Volume 1 Chapter 437 Mr. Xiaoge may have another solution

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Ordinarily, Wu Jie and Hu Zongtang belong to different camps.  There are roughly three factions of ministers in the court: Yandang, Qingliu, and Yuwang.

    ? Among them, the Yu Wang family is actually a clear stream, such as Zhang Juzheng, Zhen Lun, and Gao Gong. Although they are not many in number, they all hold high positions.

    And most of the official positions with real power in the six ministries are controlled by strict factions, and Jueyu spreads throughout the government and the public.

    As for Wu Jie and Li Chunfang, strictly speaking, they can be regarded as imperial party members, the attendants and personal secretaries of Emperor Jiajing.

    The situation in front of him is that Jiajing feels that the Yan Party is too powerful and intends to cut it off, and Hu Zongxian is Yan Song's favorite disciple.

    Since Wu Jie and Qi Jiguang defied the Governor-General's Office of Zhejiang Province to send troops directly and killed Luo Longwen, it can be said that he and Yan Dang completely fell out.  We all have different views and don't work together. Why did Hu Zongxian invite himself to come over and speak?

    Wu Jie was very puzzled. He stood on the bow of the ship and looked at it in the wind and snow. The dozen or so ships were slowly approaching, and the big flag with Chinese characters on the bow was fluttering sadly in the wind, which looked very bright under the hazy sky.  Very desolate.

    Hu Zongxian was dismissed from his post as Governor of Xizhi this time and returned to Beijing to report on his duties. If nothing unexpected happened, the emperor was going to take action against Yan Dang this time.  A dignified second-rank official who had been in charge of the military and political power of the five provinces south of the Yangtze River for many years was about to be dismissed. Wu Jie felt a little pity in his heart.

    The snow fell heavily, and when it was blown by the river wind, it hit my face extremely painfully.

    The current in the Grand Canal was very fast. It took a long time before Hu Zongxian's official ship got close to Wu Jie and a jumper came over.

    Strange to say, in the middle of winter, all the rivers in the north were frozen, even the surging Yellow River. However, the Dayuan River still flowed smoothly, which made Wu Jie feel very strange.

    There are several theories about the reason why the Grand Canal does not freeze in winter.  One is that the Dayuan River flows rapidly; the other is that the salt content of the Dayuan River is higher than that of ordinary rivers, and the freezing point is lower.  No matter what, it's always better if it doesn't freeze, otherwise it will be troublesome if the traffic between the north and the south is cut off.

    A man who looked like a clerk stood at the door of the cabin and shouted: "But Mr. Wu Jiewu, please come in."

    This shouting is very impolite.  However, Wu Jie was only a sixth-rank official. Although Hu Zongxian had been removed from the post of Governor of Xizhi, he still had the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and was a second-rank official.

    Therefore, Wu Jie didn't think there was anything wrong, so he went straight onto Hu Zongxian's boat and walked toward the cabin with his head held high.

    As soon as he entered the window cabin, he felt a wave of heat coming over him, and Wu Jie was slightly surprised by the wealthy scene inside.  Thick wool blankets were spread on the floor, several red copper stoves were lit, and the furniture inside was painted shiny.  There was a small table inside. On the table were bowls and plates made of gold and silver, containing exquisite dishes that could not be named.

    There are not many people, just Hu Zongxian and Xu Wei.

    Xu Wei was probably very drunk and smelled of alcohol all over his body. He lay directly on the blanket, looking like a bohemian celebrity.

    Hu Zongxian, on the other hand, straightened his back and sat cross-legged, looking very energetic between his brows.

    Seeing Wu Jie come in, Hu Zongxian laughed and stretched out his hand: "Shizhen, it's been more than half a year since we were separated from each other in Hangzhou. We meet today. The wind is still coming. Please sit down. It's still half a day's journey to the capital. Why don't you and I live together?  How about banishing the wine and chatting to the lonely guests in the room?"

