Chapter 453: Dare to act
This was the first time Xue Shao had seen Shangguan Wan'er angry, but instead of being nervous, Xue Shao smiled.
The face is sorrowful, and it is still delicate.
"Yesterday, someone went to the Yushitai to report it to you, and the folded copy was handed directly to the queen of heaven, but the queen of heaven suppressed the matter." Shangguan Wan'er said, "Unexpectedly, above the court this morning, an iron-faced and selfless servant Yu Shi crossed his peak and publicly sued you above the court!" The queen of heaven knew the inside story, so she asked Guo Yuanzhen to publicly defend herself, which barely left you a little room for maneuver in front of the hundred officials. But now that you have handed over the people to Dali Temple, do you want to make things bigger? As soon as Dali Temple hears the case publicly, Yushitai will definitely file a case for investigation against you. When the city is full of wind and rain, people still don't know how you, the newly appointed Zhonglang, will be corrupt and bend the law and disregard people's lives! β
"The kindness of the queen of heaven, I can be regarded as understanding. But I don't think it's necessary for the diva to do that. Nor should it be. Xue Shao said.
"You...... What did you say? Shangguan Wan'er's expression became strange, as if she was happy.
"Miss Wan'er, don't be angry or excited." Xue Shao smiled lightly and said, "I think that the fact that I handed over the prisoners of the Thousand Horsemen to Dali Temple and the Imperial History Observatory to investigate me are completely different things. If the Imperial Historical Observatory wants to investigate, then they should be allowed to investigate it well, and there is no need for the Queen of Heaven to interfere and obstruct it, which at least violates the justice of the law. Besides, I didn't have any problems in the first place, but after the queen of heaven covered it up, people would think that I had a big problem! β
"General Xue, you ...... You! Shangguan Wan'er was really happy now, shook her head with a wry smile and sighed heavily, "Please forgive Wan'er for being rude!" Wan'er really can't help but scold you - you really don't know what to do! β
"Ahem! ......" Xue Shao coughed dryly, but still smiled.
The words "I don't know what to do" are scolded from other people's mouths, and Xue Shaobao will be angry if he is not even; But when it came out of Shangguan Wan'er's mouth, it was obviously a different taste. Xue Shao not only couldn't get angry, but felt very useful in his heart.
Because, the more angry Shangguan Wan'er is, the more it means that she cares!
"General Xue, if you keep smirking, Wan'er will please leave!" Shangguan Wan'er really looked a little angry.
"Okay, I won't laugh anymore." Xue Shao reluctantly held back a smile, straightened his face and said, "It's better like this, I'll go to see the queen of heaven once and make a statement to her old man in person." β
ββ¦β¦ Doesn't that make me particularly incompetent? Shangguan Wan'er's brows furrowed slightly, as if she was a little aggrieved.
Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's expression, Xue Shao almost softened, but immediately came back to his senses and said, "Miss Wan'er, this matter has nothing to do with you. It's all my business, you're just passing the word in the middle. β
"Hey...... Why don't you understand! Shangguan Wan'er sighed, shook her head, and turned her face away.
Xue Shao frowned slightly, and looked at Shangguan Wan'er suspiciously.
Shangguan Wan'er's eyes just looked out the window, completely ignoring Xue Shao's forced gaze.
Xue Shao touched his chin and pondered, what did Shangguan Wan'er mean by this? What does that mean?
This warm "cold war" had just begun, and suddenly a person recklessly broke into Xue Shao's official office, shouting while breaking in, "General, this is terrible!" β
"Panic!" Xue Shao scolded angrily.
Guo Yuanzhen was frozen as if he had been hit on the head, and when he looked into the room, he suddenly woke up, and hurriedly retreated again, stood outside the door decently, hugged his fists, and said: "My subordinates are rude, please forgive the general!" - General, your subordinates have something important to report! β
"General Xue is busy with official business, so I will retire first." Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly stood up.
Xue Shao nodded, "Please girl, deign to wait in the council hall first." I'll be right away. β
Shangguan Wan'er flew away, Guo Yuanzhen walked into the room and sniffed exaggeratedly, "It's so fragrant!" β
"Do you want to fight?" Xue Shao squinted at him with bad intentions.
"Hey, hey! Don't dare, don't dare! Guo Yuanzhen laughed twice, "When did she come?" Anyway, you have to close the door, and it will save you from being knocked into a good thing! β
"Nonsense." Xue Shao said, "What did you just say, what's wrong?" β
"You should be able to guess!" Guo Yuanzhen pursed his lips, "The left and right Yulin Wei are about to fry!" β
Xue Shao frowned, "What is the specific situation?" β
"Cheng Wuting and Li Jinxing were around Lin Yuwei at the same time, and they began to rectify military discipline, and they arrested many people as soon as they made a move." Guo Yuanzhen said, "It's only been less than a day, and the two of them have encountered a lot of people who come to the back door to intercede and ask for protection, including people like the emperor's relatives and the prime minister of Shangshu." There is a way to reach out and not hit smiling people, they feel very embarrassed. β
"These are all expected." Xue Shao nodded, "What is the reaction within the Yulin Army?" β
"That's what I said, that's amazing!" Guo Yuanzhen said, "The internal reaction of the Yulin Army was very fierce, and a group of generals took the lead in forcing the palace together on the grounds of 'the law does not blame the public', and the sergeants were almost about to mutiny. Cheng Wuting and Li Jinxing saw that they were about to lose their bearing. β
Xue Shao nodded slowly thoughtfully, "Cheng Wuting deliberately asked you to go over and take a look, which means urging me to set an example." β
"That's what he meant, I guess." Guo Yuanzhen said, "Although the official positions of the two of them are higher than yours, in terms of foundation and status in Chang'an, the two of them are far inferior to you." The Thousand Cavalry Feather Forest was originally one, and now you are working together to use the Beiya Forbidden Army to rectify military discipline, and the two of them are not confident enough, and you can only take the lead in this matter! - General, the burden on your shoulders seems to be heavier! β
Xue Shao smiled slightly bitterly, "There was a person just now, and the pressure exerted on me was far greater than that of the two great generals of the Yulin Army!" β
Guo Yuanzhen suddenly woke up and said in a low voice: "Shangguan Wan'er, on behalf of the queen of heaven?" β
"Otherwise, what do you think?" Xue Shao stared at him with a straight face.
