The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. This is probably Wei Changsheng's current mentality. He is willing to go home to avoid the current public opinion. His mother Wei Zhu also wants him to rest well and take care of his body. However, the Wei family has a filial son. The things that are willing to delay the future in order to serve his uncle spread throughout Jiangning. Then it is Jiangnan. He wants to recuperate at home, but many students who are waiting to announce their grades want to take this opportunity to make friends and submit books to the Wei family.

At first, Wei Changsheng refused to see him on the grounds of serving his uncle, but after Wei Cheng returned to the Wei family, he was not drugged. He could go to the ground in less than five days. Jiangnan Xuezheng also sent people to express condolences. He said that it was already very good when he went out. Wei Changsheng had no reason. When the nine sons of Jiangnan came to ask for a meeting together, Wei Changsheng could no longer make excuses and had to go out to deal with it.

Because of the changes in his youth, Wei Changsheng was criticized again. When he was young, Le Kesheng was not depressed, so he also took him by his side to travel around for his sake and developed a good eloquence. Although he was not as good as the Nine Sons of Jiangnan when discussing ancient Chinese classics, he discussed current affairs and people's livelihood and suffering. Wei Changsheng, who had seen and watched personally, said it was more vivid and interesting than them.

In the following time, Wei Changsheng dealt with many scholars, which was also the task given to him by Reikesheng. He took this opportunity to cultivate connections and touch the bottom of the nine sons of Jiangnan. He also prepared a lot of funds for him, which also made Wei Changsheng more generous.

According to the rules of the Jiangnan provincial examination, after the exam in August, the list will inevitably be released in September. However, the number of candidates this year has increased, but the number of examinees who have been reviewing the papers has not increased. In the past, each person reads 25 to 300, but now it has increased to 35 to 400. The main examination and deputy chief examination were both banned, and Lang Tsau took on the burden alone.

But as time went by, among the scholars, there began to be fraud in this imperial examination. First, there were rumors spread by word of mouth, then the newspapers copied privately, and then the newly printed newspapers on a large scale, saying that they had eyes and had eyes. Jiangning Mansion began to capture underground printing factories on a large scale, but they could not catch them.

But it is a fact that the chief examiner and the deputy examiner accept bribes. In Jiangbei, Jiangning accepted banquets and guests. These things were exposed. Man Bao and Xu Peiwen were still banned in the examination room, so they naturally could not come out to deny the rumors. However, there were many gentry and wealthy families involved. They could always find some clues and then magnify them. In this fraud storm, the nine sons of Jiangnan, led by Xu Wei, became a "rational faction". They advised students not to cause trouble, claiming whether to cheat in the imperial examination field or not, and just look at the osmanthus list. If all the bribes are rumored to be on the list, it is a fraud.

Yue Le, who was stationed in Jiangning, felt a little relieved when he heard the public opinion from the people below, and was even more proud. Fortunately, he had already forced the list from Man Bao and the others to eliminate the possibility of these people being on the list, otherwise he would really cause chaos.

Huai'an Prefecture.

Today, Huai'an Prefecture is annoying. Whether it is the newly collected autumn grain or the army that went north to serve the king, they gathered here. Although Shunzhi had already made plans to go south to Jiangnan, it was not made public in order to keep it confidential. Therefore, the army from Huguang, Sichuan, Guizhou and Jiangxi has arrived in an orderly manner. More than 40,000 troops were gathered, waiting for the main force of Prince An of Jiangnan to go north together.

The troops under Hong Chengchou, led by Pingxi Fan and Li Benshen, were stationed outside the city. In the tent of Pingxi Fan, there was a man who was sad. If you look closely, you will find that he was the Emperor Yongli of the Ming Dynasty. Yongli had been captured for two years and had been treated well by King Wu Sangui of Pingxi. Three months ago, he was secretly escorted out of Shu. He thought that his doomsday was coming and he was sent to the Qing court to be executed, but he did not show it to the public along the way. As the head coach, Wu Yingxiong also promised that he would never harm him. Yongli was still nervous.

"Why is it so difficult to live?" Yongli sighed.

"Your Majesty, who are you here?" Wu Yingxiong walked in from outside the tent, with a burly general and an old Taoist priest.

Yongli knew that no matter who came, he could not decide whether to see him or not. He adjusted his thoughts, but saw the old Taoist priest kneeling directly on the ground: "The criminal Qian Qianyi bowed to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live Qian's sect, "Yongli knew Qianli knew long live long live long live Qianli, "Yongli knew Qianli knew first, Qianli was the first to see the old man, Qianli was

Yongli couldn't believe it and asked: "But...but Mr. Muzhai?"

Although Yongli has never seen Qian Qianyi, he is familiar with it, and has a lot of origin. The minister and minister Qu Shisi, who was the most trusted minister of Yongli, was Qian Qianyi's apprentice. Since Yongli ascended the throne, Qian Qianyi has been contacting him and seeking anti-Qing several times in Jiangnan. His biggest move was to let the Western Army led by Li Dingguo join forces with Zheng Chenggong, who was fighting against the Qing Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, advance together east and west, and seize half of the south of the Yangtze River.

