Chapter 11 Into the City
Zhao Kuo was still guarding in the forest, and when he saw Han Qian coming down, he led the horse over and waited for him to step on.
Han Qian turned over and rode on horseback, and said to Zhao Kuo: "If someone in the villa bullies the Zhao family behind my back, I will think that you are making trouble behind your back!" ”
"The young man of the Zhao family is so heroic, and he is protected by the young master, no one will dare to bully his family." Zhao Kuo saw that he was targeted by the young master like a poisonous snake, and he could only secretly call out in his heart that he was unlucky, but he didn't know what had happened, the young master who was unlearned and had a good temperament was so ruthless and powerful, and he could still think of killing Fan Wucheng with a strategy?
"Then I'll reward you with something in the future, you won't take it out to be a good person again, right?" Han Qian asked.
"Zhao Kuo will never dare to disobey the young master." Zhao Kuo asked Han Qian's eyes to stare at him, lowered his head and said.
"Okay, I'll see how you do." Han Qian said casually.
In the following days, Han Qian took an hour every morning to teach Zhao Wuji to read and write, and taught him the Sixty-four Shigong Fist; For himself, this is also an opportunity to re-study his homework and practice Shi Gongquan.
Of course, in addition to seizing all the time to practice riding and archery, Han Qian is constantly trying to understand all the seemingly strange knowledge in the dream, to think about and experience the deceit experienced by Zhai Xinping, the person in the dream, in his short life, and his way of seeing, analyzing, and facing events......
Although it was far from enough time for Han Qian to train into a muscular man full of strength, the amount of exercise and sufficient nutrition every day also made his body much stronger.
Although Han Qian's appearance is not personable, he can barely be said to be calm at this time.
Fan Xicheng was hit hard by this, although his relationship with Han Qian was still cold, but if there was anything in the villa, he would let Zhao Kuo run over and talk to Han Qian, indicating that he had not forgotten Han Qian, the young master.
Such days lasted until the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Han Daoxun sent someone to the villa to deliver a message, asking Han Qian to return to the city......
…………
…………
Han Daoxun's house in Jinling, the capital, is located in Lanting Lane, Nancheng.
The house is not large, and there are only three inverted seats in the front yard, which are used as gatehouses and guest residences.
Passing through the Hanging Flower Gate is the main courtyard, the three rooms in the center are the main house, the east side is Han Doxun's bedroom, the middle is the hall house, and the west room is the study.
There are three rooms in the east wing of the main courtyard, which is where Han Qian lived after he arrived in the capital Jinling.
The three rooms in the west wing were empty, and there were no ladies in the house, and the west wing was sometimes used as guest rooms to accommodate some important guests.
From the west wing room and the west side of the ear room, you can enter the backyard, and the backyard is the kitchen, stables, slaves, maids, and household soldiers' residences.
This house is not to mention that it is on a par with the Han family's house in Xuanzhou, and it is also a big difference from the villa, and it can only be regarded as an ordinary family in Jinling, the capital, and the front and rear yards add up to more than one acre.
Because of the small size of this house, Han Daoxun could only leave an old servant, a servant woman and four family soldiers to serve by his side.
Out of the villa, along the southern foot of Baohua Mountain, the north bank of the north bank of the road galloping, less than forty miles, riding a fast horse can enter the city from the south city in more than an hour.
Han Qian had breakfast in the villa before setting off, and surrounded by Zhao Kuo, Fan Xicheng and others, he rode his horse to Jinling City, and it was just afternoon.
Fan Xicheng was discouraged because of his adopted son Fan Wucheng's son, and after all, he was sixty years old, and he was nearly in his twilight years, and he felt a little tired after riding a fast horse for more than an hour.
Han Qian was able to support it, and he was quite energetic, it seemed that he had achieved remarkable results in riding and archery training in the past month, and he could barely pull out the boxwood bow used by his family soldiers at this time.
His body is still young in the end, as long as he is no longer abandoned and tempered hard, it will not be difficult to save.
Han Qian was not complacent at this time, his expression was somewhat depressed, at this time, he was still thinking about what he had seen and heard after leaving the villa this time, and he couldn't forget the corpses he saw along the way that were abandoned on the side of the road and the government had not yet had time to send someone to collect them, and he couldn't forget that when they rode into Nancheng, those hungry people who pounced on the root of Nancheng like locusts to beg were whipped by Fan Xicheng and Zhao Kuo with a horse whip, and they were driven away after being pumped bloody......
To be honest, Han Qian had been in and out of Jinling City many times, and he had turned a blind eye and been insensitive to this kind of tragedy in the past, but he didn't expect that his heart would be so strongly impacted today.
Did that night's bizarre dream really change me so much?
What kind of strange dream is this?
Han Qian secretly pinched the water jade round pendant in his arms that was sharpened into a convex lens.
The horseman in the house ran over and led the horse away, Han Qian's expression perked up slightly, thinking that he himself had not yet gotten out of danger at this time, maybe Yao Xishui and these people would send someone to kill him today, what did the tragic scenes of people inside and outside the city have to do with him?
"What about my daddy?" Han Qian got rid of these unnecessary distractions in his heart, returned to his own situation, and asked his father Han Daoxun where he was.
"The master should still be in the official office at this time." Fan Xicheng said.
Emperor Tianyou founded the Chu Dynasty and set up the Hongwen Museum as an institution in charge of the imperial court's book collection and editing work, with officials such as secretaries and secretaries and young eunuchs in charge.
