Country is the most important

When Li Zheng returned to Pingyang, he immediately called for Ge Cheng, told Ge Cheng about the situation in the southwest, and insisted on asking Ge Chengma to send troops to rescue Gao Yan from Li Dingzhong.

When Ge Cheng heard that Gao Yan was injured and fell into the hands of Li Dingzhong, he was very anxious, but when he heard that Li Zheng said that he would lead troops to rescue Gao Yan from Li Dingzhong, he hesitated for a while.

"Ge Cheng! What are you waiting for? Your Highness is in danger now! If you are afraid of death and don't want to go to me yourself! You just need to give me five thousand soldiers!" Seeing Ge Cheng's hesitation, Li Zheng yelled at Ge Cheng anxiously .

"Why are you always like this! Your Highness was injured and captured, am I not more anxious than you?!"

"Then what are you waiting for!"

"If you lead troops out like this, what will happen if you report to the emperor?!" Ge Cheng slapped the table and shouted, "This is a rebellion!"

"I..." Li Zheng hesitated, "I just want to save our Highness!"

"Don't you think about who Li Dingzhong is? He is a general sent by the emperor himself. You are taking someone from the emperor. Do you want to die?"

"As long as I can save His Highness! I will risk my life!" Li Zheng said calmly.

"Totally stupid!"

"Who are you scolding?"

"I'm scolding you!"

Li Zheng was about to get angry, Ge Cheng pointed to his nose and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't want your own life! But you don't even think about it, the emperor will let it go like this? Your rebellion is equal to His Highness's rebellion! Are you trying to kill His Highness?"

Li Zheng was left speechless by Ge Cheng's words, he just sat down on the chair with all his strength, slapped the table heavily with one hand and said, "Then tell me, what should I do?"

Ge Cheng also sat down on the chair on the other side, and then sighed: "I don't know either. Before leaving, Your Highness told me to take good care of Pingyang, and don't act rashly. Now that these things come out, we should wait for the capital." Let's talk about the news."

------

Grandpa Tan was transferred from the capital, and Tan Fu temporarily resigned from the Ministry of War due to serious illness.Tan Mansion has long been crowded, and the outside is bleak.

There were two knocks on the door, followed by a squeak, Zhou Fu opened the door, and when he saw the person coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. The medicine is quite effective after taking it, but I didn’t take it last night, and the young master coughed badly today, so go and see the young master.” Zhou Fu said and hurriedly brought in Imperial Physician Hu.

Imperial Physician Hu followed Zhou Fu quickly to the East Wing of Xiyuan, and before entering the door, he heard a loud coughing sound.

Physician Hu opened the door and walked in. Zhou Fu hugged the fire and moved to the bed where Tan Fu was lying, "Master Tan, how are you feeling recently?"

Tan Fu smiled and said, "I have to trouble Dr. Hu again."

"Give me your hand and I'll take a look."

Tan Fu pulled his hand out from under the quilt and placed it in front of Imperial Physician Hu.

Imperial Physician Hu opened Tan Fu's eyelids with two fingers and looked again and again: "You still have to pay attention to rest..." Then he got up and walked to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote a prescription on a piece of paper and handed it to Zhou Fu, "According The above is to grab the medicine, boil three bowls of water into one bowl, and take it four times a day."

After Zhou Fu nodded, he closed the door and went out.

"I have known you for decades, and I have heard about the family affairs, but after all, you still have to take care of yourself." After a while, he said: "The emperor also meant the same thing. The emperor asked me to tell you, call You should take care of your body, and when your body recovers, you can continue to serve the emperor, and don't think about anything else."

"It's rare that the emperor always remembers it, and still asks you to visit me from time to time. Tan Fu is really ashamed." Tan Fu coughed twice while talking.

Imperial Physician Hu got up and stuffed Tan Fu's hand back into the quilt.Then he sat back on the chair again: "The medicine I prescribed for you has a calming effect. You can take a good rest after taking it later. There will always be a solution to the problem."

Tansuke nodded, frowning and coughing lightly.

------

After taking the medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Hu, Tan Fu felt that his cough had eased, so he told Zhou Fu that he wanted to go out for a walk, Zhou Fu tactfully expressed his disapproval.After a few times, Tan Fu didn't mention this matter to Zhou Fu anymore. He knew that Zhou Fu didn't let him leave the mansion because he was worried about his health, but he remembered that he hadn't left the mansion for dozens of days since his illness. Watching Zhou Fu go out to buy medicine, he suddenly summoned three or four servants, saying that they wanted them to accompany him for a walk.

Through the noisy streets, Tan Fu walked more and more to the suburbs. At first, the servants just followed Tan Fu's steps. Unexpectedly, Tan Fu went farther and farther, more and more remote. At first, I was puzzled, but later saw Tan Fu Every time Fu met someone, he would ask if he had seen a young man, and finally realized that Tan Fu said he was going out for a walk to relax, but in fact he still wanted to see if he could find the Fourth Young Master.

