Regardless of the tone or the expression on his face, Klinder seemed very sincere, and there were two letters in Zhang Heng's hand as evidence, if someone else was here, even if he couldn't fully believe Clinde's words, he should at least believe seventy percent, but unfortunately the person sitting in the carriage now is Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng knew from Clinde's first appearance what the latter's calculations were, and from Clinde's words just now, Zhang Heng could also determine that Commoder was regarded as his right-hand man and the two most relied on consultants, and their relationship was not as harmonious as it seemed on the surface, otherwise even if there were common interests, Clinder might not be willing to help him tide over the difficulties so happily before.

In addition, Klind's intentions are also obvious now, he obviously hopes to win over Zhang Heng to deal with Aoterus together.

In all fairness, Clinder's methods are quite powerful, and through two letters, he not only quietly washed away his suspicions, but also led the spearhead to his political enemy Otlus, and at the same time dug a hole for Zhang Heng.

However, the smile on his face didn't last long, and the next moment it froze there.

Because he saw Zhang Heng take out the flint from his pocket and slowly ignite the two pieces of papyrus.

"Uh, what are you doing?"

"Let him pass the past, there is an old saying in my country, it is better to settle a grievance than to settle it, I think it still makes sense." Zhang Heng said lightly.

Clinde's goal and Zhang Heng's goal coincide in a sense, which is why Zhang Heng told the little slave girl before that he and Clinde still have room for cooperation in the future, but this does not mean that Zhang Heng has to choose a side so soon, in fact, Clinde's intention to hand over this evidence to Zhang Heng is also quite sinister.

If Zhang Heng didn't hold back and handed over the two letters to Commodus, it would mean that the war between him and Ortrus had officially begun. Although Commodus has a good impression of him now, because the affairs in the southeast city also value him a lot, Zhang Heng believes that Commodus will still be more inclined to Otlus who has been following him in terms of emotional tendencies, and with the political resources that Otrous now has, it is impossible to be brought down by just two letters, and the person who suffers the most in the end must be Zhang Heng.

And as soon as it is reused, the first thing is to report colleagues, whether it is true or not, this will undoubtedly give the young emperor the impression that he likes infighting, and as an advisory group around Commodus, his political performance and ability are secondary, and what really matters is Commodus's attitude towards you.

And His Majesty the Emperor's attitude will change, maybe one second he still likes you very much, and the next second he will take a sharp turn because of something, there are many such things in history, even if the favored ministers can die well, there are not many.

When Commodus's impression of Zhang Heng deteriorated, at this time Clint came out and said a few good words, maybe Zhang Heng could continue to stay by Commod's side, but from now on, Zhang Heng probably needs to look at Clinde's face and live, just like Panonax.

And if Zhang Heng just put it away by himself after getting the letter and didn't hand it over to Commodus, then he can be regarded as having passed the first hurdle, but this is still not a good decision, because Clinder will definitely find a way to leak this matter to Otrus, and then whether Zhang Heng wants to or not, he will also become Otlus's enemy because of these two letters.

Clint had a good calculation, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Heng burned the two letters directly in front of him, which he never expected.

"Didn't you say that His Majesty the Emperor was in a hurry to see me, so let's not let him wait too long." Zhang Heng stepped on the last cluster of sparks with the sole of his shoe and smiled.

…………

Commodus did wait for Zhang Heng for a long time, but he didn't just do it and waited for nothing to do. As the emperor of the empire, he ruled over a vast territory and a population of tens of millions, which also meant that Commodus would never be able to do nothing, especially when Commodus succeeded to the throne when he was still very young, and in the face of Aurelius's huge political legacy, not everyone wanted to assist the young emperor wholeheartedly.

This was why Commodus was in such a hurry to expand his manpower, because he found that when he returned to Rome, the situation was no easier than when he fought the Germanic tribes on the banks of the Rhine.

Before Zhang Heng entered Commodus's study, he heard the young emperor's roar in the corridor, "How did Dio promise me, he told me that the Senate would deal with this matter, and that was how they handled it, kicking me, the emperor, aside in the matter of paying the army, and then counting all the gifts to the Senate itself, now it's okay, my soldiers think that their emperor doesn't pay attention to them at all, oh my God, because of the matter of peace with those Germanic people, Many people in the military were already eager to point at my nose and scold, and now the Senate has given them an excuse to cut my neck while I am asleep......"

Clint and Zhang Heng knew that Commodus was angry, so they also chose not to touch Commodus's moldy head at this time, until the conversation in the study was over, and Clinder reached out and knocked on the door.

Commodus's puffing voice came from inside, "Come in." ”

Clint pushed the door, walked in with Zhang Heng, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Heng is here." ”

Commodus's face improved a little after seeing Zhang Heng, and he squeezed out a smile, "It's been a long time, you really will never disappoint, right?" ”

Zhang Heng had all the scenes inside when he first stepped into the house, but to his surprise, there was only one person in the whole room, in other words, if it wasn't for the young emperor's nerves, and a person lost his temper at the air, it meant that there was another person in the house not long ago, and that person left the study just after the knock on the door sounded and Commodus allowed them to enter the door.

Is it from the window?

Zhang Heng noticed that the windows of Commodus's study were open, and the curtains moved with the wind, but Zhang Heng didn't think that those who stayed in the house before left through the windows, because there was a small garden under the study, and when he came in before, Zhang Heng saw two gardeners cutting flowers and trees.

Since the other party chose to avoid them, then he should also not want to be seen by the gardener in the garden, so Zhang Heng prefers that there is a secret passage in Commod's study, which can be accessed by the second person, considering the suspicious character that previous emperors will have, this trust can already explain a lot of problems.
