Chen Ji and others arrived in Nanjing City, very low-key, but they were still discovered by Qian Qianyi. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Qian Qianyi hated Chen Ji to the core, and he concluded that Chen Ji was definitely not good when he came to Nanjing at this moment.

Qian Qianyi went down to the court, explained some scriptures and meanings to Zheng Sen, and it was time for lunch.

"Hedongjun, do you know, Chen Ji has come to Nanjing. Qian Qianyi held the rice bowl and said suddenly.

Liu Ru was shocked in his heart, Chen Ji came to Nanjing, did he promise to disclose the identity of the crown prince Zhu Cihong? After thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely, because Chen Ji was not a person who easily changed his mind.

"He came to Nanjing and had nothing to do with us. Liu Ruye's voice was a little flat.

Qian Qianyi was curious.

Qian Qianyi asked: "Hedongjun, you and Chen Jiqing are the same sister and brother, your current attitude is different from before. What did you talk to Chen Ji about the last time you went to Huashan with Da Mu? Why did you become silent after you came back? Is Chen Ji disrespectful to you?"

Liu Ru is different from other women, Qian Qianyi is not good at forcing and restraining her, but her relationship with Chen Ji has always made Qian Qianyi very annoyed. Even a little annoyed.

In the past, he had no contact with the martial arts world, and Qian Qianyi was very respectful and jealous of Daoist Baihe and Chen Ji. Because martial arts masters like Daoist Baihe and Chen Ji are land immortals in the eyes of ordinary people. But after he had in-depth contact with the Shaolin Temple, he felt that the White Crane Daoist and Chen Ji were nothing remarkable.

Martial arts grandmasters, just a little stronger than ordinary people. In the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, there are many grandmasters, and it is not only the White Crane Daoist and Chen Ji who are grandmasters.

In the Shaolin Temple, there are also many grandmasters.

The martial arts master is no longer mysterious, and Qian Qianyi, the literary master and the leader of the Donglin Party, feels that he is superior again. He is a man who reads the books of the sages.

Liu Ru said: "I went to Huashan with Damu to persuade Chen Ji to contribute to the imperial court, even if he came to protect the emperor, it would be good." It's a pity that it backfired, and Chen Ji didn't agree at all. The relationship between me and Chen Ji is no longer what it used to be. ”

Qian Qianyi snorted coldly: "Chen Ji is the leader of the White Lotus Sect and the leader of the anti-thieves, is it appropriate for you to let him protect the emperor? ”

Shaolin Temple opened a martial arts hall in Nanjing City, and Qian Qianyi promoted it for them, and the relationship between the two sides was good.

Qian Qianyi said several times to the Shaolin Temple, hoping that Shaolin would send a martial arts master to protect the emperor closely, but the Shaolin Temple has not had a clear answer.

Shaolin Temple, as the top sect in the martial arts world, can see the general trend clearly, and the southern court is not the opponent of the Manchu Dynasty. Just ask, at this time, how could they send a grandmaster to serve Emperor Hongguang.

Qian Qianyi and Shaolin Temple are not friends, they just have a relationship of interest. Qian Qianyi wanted to invite the grandmaster of Shaolin Temple to come out of the mountain, but there was no possibility.

Liu Ru hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mu Zhai, you say, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still alive, will the civil and military officials support the Prince?"

Qian Qianyi was stunned: "Which Royal Highness the Prince?"

"Of course, it's Prince Zhu Cihong. Liu said.

Qian Qianyi shook his head and said, "Impossible." Zhu Cihong is already dead, how can he still be alive?"

Liu said: "I mean, if, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still alive. ”

Qian Qianyi wondered in his heart, why did Liu Ru always say that Zhu Cihong was still alive?

Could it be that Zhu Cihong is really not dead?

Qian Qianyi said with a normal face: "Okay, let's eat." The rest, more on that later. ”

After lunch.

Qian Qianyi found Zheng Sen.

"Da Mu, what happened when you and your sister went to Huashan?" Qian Qianyi asked bluntly, "Did you see anyone?"

