"Your Majesty, Zhao Yuanzuo, is here to welcome you."
Arriving in front of the jade chariot of Emperor Wei, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, bowed deeply and paid homage.
The horseman driving the carriage for Emperor Wei glanced at Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Nanliang, and then raised the curtain of the jade chariot.
This person is not an ordinary groom, he is Li Zheng, the president of the Three Guards Army, and the former Zongwei Chief of Wei Emperor Zhao Yuansi. At the same time, he is also the governor-general and security commander of this imperial hunt. During the imperial hunt, all matters, big and small, are under the control of
This uncrowned general governs.
"The king of Nanliang is in peace."
The chariot tent was raised, and the figure of Emperor Wei appeared in the jade chariot. He smiled and praised Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang: "The king of Southern Liang went to northern Xinjiang this time for his hard work and hard work. I will definitely reward you after I return to Daliang after the summer expedition."
.And before that, I invite the King of Nanliang to hunt with me. I wonder if the King of Nanliang is willing?"
"As you wish." Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, lowered his head and seemed to accept Emperor Wei's invitation respectfully.
Emperor Wei nodded with satisfaction, and then Li Zheng, who was responsible for driving the jade chariot, lowered the curtain and drove the jade chariot slowly to Zhongyang Palace.
From the beginning to the end, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, stood on the side of the road, quietly watching the jade chariot drive away.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel something. He turned his head and took a look, just in time to see the two brothers Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan, as well as several carriages belonging to their group.
"Ha." Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, smiled slightly at the two brothers Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan, with a somewhat inexplicable meaning in their smiles.
"This guy..." Zhao Hongxuan's expression became even more gloomy, and he clenched his fists involuntarily.
Zhao Hongxuan was extremely disgusted with Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Nanliang, who once refused to save his brother Zhao Hongrun. In addition, the two sides had some friction with each other at Tianmen Pass, which led to Zhao Hongxuan's disgust for Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Nanliang.
The reputation of King Yong is higher than that of King Yong.
After all, in the eyes of Zhao Hongxuan, although Yong Wang Hongyu was sinister, he did not do anything detrimental to his brother Zhao Hongrun, but Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, was really unwilling to save his brother Zhao Hongrun until death.
"Hey." Noticing his younger brother's behavior, Zhao Hongrun patted his younger brother's arm with his backhand to signal him to pay attention to the situation.
You must know that at this moment, you are surrounded by celebrities and nobles from Daliang and other places. If your brother Zhao Hongxuan makes any unwise move, it will inevitably be true.
After all, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, is also the third uncle of the two brothers and the elder. Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied he is in his heart, he still has to cover it up at least in public.
"Hmph!" After being reminded by his brother, Zhao Hongxuan reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart, but he still couldn't help but snorted.
Seeing Zhao Hongxuan's appearance, Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo didn't take it seriously, but laughed even harder.
"Have fun."
When King Huan Zhao Hongxuan passed by on his horse, King Zhao Yuanzuo of Nanliang said with a slight smile like an elder admonishing a junior.
It was clearly visible that King Huan Zhao Hongxuan looked back at Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Nanliang, and his handsome face seemed a little distorted with anger.
Because he instinctively felt that there was an inexplicable malice in the seemingly plain words of Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Nanliang.
Zhao Hongrun, on the other hand, frowned and glanced at Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, for a few times while riding his horse, and secretly muttered in his heart: "Have fun"... What does this mean?
For some reason, Zhao Hongrun felt that the words of Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Southern Liang, seemed to have some profound meaning.
But when he was about to think about it carefully, his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan's urging came from ahead, so he didn't care to think about it, shook the reins and rushed up.
Looking at the leaving figures of Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan brothers, the smile on the face of Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo slowly faded away. At this time, his eyes glanced at the long dragon-like royal hunting team. When he saw Yi
When Wang Zhao Yuanli appeared, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "Have fun... This royal hunt is very interesting."
Perhaps feeling the look in the eyes of Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo, Yiwang Zhao Yuanli, who was chatting with Lord Yao Zhu Sheng, turned his head and glanced at Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo.
As soon as their eyes came into contact, they quickly drifted apart.
At the same time, the two brothers Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan were following Huang Shou's large team and had seen the outline of the "Zhongyang Palace" from a distance.
The emperor's jade chariot, which was at the head of the imperial hunting team, had already arrived outside the city wall of Zhongyang Palace.
On the jade chariot, Emperor Wei lifted up the curtains, raised his head and glanced at the outer wall of Yangyang Palace, and then said lightly: "I don't like this place."
At this time, there were two concubines sitting on the jade chariot. They were not the queen or the Shi family. They were living in peace in the palace, but no one dared to provoke their two concubines - Concubine Shen Shu and Concubine Wu Gui.
"Your Majesty?" Concubine Wu Gui asked suspiciously in a low voice, but Concubine Shen Shu gently waved her hand to dissuade her.
Concubine Shen Shu knew her man very well. Whenever the man fell into deep thought and murmured some incomprehensible words, they just had to listen and forget about it and never mention it in the future.
"Do you know?" Emperor Wei glanced at Concubine Shen Shu and Concubine Wu Gui, and said in a mocking tone: "There was once a man who wanted to train an army here that was no less powerful than Wei Wujun, and even trained it himself, but the result was that
What? After only three months, he gave up... His stupid idea cost the court
He spent a huge amount of money to build this fortress-like military camp, and in the end, he converted this fortress-like military camp into a hunting palace, and took the so-called "Yangwu Guards" to roam the hunting grounds and entertain himself...hehehehe
, I don’t like this place, but every time I come here, I feel very happy... Do you know why, my two beloved concubines?"
