Hu Hui's fame in the official history has never been too great, but he is a powerful figure in the wild history and later novels.

This person not only passed the Jinshi examination at a young age, but his official career was also quite smooth, but what really made his name pass on to future generations was because of Emperor Yongle's trust in him, and he assigned him a secret and arduous task to carry out - to search for the mysteriously missing Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen!

When Zhu Di launched a rebellion in the name of Fengtian Jingjing and smashed Yingtian Nanjing City to achieve the final victory, something happened that made him both happy and headache. The palace suddenly caught fire, and then Emperor Jianwen, who was supposed to be in it, mysteriously disappeared.

On the one hand, the disappearance of Emperor Jianwen made it easier for Zhu Di to sit on the throne justifiably. After all, the banner he played was only to make peace, and it was only for the sake of the Qing monarch, not to rebel and seize the throne of his nephew. If Zhu Yunwen is still in power, he will need a lot of work if he wants to really sit on the throne of the Son of Heaven. And now, as soon as a person disappears, he can naturally replace him on the grounds that the country cannot be without a king for a day.

However, Joo's disappearance will always be a thorn in the bucket for Yongle, as no one knows when he will reappear. Although a fugitive emperor who has lost the throne has no soldiers and no power, as long as this banner is there, it is enough to pose a great threat to the imperial court. You must know that the later braided dynasty of a legendary third prince Zhu made trouble for them for hundreds of years, which made people panic, not to mention that Zhu Yunwen's identity was still the real emperor at the beginning.

So in order to get rid of the troubles, Yongle spent a lot of effort after becoming emperor and sent countless people all over the world to find Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts. Among them, there is a group of people and horses that Zheng He is looking for from the sea, and another leader who is looking for his whereabouts in various parts of the Central Plains is this Hu Hu Butang.

At that time, Hu Hu was still a young man about thirty years old, and in order to find the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, he traveled almost all over the country, even the inaccessible deep mountains and old forests, as well as the more remote Miao area. As for whether there is a clue to find Zhu Yunwen, or even find him himself, no one knows.

It is precisely because of this merit and Hu Hu's good background that after four dynasties, he finally stood at the top of the court and became the only existence under the cabinet auxiliary ministers-the Ministry of Officials. Moreover, because of the previous search experience, he also has military attache connections that ordinary civilian officials do not have, especially in Jinyiwei, which is extremely prestigious.

In fact, after Ji Gang was killed, if he Hu Hu nodded, I am afraid that Yongle would not hesitate to give him the position of commander, if this is the case, Jinyiwei's power will not fall to the point where it is now completely crushed to death by Dongchang. But after all, he was born in Wenchen and did not accept such a conversion. But the merit and seniority are here, and in the end it becomes a strange existence with both civil and military skills.

Lu Zhen didn't know much about Hu Hui, but he also knew that this was an old minister of the Yongle Dynasty who had found Emperor Jianwen, so he subconsciously wanted to ask this old man if he had ever found Emperor Jianwen. But after all, he didn't dare to say this, so he could only give a respectful salute.

When Lu Zhen got up to salute, Hu Hu was also looking the young man up and down. After a while, he touched the beard under his chin and said, "Why, do you feel strange that the old man came to save you?" ”

"The boss Gao Yi came to the rescue, and the officials didn't dare to doubt it, but they were just surprised that the people of Jinyiwei were willing to do this for the boss." Lu Jin hurriedly found a reason to prevaricate, he didn't dare to say that he was surprised because he knew what the other party had done before.

Hearing this, Hu Hu sighed a little gloomy: "If it was ten years ago, it would have been easier for the old man to save you." But now, there are only a few people like Yang Zhen who can make a move in this matter. Now, one more ......"

"Thank you for your righteous action, the lower officials are really ashamed." Lu Jinxi hurriedly thanked him again.

"You don't have to thank me, that's what an old man should do. You are willing to take the risk of offending Wang Zhen for the sake of the court, and you don't even care about your own safety. If the old man doesn't even save you at this time, then he will be really ashamed of being a person, and even more ashamed of being the secretary of the ministry. While speaking, Hu Hu made a gesture of please, and he sat on the main seat first.

Lu Jin saw him sit down, and then returned to the guest seat just now. Seeing his calm appearance, Hu Hu secretly praised in his heart. Because in the past two years, when ordinary officials are alone with themselves, many of them will become trembling, let alone such a young county magistrate. No wonder he dared to do such a thing, and dared to talk eloquently at the court meeting, obviously his courage is very comparable.

