Chapter 287: Gambling outside the city

Winter has arrived, and the snow covers thousands of miles.

Ordinary people can't even go out, so they can only stay at home, relying on food storage and a few pickles to survive.

The cold winter wax moon is really not a good day to send troops to fight.

Marching, transporting food, and fighting were all extremely difficult.

However, a holy decree was issued, ordering Hu Zong, the governor of the northern border, to go to the Tongzhou Guard Station to inspect the five military camps that had just completed the assembly.

It is called the review army, but in fact it is the final preparation before the war.

With all the generals, it is the Northern Expedition to recover Yunzhou City.

"Congratulations to Governor Hu."

"The army of 300,000 is all composed of elite wolf soldiers in the southwest of my Ming Dynasty."

"The wolf soldiers are not afraid of death, and they are extremely brave, which is the peak of our Ming army's combat power."

"Hu Dushuai has 300,000 wolf soldiers, enough to dominate the world!"

The eunuch of the decree looked flattering, and respectfully handed the decree to Hu Zongxian.

At this moment, Hu Zongxian, although he has been reinstated, is still dressed in cloth, as if he is an old farmer who has just returned from working in the fields.

The eunuch said: Why does this person have no official authority at all? The first person in the Ming army is this virtue, and I really have no one in the Ming Dynasty?

Hu Zongxian glanced at the eunuch lightly, how could he hide the disdain in the other party's eyes?

But he didn't get angry, but took a ticket casually.

This is the spirit stone ticket of Risheng Chang Qian Zhuang, and when you see the ticket, you will exchange it for 500 spirit stones.

"After a hard run, Hu felt ashamed, so he could only ask his father-in-law to have a cup of tea and apologize."

The eunuch skillfully took the ticket, squinted at it, and suddenly burst into joy!

Five hundred spirit stones?

Although most of the jobs such as running errands are rewarded, they are often sent with silver, and it is extremely rare to use spirit stones, not to mention such a large denomination.

"It is said that Hu Zongxian is Yan Song's party, and it is really good."

"The strict party is rich."

"Last time I went back to Xu Ge's hometown, I only gave me three baskets of tangerines, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became!"

When the eunuch saw Qian's eyes open, he looked at Hu Zongxian at this moment, and suddenly felt that his bearing was extraordinary and unfathomable.

Even the gray coarse cloth clothes on Hu Zongxian's body have an extra layer of hidden merit and fame.

The eunuch was in a good mood, and repeatedly told Hu Zongxian that when he returned to the palace to return to Emperor Jiajing, he would definitely say a few good words for him in front of His Majesty.

Hu Zongxian forced a smile, did not pierce the other party's cowhide, and respectfully sent the eunuch who represented the Son of Heaven out of the palace.

"Congratulations to the master for returning to military power!"

When Hu Zongxian returned home, he saw a group of family members and servants kneeling on the ground, their faces were full of joy, as if they had finally come out of their hardships?

Hu Zongxian stiffened.

He stared at his family for a long time, and finally felt that there was nothing to say, and even sighing was superfluous.

"Change my clothes."

The holy decree urged him to leave immediately and rush to the Tongzhou Health Center.

Meanwhile.

Hu Zongxian received the holy decree and was about to take over the news of the 300,000 troops of the Fifth Army Camp, and all the leading figures in the capital of the Ming Dynasty already knew about it.

Yanfu, Xufu...... It also includes Beiting Lane, Fan Mansion.

"Daddy! Your Majesty has finally officially issued an edict! Yan Shifan's face was full of joy. As long as Yunzhou City is recaptured, our family's annual income can be increased to this number! ”

He made a gesture, but Yan Song didn't look at it at all.

The old Shoufu slowly spoke: "Yan Shifan...... You remember, every penny I earn, the big head must be handed over to the emperor, you...... Don't be greedy. ”

"Cut!"

Yan Shifan listened to it, and his face was not happy.

But in front of his father, he didn't dare to say the truth.

Xufu.

