(Thank you for the monthly pass of "一騎騎页娅"!) ）

Of course, Qu Shiyun knows what kind of person Zhu Hongsan is, and when he was in Guangxi, he knew this faint monarch very well, selfish, cruel and murderous, greedy for money and lustful, ruthless and unjust, if compared with the emperors in history, it is probably similar to Zhu Wen, and it cannot be compared with Zhu Yuanzhang, who is eloquent and talented.

Qu Shiyun now heard Jiang Yueguang compare Zhu Hongsan to Zhu Yuanzhang, and said with a smile: "Yan Jigong, this faint monarch is lucky, and when the forces in the north are almost exhausted, he raised troops from Guangdong to pick up a big bargain, saying that this faint monarch can be compared with Emperor Taizu Gao, and I still don't believe it!" ”

Jiang Yueguang knew why Qu Shiyun thought so, Qu Shiyun didn't look down on Zhu Hongsan in the first place, Huguang was born in the clan, and he was attached to the Ma family even if he didn't study, so he naturally couldn't enter Qu Shiyun's eyes, but Qu Shiyun looked at the surface. Although Zhu Hongsan is not in every way, he is not much worse than Zhu Yuanzhang in playing with power.

"Qitian, you still don't know our emperor! Do you think that your master and apprentice were released by the power of the old man? ”

At this time, naturally, if it wasn't Yan Jigong who spoke, could it be Ma Mingyuan? It can't be! ”

"It is true that the old man said good things for you, but Dongchang is under the direct jurisdiction of His Majesty, can you come out without Your Majesty's will? Without His Majesty's orders, do you really think that the eunuchs in Dongchang are high-spirited and dare not torture you? ”

Qu Shiyun thought about it, if it wasn't for the emperor's care, the Dongchang gang would never be able to do this to themselves.

"Yan Jigong, then why did Your Majesty suppress Donglin on the one hand, but let me wait out?"

Jiang Yueguang smiled and asked instead of answering: "Qitian, your teacher Qian Muzhai is a master of history, what happened to the old man who examined your Lanyu case during the Hongwu period?" ”

This is not difficult for Qu Shiyun, not to mention Qu Shiyun, that is, any literati at that time knew what was going on. Although this big case was launched by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it was more than 270 years away from the founding of the country, and at the same time, because the court was open, not to mention the things of more than 200 years ago, even the current emperor was scolded, so this big case has already become an open secret.

"Yan Jigong, the Lan Yu case is because Emperor Huizong is young, and Emperor Taizu is afraid that Lan Yu will not be controlled, so he slaughters Lan Yu and other generals!"

Huizong is the temple number of Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen is unknown after the battle of Jingnan, to July of the first year of Hongguang in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yousong ordered to change the temple number to Huizong, and later generations called Zhu Yunwen Emperor Hui of the Ming Dynasty.

When the crown prince Zhu Biao was still alive, Lan Yu and Zhu Biao had a very good relationship, and Zhu Yuanzhang was originally left by Zhu Yuanzhang to assist Zhu Biao, but unfortunately Zhu Biao died early. Lan Yu has a proud character, obviously not the young emperor Zhu Yunwen can suppress it, so not long after Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Yuanzhang also killed Lan Yu, Zhu Biao does not die, Lan Yu does not have to die, Lan Yu does not die, Lan Yu is not dead, Lan Yu commands the superior military strength of the imperial court, how can there be Li Jinglong, Zhu Di's matter. Zhu Yuanzhang left the super-first-class martial arts group team of the Ming Dynasty at that time for his son Zhu Biao as a preparation for his son to inherit the unification and completely eliminate the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and according to historical records, Lan Yu himself was even more loyal to Zhu Biao, but the sky was unsatisfactory Zhu Yuanzhang's plan was disrupted, the crown prince died and the emperor Sun You, Lan Yu and others had to become political victims.

Of course, Qu Shiyun knew the causes and consequences of the Lan Yu case, but he didn't know what Jiang Yueguang was doing when he talked about this matter today?

