Empress Chu

Li Fang glanced at the servant, and the servant hurriedly took the opportunity to retreat.

"What is the master thinking?" He asked with a smile.

Liang Ji glanced at him and said, "I'm wondering why my family should go back to the capital?"

Yes, the servant heard what he said right. In fact, he has nothing to do with anything. Whether it is the left-wing army in power, seeing the problem with Sima’s account books at Changpingguan, winning the trust of Fu Junjian, and letting his family members go to the capital now, it’s all about him. He has nothing to do.

Li Fangdao: "Second Lord is now famous, it's time for the family to return to their hometown."

Liang Ji looked at him: "Isn't it a hostage?"

Li Fang laughed out loud.

This smile made Liang Ji stiff, and his face turned red.

"Second Master." Li Fang said, "You think too much, and it doesn't matter to you."

His words were like a slap on Liang Ji's face, and Liang Ji's face was completely red.

Liang Ji wanted to say something but had nothing to say, angry and ashamed: "Then, why bother."

Li Fang didn't answer, but asked with a half-smile: "Why? Is the second master reluctant? The second master is just reluctant. Just keep them. They are dispensable."

Dispensable, this is another slap on the face, Liang Ji's expression changed, he is now sitting in his current position, what worries him most is becoming a dispensable person.

A useless person is a waste, and if he has to be discarded, then everything about him will be gone.

How about being a pawn?Aren't the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all the pawns of the emperor?Aren't all living beings all pawns of fate?

Everyone is a chess piece, it depends on whether it is useful or useless, he doesn't want to be a useless piece of chess.

"Just kidding." Liang Ji smiled slowly, "Not only brothers and nephews, my wife and daughter should also go back to the capital."

Li Fang didn't care, and smiled lightly.

Liang Ji didn't want to continue this topic anymore. It's just a trivial matter. He asked, "Can Superintendent Fu really let me be the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army? Then Zhong Changrong controls the commander-in-chief extremely tightly, and he has been staring at me for the past six months. It must be difficult to handle." , In fact, if you want more military power, why not let me take this opportunity to compete with the other two generals first."

Li Fang said with a smile: "Second Master, don't worry, it doesn't matter whether it can be done or not, the important thing is that it will be fine if it is done."

Just do it?Liang Ji was puzzled, there was no result, so what should we do?What's good?

……

……

On the barren hill in the middle of the night, Xie Yanlai dropped the grass he was chewing, and turned to look at the soldiers beside him.

"Fu Jianjun really said that?" He asked.

The soldier was none other than Xiao Shan who had followed Xie Yanlai and was beaten away again. Xie Yanlai came back this time and was named a guerrilla general, and he took Xiao Shan with him when he transferred troops.

"Really." Xiao Shan got his wish, and he was beaming with joy every day, "Fu Jianjun said in front of many people that the military camp was chaotic and formed cliques for personal gain, so he wanted to adjust the personnel, clean up the atmosphere, and then said that he would let Liang Ji come to the Chinese Army as the chief historian , as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhong Shuai told him to get lost—”

Xie Yanlai poohed: "What kind of temper does he have, why is he swearing at others?"

Xiao Shan stared: "Master, your temper is worse than his. If it were you, you would not only scold people, but beat them."

Xie Yanlai snorted: "Of course I do." She frowned again, "Can Zhong Changrong compare with me?"

Can't you?Zhong Shuai is older than him, right?Xiao Shan was puzzled, but still nodded: "Young master is right."

Xie Yanlai ignored his flattery, frowned and looked at the dark night in front of him: "Obviously Supervisor Fu, or someone else, just wanted to provoke him, so he shouldn't get angry. There's nothing to be angry about. He's the coach. I said haha ​​on the top, and I can rub people as I want with my hands."

He muttered a few words and stood up with his feet on the ground.

Xiao Shan was puzzled and hurriedly followed.

"Master, are you withdrawing your troops?" He asked.

Xie Yan came and said, "I won't accept it, you stay here and watch, I'll go see Zhong Changrong."

Xiao Shan groaned and patted his chest: "Don't worry, young master, I'm here, you can go wherever you want to play."

But Xie Yanlai couldn't take a few steps, a soldier stood up in the night and blocked him.

Xiao Shan almost stepped forward and kicked the short-sighted soldier away, but the soldier spoke first.

"Ninth Young Master." He asked, "Where are you going?"

