Two days later, Zhao Hongrun received a reply from his cousin Wei Gongziyu. After reading the entire article, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Because between the lines in the reply letter, Wei Gong Ziyu behaved very irritably, and fiercely criticized the behavior of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, Sun Mou, the Marquis of Huzhou, Feng Shu, the Marquis of Yuanling, and others, as if he wanted to rush to Daliang to report this matter.
When he was in front of Emperor Wei, Zhao Hongrun frowned frequently.
In fact, from the perspective of family status, it is not correct. It should be said that if we look at it objectively, Zhao Hongrun must be on the side of his cousin Wei Yu. After all, the behavior of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, Sun Mou, the Marquis of Huzhou, Feng Shu, the Marquis of Yuanling, and others, he also
Very disgusted.
But the problem is that for the sake of the reputation and interests of the Wei State, it is absolutely impossible for the Wei State to admit that "Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Nanliang, deliberately harmed the allies." Anyone who knows the inside story, including Zhao Hongrun, will be suspicious of this matter.
Keep silent about things.
After all, if this incident spreads, it will have a huge negative impact on Wei State. Who would dare to form an alliance with Wei State in the future?
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun's original idea was that if his cousin Wei Yu was willing to "go private", then he would come forward to help his cousin and help Wei Guo obtain some subsidies. However, it can be seen from Wei Yu's reply that this cousin
Brother does not accept "privacy" and must give an explanation from Wei Guo.
This makes it difficult for Zhao Hongrun to intervene in this matter. He can suppress Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Southern Liang, and support Zhao Hongjiang, King of Yan, in the temple, because for the entire Wei State, this is nothing more than a matter of left pocket and right pocket; but Wei Gongziyu wants Wei Guozhong
To punish Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, Zhao Hongrun could not intervene in this matter.
Punishing a distinguished minister of one's own country for the sake of another country? This is unjustifiable, right?
Although cousin Wei Yu is obviously closer in terms of family status, in the final analysis, this cousin is from Wei after all; and no matter how much Zhao Hongrun hates Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, he cannot deny that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, is a Wei person.
, and this person made great contributions to the state of Wei.
"Hey, it seems that this cousin is destined to be a proton for a while soon..."
Zhao Hongrun shook his head secretly and sighed.
At this point, he had no choice but to think that after the cousin came to Daliang as a hostage in the future, he would invite him to Prince Su's Mansion and persuade him, hoping that the latter would accept "private settlement."
Perhaps this is what Wei Gong Ziyu said, "the arrogance of a big country."
Shaking his head, Zhao Hongrun put aside the letter from his cousin Wei Yu and continued to copy the wedding invitation.
After two full days of copying, Zhao Hongrun was so tired that his arms were sore, but in contrast, the VIP invitations that required him to write the invitations in his own hand were also sent out one by one.
After waiting for the last invitation to be written, he stretched out his arms and took a long breath of relief: "Finally... it's finished."
Seeing his appearance, let alone the clan guards laughing, even Que'er's eyes showed a hint of smile.
After finishing the only task of writing invitations, Zhao Hongrun held a cup of tea and enjoyed Queer's service of rubbing his shoulders. He also took revenge on the clan guards for teasing him two days ago. While the clan guards were busy,
When he was outside, he deliberately put on a carefree posture, making the clan guards dumbfounded.
On the afternoon of May 23rd, King Zhao Hongjiang of Yan led his family, Princess Sun of Yan, two concubines, his three sons and one daughter to visit Zhao Hongrun.
At that time, Zhao Hongrun guessed that this brother Wang was probably going to leave Daliang and go to Shanyang.
Sure enough, when the brothers were in Zhao Hongrun's study, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang mentioned the matter and solemnly bid farewell to Zhao Hongrun.
Zhao Hongrun was also quite reluctant to let go of this upright and forthright brother Wang, and said, "Fourth brother, why don't you stay in Daliang for a while longer?"
King Yan Zhao Hongjiang shook his head and said: "I have been away from Shanyang for a long time, and I miss you a lot. The imperial court has agreed to allocate funds for me to rebuild the "Shanyang Army" and the "Nanyan Army"..." At this point, he paused
After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "Rebuild the Shanyang Army and the Nanyan Army as soon as possible, so that the soldiers and generals under King Nanliang can get out of Hanoi County as soon as possible!"
Zhao Hongrun shook his head dumbfounded, then looked at Yan King Zhao Hongjiang and said: "Fourth brother, I don't have much spare money in my hands recently, so I can't help you much..."
Logically speaking, Zhao Hongrun has a good relationship with the King of Yan, Zhao Hongjiang. Now that the latter is preparing to return to Shanyang to rebuild the Shanyang Army and the Nanyan Army, Zhao Hongrun has to show some courtesy and lend a sum of money to this brother of the Fourth King.
After all, the cost of rebuilding two armies from scratch can be imagined. Relying on the court's allocation alone was simply not enough. After all, because of the war, the finances of the court's household department were also extremely tight.
If he had to wait another two months, after Zhao Hongrun sold the shops in Bolangsha River Port, he could lend a sum of money to the brother in front of him.
But the question is, after two months, will Yan Wang Zhao Hongjiang, who controls the two "Weihan border cities" in Moyi and Qixian, still be short of money?
After hearing what Zhao Hongrun said, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang said quickly: "Hongrun, you are already busy as a brother."
To be honest, he came here just to say goodbye to his eighth brother, but he had no intention of borrowing money.
After all, everyone in the court knew that despite Prince Su Zhao Hongrun’s overwhelming power, His Highness not only had little spare money in his hands, but also owed a huge debt to the Ministry of Revenue. The success of Prince Su’s palace over the years was all thanks to “Little Madam” Yang
Tongue apricot manages the family business.
