Zhan Feng asked Liu Xiaoqi to send two more people to Prince Yan's Mansion to prevent the real Prince Yan from entering the mansion to replace the fake one. Liu Xiaoqi muttered: "The fake one is already airtight." Still he agreed.
.
Jia Cong asked: "What kind of father-in-law, after finding Xiao Qi's cryptic letter in the study room of the Marquis of Dingcheng, he should have reported it to King Yan."
"That's right!" Zhan Feng knocked on the desk, "Xiao Qi, you should turn around and follow him."
Liu Xiaoqi thought for a while: "It was my fault."
Jia Cong said: "Now they are in the dark, and we are in the open. There are benefits to being open. Next time I see Eunuch Quan, I will break him."
Liu Xiaoqi frowned: "I don't know where our people are yet."
"Most likely he is still in Prince Yan's Mansion. In that case, just find an excuse and look for it openly." Jia Cong said, "Besides, we may not have killed our father-in-law." He winked, "You are speaking in Ganxi dialect.
Xie Jing has worked in Jiangxi for more than ten years and specializes in doing business with Green Forest people."
Everyone smiled. Lin Daiyu nodded: "That's fine."
Liu Xiaoqi clasped her fists: "I have the order."
Zhan Kun told Liu Xiaoqi by the way that he was not there at that time. They all agreed to keep an eye on the fourth son's house of the Yanwang family, and walked around inside to look for clues about his father. They also went to the suburbs to check on the high officials, and asked Liu Xianglian and Xue Pan.
Jiang Zixuan and others helped to stock up on food, and Jia Congming asked Sun Shaozu if he had any other suggestions. Liu Xiaoqi shook his head: "Saving people is the most important thing, I don't care about anything else."
It was almost the twelfth lunar month, it was getting late, and it was still dark outside. Everyone dispersed. Jia Cong left the gate of Lin Mansion, went in a circle and came back. Lin Daiyu was washing her face. She heard that he was back again, so she took
The handkerchief came out. Jia Cong came closer and whispered: "If Situ Pan comes to see Uncle Lin, please sister, please don't let him leave." Nai Gong handed over his hand and left.
After returning home and sleeping for two hours, Jia She sent someone to wake up his son. Jia Cong stared blankly and drank a bowl of porridge, then stood in front of the steps in a daze. Snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky. Jia Cong hummed a ditty: "
You are in the bright sunshine in the south, and the snow is falling, and I am in the cold night in the north, and it is like spring all year round..."
The boy said from the side: "Sir, it's snowing here."
Jia Cong put his hands behind his hands and shook his head: "This is called synesthesia."
Just as he was talking, Jia She's people came again and brought a painting to Jia Cong. Jia Cong opened it and saw that it was Wen Daguan who collected grain. Jia She asked the painter to paint the picture as a helmet and a whip.
Jia Cong, a military general of A, was not willing to see Sun Shaozu, and wanted to do other things first to delay the meeting. His father had even prepared a portrait, so he had no choice but to put the portrait in his arms and change his body.
clothes to go out.
After Jia Cong and others took over the capital, Sun Shaozu was immediately dismissed from his post, and a short-term auxiliary general was transferred directly from the command of the Beijing camp. Although he was still a third-grade official, he was no different from being at home. The ancestor of the Sun family was originally Ning Rong.
His disciples in the mansion were family friends. A few days ago, Sun Shaozu planned to visit Rongguo Mansion and talk about old things with Jia She. However, Lin Daiyu sang another song to exempt agricultural taxes. His family was in the Yan Kingdom.
There is a lot of land, and if you follow the new tax policy, you will have to pay a lot more money from next year. I was so angry that I didn't want to go and stayed at home feeling angry.
When the third son was the crown prince, Sun Shaozu received many rewards for his great contributions. The third son also specially rewarded six beauties. Since they were gifts from the crown prince, Xia Jingui not only couldn't repair them, but also had to treat her with kind words.
Food and clothing. Some of these six are gentle and docile, some are charming and charming, and none of them is as hot-tempered as Xia Jingui. Sun Shaozu liked him so much that he never entered Xia Jingui's room again. Xia Jingui could not bear it until his heart was broken.
Cursing her husband every day and being a bunch of vixens will not lead to a happy death.
Unexpectedly, not long after, the capital city changed again. Not only did Sun Shaozu lose his official position, but his three highnesses also disappeared! The crown prince was replaced by a three-year-old child, and a new regent who was less than thirty years old was added.
Xia Jingui immediately became energetic - the regent's sister had personally invited her to come to the palace for a banquet. Then her voice became louder and her temper became worse. She scolded Sun Shaozu and vixen all day long. The food and clothing of the six beauties suddenly dropped.
She worked in more than one position, and was often scratched by her. Sun Shaozu hated her to the core, but he didn't dare to divorce her - he didn't know whether the court salary would be returned to her. Xia Jingui's natal family was really wealthy.
Just now, Jia Cong came to the door. Sun Shaozu was stunned for a moment when he heard the news: "Who is visiting?"
