926 Questioning
When Faris Rashid returned to Mecca, the Rashid family was in danger. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Mecca was the last refuge of the Rashid family and the holy city of the Persians, and perhaps for this reason Abdul Aziz besieged Mecca and did not attack it.
Abdul Aziz is really powerful, and he understands the truth of "three circles and one thing", so Mecca has not severed its connection with the outside world.
Abdul Aziz didn't care about this, because Abdul Aziz knew that the Rashid family had lost all hope, and no one would come to save the Rashid family, and the Rashid family could only sit and wait.
Upon his return to Mecca, Faris al-Rashid reported the agreement with Lan Fang to Jihad al-Rashid, the patriarch of the Banu Rashid.
As Qin Haoge expected, this agreement really caused an uproar within the Rashid family.
Although Faris Rashid is in the twilight, the family is still prosperous, and there are thirty-two brothers in Faris's generation, and Faris Rashid is only the most inconspicuous of them.
Of course, after reaching an agreement with Lan Fang, the situation has been different, and the current Faris Rashid is the most dazzling one.
The most vehemently opposed was Faris Rashid's eldest brother, Melzoug Rashid, whose name suggests "knight" in Persian and "to be helped by the Lord".
As mentioned above, most of the land in Saudi Arabia is desert or semi-desert, and only scattered land can be cultivated, and most of these lands are concentrated on the Persian Gulf coast, and Merzug is not opposed to directly ceding territory instead of recognizing Lanfang as the future Saudi Arabia's "suzerain", but Merzug is not in favor of ceding the Persian Gulf coast.
In the face of Melzug's questioning, Faris's reason is very strong: "We don't have the qualifications to put forward conditions now, the most important thing is to live first, only if we live we have the qualifications to put forward conditions, if the Rashid family does not exist, then what is the point of the agreement?" ”
If it was before, Faris Rashid would not argue with Mirzug, but now Faris Rashid has to fight, which is not only a matter of life and death for the Rashid family, but also a question of inheritance. If most of the Rashid family thinks that Faris Rashid signed an agreement with Lan Fang by betraying the interests of the Rashid family, then it is not a question of whether Faris Rashid still has the right to inherit, but whether Faris Rashid can still live.
"But we can get Lan Fang's help in another way and in other ways, instead of having no bottom line like this! Now that this kind of agreement is signed, then what we have lost is not just an outlet to the Persian Gulf, but the hope for the future of the whole of Saudi Arabia, and if we lose the Persian Gulf, then even if we can have the whole of Saudi Arabia, then what's the point? Myerzug has his own reasons, and it sounds very far-sighted.
"Meaning? The meaning is that our Rashid family can continue to exist, and at the moment of life and death, we cannot take care of the future situation, and we must first get through the current difficulties before we can think about the future. "What Faris Rashid wants to show is to be pragmatic, not to sing high-pitched, not to talk big, and to solve problems in a down-to-earth manner.
"Don't say that the situation is so serious, what is life and death at every turn, the Rashid family has not fallen to that point, what benefits did the Lanfang people give you? You signed such an agreement that humiliated the Rashid family? "Faris Rashid's other brother, Emil Rashid, is aggressive.
Saudi Arabia also has a similar tradition of "standing up for a long time", and Mer Zug is the most "long" and "long" one.
As the eldest brother with the "first inheritance", Melzug has to maintain the demeanor of the "eldest brother", so he can save some face when he speaks, but others are not welcome. Emir and Myerzug are also brothers, the kind of "kiss" that parents are the same, and if it is inconvenient for Myerzug to say, Emir will have no problem saying it.
Looking at the names of the people, the emir means "leader" in Persian.
Persians can marry four wives, so Faris Rashid's thirty-two brothers are also intimate, Faris Rashid and Melzoug are half-brothers, Faris Rashid has only one half-brother, but this younger brother is not yet an adult, and he can't help Faris Rashid, so Faris Rashid can only rely on himself.
