Under the gate of Xianglinfang, Li Xuan pulled the reins and the tall horse slowly stopped.
The people behind him also stopped at the same time.
Qian Zhe, standing at the gate of the square, immediately bowed his hands to Li Xuan and said, "I have met Nanchang County Prince Qianqiu."
A large number of people standing around Qian Zhe bowed to Li Xuan and saluted: "I have met Nanchang County Prince Qianqiu."
Li Xuan got off the horse, stood by the roadside, reached out to help Qian Zhe, and said with a gentle smile: "Qian Sikou is welcome."
Qian Zhe, the eighth rank Sikou of the Yuezhou Forging Department.
It is precisely because of this title of Sikou that the Qian family can forge and sell weapons in Wuzhou and other states, becoming the leading Wuzhou family.
"I don't dare!" Qian Zhe had a look of fear on his face, then he stretched out his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please come in!"
"Siko, you're welcome!" Li Xuan nodded slightly, handed the horse rope to Li Zhu behind him, and then walked in with Qian Zhe.
The whole street was cleaned very clean, sprinkled with water and paved with loess.
There were children on both sides constantly looking out.
"Qian is determined." Li Xuan said lightly.
Qian Zhe immediately handed over his hand and said, "My family made preparations in a hurry after receiving the news that the prince was coming. I am sorry for my inconvenience. Please forgive me for this."
"It's not bad anymore." Li Xuan smiled calmly.
What a bad reception, it's just an excuse.
Li Xuan decided to come to visit Qian in the government office. It took less than half an hour in total. However, in this half hour, Qian had prepared everything. If he hadn't already prepared, who would letter.
Although Qian had cleverly covered up the Qian Zhuo incident and the biggest hidden danger disappeared, if the follow-up handling is not good, everything will probably be revealed again.
Li Xuan is very likely to be the one who uncovered this, and may also send Qian to the abyss of hell.
Qian's mansion is located in the center of the entire long street.
At this time, the middle door of the entire mansion opened wide, and the servants and maids of the Qian family stood from the middle door to the depths of the house.
A young man wearing a light blue robe and looking like a scholar stood alone at the door to greet guests.
Seeing Li Xuan, he immediately bowed deeply, cupped his hands and said, "Qian Ye, the seventh son of the Qian family, has met the prince of Nanchang. The prince will be safe forever."
"Please get up." Li Xuan nodded slightly and glanced at Du Bixing beside him.
Du Bixing's face was calm, and he was not surprised at all because the Qianshi Qilang in front of him was not the Qianshi Qilang before.
Of course Du Bixing knew Qian Zhuo, and many people in Wuzhou knew Qian Zhuo, but now no one has spoken to expose Qian Ye's truth.
Perhaps they were all surprised and in awe of Qian's methods, or maybe they had been bribed by Qian.
Li Xuan smiled faintly, reached out and patted Qian Ye on the shoulder and said, "Qi Lang has not seen you for a few days, but his skin has become much whiter, and he has become more scholarly. It seems that he is determined to pass the Chunwei exam next year!"
Skin becomes much whiter?
Qian Ye's expression suddenly froze. Although his name was still Qian Ye, he had taken over the identity of Qian Qilang. It was impossible for him to attend any spring festivals as Qian Ye.
It's obviously a fake identity, but you're still so arrogant. Is it because you don't want to die quickly enough?
While Qian Ye paused, Qian Zhe hurried forward and said quickly: "Qi Lang was seriously ill a few days ago, and he is still a little weak to this day. I hope the prince will be more considerate. The safety of the Qian family... depends on the prince. in a moment."
The flash of swords, the intimidation and threats, all in words.
Li Xuan slowly turned around and looked at Qian Zhe with a half-smile.
Qian Zhe immediately held up his hands and said, "Qi Lang is young. Although he has some talents, he has little experience and experience. I hope the prince can give me some advice. The prince is talented in literature. If he can give some guidance to Qi Lang, Qian will definitely shed tears of gratitude. He will be infinitely grateful." Later report."
Li Xuan smiled softly, then waved his hand, looked at Qian Ye casually and said, "How can I have that kind of ability? However, personal literary talent ultimately depends on personal self-awareness. For some people, doing good work is more important than being a human being, but Some people, be a human being
But it is more important than writing a good article. "
Qian Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed his head and said, "What the prince said is true. I will definitely understand it carefully."
