Zhou Zijin also went to Hangzhou City with Pei Yan.
The relationship between Zhou Zijin and the Zhang family is very good.
His father used to be in the same department and colleagues as Zhang Ying. Later, Zhang Ying offended the emperor because of the abolition of the empress. It was Zhou Zijin's father who helped him run around so that he was not demoted to Qiongzhou to go fishing. When Zhang Ying was falsely accused and unable to prove his innocence, it was Zhou Zijin's father who came forward to help him take the blame, and was demoted as a citizen because of this, never to be hired. It can be said that Zhang Ying has half of the credit for Zhou Zijin's father.
Fortunately, Zhou Zijin's father is open-minded, and the Zhou family has several generations of rich people. He has no intention of official career. After being demoted, not only did he not feel decadent, but he felt that the sea and the sky would be brighter from then on, and he was allowed to roam freely. It took him twenty years. Time has traveled all over the country, but he is only three years older than Zhang Ying, but he looks like a young man. Now he is instructing several grandsons to write the biography of the knight-errant, preparing to write a book and write a story, and become a great scholar who will leave a long history.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhou Zijin and Pei Yan have a very close relationship.
They originally belonged to the same side.
If Pei Yan had something to do, he wouldn't deliberately hide it from Zhou Zijin.
In particular, Zhou Zijin knew all kinds of teachings and nine streams, and he was also good friends with Wang Qibao. If he wanted to follow him during the trip to Hangzhou, Pei Yan would definitely not refuse.
Zhou Zijin read the content on the note, and couldn't help but sighed, and said, "What is he going to do? Mr. Shen is fighting every day with trepidation, just wanting to retire in peace. I think he is picking up soft persimmons. Don't wait until the time comes." Just capsize in the gutter."
Pei Yan raised her eyebrows.
At the beginning, Mr. Shen was able to take the position because Li Xun and Jiang Hua fought too hard and angered the emperor. The emperor simply let Mr. Shen, who has the most seniority but the weakest ability, be the chief assistant.
It is also a kind of check and balance.
Zhou Zijin said: "A person who can be the chief assistant, who doesn't have two brushes? Even if he can kill others and get promoted, that's a skill! Don't say anything else, he must have a big heart, otherwise how can he be accepted?" Get those idleness? You know, being able to suffer anger without getting angry is not something everyone can do."
Pei Yan agrees with this.
He thought for a while and said, "Then what should we do about this matter?"
It's not that Pei Yan has no idea, it's just that this matter involves the Zhang family. They don't know Zhang Ying's attitude. How can he help the Zhang family make a decision
Zhou Zijin sighed: "I have to report a letter to Mr. Shen anyway. Speaking of which, Mr. Shen is quite a good person. When I was in the Hanlin Academy, I was once protected by his old man. As for the matter of Gaoyou, It was originally intended to cover up the case of the third prince, if Sun Gao exposes this matter at this time, how will he end up? He is not afraid of angering the emperor? Or, what alternatives does he have?"
Pei Yan was also puzzled, but he had a rather unexpected idea. He smiled and said, "Why don't we invite Gu Chaoyang over? It's better to let their master's affairs be resolved by their own people."
Gu Chaoyang was also unlucky, so he got a teacher like Sun Gao. He has always wanted to keep a distance from Sun Gao, but unfortunately he failed.
Maybe this time Gu Chaoyang can really get away with Gao You's case.
Zhou Zijin knew what Pei Yan was implying. He grinned and blinked at Pei Yan, a little afraid that the world would not be chaotic and said: "I think this idea is good! We can also take this opportunity to throw the pot in the On Gu Chaoyang. Let others think that Sun Gao and the others are fighting in their own nest." At this point, he thought of Pei Yan's "fairy" operation, and hurriedly said, "You tell me the truth, why did you expect Peng Yu to stare at you?" Senior brother’s position. I have thought about it, but I can’t figure it out. If Peng Yu is staring at other people’s positions, I believe it. But senior brother, he is the direct son and grandson of the Zhang family. Zhang Shibo is still a dragon and horse spirit, so he is not afraid of the Zhang family’s position. What's more, Peng Yu visited Zhang Shibo a few days ago, and wanted to marry a girl from the Zhang family for his eldest son... "
Without Yu Tang's "dream", Pei Yan felt that she would never have dreamed of it.
But how could he explain this to Zhou Zijin.
He is not afraid of being criticized by others, but he does not want Yu Tang to be looked at differently.
Pei Yan said vaguely: "I just think the behavior of the Peng family is a bit strange, and it's just a precautionary measure. It's a mistake, and I discovered Sun Gao's behavior."
Zhou Zijin didn't think much about it.
Sometimes, some people's intuition is more powerful than speculation and foresight.
Pei Yan is also a scheming person, his intuition must be stronger than others.
Zhou Zijin is a "crazy man", and he will make something out of nothing, and it's rare that Pei Yan is scheming, he suddenly became excited, volunteered to pat his chest and said: "I'll write a letter to Gu Chaoyang and get him to Hangzhou. "
With Zhou Zijin's help, things will be more secure.
Pei Yan nodded, and talked about Wang Qibao: "I think he came here for the second prince. Money is a trivial matter, and I mainly want to see what the big families in the south of the Yangtze River mean. I think it should be like what my teacher said, Stay neutral. It doesn't matter who is the emperor, as long as it doesn't harm our interests." Then he smiled pointedly at Zhou Zijin, "It's a good thing for Sun Gao to jump out at this time. Didn't Gu Chaoyang say that he Do you have any evidence in hand? Whether it is true or not, I think we should push this matter to Sun Gao. His jumping around in the past few years is quite annoying."