Qian Qianyi's face was serious, and Zheng Sen felt as if he knew a lot. Zheng Sen has great respect for Qian Qianyi, after all, Qian Qianyi is his teacher.

"Teacher, we met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Kunxing in Huashan. Zheng Sen told the truth.

Qian Qianyi's face changed: "Sure enough! No wonder Hedongjun kept telling the old man that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still alive." ”

Zheng Sen asked, "Teacher, even if we want to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is no way." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worships Chen Ji as his teacher, and Chen Ji does not seem to have any intention of letting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascend the throne and become the emperor. ”

Qian Qianyi said coldly: "Okay, don't talk about Chen Ji anymore." Damu, you have to remember that you must never tell anyone else that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still alive. Otherwise, the news will spread and the foundation of the imperial court will be shaken. ”

Zheng Sen nodded and said, "Teacher, I know." ”

Qian Qianyi waved his hand: "Okay, you go down first." ”

After Zheng Sen left, Qian Qianyi said with a gloomy face: "Chen Ji, you are really a wolf with ambition. Do you really think that if you control His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you will be able to get the whole world? The current emperor, we, the scholars, and the scholars and doctors in the entire south, will not let you and the White Lotus Sect succeed. ”

..................

Chen Ji arranged his family in a large mansion, which was not far from the White Lotus Sect Martial Arts Hall, and was the property of the Nanjing Branch.

The house is good, but it is still not comfortable to live in Huashan.

Zhang Mingyue found Chen Ji with the letter and said, "Xianggong, there is news of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. ”

When Chen Ji saw Zhang Mingyue's serious face, he knew that it must be a big deal.

"You wait for me in the study first. ”

Zhang Mingyue nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Chen Ji said to his parents: "Dad, mother, I will discuss something with Mingyue, you guys will be busy first." ”

The mother said, "You go and get busy first, I can do these things at home with your father, and I don't need you to help." ”

Chen Ji entered the study and asked, "What is the situation?" ”

Zhang Mingyue handed over the information to Chen Ji: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty, with Duoduo as the main commander, led hundreds of thousands of troops in the direction of Nanjing. Among them, Kong Youde and Shang Kexi are also in the army. Luo Ping, the master of the Eagle Claw Gate, closely protects Duoduo. ”

Chen Ji frowned: "How could it be so fast! Could it be that Duoduo is coming for the White Lotus Sect?"

Chen Ji guessed inaccurately, Duoduo was not coming for the White Lotus Sect, but for him, the sect leader.

"Hundreds of thousands of troops, like Mount Tai pressing on the top, swept all the way. The Manchu army would soon arrive in Yangzhou. What should we do?" Zhang Mingyue had anxiety in her eyes.

Chen Jiyi clenched his fists, and his anger burst out, making the air in the study shook.

"Inform all the rudders, and let the people in the base area throw away all their things except clothes and food. Evacuate to Fujian as soon as possible. The light in Chen Ji's eyes flashed, and he said solemnly, "Also, Mingyue, you take your father and sister to leave Nanjing first, continue south, and go to Fujian." When I arrived at the rudder in Fujian, I sent a message to the flying pigeon and reported safety. ”

Zhang Mingyue has practiced innate skills, although he is only a first-class martial artist, but his skills are not much weaker than Wang Jiang, plus he has a cadre sword in his hand, which is enough to escape under the hands of ordinary grandmasters.

With Zhang Mingyue here, it is completely possible to protect the safety of parents and sister.

"What about you?" asked Zhang Mingyue.

Chen Ji said: "I can't leave yet. Here in Nanjing, I can't do without it for the time being. ”

Zhang Mingyue knew that Chen Ji had made up his mind, and persuasion was useless, so he could only nod and agree: "Okay." I'll be waiting for you at the rudder in Fujian, and as soon as you arrive in Fujian, we'll go to Taiwan at sea. ”

As soon as Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue finished talking, their mother knocked on the door of the study and shouted, "Stepson, Mingyue girl, Miss Liu is here." ”

Chen Ji said: "Mother, I know. I came out right away and asked Sister Liu to wait in the living room. ”

Zhang Mingyue asked, "Xianggong, do you still want to see her?"

