The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

But it is said that Jia Cong visited Xie Jing, the general of Jiangxi, and returned to the inn, and asked Lin Hai for An Shun to wink at Lin Daiyu Jarvis and others.But Lin Hai saw it, looked at him and said, "What the hell are you flirting with each other?"

Jia Cong said honestly: "I'm looking for some brothers and sisters to discuss some important matters."

"Why are you behind my back for important things?"

Jia Cong said: "Your old man is too decent, we have to discuss some unsightly things."

Lin Hai couldn't help but laugh: "How old are you? I have been teaching salt for more than ten years, and I haven't seen anything."

Jia Cong muttered, "It's more upright than us anyway." He also knew that he couldn't persuade the old man if he didn't shake something, so he said, "It's just that everyone has studied the bandits in Jiangxi for a while. According to some The clues are probably the secret son of King Yan Situ Pan."

Lin Hai was shocked: "Aren't the Jiangxi bandits the remnants of Xu Hong?"

Jia Cong nodded and said, "That's right. However, Xu Hong died strangely, and one of Xu Hong's staff members named Wan Zhang is extremely suspicious, and he has the temperament of Situ Pan's subordinates."

“How come you see?”

Jia Cong said: "It was very strange that he was arrested and released in Jiangxi that day. It was roughly a play for the court to watch, but in fact he secretly took away many troops in Jiangxi under the guise of Xu's inner gang." The analysis of the situation in Jiangxi has been explained.

Lin Hai stroked his beard and thought for a long time, then said: "In this way, ever since there was a rift between him and the Supreme Emperor, he has planned to protect himself."

"Isn't it?" Jia Cong shrugged, "I just don't know whether that Wan Zhang was sent here after he knew Xu Hong was rebellious, or he was Xu Hong's aide and he came here temporarily to subdue him." He talked about today's meeting with Xie Jing. "Back then, Situ Pan definitely wouldn't subdue Xie Jing for the Supreme Emperor. It's just that the Seventh Prince was still young at that time, and the Xie family would be very happy to form an alliance with Situ Pan. The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Later, they sent the Seventh Prince into our mansion around the bend, which is obvious. I can't trust Situ Pan anymore. Xie Jing is a cover in Jiangxi, used to cover up Wan Zhang and others, so that the kings don't know that King Yan has hidden troops in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River. Moreover, I don't know how many of Xu Hong's descendants are left Holds the military power."

Lin Hai glanced at him: "When the imperial soldiers suppressed Xu Hong, you already knew that Situ Pan had rebellious intentions?"

Jia Cong said: "Sir, he is protecting himself. Besides, isn't it better for you to have friendship with him than with the Supreme Emperor? I don't think there is anything wrong."

Lin Hai looked at him one by one for half a day, and suddenly said: "The soldiers who robbed us from the imperial prison that day, I'm afraid it was not General Liu who was invited to help, but the private soldiers of the Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Cong was startled: "Huh?"

Lin Hai asked: "Who was that who knocked me out halfway?"

Jia Cong and Jarvis exchanged glances, but before they could speak, Lin Daiyu said, "What's the matter with the prison?"

Er Jia's complexion changed, Jarvis turned his head to look at the window, Jia Cong covered his face and said, "It's been a long time, sister don't ask." he.Reluctantly, he turned his head and said to Lin Hai, "Uncle, tell yourself. I didn't put myself in jail anyway."

Lin Hai coughed and said, "Yu'er, since it's an old story, there's no need to mention it."

Daiyu said calmly: "Since it's an old story, it's good to be joking." She turned her eyes to Jarvis.

Jarvis was honest, so he lowered his head and explained how Liu Tong took Lin Hai, Su Zheng and other adults to prison, and how Jia Cong and others designed to deceive the patrolling soldiers and jailers to save people.Daiyu gritted her teeth and shed tears, and clenched her fists tightly, secretly remembering Shandong Liu Tong in her heart.Jarvis finally said: "Because Mr. knows Gao Mang..."

Lin Hai nodded and said, "So it was him. Su Zheng also recognized him, why didn't he knock him out?"

Jia Cong said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Su has only seen him once, and he was fighting again at night, so I can't tell him apart. My uncle is different. You are always the elder of your brother-in-law. You have seen him many times and said A lot of words."

Lin Hai glared at him.After a while, he said again: "Since this is the case, it must be that General Liu and his men really belong to the Rongguo Mansion?"

"Ah."

"The people brought by Yu'er must not be from Taiwan, but from Rongguo."

"Ah."

Lin Hai couldn't help closing his eyes, shaking his body.Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and persuaded softly: "Father, Cong'er and the others are also doing it to protect themselves."

Two lines of tears fell from the corners of Lin Hai's eyes, and it took him a long time to say: "All the ministers are recruiting soldiers privately, without the law of the king, and claiming to protect themselves."

