Chapter 473
Sun Dan laughed, and pressed Wang Gu on the chair: "Sit down, your leader Wang is also a big leader with [-] members, and he has a high local prestige. If you are in the northwest border area, a county can There are not as many people in your charge, and you, Chief Wang, can be regarded as a seventh-rank county magistrate. Moreover, you are responsible for the livelihood of so many people in the Cao Gang. The prosperity and stability of the local area is also due to your contribution From this point of view, you have also contributed to the imperial court."

Hearing Sun Dan's praise, Wang Gu was both excited and embarrassed, cupping his hands again and again, but couldn't speak.

Sun Dan was very satisfied with this Wang Gu in his heart. In fact, most of Fangshan Weaving's business depended on water transportation.As far as Fangshan's current business is concerned, Sun Dan is already interested in foreign trade.Much of the silk produced in Fangshan has to go south to Hangzhou along the Grand Canal, and then go overland to Quanzhou for export.Caobang also had contacts with Dutch businessmen.With the help of Cao Gang, this trade channel can be regarded as opened.

Moreover, as far as Sun Dan knew, Wang Gu had a good character and was a trustworthy person.

Last time in Huainan, he, Sun Dan, also saved Wang Gu's life.A man in the rivers and lakes, who receives the favor of a drop of water, should repay him with a spring.It can be said that Wang Gu's life now belongs to Mr. Sun.

Therefore, although Wang Gu knew Sun Damchi, he was considered one of the generals in Sun Damchi's family.

He came to the capital this time because of Sun Dan's instructions to let him come to the capital to sit in the capital and get through the shipping of the entire Grand Canal by the way.Prior to this, the power of the Cao Gang reached Hangzhou in the south and Jining in Shandong in the north.In other words, the shipping resources they mastered were limited to the Nanhe and Zhonghe of the Grand Canal.With Sun Dan here, the Cao Gang has taken over the shipping business of the entire Grand Canal.

In order to make it easier to walk on the scene, Sun Dan even came forward to get Wang Gangzhu an official status.Now, Wang Gu has a general title in the Beijing camp, and he can be regarded as a military officer of the seventh rank.

Although the martial arts of the seventh rank are not farts, but in the Jianghu, they can shock some people.

How could Sun Dan not make Wang Gu grateful for his support of the Cao Gang?Today's Cao Gang has deeply branded Sun Dan's name.

Wang Gu sat down, but he didn't dare to sit down, half of his buttocks were still hanging in the air.It's a pity that he can be regarded as the well-known leader of the big gang in the Jianghu. Like the knife standing behind him, he is so nervous that he is covered in sweat, and his clothes are soaked through.

After a few family members came in and served tea, Sun Dan looked at everyone strangely: "What's the matter, why are you all here today, but something big happened?" He also felt strange in his heart, but These years of experience have made him more calm, but on the surface he looks calm: "Han Yue, you are walking around the capital all day long. There are many people and you have sharp ears. Tell me."

"Yes." Han Yue sorted out her thoughts, and said with a calm face, "Master, something is wrong."

"Yes, it's not a big deal, no matter how big it is, it won't mess us up."

Han Yue nodded: "My lord, Han Yue has been running around in the capital these days, serving as my lord's eyes and ears. It's strange to say that during this period of time, the palace is strictly restricted, and eunuchs and maids are not allowed to go out for non-essential matters. "

Sun Dan: "I also know about this. One or two hundred officials are involved in the Hegong Wang Shu case. Most of these officials hold positions in the Six Ministries of the Two Beijings, and some even hold important positions. But if we want to thoroughly investigate them, we will be involved in a wide range of cases." , plus disciples and old officials, there are at least a thousand people. A little carelessness will cause a big turmoil. Therefore, it is understandable that the palace ban should be stricter to prevent leakage of information before the case is concluded."

Han Yue: "My lord is right. Because Han Yue was an official in the Beiya before and had contacts with her former colleagues, she paid attention when she saw the strict palace restrictions. But no matter how much she inquired, she couldn't find any news. Just this morning, Han Yue went to Beiya and chatted with some old colleagues for a long time, and then she came out. Feeling hungry, she planned to go to the restaurant to eat something casually. But she didn't want to, before entering the restaurant, she was caught by a person Hold on. Guess who I bumped into?"

"Who is it?" Sun Dan asked.

