    <!¡ª¡ª> ¡­¡­ ¡­¡­ People¡¯s highest evaluation of a wise man is often the words ¡°there are no strategies left behind¡±.  But in fact, whether a person can "calculate all strategies" depends not on how smart he is, nor on how brilliant his past knowledge is, but on how much key information he has mastered.  As long as you have more and more critical information, even a fool can control a wise man.  Lu De is a smart man, but he has left Nanjing in the past few days and does not understand the changes in the situation in Nanjing.  Therefore, Lu De is not aware that the situation in Nanjing has now undergone a huge change.  That is - the spokesperson of the "Zhao Party" in Nanjing, Huo Zhengyuan, a bachelor who has always been cautious, foresight and lack of decision-making, unexpectedly showed great courage and was determined to give it a try and seize chestnuts from the fire, while the people in Nanjing city  The current chaos is all caused by Huo Zhengyuan forcing the "United Shipping Company" to take the lead in causing trouble.  Because of the lack of this key information, after Lu De heard the detailed explanation from the Nanjing defender Xiaoqi, his inference was biased.  According to the explanation of the defender Xiaoqi, the direct reason why the situation in Nanjing suddenly got out of control was the call led by the "United Shipping Company", which publicly accused Nanjing's high-level power struggle of disrupting the normal order of the people, so it led merchants to go on strike and river workers to  Strikes, student strikes.  But in the final analysis, the "United Shipping Company" is just a combination of interests of a group of businessmen. How can it have the courage to take the initiative to stir up trouble and further disrupt the situation at this sensitive time?  There must be a big shot driving and emboldening the "United Shipping Company" behind the scenes!  But who is driving the "United Shipping Line" behind the scenes?  Because of insufficient information, Lu De first ruled out the correct answer - that is, Huo Zhengyuan - in Lu De's impression, Huo Zhengyuan definitely did not have such courage.  Then, Lu De pointed his suspicion at the seventh prince Zhu Hejian.  The reason is also very simple. The "United Shipping Company" is a group of merchants' interests. All forces have penetrated it and can exert influence on it. However, if you want to drive the "United Shipping Company" to take risks and take the lead in making trouble, you must  We need the full support of Qian Lai, the Nanjing boss of "United Shipping Company"!  The official backer of shopkeeper Qian was the Nanjing garrison eunuch Xi Cheng; and the Nanjing garrison eunuch Xi Cheng was the political ally of the seventh prince Zhu Hejian in Nanjing; therefore, with the support of Xicheng, Zhu Hejian naturally  The ability to put pressure on money to drive "United Shipping Lines" to do things.  At the same time, because some of the "Chaofeng" dead soldiers had their whereabouts exposed by fighting with another group of thugs in Nanjing yesterday evening and were being hunted down by the Nanjing government, Zhu Hejian wanted to protect these "Chaofeng" dead soldiers and escape smoothly.  , to prevent his crime of secretly raising dead soldiers from being exposed to the world, and also had sufficient reasons to drive the "United Shipping Line" to disrupt the situation in Nanjing.  He has both motivation and ability, and this method is completely consistent with Zhu Hejian's consistent character and style.  Thinking of this, Lu De has already concluded in his heart that the person behind the current chaos in Nanjing is most likely the seventh prince Zhu Hejian.  What should I say? Apart from the fact that the final conclusion is completely wrong, this inference is absolutely logically rigorous and well-founded.  Of course, Lu De is a cautious person. Even if he has an inference in his mind, he will not take any action based on the inference in his mind before personally verifying the results. He will not make actual mistakes due to wrong inferences in his mind.  But unfortunately, with the chaos in Nanjing, various variables and coincidences are also emerging one after another.  For example, now, Lu De wants to meet the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian as soon as possible, so that he can naturally verify his reasoning. However, due to the confrontation between the people of Nanjing and the Nanjing defenders, his path is blocked, and he is unable to advance or retreat; Lu De  Originally, they wanted to ask the Nanjing defenders to arrange a team of soldiers and horses to clear the way for them to escort them, but at this time, the Nanjing defenders were already stretched thin to suppress the chaos in the city. Although they wanted to take the opportunity to please Lu De, they could only express their powerlessness.  .  Seeing that he was blocked near the city gate and unable to move forward, just when Lu De felt helpless, he suddenly discovered that a young man dressed as a servant, but well-behaved and capable, walked quickly to his side and approached him.  He saluted and said hello.  "Song Shun, the villain, has met Mr. Lu!" After seeing this man, Lu De was immediately shocked.  