No matter how nice Chen Weizhong said this, no one who listens to it will be happy.

Qian Qianyi sneered and said, "Even if his career is bumpy, I am dedicated to serving the country and have never compromised with the power and traitor of the eunuch party."

His words were both dismissed from office as the leader of Donglin and the eunuchs, and it also seemed to be ridiculing Chen Weizhong for surrendering to the "power traitor".

Chen Weizhong smiled bitterly.

He could not say, "The King of Jin has already received the secret letter you sent out, you are finished."

This is a secret matter.

He had to think about it and advised: "Mr. Qian should know that the court will soon implement a new policy in Jiangnan. If you don't mention other regulations, just say that the imperial examination will be abolished, Qian will be placed on the fire. If you do not retreat as soon as possible, Jiangnan Shilin will force you to come forward and fight with the court..."

"You know you are worried now?" Qian Qianyi asked back: "When you use any means to recover your debts, why didn't you expect that Jiangnan would be filled with grievances?!"

"The public is full of grievances? Why did Mr. Qian say this?" Chen Weizhong said: "The purpose of pursuing accumulated debts is to balance the tax system so that the poor do not have to pay more, and the rich make up for the amount they should pay..."

"Absolutely nonsense!"

Qian Qianyi was already excited, raised his hand and pointed at Chen Weizhong, and cursed: "You have tried your best to force the collection, and the methods are fierce. The people dare to be angry but dare not speak out. The people are exhausted, but they still say that the poor don't have to pay too much? Why are there any accumulated debts if they can afford it?"

"Only if you have the power to bribe officials, you can accumulate..."

"You are deceiving the world and destroying ancestors, and you openly break the thousand-year rules, and ignore the saints' benevolent policies. The crimes are pointed out, and the people's sentiments are boiling! Those who study are the pillars of the family and the country. You are arbitrarily bullying, insulting all your courtesy and destroying all your decent! The autocratic policy is terrifying!"

"Mr. Qian..."

"Shut up! Others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you! I have read the books of sages all my life. When the rules and benevolent policies of thousands of years are about to be destroyed, when will I stand up again? Don't say one more thing, I, Qian Qianyi, would rather die than follow the fierce tyranny of you."

...

Qian Qianyi didn't believe that Chen Weizhong was kind-hearted to remind himself.

In his opinion, Chen Weizhong must have been hoping that he would die sooner, but because of his outstanding reputation, he did not dare to take action.

As for the other party invited him out to chat today, Qian Qianyi thought... this was a test.

Wang Xiao asked Chen Weizhong to preside over the implementation of the new policy. Chen Wei had concerns in the center and did not dare to implement it rashly. He first tested the attitude of the gentry in Jiangnan, which led to today's invitation.

Yes, that must be the case.

Qian Qianyi therefore believed that he could not give in at all at this time, and he must make a clear attitude.

He wanted to show the firm position of the gentry in Jiangnan and the literary scholars, and perhaps Chen Weizhong and even Wang Xiao would retreat.

Therefore, he seemed extremely strong. After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and turned around and left.

——Hmph, let you know today that the Thousand Years of Hadith cannot be changed easily. In the future, Zheng Zhilong will recover Nanjing and let you know what the people mean. If you go against the will of the people, you will be punished by heaven...

~~

After meeting this day, Qian Qianyi became more and more disgusted with Chen Weizhong.

Of course, he would not arrange for someone to kill Chen Weizhong.

This is not something that a famous Shilin leader like him can do.

With his reputation, he always pays attention to doing things with less effort.

For example, Qian Qianyi supported Emperor Longchang, but he was just expressing his opinion, but Zheng Yuanhua had to give him the position of Shangshu;

He supported Zheng Zhilong and all he did was to write a few letters. But as long as Zheng Zhilong succeeded, he would be the most important contributor.

This is the power of reputation. If you do a little trick, you will gain great rewards.

As for what to do, such as organizing assassins to assassinate Wang Xiao like Wen Rongxiu, Qian Qianyi would not do such things because he had to work hard and had to take big risks, which would be half the result with twice the effort.

The same principle is, if you really do something to Chen Weizhong, you will ruin your reputation in vain but you will not get any benefits, Qian Qianyi will be disdainful of it.

What he was more concerned about was the intelligence in the south.

When Zheng Zhilong accomplishes his career, he will become the first civil servant of Nan Chu. By then, Chen Weizhong will be just a loser at his feet.

