Saying that Jia Huan sent a letter saying that he wanted to marry Princess Jian'an, Jia Yu asked: "But the one who fell in love with Baoyu's poem?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Hmm. It was too reckless and abrupt, and my brother and I both thought it was strange, and there must be a reason for it. Brother Huan will not be a fool if he can look down on him. ”

Jia Yu said: "No matter what the reason, the second child and the old ancestor will not agree." ”

Jia Cong tugged at the corners of his mouth: "It doesn't matter what the two of them said." ”

Jia Yu was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "What I said is, why did I forget about this, it is obvious that I am old." Then he asked, "How old is the princess?" ”

Jia Cong said: "I checked, this year twelve." ”

Jia Yu suddenly flicked his chopsticks and scolded: "It's not even a flower bone!" What is the little rabbit monkey anxious about? Let him wait! Don't you have to wait for the girl to turn fifteen, right? He was so panicked that he opened two girls first. ”

Jia Cong couldn't help laughing: "Brother Huan must not be in a hurry for this, what does Dad think, there is still something in Beijing." The king of Lu went to Luzhou, not to mention the thousands of miles away, and it was fatal to be unfamiliar with life. She is the sister of King Lu, so who will she let her mother's family marry? Brother Huan is probably afraid of a fixed marriage. ”

Jia Yu waved his hand and said, "It's useless!" What's the tightness of the appointment? He likes it, and snatches it before he gets married. ”

Jia Cong stretched out his thumb: "Dad, you still have a kind!" ”

Jia Yu stroked his beard and said proudly: "You didn't plant where you came from." ”

Jia Cong grimaced, and suddenly said "ah" again: "If Brother Huan wants to marry Princess Jian'an, wouldn't it be inevitable to meet Han Quan?" ”

Jia Yu said: "What about seeing each other? Even if they look alike, how can they be the same person? She doesn't have evidence, but we do. Besides, there are many rules in the palace, and the two of them may not have seen each other a few times since they were young, so they may not recognize each other. If that girl wants to marry, she will have to wait four or five years for Han Quan to have a big idea, and she may have changed her appearance a long time ago, and she may not recognize it. ”

Jia Cong pouted and said, "Dad, you are a trick on your strength." ”

Jia Yu glared at him, but said again: "Jingzhong has been decided, how are you prepared, Taifu?" ”

Jia Cong was stunned: "Huh? What Taifu? ”

Jia Yu said: "Lin Hai." I've decided on the official, it's too good. ”

Jia Cong thought about it, and said with a smile: "Dad said it, forget it." He frowned and thought for a long time, and Jia Yu urged him to eat. It wasn't until the end of the meal that he said, "If you don't use Han Quan as a hook, I'm afraid I won't be able to coax Uncle Lin over us." ”

Jia Yu was busy coaxing Meng'er to eat at this time, and he didn't reply when he heard the words: "You can look at it, just don't reveal it." ”

Jia Cong answered and went down to write a letter to Jia Huan. After writing it, I picked it up and read it from the beginning, and added the section where Jia Yu said, "Since he likes it, he snatched it before he got married".

The flowers bloom two and one branch each, turn over and talk about the Wuyuan. The old men received notes one after another writing about the situation in Beijing. At first, I saw Fang Xiong wantonly killing ministers, standing in the hall and crying, some scolding, and some scolding. Lin Hai returned to the house and sighed and said to Su Zheng: "No wonder Cong'er has to lock us up here. Otherwise, I will die in the first batch, and you will inevitably be in the second batch. ”

Su Zheng said: "It's just that I'm trapped here, I can't do anything with my anger, and I'm depressed." ”

Who knew that the next day a note was delivered, which read: "If you think that you will be filled with righteous indignation, and if there is a poem condemning the thief, you can write it and put it in the hall, and the general will transcribe it and spread it on the streets of Beijing, and you will not be allowed to write it in vain." ”

Lin Hai was dumbfounded! After a while, he shook his head: "It's useless to be a scholar!" He threw up his sleeves and departed.

