People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 389

Under the gate of Xianglinfang, Li Xuan pulled the reins, and the tall horse slowly stopped.

The people behind them also stopped at the same time.

Qian Zhe, who was standing at the gate of the workshop, immediately bowed to Li Xuan, "I have seen Nanchang County King Qianqiu."

A large group of people standing beside Qian Zhe bowed to Li Xuan at the same time: "I have seen Nanchang County King Qianqiu."

Li Xuan got off her horse, stood by the side of the road, stretched out her hand to support Qian Zhe, and said with a gentle smile, "Qian Sikou, you are welcome."

Qian Zhe, the eighth-rank chief of the Yuezhou Forging Department.

It is precisely because of this title that the Qian family can forge weapons and sell them in Wuzhou and other states, becoming the leading family in Wuzhou.

"Don't dare!" Qian Zhe looked terrified, then stretched out his hand and said, "My lord, please!"

"Si Kou, you're welcome!" Li Xuan nodded slightly, handed the horse rope to Li Zhu who was behind him, and then walked in with Qian Zhe.

The whole street was cleaned very clean, sprinkled with water and paved with loess.

There are children on both sides who keep looking out.

"Mr. Qian has a heart." Li Xuan said lightly.

Qian Zhe immediately cupped his hands: "The family also made preparations in a hurry after receiving the news that the prince is coming. I hope that the prince will forgive me."

"It's not too bad." Li Xuan smiled calmly.

What kind of poor hospitality is just an excuse.

Li Xuancong decided to visit Qian's family in the state office. It took less than half an hour, but during this half an hour, Qian's family had already made all the preparations. letter.

Although the matter of Qian Zhuo was covered up cleverly by the Qian family, and the biggest hidden danger disappeared, if the follow-up is not handled well, everything may be revealed again.

Li Xuan is very likely to be the one who uncovered this, and it is also possible that Qian will be sent 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 was opened wide, and the servants and maids of the Qian family stood from the middle door all the way to the depths of the house.

And a young man in a light blue robe with the appearance of a scholar stood alone at the door to welcome the guests.

Seeing Li Xuan, he immediately bowed deeply, cupped his hands and said, "Qian Ye, the Qilang of the Qian family, has met the Nanchang County King, and the County King 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 at all surprised because the Qian Shiqilang in front of him was not the previous Qian Shiqilang.

Of course Du Bixing knew Qian Zhuo, and there were many people in Wuzhou who knew Qian Zhuo, but now no one opened his mouth to expose Qian Ye's falsehood.

Perhaps they were all surprised and awed by Qian's methods, or they had already been bribed by Qian.

Li Xuan smiled faintly, stretched out her hand and patted Qian Ye's shoulder and said, "Qilang hasn't seen you for a few days, but his skin has become much fairer, and he has become more scholarly. It seems that he intends to win next year's Chunwei!"

The skin is much whiter?

Qian Ye's expression froze suddenly. Although he was still called Qian Ye, he replaced Qian Qilang's identity, and it was impossible for him to participate in the Spring Festival with Qian Ye's identity.

It's obviously a false identity, but he is still so arrogant, is it because he doesn't think he died fast enough?
During Qian Ye's pause, Qian Zhe hurried forward and said quickly: "Qilang was seriously ill the day before yesterday, and he is still a little weak today. I hope the prince will be more considerate. The safety of the Qian family... is all in the hands of the prince. in a moment."

Swords, swords, coercion and threats are all in words.

Li Xuan turned around slowly, and looked at Qian Zhe with a half-smile.

Qian Zhe immediately cupped his hands and said: "Qilang is young, although he has some talent, but he has little knowledge. I hope the prince can give some advice. The prince is talented. If he can guide Qilang a little bit, Qian will be very grateful. Later report."

Li Xuan smiled lightly, then waved her hand, looked at Qian Ye casually and said, "I don't have that kind of ability, but personal literary talent depends on one's self-realization after all. For some people, good writing is more important than being a human being, but For some people, being a human being is more important than writing well.”

Qian Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed his head and said, "What the prince said is very true, I must understand it carefully."