    "How dare you refuse to accept the offer from Hu Butang?" Wu Jie did not refuse and sat cross-legged opposite Hu Zongxian.

    A pair of bowls and chopsticks had been prepared on the table. Hu Zongxian slowly lifted up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Wu Jie: "Hu Zongxian returned to the capital this time to report on his work. Because it was approaching the end of the year, he was eager to meet his mentor and left quickly, but he didn't want to leave in the middle of the year.  I am overjoyed to meet Shi Zhen on the road. Today you and I are together, and Hu wants to toast you three glasses of wine. These three glasses of wine are very particular, so drink first as a sign of respect."

    After saying that, he picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp: "The first cup is Hu's apology to Shizhen."

    Hu Zongxian lit up the bottom of his cup and said, "That day when we were hunting in the fields in Hangzhou, Hu wanted to give Shizhen a show of strength. Now that I think about it, I feel really ashamed. It was not what you did."

    Wu Jie didn¡¯t expect that Hu Zongxian would actually apologize to him. He was stunned but admired him.  This Mr. Hu is really upright and aboveboard!

    He smiled bitterly and without saying a word, he picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

    Hu Zongxian filled another cup for himself and Wu Jie, and drank it first as a token of respect: "The second cup, Hu Zongxian is honoring Shizhen on behalf of the people in the southeast. If Shizhen hadn't led the troops to exterminate the Japanese pirates, I don't know how many more battles would have been fought.  Years, how many lives will be lost."

    Wu Jie felt slightly unhappy. He drank the wine in his glass and said slowly: "Hu Butang, please forgive Wu Jie for speaking bluntly. Hengyu Island is the key to the war in the southeast. As long as the Japanese pirates on the island are wiped out, the enemy of Fujian will be defeated in one fell swoop.  . This is the right move, everything will be saved. Wu Jie doesn¡¯t understand military affairs, but he can still see this.Xibutang has led troops for many years, and his military skills are much better than Wu Jie's. Why can't he see it?  "

    Hu Zongxian silently poured another glass of wine for himself and Wu Jie. After a long time, he said: "A husband must do something unpleasant in this world. No one can break the world's human relationships."

    Wu Jie laughed: "Your Excellency, you still can't put aside the selfish interests of your party. For the sake of so-called favor and community, you actually put the common people and society at risk. Yes, Mr. Hu is loyal to your mentor. Others mention you  , everyone admires them in their hearts. But have you ever thought about whose salary you, Mr. Hu, get? As officials, the clothes we wear and the food we eat are all taxes paid by the people. Loyalty and filial piety cannot have both, but the word loyalty is.  The first priority is the interests of the country and the nation, which is greater than the interests of a party or a group. Wu Jie used to admire your moral character, but now it seems that you are pitiful."

    Ming Zongxian sighed and drank another drink: "This time when I return to Beijing, Hu knows what is waiting for me, but he has no regrets. Maybe you are right. The reason why Hu is in the situation he is in today is not because of selfish motives.  . Please finish this cup, it¡¯s not in vain for me to get to know Mr. Wu.¡±

    He threw the cup on the ground: "Shizhen, Hu Zongxian returned to Beijing this time and served as an official in the same court as your Excellency. When we meet in the future, we will be political enemies. Each has his own persistence and teachers. If I have offended him in any way, please forgive me."

    There is an indescribable desolation between the brows.

    Wu Jie became solemn: "Your Majesty is right. It's not in vain that you and I got to know each other. Wu Jie has to drink this cup no matter what. In the future, our positions will be different, so please don't hold back."

    After saying that, he raised his head and drank, threw the cup on the ground, and strode outside.

    The door curtain fluttered, and a cold wind was about to come in, mixed with large flakes of snow, making the cabin suddenly hazy.

    Hu Zongxian sat there motionless, letting the wind and snow hit his face, his eyes as bright as knives.

