But it was said that Jia Cong visited Jiangxi Commander Xie Jing and returned to the inn. He asked Lin Hai for an Anshun Road and winked at Lin Daiyu, Jarvis and others. Lin Hai caught him reading at midnight, looked at him and said, "What are you guys doing with your flirting?"
ghost?"
Jia Cong said honestly: "I'm looking for some brothers and sisters to discuss some important matters."
"Why are you carrying important matters behind your back?"
Jia Cong said: "You are too upright, we have to discuss some things that are not fair and honest."
Lin Hai was dumbfounded: "How old are you? I have been doing salt classes for more than ten years, and I have never seen anything."
Jia Cong muttered: "After all, they are more upright than us." He also knew that he would not be able to coax the old man if he didn't tell him something, so he said, "It's just that we studied the bandits in Jiangxi in the past. According to some
The clues are probably all the secrets of Yan King Situ Pan."
Lin Hai was shocked: "Aren't the Jiangxi bandits the remnants of Xu Hong?"
Jia Cong nodded and said: "That's right. However, Xu Hong's death was strange, and Xu Hong had an aide named Wan Zhang who was extremely suspicious. He had the temperament of Situ Pan's subordinates."
"How can I see it?"
Jia Cong said: "It was very strange that he was captured and released in Jiangxi that day. It was probably a play for the court, but in fact, he secretly took away many troops in Jiangxi under the guise of being a gangster in the Xu family."
An analysis of the situation in Jiangxi was given once.
Lin Hai stroked his beard and thought for a long time, then said: "So, ever since he had a rift with the Supreme Emperor, he has been planning to protect himself."
"Isn't that true?" Jia Cong shrugged and said, "I just don't know whether Wan Zhang was sent by Xu Hong after he knew that he had rebellious intentions, or he was Xu Hong's staff and he came over temporarily to subdue him."
He talked about today's meeting with Xie Jing. "Situ Pan would definitely not have subdued Xie Jing for the Supreme Emperor back then, but the seventh prince was still young at that time, and the Xie family would be very happy to form an alliance with Situ Pan. The plan could not keep up with the changes. Later, they surrounded the seventh prince.
He was sent to our house in a roundabout way, and it was obvious that he could no longer trust Situ Pan. Xie Jing was a cover in Jiangxi, used to cover up Wan Zhang and others so that the kings would not know that King Yan also hid troops in the hinterland of Jiangnan. Moreover, no one knew
There are still a few of Xu Hong's descendants who have held military power."
Lin Hai glanced at him: "You already knew that Situ Pan was rebellious when the imperial troops attacked Xu Hong?"
Jia Cong said: "Sir, I am trying to protect myself. Besides, aren't you on better terms with him than with the Supreme Emperor? I don't think anything is wrong."
Lin Hai looked at him for a long time, and suddenly said: "The soldiers and horses that were kidnapped from the imperial prison that day were probably not General Liu who was invited to help from somewhere, but soldiers raised privately by the Rongguo Mansion."
Jia Cong was startled: "Huh?"
Lin Hai asked: "Who knocked me out halfway?"
Jia Cong and Jarvis looked at each other for a few times, but before they spoke, Lin Daiyu spoke: "What's going on with the prison sentence?"
Er Jia's expression changed. Jarvis turned to look at the window. Jia Cong covered his face and said, "This matter has passed for a long time. Sister, please don't ask." After a moment, Lin Daiyu quietly removed her fingers from her eyes. Lin Daiyu was still staring.
He had no choice but to turn to Lin Hai and said, "Uncle, tell me for yourself. After all, it wasn't me who put me in jail."
Lin Hai coughed and said, "Yu'er, since it's an old thing, there's no need to mention it."
Daiyu said calmly: "Since it's an old thing, it's okay to say it in a joke." Then she turned her eyes to Jarvis.
Jarvis was honest, so he lowered his head and told how Liu Tong took Lin Hai, Su Zheng and other adults to prison, and how Jia Cong and others planned to deceive the patrolling soldiers and guards to save people. Daiyu gritted her teeth and shed tears.
He clenched his fists and secretly remembered Shandong Liu Tong in his heart. Jarvis finally said: "Because Mr. Gao Mang knows..."
Lin Hai nodded and said: "So it's him. Su Zheng also recognizes him, why didn't he knock him out?"
Jia Cong said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Su has only seen him once. We were fighting again at night, so I couldn't tell him apart even if I thought about it. My uncle is different. You are my brother-in-law's elder. I have met him many times and said
A lot of words."
Lin Hai glared at him. After a while, he said again: "In that case, it must be that General Liu and his troops are really from Rongguo Mansion?"
"Um."
"These people brought by Yu'er must not be from Taiwan Mansion, but from Rongguo Mansion."
"Um."
Lin Hai couldn't help closing his eyes and swaying. Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward to help him and whispered softly: "Dad, Cong'er and the others are also trying to protect themselves."
Lin Hai shed two lines of tears from the corners of his eyes, and after half a day he said: "Every one of my ministers has recruited troops privately, without any regard for the king's laws, and they claim to be self-protection."
