Warlock Toxic General Please Control Yourself

Chapter 215 The Palm of the Pearl can finally give birth to a little prince!
The person behind the scenes instigating all this is the chief steward next to Gongsun Yu's eldest son, Gongsun Min. As Gongsun Min's strongest contender for the next generation of patriarch, the chief steward beside him is an extraordinary generation.

Although it cannot be said that Gongsun Min's current achievements all depend on the help of the chief steward, but without a chief steward, Gongsun Min is at least equivalent to losing a left-hand man.

Gongsun Min, who has lost his right-hand man, will have a lot of difficulty in the process of competing for the next generation of patriarch. The position of patriarch, which was originally in his pocket, may be replaced by his younger brothers or cousins ​​at any time.

Therefore, after learning that the chief executive was captured by people sent by Xi Liemo, Gongsun Min begged in front of Gongsun Yu.

This matter was originally ordered by Gongsun Yu to let the chief steward do it. Now that the chief steward has been arrested in an accident, how can he not let the old man come forward to intercede?
Gongsun Yu took Gongsun Min into the palace with a livid face, and wanted to ask Xi Liemo to meet Xi Liemo before the chief officer pleaded guilty, and exchange some of the benefits for him, so as to restore the situation and minimize the loss.

In the end, Xi Liemo rejected him on the grounds that he was busy with state affairs.

Gongsun Yu was so angry that he jumped on the spot. If Gongsun Min was not stopping him, no matter where he is now, he would have started yelling.

After returning back, Gongsun Yuda lost his temper, and scolded Xi Liemo bloody, "The ungrateful guy, if it weren't for the old man, he would have ascended to the throne so easily and secured the throne? Now his wings are hard , Want to cross the river and tear down the bridge? This royal family is really heartless and ungrateful, and there is no good thing!"

Gongsun Min's temperament is like his father's, and he is also very hot, but he is not stupid. Although he is very angry in his heart, he knows that if he yells together at this moment, it will be tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. Saying nothing will make things worse.

He suppressed his anger and persuaded: "Father, the Tian family is ruthless, and the temperament of the kings of all generations has been like this. It's not clear to you why you have to get so angry for such a person, and you are so angry? You still have to think of a way now." Getting people out is the top priority! To avoid the position of patriarch falling to the second uncle's house."

But Xi Liemo couldn't see them, and the person who investigated the case was also a member of the Lian family. Apart from waiting for news at home and sending people into the palace to spy, what could they do?
Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Min returned to Gongsun Mansion dejectedly.

Two days later, news came out from the palace that the chief executive had pleaded guilty and was about to be beheaded. Just when Gongsun Min was in a hurry, Xi Liemo sent someone to summon Gongsun and enter the palace.

Xi Liemo only said that he summoned Gongsun Yu, but Gongsun Min couldn't go with him. He knew the temper of his hometown, so he tried to comfort Gongsun Yu, put the overall situation first, and don't want to be provoked deliberately by the king.

Gongsun Yu entered the palace full of anger.

Although the chief steward's affairs are important, if it is so important that Gongsun Yu will save his life and put down his face to plead for mercy at all costs, then it is really a dream.

For Gongsun Yu, the matter of being in charge is not a matter of human life, but a matter of face.

The family of the chief steward who has devoted themselves to his Gongsun family for generations, now something happened. His Gongsun family is the first family of Xiqiang, and his grandson and his grandparents who are the current kings, can't save his life?

Speaking of which, where will the face of the Gongsun clan and his Gongsun Yu go?And how can the people who follow them continue to follow them with all their heart?

Gongsun Yu just has a violent temper, and he can lead the Gongsun clan to become the first clan in Xiqiang. Under his impetuous appearance, his resourcefulness and vision are naturally extraordinary.

"Your Majesty!" Gongsun Yu knelt down respectfully on the ground, his lowered body showing his weakness, "The circus troupe and the Jade Factory were my servants who were short-sighted for a while, and talked nonsense with those ruffians while drunk, and It's not intentional to make things difficult, but I ask the king to take this old man's face into account and give him a light sentence! This old man is willing to compensate those merchants ten times for their losses!"

"Drunk and talking nonsense can instigate those people to play tricks on the horse and destroy the jade factory? If this time the punishment is light, the next time someone gets drunk and speaks dissatisfaction with the king, can they come to assassinate the king? No need to be responsible?" Xi Liemo mocked lightly.

