Sitting in the seat in the inner hall for the third time, Zhao Hongrun glanced at his great-uncle Zhao Tairu, who was sneering at him in the main seat, and his third uncle who was glaring at him in the east seat.
"Hongrun, today, we must make a result regarding the Sanchuan incident."
The third uncle who was scolded by Zhao Hongrun a few days ago was still the first to speak today.
However, before discussing the Sanchuan matter, the third uncle began to criticize Zhao Hongrun for his ungrateful sitting posture. He probably wanted to save his face after being scolded by Zhao Hongrun a few days ago and vent his anger.
In this regard, Zhao Hongrun's attitude seemed very calm, and he said with a smile: "Third uncle, I thought you were more concerned about the Sanchuan matter, but I never thought that my sitting posture is more important than the Sanchuan matter?...
Third uncle, does this king’s sitting posture displease you?”
When the third uncle heard this, he snorted coldly and said coldly: "In front of our ancestors, sitting like this is simply disrespectful. Look at the hall, who else is sitting like this?"
He pointed at everyone in the hall.
Just as he said, except for Zhao Hongrun, all the people in the inner hall were sitting upright, even the seventy-year-old great uncle Zhao Tairu was sitting on his knees with his back straight.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun chuckled and said, "It's just a sitting position, why should you care so much?"
"Isn't this just a sitting posture? This is etiquette! It's education!" The third uncle snorted coldly and scolded: "If you are so uncultured, how will the people in the world view my family with the surname Ji and the Zhao family?"
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes. After looking at his third uncle up and down, he said calmly: "Third uncle's kneeling on the ground... is quite standard. However, I have never heard of the third uncle's name."
"You..." The third uncle suddenly choked up, holding back his anger and said in a deep voice: "That's because you, a junior, are ignorant!... My name is Taoyu, I am two generations older than you, Laiyu!"
"Zhao Laiyu..." Zhao Hongrun read word by word, then shook his head and said lightly: "I haven't heard of it."
Third uncle Zhao Laiyu gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "I am ashamed to hold the position of Zongzheng of the previous clan. I have been here for ten years and you have never heard of it? Ha! This is enough to prove your ignorance."
"That's not necessarily true." Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said calmly: "We have six million people in the Wei Dynasty, distributed all over the country. The third uncle thinks, is it because more people know about "Su Wang Hongrun" or "the former Zongzheng Zhao Laiyu"
"How many people are there?"
The third uncle was suddenly speechless.
After all, Zhao Hongrun's reputation had already spread throughout the Wei Kingdom with two great victories against Chu and Sichuan.
It is no exaggeration to say that at least half of the ten Wei people have heard of "Su Wang Hongrun", but what about "Previous Zongfu Zongzheng Zhao Laiyu"? If you are not a native of Daliang, the royal capital, you may not have heard of this
The name is taboo. Even a Wei man like Wen Shaobo, who came from a small place, didn't even know about the clan.
The two cannot be compared at all.
"Sure enough, it has to do with fame." Zhao Hongrun concluded with a smile.
After hearing this, the third uncle became even more angry and said coldly: "Junior, don't think that just because you have won a few battles by luck, you are qualified to speak nonsense in the clan. In my eyes, you have always been an uneducated person.
Junior!"
"What a coincidence!" Zhao Hongrun smiled and said lightly: "In my eyes, Third Uncle, you are just an old guy who only relies on his old age to show off his old age... How many battles did you say I was lucky enough to win? Hahaha
, why don’t you see Third Uncle, you’re lucky enough to show it to me? Right now, South Korea in the north is threatening my Shanyang County in the Wei Dynasty, so there are plenty of opportunities, Third Uncle, why don’t you express your gratitude?”
"..." Third uncle opened his mouth, speechless.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun narrowed his eyes and said mockingly: "It seems that the one who made such nonsense is not me, but some self-righteous old guy... What a coward, third uncle."
"you……"
"What are you?" Interrupting the third uncle's words, Zhao Hongrun said calmly: "If one day, South Korea in the north dares to infringe on the interests of the Wei Dynasty, I will still personally lead the army to conquer, and use what the third uncle called "
"Lucky", defeated
The Korean army invaded. This is the responsibility that I, as a member of the Zhao family with the surname Ji, should shoulder... Perhaps the third uncle can also give it a try. Maybe those Koreans, after seeing the upright sitting posture of the third uncle,
He might withdraw his troops or even surrender."
Perhaps because he was scolded by Zhao Hongrun a few days ago, the third uncle's mental endurance today is obviously better than that of the past few days, so that after hearing Zhao Hongrun's ridicule, he did not hold his hands as he did a few days ago.
His chest looked like he might faint at any time.
He said with a look of disgust: "I am not good at military affairs, so you ridiculed me..."
"Third uncle, you mean that you think you are inferior to me in leading troops in war? Haha, I am only sixteen this year. Third uncle, third uncle, it seems that you have lived a lifetime in vain..." Zhao Hongrun shook his head.
Head tilted and laughing.
Third uncle's face turned red with anger, and he wanted to argue a few words. At this time, he heard Zhao Tairu, the great uncle in charge, say calmly: "Laiyu, today we are just discussing the matter of Sanchuan, what else do we do?" After that, he
Glancing at Zhao Hongrun, he said lightly
Dan said: "Being like Hongrun can only prove that his mother did not teach him well and is not just a virtuous woman. Hey, I thought at the beginning, how could a commoner's daughter like that be qualified to enter the palace and become a concubine?
