Text Chapter 12 (43) Inevitable Punishment

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Will he serve as director of the newly established Patent Department of the Ministry of Industry?

    Tian Xiu¡¯s entire mind was occupied by this news.  She no longer paid attention to what Chang Xiu said next, but kept thinking about the impact this sudden opportunity would have on herself.  Her heart was beating wildly, and she couldn't even remember how she said goodbye to Chang Xiu, so she returned to the public house where she, Yang Heng, and the others worked together in a daze.  It wasn't until she saw the stacks of applications for coke patent authorization on the desk that she remembered that she had forgotten to take the opportunity to raise this matter with Wen Shigong

    Now, there are more people waiting to see her in the private room of the public house.  While she was going to see Chang Xiu, two or three groups of people came to see her.  More than a dozen officials in green attire were crowded into a small wing. Some lowered their heads in deep thought, while others were flipping through documents and files in their hands. None of them spoke much, and the atmosphere seemed a bit strange.

    Tian Xiu can completely understand the mood and thoughts of these people.  The Patent Department that is about to be established is a new government office; although it is small, it has all the internal organs, so under the Patent Department, there will definitely be a series of departments, departments, and offices, and these people come here for these departments.  In their view, this is probably their opportunity for promotion.

    Most of these people came to her for trivial matters.  There are also a few people who are not here to discuss business at all, but just to show up in front of her to deepen their impression. By the way, they express tactfully that if everyone works together in the future, they will definitely be Yang Heng, Mr. Yang and her, Tian Xiutian.  Your Majesty is following your lead.  It seems that these people have probably been determined to have a place in the Patent Division.

    It was not until early noon that Tian Xiu finally managed to deal with these colleagues who had their own thoughts.

    She ate a bowl of noodles in the big room of the Ministry of Industry and hurried back to deal with the backlog of official documents.  In the afternoon, there might be many people who would catch wind of this and come over to her to "ask for advice." She had to take advantage of her free time at noon to get busy with more business.

    However, her mind could not calm down no matter what.  There were so many people who came to see her just now, so many that they were a bit suspicious.  Especially among the people who came, there were two people from the seventh rank and the seventh rank who were Jinshi, and they actually came to see her in the name of asking for advice, which inevitably made people more suspicious.  Could it be said that the Patent Department not only handles matters related to liquor glass, but also has other jurisdictions?  This doesn't seem to make sense.

    She held the file in her hand and looked at the apricot tree in the courtyard.  It is late autumn now, and the leaves of the apricot trees have already withered and turned yellow, hanging listlessly on the branches. Even if there is no wind, three or two leaves will fall from time to time.  In the corridor opposite, several handymen were running around holding thick cotton curtains and carrying ladders, and they were hanging cotton curtains next to the house.  In two days it will be the beginning of winter.  The cold winter is coming soon

    A handyman gently carried the copper pot in and replaced the cold tea soup.

    She stood up and poured herself a bowl of tea soup. She didn't drink it, but just held it in her hands, warming her hands while staring blankly at the official document in front of her.

    Someone came in again, but she ignored it.  The offices of various yamen in the imperial city are very tight, and the Ministry of Industry is no exception.  At present, the small courtyard where they work is crowded with several Cao Ke from the Farming Department and the Water Department of the Ministry of Works.  Many officials who come from other places to do business cannot figure out the details and often rush in with their heads down.

    The person who came in took advantage of her distraction, walked up to her quietly, and suddenly slapped her lightly on the shoulder, which made her hand shake violently!  If she hadn't reacted quickly and steadied herself quickly, a cup of tea would have poured onto the official document or onto herself.  Even so, she panicked for a while, and splashed a few drops of hot tea on her hands.

    Chen Pu was very happy that her prank had succeeded. She dragged the drum stool, sat in front of the desk, and watched Tian Xiu fussing around with a smile.

    Tian Xiu went out to ask for hot water from the servant to wash her hands. When she came back, she poured a cup of tea for Chen Pu and asked her, "When did you come back?"

    Chen Pu took a sip of the hot tea soup and said, "Last night."

