8, falcon

The sixth prince was poisoned in his infuriating, which led to a serious illness. Although he survived, his body was destroyed, and his vitality passed faster than anyone else. As for the other princes who have not been assassinated, it does not mean that no one has done anything to them, but that the person who did it did not succeed or did not have an impact.

But only the seventh prince, after several investigations, there has been no trace of any hidden harm, which can't help but make her feel incredible. It's rare that he is really a true son of heaven, with a lark?

After telling Zhener the truth about the assassination of the sixth prince in those years, Cheng Yuanjia also made an unexpected decision, asking her to thoroughly investigate what many concubines had done after entering the palace. These things are not a little bit of work, but the people who are controlled by her will carry out them without discount.

The seventh prince rushed to the capital in a hurry. Along the way, he was ordered by Cheng Yuanjia that the people in charge of receiving Cheng's store would appear in time and prepare food and dry food and drinking water for him. Otherwise, with his empty virtue, he would have fallen down before he arrived in the capital. Cheng Yuanjia stared at him quietly in the sky thousands of feet above his head.

The thousand-mile chasing wind lent to the seventh prince is the better one among the horses she raised. These horses were selected by her from thousands of colt, and then washed their roots and bones with the water of the spiritual spring. Some healthy herbs were added to the fodder fed. Each of these horses was no less than the best royal horse of the royal family, and with her special cultivation, it was even better. The seventh prince was on his way day and night. If it was an ordinary horse, he would have been exhausted for a long time, but this thousand miles of chasing the wind was abrupt to support him for a day and a night. After driving out two thousand miles, his physical strength was exhausted. Fortunately, Cheng Yuanjia had made arrangements for a long time. When he couldn't support the wind for thousands of miles, another flying yellow horse was ready so that he could replace it in time. For Cheng Yuanjia's magical arrangement, the seventh prince is only due to the eagle, which can only travel thousands of miles in an instant, and he didn't think much about it.

The sleepless journey for three days and three nights exhausted the three thousand miles of horses of Cheng Yuanjia. The seventh prince finally rushed back to the capital and appeared in the mourning hall of the sixth prince. The rules in the palace are different from that of the people. After the death of the prince, the time for condolences is six days, and then it is placed in a special mourning hall in the Zongzheng Temple, and can only be buried after the completion of the imperial mausoleum. Both the early death and the prince and princess who died without a fief were buried in the emperor's tomb. The construction began on the day of the death of the prince and princess, and it can generally be completed in about two years, that is to say, within two years, the coffins are placed in Zongzheng Temple.

The seventh prince could actually appear in the mourning hall on the fifth day of condolences, which shocked the king of Qi. He knew that the seventh prince and the sixth prince had a good relationship. He was worried that he would return to Beijing regardless of the emperor's order and be caught by someone who wanted to take the opportunity to participate in him, so he did not send him the news of the death of the sixth prince, but the seventh prince still came back. Looking at his favorite brother's tired look, the king of Qi still didn't say what he blamed. It was the nature of the seventh prince, and it was also the place where the king of Qi valued him most. If others are allowed to ascend the throne, it is difficult to say how many princes can survive. Even the king of Qi himself does not think that he will let other princes except the seventh princes live well. But only the succession of the seventh prince will give all the princes a way to live. If he is kind, he will not attack his brother. Even if there is anything wrong with him, he will not kill them all.

Sure enough, as soon as the seventh prince arrived in the mourning hall, the Xiang family who came to hear the news showed an unkind smile.

An hour later, the emperor and Prince Qian appeared in the mourning hall. The emperor saw the sad seventh prince in front of the coffin of the sixth prince and said sadly, "You are really in a hurry to come back. Uncle Huang told me yesterday that you would come back today, but I still don't believe it. Lao Liu has only passed away for five days. You are far away in Minzhou. Normally, it is normal to know the news of death now, but you have rushed back, which makes me curious who has such a great ability to make you so fast.

After waiting for the seventh prince to answer, a woman's voice came from the door: "It was the seventh prince I notified, and I also arranged for the seventh prince to come back within three days."

