Gu Shubai, who was far away in Xikun, didn't notice what happened in Beili Dynasty.
After Kunwu was injured ascended the throne, he helped him to unify all the forces in Xikun, gradually reaching the point of political harmony and harmony.
"Well, am I a good puppet emperor?"
Kun Wu put on his shoulders with no skin and no face, Gu Shubai pushed and turned around, he was seated on the stone chair beside him, and he couldn't help but let out a hum.
The Yuhuayuan is picturesque in spring, and two men sitting at the stone table in the pavilion can be considered as a half-day leisure.
Gu Shubai said indifferently: "If you do too well, it's not like you. You are still suitable to make trouble, make your minds eye-catching, and then look at the excitement."
"That's wrong."
Kun Wushang lifted the teapot on the table and poured him a cup of tea, "You are now the general of Bei Li and the husband of Yufu. My wealth and life are in your hands. Where can you dare to make trouble? "
Gu Shubai glanced at him, who blinked at him harmlessly.
He looked away, "What the hell do you want to do?"
"Hello, do you believe that I will die once? It is not easy for me to be a puppet emperor. Is there any trust between people?"
Kun Wu scolded and got up and walked outside the pavilion, showing no demeanor of being a man.
He had dreamed of this position before, and when he was in this position, he didn't have to look at others to survive, and he didn't have to be at the mercy of his powerful father and brother.
Now that I am in this position, I know it's nothing more than that.
He let out a long sigh, and his hand gradually moved away.
Behind the pavilion, Yan Zheng walked up quickly, staring suspiciously at the back of Kun Wu's injury, "General, are you worried about Kun Wu's injury?"
"do not worry."
Gu Shubai smiled, "I knew what trick he was using."
Yan Zheng was taken aback, "What trick does he want to use? Is it because he secretly raises soldiers to rebel, or secretly poisons you?"
He raised Gu Shubai's teacup and looked at it, but he didn't see anything unusual.
Gu Shubai snatched the teacup. "If he is really poisoned, do you think you can tell it?"
"Then what trick did he use?"
Yan Zheng broke the casserole's posture of asking the end, Gu Shu couldn't help him, so he had to confess: "He gave me all the Seal and Soldier Talisman. This is his trick in itself."
"Is it still worth it?!"
Yan Zheng hurriedly said: "That... That..."
He was "that" for a long time and couldn't tell why, he couldn't tell Gu Shubai to return the Seal and Soldier Talisman that Kun Wu injured to him, right
Even if he knew this was a trick, it would be difficult for him to stop it.
Gu Shubai smiled and said: "Don't worry, this matter is only about me, not about the lieutenant soldiers. Now that there are more and more soldiers recruited, I have to work hard for you and Yu Yang to train. It must not be because of the situation. Good thing, I gave up the requirement of soldiers. I just thought that my subordinates were not allowed to have spoiled soldiers."
Yan Zheng touched his nose with a guilty expression on his face.
Gu Shubai was about to ask a question, and Yan Zheng said, "What kind of a soldier? Is it a ten-shot arrow that can't even be shot at the center, or a competition that can't beat the opponent's ten moves, or..."
"neither."
Gu Shubai glanced at him sternly, "If you are not good at archery, you can learn it. If you have poor physical strength, you can start with light work. The fire-headed army is also good. If you are not good at martial arts, go to the clerical or military account. It is always useful. The place of martial arts. I look down on the spoilers who do not respect military orders, act indiscriminately, and harass the people. In order to prevent this from happening, you who are generals must strictly supervise them."
Yan Zheng looked at him bitterly, "But... what should I do if it has already happened?"
Gu Shubai's face shrank, and Yan Zheng saw that the situation was not very busy and said, "I came here to report this incident, and I just forgot about Kunwu's injury. A dispute broke out among the people, and a vegetable farmer’s cart was overturned, and a cart of cabbage was destroyed."
"Then what?"
"Then the soldiers reported it to me, and I asked them to apologize to the vegetable farmer and double the money for the cart of cabbage. The vegetable farmer was swearing and refused to accept it, but the onlookers dispersed."
Hearing that he said that he had already compensated people’s money, Gu Shubai’s expression became better. “There has never been such a thing in the army. I guess it is because the newly recruited soldiers are not clear enough about the military rules to do this?”
Yan Zheng's expression became more and more embarrassed, "It is not the newly recruited soldier, but the soldier we brought from Beili, and it is under General Ouyang. It is a matter of General Ouyang's decentness, I dare not deal with it at will, so I came to ask the general for instructions. Down."
Gu Shubai got up and walked outside the pavilion, "Take me to see."
Several of the soldiers who committed the crime were locked up in the barracks waiting to be dealt with. When Gu Shubai arrived, four or five people were tied up with their hands and feet and left in the camp. They were very excited to see him.
Gu Shubai took a look, and it turned out to be a familiar face.
