The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Situ Cen rushed to Yecheng, the capital of Java, to mediate in finding the King of Shu.A guest visited at night, and it turned out to be his ninth uncle Yan Wang Situ Pan.Situ Pan said: "Do you know where King Qin was when Qin joined the Federation?"

"where."

"Java." Situ Pan said, "He doesn't know about Qin's entry into the federation at all."

Situ Cen was stunned for a moment: "Why did he come to Java?"

Situ Pan shook his head and said: "Young and ignorant, and there is no reliable elder to teach and support. Zhao Wang coaxed him to travel abroad so that Prime Minister Zhu Tong could reform the tax system. At his age, how could he be tempted to play freely. Zhao Wang was originally a child of the Situ family. , actually helped outsiders to coax his cousin and lead him to come here by boat. Java is not close to China, and the two of them are playful. When the news came, Qin had been sold by Zhu Tong, Liu Shu and the Gao family. Almost a whole year."

Situ Cen thought: "Last time Uncle Nine...well, that fake King Yan in Beijing invited all kings to a banquet in the Forbidden City, and King Qin was at the banquet. My brother said that he and King Zhao were laughing and playing carelessly. No lungs."

Situ Pan sneered and said, "When you think about it, when you were fourteen or five years old, would you rather be the ruler of a country and not be able to leave Chengdu all the year round, or would you like to leave your parents' control and play around? Last year in the capital, Jia Cong showed them Several stacks of photos made them bluff from ear to ear. Now they have gone to Wei Ruoheng with a letter of introduction written by Jia Cong himself, and are determined to spend three years traveling all over South America. My Yueer has been to South America According to their playing style, it will take at least six years to complete the journey. The King of Qin has forgotten the State of Qin, and the King of Zhao has given away the State of Zhao long ago. The two of them only have fun in their hearts. Wang's opera girl is on the sidelines. That woman also has an extremely wild temperament, and she wishes she could play for the rest of her life."

Situ Cen said: "Tell me about my age, even now. If my surname is not Situ, or if my brother treats me badly, I will leave early. I want to go to South America, North America, Africa, Australia. According to Uncle Jiu, the Federation purposely brought my brother to Java so that it could seize the Kingdom of Shu?"

Situ Pan looked at him and said, "I guess, they purposely brought your brother to Java, so that you can also come here."

Situ Cen thought for a while and said, "I've been in the capital these days, and I really didn't think that Jia Cong wanted to take over the Kingdom of Shu."

Situ Pan sighed: "Jia Cong is neither a prince nor an emperor. A few years ago, his wife was pregnant, and the pregnancy reaction was severe. He, the regent, took a three-month leave to go back to the house to take care of him. Just think about it, you My brother can have so much free time."

"It would be nice if he could spare time to take a look in ten days."

Situ Pan nodded: "The federation is so big and there are so many official affairs, Jia Cong doesn't care about everything. I thought it was because the old man surnamed Zhan took revenge for his master when Yan Kingdom became like this. When I went back last time, Da Jiala saw Third Aunt Qin, she told me the truth. Apart from Zhan Bushi, there are also Jia Xu, Jia Daishan’s youngest son, and Feng Ziying. All three of them think that Jia Cong will not try to conquer the world if I am still in Yan State. .”

Situ Cen gritted his teeth: "That old man... happily walking birds and playing cats all day long is like a skinny Maitreya Buddha. I thought I misunderstood him earlier."

Situ Pan chuckled. "Co-author, you don't even know who he is?" He then talked about how he was exiled from the country by old man Zhan.

Situ Cen was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said for a while, "So, those three probably waited until Uncle Ninth's death before they acted, and joined forces behind his back to help your son force the palace to seize the heir, and send you away from Yan Kingdom? Wait, If Feng Ziying is with them... oops!" He clapped his hands, "Jia Cong is an idiot! Being played around by his subordinates."

Situ Pan snorted, "If the Federation doesn't send troops to Shu, won't it borrow troops from other places? Jia Cong may not know."

Situ Cen gritted his teeth: "That bastard! Signing a contract with him is useless." After thinking for a long time, "If so, I suspect that it was their handwriting that our Yan'er was exiled to the colony." Situ Pan sneered.Situ Cen heaved a sigh of relief, "That's easy. Uncle Nine, I'm telling you the truth. I've known in the capital for the past few days that the Kingdom of Shu will not be able to survive. Cut the mess with a sharp knife and die early. King Zhao is in South America? Me and The second brother should also go together. Isn’t it popular to have a tour group now? It’s not bad to have a tour group with them.”

Situ Pan was taken aback for a moment: "You...don't you hurry back to the country and guard the country for your brother? But as long as you are around, those people have to be jealous. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Shu will be the same as the Kingdom of Qin. The rest are small countries. Top thing."

Situ Cen spread his hands and said, "If their goal is me, why are they willing to let me go?"

Situ Pan hurriedly said: "No problem. Our father and I have been in Java for so long, and we still have the ability to send someone out of the country."