Jia Cong muttered, "Is it really for self-protection... The previous emperor was the Supreme Emperor, I can't trust him." After a while, he said, "I can't trust him since he asked you to return to Suzhou as bait that year."

Lin Hai waved his hand: "If you want to protect yourself, don't others want to? If you are afraid that the emperor will be suspicious, you should show your loyalty by cutting your heart."

Jia Cong muttered again: "My grandfather came here to show his loyalty, and then he died of aggrieved."

"You!" Lin Hai was in a hurry, and held back for a long time before saying, "That's the old emperor who was confused!"

Jia Cong said: "Sir, which one is more wise, the late Emperor or the Supreme Emperor?"

Lin Hai was dumbfounded.After waiting for a long time, no one in the room dared to say anything, Lin Hai finally pointed at Jia Cong and said, "...You really have no one in your eyes."

Jia Cong thought for a while, and came up with a sentence: "The people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least."

Lin Hai shook his head and said: "The king is the master, and the minister is the assistant. The king is for the people, and the minister is for the king. How can the minister not do his best to be loyal and protect himself first? How can the country not be chaotic? Today, the world is torn apart. That's why all the kings support their troops and stand on their own."

Jia Cong argued: "Don't you always stand on the emperor's side and think about problems? Now let's just talk about Situ Pan, who you are familiar with. His ability, courage, vision, and the things he helped the Supreme Emperor in the past, the Supreme Emperor unexpectedly Doubt him. If he doesn’t protect himself, is he waiting to die? If the first emperor chose him as the crown prince, or the former Yizhong prince, there would be no chaos today. Sir, whether it is a prince, general, or powerful minister, they are all human beings. Ants If you steal your life, let alone human beings? When a ruler wants his ministers to die, some ministers will slip away, and some ministers will die; those who stretch their necks and hand over the lives of the whole family and have to die are mostly incompetent."

Lin Hai made him choke for a long time, waved his hands and said, "It's all nonsense."

Jia Cong sighed: "It's clearly the truth. If a good minister wants to assist the emperor, the emperor must listen to him. Even if he is not a wise emperor, it is fine if he is a mediocre emperor who will not be suspicious casually. When a foolish emperor is in power, a good minister will do good for the emperor. Official; if you show your skills, you will make great achievements and wait for death. If you don’t show your skills, you are nothing more than a hermit in the court. It's useless everywhere, and the tyranny is fiercer than the tiger. Sir, there is no way to save the country, and the common people don't want to live, just wait for the country to perish."

Lin Hai waved his hands repeatedly and stopped talking.A few juniors accompanied silently.After a long time, Lin Hai said: "You all go out, I will be quiet for a while." The younger ones hurriedly slipped out one by one obediently.

Out of the door, Lin Daiyu leaned on the door and sighed: "My father knows all these truths."

Jia Cong said loudly: "Uncle is a great Confucian, and there are many things that he can't get around. According to him, he should try his best to assist the emperor first. If he can't do it, he can think of a way to protect himself. And self-protection should be self-defiled first."

Daiyu shook her head and said, "That's not the point. It's the king's honor and the minister's lightness."

"That's right!" Jia Cong clapped his hands vigorously, "The king is noble and the minister is light. The minister should first find a way to make himself wronged and move the king. If he can't be moved or the grievances are enough, then he can think about quitting. He must not I want to protect myself as a mercenary. Sister, it’s not that the nobles and ministers are inferior, but the nobles and ministers are inferior. This is too difficult to do, and I can’t. I will serve as an official for the court, and the court will give me a salary; I don’t want to Done, resign and leave. The emperor is my master, not my master."

Lin Hai pushed open the door suddenly: "Since this is the case, if one day you get the capital, why don't you want to open a new shop opposite the owner's shop, or even swallow his shop?"

Jia Cong said slowly, "I'll be tired...but it's possible. Maybe in a few years I won't be as lazy as I am now."

"You..." Lin Hai pointed at him for a long time, "You are rebellious!"

Jia Cong drooped the corner of his mouth and said, "I guess there is. It's not loyal anyway."

Lin Hai was stunned as if he had been hit with a stick.

Jia Cong said again: "Sir, if you don't have slavishness, you have rebellion. Well, I was born with it. I am not a slave of the Situ family, but I am only willing to be their servant. Don't forget, sir, a slave is not a human being in front of the master. A slave can’t disobey his master. In fact, Mr. himself is not servile, but you have read the sage books for half your life and deceived yourself to be servile all the year round. Sister Lin in front of you is the proof. If you were servile, you would have put Lin My sister has been sent to the palace, how can she be allowed to escape?" After a pause, he added, "I said, should I prepare a way to escape just in case, why don't you call me back immediately and let me go Shall we go..."

