This small house is the place where the temporary residence permit is applied.

When Qian Qianyi came here, there was already a long line of people applying for temporary residence permits.

"You just wait here, don't run around, if you are caught by the city's patrol, it will not be so easy to get out." The soldier leading the way warned a few times, and then left.

Qian Qianyi looked at the surrounding scenery in shock, his mouth opened wide.

This is Qian Qianyi's first visit to Xuanzhen, and he has never seen such a prosperous place.

Almost all roads are paved with cement, and the streets are full of people coming and going and hawkers selling things.

There is no patch on the clothes worn by the people, and they are all made of cotton cloth.

The people here have rosy complexions, and it seems that they eat well on weekdays.

"Hey, the people here are really rich, and the windows of these shops are actually made of glass.

And these two wheeled things, what are these things that can run so fast?

Is this Xuanzhen?How can it be so prosperous? "

Qian Qianyi was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, the horror on his face never disappeared.

Liu Rushi was similar to Qian Qianyi, and she had never seen these scenes before.

While the two were surprised, the team had already arrived at him.

After a while, Qian Qianyi came to the city wall with a small wooden sign.

The appearance of the temporary residence certificate is similar to that of the household registration certificate, but the materials are different, one is an iron plate and the other is a wooden plate.

After Qian Qianyi asked the defenders at the city gate to check his temporary residence permit, he drove his carriage into Xuanzhen City with his entourage.

Qian Qianyi wandered the streets of Xuanzhen for a long time, and then found an inn to stay.

In today's Xuanzhen, the currency in circulation is silver coins, and the capital is not far from Xuanzhen. In addition, the silver coins are exquisite and contain more silver than the city's silver, so they are deeply loved by the people in the capital.It was really because of this reason that Qian Qianyi also had a lot of silver coins, so there was no problem living in an inn.

Qian Qianyi was sitting in the guest room of an inn. He was holding a newspaper that he got from Xuanzhen in his hand, and carefully read it.

"Now that I seek refuge with Zhao Wen in this state, I will definitely be thrown out as a provocateur, so I need to find someone to recommend.

According to the contents of the newspaper, now, the official that Zhao Wen values ​​most is Liu Wenzhong.It seems that I have to go to him first. "

Qian Qianyi muttered for a while, and then said to Liu Rushi who was sitting in the room: "You wait for me here, and I will go and handle some things."

After Qian Qianyi said that, he walked out of the room and came to the lobby of the inn.

Qian Qianyi came to Xuanzhen for the first time, and he didn't know the layout of Xuanzhen, let alone where Liu Wenzhong lived, so he had to find out these things first.

Qian Qianyi stood in front of the counter in the lobby, took out five silver coins from his pocket, and spread them on the counter.

"Hey, what is this guest officer talking about?" The shopkeeper looked at the five silver coins on the table and asked with a smile.

"I want to ask, where does Mr. Liu Wenzhong live? I have something to do with him." Qian Qianyi didn't have time to think, and directly stated his purpose of coming.

"Looking for Master Liu? Who are you?" When the shopkeeper heard that Qian Qianyi was looking for Liu Wenzhong, he immediately put on a scrutinizing expression.

"That's right, if you can tell me where Master Liu lives and the route to Master Liu's residence, all these silver coins will be yours." Qian Qianyi said.

"Listen to your accent, are you a foreigner?" asked the shopkeeper.

Qian Qianyi nodded, "That's right, I'm a foreigner. I'm a Jinshi. I heard that Xuan Town is rich, so I came here to seek refuge with Master Liu."

Qian Qianyi did not say that he would take refuge in Zhao Wen, but instead said that he would take refuge in Liu Wenzhong.

The shopkeeper looked at the silver coins on the table and thought for a moment, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll tell you, it's not a secret anyway."

Chapter 645 Are You Qian Qianyi?

Qian Qianyi turned seven times and eight times in Xuan Town, and finally came to Liu Wenzhong's residence.

Although Liu Wenzhong is Zhao Wen's number one civil servant, his house is not big, just a courtyard with two entrances.

It stands to reason that there should be many people like Liu Wenzhong who came to visit him, but when Qian Qianyi came to Liu Wenzhong's house, he found that almost no one came to Liu Wenzhong's house visiting people.

Some have only one or two doormen standing outside the door.

Zhao Wen once issued an order to prohibit collusion in the camp. Under Zhao Wen's order, not many people came to visit Liu Wenzhong.

Qian Qianyi walked to the door of Liu Wenzhong's house, took out his name sticker, and looked at the doorman standing at the door.

"This is my name sticker. I want to see Mr. Liu. Please let me know." Qian Qianyi cautiously greeted the doormen.

A doorman looked at Qian Qianyi, frowned and said, "Your Majesty once issued an order to forbid collusion. What do you mean by coming here now? My lord is gone, so you should leave."

"Understood, understood!" Qian Qianyi's eyes lit up, thinking that he didn't give the silver, so he hurriedly took out a few silver coins from his pocket and handed them to the front.

The doorman scolded: "Who are you? Why are you so unruly? Collect all your money for me. If I collect your money, it will ruin my family's reputation.