This Song Shun is a confidant of the Song family in the south of the Yangtze River.  And what he saidThe owner of the servant is Song Jicheng, the grandson of Song Chengren, the head of the Song family, a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, the youngest son of Song Qiwen, the official secretary, and the most promising among the three generations of Song family!  Therefore, Song Shun's sudden appearance means that Song Jicheng is also nearby.  So, Lu De went straight to the point and asked directly: "It seems that Brother Song is nearby?" Song Shun nodded, turned around and pointed to a restaurant not far away, and replied: "My young master is drinking there. See you.  After arriving at Mr. Lu, he sent a villain to invite Mr. Lu to talk. " Lu De turned around and saw that the restaurant was called "Yao Hai Pavilion" because of the chaos in Nanjing and the "United Shipping Company".  "Because of the call for a market strike, this restaurant did not open for business. Instead, all the doors and windows were locked.  But on the second floor of "Yaohai Pavilion" with a wide view, a very eye-catching window is wide open, and someone can be vaguely seen sitting by the window, overlooking the details near the Nanjing City Gate.  Seeing this situation, Lu De's heart moved slightly and asked: "If I guessed correctly, the drinks and dishes of this 'Invitation to the Sea Pavilion' must be unique, so Brother Song has been  You linger in this restaurant, constantly tasting the fine wines and delicacies here, and you don't want to leave at all, right?" After Song Shun was slightly stunned, he did not refute, but said with admiration again: "Hello, Mr. Lu.  Keen." Lu De nodded slightly, roughly guessing why the group of "Chaofeng" dead soldiers who sneaked into Nanjing in advance yesterday were quickly exposed.  ¡°Obviously, Song Jicheng, who was responsible for monitoring this place, discovered the signs.  Thinking of this, Lu De also wanted to take the opportunity to contact and test Song Jicheng, so he nodded and said: "I haven't seen Brother Song for a long time, and I miss him so much. Since Brother Song invites you to talk, of course I don't dare to refuse." After saying that, Lu De said  He took the lead in heading towards the "Inviting Sea Pavilion".  * From a certain perspective, it was inevitable that Lu De would meet Song Jicheng at this time.  After receiving the news that the embankment burst and flooded the Imperial Manor, Song Chengren, the head of the Song family, arranged for his grandson Song Jicheng to personally watch the people coming and going near the city gate and secretly investigate all suspicious people, hoping to take the opportunity to find the seventh prince Zhu Hejian who was secretly breeding  Evidence of the dead man.  Song Jicheng did not live up to his grandfather's expectations. He soon discovered signs that Nanyang pirates and "Chaofeng" dead soldiers were sneaking into the city one after another, and immediately arranged for Song family servants to follow them secretly.  It's a pity that the servants of the Song family are just a group of domestic servants after all. The tracking methods are so poor that not only their tracking behavior was quickly exposed, but also triggered a series of chain reactions, allowing the Nanyang pirates to also discover the death of "Shao Feng"  Because of the existence of the soldiers, the fighting between the two sides took place yesterday evening, and nearly ten servants of the Song family were killed and injured.  But the failure of this tracking mission was entirely due to the lack of skills of the Song family servants, and it was not Song Jicheng who made a mistake, so Song Chengren did not blame Song Jicheng and still let Song Jicheng continue to keep an eye on the situation near the city gate.  Therefore, Song Jicheng still reserved the entire second floor of the "Yaohai Pavilion" near the city gate today. He carefully paid attention to the entry and exit of suspicious people near the city gate, and quickly discovered Lu De who was blocked near the city gate and could not move forward or retreat.  If the situation in Nanjing was a little more stable, Lu De would not be blocked and would soon leave the vicinity of the city gate and out of Song Jicheng's sight. At most, Song Jicheng could only collect information about "Lu De's return to Nanjing".  By the way, they just sent someone to keep an eye on Lu De's subsequent whereabouts, and the two of them had no chance to meet.  But now, due to the chaotic situation in Nanjing City, after seeing Lu De's dilemma, Song Jicheng suddenly thought of the evaluation of Lu De by his elders Zhou Shangjing and Song Chengren. He couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, and sent someone to invite Lu De to meet him. He also wanted to take the opportunity to test  .  While waiting for Lu De to show up to meet him, Song Jicheng fell into deep thought: "According to the information from Zhou Shoufu, Lu De is actually the secret disciple of the former Grand Master He Ming and the senior brother of Zhao Shancai. He chose to serve under the Seventh Army."  