Rebirth of the third master of the ring of the Red Chamber

As soon as the boy got into the car, he took off his shoes and only wore a pair of white socks. The third prince took advantage of the opportunity to hold his slender ankle, and scratched at the bottom of his feet. His face turned completely cold, and he opened his mouth slowly, "It's not true that you went down the mountain to recruit soldiers and horses, and it's true to recruit dead ghosts. You tricked these poor people into going up the mountain, and you real bandits retreated quietly, letting them die on your behalf. Isn't that right? "

The bandit didn't expect him to ask such a sharp question as soon as he came up, his expression was a little dazed and at the same time showed horror.

Seeing this, the third prince understood, and asked again, "After you evacuate, you will change into military uniforms after you take off your bandit skins, right?"

The bandit was so horrified that he couldn't close his mouth, he thought to himself, didn't this person have practiced mind-reading skills?Thinking of this, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look into the deep eyes of the other party.

"After changing into the military uniform, are you working under Su Pengju's command?"

The bandit raised his head in astonishment, just as he met his sharp gaze, he dodged away in embarrassment.He originally thought that the 'Third Lord' was scary enough, but he didn't expect this gentle man to be even more secretive.How did he know these things?If he hadn't married his younger sister who was the head of the family, he wouldn't have known about these secrets, let alone an outsider?

"Looks like I guessed it right." The Third Prince smiled coldly.

What did I say that made you guess so much, please tell me?The bandit wished he could kneel down to him.

"Seven years ago, Jiangxi Governor Duan Qinghe and his family rushed to Nan'an to take office, and they were killed by your Mangshan bandits. Six years ago, Suzhou prefect Ma Chengying took office, and were killed by your Mangshan bandits. Generals Bai Shu, Duan Dehan, Lin Jing and other generals died tragically. Su Pengju was behind all the murders?"

The bandit squeezed himself into a ball, and asked in horror, "You, who the hell are you?"

"It seems that I guessed right again." The third prince leaned against the car wall behind him, stared at the bandit for a long time without speaking, and when he was dripping with cold sweat and almost fainted, he said abruptly, "The most famous man around King Jin Mr. Gongyang, your counselor, are you from Mangshan?"

The bandit had already given up resistance, nodded weakly and said, "That's right, he used to be our military adviser, and he was highly valued by the head of the family."

The third prince shook his head and smiled wryly for a moment, and then spoke in an extremely gloomy tone, "Su Pengju has no background and no connections. He climbed to his current high position from a humble family, and there must be someone behind him to support him. Do you know who it is?"

"This little one really doesn't know! Even our boss doesn't know!" The bandit waved his hands again and again in shock, and asked Ai Ai again and again, "You should be able to guess this too, right?" Are you forcing a confession?You know better than me!

"That's right, I can guess." The third prince let out a foul breath, snatched the jug from Jia Huan's hand, took a sip, and waved his hand, "Give him the food. When he recovers some strength, take a piece of silk." Bu asked him to write down all the inside information he knew, and then stamped his fingerprints. He still has some use for me, so I can’t let him die.”

"I don't care about these bad things. It's called Xiao Ze." Jia Huan snorted, seeing the bandit move to the plate like a worm to grab a piece of meat, kicked it away, and cursed angrily, "Hungry." After four days, he eats barbecue as soon as he comes up. Do you want to die? Dumb girl, bring a bowl of porridge, and if he does anything wrong, he will be given a knife. You are welcome!"

"Hey, I got it!" The dumb girl agreed with a sweet smile, pinned a gleaming dagger to her waist, and then put a bowl of porridge on it.Her brother also pulled out the dagger from his boot, and stared at it covetously.

Xiao Ze's heart trembled when he saw it, and thought to himself how pure and cute these two little boys were before, but since they followed Mr. Huan and were forcibly trained to become little monsters, it's really chilling!

After the third prince got out of the car, the cold wind blew for a while before he sat back by the fire, and said slowly, "Su Pengju is the current governor of Liangjiang."

Jia Huan covered his mouth and said viciously, "Don't talk! The more you know, the faster you die!"

