"Toast?" Zhang Xutang raised his cup and raised it to King Jin.

King Jin waved his hand: "No need."

Zhang Xutang withdrew his hand: "That's right, we are not in a relationship to toast, but today is a special day, so I will honor Empress Pei with this cup."

After finishing speaking, he brought the cup to his mouth, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking, his face was flushed first, and then the blood on his face faded quickly, becoming extremely pale.

Like King Jin, he was seriously injured, and drinking would make his injuries worse, but no one cared.

King Jin raised his head while holding the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Zhang Xutang picked up the chopsticks, picked and picked them on the table, and finally ate a chopstick of eggs, then handed the cup to Huang Ting, motioning him to fill it up for himself.

"It's been ten years. When Empress Pei was here, who would dare not remember the day of her birthday? Death is like a lamp going out. Ten years have passed, who would dare to remember Empress Pei's birthday?"

King Jin turned the wine glass, but said nothing.

Zhang Xutang continued to pick and choose to eat, but the wine was changed to a small sip, and his face turned white and red, changing like a spirit.

"Since I went to Tanzhou, in the past six months, I have really devoted myself to you, my lord—"

King Jin sneered and said, "Could it be that this king also wants to thank Ya Nei for being so caring about this king?"

Zhang Xuzhang took a sip of his wine: "You are welcome, you have seen the failures in the past. I made a mess, and I couldn't do anything to you in the end, so I made peace."

Hearing Zhang Xutang said that he wanted to make peace, King Jin rubbed his cup, his expression became more and more cold.

Zhang Xutang didn't need him to speak, and said by himself: "You must be thinking why we have to make peace if we want to make peace, but being peaceful is good for both of us."

"benefit?"

"Yes, the good thing is that our Zhang family can rest and recuperate. You can take this opportunity to show off your skills and occupy a place in the court."

Without waiting for King Jin to answer, Zhang Xuzhang continued: "We have already made a concession. The officials who were involved in the Yechang incident and escorted to Beijing, our Zhang family did not protect any of them, and even Li Lin abandoned it. Li Lin, for us, it is the pain of a broken arm."

"It's just Li Lin. It's not a broken arm. As long as the imperial concubine and the prime minister are around, there will be countless Li Lins who will lead the Zhang family."

"But none of them are as loyal or as bold as Li Lin." Zhang Xutang drank the wine in his glass, "My lord, making peace does not mean that the grievances between us will be wiped out, but it means that I will abide by it." rules, and will no longer play tricks behind the scenes."

The existence of Zhang Xutang is the key to allowing everyone in the Zhang family to move forward with ease.

He doesn't abide by the rules, can cut through the mess quickly, thinks what ordinary people dare not think, and is what ordinary people dare not do.

He is the Zhang family's most powerful weapon and the biggest variable. Once he starts to talk about the rules, the entire Zhang family will lose their sharpness and become dull. Coupled with the large number of people and their huge body, they will feel cumbersome instead.

King Jin motioned Huang Ting to pour himself a glass of wine, took a sip slowly, and smiled at Zhang Xutang.

"My king doesn't make peace, and I don't care if the rules in the yamen are unruly. If you don't follow the rules, I will still live. It's just that life is a little harder, but my life has always been difficult, and it doesn't matter how difficult it is, but the yamen It would be even better if the rules can be relaxed, because in this way, what Eyue and I have to do will become easier."

Zhang Xutang listened and did not answer.

King Jin said again: "Also, the yamen must follow the rules and let the Zhang family retreat. I don't know if my second brother agrees. When he was the only one in the capital, he never entered the East Palace. Now that the king returns to Beijing, he may You are getting more and more anxious, according to my observation, the second younger brother seems to be a little irritable, if he knows that the head of the yamen is retiring, and the position of East Palace that is at his fingertips will be handed over, he may not be able to spare you."

Zhang Xutang was silent for a long while, and finally said: "My lord spoke clearly and logically. Even King Yan thought about it for me. However, what you and Song Huiyue have to do may be different."

"Same."

Zhang Xutang shook his head: "It's not the same, you want the whole world, but Song Huiyue only wants one mu of land, how can it be the same?"

King Jin smiled and said: "In the world, naturally there is one acre of land, but there are big and small, and you have me."

Zhang Xutang sighed: "Since the prince refuses to give in, then I have nothing to say, but no matter whether the prince gives in, I will still do what I want to do, the Zhang family will still retreat, and I will still change. You have to behave well, but this kind of rule is only for you, the prince, for Song Huiyue..."

He smiled and stopped talking.

King Jin also smiled: "She also doesn't care about your rules."

Zhang Xuzhang nodded, thinking that King Jin was right, Song Huiyue was so stubborn, once something was confirmed, even nine bulls would not be able to pull it back.

He ate and drank enough, and even ran out of words, so he called Xiaowei without anything to say, and lay on Xiaowei's back.

Before leaving, he clutched his heart and felt pain for a while, sweating from the pain. After the pain passed, he said to King Jin: "My lord, I think you and I are both dazed by Song Huiyue."

After all, he bid farewell to King Jin.

Today's conversation between him and King Jin ended here. This was their first conversation, and it might be their last conversation. It seemed like nothing, but he was very satisfied.

Because at least he knew that King Jin had got his wish.

King Jin's attitude, tone, and demeanor when he mentioned Song Huiyue all regarded Song Huiyue as a part of him. However, Song Huiyue still avoids suspicion everywhere.

Zhang Xutang is very satisfied with this, because the closer the two of them are, the better for him.

The reason why King Jin is so difficult to kill is simply that he and his people, as well as Song Huiyue and her guards, form an impeccable iron plate. As long as their natural alliance is dissolved, everything will be easy.

King Jin asked Huang Ting to see the guests off, and drank a few more glasses by himself, and drank intermittently. He felt that his mind was no longer clear, so he stopped immediately, leaned against the back of the chair, and sat silently.

He knows that Zhang Xutang wants to be a coward, not because he really wants to retreat, but because he wants to be polite, but for another purpose. Pull out the head.

You can only be more prepared.

While thinking, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps outside the house, it was Song Huiyue.

King Jin stood up with cheeks burning like fire, and wanted to go out to meet him, but got up too hastily, tripped over the leg of the table, and immediately fell down, knocking his head on the corner of the table, staring at his eyes, unable to stand up for a while.

He heard Xie Zhou's chirping voice again, and struggled to stand up.

If Xie Zhou saw his appearance like this, he would definitely grin at that dog's mouth, and don't want his face either.

However, he was only halfway up the climb when the door was already open.

Xie Zhou and Song Huiyue looked at the situation in front of them, they couldn't close their mouths in shock, and Xie Zhou couldn't spit out ivory, so he opened his mouth and said loudly: "Huang Duzhi, come quickly! The prince fell and ate shit!"
