Chapter 835 Knocking

At this time, Shen Jin hadn't figured out why Song Sheng reprimanded him, and why he had to take back the peony picture by himself, in his opinion, there was nothing wrong with this painting, the peony was the king of flowers, and it was a match for His Majesty.

Shen Jin didn't know that the bad thing was on this king of flowers.

Peony is the king of flowers, usually used to symbolize the mother of the country and the queen, but the question is whether Tang Ling is the mother of the country and the queen? She is not, she is the supreme emperor.

Shen Jin used the peony picture as a gift, which is equivalent to belittling Tang Ling's identity, and going deeper, giving Tang Ling a peony picture has the implication of raising Shangguan Xiu as the emperor and degrading Tang Ling as the queen, which is to let Fengguo change his surname to Shangguan and change the dynasty.

Tang Ling turned her face in front of everyone at the banquet, which showed the anger in her heart at this time.

Seeing that Shen Jin was still staring at him blankly, and still hadn't come back to his senses, Song Sheng's nose was almost crooked, and he couldn't wait to rush over and slap them all and wake him up.

He took a deep breath, stood up, bowed to Tang Ling, and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Shen's daughter is not a big deal......

"Do you want to do more?" I have already done the courtesy, how can I do less and not more?" Tang Ling asked with a sinking face.

She took the peony picture from the female official's hand, and the more she looked at it, the more ironic she felt, she waved her hand and threw the peony picture down, and said: "Since you dare to use peony to satirize me, I don't need to ask for this pen hand of yours." ”heiyaпge

As soon as she finished speaking, a Praetorian Guard came up from the left and right sides, came to the daughter of the Shen family, couldn't help but speak, dragged it up and walked out. The daughter of the Shen family came back to her senses and shouted repeatedly: "Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life......

"Shut her up!" Tang Ling said coldly.

The two Praetorian Guards were not polite at all, and each waved their hands and slapped the daughter of the Shen family.

Shen Jin is the secretary of the Taishi Mansion, from the high-ranking official of the second grade, the daughter of the Shen family has grown up in a honey pot since she was a child, pampered, when was she beaten like this, two slaps went down, the whole pretty face was swollen so high, the mouth and nose were bleeding, her eyes were scattered, and she couldn't scream anymore.

Shen Jin's body was shocked, his eyes fell on the peony map, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he finally figured out what was going on, his head also buzzed, and he hurriedly came out of the ranks, knelt on the ground, kowtowed forward, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the dog girl was negligent for a while, and she has no intention of belittling Your Majesty, please be gracious!"

"If she is negligent, will your dignified Secretary of the Inner History Mansion also be negligent? I haven't punished you yet, but you have the cheekiness to plead with me? Come on, drag Shen Jin out, and the court staff will be fifty!" Tang Ling said categorically.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......" Shen Jin's face turned pale with fright, and he subconsciously looked at Song Sheng, hoping that Song Sheng would stand up and intercede for himself. Song Sheng also wanted to intercede for him, but seeing Tang Ling's face sinking like water, he swallowed back when his words came to his mouth.

is also a gift, the daughter of the Qiu family gave an embroidery of two dragons playing with pearls, which made the dragon's heart happy, and even willing to make an exception to personally preside over the gift for her, and the daughter of the Shen family gave a peony picture, which attracted the wrath of His Majesty, and even his father Shen Jin was implicated, and the two gifts were actually suspected of trespassing, but Tang Ling's attitude towards the second daughter was diametrically opposite.

Song Sheng is so smart that he can understand it at a point, he immediately realized that His Majesty was borrowing this matter to beat himself, as for why he was beating, he wanted to be inseparable from Shangguan Xiu.

Outside the banquet venue, there was a woman's scream, followed by the crackling sound of the court staff, which was mixed with the screams of Shen Jin's voice.

After a short time, a Praetorian Guard walked in from the outside with a tray in his hand, and on the tray was a shocking severed hand.

Tang Ling just glanced at it and waved his hand expressionlessly. The Praetorian Guard, carrying the tray, bowed and withdrew.

In the entire banquet hall, it was silent, whether it was the ministers or the minister's family, at this time, they were all sitting on pins and needles, sweating like rain, hanging their heads one by one, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

A young lady from the second grade of the family, just because she drew a wrong picture, she lost a hand, and her life was ruined, among the people present, there were both sighs and sighs, and there were also gloating, but no matter what the psychology of the people, there is now the same emotion, that is, fear.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, now it is vividly embodied, no matter how favored he is on weekdays, as long as the emperor is unhappy, as long as the emperor's words, his head may fall to the ground at any time.

Shen Jin, who was fifty years old, was dragged back from outside by the Praetorian Guards, and the official robe on his body had already been torn off, only wearing a white middle coat, and his back, buttocks, and thighs were stained with blood, and he was already beaten to delirium.

He was supported by two Praetorian Guards, his head drooping weakly, and he was in a semi-comatose state, but he still said intermittently: "Weichen...... Wechen knew that he was wrong...... Wechen knew that he was wrong......"

Tang Ling sat on the dragon chair, looked at him condescendingly, and said expressionlessly: "Send him back to the house to recuperate, order, be grounded for three months, think about it behind closed doors, think about it, what is wrong with you!"

