After a while, Prince Hongyu got what he wanted and returned to the palace with Zhou Yue, the Zongwei Chief, and Zhang Qigong, his staff.

But he did not return to the East Palace, but came to Chui Gong Hall.

In the presence of Zhou Yue and Zhang Qigong, Prince Hongyu wrote three edicts and sealed them in the name of his father, Emperor Wei Zhao Yuansi.

Immediately, he took out three more letters from his arms, which were written by Su Wang Zhao Hongrun in front of him: "Wu Ji, the commander-in-chief of the Shangshui Army", "Qu Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Yanling Army", and "Ma You, the commander-in-chief of the Youma Army".

Letters between three people.

Because it was written in front of Prince Hongyu, Zhao Hongyu had already read the content of the letter, and there were no problems - there were no ambiguous or ambiguous sentences.

Looking at these three letters, Prince Hongyu couldn't help but recall the faint sneer on his face when his eighth brother Zhao Hongrun handed these three letters to him in the study room of Prince Su's Mansion just now.

——I don’t know if it’s sarcasm or ridicule.

"..."

Taking a long breath, Prince Hongyu handed the three edicts and three letters to Zong Wei Chief Zhou Yue, and told him: "Send people to Shangshui overnight to capture the Yanling Army, Shangshui Army, and Youma Army.

Three armies were mobilized to Daliang... Let’s say that the imperial court mobilized their three armies to suppress King Qing’s rebellion!”

"I understand my humble position." Zong Wei Chief Zhou Yue nodded, took the edict and letter, and bowed away.

Looking at Zhou Yue's leaving figure, Prince Hongyu took a long breath and suddenly noticed that Zhang Qigong was still standing in the hall, so he asked: "Qigong, is there anything else?"

Zhang Qigong thought for a while, then raised his hands and said: "Your Highness, although King Su and several of his imperial guards have been placed under house arrest in Prince Su's Mansion, there are still Prince Su's Green Crows in the city. I would like to suggest that more patrol guards be sent to the city.

Especially the Prince Su's Mansion... Now that things have come to this, Prince Su must be kept in Daliang no matter what, otherwise, all the previous achievements will be wasted."

Prince Hongyu nodded after hearing this.

Indeed, before the military power of the three armies of Yanling Army, Shangshui Army, and Youma Army has been taken over, how can the eighth brother be allowed to escape from Daliang?

Thinking of this, Prince Hongyu warned: "I'll leave this matter to you. You must be careful. You must know that the green crow under Lao Ba's hands is himself an assassin lurking in the dark. Don't let it happen."

They get an opportunity."

"I obey." Zhang Qigong cupped his hands, but did not leave.

After a moment of hesitation, he lowered his voice and said to Prince Hongyu: "Your Highness, in fact, I have a way to make Prince Su obey and not dare to plot to escape from Daliang."

"What can we do?" Prince Hongyu perked up after hearing this. You must know that what he is most worried about right now is that his eighth brother Zhao Hongrun secretly contacted Qingya to escape from Daliang - after all, this younger brother "does not need the Tiger Talisman to command nearly two people."

A man with an army of 100,000.

Zhang Qigong heard the words and softly read three words: "Ningxiang Palace."

After hearing this, Prince Hongyu was stunned, looked at Zhang Qigong in disbelief, and said in disbelief: "You mean to use Concubine Shen Shu to coerce Lao Ba?"

"Exactly." Zhang Qigong nodded and said seriously: "Everyone in the palace knows that Prince Su Zhao Run is a filial son. Although Concubine Shen Shu is not Prince Su's biological mother, the latter feels the kindness of Concubine Shen Shu in raising her for many years and treats her like her own mother.

As long as His Royal Highness sends troops to surround Ningxiang Palace, there will be no worries about King Su..."

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Prince Hongyu: "That's enough!"

Prince Hongyu looked at Zhang Qigong angrily, frowned and said, "I thought you had some good ideas, but I didn't expect..."

After hearing this, Zhang Qigong said sternly: "Although this plan is despicable, it is more successful because it is thorough... Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked King Su for the military power of the Yanling Army, Shangshui Army, and Youma Army. King Su has already

I have separated from His Highness the Crown Prince. As expected, I must be secretly planning a way to escape from Daliang...

... As the saying goes, if you can only be a thief every day, and you can’t guard against thieves every day, who can guarantee that King Su will not be able to escape from Daliang? It should be noted that there are still many green crows in the city. If they are sparse, King Su can escape.

, wouldn't it be a mistake to miss something important? Therefore, I think that the best way is to make him surrender and stay in Daliang obediently. "

Having said this, he raised his head and secretly glanced at the expression of Crown Prince Hongyu, and said with a strange expression: "Or is it that His Highness the Crown Prince still hopes that in the future, King Su will conquer other countries and open up new territories for His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Hongyu took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to trick me... Qi Gong, I hate Zhao Hongjing so much that I wish I could cut him into eight pieces, but even so, Qing Zhi Palace

Concubine Liu, the biological mother of Zhao Hongjing, I have never felt sorry for her at all...and Hongrun

, he is the only one among the brothers who came to Daliang alone after getting my letter. As he said, he has fulfilled his "duty as a younger brother", and I owe him. In view of this

I will send troops to surround Ningxiang Palace again and use Concubine Shen Shu to coerce Hongrun and make her not a human being!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." Zhang Qigong was still saying something, but was interrupted by Crown Prince Hongyu with a wave of his hand: "Okay, there is no need to mention this matter again. In short, you should act more cautiously, and don't let Qing Ya take advantage of it.

, so that Lao Ba can escape from Daliang...Okay, you can go back and have a rest."

Zhang Qigong glanced at Prince Hongyu for a few times and saw that the latter had a firm attitude. Although he couldn't say anything more, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm resigning."

