"My lord, there are five confessions here, in the next ...... The humble position has been confirmed, and all the details revealed in it are basically in line with the White Lotus Sect's style of acting. ”

When Wu Shuigen saw a confession, he raised his hands above his head, his demeanor became more and more respectful, and his mentality was a little calmer.

Originally, he defected to the imperial court, but it was just a helpless move, but because of Liu Wu's face, he really had a little sincerity.

Sun Shaozong had already received the reward, but he was not surprised by his change, he reached out to take the confession and carefully studied it from beginning to end.

Liu Wu, who discovered this confession, was actually not the team that Ge Chen brought to the capital, but was transferred from the Lanzhou rudder to Aunt Li last spring.

According to Liu Wu's confession, Aunt Li is very cautious, and she personally controls several hidden piles in Beijing, and rarely lets outsiders interfere.

Therefore, Liu Wu has been in Beijing for a year and a half, and only recently has he had contact with Wu Shuigen and his wife a few times.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Wu confessed mostly what he had seen and heard in Lanzhou at the beginning, as well as Aunt Li's theft of court secrets through the channel of 'Xiangwei Yimo'.

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 entered Beijing to find the Holy Maiden this time, although it acted a little recklessly, the usual internal secrecy measures were quite okay.

However, disappointment is disappointment, Wu Shuigen can supply so quickly, but he should be encouraged.

Putting the confession on the table, Sun Shaozong smiled: "Yes, it is a bit unexpected to make progress so quickly, but you can't be complacent, you have to make persistent efforts." ”

"Under ...... I will do my best! ”

Wu Shuigen hurriedly bowed to the end again, and after getting up slightly, he saw Sun Shaozong smiling quite kindly, so he had the courage to ask: "Dare to ask my lord, what should the thief Liu Wu do?" ”

"Take him to identify it first, and see who was captured and killed last night, and who are missing, especially a few leaders!"

When Sun Shaozong said this, he glanced at Wu Shuigen with a smile, and then continued: "Then change him into the clothes of a wrestler, and let him fight by your side for the time being." ”

The junior colonel with the lowest rank in the Dragon Praetorian Guard is also the ninth rank of the Eight Classics, although this highlights the special status of the Dragon Praetorian Guard, but it also leads to the dilemma of insufficient manpower.

In order to make up for the shortage of manpower, a temporary worker like Lux came into being, of course, even if there is no establishment, he can be an errand in Beizhen Fusi, and his treatment and authority are far better than ordinary errand workers.

Wu Shuigen heard that the five willows were mixed with a wrestler, and it was a world of difference from his own eight-grade small flag, and his heart suddenly felt a little happy.

So he bowed and went back to work energetically.

As soon as he left, the smile on Sun Shaozong's face collapsed, he covered his mouth and yawned heavily, pressed the timeline prepared on the table with a paperweight along with Liu Wu's confession, got up and walked outside.

He was so busy that he hadn't even eaten breakfast, and he originally thought that he could use Liu Wu's confession to find out some useful clues, such as the authentication method of the reincarnated saintess, or the internal response hidden in the official mansion, or who leaked the news in the inn at the beginning.

So Sun Shaozong cheered up and waited for Wu Shuigen to come and report.

Since he is disappointed at the moment, he naturally wants to sacrifice to the temple of the five internal organs first.

"Your Excellency."

As soon as he walked out of the guard room, Yang Licai immediately greeted him.

Sun Shaozong casually threw a piece of broken silver over and ordered: "Let a table of good wine and food be prepared on the stove and sent to the torture room, and it will be said that it was rewarded by the official." ”

Yang Licai was about to return the silver, but Sun Shaozong had already strode out of the water prison.

He hurriedly rushed up and asked cautiously, "Then where are you going to eat?" ”

"Just find a clean ...... nearby"

"Senhu-sama, Senho-sama!"

At this moment, I saw a small flag flying over, and he greeted from a distance: "There is a will in the palace, let you enter the palace immediately!" ”

Get~

This time, I'm afraid I'm going to have to eat it with dinner.

It seems that the imperial court attaches more importance to this White Lotus Sect than he imagined, otherwise he should at least wait until he asks something before summoning himself to the palace.

Ask the summoned eunuch, I heard that it is a third-class Fengyu.

Sun Shaozong took out a few golden beans from his purse, walked quickly outside, first arched his hand, pulled the eunuch's sleeve, stuffed the golden beans into it, and said with a smile: "There is a long time for Gonggong Lao." ”

The little eunuch secretly reversed the weight first, and saw that the light fluttering did not press his hands much, and his smile was a little unnatural, but when he hugged his fist in return, he saw the yellow-orange-orange color in his palm, and he bloomed a chrysanthemum-like smile again.

