The first thousand two hundred and ninety-nine chapters
Qian Qianyi suddenly stopped laughing, bowed to Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng and said, "Two Grand Secretarys, please take a step to speak."
Hong and Fan's eyes flashed and looked at Jirgalang.
Jirgalang's face darkened and then returned to normal. He smiled and said casually: "It's okay, I'm just about to have a cup of tea and have some rest... Please give me some advice."
Qian Qianyi said: "The prince is too worried. Qian only has some personal affairs in the past and wants to talk to the two great masters."
Jirgalang turned his head disapprovingly and waved his hand casually.
The three of them came outside the hall and left the guards outside the door.
"What do you mean by Lord Qian?" Fan Wencheng asked angrily. He was really unhappy to come out because he would offend Jiergalang for no reason, making it as if he had to carry Jiergalang on his back. After all, this was in Jiergalang's palace.
However, Hong Chengchou was calm and he understood that if he could make Jirgalang, Qian Qianyi would never do anything.
Qian Qianyi bowed to the two of them and said, "Those who are good at planning must seize the righteousness and then move, but they cannot see it and regret it... The two great masters should know such a shallow truth."
Hong Chengchou lowered his eyelids and didn't even look at Qian Qianyi. "Mr. Qian said something just right, there is no need to go around in circles."
"Okay... Then Qian said bluntly." Qian Qianyi sneered, "The Ming Dynasty has lost its deer, but those who enjoy the country may not be the Qing Dynasty. Why don't you find a way out for yourself and your family?"
When Fan Wencheng heard this, his face suddenly changed and he shouted loudly: "Qian Qianyi, the Regent did not wrong you... You are indeed a spy!"
Qian Qianyi looked at Hong Chengchou without hesitation.
Hong Chengchou was also angry in his heart, but in fact, the intelligence of these three people is really similar. Hong Chengchou was just a little calmer. This is not because of his profound cultivation, but because he has been pointed by thousands of men over the years and has been "accustomed to thinking twice before acting when encountering things.
In his opinion, Qian Qianyi's courage to say this to him and the two of them in Prince Zheng's mansion must have a deep meaning, and it is definitely not just the superficial meaning.
"Mr. Qian, you have exceeded the rule." Hong Chengchou said hunchedly, "Just relying on your whimsical words just now, it is a death sentence."
Qian Qianyi laughed silently. The two old men didn't dare to accuse loudly at this time, which shows that what Shen Zhiyuan said was true.
With this judgment, Qian Qianyi became eased.
"Hong Hengjiu, we have known each other for a long time. Who is the other person? You and I feel like a mirror... Living in this inhuman world, planning and moving can only last longer. Originally, Qian believed that the Ming Dynasty had died and the Qing Dynasty could replace it, but now Qian found that something was wrong. Wu Zheng from Hangzhou Prefecture was born, and it would be difficult for the Qing Dynasty to unify the world."
Fan Wencheng whispered: "Qian Qianyi, if you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame Fan for being ruthless... I will definitely give you your head."
Hong Chengchou narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand to stop Fan Wencheng, and then said to Qian Qianyi: "You still didn't say the point... What exactly do you want to say and do?"
Qian Qianyi laughed and said, "Qian has already said it. Can't you understand it? Qian means that you have to leave a way out for yourself. Don't wait until things come to an end and lose the opportunity. Even if you don't think about it for yourself, you have to think about your family, right?"
Hong Chengchou browed and snorted coldly: "So, are you really doing things for Wu Zheng... want to persuade me to surrender?"
Fan Wencheng looked at Qian Qianyi jokingly and sneered: "Be your mother's daydream and say that you will surrender to me...you deserve it too?"
Qian Qianyi carried his hands leisurely, holding his head up to the sky, ignoring Fan Wencheng's ridicule.
Hong Chengchou's face narrowed. He suddenly realized that Qian Qianyi must have known something when he dared to say this with such courage. He turned his head and shook his eyes at Fan Wencheng.
"Sir Qian, you might as well be straightforward. If you hide it, it will be bad for you and me." Hong Chengchou's tone gradually became colder, and he even made a decision that if Qian Qianyi was just a pretentious act, then today would be Qian Qianyi's death.
Qian Qianyi heard this and looked at Hong and Fan, "Well, since the two insisted on Qian to make it clear, Qian said straight... The two Grand Secretary are in Cao's camp..."
"You...you are talking nonsense, you are full of swearing!" Fan Wencheng's face turned pale and he shouted anxiously.
Hong Chengchou once again stopped Fan Wencheng and said to Qian Qianyi: "What evidence do you have? If there is no evidence, don't blame Hong..."
Qian Qianyi interrupted: "Hong Hengjiu is all wise people. Since Qian dares to say this, he is naturally an insider... Liaodong iron ore, timber, Yangzhou salt, Shanxi coal and other types, in the name of Shanxi merchants, are transported to the south at twice or even three times the price per month to make huge profits... The court has long ordered that these prohibited materials must be controlled for the amount of trafficking, but until today, the materials transported in the south have increased. If the Regent had not blocked the water and land passage in Yanzhou, the number of materials transported in the south might have doubled..."
Fan Wencheng's face was pale. He no longer had the courage to scold Qian Qianyi, but just looked at Hong Chengchou nervously.
Hong Chengchou's eyes shrank, "You keep talking."
"During the Imperial Shang Rebellion in the capital, thousands of people gathered outside the imperial city to petition... Not to mention that this matter has nothing to do with you." Qian Qianyi's clear-headed appearance shocked Hong Chengchou.
He began to believe that Qian Qianyi really knew something.
But the problem is that Hong Chengchou did not want to betray the Qing court, he was just for money, and Fan Wencheng was the same.
It's not their fault, most of them are like this.
Sometimes, it is not just because officials are greedy, but because there is no way. The higher the position, the more helpless it is.
If there are so many people under his command to support him, who can he support him with the little salary from the court? He would all starve to death.
Therefore, when Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and others confirmed that the Qing court could not destroy the Yixing Dynasty in a short period of time, their choice was to reach a secret agreement with Wu Zheng and conduct private trade, especially forbidden materials, which was a rolling profit.
But this does not mean that they are willing to do so anyway, it is just a means to seek benefits.
If it was reported by someone from the south, Hong Chengchou would not take it seriously at all, because it could be said that it was a disagreement between the enemy, but Qian Qianyi's identity is indeed different. Even now, Hong Chengchou still firmly believes that Qian Qianyi is not a spy sent by Wu Zheng.
Because Qian Qianyi's crimes against Yixingchao were definitely not inferior to him and Fan Wencheng. Such a person would not be accepted by Yixingchao and Wu Zheng anyway.
But Hong Chengchou still couldn't figure out how Qian Qianyi knew about this? Wu Zheng deliberately leaked it?
No! This is impossible. Wu Zheng should understand that once this matter is leaked, he will not be able to obtain all kinds of supplies from the north. In other words, Wu Zheng should keep the secret closely.
Who could it be?
