Chapter 667 Talking in the Thatched Cottage

Junshan Island, thatched hut.

Du Yinxi's son, Du Zhonglin, was shocked when he saw Yan Qiheng's arrival. He hurriedly stepped forward to see the gift and invited Yan Qiheng and Xu Keyi to the cottage and bring tea, and then went to invite Du Yinxi.

At this time, Yan Qiheng said, "If County Magistrate Xu has something to do, go and do it first!"

Xu Keyi had heard Yan Qiheng's words before and was about to curry favor with Du Yinxi, so he shook his head and said, "I have nothing to do today, so I will sit with you."

Yan Qiheng put down the teacup, "No! County Magistrate Xu, you have something to do!"

As soon as Xu Keyi sat down, Wen Yu hurriedly stood up, bowed quickly, and sweated on his forehead, "I really have something to do with my job, I really have something to do~"

Xu Keyi reacted and said that Yan Qiheng had something important to talk to Du Yinxi, and did not want him to listen, so he had to leave quickly.

As soon as Xu Keyi left, Du Zhonglin led an old man wearing a hat and cloth clothes to the thatched hut.

The old fisherman was dressed up and was carrying two crucian carp in his hand, which was Du Yinxi.

"Take the soup!" Du Yinxi handed the fish to his wife and came to the cottage.

Yan Qiheng immediately stood up, stepped forward quickly, saluted on one knee, "Good look!"

Du Yinxi held him up and did not let him kneel down, "Zhen Sheng, your court appointed an official, I am a weeding man, so there is no need to be too polite!"

Yan Qiheng said emotionally: "Emma is my old official no matter when."

Du Yinxi said: "Sit down and talk!"

When the two of them sat down, Yan Qiheng couldn't wait to say, "My dear, the direction of the court's stroke has changed."

"Yeah!" Du Yinxi took a sip of the coarse tea and responded casually.

Yan Qiheng knew that the direction of the court had changed, and some people who had been too far away from Du Yinxi buzzed like flies. Du Yinxi naturally knew about the affairs in the court, but he still said: "Since He Tengjiao became the chief minister, he has implemented the policy of peace talks between the north and the south and the north and the internal reduction of the vassals. Now that the reduction of the vassals has failed, the peace talks between the north and the south have been torn apart by the Qing soldiers. He Tengjiao presided over the two major national policies, both of which have gone bankrupt. His Majesty was extremely disappointed with He Tengjiao. Now, although the Qing army has stopped

Bu Jiangbei and Wu Yuefan also reconciled with the court, but the Xichuan soldiers mutinied in Jingzhou and occupied Jingzhou. The court can be said to be a matter of trouble. Now Your Majesty does not want to use He Tengjiao, and the other cabinet ministers in the court have limited capabilities. Although this mutiniation of the Xichuan soldiers was caused by He Tengjiao and Fu Shangruik deducting military funds, the Zhang Pavilion troops proposed to borrow troops from Xichuan. At this time, Your Majesty urgently needed capable ministers to preside over the overall situation of the court. I am afraid that it will not take long to come out!"

Du Yinxi was drinking tea, "It seems that Zhensheng is supporting me to come out of the mountain."

Yan Qiheng said, "Ye Xiang, I thought it would be better to wait a little longer if I go out now and I have to work hard to escape."

Du Yinxi put down his teacup and looked at Yan Qiheng. Yan Qiheng said: "Now the court is in chaos, and the Xichuan soldiers occupy Jingzhou, it is obvious that there have been plans. If the fire in Jingzhou is not handled well, it will not take long, and hundreds of thousands of Xichuan soldiers will be in a hurry."

After several resignations and even nearly died of illness and being demoted to Qiongzhou, Yan Qiheng's heart has changed.

Looking at Du Yinxi, he worked hard for Wang Kuanglan again and again, but he saw that whenever Du Yinxi and his followers made a great situation, he was destroyed by his own hands, Yan Qiheng already had resentment in his heart.

When the imperial court was in a crisis, the emperor used them and the pro-war faction to kick them away once the situation improved and reused treacherous officials such as He Tengjiao.

This behavior of "If you have something to do, you can't help you, and if you have nothing to do, you can't help you" made Yan Qiheng feel disappointed.

This is also the reason why the court revived him and he could not refuse at first.

Yan Qiheng finally made a comeback, one was because Zhu Youjian personally issued an order, two was that he needed a stage to show his ambitions, and three was that after he came back, he could take care of some of his comrades who were punished by He Tengjiao to protect some of his colleagues and disciples.

However, although Yan Qiheng made a comeback, he was no longer as loyal to the Longwu court as before.

Previously, he would be unconditionally loyal to the emperor, but now he is still observing whether the emperor is worth his return, and at the same time he is also observing other potential masters in the world.

If Zhu Youjian was still the same, or Yan Qiheng discovered that there was a lord who was more wise than Zhu Youjian, he would not be loyal to Zhu Youjian, but would choose the lord to serve him.

Yan Qiheng knew that Du Yinxi was loyal to the court. It was this kind of loyalty that the emperor could save Du Yinxi from his official position in just one sentence and take away the achievements of the pro-war faction without any effort.

The situation in the world is unclear now, and a war may occur at any time in Huguang. Yan Qiheng does not want it. Du Yinxi comes out too early, at least he must wait until the emperor offers satisfactory conditions.

Du Yinxi said: "Zhensheng, you don't want me to go to this muddy water." Du Yinxi sighed, "Sun Kewang is called a vassal, which was caused by me. Now that the trouble is like this, I am not willing to see it. I heard that you are ordered to deal with the mutiny of the Xichuan soldiers this time. In fact, you don't need to worry too much about the matter in Jingzhou, and you can't cause any major trouble!"

Yan Qiheng thought for a while, understood Du Yinxi's meaning a little, and nodded, "If today, all parties are in balance, Sun Kewang would be more restrained if he is sober."

Du Yinxi said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, the imperial court reduced its vassals and caused rebellion from Zhejiang Army. The Qing Dynasty immediately took the opportunity to go south, seized several prefectures in Jiangbei, and seized military capital as a mountain. If Sun Kewang rebels against the court and attacks Huguang, the Qing Dynasty would definitely make another spoil. At that time, whether it is the Qing army attacking Shu or attacking the court, it will not be a good thing for Sun Kewang. Therefore, I can assert that Sun Kewang will make a big fuss in Jingzhou, but it will not be able to really go to war with the court, nor will it completely tear the face, but will leave room for a big change in the world."

For example, today, the nominal opposition between the north and the south is actually a lot of divisions in the world. Among them, the Qing Dynasty monopolizes the north and has the strongest strength. Many forces such as Longwu court, Zhu Yihai, King of Lu, Wu Yue, Xichuan, Zheng Chenggong, etc. each own a piece of territory in the south.

Although the weak united together, their strength was far greater than that of the Qing army, they were unable to exert their true strength due to their disinterest, separation and mutual restraint, and their true strength could only barely resist the Qing army.

However, once an internal strife occurs among the weak, the Qing army will have a chance to grow. If the Qing army continuously annexes some forces, it will eventually develop to the point where the weak and the weak can hardly resist each other, and will be destroyed one by one by the Qing Dynasty.

This is like Qin and the Six Kingdoms.

Therefore, if Sun Kewang was sober, he would not give the Qing Dynasty a chance, and would probably not make things worse, unless he had a way to quickly defeat the Longwu court, accept the power of the Longwu Dynasty, and would not give the Qing Dynasty a chance to get into trouble.

After hearing Du Yinxi's words, Yan Qiheng couldn't help but say, "What do you think Sun Kewang is this person?"