Since Concubine Shen Shu had already reminded her, Wu Guibi did not interrupt rashly this time, but just listened quietly.
Sure enough, Emperor Wei didn't wait for them to answer, and started mumbling to himself.
I am afraid that Concubine Shen Shu and Concubine Wu Gui never imagined that "that person" mentioned by the Emperor of Wei was his father, Zhao Kang, the previous king of Wei.
Yes, this "Zhongyang Palace" located more than 30 miles northeast of Zhongyang County was ordered by Zhao Hongrun's grandfather, Zhao Yuancai's father, and the previous king of Wei, Zhao Kang, after the "Battle of Wei Han Shangdang"
built.
In the "Battle of Wei Han Shangdang", the Wei state was defeated by the Korean cavalry, and the Wei people's pride "Wei Wujun" was completely wiped out. This was also an extremely heavy blow to the ancestor Wei King Zhao Kang. After all, it is said that it was
Because of Zhao Kang's blind arrogance, he believed that Wei Wujun was invincible and rashly attacked South Korea's new army.
The battle between the elite force "cavalry" led to the tragedy that saddened the whole country of Wei - Wei Wujun, the most powerful Wei army at that time, drove thousands of chariots and commanded tens of thousands of brave men, and fought with South Korea
Tens of thousands of cavalry fought against each other, but were eventually trampled to pieces by Korean cavalry and the entire army was annihilated.
Therefore, Zhao Kang ignored the dissuasion of hundreds of officials, spent money to build "Yangwucheng", and even wore it himself, hoping to train another army here, resurrect Wei Wujun, and recover from South Korea "the disastrous defeat of the Shangdang Battle between Wei and Han"
of shame.
Unfortunately, at that time, the Wei Wujun gathered the most outstanding men of the Wei State. At that time, all the sons of the Wu family in the country were determined to defect to the Wei Wujun. As a result, after the Wei Wujun was completely annihilated, the military talents of the Wei State suffered a heavy blow.
Although Zhao Kang promoted some generals to help train the new army "Yangwu Army", in the end, the training results did not satisfy Zhao Kang.
As a result, Zhao Kang's original enthusiasm was extinguished and he returned to Daliang.
A few years later, "Yangwu City" was rebuilt into a hunting palace, called "Zhongyang Palace" or "Zhongyang Hunting Palace". Zhao Kang once placed high hopes on the "Yangwu Army", hoping to rival Wei Wujun's "Yangwu Army".
He was reduced to guarding and managing the Zhongyang hunting grounds.
Every time I come here, every time I think about this, Emperor Wei Zhao Yuansi can't help but want to laugh.
The only regret is that the person he wanted to laugh at is no longer alive.
"snort!"
After snorting coldly, Emperor Wei ordered the President of the Three Guards Army, who was acting as a groom, to lead Li Zheng: "Enter the city!"
"yes!"
Li Zheng responded and drove the jade chariot slowly into Yangwu City, or in other words, Zhongyang Palace.
It has to be said that the reason why this hunting palace that has existed for decades can still remain in its original state is that Zhao Yuanci has to allocate a large amount of money from the private treasury under the supervision of the chamberlain every year for repairs, but Zhao Yuanci has never regretted it.
Because every time he came here, he seemed to be able to hear some people's vicious curses in his ears. It was these vicious curses that inspired him and encouraged him to handle government affairs in Chui Gong Hall conscientiously for twenty years.
I remember Zhao Hongrun once said that he would go crazy if he stayed in the narrow room of Chui Gong Hall day after day, reviewing memorials that he could never finish in a lifetime. In fact, Emperor Wei Zhao Yuanxi also felt that on several occasions
Bored.
But every time he thought of those vicious curses, Zhao Yuanxi's heart was filled with motivation again.
Compared with the complicated mood of Emperor Wei Zhao Yuancai when he came to this palace, brothers Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan were mostly excited.
The most exciting one among them is Shi Zhao Hongrun.
Because in the past few years, except for a few years such as "Chu Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo led his army to invade", the Emperor of Wei had organized imperial hunts in the other years. Unfortunately, Zhao Hongrun had no chance to participate every time, or he was leading the hunt.
They were fighting in the army, or dealing with the post-war finishing work abroad, so that every time they returned to Daliang, they could only look at the participants with envy and hatred.
The only hunting memory comparable to the Emperor's Hunting was the "Chenggao Combined Hunting" that year. As a result, that combined hunting was killed by a Jiejiao tribe leader named "Bitatu" and a Korean horse thief named "Huan Hu".
Mixed up.
"This time, I want to have a good time."
Looking at the towering palaces and palaces in Yangwu City, Zhao Hongrun secretly geared up.
At the same time, in the Dali Temple Prison in Daliang City, Tong Xin, the right commander of the Gongwei Division, came to the prison with several imperial guards and asked the jailer: "Where is Xi Jiang, the former left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, being imprisoned?"
Where?"
In the prison not far away, Sun Laogulu rolled over from the thatched bed and climbed up. He stood by the cell door and carefully looked at Tong Xin, the right commander of the Arch Guard Division, and his party.
