Chapter 257: Bad news

Zhou Zijin also went to Hangzhou with Pei Yan.

Zhou Zijin's relationship with Zhang's family is very good.

His father was once a fellow and a colleague with 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 so much before he was demoted to Qiongzhou to go fishing. When Zhang Ying was falsely accused of not being able to prove his innocence, it was Zhou Zijin's father who came forward to help him carry the pot, and was demoted to the people and never hired. It can be said that Zhang Ying has today, half the credit of Zhou Zijin's father.

Fortunately, Zhou Zijin’s father was open-minded, and the Zhou family was a wealthy man for several generations. He had no intentions of official career. After being demoted, he was not decadent. On the contrary, he felt that from now on, he was free and comfortable. It took him twenty years. Time has traveled all over the country, but only three years older than Zhang Ying, but like a young man's body, now he is instructing a few grandsons to write a biography of a ranger, preparing to write a book, and become a famous scholar who will stay in history.

This is one of the reasons why Zhou Zijin and Pei Yan are very close.

They originally belonged to the same force.

If Pei Yan had anything to do, he would not deliberately conceal Zhou Zijin.

In particular, Zhou Zijin's three teachings and nine liu are omnipotent, and Wang Qibao is also a good friend. He will follow along on his trip to Hangzhou, and Pei Yan will definitely not refuse.

Zhou Zijin looked at the content on the note and couldn't help sighing, and said, "What is he going to do? Mr. Shen trembles with mud every day, just wanting to be a peaceful and peaceful official. I think he is just picking up persimmons, don’t come. Just capsize in the gutter."

Pei Yan raised his eyebrows.

At the beginning, Lord Shen was able to take the position because Li Xun and Jiang Hua fought too hard and angered the emperor. The emperor simply let the most senior but weakest Shen Shen as the first assistant.

It can be regarded as a kind of checks and balances.

Zhou Zijin said: "Who can be the first assistant, who doesn't have two brushes? Even if it kills others to get promoted, that's a skill! If you don't say anything else, you must have a strong mind, otherwise how can you be able to bear it? Get those idle anger? You know, it’s not something everyone can do if you can be angry without getting angry."

Pei Yan agreed 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, but this matter involves the Zhang Family. They don't know what Zhang Ying's attitude is. How can he help the Zhang Family make decisions?

Zhou Zijin sighed: "Why do you have to send a letter to Lord Shen? Speaking of which, Lord Shen is quite a good person. When I was in the Hanlin Academy, I had been protected by his old man. Let's talk about Gaoyou. Originally, it was to cover up the case of the Three Princes. If Sun Gao stabbed the matter at this time, how would he end up? Isn't he afraid of angering the emperor? Or, what else 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 for them to solve their own problems."

Gu Chaoyang was also unlucky, so he just got on a seat like Sun Gao. He had always wanted to keep a distance from Sun Gao, but unfortunately he failed.

Maybe this time Gu Chaoyang could really get out of Gaoyou's case.

Zhou Zijin knew what Pei Yan was suggesting. He grinned and blinked at Pei Yan, quite a bit afraid that the world would not be chaotic. "I think this is a good idea! We can still take advantage of this opportunity to throw the pot. Gu Chaoyang. Let others think that Sun Gao is fighting in their own nest." At this point, he thought of Pei Yan's "fairy" operation, and said hurriedly, "You tell me the truth, why would you think that Peng Yu would stare? Senior brother’s position. I have to think about it, but I can’t figure it out. If Peng Yu is staring at someone’s position, I believe it. But brother, is the grandson and grandson of the Zhang family, and Zhang Shibo is still alive and well, so he is not afraid of Zhang family’s. People fight back? 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..."

If there was no such "dream" of Yu Tang, Pei Yan felt that she would have never dreamed of it.

But how could he explain this kind of thing to Zhou Zijin.

He is not afraid of being criticized, but he does not want Yu Tang to be looked down upon.

Pei Yan said vaguely: "I just think the Peng family's behavior is a bit strange, and it's just a precaution. It's a mistake, and I discovered Sun Gao's behavior."

Zhou Zijin didn't think much.

Sometimes, some people's intuition is stronger than speculation or prediction.

Pei Yan is a scheming man again, and his instinct must be better than everyone else.

Zhou Zijin is a "crazy man", he has to do something about everything. It's rare for Pei Yan to figure out people. He suddenly became excited and volunteered to pat his chest: "I'll write a letter to Gu Chaoyang and get him to Hangzhou. "

With Zhou Zijin's help, things are more secure.

Pei Yan nodded and talked about Wang Qibao: "I think he came for the second prince. Money is a trivial matter. The main reason is to see what the major families in the south of the Yangtze River mean. I think it should be just like the teacher said. Be neutral. Regardless of who is the emperor, as long as it doesn't harm our interests." Then he smiled pointedly at Zhou Zijin, "It is a good thing for Sun Gao to jump out at this time. Gu Chaoyang didn't mean him. Is there any evidence in hand? Whether it's true or not, I think we should push this incident to Sun Gao. He has been tumbling quite annoyingly these years."

