Chapter 21
Shen Yang lectured on Liu Yan's restructuring of Caoyun, and he only had a few words, so he didn't want to talk more.
Don't talk about Yang Yuanpu and Feng Yi and Kong Xirong, who don't like to read, Li Chong heard it in the clouds, and he only knew it, but he didn't know why.
Li Chong went back at night and found the Confucian scholars who were enshrined at home, but no one could explain the truth clearly.
He came over this morning, and there was still no way to answer the questions of the third prince Yang Yuanpu, but he didn't expect Han Qian to use the gap in archery to explain the cause and effect clearly.
Seeing that the third prince looked at Han Qian's eyes with great brilliance, Li Chong's heart was sour, but what could he say?
said that after Han Qian went back yesterday, he listened to his son Han Daoxun's explanation to figure out all this?
Even so, he used to say in front of the third prince Yang Yuanpu that Han Qian was unlearned and useless, and it was too much.
Yang Yuanpu was initially dissatisfied with Li Chong's statement that Han Qian was so unbearable, but he didn't say anything after that, when he shot arrows, seeing Li Chong's superb archery skills, he still applauded happily, without the slightest rustiness, after all, the courtier he could openly get close to at this time was Li Chong alone.
Han Qian took the boxwood bow from Li Chong's hand, and shot an iron arrow at the target from a hundred steps, which deviated from the bull's-eye by three or four inches, but it was enough to show that his archery skills had improved rapidly during this time, and his strength was not much worse than that of the soldiers in the army.
"It's a cold day, His Royal Highness doesn't read books in the warm pavilion, but he runs to the arrow field to blow this cold wind, if he is infected with the wind cold, how can the slave and maid explain to the lady." Song Xin, who rarely appeared in the archery field, came over wrapped in a rose-red brocade cloak at this time, reached out and grabbed the hunting bow that Yang Yuanpu had already obtained in his hand, preventing him from continuing to shoot arrows.
Yang Yuanpu was still a young man under the age of fourteen, and he couldn't take the hunting bow back from Song Xin's hands, and his face was red with anger.
Qian Wenxun and the guards standing by the arrow field all tilted their heads to the side.
Although Song Xin has been waiting for the female palace by the side of the princess and Mrs. Wang, and has also served the living of the third prince Yang Yuanpu since she was a child, everyone knows that she is the person sent by the Anning Palace.
Moreover, Song Xin has a good rank, even Li Chong did not dare to stand up for Yang Yuanpu at this time and repelled Song Xin.
"In the middle of winter today, I want to leave Li Chong to have a banquet in their inner house, are you all ready?" Yang Yuanpu finally held back his anger and did not try to take the hunting bow back.
"Li Chong, how can they go to the inner house to have a banquet casually, the slave and maid made a special trip to arrange a table of wine in the study hall, and let them go back to their homes after eating," Song Xin glanced at Han Qian and said, "Your Highness will go back to the inner house with the slave and maid first, don't suffer the cold, otherwise when Lord Guo comes back, he will blame the slave and maid for not knowing how to serve His Highness!" ”
"I'm going to talk to Li Chong for a while." Yang Yuanpu said stubbornly.
"Your Highness is really, together all day, what else do you have to say to Li Jialang." Song Xin said angrily, as if she was counting an ignorant child, but she didn't force Yang Yuanpu to go to the inner house with her immediately, handed over the hunting bow to the guard battalion to join the army, and left first.
Seeing that Song Xin was leaving, he glanced at his side again, and Han Qian frowned slightly.
Song Xin didn't come to the vestibule and arrow field very much, and Han Qian had only seen her three or four times, and she was only twenty-five or sixteen years old, but her eyes were quite cold when she glanced at her, and she must have seen him talk a lot to Yang Yuanpu in private today from some corner just now, and couldn't help but jump out to stop her.
Han Qian secretly had a headache, Yang Yuanpu was surrounded by people from Anning Palace.
Even in the guard battalion, the vast majority of people are unreliable.
Feng Wenlan also knew that deliberately spreading unfavorable news to the three princes and showing his innocence to the Anning Palace, Han Qian didn't want his father to become the first target of the Anning Palace's suppression, but he couldn't avoid the eyes of Song Xin and Guo Rong, and it would be a problem to communicate with the third prince Yang Yuanpu alone in the future, what else could he do?
"Feng Yi, you and Xirong clean up the arrow target!" Han Qian separated Feng Yi and Kong Xirong, squatted on the ground and pretended to sort out the bow and arrows, and said to the third prince Yang Yuanpu, "Does Your Highness dare to kill?" ”
"......" Yang Yuanpu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Han Qian to ask him this.
