Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Hebita immediately became furious and was about to stand up when Liu Ye grabbed Hebita's shoulder, hugged him in his arms, and said with a smile, "General Hebita, you are a dignified general and you should be sitting here. We are all subordinates, so how can we not know who is superior and who is inferior? Come, let me toast you a glass!"

Hebita's shoulder was grasped by Liu Ye's big hand, and he felt a strong force coming. This was the powerful grappling technique that Liu Ye had practiced diligently. Hebita's body had long been hollowed out by alcohol and sex, so how could he resist it? Cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Hebica was filled with fear. This kid had even beaten the prince in the capital. It seemed that he was only a general now, several levels lower than the prince. If he was beaten by him, even if the lawsuit was brought to the capital, he didn't know what the result would be. It would be in vain.

A hero can't suffer a loss in front of him!

Hebita forced a small smile on his face and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, yes! Sir Liu, you are too polite..."

Liu Ye raised his body slightly and said in a high voice: "People should understand the rules! This seat was originally meant for General He, but those two deputy governors wanted to sit on the seats on both sides, which is far from enough. They are just two second-rank guys, but they want to occupy important positions. Where did they put Lord Tan and me? There is no one in the air. They should be taught a lesson! Gao Qi, Gao E, keep an eye on those two guys. Stand in the yard! Stand as punishment! Let them go free when the banquet is over!"

“Chirp! Chirp!”

The two deputy governors naturally wouldn't just sit there and wait for death. They struggled, but Gao Qi and Gao E were no pushovers. They beat them both up with fists and kicks. "Granny! Are you acting so high and mighty in front of me? Not to mention you two, even that lousy general would be beaten up by us!"

The two deputy governors were beaten up and immediately became obedient. Now the general is silent. It seems that he is scared. The two of them can only accept their bad luck!

At this time, Liu Ye had already let Hebita go, picked up the wine glass and poured it for himself and the other two, then held it in front of Hebita and said, "General He, I offer you a toast!"

After saying this, he drank the wine in the glass. Hebitha's face turned pale and he drank it while holding the glass.

Hebita sneered, "Good, good! Lord Liu, you are indeed a figure who can dominate the city and even take down all the foreign devils! This general admires you deeply. In the future, we must get closer!"

Liu Ye laughed and said, "General, no matter who it is, even the high and mighty Emperor, they must abide by the rules. Without rules, there is no order. The rules among us are based on seniority and respect for the young and the young. You are a general, a first-rank official, so naturally I, a second-rank official, should show more respect. On the contrary, if the people below me, a second-rank governor, do not respect me, wouldn't that also be breaking the rules? Brothers come from the military, and military discipline is the most important thing. Anyone who breaks the rules will be punished without mercy! Everyone in the city knows that I am the most disciplined person!"

"Really? What about Prince Chun and Prince Zhong? I wonder if you and those two princes have followed your so-called rules?"

Liu Ye chuckled and replied, "My two princes, I respect you very much, but the previous disagreements were indeed caused by reasons. As I said before, rules, even the emperor has to abide by the rules. If the two princes broke the rules, they will naturally be punished. This punishment is not stipulated by me, but by the emperor and Prince Gong. As for whether I broke the rules or not, what do you think? If I hadn't broken the rules, I would have taken office in Shandong more than a month ago. This is the price I paid for breaking the rules! General, so, we should also abide by some rules. I will manage the military and political affairs of the eight states, ten prefectures, and one hundred and eighteen counties in Shandong, and you will manage your flag affairs. We will keep to ourselves, and the government will not be short of honoring you. We will live in peace!"

Hebita's face looked ugly. Liu Ye's words were very clear. Now that I have become the governor of Shandong, all the government affairs in Shandong will be under my control. You bannermen should not point fingers, and I will not interfere in your banner affairs. Just take care of your own stalls!

Hebita snorted coldly and did not answer.

Liu Ye laughed heartily, picked up the wine, and continued, "Come on, gentlemen, let's continue and toast the general together!"

After a few drinks, Hebita felt very uncomfortable. His two best friends were still standing outside. It was so embarrassing. But now he was on the governor's office's territory. He would never gain any advantage if he wanted to make trouble!

Hebita forced a smile and said, "Lord Liu, I suddenly remembered that there are still a few things to deal with in the government office. It is inconvenient for me to stay for long. I will take my leave now. Please forgive me..."

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Since General He has official business to attend to, I will not force you. Please do as you please, General He!"

Hebita bowed to Liu Ye and Tan Tingxiang, pushed open the chair and walked outside.

Arriving at the door, Hebica glared at Haji Khan and Guwalja fiercely. The two of them were useless, but they were dealt with by Liu Ye's two personal soldiers. It was really useless to be ruthless. If the two of them had some real skills, why would he be so embarrassed?

"Waste, why don't you follow me?"

Hebica shouted angrily and walked out of the yamen without looking back. Haji Khan and Guwalja turned pale and slipped out after him.

Hebita arrived in a show of strength and left in disgrace. Although Liu Ye had given him face, anyone with a discerning eye could see that today Hebita had admitted defeat, completely defeated! His two right-hand men were taken outside, and he was completely at the mercy of Liu Ye, without any input at all. Wasn't that a failure?

As soon as Hebita left, the officials below began to toast crazily. These days, whoever has the bigger fist is the boss. This evil star is definitely not someone they can afford to offend!

If I don't leave a good impression on the governor at this time, who knows how I'll survive the rest of the day? Let's curry favor with him first. The two deputy governors are both second-rank officials, and the garrisoned flag camps have always been independent and have no subordinate relationship with the governor's office. Liu Ye dared to kick them out directly, let alone us small fry?

Xing Mingtang, standing by, raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, since you have just arrived in Shandong, I wonder what our future rules will be? We brothers must have some rules, right? These brothers below are all very nervous. I am thick-skinned and dare to ask a question!"
