"Bang!"

In the study of King Qing's mansion, after hearing about the return of Zong Wei Chang Yan Lang, King Qing Hongxin was furious, angrily smashed a precious porcelain vase on the wall, and then stood panting against the wall, cursing names such as Zhao Hongyu and Zhao Hongrun.

"How can this be true? Outrageous! ”

In the time of dozens of breaths, Qingwang Hongxin's face turned red, and he walked around the study with his fists clenched, looking at his expression, as if he wanted to fight with Yongwang Hongyu and Suwang Hongrun again.

Seeing this, Yan Lang, the head of the sect guard, persuaded on the side: "Your Highness is angry, for the sake of today's plan, you should think of countermeasures." ”

"Countermeasure? What can be done? King Qing Hongxin said angrily.

He had to admit that the eighth Zhao Hongrun's move was not only insidious, but also made him unable to grasp the handle, even if he knew that the eighth child was behind the ghost, he was helpless.

After all, the matter of the Bing Casting Bureau was initiated by the people of Xishi City, and they complained to the Yushitai, and then the Yushitai came forward to impeach the Bing Casting Bureau, at least on the surface, it had nothing to do with Yongwang Hongyu and Suwang Hongrun.

Of course, this is only on the surface, as for the private, Qingwang Hongxin is very convinced that among the "Diao people" who took the lead in going to the Yushitai to sue the Military Casting Bureau for disturbing the people, there must be the eighth Zhao Hongrun's people, and even those who may take the lead are the people of the Eighth Sect - the real ordinary people, who only dare to follow the clouds, do not have the courage to come forward to sue such an official office as the Military Casting Bureau.

Suddenly, King Qing Hongxin had an idea, and said to Yan Lang, the head of the sect guard: "Yan Lang, you immediately send someone to the West Market, catch a few Diao people for this king, and ask who those guys who took the lead are who are." ”

However, hearing this, Zong Wei Chang Yan Lang said with a strange expression: "Your Highness, in fact, the lowly position has already sent people, but it is just ......"

"Just what?" King Qing Hongxin asked suspiciously.

I saw Zong Wei Yan Lang smile bitterly and said, "The Criminal Department seems to have expected it, and sent a lot of people to maintain order there, and the lowly people ...... Don't dare to arrest people rashly. ”

"The Criminal Department?" Qingwang Hongxin was stunned, then immediately came to his senses and scolded: "Damn Zhao Hongyu! ”

Seeing that His Royal Highness began to scold again, Zong Wei Chang Yan Lang stopped talking on the side.

After a while, Qingwang Hongxin scolded tired and sat in his chair sulking.

Seeing this, Zong Wei Chang Yan Lang hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, why don't you make peace with King Su?" ”

Qingwang Hongxin glared at Yan Lang when he heard this, and his mouth seemed to be about to scold, but for some reason, he opened his mouth a few times, and finally did not scold the scolding words, but sighed long: "It's late." ”

Originally, Yan Lang was ready to be scolded, but he didn't expect Qingwang Hongxin to be relieved, so he was shocked and continued to persuade: "I think it's not too late. …… Two days ago, His Royal Highness had endured it many times, but in the end, King Su still refused to give up, and this time too, I believe King Su also knows it in his heart. According to the humble position, King Su just wants His Highness to be soft, and he does not really want to treat His Highness as enemies with each other. …… King Su has always been smart, he naturally understands that at this time to be an enemy of His Royal Highness, it will only allow King Yong to take advantage of it in vain, although King Su and King Yong have been quite close in the past, but I believe that it has not yet reached the point where he is inseparable from His Royal Highness for King Yong. ”

Qingwang Hongxin quietly listened to the analysis of Zong Wei Chang Yan Lang, and did not open his mouth to deny it, believing that he also recognized the latter's speech, but in the end, he still shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You haven't seen the situation clearly, Yan Lang." In fact, Lao Ba is not targeting this king, but the "Uncle of Yuanling Marquis" and other domestic nobles, do you understand? …… The real purpose of his use of this way to force this king to obey is that he is ready to suppress the group of people of the 'Yuanling Marquis', neither against this king nor for the righteous aid of King Yong. ”

"Your Highness?" Yan Lang looked at King Qing Hongxin in surprise, and his expression seemed to say: Since His Royal Highness has seen the situation clearly, why do you insist on being an enemy of King Su.

