said that Jia Cong slept in his dream that night, and there was a sudden "bang" in the courtyard, which frightened him to wake up. {We don't write novels, we're just internet text porters - pause for a moment, rub your eyes and get up, put on your shoes and push the door out, whistling in.

The sky was full of bright moons, so crystal clear as if they had been painted. The courtyard is bright, and under the big camphor tree stands a white-bearded monk with fluttering monk clothes, who is his uncle and ancestor who went to other countries to pick apprentices. At the door of the wing room on the right, a woman in black stood pretty, relaxed, holding a black hand in her right hand. The muzzle of the gun was aimed at the old monk. Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "How nice it would be if there was a camera!" Shoot it down! Chen Ruijin ignored him.

Jia Cong took a few steps forward and bowed deeply to the old monk: "Uncle Shi came back so soon?" Why don't you come during the day? Can't find an inn? ”

The monk sighed: "It seems that it is not easy to kill you." ”

Jia Cong said: "It's not easy, it's really not easy. It's just that everything has to have a reason, and people who say it are not aggrieved. I'm your brother's own grandson! I still think I'm cute, and my uncle likes me a lot. ”

The monk said, "Your grandfather's reputation will be ruined sooner or later." ”

Jia Cong blinked: "Why? ”

"Sooner or later, you're going to have to rebel." The monk said, "Twenty years at the earliest, forty years at the latest." ”

"Huh?" Jia Congqi said, "How did these two numbers come from? ”

The monk looked at him and sighed: "The poor monk is optimistic that King Yan can win the world, just because you have the heart to vote for him." You're a guy with a background. Except for King Yan, those few people are afraid that they won't be able to convince you. ”

Jia Cong raised his eyebrows: "Thank you!" ”

"On that day, I reminded King Yan that you have a presumptuous temperament and cannot be restrained, and if you don't keep it, you will be opposed. He said, others are okay, you Jia Cong will never rebel. He knows that you are casual, affectionate, and sensible, and you know better than others that you can't be the emperor. The monk recited the Buddha, "He forgot that rebellion does not have to be an emperor, you can also be a bandit, and the green forest is the same as a bandit." King Yan forgot that you can't afford to lose. ”

Jia Cong pursed his lips and said, "Why does he give me a loss?" ”

The monk said: "As a minister, there will always be a time to suffer." Even if King Yan doesn't lose you, his son will lose you sooner or later. Even if his son does not owe you, he will inevitably lose your relatives and friends. If his son loses Jia Meng, how will you be? ”

Jia Cong said casually: "Take revenge on him." ”

The monk recited the Buddha again: "That's it." Last time, the poor monk asked you for three people, and you knew that the disciples taught by the poor monks must be generals who can lead the army for the country, and they refused to give it to the poor monks, all because you were useful. Jia Cong, you are too selfish and don't take the country and the monarch in your eyes. The Son of Heaven has all kinds of opportunities, where can he take care of every courtier? But if there is a trace of indwelling against you, you will take revenge on the king as a man, and the kingdom will be in turmoil. ”

Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "You have really been brainwashed strictly." Nai scratched his head and said, "If I ask my uncle and ancestor whether it is the king or the people, you will say that the king is heavy; Now if I ask my uncle and ancestor, is the monarch or the country? ”

The monk said: "Without a king, where is there a country?" ”

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Old man, it's the opposite!" Where did the king come from without a country? Although you and I have different paths to Buddhism, the Buddha and the Jade Emperor have a very close relationship, so why bother to trouble me. I am here for the catastrophe that will destroy the country a hundred years later. Didn't the Eight-Nation Alliance's capture of the capital kill the emperor and the queen mother? The palace was robbed of a clean one. Do you know how the enemy soldiers found the palace? The way that ordinary people showed them! ”

The monk shouted: "Diao Miner dare!" ”

Jia Cong said idly: "The cowardly and incompetent Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother who doesn't treat Li Min as a person, how much do you think the people will support them?" ”

The monk's face changed.

