Chapter 575: Anling Zhao Clan (2)
"Don't provoke that Zhao Hongrun for the time being. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After understanding the cause and effect of this incident, Zhao Laiyu said in a gloomy tone.
His three sons, I don't know what kind of power that King Su has, how can he Zhao Laiyu not know?
Not to mention that Zhao Hongrun is in charge of the Smelting Bureau, and now the Military Casting Bureau and the Yu Manufacturing Bureau have to rely on the snort of the Smelting Bureau, and not to mention the military power of the 20,000 Yanling Army, 30,000 Shangshui Army, and 50,000 Northern Sichuan Cavalry in the hands of this son, just one point: This son has overthrown the Zongfu!
Overthrowing the clan as a prince is simply unprecedented! Unprecedented!
Although in that incident, the mixed forces were very complicated, including Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei, Zhao Yuanyan, the current Zongzheng of the Zongfu, and Zhao Wenshen, the king of Chengling, Zhao Wenzhuo, the king of Jiyang, Zhao Wenhuo, the king of Zhongyang, and Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang.
It was these three forces that worked together to bring down the Zongfu, and from the hands of Zhao Tairu, Zhao Laiyu and other Zongfu elders, Shengsheng took away the control of the Zongfu, and took the most important Zongwei of the Zongfu, Yu Linlang.
Although it was not Zhao Hongrun who single-handedly overthrew the Zongfu, he played a very important role in it: this son persuaded his father and emperor before and after, persuaded his second uncle Zhao Yuanyan, and persuaded King Chengling and other princes and kings, making the Zongfu a lonely family, and thus being overthrown by him in one fell swoop.
Putting aside personal emotions, Zhao Laiyu had to admit that Zhao Hongrun was a very outstanding son of the royal family, even if he was compared to the six princes and Rui Wang Hongzhao who are now in the phase of Qi State, they are not far behind.
In particular, this son's momentum does not look like a young man who is only sixteen years old at all.
When this son is not angry, he looks lazy like a docile domestic cat, although that kind of look in many cases just means that the king is too lazy to pay attention to you and is too lazy to care about you, but if this son is angered, this son will immediately become a devouring tiger.
Just like when Zhao Tairu was in the Zongfu, when he pointed to Zhao Hongrun's mother Shen Shufei, Zhao Hongrun's cold gaze at that time is still fresh in Zhao Laiyu's memory.
Afterwards, Zhao Laiyu had palpitations.
Because with Zhao Hongrun's eyes at that time, even if this son sent a team of men and horses to intercept them on the way afterwards, he would not be surprised.
It is precisely because of this that after ordering someone to release the rumor, Zhao Laiyu immediately set off and left Daliang and came to Anling, not giving Zhao Hongrun a chance to retaliate against him.
In his mind, Zhao Hongrun wouldn't chase Anling to take revenge on him, right?
It was precisely because of this incident that when his eldest son Zhao Wenlin told him that Zhao Hongrun had come to Anling, Zhao Laiyu was really stunned.
But then again, even if Zhao Hongrun didn't come specifically for him this time, this matter still gave Zhao Laiyu a headache.
Gong's incident, don't look at the big trouble, in fact, it is easy to solve, as long as a few scapegoats are pushed out, and those people are killed in one bite, even if Zhao Hongrun sees something, there is no way.
What's more, in Zhao Laiyu's view, Zhao Hongrun just wants to solve the problem, as long as they Anling Zhao and Anling Wang bow their heads and admit their mistakes, and take out a sum of money to compensate the Chu people in Yanling, in short, as long as the Gong clan is settled in private, Zhao Hongrun will not have time to bite them.
The problem lies in the prefectural warehouse......
It is enough for the entire Anling City to eat three months' warehouse rice, which is such an amazing reserve, however, a few juniors of his Anling Zhao clan, together with the Anling Wang clan, as well as some other noble children in the city, actually conspired to empty the county warehouse.
If it was someone else who came this time, Zhao Laiyu would have a way to maneuver, but it was the King Su who came.
According to Zhao Laiyu's understanding of Zhao Hongrun, what the latter hated the most was that the domestic aristocracy speculated and damaged the public and private interests.
Thinking of this, Zhao Laiyu said to his sons: "You take out a sum of money and go to the nearby county town to buy rice, and make up for the empty warehouse rice of your boys......"
Hearing this, Zhao Wenlin, Zhao Wenqu, and Zhao Wenfu's faces were not very good-looking.
You must know that the price of rice in Wei has risen now, don't look at the household department reported an increase of 30%, but the price of rice in the market in some places has not risen by 30% at all.
What's more, the imperial court strictly prohibits some people from hoarding the rice in the private market, not to mention that the amount is still so large, if they really dare to do this, I believe that tomorrow the household department will find them trouble.
Therefore, if you don't want to fall behind, you can only buy from some smugglers, but at this price, I'm afraid that the Zhao family will spit out all the money they made on the price of rice, and even if this is not enough, they have to pay a sum of money from it.
At this moment, a servant of the palace walked in and said a few words to Zhao Wenlin, only to hear Zhao Wenlin's eyes light up.
"Okay, I see, you can step down."
Zhao Wenlin waved his hand to dismiss the subordinate, and when he turned around, he saw his father looking at him intently, so he explained: "Just now, the Wang family has sent someone to come and make an appointment to close the rice shop under his name tomorrow, and push the county warehouse deficit to the head of that Zhao Hongrun." It is said that in order to help the refugees outside the city, he emptied the barn rice in the county warehouse......"
