Empress Chu

"Yan Fang shouldn't have returned the token of the inner palace guard to Ah Yu." Xie Qiye said angrily.

Xie Yanfang, who was looking at the chessboard, was called out by name, she came back to her senses, and said: "You can't take what you shouldn't, and it will only cause trouble if you take it. As for what the queen and the grand master said, it doesn't matter if you don't know."

Xie Qiye said: "It doesn't matter?"

Xie Yanfang didn't tease him like before, but shook her head and nodded: "It doesn't matter." She said with a sigh, "Miss Ah Zhao is still too kind."

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves with one hand and held a pen in the other.

"Kindness is a good character, but to be a good queen, how can you not be cruel and merciless."

"Then let me help you pick out this kindness again."

Chapter 41 Supervised

Compared with the turmoil in the court in the capital, Yunzhong County is not peaceful.

Zhong Changrong threw a few order papers on the table, hitting the order talisman in the bamboo tube and shaking wildly.

"What the hell is going on in Changpingguan?" He scolded, "If you don't fight with Xiliang, your hands will itch, right? Fight yourself!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the waist knife at the side and walked out.

"I'll go in person and have a good time playing with them."

The lieutenants next to him hurriedly stopped, and comforted, "General, calm down." "I have sent people to control it." "You can't go, if you go, things will really make a big fuss."

Zhong Changrong was persuaded, and said with a sneer: "Let Changping Guan Ma Liang step down, and he won't be able to bring any soldiers, so how can he fight?"

Ma Liang is the chief general of Changping Pass.

"Actually, it has nothing to do with him." A lieutenant said, "It was caused by his subordinate Sima."

"The imperial court replaced Wu Shiliu, Sima of the Changping Army." Another lieutenant whispered, "Although Wu Shiliu is insignificant and has no achievements, you know, General, that Ma Liang hasn't gone to Changping Pass yet. Wu Shiliu was already in Changping, he hadn’t moved in half his life, and now that he’s suddenly replaced, he must be dissatisfied.”

Zhong Changrong's face was heavy, and he said: "What is he dissatisfied with? Is he the only one who changed this time? The generals said they changed and changed."

Since the reassignment in the capital, the imperial court has mobilized guards from all over the country to reinforce the frontier army, and at the same time adjusted the officers and generals of the frontier army to return to defend the interior.

The new superintendent of the imperial court said that this was for the sake of the generals. The war has been going on for more than two years, and the generals are inevitably tired, so they were replaced to recuperate.

"It doesn't matter if a few generals are changed. They can take away their own lieutenant generals, and the number of troops they lead in new places will not change at all. Although they may miss the military exploits of the frontier army, even if they don't have these military exploits, their status will not be affected. " A lieutenant general said, "Jun Sima is different——"

Most of them are like officials in prefectures, prefectures and counties. Their roots are all in the garrison, where they multiply and flourish.

Sudden replacement and transfer away is undoubtedly uprooted.

How can we not make trouble.

"Fortunately, General, you have already prepared and reminded Ma Liang." Another lieutenant smiled wryly, "Otherwise, I don't know how big the trouble will be."

"It's the same with the imperial court. I don't know what time it is?" Another lieutenant general complained, "It's a war, what general will be replaced?"

When his words fell, a man's deep voice sounded outside.

"Because of the importance of war, the hegemony of mediocre people is not allowed."

Several people in the room turned their heads in surprise, and saw a red-robed general walking in from the courtyard. It was the new supervisor of the imperial court, Jingwei Zhonglang General Fu Cheng.

It is said that it was sent by the imperial court, but in fact it was sent by Taifu Deng Yi.

Deng Yi supervised the country, was in charge of Yuxi's military power and Tiger Talisman, and sent his close Beijing soldiers to supervise the army.

Zhong Changrong's eyes darkened, he looked at the guards on duty in the courtyard, and shouted: "Why don't you notify General Fu when he comes, and let me wait to be rude and not greet you!"

The guards on duty looked annoyed and helpless, and without waiting for them to speak, Supervisor Fu said flatly, "This supervisor came here by the emperor's imperial order. I didn't let them disturb General Zhong, so as not to lose the position of supervisor."

What surveillance, is it voyeurism!Zhong Changrong's face was heavy, and he said coldly: "Did General Fu come to monitor anything today?"

Fu Jianjun didn't care about his attitude, and walked in to put down a few volumes of military books.

"Wu Shiliu, Sima of the Changping Pass Army, tampered with the military records and stole the soldiers' pay." He said, "I'm here to tell you, General Zhong, that you don't need to be transferred to another place, but that you should be convicted and sentenced."

