Since his serious injury, King Guangping has been bedridden for a long time to recuperate, and after his injuries have improved, he has suffered from the sequelae of blindness, and he has rarely asked about the government affairs of the DPRK and China, that is, he is more concerned about the ownership of the storage position. Zhao Jue is the pawn he has left behind a few years ago, and he has been staying in the border city of Jinzhou all these years, if it weren't for the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family, he would have forgotten this person. At this moment, Zhang suddenly mentioned that Zhao Jue had been promoted to the sixth level in five years, and he was also very surprised.

King Guangping also knew in his heart that Zhao Jue had abandoned the foundation of Beijing back then and went to the frontier to do a nine-grade inspection in order to have a chance to make a comeback, but no one thought that he would get up so quickly. Although Zhao Jue is stronger than his father, he is not particularly outstanding, there are many old departments of Zhao Lao County Gong in Jinzhou, everyone knows that Zhao Jue's father Zhao Jiong once committed the crime of killing his mother and brother, ruining the reputation of Zhao Lao County, maybe there will be Zhao Lao Jungong's old department in front of the old boss, take care of Zhao Jue, so that he will not be bullied and live a difficult life, but he will never be promoted to a high position, otherwise other colleagues will not be able to stand it.

Over the years, the old subordinates of Zhao Laojun still have some respect for Zhang, and every year they have to send people to Fengxian to give New Year's gifts, greet Zhang, and visit Zhao Wei. They didn't mention too much about Zhao Jue, but vaguely said in the letter that someone was taking care of him, and his life in Jinzhou was not too hard, but it was not all smooth sailing. The person who took care of him explained to people that he was the flesh and blood of the old county prince, and he didn't look as confused as his own father, so he should take care of it. It's not that these words are ignored, and others are not easy to stop. I had to acquiesce. This matter was reported by Lu Yunpeng to the king of Guangping.

But now, Zhao Jue has been promoted to six levels in just five years, which is far beyond the Cheng dù of "taking care of it". There must be someone behind him. Could it be King Ying again? But Zhao Jue has now lost the aura of the Hou Shizi of Jiannan. Why did King Ying hold him again?

King Guangping understood what the Zhang family meant, and there must be something wrong with the people who supported Zhao Jue behind this. After Zhang took his grandson to leave, he ordered someone to invite the chief friend of the house.

An old man in a gray cloth robe walked in and saluted King Quang Binh.

King Guangping hurriedly smiled and motioned for him to get up: "Mr. Zhou, I don't know something, I want to ask Mr.'s opinion, and ask Mr. to teach me." He told the story that Zhang had mentioned.

Mr. Zhou frowned. said: "When did this Zhao Jue ascend?" If most of the old subordinates of Zhao Laojun took a wait-and-see attitude towards a certain comrade taking care of him, and said to Zhao Laomame that Zhao Jue's life in Jinzhou can only be said to be neither good nor bad. Then it shouldn't be possible for them to hide Zhao Jue's ascension from Old Madam Zhao. ”

This sentence reminded the king of Guangping, and he hurriedly ordered to go down and let people go to the military department to check the records. Although Zhao Jue was promoted to the sixth rank, he was still a low-grade military attaché, and this promotion did not require the consent of the emperor or the ministers of the court. It is usually the army to which he belongs that appoints it on its own. However, after the appointment, it must be reported to the Ministry of War for record.

Half a day later, the following people reported the results of the investigation, Zhao Jue started from the nine-product inspection in Jinzhou, and it was not until last year that he was promoted to the seventh grade, and it was under the jurisdiction of the Jinzhou Mansion, and it had not yet entered the stream at all, no wonder the old departments of Zhao Laojun did not attract attention, and Zhao Jue's military merits were made in the spring of this year. Then he rose to the sixth grade in one go, not only that. He was also officially transferred to the border army and became a military attache with rank, and no longer belonged to the local government.

Mr. Zhou immediately discovered the problem: "Zhao Jue's military exploits, isn't it when His Royal Highness went to Liaodong?" Since he is an inspector under the jurisdiction of the government and does not serve in the army, how can he make military achievements? The people who participated in the war were all soldiers in the army, and the government was only responsible for the security of the city, when did he cross the line? It's such a coincidence, after His Royal Highness returned to the court with an injured class, he reported his meritorious service? ”

King Guangping also noticed something strange in his heart, his body was a little stiff, and suddenly a thought came to him. If I remember correctly, when he watched the battle at the head of the city that day, it was the people of the Jinzhou Mansion who maintained order under the head of the city, could it be ...... Zhao Jue is also in it?

His eyes moved, and Mr. Zhou also thought of the same thing, his face turned pale, and then he became extremely stern: "Your Highness, the source of the arrow you were injured that day has not been found so far, and the person who was responsible for searching for the archery afterwards was also under the Jinzhou Mansion Yabiao, and they didn't find anyone." If Zhao Jue had been involved in it, and then suddenly he was promoted, there must be something hidden in this matter! ”

King Guangping clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves, he was already the prince of a country, and his position was extremely stable, although the emperor was a little strange in recent years, but he still favored his son. He also has a beautiful wife and children, and he is also handy in political affairs, and when he returns from winning a battle on the frontier, no one can shake his position. As the emperor's health deteriorates day by day, and he even has the idea of making concessions, the days when he inherits the throne may not be long. At such a good moment, he was injured and blind because he fell into someone else's plot, so he had to take the initiative to abdicate. Once he stepped down from that seat, no matter who sat in his place, he would inevitably be suspicious of him, the former prince who was still alive in the world. He may never be able to engage in government affairs again, be seen in public, travel freely, and even his wife and children will be affected. He was only one step away from that seat, but his future was ruined by someone, how could he not hate it in his heart?!

