Chapter 310: The Exiled Prince (2)
"PS: In view of the fact that some book friends wonder about the ownership of "Sanchuan County", I would like to explain: Sanchuan County is the territory of Wei, but Sanchuan is an extremely vast land, and Sanchuan County of Wei only occupies a small part of the land of Sanchuan, just like the two lands of Shangdang and Yingshui, not all of them are in the hands of Wei.
Ps again: Anyway, my father-in-law came the day before yesterday and stayed for two days, huh...... It's a lot of pressure.'"
"King of Southern Liang? The father issued an edict to recall the king of Southern Liang? ”
When he learned the news from the Vertical Arch Hall from Zong Wei Gao Kuo, Zhao Hongrun was really a little confused.
You know, he was just curious about what his father would do with the incident in Longxi, whether he would stand by or give support, so he asked Gao Kuo and the others to pay attention to the news from the side of the Vertical Arch Palace.
Unexpectedly, there was a news from the Vertical Arch Hall that had nothing to do with Longxi.
"Has the sixth uncle heard of the King of Nanliang?"
Zhao Hongrun turned his head and asked Zhao Yuanlian, the uncle of the sixth king, after all, the title of "King of Southern Liang" was really unfamiliar to him, and he had no impression.
But when he turned around, he found that Zhao Yuanyan was thinking about something, and he seemed a little distracted.
"Sixth uncle? Sixth uncle? ”
"Huh?" Zhao Yuanyan, who was awakened by Zhao Hongrun, showed a trance like waking up from a dream, until Zhao Hongrun repeated the question, he corrected with a light smile: "King Nanliang, it's not a separate family, that's your third uncle." ”
"Third uncle?" Zhao Hongrun showed a strange expression when he heard this.
"Hmm." Zhao Yuanli nodded, and said, "Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang...... That's an incredible character. ”
"I've never heard of it......" Zhao Hongrun frowned, although he meditated hard and tried to search for the deeds of the third uncle from his memory, but the strange thing was that there were things about the third uncle in his memory, like a blank piece of paper.
glanced at Zhao Hongrun's strange expression. Zhao Yuanyan shook his head and explained with a little emotion: "You haven't heard of it, it's not strange for you." In fact, before you were born, your third uncle had been exiled to a barren land on the border for a full seventeen years...... You're only fifteen years old. How do you know? ”
"Exile?" Zhao Hongrun keenly grasped the word and looked at the sixth uncle in front of him suspiciously.
Zhao Yuanli thought for a while, and explained vaguely and vaguely: "Your third uncle used to be on your uncle's side...... Uncle Six said so, do you understand? ”
"Oh, ......," Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized.
Obviously, Zhao Hongrun's uncle must be the opponent who once competed with his father for the throne, and with his father's ascension to the throne, Zhao Hongrun and his uncle's branch. The end can be imagined.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun suddenly had a question in his heart, and asked curiously: "Is the uncle alive?" ”
"......" Zhao Yuanyan glanced at him with a smile.
Then, Zhao Hongrun understood.
He actually wanted to ask how many of his father's uncles were left after the battle for the throne, after all, this matter. The palace and the palace, the court and the opposition are very strict, so that Zhao Hongrun still doesn't know how many brothers his father and emperor have.
Even. If it weren't for the Sixth Uncle in front of him to speak, he wouldn't even know that his father was ranked fourth among his brothers.
Maybe these things belong to the taboo in the royal family, I believe that no one dares to talk about this matter wantonly, which makes Wei Tianzi feel unhappy.
After all, it is a tradition of the royal family to cause brothers to fight for the throne. But after all, it's not a glorious thing.
"But Sixth Uncle, what did my father do when he recalled the third uncle back to Daliang at this time? Could it be that he can solve Longxi's problems? Zhao Hongrun asked curiously.
"Whether Yuan Zuo can solve the matter of Longxi, the sixth uncle doesn't know, but it's ......"
"But what?"
In Zhao Hongrun's incomprehensible gaze, Zhao Yuanyan showed a slightly complicated look on his face. Immediately, he smiled playfully, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that the imperial brother would actually recall this person back to Daliang...... It seems that most of the trip to Longxi was delivered to my third brother. ”
"A trip to Longxi?"
Of course, Zhao Hongrun knew how dangerous it was to go to Longxi to support the Ji Wei clan, and if nothing else, he would negotiate with at least three foreign tribes in the northwest, the Yin Rong, the Qin people, and the Qiang people, and once they could not persuade the other party through diplomatic means, then war would inevitably break out.
It's no joke to go deep into the territory controlled by the other side and go to war with their local masters.
However, Zhao Hongrun looked at the expression of his sixth uncle Zhao Yuanyan, as if the third uncle was capable enough to deal with this matter, which even he felt was tricky.
may have noticed Zhao Hongrun's strange expression, Zhao Yuanyan smiled and teased: "Hongrun, do you ever think that an uncle of the sixth uncle's generation is very unbearable?" So much so that when the state of Chu came to attack, there was no one in charge of the overall situation in the DPRK? ”
Zhao Hongrun looked at Zhao Yuanyan puzzled, and said suspiciously: "Sixth uncle, don't frame me, I never thought about it like this." ”
"Whether you have thought about it or not......" Zhao Yuanyan reached out and rubbed Zhao Hongrun's hair, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "In fact, if your third uncle was in the court at that time, I am afraid it would not be your turn to repel the Chu army and raise the prestige of the king of Su." ”
"Huh?" Zhao Hongrun's face was stunned, and he asked in surprise: "Is it very powerful, that third uncle?"
"Awesome?" A gleam flashed in Zhao Yuanling's eyes, and he muttered, "That's what your father is most afraid of......"
"Father? Fear?'
