Chapter 358: The Lights and Shadows of the Old Things Have Turned to Ashes
However, all the clues found by the old doctor Sun at the beginning, after all pointed to this Mr. Jia's head, suddenly all of them were broken somehow, as if there was an invisible hand in the darkness, cutting off all the clues. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This Mr. Jia is the code name used by Fan Guoshi when he disguised himself and infiltrated Zhongshen City. He couldn't beat Di Dashuai on the battlefield back then, and he was seriously injured, so he moved his mind and wanted to put a black hand behind his back and destroy Di Dashuai.
When Fan Guoshi was young, he wandered in Zhongshen City and wanted to seek an official position. Although he was proud of his talents at that time and was repeatedly rejected from the door, he was indeed a rare talent in the world. Fan Guoshi roamed in Zhongshen City when he was young, although he did not get an official position, he also knew a lot of family secrets and royal scandals.
At that time, Fan Guoshi returned to Zhongshen City, and the place he chose to start was that the new generation of princes of the Dou family had grown up at that time, but Dou Bi, the son of heaven, had not set up a prince for a long time. At that time, the princes fought openly and secretly, and they fought fiercely in private. If there is a struggle, there will be an opportunity, and there will be room for Fan Guoshi to play.
Disguised, wearing a human skin mask, aliasing Jia Sangzi, and carrying a large number of gold and silver coins, Fan Guoshi quietly returned to Zhongshen City, which had been absent for decades. After returning to Zhongshen City, Fan Guoshi first spent money to buy an inconspicuous small courtyard, and then only bought a mute old servant as a doorman.
Immediately, Fan Guoshi began to wander between restaurants and tea shops every day, and in three days, he heard a lot of information.
After screening Dou Bi's thirteen adult princes in his heart, Fan Guoshi selected the four princes, the then King of Wu Dou Yuji.
The reason why Fan Guoshi chose this fourth prince is also very interesting. This four princes, among all the princes, are the most forbearing, obviously with a big temper, but they are used to being face-to-face and soft-hearted. This kind of person, in fact, usually suppresses the fire in his heart, and once he finds a point to explode one day, it is a burning fire. If you want to overturn Di Dashuai, who has just won a big victory, is as famous in the court as the sky, and is even known as the "Great Wall", it is impossible to overturn the monstrous fire in the heart of the fourth prince Dou Alcohol.
Fan Guoshi can accurately grasp the temperament and temperament of the fourth prince, of course, because he has been trained for a long time and his eyes are old and spicy. In the past few days, he has carefully sorted out the information he has heard one by one. The combination of rich life experience and down-to-earth practice led to this conclusion.
Selecting the target, Fan Guoshi immediately began to act. In less than three days, in the best century-old restaurant in Zhongshen City, a regular customer appeared in Qilu Building, this person sat in the window seat on the third floor every day, ordered a bad fish fillet, and asked for a pot of good old white dry, no more and no less every day, exactly two hours, as soon as the hour came, throw a silver coin on the table, don't look back, get up and leave immediately.
At noon on the third day, a dusty guest finally came to Qilu Building. As soon as the guest came in, the shopkeeper of Qilu Lou personally put down the abacus that never left his hand from behind the counter, and ran over with a shy and shiny belly, with a smile on his face: "Master Wu, why are you free today?" Or is it the old rules? ”
"The old rule, hurry up and put it on the master, the master has been tired in the past three days." This Wu Ye didn't talk much nonsense to the shopkeeper, and directly stepped up to the third floor.
When he arrived on the third floor, Xiao Er, who was waiting, hurriedly greeted him, "Master Wu, why are you free today?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and set it up for the master at the table by the window."
Xiao'er's face was full of embarrassment: "Master Wu, it's really unfortunate that the table is occupied today." But don't worry, in another half an hour, this guest officer will be allowed to leave. When the time comes, I will definitely pick it up for you. ”
This Wu Ye is none other than Wu Zhong, his full name is Wu Zhong, and he is the chief housekeeper of the palace of the four princes Wu Wang. He had recently been ordered to go out on an important business, and for three days he had been on the road without resting.
This Wu Zhong, after all, is also touting "master" and "master" outside, this time he drank the wind for three days a day outside, and he was already extremely tired. As soon as I returned to Zhongshen City and handed over the errand, I couldn't wait to eat two bites of the meal I was used to, and then find an old friend and sleep for half a day.
As a result, the first one was not fished, and the table he was used to sitting on was occupied in advance. If you put it on the ordinary, you can just wait for a while, but today, this Wu Zhong has just come back from the dust outside, and he can't wait to enjoy it. was stopped at this juncture, if he could be comfortable, it would be strange.
Wu Zhong can be the housekeeper of the four princes, of course, it is not for nothing. He raised his eyes and looked at it, and found that this person was quite tall, slender in character, with a modest demeanor, and the appearance of a scholar, but the clothes he was wearing did not look like expensive materials, but the most ordinary cotton clothes. Wu Zhong concluded in his heart that this was just an ordinary scholar, not a son of a family, and he should be able to discuss with him.
The fourth prince has always been cautious, and the employment of people is naturally extremely strict, that is, the house slaves are never allowed to make waves outside under his banner, but if anyone reports to the mansion, they will be beaten half to death first, and then sent to the Zhongshen City Mansion for punishment.
Therefore, this Wu Zhong is also cautious, and he does not intend to bully others. He straightened his clothes and walked to Fan Guoshi. "I don't know what to call this scholar?"
