Mao Xiang, whose courtesy name is Pijiang, was a famous talented man in Jiangnan and one of the four princes of Fushe.

This person does not seem to be very famous in history. Compared with Wu Meicun, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Chen Zilong and other backbones of the Fushe Society, he seems to be an unknown person.

In fact, he had a very high status in the Fushe Society, and Jiangnan was also quite famous at this time.

As for why he was not very famous in history, it may be because he was not successful in the imperial examinations, failed to achieve fame, and never served in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, did not serve in the mire, and died in full.

In other words, he has never appeared in the officialdom, so it is indeed difficult for such a person to leave a strong mark in history.

However, he was indeed a great talent. Dong Qichang, a giant in the literary garden, compared him to Wang Bo in the early Tang Dynasty. He wrote eight volumes of "Chaomin Poetry Collection", six volumes of "Shuihuiyuan Poetry Collection", one volume of "Yingmei'an's Illusion", and twelve volumes of "Fanren Collection".

Moreover, he was a famous child prodigy. He could recite poems and paint at the age of twelve, and published the poetry collection "The Ancient House of Xiangli Garden" at the age of 14. It is rumored that he supported the orphans of more than ten anti-Qing patriots in Jiangnan by selling calligraphy and painting alone. It can be seen that his attainments in calligraphy and painting are also extraordinary.

Zhu Qizhuo flipped through the collection of poems and essays that Mao Xiang had published, and then looked at the calligraphy and paintings collected by the secret guards, and couldn't help but sigh.

It is indeed a pity that such a talented man was buried with the Chongzhen court.

Come on, I will give you a brilliant life and leave you with a brilliant mark in history!

Mao Xiang did come. After receiving Chen Yuanyuan's letter, he rushed over from Taizhou without stopping.

In history, his love history with Chen Yuanyuan was indeed a tragedy. Although his family is not bad, he has not yet reached the point where he can easily take out hundreds or thousands of taels to redeem Chen Yuanyuan. And Tian Hong met a father-in-law like this, which was even more capable of competing with.

To put it bluntly, he just has no money and no power, so he could only watch Chen Yuanyuan being stolen.

Of course, he would not let down Chen Yuanyuan whenever he had the chance. Few people could let go of the stunning beauty of the world like Chen Yuanyuan.

The reason why Zhu Qi was put down was not that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't. His identity was destined to be unable to include Chen Yuanyuan in the harem.

If he ignored it like Liu Zongmin and insisted on occupying Chen Yuanyuan, what would the result be?

Mao Xiang definitely won’t come to assist him.

You stole other people's women, but you still want them to do their best to assist you?

That's simply a dream!

At that time, Mao Xiang will not only not assist him, but will also do his best to be enemies with him. With Mao Xiang's influence, if he tries his best to slander him, the people in the Fushe will definitely regard him as a traitor who is planning to usurp the throne.

Once these young men think that he is a traitor who is planning to usurp the throne, it will be a big trouble.

Those who are strong and harsh people like Chen Zilong, Xia Yunyi, Huang Chunyao, Hou Qi will definitely raise an army to fight him to the end.

For the so-called integrity, Yang Tingshu, Fang Yizhi, Chen Zhenhui and others will definitely live in seclusion and will not be in office for the sake of their so-called integrity.

Great writers like Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi would definitely concentrate on writing, ignore him, and even in the book, he would more or less allude to him as a traitor who plotted to usurp the throne, making future generations laugh at him!

Is it worth it to ignore the country for a woman?

Perhaps, King Fuchai of Wu thought that Xi Shi was worthy, so Wu was lost by him.

Perhaps, Emperor Minghuang of Tang thought that Yang Guifei was worth it, so he played the role of a prosperous Tang Dynasty to decline.

Perhaps, Liu Zongmin thought Chen Yuanyuan was worth it, so he played Li Zicheng's Dashun Chao.

Perhaps, Dong Zhuo thought Diao Chan was worth it, so he killed himself before he even took over the country!

