In the city of Hangzhou, Yu Dayou's question surprised Tang Rumian, but he still replied: "The marshal is the military department Shangshu out of the southeast of the town, after a little anti-Japanese war, now the Japanese have been cleared, the task is completed, of course, there is another appointment in the court." "Well, eleven eleven eleven eleven one" Yu Dayou nodded) and said="If that's the case, it's okay" Everyone made a false alarm, thinking that his dementia had committed it again, but fortunately, this time it was just a question.

Tang Ruji was afraid that there would be more trouble, so he hurriedly said: "If there is nothing else, all the governors and commanders, please go back to your duties, everyone work together, don't let this time be chaotic." Helplessly, everyone didn't buy his account, Wang Xun arched his hand and said: "Zhongcheng, forgive me, the marshal's edict has not been lifted, and we dare not leave Qiao Hangzhou City." ”

Tang Ruji was speechless for a while, and Liu Xian on the side said: "It doesn't matter, we can wait for Zhongcheng to come back." He gave the former a look.

"Hmm." Tang Ruji no longer insisted, squeezed out a smile and said: "Wang Zhongcheng has already set up a banquet, let's celebrate your appointment to the knighthood." ”

Who knew that everyone looked at each other, Dudao had already had lunch, thanked him for his kindness, and left one after another.

Looking at the southeastern civil and military who didn't give face at all, Tang Ruji's nose was crooked, and he said to Liu Xian: "There is no one in your eyes, no one in your eyes!" "Lord Zhongcheng is not restless." Liu Xian was old and serious, and said in a low voice: "They didn't come for you. "Rushing at you?" Tang Ruji said. "Of course it's not me." "It's for Lord Shen." The one who said this was Wang Bengu, who had been standing aside. "Lord Chong Shen?" Tang Ruji's face was gloomy and said: "It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people." Liu Xian looked at King Qin Bengu and didn't want to say more, so he said in a sullen voice: "I didn't say that." ”

Wang Bengu couldn't help but say: "Those people are like this, although they dare not say much because of the holy decree, they must be unhappy for Hu Zongxian in their hearts, and then anger Lord Qincha, complain of his treachery, and help the court deal with their handsome." "So what?" Tang Ruji said stiffly: "As long as there is the temptation of high-ranking officials, they still don't come to Lord Shen actively, and they still resent him and hate him?" ”

Liu Xian sighed lightly and said: "It's not everyone, if you have milk, you are a mother." After speaking, he felt that this might cause a misunderstanding, so he hurriedly added: "The two Zhongcheng are naturally not." In fact, he wanted to talk about Tang Zhongcheng, but he felt that a single point was too explicit, so he brought Wang Bengu.

"I-know......" Tang Ruji naturally said very generously: "But I still think you are too worried, Lord Shen is a high-ranking official in Beijing, and he will return to the court after the fact, and he will enter the cabinet in the future, so why do you care about the mood of the southeast civil and military?" ”

"Hehe......" Wang Bengu has always looked down on Tang Rumian, and said in his heart that this is really a straw bag. But now that they are in the same boat, he still reined in his stinky mouth and patiently explained: "Brother Siji, in fact, it is not difficult to take down Hu Zongxian, he was carried away by himself, and he really thought that he was the king of the southeast, thinking that the people below would accompany him to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and fight the court to the end together." Said and sneered: "That's because he overestimated himself, didn't you look at his closest cronies Lu Bo, Jiang Yi and others, I heard that the governor of the southeast was going to be abolished, and he didn't even dare to squeak?" In the end, Yu Dayou, who was framed and imprisoned by him, asked, are you ridiculous? "Nothing funny." Zhu Wu, who had been like a clay sculpture on the side, interjected coldly: "The situation is just stronger than people." ”

"This lord of the brocade guard hit the nail on the head." Wang Bengu praised and said: "They don't dare to say it, but they won't be convinced, and it is not surprising that Yang is disobedient or even passive and slack...... So it's not difficult to get rid of Hu Zongxian, it's rare to replace him, what to do after replacing him? Said with a sad face: "The trouble in the Quzhou silver mine has spread to Jiangxi and Nanzhili; There are also the three nests of Jiangxi and Guangdong, adding up to half of the provinces controlled by the anti-thieves; Moreover, the food and salaries of the officers and men in the southeast have been in arrears for half a year, the army has already fallen into its nest, and the seaside is not quiet again...... If the Japanese rebels rise again, no one can afford this responsibility, and there are ......

