Jia Cong and the prince of Shu were sitting in the octagonal pavilion, drinking tea. The prince made the tea. The prince looked at the shore of the lake, where several guards who had followed Jia Cong were sitting around playing cards, and said: "Who is under Third Uncle Jia?"
When it comes to managing the guerrillas, they are too harsh."
Jia Cong said: "He is a junior brother of mine who is most liked by Master." He thought for a while and said, "The purpose of setting up the guerrillas is not to cause trouble for the Shu Kingdom, but to give the people at the bottom a reason to believe in justice. Since ancient times,
The propaganda of the ruling class to the lower class people has always been that people are divided into three, six or nine grades. The masters kill the slaves, the nobles suppress the lowly, and the officials bully the people. It is natural and natural. However, the people of Bashu are fierce. When I chose to establish a guerrilla force in Shu, I considered it.
Because of this geographical feature, the people of Bashu are not easy to bully, so they are not easy to be numb and accept their fate. For social revolution, the lack of resistance of the ruled class is more fatal than anything else. Moreover, the Shu area is mountainous and easy to hide."
"So Uncle Jia never thought of retaining my Situ family's empire from the beginning."
"That's not true." Jia Cong took a sip of tea, "I originally planned to get some money to go to North America."
"later?"
"I wonder if my eldest niece has read "The Biography of Lin Hai"." Jia Cong said, "Although he is still alive, the biography has already been published."
The prince nodded: "I have seen it."
"After the Emperor ordered Uncle Lin to risk his own life and return to Suzhou, I decided not to hide in North America myself, but to dismantle the imperial rule of this country and no longer allow one person to have the power to order another person to die." Jia
Cong looked at her and said, "Don't say that if your grandfather had sat on that chair, this would not have happened. Your grandfather did not sit on that chair. Your grandfather, Prince Yizhong, King Yan, the previous King of Chu and even the previous King of Qin, etc., all
He is as powerful as the Supreme Emperor. Based on your great-grandfather's political achievements, he must be considered a wise leader, but he chose the most incompetent third among his sons. He just has the power to put his personal interests above the interests of the country. I want to deal with him
It is this kind of personal power that is unchecked and has huge influence." He paused, "This kind of power will not only harm the subjects, but the first thing it will harm is you, the royal family."
The prince thought for a long time and said: "Shortly after Mr. Lin Hai returned to Suzhou, Mr. Jarvis gave my grandfather an idea to unite the emperor. I have thought about it repeatedly over the years. If there had been a slight mistake in the alliance of the six kings in those years, the world would not be what it is now.
This is what it looks like.”
Jia Cong also thought for a long time: "Were you born? It seems not. Anyway, in the history books of later generations, except for King Qi, all the other kings were killed. See Prince Yi Zhong." The prince took a breath. Jia Cong paused.
After a pause, he continued, "Your grandfather almost rebelled, so your family was the first. Then the other families were implicated, and those who were able to get along and those who were not were all found excuses to get involved. The Prince Yan family was two years late."
"Only two years?" The prince looked complicated, "Without King Yan, he would not be able to secure his position at all."
Jia Cong spread his hands: "That's why King Yan must die."
The prince hummed: "Apart from him, the most incompetent person is King Qi."
"So the King of Qi's family is safe and sound." Jia Cong suddenly looked like you owed me money, "And your family has implicated my family because Jia Zhen took refuge in your grandfather. My father was beheaded at Caishikou, and my brother Jia Lian was exiled to Saibei not long ago.
Then he died. Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and I spent a few years in prison and either became beggars or monks when we came out. You see, it was clearly the Ningguo Mansion that took refuge with your grandfather, but it made our family like that. The law of association is simply
The chief of all evil."
The prince was startled: "I have canceled that!"
"But according to the history books, you were not born at all!" Jia Cong said confidently, "When I come back from the future and realize that I am 'that' Jia Cong, it will be like a thunderbolt!"
The prince thought about the situation for a moment, as if it was a bit pitiful. "What will happen to me in the future?"
"One of the descendants of the Supreme Emperor had poor health and died of illness in his early twenties. Before his death, he married a terrible little wife, but this little wife raised a son. The son was too young, and the little wife listened to the government from behind the curtain and arbitrarily plundered the people's wealth and took away all the wealth.
She built the Old Summer Palace, known as the Empress Dowager Cixi in history. Later, the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing. The people hated Cixi so much that they led the way for foreign troops. The Eighth Army team couldn't rob the Old Summer Palace all together, so they set fire to the garden.
The treasures accumulated by the emperors in their lifetime were reduced to nothing. The country was destroyed and the family was destroyed." The prince's eyes widened. After a long silence, Jia Cong let out a long sigh, "Then the Japanese invaded China. It was so tragic that I don't want to talk about it."
