Chapter 2 Crossing the River

This scene immediately attracted everyone's attention. Pingyuan's familiarity is from Jiaxing, but he lives in Jiangnan. He is quite familiar with the celebrities in Jiangnan. After the man was stunned, he opened his mouth, "I saw the old man Rushijun and Qian Qianyi in the car."

Rushijun is a respectful title to Liu Rushi. Liu Rushi's talent is also well-known in Jiangnan. Many talented people in Jiangnan are very envious, and Pingyuan's familiarity is no exception. It is said that he had asked Wang Mingran to recommend it on his behalf. However, Liu Rushi had a high vision and looked down on such ordinary people, so he naturally left it alone. But he didn't expect that today, he still missed this kind of person.

In contrast, Qian Qianyi's suffix of an old man formed a sharp contrast. I just don't know whether it is disdainful of his personality or whether Qian Qianyi can hold a beauty back.

"Brother Sima can see clearly?"

"There's absolutely no mistake!"

I have seen many scholars dressed up along the way, and those who know or not come to Nanjing to see Chen Wen. But what is Qian Qianyi’s identity? To put it nicely, the leader of the Southeast Wenzong, but to put it nicely, it’s because the water is too cold and the scalp is itchy, especially because he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty as the official Minister of Rites and the head of the Shilin. The impact caused can be said to be extremely bad.

"Why did that guy come to Nanjing for? Could it be that he still wants to ask the Prince of Kuaiji to ask for an official position?"

"Hmph, this is not sure. There is something shameless that he can't do. Maybe he even reports the dirty idea of ​​giving Liu Yin to the Kuaiji vassal."

"Would he be so difficult to say, but I heard that the princess is not a good match. Now the princess of Kuaiji is only one small county lord, and he still doesn't dare to take a concubine, so he must be afraid of his inner self. At that time, hehe, Qian Qianyi feels good. Even if the princess doesn't say anything, her brother is not easy to mess with."

"Yes, I think my emperor is the prince of Kuaiji, and his name is two kings. How powerful is he, he is even afraid of his inner self. It turns out that no one is perfect."

“…”

On the way, everyone started chatting, but Pingyuan didn't say anything. The gentry of the Ming Dynasty said whatever he wanted. Now that the Ming army recovered Jiangnan, it is inevitable that the solid state will be re-incarnated. However, he remembered that someone had hinted to him before that in the Jiangnan scholars, there was a big man who had always secretly supported the cause of anti-Qing. Could this person be Qian Qianyi?

Once this idea arose, he was really shocked. The water was too cold and his scalp was itchy and he could resist Qing Dynasty. It was indeed incredible, but if you think about it carefully, it seemed that Guizhuang had also spoken for Qian Qianyi...

Everyone was tugging around and quickly led the topic away. Pingyuan thought about it, but he didn't say anything for a long time. Instead, the familiarity of Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi first remembered that Momo followed behind and frowned.

"Nothing." Pingyuan shook his head and then replied: "I'm wondering if we should mourn the victims of the Tonghai Case martyrs first, and then enter the city."

"This is a good idea, loyal ministers and righteous men, so should."

This was indeed a good idea. Everyone echoed, and then went to ask passers-by first, and after confirming the location, they headed straight there. However, when they arrived, they saw not the tomb of the victims or the corpses of the blood sacrifice. Instead, the Ming army was supervising the workers to lay the foundation, and there were also a lot of bricks, tiles and wood piled up around it. It seemed that some building was to be built here.

"It's so good for the scholar to know that the king has ordered the Tonghai case to build a memorial temple for future generations to admire."

Hearing this, everyone nodded with relief: "The Prince of Kuaiji is intent, and the incense is endless, which is also a good thing that shows loyalty and righteousness and leads people to goodness."

……………………

What Pingyuan and his group saw was indeed Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi. Previously, Jiergalang and Ma Guozhu had a case of Tonghai in Daxing, Jiangnan. Qian Qianyi had become lurking due to the Tongzhe case that year. He performed such a long-term harmless human and animal life. The Qing government did not dare to easily attack this extremely influential leader of Wenzong.

The purpose of this Tonghai case is to attack Jiangnan's anti-Qing forces while providing food and wages to the army, and at the same time sending a large sum of money and food to the Qing court in case of emergencies. If Qian Qianyi alone scared those fences to rebel, it would be a little bit more worthwhile. After all, if this battle is won, Jiangnan will still be the most important place for the Qing Dynasty to make money.

Qian Qianyi was unsuspecting during the Tonghai case, but he did not dare to do anything at all, for fear of being targeted by Jirgalang and Ma Guozhu. It was not until the news of the resurrection of Nanjing that Qian Qianyi dared to come out of Hongdou Villa and came to see Chen Wen specifically.

