In the afternoon, Xue Shao went in to meet the Emperor. Li Zhi gave Xue Shao a seat beside him.
"Xue Shao, why have you come to see zhen?”Li Zhi took the initiative to ask.
"Your Majesty, I am here for the Thousand Ox Guard.”Xue Shao replied.
Li Zhi nodded without a word and made an expression that said," I'll wait for more."
"Your Majesty's Thousand Bull Guards are in a bad situation. Forgive me for being blunt, but I only need 400 ordinary soldiers to easily defeat the Thousand Bull Guards!”Xue Shao did not beat around the bush.
Li Zhi was shocked when he heard that. The Qiangu Guards were all Xiantian realm martial artists, while the ordinary soldiers were only Houtian fifth grade. The two of them were as powerful as a chasm.
Under Li Zhi's signal, Xue Shao told him everything that happened today.
After Li Zhi heard this, he was furious."I never thought that a single Wu Chengsi would be able to corrupt the eight hundred elites I personally selected. The general is really incompetent and exhausted the three armies."”
"Then why didn't you take the opportunity to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys today? Burn this foul atmosphere!" Li Zhi asked.
" I…" Xue Shao didn't know if he should say it. He was still unsure of Li Zhi's thoughts.
"You what?" Li Zhi said calmly," Do you think that I don't agree with your actions? Do you think that I only treat you like a vase and put you in that position?”
"That's not what I meant." Xue Shao hurriedly cupped his hands, truly terrified in his heart. Sure enough, a person who could become an emperor was not an ordinary person, seeing through Xue Shao's worries at a glance.
"Since Zhen has granted you an official position, it is to fulfill your duties.”Li Zhi said," You can do whatever you want. You don't have to ask me. If I don't trust you, I naturally won't appoint you."
”
"I know my mistake. I will definitely change in the future!”Xue Shao nodded.
"My Thousand Bull Guards must obey me, or else I would rather destroy them myself. In the future, I will leave the Thousand Bull Guards to you. Other than zhen, no one has the right to interfere in the affairs of the Thousand Bull Guard. Xue Shao, remember this!”
"Yes, I will remember it!" Xue Shao cupped his hands and bowed, thinking that the emperor had already realized his situation. Half of the Thousand Bull Troop was controlled by the Wu clan, if there was any change, not only would his position as emperor be overturned, even his Li clan's empire might be overturned.”
"Zhen will give you a personal order." Li Zhi waved his hand, and the attendant took out a brocade box that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Xue Shao. Xue Shao caught it with both hands." I will obey the imperial order!"“
Li Zhi said," Now, I officially grant you the power of a thousand oxen. It's like the emperor who has gone out to war has granted you the 'absolute authority of the heavens'. You can act first and report later. In the future, you will be in charge of all matters of the Thousand Bull Guard. There is no need to ask for further instructions.”
No one was willing to be a puppet. Li Zhi was not a cowardly emperor like what was written in history. He would never retreat when he was under the control of the army.
Li Zhi's intentions were clear. The Thousand Bull Guards were the emperor's personal troops. Li Zhi would not allow anyone to interfere with the internal affairs of the Thousand Bull Guards!
Anyone, including the Heavenly Queen.
"Xue Shao, zhen will tell you the truth.”Li Zhi narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice," Although I am still the Emperor of the Great Tang, there are not many things that I can grasp as a novice. The Thousand Bull Guard is the army that I rely on the most. You are now the person that I value the most. It can be said that I have even given my life to you. You must not let me down!”
"I know." Xue Shao cupped his hands and bowed." I swear my loyalty to Your Majesty to the death!”
Xue Shao was loyal to Li Zhi when he was alive because Li Zhi was his Bo Le. But if Li Zhi died, he would be loyal to his own heart and rise up to fight for the world.
"Alright." Li Zhi nodded gently." You can go ahead. I'm tired and want to rest."”
"I will take my leave!"
Xue Shao withdrew from the Ice Palace and heaved a long sigh of relief.
After obtaining the imperial sword, the following matters were handed over to Xue Shao.
For five consecutive days, Xue Shao completely ignored the Thousand Bull Guards and just read in the government office.
At first, Wu Chengsi's Thousand Bull Guards had some misgivings, and they didn't dare to go too far on the surface. They had a wait-and-see attitude toward Xue Shao, the new official. But after observing for three days, they discovered that Xue Shao really did not care at all.
As a result, the Thousand Bull Guards gradually let down their guard, and they quickly revealed their usual habits.
Drinking, fighting, leaving their posts without permission, and even bringing women back to sleep. These aristocratic children really had a wide range of connections.
Xue Shao was very calm when he saw this. On the contrary, Xue Chuyu and Cheng Qizhi were not calm. Wasn't this completely corrupting the Thousand Bull Guard?
Xue Chuyu and Cheng Qizhi rushed to find Xue Shao.
"General Xue, if you're looking for Xue Chuyu to be a sinecure, then why don't you let me return to the Imperial Guards as a soldier!”Xue Chuyu said bluntly.
Cheng Qizhi also echoed," If General Xue is like this, then Cheng Qizhi will have to fight for the position of commander!”Previously, because of Wu Chengsi, Cheng Qizhi did not want to offend the Empress, so he did not challenge Wu Chengsi. He had managed his four hundred men well.
"Don't be anxious!" Xue Shao said in a flirtatious manner, no longer hiding it from them. He told them his plan, otherwise, where would the people help him carry it out?
After listening to Xue Shao's plan, the two's eyes lit up, and their old faces flushed red. They awkwardly said,"General Xue is a great talent, but we didn't think it through!" I'm ashamed!"
"Don't be like this. I still need your help tomorrow!”Xue Shao said.
"We will follow your arrangements!" The two replied.
Xue Shao left Cheng Qizhi behind and gave him some things.
Tomorrow, he would burn three fires to his heart's content!