Zhou Zijin smiled and said, "You and I want to go together. When you go to see Wang Qibao later, I won't follow. You take the opportunity to have a good 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 write to Gu Chaoyang, you write to Tao Qing, I am in charge of Sun Gao, you are in charge of Wang Qibao, hurry up and take this one The matter is over. This year Zhang Shibo’s 65th birthday, my father is going to enter Beijing with me, and I have to wait for the old man to enter Beijing! Don’t make us all stuck in this matter."

Zhang Ying's birthday is in December.

Pei Yan and Zhou Ziqi discussed some more details, and went back to the house to be busy.

Who knows that when you wake up overnight, the sky will change.

Eight hundred miles from Jiangxi sent a letter in a hurry, saying that when Zhang Shao went to Jiujiang to inspect spring plowing, he fell into the water and drowned.

Pei Yan was sitting on the head of the bed and did not recover for a long while.

How could this be?

Zhang Shao is Zhang Ying's eldest son and heir to the Zhang family.

People will definitely die.

But Pei Yan never thought that Zhang Shao would die like this.

"Master Zhang really drowned in the water?" Pei Yan opened his eyes wide, read the letter carefully from beginning to end, and asked Pei Qi who came in with the letter.

Pei Qi knew that the matter was important, his expression was tense, and he said: "I have asked carefully, it is really an accident. Originally, Master Zhang decided to go over the Jiujiang section of the road. At the same time, the person who fell into the water was still in the water. There is Master Zhang’s master. The Jiujiang prefect is scared and stupefied. After discussing with his staff all night, he didn’t know how to explain to Master Zhang, and first wrote a letter to you and Master Jiang..."

Pei Yan is a closed disciple, like the youngest son, the most favored. Jiang Hua is Zhang Ying's best disciple, like the eldest son. When the prefect of Jiujiang couldn't help it, of course he hoped that these two people could come forward to help him bear the burden.

Pei Yan read the letter again and exploded with a "buzz" in his head.

What Ms. Yu said before about the governor of Jiangxi can now be matched.

In normal times, Peng Yu would definitely not dare to dig the corner of Zhang's family. But now, Zhang Shao suddenly passed away, and the position of Jiangxi governor was vacant. Everyone must have rallied and attacked, trying every means to get this position.

If there is no warning from Ms. Yu, the mentor’s old bereaved children, those who are brothers or brothers, must be busy comforting the alive, busy burying Zhang Shao, busy arranging Zhang Shao’s funeral, where can they have the energy to manage Who took over the governor of Jiangxi.

And in the eyes of Zhang's family, or in his eyes, the governor of Jiangxi is of course important, not so important that he has to arrange his own people.

Officials with sly official careers, iron-clad yamen and flowing waters, whoever does what position, also has luck in it.

But as Ms. Yu said, because Peng Yu was the governor of Jiangxi, the Li family and the Li family’s in-laws, the Lin family, bought a farm in Jiangxi and started a grain business with the Pei family.

This is equivalent to the Pei family opening the mountain, and they follow to collect grain.

If the relationship between the two is good, it's fine. In the case that the Li family has always wanted to take the Pei family and replace it, the Pei family still takes their family to make a fortune. Pei Yan admits 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 interior with his shoes.

The situation cannot be allowed to continue like this.

It is no wonder that Li Duan can revitalize the family business in Yu Tang's dream, and the Peng family has become the largest family in Fujian.

As the governor of Jiangxi, Peng Yu is qualified to compete for the six ministers, and it is possible to worship each other and join the cabinet.

There are only so many resources in Jiangnan. If the Peng family takes up more, they will take up less.

There is also the Shibo Division.

It is possible that the Peng family will influence which city ship department will eventually be abolished.

If they retain the Shibosi Division in Quanzhou, everything they are doing now will be in vain.

Pei Yan asked Xiaosi to dress herself, and handed the letter in her hand to Pei Qi: "Show it to Zhou Zhuangyuan. Let him come to me for breakfast."

Pei Qi ran away in a hurry.

Pei Yan looked up and saw Wenzhulan and Diyongjinlian outlined with gold powder on the blue-green beams of the room.

He walked under the beam.

Is it really a bodhisattva blessing? !

Their family invited the eminent monk to Zhaoming Temple to give a lecture, and then Miss Yu had that dream.

Is the Bodhisattva hinting at his future through Miss Yu's mouth?

In other words, the second prince is the true emperor.

He carefully recalled what Yu Tang told him.

Pei Yan suddenly felt flustered and short of breath.

According to Miss Yu, Peng Xi wanted to kill her!

The thought flashed past, and his chest was like a big rock.

"Aqi, Aqi!" Pei Yan called Pei Qi's name loudly.

Zhao Zhen walked in quickly and said, "Aqi went to Zhou Zhuangyuan's. Can I do what you have instructed?"