"Yeah!" Li Xuan smiled, patted Qian Ye on the shoulder, then walked into Qian's mansion, and said softly at the same time: "However, in this road of life, it is harmless for others to help you occasionally, but if you realize it yourself No, if you make a mistake, you will inevitably implicate the innocent."

"Qianmen's family style is cautious, so it won't be like this." Qian Zhe replied neither soft nor hard.

Li Xuan smiled lightly and stopped talking.

Everything that should be said has been said, and the attitude that should be expressed has also been expressed.

All that's left is action.

Qian Ye on the side frowned at this time.

Li Xuan and Qian Zhe were fighting each other back and forth, and he had just figured out a little taste.

……

The nave is covered 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 big family in the local area.

There are indeed quite a few people who have served as county magistrates and prefectural Sima in various places for many years, but there are still some shortages at the top.

Sitting down on the left side of the middle hall, a cup of clear tea was quickly delivered to Li Xuan.

"The fragrance of tea is clear, not bad." Li Xuan smelled the tea a little bit, then looked at Qian Zhe and said, "This time the Tianyin Sect was hit hard, and the Qian family contributed a lot. This king came this time to thank you For the help of the Qian family on this matter, there are one or two other questions to ask."

Qian Zhe's expression was always a little nervous, especially when Li Xuan said "the Qian family contributed a lot", Qian Zhe couldn't help but change.

Knowing that Li Xuan said that he had one or two more questions to ask, Qian Zhe's expression relaxed immediately.

"With regards to the Tianyin Sect, the Qian family will definitely assist the state government with all its strength, but the state government has orders, and the Qian family will never shirk." Qian Zhe cupped his hands.

Li Xuan nodded lightly, and then said: "The state government needs three hundred crossbows now, I wonder if Qian's can provide some help."

"I will do my best, but this crossbow is more or less illegal, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get all of them together." Qian Zhe, who was a little bit embarrassed, just paused, then gritted his teeth and said to Li Xuan: "Your official is now Write letters to Hangzhou and Yuezhou, and try to transfer some of them."

"If that's the case, I'll trouble Si Kou to worry more." Li Xuan smiled lightly.

Tianyin Sect still has a batch of bows and crossbows in Qian Zhuo's hands.

Earlier, Helao and Zhang Wanyu both had ideas about this batch of bows and crossbows, but Qian Zhuo hid them very deeply.

Now that Qian Zhuo is dead, no one knows the true whereabouts of these weapons.

But many people suspected that these crossbows had actually returned to the Qian family.

Now, under Li Xuan's few words, the Qian family must hand over these bows and crossbows.

Otherwise, it is hard to say what the consequences will be.

"My lord, don't worry, the Qian family will never disappoint my lord's entrustment." Qian Zhe replied with a sincere expression.

Qian Ye stood aside, although there was a smile on his face, he didn't dare to speak again easily.

I am afraid that if I say a wrong word, the Chin family will pay a higher price.

"In the matter of Wuzhou, only the Qian family and this king are of the same mind. The Yin Sect will definitely not be able to make a big wave that day. However, after Wuzhou, the imperial court will definitely conquer the main altar in Tianyin Mountain. How to proceed then, Qian family still needs to be prepared. With Li Xuan's soft words, Qian Zhe's expression changed slightly.

Then he bowed to Li Xuan gratefully: "Thank you, my lord, for reminding me."

The army was dispatched, and the weapons, food and grass were prepared early.

Some people will make a fortune because of this, but some people will lose their families because of it.

"The last thing left now." Li Xuan's eyes suddenly became serious.

Be it bows and crossbows, or anything else, it was just Li Xuan's reason for coming to Qian's house and putting them on the table to cover people's eyes.

"My lord, please tell me." Qian Zhe frowned, but still asked.

"Si Kou, 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 suspiciously: "Among so many people, who is there?" One, Si Kou felt that he had never seen it clearly, and always felt that his body was full of fog."

"Isn't such a person the prince?" Qian Zhe said, raised his head, and looked at Li Xuan in awe.

"Hehe, Si Kou, this king is asking seriously." Li Xuan interrupted Qian Zhe's performance.

