Later generations said that the butt determines the head. On the same tree, what the gardener thinks and what the woodcutter thinks are different. Chen Ruiwen sent a message back to the Kingdom of Wu about the seventh prince hiding in Dajiala, Taiwan. The King of Wu was overjoyed! He quickly sent the messenger pigeon to send the order.
Someone in Beijing leaked the matter to King Yan.
The people of King Wu also had two brushes. They bribed a respectable eunuch next to Situ Yue, the crown prince of Yan State. He only said that he had opened a new restaurant and begged the eunuch to lead the crown prince to visit. If the crown prince could write the inscription himself, it would be even better.
Okay. The eunuch collected the money from the family, and as expected, he persuaded the prince to go to the restaurant to support him. The prince had been unjustly accused a while ago and had just been released by his father. He felt uncomfortable and was willing to go out to relax.
The wine in that house was so good that the prince drank two more cups when he was happy, and he had to urinate. The owner also gave the eunuch money, saying that he had prepared a beauty to serve in the toilet, and begged the prince's bodyguard not to drive him away. This kind of thing is the worst thing to do.
As usual, the crown prince drunkenly helped the beauty out of the toilet. The beauty accidentally walked the wrong way and bumped into two sneaky people. The crown prince's bodyguard was afraid that there were assassins, so he followed the two secretly, not wanting to hear anything.
Confidential words. It turns out that those two people were created by Wu Guo. King Wu heard that the Rongguo Mansion secretly hid the seventh son of the Supreme Emperor in order to leave a way out. He has been raising him in the Taiwan Mansion. Because he did not know the truth or falsehood, he ordered people to go to Beijing.
Verification, now we have obtained personal and material evidence.
The prince was shocked when he heard the news. He immediately woke up and took the two secretaries to their residence to collect physical evidence and interrogate the witnesses himself. Seeing that everything was correct and reasonable, he immediately led people into Prince Yan's Mansion to ask for an audience.
King Yan.
King Yan was shocked when he heard this. He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you believe it?"
The prince said: "My son didn't want to believe it at first, but the evidence is irrefutable."
King Yan said: "If it had been two months earlier, I would have believed it." The prince was stunned. King Yan sighed, "That matter... I have wronged you."
The prince immediately understood what happened and his eyes turned red: "I don't blame my father. My father just let the traitor blind him."
King Yan said: "That matter is not irrefutable?" The prince's breath was stagnant. King Yan sighed again, "Looking back and checking again, there are as many loopholes as a sieve. Pang Gu just couldn't see it at the time. My son, when something big happens, especially when you encounter something big.
It's a coincidence. We need to calm down for a few days and then investigate carefully from the beginning."
The prince suddenly understood and bowed down: "My son understands, thank you father for teaching me." King Yan said "hmm" and ordered someone to pass on Feng Ziying.
Feng Ziying arrived not long after, and she felt relieved after seeing the "physical evidence". King Yan looked suspicious, but did not believe everything, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "If you don't believe me, why don't you go test Jia Huan first."
King Yan said: "Maybe I haven't seen him for a long time. Let him come into the house."
Feng Ziying smiled unconsciously: "I obey my orders."
King Yan snorted: "Why are you laughing? Aren't you afraid that their family is really hiding something?"
Feng Ziying laughed even more: "I dare not hide it from the prince, I am really not afraid of this." King Yan snorted again.
Suddenly Jia Huan came and bowed respectfully to King Yan. Feng Ziying saluted, but the prince had already hidden behind the screen. King Yan said, "I have no other reason to call you here today. In the early years when the traitor Fang Xiong usurped the capital, the seventh prince
Lost. Now I have got the news that this son was hidden by his maternal grandfather's family."
Jia Huan said: "Some people have always suspected this. Does the prince want to find the seventh prince?"
King Yan nodded: "Do you have any ideas?"
Jia Huan thought for a while: "Since the prince is worried, there must be some taboo. May I ask what the taboo is? It can be avoided if you are born late."
Feng Ziying said: "Is there any taboo?"