    "Come back for another meeting?" Tian Xiu asked.  She knew that Chen Pu, the general of Zhuguo, was quite in name only. Except for some insignificant meetings, Chen Pu usually did not interfere with many affairs between the military and the army.

    "It's a meeting," Chen Pu said.  After a pause, she added, "It can't be considered a meeting. I came back to quarrel."

    ¡°A quarrel?!¡± Tian Xiu was startled.  Chen Pu made a special trip back from the Gyeonggi Camp to have a quarrel. It seemed that someone had really provoked her!  However, looking at Chen Pu's nonchalant smile, she felt that Chen Pu was not really angry.  "Who were you arguing with? How did it start?"

    Chen Pu squinted his eyes and smiled: "Hehe we had a quarrel with Gu Poyang."

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ???Hugu Shi?  Tian Xiu's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at his friend in disbelief: "What on earth is going on?"

    "It's not a big deal. Here's what happened. A month or two ago, probably at the end of July"

    The thing is, part of the money borrowed from Dongwa involves the manufacturing of weapons such as swords, guns, bows and arrows, especially the production of crossbows. From preparation to completion, it usually takes several years. In order to save time, the Ministry of War spent this money  Give it to Liyuan Camp, and let Liyuan Camp allocate part of it from the weapons inventory to Qingzhou to command the Yamen.  Because the Dong-Japanese loan was paid in four installments, the weapons delivered by the Ministry of War to Liyuan Camp were not paid in one lump sum.  As a result, something went wrong in the middle.  For some unknown reason, from the end of July to mid-August, the Ministry of War transferred four consecutive payments to Liyuan Camp without clearly indicating their purpose, so Liyuan Camp rudely transferred these four payments to a total of twenty  Seventeen thousand three hundred yuan of money and food were misappropriated. With a stroke of his pen, Shangguan Rui sent all the money and food to Jiazhou, which was regarded as additional care for the Jiazhou camp by the Ministry of War.  Since Shangjing and Qingzhou are hundreds of miles apart from each other, there must be a process for the transfer and delivery of ordnance. Therefore, Qingzhou did not become aware of this situation until early September.  The angry Qingzhou Command Yamen failed to coordinate with the Liyuan Camp, so he took the matter to the Ministry of War, hoping that the Ministry of War could make the decision for him.  However, the Qingzhou Command Yamen is far away, but the Liyuan Camp is right in front of us. To fight a lawsuit with the Ministry of War, the Qingzhou Command Yamen is inherently deficient.  In order to seek justice, Qingzhou commander Yan Xuan moved out of Poyang Hougu Shi.  Yan Xuan is Gu Shi's confidant, how could Gu Shi sit back and watch Yan Xuan suffer?  What's more, Gu Shi is also one of the main initiators of the East Japan Strategy and the major shareholder of the East Japan Loan. The success or failure of the East Japan Strategy is closely related to the rise and fall of the Gu family in Poyang. In both public and private matters, Gu Shi must stand up and let others know.  Liyuan camp spit out this money and food

    Tian Xiu opened his mouth in surprise and listened to Chen Pu finish telling the story.  These people in the Liyuan Camp are really amazing. They don¡¯t say hello to anyone, and they embezzle the 200,000 yuan of food as soon as they say it. If they were replaced by local civil servants, no one would have such courage; such a bold behavior  Perhaps even the prime ministers would not dare to do such things After a long while, she sighed and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, right?"

    "No!" Chen Pu shook his head.  "I only learned about such a thing when I received the report from the Ministry of War yesterday. I only heard about the specific situation after I arrived at the Ministry of War today."

    "It has nothing to do with you, so why are you still causing trouble in there?" Tian Xiu said anxiously.

    "Why is this so confusing? I am the deputy general manager of Liyuan Camp and the deputy commander of the army. The affairs of Liyuan Camp are naturally my business. What's more, this matter was done by Shangguan Rui. As his  Deputy, of course you have to share the responsibility!"

    Tian Xiu simply didn¡¯t know what to say to Chen Pu.  She turned her head to the side in anger, not wanting to talk to Chen Pu.

