However, facing Zhao Hongrun's faint smile, Zhao Laiyu had no smile on his face.
I saw him saying seriously: "Hongrun, the common people are not trustworthy, why? Because everyone has different minds and everyone has their own selfish motives. Therefore, the Wang family can instigate the common people in the city to denounce it together with that kind of despicable instigation."
The only people you can truly rely on are the people of your lineage..."
After that, he pointed at Zhao Hongrun and said: "Your power comes from your father, but in the final analysis, it is just because you are a descendant of the Zhao family with the surname Ji, and the Zongwei you rely on was also trained by the Zongfu.
...You can't deny that everything you get now is ultimately because you are a descendant of the Zhao family with the surname Ji."
"..." Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly, but did not stop Zhao Laiyu from continuing.
"Take the Anling Wang family as an example. What they are afraid of is not the Yanling Army or the Shangshui Army in your hands. If someone else leads the army, the Wang family is not afraid at all... Even the general who is stationed in the sixth battalion,
Even Bailiba and Sima An, do they dare to offend the Wang family? After all, the Wang family is also of the Ji family. They don't dare, but you dare, why? Because you are a descendant of the Zhao family with the Ji family name, regardless of status
Whether it's your bloodline or bloodline, it's all over them, and they can't do anything to you."
"..." Zhao Hongrun thought for a moment, shook his head and said calmly: "This does not convince me to protect you, the Anling Zhao family."
"I haven't finished speaking yet." Zhao Laiyu waved his hand and said calmly: "I just want to tell you that you can't make the nobles surrender simply by using force. In fact, even if you don't summon the Yanling Army or Shang this time,
The navy came directly to smash up the Wang family's mansion, how dare they do anything to you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongrun glanced at Zhao Laiyu and said jokingly: "Ling Erlang is trying to beat me up."
Zhao Laiyu sighed speechlessly, and then said in a tone that seemed to be aloof from the incident: "That's why, if I hadn't stopped at that time, that bastard would have killed a whole family...and the Wang family didn't
If you do this, no matter how much they hate you, they won't dare to take action against you, they will only cry to your father, why?"
"Because I am a descendant of the Zhao royal family with the surname Ji... Third uncle, would you like to say goodbye in another way?" Zhao Hongrun interrupted angrily.
"Okay, let me put it another way." Zhao Laiyu stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then said: "Hongrun, do you think your father knows that nine out of ten nobles surnamed Ji in the country are corrupt and pervert the law?
thing?"
"..." Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes and was too lazy to answer.
Seeing this, Zhao Laiyu chuckled and continued: "Of course he knows it, but why doesn't he come forward to punish it?"
"..." Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes again.
Helpless, Zhao Laiyu had no choice but to answer by himself: "Because this matter is so big that one move can affect the whole body. Even your father has to compromise. So, I ask you, if there are several Ji surnamed Zhao behind you.
If you support me, even if the new king succeeds to the throne in the future, will he dare to touch you?"
Huh?
Zhao Hongrun's expression became slightly solemn.
But at this time, Zhao Laiyu shook his head and said sternly: "He doesn't dare!... As long as the clan is still there, as long as you have the huge Zhao branch nobles surnamed Ji behind you to support you, even if the new king wants to succeed to the throne,
If you want to take back your rights, you must also consider the reaction of those nobles of the Zhao family with the surname Ji who support you."
At this point, Zhao Laiyu changed his tone and whispered in a bewitching tone: "Not only do you want to build your own family, but you also want to win over the nobles of the Zhao family named Ji. This will make you invincible.
Land!"
After taking such a big detour, he still asked me to protect his Anling Zhao family...
Zhao Hongrun muttered to himself, but he had to admit that the words of Zhao Laiyu's third uncle were indeed unique.
Because of the Sanchuan Incident, Zhao Hongrun had personally experienced being pressured by many nobles in the country. Although it seemed that he had won at first and defeated the powerful sect masters such as Zhao Tairu, Zhao Laiyu and others, in the final analysis, he really
Did you win?
No, he lost.
He finally compromised and reached an agreement with King Chengling and other princes, and in early July this year, Sanchuan was officially opened to the nobles in the country.
This is the combined power of the nobles in Wei State, which can make the court compromise, make the Emperor of Wei compromise, and make him, the rumored arrogant and domineering King Su, also have to compromise.
This is really a very powerful force. If Zhao Hongrun also masters the will of a noble, even if the new king in the future intends to weaken him, it will not be so easy.
"If you insist on not wanting to participate in the fight for the throne, then this is the best way to ensure that the power in your hands will not be weakened by the new king in the future." Zhao Laiyu said in conclusion.
"..." Zhao Hongrun stood up and walked back and forth in the study.
It was undeniable that he felt that he was really persuaded by Zhao Laiyu.
Although he didn't think that the Prince of the East Palace would really succeed in ascending the throne, what if it happened?
Even if the Prince of the East Palace falls at the feet of Yong Wang Hongyu, even if Yong Wang Hongyu has an agreement with him, Zhao Hongrun, what if?
Zhao Hongrun doesn't want to let others decide his fate. He has always held the initiative in his own hands.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun turned to Zhao Laiyu and said: "However, third uncle, those children and grandchildren of yours are indeed incompetent..."
After hearing this, Zhao Laiyu immediately responded: "I just want to take this opportunity to dampen their spirit."
