Text Chapter 25

(There is a platinum alliance, thank you Mr. Lan, plus more!) )

Han Qian walked out of the Evening Red Mansion and saw Zhao Kuo, Fan Dahei, and Lin Haizheng all leading horses and stopping on the opposite side of the street waiting for him.

Han Qian was in no mood to say anything more to them, wondering how he would face his father's questioning after he returned.

Han Qian was so painful that he was about to groan, he had just finally passed a pass in the Evening Red Mansion, which had already exhausted him, but such a big thing happened in the Linjiang Marquis Mansion today, he didn't go back as soon as he got out, but was pulled to the Evening Red Mansion by Li Chong, obviously it wasn't just a random explanation that could fool him.

Han Qian hurried back to the house in silence, handed over the horse to Fan Dahei and led them away, he walked through the front yard, walked towards the main courtyard, and saw that the light was on in the hall, and his father was nowhere to be seen, and the study and his father's bedroom were pitch black, and there was no lamp yet.

"It's been a second watch, where has my dad gone?" Han Qian asked Fan Xicheng behind him.

"The head of the family has not returned from the official office." Fan Xicheng said.

Han Qian was full of doubts, he didn't know what was going on in Hongwen Pavilion, in today's situation, how could he let his father stay so late and not return to the house?

Han Qian was hungry, and was about to ask the back kitchen to fill his stomach with a bowl of noodles first, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves and ruts sounding outside the courtyard gate.

Han Qian turned around and walked out, and sure enough, it was his father Han Daoxun, escorted by two family soldiers, who rushed back in a carriage.

Seeing his father lift the curtain and climb out of the carriage, his face was not shocked, Han Qian greeted him in surprise and asked:

"There are a lot of things happening in the Linjiang Marquis Mansion today, does my father know?"

"......" Han Daoxun nodded, motioning to go into the inner room and talk about it again.

"Today I went to the Hou Mansion to receive the reward in the palace, Mr. Shen Yang did not arrive because of his illness, and the old servant came to take away the rich reward in the palace, His Royal Highness was angry, leaving me to wait in the Hou Mansion to shoot arrows to relieve my depression, and wanted to leave me to wait in the inner house to drink and feast, which was blocked by the secretary of the palace. At noon, I was waiting for a banquet in the outer house, and when I heard the screams in the inner house, I rushed over to see Zhao Shunde, the eunuch in Tsing Yi, lying in a pool of blood and struggling, his abdomen was stabbed by iron scissors, and His Royal Highness's left arm was cut by a dagger, and the sleeve of his robe was stained with blood. Everyone rushed to protect His Highness, Li Chong went up and grabbed Zhao Shunde, and used too much force, causing Zhao Shunde to be pierced in the abdomen by iron scissors and his throat was strangled by Li Chong and died. In the palace, Shen He and Guo Rong, the young eunuchs of the Inner Servant Province, hurried back from the palace, and stranded us and the inner servants and palace maids in the Hou Mansion, and spent the whole afternoon investigating the matter. After a while of dark, Guan Bao rushed back from the palace, and Guo Rongcai and Shen He believed that it was the eunuch Zhao Shunde who colluded with the guards of the guard battalion to assassinate His Highness, and ended today's matter. After the incident, the child originally wanted to come back directly, but was dragged by Li Chongqiang to the Red Mansion to drink at night, and the child did not dare to respond to all kinds of flattery and hints during the banquet......

After entering the hall, Han Qian concealed some details related to the Evening Red Mansion, and told his father Han Daoxun about other things in detail.

"yes, I see." Han Daoxun nodded and said.

"......" Han Qian didn't expect his father's reaction to be so cold, and he couldn't help but pick out his words more clearly, "Although Lord Shen and Guo Rong finally decided that it was Zhao Shunde who colluded with the guards of the guard battalion to disadvantage His Highness, anyone with a discerning eye can see the big flaw in it. And His Royal Highness and Li Chong dared to be so fearless, perhaps they would have long thought that the emperor would not pursue this matter......"

"Power is power after all, even if it can be done, Yu Sheji is also walking on thin ice, and once it is overturned, what can I do in the world?" Han Daoxun couldn't help but sigh.

"......" Han Qian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Father is talking about the emperor's ......?"

"The prince is not good, but the grandson can be expected, the emperor is uncertain, it is not the blessing of the society," Han Daoxun couldn't help but say in a low voice, "And in addition to the dispute between the prince and the prince can cause turmoil in the court, the more fundamental thing is that the general sits on private soldiers, the wealthy family occupies the acres of land, and the slaves and maids are not taxed, resulting in the Jianghuai being rich and the hungry people are in the wilderness, and the court has no way to provide soldiers and salaries, and it is more difficult to restrain the generals, so that the abolition of the establishment depends on the face of the foreign court." If the soldiers and generals are all in charge of the court, and the hungry people return to the farm, the taxes are sufficient, and they are not invaded by the wealthy families, the emperor can choose the virtuous as the prince, why be cautious today, afraid of overturning once? ”

In the past, Han Qian was greedy, lustful, and addicted to gambling, Han Daoxun hated iron and steel, and it was impossible to confide in him the block in his chest, but in the past two or three months, Han Qian cultivated himself, studied diligently, and did not say anything, but also changed his stubbornness and frivolity, his bearing became calm and wise, and he could express his own opinions on the political situation in the court from time to time.

Han Qian was stunned for a long time and didn't know how to respond to his father's words.

He had never been able to understand that his father would one day be killed by the rod in front of the Wenying Palace because of something to anger Emperor Tianyou, and at this moment he finally understood.

He didn't expect that his father was in the court, but he had no intention of getting involved in the succession dispute, but set his sights on more dangerous places.

