"Chi'er, this matter is not about whether we can find out, but about what your father thinks." Xu Junru shook her head slightly, "Your father was still King Zhongxiao back then, and Qian Guozhong was more than ten years older than Concubine Mei. That's so far-fetched.
How could he believe the rumors about Zhang Wenkui? As for Zhang Wenkui and other matters, it was even more ridiculous. Concubines had customs for visiting the bride, so Zhang Wenkui went to see her, and it was under the eyes of countless chambermaids, and at that time Concubine Guo was favored.
How could you find yourself in a desperate situation? Your father would not believe it at all, and he would immediately think of who was responsible..."
Despite being refuted by his mother, Zhang Chi refused to give in. He had his own considerations.
"What mother said is reasonable, but this kind of thing is a trick to take advantage of father's suspicion. Mother, don't you think that with the change of age and body, father's suspicion has become more and more serious?
When these words are spread into the palace, believe it or not, they can leave a mark and bury a thorn in the heart of the father. As long as they achieve this goal, it is enough. Besides, Concubine Mei's side is fine, but Concubine Guo's
But it is a fact. Zhang Ji is only ten years old. Ten years ago, his father's interest in women has gradually faded. Concubine Guo's pregnancy with Zhang Ji was a bit unexpected. Dare you say that your father has no doubts in his heart? As long as there is such a thing
Rumor has it that my father will definitely have some knots in his heart..., at least I am his true biological son, no one can question this. Maybe in some specific circumstances, this is the last straw that breaks the camel's back..."
I have to say that Zhang Chi's words are somewhat reasonable. I don't expect to overthrow Zhang So and Zhang Li with such off-the-chart tricks and plant a thorn in the emperor's heart, even if I achieve my goal.
Especially the move against Concubine Guo, it was indeed quite lethal.
Xu Junru knew that Zhang Wenkui was not only the nephew of Zhang Jingqiu, the imperial censor of Zuodu, but also a Jinshi in the 36th year of Yuanxi. He had a handsome and elegant life, which was naturally different from the old and paunchy Emperor Yonglong at that time.
This requires a comparison. If the words are fiddled with more easily, with the emperor's current thoughts, it will really have some effect.
"Chi'er, this little trick may have some effect, but you have to understand that your father has to choose a fixed reserve at Tienwangshan Qiuyi. At this time, using this little trick may not mean much.
If you don't pay attention, it may even be counterproductive." Xu Junru looked at his son and said word for word: "This kind of trick, if there is still enough time, such as two or three years ago, may still have some effect, but now I'm afraid it has already
Nothing can be done, now, either defeat the enemy with one move and kill him with one blow, or don't do it and wait for the best opportunity."
Zhang Chi seemed to hear the hidden meaning in his mother's words, and he hesitantly said: "Mother, a son is not just these, naturally there are other means, but if you listen to mother's wishes, isn't it..."
Sighing softly, Xu Junru was also thinking about it. Indeed, it had reached the most critical moment. She also needed to evaluate whether she dared to use those tricks. The story of beating a snake but not dying but being injured by a snake could not happen to her.
body, but if you don’t make this bet, you will have no chance in the future.
Do you have a choice for yourself?
Looking at his son's appearance, Xu Junru nodded: "Tell me, besides what you just said, what other methods do you have?"
The mother's question made Zhang Chi hesitate, and after thinking for a while he said: "Mother, this son hasn't made up his mind yet..."
Xu Junru shook her head, "Why, you still can't trust me? Then what's the deal between you and Zhang Xin?"
Zhang Chi was shocked. He didn't expect that his secret relationship with his eldest uncle, Prince Yi Zhong, would actually be discovered by his mother. He deliberately avoided everyone and was very cautious there, so he always thought that no one knew about it.
"Mother, my son has no contact with his eldest uncle, but..." Zhang Chi didn't know how to explain it for a while. He knew the relationship between his father and his eldest uncle very well. If his grandfather hadn't been there, his father would have been right.
The eldest uncle took action, and he also knew that the eldest uncle was not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
"Chi'er, before you do anything, think through the causes and consequences first. You should know who Zhang Xin is and why he contacted you?" Xu Junru sneered, "It shouldn't be that he thinks it is good for him that you can wait for the position of Dabao.
Right? Or maybe he admires you the most?"
Xu Junru asked and Zhang Chi was speechless.
"Don't believe any news from Zhang Xin. Of course, there is no need to sever the relationship suddenly..." Xu Junru thought for a moment, "What does he want from you?"
At this time, Zhang Chi could only say honestly: "He said he only wanted to protect himself, and he didn't make any demands. He only said that when the iron net mountain is in autumn, he is willing to help me. If his son is not willing, he will not force it...
…”
"Hmph, you talk sweetly and use your heart to tell the truth!" Xu Junru didn't believe that this uncle could still have good thoughts towards the emperor after so many years of grievances. Is it possible? "Except for you, he has been in contact with Zhang Qi, Zhang Ji, Zhang So, Zhang Ji and the others.
What?"
