General's Good Friday

Chapter 41

"

"It's a long story, so let's make a long story short!" The prince was idle and bored, so he had to inquire about some private matters to amuse himself. When he got interested, he had to make it clear. Long! If there is anything hard to say, this king will not laugh at you!"

Zhou Wenbi lowered his head and smiled: "My lord, this is already a joke..."

The prince hurriedly shouted for injustice, and said again: "I promise not to joke! Tell me what's going on? The dignified Tanhualang, the official worship of the governor of Jingzhou, is there any lady who doesn't like it?"

That must be blind!

There was another wry smile on Zhou Wenbi's face.

The prince turned pale with shock: "There are really people who don't like it!"

Zhou Wenbi was extremely helpless: "My lord, you... oh..."

"It's impossible!" The prince frowned tightly, unable to understand, "What kind of vision does this have to be so that you can't look down on you?"

This... If he was a young lady, he would definitely be willing if Mrs. Zhou came to propose marriage!Why not? !

"The lower official said it earlier, it's a long story," Zhou Wenbi lowered his head, embarrassed and helpless, "It's not what you imagined."

"Then what exactly is it?" The prince was puzzled, "If you don't make it clear, I won't be able to sleep today!"

Zhou Wenbi showed a look of embarrassment: "It's...not that the lower officials intentionally deceived, it's just the reason, and the lower officials...don't know very well."

Emperor Jingming picked up King Qingzhou from the gate of the city, and when he returned to the palace, there would naturally be a reward for meritorious deeds—ahem, although the prince did not have much credit, the cutscene process cannot be skipped.

King Qingzhou was a little concerned about Emperor Jingming's treatment of Zhou Wenbi, so he asked a lot.

Emperor Jing Ming looked at the man in common clothes behind him, and smiled slightly: "Is this... don't worry, we will discuss it later!"

"But……"

King Qingzhou wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Emperor Jingming with a wave of his hand: "I know this matter well, just leave Qingwei alone! Sigh, I didn't expect such a thing to happen this time. I was really scared for several days. Suffer!"

The King of Qingzhou quickly shook his head and smiled: "Where did I suffer, it was because of my own carelessness, and I can't blame anyone--speaking of it, it was thanks to the dispatch of the emperor, ah, that Lord Shi, speaking of it, he is also my savior." ah!"

"If you don't tell me, I almost forgot," Emperor Jingming frowned, and said loudly, "Shi Zhong!"

When King Qingzhou turned his head, he saw Shi Zhongyue coming out of the crowd, and knelt down to Emperor Jingming: "The guilty minister is here."

King Qingzhou frowned: "Huh?"

How did you become a guilty minister?

Emperor Jingming said: "I asked you to go out with Qingwei to keep him safe and not to lose anything! Now that Qingwei came back safely, he almost lost his life. Are you guilty?"

"The guilty minister is guilty."

The king of Qingzhou came back to his senses: "This...brother, what crime is not guilty, Shi...Master Shi saved the life of my younger brother!"

Emperor Jing Ming raised his hand: "This is the rule of the Habayashi Army, don't interfere."

"But..." King Qingzhou became anxious, "But he...he has merit!"

"Shi Zhong," Emperor Jing Ming said in a loud voice, "say it yourself."

Shi Zhong looked ahead, his face was still dead, basking in the sun, even the scars on his face looked more ferocious, but Qingzhou King was anxious at the moment, he didn't care about his appearance.

"The guilty minister was ordered to protect the prince, causing the prince to be in danger, which is a crime of dereliction of duty, and protecting the prince's safety is his duty - the criminal minister has faults but no merit."

"Well," Emperor Jingming nodded, then turned to King Qingzhou, "Did you hear that?"

Qingzhou Wang Dun felt aggrieved - what kind of broken rules are these!There is no distinction between rewards and punishments!

He also deeply hates that this lifeless Shi Zhong doesn't even have the intention to defend himself, completely ignoring his good intentions, it's really irritating!

It's just that he didn't dare to say these words in public, so he lowered his voice and turned his face away: "The younger brother fell by himself, so it's none of his business! Brother Huang... If you are like this, what will happen to the younger brother in the future?" meet him?"

Emperor Jingming smiled slightly: "I said Qingwei, you are the prince and my younger brother, so naturally you can see him as you want."

"Brother Emperor!"

Emperor Jing Ming shook his head and continued to smile: "I know what you said, although he did not have any faults logically, but the Habayashi Army is the royal guard and has strict discipline. Since the rules are like this, then they have to follow the rules. I can't tolerate your pleading."

"But……"

King Qingzhou wanted to say something more, but Emperor Jingming interrupted him again.

