Zhao Nanxing waved his hand. "Mr. Ye is not my Donglin lineage, so don't invite him today. I won't come even if I invite him."

After saying that, Zhao Nanxing said to the middle-aged man, "I'm sharing it! Why did Wenru sit there?"

The middle-aged man quickly stood up and replied, "Reply to the teacher. I asked Wen Ru to sit at our table just now, but he had to say that he was of a small grade and could not be overstepping."

Zhao Nanxing said, "They are all from our Donglin lineage today, and they are all family members. Our party is at most a family gathering. Where do we come from so many rules? According to the rank, wouldn't I, a rankless old man, stand outside the door?"

Everyone laughed after hearing Zhao Nanxing's words.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man named Gongzhi hurriedly got up and went to Yang Lian's table over there and invited Yang Lian over.

Only then did Yu Ren realize that Wenru was Yang Lian's name.

"Who is he?" Yu Ren asked Zhao Rui in a low voice.

"Don't you know? He is the famous master Zuo Guangdou, a sharp knife in our Donglin Party! Last time, Li Xuanshi refused to leave in the Ganqing Palace, and it was a memorial from Lord Zuo that drove her out. Only then did we have to ascend the throne successfully!"

Yu Ren nodded and realized that this was Zuo Guangdou's font size.

Yang Lian was invited to the main table in the center by Zuo Guangdou. Everyone gave in a humble moment, and Yang Lian finally sat down.

Zhao Nanxing waited for Yang Lian to sit down and said, "Wenru! You shouldn't be like this! Although you are not of high rank now, we all know that you are the major pillars in our Donglin Party! Even the Emperor could see it at a glance, so he summoned you and several adults to entrust your orphans to entrust you to the orphans before his death.

If you hadn't sacrificed your life to fight, the emperor wouldn't have had a good day to sit in the dragon court now. I guess, within a month, the emperor will definitely be rewarded. With your achievements, the emperor will recommend you to the cabinet, which is not a waste!"

After hearing Zhao Nanxing's words, Yang Lian stood up quickly and said he was frightened.

Zhao Nanxing asked him to sit down. At this time, the waiters started serving the dishes. Everyone ate and chatted.

The people upstairs took turns to Zhao Nanxing's table to toast. Then the people downstairs also went upstairs to toast Zhao Nanxing's table.

Although Zhao Nanxing has the most qualifications and reputation among all, there are more people coming to toast Yang Lian today than Zhao Nanxing.

Zhao Nanxing saw it, but there was no displeasure.

After drinking, Zhao Nanxing led Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian, Wang Wenyan and others to the third floor.

Yu Ren and Zhao Rui looked at each other, and Zhao Rui quickly followed him quietly and said a few words in Wang Wenyan's ear.

Back at the table, Yu Ren whispered to Zhao Rui, "What did you tell your cousin?"

Zhao Rui's face was red, but she lowered her head and whispered, "I won't tell you!"

When Yu Ren saw Zhao Rui's expression, he knew that what she and Wang Wenyan were talking about must be her marriage with her. So he stopped asking more questions.

After a while, Wang Wenyan came down from the third floor again. He came to Yu Ren's table and said to Yu Ren, "Come with me."

Yu Ren was really surprised to see Wang Wenyan calling him suddenly. He saw that all those who went up to the third floor were important members of the Donglin Party. At this time, Wang Wenyan actually asked him to go up too, and he couldn't guess what it was for.

Of course, Yu Ren knew that on such occasions, neither Yang Lian nor Zhao Nanxing would mention his marriage to Zhao Rui. You should know that the Donglin Party’s lifelong desire is to support the country. At such an important gathering, no one would bring out his family affairs, and Zhao Nanxing, as a giant in Donglin, naturally would not.

So, what did they call themselves for? Yu Ren couldn't guess it for a moment. So he asked softly in Wang Wenyan's ear, "Brother Wang, do you know what the elders call me for?"

Wang Wenyan leaned into Yu Ren's ear and whispered, "Several lords are discussing the situation in Liaodong upstairs. Lord Yang said that you have a very thorough understanding of Liao affairs and have a very unique understanding, so my uncle asked me to ask you to go up and ask questions.

