Wicked documents
Chapter 109
All the monsters and dignitaries in the hall looked at each other, with more or less a hint of surprise on their faces. As for whether they were more shocked or doubtful, only they themselves knew.In short, the human general who returned from victory only brought out the heads of eight rebels. This seemingly disgusting and dirty method at first glance shocked the audience in an instant.
Doesn't it mean that Baizi is a cowardly and incompetent soft bone?How did he become an uncompromising hardliner?The difference between the two is not only that the south is completely different from the north, but the change is too fast, it is no wonder that the ministers present are a little unable to react.
Among the group of courtiers, if anyone can face the bloody head calmly, there is only one Sang Mu'an.Since the other party can concoct such a great gift in three years, it is nothing serious to bring the head to the hall today.It is really hard to say which behavior is more cruel to continuously force-feed my compatriots with drugs for three years, and to chop off the heads of their compatriots in order to make progress.
According to the tradition, the Lou clan is in charge of the vast land. Although they would not condescend to visit places like Fenghook Mountain in person, they still know the managers of the mine.Lou Tianyao stepped forward to take a closer look, and told the emperor sitting above, "This man is indeed Li Da."
This is totally expected.The reason why Xiran planned to omit the inspection step was that he was sure from the beginning that Xiaobai would not cheat on this, and he was not stupid, so of course he would not use Li Daitao's stiff tricks.Since he dared to bring these heads to the palace, of course he was not afraid of anyone's inspection.No, maybe the current situation is exactly what he expected, and the reactions of all the ministers were within Xiaobai's expectations, completely in the right place.
Well, since I saw it, I might as well look at it more carefully.
Xi Ran beckoned, "Bring them all up, let me have a look."
All the ministers were no strangers to the emperor's sudden change of mind.The emperor's face is like a book that is flipped at any time, and no one can figure out what he is thinking.
Following the order, Xiaobai and the others went up the steps, but they still didn't dare to walk in front of the throne.Just standing on the middle level of the steps allows the emperor to see clearly, and also won't presumptuously fall into the truth because of his behavior.
The emperor wasn't joking, he said he wanted to see it, and he really looked at it carefully, but unlike the courtiers who checked the identity of the dead, what Xiran looked at was not the appearance of the head, but the cut on the neck.
Li Da's head, the side of the neck section was very smooth, obviously the person who did it was very neat.But for some reason, the smooth wound suddenly became buckled halfway through, and the criss-crossed wound looked extremely hideous.The two completely different saber techniques, if it wasn't done by two people, then the guy who did it must have been stimulated in the middle, so he couldn't control the strength in his hand.
In comparison, Li Da's little granddaughter's head was well-groomed.It is indeed quite inappropriate to use the word tidy on the head, but other than that, there is no more appropriate and accurate description.Maybe it's because the young child's neck is detailed and the bones are still very soft. The broken part really doesn't have any burrs, and it couldn't be more neat.Not only that, it can be seen that the little girl's face has been carefully modified, the blood on the cheeks has been carefully wiped clean, and the soft hair is also tied into a small bun on both sides.
If it weren't for the emptiness from the neck down, she would even be cute and lovable.
The state of the heads of Li Da and his granddaughter showed two extremes, while the marks left by the incisions on the remaining six were different. Obviously, it was not one person who did it.
Xiran looked at it once, and her brows were already knitted into a ball.From these remaining traces, he seems to have vaguely deduced a story.
He waved his hand to let the attendant take the head down, while Xi Ran's gaze stayed on Xiao Bai's face.The other party just lowered his head in full capacity, as if he didn't dare to look up at the sky at will.Xi Ran sneered fiercely in her heart, didn't this guy still look fearless in the abandoned palace yesterday?Why did you put on a lamb's skin today?But he had never heard of a little lamb who dared to swagger through the market with a human head.
"Fenggoushan has done a good job in suppressing the rebellion. Tell me, what reward do you want?" Leaving aside what the previous emperors were like, Xi Ran seldom asked his subjects like this, as if he didn't care what the other party wanted. They will all be rewarded.
"I just did what I was supposed to do, and I dare not ask for rewards." The spoken answer is exactly the same as the respectful demeanor, which has been carefully trained and carefully considered.Showing a little bit of modesty, as if feeling ashamed and at a loss for standing in the hall as a white boy.
