The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that when Liu Shu arrived at the Rongguo Mansion one day, the soldiers who sent him passed the film inside, and Liu Shu stood in front of the gate of the beast head in a daze.At a moment, the door came out and said: "The prince will come as soon as he says, please invite Mr. Liu to sit in Qiluzhai."

So he went in with the guide.The main courtyard is huge, and Liu Shu was secretly startled: I knew that the mansion of Duke Zhong in Beijing was not comparable to that of ordinary people, but I never thought that a mere courtyard could be as big as a martial arts arena.After entering the gate of Yi, Liu Shu saw a row of big houses ahead, and asked, "Is this the main hall?"

The guide said: "This is a hall, separated by the Neiyi Gate, and the inside of the Neiyi Gate is the main hall." Then he led Liu Shu to the west.There is a Nuan Pavilion to the west, and an octagonal door is opened in front of the Nuan Pavilion.Passing through the cave gate, one enters the courtyard. There is a plaque on the door of the main room in the courtyard. Liu Shu can recognize the two characters "Qi" and "Zhai" before and after, but he can't recognize the character in the middle.He thought of the school "Qiluzhai" just now, presumably the word was pronounced "thread", but he didn't know what it meant.

After sitting inside for a while, someone shouted outside, "The prince is here."Then he saw Jia Cong lift the curtain and walk in, wearing western-style clothes, holding a paper bag in his arms, looking a little weird.Seeing Liu Shu sizing him up hard, Jia Cong straightened his back and said, "Not bad! I seldom wear a suit on weekdays."

Liu Shu frowned and said, "It doesn't look ugly, it's just awkward."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "What aesthetics! The suit fits your figure very well." Then he put down the paper bag and sat down across the tea table with Liu Shu, beckoning, "Welcome to join."

Liu Shu looked at him for a long time and said, "This word sounds like a bandit."

"Basically, they are all rebellions." Jia Cong said, "The main reason for letting you come to the capital is that if you join the team, you must be trained first, otherwise you don't know what we are going to do. There are also some things from the past. say clearly."

Liu Shu was stunned, and smiled wryly, "You don't even bother to say polite words."

"Oh, well, let's say something polite." Jia Cong coughed twice, and said seriously, "Mr. Liu Shu, welcome to join our team."

Liu Shu sighed, sat blankly for a while and said, "I never dreamed of it back then."

Jia Cong said: "Your first impression of me is too deep. Subconsciously, I always feel that I am the son of a merchant. And the sons of officials usually look down on merchants. In fact, I am also a son of generals just like you. My grandfather has made great achievements in war. You have to admit."

Liu Shu immediately said: "I admit, it is better than our family."

"I didn't start from scratch to become what I am today." Jia Cong said, "There are so many things I have inherited along the way, and I have lost at least 60 years of struggle. For example, after the death of Prince Xianyizhong, the rest of his troops are all elites—a little Those who were not so elite were wiped out by the court." Jia Cong paused.Liu Shu was stunned for a moment, but said nothing.Jia Cong went on to say, "These people are divided into two groups. One group is lurking in the capital, responsible for finding ways to avenge the lord; the other group, headed by the two brothers Beringyi and Beringen, is responsible for serving the only orphan of Prince Yizhong, Princess Yazhi. Those two brothers After winning Hong Kong, the financial resources have increased greatly, so I am not satisfied with being a local rich man." He stopped talking.

Liu Shu straightened his back unknowingly: "Why are you telling me this with white eyebrows and red eyes?"

Jia Cong turned the paper bag over.At first, the thing was empty with the back facing up; when it was turned over, three red letters could be seen printed on the front: the file bag, and the Arabic numerals printed with a blue seal.Jia Cong took out a whole stack of files from inside, first handed the top few sheets of paper to Liu Shu, pointed to the upper right corner and said: "This is called a paper clip, and it is used to attach files."

This stack of documents is obviously a message from a secret agent to the lord, and what is written in it is the female secret writer sent by the state of Lu to various countries.Liu Shu said: "Aunt Su Ni made this for my father back then."

Jia Cong said: "This stack is all sorted out from the confidential files of the Bai family in Hong Kong." Liu Shu knew who owns Hong Kong now, so he glanced at him.

Jia Cong took out another letter and handed it to him.Liu Shu opened it and looked, it was actually an order, the boss asked the person who received the letter to hook up with a female agent of the State of Lu in Gao's house in Ping'an Prefecture, pretending to be infatuated, and return to the State of Lu together with the agent.Liu Shu thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Tu."