If his father couldn't hold back and wrote these words into the admonition, and asked Emperor Tianyou to cut the general's private soldiers, seize the acres of land and slaves of the wealthy family, it would not anger Emperor Tianyou, but anger all the wealthy families, including the Han family, and force Emperor Tianyou to kill him!

It's no wonder that grandfather Han Wenhuan and uncle Han Daoming don't want to see his father, and they haven't even exchanged letters over the years, no wonder the second uncle Han Daochang dares to "destroy him" recklessly, it turns out that the fundamental difference is here!

"Although the third prince said that today's plan is clumsy, he has the ambition not to be deceived by slaves and maids, and he is diligent and studious. Han Qian diverted the topic, still hoping to dispel the indignant impulsive thoughts in his father's heart, hoping that he could pin the matter of cutting power and clearing fields on the third prince Yang Yuanpu.

Otherwise, once his father made a big mistake on impulse, he could only flee Jinling in a hurry.

“……”

It's not that Han Daoxun doesn't know how much resistance there is to doing something, but it is precisely because of this that he will not pin his hopes on the heirs of Emperor Tianyou, whose prestige and power are far inferior.

However, Han Daoxun would not argue with his son about this, but just reluctantly smiled and said: "If something like this happens today, it will not be bad for you, you can rest assured that you can accompany the Third Highness to study." ”

Han Qian felt so tired at this moment, thinking that if you, an old and angry young man, impulsively went to find death, it would be possible for me to accompany Yang Yuanpu with peace of mind?

Han Qian thought that he would be able to live in peace for a while by fooling Yao Xishui, the little shrew, into the past, but he didn't expect that he still had to be ready to flee at any time.

At this time, Qingyun and the cook brought the food, and Zhao Kuo also walked in.

Seeing that Zhao Kuo wanted to speak and stopped, Han Qian didn't know what was going on, and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”

"The tenant Zhao Laoqi came into the city today with his son and daughter, and he touched the house to see the young master, but he didn't want to wait until now for the young master to come back." Zhao Kuo saw Han Qian's heavy heart on the road just now, and Fan Dahei was beside him, so he didn't mention it, but he was afraid that if he didn't mention it at this time, Han Qian would go back to the house to rest.

Zhao Wuji shot Fan Wucheng, and finally the county government found him not guilty, and only ordered him to guard his filial piety in front of Fan Wucheng's grave for three months.

He was also thinking about this in his heart, thinking of finding an opportunity to go back to the villa and recruit Zhao Wuji to use it by his side, and he would enter the city without them.

"Where are they?" After tossing for a day, there was finally something smooth, Han Qian straightened his back and asked.

"I told them to wait in the yard by the river." Zhao Kuo said.

"How long have they waited? Quickly call them over," Han Qian instructed, and after thinking of something, he asked Zhao Kuo, "Have you always let them wait there, have you arranged for them to eat something first?" ”

"It's been a busy day for no one to think about that." Zhao Kuo said.

Han Qian nodded, Zhao Kuo was guarding outside the Linjiang Marquis Mansion today, and most of the other people in the house were still fighting for Fan Wucheng's death, and it was impossible to entertain the Zhao family's father and son, so he instructed the cook: "You prepare a few dishes immediately and send them to me in a while." ”

Han Qian said to his father again: "Father, Mr. Zhao and his son specially went to the city to see the children, and the children neglected them for a day, so they went to see them and did not accompany their father to eat here." ”

"You don't need to prepare any extra meals in the back kitchen, I can't eat these alone, you can ask Qingyun to take the food box and bring all the meals over." Han Do-hoon said.

Han Daoxun hadn't even met Zhao Wuji, but he knew that Han Qian had the intention to recruit this young man with excellent archery skills. However, he will not surrender his identity, and directly invite the tenants to have a banquet with him, and at the same time consider Fan Xicheng's feelings.

Han Qian picked up an empty bowl, took out some of each dish, and then asked Qingyun to put all the other meals into the food box, and then asked Zhao Kuo to go to the back kitchen to hold a jar of wine, and follow him to the courtyard by the river to meet Zhao Laoqi and his son.

Passing by the front yard, Han Qian saw Fan Dahei running out with his head buried in his head, and shouted to him: "You go and call Lin Haizheng, let's go to the courtyard by the river together." ”

"It's not early, and I have to get up early tomorrow to escort the young master to the Linjiang Hou Mansion." Fan Dahei said in a loud voice.

"What kind of bastard, I don't have to get up early tomorrow?" Han Qian had a dark face and urged him to find Lin Haizheng, he didn't want to recruit Zhao Wuji to his side, Fan Dahei, Lin Haizheng and other family soldiers isolated Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Lao Qi left the villa before dawn, and took a boat until the afternoon before entering the city to touch the Han Mansion to see Zhao Kuo, and then he has been waiting in the courtyard by the Shitang River until now, and no one has paid attention to them in the middle, he is regretting Mo Die, and he didn't think that in the middle of the night, Han Qian would still appear.

Han Qian didn't have time to go to the Qiuhu Mountain Courtyard for more than two months, and when he looked at Zhao Wuji at this time, his body was still not much stronger, mainly because he couldn't keep up with nutrition, but there was a little more brava in his eyes.

Like a black cloud bow wrapped in a broken bag, even if he was wearing coarse cloth clothes, the young Zhao Wuji still gave people the feeling of the sharpness of a sword unsheathed.

Perhaps thinking that no one had paid attention to it until now, the enthusiasm in the young man's heart cooled after waiting for most of the day, and his pupils were somewhat dim at this time.

Han Qian saw Zhao Wuji's reaction in his eyes, and smiled slightly in his heart: He is really a young man who is ignorant of the world, and his thoughts are really direct.
