This Royal Highness the Crown Prince is none other than the King of Guangping, who has only been crowned Prince for three years. He has the grace of saving his life and the virtue of rebuilding the ancestors of the Zhao family's second house, and he also sent his trusted Lu Yunpeng to them as a bodyguard, and he stayed for five years, so the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family were very grateful to him.

Hearing that he was injured in the war, Zhang's face changed: "What's going on?" Even if he wants to lead the troops to the battle, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also the commander, what are the other soldiers doing? Actually injured the manager?! ”

"My grandson didn't know the details, but I heard that it was a random arrow shot on the battlefield." Zhao Wei's face was full of anxiety, "What can I do about this?" Liaodong is more than 3,000 miles away from Shanghai, and it will take a lot of time for the news to come, and His Royal Highness must have been injured for a long time, and I don't know how injured he is now. ”

Zhao Xiu immediately noticed that something was wrong: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led the troops on behalf of the emperor, isn't it...... Is it not long in the spring? I remember that the army was drawn up on the second day of February. When my grandmother heard about it, she said it was a good day. It's been less than two months of work......" She looked back at her grandmother: "Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was injured when he first arrived in Liaodong, the news would have come too quickly, and it was only late March now." ”

Zhang's face changed again. She is not an ordinary housewife, and she has no knowledge of this military affairs. She is the widow of the veteran with the highest prestige in this dynasty, when the old county prince went on the expedition, although she stayed at home to live peacefully, but she was also quite concerned about her husband's safety at the border, and she knew some common sense very well in her heart.

Nearly a thousand miles from the capital to the front line of Jinzhou in eastern Liaodong, the army was pulled out, even if it was a rapid march. It takes about ten days to walk 100 miles a day. The baggage infantry was even slower. However, Liaodong has sufficient troops, and the prince is likely to take the lead with his own soldiers. The large forces followed. He only set off from the capital on the second day of February, and when he arrived in Jinzhou, it would not be impossible for him to reach the middle of the month, and if he fought with the Qing soldiers at this time and was injured. But as a prince, his status is precious, and after the news of his injury reached the capital, it stands to reason that it should not be leaked, let alone spread to Shanghai, which is more than 2,000 miles away, in just over a month. Even elementary school students in private schools can hear about it. Such rumors and panic are not good for the imperial court.

Unless this is someone who deliberately leaked the news and wanted the people of the world to know about the prince's injury.

How serious is the prince's injury?

Zhang's thoughts were chaotic in his heart, and he finally concluded: "Regardless of whether there is something else in this, His Royal Highness the Prince's injury will never be groundless. We need to find out. ”

As the family member of Zhao Laojungong, if he wants to inquire about this kind of news in the army, the Zhang family has his own way. She immediately wrote a few letters, mentioning the rumors on the streets and alleys of Fengxian, and inquiring about the truth of the matter in a cryptic way. But before sending the letter, she had to go to Lu Yunpeng to ask for clarification.

Lu Yunpeng only went to Songjiang the day before yesterday. Now the Zhao family is still very peaceful, he used to send a letter once every ten days, but now he only sends it once a month. Originally, he should have returned to the crown prince a long time ago. But because King Ying gave up the Zhao family's small long house, he never showed his feet. The old department of the Zhao family who colluded with him was not found out, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was worried that he would hit the Zhao family's second room with his idea. This orphan and widow has no reliable person around to protect him, and the risk is too great, so he let Lu Yunpeng stay.

Lu Yunpeng married Qiu Ye the year before last. The relationship between them is actually very tight, although Lu Yunpeng is straightforward, he is never rude in front of people, Qiu Ye is also an honest girl, every time he sends him east and west, it must be sent openly after getting the order of Zhang and Zhao Wei - as for why Zhang and Zhao Wei gave the order, then don't mention it. Zhang's didn't know anything about the pair of lovers under his nose, and after hearing the truth, he almost couldn't believe it.