Hearing the title Ninth Young Master, Xiao Shan put his feet away. This is Xie Yanlai's entourage, sent by his family. Although he thinks that he is the most trusted person of the young master, he should give these people a little face.

Xie Yanlai looked at the soldier and uttered a word, "Get lost."

The soldier didn't wink at the hill to get away, but said: "My lord, you can't leave your barracks. The third lord has told you not to do anything reckless when you are outside. If you do, I will let you go home."

Xiao Shan knew what was going on when he heard this. It is said that the young master caused trouble in the capital and was reprimanded by his family, and then the family asked the servants to keep an eye on him.

It was the powerful elder brother of the ninth son, the order from the third son.

If the third son really let him go back, the young master may really have to leave the frontier army.

Xie Yanlai stared at the soldier, with a half-smile: "What? The third brother stopped pretending? Isn't he the good brother who doesn't care about what I do?"

The soldier didn't react at all to these words, he just pretended he didn't hear them, and didn't give way.

"Xiaoshan." Xie Yan called.

Xiao Shan quickly jumped over: "Master, I'm here."

"Send an emergency military report to General Zhong." Xie Yan said, staring at the soldier, "You can't take care of this, can you?"

The soldier moved out of the way and said respectfully: "Master, you are joking. The younger one is just serving you, and you dare not ask about important military affairs."

……

……

But Xie Yanlai wrote the letter, and Xiaoshan galloped all night, and it took him a day and a night to rush to the county, but it was still a step late.

Zhong Changrong has urgently reported this matter to the capital.

It was dusk again, the queen came to the front hall, this time the officials surrounded by the Taifu did not retreat, but wanted to salute and say hello, but the queen dispersed them.

"Everyone back down." She said, "I have something to say with the Taifu."

The queen's complexion was not very good.

how?After a few days of reconciliation, the Queen is going to quarrel with the Taifu again?The officials looked at each other and backed away.

Chapter 43 Recognition

The busy and noisy Taifu hall became quiet.

Deng Yi was sitting in front of the table, reviewing something, stopped writing, and looked at Chu Zhao.

"Is there anything about the court affairs that dissatisfies the Empress?" He asked.

Since the joint investigation of the Xia Xun case in Huzhou, the relationship between the queen and the Taifu has eased a lot in the court hall. When the queen speaks in the court hall, the Taifu is no longer silent and ignoring. Before the queen uses Longyiwei, she will say hello to the Taifu.

So regardless of their attitude towards the guards in private, at least on the surface, the well water does not offend the river water.

Chu Zhao looked at Deng Yi: "Why did the Grand Tutor intervene in the frontier army?"

Deng Yi put down the pen in his hand: "Intervene?" He looked at Chu Zhao, "Does the frontier army no longer belong to Daxia?"

Chu Zhao took a deep breath, but this time he was not in the mood to coax Deng Yi well.

"Teacher, you know what I mean." She said directly, "Don't worry, I can accept the dispatch of a supervising army. I can also accept that you use the state and county soldiers to replace part of the frontier army because of the exhaustion of the war. Everything is fine. For the great summer, for the victory of the war, but how can you intervene in the coach of the Chinese army!"

After she finished speaking, she threw a report on the table.

Deng Yi glanced at it, but instead of picking it up and opening it, he took out a few letters and newspapers from the desk case.

"The frontier army is full of moths. How much influence does it have on the war? Does the queen only care about military power and ignore everything else?" He said, "The commander-in-chief of the Chinese army is the most important thing in the war. It's not for the sake of Daxia." Is it a win?"

"Stop talking about these things. You are not in the court, and there are no other people around. You don't have to speak so grandly." Chu Zhao sneered. Do you want to control the frontier army?"

Deng Yi also sneered: "Is it high-sounding? The queen has repeatedly guarded against the Liang family and his son, disregarding the overall situation of the military situation, and only focusing on military power. Are you really for the great summer, for the victory of the war?"

He also threw several letters and newspapers on the table.

"Do you know how many people Xie has placed in Border County? Don't they have the right to divide troops?"

"You only stare at Mrs. Liang, and only at me. Are you staring at Mrs. Daxia, or Mrs. Xie?"

He stood up and looked at Chu Zhao.

"I won't divide your power, and Mrs. Liang can't take your power away!"

"Chu Zhao, why don't you believe me?"

The afterglow of the setting sun shone in the room, making the vision of the two people standing opposite each other a little dizzy, and it burned like a flame.

Chu Zhao thought, why don't you believe him?

