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

"My lord, the chief soldier of Hangzhou sent someone to give gifts to your lordship."

Luo Xin was overjoyed, so he stood up, opened the door, and saw a person standing outside, and when he saw Luo Xin, he hurriedly said:

"The last general will be the deputy general of Hangzhou General Zhang, Zhang Xiaowu, to meet your lord."

"Get up!"

Zhang Xiaowu stood up and followed Luo Xin into the room, and when he saw Yu Dayou, he hurriedly saluted, Yu Dayou just waved his hand 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 seemed to be unconscious, still deducing there.

Suzhou.

The Metropolitan Governor's Palace.

Back garden.

Hu Zongxian stood under a tree, looking up slightly at the sky and white clouds, the look in his eyes was like a hollow. And at this moment, there was an argument in the corridor in the distance.

Hu Zongxian's empty eyes gradually regained their brilliance, took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the corridor, and saw a tall figure walking briskly towards him, and one of Hu Zongxian's staff members was following the tall man to persuade something.

The tall man who came in front of him, wearing a fourth-grade official uniform, his eyes were red, the corners of his mouth were blistered, and he looked haggard, and strode up to Hu Zongxian and said:

"Lord Ministry, what a leisurely feeling!"

Hu Zongxian looked at that person and said lightly: "Trespassing into the official's backyard, Wang Bengu, you are too presumptuous, right?" ”

Wang Bengu stared at Hu Zongxian on the opposite side with dead eyes and said: "Lord Ministry, you can punish your official for trespassing, but please send troops immediately, otherwise Quzhou will be lost." ”

Hu Zongxian's expression was still faint and said: "The matter of your trespassing into the official's backyard can not be investigated, but the soldiers cannot be sent." ”

"Why?" Wang Bengu's eyes shot with anger.

Hu Zongxian frowned slightly and said, "Wang Bengu, you are only the governor, and the official has no obligation to explain to you." ”

Wang Bengu's face turned red all of a sudden, when he came to the southeast to serve as the governor, he also had a desire to realize his ideals in the southeast. And he felt that he would definitely 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 attached importance to Hu Zongxian, but did not pay too much attention to it.

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

Who is that person?

Luo Xin!

How old is Luo Xincai?

When he first went to the southeast, he was just a man in his early twenties, and he suppressed Hu Zongxian without any temper, is he Wang Bengu not as good as Luo Xin's yellow-haired boy?

But......

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

He didn't expect that after arriving in the southeast, although he was the governor of the fourth grade, he was excluded from the circle of power, and none of the proud soldiers in the entire southeast could be mobilized by him, even if he just wanted to do a little thing, he was always resistant, like an insect trapped in a spider's web.

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

He is stubborn, he is pedantic, but he also has a heart of allegiance to the Ming Dynasty, so he is very angry at Hu Zongxian's actions. Staring at Hu Zongxian, he shouted:

"The people were brutally killed by the rebels, the soldiers on the front line are fighting desperately, but the ministers do not send troops, are you trying to raise your own respect?"

Hu Zongxian's eyes suddenly burst into fine light, and he said word by word:

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

Wang Bengu's expression was stunned, and then he said with a stubborn face:

"You don't raise your own respect, but you send troops?"

"Don't come 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, and bent down deeply towards Hu Zongxian and said:

"Lord Ministry, for the sake of the suffering of the people of Li, I also ask Lord Mintang to send troops."

Seeing that Hu Zongxian still had a faint expression, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and said:

"Lord Ministry, if you let the south be chaotic, will you be able to make a difference to the cabinet and to Your Majesty?"

Only then did Hu Zongxian raise his eyelids, glanced at Wang Bengu and said:

"Huh...... This official was sent to the southeast by His Majesty in order to exterminate the Japanese invaders. Now that the Japanese have been exterminated, didn't you, Wang Bengu, hint that the official should hand over the military power?

And he once impeached me, oh...... Not once, you were impeaching me all the time. Now that you are satisfied, the imperial court has sent Qin to the southeast. As soon as the Qin mission arrived, I handed over the military power and then returned to my hometown. ”

"The ...... of the Ministry of Heaven"

"I'm tired!" Hu Zongxian said lightly: "I, Hu Zongxian, am worthy of the sky and the earth." The top is worthy of His Majesty, and the bottom is worthy of the people. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his head and stroked his half-white hair and said:

"When the official first arrived in the southeast, he still had black hair, but now he has turned gray. Stamina and energy are gone. Leave this responsibility to others. ”

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

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

The 450,000 troops in the southeast did not listen to others, but listened to Hu Zongxian. When he came to the southeast with His Majesty's secret decree, he secretly spread rumors that the imperial court was preparing to summon Hu Zongxian back to Beijing and ask Hu Zongxian to hand over his military power. ，

Then I received the news that those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals were quite angry with the decision of the imperial court, and they all reprimanded the imperial court for unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and there were even rumors that Hu Zongxian was instigated.

Over the years, he has also tried every possible way to control the southeastern army, but after a few years, not a single soldier has been controlled.

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 cause a rebellion, so even if he is not killed in the rebellion, he will be punished by the imperial court.

"Alas......"

At this time, Hu Zongxian sighed again and said: "The Qincha has already arrived in the southeast, and I, the governor of the southeast, have also done it, and I should not take care of the government according to the rules." ”

Wang Bengu's face was bitter and said: "Lord Ministry, Qin sent me to the southeast to inspect, 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 a Qincha and has come to the southeast, and encounters such a thing, we must listen to the words of the Qincha." ”
