"Lieutenant! Yin Sheng!" A rich voice sounded. This strong man, wearing a pair of well-fitting casual clothes, sat there with dignity.
This man has long eyebrows and looks dignified. He was raising his glass to salute politely.
Behind him was a Wu Hanzi who looked about the same age. He was none other than Zhao Kuangyin, who succeeded him and took up the post of inspection in front of the palace, and the person behind him was none other than the deceased emperor Chai Rong, and the tea and wine envoy Cao Bin who was usually by his side.
"Zhao Dianjian! Nice to meet you!" He politely returned the greeting, and also returned the greeting to Cao Bin who was respectfully saluting him at the side.
Looking at Zhao Kuangyin's sincere eyes, Zhang Yongde suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that he had just thought of him, but did not expect to see him right away. He couldn't help but said calmly: "Zhao Dianjian just came from Cangzhou. He worked tirelessly for the country and attended the early morning meeting. He must be a little tired!"
"Where! Where! It's rare to meet a Taiwei, but a certain family knows that there is a very famous wine shop in Waqiao Pass. I hope the Taiwei doesn't mind it being shabby, so how about we go and eat together!" Zhao Kuangyin's face did not change, and he pointed at Cao Bin and said : "Guohua is a real person, and he can be said to be half the master of Waqiao Pass!"
"That's very good. Since we are so kind to meet with you, if a certain family declines, it will seem like we have lost our closeness. Let Guohua lead the way and go together to experience it!" Zhang Yongde saw that Zhao Kuangyin's words were friendly and natural, and he didn't address him like a court official. He himself agreed with a smile.
After all, after coming out of the palace, I no longer had that scruple. What's more, he was an officer and soldier of the Zhou Dynasty. Zhang Yongde was upright and the meeting was in broad daylight, so he did not refuse Zhao Kuangyin's kindness.
Zhang Zhen, his personal guard, saw that he was with Zhao Kuangyin and Cao Bin, so he followed him.
Even if he has never interacted with the Jiuyang Sect, who would make the Jiuyang Sect attack his relatives?
It’s nothing more than a person who feels his identity is threatened!
I have always thought that the target was naturally the emperor Guo Rong, but Guo Rong, who had always been upright and upright, was now the emperor. There was no need to deal with him like this. Thinking of this, Zhang Yongde later became suspicious. But Ji Hongzhong gave himself a reminder, that is, if he steps down, who will benefit the most?
He had never thought about this before, but now he suddenly felt enlightened! Could it be?
"A certain family is here to ask the Taiwei for advice!" Zhao Kuangyin actually stood up, clasped his fists, and saluted Zhang Yongde cautiously.
He looked at Zhao Kuangyin quietly, this young man with a good kung fu. It is said that when he was young, he was favored by Master Cheng Chu, the master of the Buddhist Xinzhang Sect, and taught him the supreme Buddhist method "Vajra Demon Subduing Fist" and "Demon Subduing Stick Technique". At a young age, his cultivation has reached a very high level, and he has created a famous boxing technique called "Nine Layers of Long Fist". Not only is he famous in the world, he is also very prestigious in the military.
"You're being too polite in the inspection! Although he is a minister of the same palace and has always been in the imperial army! But the inspection has always been in a foreign position. He is a true pioneering minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He has always been admired by a certain family!" Zhang Yongde! He said sincerely, although Ji Hongzhong's words were still echoing in his mind, but he really couldn't think of it. Guo Rongxiong had great ambitions, how could Zhao Kuangyin make trouble!
"Being appreciated by His Majesty, a certain family is naturally extremely honored, and they will do their best for the great Zhou Dynasty. But seeing the Taiwei's current situation, a certain family suddenly understands the Taiwei's state of mind!" He saw that Zhang Yongde did not say anything, and his face was calm and natural. , couldn't help but said sincerely: "Your Majesty has lofty ambitions, and he is still in his prime. He will surely become a wise master who will unify the world. Although a certain family has been making contributions to the country, and has achieved small victories in sending troops, but when he thinks about it, he will become more powerful. I’m always in a state of panic!”
"Great achievements shock the Lord!" When Zhang Yongde heard this, he thought of one word in his mind, and he knew that Zhao Kuangyin was looking for trouble in him.
He is the emperor's brother-in-law, but he is also jealous of the emperor. And Zhao Kuangyin was still an outsider. For a young man, taking the highest position in the Forbidden Army was the highest honor in life. He also became the governor of the Great Zhou Dynasty with a heavy army, and the troops under his command were enough to attract anyone's attention. Although he is glorious, from another perspective, will he be even more tabooed by the emperor?
"I will be the emperor through inspection! It won't be wrong, but it won't be your inspection!"
Ji Hongzhong's words suddenly exploded in Zhang Yongde's ears! I don’t have this intention! And isn't Zhao Kuangyin doing inspections now? Moreover, the troops he now controls are much larger and wider than what he had before!
How can it be! Zhao Kuangyin did not have this qualification and could not control the talents in the court, let alone the military commanders!
But who dares to say!
Guo Rong is young and powerful. Under his hands, it is basically impossible!
Zhao Kuangyin is also young and courageous!
! ! !
Zhang Yongde walked out with a calm face, because it was the time of preparation for war and conquest. As a senior military general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhang Yongde wore a general's battle armor on the outside and a military general's civilian clothes on the inside.
There were no other people around him, and Zhang Yongde had gradually gotten used to this feeling in the past few months. Because of the sensitivity of my identity now, there were still many people following me in the past, and they still had some illusions. Later, after I completely surrendered to Guo Rong in person, the number of people around me gradually decreased. Besides, this is the front of the battlefield, and many civil servants from the court are not accompanying them.
To be honest, Zhang Yongde preferred this straightforward feeling. Looking back at the officers and generals who kept coming out behind him, Zhang Yongde seemed to be relieved.
There is no one around to pursue him, and naturally there will be no people who follow him secretly. Which emperor would not be afraid of people who would put pressure on him. There are some things that I know clearly, but I am not so reassured and cannot make them public. I feel at ease and free in my heart.
Of course, Zhang Yongde didn't hope that Guo Rong would understand him. At least Zhang Yongde didn't want the princess to be sad. As for whether Guo Rong understood or not, Zhang Yongde didn't care too much.
After all, the world still belongs to the Guo family. Although Guo Rong inherits the great cause, even though he is only the wife and nephew of the late emperor, his surname must be Guo! The princess and he have become brothers and sisters, not cousins before. What's more, in terms of blood alone, the princess is the real blood of the Guo family.
Zhang Yongde had only one idea, which was to protect the world for Guo Wei and the family's inheritance for the princess. Zhang Yongde knew that Guo Rong was more decisive than himself in killing and was obviously more suitable to be the heir to this foundation, so Zhang Yongde did not fight that day. Guo Wei also took a fancy to Zhang Yongde.
Guo Rong seemed to understand Zhang Yongde's thoughts at first, but as time went by, he seemed to no longer believe that Zhang Yongde would be so single-minded. Let me ask you, if you are sitting in that high position and there is someone who can threaten your status next to you, who will feel at ease and who will deal with it calmly?
Zhang Yongde does not regret his original choice, at least not yet. Because he knew that even if he came back to make another decision, even if he sat in this position, he would not necessarily be better than Guo Rong. Moreover, because of his temper, the foundation left by Guo Wei may have been torn apart long ago.
