Chapter 252: Very Simple Truth
It was late at night, and Zhang Yongde didn't even dare to go home, so he stayed overnight in the military camp of the Crane Control Army by the city gate.
He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. So he got up in his clothes, walked to the desk, picked up a tool next to him, and gently flicked the wick of the oil lamp.
The light in the room lit up slightly, and then he pulled out a torn envelope, stretched out a palm, and poured a piece of paper out of the envelope. Zhang Yongde leaned under the lamp and read it carefully; There are a lot of words, and the writing is very smooth, and it is indeed Wang Pu's handwriting. It was written entirely in the capacity of a personal person, not in the name of a privy envoy with a seal...... In other words, Ming Zhang Yongde can completely refuse the "invitation" without being accused of disobedience.
But is it really possible to refuse? Zhang Yongde thought over and over again in his heart.
Zhang Yongde is infinitely beautiful in front of people, he is the most senior general of the forbidden army, and his wife is the fourth daughter of Taizu, a real relative of the emperor. But he feels that in recent years, he has not been so comfortable, because he is too prominent, he is always stared at, and he is very uneasy. But fortunately, he is self-aware, otherwise he may not be able to afford it now.
Today, Zhao Kuangyin has fled, and it stands to reason that the victory and defeat have been divided, and he should immediately understand his choice. But it's not that simple.
…… When he was still in Hebei, the emperor was seriously ill, and Zhang Yongde occasionally thought of something very tempting.
The Son of Heaven would rather have a kind, and the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong! In this world, the emperor has been a military general for many years; And Zhang Yongde is the highest-ranking military general under the emperor! He married Taizu's own daughter; From the relationship with Guo Wei, it is really difficult to say who is close to his son-in-law and his wife and nephew (Chai Rong). Now the 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 doesn't want to, others will help him think about it...... For example, Emperor Chai Rong and his subordinate general Zhao Kuangyin must have wondered if Zhang Yongde wanted to go further.
But the last step is the most difficult step, countless people can't step up, and people who are too greedy are easy to step on the catastrophe in one step (there are too many losers such as Li Shouzhen and others, and if they fail, they will not be famous). Zhang Yongde pondered it repeatedly, thinking that he had no chance, and there was no need to be persistent.
So this morning, when he learned of the Tokyo Mutiny and Zhao Kuangyin's sudden disappearance, he immediately became alert and hurried to the military camp of the Crane Control Army to avoid trouble.
The contradiction between Zhao Kuangyin and the queen's party, Zhang Yongde has long pondered back and forth. At that time, he immediately realized that he might be pushed up by Zhao Kuangyin to confront Guo Shaobu.
There is nothing good in this kind of thing! Once Zhao Kuangyin fails, will his yellow robe not be cut and eradicated? Even if he wins, everything is done by Zhao Kuangyin, and he feels that it is difficult to sit in the position above...... The point is that the imperial city is controlled by others, and the chances of winning are not great. And what if Emperor Chai Rong can still stand up? forced the people in the imperial city to invite the official family out, Zhang Yongde, as the emperor's brother-in-law, was deeply blessed by the saint, how to face it?
Zhang Yongde thought about it and thought that there were some things that did not belong to him and could not be forced...... It's really terrifying, a sinister place that is more dangerous than the battle array, the sword mountain and the sea of fire.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yongde came to Donghua Gate with his entourage and entered the imperial city alone.
……
In a palace room behind the Jinxiang Palace, Fu Jinzhan had just had breakfast, she had a bad appetite for a while, she only drank two mouthfuls of porridge in the morning, so she took a cup of warm water from the palace maid's hand, drank a sip and left it in her mouth for a while, and gently spit it back after rinsing her mouth.
The person next to him hurriedly put the tea and snacks on the table. Fu Jinzhan ignored them, her complexion was not very good, and she slept very comfortably last night. This Jinxiang Hall was not originally a living place in the imperial city, but it was necessary to go north through the Xuanyou Gate, which was called "Da Nei" and was the daily living place of the emperor and the people of the harem. The queen wants to live in the Jinxiang Palace, and the people in the palace temporarily move the bed and supplies, which is always not so convenient in a hurry.
The sun had just risen outside, and the sunlight was shining through the window, and it was indeed a mirror at this time, and Fu Marigold's smooth face was glowing with the streamer of the morning light.
She was without makeup, in no mood for any makeup, and even had a hairpin on her head and no other ornaments; She wears a plain skirt. This morning's outfit didn't look like a queen at all.
But the plain dress did not affect her gorgeous beauty at all, but because the skirt was more fitting and tight, it did not cover her figure like a dress, showing her figure. The upright posture, the high chest, the soft and tight waist, the full and tight hips and thighs are stretched up by the fabric of the skirt while sitting, forming a very beautiful and elastic line. She is indeed the most seductive when she sits, and her temperament is dignified; This pose reveals the wonderful shape of her hips and hips.
But no one is watching here. She didn't pay much attention to herself, and still sat there touching her aching wrist.