Later, he knew that the Imperial Forest Army had returned to Beijing, thinking that the saint would also return to the court, and he was clamoring to go back to Beijing; But no one paid any attention to them. Until he saw Liu Dengxi's house being attacked at night, Lin Hai took the note and looked at it several times, and suddenly his legs and stomach were weak, so he hung on the ground. Fortunately, Su Zheng was beside him, and he quickly helped him up. I saw that Lin Hai's eyes were distracted as if he had lost his soul, and he hurriedly invited an adult to come over and help him sit down on the side, and asked, "Ruhai, what's wrong?" ”

Su Zheng is a Hanlin, and he doesn't know how much weight Liu Dengxi has. Some others knew, and stumbled and said: "Father-in-law Liu is the most powerful person around the saint, and he is even more important than Father-in-law Dai." ”

Lin Hai suddenly roared loudly: "Dai Quan! Is Dai Quan still alive? ”

They left a note to ask about it, and after a few days, the "last general" replied, "Father-in-law Dai Quan is still alive, and now he is in the palace to take care of the queen mother." ”

Only then did the old men remember that although the first emperor died, the queen mother was still there! Lin Hai scolded: "What a cunning old thing! ”

A few days later, the five princes ascended the throne again, and the remaining two princes were sent out of Beijing. Lin Hai was completely dead, and he couldn't eat or sleep well for several days.

Su Zheng persuaded: "Is the virtuous king a last resort? The saint went nowhere. ”

Lin Hai sneered: "Apart from him, who else will kill Liu Dengxi?" Dai Quan is alive. Although this dynasty did not set up a brocade guard, there were still people in the imperial court who were in charge of secret visits, and King Xian and Liu Dengxi used to manage this together. ”

Su Zheng suddenly realized: "Father-in-law Liu knows too many things!" ”

Lin Hai sighed: "It's not that he knows too much, it's that he is both capable and loyal." To tell the truth, Dai Quan may not be as loyal as him. Those people who are still alive in the DPRK today, except for Situ Pan, who knows that Liu Dengxi is so important and must be killed? ”

Su Zheng was silent for a long time, and sighed: "How can anyone in the heavenly family not want to sit on a chair." Moreover, he is not self-reliant, and he is still afraid of the name behind him. ”

Lin Hai shook his head and said no more.

The next day the old man fell ill, and he was sick for more than a month. Lang Zhong, who came to see a doctor for him, was obviously a military doctor, and he couldn't make up for anything other than seeing a doctor. By the time Lin Hai recovered from his illness, King Chen had already left Beijing. Although Lin Hai's body is better, his spirit is much worse. Su Zheng persuaded him to read poems and books to raise flowers and plants, and also wrote a note to ask the "last general" to send some flower pots; Lin Hai still sighed day by day. The other dozen or so elders also understood that King Xian was against him, and he wilted.

A few days later, one night, when all the adults were washing and sleeping, someone knocked softly on the door outside the Lin Hai house.

Lin Hai has not been sleeping well recently, and when he heard the voice, he asked, "Who is outside the door?" ”

There was a humane outside: "Lord Lin, please don't make a fuss, and whisper!" ”

Lin Hai frowned and said, "Who are you?" ”

The man said with a smile: "The last general is a guide, someone wants to see Lord Lin, I hope your lord will not shout." ”

Lin Hai had already climbed down from the kang at this time, approved a piece of clothing and said, "It can't be that kid from Cong'er who came from the south." ”

I only heard a very familiar voice outside complaining: "He is in Taiwan, I am in the capital, why did I only think that he didn't think of me?" ”

Lin Hai immediately recognized that it was Jia Huan and scolded: "I know that it was a few stinky boys who made trouble!" "One wall said the other wall went over and opened the door.

I saw that under the moonlight, Jia Huan was wearing a moon-white Confucian robe that he used to wear every day, wearing a Confucian scarf on his head, and he still looked like a child, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know what day it is." ”

Jia Huan waved at him first and crept in. I saw that the young general who robbed the prison that day stood outside and said, "You speak for yourselves, I will go first." ”

Jia Huan nodded: "Thank you, Second Brother Liu." ”

but to light a candle. Although Lin Hai had guessed that this place was arranged by them, after all, he was under house arrest for many days, and he inevitably complained a little in his heart. I haven't seen my relatives and disciples for many days, and I miss them. So he first brought Jia Huan over and looked at it for a long time, and said, "Why did you lose some weight?" ”

Jia Huan hurriedly complained: "Uncle, they all hid in the south, I am the only one left in the capital, and there are a large group of uneasy elders and relatives at home, I am tired to death these days!" ”