However, no matter how much he hated in his heart, he hadn't lost his mind yet: "First order someone to find out, what military exploits Zhao Jue has made, and who will testify!" Find out who he is now under as an official, and who has he been protected by all these years! Send a few people to keep an eye on his family in Beijing to see if anyone is secretly in contact with his family. ”

Mr. Zhou nodded solemnly, and then asked, "Your Royal Highness, should someone remind you?" ”

King Guangping was stunned, clenched his fists again, and said lightly: "He is now in the Qianqing Palace, it is inconvenient to contact foreign ministers, there is no need to disturb him because of this trivial matter, if the father and emperor know, it will not be good." Instead, I should have thought of handing a letter to my mother and asking her to be more vigilant in the palace. No matter who plotted against my injury, that man's purpose must be the dragon chair. The fourth brother lives in the palace with other royal brothers and brothers, so it's better not to be taken advantage of. ”

Mr. Zhou agreed, and was about to retire and order. But seeing that King Guangping raised his hand to make a stop move, he looked at the other party puzzled: "Your Highness? ”

King Guangping took a deep breath: "Mr. Zhou, when the fourth brother comes out of the palace, you can go to him." ”

Mr. Zhou was taken aback, but soon understood: "Your Highness, you ...... What's the pain?! ”

King Guangping smiled slightly: "I am already a wasted person, and I will stay with Mr. If you mistake Mr. for his talent, it is better to let Mr. go to the fourth brother. Rest assured, as long as the fourth brother can ascend to the storage position. I'm going to have a good time, too. He paused and said in a sincere tone, "Mr. Zhou, please agree." Although the fourth brother is smart, he is still young. You need to be supported by reliable people. Except sir. Who else can I trust? ”

Mr. Zhou frowned, and finally didn't say anything, bowed to the king of Guangping, and turned to leave.

King Quang Binh sat alone in the room and was silent for a long time, until he heard his wife's low choked voice, and then he came to his senses: "When did you come?" Why are you crying again? ”

"Your Highness!" Zhong couldn't stop the sadness in his heart, "Are you really going to give up?" Even Mr. Zhou, you recommended it to the Fourth Emperor Brother. You never thought about the day when your injuries got better. What should I do when I can see? ”

King Guangping sighed: "You're thinking nonsense again, didn't the imperial doctor say it?" My eye is hopeless, and I am lucky to be able to save this life. Besides, the Fourth Emperor Brother also needs a credible person to help come up with an idea, if you don't let Mr. Zhou go, do you want him to stay with me for the elderly? ”

"There are still a lot of prescriptions in the medical books sent by Mrs. Zhao, maybe there are ...... that can cure His Highness's eye diseases."

"Shuyi!" King Guangping read out the name of the Zhong family, which is rarely called, and his face was indescribably solemn, "The imperial doctor has done his best, and all the medical books collected by Mrs. Zhao have been sent here, and the recipes in it have been turned over three or four times by yourself alone, how long do you plan to hold such an obsession?!" ”

Zhong paused, and a line of tears silently rolled down his face: "Maybe...... In the medical books that Old Madam Zhao originally had, there were prescriptions that could cure His Highness's eyes, but those medical books were just those medical books...... ......"She actually knew that she was just deceiving herself, but as long as no one revealed this fact, she could still have delusions, thinking that her husband would have a day when his eyes would be restored, and then the family would be able to continue to live happily ever after."

It's a pity that her husband was the first to cry out and break her dream.

Chung silently turned and walked out of the room, going back to shed her tears. King Guangping wanted to comfort a few words, but after thinking about it, he changed his words again: "Shuyi, you don't have to be sad, at least I'm still alive, and I can accompany you and my son more in the future, haven't you been chattering, don't you want our family of three to go to Xishan for the summer?" I promise you, in a few days, I will be better, so I will ask my father to take you and Zhen'er to live in Xishan for a few days, when the time comes, you can play the piano for me on the stone platform in the mountains, and we will let our son go to fetch the mountain spring and come back to make tea, okay? ”

Zhong had already left, so naturally no one answered him, he listened sideways for a while, his face was suspicious, and suddenly he understood something, and his expression darkened again.

Is my wife leaving? He didn't find anything. But at this time, he can only hope that Zhong can figure it out by himself, otherwise what is the use of saying more?

There was a soft sound of footsteps at the door of the room, and King Guangping listened to it, and then showed a soft smile: "Is it Zhen'er?" ”

The thin and delicate young man walked up to him and knelt down, stretched out his hand and hugged his father's waist tightly: "Father, don't be sad, you still have children." ”

King Guangping smiled and touched his son's head: "Fang just got along with Brother Wei of the Zhao family, how do you get along?" ”

Gao Zhen nodded: "Okay, Zhao Wei also played a set of punches, which his sister learned from the child." Father, did you teach your sister boxing when he was a child? ”

King Guangping chuckled: "What? It's only been five years, and you don't remember? When you were a child, you lived together for about 20 days, and you liked her, and you taught her boxing, how much writing, and how to memorize. But the little girl is smarter than you and learns everything faster than you. ”

Gao Zhen wrinkled her nose, and the figure of a little bean ding faintly appeared in her mind, her sad crying appearance, and the voice she called herself "Brother Zhen". (To be continued......)
