Jia Cong confessed to Lin Hai that he wanted to rebel. Lin Hai was startled. He read at Ling Dian for a long time and sighed: "It has been like this since ancient times. Not only this dynasty, but how is it different in every dynasty and every generation? Cong'er, the emperor is the lord of all people. If you
On the contrary, even if you conquer the world, won't your children and grandchildren in the future be like these princes and princes today?"
Jia Cong said: "No. I will establish a constitutional monarchy and will not give the emperor the right to control the life, death, honor and disgrace of his subjects."
“What constitutional monarchy?”
Jia Cong said with a smile: "It's a long story. All the rules of the court have to be changed. It's not possible to stay the same. The whole world has changed. If we don't change, we won't be able to maximize the wisdom of the people, and we will inevitably lag behind the world." He then said solemnly,
"Right now, we are at the juncture of the world's transformation. The least we can say will affect the history of the next three to five hundred years. I hope Mr. Shu understands my thoughts."
Lin Hai couldn't help but step forward: "Cong'er, where are you from? Are you really Nezha's lower realm?"
Jia Cong smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid... that's about it. The next hundred years will be the hundred years of the world war. It depends on us people whether we will lead or fall behind. Moreover, this is likely to be the only era of pure force in the world.
There is no need to even make false official articles, benevolence and righteousness have no effect at all. If you don’t want Bodhisattva or Laojun, Nezha, Yang Jian, and the Great Sage Qitian are fighting for the territory. Whoever grabs it belongs to whom. Sir, I hung it in the Daming Palace.
Those maps, if we do nothing, all this large area will belong to the Westerners. The descendants of future generations will have to shrink into such a small place as this dynasty, and the population will increase. It is right to treat people first with courtesy and then with military force.
Our own people can only treat outsiders with courtesy first. After passing this village, there really is no such shop."
Lin Hai was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and could not speak for a long time.
Jia Cong waited for a long time. Seeing that the old man was still thinking wildly, he pursed his lips and said, "Sir, can I stand up? I'm a little tired from kneeling."
Only then did Lin Hai realize that he was still kneeling and sighed: "Get up, why are you asking me?"
Jia Cong got up with a smile and said, "You agree by letting me get up."
Lin Hai looked around Huizi and said, "You all know?"
Lin Daiyu first said: "Dad, it was actually my daughter who started the separation of kings."
Lin Haizheng was about to sit back on his horse when he heard this and jumped up in fright: "What?!"
Daiyu said: "The origin of this matter is the unification of the six kings except Yan King Situ Pan eight years ago. I came up with this plan."
Jarvis said: "I awarded it to the six kings."
Lin Hai took a step back and his feet were shaking. Jia Cong Jarvis hurriedly went up to support him. After a while, Lin Hai said in a trembling voice: "At that time... you were only... nine years old..."
Daiyu sat upright and smiled sweetly: "I was still young at that time, and I just wanted to vent my anger on my father's behalf and take revenge on the late emperor and the Supreme Emperor. Who asked one of their men to assassinate you, and one of them, who did not hesitate to sacrifice his father's life, ordered you to go south as bait?
."
Lin Hai was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time. Jia Cong and Jarvis looked at each other and noticed that his old man's legs were weak. Jia Cong blinked beside him and said: "Sir, the Emperor wanted Sister Lin to marry
What were you thinking when you gave him your son? Which is more important, the daughter or the emperor? Sister Lin, which is more important, the father or the emperor?"
Daiyu said crisply: "Of course it's my father who matters most."
Jia Cong also said: "I won't mention my father. My second uncle is a rare good-for-nothing, coward and hypocrite in the world. He also specializes in bringing trouble to the family. Ask Brother Huan, who is more important between him and the emperor? He must
It's his good-for-nothing father who matters. Uncle, this is the irreconcilable conflict between us and the Heavenly Family. The Emperor ordered us to value their entire family, including his little wife and great-grandson, more importantly than our parents and children; and we are determined
He refused to agree. He said it was my father, but I really don’t like my ancestors. However, when she and the emperor can only save one, I must only save my own grandmother! Who is the emperor to me?"
After enough time to burn the incense, Lin Hai sighed: "I am vaguely aware of these, but..." He shook his head.
Jia Cong and Jarvis helped him sit down on the marching horse. Jia Cong said: "In the past, Yi Ya cooked his son and offered minced rice. Guan Zhong admonished Duke Heng, saying that a person's love does not mean that he does not love his son, and his son's forbearance cannot be tolerated.
