It was late at night, and Zhang Yongde didn't even dare to go back to his home, so he stayed overnight in the camp of the Crane Control Army next to the city gate.
He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.Then he got up with his clothes, walked to the desk, picked up a tool next to him and gently tweaked the wick of the oil lamp.
The light in the room lit up 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 came to the lamp and read it carefully again; the words were numerous and the writing was very smooth, which was indeed Wang Pu's handwriting.
It was written entirely as a private friend, not in the name of the Privy Councilor to order with seals... which means that Zhang Yongde could completely refuse the invitation without having to bear the accusation of disobedience.
But can I really refuse?Zhang Yongde thought to himself over and over again.
Zhang Yongde was in full bloom in front of others. He was the highest general of the imperial guards. His wife was Taizu's fourth daughter and a true royal relative.
But he felt that he had not been so comfortable in recent years because he was too prominent and was always stared at by others and felt very uneasy.
Fortunately, he is self-aware, otherwise he might not be able to afford it now.
Today, Zhao Kuangyin has escaped. It is reasonable that victory or defeat has been decided, and 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 would rather have a genital and strong army than do it!
In this world, the emperor has been a military general for many years; and Zhang Yongde is the most advanced military general under the emperor!
He married Taizu's biological daughter; from the relationship with Guo Wei, it is really hard to say who is close to his wife and nephew (Chai Rong).
The emperor is seriously ill again, and his son is only a few years old.
It is impossible for Zhang Yongde to never think about that aspect.
Even if he doesn't want to, others will help him think... For example, Emperor Chai Rong and his powerful general Zhao Kuangyin must have thought about whether Zhang Yongde wants to go further.
But the last step is the most difficult step, and countless people can't take it. People who are too greedy will easily miss the opportunity and doom (there are too many losers such as Li Shouzhen and others, and they will not be famous if they fail).
Zhang Yongde thought about it repeatedly, thinking that he had no chance and there was no need to be persistent.
So this morning when he learned about the Tokyo Mutiny and Zhao Kuangyin suddenly disappeared, he immediately became alert and rushed to the camp of the Crane Army to avoid disaster.
Zhang Yongde had long thought about the conflict between Zhao Kuangyin and the Empress Party.At that time, he immediately realized that he might have been pushed up by Zhao Kuangyin to confront Guo Shao's troops.
This kind of thing has no benefit at all!
Once Zhao Kuangyin fails, will he not be eradicated if he puts on his yellow robe?
Even if he wins, everything is done by Zhao Kuangyin. He feels that the position above is difficult to sit in... The key is that the imperial city is controlled by others and the chance of winning is not great.
And what if Emperor Chai Rong can still stand up?
I was forced to invite the officials out of the imperial city. As the emperor's brother-in-law, Zhang Yongde was deeply grateful to the holy people. How did he face it?
Zhang Yongde thought about it and thought that some things did not belong to him and could not force them... It was so fucking scary, even more dangerous and dangerous than the battle formation.
The next morning, Zhang Yongde brought his entourage to the outside of Donghua Gate and entered the imperial city alone.
……
In a palace room behind Jinxiang Palace, Fu Jinzhan had just had breakfast. She had a bad appetite for a while. She only drank two sips of porridge in the morning, then took a cup of warm water from the palace maid, took a sip and left it in her mouth for a while, and rinsed it gently and vomited it back.
The people next to him quickly put the tea and snacks on it.
Fu Jinzhan ignored them. She looked bad and she didn't sleep well last night.
This Jinxiang Hall is not the place to live in the imperial city. You have to go north to pass Xuanyou Gate, which is called Da Nei. It is the daily living place for the emperor and the people in the harem.
The queen wanted to live in Jinxiang Hall, and the people in the palace brought beds and supplies temporarily, which was always not so convenient in a hurry.
The sun just rose outside, and the sunlight shone through the window. It was indeed very clear at this time, and Fu Jinzhan's smooth face was filled with the flowing light of the morning light.
She had a bare face and was in a mood to dress up. She even had a hairpin and no other accessories on her head; she was wearing a plain robe skirt.I didn't look like a queen this morning.
But the plain dress did not affect her gorgeous beauty at all. Instead, because the skirt is more fit and tight, it does not cover up her figure like a dress, which shows her figure.
The upright posture, the high breasts, the soft and tight waist, and the plump and tight hips and thighs stretch out the fabric of the skirt while sitting, forming beautiful and elastic lines.
She was indeed the most attractive when she sat, with a dignified temperament; this posture could reveal the wonderful shaped outline of her hips and buttocks.
But no one is watching here.She didn't pay much attention to it, and she was still sitting there touching her vaguely painful wrist.
She lifted her sleeves and saw that several fingerprints were still green.She frowned and subconsciously touched the scar on her forehead. Looking back on the years of fear, the expression on her face became even more unpredictable.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Cao Tai walking in hurriedly, and he immediately spoke: Empress, the official family has just spoken and wants to see the minister pass on his will!
