Chapter 761: Sudden Shock

From the county test, the government test, the hospital test, the fame of the students, and then the township test, the meeting test, and the palace test, each of which is a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops, and has always been regarded as a shortcut to heaven by people from poor backgrounds. Although Zhang Yue was born in a wealthy family, he is also a person who has walked through the science field, and the only thing he lacks is the township test. Many years ago, he gave up the township test because he was going to Beijing to serve the seriously ill Zhang Fu, and as a result, he was blessed with fame due to misfortune, and finally ranked second on the gold list. Therefore, now when he heard Shen Cang talk about this year's township test in Guangdong Province, he couldn't help but feel in a trance, and then smiled slightly.

"What Mr. Minwang said is very true, if you are presiding over the township examination this time, if there is anything you need to do, just tell me to do it."

Compared with those Haoshou bachelors in the Hanlin Academy, Shen Cang, who was less than fifty years old, was naturally unusually young. It's just that looking at Zhang Yue opposite, he feels that he is really old. I think when I first met Zhang Yue at the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Gu family, he was just a boy with drooping hair, and more than ten years later, the original boy was already a feudal official, and the speed of promotion was unheard of. Therefore, although Zhang Yue takes the old name, he can't completely treat the other party as a junior.

So, he first asked about the situation of the school in Fuzhou County, Guangdong, and then listened to Zhang Yue's careful introduction of the many private schools that have been opened one after another for more than a year, as well as some talented scholars, and then nodded. Although it is said that it is impossible to show favoritism when reading the paper in a vague name, there is a number in mind, and when you finally read the paper, you can know it in your heart, and try to take as many people as possible who are really talented and learned. After discussing with Zhang Yue in the study for more than an hour, he got up to say goodbye, and Zhang Yue personally sent him back to the room.

Seeing Shen Can's figure gradually disappearing, Zhang Yue turned around and walked back. Guangdong is too far away from Beijing, unless it is an urgent military event of 800 miles, otherwise it will take a month to exchange letters at the earliest, even if it is the British official Zhang Fu, in order to avoid dazzling eyes, it is impossible to frequently send his own people in the palace to act as messengers. Therefore, since Gu Xingzu's matter was resolved before, he just mentioned it to his father Zhang Zhuo, but Zhang Zhuo immediately got in touch with Yuan Fang of Jingshi, and he didn't know how much effort it took to finally completely open up this road. Although it is not as good as Zhang Qian, who completely goes through the channels of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, it is much faster than the official face.

Therefore, he had already known the news that Sun Guifei was pregnant, but he couldn't help but wonder if there was something mysterious about being pregnant this time.

Although this year's township exam and next year's general exam are important, they are nothing compared to the fact that Sun Guifei is pregnant with Liujia. Zhu Zhanji's harem is not much, but only Sun Guifei gave birth to a daughter, and this time I don't know if it is a man or a woman. He didn't remember how many times Sun Guifei was pregnant in history, but he remembered that Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was not Sun Guifei's biological son, and it was because Sun Guifei had a "biological son" that Zhu Zhanji was soon abolished. It stands to reason that whether or not he is abolished has nothing to do with him, a foreign minister, but Queen Hu is innocent, and when it comes to the issue of the prince's country, even if the history books do not say it, how do you know that there is no great wrestling behind it?

Also, now that the cabinet and the six ministries are all old ministers, many of the Eastern Palace officials close to Zhu Zhanji had to use all means in order to climb up, and the court seemed to be calm, but in fact there was an undercurrent, otherwise Huang Huai would have withdrawn from the cabinet like this, and the treacherous and cunning Lu Zhen would have drunk to death so lightly and skillfully!

"What's the matter, as soon as you come back, you are so frowning, what bothered Mr. Xiao Shen again?"

Hearing this word of concern in a trance, Zhang Yue found that he had returned to the room unconsciously, and Du Juan was looking at him with concern. Shaking his head and saying that it was okay, he found that she had already changed her clothes, and so did the amber autumn marks around her, so he saved the time to go and greet his parents, and went out of the house with them.

In Sun's upper room, Hongluan and Zhang Fu's mother and son were also there at this time. Sun is now older, and his heart has softened a lot after nagging, and he has gradually made a little show of face for this pair, but as soon as she saw her son and daughter-in-law leading her grandchildren over, she immediately shifted her attention when she didn't have a match to ask Zhang Fei a few words-she was angry at Zhang Yue not to work too hard, and she nagged that she should wear more clothes for the child at night, and reminded Du Juan not to just deal with those orders, but to teach the children more, and to beat the amber autumn marks one to manage the letter and the other to manage the money, and to be more careful...... All in all, the room was full of her voice, and in the end, Zhang Zhuo, who couldn't stand it, found an excuse to block her words.

Leaving the big upper room, Zhang Yue vaguely heard that his mother seemed to be complaining about his father, and he couldn't help but smile. When he got out of the courtyard, because he saw that although Zhang Fei followed Hongluan, his eyes always glanced at him, as if he had something to say, he said something to Du Juan and walked straight forward. Sure enough, Zhang Xiang looked at his mother who was at a loss, and suddenly looked up at him.

