Five hundred and twentieth chapters tongue as sharp as a knife
On the second day of the Shangyu victory, Xu Hai fled out of the sea. Hu Zongxian and Qian Yuan parted in the usurpation town for more than a month. They had been going back and forth with open and secret arrows, and in the end, Qian Yuan was still better at his skills. In addition, Wang Zhi sent Xu Hai's head to the right time, so Hu Zongxian was forced to choose to plead.
Since Hu Zongxian was determined to seek comfort, he was not hesitant. If he did anything, he would have to be underestimated.
Of course, the more important reason is that Qian Yuan showed his strength in the court, or his influence on Emperor Jiajing. In this case, Hu Zongxian was unwilling to completely break up with Qian Yuan.
Therefore, although Wang Zhi's huge fleet was entrenched in Zhoushan, Hu Zongxian still held a banquet to welcome Qian Yuan.
During the meal, Qian Yuan chatted and laughed, smiling happily, and could speak to everyone. He was respectful and polite to Tang Shunzhi, laughed and scolded Wuji at Qi Jiguang, and hugged Zhong Nan.
There were also many local famous scholars from Ningbo Prefecture. Shen Mingchen, who was from Ningbo, introduced them one by one. Finally, he pointed to the young man behind him and smiled: "The little guy at home admires Zhan Cai quite much, so I beg him to take him to see him."
"Yin County student Chen Yiguan paid a visit to Senior Qian."
Qian Yuan frowned slightly. Another celebrity, who had been in charge of the government for more than ten years during the Wanli period, but historical books did not give him a high evaluation.
This young man was twenty-four and five years old, with short limbs and short head, but his eyes were bright and his face looked quite strong, which was in line with Qian Yuan's impression. Chen Yiguan had a very stiff fight with Zhang Juzheng in the early days of Wanli and was idle for a long time.
"My friends are so polite, and I'm just talking about each other in my old age." Qian Yuan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Juzhang's origins in the family, and I believe that good news will spread again and again next year."
"I'll try the provincial examination next year and see his luck." Shen Mingchen waved his hand and said, "I will take care of you in the future."
"I will go straight to Suiyuan in the next year." Qian Yuan immediately followed.
Shen Mingchen and Shen Yiguan both looked slightly moved. Now Suiyuan is famous all over the world and has a strong attraction to scholars from Songjiang and Zhejiang.
On the one hand, the enviable success rate of the scientific examination in Suiyuan. On the other hand, the scholars in Suiyuan are all from Songjiang and Zhejiang, and their fellow villagers are grouped together, which is the first choice for most officials who are just starting their career.
Unfortunately, Qian Yuan didn't know much. Chen Yiguan didn't pass the Jinshi exam until the second year of Longqing, and he was still the same Jinshi who was about to fall to the end of the third grade.
The banquet had ended, and Qian Yuan chatted with Lu Bin and Hou Jigao who came over. The war took place in Shaoxing Prefecture. Lu Bin was quite worried about this. He had wanted to atone for his father for his military merits.
"All Xiangshan is cleaned up?"
"Well, the Changguowei stationed on Xiangshan." Lu Bin nodded and said, "In addition, Taizhou commander Ge Hao stationed in Juexi Station on Xiangshan."
"That's good. If you encounter a Japanese pirate attack, you will be hit head-on, but you must not go out to pursue me. You will wait for news later."
Qian Yuan gave a few words, and chatted with Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou. Many generals stood up to say goodbye. In addition to the staff of the Governor's Office, only Taizhou magistrate Tan Lun, co-magistrate Tang Shunzhi, and Zhejiang magistrate Wu Baipeng.
When the side hall was sitting, the servant poured tea in. Hu Zongxian pointed at Qian Yuan and said with a smile: "Zhancai was greedy for Longjing in the Ming Dynasty."
"You're not going to blame Brother Ruzhen." Qian Yuan said with a smile: "Over the years, I have been drinking Longjing in Mingqian. Last year, my uncle scolded me in Beijing. Even Huizhou Songluo Tea is difficult to enter the stomach. As a result, I have lost food in the past two months..."
Tang Shunzhi, who knew Qian Yuan very well, couldn't help but curl his lips slightly. After so many years, he was still sharp-tongued... This is to say that you, Hu Zongxian, have been respectful for so many years, and now you have to turn your back on others.
Looking around, Qian Yuan smiled and said, "All the kings will be rewarded by the great victory in Shangyu. After the reunion and pacification work, the Japanese riots in the southeast will be quelled. There will be a heavy reward in the court. Brother Ruzhen will be promoted to the position of the title."
Hu Zongxian's face remained unchanged and he felt relieved. These words were obvious. He was saying that the credit for placing Wang Zhi was from you, Hu Zongxian, and I, Qian Yuan, was not interested.
"No, no!" Qian Yuan pretended to be in trouble and tightened his eyebrows and said, "Brother Ruzhen is now the Governor of Zhejiang Zhi, and has been given the title of Minister of War, and has returned to the court... to enter the cabinet..."
