The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Jia Huan sent a letter saying that he wanted to marry Princess Jian'an. Jia She asked, "But the one who fell in love with Baoyu's poem?"

Jia Cong said: "Yes. That thing was so abrupt, brother Yao'er and I felt strange, there must be some other reason. Brother Huan admires him, he must not be a fool."

Jia She said: "No matter what the reason is, the second child and the ancestor will definitely not agree."

Jia Cong twitched the corner of his mouth: "The two of them have nothing to say."

Jia She was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "It's true, why do I keep forgetting about this, obviously I'm getting old." Then he asked, "How old is the princess?"

Jia Cong said: "I checked, this year is twelve."

Jia She immediately put down his chopsticks and scolded: "It's not even a flower bone! What's the hurry, little brat? Let him wait! At least wait until the girl turns fifteen, right? A housewife."

Jia Cong couldn't help laughing: "Brother Huan is definitely not in a hurry. What is Dad thinking? There is Yihong Courtyard in the middle of the capital. King Lu went to Luzhou, not to mention the long distance. It is fatal to be unfamiliar with the place. She is Luzhou. Wang's elder sister, is it possible that her mother's family will marry someone? Brother Huan is probably afraid of engagement."

Jia She waved his hand and said, "Nothing! What's the point of being engaged? Since he likes it, he should grab it before we get married."

Jia Cong stretched out his thumb: "Father, you still have the guts!"

Jia She stroked his beard proudly and said, "Where did you come from?"

Jia Cong made a grimace, and suddenly said "ah": "If brother Huan wants to marry Princess Jian'an, wouldn't it be inevitable to meet Han Quan?"

Jia She said: "So what if we meet each other? Even if they look alike, how can they be the same person? She has no evidence, but we have evidence. Besides, there are many rules in the palace. Maybe the two of them have never been the same since they were young." I have seen it a few times, but I may not recognize it. If the girl wants to marry, at least four or five years later, Han Quan will have a big idea, and she may have changed her appearance by then, and she may not recognize it."

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "Father, you are playing tricks on your strength."

Jia Amnesty glared at him, but said again: "The capital has been decided, what are your plans, Taifu?"

Jia Cong was taken aback: "Ah? What Tai Tuo?"

Jia Amnesty said, "Lin Hai. I've decided on the officer, and the Tai Tuo is the best."

Jia Cong thought about it for a while, it was really suitable, and said with a smile, "Father can do whatever he wants." He frowned and thought for a long time, Jia Amnesty urged him to eat.It wasn't until the meal was over that he said, "If Han Quan isn't used as a hook, I'm afraid we won't be able to coax Uncle Lin past us."

Jia She is busy coaxing Meng'er to eat at this moment, he didn't turn his head when he heard the words and said: "You can figure it out, as long as you don't reveal it."

Jia Cong responded and went down to write a letter to Jia Huan.After finishing writing, I picked it up and read it from the beginning, and added the section that Jia She said "Since he likes it, he snatched it before they got married".

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch, turn around and talk about Hengwu Garden.The old men received notes one after another describing the situation in Beijing and China.At first, when I saw Fang Xiong wantonly killing ministers, some stood in the hall crying bitterly, some scolded them bitterly.Lin Hai returned to the house with a long sigh and said to Su Zheng: "No wonder Cong'er insists on locking us here. Otherwise, I would be the one who died in the first group, and you will inevitably be in the second group."

Su Zheng said: "It's just that I'm trapped here, I have more time to be angry and can't do anything, and I'm so annoyed."

Unexpectedly, a note was delivered the next day, and it said: "I think you will be filled with righteous indignation and poetry. If you have any poems denouncing the thieves, you can write them in the hall. At the end, they will be transcribed and sent to Beijing." Dissemination on the streets will not make you adults write it in vain."

Lin Hai was dumbfounded!After a long while, he shook his head: "You are a scholar with nothing to use!" Then he shook his sleeves and left.

Later, when they learned that the Imperial Forest Army was returning to Beijing, they thought that the sage would also return to the court, so they clamored to go back to Beijing, but no one paid any attention to them.When he saw Liu Dengxi's house being raided at night, Lin Hai took the note and looked at it several times, and suddenly his calf softened, so he sat down on the ground.Fortunately, Su Zheng was beside him, and he quickly supported him with quick eyesight and hands.Seeing Lin Hai's eyes lost his mind as if he had lost his soul, he hurriedly invited an adult to help him sit aside and asked, "Ru Hai, what's going on?"

