Chapter 175: The Battle of Black and White
Chengbei Huibin Building.
The atmosphere in the Accord fell into an awkward silence, and the quarrel between Xiao Fan and Zhu Gaosui made everyone feel a little uncomfortable.
It was an unpleasant meeting.
The four of them sat on one side and drank alone, and it was a long time before someone spoke to break the silence.
"Speak well, no...... Don't curse! Zhu Gaosui said very weakly.
Xiao Fan drank the cup, and then squinted at him: "Who scolds?" Tell me, who's swearing? β
Zhu Gaosui thought for a while, lowered his head and said weakly: "...... I, I'm scolding. β
At this moment, how much he hated his inexplicable extra sister!
Xiao Fan inadvertently swept his eyes, and saw Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxi on the side showing embarrassment, Xiao Fan immediately calmed down the anger in his heart.
Although they know that their three brothers are not in harmony, they are both Zhu Di's sons after all, and it is definitely not a pleasant thing to encounter such embarrassment, even if it is a slap in the face, don't beat it in front of other people's brothers, this is equivalent to slapping three people in the face.
After thinking about it carefully, these three people can't be killed at present, especially Zhu Gaochi, this big fat man is still the only brother that Thrush admits, and he can't be offended, as long as they don't go out of Beijing, Xiao Fan has a bargaining chip in his hand, and he has a few more chances of winning in the future against Zhu Di's rebellion.
These three people play a great role, and they must be treated as good students, and they cannot fight for will.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan immediately put on a smiling face again, picked up the wine glass with a smile, and toasted to the three of them respectively, the three brothers of the Zhu family know that the Jingshi is a dangerous place, and it is impossible to be as domineering as in Beiping, at this time, you should be cautious to avoid being killed.
So the three of them also gave a few glasses of face, and a small turmoil was dissolved invisibly in the cup change, and the banquet began to talk and laugh again, and there was a happy atmosphere for the guests and hosts.
When Xiao Fan precipitated his emotions and looked at the three brothers of the Zhu family with a calm heart, he gradually observed some clues.
Zhu Gaochi is a very kind and kind fat man, it seems that fat people have a tolerant and open mind, Zhu Gaochi is no exception, he has almost no temper, his surname is so good that others will not be angry when he slaps him on the face, he always maintains a smiling expression, no matter who he is polite to, although due to obesity, his gestures seem a little clumsy and ridiculous, but all show that he is well-educated, very well-educated, and very good at talking, no matter the hundreds of schools, anecdotes, astronomy and geography can be a few words, and very responsible, never show the edge, never embarrass people, and don't forget to implicitly praise others when speaking.
Talking to such a person is really the first pleasure in my life.
Xiao Fan gradually understood why among the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, only the fat man in front of him was named the temple name of "Renzong". ββThe temple number is crowned with the word "benevolence", which is really a very high evaluation for the deceased emperor.
This honest and amiable fat man is indeed worthy of the word "benevolence".
On the other hand, Zhu Gaoxi and Zhu Gaosui, although they smiled, their smiles were very reluctant, and when they looked at Xiao Fan, their eyes still showed a little fear, but when the two looked at Zhu Gaochi, their eyes were undisguised with jealousy and resentment, and they were sarcastic when they spoke, without any scruples about brotherhood.
And Zhu Gaochi faced the deliberate ridicule of the two younger brothers, but he behaved like a fool who couldn't understand the words, with an ignorant expression, and he only smiled very honestly at most, and didn't care at all.
Xiao Fan observed quietly for a long time, and secretly came to a conclusion, it seems that the grudge between these three brothers is not small, it is said that the eldest brother is the son of the world, and it is natural to attack the title of King Yan, but which wealthy nobleman does not have these entanglements and battles in his family? Besides, although Zhu Gaochi is the eldest brother, he is fat and lame, has a disability, and is getting older, the following two younger brothers are naturally unconvinced, and Zhu Gaochi's attitude towards his younger brother is quite indulgent and generous, which further fuels the arrogance of Zhu Gaoxi and Zhu Gaosui.