"My son doesn't know." Zhang Chi shook his head, "My son also thinks that it's just a falsehood and compromise. I'm not a fool. I know what I can and can't do, and my son also has backup plans..."
"What back-up plan?" Xu Junru asked in surprise.
"My son also mentioned this situation to Mr. Qi Ge." Zhang Chi said with some pride.
"Qi Yongtai?!" Xu Junru couldn't believe it. She couldn't see her son clearly. "How did you talk to Qi Yongtai and tell him such a thing?"
"Mother, don't still treat your son as an ignorant child. My son met Mr. Qi Ge by chance at a cultural gathering. It happened that Wang Zinian arranged for someone to contact his son, and his son revealed this connection to him through some drunkenness.
Mr. Qi Ge, it’s nothing more than the uncle trying to ease the relationship with his father through his son. That’s what the son thinks, isn’t it? Mr. Qi Ge was noncommittal at the time, but if anything happens in the future, his son can also have Mr. Qi Ge as his witness. It’s a big deal.
It’s just that my son is too naive and believes in family ties too much. Besides, even if my uncle wants me to do something, I will judge it. If there is anything wrong, I will decisively refuse or tell my father directly..."
Xu Junru was sure that Zhang Xin must have some conspiracy, but she didn't ask her son to do anything, which made her a little unsure. However, her son was very defensive. After thinking about it, she said: "You are quite thoughtful.
If anything goes wrong, tell your father immediately, I would rather take extra precautions..."
Gu/span> "Don't worry, mother, my son understands." Zhang Chi said quickly.
"Then who among Zhang So and Zhang Ji do you think should be eliminated the most?" Xu Junru asked casually, using the word "out."
Zhang Chi took a deep breath and said, "My son is not sure either. Logically speaking, it should be Zhang So, but behind Zhang So there are Chen Jingxuan and Zhang Jingqiu. If we drag him on, it is fortunate that Zhang Jingqiu is not the Minister of War. Otherwise, the five military camp generals will be killed by Chen Jingxuan."
If you get it, we will all be in trouble."
"How can it be so simple?" Xu Junru dismissed it, "Even if Zhang Jingqiu is the Minister of the Ministry of War and the General of the Fifth Military Camp, Chen Jingxuan will not be able to do it. Unless your father is really determined to make Zhang Ji the heir apparent, he will not arrange it like this."
Zhang Chi also understood and nodded, "So, Zhang So is still the most dangerous."
"Well, I understand." A stern look flashed across Xu Junru's eyes, "You don't have to worry about anything else. I have my own arrangements. What do you think about Zhang Qi and Zhang Ji?"
"Mother, Zhang Qi and Zhang Ji are also restless now. They also have their own methods. It's just that we tacitly agree to kick Zhang So and Zhang Ji out of the game first. We will stay in harmony for the time being to prevent the fishermen from benefiting...
"Zhang Chi said hesitantly.
"Do you believe this?" Xu Junru sneered, "Don't do anything during this period. Follow me until you go to Tienwang Mountain. Don't fall into someone else's trap."

Jingren Palace.
Her rosy cheeks, which were broken by blowing, were slowly washed with water and looked even more white and rosy. Because a piece of wet hair stuck to her forehead, the maid carefully combed her black hair and pulled it into a bun.
, another maid quickly put on her shirt, "My dear, be careful of catching a cold."
The slender fingers of her slender wrists twisted the beads in her hand. The woman stood up. Her slender figure looked well-proportioned and tight. It was impossible to tell that she was the mother of a ten-year-old child. Instead, she was a pair of women shaking under her apricot bellyband.
The trembling breasts prove that she is a mother.
The woman seemed to be deep in thought as she allowed the maid to put on her clothes and shoes. It was not until the chiming bell outside the hall rang that she was awakened from her thoughts.
"What time is it?"
"Reply to your Majesty, it's correct." the maid replied.
"Why hasn't the girl come back yet?" The woman frowned, "Have you arranged for someone to pick her up?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, I have already gone, but it will take some time on the way."
"Well, have you ever heard that Xiao Feng Xiuzuan is going to Tienwang Mountain in autumn?" the woman suddenly asked.
"I've gone to General Manager Hai to inquire, but it's said that people who are not courtiers generally don't go to the Autumn Festival." The maid was a little nervous and lowered her head.
"Humph, it usually doesn't happen, so that means there are special exceptions?" The woman asked with some displeasure: "The Qingtan Academy is so difficult to deal with, and it actually refuses to make an exception for Ge'er. Doesn't it mean that it doesn't even buy the Tian family's face?
"
No one dared to answer this question. The woman seemed to be aware of this, her eyes darkened, as if she was thinking about something, "When will the second lady come into the palace?"
"It's the third moment of Shen Zheng." The maid quickly replied.
The woman nodded. She was still not well-informed in the palace, but she was too sensitive during this period and everyone was watching. She did not dare to act rashly and could only communicate through her sister.
Yesterday, I finally got word from the emperor, saying that King Zhonghui's concurrent appointment as the general of the fifth military camp is temporary. This is an opportunity. If my uncle can serve as the general of the fifth military camp, it will be a big deal.
