The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Hearing that Dai Quan was about to summon himself, Sun Shaozong suddenly became nervous.

It won't be Prince Yizhong's business, what else do you need to send yourself to deal with the aftermath?

Although Sun Shaozong was thinking just now that he wanted to spy on the secret behind the death of Prince Yizhong, he never meant to get involved directly.

However, the boss had orders, no matter how reluctant, he could only be careful, thinking about countermeasures, and follow the little **** step by step to the doorway on the right.

Entering inside, seeing Dai Quanzheng leading the two little eunuchs, standing in the deepest part of the middle section, Sun Shaozong hurried a few steps and was waiting to see the salute, but suddenly found that the atmosphere was a little strange.

The first thing that makes people feel weird is the state of Dai Quan at this time.

I saw him take off the three-mountain hat on top of his head, revealing his gray head, hunched back, hands facing, his eyes are muddy and vacant, and his expression is lazy and bleak. If it weren't for a brocade robe and jade belt, his temperament is almost the same as that of the slack season. Old farmers in the country are no different.

As the head of the eunuch, he has always been known for his dignity, and only about his momentum to rebuke Fang Qiu, Shang Shu and the general are also slightly inferior by three points.

Today, this fatigue is revealed for the first time, as if the thing supporting the spine was pulled away by someone.

What is even more weird is that facing Dai Quan's state, the two little eunuchs next to him neither avoided taboos nor offered relief, but stared at Dai Quan staring blankly.

At first, Sun Shaozong thought that the last name of these two people is ‘zuo’ and the other is ‘death’, but upon closer inspection, it seems that this is not the case.

The expressions of the two men were mixed with fear and trepidation. Obviously, they also knew that under such a situation, they were still staring at Dai Quan intently. It was like a mouse playing a cat.

But they still kept their eyes on it, as if... they were acting according to someone's assignment.

Thinking about it this way, Sun Shaozong couldn't help becoming more astonished. In the entire palace, the only one who dared to send people to monitor Dai Quan in such a blatant manner was probably only Emperor Guangde!

Could it be said that the death of Prince Yizhong yesterday involved Dai Quan?

But this shouldn't be!

Dai Quan is an old man who has been with Emperor Guangde for decades. He is the only one in the palace in terms of closeness. Since he took charge of Beizhen Fusi, he has participated in countless secrets.

After experiencing so many right and wrong, what else can make him fall into the need to be closely monitored overnight?

After thousands of twists and turns, Sun Shaozong's movements were only a short pause, and he bowed to the courtesy and said, "Xiaguan Sun Shaozong, I have seen the commander!"

It took a full ten seconds before Dai Quan replied quietly: "Let's go, come with me to see the Qing Palace."

With that, he picked up the three-mountain hat with gold thread from the desk next to it, and put it on his head carefully.

When the red velvet rope between his neck was fastened, his waist also stood up again, and his official steps with his legs swayed, seemed to have recovered a bit of the old stunner.

But Sun Shaozong followed behind, but he always felt that Dai Quan's back was rendered bleak by this late autumn.

But right now, he can't think about it too much.

Since Emperor Guangde personally summoned him, it must be a lot more troublesome than previously imagined that the end of the hand that needs to be dealt with!

And now it seems that even Dai Quan is planted. How dare he go to this muddy water without knowing the depth?

But if the emperor really arranged the dirty work himself, who could refuse it?

"You wait outside."

I was trying to figure out what errands I would be doing today. Suddenly hearing Dai Quan's order in front of him, Sun Shaozong discovered that he had already reached the gate of the Imperial Study Room of the Qianqing Palace before he knew it.

Seeing Dai Quan go in and make a statement, he quickly condensed his mind, tidyed up his appearance, and prepared to welcome the emperor's summons.

After a while, I heard a mellow voice from inside: "Your Majesty has a purpose, Sun Shaozong, the ruler of Xuanshun Tianfu, has heard it."

Sun Shaozong hurriedly bowed forward and crossed the half-foot-high threshold. While turning over and kneeling down, he watched the situation in the imperial study room.

Unexpectedly, at this time, besides Emperor Guangde and Dai Quan, there were also five important officials from Zhu Zi in the Imperial Study.

The top leader is not someone else. It is the cabinet Cisuke He Tiren who has been in prison and caused his son's head to be dyed green.

The two who accompany the last seat are Zhao Hong, Shangshu from the Household Department, and Lu Yanbin, Shangshu from the Ministry of War.

The other two couldn't see their faces for a while due to their angles, but based on their location, they should all be cabinet bachelors.

In this way, except for the first assistant who is recovering from illness, and Xu Furen, who has submitted his resignation, but has not completely gone through the procedures, all the three internal scholars have arrived.

In addition, the two officials from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War...

The panic in Sun Shaozong's heart immediately disappeared for the most part.

Because no matter how you look at this lineup, it doesn't seem to be discussing the secrets of the palace.

From the fact that the Hubu Shangshu and the War Department Shangshu attended the meeting, the other four departments did not participate in it. It is inferred that the content to be discussed in this meeting is inseparable from the Wuxi Barbarian Rebellion.

