This night, Liu Xianglian went to inspect the city as usual, and found that a large number of people and vehicles were going out of the city to the southwest, which was very strange. Two days later, another group of vehicles left Beijing in the middle of the night, and it was obvious that they were all Fang Xiong's people, but they didn't know what those people were escorting. A few days later, the news came that Zhong Heng's bandits robbed Fang Xiong's convoy by relying on their familiarity with the mountain, and only grabbed three cars, all of which were gold, silver and antiques.

Gong San also glanced at Jia Cong when he heard the news: "What do you see? ”

Jia Cong pouted and said, "Sir, you are the strategist!" Isn't that clear? Heading to the southwest, Fang Xiong transported the proceeds of the raid back to Jiannan. Needless to say, people are not prepared to spend too much time in the capital. He didn't come to blackmail the young master, he came to rob. I just don't know if he will coerce a little Situ back to Jiannan like Liu Tong in the future, or leave him to run away by himself. ”

Gong San also said: "Do you still need to say this?" It's just that now those who have copied his house are all former ministers of the first emperor, and Situ Yanben is not ready to let go. Jingzhong has changed two princes to the throne, and the Imperial Forest Army is being involved by such an idea in Tianjin, which is really weird. ”

Jia Cong was at a loss: "What does Mr. want to say?" ”

Jia Huan bit the walnut cake on the side and said: "Could it be that this Fang Xiong was sent by the sage, drawing a scoop according to the gourd, killing a group of people who want to kill and then grabbing a group of people who want to rob according to Liu Dong's posture, so the saint doesn't have to carry the black cauldron, and there is no need for people to criticize the emperor for slaughtering the old ministers as soon as he leaves." ”

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "No." I believe in Situ Pan in this matter. Now that it's in his hands, it's not so easy to come out. Besides, if Fang Xiong is a person from today, he doesn't need to sneak the money away at night. He should keep these things in the treasury in the open. It's just that it's not Situ Pan's person. If it is Situ Pan's people, they should also leave their things in Beijing or send them to the southeast - ninety percent of the thieves in Jiangxi are Situ Pan's people. ”

Gong San also glanced at a few of them and sighed, "To this day, you still haven't noticed the most important joint. ”

Jia Cong also reached out to get the walnut cake, and Jia Huan stared at Gong Sanyi with two pairs of big eyes. Only Mi'er honestly made a gesture to the old man: "Ask Mr. for advice." ”

Gong San also stroked his beard and asked slowly: "What is the most important thing in Tianjin?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Naturally, he is the Son of Heaven. ”

Gong San also snorted: "What else?" ”

The three brothers looked at each other for a while, and Jia Huan said: "No~~ Except for him, Tianjin doesn't matter." Cao Datong is just a reckless man. What's more important is the spy sent by Situ Pan next to Cao Datong. ”

Gong San also sighed: "After all, you are young and have never passed the world. I thought with all my heart that you were so wise that you would not neglect such important things. ”

Seeing that he looked serious, Jia Huan couldn't help but put down the dim sum in his hand, and Jia Cong also hurriedly swallowed the dim sum in two bites, so as not to choke himself with what his old man said later.

Gong San also glanced at them and said, "Let me ask you, how many people are in the Imperial Forest Army of the Gongwei Jing Division?" ”

Jia Cong replied casually: "The pro-military camp is 1,060, the guard camp is 15,000, the infantry camp is 32,000, and the firearms battalion is 6,000." The total is just over 50,000. ”

Gong Sanyi asked again: "How many people go to Tianjin?" ”

Jia Cong was stunned: "Huh? No one sued me! ”

Gong San also glared at him fiercely and said, "Didn't I sue you?" ”

Jia Cong said: "When did you sue sù? You just said earlier that the Imperial Forest Army was pinched in the hands of the first emperor, and only a few people were missed for Jinshang......" He suddenly understood, "Teng" stood up, and shouted, "Tiger Talisman!!" ”

Jia Huan Jarvis was stunned when he heard this, and he also stood up: "Tiger Talisman!" ”

