Han Qian copied the poem "Du Jiang Yun" and read it silently again to confirm that there were no typos. Then he turned his head and looked at Xi Rong's beautiful eyes. He thought to himself that it is said that literary and artistic young people are the best at sleeping with girls for free. They are really honest and don't deceive others.
.
Han Qian put the pen dipped in ink on the pen stand, rolled up the page on which "Clouds Crossing the River" was written, put it on a candle, lit it, and threw it into a copper basin.
"Why did you burn it?" Xi Rong snatched out the page as if it was a treasure, put out the fire, and said coquettishly, "Your writing is ugly, but the song Crossing the River Clouds is better than
Wang Yong's few masterpieces that have been handed down from generation to generation have a more elegant style."
"..."
Han Qian didn't expect that Xi Rong had also read the lyrics of Changxiang Hou Wang Yong before, and she was Wang Yong's little crush. He thought that he was lucky enough to show his hand tonight. If the heart and soul of this barbaric woman hadn't been captured by Changxiang Hou Wang Yong
If he hooks up and engages in mental cheating, won't he suffer a big loss?
"What a rare thing? These are just trivial tricks." Han Qian said nonchalantly.
Xi Rong ignored it. Many pages were burned and the words were incomplete. She had to complete them while she still remembered. Her handwriting was beautiful, but much prettier than Han Qian's. She turned around and followed
Han Qian said: "You can't compare to Marquis You of Changxiang in calligraphy and painting, right?"
Han Qian thought that his calligraphy was beautiful and he could write a few poems, so he was a fool, but he thought that the old lady and the young daughter-in-law would still do the same thing. If Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, really wanted to go to Jinling, where the life is full of life and the beauty of spring, he was destined to harvest a lot of money.
fan.
The Marquis of Changxiang, Wang Yong, had just arrived at Hanshou with Yang En yesterday. At that time, the news that the Marquis of Xinchang, Li Pu, had led his troops to capture Tanzhou had just come. Han Qian was thinking about other things and had not seriously thought about the mission of the Marquis of Changxiang, Wang Yong.
The intention behind it.
Yang Mi established his capital in Jinling and proclaimed himself emperor after the founding of the country. However, Wang Jian, the leader of Shu, professed his vassalage to the stronger Liang State, but it was only a formality. In fact, Shu State had a closer relationship with Dachu, and had no ambitions for Liang State.
Be more alert.
If the Third Prince seems to have almost wiped out the Tanzhou rebels now, Wang Jian, the leader of Shu, is worried that Chu will retaliate against the Shu army for threatening and containing the Jingzhou troops in the next year. It would be reasonable to send an important person to Chu to lobby at this time.
It was lucky, but when Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, sailed eastward with Yang En, Li Zhigao and other troops had just entered the Yuanjiang River, and the battle in Tanzhou was still in a stalemate.
Judging from the situation at that time, Da Chu was even more eager to ask the Shu army to withdraw from Yiling so that Zhang Wei's troops in Jingzhou could not be restrained. Wang Jian, the leader of Shu, agreed to peace talks at that time, which was already the greatest goodwill to Da Chu.
There was absolutely no need to send someone as important as his second son Wang Yong as an envoy to Jinling.
Was it Wang Yong who was worried about being persecuted by his brother Wang Hongyi and asked to be sent to Jinling as an envoy to escape from the land of right and wrong?
And if the young man next to Changxiang Hou Wangyong is really the Qingyang Princess, then Changxiang Hou Wangyong went to Jinling as an envoy with the purpose of marriage, so that Chu and Shu can establish a more stable alliance?
Zhao Wuji had been away for more than two months. Han Qian asked him to stay in Hanshou and stay with his sister Zhao Ting'er for two more days. He immediately called Xi Fa'er to the tent and asked: "You guys are coming back all the way. Those three women disguised as men next to Changxiang Marquis
Fake boy, do you sleep in a separate room with the Marquis of Changxiang at night?"
The fake boy next to Wang Yong may be dressed up by Princess Qingyang, or he may be brought by Wang Yong to comfort Mei Ji who is lonely during the journey. Han Qian needs to figure this out first.
"They sleep in separate rooms, and the other two fake boys disguised as men should be his maids." Xi Faer escorted Yang En all the way, and Wang Yong and others came over. They saw many things, but they didn't have the chance to report to Han Qian.
