When Guan Xi turned around and saw clearly that the person standing in front of the bed was Shangguan Xiu, his head buzzed and he almost bit off his tongue.
He didn't bother to get dressed anymore.
He rolled down from the bed, knelt on the ground, kowtowed forward, and stammered: "I will see your Highness.
I don't know that it is Your Highness who is here.
I don't know."
Before he could finish his words, Shangguan Xiu struck him hard on the shoulder with another branch.
With a snap, the branch broke and Guan Xi almost fell to the ground.
He was in pain and had cold sweat all over his face, but he did not dare to say a word.
He knelt on the ground tremblingly, kowtowed forward repeatedly, and said urgently: "Your Highness, please forgive me.
I was confused for a moment, Your Highness, please forgive me."
Shangguan Xiu slammed half of the branch in Guan Xi's face, turned around and walked out, shouting without looking back: "Put on your clothes and get out of here!"
Seeing Shangguan Xiu come out of the palace with a gloomy face, everyone 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, there is no need to be angry.
The officer and general were also confused for a moment."
"How can such a big matter of confusion be settled by just saying confusion?"
Shangguanxiu turned to look at Zhang Jiuwei and Liang Ying, and asked angrily: "Master Zhang, what you said is simply lawless, and his crime should be punished." " Liang Ying swallowed and said nothing, and he couldn't get a word in.
Zhang Jiuwei secretly thought in his heart that what Guan Xi did should indeed be punished.
However, if Shangguan Xiu really wanted to kill Guan Xi, he didn't need to ask anyone's opinion or express his position.
He only needed to give an order and directly pull Guan Xi out for questioning.
Since Shangguan Xiu asked him, it was obvious that he didn't want to kill Guan Xi, but hoped that the big problem could be reduced to a trivial matter.
However, it was difficult for Shangguan Xiu to say this, so he, a native of Ningnan, could plead for mercy. , then he can just borrow the donkey from the slope.
Shangguan Xiu's protection and preference for his subordinates are really enviable.
After such a big incident and such a big scandal, he is still protecting Guan Xi.
Zhang Jiuwei has long since become a human spirit, no matter what, he can tell everything at once.
He secretly smiled bitterly, and had to pretend to be serious on his face.
Just as he was about to speak, Guan Xi ran out of the dormitory, disheveled and staggering.
When he got outside, he knelt down in front of Shangguan Xiu with a bang, snot and tears streaming down his face.
Before he could speak, he slapped himself twice in the face, crying and begging for mercy: "I am the one who is obsessed with ghosts, and I deserve death for my crime.
Please forgive me, Your Highness.
Please see that I will be loyal to the country and the king.
Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Shangguan Xiu's rage made Guan Xi realize that he had caused a lot of trouble this time.
At this time, he finally became afraid and knelt on the ground, kowtowing like garlic.
Glancing at him coldly, Shangguan Xiu turned around with his hands behind his back and stopped looking at him.
Zhang Jiuwei cleared his throat and said: "The general has indeed committed a serious crime, but out of consideration for the general's meritorious service to the country, he can make up for it.
I hope His Highness will avoid the death penalty of the general this time."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiuwei would plead for Guan Xi.
The person Guan Xi insulted was the imperial concubine.
Liang Ying, who couldn't chop off a hundred heads, looked at him subconsciously.
Zhang Jiuwei gave Xiang a wry smile, winked at him, and shook his head slightly, suggesting that he must not interrupt at this time.
When he heard someone begging for mercy on his behalf, Guan Xi kowtowed repeatedly and choked with sobs, begging: "Your Highness, please spare my life, Your Highness, spare your life."
This unworthy thing Shangguan Xiu raised his leg and kicked Guan Xi on the chest, knocking him to the ground, and said coldly: "For the sake of Mr.
Zhang interceding for you, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable, and the heavy responsibility will be heavy."
Hundreds of army sticks, Yu Fei, you will personally supervise, if the executioner dares to show mercy, he will be killed."
After finishing speaking, Shangguan Xiu didn't want to stay any longer and strode out in a hurry.

