He didn't care about getting dressed anymore, so he rolled down from the bed, knelt on the ground, kowtowed forward, and stammered, "The last general...... The last general will see His Highness, and the last general will not know that His Highness is coming, and the last general will ......"

Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu slapped another branch on his shoulder, and with a snap, the branch broke, and Guan Xi almost fell to the ground.

He was so painful that his face was covered with cold sweat, but he didn't dare to say a word, he knelt on the ground tremblingly, kowtowed forward again and again, and said urgently: "Your Highness spares your life, the last general will be confused for a while, Your Highness spares your life-"

Shangguan Xiu slammed half of the branch in his hand on Guan Xi's face, turned around and walked out, shouting without looking back: "Get dressed, get out of here!"

Seeing Shangguan Xiu coming out of the palace with a gloomy face, the people waiting outside understood what was going on even if they didn't go in to see. Zhao Chen stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Xiu doesn't need to be angry, the general is also confused for a while." ”

"Confused? Such a big matter, how can it be said that it can be ended with a fool?" Shangguan Xiu turned his head to look at Zhang Jiuwei and Liang Ying, and asked angrily: "What do you say, Lord Zhang? It's simply lawless, and he deserves to be punished!"

Liang Ying swallowed his spit, didn't say anything, and he couldn't interject. Zhang Jiuwei secretly said in his heart, with what Guanxi did, he should indeed be punished.

However, if Shangguan Xiu really wanted to kill Guan Xi, he didn't need to ask anyone's opinion at all, and he didn't need anyone's statement, he just needed to give an order, and he directly pulled Guan Xi out to ask for beheading.

Since Shangguan Xiu asked about his head, it was obvious that he didn't want to kill Guan Xi, he hoped that the big things would be small and the small things would be turned into small things, but Shangguan Xiu couldn't say this, and he would intercede by himself, a native of Ningnan, so he could just borrow the slope to get off the donkey.

Shangguan Xiu's maintenance and preference for his subordinates is really eye-catching, such a big thing happened, and he poked out such a big Lou Zi, he is still protecting Guan Xi!

Zhang Jiuwei has long lived a human spirit, no matter what happens, he can understand it at all. He secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, and he had to pretend to be serious on his face, and just as he was about to speak, Guan Xi was already disheveled and staggered out of the dormitory.

When he got outside, he knelt in front of Shangguan Xiu with a puff, snot and tears flowed down together, and before he could speak, he slapped himself first, crying and begging for mercy: "It's the last general who is obsessed with ghosts, and it's the last general who deserves death, please forgive your highness!"

Shangguan Xiu's anger was sky-high, which also made Guan Xi realize that the trouble he had caused this time was too big, and at this time he finally knew that he was afraid, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Glancing at him coldly, Shangguan Xiu put his hands behind his back, turned his body, and stopped looking at him.

Zhang Jiuwei cleared his throat and said, "General Guan did commit a big crime, but ...... But in the love of the official general's meritorious service to the country, he can make up for the merit, and I hope that His Royal Highness will bypass the capital crime of the official general this time!"

I didn't expect Zhang Jiuwei to intercede for Guan Xi, but it was the imperial concubine who was humiliated by Guan Xi, even if he had a hundred heads, it would not be enough to cut off! Liang Ying subconsciously looked at him.

Zhang Jiuwei squeezed out a wry smile at Xiangxiang, winked at him, and shook his head slightly, suggesting that he must not intervene at this time.

Hearing that someone pleaded for him, Guan Xi kowtowed again and again, choked and pleaded: "Your Highness spare your life, Your Highness spare your life-"

Shangguan Xiu raised his leg and kicked Guan Xi's chest, kicked him to the ground, and said in a cold voice: "For the sake of Lord Zhang's intercession for you, the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime is unforgivable, and the heavy responsibility is a hundred military sticks, Yufei, you personally supervise, if the person who executes the sentence dares to show mercy to his subordinates, he will be killed!"

After speaking, Shangguan Xiu didn't want to stay any longer, and strode out.

Guan Xi was stunned for a moment, and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness Xie for not killing, and the last general for His Highness Xie's grace not to kill!"