Jia Cong nodded: "When we first met, I once said that no matter who Zhao Tu and Mrs. Ma turn to, it may damage the career of the lord. Mrs. Ma is an extremely honest woman. She wants a handsome young man, and she wants to be rich and honored." Also. Your father could only be satisfied with the latter, so she had an affair with Zhao Tu. After the incident was revealed, she followed Zhao Tu back to Hong Kong. Although Zhao Tu is an important minister of the Bai family, he is a minister after all. The family hooked up two masters, one in each of the two houses - after all, she didn't know which house would win. Of course, even without her, the two houses of the Bai family would have to fight each other sooner or later. Ma Shi is like a catalyst, making the Bai family The fight started earlier and more violently. The Bai family fell apart. Everything that Prince Xianyizhong left behind fell into the hands of those who were in charge of avenging the master. Their leader is my master Zhan Qiao."

Liu Shu was startled for a moment, narrowed his eyes and said, "You picked it up cheaply... You knew he was from the Bai family back then, right?"

"Yes." Jia Cong said, "Otherwise, why do you think I happened to appear in Lu State? I went to help the two of them escape, so that they could harm the Bai family." Liu Shu rolled his eyes.

Jia Cong calmly handed him a letter.Liu Shu only read a few lines of writing and then burst into tears, his face as cold as frost.

Jia Cong hurriedly said, "Don't get excited! Didn't you all know that Liu Qian was Zhao Tu's classmate from the very beginning?"

Liu Shu clenched his fists for a long time, looked at Jia Cong and said coldly, "Where's Zhu Tong?"

"Zhu Tong, like Zhao Tu, is the direct descendant of Prince Yizhong. Because Zhao Tu's power in the Lu Kingdom was growing, Bai Lingyi sent Liu Qian to help. After Zhao Tu had something happen, he had no choice but to send Zhu Tong to make up for him. Missing." Jia Cong spread his hands, "Unfortunately, they are all meticulous."

Liu Shu slammed the coffee table hard, gritted his teeth. "My father and son are confidant to them and obey their advice!" He hecked twice, "I have fed my heart to the dogs!"

"You really don't blame them for this matter. Each is their own master." Jia Cong handed him the remaining files in his hand, "These are all found from the Bai family in Hong Kong. You will understand after reading it, your family lost If there is no injustice, even if there is no Bai family, it will fall into the hands of other families. Your father is really not the master material."

Liu Shu slowly sat back on the chair, picked up the file and put it down again, finally shook his head and said, "I have to take my time."

Jia Cong nodded, "I'll arrange a place for you." Nai stood up.

Liu Shu suddenly asked, "Where's Zhu Tongren?"

"Go back to my hometown."

Liu Shu sneered at the corner of his mouth: "I remember he is from Chang'an?"

"Correct."

Jia Cong left.Liu Shu sat and looked at the stack of files carefully.It turned out that more than a dozen vassal states had made plans for the Lu State, and Zhao Tu, Zhu Tong and others were aware of the clues.The Bai family sent another person to investigate, and then cleaned up one by one.Aside from other things, the beauties in Liu Tong's backyard alone are meticulously crafted, let alone the servants in Liu Tong's residence.Most of the Korean and Chinese soldiers were sent by other families.In contrast, there are not many people in the Bai family in Hong Kong.The King of Yan sent more than 30 Juren successively, but they lost to Zhu Tong's talent and none of them were reused.What's more, Zhu Tong also married Liu Tong's daughter, and they were very affectionate.After watching it, Liu Shu covered his scroll and sat blankly.During the years when the world was divided into feudal states, the State of Lu has always been the prey of the kings.

For a while, Jia Cong arranged the guest room for him and returned to Qiluzhai.Liu Shu had slowed down a lot, and asked wearily, "Show me what this is for."

Jia Cong said: "I hope you can understand Zhu Tong. After all, you are now revolutionary comrades."

Liu Shu snorted: "Let me agree first, I won't work with him together."

"Uh... alright." Jia Cong curled his lips, "I originally wanted the two of you to work together to get Qin."

Liu Shu snorted again: "I knew that Zhu Tong returned to his hometown, it must be your idea to attack Qin."

Jia Cong said: "Qin's martial arts class, the Gao family in Chang'an has almost infiltrated. It's just that the little friend of the King of Qin has somehow started to set up another group of generals to compete with the Gao family. It's hard to control the child when he grows up. After all, it’s almost time for rebellion.”

Liu Shu was noncommittal.After being quiet for a while, he murmured: "None of my father's staff members are loyal, they are all meticulous."

Jia Cong said: "It's very simple. There are so many divisions in the world. As a talent, there are too many masters to choose from. No matter from which point of view, General Liu Tong is not a good choice. After all, the surname of the princes is Situ, who wants to win?" There is no need to make excuses for Lu Guo to operate."

When Liu Shu thought that this was indeed the case, he propped up his forehead dejectedly.After a while, he asked, "What does the word '食' mean on the plaque outside?"

"Um... I just remember it was a weather phenomenon similar to rain and snow, and I don't know the details." Jia Cong rubbed the back of his head, "You can check the words in Shuowen Jiezi."

Liu Shu looked at him: "You don't know the meaning of the plaque on your own house?"

"I didn't make it, okay. I don't care about plaques or couplets."