Su Zheng is a Hanlin, so he doesn't know how important Liu Dengxi is.Someone else knew it, and stumbled: "Eunuch Liu is the most powerful person around the saint, even more important than Eunuch Dai."

Lin Hai suddenly shouted loudly: "Dai Quan! Is Dai Quan still alive?"

They left a note to ask about this, and after a few days, the "last general" replied, "Eunuch Dai Quan is still alive, and now he is taking care of the Empress Dowager in the palace."

Only then did the old men remember that although the first emperor passed away, the queen mother is still here!Lin Hai scolded: "What a cunning old thing!"

After a few days, the fifth prince ascended the throne again, and sent the remaining two princes out of Beijing.Lin Hai gave up completely, and couldn't eat or sleep for several days.

Su Zheng persuaded: "Maybe the virtuous king has no other choice? The sage has gone to nowhere."

Lin Hai sneered and said, "Aside from him, who else would kill Liu Dengxi? Dai Quan is still alive. Although there is no Jinyiwei in this dynasty, there are still people in the court who are in charge of unannounced visits. The Xian Wang used to manage this together with Liu Dengxi."

Su Zheng suddenly realized: "Eunuch Liu knows too many things!"

Lin Hai sighed: "It's not that he knows too much, it's because he is capable and loyal. To be honest, Dai Quan may not be as loyal as him. Those who are still alive in the court, except for Situ Pan, who is Do you know that Liu Dengxi is so important and must be killed?"

Su Zheng was silent for a long time, and sighed: "There is no one in the Tian family who would not want to sit on a chair. Besides, he is not self-reliant, and he is still afraid of the reputation behind him."

Lin Hai shook his head and said nothing more.

The old man fell ill the next day, and the illness lasted for more than a month.The doctor who came to treat him was obviously a military doctor, and he couldn't say anything other than seeing a doctor.When Lin Hai recovers from his illness, King Chen and Lu will have already left Beijing.Although Lin Hai's body was recovering, his mental state was much worse.Su Zheng then persuaded him to read poems and books to raise flowers and plants, and even wrote notes to ask the "Minister General" to send some flower pots; Lin Hai still sighed every day.The rest of the dozen or so elders also understood that King Xian had turned his back on him, and they became listless.

Some days later, one night, when all the adults had washed up and slept, someone knocked on the door of Lin Hai's house.

Lin Hai couldn't sleep well these days, so he asked, "Who is outside the door?"

Someone outside said: "Master Lin, please don't make a fuss, keep a low voice!"

Lin Hai frowned and said, "Who are you?"

There was a smile in the man's words: "The last general is a guide, some people want to see Mr. Lin, please don't shout."

Lin Hai had already climbed down from the kang, approved a piece of clothes, and said, "Could it be that kid Cong'er who came from the south?"

I only heard a very familiar voice complaining outside: "He is in Taiwan and I am in the capital, why do you only think of him and not me?"

Lin Hai immediately recognized Jia Huan, and scolded: "I knew it was you brats!" He said while going to open the door.

Under the moonlight, Jia Huan was wearing a moon-white Confucian scholar's robe and a Confucian scarf that he usually wears in the moonlight. He still looked like a child.

Jia Huan bowed to him first, then crept in.I saw the young general who robbed the prison that day stood outside and said: "You guys talk, I'll go first."

Jia Huan nodded: "Thank you, Brother Liu."

But light the candles.Although Lin Hai had already guessed that this place was arranged by them, he was eventually placed under house arrest for many days, and he felt a little bit of resentment in his heart.I haven't seen my relatives and disciples for many days, and I still miss them.Then he took Jia Huan over and looked at it carefully for a long time, then said, "Why are you getting thinner?"

Jia Huan hurriedly complained: "Uncle, they all hid in the south, I am the only one left in the capital, and there are a large group of careless elders and relatives at home. I am exhausted these days!"

