Empress Chu

That's true, the three of them looked at each other, the sullen official frowned helplessly, and looked at the far away official: "This is too naked. It used to be private, but now it's all swaggering."

……

……

Xie Yanfang looked at the documents handed over by the officials, but did not accept them, and said, "The Border Commandery Military News can be sent directly to the Grand Tutor, you don't need to bring it to me first."

The official said: "I remember, it's just that this is a bit special."

special?

Xie Yanfang reached out to take it and opened it: "Military merit, I don't need to look at this. Now the frontier counties are the most important. General Chu will give whatever he wants."

The official stretched out his hand to turn over two pages, pointed to one of the lines, and said in a low voice, "Of course military merit should be given, but these two people——."

Xie Yanfang's gaze settled on it, and she saw two names.

He said: "At this time, when you join the army, Liang Erye and his son are considered bloody men."

The official said: "It's because Liang Erye and his son didn't know where they went, but they took this opportunity and got military merits. The crimes were immediately offset, and they became officials again."

Xie Yanfang said: "This is a hero in troubled times."

The official laughed: "Third Young Master, don't sigh, this document should be destroyed?"

Xie Yanfang looked up at him and said with a smile, "Why?"

"Mr. Liang was convicted because of Mr. Xie." The official said, did the third son forget?Impossible, the third son has a photographic memory.

Mrs. Liang was rewarded with an official status, and the dead tree was considered to have a new life-no enemy would like to see this scene.

Liang Shi has a grudge and will threaten Xie Shi.

Xie Yanfang laughed, and threw the General newspaper back on the table: "It was not my Xie who threatened the Liang family when it was prosperous, how can it be now?"

"But, third son." The official smiled wryly, "now there is a grand tutor."

The Taifu is very willing to support those who have enemies with the Xie family. The Liang family and his son only made a small military contribution this time, but if the Taifu is willing to support them, they will be able to skyrocket and become the Taifu's lackeys, and they will fight against the Xie family everywhere. Trouble.

For this kind of thing, it is necessary to take precautions before it happens, directly destroy Liang's vitality, and Liang's military exploits will never be imagined.

Xie Yanfang looked at the officials and nodded: "I know what you mean, but if this matter is done, it will be a big loss because of a small one. When the war is critical, suppressing military merits and not approving them is just to leave people with excuses. Shaking the morale of the army will be punished, and I, Mrs. Xie, will also offend the entire border army—"

He picked up the paperwork, paused, and smiled.

"It's better to let Taifu make his own decision, then it has nothing to do with me."

The official didn't seem to understand, Xie Yanfang motioned to him, the official hurriedly approached, and a smile appeared on his face when Xie Yanfang whispered a few words.

"Understood." The official smiled, took the military report, and bowed out.

The Taifu's location was the busiest place in the imperial city. Before the officials here finished asking for instructions, another official rushed over from the other side. After finishing speaking with great difficulty, the little official next to the Taifu raised his hand to stop the rest of the people.

"Everyone stop, you come here in rotation, take turns to eat, Master Taifu hasn't eaten yet." They shouted in a deep voice.

The petty officials in front of the Taifu should not be underestimated either. Even though they are all low-level casual employees, they are all his own people arranged by Deng Yi——his own people who send money to him.

Money is not small money, and it is not something ordinary people can afford. They are all rich and powerful families. After giving money, Deng Yi arranged jobs, so everyone became their own.

The powerful family got the opportunity, and Deng Yi got the support and support, each got what they needed, and enjoyed themselves happily.

These petty officials were not young, and the officials should not underestimate them. In order to see Deng Yi, they had to make friends with the petty officials.

At this time, after listening to the words of the little official, they could only withdraw.

"The Taifu will finish eating later, remember to be the first to call me." Another official whispered to the little official, and at the same time stuffed a jade pendant for the little official by straightening his sleeves.

The little official took it calmly.

This scene was seen by many people, and some people shook their heads helplessly: "What is the difference between this and the previous crown prince's administration."