"Father, Hu Zongxian has regained power, and Yan Dang has regained power in the army, how can you sit idly by?" Xu Fan was in a hurry.

Beside him, stood two young officials.

Seeing that the official robes of the two are not of high grade, they are characters who can speak out in the Ming Dynasty.

It's just because the official position of the two of them is the imperial history.

Yu Shi Zou Yinglong, Yu Shi Lin Run.

Lin Runlang said: "Teacher, we would rather die than let Hu Zongxian go!" ”

Zou Yinglong also stepped forward and stood side by side with Lin Run to show their concentricity.

"Confused!"

Xu Jie shouted angrily.

"Death, are you trying to trap Your Majesty in injustice?"

Lin Run and Zou Yinglong were stunned when they heard this, and after a little thought, they understood the truth.

Wen dies and fights to the death, this is a model of loyal ministers since ancient times.

However, once Wenchen died because of the advice, it was tantamount to announcing that the emperor was a faint king who did not listen to the advice.

Sacrificing the reputation of the monarch to earn a good name for himself?

Even if Lin Run and Zou Yinglong really had this intention, they didn't dare to admit it.

Both of them knelt down and shouted guilt in unison!

Xu Jie was relieved to see that the two students were still obedient.

"That's it, the teacher knows that you are kind."

"But you two don't have to do anything about it."

Lin Run and Zou Yinglong glanced at each other, still kneeling and refusing to get up.

They neither agreed nor refused, and both remained silent, which was clearly to ask Xu Jie to give an accurate word.

"Humph!"

"Are you also copper peas that can't be steamed, cooked, pounded, fried, or exploded?"

Xu Jie said this, and the two of them only bowed their heads and insisted on kneeling.

"Alas!"

Xu Jie felt a sense of powerlessness.

Although he is the leader of Qingliu and the leader of the Xu Party, his control over the officials under him is far inferior to Yan Song.

Yan Party members hate to be Yan Song's son or even a dog.

Yan Song said a word, let them go east, absolutely no one dares to go west.

"That's it."

"The old man guarantees that Hu Zongxian will never have a chance to take over the army."

"Lord Zou and Lord Lin, are the two adults satisfied now?"

Xu Jie also has a temper.

He was extremely dissatisfied with the performance of the two students today.

The two also knew that they were going to blackmail their teacher, and they lost their duty as students, so they both bowed their heads.

Boom!

Knock knock!

Lin Run and Zou Yinglong's heads hit the floor with a solid muffled sound.

Xu Jie didn't stop, and the two of them kept their foreheads until their foreheads were red and the floor was stained with blood.

"Father, the two senior brothers are wrong, you have a lot?"

At this time, Xu Fan knew that he should stand up.

With him opening his mouth to admonish, both sides have steps.

"Don't knock it all."

As soon as Xu Jie spoke, Lin Run and Zou Yinglong really stopped.

This kind of masochistic behavior is obviously not liked by the two either.

Xu Jie personally bent down to help the two of them up, and said with a wry smile: "You are also well-educated people, can you see the harm of the growth of the Yan Party, and the old man can't see it?" For the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, the old man will never allow Hu Zongxian to take charge of the army again. ”

"Teacher!"

Lin Run and Zou Yinglong had tears in their eyes, and they were both generous and excited.

It's just that Xu Fan couldn't help but suspect on the side, maybe they were in tears in pain?

……

…………

Outside the capital.

Hu Zongxian rode forward, followed only by a few domestic servants.

He politely rejected Yan Shifan's proposal to lead hundreds of officials to see him off, saying that the ministers who were guilty of the crime did not dare to bother the adults.

Yan Shifan has recently had a hot fight with the new Oiran of Yanbo Painting Boat, and it is better to have more than one thing.

As a result, Hu Zongxian, the governor of the Northern Expedition, was ordered to go out of Beijing, which was unimaginably cold and lonely.

Coupled with the cold winter season, the sky is full of snowflakes, and Hu Zongxian seems to be walking on a desperate road.

