Lin Daiyu and others escaped from the capital overnight. When they arrived at the foot of Panlong Mountain, Qin Keqing had been waiting for a long time. She and Wu Xiaoxi worked together to help Daiyu get off the horse, which was quite troublesome. Daiyu stood firm on the ground, and the two of them interacted with each other.
They looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Jia Cong came over with Fu'er in his arms, and Fu'er shouted "Aunt Lin!" Daiyu had been running away for the past two days, and she didn't even have the strength to be afraid. After hearing this, she suddenly smiled and stroked her head.
Little braids on top.
Liu Xianglian also walked out of the shop at this moment and asked with a smile: "How about drinking some tea inside first and eating two snacks to calm down before going up the mountain?"
Daiyu didn't recognize him and turned to look at Qin Keqing. Qin Keqing smiled and said, "This is my husband."
Jia Cong said: "Liu Xianglian, the leader of Panlong Mountain, is the one who is called Leng Erlang in the world."
Daiyu hurriedly went over and said a blessing, Liu Xianglian waved her hand and said: "We are all our own people, don't be too polite."
Then she went into the store and rested for a while, and then everyone went up the mountain together. Since she had to ride a horse to go up the mountain, Daiyu spent another half a day and said angrily: "I have to learn to ride a horse." Everyone lowered their heads and snickered.
I went up the mountain for a while and saw the village gate from a distance. Although it was simple, it was a bit majestic. The soldiers guarding the village gate saw that their village master was coming, so they quickly sent one to run back to report the news. When everyone arrived, three or four
The soldiers all clasped their fists: "Third Master! Village Master! Madam!" Jia Cong and Liu Xianglian waved their hands, Qin Keqing nodded with a smile. Daiyu saw that the soldier's face was calm and heroic, and she couldn't help but secretly praise "good momentum".
Entering the Juyi Hall, I saw Jia She sitting majestically on a tiger-skin chair in the middle, holding Jia Xiaomeng in his arms; Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng were sitting on the left, and Tanchun Xichun was sitting on the right. When they saw them coming in, they all got up and came over to shout.
"Sister Lin!"
Lin Daiyu was stunned. She looked around for a long time and said, "Why...when did uncle become the king of the mountain?"
Jia Lian smiled and said: "I only found out after going up the mountain."
Wang Xifeng said: "In the first few days, I thought I was dreaming!"
Jia She snorted: "Look at your potential! I usually don't tell you because I'm afraid you are young and don't speak strictly."
After the ceremony, everyone sat down one after another. Liu Xianglian sent someone to call all the brothers from Lixiangyuan. Fortunately, there were enough chairs.
Jia She said: "Girl Lin has been tired these past two days, and I'm afraid she's also scared. Let's take a break for a while and let's go south together. First we go to Lingnan to see Lian'er's father-in-law, and then we go to Taiwan. It's not a long trip.
Say three years."
Daiyu hurriedly asked: "Isn't my uncle going to supervise the army? The battle in the south will last for so long?"
Jia She said: "Wanting a war? It can take three years or more than ten years. Besides, even if the war is over, I can't adapt to the local environment. I won't be able to walk if I get sick?"
Jia Cong burst into laughter: "Dad, whoever calls me a rogue in the future, I just mean that I have as many sons as I have." Jia She glared at him.
Lin Daiyu thought for a long time and suddenly asked: "Does uncle want to rebel?" Then she turned to look at Jia Cong, "Or does Cong'er want to rebel?"
Jia Cong said "Huh": "You have become the king of the mountain, so it's almost like being a rebel. Why did sister say this?"
Lin Daiyu said: "Just now at the foot of the mountain, you called Fu'er 'little princess'."
Jia Cong couldn't help laughing and waved his hands: "Little princess, that's not what I meant... I mean Fu'er is our little princess, which means she is the apple of our family's eye..." He suddenly felt that the distance in time and space was too big to explain, and thought
After a while, he shook his head and said, "That's what I mean anyway. Sister Lin, you are also the little princess of the Lin family. Sister Xue is the little princess of the Xue family, but sister Shi is not the little princess of the Shi family. Do you understand that? Xiao
The word "princess" is not that valuable..." Hundreds of years from now, every girl will be a little princess.
