Chapter 728: Success or Failure (Part 2)

Just as Shen and Hu Zongxian sighed about the wine, and recalled the past, a team of soldiers and horses in sharp armor were flying on the road leading to Hangzhou.

From a distance, the mountains, rivers, fields and trees were reflected in the sunlight. The horse team galloped over, rolling up smoke and dust, as if it was a glimpse of light, and disappeared from the front of them.

After a night of galloping, the officers and soldiers were actually extremely distressed, but they neither rested nor changed horses. The people gritted their teeth and insisted, and the horses were foaming in their mouths. The sweat washed the fur on the horses, and the fur on their bodies was covered with satin-like oil spoons. The officers and soldiers knew that these horses were useless and would be disabled for life as soon as they stopped. But now they could not care about so many. They could only keep whips and urged them to run quickly, run faster, and run faster, and the horses were running straight for their tails!

The two senior officials of the civil and military were sprinting in the center of the team. The military general with a lion on his chest was very old, with his gray beard dancing on his chest, riding on the horse as if walking on the flat ground, with no sign of fatigue; but the young civil servant was already tired and shaking his teeth and just gritting his teeth to support him. "Why don't we take a break?" the veteran general said loudly. The civil servant shook his head and smiled reluctantly, "The tiger may return to the nest at any time, so we have to hurry up. "Yes." The veteran general nodded and ordered his left and right, "Protect Master Zhongcheng." Then four cavalrymen protected the civil servant tightly in the middle and continued to run south.

A clutch approached Chongming Island and was stopped by a patrolling ship. The visitor revealed his identity. It turned out to be a personal soldier from the Governor's Office and reported to the general for urgent matters.

The captain of the Yu family army did not dare to neglect and said in a respectful manner: "Please move onto our ship, we will take you to see the commander." The man hesitated for a moment, but did not want to be troublesome, so he nodded and said: "That's what I have to do. As he said that, he jumped onto the Yu family army's ship.

"Go back to the camp." The captain of the scout said the order, and the ship turned around and sailed towards the water camp. He said with concern: "It's very windy outside, so please ask me to enter the warehouse. There are charcoal basins, soy sauce, and grilled fish and meat." "Oh..." The personal soldier wanted to catch up with the commander halfway, so he didn't rest along the way, and only used f food to fill his hunger. Now, when he heard him say it, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said, "Then I'll disturb you."

"Please." The scout captain made way, and the personal soldier lifted the curtain and got into the cabin. Before he could see clearly what was inside, he felt a sudden pain behind his head, and he fell to the ground and lost consciousness. The person who committed the murder was a soldier hiding in the cabin. He attacked Hu Zongxian's personal soldier with the wooden stick in his hand.

At this time, the scout captain walked in and began to check it. Finally, he found a small bamboo tube at the mezzanine of his clothes, took it out and saw that it was a report of abnormal movement in Hangzhou. He couldn't help but think that he was really careful and there were no big mistakes. So many hidden posts along the way had made him penetrate. Thinking of this, he ordered in a deep voice: "Enhance the vigilance, and even a fly cannot be placed on the island. "【Work + _ __ 1 r _

In the villa by the sea, Hu Zongxian held a wine bowl and said, "Die Yuanzhi, everything is empty, but if you take down the soil in the moon, what's the use of leaving this monument?"

Chen also held the wine bowl, took a sip, and said, "There is a great talent at the same time as Yang Sheng'an, who is this Suzhou native." Hu Zongxian said, "Tang Bohu?" "No." Chen nodded and said, "There was a poem in the later years of Tang Jieyuan's life. "I have read it by my brother?"

"Yeah." Hu Zongxian chanted softly with the sea tide: "Don't blame the young man for being a young man, a hundred feet of silk is easy to get involved. When is spring not melancholy, where is love not pitiful? Du Qu's pear blossom cup, and the fragrant grass in Baling dreams are smoke. The future is golden tears, and the three lives of white bones.

The old man thought that he would not regret it. He held a robe in front of the gate of the bowl courtyard..." Tang Bohu's reputation was very famous in the southeast. Hu Zongxian was also familiar with this "Sad Poem" and was just busy with official duties and had not started to recite it for many years. At this time, he could not stop his grief, especially the last four sentences, which almost made him cry.

Hu hurriedly used a drinking action to cover up his disobedience. Hu Zongxian smiled and said, "Tang Bohu's poem is really full of sadness." "The future is full of golden tears, and the case is three lives of white bones." Chen said in a deep voice: "Brother, don't you understand?"

"Then what's the point of enduring humiliation and hard work for so many years?" Hu Zongxian murmured: "If the ending is destined, it's better to live a dull life."

"I'm obsessed with it! Brother Lin!" Chen shouted in a low voice: "Without your efforts, the Japanese riots in the southeast will never be quelled. How many people will suffer from the suffering of war? It is your struggle that has preserved countless families and brought peace to the southeast. How can it be said that it is meaningless?"