"Yan Jigong, more than 200 years have passed since the Lanyu case, is it still relevant to today's current situation?"

"Kida, it's very related! Back then, Taizu slaughtered Lan Yu to protect the emperor's grandson, and today's emperor left you Qu Qitian to protect the prince! ”

Qu Shiyun knew that Zhu Hongsan had made his eldest son Zhu Hai the crown prince as early as when he was in charge of the country in Guangdong, and he also knew that the first assistant Ma Mingyuan was the prince's uncle and father-in-law, but what does this have to do with him? After joining Zhu Hongsan's group, he was a magistrate, and he had nothing to do with the prince, why did Jiang Yueguang say today that he had become the prince's umbrella?

"Yan Jigong, there is no intersection with the prince in Xia, why do you say that Qu is left to protect the prince?"

Jiang Yueguang stroked his three-foot long beard and said with a smile: "The crown prince is the imperial grandson of the year, and Ma Mingyuan is the blue jade!" Kida: Now you understand! ”

Qu Shiyun has also been in officialdom for half his life, he didn't expect that he was just not in the bureau just now, but now he reacted when he heard Jiang Yueguang wake up so much.

After the Suzhou incident, half of the officials in the officialdom are now Ma Mingyuan's disciples. And the emperor had to use Ma Mingyuan in order to implement the new policy, but using Ma Mingyuan would increase his power, and Emperor Zhu Hongsan would naturally be able to suppress Ma Mingyuan when he was alive, but what if the emperor died? You must know that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not live long, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Zhu Houxi, and Zhu Yijun, the four who lived past the age of 60, all the other emperors did not live past 60 at all, and most of them died in their forties.

If the emperor hangs up in an accident, no one in the court can suppress Ma Mingyuan, so the emperor only released Qu Shiyun today, just to use the Donglin forces behind Qu Shiyun to contain Ma Mingyuan. At the same time, because most of Qu Shiyun's imprisonment this time was falsely accused by Ma Mingyuan, Qu Shiyun naturally couldn't be good with Ma Mingyuan when he was released from prison.

Qu Shiyun couldn't help but admire that faint gentleman very much when he thought of this, he could do this by playing tricks, it was really the essence of the old Zhu family!

Qu Shiyun, who thought clearly, also understood why Jiang Yueguang wanted to make himself his successor, the reason was very simple, the emperor had already made it clear that Qu Shiyun would fight with Ma Mingyuan, so he naturally wanted Qu Shiyun to enter the cabinet. And Jiang Yueguang naturally wanted to push the boat down the river and go to the edict to pick up Qu Shiyun out of prison first, which was done in order to form a good relationship with Qu Shiyun and ensure that after Jiang Yueguang became a prince in the future, his son's family would also be safe.

Qu Shiyun thought of this and smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that none of these bigwigs in the DPRK is a fuel-efficient lamp, everyone can see it after five or six years, I don't know if I can deal with these old guys after entering the cabinet.

Now that it was getting late, Jiang Yueguang looked at the sky and it was almost the time he had agreed with Li Zhi.

"Qitian, you and the old man will go out to meet someone in a while! Don't Mountain, you've just been released from prison, so let's recuperate at home! Zhang Tongchang knew that he was not yet capable of contacting the core of power, so he quickly stood up and bowed down to agree.

Jiang Yueguang and Qu Shiyun walked out of the back door of Jiang's mansion and each boarded a small sedan chair, but they didn't leave immediately, but stopped at the mouth of the alley, as if they were waiting for someone!

After less than a quarter of an hour, a small sedan chair appeared at the mouth of the alley, and a person got off the sedan chair and walked to Jiang Yueguang's sedan chair, and said in a low voice: "Jiang Ge Lao, the little nephew is here!" ”

Qu Shiyun listened to the familiar voice, and when he picked up the curtain, he saw that it was an old acquaintance, and his junior brother Qian beloved.

