After sending off the North King, the East King and Zhao Xiaofeng returned to the hall, and the two had to discuss related matters.

At this time, only Zhao Xiaofeng and Dongwang were left in the hall.

"Mr. Zhao, what do you think of King Bei's coming here today?" East King Road.

"It's not good." Zhao Xiaofeng's answer was brief, but it was also very telling.

"This king knows, but this king is a little strange, how can this king of the north be thunder and rain, didn't he hear that his Anxin army was ready to attack, how could he suddenly stand still again, and find this king? It gives people the feeling that this king of the north has suddenly become smarter, so someone must have said something in front of him? Otherwise, with the impulse of the North King, I am afraid that he has already killed the Heavenly King's Palace at this moment. The East King said in a dull tone.

"The subordinates don't understand very well." Zhao Xiaofeng whispered.

Zhao Xiaofeng got up and bowed to the side while speaking, just now the North King was sitting, Zhao Xiaofeng was ordered by the East King to sit with him, and now that the North King is gone, he will never dare to sit in front of the East King.

Maybe this is what the East King wants, if his subordinates don't have the slightest reverence for themselves, then how can he restrain them well.

"This king asked Huang Xu to send you a message and let you monitor the movements of the North King, have you already handled it?" Dongwang asked suddenly.

Zhao Xiaofeng's heart tightened, and he suddenly realized that the words that Dongwang said to himself in front were not untargeted, they should have been deliberately done by Dongwang, and the purpose might be to warn himself. Because he was ordered to spy on the king of the north, but now that the king of the north has come to the door, he said to the king of the east that he didn't know anything, this was not a dereliction of duty, what was it, thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out behind Zhao Xiaofeng.

He understood the seriousness of the problem, and his legs went limp, and he snapped. Got on his knees. With a pause, he said in a trembling voice: "Lord Wang, it is the negligence of his subordinates, and the prince trusts his subordinates. Leave such an important matter to his subordinates. The subordinates didn't do it well. Please punish the prince. ”

"Sir, sir, why do you need to do that. Please get up, please get up, this king doesn't mean to blame you, this king just asks casually. Seeing Zhao Xiaofeng lying on the ground in fright, Dongwang hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhao Xiaofeng up.

Dongwang didn't want to cause Zhao Xiaofeng's displeasure because of this matter, his original intention was just to punish him slightly, in order to achieve the purpose of warning, he wanted Zhao Xiaofeng to know what he was wrong, don't treat him as a prince who doesn't exist, but if it has the opposite effect, then it is not his original intention.

"Lord Wang, please punish you." Zhao Xiaofeng didn't get up, he still lowered his head and knelt on the ground stubbornly.

"Well, Mr. Zhao, don't you even want to listen to the words of this king?" Dongwang's tone became stern.

"Yes, thank the prince for his grace of not sinning, thank you for the grace of the prince for not sinning..."Zhao Xiaofeng heard Dongwang say this, how dare he not get up, thanked him repeatedly, lowered his head and retreated to the side.

"Mr. Zhao, according to your estimates, what will Beiwang do next?" After this short episode before, I don't know if it was to downplay this negative influence, or if this was originally the topic that Dongwang was preparing for haode, I just listened to him continue to ask.

"The subordinates don't dare to guess at will, for fear of misleading the judgment of the prince." After Zhao Xiaofeng learned the lesson just now, he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"Say, this king invited you here just to let you speak, even if you say it, if you say it wrong, this king doesn't blame you." The East King is very generous and authentic.

"Yes." Zhao Xiaofeng replied cautiously.

So, Zhao Xiaofeng talked about his views on this matter, but from beginning to end, he didn't think about provoking Mao Dongwang again, although Dongwang said that he was not guilty, but if Zuihou really launched Weilai, it was still him Zhao Xiaofeng who was guilty, so Zhao Xiaofeng's words also changed the taste, he picked some places that didn't hurt or itch, and tried his best to find something that Dongwang liked to say, although Dongwang was very happy to hear these words, but, whether it can solve the actual problem, then only God knows.

Therefore, this way of employing people is really different, some people can scold, some people can only coax, sometimes they need to be gentle, and sometimes they need carrots and sticks.