Xi Ran almost laughed out of anger.Don't dare ask for a reward?Does the other party seem to dare not ask for rewards for those small actions that the other party presses in private?Now everything is going according to Xiaobai's expectation, at least his military merit has become an unquestionable fact, and the courtiers present dare not deny their merit.And with credit, it is necessary to reward meritorious deeds.
"Xi... Your Majesty." A faint female voice floated out, even though it was not necessarily high-spirited, it still attracted everyone's attention.
The high priest, Hao Yan, would never speak at the court meeting unless it was absolutely necessary.Unlike the other three patriarchs of the four major families, Haoyu will not show up at the usual court meeting, but there will be rules for this monthly court meeting, so she has to go through a cutscene, often when no one comes. Note that it is often the case that the court will leave quietly when it is halfway through.
The high priest does not fight for power or profit. She and this bustling world seem to be separated by a thin film, and they do not interfere with each other.
All the ministers couldn't remember when and what the high priest did last time, so it's no wonder that everyone was dumbfounded and could only stare in that direction.
There was even a trace of sadness on Hao Yan's face that was forced by the wind and rain in the world, and she didn't care how many people she became the focus of attention, she just looked at two people, one was of course Xi Ran, and the other was It's Xiaobai. "Your Majesty, before you reward Bai...General, it's better to ask about some things."
Before the emperor could respond, Xiaobai was already a step ahead, "Do you have any doubts, sir? I will tell you the truth."
For various reasons, Xiaobai didn't want Xiran to be involved too early. The emperor's golden words should be used to make the final decision, not to ramble.Let's talk about whether Xi Ran will speak for these baizi sincerely, but at this stage, it is best for the emperor not to show too much favoritism.
No matter how you look at it, it is not suitable for a priest who is independent of Chen Xiao to question this kind of guy in court.She is not good at words at all, let alone turning words into sharp swords and hurting people invisible. With Haoyan's character, she just asked directly when she thought of something, "Why do you have to kill Li Da's family and send them back?" Bring your head to the court?"
Upon hearing the priest's question, the wily old man Meishu was the first to react, knowing that something bad was going to happen.There is nothing wrong with what Hao Yan asked, because she felt that she could not bear it because she had witnessed everything with her own eyes, and she hoped that the emperor thought twice was not wrong, the mistake was that her words were too easy to come true.
"My lord priest's question, I don't really understand." Xiaobai still stood on the steps and didn't intend to come down. He turned around and looked down at the high priest of the monster beast.In addition, he took the time to glance at the white-haired and bearded Meishu.
When he faced the emperor, he was respectful because he knew the gap between himself and the emperor, and he also understood that the emperor was his greatest support now.But in front of others, it seems that he no longer needs to be so humble.No one can please all the people in the world, so Xiaobai chose the one who should please the most.
"The imperial dynasty has always had a tradition of 'cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots' in countering rebellion. These rebels who don't know what is good or bad, would not regret dying. I just follow the tradition, and I really can't think of where I am wrong." Xiaobai's implication is very clear—— ——The monsters can be wiped out when suppressing the rebellion, but he just followed suit. If this behavior is wrong, then he is not the only one who is wrong.
Hao Yan was about to say, "But the ones you killed were all your own compatriots", Mei Shu put a hand behind her back and waved it quietly at her.The old man Mei was old and prestige, Hao Yan was also very persuasive, so he immediately kept his mouth shut.
Xiaobai felt somewhat regretful that he could not force the high priest to say that sentence.He wasn't afraid of getting the notoriety of "killing his own people". The more cruel he was to his own people, the more he proved his loyalty to the monsters?
Although he didn't see Meishu's little tricks in secret, Xiaobai could almost conclude that it was the old man who made a hindrance.He will retaliate on the spot, "As for the act of taking the head to the hall that the priest said, I admit that it is inappropriate, but I have nothing to do, otherwise, when Master Meixuan proposed to check the identity of the rebel, what should I do?" How to prove it?"
I have to admit that his technique of bringing disaster to the east is really beautiful.Moreover, this lowly Baizi doesn't seem to be afraid that he will be the target of public criticism.
