In the end, none of the three people fought over each other, so they had to enter the door together.
At the banquet, Chen Kan also failed to see the verbal battle between Zhang Guan and Qiu Fu.
There was no excitement to watch, so Chen Kan simply turned himself into a transparent person.
The Jie Feng banquet at Shuntian Mansion was not as good as that at Hou Mansion. Chen Kan ate something to fill his stomach, then drank slowly with a glass of wine in his hand, out of boredom.
After drinking for three rounds, Chen Kan looked at the sky and was about to say goodbye.
Qiu Fu ended his chat with Zhang Guan, turned to Chen Kan and asked, "Does the Marquis know that Duke Cheng is seriously ill?"
"Is Duke Cheng Guo seriously ill?"
Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I have lived in Beijing for a long time and don't know much about Nanjing. When did Duke Cheng become seriously ill?"
Chen Kan really didn't know that Zhu Neng was seriously ill.
He only remembered that Zhu Neng died of illness when he reached Guangxi in the fourth year of Yongle's southern expedition to Annan.
But now because of him, Annan was destroyed in the second year of Yongle, and Zhu Neng went there by boat, without the hardship of traveling.
Therefore, after killing Annan and returning, he can still go to the Naval Academy as the dean, and take Zhang Xin, Zhang Fu and other famous generals to bow and die with their essence.
In Chen Kan's opinion, with Zhu Neng's physical condition, as long as he could survive the fourth year of Yongle safely, there would be no problem in living another ten or eight years.
Unexpectedly, he only lived one year longer than the original historical time and space, and he became seriously ill again.
Seeing Chen Kan's confused look, Qiu Fu said calmly: "The imperial doctor said that Duke Cheng had fought too hard in his early years and had many hidden injuries that were not treated. Now the old injuries have recurred.
When I set off from Nanjing, Duke Cheng Guo was already bedridden and unable to stay. He estimated that it would be difficult to teach at the Naval Academy again. "
Chen Kan listened quietly to Qiu Fu's words, but he didn't care in his heart.
Zhu Neng is making money every day he is alive, and he will not lose even if he dies. Anyway, he has lived more than a year longer than in history.
Qiu Fu, on the other hand, would have ended up really miserable if his arrival had not changed the situation on the grassland.
Not only did he lose the battle and lose his title, but his title was taken back by Zhu Di, and he died in distress, which was so desolate.
Of course, Chen Kan would definitely not show his disdain on his face.
So when Qiu Fu said that the Duke was seriously ill, Chen Kan's face showed sadness at the right moment.
Ying He said: "In this case, I can only say that I am jealous of talents. A famous general like Cheng Guogong cannot continue to teach at the Naval Academy. That is the loss of the Naval Academy and the loss of our Ming Dynasty. "
"Who says it's not?"
Qiu Fu also felt a little emotional.
He and Zhu Neng are the only remaining veterans of the Ming Dynasty. Although there is an older Gu Cheng in Guizhou, Gu Cheng's presence is not high after all.
At the beginning, Zhang Yu, the three generals under King Yan, died early in the battle, and now Zhu Neng is about to die.
He was the only one left among the three, how could he not be sad?
Chen Kan really had no interest in continuing to chat with Qiu Fu about Zhu Neng.
His beautiful little wife and child are still waiting for him at home. Who has the time to chat with a group of old men about a general who is about to die of illness?
He raised the glass calmly and said: "Mr. Chengguo has his own destiny. I believe that there is nothing he can do about his illness. We only need to wait for the good news that Mr. Chengguo has recovered. With this glass, I would like to express my gratitude to you." I will take office at the Army Academy. I wish you all the best in advance."
Qiu Fu raised his glass and responded: "With the Lord Marquis's auspicious words, I don't have any extravagant hopes that the world will be filled with peaches and plums. I can only hope to cultivate a few useful talents for our Ming Dynasty. In this way, I will die without regrets."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then drank the wine in one gulp.
After ending the topic, Chen Kan was about to stand up and leave.
But Qiu Fu poured another glass of wine for Chen Kan and said with a faint smile: "Master Marquis, now the post of Dean of the Naval Academy is vacant, but I heard that His Majesty prefers Master Marquis to take over.
In this way, Lord Marquis will soon have peaches and plums all over the world. With this cup, I respect Lord Marquis. "
Chen Kan was about to stand up and looked at Qiu Fu in surprise: "Where did you hear this rumor? I don't know anything about military affairs. How can I be the president of the Naval Academy?"
My Lord, please do not mention this again. I am fine with it, but if Licheng Hou Longpinghou and other Ming generals listen to it, I am afraid they will join forces to cause trouble for me. "
But who would have thought that after Qiu Fu heard Chen Kan's words, he was even more surprised than Chen Kan.
"Does the Marquis not know about this?"
Chen Kan shook his head: "Of course I don't know this. I don't even know this about myself. The position of Dean of the Naval Academy is so important. How can your Majesty give me to someone who doesn't know anything about military affairs?"
"The words of the Marquis are wrong. Now everyone in our Ming Dynasty does not know that the Marquis is the champion of our Ming Dynasty.
The tactics of blitzkrieg and public opinion warfare during the Annan campaign are still unavoidable issues in the Naval Academy even today.