Before walking out of the gate of Chui Gong Hall, Zhang Qigong couldn't help but look back at Prince Hongyu and shook his head slightly.

He has always been very satisfied with Prince Hongyu, the object of his allegiance. After all, whether the latter is in charge of the city, his skills, his scheming, or his ruthlessness, he is always the best choice, especially after the death of Concubine Shi.

Becoming more utilitarian - Zhang Qigong does not think "utilitarian" is bad, because he himself is a very utilitarian person. In fact, such a change in Prince Hongyu is consistent with his temperament.

However, from today's perspective, he suddenly discovered that His Highness the Crown Prince was not as ruthless as he expected. At least he was still quite soft-hearted in dealing with the brother of Su Wang Zhao Run. Otherwise, as long as His Highness the Crown Prince was willing to use Concubine Shen Shu to intimidate

Su Wang Zhao Run, how dare the latter plot to escape from Daliang again - those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters, this is the best strategy!

"...I can't help but do it. If this happens, I will have to put in a lot of effort."

After straightening his clothes, Zhang Qigong stepped out of Chui Gong Hall. He wanted to go back and think carefully about how to guard against King Su Zhao Run trying to escape from Daliang.

After Zhang Qigong left, Prince Hongyu sat silently on the prince's seat in the inner hall of Chui Gong Hall - the same position where he sat when handling government affairs and reviewing memorials in Chui Gong Hall.

At this time, the face of his eighth brother Zhao Hongrun could not help but appear in his mind, including those with contempt, sneer, and indifference. It seemed as if there were more than a dozen faces of Zhao Hongrun appearing in his mind.

Inadvertently, Prince Hongyu glanced to the right.

On his right side is the Dragon Case, and behind the Dragon Case is his father's seat.

"..."

After watching silently for a while, Prince Hongyu stood up, walked slowly to the seat that belonged to the king of Wei, and slowly knelt down in the seat. He puffed up his sleeves with both hands, rested his hands on the dragon table, and looked down.

Those seats in front of me.

"...My son, you must become the king of my country in the future. When the time comes, you will be able to live a good life as your mother."

"Mom, your life is already very good now, you are leisurely and... oops."

"You brat, look for a beating!"

"Mother, I was wrong, I was wrong...Mother, don't worry, the child will work hard to sit in that position. I want to rule my subjects like my father, and make my Wei Dynasty stronger and stronger. Let my Wei Dynasty become more powerful."

Dominate the Central Plains and become the most powerful country in the Central Plains!"

"Huh?... My son has ambitions, and my mother will support you!"

"..."

With his eyes slightly closed, Prince Hongyu sat in the empty Chuigong Hall. At this moment, his heart was as lonely as this silent hall.

"Mom, my child is only one step away from this position, but you are no longer here..."

Touching the things on the dragon table that once belonged to his father, Prince Hongyu felt no joy at all.

He has imagined more than once what it will be like when he sits in this seat one day.

Slowly, Prince Hongyu raised his hand and pointed to the bottom of the steps - in his mind, there should be his mother Shi Guifei there, with a face of excitement and joy. After the joy was over, he wanted to find Queen Wang and show off immediately.

Swearing at Queen Wang’s “son” Zhao Hongli.

After a moment, Prince Hongyu pointed to the seat opposite him with his finger - in his mind, there should also be his eighth brother Su Wang Zhao Hongrun who supported him there. The latter was wearing brocade armor and a war robe, kneeling on one knee.

On the ground, with his hands clasped in fists and a smile on his face, he presented the flags of Han, Chu, and Song (Northern Bo Army).

Then, I don’t know who it was, but in the mind of Prince Hongyu, this Manna Palace should be filled with virtuous ministers and fierce generals from his Wei Kingdom.

But when he came back to his senses, he realized that he was the only one in this empty inner hall of the hanging arch hall.

After realizing this, he closed his eyes silently.

"This is really..."

Prince Hongyu smiled bitterly and touched the dragon case in front of him, feeling inexplicably lonely.

His mother, who he once most wanted to share his achievements with, is no longer here, and his brother, who was once the closest to him, is now a stranger to him.

Now, perhaps he really only has one throne left - a lonely throne.

Taking a deep breath, Prince Hongyu slapped his cheeks with both hands, and murmured to himself: "I am Prince Zhao Yu. I will become the king of Wei. I will surpass my father's achievements and become the king of the Wei Dynasty."

The great Wei Mingjun whom future generations admire..."

At this moment, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of someone sneaking around at the exit of the inner hall, and shouted: "Who?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zong Wei Chief Zhou Yue walked in with a hesitant look on his face and said anxiously: "Your Highness, this is a humble position."

After saying that, he secretly glanced at His Royal Highness sitting on the throne, and then quickly lowered his head, pretending that he had not seen it.

"It's you."

Prince Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he was secretly amused at his own suspicion - the entire Chui Gong Palace was filled with guards and chamberlains he had personally selected and promoted, so what was there to worry about?

"Have you been sent to Shangshui?" he asked slowly.

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Zhou Yue nodded, then clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late, why not go back to the East Palace to rest."

Prince Hongyu nodded, then glanced at the empty inner hall and sighed again silently.

At this moment, a man wearing armor hurriedly walked into the palace. He was none other than Prince Hongyu's Zongwei "Gu Shen". The latter clasped his fists towards Prince Hongyu and said, "Your Highness, Fengyi Palace.

Eunuch Feng asked to see him, saying he had something important to see him."

"Feng Lu?" Prince Hongyu frowned, and couldn't help but think of his biological mother, Queen Wang, who was sitting in Fengyi Palace. His face suddenly sank, and he asked sadly: "What is he here for?"
