Chapter Twenty-Five: Grace and Might
In the quiet afternoon, the sky is clear, and the clouds float shallowly, with a bit of intoxicating charm.
For the first time, the council hall of the government was filled with the heads of all parts of the barracks, including those of the pacification department, the capital deployment department, and the capital division of the government, as well as the various levels of military management who actually trained the soldiers.
Most of them were disdainful on their faces, and some even felt a little humiliated. It is not a problem to ask them to obey anyone, but it should definitely not be a woman.
is still a woman who has been stupid for sixteen years.
Even if her mind is clear now, how can she make up for the gap of sixteen years, no matter how smart she is now, it is only enough to embroider in the boudoir and look at the female ring, who is qualified to ride on their heads and point fingers.
Even if His Majesty and the crown prince issued a holy decree and announced it to the world, they would not just admit it, and they would force this woman to ask for resignation.
They had discussed early on that all parts of the city should be repaired, guarded, and suppressed...... All sides have to use army soldiers to a greater or lesser extent, and if the soldiers go out of training and the barracks are paralyzed, the consequences can be imagined.
They want to see how this only daughter of Xue Zhifu, who was killed halfway, will deal with it.
The invited officials were all secretly disarming, but Jing Ning was tepid, smiling lightly and instructing his subordinates to pour tea, as if this was just a tea party for the first time, and exchanged a few words of greetings without thinking about it.
The main entrance of the hall was open, leaking a place of light, and the sunlight outside the room shone on her beautiful face, which made it look particularly vivid.
Taking a sip of tea, Jing Ning half-leaned on the back of the chair, and said in a cold tone, "When I first took office today, I heard that there was chaos in the military camp. It's also a coincidence, it happened to be my first day back to Pingcheng, and it was no accident that I thought about it. The reason why I came to you is to hear what you think? ”
The generals below looked at each other, they didn't expect her to be so direct, and the first thing she said was to the point. But even so, the law does not blame the public, and she is not enough to punish everyone.
Thinking of this, everyone had no scruples, and one of them replied helplessly, "Hui Lord, we naturally don't agree with such a nonsense approach, but the people under us are not satisfied with Hui Lord, and we have been persuading for a long time, but it has no effect." ”
"yes, yes." The other person immediately chimed in, "The beneficiary can get the decree of His Majesty, and I want to have the ability, and we are planning to ask the beneficiary for help on this matter, but I wonder if the beneficiary has a solution?" ”
said this on her lips, but she was mocking in her heart, but she only got this official position by virtue of the gold mounting, and I don't know how she came up with this idea at that time. It's not better for a woman to teach her husband and children at home, so she comes to the government to join in the fun.
One person spoke, and the rest naturally expressed their positions, just wanting to stand by and see how she could solve it.
Jing Ning's smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, Shi Shiran stood up, and his voice contained three points of momentum, "I don't know if you have heard such a story." During the reign of Emperor Sejong, Yu County on Jinghu South Road had a county named Zhou Fu. During his tenure, there was a riot, and the people had no food to eat, so they flocked to the county government to seek death and life. In front of the people, Zhou Fu arrested several major traders who wantonly raised grain prices, severely punished them, and then ordered them to sell grain at a low price, otherwise they would be dealt with by the official law. The vendors who took the lead in bending the law knew that it was terrible, and they no longer dared to act indiscriminately. ”
Her voice was loud, and her words seemed to be casual and careless, but everyone present changed their faces slightly, and they sat up straight one by one, holding back.
Jing Ning said leisurely, "In his position, he plans his affairs, and he is responsible, and all of you should understand this kind of Taoist ideal." I have never been a trickster behind my back, but today I will make it clear in front of all the adults. ”
"You are all the chiefs of various places, and you are in command of many soldiers, and I will look for him directly in the future if something happens. If you don't have the ability to stop it, I think it's because the adults are not capable. In this case, I plan to go to Beijing with a fold, and change the good ministers of His Majesty, thinking that when I come to Pingcheng, there will always be generals who can manage the soldiers under him. ”
Her words were a little angry, not the usual soft voice of everyone's ladies, adding a little momentum, so that people dare not underestimate it.
The faces of the people sitting were a little unbearable, they were all veteran generals who had been on the battlefield, and today they were actually taught a lesson by a little girl in this mansion, how humiliating.
was about to have a seizure, but saw Xue Jingning suddenly soften his voice again, and raised an ordinary smile and said, "However, all the elders present are my father's right-hand men during his lifetime, and they have made many meritorious contributions to Pingcheng, and they are admirable officers in the army. I think you have your own way to command your own soldiers, saying that you are here to consult Jingning, but it is just to give Jingning a face. ”
She humbly waved her hand at everyone, "When my father was alive, he often told me that thanks to your dedication to guarding the city, the people have been able to live more and more peacefully. Jing Ning is not talented, and I still need to rely on you in the future, if there is anything that is not done properly, please ask the elders to mention more, so as to fulfill my father's last wish to prosper Pingcheng! ”
When the veterans heard her say this, their faces turned slightly pale, and they pondered carefully what she had just said, and then they realized that there seemed to be something wrong with their actions. They are now frozen here, how sad it is for the people of Heisei, as the generals of a city, their hearts are narrow-minded.
It's not as open as a teenage girl.
For a while, looking at the woman on the seat, everyone's expressions changed somewhat, and they didn't see this set of tricks today, but every word she said was quite powerful, if it weren't for someone behind her back to give her guidance, just what she thought and thought, coupled with this all-round style, I am afraid that she is not an ordinary lady in the boudoir.
