turmoil

Zhang Jingche even knew about Han Xun's "self-judgment" earlier than Liu Yanzhao, or in other words, this was his idea for Han Xun.The princes in the court were furious, and they wanted Jin Yiwei to give an explanation, so Han Xun would take his life to fill it up, and it would be hard to say anything if he wanted to come to the Qingliu of the two courts.

This move is mainly anti-customer, not only blocked the mouths of the officials in the court, but also sent the initiative to Emperor Xinglong, which further satisfied Han Xun's wishes. Since then, he has retreated and escaped from the rivers and lakes, and no longer has to be pickled by the court. Poor gas.

Killing three birds with one stone, everything was covered, except for one thing - Emperor Xinglong was kept in the dark from beginning to end, and Liu Yanzhao was not even given any room to react.

Liu Yanzhao is no longer the prince of the Eastern Palace who was so glamorous and caring about everything. Although he can't react to some things in time, it doesn't mean he can't understand them.What's more, Zhang Jingche is used to this trick. Liu Yanzhao only needs to think about the cause and effect for a while, and he will be able to understand the whole situation.

Filled with unrelieved anger, he rushed to the Tai Chi Hall angrily. When he lifted the curtain and entered, Zhang Jingche was sitting under the window, reading a volume of scriptures absorbedly.

Zhang Jingche didn't like luxury, he only wore plain clothes, and he was dressed in green bamboos, which made his complexion like snow.This man was tall and tall, a few casual sketches were enough to draw a picture, but his eyebrows and eyes were very beautiful, even if he was mocking and smiling, he still had a thrilling style.

Most of the anger that Liu Yanzhao had stored up all the way suddenly dissipated, and he felt in a trance that if he could face this person every day, he would be willing to do anything.But then, he remembered that this person ran away from him several times, remembered his audacity and arrogance, and thought that he didn't disdain imperial power and favor at all.

He raised his hand to stop the little servant who was trying to communicate, and walked closer with unhurried steps.Zhang Jingche heard the movement, but didn't bother to raise his head. He still rested his chin on one hand and raised his eyelids slightly: "Why, Your Majesty doesn't have to deal with government affairs today, so he still has the leisure to walk around?"

Liu Yanzhao thought of how many deceitful things this man had done behind his back, and his teeth itch with hatred, especially listening to his tone, he clearly expected what happened today, but he said it in such a sarcasm tone, he is an asshole. !He barely suppressed his breath, and said word by word: "The matter of Han Xun...you already know about it?"

Zhang Jingche: "It's not too early... I expected this day when you sent Xiao Heshan to the northwest."

Liu Yanzhao didn't expect this answer, he couldn't help being taken aback: "What did you say?"

"Although Han Xun was born as a secret guard, he valued friendship the most—he risked his life and changed positions in order to repay my life-saving grace; he refused to leave Beijing with me, and stayed in the court to serve the king, which is also in repayment Your Majesty's kindness," Zhang Jingche said lightly, "for a person like him, if the superior trusts him wholeheartedly, he will repay it with all his strength. But the superior uses him, guards against him, and orders him to control Youyun, The two guards in brocade clothes, while supporting the newcomers to decentralize and coerce, with Han Xun's disposition, they will not stay for long."

He raised his eyes and paused word by word: "If a man repays me with a scholar of the country, he should repay him with a scholar of the country. The king treats his ministers like dogs and horses, and expects them to confide in their hearts and swear loyalty to the death? Han Xun is not a fool!"

The words made Liu Yanzhao's seven orifices smoke, and the seven emotions that he had deliberately suppressed all these years were almost exhausted in just a few days.He gritted his back molars until he couldn't bear it anymore: "I am the Son of Heaven!"

Zhang Jingche refused to give an inch: "The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least! Your Majesty always talks about the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, why did you forget the most important sentence?"

Liu Yanzhao was speechless by him, everyone knew the way of Confucius and Mencius, and everyone would recite "the people are more important than the emperor", but no one dared to say it openly in front of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.Because everyone understands that the teachings of Confucius and Mencius are the embellishment of the era of prosperity and peace, and scholar-bureaucrats are used to embellishing the facade with the theories of sages, but few people really expect these unrealistic assumptions to come true in reality.

Liu Yanzhao's chest heaved violently, and he realized that he had never been able to please Zhang Jingche with his tongue alone.This man seemed to have a pair of penetrating eagle eyes. With a light sweep, he was able to hook out all those obscure and unspeakable thoughts, and spread them out in broad daylight.Liu Yanzhao was suddenly a little embarrassed, and turned his head angrily: "You... You are deceiving the emperor, committing crimes, and acting recklessly, and there is no reason for it!"

