Chapter 156: Dare not lie down, wait for good news
After the song ended, the crowd dispersed and the scene was in a mess.
Zhu Yi walked over slowly.
"His Highness was worried about Long Wilbur, so he asked me to come and see him."
"He is worried that I will die here!" Jiang Qingzhi smiled. For Prince Jin, it would be better for Jiang Qingzhi, who had seen through his ambition, to die far away. If he died in Taiyuan, the enraged Emperor Jiajing might vent his anger on him.
"Chang Wei Bo is joking." Zhu Yi looked at him, "I feel like Chang Wei Bo seems a little dissatisfied with these scholars?"
Jiang Qingzhi shook his head. "It's nonsense to say that there are no good people in the world's scholars. But it's also nonsense to say that most of them are good people. When they were young and received education, everyone had an innocent dream. Why do most of them become hateful after they grow up?"
Zhu Yi shook her head. She felt that there was a kind of anger in the boy's eyes that was hateful for his not fighting back.
"Ask all the scholars in the world what they were taught by their teachers from the first day they started studying."
"Master."
Sun Chonglou was worried that his young master was tired of standing, so he brought out a chair.
As for Zhu Yi, he was ignored by Sun Chonglou.
Perhaps even if Emperor Jiajing was here, Sun Chonglou would only have his own young master in his eyes.
Jiang Qingzhi sat down without hesitation.
Zhu Yi said, "Isn't it a poem to encourage learning?"
"Can you memorize it?" Jiang Qingzhi asked with a smile, as if to encourage him.
But Dou Jialan swore that what she saw was ridicule.
"A rich family does not need to buy good farmland, as there are thousands of bushels of grain in books. A comfortable home does not need to build a high hall, as there is a golden house in books. Don't be sad that no one accompanies you when you go out, as there are many horses in books. Don't be sad that there is no good matchmaker for you to marry, as there are beautiful women in books. If a man wants to fulfill his life's ambition, he should study the Six Classics diligently in front of the window."
The girl's voice is charming and makes people feel relaxed and happy when listening to it.
"On the first day of school, the teachers told the students that they studied for money, for beauty, for pride, for enjoyment, and for being a superior person."
"Isn't this right?" Zhu Yi asked.
Jiang Qingzhi looked at her and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a fool."
Zhu Yi's face suddenly turned red, and she was angry.
She was about to explode when Jiang Qingzhi said calmly, "Since childhood, we have been taught by teachers and people around us that studying is for fame and fortune, for enjoyment... Then what will these people do after becoming local tyrants and officials?"
Zhu Yi's head suddenly started buzzing.
After an unknown amount of time, she heard someone calling her.
"County Lady! County Lady!"
Zhu Yi opened her eyes and saw that it was her maid.
"County Lady, you have been standing there for a long time."
The maid said angrily, "That long Wilbur didn't even bother to show any concern, and just ran away."
Zhu Yi walked to the front door.
The soldier guarding the gate recognized her and was about to report it.
"No need."
Zhu Yi stopped and squatted.
"I understand."
After hearing the sergeant's report, Jiang Qingzhi said to Hu Zongxian: "I have full confidence in the Ming Dynasty because in this quagmire, there is always a group of people who are worried about this country and are working hard for it."
Their names are: Yang Jisheng, Sun Chengzong, Xia Wanchun...
Zhu Yi returned to the palace and told the story.
"Chang Wei Bo was too cruel." Prince Jin said. Seeing that Zhu Yi was absent-minded, he thought she was frightened by the tragic scene, so he let her go and rest.
Zhu Yi took his leave.
Walking out of the side hall, she looked up at the clear autumn sky.
A flock of wild geese flew slowly by in a V-formation.
A lone bird fell behind, chasing after it in vain...
Zhu Yi whispered, "Is that you?"
In her eyes, Jiang Qingzhi, who dared to fight against the powerful Yan Party and the literati all over the world, was that lone bird.
Alone and powerless!
But the young man did not look back.