There was a deep smile in the eyes of the third prince, and he opened the five fingers of the young man, jokingly said, "But Huan'er has long been dependent on me for life and death, and has a close relationship with me. Of course you need to know these things, so you can take precautions in the future!"

Jia Huan made a vomiting expression, but he also knew that the third prince's thief boat would not be able to get off in the morning, so he had to listen to him with a sullen face while drinking.

"I have never forgotten the backgrounds of all the officials in Daqing since I was a child. All the records in the palace, all the ones I have glanced at or heard about, are all here." The third prince pointed to his head and continued, "Su Pengju, who was born in a poor family of martial arts, was a small general 13 years ago. He accidentally rescued Wen Ziheng's family who were besieged by bandits. He was the governor of Liangjiang who had just arrived at that time. I am deeply impressed by the experience of Zhima Xiaoguan becoming the current high official in Xinjiang. This experience is really too lucky and legendary. For 13 years, he has devoted himself to eradicating bandits, and has been promoted many times because of this, but the bandits in the Liangjiang area are becoming more and more rampant. He once confessed in the book that he was ineffective in suppressing bandits and failed repeatedly, but he was defeated repeatedly. Because of his witty and humorous words, not only was he not reprimanded by his father, but he was praised for his courage and dedication, and his official position was promoted by half a rank Now, after thinking about it carefully, I suddenly realized that the relationship between him and those bandits is not a life-and-death relationship, but an interdependent relationship. Only he can handle such a big matter if he dares to attack the two princes in the territory of Liangjiang. .13 years ago was the turning point of Su Pengju's life, and also the starting point of the rise of Mangshan bandits. The higher the official position, the bigger the power. Doesn't it feel too coincidental and too abnormal? Think back to Wen Ziheng back then He also single-handedly planned the family's distress."

Feeling that his mouth was a little dry, the Third Prince pointed to his lips and said with a smile, "Hey me."

Jia Huan glared at him impatiently, but slowly took a sip of wine.

The third prince gritted his teeth, said a word of good wine, and then continued, "He has always regarded himself as a supporter of the imperial party, and only obeyed his father's orders. He has never had any public relations with any prince. This is what he did very well." Well, no one can see the slightest clue, it's a pity..."

"Just tell me, which brother is it?" Jia Huan kicked him impatiently.

The third prince laughed, and said in a low voice, "This is too easy to guess. Who else is capable of planning and carrying out this matter, except for the eldest prince who was 20 years old at the time? The prince was fourteen thirteen years ago and hadn't left the palace yet." Building a mansion. The fourth prince and I were seven years old, the elder was five or six years old, the sixth and seventh princes died early, the eighth prince was two years old, and the ninth prince was not yet born. And I remember that year when the concubine Chen passed away, my father was afraid that he would be sad Excessively, he was ordered to go on a trip to relax. He arrived at Liangjiang at the first stop, and stayed here for several months before returning. I think it was at that time that I got in touch."

"It's the eldest prince, it's really unexpected." Jia Huan sighed.

Because he will take the imperial examination in the future, he also knows a little about the princes.The eldest prince is born of Concubine Chen.This Concubine Chen is a legendary figure in the Daqing Dynasty. She was originally the first wife of Jinshang, but later she had to abdicate on her own initiative to make way for the virtuous, and married the daughter of Zaifu at that time, who is now the Queen Qu Shi, for Jinshang.The first wife became a concubine, and the first son became a concubine. This pair of mother and son really lived a miserable life.When she successfully ascends the throne today, the concubine Chen will die in depression.Perhaps because of his embarrassing status, or perhaps for self-protection, the eldest prince invited him to accompany the capital to guard the imperial tomb after the concubine Chen left. Since then, he has stayed away from the world and indulged in painting and calligraphy.

I am very ashamed of his mother and son in my heart, and I made him the prince early on, and he is the only prince among all the princes, and the title is also the word "Xiaoyao".

If you say which prince you trust the most today, in front of the eldest prince, even the crown prince and Yaoer Ninth Prince would have to back off.

