Chapter 24: Reunion

Although being quilted in a sack is a very painful thing.

But once again, things get familiar again. When Zhang Anshi appeared in that desolate old house again, it turned out that the '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 polite today.

He said to Zhang Anshi: "Please."

Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly and said: "Brother...how can you treat your friends like this?"

Zhu Di felt a little sorry. After all, he was not born to be an emperor. When he was in Peking, he was more like a general because he had been in the army for a long time. Because of this, when faced with Zhang Anshi's complaints, Zhu Di said: "Don't blame me."

Zhang Anshi sat down and said, "How about my medicine?"

"It's wonderful." Zhu Di said with a smile: "This medicine is effective immediately after use. But little brother, do you still need to use medicine next?"

"Of course, you must take the medicine on time until you are completely healed," Zhang Anshi said.

Zhang Anshi also breathed a long sigh of relief. The man in front of him was moody and his whereabouts were very strange. The poor prince's brother-in-law didn't believe him. If there were one hundred and eighty guards, he wouldn't have to resort to such tactics.

But now, as long as the other party still needs medicine, he can ask for it for the time being, so there is no need to be afraid.

Zhu Di nodded with a convinced look on his face: "The medicine you gave me will 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, 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. In fact,

Let’s not hide anything…”

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

After that, he nuzzled at the guard on one side. The guard understood and took out a wad of treasure money from his arms.

The treasure banknotes were piled in front of Zhang Anshi. Zhang Anshi quickly picked them up and began to count them.

These are Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes worth one hundred guan, which are extremely large and rarely seen on the market.

A hundred pieces, that's ten thousand guan. According to the current market price...well...it's probably around 500 taels of silver.

I'm still at a bit of a disadvantage, that's it?

Zhang Anshi felt a little disappointed: "Brother, this precious note of yours seems to be newly printed. Look... the ink is not even dry yet."

Zhang Anshi pinched his fingers, and there were still ink marks on them.

Zhu Di pretended to be surprised: "Is it because of the recent humid weather?"

Zhang Anshi didn't care about this, it was better to put it in his pocket. He immediately put the treasure banknotes into his arms, and then grinned again: "Hey, it's pitiful that I'm dispensing medicine for you, but you still have to lose money. Forget it, I don't

After all these things, who made me feel like old friends at first sight?"

Zhu Di was in a particularly good mood today: "No one has drank with me for a long time. Come on, let's have a few drinks."

Zhu Di drinks a lot.

Zhang Anshi's drinking capacity... is also acceptable.

The alcohol content of ancient water wine was low, so you could just drink it casually.

After a few glasses of wine, Zhu Di said: "It's too unpleasant to use a cup, why don't we use a bowl?"

Zhang Anshi said: "I use a cup and you use a bowl. I am still young and drinking alcohol affects my development."

“What is development?”

Zhang Anshi thought about it and found it difficult to explain.

But Zhu Di didn't care. After drinking, he started to become serious. He took 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: "Say."

Zhu Di said sincerely: "Would you like to listen to me about the current emperor eating shit... no, eating shit?"

Zhang Anshi lowered his head and looked at the dishes on the table, and suddenly became unappetized.

Zhu Di said: "Look, when the emperor was in Peiping, wasn't it right? The puppet emperor Jianwen wanted to cut down the feudal vassals. Since from that time on, the emperor in Peiping had already made preparations for the Qing Dynasty, what should we do first?"

"What?"

"On the one hand, it is of course to paralyze the pseudo-emperor Jianwen, but secondly, it is of course to win people's hearts, right? To paralyze Jianwen is to buy time, win people's hearts, and to prepare for Jingnan."

Zhang Anshi thought for a while, then nodded and said: "You are right."

"In that case..." Zhu Di became more enthusiastic at this time, and drunkenly pulled Zhang Anshi and said: "Then let me ask you, if he pretends to be crazy and eats dung in order to protect himself, what will the soldiers of Peiping see?

What would you think? How could a person in a high position put himself in such an embarrassing situation?"

"To tell you the truth, if you want to say that the emperor claimed to be sick and paralyzed Jianwen, it is possible, but to say that he ate... ate... excrement, this is absolutely impossible."

Zhang Anshi waved his hand: "I don't care about this a long time ago, let's just have a good drink."

Zhu Di's face darkened: "No, it's better to make some things clear."

Zhang Anshi said: "But I don't think what you said makes sense."

"Why doesn't it make sense?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Look, since His Majesty cares about his reputation, he doesn't dare to run naked or eat shit..."

