"My lord, the existing Liu Wu confession is here, and the subordinate... has been confirmed, and the details disclosed in it are basically in line with the behavior of the White Lotus Sect."
Seeing a confession, Wu Shuigen raised his hands above his head, his behavior became more and more respectful, but his mentality was somewhat calmer.
Originally, he was forced to take refuge in the imperial court, but it was a helpless act of last resort, but because of Liu Wu's face, he really showed a bit of sincerity.
Sun Shaozong received the report early, but he was not surprised by his change. He stretched out his hand to take the confession and studied it carefully from beginning to end.
Liu Wu, who discovered this confession, was not actually the team that Ge Deli brought to the capital, but last spring, he was transferred from the Lanzhou branch to Aunt Li.
According to Liu Wu's confession, Aunt Li was usually very cautious, and she personally controlled several hidden stakes in the capital, and seldom let outsiders intervene.
Therefore, Liu Wu has been in Beijing for a year and a half, and only recently has he been in contact with Wu Shuigen and his wife a few times.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Wu's confession was mostly based on what he had seen and heard in Lanzhou at the beginning, as well as Aunt Li's use of 'friendship' as a channel to steal the secrets of the court.
This information cannot be said to be completely useless, but it is quite far from Sun Shaozong's expectations.
It seems that the White Lotus Sect went to Beijing to look for the Holy Maiden this time. Although it was a bit reckless, the internal security measures were usually adequate.
But disappointment is disappointment, Wu Shuigen should be encouraged to be able to export his confession so quickly.
Putting the confession on the table, Sun Shaozong said with a smile: "Yes, it's a little bit beyond the official's expectations to be able to progress so quickly - but you can't be complacent, you have to make persistent efforts."
"Under... I must do my best!"
Wu Shuigen was busy and bowed to the end. After standing up a little, seeing Sun Shaozong smiling quite warmly, he dared to ask: "I dare to ask your lord, what should the thief Liu Wu do?"
"Take him to identify first, and see who was captured and killed last night, and who was missing—especially the leading figures!"
When Sun Shaozong said this, he glanced at Wu Shuigen with a half-smile, and then continued: "Then change him into a warrior's clothes, and let him fight beside you for the time being."
The junior school with the lowest official rank in the Dragon Imperial Guard is also the ninth grade of the serious children. Although this shows the special status of the Dragon Imperial Guard, it also leads to the dilemma of insufficient manpower.
In order to make up for the vacancies in manpower, temporary workers like Lux who were not staffed came into being—of course, even if they were not staffed, they would be able to work as a post in Beizhen Fusi, and their treatment and authority would still be far better than that of an ordinary post.
Wu Shuigen heard that Liu Wuzhi was mixed with a wrestler, and it was a world apart from his own eighth-rank small flag, and his heart suddenly felt a little happy.
So I bowed my head, and went back to work full of energy.
As soon as he left, the smile on Sun Shaozong's face instantly collapsed. He covered his mouth and yawned heavily. He pressed the timeline prepared on the table, together with Liu Wu's confession, with a paperweight, and got up and walked outside. .
Now that he is busy, he has not even eaten breakfast. He originally thought that with the help of Liu Wu's confession, he could find out some useful clues, such as the authentication method of the reincarnated saint, or the inner responder hidden in the government, or At the inn, who had leaked the news
So Sun Shaozong cheered up and waited for Wu Shuigen to come and report.
Now that I am disappointed, I naturally have to make sacrifices to the temple of the five internal organs first.
"grown ups."
As soon as he walked out of the guard room, Yang Licai immediately greeted him.
Sun Shaozong casually threw a piece of silver over and instructed: "Let the stove prepare a table of good wine and good food, and send it to the torture room. It is said that it was rewarded by this official."
Yang Licai was about to return the money, but Sun Shaozong had already left the water prison with great strides.
He hurried up and asked cautiously, "Where are you going to eat, my lord?"
"Look for a clean place nearby..."
"Lord Qianhu, Lord Qianhu!"
Just at this moment, I saw a small flag flying over, and he shouted in a distant voice: "There is an order from the palace, let you enter the palace to see the driver immediately!"
got~
This time, I'm afraid I'm going to have dinner together.
It seems that the imperial court attaches more importance to the White Lotus Sect than he thought, otherwise at least he should wait until he asks something before summoning himself into the palace.
I asked the eunuch who was summoned, and I heard that he was a third-class imperial court.
Sun Shaozong dug out a few golden beans from his purse and quickly walked out to greet him. He cupped his hands first, then pulled the eunuch's sleeve and stuffed the golden beans into it. He smiled and said, "Eunuch Lao has been waiting for a long time."
The little eunuch first secretly turned his weight, and when he saw the fluttering one, he didn't press his hand very much, and his smile was a little unnatural. smile.