"Third brother, I have already thought about what you asked before, and I will learn martial arts well in the future, and I want to go to the frontier to make meritorious contributions!"

Hongluan was taken aback by Zhang Fu's words, and was about to scold his son for messing around, but Zhang Fu held his head high and said: "I think that the second uncle was also because he couldn't read well, so he learned martial arts, and he fought for many years to get to where he is today, I also want to learn from the second uncle, and I will fight for a future back!" In the future, when there is an achievement, my aunt will be happy......"

Seeing Hongluan standing there with trembling shoulders, Zhang Yue pulled Zhang Fu over before she raised her right hand. Seeing that his immature face was full of determination, he smiled slightly: "Very good, since you have an ambition, then from now on you will work hard according to this ambition." It must be known that the second uncle can have today, and he has also overcome obstacles all the way. With a son like you, my aunt is a blessed person, but you only work hard to do it! ”

Zhang Fu thought about it day and night these days, and when he said it, he only felt relieved, but then he was a little worried. But hearing Zhang Yue's encouragement, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he nodded hurriedly, and then reached out to pull his mother Hongluan's hand. At this time, Hongluan finally recovered from the shock and panic, and when she saw Zhang Yue bowing her head lightly towards herself, she couldn't help but wipe her eyes with a handkerchief, and after whispering thanks, she turned around and left with the child.

Turning around and walking a stone's throw away, Zhang Yue found that Cui's mother was carrying a lantern and standing under the wall of the corner and waiting for him. Although Cui's mother was originally only in charge of clothes in the yard, but because she was steady, cautious and capable, she gradually became the most useful old family member around Du Juan over the years, more decent than those big and small girls, at this time, seeing that she was just waiting here at Du Juan's orders, and he didn't want to listen to so many words, so he didn't care.

"It's not a matter of urgency, just listen to it."

Through the faint light of the lantern in Cui's mother's hand, seeing that she looked a little speechless, Zhang Yue asked casually, "Mom seems to have something to say?" ”

"I'm a woman who doesn't know anything, I don't have anything to say, I just think the young master is kind-hearted."

"It's not a kindness, he's my father's flesh and blood, and it's also my brother, if he has ambition and perseverance, it's naturally good. If it weren't for the old lady, the second uncle might not have had a chance to show his skills and feet out of town, and he might not be where I am now. It's good that he doesn't want to be a gentleman, otherwise if he becomes a person like Second Uncle Hui and Third Uncle Xuan, it will be a disaster to the family. ”

Now that the Gu family has passed away, Zhang Yue dreams back every night, but he will realize more and more the goodness of this old grandmother. Although the Gu family also had a preference back then, it was already fair and just, and spared no effort to give opportunities to the children and grandchildren below, which was enough in a big family. After the second uncle Zhang You was awarded the title of Yang Wubo, the imperial court canonized Mrs. Tai was still Gu, who had always been filial and respectful, although he had to respect his mother-in-law for etiquette, but did he know that there was no reason why Gu said peace to Zhang Fu for him when he was in the military, and there was no help?

Just as he was slowly walking through the small door on the east side of the mezzanine, he suddenly saw a figure stumbling in front of him, and he could only vaguely see that it was a young girl. The little girl ran to him, and before she had time to catch her breath, she hurriedly said, "Young master, there is a messenger outside, and there is a messenger outside, and people ...... People are from Jiaolu! ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Yue was suddenly shocked, and turned back to Cui's mother and told her to report Zhang Zhuo immediately, and he rushed out in three steps and two steps. As soon as he arrived at Yimen, Peng Shisan flashed out quickly and said in a low voice: "It's the second master's henchman who came, looking flustered, I asked him and refused to say anything, probably something big happened over there!" It was already night, and I am afraid that he had opened the city gate with the general guard. I arranged people in the west ear room on the side of the study, and asked people to bring tea and snacks first. ”

"In the past two years, there have been many fewer rebellions in Jiaolu than before, the imperial court no longer levies gold and silver bills and peacock feather ivory, etc., and there is Huang Fu Lao Shangshu there trying his best to appease, what will happen to the big deal?" Zhang Yue muttered to himself as he walked forward, and when he was almost on the ground, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Peng Shisan, "Could it be the second uncle......

"If it's a major military event, naturally there is no reason to notify us here, so it's about the second master himself......"

Peng Shisan didn't say anything further, but Zhang Yue's heart tightened. When he entered the room, he saw the messenger walking up and down the room, and the snacks and tea on the small table did not move. As soon as he saw someone coming in, the man immediately turned his head, and immediately rushed up, knelt on the ground with weak knees, and handed over the guard covered with the seal of the general army, and his voice was already crying.

"Third young master, my master was hit by a poisoned arrow, and the doctor said that I am afraid it won't last long!"

