Military doctor Zhang Lu did not go to see the lively Lantern Festival. This 18-year-old young man had amazing self-sustainment. He was celebrating the Lantern Festival night in the crowded streets, but he was reading alone at night after the lamp.

In May of the Jiashen year, Zhang Lu was invited from Suzhou to Nanjing by the Jinyiwei, and then received the summons from the emperor. After the emperor's encouragement, she went to the Royal Military Engineering College to take up her post. The Royal Military Engineering College established a military medicine department, which made Zhang Lu feel lucky that she met the miracle doctor Zhu Jiayan here. This miracle doctor Zhu was nearly 60 years old and was a royal family member, but the emperor specially invited an elder to teach medicine. In addition to being taught by Zhu Jiayan, Zhang Lu also accepted a correspondence course for the princess who was far away in Beijing. Under the correspondence course for the princess, Zhang Lu opened

He began to learn surgical knowledge. During his expedition to Laizhou, Zhang Lu brought ten medical soldiers to join him and started Zhang Lu's first surgical operation in his life. The most intense operation was to take shrapnel on the head of the platoon leader Zhang Hanfei. Zhang Lu almost collapsed after the operation. The operation of the platoon leader Zhang was successful. After that, Zhang Lu was no longer afraid when he went on the operating table. The emperor personally led the expedition to Taiwan, and Zhang Lu went out with him and took shrapnel for Wu Sangui and Zheng Hongkui. Zhang Lu is now the first surgery knife in the Ming Dynasty.

After a good Lantern Festival holiday, the eunuch and the Jinyiwei rushed in. Zhang Lu was shocked and didn't know what was going on. The little eunuch spoke a little unscrupulously and shouted:

"Hurry, hurry up, Dr. Zhang, follow us, go to the palace quickly, Princess Changping is waiting."

When Zhang Lu rushed to the palace quickly, Wang Chengen rushed over after hearing the news. The princess called the imperial physician and prepared the operation as quickly as possible. The princess had no choice but to find Zhang Lu to perform the operation. Seeing Zhang Lu arrive at this moment, she immediately ordered:

"Come on, Zhang Lu, start the surgery immediately. The emperor's injury is not serious, don't worry, just the surgery."

The princess has prepared traditional Chinese medicine anesthetics for a long time. This traditional Chinese medicine anesthetic is made of toad, raw Chuanwu, raw grass nectar, pepper, asarum, double-sided needle, borneol, Jiulixiang, Houttuynia cordata, five-fold, and Panax notoginseng. It is a clinically verified anesthetic in later generations. The advantages of the princess who have learned traditional Chinese medicine have been fully reflected. The princess can even prepare another traditional Chinese medicine anesthetic, but the traditional Chinese medicine anesthetics prepared by mandala have some side effects, so it is abandoned.

Zhang Lu washed her hands, took a deep breath, then put on gloves, and began to perform surgery on the emperor.

The princess is full of confidence in Zhang Lu. How could the princess not know about Zhang Lu, who is one of the three famous doctors in the early Qing Dynasty in history! Zhang Lu is as famous as Zhu Jiayan, who changed his name and pseudonym Yu Chang, and later Wu Qian. Wu Qian was not born at this time, so the princess gave a list and asked the emperor to invite Zhu Jiayan and Zhang Lu. The princess originally wanted to invite the famous doctor Fu Qingzhu to Nanjing, but Fu Qingzhu was far away in Shanxi and had nowhere to go, but she was not settled for the time being.

It is precisely because Zhang Lu was young and at the age of the strongest plasticity that the surgical medicine that developed the Ming Dynasty naturally fell on this young man.

This operation is not a complicated operation. Apart from the anesthesia time, two shrapnel were removed in less than an hour of surgery and the wound was sewn. However, this was a surgery for the emperor, and the princess stared at him instantly. Zhang Lu had to be nervous. After the operation, she was already sweating heavily.

After the operation, the princess looked up her pulse and asked Zhu Jiayan who came here to call her pulse. The emperor's pulse was strong. It seemed that as long as she rested for a while, she could recover as before.

Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying had been waiting outside, and Wang Chengen was anxiously waiting for the result. It was not until he learned that the operation was successful that everyone let down his heart. At this moment, the old doctor Zhu was the most authoritative. The old doctor Zhu asserted that the emperor was not seriously injured and prescribed a prescription, claiming that he could recover by just resting for a month or two. Only then did everyone start to be glad that this was really dangerous! If the grenade was not on the side of Zhou Feier, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even so, in addition to the death of the emperor's beloved Zhou Feier, Xiao Shunzi also died, and several eunuchs and personal guards died. But I don't know where this crazy assassin came from?