Lin Hai suddenly remembered that he was only such a big idea, and the situation in Beijing was turbulent. He had to protect his family among many traitors and thieves, and he had to protect his own family and the Su family. It was really not easy.The unhappy idea just now disappeared immediately, and he sighed: "You are also really difficult."

Jia Huan nodded vigorously: "It's really very difficult. Fortunately, my father has caused a few troubles, and I happen to be a son!"

Lin Hai couldn't laugh or cry.Thinking of Jia Zheng's character and knowledge, he guessed it, he just shook his head, stroked his head and said, "It's because you're still a child." I also thought that the few of them could find a way to get this group of loyal officials out of the imperial edict. To be rescued from prison, and to break out of the turmoil in the current situation is a matter of time. Locking up the old men here; even though they are not allowed to move freely, it is considered that they have saved their lives and have not dragged down the family, which is extremely difficult.

Jia Huan saluted him again, as an apology to the old man.

The two sat down on the edge of the kang, and Jia Huan talked about the various chaos outside these days.Nai Dao: "Because we had some contacts with the Sixth Prince at the east end of our house, we got a very confidential letter. When King Xian was imprisoned by the Sixth Prince, some of the loyal and powerful subordinates of Prince Yizhong did not Knowing where the supernatural powers came from, I copied a large box of tiger charms, which are as good as the real ones, and gave them all to the princes, one for each."

Lin Hai was shocked: "Is this news reliable?"

Jia Huan said: "Reliable. Put it together with the truth, even the sixth prince who has been leading the army all year round can't tell the truth from the fake."

Lin Hai was in a hurry: "In this way, the generals leading the troops will not be able to tell the truth from the fake!"

Jia Huan said: "Even King Xian was not missed. I just don't know why Prince Zhongshun was missed. Could it be that there was something wrong between Prince Zhongshun and Prince Yizhong in the early years?"

Lin Hai thought about it: "I've never heard that the two of them are in trouble. Prince Zhongshun is a licentious and wanton man. He likes to make friends with people in the green forest. It's unknown if he offended Prince Yizhong."

In fact, it was Jia Cong and the others who suddenly remembered that they had been unhappy with Prince Zhongshun a few times, and they didn't want to give him a cheap price, so they temporarily made up an arrow book from the sixth prince's mansion, and troubled him not to give Prince Zhongshun a tiger talisman.The sixth prince has received such a great benefit from others, and Prince Yizhong is already dead, so what's the point of missing a tiger talisman?I didn't give it to him.

Jia Huan said again: "Therefore, I guess that after knowing this, the virtuous king completely lost his heart to support the saint, and gradually became self-reliant. The sixth prince probably also persuaded him with sweet words."

Lin Hai sighed, "He can't be moved by sweet words."

Jia Huan said: "It just awakened the thought in his heart. All the people, except those who have no eyes, can't see that the wise king is much better than the saint? In the past, it was just covered by other things. Then there is In recent years, the saint has become more and more suspicious. In order to protect himself, he doesn't care about everything, and even thinking about it, he feels very aggrieved. Uncle, I don't think there is anything wrong with the virtuous king. "

Lin Haidao: "A sage is a king after all, and he is a minister after all."

Jia Huan said helplessly, "After making trouble for half a day, I still have to go back there."

"What's up there?"

Jia Huan said: "In the dispute between Confucius and Mencius, the king is more important than the people."

Lin Haidao: "We are talking about ministers, not people."

Jia Huan spread his hands together: "It's the same. A minister is just a citizen who has received a salary."

Lin Hai glared at him and said, "Don't try to cheat!"

Jia Huan said: "Who has changed the position? Mr. Lin, tell yourself, the saint or the wise king, whoever becomes the emperor is better for the people and the officials. You don't need to pretend to be blind when everyone understands. Besides, why was the saint picked?" You always know when you sit on that chair, don't you?"

Lin Haidao: "Since he has been selected, he is the king. A minister can wear a crown and go back to seclusion, and he cannot be replaced."

Jia Huan curled his lips and said, "You are not the wise king. If he wears the crown and goes back to seclusion, he will surely die! Besides, he has not been replaced. Didn't he make his son? The sage did not make a prince."

Lin Haidao: "The sage intends to establish a second prince, and most civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty know about it."

