The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

After Lin Daiyu was busy with important things in North America, she took her son and bid farewell to her husband and went back to Taiwan; Jarvis had to stay a little longer, and gradually handed over military affairs to Zhong Wei, Zhong Heng and his nephew.Due to the long distance and the uncertainty of the date of the ship, Lin Hai was not told about this matter at first.The old man suddenly saw his daughter coming back with his eldest grandson in his arms, and rubbed his eyes several times suspiciously.Lin Daiyu hugged the child and asked him to call "grandfather", and the child called out sweetly and tenderly.Tears welled up in Lin Hai's eyes, and he held his daughter and grandson in his arms.

The father and son had just cried three or four times, when the child shouted: "Mom~~I want to eat cake~~" abruptly blocked the tears of his mother and grandfather.Lin Hai hastily agreed.

Lin Daiyu said coquettishly, "Father, my daughter is also hungry." Lin Hai called for some snacks in a series of voices.So they couldn't cry anymore, but the two of them laughed together for a long time.

Lin Hai pinched his fingers and nodded again and again: "That old man Gong Sanyi's hexagram is not very accurate, but it's not bad." On the day when Lin Daiyu Jarvis went to fight overseas, Gong Sanyi had quietly told Lin Hai that the couple had few children. Then it will take more than three years or four years to come back.It has been more than four years now, and the daughter is back, but the son-in-law is not yet.It's just that he didn't know that Gong Sanyi was in such a mess in Zijing that even King Yan was no longer Situ Pan.

Sun Linqu, Lin’s parent, is just over two years old. He has just learned to speak and is still not good at speaking. It is the most fun time.Lin Hai hugged his grandson so happily that he didn't want to care about everything. He only played with him all day long, and he didn't do much official work.At that time, Jia Cong, Gong Kun and others had all gone north, and Jia Xu was in charge of the Taiwan government.He had no choice but to discuss with Lin Daiyu: "Master Lin wants to play tricks on grandchildren, it's nothing. Anyway, you have to go back to Beijing. Naturally, your whole family will go together. It's just that the old man's work should be handed over in time?" Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled.

Back home, Lin Hai took his grandson to build blocks again.Lin Daiyu tugged at her father: "Father, I have something to tell you."

Lin Hai didn't even look at her: "Say it."

"When I was in Rongguo Mansion in the early years, Cong'er once told me that he would worship me as a prime minister in the future. I agreed."

Lin Hai stared at his grandson and said "oh".Immediately realizing something was wrong, he turned his head: "What?"

"Cong'er said that he would ask me to be his prime minister, and I agreed." Lin Daiyu thought for a while, "It's been too long and I can't remember clearly, was he probably four or five years old at that time? Anyway, I agreed." She smiled. "Father, it's time for us to go back to Beijing." Seeing that his grandparents ignored him, Lin Qu yelled for attention.Daiyu had no choice but to help him build building blocks while talking, and gave a rough idea of ​​what happened in Beijing.

After hearing this, Lin Hai immediately said: "Gong Sanyi can't figure out the future, I'm afraid he made a plan when you left. He has been away from Hong Kong for more than two years."

Lin Daiyu smiled bitterly and said, "Not only that. I only found out today that even the King of Yan ordered Qu'er to be the companion of the king's grandson. He made arrangements for it. I was angry for several days because of this, and I still planned to come back to work with Cong. The son's discussion turned against him. Who knew that it was just a move in the old man's game. He just wanted to use the situation to spread rumors and scare the third son of King Yan into doing Xuanwumen. This old gentleman knows the children of the Tian family well. Personality. I followed Prince Yizhong in the past, and now I am helping Cong'er. I have fought against King Yan for a lifetime. After all, he won." Lin Hai hurriedly asked what happened.

At this time, Feng Ziying and her two sons were locked in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, just waiting for how to die; Jia Cong, Gong Kun, more than a dozen important figures from the Taiwan government, and [-] elite soldiers were all on their way to the capital, and the general situation was set.So there is no need to hide it from Lin Hai anymore.Dai Yunai explained Gong Sanyi's plan of cheating the sky and crossing the sea and leading the wind to blow the fire. "This is what Uncle Fifth told me just now, and it is not exhaustive. After returning to Beijing, ask Mr. Gong himself in detail."