Not to mention that the Marquis traveled three thousand miles to the grassland alone, and even captured the Mongolian Khan and made immortal contributions. It is said that the Kent Mountains are still barren of grass today.
From all the above, it can be seen that the Marquis has reached an advanced level in the use of military power. If the Marquis does not know the military, I am afraid that no one in the Ming Dynasty will know the military. "
Qiu Fu said a lot of flattering words in a serious manner.
But Chen Kan is not very interested in these things.
His own family knew his own affairs, how capable he was, and how much merit those seemingly bluffing achievements had.
However, he really didn't know that Zhu Di favored him as the dean of the Naval Academy.
Not even a sound of wind was heard.
This made Chen Kan very curious. There were so many famous generals in the Ming Dynasty, such as Mu Sheng, Wu Gao, Zhang Xin, Zhang Fu, Gu Cheng...
Which of these people has less military exploits than him, and which one does not have higher qualifications than him?
Zhu Di only cares about himself. Is Zhu Di crazy?
Or is Qiu Fu's information wrong?
After pondering for a moment, Chen Kan asked: "I don't know the source of the news from Lord Marquis?"
Logically speaking, it is very taboo to inquire about other people's sources and channels at will.
Especially when they reach their status, every move, word and deed is watched by countless pairs of eyes.
But Chen Kan was indeed curious, and this kind of thing would not have much impact on Qiu Fu, so he asked without any scruples.
Qiu Fu knew that Chen Kan was worried that his news was untrue.
Then he smiled and said: "Of course it was said by your Majesty himself. On the day I set off from Nanjing, I was summoned by your Majesty. Your Majesty asked me who could be worthy of this important task. I didn't know, so your Majesty mentioned the name of the Marquis to me."
"I see!"
A look of surprise appeared on Chen Kan's face, and he just asked why he hadn't heard anything about such a big thing.
Emotions Zhu Di and Qiu Fu just mentioned it casually.
"hehe!"
Qiu Fu chuckled lightly, raised his glass to Chen Kan and said with a smile: "I know your Majesty's temper very well. If you don't really care about the Marquis, you will definitely not mention the Marquis's name in front of outsiders. Therefore, this glass of wine is... I think this is my congratulations to the Marquis in advance."
Chen Kan picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Forget it, congratulations. Your Majesty must be just on a whim, but I would like to show my respect to you, sir. Why don't you accompany me? Please drink, sir."
The two of them finished their glasses of wine again.
Seeing that Qiu Fu was about to pour the wine again, Chen Kan hurriedly stopped him: "I appreciate your kindness, but it's getting late now, and I'm pregnant, so I have to go back home. Please invite me." Forgive me."
Hearing what Chen Kan said, Qiu Fu's hands paused in the air.
Then he smiled and said: "The Marquis and the princess are really deeply in love as husband and wife. In this case, I can't be that evil person, so let's call it a night."
"I'll let you laugh at me. One day, when your master settles down, I'll put some wine in the house to apologize."
Chen Kan stood up and saluted Qiu Fu, and then saluted Zhang Guan, who was pretending to be transparent.
Then he turned around and walked out of Shuntian Mansion Office.
After leaving the government office, the cool night breeze dispelled Chen Kan's drunkenness.
Chen Kan rode out of Beijing and walked along the Jinshui River, his head suddenly clearing up.
Immediately, he began to think about the meaning of Qiu Fu's words today.
Qiu Fu's attitude today can be described as warm, polite and polite.
The dignified Duke does not look like a majestic general, but rather like a little man who is constantly climbing up for power.
With the dignity of a duke, I deigned to condescend to him and gave him a cup of wine from a prince.
No matter how you look at it, don’t look too ordinary.
And everything he said was flattering him.
Why did Qiu Fu do this?
Is it really for the illusory position of president of the Naval Academy?
But even if he became the dean, with Zhu Neng's status, there was no need to be so flattering to him.
After all, Zhu Neng is also the dean, and in terms of title, he is one level higher than himself.
He was just a prince, but Qiu Fu was a duke.
He believed that he could no longer play any role in Qiu Fu's career, because Qiu Fu's current official position had already reached its peak.
If we take another step forward, we will have no choice but to rebel.
Qiu Futu what?
Chen Kan was puzzled.
When he walked to the door of the house, Chen Kan suddenly had an idea flash in his mind.
Zhu Di called Qiu Fu to ask who could take over as the dean of the Naval Academy. Qiu Fu said he didn't know, and then Zhu Di asked him how he was doing.
Is this logical?
Even if Qiu Fu really didn't know who was suitable, and Zhu Di asked this, he should make up a few names and send them to Zhu Di, right?
Can Chen Kan understand that the reason why Zhu Di felt that he was suitable was that Qiu Fu recommended him to Zhu Di to take over the position of the Naval Academy?
But what does he want?
Instead of recommending him despite so many veteran celebrities, he recommended me, a hairless boy like myself.
Is it just because it is the Naval Academy and his title contains the word Jinghai?
The more Chen Kan thought about it, the more likely it became.
Zhu Di would never express his stance to anyone easily until the last moment, so this fact was Qiu Fu's handiwork.
And the reason why he hid it from himself must be related to what he was planning.