That kind of determination made the girl feel an inexplicable sympathy and admiration.
"Changning."
Princess Yong'an climbed the stairs and asked, "I heard that you were going to look for Jiang Qingzhi?"
"Ok!"
"That man is a lucky minister. He relies on the favor of His Majesty and acts arrogantly in the capital. Such people are wanted by everyone in the world. You'd better stay away from him to avoid being implicated."
Princess Yong'an said earnestly.
Changning was usually gentle, but upon hearing that, she slowly shook her head.
There was a cold look on that face.
"He is like a jewel in the sky, a gentleman. Those who slander him behind his back are, of course, villains!"
……
Mr. Jiang didn't know that a young girl had fallen out with her relatives because of him.
He is reading the letter from Fucheng.
Lu Wei sent someone to Jiang's house to ask about his recent situation.
King Jing sent someone to the Jiang family to deliver the latest news.
Most of the Jinyiwei's secret troops in the vicinity were withdrawn.
Xia Yan came to the Jiang family again and said that the Yan Party has been thriving recently.
Prince Yu became silent and studied hard every day.
——Uncle Angelica.
Fu Cheng has always been worried that Jiang Qingzhi would stand on the wrong side, so he does not agree with him teaching the two princes. In the eyes of Fu Cheng, who has experienced palace fighting for a long time, it is best for the Jiang family not to stand on the wrong side.
With the trust of Emperor Jiajing, he was able to gain a foothold.
"Lao Fu, Lao Fu, how do you know that I have no choice?"
Jiang Qingzhi couldn't help but shift his attention to his mind.
The big cauldron turned slowly, and an ancient and desolate atmosphere filled my mind.
Jiang Qingzhi asked, "Uncle Ding, can I quit?"
A murderous atmosphere suddenly came over him, and Jiang Qingzhi quickly explained, "You're just kidding, Master Ding, I was just joking!"
The breath dissipated, as if it had never been there.
But Jiang Qingzhi still felt frightened.
Holy shit! Are you trying to force me?
Jiang Qingzhi's attention was diverted.
Only then did he realize that his back was covered in cold sweat.
Damn it, at that moment just now, Jiang Qingzhi thought he was finished.
After smoking a cigarette, Jiang Qingzhi came back to life.
"Five hundred years... If we can prevent some things that affect the Ming Dynasty, the time will accumulate quickly."
"For example, Japan, and the root cause of the Banzhou Rebellion..."
The three great expeditions of the Wanli period exhausted the last vitality of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that if there had not been the events behind the three great expeditions of the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty would have survived at least a few decades longer.
Then the first step is to conquer Japan!
Jiang Qingzhi wrote it down and thought about it while biting the tip of the charcoal pencil.
——The rebellion of the chieftains of Bozhou.
——Battle of Ningxia.
what else?
——Attack the grassland and destroy Altan.
"And there is the ancestor of Wild Boar Skin!" Jiang Qingzhi thought about it. Nurhaci was not born yet, so he should wipe out his ancestors first.
“What about North Korea?”
Boss Jiang thought of Smecta.
"This is a disgusting existence." Jiang Qingzhi added North Korea to his blacklist without hesitation.
“As if that’s not enough!”
Jiang Qingzhi scratched his head.
"Oh, by the way, how could I forget my biggest enemy?"
Jiang Qingzhi murmured, "What was the biggest cause of the Ming Dynasty's fall? It wasn't the foreign enemies, it was those scholars and officials, those shameless people!"
Not only did they refuse to pay taxes and serve in the military, they also annexed land, exploited local people... and colluded with local officials, making the whole country a chaotic place.
This group of scholars and officials had close ties with the court officials. The two sides joined forces to suppress the emperor, bringing the Ming Dynasty to a point where it was in turmoil.
After the Qing army entered the pass and conquered the capital, this group of so-called gentlemen were still scheming and fighting for power in the south, and were not motivated to make progress.
Jiang Qingzhi fell into deep thought.
"Master."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Qingzhi came to his senses.
"That county lord is here again."