Take Zhao Xiaofeng as an example, he can also be regarded as a loyal minister of the East King, scolding his boss, that is normal, nothing bad to accept, think about it, he can accept it, but after accepting it, he wants him to have one to say, two to say two, it will be a little difficult, he has been immersed in the East King for many years, and he knows the way to be an official, and he may not have learned everything else, but the art of oil slippery is perfect, and he knows the truth of self-preservation.

Dongwang may also be smart but mistaken by cleverness, he originally wanted to let his subordinates be in awe, but he didn't expect that the awe was there, but the truth was gone, I don't know, if Dongwang knew Zhao Xiaofeng's true thoughts, what would he think in his heart.

"Listening to Mr. Zhao's words, Mr. still advocates waiting for a while and seeing the situation, right?" After listening to Zhao Xiaofeng's words, Dongwang said.

"Yes, that's the right thing to do." Zhao Xiaofeng bowed his head and said.

"Well, what the gentleman said is very much in my heart, and this king has this intention." Dongwang was happy to finally meet like-minded people.

"But, on the side of the North King, how do we talk?" Zhao Xiaofeng asked.

"Don't worry about him, drag it first, it's not us who is in a hurry now, it's him who is in a hurry, we just have to do our own thing." East King Road.

"Yes, lord." Zhao Xiaofeng said in a respectful tone as always.

"By the way, how are the goals we set last time, how have we completed them now, this king thinks, only when those goals are completed, can we act calmly, and we will not mess up due to rushing into battle." The East King pondered for a moment and then said.

"Judging from the summary of the meeting with Zezhong and General Fang a few days ago, if you need to achieve the goal, it will still take at least ten days." Zhao Xiaofeng said.

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, but now we are the soldiers and horses are not in order, the grain and grass are not in order, and the ordnance is in short supply, which calls us how to start an incident and how to fight, according to this situation, it is already a defeat before the battle." The East King was worried.

Zhao Xiaofeng sighed secretly in his heart, his prince is also too cautious, the East Wangfu also controls such a small number of people, why use so many grains, grass and equipment, military supplies, that is, these reserves currently on hand are enough to last for three years of the Dongwang Mansion army, he doesn't know if the East King is confused, or he can't figure out the current situation.

Such a great opportunity, people like the king of the north can see it, but as smart as the king of the east, but he is still hesitant, no matter who gives advice to the king of the north, at least the king of the north listens to it, but what does the king of the east mean, according to Zhao Xiaofeng, this can only show that the king of the east is too rigid for his own use, he can no longer listen to any objections, if it goes on like this, there will be problems, and there will be big problems.

"Lord, then we don't need to make some military preparations, in case the king makes a surprise attack on us, then we will be caught off guard." Zhao Xiaofeng reminded kindly again.

Zhao Xiaofeng still wants to do his duty as a minister.

"No, now the king of heaven should be on guard against the king of the north, not us, so, there is no need, but you need to help the king do two things, first, send a message to Fang Hu for the king, let him do a good job of guarding the palace, and second, focus on monitoring the movements of the king of the north and the king of heaven, and report back immediately if there is anything abnormal." East King Road.

"Yes." In addition to Zhao Xiaofeng's promise, he can only promise.

Zhao Xiaofeng deeply felt that the danger was getting closer and closer to his side, but the king of the east was not in a hurry, what could he do, maybe just like the king of the east said, regardless of the wind and rain, just wait with peace of mind.

"All right, sir, go down and remember the words of this king." East King Road.

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will retire." Zhao Xiaofeng said.

After Zhao Xiaofeng withdrew, he stood outside the hall for a long time and sighed again.

Maybe as Huang Xu said, it's time to think about his own way out, and he can't just hang himself from a tree, Zhao Xiaofeng thought.

This is the first time Zhao Xiaofeng thought of finding a way out for himself, he has always believed that loyal ministers should be loyal to the Lord, no matter what the future will be, what the consequences are, how the master is, he should be, but as he has more and more contact with Huang Xu, he feels more and more things from Huang Xu, and many of his thoughts have slowly changed, although his loyalty to the East King has not changed, but through what he saw and felt by the side of the East King during this period of time, he finally realized the philosophy that he could not hang himself on a tree.

If Huang Xu knew Zhao Xiaofeng's thoughts, he would definitely be very happy, because this was another step away from him encircling Zhao Xiaofeng. (To be continued......)
