At night, Zhang Xun still didn't sleep, still worrying about the battle with Shi Siming.

Although he defended Bianzhou, this was the city defense battle that he was good at. To suppress the rebellion, it was inevitable to have to fight 130,000 rebels in the field. Fan Yang's soldiers were brave, and the cold weather was not conducive to the Tang army.

It is conceivable that Li Guangbi is under great pressure now. Zhang Xun has always known this, so he never complained that the reinforcements did not arrive earlier.

"Envoy." Suddenly, Yao Min came in and reported: "The supervisory army is here."

"who?"

Zhang Xun was a little confused, and he didn't understand until Bai Zhongzhen and Hunyang came in.

Earlier today, he thought that the fair-faced and beardless eunuch was the eunuch beside Xue Bai. He also thought that although it was not against the rules for the prince to use eunuchs to serve him, King Yong was a bit arrogant.

"I've seen the supervisor."

"Mr. Zhang, this servant has finally met your Majesty's loyal minister!" Bai Zhongzhen looked very enthusiastic and stepped forward to grab Zhang Xun's hand. "Your Majesty often thinks of your great achievements in guarding Yongqiu and said, 'If Zhang Xun had not guarded Jianghuai alone,

The door, the country is dead!"

"I don't dare, this is definitely not the work of one person." Zhang Xun said seriously: "The first contribution should be made by Yan Gong."

"Yan Gaoqing is very selfish and should not be compared with Zhang Shijun."

Bai Zhongzhen felt that this sentence of "disparaging one's appearance and praising one's superiority" was very clever. Among their group of eunuchs, the most important thing was to compare with each other. No one wanted to be outdone by others. After all, they were in a deep palace compound. If they were not vain,

, what else can show the value of their life?

If someone says "Dou Wenyang cannot be compared with Bai Zhongshi", Bai Zhongzhen will be very helpful.

However, Zhang Xun's face became solemn when he heard this, and his tone was sonorous and authentic: "Yan Gong is so righteous that Zhang Xun cannot compare to him. Please take back this statement."

Bai Zhongzhen couldn't help but think, these literati just love to pretend.

"I made a mistake, I made a mistake." He smiled sarcastically and said, "I am here to plan something big with Mr. Zhang."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Zhang Gong also knows that if King Yong covets the throne, it will inevitably cause chaos in the country. Now even His Majesty is afraid of his power. But he still refuses to let go of his power as the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses. I'm afraid he has become disloyal.

Heart."

As he said this, Bai Zhongzhen secretly glanced at Zhang Xun's face, but didn't see anything for a moment.

So, he continued: "Prince Yong was ordered to go out to Luoyang on this trip, but as soon as he arrived in Luoyang, he immediately came to Bianzhou within two days. Why?"

"Isn't it to repel Shi Chaoyi?"

"Mr. Zhang is too upright, so I was deceived by him." Bai Zhongzhen said, "King Yong came east probably to get rid of Li Zhi, the successor king of Wu, and Li Zong, the Duke of Yue. These two people were very popular in the clan. With real power, he is the biggest enemy of King Yong in his quest for the throne. Therefore, the servant said that King Yong has ulterior motives."

Zhang Xundao: "Don't worry, envoy, if this matter is true, I will protect the heirs of the King of Wu and the Duke of Yue."

"Okay, okay..."

"But the facts are still unclear at the moment." Zhang Xun changed the subject and said: "King Yong once promised that he had no intention of seeking the throne. The rebellion is still undecided and the country is in turmoil. It is definitely not a time for internal strife. Please wait and see what happens. , no more instigating it to disrupt the morale of the army."

These words were very serious, and Bai Zhongzhen's expression immediately changed.

When Zhang Xun spoke, he glanced at Hun Yao, which was quite shocking. This made Hun Yao feel a little uncomfortable and wondered if he had done something wrong.

Bai Zhongzhen was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and said, "How can you say that, Mr. Zhang? I've listened to you tonight. King Yong even wanted to steal your concubine. It shows that he is greedy. How can Mr. Zhang, a good man, not agree to this?" So humiliated?!"

Before Zhang Xun could speak, Yao Bin was already furious.

"Shut up! You are such a good man, it is not your turn to be judged by an eunuch!"

"I was too hasty and made a mistake. I mean..."

"Stop talking about it." Zhang Xun waved his hand and said, "It's too early to talk about the matter of chasing rumors. Please come back, envoy."

Others don't know, at least he has thought very clearly that Xue Bai has no intention of his concubine at all, and if he cares more, he cares about him.

There is still a sense of loyalty between the two.

The arrival of Bai Zhongzhen made him feel the disadvantages of having eunuchs in power in the court. He secretly thought that the sage should not have sent a eunuch who only knew about the dispute over the horns but did not understand the overall situation.

"Mr. Zhang..."

"Please."

Hun Yao was also kicked out together with Bai Zhongzhen, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

He had also heard about Zhang Xun's deeds in guarding Yongqiu, and he admired him very much. However, because he got together with Bai Zhongzhen, Zhang Xun also looked down upon him.

And tonight's incident made him feel that the eunuch used by the saint was too unbearable, and he regretted it endlessly.
