Chapter 94 The Story of Abdullah Fazri and His Two Brothers-5

Abdullah bid farewell to the caliph, and returned home full of joy and happiness with his two older brothers.In the same way, the Caliph couldn't help being overjoyed when he knew the effect of the morning prayer, and he said happily: "The so-called 'Here it is a disaster, and there it will bring luck' is really a golden word!" Abdullah left Baghdad with his two older brothers and returned to Basra in a mighty way.The news of Governor Abdullah's return quickly spread throughout the city. People rushed to decorate the whole city, and officials and gentlemen rushed out of the city to welcome him.People cheered and wished loudly, and they all prayed for his longevity.Abdullah distributed a large number of gold and silver coins to the crowd as a token of gratitude.People cheered and blessed one after another, and everyone focused their love and attention on Abdullah alone, but dismissed his two older brothers, causing them to be jealous and resentful.Abdullah was aware of the hidden situation, so he had to try his best to please and accommodate them in order to prevent it from happening, but the opposite happened, which only increased their hatred and jealousy.The situation is exactly the same as the poet recites:

I treat everyone with magnanimity, But it can't open the eyes of the villain. As the envious are always so selfish and greedy, How can I accept my already open heart? Abdullah cared for his two elder brothers in every possible way. According to the requirements, he found a lady from a great family to be his wife for each of them, and allocated forty servants to each of them, and also equipped each with a cavalry force of fifty or so. The guards formed so that they can live a life of officials who are surrounded by servants and servants when they enter, and heavily guarded when they leave.In addition, the jurisdiction was designated for the two, and they were given high salaries, and they were designated as trusted staff.

Abdullah followed the caliph's order and entrusted him with important tasks while caring for and taking care of his two elder brothers.He often enlightened them both earnestly and earnestly, saying: "Both brothers, you and I are of the same flesh and blood, there is no difference between each other. The power in Basra, except for Allah and the Caliph, belongs to me and you. Control. Regardless of whether I am present or not, everything that you two judge and decide must be carried out. However, it must be noted that when exercising power, you must be open-minded, and you must not wrong the common people because of partiality. People curse, once the complaint reaches the Caliph's ears, it will make us lose face, embarrass us, and be blamed. In addition, we must distinguish between public and private, and do not infringe on the interests of others. It is not worth a penny. If you two see others Greedy thoughts arise from wealth and wealth, so I can use as much of my property as possible to satisfy my desires, and I must never neglect my righteousness when I see profit, and benefit myself at the expense of others.

As for the chapter in the book that prohibits tyranny and oppression, you two should be well aware of it, and you must not violate it!The poet sings well: As long as you hide the turbid current of harming others and benefiting yourself in the bottom of your heart, It is impossible to build a permanent dike. A wise person should regard money as something external to him, Don't count all the time. A wise man hides his words, Fools have no scruples about boasting. You should think twice before acting in everything, lest you will be killed if you make a slip of the tongue. Do not listen to the slander of the devil,

That is nonsense that will lead you astray. Entrust things to fools, His own ignorance is exposed. Proclaim your own secrets in front of people, It will give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of. You should do your part well, It is advisable not to ask anything that has nothing to do with you. " Abdullah earnestly and tirelessly persuaded his two elder brothers, asking them to uphold justice and forbid them to do anything wrong.As he had done his best in counseling, and had done so well, he believed that the two elder brothers would be corrected, and he took great comfort in trusting them both.

However, things backfired.Although Abdullah trusted and respected his two elder brothers very much, their evil hearts were never satisfied, and they continued to swell, and finally developed to the point of murdering their own money.First Gnar said to Mansur in a provocative tone: "Abdullah is in power, and we are under him, let him call the shots. Is this going to continue? He was in business, and now he is a high official. And we, He has no honor and status, and he will have no future. He is ridiculing and fooling us, and let us be his assistants. What does this mean? Didn’t he intend to let us serve him for the rest of his life? Let him always be on top, blocking The way out for us, how can we have a chance to rise? It seems that the only way to change all this is to kill him and take his money. Then, we will prepare a generous gift for the caliph, begging him Reward both of us with the position of governor of Kufa. You will be the governor of Basra and I will go to Kufa to govern; or you will become governor of Kufa and I will stay in power in Basra. In this way, we will have status and prosperity."

"Indeed," Mansur said, "but how to kill him?" "How about this, we two will arrange a table of banquets randomly, invite him to be a guest, we will serve him warmly and thoughtfully, speak and behave very kindly, let him be intoxicated in the joyous atmosphere of the night talk, and treat him as drunk as mud After that, we made his bed and let him rest. When he was asleep, we both strangled him alive and threw his body into the river. The next day, we told the others, Abdul When Ra was drinking and chatting with us, the Goddess suddenly appeared in front of us and said to Abdullah, "You thief among humans, what are you capable of accusing me in front of the Caliph? Do you think we are afraid of him?"

He is a king of men, but we are kings of gods.If he dares to oppose us, he will die without a place to bury him.Now I want to kill you first, and see what the Caliph can do to us. ' After that, she grabbed Abdullah and walked away from the cracked ground.When we saw the scene, we were frightened and fainted for a while, and fell unconscious.We don't know what happened to him when we woke up.After the two of us have made such a threat, we will send someone to the Caliph and report the incident to him.The caliph has heard this and will appoint us two to take power.Then we both offered gifts to the Caliph and begged him to make us Governor of Kufa.From then on, we can live alone in Basra and the other in Kufa City.These two places are very good for us, very convenient to govern and subdue the slaves.

In this way, we can be considered to achieve the goal. " "You've come up with the best move." Mansoor agreed with Gnar's machinations.