"The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies. If the ruler does not take the country in his eyes, he will not be far from the country of death. Jia Cong said, "What Uncle Shi said is. The Son of Heaven has all kinds of opportunities, but after all, he is also human. Even if he is as smart as King Yan, it is inevitable that he can't take care of it. And how rare is the king of Yan! The first emperor gave birth to nine sons, and it was only in the end that he got such a clever egg. He is wise, but he cannot guarantee that all his children and great-grandchildren are wise. If it weren't him who was on the throne - for example, the Emperor Taishang, a huge country, would he be able to settle so many things alone? That's why there are ministers. The minister is the king. When the king's ability is insufficient, there are ministers to help him rule the world. Shi Shuzu said, 'Give me a loss', obviously it will not be because of ability, but because of thought. And most of it is not for himself, but for his relatives and friends. ”

The monk frowned and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Although my uncle is a monk, he also walked through the green forest in his early years, and he couldn't help but see the love of men and women in the world. People will be affectionate, and affectionate will be eccentric. For example, his brother-in-law fell in love with my cute daughter-in-law and wanted to take it away. If he loves his concubine deeply, he will inevitably help his brother-in-law for the sake of his lover. Outsiders often say, 'But a woman, let go into heaven.' 'Good. Even if going up to the heavenly family is the foundation of the minister, not the relatives of the heavenly family, right? The Son of Heaven is good, the favorite concubine is good, but the younger brother may not be good. And the favorite concubine has only one younger brother, who has never been wronged since she was a child, and she gives what she wants. This kind of thing is common. In the early years, when Emperor Taishang was in power, it was all over the capital. This is robbing a daughter-in-law, but what if it is not a daughter-in-law who is robbed, but a daughter? The daughter who was raised as a pearl in the palm of his home let Uncle Guo snatch it, Uncle Guo only loved it for three or five years, and when a newcomer came in, he abandoned it like a mustard, so what did he think in his father's heart? ”

The monk sighed: "These poor monks know. Since ancient times, Ming Jun has been ruthless. It's just that where can you get so many ruthless Mingjun? That's why the poor monk said that the Son of Heaven will inevitably have a time when he can't take care of it. Those who achieve great things are not informal. For the sake of the people and the people, occasionally encountering these things can only endure, not bear. For the sake of all the people, even if we know that there are some facts that the Son of Heaven has done inappropriately, I can't care about right and wrong. If everyone rebelled because they suffered a little loss from the emperor, what would the world become? When the world is in turmoil, the smoke rises everywhere, and the people are displaced. It is better to be a dog in a prosperous world than a person in a troubled world. ”

Jia Cong said coldly: "If you don't have the ability to be the emperor, don't do it, change to someone who has the ability to do it." Subjects are also people. Even a virtuous and capable minister like me has to suffer a loss, can you expect him to be kind to the people? ”

The monk said: "Even if you occasionally treat one or two badly, it will not be bad in general." ”

Jia Cong looked at him and smiled: "Uncle Shi, are you kidding?" You yourself said that if the little sage collects the money from the sale, there will be one and two, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to hold it back. If you will treat one or two at a loss, you will treat three or four at a loss, and then there will be more and more than seven or eight companies with more than a dozen. A hundred years later, it was still the Eight-Nation Coalition army that entered the city, and the people led the way for the enemy soldiers. Because the people hate the heavenly family deeply, they expect foreign races to avenge themselves, and they don't want these foreign races to turn around and almost wipe out our huge country! ”

The monk gasped and stopped talking.

Jia Cong waited for a long time and saw that he didn't move, so he said: "Uncle Shi is a soldier, so he must have read too many history books. I've said countless times, this time is different from the past, the world is changing, you have never been the wind in your ears! You always look at the history books, and you always feel that everything is just like that. In the past, our dynasty changed, and foreigners did not have a century-old national fortune from the beginning of Wuhu Chaohua to the end of Mengyuan and Yuan. You always feel that this is the truth, eternal and unchanging. I've said it countless times, and now it's changed, changed, changed! Once upon a time, we were the largest and most powerful civilization in Asia. When we were napping, those Asian foreigners occasionally fought for decades and hundreds of years, and they were either assimilated by us or couldn't control us, because they were not as advanced as us! Today's Westerners are not hundreds of years ago! People have big ships that can transport troops and immigrants; People have guns and cannons, and they can easily slaughter our city and destroy our country! A lesson from the past, North and South America! Why isn't it in the history books? Because the ancients didn't have such good ships, and the foreigners in ancient times didn't know how to make guns! ”

