Is this really the arrogant and domineering Empress Chen?

Although Zhang Tang answered calmly, he was not in his heart. As early as when he heard Danbai say what Empress Chen had brought him, a question arose: Can Empress Chen say those words?However, seeing Empress Chen again now, he believed that the words must have been spoken by the woman in front of him——

But at this time the question changed: Is this woman Empress Chen?

He was standing in the hall, and he could see the glass of poisoned wine by sweeping his eyes to the left. Zhang Tang already vaguely understood what happened, but he didn't say a word—before Chen Ajiao talked about it .

Guo Sheren at the back looked at Chen Ajiao's blurry shadow standing on the hall from a distance, and was terrified to death, so she shrank outside the hall and dared not go in. Turning around, she wanted to stoop and walk away quietly, but she didn't want to stand in front of Danbai. Behind him, the unrecognizable face looked particularly creepy under the flickering lights, which almost scared him to the ground.

Danbai lowered his voice: "Guo Sheren?"

Guo Sheren wiped off his cold sweat. Fortunately, Danbai was a human being. It would be scary if it was a ghost. He glanced at the hall, and suddenly felt that it was better for him to be less involved in this matter. How could he be so stupid to eavesdrop?Zhang Tang was obviously plotting against him, and he led the people all the way, so no one stopped him.

He was eavesdropping just now, Zhang Tang must have found out early in the morning, but he let himself point it out at the end, and now he has to get in even if he doesn't get in.

Pulling Danbai to the next corridor for a week, Guo Sheren said bitterly: "Zhang Tang is a dead face, my old Guo was plotted by this person! Insidious, vicious, treacherous villain, cruel official!"

Danbai was a little dazed, Guo Sheren saw her reacting so slowly, and couldn't help shouting: "What are you looking at, do you still want to hear what they have to say?"

Anyway, absolutely, absolutely can't stay with Zai Zhang Tang, otherwise he will rush up and chop that insidious and despicable guy!

Danbai naturally didn't understand what Guo Sheren was annoyed about, so he wisely chose to shut up.

In fact, although Guo Sheren is slippery and cowardly by nature, he is quite intelligent, especially his ability to make people laugh, which is why Liu Che favors him.Just now he fell into Zhang Tang's trick and came to Nagato Palace, which was already a big mistake.

He was extremely depressed, but he could only sulk here, if he went on, he would be in even greater trouble.

But in the hall, Chen Ajiao stood up gracefully, with a tall screen behind her, and as she got closer to the lights, the expression on that white goose egg face became clear.However, at this moment, Zhang Tang lowered his eyes, put his hands in his sleeves, and didn't even look up, as if he was afraid of violating some taboo.

"Master Zhang handled the witchcraft case of my palace, but within three days, I was convicted and even sent to the Nagato Palace. Now, Mr. Zhang looks at this hall, do you still feel comfortable?"

The words contained sarcasm, and the words were like needles, but Chen Ajiao still had that graceful smile on her face.

She took the time to straighten her long and wide sleeves, but her heart was desolate.

When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden.Liu Che is very familiar with the matter of crossing rivers and demolishing bridges.Zhang Tang was probably just trying to figure out what Liu Che meant, and he could only say that this person was too winking.

However, Zhang Tang is famous for his strict adjudication of cases and his meticulous study of the law. After all, Chen Ajiao has not practiced witchcraft. He wronged himself and caused himself to be abolished.

Zhang Tang was just silent and didn't speak.

Those brows and eyes were drooping, and the thin lips were slightly pursed. It was really a jade face and a cold heart.

As expected of the legendary dead face, Chen Ajiao has seen this face many times, but she has never had such a strong feeling like today.

Zhang Tang's strategy and wisdom are top-notch. She recalled the evaluation of this person by later generations, he was honest, strict, and not favoritism. He was the right-hand man of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Now, Chen Ajiao was actually asked to negotiate with such a dead face, the corner of her mouth suddenly twitched - she was really cheating.

Seeing Zhang Tang's attitude of "it's up to you to kill or cut", she walked to the case, looked at the cup of cold tea, and thought about how to force him to speak.

