————The following text————
By July, the news about Chenggao's joint hunting finally came out. However, the news announced by the court was that Emperor Wei was going to hold hunting again, and concealed the real location of the hunting, and during the autumn hunting.
Prepare to contact and negotiate with Yinrong.
For example, Zhao Hongrun's imperial sister, Princess Yulong, and his brother Zhao Hongxuan, many people only thought that this was just a hunting entertainment like in previous years, and only a few people knew the real intention behind this autumn hunting.
Precisely because the news announced to the outside world was a royal hunt, many people responded with great enthusiasm.
For example, Zhao Hongrun's younger brother, Zhao Hongxuan, happily slipped out of the palace early in the morning and ran to Zhao Hongrun's Prince Su's Mansion to pull him up from the bed while he was still sleeping.
"Brother, how about we compete in this hunting?"
"What is the competition?" Zhao Hongrun, who had not yet woken up, looked confused.
It wasn't until Zhao Hongxuan explained it to Zhao Hongrun with great interest that Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized that his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan was actually on the list for this autumn hunting.
To be honest, this is quite unbelievable. After all, Zhao Hongrun's younger brother Zhao Hongxuan is a prince who has not yet left the government and established a palace. He is a "minor" who has not been allowed to own "family property". Logically speaking, he will not be allowed to participate in hunting.
That's right.
After all, it is autumn hunting. This is the season when wild beasts crazily gather food and fatten up for the winter. The appearance rate of wild beasts is the highest, and there is a certain danger. Therefore, underage princes like Zhao Hongxuan are generally not allowed to participate.
of.
For example, Zhao Hongrun last year, oh, no, at this time last year, Zhao Hongrun was leading the soldiers of the Junshui Camp to fight against the army of Xiong Tuo, Lord of Chuyang City. And the Wei State also canceled the hunting activities that year, so it should be pushed forward, such as
Zhao Hongrun when he was thirteen years old, Zhao Hongrun when he was twelve years old.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Hongrun has only seen hunting teams from a distance, but has never experienced them personally.
"What's the competition? Of course it's to see who can hunt more prey!"
Zhao Hongxuan pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly, but then he became happy again.`
Looking at his joyful expression, Zhao Hongrun really didn't want to hurt him: Even if his father allowed you to participate in the autumn hunting, he would probably not allow you to take your clan guards to hunt alone.
Sure enough, when the official hunting day came on July 5th, Zhao Hongxuan, who had been in high spirits all day long in the previous two days, sat on the dragon chariot of his father, Emperor Wei, with his head hanging down, looking at his distinguished officials with envy.
The brothers who were qualified to hunt alone with their respective clan guards included his brother Zhao Hongrun.
Wow, what a strong resentment...
During this period, Zhao Hongrun secretly glanced at his younger brother and felt that his younger brother was muttering something in a low voice. He looked like himself who had been excluded from the hunting list.
Because they are brothers, do they look alike?
Zhao Hongrun touched his chin, probably because of his change in mentality. He felt that his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, or the former him, was actually a little funny.
Hmm, quite childish.
The hunting team gathered in the western suburbs of Daliang City and then slowly moved towards Zhongmou.
It has to be said that this team is really huge, there are thousands of people in total.
Where did so many people come from?
Zhao Hongrun looked at his team in surprise.
After all, he used to think that the so-called Autumn Hunting would at best consist of his father, Emperor Donggong, King Yong and a few of his brothers Zhao Hongrun, plus a few important officials from the court, and that was it.
But it turns out that the size of this team is far beyond his imagination.
No. In addition to the familiar faces of his father, Prince Hongli of the East Palace, Hongyu of Yong, Hongjing of Xiang, Hongrun of Su, Hongyin, the seventh son of the emperor, and Hongxuan, the ninth son of the emperor, even his second uncle Zhao Hongrun, the eldest son of the clan,
Zongzheng Zhao Yuanyan also rode in the team with his three sons. Among his sons was his cousin Zhao Hongmin who had brought Zhao Hongrun to the Zongfu twice.
"His Royal Highness King Su.`"
A soft call made Zhao Hongrun turn around subconsciously. He was surprised to find that the people greeting him were Lin Yuyang, the Ling of Zhongshu and Yu Ziqi, the left minister of Zhongshu.
"Are you two going together?" Zhao Hongrun opened his eyes in surprise.
It's not that he looked down on these two Zhongshu ministers in the Chui Gong Palace. In fact, the rank of these two ministers was not inferior to that of the Six Ministers. Zhao Hongrun just wondered, Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi were both civil servants, how could they be in the hunting team?
Fortunately, Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi had already become familiar with His Royal Highness Prince Su, so they did not take his words seriously, and explained with a smile: "Your Majesty is kind enough to allow us to accompany the team to leave the city.
Relax."
"So that's it." Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized, thinking that no wonder these two people were dressed in casual clothes and did not bring any bows and crossbows for hunting. It turned out that they were just here to watch.
"By the way, why don't you see Mr. Feng?" Zhao Hongrun looked around curiously, because he found that Feng Yu, the right prime minister of Zhongshu, did not seem to be traveling with Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi.
After hearing this, Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi looked at each other and smiled strangely.
