Volume 2 Luoyang Xing Chapter 115 Bundle of interests
The "Listening Songju" is very spacious, and it is empty, except for a few futons, there is almost nothing else.
Zhang Changzong's eyes were red, and he stood on the ground, holding a long leather whip in his hand, and he shook it vigorously for a while, and the tip of the whip made a light and crisp sound.
Seeing Lu Xiaoxian enter the house, Zhang Changzong's face was manic, and he yelled at him: "Whoever asked you to come in, get out of here!" β
Lu Xiaoxian was not in a hurry or annoyed, looking at him calmly, with pity and disdain on his face.
Zhang Changzong was enraged by Lu Xiaoxian's provocative gaze, and the leather whip in his hand covered his head with the sound of the wind.
Lu Xiaoxian didn't dodge, he reached out and grabbed the leather whip, and the tip of the whip was obediently held between his thumb and index finger.
Zhang Changzong's anger was even hotter in his heart, and he wanted to withdraw the leather whip and teach him a hard lesson, but no matter how hard he tried, the leather whip seemed to grow in Lu Xiaoxian's hands, and he couldn't pull it at all.
Lu Xiaoxian shook his head slightly, sighed and said: "The heart is higher than the sky, the life is thinner than paper, and I don't know it when I die." Wretched! Lamentable! Alas! β
Lu Xiaoxian looked at Zhang Changzong's gaze like a lamb to the slaughter, which made Zhang Changzong a little crazy. He threw down his whip and cursed like a splash, and then rushed towards Lu Xiaoxian viciously.
"Rokuro! Stop," a voice came from the door.
Zhang Changzong seemed to be stunned, and rushed to Lu Xiaoxian regardless of it.
A figure quickly flashed over, grabbed Zhang Changzong's collar, and slapped him twice in the face.
Zhang Changzong stopped at this time and looked at Zhang Yizhi in front of him in a daze.
After a while, he burst into tears. Zhang Changzong was very sad, and seemed to want to pour out all the grievances.
Is this still the suave sixth brother at the beginning?
Seeing Zhang Changzong's appearance, Zhang Yizhi's eyes turned red, and tears fell down.
Lu Xiaoxian looked at the two Zhang brothers coldly, and sighed with emotion in his heart, and understood their confusion and helplessness at the moment.
Back then, when he first crossed over, he also had such helplessness. It is called that the heavens are not spiritual, and the earth and the earth should not be, this is the cruelty of life and fate.
After a long time, Zhang Changzong finally stopped crying.
Zhang Yizhi noticed Lu Xiaoxian standing in front of him, and he asked in surprise: "Master Lu, why are you here?" β
Obviously, Lu Xiaoxian left a deep impression on Zhang Yizhi and recognized him at a glance.
Lu Xiaoxian waited for Zhang Yizhi to ask this, and he smiled faintly: "Zhang Gongzi, don't come to harm?" β
"Fifth brother!" Zhang Changzong wiped his tears and looked at Zhang Yizhi, "Do you know him?" β
Zhang Yizhi nodded: "You forgot, I told you last time that there is a genius in the autumn wind, and it is this Lu Gongzi!" β
"Mr. Lu?" Zhang Changzong asked Lu Xiaoxian with a blank face, "Why are you in our house?" β
"I begged Master Li Qianli to send me to the house as a slave!" Lu Xiaoxian looked harmless to humans and animals, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to save the lives of your brothers!" β
"Save our lives?" Zhang Yizhi became more and more strange, "Master Lu, I don't know if you can say it in detail!" β
Lu Xiaoxian looked around left and right, and smiled: "Gongzi Zhang, can you allow me to sit down, let's talk slowly?" β
Zhang Yizhi nodded hurriedly, pointed to the futon next to him and said, "Master Lu, please take a seat!" β
Lu Xiaoxian was also not polite, and sat cross-legged on the futon.
Zhang Yizhi sat down with him, and when he saw that Zhang Changzong was still standing there stupidly, he glanced at him, and Zhang Changzong came to his senses and sat aside.
Lu Xiaoxian cleared his throat and asked bluntly: "Zhang Gongzi, do you think that as a dignified man, it is too undignified to be a male pet for a woman?" Do you think that it is too embarrassing to serve an old woman at an age in the prime of life? β
Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's question, Zhang Changzong's face showed a painful expression, he glared at Lu Xiaoxian with hatred, this is obviously revealing people's scars!
Zhang Yizhi couldn't help frowning.
Lu Xiaoxian ignored the change in the expressions of the two of them, and continued to take care of himself: "If you really think so, then I can tell you clearly that your death is not far away!" β
"Even if you die, you're better than you are now!" Zhang Changzong finally couldn't help but roar.
"Oh!" Lu Xiaoxian deliberately lengthened his tone, "Since you think so, then I have nothing to say!" β
Zhang Changzong stood up with a snort and walked out of the door.
Zhang Yizhi reprimanded Zhang Changzong: "You sit down for me!" β
Zhang Changzong glanced at Lu Xiaoxian, then at Zhang Yizhi, and sat down again in a huff.