    "It's okay, you don't have to worry." Chen Pu didn't care much about Tian Xiu's attitude.  She said firmly, "It's just a quarrel anyway. No matter how talented Gu Poyang is, he can't teach others to eat until they spit out the meat in their stomachs, right?" She said to Tian Xiu carelessly, "Things between the military and the military  , I can¡¯t explain to you a sentence or two. Military affairs are very different from your civil servants¡¯ government affairs. Well, that¡¯s pretty much what it means.¡± That¡¯s what she said, but in fact, she herself  They don't quite understand the reason.  She only understood a little bit from the words of Gu Poyang and Shangguan Rui during the quarrel in the Ministry of War in the morning. She still needed to come down and slowly understand the deeper meanings.  It's a pity that her sister Nanyang is not in the capital during this period. Otherwise, she can ask her sister to help with the details.  To make matters worse, this meeting had nothing to do with Shang Zida, so Shang Cheng didn't come at all.  If that guy were here, he would definitely be able to tell more truths.  That guy is very capable in handling military affairs

    Chen Pu was thinking wildly when she heard Tian Xiu ask her: "Uncle Ying also came to the meeting of the Ministry of War today, right?"

    "He didn't come."

    "¡­¡­oh."

    "You have something to do with him?"

    "Something happened." Tian Xiu nodded and said, "We still don't know how to make the celestial instrument he mentioned, and we would like to ask him for advice. One more thing," she stopped talking, paused, and then continued.  Said, "Last time, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he helped me so muchI still haven't thanked him. I want to treat him to a meal and express my gratitude."

    Hearing Tian Xiu mention the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Pu felt a little uncomfortable on his face.  During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Tian Xiu was humiliated with words at the Huangdeng Temple, and was caught by Shang Cheng.  In a rage, Shang Cheng arrested all the officials and literati and imprisoned them in the Xiyue Temple Military Prison.  Those scholars all had some backgrounds, and their relatives and friends asked many people to help deliver the message; Chen Pu and her sister Nanyang also?At the request of these people, I went to see Shang Cheng.  Later, Shang Cheng relented and all the scholars were released.  But after these people came out, they immediately changed from begging for mercy to a mad dog that barked. They belittled Shangcheng to the point of being worthless. They also made up many unfounded things to maliciously slander Shangcheng. Some rumors even slandered Tianxiu.  Involved Now, Tian Xiu mentioned the Mid-Autumn Festival and Shang Cheng, which inevitably made Chen Pu feel a little ashamed.  She realized that in this matter, she and her sister, as well as Chang Xiu and Zhu Xuan, everyone had done something wrong.

    She blushed and said to Tian Xiu, "How about I accompany you to find him another day?"

    "How about the day after tomorrow?" Tian Xiu said, "I just made an appointment with the people from the Taishi Bureau to go to Shang Yingbo for advice the day after tomorrow. How about we go together the day after tomorrow?"

    "Okay, that's settled."

    The two people talked for a while.  Seeing that the lunch break was almost over, Tian Xiu sent Chen Pu out of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.  Outside the Yamen, the two made an appointment to visit Li Mu together in the evening.  Their teacher has just brought his family to the capital, and they have not even been to visit him. Today is the perfect time to make up for this gift.

    Before leaving, Chen Pu warned: "Just wait for me in the Yamen. I will come to you after the meeting over there" She suddenly stopped talking, stared into the distance and muttered, "What the hell!"  Why is this guy here too?"

    Tian Xiu turned around and saw Shang Cheng coming along Tianjie.

    Shang Cheng also saw them both.

    When Shang Cheng approached, Chen Pu asked him: "Why are you here too? This matter has nothing to do with you, right?"

    Shang Cheng grinned and asked, "What's the matter with me? I just heard about it outside Yemen just now." He smiled at Chen Pu and said, "Zhen Xiang just treated you so hard."  He praised me a few times. He has made great progress, and now he knows where his butt should sit!"

