. "That's right." Chen did not avoid the problem of his eldest son and said calmly: "The court has given me so many missions, but they are actually all flower heads. There is only one real intention, which is to let the general hand over the military power and insult the East and the South. "It's true that I have to kill the donkey." A hint of disgust flashed across the eldest son's face and said: "Shameless." "Although it sounds like an excuse, Chen spread his hands and said: "But I have done my best.
"Oh...I'm not talking about you." The eldest son realized his disagreement) hurriedly said = "I mean those people." "I know." Chen nodded and smiled, saying, "I was just thinking about the words - ask you, what do you think about this matter? ", "I one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one Answer. He asked again: "What is your attitude towards my arrival?" "Welcome." The eldest son said: "The friendship on the battlefield is still trustworthy." "I can't help but say this." Chen laughed and said: "I don't think you are very welcome now." "No..." The eldest son said: "It's just that when he thought of the general working hard and ending up like this, my heart was like a knife." Chen looked at Xu Wei, hoping that the eldest son would be an example. However, Hu Zongxian was really amazing. "The news of me coming to you" Chen smiled and turned the topic: "It should have been spread, right?" There are ships coming and going on the island every day. The eldest son nodded and said: "Everyone who wants to know should know. "Will they come to see me?" Chen Ji's mouth was filled with a strange smile, and he also felt that his problem sounded ridiculous. This problem stumped the eldest son, and he shook his head and said: "What others think, I don't know, "That's OK." Chen turned to: "Let's wait and see." Is it appropriate?" The eldest son asked in a low voice, "Everyone knows you are here." Chen smiled at Xu Wei, and the latter said, "It is because everyone knows that I can sit firmly on Diaoyutai." "Mr. Wen, please be more straightforward." The eldest son smiled bitterly, "I don't understand your sharp weapon." "It's like this." Chen explained to him, "The current situation in the southeast is quite subtle, and it's a mess, but the real corners are watching." "Who can be called corners?" the eldest son asked.
"Heror Xu and Dashuai are the protagonists." Chen said patiently: "The former must consider whether the Southeast is really in chaos, or whether someone is creating an illusion. If it is really in chaos, will the change of the coach worsen the situation? Before these problems are clear, Mr. Xu Kuo will not make any moves."
"On the Xihubutang" Chen said again: "Although I don't know what he was thinking, judging from the situation a few days ago, his slow reaction was obviously very different from his previous style, and his wait-and-see attitude was very strong.
"Actually it's not difficult to guess." Xu Wei took over the conversation and said, "I know Hu Zongxian quite well. His strengths and weaknesses are very obvious. He does not avoid words and dares to take responsibility. This is his strength, but sometimes he seems to use any means to make mistakes on major issues." He paused and said, "So, he is probably waiting for the most favorable situation to appear before he will take action." "Then what situation is the most favorable?" the eldest son asked.
"First, Wang Bengu was dismissed from office and was charged with crimes." Xu Wei counted: "Second, the situation in the south is critical, forcing the court to overturn the original decision; third..." He looked at Shen Ju and smiled: "Third, it was the imperial envoy who spoke for him publicly." As he said, he clasped his hands and said: "Only these three conditions are met at the same time, he will take action." "Isn't this..." The eldest son said a little hard: "Does he threaten the court?:\}"
"If it were someone else, it might not dare." Xu Wei said in a deep voice: "But this Marshal Hu can do it... I said that he is good at dancing and has no taboos. As long as he is not caught, he has nothing to do." Hu Zongxian did not hesitate to cooperate with the strict party and negotiate with pirates. Therefore, it makes sense for Xu Wei to say this.
Chen also believed in his judgment, and said with a little worried expression: "Mr. Lin likes to go astray, but he is actually playing with fire."
The room was in a state of sank, but Xu Wei broke the quiet and smiled and said, "Actually, you are also the righteous one. The imperial envoy represents the emperor. Once you make a statement, even Beijing will not object." "Yes, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, the eldest son said, "Then, I am talking to you--you must help the Grandmaster.) Your relationship is so good, you will definitely help him, yes, Ba?"
"No." Chen shook his head and said, "If I were not this imperial envoy, I could naturally speak for Hu Zongxian. But the auxiliary (8 sent me on this mission, everyone in the world knew about my relationship with Hu Zongxian, and they were staring at me. As long as I thought I was a little favoritism, the memorial of impeachment would fill the Tongzhengsi. As a result, not only would I not be able to help him, but I would also suffer.