After walking a long way, Tan Fu began to cough again and again due to exhaustion. He coughed until he could not walk. The family servants helped each other and said anxiously: "Young master, we are already far away from the capital. Look at the weather. It's getting late, why don't we go back. This cough is just a little better, and it's cold at night, so you should be careful."

Tanfu glanced at the endless front in the twilight, coughed and nodded.

It was already midnight when we returned to Tan Mansion.

Holding a cloak in one hand and a hand warmer in the other, Zhou Fu was standing at the door looking around. He heard Tan Fu's cough from a long distance away. Zhou Fu rushed forward anxiously and put the cloak on Tan Fu's body, "Daddy!" Master, why is it so late? This cough has only been seen for a few days, and it should be worse this time." While talking, he stuffed the hand warmer into Tanfu's chest.

While the servants were busy helping Tan Fu to the east wing of Xiyuan, Zhou Fu's scolding was inevitable.

Tan Fu lay down on the bed, coughing continuously, Zhou Fu hurriedly ordered the servant girl to bring a bowl of medicine for Tan Fu to take.

"Master, if you want to relax in the future, you can walk around the mansion, or it's nearby, don't go so far, your health is important." Zhou Fu looked at the bed with a sad face, closed his eyes and coughed lightly, Tansuke frowned slightly.

"Understood." Tan Fu nodded while talking.

Zhou Fu stepped forward and tucked the quilt up for Tan Fu, "Master, you don't go out in the mansion, and you don't know what's going on outside. It's not very peaceful in the capital recently."

Tan Fu opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Fu suspiciously.

"What happened just yesterday, the old slave also heard from the shopkeeper of the pharmacy when he went to get the medicine this morning."

Tan Fu's eyes widened instantly, "Is there such a thing?"

"Isn't that right? The murderer was masked and had superb martial arts skills. I heard that the guards around him didn't rush to defend. The murderer only pierced his heart with a sword, and His Highness the Thirteenth was killed on the spot."

"Have you caught the murderer? Do you know who it is?"

"The murderer has long since escaped without a trace. The emperor ordered the entire city to search and arrest. Now all the dignitaries and nobles in the capital are in panic." Zhou Fu paused and said, "Even someone as high and powerful as the Thirteenth Highness can be arrested. Killed with a sword, the murderer still doesn't know who it is, who is he not afraid of?"

"But what is his purpose in killing His Highness the Thirteenth?" Tan Fu coughed twice.

"Who knows?" Zhou Fu paused and said, "So, young master, you'd better not go out these days. If there's anything wrong with you, I'm a slave..." Zhou Fu felt a sense of grievance as he spoke Going to my heart, unconsciously a little choked up.

"Okay, I don't want to go out." Tanfu coughed twice.

"The shopkeeper of this pharmacy heard that your cough has not recovered, so he gave some orange stalks to the servant this morning, saying that boiling and drinking can relieve cough." Zhou Fu took out a small bag of dongzi from his pocket and put it in front of Tan Fu. "Wait until the weather is fine, wash and dry them, the old slave will smash them up, cook them and eat them with the young master." Zhou Fu looked at Tan Fu and asked tentatively, "Young master, why don't we give it a try?" try?"

"Sure." Tan Fu nodded, and said to Zhou Fu after a while, "It's getting late today, you should go to rest earlier."

"Hey~ The slave will go back first. You should also rest earlier, young master."

Tansuke closed his eyes and coughed softly.

Zhou Fu looked at Tan Fu lying on the bed, and helped him tuck the quilt before going out, and then closed the door tightly.

Inside the Royal Study Room:

"Well done! The technique is beautiful!" Gao Xian faced Tan Heng, who was kneeling on the ground, with a cold smile on his face.

"It's really an eye-opener for me to be able to complete the mission so cleanly for the first time."

Tan Heng kept kneeling on the ground without making a sound, and during the whole process, he never raised his head.Seen from a distance, his broad and strong shoulders, combined with his body, are clearly defined, giving him a majestic and robust appearance.It's just the hand that was pressed on the ground, clearly visible, with a missing little finger, which made it appear less harmonious.

"Since you have completed the task I gave you so well, and I have kept my promise to you at the beginning, you can go home now, but when I need you, you must always listen to my orders."

Tan Heng knelt in front of the emperor, listening to Gao Xian's sometimes laughing and sometimes cruel words, expressing his sincerity to the person in front of him with two words.

"As ordered!"

After finishing speaking, Tan Heng did not get up to leave, but still knelt on the spot, waiting for the emperor to continue talking.Tan Heng knew in his heart that the emperor knew that what he wanted was not just to return to the Tan mansion, but to get the 'Bao Xin Dan' to save his elder brother's life.But Tan Heng knelt on the ground for a long time and didn't see the emperor say anything again?There was a wave of turmoil in Tan Heng's heart. At that moment, he suddenly had the urge to ask the emperor for the 'Baoxin Pill' again, but what the emperor said before made him feel lingering.

"Is there anything else?" Gao Xian asked Tan Heng who was kneeling on the ground and refused to leave.

Tan Heng was silent for a moment, "Resign from the humble position."

Then he left the imperial palace, drove lightly, and galloped in the direction of Tan Mansion.