Liu Shu sat upright suddenly: "You can't read books with me."

Jia Cong spread his hands: "I was mediocre in my studies. No, I didn't even pass the exam as a scholar. If it wasn't for Uncle Lin's strict supervision, my handwriting is crooked until now."

"Then why did the king of Yan choose military generals to encourage rebellion, and why did he choose sons who didn't even go to school?"

Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "I just didn't pay attention to studying the Four Books and Five Classics. I have read everything I need to read. It doesn't matter if I can recognize a few remote characters. Besides, I read very extensively and read everything. The books are left by the predecessors. Based on my experience, those who have read a lot are not easy to be deceived. For example, you will believe that Zhao Tu is in love with your female spy, but I will not believe it."

"Why don't you believe it?"

"Zhao Tu is a talented person, we have to admit that. He is also good-looking. Back then in Ping'an Prefecture, he was the nephew of the confidant and aide who was the most trusted by Jiedushi Gao Li. Among the younger generation, Gao Li was the most The one who values ​​is Zhao Tu. He is a well-rounded young talent with a bright future. Although your fine workmanship is somewhat charming in appearance, it is far from the word stunning, and his temperament does not seem to be attractive. Features. Zhao Tu fell in love with Ma Shi, I believe that Ma Shi's appearance is extremely outstanding in the whole world, not to mention she is also extremely intelligent; if he is willing to abandon everything in Ping'an Prefecture because he is obsessed with your female spy—— I don’t have that kind of capital.” Jia Cong said with a smile, “This is experience.”

Liu Shu thought about it for a long time, then smiled and said, "With Zhu Tong's talent, coming to Lu is like Zhao Tu falling in love with that female spy."

Jia Cong thought for a while: "If he comes from a bad background and can't find a way out elsewhere, it's reasonable. Or he fell in love with your sister first—he really loves your sister. It's okay for the son-in-law to help the old man. However, he has an uncle who is a prefect in Chang'an, but he went to Lu to be an official, which is not right. Why should he? Qin can give what Lu can give, and everything is cheap in his hometown. Uncle and Mr. Chen had been fighting each other for a while. If you were to replace yourself in Zhu Tong, wouldn't it be a bit strange to make this decision?"

Liu Shu pursed his lips: "It's really a bit strange."

"The King of Yan has all four corners. Since he carefully selected your father and Cao Datong, he must be sure that these two will not pose a threat to him. But he did not expect that the King of Shu also prepared a Jiannan Jiedu Envoy Fang Xiong. Ah Shu, think about it, if the world falls into the hands of King Yan instead of being divided into princely states, what will happen to your father."

Liu Shu thought to himself, "If you're lucky, you'll abandon your armor and surrender, and it's hard to command an army; if you're unlucky, you'll lay ambushes on all sides and die in battle."

Jia Cong glanced at him: "Thinking too much. The aides next to your lord were sent by the king of Yan, and there is still an ambush from all sides? Why was the emperor ambushed by Cao Datong, and your father is the same."

Liu Shu patted his forehead: "I forgot that one." He turned his head to look at Jia Conghuizi, "Why did your master choose you?"

Jia Cong said: "I am rebellious by nature. If he wants to avenge the lord, he must pick someone like me."

Liu Shu looked at Jia Conghuizi: "Why are you rebellious?"

"I don't want to be bullied!" Jia Cong said, "The emperor wanted my uncle to risk his life, so I kidnapped him, and I didn't care about ruining the emperor; the concubine wanted to send my sister to become a monk, so I went straight to the door and robbed him." People, and even put a lump on the forehead of the concubine. I don’t rebel against anyone else. If my fifth uncle didn’t protect me secretly, that old eunuch Liu Dengxi would have killed me long ago.”

Liu Shu nodded, and suddenly his whole body shivered: "If my father falls into the hands of King Yan, I'm afraid he won't survive."

"That's right!" Jia Cong thought, which emperor would accept a rebellious general? "Your father is like Song Jiang, you can be recruited, but you can't keep your life."

Liu Shu looked at him and said, "What about you?"

"Huh? Me what?"

"If you became the emperor, wouldn't you be like their family?"

Jia Cong smiled: "So, I want you to come to the capital for training. Let's go, I'll take you to see Shi Qiusheng."

"Who is Shi Qiusheng?"

"In the future, he will be the leader of the Labor Party." Jia Cong said, "Singing against the Business Party."

Liu Shu was confused: "Are both of them yours?"

"That's right." Jia Cong said, "It's impossible for one party to dominate nature."

"The two parties must not fight?"

"Huh? Isn't Lu State trying to implement a dual parliamentary system? Let's discuss it together! If there is any disagreement, vote. The dictatorship of the majority is better than the dictatorship of the few. It's okay, I can't explain it in a few words. You will naturally understand after a while. After the training, we will discuss what position to arrange for you."

"Anyway, I won't be with Zhu Tong."

"Oh."