Jia Huan was stunned: "Since there is no taboo, how about arresting the Marquis of Dingcheng and questioning him?" King Yan and Feng Ziying looked at each other, looked at each other for a long time, and laughed at the same time. Jia Huan was confused, "Wan Sheng said
What's wrong?"
Feng Ziying smiled and said: "No, you are right. This is the most commonly used method. I don't know where the string broke, but I didn't expect it."
Jia Huan said: "If you are afraid of disturbing the grass and alerting the snake, you can secretly arrest Mr. Xie while he is visiting the teahouse in the garden."
Feng Ziying waved her hand and said: "You are an amateur at this kind of tricks. You are just a master of a junior class." Jia Huan pursed his lips and gave him a resentful look without saying a word.
After Jia Huan left, King Yan called out the prince and asked Feng Ziying: "Why do you look so relieved when you see those letters? How did you tell that they were fake? I looked at the handwriting and the seal. They are all right."
Feng Ziying smiled and said: "Yes, the handwriting and seals are all correct, but the handwriting and seals can be forged. Some of them are imitating Jia Cong's letters to Jia Huan... They are written seriously. Jia Cong has written so many to me over the years.
Many of the autographed letters talked about important matters, and none of them contained witty remarks." Both King Yan and the Crown Prince laughed dumbly. Feng Ziying herself couldn't help laughing, "Isn't it worse for him to write to Brother Huan than to me?
More serious? In his letter to me, he said that Mr. Lin scolded him for trivial matters, "Old man Lin was afraid that he had menopausal syndrome, and he nagged me for half an hour. Fortunately, I already had a lot of calluses in my ears and didn't need to stuff cotton."
.There is a mentor in each of these letters, so it’s strange that it was written by Jia Cong!”
King Yan pointed at him and said with a smile: "How can other people know these things? I can't coax you."
Feng Ziying said: "It's just that the Seventh Prince is really in Dajiala, but the Rongguo Mansion may not know."
King Yan said: "I also have this suspicion. If it is true, Xie Jing, the prefect of Jiangxi, has done his best." He looked at the prince and said, "Think about it, who can replace him."
The prince was surprised: "Father!"
King Yan said: "What are you shouting for? I just want you to think about it."
The prince bowed deeply and said: "My son must think carefully." Feng Ziying looked at her nose and heart, feeling secretly relieved.
The next day, the Marquis of Dingcheng went out to meet friends, but disappeared in the flower house. The old man was originally a first-rate figure in Jia Zheng. Feng Ziying tried a little trick, but in half a day he had done everything. King Yan took the confession and thought about it.
After a long while, he asked Feng Ziying: "What do you think? He was raised with the eldest brother of the Jia family when he was young."
Feng Ziying thought for a while: "In fact, there is no need to touch him. Jia Cong is the most impatient to get involved in these things, let alone such a big trap for him."
King Yan said: "No one knows Jia Cong's temperament. I'm afraid that when Jia Lian's son grows up..."
Feng Ziying said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, that child was also raised by Jia Cong." King Yan still looked uncertain. Feng Ziying said, "Since Your Majesty has doubts, he can send someone to Taiwan Mansion to test the child's character."
King Yan thought about it for a long time and said, "Go there in person and deal with it as appropriate." Feng Ziying's heart suddenly jumped and she lowered her head and said "yes".
Feng Ziying hurriedly arranged everything at hand, and a few days later, Feng Ziying set off for Taiwan. Passing by Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province, she made some inquiries and found out that the prefect had been ill for many days. Then she found her subordinates and asked them carefully - Xie Jing had left Nanchang for a long time. Feng Ziying
He sneered in his heart, ordered someone to report the matter to the capital, replaced him with a good horse, and hurried away.
After King Yan received the letter, he said to his advisor that day: "Jiangxi has been plagued by bandits for a long time, and the people are suffering terribly. Now I am ordering people to quell the bandits in Jiangxi to relieve the people's difficulties."