Xiao Fan shook his head secretly, changing places, can he be as benevolent as Zhu Gaochi?
Ask yourself, he can't do it. If he had two younger brothers who were so disrespectful to his brothers, Xiao Fan would have beaten their legs as lame as himself, and now the three brothers are the same, no one should laugh at anyone.
A gentleman should indeed have energy, but at least there should be a bottom line, Zhu Gaochi is a good person, Xiao Fan can't do it, and he doesn't think that Zhu Gaochi is a gentleman like this, there is still a difference between a coward and a gentleman.
However, on the whole, Xiao Fan's impression of Zhu Gaochi is still very good, regardless of his relationship with the thrush, Zhu Gaochi is actually a very worthy person, it has nothing to do with his status, it is purely an appreciation, in a short period of contact, Xiao Fan feels that he has learned a lot from him, for example, benevolence.
Xiao Fan picked up the cup and toasted Zhu Gaochi with another glass of wine.
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly took the cup, still with that cute smile on his face.
Xiao Fan said: "Uncle, Xiao Mou respects this glass of wine, which can be regarded as officially recognizing you as a friend." β
Zhu Gaochi paused, and then laughed: "Didn't my brother-in-law treat me as a friend just now?" β
Xiao Fan smiled: "Just now I only used you as the thrush's brother, but now I really treat you as a friend." β
Zhu Gaochi asked with interest, "Why?" β
Xiao Fan didn't blink, and said lightly: "Because I admire you very much, what you can do, I can't do it anyway." For that reason alone, I consider you a friend. β
"What is my brother-in-law referring to?"
"For example...... The two stupid brothers are talking coldly to you like an ignorant fart, but you don't care, Xiao will never be able to do this kind of mind. β
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaoxi and Zhu Gaosui, who were in the last seat, were furious, Zhu Gaosui raised his eyebrows, his eyes became red in an instant, and he was about to slap the table and get angry, Xiao Fan threw a cold eye dart over, Zhu Gaosui immediately suffocated, thinking of the situation in Beijing now, he suddenly sobered up a lot, and his eyebrows were slightly flattened at the moment, and in addition to anger, there was also a bit of anger and dare not speak.
Zhu Gaoxi obviously has a lot of city government, and his expression remains unchanged when he hears the words, as if he didn't hear it. It seems that he has already clearly realized his situation, and he has also clearly seen Xiao Fan's edge,ββ even his father and Master Daoyan were almost killed by him, and he didn't dare to touch him at all, compared with his father, his brothers are far behind, how can they beat him?
Zhu Gaochi still smiled innocently, as if Xiao Fan just said something very insignificant, he still took a sip from the glass, and through the cover of the wine glass, a pair of small eyes quickly swept the two younger brothers, and the seemingly harmless gaze flashed a little shrewd light in an instant, and the light was fleeting, and it was quickly replaced by a confused and innocent person.
Xiao Fan saw the performance of the three of them in his eyes and almost laughed out loud.
This brother-in-law, who was able to survive in the deceitful Yanwang Mansion, and later sat on the emperor's throne without danger, how could he be the kind of character who was as stupid as an idiot? To each his own shrewdness!
Zhu Gaochi...... Well, it's getting interesting.
Xiao Fan also had an abacus in his heart.
Zhu Di's three sons entered Beijing, and the news will soon spread throughout the court, how will Huang Zicheng and others react at that time? Will they agree with themselves? Xiao Fan was very worried about this.
Qingliu, self-proclaimed upright, upright, as if everything in the world can be exposed to the sun, they can not see conspiracy, can not see deception and cunning, they uphold the principle of "nothing can be said to people", quote the words of Confucius and Mencius sages as the supreme creed, carry forward the pedantic side of the sages, and even misunderstand and distort, these people are more than a few in the court.
Xiao Fan advocated that Zhu Di's three sons be detained in Beijing, would the Qingliu ministers agree? Will they use any Confucian and Mencian words to pressure themselves, saying what kind of nonsense such as the way of forgiveness, the innocent will not be harmed, and so on? Who will Zhu Yunwen, who has no opinion, listen to?