Jarvis kicked him.

Jia Cong made a grimace: "The disciple slipped away first, sir, think about it slowly, the emperor's family bullies you, are you willing to suffer honestly all the time?" After saying that, he ran away.

Lin Daiyu just now heard that her father was in a hurry to let her prepare to run away, and her heart was warm, she hurried forward to help her father, and shook Lin Hai's arm with a smile: "Dad, he is just a child , full of gibberish."

Lin Hai shook his head and said, "You all go." Pushing away his daughter's hand, he slowly moved into the room by himself, sitting like a clay sculpture.Daiyu and others watched him outside for a long time, and when they saw him motionless, they closed the door.

Just about to go back to their rooms, Jia Cong came back again, gesturing not far away, and then they all followed him into his room on tiptoe.Jia Cong beckoned his brothers and sisters into the house, and heaved a sigh of relief: "The old man will be fine after a while."

Daiyu complained: "It's enough to fool him for a while, but you still have so many things to talk about. Can't you go back to Taiwan and say these things?" Zhang Mu looked at it, and it was as good as Zhou Camellia, the embroiderer girl invited in Suzhou. exist.

Jia Cong scratched his head: "I couldn't hold it back for a while." Nai looked at it and nodded, "You didn't hear about my meeting with Xie Jing today." Then he told her something important again.

Qi Dianqi asked: "What does the third master want to do in Jinggangshan?"

"I just came to the general's mansion today, and I suddenly had an idea. Could the accident of history be inevitable?"

Others couldn't understand, and Jia Cong didn't know what to say for a while.He thought, Grandpa Mao is a great man, since he chose Jinggangshan and led the Red Army to fight against it five times, the terrain of Jinggangshan must be the easiest to defend and difficult to attack in Jiangxi.But among the people Situ Pan stayed in Jiangxi, this man named Wan Zhang should be the leader, and he happened to be entrenched in Jinggangshan.As early as when everyone was discussing matters, the three masters and apprentices Gong Kun suspected that if the Supreme Emperor Situ Wan had not died, he would probably be imprisoned somewhere in Jiangxi.

I really couldn’t explain the above words to the group of ancient people in front of me, so I had to smile wryly: “I don’t know how to explain it. At first I just wanted to go to see that mountain.” up. "Because...the mountain is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a leader like Wan Zhang guarding it, so I wonder...whether brother Huan's old father-in-law is also there?"

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

Jia Cong looked around and said, "You... none of you are going to save him, right?" As he spoke, he moved his eyes to Zhou Camellia.

Zhou Camellia waved her hand and said, "Master Quan is kind to me."

Started up and said: "He is not my father-in-law."

Jarvis said, "It's not my father-in-law either."

Cheng Chi said, "It's not my father-in-law either."

Finally Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "It's not my father-in-law either, Huan'er wants to save someone and saves herself."

"Okay." Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "I'm not my father-in-law anyway. I was thinking about trying to fight a dozen Jinggang Mountains to train soldiers. Since Situ Hao might be there, I don't want to fight. If not Be careful to rescue him, there is really no place to put him."

Everyone said "yes" and "yes".Jia Cong was about to move on to the next topic when the door opened with a "bang".Everyone turned their heads and looked over, Lin Hai's face was as pale as paper, trembling all over.

Jia Cong was frightened, so he ran over to support him: "Uncle! Don't scare me! That...it's just a guess...he may not be there." Seeing Lin Hai's complexion getting worse, he hurriedly said, "Well... If you always want to save him, why don't we try to save him? But we have only 1000 troops, and the generals who can lead the army are all young, and the military adviser is still a woman..."

Lin Hai suddenly shook off his arm and walked out. The old man walked very fast, like the wind.Jia Cong and others hurriedly chased after him, and the old man disappeared around the corner of the inn!This group of people was terrified, and scattered in all directions to search all over the city.After searching for a long time, I still can't find anyone.

Daiyu burst into tears, and Jarvis said, "Can I go to thank you for your help?"

Daiyu choked up and said, "No! Don't disturb him yet. Brother Yang is a local, and he has followed my father for many years to get familiar with his old man's temperament. Please invite him back first." Jia Cong immediately ran out to pull the horse and left after hearing this.

Yang Song's house is remote, and Jia Cong only knew the name of the place, and he searched for half a day before finding it.Seeing that the house is not small!Secretly surprised.Yang Heng was so embarrassing in Beijing back then, he thought the Yang family was very poor.Nai knocked on the door for a long time, shouting at the top of his voice, "Is Brother Yang at home?"

It took a long time to see Yang Song slowly coming out to open the door.When he saw him, he was shocked: "Third Master, has something happened to your lord?"

"Yeah!" Jia Cong said with a bitter face, "The old man ran away from home!"
