When Zhao Yuanyan returned to the Zongfu with his son Zhao Hongmin, who was eating and drinking well in the Su Palace, Zhao Hongrun also took a carriage to the palace and came to the Ningxiang Palace of his mother Shen Shufei.

After all, he had been locked up in the sect for seventeen days, and he was a little worried about the situation on his mother's side.

And when Zhao Hongrun came to Ningxiang Palace, it was already late, and Wei Tianzi, Shen Shufei, and Zhao Hongrun's younger brother Zhao Hongxuan were sitting at the dining table eating peacefully.

Seeing Zhao Hongrun, Concubine Shen Shufei was very happy, and hurriedly asked Zhao Hongrun if he had ever had dinner.

As a result, before Zhao Hongrun could say anything, Concubine Shen Shufei instructed the maid Xiao Tao to add a bowl and chopsticks.

In fact, Zhao Hongrun had already eaten when he was waiting for his second uncle Zhao Yuanyan, but he couldn't refuse, so he lied that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, and sat down at the dinner table.

"Run'er, are you busy with the Metallurgical Bureau these days?"

When the maid Xiao Tao brought Zhao Hongrun a bowl of rice, Concubine Shen Shu looked at her eldest son and asked.

"Smelting Bureau?"

Zhao Hongrun was a little puzzled when he heard this, after all, he had been locked up in the meditation room by the sect government for the past seventeen days, how could he have been in the smelting bureau.

And just when Zhao Hongrun was stunned, he noticed that his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan gave him a look.

On the other side, his father, Emperor Wei Tianzi, also glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun immediately woke up: his father and his younger brother deliberately concealed this matter in consideration of his mother's physical condition.

So, Zhao Hongrun pretended to be distressed and said: "Yes, mother, there have been too many things in the Smelting Bureau recently, and the child has been staying in the Smelting Bureau almost day and night, and he can't pull away......"

Shen Shufei didn't know what was going on, and said worriedly: "Run'er, although it's good to contribute to the country, you also have to care about your body...... " After that, she said with a unbearable face: "Look at you, you have lost weight......"

Zhao Hongrun's face was scornful.

It's no wonder that after eating coarse tea and light rice in the meditation room for seventeen days, it's no wonder that he is not thin.

So after the whole meal, I saw Shen Shufei vigorously serving Zhao Hongrun vegetables, which made Wei Tianzi and Zhao Hongxuan quite blushing.

But Zhao Hongrun came over after eating, looking at the large piece of fat on the bowl, his eyelids jumped wildly.

Looking at Shen Shufei's expectant gaze, Zhao Hongrun forcibly swallowed the food in the bowl.

After eating, Concubine Shen Shufei chatted with her husband and son for a few words, and then went to the inner room to rest according to the usual practice.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't hold on any longer, he was sitting in a precarious position, and the whole person suddenly collapsed on the chair, and he almost burped the food in his stomach.

"Brother, did you eat it?" Zhao Hongxuan looked at it and asked puzzled.

"Yes......" Zhao Hongrun replied lazily because his stomach was too uncomfortable.

At this time, Wei Tianzi, who was drinking tea, asked beside him: "I heard that you have ...... Hmm, after going out, went to see King Chengling and them? ”

Zhao Hongrun knew that it was impossible to hide this kind of thing from his father and the Zongfu, so he didn't defend himself, and responded weakly.

Seeing this, Wei Tianzi snorted coldly and said, "Stupid! What else can you do now? ”

"That's not necessarily ......," Zhao Hongrun replied lazily: "It's up to people, there will always be a way." ”

"Humph!" Wei Tianzi snorted coldly and said lightly: "You want to deal with the Zongfu, right?" ”

Zhao Hongrun slapped his palms twice and said, "Father doesn't want to see the Zongfu above the imperial court, right?" How about helping your sons? ”

"......" Wei Tianzi glanced at his son lightly, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said indifferently: "Persuade me." ”

Zhao Hongrun's face was a little depressed, and he said in his heart: Why can't I afford a father who supports his son recklessly?

Compared with those fathers who are extremely protective of calves in the family, the descendants of the royal family are simply grandmothers who don't love their uncles, and they have to fight and fight for everything.

"Erchen has persuaded King Chengling and them, as well as the second uncle. …… Is this sentence enough? ”

“……”

At this time, Wei Tianzi was drinking tea, and when he heard this, he coughed again and again.

He looked at Zhao Hongrun dumbfounded, and asked in astonishment, "Really?" Even your second uncle ......"

Zhao Hongrun smiled.

Seeing this, Wei Tianzi frowned.

In Wei Tianzi's opinion, although the inferior son in front of him is sometimes quite unright, he will never be vague in major matters, let alone exaggerate, since this son said that he persuaded those people, then it must be so.

It's just that Wei Tianzi was very curious, curious about how this inferior son persuaded those people.

But he couldn't ask this, after all, he had predicted it, and unless he asked his son in a low voice, how could this bad son tell him? The scoundrel would just taunt him, 'Huh? Couldn't my father have guessed it?'

No, for a moment, I caught a glimpse of Zhao Hongrun's eyes that seemed to be shining, and the blue tendons on Wei Tianzi's forehead collapsed.

Because the look in his eyes seems to say, "Come and ask me, come and ask me."

"I'm your son!"

Wei Tianzi scolded secretly in his heart, then snorted lightly, and said lightly: "Hmm, it's a good job!" In that case, I might as well push the boat down the river and help you ......"

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at his son to see if this inferior son could not help but reveal the truth.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongrun didn't pay attention to him at all, and said to Zhao Hongxuan: "Xiao Xuan, you are fifteen this year, right?" ”

Zhao Hongxuan smiled.

