Chapter 149: Searching
Liu Caiqin was frightened, and was severely reprimanded by Liu Guifei and Liu Linshen, she had to change her strategy, chose a lot of girls with outstanding appearance, and put them next to Qian Jun, and also arranged a few special grandmothers and maids for Qian Jun to meet and shoot horses.
Qian Jun's age reached the age of twelve or thirteen, and he began to rebel, and he really fulfilled his stepmother's wishes, becoming more and more irritable and irritable day by day, greedy for fun and tired of studying.
Every once in a while, Shen Mingxi would go to the capital to visit his nephew, and he was very worried about the changes in Qian Jun, but he had no way to meddle in Qian Jun's educationββ, Shen family was Qian Jun's foreign family, and he couldn't justifiably raise Qian Jun.
Shen Mingxi was the childhood companion of Yongchang Emperor Qian Minyan, his enemy, and Qian Minyan's enemy, for the sake of his nephew, he had to disobey his eldest brother's admonition and join the battle between the prince and the Liu family.
The prince's reward to Shen Mingxi was to cooperate with Qian Jun to act in a scene.
Jurong's royal clan, built a sect, the children of the clan with the title, are all studying there, Qian Jun is no exception, enlightened at the age of six, to the age of ten, Qian Jun is still in charge of teaching several good students in the eyes of the old Hanlin, since the age of eleven, his grades began to decline, not good to listen to the lecture, but also make trouble all day long, Zheng Xin, who accompanied him to read, had to be punished several times a month.
The smarter the child, the more naughty he becomes, the more angry he is, and with the protection of the emperor, Qian Jun is getting more and more out of line. Zongcheng is divided into three parts: primary school, university and Taixue, and those who have passed the age of ten are in college, and those who have passed fifteen years old are Taixue.
Qian Jun was originally in college, but he used the excuse that the gentleman there was not good and always skipped school, and the emperor had no choice, so he handed Qian Jun over to the prince and took him to Taixue to study.
Most of the time, the prince has to help the emperor deal with government affairs, and the time to go to Taixue every month is limited, that day, he was concentrating on listening to Mr. talk about history, and suddenly heard someone snickering in the classroom.
Mr. was furious, but Qian Jun didn't even bring a companion to read, so he couldn't really hit the prince's hand, right? The old Hanlin was so angry that his beard trembled.
Qian Jun was triumphant and grimaced at his husband, but the prince grabbed his ears and pulled him out of the classroom: "Get out of the capital for me, don't let me see you, otherwise, if you see you once, I will beat you once!" β
"Leaving the capital? Let's go, who is rare here. I'm leaving, it's strange to see if Uncle Huang doesn't scold you! Qian Jun turned around and went out of Taixue, and he didn't take his own carriage, so he disappeared.
He was actually sent to Huaijin Mansion by Shen Mingxi, and the prince also quietly told the emperor about this, and the emperor knew that his younger brother doted on Liu Caiqin, so he could only sigh.
The three brothers of the Shen family are all Jinshi, Shen Mingxi promised in front of the emperor that he will not be out of office for the time being, and he has a lot of free time to be responsible for the education of his nephew, and the emperor acquiesced to this, otherwise, the younger brother worked hard in the front, and when he came back, he found that his son had become the first gentleman in the capital, and he was the elder brother, and he was also disgraced.
Liu Caiqin heard the news that Qian Jun was disgusted by the prince and ran away angrily, not to mention how happy she was, she pretended to send people to look around, and even cried in front of the emperor, what this woman is best at is this - pretending to be wronged and innocent.
Qian Jun has no news, Liu Caiqin was so happy that she couldn't sleep at night at first, but three months later, she suddenly thought of the Shen family, and then she felt that something was wrong, she sent someone to visit the Shen family secretly, and soon knew Qian Jun's whereabouts.
Liu Caiqin sent people to ask for someone on the one hand, and on the other hand, she found an opportunity to go to the emperor to cry, saying that the Shen family was bullying people and wanted to trap her in injustice and unkindness.
The emperor called the prince to reprimand him fiercely, saying that he had no tolerance for people, did not love his brothers and sisters, and was simply unworthy of being the prince, the prince was very angry, and seemed to feel that all this was provoked by Qian Jun, and if he released cruel words, he must not let Qian Jun go.
When Qian Jun heard about it, he refused to return to Beijing, and Liu Caiqin sent three groups of people in makeup, but they failed to achieve their goal.
