When Zhao Kuangyin returned to his house, he sat on the chair and sighed. He felt a little aggrieved. Suddenly, Zhao Pu came to the door and asked: "My lord, why are you sighing?"
Seeing that there was no one else around, Zhao Kuangyin briefly described what happened during his meeting with Jingniang.
Zhao Pu said: The result is worse than the Lord expected, but there is no loss. If we can win back Jingniang at this time, it will be the best, and it will drive a wedge around Guo Shao; if not, it can also play a role in dividing the internal forces of the opponent. Anyway, we are invincible in this matter. As for Jingniang's inability to speak, why should the Lord care about a woman
After hearing this, Kuangyin thought about it and nodded slightly.
"I came to see you today because of a more difficult matter," Zhao Pu said.
Kuang Yin immediately had a bad feeling in his heart, because he had never gained any advantage since he started fighting against the Queen's party. Hearing Zhao Pu's tone, he wondered if someone had controlled him again.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Zhao Pu's voice saying: Dou Yi in the court told me that an official from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory reported that the brightness of the Purple Star and the Big Dipper was gradually weakening, and the government has asked people to make divinations.
Does the weakness of the Purple Star mean the weakening of the throne? Zhao Kuangyin asked in amazement.
Zhao Pu said: It is obvious that Ziwei Star is the master of Dou Shu, and everyone knows that it refers to the star of the emperor. If the official dared to say that, there must be someone behind him who instructed him, otherwise, saying that the emperor star is weak is asking for trouble.
After hearing this, Kuang Yin stood up and paced, asking: Since the Heavenly Official was instructed to speak nonsense, why did he only say that the Purple Star was weak
Zhao Pu said: Maybe Empress Fu doesn't want to argue with us in front of the emperor, and she took this action just to threaten us.
Kuang Yin pondered and said: You mean, after she knew about our layout of the wooden signs in advance, she would use the astronomical phenomena as an excuse for her gradual progress? It's strange, this matter is only known to you and me, why does she understand our intentions so clearly? Kuang Yin is also a military general, and he can only read and write, and his knowledge of books is not very wide.
As expected, Zhao Pu said: Empress Fu saw that our method was borrowed from the unofficial history of the Tang Dynasty and guessed our next move.
This woman is really incredible, she is about to become a spirit, it can be guessed from this, Zhao Kuangyin frowned and said, in this case, if we continue to talk about celestial phenomena, we will be at a disadvantage if we follow her.
Zhao Pu said: That is indeed the case. Just like when Queen Fu learned about the wooden sign, she also made a wooden sign. She was then passively controlled by others.
Kuang Yin frowned: "Regarding the celestial phenomena, tell the people in the court not to act rashly for the time being. If we continue on the same path, we will lose the momentum first." He paced back and forth for a long time and turned back to say: It seems that our path was wrong from the beginning.
Zhao Pu hurriedly said with an apologetic look: I am incompetent and none of the strategies I suggested to my lord were effective.
This is not your fault, but the opponent is not a very good person and also kept Guo Shao in Hebei. I thought it was a sure thing, but it failed. Now it seems that the one behind the scenes must be Empress Fu, who is the only one who is familiar with the strategy. Kuang Yin said.
He pondered for a moment, and then said: I have seen the Queen's intentions. She has been keeping a low profile for a long time. Now she is only defending and not attacking, so that the opponent will be careless. Her intention should be to stabilize the situation first, wait for the little prince to be successfully regent, and then strike back.
Our previous strategy was to gradually shake her power and position. But now that many attempts have failed, perhaps we should change our strategy.
Zhao Pu said: Once Empress Fu becomes regent and has great power, it will be difficult for us to move against her with her methods. How does the lord want to change his strategy
Zhao Kuangyin said: "We should keep all the plans we have not yet made, and do not make any moves for the time being, so that the opponent will not be able to guess our intentions. Now we should wait until the right time, and suddenly make all the moves, and a single blow will determine the outcome."
After Jingniang met Zhao Kuangyin, she no longer went to Yuzhen Temple, but immediately returned to Guo's Mansion.
She entered the mansion from the front door, and when she passed the front hall, she saw Guo Shaozheng inside from afar through the open door, with Zuo You and Li Chuyun beside him. There should be someone sitting on the other side, but she couldn't see it from her position.
It is already afternoon, and according to Guo Shao's recent habit, he will not go out again.
Jingniang walked north along the corridor and entered the second courtyard through the cave gate. She was quite hesitant about whether she should tell Guo Shao about her encounter with Zhao Kuangyin.