"Master Zhang Tang, do you have any real evidence to verify that my palace practiced witchcraft?"

"The emperor personally led people to search out the paulownia puppet from the empress's palace. It can't be fake."

Zhang Tang sighed inwardly, the case was full of doubts, he was always discerning, how could he not know that Chen Ajiao was wronged?It's just that, as Chen Ajiao herself said, it's not the queen who doesn't realize it, but the king's mind is unpredictable.

Chen Ajiao has seen many people in the workplace, and there are many dull gourds who don't like to talk, but Zhang Tang is reticent, not dull gourd, this person can speak eloquently, but he doesn't speak easily-a gentleman is cautious.

"Can't be fake? Of course he, Liu Che, can't be fake. The one who faked it was Concubine Wei, right?"

The voice was drawn out, Chen Ajiao was still standing high and high, with a playful look in her eyes.

"Princess Guantao is very powerful, Liu Che has suffered from his relatives for a long time, first there was the Empress Dowager Dou, and now my mother Liu whoring, if I always sit in the queen's seat, he might feel like a thorn in his throat and have trouble sleeping and eating, right? It's better to let Wei Zifu do wrong to me, and give me a reputation of witchcraft and curse, just abolish me like this—"

Zhang Tang clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, he finally raised his head, and looked at Chen Ajiao with unprecedented solemnity. "Your Majesty, be careful."

Chen Ajiao laughed, but directly picked up the teacup on the table beside her with one hand, and threw it down. The cold tea splashed everywhere, but the teacup hit Zhang Tang's head.Zhang Tang straightened his back, he didn't dodge or dodge, let the teacup hit his forehead, blood flowed down, dripping on the bricks of the main hall, dark red.

The teacup fell to the ground and shattered, splashing pearls and jade.

Chen Ajiao was pleased with what she heard, and raised her eyes, but a cluster of fires were burning in her eyes, and said with a sneer, "Why? Master Zhang doesn't hide, because he thinks he deserves this punishment?"

"Your Majesty, whatever you say is fine."

Don't eat oil and salt, don't know good and bad - the evaluation given to Zhang Tang by other officials, it can't be more appropriate to apply to him at this moment.

Chen Ajiao really felt that she had run out of patience, and she had to use the final trump card: "Master Zhang still owes me a favor."

She didn't call me Ben Gong anymore, but changed to "I".

Zhang Tang raised his eyes, his face had a sense of femininity, but he added it to be fierce, and the one with thin lips was cruel and ruthless, in this respect he was similar to that Liu Che.A handsome man is beautiful because he is beautiful, he knows all kinds of tricks, and he was killed unjustly in the end. I am afraid Zhang Tang doesn't know--today's Chen Ajiao will be Zhang Tang in the future.

The most difficult debt in the world is the debt of favor.

From the time Chen Ajiao asked Danbai to pass on the message, he already knew whether it was a blessing or a disaster, and that the disaster could not be avoided.What should come, always will come.

There was still a dull pain in the forehead, but Zhang Tang lifted his robe and knelt down expressionlessly, "I remember."

The reason why Wu'an Hou Tianfu recommended Zhang Tang was because of the face of Princess Guantao's Mansion and Chen Ajiao. Without Tian Fu's recommendation, how would Zhang Tang be able to become the imperial censor?

Chen Ajiao's only luck was that the amnesiac herself was stupid enough, because when Liu Che was trapped, it was Zhang Tang who contacted him, and she saw that this man was loyal, so she actually helped him.

Zhang Tang is not completely human, which is one of the reasons why Chen Ajiao is sure to invite him here, not to mention that Zhang Tang is strict, he feels guilty for wronging himself, and he is also a companion of the king and the tiger. Looking at herself, he must Heartbroken, Chen Ajiao really doesn't believe that anyone can withstand this attack from multiple sides—even if this person is Zhang Tang, who has a mixed reputation in history, is ruthless and insidious!

She guessed right, Zhang Tang at this time is not the Zhang Tang in the future, he has only been in the officialdom for a short time, and the big dye vat has not dyed him all black, and now Zhang Tang can only laugh at himself: "Zhang Tang is ungrateful, The prison lady will forget about it."

