Of course, there is no need to say much about the relationship between him and Yining, now Xu Ji really can't take care of these things, in the end, Xu Ji is still a person who takes official affairs first, not to mention that what Xu Ji needs to consider most now is Luoyang's trouble with his predicament.

Of course, in fact, Xu Ji soon found out that trouble was coming to the door again, and Zhang Rang's sudden finding of himself at this time made Xu Ji feel a little unstable, but Xu Ji did not refuse, and the reason is not difficult to explain, Zhang Rang must be looking for himself at this time because he has a request, and Xu Ji himself is also very curious about what Zhang Rang has done.

Zhang Rang's mood has also been very bad recently, for him, the world clan behind He Jin has brought him a lot of trouble, and what's worse is that there is no good way for him, in the end, he doesn't have He Jin's such convenient conditions to attract the favor of these clans, of course, this is not ruled out because of his identity as a eunuch, but for Zhang Rang, this is no longer the time to deal with these clans.

Just when Zhang Rang was thinking about his next plan, Xu Ji also arrived at Zhang Rang's house, and seeing Zhang Rang's current appearance also made Xu Ji a little surprised, Zhang Rang, who originally looked quite rich, was already a little haggard. After seeing Xu Ji arrive, Zhang Rang immediately began to talk about his purpose for looking for Xu Ji without any delay: "Wen Lie, do you know why the slave family is looking for you?" Although Xu Ji had some guesses, he pretended not to know and replied: "I don't know, please show me the waiter." ”

The reason why Xu Ji put his position so low is also to give Zhang Rang an illusion first, of course, this may not be so useful to people like Zhang Rang, but the significance of the statement is to gain an attitude advantage, not to mention that Xu Ji is really not sure what Zhang Rang wants to say.

Zhang Rang didn't have too much change in expression, but said smoothly: "I'm afraid the slave family can't stop him." Does the colt know about the situation in Luoyang today? Xu Ji was indifferent when he heard this, and then smiled: "Naturally, I know." I'm afraid that the situation of the regular servant is even worse than Wen Lie's, but it seems that there is no need to come to me for this matter? ”

Of course, Xu Ji knew that for such a small matter, Zhang Rang would never come here to talk about this. I'm afraid that Zhang Rang has really made a move, to put it bluntly, what Xu Ji really cares about is what Zhang Rang will do, since it must not be easy to find himself, otherwise how can he call himself to his house.

Sure enough, Zhang Rang really didn't have the patience, Xu Ji's inconsequential appearance was of course fake, but Zhang Rang really didn't have the interest to grind with Xu Ji: "Isn't Wen Lie worried?" ”

And Xu Ji's heart is naturally not as plain as he became, so why don't he worry about his situation, but of course Xu Ji knows that the more he doesn't care, the more advantage he can take advantage of Zhang Rang's hands, and there is no doubt that since Zhang Rang has found himself, it means that others will not be able to help him. The more he doesn't cooperate, the more benefits he can get from it, or in other words, Xu Ji is just making his bargaining chip more important.

In this way, Xu Ji's face was naturally calmer, and he even replied with a smile: "Chang Shi said that he was laughing, so what does it matter to me?" I am a big man, that is, He Jinzhen can't tolerate me and lose my official position and military power in time, Xu Wenlie's heart is not big, but I want to be able to do it enough. Now that he has taken this position, it is also the strength of Lord Chang Shi, and Wen Lie never seems to have said that he has any desire for the position of Jin Wu. ”

Of course, this is not true at all, but Xu Ji himself knows that Zhang Rang does not know. Indeed, as Xu Ji said, he never expressed his desire for the position of Zhijinwu or the Northern Army, and even Xu Ji was able to become Zhijinwu, but he Zhang Rang forcibly installed it on Xu Ji's head in order to avoid He Jin's power from further growing. What's more, no matter whether Xu Ji said it sincerely or not, as long as he gave up the power in his hands, He Jin would definitely not be able to harm him, but since Zhang Rang found Xu Ji, he would definitely not give up so easily.