He didn't say enough chatter here, and Tang Ruji over there was already so much that his head was about to explode, and he shouted to stop: "Don't say it, Brother Zimin, I'm about to be scared to death by you." ”

Wang Bengu stopped his voice and said with a bitter face: "Why don't I go to the book and let Hu Zongxian continue to work?" It's really found out in the past six months, as soon as he picks a pick, the southeast will be messed up.

Tang Ruji listened and listened, and suddenly his face changed: "Ah, if one is not good, we will all have to be unlucky?" Seeing Liu Xian and Wang Bengu's expressions, Tang Ruji sneered: "I'm afraid you don't know, remind me." "Hehe, eleven, eleven, one" Liu Xian smiled and gave him a round field = "Tang Zhongcheng is very worried) Now it's a mouse pulling a wooden shovel, and the trouble is behind, we still have to work together to tide over the difficulties." "Alas, one r, one, one one" Tang Ruji said with a sad face = "I knew it couldn't be so simple, eleven one one" complained in his heart, why didn't he say hello and poke such a hornet's nest? ――，――

After Hu Zongxian was lost, Shen sat motionless in front of the door, not knowing what he was thinking, until Xu Wei's voice sounded: "Providence has always been difficult to ask, and it is easy to get old and sad to complain...... Shen deduced, and said with a sullen face: "Even you have to blame me?" "Open a player. Xu Wei sat beside Shen Biao, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I know it's hard for you...... The old puppet forced you, Hu Zongxian complained about you, the southeast civil and military didn't understand you, you were full of splints. ”

"Hehe" Shen shook his head and said: "It's nothing, what I'm worried about is the future of the southeast, if Hu Zongxian is one, he will fall into a bad situation, and I can't explain it to the world." ”

"Haven't you been working on this all along?" Xu Wei said: "It's asking for officials and knights for them, and it's talking hard with Hu Zongxian, I think you have done everything you can do, and you don't want to blame all of them."

"Yes, it's a pity that I don't have the final say." Shen frowned slightly and said, "The current delicate situation in the southeast can only be solved by one person. "To untie the bell, you must tie the bell." Xu Wei nodded and said: "It's a puzzle laid by Hu Zongxian, and only he can peel off the cocoon and make everything return to its original state." ”

"It's up to me to see if my words are useful today." Shen said: "I came to report just now that the 100,000 Su Song soldiers led by Tang Kekuan have arrived at the border of Zhejiang, and we have not found the 5,000 elites led by Zhu Xian, it seems that we have guessed Hu Zongxian's intentions wrong." "This person is scheming, he is used to doing a dojo in a snail shell, and his Taoism is actually higher than yours. Xu Wei nodded and said, "As long as he doesn't drill the horns anymore, I believe he will make the right choice." "I hope so......" Shen sighed and said, "I accept any result." The worst thing is to go home and farm. "Let me choose, I'd rather farm than do your current job." Xu Wei smiled: "It's so sad. "Hmph......" Shen snorted, and then stopped talking, the whole person was soaked in the darker and darker sky, and gradually couldn't see the outline, only the eyes could be seen, still as bright as ever. At noon the next day, Hu Zongxian sent someone to send a message and asked him to come down the mountain to meet.

Shen wanted to get up, but suddenly found that the messenger was wearing a neat official uniform, and his heart moved) and said="You wait,...... Take my official robes) and prepare the decree. Of course, the next words are three feet.

After a meal, Shen dressed neatly, took a sedan chair down the mountain, and came to the mansion where Hu Zongxian stayed. Straight; In comparison, Shen Zhuo's three-grade crimson official robe is a little thinner and ordinary.

Shen knew that he was wearing a python robe, among the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, there was Yan Hao, and now it is Xu Jie, and the two prime ministers both wore this, and Hu Zongxian was respected as the governor of the southeast, and the official worshiped the young guard and the prince and the prince, and was also given to wear a python robe in the forty-first year of Jiajing.

