Chapter 18 The Case Rises

In the face of Chu Xiaofeng's ridicule, Xu Daoyuan secretly hated in his heart but couldn't attack. This ugly monster is just a market splash, but he is fearless. But this Fan Zeng is a veritable champion, his status is no less than that of the imperial master, and he is the master who must not be provoked, in case he offends him, a three-inch note can make you have no place to stand.

"Hehe, Brother Shijie, what do you think of this masterpiece of Zhuge Qing?" Xu Daoyuan pointed to the "Hundred Beasts Fighting for Spring" and smiled at Long Shijie. This time he came to the banquet with other plans, temporarily let go of the unhappiness in his heart, or do the right thing.

"This painting is vivid, all kinds of animals and birds are lifelike, it is really a rare masterpiece." Long Shijie smiled slightly and said lightly, with a look of love in his eyes. Although he is rich in the world, he only has a soft spot for poetry and painting, he can regard money as dung, but he absolutely regards poetry, painting and calligraphy as treasures.

"Haha, Brother Shijie likes it, but Brother Shijie doesn't see the meaning of this painting?" Xu Daoyuan saw that Long Shijie's eyes lit up, and he praised this painting, and couldn't help but be very proud, and laughed.

"Implications?" Long Shijie frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly: "This painting is from the last years of the previous dynasty, and it was created by Zhuge Qing to satirize King Wei Xiang. This tiger was originally the king of all beasts, but the tiger in the painting is old and old, without majesty, and the jackals, bears and leopards around it are all fierce and fierce, intimidating all beasts. At that time, King Wei Xiang was addicted to wine and ignored the dynasty, resulting in the regime being controlled by foreign ministers and eunuchs, Zhuge Qing wanted to use this painting to awaken King Wei Xiang, who was obsessed with gentleness all day long, but unfortunately, this King Wei Xiang did not see the meaning of this painting at all, and finally let the country go to ruin. ”

"Yes, that's true, it's just that the times have changed, the sun and the moon have been reincarnated, after hundreds of years of vicissitudes, this painting has a new meaning, I don't know if Brother Shijie can see it?" Xu Daoyuan smiled slightly and said to Long Shijie. The words in his words made Long Shijie's heart move, and he said secretly: This Xu Daoyuan has been prepared for coming this time, but I don't know what his intentions are?

Chu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up on the side, and he glanced at Long Shijie lightly, originally thought that this person was a businessman and a wealthy man, but he didn't expect that he was actually knowledgeable about ancient and modern, and he was not an ordinary person. It seems that the few people present are all powerful people, and they must be more careful in their own actions.

"Brother Shijie, please see, this tiger is not only old and weak, but also about to run out of life, without the momentum of an emperor. And the jackals, bears and leopards around it are all fierce and ferocious, intimidating all directions, and they are more powerful than tigers to make all beasts surrender. Xu Daoyuan saw that Long Shijie frowned and was silent, stepped forward, pointed to the tiger in the painting and said.

"I've already said this just now, I don't know what Brother Xu thinks?" Long Shijie was even more puzzled, he didn't know what kind of medicine was bought in this Xu Daoyuan gourd.

"Actually, this "Hundred Beasts Fighting for Spring" was given to Brother Shijie by His Royal Highness the Great Prince." Xu Daoyuan changed his words and said with a smile, looking at Long Shijie with deep meaning in his eyes, this is the purpose of his promise to go to the banquet today, to envelop Long Shijie for the eldest prince.

Chu Xiaofeng's eyebrows locked when he heard this, a cold glow shot out of his eyes, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists tightly, "gurgling", it turned out to be his good brother, the good brother who did everything possible to put himself to death!

"Huh? His Royal Highness the Grand Prince? I have never had anything to do with His Highness, I don't know why he used this painting with him? Long Shijie was shocked, a few days ago he got a secret report that the emperor was furious about the killing of the third prince, and he couldn't afford to fall ill after angrily beheading thousands of people. It seems that the eldest prince has started to act, he is just a businessman, and he has actually become the target of his wooing, which is really ridiculous.

"Brother Shijie is very smart, I believe that he naturally understands things, and the so-called one who knows the times is a handsome." Xu Daoyuan saw that Long Shijie pretended to be stupid, disagreed, smiled lightly, and continued: "The current emperor is very old, and some time ago he was seriously ill because of the fact that His Royal Highness was killed by bandits. Now in the entire court, Taishi Pang, Marshal Guan, Prime Minister Yuwen and Prime Minister Chen are in charge of the world, and the victory of the four major families is unparalleled for a while. ”

"Hey! When the new emperor ascended the throne, internal and external troubles, in order to eliminate the situation of crises on all sides, the emperor decided to delegate power to important ministers in the court, first, to let them eliminate the Yongle Sect and the rebellious party, and second, the decentralization of power can also allow them to restrain each other. Who knows that now the country is gradually stabilizing, and these so-called loyal ministers and good generals will make the Great Zhou Dynasty a country that is not a country! Long Shijie sighed slightly and said in a low voice. His father was originally a household servant in the court, only because he was not used to seeing the chaotic situation of forming a party in the court and running a private business, and the family was in charge, he returned to his hometown, far away from the court, every time he heard his father mention this matter, he always sighed for a long time, and the family dispute would sooner or later shake the foundation of the country.

