Chapter 180 Letter

After Qian Yuan and his party arrived in She County, Qian Zheng discovered that compared with a few years ago, his nephew had earth-shaking changes.

Not only is he tall, dark skin, and strong body, but he is more in his casual manners in his words and deeds, and in his seemingly careless but thoughtful actions.

In a word, my nephew has grown up and is not following the traditional literati-doctoral route.

Although Qian Zheng also knew that Qian Yuan defended the city and fought against the Japanese in the past two years, so that he received praise from Duke Zhenchuan and Wen Hengshan, he could not imagine the connections he had gathered in the war against Japanese in the two years. This was a connection that made countless people jealous.

Qian Zheng was stunned by the development and changes of the incident. After several letters were sent out, Wu Baipeng patted his chest and promised that he and Yin Zhengmao had a good relationship.

Hu Zongxian did not reply, but directly sent his confidant Wang Yin and eldest son Hu Guiqi to Huizhou. The magistrates of the six counties bowed their heads. Even the Huizhou prefect, who had not yet revealed his head, couldn't help but look at Qian Zheng with surprise.

All the relevant cards were opened, and Qian Zheng officially started to convert the silk tax of the people into silver and was about to go to Nanjing in person. As a result, the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing issued a document, ordering Huizhou Prefecture to transfer the silk tax of the people into silver and pay it to the Zhejiang Governor's Office as military funds.

Qian Yuan sent a letter to Zhao Wenhua. The Governor's Office was promoting the formulation of the law to Nanzhili, Fujian, Shandong and other places. With the breakthrough of Huizhou Prefecture, although it was only 5,000 taels of silver to be converted into silver, Zhao Wenhua naturally accepted the gift with a smile.

It seemed that after that supper, I didn’t have to do anything... Qian Zheng felt a strong sense of loss.

"Uncle, the one-whip method is not that simple, and the promotion is even more difficult than that of the sky." Qian Yuan picked his teeth with a toothpick and said casually: "Now, Yan Fenyi, Xu Huating, who do you think has such courage?"

"Not necessarily." Gu Chengzhi had expectations for Xu Jie, "Ge Lao Xu has been suppressed by Yan Fenyi over the years. In a few years, he will be the first assistant. Naturally..."

"Absolutely!" Xu Wei sneered, "Look, by then, the first thing Xu Huating does is to settle old accounts, the second thing is to recall the officials who were dismissed by the Yan Party before, stick to their positions, and the third thing is to hold on to the incompleteness... Licorice Pavilion Master."

Qian Yuan glanced at Xu Wei with a slanted glance. This guy was sure to see that Xu Jie was indeed such a person. From a certain perspective, there was no essential difference between the dispute between Xu Jie and Yan Song and the future dispute between Xu Jie and Gao Gong.

In Xu Jie's view, Yan Song was a criminal who caused trouble to the world, but in Gao Gong's view, Xu Jie, who was inactive, was not much better than Yan Song.

Gu Chengzhi licked his lips and asked in a low voice: "Li Mo, Minister of Personnel?"

"It's even more impossible." Qian Yuan laughed and said, "Although the emperor does not follow the rules now, Li Shiyan was transferred to the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel and was promoted to the Heavenly Office of the Ministry of Personnel. Can he still enter the cabinet again?"

Qian Zheng couldn't help but turn his head to look at his nephew. The eight-legged essays were ordinary, and the things that were twisted around in the court were clear. The minister of the Ministry of Personnel was generally not allowed to be promoted to the Minister of Personnel, and the minister of the Ministry of Personnel was generally not allowed to enter the cabinet. For example, Xu Jie, Yan Song, Xia Yan, Lu Ben and others had never served as Tianguan in their resumes.

In recent years, Xu Jie was the only one who served as the Minister of Personnel in the Ministry of Personnel, but then he requested to retreat and served as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy to teach Shujishi, and later he was transferred to the Minister of Rites in charge of the Academy.

Qian Yuan once carefully studied Xu Jie's promotion route. This step is really as wonderful as the flying immortals from the sky. Generally speaking, after leaving the Hanlin Academy, he will not go back. At most, he will be a Hanlin scholar on the road to preaching for the prime minister and entering the cabinet.

However, Xu Jie was exiled from the capital in his early years in the Hanlin Academy, so he took a lot of effort to get back on the Hanlin Academy after returning to the capital. He also won praise from everyone for abandoning the position of the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

From this perspective, although Xu Jie once left Beijing to serve as a civilian official, he followed the unique route of prime minister in the Ming Dynasty.

