"Ah!!h

Tang Huaibi collapsed to the ground with a scream, his eyes widened and he pointed his finger at Xue Shao, gritted his teeth and said, "I, I am a member of the fourth grade!" Even if he commits a capital crime, he must be reviewed by the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Criminal Department, and then wait for the emperor's majesty to personally approve it, and he can not be beheaded until after the autumn! ”

"Ho!"

Xue Shao smiled, "When the marshal went on the expedition, he was given an axe by the emperor, and under the rule of our army, from now on, it will be under the system of the heavenly marshal, and from now on, it will be under the earth's marshal system!" -- Military law is like a mountain, why kill you?! ”

Tang Huaibi was dumbfounded, "You, you're making a big fuss!" You, you declare a personal vendetta! ”

Xue Shao sneered, walked up to Tang Huaibi and bent down to stare at him coldly, and whispered: "Heaven is evil, it is still against it; You will not live! ”

"Kill him!!" The soldiers of the battalion shouted in unison, full of anger!

Tang Huaibi's face was full of death, his eyes were full of horror, staring at Xue Shao, and finally sat down in despair.

"Kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, play beautifully......" Tang Huaibi lowered his head and kept smirking, and said to himself, "Tang Huaibi, Tang Huaibi, you are not dying of stupidity and incompetence, on the contrary, you are dying of shrewdness and sophistication!" ”

"Congratulations to you Tang Changshi, in the next life, maybe you can be a person with a conscience and blood. Don't be like this in this life, good at drilling camp and only seeking personal gain! Xue Shao stood up and waved his hand, "Chao Wen said, you can die at night." Send Tang Changshi and hit the road! ”

"Yes!" Four warriors armed with military sticks stepped forward, and Tang Huaibi was tied to the torture rack and stripped off his clothes and pants.

"Before I die, I have one last question!" Tang Huaibi suddenly shouted.

Xue Shao smiled coldly, "It's a pity that you don't deserve to talk to me anymore." ”

The torture sergeant wanted to block Tang Huaibi's mouth with a piece of cloth, Tang Huaibi struggled desperately to move his mouth and bite people to get a moment of respite, and shouted: "Sue me, if I wasn't promoted by Pei Yan, would you still kill me?" ”

As soon as this question came out, everyone was stunned.

Xue Shao sneered and said loudly: "Even if my own father is reincarnated, even if the enemy crosses the border without resistance, it is the same capital crime!" ”

Tang Huaibi wanted to scream again, but he was beaten dizzy by a few ear scrapers from the torture sergeant, and he was gagged and speechless.

Then, the sound of the beating of the big army stick rang out.

Xue Shao sat on the top of the handsome seat, and the soldiers of the battalion watched the execution together. The torture sergeant held his stomach and started to do it ruthlessly, beating Tang Huaibi so much that he was urinating and begging to die quickly.

In less than twenty sticks, Tang Huaibi lowered his head and stopped moving, and if he didn't die, he only had half a breath left.

"After the cane is killed, the head will be executed, and its head will be displayed throughout the army and all the states and counties under the rule of the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion to set an example! Subsequently, the head was sent to Luoyang and his crimes were reported to the imperial court, and the world was edicted! Xue Shao stood up and said loudly, "Pass on my strict order, from now on, all the officials under the Governor's Mansion, who dares to eliminate the accumulation of labor and dereliction of duty, will be severely punished!" ”

"From now on, even if another Turkic rebel is released to cross Shuofang and harm the people, Xue Shao will punish himself to thank the world - you guys, don't think about it!!"

"No-!"

The whole army is purged!!

……

The next day, Tang Huaibi's head was reported to the three armies, and all the soldiers were solemn. When the officials under the Governor's Mansion heard about this, they were all terrified and even almost frightened, and they all agreed that Xue Shao was a fierce man! Ruthless!

Time is pressing, and the Shuofang army will leave for the Fengzhou battlefield at dawn tomorrow. Xue Shao is also the governor of Xiazhou, but he has no time to manage the government affairs and people's livelihood under his rule. So he urgently recruited the officials of the Governor's Mansion to come to the barracks to discuss matters, and he had to make the next explanation.

