Chapter 373: A Grim Moment
"She dared to negotiate terms with me!" After reading this letter, Guo Mao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was angry and appreciative, and said to Liang Gongyuan with a strained face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Liang Gongyuan hurriedly asked: "What conditions did she propose?" ”
"They said they were going to postpone the implementation of the plan until July 20, and they said that we had to listen to her this time, otherwise she would come against us." Guo Mao said, stretched out his hand to support his forehead.
It's only the beginning of June, and there is still more than a month to go until July 20, so the wait is too long.
However, now is indeed a period when Zhang Zhaoyi is incapacitated, and it is not only very difficult for her to carry out this task during this time period, but also great psychological pressure.
However, it is not impossible if she wants to.
Well, obviously, she was reluctant to accept the task, so she deliberately stalled for time.
"It's not up to her to decide." Guo Mao, the secretary of the military department, said with a serious face.
July 20 is too far away, and it will be troublesome if anything happens in the meantime. What's more, he was also worried that if Wang Zhao Teng waited too long, he would blame him.
Liang Gongyuan could see Guo Mao's worries, so he was relieved: "It is indeed a bit late to set the date for July 20, but it is just right to give her enough time to prepare, so that she will be able to implement it much more thoroughly and smoothly at that time." ”
Then Liang Gongyuan said: "Anyway, didn't King Ling say that as long as it is implemented before the end of August?" It can be seen that King Ling also hopes that we will be more prepared. ”
Guo Mao hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
Well, let's wait until she gives birth.
At that time, when the child is born, she will have no reason to shirk. And he wouldn't allow her to postpone it any longer.
So Guo Mao's side still replied to Zhang Zhaoyi through Zhang's father according to the original method.
After reading the letter, Zhang Zhaoyi put it on the stove and burned it.
Then, without saying a word, she looked out the window.
Can she handle that plan when it comes time to implement it?
Her hands couldn't help but tremble.
No, she didn't want him to die, she didn't want her child to be born without a father, and she didn't want to see a fight for the throne.
If she did do it, then she would have become a sinner for the ages, and her children would not forgive her if they learned about it in the future. Not only will her children not forgive her, but she herself will not forgive herself, and the people of the country will not forgive her.
However, she had no way to resist Guo Mao and Guo Mao's mastermind.
What should she do?
Is there any other way to save her and the emperor's lives at the same time?
She couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds for a long time.
Tears rolled down her cheeks, both for the emperor, and for herself and the child in her womb.
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have been misled by them in the first place." She muttered.
But there is no regret medicine in this world.
Her own mistakes had to be solved by herself.
Although it was hot summer, Zhang Zhaoyi felt chills all over her body, and she closed her eyes in pain.
Do you want to discuss it with the imperial concubine? She asked herself.
She then vetoed.
No, you can't consult with the imperial concubine.
Now that Zhao Yuxun, the king of Jin, has come out, all the thoughts of the imperial concubine are on this son, and she will no longer be needed. She went to tell the imperial concubine now that these things were likely to lead to death sooner.
Therefore, it is better for her to break this thought.
As for Queen Jingzhuang's side, it can't be revealed in any way.
There was no one to confide in, and no one could ask for help, and it was up to her to decide and do it herself.
When she thought that the emperor would die at her hands on July 20, her heart hurt as if she had been cut by a knife, and she finally couldn't help crying.
Shen Hu said to her outside the door at this time: "Zhaoyi, Your Majesty is here." ”
Ah, here he comes.
Zhang Zhaoyi was suddenly nervous for no reason, and hurriedly said, "Got it, come in and help me put on my makeup." ”
Shen Hu immediately pushed open the door and came in, picked up a comb and skillfully helped her comb her hair.
Just combed his hair here, and the emperor had already walked in.
As soon as the emperor entered the door, he looked at her, and then looked around the room, and said, "Why don't you open the window wider on such a hot day?" ”
There was a hot breath in the room, which was strangely uncomfortable.
Zhang Zhaoyi hurriedly glanced at Shen Hu, Shen Hun understood, and hurriedly opened the half-open windows.
Suddenly, a fresh breeze blew in.
The emperor walked to Zhang Zhaoyi's side, stretched out his hand to take Zhang Zhaoyi's hand and asked, "Why are your eyes red?" But what's on your mind? ”
Zhang Zhaoyi hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no." ”
"Then why are you crying?" The emperor asked puzzled.
He didn't come to see her, he just happened to be passing by.
But he did want to take a look at her, otherwise he wouldn't have squeezed time out of his busy schedule to walk in.
Zhang Zhaoyi said embarrassedly: "The concubine just remembered something, and she was very emotional. He also said: "It has been more than a year since the concubine entered the palace, and Your Majesty has always been so good to the concubine, and the concubine is very grateful." Being a woman who can be Your Majesty is a blessing that the concubine has cultivated for several generations, and the concubine is very content. ”
The emperor reached out and stroked her head and said, "You are too sensitive. Can you still walk? ”
"Yes."
"Let's go for a walk in the garden, it's just right for the sun to go west." The emperor proposed.
Zhang Zhaoyi nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, the concubine will go now, does Your Majesty want to be together?" ”
"I still have something to do." The emperor said. With that, he left.
Looking at his tall and straight back, tears once again unconsciously covered Zhang Zhaoyi's face.
If the emperor really dies at her hands at that time, then she will think about her own survival.
How will Guo Mao and the people behind Guo Mao treat her at that time? Even if they won't kill her, what kind of psychological pressure will she carry to survive?
If there is no emperor, who else can she rely on in this world?
I'm afraid there is no one to rely on for her safety but herself.
She suddenly realized that as a monarch, although the emperor also has a lot of shortcomings, in general, he can be regarded as a bright monarch.
Such a person really doesn't deserve such an end.
Besides, he treated her so well, how painful and disappointed should he be when he knew that she had killed him?
No, I must find a way not to let him die, Zhang Zhaoyi said to herself.
She slowly got up from her seat, walked to the window and stood against it, looking at the sun above her and thinking silently.
She may not think of a solution for a while, but she will continue to think about it, and keep thinking about it until she comes up with a feasible solution.
She closed her eyes in deep thought in the scorching sun while slowly sitting down against the Luohan bed.
Shen Hu looked at her behind her for a long time, and finally couldn't help but step forward and say, "Zhaoyi, if Lord Guo's instructions really make you feel embarrassed, it's better to make a false impression when the time comes." ”
Make an illusion?
Zhang Zhaoyi opened her eyes suddenly.
