Chapter 746
The autumn wind blew a few fallen leaves.
Golden.
Kong Daru looked at the leaves and said to his juniors: "Go to the study and get a map."
Soon, a territory map was taken.
The black and white chess pieces were put back into the basket, and the map was spread out on the chessboard.
Kong Daru casually took a few chess pieces and pressed them on the four corners, so as not to let the wind blow away. He stroked his fingertips and finally landed in one place.
"This is Jiangling," Confucius Daruo, "The story of Jiangling is endless for three years. I can't finish it. I have boating girls on Xizi Lake, nine out of ten can still recite the words "Dragons to the White Emperor among the colorful clouds, and thousands of miles away from Jiangling will return in one day."
Wen Zhang blinked.
Confucius said again: "Jiangling was once a capital in ancient times."
Wen Zhang blinked again.
Kong Daru said "Oh": "You have read a lot of books, and you must know all these common sense. I don't need to tell you from scratch. However, you have to travel thousands of miles to read books. Have you not been to Jiangling? I have been there several times to tell you about the local customs."
Wen Zhang smiled and bent his eyes, knowing that Kong Daru was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of the well rope for ten years.
The great scholar did not know the situation in the imperial study room, and probably thought that they had found some clues and random guesses, and happened to think of Jiangling.
In this way, how could he let him get the truth again?
Wen Zhang said: "Sir, the emperor said, you happened to meet the late prince's concubine in Jiangling..."
"Cough cough!" Kong Daru coughed heavily.
This little man still speaks so directly.
However, behind the scenes, there is no lack of scheming.
He overturned the boat once, and he would never overturn the second time.
Kong Daru thought about it and told the younger generation to retreat outside the study room and guard the door, so as not to let others disturb him. Then he said to Wen Zhang: "What the emperor said? What the emperor said?"
"The emperor sent his followers to the south to fight with the Shen family who were looking for the prince's concubine. He fought to the death and did not let the news of the birth of the fourth son come back to the capital," Wen Zhang said, "And sir, you hid in the fourth son with your fourth son for three days and three nights. After you escaped from danger, you simply handled the funeral with the prince's concubines and brought the fourth son back."
Kong Daru sat upright with a serious expression.
He looked at Wen Zhang without a moment.
The little boy has bright eyes and speaks openly.
If it were just speculation, after twenty years, the Fourth Young Master and the Ding'an Marquis' Mansion would not be able to guess the "three days and three nights".
Only the emperor knows this detail.
It sounds like this that the emperor confessed to the fourth son.
It's pretty good.
Almost subconsciously, Kong Daru breathed a sigh of relief.
This secret has been buried in his heart for too many years.
For the safety of the fourth young master, he had to hide the truth back then, but he was also a pity.
Therefore, after Princess Yongshou's death, Kong Daru urgently wrote a letter and asked Xiao Shier to deliver it to the emperor.
The crisis is resolved. No matter how the emperor wants to recognize his son, the fourth son should know his life experience. The fourth son has the right and should also know it.
However, the emperor was so secretive that Kong Daru could only give tactful advice.
If the emperor insists on hiding it to the end, then Kong Daru, as an insider, can only bring this truth to the ground.
Fortunately, the emperor still told me frankly.
"So," Kong Daru looked at Wen Zhang and asked, "You are here to verify for your brother-in-law and sister. Is what the emperor said true?"
Wen Zhang said: "The emperor heard you about the old things in Jiangling City, and the teacher's personal experience will definitely be more detailed.
My brother-in-law lost her mother when she was born, because her birthday was her mother's death day, and her brother-in-law never had her birthday.
He has been troubled by his life experience over the years. He wants to learn more about his biological mother when she was in trouble and have a thought.
Originally, my brother-in-law wanted to come to Lin'an in person to inquire with the husband and also to go to Jiangling to worship his biological mother, but he was unable to leave Beijing for the time being."
Kong Daru touched his beard.
At a young age, he speaks one by one and sells miserably and so smoothly.
The fourth young master didn't believe in the father in the imperial study and wanted to testify more, but Wen Zhang said it, which was both round and touching.
"Never stops the birthday" or "think about it", this kind of distressing saying is the same as the last time "I don't know which direction I kowtow to".
This is a trick, don’t be afraid of the old, just be easy to use.
Kong Daru thought it was very useful, and it made people feel moved and distressed.
No wonder he didn't check it last time and was slutted by Wen Zhang.
"It's an old thing twenty years ago," Kong Daru sighed, "I am still very impressed by the experience."
In this life, people will encounter all kinds of things, but they are full of crises and avoid escaping and escaping, but they rarely encounter them, and they don’t want to encounter them at all.
If you really meet, you will remember it in your heart.
Even if many years have passed, I will occasionally dream of the scene at that time.
This is how Kong Daru.
When he was young, he studied and his family was well-off. He could not compare with his noble children. He was also a scholarly young man and had never caused trouble for the gangsters.
After becoming famous, the students respected him. He acted well. Although he traveled all year round, he had good luck and smooth sailing.
When there is indeed a strong wind and flood, you will be in a state of embarrassment and your life will be worry-free.
Only Jiangling once did he really put his head on his waist.
"When I happened to meet the prince's concubine, her belly was already quite old," Kong Daru recalled, "Just in Jiangling City, she lived in a house behind the Dongyuelai Inn in Chengdong. The mother-in-law was very familiar with her and took care of her health.
I didn't bother her, and I went to the emperor to write a letter and settled down nearby.
Later, the pursuers entered Jiangling City..."
That was the hardest time.
The pursuers sent by the Shen family held a tracing order in their hands, saying that the portrait was a woman who had committed a crime and asked the yamen to find someone from door to door.
Kong Daru was familiar with the prefect of Jiangling and gave him some advice in private. He didn't know whether the woman was in Jiangling or not. Such investigation would make people panic, so it would be better to deal with it and make an undercover investigation.
When the yamen secretly visited, the upper and lower levels did not expect that the woman who committed the crime was a big belly.
As soon as the neighbors said that there was only an old lady in her sixties and a pregnant woman who was almost full term, she took a detour.
The pursuers were also looking for them. Kong Daru thought of some solutions and cooperated with the emperor's personal followers, which misled them several times, but unfortunately, he still failed.
Kong Daru did not say it in detail, but these straightforward narrative processes still shocked Wen Zhang.
"The princess is very sensitive. She discovered the changes around her surroundings early in the morning, and it was because of her stomach..." Kong Daru sighed, "The pursuers found out that the pregnant woman in this family was an outsider, and became suspicious and came to the door..."
Prince Yu did not hide anymore, so he summoned two relatives who were guarding nearby and quickly left with them.
