Chapter 200: The winner who stabs the heart and the lungs (2)
"You...why are you in the palace?"
Standing in the Chui Gong Hall, only one step away from the outside of the hall, Emperor Wei looked at his son who had stepped into the hall first with a look of disbelief on his face in astonishment.
"Why can't the emperor be in the palace?" Zhao Hongrun blinked and said innocently: "The emperor came here specially to surprise the father... Well, it can be seen that the father is really happy, you
Look, I’m speechless.”
…
Emperor Wei opened his mouth wide, as if he was stunned.
After all, according to the regulations, this time the son in front of him who has made such a meritorious service should slowly return to Daliang together with the dredging army. And on Daliang's side, it should also be led by Emperor Wei, Prince Hongli of the East Palace, all the princes, and all the ministers of the court.
We all went out of the city to greet him. After all, this great victory in the battle between Wei and Chu was something worthy of national celebration. The ministers in the DPRK and China hoped to take this opportunity to boost the morale of the people.
Unexpectedly, as the biggest contributor to this battle, Zhao Hongrun abandoned the dredging army and sneaked back to Daliang. This was... simply treating the court's arrangements as if they were nothing.
"You..." Wei Tianzi pointed at his son in astonishment and asked in disbelief: "What are you doing sneaking back to Daliang?"
"Come and see how dumbfounded your father is. Well, even if your father is like this right now... I wish you could come back to Daliang as soon as possible!" Zhao Hongrun said with a heartless smile.
This bad guy...!!
Emperor Wei opened his mouth, and was so angry that he was speechless. After a long time, he calmed down and asked in a deep voice: "Didn't I order someone to inform Baili Ba and tell you to return to Daliang slowly?
"Then you... then why don't you listen to the court's arrangements and mine?"
When he said this, Emperor Wei was really angry.
You know, coming out of the city to greet the heroes of this battle was a top priority that he and the imperial court had been planning for at least half a month. Both the Emperor Wei and the officials in the imperial court hoped to take this opportunity to boost the morale of the people, but there was no such thing.
Thinking of it, Zhao Hongrun, as a party involved, regarded the hard preparations in Daliang as nothing, and returned to Daliang one step ahead of schedule on his own initiative. How will this drama, which has been prepared for half a month, be staged?
This scoundrel definitely did it on purpose!!
Emperor Wei glared at Zhao Hongrun with gritted teeth. After a while, he came closer to the son in front of him and lowered his voice and asked, "Did you do this on purpose?"
"Ah, I did it on purpose." Zhao Hongrun whispered back.
Just when Emperor Wei was about to have a fit after hearing these words, he saw Zhao Hongrun lowering his voice and saying to his father: "Didn't my father forget? Before the emperor left the palace, his father once said that he could only wait until the emperor was defeated.
Only the army of Chu State can be regarded as
The victory of the emperor. Now, the emperor has returned victorious and is the winner... The winner, how do you want to celebrate that is his freedom? This is the rule!" After that, Zhao Hongrun raised two fingers and added in a low voice.
: "Two wins and two losses!"
This bastard!!
Emperor Wei's shoulders trembled slightly in anger, and he remained gloomy without saying a word.
Unfortunately, Zhao Hongrun didn't look at his father's face at all. He said hello to the equally stunned eunuch Tong Xian, as well as Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi, two familiar ministers of Zhongshu, and turned around and walked out of Chui Gong Hall.
When he walked out of the palace, Zhao Hongrun turned around again, facing Emperor Wei and added: "By the way, father, according to the agreement between father and son when they talked with the man, from today on, Princess Yulong does not want to marry. You, please don’t force me anymore!”
…
Emperor Wei's expression could be seen to be a little distorted, and he gritted his teeth and burst out one word: "Okay!"
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun walked out of the Chui Gong Hall with a cheerful expression. When he reached the steps outside the Chui Gong Hall, he suddenly turned his head again and pretended to recall: "By the way, Father, look at this scene. Doesn't it look familiar..." After saying that, an exaggerated smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Ah ha ha ha ha."
Seeing his son who was laughing strangely disappear in front of his eyes, veins popped out on Emperor Wei's forehead.
How could he not know what his son was referring to? He remembered that when he played a trick on his son with the official Luo Wenzhong, he laughed so heartily. Obviously, this naughty boy The son came back specially to take revenge.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, then, let's take our leave first."
Zongwei Shen Yu and others looked at Emperor Wei with strange expressions, who seemed to be on the verge of an attack, shrank their heads and left quickly.
After that, they all ran away without waiting for Emperor Wei to nod.
As a result, in the entire Chui Gong Hall, only the ashen-faced Emperor Wei, the stunned eunuch Tong Xian, Zhongshu Minister Lin Yuyang, Yu Ziqi, and another newly appointed Zhongshu Youcheng Feng Yu were left.
"That...is His Highness Prince Su?" Feng Yu, who had just been appointed Zhongshu Youcheng, asked his two colleagues in a low voice.
Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and conveyed a message to this new colleague that made the latter a little nervous: As the Secretary of State, you will inevitably have to deal with His Highness Prince Su in the future.
On the other side, the eunuch Tong Xian was carefully patting Emperor Wei on the back, fearing that the current emperor would be angry with his highness.
"I should have thought of it... I should have thought of this scoundrel... Hey, hey, hey..." Wei Tianzi smiled sinisterly in a low voice. His sinister smile made everyone in the palace feel numb. .
