On September 25, when King Wei's capital was in Daliang, Emperor Wei received an urgent letter from his son Zhao Hongrun.
Emperor Wei is now more and more satisfied with his eighth son Zhao Hongrun. After all, although this son can be quite dishonest at times, and almost makes his father's lungs explode when he is naughty, it is undeniable that once this son becomes serious, Emperor Wei
I really can't imagine that among his peers in the Ji Zhao royal family, there are still young people as talented as this son.
Perhaps there is another person, such as the sixth son Rui Wang Hongzhao who is far away in Qi State.
"Your Majesty, this letter from His Royal Highness Prince Su must be good news."
In the Chuigong Hall, Zhongshu Zuocheng Yu Ziqi seemed to remind him profoundly.
You should know that although Qiu Yu, the supplementary imperial official who was responsible for the advance military supervision, would write down the current situation every few days and send someone to report it to Daliang, so that Daliang could know the battle situation in Sanchuan in time.
But it is undeniable that what Qiu Yu reported was not as detailed as what Zhao Hongrun wrote in his own hand. After all, the former was just a supervisor, and Zhao Hongrun was the real decision-maker. Therefore, there were some things that Qiu Yu did not necessarily understand thoroughly.
Because of this, the three Zhongshu ministers in Chui Gong Palace were all very interested in the letter written by Zhao Hongrun. However, Emperor Wei sighed secretly while holding the letter, and he didn't know what he was feeling. This made the waiting people
The three Zhongshu ministers felt as uncomfortable as a cat's claw scratching their hearts.
Perhaps noticing the eager anticipation of the three Zhongshu ministers, Emperor Wei laughed, temporarily stopped thinking about his sixth son Zhao Hongzhao, and slowly opened the letter.
This official victory report from Zhao Hongrun is different from what was written by Qiu Yu, the imperial censor who served as the supervisor of the army. The victory report was written by Yang Yang in several articles, detailing the process and results of Zhao Hongrun's conquest of Sanchuan.
In comparison, the messages sent back to Daliang every few days by Qiu Yu, the imperial censor's supplementary official, were as short as gossip and unconvincing.
"It's a good news, that's right."
After a few cursory glances, Emperor Wei nodded and slowly walked toward the palace from the side of the dragon case.
Regarding the battle report, Emperor Wei had some complaints about his eighth son Zhao Hongrun.
Obviously the Battle of Sanchuan ended at the end of August, but the victory report was not sent to Daliang until September 25th, as if that scoundrel didn't care about sending the victory report to the royal capital.
But to be honest, from Emperor Wei's point of view, his son might really not care about this.
After all, Zhao Hongrun had made it very clear that the reason why he did this was simply because he was the prince of the Wei people and a member of the royal family. He did not intend to claim credit, and he did not want the court to mobilize troops to hold a triumphal victory.
For example, during the last expedition against Chu, Zhao Hongrun sneaked back to the palace with his clan guards and gave his father, Emperor Wei, a huge surprise.
If Bailiba, the general of the dredging army, hadn't been smart enough to temporarily find a fair-skinned soldier to pretend to be King Su, the imperial court might not have known how to explain it to the more than 100,000 people who came out of the city to greet him.
In this regard, Emperor Wei could only think on the bright side, repeatedly reminding himself that this was his son who was not greedy for fame and had a very good character. He was definitely not a bad son who didn't care about the feelings of others who were anxious about the battle ahead day and night.
.
Unfortunately, this kind of reminder is really unconvincing, especially when Emperor Wei gradually understood clearly what kind of character his eighth son was.
"Hey, all the generals in the world who go on an expedition immediately report victory to the royal capital after winning a battle. But this guy is waiting for that scoundrel to come back. I want to talk about him. He is so smart, can't he not think about it?
How many people here in Daliang are worried about the battle situation on the front line?" Emperor Wei complained while reading the victory reports.
I'm afraid it's not that I can't think about it, but that I don't care at all.
Zhongshu Ling Lin Yuyang and Zhongshu Zuocheng Yu Ziqi looked at each other and murmured secretly.
On the contrary, the latter had a good word for Zhao Hongrun: "When His Highness King Su is doing things, he always concentrates on them without any distractions. Maybe he has really forgotten."
"Well, that makes sense." Emperor Wei nodded and got off the donkey along the slope.
After all, he doesn’t really want to blame his son, it’s just a disguised way of showing off, just like those who complain about their children in front of outsiders. My child studies hard every day. His grades are enough to get into a good school. I really don’t know that he is so
It’s the same truth for parents who work hard to do something.
In fact, when it comes to the victory, Zhao Hongrun's summary of winning this battle is nothing more than a few lines, such as the soldiers sacrificed their lives, Jiejiao was destroyed, Bitatu bowed down, and the remaining troops surrendered.
And there are several articles after this, which are his rewards and pension arrangements for the Shang Shui Army, which are dense and detailed.
In fact, it stands to reason that the rewards and pensions after the war should be decided by the Ministry of War. However, it is obvious that the relationship between Zhao Hongrun and the Ministry of War is not good, and he cannot trust the Ministry of War. After finishing the affairs of the Ministry of War, the court can just ignore it.
The Ministry of War directly asks the Ministry of Household Affairs to provide rewards and compensation.
It is obviously an act that exceeds its authority, but I believe that in the case of a great victory, the imperial court will not care. Even the Ministry of War can only pretend to be deaf and mute, and pretend that this is not the case.
