After Fei Lian left, a voice came from behind Zhang Zixing: "Brother Emperor, what do you think of this person?"

"Brother Xian, I haven't asked you yet, but you asked first?" Zhang Zixing smiled: "I have a feeling that this guy is definitely not simple. To sum it up in one sentence, it's 'show what you can't do when you can, force yourself'

And show it as weak'."

"This statement is very wonderful," Kong Xuan praised: "It seems to come from the "Zixin Art of War" written by the emperor's brother?"

"Exactly, my good brother has a good memory," Zhang Zixing shamelessly admitted despite Sun Wu's strong protest, "Fei Lian behaved humbly and even took the initiative to admit that he was corrupt, perverted the law, and was greedy for life and fear of death, just to show me

To show weakness, it is easier for the king to control a minister who is greedy for money and afraid of death than someone who is capable and rebellious."

"Brother Huang's insights are indeed brilliant," Kong Xuan shook his head and said, "It's a pity that my foolish brother doesn't know anything about the art of the emperor. He just discovered an interesting thing. Although Fei Lian's power was at the Void Refining stage, his state of mind seemed to be gone.

To the Golden Immortal cultivation level. If it is really a family inheritance, the state of mind cultivation should be lower than the strength, and there is no way it will be so abnormal."

"What's so strange?" Zhang Zixing's eyes lit up, "Fei Lian has such a level of cultivation, but he hid in court for many years and never showed it. He must have some agenda. This person has a deep scheming, and if he wants to use it, he must have someone to let him know.

If you want him to be completely convinced, you need to give priority to power and support him with kindness. However, as a brother, as an emperor, with the world in mind, and everything to deal with every day, it is impossible for him to devote all his energy to this corner. If Fei Lian truly surrenders, he will still pay it forward.

That's all, if you still have second thoughts..."

"If you are still vacillating like a grass on the wall, let Yu brother handle it." Kong Xuan is not a good man or woman. "Don't say that he is not a perfect golden immortal. Even if he is, I won't put him in Yu brother's eyes. It will not cause many problems in the future.

It’s a variable, so it’s better to get rid of it as soon as possible.”

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

※※※※※※※※※※

As expected, Zhang Zixing did not break his promise. As soon as the court broke up the next morning, Erai and Xiaodan were released and returned home.

What surprised Fei Lian was that when the two of them mentioned the emperor, they showed a rare fear, even his son, who had always been arrogant and domineering. Fei Lian asked in detail what happened yesterday.

When the demon soul was devoured not by Soul Devourer but by a terrifying alien beast, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Xiao Dan smiled bitterly and said: "I'm ashamed to say that, the young master and I only saw a flash of red light and were already unconscious and captured. We don't even know what the other party's hands were. I think this was most likely done by another person.

If the emperor had such magical powers, he wouldn't have had to expend so much effort to defeat the young master in Dongshi."

"I didn't expect that the emperor would have such a person under his command. I really can't see through this majesty more and more." Fei Lian recalled Zhang Zixing's double-entendre words and secretly shuddered, "Yesterday I went to the palace to plead guilty.

When I came out, even the clothes on my back were soaked with cold sweat. The power of the emperor is far beyond my imagination..."

Eilai showed a rare hesitation and said: "When I left today, the emperor greatly appreciated my courage and hoped that I could serve the country. I said that I need to come back to consult with you."

Fei Lian was shocked and sighed: "It seems that the emperor is still worried about me and will not give me a chance to hesitate... What do you think?"

Evilai scratched his head: "What ideas can I have? Old man, you have the final say this time."

Xiaodan also said: "The emperor recruits the young master, but he is forcing the master to express his position. If he responds, it will show the master's loyalty and we can live in peace; if he refuses, the emperor will be taboo, and we must flee from Chaoge immediately."

, otherwise there will be a big disaster coming."