Fortunately, Zhongshu Ling Lin Yuyang spread the topic in time: "Your Majesty, why did His Highness leave like this? Well, then we have been preparing for the army for more than half a month..."
"He has made it clear that he came back specifically to embarrass me. After he has played with me, he will naturally leave. What else is he staying for? As for the arrangements of the court and my arrangements, you have also heard about them. Will that scoundrel care? ?" Emperor Wei snorted coldly, full of resentment.
"Why don't you send someone to Ningxiang Palace?" The eunuch Tong Xian whispered: "Your Highness must have gone to Ningxiang Palace to pay his respects to Concubine Shen Shu. Concubine Shen Shu is well-educated and sensible. I believe that if His Majesty sends someone there, Concubine Shen Shu will definitely call... …”
"Forget it!" Emperor Wei raised his hand to interrupt Tong Xian's words, and said calmly: "The bad son has been away from the palace for half a year, so don't disturb their mother and son..."
"Yes." Tong Xian bowed his head respectfully, but he kept smiling bitterly in his heart. He knew very well: As a father, Your Majesty is definitely not willing to bow to his son.
As expected, Emperor Wei's subsequent words fully proved the resentment in his heart at this moment.
"Come, follow me out of the palace to welcome the victorious and triumphant people! ... Without that bad boy, wouldn't there still be Bailiba and the dredging army!"
Seeing Emperor Wei walking out of Chui Gong Hall with a gloomy face, everyone in the hall looked at each other and had no choice but to follow closely behind.
At the same time, as the eunuch Tong Xian expected, Zhao Hongrun indeed took Shen Yu and others directly to Concubine Shen Shu's Ningxiang Palace.
It happened that Zhao Hongrun's younger brother Zhao Hongxuan was also in Ningxiang Palace at this time. It is estimated that he was also waiting for the dredging army to return to Daliang, so that he could go to the outside of the city to meet his brother in time and pass the good news back to the palace. His mother-in-law Shen Shufei.
Ever since, mother and son were reunited, and brothers were reunited.
"Run'er, ask my mother to take a closer look at you."
It has to be said that Concubine Shen Shu was really excited when she saw her eldest son again after half a year. After all, although this eldest son was not born to her, she regarded her as her own.
"You have grown taller, but you have also lost weight..." Shen Shufei was seen caressing her eldest son's face, with a mother's heartache on her face. She even couldn't help but wonder whether her eldest son could not eat well or sleep well when he was in the army. Okay, so I look sallow and thin.
"No way, my child ate well and slept well when he was in the army, but he grew taller, so it looks like he just lost weight." Although Zhao Hongrun was not sure whether he had really grown taller, he could only Put it this way, otherwise, I am afraid that the mother-in-law in front of me might feel very distressed.
Fortunately, there was his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan beside him, who interrupted in time to divert Concubine Shen Shu's attention: "Brother, I heard that you captured eighteen cities of the Chu Kingdom this time? Did the Chu Kingdom accompany you with a large amount of money and materials?"
"Have you heard?" Zhao Hongrun was also a little happy when he mentioned this matter. Although it is not appropriate to say this, it is undeniable that he gained a lot from this battle. As long as it operates well, he will not need to go through that battle again in the future. It’s been a miserable and embarrassing life.
"Of course!" Zhao Hongxuan said excitedly: "I heard that the money and goods you collected from Chu State were transported along the Cai River to Xiangfu County, where they were piled up like several hills. "
"What a cut, it's too unpleasant to hear. It's the reward from the Chu State for letting me withdraw from the army, do you understand?" As he said that, Zhao Hongrun put his arm around his younger brother's shoulders and whispered: "I'll give you a share later." At this point. , Zhao Hongrun seemed to have thought of something, turned around and said to Concubine Shen Shu: "By the way, mother, I also specially selected some exquisite pearls, jade, lacquerware, and bronzeware, and sent someone back to Ningxiang Palace."
Although Concubine Shen Shu had never cared about external things, this filial piety from her son made her quite happy.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and asked in surprise: "By the way, Run'er, why did you suddenly return to the palace? Your father has been discussing with the ministers in the court these days, but he wants to organize people to go outside the city to greet you. The army returns in triumph..."
"This..." Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes, not daring to say that he had already gone to Chui Gong Hall to seek revenge, and said sarcastically: "Isn't this kid missing my mother?"
After all, they were mother and son for more than ten years. How could Concubine Shen Shu not guess what her eldest son was thinking? She shook her head helplessly and sighed.
She had a hunch that His Majesty would come to his Ningxiang Palace tonight to complain to her about her eldest son's misdeeds.
In this regard, Concubine Shen Shu was also a little helpless. She felt that the way in which father and son, Emperor Wei and Zhao Hongrun, communicated with each other was incomprehensible to ordinary people.
At the same time, Bailiba, the general of the dredging army, led the Wei soldiers of the dredging army under his command, and was very close to Daliang.
In accordance with the arrangement between the emperor and the court, the army, which has returned victoriously, will be congratulated by Emperor Wei and the officials at the east gate of Daliang. Afterwards, the army enters the city from the east gate and goes straight through the most prosperous street in the center of the city.
, under the welcome and congratulations of the people in the city, he then left the city through the northwest side gate and returned to the original camp where the Jun Navy Army was stationed.
There is no doubt that this is definitely a grand event in Daliang, enough to make the whole Daliang lively and lively.
However, in Zhao Hongrun's view, being welcomed into the city by tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 people was far less joyful than seeing the stunned embarrassment of his father, Emperor Wei. (To be continued. If you like this work
