As Zhao Hongrun said, when he left the mansion, he deliberately put on an angry look in order to prevent the clan from noticing, so that he could suddenly launch an attack and catch the clan by surprise.
After coming out of the palace of Chengling King Zhao Wenshen, Zhao Hongrun went to visit Zhao Wenzhuo, King of Jiyang, Zhao Wenxuan, King of Zhongyang, and Zhao Wenkai, King of Yuanyang.
It has to be said that the progress was very smooth. When Zhao Hongrun used the "Tweening Order" as a killing weapon, the three kings of Jiyang, Zhao Wenzhuo, Zhongyang King Zhao Wenxuan and Yuanyang King Zhao Wenkai were still very proud and thought that
Zhao Hongrun had no choice but to come to beg their princes, and his face turned pale with fear.
Zhao Wenxuan, the King of Zhongyang, who knew the bottom line, kept urging Zhao Hongrun not to die together. He even said, "This is a chaotic plan to overthrow the country and exterminate the clan", and "Your Majesty will not agree to this."
But no matter what, under the coercion of Zhao Hongrun and Da Bang, these three princes and kings finally compromised.
Of course, for this reason, Zhao Hongrun had to make various promises, such as opening up Sanchuan and bringing the obedient nobles in the country to play with him in the future. Even Bolangsha, Zhao Hongrun also backed down and allowed them to participate.
It has to be said that in order to bring down the clan, Zhao Hongrun made quite a big concession this time.
But having said that, Zhao Hongrun also warned these people: If you want to play with me, you can, but the prerequisite is to donate the mineral veins in your hands and not to cause trouble.
Regarding the matter of offering up the mineral veins in their hands, except for Chengling King Zhao Wenshen, who had already agreed, and Yuanyang King Zhao Wenkai, who did not have much mineral vein resources in his hands, the other two princes and kings seemed a little hesitant.
In this regard, Zhao Hongrun did not force them. After all, the top priority now was to deal with the clan, not to mention that his conditions were clearly stated: if he wanted to make a fortune with me, he would obediently hand over the mineral resources that had occupied the imperial court.
Speaking of which, these four princes and kings are not the only ones putting pressure on the imperial court this time. They are just representatives, and there are a large group of royal families, noble families, and noble forces behind them.
But there is no need for Zhao Hongrun to worry about these. The four princes and kings will naturally negotiate with each other after the incident in the Zongfu.
The conditions are still the same. Those who are obedient and willing to hand over the mineral veins in their hands can join Su Wang Hongrun. If they are not willing, then continue to make trouble and see which party has a strong enough fist in the end.
Anyway, for Zhao Hongrun, as long as these royal families, public families, and noble forces are not united as a monolith, he can always think of ways to deal with those who are disobedient.
Of course, the "Tweet the Order" cannot be used, because this trick does not distinguish between people, and will easily cause disaster to all the noble forces in the country, and the Wei Kingdom will be destroyed accordingly.
"Your Highness, where are you going next? Are you going back to your hometown?"
After Zhao Hongrun got on the carriage, Zongwei Shen Yu, who was driving the carriage, turned around and asked.
Zhao Hongrun pondered for a moment and said, "I still have to visit someone, but for this person, it's not appropriate for me to visit him at home..."
As he spoke, he slowly revealed the identity of this person: Zongfu Zongzheng Zhao Yuanyan.
That is his second uncle.
After hearing the identity of the other party, Shen Yu and Lu Mu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
After all, Zhao Yuanyan lives in the Zongfu, and His Highness has just offended the Zongfu. What's more, he used "return to the house to rest for a few days" as an excuse to escape. How can he enter the Zongfu again?
But if someone is sent to invite him, Zhao Yuanyan may not come out to avoid suspicion.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Hongrun said to Shen Yu and Lu Mu: "Do you know my cousin Zhao Hongmin, the eldest son of my second uncle?"
"know."
"Find a way to tie him to the palace, and then ask someone to deliver a letter to the second uncle. If he doesn't come, I will get my cousin drunk, strip him naked, and throw him on the bed of the girls in Fangshui Pavilion."
"Isn't this trick too destructive?"
Shen Yu and Lu Mu looked at each other and advised hesitantly: "Your Highness, this move may offend Prince Yan and Young Master Min."
"Why are you panicking?" Zhao Hongrun glanced at the two of them and said angrily: "I just said that, and I didn't say that I would definitely do this?...Don't worry, as long as there is a suitable excuse, the second uncle will come to the palace to see you. mine."
After hearing Zhao Hongrun's explanation, Shen Yu and Lu Mu breathed a sigh of relief, but they still seemed unsure: "Is this... OK?"
"Don't worry, go quickly!"
"yes!"
Therefore, Shen Yu and Lu Mu first sent Zhao Hongrun back to Prince Su's Mansion, and then left the Prince's Mansion in disguise with a group of Prince Su's guards.
As for Zhao Hongrun, after returning to Prince Su's Mansion, he first went to the inner garden to meet with the girls.
When he arrived at the inner garden, he found that Princess Yulong and Mi Rui had returned, and even Miss Su had temporarily moved to Prince Su's Mansion with her little maid Lu'er.
The girls kept asking whether Zhao Hongrun had endured any hardships after being imprisoned by the clan for seventeen days. During this period, the little girl Yang Yanxing had tears in her eyes, which also infected Miss Su and Oona. Zhao Hongrun felt a headache and comforted them in turn.
When the emotions of the girls gradually stabilized, they began to dislike Zhao Hongrun.
It's no wonder, after all, Zhao Hongrun was locked up in the silent meditation room of the clan for seventeen days, with no chance to wash up. In addition, the quiet meditation room was extremely hot and stuffy, making Zhao Hongrun's body smell of sweat extremely strong. How could the girls cope with it.