After hearing this, Lin Hai thought for a long time. If he was Situ Pan's counselor, he didn't know how to break the plan, and he probably wouldn't be able to detect that someone was playing tricks inside.Nai Chang sighed: "Every step counts people's hearts."

Lin Daiyu said leisurely: "The children of the Tian family have their own ghosts, and the courtiers are also trembling for fear that they will follow the wrong master, and if they fail to defend the family with one move, they will be executed. If it hadn't been for the failure of following the successor, how could Sun Shaozu be so afraid that he would really vote for that old man?" Three? He just thought that he was doomed to die and was desperate to survive. After all, it was too ruthless for the Supreme Emperor to liquidate Prince Yizhong's remnant party back then."

"If he doesn't settle the case so ruthlessly, he won't be able to sit still. Prince Yizhong has been the prince for decades, and he has too many party members. Why don't you keep Gong Sanyi now?" Lin Hai thought for a while and said "There is also Feng Ziying. Without his help, Gong Sanyi would not be able to easily transfer the Imperial Forest Army all over the capital. It is easy to reveal his secrets simply by forging the secret order of the Tiger Talisman. .”

Lin Daiyu smiled sweetly: "He is about to be killed in half." Lin Hai opened his mouth to say something, but swallowed it again.After a long time, I sighed quietly, feeling uneasy.

Later, Lin Hai began to hand over the work to his deputy, and Lin Daiyu thought about how to deal with the affairs of the court after returning to Beijing.He also sent a telegram to the capital, asking Jia Huan to quietly arrange for people to clean and repair the Lin family's house.Jia Huan called back: Over the years, someone has been guarding, cleaning and repairing the house. The house is exactly the same as when Sister Lin left Beijing, and she moved in with her bags.Lin Daiyu smiled.After Lin Hai finished his work, he packed his bags and drove northward.Jia Amnesty will also go to Beijing with them, and Jia Lian will stay in Taiwan first.Lin Daiyu took her two elders and one child with her, so she walked more slowly on the road.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, and the bustling outside Rongguo Mansion was filled with gift givers.Jia Zheng was terrified and refused to see any of them.Jia Lan got the orders from his uncles, and came out with a smile to take charge of the business—everyone who came was accepted as soon as he saw the ceremony.In the afternoon, a doorman rushed into the Rongxi Hall and replied, "Master, Third Master Cong is back."

Jia Zheng said, "Don't let him in."

Menzi said sadly: "The slaves dare not... and he and Mr. Zhan have already entered the mansion."

Jia Zheng frowned: "Master Zhan."

"The person in front said that it is a new high official appointed by the sage a few days ago, Pingzhang political affairs and grand master, Mr. Zhan Kun. The servant looks familiar."

"Saint? Which saint?"

Menzi was stunned: "I don't know... probably the saint from the Forbidden City?"

Jia Zheng thought about it, now Jia Cong has an unknown number of firearms in his hands, and he has transported artillery to Beijing without anyone noticing.If you can hold the king of Yan, you must also be able to hold the emperor.Nai closed his eyes for a long time, and said dejectedly: "I just say that I am not feeling well, and I don't see them." Then he slammed the door and went out.

Now that the Zhan family has nothing to fear, both the father and father changed their surnames back, and Gong San also returned to his real name Zhan Feng.Jia Cong and Zhan Kun have been busy for a month, and just got some time to go back home. They sent someone back on a fast horse and told Jia Huan, Baoyu and others.The two brothers led Jia Lan to wait in the southward hall ahead.Jia Huan had already been to Yan Wang's residence many times, but Baoyu Jialan met the two of them for the first time in these few years.When they looked at each other suddenly, they felt a sense of vicissitudes.

Jia Cong smiled and waved: "Hi everyone." Jia Baoyu couldn't help laughing.

Jia Huan looked him up and down for a long time, and said to Jia Lan, "What did I say? It's no different if this guy becomes the regent."

Everyone laughed, walked side by side, and went straight into the Rongxi Hall, feeling a bit like returning home.Jia Cong looked up at the red gold nine-dragon and green plaque with his hands behind his back for a long time, and then stretched out his hand to make a gesture: "Hello Rongxitang, I, Jia Cong, are back again."

