C1526

"Oh!" Tang Yin answered gently. The expression on his face did not change, but the joy in his eyes dimmed a little.

Zong Yuan's greatest strength was his ability to discern one's speech and appearance, as well as his ability to discern one's thoughts. Seeing that, he secretly sighed in his heart, it seems that the King was still unwilling to let go of Qi Heng!

He changed the subject and immediately said: "Resist the merit!"

"What do you mean?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows.

"The reason why the soldiers are fighting bravely on the battlefield and attacking cities and plundering cities is to build a meritorious service. If the meritorious service cannot be defended against, then what is the use of meritorious service? The King can take back his title as Chief General, she can still hold the position of Marquis, and she can still temporarily hold the position of Regiment Chief in the Ninth Army. Once she has made some achievements in the future, it will not be too late for the King to bestow his title and title as King again. "

After Zong Yuan finished speaking in a single breath, he secretly observed Tang Yin's reaction.

In Tang Yin's eyes, Qi Heng was an indispensable talent in Feng Country. It wasn't that he knew how to lead troops for battle, nor was it that he couldn't do it without him, it was just that Qi Heng's martial power was too strong. Even compared to Shangguan Yuan, he wasn't much better.

The great general Wu Guang died in battle this time, and the four great generals of Feng Country were already lacking by one. Tang Yin originally wanted Qi Heng to take care of him, but he was too disappointing this time, causing a lot of trouble.

"Retire the official and temporarily retain his position to observe the aftermath ?" Tang Yin mumbled, nodded, and said: "That's good, I'll kill his spirit!" As he said that, he turned to Zhang Zhe and asked: "Master Zhang, what do you think?"

Anyone could tell that Tang Yin was very satisfied with such a punishment, but Zhang Zhe had the ability to ignore everything. He shook his head and said, "Reporting to the King, I thought... It's too light. "

"Ha!" Tang Yin smiled and asked: "I wonder if Master Zhang thinks that the punishment for Fan Family is too light or if the punishment for alignment is too light?"

"It's too light." Zhang Zhe said straightforwardly.

"That's it, you two can go back!" Tang Yin was really tired, he did not want to argue with Zhang Zhe anymore, so he waved his hand tiredly.

Zhang Zhe still wanted to speak, but seeing that Tang Yin had closed his eyes and fallen down, he could only swallow back into his stomach. He bowed to Zong Yuan and left the study.

Outside, Zong Yuan looked at the unreconciled Zhang Zhe as he shook his head and sighed.

The latter rolled her eyes at him and snorted coldly, "You have a glib tongue, flattering me!" Finished speaking, he flung his sleeves and took large strides, as if he was looking at Zong Yuan which made his eyes dirty.

Zong Yuan quickly caught up to him, and even though he didn't care if Zhang Zhe wanted to talk to him, he continued, "A severe punishment is undoubtedly a way to govern a nation, but it still requires a lot of methods and methods, so this time, Master Zhang has gone a bit too far ?"

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Zhe suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned, and glared at him. Zong Yuan, who was behind him, did not expect him to suddenly stop and nearly crashed into him.

"Master Zong, what do you mean by that? As the Censors, I am the supervisor of a hundred officials. I have reported wrongdoings and responsibilities, what's wrong with that? "

"Yes, yes, yes, but Master Zhang didn't do anything good." Zong Yuan said meaningfully: "Our King is not an unconscious King, there are some things I think Master Zhang can do in private, the King will definitely not sit by and do nothing, the ones who deserve punishment will definitely be punished, the ones who deserve punishment will definitely be punished, but the Master Zhang has caused such a ruckus that everyone on the streets know, making the King feel embarrassed. "When it comes to the internal affairs of the King, we should be extremely careful ?"

Seeing that the more he spoke, the uglier Zhang Zhe's face became, so Zong Yuan did not continue talking, he laughed dryly and cupped his hands: "Aiya, you haven't eaten anything all day, Master Zhang, how about we go to the Fengyang Building to eat wine together?"

"Humph!" The Master Zong will find someone else to accompany him! " Zhang Zhe didn't hold back at all as he glared at Zong Yuan and left with large strides.

Looking at Zhang Zhe's furious back, Zong Yuan could only bitterly smile. He muttered to himself: "Look at your temper ? The King can endure you for a while, but can she endure you ? "Sigh!"

Zong Yuan was both an elder at the founding of the Empire and an old official who helped the King the moment he started fighting, so he really couldn't bear to see anything happen to Zhang Zhe. From the bottom of his heart, he admired Zhang Zhe a lot, and he dared to say things that he didn't dare to say and to do things that he didn't dare to do.

Not long after Zhang Zhe and Zong Yuan left, Gu Chen arrived.

Ah Si entered the study room and was about to report to them when he saw Tang Yin lying on the ground with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep. Ah Si quietly came out and said to Ah San and Gu Chen who were outside: "The King is resting, Master Gu can wait here for a moment!"

