Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"National player, the lord sent a letter back to Beijing because of the concubine's concubine's emergency. His majesty was very worried. He was afraid that the journey would be tiring, so he asked Ben to bring the 16 people's sedan chair. According to the itinerary, the lord should have arrived in An County when the letter arrived in Beijing. After we arrived in Caizhou, the lord would arrive at Xinyang at the shortest time, and it would not take two days to get to Caizhou, but we have waited for almost five days, which is not right."

"General Kong, don't worry, wait a little longer."

"National player, the prince is on the official road, and the road is not hindered. If you have not arrived at this time, there must be a change."

"No, no," Kim Sang-deok shook his head with a smile

"National player, the concubine is sick, and His Majesty is worried after hearing the news. The prince has not returned yet, how can you still laugh?"

"General Kong" Jin Shangde said, "It may not be a bad thing for the prince to delay returning to the city."

"Good thing? How to say?"

"General Kong, Jin has been taking care of the prince and his wife for fourteen years. Although he doesn't know the prince as well as Chief Executive Baili, but Jin only knows a little, so he can conclude that it is a good thing that the prince has not returned at this time."

"Oh? Which point?"

Jin Shangde asked General Kong to go aside and said softly, "You don't need Jin to tell me how the prince treats your empress, General Kong knows a thing or two, right?"

"Yes, there is no one in the capital who doesn't know about this, but... what does this have to do with the prince not returning at this time?"

"Yes, that's why he didn't return." Jin Shangde said, "The lord is most worried about my mother's illness, so I sent someone to the post station to send the letter back to Beijing urgently. It shows how anxious the prince is."

General Kong nodded, and Jin Shangde continued to say, "My lord and General Song both rode horses when they left Beijing, and the empress and princess rode in a caravan with three strong horses. If we really rush into Caizhou quickly, I am afraid that we will be able to do it the next day we arrive." Arrived."

"Yes! But it's several days late now."

"This means that the mother's illness is not serious, and she is getting better."

"what?"

Jin Shangde nodded, "My lord was in a hurry to go back to Beijing to treat my mother's illness, but my mother's illness improved halfway, so my lord stopped rushing and returned to Beijing slowly. In this way, my mother doesn't have to suffer in the caravan anymore." Bumps, you can take a good rest."

"National player" General Kong looked at Jin Shangde, "You are a master in medicine, can you still count?"

"Hehehe, no, Jin only knows how to diagnose diseases."

"Then how do you know that your mother is cured?"

Jin Shangde took out a letter, "This was brought back by the courier at the post station. In the letter, the prince wrote in detail what the doctor said to the empress, and also wrote down the prescriptions that were prescribed before and after. Based on this, Jin deduced that when There will be no mistake."

"So that's the case. No wonder you are not in a hurry. Then... why didn't your lord send letters back to Beijing?"

"Because the prince forgot."

"Huh?" General Kong was taken aback. "Forgot? How do you know the prince forgot?"

"Because the queen recovered from her illness, all the prince's thoughts were on taking care of the queen, and he would not think about other things."

"No way? Such an important thing will be forgotten?" General Kong couldn't believe it, but Jin Shangde nodded affirmatively, "Well, Jin is sure, and to say something disrespectful to the lord, for the sake of your mother, once His Majesty called the lord, the lord I forgot to go, huh, huh."

"This... I have heard people say this, but I didn't expect this to happen?"

"Well, of course." Jin Shangde took out a copper coin and said, "It's better to make a bet. If Jin wins, General Kong will lose me a copper coin."