At that time, the first emperor ignored court affairs, the prince was obsessed with riding and shooting, the Yang family was domineering, and riding and shooting officials were rampant, just like this to collect money——

I still think that the new emperor and the new Taifu have a new look now.

But now that I think about it too much, the absurdity of the first emperor to find such a humble official as the supervisor of the country will only be more absurd.

"You can't say that." Another official said in a low voice, "Anyway, the Taifu's court affairs were not delayed, and the handling was extremely fast, accurate, stable, good—"

Another official nodded: "If you take money, you can take money, if you have hegemony, you can have hegemony, just do things, let's get through these few years first."

Big summer is really full of disasters.

Look at today, the little emperor, the empress who has no rules, the grand master who is bent on making money for hegemony, um, fortunately, there is also a third son Xie.

The officials retreated in the hallway outside the hall, thinking about each other, but one official who had just arrived refused to retreat and rushed inside.

"Teacher, it's an urgent message from Bianjun. General Chu said that military merits will be rewarded immediately, and there can be no delay." He held up the document in his hand and shouted.

Sitting down in front of the food table, Deng Yi, who was being wiped by two small officials, raised his eyes slightly.

"What are you talking about?" he said, "In addition to fighting wars, General Chu also wants to sit in court?"

After hearing his words, the little official standing at the door no longer hesitated, and stretched out his hands to hold down the official who was about to rush in.

"Get out!" they shouted.

The officials were weak, and they staggered back when they were pushed and held the documents.

The hall door was slammed shut.

Chapter 65 See you at night

Xie Yanfang didn't care what happened in the main hall. He carefully studied the papers he had written, and called an eunuch to come in.

"This is the detailed explanation of a few court affairs that I just wrote and sent to Your Majesty." Xie Yanfang said, "Your Majesty can take a look at it after finishing homework."

The eunuch smiled respectfully: "Your Majesty Xie was just joking. Your Majesty likes to read it. You can't put it down every day before you go to bed. You have to be urged by Eunuch Qi to put it down."

Xie Yanfang said: "Your Majesty likes to read it, I will write again for Your Majesty."

He will not rush to walk in front of Xiao Yu.

He would wait slowly, show his heart to the child, and wait for the child to let go of his knots and come to him in person.

It wasn't until night fell, when everyone left except the officials on duty, that the imperial city became quiet.

Although there were no more officials rushing in, the volumes on Deng Yi's desk were piled up like a mountain. The busy Deng Yi suddenly stopped and called for someone to come.

A small official came forward.

"Go." Deng Yi said, "Bring that military merit booklet."

The little official was stunned for a moment, then he realized what Deng Yi was talking about.

"My lord wants to approve Chu Ling." He asked.

Deng Yi held his pen and said, "It's not for Chu Ling's approval, I just want to see why you don't want me to approve it."

……

……

Flipping the file with his fingers, the lights flickered, and soon his fingers stopped at one place and tapped lightly.

The little official hurriedly went up to look at it, and read out the name on it, "Liang Yao, Liang Qiang." Ahh: "It's the Liang family!"

"So it's the Liang family." The petty official clapped his hands again, suddenly realizing, "That kid did it on purpose!"

They spent money to come in without any other skill but to be smart, to act as Deng Yi's hand and eye, so they naturally noticed that the official was Xie Yanfang's.

"No wonder that kid picked up a nail and bumped into it on purpose. It turned out that he deliberately wanted to annoy you." The little official said, "Mr. Liang has a grudge against Mr. Xie. Mr. Liang's assignment to Bianjun was done by Mrs. Xie. Xie Yanfang definitely didn't want to see it." Go to Liang's to get credit."

The little official was elated and finished talking by himself, Deng Yi just looked at the names on the military merit book, and said: "Heroes come out of troubled times. War is a tragic thing, but it is also an opportunity for many people."

Why didn't he also get an opportunity in the chaos.

He doesn't mind other people having the opportunity too.

Deng Yi picked up a pen to approve the words at the end of the document, and then took the Taifu's seal and jade seal to seal it.

"As General Chu wishes." He said.

……

……

When Xie Yanfang left the imperial city, there were no guards around him, only Du Qi alone, walking through the market, the night did not hide his magnificence, and people passing by couldn't help but look at him.