The smile on Qian Zhe's face was completely restrained. He looked at Li Xuan. Although he was a little puzzled, he still said in a deep voice: "Actually, there are quite a few people like this. Wuzhou has served as governor, and there are many long histories that are difficult to see through. people, but except for Wang Cishi and Qin Sima, these people are basically far away now, and they may not come back for decades, if we say now..."

Qian Zhe leaned closer to Ideal, and then said in a low voice: "In today's Wuzhou, even the lower officials can't see through, except for the prince, Wang Cishi and Qin Sima, and one more, That is He Canjun."

He Zheng, the judicial officer of Wuzhou, joined the army.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, Qian Zhe had the same opinion as him, and had a little doubt about He Zheng.

Pausing for a while, Qian Zhe thought about it, and said carefully: "He Canjun is a pure and aloof person, honest and upright, how many cases are judged based on the facts, and most of the cases are beneficial to the people... He does not participate in the banquets and banquets among his colleagues in the state government on weekdays. Gatherings, more often, are alone, and playing is also playing alone, and I am more fond of calligraphy and painting, which is somewhat similar to the prince."

"Indeed." Li Xuan nodded slightly, but her expression became more serious.

He didn't have much special interest in calligraphy and painting.

On weekdays, I just use calligraphy and painting as a cover to paint every inch of land under my feet.

The same is true for He Zheng, using calligraphy and painting as a cover to draw every inch of land under his feet, every mountain and river he has seen. If that is the case, it will be really troublesome.

"However, although he is aloof and upright, he can turn a blind eye to some things, such as Zuo Butou..." After a slight pause, Qian Zhe stopped the topic, and then said again: "If it weren't for him to treat some lonely people on weekdays I really doubt if he is a hypocrite, but now that the prince mentions it like this, could it be..."

In Wuzhou, there are actually a lot of lonely people, but when you think about it carefully, the immigrants from Muzhou are the most.

If you think about it from the heart, then He Zheng's mental purpose is interesting.

"It's enough for Si Kou to have a good idea in mind. When it comes to important officials, conclusive evidence is always needed. However, Si Kou still needs to be careful. If someone comes to mobilize Qian's private soldiers in the future, unless the city of Wuzhou is broken or the prince comes personally, no matter who they are, Qian can be directly arrested." Between Li Xuan's few words, a trap has been dug.

"Remember, lower officials." Qian Zhe immediately felt awe-inspiring.

The trap belongs to the trap, but Qian's private soldiers have also fallen into the eyes of the King of Nanchang.

This kind of person is too scary!

……

Chatting about scenery and inquiring about history, before you know it, it's getting late.

Li Xuan did not accept the dinner that Qian shi asked to keep, and left directly with a group of people.

Returning to the middle hall, Qian Ye looked at the elder brother Qian Zhe who had a dark face, and asked cautiously: "Brother, is there anything wrong?"

"It's not wrong, it's fatal. The king of Nanchang knows a lot!" Qian Zhe had a wry smile on his face.
"Brother, what do you mean, isn't the King of Nanchang going to join forces with my Qian family to target that He Canjun?" Qian Ye frowned tightly,

I don't understand why after listening to the same words, the eldest brother and him have completely different attitudes.

"The king of Nanchang's trip is actually nothing more than four words, weapons, private soldiers." Qian Zhe shook his head with emotion, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know how much of the details of my Qian family have been seen. .”

Qian Ye was startled suddenly, and couldn't help but said: "But big brother, every family has private soldiers, and it's not just my Qian family."

"But with huge private soldiers and so many armaments, my Qian family is the only one in Wuzhou." Qian Zhe shook his head and sighed, "Big tree attracts the wind!"

"The king of Nanchang is the same. My family helped him so much before, but now he turns around and threatens him." Qian Ye complained subconsciously.

Qian Zhe waved his hand directly: "It's not necessarily a threat, after all, he pointed out a clear path."

"Brother, what you mean is that in the future, the large army of the Tianyin Sect will be encircled and suppressed for food, grass 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 need to have more eyes."

……

On the long street, Li Xuan, who was sitting on a tall horse, had completely turned cold.

Li Xuan only mentioned the matter of the Shangxi Gold Mine, but Qian Zhe subconsciously turned away.

What is the attitude, it is self-evident.

Do you really think he can't see the connection between them and Zhang Yi?
