Qiu Zhen was also deeply moved by Tang Yin's words. The latter took a few deep breaths, calmed down his emotions, pretended to smile leisurely, and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will try my best to live longer than Your Majesty."
After hearing what he said, Tang Yin was not unhappy, but felt a lot more relaxed. He patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "I hope so too!" After a pause, he turned the topic back to Guo Jue.
He asked: "Qiu Zhen, you said that Guo Jue should be highly rewarded. How about waiting for us to capture the entire Anqiu County and make him the county chief?"
"No, no!" Qiu Zhen shook his head like a drum and said, "Guo Jue is not suitable to stay here. He is too loyal to Mo State. If he stays here, he will be a disaster in the future."
Tang Yin snorted and said, "Yes, he is too loyal to Mo State. Such people will be trouble sooner or later."
Qiu Zhenshen said: "Loyalty is not necessarily a shortcoming. As long as the king uses it properly, Guo Jue will be more reassuring than Cai Song and Shao Yu."
"you mean……"
"Take Guo Jue to the imperial court. Didn't the king appoint Cai Gui as Yushi Zhongcheng? Guo Jue can also hold this position, and it is more suitable!" Qiu Zhen suggested.
"Okay! It's up to you!" Tang Yin nodded in agreement, then looked towards the screen and said, "We have been in retreat for long enough, it's time to go out."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen walked out from behind the screen in a leisurely manner. Both of them had expressionless faces. Just looking at their looks, no one could guess what they had discussed just now.
Seeing that the king had come out, everyone present was excited. They leaned forward subconsciously, holding the hilt of the sword tightly with their palms. They only waited for Tang Yin's order to rush forward and cut Guo Jue's body into pieces.
Thousands of sections.
Tang Yin looked around at everyone, and finally, his eyes fell on Guo Jue, and said in a calm tone: "Master Guo is not afraid of the monarch's power, he clearly understands every detail, and he fights with reason, and finally gets to the bottom of the case of Laifu Teahouse. He can be called a model of loyalty. Such a wise man
Sir, it is too unfair to be a mere city lord. I don’t want to bury our talents, so I now promote Guo Jue to the title of Yushi Zhongcheng.”
No one expected that Guo Jue would impose the punishment on the king. Instead of blaming him, the king promoted him to a third-rank official. This was incredible. People looked at each other and couldn't come to their senses for a long time. Some of them were smart.
The wind generals thought that Tang Yin was deliberately giving Guo Jue a sweet spot, so they sealed his mouth and said one after another: "Guo Jue, the king has treated you so well, why don't you thank him quickly?"
What made people shocked and angry was that Guo Jie was not moved at all by the senior officials of the third rank, and said righteously: "Wei Chen appreciates the good intentions of His Highness the Feng King, but Wei Chen is a Moren, how can he be in the Feng Kingdom?"
What is the reason for serving in the imperial court? I hope His Highness King Feng will take back his life!"
"Guo Jue is so bold! The mad dog of Mo State really doesn't know how to praise!" The generals glared at him indignantly.
Tang Yin was not angry, but was happy, and said slowly: "Whether you are a Mo or a Feng, you are the emperor's subjects. This time I am asking for help from the emperor on behalf of the emperor. You will not be rewarded by me. That's it."
If he is not rewarded by the emperor, does it mean that Mr. Guo also has a disobedient heart towards the emperor?"
When the big hat was pulled down, it was enough to flatten Guo Jue. The latter's face suddenly changed, he was stunned for a moment, then he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and said urgently: "Wei Chen does not dare, Wei Chen accepts the order!"
Humph! Tang Yin sneered in his heart. With the emperor as his trump card, he would always stand on the side of orthodoxy and occupy the moral high ground. When doing things, he would get twice the result with half the effort.
He said with a smile: "Knowing your mistakes can greatly improve things. This time I will not punish you. But I can not punish you, but I have made mistakes but I have to punish you. The emperor broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people. I myself
As the king of a country, he should lead by example." As he spoke, Tang Yin reached out and grabbed the scimitar on the table, flipped his wrist, pointed the blade at himself, and wiped it with his forearm.
"Your Majesty, please don't—" Upon seeing this, all the generals in the hall were so frightened that they screamed and stretched out their hands to stop Tang Yin, but it was too late.
As the cold light flashed, a large amount of black silk fell from Tang Yin's head. At this scene, not only the Feng soldiers and generals were stunned, but even Guo Jue opened his mouth in surprise.
He asked Tang Yin to replace him with his hair, which was actually more of an intimidation factor. He didn't believe that the arrogant Wind King Tang Yin could be forced to cut off his hair by a mere commoner of Mo Country, but he used this to frustrate him.
The arrogance of Tang Yin and Feng Jun was also good. But he never expected that Tang Yin would actually do this. As the monarch of a country, he could willingly accept such a heavy punishment regardless of his face. How much effort would it take?
At least it is not something that Shao Fang, the current monarch of Mo State, can achieve.
"Your Majesty!" After an unknown amount of time, the generals came to their senses and swarmed forward. They all knelt down and picked up the short hair on the ground. Holding it in both hands, they placed it on the table in front of Tang Yin tremblingly.
On the case.