"Yes, the old man asked Zhu Yan to be the imperial envoy, which was like putting a tight hoop on Sun Wu Zi." Xu Wei's contempt for Xu Jie had reached the point of calling him an "old man". He said vividly: "If he follows his wishes, the imperial envoy's signature shines brightly and is very majestic; but if it goes against his will, the spell will be
I thought of it, it is better to be dead than to discipline you." Well said." Chen touched his forehead, as if there was really a golden thing on it, and he laughed dryly: "But it is not that miserable. It is thousands of miles away from Beijing, and I am not a puppet." As he said, he comforted the eldest son and said, "I will try my best to help Marshal Hu, you must believe me. "Of course I believe in you one by one, ten, r one." The eldest son nodded) and said, "What do I need me to do;!" "Prepare the troops." Chen smiled and said, "Of course it is not to let you attack without authorization. If General Yu ordered, I hope you can go out immediately." "This is no problem." The eldest son nodded again.
\
In the afternoon of the same day, Chen received a letter sent by Yu Dayou. The letter expressed his welcome to the imperial envoy, and apologized for not being able to rush back. He also asked him to take care of his illness. All requests could be made to Yao Changzi and be polite and slightly distant, but it was in line with Yu Dayou's temper.
After two more days, he announced that he was recuperating. On the fifth day, someone finally came to visit him.
The first one to come was Chen Jing. He arrived near the water tower first, and hurried over with more than a dozen doctors and several loads of medicines and supplements. He saw Chen eating hot pot with sweat on his head. He was so angry that he blew up and rushed over, just like he was trying his best.
Chen quickly blocked him with chopsticks and smiled and said, "It's better to come sooner than you can. I remember what you like the most when I cooked beef noodle hotpot. " "You still remember." Chen Jing sat down angrily, took the chopsticks and said, "Aren't you lie? As soon as I heard that you are sick, I put down my work and ran over... "Okay, okay, I can't take you off." Chen poured him wine and said, "For the sake of our three brothers reunion for a long time, please forgive me." The eldest son there also mentioned Chen and explained, "The current situation is too chaotic, and I have made this bad decision."
Chen Jing's face looked better and he complained, "Can you say hello in advance next time? I'll worry about it in vain." "Okay, okay." Chen agreed and punished himself for three more times. Chen Jing finally stopped getting angry and laughed, "Actually, I guess there's something wrong with you." "How did you see it?" Chen asked with a smile.
"It took only half an hour to take a boat from the island to Shanghai." Chen Jing smiled sly, "If you are really sick, you will definitely go to Shanghai to recuperate. Why should you take it on Chongming Island, which is short of medical treatment and medicine, and the water is salty and bitter." Chen thought, it was true that gangue is true, but it doesn't matter whether it is true or not. However, he still praised Chen Jing's ghost spirit. Chen Jing felt very helpful and said proudly, "You have to have me so that you won't be exposed." "Oh?" Chen asked with a smile, "How did you help me?"
"Since the day before yesterday, people have been asking me if you are really sick and why don't you come to Shanghai or Suzhou to recuperate..." Chen Jing said, "I said I am sick, but I have to soak in hot springs on the island every day, so I can't live without Chongming County for a while." "Is there a hot spring on the island?" The eldest son widened his eyes and said, "I just said it casually." Chen Jing rolled his eyes and said, "Who knows what's on such a big island?" Seeing that his cup was empty, Chen poured him another glass of wine and said, "Thank you for helping me get rid of my lie."
"You're welcome." Chen Jing clapped his hands, and the followers carried a few loads in and put them in the hall. After they went down, Chen Jing said, "Except for one of the medicinal materials I brought, the rest are gift spoons that others asked me to give you." "Oh..." Chen said lightly: "Who are there?"
"Look at it for yourself." Chen Jing took out a stack of gift lists from his sleeve and handed them to him. Chen took them and looked through them one by one. He saw Tang Kekuan's name first, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Why is it him?"
"Don't you know?" Chen Jing said: "He was imprisoned in prison for several years, but later Zhao Wenhua committed a crime. Several old friends in the Ministry of War tried to pardon him. Now, General Yu stationed troops in Zhapu, and used his eldest son as a horn to protect Su Song." He said, "He has invested a lot of money, and half of the gifts in it were given by him... It seems that even the stubborn man can figure it out even if he walks around the gate of hell."
The handsome and arrogant general appeared in front of Chen Zhi's eyes. Looking at his humble greeting letter now, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling a little regretful.
He gathered his mind and looked through the next gift list, and walked out of the general Liu Xian of Langshan... Liu Xian was originally a general officer of Zhejiang. Later, in order to support his confidant Lu Tong, Hu Zongxian transferred him to Fujian as general officer. Later, the court proposed to set up a general officer in Langshan to control the north and south of the Yangtze River and transfer Liu Xian to him. But this matter was not as important as it sounded. Langshan was in Tongzhou, Yangzhou Prefecture, and was the second line of defense of the Yangtze River... It was still acceptable to have the Japanese pirates not pacified, but now the Japanese tide on both sides of the Yangtze River has disappeared, and the strategic center in the southeast has been moved to the offshore and Fujian-Guangzhou area, so he, the general of Langshan, has completely sat on the bench.
