Chapter 164 Let her go
After chatting with the Queen Mother in the palace for a long time, Zhang Jianzhong took the initiative to leave. The Queen Mother did not try to keep him, but just looked at his back thoughtfully.
"Cold Food." The Empress Dowager called softly.
"At." A palace maid ran over from a distance.
"Go and find out what the general has been going to recently and who he met."
"Here."
The empress dowager waved her hand and asked her to retreat. Looking at the place where Zhang Jian disappeared, she suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitations. It seemed that something was flowing through her fingers.
Qingyao seems to have been to the General's Mansion recently, and she has had close relationships with Chen Lancai before... The Empress Dowager couldn't help but think of it.
However, based on the information she had, the other party had a good personal relationship with Yang Peihuan, and went to the General's Mansion to teach Yang Peihuan's calculations. In order to avoid suspicion, she almost never saw Zhang Jianzhong, so she could only visit him to chase the shadows. Zhang Jianzhong did not take the initiative to find out that Zhang Jianzhong was not at home before he came to the door. It was not until Yang Peihuan's birthday that changed. This should be because Yang Peihuan said it was in the middle of the story.
As for Chen Lancai, both of them are extremely excellent girls, and it is normal for them to appreciate each other. Moreover, they have been alienated recently. It should be to avoid suspicion that Li Qingyao did not have any contact with Chen Lancai anymore.
Well, I must be thinking too much, Qingyao must have nothing to do with this matter. The Queen Mother thought that this kind of palpitations should be just her illusion!
Am I not confident anymore? He was just stunned for a while today, and I was so scared. The empress dowager laughed at herself, and it seemed that she still relied on him too much.
Although most of the people in the court and the country were surrendered to her on the surface, the empress dowager knew that she was not the real emperor after all, and not many were completely convinced by her. There were still many people with a lot of mind waiting for Jiang Qian to grow up, help him seize power, and gain the merit of following the dragon!
So in the past few years, she not only wanted to win over the old aristocratic families, but also planned to cultivate some real confidants from scratch, but unfortunately the effect was not very ideal. Many key positions in the imperial court were occupied by aristocratic families. Even if there were some vacancies, the people she trained were of great ability and influence, and she couldn't sit steadily if she sent them.
But fortunately, she found Li Qingyao.
Her parents both died, and she could take the opportunity to give favors. She could defeat the master of the fourth level of heaven at the age of sixteen, and her future cultivation would probably not be inferior to Zhang Jianzhong. She also realized the great way and had a strong mind and a talent for Wang Zuo. Moreover, she was only sixteen years old. If she was on the Qingcheng List this year, as long as nothing unexpected happened, she would maintain the beautiful beauty for ten or eight years.
During this period, with Li Qingyao and Zhang Jianzhong as their support, he could also operate, find an excuse to depose Jiang Qian and establish another new puppet king from the royal family. Even if Zhang Jianzhong is no longer as easy to manipulate as before, with Li Qingyao here, he would not be confused immediately.
This is the abacus in the empress dowager's mind. Li Qingyao is necessary. For this purpose, she can even resist the urge to kiss Xiangze. She will never force the second Chen Lancai to rebel.
Qingyao, don’t let your mother down… The Queen Mother took a deep breath and murmured.
On the way home, Zhang Jian had a little congestion in the center. Because he concealed something from the Empress Dowager, that was, the military tactic he was thinking about was written by Li Qingyao to ask him for advice.
Actually, this is not a big deal, and it should be nothing to say it. But he didn't say it for a while, and then he couldn't find the opportunity.
The method of practicing generals lies in correcting one's mind, setting ambitions, diligent professions, educating military tactics, strict control, avoiding stubbornness, and avoiding flattery... A child who has never led a soldier has such a deep understanding that even makes it difficult for Zhang Jianzhong to delete too many!
He couldn't wait to go back, he wanted to know what surprises Li Qingyao brought him today.
"Is she here today?" Zhang Jianzhong walked into the house where he chased the shadow, but there was no need for an answer. Yixiang in the house had already told him the answer.
"I've been here, you're really unreliable!" Zhuiying gave Zhang Jianzhong a angrily glance, "I gave you the military tactics he wrote and asked you to help correct them. You'll be fine. I'll slapped my butt to see you. I have nothing to give to me today!"
"I'm asking for advice, not asking me for advice." Zhang Jianzhong said with a smile.
During this period, he and Li Qingyao have been communicating through chasing shadows. He knew that Li Qingyao already knew, and he could even be sure that Li Qingyao knew from the beginning, and even said that her purpose was Zhang Jianzhong.
But Zhang Jianzhong was not disgusted. He thought it was a bit cute. Which man would really be indifferent to the beauty’s advice, let alone the area he was best at.
Moreover, with Li Qingyao's talent, it is more like a conversation that is close to equality than asking for advice. She is not a ignorant Xiaobai, and Zhang Jianzhong talks with her smoothly and freely.
So Zhang Jianzhong has not been out of Yemen these days, so he stayed in the study to study how to reply to Li Qingyao.
"If you ask me for advice, she must know that it is you behind it. I don't understand what you are doing, and it's so concealed!"
"Isn't this just what you want?" Zhang Jianzhong smiled.
"Although this is the case..." Zhuiying thought with some reluctance, suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhang Jianzhong with an ambiguous look, "Hey, do you think this little girl, do she like you?"
Zhang Jianzhong was shocked and suddenly looked at Zhuiying. He saw that the other party looked like a smile, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Zhuiying snorted: "I think she always talks about you every time she chats with me, and she always talks about you as she talks about you, and she is very lively when she talks about you!"
Zhang Jianzhong turned around and flipped through the things casually: "That doesn't mean anything!"
Chasing the shadows is excited: "Hehe, why are you in a hurry to deny it? She must be just like you!"
Zhang Jianzhong stopped the movements in his hand and said coldly: "Don't make this joke randomly, it will ruin the reputation of the little girl! The little girl is pure and innocent, but she has made a vow!"
"She vowed not to get married again, but she didn't vow not to be with a man..." Zhuiying walked to Zhang Jianzhong and gently hit his shoulder, with an ambiguous tone.
Zhang Jianzhong opened the other party with a palm and shouted, "Stop it! You have lived for hundreds of years, why are you still so ridiculous! I'm leaving!"
When Zhuiying saw him angry, he hurriedly said, "Why are you so angry? Excellent males always have many females who like it! This is not very normal. Are you taking the wrong medicine?"
Zhang Jianzhong ignored him and strode out.
"Hey, by the way, she said today that this may be the last time she has come!"
"What?" Zhang Jianzhong was stunned and stopped.
Zhuiying couldn't help but feel owed: "I can't bear to leave?"
Zhang Jianzhong resisted the urge to beat the other party, took a deep breath, and pursed his lips: "...Has her military strategy been completed?"
"It seems that there is no, but she is about to enter the government, so she will not have so much leisure in the future. Moreover, her family and your family are on the east side of the palace and the other is on the west side of the palace, and it is quite far away when they go back and forth."
"Well... I understand. Let her." Zhang Jianzhong was silent for a moment and said.