The third prince was obviously also recalling the past, and sighed, "I can understand his thoughts. He was originally a son, and the crown prince should have belonged to him. King Xiaoyao, what a king of Xiaoyao! Seven or eight hundred bandit dens, large and small, all listened to Mangshan's orders, and there were hundreds of thousands of bandits when they were combined. Overtly and secretly, more than [-] soldiers were in their hands, and they occupied the most fertile land in the Daqing Dynasty. If you manage it carefully for a few more years, what a huge force it will be? Maybe with a flick of a finger, Daqing can be turned upside down. Xiaoyao Wang, what a hidden Xiaoyao Wang!"

Jia Huan saw that he was thinking a little crazy, so he changed the subject, "How did you suspect Mr. Gongyang? I heard that he is your most trusted adviser."

"I met Mr. Gongyang in distress. I remember that on the day I rescued him, he suffered a serious wound on his left chest, and a piece of flesh here was cut off alive. There are so many ways to kill people. One cut, one stab But, why bother to cut a piece of meat, now that I think about it, there should be a black python tattoo symbolizing his identity, that injury is just a cover-up." The third prince pointed to his heart.

"Just because of this? Is it too far-fetched?" Jia Huan raised an eyebrow.

"Of course it's not just because of this." The third prince shook his head and continued, "Lao Wu and I were ordered to suppress the bandits this time, and we were supposed to meet up with Su Pengju before discussing the battle, but Mr. Gongyang offered me a consonant bird The strategy is to ask Lao Wu and I to pretend to be a caravan and secretly come to Mang Mountain to investigate the bandit den. Lao Wu has always liked military tactics, so even if he agrees..."

Jia Huan couldn't help but interjected, "Wouldn't it be good not to join Su Pengju? Otherwise, you will be attacked on both sides, and you won't be killed like Bai Shu, Duan Dehan and others?"

The third prince looked at him for a long time before explaining dumbfoundingly, "No way! If we meet up with Su Pengju and then make a plot, and the two princes die under his protection, think about him as a general with no background, Will he be able to withstand the thunder and wrath of his father? At that time, his official career will not only be ruined, but also the nine clans. On the contrary, we came secretly and did not inform him in advance. What’s more, if he destroys Mangshan Mountain and avenges us, this incomparable achievement will be enough for him to enter the cabinet and become a marquis and minister. With the power to control the government, he will operate a little bit more After a while, he wants to cultivate and install his own power in the army, and after three to five years, not to mention the prince, even the emperor father may give way to the master behind him."

The words paused for a moment, and the third prince showed a wry smile, and continued, "At that time, I felt that although the hornbill's plan was ingenious, it was too risky because it penetrated into the enemy's hinterland. His weakness actually persuaded him. I had no way to deal with Lao Wu, and I believed in him, so I did not stop him. Now that I think about it, this kind of risky strategy that is greedy for merit is completely different from his usual calm and sophisticated style. Quite the opposite. It wasn’t until that day when the bandit unbuttoned his shirt to reveal his tattoos that I had a flash of inspiration and suspected him.”

After hearing this, Jia Huan felt that a large number of his brain cells were dying, rubbed his temples and said with a sneer, "Your brains are so complicated! You must have thought of this when the bandit just confessed '13 years'." Is it a lot? Come on, stop talking, I have a headache."

The third prince's depressed mood was quickly replaced by joy. He hugged the young man into his arms, gently rubbed his temples, and sighed, "It would be great if everyone in the world was as simple-minded as Huan'er. It's so peaceful!"

The corners of Xiao Ze's mouth twitched.

Jia Huan looked at him incredulously, and sneered, "Like me? Like me, they are a group of mobs. Daqing is going to be turned upside down!"

"How come?" The Third Prince waved his hand, "The mob is easy to appease. As long as they are fed and clothed, and they don't have to be displaced, their flesh and blood will be separated, and they will be obedient and not cause trouble."

Jia Huan didn't make a sound, just closed his eyes, and lay comfortably in his arms to enjoy.

The third prince shook his head and laughed, thinking, look, isn't this easy to appease?As long as you stroke the fur, you will be as cute as a cat.
