It is said that Liu Shu arrived at the Rongguo Mansion that day, and the soldiers who sent him handed the films inside. Liu Shu stood in front of the beast head gate and was stunned. Suddenly the doorman came out and said: "Your Majesty, I came just as you said, please invite Mr. Liu to sit in Qilaizhai."
"
Then he followed the person who led the way in. The main courtyard was huge, and Liu Shu was secretly shocked: If he had known that the Duke's mansion in the middle of the capital was extraordinary, he never thought that a mere courtyard could be as big as a martial arts arena. After entering Yimen, it was far away.
Seeing a row of large rooms in front of him from a distance, Liu Shu asked, "Is this the main hall?"
The guide said: "This is the hall, across from the Neiyi Gate, and inside the Neiyi Gate is the main hall." As he said, he led Liu Shu to the west. There was a Nuan Pavilion in the west, and an octagonal door was opened in front of the Nuan Pavilion.
After passing through the cave gate, they entered the courtyard. There was a plaque on the door of the main room in the courtyard. Liu Shu recognized the two characters before and after them as "Qi" and "Zhai", but he didn't recognize the character in the middle. He remembered the name "Qixie Zhai" just now.
", I guess this word is pronounced "line", but I don't know what it means.
After sitting inside for a while, someone outside shouted "The prince is here". Then he saw Jia Cong opened the curtain and walked in. He was wearing Western-style clothes and holding a paper bag in his arms. He looked a little strange. Jia Cong saw Liu
Shu looked at himself hard, straightened his back and said, "Not bad! I rarely wear suits."
Liu Shu frowned and said, "It's not ugly, it's just awkwardly tight."
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "What aesthetics! A suit is very flattering to your figure." Then he put down the paper bag and sat down across the coffee table with Liu Shu, beckoning, "Welcome to join us."
Liu Shu looked at him for a long time and said: "This word sounds like a bandit."
"More or less, they are all rebellions." Jia Cong said, "I want you to come to the capital. The main reason is that if you join the team, you must be trained first, otherwise you will not know what we are going to do. There are also some things from the past.
Make it clear."
Liu Shu was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "You don't even bother to say polite words."
"Oh, okay, let's be polite." Jia Cong coughed twice and said seriously, "Mr. Liu Shu, welcome to join our team."
Liu Shu sighed, sat blankly for a moment and said, "I never dreamed of it back then."
Jia Cong said: "Your first impression of me is too deep. Subconsciously, you always think that I am the son of a businessman. The children of officials often look down on businessmen. In fact, I am also a son of a general like you. My grandfather has great military exploits, so you must
admit."
Liu Shu immediately said: "I admit, it is better than our family."
"I am not where I am today because I started from nothing." Jia Cong said, "I inherited a lot along the way, at least sixty years less of hard work. For example, after the death of Prince Xianyi Zhong, the rest of his army were all elites——
The less elite ones were all wiped out by the imperial court." Jia Cong paused. Liu Shu was stunned for a moment and said nothing. Jia Cong continued, "These people are divided into two groups. One group is lurking in the capital, and they are responsible for finding ways to replace the master.
Revenge; the other group is headed by the two brothers Beringyi and Beringen, who are responsible for supporting Princess Yazhi, the only orphan of Prince Yi Zhong. After the two brothers obtained Hong Kong, their financial resources increased greatly, and they were no longer satisfied with being rich locals." He stopped talking.
.
Liu Shu straightened his back unconsciously: "Tell me what you are doing with white eyebrows and red eyes?"
Jia Cong turned the paper bag over. The back of the thing was facing up at first, and it was empty. After turning it over, you could see three red letters printed on the front: document bag, and Arabic numerals printed with a blue seal. Jia Cong took out a bag from it.
The whole stack of files was handed to Liu Shu first, and he pointed to the upper right corner and said: "This is called a paper clip, and it is used to attach documents."
This stack of documents was obviously a message sent back to the lord by some craftsman. What was written in it was the female craftsman sent by the State of Lu to various countries. Liu Shu said: "That Aunt Suni got it for me back then."
Jia Cong said: "This stack is all compiled from the confidential files of the Bai family in Hong Kong." Liu Shu knew who was holding Hong Kong now and glanced at him.
Jia Cong took out another letter and handed it to him. Liu Shu opened it and saw that it was an order. The boss asked the recipient to hook up with a female agent from Gao's family in Ping'an Prefecture of Lu State, pretending to be infatuated with her.
Xi Zuo returned to the State of Lu together. Liu Shu thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Tu."
Jia Cong nodded: "When we first met, I once said that no matter who Zhao Tu and Ma family go to, they may ruin the lord's career. Ma family is an extremely honest woman. She wants a handsome young man, and she wants glory and wealth.
Yes. Your father could only satisfy the latter one, so she had an affair with Zhao Tu. After the incident was exposed, she followed Zhao Tu back to Hong Kong. Although Zhao Tu was an important minister of the Bai family, he was still a minister after all. Therefore, she was in the Bai family again.