Zhong Changrong picked up the military booklet to look through, and cursed.

"General Zhong doesn't think it's inconvenient to punish him right now?" Supervisor Fu asked with a half-smile.

Zhong Changrong said in a deep voice: "Fu Jianjun is too worried, the army wins rewards and punishments."

Fu Jianjun nodded: "Then the supervisor can rest assured." He said with a smile, "General Zhong was entrusted by the queen, so don't let the queen down."

Is this a threat?Threatening to use Bian County's affairs to discredit the queen?Zhong Changrong said coldly: "Even if General Fu is ordered by the Taifu, don't forget the great kindness of the emperor."

Does this mean that no matter how powerful the Tai Tuo is, he is still just a courtier?Fu Jianjun let go of his smile and said, "Thank you, General Zhong, for reminding me."

After saying that, he walked away.

The lieutenants spat at his back, "A dog fights people's power." Looking at Zhong Changrong again, "General, this guy is relying on the Tai Tuo to dictate in the army."

Zhong Changrong threw the military booklet in his hand on the table with a sullen face: "That also gave people a handle, so that people can tell others what to do. This damned Wu Shiliu is really doing a good job! He is greedy for so much military salary." !"

The lieutenants also picked up the military books to read.

"Really greedy a lot?" "We don't understand this account book." "Why didn't the warlord check it out every year?" "This group of trash."

Zhong Changrong was annoyed by cursing, while Fu Jianjun stepped into his supervisor's mansion with a bit of a smile.

There were people waiting in the mansion, and they saluted: "The supervisor is back."

Fu Jianjun stretched out his hand to help: "Liang Changshi, don't be too polite."

Liang Ji stood up as he said, looked at Fu Jianjun's face, and said with a smile: "It seems that the supervisor is in a good mood this time."

Fu Jianjun wasn't used to coming here, he just felt that he was being shackled everywhere, especially that Zhong Changrong, relying on Chu Ling's legacy, the queen was his backer, so he couldn't get in, but seeing Zhong Changrong deflated today, he was really in a good mood.

Fu Jianjun laughed: "It's all thanks to Liang Changshi." He reached out and patted Liang Ji's arm, and sighed, "Liang Er is worthy of being a scholar, and he is amazing. Then Wu Shiliu and his colleagues made such a secret trick." The account book, I can't tell even the masters I brought from the capital, you only took three days to find out the problem."

Liang Jidao: "Young officials can also do these pen work."

"Don't be humble." Fu Jianjun said, "Second Master Liang is like a god in transporting troops, and he has great ingenuity. I have admired your name in the capital for a long time, and I have ordered them to read and study all the reports about your residence in the army, as a role model."

Liang Ji said: "I am ashamed of myself."

This is the truth.

But this truth is even more satisfying in Fu Jianjun's eyes.

"Sure enough, the more capable people are, the more humble they are." He sighed.

Unlike that Zhong Changrong, who was arrogant and arrogant.

"Second Master Liang." Superintendent Fu said again, "You have helped my superintendent so much, if you need anything, just ask."

Having said that, he smiled again.

"When the Taifu came, he praised Erye Liang and his son as brave generals and they can be reused."

It means that they are all Taifu's people, Liang Ji naturally understood, and knew that it was because of Liang Qiang.

The fact that Liang Qiang was appointed as a guerrilla general by the Taifu was widely spread among the frontier army.

"Thank you for your appreciation." He said, looking at Fu Jianjun again, "Since this is the case, I will not be polite. I do have something to ask."

Fu Jianjun was not afraid of others asking for something, but was so afraid that he would ask for nothing.

"Okay." He twirled his beard and smiled, "Please tell me."

Liang Ji said: "I want to be the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army and be a long history."

Fu Jianjun paused with his fingers, pulled off a few short beards, and took a slight breath.

Being a long history in the commander's army, he is the right-hand man of the commander-in-chief, who has the right to plan and decide the battle situation.

He didn't think Erye Liang wanted to be Zhong Changrong's right-hand man.

This is to divide power and strive for success.

Chapter 42 Other Choices

Liang Ji bid farewell to Supervisor Fu's army and left the county, instead of returning directly to the left-wing army's garrison, he went home first.

Ever since Liang Qiang came to Beijing to meet with the guerrilla generals, the Liang family changed to a new house.

Presented by local gentry.

Liang Ji has been in the army, and this is the first time he saw his new home when he came back. He stood outside the door and looked at it. Although it was a bit rough compared to the exquisite mansion in Liang's capital, the gray walls and high eaves had a special flavor.

"Who--" The door was opened a crack, and a doorman inspected it. Just as he was about to ask, someone pulled him away from behind, "It's the master."

