Xu Wenchang also followed and said: "Heavenly wolf, I know that this time you and them, especially with Xu Hai, can be regarded as friends of life and death, I also know that you Jianghu men value love and righteousness, and pay attention to kindness must be repaid, but these personal favors are just private favors, they are committed to me and the people, but it is a national enmity, I have discussed this matter with the ministry many times, at most, we can only do it here to give them the official recruitment as agreed, but if the emperor has a murderous intention, it is not something we can stop." ”

Tianluo shook his head: "But we all know very well that let Wang Zhi, and so many of his subordinates, and even Chen Sipan go to the sea to be a coward, to put it bluntly, it is still the unrealistic sea ban policy, the emperor himself does not have to rely on the sea to eat, but a ban has cut off the livelihood of millions of people, even if there is no Wang Zhi, there will be others who will take this road, that is Chen Sipan, didn't he later find Xiao Xian to hook up with the Japanese, and he also raped with the Francophone wolf Bèi?" If Wang Zhi and Xu Hai are killed, it will cut off everyone's way back, and please think twice about Governor Hu. ”

Hu Zongxian said coldly: "Heavenly wolf, I told you, recruit tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of widows, all I can do is to disarm the ordinary soldiers and return them to the field, and let them become the people of my Ming Dynasty again, and the sea ban you mentioned, I will also go to the emperor, and gradually unravel it in the future, but Wang Zhi, Xu Hai and others, who are the leaders, are full of crimes, if they don't get a fair trial in the end." If you pay for your crimes, then the great traitors and evildoers in the future will also follow suit. ”

Sky Wolf was a little anxious. The voice that spoke raised a little: "Governor Hu, aren't you afraid that in this way, no one will trust the imperial court in the future?" ”

Hu Zongxian's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a deep voice: "Heavenly wolf, the court is true to its word, and it never asks, but the first evil must be investigated." If there are still such thieves in the future, as long as the ordinary soldiers below surrender, they can still be blamed in the past. But incitement, the leader who leads these people, cannot be forgiven, and this is called divide and rule. I'm Ming. There are also previous dynasties and dynasties that have treated rebellions in various places in this way. ”

The wolf sighed: "Governor Hu, both good and evil will be rewarded, even for the great traitors, you are so treacherous, are you not afraid of retribution in the future?" ”

Hu Zongxian stood up and slapped the big case heavily, with a loud voice: "Don't be afraid!" As long as the southeast coast can be clarified. If the people are safe, I, Hu Zongxian, will go down in history. If there is any retribution when you come up, come at me, I'll bear it!"

Xu Wenchang saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so he hurriedly snorted, came out of the round, first looked at Hu Zongxian, and said: "Ministry, the wolf has offended you by saying nothing for a while, please forgive me, for his sincere sake, don't worry about him." ”

He turned his head to look at the Heavenly Wolf, but said in his mouth: "Heavenly Wolf, the Lord of the Ministry of Education is worried day and night about this recruitment, and he hasn't eaten and rested for many days. ”

The wolf glanced at Hu Zongxian, and saw that he was indeed sunken in his eyes, his eyes were full of red silk, and his cheeks, which were quite full, had sunk a lot, it seemed that it was indeed very hard for a while, and he was a little sorry in his heart, and felt that it was really inappropriate for him to curse him like that just now, so he clasped his fists and saluted: "Governor Hu, the wolf was offended by his words just now, please forgive me." ”

Hu Zongxian's anger disappeared a little, he realized that it was not appropriate to be angry with a junior like this, and it would also lose his identity, he sat back in his seat, his face softened a little, and said calmly: "Sky wolf, I know that you are from the rivers and lakes, you are righteous, and you value friendship, but Wang Zhi and Xu Hai are different from ordinary knights in the rivers and lakes, they do a lot of evil, and they have a lot of blood debts, we said last time, if we can't give due punishment to such a thief, then we can't prevent thieves from following in their footsteps and continuing to be widows in the future." ”

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Guo's great government said that only the virtuous can subdue the people with leniency, and the second is as fierce as fierce. Those who are on fire are feared by the people, so they rarely die. The water is cowardly, and the people play with it, so it is more dead, so it is difficult to be lenient. Do you know what this means, Sirius? ”

