At the beginning of September, the Korean general stationed in Hexi, Taiyuan Shou Lian Ti, was replaced by the deputy general "Le Cheng", who stole the position of Lian Ti Taiyuan, tore up the "Wei-Han Handan Agreement", and took the lead in attacking Wei's Fenyin County. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, the Wei general stationed in Fenyin, Lintao Jun Wei Ji, somehow learned about the sneak attack of the Han general Le Cheng, led the newly trained "Fenyin Army" to desperately defend the Fenyin Jin (ferry), blocking Le Cheng's more than 20,000 Han troops in Hexi.

The good times did not last long, two days later, the "Han Yang Yi Marquis Han Xu", who had blocked the army under the command of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Liang in southern Wei, in Taiyuan Maling, marched out of the "Lishi" city, crossed Hukou Mountain, and approached the "Beiqu" city of Wei State.

The newly appointed Beiqu commander "Huo Wei" and Beiqu Wei "Dou Xuan", on the one hand, led the newly established Beiqu army to resist, and on the other hand, urgently asked for help from the two cities of "Linfen" and "Anyi", which were stationed in the two most powerful Wei armies in the entire Hedong County, the Northern First Army under the command of Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, and the Northern Third Army under the command of General Jiang Wei.

However, Huan King Zhao Hongxuan is not currently in Anyi, and the general who commands the Northern First Army is Zhang Biao, the deputy general of the Northern First Army.

After a short meeting, Zhang Biao and Jiang Wei reached a tacit understanding: the Northern First Army went to support Fenyin, and the Northern Third Army went north to support Beiqu.

At the same time, on the side of Handan County, South Korea, Han General, Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, and Han generals such as "Jin Di", "Sima Shang", and "Feng Ting" went out of Yecheng and took Qiguan directly.

This news made the Korean merchants in the border cities of Qi County and Moyi also shocked, and immediately ended the transaction with the Wei people, and fled with the goods as much as possible in the bursts of curses against the people in power in Handan.

After learning the news, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan in Shanyang County, scolded South Korea for "treachery", and immediately led 30,000 Shanyang troops to Qiguan.

On the sixth day of September, the urgent news of "South Korea tearing up the agreement" reached Daliang, the capital of the Wei king.

Suddenly, the Liang government and the opposition were full of anger and scolded the Koreans for not believing their words.

"Xiao Luan really colluded with South Korean ......"

After learning the news of the war situation in northern Xinjiang, Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, had a gloomy face.

In fact, it is not only Jie Zilu who is a clear-eyed person, two months ago, after the Zhongyang Rebellion and the Great Liang Rebellion, the remnants of the Xiao family launched rebellions in various places in the Wei State, which seemed to be like a grasshopper shaking the tree, ridiculously trying to shake the foundation of the Wei State with that little bit of meager strength, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the series of rebellions of the Xiao clan remnants is just a foreshadowing before the "real crisis".

"South Korea is an unrighteous army, and I, Great Wei, should inform the world of the Handan Agreement and condemn the treacherous behavior of the Koreans."

Li Cheng, the president of the Three Guards Army who was summoned, said solemnly.

Hearing this, Wei Tianzi shook his head with a smile, and said lightly: "What about condemnation? If this matter is really Xiao Luan's long-planned trick, then it is definitely not only South Korea that sent troops to crusade against our Great Wei......"

Zhao Yuanxi knew very well: this time South Korea did not hesitate to bear the stigma of treachery and resolutely tore up the agreement to attack him Wei, which means that this is a national war with the ultimate goal of "destroying Wei".

If he Wei can't survive this national war in the end, then what's the point of a painless condemnation?

Victory is justice!

As long as the war is won, the Koreans have the means and time to cover up the truth and deceive the world.

Just as Wei Tianzi was talking with Li Cheng, a middle-aged eunuch hurriedly came to the Ganlu Hall and said a few words to the great eunuch Tong Xian, only to hear Tong Xian's face change.

"You stand down first."

After dismissing the eunuch, Tong Xian turned to face Wei Tianzi and said in a heavy voice: "Your Majesty, the inner eunuch has just received the news from the 'Green Crow Qi Chu Branch'...... Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, appointed Shouling Jun Jingshe as the commander, and the general Xiang Mo and Diyang Jun Xiong Shang as the deputy generals, raised hundreds of thousands of troops, known as millions, and attacked Song County. ”

"......" Wei Tianzi's eyelids jumped a few times uncontrollably, and he reluctantly smiled: "Hehehe, it seems that the civil strife in Chu has been pacified......"