Precisely because it was General Ouyang's soldiers who had experienced many battles, Gu Shubaiyue could not tolerate them taking the lead in violating military regulations. "What happened on earth? Tell yourself."
He was indifferent, and he didn't give a hint of affection because they were under General Ouyang.
Several soldiers looked at each other, and finally one of them said: "General, we know your rules, from Beili all the way to Dongling and then to Xikun, have you violated it? This time it is not our intention to violate the order, it is the vegetable seller. The old man said bad words. We just passed by him, and he called us stupid big people from Bei Li, saying that we can only fight wars and have no brains, you say we are angry?"
Gu Shu frowned, "An old man selling vegetables, dare to take the initiative to provoke the five of you tall soldiers?"
The soldier was speechless when he asked, and he looked innocent, "We are also weird! But this is absolutely true. We clearly heard him scold us!"
"Yeah, General, it's true, how about we can do what he can do with his car? We don't grab cabbage!"
Yan Zheng couldn't help but laugh from the side. Gu Shubai glanced at him. The latter hurriedly said, "General, I don't think they are like telling lies. Think about it, the people in Xikun are tough. Now the whole country has fallen. It's possible that the stubborn old man cursed harshly without knowing the sky."
"Yeah, what General Yan said makes sense!"
When several soldiers saw Yan Zheng speaking for them, they quickly agreed.
Gu Shubai shook his head helplessly, "Even if he scolds you, the other party is just an unarmed old man, why did he kick his car?"
A soldier said: "At that time, there were many people onlookers who were going to the market in the morning. Our five big men were scolded bloody by a little old man. How can we swallow this breath? We were really impulsive at the time, scolding and scolding. But he couldn't beat him, so he turned his car and scared him and wanted him to shut up."
Another soldier added, "Who knew that the cabbage in his car was so sloppy and fell to the ground as soon as it was lifted. The old man was so angry that he sat on the ground and cried when he saw someone in the army. As if we bullied him, we are really wronged!"
Under the anger of being insulted, they knew that controlling themselves and not beating people was not considered lawless.
Gu Shubai was thinking about this, and Yan Zheng tentatively said: "General, they didn't do anything excessive. They just accidentally lifted someone's car. Isn't it already compensated? Now that the arrest has also been arrested. It's closed, why don't you deal with it lightly?"
Gu Shubai also wanted to deal with it lightly as he said, but...
He raised his head and looked at the soldiers, "You are all soldiers brought by General Ouyang. I have seen your performance on the martial arts field, and it is indeed brilliant. However, if I look at General Ouyang’s face today, or Because your martial arts are extraordinary, please forgive you. How do you let me take over? Will the people of Xikun still believe that we have no promises in the autumn? Will the tens of thousands of newly recruited soldiers strictly abide by the military order?"
"Because you are top-notch, you must set an example for the soldiers below, and you can't make a single mistake. I won't have a hint of sympathy, and everything is handled in accordance with military law."
Several soldiers lowered their heads when they heard the words, and Gu Shubai stood up and pointed at Yan Zheng and said: "Today, Yan Zheng and the people had such a bad influence, and I will punish them accordingly. If you don’t believe it, in the future, Even though I watched my words and deeds, Gu Shubai, I and the soldiers were punished for everything that did not guard the military rules."
After he said that, he raised his hand and said decisively: "Come on, drag out and hit thirty army sticks each, in order to behave like you!"
The five soldiers had not reacted yet, and had been dragged out by the people outside the account. Yan Zheng looked at this scene with fear, lest he would be beaten if he was not careful.
Thirty army sticks...
The thirty army sticks in the army were far more serious than the ones that Gu Huaijiang could hit casually when he was teaching his son. Even if the soldiers of the Guhou Mansion beat the children for Gu Huaijiang, they couldn't really be willing to beat them.
But the military is different. The military discipline is as great as a mountain. If the soldiers responsible for the execution of the sentence are not in place, they will also be punished for violating military discipline.
Not long after, the shouts of the five soldiers reached the big tent.
Yan Zheng opened the corner of the tent and looked out, and saw five benches lined up one by one. The five soldiers were dragged and tied to the benches. Soldiers onlookers circled and circled.
Presumably after the fight today, no one would dare to have disputes with the people, even if they were insulted, they would walk around.
Yan Zheng just looked at the hideous expressions of the soldiers onlookers, and he knew how fierce the fight was. He didn't dare to look at him for a while. When he turned around, he suddenly found that Gu Shubai was standing behind him.
He was taken aback.
"Check that old farmer who sells vegetables. If he is really a cynical and stubborn old man, if someone instructs him, please report it to me."
As Gu Shubai said, he opened the tent door and strode away.
In the dead of night, a faint candle was still lit in the military tent, and I could hear the groan of oh oh when I got close.