Han Yue: "The villain turned his head and saw that it was the Immortal Wang Li who was serving His Majesty in the palace. As soon as the Immortal Wang saw the villain, he said he wanted to buy me a drink, so he went upstairs to find an elegant and clean attic. Only then did he say that he had something important to report to you, Master, and that the matter was of great importance. He also knew that the villain would go to the Beiya every day, so he just waited here. No, it happened to be waiting."

Sun Dan frowned, and unconsciously asked: "What the hell is this Wang Li doing? It's not like he can't find him here, so why is he waiting for you at Beiya?" It was a shock.Maybe, something big is going to happen.

Han Yue listened to Sun Dan's question, and replied in a deep voice: "Master, because the matter is so important, there are so many spies waiting outside your house, Master. When Wang Shenxian came before him, the news was about to spread. Therefore, he Stop the villain from talking at the Beiya."

Sun Dan: "Say, what did Wang Li say?"

Han Yue: "My lord, something is wrong. Immortal Wang said that His Majesty has written an imperial decree, preparing His Majesty to go to Sichuan as governor. Also, Huang Jin will also be sent to Jiangnan for weaving."

Sun Dan was taken aback: "Is this true?" He felt a shock in his heart, and felt something was wrong.

"Wang Shenxian said that someone has already seen His Majesty's imperial pen, so it should not be fake." Han Yue said solemnly: "Besides, after coming down, the villain immediately found Miss Sun Jia, scattered a lot of money, and finally bought it. We have received the definite news. It is said that someone has already known about this personnel appointment. In a panic, the villain quickly gathered everyone together and rushed over to report to the master. Master, you should bring out a charter."

Sun Dan lowered his eyes to his feet, but there was a wave of ups and downs in his heart, and he didn't expect how things would turn out like this.No, I can’t go to Sichuan, and it’s under the current situation: “Then, I’m going to be a governor. Speaking of which, I can be regarded as a high-ranking person. Official, the emperor treats me really well!"

Sun Dan said that on purpose.

He continued to ask: "Do you think I should go to Sichuan?"

"Master, although Feng Zhen is a martial artist, he can see clearly. Master's Fangshan weaving, bank, and water transportation are all in the capital. This is your foundation. If you go to Sichuan now, you will lose all of these." Feng said the town.

"That's right, as soon as people leave, the tea will be cold, so you can't go there." Sun Jia also said.

Then Chen Rong tucked a volume of the "Diamond Sutra" into his sleeve, and said anxiously: "Jingyuan, you can't go, you go, if something happens to your empress, who can I talk to?"

Everyone was anxious and tried to dissuade Sun Dan at the same time.

"This matter is just what Wang Li said. Whether it is true or not is not yet true. Before we have definite news, we should wait." Sun Dan was a little confused, and he didn't expect things to turn out like this.Just now he was full of confidence and prepared to join the cabinet, but he didn't expect that the times would take a turn for the worse. Not only would he not be able to be a member of the cabinet, but he would be released. What is the problem?

He still can't make a decision until he finds the root cause of the problem.

Sun Dan's eyes still fell on his feet, and his heart was running at high speed.

Seeing Sun Dan thinking deeply, everyone quieted down and looked at Sun Dan calmly.Over the years, their fate has been completely attached to Sun Dan.It can be said that all prosperity, all losses.Although Sun Dan went to Sichuan to be regarded as a high promotion, but for some reason, not only did not all the people feel happy, but there was a deep worry.

At this time, a servant came to report: "Master, Master Zhang Cong is visiting."

"He's here?" Sun Dan was a little surprised, and said, "Please."

Zhang Cong looked flustered when he entered the room, and yelled as soon as he entered the door: "Jingyuan, Jingyuan, what are you doing, can you still sit still at this hour? Isn't this just sitting and waiting to die?"

Zhang Cong's words were rude, and everyone's faces were slightly angry.

Sun Dan raised his head and glanced at him: "Bingyong is so flustered, the sky won't fall."

Zhang Cong sat on the chair angrily, and said angrily: "Jingyuan probably doesn't know yet, you are going to be sent out to be a governor."

Sun Dan smiled softly, stood up, and put a cup of tea in front of him: "Governor, okay, from a second-rank senior official to a frontier official, Sun Dan has now been promoted."

Zhang Cong was furious, grabbed the teacup and said "bang!" and fell to the ground: "Gao Gaosheng, I said you are not far from death and don't realize yourself, you are really stupid."

Zhang Cong was so rude that everyone's faces darkened.