The monk said sharply: "You will!" Jia Cong was stunned. The monk pointed at him and said, "The Red Bone Record was opened by your Jia family, what kind of Western fire. The guns and artillery were not bought by the West at all, they were all made by you. ”

Jia Cong snorted: "You haven't been anywhere these days, just going around in Taiwan." Enough shade. He immediately preempted the monk and said, "Am I not doing it right?" Shall I run to tell you lords that I will make fire. Guns and artillery? Then they will definitely not fight the foreigners, and they will fight me first. Not to mention that they can beat me. I didn't make these things for their civil war. I also said it before, and I mentioned it just now, Uncle Shi, you just can't grasp the point. Do you know what I'm talking about? Why don't we write down what we say today and show it to the kings of Yan, Wu, and Shu, and ask them, what is the most important thing? ”

The monk was silent for a moment and said, "In a hundred years, there will be a catastrophe of destroying the country." ”

"It's not about destroying the country, it's about destroying the people." Jia Congsen said, "What is the destruction of the country, there will always be a new dynasty built." The extermination of the clan is the end of the melon. Nai smiled sarcastically, "You would always rather destroy the clan in my dynasty than have one more bandit surnamed Jia in the world." ”

The monk was silent for a long time, and said, "You are a bandit, and you are different from others who are bandits. King Yan said that you will not rebel, but because you know that you must be ruthless for the king, and you are the most affectionate. Your son and nephew may not know about this, and if you don't want to be the emperor, they will inevitably think about it. You're too capable. If Jia Meng wants to be the emperor in twenty years, you will definitely help him. According to the guns and cannons of the Red Bone Record, I am afraid that the world will change hands. ”

Jia Cong covered his face with one hand, shook his head for a while, and said: "I know that some people are stupid, but I didn't expect that an old monk like you would be stupid and stubborn." You don't have the surname Situ, why do you care about this? ”

The monk smiled bitterly: "The poor monk's surname is Situ. ”

"Huh?"

"The duty of the poor monk is to guard the Situ family."

Jia Cong pursed his lips: "You shouldn't have had a chance to ascend the throne, right?" Like in the past, King Yan assisted the Emperor Taishang? The monk didn't speak, and it was obvious that Jia Cong was right. Jia Cong muttered, "No wonder you are optimistic about King Yan, but you still want to be the emperor in your old heart." Even if you can't be it, it's not bad to let Yan Wang, who is about the same as when you were young. ”

The monk recited the Buddha: "The poor monk has long been a monk." ”

Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders and said, "However, it is your wishful thinking to compare yourself to King Yan. You're not as good as him, it's far worse. If King Yan ascends the throne, he will become a generation of Ming monarchs, and you will be a generation of faint monarchs. Nai glanced at him, "Uncle Shizu, you haven't thought about what the word 'extermination' means?" There are no eggs under the nest, including dragon eggs. ”

The monk said: "You went down to the world to remind the world of the calamity of the West, and you have reminded it." Now all the kings know about the evils of the West, and they have those guns. You've done it, go back. ”

Jia Cong sneered: "I reminded it, and I reminded it many times, and then what? At this time, some people are really thinking about whether to fight the West, have they fought? What if you just hit a little bit, grab a few bucks and leave? If it weren't for the prince who held these firearms to the death and only sold them to foreign soldiers, would they be able to endure the civil war? Since ancient times, civil wars have been the most time-consuming for the population. The Three Kingdoms fought for decades, and the population was lost by more than half, so there was the later Wuhu Rebellion. How much ability did the Hu people have back then, and how much ability do foreigners have now? Will they be able to stop the Eight-Nation Alliance? ”

The monk glanced at him: "Eight-Nation Alliance? ”

"England, France, Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Eastern, American." Jia Cong said, "Dongying, I have already let King Yan, King Wu and Liu Tong join forces to destroy it. Russia, my sister is not afraid of retribution, and she killed the first British lord of the other country, and now the faint monarch has succeeded to the throne for a long time. And the Six Nations. ”

"Hiss......" the monk gasped.

Jia Cong looked at the monk Huizi with pity, and said, "No wonder it's too . . . Grandpa is going to trick you into going to the temple and lock you up. I'll just say, why hide a very capable person to stay in the temple, what a waste of talent! has no ability, is paranoid, pedantic, and does not hesitate to use means, but he is still a child of the heavenly family. If I am reluctant to kill you, I can only be shut up. Otherwise, Jiangshan Sheji may not let you toss up some mess. ”

The monk couldn't help but move his eyes and chanted the Buddha.