It was revealed very suddenly. Autumn leaves are twenty years old, she is already an old girl, she has been saying that she can't rest assured of her master in the past few years, and she refuses to marry. Autumn leaves and her ancestors and grandchildren have lived and died together, and have the grace of saving lives, and ordinary maids are not the same day, Zhang is not willing to wronged her, so he plans to prepare a rich dowry for her, let her hire outside, find a solid son to be the head of the couple, this candidate has to be a good choice, must be a good character, the same age, a solid family, preferably a landlord family - the selection of businessmen is afraid of humiliating her, the selection of scholars is afraid that she will be disliked in the future, and the election of ordinary people is afraid that she will be sad - Zhang's choice of daughter-in-law for his son has not been so careful.

It took almost half a year to finally pick out three good candidates, and before Zhang could open his mouth to Autumn Leaves, let her pick one - in fact, Autumn Leaves waited in front of Zhang every day, and she knew almost everything she should know, and her mood couldn't be considered too good - At this time, Lu Yunpeng suddenly proposed marriage, and he also brought a letter from His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince proposed, and the princess acted as a matchmaker to ask Lu Yunpeng to marry Autumn Leaves. Zhang was taken aback, only to know that his little loyal maid had been in love with Lu Yunpeng for more than two years under his nose.

The Zhang family was happy and angry, not angry that Qiuye was unruly and had a personal affair with others, but because she was angry that she hid it from herself, but let the prince and his wife know their thoughts first. However, Autumn Leaves and her relationship are not ordinary, so she was angry for a while, and happily agreed to the marriage. She released Autumn Leaves, recognized her as a goddaughter, asked her grandchildren to change their name to Autumn Leaves "Aunt", prepared a rich dowry seriously, chose an auspicious day, and married Lu Yunpeng as a daughter. The little couple lives in the small yard next to the school grounds.,Last autumn leaves were pregnant.,Just gave birth to a big fat boy last month.,Now it's just out of confinement.。 After the confinement, Lu Yunpeng went to Songjiang, because he was worried about his wife and children, he was a little negligent about the news in the north, and the last time he sent a letter to Songjiang, he reported the good news that his wife had given birth to a son.

Lu Yunpeng rushed back from Songjiang two days later. His face was not very good, and the worry between his eyebrows could not be hidden, and he had obviously gotten the news. As soon as Zhang looked at his appearance, his heart was cold: "Is the situation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really not good?" ”

Lu Yunpeng said: "That arrow is not an ordinary arrow, the arrow was also smeared with poison, it only hit the shoulder and back of His Highness at that time, and it was pulled out immediately, and the poison had not yet occurred at the beginning." His Royal Highness didn't take it seriously, and let the people around him bandage it at will. On the gold creation medicine. At that time, it was the most critical time of the war, and His Highness could not be separated as the commander-in-chief. Unexpectedly, after the fight, when I looked at it, the wound was blackened. His Highness didn't feel any pain, it was due to the medicinal properties. Although the doctor had already cut the flesh and prepared the antidote, the injury was too serious, and it was repeated over and over again, and it never healed. For the sake of the war situation, His Royal Highness refused to return to Beijing for treatment, and the generals of Liaodong tried their best to persuade him. He proposed a quick solution, which was perfected by the generals, and sure enough, he won a big battle and drove the Qing people away, and then the class returned to the court. However, His Royal Highness fell into a coma on the way back to Beijing, and when he arrived in Beijing, all the staff of the Tai Hospital went into battle, but they were never able to pull out the poison. ”

Zhang's heart fell straight down when he heard this: "How can this be? actually smeared poison on the arrow, which Qing man came up with a poisonous plan? Where did you find the poison? I've never heard of anything like this before! ”