The family has hooked up with two masters, one from each house - after all, she doesn't know which house will win. Of course, even without her, the two houses of the Bai family will have to fight against each other sooner or later. Ma is like a catalyst, causing the Bai family to fall apart.
The fight started earlier and more fiercely. The Bai family fell apart. Everything left by the late Prince Yizhong fell into the hands of the people responsible for avenging the master. Their leader is my master Zhan Qiao."
Liu Shu was startled for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said, "You picked it up cheaply... You must have known that he was from the Bai family back then."
"Yes." Jia Cong excused himself, "otherwise, why do you think I appeared in the Lu State by chance? I went to help the two of them escape so that they could harm the Bai family." Liu Shu rolled his eyes.
Jia Cong handed him another letter calmly. After Liu Shu read a few lines, he slapped the case and stood up, his face as cold as frost.
Jia Cong said hurriedly: "Don't get excited! Didn't you know from the beginning that Liu Qian is Zhao Tu's classmate and friend?"
Liu Shu clenched his fists, looked at Jia Cong for a long time and said coldly: "Where is Zhu Tong?"
"Zhu Tong and Zhao Tu are both direct descendants of Prince Yi Zhong from their ancestors. Because Zhao Tu's power in Lu State was growing, Bai Lingyi sent Liu Qian to help. After Zhao Tu happened, he had no choice but to send Zhu Tong to replace him.
Missing." Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "Unfortunately, they are all meticulous."
Liu Shu smashed the coffee table hard and gritted his teeth. "My father and son have shown their sincerity to them and obeyed their advice!" He chuckled twice, "I have fed my heart to the dog!"
"You really can't blame them for this. Everyone is their own master." Jia Cong handed him the remaining files in his hand, "These are all found from the Bai family in Hong Kong. You will understand after reading them, your family loses
If there is no injustice, even if there is no Bai family, it will fall into the hands of other families. You, I, are really not the master's material."
Liu Shu slowly sat back on the chair, picked up the file and put it down again. Finally he shook his head and said, "I have to take it slow."
Jia Cong nodded: "I'll arrange a place for you." Then he stood up.
Liu Shu suddenly asked: "Where is Zhu Tongren?"
"Going back to my hometown."
Liu Shu sneered: "I remember he is from Chang'an?"
"right."
Jia Cong left. Liu Shu sat and looked at the stack of files. It turned out that more than a dozen vassal states had made plans for the Lu State, and Zhao Tu, Zhu Tong and others noticed the clues. The Bai family sent another person to investigate, and the latter one
All of them have been cleaned up. Not to mention, the beauties in Liu Tong's backyard alone are very meticulous, not to mention the servants and maids in Liu's mansion. Many of the civil and military officials in the imperial court were sent by other families. In comparison, the Bai family in Hong Kong
There were not many people. King Yan sent more than 30 people, but they were not as talented as Zhu Tong, and none of them were reused. What's more, Zhu Tong also married Liu Tong's daughter, and they were extremely affectionate. After seeing it, Liu Shubia
Juan sat in silence. During these years of the division of the empire, the State of Lu had been the prey of kings.
For a while, Jia Cong arranged a guest room for him and returned to Qishaizhai. Liu Shu had already calmed down a lot and asked tiredly: "Show me what this is for."
Jia Cong said: "I hope you can understand Zhu Tong. After all, you are now revolutionary comrades."
Liu Shu snorted: "I promised you not to work in the same place with him."
"Uh... okay." Jia Cong curled his lips, "I originally wanted you two to work together to get the Qin State."
Liu Shu snorted again: "I knew that when Zhu Tong returned to his hometown, you must be plotting against Qin."
Jia Cong said: "The Qin State's martial arts troupe has been almost infiltrated by the Gao family in Chang'an. It's just that King Qin's kid recently got the idea of setting up a new group of military generals to compete with the Gao family. It's hard to manage the child when he is older. !After all, it’s almost the rebellious stage.”
Liu Shu was noncommittal. After being quiet for a long time, he murmured: "None of my father's staff is loyal. They are all craftsmen."
Jia Cong said: "It's very simple. The world is divided into so many parts. As talents, there are too many choices. No matter from any angle, General Liu Tong is not a good choice. After all, the princes are named Situ, who wants to take it? There is no need to make excuses for Lu Guo to have surgery."
When Liu Shu thought that this was indeed the case, he raised his forehead slumpedly. After a while, he asked: "What does the word "Hai" on the plaque outside mean?"
"Um... I just remember that it is a weather phenomenon similar to rain and snow, but I don't know the details." Jia Cong rubbed the back of his head, "You can look up Shuowen's explanation of the characters."
Liu Shu looked at him: "You don't know the meaning of your own plaque?"
"It's not my fault. I don't care about plaques or couplets."