Gong San also snorted heavily: "The only people who escorted the Son of Heaven and his ministers to the imperial tomb were the pro-military camp and the guard barracks, but there were only more than 20,000 people. Later, the news that Cao Datong's soldiers were trapped in the imperial tomb came, and the infantry camp was opened. Because the tiger talisman is in the hands of Situ Yan, and Situ is in the hands of Cao Datong, there is naturally no tiger talisman to adjust. Although Wen Dehu, the commander of the Nine Gate Infantry Army, reluctantly sent some people over to rescue him, the majority of people were only slowly grinding on the road. Wen Hu is a lonely minister of the first emperor, and his temperament is cautious, stubborn and almost pedantic. Prince Yizhong had occasional contacts when he was still the crown prince, and after the prince was deposed, this person refused to have dealings with the princes. After he ascended the throne, he made his fiftieth birthday, and he gave a generous gift, which was immediately rectified by the old sage. After that, he didn't dare to associate with him again, and he didn't associate with him. The firearms battalion is the same, it refuses to go out without a tiger talisman, and only mixes in the suburbs of Beijing - it can be regarded as a rescue intention, and it can be regarded as a tiger talisman that has never left Beijing. ”

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "It's clear that both ends don't count!" Who gave these two battalions a ghost idea, and the designation was not good. ”

Gong San also drank all the tea, and he hurriedly added one for him. Gong San also coughed, looked at them and said, "Since the Son of Heaven hunted in the east, there have been three groups of people in Beijing, and one is more than the other. You wonder what is going on. ”

The three brothers pondered for a long time, and Jia Huan poked Jia Cong with his elbow: "You speak first." ”

Jia Cong looked at him: "Why did I say it first!" ”

"It's too much effort. You speak first, and if there is no mistake, I don't need to say it. ”

Jia Cong twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "There is no doubt that Li Guopei, who is the most advanced in Beijing, is Situ Pan's person, and his current whereabouts are a mystery. There are few of them, and I thought he was still in Beijing. According to the ability of King Xian, it is not a problem to hide five or six thousand people in Beijing. The soldiers and bandits who came in from outside did not have the ability to search for his people. His mind opened up and he stood up. Let's think about it. ”

Jia Huan glanced at him: "What is it to bring into thinking?" ”

Jia Cong paced in the room: "That is, if we were Situ Pan, how would we act?" Situ Pan's original plan was to pinch the saint on one side and take the jade seal tiger talisman that the saint was carrying; On the one hand, a few people in Beijing played the princes by various means, from large to small. Li Guopei was originally the first hand, but this first hand was abolished by Uncle Lin, so he changed from a bright son to a dark son. Liu Tong is the second step. This person is probably not Situ Pan, but Situ Pan managed to control it, relying on about the staff and the like. Liu Tong set a precedent for support. However, Liu Tong didn't know about Fang Xiong's entry into Beijing, and we tried to remind him of this matter. Therefore, Fang Xiong and Liu Tong are not all the way, and they are not the same as Situ Pan. Moreover, after Liu Tong returned to Qingzhou, it took more than a month for the letter to come out, still supporting the eldest prince as the monarch and denounced the five princes as the puppet emperor. Presumably, there was a controversy within their group about whether they should continue to support the eldest prince. ”

Jia Huan said: "What's there to fight about? It was he who stood up. ”

Jia Cong said: "Supporting in Beijing and supporting in Beijing are two different things. In Beijing, it is good to say; The meaning of going out of Beijing to support the establishment is that the taxes of Qingzhou will not be sent to Beijing from now on. ”

Jia Huan gasped, and Gong San also nodded: "Yes, this is what matters." ”

Jia Cong continued: "Since Situ Pan's original intention was not to disturb the country and only steal the country skillfully, his people will inevitably oppose Liu Tong's support in Qingzhou. However, the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, Liu Tong was provoked by us and insisted on standing up, so there is now the situation in Qingzhou. In turn, it can be proved that Situ Pan does have important people on Liu Tong's side. As for the current Fang Xiong, since he transported his belongings from Beijing to Jiannan, it can be known that he also came to Beijing to rob and rob. Let's take a look at Situ Pan now. Situ Pan's ambition has always been very tightly hidden; And his brotherhood with Jinshang is at least very deep in the eyes of others; His skills are well known. Therefore, it was not difficult for him to get the jade seal tiger talisman from Cao Datong's hands. Since the heart is self-reliant, it is not difficult to imitate the holy decree. It would not be difficult for him to mobilize troops with false holy decrees and tiger talismans. He could even make up the fake news and pass it on to Gan Lei Feng Tang who was besieging Tianjin, and coax the Imperial Forest Army to stay there in the name of 'which of those sons who tested me'. He had been in charge of intelligence for the saints, and it was so easy to fool the saints. ”

