Han Qian was also frightened by the plot of Wan Honglou and the situation they had laid. He did not dare to do anything rashly. Seeing that Linjiang Marquis Yang Yuanpu practiced archery very diligently when he first came into contact with it, he took this opportunity.
Work hard to improve your archery skills.
Feng Yi and Kong Xirong were bored and couldn't leave casually, so they sat in the shade of a tree and passed the afternoon. Han Qian didn't come out of the Linjiang Marquis Mansion until dark, and took Zhao Kuo and Fan Dahei back to his house in the south of the city.
.
Han Daoxun came back from the government office early today, prepared food and drinks in his room, and waited for Han Qian to return from Linjiang Marquis Mansion.
Han Daoxun sent out all the old servants and soldiers who were waiting on him, leaving Han Qian alone in the room to have dinner together, and asked:
"His Royal Highness left the palace today. How do you feel after spending a day in Linjiang Marquis' Mansion?"
"...His Royal Highness came out of the palace at noon. He seemed to be quite afraid of leaving the palace. There was no one he could trust around him. He spoke very little all day long. After dinner, everyone went to the back garden.
Archery, His Highness practiced archery very diligently, and seemed to have a lot of grievances to vent out. Chen De and Li Chong were both good at archery, but Feng Yi and Kong Xirong were somewhat absent-minded. Everyone stayed in the back garden until dark before going their separate ways.
Say goodbye and leave." Han Qian told his father Han Daoxun what happened in the Linjiang Marquis Mansion today.
Of course, Han Qian did not tell some details related to Wanhonglou, but except for this, everything else was explained in detail, especially Yang Yuanpu's unconscious affection for Li Chong, which Han Qian did not hide.
.
Yang Yuanpu is still too young and doesn't know how to hide it. He believes that with Guo Rong's ability and eyesight, it won't take long to see this, and he doesn't need to deliberately hide it.
This surprised even Han Daoxun. He didn't expect that Han Qian could see so much after coming to Linjiang Hou Mansion to interact with the third prince Yang Yuanpu and others for a day.
Of course, the most hope in the world for an unscrupulous son to change his mind and turn around is none other than his father. Han Daoxun was surprised and pleased with Han Qian's change, but he did not suspect anything, and his thoughts quickly turned to other aspects.
"..."
Seeing his father, Han Daoxun, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something, Han Qian suddenly thought and asked,
"His Highness is afraid of the female officials and Lord Guo around him. This is normal. After all, they are all sent by Anning Palace. But today I learned that the person who came to accompany His Highness in place of Zhou Kun was Li Chong, the son of Xinchang Hou Li Pu. I was really frightened.
Jump. The boy was recommended to His Highness, and his father had no way to refuse, but who would think of involving the Li family in this dispute? Looking at the fact that His Highness is quite close to Li Chong, he seems to know that Li Chong is better than the boy and Feng.
Yi and Kong Xirong should be more trustworthy."
Han Qian asked directly because he actually wanted to know how the ministers in the court would view the fact that Li Chong came to study with the third prince if he didn't know the inside story of Wan Honglou's collusion with Li Pu and the concubine.
He wanted to see what more obvious information would be passed on to the princes and ministers of Chu State before the real inside story and conspiracy were exposed; usually, this would be Li Pu, Concubine Shifei, Mrs. Wan Honglou and Wan Honglou.
The person behind the scenes deliberately leaked information that could be seen by the outside world.
"If you can see the problem this way, it's not in vain that I locked you up in the villa for two months to cultivate your mind and character..." Han Daoxun said with great relief.
"..." Han Qian stared at his father Han Daoxun. He carefully crafted this statement not to get this compliment.
"Li Chong was able to go to the third prince to accompany him as a chaperone. I heard that after Zhou Tai's son fell off his horse, the Anning Palace chose one less chaperone for the third prince. The information from the palace originally said that one less chaperone would
There is one less person, but the day before yesterday, Marquis Xinchang was asked about something in the palace. The concubine was also present at the time. She asked Marquis Xinchang if he had a son who had not been officially appointed to the official position, so she asked Marquis Xinchang's son to fill the vacancy. If it is as you said,
It's not as coincidental as the rumors say, maybe the Duke of Eastern Zhejiang has some ideas?"
Han Daoxun thought it would be better to tell the truth.
"The prince of eastern Zhejiang Province has always been at odds with Xu Mingzhen, the governor of Shouzhou. He was also worried that Xu Mingzhen was a relative and would be in trouble after the crown prince ascended the throne. He once privately suggested that the emperor reduce Xu's military power, but for some reason, the news leaked out, and there were rumors
The prince of East Zhejiang Province wanted to persuade the prince to depose him, so the prince never liked the prince of East Zhejiang Province. In the sixth year of God's Blessing, the Liang army invaded the border, and the prince of East Zhejiang Province was ordered to lead his troops to guard Chuzhou, forcing the prince of Liang from the flank.