She lifted her sleeves and saw that several fingerprints were still blue. She frowned and subconsciously touched the scar on her forehead, recalling the days of fear in the past few years, and the expression on her face became even more worried.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Cao Tai walking in in a hurry, and he immediately spoke: "Niangniang, the official family just spoke, I want to see the minister to pass on the edict!" ”
After hearing this, Fu Jinzhan accidentally touched the teacup on the table and almost knocked it over.
"How can I return to the will of the officials?" Cao Tai asked cautiously.
Obviously, the emperor can't be called to see the minister! Otherwise, if he said something unfavorable in front of the minister, wouldn't he be asking for trouble? Fu Jinzhan pondered for a moment, got up and said coldly: "I'll go to see him, just let him tell me any edict." ”
"Whoa." Cao Tai responded.
Fu Jinzhan walked towards the door, turned around and said: "You send someone to watch over there at Xuanyou Gate, if the concubine of the Great Inner asks to see the official family, you ask someone to report to me quickly." ”
Cao Tai bowed and said: "The army only entered the city from Xihua Gate yesterday, and the people in the palace are now panicking, and I am afraid that they will not dare to come out for the time being." ”
Fu Jinzhan nodded after hearing this, and gently raised his foot and stepped out of the threshold.
When it came to the emperor's bedroom, the light was not as bright as the houses outside, and the place was very closed. But it wasn't chosen by someone else for Chai Rong, the place he chose when he could still be the master before, it is estimated that the reason why there is only one entrance here, and even the window has only a small lighting is not good.
Fu Jinzhan walked up to the emperor, only to see that his eyes were open, and he was not moaning and panting in pain as before, as if his spirit was much better. Seeing this, Fu Jinzhan felt nervous for a while, could it be that his illness was improving? If the emperor's condition improves, then things will really be difficult to handle! Of course, he can't be let out, otherwise from the court to the civil and military, many people will die.
Fu Jinzhan remained silent, raised his hand and waved it lightly, and retreated left and right. She stood far away and said softly: "Official, you should understand that I can't let you see the minister. ”
The emperor sighed "sighing", and actually said, "Then I...... See the teachings. ”
Although his speech was still very weak, his speech became clearer, and Fu Jinzhan suddenly panicked a little. She sighed and said, "Zong Xun is just a child, he doesn't understand anything. If you have anything to say, tell me. ”
"I and you, and ...... Good to say? The Emperor said.
Fu Jinzhan was angry when she heard this, but she didn't have a seizure.
The emperor said weakly, "My time is short, and I ...... in the end See Vinaya. After a moment of not hearing a response, he tilted his head slightly, opened his eyes wide, and said, "You guys...... To usurp the throne......"
Fu Jinzhan laughed angrily and sneered: "Who else can blame the situation left by the official family?" Do you really believe in that wooden sign 'Female Fu Dai Wang', and how did Brother Shao usurp the throne and the people of the world obey him? However, Zhao Kuangyin, who has always been relied on by the official family, can really establish himself as the emperor if he succeeds.
I'm afraid that the official family also knows in their hearts that only if I support Zongxun to inherit the unification, can I continue the country; Otherwise, you'd have killed me long ago! Now that you've got it, do you have a choice? ”
"**......" The emperor only scolded, and he didn't have the strength to scold anything else.
Fu Jinzhan turned blue and white for a while, and said: "To tell you the truth, I am still innocent, only you think of me so badly!" ”
The Emperor snorted, with a sneering tone. Fu Jinzhan said: "Don't believe it...... A few years ago, in Li Shouzhen's mansion, the door was destroyed before the cave house was opened; Later, according to Zhou Taizu's intentions, what happened after remarrying, I shouldn't need to talk about it. ”
She couldn't accept the emperor's insults anymore, so she said coldly: "Do the officials think that I am a person who doesn't miss the old feelings at all? Li Shouzhen's son is my ex-husband, and Zhou Taizu is my husband-killing enemy? ”
Fu Jinzhan deliberately paused for a moment, waiting for him to have time to think, and then continued: "I recognize the murderer of my husband and enemy as my father-in-law, and I remarry the enemy. But think about it, the two years I just married you, how did I treat Taizu and the official family! Don't you think it's weird? I didn't have any resentment against Taizu and the official family in my heart...... That's because Li Chongxun and I have no husband and wife, and there is no husband and wife relationship, how can I resentment Taizu? ”
"Huh?" Chai Rong suddenly changed color.
In a few words, Fu Jinzhan persuaded 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 in eight points, and suddenly felt that she had finally breathed a sigh of resentment after many years.
Seeing this, she still didn't let Chai Rong go, and said coldly: "Such a simple truth, the official family can understand it as long as they work a little hard." But after so many years, such a smart person from the official family still doesn't understand, because in your heart there is only the world at all, and there is no wife like me; I don't care much to you, and you can't even put a little thought into me! ”
Chai Rong suddenly stretched out his hand from the quilt to Fu Jinzhan.
Fu Jinzhan hurriedly took two steps back, even farther away from him, but asked again: "Does the official family regret it?" Chai Rong was helpless and silent.
Fu Jinzhan said: "It's too late to regret it now!" Do you know why I made up the groom? ”
Chai Rong didn't answer, neither nodded nor shook his head, as if he was reminiscing about the past.
