Chapter Four Hundred and Seventy-Three: Things in Qianyang Palace
Chapter 473: Things in the Yang Palace
On September 27, the 23rd year of Qianyuan, the general of Deng State, Jun Yue Fei, accepted the surrender letter from Xiang Jing, the third prince of Chu State under Guangling City, Guangling County. At this point, since the second year of Qin II, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, divided the 18 princes into the founding of Chu State. The Chu State, which had been in existence for more than 200 years, officially came to an end, and the world officially entered a three-legged situation of Deng, Zhao and Qin.
In Wancheng and Ganyang Palace, Deng Sheng held the handwritten letter sent by Yue Fei. The letter explained that Yue Fei had accepted the Chu royal family without authorization. It turned out that although Yue Fei made a quick decision to accept the Chu royal family, such an approach was destined to be unruly. Although Yue Fei also knew that Deng Sheng was a very tolerant person, Deng Sheng would not care too much as long as this matter was beneficial to Deng State, but Yue Fei still sent someone to deliver the letter as soon as possible.
"Who does this Yue Fei think of me as? Still apologize?" Deng Sheng smiled after reading Yue Fei's letter. In Deng Sheng's opinion, this was just a trivial matter. With Deng's status and strength today, accepting a small Chu royal family is nothing. As for whether there would be conflicts with Zhao because of this incident, Deng Sheng said he didn't care. Deng Guo seized Guangling County this time from Zhao's nose. In addition, in the previous several wars, Deng Zhao had no room for ease. No matter how Zhao Guo thought, Deng Sheng didn't care.
However, Deng Sheng didn't care, but it did not mean that others recognized Yue Fei's approach. Chen Qun, the Minister of Rites, came out and said: "King, I think General Yue's move is very inappropriate. Although General Yue is the general of our dynasty and the commander of the front-line army, he accepted such major events as the Chu royal family, but did not report to the king in advance and made a decision without reporting to the king. If this move is spread, what is the majesty of the king? How will the people think of the king? If other generals are on the front line in the future and they will make their own decisions when they encounter things, then I, Deng, are not the king, and I, also ask the king to punish Yue Fei!"
Chen Qun did not say that Yue Fei had done a wrong job of accepting the Chu royal family, but the problem was that Yue Fei did not send anyone back to Wancheng to report in advance, but instead made a decision without authorization and accepted it on his own initiative. This challenged Deng Sheng's majesty, and in the most serious way, it threatened Deng Sheng's royal power.
When Deng Sheng heard Chen Qun's words, he suddenly felt a little headache. He knew that such a thing would happen. How did Yue Fei say this? It is in line with national interests, but it is not conducive to national conditions. However, Deng Sheng felt that Chen Qun's last sentence was a bit heavy, and he was worried that other generals would follow suit in the future. This would be a bit serious. Not to mention whether other people have this idea. Yue Fei's prestige in the army alone is not comparable to others. Many things that Yue Fei can do, but others cannot do. In Deng's army, as long as Deng Sheng does not come forward, everything is put first. This is why Yue Fei can mobilize the Lingser Guard, Shen Ce Guard, Ying Rudao's Ying Yang Guard and Tiger Wing Guard without any edict.
Logically speaking, generals like Yue Fei who hold heavy troops and have unparalleled prestige in the army will be the ones that the kings are most wary of, but Deng Sheng is very relieved of Yue Fei. Deng Sheng, who came from later generations, knew very well that Yue Fei was famous for his loyalty and righteousness, and such people were not worthy of trust. Deng Sheng really didn't know who else is worthy of trust. Besides, taking a step back ten thousand steps, it would be useless even if Yue Fei had other thoughts. As long as Deng Sheng was in one day, as long as Deng Sheng removed Yue Fei's military power at the order, all the civil and military officials of the court would not have any opinions. As a means to pull Deng back from the brink of destruction, and to this day, it has become the biggest favorite to unify the world. Deng Sheng is very confident in his control over Deng and his prestige in Deng.
