Chapter 450: The Wind Blows

It seems to open the skin of the beaten person, but in fact, it is just some skin trauma, which does not hurt the muscles and bones. If another rough guy comes over, maybe he can walk back on the spot. This Lin Shan will faint, but it is also because his body is too weak, coupled with the mixture of anger, he can't bear it for a while.

Let the military doctor order gold sore medicine, and soon he will be able to live again.

But the others didn't know Xie Yutang's hand, they only saw Lin Shan's miserable appearance, and their hearts were mixed for a while.

Anyway, after this incident, the discipline in the barracks has improved a lot, those peasant children have become more diligent, and the rest of the family children, they were originally led by Lin Shan, and when they saw that the other party suffered under Xie Yutang, they didn't even dare to let go of a fart, and they followed the training every day, and they didn't dare to have any complaints.

In this regard, Xie Yutang had other ideas, he deliberately mentioned the monarch at the beginning, and he also had a tentative mind. As an emperor, he will always want to control the overall situation, the army is so powerful, the monarch can't really let it go, and there are many monarchs in the barracks.

Originally, he thought that if the contradiction between the monarch and the family was highlighted, those eyeliners would be on his side. Unexpectedly, he said so, and those people were still indifferent. If he hadn't investigated in advance and knew that the other party was indeed the king's person, he would have wondered if he had made a mistake.

Since those people are unwilling to expose themselves, the only reason can only be that the monarch does not trust him at the moment and refuses to show him his hole cards.

In the military tent, the candle flame flickered faintly, Xie Yutang sat in front of the table, looking at the map in front of him, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The candlelight reflected his tall figure on the tent, like a beast ready to attack, and the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was all over the building.

After knowing the true thoughts of the monarch, Xie Yutang intentionally or unintentionally began to handle affairs for the monarch, those tricky and embarrassing things, which all ministers avoided, but he took it all in one go, and when everyone was not optimistic, he fought a beautiful battle perfectly, so that the monarch couldn't help but be impressed.

When Xie Yutang was promoted to deputy general, the monarch also had the intention of promoting him. Now in the court, the power of the family should not be underestimated, and there is a faint tendency to surpass the imperial power. And the upstarts have an unstable foundation, and although they have his backing, it is difficult to compete with the family.

The appearance of Xie Yutang can be said to be a life-saving straw under the despair of the monarch.

As long as Xie Yutang is cultivated as his own person and firmly controls the army, he is not afraid of the family taking advantage of the situation to seize power.

After Xie Yutang did several major things, the monarch gradually brought him under his command, but all emperors have a common characteristic, that is, they are suspicious, and the monarch is naturally no exception. Xie Yutang's appearance was like a gust of wind that could not be found without a trace, and suddenly showed its head in the army.

This makes the monarch always think of the spy, although he admires the other party, he does not dare to joke about his own safety. In the face of such a talent but not being able to make the best use of it, the monarch's heart is as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.

He finally made up his mind and decided to test Xie Yutang.

On this day, before the dispersal of the dynasty, a minister suddenly came out of the ranks, "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to play." ”

"Oh? What is the important matter of Lord Zhang? The monarch pretended not to answer, but in fact, his heart was clear. This Lord Zhang is his person, and it is also his instruction to stand up today.

"Back to Your Majesty, the old minister got a news that there were examiners who privately bribed the examiners in this year's imperial examination, selling officials and selling knights." As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

It is also common for them to receive some small favors on weekdays, even if they sell officials and lords, they are also sold by some local petty officials, as long as they are not checked by someone with a heart, they will not be discovered.

For so many years, the ministers have tacitly understood each other, and the monarch has also turned a blind eye to this. But it's different when it comes to the imperial examination, it's a major event used by Shanglin State for talent selection, and it's easy to be careless. Someone actually dared to do anything in the imperial examination?

After hearing this, the monarch's face suddenly sank, "How can this be true! You are all bold, is it not that one day, even I will not be taken seriously?! ”

Although he had known about this for a long time, when he mentioned it again, the monarch was still trembling with anger. In the face of the emperor's anger, everyone knelt on the ground one after another, not daring to shout. No matter what they think in their hearts, on the bright side, the monarch is still the emperor who is still high.

The monarch took a few deep breaths and calmed the anger in his heart, his purpose today was not to be a snake with these ministers.

"Is there any Aiqing who is willing to investigate this matter thoroughly, I must catch all these moths, the court raised you, but not for you to be corrupt and take bribes!" The king's teeth chattered, and the last sentence could be said to have been squeezed out of between his teeth.