Liu Shu suddenly sat upright: "I can't even study with you."
Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "I was mediocre in my studies. No, I didn't even get admitted as a scholar. If it weren't for Uncle Lin's strict control back then, my handwriting would still be crooked to this day."
"Then why did King Yan choose military generals to instigate rebellion, and why did he choose his sons who didn't even go to school?"
Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "I just didn't bother to study the Four Books and Five Classics. I have read everything I should read. It doesn't matter if I recognize a few obscure words. And I read a lot and read everything. The books are left by the predecessors. I’ve learned from my experience that it’s hard to lie to those who have read a lot. For example, if you believe that Zhao Tu is in love with your daughter Xizuo, I won’t believe it.”
"Why don't you believe it?"
"Zhao Tu is a talented and well-educated person. We have to admit this. He is also good-looking. Back in Ping'an Prefecture, he was the nephew of the most trusted confidant around Gao Li, the military governor. Among the younger generation, Gao Li was the most trusted. The one I value most is Zhao Tu. He is a young talent with a bright future. Although your handsome appearance is somewhat attractive, it is far from stunning, and there is nothing attractive about his temperament. Characteristics. I believe that Zhao Tu fell in love with Ma. Ma’s appearance is very outstanding in the world, not to mention that she is also very smart; if he is willing to abandon everything in Ping’an Prefecture because he is obsessed with your Nv Xizuo - Nv Xizuo I don’t have that kind of capital.” Jia Cong smiled and said, “This is experience.”
Liu Shu thought for a long time and then said with a smile: "With Zhu Tong's talent, coming to Lu will be like Zhao Tu falling in love with that girl Xizuo."
Jia Cong thought for a while: "If he comes from a bad background and can't find a way out elsewhere, that would make sense. Or maybe he fell in love with your sister first - he really loves your sister. Then it's okay for the son-in-law to help his father-in-law. .However, he has an uncle who is a prefect in Chang'an, but he went to Lu to become an official, which is not right. Why should he? Qin can give everything Lu can give, and he can do everything at his hometown. My uncle and Mr. Chen were having a fierce fight at that time. If you were to replace yourself as Zhu Tong, wouldn't it be a bit strange to make this decision?"
Liu Shu pursed his lips: "It's really a bit strange."
"The King of Yan is a man with all four corners. Since he carefully selected your father and Cao Datong, he must be sure that these two will not pose a threat to him. But he did not expect that the King of Shu also prepared a Jiannan Jiedu
Fang Xiong, Ah Shu, please think about what would happen to your father if the world fell into the hands of King Yan instead of being divided into vassal states."
Liu Shu thought to himself: "If you are lucky, you will abandon your armor and surrender, but no matter how difficult it is to command an army; if you are unlucky, you will be ambushed from all sides, and everyone will die in battle."
Jia Cong glanced at him: "Thinking too much. The staff around your lord were sent by King Yan, so there is no need to ambush from all sides? How did the emperor get ambushed by Cao Datong? The same goes for you and me."
Liu Shu patted his forehead: "I forgot about that one." He turned to look at Jia Cong Huizi, "Why did your master choose you?"
Jia Cong said: "I am born rebellious. If he wants to avenge his lord, he must choose someone like me."
Liu Shu looked at Jia Cong Huizi: "Why are you so rebellious?"
"I don't want Baba to be bullied!" Jia Cong said, "The emperor wanted my uncle to put himself in danger, so I kidnapped him, not caring about what would harm the emperor; the concubine wanted to send my sister to become a monk, so I came directly to rob him.
He even slapped a bump on the concubine’s forehead. If I don’t rebel, who will rebel? If my fifth uncle hadn’t secretly protected me, that old eunuch Liu Dengxi would have wanted to kill me.”
Liu Shu nodded and suddenly felt trembling: "If my father falls into the hands of King Yan, I'm afraid he won't survive."
"That's right!" Jia Cong thought about it, which emperor would accept a general who had rebelled? "Your father is like Song Jiang. He can be recruited, but his life cannot be spared."
Liu Shu looked at him and said, "What about you?"
"Ah? What am I?"
"If you become emperor, wouldn't you be like their family?"
Jia Cong smiled: "So, I want you to come to the capital for training. Come on, I will take you to see Shi Qiusheng."
"Who is Shi Qiusheng?"
"In the future, he will be the leader of the Labor Party," Jia Cong said, "and he will be at odds with the business party."
Liu Shu was confused: "Are both of them yours?"
"That's right." Jia Cong said, "One party cannot succeed alone."
"Then the two parties are not allowed to fight?"
"Huh? Isn't the State of Lu experimenting with a dual parliamentary system? Let's discuss it together! If you really disagree, vote. After all, the dictatorship of the majority is better than the dictatorship of the minority. Okay, okay, I can't explain it in a few words. I'll give it a few days.
You will understand naturally. After the training is completed, we will discuss what position to arrange for you."