The so-called disaster never came alone. The news that the pigeon system brought back to Luzon the next day was very bad. One was that the Japanese easily captured Manila on the first day of attack. The other was that the troop transport ship from Taiwan to northeastern Luzon was intercepted by the Japanese "Okumaru". Ten ships were sunk eight, and more than two thousand people were buried at the bottom of the sea. The news came, which made it a little worse. But the emperor was in a coma. Everyone was in a state of silence and had to wait for Chongzhen to wake up.

The Jinyiwei was thoroughly investigating the assassin. Unexpectedly, on the third day, various rumors spread everywhere in the market, and they were circulating with their noses and eyes. Some said that this time was an assassin from the Tartars, some said that it was a Japanese, and of course some said that it was a sent by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, so there was no consensus.

Zhu Tongyi made an appointment with Fatty Jia today, and also made an appointment with Gu Naiwang of the gear set to discuss the gear project. Unfortunately, Gu Naiwang was too busy and could only set the time at night. Fatty Jia set the meeting place at Qingfeng Mingyue Tower. Anyway, this was just a communication before the project was established, so it could be easier. Zhu Tongyi, a son of the royal family, did not think it was inappropriate. Drinking tea was not a big deal, so there was no taboo.

What Zhu Tongyi didn't expect was that when Gu Naiwang arrived, he brought two girls. Gu Naiwang hugged his fists and said:

"Director Zhu, Mr. Jia, I am really sorry! There is still some urgent matter to be done in the evening. I think it's good for you to do this? This is a classmate of Jiang Shangyunjiang, and this is a classmate of Zhu Zhongyun and Zhu. They are both members of my group. They can represent my group. You can only stay here for a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, the two of them will continue to listen to Director Zhu's orders here. How about it?"

Zhu Tongyi also had no choice but to deal with this guy named Gu. This guy is a popular man from Director Wang. He is a bit unaware of the world and cannot control him. So what else can he do! He can only nod.

In fact, this meeting was just a communication. Fatty Jia had obtained the investment planning proposal drawn up by the gear team, which was nothing more than a number of investments, a number of venues, a number of personnel, a number of technical shares that the official should hold, and a list of equipment, etc., and so on. Fat Jia had some questions about this planning proposal, so he specially asked Zhu Tongyi to make an appointment with Team Leader Gu, so he naturally had to ask in person. Of course, there was also the idea of ​​bargaining.

However, when encountering this old-fashioned team leader Gu, Team Leader Gu did not give Fatty Jia a chance to bargain. The investment must be a lot, the venue and personnel must be no different at all, and the official shares will not be reduced by 25%. Fatty Jia muttered: Isn’t there any official account for 15% of other projects? Team Leader Gu immediately rolled his eyes and said: If you like to do it, do it. If you don’t like to do it, some people will do it.

Fatty Jia then realized that he had hit the iron plate today, which was a little frustrated. However, in the future, he would have to ask this team leader Gu to guide his skills, so he had to say in his heart that "a man can stretch and bend", but he pretended to be nothing on the surface.

The leader of the Gu team left at the right time, leaving the two student girls to deal with Zhu Tongyi and Fatty Jia. Fatty Jia saw that Gu Naiwang, the hard-working member, left, wanted to liven up the atmosphere and said:

"The leader of the Gu left before he finished drinking tea. Is it too honest? Everyone said, "Be an official, you have to learn from Hao Lianjie?" As for the rest, Director Zhu is already 'very honest'! Unexpectedly, this leader of the Gu is so honest that he doesn't even drink a cup of tea! Haha!"

Jiang Shangyun also didn't like Gu Naiwang's usual stern face, and smiled, which was a resonance. However, when he turned around, he said it was a gun and a stick:

"The leader of the Gu team is famous for his handsomeness, but fortunately, the leader of the Gu team is not an official. However, this Director Zhu has been in office for only a few days, and Mr. Jia praised him for being honest. Is it a bit exaggerating? If the girl says it is honest, you have to observe her actions, listen to her words, and let time rectify her reputation. Director Zhu, don't know if the girl is right?"

Fatty Jia thought to himself that this aunt is so powerful, no wonder the rumor on the market is that this girl is so stingy.