    This is really too vulgar.  Chen Pu and Tian Xiu both blushed.  Shang Cheng himself didn't notice it at all, and asked again, "What are you two doing standing here?"

    Chen Pu didn¡¯t say anything to him and asked him: ¡°What do you think about this?¡±

    "It's just misappropriation. What's there to see? Gu Poyang doesn't really want you to spit out the money and food. He just wants to have this fight. He also has to have this fight. For him,  It doesn¡¯t matter what the result is, what¡¯s important is that he must clearly express his attitude and position.¡±

    Chen Pu nodded thoughtfully.  Judging from the situation in the morning meeting, things seemed to be what Shang Cheng said.  Although Gu Shi kept saying that the 200,000 yuan of money and food must be replenished, his target has always been to target the Liyuan Camp. He did not mention specific people, nor did he say who was to be held responsible, let alone investigate.  Where does this money and food go?  I think I came to Gu Poyang to avoid the Jiazhou camp.  After all, everyone knows that the money and food were eventually sent to Jiazhou Xingying. No matter how capable Gu Shi was, he would not dare to find fault with Jiazhou Xingying at this time.  Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the Southwest War in the future, just come out and say that Gu Shi forced the Jiazhou camp to jump up and down for a mere bit of money and food. As a result, the morale of the army was shaken and the war was affected. The imperial court might push him away.  Come out as a shield

    Tian Xiu said to Shang Cheng: "Uncle Ying, when are you free, I would like to treat you to a meal. You helped me last time, but I haven't thanked you yet"

    "Eating? No need. It's such a big deal, what can I say thank you for"

    Chen Pu interjected from the side and said, "Since it's not about Qingzhou's money and food, what are you doing in the city?"

    Shang Cheng smiled and said, "I guess I'm here to be punished." He glanced left and right.  He and Chen Pu were both third-grade military attach¨¦s wearing red shirts. Standing at the door of the Ministry of Works Yamen and talking, they were as eye-catching as they wanted.  Officials who were doing business in the Ministry of Works walked carefully around them.  Seeing that there was no one around, Shang Cheng smacked his lips and said, "Last year when we were fighting against Tujiec, I asked people to contact the Da Tengliang and Wannuer tribes in Tujiec and exchange them for tea, grain and pig iron."  We have horses, cattle and sheep. I asked people to make an agreement with them that when we fight against the King of Donglu Valley, they will watch and not send troops to help. In order to prevent the King of Donglu Valley from getting rid of the disobedient Da Teng Liangbu and Wan Wan  Afterwards, the Nu'er tribe reorganized the left wing of Tu Jie Ci. This matter of exchanging grain and pig iron for war horses has not stopped until now. Now something happened. Zhu Xu brought this matter to the censor station, and both the east and west stations were trying to deal with it.  I¡­¡­"

    Chen Pu and Tian Xiu were both shocked.  It was because of Shang Cheng's audacity that Tian Xiu sent grain and pig iron to Tujieci. To put it mildly, it was called "capitalizing the enemy", but to put it more seriously, it was "treason"!  She stared at Shang Cheng hatefully.  If Shang Cheng hadn't helped her not long ago, she might have said some ugly words on the spot.  But she immediately remembered something that Chen Pu once said to her.  If she remembers correctly, thenThe 40,000 Yanshan troops led by Shang Cheng were fighting against 100,000 Tujieci people.  From this point of view, it should be excusable for Shang Cheng to sponsor the two tribes in Tujieci in exchange for their sit back and neutrality, right?

    As a general of the Zhu Kingdom, Chen Pu could understand Shang Cheng¡¯s approach. Compared with the destruction of Blackwater City, the little grain and pig iron were nothing!  She was just worried about what would happen to Shang Cheng after this matter was revealed.  Those that can alarm both the east and west stations of the Yushitai are serious and serious cases that shake the world. There are very few people who can come out with such a case She nervously thought about who she could find at this time.  Come out to help and intercede.  Among the people she was familiar with, almost no one had anything to do with East and West Station; occasionally there were one or two people she knew and could speak in front of Da Sikong, but she couldn't control them.  She gritted her teeth and made up her mind: "Don't worry! I'll go find my father right now. With my father speaking to me, even if there is a punishment, it can't be too severe!"

