Wei and Jin Cooks

Nothing happened to Xun Zu on the road, and things went too smoothly.

Zeng Yue brought two hundred soldiers to **** Xun Zu, and he protected Xun Zu closely. It could be said that he would never leave Xun Zu, and would lie next to Xun Zu when he slept at night.

　　Not to mention that people outside can't hurt Xun Group, even Xun Group himself can't hurt himself.

However, Xun Zu did not have the courage to use his own life to frame Zhao Hanzhang.

 Yuan Li and Zhao Shen escorted Yu Hong and escorted Xun Fan back. The two teams met halfway.

Xun's team first saw the embarrassed Yu Hong who was locked in the prison car. Before he could be shocked, he went straight to the carriage to see Xun Fan. He had to make sure that his brother was still alive.

The imperial physician arrived two days before Xun Fan. It was after he arrived that Xun Fan and the others started to set off. At this time, they were in the same carriage as Xun Fan.

Seeing Xun Zu rush in, he held Xun Fan's hand and was filled with grief. He couldn't help but say, "Censor Xun, although Taifu Xun is seriously injured, he will be fine as long as he cultivates himself well."

The doctor Yuan Li and the others hired was very reliable. Xun Fan's biggest problems were excessive blood loss and old age. The doctor happened to have a unique secret skill of acupuncture to stop bleeding. Once the prescription for replenishing blood after stopping the bleeding was given, he would never stop using it. Hanging Xun Fan's life.

As soon as the imperial doctor arrived, he immediately transfused some blood into Xunfan and mixed some good medicinal materials for him. By this time, he was fine and his wounds began to recover.

 He really didn’t understand why Xun Zu was crying.

Xun Zu’s heart was complicated. He felt lucky, fearful, and had some inexplicable feelings.

Xun Fan found an excuse to send away the imperial doctor, and then he learned about what happened in the capital from Xun Zu.

Xunfan had already realized what Zhao Hanzhang was going to do. He glanced at his younger brother who was still crying and obviously hadn't realized Zhao Hanzhang's intention. He couldn't help but sigh and said: "From the chaos of the past few decades, it can be seen that the world should be Virtue is the most important thing, and only by governing the country with virtue can we achieve long-term peace and stability.”

Xun Zu looked up blankly, with tears on his face, "Brother, why did you suddenly mention this?"

Xun Fan shook his head, and instead of explaining to Xun Zu, he asked, "Is your Majesty okay?"

Xunzu perked up and said quickly, "Okay, but being in fear all the time is not a long-term solution. After I leave the capital, I don't know if Zhao Hanzhang will embarrass His Majesty."

Xun Fan shook his head slightly. Since Zhao Hanzhang wanted to reshape the country's morality, he would not embarrass the emperor at this time.

Xunfan said: "Don't delay, come back to Beijing quickly."

Xun group should go down.

Outside, Yuan Li was also surprised by Zeng Yue's arrival. He looked a little unhappy, "Why did the general send you to pick up Xun Fan? You also brought Xun Group here."

Zeng Yue: "I only follow orders."

Yuan Li: "But you are the deputy commander-in-chief of the general. You should follow the general every step of the way."

Zeng Yue frowned slightly and warned him: "Yuan Li, you are out of line. It is the general's business to do what he does. We just have to obey orders."

Zhao Shen also wandered over and praised Zeng Yue: "Vice Commander Zeng is still thorough."

 Zeng Yue and Zhao Shen saluted.

 Zhao Shen quickly returned the gift.

Zeng Yue's official position was higher than that of Zhao Shen, but Zhao Shen's surname was Zhao, and Zeng Yue was a member of the Zhao family. Yuan Li refused to obey Zhao Shen, but Zeng Yue always took a step back towards the children of the Zhao family.

However, Zhao Shen did not dare to really treat them as a family tribe. They took orders from Zhao Hanzhang, not from the Zhao family.