However, Li Cheng, the leader of the Three Guards, couldn't laugh.

At the same time with the two powerful countries of Korea and Chu? You know, even if it is any of them, it is a strong enemy for Wei.

However, Xiao Luan's feast for Wei was much more than that.

Three days later, the Sichuan-Yu Alliance sent a message that the Wuxu tribe had gathered the Qian tribe and the Ling-tribe to attack "Henan" - after the Yi tribe defected to the Sichuan-Yu tribe, the current patriarch of the Yi tribe, "Erdemo", moved the entire tribe from "Huayin" to "Henan".

If there was only the rebellion of the Wuxu royal court and the two major tribes of Qian and Ling, the powerful Sichuan Alliance would not be like a great enemy, and what really made the Sichuan Alliance jealous was the resurgent Qin army - the Qin State, which had been slaughtered by Wei Gongzi Ji Run with 200,000 troops two years ago, organized an army again in an attempt to avenge the blood debt of the year.

On September 11, the situation worsened, and the de facto ruler of Song County, Nangong Yao, the former general of the Song Kingdom, faced the army of one million led by King Jingshe of Chu Shouling, instead of resisting, he took the opportunity to raise the banner to rebel, and openly rebelled under the banner of "restoring the Song royal family".

When he heard this series of bad news, Wei Tianzi was able to pretend to be calm at first, but when he learned that after Han and Chu, Nangong Yao of Qin and Song also joined the camp hostile to his Wei State, he could no longer control the uneasiness and anger in his heart, and his eyes were dark, and he actually fainted in the Manna Palace.

Suddenly, the palace was in chaos, and the imperial doctors in the palace rushed to the Ganlu Hall to treat Wei Tianzi.

After some diagnosis, the imperial doctors told Li Cheng that Wei Tianzi fainted mainly because of his long-term exhaustion and his anger this time.

In this regard, Li Cheng did not dare to be careless, after all, throughout the ages, anger and attack the heart is often the main reason for "violent death", this kind of disease caused by a major psychological blow is almost difficult to cure by taking medicine, and can only be improved by long-term conditioning, otherwise, how can there be left with the saying "heart disease still needs heart medicine"?

After being in a coma for half a day, Wei Tianzi woke up faintly and saw the big eunuch Tong Xian with a worried face next to the bed, and Li Cheng, the leader of the Three Guards.

"I can't fall yet, if I fall down at this moment, my Great Wei will be finished......"

As if muttering to himself, under the best efforts of Tong Xian and Li Cheng to stop him, Wei Tianzi struggled to sit up on the bed, panting and said: "Li Cheng, seal off the palace, there is something about me fainting today, and you must not disclose it......"

Hearing this, Li Cheng clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers have sealed off the palace and warned those imperial doctors not to leak ......"

"Hmm." Wei Tianzi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "In extraordinary times, you should use heavy codes...... You command to go down, and if anyone in the palace dares to talk about my illness, kill him! ”

"Yes!" Li Cheng clenched his fists and left.

Glancing at the back of Li Cheng's departure, Wei Tianzi instructed the great eunuch Tong Xian again: "Tong Xian, send someone to summon the King of Southern Liang, Shaohu, and my son Hongrun." ”

"Yes!" Tong Xian immediately summoned several young eunuchs and instructed them to summon Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, the general Shaohu, and Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

At the same time, in the clan prison of the Zongfu, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, under the guidance of his cousin Zhao Hongmin, met Zhao Yuanlian, the uncle of the six kings in the prison.

In view of the fact that King Yi Zhao Yuanyan made an act of forcing the palace in the Zhongyang Palace, his position as the sect commander has been removed by Wei Tianzi, and the authority of the sect has returned to the hands of Zongzheng Zhao Yuanyan again.

Of course, this is not the most fundamental reason why Yiwang Zhao Yuanli is trapped in the prison of the clan, in fact, it was Yiwang Zhao Yuanyan who took the initiative to ask to be imprisoned here.

"Do you want Brother Fool to prepare some drinks and dishes?" After leading Zhao Hongrun to the prison where Zhao Yuanyan was being held, Zhao Hongrun's cousin Zhao Hongmin asked in a low voice.

"No need, thank you, cousin." Zhao Hongrun shook his head and thanked him.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongmin nodded and said, "Since this is the case, the foolish brother will not disturb you, if you need anything, you can send someone to inform me." ”

With that, Zhao Hongmin turned around and left.

