Jinling, Nanjing Zuodu Censor's Mansion.

It was the Dragon Boat Festival, and there was a rare few days to spare. Bi Maoliang spent almost all his thoughts on his proud disciple Zheng Chenggong.

It has to be said that there is a reason why successful people can succeed. Except for those who accumulate wealth and achieve success, others rely on hard work.

Zheng Chenggong can be regarded as a second-generation official, but his father Zheng Zhilong is just a pirate to put it bluntly, and he eventually defected to Mi Qing. The reason why he was famous in history is not his father.

He was really hardworking. In history, he returned to the Ming Dynasty at the age of six. However, at the age of fifteen, he had already passed the scholarship with his own abilities, and he also received the treatment of a student, which is the kind of scholar who provided free meals in the imperial court.

This has nothing to do with his background. The scholars at that time were famous for hating the rich. The so-called poor scholars, if they have poor grades, they really cannot occupy this public place.

This is not enough to show his diligence, because he is a master of both civil and military cultivation, that is, he does not forget to practice martial arts while studying, and his martial arts are also famous for being powerful.

How did he practice?

I lifted three hundred pounds of stone lion thirty times a day, but I just warmed up!

This is not a bragging, it is recorded in many historical materials.

Of course, Bi Maoliang, a diligent disciple, loves such an extremely serious love. He will work tirelessly and carefully teach and keep it aside all day long whenever he has time.

However, this time it was an exception because a rare guest came to the mansion.

That morning, Bi Maoliang, who had just had breakfast, was about to explain the "Four Books and Five Classics" to Zheng Chenggong when the gatekeeper suddenly came to report that Zhu Qi, the shopkeeper of Huayutang, asked for a meeting.

Zhu Qi is the crazy king Zhu Qi, so Bi Maoliang certainly knows this.

He quickly walked to the gate and personally welcomed Zhu Qizhai into his study. After shutting down the servants, he couldn't help asking: "Prince, what is the result of this battle against Hongmao Fan?"

The Dutch organized a fleet to take revenge. This was what Zheng Zhilong told Zou Weilian in recent days. The news had not even reached the capital. Not many people knew about it in Jinling City, but Bi Maoliang had already received the news from Qi Yuangong.

Zhu Qizhe smiled and said, "It's just a red-haired fan, so we can naturally win. We won a great victory in this battle and wiped out the invading enemy. Fujian Governor Zou Weilian and General Zheng Zhilong have reported it. I believe that the good news will reach Jinling soon."

When Bi Maoliang heard this, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised: "The prince is amazing, and there are also Governor Zou and General Zheng. If all the officials of the Ming Dynasty could be like them, why worry about the immortality of Jiannu and the rebels and unfairness!"

Uh, what do you mean by this?

In fact, the reason why this battle won a great victory has nothing to do with Zou Weilian and Zheng Zhilong.

However, Zou Weilian is indeed a good person. At least he is diligent in his work and loves the people, does not corruption, and does not rob me of me. There are really not many officials who can do this now.

It's a pity that he's almost done!

Zhu Qizhu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Oh, it's fine for Zheng Zhilong. No one dared to touch him. Governor Zou is probably doomed this time."

ah?

Bi Maoliang asked subconsciously: "What's wrong with Governor Zou? Did he offend someone?"

I'm so stunned, who do he need to offend?

You people are just too naive. Facing the cruel and ruthless eunuch party, you are like lambs to be slaughtered!

Zhu Qizhuo shook his head slightly and sighed: "He didn't offend anyone, he shouldn't have made such a great contribution! The Liaodong governor Xiong Tingbi, Fujian governor Nan Juyi, the five provinces governor Cai Fuyi, the five provinces governor Zhu Xieyuan, the Ji Liao governor Sun Chengzong, the Ji Liao governor Yuan Chonghuan, and so on. Anyone with outstanding achievements, as long as they are not eunuchs, what will the outcome?"

this!

Bi Maoliang thought about it carefully and his face was filled with anger.

He really didn't pay attention to this. Now that he thought about it carefully, he immediately understood.

During the two dynasties of Tianqi Chongzhen, any one who has outstanding achievements will have to lose his skin even if he is not a eunuch party!

As for the reason, it is very simple, because they are not eunuch party and have made great contributions, not only will they not be able to give benefits to eunuch party, but they may also hinder eunuch party from taking control of power.

Thinking of this, Bi Maoliang couldn't help but clench his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "This group of eunuchs should be damned! Those who can fight well have all been framed by them. What hope does the Ming Dynasty have?"

Well, it's a bit off topic. I'm not looking for you to say this.

Zhu Qizhe said a little embarrassedly: "Let's not talk about this for now. They still control the power of the court, and we have no choice but to deal with them. I came here mainly to see what success he has learned?"

When Bi Maoliang heard this, he couldn't help but turn anger into joy and said, "Successful this child is really a rare pillar of talent. In just a few years, he has memorized the "Four Books and Five Classics" well, and the articles he has made are quite good. There must be no problem with the county, government and college exams. What's even more rare is that he is still practicing martial arts every day. In this troubled time, he needs such talents!"

Is it so powerful?

very good!

Since the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination are fine, then go with me.

Zhu Qidiao pretended to be serious and said, "Well, since that's the case, then we should take him to experience it. It is better to travel thousands of miles than reading books. Successful child, because of his parents, rarely comes into contact with ordinary people. If he can't get in contact with ordinary people, it will be difficult for him to understand the sufferings of the world. If he doesn't understand the sufferings of the world, how can he know what reading and practicing qigong are for? Otherwise, I will take him to the northwest to see what the sufferings of the world are and what the people need."

Well, this is indeed reasonable. Problem, Bi Maoliang is really reluctant to part with this proud disciple!

How long will it take for you to take him around the northwest?

Bi Maoliang thought for a while and then reminded: "Prince, if you take your successful way to the northwest, your identity will probably not be hidden. If General Zheng knew about it, wouldn't it be good?"

He actually just couldn't bear to part with Zheng Chenggong.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong's factors have to be considered. After all, this guy is just a fence-skinned man and is profit-oriented.

Zhu Qizhua smiled and said, "Zheng Zhilong probably has set off for Nanyang now. He probably won't be able to come back within a year or two. Besides, he will know my identity sooner or later. We don't have to be afraid of the court now. He will know it, it's nothing."

This, OK.

Bi Maoliang said helplessly: "When will the prince set off?"

Zhu Qidiao estimated: "It's the day after tomorrow. I have to deal with something in the past two days. I guess I'll leave early the morning after tomorrow to Nanyang."

The two chatted for a while, and then Bi Maoliang called Zheng Chenggong over.

Zheng Chenggong was naturally extremely excited when he heard that his adoptive father wanted to take him to the northwest for training. After all, he was still a child, and his playful nature was inevitable.