"Your Majesty is serious, I am terrified!" Gongsunyu lowered his body even lower, "Who is innocent? Your Majesty has a kind heart, please give my servant a chance to reform! After returning, I will definitely restrain you. Man, nothing like this will ever happen again!"

"Patriarch Gongsun, I didn't call you into the palace today to discuss with you whether the chief steward of the Gongsun family should be punished lightly." Xi Liemo's expression was flat, but his tone was unquestionable, "The chief steward of the Gongsun family instigated The rascals in the shop destroyed the circus performance troupe and destroyed the jade factory. Because no one was killed, the crime could not be beheaded.

However, the audiences of the circus troupe are all the descendants of the ministers in the court and the pillars of the next generation of Xiqiang. If the trick succeeds, it will be a fatal blow to the future of Xiqiang!
Moreover, the circus performance troupe and the jade factory were all facilitated by the queen, representing our Xiqiang royal family's support for the folk economy. The move by the grand master of the Gongsun family is tantamount to challenging the prestige of our royal family among the people, and treating our royal family as nothing!
Such serious consequences must be severely punished as an example to others!Therefore, the matter of beheading three days later is a conclusion, and there is no need to discuss it again! "

It was indeed a mistake to do something on the horses in the circus troupe, but Gongsun Yu's original intention was to temporarily lose control of the horses, scare those timid and life-threatening young masters and ladies, make them lose interest in the circus in the future, and make the circus troupe Unable to continue in Xiqiang.

But the person who did it was obviously inexperienced, and the dose of the drug was too heavy, which made the young masters and ladies witness the crazy behavior of the drugged horse, and became a force that could not be ignored, determined to severely punish the murderer.

If Xi Liemo did not stand on the side of Gongsun's family in this matter, even if Gongsun and Rang's courtiers raised objections in the early court again, the result would not change.

Those ministers whose nephews and nephews were threatened with their lives would definitely demand beheading and killing chickens and monkeys!And because of this, Yu even spoke ill of Gongsun's family!

Xi Liemo's non-negotiable tone made Gongsun Yu understand that there was absolutely room for turning around in this matter.

Since Xi Liemo didn't call him into the palace to discuss this matter, it seems that he wanted to use this matter to put pressure on the Gongsun family.

After Gongsunyu thought it through in his heart, he naturally didn't want to follow Xi Liemo's wishes, "My lord! I understand that the king's treatment is out of helplessness. I really shouldn't beg the king to embarrass you! The old man has something in his heart. I am ashamed, I will not disturb the king's handling of the government affairs. The old man resigns!"

After Gongsunyu bowed and bowed, he wanted to get up and leave the imperial study.

Xi Liemo didn't let his plan succeed, and at the moment of his salute, he said with a half-smile: "Don't worry, Patriarch Gongsun, this king just said that the reason for letting Patriarch Gongsun enter the palace today is for other things."

Xi Liemo had made it so clear that Gongsunyu could no longer evade it, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Dare to ask what your majesty is doing?"

"Although the chief steward of the Gongsun family is responsible for all the crimes alone, there are still many loopholes in it." The corners of Xi Liemo's mouth are slightly hooked, and the arc is very beautiful. When it falls into the eyes of Gongsun Yu, it is extremely hateful. , "For example, organizing so many people to commit crimes together is obviously planned. If he is the only one, how can it be done? There must be other helpers!"

"My lord! What do you mean?" Gongsun Yu couldn't hold back his emotions at last, and asked with a raised voice.

Xi Liemo smiled and said: "All the ministers think that this matter should be investigated further, and this king also has this intention, but the Gongsun family is always my natal family, if we continue to investigate, I don't know what will be found out, what will be involved. How many people, when the time comes, the Gongsun family will lose face, and this king will also lose face!"

Gongsun Yu was so angry that his face was shaking, is this an obvious threat to him?He squeezed out a few words between his teeth, "I don't quite understand what the king said, so please tell the king clearly!"

"The king is willing to exchange horses and precious stones with the Gongsun family's [-] mu of fertile land in the north." Xi Liemo wrote lightly, as if what was being exchanged was just an insignificant thing.

Gongsun Yu jumped up from the ground, regardless of the difference between the monarch and his subjects, pointed at Xi Liemo, trembling with anger, "You...you..."

Hello Siriemo!The lion opened its mouth!
It must be known that the land in Xiqiang has always produced little grain, and the [-] mu of fertile land that Gongsun's family had in the north is the best land in Xiqiang, which is more than two or three times the yield of ordinary land.