"His Royal Highness is always the son of the emperor, and if His Royal Highness dares to kill, he will not be deceived by slaves and maids!" Han Qian saw Song Xin walking towards the inner mansion, and he didn't forget to look this way, so he could only bow his head and talk to Yang Yuanpu by arranging his bow and arrows, "When the time comes, His Royal Highness will want to humble himself or something, and if he is humble in front of Lord Guo and them, he will 'not dare to do it'." ”
"I dare to kill, but I want to kill, I'm afraid that I won't have the opportunity to touch the sword and bow in the future." Yang Yuanpu himself obviously thought about this problem, the key is that Anning Palace suppresses their mother and son everywhere, how can he sit back and watch him kill people and establish authority?
Han Qian didn't care if Yang Yuanpu said "dare", whether it was just his imagination in his heart, and continued: "Your Highness accidentally killed the slave maid, and admitted his mistake afterwards, even the Anning Palace can't offend His Highness!" ”
Li Chong was stunned there, he never thought that Han Qian would dare to teach the third prince to take this risky strategy to establish his prestige, and said in a suppressed voice: "Your Highness, don't listen to Han Qian's words, everything needs to be considered in the long run, and you must not act so recklessly!" ”
No matter how deep Yang Yuanpucheng's mansion is, he is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
When I left the palace, I thought I could breathe free air, who would have thought that I would be subject to slaves everywhere, and the resentment in my heart was more abundant than in the palace, where was it possible to calm down at this time?
"Song Siji, I'll go back with you!" Yang Yuanpu caught up with Song Xin and walked to the inner mansion together.
"If you do something bad, be careful that your life is not safe!" Li Chong saw that the third prince Yang Yuanpu was dissatisfied with him talking nonsense about Han Qian's greedy words behind his back, and no longer trusted him, staring at Han Qian's eyes with resentment and hatred, and hated so much that he wanted to pull out a knife and stab Han Qian in the chest.
"......" Han Qian glanced at Li Chong coldly, forgiving Li Chong for not daring to do anything to him.
"What do you do with him?" Feng Yi and Kong Xirong packed up their arrows and walked over, seeing Han Qian and Li Chong looking at each other angrily, they didn't know why they were like this, so they pulled Han Qian away at the moment to prevent him from clashing with Li Chong and being bullied, and did not forget to sneer and sneer, "People are now tightening their jaws to His Highness, he will be powerful in the future, we have to guard against being bitten by others in the past!" ”
Li Chong was so angry that his chest cramped, but he could only hold his breath and walk from the mezzanine to the vestibule.
Han Qian, Feng Yi, and Kong Xirong walked slowly to the vestibule, and saw Li Chong standing at the gate of the courtyard between the study hall and the main hall, following a family soldier to speak, not knowing what he was ordering, and then saw the family soldier of the Xinchang Marquis Mansion hurriedly walked out of the Linjiang Marquis Mansion.
Han Qian guessed that Li Chong didn't dare to use a dangerous strategy after all, for fear that the situation would get out of their control, but he couldn't stop Yang Yuanpu, this was sending someone back to move the rescue troops, right?
Song Xin said that he would not let Han Qian and them enter the inner house for a banquet, and at this time, he saw a waiter coming out with a food box, and he really wanted to prepare a table of wine and food for them in the front garden.
Today is the beginning of midwinter, the heavy snow solar term, even if Han Qian and others are not left to drink and feast in the mansion, the banquet prepared by the Hou Mansion is also very rich, and two pots of sour jujube wine from Xinghuanglou are warmed and sent over.
Chen De, the commander of the guard battalion, didn't know where to go in the morning, but when the banquet was ready, he ran out, and pulled Qian Wenxun, who was on duty today, and the deputy supervisor of the inner chamberlain to come over to eat and drink, but he didn't see the third prince Yang Yuanpu and others come out, and asked: "Didn't you say that Your Highness invited everyone to eat and drink - what about Your Highness?" ”
"Song Siji has prepared a special table of wine in the inner house, and His Royal Highness and others are in the inner house." Qian Wenxun said.
"......" Chen De wrinkled his nose, scolded in a low voice, and didn't say anything.
Even if Feng Yi and Kong Xirong regarded accompanying the study as a chore, and Tie Xin wanted to dissociate himself from the third prince Yang Yuanpu, he also felt that the slaves and maids sent to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion by the Anning Palace were really a bit excessive.
Li Chong was uneasy, but Han Qian drank the wine leisurely, tasting the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table.
If the third prince Yang Yuanpu really dares to do something out of the ordinary today, most of the people in Anning Palace will think that he was instigated by Li Chong, so he will not have any psychological pressure.