"Yeah!" Li Xuan smiled, patted Qian Ye's shoulder, and then walked into the Qian family's mansion. At the same time, he said softly: "But in this life, it doesn't hurt for others to help you occasionally, but if you realize it yourself, No, if you make a mistake, you will inevitably endanger innocent people."
"The Qian family is careful about their family tradition, so they won't be like this." Qian Zhe replied in a neither soft nor hard tone.
Li Xuan smiled lightly and said nothing more.
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and the attitude that needs to be expressed has been expressed.
All that's left is action.
Qian Ye on the side was frowning at this time.
He had just figured out a little bit of the back-and-forth confrontation between Li Xuan and Qian Zhe.
The nave is filled with plaques of various colors.
Many of them are left over from the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Although the Wuzhou Qian clan is only a branch of the Wuxing Qian clan, they are also a large clan in the local area.
Over the years, there have been quite a few people who have served as county magistrates and prefectural sima in various places, but some of them are slightly lacking at higher levels.
Sitting down on the left side of the central hall, a cup of tea was quickly delivered to Li Xuan.
"The tea has a refreshing aroma, which is good." Li Xuan took a slight whiff of the tea, then looked at Qian Zhe and said, "This time the Tianyin Sect was severely damaged, the Qian family contributed a lot. I am here just to express my gratitude. I’d like the Qian family’s help in this matter, and I’d like to ask you one or two other questions.”
Qian Zhe's expression has always been a little nervous, especially when Li Xuan said "The Qian family has contributed a lot", Qian Zhe couldn't help but change.
After knowing that Li Xuan said that he had one or two other questions to ask, Qian Zhe's expression immediately relaxed.
"The Qian family will do their best to assist the state government in matters related to the Tianyin Sect. If the state government gives orders, the Qian family will never shirk the responsibility." Qian Zhe handed over his hand.
Li Xuan nodded lightly, and then said: "The state capital now needs three hundred crossbows. I wonder if Qian can provide some help."
"I will do my best, but these crossbows are somewhat prohibited, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to get them all together for a while." Qian Zhe, who was slightly embarrassed, just paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said to Li Xuan: "I'm going to do it now Write letters to Hangzhou and Yuezhou and try to transfer some."
"In that case, please worry Siko." Li Xuan smiled lightly.
Tianyin Sect also has a batch of crossbows in Qian Zhuo's hands.
Previously, Mr. He and Zhang Wanyu had both considered these crossbows, but Qian Zhuo had hidden them deeply.
Now that Qian Zhuo is dead, no one knows the true whereabouts of these weapons.
But many people suspect that these crossbows have actually returned to the hands of the Qian family.
Now, with a few words from Li Xuan, the Qian family must hand over these crossbows.
Otherwise, it is difficult to say what the consequences will be.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Qian family will never disappoint Your Majesty's trust." Qian Zhe replied with a sincere expression.
Qian Ye stood aside. Although there was a smile on his face, he no longer dared to speak easily.
I'm afraid that if I say one wrong word, the Qian family will pay a greater price.
"On the matter of Wuzhou, as long as the Qian family and I are of the same mind, the Tianyin Sect will definitely not be able to make a big splash. However, after Wuzhou, the imperial court will definitely attack the main altar in Tianyin Mountain. Qian family still needs to be prepared for what to do. "Li Xuan's gentle words, Qian Zhe's face immediately changed slightly.
Then he bowed to Li Xuan with great gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me."
The army was dispatched, and weapons and food were prepared in advance.
Some people will make a fortune, while others will lose their families and families.
"Now the last thing left." Li Xuan's eyes suddenly became solemn.
Whether it was a crossbow or anything else, it was just a reason for Li Xuan to come to Qian's house and put it on the table to cover up people's eyes.
"Your Majesty, please speak." Qian Zhe frowned, but still asked.
"Sikou, you have been in Wuzhou for many years and know the most people. I have a question." Li Xuan leaned forward slightly, looked at Qian Zhe, and asked with suspicion: "Among so many people, who is the best?" There is one person whom Sikou feels he has never seen clearly before, and he always feels that he is surrounded by mist."
"Isn't such a person the prince?" Qian Zhe said, raising his head and looking at Li Xuan with awe.
"Haha, Sikou, I am asking seriously." Li Xuan interrupted Qian Zhe's performance.