Zhou Zijin smiled and said: "You and I want to go together. When you go to see Wang Qibao later, I won't go with you. You take the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with him and see what he is going to do. We promise directly Help him. Don’t drive him to Guangzhou. Isn’t Tao Qing in Lin’an? I’ll write to Gu Chaoyang and you to Tao Qing. I’ll be in charge of Sun Gao and you in charge of Wang Qibao. The matter is over. Zhang Shibo’s sixty-fifth birthday this year, my father is planning to go to Beijing with me, and I have to wait for the old man to go to Beijing! Don’t let us all fall into this matter.”
Zhang Ying's birthday is in December.
Pei Yan and Zhou Zimei discussed some details and went back to their houses to get busy.
Who knew that waking up overnight would change the sky.
Eight hundred miles from Jiangxi sent an urgent letter, saying that Zhang Shao unfortunately fell into the water and drowned when he went to Jiujiang to inspect the spring plowing.
Pei Yan draped his clothes and sat on the head of the bed, but he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
How could this be
Zhang Shao is the eldest son of Zhang Ying and the heir of the Zhang family.
People are bound to die.
But Pei Yan never thought that Zhang Shao would die like this.
"Master Zhang really fell into the water and drowned?" Pei Yan opened his eyes wide, read the letter carefully from beginning to end again, and asked Pei Qi who came in with the letter.
Pei Qi knew that the matter was of great importance, so she looked tense, and said, "I asked carefully, it was really an accident. Those who didn't plan to take the road to Jiujiang were originally decided by Master Zhang. At the same time, those who fell into the water also There is Mr. Zhang’s master. The prefect of Jiujiang was frightened and stupid. He discussed with his staff all night, but he didn’t know how to explain to Mr. Zhang, so he wrote a letter to you and Mr. Jiang first... "
Pei Yan is a closed disciple, like the youngest son, the most favored. Jiang Hua is Zhang Ying's best disciple at present, like the eldest son. Of course, the prefect of Jiujiang hoped that these two people would come forward to help him bear the burden when he had no choice.
Pei Yan read the letter again, and there was a "buzz" in his head before it exploded.
What Ms. Yu said before about the governor of Jiangxi may now be true.
In normal times, Peng Yu would not have dared to poach the corner of the Zhang family. But now, Zhang Shao passed away suddenly, and the position of governor of Jiangxi became vacant. Everyone must be attacking him in groups, trying every means to get this position.
If there is no warning from Ms. Yu, the benefactor is old and loses his son, they are seniors or juniors, they must be busy comforting the living, busy with Zhang Shao's funeral, busy arranging Zhang Shao's funeral, how can they have the energy to take care of it? Who took over the governor of Jiangxi.
And in the eyes of the Zhang family, or in his eyes, the governor of Jiangxi is important, but not so important that he has to arrange his own people.
The official career is treacherous, and the iron-clad officials in the yamen, whoever does what position, also has luck in it.
But according to what Ms. Yu said, because Peng Yu became the governor of Jiangxi, the Li family and the Li family's in-laws, the Lin family, both bought farms in Jiangxi and started a grain business with the Pei family.
This is equivalent to the Pei family opening a mountain, and they follow to collect grain.
If the relationship between the two families is good, that's all. Under the circumstances that the Li family has always wanted to replace the Pei family, the Pei family still took their family to make a fortune. Pei Yan thinks that he does not have such a good temper and mind.
He suddenly understood why Yu Tang was staring at the Li family and not letting go.
Pei Yan walked back and forth in the inner room with her shoes on.
The situation cannot be allowed to continue like this.
No wonder Li Duan was able to revive the family business in Yu Tang's dream, and the Peng family became the largest family in Fujian.
As the governor of Jiangxi, Peng Yu is eligible to compete for the six ministers, and he may be appointed as the minister.
There are only so many resources in Jiangnan. If the Peng family occupies more, they will occupy less.
There is also the City Ship Division.
The Peng family may have an influence on which shipping company will eventually be abolished.
If the Shibo Secretary in Quanzhou is retained, all the things they are doing now will be in vain.
Pei Yan asked the servant to help her get dressed, and handed the letter to Pei Qi: "Show it to Zhou Zhuangyuan. Let him come to my side for breakfast."
Pei Qi ran away in a hurry.
Pei Yan looked up and saw the manjulan and ground lotus drawn with gold powder on the blue-green beams in the room.
He went under the beam.
Is it really the blessing of the Bodhisattva? !
Their family invited eminent monks to give lectures at Zhaoming Temple, and then Ms. Yu had that dream.
Is Bodhisattva hinting at his future through Ms. Yu's mouth
In other words, the second prince is the real son.
He carefully recalled the words Yu Tang told him.
Pei Yan suddenly felt flustered and short of breath.
According to Ms. Yu, Peng Shiyi wanted to kill her!
A thought flashed across his chest, like a big stone was pressed against his chest.
"Ah Qi, Ah Qi!" Pei Yan called Pei Qi's name loudly.
Zhao Zhen walked in quickly and said, "Ah Qi went to Zhou Zhuangyuan's place. Do you have any orders, can I do it?"
