Who would have thought that because of the "prince leaving the cabinet" issue, the Wei Emperor Zhao Yuanci and the Eighth Prince Zhao Hongrun would break up on bad terms.
Finally, Zhao Yuansi returned to Chui Gong Hall angrily.
"How unreasonable! As a son of man, you dare to disobey your biological father. How unreasonable!"
In the Chuigong Hall, the Emperor of Wei Dynasty was seen with his hands behind his back and his face full of anger.
"Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body." The great eunuch Tong Xian persuaded the emperor while secretly winking at the three ministers.
The three Zhongshu ministers looked at each other in confusion, wondering if they could interfere in the family affairs of the Tian family without permission.
But thinking about it more carefully, letting the emperor get angry might damage the liver and spleen, so Zhongshu ordered He Xiangxu to speak carefully.
"Your Majesty does not allow His Highness the Eighth Prince to leave the cabinet, do you not want His Highness to be involved in the Crown Prince's affairs?"
According to the ancestral system of the Wei Dynasty, after the prince reaches the age of fifteen, he leaves the cabinet and establishes a palace, and before he is granted the title of king, he is not eligible to compete for the crown prince. This is why the emperor of the Wei Dynasty, Zhao Yuanxi, did not place the eighth son Zhao Hongrun before.
Reasons for being included in the Crown Prince's backup list.
Of course, He Xiangxu's original intention was not to think that the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun was really not qualified to participate in the fight for the crown prince. He just said this to open up the topic, because if this topic could not be discussed, they would not be in a position to persuade the emperor to calm down.
As expected, the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty, Zhao Yuanxi, fell for the trick. He glanced at He Xiangxu and sneered: "Competing for the crown prince? If only that kid really wanted to compete for the crown prince! ... He thinks I don't know? That kid is obviously too bored in the palace and wants to
Move to live outside the palace!"
"The boss is really powerful..."
Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi looked at He Xiangxu with admiration.
He Xiangxu smiled slightly, stroking his gray beard and asked pretending to be puzzled: "Why doesn't Your Majesty allow His Highness the Eighth Prince to move out of the palace?"
"Aren't you asking questions knowingly?"
The Emperor of Wei glanced at He Xiangxu with some displeasure.
In fact, the root cause of this incident is very simple. It is simply that the Emperor of Wei gradually fell in love with Zhao Hongrun, a prince who had never been taken seriously. In view of the distant relationship between father and son in the past, he wanted to get closer to him in the future.
According to common sense, this is a great honor favored by the emperor. Normally, any prince is willing to be close to his father. After all, as long as they please the emperor of Wei, they have a greater chance of becoming a prince.
But only the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun had weird ideas. He had no intention of being a prince at all. He only wanted to have fun, so naturally he didn't care about his father's favor.
This was a little hard for the Emperor of Wei to accept. Only the princes had always deliberately wanted to get close to the Emperor. How could it be the other way around?
But after calming down and thinking about it, Zhao Yuanci sighed again, secretly blaming himself for not boasting and making the promise to Zhao Hongrun.
Now, Zhao Hongrun openly shouted out such treacherous words as "Father, the emperor does not keep his word." As the emperor of the Wei Dynasty, Zhao Yuanci could not refute, so he could only use his anger to throw away his sleeves and leave with a sullen face.
"Does this kid really disdain being close to me?"
Zhao Yuanci asked the three ministers of Zhongshu in disbelief.
"This is a good thing." He Xiangxu persuaded with a smile: "This shows that His Highness is open-minded and has neither extravagant demands nor unreasonable desires."
"That's what I say..." Zhao Yuanci frowned and asked hesitantly: "Should I agree to what the three beloved ladies want?"
"It shouldn't be!"
"Should!"
The three Zhongshu ministers said in unison, but their opinions were not unanimous.
Zhongshu Ling He Xiangxu and Zhongshu Zuocheng Lin Yuyang believed that an exception should be made to allow a nearly fourteen-year-old prince to leave the cabinet, while Zhongshu Youcheng Yu Ziqi sided with the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun.
"He Aiqing, please tell me your opinion first."
"Yes." He Xiangxu bowed his hands and said formally: "The ancestral system of the Wei Dynasty stipulates that His Highness the Prince can only leave the cabinet, establish a palace and be crowned king when he is fifteen years old."
Yu Ziqi frowned and was about to retort, but He Xiangxu suddenly changed the topic and said with a relaxed smile: "This is just for outsiders to listen to, like the geniuses like the Eighth Prince who are born with knowledge, it is an exception, so please relax a little.
It’s not a big problem. After all, during the reigns of the previous emperors, from time to time, princes came out of the cabinet and became kings before they reached the age of fifteen. The old minister was just worried that His Majesty, the Eighth Prince’s royal sapling, which would surely grow into a towering tree in the future, would not do so because of Your Majesty.
It grew crooked due to a moment of indulgence." At this point, he looked up at Zhao Yuansi and said in a very serious tone: "If this seedling grows crooked, I am afraid that your majesty will not be able to meet the previous emperors!"
Everyone in the hall fell silent after hearing this, because what He Xiangxu said was exactly what Zhao Yuanci was most worried about at the moment.
The eighth prince, Zhao Hongrun, has always been accused of being naughty, fun-loving, and unwilling to study. Fortunately, he is still in the palace, so he can't pull any tricks. But if this kid really moves out of the palace, he will really be the "Tiangao Emperor"
"Far", I don't know where he will go. I'm afraid it will be a problem for Zhao Yuanci to see him in the future.
"I also mean the same thing." Zhongshu Zuocheng Lin Yuyang bowed his hands and said: "His Eighth Highness is far-sighted and far-sighted, and his thoughts and considerations are far beyond our comparison. I have the courage to ask Your Majesty to teach you strictly so that His Highness can become the pillar of our great Wei Dynasty.