There was also the process of Deputy General Su Song, and Deputy General Li Xi and others of Langshan also had their own gifts. Chen looked at it again. The gifts were all generals from the generation of Nanzhi. Perhaps because of the long road or for other reasons, there was no movement.
At the same time, in the backyard of the Hangzhou Governor's Office, a man with a thin figure, white head and dressed in an outsider, was ecstatic by a flower tree.
It was a wintersweet with vigorous branches and black wrapped around the traces of time. Yesterday it snowed a little more, and the snow powder was scattered on the branches, as if it had already died. But at the top of such branches, there were countless tender yellow petals, crystal clear, and blooming without fear of wind and snow.
Since the flowers bloomed, he has been watching every day. Only then can he abandon all kinds of distractions and enjoy a moment of tranquility. However, even this small enjoyment is not guaranteed, because the flowering period is about to end... Look at the petals so crystal clear, they are frozen by ice and snow. When the weather turns warmer for two days, it is time to turn into mud.
As he looked, a tear slid down from the corner of his eyes, flowing down the deep wrinkles to the corner of his mouth, a hint of bitterness, calling him back from his wandering state, and then he realized his incompetence.
As soon as I came to my senses, I heard a low-pitched argument in the corridor in the distance, saying, "You can't go in, our Grandmaster is resting." Then there were the messy footsteps.
He quickly took a deep breath, pretended to be confused, twisted his tears away, and whispered: "What's the matter?"
"Dongweng." Mr. Zheng, a member of the mansion, leaned forward and said respectfully: "Wang Zhongcheng is here again." Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged official wearing a half-old fourth-rank official uniform with swollen eyes, blistered corners of his mouth, and a horse whip in his hand appeared in front of him, and said sarcastically: "It turns out that the Budang is sleeping while standing."
"I can't sleep." The man was the Prince of Ming Dynasty in the eyes of the storm, and Hu Zongxian, who was the governor of the military and political affairs of the six southeastern provinces. The one who was brave enough to face him was the only Zhejiang Governor Wang Bengu in the southeastern region who dared to go against him. Hu Zongxian said lightly: "Get out of the yard and have a walk."
Wang Bengu was not in the mood to whine to him and said, "Governor General, you must send troops today, otherwise my people will be driven out of Quzhou!"
"I have already said it." Back to political affairs, Hu Zongxian also restored the temperament of Ming Mu, with a deep gaze and a firm tone, saying word by word: "This soldier cannot be sent. The other party's rude offended his authority, so Hu Zongxian was of course not angry. "Why?" Wang Bengu stared at a pair of goldfish eyes and asked with a hissing: "Why!" "You are now a governor, not a policeman." Hu Zongxian said lightly: "I have no obligation to explain to you.
Wang Bengu's face suddenly turned red. Although he was only the seventh rank of the inspector, he had the title of imperial envoy. However, outside the officialdom, he had the right to impeach everyone in the Zhejiang officialdom, including Hu Zongxian. Who dared to give him a bird's aura at that time? Unexpectedly, now he was promoted to the fourth rank and became the governor, but he was excluded from the power circle. He could not transfer any of the arrogant soldiers and generals in the southeast. If he wanted to do something, he was heavily restrained and had difficulty walking.
Now that he was in trouble, Hu Zongkang stood by and took advantage of the situation, which made Wang Bengu, who was already irritable, unable to hold back any longer. The goatee was so angry that he whipped Hu Zongxian with a bang, and with a bang, a whip whipped Hu Zongxian... The wintersweet next to him immediately fell like rain.
Mr. Zheng immediately changed his face. He knew how much the commander liked this wintersweet. He looked at it secretly. Sure enough, he saw Hu Zongxian's face turned pale. But Wang Bengu didn't care about those, and he said angrily: "The soldiers fought hard in front, but the Governor was sabotaging the situation behind! Why are you so selfish? Do you really have to support the bandits and be respectful!"
"Wang Zhongcheng, be careful!" Hu Zongxian shouted softly, moved his eyes away from the almost bald wintersweet tree, staring at Wang Bengu's eyes like a lion, and asked word by word: "Who caused what happened today, why should I slander me for raising enemies?!"
"It's true that I first decided to seal off the silver mine." Under Hu Zongxian's stare, Wang Bengu couldn't help but shrink his neck, but immediately realized that the loser could not lose, and said hard: "But the imperial court issued a few times last year, asking for rectification of local mining and strictly prohibiting renters from mining. Did you forget, Grandmaster?"
"Did the court want you to force the people to rebel?" Hu Zongxian said coldly.
"This... I didn't expect it to be like this." Wang Bengu knew that he was in a loss and said, "It's too late to say anything now. The number of rebels is already late. They occupied the mountain, set up camp and rebelled openly!" As he said, he raised his tone and said, "And because he is located at the junction of the three provinces, I cannot cross the border. As the governor of the Southeast, you are the governor of the six provinces, and you have to take care of this matter without paying attention." "Okay, you can cross the border with this skill.