"Don't want to bully the old slave and the old man is dizzy, that is, the position of the Northern Army is not enough to worry the horse. What about those elite soldiers in the West Garden? That's the training of the horses, all of them are soldiers who have been by the horses since they stayed in Wancheng and have been by the horses' side since they were in Wancheng, so don't the horses really care at all? Zhang Rang still didn't say his purpose, just made a fuss. But Xu Ji really saw through this guy's thoughts, in fact, Xu Ji was not unable to admit calmly that it was impossible for him to give up the power in his hands. It's just that at this time, once you take the soft, you will lose your right to speak in everything, and Xu Ji doesn't care about the victory or defeat in momentum. But the right to speak is worth a detour between him and Zhang Rang, anyway, Yin Ning is already willing to leave, so Xu Ji's back road is always there, and he is not in a hurry.

Zhang Rang saw that Xu Ji didn't pay attention to his words at all, and he knew that Xu Ji would definitely not have any change in his attitude if he continued to consume Xu Ji, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "The horse is worthy of being a young man, and the old slave can't get any cheap here." Well, let's talk openly and honestly, both the colt and the old slave know that this will not do you and me any good, it is nothing more than that the old slave has abandoned this old life, and the colt is afraid that he will lose the power in his hands now, and this is probably not the result that the colt wants, right? ”

Zhang Rang told the truth, Xu Ji naturally didn't have the idea of taking advantage of it, and now it is the enemy, it is much more cost-effective to have Zhang Rang in front than Xu Ji to stand on the front line to fight against this behemoth under the command of the general, so Xu Ji also smiled and replied humbly: "Chang Shi praised, if Wen Lie really has the ability, how can he fall into the current situation?" As the Chang Shi said, who wants to let go of the power in their hands? What's more, He Jin will definitely not tolerate me, I offended this general a little too ruthlessly, and I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to protect me at that time, but I don't know what countermeasures the permanent servant has? ”

Since both of them said openly and honestly that everything is still negotiable, for Zhang Rang, the situation he faced was much worse than Xu Ji, Xu Ji put it bluntly, He Jin still didn't take him seriously, which also led to the fact that even though the group of descendants behind He Jin was impatient, no one wanted to trouble Xu Ji, but Zhang Rang was completely different, and the hatred of the party and Qingliu towards eunuchs had existed almost since ancient times. Not to mention that the second disaster of the party was actually instigated by Zhang Rang, so you can imagine what a dangerous situation Zhang Rang is facing. To be honest, Xu Ji admired this eunuch who played a big game of chess. In the face of such a situation, he can still be calm, and this bearing alone is enough to be admired.

After hearing Xu Ji's answer, Zhang Rang didn't immediately say his plan, but asked, "Wen Lie, do you know where the most critical point of the current situation in Luoyang is?" Although the question was simple, Xu Ji found that he never seemed to think about it. It doesn't matter if Xu Ji doesn't think about it, he doesn't pay attention to it in the bureau, but no matter what, Xu Ji ignores this problem, and it seems a little reluctant to explain it with the impatience of the party, Xu Ji was indeed a little anxious about his own predicament before, but now that he thinks about it, he really doesn't know what the reason for this is, so Xu Ji frowned and asked: "Chang Shi only said that it is, Wen Lie never found out." ”

Zhang Rang replied with a smile on his face: "Wen Lie is young after all, so everything should naturally start from the overall situation. How can we achieve great things by focusing only on what is in front of us? The situation in Luoyang has taken a sharp turn for you and me is by no means because the party and Qingliu are dissatisfied with our ten permanent servants, but because they see that there is an opportunity to take advantage of the matter of His Majesty's succession, and then His Majesty's delay in making a decision is naturally contrary to their interests, so why not simply force His Majesty to make a decision? It is necessary to know that the ten permanent servants are close attendants, and the action against the old slaves and others is nothing more than to warn His Majesty, don't underestimate their abilities. Speaking of this, Zhang Rang glanced at Xu Ji with a smile, of course Xu Ji knew that Zhang Rang meant that he was implicated in the two princes, but Zhang Rang did not dwell on this matter and continued: "There is another reason, that is, your rise is too fast. Although the main purpose of this time is to target me, but there is no idea of solving the problem in passing, the horse has been promoted rapidly in less than half a year in Luoyang, and now he is in the position of Jiuqing at a young age. This has already posed a huge threat to these parties and Qingliu, and it is enough for the powerful minister He Jin to be easily controlled, and it is not difficult to see that he is an uncontrollable character in his actions. In the future, the colt will become a great problem in their hearts, and it is better to strangle it now than to be subject to the colt in the future. ”

