"The minister will retire for the time being. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Seeing Zhao Hongrun looking at him with an unkind expression, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, left with a very familiar excuse.

Looking at the departing back of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, Zhao Hongrun snorted coldly and scolded in a low voice: "It's an old fox again." ”

"Again?"

Wei Tianzi's brows couldn't help jumping, feeling that this son had scolded him.

With a cough, Wei Tianzi diverted the topic and said, "You can't say that, after all, the king of Nanliang was on our side last night......"

"Not necessarily." Zhao Hongrun said with a sneer.

"Oh?" Wei Tianzi looked at Zhao Hongrun with a little puzzlement, but saw Zhao Hongrun and said indifferently: "On the way back, I met the Dangshan Army. ”

“…… Oh. Wei Tianzi blinked.

"Therefore, the king of Nanliang is not necessarily on his father's side, but he guessed that his father transferred other troops in addition to the Nanyan army, so after weighing the pros and cons, he made a wise choice." Zhao Hongrun analyzed rationally.

"......" Wei Tianzi squinted his eyes and didn't speak, after all, Zhao Hongrun's analysis was indeed reasonable.

After a long time, he asked, "Last night, you rode away from the palace with a group of people, did you go to catch Yuan Li?" You got him back? ”

Zhao Hongrun hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to reveal the truth to his father: "There are some things that I want to ask the sixth uncle face-to-face." …… In addition, it was Uncle Sixth who took the initiative to come back with me. ”

"Hmm." Wei Tianzi nodded, and then said in a low voice: "You have also grown up, and you can take care of yourself." …… After returning to Daliang, I will issue an edict to arrest Yuan Ling, and you should understand what I mean. ”

Zhao Hongrun nodded, and then, he raised his head and asked Wei Tianzi, "Father, why are you hiding it from your son?" …… Yesterday's rebellion, I believe my father had expected it, right? Otherwise, the Nanyan Army and the Dangshan Army would not have come here for no reason, but why didn't they reveal it to their sons? If there was a merchant army or a Yanling army last night, it would not be so dangerous. ”

Hearing his son's slightly accusatory inquiry, Wei Tianzi was silent.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is his self-esteem that thinks that the grievances and grievances of the older generation should not be interfered with by the juniors.

However, it backfired, Xiao Wei hid even deeper than he expected, and even Ai He, the deputy general of the Southern Yan Army, was a member of Xiao Wei, thus killing Wei Mu, which made the scale of last night's rebellion even larger - Wei Tianzi really didn't expect this.

The Southern Yan Army is still like this, so what about the Chenggao Army, the Dangshan Army, the Fencheng Army, and even the Junshui Army, which are the armies of the six battalions of the other garrisons?

Is there also a remnant of the Shaw clan lurking in it?

"I hope the Southern Yan Army is just an example."

Wei Tianzi thought worriedly.

Seeing that Wei Tianzi did not speak for a long time, Zhao Hongrun realized that his father did not want to discuss the issue of Xiao Wei with him in depth, so he took his leave with humor.

After bidding farewell to Wei Tianzi and reporting safety to Concubine Shen Shu, Zhao Hongrun returned to the earthquake palace with the sect guard Changwei Jiao.

At this time, the earthquake palace was full of guards from the Junshui Army outside, and inside the palace, there were Su Wangwei and the green crows on duty, double protection to ensure the safety of the earthquake palace.

Nodding and saying hello to the Junshui soldiers guarding the earthquake palace, Zhao Hongrun stepped into the palace and came to his own bed.

In the room, Yiwang Zhao Yuanyan and his sect chief Wang Qi were sitting in the room, waiting for Zhao Hongrun's arrival.

When he saw Zhao Hongrun, Wang Qi's mood was a little complicated, because he finally persuaded Yiwang Zhao Yuanyan to flee, but on the way to escape, when he met Zhao Hongrun, Yiwang Zhao Yuanyan immediately changed his mind to flee and followed Zhao Hongrun back to Zhongyang Palace.

What this means, Wang Qi knows very well in his heart.

"You're here, Hongrun?"

After seeing Zhao Hongrun walking into the house, Yiwang Zhao Yuanling smiled and said hello.

Zhao Hongrun nodded, and then instructed the sect guard chief Wei Jiao: "Wei Jiao, you go out first." ”

"Yes." Wei Jiao left obediently.

Seeing this, King Yi Zhao Yuanyan also instructed Wang Qi, the head of the sect's guard, to leave the house.

"I heard that Ying'er and Que'er are also locked up in this earthquake palace?" Seeing Zhao Hongrun sitting opposite him, Yiwang Zhao Yuanyan asked with a chuckle.

"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun nodded, didn't hide it, and said truthfully: "I let Mi Jiang and Fu Wei look at them." ”

"Oh......" Zhao Yuanyan replied and didn't say anything more.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun reached out and lifted the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for Zhao Yuanyan and himself, and asked in his mouth: "Sixth uncle, what is going on?" ”

Zhao Yuanli picked up the teacup and took a sip, and after half a ring, he said melancholy: "Hongrun, I still remember that before Chenggao hunting, you asked me about 'her'. ”

Zhao Hongrun nodded, he knew that the woman in Zhao Yuanyan's mouth was Xiao Shuyan, and she was also the woman that Uncle Liuwang still remembered.

“…… When you asked me what she regretted the most, I told you that what I regretted the most was that I didn't have the courage to talk to her......"

"......" Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned, and then suddenly understood that what Uncle Liuwang said about "failing to muster up the courage to speak to her" means that in the story told by Uncle Liuwang, he did not ask Xiao Shuyan's best friend about it.

