Xu Zhijie put on a look of embarrassment that was seen through by Shi Feizheng, and after a while, he spoke frankly: "As the prince said, everything the lower officials have done is not entirely for the sake of the family teacher. In fact, the lower officials also have selfishness, and this selfishness is not small. ”

Shi Fei smiled positively, his face was full of the words "This king has long seen through your mind", put his hands around his chest, and pretended to be surprised: "Oh? It turned out that Mr. Xu still had selfish intentions. I don't know, is Xu Zongbing willing to say that he will listen to this king? ”

"The prince is not stingy with time, he is willing to listen to the voice of the lower officials, and the lower officials have a reason to hide it?"

Xu Zhijie hugged his hands and said solemnly: "Lord Wang, everything the lower officials have done, in the final analysis, is for the Di family's army. ”

"Di Jiajun."

Shi Feizheng repeated it, his face was light and light, but he sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that Xu Zhijie's ambition would be so big.

"It's Di Jiajun."

Xu Zhijie continued: "Since the prince knows that the lower official and the old general are masters and apprentices, he should naturally be able to understand the feelings of the lower official for the Di family. It stands to reason that the family teacher has stepped down from the position of the commander of the Di family's army, and looking at the world, the most suitable and worthy person to inherit this position should be the lower official. But he fell out of the big position, allowing Lu Dewang, the villain, to take advantage. This matter, the lower officials, can't turn a blind eye. This breath, Xiaguan, can't swallow his anger! ”

Shi Feizheng knocked on the table and motioned for Xu Zhijie to continue.

Xu Zhijie gritted his teeth and continued: "Lord Wang, what the lower officials are thinking about is to clear the source and seize the control of the Di family's army. Xia Guan is the only apprentice of the old general, so he is naturally the best person to take charge of this Di family army after the old general retreats. But the lower officials knew that they could not do this matter no matter what, so the lower officials first gave the sword to Leshan Gongxing, and now they came to surrender to the prince. What Xia Guan is looking for is the person who is most likely to help Xia Guan achieve this wish. ”

Xu Zhijie is so frank that he doesn't know what to do, it is really rare for someone to be able to talk about his desires so nakedly and clearly.

is still the same sentence, Xu Zhijie will not be disgusted with this kind of straight-hearted person. Even if this person is a villain.

"Mr. Xu is really frank, so frank that the king doesn't know how to deal with it for a while. It's just that Mr. Xu, don't you think that if you expose your capriciousness so frankly and straightforwardly, it will make this king think that you are ...... Please forgive this king for saying bluntly, it is really difficult for this king not to think that Xu Zongbing is a profit-seeking...... Villain! ”

Shi Feiqing said it so directly and bluntly, ignoring Xu Zhijie's face, which was some kind of temptation. He wanted to see how Xu Zhijie would deal with it.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhijie was very simple, just nodded, and replied: "If the prince thinks that Xia Guan is a villain, then Xia Guan is a villain!" At this point, Xia Guan has no intention of justifying. But ......"

Xu Zhijie's eyes were burning and he looked directly at Shi Feizheng, which made Shi Feizheng feel a little uncomfortable.

"Lord Wang, even if the lower official is a villain, so what?"

"What did you say?" Shi Feizheng frowned, clearly not expecting that Xu Zhijie would be so arrogant about his villainous behavior.

Xu Zhijie seemed to be worried that Shi Fei was not hearing clearly, so he repeated it loudly and said: "Lord Wang, Xiaguan said, even if Xiaguan is a villain, so what? If the prince wants to achieve great things, he needs capable people, not those defenders who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. Xiaguan is exactly what the prince needs most, that kind

A villain who is capable, responsible, and able to do things. In this case, why should the prince stick to trivial matters and crowd out the lower officials? ”

Shi Feizheng was amused by Xu Zhijie's sophistry, the corners of his mouth raised, and he smiled: "Mr. Xu, you are really confident enough." How can you be sure that you are the kind of person that this king needs most, the kind of person who is capable, responsible, and able to do things? There is no basis for words, you have always heard this sentence, right? ”

Xu Zhijie immediately got up, solemnly bowed and hugged his fists and said: "Please rest assured, the lower official promises that he will never let the prince down." Since Xia Guan dares to make such a guarantee, he naturally has enough confidence to support it! ”

"Interesting, interesting."

Shi Feizheng clapped his hands and said, "But Mr. Xu, this king is still worried that he will be betrayed by a villain like you in the future." You can betray Gu Panxi today, and you can betray this king tomorrow. This king may not need his subordinates to be full of righteousness and morality, but he needs that person to be loyal enough. ”

As he spoke, Shi Feizheng stood up, flicked the sleeves of his robe, made a gesture of invitation to the door, and gave an eviction order: "Mr. Xu, I am very happy to be able to get together with you today." But now, you should leave! ”

"Lord Wang!"

When Xu Zhijie saw that Shi Fei was about to drive him away, he immediately became anxious, and persuaded loudly: "Lord Wang! Under the world, no one can be absolutely loyal to a person. But anyone, can be loyal to the power! This matter, the prince should be very clear. Otherwise, how could that Liuchuan betray Leshan Gong, who treats him like a brother? ”

Hearing Xu Zhijie mention this matter, Shi Feizheng, who had already turned his body back, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth a few times.

