Chapter 1300: End of May
Two days later, Zhao Hongrun received a reply from his cousin Wei Gongziyu, and after reading the whole story, he couldn't help but sigh. Reading at zero o'clock.
Because between the lines of the reply, Wei Gongziyu was very uncalm, and fiercely criticized the behavior of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, Sun Mou, the Marquis of Humu, and the Hou of Yuanling, as if he wanted to rush to Daliang and bring this matter to Wei Tianzi, and Zhao Hongrun frowned frequently.
In fact, from the perspective of relatives, no, it should be said that if objectively speaking, Zhao Hongrun must be on the side of his cousin Wei Yu, after all, the behavior of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and the Hou Sun Mu of Humu, and the Hou of Yuanling, Uncle Yu and others, he is also very unaccustomed to it.
But the problem is that for the sake of Wei's reputation and interests, it is absolutely impossible for Wei to admit that "Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, deliberately harmed the allies", including Zhao Hongrun, but anyone who knows the inside story will be silent about this matter.
After all, if this matter spreads, the negative impact on Wei will be too great, and who will dare to form an alliance with Wei in the future?
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun's original idea was that if his cousin Wei Yu was willing to "go private", then he would come forward to help this cousin and help Wei Guo get some subsidies, but it can be seen from Wei Yu's reply that this cousin does not accept "private" and must give an explanation from Wei Guo.
This makes it difficult for Zhao Hongrun to meddle in this matter - he can suppress Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and support Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, in the temple, because this is nothing more than a matter of the left pocket and the right pocket for the entire Wei State; But Wei Gongziyu asked Wei to severely punish Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Zhao Hongrun could not interfere in this matter.
Punish one of his most meritorious courtiers for the sake of another country? It doesn't make sense, does it?
Although in terms of kinship, cousin Wei Yu is obviously closer, in the final analysis, this cousin is Wei Ren after all; And no matter how disgusted Zhao Hongrun was with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, he could not deny that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was a Wei man, and this person made great contributions to the Wei state.
"Hey, it seems that this cousin is destined to be a proton for a while soon......
Zhao Hongrun secretly shook his head and sighed.
Now, he has no choice but to think that after the cousin goes to Daliang as a proton in the future, he will invite him to Suwang's Mansion and persuade him well, hoping that the latter can accept the "private solution".
Perhaps this is exactly what Wei Gongziyu said, "the arrogance of a great power".
Shaking his head, Zhao Hongrun put aside his cousin Wei Yu's letter and continued to copy the invitation to get married.
After two full days of copying, Zhao Hongrun was certainly so tired that his arms were sore, but on the other hand, the VIP invitations that required him to write the invitations by himself were also sent out in a fiefdom.
After the last invitation was written, he stretched his arms and stretched his waist, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Finally...... Finished written. ”
Looking at his appearance, not to mention that the guards laughed, even the finches showed a few smiles in their eyes.
After finishing the only task of writing invitations, Zhao Hongrun held a cup of tea, while enjoying the service of pinching the shoulders of the finch, while retaliating against the Zongwei for making fun of him two days ago.
On the afternoon of May 23, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, led the Yan princess Sun and two concubines, as well as his three sons and a daughter, and the Qi family came to visit Zhao Hongrun.
At that time, Zhao Hongrun guessed: This Wang brother was afraid that he was going to leave Daliang and go to Shanyang.
Sure enough, when the brothers were in Zhao Hongrun's study, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, really mentioned the matter and solemnly bid farewell to Zhao Hongrun.
For this upright and bold brother Wang, Zhao Hongrun was also quite reluctant, and said: "Fourth brother, why don't you live in Daliang for a few more days?" ”
Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, shook his head and said, "I have been away from Shanyang for a long time, and I miss my brother a lot. The imperial court has agreed to allocate funds for me to rebuild the "Shanyang Army" and the "Southern Yan Army......" Speaking of this, he paused, lowered his voice and said: "Rebuild the Shanyang Army and the Southern Yan Army as soon as possible, those generals under the King of Southern Liang, it is better to get out of Hanoi County as soon as possible!" ”
Zhao Hongrun shook his head with a smile, then looked at Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, and said, "Fourth brother, the younger brother doesn't have any spare money in his hands recently, so he can't help much......"
It stands to reason that Zhao Hongrun has a good relationship with Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, and now the latter is ready to return to Shanyang to rebuild the Shanyang Army and the Southern Yan Army.
After all, the cost of rebuilding two armies from scratch can be imagined, and relying solely on the appropriation of the imperial court is simply not enough - after all, because of that war, the finances of the imperial household department are also extremely tight.
If he waited for another two months, after Zhao Hongrun sold the shops in Bolangshahe Port, he would be able to lend a sum of money to the brother in front of him.
But the question is, after waiting for two months, will Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, who controls the two "Wei Han border cities" in Moyi and Qi County, still be short of money?
And after hearing Zhao Hongrun's words, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, hurriedly said: "Hongrun, you have been busy for a lot of brothers. ”
To be honest, he came here just to say goodbye to this eighth brother, but he didn't mean to borrow money at all.
After all, the court and the central government all understand, don't look at the power of King Su Zhao Hongrun, but this Royal Highness not only has no spare money in his hands, but also owes a lot of debts to the household.