"You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank you, thank Master Zhang, if it weren't for Lord Zhang's intercession for you today, you would not be able to escape death!" Zhang Jiuwei gave himself steps and saved Guan Xi's life, and Shangguan Xiu naturally gave this favor to Zhang Jiuwei.

Zhang Jiuwei was so smart that he couldn't understand Shangguan Xiu's intentions, he caught up with him, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty has tormented Weichen." ”

"Lord Zhang doesn't have to be polite, it's really embarrassing that such an ugly thing happened to our army!" When such a thing happened, he didn't know what Guan Xi was doing in his heart, anyway, he, the general of the Wind Country and the prince of the Wind Country, was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.

A hundred military sticks, whether it is too much or too little, depends on the proportion of the person in charge of the punishment.

If you really want human life, fifty military sticks are enough to beat one person to death, if you don't want human life, even if two hundred military sticks are slapped down, the tortured person can still leave a breath of (sensitive) vitality, not hurt the muscles and bones, but suffer a little flesh and skin.

On the way back to the front palace, Zhang Jiuwei cautiously asked, "Your Highness, what should the imperial concubine do?"

Shangguan Xiu thought for a while and said, "This matter should not be spread outside, the imperial concubine should be appeased and settled." This matter is up to you, Master Zhang!"

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Xiu stuffed this hot potato to himself, the old man grinned secretly, and when he was thinking about how to reply, Shangguan Xiu reiterated: "I still say the same thing, this matter should not be spread outside, it will insult the reputation of our army, Lord Zhang is responsible for managing the mouth of the imperial concubine, if she refuses to shut up, then find a way to shut her up, in short, those who know the inside story will end here." ”

Zhang Jiuwei shuddered, nodded, bowed down and said, "Weichen understands. "What do you mean by finding a way to shut her up? To put it bluntly, it is to let him secretly execute the imperial concubine.

What Shangguan Xiu thought was that he sealed the mouth of the imperial concubine and scolded Guan Xi with a hundred military sticks, but the big things turned into small things and small things, but the development of things did not go as he imagined.

The official humiliated the imperial concubine, and he was upside down in the Fengyi Palace of the palace, and the matter soon spread to Shangjing.

Tang Ling's reaction when he heard about this was that he was furious.

If Guan Xi dragged the imperial concubine outside the palace, no matter what he did, Tang Ling would not have any opinions, but in the palace, on the dragon bed, doing things with the imperial concubine, what was he going to do? Do you want to be the emperor of Ningnan?

It was not easy for his side to lay Tianjing, laying the cornerstone for dominating the world, Tang Ling did not allow any mistakes at this time, let alone any hidden dangers, the boldness of the official was so bold that Tang Ling had to be suspicious.

Once the emperor is jealous and jealous, how can he be good as a courtier?

Because Shangguan Xiu had already punished Guan Xi at that time, Tang Ling also took into account Shangguan Xiu's face, and did not directly issue a holy decree to execute Guan Xi.

She sent Cai Xiao, the first auxiliary minister, and Tang Mingzhu, the minister of parliament, to Tianjing to assist Shangguan Xiu and set up the governor's palace in Tianjing, and You Ling, the general capital of the Duwei Mansion, accompanied her escort.

Among them, in addition to being responsible for protecting the safety of Cai Xiao and Tang Mingzhu, You Ling's other secret mission was to execute Guan Xi with a secret edict. In Tang Ling's words, the wolf's ambition must not be kept.

I'm afraid that Guan Xi never dreamed that he would let the emperor of his country mark him with the conclusion that 'wolf ambition must not be kept' just because of the trouble caused by his momentary lust.

Of course, there is a reason why Tang Ling wants to send Cai Xiao and Tang Mingzhu to assist Shangguan Xiu, Tang Ling is very satisfied with the results of his last visit to Duji, in her opinion, Cai Xiao and Tang Mingzhu are both very good people.

The establishment of the Governor's Mansion is equivalent to the establishment of a new imperial court in Ningnan, which is very important, and with the two of them by his side to assist Shangguanxiu, Tang Ling can also be more assured.

In addition, Tang Ling himself also planned to inspect Tianjing in person, and Cai Xiao and Tang Mingzhu's first step was just enough to give her a head start and take a trip to Tianjing in advance.

