Qian Yuan was surprised.

Yan Shifan's villa, which is rumored to be richer than the national treasury, is not astonishing as it looks, and there is no luxury at all. Yan Shifan himself has a bright eyes. Although he is not tall, he is calm and moderate, and he cannot tell any arrogant spirit.

"Where is the time to show off your talent?" Yan Shifan stretched out his hand and pointed Qian Yuan, "I sent a post the day before yesterday, and I'm here today, why?"

Qian Yuan glanced at Yan Shifan and recognized only one person Zhao Wenhua, and said with a smile: "Mr. Meicun mentioned that Mr. Donglou has a bad temper... If there is no news yesterday, how dare Qian come to the door to commit rash?"

"Hahaha!" Yan Shifan laughed, "Your Majesty will not have Cao Bangfu, can you still choose the King of Governor?"

"Ninety-nine percent may not be accurate. Qian was timid and made Donglou Gong laugh."

"Tsk tsk, the Southeast Shilin praised the money exhibition to be honest, but I didn't expect to be so slick!" Yan Shifan laughed and scolded.

The others didn't hear anything, but Zhao Wenhua heard the cleverness hidden between these words.

Yan Shifan said it very clearly. Qian Yuan offended Xu Jie and Li Mo. Could it be that you, who are not here to lean on him?

Qian Yuan also made it clear that he really didn't have the courage to come to visit the door without Hu Zongxian's appointment as the Governor of Zhejiang.

In just a few short words, Qian Yuan cleverly flattered Yan Shifan's psychology, but left no handle.

Zhao Wenhua interrupted and said, "Zhancai's slipperyness is not resilient. Zhao has long experienced it in Hangzhou. But... just joke about me, when did you say that Brother Donglou has a bad temper!"

"Everyone in the capital knows my temper." Yan Shifan rolled his eyes and made a gesture, "Please, today's banquet is specially held for the exhibition."

Qian Yuan smiled and let everyone walk in front. Zhao Wenhua was the Minister of Works. Those who could walk side by side with him should not be ordinary officials.

After the group sat down, Yan Shifan introduced one by one that there were three people in addition to Zhao Wenhua today.

The one with a pale face and seemingly cautious appearance was Dong Fen, a Jinshi in Jiajing for 20 years and a Shuji scholar. Now he is the Youchunfang Youzhongyun and the Imperial College. This is the fastest and most orthodox Hanlin route in the Ming Dynasty.

The middle-aged scholar who laughed and talked with Yan Shifan was Tang Ruji, the top scholar in Jiajing for 29 years. He is still in the Hanlin Academy. However, his father Tang Long and Yan Song are old friends. Tang Ruji went in and out of Yan's mansion in the early years, and called each other "Brothers of the World" with Yan Shifan.

The person sitting at the lowest position was Bai Qichang. His fat round face always had a smile, and his eyes were only the size of a mung bean. It was really a good material for comedy movies in later generations. This person was also a second-class Jinshi in the 29th year of Jiajing, and was favored for betting on Yan Shifan.

Qian Yuan greeted each other and thought about it. Zhao Wenhua was his old friend, so it was natural to appear in such an occasion. The remaining three people were really interesting.

First of all, these three people are all orthodox Jinshi, and at least they are second-class Jinshi, but the three people play different roles in Yan Shifan's eyes.

If nothing unexpected happens, Dong Fen will soon be able to jump out of the Hanlin Academy as a minister-level official position in the six ministries, and become the core figure of the Yan Party and the scene characters. After all, like Ouyang Bijin and Zhao Wenhua are both quite old and have no promotion.

Bai Qichang is obviously just a jester, and now he is also a idle position. Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple has the lowest status, but he speaks the most and is very versatile in his words. This is a character who is active in the atmosphere.

What surprised Qian Yuan the most was Tang Ruji. Generally speaking, it takes nine years to pass the exam before he can get promoted or work part-time, but this person was able to give lectures to King Yu in April this year with his relationship with Yan Song and Yan Shifan.

Tang Ruji may be the most proud person in the Hanlin Academy today. The top scholar is not unusual. The key is that he is truly versatile, because his father Tang Long has a good relationship with Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet. When he was in the Ministry of Personnel, he repeatedly promoted Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet.

You should know that Tang Long has been dead for many years, so this rich political legacy naturally fell on Tang Ruji. Now he also serves as a lecturer to King Yu. Although he is not a lecturer in Prince Yu's Mansion, he will be considered a person in the secret residence in the future.

After sorting out in his heart in his spare time, Qian Yuan couldn't help but feel deeply envious and jealous. If he had such a start, he would have driven Gao Gong out of Prince Yu's Mansion long ago!