"Master Lu!" Zhang Yizhi tried his best to calm his emotions, slowed down his tone and asked, "We would like to hear about it!" β
"Although Your Majesty is a woman, and she is an old woman, she is not an ordinary woman, how many people have died at her hands! You have a grudge against her every day, how can she not feel it? Now she can still endure you, if one day she doesn't want to endure, then think about it, what will be the consequences? β
When the Zhang brothers heard this, their faces couldn't help but change.
Lu Xiaoxian was right, they only cared about their own feelings, and completely forgot that the Majesty they served was a female demon king who killed people without blinking.
"Even if Your Majesty is merciful and lets you go, you can't escape death!" Lu Xiaoxian continued, "Take the national teacher Xue Huaiyi as an example, you have Your Majesty's favor and he still has some scruples, if you don't have Your Majesty, what will happen to the two of you if you fall into his hands?" β
The Zhang brothers' faces changed again, and the scene that came out of the palace in the morning seemed to be right in front of them. As Lu Xiaoxian said, if there is no His Majesty as a backer, wouldn't Xue Huaiyi want to ......
None of them dared to think any further.
"Even if you have escaped Xue Huaiyi's catastrophe, do you still expect to be a high-ranking scholar like you did at the beginning?" Lu Xiaoxian shook his head and said, "You are too naΓ―ve to think, just because the scholars of the world criticize you and criticize you, you can't face it, this is no different from death!" β
Zhang Yizhi couldn't help but close his eyes, his mind was full of the appearance of those scholars sneering at them. He couldn't help sighing, although what Lu Xiaoxian said was very polite, it was the truth. Sometimes once you take that step, you can't go back.
"There are also Di Renjie, Lai Junchen, Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi, Princess Taiping, and even the imperial heir Li Dan, these people, you may be safe when you are in power, once you fall out of favor, which one of you steps on you, you will not have a way to live!"
"That's it! Stop it! Zhang Yizhi interrupted Lu Xiaoxian, "Master Lu, I understand what you said!" You tell me, what are we going to do? β
"It's easy! Now that you are on this boat, let's be in the same boat and dock smoothly with this boat! Lu Xiaoxian said, "With Your Majesty's favor, you will have everything, if you don't have Your Majesty's favor, there is only a dead end." Therefore, what you have to do is not to make a false deal with Your Majesty, but to please her from the bottom of your heart! β
"But ......," Zhang Yizhi asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty is almost eighty years old, if she ......?"
Although Zhang Yizhi's words were not finished, how could Lu Xiaoxian not understand what he meant.
Lu Xiaoxian smiled: "With Your Majesty's favor and trust, in her lifetime, you don't have to be afraid of Xue Huaiyi first." Then, through your efforts, do a few things that will benefit the scholars, and those scholars will of course be grateful to you two brothers. As for Di Renjie, Lai Junchen, Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi, Princess Taiping, and Li Dan, in the process of getting along, pay attention to planting more flowers and less thorns, and say more good things about them in front of His Majesty at critical moments, which of them will not accept your affection? Even if Your Majesty does return to heaven in the future, you will go ashore safely! β
Lu Xiaoxian's words were very thorough, and it seemed to open a window in the hearts of the Zhang brothers.
Yes! Since you can't fight, it's better to face reality. With such a bright future, why complain and sigh all day long?
After listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, the Zhang brothers suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
"Master Lu, our brother is indeed a little bit of a bull!" Zhang Yizhi felt that he had opened his mind, and humbly asked for advice: "Through getting along these days, I feel that His Majesty's mind is difficult to guess, and it is not difficult to get her favor, but it is not so simple to get His Majesty's trust." β
"You are right, although Your Majesty loves you now, it is not yet to the point of trust. As for how to gain His Majesty's trust, that's something you should ponder. I can only tell you how to tell if Your Majesty has trusted you! Lu Xiaoxian didn't hide his selfishness, "It's very simple! As long as His Majesty is willing to give you a promotion, it means that he trusts you, and the sooner you are promoted, the more trust you have! β
Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxian paused, "Your Majesty not only named Xue Huaiyi as the national teacher, but also worshiped him as the general of Zhengsanpin Zuo Weiwei and gave him the title of Duke of Liangguo." You know, he turned out to be just an ordinary monk, you think, what does that mean? β
Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong fell into deep thought, they didn't notice that Lu Xiaoxian had an imperceptible smile on his face.
The reason why Lu Xiaoxian wanted to help the Zhang brothers untie their hearts was not because of their kindness, nor because they had much affection for them, but because they had another purpose. He is not familiar with the life in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and it is definitely not possible to really stand on his own.
His idea is very simple: that is, the interests are bundled, and the Zhang brothers are pushed to gain power, and of course they will rise.
It was also for this purpose that Lu Xiaoxian asked Li Qianli to send him to Zhang's mansion.
But judging from the current mentality of the Zhang brothers, the difficulty coefficient of achieving power is at least five stars. So, he had to help them open their hearts. As long as they pass the psychological level, with their brothers' abilities, it will be easy to gain power through the "beauty trick". In real history, the Zhang brothers are also characters who call for wind and rain
There is no risk to Lu Xiaoxian in doing this, just the straw rope you tie to the hairy crab, whatever the price of the hairy crab, the straw rope will be the price. Therefore, bundling for a win-win situation is an excellent strategy.
