That exclamation was caused by Zhao Hongrun accidentally exclaiming.
Because he never expected that his third uncle, Zhao Yuanzuo, would drown his newborn son in the lake.
I remember that a moment ago, Zhao Hongrun was secretly amused that the third uncle would say something like "despite my being very careful, my wife is unfortunately pregnant". He thought it was a humorous comment, but now after hearing that the third uncle mentioned his biological son After he drowned in a lake on the day he was born, he stopped laughing.
As the saying goes, even if a tiger is poisoned, it will not eat its seeds. It is really hard for Zhao Hongrun to imagine how cruel his third uncle Zhao Yuanzuo was, and how cruel he would be to drown his newborn son in the lake.
But having said that, Zhao Hongrun can guess a little bit about the reason why he did this.
However, Zhao Hongrun could no longer think about this matter in detail, because his subconscious exclamation had exposed his position, so that both Emperor Wei and Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Nanliang, turned their heads when they heard the sound.
The wind is blowing!
Zhao Hongrun quickly retreated.
However, Zhao Hongrun, Zongwei Shen Yu, and Gao Kuo, who fled the "crime scene" in a panic, did not notice that after they escaped, there was an armored middleman behind a tree behind them. The young man was looking at their backs and shook his head speechlessly.
This middle-aged man with a resolute face was none other than Li Zheng, the chief of the imperial clan's imperial guard when he was a prince and now the president of the Third Guard Army.
At the same time, outside the forest, Emperor Wei and King Nanliang still looked at the figures who fled hastily in the garden with suspicious faces.
Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, was very surprised by this. He could not imagine who had the courage to peek and eavesdrop on his meeting with the current Emperor of Wei.
In comparison, Emperor Wei's face showed a bit of helplessness. Obviously, he had already guessed who the daring guy was: looking at the huge Wei Dynasty, except for his son Zhao Hongrun, no one had such courage!
At this time, Li Zheng came out of the garden, hugged his fists towards Emperor Wei, and said without any concealment: "Your Majesty, these are His Royal Highness Prince Su, Shen Yu, and Gao Kuo, the two clan guards."
That bastard...
Wei Tianzi felt a headache and rubbed his brow bone. He asked doubtfully: "Did you see it clearly?"
Li Zheng smiled and said: "The general has been standing behind the three of His Royal Highness Prince Su for a long time, but they didn't notice it."
When Emperor Wei heard this, he was very happy and said angrily: "Why didn't you just tell me?"
Li Zheng glanced at Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, raised his hands and said: "As far as the general knows, King Su and Prince Liu went out of the city to greet the king of Nanliang. I think His Highness King Su had already heard about it from Prince Liu, so the general said No intervention."
…
Emperor Wei shook his head with a tired look on his face.
Come to think of it, his son Zhao Hongrun was enough to give him a headache in the past. Now, coupled with Emperor Wei's cynical brother Zhao Yuanli, the latter is a pure hedonist who is greedy for pleasure. The former takes the latter as an example and sets goals when he is young. What good things will happen if these two people, who are preparing to become a dandy prince, meet together?
To be fair, Emperor Wei really didn't want his son Zhao Hongrun to stay with Zhao Yuanli, so as not to learn bad things. But unfortunately, Zhao Hongrun's relationship with Zhao Yuanli was even deeper than his relationship with his father. It's not that Emperor Wei forbids Zhao Hongrun from marrying Zhao Yuanli. If you contact Zhao Yuanli, this kid will obey you.
"Forget it, forget it." Emperor Wei waved his hand and said casually: "Next time if something like this happens again, I'll kick that bastard's ass hard... He's getting more and more wanton!"
"Yes!" Li Zheng smiled and nodded, but he didn't take it seriously at all. After all, he could hear it. Emperor Wei just complained casually.
From the side, Nanliang Zhao Yuanzuo listened quietly, feeling a little surprised and surprised in his heart.
The once gloomy Fourth Prince's younger brother actually manipulated his son so much?
King Su...
Zhao Yuanzuo couldn't help but think of the nephew he had met at Shiliting outside Daliang City not long ago. Prince Su Zhao Hongrun.
It is no exaggeration to say that apart from the fact that this son is the son of the person in front of him, Zhao Yuanzuo has a good impression of Zhao Hongrun.
After all, Zhao Yuanzuo once asked Zhao Hongrun in a subtle way, do you know who I am?
His original intention was to ask Zhao Hongrun whether he knew that Zhao Yuanzuo was his father's rival for the throne and a criminal who should be despised.
But Zhao Hongrun answered him respectfully: You are the third uncle.
Implicitly, Zhao Hongrun was answering him in a subtle way: I know the grudges between you and my father, but you are still my third uncle.
Because of this, Zhao Yuanzuo praised Zhao Hongrun for being a respectful and polite young man, which made Zhao Yuanli, Shen Yu, Mu Qing, Gao Kuo and others who knew Zhao Hongrun's character snicker in their hearts.
However, it seems that the respectful young man is not as respectful and polite as Zhao Yuanzuo guessed.
"..." Zhao Yuanzuo's expression was a little strange.
But it has to be said that after being interrupted by Zhao Hongrun, the heavy atmosphere just now disappeared without a trace, which made Emperor Wei and Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Nanliang, change the topic to the Longxi incident.
"The situation in Longxi... is not optimistic. Therefore, I hope that Brother Three Princes will train a new army of 50,000 people before the end of the year and rush to Longxi..."
