Chapter one hundred and seventy-fifth words are not speculative
"Have a drink?" Zhang Xutang raised his glass to King Jin.
King Jin waved his hand: "No need."
Zhang Xutang took back his hand: "Yes, we are not in a relationship where we can toast, but today is a special day, so I will give this cup to Queen Pei."
After that, he put the cup into his mouth, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking, a blush appeared on his face at first, and then the blood on his face quickly receded and became extremely pale.
Like King Jin, he was seriously injured. Drinking alcohol would make the injury worse, but no one cared.
King Jin raised his head while holding the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhang Xutang picked up the chopsticks, picked at the table, and finally ate a chopstick of eggs, then handed the cup to Huang Ting, indicating that he would fill it up for himself.
"It's been ten years. When Queen Pei was here, who would dare not remember the day of her birthday? Death is like a lamp going out. Ten years later, who would dare to remember the day of Queen Pei's birthday?"
King Jin turned the wine glass and said nothing.
Zhang Xutang continued to eat selectively, but changed the wine to sips, and his face turned white and red, changing like a spirit.
"Since I went to Tanzhou, in the past six months, I have really devoted myself to you, Your Majesty——"
The King of Jin sneered: "Do I still want to thank Yanei for caring so much about me?"
Zhang Xutang took a sip of wine and said, "You're welcome. You've seen my past failures. I made such a big fuss that I couldn't do anything to you in the end, so I came to make peace."
Hearing Zhang Xutang say that he wanted to make peace, King Jin rubbed his cup and his expression became colder.
Zhang Xutang said without him asking, "You must be thinking why we have to make peace if we want to, but being peaceful is good for both of us."
"benefit?"
"Yes, the good thing is that our Zhang family can rest and recuperate, and you can take this opportunity to show off your talents and occupy a place in the court."
Without waiting for the King of Jin's answer, Zhang Xutang continued: "We have already made concessions. None of the officials escorted to Beijing in connection with the Yechang incident were protected by our Zhang family. Even Li Lin gave up.
Li Lin is a broken arm for us."
"It's just Li Lin, it doesn't count as a broken arm. As long as the imperial concubine and the prime minister are here, there will be countless Li Lin's servants who will take the lead for the Zhang family."
"But none of them are as loyal as Li Lin, and they are not as bold as Li Lin." Zhang Xutang drank the wine in his glass. "Your Majesty, making peace does not mean that the grudges between us have been wiped out, but it means that I will abide by the rules."
Rules, no more manipulation behind your back."
The existence of Zhang Xutang is the key to allowing everyone in the Zhang family to move forward lightly.
He doesn't abide by the rules and can cut through the mess with a sharp knife. He thinks what ordinary people dare not think and does what ordinary people dare not do.
He is the most powerful weapon and the biggest variable of the Zhang family. Once he starts to follow the rules, the entire Zhang family loses its sharpness and becomes dull. Coupled with the large number of people and huge body, it feels cumbersome.
King Jin signaled Huang Ting to pour him a glass of wine, took a slow sip, and smiled at Zhang Xutang.
"If I don't make peace, I don't care if the rules in the yamen are unruly. If you don't behave, I will still live. It's just a little harder. But my life has always been difficult. It doesn't matter how difficult it is. But in the yamen
If we can really relax the rules, that would be even better, because in this way, what Ezuki and I have to do will become easier."
Zhang Xutang listened but did not answer.
The King of Jin added: "Also, there are rules in the yamen and the Zhang family needs to retreat. I don't know if my second brother will agree. When he was the dominant one in Kyoto, he never entered the East Palace. Now that I have returned to the capital, he may
You are getting more and more anxious. According to my observation, the second brother seems to be a little irritable. If he knew that the leader of the Yamen would withdraw and the position in the East Palace that was easily available to him would be given up, he might not be able to spare you."
Zhang Xutang was silent for a long time, and finally said: "The prince speaks clearly and clearly. Even King Yan has considered it for me. However, I'm afraid what you and Song Huiyue want to do are different."
"Same."
Zhang Xutang shook his head: "It's different. You want the world, but Song Huiyue only wants one-third of an acre. How can it be the same?"
The King of Jin smiled and said: "The world naturally contains one-third of an acre, but there are small ones among the big ones, and there is me among you."
Zhang Xutang sighed: "Since the prince refuses to give in, then I have nothing to say, but no matter whether the prince gives in or not, I will still do what I want to do, the Zhang family will still retreat, and I will still change."
You have to behave yourself, but this kind of rules is only for you, the prince, and Song Huiyue..."
He smiled and stopped talking.
Prince Jin also smiled: "She doesn't care about your rules either."
Zhang Xutang nodded, thinking that King Jin was right. Song Huiyue was so stubborn. Once she made up her mind about something, even the nine-headed ox could not pull her back.
He had eaten and drank enough, and even ran out of things to say, so he had nothing to say, so he called Xiao Wei and lay on Xiao Wei's back.
Before leaving, he clutched his heart and felt pain for a while. The pain caused him to break into a cold sweat. After the pain passed, he said to Prince Jin: "Your Highness, I think you and I are obsessed with Song Huiyue."
After that, he bowed his hands to King Jin and said goodbye.
Today's conversation between him and Prince Jin ended here. This was their first conversation, and it might be their last. It seemed like it was all in vain, but he was quite satisfied.
Because at least he knew that King Jin got what he wanted.
When King Jin mentioned Song Huiyue, his attitude, tone, and demeanor all regarded Song Huiyue as a part of him. He and Song Huiyue were like you and me, and it was not his wishful thinking when he was in Tanzhou.
, Song Huiyue still avoided suspicion everywhere.
Zhang Xutang is very satisfied with this, because the closer the two of them are, the more beneficial it is to him.
The reason why King Jin is difficult to kill is simply because he and his people, as well as Song Huiyue and her guards, form an impeccable iron plate. As long as their natural alliance is resolved, everything will be easy to handle.
King Jin asked Huang Ting to see the guests off, and he drank a few more drinks alone. He drank intermittently. He felt that his mind was no longer clear, so he stopped immediately, leaned on the back of his chair, and sat in silence.
He knew that Zhang Xutang wanted to be a coward, not because he really wanted to retreat and to abide by the rules, but because he had other purposes. But if Zhang Xutang wanted to retreat, he couldn't just follow Zhang Xutang's bastard shell and force the bastard.
Pull the head out.
All we can do is be more prepared.
While he was thinking, there was suddenly a sound of light footsteps outside the house, it was Song Huiyue.
King Jin stood up with his cheeks on fire and wanted to go out to greet him. However, he stood up too hastily and tripped over the leg of the table. He immediately fell down and hit his head on the corner of the table. Stars were popping in his eyes and he couldn't stand up for a moment.
He heard Xie Zhou's chirping voice again and quickly struggled to stand up.
If Xie Zhou saw him like this, he would definitely grin with that dog's mouth, and he wouldn't want his face anymore.
However, he had just climbed halfway when the door was already opened.
Xie Zhou and Song Huiyue looked at the situation in front of them and were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths. Xie Zhou was so shocked that he couldn't spit out the ivory from his mouth. He opened his mouth and said loudly: "Huang Douzhi, come quickly! The prince fell and the dog eats shit!"
