After reading Zhang's letter, King Guangping was silent for a while.

The truth of the matter is even more unbearable than what he knows, the anger in his heart is beyond words, and he hopes that his father can simply and directly kill Zhao Jiong, deprive the Zhao family of the qualification of the small long house to attack the knight, and demote him to a commoner, so that he can barely give the little second room a justice. It's just that he remembered the latest information from Beijing, and his heart began to heavily. In this world, there are always some things that are not as good as they should be. What he can do is make things a little more desirable.

He asked the commander of the guards, "Is Zhao Jiong really paralyzed?" ”

The Guardian Commander nodded solemnly, "That's true. His subordinates privately went to the doctor who had seen him to inquire, Zhao Jiong's injury, unless the gods descended to earth, it would not be able to heal, not only would he suffer from paralysis for life, but he was afraid that his life expectancy would be greatly reduced. ”

King Guangping felt that the depression in his heart dissipated slightly: "With his appearance, he can no longer serve as a high-ranking official in the court." Zhao Laojun Gong led the army to guard the border for many years before his death, there are many old departments, when he was alive, although he told the old man to recuperate at home, in fact, he never really unloaded the burden, every ten years to ask about military affairs, if it were not for his old man's prestige in the army, everyone was afraid of a few points, when the father's throne was only afraid that it would have been taken away by someone. Now that my father has been on the throne for more than a year, there is still some instability in the court, and as soon as Zhao Laojun is gone, his old departments will be in peace, and there will be no chaos for the time being, but it will not work in the long run, once the border passes change, who can preside over the overall situation? I'm afraid that someone has a wrong mind and takes the opportunity to make trouble. He glanced up at the Captain of the Guards.

The commander of the guards only felt that his eyes were full of deep meaning, but he didn't dare to guess lightly, so he could only test his words: "What His Highness said is very true. Originally, it was still vulgar, the father died and the son succeeded, and those generals, old husbands, and old marquis in the court, if they died of old age and were unable to restrain the old ministry anymore, they would be taken over by their sons and nephews, and the old ministers were also convinced, but now the situation of the Zhao family, Zhao Zhuo is dead, his son is still a little doll, and his health is not good. As for Zhao Jiong, don't say that he is paralyzed, even if he is not paralyzed, with the crimes he committed, he is not qualified, his eldest son has no merit, he participated in martial arts a few years ago, and he fell off the list every year, it can be seen that his talent is mediocre and useless, and the Zhao family is afraid that no one will be able to lead the army. ”

King Guangping smiled slightly: "The imperial court can only choose another person to take on this big task, but this candidate is not easy to choose, not only must you have the ability, but also be reliable, it is best to have some relationship with the Zhao family, so that the old subordinates of the old prince of Zhao can be convinced, and will not let Zhao Jiong and his family have the opportunity to meddle in military affairs, so as not to cause trouble in the future." After that, he put away his smile and asked, "Fan Benzhang, are you willing to take on this heavy responsibility?" ”

The guard commander Fan Benzhang's heart was beating loudly, knowing that his conjecture had come true, he was so excited that he was almost speechless: "Subordinate...... Subordinate......"

King Guangping raised his hand to stop him: "Don't patronize and be happy, this is not an easy errand, not only do you have to go to the frontier to eat sand and blow the wind to fight the Qing soldiers, but also to stabilize the old troops of Zhao Lao Jungong, let them know what Zhao Jiong has done, and from then on they will be estranged from him, and they will not listen to any orders from his little Changfang, but if they are a little bit worse by force, scheming, and means, they will not succeed." If you mess up, you might as well not go, so as to save me embarrassment. ”

Fan Benzhang fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed three times: "Ask Your Highness to give your subordinates a chance!" Since the subordinates left Liaodong, day and night looking forward to being able to go back again to kill the enemy and defend the country, now a great opportunity is in front of the subordinates, if the subordinates really mess up, without waiting for His Royal Highness to deal with it, the subordinates themselves will cut off their heads and ask for guilt! ”

