As soon as Pang Ban arrived, he called the names of the four governors and governors, and the demands he made were enough to make people nervous.
The vigilance in various places has been raised to the highest level, and at the same time, people and goods entering and exiting the area must be strictly controlled together with the local garrisons, and there is even the temporary arbitrary power of "detention on suspicion". This is a situation that would never happen in normal times. Let’s not talk about it too far, isn’t it the responsibility of the local government to take care of people and goods? When was it the turn of Xuanqingwei and Weishu to intervene?
Everyone present, including Shen Hao, was shocked by Pang Ban's arrangement. Coupled with the urgent order from Hong Ling and the martial law imposed by the Imperial Guard on the way here, we all knew that something big must have happened.
After Pang Ban quickly explained the security matters in various places, he turned to look at Shen Hao, who was sitting at the end, and called out: "Shen Hao, how are you doing with Black Flag Camp? Maybe you can take on a heavy job?"
Pang Ban's words once again shocked everyone present, and Shen Hao suddenly understood in his heart that this must be the "big change" that Pang Ban had told him before.
How can you back down at a time like this? Besides, this was the opportunity that Shen Hao had been waiting for for many days.
So Shen Hao stood up straight and said in a loud voice: "The whole Black Flag Battalion has been cleaned up. We are confident and capable of completing all the tasks assigned by you!"
Pang Ban didn't say much, but directly ordered: "In this case, your Black Flag Battalion will directly take over the case of "Left Prime Minister Ye Lansheng intends to subvert the country and the dynasty's capital against the barbarians."
Ye Lansheng? Subvert the dynasty? Enemy barbarians?
Although there was the word "intention" in front of it, everyone here subconsciously ignored these two words. In a case that Xuan Qingwei can investigate, "intention" or "intention" is completely meaningless. When drawing conclusions, you will not see these two speculative words.
Everyone was surprised, but not horrified. Each of them is a big shot in the Xuanqing Guard, who has no sense of judgment? Ye Lansheng has been worried about disaster since His Majesty ascended the throne last year, but now it is not unexpected.
It's just that... such an important and major case was actually handed over by Pang Ban directly to the newly integrated Black Flag Battalion? !
To be honest, except for Jiang Cheng, the governor of Jingxi, the other three governors had some complaints about Pang Ban's decision. It's just that because of Pang Ban's majesty, he didn't dare to bring it up.
"Subordinates take orders!"
"Yes. That's all for now. Shen Hao will stay, and the others can go back and do their errands." Pang Ban waved his hand to end the short discussion.
It can be predicted that when the four governors returned and immediately issued relevant task requirements to various places and jointly implemented the garrison, the entire Jingjiu Dynasty would be in a tense situation.
I'm afraid it's much more tense than the previous battle with the barbarians outside the customs.
joke. During the battle against the barbarians, the knives were pointed outwards, and there was a barrier between them. Even if they knew that the soldiers in front were fighting hard, the people inside the barrier would not be too nervous. But starting from tonight, the knives Xuanqingwei showed were for internal use. If anyone was dishonest, Xuanqingwei would not be merciless when killing people.
The four governors left in a hurry, and Shen Hao was brought back to the public house by Pang Ban.
"This is the document that His Majesty urgently summoned us to issue at the Wanmin Palace tonight. Please take a look at it first." Pang Ban sat on the chair and took out a document from his storage bag and placed it on the table for Shen Hao to take a look at. .
The document contains a lot of content, running into hundreds of pages and tens of thousands of words. It was impossible for Shen Hao to read all of it, only the opening pages. Above are the thirty-seven articles of Ye Lansheng's attempt to subvert the state and the imperial court, which were jointly signed by Bai Changqing, the Minister of Household Affairs, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the right Minister of the Ministry of Rites, the right Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Wen Mingju, the Minister of the Ministry of War. A serious crime, as long as it is committed, Ye Lansheng can wipe out the three clans.
Moreover, Shen Hao also noticed that there was an eye-catching name at the top of the joint name. It was this person who wrote the eloquent report document with tens of thousands of words.
This person is Cao Guobang, the right prime minister!
Cao Guobang's status in the temple of the old Jing Dynasty has always been very embarrassing. Although he is a second-rank official like Zuo Xiang, it can be said to be the pinnacle of the official position that can be achieved under normal circumstances in the old Jing Dynasty. But although his rank is high, his position and power are not as good as those of the ministers of various ministries.
The power of being "prime minister" is all controlled by the left prime minister. Important matters cannot be interfered with at all, and unimportant matters do not require someone at his level to handle them.
Therefore, the position of right minister has always been regarded as a golden bench for "temporary retirement". Sitting in this position is equivalent to enjoying the highest standard of care in advance. I usually go on a business trip to drink tea. I come when I want to and don't go if I don't want to. No one cares.
So much so that Shen Hao only knew very little about the right prime minister.
But now it seems that the right prime minister, who is over 90 years old, is not in a "retirement" state, and his heart is still very lively. At least in Ye Lansheng's case, wasn't it the right minister who was openly supporting it?
"Now Ye Lansheng's Left Prime Minister's Mansion has been controlled by the Forbidden Army, and his family's business, both overt and covert, has also been controlled. This is a case that His Majesty personally requested and took the lead in, and it is now in the hands of our Xuanqing Guards , I leave it to you again. This is because I have confidence in your ability, and at the same time, His Majesty is very optimistic about you and specifically mentioned your name.
Therefore, you must handle this case well, otherwise even if you are fine with me, you will not be able to explain to His Majesty. "
"I understand that I will do my best and will definitely disappoint you and Your Majesty!" Shen Hao answered resolutely, because at this point he no longer had the power to refuse.
Being called out by the emperor is not a good thing. On the surface, it seems that if something is done well, it will be a great achievement, and if it is done badly, it will be punished. But in fact, there are more than just these doorways. For example, if you do something well, the emperor will look at it and say, "Oh, this guy is very capable." From now on, he will ask you to do everything, and the tasks assigned will become more and more important. But everyone is likely to make mistakes. Once something goes wrong, it will be beheaded directly. Because the emperor will feel that you dare to betray his trust in you. Shouldn't you die?
So there is nothing reasonable about a creature like the emperor.
"As long as you know what's going on. This is an expedient document given by His Majesty to investigate and handle the matter. You should keep it just in case. In addition, you can also use this expedient document to find help from the Forbidden Army, but it cannot exceed a thousand people at most.
the last point. You have to investigate this case according to the Thirty-seven Crimes written by Right Prime Minister Cao Guobang. No matter what the outcome is, in addition to reporting the progress to me, you also need to report it to His Majesty. The palace will have said hello about this and someone will come to see you. "
This... Shen Hao was a little stunned. Check according to the right minister's documents? Do you have to report the progress directly to the emperor? This was also the first time he heard that there were such strange requirements for investigating a case.