Withdrew the troops, and then they were transferred back to the capital, and the headquarters was taken over by His Highness King Xin. There are also rumors that the ministers who supported King Xin were talking behind his back..."
Han Qian felt terrible secretly!
He was certain that Li Yu, the prince of eastern Zhejiang Province, would not have any collusion with Wan Honglou, but the news that Li Chong was close to the third prince Yang Yuanpu would mislead a large number of generals in the court, and even mislead Emperor Tianyou into thinking that the prince of eastern Zhejiang Province was involved.
The struggle for the right to establish a direct line of descent.
This may be the effect that Wan Honglou and Li Pu and the imperial concubine need. Through intentional or unintentional misleading, they can change the expectations of the government and the public about the third prince Yang Yuanpu, and even make the prince of eastern Zhejiang unable to stay out of the matter, and finally have to support the third prince Yang Yuanpu in his struggle.
direct descendant.
It's just that these things haven't spread yet, but Han Qian didn't expect that his father would be the first to be misled by him.
Unable to explain anything at this time, Han Qian gulped down the food and said to his father Han Daoxun:
"Today I saw Li Chong, Kong Xirong and Feng Yi. They are all good at archery, boxing and kicking. My son is lagging too far behind. I am determined to catch up, but the house here is small. I am worried that learning boxing and kicking from Zhao Kuo and the others at night will frighten my father to sleep. Again.
Otherwise, let the soldiers stay in the villa outside the city without anyone to control them. Over time, they will inevitably become lazy and arrogant, and the child will think about adding a few more courtyards around..."
Seeing that his father Han Daoxun was still a little hesitant, Han Qian thought to himself that if he couldn't even get support for this little thing, how could he be free to do other things in the future?
He insisted, "I have twelve loaves of gold in my hand. I don't need to spend it on these serious matters at this time. I am afraid that I will squander it without knowing it..."
Han Daoxun also hoped that Han Qian could study hard and apply the knowledge of world affairs, and one day he could become a prime minister in the court to govern the world; even if he wanted to lead an army, he should learn how to arrange troops, and
Don't waste your time on martial arts matters.
However, Han Qian had changed a lot compared to when he first arrived in Jinling. Han Daoxun didn't want to have too high demands on him and dampen his rare spirit, so he didn't restrain him too much.
In addition, Han Daoxun also considered what Han Qian said.
When Fan Wucheng died, no matter how much Han Daoxun comforted Fan Xicheng on the surface, he would feel that Fan Wucheng was arrogant in his heart.
This is the difference between closeness and distance.
"It's okay to add a few more courtyards. You tell Fan Xicheng, Zhao Kuo and the others to take care of it..." Han Daoxun nodded and agreed.
…………
…………
After borrowing Zhao Wuji's help to kill Fan Wucheng, Han Qian never dared to slack off.
After giving the Black Cloud Bow to Zhao Wuji, Han Qian prepared a big boxwood bow for himself, a saber, and a pair of leather armor for self-defense and daily riding and shooting training. He returned to Jinling In the city, I don't dare to slack off at all.
Now Han Qian goes to Linjiang Marquis Mansion to work during the day, and if he has anything to do in private, he can only do it at night.
At this time, Han Qian went back to his room, put on his leather armor, put on his big boxwood bow, and held his saber in his hand, and walked to the front yard.
"Young Master, where are you going?"
Fan Xicheng and Han Laoshan were sitting under the locust tree in the yard. When they saw Han Qian coming out with his sword and armor in order, he was startled. He thought that the young master Han Qian was going out to rob houses at night, so he quickly stood up and asked .
Han Laoshan is the scholar who followed Han Daoxun when he was a boy. He is now in his fifties. He and his wife Zhou currently stay in the house here to take care of Han Daoxun's daily life - they originally gave birth to two sons. However, when he served with Han Daoxun in Chuzhou, they all unfortunately died in the war.
"It's still early to go to bed now. I don't want to disturb my father's rest, so I wanted to practice sword and bow in the front yard." Han Qian took off the big boxwood bow, leaned against the tree stump, and said to Han Laoshan, "My father said he would still be around." Build a few more yards and move as many soldiers as possible to live in the city. Uncle Han, you and Mr. Fan will go out tomorrow and see if there are any vacant houses for sale on the left and right."
"There are people living on both sides, but I haven't heard that anyone wants to move out and give up their yard!" Han Laoshan said uncertainly.
"It doesn't have to be right or left, it could be Lanting Alley or a nearby alley. As long as something happens, you can be summoned in time." Han Qian said.
There is a saying in the dream that says that in this world, there is never love without reason, nor hatred without reason.
In the past month, Han Qian has also seriously reflected on this.
