Under the sunset.

Zhang Zhuo rode his horse and bumped into Wang Daosheng from time to time, but Wang Daosheng avoided it calmly.

The former is like a volcano that erupts at any time, and the latter is like a hidden iceberg. They are obviously unrelated, but they happen to be together. Chen Ji is confused: "Master Zhang is like this on weekdays..."

The word childish was not uttered after all.

Zhang Xia reached out and stroked the mane of Zaozao's back, and said with a smile: "My father is very powerful in his official life, but he is rarely like this. He must be Mr. Wang, and that's why he is like this." Chen Ji became even more confused: "Why is this?" "

Zhang Xia thought for a while: "My father once said that Mr. Wang is a gentleman. Come to think of it, when facing Mr. Wang, he does not have to be as cautious as usual. Although Mr. Wang does not agree with him, he will never harm him." Chen Jiqing Sighed: "That's great."

Zhang Zhuo and Wang Daosheng did not quarrel for a long time.

Zhang Zhuo gradually calmed down. He sat on his horse, looked at the place where the setting sun was shining, and said with emotion: "The country is picturesque, if only the world could be at peace." He suddenly said: "The Holy King."

Wang Daosheng looked at him sideways: "Master Zhang, please speak."

None of them are as good as you in terms of position, which is why Mr. Hu Ge dares to recommend you."

Wang Daosheng smiled and said: "There must be a 'but' behind it."

Zhang Zhuo took a deep breath and said, "However, during the thirty-one years of His Majesty's reign, the thing that His Majesty dislikes the most is people without weaknesses. The flawless saint in this world can only be the one in Renshou Palace, and cannot be anyone else." Wang Daosheng asked calmly: "So what should I do?"

Zhang Zhuo lowered his voice: "In this case, I will give you a few women, and you will take a dozen or so concubines first before you go to the capital." Wang Daosheng laughed: "I am in Dingyou, and I cannot continue my marriage or take concubines."

Zhang Zhuo looked up at the sky and thought, then lowered his head and said, "Then charge some money. I'll find someone to give you some money, and then I'll write a memorial for you, add a few copies of it, and send the evidence to His Majesty." Wang Daosheng was delighted: "If this happens, I'm afraid I'm going to go to inner prison."

Zhang Zhuo shook his head, held up the black gauze on his head, and brushed the dust off the white roc on his chest: "I'm not as good as you when it comes to essays, classics and meanings, and you're not as good as me when it comes to being an official. You only receive a few thousand taels of silver." His Majesty doesn't take it to heart at all. Doesn't His Majesty know that the people under his command are greedy? Of course he knows, and he is not worried."

"What are you worried about, Your Majesty?"

Zhang Zhuo turned to look at Wang Daosheng: "Your Majesty is only worried that if he doesn't want to use you, he won't be able to get rid of you."

Wang Daosheng smiled and said, "I don't want to touch any of the things you mentioned. All I want in this life is a clear conscience."

Zhang Zhuo cursed and said, "You pride yourself on being noble. I have seen a lot of scholars like you. All you have to say in your life is honesty and integrity, but you have accomplished nothing. If you and I join forces, how many great things can we do?"

Wang Daosheng said softly: "Seeking results in the wrong process will not be a good result in the end. Mr. Zhang, it is too late for me to taint myself now. I am not as courageous as you. You and I have different political views, and we are officials in the same dynasty. It's better not to join forces." Zhang Zhuo remained silent, and the atmosphere fell into dead silence.

Several juniors followed behind, holding their breath.

Zhang Zhuo suddenly sighed and said: "Your official position will definitely not be as high as mine in the future, but you may live longer than me. After I die, don't let the historians blindly write about me." Wang Daosheng was silent for a long time: "This is not something I can do.

Certainly."

Zhang Zhuo smiled freely: "That's all, let them go." Wang Daosheng asked calmly: "Are you willing?"

Zhang Zhuo stroked his beard: "What else can we do?"

He thought for a while and then said: "By the way, do you still remember the song "Beheading the Good Minister" that the Xu family sang at the hall meeting in the 25th year of Jianing?" "Remember."

Zhang Zhuo asked again: "Which section do you like best?"

The holy way of kingship: "The power of locking the reins of fame can win over many heroes; the display of bells and drums can awaken countless idiots. What about you?"

Zhang Zhuo laughed loudly: "Having achieved fame and fame, the wind and snow are thousands of mountains away! The plays you and I like are not the same, so we are not on the same journey, so that's fine!" At this time, the sound of the transverse flute came from the distance, like a sword coming through the wind and snow.

Chen Ji looked up in his mind and saw a man sitting in front of a carriage downstairs at the city gate of Luo City. He was like a coachman, but much more detached than the coachman. His muscles were tense, and his hand silently touched the whale knife: "Mr. Feng

!」

Everyone took a closer look and saw that the carriage was parked alone beside the official road. The carriage was engraved with a peacock pattern. It was Liu Gelao's carriage. Chen Ji subconsciously looked at Prince Jing, but saw that the other party had a dull expression and looked directly at the man with cold eyes.