Qian Qianyi also knew that Yongli was suspicious, so he walked up, picked up the paper and pen on the desk, and wrote a paragraph of text. It was a secret letter to the emperor a few years ago. Yongli had seen it, and the content was exactly the same as the handwriting.

"It's really Mr. Muzhai!" Yongli burst into tears.

Qian Qianyi also cried bitterly. The two cried for a while, and Yongli asked, "How did you come here, sir?"

As he said that, Yongli quietly glanced at Wu Yingxiong, obviously because Qian Qianyi was captured by him. Qian Qianyi said: "It was Prince Wu and General Li who invited the empress to come to help the emperor to go to Nanjing, restore the country and the Ming Dynasty, and rule the world?"

"Go to Nanjing and ascend the throne?" Yongli, who thought he would die, was so shocked that he couldn't control himself when he heard this.

"Yes, the Chinese gentry and people all look forward to our emperor being able to raise their arms and let them rescue them from the water and fire situation." Qian Qianyi said.

Yongli calmed down and listened to Qian Qianyi's explanation to know that this plan had already appeared since he was in Yunnan. However, at that time, Qian Qianyi won over the three giants of Jin, Shu, and Qiongfan. Wu Sangui suddenly robbed Yongli, giving this plan a bright future. According to the plan, when the Eastern Federation and the Qing Dynasty fought to the decisive battle, Qian Qianyi was responsible for disrupting Jiangnan, making the gentry of Jiangnan and the Qing court disunited, and then let Yongli ascend the throne. Then, Jiangnan, Liangzhe, Jiangxi, Huguang, Sichuan and Guizhou provinces changed flags and changed flags at the same time, cut braids and changed clothes, and supported the orthodox Ming Dynasty. Then, while the Qing Dynasty was entangled in the main force of the United States army, he was looking for opportunities to get support from northern provinces.

After hearing this plan, Yongli was extremely excited, but calmed down and asked again: "Mr. Muzhai, how can the Dongfan area be located? Now the Dongfan troops are powerful, and it is probably not long-term to be enemies."

Qian Qianyi said: "My emperor is wise, and what he said is very true. The empress and Lord Hong and King Pingxi have discussed it. Even if it is successful, they should not be enemies with the Eastern Ban. Our Ming and the Eastern Ban are in the same spirit and branches, and have the same culture and race. For more than 20 years, we have fought against the Qing Dynasty and protected China. When our emperor was in the southwest, our emperor was the emperor of China and took overall charge of the overall situation. Li was the commander of the allied army and controlled the tiger, and each literature and military, which complemented each other. Moreover, our Zhu Ming royal family and the Eastern Ban Li family were originally in-laws, and our emperor's sister was the wife of the Li family. After anyway, we must work together to fight against the Qing Dynasty. When the mountains and rivers are stable and the world is peaceful, our emperor and Li family will share the world together and make a brother's country. Isn't it beautiful?"

Yongli thought to himself that this is not something that can be decided unilaterally, and it must be agreed by the other party. However, when he thought of not being an enemy of the United States, he felt relieved and asked, "Can you discuss such a plan with Li?"

Qian Qianyi's face darkened and said, "I didn't contact him, but when the major event is successful, my emperor will hold most of China and there are hundreds of thousands of tigers. If you contact him at that time, I'm not afraid that Li will not agree."

This is impossible to contact. The fundamental plan is that the United States will fight to death in front of the United States, and the group of traitors and lackeys will win the fruits of victory in the back of the country, and the fools will agree. Qian Qianyi and others have very clear ideas. They will kill first and then report. With strength, they are not afraid that the United States will disagree.

After listening to Qian Qianyi's words, Yongli thought about it carefully and then went away. What did it have to do with him? No matter where he is, Zhaoqing, Guizhou, Kunming, Chengdu or Nanjing, no matter who he is around him, he is a doll and can be controlled by others. Yongli said: "Everyone depends on you."

Wu Yingxiong smiled: "The emperor said this and trusted us. It's really great. The emperor will wait for the throne to ascend the throne. Mr. Muzhai, General Li, let's sit down and discuss how to take down Jiangnan first."

Li Benshen sat down and said with a smile: "I and the prince's army are ready. When the gentleman controls Jiangning, we will lead the army south to protect the emperor to ascend the throne."

Qian Qianyi looked a little embarrassed and said, "For Jiangning, I still need two people to help you and send troops in advance!"

"What is this? When you discussed with your father and Lord Hong, that's not what you said." Wu Yingxiong's happiness just now was gone.

According to the plan, Qian Qianyi wanted to seize Jiangning and make the gentry lose peace with the Qing court. At that time, King Pingxi and Hong Chengchou made another statement. In fact, they were just worried that Qian Qianyi would fail, but now Jiangning is still the same, but they need these two people to send troops, which means they have made a statement in advance. What should I do if it fails?

Qian Qianyi explained: "I had already convinced Jiangning General to control the surrounding areas of Jiangning anyway, but something went wrong earlier."

