The Imperial Forest Army returned to Beijing, and Beijing was much more stable in an instant. The seven sons of the saint, the eldest and the third and fourth who didn't expect to sit on the dragon chair all packed up their things and led their mother to the fiefdom, the seventh was gone, and the second, fifth and sixth were left in Beijing. The old lady Liu Dengxi and the others naturally refused to allow the fifth prince to sit on that chair, so they discussed making the second prince the crown prince. The second prince was determined to refuse, and only said that everything would wait for him to come back today. The affairs of the government were temporarily handed over to Situ Pan to be in charge. said that it was a government government, and there was not much left of dividing the kings' territories; There is also a Son of Heaven who doesn't know how. Therefore, Situ Pan only tried his best to gather the courtiers and barely put up the shelf of the court. Qin Sangu once told him when Jia Cong came to hang out that he could let Lin Hai and the other adults come back. Jia Cong smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that Beijing will be in chaos for several years, and I have already sent people to Guangzhou." Let's wait until it's settled. ”

In only ten days, Liu Dengxi Ganlei and others discussed with Situ Pan to lead the Imperial Forest Army to attack the kings everywhere. Situ Pan waved his hand again and again: "Ladies and gentlemen, not to mention that the third brother doesn't know what to think outside, just because the people in Beijing are panicking now, there is no way to start a war immediately." There are also money, food, armor, bows and arrows to be prepared, which is different from going to Tianjin. When the people heard this, they had to give up.

The trouble is that Fang Xiong killed many ministers, and now he has to rehabilitate them and return the family property. The family property is just a real estate return, and the money has already been let Fang Xiong wait or take it away or go away, so naturally there is no way to return it. Taking advantage of the current chaos in the DPRK and China, and no one in charge of the household department, Jia Cong managed to buy someone to forge a household registration for Han Quan, and he broke it clearly. It is said that Han He, the superintendent of the country, has an outer room, and his mother's surname cannot be examined, because his wife Zhao has no children, so this son is recorded in Zhao's name. He relied on this to ask for family property for Han Quan. Because it was someone from Rongguo Mansion who was sent, and he sued him for doing something, Young Master Han is now being raised by the eldest lady of Rongguo Mansion. One of the things that could not be investigated in detail, and the other was afraid of the momentum of the Rongguo Mansion, so he was busy with them, and returned a house of Han He's son Han Quanyuan and fifty acres of fertile land on the outskirts of the city.

Jia Huan got the title deed and ordered someone to send it to Mrs. Xing, only saying that the government had returned the Han family's property that day. Mrs. Xing was all devoted to Han's body, and she couldn't wait for all her private room to be left to him, where would her things be detained? And he called the boy and gave it to him. Han Quan was stunned for a moment, holding the deed and weeping: "I don't want Brother Huan to get this for me." He originally treated Jia Huan with great respect but was quite unfamiliar, and then he became much more intimate.

After a few more days, Jia Cong saw that Situ Pan had gradually taken control of the situation and it was useless to stay in Beijing, so he discussed with his son to go back to Taiwan. Nai told Liu Xianglian to say: "The matter in Beijing can be gradually told to Uncle Lin to them, so they must not be let out of the mountain." ”

Liu Xianglian asked, "How long are you going to lock them up?" ”

Jia Cong said: "When they understand that Situ Pan is anti-voluntary, let's look at the situation." ”

He then went to Feng's house to say goodbye. Seeing Feng Ziying, he said: "I went back to Beijing to send Heizi on his last journey, and I didn't want to be like this." Now that the Imperial Forest Army has returned, and King Xian has stabilized, it is time for me to go back. My dad doesn't know how to worry these days. ”

Feng Ziying looked at him and sighed: "The world is in such a mess, you are like a person who has nothing to do." ”

Jia Cong said: "The world seems to be chaotic, but in fact it is not chaotic, what is there to worry about?" When you arrive at the feudal land, you must first settle the hearts of the army and the people, as long as you don't fight, everything is easy to do. ”

Feng Ziying pondered for a moment and said, "What do you think will happen to the court in the future?" ”

Jia Cong said: "King Yan occupies the two places of Yan and Zhao, and there have been strong men since ancient times, and there are characters like Situ Pan, King of Yan, who are leading him, and he is stronger than the kings next to him." Moreover, Shu is the country of abundance, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack when it comes to fighting. King Wu is good at business, and Wu Yue is a rich land in the land of fish and rice, depending on how well he gets along with the local leading generals. If you can subdue a few strong generals, it is also good. ”

Feng Ziying was stunned for a long time when she heard this, and said, "You are talking about the King of Yan and the King of Shu." ”

Jia Cong let out a "hmm".

Feng Ziying said: "Those traitors, do you think they can all succeed?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Haven't they already done it? ”

Feng Ziying said: "If the Son of Heaven returns, an order will be given......

