Chapter 1129: Dusty Story
"Yes, yes, what a good girl. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
At the silent banquet in the middle palace, Wei Tianzi stroked his palms and smiled: "Yuan Li, you are really ingenious, you have such a hand to trick everyone, this is not a few glasses of water and wine can be reached, you need to sincerely apologize to everyone here." ā
Hearing this, many of the guests here barely squeezed out a smile and agreed.
None of them are fools, of course they understand the intention of Wei Tianzi's words, either to lower Zhao Yuanyan's vigilance, or to shield the latter, intending to expose the matter.
However, King Yi Zhao Yuanyan ignored Wei Tianzi's words, and after a moment of silence, he raised his head and said to Wei Tianzi: "Your Majesty, no, the imperial brother, the courtiers think that today in front of everyone here, it is necessary to uncover an old past, so that the innocent people who suffered injustice back then can wash away their grievances......"
"Oh?" The smile on Wei Tianzi's face slowly retracted, "Sixth, you're drunk." ā
After that, he glanced around at the many warblers and Yanyan on the feast, and said in a deep voice: "Daughters, your father-in-law is drunk, and he still doesn't help him to retreat and rest. ā
However, none of the nightingales in the main hall of the Middle Palace had any intention of obeying, which made Wei Tianzi frown.
At this time, King Yi Zhao Yuanyan came out of the queue to the center of the main hall, and in the silent hall, he said to Wei Tianzi with emotion: "More than thirty years, Brother Four Wang?" ā
"......" Hearing the long-lost title, Wei Tianzi opened his mouth slightly and was silent.
Under the curious attention of the guests in the palace, Yiwang Zhao Yuanyan began to slowly tell his story, and the beginning of this story happened more than thirty years ago, that is, in the eighth year of Zhaowu.
At that time, Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, had just left the palace and was awarded the title of "King Jing", while Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, and Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Yi, still lived in their respective princes' pavilions in the palace.
On that day, King Jing Zhao Yuansi chose a mansion that had been vacant for many years in Daliang City, and after repair, hung a plaque of "King Jing's Mansion".
This mansion, maybe in more than 30 years, it will have another name - Su Wangfu, but at this moment, this palace is called Jingwangfu, which is the palace of the fourth prince Jingwang Zhao Yuanxi.
After arranging the renovation of the palace, Zhao Yuanxi took Li Cheng, the head of the sect's guard, into the palace and told the good news to the two brothers with the best relationship, the fifth Zhao Yuantong and the sixth Zhao Yuanyan.
Zhao Yuantong's Imperial Pavilion, that is, Yafeng Pavilion, more than 30 years later, was full of calligraphy and painting of his nephew Zhao Hongzhao, who was not born at this time, but at this time, the decorations in the Yafeng Pavilion were completely incompatible with the word "Ya", after all, the fifth prince Zhao Yuantong loved to play with sticks.
After coming to Zhao Yuantong's Yafeng Pavilion, Zhao Yuanxi also called the sixth Zhao Yuanli over, and the three brothers secretly drank in the side hall to congratulate the fourth royal brother Zhao Yuanxi for leaving the pavilion and opening the mansion, and finally escaped from the palace This prison for the princes.
When the three brothers drank and celebrated, Zhao Yuanli was in a very good mood, because he was only one year old apart from the fourth royal brother Zhao Yuanxi, which meant that he would be able to escape from this palace next year, and in comparison, Zhao Yuanyan's mood was much worse, because he was two years different from Zhao Yuantong, which meant that after these two royal brothers moved out of the palace, he would have to stay alone in the palace for another two years.
Seeing Zhao Yuanyan's depressed face, Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Yuanyan said that they would come to visit him often in the future, which made Zhao Yuanyan's mood much better.
The three brothers drank and chatted and chatted about the future.
During this period, Zhao Yuantong asked, "Brother Four Wangs, do you have any plans for the future?" ā
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanxi said with a smile: "Old Five, don't worry, the foolish brother will not forget your agreement with me......