Tian Wolf didn't read too much when he was a child, and he only knew a little about the Four Books and Five Classics, so he hadn't heard this passage, so he shook his head and said, "Please also ask Governor Hu for advice." ”

Hu Zongxian looked at Xu Wenchang and said, "Wenchang, you can talk about it." ”

Xu Wenchang said: "Zi Chuan is to say, if you want to govern the country, the best way is of course to lenient punishment and loose the law, to convince people with virtue, but this requires the ruler to have a very high moral level, can convince the people, if you can't do it, then it is better to use the same severe punishment as fire, fire is a terrible thing, the people are afraid when they see it, far away, so they die less, and the water looks very easy to approach, the people will get close to the water, go into the water to play, but there are many people who can be drowned, so the harsh law can make people fearful, Let more people dare not break the law, and if benevolent government does not punish violators, it will cause more people to break the law and finally go to a dead end. ”

The heavenly wolf's heart was bright, and he said: "You mean that if Wang Zhi and Xu Hai are not executed, the majesty of the law will not be displayed, and more people will go to the sea to become thieves, is that what you mean?" ”

Hu Zongxian didn't speak, Xu Wen sighed, and said: "Since ancient times, for the rebel leaders, they are often to be executed after Zhao'an, in order to set an example, especially Wang Zhi led the Japanese invasion, it is a great crime, and he must die, even if we leave him alive, the emperor will issue an edict to kill him, and several other leaders such as Xu Hai, Mao Haifeng and others should not be able to escape this ending, as for the other little minions, they can open the net, or be incorporated into the official army, or let them disperse, this is the so-called first evil must be done, Never asking, it is also the greatest mercy to the thieves. ”

The wolf said loudly: "This is not treachery and what is it, we said that we were recruiting peace to Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, but we just deceived people ashore, and in the end we had to take people's lives, not to mention whether their subordinates would mutiny because of this, just talk about the morality of being a man." Can you really have a clear conscience? ”

Hu Zongxian said in a deep voice: "Those who govern the country can't talk too much about this conscience, Heavenly Wolf, your set of Jianghu morality will not work." It can't deter the resentful Diao people, that is, the ruling son of Zheng Guo I just mentioned, his successor did not listen to him, and blindly showed leniency and mercy to the bandits in the territory, and finally caused the domestic thieves to swarm, even the bandits from other countries also ran to the territory of Zheng Guo to make trouble, and finally Zheng Guo's army was exhausted. Fighting rebellions everywhere, I don't know how many more people were killed to quell these rebellions, and only then did the successor understand the true meaning of the law. ”

The wolf said loudly: "But Zichan also said it. Those who are virtuous can be lenient, this Wang Zhi and Xu Hai went to the sea to force the sea ban, and they can't be blamed all on them, and I have seen Wang Zhi's dominance over his subordinates with my own eyes. His subordinates are really convinced of this boss. If we really execute Wang Zhi, the tens of thousands of people under his command will never collapse on their own because the dragons are leaderless, but will only form large and small groups of pirates and go to sea again as pirates, and then the entire southeast coast will not be at peace!"

Hu Zongxian's face changed, and he said coldly: "Most of the reason why the Japanese can become powerful is because of the Japanese. Relying only on these coastal Diao people, at most is Chen Sipan. Just my current Fujian Navy Division can be eliminated, Sky Wolf, don't exaggerate Wang Zhi's strength, and say that these thieves go to the sea as thieves, they are all going for money, they will not be as loyal as you said, Wang Zhi has no money now, and there is no way to control his subordinates, so he will be forced to surrender, even if I kill Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, as long as these thieves can be well settled, or let them be officers and soldiers of the Navy Division, or give them a settling-in fee to go back to continue farming and fishing, why should they rebel? ”

The wolf said loudly: "Governor Hu, you still don't understand the way of thinking of the people in the rivers and lakes, not every pirate is a profit-seeker, this time on Shuangyu Island, even if the guards loyal to Wang Zhi knew that they would die, they stayed behind and dragged the pursuers, buying time for Wang Zhi's escape, and those Wang Zhi's subordinates who returned to rescue Shuangyu Island could obviously wait and see to save their lives, but they rushed to save Shuangyu Island, and then they fell into Chen Sipan's ambush circle. ”

"There are indeed a lot of greedy people under Wang Zhi's subordinates, but his core members, such righteous bandits, there are at least 10,000 or 20,000, these people will definitely avenge Wang Zhi, and their families and friends are not more than 100,000, if they are exterminated by force, then the southeast area, I am afraid that there will be no peace."