The food in Han Qian's own house is much better than that of civilian families, at least the daily chicken, duck, fish, and meat are constant, but the Marquis of Linjiang is suppressed by the Anning Palace, and he is also one of the only three heirs of Emperor Tianyou, and the food and clothing are not bad.
With such a table of wine, even Han Qian rarely eats fine food a few times in Xuanzhou.
"Ahh
After drinking two pots of sour jujube wine, Feng Yi was not drunk, and seeing that Chen De was not happy, he wanted to instigate the deputy superintendent of the inner mansion to go to the back to get the wine, and at this time, a few screams came from the inner house, shattering the silence of the Linjiang Hou Mansion!
There are more than 200 people inside and outside the Linjiang Marquis Mansion, no matter what they have in mind, they will never dare to slack off at this time, if something happens to the three princes, no one can get out of the relationship.
Hearing the terrible screams, and not knowing what was going on in the inner house, no one cared about eating and drinking, so he dropped the wine cup, picked up the knife and bow, and ran to the back house.
Zhao Kuo, Fan Dahei, Lin Haizheng and Feng Yi and their family soldiers were all guarding the courtyard in the southwest corner, and they didn't know what was going on at this time, but they didn't dare to break into the inner house casually, and Chen De asked them to guard the front courtyard.
With Chen De, Qian Wenxun, and Guan Bao passing through the hall to transfer the house, and rushed to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion where the third prince Yang Yuanpu usually lived, Han Qian saw an attendant lying on the ground howling miserably, struggling with both hands covering his lower abdomen, and a pair of scissors pierced deeply. The chamberlain looked eighteen or nineteen years old, his robe was soaked with blood, and it was constantly seeping down, accumulating all over the ground, his eyes were full of horror, as if something incredible had happened.
Although the poisonous plan was offered by Han Qian, although he had also shot Fan Wucheng by Zhao Wuji's hand before, he still had a shocking feeling when he saw this bloody scene again, standing in front of the courtyard with a heart full of anger, and walked in behind Chen De, Qian Wenxun, and Li Chong.
The third prince, Yang Yuanpu, stood in the corner of the courtyard, a dagger rolled down at his feet, a cut was made on his left arm, half of his sleeves were dyed red with blood, his face was pale, and there was a panic in his eyes......
Seeing this scene, Han Qian instantly guessed that Yang Yuanpu wanted to frame this chamberlain for assassination, but Yang Yuanpu didn't kill anyone, and left him alive, which was a bit bad.
Han Qian gasped, and when he saw Li Chong squeezing over from behind, his face was also shocked and suspicious, and he pushed him from behind, shouting: "This person is an assassin, and he wants to kill His Highness - Li Chong, you quickly catch this assassin, don't let him hurt His Highness again!" ”
Li Chong was pushed by Han Qian and almost fell, but he thought about it and understood that Han Qian wanted him not to live.
Li Chong grew up in the army with his father and brother since he was a child, his hands were stained with blood, and he was not afraid of killing, but when he asked him to help the third prince Yang Yuanpu mend the knife and help Han Qian's poisonous plan to wipe his buttocks, his heart was extremely aggrieved.
However, even if the knife is clumsy at this time, it is better than leaving a living hole.
The chamberlains and palace maids of the Hou Mansion came over in a panic, and when they saw this bloody scene, they were at a loss; And Song Xin, the secretary of the Hou Mansion who was usually high-spirited, didn't figure out what was going on at this time, Han Qian shouted assassins, and she saw that Yang Yuanpu was stabbed in the left arm, and there was a mess all around, afraid that there were assassins in the courtyard, so she asked the guards and slaves to surround the third prince Yang Yuanpu.
"Let's protect Your Highness!" Han Qian grabbed Kong Xirong and Feng Yi, who were about to arrest the injured chamberlain, and walked to Yang Yuanpu's side, so that Li Chong could go to kill him alone.
Li Chong glanced at Han Qian with resentment in his eyes, but he could only bite the bullet, ran over and turned the body of the waiter, put his head and face down, and pressed him to the ground, and then strangled his throat with one hand, making him whimper and wail but unable to speak, and twisted his hands and feet with the other hand, pressed his back waist with his knees, and let the scissors poke through at once.
"Keep your mouth alive!" When Song Xin, the secretary of the Hou Mansion, thought of keeping his mouth alive, but when he saw that the chamberlain was pressed down by Li Chong, his feet twitched violently a few times, and he lay there on his stomach, and he didn't know whether it was too much blood loss, or the throat was strangled too tightly by Li Chong and suffocated, and finally died.