As she spoke, she suddenly turned her head to look at Song Sheng, and asked with a smile, "Song Aiqing thinks that my punishment is too heavy?"

Song Sheng's body was shocked, and he hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty Shengming! If it weren't for Shen Jin's many years as an official and his dedication to his duties, he would have been punished with capital punishment a long time ago!"

When Tang Ling heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked, and said, "It's still Song Aiqing who knows what I mean." ”

After the Praetorian Guards dragged Shen Jin away, Tang Ling looked around at the people present, she couldn't see people's faces, she could only see the top of people's heads, she asked with a smile: "Just now, did I disturb your Aiqing's Yaxing?"

Everyone present bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise and decisive, and the ministers are extremely admired!"

When Tang Ling heard this, he smiled on his back, waved his hand to the palace maids on the left and right, and said, "Serve wine and food! Tonight, I want to get drunk with all of you!"

She changed her face quickly, like turning a book, she was a murderous tyrant just now, but now she has become a benevolent monarch with a pleasant face.

After the palace maids brought the wine and food, Han Ye was the first to raise his glass and said: "Ministers and other respects, I wish Your Majesty the Holy Body good health, longevity, and I wish me a strong wind, a thousand generations, and a prosperous country!"

With Han Ye taking the lead, everyone present also raised their glasses, learned Han Ye's words, and said them again in unison.

Tang Ling laughed, picked up the wine glass, saluted everyone on the left and right, and then drank the wine in the cup. After she put down her wine glass, she leaned over Shangguan Xiu and asked in a low voice, "Does Ah Xiu think Shen Jin should be punished?"

On the surface, she was punishing Shen Jin, but in fact, she was beating Song Sheng and warning him that he needed to restrain his behavior, which Shangguan Xiu could of course see, and he was more or less disappointed in his heart.

The case of the robbery of the official bank was led by Song Sheng behind the scenes, such a bold move, Tang Ling only beat it and did not investigate it deeply, how could Shangguan Xiu not be disappointed?

Shangguan Xiu smiled indifferently and said, "If you make a mistake once, Xiang'er will be punished like this, if you make it again, what should Xiang'er do?"

Tang Ling was silent, didn't speak for a long time, and when she and the ministers finished drinking the second glass of wine, she said quietly: "If you commit it again, I will not tolerate it!"

Shangguan Xiu didn't say anything more.

With a few glasses of wine, the banquet gradually returned to its original excitement. The ladies of the ministers' families have performed one after another, some playing the piano, some dancing, some chanting poems, and some of the endowments, and people have tried their best to perform well in front of His Majesty, and it is best to be rewarded by His Majesty.

It's a pity that there are not many people who can really please Tang Ling, and Tang Ling's reward for Qiu Xiuchun is just a pretense, and the person she really rewards is Qiu Yi.

Of the three powerful ministers in the court, only Qiu Yi got along with Shangguan Xiu the best and most harmoniously, which was the main reason why Tang Ling rewarded him.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more lively. Just when people were talking and laughing, King Ping's face was flushed, and he staggered to his feet, he arched his hand to Tang Ling, and said, "Your Majesty!"

Tang Ling smiled at him and asked, "Uncle Huang, is there something wrong?"

Tang Xuan borrowed a little drunkenness, turned his eyes to look at Shangguan Xiu, shook his head and said: "This king has always heard that Lord Shangguan is decisive in killing on the battlefield, can fight habitually, and gallops on the battlefield, no one is invincible, tonight it is rare for monarchs and ministers to gather together, I wonder if Lord Shangguan can show his skills for His Majesty and me, so that I can also have the opportunity to see the demeanor of Lord Shangguan?"

Hearing his words, everyone in the banquet stopped talking, and the venue suddenly became quiet, and people's eyes fell on Shangguan Xiu's body.

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said slowly: "The prince said that he laughed, martial arts are used to kill, not for performance, for people to enjoy and have fun." ”

"Yes, yes, what His Royal Highness said is very true!" Qiu Yi hurriedly stood up to play a round, and said with a smile on his face: "Today is the Full Moon Festival, a festive day, it is really not suitable for performing martial arts, not to mention, His Royal Highness is a dignified ...... of the country."

"What's wrong with Guogong? No matter how big Guogong is, can he still be as big as Your Majesty?Guogong's martial arts, can't Your Majesty still appreciate it?" Tang Xuan glanced at Qiu Yi and sneered, and then he continued to look at Shangguan Xiu and slapped his face.

Smack, smack!

With the high-fives, several warriors in their early thirties walked up behind Tang Xuan, intervened to give a salute, and said in unison, "Lord Wang!"

Tang Xuan said with a smile: "These people are all spiritual cultivators who came to join the king when he traveled the world, according to their own words, all of them have an outstanding and perfect spiritual martial arts, and this king doesn't know if it's true or not, can you ask Lord Shangguan to verify the truth of several of them on behalf of this king?"

Shangguan Xiu looked at Tang Xuan with a smile, and then at the row of warriors standing behind him, the smile on his face deepened, but the light in his eyes became sharper and sharper.

In his impression, he had not had much contact with the Peace King, let alone offended, and he didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong tonight, and why he suddenly attacked him.

Before Shangguan Xiu could speak, a warrior behind Tang Xuan stepped out of the ranks, bowed to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "Please give advice to His Royal Highness Guogong." ”