The smile on Qian Zhe's face completely faded. He looked at Li Xuan. Although he was a little confused, he still said in a deep voice: "Actually, there are still many such people. Wuzhou has served as governor, and many of them have long histories that are difficult to understand. People, but except for Wang Jishi and Qin Sima, these people are basically far away in various places now, and they may not come back for decades. If we say now..."
Qian Zhe moved closer to Ideal, and then said in a low voice: "Today's Wuzhou, the people who can make even the lower officials feel invisible, except for the prince, the governor Wang and Qin Sima, there is one more, That’s why he joins the army.”
How can Wuzhou judicial officers join the army?
Li Xuan nodded slightly. Qian Zhe had the same view as him and had a little doubt about He Zheng.
After a slight pause, Qian Zhe thought about it and said after careful consideration: "He Canjun is a pure, aloof and upright man. He always bases his judgment on the facts, and most of his judgments are beneficial to the people... He does not usually participate in the banquets and banquets among his colleagues in the state government. Most of the time, gatherings are spent alone, and traveling alone is also done. I am more interested in calligraphy and painting, which is somewhat similar to the prince."
"Indeed." Li Xuan nodded slightly, but her expression became more solemn.
He doesn't have much special interest in calligraphy and painting.
On weekdays, I just use calligraphy and painting as a cover to draw every inch of land I walk on.
It would be the same if He Zheng used calligraphy and painting as a cover to draw every inch of land he walked on and every mountain and river he saw. If that were the case, it would be really troublesome. .
"However, although he is aloof and upright, he can turn a blind eye to some things, such as Zuo Captou..." After a slight pause, Qian Zhe stopped the topic, and then changed his topic and said, "If he hadn't turned a blind eye to some lonely people on weekdays... I really wonder if he is a hypocrite if you give him more charity and care, but now that the prince mentions it like this, could it be that..."
There are actually a lot of lonely people in Wuzhou, but if you think about it carefully, most of them are immigrants from Muzhou.
If we think about it from the heart, He Zheng's mental purpose becomes interesting.
"It's enough for Sikou to have a good idea. When it comes to important officials, there must be conclusive evidence. However, Sikou still needs to be careful. If someone comes to mobilize the Qian family's private soldiers in the future, unless the city of Wuzhou is destroyed or the king comes in person, no matter who it is, Qian can be arrested directly." In just a few words, Li Xuan had already dug a trap.
"Your Majesty, please take note." Qian Zhe immediately felt awe-struck.
A trap is a trap, but Qian's private soldiers have also fallen into the eyes of the King of Nanchang.
This kind of person is so terrible!
Chatting about the scenery and asking about history, before we knew it, it was already getting late.
Li Xuan did not accept Qian's offer to stay for dinner and left directly with a group of people.
Returning to the main hall, Qian Ye looked at his eldest brother Qian Zhe, who had a sullen look on his face, and asked cautiously: "Brother, is there anything wrong with you?"
"It's not inappropriate, it's fatal. The Prince of Nanchang knows so much!" A wry smile appeared on Qian Zhe's face.
"Brother, what do you mean? Doesn't the King of Nanchang want to join forces with my Qian family to target He Shengjun?" Qian Ye frowned tightly.
I don’t understand why after hearing the same words, my elder brother and he would have completely different attitudes.
"The King of Nanchang's trip was essentially nothing more than four words: weapons, private soldiers." Qian Zhe looked sighing with emotion, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know how much of my Qian family's background has been revealed. .”
Qian Ye was suddenly shocked and couldn't help but said: "But brother, every family has private soldiers, not just my Qian family."
"But having a huge private army, and
With so many ordnances, my Qian family is the only one in Wuzhou. Qian Zhe shook his head and sighed: "The big tree attracts the wind!"
"The same goes for the King of Nanchang. My family helped him so much before, but now he turns around and threatens us." Qian Ye complained subconsciously.
Qian Zhe waved his hand directly: "It's not necessarily a threat. After all, he pointed out a clear way."
"Brother, what I mean is that the army of Tianyin Sect will be encircled and suppressed in the future with food, fodder and ordnance."
Qian Zhuo nodded and said softly: "I don't know what the King of Nanchang really thinks. But when dealing with people like them, you always have to be more thoughtful."
Sitting on a tall horse on the long street, Li Xuan's face had completely turned cold.
Li Xuan only briefly mentioned the Shangxi Gold Mine, and Qian Zhe subconsciously walked away.
What your attitude is, you can tell without asking.
Do you really think he can't see the connection between them and Zhang Yi?