Shen Mingxi broke off his friendship with the prince because of this.
All of these made Concubine Liu very happy and rewarded her cousin with many treasures.
Liu Caiqin didn't expect that she was crooked and right, and she actually contributed to her nephew's ascendancy.
If Qian Jun doesn't come back, the contradiction between the prince and the Shen family will become bigger and bigger.
As much influence as the Shen family has among the Wenchen, the loss of the crown prince will be great.
Liu Caiqin was happy, but worried that Qian Jun would turn back under Shen Mingxi's teaching. She sent someone to Huaijin Mansion for an unannounced visit, only to learn that Qian Jun didn't listen to her uncle at all, the two quarreled in a mess, Shen Mingxi had lost confidence, left Qian Jun in Zhuyun Academy, and traveled the world by himself.
Qian Jun's performance in the Ruyun Academy is almost the same as in the Royal Sect, he wants to listen to the lectures, but if he doesn't want to listen to the classes, he skips classes to go fishing and play, and he also runs to the nearby villages, fighting with a group of peasant children, often with a blue nose and swollen face, if it weren't for the Shen family's big face, the dean of the Izuyun Academy would have driven Qian Jun away long ago.
Liu Caiqin relieved her heart at this time, and in the days that followed, she was only in the wax moon, pretending to let people take Qian Jun home, and show it to others, barely maintaining her own face.
In fact, Qian Jun's trip to the Cloud Academy was arranged by Shen Mingxi and his second brother Shen Minglan.
In the south of the mountain pack where the Ruyun Academy is located, there is a small mountain village Zhang Ying, like the people of Shiwei Village, their ancestors are also people in the army, and the ancestors of the people in the village have practiced martial arts for generations, Qian Jun under Shen Mingxi's arrangement, he went to practice martial arts every morning, at the beginning he was inevitably clumsy, and he couldn't dodge being hit in the face by his brothers, and his nose and face were swollen.
Qian Jun skipped class, not only to practice martial arts, but also to learn the art of war, and the person who taught him was Fan Gang, the dean of Zhuyun Academy.
Don't look at Fan Gang, he only has a reputation, but he once served as a master for the famous general Murong Jingyu of the Jurong Dynasty for seventeen years, and the old man Murong retired from old age, so he returned to his hometown and founded this Zhuyun Academy.
He and Qian Jun sat cross-legged on the kang, with a small kang table in between, and on the table, with strips of cloth and stones, posed as rivers and mountains, and then explained some of the examples of war he personally experienced. The old man is eloquent, lively and interesting, Qian Jun comes twice a month, each time for two hours, this is the place where he thinks time flies the fastest.
Every time Fan Gang told Shen Jun about a battle example, he asked him to summarize the battle - victory, what was the basis for defeat, and what was the reason for defeat.
Qian Jun himself had read the Art of War in private, and in the Taixue of the Royal Sect, he also taught the basic knowledge of the Art of War, and the homework that Fan Gang left for him was to let Qian Jun turn the dogma in the book into a living example of war, and into knowledge that he could understand and apply.
Perhaps it was because of his studies in the Cloud Academy that Qian Jun had divine help on the battlefield in Western Xinjiang and helped the crown prince and his father to victory.
When Wen Han went to the Cloud Academy, Qian Jun had been here for two years, his alternative, made it difficult for all his classmates to accept, Qian Jun had no friends, was not understood, and his life was miserable, Wen Han was the same age as him, and the time of self-study made him less than his classmates Mr. Daoxue's habits, coupled with Qian Jun's deliberate approach, the two soon became friends, with the understanding of Qian Jun, Wen Han found that this friend was like a piece of jade with a rough appearance, and he was smart, talented, kind, and wise inside. He went from friendship to appreciation and admiration for Qian Jun, and unconsciously, the relationship between the two became more and more harmonious.
Qian Jun completed the task assigned by the new emperor, so he took leave to find Wen Jin and Wen Han, the prince was still a little reluctant to let go, just because the chair he sat on was not stable enough, although Liu Linshen and Yiwang were imprisoned, but the dark pile he arranged in the capital was not cleared, and the emperor still wanted Qian Jun to help him complete this task.
It was Shen Mingxi who helped Qian Jun ask for leave.
Liu Guangzhong in southern Xinjiang had heavy troops, and although he was restrained by Jiang Biyun, a general in the southwest, and Hou Hewu, a general in central and southern China, he was still in crisis.