The disciple said happily: "The regent is here to visit! Congratulations to the general."
Sun Shaozu didn't even change his clothes. He stood up and ran back and forth. When he ran to the door, he saw a young man wearing a black cloak standing smiling, with a lot of snow falling on his body. Behind him were a dozen people in dark green military uniforms.
Soldier Sun Shaozu took a breath, cupped his hands and said, "May I ask who this is?"
Jia Cong smiled, cupped his hands and said, "The little king is Jia Cong."
Sun Shaozu hurriedly turned over and bowed down. Jia Cong was not polite. After he finished bowing, he stepped forward to help him up and said, "I have wanted to visit General Sun for a long time. I have been really busy the past few days, and now I have some free time."
He smiled and said, "I remember, General Sun is still related to my brother Xue?"
Sun Shaozu hurriedly said: "Zhuo Jing and Lord Xue are cousins. Speaking of our marriage, he was the matchmaker."
"Oh?" Jia Cong pretended to be surprised, "It's actually a good story."
Sun Shaozu's eyes made two folds of laughter: "Thanks to Lao Xue!" He thought to himself, could it be that Xue Pan secretly helped him? So he bowed and led Jia Cong in.
The two of them sat inside for a while, drank half a cup of tea, and exchanged a few words. Jia Cong said seriously: "General Sun, I have something to ask you today." Sun Shaozu hurriedly said he didn't dare. Jia Cong said, "Yan**
Although the team has been equipped with muskets, the training and management are still the same as before. Next year we will rectify and reorganize the army. One squad of ten, three squads and one company, three companies and one battalion, and three battalions and one regiment will be organized like this. Each
Each company must have instructors responsible for the daily cultural education and ideological upbringing of the soldiers."
Sun Shaozu was completely confused when he heard this: "What did the prince say? The general can't understand it at all."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "The general didn't understand it the first time he heard it. The general understood it after Xiao Wang explained it." Then he explained it to him in detail.
Sun Shaozu was also a general, and he understood before he finished listening: The regent wanted to assign a gentleman to every thirty soldiers. This gentleman's power was not small, and he divided half of the power of the general. He couldn't help but frown: "I'm afraid
Sir, you don’t know how to fight.”
"Don't worry, general." Jia Cong said, "Instructors don't care about fighting, they don't understand. They are responsible for teaching the soldiers how to read and telling them not to violate military regulations. However, their opinions on promotion are also very important.
"
"Supervising the army?"
"No." Jia Cong said with a bitter smile, "It is not used to monitor the army. The instructors only instruct the soldiers in daily life. They do not care about training or fighting. But their character must be managed. Yan State does not want ruffians in the army. Look, General Sun," he
Looking at the guards following him, he asked, "Are my people stronger than the imperial guards?"
Sun Shaozu nodded and said: "You are indeed energetic."
"This is the soft power of the army." Jia Cong said sincerely, "It is very important! My requirement is that the army can be recruited, can fight, and can win if it stands. Just having firearms without spirit is
It is extremely difficult to do. In this regard, the Yan** team is inferior to those in Taiwan and Guangxi in the south, just because there is no instructor. General, has he ever heard that Hong Kong's troops are punished for beating their wives and children?"
Sun Shaozu was shocked: "Why?"
"Women and children are all weak. Bullying the weak means that you cannot defeat the strong, and your martial arts skills are too poor. Just like smart people never argue with fools, people with strong martial arts skills will not fight with women and children - it is too boring."
Sun Shaozu said with a smile: "The fight between the couple is obviously not serious. This one is too remote."
Jia Cong said with a smile: "Brother Xue said that General Sun and his wife grew more and more in love with each other the more they fought." Sun Shaozu was a little embarrassed, secretly annoyed that Xue Pan said anything in front of the regent, and he became more and more convinced that Xue Pan said good things on his behalf.
Jia Cong then straightened his back and said seriously, "Therefore, the generals of the Royal Forest Army may be mobilized. Not only the generals, but also the soldiers will be mobilized. I hope General Sun can explain it to the generals.
One or two.”
Only then did Sun Shaozu understand what he was here for, and he couldn't help but be ecstatic. This was a sign that he would be reused! He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to appease the generals."
When Jia Cong heard this, he immediately laughed and said loudly: "General Sun is indeed a man. Thank you, General. Please give me a favor." Then he stood up and bowed. Sun Shaozu was so happy that he quickly returned the salute. Jia Cong suddenly remembered something and said, "
I'm looking for someone, I wonder if General Sun recognizes him."
Sun Shaozu hurriedly asked: "Who is it?"
Jia Cong took out the portrait from his arms and said, "He must be a general of Yan State."
Sun Shaozu took the portrait and looked at it for a long time, then frowned and said, "I have never seen this person before."
"No problem." Jia Cong sighed softly, "It's troublesome to find someone."
Sun Shaozu looked at it for a while and finally shook his head: "I don't recognize it."
