Zhao Hongrun looked at the four people in the seats on the west side, his eyes gradually becoming colder.
At the same time, the third uncle was introducing these four people: "Chengling Wang Wenshen, Jiyang Wang Wenzhuo, Zhongyang Wang Wenxuan, Yuanyang Wang Wenkai... Hongrun, they are all your clan uncles, and you should also pay tribute to them.
See you as a gift."
Zhao Hongrun ignored the words of this third uncle, but looked at these four clan uncles intently, especially Yuanyang King Zhao Wenkai.
Why are you only interested in Yuanyang King Zhao Wenkai?
The reason is very simple, because this son's son, Zhao Chengxiu, the eldest son of Prince Yuanyang, once sold the land in Bolangsha to Zhao Hongrun for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and he was happy as if he thought he had taken advantage of it.
In addition, he was actually willing to resolve the conflict with him, Zhao Hongrun, and support each other in the future. It took Zhao Hongrun's life to hold back his laughter.
Although they are distant cousins, Zhao Hongrun still feels that Zhao Chengxiu is really a fool. Calling him a dude from the royal family is simply an insult to the word dude. After all, Zhao Hongrun's sixth uncle, Zhao Yuanli, is also a dude and is a descendant of the current royal family.
The biggest dude in the world.
But in Zhao Hongrun's heart, his Uncle Liu Wang was definitely a secretive person, and Zhao Hongrun admired his talent for discerning opportunities.
Zhao Chengxiu? He’s not even worthy of carrying shoes for Uncle Liu Wang!
Because of this, Zhao Hongrun was very curious about what kind of person Zhao Wenkai, the Yuanyang King, could actually raise that idiot Zhao Chengxiu.
Looking at the direct lineage of the royal family, are any of Zhao Hongrun's brothers a loser? Even if Hongli, the crown prince of Caedong Palace, is rated as more virtuous than Caedong Palace, he is far from comparable to Zhao Chengxiu.
And the rest, like Yong Wang Hongyu, Xiang Wang Hongjing, Yan Wang Hongjiang, Qing Wang Hongxin, Rui Wang Hongzhao, which one is not an outstanding talent? Even his cousin Zhao Hongmin, in Zhao Hongrun's opinion, is a rare hero with both political integrity and talent.
Compared with the many talents on the Zong family side, the branch family actually has Zhao Chengxiu, the crown prince of Yuanyang Prince, who is greedy and greedy for money. He only knows how to bully others but has no ability. He is simply going to disgrace the entire Ji Zhao family.
's face.
Sure enough, it has to do with the environment you live in and the education you receive...
Zhao Hongrun thought secretly.
It's no wonder, after all, the descendants of the royal family are generally clean and self-sufficient, especially the sons of Emperor Wei. The competition is so fierce. In order to compete for that position, no one is willing to lag behind others in terms of virtue and talent.
Furthermore, the closed and strict education of the Palace School allowed the children of the royal family to receive correct teachings, whether actively or passively. Talent and learning were secondary. What the Palace School really taught was to let the princes understand how to become a qualified leader.
This is the study of emperors.
How do the children of the royal family like Zhao Chengxiu, the crown prince of Yuanyang, feel this pressure? They are born with no worries about food and clothing, but they are not destined to be kings. Not surprisingly, they will live a life of glory and wealth, such a superior life.
The environment makes these people have almost no so-called ideals, ambitions, and so-called pursuits. I'm afraid they just drink the most mellow wine and sleep with the most beautiful women.
Zhao Hongrun is very envious...no, hates these people very much!
Because his father Zhao Yuansi, the Emperor of Wei, would not give his son money for squandering without reason. Zhao Hongrun had never received even a copper coin from his father when he grew up. After all, Emperor Wei's education method, no, should
It is said that the education method of the royal family is like this: whatever you can earn is yours, and if you can't earn it, don't think about it.
Precisely because they received such an education since childhood, Zhao Hongrun and his brothers never considered seeking help from their father when encountering problems, and would only rely on their own methods.
It would be fine if it were just that, but sometimes in order to achieve his political goals, Emperor Wei would not hesitate to betray his son, plot against his son, and use his son to make things worse. Now Zhao Hongrun has to carefully consider everything he does to avoid being used by his father.
Being used is a small thing, but if he is laughed at and ridiculed by his father after being used, this is absolutely unbearable.
"Hongrun!"
Just as Zhao Hongrun was sizing up the four clan uncles, with thoughts abounding in his mind, a loud shout rang out in the hall.
When Zhao Hongrun came back to his senses, he noticed that his third uncle was staring at him with a steady look on his face.
Where did you offend this old guy again?
Zhao Hongrun looked at his third uncle in confusion, but saw the latter pointing at the four princes and kings and saying coldly to Zhao Hongrun: "They are all your uncles. I asked you to salute them, why are you pretending to be deaf and dumb?!"
Salute these four people?
Zhao Hongrun frowned and turned to look at Zhao Wenshen, King of Chengling, Zhao Wenzhuo, King of Jiyang, Zhao Wenxuan, King of Zhongyang, and Zhao Wenkai, King of Yuanyang. When he saw the faces of these four people, there was a kind of pride that he tried hard to hide but could not hide.
Suddenly he sank.
That's it...it turned out to be this idea.
Zhao Hongrun smacked his lips and looked at the four princes and kings with a half-smile.
He has already guessed the plan of these four princes and kings, which is nothing more than using the old antiques in the clan to put pressure on him, make him bow his head, and make him submit.