Speaking of this, Zhu Tongyi had to accept the challenge, and he said with a smile:

"Student Jiang said it well. Xiaoke was just a student of the Military Engineering Academy earlier. This director was just a temporary worker. In Xiaoke's opinion, being an official must be honest and capable! Xiaoke is not talented, and although he has no talent, he will never be a lie. As for integrity, if anyone wants to bribe Xiaoke, it is a delusion, so don't make this idea as soon as possible."

Fatty Jia knew that Zhu Tongyi was a clan of the royal family and was said to be quite favored by the emperor. Not to mention that Fatty Jia really meant to bribe Director Zhu. When he heard this, his heart was shocked and he quickly changed the topic:

"Everyone said that Hao Lianjie played well and his name was good. Hao Lianjie, 'So honest!', but there is rumors that this guy is too famous and is a bit against relatives and friends. Look, the eunuch Xiao Shunzi helped him and blew the offside into a good ball, but he was defeated and died in the Lantern Festival assassination."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhongyun opposite was a fan of Lianjie Hao. She was a little angry when she heard this and said:

"Nonsense! Xiao Shunzi blew a 'black whistle' himself, which caused her life to be short, and she had nothing to do with Hao Lianjie." Zhu Zhongyun and Zhu Zhongmei were cousins ​​and had many contacts. Zhu Zhongmei said that Xiao Shunzi also had discussions in the palace on behalf of the emperor. The eunuchs said that the emperor's whistle could not be blown easily. Xiao Shunzi committed the crime of usurpation and disobedience. He wanted to blow the emperor's grenade, but he killed Xiao Shunzi. There was a blow to the emperor before he died.

However, Xiao Shunzi's burial level was very high. Wang Chengen and the princess subconsciously felt that Xiao Shunzi saved Chongzhen twice. The previous adventure took the opportunity to knock out the eunuch who sold the emperor, allowing the emperor to escape smoothly. This time, he died on behalf of the emperor and was a martyr. It was not an exaggeration to be promoted even if he was a loyal eunuch. Unfortunately, Xiao Shunzi's first rescue was inconvenient, so few people knew it. Xiao Shunzi's life story was only famous for his "black whistle". In this regard, Wang Chengen could only sigh that things in the world are so helpless. It seems that only in a few years can Xiao Shunzi be rehabilitated.

The clouds on the river are touching the scene and think of Zhou Fei'er, who was once a classmate, and her voice, appearance and smile still linger in her heart. Although she felt a little jealous, Zhou Fei'er had already become a vague soul. Jiang Shangyun felt sad and said sadly:

"The little woman heard that the Emperor had saved Zhou Fei'er's life, but Fei'er paid back the Emperor's life this time. Since ancient times, her beauty has been so poor! Fei'er has only been in the palace for more than a month, so she suffered this bad luck. Alas!"

Fatty Jia saw Jiang Shangyun sadly, echoed a few times, and then shifted the topic to the assassin:

"Director Zhu, according to your opinion, what is the origin of this assassin? Rumors are everywhere, and there are all things to say. Are the assassin a Tartar, a Japanese pirate? Or is it a pirate, a pirate, a pirate? Or is it someone else?" In fact, Fatty Jia is well-informed, so he naturally knows that this assassination used the advanced grenade of the Japanese pirates, and it is probably not a pirate or a pirate.

Jiang Shangyun didn't wait for Zhu Tongyi to speak out and said first:

"Of course, this is undoubtedly the Japanese pirates! The emperor defeated the Japanese pirates' prestige at sea and defeated the iron bird. The Japanese pirates held grudges. This assassination must be the commander of the Japanese pirates."

Zhu Zhongyun said:

"I heard that the Tartars colluded with Japanese pirates, it is hard to say that they were not the assassins of the Tartars faction!" The news about Zhu Zhongyun naturally came from Zhu Zhongmei. Zhu Zhongmei was the princess' best friend. The princess didn't know whether the Tartars and the Japanese pirates had colluded. She just made a nonsense guess, but she didn't expect that Zhu Zhongmei felt it was reasonable, and the topic came to Zhu Zhongyun's ears again.

Of course, Zhu Tongyi is also a person with background. The old doctor Zhu is also a branch of King Ning, and he is particularly obsessed with Zhu Tongyi, so the news from Zhu Tongyi is also extraordinary. Zhu Tongyi tapped the table with his fingers and said:

"In the eyes of Xiaoke, the possibility of assassination by Li Zicheng's assassin should be ruled out. The number one enemy under Li Zicheng is the Tartars. If he rashly offends the Ming Dynasty, the ending will be an enemy on both sides. Li Zicheng is not so stupid as to this extent. Therefore, the assassin cannot be sent by Li Zicheng."

