When the news spread that Zhao Wen was going to open his mansion, scholars from all over Xuanzhen flocked to Xuanzhen.

Not only are there scholars from Xuanzang, but there are also scholars from Shuntian Prefecture.

Zhao Wen stood on the city wall, looking at more and more scholars in the city, and his brows knitted together for a moment.

"I'm just opening a shogunate, why do so many scholars come here?"

Zhao Wen supported the female wall, looked at the scholars wearing round-neck shirts coming and going in the city, and said slowly.

After Liu Wenzhong arranged the errand of building the bank, he became a hands-off shopkeeper. These days, he was mainly responsible for selecting people with real talents and learning among these scholars.

Liu Wenzhong stood behind Zhao Wen, smiled slightly, and said: "Sir, you don't know, your current reputation is known to everyone in the entire Ming Dynasty.

You can repel countless Jiannu troops with just a few thousand men. This ability alone is unmatched by anyone.

Although the officials in the court can't stand you, the scholars in the countryside admire you very much."

"But there are too many scholars here, right? I think there are at least more than a thousand. This is really beyond my expectation." Zhao Wen slapped the female wall and sighed.

"Haha, doesn't this prove that your Excellency is what the people want? In fact, there are more than two thousand scholars who come to Xuan Town, and most of them are scholars with scholarly reputation. However, there are exceptions to everything, and there are many among them.

There are only a few people who have been promoted, and there are even two or three Jinshi."

Liu Wenzhong laughed and said slowly.

Zhao Wen turned around, looked at Liu Wenzhong, and asked puzzledly: "Why are there Jinshi here? Now the entire court is impeaching me. Logically speaking, these Jinshi should hate me, why would they defect to me?"

I?"

Liu Wenzhong looked at Zhao Wen who looked confused and explained: "Sir, you have made a mistake, that is, not all scholars in the world are like the officials of the Donglin Party or the Shanxi merchant faction.

Although the world is declining, there are still many scholars with righteous thoughts. These Jinshi who came to seek refuge with Your Excellency were once honorable men in the court, because they expressed some dissatisfaction for the late Emperor when he passed away.

After his remarks, he was criticized by the Donglin Party and resigned."

"What did they say? Why are they still being criticized by the Donglin Party?" Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong curiously.

"What else can I say? It's nothing more than complaining for the late emperor. Back then, the late emperor was in his prime, but he suddenly fell into the water. After falling into the water, he suddenly became ill and died suddenly. There must be something fishy in this.

These officials felt that this matter was abnormal, very abnormal. How could an emperor in his prime suddenly die suddenly? Even if he fell into the water and fell ill, the time of onset was too short, right? So short that it didn't occur at all.

It's hard to react.

They felt that there must be something strange here, so they wrote to His Majesty, requesting a thorough investigation into the matter. However, the result was an all-out attack from the Donglin Party.

These few people really couldn't stand the wanton slander from these people, so in anger, they resigned and returned to their hometowns to become ordinary ordinary people."

Liu Wenzhong sighed and said slowly.

"Oh, this Donglin Party member is really shameless. By the way, is Emperor Tianqi's death really related to the Donglin Party?" Zhao Wen sighed and asked immediately.

"Who can say clearly? Anyway, Wei Zhongxian, the loyal eunuch of Emperor Tianqi, suppressed them so miserably that there was almost no room for them in the entire court. But after the death of Emperor Tianqi, His Majesty is now the Donglin Party

He holds the throne with one hand, and the Donglin Party is spread throughout the court, even the cabinet. Who can tell the inside and outside of this matter?" Liu Wenzhong let out a long breath and looked into the distance.

, eyes full of complex colors.

"This group of incompetent scholars are really worse than rat droppings."

Zhao Wen slapped the female wall hard with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Sooner or later, I'm going to clean up all these moths."

"Brother Zhao, you are here, so I asked you why I couldn't find you."

At this moment, Li Xiaoying and Hai Lanzhu led several guards to climb up the city wall.

Li Xiaoying looked at Zhao Wen and shouted in this direction with a smile on her face.

Zhao Wen turned his head, looked at Li Xiaoying, smiled slightly, and said, "Why did you come here?"

"I'm too bored staying in the house, so I came out to play." Li Xiaoying took three steps at a time and rushed directly to Zhao Wen.

Li Xiaoying stood next to Zhao Wen and said with a smile on her face: "You haven't been with me much these days. I'm really bored staying in the house, so I came out to relax."

"Tch, he doesn't care about you at all, so he doesn't pay attention to you at all these days." Hai Lanzhu stood next to Li Xiaoying, rolled his eyes at Zhao Wen, and said with a sarcastic look.

Zhao Wen looked at Hai Lanzhu with black lines on his head, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."

"Do you think my aunt is willing to talk to you? My aunt is just bored, just bored, do you understand? By the way, I, Abu, sent me a letter, saying that my brother is recovering from his injury and will come to Xuanzang in a few days."

Hai Lanzhu glanced at Zhao Wen and said with amusement.