Jia Cong didn't expect him to recognize him at first, so he said a few words casually, then left and went straight to the political hall to do some work.
On the other side, Liu Si searched the Yanwang Mansion for a whole day under the pretext of looking for something important, but could not find Zhou Deshan's family or her mother. Jia Cong suddenly felt like he was watching a TV series in his previous life - at first we were all underground.
The party, now that it has liberated the city of Beijing, has to guard against counterattacks and sabotage by the Communist Party's special agents, and I can't help but have a lot of thoughts.
When he returned home in the evening, the doorman greeted him and said, "Your Majesty is back!" He then whispered, "There is an eldest sister who has been waiting for Your Majesty for half a day."
Jia Cong threw the reins to him and asked casually: "What eldest sister?"
The disciple said: "She said that her master knows the second girl and she is a relative of the Xue family."
Jia Cong was stunned: "Huh?" What's the strange origin of this? He immediately remembered a person - he just went to see a relative of Xue Pan this morning, Sun Shaozu. He asked quickly, "Where is the person?"
"Waiting at the concierge's door." The doorman smiled and led him over.
I saw a beautiful woman in lake blue clothes standing up and blessed. Jia Cong asked: "Who sent you?"
"My master is Xia, the cousin of Lord Xue, Marquis of Zhongming." The woman lowered her head gently and took out a piece of snow-white collar. She was not afraid of the cold on this snowy day.
Jia Cong was startled: Could this woman be Xia Jingui's maid who was also mentioned in the original work? He became interested and asked: "What is your name?"
"Slave Baochan."
Jia Cong smiled slightly: "Since she is Brother Xue's cousin, she is also related to our family. Let's go and talk inside."
Then he led Bao Chan in, found a place to sit in the outer study room where Jia Lan had been, and sent the waiters out. He looked at Bao Chan with a smile: "I have heard of Ms. Xia Jingui's name, and she is a smart person. I
I feel that Ms. Xia will not send someone close to me for no reason."
Bao Chan didn't expect that he would know that he was Xia Jingui's personal person. He was surprised and happy, and said, "It's really important for our wife to send me here."
"Well, you say."
"Our master lied today!" Bao Chan said, "He recognized the portrait that the prince showed him!"
Jia Cong stood up suddenly and exclaimed, "Does he recognize that portrait?!"
Bao Chan nodded: "He knows it! The prince is not familiar with us men, so we can't tell. Our wife can tell at a glance that he is lying."
It turns out that everyone in the Sun family is snobbish. When Sun Shaozu is in power, he listens to Sun Shaozu, and when Sun Shaozu loses power, he listens to Xia Jingui. These days, Sun Shaozu has lost his official position, and the boys in the concierge often go to Xia Jingui to flatter him. Today, Jia Cong
When he came to visit, he mentioned Xue Pan at the gate. Sun Shaozu followed his words and said that his wife was Xue Pan's cousin. The servants thought that the regent had a close relationship with his wife's cousin, so they hurried to Xia Jingui to report the good news. Xia Jingui
She was so happy that she didn't expect that her cousin Duan Xiu had such a big backer. She didn't shy away from the issue of whether men and women were close to each other, so she hurriedly picked up bright clothes and ran to the front.
The Sun family didn't dare to stop them, and Jia Cong's soldiers didn't care. Xia Jingui walked straight to the door. Because he didn't dare to go in rashly, he winked at Bao Chan. Bao Chan gently lifted the curtain and took a look inside.
The two of them were sitting upright, as if they were talking about something important, so they didn't interrupt. Pian Xia Jingui took a look and saw that the soldiers in dark green military uniforms in the room were all upright, and she was extremely envious. The room where they were talking was originally a
A large room was separated by a large screen, so Xia Jingui quietly went to the next door and peeped from the corner of the screen. She originally wanted to spy on the soldiers, but she happened to hear Jia Cong showing Sun Shaozu a portrait. The expression on Sun Shaozu's face was clearly visible.
, he will definitely recognize the person in the portrait.
Xia Jingui thought, if there was a regent to back him up, what would he be afraid of if he divorced this person named Sun in the future? Besides, he had a close relationship with the regent's sister in his early years. After thinking about it, he finally dismissed Bao Chan.
Come to Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Cong took a deep breath. Although he didn't know why Sun Shaozu lied, at least he had a breakthrough. Since he didn't want the ladder when he was handed it, he couldn't blame himself for being rude. He looked at Bao Chan seriously and said, "Miss Bao Chan, thank you Xia
Madam, please send a message to me, I will remember her contribution."
Bao Chan hurriedly said: "What's the point of credit without credit! Our wife also recognizes your second aunt and grandma, so naturally we don't want to watch the master deceive the regent."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Does she still recognize my second sister? I am the only biological sister."
"I recognize you!" Bao Chan said, "Our wife also came to the Rongguo Mansion for a banquet. It was invited by my second aunt."
Jia Cong smiled even more and said, "When my sister returns to Beijing in the future, they can meet again."
