Detective in the Red Chamber

Not to mention that there are tens of thousands of savages in that mountain, just snakes, insects, rats and ants are enough for a person to drink a pot.

"Big brother."

Sun Shaozong said helplessly, "I have issued a military order in front of His Majesty, do you still dare to go back on my word? Besides, you are not ignorant of the current situation in the capital. I will only be tied to the crown prince if I stay. Our brothers are about to stand aside."

"That won't work either!"

Sun Shaozu sat back on the chair, only to smash the nanmu grand teacher's chair, and said violently, "At worst, I will go to the road and go to the south for you! Anyway, I have been in the army for more than ten years. Could it be worse than you, a recruit?!"

If the army sweeps away, Sun Shaozong may not be able to compare with his elder brother.

But right now the imperial court obviously didn't want to spend too much soldiers, horses, food and grass. After all, compared with the six kingdoms in southern Xinjiang, the Wuxi barbarians who retreated to the mountains after a wave of robbing could only be regarded as scabies at best.

But looking at the big brother's cockfighting appearance, Sun Shaozong didn't want to argue with him, he just smiled and said, "If my brother loves me, I can help prepare some handy weapons and armor, so that I won't accidentally get a cold arrow... "

"Bah, bah, bah, Tong Yan Wuji is blown away by the strong wind!"

Sun Shaozu spat a few times, and said solemnly, "When our father attacked Koryo, he killed Tong Tou among hundreds of thousands of rebellious troops. You just went to fight a few mountain barbarians, so what danger can you have? !"

"So Big Brother agrees..."

"I don't agree!"

Sun Shaozu curled his mouth domineeringly, but then said again, "But you really should buy two sets of armor - Armor Island is okay, just use mine to change it, as for the weapon, you Any ideas?"

When Sun Shaozong talked about the idea of ​​adding Weng Jinhammer to the mace, the eldest brother thought about it for a while, and said that he had taken care of it, and he was sure to let the general supervisor drive it out.

"correct."

After thinking for a while, he explained again, "If the mountain is not very humid, you might as well bring some new Zhentianlei made by the Gunpowder Bureau. I heard that the craftsmanship has been improved, and the size is much smaller than the previous ones--it's a pity that they haven't been matched yet." Sending it to the Shenji Camp, I don’t know how true or false this bragging is.”

Naturally, grenades have been around for a long time these days, but due to the limitation of craftsmanship, their power is not very powerful, but their size is not small, so they are generally used for city defense.

According to Brother Cheap, there should be a breakthrough in the production process, and I don’t know how powerful it can be with modern grenades. Every barbarian I know is enough.

So Sun Shaozong wrote down this matter first, and planned to go to Jia Shanyao to inspect the goods in a few days.

Afterwards, the two brothers had dinner in this study.

During this period, Sun Shaozu babbled a lot of tricks for marching and fighting, but bit him to death because he disagreed with Sun Shaozong's going to Huguang to suppress the rebellion.

So after drinking and eating, he hurriedly found an excuse and went back to his small courtyard.

Under the hazy moonlight, as soon as he walked to the gate of the small courtyard, someone bumped into him from inside, but who else could it be if it wasn't Qingwen?

Seeing that she was carrying a food box in her hand, Sun Shaozong pondered for a while, then suddenly said, "Are you going to deliver food to Caixia?"

Qingwen nodded, clutching the food box tightly, looking a little cramped.

"You are really a long-term lover."

Sun Shaozong left such a sentence with a pun, and entered the courtyard on his own - he had no shortage of women around him, so naturally he would not rush to force a maid.

On the other hand, Qingwen looked back at his receding back, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Chapter 553

In the morning of late autumn, it was bleak and deserted.

But lying in the steaming hot tub and looking out of the window, breathing in the cold and fresh air, it is not a pleasant feeling.

Closing his eyes to feel the warmth brought by the rising sun, Sun Shaozong stretched his arms comfortably, but suddenly touched something fluffy.

Subconsciously swipe and pull with his hand, feeling the small outline, he couldn't help laughing, turned over and poked his head out to look down, and sure enough, he saw his son holding the bathtub, looking up with his head up.

"Clap!"

Seeing Sun Shaozong poking his head to look at him, the little guy immediately grinned open to reveal six white deciduous teeth, his big dark eyes widened, and he patted his chubby little hand on the tub.

Although he developed faster than other children, but he is only a toddler now, how can he stand up to this mess of claws and claws?

After taking two shots, he was shocked by the reaction force and fell to his buttocks squatting.

Even though the nanny acted in time to prevent him from falling all over the place, the little brat was still yelling and crying like a cloud cracked a stone.

