Chapter 1185 Weird Reason
At the gate of Luo City, flags are waving.
Zhang Yi led the Qin delegation here, and as soon as he arrived here, he wanted to meet the Empress of Zhou.
But Pei Jiming, the Minister of Rites of the Great Zhou, looked embarrassed and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Zhang has come from afar, why don't you take a rest for a day and meet Your Majesty tomorrow?"
"Ok?"
Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of surprise: "Why is this?"
Before coming here, he had sent someone to pass on the message that he would negotiate with Wu Zhao as soon as he arrived in Luocheng.
Logically speaking, Da Zhou couldn't be so rude as to reject even his request.
But Zhang Yi gave a bitter smile, pulled Zhang Yi to the side a few steps, away from the others, and then whispered:
"For some reason, your Majesty's temper has become very bad these past few days, and he gets angry over trivial matters from time to time."
"Today, because a maid broke a bowl, Your Majesty sent her to the border to do hard labor."
After hearing this, Zhang Yi was stunned.
The Queen of the Great Zhou is angry. If we meet at this moment, it might be more trouble than gain.
However, he had always heard that although the Queen of the Great Zhou was domineering and cold, she did not seem to be so cruel.
It's unreasonable to get angry over a mere bowl.
Could it be that Pei Jiming was deliberately lying to him?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi's eyes turned, and he suddenly took out a stack of checks from his sleeve and handed them over, whispering:
"The battle on the front line is tense. Please inform Lord Pei that I really want to meet with Her Majesty the Empress in the future."
He thought Pei Jiming was after his money.
But Pei Jiming waved his hands repeatedly and explained hurriedly: "Prime Minister Zhang, please don't misunderstand. In fact, I also want to end the battle on the front line as soon as possible."
"However, His Majesty's temper has been unpredictable these days, and he takes it out on others at every turn. It's really hard to get close to him."
Zhang Yi frowned and stared at Pei Jiming without saying a word, as if he wanted to find out something from Pei Jiming's expression.
Logically speaking, the Zhou Dynasty won a great victory on the front line, and the Empress of Zhou should be happy. How could she be angry so often?
With a bit of doubt, Zhang Yi snorted coldly: "Master Pei, is it possible that you are dissatisfied with the lack of this banknote and deliberately deceived me?"
"Your Zhou Dynasty won a great victory in this battle. The Queen of Great Zhou should be happy and even hold a celebration banquet. Why would she be angry?"
Zhang Yi became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and even his tone became louder.
But Pei Jiming's face was full of hesitation, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
This look made Zhang Yi even more curious.
How could the Minister of Rites, a third-rank official, actually have such an expression?
Not normal, so abnormal.
But this also aroused Zhang Yi's curiosity even more.
What exactly happened that made the Minister of Rites speechless?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi pretended to be angry and sneered: "Why, you think you are my rival just because you defeated me once?"
"Are you trying to provoke a full-scale war between the two countries by neglecting the truth like this?"
"Believe it or not, if my Qin State recalls the army that was used to resist the barbarians, I can destroy your Zhou Dynasty in an instant?"
As the words fell, Zhang Yi's aura suddenly exploded.
His eyes were as big as bells, a hint of anger appeared on his face, and he looked angry and humiliated.
Pei Jiming seemed frightened, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying in a low voice: "Prime Minister Zhang, please don't be angry. Please listen to my explanation of this matter."
"Humph!"
Zhang Yi flicked his sleeves and stared down at Pei Jiming: "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"
Pei Jiming smiled bitterly and sighed, "Zhang Xiang is well-read, so he should know that women have periods seven days a month, right?"
Tiankui, which means menstruation.
The woman has her period for seven days every month, and she bleeds for seven days straight. Anyone with a little knowledge knows this.
Zhang Yi was no exception and nodded slightly when he heard this: "Of course I know the truth about this matter, but what does this have to do with the Empress's anger?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yi was stunned.
Empress, why is she called the Empress?
Of course, because Wu Zhao was a woman.
If you are a woman, you will have your period.
When you have Tiankui, you will get angry for no reason and take it out on others for no reason.
If you go to find Wu Zhao at this time, you will undoubtedly be asking for trouble.
Although the Empress of the Great Zhou was not an ordinary woman, she was still a woman in the final analysis.
If you are a woman, you cannot escape the fate of being a woman.
No one can control things like Tiankui.
No matter how powerful the empress is, she probably won't be able to control her emotions and temper during this period.
No wonder he got angry because the maid broke a bowl. It turned out that it was because of the coming of Tiankui.
However, Tiankui only lasts for seven days!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi hurriedly bowed and apologized: "So that's how it is. I misunderstood Master Pei."
"May I ask, Lord Pei, what day has it been since Her Majesty the Empress arrived?"
Pei Jiming smiled bitterly and said, "Today is the third day."
That means there are still four days left.
Zhang Yi's face looked a little grim: "Could it be that Lord Pei wants me to wait in the inn for four days?"
"This……"
Pei Jiming hesitated for a moment and whispered, "That was my original plan, but the peace talks between the two countries are a big deal after all, and we can't delay it for too long."
"How about this? I will go to the palace to check on the situation. If your majesty is in a better mood, I will propose to meet with Prime Minister Zhang tomorrow."
What this means is that he has no say in the matter and can only depend on the Empress' mood.
Having said that, Zhang Yi didn't know what to say.
Besides, he had been traveling day and night in recent days and was really tired, so he needed a day of rest.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble Lord Pei!" Zhang Yi bowed again.
"No, no, this is my job. Please come this way, Prime Minister Zhang."
Pei Jiming heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhang Yi was no longer pestering him, and stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Yi to enter the city.
Seeing that things were making progress, Zhang Yi did not want to create any more trouble, so he led the former imperial guards and the dragon flag into the city in a mighty manner.
After settling Zhang Yi and the Qin imperial guards, Pei Jiming immediately rushed to the palace.
Half an hour later, in the Lizheng Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Wu Zhao sat in the main seat with a calm expression, holding a memorial in her hand. She was not as bad-tempered as Pei Jiming said.
If Zhang Yi saw Wu Zhao at this moment, he would definitely understand that Pei Jiming's words were false.
Pei Jiming came into the hall and bowed: "Your Majesty!"
Wu Zhao raised her eyes to look at Pei Jiming and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Pei Aiqing, no need to be polite."
Pei Jiming stood up and said solemnly, "I have followed your instructions and have temporarily stabilized Zhang Yi, but judging from his expression, I'm afraid he doesn't believe what I say."
"I have no choice but to agree to his recommendation."
Wu Zhao chuckled, put down the memorial in her hand, and said calmly: "Zhang Yi is a good talent, so he naturally doesn't believe you."
"But there is no way. When I meet him tomorrow, he will believe what you say."
This plan was planned for her by Chu Ning, and she had complete faith in Chu Ning.
This time, she wants to show her acting skills in front of the Prime Minister of Qin!
The person behind all this is Chu Ning!
