Zhu Li has rarely done anything with people since he was thirty years old, after all, he is in the Huan Sea, his back is against the gate valve, and he has the appreciation and respect of the Zhu clan sect master, and the resources that can be mobilized are beyond imagination.

So no one knows how many grades Zhu Li's martial arts have reached over the years, although Du Mingyu is mentally prepared, but when he really faced Zhu Li's coercion, he still held his breath for a moment, and his heart seemed to be beaten by a thousand catties of giant hammers, and his hands and feet were bound in place, and he couldn't move.

However, Du Mingyu also counted it, stepped on his feet slightly, the force rose from the ground, the dantian sank, his right hand shook forward violently, the long sleeves flew up, the attitude was fluttering, and he took three steps back, and finally got rid of Zhu Li's aura, and his whole body was loosened, and a few sweat marks oozed from the vest.

"Otherwise, the Heavenly Master Dao and millions of Dao people will not forget the knife that the Zhu clan stabbed in the back!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Li looked up to the sky and laughed, got up slowly, and said: "Go back and tell Du Jingzhi that the bloody case he committed in Yongning County, sooner or later I will settle accounts with him, Xi Yuanda's death is just a wake-up call." ”

Yongning County is under the rule of Yongjia County, and Zhu Li, as the Taishou of Yongjia, has the responsibility of herdsmen to ensure the safety of the environment. The Liu clan in Yongning County was wiped out by Xi Yuanda with a deer breast poison scheme, Zhu Li was forced by the situation at that time and couldn't stop it.

"Furthermore, the Heavenly Master Dao is the righteous way of all the people in the world, just Du Jingzhi, the native chickens and dogs, dare to regard the Heavenly Master Dao as a bag?"

Du Mingyu said coldly: "It's impossible to talk about it, I'm going to say goodbye!" ”

He turned around and left, Zhu Li suddenly glanced at Zhu Cong, Zhu Cong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood, and deliberately used the voice that Du Mingyu could hear, and said: "The two countries will not fight each other, or will I send him a gift?" ”

Zhu Li seemed to be angry, and after a while, he snorted and said, "Go!" ”

Zhu Cong hurriedly chased to his side and said with a smile: "Du Langjun, please!" ”

Du Mingyu's expression was indifferent, and he arched his hand and said, "Please!" ”

When the two left, a woman in red walked out of the side door, no more than sixteen years old, very beautiful, with a light sweep of Emei, bright teeth and red lips, and dark jade-like eyes with smart cunning and cleverness, squatting beside Zhu Li, gently pinching his thighs for him, and said: "Father, although Brother Ziming is well-read and reasonable, but he is not sophisticated, let him negotiate with the people of Heavenly Master Dao, will it ......?"

Zhu Li's face was full of doting, touched her long hair, and said: "Ziming is jokingly called a two-legged book, but he is not a nerd who only knows how to read to death. If my father wants to say, he is actually more shrewd and sophisticated than many people in this world, but you are still young and can't see through these ......"

The girl in red grabbed Zhu Li's long hair reluctantly, wrinkled the tip of her nose, and said coquettishly: "Father, you look down on people!" ”

Zhu Li screamed and said, "Light, Father's beard is very weak, but it can't withstand your shaking like this......"

"No, if you don't tell me where the eldest brother is, look at me and let you go!"

"Okay, I say, I say!" In order to keep his long hair, Zhu Li had to disarm and surrender, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, and said: "For example, Fang Cai, he obviously knew that the surname of Du started from Zheng Guo's grandson, but he pretended not to understand and asked me for advice. Why? It is because I was met by him the day before yesterday when I was reading "Zuo Chuan", and with his knowledge, as long as I look at it from a distance, I immediately know that I have read that I have read about the fourteenth year of Zhuang Gong, and the grandsons are about to die, so I understand this allusion. Asking me for advice is just trying to please me. ”

"Huh?" The girl in red blinked, her beautiful face floated with a hint of incredulity, and said, "I still don't know what big brother really does......

