Chapter 11: Yang Jun, King of Qin (1)
"Sister, don't worry, there will never be a next time." I reluctantly withdrew from Li Yuru's room, and gasped for a few breaths, finally this sister was still sensible and knew that I was unintentional. Hey, I can't help but sigh a few words, this Li Jiancheng's life is too good, both his parents who love him and his reasonable sister, of course this family relationship is very harmonious. In contrast, how has I Yu Ke come over all these years? It's just miserable.
But now there is no need to feel sorry for myself, what Li Jiancheng has is mine, I have enjoyed so many things from him, and what he doesn't have, let me Yu Ke return him a favor and help him take it back. But the world is still peaceful, how long will it take for me to do something?
Because nothing happened at all, life was very boring, and just when I was about to forget the mistake I made, a letter from my father disturbed the Tang Mansion again. It turned out that my mother had written to my father detailing the ridiculous things I had done while drunk. After all, the father is biological, how can he not care about his son's upbringing? I heard that he was very helpless after reading the family letter, so he asked my mother to take us to Qizhou, and he wanted to teach me personally...... Belch.
According to my estimates, Qizhou is not too far from Daxing City, but the transportation in ancient times was too underdeveloped, and a large family of people stopped and stopped, and it took more than half a month to reach the destination. I was very excited when I first rode in the carriage, after all, I had never sat on this thing, and it was wobbly like a crib in it, but after a long time, I couldn't stand it, and it was a little better on the smooth road, and when I got to a place that was a little more difficult to walk, the potholes and potholes made people very uncomfortable, according to this posture, I had to get motion sickness - I had heard of seasickness before, and I had never heard of being dizzy in a carriage, I saw that my mother and two sisters were fine, and I was a man, so I had to hold on.
I remember watching the TV series a long time ago, and I envy the life in the TV series very much, why? The people in it either drink or eat meat, either ride horses and shoot arrows, or fall in love with their beautiful little sisters, and occasionally they are very down, and there will always be someone who comes out to rescue them at a critical moment, and they don't have to worry about life problems at all. I lived almost like this in the Tang Guogong Mansion, but after being out of Daxing City for more than half a month, I suddenly felt that my thoughts seemed a little naïve, how to say it? I can only say, hey, God is really not kind to me, let me be the son of a rich family.
There must be a reason why I think so. Because the road was so boring, I would often accidentally lift the curtain on the side of the carriage and look out, and find that the world outside Daxing City was simply beyond my imagination, because I saw many people working in the fields, some of them were slightly better, some were dressed in tatters, and some of them were about my age—children of seven or eight years old—working in the fields at noon. It's already May or June, and it's getting hotter and hotter, and I can't stand it in the carriage, let alone them. When I pass through a place where there are many people, there are beggars basically every 100 meters on the road, but I have never seen a beggar - I don't know if it is because the living standards of the people in Xi'an are too good or because I am not long-hearted...... Therefore, I came to the conclusion that the life of ancient people was the same as that of modern times, some people ate and drank spicy food, and some people struggled to survive, such as me, which belongs to the latter.
While I was thinking about it, Qizhou finally arrived.
Compared with Daxing City, Qizhou is indeed going to break down a lot, let's just say this city wall, I don't know what's going on, there are a lot of traces of tinkering, enter the city gate, the streets are not as wide as the streets of Daxing City, the street market rarely sees idle sons and brothers, the people here seem to be more serious than the people of Daxing City, and they are more ...... Simple? Or be poor, anyway, there is no exaggeration in Daxingcheng. My father, as a thorn in history, lives in a place that is not very luxurious, and the Tang Guogong Mansion in Daxing City is average, and the house in Qizhou is not as good as there.
Because I had no experience, I didn't know what my dad would teach me. When I met my father, I was very strange - didn't we come here because he saw that I was in trouble and wanted to "educate" me himself? But his mind is obviously not on me at all, and he just told me to study hard in Qizhou...... "also"? Doesn't this mean that he thinks I am studying hard in Daxingcheng? Yes, yes, and I didn't mention my troubles at all, which made me a little nervous.
Where is Daddy's mind? With my keen observation, I found one thing, there are a lot of people who have come to look for my dad recently, and I know one of them - because my dad went to the Tang Guogong Mansion when he was at home during the Chinese New Year, his name is Pei Lian, and he is a good friend of his father, and there are many people looking for him, so I don't understand what happened. Of course, if you want to find out what these people are doing with Daddy, there is a way, don't you understand what they say?
The ancient architectural model was simply designed for people who had my kind of idea, there were screens and pillars everywhere, and it was too easy for a person like me who was less than 1.5 meters tall to hide, and in ancient times, when they talked about a little secret, they would find a house - usually a study - and close the door, and no one knew that there was someone outside the door. Actually, I think it's best to find an open place where there are no obstacles around if you want to talk about something secret, so that you won't be heard.
