Chapter 24 Relative

Deng Yi didn't say anything in the court, after all, not everyone was in his heart, such as Xie Yanfang.

The officials who are dedicated to him also have their own family background positions, so they will also consider their own interests...

But it doesn't matter. This is the case with the court affairs, and Deng Yi is not going to stop if he is blocked.

But Chu Zhao is different.

Chu Zhao is the queen. She is not among the court officials, but she is arrogant. Especially since the emperor is still young, she accompanied the emperor to follow the government. She spoke in the court or opposed the Grand Tutor, which has a completely different meaning.

Chu Zhao understood this truth and sighed.

"I regret that even if the tutor was unhappy yesterday, I should have broken in and met the tutor." She said, "In this way, there would be no such misunderstanding in the court today."

Deng Yi's expression did not change at all, and he said, "Since the Empress has an idea, there is no difference between yesterday and today."

Chu Zhao said, "Don't worry, let's sit down and talk." As he said that, he sat down first and poured tea, "Tao Fu, thank you for your hard work in the morning, drink some tea first."

They have had disputes over the past year, but no matter how quarrels are, they can sit down and talk calmly.

Deng Yi did not speak, and sat down and took the tea handed over by Chu Zhao.

"I will talk about my selfishness first. Xie Yan came, I really want him to reward him. He is a good seedling who is brave and good at fighting." Chu Zhao said, and when he said this, he changed his mind, "But he is indeed a bad personal morality."

Deng Yi glanced at her.

"He was awarded for Uncle Zhong and Zhong Changrong." Chu Zhao did not avoid Deng Yi's sight and continued, "He is brave, but his personal morality is not cultivated. He is also a child of the Xie family. Such a person is easy to use and control. You also know that Zhong Changrong is not as famous as my father and his talents. I help him to take charge of the border army as the queen, but he, as the head coach, is not easy."

This is a fact. Deng Yi had known before that it was not so easy to be the head coach of the border army. He did not agree with Chu Zhao's candidate.

But Chu Zhao couldn't let go of his mouth.

Deng Yi also understood that this girl turned the border army into her own private property, ran to fight for her destiny and would never let go.

Just like Long Weijun who is still holding her hands now.

The Longwei Army was originally unruly and was a private soldier of the late emperor and Chu Ku. The late emperor and Chu Ku were no longer there, and the Longwei Army should be disbanded, but Chu Zhao not only did not disband, but also expanded his troops privately.

"I am not expanding my troops, but making up for it. In recent years, things have been happening. The Longwei Army left by the late emperor has been more than half of it. It is because of the Longwei Army that protects Your Majesty. Now the King of Xiliang is eyeing him, and the King of Zhongshan is not upright. Before His Majesty grows up, he will still let them keep the late emperor as he is. The spirit of the late emperor in heaven will be at ease to learn it."

Deng Yi just heard these words. To put it bluntly, it was not just greedy for power. She started her business with the Long Wei army, which was also her supporter.

Everyone in the world has selfish intentions, and those who sit in this imperial city will become even bigger and bigger.

This is inevitable. Deng Yi is not demanding. She calmed down her selfish plan in the border army. Deng Yi's face was a little slow, and he sipped tea and asked, "So it is naturally the empress's selfishness to stop Liang Qiang from being promoted?"

That was indeed selfish, Chu Zhao nodded.

Deng Yi said: "What you had with Liang back then was nothing. It was just Xie's reason. Liang knew in his heart. Even if he didn't know, you are the queen now. If you were kind to them, how could they resent? The one they really resented was Xie."

Deng Yi put down the teacup and knocked on the table.

"If the queen is for selfishness, she should support Liang."

In this case, the queen would have a helper to restrain Xie. Chu Zhao understood what Deng Yi meant and smiled bitterly in her heart. Her selfishness was not this selfishness, and she could not express her selfishness.

"I understand." She nodded, with a sincere look on her face, "I remember it in my heart, but this time it's fine. Now that the border war is important, the soldiers and generals are used to it. Don't change. After winning the game, I will reward Liang Qiang and his son with merits. I will definitely stand up and refute the Taifu-"

Smile at this point.

"There are too few refutations to the Taifu, please give the Taifu three more rewards."

In the past, Deng Yi would laugh when she said whispers, but this time Deng Yi did not, just looked at Chu Zhao with a calm expression.

"The change is for the victory." He said, "The queen may not know that the three guards surrounding Luocheng Guards were all from Xie's family. Just waiting for Xie Yan to come to the seal, the entire western front will be under the control of Xie's family."

Chu Zhao was stunned. She did not know, but she smiled bitterly again, and she couldn't say she didn't know.

She knew that Xie's family was not simple. Although they looked very quiet, who was Xie's family? The people who became emperors in their previous life were not as good as they wanted, so they rebelled directly.

