Chapter 7 Missing the National Teacher

After the two postmen came out of the Zhao King's bedroom, they met the crown prince Zhao Teng and the princess head-on, and immediately bowed to bow.

"What are you holding in your hands?" Zhao Teng asked sideways and turned around and looked at them fiercely.

"Crown Prince! It's King Zhao's noodle, so I asked us to send a letter to Lord Zhou Jingyang."

The prince Zhao Teng stretched out his hand to them and glared at them. The postman Long Fei obediently took out the letter from his clothes and handed it to the prince. The prince opened it and read it. It said: In recent days, the weather has gradually become cold and lonely! He felt very depressed, his heart was beating in a mess, his head was dizzy, his limbs were weak, and he also took medicine from Taoist Master. Unfortunately, it was difficult to relieve it, and I was afraid that my illness could not be relieved by medicine. When I asked Taoist Master Li, Wang Xing in the sky gradually became dim. Previously, both the meeting hall and the bedroom were very lively. Without you, it was not as good as before. You are older than me, and I don’t know how to sleep? Is his son good? I hope you come and talk about the past.

After seeing this, the prince only talked about some housework and was ready to give it to the two postmen. The princess quickly snatched it over, looked at it, called the prince aside and said, "Crown Prince! This letter cannot be sent away, so he may bring reinforcements."

"Don't be too sensitive. Brother Zhao Ji has been in the death row. His father will inevitably be lonely. He is the best with Zhou Jingyang in his life. He is about to die. He will have a longing for his old friends. This is also a normal human nature."

"It seems that you are sympathizing with your elder brother. It's not my beauty trick. You will be today."

"After all, my elder brother and I are brothers. If we were not born in the palace, we would not have killed each other."

"It seems that you regret it a little. It's wrong with our Wang family. For you, we have had a lot of grudges with Chen and Cao."

Prince Zhao Teng snatched the letter from the princess, turned around, threw it at the two postmen, and said, "Why don't you get out of here; otherwise, cut off your heads."

The two of them hurriedly left the palace, got on the horse, and rushed towards the Xiaoyao Valley in Kunxiang Mountain. Thinking back on just now, they were shocked and sweating.

Fang Yun complained: "The former crown prince Zhao Ji treats people with a gentle attitude, no matter how noble he is, and rarely beats and scolds him; the crown princess Chen Yue treats his servants, they are really born a couple, but they are a pity that they are framed by evil people. The King of Zhao likes to believe in the king's fairies and do not distinguish between innocence."

"Brother Yun! Be careful that your tongue is cut."

"We have worked together for so long, you! Don't I believe it yet?"

"Are we just humble people? Should we send the letter safely as soon as possible and do not make any mistakes. This is to repay King Zhao's favor."

Zhou's family assisted King Zhao for generations, understood astronomy, medicine, historical books, strategies, etc., and implemented hereditary system. By the Zhou Jingyang generation, it had been passed down for dozens of generations and had a lot of books in his family. His son Zhou Yihang was diligent and studious since childhood, and he was also smart and kind. Herbs, star maps, formations, etc. have been learned from his father 60% to 70% and sometimes he created it himself, which made his father think for a long time. He also has unique and hobbies, likes to draw, and is especially good at landscape painting and figure painting.

There are many intrigues in the palace, and no matter how smart people are, they sometimes lose their feet. This time, it is really miserable. The cause of the incident was: Wang Shun is charming, charming, good at plotting and vicious, and young, and is very popular with King Zhao. After designing to frame Concubine Wu, he slandered Wu Chaoyun, who was guarding the southeast, hoarded food and grass, recruited soldiers, and committed rebellion with his father inside and outside, while outsiders knew the right and wrong and were extremely anxious. After finding the evidence,

King Zhao wanted to punish the Wu family, but Chen Deming and Cao Shujun clearly opposed it. Zhou Jingyang knew that the Wu family was kind and loyal to King Zhao, and strongly opposed it. He did not hesitate to this black hat. However, when it came to the Zhao family, no matter how good the relationship with Zhou Jingyang was, King Zhao had to be cruel and ruthless. In the end, he decided to be executed by the entire Wu family and implicated the nine tribes, leaving no one left. Zhou Jingyang, King Zhao was kicked out of the palace in anger and could no longer enter the conference hall.

After being driven out, Zhou Jingyang chose Kunxiang Mountain to live in seclusion. He had long been a yearning for this mountain and often came here for herbs. Here are steep mountains, lush forests and bamboos, and many flowers and plants. Several streams flow, beasts roaring and birds singing, and herbs are complete and lush. In spring, flowers are blooming, bees and butterflies compete, drizzling, clouds and mist; in summer, pines are tall, green grass is green, and the stream water is cool and refreshing; in autumn, yellow leaves fall with the wind, and various wild fruits are salivating; in winter, goose feathers are heavy snow, wrapped in silver ropes, ripples, snow plums, and linger. It is also a fine product in the mountains, with flowers lingering, streams and waters intersecting, summer is cool and warm in winter, elegant and quiet. The lake in front of it is called Wangyou Lake, clear and reflecting in the water, which is more beautiful.

It is rare to be light when taking off the official uniform, but Zhou Jingyang still had something to worry about for a long time: the great master, father, and father were not able to understand it. This is the origin of the snow demon. Master Xuantian said that the snow monster can turn into a snow demon, the snow demon can turn into a snow demon, and the snow demon can turn into a snow demon, and the fourth level of the demon and ghost monster are present, and the rest has not been explained clearly. Now that I have time, I can think about it carefully. Before the snow demon, a village near the snow mountain suffered a strange disease. When I saw a living person, I wanted to suck his blood until he died. Then it gradually spread. One village, two villages, and the whole mountain was full of villages. King Zhao ordered the wall and arrows to be blocked. Soon after, the snow demon appeared in the village, and the number increased rapidly. Now that I think about it, the snow demon must be related to that disease, but as for the process, I still couldn't figure it out; Master Xuantian was also hesitant about it.