If you think about it again, holding a military conference at this time is really a good way to calm people's hearts. It can at least show that Emperor Zhizhu is in control, and that he is not too loyal to the prince’s ‘national funeral’ treatment.

Of course, in this way, I am afraid that a result must be negotiated today, otherwise such a big battle during the national funeral will not even make a sound in the end. Wouldn't it make the ministers outside be suspicious out of thin air?

as predicted.

After finishing the ceremony, he listened to Emperor Guangde's instructions: "Sun Zhizhong, please repeat what you said in Jingren Palace that day to the adults."

Sun Shaozong hurriedly responded, and then prepared himself to use a small amount of elites to choose the weak tribe of the Wuxi Barbarian as a breakthrough point to launch an asymmetrical raid, and then to provoke the Wuxi Barbarian's combat policy of civil strife.

This was originally an idea that came up with a slap in the face, but after thinking about it these days, it is naturally much better than the original version.

After he replied, the five important ministers in the imperial study gave four responses.

The household servant Zhao Hongxi nodded his head in a big way.

Lu Yanbin, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was busy talking about ‘ridiculous’ and ‘I don’t know what to say.’

The two college bachelors who finally showed their faces were watching their noses and noses, as if they had already understood them, and they didn't seem to understand them at all.

As for Ge Lao Cifu He, when I saw him a little bit at first, it seemed that he was agreeing with what he said. Who knows, after he finished speaking, he was still there and dropped his head from time to time.

This old man...

Isn't it just dozing off?

"His Majesty."

Sun Shaozong is still trying to figure out whether He Ge is waking up in his dream or not, and Lu Yanbin, the official book of the Ministry of War, decisively stated: "The adult Ding Zhuang of Wuxi barbarians is no less than 30,000. Moreover, the former broke through the county and slaughtered the imperial officials. Morale is high, and it will inevitably guard against retaliation by the officers and soldiers."

"At this time, how can you count on the courage of hundreds of people in a small town with the thunder of the thunder?"

"If there is any discord, the culprits take the prestige of two victories, but the officers and soldiers will decline again and be exhausted, I am afraid that the whole province of Huguang will be eroded by this!"

As he said, he bowed and clasped his fists again: "Just Huangkouruzi, where do you know that the soldiers are fierce and dangerous? Please don't listen to his empty words, which will ruin the military affairs."

"Haha!"

Before Emperor Guangde spoke, Zhao Hong sneered twice. He brushed his sleeves and said with disdain: "Since Mr. Sun came out of the capital, he has broken countless large and small cases. He is known for his shrewdness and courage. How can it be the courage of a man in your mouth?"

As he said, he also went out and saluted Emperor Guangde: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that Sun's strategy of plundering thieves was not completely unreasonable, so you might as well try..."

"absurd!"

Lu Wenbin also flicked his sleeves, and almost slapped Zhao Hong on the face: "Those who live in the mountains and the mountains, do not say that there are many people, and they are known for their bravery. The officers and soldiers come from afar. How can you be sure to win if you are not dominant?"

"It's not..."

"but."

Zhao Hong was waiting to sneer, but Lu Wenbin rushed to say: "If your old Zhao is willing to protect him with his wealth, this official will have nothing more to say."

Zhao Hong was at a loss for words. Although he tended to support Sun Shaozong, he still had no confidence in such things as one enemy and one hundred.

If Lu Wenbin died at this time, it would be considered a victorious return.

However, in the past two years, the Ministry of War has been arguing with the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development because of food and payment issues. Lu Wenbin has been repeatedly squandered by Zhao Hong. At this time, he has finally gained the upper hand in the professional field, so he will stop here?

I couldn't help but sneered and said: "It's normal, but now the military affairs are involved, Lord Zhao is still only calculating the small profits. It seems that it is the origin of family learning."

Zhao Hong is able to do the book of the household department. The background of the merchants is not without benefit, but he most hates others who talk about the ‘End of the Four People’.

As a result, the neck was now thick, and the red head retorted with a bulging face: "Tendy and small? What you said is light. At the moment, the six kingdoms of southern Xinjiang are unstable, and 80,000 troops are out of town and canton; Heishui Mohe in the north is In the chaos, the imperial court also had to send 50,000 troops to the west of Liaoning. In order to suppress the bandits in the southeast, the imperial court had to ban the sea and detained tea and silk, which reduced the imperial court's income by two and a half."

"These piles are piece by piece, which one doesn't need salary?!"

"It all depends on your majesty's kindness and frugality, often using domestic money to subsidize the government, and my head of household has exhausted wisdom to increase income and reduce expenditure, and this can barely maintain the situation."

"It's better now, you have Lu Wenbin with a big mouth, and you want to make a magnificent soldier! You still have to go to the barren mountain and the big ze to pursue those mountain barbarians!"

"Let me ask you, if the rebellion cannot be put down quickly, where should the food and payment be raised?! How should the ordnance be supplemented?!"

The more he talked, the more excited he got, and he almost smeared Lu Wenbin's face with saliva.

