The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 978

Jia Cong and the prince of Shu sat in the octagonal pavilion and drank tea, which was brewed by the prince.The prince looked at the shore of the lake, and several guards who came with Jia Cong were sitting around playing cards, and said: "Who is under Uncle Jia's command of the guerrillas? They are doing things too harshly."

Jia Cong said: "I am a younger brother who is the most liked by Master." He thought for a while and said, "The purpose of setting up the guerrillas is not to cause trouble for the Shu Kingdom, but to give the people at the bottom a reason to believe in justice. Since ancient times Since the ruling class has been propagating the lower class people, people are divided into ranks, masters kill slaves, nobles oppress people, and officials bully the people. However, the people in the land of Bashu are tough. Back then, they chose to establish guerrillas in Shu. Bashu people are not easy to be bullied, so it is not easy to be numb and accept their fate. For social revolution, the ruling class without the spirit of resistance is more deadly than anything else. And the mountains in Shu are easy to hide.”

"That's why Third Uncle Jia never thought about keeping my Situ family's country from the very beginning."

"That's not true." Jia Cong took a sip of tea, "At first I planned to get some money to go to North America."

"later?"

"I don't know if my eldest niece has read "Lin Hai Biography." Jia Cong said, "Although the old man is still alive, the biography has already been published."

Shizi nodded: "I have seen it."

"After the time when the Supreme Emperor ordered Uncle Lin to risk his life and return to Suzhou, I decided not to hide in North America by myself, but to disintegrate the imperial rule of this country, and no longer let one person have the power to order another person to die." Jia Cong looked at her and said, "Don't say that if your grandfather sat on that chair, nothing would happen. Your grandfather didn't sit on it. Your grandfather, Prince Yizhong, King Yan, King Xianchu and even King Qin Qin, etc. He is as strong as the emperor. According to your great-grandfather's political achievements, he must be considered a wise master, but he chose the most incompetent third son among his sons. He has the right to put his own personal interests above the national interests. I will deal with it What matters is this kind of personal power that has no control and has a huge impact." He paused, "This kind of power will not only harm the subjects, but you royal family will be the first to be harmed."

The prince thought for a long time and said, "Shortly after Master Lin Hai returned to Suzhou, Mr. Jarvis gave my grandfather an idea of ​​joining forces. Over the years, I have thought about it over and over again. If there is a slight difference in the alliance of the six kings in those years, the world will not be what it is today. It looks like this."

Jia Cong also thought for a long time: "Were you born? It seems not. Anyway, in the history books of later generations, except King Qi, all other kings were killed. Refer to Prince Yizhong." The prince gasped.Jia Cong paused, and then said, "Your grandfather almost rebelled, so your family was the first one. Then the rest of the families were implicated, and those who were close to each other found an excuse to do so. Yan Wang's family was two days late. Year."

"Only two years?" The son's expression was complicated, "If there is no King Yan, he will not be able to sit still at all."

Jia Cong spread his hands: "That's why King Yan must die."

The prince hummed: "Besides him, the most incompetent is King Qi."

"So King Qi's family is safe and sound." Jia Cong suddenly looked like you owed me money, "And your family has involved my family because Jia Zhen took refuge in your grandfather. My father was beheaded at Caishikou, and my brother Jia Lian was exiled to Saibei not long ago. Then he died, and Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan and I spent several years in prison and were either beggars or monks. You see, it was clearly Ningguo Mansion who took refuge in your grandfather, but it made our family like that. The implicated law is simply Chief of all evil."

The prince was stunned: "I have already canceled that!"

"But according to the history books, you were not born at all!" Jia Cong said confidently, "When I come back from the later generations, I want to understand that I am 'that' Jia Cong, that is called a thunderbolt!"

Shizi thought about the situation, as if it was a little pitiful. "How about my future?"

"One of the descendants of the Supreme Emperor was in poor health and died of illness in his early twenties. Before he died, he married a wicked little wife, but this little wife raised a son. The son was too young, and the little wife listened to the government behind the curtain, and wantonly searched for people's fat and people's anointing. The Old Summer Palace was built, known as the Empress Dowager Cixi in history. Later, when the Allied Forces of Eight Nations entered Beijing, the common people hated Cixi so much, so they led the way for foreign soldiers and horses. The armies of the Eight Nations could not clean up the Old Summer Palace, so they set fire to the garden. The accumulated treasures have been wiped out. The country is ruined and the family is destroyed." The prince's eyes widened.After being silent for a long time, Jia Cong let out a long sigh, "After that, Japan invaded China. It's too miserable, I don't want to talk about it."

The prince nodded: "No wonder you were the first to persuade people to destroy Dongpu."

