Chapter 12 The Governor's Yamen (Part 2)

In the small study, Wang Jun, who seemed to be gloomy in his face forever, drooped his eyes, and Zhang Juzheng, opposite him, looked a little nervous.

This is normal. Although it is considered as a prime minister after entering the Hanlin Academy, the promotion in the early stage is very slow, far inferior to those of the second-level or even the third-level Jinshi.

Wang Jun was a Jinshi of the 20th year of Jiajing, only six years earlier than Zhang Juzheng. However, he is now a rank-level official and has an important position. As for Zhang Juzheng... There are many ordinary editors in the Hanlin Academy, and there are many people who cannot afford to eat meat. The status of the two is very different.

"So, I have decided to go back to Beijing, but have the arrangements been made?"

"Let's leave for Beijing next month." Zhang Juzheng said respectfully: "If you don't have any accidents, you'll still go back to Hanlin Academy."

Wang Jun nodded, picked up the teacup and took a few sips, and began to talk to Zhang Juzheng about the current situation in Zhejiang. The staff member who was standing by was interrupted from time to time to add a few words.

Since we talked about the situation in Zhejiang, it was impossible not to talk about the hottest topic. The Japanese riots, just six days ago, another group of Japanese pirates robbed a soldier in Haiyan County, killing more than 80 officers, soldiers and people, and even two live-action members died.

So Qian Yuan, who was sitting silently in the corner of the study, his face gradually became gloomy and his eyes were full of anger.

After being invited to the governor's yamen, Qian Yuan repeatedly calculated that he felt that the plan he had planned before could be made small changes, but if it was to be modified, it would have to be related to the Zhejiang governor in front of him.

In other words, Qian Yuan needed to pull the tiger skin into a big banner, which was also the reason why he played at the yamen before.

As early as when Qian Yuan was sent to the propaganda office to do odd jobs by his leader in his previous life, he understood one thing: everyone is a chess piece, and even if the chess player is inevitably reduced to a chess piece in another chess board.

Since it is a chess piece, you must be the most important piece. If you cannot reflect your value, it may not be a chess piece but an abandoned piece.

Therefore, making yourself more useful is the direction of Qian Yuan's efforts.

Therefore, when chatting with Wang Shizhen, Qian Yuan would hype up the poems of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and ancient poems of the Han and Wei dynasties.

Because this is the core concept of the "Last Seven Sons".

Therefore, while chatting with Zhang Juzheng, Qian Yuan turned his mind to keep silent about poetry and discussed the court's finances and taxes carefully.

Because Qian Yuan knew what Zhang Juzheng had done in the second half of his life.

Today, if you want to show your presence in this study, Qian Yuan must know what Wang Jun wants to do and what he wants.

Fortunately, Qian Yuan is a time traveler.

The other three in the study soon noticed Qian Yuan, with red faces, angry eyes, and slightly trembling bodies...

"Mr. Qian?" Yukishi asked in confusion.

Qian Yuan suddenly woke up, tried hard to calm down, and smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for the fact that there were still mothers and young girls at home, I really wanted to be recruited..."

In the Ming Dynasty, civil and military affairs are clearly divided, and the status of literati is high. As for military officers... Just look at Lu Tong, Yu Dayou, and Tang Kekuan's experience in the past few years, they have all been demoted and imprisoned.

"The head of the case joined the army..." Haoshi said with a laugh and cry: "I heard from the eldest son that your father and brother were both lost to the hands of Japanese pirates, but they still put career first. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years."

Zhang Juzheng sighed: "The Japanese pirates' rebellion is really shocking, but the situation has improved after Lord Zhongcheng took office. I believe that quelling the Japanese turmoil is just around the corner."

Just around the corner?

Qian Yuan rolled his eyes in his heart. The real large-scale Japanese riot started from this Zhongcheng!

Although he didn't agree, Qian Yuan still wanted to continue acting. He only saw him blushing and roaring in a low voice: "But Zhoushan Ligang..."

"Cough cough!" Yukishi interrupted Qian Yuan's words with a strong cough, and turned his head to glance at Wang Jun.

Wang Qian raised his eyebrows with a smile, "I heard from Yuanmei that your father and brother are also going to Zhoushan Ligang to trade?"