I heard him say in a shrill voice: "My lord is serious. For a hero like you, the miscellaneous family will wait a little longer. What's the problem?"
"Haha, my father-in-law doesn't care, and Sun doesn't dare to let His Majesty wait for a long time." Sun Shaozong said, and let his hand out: "Let's go now?"
"while walking!"
When they left the Beizhen Fusi side by side, there was a small school on duty, and they brought Sun Shaozong's dark horse, so they each got on their horses and galloped towards Miyagi.
Only this time, it was not Donghuamen, which usually summons foreign officials, but Xuanwumen, which was the closest to the inner courtyard of the palace.
According to Eunuch Li, Emperor Guangde was playing chess in Jingren Palace at this time, and after hearing Eunuch Dai's report, he immediately sent someone to summon Sun Shaozong to the palace to see him.
This Jingren Palace was originally the residence of high-ranking concubines in the palace, but it has now been changed to a planting base.
Those concubines who were not big enough to have chests and hips have all been moved to other places, and only Jia Yuanchun and three other fertile concubines were left for Emperor Guangde to work hard.
Speechless all the way.
Outside the Xuanwu Gate, after receiving a strict inspection, Sun Shaozong followed the eunuch Li, shuttled through the palace wall, and walked five or six miles before stopping in front of a palace group.
"Master Sun."
Seeing that Eunuch Li turned around and whispered, "You should have heard what kind of land is here. After entering, you shouldn't watch or listen to it, so don't listen to it."
What is there not to see in this blue sky and daylight
It can't be the four empresses running naked inside, right
Sun Shaozong was teasing in his heart, but with a grateful expression on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you father-in-law for the suggestion."
Then Eunuch Li led him and entered Jingren Palace through the side door. He walked around a red shadow that was almost 10 feet tall. Suddenly, he saw a pool of blue waves rippling in the middle, surrounded by two corridors, and the northwest corner was dotted with A small gazebo.
And in the distance, there are a few unremarkable small courtyards.
This scenery is far worse than the Grand View Garden in Rongguo Mansion.
Sun Shaozong was a little disappointed. He originally thought that the place where the concubines 'cuddled' would be more distinctive.
"Eunuch Li, you are back!"
Sun Shaozong just glanced at it a few times when a woman with a strong back flashed out from the corridor. She ran to the front with a skirt in her hand, looked up and down at Sun Shaozong, and praised, "Master Sun is indeed Qiyu Xuanang!"
When Sun Shaozong didn't know how to respond, she urged again: "Sir, come with me quickly, Your Majesty has already asked twice."
After saying that, he took care of himself and got into the corridor again.
Seeing that Eunuch Li was standing still, but motioned with his eyes to hurry up to follow, Sun Shaozong bowed his hands to him and hurriedly entered the corridor.
Following the maid of honor with a strong back, she walked all the way, and seeing that she was getting close to the small courtyards, the palace servants became denser.
However, I saw all of them with mediocre appearances, nothing dazzling, on the contrary, the palace maids who led the way stood out like chickens.
Isn't there a problem with Emperor Guangde's aesthetics
Thinking about it, he thinks it's wrong. He doesn't know about the other concubines, but Jia Yuanchun is a first-class beauty—his eldest sister-in-law often gossips in bed, but she has praised her as a beautiful appearance several times.
Just thinking like that, Sun Shaozong followed the palace maid into the second courtyard on the left.
Passing through a flowery corridor, and outside the main room, the palace maid stopped her steps and said softly under the eaves, "Your Majesty, the Sun Shaozong of Shuntian Palace has arrived."
After five or six seconds of silence, a cadenced voice came out: "Xuan~~!"
Sun Shaozong stepped in front of the door and saw Emperor Guangde leaning on the bed of an Arhat. He hurriedly lowered his body and bowed his head and entered the house. He turned over and knelt down and bowed: "My minister Sun Shaozong, I see you Your Majesty."
"Be flat."
Different from the solemnness of the last meeting, this time Emperor Guangde raised his hand genially, and when Sun Shaozong stood up with a bowed body, he took advantage of the situation to move his hand and commanded: "Give a banquet."
Before he finished speaking, two palace maids immediately brought a short table and placed it in front of Sun Shaozong. Immediately after, the various delicacies were brought up like flowing water.
Before waiting for the maid who delivered the food to exit the door, Emperor Guangde picked up a bright yellow cushion from the Luohan bed again, and instructed: "Send this cushion to Sun Qing."
Dai Quan next to him immediately put his hands in his hands and placed it in front of the cases in person. He smiled and said, "Sit down quickly. If you really think about it, you are the first to give a banquet in this Jingren Palace."
"Chen... Chen..."