Others know Zhang Cong's identity, so it's hard to say more.The little knife standing behind Wang Gu was originally a gun guy. Seeing that Zhang Cong was so arrogant, he couldn't hold it anymore.In his opinion, the sky is the boss, the emperor is the second, Mr. Sun is the third, Wang Gu is the fourth, and everyone else is just a small person.

He flipped his hand and pulled out a handful of small eel tail plugs from his sleeve, and cursed: "Wu that man, when Mr. Sun is here, if you keep making noise, I will bleed your blood."

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly said: "You can't make mistakes with a small knife!"

Wang Gu also shouted: "Xiaodao, put away the knife. Wherever you are here, you have room to speak."

Only then did Xiaodao retract the dagger into his sleeve, and still looked at Zhang Cong fiercely.

Zhang Cong didn't put the knife in his eyes, and didn't even raise his eyebrows, just pretending that the kid was invisible.He only said to Sun Dan: "Jingyuan, you are also a resourceful person, don't you understand?"

Sun Dan smiled: "Bingyong, I can't understand you when you talk nonsense as soon as you come."

Zhang Cong slapped his head: "I'm also confused. I came from Yang Shoufu just now and heard about you." As he spoke, he explained the previous scenes clearly with Sun Dan, only hiding them. I missed the part where I was looked down upon by others.

After listening carefully, Sun Dan asked about some details, and then asked, "Bingyong, what do you think is unusual about this?"

"It's not unusual. The cabinet will be changed soon. You, Yang Shen, Zhai Luan, and Wang Yuanzheng are the only ones who are qualified to join the cabinet. Do you think it's normal to transfer you to Sichuan at this time?" Zhang Cong's eyes were red with anger.

If Sun Dan leaves, the consequences will be serious.After finally returning to the capital, he was about to make a comeback and make a difference.Zhang Cong knew that he was notorious now, if Sun Dan hadn't stood behind him to support him, maybe it wouldn't be long before he would be beaten to death.

No matter how you look at it, Sun Dan cannot fail.

"It can only be abnormal. The imperial court probably saw that I, Sun Dan, lacked experience in local politics, and asked me to go down to practice?" Sun Dan said indifferently.

"Experience, experience? Even Huang Jin went down." Zhang Cong snorted: "Why do you not understand why I just told Jingyuan?"

"Don't say it if you don't understand it." Sun Dan deliberately teased him.

Zhang Cong said loudly: "Jingyuan, you have an open heart. How can you say such words to provoke me? Well, everyone here is your confidant, so I might as well say what I said. Jingyuan, you and Huang Jin At the same time, the real reason for being released outside is actually in the palace.”

After speaking, he dipped his hands in some tea, and wrote a large character "Dong" on the table.

Sun Dan: "East Palace?"

"Yes." Zhang Cong nodded: "Now this Long Live Lord is wise and powerful, and he is a first-class Mingjun throughout the ages. Everything in this world is in his heart. Moreover, Long Live Lord is firm-willed and the most annoying Others gossip about his affairs. Empress Chen and Concubine Zhang are fighting. In fact, he understands it very well and has his own ideas. However, he doesn't want others to intervene. The fight between you and Huang Jin, Jingyuan, involves too much. Long live is also angry in his heart, he simply released you all."

Sun Dan nodded: "I understand what you said, but what's the point? Even Huang Jin has been released, can I not leave? Actually, it's good to go around the place .”

"No, no, no, Jingyuan still doesn't understand." Zhang Cong shook his head again and again: "Jingyuan, you and Huang Jin are both old people of His Majesty's Long Qian, but don't forget, there is a big difference between you and Huang Jin Your Majesty and Huang Jin have been playing together since they were young. According to Beijingers, that’s called being a child, and your personal relationship is much better than yours, Sun Jingyuan. Besides, Your Majesty made Huang Jin easy to use. Even if Huang Jin goes to Nanjing, he may not be caught soon. I was ordered back to continue to use it. But you, Sun Dan, His Majesty uses you because of your talent, and he respects and fears you in his heart. Back then, His Majesty's imperial power had not yet been consolidated, so if you are useful, he naturally respects you. Until now However, he has only one fear of you in his heart. If you go to Sichuan, I’m afraid you won’t be able to come back. After serving as governor of Sichuan for two terms, even if you return to the capital after ten years, things will change. At that time, Your political allies are old and old, and you will retreat, let alone join the cabinet, it is not bad if you can protect yourself. Jingyuan, you can't leave!"