Yan Zheng opened the tent and went in, only to see that the five soldiers who had been beaten in the day were lying on the bed in a strange posture, giving each other medicine.
He couldn't help but chuckle, and the five people blushed immediately.
"Don't go, I'll bring you some good medicine, so you can be alive and kicking in less than ten days."
As Yan Zheng said, let the small soldiers behind him come in and put medicines for five of them one by one.
The medicine didn't know what kind of elixir it was, it smelled of cool herbal medicine, and it didn't hurt after applying it to the wound. It was cold and numb.
The soldier who was on the medicine immediately flashed in his eyes, "General Yan, what kind of medicine is so powerful? I won't hurt all of a sudden!"
Yan Zheng said triumphantly: "This is the Immortal Valley secret medicine given by your majesty. There is only such a small bottle in total. Usually I can't bear to use it if I'm injured. It's cheaper for you today."
Hearing that it was the imperial medicine or the secret medicine of Immortal Valley, the expressions of several soldiers immediately became respectful.
Some people were grateful, "General Yan's affection for us, we are not unforgettable. You have given us such a precious medicine, we really don't know how to repay you."
"Yes, the general's shot was too cruel this time."
The soldier lying next to Yan Zheng was unwilling to say: "It was obviously the old man who provoked. We apologized and lost money and lost money. We have to come back to be dealt with by military law. How can I be convinced... Ouch! General Yan, what are you doing? ?!"
As he was talking, Yan Zheng suddenly slapped the wound on his butt, so pain that he almost jumped out of the bed.
"What are you doing, of course I hit you!"
Yan Zheng gave him a glance, "You are so bold, dare to speak ill of the general in front of me? Do you know who sent me the secret medicine of Immortal Valley?"
Everyone realized later and couldn't believe it: "Is it a general?"
"Who else can there be without a general?"
Yan Zheng snorted, "Do you think that I have this decent Immortal Valley secret medicine gifted by your majesty? This medicine is given to the general by your majesty, so that he can recover as soon as possible if he is injured on the battlefield. The general himself is usually reluctant to use it. Today, I specially asked me to bring it to you, but you still say bad things about him? Humph, I am so angry that I want to scrape the medicine off you!"
"Don't!"
The soldier next to him quickly wrapped himself in a quilt, for fear that he would really scrape off the medicine that had been applied.
"General Yan, why is this? The general beat us mercilessly and asked you to send us such a precious medicine to heal us. Why is this necessary?"
Yan Zheng sighed, "You don't understand, the general must be in your position to seek government. He knows that today's affairs are not your fault, you are soldiers brought by General Ouyang, and you have never bullied the old civilians. Reason. But he knows that other soldiers don't know! Especially those new recruits who have just absorbed in, their eyes are fixed on you veterans, and they are doing things like you!"
"You said to yourself that you know what happened in the army today. If you don't fight you, the new recruits will follow suit in the future, then what have we become? Are we not the same as Dongling's mob rebel army? There is no legal system at all. Isn't that chaos in the army?"
Everyone listened to his explanation, and only then did they dispel the grievances in their hearts and realized the difficulty of Gu Shubai as a general.
Others only saw the boundless scenery of him holding a large army, but they didn't know how many worries he had to do.
Seeing the guilt on the faces of the people, Yan Zheng said: "Well, you don't have to be like a maiden, you sigh here. The general said, you don't have to argue with the people yourself when you encounter such a thing in the future. A team of five hundred people has been specially designated to picket such incidents in the city. If the people insult you for no reason, there will be someone who will imprison the troubled people on the charge of insulting the sergeant."
Everyone immediately became energetic, "This is a good idea! I thought we could only endure scolding in the future, the general has a way!"
"Yes, this way, we can protect ourselves without being attacked by military batons. Seeing those Xikun people who don't have long eyes, dare not scold them!"
Yan Zheng proudly lifted his chin, "That's natural, do you think our general is a complacent temperament? No, he is a man who loves soldiers like a child, just like our master Gu Hou back then!"
This matter is forgotten, as Gu Shubai expected, since then, the military has strict discipline and no one dares to violate it.
The people in Xixian City did not dare to cause trouble again, and the relationship between the military and civilians was getting better and better. Kun Yuyang even organized soldiers to plow and grow land for the widows and lone farmers in the suburbs to help them produce labor.
However, this small incident reached the capital and turned into a completely different situation.
"What? Gu Shubai openly bullied Bei Li's soldiers in the army, how did he bully?"
Taifu Bao was very frightened when he received the secret report. For example, Yun Po was temporarily dismissed in the house today, and all the affairs of the Korean Central Committee were handled by him. This letter from the spy was also delivered to him as soon as possible.

Question and answer session with prizes: (In view of the fact that the previous question was wiped out, this time the question is to send sub-questions, haha)
Why did Kunwu take the initiative to hand over both the Seal of the State and the Soldier Talisman to Gu Shubai
