Qian Qianyi is still relatively decisive, and once he makes up his mind, he quickly puts it into action. After the next day, Qian Qianyi sent a servant to invite Huang Daozhou, because he had to find out if there was anyone else behind Huang Daozhou. After all, he is now an enemy with Chen Yue, Chen Yue's power is too huge, and the Jinyi Guard mastered by Chen Yue's lackey Liu Neng is even more pervasive, so he has to be careful about the embankment. If Huang Daozhou hadn't talked to others before persuading himself, there was still hope for success. And if Huang Daozhou had already discussed with many people before seeing him, Qian Qianyi would not cooperate with him again, but would turn against him! After all, compared with his own net worth and life, the survival of Confucianism is not worth mentioning at all.

Huang Daozhou was not surprised when Qian Qianyi invited himself, "Mu Zhaigong, can you figure it out?" ”

"Brother Youping, I wonder if you have told anyone else about this?" Qian Qianyi didn't go around in circles, and asked directly.

Huang Daozhou shook his head: "It's a big matter, Dao Zhou doesn't dare to say it to others at will!" ”

"What about Motosuke, didn't you tell him too?" Qian Qianyi asked.

Although Qian Qianyi is the leader of the Donglin Party, in terms of official position and fame, the first assistant Shi Kefa is above Qian Qianyi, and the matter of Chen is very important, and it is impossible for Huang Daozhou not to talk to Shi Kefa.

"Nope." Huang Daozhou shook his head and said, seeing that Qian Qianyi didn't believe it, he explained: "It's really not, Daozhou feels that although Yuan Fu is upright, he is indecisive when it comes to things, and he is not a person who can discuss major matters." Moreover, Yuan Fu tried his best to compromise with Chen Yue and promote Princess Kunxing to supervise the country, which shows that he appreciates Chen Yue very much. If I say that Chen Yue will destroy Confucianism, I'm afraid Yuan Fu will be the first to not believe it. If you talk to him about this, it may cause resistance. ”

Qian Qianyi couldn't help but feel a little complacent in his heart, it turned out that in the eyes of a person of insight like Huang Daozhou, his ability and influence had surpassed that of Shoufu Shi Kefa. What Qian Qianyi didn't know was that the reason why Huang Daozhou looked for him first instead of Shi Kefa was because in Huang Daozhou's eyes, Qian Qianyi was the most likely to oppose Chen Yue, much more than Shi Kefa.

Shi Kefa is a native of Kaifeng, Kaifeng has experienced wars and turmoil, and has long been deserted, Shi Kefa is an official and extremely incorruptible, whether it is Chen Yue dealing with the nobles or dealing with the gentry, in fact, it has little impact on Shi Kefa. In Shi Kefa's heart, I am afraid that he agrees more with the integration of the officials and gentry to pay taxes and cancel some of the privileges of the gentry. And Chen Yue's various actions all the time are actually very much in line with Shi Kefa's thoughts, so it is extremely unlikely that he wants to convince Shi Kefa.

On the contrary, Qian Qianyi is a native of Suzhou, and the Qian family is a big family in the southeast, and the family has as many as 100,000 acres of land, silk, cotton cloth, and even sea trade, and the Qian family is engaged in countless businesses. Therefore, if Chen Yue takes the gentry, the loss of the Qian family will be very large, which Qian Qianyi will never want to see. In the eyes of people like Qian Qianyi, there has always been only their own interests, and no one in the world is comparable to his family's one-third of an acre. This is the reason why Huang Daozhou first looked for Qian Qianyi.

However, in Qian Qianyi's eyes, Huang Daozhou trusted himself more than Shi Kefa, which made him extremely happy.

"Yuanfu is upright and can naturally be trusted. But Brother Youping Xian, you are also right, the so-called king does not lose his ministers, ministers do not lose his body, and a few things are not secret, and the power of Chen Yue, the king of Qi, is too huge, and it is really not appropriate to be too vocal before the matter has an eyebrow. Qian Qianyi said with a smile.

Huang Daozhou arched his hand and said: "May only the Muzhai stallion be the first to look forward!" ”

Qian Qianyi said: "The power of King Qi is too huge, so the matter of reversing Chen needs to be done slowly. The immediate priority is to put His Majesty back in power and take back the throne from the princess of the prison state. ”

Huang Daozhou said: "This matter should be easy, Your Majesty's health has improved, and it is justified to regain power, the princess is just a prisoner of the country, and the princess is pure filial piety, how can she go against Your Majesty?" ”

Qian Qianyi shook his head: "It's not that easy. The princess of the prison country said that she was only a daughter after all, and although she was smart, she had no ambitions. But don't forget, there is Chen Yue, the king of Qi, behind the princess of the prison country! Although Chen Yue is in Beijing, the power left in Nanjing is very huge, not to mention the pervasive Jinyi Guard, which is in the inner palace, can you know who is Chen Yue's eyes and ears?