Perhaps seeing the embarrassment on Zhao Hongrun's face, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang deliberately said with a straight face: "Hongrun, if you act like this, I won't be able to stay here any longer..."
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun thought for a while, nodded and said: "In that case, I will give Fourth Brother a piece of writing as a gift for Fourth Brother to practice."
Hearing this, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he said yes repeatedly.
As far as he knows, the eighth brother in front of him is also good at calligraphy. Although he is not as good as the Rui Wang Zhao Hongzhao, who was "a word worth a thousand gold" in the past, in the market of Daliang, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun's calligraphy is also marketable and priceless. I don't know.
How many people want to collect the calligraphy of His Royal Highness Prince Su, but they have been searching for it to no avail.
This is no wonder. After all, considering the current status of Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, selling the calligraphy and paintings he wrote on the market would be too cheap and too embarrassing.
So when Zhao Hongrun was spreading the paper, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang was excitedly grinding it for his eighth brother.
I saw Zhao Hongrun pick up the pen and think about it for a moment, then write quickly on the paper without adding any details. Each stroke seems to be scrawled, but it is like iron painting and silver hook, as powerful as a startling dragon. Looking at the overall situation, it seems as if there is a faint sweeping force.
The strength of thousands of troops, calm and joyful.
"Now that the body is dead, it is buried in the sun of the mountain. The mountains are so majestic and the sky is so blue. There are trees in the mountains and the country is in mourning. The soul has returned to look at the rivers and mountains.
Now that the body is dead, it is buried in Dachuan. Life is vague, and death is also unclear. What is the joy and what is the pain? The soul has returned, and it has no desire to live in a foreign country.
The body is dead and buried, looking south. The wind is solemn and the water is turbulent. The sky is a hut and the earth is a bed. The soul has returned to look at the family and the country.
The body is gone and buried in all directions. The spring is green and the autumn is yellow and yellow. The war has ceased and the sword has been hidden. The soul has returned to protect its relatives forever."
"Note: The author is unknown. It is said to be General Li Siye of the Tang Dynasty. It was recommended by the book friend "Attack of Guazi" in the book review area."
While Zhao Hongrun was writing quickly, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang was whispering beside him. The more he read, the brighter his eyes became, as if there was a huge amount of pride in his chest that he could not express, which made him so excited that he couldn't control himself.
Finally, Zhao Hongrun wrote his name on the signature: Su Wang Zhao Run!
Seeing Zhao Hongrun throw away the brush in his hand after writing the signature, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang couldn't wait to push his eighth brother aside and watch the poem with an moved expression.
Because this was not only a gift given to him by Zhao Hongrun, but also a tribute to those brave warriors of the Shanyang Army and the Southern Yan Army who died in northern Xinjiang and Shanyang.
"Okay! Good! Good!" After reading it carefully many times, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang shouted "good" three times and decided to frame this painting and hang it in the main hall of his Prince Yan's Mansion in Shanyang, so that more people could see it.
The soldiers of Shanyang Army and Nanyan Army saw this calligraphy.
"Hongrun, thank you very much!"
Turning around to face Zhao Hongrun, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang solemnly thanked him with clasped fists.
Because in his mind, the value of this poem and this calligraphy to the Shanyang Army and the Nanyan Army is far greater than ten thousand gold!
Zhao Hongrun smiled and waved his hand and said, "Fourth brother, please don't dislike my bad writing."
"Is this still bad?" King Yan Zhao Hongjiang said with a smile: "Seeing this word, brother, I seem to feel the power of thousands of troops, rushing towards my face with a murderous aura. Tsk! It is indeed the "Sur" that defeated Han Chu.
"King"!" After saying that, he couldn't help but turn his eyes to the words on the desk again. He couldn't help but feel happy no matter how he looked at them.
Afterwards, the two brothers chatted for a while, and after making a promise that "when Hongrun gets married, my brother will definitely come to congratulate him", King Zhao Hongjiang of Yan happily embraced the painting and took his wife, children and two clan members with him.
Wei said goodbye and left.
During this period, he held the calligraphy from beginning to end, without using human hands, for fear of damaging it.
After all, this calligraphy was not only given to him, but also a priceless treasure given to the Shanyang Army and the Nanyan Army.
The next day, while the subjects of Daliang were still talking about the affairs of Song County, King Zhao Hongjiang of Yan took his wife, children and clan guards and left Daliang in a low-key manner and went to Shanyang in northern Xinjiang.
After learning the news, Zhao Hongrun, who was originally planning to send him off in person, couldn't help but be startled: He just left as soon as he said it, neatly and without any ink. This was really his fourth brother's style.
Two days later, on May 25, Chui Gong Hall officially announced its decision on the Song Dynasty.
Just as Zhao Hongrun had guessed, Song Yun, the rebel leader of the Song Dynasty who refused to be summoned by the imperial court a few days ago because of "ignorance", and his "Bei Bo Army" were officially recognized as "rebels" by Chui Gong Palace.
Song Yun's previous behavior of helping the Wei army in the war was deliberately misinterpreted as "wanting to take the opportunity to replace Nangong Yao."
Regarding this, Zhao Hongrun could only sigh secretly.
When he learned from Du You, the Minister of Rites, the real reason why Song Yun refused to be summoned by the imperial court that day, he respected Song Yun, a leader of the rebel army who was loyal to the Song Dynasty.
But respect, respect, some things in the world are so helpless.
For the benefit of Wei, no matter how much Zhao Hongrun respected Song Yun, he would not step in to stop the court's decision.
Because he is from Wei and the son of Wei State.
The first thing he had to consider was the overall interests of Wei.