"How good is it to a certain family?" Hu Zongxian fell into the knot of his thinking, and as he spoke, he went back again. "You have become a Buddha in the thousands of families in the southeast. It has immeasurable merit." Chen said, "But if you want to be perfect, you still have to start and end well..." "I just started!" Hu Zongxian put the jar heavily, and the wine splashed everywhere, "I am only fifty-three years old, and I have seventeen years left before retiring. The court is going to force me to retire? Is this how he treats meritorious officials!"

"Think about Yangming Gong." Chen was not in a hurry and said leisurely: "After quelling the rebellion of King Ning and restoring the peace of the people in the southeast, and making unparalleled achievements, why did he not seek credit for rewards, but instead wrote letters to ask for home and rest on the grounds of being sick?"

Wang Yangming was the person Hu Zongxian admired the most. After Chen said this, he felt less nervous. He closed his eyes and thought about Yangming's life. He was active and enterprising in the first half of the suffocation of King Ning. He was brave enough to do things. In the second half, he was away from the world and taught in the mountains and forests. He only came out when the court summoned him and returned to the end of the matter. He gave the world a feeling that Wang Yangming had no intention of power and position. He was really unintentional? Then why bother to take the Jinshi exam and get involved in the officialdom? In fact, he was preparing to preserve his reputation and had to do it.

"The poem" says: "Be wise and wise, to protect yourself." Seeing that his mind is getting more and more precautions, Shen hits the railway while it is hot: "We officials say that thinking twice before we act. Thinking three times is to think about danger, thinking about retreat, thinking about change." He then whispered: "When there is danger, you must show up in time, which is called thinking about danger; hiding in a place where others no longer pay attention to you is called thinking about retreat; retreat by retreating, and protecting yourself, and saving the hope of making a comeback. Look slowly, slowly thinking, summarizing the previous merits and demerits, and how to change in the future, this is called thinking about change." "Thinking about danger, thinking about retreat, thinking about change?" Hu Zongxian looked at Shen and said: "Isn't it just a word 'ret, right?" Obviously a little disagreeable. The scenery on both sides is flying backwards, which is dazzling, and a blue-gray city not far ahead is becoming clearer and clearer.

A boundary marker next to the post road was getting closer and closer. The old general wiped his sweat and looked at it. He saw that there was three mottled words engraved on it, and finally arrived at his destination. His expression became even more nervous and he whispered: "Boll the flags and let me be more energetic. After successfully passing this level, all of them will be promoted to the next level!"

It seemed like a __snail chicken blood, the exhausted soldiers cheered up their spirits, spread the flags on the horse's back and hung them on a spear over a 10-meter-long spear. Sixteen flags of various colors fluttered in the wind, including eight door flags, two golden drum flags, two Cuihua flags, and four golden flags. Their styles were immediately different. This team of ordinary cavalry immediately became the ceremonial guard of the left governor and the general of Jiangbei. "Boll up the flag of our officers." The civil servant also ordered his subordinates.

So eight large flags were opened, the sun, moon and star flags were covered with green flowers and purple flags, and the left deputy censor of the Censorate and Governor Su Song were also prepared.

So, under the guidance of the ceremonial guards and surrounded by guards, the two high-ranking officials, marched towards Hangzhou City with great momentum. The conversation continued on Chonghu Island.

"This word "有有" is not simple. The sage said that as an official, one must understand the way to advance and retreat. 有有有 can make people achieve success. Although everyone likes it, once it reaches "有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有有

"You can't learn from them. You have to learn from Wang Jian, Chen Ping, Guo Ziyi, Han Shizhong, and even Xu Da of this dynasty." Shen said again: "Take a step back and broaden the sky, endure the calm and calm for a while. Be patient with more grievances, be more low-key, and be more courteous to others. Only by retreating quietly can you feel that you are completely unthreatening. From now on, you can relax your vigilance and no longer want to persecute you." Hu Zongxian took a few sips of wine and smiled miserably: "It's easy to retreat, but half of your life's foundation is destroyed, and life will be lost from then on."

"No" Shen shook his head and said, "Retreat is a learning and a great responsibility. Some people think it is the end of the world, and since then they give up on themselves, they naturally have no interest in life; but some people regard it as a rare opportunity to reflect on themselves... They always live in a state of stars holding the moon, and they drink and chat every day, and "dazzled" people find it difficult to see themselves clearly. They will inflate themselves, narrow-mindedly, and finally lose themselves in the endless flattery. If the high-quality shocks the master is the objective reason for the tragedy, then this is the subjective reason for the tragedy."

Hu Zongxian knew that Shen was criticizing him after the words. When he was young, he was actually a Taoist scholar who restrained himself and regained etiquette. However, in order to show his ambitions, he began to learn to give gifts and treat guests to dinner. He gradually adapted to this kind of life and became accustomed to luxury and enjoyment. Because of his high position and power, no one dared to pour cold water on it. How could this not attract people's jealousy? Thinking of this, Hu Zongxian couldn't help but regret it and said, "Why didn't you say these words earlier?"

"It's not too late to say it now." Chen smiled and said, "If you don't have enough friends, then you will be stronger. You will hide your strength and wait and see what's going on. When you make a comeback, you will naturally be invincible in the world.