Ride a carriage.

Seeing them approaching, Mr. Feng slowly put down his flute and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my master would like you to get in the car and have a chat." Prince Jing remained motionless, still staring at him coldly: "It was you who led the people to surround and kill Yunxi.

With the white carp?"

Mr. Feng looked surprised: "Your Majesty, are you kidding? I have been listening to music in Baiyi Alley in Luo City these past few days and have never gone out." Prince Jing sneered and said, "Do you need me to provide evidence?"

Mr. Feng laughed loudly: "No, no, no, even if the prince comes up with evidence, I won't admit it." Prince Jing sneered: "Insolent."

Mr. Feng looked at the Chitose Army behind King Jing, and said with a smile: "The Chitose Army left the camp without the Ministry of War documents. Your Majesty may not do anything to the prince, but there will definitely be someone in the Chitose Army who will bear the consequences. If His Majesty is used to it, the King

The general will probably be sent to Lingnan for hard labor...it will probably be difficult to see him again in the future."

Chen Ji was startled. It turned out that the cost of a siege of Luhun Villa by the Chitose Army was so high. King Jing said loudly: "General Wang."

The man holding the royal flag responded and said, "The general is here." King Jing said, "Return to camp."

"My lord, take care."

After that, General Wang waved the royal flag in his hand, and the thousand-year-old army solemnly turned their horses and headed south. The black armor worn by thousands of soldiers made a deafening clatter, without any sloppiness. The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Liu Gun was dressed in gray.

Commoner, with the help of Mr. Feng, slowly stepped out of the carriage. Zhang Zhuo quickly motioned for everyone to dismount and salute.

However, Mr. Liu Ge did not look at Prince Jing. Instead, he looked at Chen Ji first and looked at him carefully: "Are you Chen Ji?"

Everyone suddenly looked at Chen Ji, and no one thought that Chen Ji was actually noticed by the dignified old man.

Zhang Zhuo chuckled, pulled Wang Daosheng between Liu Ge and Chen Ji, and bowed his hands with a smile: "You are fine, Mr. Ge."

Liu Gun glanced at him: "Now he is not a pavilion elder, he is just a bad old man who is worried at home. Master Zhang, don't be afraid, I just want to chat with this young man for a few words, and I won't harm him." Zhang Zhuo hesitated for a moment. , and finally retreated.

Liu Gun looked at Chen Ji and asked again: "Are you Chen Ji?"

Chen Ji stood beside the war horse and bowed in salute: "I am the one who is returning to the pavilion."

Liu Gun chuckled, like a kind old man: "Young talents, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they have a promising future." Chen Ji did not answer.

Liu Gun asked again: "Are you married?" Chen Ji shook his head: "No."

Liu Gun smiled and said: "There happen to be a few girls in my Liu family who are of marriageable age...

Before he finished speaking, he saw the prince stepping forward, saluting and interrupting: "Grandpa."

Liu Gun didn't feel dissatisfied when he was interrupted, and turned to look at the prince with a smile: "Good boy, I haven't visited the Liu family's mansion in these years. In the early years, when your mother was still here, she often took you back to the Liu family to visit. It depends." The prince replied: "Grandpa, I have been busy with studies these years. I will definitely visit you more often when I have time in the future."

Liu Gun said happily: "Okay, okay." Chen Ji frowned.

It turns out that Prince Jing’s principal concubine is also from the Liu family. Could it be that she is Concubine Jing’s sister?

Up to now, the cause of the Zhengfei's death seems to have been lost in time and no one has mentioned it, but Chen Ji thought of the Liu family's character and methods and couldn't help but wonder if there was any secret in it?

Liu Gong glanced at Chen Ji, and finally said nothing. He looked at Prince Jing with a tired expression: "Your Majesty, why are you and me so tense when we meet? We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's get in the car and talk." Jing The king thought for a moment, then turned to the prince and said, "You go back first."

The prince said urgently: "Father..."

Prince Jing comforted him and said, "Go, nothing will happen." But the prince was unwilling to leave.

Zhang Zhuo laughed: "We have been traveling all day in the snow and wind, so we should go home quickly, drink some hot tea, and take a walk."

As he said that, he took the prince's arm and walked towards the city gate, and lowered his voice and said: "What can he do to the prince in full view of everyone? Do you have to force the Liu family to quarrel with each other, are you stupid? Don't worry, prince. It'll be okay." The prince then turned around and left.

After walking into the city gate, Chen Ji couldn't help but look back and saw Prince Jing lifting the curtain and boarding the carriage, while Mr. Feng was standing beside the carriage, smiling at himself. There was a bang, and a man bumped into Chen Ji in the city gate. Pass by.

Chen Ji took a closer look and saw the man lowering his bamboo hat and joining the crowd at the market. He was clearly the figure of the secret agent Xifeng.