Guan Xi was stunned for a moment and said repeatedly: "Thank you for your highness's grace of not killing.
I will thank your highness for your grace of not killing."
"You don't have to thank me.
If you want to thank me, just thank Mr.
Zhang.
If Mr.
Zhang hadn't interceded for you today, you would have died."
Zhang Jiuwei gave himself a step to save Guan Xi's life.
Shangguan Xiu would naturally take this favor.
It was given to Zhang Jiuwei smoothly.
Zhang Jiuwei was so smart, how could he not understand Shangguan Xiu's intention?
He caught up to him, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you have betrayed a humble minister."
"Master Zhang, you don't have to be polite.
It's really embarrassing for our army to have such a scandal."
He didn't know what Guan Xi felt when such a thing happened.
Anyway, he was the great general of Feng Kingdom and Feng Guo.
The prince of the country could not wait to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
One hundred military sticks, whether they are too much or too little, depends on the hand of the person who is in charge of the punishment.
If you really want someone's life, swiping fifty military sticks is enough to beat a person to death.
If you don't want a person's life, even if you hit him with two hundred military sticks, the person who is being tortured will still be able to retain a breath of vitality without hurting his muscles or bones. , just suffer a little physical pain.
On the way back to the front palace, Zhang Jiuwei asked carefully: "Your Highness, what should I do with the imperial concubine?"
Shangguan Xiu thought for a while and said: "This matter should not be spread to outsiders.
The imperial concubine should be comforted and settled well.
Let Mr.
Zhang handle this matter."
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Xiu gave him this hot potato.
The old man grinned secretly.
Just when he was thinking about this reply, Shangguan Xiu reiterated: "I still said what I said, this matter should not be spread outside, it will insult the reputation of our army, Zhang The adults should be responsible for keeping the imperial concubine's mouth in check.
If she refuses to shut up, then find a way to shut her up.
In short, those who know the inside story will stop here. " Zhang Jiuwei shuddered, nodded, bowed and said, "Wei Chen understands."
What does it mean to find a way to shut her up?
To put it bluntly, it means asking him to secretly execute the imperial concubine.
What Shangguan Xiu wanted was to silence the imperial concubine and beat Guan Xi with a hundred military sticks.
However, the big matter was reduced to a trivial matter, but the development of the matter did not go as he imagined.
Guan Xi insulted the imperial concubine, and even flirted with her in the Fengyi Palace of the imperial palace.
The matter soon spread to Shangjing.
Tang Ling's reaction after hearing this was furious.
If Guan Xi pulls the imperial concubine outside the palace and does whatever he wants, Tang Ling won't have any objections.
But inside the palace, on the dragon bed, having sex with the imperial concubine, what is he going to do?
Do you want to be the emperor of Ningnan?
We had finally conquered Tianjing and laid the foundation for unifying the world.
Tang Ling did not allow any mistakes to occur at this time, let alone any hidden dangers.
Guan Xi's audacity made Tang Ling have to be suspicious.
Once the emperor has a grudge and becomes jealous, how can he, as a minister, do anything better?
Because Shangguan Xiu had already punished Guan Xi at that time, Tang Ling also took Shangguan Xiu's face into consideration and did not directly issue an imperial edict to execute Guan Xi.

She sent the Chief Minister Cai Xiao and the Council Minister Tang Mingzhu to Tianjing to assist Shangguan Xiu in setting up the Governor's Mansion in Tianjing, and the Governor of the Duwei Mansion, You Ling, accompanied him to escort him.
Among them, in addition to being responsible for protecting the safety of Cai Xiao and Tang Mingzhu, You Ling also had another secret mission, which was to execute Guan Xi with a secret edict.
In Tang Ling's words, a wolf's ambition must not be tolerated.
I'm afraid Guan Xi never dreamed that the trouble he caused just because of his lustful obsession would actually cause the emperor of his country to mark him as a wolf with ambitions that should not be allowed to stay.
Of course, there was a reason why Tang Ling sent Cai Xiao and Tang Mingzhu to assist Shangguan Xiu.
