The Wife Is First

44Chapter 44: Bare Shirt

Jing Shao waited for a long time, but Jun Qing didn't speak. He just lowered his eyes and remained silent. This moment of silence strangely calmed him down, and then he realized that he had just spoken too aggressively. (っ◔◡◔)っ

"I didn't say that you should swallow this breath," Mu Hanzhang said softly, his hands tightly clasped on his knees, and the goose feather fan fell to the side without knowing it, "This matter still needs... um?"

Jing Shao looked at him like this, and suddenly felt distressed. He walked forward and held the hands that were clenched so hard that the joints turned white in his hands. Seeing him raise his head in confusion, he stretched out his other hand and touched his face: "I'm not angry with you." How could he forget how sensitive his Jun Qing was.

"Jun Qing..." Jing Shao squatted down and looked up at him.

Mu Hanzhang looked down at Jing Shao, whose eyes were full of heartache. His slightly bitter heart suddenly became sweet and sour. He couldn't help but curl his lips and slowly leaned over to kiss her beautiful eyes: "You are my husband, and it is normal for you to lose your temper with me. But since you think it's wrong, if you do it again in the future, I will punish you."

"Okay." Jing Shao got an active kiss and was immediately overjoyed. He agreed to whatever his princess said.

"What should I punish you with?" Mu Hanzhang narrowed his beautiful eyes, "How about punishing me to sleep in the study for three days?"

"How can that be?" Jing Shao immediately became unhappy, put his head on his princess's legs, hugged her narrow waist and shook, "When other couples quarrel, they quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. Do you know why?"

"Why?" Mu Hanzhang bent the corners of his mouth and let him hug and shake.

"Because they roll from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed, doing that ** thing, if they have fun, they will naturally make up." Jing Shao said shamelessly.

"Nonsense again!" The fair and handsome face blushed, and Mu Hanzhang pushed him, "I'm telling you something serious. You can't handle today's affairs by yourself, and you don't have that much energy to go to war soon. So it's best to leave this matter to King Rui." The second prince had already performed the ceremony of being crowned king a few days ago, and now he should be called King Rui.

"Brother?" Jing Shao stood up and lowered his eyes to think. He really couldn't bear to get involved in the twists and turns in the court. This matter involved the Ministry of Revenue. If he went to his father, at most he could deal with the person who directly did this, but his brother had a wide network of people in the court, and if he asked him to do it, it might be more than that.

"We are right, so we should take the opportunity to get some benefits." Mu Hanzhang curled his lips, picked up the goose feather fan on the ground and fanned Jing Shao. The weather in July was still so hot, and Jing Shao was sweating because of this half-hour tossing.

"You are right, I will go to my brother's house in a while." Jing Shao felt comfortable with the fan, so he lay back.

"Take these account books and the ones I copied with you. If there are any particularly annoying people in the court, tell your brother," Mu Hanzhang thought for a moment and said, "Remember to tell his staff behind his back."

"Staff?" Jing Shao raised his head. He knew all the Qingke in the Rui Wang Mansion. They were always polite when they met. Moreover, they had to think of many dishonorable means. They really contributed a lot to the brothers' affairs. Why should he tell them behind their backs?

Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips, thinking of the hostility of those people who had not been able to retract that day in the Second Prince's Mansion: "If my brother inherits the throne, these people must be eliminated, otherwise it will be bad for you."

Jing Shao frowned and understood what his princess meant. People who think too much will think of everything in the worst place. Those people must have advised my brother to be on guard against him a long time ago.

Fortunately, he did not go to his father on impulse. Jing Shao stood up and hugged the person on the chair. He promised in the last life that if he survived, he would listen to him in everything. Even if Jun Qing didn't know it now, he had to fulfill this promise. This was also for his own good. After all, those intrigues were not good at even if he lived again.

It was too conspicuous to bring four living people with him. Jing Shao rode on Xiao Hei and ran towards the capital alone.

Mu Hanzhang looked at the figure that left in a dusty manner and secretly told himself that he should try to trust him more. Turning back to the king's tent, he found the military order signed that day. Today's matter is not over yet!

"Mr. Jun!" The left and right guards were discussing this matter with the newly dressed General Zhao. The right guard was excitedly planning to eat meat every day after becoming famous. Turning around and seeing Mu Hanzhang standing outside the tent, he hurriedly stopped the topic and respectfully called him Mr.

Because of the hot weather, the men were not afraid of being seen, and the curtain of the tent was wide open. As soon as Mu Hanzhang walked to the door, he was discovered by the people inside.

Zhao Meng saw Mu Hanzhang coming in, and stood up uncomfortably: "Military Advisor, what's the matter?"

Mu Hanzhang walked in slowly and took out the contract from his sleeve: "General, do you still remember this?"

The three people's faces changed immediately when they saw the military order. At that time, Zhao Meng said that the loser would be guilty of the same crime as those people. Although those people were not killed, they were each beaten with twenty military sticks for dereliction of duty. Now think about it, the military advisor emphasized in the central tent that the death penalty for several people could be spared, but the living crime could not be escaped, just because of this military order.