King Guangping smiled and helped the other party up with his own hands. Fan Benzhang was born in the border army, he has been in Liaodong for more than ten years, and has made many contributions, which can be said to be outstanding and experienced, and he has many years of incense with the old Zhao family, if it were not for this, he would not have specially sent Fan Benzhang to escort Mrs. Zhao back to her hometown, and then arrange such a position for the other party. As long as Fan Benzhang returned to Liaodong and secretly informed the old Zhao family of everything he had seen and heard with his own eyes, including what Zhao Jiong had done to his stepmother and brother and the fact that he was suspected of killing the old county prince, then even if Zhao Jiong and Zhao Jue's father and son instructed the old Zhao family to do things for them under the banner of the old county prince, no one would listen to them, and the tens of thousands of horses in the old Zhao family would remain in the hands of the royal family.

King Guangping smiled and encouraged Fan Benzhang a few words, and then instructed him: "This matter can not be decided until we return to Beijing, you don't make a noise for the time being, first choose a suitable person from your subordinates, and take over the palace guard after you." ”

Fan Benzhang respectfully responded, and suddenly remembered one more thing, and said with some embarrassment: "Your Highness, do you remember a young guard under your subordinates, named Lu Yunpeng?" ”

King Guangping naturally remembered: "Old Madam Zhao's maid was rescued by him, wasn't it?" How? Do you want him to be your successor? Isn't it too young? ”

Fan Benzhang gritted his teeth: "Aren't you too young?" Not sensible and love to mess around! This trip to Fengxian, he also had the audacity to do a big thing! ”

Lu Yunpeng, who was vomiting in Fan Benzhang, was standing in the courtyard outside the house right now, bored.

The other palace guards who had returned with him, as well as the maids and servants sent by the Zhang family to pick up their granddaughter, were all placed elsewhere, and he was the only one who was brought to the courtyard where the king of Guangping lived. Lu Yunpeng felt from the bottom of his heart that he had not made a mistake, and he naturally felt very bored about what his boss did.

When Zhao Xiu walked to the gate of the courtyard, she saw Lu Yunpeng squatting there in a circle, she remembered that this palace guard, it seemed to be a very amiable, cheerful and easy to get along with, and then followed the boss to escort her grandmother Zhang back to Fengxian, this time she came back, and she was happy to ask him about the recent situation of her grandmother and little brother?

She immediately ran over on her little short legs: "Brother Guard, did you just come from my grandmother?" ”

Lu Yunpeng looked up and saw that it was her, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, but no matter how he looked at it, he had a little coaxing a child: "Ah, little girl Zhao, did you rush over when you heard the news?" Mrs. Zhao sent someone to pick you up, and you will be able to see them in a while. ”

Zhao Xiu was overjoyed, but he hadn't forgotten his original meaning: "Brother Guard, how is my grandmother?" How's the little brother? Did they go home? What did the great uncle say? ”

Lu Yunpeng replied a little absent-mindedly: "Well, after you go back, just ask your grandmother directly." Jiannanhou now has a bad reputation, he also fell off his horse and became a paralyzed man, and he will never be able to harm anyone in the future! Then he looked at her face with curious eyes: "I once heard the sister next to Mrs. Zhao say that before Miss Zhao fell into the water, she saw the old county prince appear and was exposed by the old county, so she is a hundred times smarter than children of the same age in words and deeds, is this true?" ”

Zhao Xiu didn't understand how Qiu Ye could tell the people of the Guangping Mansion about this, she blinked her eyes and laughed dryly: "Of course it's true!" Otherwise, if you change someone else, can you talk to you like that? But my grandmother told me not to talk about it everywhere. In fact, she herself doesn't want to say more, it's okay to deceive her relatives to cover up her abnormalities, but if she talks too much about it, it seems to be showing off, and it's easy to goof, so it's better to mention it less.