Let's talk about Shangguan Xiu, when he returned to the Taihe Treasure Hall in the front palace, it didn't take long for Xiao Jue to invite Peng Zhuo, Li Fan, Xiang Zhao, Jian Li, and Jun Shengnan.

Among the five, Peng Zhuo, who is the Minister of Agriculture, is the oldest, in his fifties, Jun Shengnan is in his early forties, and the other three Li Fan are all in their thirties and are in the prime of life.

Shangguan Xiu looked at the five people silently, but did not speak, waiting to see how they reacted. Peng Zhuo was the first to bow to Shangguan Xiu and said, "Grass people Peng Zhuo, see His Royal Highness the Duke of Fengguo!"

Peng Zhuo's opening remarks made Shangguan Xiu squint slightly. Immediately afterwards, the four of Jun Shengnan also regarded themselves as grass people, and bowed to Shangguanxiu one after another.

They are officials of the Haotian Kingdom, but now that the emperor of the Haotian Kingdom has collapsed, the imperial court has collapsed, and they exist in name only, in the eyes of the Wind Kingdom, they are naturally not officials, and it is most suitable to regard themselves as grass people.

However, in Shangguan Xiu's ears, he had the feeling that none of these people intended to play for the Wind Country. He turned his head to look at Zhang Jiuwei, as if asking, is this the person you recommended to me? Zhang Jiuwei stood with his head down, pretending not to see Shangguan Xiu's questioning.

Shangguan Xiu cleared his throat, waved his hand to the five people, and said indifferently: "The five adults don't have to be polite. ”

When Peng Zhuo heard this, he immediately bowed down and said, "Your Highness has tormented the grass people. ”

Shangguan Xiu secretly said that he was old and stubborn! He said faintly: "Minister of Agriculture, it is related to the people's livelihood, it is the country's grain bag, the country can have no king, but there must be no Minister of Agriculture, what does Master Peng think?"

Peng Zhuo's body was shocked, and he lowered his head and said: "Your Highness is insightful, and the grass people dare not have objections. ”

Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows, walked up to Peng Zhuo, and asked, "Is Master Peng pretending to be confused with me, or is my words not straightforward enough?"

Peng Zhuo was stunned and said puzzledly: "The grass people don't understand the meaning of His Highness. ”

Shangguan Xiu looked at Peng Zhuo coldly, and after a while, he took a deep breath and said, "I intend to let Master Peng continue to serve as the Minister of Agriculture, I wonder if Lord Peng is willing?"

Peng Zhuo was surprised: "Your Highness wants to be the emperor in Tianjing?"

Shangguan Xiu's face was at a loss, is there a relationship between his desire to continue to appoint Peng Zhuo and his desire to be emperor in Tianjing? ”

Peng Zhuo asked again, "So, does His Highness plan to set up a new monarch in Tianjing?"

"No, there isn't. ”

"So, Your Highness is going to tell the grass people that there will be two ministers of agriculture in the future in the Wind Country?" asked Peng Zhuo curiously.

When he said this, he made Shangguan Xiu speechless, and also asked the question that gave Shangguan Xiu the most headache.

The Shangjing Imperial Court was too far away to manage the 36 counties in Ningnan, and it was inevitable to set up a central administrative body in Tianjing, but the state could not have two imperial courts, nor could there be two ministers of the first and auxiliary courts, the minister of the seal, the minister of internal history, the minister of agriculture, the minister of finance, and so on.

Seeing that Shangguan Xiu was silent, Peng Zhuo shrugged his shoulders and said: "There can't be two ministers of agriculture in the country of wind, so what kind of position does His Highness plan to give to the grass people, and how can the grass people be the ministers of agriculture and manage the agriculture affairs of the thirty-six counties?"

Shangguan Xiu smiled and smiled bitterly, it seemed that Peng Zhuo didn't want to serve the Wind Country, but was looking at what kind of official position he wanted to give him.

He took a deep breath, pondered for a long time, and said word by word: "I plan to set up the Governor's Mansion in Tianjing according to Lord Zhang's proposal, and I hope that Lord Peng will serve as the Minister of Agriculture in the Governor's Palace, I don't know what Lord Peng thinks?"