The grain grown on the land owned by the Gongsun family accounted for at least [-]% of the entire Western Qiang, and the grain produced by the [-] mu of fertile land accounted for more than [-]% of the grain produced by the Gongsun family!
Now because of a big steward, he actually wants to swallow his Gongsun family's [-] mu of fertile land?This wishful thinking is too good to be true!
"My lord! Old man, I don't agree!" Gongsunyu gasped for a while, and clearly stated his position.

Xi Liemo seemed to have expected that Gongsunyu would not agree so readily. He leaned back and said, "Patriarch Gongsun, you have to think about it first! Once this matter is investigated in depth, what will happen?" , this king is also unpredictable!
But one thing is certain, who will be the next patriarch, I'm afraid it will not be controlled by you alone, Patriarch Gongsun! "

Gongsun Min has lost the chief steward who has always been regarded as his right-hand man. He, Gongsun, can send useful people around him. Even if he can't completely replace the original chief steward, he can fill half of it, and it is enough for Gongsun Min to take over smoothly. The position of patriarch.

Of course, the premise of this is that there will be no more incidents during this period!For example, the people around Gongsun Min will not have any accidents, for example, there will be no external forces trying to disrupt the current situation!
In Xi Liemo's words, he made no secret of his implication: Gongsun Yu may not agree to his request, but the next patriarch will definitely not be Gongsun Min!
Gongsun Min is the successor that Gongsun Yu has spent half his life cultivating. He believes that as long as Gongsun Min successfully takes over the position of patriarch, the prosperity of the Gongsun clan will not change in decades.

However, if the position of patriarch falls, those who want to compete with Gongsun Min will be far less intelligent than Gongsun Min. Not to mention, how can Gongsun Min, who thought he could get the position of patriarch, be reconciled after the position of patriarch falls? To be inferior?
At that time, a civil strife will be unavoidable, and its fate, almost no need to think about it, also knows that it will be the time for the defeat of the Gongsun family.

Originally, according to Gongsun Yu's temper, this time should be the time to be furious, but at this moment, he suddenly became extremely calm.

He has completely seen in his heart that the current Xi Liemo is no longer the Xi Liemo who had to rely on the support of the Gongsun family when he first came to the throne.

He is an ambitious emperor, and his first step is to completely get rid of the three major families.

Ever since he insisted on marrying Li Guo, Xi Liemo was ready to tear himself apart with the three major families.

Huyan's family's iron and salt mining rights have been withdrawn, and their vitality has been greatly damaged; now it is his Gongsun family's turn, nearly [-]% of the fertile land has been taken away, and the right-hand man of the next patriarch has been beheaded.

The two major families of Xiqiang have lost nearly [-]% of their power in just a short period of time. Next, how can they still have the ability to compete with the increasingly powerful royal family?

We must find another way out!Otherwise, the three major families will become legends sooner or later!
Gongsunyu hid the emotion in his eyes, and calmly said: "The old man knows! Three days later, please send someone to take over the [-] mu of fertile land!"

A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Xi Liemo's mouth, "Patriarch Gongsun, this king will set aside [-]% of the grain produced from the [-] mu of fertile land to help the victims! This king is here to thank the patriarch Gongsun on behalf of those people!"

"Your Majesty is dedicated to the people, and as a subject, I should share your worries!" Gongsun Yu said with a calm expression on his face, "If Your Majesty has nothing else to say, I will leave first!"

"Come here! Send the patriarch Gongsun out of the palace!"

-

In just half a month, Xi Liemo was in a very good mood when he took over the salt and iron mining rights from the Huyan family and the [-] fertile land from the Gongsun family.

Of course, what made him feel even better was that the day to recover from the hidden disease was almost here.

That night, Xi Liemo kept hinting to his queen that the day of recovery had come.

His queen was serious, discussing the real business with him: "Brother Amo, I heard that the tax revenue in March has doubled and nearly tripled compared to last year, and the amount of tax revenue in April will have to be reported in a few days. I think there should be at least two times the growth.

Several more circus troupes and jade factories have been opened, and some merchants in the Li Kingdom have begun to contact them and place orders. According to this momentum, the economy of Xiqiang will gradually prosper soon.However, there is another biggest hidden danger in Xiqiang. I think we should start planning. "

Xi Liemo gritted his teeth secretly. He felt that he had to make a new rule with his queen in the future: only talk about the serious matter of giving birth to a prince, and no other crooked matters were allowed!