The prince nodded: "No wonder you were the first to instigate people to destroy Japan."
"And he committed ethnic genocide. In later generations, this is called a crime against humanity, and it is the most serious felony that can never be washed away." Jia Cong took a sip of tea slowly, "Fame is of no use."
After another long silence, the prince asked, "Uncle Jia, are you Nezha?"
"Of course not." Jia Cong spread his hands, "Didn't you see that I advocate science and oppose superstition every day?"
"But you have indeed founded Taoism." The prince said, "I sent people to check. Although you didn't say anything explicitly, it is true that there are many more Taoist temples in various parts of the federation than before, and the monk temples have declined a lot. The Western Nestorian religion
The churches and temples of the Great Food Cult are almost extinct.”
"Because Taoism is a national religion! The rest are foreign." Jia Cong shook his head, "Niece, you have never seen the horrors of later generations, so it is impossible for you to understand my national plot. Western Nestorianism and Taoist Christianity are seriously xenophobic.
, there is a risk of splitting the country."
"Then why not just throw it all away and go full atheism?"
"People need religion." Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "For example, a family has done good deeds from the oldest to the youngest. The ancestors have not done a single bad thing for three generations, but they encounter a natural disaster and most of them are killed or injured. If there is no religion,
How can living people accept it? Religion can at least give them a spiritual refuge. Whether it is because they have done too much evil in their previous lives or they have experienced disasters in the lower realms, there is always a way to explain it. Not everyone can be strong."
The prince nodded slowly: "I understand." She picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. "How on earth did you empty the warehouse of HSBC Bank? I'm really curious."
Jia Cong said: "I really don't know. I wanted to ask someone, but I forgot about it. Maybe there is some truth?"
"No."
"The tunnel entrance may be located in an unexpected place." Jia Cong touched his chin, "Or it was transported by air."
The prince was surprised: "Helicopter?"
Jia Cong said "Hey": "You actually know about helicopters?"
"It often happens in science fiction novels."
"It hasn't been made yet," Jia Cong said. "Currently there are only small airships and they are still in the research and development stage. The hot air balloon is too big. If you send a detailed one, you won't be able to see it. Otherwise... the special battalion will help move it."
The prince raised his eyes and stared at him: "You have set up a special forces camp in Chengdu?"
"Of course not." Jia Cong said, "Chengdu is not far from the state of Qin. March here in a hurry, find a deserted place to climb over the wall, carry a bag of gold on each person's back, and then climb out. As long as there are enough people, you don't need two
A vault can be emptied in an hour."
The prince was astonished: "That treasury is huge."
Jia Cong said: "Ants moving can move the entire ant nest."
The prince shuddered: The special battalion can be randomly dispatched to do such things, which shows how powerful the federal military is. This is because people don't fight, and if they want to fight against themselves, they don't even know how to lose. Think again, Qi State and Wu State
Aren't they all destroyed somehow? After a long while, he said in a daze: "You have always read the history books of later generations and mixed it into political affairs to really cheat."
Jia Cong exclaimed: "Is it possible that I'm waiting to confiscate the house?"
The prince was speechless. For a long time, he opened his mouth and then closed it. After a while, he said angrily: "Why have we arrested so many state and county officials?"
Jia Cong spread his hands and said: "I really don't know, 80% brainwashing... Well, I'm going to study. You should first think about how to deal with the present, there may be an economic crisis in a while." The prince slapped the case with a "dong", and the table shook. Jia Cong hurriedly
He said, "The HSBC bank is really innocent. It has nothing to do with it and has no knowledge of it. There is nothing to fight against. You ask me to ask Liu Feng. Liu Feng's fictitious employer has long since stopped caring about the bank."
"Who is in charge of the bank? Jia Tanchun?"
"No." Jia Cong said, "My third sister is in charge of finance and business."
The prince's heart skipped a beat. "Minister Lu Sangu."
"right."
The prince thought, Lu Sangu is a very well-organized master. Let her stop without any reason. According to the rules of the federation, even Jia Cong may not be able to do it.
Jia Cong said: "The most useful method for Shu at present is to admit that it was wrong."
The prince stared: "Where can I put my grandfather's face?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "There is a gentleman named Wu Mingyou. He did some deception and deceived your wise and powerful grandfather. Gods sometimes fall into the trap of villains."
The prince sighed. After a long while, he leaned back on his chair and said blearily: "Your military strength is so much stronger than that of other countries. Why do you just want to dominate the world? You have to create some kind of federation."
Jia Cong said honestly: "I don't want to kill anyone. Shu is not as weak as Qi."
"Wu is not weak either."
"Chen Ruiwen happens to be my brother-in-law, and Queen Mother Shen happens to be the niece of Shen Zhao, the governor of Yunnan." Jia Cong said, "Let's take them two down first, and the rest will just go through the motions."