But he turned around and went to see Jia Zheng.Jia Zheng sat in the room bored, and the servant outside stepped forward and said that the second master was not feeling well.Jia Cong sneered, and turned back to order the guards who had brought him: "Kick the door open." Jia Baoyu was about to speak out to stop him, but the guard had already kicked open the door, and Jia Cong led the people into the room swaggeringly.

Jia Zheng stood in front of the kang table with his hands behind his back, heard the noises outside clearly, turned around and said coldly: "The regent is so arrogant."

"It's good for the second master to know." Jia Cong walked straight to him, "I just came to tell the second master. Beijing has been pacified, and my father is going back to Beijing. The second master should move out from Rongxi Hall. "

Jia Zheng was furious and scolded, "You ignorant bastard..."

Jia Baoyu shouted urgently: "Where do you want the master to move?"

"How do I know?" Jia Cong spread his hands, "This is the Rongguo Mansion, and my father is the Duke of Rongguo. In the past, my second uncle didn't dare to live in the main house when he lived here? Isn't this the East Corridor? Or move to the Xianguo Mansion next door." OK. Send someone to clean up, it’s not bad.”

Baoyu was stunned: "Where is the mansion of Xianguo?"

Jia Huan laughed twice from behind.Jia Cong turned his head, and the two brothers looked at each other and smiled.When he was young, Jia Huan and a group of brothers urged Jia Cong to rebel, saying that he wanted to be a virtuous king.Jia Cong took out an object from his bosom and tossed it casually. The object passed over Jia Baoyu's head and landed firmly in Jia Huan's hand.Jia Huan opened it and looked at it, and said, "Is this the real imperial decree?"

"Could it be fake?" Jia Cong said, "It's covered with a jade seal, and the words are also written by the little sage."

Jia Baoyu hurriedly asked, "Huan'er, what is it?"

"Imperial decree." Jia Huan read, "Following the heavens, the emperor said. Jia's son Huan, loyal and kind, talented and learned, has made great contributions to the community. Hereby grant you the title of a virtuous country—how can it be written so simply? Can't come How about a few parallel essays?"

Jia Cong said: "It's just a meaning, just write whatever you want."

"This little sage's handwriting is not bad." Jia Huan handed the imperial decree to Baoyu, and walked up to Jia Zheng from behind.

Jia Zhengfang only yelled a word, because Baoyu asked, "Where is the master moving?" He also wanted to know, so he didn't say anything more.At this moment, there are already seven or eight kinds of expressions on his face, and dozens of thoughts are turning around inside, and he doesn't know what to say for a while.It was Jia Huan who asked first, "Master, do you want to follow me to the East Mansion?"

Jia Zheng hesitated for a moment, went over Jia Huan to look at Jia Cong, and asked, "Why doesn't Baoyu have a noble?"

Jia Cong said: "He has been writing articles in the mansion, but he has never made any achievements. How can he be knighted for no reason?"

"What achievements does Huan'er have?"

Jia Cong curled his lips: "I really can't tell you this. Hmm...I think about what I can say."

Jia Huan himself said: "More than ten years ago, the four generals disrupted the capital, and I managed to deliver meals to the emperor, empress, prince, grandson, and court officials. Let's forget it."

Jia Cong glanced at him: "That's a good idea! You still remember the big shit."

Jia Huan spread his hands: "It's nothing that I can tell my father."

"Okay, that's fine. Then if you marry a princess, it's probably okay." Jia Cong turned to look at Jia Zheng, "It's always inconvenient for you to live in this mansion anymore. Brother Huan is in the East Mansion, and he I'm in the West Mansion, so it doesn't make sense. Or follow Brother Baoyu. He has earned a lot of manuscript fees over the years, and he is considered a rich man. He can buy a house nearby..." He thought for a while, "Or, the Imperial Academy?"

Jia Baoyu waved his hands again and again: "No need. My temperament is not suitable for being an official."

"Well, you can figure it out yourself."

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Cong for a long time with complicated eyes.Jia Cong was helpless: "You can say whatever you want. No matter how you say it, you are my uncle and Brother Huan's father. Although we both feel wronged by you."