"I'm not going." Situ Cen said, "Don't worry about it. There is nothing wrong with joining the Federation. If my father and my brother are willing to hand over the court affairs to Yan'er, it will be done." After saying this, he bowed to Situ Pan , "Thank you, Uncle Jiu, for your report."

So he went to the table and wrote a note, only two sentences. "Where is my second brother? The two of us are going on a trip to South America." He called someone over and ordered him to send this note to the Yan State Embassy in Java to the ambassador himself.

The soldier said: "Minister, don't you put an envelope?"

Situ Cen folded the paper into a frog and handed it to him: "That's it." The soldier took the paper frog and left.

Situ Pan was dumbfounded: "You...you are so worthless!"

Situ Cen shrugged his shoulders and said, "If I have a future, the Kingdom of Shu won't know what to fight for, and it may fall apart earlier than the Kingdom of Chu. If Uncle Ninth's sons are willing to play their part, Feng Ziying and the others will have no room to take advantage of." Situ Pan I was at a loss for words.

Less than an hour after the paper frog was delivered, Situ Pan was still in the post house persuading his nephew to cherish his ancestral foundation, and the Yan State Embassy returned a paper crane.Take it apart and see that there are also two sentences inside. "I can't decide. Please wait for a while, I have to take some time to ask my superiors."

Situ Cen immediately wrote a paper frog. "How long does it take?"

A paper crane soon returned. "About seven or eight days."

The third paper frog. "So fast? Has your superior come to Java?"

The third paper crane. "In Malay State."

The fourth paper frog. "Lao Zhan and Lao Feng are both in the capital, the Malay one is Jia Xu, isn't it?"

The fourth paper crane. "How could my mere [-]th line officer know about this kind of thing!"

Situ Cen curled his lips and raised his hand to write the fifth paper frog. "By the way, tell your superior that he will pay for the travel expenses of our brothers to South America."

Not long after, the fifth paper crane arrived. "South America is Wei Ruoheng's domain, of course he's here."

Situ's uncle and nephew stared at the paper for a long time.Situ Cen said: "Does this mean that Wei Ruoheng is also one of them?"

Situ Pan thought about it: "It's not like, it's probably an alliance. Wei Ruoheng was originally ordered by the former king of Wu to attack South America. Later, the state of Wu changed his son. Although Wei Ruoheng didn't say it clearly, it is obvious that he became self-reliant."

Situ Cen said: "Wu Guo's original prince can't hold down Wei Ruoheng. The master is weak and the minister is strong, so Nanmei will stand on its own sooner or later."

Situ Pan shook his head and said, "None of the fourth sons are useful. The world should not be divided."

Situ Cen looked at him for a long time, and said, "Uncle Jiu, there are a few things I've been deliberating whether to tell you or not."

"What's the matter?"

Situ Cen picked up what Jia Cong told him in the early years and what he told Situ Yan last year.For example, Lin Daiyu offered the six kings a strategy of cooperating, Jia Cong copied the national policies of later generations, the fate of the kings in the history books, and so on.Situ Pan was silent.Situ Cen spread his hands and said, "Uncle Jiu, he cheated! Besides, if he didn't help, we would all be dead."

Situ Pan sighed, "I know all of this. I'm just ashamed of my ancestors."

"Ninth Uncle doesn't need to be ashamed of his ancestors. If he wants to be ashamed, he must be ashamed first." Situ Cen said, "Could it be that you are always waiting for him to chop you up?"

Situ Pan was so angry that he stood up and left.Situ Cen was most salivating, he followed behind with a smile and sent him out of the station, and waved: "Uncle Jiu, go slowly~~"

Situ Pan suddenly turned back. "Ah Cen, why don't you want to be the King of Shu?"

Situ Cen said: "The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. I don't want to take on such a big responsibility, so I don't want to have such a big power."

"Once the power is in your hands, the whole country has to listen to you, isn't it good?"

"Not good. Tired." Situ Cen said, "If my daughter-in-law reacts badly during pregnancy, I also want to stay at home and guard her."

Situ Pan looked at his nephew like a monster.After a while, I turned around and left.

Only five days later, the special envoy of Yan State sent a new paper crane. "The superior said that it will take many years to travel to South America. You still have a wife and children at home, so think about it?"

Situ Cen immediately guessed that the Kingdom of Shu was not far from falling into the hands of the Federation.After thinking about it, I returned a paper frog. "When did you plan to let my brother go?"

Not long after, the paper crane came. "After the son returns home."

The paper frog asked, "When will Yan'er return to China?"

Zhihe replied, "After the reorganization of the Shu army is completed."

Situ Cen rolled his eyes and scolded: "Hypocrisy!" He no longer worried about the King of Shu, and simply led the soldiers of the special battalion to travel around the mountains and rivers.