Why should we love the king? After two thousand years of vicissitudes, today’s heavenly family orders its subjects to love the king more than their children. This is not in line with human nature at all, and is entirely the result of the internalization of values from propaganda. Even so, there are still many people who are difficult to be loved.
Internalized.”
Daiyu smiled and said, "My father doesn't understand these things."
Lin Haizheng was thinking about the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but shook his head and said: "I really don't understand what you young people are thinking and saying."
Jia Cong said: "It's not difficult. You've never heard of it before. There are many wonderful and interesting books in the Xiaoxiang Library. You can sit down and read it slowly."
Lin Hai looked at these children again and sighed: "I guess there is nothing I can do against you. Rebellion is not easy!"
Several young people looked at each other and said, "We have our own way!"
Jia Congnai turned to look at Uncle Yang: "Old senior, we are going to rebel. Are you still following us everywhere?"
Uncle Yang hurriedly pulled Yang Song, who was standing behind him dumbfounded, and asked, "Can my nephew have an official position?"
Jia Cong pointed at Lin Daiyu and said, "This is our Prime Minister Lin. She takes care of the official affairs."
Yang Erbo immediately asked Daiyu: "Sister, my nephew is so capable and has been your father's servant for so many years without even marrying a daughter-in-law. How can he be an official?"
Daiyu smiled and said: "It depends on what Brother Yang wants. We are really short of talents."
Yang Song was still a little confused, and said with a wry smile: "I haven't come to my senses yet, let's discuss it later."
Daiyu bowed to him heartily: "I have no intention of forcing you."
Yang Song was startled again, and suddenly pointed at Daiyu and said to Jarvis: "That day! That day in Suzhou! You are talking about Prime Minister Lin!"
Jarvis smiled and said: "Yes, it is Prime Minister Lin." Several people laughed.
Lin Hai drank some water to calm down, and then asked, "Miss Chen, why have you been gone for so long?"
He started and said, "I stepped on the Jinggang Mountain inside and out. It took a lot of effort."
Lin Hai nodded: "Thank you for your hard work." After a moment, he hesitated and asked, "Is there any trace of the saint?"
He stood up and shook his head: "That's the barracks, and the people leading the troops are really capable. I've never seen a saint."
Lin Hai didn't know whether he was happy or disappointed for a moment, but he said after a while: "That's fine."
Jia Cong asked in passing: "What is the temperament of the mountain king named Wan Zhang?"
"Third Master, just go and test it yourself." Qi nodded, "I was caught by Senior Yang just now."
"Ha?!" Everyone was shocked, "That's Wan Zhang?"
Qi Dian said calmly: "He is not the one who leads the troops on Jinggang Mountain; he is a military strategist who helps arrange the troops and is very skilled in martial arts. I have been able to let him see me several times."
"Impossible!" Jia Cong jumped up, "If he kills me, he also wants to win over my uncle and brother Yaoer. They will definitely meet in the future. Isn't the secret exposed?"
He got up and pointed: "Wan Zhang has something smeared on his face. His true appearance is much darker than this. His beard and eyebrows are all fake. If Uncle Yang hadn't been with me today, he would have killed you by surprise and left. Mr. Lin and the others wouldn't have been able to do that."
After coming out of the tent, there was no time to see him. Although a few brothers saw him, they were in a hurry and did not have time to take a closer look. Furthermore, Wan Zhan saw that he had voted for this person, and this matter must be hidden from Situ Pan.
He himself is still a bandit, and the world is in chaos. It's still unclear when Lord Lin and Mr. Jia will meet him. And the brothers who saw him in disguise thought he was a soldier of Prince Teng of Lingnan."
Jia Cong stayed for half a day and said: "Also. Regardless of whether it was Situ Yu behind the scenes or not, he didn't know that we had guessed his identity. Jia Cong was not killed by him, but by an assassin who came from nowhere; Lin Hai also
It wasn't him who captured him, but the bandits in Lingnan. After the assassin killed Jia Cong, the bandits took advantage of the chaos and captured Lin Hai, Jarvis and others, and locked him up in a certain mountain stronghold for a year and a half.
I happened to save you for some reason. Hiding the truth is extremely effective in the non-information age." He snorted and asked, "Since Wan Zhang is wearing makeup, how do you know he is Wan Zhang?"