    Shang Cheng looked at her in astonishment.  He hadn't even finished speaking, so why was Chen Pu going to drag her father out?  He grabbed Chen Pu who wanted to move reinforcements: "What are you in a hurry for? Wait until I finish talking first!"

    "The knife rests on your neck, what else can you say? Don't worry, with my father here, I will never let you suffer a big loss!"

    Shang Cheng simply couldn¡¯t laugh or cry.  Chen Pu simply didn't understand what kind of relationship her father had with the ministers.  In this matter, if Emperor Dongyuan had not come forward, she would definitely not have suffered a big loss; but if Chen Pu and her father had come forward, she would probably have suffered a big loss.  But he couldn't say this to Chen Pu yet, so he had to change to a more believable statement: "Don't go to your father! I mean, don't go to your father." He glared at  The two officials who were secretly watching the excitement at the yamen gate glanced at each other and scared them so much that they ran away and then said, "This matter is probably not directed at me. In other words, it is not directly directed at me"

    "Who is that aimed at?"

    "Zhang Shao!"

    Chen Pu understood immediately.  For some time, there have been rumors that Yanshan Admiral is to be replaced, with Zhang Shao of the Yanshan Guards being the most vocal.  Zhang Shao has a lot of seniority and outstanding military exploits. Except for the lack of dazzling fourth-grade titles, he is not inferior to many veterans in other aspects. Therefore, many people regard him as the next admiral of Yanshan.  Candidate.  Since Zhang Shao is going to come up, then the current Yanshan Admiral Zhuxu must come down.  But Zhu Xu served as a mere admiral in Yanshan for less than ten months, and came back dejected after being appointed in a glorious position. How could he bear this tone?  He has probably settled down after leaving Yanshan, but this does not mean that Zhang Shao will definitely be able to take over.  At this time, Zhu Xu exposed Yanshanwei's private sale of grain pig iron. Anyone with a discerning eye could understand at a glance that this was not directed at Shang Cheng - it had been almost a year since Shang Cheng left Yanshan;  Before Wei had done business with the two Tujieci tribesmen, Shang Cheng was no longer the admiral of Yanshan.  The prefaces are directed at Zhang Shao.  Zhang Shao could even do things like capitalizing on the enemy and betraying the country. How dare such a person be allowed to be the admiral of Yanshan?  As for Zhang Shao's fate, don't think about it, it will definitely not get better.  Of course, Zhuxu himself cannot escape the responsibility of "oversight".  However, even if he takes the responsibility for "negligence", what can he do?  Anyway, if he loses his position as the admiral of Yanshan this time, the Prime Minister will not be able to deal with him harshly; his career in the military has come to an end, and he can only have the false title of Shangzhu Kingdom.  What will happen to those who go home and take responsibility or not?

    While Chen Pu was thinking about it, he suddenly asked Shang Cheng in shock: "Look at it this way, Zhu Xu is going to fight Zhang Shao to hurt both sides. Yiyi, no, it's not that both sides will suffer. But if he wants to deal with Zhang Shao, then he should deal with Zhang Shao.  Now that I've done it, why do I still need to involve you?"

    Shang Changchang breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly: "Do you think this is Zhu Xu's idea?"

    ¡°If it¡¯s not Zhu Xu, who else could it be?¡±

    Shang Cheng was reluctant to even say anything.  With such an obvious answer, do you still need to ask?  He turned around and asked Tian Xiu: "Where will you treat me later?"

    "ah¡­¡­"

    "You said you want to invite me to dinner, where can I eat? First of all, I estimate that I will be grounded for a few months this time, so if you want to invite me to dinner, you have to hurry up. How about tonight? Maybe tomorrow I  I have to rush back and think about it behind closed doors."

    "Did you really give the grain and pig iron to the Tujiec people?" Tian Xiu stared at Shang Cheng and asked.