Before he finished speaking, Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "Brother Feng, you can see the reality clearly." The saint didn't have much ability, he relied on the first emperor to push him onto the chair. The first emperor has been holding on to his military power, his name is the Son of Heaven is actually the prince, and before the generals can treat him as the emperor, he is gone! What can he do when he comes back? There is no authority at all. Those who have military power get their territory. If you have the military power of the world, you will get the territory of the world, and if you have the military power of one side, you will get the territory of the other. The saint has no soldiers in his hands, and no matter how powerful the Royal Forest Army is, there are only more than 50,000 people. Moreover, it costs money to raise soldiers. In the past, the Imperial Forest Army was powerful because many of the world's taxes went into the military department. Now that the former soldiers have been killed by Fang Xiong, the soldiers are all in a panic, can they have the heart to train the soldiers. And the kings probably won't send money to Beijing. ”

Feng Ziying took a heavy breath, sulked for a moment, and asked, "Since you are talking about King Yan, are you sure that King Xian will be opposed?" ”

Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders and said, "It won't be so fast." The saint still has three sons in Beijing, and he still needs some false names. ”

Feng Ziying was silent again.

Jia Cong couldn't help it and said, "What is Brother Feng worried about? Don't you think that the virtuous king is wiser than today? Wouldn't he be better emperor than he is now? ”

Feng Ziying opened her mouth, shook her head again, and said, "It's just that my father is a little pedantic. ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Xianwang naturally has a way to persuade him." You just try to keep him out of the way too much. If you really can't do it, you can try to get rid of your father's official like Brother Huan. As long as you are a talent, you don't have to worry about Brother Xianwang's need for you. ”

Feng Ziying looked at him: "Why is the official of the second master of your family dismissed?" ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Otherwise, in the chaos of the past few months, his old man may not be able to add to the chaos." It's just that I see that Uncle Feng is not such a dull person, you can persuade him. He really has to follow Jinshang, go to Qingzhou to follow King Lu Yecheng, that is also Jinshang's son. ”

Feng Ziying was suddenly shocked, grabbed Jia Cong's chest and pulled him over, and said in a low voice: "Do you and the third aunt have something to hide from me?" ”

Jia Cong said "oops" twice: "What are you hiding from, don't catch people's clothes!" I have something to say, I'm not as tall as you! ”

Feng Ziying didn't let go of her hand, stared at him and asked, "Why are you both looking like saints can't come back?" ”

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Do you think he can come back?" Even the shadow of the person is gone, okay? Could it be that he was taken on a trip to outer space by the Enterprise? Put me down first, and I'll tell you slowly. ”

Feng Ziying put him down.

Jia Cong straightened his clothes and complained: "What are you excited about, how smart I am for you." I said earlier that the third aunt and sister are smarter than you, but you are still not convinced! ”

Feng Ziying stared at him motionlessly.

Jia Cong said: "This matter couldn't be simpler. The kings were divided, and no one objected. Although King Xian was locked up at the time, he did not object after he was released. Even Prince Yizhong went to Ezhou to be the king of Ezhou. Now, I hear people outside say that the sage had passed the book to Uncle Feng and others, saying that he had other arrangements. If it is true, this person is no longer mediocre, he is completely stupid! Think for yourself, the world has become what it is now, is there any clever way to get back? I don't think it's possible. Give you some time to think, you might come up with a way to come out? ”

Feng Ziying was silent for a long time, shook her head and said, "I can't." Can others keep it? ”

Jia Cong spread his hands: "Okay, I can't guarantee that others can." So you say, why. What good is it for him to do so. Can you see that the kings have bad intentions? Please, he originally intended to repair this group of brothers after the death of the first emperor, okay? And the kings have done so many things that they need not be pampered with them. Can you see that his sons are ambitious? What emperor's sons had no ambitions? Therefore, it is impossible for the saint to set up a trap for the kings in the back, but he himself is powerless to stop it! ”

Feng Ziying said: "Even if he can't stop the kings from dividing the feuds, he may not be able to come back." ”

Jia Cong said: "What if you come back? In the past, King Xian helped him, in addition to brotherhood, the more important thing is not to help him! There are emperors and kings, and saints have the status of the Son of Heaven, and their brothers can only stand together. Now, if he doesn't help the saint to stand on his own, there's nothing wrong with that. Therefore, whether the saint comes back or not cannot change the overall situation, nor can he change the fact that his own virtue and talent are in the lower reaches of the kings. Brother Feng, you really can't convince Uncle Feng, or let him scold the first emperor. It's a pity that those easy-to-platter imperial histories have already killed half of Fang Xiong, and half of them have resigned. ”

Feng Ziying sighed: "Do you really want the kings to compete for power?" ”

Jia Cong let out a "hmm" and said, "The world is going to be interesting!" ”

Feng Ziying thought about it again and again, only to feel that Jia Cong's words were irrefutable, and it would be useless if she didn't come back today. Finally went to Qin Sangu and said, "You are reasonable, I will try to persuade my father to vote for King Xian together." ”

Qin Sangu said curiously: "I haven't seen you figure it out for so long, why did you suddenly figure it out?" ”

Feng Ziying smiled bitterly: "Cong'er made me clear." After that, he repeated what Jia Cong said.