Let me tell you, His Majesty once issued an order that collusion is not allowed. If you do this again, don't blame me for reporting to the official. "

Qian Qianyi thought the doorman felt that there were too few, so he hurriedly took out a few silver coins.

However, no matter how many silver coins Qian Qianyi took out, the doorman would not accept them.

"I told you just now that His Majesty forbids collusion. You'd better keep your money. Also, my lord is not here." The doorman's voice became louder, and he looked at Qian Qianyi with an irritable expression.

Seeing that the doorman insisted on this, Qian Qianyi couldn't help muttering, "It's really weird, there are such things."

The doorman's voice drew Liu Wenzhong's butler out.

"What are you doing? What's the proper way to make a scene in public? If you are caught by an adult, you will suffer a lot." Liu Wenzhong's butler came out, looked at the doormen standing at the door, scolded.

"Sir, it's not that we want to make a fuss. It's really this person. He hates him very much. He insists on giving me money and letting me inform the Lord. But the Lord is not here at all. Besides, His Majesty has issued an order before, no Collusion." The doorman pointed to Qian Qianyi and said to the housekeeper.

The steward put his eyes on Qian Qianyi, "Let's go, Your Majesty once issued an order prohibiting collusion. If you are let in today, if His Majesty finds out, my lord will inevitably be punished by His Majesty."

Qian Qianyi hurried to the housekeeper like a dog's skin plaster.

"I used to be an official in the capital, and I was on duty in the Ministry of Rites, but now the Ming court is so corrupt that I'm about to die.

The new dynasty has just established itself, and the emperor is wise.Scholars of my generation should be upholding the hearts of the people of the world, so I came to seek refuge with Mr. Liu on purpose, please do me a favor. "Qian Qianyi leaned into the butler's ear and told his story.

The housekeeper looked at Qian Qianyi solemnly, "You said you came from the capital? Or an official from the Ministry of Rites? Do you have any evidence?"

"Evidence? I have the evidence, but I'm not with you right now. Please inform your lord that I really came to rely on him." Qian Qianyi said unwillingly.

Looking at Qian Qianyi's appearance and Qian Qianyi's accent, the housekeeper didn't seem to be lying, so he said: "Well, my lord is not here now, let's talk about it after he is released, before my lord comes back , you just wait outside."

"Okay, then I'll wait here." Qian Qianyi nodded, and then stood in front of Liu Wenzhong's house.

When the sun was setting on the western mountain and the sky was getting dark, Liu Wenzhong returned to the mansion in a slightly larger tricycle with a roof.

Today's officials in Xuanzhen basically travel by this kind of tricycle.

After all, carriages are more expensive than tricycles, and food is also more expensive, which is inconvenient.

The tricycle stopped in front of the house, and Liu Wenzhong got off from the compartment of the tricycle.

Qian Qianyi stood aside, looked at Liu Wenzhong who came down, and hurried up to meet him.

Although Qian Qianyi has never met Liu Wenzhong, but seeing Liu Wenzhong's style and the official uniform on Liu Wenzhong's body, and this is Liu Wenzhong's house, Qian Qianyi is sure that the one who got out of the car is definitely Liu Wenzhong. Literary public.

"Who are you?" Liu Wenzhong looked at Qian Qianyi who was welcoming him, and asked.

Qian Qianyi cupped his hands at Liu Wenzhong, and said, "I'm from the capital, and I came here specially to seek refuge with Master Liu."

"From the capital? It doesn't sound like your accent. Why do I feel that your accent is from Jiangnan?" Liu Wenzhong frowned.

"Master Liu is really good at hearing. I am from Changshu, Suzhou Prefecture. My name is Qian Qianyi, and I am now a servant of the Ministry of Rites. Now the Ming court is corrupt and the people of the world are in dire straits, but the new dynasty is prosperous. It's exactly what scholars of my generation would like to see, so I'm here to take refuge with you." Qian Qianyi bragged eloquently about how he abandoned the dark and turned to the bright.

Upon hearing Qian Qianyi's name, Liu Wenzhong frowned tightly.

"Qian Qianyi? Are you the Qian Qianyi who was dismissed and returned home because of the fraud case in the imperial examination during the Tianqi period, and was impeached and returned home in the early years of Chongzhen?" Liu Wenzhong asked.

Liu Wenzhong used to be an aide to those high officials in the capital, and Qian Qianyi's fraud case in the examination room was quite big, so Liu Wenzhong had also heard of it.

Qian Qianyi was embarrassed when he heard that Liu Wenzhong knew about his past. "This, this, this, the fraud case in the examination room is innocent, and has nothing to do with me. In the early years of Chongzhen, I was also envied by others, and the false emperor listened to the slander of treacherous officials, so he was dismissed and returned home. of."

In fact, Qian Qianyi's official career in his life was really not smooth.

Qian Qianyi had always been the number one child prodigy in his early years. In the 38th year of Wanli, he was a high school prodigy.

But in this year, his father passed away, and he had to go home to observe his filial piety.This observation lasted for three years. After three years, Qian Qianyi came to the capital again with full confidence.

