Empress Chu

"He used to fight all the time in the Beijing camp and the imperial army. My nephew said in the army that this kid is hated, but no one dares to provoke him."

"Have you forgotten what happened three years ago? Xie Yanlai was the one who was scolded by the Xie family in the street."

"I remembered! It seems to have killed everyone in the village!"

"Yes, why is this kind of person still alive?"

"Because his surname is Xie, he is the uncle of the country."

"Young Master Xie is really unlucky to have such a younger brother."

"The family is unfortunate."

"—the eunuchs in the imperial city have also come out—"

Hearing these words, people in teahouses, restaurants, streets and alleys stopped discussing and ran out to look. Sure enough, they saw three servants coming from the direction of the imperial city and galloping out of the city under the escort of the imperial guards.

"The emperor also knows the news. Is this someone going to pick up uncle?"

"Look, that eunuch is wearing a red robe, but he is a first-class eunuch who serves in front of the emperor."

"Let's go, there's nothing exciting to watch. The emperor must protect his uncles, and there are only a few uncles."

……

……

"Sister." Xiao Yu stood in the hall and called.

Chu Zhao, who was standing outside the hall, turned around and waved to him.

Xiao Yu happily walked over and took Chu Zhao's hand.

"My sister borrowed from Eunuch Qi." Chu Zhao said, "Do something for me."

"My sister's is mine, needless to say borrow it." Xiao Yu said, and asked curiously, "Did uncle come back? Just now when I was resting, I heard the gentlemen talking in a low voice."

But the gentlemen didn't dare to speak much in front of him, so they didn't hear too clearly.

Chu Zhao smiled: "Do you still remember that uncle?"

Counting it, Xie Yanlai and Xiao Yu haven't seen each other for more than two years.

Xiao Yu also smiled: "Sister, I was six years old two years ago, not a baby with no memory."

He didn't know what other children were like when they were six years old, but he himself could never forget anything from then on.

What's more, this is a very special uncle who doesn't like him and doesn't seem interested in being his uncle.

……

……

When Eunuch Qi came to the capital camp, he could hear the noise from a distance. The people onlookers dragged their families with their mouths, and there were many vendors selling baskets. Tea and snacks were available, and it was more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

He is angry and funny, what is this called.

But this is also good, sometimes absurdity can appease the public and avoid rumor confusion.

It is better to watch the excitement at this time than panic.

The officials were all on the high platform, and when they saw Eunuch Qi coming, some hurriedly greeted him, some just nodded lightly, and some even lowered their faces.

"Why is Eunuch Qi here?" Chief Zhu asked bluntly, pointing to the officials and guards at the side, "The Grand Tutor already knew about it and made a decision."

There is a grand tutor in state affairs, and the emperor who is not in charge is not qualified to speak.

Without waiting for Eunuch Qi to speak, Master Zhu pointed to the audience and said: "At home, Mr. Qi Xie also came in person."

Eunuch Qi looked over and saw a lot of people standing under the high platform, not wearing official uniforms and not soldiers and guards, except for the previous Xie family sons, and Xie Qiye.

Xie Qiye had already seen Eunuch Qi and raised his hand to salute.

Eunuch Qi returned the gift in a hurry.

He knew the meaning of wishing the master, and the elders also had it, so the emperor as a junior didn't have to ask.

Eunuch Qi was not surprised by Master Zhu's attitude. Although he was a small master, he had the Taifu behind him.

The court is a place where one ebbs and another. The emperor of the ninety-five years also wants to fight wits and courage with his courtiers, and the courtiers also look at the emperor's dishes.

The master is weak and the minister is strong.

Eunuch Qi didn't mind, nor was he angry, he said with a smile: "It's the empress who asked our family to come and see, after all, it's about the frontier army."

I wish the master a meal, this is indeed nothing to criticize, the empress personally leads the frontier army to fight, and she can indeed intervene in the affairs of the frontier army.

"Let's take a look." He changed the subject, pointing forward, "Your Majesty has never seen such absurd frontier soldiers."