Qin Sangu high-fived and said, "I understand everything he said, but I don't know it as clearly as him." ”

Feng Ziying said with a smile: "His set of words can be used to subdue many people for King Xian." ”

Qin Sangu also smiled: "This kid also said that day that he would be a staff member of King Xian when he grew up." In this case, it is better to let him think of his strength first. ”

The two of them then went to the Xianwang Mansion to meet him, and said what Jia Cong said again. Situ Pan nodded and said: "Even Liu Dengxi didn't understand the things that he could see clearly. ”

Two days later, Jia Cong went to King Xian's Mansion to resign. Situ Pan smiled and said, "Do you have anything to tell me?" ”

Jia Cong was stunned: "Huh? Tell you? ”

Situ Pan said: "Hmm. Mr. Jia is extraordinary, and this king also wants to hear what you mean. Didn't you say you wanted to come to my house as a staff member? Horizontal and vertical will not shorten your money. ”

Jia Cong understood that Feng Ziying had already taken refuge in him, and grinned: "Brother Feng is also a big tongue. Nai pondered for a moment and said, "Now that the saint can't come back, he can temporarily appoint the five princes as emperors." ”

Situ Pan frowned: "He is Fang Xiongli." ”

Jia Cong said: "I heard that his reputation among the people is stronger than that of the eldest prince, and King Yan can also send people to investigate." Besides, since it's a disguise, it doesn't have to be exchanged. Wang Ye is not Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo did the abolition of the establishment in order to establish authority, and the prince did not need to establish authority, he already had authority. If it is exchanged, it will give people a sense of deliberate prestige. The second prince chose the opportunity to send him out and let him be a prince. The six princes can be kept for backup, or they can be sent out with the signboard of the new monarch. ”

Situ Pan nodded and said, "Mr. is reasonable. ”

"Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow to become king. The army depends on money and food, and the world is rich if commerce and trade are common. I also hope that the prince will not start a war lightly. ”

Situ Pan said: "This king was not prepared to start a war early. ”

Jia Cong smiled and said: "I know that the prince is not good, but I just gave a word of advice." The horizontal and vertical chassis is stronger than anything else. In recent years, all the princes have not dared to act rashly, and everyone has been holding back their energy to play by themselves to see what it will look like in ten years. Whose territory is rich and prosperous, whose territory is poor for its people. ”

He and Jarvis left Beijing the next day. Situ Pan relied on Feng Ziying and other henchmen to gradually gather some important ministers.

On this day, Liu Dengxi went out to run errands and returned to his residence. He didn't live in the palace for a long time, so he got a big mansion outside the Forbidden City, guarded by the Imperial Forest Army outside. When the old eunuch entered the door, he saw that none of the patrolling people outside knew him, and asked, "Why have you changed people?" ”

The leader of the patrol soldiers stepped forward and said, "The last general, Li Qing, was originally patrolling in the Xianwang Mansion, but he was only transferred here today. ”

Liu Dengxi saw that his words were truthful and his demeanor was generous, and he was never suspicious. After walking a few steps, he turned back and asked, "Which battalion are you from?" ”

The leader said, "The last general is from the pro-barracks." ”

Because Liu Dengxi and Situ Pan are too important, the mansion of the two of them is guarded by the personal barracks. Liu Dengxi nodded and stepped in.

It was the third watch of the night, and someone shouted "Kill the traitor!" As soon as the gong rang at the door of Liu Dengxi's mansion, countless soldiers cut the bolt of the door and killed it.

Liu Fuben, who had many guards, also rushed out, and asked in a panic, "Where did the traitor come from?" ”

Unexpectedly, all the people who came in from outside were the Royal Forest Army! See one cut one. Before the guards of the Liu Mansion could detect the cause and effect, dozens of them had already been cut down. Someone hurriedly rushed in and said to Liu Dengxi: "Father-in-law! The Guards are in! ”

Liu Dengxi had already climbed up, his face was as cold as frost, and he said in a sharp voice: "The miscellaneous family never dreamed that Situ Pan would be anti-minded!" ”

The henchman hurriedly said, "They're about to go into the yard!" Father-in-law, how is it good! ”

Liu Dengxi looked at him and smiled: "How is it good?" Before the words fell, a red mark appeared on the henchman's neck, and he fell to the ground and died. Liu Dengxi wiped the blood from the knife, got up and closed the door.

When the Imperial Forest Army arrived inside, Liu Dengxi had disappeared, there was a big hole on the kang, and there was a tunnel below. The pursuers chased out along the tunnel, which led to a baked cake shop ten miles away, and there was no one in the shop.

Situ Pan sighed when he heard the report: "Let him escape." ”

Feng Ziying said: "Tomorrow, the whole city will search for him, I'm afraid that he will fly to the sky with wings." ”

Situ Pan waved his hand and said, "You don't know what he is capable of." We can't find him. Leave him alone. ”
