Chapter 2253 Assassination and Travel!
You know, Shangguan Ya may not be able to control the iron sword using the Immortal Six Bo Technique, but it is no problem to control a few iron needles, and it is silent when killing people.
Qin Lin was very depressed, so he continued to go to the library to comprehend the formation. He wanted to study the Fenghou Qimen mentioned by Wang Yue as soon as possible!
But Qin Zhenzhen didn't care at all. The power of her explosive sparks was getting stronger and stronger, which made her want to know where the limit of this martial arts was?
Qin Lin and Qin Zhenzhen, the two housekeepers, were busy with their own things. Shangguan Ya and Pei Wenxuan were busy with their careers, while Wang Yue and Li Rong were playing.
In fact, the reason why Wang Yue went to Rongcheng was because Qin Lin was too strong. It was really abnormal that he could withstand tens of thousands of soldiers and horses alone.
People like Wang Yue stayed in the capital, and the family was still the emperor. I am afraid that he would not sleep well.
If Li Chuan became the emperor in the future and did not implement the parliamentary system with the family, I am afraid he would also worry about him as the national teacher.
Rongcheng is Li Rong's fiefdom, and there are countless mountains around it. It is far from the imperial city, so everyone lives there with peace of mind.
Li Rong does not want to repeat the same mistakes in her life. After knowing Wang Yue's plan, she will wait until her father is old.
Anyway, Wang Yue has the strength. Even if the country is in turmoil in the future, as long as Wang Yue is still there, he will be the stabilizing force.
Li Rong is very clear about this, so she is willing to go to the fiefdom with Wang Yue to reassure her suspicious father.
Wang Yue is actually depressed. The two of them have already married, but Li Rong's favorability has only reached 90%, and the remaining 10% has never increased.
Emperor Li Ming in the capital is in a good mood. He thinks his daughter is quite considerate and knows what he is worried about. He took the son-in-law away from the vicinity of Kyoto. He also specially rewarded some things and sent them to Rongcheng.
After he was free, Li Ming felt that his eldest daughter's marriage had been settled, and it was soon the turn of the crown prince Li Chuan. Of course, he wanted Li Chuan to marry a poor girl, so that he would not be too tied to the aristocratic family.
But the emperor also knew that Li Chuan would definitely not look down on ordinary poor girls, so he was more reliable this time and recommended someone, that is, Qin Zhenzhen, the second disciple of Wang Yue.
The reason given by Li Ming was very powerful, that is, Qin Zhenzhen and his brother were both disciples of Wang Yue, and they were both extraordinary. Marrying Qin Zhenzhen was equivalent to letting the Qin family belong to Li Chuan's faction and gain military power.
It stands to reason that someone like Li Ming would not arrange for Li Chuan to gain military power, but this teacher Wang Yue was too powerful. He now wanted to tie everyone related to Wang Yue to the royal family.
Especially Wang Yue's strength was not only too terrible, but he also had no handle, but Qin Zhenzhen and Qin Lin had it, so there was still a chance to win him over.
As for why Qin Zhenzhen was not allowed to wait for his second son Li Cheng, it was entirely because Li Cheng was still young. If he waited a few more years, Qin Zhenzhen might marry someone else.
As for Shangguan Ya, Li Ming would never want Li Chuan to continue to be tied to the Shangguan family. After all, the Shangguan family has produced four queens. If this continues, the blood of the Li family and the Shangguan family will be too close. I am afraid that the royal family has quietly replaced the blood of the Shangguan family.
And the queen of course recommended Shangguan Ya to be the crown princess, and even Shangguan Xu's people thought so.
Li Chuan was actually hesitant. He had only met Qin Zhenzhen a few times and admired this girl, but he didn't love her.
And Shangguan Ya was just a relative of Li Chuan, so it was not impossible for him to marry Shangguan Ya. After all, this was what her mother wanted to see, and he had no objection.
But Li Chuan had not made a choice yet. Shangguan Ya, who got the news, said very straightforwardly that if anyone wanted to be her man, he must beat her in gambling.
After hearing the news, Shangguan Xu sent people to surround Shangguan Ya in the city, just to invite Shangguan Ya back to communicate properly.
Unfortunately, after Shangguan Ya and Pei Wenxuan captured Tuoba Yan, they took his caravan and fleet from him, and then took Tuoba Yan to familiarize themselves with the caravan. Shangguan Yan left after making a harsh remark, and was not in the capital at all.
The Shangguan family had no choice now. Other girls who were slightly younger wanted to marry Li Chuan, but they were not suitable in terms of status or age.
So, under such circumstances, Qin Zhenzhen received the imperial edict of marriage from the emperor.
After Qin Zhenzhen received the imperial edict, she originally wanted to refuse, and even said goodbye to her brother directly, preparing to go to Rongcheng to find Wang Yue. As a result, she just came to the foot of the mountain and met Li Chuan who came to find her.