Lu Wenbin took a half step back in disgust, but he was reluctant to lose the wind, and said with a sneer: "The food and payment are your household affairs, and our war department will only fight the war."

"you……"

"All right!"

Zhao Hong waited to chase him and continued to stick his face output, but Emperor Guangde finally couldn't help but yelled: "You two are also dignified second-tier members at any rate, how can you be so ghoulish in front of the younger generations?"

Since the emperor had spoken, the two of them could only condemn the crime in unison, returning to their original positions, eye for eye through the air.

Emperor Guangde's gaze fell on He Tiren, who was on his mouth. No matter if he was dozing off like a chicken pecking at the rice, he directly named him and said: "He Ge, what do you think?"

Old He Ge was agitated, and at first he uttered a dazed "ah" twice, and then when everyone looked at him, he asked slowly: "The old man, this ear is a little unwilling recently, dare to ask Master Lu, you just said Want to be a great soldier, right?"

"Exactly."

After receiving Lu Wenbin's affirmative answer, he slowly turned his attention to Zhao Hong: "Master Zhao, what do you mean is that the imperial court is now in financial difficulties and cannot afford the army to enter the mountains to suppress bandits, right?"

"exactly."

Zhao Hong also hurriedly responded.

Elder He Ge nodded, then turned his gaze to Sun Shaozong, grinning and asked: "As for Mr. Sun, he should be loyal and courageous with his life and death aside, and the old man should have heard it right."

Without waiting for Sun Shaozong's answer this time, Emperor Guangde was a little impatient, and he scolded half-truth: "What kind of trick are you old guy playing? I want to ask you which opinion you agree with!"

"His Majesty."

Seeing Elder He Ge bowed, he said calmly: "From the opinion of the ministers, what the three adults said is reasonable, and the ministers all agree."

As he said, he twisted his fingers again, and calculated, "This magnificent soldier must be prosperous..."

"Elder Ge! This food and payment..."

When Zhao Hong heard this, he couldn't help but retort, but he listened to He Ge's old saying: "But there is no need to go to so many people, let Sun Master choose three to five hundred elite..."

"Old Ge! I'm afraid this is..."

This time it was Lu Wenbin's turn to change his color suddenly, but he heard Old He Ge said again: "Then I will serve as the vanguard of the army, and that is to explore the nearby terrain, so as to clear the way for the 100,000 army behind."

"If Mr. Sun does not humiliate his mission, and he has achieved a world-less marvelous achievement, he will naturally no longer need to labor the court army.

"Even if things are inconsistent, with the wisdom and courage of Mr. Sun, coupled with the fact that all his subordinates are elite, who must kill several times the barbarians, it is not a problem."

"At that time, we will think of a way to transfer the army. Not only will it not weaken its momentum, but it will make the culprits misjudge the strength of the officer army and say that the army hasn't arrived, so they will drop in the wind."

Having said this, he bowed his hand to Sun Shaozong again and said: "It's just that, I'm afraid that I will wrong Master Sun. Not only can we not bring the king's flag to control the place, but we can't even lower the rank of that official rank as an ordinary person. Five thousand households."

Otherwise, **** is still old and spicy.

With a few words from He Tiren, the crux of the problem was solved.

Lu Wenbin's strong opposition was mainly because he was worried that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court would lose their troops again, which would completely shake the morale of the people in Huguang, and then the Wuxi barbarians would take the opportunity to grow bigger.

But if the imperial court's soldiers and horses were changed to be the outpost horses of the army, the form would be quite different.

Even if Sun Shaozong was really defeated and killed, from the perspective of Huguang, it was just the loss of an unknown young general and hundreds of stragglers, which was nothing compared to the tens of thousands of troops that followed.

What's more, with Sun Shaozong's bravery, plus the elites selected by his subordinates, even if the plan fails, it shouldn't be a problem to kill two thousand and damage five hundred.

In this way, not only will it not hurt morale, but will make the officials and people of Huguang have more confidence in the follow-up army.

Perhaps because of this, the Wuxi barbarians will misjudge the strength of the officer army.

At that time, whether it is really sending a large army to conquer ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ or looking for an opportunity to send people to seek peace and differentiation, it will only add help and will not do any harm.

The only thing that will be damaged by this plan is probably only Sun Shaozong. Others will be promoted to the next level when they go out of Beijing. This is good, but they are also downgraded by one level.

As for the uncontrollable place, Sun Shaozong has pros and cons, at least there is no need to share the responsibility of keeping the soil.

But even if he suffered a lot, how could he back down at this moment?

Immediately turned to his knees, and graciously promised: "Your Majesty, Elder Ge! The minister is sloppy, and I still understand the truth of'*******,*******'! Not to mention it is a five-tier thousand households. , It is the military position of the 7th and 8th ranks, and the ministers are also happy to go for it!"

"it is good!"

Emperor Guangde immediately took the case and praised him: "What a ‘******,*******’. With just this sentence, Ai Qing will be able to stay in history!"

Uh~

It seems that he accidentally made a copy of the text.