In the first year of Tianqi, Qian Qianyi was appointed as the chief examiner of the Zhejiang Provincial Examination. As a result, this time, a fraud case occurred in the Zhejiang Examination.

This case of fraud in the examination room has nothing to do with Qian Qianyi, but because he is the chief examiner, he has an unshirkable responsibility.

Because of this incident, he was punished by Emperor Tianqi.Coupled with the rise of the eunuch party headed by Wei Zhongxian, and Qian Qianyi is a member of the Donglin Party, so he was dismissed by Wei Zhongxian and returned home.

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Qian Qianyi became an official again. He was the editor of the Imperial Academy at that time and was responsible for compiling the "Records of Shenzong". After a few days of editing, under Wei Zhongxian's operation, he was dismissed and returned home.

In the early years of Chongzhen, Qian Qianyi saw that Wei Zhongxian had been cleaned up by Chongzhen, so he came to Beijing again with confidence, hoping to find a good official position.

But at this moment, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru were going to join the cabinet.Qian Qianyi was unbalanced in his heart, so he secretly blocked the two from entering the cabinet, but they were regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the two.

After that, Qian Qianyi became the chief examiner of Zhejiang again.It may be that Qian Qianyi had a life-threatening conflict with the examination room. This year, his subordinates Jin Baoyuan and Xu Shimin, both officials of the examination room, colluded with the examinees at that time and cheated in the examination room.

As a result, he was denounced, coupled with the impeachment of Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru, Qian Qianyi was beaten twenty times by Chongzhen, and was dismissed again and returned home.

In the tenth year of Chongzhen, under the operation of Qian Qianyi, he became an official again, but the good times did not last long, and he was impeached again, and was dismissed by Chongzhen again to return home.

It can be said that Qian Qianyi is not suitable for being an official at all because he has been against the official career all his life.

"The False Emperor? I haven't accepted your offer, yet you call the Ming Emperor the False Emperor? Isn't that inappropriate for you?" Liu Wenzhong looked at Qian Qianyi with disgust.

To be honest, Liu Wenzhong really looked down on Qian Qianyi from the bottom of his heart.

"This, this, this..." Qian Qianyi looked at Liu Wenzhong in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

"Okay, I still have something to do. You can go back. His Majesty ordered that collusion is prohibited. You came to the wrong place." Liu Wenzhong threw down a sentence, and went home without looking back.

"Don't, my lord, don't!!!"

Qian Qianyi hurriedly chased after him, but was stopped by the doorman at the door.

After Liu Wenzhong entered the house, there was a bang, and the door was closed by the doorman.

Qian Qianyi looked at the door helplessly.

"Could it be that I, Qian Qianyi, am not suitable to be an official in this life?" Qian Qianyi stood in front of Liu Wenzhong's house for a short while, then turned and left.

On the second day, Liu Wenzhong was approached by Zhao Wen and asked about some things.

At the end, Liu Wenzhong remembered this and told Zhao Wen.

Sitting in the imperial study, Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong sitting in front of him with a playful smile on his face.

"Qian Qianyi? Is it really Qian Qianyi?" Liu Wenzhong asked playfully.

Liu Wenzhong said: "Return to Your Majesty, it is absolutely true, that's what he told me, that he is from Changshu, Suzhou Prefecture."

"That's right, Qian Qianyi in history was from Changshu, Suzhou Prefecture. I didn't expect that the famous Shui Tailiang in history would come to seek refuge with me. I really didn't expect it." Zhao Wen kept slandering.

"By the way, you said you rejected him?" Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong.

Liu Wenzhong nodded, "That's right, I know a thing or two about Qian Qianyi. He is a person who likes being an official very much. He can do anything to become an official. He is not a good person."

"You are right, this Qian Qianyi is really not a good person." Zhao Wen also thinks that this Qian Qianyi is not a good person.

After all, his phrase "the water is too cold makes the scalp itchy" is so famous and so hated.

"This person is really not a thing, so how about it, after tomorrow morning, you let him come, I want to see him." Zhao Wen said.

Zhao Wen really wanted to see what kind of face Qian Qianyi was like, to be able to say that kind of thing.

"Your Majesty, why are you seeing him? Just let someone throw him out of Xuan Town to fend for himself, why do you still need to see him?" Liu Wenzhong looked at Zhao Wen with a puzzled expression.

"Throw it out of Xuanzhen directly? That would really be too cheap for him." Zhao Wen sneered and said, "Just do as I say, I have my own way to make his life worse than death."

"The minister takes orders!" Zhao Wen had already said this, so Liu Wenzhong had no choice but to agree.

After the court meeting ended the next day, Qian Qianyi was taken to the imperial study by the guards in the palace.

As soon as Qian Qianyi entered the imperial study, he immediately knelt down.

"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"

Qian Qianyi knelt on the ground with all his body cast down, and kowtowed to Zhao Wen who was sitting in the imperial study.

"Get up! Are you Qian Qianyi?" Zhao Wen waved at Qian Qianyi blankly.
