Father can be an enemy to the country

When Daotong started to sweat, Zhu Zhenfang asked, "Have you finished drawing all the circles?"

"The painting is finished." Daotong nodded and said with a smile: "As His Highness expected, they were made guilty by this move, and they all went to Baiyun Villa to discuss countermeasures last night."

"What countermeasures?" Zhu Zhen asked.

"The countermeasure is that He Di went to find Marquis Yongjia early this morning." Daotong replied.

"Oh?" Zhu Zhen raised his thick eyebrows and said, "It seems that he is preparing for a showdown with me."

"The lower official also feels that it's time for Zhu Liangzu to come out and make some moves." Daotong nodded and said, "Now it's time for a competition."

"That's not right. Everyone has a clear card. What's the comparison?" Zhu Zhen shook his head and said: "The competition now is about courage. The competition is about who can make the other party believe that he dares to risk himself. Whoever believes in it will win." If you lose, the brave will be starved to death, and the timid will be starved to death.”

"Uh..." Dao Tong was speechless for a while. His Highness is obviously chivalrous, courageous, wise and mighty, but why does he always have a rogue temperament?

At this time, Deng Duo reported to Zhu Liangzu for an audience.

"Haha, it's said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here." Lao Liu smiled and said, "Let him come over."

"Then I'll go ahead and avoid it." Daotong stood up and left.

"No, just hide behind the screen." Zhu Zhen shook his head: "Just be an audience."

"Okay." Daotong smiled and said, "Then I will listen attentively to the wonderful battle between His Highness and Marquis Yongjia."

"I won't let you down." Zhu Zhen smiled and waved his hand.

~~

After a while, Yongjiahou followed Deng Duo in and bowed deeply to Zhu Zhen.

"It was really a sin that I bothered His Highness to come to the house in person the day before yesterday. I have come to apologize today."

"You are so polite, Marquis Yongjia." Zhu Zhen offered a seat with a smile, and then said as if telling a joke: "There is something you may not know yet. On the day I went there, Dao Tong also led someone to arrest someone pretending to be a gentleman. The young master’s thief.”

As if he didn't notice the corners of Zhu Liangzu's mouth turning down, he smiled to himself and said: "That person is so similar that even fellow Taoists were not sure and asked me if I wanted to inform the Marquis. I told him no, because The general said it himself, the young Marquis has already gone to Yunnan on official business."

Lao Liu was overjoyed and said: "So that person must be a fake, otherwise either the general lied to deceive the king, or the young marquis became a deserter. There is no third possibility, don't you think so, Mr. Marquis?"

Lao Liu looked at Zhu Liangzu with a smile, his speaking speed became slower and slower, and his tone became less friendly.

"Oh, that kid is actually Zhu Xian." Zhu Liangzu knocked out his teeth and swallowed the blood, and said with a forced smile: "But the general has already investigated clearly. Zhu Xian did not deserter, but he has urgent military information to report back. , accidentally hit by Daozhi County..., oh, now it is hit by the road, it is a complete misunderstanding. "

"Really?" Zhu Zhen said with a look of astonishment: "This is such a big deal. Isn't this going to make Mr. Ling suffer a lot? No, no, no, it must be dealt with seriously."

"No, no, it's just a misunderstanding." Zhu Liangzu said quickly and generously. "It's just like when the official misunderstood Daozhi County."

The Taoist fellow behind the screen almost cursed after hearing this. Zhu Liangzu had only been honest for a few days, why did his true colors show up again?

It was obvious that he was caught lying, so he dared to tell another lie, and then put a shit basin on his head, and even wanted to write off the old debt with himself. How fucking shameless!

In front of the screen, Zhu Zhen waved his hands and said, "Hey, one code must be the same, both things must be clarified."

He asked Zhu Liangzu again: "By the way, what kind of emergency military situation is it?"

"It's just that Zhu Xian thought it was urgent, but in fact it was not that urgent." Zhu Liangzu smiled and said: "It has already passed and is not worth mentioning."