"What do you mean by 'again'? Maybe he has something to do. Can't you be more polite?" Dou Jialan was angry.
"What could it be?" Sun Chonglou said, "Young Master is so handsome. When we were in Suzhou, those women always said they had something to see Young Master, but when they met, they blushed and asked with handkerchiefs... What kind of books are you reading? You should take care of yourself..."
The door opened and Jiang Qingzhi glared at Sun Chonglou.
When she saw Zhu Yi, the girl squatted down and said, "Greetings to Lord Wei."
They were never so polite when they met before... Jiang Qingzhi was startled, wondering if Sun Chonglou was right.
"Thank you for your courtesy, County Lady." Jiang Qingzhi said politely.
Zhu Yi stood up and said, "I am sorry to come here..."
It’s good that you know it...Sun Chonglou looked at Dou Jialan proudly.
You see, I knew these women wanted to eat the young master alive.
Dou Jialan remained silent.
It's really not a good thing to follow a boss who is too handsome.
"Please speak." Jiang Qingzhi said with a smile.
"Princess Yong'an seems to be hostile to you." Zhu Yi said.
"This is how women are in Beijing. Their hostility comes out of nowhere," said Jiang Qingzhi.
"Chang Wei Bo, be careful. Also..." Zhu Yi hesitated, "Many times, I think it's better to keep a distance from the vassal king."
Is this implying to me that King Jin is hostile to me?
Which side is this girl on?
Jiang Qingzhi was delighted and said gratefully, "Thank you very much."
Zhu Yi looked at him deeply and said, "Take care."
"You too."
After saying this, both of them felt something was wrong.
Why does this feel like the atmosphere of a meeting?
Behind him, Sun Chonglou muttered, "It's like a farewell between life and death."
Jiang Qingzhi turned around and slapped him.
Zhu Yi's face was still red after she got on the carriage.
"Is the county lady hot?" The accompanying maid felt strange.
"Yeah! It's a bit hot today." Zhu Yi raised her hand and touched her cheek, feeling inexplicably shy.
The maid touched her face and felt it was slightly cool and very comfortable.
"The princess is really weird."
……
In the Taiyuan Wei camp, Wang Meng and a general were talking.
The general was named Zheng Xiao, and he was the deputy commander of Taiyuan Guard.
Zheng Xiao is a big and strong man, and he looks like a generous person.
But this person spoke in a sinister tone, "He is a killer who kills without blinking an eye! If you are not sure, it is better to wait for the right opportunity."
Wang Meng's back injury had not healed yet, so he sat on one side of his buttocks and had to move from time to time. He said sarcastically, "This is the leader's order. In addition, Jiang Qingzhi has defeated our Holy Church several times and is feeling very proud. Third, he just beat up hundreds of Taiyuan scholars and expelled them from school. This move offended most of Taiyuan City. Now that he is almost alone, it is a good time to take action!"
He sneered: "Are you afraid?"
Zheng Xiao said, "Am I a coward? When I led my people to fight with the leader, you, Wang Meng, were still breastfeeding!"
This bastard... Wang Meng took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, "I said, this is the leader's order."
Zheng Xiao sat down and said, "If you listen to me, this matter will be accomplished."
"You say." Wang Meng softened his tone.
Zheng Xiao said: "Before we start the rebellion, we need to see some action from Altan."
Wang Meng said calmly: "The leader has already arranged this matter."
Zheng Xiao was startled, and said happily: "Why didn't you say it earlier? This way, this matter will definitely be accomplished!"
Wang Meng stood up and said, "Remember, try your best to capture Jiang Qingzhi alive."
"Why?" Zheng Xiao asked.
Wang Meng rubbed his buttocks, "The leader said that Jiang Qingzhi defeated Altan Khan's generals twice, captured him alive, and gave him to Altan Khan. This is a great achievement and honor!"
"Tell the leader!" Zheng Xiao's eyes were shining, as if there was a wildfire burning, "Ask him to prepare a cage and wait for good news!"
