Unconsciously in the middle of the night, Yan Song blew out the light and was about to fall asleep.

Suddenly, he felt a heat in his hand, and then a red light shone from the eyes that had been squinting in the rat shape.

The light is getting brighter and brighter, illuminating the room as if it were daytime, and at the same time, a strange fragrance seeps out, which makes people intoxicated.

Yan Song was shocked and hurriedly summoned the Taoist.

After entering the house, the Taoist shrugged his nose: "Could it be the warm fragrant nephrite? According to legend, this jade is an ancient rarity, and it often appears in the form of the zodiac." During the day, it absorbs the heat of heaven and earth and stores it in the body, so it feels very warm to the touch. In the middle of the night, it radiates heat through its eyes, and its own strange fragrance will also come out. Congratulations to the master, the birth of this jade often shows the will of heaven and can bring auspiciousness to the owner. ”

When the Taoist spoke, Yan Song was overjoyed, but he still remained silent: "Look, it seems that there are many things lining up to come out of the bookshelf, and drill into the hole of this rat's mouth along the red light." ”

The Taoist nodded: "That's silverfish, a moth that specializes in gnawing books, attracted by red light and aroma, and when it enters the mouth of the mouse, it will be killed by the heat in the rat's body, and it will be discharged from the rat's tail as a dung ball." ”

"That's when you can tell the male and female of this rat. If it is a female rat, I am afraid that Taishi is not its real master, and if it is a male rat and is the same age as Taishi, then the appearance of this rat is a sign that Taishi will face a great opportunity. Not to mention anything else, just looking at this silverfish lined up, like a minister going to the hall to worship, respectful and orderly, it shows that Taishi Weide is all over the world, and everyone admires it. ”

Yan Song heard that his body was crisp and soft, like a cloud driving a mist, and he heard the Taoist exclaim: "Look, there is a dung ball rolling out from behind the rat's tail." The female feces are round and hairless, and the feces are pointed and hairy, and the hair is white, indicating that it is an elderly male rat. Oops, this mouse corresponds to you, Taishi. It seems that the wealth and glory of Taishi in the future are unfathomable. ”

As he spoke, the red light emitted from the rat's eyes faded away.

The Taoist took out a small carving knife from his bosom to carve the rat's eyes bigger: "This rat squinted its eyes, and the red light emitted was a little sharp, too domineering. Poor Dao helped it open its eyes, so that it could be bright, close to the Taishi, and have more soft royal spirit. ”

Yan Song listened to it with a comfortable body, and said unfinished: "The rat-shaped shape of a warm nephrite jade is so magical, and the white rabbit that escaped, I don't know how many unpredictable heavenly opportunities there should be." ”

The Taoist said casually: "Poor Dao will go back in the past two days to lay a net of heaven and earth to catch this white rabbit for the Taishi." Hmph, could it be that it can run to the palace?"

As soon as the words came out, suddenly the two of them thought about it at the same time, and they were both stunned.

After looking at each other for a long time, Yan Song yawned, pretended to be sleepy, and sent the Taoist away.

This night, Yan Song completely lost sleep.

There is no doubt that this rat represents him.

Because he was born in the sixteenth year of Chenghua, he happened to be a rat.

And when the son of heaven Jiajing, he was born in the second year of Zhengde, which happened to be a rabbit.

Over the years, Jiajing has always been obedient to him, but after he returned to Beijing from a family visit, Jiajing became lukewarm to him.

Now there is a gray squirrel riding a white rabbit, and there is a prophecy of "gray squirrel riding a rabbit, and the power of heaven changes handles", does it mean that he wants to ride on Jiajing and stand on behalf of the sky?

Moreover, just some time ago, Jiajing had an unknown disease, lying on the dragon couch, sweating like pulp at every turn, as if running with a load.

It wasn't until the Taoist knocked down the gray squirrel and the white rabbit escaped that Jiajing recovered from a serious illness.