After taking a sip of tea and moistening his throat, Hu Hui said: "There is no need to say anything else, the old man just has a question, you are just a small border county magistrate, how dare you do such a thing?" If the old man got good news, the reason why you came to the capital was because of Wang Zhen's arrangement. ”

Under the gaze of the other party's scrutinizing gaze, Lu Zhen didn't panic at all, but just smiled and said: "Actually, before the lower officials came to the capital, they didn't know why they were transferred by the imperial court. It was only after arriving in Tongzhou that I learned that it was actually the prince who wanted to use my mouth to promote the use of troops on the border. At that time, the lower officials felt that this matter could not be done. ”

"But why?" Hu Hu gently put the tea bowl on the coffee table, stared at the other party's eyes and said, "The old man has read a report from the Datong General Army, which mentioned that you intend to use tougher means to deal with the Mongolian people in the north. ”

Lu Zhen didn't mean to dodge at all, and looked straight at the other party: "Yes, this is indeed the true idea of the lower official." However, the hard-line attitude I am talking about is not to use troops against them immediately, let alone to send troops to the north now.

"Although Xia Guan is not talented, some things are still clear. Although my Ming Dynasty now has the atmosphere of prosperity, in terms of military strength, it is far inferior to the Yongle Dynasty, especially the various shortcomings in the official army of the guard station cannot be easily turned, otherwise there will be many incidents. ”

"You know that?" Hu Hu asked in some surprise. He was at the top of the imperial court, so he naturally knew about it. But a border county magistrate actually knows such a situation, which is really unbelievable.

"It's just a matter of seeing the subtleties." Lu Zhen smiled: "There are many corrupt things in my Guangling garrison, and there are even a lot of vacancies. And that is still a border pass where you need to be on guard against the invasion of the Mongols at all times, so you can imagine what the officers and soldiers of the other state capital guards who have always been peaceful look like. ”

Hearing this, Hu Hui's face sank slightly, followed by another sigh. There are some things that he knows about their shortcomings, but because they are too involved, and it is not easy to really start, he can only be regarded as invisible. However, he also knows that this kind of malaise has always been there, and if it is not solved, the problem will get worse and worse until it is out of control.

Lu Jin's words continued: "In addition, it is the reasons mentioned by Xia Guan in the court today, and this is just a little shallow opinion of Xia Guan himself. If there is something missing, I hope that Mr. Hu can advise. ”

Hu Hu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You have seen this matter very thoroughly, there are some things that the old man does not think far, how can you advise?" Even the slow response measures you have proposed are quite reasonable, and this may be able to cure all kinds of shortcomings in the army today. ”

"The old man praised it falsely." Lu Jinxi said modestly.

It seems that because he found that the young man in front of him did have some talents, Hu Hui's talking personality also came up: "Do you know that although the future is called a prosperous world, it is actually full of hidden worries, which cannot be solved overnight." In comparison, things in the army are just trivial. ”

"This ...... Xia Guan has only been in the official career for a short time, but his knowledge of this is very limited. In order not to expose his knowledge reserves, Lu Zhen could only take a step back: "However, with Lord Hu, as well as several cabinet elders and other important ministers presiding over the overall situation, plus the wisdom of the Son of Heaven, some problems should not be difficult for you, right?" ”

"Isn't it difficult?" Hu Hu laughed: "Just one Wang Zhen is enough to keep us busy." This person is very ambitious, and wanting to lend troops to the grassland is just one of his thoughts, and there are countless other things, so you don't know if you are not in the court. It turned out that there were still a few old ministers pressing him, but as soon as Yang Shiqi went this year, his momentum became even stronger. If one day old ministers like me and Yang Ge Lao leave one by one, I am afraid that this person will become the biggest disaster for my Ming Dynasty! ”

Lu Zhen nodded yes, but it was difficult to answer. He can't say that your old inference is correct, Wang Zhen will inflict fatal damage on this prosperous world in a few years, right?

Seeing that he couldn't answer himself on this matter, Hu Hu was no longer reluctant. After laughing for a while, he said with some curiosity: "The old man is still puzzled, where did you get the courage to dare to be such an enemy of Wang Zhen?" This time you have offended him miserably, if the old man hadn't sent someone in time, I'm afraid you and your family would have ended up ......"

"The lower officials only want to be worthy of their hearts, and they have also made arrangements before, thinking that they can escape from the capital. I don't want the prince's methods to be so powerful, so it's ......" Lu Zhen smiled bitterly.

"I see, don't you really know how powerful it is? What if you were given another choice now? Hu Hu said, staring at Lu Jin.

Lu Zhen didn't hesitate for a moment and said, "Xia Guan will still make such a choice. The life and death of the profit-seeking country is avoided, and it avoids it because of misfortune! Subconsciously, he said the famous sentence made by Lin Zexu in the later generations.

Hearing these two poems, Hu Hui's expression changed, he even sat up straight, and said loudly: "Okay! Just listen to this poem to know that you are a human being, and I am not alone! ”

In other words, poetry is really good poetry, no matter the courage and gallbladder, it really shouldn't be used as a stalk on the Internet, and I hope you don't make fun of it.