Hu Zongxian closed his mouth tightly. He was from the Three-League and Jinshi, so it was absolutely impossible to enter the cabinet. Not to mention anything else, he was famous for his military merits and could never enter the cabinet. When King Yu ascended the throne, he would cling to Yan Song, and there was no hope.
After coughing twice, Qian Yuan smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid there is a lot of hope to enter the cabinet... I can get involved in the Grand Sima."
"But Yang Wei promised to be the Grand Sima now, and the Ministry of War is in chaos. Yang Wei promised... not yet to leave the filial piety period."
In the past two years, the six ministries have had the most intense struggles. The Ministry of War. Yang Bo has returned to his hometown to mourn, and he can use his means to drive away his successor Xu Lun and Wang Jun, and rob the Minister of War again.
Yang Bo has many tricks, and Hu Zongxian really has no confidence in fighting with Yang Bo... The key is to wait until the Japanese turmoil is completely quelled and return to the country by himself, Yan Song will be eighty!
Everyone else in the hall was quiet and watched Qian Yuan performing expressionlessly... Tsk tsk, it's been more than a month, and Qian Yuan's anger will always come out, right?
What has been discussed long ago, Hu Zongxian, you, think that the credit is small, will turn your back on your face!
If you don’t give you a stick, I’m afraid you will be blind in the future!
"There is a great hope of winning the title. I have been awarded the title by civil officials. This dynasty has the rules of Wang Weining and Yangming Gong, and Brother Ruzhen is expected to follow him."
Although no one has ever been involved, Qian Yuan is quite talkative and continues to talk: "Wang Weining attacked Weininghai and was granted the title of Weining Bo. Yangming Duke established the army of Poning King in Nanchang, and was granted the title of Xinjian Bo, Brother Ruzhen... Shangyu Bo... It sounds not very nice."
"But the title of title is often named after the hometown, Longchuan Bo... This is much more satisfying."
"What do you think Brother Ruzhen?"
The hall was silent. Qian Yuan picked up the teacup as if nothing had happened and took a sip, "It's really good tea."
It sounds like good things, but except for some people here, most of them are quick-minded people, and they can't hear Piri Yangqiu in this sentence.
Not to mention the others, Qian Yuan said that Wang Weining was Wang Yue and Yangming Gong was Wang Shouren. Both of them were awarded titles for their military merits, but their fate was not very good.
Wang Yue joined the eunuch Wang Zhi, and after he was granted the title, he still participated in the government affairs. Later, Wang Zhi fell and Wang Yue was removed from the list.
Wang Shouren was not much better. Although his knowledge of his heart was spread throughout the world, after his death, Emperor Jiajing deprived him of his title.
In other words, there are no two titles of Weining Bo and Xinjian Bo... It was not until Emperor Jiajing passed away and the revival of Xinjian Bo and Wang Shouren's eldest son Wang Zhengyi Chengjue was restored during the Longqing period.
Hu Zongxian put down the teacup with a wry smile and sighed: "I heard that Zhan Cai was as sharp as a knife, sharp as a sharp person, and it is hard to stop him. I will try it today and I will not deceive you."
"At the time of retrieval, there is a quarrel." Although Tang Shunzhi looked like an old farmer and was thin, he said loudly: "Don't care about major issues, you Qian Zhancai came today, just to get a quarrel?"
Among all the people present, except for the staff of the Governor's Office, Tang Shunzhi had the lowest official position, the least power, but the reputation... was the highest.
Hu Zongxian coughed twice and called Jiang Zhou. Qian Yuan stopped saying those mean words. He asked in detail about the scale of Wang Zhi's fleet, the distribution of power in the maritime business, the number of bird guns, iron cannons and other details.
After a while, Hu Zongxian said softly: "Zhancai, Wang Wufeng intends to discuss the pleading matter at Shuangyu or Ligang."
Shuangyu and Ligang are not on the main island of Zhoushan. The former is close to Xiangshan Port, and the latter is not far from the entrance of Zhenhai.
"Ligang." Qian Yuan quickly made a choice, "I ordered Ge Hao to lead the navy to the north, Wusong Beishan Gong led the navy to be on guard, and then ordered Qi Jiguang's troops to board the ship. Brother Ruzhen and Qian took a hundred guards to take advantage of it."
"The Qian family guards are in the southeast and are safe."
"Taizhou commander Ge Hao is good at naval battles, just be separated from the main island and Ligang."
"Show talent, the court..." Mao Kun hesitated. Choosing in Ligang means talking about opening a sea ban on trade. The censor in the court must impeach, and Mao Kun was cheated by the censor in the past and was dismissed from his official position.
Qian Yuan stood up and said solemnly: "How can the lords in the court know the southeast? Only a thousand days of thieves are the ones who are thieves. How can they guard against thieves for thousands of days?"