Lin Daiyu looked a little amused at his unclear expression: "I know what you mean. It's just that the word 'princess' is really inconvenient to be spoken casually, for fear that it will fall off the tongue."
Jia Cong shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter." Then he turned and asked Jia She, "Did Dad say anything to the second brother and second sister-in-law?"
Jia She said: "I don't know what you think or say?" Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng looked confused.
Jia Cong nodded, then looked at the room of people and said, "Then I'll tell you."
Everyone held their breath and concentrated, and Xichun grabbed Tanchun's hand.
Jia Cong said: "Sister Lin just asked me if I wanted to rebel. Well, a little bit."
Daiyu lowered her head, raised it again, and said softly: "I see that the soldiers at the gate of the village and the soldiers at the entrance of the Juyi Hall are definitely not ordinary green forest minions. They have murderous intent."
Jia Cong said: "Sister is right. They were originally trained as regular troops. It was not that he had any objection at first, but he didn't really believe in me... Since then, he had ordered his uncle, a loyal minister, to go there without knowing anything.
Start with Yangzhou as bait."
Jia Lian hurriedly asked what was going on, and Jia Cong then told the story of Lin Hai's assassination, from Xu Hong to the old saint.
Jia Lian was shocked: "Is it Xu Hong who wants to assassinate Uncle Lin?"
Jia Cong looked at Jia Lian and said: "Because my second brother is an official in the court, I dare not tell you many things for fear that you will accidentally expose the flaw. Since we have escaped, there is no need to hide it."
Jia Lian nodded, his face uncertain.
Jia Cong added: "Everyone in the court now knows that the old sage is holding on to his power. The sage is not outstanding among his brothers, and the princes have also appeared. I thought that the sage would last for a lifetime.
, now it seems extremely difficult. He is unstable and suspicious, so if someone tries to make a counter-measure, he will be on guard against the virtuous king Situ Pan. Who is the virtuous king? He is not that kind of stupid and loyal fool. If my hexagram is not wrong, only
Once the old saint leaves and the saint withdraws his military power, trouble will arise."
Everyone dared not make a sound and listened with all their ears.
Jia Cong took a sip of tea and continued: "In my opinion, there is not much loyalty in the world that is firm and unchanging. Even if a rock cannot be moved, it is also afraid of a big hammer. There are indeed loyal ministers in the world. However, if he is loyal to the Lord
He died, but so what? There is a good example right now, that is the grandfather of Huo Sheng, the king of Nan'an County. He tightly controlled all the naval forces in Guangdong and Guangxi. He died and was loyal to his son. His son died.
Loyal to his grandson. However, the old saint is a counterexample. His loyal ministers are only loyal to himself, not to his son - but in the past, he had ordered these people to be loyal to Prince Xianyi Zhong, but later it was he himself who personally commanded the eldest son.
He killed him. Therefore, he personally cut off the way for some loyal ministers to be loyal to his son. Then he chose Jinshang - it would have been better for him to choose the Sixth Prince or the Ninth Prince, so why did he choose Jinshang? Sixth Prince
The prince started his career with military exploits, and most of the military generals agreed with him from the bottom of their hearts; the ninth prince was a capable man, and his talents convinced everyone. People are not objects, they have love, anger, and worry. Especially those who have become high officials, they are more and more afraid of losing that
Official Seal. The old saint thought that he held the military power in his hands to protect himself, and that he would hand it over to me as soon as he died and everything would be over. Little did he know that these generals may not be so obedient."
"It's very tiring to be poor now and to focus on maintaining the court. The other seven kings are not bothered by trivial matters - the wise king tried his best to help him at first, but in recent years he has stopped meddling in his own business - the princes have great
They spent their time and energy either raising private soldiers or buying off officials, and now they have their own territory. Those loyal ministers and good generals in the hands of the old saint have always been attracted by the prince. The prince does not want them to betray the old saint, they themselves
They are all the sons of the old sage, so some of them will have biased minds. Military generals are also human beings, and they also have their own selfish thoughts, and often commit crimes. Now they are just waiting for the old sage to leave so that the cards can be reshuffled. Are they really not afraid?