From the many details discovered by Xi Fa'er, it was more certain that the fake boy was Princess Qingyang. Han Qian secretly thought that maybe Princess Qingyang was unwilling to directly become a victim of the marriage, so he disguised himself and followed him willfully.
His brother Wang Yong is on a mission to Jinling. He wants to see his future husband in person, right?
Of course, when Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, set off from the capital of Shu, Wang Jian, the Lord of Shu, probably didn't have his sights set on the third prince for marriage, right?
Of course, Yang En is "treacherous and slippery" and it is impossible not to see clues all the way here, but he did not explain this when he went to Hanshou and today to Baimao to meet the third prince, which shows that even now, he does not want to cause trouble.
Go into the whirlpool of abolition and reform.
Han Qian sighed softly and asked Xi Fa'er to go down and rest first. There were some things he had seen through but would not say.
At noon the next day, several sunken ships at the mouth of the Xiangjiang River were dragged to the beach, and the navy warships of the Louchuan Army were able to sail straight into the Xiangjiang River. Everyone boarded the ships and rushed to Tanzhou City.
Xinchang Hou Li Pu also led Zhou Shu, Xiying and other generals early to the foot of Yuelu Mountain to greet him:
"The city is not very safe at this time. There are bandits hiding among the civilians. For safety reasons, Your Highness may temporarily stay in Yuelu Mountain. There is a Taoist temple in the mountain. It was built in the early years of the previous dynasty. It will provide shade to avoid the summer heat. Once the city is completely peaceful,
"It's not too late for Your Highness to enter the city again."
There are hundreds of thousands of people in Tanzhou City. Although there is a certain gap with Jinling, it is also a large city with a prosperous population that is rare in the world. And the so-called large cities governed by prefectures, such as Qianyang, Yuanling, Hanshou, etc., have only a few residents in the city.
Just over 10,000 people.
Among the tens of thousands of people in Tanzhou City, some are disciples of the Ma clan and other Xianghu aristocratic families, and a considerable number of people are slaves attached to the Ma clan and the Xiangtan aristocratic families. The proportion of civilians with relatively free status is
Not high.
Xinchang Hou Li Pu led his troops to occupy Tanzhou City for three days. At this time, it is still not clear how many defeated troops were hiding in the city, how many of the local clansmen sincerely surrendered, and how many had different aspirations.
The city is full of people, and it is indeed difficult to guarantee that something will not happen.
Yang Yuanpu's attitude toward his father-in-law, who had made great achievements, was now a little more cordial, but he looked at Han Qian and asked for his opinion on whether he wanted to temporarily live in Yuelu Mountain outside the city.
Han Qian noticed that Changxiang Marquis Wang Yong was paying attention to the little actions of the third prince and him. He secretly felt that Wang Yong might not be as simple as indulging in poetry and Buddhism to avoid his brother's suspicion. He said to Xinchang Marquis Li Pu:
"Tanzhou is newly conquered, and people are panicking. It is most necessary for His Highness to enter the city as soon as possible to appease people. Regarding the guards, I also ask Li Hou to be more careful."
Autumn is coming in the blink of an eye, the situation in Tanzhou has been decided, and the Shu and Chu countries have to reach a final peace agreement. The possibility of Liang Jun attacking Jingxiang from Caizhou after autumn is very slim, but Jinling doesn’t know when it will happen.
When trouble broke out, Han Qian naturally advocated that the three princes move directly into the former Tanzhou Jiedushi Mansion. The sooner the situation in Tanzhou was settled, the more beneficial it would be for them.
Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, was slightly startled, but this time he used Wen Rui to capture Baimao City and quickly fell into Tanzhou. His achievements were so dazzling that even if Han Qian tried to refute his idea at this time, it would not matter.
What's wrong?
At this time, Han Qian asked Wen Ruilin, who was standing behind Xinchang Hou Li Pu: "Don't Mr. Wen think that His Highness should move into Tanzhou City as soon as possible?"
He persuaded Gao Long to open the door and lead the Chu army to attack Baimao City, and persuaded Miao Yong to assassinate Ma Zihua and welcome Xinchanghou to lead his troops to attack Tanzhou City. Wen Ruilin can be said to have made great contributions to quickly quelling the chaos in Tanzhou. Han Qian believed in Xinchang
Hou Lipu should have listened to Wen Ruilin's advice at this time, so he should have asked Wen Ruilin's opinion on the issue of the third prince's temporary camp.