Finally, on October 15th, news came that Zheng Zhilong had welcomed Emperor Feng Longchang in early October, and swore to go on an expedition, leading a large army of water and land to fight north, hoping to recover Nanjing...

Qian Qianyi was ecstatic when he learned about this.

By November, news came again that Zheng Zhilong Navy had arrived in Zhoushan.

Qian Qianyi felt that the big thing had been decided and finally stopped to thank the guests.

On November 8th, someone suddenly visited Qian's house and claimed to be his student, saying that he had something to ask for.

Qian Qianyi received the reply and thought to himself, so he went to the lobby to meet the other person.

But as soon as both sides met, he was still stunned and exclaimed: "How could it be you?! Haven't you left Nanjing?"

The young man in the hall turned his head. Although he had disguised himself, he could still tell that it was Uncle Ma...

Ma Shumu did not come alone, and there was a tall man dressed in a entourage next to him. He was Gao Linghe, the Jinyiwei of the Northern Chu whom he instigated in June.

Gao Linghe was actually very depressed. He accidentally revealed his flaws at that time and was caught by Ma Shumu. He was coerced and tempted. In desperation, he had to surrender to Ma Shumu.

As a result, after a few days of wealth, Nanchu reached this point in a flash.

But he, a traitor, had no choice but to follow Ma Shumu's path to the end of the darkness.

At this time, Gao Linghe had a dark face, first glanced at Qian Qianyi, then turned his eyes and fell on Qian Qianyi's butler.

"Young Master, it's him, the person from the Jinyiwei."

Qian Qianyi was stunned. Before he could understand what the two were saying, Gao Linghe had already rushed over and showed a dagger in his hand, which made Qian Qianyi's face pale.

The Qian Mansion Manager was a middle-aged scholar in his forties and could not do martial arts, so he had time to shout "Master, save me..." Gao Linghe swung his dagger without hesitation and ended his life.

As blood gradually progressed, Qian Qianyi's heart beat wildly, and his whole body was trembling with fear.

"Ma...Nephew Ma...What are you doing? No matter why you come to my house to kill...Kill people?"

Gao Linghe wiped the butler's clothes with a dagger and said, "Don't be surprised, this person is a secret spy from the Jinyiwei."

Qian Qianyi was shocked again and felt a cold back.

In normal times, a martial artist under Ma Shumu was not qualified to speak directly to a literary giant like Qian Qianyi, but he doesn't care about these things now.

He was only changed as a butler two years ago. At that time, Liu Rushi said that he was a relative of a friend in his boudoir and could trust him.

Looking back now, Zheng Longxu was assassinated two months later. I am afraid that Bei Chu arranged a group of detailed works to Nanjing at that time.

——Yes, that Gu Hengbo is just afraid that he is the friend in the boudoir that he said so?

...

"Mr. Qian." Ma Shumu was always very calm, bowed his hand and said, "It was the Prince of Shaowu who ordered me to come."

"Prince Shaowu?" Qian Qianyi was stunned again.

He quickly realized that Shaowu was located in northern Fujian, and Zheng Zhilong was there to welcome Emperor Longchang.

Sure enough, Ma Shumu said: "Yes, Your Majesty originally wanted to add Duke Zheng to King Zhang, but Duke Zheng refused to accept it. Your Majesty had to pardon him as Prince of Shaowu and recruit the Grand Marshal."

Qian Qianyi was silent for a while and sighed: "Your Majesty is safe."

This sentence has shown some of the feelings.

Ma Shumu smiled and said, "The Prince of Shaowu has led a total of 800,000 troops to the north to fight in the water and land, and has marched to Zhoushan..."

Qian Qianyi cursed in his heart, "You Zheng Zhilong, when the Yangtze River natural danger is still there, I beg you hard, but you refuse to come, and now you are willing to come."

He interrupted Ma Shumu and asked, "800,000, how many people are there?"

"A soldier of 170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0

"real?"

Ma Shumu said: "The cannons and firearms in the county and kings' army are not inferior to those in the Northern Chu."

Qian Qianyi said silently, thinking that Zheng Zhilong didn't say that earlier.

But when Ma Shumu heard him say slowly, "I am here to ask Mr. Zheng, who has disclosed the news to Mr. Zheng in the Northern Chu army?"

"That man? He was not bribed by me, but he was drunk and missed..."