Zhu Qizhi believed that there was no need to cause chaos in the world for a woman and make future generations ridiculed, so he accepted Chen Yuanyuan as his adopted daughter and asked him to help him win over the people in the society.

In this way, the young men of Fushe would not demote him to a traitor who plotted to usurp the throne, but would instead regard him as the leader of Chengzu's revival.

Of course, all this depends on whether Mao Xiang is a tactful person.

Zhu Qizhe was taking a calligraphy and painting of Mao Xiang and admiring it there. He had already walked slowly into the study under Chen Yuanyuan's guidance.

Chen Yuanyuan introduced shyly: "Entertainment Father, this is the son of Mao Xiang Mao that my daughter often mentions to you."

Well, the rumors are true. This kid is indeed a "southeastern shadow" and "like a good girl".

This kid is indeed very handsome, more handsome than a beautiful woman. Chen Yuanyuan stood with him, but he couldn't even cover his handsomeness!

To put it bluntly, he is the kind of young and handsome guy in later generations, and he is the most handsome guy in his life.

Not bad, it really matches Chen Yuanyuan.

Zhu Qizhuo nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, it's true that he is a handsome man and a round woman. You have a good vision."

Chen Yuanyuan stamped her feet shyly and said, "Oh, my adoptive father, I'm so embarrassed."

After saying that, she turned around and ran away!

Mao Xiang is so embarrassed that he doesn’t know what to say.

Originally, according to his nature, he would not care about such a vassal king who wanted to rebel. It would be good if he didn't scold the traitor.

However, he can't let go of Chen Yuanyuan!

Not only did they save Chen Yuanyuan, but they also took him as their adopted daughter. How could he scold him?

He can't scold him, but he can't scold him for his reason, and he can't scold him for Chen Yuanyuan.

If he scolds, he and Chen Yuanyuan will be finished!

At this time, he was quite confused. For Chen Yuanyuan, he had to come to see the Tang King of Nanyang, but he couldn't help but beg others.

Originally, he thought that Chen Yuanyuan could help him say a few words, but now that Chen Yuanyuan has run away.

Alas, how do I speak up?

He thought about it, but he bowed politely: "Student Mao Xiang, see the prince."

Zhu Qizhu greeted kindly: "Young Master Mao doesn't have to be too polite, please sit down."

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiang carefully sat down in the guest seat.

Alas, there is no way, you can't be tempted by others.

When Zhu Qizhuo saw his appearance, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Hehe, boy, aren't you angry anymore?

It’s good if you lose your temper, I’ll explain to you.

He looked upright and pretended to be worried, "Mr. Mao, what do you think about the current situation? Do you think there is still hope in the Ming Dynasty?"

Alas, I knew you would say this.

Mao Xiang said helplessly: "Since the prince asked, the students would dare to say a few words. The students thought that if the emperor could move the capital to Jinling, it would be fine to raise hundreds of thousands of people with the wealth of Jiangnan. At that time, it would not be difficult to practice hard, defeat Jiannu and pacify the world."

Oh, this kid has something to think of.

However, with Chongzhen's virtue, it would be useless even if he moved the capital to Jiangnan.

Zhu Qizhu said calmly: "Your idea is good, but it's easy to get three armies, but it's hard to find one general. What's the use of having hundreds of thousands of troops? Who can command the three armies to pacify the world? Can Zhou Yanru be a high-level and a scattered person?"

Uh, this one!

Mao Xiang thought about it and then said carefully: "Zhou Yanru, it is not possible to be a high-level and accustomed to the people of high school. However, if there are talented people in the world, there will always be those who can fight and fight and will stand up and turn the tide."

Hehe, don’t you know Chongzhen’s virtue yet?

Zhu Qidiao shook his head slightly and said, "The Ming Dynasty has people who are good at fighting, but it also needs that boy Chongzhen to know people and use them well. What about Sun Chengzong? What about Lu Xiangsheng? So what about Sun Chuanting? How can they fight? As a result, who did Chongzhen use? He is not using villains such as Yang Sichang, Hong Chengchou, and Gao Qiqian! Now Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng have been killed, and Sun Chuanting is still locked in the imperial prison!"