Qin Zhenzhen thought that Li Chuan was threatening her to marry him, so she said bluntly, "Your Highness, you are a nice person, but I really don't want to enter the palace. My master once said that once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. I can't adapt to the intrigues there, and I prefer to talk with swords."
Li Chuan originally came here to ask Qin Zhen's opinion. If Qin Zhen didn't want to, he could also go to his father and say no. Unexpectedly, he heard Qin Zhenzhen say this as soon as he arrived, which made him appreciate Qin Zhenzhen even more.
So, Li Chuan immediately thought of this idea and said seriously, "Qin Zhenzhen, you see, we haven't been together for a long time, and you don't know whether you like it or not, so we can actually try to get along with each other on this point."
Here he went, seeing Qin Zhenzhen wanted to speak, he immediately continued, "As for entering the palace, I actually support the method your master said. This not only preserves the royal family, but also the noble families, and helps the poor and the common people.
If that time comes, I, as the emperor, only need to manage the military power, and I don't need to manage those government affairs at all. Then we don't need to stay in the palace at all, we can wander around in the military camp, so you don't need to worry at all."
After hearing this, Qin Zhenzhen was actually a little tempted, but he immediately shook his head and said, "Forget it, I think your father's health will be fine for another few decades, and I can't stand staying in the palace for decades."
Li Chuan smiled and said, "How about this, you can write a later The letter said that you need to ask your master about the marriage. I just happened to accompany you to see my sister.
If your master thinks it's okay, he can convince my father so that you don't have to stay in the palace. Maybe I can find a fiefdom and stay outside for a while. "
Qin Zhenzhen looked at Li Chuan suspiciously when she heard this, and asked uncertainly, "Why do I feel that you really want to go out and play, and you are using me as a cover."
Li Chuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "That's not important. The important thing is that you are not young anymore, and you will be urged to get married sooner or later. It just so happens that we can hide together."
After listening to it, Qin Zhenzhen thought it made sense, so she agreed. She wrote a letter to Li Chuan, and Li Chuan asked his guard Fengming to send it to the palace, and then went to Rongcheng with Qin Zhenzhen.
Li Chuan originally thought that he and Qin Zhenzhen would be able to reach Rongcheng soon, but he didn't expect that they would be assassinated not long after leaving Jiulu Mountain.
The other party had obviously set up an ambush. If they were not both good at martial arts, they would probably have been left there.
After they escaped, they continued to Rongcheng. There were more and more assassinations on the road. Later, they had to change direction and go to Xichuan, preparing to take a detour to Rongcheng.
After changing the direction, there were fewer assassinations in the future. Although they would be found and assassinated after playing in this place for a while, their martial arts were not low, and Qin Zhenzhen's explosion of sparks was a group attack method. Those assassins could not stop them at all and they escaped quickly.
Later, they found that there were more assassins near Rongcheng, so they simply gave up going to Rongcheng and started to play around in Sichuan.
And being assassinated along the way slowly cultivated some feelings and tacit understanding, but they were unwilling to return to the cage of the capital, so they temporarily suppressed the marriage.
In fact, if the two of them wanted to go back, there were many opportunities to go back. After all, those who chased them were not omnipresent, and it was easy for the two to escape.
However, the two did not want to go back, so they used the excuse of being hunted to play outside.
But Li Chuan certainly would not be stupid enough to say that he did not want to go back. He just left a secret code in the place where he lived, so that Fengming, who came a step later, could find the letter he wrote, and then send the letter back to Kyoto.
In fact, the secret guards brought by Fengming originally wanted to protect Li Chuan closely, but later Fengming found that it was not as safe as letting Li Chuan and Qin Zhenzhen go together, so they just followed from a distance.
Rather than saying that they followed, it was actually to convey the message more appropriately. .
When the news that Li Chuan was assassinated one after another and could not return to Beijing for the time being reached Kyoto, the emperor was angry.
If he had known earlier, he, the emperor, would not have died yet, and he had two sons in total. If Li Chuan died, would he have to pass the throne to Li Cheng?
So, he called Concubine Rou, scolded Concubine Rou severely, and even took Concubine Rou's position as a concubine and turned her into Concubine Rou.
Of course, Li Ming did this to relieve the pressure on the aristocratic families and let them know that assassinating the prince was not his idea.
For Li Chuan's safety, Li Ming also expressed his greatest sincerity, which was to let Li Chuan take full control of all military affairs in Sichuan.
Shangguan Xu was also skeptical at first, but he was relieved after receiving this news. Although the Shangguan family had no strength in Sichuan, as long as Li Chuan was still the prince, with this imperial decree, Li Chuan's safety in Sichuan would be increased.