Qian Yuan was stunned, and after a while, he bowed and said, "That's true. Merchants rarely do not have any connection with maritime merchants along the coast of Zhejiang and even in Susong."

Wang Jun nodded and turned to a topic that surprised Qian Yuan, "Your uncle Qian Zheng is a Jinshi in the 14th year of Jiajing. Does he have an old friend with Sun Jiquan?"

Qian Yuan's eyes were confused. Sun Jiquan, who is this?

How come my performance ended before it officially kicked off?!

Fortunately, he whispered: "Sun Sheng, whose courtesy name is Zhigao and his nickname is Ji Quan, was the second-in-command in the 14th year of Jiajing. He was appointed as the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel. More than a month ago, his mother returned to his hometown to mourn her mother."

How could he have so many names for the ancient Mao people... Qian Yuan's heart moved, but his face still looked confused, "Uncle didn't mention it."

Xushi turned his head and looked at Wang Jun and continued, "You have seen it at Suzhou Pier more than a month ago..."

"Oh oh..." Qian Yuan suddenly realized, "It's that official ship!"

"Remember it." Yukishi smiled and said, "You reminded the pedal to break and saved his elder brother, but unfortunately he died of illness later."

Zhang Juzheng, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but ask, "Are they the three filial sons back then?"

"Yes, during the rebellion of King Ning, Sun Sui died under the knife. The three sons of the Sun family knocked on the earth and called the sky. The five internal parts were split and they were not born with thieves. The world respected three filial sons." Wang Jun sighed: "In the 17th year of Jiajing, I went to Beijing to take the exam and failed. Brother Zhigao took good care of me. Now he lost his mother and brother within a few months, but I have no skills..."

Although Qian Yuan was confused when he heard it, he keenly realized that the governor in front of him was not as sad as he said.

"Although Dongweng is unable to do anything, he can ask the second son to worship him." Haoshi's eyes fell on Qian Yuan, "Young Master Qian has an old friend with the Sun family, and the elders are the same year. Can you accompany the second son to go with you?"

"Is this... suitable?" Qian Yuan's mouth twitched. Just because his elder was Sun Sheng in the same year and he saved the Sun family, he asked him to accompany him?

What a genius believes!

Qian Yuan immediately made a judgment, and there must be something inside that he didn't know. I'm going to use my favor as a slaughter!

But Qian Yuan also knew very well that it would be absolutely impossible not to agree. From another perspective, this is the value of his small chess piece.

"No problem." Qian Yuan responded, but then hesitated: "But we should send more people to go with us. There are often small Japanese riots in Shaoxing. The younger generation is worried about the safety of the second young master."

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Qian." Yukishi breathed a sigh of relief, "The followers and all the offerings are ready. They will set off in three days and the waterway will lead directly to Yuyao, Shaoxing."

In fact, Qian Yuan’s guess was correct. After returning to Shaoxing to bury his dead mother, the Sun family and his group met a small group of Japanese pirates when they left the city to pay homage to the temple on Qingming Festival. Sun Sheng’s elder brother Sun Kan was very old and sick. He was frightened and suffered from wind and cold. He couldn’t afford to get sick. He lasted for more than a month and finally passed away.

The three filial sons were famous all over the world. Sun Sheng Ding You was the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel before, with a high position and a powerful position. Sun Kan himself was also the top scholar in martial arts and served as the assistant general of the commander of the Jinyiwei. The key is that he and Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, were very close friends.

As the governor of Zhejiang, Wang Jun died of a small group of Japanese pirates. This made him not worry about his future career. Not to mention the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, even the commander of the Jinyiwei was far from able to bear it.

In desperation, Wang Jun occasionally heard from the Sun family that Qian Yuan had helped Sun Sui, and heard from the staff that Qian Yuan had a friendship with his son Wang Shizhen, so he wanted Qian Yuan to try to resolve the possible resentment of the Sun family.

After the matter was settled, the four of them left the study room. Xushi smiled and said, "Dongweng, don't let people say that the Taicang Wang family is reluctant to give up a supper. Let Mr. Qian and Zhang Hanlin eat before leaving."

Xushi smiled and talked about the scene that happened at the yamen before. Qian Yuan smiled bitterly and bowed repeatedly. Wang Qiang couldn't help but smile and waved his hand to show the meal.