Yuan Li’s eyes were heavy and he didn’t speak.

On the way back, Zeng Yue's people replaced Yuan Li and Zhao Shen's people and surrounded the Xun Fan brothers. Zeng Yue took Xun Zu and the imperial doctor to live with Xun Fan. Whether they were camping in the wild or staying at an inn, he never left. Two people.

Zhao Shen was dumbfounded and couldn't help but ask: "Who is he guarding against?"

Yuan Li was a little irritable and worried that Zhao Hanzhang would blame him for taking matters into his own hands. He also suspected that Zeng Yue was guarding against him. No, he was guarding against everyone fairly.

Yuan Li sneered and said: "He has always been like this, stubborn. It must have been the girl who asked him to protect Xun Fan and Xun Zu. This is the method he came up with."

When he was young, his master told him that he was not good at riding, and would fall off the horse if he tried to chop hard. The original intention was to let him find skills, control, or stop being a cavalryman, but in the end, he just practiced chopping on the horse. He kept falling down and climbing up again, and finally the master couldn't stand it anymore and allowed him to stay in the cavalry.

This method is stupid, but it works.

The brothers Xunfan and Xunzu returned to Luoyang safely.

Before entering the city, Zhao Shen asked Xun Group to ride into the city together.

Xun Zu wanted to refuse, but Xun Fan said, "Go ahead and let me relax. There are four people in the car. I'm really tired."

Xunzhu: ...he doesn’t want to sit together, but he has to take care of them at the same time, and the imperial doctor is on the side to take precautions. What can he do?

Hasn’t this idiot ever thought that if four people are in the same car, it will be easy for others to cause trouble?

 But the peace along the way shows that no one dares to cause trouble.

 The head of the emperor's old ministers is in the car. Unless the old ministers can unite to kill Xun Fan and Xun Zu at the same time, they will not take action;

As for the Zhao family, they were protected by Yuan Li and Zeng Yue was here, so no one dared to take over.

Yuan Li, he didn’t dare to do it at this time.

 He touched the scar on his face and was extremely honest.

Xunzu mounted his horse and rode into the city with Zhao Shen Yuanli and others.

Today is the day off. Officials from the central government counted their arrival in the next two days and personally squatted at the city gate. From a distance, they saw Xun Zu's face appearing. An official in a restaurant slapped the table happily, "I'm back, I'm back. Look, the Xun group is back in full force."

His colleague opposite him happily touched his beard and said, "After all, the general has the virtue of a regent and will not deceive us."

 Bah, that’s not what you said in the court that day. If you believed Zhao Hanzhang, would you still squat here and stare at him?

However, everyone had a tacit understanding and did not reveal it, and began to look back and forth at the team of more than 500 people. "There is no coffin. Does it mean that Taifu Xun has passed the danger? The carriage is particularly large. Is it in the carriage?"

“I don’t see Zeng Yue, I’m probably in that car. Is that…Yu Hong?”

The two looked at each other and frowned, "Why are you so embarrassed?"

“What crime did Yu Hong commit?”

“We can only know this by asking Taifu Xun. Come on, let’s go to Xun’s house and wait.”

At the same moment, many people rushed out of the restaurants on the left and right sides of the avenue. When they met, they were either colleagues, or their nephews and followers.

Everyone held their hands in a tacit understanding, and then quickly took a shortcut to Xunzhai.

Yuan Li and his group had a large number of people, and they were walking on the main road. In addition, there were many pedestrians on the road, so even if they had to give way, they had to slow down, so their speed was far slower than those of the agile court officials.

Zhao Hanzhang was giving riding and archery lessons to the young emperor in the palace. When he heard the report, the arrow in his hand pierced the target with a whoosh, and he nodded and said, "Not bad." The little emperor beside him shook.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, please follow me out of the palace to visit Taifu Xun, so that Taifu can feel at ease."

The little emperor immediately said: "I have the general taking care of me in the palace, and the Taifu can't be more at ease."

