Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 252 is a very simple truth

It was late at night, and Zhang Yongde did not even dare to return home, so he stayed overnight in the Crane Control Army barracks by the city gate.

He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He got up, walked to the front of the case, picked up a tool next to him, and gently dialed the wick of the oil lamp.

The light in the room brightened slightly, and then he took out a torn envelope, stretched out a palm, and poured out a piece of paper from the envelope. Zhang Yongde leaned under the lamp and read it carefully; there were a lot of words and the writing was smooth, indeed Wang Pu's handwriting. It was written completely in the identity of a personal acquaintance, not an order with a seal in the name of the Secret Envoy... That is to say, Zhang Yongde can completely refuse the "invitation" without carrying the accusation of disobedience.

But can it really be refused? Zhang Yongde thought over and over in his heart.

Zhang Yongde is the most famous general in front of people. He is the most senior general of the Forbidden Army. His wife is the fourth daughter of Taizu, a real relative of the imperial family. But he feels that the past few years have not been so comfortable, because it is too prominent, always being stared at, and very disturbed. But fortunately he has self-knowledge, otherwise he might not be able to afford it now.

Today, Zhao Kuangyin has escaped, and the victory or defeat is logically divided. He should immediately understand his choice. But things are not that simple.

……When he was still in Hebei, the emperor was seriously ill, and Zhang Yongde occasionally thought about something very tempting.

The emperor prefers a kind, a strong soldier and a strong horse! In this world, the emperor has been a general for many years; and Zhang Yongde is the most senior general under the emperor! He married Taizu's biological daughter; from the relationship with Guo Wei, it is really hard to say who the pro-son-in-law and nephew (Chai Rong) are. The current 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 didn't want to, others would help him think... For example, Emperor Chai Rong and his subordinate powerful general Zhao Kuangyin must have wondered if Zhang Yongde wanted to go further.

But the last step is the most difficult one. Countless people can't make it. People who are too profitable can easily get rid of it in one step (the losers such as Li Shouzhen and others are too many, and they are not famous if they fail). Zhang Yongde pondered over and over again and thought that he had no chance and no need to be attached.

So this morning when he learned of the Tokyo Mutiny and Zhao Kuangyin's sudden disappearance, he immediately became alert and hurried to the Crane Control Army barracks to avoid disaster.

Zhang Yongde has long understood the contradiction between Zhao Kuangyin and the Queen's Party. At that time, he immediately realized that he might be pushed up by Zhao Kuangyin to fight against Guo Shaobu.

There is absolutely no benefit to this kind of thing! Once Zhao Kuangyin fails, his yellow robe will not be cut and rooted? Even if he wins, everything is done by Zhao Kuangyin. He finds it difficult to sit in the upper position... The key is that the imperial city is controlled by others, and the chance of winning is not great. What if Emperor Chai Rong could stand up? The people in the imperial city were forced to invite the officials out. As the brother-in-law of the emperor, Zhang Yongde was deeply graced, how to deal with it?

Zhang Yongde thought about it, thinking that something was decided not to belong to him, and he couldn't ask for it... It was too terrifying, mother, and a more sinister and sinister place than the battle.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yongde took his entourage to the Donghua Gate and entered the imperial city alone.

...

In a palace room behind Jinxiang Hall, Fu Jinzhan had just eaten breakfast. She had a bad appetite for a while. She only drank two sips of porridge in the morning, then took a cup of warm water from the palace maid and took one sip in her mouth. After a while, he rinsed his mouth and vomited back gently.

The person next to him hurriedly put out tea and snacks again. Fu Jinzhan ignored them, her complexion was not very good, and she slept very uncomfortably last night. This Jinxiang Hall was originally not a place for living in the imperial city, and you had to go north through the Xuanyou Gate. The inside called "Da Nei" was the place where the emperor and the people of the harem lived daily. The queen wants to live in the Jinxiang Palace, and the people in the palace temporarily move in beds and supplies, which is always not so convenient in a hurry.

The sun outside had just risen, and the sunlight came in through the window. It was indeed very clear at this time, and Fu Jinzhan's smooth face was glowing with the stream of morning light.

She has a plain face and is not in the mood for any makeup. She has only a hairpin on her head and no other accessories; she is wearing a plain skirt. Dressed up this morning did not look like many queens at all.

But the plain dress did not affect her gorgeous beauty in the slightest. On the contrary, because the skirt fits tightly and narrowly, it does not cover up her figure like a dress, which shows her figure. The upright posture, the high chest, the soft and narrow waist, the full and tight buttocks and thighs stretched the skirt fabric, forming beautiful and elastic lines. She is indeed the most seductive when she is sitting, with a dignified temperament; this posture can show the beautiful contours of her hips and buttocks.

But nobody watched it here. She didn't pay much attention to it herself, she just sat there touching her faintly painful wrist.

She opened her sleeves and saw that a few fingerprints were still green. She frowned and touched the scar on her forehead subconsciously, recalling the frightened days of the past few years, the expression on her face became even more calm.