Xiran has already noticed that something is wrong with the court meeting.Although Xiaobai's words and deeds still abide by a bottom line, it can be considered completely rude. At this time, as long as someone scolds "bold", there will be a group attack.However, the scene was unusually calm.
Speaking of the role of shouting in the hall, it is not suitable for everyone. The four major families will definitely not do such shameless things when they are self-confident, but those standing in the square outside the hall are not in the same place. The qualification to speak casually at the court meeting.Cut off the head and tail, only Sang Mu'an's middle-class courtiers with corpses and vegetarian meals left.
Xi Ran raised her eyelids, glanced at the tails of the officials in the hall, and saw Sang Mu'an and the others lowered their heads neatly as agreed in advance, more like pillars than pillars.Usually these people don't speak much at the court meeting, which is not surprising, to avoid offending the prominent and powerful, it is wise to protect themselves.But on today's occasion, they don't seem to have any reason to remain silent.
How did Xiran know that these seventeen middle-class courtiers were just trying to soften their mouths.
Having said that, Sang Mu'an and others may not really keep their promises.Even though monsters have always made great promises, it still depends on who they make promises to. Of course, it is a promise of a thousand dollars to the same race.But for Bai Zi, it may not be necessary to keep his promise in everything.
However, the gift is already in the bag, and at that juncture, Sang Mu'an and others will inevitably be hesitant.It won't take too long, as long as a brief hesitation is enough, after the most appropriate time point, even if Sang Mu'an and others want to express their opinions later, they will lose the opportunity forever.
It seemed easier to be dumb once, to be dumb a second time.As a result, until the end of the court meeting, these seventeen courtiers didn't even fart, and they were completely reduced to the background.
The high priest Hao Yan's interrogation in court ended in failure, so no one dared to use the head to make an argument.
The heads of the rebels were confirmed, and at the same time, the military achievements of Xiaobai and others were also settled.
Xiran had to think about the issue of rewards again. It was as complicated as it could be. He almost doubled his head.
Things have come to this point, it is obviously unreasonable to reward some ordinary gold and silver.Is it really necessary to give Xiaobai an official title?Xi Ran could imagine that scene, if he gave an official order, the whole audience would be in a state of uproar, and the roof of this hall might not be able to be kept.Xiaobai has gone from being a mediocre baizi to a serious general. This is already against the trend. If he continues to add bricks and tiles, it will definitely arouse public outrage.Even if Xiran intends to support some human forces, it must be done step by step.
In the eyes of the world, the emperor likes to play tricks, but who can understand the painstaking efforts of the emperor to maintain the balance of all parties?Thinking hard all the time!
In fact, Xiran has prepared a "reward", which will not stimulate the nerves of the monsters and dignitaries too much, and it is exactly what Xiaobai and other humans need most.Xiran originally intended that the Dachaohui would give this "thing" from the very beginning, but seeing Xiaobai's wonderful scenes one after another under his nose, he was a little uncertain whether his decision was correct or not .
"Xiaobai——" I'm still not used to addressing him with the word "General". Although I tried my best, it's still easy to call him.Xiran asked a question that no one had thought of, "You went to Fenghook Mountain yourself and saw the situation there with your own eyes. This rebellion is over, but the mine cannot just be abandoned. Management, do you have any ideas?"
The young general's face, which seemed to be carved out of stone, finally exploded, revealing the flesh and blood that had been so hard to conceal.
Anyone who is not deaf can hear the deep meaning behind the emperor's ordinary question - not only Fenggou Mountain, but also mining areas with a certain level of production have always been under the control of monsters, and all interests are involved behind this.In the past, there were frequent rebellions in Fenggou Mountain, but every time iron and blood methods were used to quell it, the subsequent management and rectification issues were still decided by the powerful and powerful monsters.
Unprecedented, this was the first time that any previous Emperor of the Monster Beast had asked a white man for his opinion on the management of the mining area.
Doesn't it mean that Baizi is a cowardly and incompetent soft bone?How did he become an uncompromising hardliner?The difference between the two is not only that the south is completely different from the north, but the change is too fast, it is no wonder that the ministers present are a little unable to react.