Wen Ruilin intuitively felt that Han Qian's burning eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He subconsciously wanted to avoid it and said awkwardly: "Whether or not you enter the city naturally has its own benefits. Everything is decided by His Highness."
"Are you Wen Ruilin?" Yang Yuanpu looked at Wen Ruilin with interest and asked.
In Xiangzhou City, Wen Ruilin followed Ma Xun and naturally showed his face in front of the third prince Yang Yuanpu, but at that time he was not able to leave any deep impression on the third prince Yang Yuanpu.
"Wen Ruilin pays homage to Your Highness!" Wen Ruilin stepped forward and bowed down to the third prince Yang Yuanpu.
"Mr. Wen was able to capture Tanzhou quickly without being too polite and save the millions of people in Tanzhou from the suffering of war and chaos. Mr. Wen's contribution is indispensable. I have written to my father to ask for credit for Mr. Wen." Yang Yuanpu sent Wen Rui to visit.
He helped him up and left him to talk affectionately. After being introduced by the Marquis of Xinchang, Lipu Pu, Zheng Hui and others, he met Zhang Han, Gao Long, Miao Yong and other surrendered generals.
The power of the county prince's palace must grow, and the military attaches and generals such as Xinchanghou and Longque Army must grow, but this alone is not enough. New blood needs to be constantly attracted from the outside.
After successfully cutting off the vassalage of Tanzhou, the aristocratic families in Tanzhou are the new blood that the county palace wants to attract, and Wen Ruilin, Zhang Han, Gao Long, Miao Yong and others have already taken the lead in proving that they are completely separated from their old masters.
, with a no-caring stance, was naturally the first person Yang Yuanpu wanted to recruit and win over.
Only by absorbing enough new blood in Tanzhou and transforming them into direct soldiers of the county prince's palace can Yang Yuanpu truly have the status and strength to compete with Anning Palace, the prince's line and King Xin.
Apart from Wen Ruilin and Zhang Han, Han Qian could not even say he liked Gao Long and Miao Yong.
After the Marquis of Xinchang, Li Pu, led his troops to capture Tanzhou City, Han Qian immediately sent the remaining dozen or so police officers into Tanzhou.
He also wanted to prevent someone from causing trouble when the third prince entered the city.
Perhaps Tanzhou fell so quickly that everyone had not expected it. Tanzhou City was in chaos and chaos, but no one had plotted any conspiracy against the third prince. However, Han Qian unexpectedly obtained a piece of information yesterday, that is, Gao
Long's wife and daughter were all killed by the rebels when Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, led his troops to attack the city.
Han Qian and Shen Yang had suggested to the third prince very early on that regardless of whether the Ma clan or other aristocratic clans in the city, as long as they did not resist violently, they should mainly recruit and surrender in order to calm down the situation in Tanzhou as soon as possible.
Even if there is to be purges and liquidations in the future, they will have to wait until Emperor Tianyou orders someone to take charge, and they cannot indiscriminately kill.
Ma Zihua killed Miao Yong under his command, and the guards in Tanzhou City were divided into chaos. Many robberies and rapes occurred in a short period of time, but Gao Long's wife and daughter should still have guards around them, no.
It should be so easy to die from the rebels.
In fact, most of the Ma clan's descendants in the city, including the wives, concubines, and heirs of Ma Yin, Ma Xun, and others, were immediately detained by troops sent by Xinchang Marquis Li Pu.
Gao Long's wife and daughter died in the rebellion, which was probably done by Gao Long himself. To put it bluntly, Gao Long wanted to clear the way for him to surrender to the Chu court and prosper in the great Chu. After all, his wife and daughter were rebels.
The bloodline of the Ma family.
Han Qian would never like such a person, and would even be deeply wary in his heart. However, he did not have any conclusive evidence that Gao Long killed his wife and daughter, and he could not deny his great contribution to the rapid fall of the Tan State, so he could not stop him.
The third prince recruited such people to serve under the prince's command.
Even if he stopped him, how could Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, let him do what he wanted?
And Miao Yong was Ma Zihua's adopted son since he was a child, and he was the commander of Ma Zihua's personal guard camp. Maybe Ma Zihua never dreamed that Miao Yong would attack him before he died, right?
Of course, Han Qian has not yet found out why Wen Ruilin was able to convince Miao Yong to betray Ma Zihua.
