It was late at night, and Zhang Yongde didn't even dare to return home, so he stayed overnight in the Crane Control Army camp by the city gate. ,ybdu,
He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He got up, walked to the front of the case, picked up a tool next to him, and gently dialed the wick of the oil lamp.
The light in the room brightened slightly, and then he took out a torn envelope, stretched out a palm, and poured out a piece of paper from the envelope. Zhang Yongde leaned under the lamp and read it carefully; there were a lot of words and the writing was smooth, indeed Wang Pu's handwriting. It was written completely in the identity of a personal acquaintance, not an order with a seal in the name of the Secret Envoy... That is to say, Zhang Yongde can completely refuse the "invitation" without carrying the accusation of disobedience.
But can it really be refused? Zhang Yongde thought over and over in his heart.
Zhang Yongde is the most famous general in front of people. He is the highest general of the Forbidden Army. His wife is the fourth daughter of Taizu, a true relative of the imperial family. But he feels that the past few years have not been so comfortable, because it is too prominent, always being stared at, and very disturbed. But fortunately he has self-knowledge, otherwise he might not be able to afford it now.
Zhao Kuangyin has escaped today, and the victory or defeat is logically divided. He should immediately understand his choice. But things are not that simple.
...When he was still in Hebei, the emperor was seriously ill, and Zhang Yongde occasionally thought about something very tempting.
The emperor prefers a kind, a strong soldier and a strong horse! In this world, the emperor has been a general for many years; and Zhang Yongde is the most senior general under the emperor! He married Taizu's biological daughter; from the relationship with Guo Wei, it is really hard to say who the pro-son-in-law and nephew (Chai Rong) are. The current emperor is seriously ill again, and his son is only a few years old.
It is impossible for Zhang Yongde to never think in that direction. Even if he didn't want to, others would help him think... For example, Emperor Chai Rong and his subordinate powerful general Zhao Kuangyin must have wondered if Zhang Yongde wanted to go further.
But the last step is the most difficult one. Countless people can't make it. People who are too profitable can easily get rid of it in one step (the losers such as Li Shouzhen and others are too many, and they are not famous for failure). Zhang Yongde pondered over and over again and thought that he had no chance and no need to be attached.
So this morning when he learned of the Tokyo Mutiny and Zhao Kuangyin's sudden disappearance, he immediately became alert and hurried to the Crane Control Army barracks to avoid disaster.
The contradiction between Zhao Kuangyin and the Queen's Party, Zhang Yongde has long been pondering back and forth. At that time, he immediately realized that he might be pushed up by Zhao Kuangyin to fight against Guo Shaobu.
There is absolutely no benefit to this kind of thing! Once Zhao Kuangyin fails, his yellow robe will not be cut and rooted? Even if he wins, everything is done by Zhao Kuangyin. He finds it difficult to sit in the upper position... The key is that the imperial city is controlled by others, and the chance of winning is not great. What if Emperor Chai Rong could stand up? The people in the imperial city were forced to invite the officials out. As the brother-in-law of the emperor, Zhang Yongde was deeply graced, how to deal with it?
Zhang Yongde thought left and right, thinking that something was decided not to belong to him, so he couldn't force it... it was too terrifying, mother, and even more dangerous and sinister than the battlefield.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yongde took his entourage to the outside of Donghua Gate and entered the imperial city alone.
...... Guo Shao breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard the news.
With the support of Zhang Yongde, the inspector in front of the palace, the Privy Council can adjust defenses calmly and divide the cavalry. Next, from the center to the forbidden military generals, who would oppose the queen's ruling? Some people may be dissatisfied, but it is just a few small characters who have no strength and cannot turn a prodigal son.
In the side hall where the minister outside the Jinxiang Hall rested, Lu Chengyong and another soldier were putting away the quilts and blankets on the ground. Guo Shao sat on the chair next to him and took a sip of tea. When he turned his head and looked out the Mingjing carved window, he saw Chaoyang emerging from the east. It was another sunny day.
At a certain moment when the news was just received, Guo Shao felt happy, but then he was overshadowed again. Now his mood can only be relaxed.
For some reason, he couldn't be happy when it was obviously worth celebrating. He fantasized about the future again, and he could foresee that there would be great power, status, wealth... but these still made him unhappy, and he was still depressed.
Fu Jinzhan's position in his heart has indeed surpassed benefits. No amount of power and money can get him out of the shadow of his heart.
This kind of shadow is not because he rebelled against the emperor; in fact, the emperor has always threatened his safety, and everything he gets depends on Fu Jinzhan...No one can hurt Guo Shao from the heart, except for her.
At this moment, the **** Cao Tai came to the door and said: "General Guo, the queen summoned."
Guo Shao hurriedly closed his mind and glanced at the armor beside him. He didn't need to wear his mind for the time being. He said: "Please lead the way."
He walked into the Jinxiang Palace with Cao Tai silently, recalling what Fu Jinzhan had done along the way, and was full of trust and favor for him; if he wants to talk about loyalty, he should be the queen.