The carriage was on the road in Nanjing. Although Ma Xin specially sent someone to escort it, whether he could be whitewashed depends on Chen Wen's decision. He is self-aware. Zheng Chenggong is his student. Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition was interpreted by many people as his work half a year ago, especially those who know the third game of the chessboard. Chen Wen would do the same. What he can count on now is nothing more than Chen Wen's support over the years, and that's all.

Compared to Qian Qianyi, Liu Rushi is more eager to try Chen Wen's legend. She has heard many people mention it, and Qian Qianyi is indispensable.

Such a hero is never a pleasure to meet. However, she soon discovered Qian Qianyi's unnaturalness and quickly comforted her: "Muzhai, Kuaiji vassal is not like an ungrateful person, otherwise he would not have sent people to rescue Wang Changshu. Even if Huang Lizhou set up a new mountain in Dalan Mountain, it is clear that he can provide reinforcements. Our Qian family, Xiangzan, never left behind, and the intelligence was sent to Jinhua in large quantities. There will always be an explanation."

"What Hedong Jun said is very true, so it should be."

Holding the hands of the beautiful woman who was only 37 years old in front of her, Qian Qianyi, who is now 73 years old and has white hair and beard, pretended to be content with a pleasing smile, but the uneasiness in her heart did not scatter too much.

After marrying into the Qian family for fifteen years, Qian Qianyi's thoughts were not hidden from Liu Rushi. At his seventies, the evaluation behind him was more important than before. The water was too cold and his scalp was itchy. He had already lost his reputation in the scholars. Many people think that he was literary but not virtuous. Even Gu Yanwu and his nephew Jin Shengtan looked down on him. Especially the latter, when he was on his birthday, he wrote a couplet of "a civil servant with a small face, a treacherous minister of the three dynasties" in public to scold him, which made him lose all his face.

Now that Jiangnan has arrived, the Qing Dynasty seems to be the tail of a rabbit, and it cannot grow. His years of hard work has not been in vain, but it still depends on Chen Wen's attitude when he can truly implement it. He is about to meet at this moment, and his worries are even more than before.

I don’t know how long the carriage has been, but Qian Qianyi’s body and mind have been exhausted, but he just held his heart in the carriage. After a long time, the carriage stopped and the voice of the coachman came, saying that he had arrived at Chen Wen’s headquarters.

Chen Wen's headquarters is the location of the former Jiangxi Governor's Office. Qian Qianyi has not been here before, but his mentality has long been very different.

The two got off the carriage and turned to look at the front. Qian Qianyi finally let go of his heart. Liu Rushi smiled at this moment, and then said to Qian Qianyi: "I said that Kuaiji Vanguard is not like an ungrateful person, you have been worried for so long."

Hearing Liu Rushi's teasing, Qian Qianyi also turned to laugh and said, "Hedong is aware of thousands of miles, and I am really worried." After that, Qian Qianyi hurriedly walked towards the gate of the headquarters.

At this moment, the middle gate of the pedestal was wide open, and a man with a python robe and jade belt was standing at the gate to welcome him. Seeing this, Qian Qianyi took two steps at once and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. However, the man came forward first and supported Qian Qianyi, who was a little unstable in his legs.

"The king is the prince of the state dynasty. He is so ashamed to welcome him."

"Mu Weng contributed a lot to the country in Jiangnan and made great contributions. What can you do not deserve? As for the king, I will avoid it. I call you, Mr. Mu, you call me Fu Ren, we are old friends, so don't have those red tape."

It was not someone else who supported Qian Qianyi, but Chen Wen. It was this answer that really scared Liu Rushi. She had finally settled for Qian Qianyi when she saw the middle gate open. As for the people who were waiting, the marquis and counts in the Ming army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there were many generals or generals. There were people who had to give them python robe and jade belts, but she never thought that it would be Chen Wen.

"That's the old man who is rude."

"You are always so polite."

With a smile, Chen Wen turned to Liu Rushi. He looked in his thirties, his clothes were well-tailored and his face looked a little monotonous, but it better set off his soft face and slim figure. However, in this softness, Chen Wen could still see that the beauty in front of him was a person who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and his inner strength was much stronger than her weak husband.

"I think this is Mrs. Qian who wrote that the battle in China is now being circulated and is worried under Tian Heng's tomb."

The poem is titled "Yue Wumu Temple", written in Yuewang Temple on the banks of West Lake in Hangzhou. Chen Wen remembers that in a movie, Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi had their first intersection there, but at that time, Liu Rushi was wearing men's clothing and was busy with classes, but Qian Qianyi didn't know that there was a talented woman in the room of scholars.

"It's my mother."

Without waiting for Qian Qianyi to introduce, Liu Rushi gave his own answer. Qian Qianyi is very fond of Liu Rushi on weekdays and doesn't care about these rude things.

"I heard of the great name for a long time, and it is well-known."