Liu Guangzhong's troops are more than twice as many as the combined forces of Jiang Biyun and Hou Hewu, and behind Jiang Biyun, there is also a small Miao Guo Sichang. The territory of Sichang is not large, there are less than 100,000 people in total, hidden in the vast mountains, but the Miao people are brave, if they fight, they often take one as ten, and they are also quite a threat to Jurong, if they send troops to contain Jiang Biyun, Liu Guangzhong can quickly solve Hou Hewu, wave troops to the north, and cause great pressure on the imperial court.
The emperor did not dare to increase troops in central and southern China at the moment, and the western Xinjiang fought for ten years, coupled with the emperor's later years, his energy was not good, and the government was slack, and the current national strength was very weak, and the accounts reported by the household department had almost no money on it.
If you don't have money, what will you do to fight?
Officially approaching the court to deal with political affairs, the emperor's brows have not been loosened, and he once consulted several trusted ministers around him: "A few Aiqing, how can the situation in southern Xinjiang be stable without a fight?"
Without Liu Linshen, Yang Jian became a veritable first assistant, and when he heard the emperor's inquiry, he stepped forward and replied loudly: "Long live, Weichen thought that he should try to make friends with Sichang, and sent a capable official to Sichang." β
Shen Mingxi went to southern Xinjiang twice and made great contributions, and the little emperor didn't have a suitable reason to reward him, so he immediately thought of him when he heard it: "Ladies and gentlemen, Shen Mingxi, the third brother of Shen Mingzhao, the political envoy of Liangjiang, is knowledgeable, eloquent, and loyal to the imperial court, let him send Sichang on behalf of the imperial court, do you think so?" β
Yang Jian originally wanted his brother-in-law Guo Hao to go, Guo Hao was born in the top ranks, and he has been in the ministry for more than ten years, and he is still a deputy fourth-grade person, if he can make great contributions to the new emperor, why can't he go further?
But the emperor proposed to let Shen Mingxi go, this Shen Siye, but at the age of ten he was famous, famous in the capital, when he won the Tanhualang, or Shen Old Man did not want people to criticize his son is borrowing his east wind, so he asked the emperor to lower his son's ranking.
Old Man Shen originally let his son fall out of the top three, but the emperor really felt that it was too much, so he reluctantly gave the third place, so as to keep the first place.
Yang Jian admitted that his brother-in-law, the champion, was not as high as Shen Mingxi's level of Tanhualang, and he was bitter in his heart and didn't know how to speak.
Su Qing was grateful for the overthrow of Ran Zhongjian, Yang Jian also helped him, and at this moment, he proposed to the emperor on his behalf: "Guo Hao is calm and generous, well-behaved, and talented, and can be a great responsibility." β
The emperor didn't say anything, isn't this robbing business with him?
Zhang Zhongrong is a new cabinet scholar, whether it is in the hands of the former emperor or in front of the new emperor, he has no achievements, he is anxious to perform, seeing the emperor groaning, he hurriedly proposed: "Shen Mingxi is young and wise, easy to advance, if you let Lord Guo be his deputy, the critical time can help him hold him down." β
The emperor thought that this proposal was good, and bowed slightly, and the matter was settled.
Yang Jian was very annoyed, feeling that even if his brother-in-law made a contribution, he would not be able to put it on the table, but instead made a wedding dress for Shen Mingxi in vain, and was very dissatisfied with Zhang Zhongrong.
Shen Mingxi was not very happy, he had a loose temperament, and he didn't like those old masters with straight faces and serious looks.
Guo Hao is very Taoist, which is exactly the type that Shen Mingxi doesn't like.
Zhang Zhongrong didn't expect that he was kind, but he ended up looking in the mirror, and it was not a human end inside and out.
Shen Mingxi still accepted the emperor's commission, interceded for his nephew, and won him a month's vacation.
Qian Jun hurried all the way, and as soon as he arrived in Minghu City, the subordinates sent earlier anxiously reported that Wen Jin was lost.
Qian Jun was angry and anxious, and when he saw Wen Han, he couldn't get angry.
"Is there a clue?"
One sentence stunned Wen Han.
"Speak, does Wen Jin have any clues?"
Wen Han immediately looked ashamed and anxious.
Shi Qiwang ran back, he saw Qian Jun, he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this added another help, so he didn't shy away from it, and hurriedly said: "I saw Liao Sangongzi sneakily went to a courtyard in the west of the city. β
Qian Jun turned his head to Wen Han: "Did he do it?" β
"Pomegranate said that he wants Wen Jin to be a concubine!"
