The guards holding a knife and gun were erected on both sides, and the Governor's yamen opened the middle door. Hu Zongxian, who had a slightly weak figure, walked out, followed by seven or eight officials and staff.

"Shen Cai." Hu Zongxian walked down the steps and walked straight to Qian Yuan and reached out to support him, "You and I met each other in a good mood, why did you and I meet again with this gift?"

Qian Yuan could only give him a grateful look. After all, he is now the pillar of the southeast, the governor of Zhejiang, with half of the Jiangnan palm. Even Yan Song, Yan Shifan was quite polite to him. It is not a fact that Yan Shifan and Zhao Wenhua were sought bribes in history books.

This is the southeast, not Kyoto. Although Qian Yuan is in the imperial heart, and although he goes to and from Prince Yu's mansion, he doesn't need to be afraid of Hu Zongxian, but he gets along like he did back then... that's a water in his mind.

At this time, a disgusting ghost on the side said, "Three days ago, the Governor inspected Shaoxing and immediately returned to Hangzhou after hearing the news."

Qian Yuan could only thank him again, and even choked in his throat, "Governor General's kindness..."

Yang Wen and Wang Yi looked at each other later... Young Master, in your own words, I have acted!

If Qian Yuan could hear his subordinate's mind, he would complain, "Don't you think I want to act like this!"

People have made a clear statement. The governor of Zhejiang, who is in charge of the troops of the six provinces, returns to Hangzhou just to welcome you. Are you still not grateful?

Even the shop is about to be mentioned, this is a stepping stone for Hu Zongxian. Sure enough, this guy laughed and pressed Qian Yuan's shoulder, "By talking about military strategy and military merits, we can afford to be a talented person!"

After a long time of greeting at the door and introducing each other, everyone entered the mansion one after another. The guy who interrupted was Luo Longwen, who was indeed an annoying person.

Zheng Ruozeng, Wang Yin, Shen Mingchen, Mao Kun, and He Xinyin went out of the city to greet each other, on the one hand, because Hu Zongxian, and on the other hand, because three of them were old friends of Qian Yuan, which also shows that they were not interested in Luo Longwen.

On the other hand, Luo Longwen was very close to Hu Zongxian among the ranks, which proves that the latter was quite tolerant of him.

Qian Yuan had never asked Luo Longwen in front of Yan Shifan. Zhao Wenhua said that this person was in Beijing in the 31st year of Jiajing. Because of his calligraphy, he was appreciated by Yan Song and was appointed as the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat.

Now it seems that Luo Longwen should be the bridge of communication between Yan Song, Yan Shifan and Hu Zongxian.

It's ridiculous to think about it. Luo Longwen was the Yan Party and the aide to Hu Zongxian, a famous anti-Japanese official, but in the end he was killed with Yan Shifan for the crime of communicating with the Japanese.

Qian Yuan of the Governor's Office had never been there before, and he occupied a wide area, but was not luxurious. Some people in the capital had accused Hu Zongxian of intercepting taxes and enjoying them at home, but Xu Wei privately said that Hu Zongxian was a powerful man. Although he was not honest, he did not regard wealth as his life. The Governor's Office did not even have gardens that were often found in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Hu Zongxian could not go out to greet him in person, but when he entered the mansion, he held a banquet to greet Qian Yuan, and even ordered his eldest son Hu Guiqi and his second son Hu Songqi to pour wine.

But on the front table, Luo Longwen, who had no fame, no credit, and no fame, could only sit around the corner. He watched Qian Yuan raise his glass to greet everyone, either kind, laughing, or sighing, and couldn't help but think in his heart that this guy's connections in the southeast are really not covered!

Of course, most of the people attending today were Qian Yuan's old acquaintances. In addition to the few people who went out to meet with Lu Bin, there were also Zhong Nan, the leader of the wolf clay soldier stationed in Hangzhou, Lu Tong, the deputy general of Zhejiang Province, Wu Baipeng, the deputy general of Wusong, Dong Bangzheng, the deputy general of Suzhou, the Dao of the Dao of the Suzhou Army, and Tang Kekuan, the general of the Western Zhejiang Province, all of which were the mainstays of the anti-Japanese war in various parts of the southeast.

Even among his staff, there was also a Huizhou native Guan Maoguang. Last year, Japanese pirates attacked Huizhou, so this man stepped forward and led the village heroes to pursue Yang Wen to Wuhu.

General Yu Dayou, general of Wusong, who had the most contact with Qian Yuan, and Qi Jiguang, general of Ning Shaotai, were unable to come because of military affairs, but the former sent his teacher Li Liangqin, while the latter threw his younger brother Qi Jimei over.

In other words, when Qian Yuan went south, almost half of the Southeast officialdom was supported by him.

Luo Longwen thought in his mind that the top figures included were the governor of Yingtian, Cao Bangfu, Zhejiang Governor Ruan E and Zhejiang General Liu Xian did not send anyone. The first two were recommended by Li Mo, and it was reasonable not to come. The latter could hardly find any sense of existence in the war situation in the southeast, and it didn't matter whether they came or not... Well, in fact, Ruan E didn't have any sense of existence either.