Tang Ling was very satisfied with the results of their last visit to Du Ji.
In her opinion, Cai Xiao and Tang Mingzhu were both very good at it.
People who do things.
The establishment of the Governor's Palace was equivalent to the establishment of a new imperial court in Ningnan, which was very important.
With the two of them assisting Shangguan Xiu, Tang Ling could feel more at ease.
In addition, Tang Ling also planned to go to Tianjing to inspect it in person.
Cai Xiao and Tang Mingzhu's advance would give her a head start to see how deep the water in Tianjing was.
Let's talk about Shangguan Xiu.
After returning to the Taihe Palace 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 in their prime.
Shangguan Xiu silently looked at the five people without saying anything, waiting to see how they reacted.
Peng Zhuo was the first to salute Shangguan Xiu and said: "Peng Zhuo, a common man, please see His Highness the Duke of Feng Kingdom."
Peng Zhuo's opening remarks made Shangguan Xiu narrow his eyes slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Jun Shengnan and the four others also regarded themselves as ordinary people and bowed to Shangguan Xiu one after another.
They are officials of Haotian Kingdom, but now that the emperor of Haotian Kingdom has collapsed, the court has collapsed, and they exist in name only.
In the eyes of Feng Kingdom, they are naturally not officials.
It is most appropriate for them to consider themselves as ordinary people.
But from what Shangguan Xiu heard, he felt that none of these people intended to serve Feng Guo.
He turned to look at Zhang Jiuwei, as if asking, this is the person you recommended to me.
Zhang Jiuwei stood with his head bowed, pretending not to see Shangguan Xiu's question.
Shangguan Xiu cleared his throat, waved his hands to the five people, and said calmly: "Five adults, you don't have to be polite."
Hearing this, Peng Zhuo immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness has destroyed the common people."
Shangguan Xiu secretly said with an old stubbornness: "The Minister of Agriculture is related to the people's livelihood and is the grain bag of the country.
A country can be without a king, but it must not be without the Minister of Agriculture.
What does Mr.
Peng think?"
Peng Zhuo trembled, lowered his head and said, "Your Highness is so knowledgeable and insightful that common 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 am I not speaking plainly enough?"
Peng Zhuo was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "The common people don't understand what His Highness means."
Shangguan Xiu stared at Peng Zhuo coldly.
After a while, he took a deep breath and said, "I intend to let Mr.
Peng continue to serve as Minister of Agriculture.
I wonder if Mr.
Peng is willing."
Peng Zhuo was surprised and said: "His Royal Highness wants to proclaim himself emperor in Tianjing."
Shangguan Xiu looked confused.
Is there any relationship between the two things that he wants to continue to appoint Peng Zhuo and that he wants to be emperor in Tianjing?
He said with a cold face: "No."
Peng Zhuo asked again: "So, His Highness plans to establish a new king in Tianjing?"
"No."

"So, His Highness wants to tell the people that Feng Kingdom will have two agricultural ministers in the future," Peng Zhuo asked curiously.
His words made Shangguanxiu speechless.
He also asked the question that troubled Shangguanxiu the most.
The imperial court in Beijing is too far away to control the thirty-six counties in southern Ningxia.
It is inevitable to set up a central administrative agency in Tianjing.
However, the country cannot have two imperial courts, nor can it have two chief ministers, ministers with seals, and internal ministers.
Minister of History, Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Finance, etc.
Shangguan Xiu wanted to continue to employ them, but could not reinstate them to their posts.
Seeing Shangguan Xiu's silence, Peng Zhuo shrugged and said: "Fengguo cannot have two ministers of agriculture.
Then, what kind of position does your highness plan to give to Cao Min, so that Cao Min can legitimately be the minister of agriculture and manage thirty Farming in Six Counties” Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly.
It seemed that Peng Zhuo didn't want to serve Feng Guo, 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 establish the Governor's Palace in Tianjing according to Lord Zhang's proposal.
I hope Lord Peng will serve as the Minister of Agriculture in the Governor's Mansion.
I don't know what Lord Peng thinks. how":
