————The following text————
When he heard the word "Yongwang", even though Zhao Hongli, who had been thinking about it for a full year and had greatly improved his character, felt a wave of disgust in his heart at this moment, he wished he could immediately order his servants to kill that Yongwang.
His aide Zhang Qigong drove him away with sticks.
After all, if it hadn't been for Yong Wang Hongyu, Zhao Hongli would have ended up like this?
Looking back on the "Beiyi Military Camp Roar" incident, Zhao Hongli never let the Donggong Party who supported him lie about the war profits, but Yong Wang Hongyu clung to this point to suppress it, and even in the end, he dared to instigate Beiyi
The forces of the Yong Wang Party in the army led them to launch a military coup. So far, Zhao Hongli has not found any evidence to prove that Yong Wang Hongyu did it secretly, but he still firmly believes that the latter did it.
In addition, now that King Yong Hongyu has received the honor of supervising the country, and Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, has become a deposed prince, how can Zhao Hongli swallow this bad breath?
But in the end, Zhao Hongli still held back the anger in his heart and turned his attention to his staff Luo Yao, wanting to hear his opinion.
After all, it is undeniable that Yong Wang Hongyu was one of the direct factors why Zhao Hongli would fall to this point, but the more critical reason is that he, Zhao Hongli, did not listen to the advice of Luo Yao, a great sage.
Take the matter of Zhou Min for example.
After deciding to defect to King Huan Zhao Hongxuan, Zhou Min felt the kindness of Luo Yao, so he wrote all the conspiracies of King Yong Hongyu in a letter and sent it to Zhao Hongli. Zhao Hongli was stunned - Zhou Min, whom he once relied on,
It turned out to be a spy sent by Yong Wang Hong.
And he, a fool, actually treated Zhou Min, who was obviously uneasy and well-meaning, as a guest of honor and obeyed his words, but he treated Luo Yao, who had always been fully assisting him, without any pretense.
Unfortunately, although Zhou Min revealed everything in his letter, this letter was not enough evidence to deal with Yong Wang Hongyu.
But having said that, this letter also made Zhao Hongli make an important decision: no matter what happens in the future, he must listen to Luo Yao's advice.
Seeing Zhao Hongli turn his gaze towards him, Luo Yao immediately understood, and felt a vague sense of comfort in his heart that he could see the moonlight when the clouds opened - the person he was loyal to finally trusted him completely.
Although this matter came a little late, Luo Yao believed that there was still a turning point before the end.
No, Yong Wang Hongyu, who was once their greatest enemy, didn't he also send people to contact them this time in an attempt to resolve the previous war?
After thinking about it, Luo Yao said to Zhao Hongli: "Your Highness, you might as well listen to the purpose of Zhang Qigong's visit... If his purpose does not satisfy Your Highness, Your Highness might as well send your servants to beat him up."
"Good!" Zhao Hongli sneered twice and ordered his servants to invite Zhang Qigong, King Yong's staff.
After a while, Zhang Qigong came to the study under the guidance of the servants of Zhao Hongli's house.
When he saw Zhang Qigong, Luo Yao secretly looked at his appearance. As the saying goes, "Hearts are born from each other." A person's inner good and evil will greatly change his appearance. The most direct change is his eyes.
.
Seeing Zhang Qigong at this time, Luo Yao didn't feel very good, because Zhang Qigong's appearance was a bit sinister and his eyes were too sharp. Nine out of ten people like this are indifferent.
Coupled with Zhou Ming's description of Zhang Qigong, Luo Yao was quite unhappy when he first saw Zhang Qigong, so he sat aside and said nothing.
"Sit down."
Zhao Hongli asked his servants to move a stool for Zhang Qigong, and then said in a bad tone: "You are the person sent by King Yong. I didn't want to see you, but my staff advised me to see you anyway, and he treated me very well."
He said, if your words do not satisfy me, I will ask my servants to beat you up with sticks. Therefore... I hope you will take care of yourself."
"..."
Hearing this, Zhang Qigong glanced sideways at Luo Yao, feeling slightly surprised.
"Not a bad response." He smiled lightly.
In fact, Zhao Hongli still thought relatively simply. He interpreted Luo Yao's words "If you can't satisfy His Highness, you can beat him with sticks" to mean that Luo Yao supported him to beat Zhang Qigong, a member of King Yong, to vent his anger. But in fact,
, the reason why Luo Yao said this has a deeper meaning.
For example, let the people of King Xiang and King Qing know that his original power in the East Palace was not integrated with King Yong.
I believe Zhang Qigong could also think of this, so he lightly praised Luo Yao for his "good response".
After sitting down, Zhang Qigong thought for a moment, and because of Luo Yao's warning, he gave up the idea of coaxing Zhao Hongli.
When Zhou Min was still here, Luo Yao was frustrated around Zhao Hongli, and Yong Wang Hongyu still had the opportunity to coax Zhao Hongli. But now, Zhao Hongli has obviously obeyed Luo Yao's words. If Zhang Qigong still wants to play any tricks at this time, he may really be killed.
The servants in this house were beaten out with sticks.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhang Qigong decided to explain his intention straight to the point. In his opinion, Luo Yao had probably already guessed it, so there was no need to hide it anymore.
So he bowed his hands and said, "His Royal Highness King Yong sent me here to invite His Highness the eldest prince to return to the temple."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongli sneered twice and turned his attention to Luo Yao.
