As a feudal official, he has to go to Beijing every year to report on his work, of course, not everyone is like this, for example, Tang Shen has not entered Beijing for three years, mainly because the Japanese are concentrated in the direction of Fujian, and the war is tight.

However, Hu Zongxian has to enter Beijing every year, and his movement in Beijing is still bigger than others, and the gifts he carries have to be loaded with ships, and he is violent, for fear that others will not know that he is the first minister of the world!

"I said Brother Hu, you are currently in charge of the southeast half of the wall, hundreds of thousands of troops, what about the younger brother, you are in charge of one government and two counties, and you are different from Yunni, I really don't know what I can do to help you? If you're hungry or thirsty, I can afford to eat and drink. ”

Hu Zongxian's old face sank, and he said angrily: "Brother Xingzhi, we are also old friends, why do you refuse people thousands of miles away!" ”

"What an old friend!"

Tang Yi said-for-tat, "I said Brother Hu, have you ever looked for me?" Now that I'm running, I'm definitely in trouble, and you're calling it a front-facing employer, not a backward person! I'm stuffed, I'm not in the mood, I don't want to help, okay? ”

These words were powerful, and Hu Zongxian's face turned red when he asked, and between him and Tang Yi, I was afraid that it was 10,000 times more complicated than Tang Yi and Xu Jie.

The two of them cherish each other, and their views on the treatment of the Japanese are surprisingly consistent, they cooperate strategically, and they know each other well, in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them are the best friends in the world!

But these two goods are not good birds, Hu Zongxian has the posture of a hero, and Tang Yi is even more unwilling to be left behind. In fact, Hu Zongxian and the Tang family father and son have been fighting for the dominant power in the southeast.

On the surface, Hu Zongxian, as the governor, has the upper hand, but Tang Shen not only owns a province, but his old family Wang Chen is still the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, plus the forces left by Tang Yi, compared to Hu Zongxian, it is not much worse.

Between them, digging holes with each other and competing with each other, it is commonplace, but both sides know how to measure each other very well and will not let outsiders notice.

Hu Zongxian was silent for a while, and suddenly sneered, this time he confused Tang Yi, wouldn't this guy really turn his face?

"Okay, since you don't want to help, I won't force it, but if something finds out to your head, don't blame my brother for being soft-boned, ask for more blessings!"

After speaking, Hu Zongxian walked away.

Now Tang Yi is dumbfounded, could it be that Hu Zongxian is about to fall? That's not good, although the two sides are secretly fighting, but there are a lot of things to get rich together, in the traffic industry, in addition to the Jiangnan gentry led by Tang Yi, the biggest force from the outside world is not the Jin merchants, but the Hui merchants! It's all Hu Zongxian's township party!

The two of them are still messy, if they really come out, Tang Yi will be completely finished.

A brisk step flew out and hurriedly grabbed Hu Zongxian's sleeve, Tang Yi accompanied the smiling face, and said: "Brother is still so individual, a few jokes, how can you take it seriously, don't worry, if you have anything to say, just tell me, promise to do it for my brother, who of us will be with whom!" ”

Tang Yi is so kind, like two people.

Hu Zongxian was quite speechless, and said in his heart that if Lao Tzu hadn't really encountered trouble, he would have turned around and left, and if he stayed for a while, his stomach would hurt! Of course, he only dared to think that there were only a handful of people who could really help him in today's chaos.

In fact, Hu Zongxian carries a lot of gifts every year for his debriefing, and he is helpless to give gifts to this one and to offer to that. With no experience as an official in Beijing, Hu Zongxian did not have a strong network of contacts.

Over the years, he was able to sit firmly on the throne of the governor of the southeast, in addition to his own outstanding military achievements, it was Jiajing's appreciation, and after the death of Zhao Wenhua, he did not care about the cost, and befriended Yan Song and Yan Shifan, especially Yan Shifan, beauty, gold and silver, rare treasures, and sent a basket.

It is precisely by relying on the support of the Yan Party that he is as stable as Mount Tai, but now that the Yan Party has a problem and has become stormy, Hu Zongxian can't sit still.

"Okay, when I entered Beijing this year, I first sent someone to give Xu Ge Lao a big gift, including a set of white jade cups that I carefully selected, a total of nine, each of which is worth a fortune, and the rest of the gifts are countless, which is the same as Yan Ge Lao's."

Tang Yi listened and said lightly: "What's the matter, my brother is preparing two boats of teaching materials?" ”

"Don't say it so ugly, okay." Hu Zongxian said dejectedly: "Xu Ge always accepted the gift, but let people send me a word. ”

"What?"

"The wind blows down the plane tree, and others judge the short and long!"

Burst!

Tang Yi spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and he couldn't help but give Xu Jie a thumbs up, Xu Ge is really black-bellied.

How to think about this sentence and how to make sense, but obviously, Hu Zongxian thought of the worst possibility.

"Brother Merlin, do you think Elder Xu Ge wants to take you down?"

"Isn't it?" Hu Zongxian raised his voice and said in frustration: "Everyone says that I, Hu Zongxian, am a strict party, but in fact, I have never been disrespectful to him Xu Jie, and the gifts that should be given have never stopped, the Xu family has annexed so many fields in the southeast, and I have suppressed how many people sue the Xu family." Okay, you know me, I just want to calm down the Japanese and restore the southeast Taiping, I will retire to the forest, Gan Lao's life, and I don't want to get involved. ”

Tang Yi believed this, but in fact, he didn't want to get involved, but he was in the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't help himself.

