Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

"I often feel some kind of mysterious guidance, as if a great mission has come..." Zhao Kuangyin murmured.

Zhao Pu listened attentively, and hurriedly said: "Heaven will send a great mission to the people of Si, and they must first suffer their minds and wills, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their bodies, empty their bodies, and confuse their actions. Therefore, it is tempting to be patient, which has benefited what they can't do."

Kuangyin came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that 'half the Analects of Confucius rule the world', how did you carry Mencius on your back?"

Zhao Pu laughed and said, "After reading Confucius, I naturally want to read Mencius."

Kuangyin said: "According to Mencius, our temporary setbacks are just to hone our minds?"

"Exactly." Zhao Pu cupped his hands and said, "No one can stop those who are destined by destiny. But for the sake of greater things for those who are destined to achieve greater things, the temper and requirements are even higher. It cannot be smooth sailing, and there will always be some hardships and hardships. Are you ready, my lord?"

"I'm not afraid of hardships and hardships." Kuang Yin hurriedly said again, "Pass, pass, talk too much."

Zhao Pu smiled and said nothing.

Kuang Yin pondered again: "The plan we discussed, can we really take action?"

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin looked very strange. He was a burly and black-faced man, but he spoke very softly and cautiously. He was not as straightforward as usual. The big man suddenly became like a little daughter-in-law, he hesitated after thinking about it, and behaved unhappy.

Zhao Pu said: "My lord, please make a decision. But in my opinion, the more delays, the worse it will be for us."

Kuangyin turned over a wooden sign on the table, and saw four words engraved on it: female Fu Daiwang.

Zhao Pu said quietly: "If there is no such woman, the wooden sign should say 'check to be the emperor', then it will be smooth...Now there is only this wooden sign, it may not be effective."

Kuang Yin said: "It's not necessarily true. But Guo Shao's letter was too obvious and too obvious to slander, but he still achieved his goal; the officials kept Han Lingkun in Xiong and Ba, so it's hard to say whether they think Guo Shao's words are justified. At this time, this wooden sign can also play the same role. Use his own way to treat his body and ears."

Zhao Pu said: "This is just the first move, it's not enough, it needs stamina to keep up. The wooden sign is for the master to find a chance to do it himself. I will go back to Beijing early tomorrow morning to do another thing."

Kuang Yin finally nodded and said, "Let's do it like this."

Zhao Pu suddenly laughed and said: "This plan is one after another, and the two key things seem to have nothing to do with each other. In addition, the officials know that the serious illness is difficult to cure, so they will definitely be more suspicious. The right way is to believe it. I don't believe that the officials are not superstitious. When two things come together, the woman will lose her skin if she is not dead!"

After hearing this, Kuang Yin smiled, reached out and stroked his beard, and gradually became calm.

...For a while, the army was in charge, and the various departments of the army had already started to set off one after another.

With an army of more than 100,000 people and a lot of supplies and equipment to be sent to Cangzhou by boat, it is still very complicated to mobilize at once, and some subtleties will inevitably appear confusing.

Chai Rong set off in a four-wheeled cart. The carriage was so wide and big that it looked flat like a big turtle.

He is not in good health, and the driving is inevitably bumpy, and he is often exhausted, but he still endures and reads the memorials whenever he stops. Two days after the departure, a cloth bag caught his attention, and he asked the eunuch Wang Zhong to take it out to see what it was in the car.

Wang Zhong took out a wooden sign and checked that there was nothing else in the cloth bag. He looked down casually, his face changed instantly.

Seeing this, Chai Rong immediately asked sternly, "What is it?"

Wang Zhong quickly knelt down on the car and handed over his hands. Chai Rong's expression changed when he saw it, and he asked, "Who submitted this to me?"

Wang Zhong was at a loss, and kowtowed: "These two days have been busy with teachers, and everything is cumbersome. I didn't pay attention to it... But, but I'm afraid it's not an ordinary person who can put things in the memorabilia for the officials. Who is it..."

Chai Rong was speechless for a long time holding the wooden sign.

Wang Zhong asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to investigate?"

Chai Rong stretched out his hand and made a gesture: "No. What good is it to make the chickens and dogs restless? What good is it to find out who it is?"

Wang Zhong didn't dare to say more.

After half a day, Chai Rong suddenly ordered: change the itinerary and pass through Daming Mansion.

At this time, the Zhou army's squadron took the water route, but the main force of the cavalry traveled by land, and the speed was faster. You don’t need to go through Daming Mansion by land. It’s a bit of a detour, but not much... The key point is that the emperor changed his itinerary temporarily, and I’m afraid he specifically wanted to pass through Daming Mansion.

The female talisman represents the king! Wang Zhong was thinking about this matter.

The female talisman should refer to the queen. Could this wooden sign be the apocalypse? Otherwise, it would be strange if they came to the official's house without anyone noticing. Wang Zhong was also reminded that the Queen's power might really increase in the future.

He decided to take another risk and make meritorious deeds, trying his best to get closer to the queen.

But to reveal the news to the queen, a trusted person is needed... There is a small problem here. Wang Jien, who was sent back last time, has not yet returned, and may not return. After sending the secret letter, waiting in Tokyo can save an extra trip.

Wang Zhong had no choice but to choose someone else. The Ministry of Internal Affairs had adopted several godsons, and Wang Jien was just one of them. There is also a godson "insider" Peng Hanju beside him. He is a thin but thick-boned guy. Usually Wang Zhong doesn't like this godson... because his son is older than him. But there was no one available at the moment, and Peng Hanju was still considered a confidant, so he sent him back to report the letter; this time Wang Zhong didn't write anything, he just asked him to go back and dictate the message.

Peng Hanju quietly left the barracks, and the eunuchs were left alone, because they were usually doing errands assigned by the emperor.

This time Peng Hanju really returned to Tokyo, because he only took refuge in the eunuch Wang Zhong, the emperor's confidant, and had to follow his godfather.

He didn't even see the queen's face, he saw Cao Tai. Now came the question, Peng Hanju specifically mentioned that he had sent a letter back last time, and asked the queen if she had received it.

Cao Tai immediately denied that he had any contact with Wang Zhong before, and he was sure that the eunuch on Wang Zhong's side wanted to see the queen, so he couldn't know about it.

Peng Hanju felt a little strange, but he didn't say much, he only talked about the wooden sign.

Cao Tai found out who Wang Zhong had under his command, and he didn't trust this Eunuch Peng, but since he came back with the news, regardless of whether it was true or not, Cao Tai hurriedly told Fu Shi.

I thought the queen would be very angry, but Fu Shi didn't say a word after hearing this, and continued to close his eyes and meditate. After a long time, he suddenly said: "Didn't he say that he sent someone to deliver the letter last time? Where is that Wang Ji'en, you can find out after that."

Cao Tai was surprised that someone slandered such a big event as "a female talisman acting as the king", but the queen ignored it, didn't care whether it was true or not, and instead paid more attention to a seemingly unimportant detail. But since it was the Queen's confession, Cao Tai hastily agreed.

Seeing the doubts on his face, Fu smiled and said: "Even if the wooden sign is real, we can only endure it now, there is no other way. So don't bother with the wooden sign for now, and take this opportunity to find out what happened to those eunuchs. What exactly is Wang Zhong's intention? And who is Wang Jien?"