In fact, even if she had already surrendered to Guo Shao, if Zhao Kuangyin had come to her earlier, she would not have treated Zhao Kuangyin like that, at least she would have been much more polite. But later, two people from the Zhao family died, and both were blamed on Guo Shao. Even if it was not blamed on Guo Shao, at least he could not be separated from him. The hatred between the two families had already been formed; Jingniang was not stupid, so how could she not understand the key relationship
However, if they had not become enemies, would Zhao Kuangyin have lowered himself to come to me
A sneer appeared at the corner of Jingniang's mouth, but the smile soon disappeared completely, leaving only coldness.
At this time, the women from the second courtyard came forward to pay their respects, but Jingniang sat on the chair and ignored them. She was feeling very nervous now. If Guo Shao knew everything about the incident, it would be better not to mention it. She didn't know what he would think at this critical moment.
But if he didn't say it himself, and let Guo Shaoxian find out from those followers, and both sides were guessing about the matter, it would be even more difficult to deal with.
At dusk, Guo Shaocai left the front hall and walked towards the cave door alone.
The weather in July was very hot, and he was sweating all over. He felt very depressed and decided to go to the back garden to rest.
Looking back, I didn't do much today, but I don't know why I was so tired. It might be because I was too nervous and anxious. When I was worried, I would keep thinking about those troubles in my mind, and there were more than one thing. Many things were entangled and mixed together, so I kept thinking that even if I did nothing, it would be unbearable.
Master. Suddenly, Jingniang's voice came.
Guo Shao was a person who paid close attention to the movements around him, but at this moment he didn't notice anyone. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Jing Niang standing at the door of the front room looking at him.
He also responded with a greeting, because he often saw Jingniang and was very familiar with the people at home. But soon he suddenly remembered and asked casually: Are you back from doing something
"Master, come in first, and we'll talk," Jingniang said.
Guo Shao followed his instructions and entered the wing room, and his attention was immediately drawn to Jingniang's body. It was no wonder that he was lustful, as he was not in the mood to do so, but Jingniang's figure was just too exaggerated.
The weather was hot, and she had changed into a thinner light-colored dress when she came back. The temperature was the highest at dusk when the sun had not completely set, and the ground was also hot after being exposed to the sun all day. There was no air conditioning or electric fans in this era, and Jingniang did not use a fan. In the past two days, she would sweat even if she sat still. Sweating in thin clothes
If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine as long as they put a little thicker material in the key places. But Jingniang is different. Her towering and exaggerated breasts completely support the thin top. Once soaked with sweat, if you look closely, you can see some signs of exposure, like the outline of two buttons. Strong and upright breasts also have troubles. They can stretch clothes without a bra.
Her waist was not too thin, but rather firm and slender, and contrasted by her upright chest and hips, it looked very soft and curvy. This was probably what a wasp waist and perky hips looked like. Anyway, Guo Shao had only seen such an exaggerated figure on Jing Niang. The light green top and white silk skirt were actually quite fitted, but they tightly wrapped around her body in some places, which inexplicably made people feel nervous, as if they would be torn apart.
As long as Jingniang wore women's clothes, Guo Shao would ignore her face because her figure was too attractive. However, her skin color was actually quite white, and although her face was not as beautiful as the two women in the back garden, her features were regular and attractive; perhaps because her expression lacked the gentleness of a woman and was always cold, she did not seem very beautiful at first glance. Jingniang's face was the type that did not look stunning at first glance but became more beautiful the more you looked at it, slightly wide but relatively well-proportioned.
She is also very tall, almost as tall as an average man. Usually people, both men and women, would feel pressured by such a woman.
Guo Shao was stunned and distracted. But this woman also put some pressure on him, and she rejected his requests for sex many times. Guo Shao thought about it and had to give up.
I met Zhao Kuangyin. Jingniang suddenly got straight to the point.
It was in line with her usual style, no twists and turns, but Guo Shao was stunned when he heard it. He had almost ignored Jingniang's background, but now he suddenly realized that she was Zhao Kuangyin's adopted sister.
Guo Shao suddenly stopped paying attention to her body, and stood there in a daze, speechless for a moment.
Jingniang looked up at the expression on his face and said coldly: He was the one who blocked me on the road, and he might have sent someone to find out my whereabouts long ago. But I ignored him and we almost got into a fight.
Guo Shao saw a chair next to him and suddenly felt very tired, so he sat down on the chair, rubbing his chin with his right thumb and index finger, still without saying a word. He suddenly felt so tired that he didn't even have the strength to speak, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Your Jingniang came up, stood in front of him, and asked again, "Do you believe me?"
Guo Shao immediately said: I don’t need to ask you whether I believe it or not. You know those things about me. If you had secretly revealed them to others, I would have died a thousand times.
But the master is still alive and well and talking to me, Jing Niang said.
Guo Shaodao: What happened between a woman and her ex-boyfriend is normal
What is an ex-boyfriend? Jingniang asked in confusion. What can I do if Zhao Kuangyin blocks my car on the road? What do I do and say after I see him? If you don't believe me, go ask Qiaoniang and the groom.