On the other side, a merchant from the Kingdom of Shu led more than a dozen men through Yunnan into Myanmar, and immediately discarded the goods and galloped away like horses.Along the way, he passed the Shu army camp, and took out the waist card of the Shu palace to find out where the prince is.After searching for more than two months, I met a group of soldiers and horses transporting grain and grass, and learned that the colonial governor's mansion was located in Youde City in Tianzhu Kingdom, and the prince was there.Then he rushed to Youde quickly.After entering the city, they searched for someone and found out that the prince really lived in the governor's mansion.Regardless of the fact that it was getting late at this time, the merchant immediately went to the Governor's Mansion to see him.

The prince was discussing matters with his subordinates, when he heard the report, he was taken aback: "What did he say his name was?"

Menzi said, "His name is Wu Fang."

The prince frowned and looked at everyone.Ming Duan said: "Wu Fang...is he the Queen Mother's chief executive?"

"That's right." The crown prince said, "Ding Mei's inability to be kept in prison is because he's playing tricks."

Ming Duan Nahan said: "What is he doing here?"

Tong Buye said: "It's all here, pass it on." The prince nodded.

Not long after, Wu Fang entered the room, watched the son kneel down and cried loudly: "This old slave knows that the son never went to put down the rebellion!"

The prince was stunned: "What counter-rebellion?"

Wu Fang cried so hard that it took him a long time to stop crying.The son ordered someone to help him sit up, and then ordered him to pour water.After a long time, Wu Fang regained his composure and spoke slowly.After the prince left, the king of Shu was robbed by Java and the Fang family, Wang Wei rescued him, rumors of the colonial rebellion, the prince was not allowed to return to the country, the phoenix and dragon grandchildren were uneasy, the sixth divorced his wife and died suddenly after marrying the daughter of the general, the overlord He was ill, and Wang Wei replaced the generals of the whole country, etc., and reported them one by one.Nai cried: "Once I heard that Wang Wei had a tiger talisman, I knew it, and I fell into the trap of the Federation!"

Ming Duan thought: "The theory of the tiger talisman should be in the hands of the prince. But it is also possible that he did not carry it with him, but placed it somewhere in the palace. The Taishang Wang knew it and took it for use."

The prince shook his head and said, "Even so, it is impossible for my grandfather to have so many young officers in his hands. And if he wants to change the military system, he will definitely call me back to preside over it, and it is absolutely impossible to hand it over to Wang Wei. Wang Wei must be the secret son of the Federation. Undoubtedly."

Tong Buye said: "Didn't you sign the contract not to send a single soldier to Shu?"

The crown prince clapped the case: "That's right!" Nai ordered Ming Duan to go to the Federation embassy in person to protest the matter with their ambassador.

Wu Fang wept and said, "I beg you, please hurry back!"

The prince smiled wryly and said: "Even if I fly back, it will be too late. They have prepared so many generals, obviously for the purpose of quickly reorganizing the officers and soldiers of the Shu Kingdom." So Wu Fang was asked to go down to rest first.

A few days later, the federal ambassador sent a reply letter from Beijing and China, which was the reply from Minister of Security Feng Ziying.He said: Wang Wei is the son of Wei Ruoheng of South America, South America has not been included in the federation, the federation just borrowed someone to envoy him.The crown prince stared at the reply letter for a long time, and said to the ambassador, "This is your handwriting."

The ambassador said: "Yes. This is what I transcribed."

"Where is Minister Feng's original book?"

"There is no original book, this is a telegram cipher translation."

The son was shocked: "Telegraph! Hasn't the telegraph not been developed yet?"

The ambassador said: "Where is it? How many years have telegrams been used?"

Ming Duan asked from the side: "My son, what is the telegram?"

The prince shook his head and said, "I'll explain to you later. Since that's the case, I don't bother to go back to the country. Since Ding Mei has been released, let her and Mr. Qiu Liang preside over the joining of Shu Kingdom to the Federation."

When Wu Fang heard that Ambassador Yan was coming, he immediately rushed to the front hall. He happened to hear the prince say "Join the Federation" at the door, and hurriedly shouted: "The prince must not be deceived by outsiders!"

The prince glanced at him: "Do you know what a telegram is?"

Wu Fang was stunned and said, "This old slave doesn't know."

"It's like the art of sound transmission for thousands of miles." The prince said, "People have used it for many years. We still have to rely on people and pigeons to spread the news. If the pigeon is inattentively eaten by the eagle, the letter will be lost. There is no way to fight."

Wu Fang said anxiously: "The son is a child of the Tian family and the grandson of the prince, how can he say such depressing words? I think the prince..."

"Master Wu." The eldest son interrupted, "May I ask Master Wu, if I come to the colony, Master Wu will have a share of credit."

Wu Fang stumbled and said: "How did this old slave know that he would implicate the son! If he had known earlier, the old slave would have helped the son cover it up. Besides, that matter was originally the son's fault."

The prince smiled and said, "Master Wu thinks that everything is good only by following the rules?"

"nature."

"Then it's against the rules for me to be this prince." The prince casually took off the fake Adam's apple in his collar and said indifferently, "I'm not a man."

Wu Fang was stunned. "Ah?!" The others were also stunned. "ah?!"

The prince said leisurely: "It's against the rules for me to make my daughter the prince."