As if he had guessed what Yan Lang was thinking, King Qing Hongxin said: "The key is that I can't sit back and watch the group of people from Yuanling Marquis being suppressed by the old eight. …… If I want to replace Zhao Hongyu, I must have the support of the Marquis of Yuanling and others, which is why I used the matter of the "Four Orders of Hedong" as a bait to induce the princes of various places in the country to support me in the first place. ”

Speaking of this, he stood up, walked to the window, held the lattice with his hand, frowned and said, "The third child, it is not an ally. …… You can see what he has done in the past. When the East Palace was powerful, he attached himself to King Yong to deal with the East Palace, and later King Yong was in charge of the country and took power, and he leaned on the king, like such a two-faced and three-sword person, how dare I put my heart on him? …… I need allies, allies who can really support me. ”

Hearing this, Zong Wei Chang Yan Lang was not surprised at all, after all, he had advised his Royal Highness not to be in the company of treacherous people like Xiangwang Hongjing, however, Qingwang Hongxin persuaded him with a very simple and straightforward truth: if he Zhao Hongxin did not accept Xiangwang Hongjing, Xiangwang Hongjing would fall to King Yong.

If this is the case, Yongwang Hongyu sits firmly in the position of the prince, and after he is honored and other big positions in the future, Xiangwang Hongjing will most likely be able to get a king, and what about him Zhao Hongxin?

The previous generation is an excellent example: the "Yu King Zhao Yuantong" who supported Wei Tianzi was famous, and the Yiwang Zhao Yuanli was rich and glorious, but what about the other party? The crown prince Zhao Yuanling died violently, and Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Jing, was exiled to Southern Liang.

Not to mention the crown prince Zhao Yuanling for the time being, King Jing Zhao Yuanzuo was exiled to Nanliang for a full seventeen years before he was recalled to Daliang, how many seventeen years are there in a person's life?

Therefore, under the current situation, Xiangwang Hongjing can take refuge in King Yong, because the power of the former is still not enough for King Yong to regard him as an old enemy for the throne, but Zhao Hongxin, the king of Qing, is different, he can bring a threat to King Yong.

If King Yong really ascends to the throne, can he tolerate him Zhao Hongxin?

Not surprisingly, if things really come to that point, what happened to Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, is a lesson for him Zhao Hongxin.

Therefore, between him Zhao Hongxin and Yongwang Hongyu, there is no coexistence between each other, if one day Zhao Hongyu ascends the throne as the king of Wei, then at that time, the best ending for him Zhao Hongxin is only to be sealed to a remote area as the king, and it will be difficult to return to Daliang from then on.

Because of this, knowing that the eighth Zhao Hongrun wanted to suppress the group of people from Yuanling Hou Yushu, Qingwang Hongxin still had to protect the former.

After all, after Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, fell to King Su Hongrun, no one guessed that the latter would definitely try to try to suppress another group of domestic nobles such as Yuanling Hou Yushu, and Yuanling Hou Yu and other domestic nobles also defected to him Qingwang Hongxin under the circumstances of the situation.

This is where the sharp contradiction between Qingwang Hongxin and Suwang Hongrun lies - one side wants to suppress Yuan Linghou and others, and the other side wants to protect it to the death.

Aside from this layer, there is actually no conflict of interest between Qingwang Hongxin and Suwang Hongxin.

But on the other hand, it is precisely for this reason that King Qing Hongxin cannot shake hands with Zhao Hongrun, the eighth elder, unless he is willing to abandon the great domestic aristocratic forces such as Uncle Yuanling, Hou Yu, who has defected to him.

