Chapter 290: Recruiting Zhu Di

Of course my brother-in-law can't be killed.

Putting aside the relationship between the two, Xiao Fan still has a good impression of Zhu Gaochi. This guy is as fat as a pig and is a cripple man. He can actually hook up with so many brothel women. With this alone, Zhu Gaochi won Xiao Fan's respect.

The appearance is terrible. If you don’t have some real talent and knowledge, how can you show mercy everywhere? The brothel women in this era are not like the bitches who only recognize money in their previous lives. Sometimes learning this thing is more important than money. Famous brothel women do not rely solely on serving people. To be honest, regardless of appearance, conversation, temperament, etiquette, talent, brothel women are much better than those ladies who are raised in the boudoir. Rather than saying that they serve people in their own eyes, it is better to say that their real work nature is actually communication and guidance, that is, the type of female public relations and intimate sisters in their previous lives.

This shows that Zhu Gaochi is a pure and noble person, who is separated from the low-level interest. If Xiao Fan's impression of him was like a pig walking upright, then Zhu Gaochi's impression in Xiao Fan's heart has been greatly sublimated. He is so elegant and refined and passionate, of course he is not a pig, but a fat man.

When the two guards were escorting Zhu Gaochi out, he did not yell in fear like his two younger brothers, but sighed very much and followed him out, staggering without hesitation.

From the time his father rebelled, Zhu Gaochi understood what happened today. Since the court mobilized a large army to conquer, it means that the court would not compromise. At this time, the lives of the three brothers became less important. Killing or not killing was in the mind of Xiao Fan.

Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son of King Yan, was not very favored by Zhu Di. It can be said that he was suppressed everywhere. Zhu Di looked at him disliked. If it were not for the rule of establishing the eldest son as the legitimate rule, how could the prince of the King of Yan be his turn to be a fat and lame person? However, Zhu Di's rebellion without regard for the consequences despite the fact that his three brothers were still hostage in the capital, made Zhu Gaochi feel disheartened. The ruthless family was, and the desire for the throne and power was always higher than the bloody family affection.

"Come back!" Xiao Fan finally called Zhu Gaochi back with a smile.

This brother-in-law is the only brother that Huamei admits, and no one can kill him.

Zhu Gaochi, who was called back, was not surprised to escape from death, and his expression was still calm, as if he had known that Xiao Fan was just scaring him.

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "My uncle has offended me. Actually, I don't like to play this trick of scaring people. It's too low-level and vulgar. But just now, your Zhu Lao San insisted on believing that I will kill you, and he also said so many benefits of killing you. Not only is it reasonable and concise in his words, but it is also forward-looking. It's so broad that I feel embarrassed to say hello to others if I don't kill you..."

Zhu Gaochi smiled sarcastically: "That stupid guy is often self-righteous and does not know the world is high..."

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "I just saw Zhu Laosan talking passionately. I thought he was making harsh words. You know, the people in the Jianghu once gave me a nickname called 'specialized treatment and disobedience'. The person who made harsh words was also within my treatment range. Since he was so eager to die, I had to help him..."

Zhu Gaochi blinked, and suddenly Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Master Xiao is not here to scare us prisoners today, right?"

Xiao Fan smiled and said seriously: "I'm not that bored. Today I came to let you go."

Zhu Gaochi was stunned: "Let me go? Where to go?"

"You can go back to Peking, and you can go back to see your father. Congratulations, you are free."

Zhu Gaochi opened his eyes wide: "Why?"

Xiao Fan was silent for a long time and said in a low tone: "You have been following our court army to fight. You have also seen the current situation. To be honest, your father's chance of victory is very low. Although the court was defeated in the battle of Baigouhe, we quickly gathered the defeated army. In Jinan, the Yan army could not capture it for a long time. The court also reacted to all parties, fighting against the country with a corner of Beiping. If the court sent a foolish and incompetent commander, your father may have a chance of victory, but unfortunately, your father's opponent is me. I, Xiao Fan, is not stupid and has great talent. He has fought with your father for several years and has taken a lot of advantages. Now he has an absolute advantage in military strength. Your father has no possibility of success. If you plan to usurp the throne, it is just a dream of yellow beams..."

Zhu Gaochi stared at Xiao Fan with his eyes and asked, "Why let me go back?"

