Chapter 1393 Still arrogant as always
Of course, Zhuge Ke was not completely unprepared. He was surrounded by at least hundreds of armored soldiers. These guards were carefully selected by Zhuge Ke. Not only were they all extraordinary, but they were also loyal dead soldiers. They were on shifts by Zhuge Ke in shifts day and night. No matter where Zhuge Ke was, they followed closely, unavailable, and always protected Zhuge Ke's safety.
The higher the position and the more powerful the person is, the more afraid of death. Zhuge Ke is no exception. Since becoming the chief minister, Zhuge Ke has cherished his life very much. The iron-blooded dead soldiers never leave. Unless the opponent wants to lose a large number of people to siege and kill, it is far from enough to send a few assassins to assassinate.
But Zhuge Ke has the power of military power and can mobilize a large number of troops at any time. If someone really dares to challenge him, he must first consider whether his weight is enough.
Accompanied by Sun Jun, Zhuge Ke arrived at the north gate of Jianye, where more officials gathered to welcome him. Zhuge Ke glanced at him and found that the Secretary of the Central Secretariat Sun He was also on the line. His face suddenly became gloomy. He raised his hand and the person behind him held a large edict and threw it at Sun He's feet. Zhuge Ke said coldly: "These yellow silk is an expensive thing. What should you be punished for issuing edicts so excessively and wasting the court's property?"
Sun He's face suddenly turned pale, and sweat beads on his forehead fell like rain. Sun He was just a Secretary of the Secretariat. Although he had the power to issue edicts, he was not under his control. Now Zhuge Ke was asking him to offend him, which made him very frightened, but Sun He couldn't argue. After all, he couldn't afford to offend those edicts, so he could only lie on the ground and said in fear: "Prime Minister for forgiveness."
Zhuge Ke sneered and said, "For the great cause of the late emperor, I worked day and night, sleeping in the front line. But you are eating a lot of free meals in the capital. What a solemn thing the emperor's edict uses, and you actually let you send it randomly. One is a basket of radish. You are so reckless, you are not suitable for your order!"
Sun He's face changed drastically. When the imperial edict was issued, Sun He felt that this was inappropriate. The court was not wrong to summon Zhuge Ke back, but the edicts were sent one after another and were issued too frequently. This was unintentionally to mess with Zhuge Ke in Maoli. Sun He was a little timid, but the person who drafted the edict told Sun He to let him directly manage the issue, and he would take the blame for anything.
Sun He had no choice but to follow the order. Now Zhuge Ke has indeed blamed him, but no one has ever stood up to him to hold him back. Sun He had no choice but to kowtow like pounding garlic and ask Zhuge Ke for forgiveness.
Zhuge Ke waved his hand impatiently and ordered his subordinates to take down Sun Hey and hand it over to the Agent for investigation.
After dealing with Sun Hey, Zhuge Ke set his sights on choosing Shangshu Cao and asked casually: "After we left Beijing, did we choose new officials?"
When I chose Shangshu Cao, I suddenly felt a little nervous. Zhuge Ke had left the capital for more than a year, and the affairs of the court could not be completely stopped. Some officials had stepped down and some officials had retired, so there were always alternatives to be promoted. The promotion and expulsion of all officials were naturally investigated, but there were some acts of illegitimate fraud among them. When Shangshu Cao heard Zhuge Ke ask about this, he was naturally afraid. He had to know that he had assigned several relatives himself. If Zhuge Ke really wanted to pursue it, he would not have to take it away.
But when facing Zhuge Ke's inquiry, he dared not not to answer when he chose Shangshu Cao, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "I chose some when I went back to the Prime Minister."
Zhuge Ke said calmly: "Put the list for me to see."
Of course, the directory was not brought with you. The directory was chosen by Cao Shangshu. He quickly asked the people below to pick it up. He quickly brought it over and handed it to Zhuge Ke.
Zhuge Ke took the list and glanced at it, and was furious. There were at least hundreds of people on this list. After more than a year since he left Beijing, the people who chose Cao dared to choose so many people on his back. Not to mention whether these people were cheated by private fraud, at least he didn't even say a word, and he actually dared to do things without saying a word. In their eyes, is he the prime minister?
Zhuge Ke threw the list directly on the ground and announced loudly: "All officials on the list will be returned to their original positions. The minister will re-assess the election of the chief minister and re-assess the best. Anyone who commits personal fraud will not be hired for the rest of his life!"
The election of Shangshu Cao was secretly relieved. Fortunately, Zhuge Ke did not check the list carefully, otherwise he would have found out the relatives he appointed, and he would have finished the election of Shangshu Cao. He hurriedly put the list away and said, "Prime Minister Shengming."
Zhuge Ke ignored him anymore, boarded the carriage and headed straight to the palace.
Sun Jun, who accompanied the whole process, always stood by with a smile on his face, without saying a word, and let Zhuge Ke give orders arrogantly.
Unexpectedly, if he hadn't seen each other for more than a year, Zhuge Ke was still as arrogant as ever. As soon as he entered the city, he scolded the Secretary of the Central Secretariat and the elected Shangshu of Cao and removed all the officials who had elected Cao Zhun for a year. Sun Jun knew very well that although there were people on this list who had climbed up by bribery with a lot of money, most of them still took the normal way of promotion. Zhuge Ke beat these people to the end regardless of scattered scatter. Then he offended more than one or two, but hundreds of people.
Although Zhuge Ke's status and identity are disdainful to these inferior people and regard them as ants, if there are many ants, they can still kill the elephant, especially those officials who work diligently and obey the law and finally get promoted, were beaten up by Zhuge Ke in one fell swoop. How could they not feel resentful?
Zhuge Ke's hatred like this can only mean that he is gradually drifting away on the road to death.
Sun Jun and those families had already planned that as soon as Zhuge Ke entered Jianye City, he would be unable to fly. In order to prevent the night from growing and dreaming, Sun Jun decided to take action on the day Zhuge Ke entered the city and caught Zhuge Ke off guard.
No matter how cautious Zhuge Ke was, he would never have thought that the net of heaven and earth had been laid out in Jianye City at this moment, and he was waiting to drill in it.
Of course, Sun Jun would not choose to take action at the city gate. After all, Zhuge Ke came back with the army, and there were countless soldiers around him. It was very difficult to kill Zhuge Ke when he took action here.
So Sun Jun chose to take action in the palace. After all, Zhuge Ke went to see Sun Liang to see him. It was impossible to bring so many guards in. No matter what, it was not consistent with the courtesy. As long as the guards around Zhuge Ke were reduced, Sun Jun would be confident to take him down.