Zhang Jingche smiled disdainfully. He didn't take Liu Yanzhao's anger to heart at all. He lowered his head and flipped through a page of the storybook: "Why do you have to act like this? Jinyiwei and Youyunwei are two things that are always at odds." Kuai Dao, since you don’t trust Han Xun, sooner or later you will have to change the master of Dao — isn’t it right for him to give way now? Your Majesty can calmly replace him with a new one, so what’s there to be angry about?”

What he said was the truth, but Liu Yanzhao became more and more annoyed. He could hear the deep irony in Zhang Jingche's words.This man reminded him all the time that he was a mean and ungrateful king who did not deserve the loyalty of his subordinates. Liu Yanzhao wanted to refute, but the most ironic thing was that he found that he couldn't find a suitable argument.

Liu Yanzhao clenched his fists tightly, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of his chest: "You...you keep saying that you are just accusing me of being mean and ungrateful, but if I am really a foolish king who doesn't know right from wrong, you are still here Talking nonsense? I dragged you out and beheaded a long time ago!"

Zhang Jingche lowered his head and blew on the tea foam, his eyelashes forming a streak of thick ink on the edge of his cheek.He seemed to be foolishly laughed at by these words. He didn't bother to answer, but couldn't help it, and finally said: "If you didn't see that you still keep your heart, do you think I can allow you to live until now?"

Liu Yanzhao was struck by lightning, his whole body was cold from head to toe.He thought that Zhang Jingche was just harboring resentment and distrusting him, but he didn't know until today that he was full of disgust and contempt in every possible way... He even felt that he was unworthy of virtue!

Not worthy of the swearing of allegiance to the death of his subordinates, unworthy of the unyielding perseverance of his one-hearted people, and even living... all become unworthy!

Liu Yanzhao's fingers trembled and his chest was cold. He saw disdain and contempt in Zhang Jingche's eyes, and compared the Nine-Five Supreme to the most humble dust.He has never been so angry in his life, besides the anger, he also has a little guilty conscience and a little grievance, as if all the hard work and tossing and turning all these years have been wasted effort.

What's the use even if some ministers say they are "sages"?He has been thinking about the person who has been carefully keeping in his heart all these years, and he doesn't even bother to look at him!

Liu Yanzhao was so angry that he suddenly rushed forward, dragged Zhang Jingche from behind the case, and pinned him between the beds.The accompanying eunuch was startled by the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, and hastily withdrew. The huge hall was silent, only Liu Yanzhao's rapid breathing was heard.

"Is that why you look down on me?" Liu Yanzhao gritted his teeth and grinned, "Okay... okay! I treat you like a treasure, but you repay me like this. If that's the case, why should I be afraid!"

He suddenly tore Zhang Jingche's collar recklessly, as if obsessed, he just wanted to bite him and tear him apart, so that this man could never leave his side again.He even had a bewildered thought that if he broke the man's legs and locked him on the bed, he wouldn't be able to run even if he wanted to, right?

Zhang Jingche hated Liu Yanzhao's touch so much, he could have broken free, but a strange fragrance wafted from Emperor Xinglong's purse.After taking a few breaths, he felt weak all over, his hands and feet were heavy, and he was easily pushed down between the pillows.

Zhang Jingche was frightened and angry: "What did you put in your purse?"

Liu Yanzhao was expressionless: "The new fragrance from the Imperial Hospital... Don't you like to push me away the most? I visited the Tai Chi Hall last night, and you actually pushed me to Concubine Xian while I was drunk!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, he stretched out his hand to pinch Zhang Jingche's chin, forcing people to look up at him: "You hate me so much, and don't care for my favor so much? How many people are eagerly looking forward to me, but you are eager to push me away Another woman!"

Zhang Jingche felt physically disgusted. He hated Liu Yanzhao, not only because he complained about Zhang Jingsu who died in vain, but also because he hated this man's self-righteousness.Perhaps in the eyes of others, Emperor Xinglong is magnanimous and kind enough, but to Zhang Jingche, this is just a small favor from the emperor to buy people's hearts.He has a lofty heart and a deep love, which is definitely not something a golden cage can buy.

Liu Yanzhao had already ripped off his collar, Zhang Jingche's eyes were reddened by anger, but he couldn't break free no matter what.He bit the corner of his mouth to the point of blood, and heard Liu Yanzhao murmur almost raving: "Stay... as long as you stay, I can no longer favor my concubine, and I will stop asking about Han Xun's crime of running away... I will make it up to you , what I owed you before, I will compensate you!"

Zhang Jingche almost sneered, this man always talked to himself, he didn't listen to other people's words, and he didn't care about other people's wishes.He only has "occupation" and "extortion" in his mind, and he doesn't know what "equality" is or what "respect" is.

"You are His Majesty the Emperor, you can do whatever you want," Zhang Jingche made up his mind, and said coldly, almost in hatred, "but everyone has to pay for what they do...after today, I will kill you !"