Gong San also high-fived and said, "Yes! I didn't even think of that. I also thought that with such a turmoil in Beijing, why didn't Feng Tang Ganlei send a general back to Beijing to preside over the situation. ”

Jia Cong became more and more energetic. "If I were Situ Pan, I would already be 'I have the world' from the moment I held the saint, and the rest would be to slowly and steadily grasp the military power. Therefore, it is extremely easy to distinguish who came to Beijing under Situ Pan's secret order and who sent troops privately. He squeezed his eyes, "It's Situ Pan's people who are pretending to be making trouble, and those who really want to rebel are not." Those who really want to rebel must be the princes. If Situ Pan is allowed to steal the country safely, they still won't have a good life. Jia Cong knocked on the desk with a "bang", "Conclusion: Fang Xiong was brought by the Six Kings." ”

Gong San also nodded slowly after hearing this: "It's reasonable." Fang Xiong did the work of eradicating the old ministers of the former emperor in the name of the new monarch in Beijing, but he did not move the kings and princes. Because the kings know very well that they have no name, and it will not be their turn to benefit in the end by acting in peace and stability, and the more their brothers and nephews get involved, the better, and the more chaotic the situation, the better. ”

Jia Cong said: "There is such a chaos in Beijing, but there is no movement in the Situ family. Fang Xiong was brought by the Six Kings, so naturally they would not make any moves; Situ Pan held the tiger talisman in his hand, since Fang Xiong was helping him get rid of the former emperor's old ministers, he was naturally not in a hurry, and when Fang Xiong was almost done, he would use the tiger talisman and the fake holy decree to transfer troops into Beijing, Fang Xiong would naturally not be a problem. Since Fang Xiong dared to act recklessly, he either had the support of the surname Situ behind him, or he had already rebelled - like Xu Hong, he did something that was not tolerable today, and if he didn't do it, he would die. ”

Gong San also said with a smile: "That's pretty much it." But what do you see the kings have calculated? ”

Jia Cong said: "The kings got our message that day and knew that Situ Pan was temporarily in control of the capital, so they got Fang Xiong to stir up the situation. Once the son of heaven and a courtier, no matter who comes to power, he must first clear the old ministry of the first emperor. The kings let Fang Xiong kill to pave the way for everyone, and they were also stabilizing Situ Pan, taking one step at a time, they were not in a hurry. Judging from Fang Xiong's return to Jiannan with gold and silver, they probably intended to choose an opportunity to rebel in the future, and they were busy collecting money for the time being. Therefore, the kings waited for the situation to develop further. At the moment, it seems that Fang Xiong has occupied the capital, but in fact, the kings are one step more lost than Situ Pan, because they don't know that Situ Pan already has a tiger talisman; And the soldiers and horses in the world only recognize the tiger charm and do not recognize people. Jia Cong stretched his waist and kicked his legs again, "It's just not lively enough, it's better to be more lively." ”

It was late, and the third of the Six Kings' Mansion recovered the arrow book. This time, there are a lot of words. "Now in the hands of the virtuous king, so is the jade seal tiger talisman. And there are a lot of private soldiers in the king. The late life has the following humble opinions. "There's a plan at the end.

The six kings exploded the oil pot and gritted their teeth one by one: "That little fox, pretending to be more honest than a cow!" ”

The rear Xiong eradicated the old ministers of the first emperor in the capital more and more powerfully.

Half a month later, Fang Xiong said that he would hold a meeting of the DPRK. Because the kings of the previous court meetings had all pretended to be sick, the courtiers thought that this time it was still the case. Unexpectedly, this time, only the virtuous king Situ Pan was still sick, and the illnesses of the other six kings were all cured.