After hearing this, Fu Jinzhan accidentally touched the teacup on the table and almost flipped it.
How should I report to the official’s will?Cao Tai asked carefully.
Obviously, the emperor cannot be asked to meet the minister!
Otherwise, if he says something unfavorable in front of the minister, wouldn’t he cause trouble?
Fu Jinzhan pondered for a moment, stood up and said coldly: I'll go see him, just tell me any will he has.
Look.Cao Tai replied.
Fu Jinzhan walked towards the door and turned around and said: You send someone to watch the Xuanyou Sect. If the concubines in Dawen ask to see the official family, please tell me to report to me quickly.
Cao Tai bowed and said: The army just entered the city from Xihua Gate yesterday. The palace people in the neighboring country are now in panic and may not have the courage to come out for the time being.
After hearing this, Fu Jinzhan nodded and gently raised her foot and stepped out of the threshold.
When it reached the emperor's bedroom, the light was not as clear as the houses outside, and this place was very closed.
But it was not chosen by Chai Rong by others. He chose the place he chose when he was able to make decisions before. It was probably because he was attracted by the fact that there was only one entrance here, and even the window had only a small light.
Fu Jinzhan walked to the emperor and saw that he was open with his eyes open, and he was not moaning and gasping in pain like before, as if he was much better.
Fu Jinzhan felt nervous when she saw this. Could it be that his illness is getting better?
If the emperor's condition improves, then things will be really hard to deal with!
Of course, he can't be let go, otherwise many people will die from the palace to civil and military affairs.
Fu Jinzhan remained silent, raised her hand and waved her lightly, and stepped back from her left and right.She stood far away and said softly: Official, you should understand that I cannot let you meet the minister.
The emperor sighed alas, and actually said: Then I... see Zong Xun.
Although he was still very weak in his speech, his mouth became clearer, and Fu Jinzhan suddenly felt a little panicked.She calmly said: Zongxun is just a child and doesn't know anything.If you have something to say, let me know.
I and you, and there is something easy to say?The emperor said.
Fu Jinzhan was very angry after hearing this, but she didn't have an attack.
The emperor said weakly again: I have not had much time, and finally... I see Zong Xun.After a while, he didn't hear a response. He turned his head gently and opened his eyes wide and said, "You... want to usurp my throne..."
Fu Jinzhan laughed anxiously and sneered: Who else can you blame for this situation left by the official?Do you really believe in that wooden sign "Female Fu Dai King"? How could Brother Shao usurp the throne? Will the people in the world obey him?However, Zhao Kuangyin, who has always relied on the government, could really become an emperor if he succeeded.
I'm afraid the officials also know that only if I support the Zongxun and inherit the throne, can I continue the country; otherwise, you might have killed me long ago!Now that things have come to this, do you have any choice?
The slut... The emperor only cursed and had no strength to curse other words.
Fu Jinzhan's face turned pale and said: To be honest, I am still innocent, and only you think of me so badly!
The emperor snorted, with a sneering tone.
Fu Jinzhan said: Don’t believe it… I don’t need to say anything about Li Shouzhen’s mansion a few years ago when he was in Li Shouzhen’s mansion before he even had a bridal chamber. Later, according to the intention of Zhou Taizu, I should not have to say anything about the remarriage.
She could no longer accept the emperor's insults, so she said coldly: Do the official think I am a person who is completely unrequited to the old love?Is Li Shouzhen's son my ex-husband? Is Zhou Taizu my husband my enemy?
Fu Jinzhan deliberately paused for a moment, and then continued to say: I admit that I killed my husband and the enemy was my foster father, and remarried my enemy.But the official family think about it, what I have treated Taizu and the official family in the past two years I just married you!Don't you find it strange?I had no resentment towards Taizu and the government in my heart... That's because Li Chongxun and I have no real or affection, so how can we resent Taizu?
Huh?Chai Rong suddenly changed color.
After a few words, Fu Jinzhan convinced him that she was originally a smart person.
At this time, she paid attention to Chai Rong's expression and knew that he had believed it eighty times. She suddenly felt that she had finally felt resentment over the years.
Seeing this, she still did not let Chai Rong go, and said coldly: The government can understand such a simple truth with a little effort.But after so many years, the smart people in the official family still don’t understand, because in your heart there is only the world, and I don’t have my wife; I am insignificant to you, and you can’t even give up your thoughts on me!
Chai Rong suddenly stretched his hand towards Fu Jinzhang from the quilt.
Fu Jinzhan hurriedly took two steps back and stayed away from him even further, but then asked: Do you regret it?Chai Rong refused to speak helplessly.
Fu Jinzhan said: It’s too late to regret it now!Do you know why I made up the groom?
Chai Rong did not answer, neither nodded nor shook his head, as if he was recalling the past.
He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.Then he got up with his clothes, walked to the desk, picked up a tool next to him and gently tweaked the wick of the oil lamp.
The light in the room lit up slightly, and then he took out a torn envelope, stretched out a palm and poured out a piece of paper from the envelope.