Zhao Hanzhang raised the corners of his lips and said, "That lunch box is to reassure Your Majesty. After all, the Taifu was injured due to state affairs, and he is your Majesty's family member. How can you not visit?"

 After saying this, he asked someone to lead the young emperor to change his clothes, and they immediately left the palace.

 The little emperor no longer refused after hearing this. He was indeed a little worried about his second uncle.

When Zhao Hanzhang took the young emperor to Xun's house, there were already many people around Xun Fan.

Yuan Li glanced at those people and left with a sneer without stopping.

Most of the first people who came to visit Xun Fan were the old ministers, the courtiers who supported the young emperor, or the neutral ones, with the exception of Ji Yuan.

In front of Ji Yuan, the old ministers were unable to ask many questions. They could only ask Xun Fan, "Who is so bold to hurt Taifu?"

Xunfan sighed, "Yu Hong's wife's brother Zheng Zhi."

The old officials were stunned and quickly asked: "Why is Yu Hong like this? What has he committed?"

The case has been investigated and the evidence has been obtained. There is nothing that Xun Fan cannot say, so he started talking about Yu Hong's connivance with Zheng Zhi to drive up grain prices.

Hearing that Yu Hong had poisoned Xun Fan and Yuan Li and wanted to murder them, Qiu Zhi, a supporter of the Xun group, couldn't help but stamp his feet, "He's stupid. He's just driving up food prices. He just pleads guilty and accepts punishment. Why did he murder the angels? It's a small offense." If it becomes a serious crime, I’m afraid it will be difficult for the entire clan to survive.”

Xun Zu said bitterly: "My brother is his good friend, and he plans to plot his life. This is what he deserves."

Qiu Zhi said, "Teacher shouldn't have asked Yuan Li to investigate this matter. Yu Hong was too afraid, so he made the mistake."

Xunzu frowned, "What do you mean? Do you blame my brother for this?"

Qiu Zhi shook his head and said: "If you have to spare someone, please spare him. The Imperial Tutor can obviously write a letter of impeachment, and the imperial court will send a censor to investigate. Why should Yuan Li be involved?"

"That Yuanli was very cruel. Ever since he investigated and handled the disaster relief, anyone he found out about driving up grain prices would be killed and raped. The general especially hated officials who colluded with grain merchants. As long as they were found out, he would kill them all. Don’t blame Yu Hong for being panicked.”

After Qiu Zhi finished speaking, he looked at Ji Yuan who was sitting quietly drinking tea. He raised his hand and said, "Attendant Ji, the lower officials have long had objections. Since the flood, the general's punishment has been too harsh."

Ji Yuan put down the tea cup and said, "In troubled times, use heavy codes, otherwise it will be difficult to scare people away from nausea. Does Taifu Xun also think that the general's methods are harsh?"

Xun Fan shook his head and looked at Qiu Zhi: "You have never seen those victims, so you don't know how miserable they are. Yu Hong... officials like them, no matter how many codes they use, it is not too much. If the general is still there at this time, If we let them prey on the common people, the world will probably not get better."

Qiu Zhi didn't expect Xun Fan to side with Zhao Hanzhang, so he couldn't help but frowned, "Master, what are you..."

"Okay," Xun Zu interrupted their argument, "my brother is still ill and has been tired all the way, so let him rest more."

Ji Yuan just came to take a look and make sure whether the brothers Xun Fan and Xun Zu were alive and well. He had already seen them before, so he would not stay long, so he stood up and left immediately.

Other court officials also stood up and were about to leave, when suddenly a servant came running in and said: "Master Lang, the general and your majesty are here to visit the patient. They have already arrived at the door..."

As soon as Xun Fan heard this, he stood up to greet him. Ji Yuan reacted and quickly held him down and said, "You have a wound on your leg, please stay here while we go to greet him."

Xun Zu also held him down, "Yes, brother, you have to be careful about the wound on your leg. It can be fatal if it breaks. Let's go and greet it."