Zhang Zhu was a little puzzled by his silence, raised her head slightly from his arms, looked at him with flickering phoenix eyes, and raised her voice, "Brother Mo? Are you listening?"

"I'm listening, I'm wondering what plan you're talking about?" Xi Liemo couldn't stand her small eyes, and asked casually in agreement.

"How to make more grain grow in the land of Xiqiang!" Zhangzhu's beautiful eyes were shining, "I thought about it for a while, and I think we can do this: recruit some experienced farmers from the people, and paddle some Let them experiment with the land, and if they plant it well, they will be rewarded, and when the time comes, the experience will be spread!"

She looked up at her little face that was dyed slightly red and exuded dazzling brilliance, and said to Xi Liemo: "Brother Amo, what do you think of this method?"

Xi Liemo approached her, "Ashu, don't you remember? It's time for me to give birth to a prince."

Only then did Zhang Zhu realize that it was indeed almost time...

When Xi Liemo got up early to go to the court, he specifically told the palace maid to let the queen sleep until she woke up naturally today.

Zhang Zhu stood up persistently.

The maid who helped her wash her body sighed, "This king is too much."

Zhang Zhu gritted his teeth with hatred, "Mother Gong, today, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is closed, and no one is allowed to enter!"

"Queen!" The maid in the palace who was cleaning her was taken aback. The bath towel in her hand fell into the bucket, and she hurriedly picked it up, "It's not that good, right? What if the king goes to another hospital..."

From the perspective of the palace maid, it will be a matter of time before Xi Liemo goes to rest in other palaces to pamper other princesses and beauties.

But it would be even better if he could stay in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a few more days so that the queen could conceive earlier and gain a foothold in Xiqiang.

Mistress Gong suddenly regretted her complaint.

After all, it is more important to give birth to a prince as soon as possible.

Zhang Zhu gritted her teeth and said, "How dare he? Let him sleep in the imperial study!"

Gong Nai wanted to persuade Zhang Zhu again, but Zhang Zhu's expression was not allowed to say any more, so she had no choice but to shut up and continue to help Zhang Zhu clean.

After Xi Liemo dealt with the government affairs in the imperial study for a while, he couldn't sit still. Before he left in the morning, his queen's accusing eyes with tears in his eyes were deeply imprinted in his mind.

Not long after lunch, Xi Liemo was in no mood. He simply put down his pen and went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, intending to appease his queen.

Unexpectedly, when he walked to the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he was greeted by a closed door, and the palace man guarding the door said: "Your Majesty, the Queen ordered the Hall of Supreme Harmony to be closed today, and no one is allowed to enter!"

When the palace man relayed the queen's order, his calf trembled. If it was to someone else, he would say it, but now the king is in front of him. What if he is angered and he is pulled out and chopped off?How can this make him not weak?
Xi Liemo didn't expect his queen to be really angry, she got a bad nose, and walked away resentfully.

Back in the royal study, feeling more and more frustrated, he kept thinking about how to please his queen, and was completely indifferent to dealing with political affairs.

After much deliberation, he finally came up with a solution. When the door opened, he called out loudly, "Ah Cong, get ready to leave the palace!"

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the mother-in-law of the palace said to Zhang Zhu who was eating dinner alone: ​​"Queen, I heard that the king came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the afternoon, but was stopped outside the door. After returning to the imperial study, he left the palace soon. I don’t know what to do when I leave the palace.”

She took a peek at Zhang Zhu's expression, saw her calm face, and said: "Queen, this man is different from a woman, as a woman, if he doesn't cooperate and makes him bored, he will easily go out to find other women! "

When Zhang Zhu heard what he just said, he paused for a moment, then continued to eat with a thoughtful expression.

Putting down the chopsticks, "Nurse, I'm full, take it away."

When going to bed at night, Xi Liemo was suddenly gone, and Zhang Zhu, who thought it would be much easier, actually felt uncomfortable, and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning for a long time.

Others thought that Xi Liemo was unable to favor women because of hidden illness, but she knew very well that Xi Liemo was unwilling to favor other women because of her.

He has been for her for so long, shouldn't he follow him?

She lay on the bed and sighed faintly, in a dilemma, unable to make a decision.

At this moment, there was a slight noise outside, as if the palace nurse let out a low voice, and then there was no movement.

Immediately afterwards, the door was opened.