If their opinions are contrary to their own, they will inevitably cause a court battle again, and this time, Xiao Fan made up his mind that he could no longer compromise, even if he played a little clever to get Huang Zicheng down, Xiao Fan did not hesitate. For the upcoming rebellion of King Yan, the weight of the three brothers of the Zhu family is too heavy, and they must not be allowed to return to Beiping!
The decision was made, Xiao Fan's expression remained unchanged, he smiled and poured wine for the three of them, and said with a smile: "The land south of the Yangtze River, the scenery is gorgeous, compared to the rough and uninhibited scenery of Beiping, but it is a little more soft and delicate, since ancient times, it is a place where talented people from all over the world compete to visit, and the three of them are now in Beijing for the first emperor's mourning, there is no need to rush back, and stay more, it is not too late to go back after playing for a few years......"
Zhu Gaochi smiled at the cup: "Brother-in-law is kind, our brother is grateful...... Shhhh Play...... Years? β
Zhu Gaochi's face changed suddenly, and Zhu Gaoxi and Zhu Gaosui's expressions became more and more ugly.
Xiao Fan said casually: "Jingshi is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, with a lot of scenery, I am afraid that I can't finish it in three years and five years, and it is estimated that it will be almost ...... in ten years and eight years."
Zhu Gaochi's face gradually turned white, and his fat face was also dripping with fine sweat.
Xiao Fan winked at him and said with a hidden smile: "Uncle, if you come, you will be safe, you must have been mentally prepared when you come, right?" β
Zhu Gaochi swallowed his saliva hard, and said in a hoarse voice: "What if...... I mean, what if, we have to go back to Beiping? β
Xiao Fan was still smiling, but his voice was cold: "There are more than 10,000 Jinyi guards, all over the world, this commander has an order, 10,000 people are hunting, thousands of miles away from the north and south, can you go back?" β
When the three of them heard this, their faces were as if they were dead, and their expressions were dejected.
Xiao Fan sighed: "Yu Zhi, you are my brother-in-law, my friend recognized by Xiao, Yu Gong, but I am the courtier of the Ming Emperor, I can't help but think about the Son of Heaven everywhere, uncle, translocation, if you are me, what should I do?" β
Zhu Gaochi was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "If I were you, I would have done the same thing as you, I ...... I see. β
Zhu Gaosui couldn't hold his breath, and slapped the table angrily: "Lord Xiao, Ming people don't say secret words, I know that when today's son is jealous of my father, my father sent all his sons to Beijing to mourn in order to show his heart. Where is the justice of heaven in this world? Is Lang Lang so black and white? β
Xiao Fan said coldly: "Heavenly justice and justice are at ease in people's hearts, how can there be real heavenly justice and justice in the world?" Between right and wrong, who can distinguish between black and white? β
Zhu Gaosui said loudly: "Black is black, white is white!" The world is black and white, at a glance, my father is loyal to the court and to the Son of Heaven! β
Xiao Fan sneered: "Black and white, right and wrong, is it really so easy to distinguish?" β
Zhu Gaosui straightened his chest: "Of course!" β
Xiao Fan said leisurely: "Let me ask you, if a man is drunk, enters the wrong house late at night, opens an unlocked door, and the woman on the bed thinks that the person who came in is her father-in-law who returned at night, so the two have a relationship in the dark, His Royal Highness the King of the County, is this matter considered strong. Annihilate? In this matter, who is black and who is white? β
This question asked all three of them, and when they looked at each other, the three of them had a heated discussion. Zhu Gaochi said that those who don't know are not guilty, but Zhu Gaoxi thinks that this pair of men and women belong to the general annihilation, Zhu Gaosui's point of view is relatively simple, he thinks that the man is very cool and very enviable...... After a long time, the three of them stopped, and looked at Xiao Fan together, all wanting to hear his opinion, whether this matter was strong or not. Annihilate.
Xiao Fan didn't move, he was silent for a long time, and he suddenly said faintly: "Comrades, this is fate......
The three of them were speechless: "............"