"Brother Chen, I obey." Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, clasped his fists calmly. Then he frowned and said, "However, with an army of 50,000 people, Yin Rong may not be willing to let it go."
"I have an opinion on this matter... I have sent people to contact the Yin Rong in the Sanchuan area, and invite the Yin Rong clan leader in the name of Qiu Shou to discuss it together in Chenggao. If the negotiation can be successful, it will be good.
If the negotiation fails..." Emperor Wei did not say any more.
"Hmm." Zhao Yuanzuo nodded and did not ask too much. After all, his mission was only to train an army to support Longxi. As for how to negotiate with Yinrong, I believe Emperor Wei had his own plan.
After Emperor Wei finished describing the current situation in Longxi, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, left. After all, it was already June, and there were only six months left before the end of the year. Moreover, these six months also included the selection of members of the new army. After careful calculation,
There is not much time to train soldiers, so every time must be seized.
After Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Nanliang, left, the smile on Emperor Wei's face slowly faded away.
He asked Li Zheng, the former Zong Wei Chief: "Li Zheng, what do you think?"
"General... I can't say." Looking at the direction in which Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, left, Li Zheng frowned and said hesitantly: "Prince Jing, you have really changed a lot. Maybe it is as he said, he will do it for
His wife and daughter are willing to endure hardships... The general hopes that this is the case. But if not... then your Majesty is raising a tiger for trouble."
It can be seen that Li Zheng was a little worried about gains and losses, but in fact, he was not the only one who was hesitant, Emperor Wei also had some plans.
Seventeen years is enough time to make a person become a stranger.
In the eyes of Emperor Wei, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang seventeen years later, and Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Jing seventeen years ago, were like two completely different people, so that he could not find any familiarity at all.
After all, as Zhao Yuanzuo said, he had lived in the most difficult frontier wasteland of the Wei Dynasty for seventeen years, and the persistence in his heart had long been worn away, so that now he turned to his former rival simply because he wanted to give his wife and daughter a share of glory and wealth.
Trying to make ends meet?
In other words, seventeen years of hardships not only did not exhaust the will of this Third Prince Brother, but also tempered him and transformed him into a terrifying person far beyond the former King Jing Zhao Yuanzuo.
This feeling of worrying about gains and losses made Emperor Wei particularly uneasy.
After all, as Li Zheng said, the only bad thing about this is raising tigers.
It would be great if Zhao Yuanzuo had realized the truth and had to compromise simply to provide his wife and daughter with superior living conditions; but if the third brother just buried his hatred deep in his heart and tried to hide his glory and make a comeback, then
, Emperor Wei asked him to form an army of 50,000 people for the Western Expedition. Supporting the Wei family of Ji in Longxi, it is very likely that the three princes will train another army along the river.
Nowadays, unlike in the past, there is no Yu Shui army led by Yu Wang Zhao Yuanke, who can stop Nan Liang Wang Zhao Yuanzuo and his army.
Perhaps seeing the concerns in Emperor Wei's heart, Li Zheng hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, General Rong Mo said something that shouldn't be said. In fact, there is no need for Your Majesty to recall Prince Jing to march west to Longxi. Why not take this opportunity to train Prince Su?"
Where is Your Highness?"
Emperor Wei shook his head, frowned and said: "Hongrun is good at planning, but not smooth enough in his actions... The Ji Wei family in Longxi. I can guess their attitude towards my Ji Zhao family after just a little thought...
If Hongrun is sent there, if the other party doesn't listen to a few words, my son will definitely do something irreversible. It's not like you don't know about Hongrun coercing Qu Cheng and others to surrender."
"This shows that King Su is a king." Li Zheng lowered his voice and complimented.
Emperor Wei was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed and said: "King? He is far away!" After saying that, he paused for a moment and continued: "In addition, there is another reason why Hongrun must be in charge of Daliang...Yezao Bureau
It's not easy to get better, I don't hope
Return to the original shape. Furthermore, the Yanling Army and Shangshui Army in the south, except for me, only obey Hongrun's dispatch, which is not tolerated by the Ministry of War. If I send Hongrun to Longxi, the Ministry of War will inevitably attack the Yanling Army and Shangshui Army.
If the military takes action, this will inevitably lead to turmoil..."
Having said this, Emperor Wei smiled slightly and said: "The Ministry of War is very afraid of Hongrun. With Hongrun here, I feel much more relaxed."
Are you using His Highness King Su as a shield?
Li Zheng was secretly amused and said in a low voice: "But the biggest reason is that His Majesty is reluctant to part with His Royal Highness Prince Su, right?"
After hearing this, Emperor Wei showed a hint of loneliness on his face, and laughed at himself: "One of my two favorite sons is already far away in Qi, and the other one I still want to keep by my side..."
When Li Zheng heard this, he understood in his heart. After thinking about it, he whispered: "Then it would be better... to send another prince to serve as the supervisor."
Emperor Wei touched his chin after hearing this and guessed: "Hongyu and Hongjing may not be willing to leave Daliang at this time. Hongjiang is in Shanyang County... Do you mean Hongxin?"
"Exactly!" Li Zheng nodded and said seriously: "His Royal Highness King Qing Hongxin!...His Royal Highness Hongxin serves in the Ministry of War. His Majesty asked His Highness Hongxin to serve as military supervisor and accompany King Jing to Longxi. This is not unexpected. Moreover,
I believe that His Highness Hongxin will be happy to see this."
"Well..." Emperor Wei looked thoughtful. (To be continued.)