His Majesty has been ill for many days, and he has long lost the ability to control the inner palace, and if he easily exposes his intention to return to power, I am afraid that he will not even be able to guarantee his safety. ”

Huang Daozhou nodded with a serious face, and secretly said in his heart that he had found the right person to find Qian Qianyi, if he talked about conspiracy, I am afraid that no one in the Manchu Dynasty would be Qian Qianyi's opponent.

"What to do specifically, please make it public!"

"Your Majesty's advent is only one aspect, what we have to do is to completely control Nanjing City. So the first step is to master the inner palace, then master the Jingying, and then take back the Jinyi Guard from Liu Neng. In this way, when the whole of Nanjing is completely in the hands of His Majesty, great things can be done. Qian Qianyi revealed his plan to Huang Daozhou and Pan.

"Please Your Majesty come to the court and control the palace, and the old man is in charge. What you have to do is to convince a person, as long as this person is on our side, Nanjing City can be in our hands! ”

"Who is this person?" Huang Daozhou hurriedly asked.

"Huaiyuan Marquis, Governor of Jingying, Chang Yanling!"

After Huang Daozhou said goodbye and left, a figure walked out from behind the screen, but it was Du Xiufeng, Qian Qianyi's confidant.

"Proprietor, can Lord Huang do it, can he persuade Chang Yanling?" Du Xiufeng was very worried about Qian Qianyi's participation in such a big matter, after all, the power of Chen Yue, the king of Qi, was now very huge.

Qian Qianyi said: "The Zodiac Zhou is known all over the world, and the Marquis of Huaiyuan, Chang Yanling, has always been a vassal and elegant, and he has special admiration for the Zodiac Zhou, and it is far more appropriate for the Zodiac Zhou to lobby than others.

And Chang Yanling has always been loyal to Geng, and he is the only remaining founding noble. If Chen Yue rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and succeeded in becoming self-reliant, it would be impossible to keep Chang Yanling, a noble of the former dynasty, and Chang Yanling knew this better than anyone else. The founding of the country, the hereditary repudiation and the country, if the Ming Dynasty died, the Ming Dynasty naturally ceased to exist. Whether it is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty or for his own interests, Chang Yanling is destined to have to stand with His Majesty.

Xiufeng, your task is to get in touch with that person in the palace as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, proprietor!" After Du Xiufeng agreed, he left the Qian Mansion directly. At noon, he appeared in a teahouse in Fairview Square.

"Master Du, are you still the same?" Cha Xiaoer diligently introduced Du Xiufeng into the elegant seat.

"The same old way." Du Xiufeng casually threw a piece of broken silver into Xiao Er's hand, "If Master Zhou comes, tell me." ”

"Thank you for your reward, Du Ye, don't worry!" Xiao Er happily went out and quickly delivered tea and snacks.

Du Xiufeng sat in the private room and slowly tasted tea and ate snacks, leisurely.

It didn't take long for a middle-aged man in brocade clothes to be introduced into the private room by Xiao Er, and Du Xiufeng hurriedly stood up and hugged his fists to salute.

"Mr. Du is so laid-back." The person who came sat down with a smile, picked up a snack and put it in his mouth, his attitude was very casual, it can be seen that the two are very familiar.

"It's just a help, it's not as good as the big housekeeper of the week." Du Xiufeng said with a smile.

"The fart is a good day, Father-in-law Tian stays in the palace all day, and it is difficult to come out once. I'm not idle every day! Steward Zhou smiled.

"It's not very good to be idle, drink tea and listen to music, and live happily like a fairy, this is a good life that others can't even live if they want to." Du Xiufeng said with a smile.

"Hahaha, what Mr. Du said is very true." Steward Zhou also laughed.

The two talked casually, and when they were separated, Du Xiufeng said casually, "My family elder wants to see Father-in-law Tian, you have to send a message to the palace." ”

Steward Zhou paused for a moment and nodded slightly.

......

The cabinet was on duty, and several cabinet elders were busy non-stop, and everyone was piled up in front of them.

Daming is an eventful time, the princess of the prison country has not been in power for a long time, and she is not very familiar with state affairs, and she needs the cabinet to take ideas. After the elder Wang Yin supervised Fujian, there were only three scholars left in the cabinet: Shi Kefa, Lu Zhenfei, and Qian Qianyi, and everything fell on them.

The most important thing at the moment is to reward the meritorious soldiers of the Northern Expedition, after all, the victory of the Northern Expedition is inspiring to the world, but the soldiers cannot be chilled because the reward is not timely.

It is good to say that the rewards for ordinary officers and soldiers are nothing more than rewards for promotions, and there are precedents to follow, and now that the summer tax and salt tax have been collected, it is still possible to take out a sum of silver. But in terms of high-ranking generals, it is really difficult to know how to reward them.

In this Northern Expedition, many generals who have made great contributions have emerged, such as Li Yi Jinxin, such as Wu Ping and Yu Feng. These people turned out to be the chief soldiers, and they all had the title of earl, and now they have made great contributions again, and if they are knighted again, they will have to be crowned marquis. All of a sudden, there will be a lot of princes.