Hu Zongxian didn't speak, closed his eyes slightly, and stroked his three long sections, obviously the analysis of the wolf was reasonable and measured, and he had not considered it before, after a long time, he sighed: "The wolf, in fact, I can't leave Wang Zhi and Xu Hai and others alive, it's just that the emperor is a good-looking person, if he thinks that the southeast has been pacified, then naturally he will not leave Wang Zhi and Xu Hai again." ”

"You must know that the ban on the sea must be lifted, this has undoubtedly refuted the emperor's face, with his personality, how can he not find some face in other things and let out this evil breath? And even if Yan Shifan wants to kill people and get rid of witnesses, in order to cover up the things he once had with the Japanese Kou, he will spare no effort to put Wang Zhi and Xu Hai to death, the holy order is difficult to disobey, and I can't keep Wang Zhi forever. ”

The wolf's heart sank suddenly, he stayed on the spot, Hu Zongxian's words hit the soft part of his heart, the faint monarch is in power, the traitorous minister is in charge, even Hu Zongxian is powerless, after pacifying the widows, I am afraid that I will not be able to stay in this office for a long time, let alone keep Wang Zhi.

Xu Wenchang lowered his voice and said: "Sky Wolf, if you really want to save Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, then wait for Zhao'an to find a way to let them escape to Luzon or Japan, don't go back to Daming, as long as they go back to Daming, it is basically certain death, understand?" ”

Sky Wolf's eyes lit up: "But they killed Rodriguez and made a feud with the Shimazu family, is this road possible?" You must know that if you are desperate to vote, you may be blackened directly. ”

Xu Wenchang sighed: "Then it depends on their creation, there is more than one Shimazu clan in Japan, there may be a way to live in other places, after all, they still have money in their hands, as for Luzon, if they can bribe the new governor, there is still hope, no matter what, it is better than staying in Daming, and there will be no doubt about death." ”

Sky Wolf nodded: "I will find an opportunity to persuade them, but I also hope that Governor Hu can do his best to protect the two of them, I admit that I have indeed experienced life and death with them, and I am reluctant." But more importantly, I still hope that the southeast coast can be completely stabilized, and that there will not be another bloody storm because of the killing of a few people, which is definitely not the blessing of all the people. ”

Hu Zongxian nodded. He said in a deep voice: "I will consider what you said carefully, if Xu Hai can eliminate Chen Dong, Ma Ye and Shangquan Xin and the gang smoothly, then I will also intercede with the emperor and state the stakes, but I will say it again, this matter can be decided in the end." It's still the emperor, after all, I am a courtier, and I can't act against orders. Now it's better to arrange a meeting with Wang Zhi's Ningbo on the third day of the next lunar month. ”

The Celestial Wolf breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled, "It should be so. ”

After coming out of Hu Zongxian's governor's mansion, Xu Wenchang silently walked with the heavenly wolf, on the long street late at night. During the day, the bustling city is empty. Even the hawkers who sell supper often can't stand the cold of this winter night, so they close their stalls early, leaving only the footsteps of the two of them ringing on the long street.

