Rebirth of the Phoenix

Zhang Xiu wrote a memorial in an eloquent manner, and after sending it back to Beijing, she took Yun'er and a group of people and left, but Zhang's mansion in the border town still kept the maids she bought. Where will it go.

In the capital, the emperor was obsessed with female sex and did not read the memorial at all. It was not until Zhang Xiu returned to the capital that his subordinates risked their lives to report that the emperor crawled out of the gentle village with a cold face. He called You Yong, "Ai Qing ,What do you think?"

You Yong came to the fore during this period. You Lin had hated the emperor and knew that he was no longer suitable to appear in front of the emperor, so he asked You Yong to go up to the camp. You Yong and the emperor got to know each other because the emperor went on tour in disguise, but it was You Yong made a design, barely saved him, and gained the emperor's trust, and was named a former imperial guard. He can be regarded as a new generation of celebrities in today's world. "The envoy from Di Rong has also arrived, and they are now putting pressure on our court. I'm afraid..." You Yong didn't know much about the border situation, but he knew that Zhang Xiu couldn't let Zhang Xiu stand out. All he had to do was Become the first minister of the dynasty, and then take the opportunity to seize the throne.

The emperor pondered for a while, and he was already unable to raise his spirits to resist Di Rong under the influence of wine. If the matter can be resolved peacefully... The emperor's eyes flashed, but he remembered the disfigurement of the lady of Feng's family in the palace, and felt in his heart A little timid, "Let's do as Ai Qing said."

The emperor handed over the matter to You Yong, and You Yong was overjoyed. In his opinion, if he could solve the matter perfectly, then his prestige would be very high.

People in the Ministry of Rites have accumulated all kinds of dissatisfaction with the emperor's handing over diplomatic affairs to You Yong as a bodyguard. Out of scruples, Xiao Yuan was directly put aside, and other officials from the Ministry of Rites were called to discuss the matter.

"There are so many people here, does Guard You want to hold a small meeting without Xiao?" Xiao Yuan stood at the door with a smirk on his face, he never gave face to thick-skinned people.

You Yong secretly resented him, and specifically pointed out his identity as a bodyguard. This Xiao Yuan obviously wanted to embarrass him, "Forgive me, Mr. Xiao. When the servant reported back, he said that he did not find Mr. Xiao, so..."

"It seems that the people in You Shiwei's mansion are nothing more than that." Xiao Yuan said coldly, the grievances between Zhang Xiu and the You family are nothing to do. Let Guard You be in charge of Di Rong's envoy, but the Ministry of Rites is under Xiao's jurisdiction, and Guard You's move is too much, and frankly speaking, after this incident, Guard You is still a guard, and Xiao is still the servant of the Ministry of Rites." Those words are hitting the wall. You Yong's identity as a bodyguard is already out of the ordinary, and he still wants to enter the officialdom. Someone will offend his local tyrant, and he will be afraid of You Yong?

After Zhang Xiu went to Beijing, he found out that Di Rong’s subordinates of Zuo Xianwang had already set out on the road. They had arrived in the capital earlier than their group, and they were also engaged in activities in the capital. These days, the emperor did not mention Zuo Xianwang. The method of disposal did not mention Zhang Xiu's future position, and there was no imperial decree, but there were already rumors in Beijing that King Zuo Xian would be returned, and that Zhang Xiu would be punished for provoking a border war.

There is no reason for the wind to come from the sky. "I made a mistake in going to Beijing this time?" Zhang Xiu took a sip of the wine in his glass with complicated eyes.

"If you don't go to Beijing, you won't know how you died." Xuan Bin understood it.

"Binzi is right." Xiao Yuan poured himself a glass of wine, "You haven't seen the villain's face," Xiao Yuan curled his lips, "The villain's elder brother is also a villain, so disgusting, put me They're all sick and skinny."

It was rare for Xiao Yuan to say something naughty, and the other two people present at the moment were not in the mood to speak up.

"How do you think things will develop in the end?" Zhang Xiu's eyes were deep, and she seemed a little bit desperate.