After a while of singing praises, someone said: "Jiangxi was very peaceful in the early days, but bandit troubles began after Xie Jing took office. Moreover, this man is the general soldier of Jiangxi and the prefect for many years. He has served in both civil and military positions, but he cannot control the bandits. This shows that this man is incompetent."
After the prince has eliminated all the bandits, I'm afraid he will have to choose another capable official to govern. Otherwise, I'm afraid the bandits will be 'unburned by wild fire and reborn again by the spring breeze'."
King Yan nodded: "If Gu Zheng has this intention, he must find someone else who can use it." He ordered them to think about it and recommend candidates in a few days.
The prince was a little anxious when he heard about it. He had many clients over the years, and many of them were talented and learned. He had been thinking for a long time about who to recommend, and was very annoyed. He had a personal eunuch who served him. Seeing that his master was worried, he persuaded him to go.
I wanted to go for a walk in some quiet place. I can't believe that I can feel calmer in my heart. It's easier to think of ideas when my mind is calm. The prince heard that it made sense, so he led a few people out. He thought about it, today is not the day for offering incense.
I thought it must be quiet inside the temple, so I went to the Qingxu Temple on the outskirts of the city without disturbing the Taoist priests in the temple.
Qingxu Temple is quite large, but there are very few pilgrims today, so it is very quiet. The prince walked from front to back for half a day, and suddenly he heard the sweet sound of the piano, carried by the wind, and unconsciously stopped to listen. After a long time, the sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and the prince was like
As if waking up from a dream, he repeatedly praised: "What a beautiful piano!" He hurriedly followed the sound of the piano to find it. This place is only separated from the back mountain of Qingxu Temple by a wall, and the sound of the piano came from the back mountain. Wait for the prince to find it.
I ran out the back door and saw an old man led by E Guan Bo from a distance walking with his hands behind his back. Behind him were two children, one holding a piano and the other holding a small incense burner. The prince hurriedly chased after him, but the old man had already turned around.
A trail is missing.
The prince was a little regretful, and even sighed that he had not had the opportunity. A eunuch beside him with sharp eyes spotted a fan bag in the grass on the roadside, and hurriedly picked it up and handed it to the prince. The prince took out the fan and took a look, and wrote a song "Butterfly Love Flower" on it.
After reading all the pain of parting at the end of the world, when I return home without knowing the truth, I will see scattered flowers like this. The flowers look at each other without saying a word, and the spring in the green window is nothing like the sky.
Waiting to tell the love lamp, there is a wisp of new love and thousands of old hatreds. The most important thing is that the world cannot keep it, and the beauty says goodbye to the flower in the mirror and leaves to the tree.
After the prince read it, he clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Good words!" But he saw a signature at the back, "Haining Wang Guowei". He thought that now that he had a name and a place of origin, it would be easier to find the person. So he collected the fan and took the person back home.
.
So he sent people around to inquire about "Mr. Wang Guowei". His people went to places where Confucian scholars often went and asked, but no one knew about him.
Since the prince was looking for an old gentleman, there was no doubt that there would be scholars willing to help him find him. If he found out, why not take advantage of the situation and show his face in front of the prince? Two days later, Jia Lan from Rongguo Mansion had a drink with several classmates. Someone thought
Seeing that his two uncles were both celebrities, he asked him. Jia Lan said: "Wang Guowei? Is he the one who wrote 'The west window is white, the moon is falling, and the courtyard is covered with lilac snow'?"
The man hurriedly asked: "Do you recognize Uncle Lan?"
Jia Lan shook his head: "I have only read one of his poems." The man asked Mr. Wang where he was from, but Jia Lan didn't know either.
Even so, the man ran to the Prince's Mansion to tell the story before even finishing the drink. The Prince was very hesitant after hearing this. Jia Lan is the eldest grandson of the Rongguo Mansion and has been in charge of many things in the past two years. He
Knowing that Rong Guofu was his confidant, he did not dare to make a rash friendship. After thinking about it for a long time, he said to himself: "It's just to inquire about Mr. Wang."
