Chapter 997 Punishing Chen Sheng
Chen Sheng was indeed surprised at first, but he soon understood.
Yes, if you can't even understand this, how can you accompany Wu Zheng all the way?
As the saying goes, like-mindedness, one has the same aspirations first, and then one has the same aspirations.
Chen Sheng turned his body, sat down and knelt down, bowed and said, "I shouldn't have led Li Haiwei back to Beijing without authorization... Please punish the prince!"
Wu Zheng said coldly: "Punishment? That's not enough. Do you know how many Jianyang Guards and the soldiers of the Jingwei died in front of Dasheng Pass because of your recklessness? If I hadn't arrived in time, the Qing army would have been at the city at this time, but even so, Xia Wanchun, the Taiping Hou, was seriously injured, Liao Zhongping, the commander of the Jingwei Commander, almost died, and the soldiers of the two guards suffered nearly 10,000 casualties..."
"I am guilty... Please punish me!" Chen Sheng bowed to the ground.
Wu Zheng said in a deep voice: "I thank you... But you are indeed wrong. Even if you want to avenge me, you should choose the right opportunity. The Qing army really attacked Yingtian Mansion, and died not only the people who harmed me, but also countless innocent people and our relatives and friends. As well as yourself, this crime must be punished. Can you convince me if you give up all your official positions?"
Chen Sheng didn't even raise his head and replied: "I am convinced!"
Wu Zheng sighed and said, "But now the war is urgent, I will give you a chance to make meritorious service. You will temporarily serve as the commander of Lihaiwei and immediately go to Dasheng Pass to recover the lost land. Give you a day. Before sunset tomorrow, I will hear the good news. Can I do it?"
Chen Sheng suddenly looked up and Ying said in tears: "I will never let the prince down. If I cannot take back the lost land on the other side, I will die in front of the formation!"
Wu Zheng said angrily: "Fuck, I didn't tell you to die... It's not worth changing with the commander of Li Haiwei!"
Chen Sheng quickly said, "I have lost my word."
"Go...come back alive!"
When Chen Sheng rushed out of the hall gate, he suddenly came back and said, "Li Haiwei left, the prince...why, leave a team of people?"
Wu Zheng waved his hand, and had already stepped forward towards Mo Zunnian, saying, "No need, do your duty!"
"Yes!" Chen Sheng replied.
Although I don’t know if Wu Zheng had arranged the manpower, Chen Sheng did not withdraw the 300 people surrounding Fengtian Palace.
....
Mo Zhinian looked at Wu Zheng, and he sighed in his heart that this child was becoming more and more familiar with the way of controlling people.
It is easy to say both kindness and power, but difficult to do.
The difficulty lies in the fact that power needs to be justified.
Only in this way can the person who gives will not feel resentful.
Great righteousness is the best excuse to show your power.
In Mo Zhinian's eyes, Wu Zheng's ability to control his subordinates was not excellent, but he became more and more popular. In fact, there were many times when Wu Zheng was very popular with his subordinates. For example, Chen Sheng, when he heard that Wu Zheng was in trouble, he would fight back to the capital regardless of his concern.
If Chen Shengru is a loyal person, this move is natural, then it is like Ma Shiying.
Mo Zhinian was really surprised that Ma Shiying performed last night.
This made Mo Zhinian realize that the ability to control the situation is not good, either.
If it is too excellent, it is superior.
If it is too high, there will naturally be a distance. If the distance is too far, cracks will appear.
On the contrary, it is mediocre, making people feel close and depended, and perhaps another way to control it.
Others may not understand why Wu Zheng criticized Chen Sheng in public, but Mo Zhinian understood very well.
Just because Chen Sheng was unauthorized to transfer troops into the capital this time, leading to the catastrophic consequences of the Dasheng Pass, this crime was enough to make Chen Sheng lose his life.
Neither the court nor Wu Zheng could avoid Chen Sheng's crimes.
If this crime is brought up by the court officials, it will be degenerated even if it does not die.
Only when Wu Zheng dealt with it in public can all impeachment and accusations be blocked and Chen Sheng can be protected.
The court officials were afraid of Wu Zheng's power, and seeing that he had taken the initiative to deal with Chen Sheng, they naturally would not feel uncomfortable anymore. After all, Chen Sheng was the commander of the first guard, and the court also granted him the third rank of Wusan rank. Once he was dismissed, the punishment was severe.
Of course, Wu Zheng’s intention is not the only way to be honest.
For example, Huang Daozhou, Qian Sule, Wang Yi, they could all guess Wu Zheng's intention.
However, the first two people could not play against Wu Zheng, while the latter did not focus on Chen Sheng. At the same time, Wu Zheng's punishment on Chen Sheng could barely reach his tolerance line.
Wu Zheng smiled and approached Mo Zhinian, "I can't sleep all night, I'm so tired that I'm scared!"
"The prince is a lucky person and has his own appearance." Mo Zhinian reached out and pinched Wu Zheng's arm, pursed his lips and choked, "Your Majesty knows that everything about me and the Mo family is tied to the prince... The prince must not do such a reckless thing again!"
Wu Zheng was a little moved and pressed Mo Zhinian's hand and said, "This time it was indeed an accident... I won't know if it's next time."
Mo Yunian was shocked, with his old eyes open, what next time is there?
"Prince, Prince, Ma, congratulate the prince to turn bad luck into good fortune." Ma Shiying took advantage of the situation and stepped forward and bowed.
Wu Zheng turned his face and laughed: "Ma Shiying, if I am really killed today, will you choose a new lord in your heart?"
Ma Shiying's fat face was shaking like a twitch, "Don't make fun of him, Shiying's second half of his life is only the prince!"
Wu Zheng burst into laughter.
The court officials in the palace paid attention to Wu Zheng. Some of them were happy, some were worried, some were excited, and some were trembling!
But Wu Zheng was standing at the gate of the hall to chat, which meant that he would talk about his leisure chapter until the end of the world.
"You did a good job! It's time to get you promoted." Wu Zheng patted Ma Shiying's shoulder and said with a smile. Ma Shiying's body fell inch by inch with Wu Zheng's continuous patting. This skill was very well controlled. After all, he was an old fox in the officialdom for decades. I'm afraid that few people in the world can do it.
"Thank you for your support," Ma Shiying replied with a smile.
...
Wu Zheng finally walked in.
Every step is slow and steady.
Following Wu Zheng's footsteps, the officials on both sides subconsciously squeezed to both sides, as if they were being squeezed away by Wu Zheng.
Every step is like stepping on people's hearts.
However, Wu Zheng looked straight at Huang Daozhou and Qian Sule.
When passing by Yuan Chengli, Wu Zheng paused, and didn't even look at him, just shook his sleeves.
So, several Lihaigu soldiers rushed over and directly pressed Yuan Chengli to the ground.
Yuan Chengli was so scared that she couldn't even speak. She was taken off and dragged out, and she didn't even beg for mercy or cry for help.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Wu Zheng walked to Huang Daozhou and Qian Sule and the others.
Surong bowed and said, "If you have any help, the Grand Tutor is worried!"
Huang Daozhou looked at Wu Zheng deeply, "It is a great blessing for the dynasty to come back safely!"
Qian Sule nodded and said, "First big and then small, first country and then family, first public revenge and then personal grudges. What you said at the gate of the hall is the most reasonable!"
