Chapter 34 Ambition

The small dining table was full, but at least half of the seven or eight plates were empty.

Zhang Juzheng caressed his fill and drinks himself, and couldn't help but glar at Zhang San who was serving him. The latter glared back without hesitation. Didn't you encourage him to put the last two peppers in the pot the day before yesterday?

After bringing the last plate of dishes, Qian Yuan wiped his hands and drove Zhang San out speechlessly, sat down and poured a cup of tea, "Brother Uncle, is it clear this time?"

"Hmph!" Zhang Juzheng smiled coldly, "It's said it's a chef for a month. How many times have you cooked these days?"

"You're so embarrassed to let a scholar be your cook." Qian Yuan smiled and looked dissatisfied.

However, Zhang Juzheng was a little embarrassed. No matter what, scholars have fame and fortune after all, and it is really rare to cook in this era.

However, Zhang Juzheng was very sarcastic, "Brother, you haven't tried the provincial examination yet. By then, this cooking skill will be of great use. It's really hard to bear!"

"Do you know the Master Shang Ge who won three yuan in a row? He was able to practice cooking skills before..."

"Puchi." Qian Yuan couldn't help laughing and waved his hands repeatedly, "I have never had any hobbies since I was a child, I like to cook. I don't have to worry about it."

Zhang Juzheng laughed, picked up the chopsticks and ate a few more bites, and drank the wine in the glass in one go. "Hangzhou is done, what are the plans for the next step?"

"Moving." Qian Yuan briefly said the subsequent anti-Japanese situation, "Songjiang, Suzhou must be the hardest hit area, and I am going to move my family to Hangzhou."

"No wonder I have set my sights on the Jin family's house." Zhang Juzheng muttered softly, and after a long silence, he asked again: "Do you dare to ask about your ambition?"

Qian Yuan held his chin with an indifferent expression on his face, and said, "You talk first."

It is obvious that Zhang Juzheng was already half drunk. He was originally a joke, but now he talked endlessly, from the current political struggle between the court and the Japanese riots in the southeast, from the lack of finance in the Ming Dynasty to the royal family...

In Qian Yuan's impression, Zhang Juzheng, who was known as the number one politician in the Ming Dynasty, should be a tough and serious scholar-official image. At most, it is said in history that he climbed into a dragon bed, took over a Western goddess, and finally died on a sea dog.

But Qian Yuan saw a young man who talked a lot of nonsense and was very greedy, and most of the time he seemed a little naive, but he didn't realize that he was thinking about flowers.

Although Zhang Juzheng has various limitations, for example, he said over and over again that the emperor was deceived by Yan Song, and unlike Qian Yuan, he dared to complain about Jiajing himself, his mind to serve the country is admirable.

Qian Yuan couldn't help but think of Hu Zongxian, who would soon make a debut in the Southeast. Although they all had an indelible dark side, they always yearned for light.

And their ending is not very good. "The sword buried the injustice, and the loyal soul surrounds the white clouds." Hu Zongxian could still die. After Zhang Juzheng's death, the female members of the Zhang family were forced to be naked...

"Zhang Juzheng." Qian Yuan murmured: "You will become an amazing person in the future."

Zhang Ju, who suddenly closed his mouth, was shaking on the chair and grinned: "Editor...there are more editors in the Hanlin Academy..."

Zhang Juzheng stretched out his index finger and pointed straight to Qian Yuan's left, "Look at you... His father and brother died tragically, went to Hangzhou alone, used clever tricks, and avenged revenge, which could be written into the book!"

Unlike in front of Wang Jun, Qian Yuan did not show a shy smile this time, but nodded and said, "I'm lucky this time, and I just took advantage of the situation."

"Luck? How could it be luck!"

"Take a job with the momentum? This is ability!"

"So, you will be an amazing person in the future!"

"Seventeen-year-old boy... People call me a prodigy... you are a prodigy." Zhang Juzheng shook his head and poured another glass of wine, "I'll wait for you in Beijing. Then we will do something big together... We want to support the country, we want..."

"Let's wait!"

Zhang Juzheng was stunned and smiled and said, "The head of the Songjiang Mansion... I dare not say that he is a Jinshi. It is a good idea to be named on the list of Jinshi."

It is indeed the head of the Songjiang Mansion case, but that wasn't what I did... Qian Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Have you heard of Xu Qingteng?"

"Xu Wei?" Zhang Juzheng blinked, "I know that he and Shen Lian are both the tenth sons of Yuezhong."

