Chapter 1279 Please Punish

On the way back, Shen Hao was in a happy mood. He even self-deprecatingly reflected a lot, obviously a simple matter was complicated by himself. If it weren't for the two masters who hit the nail on the head, he might really get into the corner of the horns and don't know how long it will take to get out.

Bai Changqing is not a bad person, nor should he be treated maliciously, let alone a matter of killing him.

How should we deal with it later?

The reason was Heishui's mistake that made the whole thing complicated, including changing the target of becoming the left prime minister from Bai Changqing to Cao Guobang, which was a chain reaction caused by this mistake.

Whose fault is this? It was Wang Jian's fault, and it was also Shen Hao's own fault.

Since it is a fault, you can't always try to cover it up, but find a way to ease or solve it. At the same time, we should face the impact of this mistake calmly.

It's like the fifty army sticks that Wang Jian suffered, his buttocks were bloody, and even with trauma plasters, he couldn't get out of bed for at least three or two days. This is the price Wang Jian paid for his carelessness and the consequences he borne. Presumably he will never let the same mistake happen again in the future.

Now that Shen Hao's entanglement is gone, he also has to face the price he should bear and solve the tail of the matter.

"My lord, are we going back to the house?"

"No, enter the palace."

The carriage traveled all the way from Fenghong Villa back to the imperial city, and the guards on the carriage asked where they were going. Then go straight along Junhou Street all the way to the south gate of the Imperial Palace.

"The leader of the Black Flag Battalion, Shen Hao, has something to see His Majesty, please inform him."

Shen Hao got out of the car thirty feet before the palace gate and walked over, stopped at the first checkpoint, took out his waist badge, and handed over his waist badge while identifying himself.

After the guard verified his identity, he led Shen Hao into the outer wall of the palace gate, and arranged for him to wait in a small tea room.

After waiting for about half an hour, an eunuch came, who was also an acquaintance. This was the emperor's servant, and he came out to meet Shen Hao almost every time. To reveal a little about the emperor's mood that day, so that Shen Hao can prepare in advance. Of course, Shen Hao also reciprocated, either the golden ticket or the elixir, and the generosity of the shot would definitely not let this one lose hope.

"Master Shen, Your Majesty has allowed you to have an audience, so come with me."

"It's time to work."

With a guide, the guards let them go. There are still several hurdles to pass, Shen Hao is also familiar with the road, and finally arrives in front of the Fu'an Palace.

"Master Shen, wait a moment."

The eunuch went in to report, and then came out quickly, leading Shen Hao into the gate of Fu'an Palace.

I saw the emperor still in the side hall last time, and I could still feel the strong smell of sulphurous stones in Fu'an Palace along the way, as well as the damp heat from the warm soup.

Shen Hao secretly thought: The hot spring may also be accompanied by sulfonic essence, maybe there is one here? Is it also the reason why the emperors of all dynasties like to stay in Fu'an Palace?

"Chen Shen Hao sees His Majesty!"

After paying homage to worship, his head was stuck on the ground but he didn't hear the emperor let him get up for a long time. Shen Hao's heart skipped a beat. Although he has a new layer of entanglement with the emperor now, even the relationship is absolutely secret, but how can the existence of the emperor be conjectured by common sense? What's more, Yang Shu is still an emperor with a strange personality.

After a long time, the emperor's voice sounded, with some jokes, he said: "Evil spirits are breaking out frequently in various places, and casualties are increasing day by day. Although the method proposed by your Black Flag Camp is useful, it is still too slow to take effect. Do you know the reason?"

Shen Hao breathed a sigh of relief, it was normal for the emperor to have some opinions on him because of the evil things in various places. So he quickly replied: "Returning to Your Majesty, there are two main reasons. First, the movement of the evil cultivators has become bigger, and the evil attacks they have created are more frequent and scattered, deliberately putting pressure on us. Second, the main forces dealing with evil There is still a shortage of manpower, and there will be no obvious improvement until at least the middle and late November."

Although all places have raised their vigilance against evil attacks to the highest level, the facts have proved that it is impossible to guard every piece of land in the huge Jingjiu Dynasty, and there will always be some weak places that become the targets of evil cultivators. In addition, there is indeed a shortage of manpower, so the current situation has not improved significantly, but has become worse because of the more active monks from the evil sect.

"Gaiguan? Are you referring to the death row prisoners you delineated?" The emperor waved his hand, motioning for Shen Hao to get up, and then suddenly handed over a sentence.

Hearing this, Shen Hao understood that the "death prisoners" the emperor asked were those surviving recipients who participated in the Hongsha imitation related plan.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Now various places are training them, and the task can be carried out in mid-November at the earliest. By then, the frontline combat power in various places will be greatly improved, and the rampant momentum of evil monks can be curbed positively. "

"Don't you feel that you are too cautious about these death row prisoners? Since it is effective, why not be more confident?" The emperor's tone was clearly dissatisfied.

Only then did Shen Hao suddenly realize that the source of the dissatisfaction expressed by the emperor lies here! The ineffective handling of the evil disaster was the result, but the cause was attributed by the emperor to the use of those "dead prisoners" or "red evil spirits".

This. Shen Hao has to explain it carefully. So he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the growth period of those condemned prisoners will take at least a month, and there are indeed many uncertainties in the "Red Sha" imitation, and the use of batches is also to allow room for reaction, so as not to be caught off guard in case of accidents.

In the end, I still insisted that the "Red Sha" elixir is too evil, and there must be a terrible price behind the heaven-defying effect. If you don't figure out the mystery, you can't relax your vigilance for a day. "

It is well-founded, and the emperor has no way to criticize.

But Shen Hao could clearly see that the emperor's attention to Hongsha and the progress of his research were weird. Did the emperor simply hope that Hongsha would be understood and promoted by more recipients? Or some other purpose?

After taking a sip of tea, the emperor skipped Hongsha's question and asked Shen Hao why he came. It stands to reason that although Shen Hao has the privilege to enter the palace directly, he usually goes to report to Pang Ban first, and then Pang Ban reports back. From this, the emperor could see that Shen Hao was abiding by the upper and lower rules. Since I came here directly this time, I'm afraid there is something special, right?

Before the emperor put down the teacup in his hand, Shen Hao knelt down on the ground again.

"Um?"

"Your Majesty, I am here to plead guilty to His Majesty. There is a mistake in the Black Water under the gate of the Black Flag Camp. Please punish me." Shen Hao explained the purpose of his visit with a normal expression.

He was worried about being blackmailed by Bai Changqing before, but the main problem was that Shen Hao wanted to avoid punishment and tried to hide it from the emperor, so he was naturally worried about being exposed by Bai Changqing. And after the stalemate was formed, he was worried that if he tried to seal his mouth, he would annoy the emperor to retaliate against him, so he was also hesitant.

Now after being enlightened by the two masters, Shen Hao's heart is suddenly enlightened.

There are so many entanglements because of worrying about being punished. Now that I ask for punishment, everything becomes simpler and easier.