Tang Yin waved to everyone, indicating that they should all go back first, then grabbed the broken hair, handed it to Guo Jue, and said: "This is the record of my king's mistake. You can take it and hang it on the top of the city.
This is to show to the public and serve as a warning to others." After saying this, he glanced at the other generals and said coldly: "If the soldiers make mistakes, the general will be punished. If the general makes a mistake, I will be punished! I hope that I will not do this in the future.
It will happen again. From today on, all officers and soldiers of our army who rob their homes and homes will be killed without mercy. Anyone who kills innocent people indiscriminately will be punished by the nine tribes. This is my king’s order and it will take effect immediately. If any generals punish their subordinates unfairly, they will be punished with the same crime.
!”
All the generals present were trembling with fright. In the past, Tang Yin had always emphasized strict military discipline, but if he said that, even he himself didn't care. How could the soldiers below pay attention to it? But it was different now. The king was forced to serve as the leader.
He had to cut off his hair in public. How could anyone dare to ignore the law?
All the generals knelt down one after another and said in unison: "General, obey your orders! We will strictly enforce military discipline and never make any mistakes in the future!"
"Yes! That's the best." Tang Yin nodded, looked at Guo Jue who was still in a daze, smiled and shook the hair in his hand, and said: "Guo Jue, why don't you quickly take away my hair?
"
Guo Jue's body was shaken and he finally came back to his senses. He stepped forward quickly and took the broken hair from Tang Yin's hand respectfully. Then he took two steps back, lifted his clothes, knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!" Guo Jue has always been the best.
Calling Tang Yin Feng Wang shows that he still rejects Tang Yin from the bottom of his heart. Now he changes his name to King, which undoubtedly shows that he has begun to accept Tang Yin to a large extent.
The case of Laifu Teahouse was just an insignificant incident. Compared with the Feng Army's actions of massacring the city at every turn, it was really insignificant. However, because of the appearance of Guo Jue, this incident became far-reaching.
First of all, in the history of Fengjun, there have been several military discipline reforms, but the previous reforms together are not as powerful as this military discipline reform. Fengjun has clearly seen from top to bottom that if military discipline is violated, even the king will be punished.
, if he makes a mistake, he will only die. Tang Yin's setting an example is tantamount to fundamentally putting an end to the chaos of Fengjun's military discipline.
Secondly, Tang Yin's actions not only did not affect his reputation, but were widely praised and won the love of many Mo people. He was originally guilty of killing innocent people in Mo country, but later he was willing to be punished and committed suicide.
, in him, no one can see the shadow of Mingjun and Xianzhu, especially when compared with Shao Fang, who has been almost crazy recently, the high and low are clearly revealed.
Thirdly, it was Guo Jie who joined. Feng Guo’s territory was expanding too fast, and a large number of talents were needed to support the country’s growth. As a result, the races in Feng Guo’s court became more and more mixed, including Feng people and Ning people.
People, Mo people, etc., have different ethnic groups, resulting in different factions. The various parties compete for power and intrigue, but the overall atmosphere of the Fengguo court has always been very upright. It is not because Tang Yin has many wise decisions, but because of the people in the Fengguo court.
There is always a clear stream of people who dare to speak out, and Guo Jue is one of the important ministers.
The Laifu Teahouse case ended here. All the guards in the guard camp involved in the case were executed, and Tang Yin, who was involved, also gave his hair as an apology. The next day, Guo Jie personally supervised and posted a notice in the city, and Tang Yin's severed hair and
The severed heads of the guards were hung together.
Tang Yin did what Qiu Zhen wanted. He still couldn't see how far-reaching the impact of this matter was, but it was definitely embarrassing and conspicuous. At this time, he had already ordered people to prepare carriages. When the army went south, he wanted to
Take a carriage out of the city. When Tang Yin goes out with the army, if he is not injured, he will choose to ride a horse. He likes to walk side by side with the soldiers, and also likes to ride a tall horse and show off his power under the spotlight. But this time, he really has no shame anymore.
Out in the open.
After hearing this, Qiu Zhen shook his head and smiled, then brought two packages and came to find Tang Yin. After meeting, he gave one of the packages to Tang Yin and urged: "Your Majesty, change it quickly!"
Tang Yin didn't answer immediately. He looked at Qiu Zhen in confusion and asked, "What is it?"
"Casual clothes!"
"Civil clothes?" Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then nodded knowingly, and said with a wry smile: "You want me to dress up like a commoner and sneak out of the city to avoid embarrassment and conspicuousness, right?"
Qiu Zhen shook his head and said, "That's not the case! Your Majesty, please put on your casual clothes and go out with your ministers to listen."
Tang Yin frowned and asked, "What are you looking at? What are you listening to?"
"Public opinion!" Qiu Zhen said with a smile.
Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen both changed into casual clothes without any entourage, and quietly slipped out from the back door of the City Lord's Mansion. The weather was good today, with clear blue skies and the rare absence of annoying wind and sand. However, the temperature was even hotter.
A few steps can make you break out in sweat.
Tang Yin followed Qiu Zhen and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Go and see the announcement in the south of the city, where there are the most people and the liveliest scene." Qiu Zhen had already made preparations.