The prince is fifteen years old, which means that he is an adult, and he can be qualified to leave the palace and open the palace to be crowned, like Zhao Hongzhao, the king of Rui who is now far away in Qi, was still in the palace when he was eighteen years old, that is the exception, because Wei Tianzi really loved this son too much at that time, and he was reluctant to leave the palace.

"Brother, will you give me a congratulatory gift?" Zhao Hongxuan said with great interest.

Zhao Hongrun was a little depressed, and said in his heart that when I opened the mansion and became the king, I didn't see you give me any congratulatory gifts.

But for the sake of his younger brother after all, Zhao Hongrun didn't bother with him, nodded and said, "What do you want?" As long as my brother can do it, you can mention it. ”

"This ......" Seeing Zhao Hongrun say this, Zhao Hongxuan hesitated a little, because although he really wanted to get his brother's congratulatory gift, he really didn't think about asking for anything.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun teased: "Otherwise, my brother will give you a few beautiful girls?" ”

When Zhao Hongxuan heard this, his face immediately turned red.

I have to say that the children of the royal family, due to their strict discipline since childhood, are still very innocent at the age of fifteen.

For example, when Zhao Hongrun had the opportunity to leave the palace, even if he just looked at the Liang girls coming and going on the street, he would be very satisfied.

"What's so embarrassing, look at the father, the harem beauties ......"

"Ahem!" Seeing that the topic involved himself, Wei Tianzi interrupted Zhao Hongrun's words with a cough, and then glared at the latter with a dark face.

It's no wonder, after all, Shen Shufei's two sons, the eldest son Zhao Hongrun has obviously grown crooked, and he is going farther and farther on the fork in the road, he doesn't want this inferior son to take his youngest ninth son again.

What's more, during Zhao Hongrun's absence from Daliang, Wei Tianzi gradually discovered that in fact, his youngest son Zhao Hongxuan was also a smart and studious person, although he could not compare with his brother Zhao Hongrun in terms of talent, but at least in terms of character, I don't know how much better than his brother, and he would not poke his heart and lungs like that.

"Hongrun, solve the urgent task first!"

Wei Tianzi said with a calm face.

"Urgent...... What?'

Zhao Hongrun touched his chin and smiled sheepishly.

Looking at his son with such a smile, Wei Tianzi secretly sympathized with the unlucky sect.

On the twenty-second day of the first month of the eighteenth year of Hongde, as predicted by Zhao Hongrun, after two days, the Zongfu sent someone to the Suwang Mansion again and asked him to discuss the matter of Sanchuan.

And the person who was sent over was still Zhao Hongrun's cousin, Zhao Hongmin.

"Hongrun, you didn't do it authentically last time."

Zhao Hongmin said with a wry smile when he saw Zhao Hongrun.

Zhao Hongrun smiled, after all, last time, in order to let the second uncle Zhao Yuanyan take the initiative to come to the door, he asked Shen Yu and Lu Mu to kidnap Zhao Hongmin to Suwangfu.

Of course, it was said that it was a kidnapping, but in fact, Zhao Hongmin was invited to King Su's Mansion at that time, and he was entertained with delicious food and drink.

At that time, Zhao Hongmin didn't know what was going on, so he didn't refuse Zhao Hongrun's invitation and came to Suwangfu, but under the frequent persuasion of Shen Yu, Lu Mu and other sect guards, he drank unconscious, and he didn't see Zhao Hongrun's arrival.

In the end, it was his father Zhao Yuanyan who brought him back to the Zongfu.

Of course, there is inevitably a lesson afterwards.

However, Zhao Yuanyan did not blame Zhao Hongmin for going to the Su Wangfu to attend the meeting, he was just disappointed that the eldest son Zhao Hongmin was too sincere, and he didn't see through Zhao Hongrun's intentions, and was frequently drunk by a group of the latter's sect guards, and drank ether tincture and got drunk.

If he went to the appointment with insight into everything, then as Lao Tzu, how much face does Zhao Yuan have?

But the result?

When Zhao Hongrun led Zhao Yuanyan to visit Zhao Hongmin that day, he saw the latter sleeping in the guest room of King Su's Mansion.

For this reason, Zhao Hongmin will naturally be counted down by his father Zhao Yuanyan, there is no doubt about it.

"Thanks to my cousin, for my brother, these two days have been really ......" Zhao Hongmin looked at Zhao Hongrun complainingly.

Zhao Hongrun shrank his head and asked cautiously: "Second uncle, I won't ...... you cousin."

Zhao Hongmin laughed miserably twice when he heard this, and said, "After my cousin leaves the sect's mansion, isn't the meditation room empty?" I just stayed in ......."

"Wouldn't it? The second uncle is also so cruel to his eldest son?'

Zhao Hongrun was taken aback, and then hurriedly made all kinds of promises to Zhao Hongmin as compensation, after all, he still had a good impression of this cousin whose temperament was quite similar to his sixth brother Zhao Hongzhao.

About an hour later, Zhao Hongrun, under the leadership of Zhao Hongmin, came to the Zongfu.

Coincidentally, when Zhao Hongmin's carriage arrived at Zongfu, on the other side, the carriages of Zhao Wenshen, King of Chengling, Zhao Wenzhuo, King of Jiyang, Zhao Wenhuo, King of Zhongyang, and Zhao Wenkai, King of Yuanyang, also arrived together as if they had made an appointment.

Zhao Hongrun glanced at the four clan uncles.

The four clan uncles also glanced at him.

The two sides, it seems, that the well water does not violate the river water, and walked into the Zongfu.

However, Zhao Hongmin seemed to faintly see something, and seemed a little puzzled.

Because he felt that whether it was Zhao Hongrun or the four princes and kings on the other side, they seemed to be too calm.

"Something isn't right......

Zhao Hongmin muttered to himself. (To be continued.) )
