Peng Rong had been waiting here for a long time before Jiang Jin came. Because Peng Rong's special identity, Jiang Yi did not make any other arrangements after he brought him in. Until Jiang Jin came, Peng Rong did not even prepare a glass of water in front of him.

When he sat down, Jiang Jin did not call the servant to serve tea, because the servants around him had been sent far away by him, and even Jiang Yi was waiting in the garden outside to prevent outsiders from passing by.

It is very rude to do this. No matter what identity Peng Rong is, since he is a guest, he will be treated politely no matter what. However, Jiang Jin did not make any arrangements, so Peng Rong naturally did not say it. The two of them tacitly put such trivial matter aside.

Facing Peng Rong, Jiang Jin did not get into the topic directly, but asked Peng Rong whether he had worked hard to go to Gui this time like a friend. Peng Rong smiled and told him that this time he went to Nanjing to open up some joints for Zhao Hongcan.

After all, Zhao Hongcan is now a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and Guangxi is also considered the territory of the Ming Dynasty. As a minister, it is normal for him to spend some time in the officialdom. Moreover, with the changes in the war situation in Guizhou, although Zhao Hongcan had the upper hand, the army had some shortcomings in food and grass and needed to purchase one or two.

Jiang Jin smiled and nodded slightly. Peng Rong's words were equivalent to explaining how he could easily come to Nanjing from Guangxi. Although Jiang Jin knew in his heart that it was not difficult to find a reason to meet him with Peng Rong's wisdom, under the current circumstances, it is better to ask some things clearly.

Since talking about the food and grass issues of Zhao Hongcan's troops, Jiang Jin was very enthusiastic about how much food and grass they needed to purchase and whether he wanted him to say hello to help or something.

Peng Rong hurriedly thanked Jiang Jin for his kindness, and then smiled and said that this matter had been arranged before, so Jiang Jin did not need to come forward.

The two of them made some polite questions and then followed the topic and started chatting everywhere. They not only talked about the current situation in Guizhou, but also talked about other things. When it came to the rise, they would even laugh a few times at the same time. If people who didn't know even thought that Jiang Jin and Peng Rong were old friends for many years when they saw this scene.

After talking nonsense for nearly half an hour, Peng Rong suddenly stood up and saluted Jiang Jin solemnly. Just when Jiang Jin thought Peng Rong was about to talk about the main topic, who would have thought that Peng Rong would apologize to Jiang Jin as soon as he spoke.

"What is Mr. Peng's intention? What is the crime?" Jiang Jin was stunned and looked at the other party with some confusion.

Peng Rong sighed and said, "The master of the ministry doesn't know that the Cao people apologized for the crime today, but for the loyal and brave king that year."

"King Zhongyong?" Jiang Jin didn't react for a moment, and then he thought about it and remembered who this King Zhongyong was.

"That's right!" Peng Rong sighed, and then he began to talk about how he was entrusted to go to Jiangxi. After finding Zhou Zhongliang, he provoked Yuan Qi as a lobbyist. With his perfect tongue, he finally convinced Zhou Zhongliang and others. Then he took advantage of Yuan Qi's opportunity to fight and let Yuan Qi turn to the Qing Dynasty, which led to Yuan Qi's defeat and death.

Afterwards, the entire Jiangxi fell into the hands of the Qing army, and Zhou Zhongliang turned into a member of the Qing Dynasty because of betraying Yuan Qi. Peng Rong did not hide the consequences of these matters at all, and explained them thoroughly, and then apologized to Jiang Jin again.

After hearing this, Jiang Jin suddenly gasped. He never expected that Peng Rong would have a side that he didn't know. When Yuan Qi was defeated, Zhu Yicheng was conquering Fujian, Guangdong and other places. At that time, he only knew that the reason why Yuan Qi ended up like this was because of the betrayal of Zhou Zhongliang and others.

So after taking down Jiangxi and capturing Zhou Zhongliang and others, Zhu Yicheng sent these people to Gao Jin's side to win over Gao Jin's troops, and did not torture and ask about the matter back then.

After all, this incident has been a long time since. As the culprit, Zhou Zhongliang will end up in the end. Neither Zhu Yicheng nor Jiang Jin will care about it. In their eyes, Zhou Zhongliang's only use value at that time was his heart to become an upward person.

But Jiang Jin never expected that the real person behind the scenes who promoted this matter back then was Peng Rong who was sitting in front of him. If Peng Rong didn't say this, he would probably not know about it in his life.

For a moment, Jiang Jin's expression was a little strange. He looked at Peng Rong intently and not only felt that he was moved. He had thought that Peng Rong was not simple before, but he never expected that Peng Rong would have such experiences. But now, Peng Rong directly revealed the matter before talking about the matter, which made Jiang Jin look at him with admiration.

In fact, if Peng Rong didn't say it, Jiang Jin wouldn't know about this, and even Zhu Yi wouldn't know about it in Chengdu. After all, Yuan Qi has been dead for several years, and this matter would have passed long ago. If it weren't for what the person involved said specifically, who could understand it?

But Peng Rong said it when he first met him. Jiang Jin was naturally clear about the purpose of his doing so. Peng Rong was an extremely smart person. It was better to tell such things than to hide them. On the one hand, it could show his sincerity, and on the other hand, it could also make Jiang Jin understand the value of Peng Rong. More importantly, once this kind of thing is concealed and then found out by Jinyiwei and others, it would be no harm to Peng Rong.

Of course, one thing involved is that Yuan Qi has a different identity. Although Yuan Qi is the leader of the rebel army, he is even more the so-called loyal and brave king of the Ming Dynasty. However, Jiang Jin, who started his career with Zhu Yicheng, knew the grievances between Zhu Yicheng and Yuan Qi.

Although news came when Yuan Qi died that year, Zhu Yicheng not only sighed and regretted in public, but also issued a special edict to make some explanations for Yuan Qi's aftermath. In fact, Zhu Yicheng felt relieved after Yuan Qi's death.

As the leader of the rebel army who first promoted the banner of righteousness and provoked the world, Yuan Qi had one or another problems, but his appeal in the world was extremely strong. Moreover, Yuan Qi was well-managed in Jiangxi at that time and had many elite troops under his command. If Yuan Qi continued to grow up, he might encounter another opponent in the Ming Dynasty, besides the Qing Dynasty.

Just like Gao Jin now, you should know that Gao Jin is just Yuan Qi's subordinate, and he only took over some of the remaining defeated generals left by Yuan Qi. But now Gao Jin's power is not weak, and he is still a warlord.

Yuan Qi's death was a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. Jiang Jin was very clear about this, and Peng Rong, who said all this, was naturally very clear about it.
