As soon as Chu Yan came out, a soldier came forward to report.
"General Chu, General Shi has brought his men to our Jingying camp and wants to see you."
"Really? Well...let them in."
Chu Yan was not surprised by Shi Qingxue's visit. He only needed to think about it for a moment to be sure that it was because of what happened at the trading company yesterday.
After receiving the permission, the soldier went down quickly.
After a while, with the sound of horse hooves, Shi Qingxue appeared on the training ground. In addition to herself, she was followed by ten personal guards.
"Hahaha!"
Before Shi Qingxue dismounted, Chu Yan had already laughed, his eyes sweeping over the faces of the ten guards behind her one by one.
"I'm not surprised. General Shi's show is still as grand as ever!"
Shi Qingxue ignored his politeness and said calmly, "This general has come here on the orders of the Emperor!"
Chu Yan nodded slightly, "General, I'm listening."
In short, his attitude ended here. Shi Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then took out the list on the memorial.
"His Majesty has asked this general to give you this list."
After saying that, she raised her hand lightly and threw the list into the wind.
Chu Yan reached out to take it, then glanced at the list.
But at first glance, the names of Yan Yu and Yu Shengwu were right there, and they were marked in red in a very abrupt manner.
Even though Shi Qingxue didn't say it explicitly, Chu Yan had a rough guess.
This list is probably the one of those who were implicated because of the scholars' disturbance yesterday.
It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at the names above, but after seeing one of them, Chu Yan couldn't help but get angry.
Because these people, without exception, are his subordinates.
None of them are wronged.
Because when Yu Shengwu confessed to himself what he had done, he also mentioned the names of other people.
Chu Yan looked at the list in his hand for a long time before he looked up and asked:
"What is the emperor's attitude?"
"His Majesty only asked me to give you this list. As for the rest..."
Shi Qingxue paused for a moment, then said, "No explanation."
No explanation?
Chu Yan was stunned when he got this answer, and he didn't quite understand the emperor's attitude.
Are you planning to let me take full charge of yesterday's events?
After making some rough guesses, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I understand."
Shi Qingxue nodded, but did not leave. She just held the reins of the horse under her.
After a long pause, he frowned slightly and said, "So, General Chu, how do you plan to explain what happened yesterday?"
"These... these people have done something wrong, so they should be punished. Some should be fined, and some should be demoted."
Chu Yan responded casually after all. He naturally would not tell Shi Qingxue much about his detailed plans.
There was something else behind his words, but when it reached Qingxue's ears, she only heard the word "salary deduction".
"A salary deduction?"
Shi Qingxue couldn't help but laugh, "It's surprising to me, General Chu and Lord Tianguan are quite friendly and respectful to each other."
"Lord Chu was nearly killed by your gang of brothers last night, and now you only fined him his salary. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
Chu Yan: “…”
The sarcastic words made his face even more serious since he was already in a bad mood.
He did not show the initial courtesy and respect to Shi Qingxue in front of him, but responded with a sneer:
"Why? Speaking of official rank, General Shi isn't my immediate superior, right? Why are you so eager to know this and that? What are you planning? I wonder if your motives are clear?"
Faced with Chu Yan's malicious questioning, Shi Qingxue's temper suddenly flared up, and she pulled the horse's head back again.
"This general followed orders with a clear mind! As for you, I dare not talk about other things, but I know that as the commander of the Beijing camp, you did not discipline your subordinates. In the middle of the capital, you actually allowed a group of idiots to cause trouble at night, almost hurting the dignified Ministry of Personnel and His Majesty."
"Not strictly controlling your subordinates is the first fault; not reinforcing the city defenses in time is the second!"
Shi Qingxue listed them one by one, even taking advantage of the moment to speak without taking into account some secrets.
The two men were surrounded by personal guards, who heard every word spoken, but did not seem to care that there was anything wrong with it.
Chu Yan really laughed this time.
I was so angry that I laughed.
He laughed at himself and realized that he really looked like a clown at this moment.
He even laughed at Shi Qingxue in front of him. He didn't know how to hide his strength and show his incompetence in his own territory, and he even dared to speak so shamelessly and point out all his faults?
So what if he doesn't discipline his subordinates?
ah?
Not convinced?
Thinking of this, Chu Yan didn't intend to give face anymore, and raised the corner of his mouth in mockery:
"Really? Then this general admits that I failed to discipline my subordinates, so what?"
"Shi, I'm going to say this today: you have no right to interfere in the affairs of the Beijing Camp!"
sonorous——
Accompanied by the sounds of spears and swords clashing, the ten guards behind Shi Qingxue all picked up the weapons hanging at their waists.
“Bold!”