The officials came to the barracks, all shivering.

Xue Shao deliberately took off his military uniform and wore a purple official uniform, receiving these officials with a smile. But the officials are still terrified, even a battlefield general like Ashina Zhongjie, who kills people and does a lot of blood, now he doesn't dare to breathe in front of Xue Shao.

"Relax, all relax." Xue Shao smiled and said, "This official is not a man-eating demon king, so there is no need to be so afraid. ”

Everyone laughed dryly, and the atmosphere was finally a little lighter.

Xue Shao said: "Tang Huaibi neglected his duty to set the enemy across the border, and led the Turkic rebels to poison the hinterland of Guanlong, and the Tang Dynasty suffered heavy losses. This is his fault alone, and it has nothing to do with you. Therefore, you need not be alarmed. As long as you are conscientious and diligent in your work in the future, this official will also be rewarded and promoted. This official is from a military background, and he has always asked for a clear reward and punishment! ”

As soon as the officials heard this, their hearts finally fell to the ground - fortunately, Xue Shao had no plans to make a big deal out of it!

"I'll wait, and we will only see the head of the horse!" Officials have expressed their positions.

Xue Shao smiled and nodded, and said, "In the future, we will work together for a long time. I hope that all my colleagues can achieve something, and I hope that Xiazhou can be under our governance, and the people will be rich and strong, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the enemy will be frightened! ”

"Swear to follow Xue Dudu to the death, and go all out to be loyal to your duties!" All the officials were quite conscious and expressed their determination.

"Good." Xue Shao nodded and smiled, and said, "My colleagues don't know me yet, and when we meet for the first time today, I can briefly introduce myself." Although Xue was born in a noble family of poetry and books, and also held many civilian positions, I am essentially a soldier. I'm used to going straight and looking at the board, and I don't like to play with the void, and I don't like to blow the whiskers and slap the horse and show off the tongue. Therefore, if all my colleagues want to get along in the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion, it is useless to please anyone, they have to show me real political achievements. I have one of the most basic employment criteria, survival of the fittest. Where the official position will be in the position, the capable will live in it, and the incompetent will go to it! Ladies and gentlemen, are you all clear? ”

"Clear!" Everyone agreed together, thinking that this new governor was really a real man!

"That's the end of my new official's speech." Xue Shao said, "The battle situation on the front line is like fire, and I will lead the army to attack tomorrow, so I have no time to take care of the government affairs of the Governor's Mansion for the time being, so I have to ask the princes to work hard!" ”

"Willing to serve the governor!"

Xue Shao nodded and said, "The former chief Shi Tang Huaibi has been ambushed for his crimes, and now, I want my marching secretary Liu Youqiu to temporarily take up his post." I don't know if you have any opinions, or if you have a better candidate? ”

"It's all up to the governor to arrange, and we will support it!" The officials smiled bitterly in their hearts at the same time, are you stupid for us?

"In this way, I will temporarily set this expedient measure, so that Liu Youqiu can temporarily exercise the power of his own official in the position of Changshi, and oversee the overall situation of the government affairs of the Governor's Mansion. In addition, Ashina Zhongjie still stayed in Shuofang Military Town, responsible for the transfer of logistics grain and grass. Xue Shao smiled and bowed to the officials, "The matter of Xiazhou is fully entrusted to the princes!" ”

The officials hurriedly returned the salute, and some of them even had weak knees and were almost about to kneel!

Niu Ben, who was standing behind Xue Shao like King Kong, saw this scene, grinned stupidly, and said in his heart that he slaughtered a dog official yesterday, and so many dog officials today are all frightened!

It's fun!

The generals were already a little stunned when they saw such a second King Kong standing behind Xue Shao, and when they saw him smirking vigorously, they couldn't help but wonder, and said in their hearts, why did Xue Shao get such a strange thing to be a guard?

Niu Ben seemed to realize the suspicion and ridicule of these people, and glared at him with murderous anger, and scared many people on the spot so much that they didn't dare to look directly at him anymore, and the audience suddenly became silent!

Xue Shao noticed that he glanced back at Niu Ben, and Niu Ben immediately turned his face into a mud fetus Bodhisattva with his face in front of him, and his eyes didn't dare to move.

