Chapter 185: Going alone
Chapter 185: Doing alone
The snow was still falling quietly on the lake, but the atmosphere in the cabin was completely different.
Shun asked bluntly, but Hu Zongxian couldn't resist it. He picked up the teacup and blocked the embarrassment on his face by drinking tea. By the time he put the teacup down, his expression had returned to normal.
"No matter how others think, I, Hu Ruzhen, have a clear conscience." Hu Zongxian said lightly: "Because I know what I am doing."
After a while of silence, he asked again: "Brother Meilin, why is Zhang Butang locked up and charged?"
"Fear the enemy and fight, sit and watch the Japanese chaos." Hu Zongxian said in a deep voice.
The silent expression couldn't help but look a little ugly, and he whispered: "Since that's the case, Zhang Butang will have to sacrifice his merits even more. Why did Brother Meilin ask me to tell me what to do, and if you don't move, you will die?"
As if he didn't feel his doubts, Hu Zongxian said calmly: "If he doesn't move, the crime will only end here. At most, he will be dismissal from office and dismissal from his post. But if he acts rashly at this critical moment, the crime will be serious, and even Ge Lao Xu can't save him."
"What crime?" asked silently.
"The crime of deceiving the king." Hu Ruzhen lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty's anger will be unstoppable."
The silence felt a little difficult to understand. He shook his head hard and asked with difficulty: "How can I not understand?"
"There are many things you don't know, and it's normal that you can't understand." Hu Zongxian whispered: "As long as you pass this sentence to Zhang Butang, he will naturally understand everything." Hu Zongxian's mouth was extremely tight. As long as he didn't want to say it, he could not ask anything in silence.
At this time, the hull paused slightly and leaned back to the broken bridge. The time for separation was up.
Chen An and Hu Zongxian's book boy brought the clothes and put them on the two adults. Chen Ji was about to walk out of the cabin, but Hu Zongxian behind him whispered: "You have been asking me, is it time for me to ask you?"
"It's impolite to come but not to go." Chen Si turned around and smiled, "I don't want to impolite Brother Meilin."
Hu Zongxian looked at his eyes and asked word by word: "Are you still going to stand on Governor Zhang's side?"
Chen Shun gently stroked the cloak of the cloak with two fingers, without any breath of fireworks. He only chuckled and said, "The emperor is the emperor's order and the emperor's mission, so he is standing on the side of His Majesty." He bowed to him and said, "I am grateful for my kind treatment from Brother Meilin. Please stay." Then, with the help of Tiezhu, he left.
Looking at the carriage that disappeared in the snowy night with a complicated expression, Hu Zongxian did not return to the cabin. He stood on the deck with the bulkhead, letting Xuehua wrap her whole body into white, but still thinking about her thoughts without moving.
Shutong behind him asked softly: "Sir, let's go back?"
After a long time, Hu Zongxian nodded slowly, and the snow on his body rustled down, revealing the original gray. The self-deprecating color on his face became more and more intense, and he sighed in a low voice: "I will never be washed white..."
When Hu Zongxian returned to the imperial envoy's office, Zhao Wenhua was listening to the music in the flower hall. He was waiting outside for a while until he heard the music that he had reported it and walked in.
Then I saw Mr. Zhao leaning comfortably on the soft couch, surrounded by five maids who looked like flowers. Two women beat his legs and legs, two women pinched his arms, and one woman knelt behind him, using her knees as pillows, let Zhao Wenhua lie on her legs and gently press his neck. The so-called gentle place, the so-called beauty pile is just like this.
Hu Zongxian was already accustomed to this style. He painted the house and nodded in a man in colorful costumes, and bowed to Zhao Wenhua, "Brother Meicun, I'm back to report." Zhao Wenhua's name is Yuanzhi Meicun, and he was nine years older than Hu Zongxian. Because the two of them were "Meicun" and the other one was "Meilin", they wrote very similarly, so they bowed and called each other brothers, and their relationship was even more common.
Zhao Wenhua touched the smooth thighs of the maid beside him, and then slowly sat up, greeted Hu Zongxian and said, "Brother, sit down and warm up." Then he asked impatiently, "How is that guy agree?" He wanted to push Zhang Jing into the eighteenth level of hell, not let go of all the power that can be used. Even the small character like Silence who is a light-hearted person has to use... but he holds his own identity and disdains to date him, so he sent Hu Zongxian to make peace on his behalf.
Little did he know that Hu Ruzhen was disobedient and not only did not win over the silence, but also asked him to warn Zhang Jing that if Zhao Wenhua knew the truth, he would definitely not be polite to him again. But Hu Zongxian was extremely cautious and set the date on a cruise ship in the lake. Even if Zhao Wenhua sent someone to follow him, he would be helpless, so he said calmly: "At least his attitude is good and he agreed very happily, but people's hearts are separated from their stomachs. Will Zhang Jing be impeached us? No one dares to promise until the moment he wrote the letter." He said as if he was confident, but in fact there was no guarantee, and he would be able to get rid of the relationship no matter what.