If you can do this, it will really be a great blessing for the great Wei Dynasty!... On the other hand, if you indulge it, it will be a pity!"
While Zhao Yuansi was thinking about it, Yu Ziqi, the Prime Minister of Zhongshu, did not refute the words of his two colleagues. Although he supported the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun on this matter, he believed that since the emperor made a promise, he should fulfill it. But since the Great Wei
From a social perspective, Yu Ziqi also believed that the concerns of the emperor and his two colleagues were by no means unfounded.
Which is more important, the promise of an emperor, or the cultivation of that genius prince into the keystone of the Wei Dynasty? This choice is actually not that difficult.
No, Yu Ziqi hesitated and gave up supporting Zhao Hongrun. After all, he was impressed by the various ideas proposed by Zhao Hongrun. He did not want this talented and strategic prince to destroy everyone because of his childhood playfulness and lose what he has now.
This innate aura.
But Yu Ziqi still had to say what needed to be said.
"Your Highness the Eighth Prince will not give up!"
"..." The Emperor of Wei was talking to He, and upon hearing this, Lin Yuyang turned around and glanced at Yu Ziqi.
Indeed, the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun, who is extremely intelligent, thoughtful and dares to say such treacherous words as "Father does not keep his word", will he really give up the promises he deserves because of the anger of his father Zhao Yuanci?
"Hmph! I don't believe that boy can change the world!"
The Emperor of the Wei Dynasty snorted coldly and looked back at the eunuch Tong Xian and said: "I have passed down my oral instructions and asked the clan to reduce the monthly payment of the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun by three...well, cut it by 20% as a warning!"
"yes!"
"Also, please take off his plaque of "Xiaoyao Pavilion" and restore the old name of "Wenzhao Pavilion"!"
"..." Tong Xian opened his mouth and said cautiously: "If His Highness the Eighth Prince stops him..."
"Send in the Imperial Guard!"
"yes……"
Seeing the eunuch Tong Xian hurriedly walking out of the Chui Gong Hall, the three secretaries could not help but shrink their necks. They had a vague premonition of something strange.
The war between His Majesty and the Eighth Prince may have started from this.
Just an hour later, the imperial guards in the palace followed the orders of Emperor Zhao Yuancai of the Wei Dynasty and took down the plaque of "Xiaoyao Pavilion" from the bedroom of the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun and replaced it with the original plaque of "Wenzhao Pavilion".
.
From beginning to end, the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun stood in the corridor and watched with cold eyes.
Noticing the gloomy expression of his master, Mu Qing, the confidant of the Eighth Prince Zhao Hongrun, quickly whispered: "Your Highness, don't do anything meaningless, they are the Forbidden Army..."
After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at the dark crowd in the square under the steps.
"Damn, a whole army of forbidden troops...do you want this?"
Ten sect guards surrounded His Highness in fear, fearing that His Highness, who had always been bold and bold, would actually start a fight with these forbidden troops.
Although it is not that they have never fought with the Imperial Guards in the past, the problem is that there are too many Imperial Guards coming this time, a whole song, that is, 500 Imperial Guards.
And there are only ten of them, how can they defeat others?
The ten Zongwei looked at each other in confusion, secretly wondering if this was a show of force from the Emperor of Wei.
"According to His Majesty's oral instructions, the Eighth Prince Hongrun violated the ancestral system and tampered with the name of the sleeping pavilion privately. He has no ancestors. For his first offense, he will be fined 20% of his monthly salary."
A warrior general of the Forbidden Army clasped his fist towards Hongrun.
Zhao Hongrun raised his head and glanced at the plaque of "Wenzhao Pavilion", and then turned his attention to the five hundred forbidden troops in the open space under the steps.
"Your Majesty the Eighth Prince, I will take my leave now."
After replacing the plaque, the Imperial Guards general quickly left and said goodbye. Who didn't know that the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun was notorious for his misdeeds in the palace. Although this was the intention of the Emperor of Wei, if he was resented by His Highness for this,
Will there be any good fruit to eat in the future?
Looking coldly at the rapid retreat of the five hundred forbidden troops, Zhao Hongrun raised his head and glanced at the plaque of "Wenzhao Pavilion" again, and walked into the hall without saying a word.
The ten sect guards, look at me and I look at you, followed His Highness the Eighth Prince into the palace with their heads hanging down.
The main hall of Wenzhao Pavilion is a hall used for entertaining guests. It imitates the kneeling ceremony of ancient people. Therefore, it only has tables and tables for entertaining guests, without tables and chairs.
Zhao Hongrun sat on the master's seat without saying a word, his eyes sweeping over the ten clan guards who were kneeling before his case.
"Mu Qing, Shen Yu, Wei Jiao, Chu Heng, Gao Kuo, Zhong Zhao, Lu Mu, Zhu Gui, He Miao, Zhou Pu..."
Zhao Hongrun read the names of the ten clan guards one by one.
These ten people are not ordinary guards, they are personal guards sent by the clan to Zhao Hongrun.
These people were all born into good-blooded military families in the Wei Dynasty. They were adopted by the clan because they were lonely and poor since childhood. They were taught martial arts since they were young, and when they grew up, they were sent to serve as personal guards for the princes.
Although he has the status of a guard, he can actually be regarded as the retainer and confidant of the princes. From then on, he and the prince he serves will both prosper and suffer, and there will never be betrayal. And if the prince he serves one day ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, then this
The group of people will also rise, and they will surely become a general with a heavy army.
This is the ancestral system of the Wei Dynasty.
"I'm waiting!"
The ten sect guards raised their armor and knelt on the ground, staring at their highness.
I saw Zhao Hongrun uttering a sentence expressionlessly.