    Shang Cheng smacked his lips, not knowing how to explain.  The whole incident was not like Tian Xiu said, he gave the other party grain and pig iron.  Many political and military matters cannot be distinguished simply between ourselves and the enemy.  Under certain circumstances, even sworn enemies can unite and work together to achieve a common goal.  Just like him, Da Tengliangbu and Wannuerbu, under the circumstances at that time,Their enemy is the King of Donglu Valley.  He wanted to defeat or even eliminate the main force of Tu Jieci's left wing of the King of Donglu Valley, thereby improving the strategic situation of Yanshanwei and the northern border of Zhao. On the one hand, the Da Tengliang tribe and the Wannu'er tribe hoped to gain from Da Zhao.  The urgent need for winter food, on the other hand, is to hope that the strength of the core Tujieci tribe represented by the King of Donglu Valley will be weakened and faded, so as to obtain a more favorable position for themselves on the grassland.  It was precisely because both parties needed each other that they hit it off.

    He looked at Tian Xiu with some distress.  It seems that there must be many people who hold ideas like Tian Xiu.  But he can't just explain to such people every time he meets them - even if he explains it, others may not believe it

    Chen Pu suddenly clapped his hands and said, "You mean, this is Yan Gu's idea for Zhu Xu?"

    Shang Cheng nodded.  He swallowed and didn't want to say anything else.  Why did you think about this for so long?  Obviously, if Zhu Xu could come up with such a brilliant idea, would he still be so angry with Zhang Shao and others that he would fall ill?

    Chen Pu immediately raised another question: "I know you and Yan Gu are not getting along. But, haven't you always been in the same boat? How come he wants to harm you again?"

    This question is rather naive.  However, just like when Chen Pu heard that he was in trouble, she immediately went to her father to intercede without hesitation, her words were filled with sincere concern.  Shang Cheng was very moved and said: "If there was no chance, of course the river would not interfere with the well. But now that the opportunity has come, if he doesn't give me a stumbling block, then he is not Yan Baisheng. Anyway, he wants to hug the grass.  You might as well hunt rabbits on the way."

    The metaphor of Shang Cheng¡¯s image made both Chen Pu and Tian Xiu burst out laughing.

    Because Shang Cheng had been speaking in a relatively relaxed tone, Chen Pu's high-spirited heart gradually dropped.  She also followed Shang Cheng's tone and joked: "I think he can't kill the rabbit anyway, so he might as well not kill him. What if he scares the snake? Besides, even a rabbit will bite someone if it gets anxious."

    Shang Cheng laughed and said, "How could Yan Baisheng be as miserable as you said? This is the perfect time to catch a rabbit."

    Chen Pu has never felt that his mind is not enough as it is now.  In her opinion, it was understandable that Yan Gu took the opportunity to attack Zhang Shao when it was difficult for Zhu Xu to retain Admiral Yanshan.  After all, it was Zhang Shao who did the errand first, and someone else caught him by the tail. If you want to blame him, you can only blame Zhang Shao himself - at least he didn't do things carefully enough, right?  But she also felt that the strict idea was a bit superfluous.  If you attack Zhang Shao, just attack Zhang Shao. Why bother provoking Shang Cheng again?  Killing two birds with one stone sounds good, but making enemies on multiple fronts is not really a good idea.  Now when I heard Shang Cheng praising his good grasp of the opportunity, he was a little unconvinced and asked, "What's wrong with it?"

    "What month is it now? What's the solar term?"

    This is a puzzling question.  Chen Pu hesitated for a moment before saying, "At the end of September, we will be talking about the beginning of winter."

    "Yes, it's the beginning of winter. After the beginning of winter, the north wind gradually picks up. After a while, when the new wind blows, Duan Si and the others should have news."

    Chen Pu opened his mouth and had no idea what Shang Cheng was talking about.  She was discussing serious ideas with him, why did the topic suddenly change to paragraph 4?  Didn't Duan Si go to conquer the Eastern Japanese? What connection could he have with Yan Jiu's idea?