And the third uncle had obviously been convinced by these four people.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, turned to look at his third uncle, and asked with a smile: "Third uncle, is it true that Hongrun, if I salute the four clan uncles, I can go back? And in the future
Are we not in conflict with each other? If so, I don’t mind saluting the four clan uncles."
The third uncle's face froze when he heard this, and the expressions of the four princes and kings were also a little unnatural. After all, the purpose of calling Zhao Hongrun here today was for matters in Sanchuan. As for saluting and so on, it was nothing more than forcing Zhao Hongrun to come over.
He just lowered his head so that he could make subsequent requests more easily.
But now that Zhao Hongrun said this, they were a bit embarrassed.
Seeing this, Chengling King Zhao Wenshen quickly smoothed things over and said: "Third uncle, there is no need to worry too much about whether to be polite or not. Hongrun is still young and neglects etiquette. This is also a teenager's habit." After that, he turned around.
He turned to Zhao Hongrun and said, "Hongrun, I'm waiting for this invitation."
You came here hoping to have a good discussion with you about matters in Sanchuan... As your uncles, we were all a little puzzled in the past few days. We don't know where we offended you, so that our caravan was refused to leave Chenggao.
Guan, we thought there might be some misunderstanding."
"..." Zhao Hongrun remained silent.
In fact, he had no personal grudges against the four uncles, and he would not have cut off their financial resources. However, for the future of Wei, Zhao Hongrun felt that he needed to curb the merchants controlled by certain royal families and public families in the country.
Strength gives civilian merchants the opportunity to grow.
Therefore, from the perspective of the country and the country, what Zhao Hongrun did was not wrong.
But if we analyze this matter from the perspective of fraternity, then Zhao Hongrun's approach is somewhat biased, and seems to be turning his elbows outward.
Especially when Chengling King Zhao Wenshen described the matter in a friendly tone, Zhao Hongrun really didn't know how to answer the question.
Perhaps seeing that Zhao Hongrun had been silent for too long, the third uncle snorted and said: "Hongrun, all you have to do is nod here. I will handle it on my own at Chenggao Pass."
The implication is that as long as Zhao Hongrun nods his head at this moment, the matter will be decided.
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun, who had been silent just now, raised his head and looked at his third uncle, and asked seriously: "Third uncle, do you know why Hongrun volunteered to lead his army to Yingshui County to defeat Chu Yang City the year before last? Will Jun Xiongtuo invade our Wei army?"
The third uncle frowned and said displeasedly: "I will remember your merits..."
However, Zhao Hongrun ignored the words of his third uncle, and after interrupting, he said to himself: "The State of Chu thought that by exerting oppression, we could make the Wei people surrender. I used my record of defeating an army of 160,000 to tell the State of Chu, no! I, the Great Wei, dare to say no to any evil party that forces us to do so... No!"
After that, he looked at his third uncle intently and said decisively: "No! This is my king's answer!"
The whole hall was silent.
Chengling King Zhao Wenshen, Jiyang King Zhao Wenzhuo, Zhongyang King Zhao Wenxuan, and Yuanyang King Zhao Wenkai looked at Zhao Hongrun in horror. Even Zhao Hongrun's second uncle, Zhao Yuanyan, opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhao Hongrun in disbelief.
No one thought that Zhao Hongrun would have such courage. In the clan house, in front of the three elders of the clan, he arrogantly called himself the king and insulted the third uncle as a villain. This is simply unprecedented. thing!
"You..." The third uncle gradually came back to his senses after being stunned for a while, pointed at Zhao Hongrun and said in shock: "Hongrun, how dare you..."
"Call Su Wang!" Zhao Hongrun shouted in a deep voice.
"What?" The third uncle was shocked when he heard this.
Zhao Hongrun snorted coldly and said coldly: "I am King Su of the Great Wei Dynasty. I have been given the title of king by my father. Am I just a junior in your mouth? If you also have the throne, I will be on the same level as you. Otherwise, I will be the king." After you..."
"Presumptuous!" Third uncle slapped the case and scolded: "Junior, do you dare to disregard the ancestral etiquette as nothing?!"
"The ancestral etiquette tells you to rely on your old age and sell your old age?" Zhao Hongrun snorted coldly, and then he stared at his third uncle intently and cursed word by word: "Old guy!"
Scolded.
This time it was no longer just about criticizing Sang and Huai, but insulting her in person.
For a moment, Chengling King Zhao Wenshen, Jiyang King Zhao Wenzhuo, Zhongyang King Zhao Wenxuan, Yuanyang King Zhao Wenkai, including Zhao Yuanyan, all looked horrified and dumbfounded.
"Come here!" The third uncle was furious, pointing at Zhao Hongrun and shouting: "Take down this arrogant son!"
After hearing this, Zongwei Yu Linlang rushed out of the inner hall and lifted Zhao Hongrun up.
If nothing goes wrong, Zhao Hongrun should be locked up in the meditation room to face the wall and think about his mistakes.
But Zhao Hongrun's expression remained calm and calm, as if he didn't even pay attention to the Meditation Room, which was feared by the royal family's children.
Looking at Zhao Hongrun being taken away by Zongwei Yu Linlang, Chengling King Zhao Wenshen, Jiyang King Zhao Wenzhuo, Zhongyang King Zhao Wenxuan, and Yuanyang King Zhao Wenkai looked at each other.
