The Qianqing Palace under the sunset is a little more solemn and solemn.

This is the residence of the emperors of the former Ming Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty followed the Ming system and also made some changes, rebuilt the Qianqing Palace, the court affairs are no longer the royal door to listen to the government, the daily court affairs but changed in the Qianqing Palace.

Since Emperor Guangyuan, this is the emperor's residence and court office, and the emperor will basically choose this place to meet foreign ministers.

"Zhang Qing, what do you say Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen are going to do?" Gujing Wubo's voice came from the end of the hall, there were only a few people in the entire hall, and there were only two real protagonists.

"Back to Your Majesty, in the humble opinion of the minister, the dispute between the north and the south of Shilin is a practice that began to continue in the former Song Dynasty, from the former Ming Dynasty to the Great Zhou, this atmosphere has not changed, its essence is that the southern Shilin literary style has overwhelmed the northern land where the Beijing division is located, so that the inner superiority of the northern scholars has felt the impact, the reason is that the minister thinks that the northern land is still affected by the war on the nine sides, and the people's livelihood is withered, so that the children of ordinary people in the local area are far less easy to study than in the southern provinces,......"

Zhang Jingqiu stood on the east side, his body was tall and thin, his eyes were as bright as diamonds, his thin lips were short beards, and his slightly high cheekbones showed that this person was not so easy to deal with.

"I'm not asking this, I'm asking them what they're going to do at this time?" Yonglong Emperor Zhang Shen was a little displeased.

Zhang Jingqiu was unmoved, "I'm afraid that the original intention was not what Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen thought, and the invitation to Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi to go north to give lectures should have been issued a year or two ago, but these two people have only delayed their trip until now, which is the key." ”

"Oh, you're saying that Zhu Mu and the two have a plan?" Emperor Yonglong was not surprised by this.

"The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, Your Majesty, who doesn't have his own ideas?" Zhang Jingqiu smiled bitterly, "It's just that these two people don't mean that the two of them, Jiangnan Shilin, Nanjing Liubu, and even some people are probably a little quiet." ”

"Then Zhang Qing, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?" Emperor Yonglong smiled silently.

"Woe, blessing depends, blessing, misfortune, Your Majesty, for you, you just need to calm down and not give others a chance to take advantage of it, and you can win." Zhang Jingqiu comforted.

"But Zhang Qing knows that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, this grand event has touched the hearts of countless people, and the entire Great Zhou Shilin is looking forward to it, and even the ministers in the court are also talking about it, and they don't even have much thought about court affairs." After a pause, Emperor Yonglong said again: "There are also people with impure motives and ill-intentioned ,......."

A sentence of impure motives made Zhang Jingqiu understand what the emperor meant.

This is a problem, but Zhang Jingqiu doesn't think it's a big problem, but the emperor is very worried, or he takes it very seriously.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, such tricks are difficult to achieve, if the Great Zhou Shilin is so easily swayed, then wouldn't it become a joke for the Great Zhou Dynasty to raise the righteous wind for a hundred years?" Zhang Jingqiu shook his head again and again.

"Zhang Qing must not be careless, some people are very good at fox and fake tiger power, and ......" Emperor Yonglong pondered for a while, as if he was considering his words, and only said after a while: "I don't know what my father is thinking at this time,......

Zhang Jingqiu's face suddenly became cautious after being stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty hasn't gone to Ningshou Palace to say hello for the past few days?" ”

"How can I not go?" Emperor Yonglong smiled self-deprecatingly, "But my father didn't mention it, and I didn't ask much. ”

Zhang Jingqiu frowned slightly and then quickly unfolded, "That's the case, it's simple, since the Emperor doesn't ask, then Your Majesty can also do what you want, the imperial court is also very concerned about this kind of Shilin event, let the Ministry of Rites send people, it is best for the left and right attendants of the Ministry of Rites to personally ask and care, this kind of upright and upright act, can represent the imperial court,......"

Emperor Yonglong's eyes lit up.

Zhang Jingqiu woke him up with a word, since his father didn't ask, it means that some people may not really mean something, but play it without authorization.

"Zhang Qing, the Shilin Festival is just that, but I always feel that there are still some unspeakable things here, do you know Qi Yongtai?" This is the question that Emperor Yonglong wants to ask.

"What does Your Majesty want to ask?" Zhang Jingqiu said calmly: "In the past few years, the minister has not dealt much with Qi Yongtai, he lives in Qingtan Academy, and when he served in the court before, the minister was in Nanjing, but ......."

"But what, Zhang Qing said, don't worry about anything." Emperor Yonglong was extremely concerned about this.

"This person is a subject earlier than the minister, and as soon as he entered the Hanlin, he was quite valued by the emperor, but later, for various reasons, he dismissed the official, reinstated, and resigned again,......" Zhang Jingqiu was also considering his words, "This person has a tough personality, is very organized, and has a stubborn spirit that will not give up until the goal is achieved, but he is not the kind of pedantic person who does not know how to change,......"

It is rare to get such a comment from Zhang Jingqiu's mouth.

Emperor Yonglong knew that his henchman had always been harsh in evaluating people, and he rarely praised him, but it was really rare to be able to comment on Qi Yongtai like this.