"I, Zhao, always keep my word, and I am willing to accept the loss!" Zhao Meng said, taking off the protective copper armor, and going to be beaten with military sticks.

The right guard hurriedly came to the rescue and said, "Military advisor, General Zhao was just impulsive at the moment, don't take it to heart." The march was imminent, and the general's being beaten with a stick would delay the journey. With Zhao Meng's temperament, he would surely insist on riding his horse, and if he rushed to the northwest, he would probably not be able to fight at all.

Mu Hanzhang looked at the right guard and sneered: "May I ask, guard, if I lose today, is this military order just a momentary impulse?"

The right guard was speechless when he heard this. With Zhao Meng's unyielding temper, if the military advisor failed to find the real culprit, he would definitely not let it go even if the prince protected him. It was really shameful for a group of military generals to bully a weak scholar like this.

"You don't have to say it. I, Zhao Meng, am upright and will never deny it!" General Zhao pushed the right guard away and patted his chest.

"Okay!" Mu Hanzhang handed the military order to Zhao Meng, "General, you are really a hero. Will you do what is written on this military order?"

"Of course," Zhao Meng grabbed the paper and looked down, "Even if it means my head..."

The voice stopped abruptly, Zhao Meng stared at the words on the paper with wide eyes. The right guard was curious and leaned over to take a look. It was clearly written in black and white that if the military advisor failed to find out the truth, he would be guilty of the same crime as the criminal. If he found out, Zhao Meng would take off his shirt and run around the entire camp...

"This..." The right guard was stunned. For Zhao Meng, who was always big and strong, this was not a punishment at all, just a joke, but the punishment for the military advisor was unambiguous.

Zhao Meng was stunned for a long time, and suddenly knelt on one knee and clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Jun is a true gentleman, please accept my greetings!"

"General, no!" Mu Hanzhang hurried forward to stop his action, "Jun Qing is just a military advisor and a priest, he is not worthy of the general's greetings. It's just that we all serve the prince, and we just hope that we can get along well."

"With your talent, you deserve to be a military advisor and general!" Zhao Meng still bowed and saluted, stood up and took off his shirt, and said that being shirtless was nothing to him. He took the initiative to take off his middle clothes, leaving only a pair of shorts, and ran out barefoot.

That day, all the soldiers in the army saw the general running around the camp in a disheveled, no, not very disheveled, so the fireman stopped adding firewood, the rice carrier dropped the steamed bun basket, the knife player slipped the handle, and the boxer forgot the moves. They were stunned to see the general whizzing past in a serious manner wearing only a pair of shorts.

Jing Chen listened to Jing Shao's story and pondered for a long time: "Do you know who is going to check the accounts this time?"

"Who?" Jing Shao didn't know much about the factions in the Ministry of Revenue.

"Xiao Yuan!" Jing Chen flipped through the list of the Ministry of Revenue personnel and pointed to the name of the Minister of Revenue.

Xiao Yuan was on good terms with Jing Shao, and everyone in the court knew about it. Naturally, sending him here this time made some people panic.

"In this case, it's a good thing," Jing Shao thought of the Minister of Revenue who impeached him in his previous life, and he had an idea, "Why don't we take this opportunity to pull down the Minister of Revenue."

"The Minister of Revenue followed my father in his early years, and it might be difficult to move him," Jing Shao frowned, "but once this happened, he can't get away from it, let me think about it."

Jing Shao nodded. Xiao Yuan was a reliable person. Because he got along well with others, he had never been promoted in his previous life. It was not only because he was content with the status quo, but also because his immediate superior had remained in office. Now, before anything happens, he wants to pull out the fangs of all those who have harmed him!

Before leaving, Jing Shao suddenly turned back, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Brother, your staff members don't seem to like me."

"They are thoughtful, so they naturally think the worst of everyone," Jing Chen was stunned. When did his brother become so sharp that he could see through those scheming people? Then he understood. Perhaps it was Jing Shao who had trained on the battlefield. He was more sensitive to malice than ordinary people. He reached out and touched his head, whispering, "Don't pay attention to them. Once the big thing is done, none of these people will stay."

Staff members are only good at these shameful means. They are really needed before ascending the throne, but after ascending the throne, they can't use these opportunistic tricks to govern the world, so staff members can only be staff members for their whole lives, and they can't be high officials. And they know so much, anyway, Jing Chen won't keep them.

Jing Shao nodded when he heard it, so he can explain to the princess when he goes back.

When Jing Shao returned to the camp, it was already the time when the moon rose in the east. The surrounding mountains and forests were deserted, and only the torches in the military camp were bright. He first ran to the king's tent to see his princess, but found that the tent was dark and empty.

"Where is the military advisor?" Jing Shao asked the guards outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the military advisor and the generals are drinking in the middle tent." The guard answered honestly.

"Drinking!" Jing Shao's eyes widened. It was hard to imagine Jun Qing playing finger-guessing games with the group of people, and hugging each other. He left the guards and ran towards the middle tent.
