    Revisiting the old place, less than an hour after entering Tianjin City, Tang Zihe got on his horse and left in a hurry.

    He looked back at this familiar city with nostalgia. Every corner of it was covered with traces of love and hate. As he moved further and further away, the distant city seemed to turn into his smile, lonely and proud, quiet.  Jing stood on the seaside, silently showing her the promise he had made, as indestructible as the bluestone on the city wall.

    When he turned around and looked forward, Tang Zihe's face showed great determination.

    For more than a year, she has been on the road, moving from Bazhou to the capital, and from the capital to Jiangxi. After the Zhu Chenhao rebellion was put down by the court, she quietly escaped, as if another invisible thread was pulling her  She finally couldn't help but ride back to Tianjin.

    She wanted to see her hometown, the eaves where she once lived with him, and see if the wintersweet tree in the courtyard of the government office had bloomed again this year. She wanted to stand under the wintersweet tree with a smile and recall the time when a needle pierced it.  Behind him, there was a sad farewell that immobilized him

    Full of memories of the past, it was another season of snow and winter plum blossoms in bloom. Tang Zihe came back quietly. However, she had no time to find traces of memories, so she had to leave quickly.

    How could she just sit back and watch when Qin Kan was in trouble?

    She doesn¡¯t understand the fights in the court. It¡¯s a man¡¯s business, but the one party fighting is her man!

    From just a few words from the two tea guests, she had a premonition that something was not good. She felt the same way when Qin Kan led a hundred thousand troops to surround Bazhou. Her feelings never lied to her.

    When he is surrounded by enemies, she must go back. She must be among the people who go through the trouble with him.

    ***************************************************  ******************

    The capital is Ningguo Gongfu.

    Xu Pengju sat cross-legged on the heated kang, his lips moving up and down quickly. Although the young master was a foodie, his eating habits were very elegant. This was inseparable from the good tutoring in the Duke's mansion. No matter how much he liked food, he was not allowed to behave like this.  The native dog licked and gnawed it as if it had found a bone.

    The way Xu Pengju eats is very sacred. He usually holds the food with both hands, stares at it with shining eyes, and then bites it down with piety. While chewing the food in his mouth, he keeps looking up and looking around, with a faint look in his eyes.  He was very alert, as if someone would rush out at any moment and snatch something away from him.

    Qin Kan sat on the chair with his legs crossed and looked at him with a smile. It was more interesting to watch Xu Pengju eat than to eat it himself, like a squirrel chewing nuts, so cute and cute.

    Xu Pengju ate eggs. Qin Kan accidentally invented tea eggs a few days ago out of curiosity. Tea eggs did not exist in this era. They were a very new thing. After they were cooked, they were cold soaked for four or five hours. The taste was just right and fragrant.  time.

    Xu Pengju would never refuse novel food. Qin Kan suspected that even if the dog poop was put on the plate in a unique way, he would still swallow it without hesitation, let alone the fragrant tea eggs. It was the first time he saw it.  Shi's eyes shone brightly, he ate four of them without saying a word, and now he started striving for the fifth one.

    "Well¡ª¡ª"

    While eating, Xu Pengju suddenly rolled his eyes and opened his mouth wide.

    Qin Kan made a gesture calmly, and the maid holding cold water on the side quickly handed the water to Xu Peng's mouth, and then patted him on the back vigorously. It took him a while to catch his breath.

    "You didn't make such a delicious thing earlier. Your conscience was eaten by a dog?" After he recovered, the young father-in-law had a bad temper.

    Qin Kan sighed: "Aren't you eating eggs? Why are you thinking about my conscience again? Young Master, this is your fifth one. Eating one of these occasionally is just for fun. Eating too much is not good for the body. Enough is enough.  That¡¯s it.¡±

    "If you want to eat, please stop worrying and ask your cook to make another pot. I will take it home to eat." Xu Peng raised his mouth and continued to eat. He said vaguely: "I only have this kind of elegance left in my life."  Well, whoever stops me is my sworn enemy."

    Xu Peng raised his mouth and opened and closed it, but there was a kind of confusion in his eyes that he could not see the future.

    He had good luck in his previous life and after his death. He got a good fetus during the random assignment. He was born with no shortage of money and food and clothing. He also had a title that he had been waiting for for more than a hundred years, just waiting for him to inherit it. If he didn't have the desire to rebel and become the emperor, he wouldn't be able to do it.  If something unexpected happens, the title of nobility in this life will come to an end. Qin Kan sometimes puts himself in Xu Pengju's shoes and thinks about it. He really feels that there are really no challenges in this life. Such a life is really very happy.

    ¡°After swallowing a few tea eggs, a foodie like the young father-in-law would not dare to eat more for fear of choking to death.

