Chapter 176: Gu Lingshuang hit my face
Chapter 176: Gu Lingshuang hit my face
royal palace.
The emperor met with Gu Lingshuang and Xiao Ziming in the imperial study.
In the past few days, Gu Lingshuang has already worked out the design drawings of the artillery shells, and has all the proportions of the elixirs in the memory artillery shells.
Gu Lingshuang explained everything to the emperor one by one, and the emperor's eyes were full of stars as he listened.
If it could really be built, he was absolutely sure that the Great Xia Kingdom would be able to unify the world.
However, making these things requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
However, this is not a problem at all for the current Great Xia Kingdom.
Since I got many secret recipes from Qiao Jiaojiao, these things made by Daxia Country can bring in a lot of income if sold.
They decided to attack the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom first. Once the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom was eliminated, the Great Xia Kingdom would be the only one in the entire continent that could make items such as soap and glass.
If other countries want it, they can import it from Daxia, and then the money will come, right?
While they were discussing this matter, the eunuch suddenly knocked on the door.
"Your Majesty, General Gu is here with the envoys from Southern Xinjiang to see you."
The emperor was stunned. Why did Gu Nanxiao come here suddenly?
It’s good that he came, as he can discuss the attack on Southern Xinjiang Kingdom with Gu Nanxiao.
"pass!"
After a while, the eunuch brought Gu Nanxiao and Li Jingjing into the imperial study.
After coming in, the two of them knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
The emperor looked at the two men with bruised faces and noses and was confused for a moment.
"Gu Aiqing, what's wrong with your face?"
Gu Nanxiao looked at Gu Lingshuang, who was sitting in her seat and drinking tea slowly.
Gu Nanxiao gritted his teeth and thought to himself: Gu Lingshuang, don't blame me, your father, for being cruel. It's really because you are too vicious. If I don't teach you a lesson, you will definitely become a scourge in the future.
Thinking of this, Gu Nanxiao no longer hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me. I was slapped in the face by Gu Lingshuang's men."
Then he pointed at Li Jingjing and said, "Your Majesty, look, this kid Gu Lingshuang is too much. He even dared to beat the envoy from Southern Xinjiang, and beat him so severely. When the envoy returns, how will our Great Xia Kingdom explain to Southern Xinjiang?"
The emperor's eyes narrowed.
He really didn't expect that Gu Nanxiao would come to him to sue Gu Lingshuang.
He smiled and said, "I will definitely deal with your matter, but before that, I have a very difficult matter to discuss with you."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
The emperor said: "This time, Nanjiang sent envoys to my Great Xia to discuss the reduction of tribute. This shows that Nanjiang no longer wants to be a vassal state of my Great Xia. It won't be long before Nanjiang attacks my Great Xia. In order to prevent this from happening, I decided to strike first and destroy Nanjiang. How about having General Gu lead the troops to attack Nanjiang?"
After hearing this, Gu Nanxiao felt like he was struck by lightning and refused without thinking.
"No."
"Why not?"
"Your Majesty, the envoys sent by Southern Xinjiang are full of sincerity towards our Great Xia Kingdom. How can we attack Southern Xinjiang Kingdom? If other countries find out, they will definitely complain to our Great Xia Kingdom, so I think it is not possible."
Gu Lingshuang laughed: "In my opinion, General Gu is not telling the truth, right? The reason you disagree is because you love Li Jingjing, and you don't want Li Jingjing's country to be destroyed, right?"
Gu Nanxiao looked at Gu Lingshuang suddenly, his eyes were very sharp, and he wished he could cut Gu Lingshuang into pieces.
"Shut up, you rebellious girl. Do you have the right to speak here? Women like you who don't know the rules deserve a slap in the face."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty has seen it too. This woman of mine has gone insane. I really can't teach her. Please, Your Majesty, for the sake of my love for my daughter, help me discipline her. Just slap her in the face a hundred times so that she will remember this lesson. This way, she won't talk nonsense again."
After hearing this, Li Jingjing's mouth curled up with joy.
Gu Lingshuang, you little bitch, just wait for a slap in the face.
Haha, Gu Nanxiao is the God of War General of the Great Xia Kingdom. The border defense of the Great Xia Kingdom depends on him. The old emperor will definitely listen to Gu Nanxiao's advice.
Beat her, beat her hard, it would be best if this little bitch Gu Lingshuang is disfigured, then we’ll see how she can still seduce people with that vixen face.
As Gu Nanxiao and Li Jingjing were looking forward to it, the emperor ordered: "Come here, slap him in the face."
Gu Nanxiao and Li Jingjing couldn't stop laughing.
The two of them looked at Gu Lingshuang at the same time, giving her a look that indicated their plan had succeeded.
Gu Nanxiao immediately kowtowed: "Your Majesty is wise. This woman who doesn't know etiquette should be properly disciplined. After the slapping, I suggest that she be made a nun and spend her whole life in a nunnery praying for the Great Xia Kingdom. This can be regarded as her doing her part for the Great Xia Kingdom."
He was immersed in his own fantasy and kept talking, completely unaware that the emperor and Xiao Ziming were looking at him as if he were a dead man.
At this time, two young eunuchs and a maid came in.
Seeing this, Li Jingjing's eyes lit up, and she pointed at Gu Lingshuang and said, "It's her, it's her, slap her in the face quickly."
The eunuch and the nanny came to Li Jingjing. The eunuch didn't say anything, and one of them grabbed one of her arms. The nanny took a palm-wide ruler and hit Li Jingjing's face hard.
When Gu Nanxiao saw this situation, he immediately became angry.
He stood up suddenly, and without saying a word, slapped the maid in the face, and kicked the two young eunuchs away.
"How dare you! Who allowed you to treat the envoys from Southern Xinjiang like this? His Majesty asked you to slap Gu Lingshuang in the face, what a shameless thing."
"Snapped--"
The emperor slammed the table, and the entire imperial study fell silent in an instant.
He grabbed the inkstone next to him and threw it at Gu Nanxiao.
The inkstone hit Gu Nanxiao on the head.
Ink splattered and blood flowed.
Gu Nanxiao was stunned and looked at the emperor in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, why are you..."
"I think you are going to rebel." The emperor glared at Gu Nanxiao.
"For the sake of this lowly woman from the Southern Border Country, you actually wanted to beat and kill your own daughter. Are you still a human being?"
"But Your Majesty..." Gu Nanxiao tried to argue but was interrupted by the emperor.
"Gu Nanxiao has defied me, so I strip him of his position as general, demote him to a commoner, and throw him out of the palace. He is no longer allowed to see me."
Gu Nanxiao couldn't believe what he heard.
He had made great military achievements, but the emperor stripped him of his title just because he reprimanded Gu Lingshuang.
"I have devoted my life to Daxia, and yet you treat me like this, you dog emperor, you tyrant."
The emperor looked at Gu Nanxiao coldly, but said nothing for Gu Lingshuang's sake.
By the time Gu Nanxiao was dragged out, Li Jingjing had slapped him a hundred times.
Li Jingjing's nose was broken and it looked like she would have to face the risk of "amputation" in the future. Her mouth was also rotten, revealing congested gums, and all her teeth were knocked out.
With this look of being neither human nor ghost, I can no longer cry with tears in my eyes.
The emperor ordered: "Send the imperial physician to treat her. After she is cured, throw her into the prison and let her reunite with her precious daughter."
