After nothing to do for a while, he himself came to Zhu Shanglie's West Cross Courtyard to see if he could help.

At this moment, Zhu Shanglie was already sad, sitting in the middle of the house, ordering troops and sending generals, and all kinds of people in the palace were in front of each other, coming and going, and Changshi was constantly writing on the side, busy and happy. As soon as he saw Zhang Shixing coming in, he complained: "Brother Zhang, I am short-sighted, where have you done such a big business, you must help me." ”

Zhang Shixing thought of the tragic death of his parents and the hasty burial of him on his own, and now he didn't know where the grave was, so he was angry and said: "I'm not Mr. Yin and Yang, I can't do this whole set of white things." ”

Zhu Shanglie hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang misunderstood, where do you dare to work your big driver to do these mundane things, you can give me an idea and make a decision, my father and brother are not in the house, this kind of thing can't wait there, drag it out, I'm young and knowledgeable, and I want Brother Zhang to give me more advice." ”

He said it sincerely, which made Zhang Shixing a little embarrassed.

Zhu Shanglie made a look, and the long history retreated, and he asked in a low voice, "What does the prince think about this matter?" ”

Zhang Shixing was stunned when he heard this, and said: "Didn't the prince say it, the princess became ill from hard work and died of a violent illness, you can't say anything here." ”

Zhu Shanglie said: "That's natural, I have already ordered it to go down, anyone who dares to talk more, I will kill his whole family." It's still the prince who is smart, my mother's death, I was in a mess at the time, I don't know what to do, and I called Zhang Hao's old boy, and the prince covered it up, otherwise it would be a joke, and it would be out of control. ”

Zhang Shixing said: "The prince has been in charge of the country for so many years, and he has never seen any big winds and waves, what is this little thing of yours?" ”

Zhu Shanglie sighed and said: "My mother didn't enjoy any blessings during her lifetime, and I will definitely give her a beautiful and decent life after her death, and it can be regarded as a piece of filial piety for her son." ”

Zhang Shixing snorted and stopped talking, he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.

Zhu Shanglie asked again: "How long will the prince stay here, most likely he will have to wait for my father to come back." ”

Zhang Shixing said: "I can't say, the King of Qin didn't say that he could come back, there are thousands of miles away from Beijing, no matter how fast the road is, it will take ten days and half a month, state affairs are important, and there must always be a handover, the prince can get home within two months, it is considered fast, what do you have here to do quickly, slow down." ”

Zhu Shanglie thanked him: "Thank you Brother Zhang for your advice, I know it in my heart." ”

The two talked for a while, Zhang Shixing said goodbye, and Zhu Shanglie forced him to give him two golden buns, saying that the brothers had worked hard these days, and the palace was not well entertained, so he bought a glass of water and wine to drink, Zhang Shixing couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.

Zhang Shixing returned to the dormitory, checked how Zhu Biao was doing, and saw that he had already sat up, leaning on the small couch on the bed to carry a pen and a book, his face was a little blue, and he hurriedly stepped forward to ask An Dao: "The prince should take care of his noble body, and he can do it for him if he has something to do." ”

Zhu Biao squeezed out a smile and said: "You can't do it for you, I want to give my father a piece of music, detailing the hardships of my younger brother and sister who sacrificed their lives to die, I can't let her go in vain, and I also give my second brother a favor, let him come back as soon as possible to send my brother and sister a ride, after all, it is also a husband and wife, and I don't have to wait for me to return to Beijing to play before I will be released." ”

Zhang Shixing praised from the bottom of his heart: "The prince really has the style of Gu Renjun. I don't know if the imperial doctor has been here, is there anything important? ”

Zhu Biao said: "The imperial doctor has already seen it, and there is no big problem, saying that he is not suitable for water and soil, and he has prescribed a few pairs of stomach-nourishing medicines, and I have taken them." ”

Zhang Shixing said: "We live in the palace, and they are doing funerals, there are many inconveniences, I am afraid that the prince will rest, so it is better to move to the Yamen of the political envoy." ”

Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "Don't bother the two masters, I have achieved my wish on this trip, and we will stay for a few more days and then leave for Beijing." ”

Zhang Shixing said: "Some are in a hurry, can the prince raise his spirit and set off again?" ”

Zhu Biao said: "No need, I'm in the prime of life, where can I be so weak and can't help the wind." ”

Three days later, Zhu Biao set off to return to Beijing, and when he was leaving, he went to the mourning hall to worship Guanyin slave and told Zhu Shanglie a few words.

Zhang Hao led the civil and military officials of Shaanxi Province all the way to Weishui Wharf, where Zhu Biao and his entourage returned to Beijing by boat. At the time of parting, Zhu Biao held Zhang Yu's hand and said: "I have played my father's throne and transferred you to Beijing to serve in the Ministry of Industry. ”

Zhang Hao said with tears in his eyes: "Zhang Hao is determined to work for dogs and horses." Prince, I see that your face is not good, the wind on the river is strong, you must wear more clothes, don't suffer from the wind and cold, damage your body, the safety of the country, and the well-being of the people are all dependent on this body. ”

Zhu Biao boarded the bow of the boat, smiled slightly, and said, "It's okay, life and death have their own destiny." Then he waved goodbye to everyone.

Zhang Yu stood on the pier, watching the boat slowly leave, until it disappeared, there was really a feeling that the lonely sail was far away and the sky was clear, and only the Yangtze River skyline flowed, he thought about what Zhu Biao said in parting, and there was a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.

