Two months later, in the study of Liufu in the capital

The Sky Shaking Tiger was furious and yelled at Zhao Dehai: "It's been two months, you told me that it didn't work, and Zhang Chengxiao kicked you out?" Didn't you tell me last month that he had relented? ”

Zhao Dehai muttered: "Yes, he said to consider it." ”

The Sky Shaker roared: "Then the result of thinking about it is to kick you out directly?" ”

Zhao Dehai lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

The angry Sky Shaking Tiger raised his leg and was about to kick him, but the frightened Zhao Dehai knelt down with a "poof".

Looking at Zhao Dehai's wasteful appearance, the Sky Shaking Tiger was not beaten, and it was useless to scold, so he angrily retracted the leg he had lifted, and scolded:

"If you don't succeed enough and you lose more than you lose, what's the use of me raising you?!"

Zhao Dehai's body trembled, and he replied: "Liu Ye, at first he was very polite to me, I saw that he was hesitant, so he struck while the iron was hot, he did say that he would consider it, but I didn't expect him, he said that he would change his face." ”

The Sky Shaking Tiger poked his fingers at his forehead, gritted his teeth and reprimanded, "Don't you claim to be very smart? Aren't you my counselor? Didn't you take the initiative to ask for help? Didn't you say you could solve it yourself? I told you a long time ago, this Zhang Chengxiao is scheming and stubborn, the prince can't take him, can you take it? Who do you think you are? You are a gangster, you were chased and killed on the street, and you took refuge in me when you were desperate, who are you, can I not know? Don't think that you can give me some ideas on weekdays and treat yourself as a piece of material! Lao Tzu has killed more people than you have walked, and if you mistake Lao Tzu's business, Lao Tzu will kill you as easily as pinching an ant to death, you know? ”

"Yes, yes, Dehai knows, it's Dehai who is incompetent." Cold sweat broke out on Zhao Dehai's forehead.

The Sky Shaking Tiger circled around the hall, scolding and scolding: "Lao Tzu is a knife, a murderous knife, if you have to embroider with a knife, what should Lao Tzu do?!" But now that the prince has opened his mouth, I have to sharpen a knife into an embroidery needle! Zhao Dehai! ”

"Yes, Dehai is here." Zhao Dehai only felt that his neck was cold, as if the knife had been placed on his neck, and his body shook into chaff.

The Sky Shaking Tiger glared at him angrily: "Let me ask you, do you know how many protégés Zhang Chengxiao has?" Who are the close friends? What did he and the second prince plan? ”

Zhao Dehai said: "He, there are more than 300 of his protégés, and most of the people I see are some powerless family celebrities, they talk about poetry and songs together, but I have never seen him have any intersection with the second prince." ”

With a "whoosh", a cup slammed into Zhao Dehai's head, the cup shattered, and the tea flowed down with bloodstains.

The Heaven-Shaking Tiger's eyes widened angrily, his beard stood on end, and he roared in a low voice: "What poetry and songs? What kind of family celebrity, let me tell you, people must have discovered your purpose a long time ago, so they made a show in front of you to show you, so that you couldn't grasp the slightest handle, people took you properly, you still stupidly spent two months with him, he didn't kill you It's already his mercy, you delayed Lao Tzu for two months, Lao Tzu's account will be settled with you sooner or later. ”

Zhao Dehai's face was drenched, full of blood and tea, embarrassed, and he said in his mouth: "Yes, Dehai is useless, I will think of a way again." ”

"What else can you do? It's been two months, how can I explain it to the prince? The prince was still asking me about this yesterday, that Zhang Chengxiao re-proposed to let the second prince supervise the defense of the capital yesterday morning, the prince is in a hurry, I am also going to die, the prince is anxious because he is afraid that he will not be able to be the emperor, and I am anxious, I am afraid that my head will not be protected, if my head is not protected, before I die, I will kill you first, none of you can escape! ”

The Sky Shaker paced back and forth in the hall as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"You can find someone for me now, and then talk to Zhang Chengxiao!"

Zhao Dehai trembled and said, "Let me think about it again, think about it." ”

The sky-shaking tiger and leopard eyes glared angrily and roared: "Think, think, think immediately, think quickly, if you want to break your head, you have to think of it!" Go back to your room and think about it! ”

"Yes, yes, I'll get out, I'll get out." Zhao Dehai bowed and hurriedly retreated.

"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! The Sky Shaker was furious.

"Master, what's wrong?" Purple Wind walked in.

"What else could happen? If something happens again, Lao Tzu's head will fall to the ground! ”

The Sky Shaking Tiger was furious and said: "This Zhao Dehai, I usually see that he has quite an idea, but this time he took the initiative to ask Ying to persuade Zhang Chengxiao, who knew that he was actually kicked out by others, useless things!" Zifeng, what do you say you should do about this? ”

Zi Feng said: "...... Master, why don't I go? ”

"You?"