Lin Hai suddenly remembered that he was only such a big idea, and the situation in Beijing was turbulent, and it was not easy for him to protect his family among many traitors and thieves, and he also had to protect his family and the Su family. Fang Cai's idea disappeared immediately, and he sighed: "You are also really difficult." ”

Jia Huan nodded vigorously: "It's really difficult, my son is fortunate to have added a few chaos, I happen to be a son!" ”

Lin Hai said that it was ridiculous. Thinking of Jia Zheng's character and insight, he guessed it, only shook his head, stroked his head and said, "It's hard for you to still be a child." "I also think that a few of their children can think of a way to save this group of loyal ministers from the edict prison, and to conclude that the turmoil of the time is not a moment, and to lock the old men here; Although he is not free to move, he can be regarded as saving his family's life, and he has not dragged down his family, which is extremely difficult.

Jia Huan gave him a big salute again, which was regarded as compensation to the old man.

The two sat down on the edge of the kang, and Jia Huan talked about the various chaos outside these days. Nai Dao: "Because we have some dealings with the six princes at the east end of our house, we have obtained a very confidential letter. When King Xian was locked up by the six princes, there were very loyal subordinates of Prince Yizhong back then, and he didn't know where he got his magical powers, so he imitated a large box of tiger talismans, which were the same as the real ones, and all of them were given to all the princes, one for each of them. ”

Lin Hai was shocked: "Is this news reliable?" ”

Jia Huan said: "Reliable. is put in one place with the real one, and even the six princes who have led the troops all the year round can't tell the truth from the fake. ”

Lin Hai was anxious: "In this way, the generals who lead the soldiers and horses can't tell the truth from the fake!" ”

Jia Huan said: "Even the virtuous king has not been missed. I just don't know why I missed the Zhongshun prince, is there something wrong with the Zhongshun prince and the prince Yizhong in the early years. ”

Lin Hai pondered: "I haven't heard that the two of them are safe. The prince of Zhongshun is absurd and presumptuous, loves to make friends with people in the green forest, and it is not known whether he has offended Prince Yizhong. ”

In fact, it was Jia Cong who suddenly remembered that they had been unhappy with the prince of Zhongshun a few times, and they didn't want to give him a cheap price, so they temporarily made up an arrow book in the mansion of the sixth prince, bothering him not to give the tiger talisman to the prince of Zhongshun, the reason cannot be said. The sixth prince has gained such a big benefit from others, and Prince Yizhong has long since died, what is one less tiger talisman? I didn't give it to him.

Jia Huan said again: "Therefore, I guess that after King Xian knew about this, he completely destroyed his heart to support the saint, and gradually became self-reliant. The sixth prince probably did not lack rhetoric and persuasion. ”

Lin Hai sighed: "Where is he who can talk with rhetoric." ”

Jia Huan said: "It just awakened the thoughts in his heart." All over the court, except for those who don't have long eyes, who can't see that the virtuous king is a lot smarter than the saint? Once upon a time, it was only covered up by the bystanders. In addition, the saint's suspicion has become more and more severe in recent years. In order to protect himself, he didn't care about everything, and he was very aggrieved when he thought about it. Uncle, I don't think there's anything wrong with King Xian. ”

Lin Haidao: "The saint is a king after all, and he is a minister after all." ”

Jia Huan said helplessly: "After making trouble for a long time, I still have to go back there." ”

"What's up?"

Jia Huan said: "In the dispute between Confucius and Mencius, the king is still important to the people. ”

Lin Haidao: "We are talking about the ministers, not the people." ”

Jia Huan spread his hands: "It's the same." The ministers are but the people who have received their money. ”

Lin Hai glared at him and said, "Don't steal the beams and change the pillars!" ”

Jia Huan said: "Who stole the beams and changed the columns?" Mr. Lin, say it yourself, the sage and the virtuous king, whoever becomes the emperor is better for the people and the ministers. Everyone understands that there is no need to pretend to be blind. Besides, why the saint was picked to sit on that chair, you know it well, don't you? ”

Lin Haidao: "Since he has been picked, he is the king." Those who are ministers can be hidden with crowns, and cannot be replaced. ”

Jia Huan pouted and said: "King Xian is not your old age, if he hangs his crown and retreats, he will definitely die and live!" Besides, they didn't replace him, didn't they set up his son? The saint did not appoint a prince. ”

