Ziyin pondered for a moment, and said to Guangfang: "If General Fang must report, report it privately, and don't report it in front of the generals." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
"Why is that?" Guangfang is straight, not as many flowery intestines as Ziyin, and far less thoughtful than him. Ziyin smiled and said, "General Fang just needs to do what I say, and he won't suffer." β
Guangfang muttered dissatisfiedly: "As far as you have a lot to do, you are afraid of wolves and tigers in everything you do." β
Ziyin smiled bitterly, didn't I think about you too?
Guangfang was very dissatisfied with Ziyin's concerns, but he still listened to Ziyin's opinion and reported the matter to Shangguanxiu in private. Guangfang is a straight person, and his mind is often short-circuited, and there are always times when he is not bright, but he has an advantage, he can listen to the good words of others in his favor, and because of this, he and Cai Dang Ziyin got along very well from the beginning, and he also obeyed his words and plans for the advice given to him.
Of course, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and the style of doing things hated by Ziyin should have had a great impact on Guangfang.
Shangguan Xiu was also very angry after listening to Guangfang's report, he was not angry that Luo Ren and An Yifu sent food to the rebels, their sympathy for the rebels was caused by the background of the two of them, and he could understand it, but Luo Ren was rude to this matter, which touched Shangguan Xiu's bottom line.
At the beginning of the establishment of the gendarmerie, he had already made it clear to the generals under his command that the gendarmerie should enforce the law in the army, strictly enforce military rules and discipline, and no one should obstruct it. heiyaΠΏge
On this occasion, when the gendarmerie did not do anything wrong, Luo Ren acted rudely to the deputy captain of the gendarmerie in public, and this was not tantamount to slapping the gendarmerie in the face in front of the officers and men of the whole army? Who will abide by discipline and law in the future, and who will obey the law enforcement of the gendarmerie, and Luo Ren is demolishing not only the gendarmerie but also his platform.
At the meeting of the Chinese army the next day, Shangguan Xiu did not mention that Luo Ren and An Yifu sent food to the rebels, but reprimanded Luo Ren in public that he should not have clashed with the gendarmerie when they were enforcing the law, and ordered the military police to punish Luo Ren with 200 military sticks as a warning.
Shangguan Xiu's decision made all the generals in the Chinese military tent dumbfounded, Luo Ren is the closest cronie to the adult, and when the adult is not in the army, the affairs of the whole army are taken care of by Luo Ren, as if he has become the successor designated by the adult, but with Luo Ren's unique identity, in the case of a conflict with the gendarmerie, he will be punished, and if others do the same, the degree of punishment may be heavy.
People were secretly speechless, drooping their heads one by one, and they didn't dare to breathe. Zhan Xiong cleared his throat and said to Shangguan Xiu: "Brother Xiu, even if Ah Ren has done something wrong, but ...... The punishment of 200 sticks is too heavy. β
Luo Ren and Zhan Xiong just have political disagreements, and they often fight for blushing and thick necks, but their private friendship is still extremely deep, and now seeing Luo endure the punishment, Zhan Xiong is the first to stand up and plead.
Shangguan Xiu glanced at Zhan Xiong and asked slowly, "General Zhan wants me to bend the law for personal gain?"
His words frightened Zhan Xiong into shrinking his neck, and the body that had just stood up immediately sat back again, not daring to say anything more.
The generals in the crowd turned their eyes, gently pulled the corners of the clothes around him without leaving a trace, and secretly pouted to Shangguan Xiu.
He should have understood, he stepped out of the ranks, intervened in the salute, and said: "My lord, yesterday's incident, you can't blame General Luo, there are also inappropriate, perhaps, the attitude at that time was too aggressive, causing General Luo to suddenly get angry, and please take back your life, for the time being, forgive General Luo this time!"
Unexpectedly, he was willing to stand up and intercede for himself, and Luo Ren was really surprised. Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "So that's the case." Don't you resent General Luo for being rude to you?"
He waved his hand again and again and said: "General Luo and his subordinates only have friction on official business, and there is no gap in private, so how can there be resentment? This time the responsibility is indeed not all on General Luo, and I ask my lord to deal with it lightly." β
"Hmm. Shangguan Xiu nodded, raised his hand and pointed at Guidang, and said calmly to Luo Ren: "Ah Ren, listen to what Guidang said, as a senior in the army, don't you have the broad-mindedness of a junior?"
Old Luo Ren's face turned red, lowered his head, and whispered: "Brother Xiu, I was wrong, I am willing to be punished." β
"It's good to know the mistake, but the punishment is indispensable, the military stick still has to be beaten, and two hundred is changed to one hundred. After speaking, Shangguan Xiu turned his head to look at Guangfang and said, "Fang, you arrange for the gendarme to enforce the law!"
"Yes, my lord!" Guangfang intervened, waved to the gendarmes outside the tent of the Chinese army, and two gendarmes walked in from the outside and took Luo Ren out.
Guangfang then also walked out of the Zhongjun tent, and Ziyin hurriedly bowed his hand to Shangguanxiu: "My lord, my subordinates also go out to have a look." Seeing Shangguan Xiu nodding, Ziyin walked away quickly.
He was really afraid that Guangfang would take matters into his own hands and let the gendarmes be ruthless and beat these hundred military sticks to death, even if Luo Ren was a spiritual cultivator, in the absence of spiritual armor to protect his body, the heavy hand of a hundred military sticks could cripple him.
Ziyin was too worried this time, Guangfang was just straight, not stupid, how could he let the gendarmes of his hands be heavy-handed.
Although there was mercy, after a hundred military sticks, Luo Ren's ass was still beaten to the flesh and was carried back to the sleeping tent by the soldiers.