You have to deal with it carefully. My uncle has just seen you and cousin Rui sitting in the same place. He asked you to go up, and he must have the intention of testing you. If you pass this level today and satisfy him, then your marriage with Ruirui will be easy to discuss in the future. If you can't pass this level today, then your marriage with Ruirui will be in lingering. So, I'll give you a clear idea in advance.

The focus of the discussion among all the adults is whether to change the current Liaodong governor Xiong Tingbi. My uncle's opinions tend to change. You must remember that when they ask you about this, you must follow your uncle's opinions. In this way, your marriage with Ruirui will be smooth."

Yu Ren didn't say anything.

Wang Wenyan led Yu Ren to a private room on the third floor. At this time, several important members of the Donglin Party were sitting in the private room, one was the Donglin master Zhao Nanxing, the other was the current Minister of Personnel Zhou Jiamo, and the other was Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou respectively.

Seeing Wang Wenyan leading Yu Ren in, Zhao Nanxing looked up and down at Yu Ren, and then asked him, "I heard from Wenru, do you know a lot about Liao incident?"

Yu Ren didn't dare to say anything. Although he knew something about Liaodong, he had never been to Liaodong in person. Most of these things were heard from Cao Wenzhao. When he saw Zhao Nanxing asking, he had to answer truthfully. "It's just a matter of hearing. He dare not speak out."

When Zhao Nanxing heard this, his face looked a little unfavorable.

"Wenru said that you have a very deep understanding of Liaoshi and strongly recommend it to us. Please join us in today's discussion. What do you say is just hearing about?"

Yang Lian also stood up when he heard Yu Ren's answer, "You don't have to be too humble. I once heard Rui'er say that you recommended Xiong Manzi to Juer in Hangzhou more than a year ago, which gave us a relatively stable situation in Liaodong today."

Only then did Yu Ren realize that it was Yang Lian recommended himself to Zhao Nanxing, but the origin was his discussion with Yang Ju in Hangzhou.

Hearing this, Yu Ren quickly said to Yang Lian, "It's not the Lord Xiong I recommended to Brother Yang. I haven't even heard of Lord Xiong's name at the beginning, so how could I recommend him to Brother Yang? At that time, because it was the defeat of Sarhu, several of us friends discussed the situation in Liaodong together.

I just expressed my point to Brother Yang, believing that Liaodong at that time could not be too hasty and was elected as a mature and steadfast person, and then he stabilized the crisis.

Then Brother Yang thought of Lord Xiong Tingbi.”

After hearing this, Zhao Nanxing's face calmed down a little. "So, do you still know Liaodong very well? How long have you been in Liaodong?"

"When I say that to you, I have never been to Liaodong."

When Zhao Nanxing heard this, he suddenly retaken a photo of the case. "Good boy, then what you call the strategy of using defense instead of attack is all your guesses out of thin air?"

Yu Ren had already seen Zhao Nanxing get angry twice, and he was no longer panicked. He said calmly, "That's not. Although I have never been to Liaodong, I met a friend who grew up in Liaodong when I was in Fujian. His father was a garrison in Fushun City. Later, Nurhaci conquered Fushun City, Li Yongfang surrendered, and his father was also killed.

He told me about the situation in Liaodong. Then, based on the situation of each party, I finally analyzed the strategy of using defense instead of offense."

After hearing Yu Ren's words, Zhao Nanxing stopped speaking. Yang Lian asked, "So, what do you think about the current situation in Liaodong? Do you still need to continue to use defense instead of attack?"

Although Yu Ren had never been to Liaodong in person, he knew the interests of the Jurchens very well. Although Xiong Tingbi had been here for two years, if he had the strength to fight against the Jurchens, Yu Ren would never believe it.

So, when Yu Ren heard Yang Lian ask this question to him, he said without hesitation, "Of course we still need to continue to persevere!"

Zhao Nanxing shook his head and suddenly interrupted and asked, "So, when do you think we can really compete with the Jurchens to regain the lost territory?"

Yu Ren lowered his head and thought, "If it's good, it will take at least twenty years! This is under normal circumstances."

Zhao Nanxing finally couldn't help it, "Fuck. As you say, the Liaodong territory is thrown away in the hands of our generation, and it depends on our next generation to take them back? Then how will future generations write about us in the future?"
