Zhang Qigong's words made Yong Wang Hongyu fall into deep thought.
To be fair, Zhang Qigong was absolutely right. Even if King Su Zhao Run had no intention of competing for the throne, King Yong Hongyu was actually quite uneasy if he allowed this powerful brother to continue to stay in Daliang.
To be precise, this uneasiness did not happen overnight, but had been around for a long time. When Qing Wang Hongxin was still in Daliang, Yong Wang Hongyu had this concern.
It’s no wonder, after all, Su Wang Zhao Run’s influence in Daliang is too great, far more than Qing Wang Hongxin, but at the beginning, Yong Wang Hongyu had Qing Wang Hongxin as his “number one rival”, so he had no time or energy to care about these things.
.
But now, Qing Wang Hongxin has been forced to go to Song County by him, and the potential threat of "Su Wang Zhao Run" has suddenly become eye-catching.
Of course, this does not mean that Yongwang Hongyu intends to use the same method as Qingwang Hongxin to deal with Suwang Zhao Run.
Who is King Qing Hongxin?
In the eyes of Yongwang Hongyu, Qingwang Hongxin was only qualified to compete with him for the throne because of the support of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, and Wei Feng of the Tianshui Wei family.
But the eighth brother of Su Wang Zhao Run is different. This brother has the power and status he has today all because of his own ability and the achievements he has made over the years by leading his army to conquer the north and south.
Wei needs Su Wang Zhao Run!
Yong Wang Hongyu knew this very well.
He has never mentioned it to outsiders, but in fact, he also has his own ambition: to do better than their father and make Wei more powerful.
He hoped to personally push Wei to the position of "overlord of the Central Plains", so that when future generations of Wei people mentioned him as "King of Wei", they would all give a thumbs up and praise him: He is a wise king!
Yong Wang Hongyu even thought about annexing Han and Chu, but even he felt that these ambitious ambitions were a bit unrealistic, so he did not dare to mention them.
In order to make the Wei Kingdom that powerful, wars with other countries are unavoidable. Therefore, the eighth brother "Su Wang Zhao Run" has been on the list of Yong Wang Hongyu's team from the beginning - if he can get this
If his younger brother fights for him, won't the Wei State under his rule become more powerful than ever?
Even...unify the world?
At the thought of "unifying the world", Yong Wang Hongyu felt his mouth go dry and his heart was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
Without him, just because of this unprecedented martial arts, the countries in the Central Plains have not been able to achieve it for hundreds or even thousands of years. If under his governance, Wei State can reach that height, it is like saying that he has surpassed all the kings of the Central Plains countries.
.
Currently, in Wei State, there are three people who can help him achieve such great ambitions, namely Zhao Run, King of Su, Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Nanliang, and Zhao Yuanke, King of Yu.
These three are all commanders with the ability to "destroy a country". Even Sima An, Shao Hu, Pang Huan and other first-class famous generals in Wei are still inferior to these three.
Among the three, Yong Wang Hongyu was most optimistic about his eighth brother Su Wang Zhao Run.
He couldn't trust Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and he still doubted the motives of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, in supporting Qing Wang Hongxin; as for Zhao Yuan'er, the king of Yu, Yong Wang Hongyu was simply concerned about the physical condition of the uncle Wang. How dare he put his expectations aside?
How about leaving it to Uncle Wang who coughs and vomits blood from time to time?
Only the eighth brother Zhao Run is young and talented. I believe that with him in charge of the Wei State, the Wei State will never lose in foreign wars.
But at present, the eighth brother Zhao Run is more powerful than him. It is not that simple to recruit this king brother - to put it simply, he has not yet sat on the position of king of Wei, so how can he be qualified to recruit him?
younger brother?
Therefore, sitting in that position is what Yong Wang Hongyu must prioritize.
But the problem is that the eighth brother Zhao Run stayed in Daliang, which also had some impact on him.
"Damn meson owl..."
Yong Wang Hongyu couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
If in the rumor that "King Su wants to fight for the throne" a while ago, King Su Zhao Hongrun once again expressed his stance of "not wanting to fight for the throne", King Yong Hongyu would never be in such a dilemma.
But that damn Jie Ziu, who was loyal to him, actually persuaded Zhao Hongrun to keep silent about the rumor. Although Yong Wang Hongyu later destroyed Jie Ziu's conspiracy by "refuting the rumor on his behalf", in the final analysis,
After all, this method is more convincing than Zhao Hongrun himself coming forward to refute the rumors.
No, the sequelae of that incident are now emerging: I don’t know how many people in Daliang and even in Wei are looking forward to the fight between King Yong Yu and King Su Zhao Run.
Although Yong Wang Hongyu himself was sure that 90% of the eighth brother had never thought of competing with him for the position of King of Wei, the problem was that those people didn't know it and were still watching stupidly, obviously wanting to wait for Su.
When Wang Zhaorun came forward to fight for the throne, everyone rushed to join him.
Under such circumstances, how could Yongwang Hongyu further expand his influence by overthrowing Qingwang Hongxin?
Therefore, when Zhang Qigong proposed to let Su Wang Zhao Run move to Shangshui, Yong Wang Hongyu was a little moved. After all, if Zhao Hongrun also left Daliang, no one in Daliang would be able to compete with him. And those officials and dignitaries who were watching at this time
, the family, I believe, will gradually turn to his side.
But the problem is that the eighth brother lived well in Daliang and did not jump out to compete with him for the throne. At this time, he was allowed to move to Shangshui? What if he offended the eighth brother? Wouldn't it be self-defeating?
Thinking of this, Yongwang Hongyu frowned and said: "Let's put this matter aside for the time being and deal with the third child first... This guy will be a disaster if he stays in Daliang."
