Liu Mingzhi stopped outside the camp and watched Zhao Qing, Hu Sanyuan, and Wang Qingshu walking towards the dragon flag on the campus without hesitation, shaking his head helplessly.
“Lu Rong.”
Lu Rong, who was waiting on the side, trotted quickly and stopped in front of Liu Mingzhi. He looked at Young Master Liu carefully: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Liu Mingzhi pursed his lips in the direction of Dalong's dragon flag: "Go and tell the brothers who are executing the caning punishment to just hit the first few sticks normally. As for the subsequent punishments, use them more lightly and try to control the force as much as possible."
"I understand, I will retire first."
About the tea time, a dull sound came from the dragon banner dozens of steps away, which was the sound of sticks hitting people.
Liu Mingzhi vaguely heard a muffled sound coming from under the flagpole, but he did not hear any screams of pain. He immediately realized that Zhao Qing and the other eight bastards must be gritting their teeth to endure the pain.
.
Liu Mingzhi rubbed his brows and sighed, feeling a silent sourness in his heart. He hoped these guys could understand his painstaking efforts.
In about half a stick of incense, dozens of soldiers from the two guards came to a stop in front of Liu Mingzhi, Zhao Qing and eight others, holding up pallets and shouting beads of sweat on their foreheads.
Lu Rong waved his hand to signal the soldiers to place the eight people a few steps away from Liu Mingzhi, then walked up to Liu Mingzhi and clasped his fists in salute.
“Your Majesty, the execution of eight generals from General Zhao has been completed.”
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, walked to the eight people lying on the pallet and squatted down: "Do you feel resentful towards me?"
Zhao Qing and the others didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off their faces. They looked up at Young Master Liu and shook their heads without hesitation: "I don't dare."
“Don’t dare? Then it means yes?”
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I dare not and will not resent Your Majesty. We made a mistake by underestimating the enemy. We deserve the punishment of twenty sticks."
“I second the proposal. Your Majesty did not remove the ministers from their posts, but punished them with a stick. This shows that your Majesty hates the ministers and hates iron. Your Majesty has ministers in your heart. How can I blame you?”
“I second the proposal, and we have no complaints or regrets.”
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the sincere expressions on the faces of the eight people, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
“As long as you can understand my painstaking efforts, the twenty sticks I’m giving you today may seem like a punishment, but in fact it’s for your own good. Twenty sticks on your butt are just a few days of rest in bed at best.
However, if you cause your soldiers to die on the battlefield because you underestimate the enemy, you will be cursed by thousands of people, and you will be cursed and criticized by thousands of family members.
You will spend the rest of your life feeling sorry for yourself.
Compared with the mental and spiritual torture, these twenty sticks are too light for you.
It is true that one general's achievements will lead to the death of thousands of bones, but you must be worthy of the merits and glory accumulated by your brothers who died in the war with their blood and lives.
This punishment with a stick should serve as a warning."
“Thank you, Your Majesty. I understand that I was wrong.”
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a faint smile, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it to Lu Rong.
"Carry them into the camp and apply the golden sore medicine on them. I will come to visit you in a few days."
“Follow orders.”
Seeing Liu Mingzhi walking towards the outside of the school grounds, Hu Sanyuan, Zhao Qing and others endured the pain and shouted loudly.
“I would like to thank your Majesty for the medicine and send it to your Majesty respectfully.”
After Liu Mingzhi returned to his home from the school grounds in the south of the city, he dove into the study and did not come out of the study until the golden crow fell to the west.
“Master, are you looking for the younger one?”
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Song who was running in a hurry, nodded slightly and took out three letters baked with lacquer from his sleeves and handed them to Liu Song.
“Send these three letters to my eldest brother’s house immediately, and you must hand them into his hands.
Let him be passed as soon as possible to the hands of Marshal Zhang, the Marshal of the left army of the Western Expedition, Marshal Nangong, the Marshal of the right army, and Marshal Zhang Mo of the Anxi Protectorate."
“Yes, Master, do you have any other instructions?”
"No, let's go and finish this matter first."
“Yes, I’ll take my leave, little one.”
When Liu Song's figure disappeared under the corridor, Mr. Liu stretched himself and rushed towards Qi Yun's boudoir.
"Yun'er, those diamonds... Wanyan, Yao'er, Yun Shu, you are also here!"
“Husband, you are here.”
Liu Mingzhi sat on a chair and waved his hand to the beauties who were about to stand up, saying, "Sit down, what are you talking about?"
The four beauties pushed the wooden boxes in front of them in front of Young Master Liu: "We haven't discussed the matter of you asking my sisters to prepare these diamond jewelry.
Now the first batch of diamond jewelry has been made, but the sisters have no experience in how to sell it. We were discussing it before you came!"
Young Master Liu looked at Qi Yun's helpless face and burst into laughter: "You ladies really have a close connection with your husband!
Your husband came to you and was about to talk about diamond jewelry, but it turned out that you were already ready."
Liu Mingzhi opened the first wooden box as he spoke, and was immediately surprised by the dazzling light of more than twenty diamond jewelry inside the wooden box.
Picked up a diamond pendant and looked at it, Mr. Liu nodded in amazement.
“Diamonds are forever, and true love lasts forever. Whether this broken stone is valuable or not is one thing, but I have to say that it is indeed very beautiful.
Once word spreads, and someone can do a little work, it will definitely attract a large number of wealthy ladies and ladies to flock to it."
The four queens looked at Young Master Liu curiously: "Husband, have you thought about how to sell these diamond jewelry?"
“That’s right, none of our sisters have any business experience, and we don’t know how to sell these dazzling jewelry. We are worried about this. If you have a good idea, please tell me.”
Liu Mingzhi put the diamond pendant back into the wooden box and looked at the four beauties who looked curious with a smile.
“Let’s not talk about how to sell these diamond jewelry, but just tell us what you think of these jewelry?”
The four girls nodded without hesitation and said in unison: "Beautiful."
“Is there any more?”
The four goddesses looked at each other in confusion, and then looked at Young Master Liu in surprise.
“Husband, do women need any other reason for choosing jewelry besides being beautiful?”
“Yes, when we sisters buy jewelry, we always choose beautiful ones first.”
“Yes, yes, everything else is secondary, as long as it looks beautiful when you wear it.”
“Beautiful jewelry may not be the most important thing, but my sisters will never buy jewelry that is not beautiful.”
Young Master Liu looked at the four beautiful ladies with twitching eyes, and frowned helplessly.
“Besides the beauty of the co-authorship, nothing else is important to you?”
“Of course, who would wear it if it’s not beautiful?”
“Is the rest important?”
“Yes! Is it important?”
“We dress ourselves up beautifully just to show our husbands!
Which woman doesn’t want to show her most charming side in front of her sweetheart?”
“Well! What you said makes sense, but my husband is speechless.”
“Husband, please tell me how to sell these diamond jewelry?”
“Are you all wearing them?”
Qi Yun stretched out her right hand without hesitation, revealing the dazzling diamond ring on her finger.
The three queens gently rolled up their Yunyan sleeves, revealing bracelets made of more than a dozen diamonds on each other's wrists.
“Husband, not only did the four of us sisters wear it, but the other sisters all also picked out a piece of jewelry and kept it.
Rings, pendants, bracelets, hairpins...each sister chooses something different, but does this have anything to do with selling diamond jewelry?"
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of tea and looked at the four beauties with shining eyes: "Three days later, my husband will take all of you sisters to the Zixia Temple in the east of the city to offer incense.
On that day, you just need to wear all the jewelry you like.
