Chapter 119: Fight Back
"Sister, what are you talking about after saying so much???" After Zhang Rang and Zhang Shuang left, He Jin and He Miao walked out of the screen behind the main hall.
It turned out that the two had been hiding behind and listening to the situation.
He Jin originally wanted to ask Queen He to take action and get rid of Zhang Shuang. As a result, I heard a lot of praise and a lot of words without nutrition, which was naturally very unpleasant.
"I don't understand either." He Miao said honestly.
"What do you know besides eating, drinking, and being merry?" Successfully knocked Zhang Shuang, Queen He was in a good mood, but after hearing the words of these two guys, she was angry and scolded.
"Hmph." He Jin originally came to beg, but he decided that Queen He didn't help, and he was scolded again, and he couldn't hold his face for a while, and finally couldn't help but snort coldly and walked away.
"Wine bag rice bag." Empress He was not relieved, nor did she stop it, and said coldly.
"Sister." He Miao was overjoyed when she saw this, salivating, and planned to ask the reason.
"It's hot, you want to bathe, you go down." Empress He was arbitrary and had no interest in explaining, so she sent away.
"No."
He Miao said yes and left.
Empress He loves to bathe, and in the Changqiu Palace, there is hot water supply all day long. Soon after, the eunuchs and palace maids prepared everything, and Empress He took off her heavy queen clothes, revealing snow-white skin, and sank into the bathtub.
The petals are sprinkled, and the fragrance is fragrant. I don't know if it's the queen's body fragrance, but the petal fragrance.
"That's it, two more times, and let him surrender." Empress He's eyebrows were just sheng, and then he smoothed it out and began to sink into the water and enjoy the bath.
At this moment, Queen He is like a gentle woman, and she doesn't see rigidity.
…………
On the other side, Zhang Rang and Zhang Shuang walked out of Changqiu Palace together, glanced at each other, and saw impatience in each other's eyes. and anger from the depths.
"Do you see what she means?" Zhang asked to look left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he asked.
"The queen drove Zhang Gong to serve tea. It's taking things again. And Zhang Gong, you call for wind and rain, and you are all hands and eyes in the inner and outer courts. This is telling me that the queen pinching me is as simple as pinching an ant, and she can pinch me to death if she wants to. ”
Zhang Shuang said in a low voice.
"That's right. She used me to beat you by the way, and landed me in the face again, so that I could be at peace. She's tough. Zhang said. Immediately, he whispered unwillingly: "Moreover, you don't want to make any moves." We can't deal with her. Even the Son of Heaven can't deal with her. ”
In the situation just now, Zhang Shuang already understood, Zhang Rang was just a call in exchange for goods in front of Queen He. But at this moment, I listened to Zhang Rang's words. Still a little surprised, he asked, "Why is Zhang Gong so afraid of her?" ”
"In this palace, my party is densely packed. But she has more henchmen, perhaps, and something I don't know. The people around me are also her eyes and ears. If she lets me die, I won't live tomorrow. Zhang Rang's face was full of unwillingness.
In that case, why hasn't Zhang Rang died yet? The answer is imminent, and it is for the future. The current Empress He has prepared for the balance of government and government after Liu Hong's death. And I don't plan to eradicate Zhang Rang.
This woman is far more terrifying than I imagined.
Zhang Shuang felt that there was more cold sweat on his body, and he found out for the first time that after he entered the court. The political enemy he faced, He Jin, and Zhang Rang, who was an ally but a poisonous snake, were far less terrible than the queen, and more deterrent.
And now, this hides in the water of the venomous snake. Traces are finally revealed. As soon as he made a move, it made his hair stand on end. Moreover, this enemy cannot be removed.
At least until the big change, she was invincible.
In the past ten years, Zhang Shuang has never encountered such an enemy, so he feels helpless. Zhang Shuang felt that he had miscalculated, and thought that when he entered the court, he should be as stable as Mount Tai, but he didn't expect that he was in danger of being tired.
is unwilling, and he does not dare to risk his life.
You can't put your life in the hands of others. Zhang Shuang's eyes suddenly flashed with determination, since this is the case, then I can only immediately implement the next plan.
Master the first battalion of soldiers and horses of the Northern Army, and expand the military power to 16,000.
According to the plan of the trial, I have 16,000 soldiers and horses, and I can barely control the entire Beiying 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses to attack Luoyang. Maybe if this development continues, I can't wait for Liu Hong to die, and I have to be forced to raise troops first.
Such a situation has to be guarded against.
In addition, I have to gather my henchmen more quickly to prepare for taking control of the government. At the same time, Zhang Shuang caught a glimpse of the unwillingness on Zhang Rang's face, so his heart moved, and said, "Does Zhang Gong have a place to talk secretly?" ”
Zhang Rang's eyes flashed when he heard the words, then nodded, leading the way, Zhang Shuang hurriedly followed. Soon after, the two arrived at a small hall.
"Father-in-law."
There were two little eunuchs chatting in the small hall, and when they saw Zhang Rang and Zhang Shuang coming in, they couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly saluted.
"Go down." Zhang said.
"No." The little eunuch promised and hurriedly got out. After sending away the little eunuch, Zhang Rang sat on the top of the head, pointed to the lower position and said, "Sit." ”
Zhang Shuang nodded and sat down.
"Something, say." Zhang Rang said bluntly.
"When I saw the queen today, I realized that Zhang Gong and I were just ants." Zhang Shuang was expressionless and said.