Everyone turned their eyes to the door and saw a beautiful woman who stopped breathing in. It was Cheng Yuanjia who arrived.

Only the seventh prince knew that this person was not the real Cheng Yuanjia, but Cheng Yuanjia's maid Zhen'er pretended to be. Although he didn't see that Zhen'er had any flaws, when she approached, he did not feel the desire to hold her in his arms.

Of course, it was also Cheng Yuanjia's arrangement that Zhen'er could appear here at the right time. After all, it was not a minor crime for the seventh prince to return to Beijing without obeying the emperor's order. With the strength of Cheng Yuanjia and Prince Qian, they should be able to get the seventh prince through this level safely.

Cheng Yuanjia, disguised as Zhen'er, bowed to the emperor and said, "My court lady kowtowed to the emperor. The minister knew that the seventh prince and the sixth prince were deeply in love with each other. This time, the sixth prince and the world passed away. The seventh prince must be very sad. If he can't even catch up with his condolences, this kind of pain and regret will haunt him all his life. Therefore, the minister sent a message with a ten thousand-mile harrior eagle and sent the message to Minzhou within a day and handed it to the seventh prince. At the same time, three thousand-mile good horses were arranged along the way, so that the seventh prince could appear in the mourning hall at this time. The minister made the decision without authorization. If the emperor wants to punish the seventh prince, please punish the minister first.

Because Prince Qian had passed yesterday, the emperor did not pay much attention to the return of the seventh prince. He immediately exempted the crime of the seventh prince, and praised him for a few words because he paid attention to brotherhood. The king of Qi was relieved and was very grateful to Cheng Yuanjia. She could do so much that it could be seen how much the seventh prince had in her heart.

Seeing the disappointed look on the Xiang family's face, the King of Qi was even more happy.

The emperor did not want to pursue the funeral of the seventh prince, but he was very curious about Cheng Yuanjia's methods and said, "How many eagles do you have? How did you train it?"

Cheng Yuanjia, pretending to be Zhener, bowed and said, "To the emperor, although this ten thousand miles of eagle is known as ten thousand miles, in fact, it can only fly six or seven thousand miles a day. This is already the most durable bird that can fly long distances, and it flies high and is not afraid of being hunted. But the training was very difficult, and the minister also paid a considerable price to train two. These two are a pair. When the two falcons are separated, as long as one of the falcons is released, it will fly to the place where the other falcons is in the shortest time. Although it can only be sent once, it is also a success because of its speed. This pair of eagles is selected from hundreds of young eagles. Their physique and temperament are the best choice. When breeding, they should not be exposed to other eagles, so that they can choose each other as their partners without any choice. Once you come into contact with other peers, you can't be single-minded, and the training will fail. As an adult, the two falcons will stay together all the time, and once they are separated, they will be restless. After the seventh prince went to Minzhou, the minister sent a domestic slave to send a harrel eagle to Minzhou. First, it was to try the extreme distance of the harrel eagle to send a letter. Second, the minister asked the seventh prince for something, and she could also use this to send a letter. Third, she also wanted to see how long the harrel eagle had been separated, and it would be indifferent. Unexpectedly, as soon as the eagle arrived in Minzhou, this happened, and the minister immediately passed on the message.

Jane's answer is very ingenious. First of all, she explained the difficulty of training falcons. It must be in pairs to play a role. Only one pair can be trained at a time, and it can only be sent once in two pre-set places. For use in the army, it must be very impractical. Of. This blocked the emperor's idea of wanting a past and made him retreat in the face of difficulties. Secondly, it implies that the cost of breeding falcons is very high. Only one pair can be selected from hundreds of young eagles, and how many young eagles can be used in the world for them to choose. Finally, she explained that she sent the eagle to Minzhou mainly for the purpose of training the eagle, and did not mean to convey the news of Beijing to the seventh prince. In this way, the emperor was blocked by her, and at the same time, the emperor would not embarrass the seventh prince because he was jealous of the close relationship between the seventh prince and Cheng Yuanjia.

No one noticed that when Zhen'er said these words, Prince Qian looked up and down with uncertain eyes, and his face was a little ugly.