No matter how Yan Song or Yan Shifan was in trouble, one thing is certain, they are by no means fools, how could they not consider after Emperor Jiajing’s death... Tang Ruji is probably the one they chose.

Well, this is true in history, but unfortunately, Yan Song didn't consider it. After so many years of swallowing his anger, Xu Jie, who was still smiling after retiring, felt so resentful.

Under Xu Jie's command, all officials who had anything to do with Yan Song were taken down. Hu Zongxian lasted for a while. Tang Ruji was dismissed from office before Yan Shifan died, and finally got out of shame.

"Come on, come on, have another cup." Yan Shifan saw Qian Yuan feel a little restless and smiled and said, "Zhancai, can you still drink?"

Qian Yuan simply raised his neck and drank a full glass of wine. Bai Qichang, who was beside him, repeatedly applauded.

"Okay, okay, let's drink less." Yan Shifan smiled and pointed at Qian Yuan, "My cheeks were slightly red, Zhan Cai was drunk."

Qian Yuan bowed and smiled, "Brother Donglou stores fine wines, which is too mellow, and it is not as good as wine."

"It's okay, it's okay, just a little mouth." Yan Shifan said aloud and began to ask about everything in the southeast.

Qian Yuan felt extremely strange in his heart.

First of all, Yan Shifan's villa, known as the rich, is not luxurious. Although wine utensils, tea utensils, and ornaments are also considered exquisite, they are far less than what Qian Yuan saw at the Xiang family in Jiaxing a few years ago.

Secondly, Qian Yuan remembers it very clearly that in history, Yan Shifan once forced a small official to drink strong wine, and was then drunk by the Jinyiwei Shen Lianqiang. This is a short story recorded in history, but now it is very casual, and the few people next to him have no unexpected expressions.

However, Qian Yuan dared not believe in Ming History anymore. God knows that it is a bit true... Logically speaking, Yan Shifan was forced to drink wine and formed a grudge by Shen Lian, and then Shen Lian impeached him. Yan Shifan was demoted to Shen Lian outside the pass. Uh, it is very logical.

What surprised Qian Yuan the most was that Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Li Mo were not concerned about the power of the high-ranking positions, but Yan Shifan was very concerned about the war situation in the southeast. Such a contrast made Qian Yuan feel dislocation.

Yan Shifan was most concerned about two people, one was Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang, and the other was Wu Baipeng, the governor of Zhejiang.

Qian Yuan is familiar with the abilities and personalities of these two people. They tell the story as if they are familiar. Zhao Wenhua, who is beside him, listens carefully and adds a few words from time to time.

Yan Shifan was quite focused on hearing this, which was different from what Zhao Wenhua said before, but most of the differences lies in objective positions.

Qian Yuan was not panicked at all. You should know that although the Ming Dynasty was the most prominent dynasty in history with spy rule, it may also be the dynasty with the worst sense of confidentiality in history.

There are three reasons why Qian Yuan delayed his appointment. The first is to wait for the new Zhejiang Governor to be released, and the second is to contact Zhao Wenhua privately to ensure the consistency of the caliber.

Of course, Yan Shifan couldn't hear any big difference.

After talking for a while, Qian Yuan concluded: "Hu Ruzhen is indeed a commander-in-chief, Wu Weixi has a great victory in Yangzhou, and is calm and generous, so he will definitely cooperate with each other."

Yan Shifan glanced at Qian Yuan and smiled and said, "It is reported that Wu Baipeng and Zhan have a friendship?"

"This matter has spread throughout the southeast." Zhao Wenhua interrupted: "The two made an appointment in Suzhou. At that time, Tian Zhoulang soldier was trapped in Suzhou Prefecture. Wu Baipeng rushed to discuss, and Zhan happened to send his family to Hangzhou and go back to Songjiang Prefecture through Suzhou..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Wenhua's words came to an abrupt end. Let's talk about Nie Bao again.

Qian Yuan looked at Yan Shifan calmly and said with a smile: "My husband is so popular. Except for those who are not good at eyeballs, there are few enemies."

Yan Shifan laughed silently, yes, yes, you have a good reputation, and Xu Fan vomited three liters of blood when he heard this.

He took off the banquet and six people gathered around the table to drink tea and chat. Qian Yuan really didn't want to talk about anything else in the southeast, and was afraid that Yan Shifan would talk about the political struggle in the court, so he waved to someone to bring the specially made things.

This is the third reason why Qian Yuan delayed his appointment.

"Crazy..."