"Shangshu Chen's words are wrong!" At this time, the Minister of Personnel Kou Zhun made a list to refute Chen Qun and said: "As General Yue, as our Grand General Deng, the first commander of the military, he already has the right to make arbitrary decisions. Besides, General Yue has already stated in his letter that this matter is urgent. A little later, the Guangling County, which I, is longing for, will fall into the hands of Zhao. As the saying goes, generals are outside, and military orders are not accepted. Besides, General Yue's move is beneficial to our Grand General Deng, so how can he be punished?"
"Shangshu Kou, if he accepted only a general of Chu this time, even if he was a general of Chu, there was no problem with General Yue's move. I would even ask for credit for him in front of the king. But now he accepted the royal family of Chu. Can he be an ordinary person? The royal family of Chu has a very high prestige in Chu. If he is not careful, it will arouse the Chu people's resistance to me, Da Deng. Even if he is a king, he needs to discuss with the court officials before making a decision. However, General Yue decided lightly, this is to treat the king and the court as nothing. If such behavior is not dealt with, where is the majesty of the king and the court?" Seeing Kou Zhun refuting himself, Chen Qun was certainly not willing to be outdone.
Kou Zhun was also a violent temper. Seeing that Chen Qun dared to refute, he immediately started to fight with Chen Qun. He said and said everything, the Ganyang Palace, which was originally very harmonious, suddenly started to scatter.
Deng Sheng finally couldn't see it, so he directly slapped the desk and said loudly: "This is Ganyang Palace, not a vegetable market. What's the point of being a quarrel like a man in the market?"
Seeing Deng Sheng getting angry, Chen Qun and Kou Zhun stopped immediately, but their eyes were still staring at each other, looking very inconsistent.
Seeing that he finally calmed down, Deng Sheng asked Cui Hao: "Cui Qing, what do you think should be dealt with?"
Seeing that Deng Sheng pointed his name directly, Cui Hao bowed and replied, "Return to the king, General Yue's move is beneficial to Deng, but it is a bit unruly. The right and wrong in this article are difficult to explain for a while. However, I do not agree with holding General Yue accountable at this time. After all, our army has entered Guangling County and may fight with the Zhao army at any time. If you ask the chief commander of the army at this time, I may be shaken in the army's spirit. I think everything needs to be decided until General Yue returns to the North Korea before you can decide!"
Deng Sheng thought about it and felt that Cui Hao’s words were very reasonable. Not to mention whether Yue Fei was wrong in accepting the Chu royal family without authorization this time, it is definitely not the time to hold accountable. Now Deng’s army is on the front line and a war will break out at any time. The most important thing now is to stabilize the morale of the army. So he said: “Okay, then according to what Cui Qing said, wait until Yue Qing returns to the court before making a conclusion and sending orders. No matter who it is, without my approval, you cannot discuss the matter on the front line without authorization. Violators will be executed!”
"Here!" Everyone answered in unison.
When everyone left, Chen Qun and Kou Zhun were also hostile to each other. Although their political views were different, public quarrels were ordinary for these important officials in the court, but this time, Chen Qun and Kou Zhun seemed to have officially formed a bond.
When Jiang Wan, who was walking behind, saw this scene, she couldn't help but smiled bitterly, walked to Kou Zhun, and said, "Why are you doing this? She had a big fight with Chen Qun, and in the end both of them were scolded by the king!"
"Hmph!" Kou Zhun snorted coldly and said, "Jiang Xiang, I just can't stand the appearance of Chen Qun, a disciple of the aristocratic family. He probably forgot that he is a man of a devastated country. I really don't know where he got the courage to talk about General Yue."
Chen Qun's family was Han Chen for generations. After Deng State destroyed Han in the past, Chen Qun assisted the Deng army in stabilizing the situation in Yangdi and was valued by Deng Sheng. However, strictly speaking, Chen Qun was really a person who destroyed the country.
Seeing this, Jiang Wan was even more helpless. It had been almost twenty years since Deng State destroyed Han. Why are you talking about these clichés now?
Yue Fei, who was far away in Guangling City, didn't know that the incident of accepting the Chu royal family caused two important officials, Chen Qun and Kou Zhun, to openly fight in front of Deng Sheng in Ganyang Palace. However, even if he knew, Yue Fei would not care too much. After all, it is normal for the ministers to fight and quarrel in any country. It would be abnormal if these civil officials did not fight against each other on the day.