Fei Lian pondered for a long time and said: "Escape? I'm afraid it's not that simple. Since the emperor has this intention, I'm afraid he has been prepared for it. And I have worked hard for many years, how can I give up so easily? If evil comes, I want you to assist the emperor.

, are you willing?"

"My lord," Xiao Dan said in surprise: "With your temper, I'm afraid..."

"Humph, old man, I knew you would make such a decision! That's fine! I originally caused this trouble, and I will take care of it!" Eilai interrupted Xiao Dan's persuasion and shouted with a grin: "Besides, I am here to enjoy myself.

After so many years, if I want to go back to the deep mountains to practice, won’t I just fade away like a bird?”

When Fei Lian saw that his son had agreed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after urging him for a while, he let him go.

"Xiao Dan, please don't try to persuade me. Even if we decide to escape, we are still in great danger. The Emperor will never let me go easily." Fei Lian sighed: "The Emperor today is unparalleled in wisdom and power. I trust myself to be careful."

I was cautious, but I still underestimated him."

"My lord, please don't be depressed. Who would have thought that the object of our original plot was actually the Emperor? It was God's will to expose this matter," Xiaodan said with a bitter smile: "It's a pity that Zhu Jian is still practicing magic in the mountains, and he only wants to avenge his shame.

I’m afraid it will be difficult to fulfill my wish in this life…”

Fei Lian said in a deep voice: "What I said about the Emperor's power is more than that. What chilled me the most about the meeting last night was that the Emperor was afraid... that he had already guessed my origin..."

Xiao Dan was shocked and speechless for a long time. Fei Lian waved his hand and asked her to go down and rest first.

"Only the spirit thins the yin and yang to form Qi, and controls the wind and clouds to show virtue. When the power of the wind and thunder is combined, the crops and trees will die; the kindness and the mist and dew will make the plants flourish. The evil in Kunyang is flooding the new house, and Qiuci helps Shunji.

The master of Quanliang rewards the good in the same way, and punishes the evil in the same way..."

Fei Lian's faint chanting sounded in the secret room, and it was the "Essay on the Master of Sacrifice to the Rain" given to him by Zhang Zixing yesterday.

After Fei Lian yesterday, as soon as the court dismissed today, Fei Zhong went to the palace again to ask for an audience, and he immediately received the emperor's permission.

Fei Zhong had no idea that his painstakingly planned conspiracy had been exposed. This request for an audience was not to plead guilty, but to "promote virtuous people."

Zhang Zixing calmly looked at the fat man who was lying on the ground respectfully, and then looked at the "virtuous person" whom he recommended highly. After a long time, he said: "Fei Qingping, who is the person you recommend, and what talent is there?

"

Fei Zhong hurriedly replied: "This man's name is You Hun. He has outstanding resourcefulness, is good at maneuvering, and is proficient in arithmetic and astronomy. Unfortunately, he is a fallen scholar and has never been reused. I feel that the day before yesterday, His Majesty's holy intention was to recruit talents regardless of their origins."

, personally recommend this person, please make your decision, Your Majesty!"

You Hun? Fei Zhong recommended You Hun as a "virtuous man"? It's really interesting. Zhang Zixing's eyebrows moved, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He looked at You Hun for a while, and saw that he was in his thirties, with a slender figure and an ordinary appearance.

Something special is that the cheekbones are higher, giving people a smart and capable look.

Fei Zhong and You Hun, these two people are the great "heroes" in "The Romance of the Gods"! If the name You Hun wasn't so sensitive, Zhang Zixing might have really taken the trouble to investigate this person and even entrust him with important tasks.

Should these two people be killed immediately to avoid internal troubles in the future? Thinking of this, Zhang Zixing couldn't help but feel murderous intent in his heart. Seeing that the emperor was silent, Fei Zhong secretly raised his head to peek, and met Zhang Zixing's sharp gaze, and his heart suddenly

With a shudder, an ominous omen surged up, and he quickly lowered his head.