If he joins forces with a certain prince, he can also get an extra guarantee. Therefore, unless he plays a big amnesty today and slowly kills his group of men, it will be extremely difficult for him to obtain military power smoothly. If
The wise king is still on his side, so he can come up with ideas. What a pity..."
Daiyu suddenly asked: "Is the old saint dying soon?"
Jia Cong said: "I heard that he only has one or two years to live at most. As soon as he dies, the saint will take away the military power. Some of the generals were taken away by the prince, and some did not dare to give up the military power after hearing the rumors." He suddenly laughed and said, "
Regarding the rumors, I admire King Xian very much, and I am completely in awe. You all still remember that King Xian put an end to Xu Hong's rebellion a few years ago."
Everyone nodded.
"The saint was suspicious of the Xian Wang probably not long before Xu Hong's incident. The Xian King made such a quick decision! His betrayal started as soon as he talked about it. Because Xu Hong died at the hands of an assassin, the old saint refused to admit that he had betrayal.
It must be said that his son was forced to rebel by Jinshang. Our family's Ma Xing came back from various places, saying that wherever the generals were stationed, they heard rumors among the people that Jinshang emphasized culture over military affairs, and had prepared all kinds of things in advance.
The charges are that we will deal with the generals as soon as the old saint leaves. If you don’t believe me, just look at General Xu. Naturally, not all generals will believe it, but there are always some who do."
Lin Daiyu asked: "Why do you think these rumors are caused by the wise king?"
Jia Cong said: "You guessed it. Before there was a rift with Jin Shang, the Xian Wang was in charge of intelligence for Jin Shang. The princes next to him were not as nimble as him, and they did it so quickly and completely." He had some misunderstandings, because Situ Pan was direct.
Those who take over Zhou Yan do not need to make new arrangements, they can just use Zhou's people.
Daiyu nodded.
"Therefore, I personally think that the withdrawal of military power will not go smoothly. Some people must be unwilling to hand it over. Although tiger talismans and other items are extremely important, whoever obtains the tiger talisman will gain military power. There are also generals like Xu Hong who turn their backs and refuse to recognize them. In addition,
He also wanted to establish a prince, so all the princes must be at odds with each other. The past two or three years have only been the beginning of chaos. Our family left Beijing to avoid chaos, and we chose Taiwan because it is far away from the capital and is an island, so there is no danger of war.
and."
Daiyu said anxiously: "Where is my father? There is also my grandmother, second uncle, etc."
Jia Cong said: "With brother Huan here, nothing will happen to the people in Rongguo Mansion. I have entrusted proper people to take care of Uncle Lin and Mr. Su. Sister, don't worry. Also, if there is a military disaster," he looked
Looking at Liu Xianglian, "There's Brother Liu here. He's not leaving Beijing to go south."
Liu Xianglian smiled and said: "I have prepared four sacks, three large ones to contain Lin Shangshu, Su Hanlin and his wife, and a small one to contain Su Hanlin's granddaughter."
Jia Cong couldn't help but smile and said: "Fortunately, Mr. Su's family only has a little girl by his side."
Daiyu felt relieved. Suddenly she remembered that her father had packed sacks outside Suzhou in the early years, and she burst into laughter.
Jia Cong went on to say: "As for whether they will rebel or not, we'll see what happens after they finish fighting. However, according to my own speculation, it will probably be rebelled." He raised his eyes to look at Jia Lian, "In troubled times, we must protect ourselves.
We must have strong soldiers to protect ourselves. We are not named Situ, so having strong soldiers will inevitably lead to suspicion."
Jia Lian was startled: "Isn't it possible to take refuge in a true dragon emperor?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Do you know who is the True Dragon Emperor? What if I make a mistake? Besides, who knows that I am not the True Dragon Emperor?"
