Chapter 069: Removal of official status
Hearing Xiao Yi say this, Hui Chang's heart was about to jump to his throat.
"It is because of this incompetent person that the king's palace has become a place of searching, flowering, and willows. Xiao Yi waved his hand, and the people brought by Zhan Xiao immediately set up Hui Chang.
Where did Hui Chang receive such a punishment, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy: "The king spares his life, Niangniang, save me!"
Mei Ji then wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and turned her head to the side, not looking at Hui Chang.
Hui Chang was slightly stunned, and then he realized that he was already an outcast in Meiji.
Ever since Xiao Qi appeared and pulled Chun Yumin to work for Mei Ji together, she has been completely set aside. Now, she is completely useless to Mei Ji, and Mei Ji is going to kick her away.
Hui Chang's heart felt like falling into an ice cave, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
She didn't know where she had offended Mei Ji.
Since she reached an alliance with Mei Ji, she has done her best for Mei Ji, and she has never shirked the blame, how could she end up like this now?
Hui Chang really couldn't figure it out.
Xiao Yi asked the three guards again: "Do you have anything to say about today's events?"
The three guards glanced at each other, knowing that they had made a big mistake, and no one dared to say anything. Moreover, this time it was King Duan who interrogated him personally, and they didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Xiao Yi even if they wanted to refute something.
"If you don't speak, you have admitted your crimes?" Xiao Yi took a deep breath and said, "The guards responsible for the security of Fengtian Pavilion are not the only three of you, since there are guards who often break into the palace, it is definitely not just the three of you. Now, this king gives you an opportunity to atone for your crimes, and tell me who is among those who are behind you who have done this filthy deed, and to name them, and this king promises you that he may lighten your guilt. ”
Xiao Yi got to the bottom of it, and looked like he would not give up without investigating clearly.
The guards trembled.
You know, few of them are clean, and who can guarantee that they are clean when they live in a puddle of sewage.
The three guards were pushed to the forefront, with Duan Wang in front and brothers in their own team in the back. The young guard thought about it, and was about to say something, but was glared at by the older guard, and hurriedly swallowed back.
Today, Xiao Yi's thunderous anger is definitely punished. However, the other party is still just a slave, and although he has shed blood, he has not been killed in the end. You can't really kill a few slaves for the sake of them.
It's not a capital crime, it's the pain of flesh and skin, and the great lords can't eat any suffering.
They just take it.
But the others can be named, they are punished and still can't survive in the ranks, and the guards whose names they point out will definitely isolate them and never befriend them again.
They are not fools, how can they not understand such accounts.
You know, in a place like a guard or a barracks, being isolated by your teammates means having no future, and ruining your future is not stupid.
In front of the Hunan and Chu people, of course, they have to face the Chu people.
Seeing that they didn't plan to say it, Xiao Yi sneered for a while.
"Mei Ji is a good Hunan person, but she is also a person from this king. Fengtian Pavilion is the courtyard given to her by this king, and it is her place. You are so blind that you don't take Mei Ji in your eyes, but you also treat the king's orders as nothing, which is simply arrogant. You claim to be official, but you don't know how to use and pass on your official status. With such no respect, there is really no need to continue to stay in the palace. Go and get fifty boards each, then hand in the official seal, and go to the barracks again to practice. If you are not allowed to suffer from the dust, you will think how easy it is to pass on the official status of your ancestors. ”
"The king forgives the sins, the king forgives the sins!"
The three guards were dumbfounded.
Xiao Yi means to cut off the official status.
You must know that their official records were all handed down from their ancestors, and with their merits, they were able to enter the Duanwang Palace as a guard. If ordinary people want to get official status, they must make great achievements in order to report to the pavilion chief, and the pavilion chief will be sorted according to their respective merits, and only with the quota can they be reported to the imperial court, and they will be approved layer by layer, and they will be stamped with the holy seal of Emperor Chu in order to be effective.
It is extremely cumbersome and not easy.
What's more, they have now been stripped of their official status. Then they, and their next generation, must make more efforts if they want to regain their official status.
It can be said that there will be three more generations, and it will be impossible for anyone to be an official again.
Although he did not lose his life, this crime of endangering his descendants and insulting his ancestors is already more cruel than losing his head.
Instead of this, it is better to cut off the head and be happy.
"When this king sent you to Fengtian Pavilion, you must have already had a grudge in your hearts and secretly mocked it. In the past, the king ignored it because he didn't think it was necessary. You are the guards of Da Chu, the people carefully selected by this king, you must be very loyal, and when you think about it, you will have contempt in your heart, and you will not act excessively. ”
"But this king did not expect that you would do such a filthy act and bully women under the influence of your official status. The Hunan and Chu people are all human beings, and there are rules that are not allowed to insult enemy prisoners during the war, but you are openly entering the Fengtian Pavilion to vent under the banner of this king, which is simply inhumane and outrageous, how can you still tolerate people like you in the palace of this king and in the army of Duanguo!"
Xiao Yi's very majestic voice made everyone say yes.
Such a disposition was unexpected by everyone, and it was also expected by everyone.
There are too many whispers about Mei Ji in the palace, Xiao Yi has long wanted to clean it up, this is an opportunity to kill the chicken and show the monkey.
"War General. Xiao Yi ordered.
"Yes. ”
"The guards of Fengtian Pavilion really can't be used anymore, you personally select people and replace them with a new wave, as for these people, since they don't know who did it and who didn't, they all treat it as if they did it. Sent directly to the army, it is good to sharpen it. It is bound to make them understand that the two armies are fighting and not insulting the weakness of the people. This matter is up to you personally, the rules of Fengtian Pavilion are not good, and this king will personally set it up. ”
"Yes!"
Zhan Xiao answered.
"You remember, the official title is the merit of the ancestors, the glory of the family, and the saint himself stamped to commend your bravery and fearlessness as a Chu person. This is the glory of the family, not a tool to show off, nor a reason to bully the weak. After a one-year truce, the situation has just calmed down, and it is a good time to recuperate. What you do in the palace will more or less spread to the people. If it is known that even the palace is like this, how can the Hunan people who have not yet been conquered be convinced of the Chu people? The battle of the poor and the fearless casualties, is it what you want in your heart? What is the difference between trespassing in Fengtian Pavilion and humiliating slaves and robbing people's daughters? The Chu people are not bandits! Go to the army and have a good experience, if you don't understand this truth all the time, you won't come back for the rest of your life! By the side of this king, there is no need for people who are proud of their achievements!"
The guards immediately fell to their knees and said yes, and not a single one of them complained.