Cao Lei, Yuan Muding, Leng Jia Caixuan and others all came to visit, and when they saw Luo Ren lying on the bed, with a pillow on his lower abdomen and his buttocks pouting upward, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Luo Ren turned his head to look at them, and said angrily: "I'm like this, are you still embarrassed to laugh?"
Listening to him when he spoke, his voice was full of energy, and his voice was loud, knowing that he was fine, just a little flesh injury, Jia Caixuan yawned and said listlessly: "Since there is nothing wrong, I will go back to sleep." When Ding Leng heard this, he immediately answered: "I'll send you." β
"You stay with Ah Ren!" "You said he's fine." "I guess I won't be able to bed for a month. "It's only been a month?"
While the two of them were talking, they walked out of the camp tent, Luo Ren was so angry that he pulled out the pillow in his lower abdomen, threw it out, and yelled at the door curtain of the camp tent: "You two are still not human, do you still have a conscience?"
Cao Lei and Yuan Mu, who were standing next to the bed, grinned, looked down at the injury on his buttocks, and made a tsk from time to time, saying: "Brother Xiu is really not polite this time, it seems that you have pissed off Brother Xiu this time!"
Luo Ren took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied with the gendarmerie, it's just that the situation at that time was too infuriating. β
Cao Lei picked up the gold sore medicine from the side and said, "Ah Ren, you bear with it, I'll help you take the medicine." β
"Hmm. Luo Ren just answered, and then let out a scream like killing a pig. Cao Lei's fingers were like iron rods, pressing on his buttocks, and Luo Ren was so painful that tears almost spurted out. He gritted his teeth and said, "I said can you lighten it, my ass was not opened, and you stabbed it to bloom!"
In his dissatisfied shout, he felt that the strength of the medicine on his buttocks was really much lighter, and the gold sore medicine was rubbed on the wound, it was not a hot pain, there was a comfortable cool feeling. He breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, "You finally have a little conscience. β
"If I don't punish you, then I have no conscience!"
Hearing that Shangguan Xiu's voice suddenly came from behind, Luo Ren's body was shocked, he hurriedly turned his head to look, and at some point, Shangguan Xiu was already standing on the edge of the bed, bending over, and applying gold sore medicine to him with a serious face. Cao Lei and Yuan Mu stood aside and watched with a smile.
"Brother Xiu, you ...... Why are you here......" Luo Ren was about to get up from the bed, Shangguan Xiu pressed his shoulders and said, "Lie down, don't move." He stopped Luo Ren, who was about to get up, and continued to carefully apply the medicine to the wound, saying: "If the military discipline is not strict, the military spirit will be weakened, and the military spirit will be scattered, and when it is incorporated into the Central Army in the future, it is not certain who the Zhenjun Army is." β
"Brother Xiu means that the Zhenjun Army will be incorporated into the Central Army?"
"Do you think the imperial court will tolerate the existence of an army of 400,000 in Zhenjun?" Shangguan Xiu smiled and said: "The Zhenjun army is not only mine, but also yours, and it is the brothers of Lao Cao Amu, if we don't even love it ourselves, who else will love it? The existence of the gendarmerie is to explain military discipline, and second, to enable us to better and more comprehensively control the officers and men of the whole army. It's too late for us to maintain such an important link, so how can you take the lead in destroying it?"
I see. Luo Ren's face was red, his ears were red, his head was lowered, and he was almost buried in the futon. He whispered, "Brother Xiu, I know it's wrong. β
"This time I punished you, not just because of the gendarmerie. β
"Also, and what about me delivering food to the rebels?"
Shangguan Xiu smiled and said meaningfully: "It's to give you a time to rest." In this month's time, you can't get out of bed, no matter how cruel the Zhenjun army uses to deal with the rebels, it has nothing to do with you. It is good for me to carry the infamy alone, and I can do it alone, and among my brothers, there must be one who can be respected by the people of heaven, and if one day I am gone, he can naturally take my place and complete the things that I have not been able to accomplish on my behalf. β
Among the rebels, there are too many Jianghu sects involved, Shangguan Xiu understands that after he annihilates the rebels, he will not only become a sinner in the eyes of the people, but also become a thorn in the side of the Jianghu sect, and I don't know how many people will rack their brains to take their heads. It's easy to dodge open guns and hard to defend against hidden arrows, and he has to prepare for the worst.
Shangguan Xiu's heartfelt words made Luo Ren Cao Lei Yuan Mu and Xiao Jue Wu Yufei present have red eyes, Cao Lei grinned widely, and choked with crying: "Brother Xiu will not die, if anyone wants to kill Brother Xiu, he must first step on my old Cao's corpse!"
Luo Ren even scratched his intestines, and tears rolled out involuntarily.
Shangguan Xiu gently helped him apply the medicine, and muttered: "I don't know how long this battle will take, originally, I planned to punish you with two hundred military sticks to let you lie on the bed longer, but I was suddenly reluctant, and I was afraid that they would hurt you too badly......"
Hearing his words, Luo Ren was already crying silently, and everyone around him was constantly wiping their tears. Shangguan Xiu came back to his senses, looked around, smiled, and said, "What are you doing, Ah Ren is fine, the injury is not serious." Fang's temperament is too straight, as if there is a Ziyin by his side, which saves me a lot of heart. β
Everyone looked at the smiling Shangguan Xiu, and looked at the bright smile on his face, but there was an indescribable sense of distress in their hearts.
Most people can only see his current prominent position, and how many people can see the pressure he is facing; most people only think that he is a capricious, insidious, vicious, and despicable villain who covets the position of the country, and how many people can see the tender side of him who cares about all aspects to pave the way for his brothers, and the righteous side that is willing to make sacrifices for the country?
This is Shangguan Xiu, he doesn't need to be understood by others, and he doesn't care about anyone's verbal criticism, he only does what he thinks is right.