I heard him say in a shrill voice: "My lord is serious, a hero like you, the miscellaneous family is waiting for more hours, what is the matter?" ”

"Haha, my father-in-law doesn't care, and Sun doesn't dare to let His Majesty marquis for a long time." Sun Shaozong said, and let his hand out: "Let's go here?" ”

"Walk, walk!"

When they came out of Beizhen Fusi side by side, the little colonel who had already been on duty brought Sun Shaozong's dark horse, so the two of them turned over and galloped towards Miyagi.

It's just that this time I went not to Donghua Gate, where foreign officials are usually summoned, but to the Xuanwu Gate, which is closest to the inner courtyard of the palace.

According to the eunuch Li, Emperor Guangde was playing chess in Jingren Palace at this time, and after listening to 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 the high-ranking concubines in the palace, but now it has been changed to a sowing base.

Those concubines who were not good enough to shrug their breasts and buttocks had been moved elsewhere, leaving only Jia Yuanchun and the other three good ones to be cultivated by Emperor Guangde.

Nothing to say all the way.

Outside the Xuanwu Gate, after receiving a strict investigation, Sun Shaozong followed the eunuch Li and shuttled through the palace walls, walking out of five or six miles before stopping in front of a palace group.

"Master Sun."

I saw that Eunuch Li turned around and whispered, "What kind of boundary is this, you should also have heard of it, and after you go in, you shouldn't see or listen, you must not look and listen." ”

What should you not see in this blue sky and white day?

It can't be those four mothers, running naked inside, right?

Sun Shaozong teased in his heart, but his face squeezed out some gratitude, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you father-in-law for mentioning it." ”

Then Eunuch Li led him, entered Jingren Palace from the side door, bypassed the back of a red and tall shadow, and suddenly opened up in front of him, only to see a pool of blue waves rippling in the middle, surrounded by corridors in two places, and a small pavilion dotted in the northwest corner.

And in the distance, there are several small and unremarkable courtyards.

This scenery is far worse than the Grand View Garden of Rongguo Mansion.

Sun Shaozong was a little disappointed, he originally thought that the place where the concubines 'hugged the nest' would be more distinctive.

"Grandpa Li, you can be regarded as back!"

As soon as Sun Shaozong glanced at it a few times, a woman with a tiger's back and a bear's waist flashed out of the corridor, carrying her skirt and running to the front, looking Sun Shaozong up and down a few times, and praised: "Lord Sun is really a Xuanang!" ”

Sun Shaozong didn't know how to respond, so she urged again: "My lord, come with me, Your Majesty has asked twice." ”

With that, he went back into the cloister.

Seeing that Eunuch Li was standing still, but signaled himself with his eyes to hurry up, Sun Shaozong arched his hand to him, and hurriedly entered the corridor.

Following the palace maid with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, he meandered all the way, and saw that he was close to those small courtyards, and the palace people who came and went became dense.

But I saw all the mediocre and unsightly palace maids, who led the way, like standing out from the crowd.

This Guangde Emperor's aesthetics, there won't be any problems, right?

Thinking about it, he feels that it is wrong, he doesn't know about other concubines, but Jia Yuanchun is a first-class beauty, and when her sister-in-law gossips in bed, she has praised her several times for her appearance as a national beauty.

Thinking like this, Sun Shaozong followed the palace maid into the second courtyard on the left.

After passing through a flower-filled road, I arrived outside the door of the main house, and saw the palace maid stop her footsteps and said coquettishly under the eaves: "Your Majesty, Sun Shaozong has arrived in the middle of the Shuntian Mansion." ”

There was silence for five or six seconds, and then a subdued voice came from inside: "Xuan~~!" ”

Sun Shaozong stepped to the door, saw Emperor Guangde leaning on an arhat bed, hurriedly bowed his head and entered the house, turned over and knelt down and bowed: "Minister Sun Shaozong, knock to see Your Majesty." ”

"Let's be flat."

Different from the solemnity of the last meeting, this time Emperor Guangde raised his hand kindly, and when Sun Shaozong stood up with a bow, he took advantage of the situation and made a gesture and ordered: "Give a banquet." ”

Before the words fell, two palace maids immediately brought a low table and placed it in front of Sun Shaozong, and then all kinds of delicacies were sent up like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, the cases were full.

Before the palace maid who delivered the food exited the door, Emperor Guangde picked up a bright yellow cushion from the Luohan bed and ordered: "Send this cushion to Sun Qing." ”

Dai Quan next to him immediately held his hands in front of those cases, and said with a smile: "Sit down, if you really want to count it, you are still the first to give a banquet in this Jingren Palace." ”

"Minister...... Minister......"