Gu Chen nodded, then asked softly: "Is the King tired?"

Ah Si smiled bitterly and said: "Being tired is naturally because of being tired.

Gu Chen thought for a moment, then agreed as if he understood. Ah Si said: "There is a pavilion in the garden, Master Gu can go there to enjoy the cool air. When the King wakes up, I will go and get you."

"No need, I'll wait here!" Gu Chen stood in his original position without moving.

Time passed minute after minute, Gu Chen who was standing under the blazing sun started to sweat, in the end, he could only stand beside Ah San and hide under the eaves. After about two hours, a sound came from the study.2

Ah Si rushed into the study, only to see that Tang Yin was sitting up from the collapsed seat, he quickly walked forward and asked: "Has the King woken up?"

"Yes!" Tang Yin shook his still slightly dazed head, and muttered: "I actually fell asleep just now."

"Great King, the Master Gu has arrived. They are waiting outside!" Ah Si reminded her softly.

"Quick, let him in!" Tang Yin rubbed his eyes as he pulled himself together. He stood up and stretched his body.

Gu Chen walked in and knelt down. Tang Yin laughed and said: "Gu Chen, get up!"

"Thank you, King!"

"Gu Chen, you and your uncle Gu Chong should be the old officials of the previous dynasty right?"

Initially, Gu Chen thought that the King summoned him to ask about Fan Ju's case, but he did not expect to suddenly ask about this. Gu Chen felt that it was unexpected. He nodded his head, and said: "Yes my King, my uncle and this subject are both officials of the previous dynasty, but King Meng did not abandon them, and still retained them within the Lieutenant's Mansion."

In fact, it was courteous to say that Gu Chong and Gu Chen were the old officials of the previous dynasty. When Feng King was still alive, Gu Chong had already been in charge of the Lieutenant's Mansion, but later on, Zhong Tian had killed and usurped the throne, while Gu Chong still held onto the Lieutenant's Mansion. Later on, Tang Yin had replaced Zhong Tian and became the new Feng King. From Zhan Hua to Zhong Tian, Gu Chong and Gu Chen could already be considered the three great elders.

Tang Yin asked with a smile, "Gu Chen, tell me, how has this king been doing?"

Gu Chen was startled, what did the King mean by asking? He quickly kneeled on the ground and said with a serious expression, "The King is wise and wise, commanding the wind and dominating the north. Her great abilities and achievements are obvious to all!"

Tang Yin pulled him up with a smile and said calmly: "I just want to talk to you, don't be nervous." Pausing for a moment, he smiled and asked again, "So, in your eyes, I'm considered a qualified monarch?"

At this time, Gu Chen was already breaking out in a cold sweat. He was a straightforward person and had a lot of backbone, but in the end, he was still an official in front of Tang Yin.

He swallowed his saliva, knelt on the ground again, kowtowed, and said, "The case of the country leader was investigated by this subject, and there are some unjustifiable aspects, please punish him." Don't torture me like that again!

Tang Yin was amused, and said: "Not only do I feel that you haven't done anything wrong, instead, I feel that you have done very well."

The more he said it, the more Gu Chen felt a chill down his spine as if a great catastrophe was about to befall him. He got to his knees and said in a trembling voice, "The King shall punish this subject!"

Tang Yin looked at him helplessly. Why didn't he believe what he had said? He asked, "What is it? "Am I such a petty person in your heart?"

Gu Chen trembled, and quickly replied: "This subject does not dare, this subject definitely does not have that intention ?."

"Then stand up and speak!"

Sigh! Gu Chen carefully stood up, bowed his head and retreated to the side.

"A long time ago, I felt that you were very good at investigating cases. A case that you couldn't even find the arrow in the dark became easy in your hands. Such talent is really hard to come by!" Tang Yin praised his with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I dare not accept your praise." Until now, Gu Chen still could not understand the purpose of the King telling him all this. On the contrary, he was getting more and more confused.

Tang Yin didn't even need to look at his expression to know that Gu Chen was definitely confused.

He blinked his eyes and pondered for a moment. Then, retracting his smile, he slowly said: "Although I, Windy, seem to be the tyrant of the north, I am in fact very busy with problems and worries. Take this case of selling salt and iron using the Fan Family, if you don't investigate it, I don't know how long you'll have to wait before knowing that Fan Family is actually snatching money from the imperial government. I have no idea at all how many officials there are in this many counties, towns, and cities of the Feng Country who are greedy for money, retracting their wealth, and how many officials have colluded with each other. Sometimes, I really want a pair of clairvoyant eyes, a pair of clairaudient ears, and even a Mayor from the farthest little city.

After saying all that, he patted Gu Chen's shoulders and asked meaningfully: "Gu Chen, are you willing to be this king's clairvoyant and clairaudient?"

The Lieutenant's Mansion was only set up in the capital. Even if all the yamen runners and soldiers were to be added together, there would only be a total of eight thousand people. How could they manage to control every county, every county, and even every city and town in the entire country?