Until the ten-mile long pavilion outside the city, Hu Zongxian saw from a distance that there were actually people in the pavilion.

Seven or eight stoves were placed around the pavilion, melting the snow around it.

There is a brazier burning in the pavilion, and a copper hot pot is erected on the stone table.

The silver charcoal burns, causing the water in the pot to boil and warm white steam.

A pot of wine, boiling on a brazier.

"Master Hu, meet again."

Hu Zongxian smiled bitterly, turned over and dismounted.

He looked at the young man in the pavilion with complicated eyes for a long time before he spoke, "How should Bendu call you?" Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty? Da Chu Jin Gong? ”

Hu Zongxian's entourage all showed a look of surprise and vigilance when they heard this, but they were waved by him to relax.

"It's too troublesome, just call him by his name, just call me Fan Li."

Today's Fan Li has no easy appearance, showing his true face.

How about Daming?

What about the feet of the Son of Heaven in the capital?

He Fan Li dared to cook wine and shabu hot pot to see Hu Zongxian off.

Accompanying Fan Li, there were also Jade Shenzi and Jing Wuving.

The supervising director personally cooked wine, and the hospital was the first to pick coal and charcoal.

Both of them were cultivators of the Merge Dao Realm, but they volunteered to do the odd jobs of servants.

Hu Zongxian looked at a few people deeply, shook his head and said, "Only this governor can capture all of you." Go away at once, and Ben Du may act as if he didn't see anything. ”

When Fan Li heard this, he didn't feel angry at all, and even quite happy.

"So, is Brother Ruzhen going to do it?"

"If you don't do it, why don't you sit down and have a drink?"

Hu Zongxian saw that he didn't eat oil and salt, held back for a long time, and finally smiled helplessly.

He stepped into the pavilion, and the golden knife sat down opposite Fan Li.

"What's the point?" Hu Zongxian asked: "Today, I am trusted by the Son of Heaven to command the army again." Could it be that with your incorruptible tongue, you want to persuade me to abandon my official position and commit treason and go to Dachu with you...... Or Da Jin? What a joke! ”

To this day, Hu Zongxian doesn't even know where the so-called Great Jin Kingdom is.

"Brother Ruzhen misunderstood."

Fan Li poured a glass of hot wine for Hu Zongxian and filled a glass for himself.

He did it first, put down his glass and continued.

"Brother Ruzhen's future is dangerous, I am here to warn for the safety of my brother's life."

Hu Zongxian was stunned when he heard this!

A dangerous future?

"You think I'm going to lose?"

"Not bad! Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, and Guo Jia are all geniuses in the world, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance should not be underestimated. ”

"But you don't have to go this time!"

"The wolf soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are unparalleled in the world, and the governor is even more ...... No one is in the way. ”

"With the bravery of the wolf soldiers, this governor is far superior to those three people in terms of cultivation, and this governor has the confidence to recapture Yunzhou for the Ming Dynasty!"

Saying that, Hu Zongxian's aura skyrocketed!

He didn't want to kill Fan Li, but to prove his strength!

"Your Majesty." Jing Wushu whispered on the side: "Nine grades of the Dao Realm." ”

At this moment, Fan Li couldn't help but be moved.

"When you were imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, you actually broke through?"

unimaginable!

It's unimaginable!

Jinyi Wei Prison, the most feared place of death for the subjects of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Hu Zongxian had some preferential treatment during his detention in Imperial Prison, it was unbelievable that he made a breakthrough in one fell swoop.

It can only be counted that this person, regardless of talent and will, is far beyond ordinary people!

"That's right, this governor is already the Nine Grades of the Great Perfection of the Dao Realm."

Hu Zongxian restrained his aura, and his face rarely showed a hint of a smile.

"How?"

"Do you still think that the future of Bendu is in danger?"

Fan Li was silent.

It took a long time for him to speak slowly.

"Brother Ruzhen, it's okay if you don't break through. This breakthrough, they won't let you go......"

Hu Zongxian's eyelids jumped!