Zhu Tongyi stopped, took a sip of tea, and continued:

"Zhang Xianzhong cannot send assassin to assassinate. Zhang Xianzhong has no strength to commit crimes at the moment. Zhang Xianzhong is good at calculating and will never do anything that harms others and does not benefit himself. Zhang Xianzhong's side can also be ruled out."

"Compared with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the Tatars sent people to assassinate, it seems very likely. However, the Tatars also knew that the Ming Dynasty's strength was recovering and that they would not be enemies on both sides. If they angered the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty fully supported Li Zicheng, the Tatars would not be worth the loss. The Tatars could not know the story of the Three Kingdoms, and they started a war with Li Zicheng and challenged the Ming Dynasty, which was not taken by wise people. Therefore, because they could only see that if there was no other reason, the Tatars could not perform assassination."

Zhu Tongyi talked and heard the two girls nodding repeatedly. Although Fatty Jia hit a nail in Zhu Tongyi last time, he didn't like the children of the royal family very much. However, this young man had a clear mind and made sense, and he couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.

Zhu Tongyi had no intention of stopping, and the other three people were waiting for him to continue talking. Zhu Tongyi frowned and said:

"If you are frustrated at sea and then decide to retaliate, it is reasonable for the Japanese pirates to murder the Ming Dynasty. Just murdering the Ming Dynasty can certainly weaken the Ming Dynasty. However, the Japanese pirates' first choice should be to capture North Korea. Criminalizing the Ming Dynasty does not conform to the Japanese pirates' strategy of taking North Korea first. If the Ming Dynasty devotes its efforts to aid Korea, the Japanese pirates may repeat the road of defeating North Korea in Wanli Dynasty. Moreover, if you simply take murder, if you succeed by chance, even if you arouse deep hatred, it is reasonable. If you fail, you will gain nothing and create a mortal enemy in vain, it is really not worth it! In short, the strategy of assassination is not the way to plan for the country. Therefore, small things can be done, and things will not be so simple."

Fatty Jia smiled and said:

"Not this, not that, where did that killer come from?"

Zhu Tongyi smiled slightly and said:

"What if Xiaoke said that it was very likely that the Tartars colluded with Japanese pirates and led to this assassination?"

Jiang Shangyun was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said:

"I hope to hear the details."

When Zhu Tongyi saw Zhu Zhongyun nodded and smiled, he seemed to be proud of taking the lead in throwing out the collusion between the Japanese pirates of Tartars. Zhu Tongyi smiled and said:

"If the Japanese pirates want to attack North Korea, they must first avoid the Ming Dynasty's aid to the North Korea, and the second is to avoid the Tatars' intervention. The best strategy is to pull one side to attack the other side. It is impossible to pull the Ming Dynasty! Then the only way is to pull the Tatars. The Tartars fight against Li Zicheng at this time. If there is strong support, they will not be able to get it. If the Japanese pirates show kindness to the Tartars, they will use the power of giant ships, iron birds, cannons, and lure them. The Tartars are profit-oriented and may reach a dissatisfaction deal with the Japanese pirates. The story of Shi Jingtang in history is not far from the knowledge. The Tartars and Shi Jingtang are both barbarians! If they are not of our race, their hearts must be different. The Tartars give up a North Korea that is not close to them, or make an appointment with the Japanese pirates to deal with the Ming Dynasty in exchange for the Japanese pirates' aid with strong ships and cannons to defeat Li Zicheng, which is very likely. And if the Japanese pirates tempt the Tartars to assassinate the Ming Emperor and use it as a letter of fame, what do you think?"

Fatty Jia gave a thumbs up and praised:

"Not bad! It makes sense!"

Zhu Tongyi sighed and said:

"The Tartars have been coveting the Ming Dynasty for a long time! The Japanese pirates have been hating the Ming Dynasty for a long time! It is not surprising that the two are colluding together. Xiaoke is worried that this murder may be the beginning of the joint efforts of the Tartars Japanese pirates. The Tartars think they have a plan, but they may be exploited by the Japanese pirates, and it may be doomed. Alas! But in this way, the Tartars may lead the wolf into the house, and it will be difficult to pacify Liao!"
