Chapter 245: The Ancient Temple
Lao Cao continued with a smile: "You see, now that the situation is very clear, why does His Highness dare to do something to the command room of the political envoy of a province and the envoy of the government, isn't it because the Holy Lord nodded?" ”
"At this time, there are two ways in front of you adults, one is to continue to stand with them and wait to be beheaded, and the other is to seize the time to make up for it."
"You have more or less violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but the Holy Grace, you people's mistakes will not be committed again after the mistakes have passed, and the Holy Lord, the Imperial Court and His Royal Highness will not be held accountable."
In fact, Zhu Song had already sent Jinyi Wei to check all the officials in Zhejiang, and he had to find out what underwear they were wearing that day.
This Sun Shuhai eats empty salaries, embezzles land and property, and connives, and connives, these things are big things in the eyes of the people and soldiers, and they are trivial matters when they are put on the official level of the political envoy.
If it were ordinary, Zhu Song would never allow such a person to continue to get away with it, but there is no way, now the situation in the court is unstable, and several big officials in Zhejiang have been pulled, and the remaining minor officials will not move if they can, otherwise I am afraid that there will really be problems.
When Sun Shuhai heard Cao Qinghe say this, he was relieved.
"The lower official promises that he will not do anything that violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and if he commits it again, he will ask His Highness to clean me up."
Lao Cao nodded with satisfaction.
"That's right, my Royal Highness is not a mistaken person with your words, but you still didn't promise me, when the imperial court soldiers and horses arrive, are you willing to take the initiative to replace all the officers and soldiers in your hands with ours?"
Sun Shuhai was a little puzzled.
"Master Cao, are you worried about me?"
Lao Cao laughed.
"How so? Although you violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but a few years ago, when the Japanese invaded, you performed very well as the commander of the Zhejiang Guard, which is not only affirmed by His Royal Highness, but even the current saint is also admiring you. ”
"The change of troops and horses is still because His Royal Highness is precious, you understand current affairs, but the whole city of Hangzhou may not all be smart people, and you can't afford to take this risk, in case Your Highness encounters something, then Your Majesty will be thunderous and angry, I'm afraid that you and I can't afford to be guilty!"
Sun Shuhai heard that this was indeed the case, King Han's identity is precious and scary, the younger brother of the current emperor, Jing Nan, the first hero, is casual in this identity, and dozens of people can be killed by spitting on the ground casually.
"If that's the case, then you really shouldn't take the risk, if that's the case, I understand, if the manpower arrives, you tell me, I won't let the outside guard barracks pick people to come in to defend the city, and directly let the brothers who came into the city and replace the people."
Lao Cao clapped his hands after hearing this.
"That's right, Lao Sun, Your Highness and Your Majesty are so optimistic about you, this is your blessing, the army sent by the imperial court will arrive tonight, and when the soldiers defending the city are exchanged in the morning, I hope that the people of the imperial court can be arranged in the city."
Sun Shuhai was stunned when he heard this, it turned out that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court had already arrived tonight, no wonder Lord Cao was so anxious to express his position.
However, it is also understandable that if he said from the beginning that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were outside the city, he was afraid that he would not agree so easily, but would be alert.
But now he still has some uncertainty in his heart.
"Lord Cao, can you guarantee that I won't be settled by the Autumn Queen? The companion is like a half-tiger, and there are too many things that have happened in history to settle accounts after the autumn. ”
Lao Cao looked at him with a smile: "Don't worry about Lord Sun, Cao doesn't dare to guarantee you in the future, but you will definitely not be counted this time, you think about the need for stability in the imperial court now, if it weren't for them going too far this time, My Royal Highness would not report it to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty would not be angry and want Your Royal Highness to severely punish these officials." ”
"Lord Sun's affairs can be big or small, you have made meritorious contributions by replacing all the defenders in the city with people trusted by His Highness this time, how can you still settle accounts with you?"
"Besides, Lord Sun, Cao has no other meaning, Lord Sun's level is really not enough for His Highness to settle accounts after the autumn, and the little things you committed are not enough for Jinyi Wei to do."
This person is like this, sometimes he can feel at ease by listening to the truth that he doesn't like to hear, Sun Shuhai is like this, after listening to Cao Qinghe's words, he completely put his mind at ease, thinking that he is just a small character, a small shrimp, and people don't have the heart to find trouble for themselves.
Lao Cao saw that his expression relaxed, so he took out a token from his arms.
The token had the word King Han written on it.
"Before changing the guard this morning, I hope that this matter can be done safely, as long as all the officers and soldiers defending the city can be replaced by His Royal Highness's men and horses tomorrow, Lord Sun, your task will be successfully completed, and even if a hole is poked out of the sky in Hangzhou at that time, you will definitely not find your trouble."
Sun Shuhai took this token with both hands, took it in his hand and groped carefully, don't you say that it is the token of His Royal Highness the Prince, this token feels quite good to the touch, heavy, but not too heavy.
"Please rest assured, Lord Cao, Xia Guan will definitely arrange everything!"
Cao Qinghe nodded with satisfaction, then raised the wine glass, Sun Shuhai also hurriedly held the wine glass with both hands, the two touched it, and drank it all.
……
Under Sun Shuhai's operation, a brocade guard quickly left Hangzhou City and rode all the way to the ancient temple mentioned by Wu Qian's concubine.
This time it was none other than Chen Zheng who personally led the team.
When the brocade guards reached the foot of the mountain, they stopped their horses and walked up on foot.
The moon hung brightly above the night, like a round of discs, at this time it was about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, under the background of the moonlight, the whole world was sprinkled with a layer of silver light, and the flying fish suit on the Jinyi Wei was shining with a little silver light under the illumination of the moonlight.
Chen Zheng took the lead in the front, gently pushed the door of the temple, and found that the door was already tied inside, he stretched out his hand, and immediately a brocade guard jumped up to the wall and jumped to the temple.
A moment later, the door of the temple was opened, and Chen Zheng held a bow and arrow in his hand, and the other hand was always on the quiver at his waist, and his steps were strong and determined to walk inside.
And at this time, the old monk of the temple and the presiding officer Yuandu came out to relieve his hands, just opened the door, and saw the Jinyi Guard standing all over the courtyard, the wall and the commanding heights as far as the eye can see, there are Jinyi Guards.
Yuandu looked neither sad nor happy after seeing this picture, and his hands naturally drooped, as if he had expected today.