Hu Zongxian asked Chen to say something terrible, c, if this is true, it would be acceptable." But how can you guarantee that I will not die of old age in the mountains and forests?" "One time the emperor is storming-o

"Chen's eyes flashed with light and said, "The boss is ups and downs, and the government is in a turbulent manner. Who knows which day you will become the Xiang Shishi they are competing for?" "Hahaha..." Hu Zongxian picked up the wine bowl and shook Chao Chen and said, "If you say that when you take power in the future, I will be happier if I am the first to use me." "Of course I can say this." Chen smiled and said, "I'm afraid you can't wait."

Seeing the smoke rising from afar, the defenders of Hangzhou City immediately became nervous. After all, they had just passed the war and reacted very quickly. The gatekeeper climbed the city tower and observed that there were only a hundred people coming, so he ordered not to close the city gate and only to put the horses on the passage.

When the soldiers set up the horse-resisting formation, the gate-guard also saw the identity of the visitor clearly. It turned out to be the team of Liu Xian, the general officer of Jiangbei, and Tang Ru, the governor of Su Song. He quickly ordered people to report to the city, and ran down the city quickly and continued to the city gate.

At this time, Liu Xian's vanguard had already arrived in front of the horse-resisting formation, swept the horse with fierce eyes, and fell on the gate-guard lieutenant who had just come down, and scolded: "*** Ma Qianzi, why block the way for no reason." Although it was a swearing, he was familiar with it in his tone. Obviously, both sides knew each other, and it was probably a superior and subordinate.

Sure enough, the captain was scolded and laughed with him, "Look at what you said, I didn't dare to stop our boss even if I was brave enough to win the courage of the Xiongxin." Liu Xian once served as the general of Zhejiang, so these people were called the general. "Then why don't you move away quickly!" The vanguard said, "I've delayed the great affairs of the General Constitution, I've peeled your skin!" "But one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, the city of Hangzhou is temporarily allowed to go out. "***!" The vanguard raised his horse whip and said, "Open your dog's eyes and look, this is the team of the general and the governor, aren't you allowed to enter?"

"Of course..." The captain said vaguely. Those who can become the gatekeeper must be slick. They made up their minds and did not offend them. They smiled and said, "Xiao De has already gone in and asked for instructions. The adult inside came and spoke, and as soon as they were allowed to come in, the boss and the chief minister would come in."

"***, if you want to toast, you will be punished!" The vanguard's face became ferocious, and he was whipping his hands and whipping the captain's face. He knocked him to the ground, staring at the frightened soldiers with round eyes, and shouting, "Open the door!"

When the soldiers guarding the gate saw the former chief Biao, they saw that the former boss was indeed behind them. They thought it was a conflict between the upper class, so we little soldiers should not get involved, so we obediently moved the horse away and put them into the city.

Liu Xian led Tang Ruji to enter and soon met the Hangzhou general Lu Tong who was greeted. The two of them were superiors and subordinates. Lu Tong clasped his fists helplessly and said, "Zhengrong, why are you here? "Why can't I come?" Liu Xian said with a stern face: "Go to the governor's office first. "Let's go to the governor's office." Lu Tong said in surprise: "I have already asked people to prepare wine and food: i; . . . r. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"There are both holy orders and jun orders." Liu Xian looked at him and said, "Let's go." Lu Tong wanted to leave first, but now he had to order someone to pass the order. He followed Liu Xian nervously... Chen saw Hu Zongxian holding the wine bowl, thinking that he was going to touch him, so he also took it.

Unexpectedly, a layer of hostility appeared on Hu Zongxian's face. He threw his hand and threw the wine bowl to the ground. The fragments and wine splashed on his cotton robe, making the quilt a little stunned.

The sound of the slap was shocked by Sanchi and others outside rushed in. Chen waved them back and said, "If you don't have my order, you won't be allowed to come in even if you are overturned." Sanchi wanted to say something, but was shocked by Chen's stern gaze and retreated out in a bad mood.

There were only two of them left in the room. Hu Zongxian stared at Chen and said, "Are you really doing it for my own good?"

"Of course." Chen said without hesitation: "Don't you believe me?"

"You don't believe me." Hu Zongxian snorted coldly, "If I guess correctly, Liu Xian and Tang Kekuan are already on the way to Hangzhou, right? At most, tomorrow, they will take over the city defense... Then, with your style, you will definitely get Jiangbei, and Zhejiang officers will be in great exchanges to transfer all my direct troops to Jiangbei, so that my force will be removed, and I can no longer help but think." When he said this, his face was filled with a strong teasing look: "Right, brother?" The sarcastic meaning in his tone was too strong.

I have been in trouble for many years, but I have not resisted this sudden moment. I have to take the opportunity to calm down my panic.

"Hahahaha..." Hu Zongxian admitted when he saw him, and his heart was filled with infinite sadness. He roared at the sea like a wounded beast: "The future is full of golden tears, and the three lives of white bones. Even if he is as close as a brother, he can stab me in the back, how can he believe that those who are confident will accompany me along the way to the darkness?"