    After taking a few sips of tea, Xu Pengju burped and said slowly: "The capital is not peaceful these days. You won't"?Feel it?  A few days ago, during the court meeting in the Golden Palace, King Liao pointed the finger at you. Although you were able to get past it, the matter is not over yet. I guess they have new tricks up their sleeves"

    Qin Kan smiled bitterly and said: "Even people like you can see the clues. It seems that I really have a steel knife on my neck this time"

    Xu Pengju said dissatisfied: "What do you mean by a person like me? Even a blind man can see that something is wrong. Don't you know who those civil servants are? Now that this matter has begun, they will not let it go until they kill you."  .¡±

    Qin Kan sighed: "Am I so annoying? In the past few years since I entered the court, I have been as gentle and polite as jade. I have never taken away the wives and concubines of civil servants, and I have never dug up their ancestral graves"

    After a pause, Qin Kan's tone suddenly became hesitant: "It's debatable whether I dug up their ancestral graves or not Well, even if I dig up their ancestral graves, what else have I done to offend them? It's simply  It¡¯s so unreasonable!¡±

    Xu Pengju¡¯s eyes widened in surprise: ¡°You¡¯ve even dug up someone¡¯s ancestral grave, and you still have the nerve to look innocent?¡±

    "But before I dig my ancestors' graves, I usually speak my mind" Qin Kan spoke plausibly and seemed like a gentleman.

    Xu Pengju sighed: "Do you know why I came to your house today?"

    ¡°As expected, I should have come here specifically to eat tea eggs¡­¡±

    "Your mouth will make people mad to death This matter is very serious. Don't take it lightly. The civil servants don't know what kind of medicine they took. We are just getting a small share of the huge profits from shipping. The Ming Dynasty has such a large territory.  There is endless money to be made. Who among us nobles has not done this kind of business in partnership with merchants before? I really can¡¯t understand why they have to go to war this time."

    Qin Kan sighed: "The drunkard's intention is not to drink. The civil servants are not only concerned about us making money from shipping. They think even further. First, this time I will take the initiative to join forces with the capital and Nanjing nobles to participate."  There are a total of dozens of big and small companies involved in our business. In the past, you nobles also did it privately, but they all worked independently to make money. Now this force has been twisted together by me. Do you know that there are dozens or hundreds of companies?  How powerful is the power of the government? It is enough to pose a threat to the civil servant group. Nowadays, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together. How can the civil servants be willing to see another force rise out of nowhere to compete with them or even replace them?  "

    Xu Pengju was surprised and said: "They actually think so far-reaching?"

    "We are all people who have spent half their lives in the court. Their short-sighted eyes have long been washed away by the waves. Who doesn't have the vision to see a hundred steps with one step? The ministers, regardless of whether they are involved in shipping in private, are all pointing their fingers at me.  The reason is that we are afraid of the power of the nobles twisting into a rope."

    Qin Kan sneered several times and continued: "Secondly, the civil servants did not allow us nobles to build ships and go to sea. On the surface, they did not want their own personal profits to be shared. In fact, they had already seen through this time we were building ships and recruiting troops and artillery during the Ming Dynasty.  My idea is that going to sea to make profits is false, but opening a sea ban is true. If the Ming Dynasty really opens a sea ban, everyone will be able to build ships and go to sea to trade with vassal countries. At that time, the advantages of civil servants and scholar-bureaucrats will not exist. A group of people who only know how to use power for personal gain.  Cystocystis, what ability do they have to compete with merchants all over the world?"

    Xu Pengju thought thoughtfully: "So this time the civil servants went to war against you and wanted to get rid of you quickly, just to kill the signs that would be detrimental to them and continue to maintain the century-old interests of civil servants?"

    Qin Kan sighed: "If their interests are maintained, the national destiny of our Ming Dynasty will be in decline. In the final analysis, this dispute between me and the civil servants is actually a dispute between personal interests and national destiny. They and I have no other choice.  We can collide head-on and see who has the last laugh.¡±

    Xu Pengju had a gloomy look on his face. He pondered for a long time and said slowly: "I came today to tell you some bad news. In the past few days, I have been playing with many noble family members in the capital, and I heard a piece of news.  Many of the elders are ready to retreat. After all, the civil servants are coming this time. The titles of the nobles are all obtained by their ancestors who fought hard a hundred years ago. The family's business is deeply rooted and luxuriant. They cannot afford to take this risk"

    Qin Kan sighed.

    Any interest group is the same. They can only share wealth and wealth, but cannot share hardships. They are never monolithic.

    Xu Pengju looked a little embarrassed as he spoke, and said rather ashamedly: "My grandfather heard about the capital from somewhere, and sent an eight-hundred-mile horseman to convey a message to me. The Duke of Wei will not be involved in the matter of building a ship and going to sea together.  , we will wait until the situation in the capital becomes clearer in the future"

    Qin Kan stared at Xu Pengju and said, "What about you? What do you think?"

    Xu Pengju suddenly puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Of course I'm on your side! I burned the letter my grandpa sent me after reading it. How can we not be friends when we are friends? We stick together when we are rich, but stay apart when we are in trouble.  Relationship, I, Xu Pengju, can¡¯t do this kind of thing!¡±

    Qin Kan was moved. Although a foodie is a foodie, at least he is a loyal foodie.

    "Having a close friend in life is nothing to regret."  In order to reward his confidant, Qin Kan decided to set up an altar in the inner courtyard of his home tonight, praying for divine thunder from heaven, so that Mr. Xu could be among the immortals as soon as possible, and that Mr. Xu could inherit the title as soon as possible