Eunuch Qi looked forward and saw officers and soldiers scuffling in the field. They couldn't tell if you were wrestling with me. Their clothes were all torn and they were almost naked from the waist up.

"This, this is a gang fight." Eunuch Qi laughed.

Before the words were finished, the sound of drums was heard, and a soldier was lifted up by several people, holding a command flag in his hand——

It turned out that the two sides were fighting to grab the flag.

"We got it!"

"we won!"

"We won again!"

Accompanied by the cheers, the loser also began to curse, and the other party also cursed their own people, and the other party who was scolded also cursed back unceremoniously. The school field was swept by a storm, and the loud and unscrupulous curses were unscrupulous.

However, despite the fierce scolding and scuffling, the soldiers separated as the flag was waved, and each lined up again.

Xie Yanlai stood unsteadily in front of the team. He was not much better than the others. His upper body clothes had long since disappeared, and he was covered in dirt. He looked at the opposite general and smiled: "There is no way, look, you have lost again." .”

The general still had a short upper body, turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"How about what?" he said. "You've lost too."

"Three to two." Xie Yanlai pointed out his finger at him, "You lost the formation battle, you lost the siege battle, and you won the only ambush battle, that's because you are familiar with the territory—"

"Stop talking nonsense." The military general interrupted him with a snort, "It's obvious that you guys are slow to react!"

Accompanied by the conversation between the two, the soldiers behind them also shouted "How is it?" "It's better than you." "What are you bragging about if you lose!"

However, they didn't come up to fight together - it's a military competition, you have to follow the rules, the chief general hasn't issued an order yet.

"I don't agree." Xie Yanlai raised her eyebrows, "Then let's compare again, this time you can compare whatever you say."

But the general didn't accept it immediately like before, he hesitated, and said: "Forget it this time." He looked to the side of the high platform, "Too many people have been alarmed, if we continue to fight, no one will get good results."

Standing on the high platform are red robes, purple robes and green robes, and there is even more noise outside the school grounds. When you look up, there are heads everywhere.

Xie Yanlai sneered: "What's there to be afraid of? Don't you just fight?" He said again, "Besides, it's the officials who instigated the fight."

He pointed at himself, and without waiting for the general to speak, he strode towards the high platform.

"Adults." Xie Yanlai walked to the high platform and said loudly, "Now, the fight is over."

The officials on the high platform looked at him indifferently.

Master Zhu said coldly: "Then take it away."

The guards standing around came out immediately, Xie Yanlai didn't speak, but there was noise behind him.

"Don't take it away."

"We are just a military competition."

"Then, are we going to take us all away?"

Xie Yanlai turned her head and reprimanded angrily: "Whatever your business is, I finished the fight alone, but if I'm not satisfied, I'll let you play together—"

Before he finished speaking, it turned out that not only the frontier soldiers were behind him, but also the Beijing soldiers followed.

The leading military commander looked at him and said with a sneer, "You say to fight, but we shouldn't. Can you fight? Why don't you say that we don't care about our business?"

Chapter 15 opening

Although the general's words were not polite, everyone present knew what they meant.

The indifferent expressions of the officials on the high platform moved slightly. They didn't expect these Beijing soldiers to come out to stop them.

It was inexplicable.

"Lin Kun!" Chief Zhu called out the general's name. Although he was only a school lieutenant, they were all in the capital. Lin Kun was also a member of a family and knew each other. "Your affairs will be punished by the Beijing Camp."

Lin Kun was not afraid of him, and said with a smile: "What's the matter with us? Isn't it just because of the quarrel that we pushed and shoved a few times? When we arrived at the servant's place, the servant said it was nothing."

Lord Shi Lang has been moved out, these soldiers in the capital camp are very cunning in the capital, Master Zhu looked at him: "Arguing? How many times did you push and push? Isn't that what you said earlier?"

Lin Kun stared and pretended to be stupid: "It's just a quarrel, arguing over whether the food is delicious or not." He turned to look at the soldiers, "Is that so?"