Besides, my body is still weak..."
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun, who had been full of ridicule just now, suddenly turned down and said coldly: "Zhao Tairu, what did you say?"
"..."
Zhao Yuanyan glanced at Zhao Hongrun, who had a frosty face. On the one hand, he was surprised that the latter dared to name his great-uncle, but on the other hand, he was also secretly worried that this matter would get worse.
It was well known in the court that Prince Su Hongrun was not hypocritical to anyone, but there was only one person who could criticize him, and that was Concubine Shen Shu of Ningxiang Palace.
Only when being scolded by Concubine Shen Shu, Prince Su would not complain at all. Otherwise, even his father, the Emperor Wei, who was only sixteen years old, would think of revenge.
"Do you want me to name you?" Grand-uncle said calmly, his eyelids slightly drooping, "Sure enough, the kind of son you have will be born from the kind of mother you have."
The entire inner hall was silent. Even the princes and princes had noticed something was wrong with Zhao Hongrun's expression.
Suddenly, Zhao Hongrun laughed.
"Hahaha, hahahaha——"
"..." Great uncle frowned and looked at Zhao Hongrun who was laughing wildly in the hall.
"Okay, okay." After a while, Zhao Hongrun, who stopped laughing, looked up at his great-uncle and said in a deep voice: "At first, I felt a little sorry, but now, I will not show mercy..."
After saying that, he actually stood up and sat upright like everyone in the hall.
But his face was so gloomy and scary.
"Hmph, that's a bluff." Great uncle snorted and said calmly: "Let's decide quickly about the Sanchuan matter."
"What's the rush?" Zhao Hongrun, who was sitting upright, said calmly: "My father hasn't arrived yet."
"..."
Grand uncle glanced at Zhao Hongrun and sneered in his heart: Do you think your father will be able to support you when he comes?
"Okay, just wait for your father to come."
Not long after, Emperor Wei entered the inner hall accompanied by the eunuch Tong Xian and the president of the Three Guards Army Li Zheng.
Emperor Wei was surprised to find that his son Zhao Hongrun's face was extremely gloomy and murderous.
"What's going on?"
Emperor Wei was really puzzled.
He never imagined that someone would touch the dark side of his son's heart.
After seeing the arrival of Emperor Wei, the great uncle ordered Zongwei Yulinlang to add more seats, and said to Zhao Hongrun as if he was impatient: "Okay, junior, your father is here, finish it quickly, I'm tired.
, I don’t have time to quarrel with you.”
"You old man, don't worry, it will be over soon."
Under the astonished gaze of Emperor Wei, Zhao Hongrun said calmly: "Everyone, since everyone is here, just follow what the old immortal said and end this farce as soon as possible... I think the power of the clan is too heavy.
, should be weakened!”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Third uncle frowned and looked at Zhao Hongrun.
At this time, the third uncle couldn't help but sneered: "Junior, what are you talking about? Do you think that with just one word..."
After saying that, he was suddenly stunned because he found that among the people present, he was the only one speaking.
No one, whether it was Zhao Yuanyan, the current Zongzheng Zongzheng who was sitting on his right, nor the four princes and kings sitting opposite him, including the Emperor of Wei who had just arrived, opened their mouths to scold him.
"What...what's going on?"
The third uncle, Zhao Laiyu, looked at everyone in the hall in horror, while the other two elders of the same generation, the uncle and the younger uncle, also had faces full of astonishment.
"This bastard... did a great job!"
At this time, Emperor Wei also looked around the hall and was secretly happy when he saw that Zhao Yuanyan and the four princes and kings were all pretending to be deaf and mute.
He wished he could speak in support of his son at this moment, but because he didn't know how Zhao Hongrun did it, for the sake of caution, he did not speak immediately and acted as if he had not heard him.
The atmosphere in the hall became a little strange.
Great uncle Zhao Tairu also felt it. He originally thought that the four princes and princes did not speak just because they did not want to be insulted by Zhao Hongrun's venomous tongue. But if even Zhao Yuanyan remained silent, then something was not right about this matter.
"Yuanyan? Yuanyan!" Grand uncle called Zhao Yuanyan's name, but no matter how he called, Zhao Yuanyan always remained silent.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun, who was sitting upright, raised his head, looked at his uncle who was already a little panicked, and said lightly: "Old man, I know that you must have heard that I visited King Chengling and other four clan uncles.
, and the second uncle, but you didn’t expect that I could persuade them, right?... Times have changed, and it seems that you old people who only rely on your old age to support you, it’s time to give way. Oh, by the way, I
The king has reached an agreement with the four clan uncles. They will not pay out the compensation of 10 million taels, and the clan will not pay out either. This money will be paid by the descendants of the great uncle and the third uncle.
Pay it back. As the saying goes...if you don’t have money, sell your property!"
Grand uncle looked at Zhao Yuanyan and the four princes in disbelief, but saw that they were still pretending to be deaf and mute, as if they had not heard anything.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun slowly stood up, pointed at his great uncle, and said: "Get up, old man, this position no longer belongs to you!"
