Chapter 371: Bold Ideas
If this instruction is followed, if things go well, the kingdom will have to change its monarch within two months. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć At that time, it is possible that Guo Mao, the secretary of the military department, will become the right-hand man of another monarch as a meritorious hero, but it is also possible that he will become the ghost of the new monarch.
Although he thought that he had a good understanding of the character of King Ling Zhao Teng, it was still difficult to predict how King Ling would treat him after ascending the throne.
There are countless examples of how power can change a person since ancient times.
However, if he wants to survive now, there are only two ways to go: either expose King Ling to the emperor, or strictly follow King Ling's instructions.
If he exposes King Ling to the emperor, then he is likely to lose his head after exposing it, and if he has been loyal to King Ling according to the original plan, although the worst outcome is death, at least he will die later than the previous option, and this matter can be controlled by his efforts.
So, no matter how you look at it, it is clear that choosing allegiance to the king would be more beneficial to him.
Then, let's follow King Ling's instructions, Guo Mao said to himself, while leaving his previous hesitation behind him.
But he didn't feel relieved that he had made the choice, because he knew exactly how big the challenge was ahead.
Now that the palace is full of the eyes and ears of the prince, how to bring the news to Zhang Zhaoyi?
Zhang Zhaoyi is probably going to give birth at the end of June or early July, and it may be impossible and unwise for her to leave the palace at this time. Then, Guo Mao, the secretary of the military department, can only see her in the palace. But how do you ask her to meet her?
How to deliver the message becomes a big problem.
Guo Mao couldn't figure out a way, so he simply closed his eyes and took a nap.
Maybe we'll be able to figure it out after a while.
When he arrived at Guo's mansion, Guo Mao took Liang Gongyuan back to the study.
On the way to the study, Guo Mao thought of a way, so when he entered the study, he said to Liang Gongyuan: "I have a letter to hand over to Zhang Zhaoyi's father, please go and deliver it in person." ā
Liang Gongyuan immediately understood his intentions, and nodded hurriedly: "Okay." ā
Guo Mao then wrote a letter.
After writing the letter to Zhang Zhaoyi's father, he wrote another one, and wrapped it in a small letter into the letter to Zhang Zhaoyi's father. In this way, when Zhang Zhaoyi's father read the letter he wrote to him, he understood what to do with the other letter.
Liang Gongyuan saw all this in his eyes, and couldn't help but secretly admire Guo Mao's steady work.
If you really want to compare, Guo Mao is much more thoughtful than Ling Wang Zhaoteng.
In fact, Guo Mao also has a considerable grasp of the current situation, and also maintains an excellent relationship with many officials in the capital, if he replaces King Ling on the throne......
When this bold idea came out of Liang Gongyuan's mind, Liang Gongyuan seemed to see a road that was brighter for Guo Mao than now, and he couldn't help but want to talk to Guo Mao.
Liang Gongyuan took the letter and said to Guo Mao: "My lord, an idea suddenly popped up below, and I want to talk to my lord. ā
Guo Mao has always trusted him the most, so he smiled and said, "You say it." ā
Liang Gongyuan leaned close to Guo Mao's ear and whispered.
Guo Mao's eyes and expressions changed several times in the process of listening, and after listening to Liang Gongyuan's words, he said with a serious face: "Where can I have the ability to compete with him?" Don't think about it. By the way, you must not tell anyone about this to outsiders. ā
Liang Gongyuan hurriedly said: "I know below." Then I'm going to deliver the letter first. ā
With that, Liang put the letter in his pocket and withdrew.
As soon as Liang Gongyuan left, Guo Mao immediately considered Liang Gongyuan's words.
If he followed King Ling's instructions to take the lives of the emperor and the crown prince, and then found a way to kill King Ling, wouldn't he be able to take the throne over?
This is something he has never thought about and dare not think of, but as long as it is well planned, it may not be impossible to achieve it.
Guo Mao's mind suddenly appeared the scene of him sitting on the dragon horse with his head held high and accepting the bowing of hundreds of civil and military officials, and at the same time, he thought of Queen Jingzhuang with the appearance of a captivating city.
Not only did Wang Zhaoteng think crazy about Queen Jingzhuang, but in fact, he also had that kind of fantasy about Queen Jingzhuang over the years, but he didn't dare to think about it because he knew it was unlikely.
Now, if he works hard according to Liang Gongyuan's suggestion, he may still take this beautiful woman who has captivated the country and the city for himself in the future.
Empress Jingzhuang is only in her early forties now, which is the most elegant age for women, and if she becomes his person, maybe she can have a few children for him...... Thinking of this, Guo Mao's face suddenly flushed, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth smiled.
It's a wonderful dream, isn't it? It was so beautiful that he couldn't help but be moved.
But although he is the secretary of the military department, he has no private soldiers on hand, what can he use to compete with the more than 100,000 private soldiers of Ling Wang Zhao Teng?
Thinking of this, Guo Mao couldn't help but smile again.
Or, did he first pretend to help the emperor, and through the emperor's hand, he ordered Wang Zhao Teng to be destroyed, and then took the lives of the emperor and the crown prince?
In this way, there is no need for a single soldier.
But if he wants to use the emperor's hand to kill Ling Wang Zhao Teng, he must confess to the emperor that he and Ling Wang Zhao Teng have cooperated over the years, so that he is very likely to be executed by the emperor before he takes the throne.
No, with the help of the emperor's hand, Wang Zhao Teng will not be able to go this way.
Then we can only start from the side of Ling Wang Zhao Teng.
Guo Mao held his cheeks in one hand and looked at the bright sky outside the window, and fell into deep thought.
It is not necessary to rely on the army to win a war, and people have a more important weapon - wisdom.
Because of Liang Gongyuan's reminder, Guo Mao suddenly had the idea of turning over and becoming the master.
However, he knew that he still had to rely on Ling Wang Zhao Teng at the moment, so he decided to hide this idea in his heart first and wait until the time was right.
The timing may be in the next two months.
Guo Mao smiled slightly, got up and went to the dining room.
He was a little hungry and wanted a good meal.
When Liang Gongyuan delivered the letter to Zhang Zhaoyi's father, the latter looked frightened and asked, "Did Master Guo say something?" ā
Their whole family is now under both Guo Mao's care and coercion by Guo Mao, so whenever Guo Mao has something to look for them, they panic inexplicably, fearing that it will be bad news for Zhang Zhaoyi.
"I don't know exactly what it is." Liang Gongyuan said with a smile.
Zhang's father had a good impression of Liang Gongyuan, so he accepted the letter, but he still asked uneasily: "How is Lord Guo feeling today?" ā
"Very good."
Father Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and slowly opened the letter.