This stabbed a hornet's nest, and it was heard that there was a turmoil outside. Ruan Rong led the way, followed by Xiangling, Second Sister You, and a few maids, all of whom made a fuss and rushed into the room, surrounding the child tightly. .

The little bastard was quite eager to perform. Originally, the crying had already weakened. Seeing so many people coming, he immediately raised his voice a few degrees, as if he wanted to lift the roof.

got~

There is no way to wash this bath again.

He took the towel from the hanger next to him, and Sun Shaozong said helplessly, "Look at you guys who were surprised and didn't really bump into each other. Go, go, hug it outside and coax it. Bring the official robes of the Dragon Guards to the Lord."

The head of the family spoke, and except for Pomegranate who had other errands, everyone hurriedly surrounded Ruan Rong's mother and son to the outside room.

After Sun Shaozong finished washing and changed into his official robes, his son was already outside happily 'quacking' and laughing, and when he saw him, he even clamored to hold him up high.

After coaxing the child for a while, I ate [-] shortbreads with butter and dregs, and drank two bowls of white fungus, wolfberry and eight-treasure porridge with three cold, six hot and nine dishes.

After rubbing his belly, he was barely full, so Sun Shaozong was ready to leave for Beizhen Fusi to see what new progress had been made.

Of course, the most important thing is to wait for the opportunity to 'slander' Prince Shangyi Zhong.

tsk~

Both sides are time-travelers, is this a typical case of "a fellow countryman meets a fellow countryman, get shot in the back"?

Thinking of these things, he arrived in the front yard, and was considering whether to ride a car or a horse today, Zhao Zhongji hurriedly looked for him, and reported that Jia Yucun had sent someone to ask Sun Shaozong to come to the house around nine o'clock in the morning The government discusses matters.

Could it be that there is another notice from above?

Sun Shaozong took out his pocket watch and saw that it was already [-] o'clock in the morning, and he had to go to Beizhen Fusi first, and the schedule was too rushed.

It's better to go directly to Shuntian Mansion and talk about it after the meeting of the Standing Committee.

Speechless all the way.

He rushed to the government office in a hurry, and there was about a quarter of an hour before the meeting, so Sun Shaozong went to the Criminal Department to rest.

When he entered the main hall and saw Sun Chengye crouching over his desk reviewing official documents, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't mentioned to this nephew about his upcoming release.

"cough."

Clearing his throat before the official case, Sun Chengye looked up and saw that it was Sun Shaozong, hurriedly got up to salute, and then inquired, "Uncle Thirteen is here today to discuss this year's autumn flood?"

Autumn flood?

It won't be flooding again, will it? !

You haven't heard the wind these days, have you? !

Sun Shaozong hurriedly pulled him to ask a few questions, but it turned out that the upper reaches of the Yongding River had been raining heavily for several days. Although the water level had just crossed the warning line, after the flood two years ago, how could the court dare to neglect it?

Hence the emergency meeting.

Seeing that it was nothing more than a shadow of a bow and a snake, Sun Shaozong breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said that he wanted to be released outside after a few days, and then said, "You have been in the government office for more than half a year, and you have experienced a lot of experience. After I resign from office, I might as well make up for the homework I owe, so as not to have more courage but less knowledge."

Sun Chengye's stay in the capital was originally to prepare for the exam, this master's errand was just to sharpen his mind, so naturally there was nothing to miss.

However, the sudden incident caught him by surprise, and he was stunned for a while before thinking of asking Sun Shaozong why he wanted to be released.

It was not easy for Sun Shaozong to argue with him carefully. The deep-seated reason behind this was that the court had chosen him and was going to send him out of the town to protect the environment and the people.

Just as I was talking, I heard someone outside interjected, "So, the fact that my brother is going to Huguang is not groundless?"

Before the words fell, Jia Yucun came in in a red official robe, and said helplessly, "Originally, I was a little powerless to support this huge stall, and I was all pointing at my brother to help me solve my problems. Abandoned me and left."

hehe~

Sun Shaozong didn't believe a word of what the old fox said.

After bowing hands with him to salute first, he then let his arms in and invited the old fox into the room to talk.

After entering inside, Jia Yucun was still sighing, but Sun Shaozong, who was about to get out of Shuntian Mansion, didn't bother to put on airs with him, and said straight to the point, "Brother, I will leave sooner or later, let's just not say it in front of the real person." Lies——Your elder brother is afraid that I wish I could go south as soon as possible, right?"

Once Sun Shaozong went south to suppress the rebellion, Jia Yucun was the only one left among the three giants in Shuntian Prefecture. In order to maintain the stability of the capital, the imperial court might have to rely more on him.