Seeing Zhao Hongmin leave the prison, Zhao Hongrun set his eyes on Zhao Yuanlian, the king of Yi in the prison.

The prison of Zongfu is specially used to imprison the children of the Ji Zhao family who have committed a big crime, therefore, the prison here will naturally not be as simple as the prison of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, just like the prison where King Yi Zhao Yuanli is at the moment, with blue brick floors, bamboo mats, bookcases, desks, beds, candlesticks, everything that should be complete, if it is not for the iron railing, otherwise, it is like an exquisite study.

"Sixth uncle, I heard that you want to see me?"

Opening the iron prison door, Zhao Hongrun stepped in, and he found that his sixth uncle was sitting behind the desk, concentrating on drawing a portrait.

The beautiful woman in the painting, Zhao Hongrun doesn't have to guess who it is - it is undoubtedly the woman that Uncle Liuwang has never forgotten, the daughter of Xiao Boyuan, Marquis of Nanyan, Xiao Ning.

After a while, Zhao Yuanyan put down the pen in his hand, and after studying the portrait for a while, he looked up at Zhao Hongrun and asked, "Hongrun, how is Yulong's current situation?" ”

Zhao Hongrun exhaled slightly and said, "That incident, a blow to her...... For the time being, I will let Miss Su and Yang Yu Xing accompany her, and it will be fine slowly. ”

When he said this, Zhao Hongrun felt very sorry for Princess Yulong in his heart: his biological mother was killed by his biological father by mistake, and his biological father killed her maternal grandfather, and her younger brother did not know life and death, and her maternal uncle became the biggest evil party in Wei State.

Zhao Yuanyan sighed faintly and said, "I didn't want you juniors to get involved in this matter...... I'm sorry, Hongrun, I'm not what you think I am, not worthy of the person you want......"

"Sixth uncle?" Zhao Hongrun's eyes flashed a little unbearable, and he persuaded: "Sixth uncle, you were just deceived by Xiao Luan......

"You don't have to exonerate me." Zhao Yuanyan shook his head and interrupted Zhao Hongrun's words, and said bitterly: "In the final analysis, I have pushed Dawei into the fire pit from which it will never recover......"

"Sixth Uncle, what are you talking about?" Zhao Hongrun's eyes moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Those are all in the past, aren't they?" ”

Yiwang Zhao Yuanyan glanced up at Zhao Hongrun, shook his head and said, "Hongrun, you don't have to hide it from me, even if I am here, I can still know what is going on outside...... Han, Chu, Qin, Sichuan, Song, hehehe, the five sides raised troops to jointly crusade against our Great Wei, what a big scene......"

By the end, his laughter had been mixed with a little choking.

"Sixth Uncle ......" Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth, his face changed slightly, and he was smart, he had already vaguely guessed the reason why this Sixth Uncle asked to see him this time.

I saw a disapproving look on his face, and said with a smile: "Heh, speaking of this, that Xiao Luan is really a little capable, and he can actually incite these five parties to unite against my Great Wei...... However, doesn't he know that no matter Han, Chu, Qin, or Chuan, they are all defeated by my subordinates? Even if there is another Nangong Yao this time, what can I do to my Great Wei? Sixth uncle, you can rest assured, with me Zhao Hongrun here, he is destined not to succeed! ”

Looking at his arrogant nephew, Yiwang Zhao Yuanling smiled as if pleased, he nodded and said, "Okay, good, in this way, I will be relieved......"

Hearing the meaning of Zhao Yuanyan's words, Zhao Hongrun's face changed slightly, and he smiled and said: "Sixth uncle, you wait for me, wait for me to break through the enemy army of the Five Roads to attack Wei and capture Xiao Luan alive, and then ......."

Speaking of this, his voice stopped abruptly, because he couldn't pretend anymore, and he had already guessed that the sixth uncle in front of him had already made up his mind to apologize with death.

Enduring the grief in his heart, he pleaded: "Sixth uncle, don't, things still have a turn for the better......

Hearing this, King Yi Zhao Yuanyan sighed faintly, shook his head and said: "That day in the Zhongyang Palace, I made a move to force the palace in front of everyone, which is equivalent to plotting rebellion...... You know, Hongrun, my Ji Zhao clan ancestral system, those who plot rebellion and troublemakers, will be punished! No matter who you are, no matter what your status, once you are involved in rebellion, there is absolutely no possibility of pardon. …… If I don't die today, it will be difficult for the law of the country to convince the people, or if someone imitates what I do today, then there will never be a day of peace for my Great Wei. This precedent cannot be opened! ”

Zhao Hongrun said hurriedly when he heard this: "But Sixth Uncle, you are not plotting rebellion, you are just ......."