"Actually, when I went to the border county to meet my father, before I met Lord Deng, I had already met Mr. Xie's third son wrote to my father." She said softly, "So you can imagine that the Xie family had already operated the border county long before the war, but-"

Chu Zhao looked at Deng Yi.

"No matter what, the war is stable now, border counties are stable, border troops are victorious one after another, Taifu, just wait a little longer-"

Deng Yi slapped the teacup in his hand: "Queen, don't be confused, you must not wait for this matter."

He stood up.

"You grew up in the army with your father. You know very well what the war means to the generals!"

"Although war is a disaster for the people, displacement, and a disaster for the generals who make a living by fighting, it means opportunities and merits."

"The court, you and me, and the people all look forward to winning the victory soon and ending the war, but if you dig out the hearts of more than half of the officials and generals of the border army, you will see that they do not expect it, and even hope to fight longer, because this can bring more credit, promotion, and wealth-"

When he heard this, Chu Zhao also threw the teacup heavily on the table, stood up, and shouted: "You are talking nonsense!"

The hall was like a burst of firecrackers. Xiaoman, who was originally standing beside him, tightened his body in an instant, as if he had arrived in front of the formation.

The officials who retreated outside the hall also heard the sudden movement, the male voice raised and the female voice scolded.

The quarrel started!

Officials looked at each other.

......

......

Deng Yi looked at the girl standing in front of her, and her eyebrows were full of anger. This was the first time she saw this anger.

"I have been in the army since I was a child, so I have always known that civil officials have disdain and slandered military generals. The biggest malice is that military generals are warlike and greedy for merit." Chu Zhao said with a grief in his eyes, "But, how can you say that, Grand Tutor?"

His words did hurt her just now. Deng Yi lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Because I am a villain, I guess others with malicious intentions."

"The soldiers sacrificed their lives outside to defend their country. They live today and die tomorrow. Who doesn't want to live? Who doesn't want to end the war as soon as possible?" Chu Zhao gritted his teeth, "Their credit was exchanged for their lives, not for you to stand in the court and use malicious intentions."

"I'm not talking about the soldiers." Deng Yi said, "I'm talking about some generals, officials and soldiers, which are different."

Chu Zhao looked at him: "But at this time, the officers and soldiers are united and it is difficult to choose. You cannot disrupt the entire battle just because of some officials and some people's selfish thoughts."

Deng Yi looked at her: "Lucheng Guard can be kept unmoved."

Is this his compromise? Is it an apology for what he said just now? Chu Zhao looked at him and asked, "What?"

Deng Yi said: "Liang Qiang must be rewarded, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public, and people will speculate that the queen is causing trouble."

Chu Zhao smiled and nodded: "Thank you, the Grand Tutor, for thinking about me."

She used to be playful, but this was the first time she was sarcastic, and Deng Yi looked at her muffled.

Chu Zhao said again: "Since that's the case, in order not to make people speculate that you are selfish, Xie Yan must also come here to reward him."

Deng Yi said coldly: "I'm going to order someone to discuss this."

Chu Zhao looked at him: "I'm sorry, I'll leave." After that, he walked out.

Xiaoman hurriedly followed, went to the door first, and opened the palace gate.

Chu Zhao strode away.

Deng Yi stood in the hall and said silently until the officials outside came in and called the Grand Tutor carefully.

Deng Yi didn't look at them, and looked at the table. The teacup thrown by the girl fell and the tea flowed all over the floor.

"Carry it out," he said.

......

......

The queen suddenly spoke in the court, and the grand tutor and the queen quarreled in the hall, overturned the table and smashed the teacup and vase. It was said that the house was messy, and it was even more exaggerated that the grand tutor and the queen had started fighting - all kinds of news flew out like wind.

Of course, the people still don’t know about the court affairs, but the discussions were heard in the deep houses of the aristocratic families.

Xie Yanfang sat in front of the chessboard and smiled, saying, "At this moment, I should immediately report to reject your reward, indicating that we, Xie Yanlai, are only dedicated to serving the country and the people, have little talent and virtue. In this way, we have achieved the humble reputation of our Xie family."

Sitting on the railing of the pavilion, Xie Yan, whose legs were almost hanging to the water, sneered at the fish in the pool.

"But." Xie Yanfang said, dropping a chess piece, without a smile in her eyes, "Why should we be humble and avoiding it? Is it because your surname is Xie, so we cannot reward it, and Liang Qiang has to reward it because of his surname Liang? It's ridiculous-"

"Okay." Xie Yanlai turned his head, interrupted him, and said coldly, "Just say directly, what should I do."

Xie Yanfang looked at him and said, "Go and make trouble, go and ask, let everyone know that it is you, and it is our Xie family who forced the queen."
