Well, let’s get back to the topic, I still say, the scale of the sea festival is not a problem, after all, it has been finalised, it is useless to talk about it, but the number of people entering the festival must be strictly limited. Only those who have been screened, signed a guarantee, and received an invitation can come to watch the festival, so as to avoid ill-intentioned thieves and Japanese pirates mixing into the festival and causing havoc.”
“In addition, the procedure of the sea festival should not be complicated and wordy, so it should be quick and short, and finished quickly.”
Zhang Jing’s strong voice resounded once again, saying to Zhao Wenhua and the others in an undeniable tone.
“I disagree!I would like to ask Governor Zhang to think carefully, what is the purpose of our sea sacrifice this time?!Destroy the Japanese!Destroy the Japanese! Or exterminate the Japanese! By sacrificing to the sea, heaven, god and man are united!Pray to the God of the Sea to help us destroy the Japanese!Demonstrate Ming’s determination to destroy the Japanese!Boost the people’s confidence!Fight the arrogance of the Japanese!”
“If we strictly limit the number of people attending the festival, wouldn’t that be an announcement to the outside world that we are afraid of the Japanese invaders?What will the people think?The people will think that we are afraid of the Japanese invaders, that we don’t have the confidence to eradicate the Japanese invaders, they will be disappointed in us, they will be disappointed in the court, and they will be disappointed in His Majesty, and this is something that will never be allowed to happen!”
Zhao Wenhua was like the opposing side of a debate, speaking just as forcefully as soon as Zhang Jing’s words fell, tit for tat, not backing down.
“I am the governor of Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, and Huguang provinces, specialising in Japanese suppression, and I have the final say when it comes to eliminating the Japanese!”
“I am the official appointed by His Majesty, and I am the chief priest of this sea sacrifice, I have the final say on all matters related to the sea sacrifice.”
“You’re in charge, can you be responsible for the sea festival?Can you be responsible for the Japanese invaders who have infiltrated the festival?”
“There are more than 10,000 elites in the Jiaochang, and tens of thousands of heavy troops are arranged in the east, south and north directions outside the Jiaochang, so it’s just that the Japanese invaders don’t come, but if they dare to come, they’ll be caught in a jar, and it’s the right time to take their heads and sacrifice them to the sea!!!!!!!!!!”
……
Zhu Pingan stayed in the marshal tent for a tea time and knew that neither of them could convince anyone, 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 argue until the heavens and the earth grew old.
Just as Zhu Pingan thought, Zhang Jing and Zhao Wenhua argued with red faces and ears for half a day without frying a one, two, three or four.
“Forget it, it’s pointless for us to argue, tomorrow is the sea sacrifice, the constitution must be finalised today. As the saying goes, one person counts for the shortest and two for the longest, justice lies in the hearts of the people, it’s better to listen to everyone’s opinions, what do you think?”
Zhang Jing waved his hand, stopping his meaningless battle with Zhao Wenhua, and looked towards the crowd, slowly asking.
Behind him, Zhu Pingan silently gave Zhang Jing a nod of approval, Zhang Jing was very smart, his side was outnumbered and had a lot of power, listening to the opinions of the crowd, in the end, it would definitely be his side that would win with the advantage of numbers.
Zhang Jing was smart, but Zhao Wenhua was not stupid either, especially in this kind of field of deceit and collusion, Zhao Wenhua was better than ever.
As soon as Zhang Jing’s words fell, Zhao Wenhua couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, pointing to the crowd of people behind Zhang Jing, and then pointing to Hu Zongxian and the other three people behind himself, and snickered: ”What is this talk about justice lying in the hearts of the people?Governor Zhang, don’t you blush when you say that?”
“Gaining much help, losing little help, this is justice, Lord Zhao ……” Zhang Jing said with a frank face, not blushing, and even stood on the moral high ground, implying that Zhao Wenhua had no way.
“You are really ……” Zhao Wenhua did not expect the serious Zhang Jing to be so brazen, for a moment angry speech knot.
“I think what Governor Zhang said is …… true.”
At the time when Zhao Wenhua was angry at Zhang Jing’s speech knot, a magnetic voice behind him sounded quietly.
Zhao Wenhua immediately felt like he had been stabbed in the back, incredulously twisting his head to look at the person who had voiced it.
Not only Zhao Wenhua, everyone else in the marquee also looked towards the person who was giving out the voice.
Hu Zongxian!!!!
The one who made the sound was actually Hu Zongxian.
Zhao Wenhua twisted his head in disbelief and stared at Hu Zongxian with a sulky face, as if he was looking at a traitor.