    Shang Cheng had no choice but to continue to explain to her: "Now that the things at Yanshan are revealed, no matter what, I have to stand up and take most of the responsibility, otherwise Zhang Shao will be finished in his life. All the prime ministers are  A person who understands will definitely understand that there must be my own reasons for doing this at that time, so there cannot be too severe punishment. However, selling grain and pig iron to the Tujiec people, even if it is sold to a grassland that is not the same as the Tujiec people,  Tribes are always wrong. Now that the matter has been brought to the Yushitai, there is no way to cover it up, so people can only take responsibility. I will carry the big head, and Zhang Shao will carry the small head. If both of them are punished at the same time, the punishment will not be fair.  Maybe it's too heavy, but it can also calm down the fierce debate between the court and the people." At this point, he stopped talking and looked at Chen Pu.  You should understand now, right?

    Chen Pu frowned and thought hard about Shang Cheng's words.  She still didn't understand anything.  On the other hand, Tian Xiu, who was next to him, vaguely heard some meaning.  But she only got a taste of it, and she was still far from understanding the whole story.

    "You still don't understand? I'm the one taking the lead. The punishment this time will definitely not be light. The fine and grounding are certain. Any false titles such as Minister of the Ministry of War, Deputy Commander of General Pingyuan Mansion, etc. will definitely be wiped off.  ; The title may not necessarily be reduced, but the title will definitely be reduced; whether you can continue to be a Shangzhu Kingdom depends on other people's faces and moods. This is a serious opportunity! If the entire winterThere is no news about Duan Si in the sky, which means that his army has failed. Yan Jiuzheng is going to add insult to injury and take away my title and cut off my title. From now on, I will be a common man. Can you be a  Rich men all have to see if Yan Baisheng plans to kill me.  "Shang Cheng said with a smile.

    Of course Chen Pu knew he was joking.  Even if the matter reaches the worst point where it is irreversible, it is impossible for the Prime Minister Gongsan to watch Yan Gu kill Shang Cheng.  She glared at Shang Cheng bitterly to see what depressing words you were saying, and asked directly: "What if Duan Si wins?"

    "If Duan Si wins, then I will be punished now."

    "What's the meaning?"

    Shang Cheng gave a wry smile and said, "I am now in the Shangzhu Kingdom, and I am still a county magistrate with a real title. I have a lot of messy duties. If Duan Si comes back after winning the battle, you say, I am such a thing.  What should I do, the initiator of the Japanese strategy? Should I ask the emperor to give me the bones, and then go back to my hometown to compile local chronicles?"

    "Ha!" Chen Pu couldn't help laughing, "You deserve it! Who made you take credit too early and too much? You should have given me some credit a long time ago. Look, you are at a disadvantage now! Make more contributions  , you don¡¯t even have a chance for a reward, and you force others to punish you first and then reinstate you as a reward."

    Tian Xiu also smiled and said: "It seems that Uncle Ying will not be able to escape this punishment regardless of what happened in Yanshan. However, the person who came up with the idea should have followed the trend of the times and premeditated the trap, right?" She said  The gap with Yan Gu's status and position was really too big, and the civil and military paths were different, so Yan Gu's name was hidden and left unmentioned.

    Shang Cheng just smiled and did not respond to Tian Xiu's words.

    What he is saying now is the most obvious of Yan Gu¡¯s ideas.  He has been puzzled ever since he heard about the Yanshan incident. Yan Gu's idea neither hurts his muscles nor moves his bones. He couldn't even move Zhang Shao. Yan Baisheng was so exhausted that he concocted such a terrible idea  idea?  What does this guy want to do?  Don't you just want to feed him and Zhang Shao a fly?  It's Chen Pu's words. If you just want to make him feel bored, it would be a bit alarming.  However, he really couldn't figure out what Yan Jiu had in mind

    Because Shang Cheng was likely to be punished soon, Tian Xiu and Chen Pu discussed it and temporarily changed their minds. They would not go visit Li Mu for the time being and treat Shang Cheng to dinner tonight.

    Shang Cheng readily agreed.

    The three of them agreed to meet at the Ministry of Works when they went to work, and then discuss where to eat.