"The holy city is in our hands, the Aziz family is indeed a mouse-throwing weapon, they don't attack now, but it doesn't mean that they will never launch it, I said that our Rashid family is at a critical juncture of life and death, it's not alarmist, if we don't take the initiative to seek all possible help, then the Rashid family will disappear sooner or later." When Faris Rashid spoke, his eyes were always on the current patriarch of the Rashid family, Ashlev Rashid, who was also Faris Rashid's father: "It is really nonsense to say that the Lanfang people give me benefits, the Lanfang people currently have the advantage in Iraq, Angus Wollaston is ready to flee Kuwait City, Iraq is about to be the Iraq of Lanfang, and Abdul that idiot is involved in it when he should not interfere, Saudi Arabia has become the next target of Lanfang, what qualifications do you think we have to put forward conditions to Lanfang people now? ”
Speaking of this, Faris Rashid glanced at Emir and Merzug, and there was no contempt or anger in his eyes, only deep sadness: "I can tell you clearly, if we don't seize this opportunity to reach an agreement with Lan Fang, then we won't get anything, maybe tomorrow will be the end of the Rashid family, do you think Abdul can withstand the attack of the Lan Fang people, that is absolutely impossible, the British can't withstand the attack of the Lan Fang people, why should Abdul resist Lan Fang's tanks and artillery?" When the Lanfang people solve Abdul, do you think the Lanfang people will let us go because Mecca is a holy city? They would have dared to take Jerusalem! ”
Farris knew that Emir and Merzug were not that stupid, they couldn't have understood the current situation, and the reason why Elmi and Merzug questioned Faris was entirely because of prestige, or because of the issue of dominance in the communication with Lan Fang.
Saudi Arabia does have a similar tradition of "establishing a long heir", but it is by no means static, as far as Faris knows, Faris's father Ashlefer was not the "eldest son" when he took over the position of patriarch.
Faris Rashid was indeed sharp-tongued, and when he said this, Myrzug and the emir immediately blushed.
Merzug was still able to exercise restraint, and Emir immediately scolded: "You bastard, this is the attitude you should have when talking to your brothers, I must teach you a lesson today!" ”
Emir said, pulling out a whip from nowhere, and walking towards Faris menacingly.
Between brothers, in front of their father, it is definitely impossible to use a knife or a gun, and it is enough to whip it with a whip.
You don't even have to smoke a "meal", even if you smoke it, it's enough to discredit Faris.
"Enough!" Ashleph Rashid on the throne finally spoke up.
Ashlev Rashid spoke a little sensitively, just as the whip was about to fall on Faris's head, and if it had been a few seconds late, the prestige that Faris's had accumulated through the agreement with Lan Fang would have been swept away.
Therefore, Emir was really unwilling, even if Ashleph Rashid had already spoken, Emir did not immediately retreat to his original position, but stood in front of Faris still fierce, and his hand carrying the whip was trembling slightly.
Ashrev Rashid didn't speak, just stared at the emir with a grim gaze that seemed like substance.
"Emir, listen to your father." Melzug's voice was not loud, just enough for Ashlev Rashid to hear.
This time the emir behaved very obediently, and immediately retreated to his original position, and the whip in his hand also disappeared magically.
Seeing all this happening in front of him, Ashleph Rashid couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.
The sons are all unconscious, Faris's stubbornness Ashleph Rashid is in his eyes, and the rebellious Ashleph Rashid of the Emir is also in his eyes, but what hurts Ashleph Rashid the most is Miles Zug's cleverness.
Could it be that by dismissing the emir, he would be able to uphold the authority of Ashleph Rashid as the patriarch?
Could it be that using the emir as a spearman proves the prestige of Merzug among the brothers?
As the "eldest son", Ashleph Rashid also spent a lot of effort on Milesug, and was willing to send Faris to find little hopeless assistance, but leaving Miles by his side is the best proof of this. But at this moment, Ashleph Rashid knew that perhaps it was time to make a change, at least to give Faris a chance.
As a patriarch, leading the clan forward is of course the most important, and fairness is the only way to maintain the authority of the patriarch.
Melzug clearly doesn't understand this yet.
As he left the council chamber, Faris was accompanied by an additional retinue named Farhad.
Farhad was one of the leaders of Ashleph Rashid's bodyguard, and Ashleif Rashid sent the guy named "The Leopard" to Faris' side as a bodyguard.
The purpose is self-evident.
