In the room, Jin Kan kept pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, and his mouth was full of words, completely showing strong dissatisfaction and uneasiness.

As an official sent by the imperial court to Youzhou to deliver the decree, he never dreamed that he would be semi-house arrest in this small mansion, which was completely different from the situation he had thought of before to show off his military might and take the opportunity to squeeze oil and water out of the local officials and generals.

Jin Kan originally thought that with his identity as the commander of the military department and the angel Qincha, after arriving in the north, everyone would be stammered, and he didn't need to say anything if he wanted any benefits. But as a result, after arriving in Youzhou, those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals didn't take him seriously at all, not only arranged him in such an inconspicuous house at will, but also dismantled and guarded the thousands of guards who came with him to the north, and he, the messenger, was also left here for a few days, and no one cared about it.

When Jin Kan asked to see Sun Tu, the soldiers guarding the surroundings only said that the general had gone out of the city to hunt a few days earlier, and was not in Youzhou City at all. And when he asked to see Tong Guan again, the answer was even more straightforward, saying that the other party was sick and did not see outsiders. In the end, he couldn't even get out of the courtyard gate, and the reason given by those guards was even more ridiculous, saying that it was to ensure the safety of Qincha, because there were Liao remnants in Youzhou City who had recently rioted!

No matter how naïve Jin Kan was, it was impossible for him to believe such nonsense, and it was only now that he finally understood why some of his colleagues showed a look of wanting to say nothing when they sent him on the road on the day he left Beijing. Obviously, these people know how deep the water is in the north and how bold Sun Tu is, and they are very worried about his safety.

"How's that for good? Could it be that Sun Tuzhen dared to risk the world's disapproval and do such a thing...... "Several days of semi-house arrest made Jin Kan more and more frightened, and he was on the verge of collapse. He even thought about walking out with the holy decree like this, and saw that those Qiu Ba dared not stop him, but after seeing those soldiers outside the door with armor and swords, swords and guns, and murderous spirit, he still couldn't muster the slightest courage. After all, he still wants to save his life.

At noon, the door was pushed open. Jin Kan only thought that he was the next person who delivered the food, and he didn't look there, so he shouted loudly: "You pass the word to them, if you don't let me see Sun Tu again, and you refuse to give me an explanation, this official will go on a hunger strike from today, I want to see if you can afford such a big crime!" ”

When he finished speaking, the person standing outside the room smiled a little playfully: "Qin is serious, I really don't dare to take it." No, now I have come to ask you to meet you on the orders of General Sun. ”

"Huh?" These words made Jin Kan stunned, only to find that standing in front of the door was a young general in armor, and while speaking, he also made a gesture of invitation to the outside. This made Jin Kan feel a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect that the determination he had finally come up with would not be used at all, as if he had thrown a punch with all his strength into the air, which was really uncomfortable.

But after thinking about it, since Sun Tu had agreed to see him, this was somewhat good news, so he quickly gathered his spirits, puffed up his chest and said: "You wait outside, let the official change his clothes first, and then go to see Sun Tu." ”

The general smiled in response, and then helped him close the door again. After a meal, Jin Qincha, who was dressed properly, walked out of this small courtyard under the escort of dozens of military generals, and went along the rather lively long street to the former Liao State Southern Courtyard King's Mansion a few miles away, and now the Youzhou Military and Political Yamen.

At this time, the people of Youzhou have returned to their previous peaceful life, whether it is in the fields outside the city, or in the shops of that family, there are all people busy inside, and the pedestrians on the street also show a comfortable smile. From this point alone, it can be seen that the Song army that captured Youzhou did not do anything to harm the people in the city, but ensured the stability and safety of everyone, and also won the recognition and support of most of the people in the city.

In fact, although this Youzhou has been a hundred years of Liaoguo Nanjing, in fact, the Khitan people in the city are a minority, and eighty percent of the people are still Han. Even if they have long lost the thought of their homeland, they will not really die to the Liao people, and they will fight hard after the fall of the city, and fight to the death with the Song army.

After all, for ordinary people, it doesn't matter who is the ruler, the most important thing is to ensure that their lives are too peaceful. Compared with the exploitation and oppression of those Khitan nobles against them, the Song army now looks kinder, which makes the people have a good impression of the Song army. Coupled with a series of Huairou policies issued by Sun Tu later, the Song army also allocated food and clothing from the Liao people's treasury to the poor people in the city, and this Song army won the hearts of the people here and was completely recognized by everyone.

Therefore, at this time, Youzhou City almost couldn't see that it had just undergone a huge change, and everything was developing in the direction of stability and unity. It's just that when all this fell into Jin Kan's eyes, it made him complain and slander more, didn't he say that he was put under house arrest to ensure safety, and that there were remnants of Liao people in the city who were in rebellion? Why is it that looking at it now, there is no chaos in this Youzhou city?

