Chapter 441 Donglin Lianzuo Town

The literati in the south of the Yangtze River pretended to be romantic, and there were not a few people who went to brothels to paint boats. They were not ashamed, but they were proud of being able to have something to do with the famous prostitutes on the Qinhuai River, and they were happy to become people's talking points.

Qian Qianyi was in his sixties, half buried in the ground, and he never tired of this matter.

At this time, he and several others were all dressed as scribes, and boarded a painting boat, and the painting boat left the river slowly. After a while, there was music and laughter in the painting boat.

In the painting boat, Yingying and Yanyan played lyrics and sang songs, while Qian Qianyi and several guests from Wuchang were sitting in the private seat.

In fact, Qian Qianyi was so old that he couldn't play anymore. He hadn't come to Qinhuai for a long time. He came here today mainly to accompany and receive the guests from Wuchang.

This is the ethos of Jiangnan, no matter how big or small, everyone likes to talk about it in Qinlou and Huafang.

At this moment, Qian Qianyi was chatting with several people on the painting boat, when a small boat leaned against the painting boat.

A handsome and heroic young man dressed in a brocade robe, leather belt, jade pendant around his waist, and a jade crown on his head suddenly walked in, saluted Qian Qianyi and said, "Teacher, I met Mr. Da Zun."

Chen Zilong's official position is not high, but he has a great reputation in Shilin. He is also a member of the Jiangnan Socialist Party, but he is not in the same way as Qian Qianyi.

"How did you meet him?" Qian Qianyi frowned slightly: "Has he come up yet?"

The young man made a bow and replied: "Mr. Da Zun knows that the teacher is on the boat, and he is ready to board."

Chen Zilong is also a big man in the Shilin, and he has come here, so Qian Qianyi can't see him, "Then invite brother Maozhong to come in!"

After speaking, he looked at the person sitting next to him, "Brother Zhonglin, let's talk about that later, how about playing a game of chess first?"

The person next to him is Huang Shu, a native of Huizhou in Nanzhili. He is now the inspector of Hubei and the supervisor of Zuo Liangyu. He is an important figure among the Donglin party members.

Huang Shu is a smart person. Hearing Qian Qianyi's words, he knew that Chen Zilong was not one of his own.

"Okay! It's what I wish for, and I just want to learn how to play chess with Mr. Mu Zhai." Huang Shu laughed.

Not long after, the young man brought Chen Zilong in, but there was another person behind him, Wang Shicong.

At this time, Qian Qianyi had already started to play chess with Huang Shu. He caught a glimpse of someone behind Chen Zilong, and the other people hurriedly lowered their heads and listened to each other. Qian Qianyi's face became even more indifferent.

Chen Zilong and Wang Shicong came in and could only salute. After Qian Qianyi saw Wang Shicong, he felt a little displeased. He just nodded to signal the two to sit down, and asked while sitting down, "Brother Maozhong, what's the matter today?"

"Mu Zhaigong, today I mainly bring a good friend to see you!" Chen Zilong could feel Qian Qianyi's indifference, and felt a little unhappy.Scholars are thin-skinned, with this attitude, if it weren't for Wang Shicong, he would have left in a hurry.

Wang Shicong then got up and said: "Mr. Muzhai, my lord, Wang Shicong, whose name is Kunyu, used to be a military officer, and is now a staff member of the Korean shogunate. This time I came to Nanjing to express my feelings to the imperial court. , Mr. Mu Zhai is a minister of the court, why are you not in a hurry?"

"Feng! Take chess!" Qian Qianyi landed a piece and killed a piece of white chess. His face was full of joy, as if he didn't listen to Wang Shicong's words at all.

Wang Shicong stood silently, blushing a little.

Huang Shu picked up a white piece and dropped it without thinking.

Qian Qianyi smiled, "Officer!"

He dropped a piece, and Huang Shu on the other side also smiled, threw a chess piece in his hand into the flag box, and then began to collect the chess pieces on the board.

Only then did Qian Qianyi turn around and ask, "Kunyu, what did you just say?"

"The captives from the east are going south, and the Ming Dynasty is at stake! I hope that Lord Mu Zhai can continue to support the imperial court in sending troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty." Wang Shicong no longer expressed hope in his heart, but he still said.

"Hehe~" Qian Qianyi sneered, "Kunyu, you are alarmist. Even if the Eastern Captives go south, there are four Jiangbei towns to support them, so what is there to be afraid of?"