Jia Huan said: "It's one thing to intend it, but it's another to make it happen. It can be abolished if it's established! Prince Yizhong has been the crown prince for decades."

Lin Hai was dumbfounded!After a pause for a long time, he waved his hand irritably.Ask again: "Where is this? Who is that general?"

Jia Huan waved his hands again and again: "I really can't tell you about this! It's such a mess outside, it's a great favor for someone to help you out and protect you, and I don't know how to repay you in the future. You live This yard was prepared for the daughter-in-law, and the bed nets and daily utensils were all paid for by me! It’s nothing to honor you and Mr. Su, the other adults are all honored, and I have to find an opportunity for them to thank me in the future .”

Lin Hai first listened to his refusal to speak, and wanted to force him to ask a few words; after hearing that, he couldn't help laughing: "Nonsense! These are the loyalty and goodness of a sage, what's the matter with buying some utensils for the adults?"

Jia Huan made a face.Seeing that Lin Hai still wanted to ask more questions, he hurriedly interrupted: "I'll tell you something quietly, but you must never tell anyone! Not even Mr. Su or Sister Lin."

Lin Hai hurriedly asked what was the matter.

Jia Huan ran outside and opened the door to look around for a while, then closed the door and came back, pulled Lin Hai and said in a low voice: "When Fang Xiong was running rampant in Beijing, Mrs. Xie Gui in the palace sent the Seventh Prince to our house in a roundabout way! "

Lin Hai was shocked: "What?!"

Jia Huan let out a "hush": "This matter is in the capital, except for Mrs. Xie Gui and she, probably the only one who knows about it, I wrote a letter to the south to tell my uncle, Cong'er and Brother Yao'er that I have nothing to do with the old lady. I don't know!"

Lin Hai hurriedly grabbed his hand and asked, "How is the Seventh Prince?"

Jia Huan said: "I don't dare to tell you too much. It's not because I'm afraid that you won't be able to keep the secret. It's just that one less person who knows will be more secure. The Seventh Prince has got proper people to take care of him, and the people who take care of him are not at all. I don't know that he is the prince. The current situation is really unpredictable. Anyway, it is not his turn to sit on the chair, so let's just leave it like this. In case something happens in the future, there will always be one left for the saint. Flesh and blood, our family can be regarded as worthy of this monarch and minister."

Lin Hai closed his eyes, his mind full of thoughts.It took a quarter of an hour before he opened his eyes and said: "There is only one day in the mountain, and a thousand years in the world. Huan'er, you are right. Don't tell others about this, and I won't ask too much. I have to give birth to the Seventh Prince. Bao Buqi really left a root for the saint."

Jia Huan nodded.He continued: "It's just that I have no choice but to hide my lords here these days. Now...that General Liu outside...well, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with you for long."

Lin Hai became more and more curious about who "Second Brother Liu" was, but Jia Huan had already said his words to death, so it was inconvenient to ask further.In fact, Jia Huan's words were just misleading the old man. They were not under house arrest, but in hiding.

"Sir, do you want to send you back to the capital? The virtuous king probably won't do anything to you. Or send it elsewhere? Back to your hometown? Why don't you go to Taiwan for a meeting? I heard that Sister Lin is very busy."

Lin Hai thought for a long time, and said: "I will discuss it with you adults for a few days. Your families are all in Beijing, and you must go back."

Jia Huan nodded, glanced at the moon again, and said: "It's inconvenient for me to stay for a long time. After the adults have discussed it, I just tell General Liu. I don't see Mr. Su today, and my uncle just said that General Liu came to look for you. say."

Lin Hai didn't know what kind of friendship General Liu had with them, nor what situation General Liu was in, so he had to agree.He said again: "He is not allowed to give us any more drugs!"

Jia Huan curled his lips: "I can't do this. I'll go and persuade him to try later. I don't know if it's worth it or not. He also took a huge risk to do this. The adults have enough A dozen or so, even if he can trust you, he may not trust others."

Lin Hai was helpless, so he told him a few more words, stroked his head and neck, and watched eagerly as Jia Huan opened the door on tiptoe, and slipped out like a thief, the whole figure gradually disappeared in the moonlight.For a while, I had a lot of thoughts in my mind, and before returning to the case, I wrote a rhythm "Long Song Under the Moon" with more than 500 words.