"I spied on him practicing martial arts on Jinggang Mountain." Qi Dian said with a smile, "I recognize his body shape and kung fu techniques."
"..." Jia Cong pouted, "You weird geniuses..." Nai scratched his head again, "No, that Wan Zhang, why do you want to tell me the truth? When I asked him why he killed me, he
No matter what, the master can still be saved."
Lin Daiyu said: "Since he didn't kill you, you looked like you had already guessed who his lord was, and he was a cunning man who cherished his life. If I count on my fingers, I am afraid that sooner or later you will be subordinate to the eldest son Situ Yue.
Probably, he will have to change his lord after he returns. According to his current situation, following Situ Jian is just a test. In troubled times, a more ruthless lord is more likely to stand out than a more righteous one."
Lin Hai sighed again.
Qi Dian glanced at the people in the tent and said with a smile: "Do you know who is leading the troops on the mountain?"
Jia Cong said lazily: "Since you ask that, it is probably one of the former Tianjin commander-in-chief Cao Datong and the former Anyuan general Li Guopei. If it is Cao Datong, it would be hard to guess. From what you say, I think it is Li Guopei."
Qi Qi was a little surprised and said: "Could it be that the Third Master already knew that these two people are Situ Pan's people?"
Jia Cong said: "Li Guopei obviously did. What he did in Beijing that day was to pave the way for Situ Pan, and he was disturbed by Uncle Lin and Mr. Su. Cao Datong probably took refuge with Situ Pan after kidnapping the emperor and not knowing how to end it.
."
Lin Hai was shocked: "Speak clearly!"
Jia Cong said: "In the old years, four generals, Cao, Li and Liu Fang, rebelled against the capital. The first one was Cao Datong. He was not a member of Situ Pan at that time. Situ Pan had been the intelligence chief for many years. He selected a reckless man in advance to persuade him to take risks and help others.
It was easy for him to capture the emperor, and it was not difficult to lure him to join him afterwards. After Cao Datong captured Situ Yan and went to Tianjin, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were trapped by Li Guopei. Originally, Situ Pan had enough with these two moves. Brother Yihuan
They rescued my uncle, Mr. Su, and my second uncle, and sent a message to the capital in advance that Li Guopei's plan to support the eldest prince would not work. However, Situ Pan still needed someone to act indiscriminately and disrupt the imperial court, so that he could come out to correct the chaos, so he added another one.
In a move, the Shandong capital commander sent Liu Tong. The old man should have been controlled by Situ Pan as his staff, but now the staff he sent gradually fell out of favor. Instead, Aunt Suni, sent by Concubine Hui to the Queen Mother, gained Liu Tong's trust.
, so Situ Pan has probably lost control of Liu Tong and the Lu State. The fourth one, Jiannan Jiedushi Fang Xiong, is a member of the Six Kings. This person completely disrupted Situ Pan's mastery of stealing the country.
The plan was to send 80,000 troops to the capital, hold Situ Pan in his hands, and help the six kings to forcibly separate the world. At this point, Situ Pan has no way to return to heaven."
After hearing this, Lin Hai thought for a long time and asked, "Have you known this for a long time?"
Jia Cong said: "It was just speculation at the time, and many things were analyzed later. Although Situ Pan was powerful, the other six kings were not easy to use. As for the Supreme Emperor, he had taken advantage of Situ Pan since he was a child. Situ Pan wanted to deal with him
It's much easier for him than others."
Lin Hai sighed: "Yes, it is very easy for the wise king to deal with him." He looked at the group of children, shook his head and said, "You... you are so early..."
Jia Cong said: "You will find it hard to accept this for a while. It will get better in a while. The days are long."
Lin Hai waved his hand and said, "Please let me be quiet for a while."
The children all responded and filed out one by one. Uncle Yang also went out, leaving only Yang Song in his tent.
When they got outside, everyone gathered in Lin Daiyu's tent again. Jia Cong asked first: "Did you follow Wan Zhang or have you followed us a long time ago and just stayed in the dark without showing up?"
"It's been here a long time ago."
"Say, what a coincidence, Wan Zhang chopped it off with his sword and you popped up." Jia Cong touched his neck, "Thank you for saving my life."
She stood up and glanced at him: "The third master is really too unprepared. Wan Zhang just figured out your temper." Jia Cong smiled flatteringly and said nothing.
