Mingshi

Chapter 1296
Hu Zongxian is very courageous, or, even now, he is still very confident in himself.So, he was just dressed in casual clothes, and with a dozen guards, he came secretly to the navy camp on Chongming Island.

Suzhou was not far from Chongming Island, and Hu Zongxian took advantage of the darkness to set off again. When he arrived at the gate of the navy in full moonlight and reported himself as his home, Luo Xin and Yu Dayou knew that Hu Zongxian was here, and they hurried to the pier meet.

Hu Zongxian and Luo Xin stood at the pier with their eyes facing each other, and Yu Dayou was already standing in the shadow behind Luo Xin.At this moment, it seemed that there were only Hu Zongxian and Luo Xin left in the world.The two people stared at each other, and the past scenes kept flashing in the minds of the two people. Not only did their hearts fluctuate, they were full of emotions, and they were speechless for a long time.

The moonlight fell from the sky on the bodies of the two people, one was already full of white hair and looked old, while the other was full of heroism, just like the morning sun.Hu Zongxian was not only a little absent-minded, he seemed to see himself when he was young.Taking a deep breath, he regained his demeanor as the governor, with a smile on his face and said:

"No, you came to the southeast and never went to see my brother, so my brother had to come to see you."

Luo Xin sighed, with a sad look on his face, he said, "Brother, why are you so old?"

Hu Zongxian shook his head and sighed: "Time is not forgiving, people who are almost sixty, how can they compare to a young man like you."

Luo Xin's lips moved, but he felt something was blocked in his throat and he couldn't speak.Yu Dayou knew that he couldn't keep silent, so when he saw the two fell silent again, he took the opportunity to salute and said:

"At the end, I will see the Lord of the Ministry."

"En!" Hu Zongxian nodded lightly.At this time, Luo Xin also reacted from the sadness and said: "Brother, let's talk inside."

Hu Zongxian nodded, followed Luo Xin to the place where Luo Xin lived, Yu Dayou also left, leaving only Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian in the room.The two sat silently on the chairs drinking tea, both of them were speechless. After a while, Hu Zongxian said:

"Let's talk open and honest!"

"I've always wanted to have an open and honest relationship with my brother." Luo Xin said softly.

The two fell silent again. Hu Zongxian came to meet Luo Xin on a moonlit night. He originally had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start.Luo Xin came to the southeast just to have a good talk with Hu Zongxian, but the situation changed and he didn't know how to speak at this time.

"Why do you want your people to also jointly sign the letter?" Hu Zongxian finally asked the question in his heart.

"Because you have gone too far!" Luo Xin said after a moment of silence: "If you don't give you a very heavy blow, not only you will be punished alone, but you will be punished with a group of people. old brother, and your family."

Luo Xin stared at Hu Zongxian and said: "Brother, you have no idea of ​​rebellion, let alone the strength to rebel, but you have to put on a posture that you can rebel at any time.

Do you think His Majesty is a fool?

Do you think the cabinet is a fool?
Will they fail to see your strong outside but capable inside? "

Luo Xin spoke very bluntly, and Hu Zongxian became angry.

"You say I'm strong on the outside but on the inside?"

Luo Xin sighed, and thought to himself, Lao Tzu has now unified the grasslands, owns Taiwan, Ryukyu, Wa, Java, Malacca and other places in the sea, and has a combined force of more than 60. I don't dare to say that I will be able to destroy Ming Dynasty, just like you , It took more than ten years to encircle and suppress Japanese pirates, and you still want to rebel, so you don't have a B number?
"Brother, in fact, you also know that the south is rich, but you really can't fight a war. You can't beat the court. If you fight forcibly, you can only hurt your old brother who was born and died with you, and your clansman. Don't you work so hard? Decades of suffering, just for this ending?"

"Ugh……"

Hu Zongxian sighed, what Luo Xin said was on his mind.I was a little dazed for a while.He didn't want to implicate his own robe, let alone implicate the family and become a sinner of the family.

More importantly, he wants to be a famous general who will be famous through the ages, not a sinner who will be infamous through the ages.

The ancients are famous!

Why not Hu Zongxian?

not to mention……

Will it be exterminated like that?

"Brother, what exactly do you want?" Luo Xin stared at Hu Zongxian with burning eyes.

"What do I want?"

Hu Zongxian fell into deep thought, and the room became silent.Outside the house, the guards led by Hu Zongxian and the servants led by Wan Quanquan stood opposite each other, and the atmosphere was very tense.

"Ma Fang's contribution is not less than yours, right?" Luo Xin said softly.

Hu Zongxian's expression changed.

"However, when His Majesty summoned Ma Fang back to the capital, Ma Fang happily returned to the capital. How is Ma Fang now? She still guards the border and is the official residence of the governor.

what about you? "

Luo Xin sighed and said: "Your Majesty sent people to secretly signal several times, why did you secretly signal, instead of directly calling you back to Beijing like Ma Fang did, don't you know?"

"Why?" Hu Zongxian asked blankly.

"Because you showed rebelliousness early on, showing that you wanted to stay in the southeast forever. Do you think any emperor in history would allow such a thing to happen?
Look at the history of people with such thoughts, did they end well in the end? "

Luo Xin sighed again: "Brother, I think you also know now that you have only two paths to go. The first is to rebel. But you also know in your heart that you don't have the opportunity and foundation to rebel. Second, Let go of the power in your hands, and I will do my best to let you retire with dignity."

Hu Zongxian was silent for a moment and said: "If...the two of us end up on the battlefield of hostility..."

"I won't show mercy." Luo Xin said resolutely: "The south has finally wiped out the Japanese pirates and settled down. I don't want any more turmoil. If there is turmoil, it will be wiped out with thunder."

"Hehe..." Hu Zongxian laughed sarcastically and said, "Could it be that the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan has nothing to do with your disarmament?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "But it's not a bad thing."

"Isn't it a bad thing? How do you say it?"

"The White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan are like two boils on a person. If you want to be cured, you have to let the boils come out. Now these two forces have come out. Since they jumped from the dark to the bright, it will be easy to handle .Don’t look at the fact that they are having a lot of fun now, and they seem to have a lot of momentum, but in fact, it is very simple for the court to destroy them. Brother, as long as you are willing to send troops, it will not be difficult to destroy them, right?”

A smug look appeared on Hu Zongxian's face, he really didn't take Bailianjiao and Zhang Daoyuan seriously.

"Now that Ming's external troubles have been eliminated, it's time to eradicate internal troubles. With the elimination of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, Ming should usher in an era of peace within 20 years. These 20 years are the time for Ming to develop its economy and clean up the bureaucracy. If it can be done well, 20 years later, Daming will usher in a real grand event."