Standing by the window and pondering for a moment, Qingwang Hongxin said in a deep voice: "Since Li Fei Lao'er took the initiative to resign, this means that his son Li Jin should have thrown himself into the eighth child...... But it's okay in this way, Li Man's old man has resigned, and this king can fully control the military department...... In this case, in addition to the sixth battalion of the garrison and the Wei Wu army, as well as the Shang Shuiyi army of Lao Ba, the rest of the army is at least nominally under the command of this king...... It's just this 'General's Mansion'......"

Saying that, King Qing Hongxin turned his head to Yan Lang, the head of the sect, and said, "Yan Lang, you send someone to send an invitation to that Chao Wendong, just say that this king invited him to eat and drink." ”

"The General's Mansion is Chao Wendong?" Yan Lang said in astonishment: "Your Highness, that's someone from the East Palace......"

Qing Wang Hongxin said lightly when he heard this: "The Chao family is just the marriage family of the Zhengcheng Wang family, and now that Zhao Hongli is weak, this king has taken the initiative to show goodwill, and the Chao family may not insist on standing on Zhao Hongli's side...... Moreover, this Chao Wendong and the eighth child have a "kicking enmity", the so-called common hatred, Chao Wendong may help the king, or even fall to the king. …… Even if he insists on standing on Zhao Hongli's side, it doesn't matter, just by the way, he will resolve the conflict with Zhao Hongli, anyway, Zhao Hongli's hated Yongwang the most, not me. ”

"Yes." Yan Lang nodded, and then asked, "...... the Soldier Casting Bureau?"

"......" King Qing Hongxin was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Let's wait and see what happens, if Lao Ba is really as this king expected, and wants to take this opportunity to annex the Bing Casting Bureau, I will impeach him." …… I'm afraid that he will let the Soldier Casting Bureau stand on its own from the Ministry of War, and let the Smelting Bureau remotely control the Soldier Casting Bureau, which will be troublesome. ”

Speaking of this, he thought about it carefully, and it was inevitable that he was a little discouraged in his heart.

After all, he can think of things, and the old eight, who has always been smart, can probably think of it.

As a result, his military department lost its control of the War Casting Bureau, but he couldn't use this matter to accuse the eighth Zhao Hongrun, which was really aggrieved.

After a few days, the Liang government and the opposition seemed to be calm, as if the two major events of "the bones of Li Man, the secretary of the military department" and "the military casting bureau implores to move away from the girder", did not have any impact on the pattern of the girder.

However, a discerning person can see that the atmosphere in the beam has become particularly tense at this time, although the three princes of Xiangwang Hongjing, Qingwang Hongxin, and Suwang Hongxin are all confined to their respective palaces by Wei Tianzi, but these three palaces are frequently attended by dignitaries and dignitaries.

A group of big nobles such as Uncle Hou Yu of Yuanling frequently visited the Qingwang Mansion, and a group of big nobles such as Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, also entered and exited the Su Wangfu one after another, as if both sides were fighting hard in order to compete.

In late November, two diametrically opposed public opinions suddenly broke out in Daliang City.

On the one hand, there was unfavorable public opinion against Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su: the marquis of Yuanling, the marquis of Yuanling, the marquis of Humu, Sun Mou, the marquis of Wanlong, and other great nobles in China, jointly sued Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, for conniving at the murder of his subordinates, causing many shops in Yuanling under the name of the Marquis of Yuanling to be smashed by the merchant and water soldiers who wantonly caused trouble.

On the other hand, it is a public opinion that is extremely unfavorable to Uncle Hou Yu of Yuanling: after the Criminal Department and Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, sent people to verify that Uncle Hou Yu of Yuanling was rampant and domineering in Yuanling City, bullying men and women, and listed more than ten crimes.

These two diametrically opposed news made the people of Daliang feel very confused, and they couldn't figure out which one was true and which one was false.