If he had always been the ill-tempered, mean-spirited, ungrateful, and ungrateful son of an aristocratic family, what would he do when his father was killed with a stick in front of the palace and he was a "fugitive" arrested by the imperial court? Do you expect these soldiers to protect him loyally? Don’t expect them to follow you in rebellion?
There are many ways to control your subordinates, but to change all this, the first step is to transfer as many of these family soldiers as possible to the city and to your side, so that you can use both kindness and power.
"..." Han Laoshan's eyes subconsciously drifted to the yard behind.
Han Qian pretended not to see Han Laoshan's reaction and continued: "Uncle Han, Master Fan, my father said that you should all have a place to stay after following him for so many years..."
Han Laoshan and Fan Xicheng were slightly startled, and nodded in agreement, saying that they would wait until tomorrow to go out and look for any vacant houses nearby.
Han Laoshan and Fan Xicheng have been following Han Daoxun for the longest time. They are both old and have no interest in quitting their citizenship and setting up their own business, let alone being rewarded with a house.
In this life, they will either fight on the battlefield or serve others, let them quit their citizenship and start their own business. They have no skills, how can they make a living?
Fan Dahei, Zhao Kuo, and Lin Haizheng ran over when they heard the movement in the front yard, especially Fan Dahei and Lin Haizheng, who were very excited when they heard this.
They are still young, and even Fan Dahei, who has a straightforward temperament, has longing for the future and some seemingly audacious expectations.
"Lin Haizheng, come and practice swordsmanship with me!" Han Qian picked up the straight-spine knife and struck Lin Haizheng with the knife and sheath.
"..." Lin Haizheng was startled, and quickly took off the saber from his waist, holding it in its scabbard.
Lin Haizheng was born in the military. He had just turned twenty. His father and brother were both killed in the war. He was a soldier who came as a reward. He had only followed Han Daoxun in the past two years. At this time, his widowed mother, two
My sister, my widowed sister-in-law, and my young nephew were all placed in the villa as slaves.
Lin Haizheng, like Fan Dahei, had practiced martial arts since childhood, and he casually blocked Han Qian's knife.
Han Qian thought that although he was not in danger of being killed at the moment, he might not know when Wan Honglou's plot would be exposed, or his father's stubborn temper would offend Emperor Tianyou because of his "Literary Remonstrance", so he had to be prepared to fly away at any time.
.
At this time, he wanted to try his best to win the loyalty of the family soldiers such as Fan Xicheng and Fan Dahei. But one day he really became a traitor captured by the court, and he had to rely mainly on himself.
"Young Master, swords are dangerous, just practice your fists and kicks!" Fan Xicheng hurriedly reminded Han Qian when he saw Han Qian slashing with his sword. Although there was no plan, it was fierce and ruthless.
Although Han Qian's sword was not unsheathed, the scabbard was not very strong. If you applied too much force, the blade might break the sheath and injure someone.
Moreover, Han Qian's sword was fierce and his strength was quite astonishing. Lin Haizheng could only block Han Qian's sword, but he could not stop Han Qian's sword. However, if he had to fight back, if he missed it, he might hurt Han Qian.
Fan Xicheng thought that the young master Han Qian would be better off practicing his fists and kicks. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to explain to the family head whether it was Lin Haizheng or the young master Han Qian.
"No matter how good you are at fighting with fists and embroidered legs, you won't be able to kill enemies on the battlefield!" Han Qian ignored Fan Xicheng's advice and smiled at Lin Haizheng and said, "If you don't fight back, I'll beat you until your scalp bleeds. Don't do it."
Blame me for being too harsh."
At this time, Han Qian had already practiced the Sixty-Four Shi Gong Quan quite skillfully, but the main purpose of Shi Gong Quan was to strengthen the body. The real ability to kill enemies on the battlefield or to intimidate others still requires the use of spears, halberds, and knives.
.
There is a saying in the dream world that no matter how good your skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives.
The real so-called seizing a sword with bare hands can only be achieved if the two people fighting against each other have huge differences in skill and vitality.
Besides, on a chaotic battlefield where hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of people are fighting, several, dozens, or even hundreds of spears and spears are stabbing at them, and they run away to grab the sword with their bare hands.
?
If Han Qian wants to keep fit, it is enough to practice Shi Gongquan several times a day. He does not need to be trained by Fan Dahei or Lin Haizheng, but he must develop the real ability to escape alone one day, and he must also use swords and bows for actual combat.
practice.
Only by practicing with swords and weapons in actual combat can he improve quickly, and he will not fall into the routine of fancy tricks and become complacent.
Zhao Kuo was also squatting aside, and there were two lanterns hung in the front yard. There were no stars or moon in the sky, the light was dim, and the doubts in his eyes regarding the scene before him could not be seen.