Considering the pattern of the Zhou Dynasty for a long time in the future, the queen will play a central role. Guo Shao immediately persuaded himself to restore his sanity, proceed from the overall situation, and still maintain a relationship with the queen's monarchs and ministers...After all, there are more people who depend on him to live safely. He has a responsibility and cannot solely care about personal emotions.
This time I just passed through the main hall of Jinxiang Hall and entered the small door on the side, and I saw Fu Jinzhan. I saw her sitting in it alone.
Cao Tai waited for Guo Shao to enter, then gently closed the door. Guo Shao couldn't help but glanced back, clasped his fist and said, "The minister pays homage to the queen."
Fu Jinzhan's face was not very good this morning, and he casually said: "Sit here, I have something to discuss with you."
Guo Shaoyiyan sat down in front of her, bowing his head without looking directly at her out of etiquette. He didn't want to say those ambiguous words anymore, looking glum.
"This morning, the officials can eat." Fu Jinzhan whispered, "Will he get better?"
Hearing this, Guo Shao immediately raised his relaxed mood after a while, and said in a daze, "Is already sick like that, can I get better?"
He couldn't help thinking a bit more, if there is a fate, Chai Rong really shouldn't die now, it's just that during the Northern Expedition, he somehow fell ill in advance... But now Chai Rong couldn't let it go, and wanted to toss it up?
Guo Shao didn't know the situation and asked in detail.
"Even though I sent someone to control the emperor's palace yesterday, I couldn't help but say something angry, but I didn't want to treat him badly." Fu Jinzhan frowned, "After all, he is the emperor. But this morning he I drank the soup and medicine proactively, and said I want to drink porridge..."
Guo Shao was speechless, and said in his heart: a strong man is a strong man. He can't swallow at one breath, and dare to fight with illness and death!
Of course he can't say anything, even in front of Fu Jinzhan, the most trusted one...After all, the emperor is her husband. However, one thing is certain, such a scene has been made, and the emperor must not be called up to meet other people; otherwise, the people involved include Guo Shao, and there will be no place to die!
"What does he want to do?" Guo Shao couldn't help but asked. Even if Chai Rong was under house arrest, Guo Shao was under pressure to hear the news... The queen was under house arrest at the beginning, but is it not in power now?
Fu Jinzhan suddenly said coldly: "I want to kill him!"
Guo Shao was there.
Fu Jinzhan was pale, and said in a deep voice, "I couldn’t be ill-intentioned before, but now it’s like this. If he doesn’t die, we die! This is what I think, if I don’t feed the officials, I’m hungry like this. Looking at him is no different from murdering. On the contrary, there are many dreams in the night, and people around you always know that it was my idea. It is better to just go ahead and start quietly."
She said her shoulders were shaking slightly here. Kill the king and kill the husband! Rao Shi Fu Jinzhan is a brave woman who has seen big scenes, this kind of thing also makes her fearful!
Suddenly, she heard a soft "chuckle", and her teeth shook crisply, as if she was shaking with cold. Her voice has gone. She is not talking to Guo Shao at this time, but convincing herself: "I can't help it. He suddenly improved in spirit this morning and wants to drink porridge again... I'm so scared... , Poison him... can't poison him, I will tie him up while he is asleep, and then smother him with something! No one will know, only you know..."
She looked at Guo Shao again and said, "Everyone knows that the official is seriously ill, and he suddenly died, and everyone will think that he died of illness. Is that true?"
Guo Shao was silent.
Chai Rong is indeed a strong master, even lying in bed controlled by others, can scare women like Fu Jinzhan into such an appearance. Its aura and Jiwei can be seen.
"What should I do?" Fu Jinzhan asked again.
Guo Shao suddenly looked at her seriously and said: "Thank you the queen for trusting me so much. If it weren't for this, you wouldn't tell me such important secrets."
"It's so important that I can't believe myself. I have to discuss it with someone, so as not to be afraid of being confused and taking a wrong step, the consequences will be disastrous." Fu Jinzhan said, "I don't even believe you. Who do you believe?"
Guo Shao nodded and said: "You really have to think about it."
Fu Jinzhan stretched out his trembling hand to support his head, and said with a pale face: "If anyone knows that the official is murdered, even if we have the victory, it will be difficult for us to control the court... for a long time. No more."
Guo Shao suddenly remembered Xiao Zhou, who was insulted by painting in history, and couldn’t help saying: “The key is to be stinky for thousands of years. The world will say that the queen kills the king and her husband, and is extremely sinful... Besides, the queen really has to kill a close family member. How to live in peace?"
Fu Jinzhan was a person who should have died. Although he died, he has left a good reputation in history. Guo Shao rescued her, but forced her to where she is now. Was it good or bad for her?
He pondered for a long time, and took a deep breath: "Is there a way to avoid people in the Jinxiang Palace? The queen will take me to see the official house. Let's see what his condition is, and then we will discuss it in the long run." /