Although he had already guessed just now, when he heard these real words, Zhang Yue suddenly gasped. After finally calming down, he asked the messenger to get up first, and questioned him in detail, and when he learned that it was caused by an assassin encountered during an inspection of his troops, he felt his heart jump again, and hurriedly asked: "There is no cure for this poisonous arrow?" ”

"The lord has been in Jiaolu for many years, suppressing rebellion and acting resolutely, and Huang Laoshangshu has a very good combination of soft and hard, so those rebellions can be said to hate the lord to the bone, so the most powerful poison is used, if it is not the right shoulder that is not shot, the lord sees the opportunity quickly, cuts off a large piece of skin and flesh, and takes the antidote, and he can't last so long. Now although he has sent a messenger to Beijing, the distance is far away, so the master sent a small one to Guangdong, hoping that the third master can go over, and let him have someone in front of him......"

The messenger had followed Zhang You for many years, and when he saw that Zhang Yue's face was difficult, he didn't know if he was worried about whether Zhang Zhuo was in danger of going, but he was ordered to come, and this matter was urgent, so he had to turn his heart sideways, and knelt on the ground again and kowtowed a few times: "The little one knows that the third master is in danger here, and I just ask the third young master to be sympathetic and sympathetic to my master for the sake of his flesh and blood." ”

Just when Zhang Yue was groaning, a voice suddenly came from outside: "How could the second brother suddenly send someone to report the news, what happened!" ”

Zhang Yue turned his head to look, and saw that his father Zhang Zuo had already crossed the threshold. Xu was in a hurry, Zhang Zuo was just wearing an old home-style shirt that had rained over the sky, and he was sweating profusely. Seeing this, Zhang Yue hurriedly stepped forward to help him sit down, and relayed the words just now. Seeing his father's pale face and frowning, he whispered: "No one expected such news to come suddenly. Dad, please calm down first, and I'll ask. ”

Seeing that the messenger was still kneeling there in a daze, Zhang Yue didn't have time to think about it, turned back and asked, "Since you are ordered to come, I will ask you a few more words." First, now that the second uncle is seriously injured, who is in charge of the military affairs of the Jiaolu General Military Mansion? Second, has the General Military Office ever traced the origin of the assassin? Third, in addition to the second uncle, there are assassinations against the rest of the people, what is the reaction of the people, and what measures do the General Military Office and the Third Division have? ”

"Why did the third young master ask this ......" The messenger was already anxious, and couldn't help blurting out a question, seeing Zhang Yue's pale face, he suddenly remembered that the third young master was a senior officer, so he had to reply anxiously: "The military affairs of the Jiaolu General Military Mansion are now the deputy chief soldier Rong Changbo, and he is also in charge of tracking down the whereabouts of the assassin. Before I left, the General Army was torturing the Assassin, and I heard that the man was dead and couldn't speak, so he didn't ask anything. As for assassinating the rest...... There are often three or five such assassinations a year, but almost all of them fail, and besides, the General Military Office and the Metropolitan Division have strengthened their vigilance. As for the feudal division and the feudal division, the younger one had been to the feudal division when he left the general military palace, and he happened to hear about it...... Huang Laoshangshu is seriously ill, and now he is in charge of Chen Qia Chen. ”

"What did you say!" Zhang Yue stepped forward with an arrow, stared at the messenger and asked in a fierce voice, "Huang Laoshangshu is seriously ill, is this really true?" ”

"The little one is absolutely false, the political secretary and the judge have already reported to the court!"

It's really a blessing, and the disaster is not a one-way street!

Zhang Yue's already heavy heart pressed a boulder. When he went to ask again, he had already figured it out, no matter how fast Zhang Chao and Brother Zhang Qi were, it was already the limit to be able to get to Jiaolu within a month, and his father had to go this time. Since he was going, he naturally hoped that the situation in Jiaolu was still under control. However, Rong Changbo Chen Zhi was originally at odds with his second uncle Zhang You, and the strategy of leading troops was just ordinary, coupled with Huang Fu's serious illness, the originally stable situation in Jiaolu could go wrong! If Zhang Yu can't survive, and Jiaolu suddenly becomes chaotic, and his father Zhang Zhuo falls into it again, what should it be?

"Third master, third young master......"

"Needless to say, you go down and rest first, and I'll take someone on the road early tomorrow morning!"

Zhang Zhuo didn't wait for the messenger to speak, he directly left a sentence, saw him kowtow again and again in ecstaty, then got up and staggered out the door, and then he looked at Zhang Yue. Seeing that he didn't seem to hear what he had just said, he paced back and forth with his brows furrowed, so he stood up and said, "Yue'er, since your second uncle is dying of life and death, I can only go once." ”

"I know Daddy's heart." Zhang Yue raised his head and said solemnly, "But the situation in Jiaonan is not easy to say, even if you want to go, you have to be fully prepared." Dad, you have to bring some more people, Uncle Yuan has the available manpower here, you bring half of it first! ”