After listening to his reminder, Sun Shaozong still doesn't understand, and it's time for a drama again
After stammering twice in excitement, his face turned red, and then he said in fear: "I can't afford to be your majesty's love!"
"If it's not right, I know it in my heart."
Emperor Guangde shook his head and laughed: "As the saying goes, 'The emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers', and if you have anything, you have to fill your stomach before you say it - if you don't sit down, it will be against the edict."
"Chen...I...I obey the order!"
Sun Shaozong performed two more choked sobs, and then knelt down on the bright yellow cushion.
First, he didn't dare to keep the emperor waiting for a long time, and secondly, he was really hungry, so he threw off his cheeks and raised his back molars to eat Haisai.
What kind of roasted pig, roasted goose, deer tendon, and bear's paw were filled with seven or eight pounds. Sun Shaozong wiped his face with the silk on the side, and respectfully got up and salute: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the banquet."
The Emperor Guangde above was obviously stunned, and it took him a long time to say, "Aiqing has eaten enough."
"Eighty percent full."
Sun Shaozong replied honestly: "It's easy to miss things if you eat too much for lunch."
Someone in the next room burst out laughing, but it quickly subsided.
And Emperor Guangde was speechless for a while, then Fang sighed: "Every time I read the remarks that the fierce generals of ancient times can 'eat a bucket of rice and ten pounds of meat', I always think that the later generations will exaggerate their words. I saw Aiqing's appetite today. Fang Zhi is actually real."
While speaking, Dai Quan had already instructed the palace servants to remove the remnant seat.
"Sun Aiqing."
At this time, Emperor Guangde's face gradually became solemn, and he said sternly: "Do you know why I called you into the palace?"
Sun Shaozong thought he knew it before, but after hearing this, he was a little unsure.
If it's for the White Lotus Sect, you don't need to test yourself at all, right
Could it be…
Is it for the Huguang Wuxi barbarian rebellion
After hearing about it from Xue Pan a few days ago, Sun Shaozong asked about it through his connections, and found that someone in the court recommended him to go to Huguang to quell the rebellion of the Wuxi barbarians.
However, in view of Sun Shaozong's age and qualifications, the recommender only listed him as one of the candidates for his deputy.
In view of the current chaotic situation in the capital, Sun Shaozong originally thought that it would be a good choice to go out to Huguang as his deputy.
But today, Emperor Guangde summoned himself personally, wouldn't it be just for a deputy
Could it be that…
Do you have the opportunity to go out to Huguang alone? !
Sun Shaozong has no shortage of credits and fame right now. What he lacks is the word 'qualification'. Going out to the town of Huguang alone to quell the rebellion, and even preside over the follow-up pacification work, is definitely a great opportunity to brush up his qualifications!
As long as this errand can be done safely, who can use 'young knowledge' to suppress themselves in the future
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but feel a little excited, but he said loudly: "This minister does not dare to arbitrarily judge the holy will."
Emperor Guangde waved his hand and said: "Since I asked you to guess, what is there to be rash and rash - whatever comes to mind, just say it."
"This… "
Sun Shaozong hesitated for a moment, then said loudly, "This minister dares to speculate wildly. Could it be that His Majesty summoned the minister for the sake of the southwest?"
"The Southwest thing?"
Who knew that Emperor Guangde was slightly taken aback when he heard this.
Oops!
Guessed wrong!
When Sun Shaozong saw this expression, he knew that he had an oolong. He was thinking about how to remedy it, but heard Emperor Guangde ask: "If I send you to Huguang to pacify the chaos, what are you going to do? How much food and soldiers do you need to allocate from the imperial court? horse?"
In fact, Emperor Guangde came to Sun Shaozong today to talk about the 'Prince'.
However, he really liked it. With Sun Shaozong as his deputy, he assisted the officers in pacifying the Huguang rebellion. Therefore, when Sun Shaozong took the initiative to mention this, he asked this question casually.
But Emperor Guangde's question aroused Sun Shaozong's ambition again. He secretly said that this opportunity is fleeting.
So he gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "If Your Majesty sends a minister to Huguang, there is no need for the court to allocate money, grain, soldiers and horses, as long as the word 'barbaric' is granted to the minister."
Emperor Guangde was really surprised when he heard this. Some of the courtiers who were originally interested in it were some who advocated direct appeasement, others who advocated suppression first and then appeasement, and those who advocated appeasement first, and then differentiated and suppressed.
But no matter what kind of strategy, you still have to use money, grain, soldiers and horses as bargaining chips. Like Sun Shaozong who clearly stated that he didn't want money, grain, soldiers and horses, as long as he had the word 'barbaric', it was unique.
So he hurriedly asked: "But I don't know the word 'barbarous', what do I do?"
Thank you for the reward of 'call me Wenwu, read every night, yyaJy2304'.
