Chapter 1765: Uncle’s Enlightenment
“Ahem, are you being too harsh?” Uncle Zhu Shouren started to murmur in his heart after hearing what they said. He thought about it again. Although Zhu Pingan was honest and simple, he was also a monkey when he was a child.
"What exaggeration is that?! Brother Zhu, what we said is not true?! Is your nephew recognized by the government and the public as the 'No. 1 God of the Ming Dynasty'?! Is your nephew recognized It wasn't because he offended Mr. Yan Ge that he was relegated to Jiangnan. Come back again?! There are sea sacrificial ritual sites under Jingnan and Yingtian cities. Did they kill so many Japanese pirates?!"
Xia Qiang said emotionally, wishing he could go up and grab his uncle Zhu Shouren's ears. , poured into his head.
"Ahem, that's it. Even if he wants to borrow heads to train his troops, he won't necessarily borrow our heads. There are more than 2,000 people in his camp for him to borrow, and I am his relative. Uncle, no matter how close we are, he can’t borrow my head. Also, the three of us We are all well-read in the books of saints and sages, and they are no better than a mud-legged guy in the camp who cannot read a word of the two thousand words. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, he can't borrow our heads. The most he can do is make a mistake. Pick a few unlucky ones from the more than two thousand soldiers and borrow their heads.”
Uncle Zhu Shouren was not very worried. As he said, he thought so in his heart.
Even if the wise nephew wants to imitate Sun Wu and Cao Cao, and Er Zhurong borrows his head, he can’t borrow my head.
No matter how many fellow Taoists die, as long as they don’t die, it doesn’t matter.
So, uncle Zhu Shouren is still very calm at the moment.
"My brother Zhu, think carefully about the story about Sun Wu, Cao Cao and Er Zhurong borrowing heads?! If you think about it carefully, you won't say that!" Hu Wei nodded speechlessly. Touch uncle Zhu Shouren's shoulder.
"What should I say?" Uncle Zhu Shouren was even more confused.
Hu Wei simply hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, and rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Brother Zhu, why are you still confused?! Sun Wu was training in front of the palace. At that time, there were two concubines of King Wu and his superiors. Maid of the Hundred Palaces, why did Sun Wu borrow the heads of the two concubines? Isn’t it because they have status and their heads are important enough?! Why did Cao Cao borrow the heads of the grain and grass officers but not the heads of the grain and grass soldiers? Is it because the grain and grass officer is in charge of grain and grass, is his head important enough?! And Er Zhurong, why did Er Zhurong lend his nephew's head instead of the soldier's head? Isn't it because his nephew has a special relationship with him? , does a head have weight?!"
"If your nephew wants to borrow a head, the first one he wants to borrow is your head! Because you are his uncle, your head is weighty enough. soldiers At first glance, my God, Mr. Zhu’s uncle violated military discipline, and Mr. Zhu reluctantly beheaded him in public. Who would not be timid, and who would dare not to listen to Mr. Zhu’s orders?! We are both implicated by you! Borrowing three heads is much more of a deterrent than borrowing one head!”
“Er Zhurong borrowed his nephew’s head and built a forbidding iron army in one day! Your nephew borrowed our heads. , You can also train an iron army in one day that can command and control orders and control them like a finger and an arm!"
"In a few days, the Japanese pirates from Songjiang Prefecture will come to kill you. Can your nephew lead this iron army again? Make military exploits and return We can get promoted and make a fortune! It’s just a pity that the three of us are in our prime years and have a wealth of economics that has not yet been put to use, but it has become a stepping stone for your nephew to train in the military and make meritorious service. In vain, you have achieved your nephew’s lifelong fame!”
Hu Wei became more and more emotional as he spoke, his face became paler and paler, and the fear in his heart wrapped around him tighter and tighter like a nightmare.
"No, no, I am his uncle. If he lends me my head, how will he explain it to my father and his grandfather?!"
Uncle Zhu Shouren shook his head repeatedly.
Hu Wei shook his head when he heard this. He didn't understand where his uncle Zhu Shouren got his stupid confidence from. He said speechlessly, "Brother Zhu, one is a sullen and confused person who has failed in consecutive exams and failed to pass the exam. An old son who was 19 years old, a good grandson who won three yuan in a row at a young age and became a fourth-rank official with a bright future. Son, who are you talking about?”
Xia Qiang also said, “Besides, history is written by the victors, at least by the living. If you can’t speak up, isn’t it only him who can tell what is right or wrong?”
"Well, these are all our guesses." Uncle Zhu Shouren hesitated, "Those mud-legged people have all become imperial officials. Although they are military attachés, they have also jumped over the dragon's gate and become officials."
He Still don't want to wake up from the dream of being an official.
"Brother Zhu, this is not a sensational speculation, but a well-founded one. Your nephew has already started working on it?!"
Hu Wei said sadly.
"What do you mean?!" Uncle Zhu Shouren's face turned pale with fright, and before Hu Wei could speak, he started to vomit out with his throat, "Oh, you mean your nephew is in our house" The food was poisoned?”
But it had been a while since he had eaten, and if he pressed his throat again, he would just spit out two mouthfuls of sour water.
Dizzy!
Hu Wei covered his head and said helplessly, "Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu, there is no poison, and it is impossible to poison him. If Mr. Zhu wants to borrow our heads, he will only summon the whole army like Er Zhurong." , We were punished in front of all the soldiers."
"Huh, I was shocked if you didn't tell me earlier. How could you start doing this if you didn't poison the food?" Uncle Zhu Shouren complained, and then he was startled, "Is it a chronic poison?! We won't have the strength to resist by then?!"
Hu Wei was speechless and looked at his uncle Zhu Shouren as if he were a harpy. , said one word at a time, "Master Zhu only needs to give an order to kill us, and two thousand soldiers will do it for him. Why bother?"
"Then why does Brother Hu say that he has already started working on it?" The uncle shook his head.
"Brother Zhu, have you forgotten our preferential treatment? We have only been here for three days, but we already received one month's salary and five taels of settlement allowance?! How can this be salary and settlement allowance? This is obviously money to buy your life!"
Hu Wei said with a pale face.
“Also, even Mr. Zhu is queuing up to get food, but he has people deliver food to us! The food delivered here is rice, it is clearly a meal for one’s head!”
< br>Xia Qiang also followed, his voice was trembling, and his face was as white as if he had fallen into a pile of white ash.
"Damn it, after hearing what you said, I feel something is wrong. Now think about it carefully, my nephew has never taken the initiative to give me any money! Even if I ask for money from him, it almost never comes! Not to mention that he has never taken the initiative to give me money! It’s not normal to give so many taels of silver like today, it’s so abnormal.”
Uncle Zhu Shouren's face suddenly turned pale, and like a monkey that had been scalded, he jumped up and urged the two of them, "Then why are we waiting? Hurry up and leave. It’s too late.”(End of Chapter)