No, Emperor Wei tore off the pieces with a smile on his face and ordered the eunuch Tong Xian to hand these pieces of paper to the Ministry of Household Affairs and ask the latter to prepare rewards and pensions.
After that, Emperor Wei continued to watch the victory report. Suddenly, his eyes widened with a look of surprise.
Seeing this, Lin Yuyang, Yu Ziqi and others didn't care much. They came to the side of Emperor Wei and poked their heads to see what happened that surprised the majesty in front of them.
Only Feng Yu, the right prime minister of Zhongshu, stood aside and did not dare to step forward. After all, the behavior of Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi at this moment was quite unbecoming: the emperor could stand casually beside him?
However, just when Feng Yu was about to secretly remind these two colleagues, he saw Emperor Wei, Lin Yuyang, and Yu Ziqi looking at each other. All three of them had faces full of joy and exclaimed in unison: "Fifty thousand three rivers riding?
!”
"Wha, what?" Feng Yu looked puzzled.
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him at this moment. Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi stepped forward, bowed to Emperor Wei, and congratulated: "Your Majesty is blessed with fifty thousand Jie tribe cavalry."
Emperor Wei also seemed quite happy and said repeatedly: "Is this a great blessing for me? I am the blessing of the Great Wei, the blessing of the Great Wei." After that, he touched the dragon's beard and said: "As far as I know, the Jie cavalry is no less good than the Korean cavalry.
Jingqi?”
"Both have their own merits, and it is difficult to distinguish the superior from the inferior." Lin Yuyang seemed to have some understanding of the Korean cavalry, and commented pertinently: "The Korean cavalry is better because of its strict discipline. If it encounters the Jie tribe's cavalry, with more than 10,000, South Korea will definitely win. But if
Thousands of cavalry from both sides meet, and the Korean cavalry may not have a chance of winning."
After this, Yu Ziqi also happily echoed: "We, the Wei Dynasty, will not be afraid of these 50,000 Sanchuan Cavalry."
Seeing the joyful expressions on the faces of the monarch and his ministers, Feng Yu secretly regretted that he had not been able to stand over just now.
While chatting and reading, Emperor Wei gradually read several articles about the Luoshui Alliance. When he saw that his ministers held a banquet and invited hundreds of tribes to gather, and they all came, and no one dared not to follow this sentence, Emperor Wei vomited fiercely.
tone.
Obviously, the Jie tribe's behavior of not giving face during the joint hunting made the king of Wei deeply hate him. But now, his son has given me such a bad breath. To say that Emperor Wei is not happy, it is obviously
lie.
It is worth mentioning that after the Hundred Tribes Alliance Alliance, the number of allies in the Luoshui Alliance has expanded to more than sixty tribes, which is almost half of the tribal strength in the Sanchuan Land.
In other words, Zhao Hongrun attracted half of Sanchuan to the Wei camp.
No wonder Lin Yuyang exclaimed after seeing this: "I just thought that the 50,000 Jie cavalry would be King Su's biggest gain this time, but I didn't expect that King Su actually won over half of Sanchuan!"
Yu Ziqi also followed up and praised: "This policy can secure our Wei Dynasty for a hundred years!"
Listening to the exclamations of the two Zhongshu ministers, Emperor Wei felt extremely satisfied.
While he was satisfied, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Such an outstanding son, a son who did an excellent job whether it was leading troops to fight or appeasing foreigners, had no interest in that position at all.
As a father, Emperor Wei was pleased, but as a king, Emperor Wei was undoubtedly disappointed.
But just when he was extremely disappointed, he suddenly saw Zhao Hongrun's only request for instructions in the good news.
From the side, Yu Zi opened his mouth and quickly said this: "The Jie tribe and the Ling tribe actually hope to get the support of Wei Dynasty to attack the Ba Kingdom?"
As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere in the palace immediately changed slightly. Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi, who were standing next to Emperor Wei, also calmly took half a step back, holding their breath lightly, not daring to disturb Emperor Wei's contemplation.
In fact, speaking of it, at that time, in addition to the Jie and Ling tribes, those who asked Zhao Hongrun for the support of the Wei State were also the Wubian Tribe, which has now joined the Luoshui Alliance. The leader of the Wubian Tribe, Chelarhe, hoped that the Wei State would
Support them to resist Qin's attack.
Zhao Hongrun has already agreed to this matter. After all, because of the relationship with Longxi, the relationship between Wei and Qin has become hostile. Even if Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun regard each other as good chat friends, it is not enough for Zhao Hongrun to abandon his official position for personal reasons.
After all, once Qin intervenes in Sanchuan, it will not only damage the interests of the Sanchuan tribe, but also damage the prestige of Wei.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun must support the Wubian tribe, not only out of consideration for interests, but also to let the allies of the Luoshui Alliance see that Wei is committed to maintaining the stability and peace of Sanchuan, and it is not just talk.
But the Ba country is different. Although the Wei people and the Ba people are said to have a feud, there is currently no conflict of interest between the two because of their location. The Wei people have never established diplomatic relations with the Ba country. They simply ignore them. At most, they
A few scoldings of despicable villains after dinner, that's all.
In this case, whether it is necessary for the Wei State to support the Jie and Ling tribes to attack the Ba State has become a major matter that even Zhao Hongrun has no right to advocate, or it is a national policy.
There was total silence in the Chui Gong Hall, except for the sound of Emperor Wei pacing while thinking deeply.
After a long time, Emperor Wei slowly said with a straight face: "Yes!" To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote on Qidiann, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to n