"And committed ethnic massacres. In later generations, this is called a crime against humanity, and it is the most serious felony that will never be cleared." Jia Cong took a sip of tea slowly, "Fame has a shitty use."

After another long silence, the prince asked, "Uncle Jia, are you Nezha?"

"Of course not." Jia Cong spread his hands, "Didn't you see that I am advocating science and opposing superstition every day?"

"But you really promoted Taoism." The prince said, "I sent someone to investigate. Although you didn't say anything clearly, there are indeed many more Taoist temples in various parts of the Federation than before, and the temples of monks have declined a lot. Western Nestorianism Churches and temples of the Great Cannibalism are almost extinct."

"Because Taoism is a national religion! The rest are foreign." Jia Cong shook his head, "Niece, you have never seen the tragedy of later generations, so it is impossible to understand my national plot. Western Nestorianism and Dashijiao are very xenophobic. , leaving the risk of splitting the country."

"Then why not just leave it at that and go all-in on atheism?"

"Common people need religion." Jia Cong thought for a while, "For example, a family has done good deeds from old to young, and the three generations of ancestors have never done a single evil thing, but encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, causing more than half of the casualties. If there is no religion, let How do the living people accept it? Religion can at least give them a spiritual refuge. Whether it is too much evil in the past life or the disasters in the world, there is always a saying. Not everyone can be strong."

Shizi nodded slowly: "I understand." She picked up the tea cup and drank it down. "I'm really curious about how the warehouse of your HSBC bank was emptied."

Jia Cong said: "I really don't know. I wanted to ask, but I forgot if someone interrupted me. Maybe there is a way?"

"No."

"The tunnel entrance may be located somewhere you didn't expect." Jia Cong touched his chin, "Or it was transported out by air."

Shizi was startled: "A helicopter?"

Jia Cong let out a "huh" and said, "You actually know about helicopters?"

"It's always in science fiction."

"It hasn't been made yet." Jia Cong said, "At present, there are only small airships and they are still in the research and development stage. The hot air balloon is too big, and if you send detailed work, it won't be invisible. Otherwise... the special battalion will help move it."

The prince raised his eyes and stared at him: "Have you installed a special forces battalion in Chengdu?"

"Of course not." Jia Cong said, "Chengdu is not far from the state of Qin. March over quickly, find a place where there is no one to climb over the wall, each carry a bag of gold on their backs, and then come out over the wall. As long as there are enough people, it doesn't take two A treasury can be emptied in an hour."

The prince was stunned: "The treasury is huge."

Jia Cong said: "Ants moving house can move the whole ant nest."

The prince shuddered: The special battalion can be sent to do such things at will, which shows how strong the federal army is.This is because people don't fight wars, and if they want to fight themselves, they don't even know how to lose.Thinking about it again, didn't Qi and Wu countries all be destroyed somehow?After a long while, he said in a daze: "You always read the history books of later generations, and you are really cheating by mixing it into political affairs."

Jia Cong called Qu and said, "Could it be that I'm waiting to raid the house?"

The son is dumb.After a while, he opened his mouth and closed it again.After a while, he said in a bad mood: "Why have so many state and county officials been arrested?"

Jia Cong spread his hands and said: "I really don't know, it's probably brainwashed... Uh, I'm studying. You should think about how to deal with the present, and the economic crisis may break out after a while."Jia Cong hurriedly said, "The HSBC bank is really innocent. It has nothing to do with it and doesn't know about it. It's completely irrelevant. You let people ask Liu Feng. Liu Feng's nominal owner has long since ignored the bank."

"Who is in charge of the bank? Jia Tanchun?"

"No." Jia Cong said, "My third sister is in charge of finance, not business."

Shizi's heart skipped a beat. "Minister Lu Sangu."

"Correct."

The son thought about it, Lu Sangu was a very well-organized master.Let her stop without reason, according to the rules of the Federation, even Jia Cong may not be able to do it.

Jia Cong said: "At present, the most useful method for the Shu Kingdom is to admit that it made a mistake."

The prince stared: "Where is my grandfather's face?"

Jia Cong said with a smile: "There is a gentleman named Wu, who did a bit of deceit and deceived your wise and powerful grandfather. Immortals sometimes fall into the trap of villains."

Shizi let out a long sigh.After a long while, he leaned back in his chair and said wearily: "Your military strength is as strong as other countries, why do you simply dominate the world? You have to create some kind of federation."

Jia Cong said honestly: "I don't want to die. Shu is not as weak as Qi."

"Wu is not weak either."

"Chen Ruiwen happens to be my brother-in-law, and the Empress Dowager Shen happens to be the niece of Shen Zhao, governor of Yunnan." Jia Cong said, "Take them first, and the rest are just a formality."