The Sky Shaking Tiger paused, and hummed: "You don't like words for a long time, it's not easy to convince Zhang Chengxiao of this old stubbornness, it's a hard bone." ”

Zifeng said indifferently: "Zhang Chengxiao is not obviously on the side of the second prince, doesn't the prince mean to shut up Zhang Chengxiao, then just find a way to make him not open his mouth in the court?" ”

The Sky Shaking Tiger snorted: "How easy is it to let this old stubborn not speak?" According to my meaning, everything will be solved with a knife, but the prince will not let him kill him. ”

Zi Feng said: "Zhang Chengxiao is an old minister in the court, he has always remained neutral, and he has not had any handle in the hands of the emperor, if he dies, he will definitely attract the attention of the emperor, which is also not good for the prince." ”

The Sky Shaking Tiger hurriedly said: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, my men and horses are all on assassination missions, how can anyone play tricks?" The prince threw this mess to me, and now I can't ride a tiger. ”

Zi Feng said: "Then let me try, if it doesn't work, you can replace it with someone else." ”

Sky Shaking Tiger looked at him and hesitated, "What are you going to do?" ”

Zifeng: "I won't be a protégé, a doorman, I have my own way, as long as Zhang Chengxiao shuts up in the court, my task will be completed." ”

The Sky Shaking Tiger thought about it, was irritable, waved his hand indiscriminately, and said: "That's it, there is no other way now, since you ask Yingying, then go and try it, hurry up, the prince can't wait." ”

Zifeng forehead: "Yes, Zifeng should do his best." ”

……

Late at night, in a small dark room

Zi Feng said to a man in black: "I recommended myself to the Heaven Shaking Tiger to persuade Zhang Chengxiao. ”

The man smiled "hehe": "He actually listens to you?" ”

Zi Feng said: "His subordinates are all thugs, and he doesn't have decent strategists, and now he can't take Zhang Chengxiao, and he is already out of proportion, so he agreed as soon as I opened my mouth." ”

The man said, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Zifeng: "Just let Zhang Chengxiao wait for me, I will go to him, I will not fake others in this matter, I must do it step by step, so as not to be seen by the Sky Shaking Tiger." ”

The man nodded: "Okay, everything is as you wish, act carefully and protect yourself." ”

"Purple Wind understands."

……

Two days later, a man in purple appeared in front of Zhang's mansion, but he saw that he was like a jade tree, his face was fair, his facial features were sharp and angular, his black eyes were as deep as the sea, there was a faint smile on his lips, and the folding fan in his hand shook gently.

He took out the prayer slip from his sleeve and handed it to the householder, and stuffed another piece of loose silver into the householder's hand. After a while, the family opened the door of the house and invited him in, and the man in purple was not in a hurry or impatient, and raised his legs to cross the high threshold......

In the front hall, there was a sixty-year-old Zhang Chengxiao, who was seven feet long, his eyes were bright, and his half-foot-long white beard under his jaw looked quite like a fairy wind and bones.

Sitting below sat a man in purple.

Zhang Chengxiao stared at him deeply with his long beard in his hand, and said, "I heard that the Purple Wind Hero is looking for an old man, I don't know what to do?" ”

This man in purple is none other than Zifeng.

Zi Feng smiled slightly and said, "Since Master Zhang knows that I am coming, he must know what I am doing." ”

Zhang Chengxiao said: "If you want to persuade me to return to the prince, then I don't have to open my mouth, over the years, there have been no less than a dozen people who have persuaded me, and the old man has never been moved, so why should the hero waste his efforts?" ”

Zi Feng looked him directly into the eyes and said, "First of all, he is not a lobbyist for the prince, and secondly, if Lord Zhang really doesn't want to listen to him, then he can just turn him away, so why bother to say this sentence to him?" ”

Zhang Chengxiao was slightly stunned, and then let out a light laugh and said, "The hero has sharp teeth, in a word." In that case, well, tell me what you mean by coming to the old man today? ”

Zi Feng said: "The dispute between the prince and the second prince, from the emperor to the people, everyone knows that no one knows, Lord Zhang is an important minister in the court, and it is understandable that the prince wants to get your support, and in fact, although you did not show that you helped the second prince, but you proposed to let the second prince take charge of the defense of the capital in the court, it will undoubtedly make people reverie, thinking that you are helping the second prince, and that Lord Zhang is like a fish in the throat in the eyes of the prince." ”

Zhang Chengxiao said: "The old man is not right about things, he knows it, so why waste so much effort? Sending people to the old man again and again to lobby, why bother? ”

Zi Feng said: "Judging from the talent and ability of the crown prince and the second prince, I think that the second prince may have more imperial talents, but with the support of the queen, the position of the prince is difficult to shake. It is their own henchmen and the common people. ”

"Lord Zhang, there is an extremely sharp 'knife' on the prince's side, it is the Heaven Shaking Tiger, how many people he killed for the crown prince, you should know."

Zhang Chengxiao snorted coldly and said, "Is the old man still afraid that the Sky Shaking Tiger will not succeed?" It's a big deal to repay the country with death! ”

Zi Feng said: "I'm afraid that your 'death' will not only fail to repay the country, but will become the finger of a thousand people?" ”

Zhang Chengxiao was a little displeased and asked, "What does Qianfu mean?" What do you mean by that? ”

Zifeng said slowly: "Whether it is the prince or the second prince, in this battle for imperial power, the most indispensable thing is the supporter, if the prince is anxious, and the tiger will kill you with a knife, you think you are serving the country, but you don't know, the lack of an old minister in the court, for the second prince, it is equivalent to missing an arm, the road to the future is becoming more and more difficult, if the prince kills, the second prince's supporters are getting fewer and fewer, and even be killed, do you think this situation is beneficial to Liang Guo?" Do you think anyone will thank you for that? ”

Zhang Chengxiao frowned and was silent.

Zi Feng continued: "Lord Zhang, whoever comes out will become the target of the public, and whose head will fall quickly, even if you are not afraid of losing your head, but once this head falls, you can't do anything, why not change the method, you can not only save your life, but also continue to do your thing?" ”

Zhang Chengxiao's eyebrows jumped slightly, and asked, "It seems that the hero has already made plans for the old man, why don't you talk about it?" ”

Zi Feng said in a low voice: "My lord, from now on, don't speak for any prince in the court, stay neutral, you can do this......"

Hearing Zifeng's words, Zhang Chengxiao nodded again and again.