Immediately, Yu Ziqi chuckled and said: "I have to leave someone in Chui Gong Hall. Mr. Feng understands the righteousness and takes the initiative to stay..."
Ah, Chi Guoguo is bullying the newcomers...
The corners of Zhao Hongrun's eyes twitched slightly.
Perhaps noticing Zhao Hongrun's strange eyes, Lin Yuyang coughed and said: "This is tradition. Your Highness, Xiaguan and Ziqi all came here this way."
Indeed, bullying newcomers, no, should be to teach newcomers how to behave. This is a common thing in the official career and is understandable.
After all, the Wei State is very particular about seniority. For example, even if Yu Ziqi, the left prime minister of Zhongshu, is actually on the same level as Feng Yu, the right prime minister of Zhongshu, it is undeniable that Yu Ziqi is Feng Yu's predecessor. Feng Yu must give Yu Ziqi enough respect.
.
This custom is especially common in ministries and departments with strict official customs, such as the Ministry of Industry and the Metallurgical Bureau.
For example, Wang Fu, the bureau chief of the Metallurgical Bureau, had only eight years of experience in the Metallurgical Bureau. Therefore, it was not easy for him to scold Chen Dan, the official who had been with the Metallurgical Bureau for twenty years. After all, from a certain perspective
Generally speaking, Chen Dan is Wang Fu's predecessor.
After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them rode their horses and slowly followed the team forward.
During this period, Yu Ziqi asked curiously: "It seems that His Highness Prince Qing is not in the team?"
"Well." Zhao Hongrun nodded and added in a low voice: "My third uncle...the King of Nanliang is not here either."
Indeed, Zhao Hongrun has repeatedly confirmed this fact. His third uncle, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, and his fifth brother, King Qing Hongxin, were not among the hunting team that went out of the city this time.
If Zhao Hongrun guessed correctly, these two men should still be training the new army at Yushui Camp in the southeast of Daliang City.
Note: Regarding the bug in the number of the new army, I miscalculated in the previous chapters. I am really sorry. Here it is changed to: From the counties in the Wei Dynasty, 100 to 300 people will be transferred according to the size of the county to make up 50,000.
number.
Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi were both ministers of the Central Secretariat of Chui Gong Palace, so they naturally understood why Nan Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo and Qing King Zhao Hongxin were not in the hunting team this time, so they nodded with understanding.
"Speaking of which..."
During this period, Zhao Hongrun pointed to some people in the team and asked in a low voice: "Two adults, who are those people? I look at them very well."
Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi looked back for a few times, and then told Zhao Hongrun that those people in Daliang City were related to the royal family, the so-called royal relatives.
"So many people?" Zhao Hongrun was shocked when he heard this. After all, he didn't pay much attention to those people in the past, so it felt like those people jumped out of thin air, which made him feel very abrupt.
At this time, Yu Zi opened his face with a bit of sarcasm and added to Zhao Hongrun in a low voice: "Moreover, I came here just to gain some royal aura..."
How royal is this? What kind of statement is this?
Zhao Hongrun felt a little confused. It wasn't until Yu Ziqi pointed at Emperor Wei's dragon chariot intentionally or unintentionally that he suddenly realized: It turned out that those were speculators who hoped to get some gifts and benefits from Emperor Wei... No, they were aristocratic families.
The three of them chatted for a while. At this time, Zhao Hongrun's Sixth Prince Zhao Yuanli came up from the back of the team with his clan guards.
Seeing this, Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi knew each other well and left with an excuse.
Looking at the backgrounds of Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi, Zhao Yuanli teased with some surprise: "Hongrun, your connections are so great, even the Minister of Zhongshu in Chui Gong Palace..."
"It's just acquaintance." Zhao Hongrun explained with a smile.
To be honest, his friendship with Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi was just a friendship between gentlemen, and they did not involve any interests.
In his opinion, only such friendships can be called friends. And Zhao Hongrun did not have many such friends, and there were only a few of them, such as Meng Wei, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry.
That's the Secretary of State...
Zhao Yuanli looked at his nephew with a rather strange look. After all, as far as he knew, Donggong, King Yong, and King Xiang had spent a lot of effort to win over Zhongshu Ling Lin Yuyang and Zhongshu Zuo Cheng Yuziqi in Chui Gong Hall.
After all, these two are quite "useful" connections.
However, when he thought that his nephew, like himself, was not interested in the throne, Zhao Yuanli suddenly realized: It may be because of this that the two ministers, Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi, looked at him differently and were willing to go with him.
"Well, it's better for people to live a more relaxed life."
Zhao Yuanli smiled and nodded.
"Huh?" Zhao Hongrun glanced at the Sixth Uncle inexplicably.
"Haha, let's not talk about this for now. Let Uncle Six take a look at your team."
After saying that, Zhao Yuanli turned around and looked behind Zhao Hongrun, looking at Zongwei Shen Yu and others who were carrying crossbows and nodded. But when he saw Mi Jiang and Mi Rui sisters also in Zongwei's team,
His expression became a little subtle.
However, this was nothing. What made his expression change significantly was Princess Yulong, who was among the Zongwei and was chatting quietly with Mi Rui.
