Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 4 Punch the counselor
  Feng Guoyong couldn't tolerate Zhang Cheng saying such things, so he asked Hua Yun to kill Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng also knew that his words would not be tolerated by the scholar-officials of this era, but because he could leave here at any time with his thoughts, he spoke so directly.

"Why kill him?"

But Hua Yun did not draw his sword at this time, but instead questioned Feng Guoyong.

Feng Guoyong asked Hua Yun to kill Zhang Cheng. In fact, he wanted to make Hua Yun, a military general, take the initiative to obey the instructions of himself, a civil servant, so that he, a civil servant, would be superior to the general in form. He also wanted to drag Hua Yun into the water with him to kill Zhang Cheng. He means to be a sincere person and even wants to test Hua Yun's thoughts.

After all, Zhang Cheng was kind to Zhu Yuanzhang. It would be better for one person to do such an unjust thing than for two people.

Notice.

Although he, Feng Guoyong, is now Zhu Yuanzhang's only adviser, so even if Zhu Yuanzhang is dissatisfied because he and Hua Yun killed Zhang Cheng without permission, he will not do anything to him, but if a military commander Hua Yun is also involved with him, Regarding the killing of Zhang Cheng, in Feng Guoyong's view, even if Zhu Yuanzhang was really dissatisfied, he would not do anything to him. This was a disguised attempt to get Hua Yun to side with him.

Of course, in so-called testing Hua Yun, Feng Guoyong also wanted to see whether Hua Yun, a general who was brave and not afraid of death, could be used mentally well, so he directly asked Hua Yun to kill Zhang Cheng.

Because Feng Guoyong had only joined Zhu Yuanzhang's team not long ago, he also needed to understand the details of other members of Zhu Yuanzhang's team through various details.

After Hua Yun asked this question, Feng Guoyong suddenly changed his expression and deliberately shouted at Hua Yun: "Is there any need to ask? He has no etiquette of honor and inferiority, he is a deviant!"

"Does this mean he should be killed?"

"I don't think there's any big problem with what he said. He wants his superiors to treat him like a brother and friend, so what's the point?"

"It's because my superior treats me like a brother, that's why I am willing to follow him and work for him through life and death! What's more, he is kind to his superior, which is equivalent to being kind to me. If I kill him, then I will not become ruthless If you are an unjust person, then who the hell is a hero?!"

Hua Yun also argued with each other, neither humble nor arrogant, and waved his hands: "Your theory doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense at all!"

Hua Yun joined the rebel army last year when Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his hometown to recruit troops. The reason why he joined the rebel army was because Zhu Yuanzhang was his fellow villager and friend, and they wanted to get rich together.

Therefore, Hua Yun now has no concept of maintaining ethical order. He only has the awareness of the simple lower-class people that brothers and friends should drink and eat meat together and pursue careers together.

thus.

Hua Yun was not that disgusted with Zhang Cheng's words. He was willing to see Zhu Yuanzhang treat Zhang Cheng as a brother, just as he treated him as a brother.

And brothers will not be jealous of brothers.

Seeing that Hua Yun did not reject Feng Guoyong's request, Zhang Cheng's heart dropped again. He did not directly make up his mind to leave immediately and return to his own world. Instead, he only said to Hua Yun with a sneer: "You Fortunately, you didn't listen to his words and kill me, otherwise you would be a head shorter than him!"

Hua Yun glanced at Feng Guoyong.

At this time, Feng Guoyong looked at Zhang Cheng and said: "I am also a scholar. I must know that scholars should take it as their responsibility to establish peace for all generations! But I care about my own dignity, honor and disgrace, and therefore I am not willing to surrender to the superior easily. It is a bit too ambitious." It’s too narrow and not the way of the sages!”

"The more you care about treatment and dignity, the more narrow-minded you will appear and the more you will become a villain!"

"As a scholar, Shiba Shima should understand that it is the way of a gentleman to rather be humiliated than to dedicate himself to the world! Therefore, if Shiba Shima really insists on doing this, he will only become more and more like a villain, and it is better to kill him directly now. Get rid of it, so as not to harm the world in the future!"