"Oh? Let's hear it. Zhao Yuantong said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanxi pondered for a moment, clenched his fists and said: "Retrain an army no less than Wei Wujun, I am the commander-in-chief and you are the vanguard, and I will seek back the humiliation of the 'Shangdang War' from South Korea!" ā
When it comes to the "Battle of Shangdang", the faces of the three brothers are a little solemn, because in this battle, the pride of the Wei people, the "Wei Wu Army", was completely wiped out in the Shangdang army, and tens of thousands of brave men of the Wei State were killed under the terrible iron cavalry of Korea.
"If only my father had followed the advice of 'Old General Xiao'." Zhao Yuantong let out a long sigh.
The "Old General Xiao" in his mouth is Xiao Yan, the Marquis of Nanyan.
I remember that before the "Shangdang Campaign", Xiao Yan, the Marquis of Southern Yan, who was already in his sixties, tried his best to dissuade Zhao Kang, the king of Wei, from fighting with Korea, because he said that Korea had formed a cavalry army following the example of the steppe peoples, and the reality was still unclear, and it was not easy to rush into battle.
However, Zhao Kang, the king of Wei, was blindly confident in Wei's army and rebuked Xiao Yan, the marquis of Southern Yan, for his old age and cowardice, who left the city in shame and returned to Southern Yan.
Subsequently, Zhao Kang, the king of Wei, still ordered the Wei Wu army to fight with the cavalry of the new Korean army, but Xiao Yan, the Marquis of Southern Yan, was humiliated by Zhao Kang, the king of Wei, but he still cared about the country, so he sent his eldest son Xiao Boyuan to lead the Southern Yan army to Shangdang to help Wei Wujun.
Unexpectedly, before the Southern Yan Army led by Xiao Boyuan arrived in Shangdang, they got the news that Wei Wu's army was completely wiped out by the Korean cavalry on the flat and wide battlefield in Shangdang County.
After hearing about this, Xiao Boyuan sent someone back to Daliang and sent someone to inform his father.
After learning about it, Xiao Yan, the Marquis of Southern Yan, was angry and shouted at home, "Heavenly Death Great Wei", vomited blood and fainted, and died of depression within a few days after waking up, so that after the destruction of the Wei Wu army, the Wei State lost another famous marshal.
Afterwards, Zhao Kang, the king of Wei, realized his mistake, but refused to admit his mistake, but only sent people to appease the Xiao clan of Southern Yan, so that Xiao Boyuan, the son of Xiao Yan, the Marquis of Southern Yan, inherited the throne, trained soldiers and horses, guarded the northern frontier, and beware of the continued invasion of the Koreans.
"Be careful!"
Zhao Yuanxi glanced at Zhao Yuanqi and reminded.
He knew very well that their father, Emperor Zhao Kang, had always been angry about the "defeat of the Shangdang" and did not allow anyone to mention this matter, if Zhao Yuantong's words were heard by their father, even if he was his own son, he might not be able to escape punishment.
But having said that, Zhao Yuanxi also felt a lot of regret in his heart, after all, Xiao Yan, the veteran of Nanyan, was the northern barrier of their Wei State, compared to this old general, his son Xiao Boyuan could not be said to be a tiger father and a dog, but compared to his father Xiao Yan, Xiao Boyuan was indeed a lot worse.
"Brother Four Wangs, what do you think of Yang Wujun?" Zhao Yuantong asked coldly.
Yangwu Army is an army formed by Zhao Kang, the king of Wei, after the defeat of the Shangdang Battle and the annihilation of the Wei Wu Army.
And more than thirty years later, Yangwu City has another name, Zhongyang Hunting Palace.
"Yang Wu Army?"
Zhao Yuanxi glanced at Zhao Yuanxi, and was a little unimpressed.
The Yangwu Army was newly formed by their father Zhao Kang the year before last, at that time, their father was full of confidence to build a powerful army that was not inferior to the Wei Wu Army, so it also aroused strong opposition from the imperial court - the dignified king, actually trained the army himself, what kind of system?