During this period, Mi Jiang, who was as venomous as Zhao Hongrun, even said, "How can it be so smelly? Are you rotten?"
Zhao Hongrun was so angry that his teeth itched.
However, he had to admit that the smell was indeed unpleasant, and it was a credit to Chengling King Zhao Wenshen, Jiyang King Zhao Wenzhuo, Zhongyang King Zhao Wenxuan, and Yuanyang King Zhao Wenkai to refrain from pointing it out.
After saying goodbye to the girls, Zhao Hongrun took a bath first, changed his clothes, and then ordered some wine and food to be placed on the stone table in the woods in front of the north house.
Zhao Hongrun was eating wine and food while waiting for his second uncle Zhao Yuanyan.
Sure enough, around dusk, Zhao Hongrun's second uncle, Zongfu Zongzheng Zhao Yuanyan, appeared in front of him.
"Bad threat."
When he saw Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Yuanyan said coldly with a straight face.
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun smiled, stood up and said, "As long as the goal is achieved, no matter whether the means are clumsy or not, isn't the second uncle here?" After that, he asked the second uncle to take a seat.
Prince Yan snorted coldly, sat down opposite Zhao Hongrun unceremoniously, and said calmly: "If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun poured a glass of wine for the second uncle and said slowly: "Second uncle, my nephew thinks that you are the Zongzheng of the clan now, but there are third uncle, great uncle and other clan elders in the clan. Thinking about it, my second uncle will also feel some discomfort, right?"
"..." Prince Yan glanced at Zhao Hongrun indifferently, picked up the wine glass unceremoniously, drank the wine in one gulp, and then said lightly: "The wine is quite good; the words are very poor."
After saying that, he looked up at Zhao Hongrun and said with a straight face: "Do you think you can save anything with just one clumsy divorce move?"
"It all depends on people." Zhao Hongrun laughed and poured another glass for the second uncle.
Zhao Yuanyan shook his head speechlessly and subconsciously picked up the chopsticks.
But when he lowered his head and looked at the dishes on the stone table, he couldn't help but be stunned, because he found that Zhao Hongrun had almost eaten all the dishes, leaving only some leftovers.
He raised his head and glanced at Zhao Hongrun, thinking to himself: Your kid invites me over for a drink, and you just let me eat your leftovers?
As if he had read through the second uncle's thoughts, Zhao Hongrun blinked and said with a smile: "If the second uncle agrees to help my nephew, my nephew will immediately order the chef to prepare wine and food, otherwise..." He made a face and said with a flat mouth.
: "Otherwise, we can only let the second uncle drink porridge."
Prince Yan was so angry that he put down his chopsticks and nodded and said, "Porridge is good. I like porridge. Please serve it."
Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly, then clapped his hands twice. Immediately, Zong Wei and Gao Kuo stepped out from the side and placed a bronze cooking cauldron beside Zhao Yuanyan. Then they added charcoal fire to the cauldron and added another
Pour water into the cooking pot.
Finally, Zhongzhao placed a fist-sized gray cloth bag on the stone table.
"This...you want me to do it myself?"
Zhao Yuanyan was even more surprised and doubtful, and did not speak, but just looked at Zhao Hongrun silently.
After a while, the water boiled, and Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "My second uncle won't help me, so I have to cook the porridge myself. The water has boiled, and my second uncle can cook the rice."
"What on earth does this boy want to do?"
Zhao Yuanyan had doubts in his heart, but since Zhao Hongrun didn't say anything, he didn't ask either.
But when he picked up the rice bag, he was quite careful. After all, as far as he knew, this nephew could be quite damaging sometimes.
He carefully opened the rice bag and smelled it.
With this sniff, you can smell the problem.
It turned out that the rice in the rice bag actually exuded a musty smell.
Zhao Yuanyan looked at Zhao Hongrun subconsciously, but his first reaction was not to be furious, because based on his understanding of Zhao Hongrun, the latter would not use such crude tactics to humiliate him.
As expected, seeing Zhao Yuanyan looking up at him, Zhao Hongrun said calmly: "Second uncle, don't worry, at least half of this bag of rice is new rice, but the rest is the moldy old rice that my nephew finally asked someone to find. Eat it."
It will lead to diarrhea... If my second uncle doesn’t help me, my nephew won’t help him pick it up.”
"This kid...could he be angry with King Chengling and the others and come here to tease me?"
At this moment, even Zhao Yuanyan began to have some doubts.
But just when he was about to pick out the smelly old rice from the rice bag, he suddenly froze and looked at Zhao Hongrun with an incredible look.
Because he suddenly realized that Zhao Hongrun was not making fun of him, but was using this bag as a metaphor for the aristocratic power in Wei.
If the whole bag of rice is poured into the cooking pot, the cooked porridge will definitely smell bad, and the intact rice will be wasted, making it impossible to swallow.
But if the rotten rice is picked out, wouldn't this be playing into Zhao Hongrun's hands?
"This move... is so good!"
Looking at the smiling Zhao Hongrun, even Zhao Yuanyan hesitated for a moment.
At this moment, Zhao Hongrun lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Is the second uncle just thinking, 'Could this boy be angry with the four Chengling kings and come here to tease me on purpose?
?』…No.”
Under Zhao Yuanyan's disbelieving gaze, Zhao Hongrun said in a low tone: "My nephew, I have already convinced those four people..."
"How is that possible?!"
Zhao Yuanyan was horrified when he heard this.
He could not imagine that Zhao Wenshen, King of Chengling, Zhao Wenzhuo, King of Jiyang, Zhao Wenxuan, King of Zhongyang, and Zhao Wenkai, King of Yuanyang, would actually fall to the side of the nephew in front of him.
