Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 306 The Wise Hu Rang

The hall of the Chen family was very quiet at the moment, as if you could hear a needle drop.

Everyone was contemplating, and the other three Patriarchs also fell into contemplation after they came out of the initial shock.

Everyone is measuring one thing.

That is, can the assassination of Chen Yunfu be done, or if it is done, what price will everyone have to pay?
Just like what Chen Xi said, the current situation is to stretch out one's head and shrink one's head.

If there is a dead end anyway, it seems good to pull a back?

And didn't Chen Xi also say before that most of the Guangzhou Guards are in the hands of the Four Great Masters, soldiers, the Four Great Masters can move.

If you really fight, you may not necessarily lose.

I don't know what kind of feed these few grew up to have such an idea, but the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, the rabbit bites people in a hurry, not to mention the several clan heads who have been domineering in this land of Guangdong since they were young.

No matter how likely it is to succeed, doing it once is better than waiting to die.

"It's better, that's it"

Li Shuhong was about to say something to echo, when there were footsteps outside the hall, everyone looked back, and it turned out that it was Hu Rang, the chief minister, who came in.

Now everyone got up.

"What are you here for?"

When Chen Xi saw Hu Rang, he didn't have a good face at all, and immediately snorted coldly: "Don't be an old man who doesn't know anything, you went to see Chen Yunfu alone in the afternoon after the welcome ceremony in the morning, I'm afraid, You've already sold us out."

Hu Rang sat down next to Chen Xi, without hiding anything, and said very calmly: "That's right, I have already told you all the details about the four of you, including what you have done over the years."

Everyone was startled for a moment, and then someone shouted angrily and clapped the table, pointing at Hu Rang and yelling.

"My surname is Hu, we are in the same boat, if you capsize now, you can live!"

"It's nothing more than the fact that I accepted bribes and broke the law for you guys." Hu Rang's face was still calm: "If you tell these things, of course I will be killed, so I have confessed myself , don’t bother you to report again.”

What does this mean?
Hearing what Hu Rang said, even Chen Xi became confused.

What do you mean, Hu Rang is planning to stick together and die together.

Taking advantage of the silence, Hu Rang glanced around, and finally put his gaze on Chen Xi's face, and said: "Mr. Chen, it is precisely because I have told you all the details, so the young master knows In the end, he was also a little hesitant, and the young master was not willing to do this so-called deadly thing.

I came here just to tell you that the young master is also willing to take a step back. "

There was a hint of consternation on Chen Xi's face?
"What are you talking about, Chen Yunfu is willing to retire?"

"Yes."

"What kind of refund." Chen Xi sneered: "It's impossible, let's stop the merger of the two volumes and the reform of the tax law."

Hu Rang raised his hand: "Of course it's impossible, don't even think about it."

"In the final analysis, we still need to separate." Lin Wenhan jumped up: "Separate, don't even think about it, at worst, we will fight him to the bottom. We will fight with the court."

"Yes, I fought with the imperial court."

Chen Xi didn't say a word, but looked at Hu Rang: "Chen Yunfu, as a young teacher and the chief assistant of the cabinet, can't be aimless. Since you said that he wants to take a step back, I would like to hear how he plans to do so."

"This official doesn't know." Hu Rang shook his head: "For some things, the young master can only tell you that he won't communicate with me, so, this official is considered to be a young teacher. Megaphone, be the middleman between you.

Master Shao will host a banquet in Xingyuan tomorrow for the four clan elders. Let's talk about what's going on. "

Chen Li was very worried at the side: "Father, be careful, it's a scam."

"That's right, don't call it a Hongmen Banquet."

"Chen Yunfu has no good intentions."

Everyone was persuading, but Chen Xi didn't think so.

If according to what Hu Rang said, Chen Yunfu already knew all the details of the Four Great Families at this moment, then he could send someone to the Chen family's ancestral house right now, and kill everyone present here one by one, so as to ensure that there were no mistakes or omissions.

But if they are still willing to talk about it now, it is absolutely impossible for them to set up a grand feast and kill the four of them, who together are almost [-] years old.

This reason is very simple, so the patriarchs of the four major families understand.

The only hesitation lies in how to talk about it after going there.

Since it is a talk, talk must be conditional.

Now the conditions on Chen Yunfu's side are still unclear, but the four of them must first clarify their own conditions and bottom line.

As Hu Rang mentioned before, the merger of the two volumes and the reform of the tax law cannot be changed.

In other words, separation is imperative.

If this is a precondition for negotiation, then the Four Great Masters should reach out and ask Chen Yunfu what he wants. If Chen Yunfu makes more excessive demands, what is the bottom line of the Four Great Masters?
"Let the old man think about it."

"I'm not in a hurry." Hu Rang took the time to drink the water, feeling very relaxed.

He does relax now.

From the moment Chen Yunfu said in the early morning that he would send hundreds of thousands of troops to Guangdong to suppress the bandits, Hu Rang knew that this matter was likely to get out of control.

Once out of control, it is short-handed.

Although the Four Great Masters are deeply entrenched, but you want to say that they are against the imperial court?
Hu made himself not believe it.

The four of you tied together are not enough to crush.

Then Hu Rang is also a dead end.

So Hu Rang went directly to Chen Yunfu and explained all the situation of the four families.

It's a surrender.

Chen Yunfu asked Hu Rang at that time: "Since you know so clearly, how much benefit have you received from the Four Great Masters?"

At that time, Hu Rang also told the whole story about what he had done.

In exchange for a sentence from Chen Yunfu.

"Fate, this assistant will be saved for you."

Is this sentence enough?
enough!

Hu Rang is undoubtedly wise. He clearly knows that the first person to escape from the fire will definitely survive before the fire ignites.

In the same way, the first person who chooses to defect is worthy of survival.

As for losing power or something?

Life is gone, will power still exist?

Hu Rang is very smart and knows how to choose, because he is not from Canton, he is from Huguang.

Being able to govern a province, Hu Rang's family is also a family of officials and eunuchs who inherit poetry and rites.

His family has many relatives, if he died of corruption, it would implicate the whole family.

And if they can survive, even if they become ordinary people and return to their hometown to farm, it will have little impact on the family.

It's nothing more than a senior official missing.

At this moment, Hu Rang only hoped that Chen Xi and the other four would not be so stupid, and would not expand the fire that could be controlled.

"Let's report back to the young master. The old man and the others will be called to the banquet tomorrow."

Visible to the naked eye, Hu Rang let out a long breath.