"I don't want to dedicate myself to the world. I only care about fame, wealth and dignity. I am an unscrupulous villain and don't deserve to live?"

Zhang Cheng chuckled, and then asked Feng Guoyong.

"Of course!"

Feng Guoyong replied.

Zhang Cheng asked again: "You must know why the world is out of order today?"

Feng Guoyong hesitated for a while, and then said: "It is obvious that the current court is unethical."

"Who in the imperial court is dishonest?"

Zhang Cheng asked.

Feng Guoyong looked sad: "Both the ruler and his ministers are immoral." "Do you think that if the ruler is immoral, he should be killed, just like a scholar who is unwilling to take the world as his own responsibility should be killed?"

Zhang Cheng asked.

"Needless to say, murder must be repaid with life, debt must be repaid with money, and whoever is unjust shall die."

Hua Yun interrupted at this time.

Feng Guoyong did not answer, but glanced at Hua Yun with an unhappy look.

Zhang Cheng here said to Feng Guoyong: "If you really want to kill me, you should ask your master Zhu Gongzi first, instead of trying to practice your own morality with someone else's sword and using your righteousness to kill others." Be a slave."

Feng Guoyong felt a little embarrassed and couldn't open his mouth to argue, so he had to hand over to Hua Yun: "Brother Hua Yun, I was so arrogant just now. In a moment of anger, I forgot that although he was a deviant, he was a benefactor to the superior after all. I also forgot my decency and actually commanded. Brother, you are here.”

Hua Yun snorted and didn't say much. He just pointed to the girl beside him who bowed her head and held a cattail leaf fan, and said to Zhang Cheng: "The superior asked me to choose this for you. The superior asked her to fan you. It’s hot now so you don’t get heatstroke, but when it’s cold, you can also ask her to warm your bed!”

As he said that, Hua Yun and his subordinates laughed evilly.

Hua Yun asked the girl to kneel down and kowtow to Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng saw that this girl was only about thirteen or fourteen years old. She would still need others to take care of her in the future. He waved his hand and said, "I appreciate your superiors' kindness, but she is too young. I don't want her." Take care of her, I can’t bear to ask her to take care of her. At her age, she is still being taken care of by others in my house.”

"Not only are you deviant, but you are also unsophisticated!"

"You are kind and treat her as a human being, but if you don't accept her, the superiors can only reward her to the brothers who have just surrendered to win over the generals. Do you think that once she falls into the hands of those brothers who have just surrendered? Won’t someone take advantage of the fact that the newly surrendered brothers are not yet firmly established and force her to drink and sacrifice themselves?”

Feng Guoyong sneered at this time, said a few words, and then gave Hua Yun a meaningful look.

Zhang Cheng therefore said: "Then I will accept it. Thank you very much for taking the position."

Bang!
  Suddenly, a fist was enlarged in front of Feng Guoyong, and Feng Guoyong's eyes suddenly darkened and he took a few steps back. For a moment, he felt his nose and eyes were sore.

Hua Yun retracted his fist and said angrily to Feng Guoyong: "If you expose our brothers' secrets again, believe it or not, I will chop you up!"

Zhang Cheng was stunned on the spot when he saw this.

Feng Guoyong didn't say much, he just took a deep breath and left.

After Feng Guoyong left Zhang Cheng, he came to see Zhu Yuanzhang and told Zhu Yuanzhang Zhang Cheng's thoughts on surrendering to him.

"He really doesn't think of us as monster thieves?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed after hearing this.

Feng Guoyong nodded: "They also said that we are the men who will drive out the Tartars and restore China!"

"Drive out the Tartars and restore China."

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself and began to think.

"Your superiors, this person is apostate, unsophisticated, disrespectful of ethics and teachings. Even if he has great talent, he cannot use it."

At this time, Feng Guoyong put forward his own new suggestions to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, without comment, and just asked Feng Guoyong: "What happened to your face? Who hit it?"

"The subordinates were about to mention this matter, but the brothers at the top still have the habit of being bandits, especially that Hua Yun. I just mentioned some of their shortcomings, and he punched and kicked me, and even threatened to kill me!"

Feng Guoyong couldn't help but said.
