Chapter 1709 You traitor
"Okay, let's get down to business. I'll say the same thing. It doesn't matter if the sea sacrifice is large. After all, it's a foregone conclusion. It's useless to say more, but it is necessary to strictly limit the number of people entering the funeral hall. Only those who have passed the identity screening and signed the guarantee Only those who have received the invitation can come to watch the sea of sacrifice, so as to prevent thieves and Japanese pirates with bad intentions from mixing into the sacrificial place and causing damage.”
"In addition, the procedures for offering sacrifices to the sea should not be complicated and long-winded. It is better to be quick and short, and end the matter quickly."
Zhang Jing's powerful voice sounded again, speaking to Zhao Wenhua and others in an unquestionable tone.
"I disagree! I would like to ask Governor Zhang to think about it carefully. What is the purpose of our sea sacrifice?! To destroy the Japanese! To destroy the Japanese! It is still to destroy the Japanese! Through the sacrifice to the sea, heaven, god, and man are united! Pray for the sea God help me destroy the Japanese! Demonstrate my determination to destroy the Japanese! Boost the confidence of the people! Fight against the arrogance of the Japanese pirates!"
"If the number of people in the sacrificial ceremony is strictly limited, wouldn't that mean announcing to the outside world that we are afraid of Japanese pirates?! What will the common people think? The common people will think that we are afraid of Japanese pirates and that we have no confidence in eradicating Japanese pirates. They will be disappointed with us and the court. , will disappoint the Holy One, this will never be allowed to happen!"
Zhao Wenhua was like a friend of the opposing side in the debate competition. As soon as Zhang Jing's voice fell, he spoke forcefully, confronting each other without giving in.
"I am the governor of the provinces of Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, and Huguang. I specialize in fighting against Japanese. I have the final say on matters related to the eradication of Japanese!"
"I am the imperial envoy appointed by the Holy One, and I am the officiant of this sea sacrifice. I have the final say on everything about the sea sacrifice."
"You have the final say, can you be responsible for Jihai? Japanese pirates infiltrated the Jiaochang and made trouble, can you take responsibility?!"
"There are more than 10,000 elites in the Jiaochang, and tens of thousands of heavy soldiers are deployed in the east, south, and north directions outside the Jiaochang. If the Japanese pirates don't come, it's fine. If they dare to come, they will become turtles in the urn, and they just take their heads to sacrifice to the sea!! !"
When Zhu Pingan spent a cup of tea in the handsome tent, he knew that neither of them could convince the other, and also knew that they were not trying to convince anyone, they were just arguing for the sake of arguing, and it was useless to quarrel till the end.
Just as Zhu Ping'an thought, Zhang Jing and Zhao Wenhua quarreled red-faced for a long time, but they didn't make one, two, three, four.
"Forget it, it's meaningless for us to quarrel. There will be a sea sacrifice tomorrow, and today we must finalize the regulations. The so-called one person counts the short and the other counts the long. It is fair and comfortable. Let's listen to everyone's opinions, you What do you think?"
Zhang Jing waved his hand, stopped the meaningless verbal fight with Zhao Wenhua, looked at everyone, and asked slowly.
Zhu Pingan silently gave Zhang Jing a thumbs-up from behind. Zhang Jing is very smart. His side has a large number of people, and he has great power to speak. He listened to the opinions of the audience. In the end, his side must win by the superiority of numbers.
Zhang Jing is smart, and Zhao Wenhua is not stupid, especially in this field of intrigue and intrigue, Zhao Wenhua is even better than him.
As soon as Zhang Jing's voice fell, Zhao Wenhua couldn't help but sneered. He pointed to the people behind Zhang Jing, and then pointed to Hu Zongxian and the three people behind him. Don't you blush at this?"
"Get more help than others, this is justice, Mr. Zhao..." Zhang Jing said calmly, without blushing or panting, and even stood on the commanding heights of morality, implying that Zhao Wenhua was innocent.
"You really are..." Zhao Wenhua didn't expect the serious Zhang Jing to be so cheeky, and he stopped angrily.
"I think what Governor Zhang said is really..."
When Zhao Wenhua was stopped by Zhang Jingqi's words, a magnetic voice sounded faintly behind him.
Zhao Wenhua suddenly turned his head to look at the person who made the sound, as if he had been stabbed in the back.
Not only Zhao Wenhua, but everyone else in the handsome tent also looked at the person who spoke.
Hu Zongxian!!!
It was Hu Zongxian who spoke.