Jia Zheng let out a long sigh: "You have really become a minister of power. Do you know that since ancient times, ministers of power have never come to a good end."

Jia Cong was surprised: "Second uncle, do you know this?"

Jia Zheng frowned: "How could I not know?"

Jia Cong crossed his hands and said: "Then you should also know that since ancient times, relatives have not come to a good end. Why did you still want to send your eldest sister into the palace? Didn't you just want to follow the path of being a concubine, giving birth to a prince, setting up a prince, and relatives who have power over the world?" Zhan Kun was still outside the house at this moment, so he couldn't help poking his head when he heard the words.

Jia Zheng's face froze: "Who said that after giving birth to a prince, you have to be a prince?"

Jia Cong curled his lips: "It turns out that you don't even have such ambitions. Well, I think I'm overthinking. Anyway, don't worry, it's different now. Oh, how many times have I said this sentence when I was young."

Jia Zheng choked for a moment, and said again: "You are a child, can you possibly hold the court?"

"Yes." Jia Cong said, "Mr. Zhan, Brother Feng and Mr. Luo are here now. Sister Lin and Uncle Lin will arrive in Beijing soon, and they will help me."

Jia Zheng sighed again, and said earnestly: "These are not going to convince the public. The world's talk of Youyou is all in Shilin. Those adults at the Yushitai of the Imperial Academy, who will let you go. You still want to use Miss Lin as your prime minister! She Even if she has made several strategies and fought several battles abroad, she is still a girl, who in the court will obey her?"

"Oh, I just missed one of the most important people." Jia Cong said seriously, "Brother Yao'er is coming back too, and he will bring the North American army over. The North American army is full of respect for Sister Lin. Among the generals In front of swords and guns, the pen and ink of the literati are useless. What is the Yushitai of the Imperial Academy, resign if you want to resign, or don’t do it if you don’t want to. The Taiwan government has cultivated a large number of talents over the years, just use them. What do I do with such a useless thing?"

"What about people's hearts?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "The common people don't care who is the emperor at all, let alone whether the prime minister is a man or a woman? I can guarantee that they can earn money and live a good life." Jia Zheng wanted to talk, but Jia Cong rushed to say, "There Let's say hello to my second uncle first. The third sister will return to Beijing after handing over the affairs of the Taiwan government."

There has always been a rumor in Beijing that Taiwan Island is barren and has no talents, and several sisters in the Rongguo Mansion helped the prefect Jia Lian as a minor official.Tanchun married a petty official whose position was lower than hers, and Jia Zheng was depressed for a long time when he was trusted.Hearing this, he immediately asked, "What official title do you want to give Sanya's husband-in-law?"

Jia Cong said: "When the third brother-in-law was in Taiwan, he first served as the secretary of the third sister, and then became her assistant to the minister. Therefore, I want to ask the third brother-in-law to be the servant of the household department."

Jia Zheng didn't understand what a secretary was at all. He was satisfied with the official title of Minister of the Household Department, so he stroked his beard and said, "It's just that he has never taken an imperial examination, so it may not be appropriate for him to suddenly become a second-rank official."

"What's wrong?" Jia Cong said, "Third sisters are going to be Minister of the Household Department."

Jia Zheng was startled: "What did you say?"

"Third Sister is going to be Minister of the Household Department." Jia Cong said again.

"You!" Jia Zheng pointed at him, "Nonsense!"

Jia Cong spread his hands: "Let's make a fuss. I rebelled."

Zhan Kun chuckled outside, walked in and bowed to Jia Zheng: "My lord father-in-law."

Jia Huan explained from the side: "The eldest brother-in-law's surname is Zhan, and the grandfather of the family is the former prince's Taibao Lord Zhan Feng."

Jia Zheng was shocked: "Master Zhan, the first prince and eunuch?!" Zhan Kun nodded with a smile.Only then did Jia Zheng understand that the "Mr. Zhan Kun, Pingzhang's political affairs and grand master" mentioned by Menzi just now was this eldest son-in-law.It is obvious that once Jia Cong became the regent, the brothers and brothers-in-law all ascended to heaven.It's just that he didn't think of his uncle at all!Can't help feeling irritable and depressed.Instead, the idea of ​​panic these days was washed away.