"Say no more, Hongrun." Interrupting Zhao Hongrun's words, Zhao Yuanyan said in a low voice: "Hongrun, there is one thing, I have never told you, you once said that Sixth Uncle I live freely, spending all day drinking, drunk and dreaming of death, red and leaning on the cui, dogs and horses, as if a man should live like me, so now I tell you, over the years, I have lived a mess, and I have never felt happy at all...... I'll tell you again that when I first came into contact with you, we were in love, and I said it was because you were like me, but in fact it was not. ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth and didn't say a word.

Glancing at Zhao Hongrun's expression, a trace of guilt flashed in Zhao Yuanling's eyes, and continued: "Over the years, over the years, it is not only Xiao Luan who is looking for the baby boy, I am also looking for it. After all, Yulong and the baby boy are her children. …… At that time, as far as I know, not long after the baby boy was in the hands of Xiao Boyuan, the Marquis of Nanyan, Xiao Boyuan, Xiao Luan and his son came to Daliang with the heads of Zhao Yuanling and his son, and the baby boy was entrusted by Xiao Boyuan to the clansmen of the Xiao clan of Nanyan at that time. Later, after the Junshui army attacked Nanyan, the baby boy fell into the hands of Wei Mu...... Wei Mu would not dare to kill the baby boy, so there is a high chance that the baby boy will fall into the hands of your father. …… At first, I suspected that it might be you, because you were not treated well by the Four Princes at that time, just like Yulong. Later, I found out that your age is not the same as Yulong's, and your biological mother is Wei Ji...... But it is undeniable that when I approached you at the beginning, my original intention was not pure. ”

Zhao Hongrun was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "I see, in fact, I have always felt strange, as the sixth uncle, why would he value an unpopular nephew so much......" Saying, he took a long breath, looked at Zhao Yuanli and said: "But even so, it still can't change a fact." Uncle Six, you are the best person for me since I was a child. ”

Looking at Zhao Hongrun's sincere gaze, Zhao Yuanyan couldn't help but be moved, and after half a ring, he hid the excitement in his heart by laughing at himself: "Huh, the secret that has been hidden for many years is finally said today, and my heart is really much lighter." ”

Zhao Hongrun tacitly cooperated: "A secret that has been hidden for many years? That's it? …… Come on, in fact, I suspect that Uncle Six, you were uneasy and kind when you approached me at the beginning! ”

After a period of joking, Zhao Yuanyan gradually restrained the smile on his face, looked at Zhao Hongrun deeply, and said with a smile: "Hongrun, as I said at the beginning, 'Yifang Water Pavilion' will be handed over to you, as well as my daughters...... Nightingale. Those are hard-working babies, promise me to be kind to them. ”

"Sixth Uncle......" Zhao Hongrun's face changed slightly, and he was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Zhao Yuanyan raising his hand.

"I admit that when I first contacted you, my mind was not pure, but over the years, you have been like a parent and son in my eyes, if it weren't for your father's insistence on not allowing it, I would have wanted to pass you on to me, hehehe." After chuckling a few times, Zhao Yuanyan sighed again and said with a wry smile: "Fortunately, I have never been given ......."

As he spoke, he looked up at Zhao Hongrun, and said, "Hongrun, if you have regarded me as your father and longing for me in your heart, then don't stop me...... I have made a mistake and I must be punished as I deserve. ”

Looking at the resolute Uncle Liuwang, Zhao Hongrun was speechless.

At this moment, his heart was struggling: if it wasn't the Sixth Uncle in front of him who had been dreaming of the ban since childhood, he would definitely support the punishment of "colluding with Xiao Rebellion" and "plotting against him", after all, as the Sixth Uncle said, anything that is involved in "rebellion and rebellion", even if the plot is a little light, cannot be tolerated, because once a precedent is set, it will not be possible to eliminate imitators in the future; But the problem is that it was this Uncle Liuwang who violated the ban this time.

For so many years, in Zhao Hongrun's mind, the status of this sixth uncle has always been on an equal footing with Concubine Shen Shu, even if it is Wei Tianzi, who has had a good relationship over the years, he must be ranked behind this sixth uncle.

How did Zhao Hongrun let go of this feeling and watch this uncle of the six kings step into a dead end?

