"Brother Zhang, can you take a moment to speak?" Fu Yuzhi didn't care about Zhang Biwu's cold attitude at all and asked.
Frowning, Zhang Biwu said calmly: "Come with me."
After saying that, Zhang Biwu took Fu Yuzhi into the house.
He came to a pavilion in the backyard, waited for the servants to serve tea, and then waved away, leaving only Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi in the entire backyard.
"Say it."
Zhang Biwu lowered his head to drink tea and said in a neutral tone: "What did Zhao Xuanji ask you to do?"
Fu Yuzhi thought for a while and said: "Brother Zhang, you and I are advancing and retreating together. There has been no change for decades. Why is Brother Zhang so cold now?"
Zhang Biwu sneered: "Advance and retreat together? What does it mean to advance and retreat together? It has always been that Zhao Xuanji advances when he wants to, and Zhao Xuanji retreats when he wants to. When did I ask you and me for my opinion?"
"Now I don't want to endure it anymore, it's just that simple."
Fu Yuzhi shook his head and said, "Brother Zhang, your words can deceive others, but you can't deceive me."
"Do you still remember that twenty-six years ago, when I was still a small official in Qingzhou, you came to me and said that you wanted to pursue a bright future with me, and the person you recommended was Zhao Xuanji, who was still unknown at that time.
"
"I think Zhao Xuanji is a man with deep thoughts and a deep city. He knows that he is definitely no match for him, so he wants to stay away from him. What did you tell me at that time?"
Zhang Biwu's eyelids twitched and he said nothing.
Fu Yuzhi saw this and asked himself: "You told me at that time that the territory of Da Qin was no less than ten thousand miles across. On such a vast territory, not to mention those who were crouching tigers and hidden dragons, they were also officials of the imperial court. The total number was
No less than tens of thousands, these tens of thousands are all the elite among the elite, and everyone wants to climb up."
"But one person's power is always limited. You and I have no elders like princes, generals or ministers in our families, and we have no relatives who are rich enough to rival the country. We can only climb up step by step on our own."
"If you don't find someone who is ruthless enough and rich enough to join forces with you, how can you get ahead in the Year of the Monkey? If you don't get ahead, you will waste your life at fifty or sixty, and then be ordered by a decree to retire and return to your hometown. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to live like this in this world?
Once?"
Fu Yuzhi looked at Zhang Biwu with burning eyes and said, "It was after listening to your words that I made up my mind to defect to Mr. Ge together with you. This also led to the rise of you and me in the following decades."
"But now, why have you changed?"
Zhang Biwu turned his head and did not dare to look at Fu Yuzhi.
He sighed and said: "Brother Fu, it's not that I have changed, but many things have forced me to make new choices."
Fu Yuzhi said sincerely: "If you have any difficulties, you can tell me and I will do my best to help you."
Zhang Biwu turned to look at Fu Yuzhi and asked: "Among us, you have the best fate. You have both children and a good home. So you have long wanted to stay away from these right and wrongs. Why are you doing this now?"
Eager?”
Fu Yuzhi smiled bitterly and said: "I want to stay away from right and wrong, but the premise is that right and wrong will not take the initiative to find me. The only prerequisite for my safe ending is that the elder of the cabinet wins and the cabinet wins. Otherwise, how can the prince let me go and how can the East Palace let me go?"
How can anyone in the world let me go?"
Zhang Biwu looked at Fu Yuzhi and said after a long time: "This is what he said from the bottom of his heart."
"Brother Zhang and I have always been honest with each other." Fu Yuzhi said in a deep voice.