Da Ming has always been very strict with the control of the title, and he does not arbitrarily knight. But if it is not sealed, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the soldiers. Now the world is far from being calm, and the soldiers still need to continue to fight.

There is also Chen Yue, the king of Qi, who once again made a contribution to the sky, how should he be rewarded? Therefore, how to reward these generals who have made meritorious contributions, even the first assistant Shi Kefa is also quite difficult.

As a result, Shi Kefa had to call the other two cabinet elders to discuss.

"Yuan Fu, the position is to confer ability, the knight is rewarded for merit, the battle of the Northern Expedition, the soldiers have made great contributions, and the court is not stingy with the reward of the marquis!" The second assistant Lu Zhenfei said resolutely.

Qian Qianyi shook his head: "I thought that the matter of sealing the marquis was too big for us to deal with, so it should be reported to the palace and decided by Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty?" Lu Zhenfei frowned slightly, "Now that the princess is in charge of the country, Your Majesty's body has not yet recovered, so there is no need to disturb him about this matter." ”

Qian Qianyi said: "The reason why the princess is in charge of the country is because Your Majesty is in poor health, and now that Your Majesty's health is improving, things should naturally be asked to Your Majesty, after all, the princess is young and does not understand state affairs." ”

Shi Kefa was silent for a while, and Fang Dao, "Your Majesty is naturally in charge, but there is no need to be in a hurry, everything depends on Your Majesty's body."

In this case, I will inform the princess of the prison country of the results of our deliberations, and the princess will decide how to decide. ”

Lu Zhenfei said: "It should be so. Then he departed.

Qian Qianyi had nothing to say about Shi Kefa's decision, but sneered inwardly.

Watching the two pavilion elders leave, Shi Kefa's eyes were very complicated.

Regarding Lu Zhenfei and Qian Qianyi's thoughts, Shi Kefa naturally knew it.

Lu Zhenfei is Chen Yue's family, and he has completely stood on Chen Yue's side. Now that the princess is in charge of the country, the power of the King of Qi is extremely huge, and Lu Zhenfei naturally does not want anything to happen.

However, Qian Qianyi is the representative of the Donglin Party, and if it is said that the most opposed to Chen Yue's taking power, it is none other than the Donglin Party.

After all, Chen Yue's past actions were contrary to the interests of the Donglin Party.

And Shi Kefa himself is very contradictory and entangled.

First, after all, he is a member of the Donglin Party, and most of the officials who support him are also from Donglin, and Shi Kefa, as the first assistant, cannot go too far against the wishes of the Donglin Party officials.

But after all, Shi Kefa is still the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and he has the entire Ming Dynasty on his shoulders, and he must think about the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world.

The state affairs in the past 20 years have proved that Chongzhen's government is extremely unqualified, and the world is getting worse and worse under his governance.

On the contrary, in the more than half a year since Chongzhen suffered a stroke and fell into a coma, the situation in Daming has improved rapidly, and there are things that are thriving.

Therefore, in Shi Kefa's heart, it is not so urgent for Chongzhen to return to power. On the contrary, there was a faint expectation in his heart, hoping that the situation of the princess in prison would continue. Chongzhen honestly recuperated in the palace, the princess continued to supervise the country, the king of Qi continued to lead troops to pacify the foreign captives and internal thieves, and the government was still in charge of the cabinet, which was the most perfect situation!

However, this is simply impossible, I didn't see that Chongzhen's condition had just improved, and many people in the DPRK and China were already ready to move.

Do these people really support Emperor Chongzhen? I'm afraid not.

Chongzhen has been on the throne for so many years, being mean and unkind, deposing the first assistant, killing the ministers, and treating the ministers as if they were enemies, how could the ministers be loyal to him?

The reason why these people were in a hurry to invite Chongzhen to come to power was just to deal with Chen Yue, the king of Qi.

Although Chongzhen is mean, he is so foolish, and he is still a gentry in this world. But Chen Yue is different, once Chen Yue is in power, he will inevitably take the gentry, and many people have seen this consequence. That's why Qian Qianyi suggested Chongzhen to come into power.

The words of the sage told Shi Kefa to be loyal to the king, but in his heart he told Shi Kefa that the world might be better without Chongzhen.

Without Chongzhen, Princess Kunxing was the empress of the country, although it was a bit appalling, but it was the most beneficial situation for Daming.

As for the future, the Ming Dynasty can be passed on to the princess and Chen Yue's son, so as to ensure that Chen Yue will always be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the world will not be turbulent.

With Chen Yue here, it is natural that the thieves can be swept away as soon as possible and the foreign captives can be pacified, and the Ming civil and military forces will work together, and the officials of the DPRK and China will work together, and the situation in the Ming Dynasty will be able to flourish. And this is what Shi Kefa has long calculated in his heart.

However, with Chongzhen's awakening, everything is no longer controllable. In which direction the situation will develop, even Shi Kefa does not know.

Shi Kefa now had a sense of powerlessness, he had a premonition that the situation would soon be out of control, maybe this time Da Ming would really slide into the abyss.
