From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 765

The cold water flowed down my cheeks into my collar.

The soaked tea stuck to my face.

Empress Zhaojing stood there, lost in thought, her consciousness falling into darkness.

Yes, I was very smart before, why did I become like this?

When did I start to become stupid?

Perhaps when my junior brother began to threaten me, or when I began to doubt him, the disease had already been planted.

As my junior brother became more and more uncontrollable and the threat became greater, the disease grew more rampantly.

Until... after Fenglangjuxu, he showed his cards directly, giving me endless panic and powerlessness.

The five military camps listened to him, and he could attack Shenjing and occupy the throne at any time.

From that time on, the disease became uncontrollable.

Recovering the southwest, how important it is, I no longer care about it, but I care more about how to deal with my junior brother...

I have placed the throne above the world for a long, long time.

Empress Zhaojing lowered her head and came to her senses. She was confused by the situation. She recalled the past period of time and found it incredible.

Why did a person suddenly change so much?

Why did she think about these things all day and couldn't sleep?

She clearly remembered that she couldn't sleep before because she was always thinking about the policies, people's sentiments and the problems that needed to be solved in various places.

But now she couldn't sleep because she was afraid that her junior brother would rebel.

Changed.

I changed.

She stayed where she was, finally shook her head, and slowly wiped the cold tea off her face.

She whispered, "Sitting in this position, the heart will be constantly shaken by the safety of this position."

"So there is no perfect king in history. No matter how well they do, they will kill people for the throne, even if it is their father or son."

"I... didn't do well either."

Tears gradually appeared in her eyes. She covered her face and murmured, "I was wrong... But can I really be blamed? This position itself is poisonous."

"At the same time, you are also forcing me. You push me step by step and test my bottom line..."

"Although you don't want to be the emperor of the world, you want to be your own emperor."

"You have contributed to my becoming like this."

Zhou Yuan did not deny this sentence.

Instead, he relaxed, pulled a chair over, and sat down slowly.

Looking up at the red-eyed senior sister, he whispered, "Feeling wronged?"

Empress Zhao Jing glanced at him, turned her head away, and said nothing.

Zhou Yuan said: "It's okay, I have made great contributions to this world, I don't want much, just to be my own emperor, which is not too much."

"The reason why you become like this is more because you are worried that I will usurp the throne, and your suspicion is at work."

Empress Zhao Jing said loudly: "If the emperor does not suspect his subjects, he will be sidelined sooner or later. When I first came to power, I was sidelined. I'm tired of that feeling."

Zhou Yuan said: "Don't make a fuss, take a chair and sit over here and we'll talk slowly."

Empress Zhao Jing said: "No Come!"

Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Now that we have talked, why don't you come to discuss the future? Do I have to act like a little woman, venting my anger, getting angry, feeling wronged, and then coaxing you and making you happy? You are the emperor, not my concubine."

"You still know that I am the emperor!"

While talking, Empress Zhao Jing pulled a chair over and sat down and said, "How can you treat me as the emperor? I have to listen to you in everything, and I have to let you do whatever you want."

Zhou Yuan held her hand and said in a deep voice, "Senior sister, don't be tempted by desire again Drive, we have to go far away in the future, and do a lot of things. "" Those things are not done by others, I can only do it in myself. I have run the opponent and lead the world. I took a deep breath and said, "You still know that I have helped you." "But you have the ability to abolish me at any time now, how can I feel at ease?"revival. Doubt will only lead to your self-destruction. "

Empress Zhaojing said coldly.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "How about this, I'll make one last bet with you!"

Empress Zhaojing said, "What bet?"

Zhou Yuan said, "I'm in Ziwei Palace and I'm not going anywhere. You send the inner guards to Jingying to take back the military power."

"Even if you say I rebelled, you can see what the 12 regiments of Jingying you have reformed will do."

Empress Zhaojing said in a deep voice, "They will offer their military tokens and continue to be loyal to me."

Zhou Yuan said indifferently, "No, they will follow me to rebel. Shi Yi and Song Wu will lead the soldiers of the 12 regiments to occupy Shenjing as quickly as possible, and contact me through the Shenque to put the dragon robe on me."

Empress Zhaojing said, "Impossible! Song Wu is the grandson of Duke Song. The Song family is full of loyal and brave people. It is impossible to rebel!"

Zhou Yuan said, "Why don't you try? This is the last bet between us. "This time, you have no choice but to admit it." "If you win, I will be your favorite minister as I said at dinner today." "If you lose, not only will you have to fulfill your promise, but you will also have to accept my punishment." Empress Zhaojing looked at him subconsciously and asked in confusion, "What punishment?" Zhou Yuan said, "Don't ask. It's your choice whether to gamble or not." "It's best not to gamble. Just be the emperor. We agreed in the Imperial Ancestral Temple." Empress Zhaojing was silent for a moment before she said coldly, "I want to gamble!" "I don't believe that Song Wu will rebel!" "Besides, among the twelve regiments of the Beijing Camp, two of the great commanders are arranged by me!" She stood up, her eyes became sharp, and she seemed to have regained her former wisdom. She said calmly, "Junior brother, if you can win this bet, I have nothing to say." "At that time, I will listen to your arrangements. As for the punishment, I don't care anymore. ”

“As for the love between men and women, I may not be undesirable to you, your senior sister.”

“I can promise you that no matter who wins the bet, I will give myself to you.”

Zhou Yuan laughed instead.

If the senior sister didn’t bet, it would be a surprise. Her decision to bet made Zhou Yuan feel more at ease.

This at least proves that she has regained her sanity.

How can a king do things in the future if he doesn’t even have the courage to take a gamble?

Zhou Yuan needs someone to handle internal affairs so that he can go out and make a living.

As long as the senior sister is not confused, her level of handling internal affairs is still very high. She is the only one who can help him in the strategic direction to a certain extent.

After a few years, when Xingguo is a little bigger, she will step down. It doesn’t matter whether she is ruling from behind the curtain or breastfeeding the child.

Zhou Yuan patted her perky buttocks and smiled, “Go, make arrangements. "

Empress Zhaojing covered her buttocks, looked at him angrily, and gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it, don't be so proud. If you lose, I will let Xiaozhuang sit on you to death!"

Zhou Yuan's face turned pale immediately.

He was really afraid of this.