Shi Zi was shocked and stood up, opened his mouth to scold but didn't know who to scold, and stayed for a long time. "Was King Wu blind before?"

"Really not." Jia Cong said seriously, "The Empress Dowager Shen is very beautiful, and she is from your country of Shu. She was killed by one of your uncles by mistake, and she was sold as a slave. Later, a merchant bought her as a gift I met the uncle of the first son of the Wu Kingdom. The uncle saw that she was rare in beauty, so he changed hands to pay tribute to the first Wu King. At that time, no one thought that she was so capable." After a pause, Jia Cong said slowly, "How wonderful Shen Zhao is. An official was ruined by others, and I took advantage of it. You can’t blame me for this, you Shu Kingdom didn’t want it first.”

The prince said dejectedly: "My father also regrets what happened to Shen Zhao."

"But he didn't abolish the Zhulian Law because of this." Jia Cong said softly, "If you want to change the Kingdom of Shu, you can only rely on you." The son was silent.

Jia Cong finished his cup of tea and poured another cup himself.Three or two guards on the shore of the lake sang the Federation's military song in unison, probably because they lost the performance in a card game.When they finished singing, Shi Zi hesitated to speak and rubbed his temples.After a long while, he said, "I have to discuss with third uncle."

Jia Cong smiled and nodded: "Yeah. Ah Cen is reliable." After a while, he said again, "You are still young, and most of the state affairs depend on Mr. Idea. You have time to think about your own affairs."

The prince sighed: "I really don't have much time to spare. I'm used to being a man."

Jia Cong also sighed: "It would be great if Situ Cen can supervise the country and you can go to North America for inspection. It is open and vast and close to nature. It is easier for people to relax and discover their true self."

The prince looked at Jia Cong and then at himself, and said, "It's so strange. Third Uncle Jia, we should be regarded as two opposing sides, yet we eat tea in such harmony."

Jia Cong glanced at her: "Remind me, I am the savior of your family. If I ignored the affairs of the world back then, I honestly took refuge in the Supreme Emperor, and worked with Xue Pan to make a lot of money as a sea merchant and then fled to North America. No chance of being born."

"That's right." Shizi unknowingly opened his brows.The latter two stopped talking and drank tea quietly.

For a while, the prince left the Song Mansion to meet her third uncle and three aunts, and told the story in detail in the glass room.Teyin went to the section where Jia Cong had personally experienced the later generations, and only said that he had read the history books of later generations.After hearing this, Situ Cen was speechless for a long time.

Qiu looked at their nephew and uncle for half a day, and said first, "Jia Cong means that Shu Kingdom will not be let go after all?"

The prince smiled bitterly and said, "It's just a matter of letting it go or not, it's just a matter of society's natural choice. The gap in national power is too big, and sooner or later Shu will join the federation."

Situ Cen sighed, "He told me this a long time ago. I've tried my best all these years and it still doesn't work."

The prince shook his head and said: "The Wu Dong family of Red Bones is right, they are the ones who are mass-produced. We either wait to die, or become like them."

Qiu said: "The eldest niece has an idea?"

The son said: "Grandfather's face must not be thinned, so don't think about it. To deal with the economic crisis, we can only follow Wu Dong's family's strategy, send those West Asian items in the warehouse to Chang'an HSBC to exchange for gold and silver, and then buy goods from other countries to stabilize prices. , transporting colonial labor back to the country to make up for the gap. Let’s deal with the symptoms first. Otherwise, I may not agree to it when I come back.”

Situ Cen and his wife looked at each other.The eldest niece obviously wanted power.Qiu thought for a moment and said: "I went back to my mother's house two days ago, and I heard from my father that your classmate in the second regiment of high school has repeatedly made military exploits, and he can defeat others without fighting. He is a rare genius."

The crown prince smiled and said: "Don't look at his gentle face, he is a military commander in his bones. He has a smart brain and good skills."

Situ Cen said: "What your third aunt means is to take advantage of your power and put him in the martial arts squad. It doesn't matter if it's to support your own power or to promote talents. First, get him some real power and send soldiers and horses. Pinch it." Shizi was startled.

Qiu said: "I didn't think your old man would have changed the fundamentals after he went to the south for inspection, otherwise how could it be so water-soluble?"

The prince thought for a long time and said: "He is so young, even if..." She moved her body and raised her eyes to look at her third aunt.Qiu Shi smiled slightly.After thinking for a while, Shizi shook his head. "I don't want my father and my third uncle to meet each other."

Situ Cen patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, you will take the blame for this." The prince was stunned. "What's the matter, if you don't recite it, do you still want third uncle to recite it?"

The prince hesitated for a long time. "Let me carry it."

"now it's right."