"Two-legged books, two-legged books, there are no ten thousand books in the chest, who can be called such a name?" Zhu Li smiled and said: "Ziming is talented, as the eldest son of your uncle, and also your eldest brother, the suzerain of the Zhu family must be succeeded by him, a little more sophisticated, than not sophisticated." Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that the heart is not broad enough, the vision is also inferior, and he loves to be smart, which is better than being foolish."

Zhu Rui seems to be vulgar, but in fact, he has a bold personality and is decisive in his work, he can be called both wise and brave, and he is very loved by the middle of the family. On the contrary, Zhu Cong likes to dance and write, his scheming is biased towards the cunning of literati, and most of the people gathered around him are strategists and courtiers, the two have different personalities, they are in their own way, and they can still be safe and sound at the moment, but in the future, the sphere of influence of the two sides will expand to the overlapping area, and the family internal strife is just around the corner.

"Hmph, the sixth brother knows how to bully people, where can he be so polite and knowledgeable as the eldest brother!" Zhu Li nodded the tip of her nose and said, "Ziming Shangwen, Ziyu Shangwu, the two of them are walking different paths." The eldest brother always said that the future of this world must be the world of literati, but don't forget, our Zhu family, for three hundred years, has relied on force to dominate the three Wus and stand tall......"

Zhu Li's eldest brother Zhu Ren is the contemporary suzerain of the Zhu family, his martial arts are not as good as the third Zhu Li, his bearing is not as good as the second Zhu Yi, his wisdom is not as good as the fourth Zhu Zhi, and his courage is not as good as the fifth Zhu Xin, but he has been the suzerain for thirteen years, everyone admires him, and his reputation is resounding all over the world, relying on his unique foresight and insight. When many powerful sects were still indulging in the glory of the past and were complacent, he was already keenly aware that An Zidao, the emperor of Chu, would carry out a major purge of these privately armed gate valves, and the Yixing Xu clan was a bloody example, and this world, after thirty or fifty years, would become a world of scholars!

Therefore, he was bent on change, starting with Zhu Cong, and invited a number of great Confucians to teach knowledge at home, striving to make the Zhu family transform from a strong sect of force to a strong sect of culture, but like all changes, his approach caused controversy within the family, especially in recent years, controversy has become confrontation, and when confrontation becomes hostile, the consequences are really unpredictable.

The girl in red seemed to understand whether she understood or not, but she was smart by nature, and she was keenly aware of the contempt and distrust that Zhu Li showed when talking about Zhu Cong, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Father, do you prefer the sixth brother a little more?" ”

Out of the house, Zhu Cong and Du Mingyu followed the path to the Fuchun River, a bream boat tied to the shore, the reeds swaying, the north wind howling, the river people were gone, only a few peaks, looking at the vast sky in the distance.

"Du Zhengzhi, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not, I am afraid of friendship and deep words, I don't say it, but I can't bear to see you in a desperate situation without knowing it......"

"Lang Jun is finally willing to call me a righteous rule!" Du Mingyu said sarcastically, not to mention impatience, and not to talk about listening, his attitude was very indifferent, and said: "If you have anything to say, please speak up!" ”

Zhu Cong was annoyed in his heart, although the correct governance of Yangzhou should not be underestimated, but no matter how you say it, it is only a title within the Heavenly Master Dao, not a canonization by the imperial court, let alone an appointment by the imperial court, what is there to be proud of?

"According to the news from Jinling, the lord received a report from Qiantang and was furious at the court meeting, and he has thoroughly ordered the Sili Mansion to investigate the case. You also know what kind of place Sili Mansion is, and over the years, there has been no case in Sili Mansion that can be good. In other words, Du Jingzhi is about to be ruined, you are such a talent, why do you have to sit on this shipwreck with him? ”

Du Mingyu was silent.

Zhu Cong knew that there was a play, and continued: "Du Jingzhi is arrogant, and it is extremely stupid to dare to say such things to my third uncle. I can assert that in less than a month, Du Jingzhi will definitely go to the throne, whether he can save his life is still between the two, and Zhengzhi must not be a foolish and filial person......"

