Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Jia Lian stared at Huang Cong and broke into cold sweat. He was not afraid that the Wang family of Nan'an County would rebel, but he was afraid that when he came here, he would drag the entire Jia family with him to rebel.

This change is too big, and the Jia family will not be able to bear it.

"You don't have to look at me like that. Do you think I'm crazy? To tell you the truth, I just saw that you are not a pedantic person, so I came to you to express my inner feelings."

"You don't know how the emperor treated our family. He turned our father and son against each other! Do you think that when your family reaches the point where mine is now, you won't take any precautions against him?"

Seeing Jia Lian frowning and thinking, Huang Cong couldn't help laughing. He patted Jia Lian on the shoulder and asked: "How was our performance before? But we deceived you? My mother-in-law is now in Qianxiang Kingdom. Enjoy the blessing, hahahahaha!"

"Aren't you afraid that I will tell the emperor..."

Jia Lian asked in a trembling voice, his palms full of sweat. He knew that the more Huang Cong told him, the less likely he would let him go.

"Whether it's life-threatening or not, it depends on what you think."

Huang Cong let go of Jia Lian and said, "I will treat you as a smart person. Think about it carefully."

Seeing Jia Lian's silence, he raised his eyebrows and sighed: "Why do we think so? If the royal family hadn't gone too far, wouldn't we know how to write the word "loyalty to the emperor"? How do you think you want to follow me? My father is a sensible man, don’t you know how the emperor treats your family?"

"You are also a legitimate son. You must have heard how the older generation conquered the world. Later, in order to secure a seat in the court, the emperor's family treated us with courtesy."

"We are grateful to the late Emperor and are loyal to the country. We will never cherish our lives. But now? Look at how their family treats us now. Guarding us is like guarding against thieves."

"Then you can't rebel..."

Jia Lian retorted in a low voice.

"Will your family rebel? We are all veterans of the country. Anyway, our family will definitely not rebel. Anyone who rebels will be punished. What our family wants has always been peace."

"It's a pity that the royal family is unwilling to satisfy such a small wish. They have forced us, father and son, to separate, but they are still uneasy and dissatisfied."

"I can finally see it. It's hard to wait for the emperor to figure it out! The emperor treats his ministers as nothing... You, as the legitimate son of Rongguo Mansion, have been thrown out as bait. Is it possible that you are still thinking about Yu Zhong?"

"Why didn't their family dare to treat us like this in the first place? Isn't it because we, the four princes and the eight princes, are so powerful together? Why should he think twice when he harms us? Haven't enough people from your Jia family died? Do you have to let their family plot it?" You've been attacked with swords and axes, and you still want to remain a fool?"

When Huang Cong saw that Jia Lian had listened, he pulled Jia Lian and continued to move forward, "This is not a decision that can be made immediately. I also see that you are about the same age as me, and I am afraid that you will follow my old path."

"Now that we are together, I have plenty of time to wait for you. Let's take a look at the scenery here, which is not available in Kyoto."

Seeing that he no longer forced him, Jia Lian was interested in looking at other things. He found that there were many foreigners with yellow and red hair on the road.

"These are Westerners who came from a long way by boat."

Huang Cong thought that Jia Lian was interested in foreigners, so he continued to explain to Jia Lian.

"People from the border areas can sail around in boats. The emperor of our country is actually afraid that all the foreign money will be made by his own family. He eats meat himself, but orders not to let everyone drink hot soup. This is really stingy and ignorant!"

"Most of these foreigners are monks, but some of them came with their families. I heard that many of them wanted to come here after hearing a foreign monk named Ma say that there is gold everywhere here. It’s a money grab.”

Huang Cong's face became extremely cold,

"How about they look like monsters? Most of them are not good people and have too many faults. Even the women look fair and fair, but their temperaments are too slutty. They are not as polite and reserved as the girls in our heavenly kingdom. , so it’s okay to treat her as a toy, but don’t take it seriously. I just got a concubine with red hair and snow-skinned skin two days ago. I’ll invite you to my place to listen to her sing some other time.”

Is this talking about Marco Polo? Jia Lian glanced at Huang Cong curiously, and was very surprised by his attitude.

In my memory, China has been very friendly to foreigners in all dynasties due to the influence of Confucianism. Generally speaking, a country is satisfied with being a "sovereign country". I have never heard of a country taking the initiative to invade other countries.

Therefore, Jia Lian never thought that there would be people in the country who hated foreigners.

Huang Cong is an heir apparent. If he had this intention and followed suit, the Chinese people in the market would not treat foreigners so enthusiastically.

"What's going on? Does this foreigner like to break the law?"

This is all Jia Lian can think of.

"Well, it's true. They don't know etiquette and education. Many monks will repay kindness with hatred. Their quality is too low. My concubine said that those who did bad things are not from their country, but the big place in their house is a country. Everyone Their quality is also different.”

"These monks are not as pure and kind as the monks and Taoists here. They always like to show some small favors first, coaxing the people to believe in their gods, and then drag them into the water, talking about the underworld and hell. As retribution, they become spies and no longer loyal to the emperor. These little tricks are very shameful."

Seeing that Jia Lian was interested in these things, Huang Cong quickly reminded: "You will know if you stay here for a long time. They are not good people. It is okay if we do business together, but be careful at other times."

"I heard that they are all extremely vicious people who cannot survive in their own country. Only such people dare to travel across seas and rivers and come out to harm our people."

"Then why do you still bring foreign monks into the palace?"

Jia Lian felt that what Crown Prince Nan'an said was contradictory and their behavior was strange. If they were really so wary of foreigners, they should not have been brought to the capital.

"The Emperor has asked many times. And the foreign monks presented to the Emperor are naturally good people who have been carefully selected by us."

Huang Cong glanced at Jia Lian strangely, "Is there something wrong? Among these foreign monks, there are also people who are smart, thoughtful, and know how to do good."

"In our country, there is no distinction between education and distinction. Since they want to learn well, we have to educate them. Besides, they also have unique ideas. If we are three people walking together, there must be one teacher. We cannot be too arrogant."

"Arrogance is unacceptable."

After Huang Cong finished speaking, he continued to show Jia Lian the seaside scenery. When Jia Lian finally got rid of Huang Cong and returned home, he saw Sister Feng lying on the bed counting something.

"what happened?"

"The Wang family of Nan'an County is so generous! This is a gift from their family to congratulate us on our housewarming. Look, this gem is so big!"

Sister Feng happily showed off a box of gems on the bed table, and saw a polished ruby ​​radiating dazzling light in Sister Feng's hand.

Is this "coercion" followed by "incentive"?