With such a big show, someone might be trembling, but Qian Yuan was calm and chatting and laughing with everyone without any restrictions.

Looking at Lu Bin and Qi Jimei's envious eyes, Qian Yuan raised his glass and signaled to drink it all. There was nothing to envy.

Everything that happened last year had already spread throughout the Southeast officialdom. Who wouldn't know that Li Mo was powerful at that time, Yan Song and Xu Jie all shrank. Li Mo wanted to kill all the Yan Party. The first foreign minister to be defeated was Hu Zongxian, who was then the governor of Zhejiang.

It was precisely because Qian Yuan was summoned to the capital to meet the saint that Cao Bangfu was rejected on the second day, and Hu Zongxian was appointed as the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang on the third day. There was also news in the capital that Qian Yuanjian was in the emperor's heart.

This is obvious. Qian Yuan tried his best to protect Hu Zongxian in front of His Majesty and pushed him to the throne of the Governor of Zhejiang.

After all, Hu Zongxian is just paying back the interest of favors today.

"Zhan had only passed the imperial examination a few months ago, and I knew Zhan had only gone south ten days ago." The old man sitting on the left of Hu Zongxian raised his glass and said, "Shan had become famous in the southeast a few years ago. This time, I hope Zhan can help and eliminate the Japanese pirates as soon as possible."

This old man is Wen Zhengming, the only remaining four great talents in Jiangnan. After Qian Yuan Jiading and Chongde wars, Wen Zhengming praised Qian Yuan and wrote the inscription for the road to Chongde.

Although Wen Zhengming was already old and unable to bear official duties, Hu Zongxian visited many times and finally invited Wen Zhengming to come out, not because of his ability, but because of his fame. Shen Mingchen and Mao Kun were willing to enter the temple and had the merits of Wen Zhengming's persuasion.

Qian Yuan did not dare to be negligent, so he attended the ceremony, raised his glass and drank it all, and said with a smile, "Hengshan Gong praised it, I am afraid..."

Listening to Qian Yuan’s series of words, whether they dared not behave or praised the literary master, Wang Yinchao Hu Zongxian shrugged and handed over a look of "I knew it would be like this for a long time."

Speaking of which, Hu Zongxian is a bit similar to Qian Yuan in some aspects. They are both pragmatists. For purposes, they sometimes do not take the right path and take other shortcuts. They are both scheming and a typical realist. However, Hu Zongxian is not very lucky, so he can only choose Yan Song.

Qian Yuan smiled continuously when he returned to the table, and Hu Songqi poured another glass of wine with his glass in his hand.

Qian Yuan raised his glass and said, "I am grateful to you for your first return to the southeast. I have been wrongly loved by you. I am very grateful to you. I thank you with this wine and wish you all the Japanese pirates in the near future and will be a peaceful world again."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all in one go.

Qian Yuan put down his wine glass, looked around, and looked at Hu Zongxian with a smile.

In fact, the guests who attended today surprised Qian Yuan, such as Zhong Nan, Lu Tong and Wu Baipeng's attendance, were still as expected by Qian Yuan, but Wang Chonggu, Tang Kekuan and Qian Yuan were not very familiar with each other, and Dong Bangzheng was stationed on Chongming Island, not close to each other... This must be made Qian Yuan think more.

Is it necessary to be a Hanlin Academy Shujishi who went south to visit relatives?

Of course not.

Is it necessary to be a new Jinshi in order to marry Jane Zai, a marriage with Xu's mansion, and a friendship with Yan Shifan?

To be honest, this necessity is not high.

But in order to be able to enter and exit the Yu Prince's Mansion at will, it is obviously necessary to leave it to the next emperor's important Jinshi.

To be precise, Hu Zongxian needs Qian Yuan very much.

As the saying goes, be prepared for danger in times of peace, Hu Zongxian is now in power, and it is inevitable that he will think of a way out when the night is late. After all, Yan Song is old, and Yan Shifan has no chance of becoming the Great Nine Ministers without going through the imperial examination, let alone becoming the prime minister.

Once Yan Song dies or retires, the disintegration of the Yan Party will be inevitable. What will Hu Zongxian do then?

After a long period of thinking, Hu Zongxian could only choose two ways, one was Emperor Jiajing and the other was King Yu.

But bypassing Yan Song, Yan Shifan went to please Emperor Jiajing, and thought about it with his heels and knew that this was a taboo. Therefore, King Yu became Hu Zongxian's only choice, and this choice could not be expressed.

The chief officials of the foreign army colluded with the emperor's eldest son, which was even more taboo than bypassing Yan Song to curry favor with Emperor Jiajing. Therefore, Qian Yuan became Hu Zongxian's only choice.

But I'm sorry, Qian Yuan doesn't plan to get into this muddy water.
