Chapter 1289 Strong Hu Zongxian

Luo Zhi's expression froze, and he looked away.And at this moment, Wan Daquan's voice sounded outside the door again:

"My lord, the Hangzhou General Soldier sent someone to give you a gift."

Luo Xin's eyes were happy, he stood up, opened the door, and saw a person standing outside, seeing Luo Xin, he hurriedly said:
"The last general is Zhang Xiaowu, the deputy general of Zongbing Zhang in Hangzhou, and I greet you, Your Excellency."

"Get up!"

Zhang Xiaowu stood up and followed Luo Xin into the room. When he saw Yu Dayou, he hurriedly saluted him. Yu Dayou just waved his hands and continued to deduce in his heart.

That Zhang Xiaowu drank a cup of tea in the room, talked for a while, handed in the gift list, and left.

Yu Dayou didn't seem to notice it, and continued to deduce there.

Suzhou.

Governor's Office.

Backyard.

Hu Zongxian stood under a tree, slightly raised his head and looked at the long white clouds in the sky, the look in his eyes was like emptiness.And at this moment, the sound of a dispute came from the corridor in the distance.

Hu Zongxian's empty eyes gradually recovered, took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the corridor, and saw a tall figure walking towards him quickly, and one of Hu Zongxian's staff members was following that The tall man is persuading something.

The tall man walking towards him, wearing a fourth-rank official uniform, with red eyes, blisters on the corners of his mouth, and a haggard look, strode up to Hu Zongxian and said:
"My lord, you are really leisurely!"

Hu Zongxian looked at that person, and said indifferently: "Break into my backyard, Wang Bengu, are you too presumptuous?"

Wang Bengu stared fixedly at Hu Zongxian who was facing him and said, "My lord, you can punish me for trespassing, but please send troops immediately, otherwise Quzhou will fall."

Hu Zongxian still said calmly: "I don't have to pursue the matter of you trespassing on my backyard privately, but I can't send soldiers either."

"Why?" Anger shot out in Wang Bengu's eyes.

Hu Zongxian frowned slightly and said, "Wang Bengu, you are just the governor, and I have no obligation to explain to you."

Wang Bengu's face turned red all of a sudden. When he came to the southeast as the governor, he also had a voluntary desire to realize his ideal in the southeast.And he felt that he would be able to dominate the southeast.

As for Hu Zongxian in the southeast, when he left the capital, many people reminded him to pay attention to Hu Zongxian.Even Gao Gong personally summoned him and told him.

However, he also paid attention to Hu Zongxian, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Because before him, there used to be a person who went to the southeast alone, but in the southeast he scolded Fang Qiu and made great contributions. Hu Zongxian was suppressed by the limelight, and he didn't see what Hu Zongxian could do to that person.

who's that person?
Luo Xin!

How old is Luo Xin?
When he first went to the southeast, he was just in his early 20s, and he suppressed Hu Zongxian without any temper. Could it be that he, Wang Bengu, is not as good as that yellow-haired boy Luo Xin?

but……

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

He didn't expect that after arriving in the southeast, even though he was a fourth-rank governor, he would be excluded from the power circle. None of the arrogant soldiers in the southeast could be mobilized by him. Resistance is like an insect trapped in a spider's web.

Now Guangdong and Guangxi are in chaos. At this time, Hu Zongxian has not yet sent troops, and Wang Bengu is in a hurry.

He is stubborn and pedantic, but he also has a heart of loyalty to Daming, so he is very angry at Hu Zongxian's actions.He stared at Hu Zongxian and shouted:
"The people were massacred by the rebels, the soldiers on the front line were working desperately, but the minister did not send troops. Are you trying to support the bandits?"

Hu Zongxian's eyes burst out suddenly, and he said word by word:

"Wang Bengu, you have to be responsible for what you say."

Wang Bengu's expression froze, and then he said stubbornly:
"You don't raise the bandits' self-respect, but you send troops instead?"

"Not out!"

"why?"

"There is no obligation to explain to you."

"You..." Wang Bengu was almost choked up.

Wang Bengu took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, bowed deeply towards Hu Zongxian and said:

"My lord, for the sake of the suffering of the common people, please send my troops."

Seeing that Hu Zongxian still had a calm expression on his face, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and said:
"My lord, if you let the south be chaotic, will you be able to deliver to the cabinet and His Majesty?"

Hu Zongxian then raised his eyelids to look at Wang Bengu and said:

"Hehe... I was sent to the southeast by His Majesty to destroy the Japanese pirates. Now that the Japanese pirates have been wiped out, haven't you, Wang Bengu, hinted that I should hand over the military power?

And impeached me once, oh... not ever, you impeached me all the time.Now that you are satisfied, the imperial court has sent imperial envoys to the southeast.As soon as the imperial envoy arrives, I will hand over the power to the general, and then retire and return home. "

"My lord..."

"I'm already tired!" Hu Zongxian said indifferently: "I, Hu Zongxian, said that I am worthy of the sky and the earth. I am worthy of your majesty, and I am worthy of the people."

Having said that, he raised his head and stroked his half white hair and said:
"When I first arrived in the southeast, I still had black hair, but now it's gray. My physical strength and energy are gone. Just leave this important task to others."

Wang Bengu really wanted to say, you hand over the military power to me.

However, he also knew that even if Hu Zongxian gave him the general power, he would not be able to command those arrogant soldiers.In the past few years in the southeast, he has a deep understanding.

The 45 troops in the southeast did not listen to others, but Hu Zongxian.When he came to the southeast with His Majesty's secret decree, he secretly spread rumors that the imperial court was going to call Hu Zongxian back to Beijing and let Hu Zongxian surrender his military power. ,
Then I received the news that those arrogant soldiers were very angry at the court's decision, and they all reprimanded the court for killing the donkey, and there were even rumors of inciting Hu Zongxian to rebel.

Over the years, he has also tried everything possible to control the southeast army, but after a few years, he has not controlled a single soldier.

In this way, he knew that even if Hu Zongxian returned to Beijing, he would not be able to command these soldiers if they were handed over to him.Maybe it will lead to military chaos, so even if he is not killed in the military chaos, he will still be punished by the court.

"Ugh……"

At this time, Hu Zongxian sighed again: "The imperial envoy has already arrived in the southeast, and I, the governor of the southeast, have also done my best. As usual, I shouldn't be in charge of politics."

Wang Bengu's expression was bitter and he said: "Lord Ministry, the imperial envoys are here to inspect the southeast, not to ask you to hand over your military power!"

Hu Zongxian pondered for a moment and said: "Whether it is or not, as long as he is an imperial envoy and has come to the southeast, and encounters such a thing, we must obey the imperial envoy's words."
