It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 248 Coveting power and losing one’s life

"The emperor is looking for you! What is your attitude?" Zhang Lin rolled his eyes and looked down on Mao Hongbin. "Didn't the emperor ask you to go to Hualin Garden to participate in the poetry meeting yesterday? Are you going or not?"

"I'm not going. I told him yesterday." Mao Hongbin put down the idle book in his hand. Now the two people have almost the same official position. Mao Hongbin did not deliberately try to please this person who was promoted very quickly, not to mention that he hated this ugly picture very much. Face.

"You are so shameless!" Zhang Lin's words were also extremely unpleasant.

Mao Hongbin was unhappy, but he didn't show it directly. He just stood up and asked, "You have the face, you can go ahead."

"That's right, of course I'm going. I'm General Wei now, and after Hualin Yuan, I'll be the commander of the Northern Army Mansion." So that's it, otherwise Zhang Lin would have come here, taking his position.

Mao Hongbin immediately laughed, "Okay, then when you come, I will give you the big seal and everything else."

Unexpectedly, Mao Hongbin would react like this. Zhang Lin was a little embarrassed for a moment, so he had to touch the corner of the table and sit down, sneering: "Master Mao, you have to wipe all the big marks before giving them to me. Don't do anything wrong." Impure things.”

"No problem, it will be polished so shiny that it will blind your dog eyes." Mao Hongbin also smiled happily, "Oh, that's what I said. Forgive me, it will shine your eyes, Mr. Zhang."

"You! Huh!" Zhang Lin wanted to slap the table, but suddenly saw Yang Xiankang yawning and walked in, and his eyes lit up. He is the second brother of the Supreme Empress. He is extremely handsome. Even with his current lazy appearance, he is still lovable. Zhang Lin looked at Yang Xiankang intently and forgot what to say.

"Yang Xiankang, what are you doing? Go back to sleep." Mao Hongbin saw Zhang Lin's ghostly look and immediately yelled at Yang Xiankang. Yang Xiankang was stunned, rubbed his eyes and then said: "Sir, I just woke up, why am I still sleeping? I shouldn't be able to sleep that night."

"Then we have to sleep hard." Mao Hongbin frowned and looked at him, "Why don't you go quickly?"

"Hey, Yang Wuwei, don't leave. I have something for you to do." Zhang Lin's tone turned out to be much better, and he still wanted to please him. Yang Xiankang was stunned again. He looked at Zhang Lin and thought for a long time before asking: "Master Zhang, you are already a general guard now. You have so many people under your command. What do you want me to do? What can I do?"

"Now only the Yang Wuwei will not be stopped when they leave Luoyang City..." Zhang Lin woke him up with one sentence. This is true. Because of Yang Xianrong, his second brother was specially allowed to enter and leave Luoyang without a token. Even though Sima Lun granted amnesty to the world and seemed to have relaxed his management, in fact he was still strictly investigating people who discussed his rise to power, and arrested all those who gathered in crowds. Even if three people talked together for more than half a stick of incense, they would be caught and beaten up by the officials.

"Then I just went to Jinyong City to see my third sister." Yang Xiankang was very puzzled, "Do you need to leave the city?"

"I just want to send a letter home." Zhang Lin smiled even more obscenely, even disgustingly. Yang Xiankang couldn't hold it back and turned his head directly. Mao Hongbin didn't want to look at him, so he turned to look at the door. Qin Chaoge happened to walk in carrying a stone drum and asked Yang Xiankang in a sullen voice: "What's wrong? Do you think I can carry it? I've walked so far?!"

"Oh, you are so awesome! I admire you!" Yang Xiankang laughed immediately and was not sleepy at all.

"You should also practice this more. When the time comes, your hands will not shake and your arms will be strong when shooting arrows." Qin Chaoge put down the stone drum, "You see, Yuan Jianshuo often practices this."

"Okay, but this will make the arms thicker." Yang Xiankang was still very concerned about his body shape and touched his shoulders. Zhang Lin's eyes became hot. Mao Hongbin coughed again and yelled at Yang Xiankang: "Go get me a bowl of medicine!"

"Sir, why did you drink the medicine?" Yang Xiankang looked back at Mao Hongbin in great surprise, "You can't take medicine blindly, you will become stupid."

"Go, go, I want to drink medicine." Mao Hongbin also picked up the idle books and threw them at him.

Yang Xiankang finally saw that Mao Hongbin's aura was not right, and ran away quickly. Qin Chaoge was stunned for a moment, then struggled to pick up the stone drum and walked out step by step.

Zhang Lin looked at Mao Hongbin and laughed again, "Master Mao, did you do this on purpose?"

"Ming people don't tell secrets. If you want Yang Wuwei to help you take the letter out of the city, then the letter must not contain anything good." Mao Hongbin looked at him sideways, "You think something will really happen, he is the Supreme Empress If your brother can save his life, won’t the Supreme Empress give you trouble? Hehe, the Supreme Empress has the temperament to avenge her on the spot. If something happens to Yang Xiankang, you won’t be able to survive that night."

"I am helping the Supreme Empress." Zhang Lin was quite reasonable. "Now Sun Xiu is bewitching the Emperor to deal with government affairs casually, and even handles military affairs with his own authority. These behaviors are against the people's hearts. What's more, look at it. Of those promotion orders he issued, which one is not a treacherous villain? Those who disrupted the imperial court have already been killed..."

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, General Wei, it's not easy to say this to me. I didn't hear anything." Mao Hongbin covered his ears and took three or four steps back. "You'd better leave quickly. , even if Yang Wuwei is willing, I will definitely not let him deliver a message for you."

"Then do you know who I want to send the letter to?" Zhang Lin laughed again.

"I don't know, I don't know, don't tell me, I don't want to know." Mao Hongbin shook his head and waved his hands. He was much taller than Zhang Lin, and he pushed Zhang Lin out without caring about etiquette. The small group of military guards brought by Zhang Lin immediately drew their swords and faced each other.

Qin Chaoge and Yang Xiankang were standing at the door and had not gone far. Seeing this situation, they quickly stepped back and asked nervously: "What's going on?"

"If this letter is sent out, I will be promoted one step further in the future, and I will definitely repay Master Mao..." Zhang Lin was still talking.

Mao Hongbin didn't listen at all and continued to push Zhang Lin forward, "It's okay. I don't want to be an official anymore. Come tomorrow and I will give you all the official seals. Spring is short, and my wine grains are not ready yet. Well, I’m very anxious.”

Zhang Lin curled his lips, there was really nothing he could do about such an official who didn't seek advancement. He had no choice but to leave the Beijun Mansion angrily and look for a way from others.

However, three days later, at the Hualin Garden Poetry Festival, Sima Lun invited people from the same clan to gather and summoned Zhang Lin, Sun Xiu and others to accompany him. When Zhang Lin just walked into Hualin Garden, he was arrested and killed by Sima Lun's personal followers. He also asked Sun Xiu to lead his men to wipe out all three clans of Zhang Lin.

The letter that Zhang Lin wanted to send to Sima Xin was in Sima Lun's hand. Sima Lun looked at the blood on the ground and said with a smile: "I am the divine right, the destined emperor! All members of the Sima family are My right-hand man, my dearest friend."