Zhang Rang's words are indeed simple to understand. The reason for everything is finally clear through this line, as Zhang Rang said. What the party and Qingliu are most afraid of are an uncontrolled minister, which is obviously extremely inconvenient for the clan behind them to seek benefits, even if they are far from being a minister, but they have already shown such a threat, as long as it is a threat to these guys, they must be eliminated. This can certainly explain why Zhang Rang is also a person they can't tolerate, to put it bluntly, it's the same reason, Zhang Rang's right to speak above the court can almost compete with He Jin's court, even if Zhang Rang's actual status is low, but this undoubtedly makes the party and Qingliu have many goals that cannot be achieved, which is why they are so eager to dispose of themselves and Zhang Rang.

After Xu Ji figured this, he couldn't help but suddenly realize, this is why he was forcibly pushed to the position of Jinwu in the first place, He Jin's side needs people who can place him in such a position, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is to share the benefits to those party members and Qingliu who support He Jin, and Zhang Rang will naturally never let He Jin become bigger, and these forces that support He Jin are naturally absolutely not allowed to enter the court, but this just happened to Liu Hong's mind, Liu Hong is thinking about how to get back the power that belongs to him as the emperor, Xu Ji happened to be pushed into such a position of a three-party power dispute.

But after thinking about this, Xu Ji couldn't help but have another question, that is, according to Zhang Rang's statement, the power in Xu Ji's hands was almost bound to be lost, at least Xu Ji didn't find any way to preserve his authority, Xu Ji didn't think that Zhang Rang would have any good ideas, but what was Zhang Rang's purpose in finding himself?

"What do you have in mind? In Wen Lie's opinion, there seems to be no solution to this situation, but Wen Lie is inexperienced after all, so I don't know what solution Chang Lie has? Xu Ji still said this with the intention of temptation, and he never dared to have ten percent trust in Zhang Tian, the impression left on Xu Ji by this guy who once planned himself was too bad, so Xu Ji still asked cautiously.

And Zhang Rang turned his back and replied in a low voice: "There is no perfect strategy, Wen Lie, there is never a perfect plan in this world." There will inevitably be people who will have to sacrifice, but in the past you may have only sacrificed the interests and lives of others. But there will come a time when you have to sacrifice something. Zhang Rang's deep voice did not have the yin and yang weirdness of a eunuch, but had a meaning similar to Sima Hui's teacher. And Xu Ji frowned even more when he heard this. He thought about this matter from beginning to end, and it seemed that no matter what he sacrificed, he couldn't solve the trouble of this situation, so what was Zhang Rang saying these words for?

Zhang Rang didn't give Xu Ji more time to think, so after he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Xu Ji and said again: "Literature, Zhang Rang has something to ask for." "Xu Ji has never talked about this side of Zhang Rang, where is Zhang Rang's cringe and cowardice at this time? The sharp cold light in Zhang Rang's eyes was about to pierce Xu Ji, and Xu Ji even felt as shocking as if he was facing the cliff at the top of the majestic mountain.