"It's Mr. Xie."

"Thank you, Third Young Master!"

Some people murmured, some shouted excitedly, but everyone did not bother. Watching the young masters go about their work one by one, it was pleasing to the eye.

"Mr. Xie is in an important position, and the situation is not stable. He still doesn't need a guard when he travels."

"It can't be compared with Taifu Deng. The streets will be closed when Taifu Deng travels."

"How can a villain be compared with a nobleman of a family."

Xie Yanfang didn't care about the sights and discussions around her, she was immersed in her thoughts, but when a horse's hoof slammed behind her and shouted an urgent order, Xie Yanfang and Du Qi immediately stood aside and watched the post soldiers gallop past.

"Military rewards from Bianjun." Du Qi said in a low voice, then sneered, "The Grand Tutor didn't want to let go of his heart, so he sent it away in a hurry."

Xie Yanfang watched the post soldiers go away: "That's good, General Chu doesn't need to worry about this matter." Looking at Du Qi again, "Miss Ah Zhao has seen her father, right?"

Du Qi nodded: "I see."

Xie Yanfang looked into the distance: "Is General Chu's health even worse?"

Du Qi nodded again, and said in a low voice, "I can't see it anymore, counting the time—it won't be long."

Xie Yanfang sighed softly: "Miss Ah Zhao is both happy and sad right now."

……

……

The night in Bianjun was howling, the city was under curfew, and there were no other people except soldiers and horses.

A group of people came galloping from outside the city.

Among them, the girl in cotton armor stopped in front of the official office.

The soldiers waiting in front of the official office saluted one after another, "Miss."

They originally called the Queen before, but they always felt awkward. Chu Zhao waved his hand and said, "It's not in the imperial city, and the queen who patrols the city with the general is not the queen anymore. We are a family, so we can just call you Miss."

So everyone freely called Miss, a family.

"Would you like to come to the concierge to have a drink to warm up?" Chu Zhao asked, raising his heavy hat and asking the soldiers behind him.

To or not to?Ding Dachui didn't dare to answer, and looked at the young general in front of him—the head of the house didn't come, but Ding Dachui still couldn't become the person in charge.

Xie Yanlai's entire face was wrapped in a scarf, only one pair of eyes remained, and he glanced at Chu Zhao: "Instead of drinking, Ms. Chu will continue to patrol with us."

Chu Zhao giggled, "No." She put on a delicate look, "Miss Chu is young and weak, she is going to rest, and the heavy responsibility still depends on you good men."

Xie Yanlai snorted and urged the horse to gallop, Ding Dachui and others hurriedly followed——

Although the head of the family didn't come, Ding Dachui didn't take the opportunity to reveal Aunt Ding's true face to Chu Zhao, because every time he wanted to speak, he always felt that someone was staring at him, so he didn't dare to speak out.

Forget it, let's take one step at a time—it was so easy to climb the big tree of the queen, Ding Dahui didn't want to die so early.

A group of people galloped away.

Chu Zhao quickly stepped into the government office, trotting all the way to the backyard.

"Miss, Miss." A Le waited on the porch, smiling all over his face, "It's even colder today."

Chu Zhao hummed, hugged his cloak tightly and rushed into the room.

"Father, are you asleep?" She stood in the hall and shouted loudly, "I'm back."

Such a loud shout would wake him up even if he fell asleep, Ah Le laughed.

There was already a voice from the inner room, and it was tepid: "I know, I haven't slept yet, waiting for you."

Chu Zhao shook off her boots, which were as hard as ice cubes, and A Le unfastened her cloak, while two other maidservants put on warm shoes for her, and patted her body with a hot towel to warm her up as soon as possible. In order not to bring the cold air into the inner room.

After a while, Chu Zhao hurried to the inner room and looked at Chu Ling who was lying on the bed.

Under the dim light, the middle-aged man's face on the bed was as white as paper, his eyes were dull, but there was still a smile on his face, and he looked towards where Chu Zhao was.

The girl smiled like a flower under the lamp.
