What Zhao Hongrun planned to do was very simple, which was to weaken the winning factor of Zhao Yuan, King of Southern Liang, in the "Victory of Hanoi" and increase the importance of Zhao Hongjiang, King of Yan.
In fact, he knew the reason for the "Victory of Hanoi County" very well. It was the Southern Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo who was strategizing, so that Jiang Bi made sneak attacks on Taiyuan, Yanmen, and Daijun, and induced the Linhu, Xiongnu, Donghu and other foreign tribes to invade Korea.
To put it harshly, the so-called "Victory of Shanyang" and "Battle of Ningyi" actually made the same difference whether they happened or not. Even if these two victories did not happen, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, still grasped the victory.
But Zhao Hongrun was unhappy with the attitude of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, who ignored friendly forces.
This was the case when Zhao Hongrun was trapped in Shangdang County by Han general Bao Yuan and others. Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, could obviously put pressure on Tianmen Pass and help King Su's army, but he just didn't do that; and in this war
In the process, he could obviously inform King Yan Zhao Hongjiang of his real plan in advance and let the latter lead the Shanyang army and civilians to withdraw to the south bank of the river. However, in order not to make the Korean army suspicious, he kept King Yan Zhao Hongjiang in the dark.
This led to the tragic "Battle of Shanyang", for which Wei almost lost the loyal and brave warrior Zhao Hongjiang, King of Yan.
Zhao Hongrun had long been very dissatisfied with the selfish attitude of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, in order to achieve his goals by any means.
After the "irritable King Yu", Zhao Hongrun, who was evaluated as the "irritable King Su", is really good-tempered enough to allow these things again and again?
He was not worried that Qing Wang Hongxin or Nan Liang Wang Zhao Yuanzuo would tell the truth - or rather, he hoped that Qing Wang Hongxin would be angry and expose Nan Liang Wang Zhao Yuanzuo to send Jiang Bi to attack Taiyuan, Yanmen and Daijun.
, the secret that induced Lin Hu, Xiongnu, and Donghu to invade Korea.
Does King Hongxin of Keqing dare? Does King Zhao Yuanzuo of Nanliang dare?
If they, as the parties involved, dare to tell the truth, all he has to do is add fuel to the flames, and Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Southern Liang, will immediately become the target of resistance from the entire Central Plains - leading foreigners to invade the Central Plains? Is it possible to do such a crazy thing?!
Don't look at the fact that people in the Central Plains are accustomed to wars among the countries of Wei, Han, Qi, Chu, Lu, and Wei, because it is like meat rotten in a pot, fighting back and forth. Aren't they all countries affected by the culture of the Central Plains? Although it is possible
There are some differences in local customs, but the essence is still the same.
But what are the aliens? They are the uncivilized barbarians among the people of the Central Plains!
He is a person who disrespects etiquette and wears his hair in left-hand folds!
Generally speaking, it is the object of contempt, resistance and disgust throughout the Central Plains.
But Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, actually deliberately led foreigners to invade Korea. If this incident spread all over the world, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, would immediately become the target of public criticism and become the target of people all over the world pointing their fingers at the spine and scolding him - similar to a national sinner.
Although Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, won the battle this time, it could not offset the negative impact of becoming a national sinner. At that time, the entire Central Plains would use public opinion to force the Wei State to punish the former, at least hiding it, or at worst leaving it idle.
If Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang as the mastermind, is resisted by the people of the world, how can "accomplice" Jiang Bi escape this disaster?
Once the Nanliang kings Zhao Yuanzuo and Jiang Bi fell, Qing Wang Hongxin's strength in the military immediately collapsed, and the Qing Wang Party, which was now at its peak, collapsed as a result.
Just as Zhao Hongrun guessed, perhaps out of concern that King Qing Hongxin would say something irreparable in his anger, Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Nanliang, spoke decisively and said: "What His Highness King Su said is absolutely true, and Zuo just happened to meet him."
, I just got some meritorious deeds by luck."
While saying this, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, hinted with his eyes that Qing Wang Hongxin should not be provoked by Zhao Hongrun.
Seeing that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, was actually trying to help him out, King Qing Hongxin was slightly startled, and then he suddenly came to his senses.