From this aspect, we can see Xu Jie's scheming and his resilience to climb upward... You must know that his uncle has a grudge with Xu Jie, and he has a grudge with Xu Fan. Last year, he overestimated his ability and refused the Xu family's marriage test. How could Qian Yuan not study Xu Jie carefully?

This year's provincial examination, next year's commemorative examination, may enter Beijing even if it doesn't go well. There are letters from old friends in the court, and Qian Zheng may be transferred back to Beijing for work this year, and Qian Yuan will probably enter Beijing with his uncle.

Qian Yuan didn't want to show off his dew, but what happened last year... He also learned through Zhao Wenhua that the name Qian Yuan had long been known to everyone in the court.

Sighing and putting aside his worries for the time being, Qian Yuan turned his head and looked at Xu Wei, "Hey, when will you leave?"

"There are people who drive customers, so I'm really not particular!" Xu Wei took a sip of tea, "I haven't drunk enough Songluo tea before the Ming Dynasty."

Qian Yuan habitually spoke a few more words, and Qian Zheng and Gu Chengzhi, who were standing aside, had their eyes closed and they were tasting tea and listening to the two of them's confrontation.

This scene has happened too many times during this period. Two people either quote from classics or turn three turns... In the end, they always end with Qian Yuan speaking English or Xu Wei spewing Shaoxing dialect.

However, today, the two of them were unable to enjoy the fun, so Yang Wen sent a few letters outside.

"Hu Ruzhen attaches great importance to you." Xu Wei recognized at a glance that the letter above was sent by the Governor's Yamen.

Qian Yuan opened it and looked at it a few times, "It's hard to say, Brother Ruzhen values ​​you Xu Qingteng more, and is still asking you when you will go to Hangzhou."

"Does he care? He will have to go to Songmingshan for a few days."

"Brother Bo Yu seems to be from Songmingshan?"

"Wang Daokun? It has nothing to do with him, but it is said that he looked at you differently and wrote a poem to give it to you?"

"That's Brother Weixi's love."

Qian Zheng, who was standing beside him, listened to the titles of "Brother Ruzhen", "Brother Boyu", and "Brother Weixi", couldn't help but stroke his forehead and felt a little headache. They were all big shots.

I won’t talk about the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang. Even though Wang Daokun is now just a doctor in the Ministry of War Military Selection Department, his status in the literary world is not low, and his poetry and prose are spread all over the world. He has a very good relationship with Wang Shizhen and Li Panlong.

Xu Wei was still whispering there, but Qian Yuan was silent. Hu Zongxian was in trouble in Zhejiang. The letter said that there were more than two or three gentry who ran to Nanjing to file a lawsuit directly.

Yes, Hu Zongxian implemented the introduction of the law and listed wealthy businessmen as one of the first ones, which was a real draw of blood from the maritime businessmen.

In the eyes of the big players behind the maritime businessmen, Hu Zongxian is more hateful than Zhu Wan at that time. At least they are just making a spear, but the one named Hu is deceiving.

Qian Yuan thought for a moment and handed the letter to Xu Wei. The latter quickly read it and sneered: "It's really not that Governor who shrank his head."

Qian Yuan smiled. Yang Yi has been serving as the governor of Zhejiang Zhi for more than three months. Under Zhao Wenhua's oppression, he has become an empty scepter, but it seems that he doesn't care.

I have obtained the following letter, one is from the Wang family in the food garden, the other is from the Sun family in Shaoxing, and the other is from the capital.

After taking a look a few times, Qian Yuan's expression was a little sad, and he turned his head and stared at the flickering lights.

"Brother Yuan?" Gu Chengzhi asked in surprise.

"Uh, it's okay, it's okay." Qian Yuan handed over the letter, "With Brother Weixi, and Mr. Fengzhou came forward, so Yin Zhengmao's side was fine."

Wang Shizhen has a great status among ordinary officials, and although his father did not become the Grand Marshal, he was promoted to the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War. With him coming forward to make peace, Yin Zhengmao naturally had nothing to say.

But why did Qian Yuan's sad expression?

Qian Zheng took the letter and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh.

Just at the end of last month, Yang Jisheng, who had been imprisoned in the imperial prison, died of illness in prison. Yan Shifan forced the order not to collect the body and bury it.