"Okay, I understand." Zhao Wen replied casually, then directly took Li Xiaoying's hand and walked along the city wall.

Hai Lanzhu looked at the backs of Zhao Wen and Li Xiaoying, and she stamped her feet in anger.

"He is indeed a lecher." Hai Lanzhu cursed angrily, and then followed Zhao Wen unconvinced.

"Brother Zhao, do you still remember what you promised me?" Li Xiaoying stopped, looked at Zhao Wen, and said with a red face.

Zhao Wen was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"I said he has forgotten it, but you still don't believe it!"

Hai Lanzhu looked like he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so he jumped up and pointed at Zhao Wendao.

"Let's ignore this lecherous person and let's go." Hai Lanzhu said, taking Li Xiaoying's hand and heading back.

"What's going on? I've been very busy recently and I really can't remember. What are you talking about?" Zhao Wen hurriedly grabbed Li Xiaoying's arm and asked anxiously.

Hai Lanzhu sneered and said: "What else can happen? What do you mean? Of course it is marrying my sister Li. You can forget such a big thing. You are really an ungrateful person."

Zhao Wen scratched his head and said to Li Xiaoying with some embarrassment: "I haven't forgotten this matter, but the whole Xuanzang Town is in a mess now. If I marry you at this time, I'm afraid I'll be sorry for you, so I thought that I would be sorry if I married you at this time.

Xuan Zhen has almost finished cleaning up before I marry you. When the time comes, I will definitely hold a glorious wedding for you."

"Brother Zhao misunderstood, I didn't mean it this way." Li Xiaoying's face turned red. Although she said this, her heart felt as sweet as honey.

Seeing the two of them like this, Hai Lanzhu became jealous instantly, "Haha, sister, don't be fooled by him, he is just lying to you."

Zhao Wen turned his head, looked at Hai Lanzhu, and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to sow discord between me and Xiaoying. When the time comes, not only will I marry Xiaoying, but you won't be able to run away either.

You, Abu, often asked me when I would marry you. Now I have decided that when I marry Xiaoying, I will also marry you.

You, the most beautiful flower on the grassland, just give birth to my children obediently from now on."

When Hai Lanzhu heard Zhao Wen's words, she looked so careless and her face turned redder than Li Xiaoying's face in an instant.

"What are you talking about? How could I marry you? Stop dreaming."

Hai Lanzhu's face instantly turned red. He stammered a few curse words directly at Zhao Wen, then took Li Xiaoying's hand and ran away.

Zhao Wen looked at Hai Lanzhu, who was like a rabbit meeting a wolf, and laughed wildly, "Haha, you will have children for me from now on."

To be honest, although Hai Lanzhu is not as delicate as Li Xiaoying, she is still very beautiful. Otherwise, Huang Taiji in history would not have loved her to death.

The current aesthetics on the grassland are different from those in the Ming Dynasty, and I don’t know what people in this era think.

People of this era all like the kind of Yangzhou skinny horse that clings to people like a flat plate.

To be honest, Zhao Wen really has no interest in this kind of Yangzhou thin horse.

All of them are like tablets, what’s the point?

But the grassland is different. The children on the grassland are free-range, and they especially like tall and plump women. After all, the children born to such women are easy to feed.

Although Hai Lanzhu may be a little worse than Li Xiaoying in appearance, her figure is nothing to say.

Especially her height, which is estimated to be 1.77 meters.

Those two long legs, for Zhao Wen who came from a later generation, were simply not that big of a deal.

…

When night enveloped the earth, Zhao Wen returned to the General Military Mansion.

Hai Lanzhu hid in his room alone, his heart beating wildly.

She sat on the bed, her face flushed.

"What happened today? Why am I like this? This is not normal. In the past, when I saw Zhao Wen's face, I always wanted to scold him.

But why did I not feel angry when I heard what Zhao Wen said today? Why did I feel very happy? What happened to me? Did I really fall in love with Zhao Wen, a lecherous person?

No, that’s not right, I, Hai Lanzhu, will marry a very brave man in the future, how could I marry him?"

Hai Lanzhu took a deep breath, shook his head, and said slowly.

But when she talked about the brave man, Zhao Wen appeared in her mind again.

"What happened? Why do I miss him again? I'm only staying in Xuanzan now because Abu asked me to stay here. It's just a pretense. How could I fall in love with him? Impossible, impossible."

Hai Lanzhu shook her head desperately, but Zhao Wen's shadow always remained in her mind, lingering.

In fact, Hai Lanzhu herself had already fallen in love with Zhao Wen, but she never noticed it.

In the past, she would always be jealous because Zhao Wen cared about Li Xiaoying. But he didn't notice all this.

…

"Brother Liu, you are now a popular person next to the Chief Soldier. Are you sure that I will defect to the Chief Soldier?"

In the elegant room of the best restaurant in Xuanzhen, a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a long beard, over forty years old, and wearing a patched crew-neck shirt looked at Liu Wenzhong sitting opposite him, put down the chopsticks in his hands, and