Prince Zhu Hejian is most likely not well-intentioned! From this point of view, our Song family is on the same page as him, and we are both hostile to the Seventh Prince! It¡¯s a pity that although our positions are consistent, our specific goals are different!  The family just wanted to prevent the seventh prince from becoming the heir apparent, and were not prepared to ruthlessly kill them all. However, Lu De had a blood feud with the seventh prince and would not be willing to just let him lose his throne and be imprisoned in the clan mansion for life.  There will be a chance for a comeback in the future. I am afraid that he wants the seventh prince to die without a burial place. Because of these different goals, Lu De has now become the opponent of our Song family. He should want to fully assist the seventh prince to survive the chaos in Nanjing!  Overcome difficulties, take the opportunity to win more trust from the Seventh Prince, and then you can gradually master the Seventh Prince'sThey even took the initiative to lure the seventh prince to commit more serious crimes, and finally waited for an opportunity to stab him in the back, which not only caused the seventh prince to fall from his peak, but also ruined his reputation and ruined his reputation again.  Lifeless!  What's more, Zhou Shoufu also has other plans for Lu De. He doesn't want to alert the enemy and ruin Lu De's plan. He seems to regard him as a back-up to deal with the Seventh Prince. If the Nanjing layout fails in the end, Lu De can still be counted on in the future.  Work wonders Therefore, I need to think carefully about how I should contact Lu De, test Lu De, or even wait for an opportunity to take advantage of him!  " And just when Song Jicheng was thinking like this, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from downstairs, and turned around to see Lu De going upstairs. Song Jicheng immediately calmed down his thoughts, stood up to greet them in a friendly manner, and raised his voice  He smiled and said: "Brother Lu, I haven't seen you for a few days. I originally thought you had been studying behind closed doors. Although I wanted to invite you to get together many times, I didn't dare to disturb you at will. It wasn't until I saw you in the city today that I realized who you were.  He went to hide in a villa outside the city for some peace and quiet!  " Then, without waiting for Lu De's response, Song Jicheng took Lu De's hands and asked with a concerned expression: "If I had known in advance that Brother Lu was staying in a courtyard outside the city these days, I would definitely have been unable to bear it.  worried!  You also know that just late at night the night before yesterday, a flood rushed out of the embankment east of Nanjing City. Not only did it submerge the imperial village downstream, but the people nearby also suffered disaster I remember that the Lu Family Villa was adjacent to the collapse of the embankment.  The embankments are not far apart. Brother Lu was not in danger at that time, right?  " Hearing Song Jicheng's seemingly concerned but actually insinuating inquiry, Lu De's expression remained unchanged, he nodded and smiled and said: "Thank you, Brother Song, for your concern. The flood did not affect the Lu family's land. I only came the next day.  After hearing the news about the flood, I hurried back to Nanjing.  " Song Jicheng nodded happily: "That's good!  That's good!  Brother Lu, you should be more careful in the future. You are the most promising talented person in the south of the Yangtze River and a direct descendant of the Lu family. As long as you follow the steps and don't take the initiative to provoke powerful enemies, you are destined to prosper in the future. You should never be in danger.  , let alone be involved in danger personally. If any accident occurs, it will be a huge loss to the entire Jiangnan Shilin.  " These words still have meaning, and they seem to be hidden warnings. "The first talented man in Jiangnan?  Lu De shook his head and laughed: "If Zhao Shancai hadn't suddenly died of illness after going to Beijing, how could this title be on my head?"  Not to mention Zhao Shancai, Brother Song, you have followed Song Shangshu to live in the capital since you were a child, and have been studying in the Imperial College in the capital. You rarely have the opportunity to return to Jiangnan, so you are not well-known among the scholars in Jiangnan. If Brother Song, you stay in Jiangnan to study.  , the title of the most talented person in Jiangnan may not have anything to do with me.  Song Jicheng laughed and shook his head: "Brother Lu, you think too highly of me!"  It is important for people to be self-aware, and I know very well that my talents and talents are obviously inferior to Brother Lu Brother Lu's ridiculous praise is nothing more than ridicule to me.  " While talking, Lu De and Song Jicheng had already sat down by the window hand in hand. Then, Song Shun quickly served Lu De with tea and cakes. Lu De turned his head and glanced at the situation outside the window.  When the confrontation between the people in the city and the Nanjing defenders continued, they asked: "Brother Song, with your Song family's influence in Nanjing City, why didn't you take action in time to control the chaos in Nanjing?  