After all, according to the joke and bet between Wei Tianzi and Zhao Yuanli at the beginning, if Zhao Yuanli plucked up the courage to ask Xiao Shuyan's name, maybe this woman would become Princess Yi.

“…… Actually, no. Just as Zhao Hongrun was thinking, Zhao Yuanling shook his head, and then sighed and said: "What I regret the most is that I didn't stop her in the first place. …… At that time, she begged me to try to help Zhao Yuanling and his son escape from the beam with the baby boy, in fact, I guessed that doing so would only anger the four royal brothers even more, but I really ...... I can't refuse. That was the only time she pleaded......"

"She's ready to sacrifice herself?" Zhao Hongrun asked.

"No, it's not." Zhao Yuanli shook his head, and said, "If she wants to sacrifice herself, I will stop her ruthlessly." Even, I will personally kill Zhao Yuanling and the baby boy and cut off her thoughts. …… But she said that as long as I managed to take Zhao Yuanling's father and son and the baby boy away, she would try to persuade the four royal brothers...... At that time, I believed it, because Brother Siwang was really obsessed with her. ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun silently sipped his tea.

His father's obsession with Xiao Shuyan, Zhao Hongrun also felt it more or less, just like the Chen Shuyan who looked like Xiao Shuyan, and then it was like the abandoned palace that was exactly the same as Youzhi Palace, all kinds of signs proved that even today, his father still remembered Xiao Shuyan, so that after Xiao Shuyan's death, his father found Chen Shuyan as a replacement, and even hid the furniture and things that Xiao Shuyan had used in the abandoned palace in the palace, and let the Praetorian guards guard it, so that he could see things and think about people from time to time.

Zhao Hongrun guessed that maybe Xiao Shuyan didn't expect his father's reaction to be so big at that time, maybe she felt that as long as the person concerned, that is, Zhao Yuanling's father and son and the baby boy were no longer in the palace, she pleaded afterwards, and his father would be soft-hearted after all.

"The depth of love, the depth of hate......

Zhao Hongrun sighed secretly.

In his opinion, his father is indeed in love with Xiao Shuyan deeply, so much so that when he found out that Xiao Shuyan betrayed him, his father was furious, so angry that he couldn't even control himself, so he did something that he regretted - killing Xiao Shuyan by mistake.

If it's just an ordinary dispensable concubine, the old man disregards the prestige of the Son of Heaven and kills people with his own hands? And a decorative sword hanging on the wall?

Zhao Hongrun didn't believe it.

He felt that if his father really wanted to kill Xiao Shuyan, there was a way, so why do it himself? As long as he gives an order, there are people in the palace who will do it for him.

What's more, according to his father's character, if his father was still rational at that time, if he really wanted to punish Xiao Shuyan, the best way was to send someone to recover Zhao Yuanling's father and son, and then execute him in front of Xiao Shuyan - this is in line with the tyrannical character of the old man when he was young.

However, the old man killed Xiao Shuyan at that time, which shows that the old man was indeed carried away by anger at that time, which is the so-called impulsive killing.

And when the anger is over, everything is regretted.

"I killed her with my own hands, you know, Hongrun, I killed her with my own hands. …… If I had stopped her at that time and refused to help her, even though she would have hated me, she would still be alive in the end......" Zhao Yuanli whispered as he held the teacup with trembling hands.

After a long time, Zhao Yuanling took a deep breath and continued: "After her death, the fourth royal brother was worried that Xiao Boyuan, the Marquis of Nanyan, would avenge his daughter and support Zhao Yuanling after learning about it, so the fourth royal brother managed to frame the Xiao family...... Her death was the beginning of the whole catastrophe. If the Fourth Prince's Brother had not killed her by mistake, in fact, whether Zhao Yuanling escaped from Great Wei or not would not have affected the position of the Fourth Prince's Brother, as long as she was still in Youzhi Palace, it would be impossible for the Nanyan Xiao Clan to oppose the Fourth Prince's Brother. …… I said last night that at that time, Xiao Boyuan expelled Zhao Yuanling, and Xiao Luan led the cavalry to catch up with Zhao Yuanling's father and son that night and killed him, but because of her death, the four royal brothers had murderous intentions towards Xiao...... And it's all my fault. ”

"......" sipped the tea, and Zhao Hongrun didn't say a word.

"After I helped Xiao Luan escape from Dali Temple, about six or seven years later, he found me. I thought he was going to kill me, however, he said that I still have some affection with the Xiao family, so he didn't mean to kill me, he just asked me to tell the four royal brothers, this matter will not be so simple to end, saying that he Xiao Luan will come back one day to reveal the truth of the case of "Xiao Boyuan, Marquis of Nanyan", and the rebellion of the ...... He also said that he had gathered a group of dead soldiers and was ready to assassinate the children of the royal family of Ji Zhao...... At that time, I persuaded him to stop, and promised him that one day he would definitely let the Xiao family avenge his grievances, but as a condition, he must not do anything that harms my Great Wei......"

"However, Xiao Luan has been lying to you, right, Sixth Uncle?" Zhao Hongrun asked indifferently.

Zhao Yuanyan smiled bitterly when he heard this, he must admit that Xiao Luan did not take his promise to heart from the beginning, compared to making the Xiao family aggrieved, Xiao Luan preferred to destroy the entire Wei State and make Zhao Yuanxi the king of the fallen country.

"Hongrun, go back to Daliang, if I guess correctly, Xiao Luan will create chaos in Daliang."

"Girder?" Zhao Hongrun frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

I saw Zhao Yuanli pause for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Because, he has always suspected that the baby boy was still alive back then, that is, Yulong's half-brother and half-brother......"