After Zhang Cong talked about this powerful relationship, everyone in the room understood the power of it, and their faces turned white at the same time.

It can be said that Sun Dan, an interest group, is facing an unprecedented crisis.

Chen Rong suddenly stood up and shouted: "Jingyuan, don't say anything, I will go to the palace immediately to see the empress, and let her go to see your majesty immediately, please be sure to ask your majesty to take it back."

"Stop!" Sun Dan shouted, "I can't go."

Chen Rong: "What's wrong?"

Sun Dan: "The palace is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. This is the law of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. You have violated His Majesty's taboo by going to see the queen at this time."

Chen Rong: "Could it be possible to do nothing?"

Sun Dan: "Everyone, don't panic, the situation is still unclear, Han Yue."

"The villain is here." Han Yue stood up immediately.

"Sun Jia."

"exist."

Sun Dan: "Sun Jia, immediately give Han Yue 1 taels of money. Han Yue, immediately go out and use your former relationship with Jin Yiwei to find out the situation in the palace."

"Yes." Han Yue took the money ticket from Sun Jia and ran out in a hurry.

Sun Dan said to Sun Jia again: "You go to see Bi Yun immediately and ask him to send out the Dongchang fans to get first-hand information."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Sun Dan: "As for the others."

Everyone stood up.

Sun Dan: "Have dinner first, and wait for news."

Everyone was flustered, and naturally they were unwilling to eat.But looking at Sun Dan's appearance, he still had a calm face, drinking wine and eating as soon as he came, and everyone felt a little more at ease.

It was getting dark gradually, and when it was about [-]:[-] p.m. Beijing time in later generations, both Sun Jia and Han Yue came back, saying that arrangements had been made and that if there was any news, they would report it immediately.

For some reason, everyone felt that something would happen tonight, and everyone subconsciously waited at Sun Dan's place without leaving.

It was just getting dark, and suddenly, a servant came over and said, "Master, there is a visitor from Shandong outside asking to see him. He said he was from the master's uncle's house, and that he wanted to see the master no matter what."

Sun Dan was stunned, and thought to himself: My mother in this world has passed away for many years, and my mother's family is thin, and she died long ago, so why is there another relative from my uncle's family.

Sun Dan asked, "What does that person look like?"

The family replied: "Returning to the master, the man covered his face and it was dark, but he couldn't see clearly."

Sun Dan felt even more strange: "You don't even show your appearance?"

The family said: "The man who came told everything about the master's house exactly, and he was definitely a relative of the master. Originally, this matter should be reported to the wife, but the man said he must see the master, and let the villain Bring a sentence to the master, say it is about the green stone, and say that the master will know it as soon as he hears it, and will meet him."

"Green fluorite?" Sun Dan and Wang Gu glanced at each other.

Sun Dan nodded: "Tell him to come in."

Because the visitor was really suspicious, Feng Zhen, Han Yue and Wang Gu exchanged glances.So Han Yue, the queen of Feng Zhen, walked to Sun Dan at the same time, protecting him in her heart.

But Wang Gu and Xiaodao went to the door of the study, one left and one right locked the door.

Soon, that person was brought into the study. The person who came was also tall, but he was dressed in black, with a black cloth covering his face, revealing only a pair of flickering eyes.

After the servant withdrew, Feng Zhen shouted in a low voice: "Where is there no hero, why hide his head and show his tail?"

"What a well-guarded one, what a great enemy." The visitor let out a sharp laugh, and pulled off the black cloth covering his face, revealing a fair and clean eunuch face.

"Chen Hong!" Zhang Cong was taken aback and couldn't help crying out.

Sun Dan knew that Zhang Cong didn't know about his relationship with Chen Hong. Now, Chen Hong's sudden visit and his willingness to reveal his identity should be a big deal.Before he had time to explain to Zhang Cong, he said in a deep voice, "Chen Hong, what are you doing here?"

Chen Hong knelt on the ground with a plop: "Student Chen Hong, I have met my mentor."

"Get up and talk, what happened?"

Chen Hong stood up, and said in a trembling voice: "Men, something is wrong. Your Majesty... Your Majesty just kicked Empress Chen until she vomited blood, and... along with Lu Song, the commander of Jin Yiwei, brought people over to arrest the teacher. Say yes... say yes, if you encounter resistance, you will be shot to death."