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Rang was in a bad mood and his tone was not good
I was just refreshed by the queen, and I was scolded by Zhang Rang. Zhang Shuang is also very popular, but he knows that Zhang Rang regards him as a knife in his hand, and he has a bad attitude, so he can't help it.
suppressed this anger and said: "The queen has the power to scheming, but she doesn't seem to want to get rid of Zhang Gong." You can take it slowly. But He Jin has military power. ”
"I thought you were trying to say something." Zhang Rang sneered, and then said disdainfully: "Unless he wants to plot a counterattack to attack the palace, he can't help me." ”
"The dog jumped over the wall when he was in a hurry, let alone the general. Zhang Gong don't forget, if there is Dou Wu in the first dynasty, he dares to use troops. Zhang Shuang said.
Zhang Rang originally disagreed, but now that he heard it, he was also shocked. The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and it was well described. There is the queen's coercion inside, and what is the coercion outside, Lao Tzu's future is indeed in danger.
But Zhang Rang was very smart and understood Zhang Shuang's intentions. He asked, "What do you want to divide the military power?" ”
"That's right." Zhang Shuang nodded heavily.
"It's simple to divide his military power, but no one in my network is suitable for leading troops, and at critical moments, it's even more useless." Zhang's eyes lit up. But he shook his head.
"Am I not Zhang Gong's person?" Zhang Shuang was also really angry, there were countless conspiracies and tricks in his heart, and the fire of rebellion was burning. At this moment, he said shamelessly.
"You?" Zhang Rang originally wanted to laugh, how can you, a hussar general, hold 6,000 elite soldiers, and lead a battalion of soldiers and horses. But after thinking about it, Zhang Shuang was right. This Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and Zhang Shuang can't check and balance He Jin.
In Luoyang City, there were 50,000 soldiers and horses in the five battalions of the Northern Army, and other miscellaneous items added up, 780,000 people.
If Zhang Shuang can divide 16,000 soldiers and horses, then even if he can't compete with He Jin, he will have a deterrent effect, so that He Jin will not dare to move. The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and Zhang Rang said: "The soldiers and horses of the fifth battalion of the Northern Army, you have to find a way to make a vacant seat." At a critical moment. I can help. ”
"Xie Zhanggong." Zhang Shuang knew that it was done, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and thanked him on his face.
"Don't thank you yet." Zhang Rang smiled coldly, and then said: "Don't think too well of me, since I can let you sit in the position of hussar general, I will also help you lead a battalion of troops, and weigh the government and the opposition." There are also ways to pull you off the horse. ”
This is a naked threat.
With Zhang Shuang's military power, the weight increased. Zhang Rang was afraid that Zhang Shuang would have a different heart, so he controlled it. And Zhang Rang's motto is to make the people below fearful. If you are afraid, you can control a person.
Simple and crude.
He believes that Zhang Shuang is just a human being in the final analysis.
"Please rest assured that Gong Zhang, I and He Jin are like fire and water, and the queen is pressing me again. I am definitely of the same mind as Zhang Gong. Since Zhang Shuang didn't want to be cheeky, he directly expressed his loyalty at this moment.
Damn, don't be ashamed to have power, don't have power to have face.
Zhang Rang's face softened a little when he heard this, and then he thought that his words just now seemed to be too heavy, as the saying goes. After scolding, you always have to give a sweet date. Zhang Rang and Yan Yuese comforted: "Don't worry, when He Jin is eliminated, even the queen will be put into the cold palace, and I will show you as a general, and we should cooperate with the outside world to control the government together." ”
"Thank you for your support." Zhang Shuang thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
The friendship between courtiers and courtiers has been taboo throughout the ages. Zhang Shuang, Zhang Rang has reached a consensus since the discussion has been completed. Zhang Shuang should not stay for a long time, so he said goodbye and left.
Zhang Shuang still took the chariot, went out of the harem, and arrived at the front palace.
Along the way, Zhang Shuang's body was tense, and for the first time, he realized that there was a murderous motive hidden in this palace, and he didn't wait to ignore it. After leaving the palace gate and getting into his carriage, Zhang Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. The coachman was ordered to drive quickly and return to the Hussar General's Palace.
At this moment, the banquet in the Hussar General's Mansion continued. After Zhang Shuang thought about it, he didn't bother. Bypass the hall and reach the study. Then he ordered the ward to judge and come to him.
When the judge saw Zhang Shuang, he was also shocked and asked, "Why did Ming Gong come back without making a sound?" But what happened inside the palace? ”
"The people in the palace are amazing." Zhang Shuang smiled bitterly and told the judge what happened in the palace.
"It's better to see than to hear. I knew the queen was powerful, but I couldn't imagine that she was so strong. No wonder he dominates the harem, and the Son of Heaven has to avoid it. The judge also smiled bitterly.
"Now I want to grasp the military power as soon as possible, and at the critical moment, I will not be pinched to death." Zhang Shuang said, after a pause, Zhang Shuang said again: "You go and investigate the captain of the fifth battalion, choose one, and we will pull him off the horse and replace him." ”
"No." Zhang Shuang felt urgent, and the whole clan pressed on Zhang Shuang for his life, and he felt even more urgent, so he promised again at this moment and went down to do it.
"Sure enough, there must be a real henchman at the critical moment." Zhang Shuang was satisfied when he saw this, and immediately, a raging fire rose in his eyes.
"I can hardly bear it, can I endure it until Liu Hong dies???? Who knows!!!!! Zhang Shuang wanted to endure it, but he couldn't help it.
He didn't know how long he could endure it.
However, once it breaks out, it will be a battle with the Son of Heaven, and the blood will stain the world. (To be continued.) )