To be fair, King Qing Hongxin was not stupid, but he was so angry that he did not realize Zhao Hongrun's insidious intentions. But after he woke up, he couldn't help but feel lingering fear, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Yes, due to some unwritten tacit understanding and rules, even if Zhao Hongrun and others knew clearly what method Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, used to force South Korea to withdraw, they would not tell it in public, but if it was Qing Wang Hongxin who was one of the parties involved, he took the initiative
If you break the news, you can't blame others.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun took advantage and smiled obediently: "Look, thanks to Zhao Wu, you keep putting gold on the face of King Nanliang. In fact, King Nanliang also knew it well...right?
King of Nanliang?" He turned to look at King of Nanliang.
"..." Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, smiled.
Despite his calm appearance at the moment, I believe he must be extremely angry inside.
As the greatest contributor to the battlefield in Hanoi, because of some ulterior secrets, he was not only described as "taking advantage" by Zhao Hongrun, but was also ridiculed by the latter. You can imagine how he felt at this moment.
"Hey! It's your own fault."
Seeing the pretended calm look of Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo, Yu King Zhao Yuandai shook his head secretly.
In his opinion, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, was not aboveboard in doing things, so he was caught by the nephew of Su Wang Zhao Hongrun. Not only was he full of anger and had no way to vent, but he also had to smile.
At this time, Qing Wang Hongxin seemed to have an idea and sneered: "Old man, if it is as you said, why did my father and the court rate the King of Nanliang as the "first-class meritorious service"? You mean my father
Are all the adults in the court confused?"
"This is really hard to say..."
Everyone in the hall glanced at Prince Qing Hongxin with some surprise. They had to admit that the latter's words were quite powerful.
Unexpectedly, King Su Zhao Hongrun showed no intention of being deterred, and said nonchalantly: "Father is also a descendant of the grandfather generation after all. It is normal to have a headache and a fever, and to be confused for a while... Mingjun is also a mortal, and he also has birth, old age, illness and death.
How can you stay awake all the time? Right, father?"
This sentence made more than 70% of the people in the hall take a breath of air-conditioning - how dare you say it?!
"Bad boy!"
Emperor Wei secretly gritted his teeth. Even he did not expect that this brat would dare to take the opportunity to tease him in full view of the public.
He could clearly see that when Zhao Hongrun said those words just now, he deliberately looked at him with a playful expression - this was definitely intentional!
But Emperor Wei couldn't have an attack yet. After all, his son praised him as a wise king. Logically speaking, he should be happy.
Although it is said that at this moment, Emperor Wei was extremely angry and was not happy or relieved at all.
In the end, Emperor Wei could only laugh "haha" twice, and while using this to expose the matter, he was thinking about how to teach this bad son a lesson.
How could I be teased by my son? Sooner or later, I will have to get my debt back!
At this time, Zhao Hongrun had turned his attention to the Ministry of Rites and continued: "As for the Ministry of Rites, the adults of the Ministry of Rites are far away in Daliang. How can we know exactly what happened on the frontline and battlefields? Not all of them have reviewed the battle reports to determine their merits. If they are
It’s not hard to understand why some people are deceived, isn’t it?”
Du You, the Minister of Rites, smiled helplessly, seemingly as if he was echoing Zhao Hongrun's words, but in fact he just didn't want to be involved.
King Su Zhao Hongrun and King Yan Zhao Hongjiang joined forces to suppress Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Southern Liang. How could he be involved in something that even a blind man could see?
As for displeasure or anger, Du You really didn't have such emotions - didn't you see that even His Majesty was taken the opportunity to ridicule? He, Du You, should feel honored to be mentioned together with Emperor Wei at this time.
Although Du You felt more helpless than laughing or crying.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun had turned to look at King Qing Hongxin. Seeing that the latter opened his mouth as if to speak again, he took the lead and said: "I believe that not everyone present at this time is aware of the great victory in Hanoi.
Specifically, since you said that the King of Nanliang was indispensable, you might as well say it and let everyone here comment. If I am wrong, I will offer you wine to apologize to the King of Nanliang!"
These words left Qing Wang Hongxin speechless. How could he dare to tell the strategy used by Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, to force the Korean army to retreat?
"..."