Nodding, Chen Wen didn't look much, but instead said to Qian Qianyi: "Wen Mu, people are still preparing for the banquet for the welcome. Let's go in, you can also take a shower and change your clothes and carefully take a closer look at the dust along the way."

"Everything is based on Fu Ren's arrangement."

Chen Wen pushed out all the things today. Now Chen Wen has recovered Jiangnan, and Qian Qianyi's role in intelligence and other aspects has plummeted. But Chen Wen is not the guy who is facing forward when he is employed and behind when he is not employed. Although he has never been very fond of Qian Qianyi's weakness, he has been risking his life for many years. Being grateful is the right way.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, the guests and hosts sat down. The dishes were carefully prepared in the kitchen. Chen Wen was an intern foodie back then. It didn't matter after the ups and downs of the years. There was no difference between the soldiers and the soldiers in the army. Only at home and in the headquarters, Zhou Yueying and the chefs in the headquarters would change their ways to arouse some of his desires.

Like Chen Wen, Qian Qianyi did not come here just to make a living. It is natural to reminisce about the past, and some things need Chen Wen to help him rehabilitate them.

"Don't worry, Mu Weng has worked hard to expel the Tartars with the help of Mrs. Qian over the years and has made great contributions. Not only are they in the lower house, but many people of lofty ideals have seen it. Although some are no longer there, more people have some understanding of it. For example, Mr. Lizhou, Mr. Wei from Huzhou, like editor-in-chief Lu, and Chen Buzheng, they all saw it with their own eyes. The report from Jiangnan is also in preparation. Mu Weng's deeds will never be destroyed in the long river of history."

Qian Qianyi is not a hero in the traditional sense. He is weak and even shameless. However, in the second half of his life, he was able to resolutely devote himself to the cause of anti-Qing, becoming the leader behind the scenes of the people in the southeast anti-Qing, and the actual contact person of the Ming army in the southeast and southwest of the Ming army in the southwest and the craftsman of the grand strategy. Although he could not erase the stain on his reduction of the Qing Dynasty, he was still a respectable person in general.

"Then I will have to do it, I am old, I am old..."

Holding the wine glass, Qian Qianyi was already crying. The long-cherished wish that had been fulfilled for many years was already the best for him. Even Liu Rushi was extremely excited and simply recommended himself, expressing his gratitude to Chen Wen.

Chen Wen was naturally flattered when he had the opportunity to see Liu Rushi's performance. Liu Rushi's singing was probably a song praising Chen Wen. Chen Wen has heard a lot of such songs. The school in Nanjing has also produced some of them these days and has received a good response from the audience. However, compared to Liu Rushi, he always lacks a sense of expectation. Now it is a pleasure to be able to complete it. However, Chen Wen has more important things to do than appreciate the talent of this famous prostitute who is well-known in later generations.

"Mu Weng's achievements are prepared to write memorials and seek commendation and commendation from the emperor. In addition, I plan to recommend Mu Weng to the pavilion, but I don't know what Mu Weng's intention is?"

Hearing this, Qian Qianyi naturally understood that Chen Wen needed to have his own person in the cabinet. Although the civil servants he had brought were all good, they were all scholars and scholars after all, although the national dynasty had fallen into this state, there were few ministers and scholars who entered the cabinet, but it was still a bit incredible that Qian Qianyi personally had a great influence in the Shilin area, and Chen Wen also needed such a person to be his representative in the court to influence government.

When Chen Wen asked this question, Qian Qianyi naturally agreed. At the banquet, the guests and hosts were happy, and Qian Qianyi got what he had dreamed of, and there were two at the same time. Chen Wen was fortunate to see Liu Rushi playing and singing a song. Although he looked a little unfamiliar, the shocking feeling still touched him a lot.

A few days later, a special day was selected. Chen Wen, a general of the Ming army in Nanjing, led by the Ming Dynasty, Jiangxi, and the gentry headed by Qian Qianyi to worship Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty's Emperor Taizu, behind the Xiangdian Hall.

"...Your Majesty expels the Tartars, restores China, and restores the old land of the Han family, so that the world can restore the dignity of Han officials, so that Chinese civilization will not be destroyed by the slaughter of the Yuan Dynasty."

"I am the general of the generals of the waterways in Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, etc., and specially granted python jade to act cheaply. They are sealed with generals of the attack on the enemy, left governor of the Left Army, Taibao and Prince Taibao, and Prince Chen Wen of Kuaiji. Now, the chief chief of the captain Heshuo Zheng, Jier Harang, and Prince of Heshuo'an Yue Lezhi as a sacrifice. I hope your majesty will protect our Jiangsu and Zhejiang Kings Division as soon as possible to wipe out Jiannu and restore the Han family's territory!"

The executioner stepped forward, and the sword flashed, Jirhalang's head fell to the ground, and then it was placed on the altar, along with Yue Le's already shriveled head.
