Empress Chu

However, it is inappropriate to hit people now.

"Ma'am, don't worry about it." She smiled and looked at the lady who spoke earlier, "It's just a little thing, I won't keep it in mind."

The lady was stunned, what do you mean?This is really a lofty posture.

Chu Tang sat down on the chair beside him, and stretched out his hand to flip the flower cards that the girls had just played on the table.

"I know that everyone speaks unscrupulously because they are worried about the people and state affairs." She said, "This is very good, and the girls in our boudoir should also pay more attention to state affairs, so that we can know the hardships of the world and the suffering of the people's livelihood."

Is this the attitude of Aunt Guo?The ladies in the hall were stunned, and then angry again.

What is nonsense!

"It's just that you just look at the surface, see the leopard, and think it is right." But without waiting for the wives to question, Chu Tang slapped the flower card in his hand on the table, and said with raised eyebrows.

The girls were taken aback, and then there was an uproar.

Well, you Chu Tang, you are not a man with your tail between your legs like before, and you are also like Chu Zhao, cursing and beating others!

Chapter 56 Sitting

But not everyone is Liang Qin.

Even Chu Zhao can't beat and swear at will now.

The queen is her glory, but also her imprisonment.

Not to mention that you are nothing but Chu Tang!

"What we said is the truth." A girl said angrily.

Chu Tang immediately looked at her: "What's the truth? Seeing is believing. Did you see my uncle make a defensive mistake and the people from Xiliang beat him?"

Of course not, the girl choked: "But it is a fact that people from Xiliang appeared behind Yunzhong County."

"It is a fact that people from Xiliang appeared in the rear, but it is not necessarily because of my uncle." Chu Tang said, "Do you know how big Yunzhong County is? Do you know how many generals there are in a battle? Do you know that Xiliang and Great Xia trade, how many people from Xiliang come and go?"

Of course they didn't know, but another girl said: "But your uncle is the chief general, since he is the chief general, he must be responsible, otherwise, what kind of general will he be!"

Chu Tang looked at her: "This is what you think is right. Who said the general is not responsible? As long as the court finds out the guilt, it will automatically determine my uncle's guilt or innocence, but before that, you can't convict with empty words—"

What did the girl want to say, Chu Tang had already raised her voice.

"As the saying goes, the generals are not subject to the orders of the rulers outside the country. When the battle is together, it changes in an instant and is intricate. You don't have to listen to the emperor's orders. And you don't understand what happened in Yunzhong County. How can you follow others and even blame the front? War." She glanced at the people present, "Of course, it's okay for us young girls to talk casually, we are young and ignorant, but we are afraid that someone will use the opportunity to cause trouble, disrupt the stability of the rear, and affect As for the battle situation ahead, you must know that the turmoil in our capital has not been over long."

At the end, she lowered her voice, but emphasized her tone, coupled with her glance, the meaning was guessed by everyone present, even the girls——

The spies from Xiliang, the remnants of the Zhao family, and so on.

If this big hat is buckled, the fate will be worse than that of Liang Siqing's family.

The wives can no longer watch the fun, Chu Tang is not a girl who can be underestimated, and that Chu Zhao, if she really goes crazy, her virtue is not good, and they will lose their lives——

"Miss Chu, what you said is serious." A lady hurriedly said, holding down the girls beside her, "This is just a rumor they heard, and they are not concluding that General Chu is guilty, they are just pitying the people."

"Miss Chu, you don't have to worry too much." Another lady sat on a chair and whispered softly while holding a teacup, "These gossip will not disturb the court. The people are the people, and the court is the head of the family. Of course, you have to complain about your parents, the imperial court is sympathetic to the people and will not blame you."

Because if they are discussed, they will be punished and questioned. Such parents are not worthy of being the mother of the country.

Do you think that being a queen can be omnipotent?Can it be as famous as the Yang family and the Zhao family?

The wives looked at the girl sitting at the flower card table, with a slight smile on the corner of their mouths, the Chu family has no family background.

A Chu Lan who is nothing, a Jiang family with a small family, and only one Chu Ling.

He was born as a military general and has a bad reputation. What kind of confidence does such a descendant have?

"Yeah, you guys are so young, you just speak out loud and think simple, but don't think too much." The other wives also said one after another, "Speak well if you have something to say, what does it look like to quarrel or even fight?" .”

They were talking to the girls around them, but they were looking at Chu Tang.

There were so many people in the front hall, but at this moment Chu Tang seemed to be sitting on an isolated island.

The girls who were originally with Chu Tang were held down by their respective family members, unable to step forward or speak, and could only sigh anxiously.