However, Jiannan Hou Zhao Jiong actually became a paralyzed person, and I don't know if he can be cured, if he can't, wouldn't he have to suffer a lifetime of sin? Zhao Xiu's heart was suddenly happy, but she was still a little dissatisfied, hoping that Zhao Jiong would be more miserable, and the Jiang family in the capital was not clean in her hands, so she should also receive some retribution.

When she thought so, Lu Yunpeng was also thoughtful: "Indeed, you are so smart, it is rare in the world, but the things of gods and ghosts are indescribable, and they are publicized, which is not good for the reputation of the girl's family." ”

But he was really curious about it: "When you saw Grandpa Jun, what did he look like?" What kind of clothes are you wearing? How's the face? I've heard that ghosts don't have feet, do you see the feet of the county grandfather? Is he floating in the air? asked a series of questions, and Zhao Xiu secretly complained in his heart.

At this time, Yanxia appeared: "Miss Zhao, why did you come here?!" She ran into the yard and picked up Zhao Xiu, with a little annoyance on her face: "You ran away again, Mother Cao will definitely scold me if she knows about it." Little ancestor, just give me a little pause, such a small person, can't stand steadily, thinking about running around all day long, aren't you tired? ”

She also saw Lu Yunpeng, but the Zhong family, the princess of Guangping, was very strict, and the girls were strictly forbidden to talk to the guards in private, so Yanxia just blushed slightly, curtsied, called "Lu Guard", and turned around and ran away with Zhao Xiu in her arms.

Lu Yunpeng was stunned for a moment, and when he caught up with two steps, he could hear his boss Fan Benzhang shouting in the room: "Lu Yunpeng! Get in here, you kid! He stomped his feet and could only turn around and enter the house.

Zhao Xiu originally planned to fool Yanxia a few words, so that she agreed to stay and continue to explore the news, but she didn't expect her to run away with herself without saying hello, and she could only watch Lu Yunpeng get farther and farther away from her.

Yanxia took her directly to the back of Princess Zhong of Guangping, there were guests in Princess Guangping's house, there were several women with eyes, two were middle-aged women, who looked like servants of large families, and the other two were sixteen or seventeen-year-old Yahuan. This is obviously the identity of the subordinates, why would Princess Guangping be so polite to them? Zhao Xiu looked at it curiously, and one of the two middle-aged servants turned her head to look over, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "This must be the eldest lady of our family." ”

Only then did Zhao Xiu know that these people were sent by the Zhao family, but she couldn't recognize any of them, was it sent by the Zhang family personally? Don't Zhao Jiong's side use the name of the Zhang family to get her away so that she can be a hostage and threaten the Zhang family, right?

Zhao Xiu's thinking diverged for a while, there is no way, I have watched a lot of criminal detective dramas in modern times, and there is no shortage of conspiracy and fighting in online novels, which are all very common episodes, but fortunately, Princess Guangping washed the innocence of the four guests in time: "This is the person sent by your grandmother to pick you up, and I came with Fan Commander and them." Your grandmother misses you so much that she will take you back! ”

Since they came with the escort commander, it is genuine, and it must be the manpower of the old house. Zhao Xiu looked at a few grandmothers and girls curiously, and said to Princess Guangping: "Not only does my grandmother miss me, but I also miss my grandmother, when can I go back?" ”

Princess Guangping smiled: "Are you so anxious? I know you miss your grandmother and brother, but you are willing to give up my family? ”

Zhao Xiu thought to himself that if your son is not so good as a teacher, in fact, I am also a little reluctant. But of course, she couldn't say this, and she was about to coax her with a few kind words, when suddenly there was a sound of porcelain falling to the ground and breaking from the direction of the front yard.

Princess Guangping and Zhao Xiu were stunned, and looked in the direction of the front yard suspiciously.

Did something happen to King Quang Binh?
