However, Lin Yi then thought about it, why wasn't he like this a few years ago?!
There is no city at all, no matter what you look at, you can only see the surface of the thing, and all the joy and anger are on your face.
He was born in a rough place and has a youthful spirit. He is able to hide his thoughts, which is a bit unusual.
Thinking of this, the anger in Lin Yi's heart dissipated unconsciously.
Of course, he actually knew that the reason why he was angry just now was not because of his adopted son's childish remarks, but because Xu Qing was not only afraid, he was also afraid, so when he encountered a little spark, he exploded.
Although he did not make any mistakes this time, and the people under him took good care of them and did not make any mistakes, but he smelled danger from Xu Qing's case.
Ten years is not a long time, but it is enough to bring about huge changes in many things. He has gone from being high-spirited to being scheming, and Zhao Cheng's imperial scheming has also reached an incomprehensible level, unlike when he was still in Lianshan.
By that time, they were completely different people.
Although he is also growing, the fear in his heart has not diminished with the growth of courage, but has become more and more fearful.
Although he and Xu Qing fought a lot on weekdays, they actually had a tacit understanding.
Now, Zhao Chengyin suppresses Xu Qing at this time, which seems to be a good thing for his family, but in fact, this is a very dangerous signal.
Once the original balance is broken, what awaits them is not a domination of one company, but the beginning of a new balance.
And the process of establishing a new balance will never be as easy as treating guests to dinner. At that time, it will definitely be a terrifying and bloody storm.
Of course, the time when this happened was definitely not now.
Now that the war is approaching, unless Zhao Cheng has lost his mind, it is impossible to do such a thing at this time.
Therefore, he only gave Xu Qing a beating, and even Xu Qing's nephew was only dismissed from his position and made meritorious service.
And what Ji Yi wants to do at this time is not to seize the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog, but to restrain his subordinates and prepare for a rainy day.
"In the past few years, I have adopted too many adopted sons. Those who are useless among them cannot stay in the army. Instead, they should be sent to local places to preside over militia affairs, protect the environment and protect the people, and continue to stay in the army.
, may not be a good thing..."
Ji Yi was thinking about it, but his expression was uncertain.
In this army, all generals actually have the habit of accepting adopted sons. After all, compared to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, the relationship between father and son is more stable. At the same time, they are not afraid of betrayal by their adopted sons, because once sentenced, that is
Those who are unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unjust will never be reused no matter where they are in the future. It can be said that their future is dead.
Not to mention anything else, there was a certain Taizu from the previous dynasty who was almost killed by his adoptive father before the founding of the country. But even so, he still could not rebel. He had to wait until his adoptive father died before he could
It’s a vast sea and sky.
Under such circumstances, Lin Yi naturally followed suit. The adopted son he adopted was either Paoze's son, or someone in the army who had a clean family background and outstanding abilities.
In this era, civil servants liked to recruit students to strengthen their party members, while military generals adopted adopted sons to strengthen their control over the army.
He is doing this kind of thing, and Xu Qing is also doing it.
And although he thought it was useless, in fact, it was just a random reason. Those who caught his eye were all outstanding.
It was just Xu Qing's incident that suddenly made him realize that his current gang members in the army were a bit too big.
Especially recently, with the successive victories of Ying Tian's army, his subordinates have become a little arrogant. I think Zhao Chenggong was aware of this, so he took this beating.
It is true that he is loyal to Zhao Cheng, but some of his subordinates, some arrogant adopted sons, may not necessarily think so...
As he thought about it, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Ji Yi's back.
He thought he was loyal, but he didn't expect that before he knew it, he had been unfaithful. Even if this matter was left unchecked, it might not be the cause of his death in the future...
…
"Uncle, the child lost his head, so..."
In another camp, a young man knelt down in front of a middle-aged scribe without hesitation, kowtowing crazily, even breaking his head without even noticing.
This young man is Xu Qing's nephew, named Xu Teng. Tengde means to become a successful person, so he undoubtedly has high hopes for him.
The middle-aged scribe is naturally Xu Qing. Although he is a military commander, he is elegant by nature.
At this moment, Xu Qing looked at Xu Teng quietly, remained silent for a long time, and then said: "That's enough!"
"Teng'er, it's not you who's wrong this time, it's me..."
"They are just two soldiers. Although there is a suspicion of using official weapons for personal use, it is nothing more than a trivial matter."
"The reason why Your Majesty is so angry is to let me know where I went wrong."
"As for you, your fault is not that you took the gold and silver beauties and sent two soldiers, but that you were too short-sighted. Do you know that His Majesty has mentioned you several times in private and has placed great hopes on you?
I have high hopes, saying that although you are young, you are brave and resourceful, and you are a talented general."
"But how can you fulfill His Majesty's high expectations for you like this?!"
"It may not be a bad thing to demote you this time. In this way, you haven't made a big mistake and you can still be saved. Your Majesty demoting you is saying that the matter ends here and that you will forget about it in the future. This is giving you a chance. If you really want this moment
If you indulge, it will be too late when you make a big mistake in the future..."
"You go back first and think about it carefully. I also want to think about it..."
Xu Qing waved his hand with a tired look on his face.
Xu Teng undoubtedly had a pretext for what happened this time. Even if there was no such thing, there would be other things. As for the purpose, it was naturally to alert him.
The reason why Xu Teng was singled out for the attack was not because Zhao Cheng disliked this young man, but rather because he had some admiration and preference for him, which made him angry.
If you can bribe him with such a small thing, how can you expect this person to do big things in the future?!
…
About half an hour later.
At Zhao Cheng's Chinese army tent, someone was whispering to Zhao Cheng what happened in Lin Yi and Xu Qing's camps. What this man said was the same as what happened in the two camps.
The writing is not bad.
The intelligence system was established by Zhao Cheng as early as when he was still in Lianshan. As of now, it has covered all aspects of the new country.
After Zhao Cheng listened, he didn't make any comments. He just waved his hand and asked people to leave. His eyes were on the memorial in his hand from beginning to end.
This time he organized the army with the main purpose of beating.
Indeed, Lin Yi and Xu Qing are both loyal, and the people under them are also loyal now, but even loyalty must be beaten.
Because human nature is like this, when the sense of crisis is lost, the mind can easily let go.