Killing Shi Feiqing is also a difficult choice for Shi Feizheng. Although he can do whatever it takes to power now, the brotherhood between him and Shi Feiqing in the past is as fake as it gets. If he hadn't realized that he couldn't help it, he wouldn't have made this decision and killed Shi Feiqing.

"Mr. Xu, what exactly do you want to hint at? The death of the fifth emperor brother has nothing to do with Liuchuan, let alone this king! ”

Shi Feizheng snorted, but Xu Zhijie continued without changing his face: "It doesn't matter who Leshan Gong's death is related to. The important thing is that the prince should be very clear about what the lower official said, almost the truth! Only loyalty to power is pure, faithful, emotionless, and unaffected by the outside world! The prince is well versed in this, and naturally understands that it is very simple to let the subordinate maintain absolute loyalty to the prince, that is, the prince himself, who holds absolute power. And isn't this what the prince desires and works hard for?! ”

Shi Feizheng's body couldn't help but move, he was really moved by Xu Zhijie's words.

Xu Zhijie saw that although Shi Feizheng didn't answer his words, his footsteps stopped in place and didn't really leave, so he knew that there was a play, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and said: "Lord Wang, please give Xia Guan a chance to prove that Xia Guan is not only useful to the prince, but also at this moment, he is extremely loyal and reliable to the prince!" ”

Shi Feizheng turned his head and looked at Xu Zhijie's lowered head, and after a while, he said, "Okay." This king will give you such a chance! Tea time, put your loyalty and value out, and the king will reconsider whether to accept your surrender. ”

"Yes!"

Xu Zhijie let out a long sigh, and then ran out in a hurry.

Shi Feizheng squinted at Xu Zhijie's distant back, and really couldn't think of what Xu Zhijie could come up with, enough to convince himself.

Fortunately, he didn't have to bother guessing, because soon, Xu Zhijie came back. he

He came back with a man with a black cloth covering his head and his hands and feet bound with hemp rope.

"It's ......"

Shi Feizheng looked up and down at the person who was caught by Xu Zhijie. This person is not tall, he is struggling, and his mouth is making a muffled sound, if there is no accident, he should be gagged by Xu Zhijie with something like a cloth.

Xu Zhijie showed a smug smile at Shi Feizheng and said, "Lord Wang, when you see the true face of this person brought to you by the lower officials, you will definitely feel extremely happy when you think about it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Zhijie reached out and tore off the black cloth covering this person's head.

The man's true face was revealed, Shi Fei looked at it, and his eyes widened.

The person in front of him, with messy hair and eyes that want to breathe fire, is not someone else, but ...... Gu Panxi!

"Gu Panxi, it's you?!"

Shi Feizheng still couldn't suppress the shock in his heart, and shouted, breaking his calm and introverted image.

Because of this development, it is so unexpected! Even if Ren Shifei was trying to break his head, he couldn't have thought that Xu Zhijie would arrest Gu Panxi as a vote!

"Woo...... Woohoo......"

Gu Panxi tried his best to say something, if there was no accident, it should be a dirty word when cursing, but after being filtered by the cloth in his mouth, it all turned into a pitiful and ridiculous whisper.

Xu Zhijie said happily: "Lord Wang, how's it, is this generous gift enough to prove the sincerity, loyalty and value of the lower officials?" ”

When Gu Panxi heard this, he turned his head to stare at Xu Zhijie, and he also whined.

Shi Feizheng really didn't know what to evaluate.

Arresting Gu Panxi, does it show Xu Zhijie's loyalty and value?

Yes, that's true. This credit is so great that Shi Feizheng can't think of how he can reward Xu Zhijie.

Shi Feizheng has been completely shaken, no, it should be said that he has made up his mind to recruit Xu Zhijie into his command. But he didn't want Xu Zhijie to be too proud, so he still pretended to be calm on his face, suppressed the smile that almost burst out, and asked with a cold face: "Mr. Xu, what the hell is going on?" Duchess Leshan, how can it be in your hands? As the chief soldier of Jiangnan Town, how can you treat the Duchess of Leshan like this? This is the following offense! ”

Xu Zhijie knew that Shi Feizheng just wanted to clear up the guilt on his body, so he pretended to respond with a "subordinate official is guilty", and then brazenly defended: "The prince doesn't know, the reason why the lower official is rude to the Duchess of Leshan is completely out of necessity. The lower officials found out that the Duchess of Leshan was plotting against her, so he subdued her. Xiaguan, this is contributing to the safety of Dawu, Lord Wang! ”

Shi Fei was about to carry out the hypocrisy to the end, as if he wanted to shoot something that didn't exist, he flicked his hand and said angrily: "A bunch of nonsense, the Duchess of Leshan not only made meritorious contributions in the battle of Tumubao, but was also a heroine who was rewarded by the imperial court, and also founded Union Medical College, and is a well-known good person in Le'an Mansion." Duchess Leshan, how could she do something unfavorable to Dawu? If you quickly release the Duchess of Leshan, this king will not cure you for the following crimes! ”

"No, no, lord!"

Xu Zhijie really smelled like Shi Feizheng, knowing that he was saying something false and contrary to his will, but he still tacitly cooperated with him to sing a double reed.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials have definite evidence that can prove that the Duchess of Leshan is plotting against her!"
