129 Three Birds with One Stone: Survive in the Cracks
Wan'er saw that the fish had been hooked, so she took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Yes, isn't Wulang Mo also like those people with shallow eye sockets, thinking that the general trend of King Wu Chenghei of Wei is gone, so there is nothing to worry about, right?" ”
Zhang Yizhi's face changed obviously, and his attitude was still contemptuous: "The mud can't support the wall, he doesn't deserve to be considered." ”
"The truth is true, but King Wei is the closest person in the Empress Wu family after all, his qualifications and connections are still there, and he can't tell when he will make a comeback, but he is good at drilling camps and tricks."
"There is no such time now, and never in the future." The elegant and handsome man said categorically, "As long as I, Zhang Yizhi, am in one day, he won't want to have this spring and autumn dream!" ”
Wan'er covered her mouth and smiled: "What kind of temperament is Gorou!" Where did King Wei provoke you? ”
This is a knowingly asked, Zhang Yizhi smiled coldly: "He didn't provoke me, but he promoted me, and I am largely due to him today." ”
"You can only blame Gorou for your reputation, if Gorou is mediocre, who will care? It's Gorou's own fault. After Wan'er finished speaking, she poured herself a glass of wine.
Zhang Yizhi pushed the wine glass in front of her towards her, his eyes were deep, she was praising him?
"Huh." Then he sneered a few times, and he didn't expect that the elegant man would also scold: "This fang is very hateful!" ”
"Gorou doesn't treat Wan'er as an outsider, so honest and honest, how can Wan'er not think about Gorou?"
"Tell me, what are you going to think of me?" Zhang Yizhi stared at her, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
Wan'er didn't shy away from this gaze, it sounded like a joke: "Actually, it's very simple, the more Gorou dislikes someone, the more he opposes something, the more praise and admiration he may as well be praised and respected in front of the empress, the more times there are, the empress is annoyed, and this person will not be able to do this." ”
Zhang Yizhi replied loudly: "The empress hates that someone is around her cronies the most, Wu Chenghei has suffered in this, and now as long as my sixth brother and I often tell him in the empress's ear that he is so good, the empress will inevitably suspect that he is a thief, and he will repeat his old tricks, she will definitely be disgusted with him-this is in line with our brother's wishes, but-" His voice folded, paused, and said vigilantly: "The Neisheren must not be just for our brothers, right?" What else do you have to plan? went to such great lengths to prevent Wu Chenghei from becoming the prince, who did he dare to ask? I don't want to be confused about adult beauty. ”
Wan'er admitted with a smile: "Gorou is really transparent, and it is really easy and pleasant to talk to someone like Goro." I don't want to talk too much, I do it just to think twice. ”
This "three thoughts" is particularly warm and affectionate.
"Women are so fickle, so quickly empathize and don't fall in love." Zhang Yizhi played with the wine glass in his palm, and his smile did not fade, "If the sixth brother knows, he will definitely be very sad, but he still remembers you!" ”
"What do you do with the absurdities of the past? It's all Wan'er's own power. She said it deliberately.
Zhang Yizhi was a little serious: "Wan'er, don't hate the sixth brother." Changzong treats you like something special after all, but you have no fate or share. ”
Wan'er didn't answer, she said that it was too cumbersome, and the page of Zhang Changzong had been completely turned in her life.
Zhang Yizhi said: "Speaking from the heart, I don't want Wu Chengsi to become the prince, nor do I want Wu Sansi to become the prince, so Wan'er, sooner or later, we will be opposed, and I feel sorry for this." ”
Wan'er shook her head, pretending to be mysterious: "What if there is a possibility that we will no longer be opposed?" Is Gorou willing to try? ”
Zhang Yizhi was skeptical: "Please advise the inner house." ”
"Can you only be surnamed Wu if you can be a prince?" Wan'er smiled slyly.
Zhang Yizhi suddenly said: "You mean to welcome King Luling back to Beijing?" ”
"Now above the court, the call of the King of Yingluling is getting higher and higher, and the children of the Wu family are far inferior to the people in the hearts of the people. Everyone is just afraid of the power of King Wei and King Liang, and if King Luling becomes the prince, it will be a good thing for both you and me. Although Wu Sansi is my lover, but in the face of life and death, love words are the most unbearable, and all I am trying to do is self-preservation. ”
This remark was exchanged for a brief silence from Zhang Yizhi.
"Your brothers, and I, in fact, are all surviving in the cracks, they don't belong to Wu, they don't belong to Li, neither surname allows us, and maybe they will be used as scapegoats by both parties at any time. Under such circumstances, if we take advantage of the situation and actively express our attitude, not only to please the courtiers who are hostile to us, but also to be a favor to the Li Tang royal family, and at the same time not lose the protection of the empress, why not? ”
"Wan'er, let's have another drink, and we'll be in the same boat from now on." Zhang Yizhi said this, and there is no need to say anything else.
The two raised their wine glasses, drank at the same time, and both raised their empty wine glasses to show each other, looking at each other and smiling in tacit understanding.