"Hehe, Brother Shijie, where do you say this, now the eldest prince has the full support of Master Pang, coupled with his own wisdom and foresight, he will definitely be a generation of Ming monarchs in the future. If you and I are to join the command of the Great Prince at this time, we will help him achieve great things. In the future, it will be okay to pay homage to the king, and the eldest prince seems to be quite interested in the little girl. Xu Daoyuan looked ahead, said to himself, and did not shy away from Chu Xiaofeng and others. He seems to have seen his bright future and immeasurable career.

"Smack!" With a crisp sound, Xu Daoyuan's heart suddenly struck, and he couldn't help but feel a thrill all over his body, and the bright prospect in his mind disappeared in an instant. Turning to look, he saw Chu Xiaofeng glaring angrily, glaring at him fiercely, and an inexplicable sense of fear hit him, making him unconsciously take a few steps back.

Chu Xiaofeng suddenly took the case, making everyone present frown, not understanding why he had such a big reaction. Fan Zeng glanced at Long Shijie and signaled him not to act rashly, just wait and see.

"What do you want to do, you pariah!" His dream was ruined, Xu Daoyuan was very angry in his heart, and scolded sharply.

"There was a fly buzzing just now, and I just slapped it to death." Chu Xiaofeng calmed down the anger in his heart and said in a low voice. It turned out that his father thought that he had been killed, and now he is even more seriously ill, and he is in the people but he is unable to return to him, as a son, he is not filial, as a courtier, he is unjust!

"You! Who do you say are flies! When Xu Daoyuan heard this, he immediately became angry, pointed at Chu Xiaofeng and roared. It's winter, where do the flies come from, this is obviously talking about themselves. This person is just a scoundrel in the market, and he actually contradicted his official three times and twice, which is really unreasonable!

"That's your own admission, I didn't say anything." Chu Xiaofeng sat down again and said nonchalantly, not taking the state capital in his eyes at all.

"Humph! You little pariah, I can arrest you right now for insulting the court officials! Xu Daoyuan said hideously, the arrogance of his posture made Fan Zeng and Long Shijie even more disgusted in their hearts.

"Haha, old horseman! If you discuss the rights and wrongs of the court in private, and even arrange the political situation of the court indiscriminately, I can accuse you of rebellion now! Chu Xiaofeng laughed and said coldly.

"You!" Xu Daoyuan's face was flushed, and he pointed at Chu Xiaofeng and couldn't say a word, this crime of rebellion is a big crime of robbing the family and destroying the nine clans. "Poof!" A mouthful of blood spurted out, Xu Daoyuan was shaky, and his blood was surging by Chu Xiao's spirit, and his qi was unstable. Seeing this, Xu Zhenzhen hurriedly walked over to support Xu Daoyuan, and glanced at Chu Xiaofeng with a little dissatisfaction, and his heart was very complicated. He was 10,000 unwilling to marry any big prince, but his father was blinded by the high-ranking officials Houlu, and his children could only resign themselves to fate.

"Back then, there was a disturbance of the border by the Tulu country outside, and the Yongle Sect was stirring up trouble inside, and the Son of Heaven made the decision to decentralize power in desperation, the purpose of which was for the sake of the common people in the world! In the eighth year of Zhenwu, the emperor personally put on armor and was sharp, went into battle to kill the enemy, retreated thousands of miles from the enemy and did not dare to covet the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou, but what did the loyal ministers who were responsible for cleaning up the internal troubles do? Forming a party for personal gain, constantly growing their own power, all in vain trying to dominate the family and monopolize the dynasty, to this day, the Yongle Sect is still in chaos everywhere! I just want to say that the king did his best, but the minister did not fulfill the minister's program! Chu Xiaofeng looked up at the sky, as if he was shouting in his heart, telling the heavens about the suffering of the Son of Heaven and the disloyalty of his courtiers.

"You! Ahem, let's go! Xu Daoyuan's whole body trembled violently, and he tried to raise his hand to point at Chu Xiaofeng several times in a row, but he hung down weakly, coughed a few times, and then walked out of the banquet hall with Xu Zhenzhen's support. I wanted to persuade Long Shijie to join the eldest prince with him and share the wealth of the world, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by this scoundrel in the market. The anger in his heart will be extinguished with blood, no matter who you are this ugly ghost, in my Xu Daoyuan's one-third of an acre of land, you are doomed to death!

"Lord Xu, Xiao Feng is not talented, I just want to warn you. People are doing it, the sky is watching, and everything is thought before acting. Even if the tiger is old and decrepit, it is still the king of all beasts, do you think the jackal, the bear and the leopard can transform into a dragon! Looking at Xu Daoyuan's back, Chu Xiaofeng said lightly. Xu Daoyuan's body trembled, but he didn't look back, but continued to walk out, today's shame is already endless!

"Xiaoyou is too sharp, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, you have to think twice about everything, and think of a way out for yourself." Fan Zeng stood up, smiled at Chu Xiaofeng, patted him on the shoulder, showed a meaningful smile, and said goodbye to Long Shijie, and then turned to leave.

"Jiaolong is not in the field in the abyss, and the pearl is dusty and sighs. The big waves of sand and gold are now, and they have their own auspiciousness and all difficulties. Fan Zeng had just taken a few steps before he whispered, as if talking to himself. Long Shijie was shocked when he heard this, and then quickly suppressed the shock, and said secretly: Maybe his time has really come.