Dai Yunai asked: "Since I followed you a long time ago, why did you show up just now?"
Qi nodded and said, "I see that Mr. Lin is a little anxious. It would be better to make him more anxious, so as not to keep him thinking about saving the Supreme Emperor."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh a few times. Daiyu couldn't help but laugh or cry, shaking her head and saying: "Why is this? If it is like this, does the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor's Council really live on that mountain?"
He started to point out: "80% of the time, Jinggang Mountain is not a bandit at all, it is just a barracks of imperial officers and soldiers. It is extremely tightly guarded and ordinary people cannot enter. Li Guopei was determined to be overqualified at the time. At least he could be a general.
There is a small courtyard on the mountain that is kept airtight, and I think it is the only place where he is locked up. I really can't get through, otherwise I can kill the king easily."
Jia Cong clapped his hands and said: "Whatever, the original purpose is to put my uncle's worries to rest. In that case, just wait a few more years. It doesn't matter if you are hanging on a little bit, the old man can't live a happy life, he has to have something to do.
You have to worry about me, otherwise you will easily get Alzheimer's disease."
Daiyu laughed and scolded Cong'er for "talking nonsense" and said: "I thought the two days of fighting were because they wanted to give us a favor to save our lives, but now it seems that they are not willing to give this favor to Cong'er. No wonder so many soldiers came.
We won’t stop until we are caught.”
He started and said: "I followed my brothers quietly last night. When they entered the enemy camp, many elite soldiers escorted someone to escape from the main road. I couldn't see clearly because they were too far away. However, during the melee last night
It is obvious that there is no Wan Zhang. Based on his skill, if he is here, we will not lose our soldiers."
Daiyu said: "Since he is a master, he must protect his master. If you are willing to send him away from me, Cong'er, people think highly of you."
Jia Cong pursed his lips and said, "I hesitated whether to kill him or not. Anyway, we didn't know he was Wan Zhang and thought he was an assassin who came from nowhere."
Daiyu thought: "If I kill him now, will it make Situ Ke more anxious? The most important thing now is to go back to Taiwan. Are you in a hurry to deal with Situ Ke?"
Jarvis said: "Don't worry, King Yan will take care of him naturally."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said: "That is his son, and he is the son he likes very much. No matter how hard he takes care of it, you can still see it. You see, back then, the eldest prince did many evil things in Taiyuan Mansion, causing public resentment and assassinating court officials. It was not a big deal.
None. I'm not willing to give in. That guy wants my life."
He stood up and said, "Situ Jian, you don't have to worry, Jia Wuye is in the capital."
Jia Cong jumped up with an "ouch": "Yes! There is a fifth uncle! His ideas and skills are not enough for the old man to shoot bullets with his fingernails in front of the fifth uncle!" He was so happy that he walked around in the tent, "There is an uncle.
The child is so happy, so happy..." He clapped his hands again and said, "I'll write a letter right now! Sister Zhou is bringing the pigeons!" She ran out.
Daiyu hurriedly shouted: "Come back! What are you busy with? There is no rush at this moment."
Jia Cong chuckled and geared up: "I'm sorry, I get excited just thinking about someone above me."
Daiyu glared at him and said to everyone: "Everyone, let's see, how should Wan Zhang be dealt with properly?"
After thinking for a moment, Jarvis said: "Let's not interrogate Wan Zhang, and don't wash his face or pluck his beard and eyebrows. Anyway, we don't want to know. He is really important to Situ Pan. With him in hand, we can walk to Guangzhou safely.
It’s always possible.”
Everyone looked at each other for a while, then Jia Cong pointed at him and said, "Listen! This is Jarvis, the honest man recognized by the world! This idea is even worse than mine!" Then the whole room burst into laughter.
Lin Daiyu passed down the order and ordered the brothers to break up camp. The military doctor in the team briefly cleaned up the wounds of the assassin who was pretending to be a Confucian scholar. He put a large bandage on a horse and walked at the front. Jia Cong tied a knot in his hair.
A large piece of rough paper was hung down to cover his face, with two big words written on it: Hostage.
Before packing up and heading on the road, he took charcoal and hurriedly wrote a letter to Jia Xu in Beijing. In the letter, he described what he had experienced in the past few days in an innocent and aggrieved manner. Because they were not prepared to interrogate Wan Zhang, they could not determine what was going on behind the scenes.
Jia Xu went to check whether the person was Situ Yu.