At this moment, when Cao Tai hurriedly walked in, he immediately opened his mouth and said: "Niang Niang, the official has just spoken, I want to see the minister's edict!"

After Fu Jinzhan listened, his hand accidentally touched the teacup on the table and almost knocked it over.

"How should I report the official's will?" Cao Tai asked carefully.

Obviously you can't ask the emperor to see the minister! Otherwise, if he said something unfavorable in front of the minister, wouldn't he ask for trouble? Fu Jinzhan pondered for a moment, then stood up and said coldly, "I'll go to see him, and he can tell me if he has any will."

"Here." Cao Tai replied.

Fu Jinzhan walked to the door, then turned around and said: "You send someone to watch over at Xuanyoumen. If the concubine of Da Nei asks to see the official, you ask someone to report me quickly."

Cao Tai bowed and said, "The army only entered the city from Xihua Gate yesterday. The palace people in the inner palace are panicking now, and I am afraid that I am afraid to come out for the time being."

After hearing this, Fu Jinzhan nodded, and gently raised his foot to step out of the threshold.

As far as the emperor's palace, the light was not as clear and clean as the houses outside, and the place was very closed. But it was not chosen by others for Chai Rong. He had chosen the place himself when he was still in charge. It is estimated that he had only one entrance here, and it was not good that even the windows had only a small light.

Fu Jinzhan walked up to the emperor and saw that he opened his eyes, and he didn't groan in pain like before, gasping for breath, as if he had improved a lot. When Fu Jinzhan saw this, he felt nervous. Is his illness getting better? If the emperor's condition improves, then things are really difficult to handle! Of course he can't be let out, otherwise many people will die from court to civil and military.

Fu Jinzhan kept silent, raised his hand and waved gently, holding back left and right. She stood far away and said softly: "Officials, you should understand that I cannot let you see the minister."

The emperor sighed together "Hey", and actually said: "Then I... see Zong Xun."

Although he still spoke very weakly, but his speech became clearer, Fu Jinzhan suddenly felt a little flustered. She calmly said: "Zong Xun is just a child and doesn't understand anything. If you have anything, tell me."

"I and you, and...what to say?" the emperor said.

Fu Jinzhan was angry when he heard it, but he didn't have any attacks.

The emperor said weakly, "I don't have much time, and finally... see Zongxun." After a while, he didn't hear a response. He turned his head slightly, opened his eyes and said, "You...want to usurp us... "

Fu Jinzhan smirked and sneered: "Who can blame for the situation left by the official? Do you really believe that wooden sign'Female Fu Dai Wang'? How did Brother Shao usurp the throne? Does the world obey him? It is Zhao Kuangyin, whom the officials have always relied on. If he succeeds, he can really become an emperor.

I am afraid that the officials know in their hearts that only if I support the Zongxun to inherit the Datong, can we continue the country; otherwise, you would have killed me long ago! This is the end, do you have any choice? "

"The adulteress..." The emperor only cursed, and had no energy to say anything else. .

Fu Jinzhan's face was blue and white, and said, "To tell you the truth, I am still innocent, and only you think of me so unbearable!"

The emperor hummed, with a snort of snort. Fu Jinzhan said: "Don't you believe it... A few years ago, I went to Li Shouzhen's mansion ~www.readwn.com~ before the bridal chamber was destroyed; later, according to Zhou Taizu's intention, after remarrying, don't I need to talk about it?"

She temporarily changed her mind, wanting the emperor to regret it. After a while, she said: "Does the officials think I am a person who does not care about my old love? The son of Li Shouzhen counts as my ex-husband, and Zhou Taizu counts as my murderer's enemy?"

Fu Jinzhan paused on purpose, waited for him to think about it, and then continued: "I consider killing my husband and my enemy a foster father, and remarry my enemy. But when you think about it, I just married you two years ago. How is the ancestor and the official family! Don’t you think it’s strange? I didn’t have any resentment towards Taizu and the official family in my heart... That’s because Li Chongxun and I have no relationship between husband and wife. Can Ancestor resent?"

"Huh?" Chai Rong suddenly changed color.

In a few words, Fu Jinzhan convinced him that she was originally a smart person. At this time, she paid attention to Chai Rong's expression, knowing that he had believed in eight points, and suddenly felt that all the grievances she had had for many years had come out.

When she saw this, she still didn’t let Chai Rong go, and said coldly: “Such a simple truth can be understood by officials with a little care. But after so many years, a clever man like an official still doesn’t understand it, because you There is nothing but the world in my heart, without my wife; I am insignificant to you, and you can't bear to use any of your thoughts on me!"

Chai Rong suddenly stretched out his hand to Fu Jinzhan from under the quilt.

Fu Jinzhan hurriedly took two steps backwards, farther away from him, but then forced him to ask, "Does the official regret it?" Chai Rong nodded helplessly.

Fu Jinzhan said: "It's too late now! Do you know why I made up the groom?"

Chai Rong did not answer, neither nodded nor shook his head, as if he was recalling the past.
