Chapter 32: Unkind
Xu Jing's smile mixed with the cold wind made everyone present tremble.
When Xu Jing's sentence of killing a little less, everyone present was even more silent.
"You just said that I have a thirst for killing? Could it be that the person I killed was the wrong one? ”
Xu Jing's gaze stayed on one of them, looked at him lightly and asked.
The general has long since lost his soul, and he still remembers what he said.
just trembled and raised his head: "Your Majesty, the minister is just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously." ”
"What I'm asking now is that you think I killed it wrong?"
Xu Jing's voice raised a few degrees, and he asked again, with a posture of vowing not to give up.
"The last general, Xu Qiang, I just ask Your Majesty not to harm your family!"
The general gritted his teeth and prayed.
"Yes."
Xu Jing nodded and motioned for the person to continue.
"The minister believes that His Majesty should not kill too indiscriminately, and it is not that His Majesty has killed the master who is at fault. But Your Majesty shouldn't have killed them along with your relatives! ”
Xu Qiang 1510 said all his opinions.
"Relatives are not guilty? Do you know that their relatives then did evil in the court? Did you know that they were wanton? ”
"Don't talk about it far away, just say that the former head of the household department, before he deducted the disaster relief, he accepted bribes, and his relatives were useless for these ill-gotten gains?"
Not to mention, his family used his position as the head of the household department to wantonly plunder the farmland, causing hundreds of people to be displaced. Aren't these sins? ”
"In my opinion, it is a sin that none of his relatives can avenge the innocent and enjoy everything safely!"
Xu Jing's eyes grew cold, pointed at Xu Qiang, and said all the words in one go.
At this moment, Xu Qiang was already sluggish and unable to say a word.
He had thought that only the main culprits were guilty, and their families were not guilty at all.
But what Xu Jing said now proves that all this is fundamentally wrong.
"Now, do you still think that the Lord is guilty and his family is not guilty?"
Xu Jing looked at Xu Qiang calmly and asked.
Xu Qiang lowered his head full of regret: "The last general should not question the decision made by His Majesty!" In the end, they will be guilty and willing to be punished. ”
Xu Jing was very satisfied with this, and nodded slightly: "Criticizing the king, what crime do you think I should know about you?" ”
The hearts of the colleagues present were tight, especially the generals who were discussing Xu Jing the most.
If Xu Qiang can't escape punishment, I'm afraid that the end of them will not be much better.
"Your Majesty, it is the ministers who let them criticize. If you want to be punished, then you will punish the ministers. ”
At this moment, Jiang Wujian opened his mouth to defend everyone.
At the same time, Jiang Wujian and Xu Jing exchanged glances.
Xu Jing smiled secretly, this was the result of Jiang Wuji's tacit cooperation with himself.
Xu Jing naturally didn't miss it, and immediately pretended to hesitate and said: "Since this is the case, I don't want to punish too much." Anyway, then order you not to drink alcohol for ten years. ”
Hearing that Xu Jing's almost non-existent punishment was a punishment, the general couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
looked at Xu Jing again, and there was a little more recognition in his eyes.
The new emperor in front of him does not seem to be as strict and unkind as rumored.
"At the end of the gossip, I have something to discuss with you."
At the end of the foreplay, Xu Jing looked at the ten generals kneeling in front of him with a stern expression.
"Your Majesty just say, the last general will do everything in his power."
The staff present will reply seriously.
Their senses for Xu Jing have changed, from disdain at the beginning to recognition now.
Not to mention, they belonged to the imperial guards, and it was not a big deal to obey Xu Jing's orders, but it was a matter of course.
"Situ Kou, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, see Your Majesty!"
Just as Xu Jing was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded outside the military tent.
Xu Jing's eyes met Jiang Wuji, and both of them saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.
Obviously, this Situ Kou was an accident.
"Come in."
Xu Jing whispered Situ Kou into the military tent.
"Your Majesty, why didn't you say anything in advance when you arrived at the forbidden army barracks? Commander Xiao and I should also prepare in advance. ”
Situ Kou walked into the military tent, looked at Xu Jing with a smile and said, this seems to be an inquiry, but it is actually a question.
Obviously, the Situ Kou in front of him was very dissatisfied with Xu Jing's sudden appearance in the forbidden army camp.
"What? When did I come here, and did I have to ask you? ”
Xu Jing's eyes grew cold, and he looked at Situ Kou in front of him and asked with a sneer.
"Don't dare, Your Majesty is the Majesty of the Great Cadre, and the general naturally doesn't dare to ask more about where he wants to go."
"It's just that Your Majesty is free to go to the barracks, and it's not good to be disturbed by spies who are seen as spying on military aircraft."
Situ Kou didn't kneel, but took a step forward and looked at Xu Jing with a sneer.
"I remember, you are the grandson of Taiwei Situ Zhao, right?"
Xu Jing's voice became much lower, and there was a faint anger in his eyes that was about to explode.
"That's right, the last general is the grandson of Captain Situ and the deputy commander of the current forbidden army."
Situ Kou looked at Xu Jing even more proudly, without the slightest awe.
Xu Jing's anger had already reached the point where he could not suppress it, and looked at Situ Kou, who was becoming more and more arrogant: "So, do you think I won't dare to kill you?" ”
"Your Majesty had better think clearly, killing the deputy commander in the barracks will cause a mutiny."
Situ Kou sneered, he didn't believe that Xu Jing dared to kill him here.
Although more than half of these generals were very dissatisfied with him and Xiao Jiasheng, they were still the nominal commanders of the forbidden army!
And the prestige among the basic soldiers is extremely high, and Situ Kou is very confident in his ability.
He didn't believe that a veteran of his perennial battles would be wiped by Xu Jing's neck.
"Presumptuous!"
Gonggong Cao's eyes were full of anger, and he was about to make a move, when Xu Jing raised his hand and signaled him to retreat.
"You're so confident?"
Xu Jing's eyes were cold, and he looked at Situ Kou and asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, the only thing you can rely on now is the forbidden army, if you provoke the forbidden army to mutiny, I am only afraid of ........."
Situ Kou watched Xu Jing deliberately stop Gonggong Cao, and his heart was settled, and his behavior became more and more unscrupulous.
He believed that Xu Jing had learned about the change of guard, and the commanders of several armies outside the outskirts of Beijing had a bad relationship with the three vassal kings.
Once Xu Jing loses the support of the forbidden army, whether Xu Jing's throne can be kept is a question.
Using this as a threat, Situ Kou believed even more that Xu Jing was absolutely impossible to do to himself.
But in the next second, a cold light swept in front of him, and Situ Kou stumbled back with a surprised face.
Many generals looked up, only to see Situ Kou staggering to the ground with his neck covered.
"Do you think I really dare to kill you? If you commit the following crimes, even the commander of the forbidden army will not escape death! ”
Xu Jing's eyes were cold, and he looked at Situ Kou, whose life was constantly passing, expressionless.
"Nope! I can't die! ”
Situ Kou's pupils widened, and he staggered to his feet and walked out.
"Save ..... Save me! ”
Situ Kou walked out of the tent not far away, fell to the ground, and still stretched out his hand and shouted before he died.
"Not good! The deputy commander is dead! ”
What followed was the growing noise outside the military tent, and the footsteps of countless soldiers gathering.
"The sinners are among them, draw my bow!"
Outside the door, Xiao Jiasheng rang suddenly.
"Protect Your Majesty!"