They?

What does Fan Li mean?

On the way to Tongzhou Health Center this time, in addition to Fan Li, is there anyone waiting for him?

"You make it clear!" Hu Zongxian said in a deep voice.

Fan Li looked at him and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Brother Ru Zhen is not deceiving himself, with your wisdom, you don't even understand this truth?"

"The stronger you are, the more soldiers you have, the more people want you to die."

Syllable!

Hu Zongxian used force in his hand and smashed the wine glass!

Da Ming, who doesn't want him to become stronger? Don't want him to take charge of the army?

Your Majesty?

No, there is the flying star Da Rui, and Emperor Jiajing hopes that Hu Zongxian will win a big battle and recapture Yunzhou at this time.

Strict party?

He is the first person in the Ming Army, and he has always been regarded as a strict party.

Now, it is Yan Shifan's best tool to collect money, how can Yan Dang look forward to his death?

"Xu Jie......"

Hu Zongxian spoke slowly, but shook his head firmly.

"Xu Dang...... No, clear stream...... They are all righteous men and gentlemen. Even if I am a little pedantic and don't know how to work, sooner or later I will understand that I am a strict elder and everything I do is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Fan Li eagerly, hoping that his ideas could be recognized by the other party.

Yes, yes.

Hu Zongxian suddenly realized that everything he had done for the Ming Dynasty had never been understood by the ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps, only Fan Li can understand himself.

Thousands of dollars are easy to get, but confidants are hard to find.

"Huh?"

Fan Li sneered.

His smile directly made Hu Zongxian's heart cool by half.

"Why should Brother Ruzhen deceive himself?"

Hu Zongxian's hands trembled, and his heart trembled.

"Don't want to admit it?"

Fan Li stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance.

"This road goes straight to Tongzhou, but I bet you can't go to the Tongzhou Health Center, and you will be intercepted and killed halfway."

"If I say it wrong, I am willing to be captured, and let you be crushed in front of the army and beheaded the sacrificial flag!"

Hu Zongxian stood up with a 'rub'.

He glared at Fan Li, but he didn't know how to refute it.

"Why should Jin Gong be overconfident?"

"I, the Ming monarch and ministers, are united! This governor is fighting for the country, and it is absolutely impossible for his colleagues in the DPRK and China to hinder and obstruct him! ”

His voice was very loud, but he was hoarse and empty, as if he lacked confidence.

Fan Li only asked: "If I am right, is Brother Ruzhen willing to be an official in Dajin?" Soon after the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, all military affairs were ...... I entrust it to you. ”

This was the first time that Fan Li regarded himself as the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty in front of Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian looked at him in disbelief!

Is this a showdown?

As a minister, even if he immediately made a move on Fan Li, he would do his duty as a courtier.

However, he already owes Fan Li a favor, a great favor!

"Bet? Or don't bet? Fan Li's voice gradually became cold, and the momentum of the whole person suddenly became majestic.

"You ......"

Hu Zongxian only felt that his throat was like swallowing sand, and he couldn't make a sound.

The Ming Party struggle, Hu Zongxian is deeply involved, how can he not know?

But national events are not enough to make the party fight to make concessions?

If he is assassinated, unless Emperor Jiajing personally drives the expedition, who else can lead the Northern Expedition of the army?

In order to profit from the party struggle, how could the Qingliu officials force the emperor to the point of the imperial conquest?

Hu Zongxian didn't believe it in the end.

The figure of Xu Jie, the figure of Zhang Juzheng, and many upright officials appeared in his heart.

These are upright men and gentlemen, moral models.

Hu Zongxian took a deep breath and slowly spoke: "Okay, Emperor Dajin, this game is ...... I, Hu Zongxian, gambled. ”

Now there is a more chapter every day, but the word count is 4000 words, don't make mistake.

In terms of the total amount, it is the same as the previous 2000-word double in a single chapter, and it is not lazy to reduce updates. If you don't like it, I'll restore the same single chapter of 2000 words.