Hearing this, Zhao Wenqu's eyes also lit up, and he said repeatedly: "This trick is wonderful! ”
"......" Zhao Laiyu glanced at his second son coldly, and asked lightly: "Is it really wonderful?" ”
Seeing his father's indifferent attitude, Zhao Wenlin guessed that the old father might not have thought it through, so he explained: "Father, what do you think, Zhao Hongrun opened a porridge factory outside the city and gave rice porridge to refugees, which is a well-known thing in the city. …… The people of the Wang family also said that they would send some people tomorrow to instigate the civilians in the county to go to the county government to do justice, and I believe that the time will definitely make the king of Su anxious......"
"That's a great plan!" Zhao Laiyu's third son, Zhao Wenfu, nodded and praised on the side: "I don't believe that Zhao Hongrun will do something to the civilians, so I can only explain it bitterly, but he opened a porridge factory outside the city and gave rice porridge to Nanluo, which is indeed true, not to mention that the people of the Wang family will instigate in the crowd at that time, haha, even if that King Su opens his mouth all over his body, I am afraid that he will not be able to explain it clearly!" ”
At this time, the second son Zhao Wenqu noticed Zhao Laiyu's cold expression and asked suspiciously: "Doesn't my father want to see Zhao Hongrun's embarrassed appearance?" ”
"Embarrassed?" Zhao Laiyu glanced at his three sons with a flat expression, sighed, shook his head and said, "If Zhao Hongrun can really be dealt with so easily, how can the old man be forced by him to come to this Anling?" …… Wang's self-pride is wise, this is the way to take trouble! Look at it, within three days, there will be a catastrophe for the Wang family! ”
Zhao Wenlin, Zhao Wenqu, and Zhao Wenfu looked at each other, a little suspicious of their father's remarks.
Unexpectedly, only one day later, Zhao Laiyu's prediction came true: someone actually assassinated the king of Su in public, and reported the name of the Wang family after the assassination was successful.
This is wonderful, Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao took the five hundred Yan Ling soldiers to smash the family business of the Wang family all the way, and finally smashed the main house of the Wang family.
After hearing the news, Zhao Wenlin, Zhao Wenqu, and Zhao Wenfu admired their father so much that they didn't dare to doubt it anymore.
At this time, Zhao Laiyu sneered and said, "Do you think the old man is old? Useless? So it was easily squeezed out of the girder? ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Laiyu could be said to have spit out a bad breath in his heart.
You must know that since he was squeezed out of the beam by Zhao Hongrun, these sons have a different view of him.
It's not that they are not filial, it's just that the words and deeds of these sons sometimes vaguely show that your father is old, so don't care about these things.
And this is also one of the reasons why Zhao Laiyu borrowed wine in his courtyard every day after coming to Anling.
But today, Zhao Laiyu wants to take the opportunity to make his three sons understand: It is not their father who is old and mediocre that will be squeezed out of the beam, but their father has encountered a strong opponent!
Su Wang Hongrun!
"Don't think that there are only a few smart people in the world, in the eyes of the old man, you are not worthy of lifting shoes for Zhao Hongrun's arrogant boy! …… The old man has been in the temple for decades, and he eats more salt than you eat rice, but even so, he can't fight Zhao Hongrun's kid, do you really think that kid is just arrogant, arrogant, and domineering? …… If he doesn't hold on to it, where does he get the capital to be arrogant, arrogant, and domineering? Yes? ”
Zhao Wenlin, Zhao Wenqu, and Zhao Wenfu were taught by their fathers, and they lowered their heads and said nothing.
In all fairness, they thought that it might be that their father was so old that he couldn't even fight a teenage hairy boy.
But now that I think about it, maybe it's not what they think it is at all?
Thinking of this, Zhao Wenlin asked in a lower voice in a more deferential tone than usual: "Father, what should I do now?" …… The Wang family has suffered, and I'm afraid it will be our turn next. ”
"What's the hurry?"
Zhao Laiyu glared at his eldest son, and said slowly: "Zhao Hongrun, don't look arrogant, but he has always been prepared to do things. …… If he does it to you, it means that you have the power in his hands, so he has no fear and is not afraid of making a big deal out of it. Speaking of this, he stroked his beard and said, "Listen to the old man, take out a sum of money to make up for the county warehouse, make up for the warehouse rice that my Zhao family moved away, and buy a few substitutes...... As long as you settle these things, even if Zhao Hongrun has the intention to rectify you, he will not be able to do it. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Wenqu asked in astonishment, "Father, aren't you going to join forces with the Wang family to deal with Zhao Hongrun?" ”
"Join forces with the Wang Clan?" Zhao Laiyu glanced at his son, and said as if he was angry: "Do you think that Zhao Hongrun came to Anling this time, and he will leave if he doesn't do anything?" Although he will not kill the nobles who violate the ban in the city, there is a chance that he will pick one out of ten to kill chickens and monkeys and deter the rest of the nobles in Anling. …… The Wang family pretended to be smart and failed to drive away Zhao Hongrun, but Zhao Hongrun took the opportunity to smash most of his own door, which can be described as a cocoon. …… You're going to join forces with this short-sightedness? ”
Shaking his head, Zhao Laiyu said lightly: "If you also want to become a chicken with the Wang family that was used by Zhao Hongrun's kid to deter the rest of the nobles in Anling, you can go and join forces with the Wang family." ”
Zhao Wenlin, Zhao Wenqu, and Zhao Wenfu looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.
And at this moment, the servant of the house walked into the house.
"The old lady, the uncle, the second master, the third master, Wang Xun from the Wang family came to visit the mansion, saying that he had something important to ask to see the old lady."
"......" Zhao Laiyu stroked his beard when he heard this, thoughtful. (To be continued.) )