It may be that seeing Zhao Hongrun's embarrassed face, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, deliberately said with a straight face: "Hongrun, if you are like this, you can't stay for your brother......"
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun thought for a while, and said: "Since this is the case, I will give the fourth brother a word, and it should be used as a gift for the fourth brother." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, couldn't help but light up his eyes, and said yes in a loud voice.
As far as he knows, the eighth brother in front of him is also a good handwriter, although it is not as good as the "one word and a thousand gold" Rui Wang Zhao Hongzhao, but in the market of Daliang, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun's ink treasure is also priceless, I don't know how many people want to collect this ink treasure of His Royal Highness Su Wang, but the search has not been successful.
It's no wonder, after all, with the status of Su King Zhao Hongrun today, it is too cheap and embarrassing to put the calligraphy and paintings he wrote on the market to sell.
So when Zhao Hongrun spread out the paper, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, excitedly grinded for the eighth brother.
I saw Zhao Hongrun pick up the pen and think for a while, and then waved the pen on the paper without adding to it, the stroke and stroke seemed to be scribbled, but it seemed to be an iron painting silver hook, like a shocking dragon, from the overall situation, as if there was a faint momentum of sweeping thousands of troops, calm and happy.
"The body is dead, and he is buried in Shanyang. The mountains are majestic, and the sky is vast. There are trees in the mountains, and there are mourning in the country. The soul returns, in order to see the rivers and mountains.
After his death, he was buried in Dachuan. Life is small, and death is also small. What is happy and what is hurt. The soul returns, don't love a foreign land.
The body is gone, and he is buried in Nanzhan. The wind is sober, and the water is sluggish. The heavens are the beds, and the earth is the beds. The soul returns, in order to see the family state.
The body is destroyed, and it is buried in all directions. Spring is also green, autumn is also yellow. The sword is hidden. The soul returns, and the relatives are forever guarded. ”
"Note: The author is unknown, but it is rumored to be Li Siye, a general of the Tang Dynasty, recommended by the book friend "Attack on Melon Seeds" in the book review area."
At the same time as Zhao Hongrun waved his pen, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, whispered beside him, the more he read a pair of eyes, the brighter he became, as if there was a thousand miles of pride in his chest that could not be vented, which made him excited and difficult to himself.
In the end, Zhao Hongrun wrote his name at the signing place: Suwang Zhao Run!
Seeing Zhao Hongrun casually throw away the brush in his hand after writing the payment, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, couldn't wait to squeeze the eighth brother aside, and watched the poem with a moving face.
Because this is not only a practical gift given to him by Zhao Hongrun, but also like a praise for those who died in the Northern Xinjiang and Shanyang, the brave warriors of the Shanyang Army and the Southern Yan Army.
"Good! Good! Good! After carefully looking at it many times, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, shouted three times and decided to frame this character and hang it in the main hall of his Yanwang Mansion in Shanyang, so that more Shanyang soldiers and Nanyan soldiers could see this character.
"Hongrun, thank you!"
Turning to face Zhao Hongrun, Yan King Zhao Hongjiang solemnly clenched his fists and thanked him.
Because in his mind, the value of this poem and this character to the Shanyang Army and the Nanyan Army is far greater than ten thousand gold!
Zhao Hongrun smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Fourth brother, don't dislike my poor writing." ”
"Is this still bad?" Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, said with a smile: "Seeing this character, I seem to feel the momentum of thousands of troops and horses, and I am coming with a murderous aura, tsk!" It is worthy of being the "King of Su" who defeated Han Chu! With that, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to the words on the desk again, how happy he was.
Subsequently, the brothers chatted for a while, and after making a promise that "when Hongrun gets married, his brother will come to congratulate him", Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, happily hugged this character and left with his wife and children and two Zongwei.
During this period, he held the painting from beginning to end, without fake hands, for fear of damage.
After all, this painting was not only given to him, but also a priceless treasure given to the Shanyang Army and the Southern Yan Army.
The next day, when the subjects of Daliang were still talking about the affairs of Song County, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, with his wife, children and Zongwei, left Daliang in a low-key manner and went to Shanyang in northern Xinjiang.
After learning the news, Zhao Hongrun, who was originally ready to send him off in person, couldn't help but be stunned: just leave, neatly and without ink, this is really his fourth brother's style.
Two days later, on May 25, the Vertical Arch Hall officially announced its decision on the Song Land.
As Zhao Hongrun guessed, Song Yun, the leader of the Song rebel army who "didn't know how to do it" and refused to be recruited by the imperial court a few days ago, and the "Northern Army" under his command were indeed officially recognized as "anti-thieves" by the Vertical Arch Palace.
And Song Yun's previous act of volunteering to help the Wei army in the war was also deliberately misinterpreted as "wanting to take the opportunity to replace Nangong Yao".
In this regard, Zhao Hongrun could only sigh secretly.
When he learned the real reason for Song Yun's refusal to recruit the imperial court from Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he respected Song Yun, the leader of the rebel army who was loyal to the Song State.
But respect is respect, and some things in the world are so helpless.
For the sake of the interests of the Wei State, even if Zhao Hongrun respected Song Yun again, he would not come forward to stop this decision of the imperial court.
Because he is a native of Wei and the son of Wei.
The first thing he had to consider was the overall interests of Wei.