Fang Xiongnai said in the court: "Looking at the history books, it has been eight hundred years since it was a soup and four hundred years since the Han Dynasty. Later dynasties, Li Tang for more than 200 years, Song State cracked the earth and barely got 300 years of mountains and rivers, and the rest of the Qin and Sui were innumerable. It is because I am vast, and the Son of Heaven alone is really unable to continue. If there is a king who is not clear for a while, he will immediately miss the country. Looking at the two dynasties of the Zhou and Han dynasties, they were all ruled by dividing the feuds, but all the Son of Heaven had a temporary ill that did not hurt the foundation of the country, and then the Ming monarch rose up. From this, it can be seen that the division of the party is a good policy for governing the country. Today, he intends to emulate the ancient Ming monarch and divide the kings into the wilderness. ”

The ministers were in an uproar! Look at each other.

It's just that because Fang Xiong has been killing people a lot these days, Geng is pedantic and has already died, and there is another one who pretends to be sick, and the rest have either gained a lot of benefits from him, or they don't dare to contradict him, and no one dares to oppose him for a while.

Fang Xiong smiled and asked, "What do you princes think?" ”

All the kings laughed and said, "What the Son of Heaven said is very true. When I arrive in the fiefdom, I will do my best to treat the people well, defend the territory, and be loyal to the Son of Heaven. ”

Fang Xiong arched his hand and said, "Thank you, princes!" ”

Then they divided the fiefs of the kings above the court, and also divided the covers of the new princes who were sealed by the new king; Taking advantage of the situation, the first prince was named the king of Lu, so he gave him Qingzhou, which was originally Liu Tong's territory. Other sons of the brothers of the former emperors, such as the prince of Zhongshun, were also sealed, but the territory was smaller. Situ Pan was extremely generously named King Yan. Immediately, he gave the princes papers, gold seals, robes, belts, and other things, and all the kings accepted them with joy. Xiao Tianzi sat on the dragon chair like a wooden doll.

It wasn't until King Yan's seal letter was sent to King Xian's mansion that Situ Pan knew about it and was shocked: "How can this be true!" "Kicked over the little yellow door that sent the seal. His illness was cured, and he galloped to King Ning's mansion.

King Ning is ordering someone to pack up his things, he has been named the king of Shu, and he has just had a good conversation with Fang Xiong in the court. Hearing that King Xian was coming, he hurriedly ordered someone to lead him to the outer study, and stood up with a smile to greet him: "Lao Jiu, I'm a little messy here now, you can take care of it." ”

Situ Pan said with a cold face: "Sixth brother, you are too nonsense. ”

King Ning smiled: "The meat is in the pot, and everyone has soup to drink." Brothers, I haven't forgotten you, Yanwang Chitose, your fief is the closest to the capital. ”

Situ Pan said earnestly: "Sixth brother, how difficult it is for the ancestors to lay the foundation, how can you waste it like this?" ”

King Ning was surprised: "How can you spoil it?" You can rest assured, the brothers are not mediocre people, they will work hard, do their best, govern the people well, and live up to the prestige of their ancestors. ”

Situ Pan looked at him quietly for a long time, and King Ning only smiled silently. Finally, Situ Pan sighed: "It's okay." Don't blame me, brother. And he withdrew.

As soon as he got out of the house, King Ning sneered and said, "Sixth, you are too reckless. ”

Situ Pan stopped and asked, "What does the sixth brother mean?" ”

King Ning said inside: "It's nothing. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and now that we are all going out of Beijing to our respective fiefdoms, it will be difficult to meet again. Why don't you stay with the sixth brother for a few more days? ”

Situ Pan was startled, turned his head and saw that many soldiers had already poured into the small courtyard outside the study, and he was already unable to fly. Nai said loudly: "Sixth brother, what do you mean?!" ”

King Ning said: "Old Jiu, don't worry. The brothers have all been sealed out, what do you want you to do as the king of Yan? Calm down. You've worked hard all these years, how about just a few more days in my house? ”

Situ Pan chuckled and said, "Do you really think you're trapped in me? ”

King Ning smiled in the study: "You can rest in peace." The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. Fang Xiong has 80,000 men and horses. The people in the house can't get out of the house, and the people in the capital can't get out of the city, what's the use of having a tiger talisman? "Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