Listening to his reminder, Sun Shaozong still didn't understand, it was time to make a show again?

He stammered twice excitedly, and his face turned red, and then he said in a panic: "The minister can't afford to be so loved by His Majesty!" ”

"I don't deserve it, I know it in my heart."

Emperor Guangde shook his head and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, 'the emperor is not a hungry soldier', and if you have anything to fill your stomach first, then you will not sit down, but it will be a rebellion." ”

"Minister...... Minister...... Obey the order! ”

Sun Shaozong choked up twice, and then knelt on the bright yellow cushion.

First, he didn't dare to let the emperor wait for a long time, and secondly, he was really hungry, so he shook off his cheeks and picked up his back molars, and ate a lot of nonsense.

What kind of oven pig, roast goose, deer tendon, bear paw, enough to fill in the weight of seven or eight catties, Sun Shaozong wiped his face with the silk silk on the side, and got up respectfully and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty for the banquet." ”

Emperor Guangde above was obviously stunned, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "Aiqing has eaten enough." ”

"Eighty percent full."

Sun Shaozong replied honestly: "If you eat too much for lunch, it is easy to make mistakes. ”

Someone in the next room burst out laughing, but it quickly relented.

And Emperor Guangde was speechless for a long time, Fang sighed: "Every time I read the statement that the ancient fierce generals can 'eat rice and ten catties of meat', I think it is an exaggeration by later generations. ”

While speaking, Dai Quan had already instructed the palace people to remove the remnant seat.

"Sun Aiqing."

At this time, Emperor Guangde's face gradually became solemn, and he said: "Do you know what happened when I summoned you into the palace?" ”

Sun Shaozong thought he knew before, but after hearing this, he was a little uncertain.

If it's for the sake of the White Lotus Sect, you don't have to take the school exam yourself at all, right?

Could it be ......

Is it for the rebellion of the Huguang Wuxi barbarians?

After hearing about this matter from Xue Pan's mouth a few days ago, Sun Shaozong inquired about the relationship and found that sure enough, someone in the court recommended him to go to Huguang to quell the rebellion of the Wuxi barbarians.

However, given Sun Shaozong's age and qualifications, the recommender only listed him as one of the candidates for 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 of Zhenhuguang as a deputy.

But now Emperor Guangde personally summoned him, it won't be just for a deputy position, right?

Could it be ......

I have the opportunity to go out of Zhenhuguang alone?!

Sun Shaozong does not lack merit and reputation at the moment, what he lacks is the word 'qualifications', and going out of Zhenhuguang alone to quell the rebellion, and even preside over the follow-up pacification work, is definitely a great opportunity to brush up on qualifications!

As long as this errand can be done safely, who can suppress themselves with 'young knowledge' in the future?

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong's heart couldn't help but be a little excited, but he said loudly: "The minister doesn't dare to judge the holy will. ”

Emperor Guangde waved his hand and said: "Since I asked you to guess, if you have anything to think of in vain, just say it." ”

"This ......"

Sun Shaozong hesitated slightly, and then said aloud: "The minister has the audacity to speculate, isn't it for the southwest that His Majesty summoned the minister?" ”

"Something about the Southwest?"

Who knew that Emperor Guangde was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Worst!

I guessed wrong!

When Sun Shaozong saw this expression, he knew that he was oolong, and he was thinking about how to remedy it, but he heard Emperor Guangde ask: "If I send you to Huguang to quell the chaos, how are you going to act?" And how much money does the imperial court need to allocate for food, soldiers and horses? ”

In fact, Emperor Guangde came to Sun Shaozong today to talk about the 'prince'.

However, he did want to take Sun Shaozong as his deputy to assist the senior officials in quelling the Huguang rebellion, so when he heard Sun Shaozong take the initiative to mention this matter, he asked in passing.

And Emperor Guangde's question aroused Sun Shaozong's ambition, and secretly said that this opportunity is fleeting, if you don't try to grasp it, wouldn't it be too late to regret it?

So he gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "If Your Majesty sends a minister to Huguang, there is no need for the imperial court to allocate money, food, soldiers and horses, as long as Enzhun Weichen has the word 'barbarian'." ”

Emperor Guangde was really surprised when he heard this, and several of the courtiers who originally belonged to him advocated direct appeasement, and advocated suppressing first and then appeasing, and some advocated appeasement first, and then divided and suppressed.

But no matter what kind of strategy, you have to use money, food, soldiers and horses as bargaining chips, like Sun Shaozong, who clearly said that he didn't want money, food, soldiers and horses, as long as there was a word 'barbaric', but it was unique.

So he hurriedly asked: "But I don't know the word 'barbarian' of Aiqing, what is the explanation?" ”