Not only after a long time, Zhao Hongmin stepped into the prison and said to Zhao Hongrun: "Hongrun, the inner chamberlain sent someone to summon you and ordered you to go to the Ganlu Hall immediately. ”

After that, Zhao Hongmin left, thinking that he also felt that the atmosphere in the prison was too solemn.

"Go ahead."

Looking at Zhao Hongrun, who was silent, Zhao Yuanling smiled and urged: "Your father summoned you at this moment, presumably to send troops to defend against the enemy. ”

Zhao Hongrun raised his head when he heard this, and looked at Zhao Yuanyan with a complicated expression, he knew that if he said goodbye today, he was afraid that he would never have the opportunity to meet again in this life.

"Sixth Uncle ......"

"You've grown up, Hongrun, do what you're supposed to do, and Uncle Six...... I'm going to do what I'm supposed to do. ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, he stood up with a low expression, he knew that he couldn't dissuade this sixth uncle.

"Uncle Six, then I'...... Then I'm gone......"

"Hmm." Zhao Yuanling smiled and nodded, and then advised: "Hongrun, don't underestimate Xiao Luan, this person has the talent of a general, if it weren't for the Xiao family's incident at the beginning, he would definitely be able to become the general of my Great Wei, not inferior to Wei Ji and Shaohu." ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun nodded silently, and then walked towards the prison door.

Before Zhao Hongrun was about to step out of the prison door, he suddenly heard Zhao Yuanyan's apologetic voice from behind him: "I'm sorry, Hongrun, I still involved you after all......"

"......" Zhao Hongrun pinched an iron railing, took a deep breath, and walked out of the prison.

After Zhao Hongyu left, two Zong Wei Yu Lin Lang walked in.

When they arrived at the cell door, one of them, Yu Linlang, took out the key from his arms, apparently preparing to lock the cell door.

And at this moment, the two Zong Wei Yu Lin Lang suddenly slashed at each other with the scabbard in their hands at the same time.

There was a crisp "pop", and the two scabbards slammed together.

At this time, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the two Zong Wei Yu Lin Lang: "You ......"

After saying a word in unison, they seemed to have suddenly reached a tacit understanding, and after opening the cell door, they knocked on one knee.

One of them, Zong Wei Yu Lin Lang, said, "Lord Yi, do you still recognize the villain? At that time, my mother was seriously ill, and the family was poor and had no money for treatment, thanks to the prince's righteous donation. ”

"Oh." Zhao Yuanli smiled slightly.

In fact, he didn't recognize this Zongwei at all, because of similar righteous acts, Zhao Yuanyan didn't know what he had done, and he didn't remember it for a long time.

On the other side, Zong Wei glanced at his companion, and then said in a low voice: "Lord Yi, Lord Zongzheng has decided to sentence the prince, you can't stay here for a long time, please leave with me quickly." ”

The previous Zongwei also said: "I have summoned some Zongwei who can be trusted, and I will send the prince away from Daliang desperately." ”

Looking at these two worried Zongwei, Zhao Yuanyan shook his head, and suddenly asked with a smile, "Is there any wine?" ”

The two Zong Wei looked at each other, and one of them immediately left, taking a pot of wine and a wine glass.

Ignoring the persuasion of these two sect guards, Zhao Yuanli poured a glass of wine, then took off the hairpin on the jade crown, took off a pearl-like thing on it and threw it into the wine glass.

Immediately, he reinserted the hairpin back into the jade crown.

And with just a little effort, the "pearl" has melted in the wine.

"I have committed another unforgivable sin, but ......"

After taking a deep look at the portrait on the case, Zhao Yuanyan picked up the wine cup and drank it all.

Immediately, he straightened his clothes and sat upright.

After some time, his head hung limply.

From beginning to end, the two sect guards knelt on one knee in front of the open prison door, motionless, as if to see off the Lord Yi in front of them.

At the same time, on the official road about thirty miles away from the girder, a horse-drawn carriage was moving quickly.

Nearby, more than a dozen guards guarded the carriage.

Suddenly, an order mixed with a cough came from inside the carriage: "Shen Yu, stop." ”

"Yes!" The groom, who was driving the carriage, immediately grabbed the reins and stopped the carriage, and asked with a smile, "Do you feel tired?" Lord Yu? ”

After his inquiry, a middle-aged man dressed in white got out of the carriage on crutches, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times, then looked up in the direction of the girder.

"Suddenly I felt ...... A heartache. ”