At the beginning of the Chu Dynasty, the internal generals fought for power, and the government decrees were difficult to reach the prefectures and counties, the financial endowment was insufficient and the soldiers were constantly provoking on all sides, and the internal rogues continued to end, and the focus of the work of the imperial court naturally could not fall on cultural construction.
Han Daoxun, as the young eunuch of the Hongwen Pavilion, as long as there is nothing important, he will never take leave and skip work, usually until the twilight of the four together, he will not come back from the Hongwen Pavilion, and at this time, a few soldiers and housekeepers are guarding the house.
Han Qian, Zhao Kuo, and Fan Xicheng were already hungry at this time, and they went to the house to ask the servant woman to prepare the meal, and just after they had eaten hastily, they heard someone knocking on the door outside and shouting: "Qilang, Qilang, you kid has finally been released!" ”
When Han Qian heard the voice, he knew that it was Feng Yi, the son of Feng Wenlan, the household servant, who came to the door.
Feng Wenlan is also a native of Xuanzhou and knows his father Han Daoxun, so as soon as Han Qian arrived in Jinling, he met Feng Yi of the same age, and they smelled the same, and they quickly became acquainted.
Feng Yi is also one of the sons of the four ministers who were selected to accompany the prince Linjiang Hou to study this time.
I don't know where Feng Yi knew that he was back in Beijing today, and he didn't take a breath before he rushed to the door?
When Menzi opened the door, he saw Feng Yi striding in with a young man through the weeping flower gate, and saw that Han Daoxun was not in the house, and he didn't care about Fan Xicheng and Zhao Kuo, grabbed Han Qian and said, "Qilang, I heard that you were also selected to accompany the third prince to study?" ”
Feng Yi is a few months older than Han Qian, and he is very smug in front of Han Qian, but his appearance is delicate, wearing riding boots, cardigans, and a belt embedded with agate, green malachite and other precious jade decorations around his waist.
However, if you think that Feng Yi is the son of a gentle and elegant family, it is very wrong.
Feng Yi is really not a good bird, Han Qian has not been in Jinling for a few months, he can be familiar with the prostitutes in Jinling City, and he can mix with other second ancestors in Jinling City, Feng Yi is his guide.
Unlike Han Qian, Feng Yi's two elder brothers have grown up, and Chengyin has been sent to serve in the states and counties below, which is considered a small achievement, and Feng Yi has a doting grandmother to protect him, so he acts recklessly in Jinling City, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, Feng Wenlan will not take him.
The young man behind Feng Yi is Feng Yi's aunt, Kong Xirong, the second son of Kong Zhou, the deputy commander of the Zuo Shenwu Army.
Kong Xirong is extremely tall, more than half a head taller than Han Qian, and because he was urged by his father to practice martial arts since childhood, his body is extremely strong, standing there like an iron tower, but Kong Xirong's character is much weaker than his aunt Feng Yi.
Because Kong Zhou served as a general in the border army in his early years, Kong Xirong lived with his mother, next to his uncle Feng Wenlan's house, and he mixed with Feng Yi all day long.
Kong Xirong is older, but he is often bullied by Feng Yi, but he is willing to be instructed by Feng Yi.
Feng Yi's bastard things are often Kong Xirong's top cylinder, so that Kong Xirong's reputation in Jinling City is even worse than Feng Yi's.
Kong Xirong is also one of the four princes who were selected this time.
"You said it's not unlucky, why did the palace choose a few of us to accompany the third prince? At the beginning of the year, my father asked a warlock to see my face for me, and he didn't say that I would have a bad year this year! Feng Yi chattered and complained when he saw Han Qian.
"......" Han Qian glanced at Fan Xicheng and Zhao Kuo, and said, "You go out and rest first." ”
Fan Xicheng, Zhao Kuo and other family soldiers didn't know that Han Qian had returned to the city from the villa this time to accompany the third prince, and at this time, listening to Feng Yi's unbridled nonsense, he immediately retreated to the backyard to rest.
Feng Yi didn't mean to stop, pulled a chair and sat down, saw a pot of tea on the table, reached out and touched the wall of the pot, felt that the tea in it was not hot, and took it to the spout and poured it into the mouth.
He just heard the slave come back and say that when he saw Han Qian coming back to the city, he didn't lead the horse, and ran over directly, sweating, his mouth was dry, and he continued to complain: "You say, if there is a shortage of people around King Xin, it's good to choose us, maybe this is a shortcut for us to soar in the future, but we were selected to play with a big child, do you say it's obscure?" ”
Han Qian knew that Feng Yi was saying that Emperor Tianyou had rumors that the crown prince would be abolished and the second prince would be established as King Xin, and there were indeed some ministers in the court who were doing everything possible to get involved with King Xin.
It is true that as Feng Yi said, there is a high probability that one of the crown prince or the king of faith will be able to ascend to the throne of God in the future, so even if you must bet at this time, you will only choose a side between the prince and the king of the letter.
And whether it is the crown prince or King Xin ascending the throne, the third prince Linjiang Marquis will not have any good fruit to eat, so those of them who are forced to stuff to the side of the third prince will not be affected in the future, even if they are lucky, they can't expect any great future at all, no wonder Feng Yi is full of complaints.
Feng Yi is a bastard, but he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and some basic priorities are also clear.
"......" Han Qian just smiled, just listened to Feng Yi's complaints quite seriously, and was not in a hurry to echo him.
"Zhou Kun originally wanted to accompany the third prince to study with us, but half a month ago, he fell off his horse, broke his back, and lay at home and became a wasted person - you said that this thing is not evil, is it a sign of bad luck from the beginning?" Feng Yi asked.
Hearing Feng Yi say this, Han Qian was shocked.