All the officials were shocked, and said in their hearts that Xue Shao really had a "general", and it was enough to suppress such a murderous King Kong man!

At the end of the meeting, the officials dispersed one by one, and many of them were drenched with sweat, and they left as if they had been amnestied.

With no one around, Xue Shao sat down and took a long breath.

Guo Yuanzhen personally brought Xue Shao a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Yesterday's knife can be regarded as scaring those officials miserably." Look at them one by one today, all like little daughters-in-law who have been abused all night and have not stopped. ”

Xue Shao was amused, "Dare you to specialize in this kind of thing in the past, so you are very experienced?" ”

"How can a decent gentleman like me be?" Guo Yuanzhen also smiled and said, "Having said that, Tang Huaibi should be killed, but if he is slaughtered in such a way at this time, will there be any trouble?" ”

"Could it be that you also think that I should be frightened by the Queen Mother and Pei Yan who he moved out?" Xue Shao sneered.

"It's definitely not your character." Guo Yuanzhen said, "I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will know that she is unhappy, and Pei Yan will be even more angry." If you offend the Queen Mother or provoke Pei Yan's counterattack because of this, I feel like it's a bit worth the loss. ”

"On the contrary, I think that Tang Huaibi's head will be of great benefit in addition to commanding the three armies and purging the official style." Xue Shao said.

"How?" Guo Yuanzhen asked curiously.

Xue Shao smiled slightly, and said: "Longyou Horse Supervisor and Sanzhou have suffered a severe military disaster, and the imperial court has not ordered the investigation of responsibility for such a large basket until now, which is not in line with the consistent style of the imperial court. ”

Guo Yuanzhen's eyes lit up, "Yes, but if something goes wrong, someone must stand up and be responsible." But this time the mess is so big, who can be responsible? ”

"Actually, if you really want to calculate it, this account must be calculated on Pei Yan's head." Xue Shao said, "If he hadn't stopped our expedition to the west, Wang Fangyi and the Anxi Tiger Division would not have been transferred to the Western Regions, and then the defense of the Shuo army would not have been weak, and the Turks would have taken advantage of it." ”

"But Pei Yan will definitely not take such a responsibility!" Guo Yuanzhen shook his head, "Otherwise, his prime minister can be regarded as the best!" ”

"Therefore, Pei Yan will definitely find someone to come out and carry this big black cauldron for him." Xue Shao said, "But this person will definitely not be Tang Huaibi." ”

"Yes!" Guo Yuanzhen nodded, "Tang Huaibi is the person who Pei Yan personally promoted in order to flatter the Queen Mother. If Tang Huaibi is pushed out to confess his guilt, then Pei Yan will also be jointly and severally liable. ”

"That's not it, I'm the new governor of Xiazhou, right?" Xue Shao asked with a smile.

"That's right!" Guo Yuanzhen nodded again, "When the accident happened, we hadn't arrived in Xiazhou yet!" ”

"Then who else can Pei Yan calculate?" Xue Shao asked rhetorically.

Guo Yuanzhen patted his head, "Of course it's Wang Fangyi!" - He is the former governor of Xiazhou, and he arranged for Shuofang to stay behind! ”

"That's right. The power conspiracy of transferring flowers and grafting trees refers to the power of the deer as a horse, and Pei Yan has always been familiar with it. Xue Shao said, "Then you say, is it worth using Tang Huaibi's dog head to exchange for the peace of the old general Wang Fangyi and the smooth progress of the war in the Western Regions?" ”

"It's worth it anymore!" Guo Yuanzhen smiled, "It turns out that the dog's head is so useful!" The most satisfying thing is to be able to shame Pei Yan ruthlessly - look at what kind of birdman he has promoted to be the governor of Xia. So selfish and incompetent, so that it harms the society and poisons the people! ”

Xue Shao smiled and said nothing, saying that Pei Yan has become more and more arrogant recently, and if he continues like this, even the Queen Mother will be a little unable to hold him down. Tang Huaibi's dog head may be able to make him feel a chill in his heart. If the Queen Mother wants to beat Pei Yan, this will also be a good opportunity to justify it!