Jia Cong muttered: "Is it really to protect himself... The former emperor was the Supreme Emperor, and I can't trust him." After a while, he added, "I can't trust him since he asked you to return to Suzhou as a bait that year."
Lin Hai waved his hand: "You want to protect yourself, but others don't? If the emperor is afraid that he is suspicious, he should confess his loyalty."
Jia Cong muttered again: "My grandfather showed his loyalty from the bottom of his heart, and then he died of frustration."
"You!" Lin Hai was anxious and held it in for a long time before saying, "That's because the late emperor is old and confused!"
Jia Cong said: "Sir, which one is more wise, the late emperor or the supreme emperor?"
Lin Hai was speechless. After enduring for a long time, no one in the room dared to say a word. Lin Hai finally pointed at Jia Cong and said: "...You are indeed arrogant."
Jia Cong thought for a while and then came up with a sentence: "The people are the most valuable, the country is second, and the king is the least."
Lin Hai shook his head and said: "The king is the master, and the ministers are the assistants. The king plans for the people, and the ministers plan for the king. How can the ministers not first do their best to be loyal and hide their troops to protect themselves? How can the country not be in chaos? Today the world is torn apart.
This is why all the kings supported their troops and stood on their own feet."
Jia Cong argued: "Can't you always stand on the side of the emperor and think about problems? Now let's talk about Situ Pan, who you are always familiar with. His ability, courage, vision, and the things he did for the emperor in the past, the emperor actually
Doubt him. Is he waiting to die if he doesn't protect himself? If the late emperor had chosen him as the crown prince, or had chosen the former Prince Yi Zhong, how could there be the current chaos. Sir, whether they are princes, generals, or powerful ministers, they are all human beings. They are ants.
Even if you want to live in vain, let alone a human being? If the king wants his subjects to die, some of them will run away, and some will die in the trap. Those who stretch their necks and surrender the lives of their whole family and have to die are probably incompetent."
Lin Hai choked him for a long time, waved his hands and said: "It's all nonsense."
Jia Cong breathed out: "It's obviously a fact. If a good minister wants to assist the emperor, he must be willing to listen. Even if he is not a wise emperor, it is fine if he is a mediocre emperor who will not easily become suspicious. A foolish emperor is in power, and a good minister is in the government.
Official; if you show your skills, you will achieve great success and wait for death. If you don't show your skills, you will be nothing more than a hermit in the court, just like nothing else. If you hide in high mountains and rivers, corrupt officials will be everywhere. If you hide in high mountains and rivers, corrupt officials will be everywhere.
It's useless, harsh government is as fierce as a tiger. Sir, there is no way to save the country, and the people have no hope of living, they are waiting for the country to be destroyed."
Lin Hai waved his hands repeatedly and stopped talking. Several juniors stood by silently. After a long time, Lin Hai said: "You all go out, I will be quiet for a while." The juniors slipped out one by one in a hurry.
After leaving the door, Lin Daiyu leaned against the door and sighed: "My father knows all these truths."
Jia Cong said loudly: "As a great scholar, my uncle cannot avoid many detours. According to his wishes, he must first try his best to assist the emperor. If it fails, he can think of a way to protect himself. And to protect yourself, you must first defile yourself."
Daiyu shook her head and said: "That's not the point. Just treat it as a noble matter."
"That's right!" Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "The king is noble and the minister is undervalued. The minister should first find a way to let himself be wronged and move the king. Only when he really can't be moved or has suffered enough grievance can he think of giving up his job. He must not do it.
Thinking of mercenaries to protect themselves. Sister, it is not that the king is noble and his ministers are contemptuous, but that the king is noble and his ministers are humble. This thing is too difficult to do, and I can't do it. I work as an official for the imperial court, and the imperial court gives me a salary; I don't want to
Done, resign and leave. Your Majesty is my boss, not my master."
Lin Hai suddenly opened the door: "In that case, if one day you get the capital, wouldn't you want to open a new one opposite the boss's shop, or even swallow up his shop?"
Jia Cong said slowly: "I would be tired...but that's also possible. Maybe in a few years I won't be as lazy as I am now."
"You..." Lin Hai pointed at him for a long time, "You have rebellious intentions!"
Jia Cong drooped the corner of his mouth and said, "That's right. Anyway, you just don't have loyalty."
Lin Hai was stunned as if he had been beaten with a stick.
Jia Cong added: "Sir, if you don't have servility, you have rebelliousness. Well, I was born with it. I am not a slave of the Situ family, I only want to be their slave. Don't forget, sir, that a slave is not a human being in front of his master.
A slave cannot disobey his master in the slightest. In fact, sir, you are not slavish. It’s just that you have read the sages’ books for half your life and deceived yourself into having a servile nature all the time. Sister Lin in front of you is the evidence. If you had a servile nature, you would have killed Lin long ago.
My sister has been sent to the palace, how can I allow her to escape?" After a pause, he muttered and added, "I asked you to prepare a way to escape just in case. Why don't you call me back immediately and let me go?
Are you going to do it..."