Walking through a secluded alley, Xu Wenchang suddenly stopped and said softly: "Sky Wolf, there is something I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Heavenly Wolf guessed a rough idea in his heart, and sighed: "Do you want to talk about Feng Wu and Lu Bing?" ”

Xu Wenchang nodded: "Not bad." I didn't want to mention it in front of the ministry just now. Because after all, he is old and doesn't understand the relationship between the children of our young people, so Feng Wu's feelings for you, I know it, she is a woman who will spare her life to love you, why would she betray you this time? How are you going to deal with their father and daughter in the future? ”

Heavenly Wolf was upset when he thought of this, and he shook his head: "I don't know, originally I entered Jinyiwei because I had an agreement with Lu Bing, to do something big and good to benefit the country and the people, save the common people, and eradicate evil spirits." After staying in Jinyiwei for a few years, I am more and more sure that my Ming Dynasty has been in turmoil, internal and external troubles, and Mongolia, such external troubles as the Japanese are scabies after all, not fatal, and the real internal worries are the root cause of the suffering of all the people in the world. ”

Xu Wenchang nodded: "So you are so obsessed with bringing down Yan Song's father and son?" ”

The heavenly wolf lowered his voice, as small as a mosquito humming, obviously he didn't want others to hear his words: "Yan Song's father and son are hateful, but don't you think that the real bane is still on the emperor." ”

Xu Wenchang's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "Heavenly wolf, be cautious!" This is a word to destroy the race. ”

Sky Wolf sneered: "I'm alone, I have no relatives and no reason, and I'm not afraid of this at all, but isn't that the case?" Without this unjust faint king, how could there be a faction between Yan Song's father and son? How can there be so many ridiculous laws and policies? ”

"Because he is not in the right position, so he is weak-hearted, not confident, and afraid that people will take away his face, so even if he knows that it is not feasible, he must make mistakes, because he is greedy for power, so he has to pretend to be a ghost, while cultivating immortals and asking, while using guò brocade guards to monitor the courtiers, the people in the world are not as good as the dragon chair under his buttocks, Brother Xu, are you full of wealth, and you want to enter the WTO Kuang Fu Sheji, just to fill the loopholes everywhere for such a faint monarch and Yongwang?"

Xu Wenchang was silent for a long time, and finally could only sigh: "Heavenly wolf, I know what you said, but as a courtier, loyalty is the first, the world is full of all kinds of injustices and darkness, if everyone is because the lord is not virtuous, and choose to go astray like Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, it will only be a big mess in the world, I don't know how many careerists will take advantage of the situation to rise up, separate and self-reliant, if the war is raging, and the four sides are fighting endlessly, then the last bitter is not the people of Limin?" ”

Sky Wolf hatefully smashed his fist on a courtyard wall beside him, this time he didn't use his internal strength, but he also hit this thick wall and shook for a while: "It's so depressing, I know that I am a faint king, but I still have to protect him." ”

Xu Wenchang smiled slightly: "The lord is not virtuous, and we need to be more loyal as courtiers, since the emperor's grace cannot benefit the people, then only rely on good ministers to benefit the people, at least Governor Hu is still such a pillar of the country, to be honest, only when I meet such a good adult, I Xu Wenchang is willing to enter the world, if the officials in the world are like Yan Song's father and son, then this turbid world is not worth my Xu Wenchang to enter, and I have to live in seclusion." ”

Sky Wolf laughed and stood with Xu Wenchang holding hands with each other.

After a while, the wolf sighed: "Your brother Xu has met an adult like Governor Hu, but my wolf may have voted for the wrong court, I thought that Lu Bing was an upright man, willing to invite the people for the people, and also a loyal minister of my Ming Dynasty, but I didn't expect that in the end he was still reluctant to give up his official position, family and power, knowing that Yan Shifan was a traitor, and even had a daughter by him once, he still chose to join forces with him, alas!"

Xu Wenchang shook his head: "Heavenly wolf, this matter has not yet been settled, don't be in a hurry to draw conclusions, after all, those things were told to you by the person who is Iga Tianchang, this person's identity is a mystery, and his motives are also suspicious, just because you didn't kill him, you are dead set on you?" I don't think that makes sense. ”

When the wolf reported to Hu Zongxian and Xu Wenchang this time about Iga Tianchang, she concealed the secret of her daughter's body, and did not say that she intended to lead her people to move to the Central Plains, but said that this person promised to help him in order to repay his kindness for not killing, when he heard this, the wolf was about to speak, but suddenly saw a figure flashing at the mouth of the dark alley in front of him, silently, and the eyes that the person threw at him were as bright as autumn water, and the wolf flashed in his mind like lightning: Is it Iga Tianchang? (To be continued......)