”Good, good you Hu Zongxian!I didn’t expect you to turn against me at this time!In vain I trusted you so much!
The crowd of officials behind Zhang Jing also looked at Hu Zongxian unexpectedly, not expecting that this person who had defected and climbed up to Zhao Wenhua early on would turn against him at this time, which was out of the expectation of the crowd of officials.
To be honest, Zhu Pingan was also somewhat surprised.
However, with Zhu Pingan’s understanding of history, Zhu Pingan knew that Hu Zongxian would not turn against Zhao Wenhua.
Therefore, Hu Zongxian was not trying to betray Zhao Wenhua, on the contrary, Hu Zongxian was trying to help Zhao Wenhua.
“Surname Hu, is he going to abandon the dark side, betray Zhao Wenhua and join Governor Zhang?”Marquis Linhuai came close to Zhu Pingan and whispered.
“No.”Zhu Pingan shook his head and returned in the same low voice, “The reason why Lord Hu is saying this, should be that he has thought of a way to break the situation, and it is definitely a way to help Zhao Wenhua take control of the situation in the Sea of Sacrifice.”
“Ah?!”
Marquis Lin Qiao’s face was incredulous, Hu Zongxian had backtracked so obviously, Xian Nephew even said that he didn’t.
“Hu Zongxian, you say, what Governor Zhang said is very true?!”Zhao Wenhua took a deep breath and looked at Hu Zongxian, asking word by word.
From the tone of Zhao Wenhua’s voice, it could be heard that he was very angry at the moment, and his voice was coming out from between his teeth.
Zhang Jing also looked at Hu Zongxian with interest at this moment, wanting to see if this junior, who he valued in the beginning, but who had degraded himself and climbed Zhao Wenhua, was going to turn back to his prodigal son.
“Back to the lord, exactly. The sea sacrifice will be held tomorrow, and the statute of the sea sacrifice must be finalised today. Since Lord Zhao and Governor Zhang can’t convince anyone, why don’t we listen to the opinions of my humble servant and the others, one person counts on the short and two people count on the long.”
Hu Zongxian, under Zhao Wenhua’s angry eyes, did not change his colour and looked calm as he arched his hands and said to Zhao Wenhua.
Zhao Wenhua glared angrily at Hu Zongxian, you traitor, according to Zhang Jing, wouldn’t that be a comparison of numbers.
Then there is still no need to compare, their that many people, we only have four people, directly admit defeat well, save shame!
When Zhao Wenhua angrily glared at Hu Zongxian, he suddenly found that Hu Zongxian imperceptibly, winked at himself.
Thus, Zhao Wenhua hummed and said impatiently, “Hmph, then let’s hear your opinions.”
“Imperial Historian Hu, I wonder what your opinion is on this?”Zhang Jing was the first to ask Hu Zongxian.
“My humble servant thinks that this matter should be listened to by His Holiness.”Hu Zongxian arched his hands and said so back to Zhang Jing.
“Listen to His Holiness? Oh, Hu imperial historian is confused, we are not saying one hundred and eighty thousand miles away from the capital, but also more than two thousand miles, one to and fro, even faster will take five or six days. But tomorrow is going to sacrifice the sea, how to be in time.”
Hu Zongxian’s words just fell, then someone can not help but shake his head and make fun of it.
“Your holiness is wise, this has long been decided.”Hu Zongxian slightly smiled, clasped his fist in the direction of the capital said.
“There has long been a decision?”The crowd sniffed and shook their heads in question.
“His Majesty’s holy decree has long had words in advance, ‘with Zhao Wenhua presiding over the sea sacrifice, cheaply act, Jiangnan officials to cooperate, no mistakes’, that is to say, all matters of the sea sacrifice, presided over by Lord Zhao, cheaply act. Jiangnan officials, including the Governor General, to be co-operative, no mistakes ……”
Hu Zongxian bowed his head and said slowly.
“Hmmmm, good, good, exactly. I will preside over the sea sacrifice, all officials in Jiangnan, including Governor Zhang, to be co-operative, no mistakes. Oh, Governor Zhang, you won’t go against disobedience to the holy will, right?!”
Zhao Wenhua was overjoyed when he heard this and patted Hu Zongxian’s shoulder approvingly, then looked at Zhang Jing in a villainous manner and said sorrowfully.
“This official naturally obeys the Holy Will! Hmph! If there is any failure in the sea sacrifice, I’ll see if you can take the responsibility!”
Zhang Jing looked at Hu Zongxian for a few seconds before looking at the smug Zhao Wenhua, grunting hard and whisking his sleeves away.