More than a year after leaving the capital, his son Zhou Yihang was in front of Wangyou Lake. He often saw his father thinking about old scenery, old things, and old people. He knew that his father was still concerned about the country and King Zhao. In order to understand his worries, in addition to relaxing on a mini path next to Wangyou Lake, he took himself up the mountain to collect herbs and helped nearby villagers to cure illnesses and relieve worries. King Zhao is currently only blinded by beauty. After his demotion, King Zhao often ordered local officials to greet more and take care of them in material things.

The two post officials rushed to the frontier and slept in the wind and flew in the open air. They exchanged for two fast horses in a row. In less than three days, they arrived in Kunxiang Mountain. They didn't want to alarm the local officials for the time being, but just wanted to hand the letter to Master Zhou quickly, so they headed straight to Xiaoyao Valley.

When they arrived at Xiaoyao Valley, they called Master Zhou a few times, but there was no response. They guessed that they were going up the mountain to collect herbs. The mountain was so big that it was difficult to find, and there was no one in the house, so they dared not enter. They discussed waiting in the yard.

Suddenly it rained lightly and the temperature gradually dropped; at first, they didn't realize it because they were rushing to go, and gradually felt that their clothes were thin. They still endured it and continued to wait in the yard, looking around the surrounding mountains, like a fairy mirror.

Before they knew it, the sky gradually became dark, and Long Fei and Fang Yun began to get anxious, fearing that Master Zhou would be surprised on the mountain. The two walked frequently in the yard, and sighed and shook their heads when they looked at each other. Suddenly, a light spot in the distance gradually became bigger. When they got closer, they saw an old man and a young man, who were about to call the adults, were disappointed. The other party had already spoken.

"Two officials! What's the point of being here in the wilderness?

"Old man! We were sent by King Zhao and we specially visited Master Zhou."

"I am the butler of Master Zhou, named Zhou Ping. This is my nephew, named Zhou Yan. I just came from the mountain and bought some grain. Haven't Master Zhou returned yet?" said Mr. Zhou:

"I didn't see it, I went up the mountain to collect herbs? Will there be any accident?"

"Don't talk nonsense, the gods will take care of you."

The young man rushed to say, "Uncle! Look, you're here!" He pointed at the opposite side of the lake, and there was also a light.

Everyone's sadness was resolved immediately. The old man reproached to the two post officials: "I saw it, I cursed the lord just now!"

"I'm a little stupid person, I will explain it to Master Zhou."

Everyone walked outside the yard, raised the torch and waited. After a while, Master Zhou and his son arrived.

"Sir! I will bring a letter from King Zhao at the order of King Zhao." Long Fei said as he took it out of his arms and handed it over to Master Zhou.

"Don't worry, it's cold, go into the house. Lao Zhou! Come and take a tea."

"Yes, Master!"

After entering the house, they sat down in sequence. Fang Yun stood up and said, "King Zhao specifically reminded me that he must see Master Zhou finish reading the letter with his own eyes. After reading it, he will naturally arrange the next step and not eat tea for the time being."

Zhou Jingyang also felt that King Zhao had sent people to deliver letters from thousands of miles away, and he might have something big to happen. He looked carefully and said that it was just a matter of talking about things and reminiscing about the past. He thought, it was probably not that simple.

"How is the king now?"

"I'm bedridden now. I heard that I haven't entered the conference hall for a long time. I'm not in good spirits at present, my face is ugly, I often have coughs, and occasionally I have blood."

"What big thing happened in the palace in the past year?"

"There is nothing more than that the prince was deposed and Zhao Teng was newly appointed as the eldest son. As for the reason of his body, I really don't know."

"Zhao Teng has always been incompatible with the prince, and he is more sinister and is quite close to Wu. This is known to everyone in the world, and there may be major events unknown to everyone."

Long Fei and Fang Yun did not know the content of their belief, so they were asked inexplicably by Master Zhou and looked at each other in a daze.

Long Fei rushed to say, "Remember, I don't know if this matter is related to this. When I first came out of the king's palace, I saw Zhao Teng and the princess walking here, asking us what we said, and rushing to read it. My face was a little panicked, and I was muttering something on the side. I occasionally heard beauty schemes, sympathy and so on."

"Since Zhao Teng became the prince, who is the commander of the guard?"

"At first it was Yang Wenjian, but since King Zhao was ill, he has disappeared. Now it is Wen Xueqing."

"No, King Zhao is in danger."

Hearing this, Zhou Yihang was shocked and picked up the letter on the table and looked at it. It seemed that King Zhao was fine, but he didn't see any pros and cons. He asked his father: "My father! King Zhao's letter was just to be slanted with you, and he didn't see any dangers."

"You are still young and have not participated in the affairs of the court. Naturally, you don't understand the sinister nature of people. Now you can't win. I'll talk to you in detail on the way."

"Long Fei! Fang Yun! Before coming here, did you not disturb the place?"

"Sir! When we take on tasks, we are assigned by our superiors. This time we went to the King of Zhao's bedroom in person, and we felt that this matter must be big and urgent. Therefore, we went straight to the Lord as soon as we arrived here."

"That's best. It will be a good fortune to return to the capital this time. We must do so so that we can be relatively safe. Due to the urgent matter, we hope that the two of you will prepare your vehicles and horses early tomorrow."