A few of the soldiers stood up, their clothes were disheveled, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. They were the five cooks and soldiers from before. When the two sides competed, the instigators would naturally participate.

When asked at this time, all five people rushed to speak: "Yes." "That's it." "Actually, our cooking is really not good." "We didn't want to hear what they said, and we even scolded them."

This is different from what I said before.

Director Zhu looked at these people even more, and said with a sneer, "You are being beaten up, are you afraid?"

Lin Kun said: "My lord, you are destroying your prestige. They are all Daxia's soldiers and horses. How could we be afraid of being beaten? Who were we afraid of? The soldiers of King Zhongshan came to fight, shouldn't we also fight?" The chief wished to speak again, and continued, "We have admired the reputation of the frontier army for a long time. Now that we have met, we must compare each other. We are all brothers, so it is no big deal to compete."

Say and salute.

"It is our fault that the adults in the DPRK and China were alarmed."

"So if you want to be punished, let's punish them together, so that it is fair and fair."

The surrounding Beijing soldiers also followed suit and begged to "be punished together"

Amidst the noise, Xie Yanlai turned to look at Lin Kun, and said, "I didn't see it, you really have the guts."

"Xie Yanlai." Lin Kun said, "Based on your words, we can fight you again."

Xie Yanlai scoffed: "Come on."

This side was suddenly quiet, and suddenly noisy, the people watching in the distance didn't know what happened, but Zhang Gu and the soldiers standing nearby could see and hear the general idea.

"Marquis Lin Jun is so easy to talk." A soldier whispered, and he was relieved, "I went to him to deliver the post last time, and saw him throwing a temper tantrum and smashing the table. After smashing, he chased people and beat him. dead."

Zhang Gu couldn't help laughing: "He's not easy to talk to, it's just that Ah Jiu is very likable."

Another soldier nodded: "If you want to say that you are likable, Ah Jiu is really not that good. He can kill people with his words, but he is not a bully. He is very fair. If you hit me, I will hit you." You, if I hit you, you can also hit me, if you can't beat me, it depends on your own ability."

Zhang Gu shook his head: "Actually, he wasn't doing it for himself this time. If it was just for himself, he wouldn't tear himself apart with these people."

Ah Jiu is actually very lazy.

"That's right." The previous soldier nodded, "I said it was because of eating and drinking. Even if he was taken away by the officials of the Ministry of War, can he really be convicted of eating and drinking? At most, he can only be admonished."

"Then why is he fighting this fight?" Another soldier still didn't quite understand, "Showing off his power?" He was a little nervous again, "And now that he is making such a fuss, he can really be convicted of instigating soldiers to fight."

Zhang Gu looked at the soldiers gathered in front of him, they were all ashamed, and they were not as clear-cut as before, you are you and I am me, now they stand together and talk to each other.

"He is for the frontier army." Zhang Gu said, "He doesn't care about himself, but he doesn't want the frontier army to be hated by the Beijing soldiers, and he doesn't want the frontier army's reputation to be damaged."

So how to solve it?Then hit hard, let everyone vent their anger, beat them, start with the beating, end with the beating, and this matter will be considered over.

……

……

"Your Excellency can't take them all away." An official whispered to Master Zhu, "It's too big to involve the Beijing camp."

Zhu Zhu wanted to say something, but the people watching outside made a noise because they didn't know what happened.

"Will you fight?"

"All bets are made, hurry up!"

I wish the principal's face turned black, what's the matter!

"The people should watch it," another official said in a low voice. "If so many soldiers are taken away, rumors will spread."

Director Zhu looked at Xie Yanlai who was under the high platform. This kid had already talked with Lin Kun shoulder to shoulder. It seemed that the matter had been exposed, and he completely ignored the officials on the high platform.

"But we can't just let it go!" He said coldly, "As a frontier envoy, no matter how you say it, he cannot escape the blame and must be taken away!"

That's right, the officials stopped talking.

But someone spoke again.
