, he is my son's teacher, but my son also supports King Lifu.

As a teacher, he can't even influence his own disciples, let alone make decisions for my Zheng family.

Speaking of which, Qian Qianyi and my Zheng family can only be regarded as having friendships, but they have great kindness to my Zheng family, but Shen Youlong Lord Shen, this point, Zheng's whole family remembers, and they will definitely not forget it. The mentor of the dog, where is the kindness of my whole family? ”

Obviously, Zheng Zhilong has already made a choice, one bite at a time, as if Shen Youlong has become the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Wenji nodded slightly: "Since this is the case, the student is not welcome, this time to support King Fu, although it is Liaozhen who takes the lead, but Lord Shen has already agreed with Liaozhen, after the matter is completed, the Wu family is the first lord of the Ming Dynasty, and the proprietor of my family is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty."

Dong Weng, although open-minded, but for Qian Qianyi such a thief is absolutely intolerable, please General Zheng hand over your correspondence with Qian Qianyi, so that in the future, I will be guilty of this traitor and thief. ”

Zheng Zhilong smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao, how can you embarrass me, these days, the situation is unpredictable, I have exchanged a lot of letters with Qian Qianyi, many of which were reasonable at the time, and now that Xinjun confirms it, it seems a little rebellious." You know, it's all false and wrongful words, but they are extremely out of place....... ”

Zhao Wenji said: "General Zheng, Lord Shen has always valued you, how can you embarrass it, your Excellency just wants some evidence, and you will also make personal testimony in the future, but I didn't say that all the secret letters are coming, you choose one or two, it seems that there is no mistake on your side, take it out, and the students will go back to make a difference."

If you support the blessed king, you are a companion who shares the wealth, and this little help cannot but help. ”

Zheng Zhilong smiled: "I know that Enxiang and Mr. Zhao have always tolerated me, so they will do it." ”

Nanjing, on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

The weather was clear, and the blue sky sprinkled with warm sunlight, illuminating this rich street with golden light, and even more wealthy.

This street is densely packed with shops, all kinds of antique shops have a history of one or two hundred years, all kinds of silk shops, Sichuan and Guangzhou goods and northwest leather goods shops are lined up, and there are also shops selling goods from the East and the West, and all kinds of signboards are slowly swaying in the breeze.

On the streets, donkey vendors, wealthy merchants in sedan chairs abound, merchants with accents from all over the world shuttle among them, and the bustling streets, the sound of pianos, storytellers and laughter are mixed together, forming a special lively atmosphere.

"This is Nanjing, it is really rich and prosperous, compared to it, Liaoxi is simply a barbaric place." In a small sedan chair, Wu Xiang lifted the curtain and looked at the surrounding scenery, unable to stop feeling envious, but when he thought that soon after, these might belong to the Wu family, his heart was much more excited, and his old face was full of a somewhat strange ruddyness.

"Master Wu." A local accent sounded outside, it was the servant of the Qian family who was in charge of Wu Xiang's placement, and he said: "Tonight's bureau has been arranged, in Meixianglou, there are Li Xiangjun and Bian Yujing as companions, both of whom are famous women in Jiangnan, if it weren't for my wife's wife, it would be easy not to show up."

The old man also asked the little one to tell Master Wu that this woman was not an ordinary prostitute, and asked Master Wu to pay more attention to what he said and behaved when the time came. ”

Wu Xiang smiled faintly and said, "What does your master think of the old man, you can lead the way." ”

The Qian family servant outside smiled, and said in his heart What kind of thing are you old guy, don't you know, obviously you are discussing confidential matters, you refuse to go to the house, you don't even go to the restaurant, you have to come to this old courtyard, and you have to find the most famous woman on the Qinhuai River to accompany you.

is obviously old and not ashamed, but he is still pretending to be a decent gentleman here.

The sedan chair passed the tribute courtyard, passed through Wuding and looked, and arrived at the old courtyard of Jinling, which is still prosperous, but the shops are extraordinarily elegant, famous wine and tea, Qin Se Xiaosheng, gold and jade jewelry, etc., all of which are related to women, but there are not many contacts, and all of them are a business that costs a lot of money, after all, this is the real gold cave.

The small sedan chair stopped at a courtyard gate, Wu Xiang got off the sedan chair, under the guidance of the servants, entered the Meixiang Building, entered it, only the maid reception, and no one else, not only the two distinguished guests did not arrive, Li Xiangjun and Bian Yujing, who accompanied him, also did not arrive, Wu Xiang smiled faintly and said: "Find a room, the old man and rest, and when the main lord arrives, come and call me again." ”

Wu Xiang found a room to rest at will, and after a while, two people arrived, among which the elderly was Qian Qianyi, and another person, burly, although he was dressed as a scribe, but he was sword eyebrows and sideburns, quite heroic, it was the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu Shi Kefa.

"Wu Xiang has arrived?" Qian Qianyi had already looked at Wu Xiang's sedan chair at the door and asked.

The servant said, "Master Wu has been resting in the bedroom in the back hall for most of the hour. ”

"Is he alone? Can you ask a woman to accompany you? Shi Kefa asked.

"He's alone, and when he arrives, he just rests in his room and doesn't mention anything." The Qian family servant said.

Qian Qianyi and Shi Kefa glanced at each other, they both felt a little surprised, the Qian family servant said: "The villain reminded him to pay attention to his demeanor on the road according to the master's instructions, but he asked rhetorically, what did the master treat him as, the villain thought that he entered Meixianglou, but he wanted to reveal his true form, but he didn't see what happened to him."

Seem...... It doesn't seem to be for women. ”

Qian Qianyi took a sip and said behind him: "Hedongjun, you can hear it, don't worry, okay?" ”

Liu Ru followed behind, deliberately not entering the door, listened to the questions and answers of the master and servant, was a little relieved, and said: "In this case, I will invite the two younger sisters to come." ”

Li Xiangjun and Bian Yujing were invited by her, but they couldn't resist Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang proposed to support King Lu, which brought a way to life for the Luwang party who had fallen into the valley, but when Qian Qianyi and Shi Kefa wanted to discuss with him specifically, Wu Xiang had to gradually Qinhuai scenery to be willing, the so-called Qinhuai scenery naturally refers to the famous old courtyard woman on the Qinhuai River, everyone thought he was lustful, so he wanted to find two random prevarication past, anyway, where did this old hat from the north see the gentleness of the daughter of Jiangnan.

But who would have thought that Wu Xiang also did his homework and mentioned the names of several people, and finally Liu Ru came forward and invited Li Xiangjun and Bian Yujing to come.

After a while, Wu Xiang walked out, he had already freshened up, and sat in the Tingyu Xuan in Meixiang Building. Wu Xiang arrived in Nanjing for three days, only with Qian Qianyi secret contact, this time Shi Kefa came, Qian Qianyi naturally took the initiative to introduce, who would have thought, Wu Xiang just said hello, said: "Mr. Qian, what about the girl you invited?" ”

Shi Ke Faden was angry in his heart, although Li Xiangjun and Bian Yujing, who were invited, are quite famous and are not ordinary women, but in the end, he is the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, in the eyes of Wu Xiang, is he not as good as a woman?