Do we want to watch the situation continue to become chaotic?  Although the United Shipping Company took the lead in calling for merchants to strike, river workers to strike, and students to strike classes, as long as the Song family stood up to express their attitude, the influence of the United Shipping Company would be limited, right?  Song Jicheng sighed, with a somewhat helpless expression, and said: "Under normal circumstances, my Song family would of course take action to prevent the chaos in the city. At least it can weaken the influence of the 'United Shipping Company' and prevent the chaos in the city from spreading to what it is now."  The situationBut it is a pity that since last night, the Nanjing Guarding Eunuch Mansion has gone crazy and deliberately competed with my Song family. All the factory guards under his command have been dispatched to obstruct all the actions of my Song family. The Song family is like this.  Under the circumstances, there is no strength to use, and when doing things, it can be said that it is half the result with twice the result, and you can only watch the chaos expand.  " After hearing this, Lu De became more and more convinced that the reason why the "United Shipping Company" took the lead in calling on all walks of life in Nanjing to cause trouble was because of Zhu Hejian's behind-the-scenes driving. While Lu De was thoughtful, Song Jicheng smiled slightly.  : "What's more, the current situation in Nanjing seems chaotic, but in fact it is still within control. Brother Lu, as long as you observe carefully, you will find that although the United Shipping Company takes the lead in making trouble, it is also doing its best to prevent the situation from getting out of control.  , they led the people to confront the Nanjing government, but they would not take the initiative to provoke, let alone attack. If they were arrested by the Nanjing government, they would be arrested without mercy, and soon filled all the prisons in Nanjing city, so  Brother Lu only needs to watch the excitement, so there is no need to worry too much.  "After a pause, Song Jicheng said againSaid: "In my opinion, the man behind the scenes who secretly drove the United Shipping Company to take the lead in making trouble and causing chaos must be taking advantage of troubled waters! And which fish does he want to take advantage of?  That¡¯s the real key!¡± Song Jicheng has been staying in Nanjing for the past few days and often listens to the conversations between Zhou Shangjing and Song Chengren, so he knows very well who is behind the scenes that drives the "United Shipping Company" to cause trouble.  The person is Huo Zhengyuan, a great scholar.  Furthermore, Song Jicheng did not think that this matter needed to be kept secret, because the "United Shipping Company" was infiltrated by all parties, and all the major forces in Nanjing knew the inside story.  However, Lu De had just returned to Nanjing City. Due to the intelligence gap, he made a mistake and mistakenly believed that the person behind the scenes who drove the "United Shipping Company" to take the lead in causing trouble was the seventh prince Zhu Hejian.  Just as Zhou Shangjing judged, Lu De now sincerely wants to help the seventh prince Zhu Hejian tide over the chaos in Nanjing, and is unwilling to see Zhu Hejian fall into trouble because of the chaos in Nanjing.  In Lu De¡¯s view, even if Zhou Shangjing¡¯s plan goes well and Zhu Hejian stumbles into the chaos in Nanjing, the most it will do is expose Zhu Hejian¡¯s crime of secretly raising dead soldiers.  Although such a crime was serious, it only temporarily ruined Zhu Hejian's chance of ascending to the throne. At most, he would lose his status as a prince and be imprisoned in the clan prison.  But as long as Zhu Hejian¡¯s inner court supporters are still there, as long as Zhu Hejian¡¯s secret management for many years has not been completely destroyed, and as long as Emperor Deqing still has concerns in his heart, there will still be a glimmer of hope for him to make a comeback in the future.  And Lu De¡¯s real idea is to let Zhu Hejian die without a burial place!  Only in this way can he succeed in revenge.  Therefore, Lu De must help Zhu Hejian successfully get through the chaos in Nanjing, and take the opportunity to gain Zhu Hejian's absolute trust, and then have the opportunity to make Zhu Hejian fall down even harder and heavier at some point in the future, and he will never be able to recover.  , trapped in endless despair!  All in all, Song Jicheng was clearly alluding to the scholar Huo Zhengyuan at this time. However, because Lu De's inference was wrong, and because the two of them were always hiding secrets when talking and did not explain their thoughts clearly, Lu De mistakenly thought that Song Jicheng  These words are alluding to the seventh prince Zhu Hejian.  Because the goals are different, Lu De wants to protect Zhu Hejian with all his strength at this time and help Zhu Hejian mislead Song Jicheng as much as possible.  Under such circumstances, the follow-up conversation between Lu De and Song Jicheng was naturally misleading, and ultimately caused a huge misunderstanding between the two parties. ?¡­?¡­?¡­?¡­?<!¡ª¡ª>