Zhao Wenhua didn't expect him to be so far away. He said a little depressedly: "Don't look at his terrible official position, Mao has no power, but he secretly wrote the power to report it. The memorial was passed by the Jinyiwei North Town Fu Office, and without passing through my Tongzheng Office, otherwise I would have to do this trip."
"I should do what I should do to share my worries for my brother." Hu Zongxian smiled humbly.
While speaking, the actor had just taken off his costume, washed off the foundation on his face, and put on an ordinary scholar's outfit. However, he was a handsome scholar, but his nose was a bit hooked and his lips were too thin, so he didn't look so loyal.
He came up with a tray, placed the tea and snacks on the table, and sat on the edge of the couch, listening quietly to the two of them.
Zhao and Hu did not avoid him, because he was not a slave in the mansion, but Zhao Wenhua's aide. His surname was Luo, his name was Long Wen Zhang, and he also came to visit him when the minister Zhao was most embarrassed, so he was treated very favorably.
After the two talked for a while, the topic returned to whether Zhang Jing would fall. Zhao Wenhua said worriedly: "I received a report from the old man this afternoon, saying that Xu Jie had stabilized His Majesty and agreed not to appoint a new governor to replace him for the time being... Does this mean that His Majesty has not given up on Zhang Jing yet?"
Hu Zongxian shook his head and said, "No matter what, the governor Zhang Jing has done his best."
"How can I see it?" Zhao Wenhua's eyes lit up.
"Because his policy of destroying the Japanese is inconsistent with the court." Hu Zongxian said softly: "Your Majesty and the cabinet hope to 'slow suppression', but he advocates 'slow suppression', which is inconsistent with the major policies of the court in terms of strategy. This is the fundamental reason for Your Majesty's dissatisfaction." As he said, he said confidently: "Even if he passes through this level, he will still anger Your Majesty in the near future, so Your Majesty will definitely change people." His words also implied, that is, the emperor's stubborn and self-righteous character, and those who follow it will prosper and rebellious will not tolerate Zhang Jing's willful behavior.
Zhao Wenhua understood this meaning and smiled and said, "It's wonderful, Ruzhen, you are really a talent!"
Although Luo Longwen didn't understand that meaning, he was accustomed to observing his words and expressions. Seeing that Zhao Wenhua was relieved, he knew that Hu Zongxian had solved his big heart problems for him, so he praised him: "I think the Southeast genius belongs to the Ming Duke and the Hu Duke second! If the court wants to pacify the Southeast, it has to rely on the two masters."
Zhao Wenhua laughed proudly and said, "Yes, I will defeat Zhang Jing at that time, I will be the governor. Ruzhen, you replace Li Tianchong. We brothers work together to cut off the gold. We must do what our predecessors cannot do!"
Hu Zongxian whispered: "Then I'm just waiting to rely on my brother to become successful." Then he laughed.
They were happy, but the other side of the Governor General was like snow and ice. After returning silently, they asked to see Zhang Butang and told Hu Zongxian's words in the signing room.
After hearing what Chen Si said, Zhang Jing sat there motionlessly, like a clay sculpture. In fact, he received a letter from Mr. Xu this morning, and he already knew about the Jinyiwei going south, and Mr. Xu also warned him not to act rashly. At that time, Governor Zhang didn't care much. He believed that as long as one wins a battle, he could cover up all his ugly faces and cover this page. But now Hu Zongxian reminded himself again, which forced Governor Zhang to calm down and weigh the pros and cons.
Fortunately, Shen Mo was extremely patient, so he closed his eyes and waited for him. It was not until the drum sounded outside that Zhang Jing came to his senses, his eyes were empty and silent: "Half a year of planning and tolerance finally lured the enemy out. The wolf clay soldiers have been in place, and all the troops have arrived. I just waited for the order of me to launch a general attack." As he said that, his eyes gradually became firm and he said, "Now it is an arrow on the string, and I have to fire it!"
Chen Si said softly: "What if it is true as Hu Xunzhang said?"
Zhang Jing shook his head slowly and said, "Of course small victory is not possible, but if I win a decisive victory, even if those people want to do it, they have to ask the people of the world first!"
Seeing that he had made up his mind, he stood up and bowed, "Students are waiting for the good news for the adults!"
Zhang Jing laughed and said, "I want to see how those arrogant Japanese pirates were wiped out?"
"I can't find it." Chen Jing said happily.
"Wait patiently, I will call you with you in the next few days." Zhang Jing smiled confidently: "I will never disappoint you."