Lin Haidao: "The sage intends to set up two princes, and most of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty know about it. ”

Jia Huan said: "It's one thing to be intentional, and it's another thing to be established. If you stand it, you can still scrap it! Prince Yizhong has been the crown prince for decades. ”

Lin Hai was dumbfounded! After a long pause, he waved his hand irritably. Then he asked, "Where is this?" Who is that general? ”

Jia Huan waved his hand again and again: "I really can't tell you about this matter!" It's such a mess outside, and it's already a great favor for people to help rescue you and protect you, and I don't know how to pay it back in the future. The courtyard where you live was prepared for your daughter-in-law and children, and the bed tents and daily utensils were all paid for by me! It's nothing to honor you and Mr. Su, and the other adults are all stained, so I'll have to find an opportunity for them to thank me another day. ”

Lin Hai listened to him first and refused to speak, and wanted to ask a few words; After hearing it, he laughed and laughed: "Nonsense! These are the loyalists of saints, what's wrong with buying some utensils for a few adults? ”

Jia Huan grimaced. Seeing that Lin Hai seemed to want to ask further, he hurriedly interrupted: "There is something I will tell you quietly, but you must not tell anyone to go!" Not even Mr. Su and Sister Lin. ”

Lin Hai hurriedly asked what was the matter.

Jia Huan ran outside to open the door and looked around for a while, then closed the door and came back, pulling Lin Hai and whispering: "When Fang Xiong was rampant and domineering in Beijing, the noble Xie in the palace sent the Seventh Prince to our house in a roundabout way!" ”

Lin Hai was shocked: "What?! ”

Jia Huan "shhh ”

Lin Hai grabbed his hand and asked, "How is the Seventh Prince?" ”

Jia Huan said: "I don't dare to tell you more. It's not that I'm afraid that Mr. won't be able to keep secrets, but it's really that one less person knows about it, and the more security it is. The Seven Princes have already made proper people to raise him, and the people who raised him don't know that he is the prince at all. It's hard to predict the situation right now. It wouldn't be his turn to sit on that chair anywhere, so it might as well be like that. In case there is a case in the future, there is always a bone and blood left for the saint, and our house is worthy of this monarch and minister. ”

Lin Hai closed his eyes, and his heart was full of thoughts. It took a quarter of an hour to open his eyes and say, "It's only been a day in the mountains, and it's been a thousand years in the world." Huan'er, you're doing the right thing. I can't tell anyone else about this anymore, and I won't ask more. had to give birth to the Seven Princes, and Bao Buqi really left a root for the saint. ”

Jia Huan nodded. He added: "It's just that I have to hide you here these days, and I really have to do it. Now...... The general Liu outside...... Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you for long. ”

Lin Hai became more and more curious about who the "Second Brother Liu" was, but Jia Huan had already said it to death in front of him, so it was inconvenient to ask again. In fact, Jia Huan's words were just misleading the old man, they were not under house arrest, but hidden.

"Sir, do you want to send you back to the capital? The virtuous king probably won't do anything to you. Or send it somewhere else? Home? Why don't you go to Taiwan for a while? I heard that Sister Lin is quite busy. ”

Lin Hai thought for a long time and said, "I'll discuss it with you in a few days." Your family is in Beijing, and you always have to go back. ”

Jia Huan nodded, glanced at the moon again, and said, "It's inconvenient for the disciple to stay for a long time, so the adults will only tell General Sù Liu after they have discussed it." I don't see Mr. Su for the time being, my uncle only said that General Liu came to talk to you. ”

Lin Hai didn't know what kind of friendship General Liu had with them, and he didn't know what General Liu's situation was, so he had to respond. And he said, "He is not allowed to confuse us again. Medicine! ”

Jia Huan pursed his lips: "I can't do this." I'll go back and persuade him to try, but I don't know if it's up to the top. They also took great risks to do this. There are more than a dozen adults, and even if he can trust you, he may not be able to trust others. ”

Lin Hai was helpless, so he told him a few more words, stroked his head and neck, and watched Jia Huan tiptoe open the door, sneaking out like a thief, and the whole figure gradually disappeared in the moonlight. For a while, I had a lot of thoughts in my heart, and I returned to the case and wrote a rehearsal with more than 500 words. Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