The whole hall gasped in unison. Although many people had known that he had rebellious intentions, this was the first time he said it so clearly. There was silence for a moment.
After being quiet for a long time, Xichun said first: "If this is the case, will I be considered a princess in the future?"
Jia Cong shook his head: "Fu'er is the princess, and fourth sister, you are the eldest princess."
Xichun clapped her hands and said with a smile: "If you can become the eldest princess, you can be a shrew."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Of course! Sister, you don't have to envy Sima Daofu."
Xichun glared at him and turned slightly red.
Jia Cong looked up and saw Wang Xifeng's face turning dark and white. Knowing that she had never rebelled, he was a little scared, so he waved to Fu'er who was lying beside her and said, "Fu'er, come here!"
Fu'er hurriedly let go of her mother and ran over: "Third uncle!"
Jia Cong stroked her neck and asked with a smile: "Fu'er, do you want to be a princess? There are many fun gadgets, many beautiful clothes, and many people to play with you."
Fu'er nodded: "I think!"
Jia Congnai looked at Jia Lian again and said, "Brother Huan had decided to leave the title of Xian Wang a few years ago, and the second brother would find another one by himself."
Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and Wang Xifeng were all people who put profit first, but Wang Xifeng was still a bit wild at heart; their expressions changed when they heard what he said.
Jia Lian had no great ambitions, but he was self-aware. He knew that his younger brother's qualifications were much higher than his own. In the past, he only hoped that he would dominate the court and gain some benefits for himself. A few days ago, he took his wife and children to take office, and he actually asked him to
Liu Xianglian led hundreds of people to this place, and later realized that I and my brother had hidden many things from her. Only then did they realize that it was not just one or two days, but Jia Huan was even banned! I was shocked for a moment.
, fear, anxiety, excitement, and ambition are coming and going, leaving me speechless.
In her early years, Wang Xifeng also thought that if Fu'er could use her father's uncle's name to climb a high branch, she might be able to get a princess. If her uncle could rule the world and her husband could become a prince, wouldn't she be a princess?
? Thinking of this, he trembled slightly and blurted out: "I have known for a long time that Cong'er is the lower realm of the gods in the sky! Meng'er was also sent by you! The monks and Taoists who came to your Lixiangyuan that day were obviously unusual, so what?
You have eliminated a disaster for me and Brother Bao, right?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "If I don't take action, it's just a near miss. Sister-in-law, don't worry about it."
As soon as he said this, he simply confirmed his "origin".
Jia She took a sip of tea, coughed again, and said, "Why are you anxious? It's still early. When you go to Taiwan, you have to start from scratch. Don't think that big things can be achieved... Huan'er even chose to have his account banned.
No, that’s unreasonable!”
Jia Cong hurriedly bowed to him and said, "Respect the Imperial Majesty's edict."
Tan Chun frowned, pulled Lin Daiyu and asked quietly: "What's wrong with Cong'er? He's usually quite stable, why is he suddenly so anxious? There's nothing at the moment, how can he be so arrogant?"
Daiyu laughed in a low voice and said: "He is using huge profits to seduce the second brother Lian and the second sister-in-law. Otherwise, I'm afraid their minds will be unstable. But isn't the eldest uncle going to supervise the army?"
Tan Chun smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Liu Er told me this. The troops in charge of the prison are all our own people in Guangdong and Guangxi."
When she was happy, her voice became louder. Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng heard her, and they all looked at Jia Cong in shock.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "They are just an alliance, not our own people. These people in the room are our own people." Then he raised the tea cup and said, "Everyone, let's create the world together!" He drank it all in one gulp.
Xichun and the brothers in Lixiangyuan also raised their tea cups and drank it all in one gulp. When Daiyu Tanchun, Jia Lian and others saw them, they all drank the tea in front of them. Jia She was the last one to finish the drink and smashed the tea cup with a clang.
He smashed it to pieces on the ground, looked at Jia Cong and said lazily: "I'm just waiting for your three-story treasure house."
