MTL - My Brother-in-law is the Prince-Chapter 24 reunion
Chapter 24 Reunion
Although it is a very painful thing to cover the quilt with a sack.
It's just a familiarity once, and when Zhang Anshi reappeared in that desolate old house, sure enough, that 'old man' had been waiting for a long time.
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile. Relatively speaking, he was obviously much more refined today.
He said to Zhang Anshi, "Please."
Zhang Anshi smiled wryly and said, "Brother... how can you treat your friends like this."
Zhu Di felt a little sorry. After all, he was not born an emperor. When he was in the army for a long time in Peiping, he looked more like a general. Because of this, facing Zhang Anshi's complaint, Zhu Di said: "Don't blame him."
Zhang Anshi sat down and said, "How about my medicine?"
"It's wonderful." Zhu Dixi smiled and said, "Once this medicine is used, it will take effect immediately. It's just a little brother, do you need to take medicine next?"
"Of course, you must take medication on time until you are completely cured." Zhang Anshi said.
Zhang Anshi also heaved a long sigh of relief. The man in front of him is moody, and his whereabouts are very strange. The poor prince's brother-in-law doesn't believe him. If there are 100 or 80 guards, he won't have to be afraid.
But now, as long as the other party still needs medicine, then there is no need to be afraid to ask him for it for the time being.
Zhu Di nodded, with a look of conviction on his face: "The medicine you sent can last for another three to five days at most."
"This... I still have a bottle with me, which can last for ten days and a half months, but what's next..." Zhang Anshi said: "It's not easy for me to prepare this medicine. I don't know how many precious medicinal materials are stored in the world. I'm not going to hide it. ..."
Zhu Di smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will treat you well."
After finishing speaking, he pouted at the guard on one side, and the guard understood, and took out a wad of precious money from his pocket.
The precious banknotes were piled up in front of Zhang Anshi, Zhang Anshi quickly picked them up and began to count them.
These are all one-hundred-peat banknotes of the Ming Dynasty, which are extremely large and rarely seen in the market.
There are a hundred pieces, that's 10,000 guan. According to the current market price...uh... probably around five hundred taels of silver.
Still a bit of a disadvantage, is that all?
Zhang Anshi was a little disappointed: "Brother, why does your precious banknote seem to be newly printed, look... the ink is not dry."
Zhang Anshi pinched his fingers, and there were still ink marks on his fingers.
Zhu Di pretended to be surprised: "Is it because of the wet weather recently?"
Zhang Anshi doesn't care about these, it's better to put it in his pocket, immediately put the treasure into his arms, and then grinned again: "Hey, I'm sorry for dispensing medicine for you, but I still lose money. Forget it, I don't want to lose money." Regardless of these, who made me hit it off with you?"
Zhu Di is in a particularly good mood today: "It's been a long time since I've had a drink with me, come on, happy, let's have a few drinks."
Zhu Di drinks a lot.
Zhang Anshi's drinking capacity... is not bad.
In ancient times, the alcoholic content of water and wine was low, so it was just drinking indiscriminately.
After several glasses of wine, Zhu Di said, "Using glasses is too unpleasant, let's use bowls."
Zhang Anshidao: "I use a cup, you use a bowl. I am still young, and drinking will affect my development."
"What is development?"
Zhang Anshi thought about it and found it difficult to explain.
But Zhu Di didn't care about it. After drinking, he became serious, pulled Zhang Anshi's wrist and said, "You saved my wife's life. But there is one thing, I think it's better to make it clear."
Zhang Anshi said: "You say."
Zhu Di said very sincerely: "About today's emperor eating shit...no, eating shit, would you like to hear me say something?"
Zhang Anshi looked down at the dishes on the table, and immediately lost his appetite.
Zhu Di said: "Look, is it true that the emperor was in Beiping at the beginning? The Jianwen puppet emperor wanted to cut down the vassal. Since that time, the emperor had already made preparations for the Qing Dynasty in Beiping, so what should be done first?"
"What?"
"On the one hand, it is of course to paralyze Jianwen and the puppet emperor, but on the other hand, of course, it is to win people's hearts, right? To paralyze Jianwen is to buy time, to win people's hearts, and to prepare for Jingnan."
Zhang Anshi thought for a while, then nodded and said, "You're right."
"In this case..." Zhu Di became even more excited at this time, and he dragged Zhang Anshi drunkenly and said, "Then let me ask you, if he pretended to be crazy in order to protect himself, and even went to eat dung, what would the soldiers in Beiping see?" , what would you think? How can a person in a high position let himself into such an embarrassing situation. "
"Let me tell you the truth, if you want to say that the emperor claimed to be sick and paralyzed Jianwen, that is true, but if you want to say that he ate...eat...dung, it is absolutely impossible."
Zhang Anshi waved his hand: "I don't care about this a long time ago, let's have a good drink."