Hu Zongxian, who was in a python robe and jade belt, was dignified, calm and calm, lightly brushed the long beard of the three ayas, and accepted Shen Zhuo's visit, and yesterday's lost and helpless appearance, the curtain was straight and judgmental. After Shen started his business, Hu Zongxian said lightly: "Announce the decree, Lord Qincha." ”

Shen nodded, and read out the decree that Hu Zongxian was made the Count of Zhongyong; He also read out the appointment of the secretary of the military department, Hu Zongxian listened indifferently, and when Shen finished reading, he calmly finished the big ceremony of kneeling and nine bowing, and got up and thanked Shen again. Shen hurriedly held on and said, "Don't kill the subordinate officials, the servant is just a microphone."

"Hehe......" Hu Zongxian smiled: "I know, these are all you won for me, if there is no you, waiting for me Hu someone, just walk into the prisoner car in Beijing, where is there any reward from the earl and Shangshu?" "Ashamed, ashamed......" Hu Zongxian suddenly became so reasonable again, and Shen was a little uncomfortable. "Qing Ci Qincha" Hu Zongxian asked solemnly: "How to hand over the seal letter of this seat, and who will act for the southeast affairs?" "Oh, you can leave it to me for safekeeping." Shen said: "There is an edict, and Shen Shen, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, will temporarily take care of the affairs of the southeast." "Saying that, let people show the holy oracle to Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian glanced at it, nodded and said, "This official knows." Saying that, he stretched out his hand and said, "Please ask Lord Shen to go to Hangzhou with this seat to handle the delivery matters." "&--Lives." Shen bowed his hand.

After the two nothing, Hu Zongxian and Shen arrived in Hangzhou City together, and the southeast civil and military poured out to welcome, and the two sides met in Yucheng, ten miles away.

Seeing that the handsome man was dressed in the earl's uniform of the unicorn complement, and rode side by side with Qin Cha with a smile on his face, the officials, who were originally miserable, couldn't turn around...... They felt that Hu Zongxian should be full of bad luck, so that they could fight for him.

When the team came to the front of the civil and military, Hu Zongxian squinted at everyone, swiped with a horsewhip, and pointed to everyone: "Tomorrow Japan will hold a banquet, congratulations on our great success, none of you can be missing!" "Yes!" Officials are accustomed to a uniform response.

"Okay, very good, very good......" Hu Zongxian nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to Shen Qifu and said: "Brother, this is Shilipo, exactly ten miles away from the city gate, how about I-two race?" If you win, I'll give you a big gift. After speaking, he didn't wait for Shen to agree, so he slapped the horse's buttocks and walked away. Shen smiled at everyone, quickly clamped the horse's buttocks, and followed Hu Zongxian closely. Blaming the two rolls of smoke and dust, all the civil and military forces in the southeast looked at each other, and said in their hearts that it seems that the relationship between Dashuai and Lord Shen is the same, and the brothers have not turned their faces, why should we trouble ourselves? Then they mounted their horses and followed them back to the city.

Shen chased after Hu Zongxian, his riding skills were not bad, but he couldn't compare with Hu Zongxian, who had been in Saibei for more than ten years, but fortunately, his horse was good and he could bite tightly. The two of them ran wildly one after the other, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they saw the gate of Hangzhou.

Seeing that Shen Mo couldn't catch up, Hu Zongxian suddenly pulled the rope and pressed down the speed, and before Shen could figure it out, he overtook Hu Zongxian, and when he reined in the horse, he was already standing in the doorway. "Brother, you won." Fang Cai's wild run made Hu Zongxian's complexion look much better. "Brother, you let me." Shen shook his head and smiled: "If you hadn't stopped suddenly, I wouldn't have been able to catch up with you." ”

"Yes, I stopped, but you kept going, and it was a blink of an eye to surpass me." Hu Zongxian suddenly felt a little sad, but soon couldn't see the clues, and said with a smile: "Remember today's feeling, at the level of you and me, with just a handful of bull power, the lagging one will never be able to catch up with the lead, unless the lead stops...... paused: "If he doesn't want to stop by himself, you have to drag him off the horse." ”