Could it be that all this is providential?

The more he thought about it, the more he realized that anything was possible.

In the end, he decided to enter the palace in the form of a rat and dedicate it to Jiajing.

Perhaps in the dark, Jiajing, the white rabbit, has become hostile to him.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this is not a joke.

If Jiajing turns his face one day, his Yan family will fall into a catastrophe.

While he can still enter the palace now, send this gray squirrel into the palace to see where Jiajing, the white rabbit, can escape.

Before dawn, Yan Song stopped washing.

Before entering the palace, he suddenly thought of something, and suddenly felt like he was on pins and needles.

He pondered for a moment, then whispered to the general.

When Emperor Jiajing heard that there was a treasure to offer, he hurriedly announced that Yan Song was visiting.

After the monarch and ministers finished the ceremony, Yan Song presented the gray squirrel and said: "Long live Qiyu, don't look at this thing is not amazing, it is really the treasure of the study." In the middle of the night, its eyes will light up, and the silverfish and insects in the book will be introduced into the stomach to be eliminated. ”

Jiajing was bored when he heard it, and his face was disdainful.

Yan Song had already figured out Jiajing's temperament, and said busily: "Long live Qiyu, there is a strange thing about this thing, that is, it is gentle to the touch like a virgin's hand, and in the middle of the night, it can exude a fragrant fragrance of virgin fragrance, so the name of this thing is Wenxiang nephrite." ”

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Jiajing came to his senses: "Okay, I will accept this warm fragrant nephrite and sleep with it tonight." ”

Seeing that Jiajing had no doubt, Yan Song breathed a sigh of relief.

But as soon as he returned home, his heart hung in his throat again.

The general reported to him: "Master, it's not good, the Landao people have escaped." ”

Yan Song was furious: "I asked you to bring his head to see you, but you returned empty-handed, useless waste!"

The general shuddered and presented a piece of paper: "On the table in the Taoist's room, I found this." ”

Yan Song took it and saw that it was the word "prisoner" on the paper, and a footnote written next to it: "This word is demolished as a person in the country before; May the Master do it himself. ”

That night, Yan Song tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

The Taoist knew that Jiajing was the white rabbit, and he was afraid that he would leak his secrets, so Yan Song wanted to kill him.

But what did he mean by leaving that piece of paper?

I stayed up in a daze until the sky was dark, and suddenly I heard a commotion in front of the house.

Yan Song was excited, could it be that the gray squirrel rode the white rabbit to death, this is the court sent someone to invite him to preside over the overall situation?

Thinking of this, he jumped up, and as soon as he came out of the bedroom, he saw a team of armor soldiers rushing into the house.

The general who led the team announced: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: Yan Song has failed the grace of the saint and has bad intentions, so the military guard sent troops to copy the revolution and take it." Chin!"

Yan Song rolled his eyes and collapsed on the ground.

Jiajing dismissed Yan Song from all positions and ordered him to return to his hometown for introspection.

Two years later, his son Yan Shifan was beheaded, Yan Song was also cut to the people, and all family property was confiscated.

At this time, Yan Song was already an old man in his eighties, homeless, so he had to build a thatched hut next to the ancestral grave and make a living by eating offerings from the cemetery.

Despite this, he is convinced of the truth.

He found a cemetery for himself, which was the site of the oil mill where the Taoist said the gray squirrel rode the rabbit.

He firmly believes that if he is buried here after his death, future generations will be able to rise again to worship the prime minister.

But when he asked someone to dig up, he dug up two tombstones, one for his great-grandfather and the other for his great-grandfather.

The local villagers told him that in those days, Yan Song's ancestors were kind and benevolent to benefit one party, while his great-grandfather was fierce and arrogant and harmed the villagers.

Later, the great-grandfather lost all his family property, and there was no place to bury him after his death.

The family had no choice but to bury him under Gaozu's grave, forming a bunk bed shared by the two of them.