Jarvis kicked him.
Jia Cong made a face: "Disciple, please run away first. Sir, think about it slowly. If the emperor's family bullies you, are you willing to suffer the consequences honestly?" After saying this, he ran away.
Only now did Lin Daiyu hear that her father was the one who rushed to prepare for the escape. She felt warm in her heart and hurriedly stepped forward to support her father. She held back her laughter and shook Lin Hai's arm in a coquettish way: "Dad, he is just a child.
, full of nonsense.”
Lin Hai shook his head and said: "You all go." He pushed his daughter's hand away and slowly moved into the house alone, sitting like a clay sculpture. Daiyu and others watched outside for a long time, and when they saw that he was motionless, they
Closed the door.
Just when they were about to go back to their rooms, they saw Jia Cong coming back again, gesturing not far away, so they all followed him to his room quietly. Jia Cong waved his brothers and sisters into the room and let out a sigh of relief.
: "Old man, I think it will be fine after a while."
Daiyu complained: "It's enough to fool him for a while, but you still involve so many things. Isn't it okay to say these things back to Taiwan?" Zhang Mu took a look and nodded at Zhou Camellia, the embroiderer girl he hired in Suzhou.
exist.
Jia Cong scratched his head: "I couldn't hold it back for a moment." He looked at it and said, "You didn't hear about my meeting with Xie Jing today." Then he briefly told her something important.
Qi Dianqi asked: "What does Third Master want to do in Jinggangshan?"
"I was just at the General Military Mansion today when I suddenly had an idea. Could the accident of history be inevitable?"
Others couldn't understand, and Jia Cong didn't know what to say for a moment. He thought, Grandpa Mao was a great man. Since he chose Jinggangshan and led the Red Army to counterattack five times with such ideas, the terrain of Jinggangshan must be that of Jiangxi.
The easiest to defend and difficult to attack. Among the people Situ Pan stayed in Jiangxi, the man named Wan Zhang was regarded as a leader. He also happened to be entrenched in Jinggang Mountain. As early as when everyone was discussing matters, Gong Kun, master and disciple, were suspicious of the Supreme Emperor at the same time.
If Situ Yan had not died, he would probably have been imprisoned somewhere in Jiangxi. I don't know whether it was a mountain or a river.
There was really no way to explain the above words to the group of ancients in front of me, so I had to smile bitterly and said: "I don't know how to explain it. At first, I just wanted to see the mountain." In my previous life, I didn't want to go, so I came here.
"Because... that mountain is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a leader like Wan Zhang guarding it. I wonder... if Brother Huan's father-in-law is there too?"
Everyone took a breath of air.
Jia Cong looked around and said, "None of you...are planning to save him." As he spoke, he turned to Camellia.
Zhou Camellia waved her hands and said, "Master Quan is kind to me."
Qi nodded and said: "He is not my father-in-law."
Jarvis said: "He is not my father-in-law either."
Cheng Chi said: "He is not my father-in-law either."
Finally, Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing and said: "He is not my father-in-law. Huan'er wants to save people and save them herself."
"Okay." Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "After all, he is not my father-in-law. I was originally thinking about whether I should try to attack the Jinggang Mountains to train my troops. Since Situ Yan might be there, I wouldn't do it. In case not
Pay attention to rescue him, but there is really no place to put him."
Everyone said "yes" and "yes" one after another. Just as Jia Cong was about to move on to the next topic, he heard a "bang" and the door opened. Everyone turned their heads and looked over. Lin Hai's face was as pale as paper and his whole body was trembling.
Jia Cong was frightened, and rushed over to support him: "Uncle! Don't scare me! That... is just a guess... it may not be that he is really there." Seeing Lin Hai's face getting more and more ugly, he hurriedly said,
"Well... if you always want to save him, why don't we try to save him? But we are small, only a thousand troops, the generals who can lead the army are very young, and the military advisor is a woman..."
Lin Hai suddenly shook off his arm and walked out. He was walking very fast for such an old man, as if it was windy. Jia Cong and others hurriedly chased after him, but the old man disappeared after leaving the inn and turning a corner! These people were frightened.
He screamed and scattered all over the city looking for him. After searching for a long time, he could not find anyone.
Daiyu was so anxious that she burst into tears. Jarvis said, "Are you going to thank me for your help?"
Daiyu choked and said, "No! Don't alarm him first. Brother Yang is a local and has followed my father for many years to get familiar with his temperament. Please invite him back first." After hearing this, Jia Cong immediately ran out to pull the horse and left.
Yang Song's house was remote, and Jia Cong only knew the name of the place. He spent half a day looking for it. He was surprised when he saw that the house was actually quite big. Yang Heng was so embarrassed in Beijing back then, and he thought the Yang family was very poor. So he spent half a day trying to find it.
He opened the door and shouted at the top of his voice, "Is Brother Yang at home?"
It took a long time to see Yang Song slowly come out and open the door. When he saw it was him, he was shocked: "Third Master, has something happened to you?"
"Well!" Jia Cong said with a grimace, "The old man ran away from home!"