Chu Tang, hurry up——

It would have been better to leave earlier, why bother to quarrel with others, Chu Zhao is a queen and is in the imperial city, everyone dare not and can't quarrel with her, you Chutang sent to the door, how can they let it go?

Qi Leyun was at a loss again, Chu Tang seemed to have become stupid all of a sudden, she wouldn't do this before.

The former Chu Tang, at this time, should be as distressed by the current situation as everyone else, and then blame herself, and even shed tears, and then stay behind closed doors, and then everyone will comfort her and sympathize with her——

At this time, the wives would also hold her hand and say, "My child, this has nothing to do with you."

Instead of being like this now, hitting her with a single sentence, and poking her like knives with eyes.

Chu Tang is the person who knows how to assess the situation and turn disadvantages into advantages—they all thought she was stupid and couldn’t see it. In fact, she certainly understood it. She couldn’t understand it at the time. After many times, she will understand it after thinking about it .

There is nothing so difficult to understand in the world.

But now she really doesn't understand.

Surrounded by the words and eyes, Chu Tang didn't feel any embarrassment at all, and nodded following the wives' words: "Yes, it's outrageous to quarrel, and complaining and criticizing are also deeply responsible for love, but as the Chu family, I still want to Say a few more words, because—”

She looked at everyone in the hall.

"You are all bystanders, living far away in the capital, while my uncle was fighting on the most dangerous battlefield, blocking tens of thousands of Xiliang troops, and guarding thousands of people in border counties. The tragic image, but he personally experienced death and the tragic image.”

"You heard heartache, anger, and cursing, but my uncle and father are at ease. Not only will he be heartbroken and angry, but he will also put away his anger and heartache, and then carry your curses on his back and continue to fight Xiliang, dispatching troops."

Having said that, she called out the maidservant's name aloud.

The maid who didn't know where she was hiding poked her head out and responded timidly——The previous scene was so scary, those ladies and ladies were going to beat the lady, she really wanted to drag the lady and run home, no, run to the palace, then is the safest.

"Call the little rabbit," Chu Tang said.

That's great, instead of calling her, the maid let out a sigh of relief and hurried out.

Who is the little rabbit?What are you calling for?The ladies in the hall were puzzled, and after a while, the maid came running with a ten-year-old boy.

"Miss A Tang." Xiao Tu stood still in the front hall, and looked at so many people without fear, calling loudly.

Chu Tang nodded to him, but did not speak to him, but looked at the people in the hall: "Xiao Tu is an orphan in Bian County, my uncle has adopted many orphans and widows, and many servants in my family are all orphans in Bian County—"

Yeah?The girls have doubts in their hearts, is it true or not?But before, even the Chu family didn't bother to care about it, so they wouldn't know where the servants came from.

"——The hardships in the frontier county, the tragedy of the war, we don't know it when we are far away in the capital, but Xiaotu——"

When hearing this, a girl finally had something to say.

"No." She shouted, pointing at the little rabbit, "he is only so old, the previous battle was 20 years ago."

That's right, the girls in the hall came to their senses, this Chu Tang lied to the children!

"—Yes, 20 years ago, Xiaotu's grandfather died in the war." Chu Tang raised his voice and said, "His grandfather died, his grandmother died of grief, his home was destroyed, his The father and his mother were displaced, and after giving birth to the rabbits they all died, and he became an orphan—is there anything wrong?"

That's right, the little rabbit stood in the hall and gave a heartfelt praise.

……

……

"There are many orphans like this in Bian County. They lost their relatives and homes because of the war. Many of them have personally experienced the horseshoes of the Xiliang thieves. They have seen the Xiliang thieves raise their swords. Die right in front of your eyes."

Chu Tang said, looking at Xiaotu.

"Xiaotu, do you hate my uncle Chu Ling?"

The conversation was a bit fast, Xiaotu blinked: "Hate—do you hate?"

Chu Tang nodded: "Yes, do you hate it? Because my uncle and other generals failed to protect you well, making you lose your loved ones."

Xiao Tu didn't seem to understand: "Isn't that made by Xiliang people? You should hate Xiliang people, why do you hate General Chu?"

Whether this little rabbit really doesn't understand or not, the ladies and girls in the hall all understand, a little angry and a little funny.

"Chu Tang, you don't need to ramble, we all know that the disaster was caused by the people of Xiliang." A girl said, "But so many people died, the ineffectiveness of the general is responsible, it's not something you should hate The problem is responsibility and dereliction of duty!"

"Whether so many people have died or not is negligence is determined by the court." Chu Tang said, "Even if it is an accusation, it should be blamed by those who have experienced it in Bianjun. It's not that you haven't even been out of the capital. , the girls who have never even seen a dead person come, just relying on what they hear and accuse them."