Of course, he could only think about these words in his heart, but he didn't dare to say them in front of all the soldiers. And when he really entered this large-scale mansion of the former Southern Courtyard King, the worry in his heart became more and more intense. Just looking at this posture, Sun Tu has already made a big mistake, will he really be subject to this holy decree?

If it had been a few days ago, he would have never believed that Sun Tu and his subordinates would dare to ignore the imperial court and not take his own Qincha in his eyes. But now, after experiencing this house arrest, Jin Kan is completely empty-hearted.

Soon, Jin Kan was brought into the main hall of the yamen, which was the original main hall of the palace. This is a huge temple that can accommodate two or three hundred people, behind a few high cases above, a general in his early thirties, dignified appearance, and sharp eyes is sitting upright, and on both sides below it, there are dozens of armor-piercing swords, horizontal eyebrows, he has just arrived at the door, countless pairs of eyes have looked over, so that he feels the unprecedented pressure, even the footsteps have become slow, it took a long time to cross the high threshold, into the hall.

"You are the Imperial Court Qincha Jin Kan?" Sun Tu's voice immediately came from the top, and the loud and majestic voice shook Jin Kan's face again, which was a pressure he had never felt when he met the current official family, and he could only answer honestly at this time: "It is the lower official, I am here to deliver the decree on the order of His Majesty." As he spoke, he had raised the holy decree in his hand, and it seemed that only this action could make him feel more at ease.

Sun Tu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled again: "This is a little lazy, because he went out of the city to hunt two days ago, he could only be wronged by Qincha to stay in the city temporarily, and he was delayed for a while." Now that I have returned, please give me the decree. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and asked Jin Kan directly to hand over the holy decree.

This move made Jin Kan's heart shrink suddenly: "This ......"

In fact, the transmission of the holy decree at this time was not like that shown in many literary and artistic works in later generations, and the courtiers who had to receive the decree burned incense and bathed and then led the crowd to kneel down to listen to the decree, showing 120,000 points of respect for the imperial court. At least in this Great Song Dynasty, there was not so much attention, and the official could read the content in public, or he could directly hand over the decree to the other party and read it himself.

However, Sun Tu's careless attitude at the moment is still too rude, which is completely contempt for the holy decree, contempt for the prestige of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court. What made Jin Kan even more worried was that none of the dozens of Great Song generals present were surprised by Sun Tu's move, as if everyone except him took Sun Tu's move for granted.

"Jin Qincha!" Just when Jin Kan hesitated, Sun Tu spoke slowly: "Is there anything else to say?" ”

"General Sun, is it not in line with the etiquette that you just sit and receive the order? Please come down and take the order. Jin Kan mustered up the last bit of courage and said loudly: "In addition, this decree is very important, and this official thinks that it is better for me to read it in public......" At the moment when he was about to finish speaking, suddenly there was a flower in front of him, and there was a light in his hand, and the holy decree he was holding was snatched away by someone, and then a slightly sharp voice sounded: "Long-winded, let's see if we know what it says?" ”

"You ......" was caught off guard, Jin Kan didn't know how to react, and stared at the five-short general with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks in front of him with a frightened face, unable to speak for a long time. But Shi Qian, who snatched the holy decree from his hand, smiled, and immediately unfolded the holy decree lined with Shu brocade, quickly swept the dense words inside, and read in his mouth: "Under the door, there is a ...... today Oops, it's so verbose, I won't read the article here, skip it...... Hey, it's written here - now I know that although Sun Tu, the Marquis of Yue, occasionally made meritorious contributions in the battle with the Liao army, his merits did not offset the crimes he committed, and there were seven felonies-

"First, he killed Gao Yu, an important minister of the imperial court; Second, the improper use of troops caused serious losses to the forbidden army outside the Yanmen Pass; third, as a subordinate general, he rebelled and mutinied, and the coach Tong Guan was placed under house arrest; Fourth, killing innocents without permission, setting fire to Zhuozhou, killing good people and risking merit; fifth, colluding with the Liao people and setting up the enemy to flee north; Sixth, he reneged on the covenant and used troops against Jin, causing the court to lose its trust in the world; Seventh, without the permission of the imperial court, he leaked military aircraft, and spread the news at will, with ill intentions. All these seven items are serious crimes, which cannot be compensated by the merits they have made.

"However, the imperial court remembered that Sun Tu had made great contributions in the end, and there were other suspicious aspects of these seven crimes that still need to be investigated, so Sun Tu was ordered to immediately resign from all positions in the army, hand over military power, and go to Beijing to be tried, so as to ...... straightforwardly."