"I'm tired of him!" Qian Jun waved his hand at Shi Qiwang: "Lead the way!" β
Shi Qiwang turned around and ran out, several people followed, and out of the gate, Qian Jun stepped forward: "Give him a horse!" "I don't ask people if they can ride.
Wen Han was anxious, and he didn't care if there would be an accident while riding a horse on the street, but fortunately, Shi Qiwang took everyone and went straight to the outside of the city, but there were not many people on the road.
Besides, the only pedestrians were also damaged by their menacing appearance, and they took refuge on the side of the road early.
The Liao family's guard saw that a noble son knocked on the door, and quickly opened it:
"Where is the third son?"
"Who are you?" The gatekeeper saw that it was a living person, so he naturally wanted to check carefully, but he was pushed to the ground by Qian Jun, and he fainted without even shouting.
Qian Jun was in a hurry, not prestigious.
The doorkeeper subconsciously glanced back just now, and Qian Jun walked quickly in that direction.
Liao Chengtian easily got rid of his wife, and hurriedly came to the other courtyard, hearing that Wen Jin was already well, he happily pushed the door into the house, he didn't expect that Qian Wenjin was such a beautiful woman who captivated the country and the city, and the ice carving was flawless.
Liao Chengtian was stunned, and he didn't even dare to reach out and touch it, for fear that he would accidentally break it.
If he faced such a beautiful woman every day, how good would it be, thinking of his wife in the room who was as sticky as dog skin cream, Liao Chengtian's heart suddenly felt sour, he widened his eyes, and said resentfully: "You, when you saw me again, why did you smear your face, your eyebrows are still so thick, otherwise, otherwise, I haven't decided to marry at that time, so I can marry you." β
Wen Jin saw that he was not wild, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Wen Jin has a husband, doesn't the third prince of Liao feel too reckless?" β
Liao Chengtian was stunned for a moment, then laughed a few times, and then said: "Impossible, I inquired, you are not engaged, and many people in your hometown don't know that you are a woman." β
He was a little proud, thinking that this was God's love for him, otherwise, just liking Wen Jin's eyes, let him dig up such a priceless treasure.
Wen Jin raised her eyelids contemptuously, at this time, where did she go to verify whether Qian Jun was reliable, anyway, pull it out first, and then say again: "We didn't have a formal marriage, he went to the battlefield in Western Xinjiang." β
Liao Chengtian smiled: "Then there is still life." β
"Yes, his life is unspeakably precious, how dare God take it easily. Let me tell you, not only is he noble, but now he has made immortal achievements, Liao Sangongzi, I advise you to let it go, otherwise, if he knows that you have forcibly abducted a people's girl-"
"Don't scare me!" Liao Chengtian sneered, "Just your poor country, can you have such a nobleman?" It's a big deal to make a small contribution in Western Xinjiang, and it's time to get a handle on it. β
Wen Jin pouted slightly: "Do you know the Shen family in Huaijin Mansion?" Do you know who the eldest lady of the Shen family married back then? Do you know her son, how old he is, what is his last name, where he reads? β
Liao Chengtian's heart sank slightly, he knew this, although in Liangzhong Province, his father's official position was the highest, but if you want to say who is the most noble, there is no doubt about the Shen family, the old man Shen has been dead for more than ten years, but his influence has not dissipated, that is, his father came to Liangzhong Province to serve, and also went to the ancestral tomb of the Shen family in Huaijin Mansion to worship Shen Xiangye.
Liao Chengtian lowered his head in frustration, why did he carry it so desperately? Who is not easy to meet, and will actually meet the people of the Shen family?
No, more noble than the people of the Shen family - the children of the clan! There is only such a person who can come to Liangzhong Province, how many tens of thousands of people will let him run into it?
Liao Chengtian suddenly raised his eyebrows: "How could it be so coincidental that you would meet him?" β
"Believe it or not, anyway, the ugly words are in front, don't blame me for not saying hello when the time comes."
Liao Chengtian saw that Wen Jin was so calm, and he was a little hesitant. Wen Jin took the opportunity to add a handful of firewood: "The young master of the Shen family studied in the Yunyun Academy in Huaijin Mansion, and he also took the surname Shen, took the Xiucai exam, and had a good relationship with my brother Qian Wenhan, and he also lived in my house several times. If nothing else, just rush to my brother and friend, and he will definitely be angry for me! β