"I am loyal to the mixed yuan, filial piety to the heavenly master, and I have always only admired Du sacrificial wine, how can I say that I am loyal and filial?"

"It's me who lost my word!"

Zhu Cong's patience has reached the limit, and he smiled coldly in his belly, and said: "Under the nest, how can there be an egg, Du Jingzhi's evil deeds are too many to write, and if you investigate it, none of the two righteous rulers of Yangzhou and the five major spiritual officials can escape." But I know that Du Zhengzhi is different from them, you have good intentions in Juzhang County, although you have taken away the property of the Juzhang Wang family under the pretense of Shenlu deer breast, but you have not harmed people's lives, it is excusable, dredge it in the court, I dare to promise, the lord will not be held accountable! ”

Du Mingyu was silent for a long time, standing by the river, his face changed abruptly, and after half a sound, he sighed: "Yangzhou governance is the blood of the Heavenly Master, if it is destroyed in the hands of the sacrificial wine, it is really unwilling." ”

"That's exactly what happened!" Zhu Cong lowered his voice and said: "When Du Jingzhi goes to the throne, the throne of Yangzhou will be vacant, if Zhengzhi is interested, our Zhu family can do a little bit." ”

Du Mingyu was noncommittal, got on the bream boat, ordered the boat to be opened, stood on the bow of the boat and waved his hand to Zhu Cong, and said: "Twenty days later, it will be the Xia Yuan Festival, I will set up a Jiao in Wu County, relieve misfortune and recommend death, if Lang Jun has leisure, he may as well come to Wu County for a while." ”

The Xia Yuan Festival is the morning of the water official's relief, and it is also a major festival of the Heavenly Master's Dao. ”

"Do you like the sixth brother a little more?"

Zhu Li's face was gloomy, and the girl in red was a little scared, and said timidly: "Daughter shouldn't ask ......"

"There's nothing to ask that shouldn't be asked, even your uncle knows that I do like Ziyu a little more. His temper, temperament, ideas and means of being a person and doing things are very much to my taste, but it's a pity that Ziyu is not the eldest son......" Zhu Li looked out of the door, rubbed his hand on his long hair, and muttered: "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan, but I don't know who is Zheng Bo and who is Gongzi Duan ......"

Seeing the bream boat move away, Zhu Cong turned back to the village, met the girl in red halfway, and said with a smile: "Ling Bo, who provoked you, why are you angry?" ”

The girl in red is named Zhu Lingbo, the seventh daughter of Zhu Li, and the eldest in the Zhu family's generation, and is very loved by many brothers. Of course it's you! ”

Zhu Cong was inexplicable and said, "I'm so dignified, why did I provoke you?" ”

"It's you, it's you, get out of the way, I'm going out!"

Zhu Cong was pushed aside by Zhu Lingbo and shook his head, I don't know why, but the joy of reaching a secret agreement with Du Mingyu overshadowed everything, and no matter why Zhu Lingbo was in a bad mood, he went to see Zhu Li to discuss.

Zhu Lingbo glanced back, depressed, Zhu Li's last sentence was taken from the allusion of "Spring and Autumn", Zheng Bo is also Zheng Zhuang Gong, he and Gongzi Duan are brothers, because of the conflict over the position of the monarch, in the end Zhuang Gong won, Gongzi Duan fled to Gongyi. Zhu Li didn't like to read, so she must not understand this, so she didn't shy away from anything when she whispered, but Zhu Lingbo happened to hear this story when she was playing in the clan school, so she felt a chill.

Who is Zheng Bo and who is Gongzi Duan?

Although Zhu Lingbo is rude and willful, he is extremely smart, and after listening to Zhu Li's words today, many things that he was ignorant before immediately thought clearly. Zhu Cong seems to be loyal, but in fact, the city government is deep, if even Zhu Li openly and secretly supports Zhu Rui, then in the near future, Zhu Cong will definitely fight back, and the brothers are in the wall, I am afraid it is not the blessing of the Zhu family.