Zhao Wenhua turned his head, unbelievable, and stared at Hu Zongxian sullenly, as if he was looking at a traitor.
Good, good you Hu Zongxian! I didn’t expect you to turn against the water at this time! It’s in vain that I trust you so much!
All the officials behind Zhang Jing also looked at Hu Zongxian in surprise. They didn't expect that this person who had taken refuge in Zhao Wenhua early on would turn his back on him at this time. This was beyond the expectations of all the officials.
To be honest, Zhu Ping'an was also a little surprised.
However, based on Zhu Pingan's understanding of history, Zhu Pingan knew that Hu Zongxian would not betray Zhao Wenhua.
So, Hu Zongxian is not trying to betray Zhao Wenhua, on the contrary, Hu Zongxian is trying to help Zhao Wenhua.
"The surname Hu, is he going to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, betray Zhao Wenhua, and seek refuge with Governor Zhang?" Marquis Linhuai approached Zhu Pingan and whispered.
"No." Zhu Pingan shook his head, and replied in a low voice, "Master Hu probably thought of a way to break the situation, and it must be a way to help Zhao Wenhua control the Jihai situation."
"what?!"
Lin Qiaohou looked in disbelief, Hu Zongxian was so obviously betrayed, and the nephew actually said that he didn't.
"Hu Zongxian, what do you think, is what Governor Zhang said?!" Zhao Wenhua took a deep breath, looked at Hu Zongxian, and asked word by word.
It can be heard from Zhao Wenhua's tone that he is very angry at the moment, and his voice is coming from between his teeth.
Zhang Jing also looked at Hu Zongxian with great interest at this time, wanting to see if this junior, whom he valued at the beginning, but who was willing to degenerate and cling to Zhao Wenhua, wanted the prodigal son to turn back.
"Returning to my lord, that's exactly the case. Tomorrow we will sacrifice to the sea, and today we must finalize the regulations for the sacrifice of the sea. Since neither Mr. Zhao nor Governor Zhang can persuade the other, it is better to listen to the opinions of the officials and others. The two planners are also."
Under Zhao Wenhua's angry eyes, Hu Zongxian said to Zhao Wenhua with his hands arched, without changing his face and with a calm expression.
Zhao Wenhua glared at Hu Zongxian angrily, you traitor, according to Zhang Jing's meaning, isn't that a comparison of the number of people.
Is there still a need to compare, they have a lot of people, we only have four people, just admit defeat, save embarrassment!
When Zhao Wenhua glared at Hu Zongxian angrily, he suddenly realized that Hu Zongxian was insignificant, and blinked at himself.
So, Zhao Wenhua snorted, and said impatiently, "Hmph, let's listen to your opinions."
"Hu Yushi, what's your opinion on this?" Zhang Jing was the first to ask Hu Zongxian.
"The lower officials think that this matter should be heard from the Holy Majesty." Hu Zongxian arched his hands and replied to Zhang Jing like this.
"Listen to the Holy Majesty? Hehe, Hu Yushi is confused. We are more than two thousand miles away from the capital, not to mention one hundred and eight thousand miles. It will take five or six days to go back and forth. But tomorrow we will sacrifice The sea is here, how can we make it in time?"
As soon as Hu Zongxian finished speaking, someone couldn't help shaking his head and making fun of it.
"Your Majesty is wise, he has made a decision on this a long time ago." Hu Zongxian smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said in the direction of the capital.
"Have you already made a decision?" Everyone heard this and shook their heads in doubt.
"The holy decree has long stated, 'Zhao Wenhua presides over the sacrifice to the sea and acts cheaply, and all officials in the south of the Yangtze River will cooperate without any mistakes'. That is to say, Lord Zhao will preside over all matters related to the sacrifice to the sea and act cheaply. All officials in the south of the Yangtze River, including the governor, cooperate and make no mistakes”
Hu Zongxian lowered his head and said slowly.
"Yeah, yes, yes, that's exactly the case. I will preside over the sea sacrifice, and all officials in the south of the Yangtze River, including Governor Zhang, will cooperate and make no mistakes. Hehe, Governor Zhang, you will not violate the sacred will, will you?!"
Zhao Wenhua was overjoyed when he heard the words, and patted Hu Zongxian on the shoulder approvingly, then looked at Zhang Jing with complacency, and said in a dark voice.
"I naturally obey the holy will! Hmph! If there is any mistake in Jihai, I see if you can bear the responsibility!"
Zhang Jing looked at Hu Zongxian for a few seconds before looking at the proud Zhao Wenhua, snorted forcefully, and walked away.