However, after only three months, Zhao Kang couldn't stand the hard work of the training soldiers and returned to Daliang in a gloomy manner.
Therefore, any smart person would not mention the Yangwu Army in front of Zhao Kang, after all, this is the best portrayal of the king of Wei who gave up halfway.
Because of this, the Yangwu Army, which was in the spotlight two years ago, has now been completely forgotten by the imperial court, as if this army did not exist at all.
"No." may have guessed Zhao Yuantong's thoughts, Zhao Yuanxi shook his head and said: "Although you and I need an army, but the Yangwu Army is not a good choice, first of all, he is a thorn in the heart of his father, mentioning this matter is tantamount to evil to his father." Secondly, the Yangwu army was shelved for a year and a half, and the army's morale was weakened, and it was better to rebuild an army than to spend time on this army. ā
Zhao Yuantong nodded when he heard this, and said regretfully: "I just pity those equipment...... Ay. ā
After a year like this, in the ninth year of Zhaowu, the fifth prince Zhao Yuantong was also awarded the title of King Yu and went out of the cabinet to open the mansion.
On the day of the housewarming, Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Yuantong came to Zhao Yuanyan's Tingfeng Pavilion to enlighten this young brother.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuanli was not disappointed at all about Zhao Yuanxi's move out of the palace after Zhao Yuanxi, and he mysteriously told the two royal brothers that he had a way to sneak out of the palace and play with them in the future.
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Yuanqi looked at each other and asked curiously, "Yuanqi, do you have a token to enter and exit the palace gate?" ā
In this regard, Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Yuantong were very surprised, after all, among them, only the favored prince could get the token to enter and exit the palace gate, such as Zhao Yuanling, the prince of the East Palace.
The rest of the brothers wanted to get a token from their father to enter and exit the palace gate, and it was very difficult.
Seeing that Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Yuantong looked puzzled, Zhao Yuanli led them to the study in his (listening to the wind) pavilion and asked Wang Qi, the head of the sect guard, to remove a bookcase.
Immediately, Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Yuantong were stunned to find that there was a big hole in the wall behind the bookcase.
"This ......" Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Yuantong looked at each other, and faintly understood a little.
"Yuan Li, are you crazy?!" Zhao Yuantong said in shock: "You actually dug a tunnel leading to the outside of the palace? Do you know what will happen if someone finds out about this?! ā
"Shhh Zhao Yuanli nervously motioned to the five royal brothers to speak in a low voice, and said in a low voice: "Let's not talk about it, who will know?" Besides, I didn't dig all of this tunnel. ā
As he spoke, he took out a manual from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yuantong.
Zhao Yuantong took the manual suspiciously and looked at it, and said with a strange expression: "Wei Youzi's codex? What is it? ā
Zhao Yuanli explained with a smile: "I accidentally discovered, it turns out that this Wei Youzi is actually one of our ancestors, but this ancestor is not the master of peace, according to the records in his codex, it is said that when he lived in the palace, he dug a tunnel leading to the outside of the palace...... I saw his description of his old prince's pavilion in the article, which was quite similar to my Tingfeng Pavilion, so I tried it, but I didn't expect it to be found by me! As he spoke, he pointed to the secret passage behind the bookcase, and said with a little emotion: "Finally, there is no mistake, otherwise, Wang Qi and I would have worked hard for more than a month in vain." ā
Zhao Yuantong was still shocked, but Zhao Yuanxi didn't care, and said with a smile when he heard this: "Where does this secret passage lead?" ā
"To an old mansion in the city that has been vacant for many years, I have inquired, this mansion is in the name of the sect, it should be the ancestor's mansion. ā¦ā¦ Two royal brothers, look at this ......"
Looking at Zhao Yuanyan, who was a little embarrassed, Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Yuanyan glanced at each other, and shook their heads helplessly: "Come on, we will find a way for you to get that house." ā
"Thank you, two brothers."
Zhao Yuanyan hugged the two brothers with a happy face.