Seeing this, Xuan Bin smiled and said nothing, he hoped that Zhang Xiu would strengthen his heart as soon as possible, so naturally he would not speak at this moment.

When Xiao Yuan wanted to make jokes, someone knocked on the door, and several people looked at each other in blank dismay. After confirming that it was not the person called by the other party, Zhang Xiufang asked, "Who is it?"

The door opened, and a man dressed as a mistress walked in, all of them showed vigilance in their eyes.

"Friend of Di Rong, don't go any further." Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice.

"Good eyesight, how did Mr. Zhang see it?" The visitor stopped in his tracks and chuckled. When he raised his head, his nose, which was very different from that of the people from the Central Plains, betrayed his identity.

Zhang Xiu smiled and said nothing, she didn't need to satisfy the curiosity of others, "It seems that this friend doesn't look like a subordinate of King Zuo Xian, can I have a name?"

"Zanbu, the general under the command of King Di Rong." Zanbu cupped his hands, but sat down unceremoniously.

Zhang Xiu turned a few turns in her mind, and felt that one possibility was the greatest, but she would not say, "I wonder if Mr. Zanbu is here for business or pleasure?" She enthusiastically poured wine for Zanbu.

Hearing this, Zanbu was about to spit out a mouthful of old blood, he frowned, "Master Zhang, please don't talk dark words, King Di Rong wants King Zuo Xian to die."

"Oh, it's useless to find me. His Majesty has already decided to release King Zuo Xian to Di Rong. As for Zhang, he may be convicted soon, so he won't be able to help him." Zhang Xiu evaded. .

Zanbu looked at Zhang Xiu with a burning gaze, "Master Zhang, is he willing? Master Zhang is willing to let the prisoners of war captured so hard be released? Before coming, Wang told Zanbu that as long as Master Zhang is willing to do it, Di Rong promised Within five years, we must not violate the Central Plains."

"Zhang is just a courtier. Your Majesty can do whatever you want." Zhang Xiu said with a playful smile.

Zanbu was not discouraged, "Since that's the case, Master Zhang can come to me if he changes his mind."

After Zanbu left, Zhang Xiu's face became gloomy, "The dog promises, it's all obvious."

"Brother, do you think this matter can be done?" Xiao Yuan was a little moved, Zuo Xianwang is now locked in the guest house, and You Yong will lead people to guard it for twelve hours. If it is done He also has a way to get himself out of this matter.

To do or not to do?Zhang Xiu believes that she still has a bottom line in her life, but if someone wants her to die in a different way, then she doesn't want this bottom line, "Do it, why don't you do it?" There was a trace of coldness on Zhang Xiu's face, " Fatty, Binzi, we must plan carefully for this matter." She was still used to calling Xiao Yuan Fatty, even though the fatty had lost weight.

"Okay." "No problem." The eyes of the two were eager to try.

A week later, when the emperor summoned Zuo Xianwang's subordinates and told him that he would return Zuo Xianwang to Di Rong, Zuo Xianwang's subordinates cheered happily. Unexpectedly, Zuo Xianwang's subordinates were assassinated and died that night. And when people rushed to the guest house, King Zuo Xian was already dead.

The emperor was furious. The Minister of Rites was an old man with a cane. When this happened, he died of fright when the emperor summoned him. The emperor was so angry that he had to give the old man a posthumous title. The old man was left behind by the first emperor. If it wasn’t for the vacancy of the Ministry of Rites, he wouldn’t have caught the old man out. He just lifted a stone and hit his own foot. The imperial doctor also came back, and said that Xiao Yuan was really sick in bed for more than a week. The two giants in the Ministry of Rites did not bear the responsibility, so the underlings had to bear it. As the person in charge, You Yongding did nothing. No, everyone in the Ministry of Rites hates You Yong. The relationship between the six departments is intricate, and often the servant of this department is a relative of someone in that department. You Yong has offended many families at once. Arrogant and arrogant with the emperor's love.