Tang Yi paced back and forth on the ground with his hands behind his back, thought for a long time, and suddenly slapped his head.

"Oh, Brother Merlin, you seem to have misunderstood what Xu Jie's meant?"

"Oh?" Hu Zongxian suddenly asked curiously: "How do you say it?" ”

Tang Yi looked up at the sky outside, thick clouds rolled, occupying half of the sky in an instant, dark and thick, it wouldn't be long before a heavy snow would come again.

"Brother Merlin, the only person in my Ming Dynasty who can call the wind and rain is the emperor, as for who will let the wind and rain blow? Only the Cabinet! Xu Huating wants to tell you that the Yan Party will inevitably fall, and the big storm set off by their fall will blow to the southeast, and you will not be spared, but you must do a good job, and if someone else helps you speak, you will not be ruined. ”

Hearing Tang Yi's analysis, Hu Zongxian's eyes suddenly widened, and he was pleasantly surprised, and asked, "Could it be that Xu Ge always promised to let me fall over, and he would keep me safe?" ”

Tang Yi suddenly smiled, "It's not right or wrong, all in all, it's up to you to understand it yourself, and I can't say it well." ”

Don't bring such!

Hu Zongxian was about to cry, he had been in the southeast for a long time, and he was deceitful with the Japanese and the Japanese, fighting all day long, Hu Zongxian was familiar with it. But when he arrived in Beijing, these big people came and went, and he couldn't adapt to the puzzle-like gameplay.

Take Xu Jie's words as an example, it makes sense for you to think about the good and the bad, but how to choose is really embarrassing.

Seeing Hu Zongxian's pitiful appearance, Tang Yi couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Merlin, let's dig out our hearts and say something, as a minister of Yan Xu, you shouldn't be involved in the matter between Yan and Xu." At most, it is to wait for the two parties to decide the winner, you say that it is, after all, the world is still Your Majesty's, as long as Your Majesty relies on you, maybe the trouble is not too big......" Tang Yi said and said, he couldn't go on, thinking of Hu Zongxian's bleak end in history, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Hu Zongxian's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth, "Okay, I am not reluctant to give up my position, but I am unwilling!" It's just that this time, my brother is really in trouble, and I gave Xu Jie's gift to Yan Shifan to know! ”

"Huh?"

Tang Yi exclaimed, "I said Brother Merlin, how can you make such a mistake, Yan Shifan is a careful person, he will definitely take revenge!" ”

"He's got his revenge." Hu Zongxian said helplessly: "Old Mrs. Yan died, I originally went to mourn with a generous gift, but I was driven out by Yan Shifan!" ”

Hu Zongxian was full of grief and indignation, clenching his fists with a clucking sound, what a proud person he is, hitting a wall in a row, where to put an old face?

What embarrassed Hu Zongxian even more was that Zhu Bajie looked in the mirror, he was not a person inside and out, Xu Dang's attitude was obscure, and Yan Dang's side resented himself, no matter who made a move, it was enough for him to drink a pot.

is different from Tang Yi, although Hu Zongxian is in a high position, his roots are not deep, and he has not been careful enough to do things over the years, which has offended many people.

Without the protection of Yan Dang, he will become a target in an instant.

Moreover, at the critical moment of the confrontation between Yan and Xu, the old and the new in the imperial court alternated, and the most important thing was the military power, so there must be no chaos, take down Hu Zongxian, and cut off the arm of the Yan Party, Xu Jie's will not give up this kind of good thing.

Tang Yi pondered for a while, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "I said Brother Merlin, how did you get to this point?" ”

"Hmm!"

Hu Zongxian kept a calm face and did not speak.

Full of strategy, the knowledge of leading troops to fight, in the face of the court situation, all of them are useless.

Powerlessness, is powerlessness!

Since ancient times, the eyes of leading soldiers are just not able to play Wenchen. How about Wang Yangming, who was sanctified on the ground, he was not eaten to death, and if he went forward, Yue Fei and Di Qing were not all played to death by others.

The progress of the bureaucratic system is very rapid, and the generals who lead the troops have no possibility of a successful rebellion.

Especially Hu Zongxian, he climbed too high, and the end was almost doomed.

Even if Tang Yi has the ability to reach the sky, it is even more difficult to help him...... No, wait!

Tang Yi suddenly remembered the old Yan Song he had just met, he said that he would hand over the power of the Yan Party to himself, and now Hu Zongxian has appeared again.

Is it a coincidence, or is it intentional?

Tang Yi came to Hu Zongxian and said fiercely: "Brother Merlin, tell me the truth, did Elder Yan Ge let you come?" ”

"Yan Ge Lao? How so? Hu Zongxian was surprised: "Okay, don't you think I'm going to calculate you?" ”

Tang Yi sat on the chair and sighed, "It's not Brother Merlin who calculates me, but Yan Song calculates me!" Tang Yi pondered for a long time, although he was very reluctant to be used by others, but Yan Song's move was too high, and he had to follow.

Hu Zongxian saw Tang Yi frowning and glaring, his face was bitter and hateful, and he said in his heart that he had entered Beijing, how could he be nervous, and the words he said were strange and confusing.

The room was so depressed that it was suffocating, and suddenly Tang Yi spoke, "Brother Merlin, are you interested in taking over the book of the military department?" (To be continued.) )