Maybe Zhao Hongli was really not good at running an army, but he could still see some things about the intrigues in the court after being the prince for so many years.
Obviously, under the joint siege of King Xiang Hongjing and King Qing Hongxin, King Yong Hongyu could not hold on any longer, so he thought of Zhao Hongli, an old rival of his, trying to unite his forces to compete with King Xiang and King Qing.
.
To be fair, when he thought about this incident, Zhao Hongli felt very happy because he was dragged down by Yong Wang Hongyu. Therefore, he felt very happy today when he learned that Yong Wang Hongyu was not doing well either.
As for weighing the pros and cons and whether to consider resolving the conflict with King Yong, he left the matter to Luo Yao. After all, Luo Yao was far more intelligent and wise than him and considered things more carefully.
Moreover, Luo Yao is worthy of trust.
Therefore, after signaling Luo Yao, he stood up and said as if he didn't care: "Luo Yao, I made an appointment with Yonglu to teach him how to read and write today. You can entertain this person on my behalf."
The Yonglu he spoke of was his eldest son, Zhao Yonglu, the emperor's eldest grandson, and the former crown prince.
"As ordered." Luo Yao smiled and cupped his hands. When sending Zhao Hongli off, he glanced at Zhang Qigong, who had a somewhat surprised face.
Luo Yao secretly praised Zhao Hongli's move. After all, this move immediately elevated his status, giving Luo Yao an advantage when talking to Zhang Qigong later.
Of course, Luo Yao felt in his heart that Zhao Hongli left because he was worried that he could not help but ask someone to beat Zhang Qigong to vent his anger. Who said Zhang Qigong was a member of King Yong?
But having said that, once Zhao Hongli left, Luo Yao and Zhang Qigong could talk more straightforwardly, because they are both smart people.
"Oh, even though the eldest prince has lost power, why do you think that the eldest prince has become more and more worthy of being feared?" Zhang Qigong smiled and implicitly praised Luo Yao.
It's a pity that Luo Yao didn't appreciate it and said sarcastically: "Maybe it's because there is one less insider?"
Zhang Qigong frowned slightly. Of course he understood who Luo Yao was referring to. After snorting softly, he said casually: "It is said that this person is doing well with King Huan?"
"This is called the path of heaven and man. For those who change their minds and turn from darkness to light, God will always let them go." Luo Yao said lightly.
Zhang Qigong glanced at Luo Yao and wanted to ask "Who is the bright and who is the dark", but due to the purpose of his visit, he finally endured it and said to Luo Yao straight to the point: "King Yong welcomes the eldest prince back to the temple. This
It is a good thing for the eldest prince, you Luo Yao should understand clearly..."
"I don't think so." Luo Yao shook his head and said, "I would rather have His Highness sneak down temporarily and watch King Yong with a smile as he fights one against two."
Zhang Qigong narrowed his eyes when he heard this and said coldly: "Do you think the eldest prince can sneak down?"
After hearing this, Luo Yao smiled and said: "It seems that King Yong is planning to fight one against three..."
"You..." Zhang Qigong was suddenly speechless.
After a long time, Zhang Qigong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "What do you want?"
Luo Yao thought for a moment and said: "Let me first listen to King Yong's recent plans. I hope that I will not hide anything and I can distinguish the truth from the false."
Zhang Qigong frowned and stared at Luo Yao for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Okay! It doesn't hurt to tell you...'The Four Orders of Hedong'."
In fact, there are far more than four county magistrates in Hedong County. But when Zhang Qigong said "Hedong Four Orders", he could only be referring to the "Beiqu Order", "Pishi Order" and "Fenyin Order" in the western part of Hedong County.
Order" and "Pu Ban Order".
These are the four most popular official positions at the moment, and I don’t know how many people are fixated on these four positions.
The reason is very simple, because when the land of Hexi is about to become the territory of the Wei State, these four counties are very likely to become garrison locations. Therefore, taking control of the county is equivalent to indirect control to a large extent.
formed an army.
The only difference is that the domestic nobles value the interests that can drive these troops to plunder Hexi in the future, while King Yong, King Xiang, King Qing and others value military power.
The reason why these people did nothing for the time being was just because they heard about something - King Su Zhao Hongrun went to Hedong in person.
For Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, the nobles in the country cannot say that they are afraid, but they are somewhat jealous. Although the Sanchuan trade incident proved that even His Highness Su Wang could only compromise with the domestic aristocratic forces in the end, but with the superiors
Again, unless Zhao Hongrun made it clear that he would not allow any non-imperial forces to interfere with the Four Orders of Hedong, the nobles in the country would still not want to offend His Highness, who holds military power.
Being a standout usually doesn't end well, especially when His Highness King Su is holding a powerful crossbow.
In fact, even King Xiang and King Qing did not want to turn against this brother.
Therefore, the people in the Wei Kingdom are still waiting and watching. They want to see which of the "Four Orders" His Highness Prince Su is interested in. As long as they do not want to monopolize them, even if they are snatched away by His Highness Prince Su, two county magistrates.
, these are all acceptable.
"It seems that I have to ask His Highness Prince Huan to go to His Highness Prince Su to test his tone first..."
After thinking for a moment, Luo Yao thought to himself.
Although following Zhao Hongli's wishes, Luo Yao did not want to repay his kindness, but relying on their friendship, there was no problem in asking King Huan Zhao Hongxuan to find out what his brother was saying.