Xiao Fan chuckled: "Suggest him as his eldest son, Meng, it's time to wake up, he can't win, let alone become the emperor, he has no life..."

Zhu Gaochi's eyes narrowed slightly: "You want me to be your lobbyist and persuade my father to surrender to the court?"

"That's about that."

"Why should I help you?"

Xiao Fan said seriously: "It's not helping me, it's helping your father, it's saving your father's life!"

Zhu Gaochi was silent. He knew the meaning of Xiao Fan's words. At present, the court pressed step by step. Yan's army retreated step by step. If Baoding Prefecture is lost, the Yan army can only retreat to Beiping. Behind Beiping is Shanhaiguan, and he cannot retreat any longer. Unless his father is willing to lead the Yan army soldiers to exile in the grassland and desert, and be in harmony with the Tartars. According to his father's unyielding temperament, he will never be willing to die. If his father does not surrender, Beiping Prefecture will be the last battle in his life.

Zhu Gaochi was not stupid. He saw clearly that once the imperial army launched an attack, it would be impossible to show mercy. Everyone was red in their eyes and could do whatever they wanted to fight for military merits. At that time, Xiao Fan could not save his father even if he was the commander of the three armies. The question is, why did Xiao Fan save his father?

"Are you no mortal enemy of your father? Why should you save him?" Zhu Gaochi asked curiously.

Xiao Fan said seriously: "Because I have been eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name recently, and I don't want to kill..."

Zhu Gaochi: “…………”

"Okay, actually I saved your father for myself. After all, he is also Huamei's biological father, my father-in-law. If I ask me when I feel sensible in the future, where is my grandfather? How should I answer him?... Sorry, your grandfather was not a good character back then. He drank alcohol and beat Jissaurus while having lunch. After I exposed it, he turned against me. We pulled up people and fought. Later, we were so happy that we accidentally killed your grandfather. Your father... "

Zhu Gaochi's head was full of black lines: "…………”

Xiao Fan spread his hands: "It's obvious that this nonsense reason is not convincing, right?"

"That's right, it's too nonsense." Zhu Gaochi's expression was very stiff.

"God will is impermanent. I don't know if my descendants can still be rich and noble, but I at least teach them some principles of life, such as the preciousness of family affection, the beauty of love, etc. These principles are more valuable than gold and silver. I want to tell them that relatives, lovers, and friends are always worthy of protection and guarding themselves. Evil or kindness doesn't matter. These principles are the bottom line of being a human being. If I kill my father-in-law now, how can I have the face to tell my children in the future?"

Zhu Gaochi's fat face showed a touch of emotion: "...I didn't expect that you are such a person who values ​​love and righteousness."

Xiao Fan waved his hand quickly: "Don't get me wrong. Not killing your father has nothing to do with respect to love and friendship. Letting your father live is nothing more than to use my future children as a prop, proving that their father is a kind and humane father. As long as I don't offend me, I usually don't kill my father-in-law..."

Zhu Gaochi: “…………”

Why does this guy have to portray himself as a heartless bad guy?

"Do you want to save my father's life? Are there any conditions?"

Xiao Fan nodded: "There are certain conditions. First, your father must hand over the military power and stop rebelling immediately. The 100,000 Yan troops surrender. Second, he can't act like the prince. He tied his hands and followed me to the capital to apologize. Whether he was sent to the frontier or to house arrest in the capital depends on the emperor's intention..."

“Is there any more?”

Xiao Fan was silent for a while, stared at Zhu Gaochi, and said word by word: "Third, I will give the death of Monk Daoyan. This demon monk cannot be kept. It will always be a disaster by your father's side."

Zhu Gaochi's eyelids twitched, and he lowered his head without making a sound.

Xiao Fan patted his shoulder comfortably and said earnestly: "This is also for the reputation of your father. After all, your father is a person within the system. You should pay attention to the influence of everything. The rumors outside are very unpleasant. He said that he has a messy relationship with Daoyan, which will damage the reputation of the Tian family. The man style is elegant, but it is actually quite disgusting. If your father really can't bear to give up Daoyan, I can ask someone to cut off Daoyan's butt and hang it on the tree, so that your father can admire the chrysanthemums every day, and see it leisurely... butt, elegant! It's so elegant..."