Zhang Zixing then thought about it: If it were an ordinary dynasty, this kind of precautionary approach would not be bad, but this is the world of the gods. Three years later, killings and calamities will occur everywhere, and the world is in turmoil that cannot be changed. If Fei Zhong and You Hun are killed, it is inevitable that they will not jump.

Liu Zhong, Liu Hun? On the other hand, those saints and immortals are the biggest disaster. Since coming to this world, Zhang Zixing has also understood a lot. Many people and things are by no means as simple as described in novels.

For a treacherous official like Zhong, he has his own merits for being able to have both sides of the court and turn the tables.

As a monarch who understands the general direction of the future, he must have an overall view, look further, and try to make good use of every chess piece in his hand. Only then can he achieve the ultimate goal. When he left Fei Zhong, he was

For the sake of long-term planning, we cannot kill these two people right now. We should keep them under our control so that they can be used in the future.

"Since Fei Qing strongly recommended him, he must be outstanding," Zhang Zixing suppressed the murderous intention in his chest and said slowly: "It is my will to send You Qing to stay in the VIP building of the Talent Recruitment Hall for a while. I will send you another one at that time.

Special personnel will inspect it, and if there is a great talent, it will be put to good use."

You Hun also said that the emperor really valued him, and he was secretly happy in his heart. He quickly thanked him and left. Fei Zhong was about to leave together, but Zhang Zixing stayed behind.

Zhang Zixing said cheerfully: "Fei Qing has worked hard for the country and recently recommended such a 'virtuous person'. It is indeed worthy of my honor."

When Fei Zhong heard the emperor's praise, he calmed down a little, and his fat face showed joy: "I have been entrusted with important tasks by your majesty. I should work hard to share your majesty's worries."

Zhang Zixing smiled and said: "Fei Qing is so humble! By the way, are there any changes among the various princes?"

"Reporting to your majesty, there seems to be something unusual about Yuan Futong and others in Beihai under the rule of Bei Bohou recently. I have sent a special person to investigate. I will have definite news soon. I will write a detailed report to your majesty at that time. There are also some barbarians in Eastern Qi who are dissatisfied.

The government wanted to cause chaos, but fortunately, Concubine Yue was very clever and so she was able to calm her down. If your majesty has some free time, you can go east to join us. Due to the majesty of heaven, the barbarians should bow to you and not dare to have any second thoughts."

Zhang Zixing recalled that the book had told about the rebellion of Yuan Futong and other princes of Beihai No. 72 Road, and he secretly paid attention to it. Not long ago, there was a controversy in the court over the dropping of incense in the Nuwa Temple and the inspection of the Eastern Qi Dynasty. On that day, Shang Rong tried to focus on the dropping of incense.

Now that the incense has been dropped, the emperor will go to Dongqi to renew his relationship with Yue Fei, so Fei Zhong proposed the trip to Dongqi again, and gave a well-reasoned excuse - the Yi people were rioting,

In this way, the ministers did not dare to have any objections. Zhang Zixing had to admit that this fat man did have a good way of figuring out his superiors' intentions and pleasing his master. In any case, Dongyi would still go there in the near future, and it was just that Chao

The heavy responsibility shouldered by "Zhang Yi" analyzed by his brain made this trip inevitable.

"How's the secret recruitment going?"

Fei Zhong replied: "In compliance with His Majesty's instructions, after selection, the first batch of young people has been basically recruited. There are three hundred people in total, about eleven or two years old. They are all slaves, and their physique and mental abilities have met His Majesty's requirements.

"

Zhang Zixing asked a few more things, some of which Fei Zhong had not finished yet. Fei Zhong felt strange, but he still did not dare to neglect and answered them one by one.

"Fei Qing, thank you for your hard work..." Fei Zhong was about to say a few words of humility when he suddenly heard the emperor ask: "Do you know why I ask so many questions?"

Fei Zhong shook his head in confusion, and Zhang Zixing sighed: "I am asking you to show your merit, and I am also trying to find a reason for myself not to kill you."