Zhu Di's face became serious: "No, it's better to say something clearly."
Zhang Anshi said: "But I think what you said is unreasonable."
"Why doesn't it make sense?"
Zhang Anshidao: "Look, since His Majesty cares about his own reputation, he doesn't dare to run naked or eat shit..."
Zhu Di's body shook, and he said in surprise: "Wait a minute, why are you still running naked?"
Zhu Di began to imagine the scene of himself running around in the cold winter months of Beiping naked, with disheveled hair, eating **** by the side of the road.
"One meaning, let's not worry about the details." Zhang Anshi said: "If it's what you said, just because you care about reputation, it doesn't make sense, then Sun Bin pretends to be crazy, Han Xin's humiliation, and Sima Yi in front of others in order to paralyze Cao Shuang. The face is drooling everywhere, don't they want to lose face?"
Zhu Di's face twitched.
The guard on the side rolled his eyes upwards. If it had been a few days earlier, he would definitely have turned his face, and then cursed boldly, but now...he is used to it.
Zhang An Shidao: "Besides, if you say this, it will damage the image of the emperor in my mind. How can a great hero like His Majesty care about the so-called face?"
"A real hero can endure what ordinary people can't bear, and do extraordinary things. How can he care about other people's eyes? The reason why those Jingnan soldiers followed the emperor was because of the favor that the emperor gave them on weekdays, so they Only then did he dare to follow suit and follow him to death, so why would he not be happy because of eating **** and running naked?"
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhang An Shidao: "Besides, being a man, streaking and eating x are nothing..."
Zhu Di felt a puff in his heart, frowned and said, "Why are you running naked again?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Let's not study these words carefully."
Zhu Di's eyes widened, and he tried to be patient and said: "What do you mean don't look into it carefully? Isn't this dirtying people's innocence out of thin air?"
Zhang An Shidao: "I'm talking about what you said just now. I just think it doesn't make sense to explain what you said just now."
Zhu Di said: "Okay, okay, okay, you are really confusing black and white. How did you know that you saw him running naked and eating x?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Then which eye of yours sees that he doesn't run naked and eat x?"
Zhu Di broke his defense.
Originally, he wanted to be reasonable. After all, Zhang Anshi is considered a benefactor, and although this son speaks freely, Zhu Di still appreciates this guy very much.
If it was someone else, he would have chopped it up and fed it to the dogs.
But Zhu Di can't, since he can't, then we still have to correct this kid's weird concept.
Zhu Di already felt that he was extremely patient, and his analysis was very reasonable.
As long as Zhang Anshi can repent, his painstaking efforts will not be in vain.
Who knew that this guy would not only raise the bar, but also add a new "streaking" element to this version of the "story".
Zhu Di slapped the table and cursed: "Fuck your mother!"
"Why are you still swearing?" Zhang Anshi was angry: "I think you are old, and I don't care about you, but if you swear again, I tell you, I am not easy to bully. Fuck, you are the only one who can swear, right? "
Zhu Di took a deep breath: "Come on, sit down, and I will talk to you again, what you did just now was wrong, the emperor is not Sima Yi, nor Han Xin and Sun Bin."
Zhang Anshidao: "You are right, the emperor is much more powerful than Sima Yi, Sun Bin and Han Xin."
Zhu Di's face finally softened a bit: "That's right, so it can't be compared."
"But it is because the emperor is more powerful in my mind, so the emperor dares to eat x and run naked."
Zhu Di's old face began to twitch, and his hands trembled as he pressed the table, so that the dishes on the table began to rattle.
When Zhang Anshi saw this, he said, "Well, you're right."
Zhu Di shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "No, even if I'm right, you're not convinced at all."
Zhang Anshi said: "I am completely convinced."
Zhu Di said: "You are hypocrisy!"
Zhang Anshi looked at him aggrievedly and said: "Say yes and no, say no and no, brother, you are a big man, why are you like a woman, let alone whether the emperor eats **** and runs naked, it has nothing to do with us, why should we compare the truth, Isn't this why the emperor is not in a hurry to kill eunuchs?"
Zhu Di said: "This... I can't see it, I can't slander people out of thin air like this."
Zhang An Shidao: "But this is a compliment."
Zhu Di finally fell silent. He lowered his head and drank tactically, taking a sip of wine directly into his stomach.
Zhang Anshi said: "That's right, let's have a good drink, why bother arguing about these things, of course I know, you are an old man from Jingnan, you made great achievements with the emperor, and admired the emperor in your heart. But I am the same, I I also admire His Majesty in my heart, we are on the same path."
Zhu Di said: "Speak less and drink."
Zhang Anshi sat down again, and drank the wine boldly.
Zhu Di felt a little drunk, and his mood finally improved, and he said, "You should come from a famous family."
There is no need to guess at all.
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "I think you are the same."