Therefore, if Sun Shaozong stayed in Shuntian Mansion, Jia Yucun had a [-]% chance of being promoted to governor, and if Sun Shaozong left, it would at least soar to about [-]%.

Don't underestimate the [-]% gap. For an official fan like Jia Yucun, increasing the chance of promotion by [-]% is enough for him to take risks.

But after hearing what Sun Shaozong said, Jia Yucun first showed some surprise, and opened his mouth to explain a few words, but seeing Sun Shaozong's burning eyes, the words that reached the throat suddenly turned into a hearty laugh.

Then he pointed at Sun Shaozong and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, little brother—yes, right now, I look forward to your departure from Beijing, brother, just like looking forward to rain after a long drought. I just wish I could say goodbye to you today."

As he said that, he bowed seriously and said seriously, "I wish my brother a prosperous future and great success."

This really meant a farewell, and Sun Shaozong also returned the salute with a straight face, "Brother He has been promoted to a noble and honored to be in the hall."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes were filled with the word 'confidant', as if Boya met his son - but if you want to study their relationship carefully, it is just a portrayal of 'people's hearts are separated from each other'.

Chapter 554

The old fox's mentality is a little fluttering.

Coming out of the neiya meeting hall, he watched Jia Yucun drift away surrounded by everyone, but Sun Shaozong gave him an 'ominous omen' in his heart.

This time, Sun Shaozong took the initiative to ask to go, and while pushing Jia Yucun to the throne of Fu Yin, it also made him completely lose his check and balance.

And according to the strategy and strategy that this old fox usually displays, even if the Fucheng and Zhizhong are transferred later, it may be difficult to compete with him in a short time.

On the surface alone, Jia Yucun seems to be in good shape.

But as the saying goes, "misfortune depends on fortune, and fortune rests on misfortune"!

In the past year or so, the old fox has used the influence of the Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family to make connections in the capital and win over many dignitaries.

Although this helped him ascend to the throne of Fu Yin a lot—but those rich and powerful people are mostly masters who eat people and don't spit out their bones, so how can they be willing to do favors for him for nothing?

Once Jia Yucun ascended to the throne of Fu Yin and had unambiguous authority in Shuntian Mansion, it was estimated that it would be time for him to 'pay off his debts'.

If Jia Yucun could maintain his usual caution, he wouldn't be coerced by those people. I'm afraid that he would forget the taboos and fears of being a minister and go beyond the boundaries of convention and custom.

Today, his various performances at the meeting seem to have signs of this.

If you can't introspect yourself as soon as possible, you may be in great trouble in the future.

Of course, Sun Shaozong would not tell the truth if he saw it through, and even wished that the old fox would quickly fall from power.

However, this matter has some warning effect for him.

Have you been a little drifting lately?

For example, when it comes to having an affair with Youshi, when he first came to Beijing, he was determined not to take any risks.

Thinking about it this way, it really is floating.

It seems that we must reflect on it in the future!

After making up his mind, Sun Shaozong went to the Department of Criminal Justice and ordered Lin Delu to go to the Zhaomo Institute of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to read the files of Miss You's case - the preparations before this day are also considered important.

The official and private matters were all handled properly, so Sun Shaozong naturally wouldn't stay in the Criminal Department for a long time, so he casually reminded Sun Chengye a few words, telling him to call Yu Qian to go to his house for a reunion on the day of Jiujiu Chongyang, and then left the government office in a hurry.

Speechless all the way.

But he said that Sun Shaozong had just arrived in front of Beizhen Fusi's gate, and before he got off his horse, he saw Lu Hui come out in a hurry.

He bumped into Sun Shaozong head-on, and he raised his voice and said, "Sun Qianhu came just in time. I'm going to the palace to ask Eunuch Dai, so you can come with me."

Go to the palace to see Eunuch Dai?

Sun Shaozong's heart moved, he hurriedly got off his horse and approached him, and asked in a low voice, "But what important secret has someone confessed?"

"Let's talk on the road."

Instead, Lu Hui got on his horse, swung his whip and rushed out.

Sun Shaozong had no choice but to get back on his horse, galloped up to meet him, and walked side by side with Lu Hui.

However, where is the place to discuss military affairs in this street?

Therefore, it was not until he entered the palace from Xuanwu Gate that Sun Shaozong heard Lu Hui explain the cause and effect of this report.

After listening, he couldn't help being speechless for a while.

What to say?

This week's No. [-] blame man really deserves his reputation!

Before Sun Shaozong could make side attacks, Zang Liang couldn't bear the punishment, so he took the initiative to blame Prince Yizhong.

Niang Xipi's!