The cost of poison is not low. Moreover, when applied to arrows, the amount is limited, and it often cannot achieve a lethal effect, and this method will not be used on the battlefield in general. Now the generals who led the troops on the Qing side had not used this kind of trick, so Zhang couldn't figure it out. Why did the prince poison the arrow. She asked, "When Your Highness was hit by an arrow, was it on the castle tower?" Could it be that the guards around him failed to find this poisoned arrow? ”

Lu Yunpeng's lips moved. With some difficulty, he said: "It's the strange reason why this arrow came from." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was standing on the tower, but the arrow was shot into his shoulder from behind. Although the arrow is a thing of the Qing army, it can be seen that the arrow is a thing that has been used. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was afraid that he had been conspired by someone with a heart, in order not to startle the snake, ordered people not to make a noise, when the army was in class, he was escorted back to Beijing by the guards, and went straight into the palace, only to report to the emperor alone, never expected that the poison was so bad, His Royal Highness was in a coma on the way, and after arriving in the capital, the emperor ordered to block the news, but rumors spread in the capital in just a few days, and now it is known to the whole world......"

Zhang said solemnly: "The prince's safety is in danger, the relationship is important, if someone really deliberately leaks the news, there must be a picture, you can't be careless." ”

The forces that will harm the prince are none other than those kinds, or other princes have the intention of seizing the throne, or someone is intent on causing chaos to the court. If it is the former, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a stable position, and he is excellent in government affairs, this time he went out on behalf of his father, and he has military merits, far exceeding the other brothers. But the second prince, the queen mother of Yanling, is not visible, and her talents are mediocre and unfavored; The fourth prince, King Le'an, and the crown prince were born with the same mother, and they were very affectionate; The fifth prince, King Jinyang, is a merry prince who is bent on the wind and snow; The sixth prince, King Shouchang, has some qualifications, and he is also favored by the emperor, but he is too young, and there are several adult brothers on him, where can he get him if he wants to be the prince? None of these people seem to be people who would do that kind of thing.

As for the ambitious King Ying, he may have this heart, but the emperor is his eldest brother, and he has several adult sons, and it is not his turn to pass on the throne, but it cannot be ruled out that he intends to cause chaos to the emperor.

As for those who are dissatisfied with the imperial court, most of them are the remnants of the previous dynasty, although the imperial court has always been kind to the descendants of the Zhu Ming clan, but it cannot be ruled out that some people resented Emperor Taizu's ministers for seizing the throne, they always felt that Emperor Taizu was disloyal, otherwise they should have chosen a noble son of the Zhu family to ascend the throne as the emperor after driving out the Qing people, instead of establishing himself as the emperor. The problem is that the prince was leading his troops to defend against foreign enemies when he was hit by the arrow, and if those people really hurt him, wouldn't they help the Qing people? The Southern Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Qing soldiers, and the prince felt that they couldn't do such a thing, and Lu Yunpeng had the same idea.

So who is going to do that?

Lu Yunpeng pleaded guilty to Zhang: "Your Highness is seriously injured, Lu can't turn a blind eye, you have to rush back to the capital to visit immediately, and ask the old lady for forgiveness." ”

Zhang Shi hurriedly said: "Of course, I have nothing to do here, and it is really overkill to detain you here." I will order someone to prepare a horse for you, and you will hurry away after you have eaten. Mother and son Akiba are here for the time being, I will take care of it for you, you don't have to worry. ”

Lu Yunpeng solemnly thanked him. Zhao Xiu interjected again: "Grandmother, our family has received a few good medicinal materials in the past few years, it is better to let Uncle Lu bring it, maybe it can help." Zhang nodded yes.

Lu Yunpeng was overjoyed, thanked him again, and went back to his residence to say goodbye to his wife Qiuye, and after a while, Zhang ordered someone to send wine and dinner, and ordered a saddle horse, and after Lu Yunpeng used it, he embarked on the journey back to Beijing.

Zhang took a pair of grandchildren to the door to see him off, watching his figure disappear outside the city gate, his heart was heavy, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the capital can survive this catastrophe safely. (To be continued......)
