Be willing to pay the price for mistakes, admit failures, and actively correct them.

He showed his attitude and took the initiative to ask for punishment. This actually solved the root cause of Shen Hao's previous hesitation. It seemed simple, but in fact, his inner choices were still anti-human.

People are "greedy" and instinctively "avoid disasters". Taking the initiative to accept punishment is not something that ordinary people can do.

Obviously, Shen Hao's request for punishment made the emperor a little confused. He did not expect that Shen Hao was here to apologize, and it was the fault of the intelligence organization "Hei Shui" established by the Black Flag Camp.

Logically speaking, Shen Hao should go to Pang Ban to apologize for such faults within the Black Flag Camp first, and then Pang Ban comes to the palace to meet and apologize for the crime. After this, he can also share a lot of pressure from Shen Hao. But Shen Hao did not do this, why?

It’s not that I want to take the punishment alone instead of dragging Pang Ban into the water. It’s easy to figure these twists and turns around the emperor, and I thought to myself that it was indeed as it was told outside. Although Shen Hao is famous, he has feelings and righteousness to his own people. Even if such a person is a hawk, he will feel more at ease. Because as long as he is good to him, he will repay you, instead of becoming an ungrateful wolf.

Then Shen Hao told the whole story, and the emperor's eyes widened a little. He knew that Heishui was working on intelligence channels, and also understood that the intelligence channels needed to spread secret agents and needed to make some secret arrangements that could not be put on the table. But he never expected that Heishui would put his hands into the backyard of the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and he was also the head lady of the family!

Yang Shu had heard of two young wives in Bai Changqing's family, and even used them more than once as topics of conversation. It is rare to have a beautiful face, not to mention that there are many twists and turns, and some stories are not so exciting. But now Shen Hao told him that everything was arranged by Heishui, and they made a plan for Bai Changqing. At first, the purpose was to find out some of the trends of the civil servant group in the royal examination.

To count it, Yang Shu took advantage of the secret spies around Bai Changqing. He just unexpectedly, Hei Shui or Shen Hao was so brave that he dared to stretch his hands for so long.

But now there was a problem, and the two spies around Bai Changqing were actually thinking of being rebellious. When dealing with this problem, Bai Changqing jumped out and came to Shen Hao, saying that he had known his wife was a spy, but he was still reluctant to leave. He wanted to fight with Shen Hao head-on, forcing Shen Hao to give up his plan to poison his wife. Finally, he formed a stalemate.

Shen Hao came here to apologize for this matter. He thought about the charges himself, which was called: the information basics were inaccurate, resulting in the leakage of secrets and posed great hidden dangers.

"I am not handling it properly, so please punish him severely!" Shen Hao said that, and he stood up and said that he could handle it clearly.

In fact, how can the emperor deal with Shen Hao? Shen Hao is now special. He has a job as a deacon of foreign affairs in Fenghong Villa, or the only disciple of the two ancestors in Fenghong Villa. Anyway, the punishment of death or harm cannot fall on him. At most, it is a fine of salary, reprimand, or dismissal of office. What can this be considered to Shen Hao? Even if it is a dismissal of office and the limelight is over, who can steal his position as the commander of the Black Flag Camp in Xuanqingwei? Pang Ban will not agree.

The benefits of doing this are obvious. It can directly remove the pressure from the emperor. No matter what Bai Changqing does, the threat will be reduced immediately. Moreover, after knowing the depth of the penetration of the Black Water spy, the emperor could not see Bai Changqing everywhere saying that this matter broke the long-term arrangement of the Black Flag Battalion. After all, the emperor also needs to secretly help him to secretly watch the civil and military officials and the market gossip.

Therefore, the information channels of the Black Flag Camp are not only used by the Black Flag Camp, but the emperor can also rank first among the people who benefit.

These things are actually not difficult to imagine. Shen Hao was just like a blind eye because he was stubborn. Now that his heart is gone, he can naturally handle it with ease.

Yang Shu looked at Shen Hao who was kneeling on the ground and did not rush to speak, but had a smile on his face. To be honest, he was not very angry at the "flaw" that Shen Hao said, probably because he had not caused obvious losses yet. Moreover, the ability of black water infiltration made him satisfied. In this way, he was even more angry with the attitude.

In addition, Shen Hao did this and completely resolved a doubt in Yang Shu's heart. Only when the two were connected could he show a smile on his face.

After a while, a copper strip was pulled out of the table by the emperor and thrown in front of Shen Hao.

"You open it and take a look. After all, they are smart people, each with their own plans, and they will choose their most advantageous method to break the deadlock. You are very similar to this."

The emperor's words made Shen Hao a little confused. He picked up the copper strip that he threw over, and before he opened it, he saw the unique patterns on the copper strip that belonged to the Ministry of Revenue. He was shocked and wondered: Could it be that Bai Changqing had reported to the emperor about this matter?!

While he was surprised and suspicious, Shen Hao opened the copper strip. There were not many words inside, and there were only more than a thousand words in it. The content expressed was not related to his apology today, but it also surprised Shen Hao very much.

"Your Majesty, this..."

Yang Shu smiled and said, "This is the note handed over yesterday morning, written by Bai Changqing. I am still wondering why Bai Changqing's Minister of Revenue did a good job and suddenly wrote a letter to retire. He also hoped that his youngest son would be sent to Fenghong Villa to learn art. He sincerely hoped that I would allow him.

I have written half of the notes to scold him, but you came to apologize. So Bai Changqing wanted to avoid disaster and retire. At the same time, it is good that I will recite the letter here to prevent any accidents?

Shen Hao, Shen Hao, Xuan Qingwei's reputation is already bad enough, and now your Black Flag Camp's reputation seems even more than that! The Minister of Revenue is so scared that you want to retire and avoid disaster. Tsk tsk, this is indeed extraordinary!"

It is hard to tell whether the emperor was simply teasing or pounding. Shen Hao knelt down and did not defend himself. After all, the reputation was given by others, and you can't control whether you are good or bad. Bai Changqing's choice is also Bai Changqing's personal judgment. It is hard to say whether he is afraid to avoid disaster. But the result is indeed the same as Shen Hao who is here to apologize for the same crime today.

After a while, Yang Shu shook his head, waved his hand to let Shen Hao get up, and said, "Okay, you want to punish you to find Pang Ban yourself. What's the matter with your Xuan Qingwei's own rules? As for Bai Changqing, that's my capable minister, you can't do anything randomly.

As for the secret spy, I will warn Bai Changqing not to say anything, and that if something goes wrong, it will cause trouble for him.