The next day, the Crown Prince took only two guards, men in green clothes and small hats, to the Rongguo Mansion. One of them was sent by his father for the sake of fairness. So he posted a post with "Yue Da" written on it. This pseudonym was too much.
I understood a little. Jia Lan couldn't laugh or cry when he got the post, and ordered someone to invite him to the study room. The two had actually met before. Since the prince said that he was "Yue Da", Jia Lan didn't expose him, and bowed to each other as if they were meeting for the first time.
The prince took out Mr. Wang Guowei's fan to inquire about it, and said: "A few days ago, I heard this old gentleman play the piano. It was such a fairy music. I am so thirsty for it in my late life."
Jia Lan said: "Wan Sheng didn't recognize Mr. Wang, I only read one of his short poems." He got up and dug out a poem from the bookshelf called "Dian Jian Lip" handwritten by Jia Lan. The signed author was Wang Guowei.
He looked at the fan again and said, "The styles of these two poems are pretty much the same. They should be written by one person."
The prince hurriedly asked: "May I ask Mr. Jia, where did you copy this word?"
Jia Landao said: "A few years ago, I was working as a volunteer at the Hanlin Academy to sort out books, and a piece of paper fell out of a book called "Tiangong Kaiwu" with this written on it. I liked it very much, so I copied it."
The prince was overjoyed: "Mr. Wang is an imperial scholar?"
"Isn't it possible that he is the person who borrowed the book?"
The prince smiled suddenly and said, "It would be great if we have clues." Jia Lan smiled.
But at this moment, a scholar walked straight in from outside and said with a smile: "Uncle Xiaolan, you lose!" Seeing that there was a guest in the room, he was stunned.
Jia Lan hummed: "That's a promising idea! It only costs a few dollars."
The scholar said: "What matters is not the money, but that you, Jia Lan, have lost for once." Nai Chao bowed to the Crown Prince, "Brother, I'm sorry to bother you. I don't know if I have a guest, so I'll leave now."
The prince hurriedly said, "No problem." Jia Lan pointed to the prince and said, "This is Uncle Yue." He also pointed to the scholar, "Xiao Qin Xianggong." After the two bowed to each other, Xiao Qin Xianggong went out.
Since the prince had found out the news about Wang Guowei, he didn't stay much and stood up to leave. He and Mr. Qin were walking in front of each other. When they walked to the gate of Rongguo Mansion, they happened to meet Mr. Qin holding the reins of his horse and walking with the gate of the mansion.
Just joking. He was probably very happy after winning Jia Lan's money. He saw the prince coming out and said with a smile: "Hey~~Uncle Yue is also coming out? I thought you were going to talk about it for a long time. In this case, I can go back and laugh at you again."
A few words from Jialan."
The prince smiled and said: "Mr. Qin, please." He couldn't help but look up and take a closer look at this person. He saw that he had beautiful features, pink face and red lips. He had the appearance of a boy and a girl. He had a strong and strong figure. He had a sword on his waist and his eyes were bright.
He must have practiced martial arts. He threw the reins to his disciples and walked back into the Rongguo Mansion. His steps were so cheerful that the prince watched him from behind for a long time.
After the prince returned home, he ordered people to go to the Hanlin Academy to check "Tiangong Kaiwu", and at the same time quietly sent his confidants to inquire about "Xiao Qin Xianggong" with the disciples of Rongguo Mansion. It didn't take long to find out that the man's name was Qin Zhong.
He is the son of Qin Ye, the engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. He had a close friendship with Jia Baoyu in the early days, and later he had more contacts with Jia Lan in recent years. "Tiangong Kaiwu" has also been found, and there is indeed a poem with red lips in it, and the signature is indeed
Wang Guowei. But there is no such person in the Hanlin Academy, and I don’t know who put that word in it.
The prince was full of expectations but was disappointed again, so he walked to Qingxu Temple again, hoping to meet Mr. Wang again. After walking around the back mountain several times, there was no sound of the piano, so he had to return disappointed.
Chapter completed!