Jia Cong thought to himself, it can be seen that he has not doubted it. Nai pouted and said: "No matter how genius he is, he has been claustrophobic for decades and has not gone out, and he is not behind the world!" Your old minds have been solidified. Even though there is a map of the West on the wall, the inertia in my mind still feels that there is only one country in the world that is so big, and I have never thought about other countries. You never thought about it, if my Meng'er wants to be the emperor, why should I be the emperor of the dynasty? How much effort does that take? The world is so big, South America, North America, Australia, Africa, and many other countries in Asia. ”

"If you go to another country, what about Taiwan?"

"Don't you think it's better for the Taiwanese government to be like this now? Prince Yizhong, as the eldest son of the first emperor, only left a granddaughter. If it weren't for the kings, the children and grandchildren of the Emperor Taishang would not be able to stay; Even if it is as it is now, it is difficult to say whether there will be any life in 30 years. With the Taiwan government here, he can keep a root. ”

The monk thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Xiao Qi." ”

Jia Cong nodded: "He will not enter the court again, and he will not return his identity." But he can live well and become his own son in the future. The surname Situ will not be restored until his grandson's generation. After all, the Emperor Taishang is an emperor who has rightfully ascended the throne, so there must be a queen, right? Besides, there is the change of dynasties. ”

This guy is talking too smoothly. The monk looked at him fixedly for a long time, let out a sigh of relief, folded his hands and recited, "Amitabha." Nai asked, "According to you, the world is divided like this?" ”

Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't care if they are divided and combined, there can be no civil war until the West is destroyed." As for which family will rule the world in a hundred years, it is not my responsibility, and there will be someone else to assist the Son of Heaven at that time. At the moment, I will help whoever is happy, and if I am not happy, I will watch the excitement. My errand is only Western, to be clear, the Eight-Nation Alliance. Uncle Shi," Jia Cong pointed to the moon in the sky and said, "Most of Zuoshi's people are Wenqu Xing, Wuqu Tianji Xing, these guys have seen Nezha Sun Xing assist the Son of Heaven?" Shall we all deal with foreigners? ”

The monk's eyes widened immediately. He paid attention to Jia Cong and didn't see the fire. Chen Ruijin of the gun was smiling.

"Huo Quzhi is a monkey, and Qi Jiguang is my second brother Li Muzha. Yue Fei's spiritual aperture has not been opened, otherwise he will not die. Whoever is the emperor is his business! In the end, the errand was not completed. Jia Cong smirked, "That's Lei Zhenzi of the Ji family." ”

The monk really shocked him, and he was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say on the spot.

Jia Cong spread his hands: "Do you still pick apprentices?" ”

The monk asked, "Who will be taught to assist?" ”

"Whoever fights a foreigner will assist him."

The monk pondered for a long time: "What about Xiao Qi?" ”

"He can't." Jia Cong said, "It's too risky, I can't bear it." ”

The monk nodded: "If you can't even give up on him, you can't bear to risk your children and grandchildren in ruin." Jia Cong rolled his eyes.

The monk stared at him for a long time, jumped up, turned his hand and chopped off a thick branch of the old camphor tree, but turned his head and looked at Jia Cong coldly. But seeing Jia Cong's distressed feet: "This camphor tree has been more than 70 years!" I'd like to list it as a protected tree! Why don't you go to split the roof? ”

The monk couldn't help but say, "Split the roof, won't the house be broken?" ”

"Just fix it!" Jia Cong said, "The house is dead after all, and it will have to be renovated sooner or later; Are trees alive? ”

The monk didn't know what to say. After a long time, he sighed: "When poor monks go to various countries, they can always find a lovely heir. ”

"Hmm." Jia Cong waved his hand lazily, "Good luck to you, peach and plum all over the world!" ”

Seeing that the monk had no shadow, Chen Ruijin put down the gun and said with a smile: "Yue Fei is Lei Zhenzi? ”

"Of course not." Jia Cong said, "I'm a fool of myself. ”

"I knew it." Chen Ruijin turned around and went back to the house.