He answered the question very quickly, as if he had already guessed what Zhao Hongrun would say.
This old fox... is he trying to make me a whetstone?
Zhao Hongrun looked at Zhao Laiyu with a strange expression for a while, but in the end, he nodded.
At this moment, his heart moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of a question. He turned around and asked Zhao Laiyu: "Why choose me?"
Zhao Laiyu smiled when he heard this and said, "Because this sword named King Su is the sharpest. Once it is unsheathed, it will emit a cold light that makes people afraid to look directly at it."
"What do you mean? You're saying in a roundabout way that I'm flamboyant? Domineering?" Zhao Hongrun frowned.
However, after hearing this, Zhao Laiyu shook his head and said seriously: "There is nothing wrong with being domineering... This makes it easier to suppress some people..."
"Some people?" Zhao Hongrun noticed the word Zhao Laiyu and said strangely: "You don't mean the East Palace or King Yong, do you?"
Zhao Laiyu shook his head, and then said with a bit of worry: "It's more difficult than that... the Wei family!"
Wei family? Where did my great Wei come from?
Just when he thought of this, Zhao Hongrun's complexion suddenly changed slightly, his eyes narrowed, and he murmured: "Longxi Ji's surname is Wei..."
After that, he subconsciously looked at Zhao Laiyu, and he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart again: This old guy has such far-reaching vision!
Zhao Laiyu obviously noticed Zhao Hongrun's astonished look, sighed softly, and said with a wry smile: "According to what your sixth uncle Yuan Li said, Longxi has been unable to maintain for a long time. Last autumn, your third uncle led the army to support Longxi... To be honest.
, I am not optimistic about it. Although Yuan Zuo is a genius in military affairs, the power of Longxi has been weakened. How can he compete with the Qin State? The best result is nothing more than to bring the Wei family lineage of Longxi Ji to our great Wei Dynasty...
…But this move may cause turmoil in our great Wei Dynasty.”
…
Of course Zhao Hongrun understood what the third uncle meant by turmoil.
You know, when it comes down to it, the Wei family is the orthodox Ji surname, and the Zhao family is just a separate family.
However, after leaving Longxi, the Zhao family had good luck, established a country, and successively annexed several small countries in the Central Plains, and did better than the Wei family, their mother's family.
At present, the Wei family is weak. If Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, is really unable to resist Qin's offensive, there is a high probability that he will take the Wei family to Wei.
Then the question arises: When the time comes, will Wei still respect the Zhao family, or will it change to the Wei family?
Who is the host? Who is the guest?
Who is the king? Who is the minister?
Who is the orthodox? Who is the side branch?
Needless to say, when the time comes, Zhao Hongrun and his father, Emperor Wei Zhao Yuancai, will not be able to hand over the throne and the Kingdom of Wei to the Wei family, but they will not eradicate these people. Although the domestic nobles, whether it is the main family of the Ji family or the branch family, I am afraid that
No one would welcome the Wei family to Wei, to this country that belongs to them.
Just like the Anling people do not welcome Yanling refugees to come to their Anling to seek asylum.
By then, there will definitely be a conflict between the Zhao family and the Wei family.
Obviously, this is the most fundamental reason why Zhao Laiyu hopes to seek Zhao Hongrun's asylum: he has no confidence that his Anling Zhao family can survive the power struggle with the Wei family.
Based on Zhao Hongrun's character and power, Zhao Laiyu did not think that he would suffer in the battle between the Zhao family and the Wei family. I am afraid that only he can suppress the royal family with the surname Ji Wei.
After hearing these words, Zhao Hongrun also realized that he might really have to establish his influence among the nobles.
Between the common people and the nobles in the country, Zhao Hongrun naturally prefers the former; but between the Zhao family and the Wei family, he naturally prefers the Zhao family. What reason does he have to help those strangers in the Wei family?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun said to Zhao Laiyu: "Third uncle, tomorrow ask some of your children and grandchildren who you think are still salvageable to come to me. I will peel off their skin first and give them a good beating!... But
, having said that, I will not relax the punishment that should be given to you."
After hearing this, Zhao Laiyu nodded with satisfaction: "Just follow your wishes, Hongrun."
On the same day, after Zhao Laiyu said goodbye, Zhao Hongrun wrote a letter in his own handwriting, and then summoned several Qingya people and ordered them to send the letter to Prince Su's Mansion in Daliang. If they could meet Shen Yu, the original guard chief, they would
Give it to Shen Yu. If you can't touch it, hand it to Su Wang's guard who is staying at the palace and ask them to deliver it to Yong Wang's palace.
After all, not everyone in Prince Yong's Mansion can deliver letters casually.
However, not long after this letter was sent, Zhao Hongrun suddenly learned something from the Qingya people, as well as an invitation.
It turns out that the Anling Wang Clan had a distinguished guest today. In the name of the Zhengcheng Wang Clan, this person invited Zhao Hongrun to a banquet at the Anling Wang Clan’s house, hoping to resolve the dispute between Zhao Hongrun and the Anling Wang Clan.
of fighting.
Came so fast...
Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but cheer up. After all, he was about to face one of the few great nobles in the Wei Kingdom.
Zhengcheng Wang family!
The natal family of Queen Wang of the Kingdom of Wei! (To be continued.)
