Chapter 323 The water is too cold
After a very sincere words, Qian Qianyi expressed his intentions, and then Qian Qianyi said: "I heard that King Xia defeated the Tartars, and I couldn't help myself. I drank with my like-minded friends for a day and hurried to Jinhua."
Zheng Xiang made a statement of scrubbing his ears.
Then Qian Qianyi said, "The great power of King Xia is in the north and has not yet touched the south of the Yangtze River. However, King Xia will definitely sweep the world and unify the country. However, the former ministers of the former dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River were mostly those who were not transformed and did not know how to adapt. The people of this generation colluded with each other and wanted to fight against King Xia and split the country. I wish I could not hold a sword to kill him, but unfortunately I was weak and unable to do anything. Such villains could not pacify the enemy, and my literature could not safeguard the country, but they were cruel and difficult to bear. If they use the natural danger of the Yangtze River to block King Xia, what is the people in Jiangnan?"
Zheng Xiang couldn't help but show his deep understanding and said, "What Mr. Muzhai said is very true. King Xia swept across the north of the Yangtze River, pacified bandits, eliminated bandits, and used good crops to farm, encourage business, and allowed the people to live and work in peace and contentment. The taxes were extremely light, and there was no corvee service. This is the Lord of the Blue Sky!"
"Why isn't it?!" Qian Qianyi sighed: "The south of the Yangtze River seems to be prosperous, but the land annexation is serious, and the great tyrants exploit it layer by layer, which makes the people suffer more. If the King of Xia arrives one day earlier, the people will suffer less. I and some like-minded friends are determined to welcome the King of Xia. As soon as the King of Xia arrives, I will respond."
Then he said seriously: "However, those who are treacherous in their hearts are very cautious. In order to prevent the leak of news, I dare not send people to Jiangbei, so I have to quietly come here while the night is dark. I have a letter here, and I also ask my father-in-law to deliver it to Jiangbei as soon as possible. It would be best if it can be delivered to Yunzhi. Do not be strict in this matter and must not be leaked, otherwise I will not care about the disaster of killing, but it will ruin the major affairs of King Xia and block the expectations of the people in Jiangnan. That is a great crime!"
He took out a thick letter from his arms cautiously and handed it to Zheng Xiang with great care: "The hearts of benevolent people and aspiring people in Jiangnan are here. My father-in-law, don't be disappointed in the patriots!"
Zheng Xiang took the letter carefully, held it in his hand, and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Mr. Muzhai, the old man promises that there will be no mistakes in this matter. The letter will be delivered to Jiangbei as soon as possible. Mr. Muzhai is waiting for the good news."
Qian Qianyi smiled and stood up: "I'm relieved so much. It's not convenient to stay here for a long time, so I'm farewell."
Zheng Xiang hurriedly said, "The little old man sent Mr. Muzhai."
Zheng Xiang sent Qian Qianyi outside the door and watched Qian Qianyi's ordinary carriage disappear into the darkness. He closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Zheng Xiang hid the letter in his arms, went to the backyard to take a pigeon from the cage, wrote a note of paper and put it in a bamboo tube, tied it to the pigeon's legs, and then released the pigeon.
Two hours later, it was midnight, a figure outside the backyard wall flipped in very quickly, and got to Zheng Xiang's bedroom outside the bedroom and knocked it lightly eleven times.
With a creaking sound, the door opened, Zheng Xiang let the person in and closed the door.
"Mr. Xiang is carrying a pigeon late at night, I wonder what an urgent matter is?"
Under the light, the man showed a young face.
Zheng Xiang said: "Xiao Liu, there is indeed a big deal here."
Then he took out the letter and said, "Qian Qianyi came to the night and said a lot of nonsense. He gave this letter to Lao I for delivery to Jiangbei. This person is famous in his literary style and is quite famous in Jiangnan. I dare not neglect you, so I will immediately call you."
Xiao Liuyi suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Qian Qianyi. This person is indeed quite famous, especially in the literary world. The news of the king's defeat of the thief has swept across the north and south, and there are undercurrents in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River. Qian Qianyi must have some plans. Like him, many people have quietly sent letters to Jiangbei these days, and it is probably the same."
Zheng Xiang smiled and said, "The house is crowded these days, so I can naturally understand it. The Ming court has been destroyed, and these old ministers cannot make trouble and are looking for a way out."
"Then this letter..." Xiao Liu asked.
Zheng Xiang said: "What should I do? Whether this letter is important or not, you and I should not come to the district. Just send the letter to Jiangbei early, so don't think about anything else."
Xiao Liu nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, this letter will come to Jiangbei before dawn."
"Yes." Zheng Xiang nodded, handed the letter to Xiaoliu, and said, "Jiangnan must be uneasy these days. You must keep a close eye on it and not make any mistakes."
Xiao Liu put away the letter, turned around and left: "I won't be on a business trip."
...
Qian Qianyi is a smart person, but there are many smart people in the world. The methods used are different.
After leaving Zheng's ancestral home, Qian Qianyi sat in the carriage and sighed slightly.
He has a great reputation and is also a leader of the Donglin Party. But now he is quite cramped and even has life worries.
When he was still in the capital, he failed to compete for power with others and offended others. Now he fell into the hands of others, fearing revenge. That person was Ruan Dacheng.
Qian Qianyi is famous, but has no power. What about Ruan Dacheng? Now he is the Minister of War of Yingtian, the main figure of the King of Fengfu Zhu Yousong, and he is extremely powerful. And these days, Ruan Dacheng has been cleaning up the Donglin Party members among Yingtian's old ministers. This makes Qian Qianyi feel as if he is shining.
He had to flatter Ruan Dacheng and praise Ruan Dacheng's stinky feet just to survive.
However, the news from the north opened a door for Qian Qianyi. Ruan Dacheng was extremely powerful? When King Xia and Ying Yi's army arrived, what would he do? The grasshoppers in autumn could not jump for a few days!
If he could hold King Xia Yingyi's thigh at this time and wait for the new dynasty to be established, wouldn't he be so happy? Maybe he could even get an official position!
He did not dare to send people to Jiangbei, for fear that Ruan Dacheng would find out and directly sent people to kill him. So he left Yingtian on the pretext of visiting his friends and came to Jinhua quietly.
When visiting Zheng's ancestral home, he had already settled in a quiet courtyard in Jinhua City. His beloved concubine, Liu Rushi, was also accompanied by.
Qian Qianyi favored Liu Rushi very much. One is that Liu Rushi is as beautiful as a flower, and the other is that Liu Rushi has poetry and books in her belly, and the two have common language. This time he secretly came to Jinhua, but he took Liu Rushi without taking any of them.
Of course, he did not hide the fact that he went to visit Zheng's house, but it was another statement - Liu Rushi knew that he was visiting Zheng's house and asked him why he wanted to go, but he only said that Zheng was a thief and was ruthless.
Liu Rushi is a literary young woman, which is probably very ideal. Moreover, she usually comes into contact with scholars and students from Jiangnan. Therefore, she does not know what the so-called traitor or the so-called Xia Wang Yingyi is. She only knows that she is a traitor.
Qian Qianyi then told her with righteousness that she would pass a message to Zheng as a leader in the literary world, scold Zheng for following the thief, and advised him not to make mistakes, and that he should turn back and forth.