Can't we be like when we were children, brothers, friends and brothers, and everyone is together in peace and joy?

Could it be that power can really extinguish family affection and blind men like the eldest brother and sixth brother?

No, I'm going to see the sixth brother and ask him to stop fighting with the eldest brother!

Zhu Lingbo did whatever he wanted, went to the stable to pick up her favorite little red horse, packed a few clothes and coiled them, and galloped north.

When Zhu Cong saw Zhu Li in the room, his excited feet were a little unstable, but his face was still proud, and he said, "Third uncle, Du Mingyu has the intention of replacing him, and invited me to participate in the Xia Yuan Festival." ”

"Xia Yuan Festival?" Zhu Li frowned and said: "The next Yuan Festival is twenty days later, and it was the critical juncture of the Sili Mansion to investigate the case, if you appeared rashly, would it attract their attention?" ”

Zhu Cong seemed to be very sure, and said: "It's okay, I'll go to worship the water official, and then find a suitable opportunity to meet Du Mingyu, I won't be stupid enough to provoke Sili Mansion." ”

He finally couldn't hold it back, a smile overflowed at the corner of his lips, and said: "Du Mingyu is really a villain, just in front of the third uncle, people who don't know him still think that he is Du Jingzhi's henchman, but I didn't think about it, I just said a few words, and let him turn against him, ha!" ”

Zhu Li smiled slightly, stroked his long hair, looked leisurely, and didn't say anything. Zhu Cong felt it, suddenly stopped laughing, and wondered: "Third uncle, am I wrong?" ”

Zhu Li sighed and said, "Is Du Jingzhi a fool?" ”

Zhu Cong shook his head and said: "Du Jingzhi, as a sacrificial wine in Yangzhou, has been as stable as a rock in Yangzhou for many years, and no one dares to move. ”

"That's it! Du Jingzhi is not a fool, of course he understands that the current situation is at a critical juncture. Put yourself in your shoes, if you were Du Jingzhi, would you send someone to the Zhu family at this time to show off your power and threaten you with false words? ”

Zhu Cong was shocked and said: "Yes, either he doesn't send someone to endure this bad breath, or he will make compromises and admit his mistakes, and he will definitely not be as arrogant and domineering as Du Mingyu, not only will it not help, but it will also anger us and others, making the situation even more out of control...... The meaning of the third uncle is that he is ......"

"If what I expected is correct, Du Mingyu's words are all fabricated by him, and they are not Du Jingzhi's original intention."

Zhu Cong's mouth opened wide, his eyes were full of disbelief, and said, "Why did Du Mingyu do this?" ”

"It's very simple, because Du Mingyu wants Du Jing's death to be faster, and the throne of Yangzhou Sacrificial Wine can also change its owner sooner. He came to Fuchun this time to seek our help, and all his previous actions were just retreating and fishing. ”

Zhu Cong's face was full of shame, and he said dejectedly: "Third uncle, if it weren't for you, I would still be complacent and self-righteous, but I didn't expect to fall into the trap set by others in advance, and I am really ashamed." ”

Zhu Li stood up, walked to the door, stopped, and said lightly: "Ziming, you must know that if you want to be the sect master of the Zhu family, it is useless to curry favor with me, you have to show twelve points of ability to convince everyone." Du Mingyu's trap is so shallow and naïve, can't you really see it? ”

Zhu Cong became frightened and said, "Third uncle, I ......"

Zhu Li didn't give him a chance to speak, and said: "You actually saw that Du Mingyu came here to seek cooperation, but you deliberately pretended not to know, this kind of trick, you can not use it in the future, it is better not to use it." ”

After Zhu Li left, Zhu Cong slowly leaned back in the chair, the shame and panic on his face disappeared in an instant, becoming cold and terrifying, I don't know how long it took, he raised his head, and his eyes shone with incomparably resolute light.

For the future of the Zhu family, I can do anything,

Can also become anyone,

Sometimes, for a noble end, I can do whatever it takes!
