Chapter 282: I Got It, I Can't Figure It Out (Chapter 6)
That night, Chu Mo and Xu Fufu did not go back to Fanfu, but found a tavern casually, and the two brothers drank wine all night.
Xu Fufu's embarrassed appearance of bleeding from the corners of his eyes was also seen by many people.
Early the next morning, the people in Yanhuang City were stunned by several sudden news.
"The ten sons of the Xu family, I don't know what I did wrong, which angered the head of the family...... His grandfather, Xu Zhongliang, the first assistant of the cabinet, was directly expelled from the house, and the line was drawn from then on!"
"Xu Zhongliang suddenly came to the north of the city to inspect, and the entourage didn't know why......"
"Lord Shousuke entered a small courtyard and called a gentle woman in her thirties sister!"
Lord Shoufu told the people around him that this woman was a distant relative of the Xu family, who had been doing business in Daqi and had lost contact with her for many years. Now I am very happy to get the news of my little sister. ”
Chu Mo officially announced to the public that Liu Mei'er, the current owner of the Gluttonous Building, is his sister-in-law! He is the king of Chu, his sister-in-law...... Naturally a princess!"
"The gluttonous building was suddenly announced to be sold to the public, and the price was higher than the normal market price...... It's half cheaper!"
"Xu Fufu, who was expelled from the house, said that he would get married soon......"
One message after another, it is dizzying.
But everyone has a feeling that the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
The Xu family, the first official family of the dynasty, who has always been calm, why did so many things suddenly break out?
Fanfu.
At this moment, the invincible old man Fan was walking around the mansion, quite anxious.
Sui Hongru had just gone out, and he was also confused by these news, and he had to figure out what happened as soon as possible.
The whole Fan Mansion was quiet.
After Fan Wushu walked around the room for a while, he finally pushed the door open, frowned, and muttered, "This little thing...... Which one is it singing? Why all of a sudden...... So many things? Are they all implicated?"
As he was talking, Chu Mo and Xu Fufu entered the house one after the other.
Fan Wushu saw that although the two of them were in good spirits, they were full of alcohol, and they frowned immediately.
"Grandpa, don't say anything, just listen to me. Chu Mo used a little luck, melted all the alcohol on his body, and then looked at his grandfather and said, "Great Xia." We can't stay any longer. ”
"Huh?" the corners of the old man's mouth twitched, and he looked at Chu Mo: "You say it again?"
"That's ......" Chu Mo told his grandfather about the conversation with Xu Zhongliang last night.
Although the old man is also shrewd, he is not proficient in this kind of matter related to the government and politics, he frowned and looked at Chu Mo: "Didn't Lord Shoufu say anything......?
"Just an opinion?" Chu Mo laughed, shook his head and said, "Grandpa, unless we rebel directly now." Kill in the palace and cut down the emperor, otherwise, Daxia ...... There's no place for us anymore! It's better to leave early. In this way, the emperor can also ...... at ease"
"Why?" Fan Wushu couldn't help but take two steps back, and said with a gloomy expression: "What did we do wrong?"
Xu Fufu floated aside, and he also melted away his drunken luck. Just with a drunken body, it was for others to see. The two brothers drank all night, things to talk about. It's already been discussed. Xu Fufu finally understood his grandfather's distress.
Deep in Xu Zhongliang's heart, he is quite optimistic about Chu Mo!
In other words, even if Chu Mo really wanted to rebel and take over the world of Great Xia, he was optimistic!
Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to find that kind of untenable excuse and directly drive Xu Fufu out.
As a veteran minister for many years, Xu Zhong knows very well in his conscience that it is almost impossible to make the emperor change.
Although the emperor is eloquent and strategic, he is also broad-minded...... This point, from his various canonizations to Chu Mo, can be felt that he is not the kind of emperor who is narrow-minded and does not dare to reward meritorious officials.
However, his biggest flaw is that he is suspicious!
Others don't know, but Xu Zhongliang knows best, the emperor can't even trust his own sons, let alone outsiders.
Why was Xia Jing suddenly kicked out of the position of head of the cabinet back then? Was he really implicated by his son? In fact, it was just an excuse.
The reason why Xu Zhongliang still ran to the north of the city, among which Xuancheng Long Qiushui is his sister, is actually equivalent to a statement to the emperor.
At the same time, endorse Chu Mo!
Once Chu Mo does something rebellious in the future, he Xu Zhongliang ...... He must be implicated, because he is Grandma Chu Mo's brother!
There is such a relationship, which is equivalent to the heart of the emperor.
There's so much to cover!
In fact, the best way is for Xu Zhongliang to directly expel Xu Fufu from the Xu family, draw a clear line, and don't have the slightest connection with Chu Mo's side.
But Xu Zhongliang did it anyway.
From this point, Xu Fufu also understands that his grandfather is still the person who has responsibility!
"Grandpa Fan, in fact, you didn't do anything wrong, what was wrong was that your credit was too great, which made the emperor feel uneasy and made the ministers feel red, that's all. Xu Fufu said on the side.
"That's all?" Fan Wudi was a little incredulous.
Xu Fufu nodded: "Yes, that's all!"
Fan Wushu muttered: "Even if you are uneasy, even if your eyes are red...... But now is the time when the war is going on after all, aren't you afraid that this will disturb the morale of the army?"
Chu Mo said on the side: "Grandpa...... In addition to the army you are leading, what other legion will disturb the morale of our army?"
Fan Wushu was speechless for a while.
In fact, the old man also understood a little bit in his heart, but he didn't think so thoroughly, and now he was finally enlightened by the two juniors, you and me.
In the end, this old general, who had fought all his life and had never bent over, squatted at the door of his house with a blank face, his expression gloomy.
Keep your head down and don't say a word.
Chu Mo looked distressed, and said softly: "Grandpa, let's go, it's actually okay to leave." While everyone hasn't torn their faces yet, they left, and they left. ”
Fan Wudi nodded lightly: "Listen to you, then let's go." ”
In fact, Fan Wushu's heart was full of self-blame at the moment, in his opinion, if it wasn't for him wanting to give Long Qiushui an identity, Chu Mo would not have begged Xu Zhongliang. Then, these series of things will not happen.
Chu Mo looked at his grandfather, who had lost his spirit, and said, "This matter ...... Sooner or later, it will break out, and Grandpa Xu Shoufu will ...... In fact, it is just to make this contradiction manifest, and then, to control the situation to a minimum. If this contradiction had been between me and the emperor, it would not have been the result it is now!"
"Now it's the best result!" Xu Fufu muttered to the side.
"I understand, but I can't figure it out......" the old man sighed heavily. (To be continued......)