"Do you know how many times he went to the countryside for an exam?"

"have no idea."

Qian Yuan reached out and compared four times, "It has been four times. Last year, he was appreciated by the Grand Master, but he still failed to win the imperial examination."

In fact, Xu Wei, the unlucky man, failed the provincial examination eight times in his life.

Zhang Juzheng was silent for a moment and sneered, "Eight-legged essays pay attention to rules, while Xu Wen's long essays are so talented. Do you have that strong literary talent?"

Qian Yuan opened his mouth and said nothing. What he said was very reasonable, and I had no words to refute... There is really such a reason why Xu Wei couldn't win the exam.

Well, I have no literary talent, so I can pass the exam.

Opening his hazy drunken eyes, Zhang Juzheng carefully looked at the young man in front of him who was already familiar but actually very strange. The other party seemed to have no interest in the heavy righteousness that those scholars should have borne.

Well, while people in this era read the Four Books and Five Classics, their worldview and life outlook were shaped into shape. Although there were various differences later, there were not much difference at the beginning.

Qian Yuan...is a time traveler, and he pays attention to cost-effectiveness and enjoys life.

Sighing, Qian Yuan asked carefully: "You asked before... what ambitious do I have?"

Zhang Juzheng raised his glass and drank it all, staring at him without saying a word.

"Make your family safe, then take a look and stroll around more." Qian Yuan said slowly as if he was squeezed with toothpaste: "In the future, write a few travel notes, miscellaneous notes and other books."

"What are you looking at? Where to go?"

"You can't say that either." Qian Yuanqing couldn't help but lick her lips, "For example, Yangzhou Skinny Horse, Datong Rouge..."

Zhang Juzheng gritted his teeth secretly, "I'm so young, I'm just a pervert!"

Needless to say, the skinny horse in Yangzhou is also quite famous... In comparison, Qian Yuan is more interested in long legs.

"You can't just..." Zhang Juzheng took a breath and said calmly: "Young man is willing to spend the flowers, and his birthday will not last long."

"Of course not!" Qian Yuan was interested in telling out the things he had been thinking about in the past six months. "It is said that Yu Dayou has excellent martial arts skills and has played in Shaolin Temple... Well, he just came to provoke him!"

"Xu Wenchang is quite interesting. I am going to ask for a few paintings. Maybe it will be a priceless treasure in the future!"

"I like the "Linjiangxian" filled in by Mr. Sheng Yan. The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes..."

Zhang Ju listened expressionlessly, what the rolling Yangtze River flows eastward... I haven't heard of it at all. As for Yang Shen, I don't know if he is dead now.

The more he spoke, the more he became more interested, and Qian Yuan almost said that he wanted to watch the Qi family army... and witnessed the famous Mandarin duck formation.

The more Zhang Juzheng listened, the worse he felt. He knew very well that although he had an exam every three years and had two or three hundred people on the list at a time, in fact, more than half of them would not go to the office, or would return to his hometown and retire after a few years of office.

More than half of the people who stayed were nerds who were ignorant of the world. Very few people were truly scheming, capable, and capable.

In Zhang Juzheng's opinion, Qian Yuan was undoubtedly the kind of capable, capable, and young. Once he passed the Jinshi, he would definitely be the backbone of the court in the future.

But this person is thinking about Fenghua and Snowy Night... he is so angry!

After hearing this, he couldn't listen anymore, so Zhang Juzheng stood up suddenly, "You said you wanted to see the "Yongle Encyclopedia"?"

"Yes, when Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty ordered Daoyan and Xie Jin to compile the "Yongle Encyclopedia". It took six years and it was said that it had been packed with more than 10,000 volumes!" Qian Yuan was very excited, and the "Yongle Encyclopedia" was scattered in later generations, and the whole world only had hundreds of volumes.

Zhang Juzheng smiled, "I really want to see it?"

"Of course!" Qian Yuan asked in surprise: "Do you have a way?"

"No." Zhang Juzheng paused and said leisurely: "There is only one "Yongle Encyclopedia" in the world, without a copy. Now this set of books is stored in Wenyuan Pavilion."

"Wenyuan Pavilion?"

"The Grand Secretary in the court has Zhongji Hall, Jianji Hall, Wenhua Hall, Wuying Hall, Wenyuan Pavilion, and Dong Pavilion." Zhang Juzheng explained in detail: "You know if you named the Grand Secretary after Wenyuan Pavilion?"

Qian Yuan opened his mouth, "That is,..."