Shen knew that he was pointing out that he was not ruthless enough, but the change did not happen overnight, and he didn't appreciate the excessively ruthless way of being an official. But he still smiled: "Thank you brother for the gift." ”

"Just a few complaints," Hu Zongxian shook his head and said, "How can it be considered a gift?" As he spoke, he patted the dust on the official robe with a horsewhip and said: "I, Hu Zongxian, have been like a big man all my life, and I have to be big enough to be big, big and bold, big career, big ups and downs!" Of course, gifts can't be -1\o" Then I'll see. Shen smiled and said.

After entering the city, except for the guards who were five steps and one post, he didn't see half of the pedestrians, and Shen knew that this was Hu Zongxian's style of traveling, and what he wanted was this kind of majesty.

The two rode along the West Lake, at this time the early spring of the West Lake, it is the year of dry plums, the lake surface is obviously several inches lower than the embankment, but it does not affect the nourishment of the weeping willows on the shore of the lake, you can already see the tender yellow from there, and sometimes there are exciting green mixed in, and the swallows flying from the south, holding the damp soil in the nest, to the people happily announced, spring has really come.

Seeing this thriving scene, Shen had been in a somewhat depressed mood and got better, with a smile on his face; But Hu Zongxian, who had been smiling, turned his eyes sad, and involuntarily whispered: "Helplessly, the flowers are falling, and the familiar Yan has returned...... " made all the cover-ups look so pale.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when he arrived at the governor's line, Hu Zongxian regained his composure, nodded to Mr. Zheng who greeted him, and looking at his expression, Mr. Zheng knew what he thought, sighed silently, and gave a deep salute and invited them in.

After entering the house, the maid invited Shen to change clothes, Hu Zongxian also went to another conservatory to scrub, Mr. Zheng followed closely, and after entering the house, he reprimanded the maid who was waiting, and asked in a low voice: "Dong Weng, that day the governor of the yamen issued an edict, and I saw it in the dark." "Really?" Hu Zongxian Mou and his hands, Mr. Zheng untied his wide clothes, closed his eyes and asked, "How many people speak for me?" "A ......," Mr. Zheng carefully took the precious jade belt. Whispered = "The wind knows the grass, this is not bad at all, as soon as the wind blows, it will all fall down." ”

Although these were irrelevant, Hu Zongxian still felt uncomfortable, and asked in a low voice, "Who is that one?" "Yu Dayou." Mr. Zheng whispered, "This person is indeed extremely kind." ”

"It's a pity that the tiger father and the dog son......" Hu Zongxian thought of Yu Zhigao, who was fooled in a flash, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Yu Dayou: "Why can't the tiger father give birth to a tiger son?" "He thinks of his son again, isn't he also the eldest brother, don't laugh at the second brother?" It seems that Dongtu has already thought about it. Mr. Zheng said. Hehe, if I am obsessed with it again. Hu Zongxian said to the half-pulled old man in the mirror: "Will you abandon me?" Mr. Zheng said slyly: "Then you will know when you get it." ”

"Hahaha, one by one, one by one," Hu Zongxian laughed and said = "Sure enough, it's a scribe who is romantic) is calm at all times." Said emotionally: "You Zheng Kaiyang is boundless erudite, both civil and military, and you are the most outstanding military master I have ever seen, but you are under my account, although I treat you as a friend, but I am still too wronged by you." ”

Mr. Zheng said: "Where is Dong Weng, if he has only a few clothes, such as grass mustard, "but he is fortunate to give advice to the great cause of fighting against the Japanese, and he has no regrets in this life, how can he talk about grievances?" "You are free and easy, but I can't pretend to be stupid, you and I are the host, today is over, I want to plan for your future."

Mr. Zheng was stunned and said, "Fate? When you enter Beijing to take charge of the military department, don't you need someone to give advice? ”

Hu Zongxian shook his head and said: "I don't need it, I'm physically and mentally exhausted all these years, and I'm about to collapse." Said Cun said in a low voice: "As soon as I arrive in Huizhou's hometown, I will go to the book to recuperate, and I will rest for two years."
