Hu Zongxian is very bold, or even now, he is still very confident in himself. Therefore, he was just dressed in civilian clothes, with more than a dozen guards, and secretly came to the camp of the sailor on Chongming Island.

Suzhou is not far from Chongming Island, Hu Zongxian took advantage of the darkness to leave, when he arrived at the gate of the sailor in the moonlight, and reported his home, Luo Xin and Yu Dayou knew that Hu Zongxian was coming, and the two hurriedly came to the dock to greet them.

Hu Zongxian and Luo Xin stood on the dock, looking at each other, and Yu Dayou was already standing in the shadows behind Luo Xin. At this moment, it seems that between heaven and earth, there are only two people, Hu Zongxian and Luo Xin. The two people stared at each other, and the scenes of the past kept flashing in the minds of the two people, and their hearts not only fluctuated, but they were full of emotion and speechless for a long time.

The moonlight sprinkled from the sky on the bodies of two people, one was already full of white hair, showing old age, and the other was heroic, like the morning sun. Hu Zongxian was not only a little distracted, as if he saw himself when he was young. He took a deep breath, regained the demeanor of the Grand Governor, and said with a smile on his face:

"No, you came to the southeast and didn't go to see my brother, so my brother had to come to see you."

Luo Xin sighed, and said with a sad look on his face: "Brother, why are you old like this?" ”

Hu Zongxian shook his head and sighed: "The years are unforgiving, you are almost sixty years old, how can you compare to a young man like you." ”

Luo Xin's lips moved, but he felt that his throat and eyes were blocked, and he couldn't speak. Yu Dayou knew that he couldn't always stop talking, and when he saw that the two of them were silent again, he took the opportunity to step forward and salute:

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

"Hmm!" Hu Zongxian nodded lightly. At this time, Luo Xin also reacted from sadness and said, "Brother, we are talking inside." ”

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

"Let's talk openly and honestly!"

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

The two of them were silent again, Hu Zongxian came to meet Luo Xin on a moonlit night, and originally had a stomach full of things to say, but he didn't know where to start at this time. Luo Xin came to the southeast just to have a good talk with Hu Zongxian, but the situation has changed, and he doesn't know how to speak at this time.

"Why do you want your people to sign a book together?" Hu Zongxian finally asked the question in his heart.

"Because you've gone too far!" Luo Xin was silent for a moment and said: "If you don't give you a very heavy head drink, not only will you be punished, but you will be punished with a group of people, those old brothers who followed you from birth to death, and your family." ”

Luo Xin stared at Hu Zongxian and said: "Brother, you don't have the 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 Your Majesty is a fool?

Do you think the Cabinet is a fool?

They won't be able to see that you're strong on the outside? ”

Luo Xin said very politely, and Hu Zongxian was furious.

"You say I'm strong outside?"

Luo Xin sighed, and secretly said in his heart, Lao Tzu has now unified the grassland, and has Taiwan, Ryukyu, Wa, Java, Malacca and other places on the sea, with a comprehensive army of more than 600,000, and he did not dare to say that he would be able to destroy the Ming Dynasty.

"Brother, in fact, you yourself know that the south is rich, but it is really not good to fight. can't beat the court. If you forcibly fight, you can only affect your old brothers who were born and died, and your clansmen. Could it be that you have worked hard for decades for this ending? ”

"Alas......"

Hu Zongxian sighed, Luo Xin said what was on his mind. I was at a loss for a moment. He didn't want to affect his robe, let alone his family, and become a sinner in 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.

Good name for the ancients!

What about Hu Zongxian?

Not to mention......

Will that be exterminated?

"Dude, what 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 family members led by Wan Daquan stood opposite each other, and the atmosphere was very tense.

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

Hu Zongxian's expression moved.

However, when His Majesty summoned Ma Fang back to Beijing, Ma Fang returned to the capital happily. How is Ma Fang today? still guards the border passes, and the official residence is the governor.

And you? ”

Luo Xin sighed and said: "Your Majesty has sent people to secretly signal several times, why did you secretly signal, instead of directly summoning you back to Beijing like Tsushima Fang, didn't you count it in your own heart?" ”

"Why?" Hu Zongxian asked blankly.

"Because you showed your unruliness early on, and showed your desire to Yongzhen to the southeast. Do you think any emperor in history would have allowed such a thing to happen?

Do you look at the people who have such thoughts in history, and in the end, do they end well? ”

Luo Xin sighed again and said, "Brother, I think you also know now that you only have two ways to go. First, rebellion. But you also know in your heart that you do not have the time and the foundation to rebel. Second, lay down the power in my hands, and I will do my best to make you retire with dignity. ”

Hu Zongxian was silent for a moment and said, "What if...... The two of us ended up on the battlefield of hostilities......"

"I'm not going to show mercy." Luo Xin said in a resolute tone: "The south has finally exterminated the Japanese and settled down, and I don't want any more turmoil." If there is turmoil, it will be destroyed by thunder. ”

"Hehe......" Hu Zongxian laughed sarcastically twice: "Now 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. ”

"Not a bad thing? How so? ”

"The White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan are like two fire boils on a person's body, if you want to be cured, you can only let the fire boils come out. Now that these two forces have been dispatched, since they have jumped from the shadows to the light, it will be easy to do. Don't look at the joy they are making now, and it seems to be very loud, but in fact, it is very simple for the court to destroy them. Brother, as long as you are willing to send troops, it won't be difficult to destroy them, right? ”

Hu Zongxian's face showed a hint of pride, he really didn't take the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan in his eyes.

"Now that the external troubles of the Ming Dynasty have been eliminated, it is time to eliminate the internal troubles. Destroy the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, and the Ming Dynasty should usher in an era of peace within twenty years. The past 20 years have been the time for the Ming Dynasty to develop the economy and purge the rule of officialdom. If it can really be done well, twenty years later, Daming will usher in a real event. ”