"You!" The girls said angrily, "Can't we even talk about what happened? Now people in the capital and the world are saying, you Chutang, are you going to stop everyone's mouths? ?”

Blocking the mouth of wandering around the world, this accusation is big enough.

Chu Tang sat on the chair without being in a hurry or annoyed, and said, "No, I don't want others to talk, but you also have to let me argue."

A lady sighed softly: "Miss Chu, in fact, this matter has nothing to do with you. You are young and you are also in the capital. We haven't seen it with our own eyes, so we don't know the details. Don't you?"

"Yes, I didn't see it with my own eyes, but that was my uncle. I belong to the Chu family, and the Chu family is one. I believe in my uncle, and I believe that he has the responsibility and ability to guard the border county for more than 20 years." Chu Tang said slowly. "So, I won't think that this matter has nothing to do with me, and I won't stay behind closed doors, and I won't avoid everyone's accusations, questioning and ridicule, but I will definitely defend my uncle before the court finds out the crime. "

This Chu Tang——At this moment, the wife and the girls were a little surprised, this Chu Tang had a different temperament from what the girls said every day.

Originally thought that Chu Zhao was in the deep palace, although he had a high status, he could not do whatever he wanted, and Chu Lan and his wife pretended to be ill to hide from the world, this time the matter about Chu Ling would always be one-sided.

Unexpectedly, Chu Tang, who has always been cautious and cautious, jumped out——

Although this Chu Tang didn't beat or curse, but when he refuted him sentence by sentence, it was like brown candy that couldn't be shaken off, or cotton candy that made people powerless.

"Miss A Tang." The host could not help but sigh softly, with the helplessness of the elders, "You really should avoid the limelight, no one can say for sure about this matter, in the future, I mean, if, if it is true, you will be convicted Now, you—what about your family?"

Chu Tang looked at her, and said softly, "Uncle is guilty, it's my Chu family's crime, and our family should also be punished and plead guilty together, so as to comfort the suffering people."

She said standing up.

"At that time, Chu Tang will personally confess to the wives and sisters, but now—"

"Chu Tang will never allow you to reprimand and slander my uncle and my Chu family."

Chapter 57 Retreat

After the banquet was over, the female relatives came out from the inside, and the front of the house became lively, with chariots, horses, servants and women in chaos.

"Let let, let let."

A car rushed over, and the driver was an old servant. He looked old and dazed, and the carriage was shaking. It seemed that it would hit other people and cars in the next moment, and the other cars and horses hurriedly avoided.

"What's going on?" "Whose car?" "What's the squeeze?" "Hush, it belongs to the Chu family."

Hearing this sentence, it was noisy and quiet, and everyone watched the carriage wobble but stopped firmly in front of the door.

The little rabbit ran out first, and sat in front of the car with a light jump.

"How is it?" asked the old servant in a low voice.

Xiao Tu pouted: "There was no beating at all."

The maid ran out in a panic and said that the lady called him, and said in a trembling voice that the people inside were bullying the lady.

"There may be a fight," the maid said in a low voice, "It's all up to you."

Now the Chu family closed their doors to thank guests, and when Chu Tang went out, there was only an old servant driving the cart, a servant handing the stool, and a maid following, not at all the grandeur of the Queen's House.

But others don't know, the maid who followed Chu Tang closely that night knew very well that this old servant and a young servant can beat the crowd of servants, regardless of the old and the young, they can kill people like melons!

She didn't dare to talk to them much.

"You are all members of the second master, you must help the young lady, protect the young lady, and me." The maid urged.

He is not a member of Master Chu Er, but an enemy of Master Chu Er.

After entering, Doutou was asked if he hated General Chu Ling, and he almost told the truth.

Fortunately, I realized in time that I was playing a play with this girl. After Miss Chutang made up his life experience, he also acted out how miserable an orphan is-fortunately, the gold collar is hidden in the clothes. arrive.

At that time, he saw that many women and girls in the room were in tears.

But then listening to the women talk——

"Although there was no fight." He nodded, "but it was quite fierce."

While they were talking, Chu Tang came out with the maidservants. Unlike before, the girls were surrounded by the wives and the wives greeted them. There was only the host's wife and two or three girls, and more people were behind, following them. They distanced themselves.

"Miss Chu, the hospitality is not good." The host's wife said with a bit ashamed expression, "Please forgive me."

Chu Tang smiled: "Madam, you are welcome, this has nothing to do with Madam." Looking at the girls behind him again, "Next time I will meet with you again."

The expressions of the people at a distance changed slightly when they heard her words, and next time?

I won't invite her next time——

"I will take the initiative to visit." Chu Tang said with a smile.

Yes, she is not invited, but if she comes to the door on her own initiative, who would dare to turn her away.