Zhao Hongrun was a little unacceptable, he said in his heart: It seems that the old and cunning father and emperor have people who are so jealous and secretive?
"Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Southern Liang......
Zhao Hongrun silently recited this name in his heart and kept it in his heart.
"Sixth uncle, isn't my third uncle the most outstanding of your brothers? Just like the six emperor brothers of my generation? ”
Zhao Yuanyan smiled slightly when he heard this, shook his head and said, "That's not it, there is still one person who can compete with your third uncle...... It is with his strong support that your father can ascend to the throne of my Great Wei monarch. ”
"Who is it?" Zhao Hongrun asked curiously with wide eyes.
"Your fifth uncle."
"Fifth uncle?"
Zhao Hongrun tilted his head, and the expression on his face became more and more strange.
Because of the mention of the "fifth uncle", he remembered the figure of a man with a white and thin face who always coughed violently at every turn.
That is Zhao Hongrun's fifth uncle, Zhao Yuantong, an extremely weak uncle Wang who seems to have tuberculosis.
"Fifth uncle? No way? I remember that Uncle Fifth has always been in poor health......"
If Zhao Hongrun is not mistaken. Where should this fifth uncle recuperate, he was lucky enough to see him in Daliang once every few years.
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanli laughed, immediately shook his head, and said: "Your fifth uncle was injured by an arrow in the battle with the three uncles and two armies, otherwise." How could it be what you saw? ”
Speaking of this, he rubbed Zhao Hongrun's hair again and teased: "Don't underestimate your uncles in the sixth uncle's generation...... You little cubs are far from your uncles! ”
"Really?"
Zhao Hongrun looked at Zhao Yuanyan suspiciously, and immediately wondered: "Anyway, since the sixth uncle is here, why should this matter be handed over to the third uncle?" ”
"Huh?" Zhao Yuanli probably didn't expect Zhao Hongrun to say such a thing, and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?" ”
"The news from Longxi was sent back to Daliang by the sixth uncle. Moreover, the sixth uncle is more familiar with the situation in Longxi, Qinling, Sanchuan and other places, why does his father want to go far and near? ”
"You kid!" Zhao Yuanyan pressed Zhao Hongrun's head with the palm of his hand, and said angrily: "Your sixth uncle and I have just returned to Daliang, and you haven't had a good rest, can't you wait to drive the sixth uncle away?" ”
"That's what I mean...... Zhao Hongrun hurriedly explained.
In fact, Zhao Yuanyan just made a joke with Zhao Hongrun, without waiting for him to explain. He smiled and said, "You also know the character of the sixth uncle, like such a big thing. Whether it's your father or the ministers of the court, don't you feel at ease to hand it over to the sixth uncle? ”
"That's because they don't understand the talent of the sixth uncle." Zhao Hongrun said with some dissatisfaction when he heard this: "I have a feeling early on that if the sixth uncle is serious, he will be much more powerful than his father and second uncle. ”
"......" Zhao Yuanyan was stunned when he heard this, and stared at Zhao Hongrun for a moment. Immediately rubbed his head and laughed: "Okay, good, it's not in vain that Uncle Sixth loved you so much in the past." ”
Listening to the perfunctory tone, Zhao Hongrun shouted a little angrily: "I'm not joking! ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Yuanli nodded again and again, and then patted Zhao Hongrun on the back and said, "Quick, while your father is now troubled by this matter." I don't have time to take care of your business, so I hurried to the Vertical Arch Hall and bowed my head and apologized to your father. ”
"Are you really going?" Zhao Hongrun shouted reluctantly.
"Didn't Uncle Sixth teach you since you were a child? If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. Sometimes you have to learn to endure in order to achieve your goals...... Don't think that your father is unscrupulous now, in fact, people who are pampered and arrogant often don't end well. Looking at Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Yuanli earnestly taught: "Remember, only kings have the qualifications to be 'willful'. This "willfulness" is reflected in the fact that when he is happy, he will play with you; And when he's upset, he flips the table...... You don't have the qualifications and strength to stare at your father, you know? ”
"......" Zhao Hongrun looked deeply at the sixth uncle in front of him and nodded slowly.
"Go ahead! …… The big husband can bend and stretch, not to mention just bowing his head to his own son, there is nothing to be awkward. ”
“…… Well! ”
Nodding, Zhao Hongrun turned around and walked outside the house.
Looking at his departing back, Zhao Yuanling smiled and shook his head, and in an instant, a little elusive look appeared on his face.
"Get serious...... Is it? Hum! ”
With a faint smile, he snorted lightly, shook his head, and turned around and walked towards the west garden in the mansion.
At the same time, Zhao Hongrun took several Zongwei to the palace.
As Zhao Yuanlian, the sixth prince's uncle, guessed, Wei Tianzi, who was disturbed by the Longxi incident, was really not thinking about Zhao Hongrun and Miss Su at this time.
Therefore, he was very surprised that Zhao Hongrun took the initiative to bow his head and admit his mistake, and his kind words comforted his son, as if he had long forgotten the quarrel with his son yesterday.
Even, when Zhao Hongrun said the words "everything is up to the father", Wei Tianzi reassured him with kind words, and implied his son vaguely, saying that he was just worried that Miss Su would affect Zhao Hongrun's judgment, and if Zhao Hongrun could grasp it himself, he could turn a blind eye to it.
As for the selection of Princess Su, Wei Tianzi also said frankly that it was not in a hurry to let Zhao Hongrun slowly choose among those famous families in Daliang and even the whole country.
I have to say that this can be regarded as Wei Tianzi's concession in disguise.
This made the boulder hanging in Zhao Hongrun's heart finally land.
It was as if everything around us had returned to its original state, and nothing had changed. (To be continued.) )