King Qing Hongxin was speechless and had nothing to say. After a long time, he took a deep breath and said: "Okay! As you said, I support brother Si Wang as the governor of Hanoi, but Qixian and Moyi are not
Hanoi County…”
It is true that Qi County and Moyi County were originally the territory of the Wei Kingdom and were later occupied by South Korea. They do not belong to Hanoi County.
But why did King Qing Hongxin acquiesce in surrendering to Hanoi, but still wanted to keep these two cities in his hands? Is it just to create trouble for Zhao Hongrun?
Of course not, the reason lies in the "Wei-Han border market".
The year before last, Zhao Hongrun sent troops to capture Handan, the royal capital of South Korea, forcing South Korea to negotiate peace and privately reach an agreement with Wei. At that time, Wei and South Korea opened border markets in order to exchange supplies.
Although South Korea later unilaterally tore up the agreement, now South Korea has sued for peace, so it stands to reason that the Wei-Han border market will also be restored. Although it is a bit embarrassing to be the loser, the nobles of South Korea will not stop the "Wei-Han border market"
” recovery, because it is very profitable.
For example, the Wei State does not allow nobles to mint coins privately, and those who violate the order will be severely punished. Therefore, "copper" is not a precious resource in the Wei State. Although the Ministry of Household Affairs spares no effort to collect copper from all over the country, this thing is huge.
Most of them are piled up in the warehouse of the Ministry of Household Affairs, waiting to mold; but in Korea, the King of Korea lost power, and it was common for domestic nobles to mint coins privately. Therefore, in Korea, "copper" is equal to wealth.
Therefore, the border market between Wei and South Korea is a win-win situation where Wei and South Korea each get what they need. As long as the two countries cease war, it will be restored - even if it is not restored on the surface, the private transactions will not end.
How could Qing Wang Hongxin be willing to merge Qixian and Moyi into Hanoi County and leave it to Yan Wang Zhao Hongjiang to take care of them when this matter was clearly understood?
After listening to Qing Wang Hongxin's words, Zhao Hongrun actually nodded and said: "That's true... Then let the anti-rebellion army be stationed in Qi County and Moyi. Who knows whether South Korea will tear up the agreement again?
"After that, he turned to look at Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Nanliang, and said with a smile: "King of Nanliang, why not let your two generals Pang Huan and Mengluo garrison Qi County and Moyi."
Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, glanced at Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, shook his head and said: "Sorry, my anti-rebellion army needs to be reorganized. Qixian and Moyi should be handed over to His Highness the King of Yan."
"Hey!"
Zhao Hongrun chuckled secretly.
He had to admit that the vision of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, was several times stronger than that of Hongxin, the king of Qing.
If Pang Huan and Meng Luo dared to stay in Qixian and Moyi, they would definitely be killed by Zhao Hongjiang, King of Yan, who served as the guard of Hanoi. Didn't you see that King Zhao Hongjiang of Yan looked at Zhao Yuanzuo, as if he wanted to devour each other?
"That's it..."
Zhao Hongrun looked back at Qing Wang Hongxin and made a helpless gesture like "There's nothing I can do about this". Angry, Qing Wang Hongxin gritted his teeth and glared at Zhao Hongrun for a long time, and finally sat back on the bench and drank angrily.
A few glasses of wine.
At this time, all the guests in the palace were speechless when they saw Qing Wang Hongxin being squeezed out by Zhao Hongrun. They saw that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, could only admit at first that "it happened to be the right time to win the battle", and then he had to go against his will.
Handing over "Qixian" and "Moyi" will definitely be restored to the treasures of the border cities of Wei and Han. They were all secretly surprised: Who said that King Su Zhao Run was not good at temple power? This is called unkind? He clearly kept it hidden!
"Young and energetic, I rashly added a few words and made everyone laugh."
Zhao Hongrun bowed his hands towards the guests from all directions in the hall and sat back in his seat.
Emperor Wei looked at the expressions of everyone in the palace. Emperor Wei glanced at the look of continued satisfaction on Zhao Hongrun's face because he had avenged Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
In the past, it was he, the father, who deliberately dug a deep hole and then found a way to push his son into it, euphemistically calling it grinding.
Fortunately this time, he just dug a shallow pit as an old man, and this kid walked into it by himself.
What's even better is that this kid didn't seem to notice it, and took the initiative to dig the hole deeper, until he couldn't climb out in one breath.