When Zanbu was leaving, Zhang Xiu took someone to see him off, "Zanbu is a character." The reckless man is not to be feared, but the wise man is to be feared. "If you attack Di Rong in the future, you must destroy this person first."

Hearing this, Xuan Bin's eyes lit up, "Brother, have you made up your mind?"

Zhang Xiu looked back, smiled without saying a word.

Affected by this incident, Zhang Xiu was directly dismissed from office and left home idle. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the emperor was just looking for a reason to get angry. Even Zhang Xiu himself knew it well.

On this day, Su Mali directly sent a post to visit Zhang Xiu, and specifically indicated that she was only visiting Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu pondered for a while, and told Yun'er, "Since we only visit brother Xiu, then Brother Xiu, you can go." She had unlimited trust in Zhang Xiu.

In the small pavilion in the courtyard, Zhang Xiu set up teacups and waited for Su Mali's arrival. Su Mali was wearing a light purple dress today, and she was holding a small purple fan in her hand. She was not like ordinary people.

"I don't know if Mrs. Su is looking for something to discuss with Zhang?" Zhang Xiu poured a cup of tea with burning eyes.

"Heavenly king Gaidihu, pagoda suppressing river demon." Su Mali's voice was soft and creepy when she said this, as if she was holding it in her mouth, "I'm afraid brothers and sisters are from the same realm?" She seemed A smile is not a smile.

Zhang Xiu's eyes flickered, and she weighed gains and losses in her mind, "Mary Su may not be her real name, is she?" She pondered for a while, with a reserved smile on her lips.

"It turns out that everyone already knew about it. If you meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country, you should have a drink." Su Mali raised her hand and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

A strange light flashed in Zhang Xiu's eyes, and she drank the cup to the brim, but she still had reservations about Su Marie in her heart. There were two straight lines, and Su Marie was born to reveal the secret. What was she planning?

"Elder sister also knows younger brother, you must be wondering why elder sister wants to admit relatives," Su Mali laughed at herself, "I want the emperor to die." There was deep hatred in her eyes, "While you were away, something happened. thing……"

The more Zhang Xiu heard, the angrier she became. He Roushan was her mother-in-law, and if something happened to He Roushan, her wife would definitely be sad. She said firmly, "You don't need to say, I will let him die."

Su Mali's eyes became more and more determined, "If you let me kill him with my own hands, then I can give you the power of my subordinates."

"There's nothing wrong with the former, but I don't want your power in the latter, I want you." Zhang Xiu didn't beat around the bush, "Sister, since there are only us in this world, then come and help me, only you can truly understand me." All intentions and ideas, let us build a prosperous world together."

Su Mali tried her best to discern Zhang Xiu's intentions, but she found that she couldn't see through this person, "Xiao Zhang, you are not simple," she said with emotion, "Okay, as long as you don't force my sister, she will be fine." I did it with you."

"Then wish us a happy cooperation." Zhang Xiu hooked her lips, raised her cup, and said with a smile after drinking it full, "Sister, you can do whatever you want, but I'm not helping you with chasing girls. ah."

"Who is sister, do I need your help?" Su Mali smiled flamboyantly, but her hands in her sleeves turned cold in an instant. The person in front of her was indeed not simple. She knew many things about the other party, and the other party knew about her own affairs as well. Quite a few, but...that's what's interesting, isn't it?

After sending Su Marie away, Zhang Xiu stood with her hands behind her back. She found that she had developed into a mature politician, a cold and mature politician. Zhang Xiu knew about He Roushan from Qiao Xun when she returned to Beijing. At the same time, he also knew about Su Marie's affection for He Roushan. Qiao Xun reported that during the queen's incident, he detected the existence of another group of people. Everyone had the same goal and they all wanted to trip up the queen. That group of people was Su Marie's. He Roushan couldn't take revenge on the emperor for a while, so Zhang Xiu shelved the matter until she had a second heart about the dynasty, then she thought of Su Marie, this fellow, there is no doubt that Su Marie's A sword has two edges, there are good points and bad points, but Zhang Xiu believes that as long as He Roushan is around, Su Marie will be a good assistant.