Everyone is familiar with this matter. The number of officers and soldiers under the jurisdiction of the General Jiangning was as high as 15,000. Convincing him to control Jiangning was like a lie. Of course, most of the troops are now in the Hangzhou camp, but the General Jiangning is still the most powerful general in Jiangnan. But that guy is a drunkard and robbed him. When collecting summer grain, he was captured by Yue Le. In order to ensure that the plan is not lost, Qian Qianyi had to order people to silence him. Now the General Jiangning has changed his personalities.

In fact, this is also the difficulty of Qian Qianyi's planning for this matter. The real power figure in the Qing Dynasty is now, seeing the emperor trapped in Shandong and unable to win for a long time. The Qing Dynasty is about to be defeated. Everyone wants to find a way out, but everyone is unwilling to be the first to stand out.

Li Benshen said: "Now both of us are in the king-supporting army. We are ordered to station in Huai'an, so we can't go south."

Qian Qianyi waved his hand: "I don't ask the two to go south to capture Jiangning, but I hope that the two will cooperate and capture the fake king Yuele of the Qing Dynasty first."

"How to capture?" Wu Yingxiong and Li Benshen looked at each other and knew that this time was a difficult situation. Now, the situation in Jiangnan was all about Yue Le, the pillar of the sky, and if they could be captured, they would have a great chance of victory.

Qian Qianyi walked up to the two of them and whispered a few words. After saying that, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

Jiangning.

Several doctors were sitting or standing beside Yue Le. Yue Le was lying on the bed, with a wet cloth covering his head and a pale face. The doctor was communicating, but Yue Le was already impatient: "You tell me the truth, is it smallpox?"

If you want to say what Manchus fear the most, it is naturally the smallpox. Since yesterday, Yue Le began to get fever all over his body. When he woke up this morning, he saw that there was a red spot on his arm, which was unbearable itching. When he thought that it might be smallpox, Yue Le was afraid and immediately asked the doctor to come.

Several doctors discussed it, and one of the older ones said, "Your Majesty, you have seen it all. It's not smallpox, but the hot and cold in autumn alternates, and it's common to have fever."

"But why do I have red dots on my body?" Yue Le asked.

"This...the red dot seems to be just an ordinary rash, it seems to be just an allergic." The doctor said.

"It seems that what I want is certain." Yue Le was very worried that something would go wrong at this critical moment and cursed.

The doctor was so scared that he knelt on the ground. A young man gritted his teeth and asked, "Prince, have you not taken a shower often these days?"

Several doctors lowered their hands and dared not speak, but said in their hearts that they still had to ask, their bodies were full of bad smells, and several people took their pulses one after another, and the sweat came into contact with their skin, and dirt was rubbed out.

Yue Le nodded. During this period, he had returned from Hangzhou and was busy with the autumn harvest, the provincial examination and the dispatch of troops. The responsibility of half of the Qing Dynasty was on his shoulders. He had not taken a bath for seven or eight days, and he had sweated a lot after running around.

"That's it. In autumn, the cold and cold are alternating. The prince is greedy for coolness, his body is unclean, and he is a little sensitive. Only then did the high fever bring rashes, not smallpox." The young doctor said seriously.

"That's good!" Yue Le let out a long sigh and asked someone to send the doctor out.

Thinking that the provincial examination will be released for a few days before the list will be released, and the autumn harvest is already halfway. Huguang and Sichuan soldiers have arrived in Huai'an. Yue Le thought that he could have a good rest for a few days. Just as he was about to have a sleep, he saw Gushan Ezhen Alkin coming in. Alkin looked extremely ugly, and he knelt on the ground and said, "Prince, something happened in Huai'an. Pingxi Fan and Huguang soldiers fought."

After hearing this, Yue Le quickly sat up: "How could this happen?"

Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui were particularly disagreeing in the past two years. First, because of military pay, and later because of the distribution of the number of troops to support the king, the two sent troops to support the king this time. The army of the Xifan passed through Huguang and robbed the village. They were also detained by Hong Chengchou. He killed several criminal soldiers to let go. Of course, Yue Le didn't know that these were all plays performed by two people, and it was Hong Chengchou who held the army to meet Yongli.

But after arriving in Huai'an, the two armies were very peaceful, so how could they fight?

"At first, the Huguang soldiers started to make trouble, saying that they had eaten moldy rice. Later, there was no one who spread rumors that they had paid for the military pay for the Xifan period for a year, and the Huguang soldiers only made up for half a year, and the two sides began to confront each other." Alkin said honestly.

After hearing this, Yue Le cursed: "Someone is secretly causing trouble!"

Alkin said: "I thought so too. Governor Fengyang sent me this morning and intercepted a letter from Qian Qianyi to Wu Yingxiong. Seeing that the prince was not feeling well, I did not submit it."

Yue Le took the letter and saw that it was a letter from Qian Qianyi angrily scolding Wu Yingxiong and his son for being hard-core slaves. Yue Le thought about it carefully and had a rough idea in his heart. It must have been Qian Qianyi's cause of the trouble, which made the two soldiers feel a rift, and even the Huguang soldiers had turned against each other.

"I have been in Jiangning for more than half a year, and it turns out that the signs are in Huai'an. Humph, Qian Qianyi, I can catch you." Yue Le suddenly looked very happy and said loudly.