Zhu Gaochi's face turned blue: "…………”

How great it would be to have a knife in your hand now. I really want to stab this bastard to death with one knife! The matter between Father and Daoyan was purely created by you. Now you told me to pay attention to the influence? Pay attention to your sister...

Zhu Gaochi left Zhending Mansion and went alone to the Yan army camp in Baoding. He shouldered a mission, which was related to the life of the King of Yan.

Xiao Fan stood in the gate of the camp, and the soldiers patrolling by the patrol saluted him. Xiao Fan nodded lightly, but his eyes were staring at Zhu Gaochi who was riding a horse in front of him. His fat body made the horse stagger a little, and his speed was not too fast.

Xiao Fan sighed softly.

Zhu Di, this is the last chance for you. Whether you can grasp it depends on yourself. End this war as soon as possible and commit less murder.

It was not a temporary kindness or a sudden whim to persuade Zhu Di to surrender. Xiao Fan had already made up his mind at the beginning of the war. No matter how many grudges he had between him and Zhu Di, he was the father of the thrush and his father-in-law after all. This was an iron-like fact. The Yan army has shown its defeat at the moment, and Xiao Fan really can't take ruthless measures against him. Behind the glory of a high-ranking minister, there are some dirty tricks, but if the knife in his hand is stabbed even by his relatives, wouldn't human nature be wiped out?

Xiao Fan did not want to leave this stain on his life, nor did he want the perfect father in the eyes of his children to have flaws in the future. The Xiao family may be prominent for a hundred years and be highly favored, but it is by no means a ruthless and unrighteous cold-blooded family.

There is another reason. Zhu Di may be cruel and cruel, or ambitious, but it cannot be denied that he was a man of integrity and responsibility. In the history of his previous life, Zhu Di successfully usurped the throne and became emperor, and created a prosperous era of Yongle with his ability. At that time, the Ming Dynasty reached its peak in terms of civil and military skills. Although his character was a little bad, he was a qualified emperor. For this reason, Xiao Fan couldn't bear to die. Whether it was a hero or a hero, he always had an admirable side. It was always a pity for a person with advantages to die.

I just hope that Zhu Di will not force himself to bear this name of unrighteousness and filial piety, otherwise the same old saying will be the same, and I will dare to bury him if he dares to die.

As the sun sets, a fat man riding a horse, gradually moving away on the ancient road outside the camp, his figure is so bleak and lonely...

When Cao Yi walked to Xiao Fan, looked at the ancient road that extended to the end in front of him, and suddenly asked: "Zhu Di has three sons in your hands, why did you send Zhu Gaochi to lobby Zhu Di? Can the other two not do it?"

The faint smile on Xiao Fan's face disappeared, he was silent for a while, and said quietly: "The landlord's family has no surplus food..."

Cao Yi was stunned: "What does it mean?"

"This fat man weighs more than 300 kilograms. Do you know how much food he wants to eat every day? What should I do if my 300,000 army was eaten by him?"

“…………”

After Zhu Gaochi left, Xiao Fan immediately ordered the entire army to settle in Zhending Prefecture and not pursue the rebels for the time being.

It was originally a great situation, and the generals in the army knew that the Yan army was defeated, and the imperial army took over the remaining power of Zhending's victory. It was a great opportunity to take advantage of the victory and completely wipe out the rebels. Why did Lord Xiao give this order?

After the military order was issued, the vanguard officer Ping'an, the left guard commanded Sheng Yong, the right guard commanded Qu Neng, the rear commander Geng Bingwen and other generals hurried to the commander's tent to see Xiao Fan, and wanted to find out the truth.

Xiao Fan did not explain, but just smiled. It was not the time to surrender Zhu Di. Now the situation is beneficial to the court. These generals are eager to fight and fight and make military achievements for themselves. They will definitely not agree with surrender. Once Zhu Di surrendered, they will have nothing to do. Where can they find military achievements? This is too early to say, I am afraid that these generals under him will cause some trouble.

But for no reason, the commander of the first army did not move. He still had to give an explanation, otherwise why would he convince the public?

Xiao Fan was so anxious that he was asked by the endless generals, so he had to imitate Taixu's divine appearance, pinched his fingers and rolled his eyes, "The hexagram says: Wu horses clash with Mao rabbits, and the year is evil in the north, which is very bad."

"What does it mean?" The generals were stunned.