Fan Guoshi was drinking when he heard someone greeting him, and slowly raised his head. The two of them met at this moment, and Wu Zhong suddenly shocked the scholar in front of him as a celestial! "Ahh This person is introverted and restrained, and he is really a celebrity! ”
It's not a celebrity, the one in front of you, but in only three years, he helped the Great Khan of Tuliao to unify the cattle people of the northern grasslands. His ability can be counted in the world. Wu Zhong is worthy of being in the imperial capital for a long time, and he is a rich and noble person who comes and goes, and he has long practiced a pair of fiery eyes and sees people very accurately.
When the words came to his lips, Wu Zhong temporarily changed his words: "This scholar is so leisurely, can you allow Wu to be here?" ”
Fan Guoshi arched his hand, "Please." ”
"Little Er, last pot of the best old Mijing wine! Six kinds of old vinegar. Fast! Wu Zhong beckoned Xiao Er to hurry up and serve the food.
"This scholar, how can you have fun drinking alone, why don't you have a few drinks with me?" Wu Zhong said tentatively.
Fan Guoshi nodded and happily agreed, without the slightest pedantic atmosphere of a scholar.
"This person has a bold demeanor and is not pretentious at all, which is really comforting." Wu Zhong saw that the scholar in front of him was unpretentious, and secretly admired in his heart.
This is all because Fan Guoshi pinched this Wu Zhong's temperament in advance, so he deliberately did so.
After three rounds of drinking, Wu Zhong took the opportunity to open the conversation box and began to talk about some of the current affairs that scholars were most interested in, so as to test the depth of Jia Sangzi in front of him. After three drinks, the two had exchanged names. Wu Zhong already knew at this moment that the scholar in front of him, surnamed Jia and his name Sangzi, was from Langya Mansion in Haidong Province.
This is a great statement! It turns out that the scholar in front of him is a great talent in the world! Pedantic! Wu Zhong immediately admired the five-body throw.
At this moment, the scholar Jia Sangzi suddenly said "Huh" and said strangely: "That person has a colorful atmosphere, which is indescribably expensive!" ”
Wu Zhong was helping his master fight for the position of the crown prince, and when he heard this, his eyes immediately widened and he looked downstairs.
This look is amazing, because this person is not an outsider, it is his master, the fourth prince.
Today, the four princes were wearing civilian clothes, not riding horses, with a few guards, and walking to the mansion on foot.
The reason why Wu Zhong always comes to this restaurant to eat is because this restaurant sits on the third floor, and he can just look at the street in front of the Four Princes' Mansion, which is the closest to the Four Princes' Mansion, so it is convenient for him to rush back at any time.
Why does Fan Guoshi come to this restaurant every day to sit for two hours, because every day at this time, the four princes will walk the street in front of the mansion and return to the mansion, sometimes in a sedan chair, sometimes on horseback, and sometimes on foot.
Wu Zhong was already stunned by the words of the scholar in front of him at this moment, so he didn't think about it carefully. The two of them met for the first time, and this scholar obviously looked like a genius in the world, why did he suddenly lose his speech, and said in front of him that one of them had a five-colored genius on the top of his head. Once this kind of thing spreads, it will be raided and exterminated.
On the same day, Wu Zhong held this Jia Xiancai's hand tightly, pulled it stiffly, and recommended it to his master, the fourth prince, King Wu Dou Yuji.
The fourth prince is a cautious man, although he is thirsty for talent and urgently needs to show him a clear way, but he is not so dizzy that he will regard himself as his mastermind when he encounters a person.
That night, the four princes first invited this Mr. Jia to dinner, and took the opportunity to observe his actions, and found that his gestures were all polite and quite virtuous.
After the meal, the fourth prince began to chat with this great sage Mr. Jia on the pretext.
After a few words, "I rub!" Lao Tzu has picked up the treasure! This is the true portrayal of the heart of the four princes at that time. Of course, he has the education of the prince, so he won't shout so ungracefully, if he shouts like this, these four princes must have crossed over, or they were affected by the wife who crossed over.
Think about it, even if the four princes are geniuses, they have never been out of Zhongshen City in their lives, and what they have come into contact with is only some things in the court, and what they have seen is just the civil officials in the court who play conspiracies and tricks every day, compete for fame and fortune, and fight for power and position.
Fan Guoshi is the biggest hero who came out with a real knife and a real gun, and assisted the Tuliao Khan from being poor and white to dominating the grassland, and this experience also gave Fan Guoshi a unique insight and bearing.
During the conversation between the two, the four princes deliberately used some big words to make official wishes to test, but as a result, this Mr. Jia was not shocked at all, no matter what you say, just be silent.
Nonsense, people command hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight on the grassland, and more than 100,000 people under a serious person. Your fourth prince is now promising a four-rank official, just like surprising people, why?
That night, the four princes had a candlestick conversation with this Mr. Jia.
Mr. Jia said: "It's better to be still than to be still." Today, when the saint was eight years old, he ascended the throne with the assistance of the auxiliary minister, and he could not move the slightest thing that he had suppressed for decades. The cadres are arbitrary and far-sighted. What does the Son of Heaven not know? Move more and take more measures, move less and make fewer mistakes, and it's good not to move. Just hold your ground, put filial piety first, secretly accumulate strength, and wait for others to make mistakes. ”
Since then, the fourth prince, King Wu Dou Yuji, has introduced Mr. Jia as the humerus, obeyed his words, and was convinced. (To be continued.) )