In fact, Pei Lin didn't live in Qizhou at all, but he made several special trips, and they were all sneaky. One day I was called by my father to the study to ask about my homework, and when I came out, I happened to meet Pei Lin and walked in a little hurriedly. Dad glanced at him, fooled me a few words, and let me go, how could I be so obedient? I still have the ability to squat in the corner.
Sure enough, there was a conversation between them in the study, and the first person to speak was my father, "Coming here in such a hurry, could it be that there is an abnormality in Jingshi?" ”
Pei Lin said: "I went to visit the Qin Wangfu the day before yesterday and heard about something. Brother Shude knew that His Royal Highness King Qin was not sick, but poisoned. The person who poisoned was a concubine in the palace of King Qin, and this concubine disappeared after King Qin fell ill. ”
This "Brother Shude" is talking about my father? I heard that ancient people were very troublesome to name names, just have a name, you have to have a word, Shude is my father's word.
Daddy seemed surprised to hear this, and it was a long time before his voice came, "Is that really the case?" Just came from Beijing, His Royal Highness the King of Qin was dismissed from his official position and imprisoned in the palace for corruption, bribery, arrogance and lasciviousness. ”
"Huh?" Pei Lin exclaimed, "How is this possible?" His Royal Highness the King of Qin has always been lenient and benevolent, known as the order, how can he do this......"
"This is indeed not like King Qin's actions, I'm afraid it's because of his close past with the crown prince." Daddy interjected without waiting for him to finish, and his tone was meaningful.
"Brother Shude means...... Removing the prince's wings? ”
Daddy said, "Exactly. The king of Qin was reprimanded only because of the illegal things he had done in the annexation of the state. Xuan Zhen, think about it, who was the chief historian at that time? ”
Xuan Zhen? This can't be Pei Lian's words, right? There's no third person in the study, and heck, I'm so smart.
"Wang Shao? But if it was really him who fabricated the evidence, who could have instructed him? Could it be...... King Jin? Yes, the governor of Bingzhou before His Royal Highness King Qin was the King of Jin, and when he was in Pingchen, Wang Shao was the Sima of the Marshal's Mansion, and this person was indeed suspicious. It's just that...... He is dead, so what is his purpose? ”
Daddy said: "But the things behind me are heard." ”
"In recent years, the East Palace has gradually fallen out of favor, and the King of Qin has suffered this catastrophe again, from this point of view, the world will be in chaos." Pei Lin seemed a little sad, "Brother Shude moved his family here, but for this? ”
Dad said: "The dispute between the crown prince involves a lot of things, and there are occasional risks, so it is not appropriate for us to do it." It would not be bad if he was in a safe corner and saved his proud wife and weak children in the family, so that he would end his life. ”
After my dad said this, I blushed for him. Where is this like what the founding emperor said, it's just a wreck, a manly man, shouldn't he just do a career? How can you be as unproductive as a shrunken turtle? I can't wait to rush up to educate him, but when I think about it, no, it's still a little far from the chaos in the world.
I'll have to ask Daddy directly what's going on.
He seemed to be at home on this day...... I don't know if there was such a thing as a holiday in ancient times, anyway, he didn't go to business, and stayed at home all day.
I ran to his study and asked directly, "Father, is Uncle Pei gone?" ”
Daddy looked at me suspiciously, "I left three days ago." What's the matter with you? ”
I said respectfully, "I want to ask my father for clarification." ”
"What's the doubt?"
I first organized the language - the standard warm-up process of speaking now is very necessary, otherwise it will be miserable, and then I said: "The matter of King Qin, I want to hear my father's opinion. ”
Daddy looked at me for a moment and smiled, "You are a little child, are you interested in these?" It's just that now is not the time to talk about it, there are still many variables, let's talk about it later. ”
This daddy! He didn't say I was nosy, but his attitude was ...... Hey, I first ran into a wall at Mr. Fang's, he told me that he would never ask about the Northern Dynasty, and now he has hit a soft nail at my father's place, it's not good to be a child, and I'm always looked down upon.
"Father, there is no one else here, can you tell the child about it?" I resorted to the last trick - coquettishness, in fact, I already had goosebumps all over my body.
Seeing this, the smile in my father's eyes deepened, he beckoned to me, I ran over with interest, he took me over and let me lean on my lap, and smiled, "What do you want to hear?" ”
Although I was so embarrassed in my heart that I was going to die, he was willing to speak, of course I couldn't resist, so I had to toss me as he wanted, and replied: "I heard Uncle Pei say that King Qin was scolded because he was too close to the prince, how can I say this?" ”
Daddy slapped me on the head, "How could your Uncle Pei tell you this?" I guess you eavesdropped on the side while we were talking. ”
Damn, the phrase "knowing the son is more than the father" is also true, so to speak...... Am I really his son?