"It wasn't a private tryst...... Cough! Guo Yuanzhen scratched his head, "The queen of heaven came to intervene directly, how can this be good?" β
Xue Shao blinked his eyes and thought for a while, "Now the key is to see what kind of attitude His Majesty has over there." β
"Why don't we release Zhao Yijie first to get His Majesty's support?" Guo Yuanzhen said.
"Confused, bad idea!" Xue Shao scolded angrily, "Isn't that a clear example of selfish fraud and shooting yourself in the foot?" β
Guo Yuanzhen smiled bitterly, "What should I do?" β
"There is no other way, I can only go in person and face the two saints directly." Xue Shao said, "If it can be explained, the matter of rectifying military discipline in the Northern Ya Forbidden Army can be implemented, and the position of our three generals of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army will be able to sit firmly." β
Guo Yuanzhen's eyebrows tightened and pondered for a moment, then nodded bitterly, "Except for you, we are not qualified to face the Second Sage directly." It seems that this matter can only be solved in this way! ββThe question is, what if you fail to convince the two saints? β
"Then I, a thousand horsemen, will be considered to have done it." Xue Shao said, "A man dares to do it, and I will try my best to take all the responsibilities when the time comes, and I will not drag Cheng Wuting, Li Jinxing, Xue Chuyu and you brothers into the water." β
"You're not right!" Guo Yuanzhen was shocked, "Didn't you say that Cheng Wuting and Li Jinxing would share all the responsibilities with you?" β
"Having said that, I was the first to pick up the matter, and they were forced to follow me out of desperation. If I really want them to take responsibility together, it will seem that I am too unrighteous and unkind. It's not a big deal to lose my official position, but if I lose my faith, that's my biggest loss and biggest shame. Xue Shao said, "As for you, be honest with me when the time comes, don't run around stupidly to excuse me, or do other stupid things." Even if I make a big mistake, I am still the concubine of Princess Taiping, and I will not be unlucky, at most I will be dismissed. You must not mess around, I don't know how many people are staring at us now, just waiting to fall into the well and grab the handle! β
"......" Guo Yuanzhen was both distressed and moved, and was speechless for a while, so he could only calm his mood with deep breathing.
"No more, I'm leaving. Shangguan Wan'er is still waiting for me. Xue Shao got up and walked out.
Guo Yuanzhen suddenly grabbed Xue Shao.
"What for?" Xue Shao looked at him in surprise.
"We said it when we were in the Three Swords Brigade, we will share blessings and misfortunes, and live and die together!" Guo Yuanzhen looked at Xue Shao and said very seriously.
Xue Shao blinked, and suddenly grinned and shook off Guo Yuanzhen's hand, "Like a mother-in-law, you want to die or live - I'm leaving!" β
Shangguan Wan'er rarely walked around restlessly like she did now, and her eyebrows were furrowed. Suddenly, when she looked up and saw Xue Shao coming, she hurriedly greeted her, "Childe, if you are still in a hurry, please immediately recover the person from Dali Temple." β
"It's still comfortable to listen to." Xue Shao smiled, "General Xue, it sounds too raw. β
"I'm serious!" Shangguan Wan'er raised her voice eagerly, "Childe, please think about it carefully!" β
"There's nothing to think about." Xue Shao said, "I have already sent the prisoners to Dali Temple early in the morning and handed them over to Di Renjie." β
"Di Renjie?! ......" Shangguan Wan'er almost took a breath of cool air, this judge is notoriously selfless and selfless, and his six relatives do not recognize him, and the prisoner has fallen into his hands, even if Emperor Taizong and his own ancestors are reincarnated, there is no favor to talk about!
"That's right, it's the Dali Temple Cheng who has tried more than 2,000 cases a year, without any mistakes or omissions, and no one has shouted injustice, and he is the only one who has won the 'middle and upper' Dali Temple in the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials for decades, Di Renjie." Xue Shao said with a glance.
Shangguan Wan'er almost hated itchy, and said word by word: "I know him very well, I don't need you to explain it to me at length!" β
"Oh, I forgot, the Shangguan girl is well-read and knowledgeable, and she knows everything about the rules and regulations of this dynasty, the character reviews and the secrets of deeds." Xue Shao said with a smile, "Then the question is, does Miss Shangguan know who Yuan Fang is?" β
"......" Shangguan Wan'er was slightly stunned, and blinked her beautiful eyes full of aura again and again, "I don't seem to remember that there is such a number one person." β
Xue Shao couldn't help laughing.
"I'm ignoring you!" Shangguan Wan'er finally saw that Xue Shao was teasing her, and walked outside as soon as she stroked her cloud sleeves.
