Chapter 486 Undercurrent

In this world, all scholars are basically the same family behind them. To put it bluntly, even the poorest scholars have more wealth than ordinary people.

Although people in the world say "poor scholars", it is self-deprecating among scholars. If you really take it seriously, it will make people laugh at it.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the world is controlled by scholars.

"Share the world with scholars and officials" and "not punishing scholars and officials" are passed down for thousands of years.

But this son wants to subvert it with his own strength. It's a pity, ridiculous, and overestimate himself!

With this idea, Chen Zilong was already regretting his impulse that day and his support during the court discussion.

If Qian Qianyi only knows one thing, at least Qian Qianyi is right, that is, he cannot let Wu Zheng become richer. When he is too big, he may not be able to stop him from ascending the throne, and in the end he really bows down and surrenders.

In this way, wouldn’t we stop the world from going into chaos again?

Chen Zilong said slowly: "It's not easy to impeach and dismiss Wu Zheng. This son was meticulous and decided to control the cabinet when he decided to set up the five people in the cabinet. Now that Duke Xingguo is leading the troops, Zhang Huangyan is a fan of Wu Zheng. Although Qian Xiang is upright, he is Wu Zheng's father-in-law after all. Ma Shiying was even taken in by Wu Zheng and recommended him. Among the five people in the cabinet, he has an absolute advantage. With his own strength, it is hard to support him alone."

Qian Qianyi smiled mysteriously and said, "This matter seems difficult, but it may not be impossible."

"Mr. Yushan has a clever plan?"

"I dare not say a clever plan, but I can follow it and I will definitely get what I want."

"Please give me advice from Mr. Yushan."

"I heard that Zhang Gong and Zhang Guowei are still alive?"

"Yes. Mr. Zhang was rescued by local fishermen that day and survived."

"Mr. Wozi can have a way to convince Zhang Guowei?"

Chen Zilong thought for a while and said, "Although Zhang Gong is a good man, he is sure of his righteousness. If I go to persuade him, it will not be difficult to agree to remove Wu Zheng from his negotiation errands, but this time he returns with Wu Zheng, and it is probably not easy to make him agree to remove Wu Zheng from his military position."

Qian Qianyi smiled and said, "The food must be eaten at a bite. As long as Zhang Guowei agrees to dismiss Wu Zheng's negotiation errand this time, it will clearly show his position. Even if he has a friendship with Wu Zheng, he will be afraid of Wu Zheng. As for the people's hearts, once the fear is achieved, the two will naturally gradually become alienated."

Chen Zilong's eyes lit up, but then asked: "Mr. Zhang is not a minister..."

"This is not difficult. As long as Mr. Wozi proposes to add a post to the cabinet tomorrow and recommend Zhang Guowei to the cabinet, no one will object with Zhang Guowei's qualifications and contributions. Even if Wu Zheng is willing to agree happily. As long as Zhang Guowei enters the cabinet, there will be two cabinet ministers who agree to dismiss Wu Zheng's negotiation responsibilities. Next, as long as Ma Shiying is convinced, there will be three of the five people, so why worry about the big thing being done?"

Chen Zilong frowned and said, "Ma Shiying is not enough to plan things."

Qian Qianyi said in his forehead: "A man from the eunuch party, Mr. Wozi, who was a member of the eunuch, naturally disdained to be with him. However, when Qian was in the Hongguang Dynasty, he had some contact with him. If Mr. Wozi refused to abandon him, Qian would be willing to go and talk to Mr. Wozi."

Chen Zilong's eyes lit up and thought for a while and said, "In this case, I'll ask Mr. Yushan. If this matter is done, Mr. Yushan will have great achievements in the court. Chen is willing to recommend Mr. Yushan as the Right Minister of the Ministry of Rites."

Qian Qianyi said humbly: "Qian has made a mistake in his career before, so he must not dare to enter the court... Wouldn't he be ashamed?"

A trace of contempt flashed in Chen Zilong's heart, and he comforted him with a pleasant mouth: "Mr. Yushan's literary talent is praised by the world. When my dynasty is just beginning, I need talented people like Mr. Yushan to participate in the event. Mr. Yushan cannot refuse!"

Qian Qianyi then bowed and thanked him: "Since Mr. Wozi is so kind, it is disrespectful to refuse again... Thank you Mr. Wozi for recommending you great kindness."

....

Ma Shiying never expected that Chen Hongfan would leave, and Qian Qianyi would come.

What he did was the same thing.

However, Qian Qianyi was obviously not as generous as Chen Hongfan, and he only brought 10,000 taels of silver.

Ma Shiying naturally won’t think it’s too small. Qian Qianyi’s family was indeed rich before, but he has been almost done in the past few years, so he just accepted the ten thousand taels of silver with a smile.

Seeing that Ma Shiying happily accepted the heavy gift, Qian Qianyi felt relieved and boasted in front of Chen Zilong that if Ma Shiying refused this trip, he would be unable to get over this face.

Fortunately, Ma Shiying is still the same Ma Shiying.

To be honest, Qian Qianyi looked down on Ma Shiying from the bottom of his heart, because in Qian Qianyi's opinion, Ma Shiying was too greedy and lost all the face of scholars.

You said there are also thieves. A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. He doesn’t have to eat too ugly.

But Qian Qianyi never reflects on himself, and he is even worse than Ma Shiying.

At least Ma Shiying was expelled by Zhu Yihai and Longwu, and he also traveled thousands of miles of mountains and fields in eastern Zhejiang to spend all his wealth and recruit rebel troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, Qian Qianyi is very humble now.

"Ma Xiang, I haven't seen him for three years, and his charm is still there!"

"Ma is not as comfortable as Master Qian in Yingtian Mansion's beauty. She has been sleeping in the open past few years, so how can she be so charming? Please, please speak in the west wing."

This chat lasted for an hour. Although I don’t know what they said, from Qian Qianyi’s brisk pace when he left, I think he got what he wanted.

....

But can Ma Shiying really get them what they want?

If Ma Shiying is still as greedy as Chen Hongfan and Qian Qianyi think, why should he spend all his family wealth in these three years and recruit rebels to fight against the Qing Dynasty?

This is not to say that Ma Shiying has really become a Buddha immediately, but that Ma Shiying is much smarter than these two people.

During these days around Wu Zheng, Ma Shiying knew Wu Zheng's strength very well.

The battle in Shaoxing Prefecture was almost fought under Ma Shiying's nose. Ma Shiying never thought that Hong Chengchou and Chen Zilong could defeat Wu Zheng by using conspiracies.

"They are seeking death."

Ma Shiying smiled and told Wu Zheng about the situation.

Wu Zheng yawned, but he did not go to bed, but was chatting with Qian Sule, who was planning to accompany Wu Zheng until dawn.

When Wu Zheng heard that Ma Shiying came to see him late at night, he felt that something must be a big deal.

Qian Sule was naturally tactful and proposed to avoid it in another side.

But Wu Zheng had no intention of this and kept Qian Sule.

This made Qian Sule's heart feel much brighter.

When Ma Shiying came in, she saw Qian Sule present, she was shocked and started to squeak and kept winking at Wu Zhengshi.

However, Wu Zheng seemed to have not seen it, so he asked Ma Shiying why he came late at night.

Seeing that Wu Zheng had no intention of letting Qian Sule avoid it, Ma Shiying had to briefly talk about Chen Hongfan and Qian Qianyi's visit in front of Qian Sule.