Ji Yuan led everyone out to greet him. Xunzu hurriedly tried to follow him, but Qiu Zhi pulled him away.

He couldn't help but slow down, and went aside to talk to Qiu Zhi, "Why can't we talk about it later?"

"It will be too late to wait. It is rare for His Majesty to come here. Why don't we make preparations?"

Xun Zu was startled and whispered: "Are you crazy? Zhao Hanzhang always brings his own soldiers with him when traveling. What's more, with her skills, even if the soldiers are not close, we can't beat her."

"Oh, who is talking about this? Zhao Hanzhang died, and Zhao Jiajun and the Zhao family are still there. How could I kill her? What I said was that I should prepare something for His Majesty to take into the palace."

Xunzu calmed down and asked, "What is it?"

Qiu Zhi took out a dagger from his sleeve.

Xunzu’s eyes widened and he pushed his hand back, “You’re crazy!”

Qiu Zhi: "Be prepared. Haven't you always wanted to bring His Majesty in but couldn't? The short sword can not only defend yourself, but also kill enemies. We have to be checked when entering the palace, but no one dares to check His Majesty when he comes in and out. It is difficult for His Majesty to get out." Once in the palace, it is very likely that this is the only chance."

Xunzu lowered his eyes and thought.

Even though the young emperor had to practice riding and shooting in the palace, and also learned swordsmanship from Zhao Hanzhang or Zeng Yue, in fact he could not get a single weapon in private.

The palace is full of people from Zhao Hanzhang, both inside and outside.

The former imperial troops were all broken up by her and incorporated into the Zhao family army, and those who were selected to serve as the imperial army in the capital were all direct descendants of the Zhao family army.

 Those who are elected to the palace are even more die-hard loyalists.

Even if a bowl was broken in the emperor's palace, the broken pieces had to be picked up and made sure that they could be pieced together into a complete bowl before being cleaned and recorded. Therefore, the little emperor had nothing to protect himself or harm others.

Xun Zu had long wanted to bring a handy weapon to the young emperor, but he couldn't bring it into the palace.

But it is different when the emperor leaves the palace. The Zhao Jiajun guarding the palace gate will search everyone who enters the palace, but they will never search the little emperor.

After thinking about it, Xun Zu took the dagger and stuffed it into his sleeve, and whispered: "You can't give it like this. Put it in a cloth bag and try something else. Think about what your Majesty still needs."

"Lack of money!" Qiu Zhi whispered: "If your majesty has enough money, you may be able to bribe the people around you. Let's try to do it slowly, a little at a time, and one day we can shake the mountain of Zhao Hanzhang."

Xun Zu felt that what he said made sense. He glanced at the direction of the door and hurried back to the house to grab a handful of pearls and some golden beans and put them in. He tied the bag tightly and stuffed it into his sleeves, and hurried to greet them.

The two of them hurried to the front yard, and before they arrived, they ran into Zhao Hanzhang and the little emperor coming towards them. Ji Yuan met them inside the gate, so he turned around quickly.

Zhao Hanzhang stopped and looked Xun Group up and down, "What's wrong with Censor Xun? He's sweating profusely?"

Xun Zu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "It's a hot day. I was just about to go out to greet His Majesty and the general. Suddenly I remembered that the medicine I told my servants to boil is ready. If my brother drinks the medicine and replies at this time, wouldn't it offend His Majesty?" And the general?"

Zhao Hanzhang: "Recuperation is important. Your Majesty and I are not people who care about red tape."

 The little emperor also nodded, "The Taifu's illness is important."

Zhao Hanzhang raised his feet and went inside, and said casually: "Let the medicine be brought up, and then ask the imperial physician to answer. Your Majesty is very worried about the imperial physician and wants to inquire about the injury in detail."

Xun Zhi immediately sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor, and then asked someone to bring the prepared medicine.

See you tomorrow