"With so many people watching, what does it look like for you, a prince, to plead for him in such a disregard of the law?" After Emperor Jing Ming finished speaking, he said loudly to Shi Zhong, "Since you know your crime, go down and accept it yourself. Read it in Qingwei. After all, nothing happened, starting from today, you will be granted a ten-day vacation to recuperate at home, go."

Shi Zhong lowered his eyes: "The guilty minister thanked His Majesty."

King Qingzhou felt ashamed, although he lowered his head, he still stared at him intently, but saw that he looked blank, stood up, turned around and left without even looking at himself.

He was ashamed and annoyed all of a sudden, he couldn't beg for mercy in front of Emperor Jingming, and he couldn't catch up to explain it clearly, so he was upset and was taken away by Emperor Jingming.

The general followed Emperor Jingming to the city gate to meet King Qingzhou in the afternoon, but he didn't come back at dinner time. Xiaobai sat at the dining table, looking at the food on the table, and was in a daze. A servant outside reported that it was true. The general won't be back until later today, so I won't have dinner with him.

Xiaobai agreed, and asked again: "Did His Majesty host a banquet?"

"No," said the servant, "the general is going to Lord Habayashi's residence."

"Oh..." Xiaobai nodded, feeling a little lost in his heart, and smiled again, "Brother Shi saved himself from danger this time, and the general should visit him."

"Ma'am is right, but I have heard that Mr. Shi seems to have committed a crime and was punished with a staff. The general is not at ease. This is to go to his house to take care of him."

"What?" Xiaobai was taken aback, "What can Big Brother Shi do?"

"It seems...it has something to do with His Royal Highness King Qingzhou..."

The general didn't come back until nightfall, Xiaobai was alone at home, a little worried, and he had nothing to do anyway, so he brought his attendants who knew the way to visit Shi Zhong's house.

Both of Shi Zhong's parents died, and he has no brothers, sisters, wives or family members. He lives alone. Although he ranks as Zhonglang General, his house is just a small courtyard with two entrances. Xiaobai got off the car at the gate of the courtyard, and happened to see several other Individuals are also hurrying here.

Xiaobai knocked on the door and greeted them. He thought that the visitors might be Shi Zhongyu's colleagues in the army. Seeing that he was punished, he came to visit him. But after asking, they turned out to be from Qingzhou Palace. people.

"This... Master Shi was punished because of the lord, and the lord felt very sorry, so he asked me to prepare some small gifts and good wound medicine, and come to visit Lord Shi."

"So it is."

Xiaobai had vaguely heard about this matter from his servants earlier, he didn’t know much about those military laws and regulations, and he always thought that the king of Qingzhou was a kind and kind person, but now Shi Zhong clearly saved the prince, and the prince saw him being punished , but he didn't plead for him in front of Emperor Jingming, and felt a little awkward in his heart. After hearing these words, he thought, why didn't he plead for mercy before?Now they are sending some servants... Royal nobles, it really is like this.

He was not very happy in his heart, and his face was not so warm, when the servant of Shi Zhong's family came and opened the door, he explained the purpose of coming, he lifted his foot and followed the servant who led the way in.

In Shi Zhong's room, the doctor had already changed the medicine for him. A boy was watching the soup on the small stove outside. On the bed, I couldn't help but sigh.

"You are enough," Shi Zhong sighed again when he heard him, he couldn't help laughing, "Now my place is fine, I don't need you, you can go home by yourself."

"Alas..." the general sighed, and looked around, "You said that you have suffered a disaster, and there is no one in charge of your family, how can you rest assured?"

Shi Zhong squinted at him: "I just received a beating, but my mind is still clear, why not worry?"

The general curled his lips: "Oh! 'Take a beating'...It's easy to say, the fifty military sticks are fun to hit? Your colleagues are really... you don't show mercy at all!"

Shi Zhong looked at him and said: "Is this what a general should say? When you use military law in your army, you can also show mercy?"

The general was slightly embarrassed: "Can this be confused...Hi!"

After a pause, he couldn't help but sigh again.

When Xiaobai walked to the door, he heard the general talking inside: "I said you and the king of Qingzhou are destined to be against each other? Last time I sent him to Youzhou to hurt his face, and now Jingzhou has another military law. Let me see, When you see him in the future, you should walk around."

"Your Majesty has an order, how can I shirk it?"

"That's not the case. If you can evade it, it's okay to evade it a little bit. Anyway, people like Wang Ye won't remember you..."

The general was talking when Xiaobai walked in and greeted the two of them.

The general was taken aback: "What are you doing here?"

"I... I'll take a look," Xiaobai walked up to him, and smiled at Shi Zhong, "I heard they said Master Shi was injured, so I came here to take a look."

"You have a heart."

Before the general could speak, Shi Zhong responded.

The general glanced at Shi Zhong, then at Xiaobai, and fell silent, but thought in his heart, you two just saw each other