Chen Ajiao came down, her dress was long and spread out on the steps, she looked at Zhang Tang who was kneeling with her head bowed, but reached out to help him.

Zhang Tang didn't expect that Chen Ajiao's arm would shrink from this action, and he looked up at Chen Ajiao, but only saw her face was calm, with a smile on her lips, she couldn't see any joy or anger, she was hiding deeper than himself, her eyes, Even under such a dim light, it was still extraordinarily bright. He couldn't see through it for a while, and then he lowered his head in a daze. At this moment, he realized that he had been supported by Chen Ajiao, so he was speechless again. All I could see was the corners of her clothes blown by the cold wind blowing into the hall, the black and white matching colors, the luxury was somewhat cold, and in a trance, there was a faint woody fragrance in the air.

Strange, at this time of year, the woody fragrance in Shanglin Garden has already bloomed...

Chen Ajiao was silent for a long time. She didn't realize that Zhang Tang had lost her mind. Thinking about the things of these many years, she actually developed an old mentality. With a long sigh, she said: "I want to cheat my death and leave the palace, can you help me?" ?”

Zhang Tang frowned, glanced at her, and lowered his eyelids: "The empress is in this Nagato Palace—"

"Don't talk too much, are you going to force me to drink that poisonous wine before you give up?"

Chen Ajiao stretched out her hand and pointed at the statue of poisoned wine three steps away to the left of Zhang Tang, and then dragged out her voice again, with a smile on her face, and said softly, "Or, Mr. Zhang, would you like to give it a try?"

Zhang Tang was usually eloquent, even Liu Che could be rendered speechless by his words, but facing Chen Ajiao today, he couldn't find anything to say.

He knows the king's heart, and he also knows the queen's grievances, but he is caught in the middle, how can he be a man on both sides?

Chen Ajiao said again: "I'm just tired. Master Zhang still remembers that day when she came to see me at Princess Guantao's mansion and asked me about the treasure hidden in the golden house. I didn't know at that time that Liu Che was so lucky that he told you that he was willing to do it for him. Wife. For him, I was willing to take risks, enter the palace in disguise, escape the eyes and ears of the Queen Mother Kou, obtain the last emperor's edict, and have my mother, Princess Dingtao, fully support him, so that I can ascend to the throne. Now it seems that I am an idiot Stupid, I still don't understand this trade-off, but Mr. Zhang has always been far-sighted, when you came to Princess Dingtao's mansion to find me early in the morning and dragged me into the water, you probably already predicted today's ending, right?"

She was right, Zhang Tang closed his eyes, and looked straight at Chen Ajiao for a long time, the corners of his lips turned up a little bit, but there was no smile, only coldness, "After this incident, the empress seems to have understood."

"Mastery? What can I do if I'm not mastery?" Chen Ajiao was laughing at herself. She didn't shy away from it, and she didn't act in a show. She acted in front of Zhang Tang, but she fell behind. "Wei Zifu can't tolerate me, and Liu Che can't tolerate me either. Yes As long as I am around, Princess Guantao will be hard to get rid of; if I am around, he will worry about his relatives becoming bigger; if I am around, it will be difficult for Wei Zifu to become the queen; Falling into his control. Therefore, I, Chen Ajiao, must die—without Liu Che's acquiescence, how could this poisoned wine come before my eyes?"

Wei Zifu's status is humble, even with the support of Princess Pingyang behind her, it is difficult to be elegant. After all, she can only rely on Liu Che for life, so that the harem is completely controlled by Liu Che, and there is no need to worry about the disaster of her relatives.But he thought very well, but Wei Zifu will also develop his own party members in the future, and the disaster of his relatives will never be avoided.

"If I die because of witchcraft, Zhang Tang, you are also to blame. Can Princess Guantao really let you go? You are not completely ungrateful, otherwise why would you come here with Danbai?" Zhang Tang, although I Trapped in Nagato, but with the power of Princess Guantao, I can grant you a high position and great power..."

"Have you decided yet?"