With the help of the Zhang brothers, the empress was frightened at first, and even the people next to the pillow were making a request for the king of Luling, it seems that the situation is really urgent, and the weight of the Wu family's children in her heart suddenly became lighter, and she was determined to recall the son who had been living abroad for more than ten years first.
Wan'er is the person closest to the empress's thoughts, and after confirming the empress's decision, she wore a black hat and quietly visited the princess's mansion at night, and she wanted to leak the news to Taiping first.
After hearing all this in the secret room, Taiping was overjoyed, and dared to burst into tears for a while: "Brother Seventh has finally survived this day, I am really happy for him, all these years of suffering have not been in vain!" After so many years, I'm afraid that the green silk has boiled white. ”
Wan'er was infected by this emotion, but quickly realized that it was not the time to be immersed in joys and sorrows, she signaled that she was too calm and stable in her emotions, and she still had important things to say.
Taiping nodded, restrained: "Wan'er, just say, do you still have concerns?" ”
"The news that King Luling is about to return to the dynasty should not be publicized, the fewer people who know, the better, otherwise we are likely to have empty joy, and we must avoid happy and sad things, therefore, don't talk about anything, including the concubine, including the imperial heir." Wan'er's face was solemn, as if the princess also had to obey her.
Taiping also looked solemn and promised: "This is a certainty!" ”
"The reason why the empress has not yet announced it to the public is that she is worried that the two surnames Wu and Li will not be able to get along peacefully in the future, out of personal feelings, the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, but more importantly, if Wu Li is like fire and water, the foundation of this Great Zhou will inevitably shake, and the empress does not want her hard work to be ruined on cannibalism."
"I know this, but is there any way to crack it?" Taiping couldn't hide his hurry.
Wan'er didn't want to say it, but after pondering, she still spoke: "I have a plan, it's not the best, but it can win buffer time between Wu and Li, and it can also allow the empress to welcome back King Luling as soon as possible...... With time, everything can be slowly polished, and Wu Li can be safe. ”
Taiping asked, crisply and neatly: "What do you need me to do?" ”
“…… The Li family was led by the imperial heir and the princess, and the Wu family was led by Wu Sansi, and the two sides formed an alliance, and the Li Dan book iron coupon was stored in the Ming Hall, and the gods were invited to testify...... "Wan'er said roughly, seeing that the princess's eyes were complicated, she did not unfold.
Taiping pressed the knuckles of his fingers, and seemed to smile: "Or Wan'er, you have an idea, I want to break my head, and I don't have a plan for both worlds." ”
Wan'er had an abnormal feeling in her heart, and she often had this feeling when she met the princess in private, as if it was a suffocating sense of oppression, but just when it was difficult to breathe, this tightness disappeared without a trace.
"I will mention this matter in the recital asking the Zhang brothers to be the dukes of the country, and see what the attitude of the mother queen is." Looking at Taiping again, she smiled brightly and sincerely.
"The princess plans to ask the Zhang brothers to be the princes of the country?" It's a good move.
"The two of them sold such a big favor to us, and they just exchanged gifts." Taiping explained.
Wan'er replied: "The empress intends to promote the Zhang brothers, and the princess's invitation is the right time. ”
After talking about the matter, it turned out to be cold, neither of them took the initiative to speak, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing.
When Wan'er was about to get up to say goodbye and reach out for the black hat, she suddenly remembered that there was one more thing she wanted to ask Taiping for help, so she turned to the princess and whispered, "Princess, I have something to ask for." ”
Taiping didn't think about it, and there was a sense of arrogance in his words: "What do you want or not, our sisters should help each other." ”
She was called a sister, which made Wan'er feel uncomfortable, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, thanks to the princess's love." ”
Taiping smiled slightly, and there was a hint in his words: "You can treat the imperial heir as a brother, and you can treat Apo as a relative, can't we be sisters between us?" Am I too bad to be qualified? ”
Wan'er had no choice but to smile: "The princess is a close friend in my heart, and we are a lifelong friendship, not just sisterhood." ”
This answer made Taiping feel a little guilty, she admired Wan'er, but it was also mixed with jealousy.
"Tell me, what kind of thing is it?" Tai calmed down and asked.
"Ask the princess to help secretly take care of the family of an old man, the old mother of the old family is sick, and the younger brother is still weak, so the princess is troubled. If you can, in the future, please ask the princess to help the old man's little man into a usable talent! Thank you for your kindness! Wan'er stated, her face solemn.
Taiping didn't ask the reason, and promised: "Okay, I promise you, I will definitely do it!" ”
It was already late at night when I rushed back to the palace from the princess's mansion, and the guards did not dare to embarrass Wan'er, but on the contrary, opened the door for her to be convenient, which was the privilege of the Neishe people, and everyone in the palace knew that the Neishe people could not be offended.
Lying on the bed, Wan'er thought a lot, and unconsciously thought of Wu Sansi, his wishful thinking was about to come to naught, does this also mean that the relationship between them is about to come to an end? The Tao is not the same, this is an ancient precept, but also the truth. Since there is destined to be a time when they will part ways, all that can be done at the moment is to cherish.