This time back to Beijing, because it is a smooth wind, the boat is very fast, the wind and waves are high, Zhu Biao is very interested, standing proudly on the bow of the boat, watching the scenery and chanting poetry, quite a bit of the pride of the ancestors in the middle of the stream, Zhang Shixing several times hard persuasion, he did not listen, stayed in Xuzhou, sure enough, cold into the body, launched a high fever, but also vomiting and diarrhea, the illness became more and more serious, Zhang Shixing was so anxious that he was about to cry out, urgently called the famous doctor of Xuzhou Mansion to come on the boat for diagnosis and treatment, the doctor passed the pulse, and said to Zhang Shixing: "This noble man is the wind evil into the body, hot and cold attack, water and soil are not adapted, and the viscera is not adjusted, I will first prescribe some antipyretic medicine, and the poison of the stomach and intestines will be slowly pulled out and carefully raised. After that, he took a pen and prescribed a prescription, Zhang Shixing ordered someone to go ashore to catch the medicine according to the prescription, boiled it on the boat, and gave it to Zhu Biao, and sure enough, the fever subsided, but he couldn't eat, he was nauseous and vomiting, and his body was getting thinner and thinner.

On the one hand, Zhang Shixing sent people to report to the Jingshi, and quickly sent the imperial doctor to come, and on the other hand, he discussed with his subordinates, and everyone looked at each other and did not dare to make a sound. Zhang Shixing hurriedly said: "If the prince has three longs and two shorts here, we will all be in danger." ”

There is a bold lieutenant named Niu Er, whose name is Niu Fu, who has a small nose and small eyes, and said: "Zhang Zongqi is right, no matter what, we must let the prince stay up to Beijing, for today's plan, the land route is the closest, but the carriage is bumpy, in case the prince can't stand it, then we have to accompany him." After speaking, he sold a pass and looked at Zhang Shixing.

Zhang Shixing urged: "If there is a fart, release it quickly, when is it." If you have merit, you will be rewarded, if you don't get cured, everyone will die together. After speaking, he took out a golden bun given by Zhu Shanglie from his arms and threw it on the spot.

The Niu Er put the golden bun into his arms and said: "We still have to take the waterway, but take the practice of the post station express shop, change people without changing boats, let a few brothers ride fast horses in front of the boat house, our river boat has been non-stop, down the river, to Huai'an Mansion to change the boat, from the canal to Yangzhou, to Yangzhou and then change the river boat, one day and one night to the Beijing Division." This is the most stable, and the prince will not suffer from the bumps, and then order the imperial doctor to come as soon as possible and gather in Huai'an Mansion. ”

Zhang Shixing said: "Good way, the value of this golden bun flower, just do it, brothers go separately." ”

So some people quickly returned to Beijing to ask for the imperial doctor, some people went to hire people, some people stayed to take care of Zhu Biao, and acted separately, and really ran into the imperial doctor in Huai'an Mansion, the imperial doctor's surname was Wang, his name was Shunhe, and the means were really clever, a few pairs of medicines went down, Zhu Biao's appetite actually improved, he could eat half a bowl of gruel, and he no longer vomited, although he had diarrhea from time to time, and his face slowly became bloody.

When I came to Jiangdu County this night, I saw that I was about to enter the Yangtze River, and I changed the river boat tomorrow, and I will be able to go to Beijing immediately, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It happened to be the fifteenth, the moon in the sky was big and round, Zhang Shixing walked to the back boat, and saw a person, thin and thin, standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the full moon. He walked over and saw that the person was Imperial Physician Wang, so he walked over and said hello, "Mr. Wang, you are admiring the moon." ”

When Imperial Physician Wang saw that it was him, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The moonlight is very good tonight, and the adults will come to enjoy it together." ”

Zhang Shixing looked at the moon above his head, and thought of the night his parents died, although the moonlight was not as bright as today, but the stars in the sky were twinkling and twinkling, as if his parents' eyes were looking at him in the sky.

Imperial Physician Wang asked, "Does Master Zhang know what is the best poem of Yongyue throughout the ages?" ”

Zhang Shixing smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Wang, this is difficult for me, we rough people only know how to fight and kill, where do we know poetry and songs." ”

Doctor Wang said: "I think that Li Taibai's Yongyue poems are the best throughout the ages. ”

Zhang Shixing said: "Sir, you might as well say it, let me be taught." ”

The imperial physician was not polite, cleared his throat and said: "A pot of wine among the flowers, there is no blind date for drinking alone."

Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio. The moon does not drink, and the shadow disciples follow me. Temporarily accompanied by the moon will be shadowed, and the joy must be spring. I sing and wander, and I dance in a mess. When they wake up, they are relatively happy, and when they are drunk, they scatter.

Eternal knot ruthless travel, phase Miao Yunhan. ”

Zhang Shixing said: "It's good, it's just too bleak." ”

Wang Taiyi laughed and said: "Li Taibai is not desolate, but chic, exploring the world, playing the world, it is said that when he was Tu, he drank on the boat, saw the moon in the water, jumped into the water to catch the moon and died, and finally turned into an immortal, worthy of the name of the immortal." ”

Zhang Shixing snorted and said, "It's just a drunkard." ”

Doctor Wang shook his head, stopped talking, continued to look up at the sky, admiring the moon, Zhang Shixing also looked up at the moon, remembered his hometown, fell into contemplation, suddenly heard a plop, the doctor next to him did not know when to fall into the water, Zhang Shixing shouted for help, several lieutenants hurriedly ran over to check, only to see a few ripples floating on the water, long disappeared Wang Taiyi, Zhang Shixing wanted to stop the boat to look for it at the moment, everyone persuaded: "The prince's body is important, the boat can't stop, tomorrow at dawn we will ask the government to send someone to find." ”

Tomorrow they changed to a big boat at Jiangkou Wharf, traced the Yangtze River, and finally returned to Beijing in one day and one night.