Zhang Qigong nodded when he heard this and said: "This is easy. Previously, King Yan Hongxuan enfeoffed Shanyang, and then King Huan Hongxuan enfeoffed Anyi. Although we, the Wei Dynasty, had previously abandoned the enfeoffment of princes, this generation has set a precedent.
All we need to do is find a suitable reason to banish King Xiang... By the way, we can use the same method to deal with King Qing in the future."
Hearing these words, Yong Wang Hongyu nodded secretly.
Oh, Qing Wang Hongxin still hopes to return to Daliang one day? Dreaming!
Not to mention that he could not heal the people's grievances in Song County in a short period of time. Even if he could do it, Yong Wang Hongyu could still use the pretense of a grant to grant Qing Wang Hongxin a title such as "Song County King" and force the latter to stay in Song County.
"Then...where is the right place?" Yong Wang Hongyu asked.
Zhang Qigong laughed when he heard this and said: "How about "Yangzhai (di)"? When King Su conquered Sanchuan last year, it was said that the Jie people of the Sanchuanling tribe had fled to Wancheng and were causing trouble at the border of Wei Dynasty. King Xiang could be ordered to take charge of the border.
...Or, "Wandi"?
He knew that Yong Wang Hongyu was somewhat resentful that Xiang Wang Hongjing betrayed him and took refuge with Qing Wang Hongxin. Naturally, he would not mention some wealthy towns like "Shangshui", "Anyi", "Shanyang" and so on.
"..."
After hearing Zhang Qigong's words, Yong Wang Hongyu raised his eyebrows.
The so-called "Yangzhai" is located to the west of "Yingshui County" in the Wei State. In terms of geographical location, it is not much better than the "Nanliang" where Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, was exiled. They are all located in "Sichuan, Ba, Wei, and Chu"
The border of Daliang is a remote and barren rural county, and is seriously infested with bandits. Although the population of the county is not small, the relatively prosperous Daliang is completely different.
As for "Wandi (county)", it is even more cruel, because it cannot be said to be the territory of Wei State at all. It is outside the Fenxing Fortress. The land that Ba State and Chu State fought and robbed is more chaotic than Nanliang and Yang.
Zhai went even further. If Xiang Wang Hongjing was sealed here, even his survival might be a problem.
"Wandi? Isn't this appropriate?" Cui Yong, brother-in-law of King Yong Hongyu, frowned and said, "For what reason did King Xiang grant the title to Wandi?"
Zhang Qigong laughed when he heard this and said, "How about asking him to plan an expedition to Pakistan?"
Yong Wang Hongyu and Cui Yong looked at each other, and their hearts moved slightly.
It has to be said that although the Wei State has struggled to survive in the cracks between Han and Chu over the years, and has been frequently attacked by the armies of Han and Chu, even so, what the Wei people hate most - refers to the real Wei in the early days of the founding of the country.
People - but still Ba people.
For example, the kings of the Wei Kingdom all dreamed of making Wei strong and then leading their troops to attack the Ba Kingdom to avenge their ancestors who were attacked by the Ba people on their way eastward.
However, after the Wei State took root in the Central Plains, there was always a serious problem with the two countries of Korea and Chu, so that all the kings of the Wei State failed to fulfill the last wish of their ancestors.
But now, the Wei State has become so powerful that Han and Chu do not dare to use their troops wantonly. If they propose an expedition to Ba at this time, I believe they will definitely get the support of the Zongfu and a large number of Ji Zhao's descendants - regardless of whether these people support this
Is the purpose of this war pure?
Cui Yong was born into the Cui family of Suizao, who was a descendant of the Liang Kingdom more than a hundred years ago. Therefore, he could not understand the hatred the original Wei people had for the Ba people, but Yongwang Hongyu understood this proposal.
The feasibility is very high.
But, isn't this a bit too harsh?
The King of Xiang, Hongjing, is not the King of Su, Zhao Run, so he might die in Wandi.
After thinking about it, Yongwang Hongyu said thoughtfully: "Let's go to Yangzhai."
"Yangzhai" is now sandwiched between Sanchuan and Fenxing Fortress. Although banditry is still inevitable in the surrounding area, a large-scale war will not break out - because once a large-scale war breaks out, there will be Sanchuan County and Fenxing Fortress.
, Shangshui's army went to resist, but it was not the turn of King Xiang Hongjing to go into battle in person.
After that, Yongwang Hongyu, Zhang Qigong and others discussed specific matters, but they did not plan to take action immediately.
Firstly, they also wanted to test the attitudes of the eldest prince Zhao Hongli and Prince Su Zhao Hongrun on this matter; secondly, they had just kicked away King Qing Hongxin a few days ago, and if they immediately took action against Prince Xiang Hongjing, this would give people a sense of
The feeling of "impatient".
Yong Wang Hongyu could not care about other people's attitudes, but he had to consider his father's attitude.
After all, two brothers were kicked away at once, which will inevitably irritate their father: What? Are you eager to take my seat? Are you planning to kick me out next?
Therefore, Yong Wang Hongyu and Zhang Qigong discussed and planned to wait for Su Wang Zhao Hongrun to get married, use this happy event to dilute the fact that "Qing Wang was forced to leave Daliang", and then try to seal Xiang Wang Hongjing to Yangzhai and let this guy get out.
A few days later, Xiang Wang Hongjing vaguely learned about this incident, which made him feel on pins and needles.
There is not much time left for him. If he can't think of a way to deal with it in September or October before Zhao Hongrun gets married, then he will have no choice but to roll back to Yangdi in despair, and there will be no chance of returning in the future.