Zhu Di's body trembled and he said in surprise: "Wait a minute, why are you still running naked?"

In Zhu Di's mind, he began to picture himself naked in the city of Peiping in the cold winter, running wildly with disheveled hair, and eating sex on the roadside along the way.

"One thing, let's not worry about the details." Zhang Anshi said: "If it's just because you care about reputation, it doesn't make sense, then Sun Bin pretended to be crazy and acted like a fool, Han Xin was humiliated, and Sima Yi did it in front of others in order to paralyze Cao Shuang.

My face is drooling everywhere, don’t they want to save face?”

Zhu Di's face twitched.

The guard on the side rolled his eyes upward. If it had been a few days earlier, he would definitely have turned against him and cursed boldly, but now... he is used to it.

Zhang Anshi said: "Furthermore, what you said will damage the emperor's image in my mind. How can a great hero like His Majesty care about the so-called face?"

"Real heroes can endure what ordinary people cannot endure and do extraordinary things. How can they care about the opinions of others? The reason why those Jingnan soldiers follow the emperor is because of the favors the emperor gives them in daily life, so they

Only then do you dare to fight and die, so why are you not happy because of just eating sex and running around naked?"

Zhu Di: "..."

Zhang Anshi said: "Besides, for a man, running around naked and eating sex are nothing..."

Zhu Di felt a lump in his heart and frowned, "Why are you running naked again?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Let's not dwell on these words first."

Zhu Di's eyes widened, and he tried his best to patiently say: "What do you mean by not looking into details? Isn't this just to accuse someone of innocence out of thin air?"

Zhang Anshi said: "I'm talking about what you just said. I just think it doesn't make sense to explain it with what you just said."

Zhu Di said: "Okay, okay, okay, you are really confusing right and wrong. How could you have seen him running around naked and eating sex?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Then which one of your eyes saw that he didn't run naked and eat sex?"

Zhu Di broke his guard.

Originally, he wanted to reason with him. After all, Zhang Anshi was considered a benefactor, and even though he spoke unabashedly, Zhu Di still admired this guy.

If it had been anyone else, they would have chopped it up and fed it to the dogs.

But Zhu Di couldn't. Since he couldn't, he still had to correct this kid's weird ideas.

Zhu Di already felt that he was extremely patient, and his analysis was very reasonable.

As long as Zhang Anshi can repent, his hard work will not be in vain.

Who knew that this guy would not only be able to argue, but also add a new element of streaking to this version of the 'story'.

Zhu Di slapped the table and yelled: "Fuck your mother!"

"Why are you still swearing?" Zhang Anshi was angry: "I see that you are older and I won't argue with you, but if you continue to curse, let me tell you, I am not someone to be bullied. Damn it, you are the only one who knows how to curse, right?"

"

Zhu Di took a deep breath: "Come, sit down, and I'll tell you again, what you did just now was wrong. The emperor is not Sima Yi, nor is he Han Xin or Sun Bin."

Zhang Anshi said: "What you said makes sense. The emperor is much more powerful than Sima Yi, Sun Bin and Han Xin."

Zhu Di's expression finally softened: "That's right, so we can't make analogies."

"But it is precisely because the emperor is more powerful in my mind that the emperor dares to eat sex and run naked."

Zhu Di's old face began to twitch, and his hands shook as he pressed the table, so that the dishes on the table began to clang.

When Zhang Anshi saw this, he said: "Okay, even if you are right."

Zhu Di shook his head and gritted his teeth and said, "No, even if I am right, you are not convinced at all."

Zhang Anshi said: "I am sincerely convinced."

Zhu Di said: "You are being vain and conceited!"

Zhang Anshi looked at him aggrievedly and said: "If you say yes, it's no, if you say no, it's no. Brother, you are a real man, how can you act like a woman? Besides, whether the emperor has had sex or run naked has nothing to do with us. Why should we compare this truth?

Doesn’t this mean that the emperor is not in a hurry to kill the eunuch? "

Zhu Di said: "This... I can't stand it. I can't slander people out of thin air."

Zhang Anshi said: "But this is just a compliment."

Zhu Di finally fell silent. He lowered his head and drank strategically, swallowing the 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 that you are an old member of Jingnan. You followed the emperor to make great achievements and admired the emperor in your heart. But I am the same, I

I also admire Your Majesty in my heart, we are on the same path."

Zhu Di said: "Stop talking and drink."

Zhang Anshi sat down again and drank boldly.

Zhu Di was a little drunk, and his mood finally improved, and he said: "You should come from a famous family."

There is actually no need to guess at this.

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "I think you are the same."