At this time, Qian Yiai also saw Qu Shiyun, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "It turns out that Mr. Jiaxuan is also here, and the little nephew is polite here!" "Although Qu Shiyun is a disciple of Qian Qianyi, the difference between the two is only nine years old, although Qu Shiyun holds a discipleship ceremony to Qian Qianyi, but the relationship between the two is also a teacher and a friend, so Qian Yiai called him Mr. when he saw Qu Shiyi!

Qu Shiyun knew that Qian Qianyi's second son was a prodigy, and now he was serving as the prefect of Shuntian at a young age, but today Jiang Yueguang obviously wanted to take himself to meet Li Zhi, why did he bring this Qian Zhi's bereavement? Could it be that the status of Qian Yiai's love is so high?

Now the imperial court implements the three-capital system, and the government Yin is from the three products. This official position is probably enough for ordinary people to mix for a lifetime, and Qian Yiai was mixed up from the third grade at a young age, which also shows that the emperor favors him. But although the third grade is very high, it is still 108,000 miles away from the core of power. According to the normal promotion speed of officialdom, you must first work for five years from the third grade, and then be promoted to the political envoy.

There are two ways to go after serving as a political envoy for three years, one is to enter the central government and become a squire in ministries and commissions, and whether you can be promoted to Shangshu depends on your luck and ability. The second is to continue to work in the locality, then to be governor, then to governor. At this level, you are not far from the core of power, if the emperor trusts you at this time, plus you have strong ability and are good at throwing pots and, then you can carp jump into the dragon gate and enter the place where tens of millions of literati and scholars in the Ming Dynasty yearn for, the cabinet.

Although Qian Yiai is now trusted by the emperor, it will take at least fifteen years to contact the core of power, why did Jiang Yueguang find him today? Qu Shiyun had doubts in his heart, but this place was not the place to ask, so he had to put the doubts in his heart, put down the sedan curtain and followed Jiang Yueguang to meet Li Zhi.

Xianliang Temple is in the goldfish alley outside Dong'an Gate, and the geographical location is the Wangfujing of later generations. This place was called the Ten Princes' Mansion in the Ming Dynasty, and it was first built in the Yongle period, when Chongzhen was still the king of letters, he lived here. However, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered Beijing, this place was changed to a place where the Manchu nobles lived, and when Zhu Hongsan occupied this place, several mansions here were changed into the prince's mansion and the county prince's mansion, and rewarded his meritorious ministers. Zhu Jiang, King of Qin, Zhu Huai, King of Chu, Zhu Hongyi, King of Wuchang County, and others all lived here.

Now this place is inhabited by the nobility of the New Dynasty, and naturally the surrounding area has become a prosperous commercial area. In addition to the Chu Party, the largest force, Zhu Hongsan's subordinates are the Cantonese Party, so someone opened a restaurant here in Goldfish Hutong to serve those nobles from Guangdong, and the main business is Cantonese cuisine.

The Cantonese cuisine of this era is not as varied as the Cantonese cuisine of later generations, and the main feature of this restaurant is the Mandarin Duck hot pot that was popular in later generations, which was invented by the shameless Zhu Hongsan to plagiarize the Sichuan cuisine of later generations, of course, because it appeared in Guangdong, so it is also divided into Cantonese cuisine.

When you come to the door of the restaurant, it doesn't look like a normal restaurant at all, but it looks like an ordinary house. A dark gate, with gray courtyard walls on both sides, and willow trees planted inside, it is impossible to see the situation inside.

The sedan chair stopped outside the door, and a member of the Jiang family came forward to knock on the door, and then the door opened, and the three small sedan chairs were carried into the courtyard in turn. When he entered the courtyard, Qu Shiyun found that the courtyard was different, and this courtyard was actually planted with bamboo. You must know that Beijing is in the north, the temperature in winter is more than 10 degrees below zero, and the bamboo cannot survive at all, and the only thing that can be done is to transplant the whole piece of bamboo from the south of the Yangtze River in the beginning of spring, but this will cost a lot of money.