It was because she knew that Mrs. Liang could take away her power, and she also knew that Grand Tutor Deng Yi could take away the emperor's power, and he could even slap the emperor.

What is the emperor in Deng Yi's eyes, and what is he in Deng Yi's eyes!

Now she can clearly see that fate is coming to her eyes step by step, and it is all related to Deng Yi.

Now she thinks, maybe the fate of the last life is not just because of Xiao Xun, even Deng Yi can slap Xiao Xun, the emperor, because of a disagreement. Rescue, the emperor poisoned the empress, and helped the concubine Liang to be the empress. How could Deng Yi not care about such important matters?

Maybe, he led it.

Why should she trust him?

Looking back on everything since the acquaintance, the reason why she believed in him was because she believed that he was Xiao Xun's nemesis, but she never thought about how much her own destiny in that life had to do with this Deng Yi——

She trusted him too much, and she trusted herself too much.

"Because I really can't believe what the Grand Tutor has done." Chu Zhao said, "You keep saying that I don't believe you, so why do you believe me?"

Deng Yi looked at the girl in front of him, her eyes were strange and familiar to him at this moment.

The strangeness was that she had never seen him like this before.

Familiarity means that he has seen it before.

Back in Zhongshan County, on the way, Miss Chu's eyes looked at Xiao Xun, the eldest son of Zhongshan Prince.

Now, it's his turn.

"I said it was wrong for you to do this, but you insisted that I was bewitched by others, and you didn't believe that it was my own judgment." Chu Zhao said coldly, "If that's the case, then there's no need to talk about it."

After finishing speaking, turn around.

Deng Yi thought, in fact, from the moment we first met, Chu Zhao had a bad temper and insisted on going his own way. She hated and hated anyone who violated her will, because she treated him respectfully and flatteringly, and often praised him as a hero. , so he thinks she is a cute girl?

He's really obsessed.

Looking at the girl's back, he didn't want to keep her, she was really stubborn and blind, and he didn't want to talk to her anymore.

He watched Chu Zhao walk out of the hall and disappear from sight.

"Come here." He shouted loudly, "Why hasn't the supplementary roster of the household department that I want come here!"

There was a little confusion outside, some officials ran back and forth to answer, some officials urged outside again, and the officials who retreated to the distance also came again, and the former busy and noisy in the Taifu's room resumed.

But the news that the Queen and the Tai Tuo had another quarrel spread like flying.

But it doesn't matter, it's not the first time the Queen and the Taifu have quarreled, so let's quarrel, anyway, one queen and one is the Taifu, it doesn't matter how they quarrel, and what they want to do is to take advantage of the gods to fight to gain benefits.

For example, that Zhu Yong, it can be said that through the quarrel between the empress and the Taifu, he jumped up and changed his body, from a small editor to a fellow guard of the guards wearing a python robe-although many officials disdain the guards, but in their hearts Still afraid.

After all, the group of people in the Gongwei Division are like wolves and tigers, and no one can stop what they want to do.

If you really offend them, whether it is the Tai Tuo or other officials, they will scold you for you and reprimand Long Yiwei for acting shamelessly, but the unlucky one is yourself, and no one can replace you.

Zhu Yong's small courtyard had countless visitors in the dark night.

There is also the servant of the household department who revealed that Xia Xun in Huzhou is corrupt. He has brought so many people into misfortune. Although he is still living in the cell, his family is safe and sound. It is said that he will receive preferential treatment when he is released from prison. Maybe the queen will give him a gift. Foreign officials——

It is said that the Gongwei Division will also set up yamen in various places.

To many people, it is better to be a submissive servant under the Taifu, or to be under one of the servants under the Queen, and above the court officials.

So seeing the Queen and the Taifu quarreling, the court officials no longer sneered and watched as before, but got involved and caused a wave of fluctuations.

Even Xie Yanfang was staring at this matter, and Xie Yanfang also laughed when she heard Xie Qiye beaming and saying, "The queen has withheld several memorials from the Taifu".

"What did the queen say?" He asked with great interest, and before Xie Qiye could answer, he asked himself, "Did the queen say that the Taifu is the supervisor of the country, but the supervisor is the country of Daxia, and this palace is the queen of the country. It is unreasonable to go to the Taifu to supervise the country, so naturally we have to ask?"

Xie Qiye snorted and nodded: "That's really what it means." Then he asked curiously, "Did you teach her?"

Xie Yanfang said: "Miss Azhao can't use my teaching when she is a queen, she is very smart."