    It was probably the cold wind that woke up Xu Wei who was lying on the ground. Suddenly, he sat up and burst into tears: "I have never stopped seeing snow in my life, but now I am heartbroken to see it. Yesterday I lost a pool of cotton."  , I can punch three feet of iron in one night."

    After crying and singing, he picked up the wine bottle on the table and started drinking.

    The cold wine flowed along the beard and dripped down the front.

    Hu Zongxian looked at Xu Wei with a smile: "Weeping when writing a long song, it's time to sing it to a celebrity!"

    "You, you, you, Hu Zongxian, you can still laugh." Xu Wei burst out laughing, pointing at Ming Zongxian and giggling weirdly, moving his shoulders.

    Hu Zongxian had been guests and hosts of Xu Weihe for many years. He knew his nature and was not angry. He said: "Chief Wen is worried that Hu will be robbed of the prize by Wu Jie because of the war in the southeast this time and lose his favor with his majesty. Don't be careful. Hu Zongxian has been in trouble for many years."  I am in harmony with His Majesty and his ministers. Moreover, with my mentor in court, my return to the capital will definitely be safe.

    "You wish it were better." Xu Wei stumbled to his feet. He was probably very drunk. He held his hands on the bulkhead and looked over with squinting eyes. He said: "It's a joke that the king and his ministers get along with each other. In the king's heart, there is only  Machiavellian, but without emotion.¡±

    After all, Hu Zongxian is an orthodox Confucian disciple. He takes the relationship between monarch, minister and father and son very seriously. His face darkened and he said, "If you are long, be careful what you say."

    Xu Wei: "Your Majesty trusts you and respects you because of your ability to lead troops and Mr. Yan Ge's ability to manage money. But this time Wu Jie and Qi Jiguang take action, the banditry in the southeast will be solved in one fell swoop. As for financial management, haha,  Wu Shizhen is not weaker than Mr. Ge and Mr. Xiaoge. Besides, there is also Zhang Juzheng, who has better financial management skills. What's the use of losing our long live life? Don't you understand that His Majesty can be used by you?  I will lift you up to the sky. Once you are no longer needed, you will be nothing more than shit."

    Hu Zongxian's heart sank, and he said after a long time: "No, Mr. Wen, you have really misjudged Your Majesty. Long live a believer in the magic of gods, and he is very happy with his success. Hu Zongxian found a white deer in Xijiang this time. This is the doctor's auspicious sign, and it has been given away.  Went to the capital."

    Indeed, Emperor Jiajing was a man of great face and had a special hobby for auspicious things.  Hu Zongxian has also sent many strange and eccentric things to Beijing over the years, such as the six-foot-long pig dragon and the unnamed bird from Luzon Island obtained from maritime merchants. Each time, Jiajing was delighted.  , and ordered commendations.

    This time, the Governor's Office of Xizhi was abolished, and Hu Zongxian also realized that something was wrong, so he hurriedly sent the white deer to the capital, hoping that it would win Jiajing's favor and survive this disaster safely.

    "Auspicious auspiciousness, it's too late!" Xu Wei shook his head: "The imperial power is supreme. Your Excellency and the Pavilion Elder have become too powerful in recent years and have been banned by Your Majesty. No matter how much auspiciousness you send, it is useless. This is a strong monarch who knows what he wants.  What, what needs to be done.¡±

    Hu Zongxian was stunned and muttered after a long time:??: "My mentor will definitely have an idea."

    Xu Wei probably felt that he was too drunk and had no strength to speak, so he simply lay down on the carpet and murmured: "I'm afraid Mr. Ge doesn't have any ideas, but Mr. Xiao Ge will never let him go. After your Excellency enters the capital,  Be sure to talk to Mr. Xiao Ge as soon as possible, maybe there is a chance of recovery hoo hoo"

    Before he finished speaking, he had already fallen asleep.

    Hu Zongxian shook his head in pain, picked up a piece of tiger skin, and gently covered his body. He sat alone at the table, looking out the window at the heavy snow that seemed to never stop.