"Since this person is quite valued by his father, why did he have many quarrels with his father later?" Emperor Yonglong asked seemingly casually.

Zhang Jingqiu was stunned, he didn't believe that the emperor would not know about these situations.

Although this is also what has happened in the past ten years, the reasons are also very complicated, and even for many years, for many reasons, I also said that Qi Yongtai is not the kind of person who does not know how to be flexible, but why did Qi Yongtai resign categorically?

After the crown prince was deposed, the kings seized the heir, but the emperor no longer established the prince, but finally abruptly passed the throne to the one in front of him.

Just ask yourself at this time, and it is obvious that there are some other meanings.

"Your Majesty, this is a long story, and it is not a day or two or one thing or two things on the discord, some of the ministers and Qi Yongtai used by the Emperor probably have different views on some issues, and finally the Emperor supported some ministers and officials of the six ministries, Qi Yongtai was a little disappointed, and the specific problems involved are also very wide, involving the nine-sided opening of China and France, the military tun, and the strategy of the Tatars, well, and sea trade, there are too many, this contradiction has accumulated too much, and in the end it may only be the result of the resignation of one party,... …”

Zhang Jingqiu was still working in Nanjing back then, and he knew some about these situations, some were not clear, and of course he did not say anything more important.

That is, Qi Yongtai is resolutely opposed to the abolition of the crown prince, even after the prince was deposed, Qi Yongtai also believes that the prince should be reinstated, as for the only reason, that is, it is beneficial to the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He didn't know if the person in front of him still had a grudge against this matter, if Qi Yongtai and his comrades insisted on success, maybe there would be no such thing, and it would be Prince Yizhong who would sit on the throne.

Emperor Yonglong looked thoughtfully at this left squire of the military department, the current secretary of the military department, Xiao Daheng, is not worth relying on, but the right squire prince Teng is his father's person, and now how to balance this situation, he has not considered it thoroughly.

Zhang Jingqiu's opinion is very pertinent, calm down, and he can't act rashly now.

The more the eldest brother can afford to dance, the more stable he must be, and he can't "smell the chicken and dance".

But this does not mean that he is left to his own, as the emperor, he can naturally have his own response strategy, and it is a fair and honest response.

But this guy also underestimated his mind a little, and he was worried that he was still holding a grudge against Qi Yongtai for protecting the position of eldest brother and prince back then?

Emperor Yonglong chuckled and shook his head: "Zhang Qing, don't be too taboo about anything, in the past, it was difficult to say who was right and who was wrong, the key is now, well, will I still have anything to worry about with my own courtiers?" Zhang Qing is too underestimated, right? ”

Zhang Jingqiu was not embarrassed, and smiled calmly: "Of course, it is best for the emperor to think so, Your Majesty sits on the four seas, Qi Yongtai is not a stupid person, naturally he can see the situation clearly, and the minister also plans to find an opportunity to contact Qiao Rujun,......"

Qiao Rujun is Qiao Yingjia.

Qiao Yingjia has a close relationship with Qi Yongtai, and this time Qiao Yingjia is very likely to be promoted to the right deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, and Qi Yongtai's previous entry into Beijing should also be related to this matter.

Emperor Yonglong was noncommittal, "Well, Zhang Qing, this Shilin event should not be taken lightly, I think Aiqing should be clear about the meaning here, and it must be taken seriously, the Ministry of Rites will issue an order, but this is not enough, Aiqing also needs to think about how to deal with this matter, well, Shuntianfu Shilin ......"

The voice gradually became smaller, but Zhang Jingqiu understood what Emperor Yonglong meant, and bowed his head slightly.

It should be said that His Majesty still sees it very clearly, and he will not let that side easily gain something in the hearts of the people of Shilin, which is very well deserved.

"Your Majesty rest assured, the ministers should do it."

*******

Wang Yongguang stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and did not make a sound for a long time.

As the head of Chongzheng Academy, he was very happy that Yang Sichang had "found" such an opportunity before, and Qingtan Academy was willing to take the initiative to share it with Chongzheng Academy for such a grand event, to be honest, he was also very surprised.

He didn't think that Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen were generous to this point.

Although the two academies are not on the same page, after all, the competitive relationship is there, and they are only a few miles apart, and it is definitely impossible for you to say how harmonious they are.

But after a few contacts, I really didn't notice anything in it, and Chongzheng Academy is not a small family that is afraid of challenges, so Wang Yongguang has no reason to refuse such a great opportunity.

The two quickly joined forces and cooperated, and everything went according to the predetermined steps.

Miao Changqi and Zhu Guozhen have already arrived in Baoding and will soon be in Beijing, and Tang Binyin is also making a big splash in Beijing.

Of course, Chongzheng Academy will not show weakness, and Elder Fang Ge has already spoken out for this.

But Wang Yongguang didn't expect Prince Yizhong to suddenly become so interested in this Shilin event, and he also adhered to the emperor's intention and specially sent someone to contact him.

At this time, the attitude of the old Fang Pavilion was vague and vague.

This made Wang Yongguang smell the strong conspiracy here.