But even if Xu Ji was shocked by Zhang Rang, he didn't agree immediately, but frowned and asked: "You might as well say it first, Wen Lie doesn't know if Lu Dao can be done, and it's not a good thing to make a promise." And Zhang Rang didn't have any dissatisfaction because Xu Ji said this, but said with a smile: "It's also done." Zhang Rang still has a family in Yingchuan, since Zhang Rang became this eunuch, he no longer dares to contact his family, this time but Zhang Rang's unfortunate death of the old slave's family asked Wen Lie to take care of it, I don't know if it can? ”

Hearing this, Xu Ji smiled noncommittally and said, "How can Chang Shi be sure that Wen Lie will definitely survive? Even if Wen Lie was lucky enough to escape, he was afraid that he would have no power, so why would he take care of his family? Xu Ji didn't want to refuse, Zhang Rang was almost going to explain the future, for such a person, the so-called dying words are also good, Xu Ji can see that Zhang Rang is already dead. I'm afraid there are still a lot of articles here, but Xu Ji hasn't understood it yet.

After hearing Xu Ji's answer, Zhang Rang smiled contemptuously and said: "Don't worry about the horse, if it really comes to that point, the old slave will never let the horse have any loss." He Jin has never been in the eyes of the old slave. The same must be true for colts. Xu Ji naturally has no reason to refuse, as Zhang Rang said, Xu Ji has never regarded a mere butcher as an opponent. And since Zhang Rang has made such a promise, it is obvious that he definitely has a way to keep the power in his hands, so why not take care of his family for him?

However, Xu Ji then asked again: "So." What exactly is the Attendant going to do? Is there anything Wen Lie can help with? Xu Ji's words were indeed sincere, and Zhang Rang was already determined to die. And the previous words are also considered to be the grace of teaching to himself, Xu Ji has always been a person who is grateful for kindness, Zhang Rang's previous intention to harm himself was even if he returned it in the previous words, but the assurance to himself after that was obviously not enough to make up for it by taking care of his family instead of Zhang Rang, and Xu Ji had a faint hunch that Zhang Rang's plan was definitely not a simple matter, I am afraid this is why Zhang Rang wanted to die.

When Zhang Rang heard this, he only smiled playfully and said, "The old slave assured the horse that this is definitely not the answer that the horse wants to know. It's better to have nothing to do with this of the colt this time, otherwise I'm afraid it will be quite unfavorable to the colt. Hearing this, Xu Ji was shocked, if it is really as Zhang Rang said, then I am afraid it is a matter of human life, and naturalization can solve this matter only He Jin is no longer alive!

After Xu Ji thought of this possibility, his face was full of astonishment and said, "...... the waiter?" Xu Ji didn't say that key sentence, but seeing the relieved look on Zhang Rang's face, Xu Ji already knew that he had indeed guessed the right answer, but as Zhang Rang said, Xu Ji's slightest connection with this matter was almost equivalent to burying everything he got now, and Liu Hong couldn't keep him.

It is precisely because of such a countermeasure that Zhang Rang has to hold on to death, whether this matter succeeds or fails, Zhang Rang is an absolute lifeless situation, and even Xu Ji does not think that this plan has any possibility of success, and Zhang Rang dares to deal with it like this?

Xu Ji instantly thought of these again, according to Zhang Rang's character, assassinating He Jin was definitely not the last step, without the arrangement of the backhand, Zhang Rang would never be so risky, Xu Ji was once again frightened by a possibility that popped up in his heart.

Seeing the uncertainty on Xu Ji's face, Zhang Rang smiled and said: "As expected by the concubine, this is the plan, no matter which of these two countermeasures succeeds, Luoyang will fall into chaos, and I, Zhang Rang, will really provoke the beginning of the troubled times!" After that, Zhang Rang let out a laugh that was almost crazy.

And Xu Ji, who looked at Zhang Rang and turned around, was full of fear on his face, Zhang Rang really didn't look like a person, he was more like a demon crawling out of the ghosts, whether it was his behavior or thoughts, it was definitely not what normal people could imagine.

As for Zhang Rang's backhand that Xu Ji guessed, there is only one possibility that can make Xu Ji even more suspicious after he first knew that Zhang Rang was going to assassinate He Jin, Zhang Rang wanted to kill Liu Hong!

This is the reason why Xu Ji is really afraid of Zhang Rang, not only does he hold the will to die, but also drags the most powerful and second-most powerful person of the Han Dynasty to Huangquan with him, this kind of madness is what Xu Ji is really afraid of. (To be continued......)