Liang Ji saw the two servants running out, one was pleasantly surprised and the other was apprehensive, and he smiled himself. He had a big house and bought servants. The new servants were not very familiar with the new master.

Liang Ji stepped into the house. This time Liang's wife did not wash her sleeves with her sleeves rolled up, but was sitting on the porch looking through the account books. There were two servants standing in front of her, waiting for orders. Her daughter was playing on a swing, and a [-]- or [-]-year-old maid was calling out cautiously behind her. "Miss." Protect her.

This scene made Liang Erye seem to have returned to the time before he was not convicted.

But it's still different, the wife's face is rough, her clothes are also simple, and there is only a dull maid by her daughter's side.

Seeing him come back, Liang's wife got up, her daughter jumped off the swing and called her father, and the servants and maids saluted timidly.

"Father." The daughter hugged Liang Ji's arm and asked anxiously, "Are we going back to the capital?"

Liang Ji was stunned for a while, and Liang's wife said helplessly, "I know everything."

Liang Ji laughed again, and asked his daughter, "Does Ah Yuan want to go back to the capital?"

The daughter nodded immediately: "Think about it, I want to go home."

Isn't this home in her heart?Liang Ji wanted to say something, looked at his daughter's smiling face, swallowed it back, and only nodded.

The daughter happily ran away, urging the maidservant, "Hurry up, hurry up, take the presents I prepared, and I'm going to say goodbye to them."

"I'm back in the capital, as I said earlier, my family is in the capital, and I'm the eldest lady."

Liang's wife scolded a few words helplessly, and then looked at Liang Ji: "You go quickly, the people in the third and fourth rooms are waiting for you in the study."

Liang Ji didn't change his official robe and went directly to the study, where the brothers and nephews were discussing in full swing, when they saw Liang Ji coming in, they stopped talking, and greeted them respectfully and excitedly.

"Has everyone made up their minds?" Liang Ji asked straight to the point, "Would you like to go back to the capital?"

Needless to say?Everyone nodded excitedly, some said, "I've been looking forward to this day for a long time." Some said, "I didn't expect this day to come." Some simply covered their faces and wept.

Liang Ji was not moved at all, looking at everyone: "It may not be easy to go back, our Liang family is equivalent to starting all over again."

No matter how difficult it is, it is better than being in the countryside in the border county. Moreover, Erye Liang and his son have a bright future, and they will be hired as an official every year.

Mr. Liang said this because he was worried that they would affect his promotion and fortune when they arrived in the capital?

Otherwise, when Boss Liang heard the news and came to him, Second Master Liang would refuse to drive him away. It is said that the original words were not to go to the capital to cause trouble.

After all, Liang Siqing was the principal offender, and her reputation was notorious. After returning, she would definitely be pointed at by others, which was too embarrassing.

But these family members are all implicated, and they are all innocent.

"Second Lord, don't worry." One person said sincerely, "It is precisely because Mrs. Liang is back that we want to do more."

"That's right, you and your son can't be the only ones fighting with their lives." The other person hurriedly nodded, "We are a family, and we need to help you."

Liang Erye glanced at him, do you want to help?Why didn't anyone say to serve as soldiers to fight the enemy together?I would rather be crowded in his house to do odd jobs.

The man obviously thought of this too, with shame on his face, and his eyes dodged: "We can't do it in war. We went to cause trouble for you, but it's different when we go back to the capital. We can make friends with aristocratic families, keep an eye on the movement of the court, and stabilize the rear for you."

The others nodded in agreement.

Liang Erye waved his hand to signal that they needn't say more.

"You still have to be cautious when you go back." He warned, "It's no different than before."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and said in unison, "Second Master, don't worry!"

Everyone left happily, and the servant came in to pour tea, and saw Liang Ji standing in front of the table, seeming to be absent-minded, frowning.

The house is full of joy, why does the master look unhappy?

"I heard that all the old houses in the capital have been bought back." The servant flattered him, "Mr. Ah Qiang is really amazing."

Liang Ji was interrupted, glanced at the servant, and asked, "Are you happy to go back to the capital?"

"Of course I'm happy." The servant hurriedly complimented, "It's all thanks to the master."

Liang Ji smiled: "Actually, it has nothing to do with me."

Well?The servant froze for a moment, what do you mean?Misheard?He was a newly bought servant, and he hadn't figured out the new master yet, so he didn't know how to reply for a while, but luckily someone walked in.

This is the master's entourage, Li Fang, it is said that it was a gift from the benefactor who pulled the master out of the labor, the master valued it very much and trusted him the most, and he never left his side wherever he went.