"Yongjia Marquis had better make it clear," Zhu Zhen said politely, "It's not that I can't trust you, it's just that everything must be based on evidence. Even if I want to punish my fellow Taoist, I still have to convince him, right?"

"Now tell me the whole thing, and then call Zhu Xian and ask him again. As long as he can tell the truth exactly, it means there is an urgent military situation." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "I will let Dao Comrade I apologize to your father and son!"

"No, no, no, really no need." Zhu Liangzu waved his hand quickly.

"Is it unnecessary, or is it not true to the confession?" Zhu Zhen sneered, and the atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly collapsed. Even the ice fan couldn't stop the sweat on Yongjiahou's head.

Seeing that he was speechless, Zhu Zhen slapped the table and said: "Yongjia Hou, I have never seen you so dishonest! Everyone knows things well, but you are trying to be clever with me, you Are you smart or stupid?!"

"..." Zhu Liangzu was extremely embarrassed, but he was no longer embarrassed. He took out his handkerchief and wiped off the sweat, then said as if he was a dead pig not afraid of boiling water:

"Your Highness, calm down. This is a world full of lies. Everyone either has no choice but to lie, or they take the initiative to lie. Just tacitly agree to it. There is no need to take it too seriously." He glanced at Lao Liu and said:

"For example, His Highness said that the person Dao Tong arrested was the fake Zhu Xian, which is an outright lie. In fact, you know in your heart that the person Dao Tong arrested is the real Zhu Xian."

"Are you not pretending at all?" Zhu Zhen looked at Zhu Liangzu with a sneer and said, "Then let's have a look at what good things you have done since coming to Guangdong, right?"

"This matter is not urgent." Zhu Liangzu shook his head and said, "I am here to be entrusted by others to be a lobbyist."

"He Di's gang of Guangdong rich people?" Zhu Zhen asked in a deep voice.

"Yes." Zhu Liangzu nodded and said in a deep voice: "I heard that His Highness wanted to force them to rebel. Is this true?"

The two sides officially entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat, and Dao Tong behind the screen was so nervous that he did not dare to breathe.

"Again, you are confusing right and wrong!" Zhu Zhen snorted: "Their disciples committed a crime, and the officials went to get them but were kicked out. I sent Dao Zengtai to lead troops to arrest the people, but they were kicked out. Dao. Tongdu told them that resisting arrest was a rebellion, but they still ignored it. Isn’t this a clear indication of their intention to rebel?!”

"Your Highness is so unreasonable..." Zhu Liangzu sighed and said: "As the saying goes, 'eat according to the food, tailor your clothes'. If Guangdong is not in chaos, it is not the small households and scattered people, but the big families. As long as the big families are not in chaos, There will be no chaos in Guangdong. On the contrary, as long as the big families are in chaos, Guangdong will become a mess."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Daotong knew this, so he dared to deal with the generals, but he never dared to target the local tycoons in Guangdong. Therefore, His Highness Lao Shizi's "Book of Admonition to the People of Yangcheng" was completely discarded and picked up. Sesame lost the watermelon!”

"That's nonsense. The small retail households you talk about account for 60% of Guangzhou's population. If it were applied to the entire Guangdong Province, they would account for more than 80%!" Zhu Zhen said tit for tat: "Who is the leader and who is the leader? Who is the sesame and who is the watermelon?" ?!”

"No matter how many of them there are, they are nothing more than a pile of scattered sand." Zhu Liangzu shook his head and smiled: "The way to control the people is to grasp the fundamentals. The fundamental is to unite the large clans."

"No, they are cancer!" Zhu Zhen also shook his head decisively and said: "I am here to eradicate these cancers and eliminate harm for the people!"

As he spoke, he raised his voice and said: "Yongjia Hou, you came just in time. I am about to send someone to find you. Now, as an imperial envoy and governor, I order you to immediately lead troops to put down the rebellion and eradicate all those cancers!"

"I'm sorry, but I obey." Zhu Liangzu was also completely at odds with him.