Chen Ji sighed: "It's not that I want to see her, it's her who comes to see me." It's all at home, you say, can I not see it?"

Zhang Mingyue said: "Otherwise, let me go." I sent her away. ”

Now there are too many things in the White Lotus Sect, and Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue don't have the extra energy to greet Liu Ru at all.

Chen Ji shook his head and said, "No, I'll go in person." I also want to know what she wants to do when she comes to me. ”

Come to the living room.

Liu Ru is much more haggard than before.

"Sister Liu, as soon as we arrived in Nanjing, you came to me. What a well-informed message. Chen Ji said with a smile.

Liu Ru smiled slightly: "It was Mr. Mu Zhai who told me that you arrived in Nanjing." ”

Chen Ji asked, "Sister Liu, I don't know what happened when you came to me this time?"

Liu Ru said: "You took His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Nanjing at this time, did you change your mind and want to support His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Chen Ji frowned, and his tone was a little not good: "Sister Liu, I told you that I don't have His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here." If there is nothing else, please go back to Sister Liu. ”

"Chen Ji, Mr. Mu Zhai already knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still alive, and I believe that he will definitely unite the scholars and hundreds of civil and military officials in Jiangnan to support His Royal Highness the Prince. After Liu finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Chen Ji said secretly: "What a stupid woman. Will Qian Qianyi support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? If he doesn't come to plot against Zhu Cihong, thank God. ”

Zhang Mingyue said: "Xianggong, I'm afraid there will be another change." ”

"Mingyue, you will go out of the city tonight. Also, let the people below closely monitor Qian Qianyi and the movement of troops and horses in Nanjing. I'm afraid that Qian Qianyi will take a risk and break the net with us. ”

Zhang Mingyue knew that the situation was urgent: "Don't worry, as soon as it gets dark, I will take my father and mother and Zhu Cihong out of the city." ”

..................

Qian Qianyi came to Ma Shiying's mansion.

Ma Shiying wondered that Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, did not have a good relationship with him, why did he suddenly come to him?

"Brother Mu Zhai. Ma Shiying clenched his fists and smiled, "Why did you come to the Humble House today?"

Qian Qianyi said: "Elder Ma Ge, you are the first assistant and the secretary of the military department, I don't know how many troops you can mobilize?"

Ma Shiying's pupils shrank, and he said coldly: "Qian Muzhai, why are you asking this? How many soldiers and horses the old man can mobilize has nothing to do with you, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Qian Qianyi apologized, told Chen Ji and the crown prince Zhu Cihong about it, and finally said: "Ma Ge Lao, the current situation is a matter of urgency, if Chen Ji makes the identity of the crown prince Zhu Cihong public, we will be passive." We must get rid of Chen Ji, the leader of the White Lotus Sect's anti-thieves, as soon as possible. ”

Of course, by the way, Zhu Cihong was also removed.

Zhu Cihong is alive, and Zhu Yousong may not be able to sit firmly. Once the Hongguang regime falls, these "heroes from the dragon" will be unlucky.

It was about the crown prince Zhu Cihong, and Ma Shiying immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

"The old man can only mobilize 20,000 soldiers and horses at most. Ma Shiying thought for a while and said.

20,000 soldiers and horses, dealing with the White Lotus Sect rudder in Nanjing City, think it is enough.

Qian Qianyi proposed: "Elder Ma Ge, Chen Ji is a martial arts master, and his ability to escape is unmatched. From the old man's point of view, do you tell Shi Kefa about the matter and ask him to transfer some soldiers and horses from Yangzhou?"

Ma Shiying shook his head and said, "No." As long as the White Lotus Sect can be surrounded by the rudder, the 20,000 army is enough to get rid of Chen Ji, the world-famous swordsmanship master. ”