The prince was shocked and stood up. He opened his mouth to scold but didn't know who to scold. He stayed there for half a day. "Is the first king of Wu blind?"
"Really not." Jia Cong said seriously, "Empress Dowager Shen is very beautiful, and she is from your Shu country. I chose her by mistake for one of your uncles, and was killed by you. She was sold into slavery. Later, a businessman bought her and gave her to her.
She was the uncle of the crown prince of the former Wu Kingdom. Seeing her rare beauty, the uncle turned her back and paid tribute to the former king of Wu. At that time, no one thought she was so capable." After a pause, Jia Cong said slowly, "Shen Zhao is so good.
An official was ruined because of his involvement, and I got an advantage. You can’t blame me for this, you Shu Kingdom doesn’t want it first.”
The prince said dejectedly: "I regret what happened to Shen Zhao very much."
"But he did not abolish the law of association." Jia Cong said softly, "I can only rely on you to change the Kingdom of Shu." The prince was silent.
Jia Cong finished the cup of tea and poured another cup for himself. Three or two guards on the lake shore sang the federal military song in unison, probably because they had lost the performance in a card game. When they finished singing, the prince stopped talking.
, rubbed his temples. After a while, he said: "I have to discuss this with my third uncle."
Jia Cong smiled and nodded: "Yes. Acen is reliable." After a while, he said again, "You are still young, and you mostly rely on your master for state affairs. You have time to think about your own affairs."
The prince sighed: "I really don't have time to spare. As a man, I am used to doing this."
Jia Cong also sighed: "If Situ Cen could be allowed to supervise the country, it would be great if you went to North America for inspection. It is vast and open over there and close to nature. It is easier for people to relax and discover their true selves."
The prince looked at Jia Cong and then at himself, and said: "It's strange. Uncle Jia, we should be considered enemies, but we can have tea and dinner in such harmony."
Jia Cong glanced at her: "Remind me, I am the savior of your family. If I had turned my back on the affairs of the world, honestly surrendered to the Supreme Emperor, worked with Xue Pan as a maritime merchant to make a lot of money, and then fled to North America, you wouldn't have done anything.
No chance of being born."
"That's right." The prince relaxed his brows unconsciously. The two of them stopped talking and ate tea quietly.
For a while, the prince left the Song Dynasty to meet her three uncles and three aunts, and talked about the story in detail in the glass room. He especially hid the section about Jia Cong's personal experience of later generations, and only said that he had read the history books of later generations. Situ Cen was speechless for a long time after hearing this.
Qiu looked at their uncle and nephew for half a day, and then said: "What does Jia Cong mean that he will not let Shu go after all?"
The prince smiled bitterly and said: "Let it go or not, let's wait for social natural selection. The gap in national power is too big, and the Shu Kingdom will join the federation sooner or later."
Situ Cen sighed: "He told me this a long time ago. I have tried my best over the years and still can't do it."
The prince shook his head and said: "Wu Dongjia from Red Bones is right, they are the ones who mass produce. We either wait to die or become like them."
Qiu said: "My eldest niece has an idea?"
The prince said: "My grandfather's face must not be thin, don't think about it. To deal with the economic crisis, we can only follow the Wu Dong family's strategy and send the West Asian items in the warehouse to Chang'an HSBC in exchange for gold and silver, and then purchase goods from other countries to stabilize prices.
, transport colonial labor back to the country to fill the gap. Fix the symptoms first. Otherwise, I may not be willing to agree when I come back."
Situ Cen and his wife looked at each other. It was obvious that the eldest niece wanted power. Qiu thought for a moment and said: "I went back to my parents' house two days ago and heard my father say that your classmate from the sophomore regiment of high school has repeatedly made military exploits, so he can take action without fighting.
And Quren Zhibing is a rare genius."
The prince smiled and said: "Don't look at the gentleness on his face, he is a military commander at heart. He has a smart mind and good skills."
Situ Cen said: "What your third aunt means is to insert him into the martial arts class while you have the power. Whether it is to support your own power or to promote talents. First, give him some real power to control the troops."
Pinch it." The prince was startled.
Qiu said: "I don't think your father and I will be able to change the fundamentals after going to the south for inspection. Otherwise, why would the water-soluble water still be the same?"
The prince thought for a long time and said: "He is so young, even though..." She moved and looked up to see her third aunt. Qiu smiled slightly. After thinking about the prince for a while, the prince shook his head. "I don't want my father and my third uncle to fight with each other."
See you."
Situ Cen patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, you take the blame." The prince was stunned. "What's the matter, if you don't take the blame, do you still want your third uncle to take the blame?"
The prince hesitated for a long time. "I'll carry it."