His fierce eyes swept towards everyone, but no one was willing to step forward to take the matter. After all, this is not a simple matter of corruption and bribery, it is a matter of imperial examination, and once it is investigated, it is bound to implicate all the newly appointed officials this time. Among those officials are not only children of poor families, but many of them come from a lot of backgrounds, and taking over this job is equivalent to facing those people head-on.

There is also selling officials and selling knights, who here hasn't done it? If you really want to start from the source, the officials of the entire Shanglin Country will not be able to escape, and they will affect the whole body.

This thing is a hot potato, who dares to pat their chests and promise that they are willing to be enemies of all officials? I'm afraid that as soon as they take over the will, the other will be targeted.

The king gave them a choice, either to be a pure vassal and cut off all retreats. Either the sides and the mud, but neither side can accommodate them.

What others can think of, Xie Yutang can naturally think of as well. It's just that he is different from those officials, he came to Shanglin State in order to gain the trust of the monarch and form an alliance with the monarch, and the rest don't care.

So when no one came out to answer the decree, the king's face became darker and darker. Xie Yutang strode to the center of the Jinluan Palace, he bowed and saluted, and said loudly, "The last general is willing to serve Your Majesty." ”

"Good! Good! Good! The monarch said three good words in a row, and his face was full of joy. His original purpose was to force Xie Yutang to take over this matter, but he didn't expect the other party to stand up by himself before he could speak, and for a while, he was even more satisfied with him. Give him a cutlass on the spot.

"This is the weapon I used in the first battle, and now that I am old, I can no longer kill it. Today I will give you this scimitar, and I will see it as I see it. If Vice General Xie is obstructed during the investigation, there is no need to show Ming, and he will be cut first and then played. The monarch lovingly brushed the scabbard, personally walked down from the dragon chair, and solemnly handed the scimitar into Xie Yutang's hand.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes when they looked at Xie Yutang suddenly became subtle. The monarch treats him so kindly, but he is afraid that he wants to win over the other party.

Xie Yutang's heart moved slightly, but his face did not show anything. After taking the scimitar, he saluted respectfully, "The last general will take the order." ”

Shanglin Guo began a period of rumors, Xie Yutang was decisive, and did not show mercy to those ministers at all, and the things they had done were shaken out one by one. Xie Yutang compiled all of this into a booklet and presented it to the monarch.

The monarch Long Yan was furious and smashed a whole set of his favorite blue and white porcelain bowls on the spot. ordered people to go to the homes of those ministers, raided their homes and dismissed officials, and for a time, the prison of the Criminal Department ushered in many distinguished guests.

Afterwards, the monarch was particularly distressed by the set of porcelain bowls, and counted the account on the heads of the ministers who committed the crime, and ordered people to torture them in prison. These ministers are pampered on weekdays, and where they have suffered such crimes, even if some people can't stand it, they will die when they are tortured.

There was a bloody storm in the court, and countless ministers fell off their horses and replaced them with cronies of the monarch. Looking at the rejuvenated court, the monarch is full of spirit every day when he goes to court. In contrast, Lin Guogong's face is getting uglier and uglier day by day.

On this day, he gathered all his men together to discuss countermeasures.

"Lord Zhao and Lord Shen have all been affected in this incident, and if Xie Yutang investigates it, I'm afraid that none of us will be spared." Lin Guogong's thin fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, but there was a fine light in his cloudy eyes that did not match his age.

"That Xie Yutang is just a hairy boy, if you invite someone over and beat it well, you will definitely not come to embarrass the grandfather again." General Li snorted coldly, his words full of disdain.

Hearing this, before Lin Guo could speak publicly, General Mo took the lead in pouring a basin of cold water, "People are not just hairy boys, but also celebrities in front of Your Majesty, with Your Majesty behind you, unless Grandpa Guo comes forward in person, it will be difficult for him to retreat." ”

These words are not uningenious, which not only hit General Li, but also touted Lin Guogong.

Sure enough, Lin Guogong glanced at General Mo appreciatively, and when he turned to General Li, his face was full of hatred, "The limbs are developed and the mind is simple, then Xie Yutang got the scimitar given by His Majesty, if you invite him over, what if he crushes you?" ”

Although this General Li is loyal, he lacks some strategy, and although this General Mo has many schemes, he is far less loyal than General Li. Fortunately, these two people check and balance each other, and they are all right.

Lin Guogong lowered his head slightly, took a sip of the dragon well in the cup, and the curling mist removed the thoughtfulness in his eyes.

"That'...... So what to do? General Li didn't know that in just a few words, Lin Guogong had commented on him and General Mo, and at this time he frowned, obviously unable to think of any good plan.

"General Mo, what do you think?" Lin Guogong looked at General Mo on the side, this person had been watching from the wall from the beginning, but he wanted to have a place beside him, but he was unwilling to plan for him wholeheartedly.

How can there be such a good thing in this world?