Liu Yanzhao was startled by the seriousness in those words. After a brief moment of hesitation, he suddenly became angry and tore up his clothes more vigorously: "You want to kill me? Good...very good! I will lock you in the Tai Chi Hall , I want to see if you can kill me!"

He leaned down recklessly, trying to grab the warm lips and tongue. The moment he lowered his head, the back of his neck suddenly hurt, and he couldn't even make a call, so he fell straight into the darkness.

Zhang Jingche raised his head in shock, only to see a man dressed as an eunuch picked up Liu Yanzhao's collar, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, as if he wanted to tear him apart, but after hesitating for a moment, he still gently put it aside.

Zhang Jingche felt familiar from his overly tall stature, but still couldn't believe it: "You are..."

The man turned to him, and took off a mask as thin as silk from his face. Underneath was an unforgettable face, even if it turned into ashes, Zhang Jingche could recognize it at a glance.

His bitterness towards Liu Yanzhao disappeared immediately, and he felt guilty and aggrieved for no reason: "...Yuan Zhou!"

Yang Fan lowered his head and stared at Zhang Jingche through gritted teeth. For a moment, he hated this man to the core.He couldn't help but think how hard-hearted it must be to allow himself to endure the fear and lovesickness these days.The most damning thing was that he thought Zhang Jingche had all the plans and everything in his hands, but after he ventured into the deep palace, he saw such a scene!

"If I didn't come today," Yang Fan couldn't help asking himself, "what would he do?"

Marquis Dingbian didn't dare to think about it, but he couldn't think about it. At this time, he looked at Zhang Jingche one more time, and he was so desperate. If he didn't want to look at it, he couldn't stand the disaster and struggled to raise his hand, with two fingers entangled in his clothes. Sleeves, shaking lightly: "Yuanzhou, look at me..."

Yang Fan snatched back his sleeve, so angry that he didn't want to talk to him.

Zhang Jingche became more and more wronged: "I feel uncomfortable...I can't get up."

Yang Fan couldn't hold back any longer, all his worries and fears along the way were seduced by these light words, he suddenly lowered his head, and kissed Zhang Jingche almost fiercely.Like a hungry wolf, he held the soft prey between his lips and tongue, playing tricks repeatedly like a cat playing with a mouse.

Zhang Jingche gathered his strength for a long time, finally raised a hand, put it weakly on the back of Dingbianhou's neck, and squeezed it soothingly.The force was not heavy, but Yang Fan calmed down inexplicably. He raised his head, hugged Zhang Jingche with trembling hands, and pressed him close to his heart.

"I'm here," he whispered, "You said that you can only snatch what you fancy, so I'll take you away!"

The palace is heavily guarded, but there are countless hidden secret passages hidden in the numerous halls, which were left over from the previous dynasty, and were accidentally discovered by You Yunwei. After several investigations, a complete map was drawn, which should have been handed over to Liu Yanzhao Lord, but because of Han Xun's selfish selfishness of being inhumane, he was detained.

Perhaps the commander in Korea just wanted to leave a way out for himself, but this selfishness solved Zhang Jingche's predicament without a coincidence.

When Liu Yanzhao woke up, Zhang Jingche had disappeared.Emperor Xinglong never expected that the thieves would sneak into the heavily guarded palace and not only knocked out the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, but also robbed the "imperial" in a grandiose manner.

For a moment, Emperor Xinglong didn't know which was more shocking and indignant, "I was knocked out by the assassin" or "the assassin robbed Zhang Jingche under my nose". Wei Ze searched and arrested in the middle of the capital, making sure to bring him back unscathed.

However, Zhang Jingche has been operating in Beijing for many years, and the roots he has planted are far beyond Han Xun's imagination. Even though You Yunwei dug three feet into the ground, he still hasn't found any traces.

Once again, Liu Yanzhao could only watch that person disappear into the depths of the vast crowd, even though he was filled with remorse and furious, it still didn't help.

"Zhang Jingche... Zhang Jingche!" Liu Yanzhao filled every word with resentment, "You think you can escape? I... I will always catch you back!"

Zhang Jingche was very aware of the consequences of his sudden disappearance, but at this moment, he had no choice.Dingbianhou was like an enraged beast, holding his prey in his mouth and refusing to let go. He ignored Zhang Jingche's persuasion and forcibly took him out of Miyagi.

Zhang Jingche dared to show his minions to Emperor Xinglong, but he absolutely didn't dare to tease the angry Dingbianhou, so he could only suppress his objections, and aggrievedly admitted his cowardice.

Zhang Jingche was under the effect of the medicine, and lost consciousness halfway through the walk. When he woke up, he had changed places.There is a big soft bed under him, and the hanging flower curtains are scattered above his head. This scene is very familiar, and it is clearly one of You Yunwei's strongholds in Beijing.

What was different from the past was that his two wrists were tied to the bed rail by cloth strips.