As he said that, he turned his face hard, "Hehe~ Besides, it is up to the imperial court to decide whether to send troops or not. Kunyu came to me, but she found the wrong person. I am just a minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, and I am not a person who forms a party for private interests. How can I influence the court situation? Manipulate the government."

As he spoke, he packed up the chess pieces, ready to play another game.

If Gao Yihuan was here, he might roll up his sleeves and beat this old guy to death, but although Wang Shicong was angry in his heart, he didn't want to tear his face at this time.

Qian Qianyi made it clear that he didn't want to help. Seeing that he had issued an order to evict the guest in disguise, Chen Zilong was thin-skinned and couldn't stay any longer. He stood up, cupped his hands, and pulled Wang Shicong away.

Seeing this, Qian Qianyi smiled and said, "Hehe~ Damu, you two are a gift."

After he saw the two go out, he put the chess pieces into the box. Huang Shu's chess game stinks to death, not even [-]% of Hedong Jun's level, which made him uninterested and didn't intend to continue playing.

Naturally, Huang Shu didn't really want to play chess with Qian Qianyi, so he hurriedly waved for someone to take the chessboard away.

At this time Qian Qianyi said: "Brother Zhonglin, the treacherous ministers in the court are in power and deceive the saints. We and the party members should clean up the traitors for Your Majesty and restore the Ming Dynasty to a bright and bright world."

Huang Shu nodded, "If you have any thoughts on Mr. Mu Zhai, you might as well just say it. I will follow the lead of Mr. Mu Zhai."

Qian Qianyi nodded in satisfaction, "The eunuchs are powerful in the court, and the fundamental reason is that Your Majesty is afraid of the army in the hands of the eunuchs. The reason our party members are so passive in the court is because we don't have an army in our hands."

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Huang Shu, and said earnestly: "Zhong Lin, you are now the supervisor of Zuozhen. This is a good opportunity for us party members. You must persuade Zuo Zhen to stand by our party members. what!"

The two were talking, and Zheng Sen, who had gone out to see someone off, came back. He looked disappointed and stood aside silently for a while, but in the end he couldn't hold it back, and suddenly asked directly with his fists clasped, "Mr. , the Ming Dynasty is at stake, why is the teacher unwilling to help them?"

Fujian General Zheng Zhilong is the overlord of the East China Sea and the South China Sea. He has mastered the commercial routes of navigation, and all merchant ships going to Japan and Southeast Asia must fly the banner of the Zheng family.

In the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong controlled the channels, and the southeast gentry controlled the source of goods and was responsible for the production of various commodities. There was a lot of cooperation between the two parties, so when Zheng Zhilong sent Zheng Sen over to accept him as his disciple, Qian Qianyi did not Refused, and paid more attention to Zheng Sen.

Qian Qianyi was talking to Huang Shu, and when he heard Zheng Sen's question, he lowered his face and said, "Who said Donglu wanted to march south? This is because Gao Jingzhong offended Donglu before, and Donglu's retaliation was not aimed at me, Ming Dynasty." The northern mission sent by the imperial court is negotiating peace with Donglu, how can Donglu invade south at this time?"

Zheng Sen said: "But can Donglu believe it? What if they really invaded the south?"

Qian Qianyi's face was stern, he dared to question the teacher, he was a little unhappy, "So what about the real southern invasion? There are four towns in Jiangbei and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Could it be that it can't be arranged?"

Zheng Sen is still young, only in his twenties, at the age when he is jealous of evil. When he heard Qian Qianyi's words, he always felt that something was wrong, but he was not easy to refute, and his face turned red for a while.

Seeing this, Qian Qianyi sighed, and slowed down his tone, "Damu, you remember, Gao Jingzhong is Zhu Quanzhong of my Ming Dynasty, this person cannot be kept. Now it happens to be eradicated by Donglu, and Donglu is gone. It’s not a bad thing for us to see him, or both losers. In this matter, we are sitting on the fence, you know? As for Donglu’s true breach of trust and invasion of the south, there are also troops from Ma Shiying and Gao Mingheng to resist, so you don’t have to Be anxious. What I, Donglin, must do right now is to take advantage of this opportunity to increase our strength, and only when we regain the power of the imperial court and eliminate traitors can we realize the revival of the Ming Dynasty."
