About half an hour later, the four princes of Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing, Qingwang Hongxin and Suwang Hongrun were recruited by their father Emperor Wei Tianzi in the Ganlu Hall and reprimanded them heavily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, the ins and outs of the whole thing, Wei Tianzi was very clear in his heart.

It is nothing more than that the increasingly expanding fifth wants to replace the second child, so he uses the "Hedong Four Orders" as a bait to tempt the big nobles in the country to support him, trying to coerce this huge force to force the second and eighth children to submit, but unexpectedly, the old eight quietly returned to Daliang, stirred up the banquet last night, and won over a group of people at the banquet and suppressed another group of people, successfully making the camp of the big nobles who had the same interests in the past on the verge of collapse.

If it was just that, Wei Tianzi didn't mind, the problem was that the four princes in the hall actually beat each other in front of everyone, and threw dishes at each other, and in the last one they were covered in soup and embarrassed, which was simply the face of the Ji Zhao royal family.

As for the culprit in this incident......

Wei Tianzi looked at Zhao Hongrun, who was kneeling in front of him with an innocent face at this moment - this son, who he praised as "My Tiger Child" a few days ago, was the culprit of last night's farce, if he hadn't slapped the dish full of soup on Lao Wu's face first, Lao Wu would not have messed around with him.

"Father, it was Hongrun who did it first!"

"Zhao Wu, speak with your conscience...... Yesterday you did it first. ”

"Nonsense! When did I do it? ”

"I ask you, did you mean me at the time?"

"I mean, so what?"

"Did you do it? Could it be that you are pointing with your toes? ”

"You're using strong words!"

"Father, the son thinks that although Hongrun overreacted, Hongxin also had something wrong......"

"Zhao Hongyu! Don't turn black and white upside down! ”

"When did I turn black and white upside down? Mo Dao, I don't know, you feasted guests yesterday, you were not easy and kind, you dare to say, you don't have the heart to deal with me and Hongrun? ”

"I ...... I'm just a feast! The three royal brothers can testify. ”

"Hmm, the fifth brother ......"

"Third child, you better shut up."

"You ......"

Seeing the four sons accusing each other and arguing, the corners of Wei Tianzi's forehead jumped.

"Enough!" He slapped the case and shouted: "Isn't it embarrassing enough?!" ”

Hearing this, Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing, Qingwang Hongxin and Zhao Hongrun closed their voices and sat down one by one.

"The four children of the royal family, in front of the public and in full view, instructed Zongwei to fight openly and ...... themselves," he said, Wei Tianzi pointed to the four sons' costumes stained with soup, and was furious.

On the side, the great eunuch Tong Xian saw that Wei Tianzi's face was full of anger, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Majesty is angry, several highnesses are still young, and they are impulsive......"

"Young?" Wei Tianzi snorted coldly, his eyes swept at the four sons kneeling in front of him, and said coldly: "The three already have children under their knees, even if they are this inferior son, they are about to be weakened, where are they young and impulsive, it is clear that they are forming a party for personal gain, and the party is fighting against different ......"

Hearing the words "forming a party for personal gain" and "the party is the same and fighting against differences", Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing, and Qingwang Hongxin all changed their faces slightly.

In all fairness, it is impossible for any prince not to form a party, even if it is Zhao Hongrun, doesn't he also make friends with many officials of the Ministry of Industry in the court?

In this regard, the government and the opposition have always turned a blind eye, and no one will say anything about it, but this time Wei Tianzi broke the matter, which proves that the father is extremely dissatisfied with their brother's behavior today.

In this case, Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing, and Qingwang Hongxin could only obediently admit their mistakes, even Zhao Hongrun, who did not say a word after seeing the situation clearly.

After a long time, under the persuasion of the great eunuch Tong Xian, Wei Tianzi's anger finally gradually subsided, only to see him staring at his four sons for a while, and angrily reprimanded: "From now on, until the end of this year, several of you will stay in your respective mansions honestly, and you are not allowed to go out, if anyone causes something again, don't blame me for severely punishing you!" …… Do you understand?! ”

"Yes, Father."

Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing, Qingwang Hongxin, and Zhao Hongrun answered honestly.

Seeing that the attitude of his sons in admitting their mistakes was quite sincere, Wei Tianzi gradually discouraged his anger and said coldly: "King Yong changed his clothes and went to the Vertical Arch Hall to deal with government affairs. All three of you, go back to your respective palaces! ”

"Yes......"

The four princes replied in a daze, and walked out of the hall with their heads drooped.

Just when Zhao Hongrun was about to step out of the palace gate, Wei Tianzi said lightly behind him: "Hongrun, go back to your mansion, and go to Ningxiang Palace first to greet your mother and concubine, Tong Xian, you lead him there." ”

"Yes." The great eunuch Tong Xian said.

Seeing this scene, Xiangwang Hongjing and Qingwang Hongxin glanced back, and they were not surprised, so they left by themselves.

But what they didn't expect was that the great eunuch Tong Xian led Zhao Hongrun around the courtyard of the Ganlu Hall and brought Zhao Hongrun back.

And in this regard, Zhao Hongrun was not surprised at all, because he had already guessed that his father must have something to say to him.

As Zhao Hongrun guessed, when he stepped back into the Manna Hall again, his father was drinking a cup of tea leisurely, and there was still any anger on his face, but there was a little smile, as if something good had happened.

Seeing Zhao Hongrun walking into the hall, Wei Tianzi casually pointed to the seat next to him with a teacup, and said lightly: "Sit." ”

Zhao Hongrun pursed his lips secretly, and said deliberately: "Erchen is kneeling......"

Wei Tianzi chuckled twice when he heard this, and said casually: "Then you can kneel." ”

However, Zhao Hongrun just said casually, seeing that his father didn't take the bait, he inevitably had some emotions in his heart, and after sitting in his seat, he pouted and said, "Father, aren't you authentic...... Erchen has helped you solve a stubborn disease. ”

Wei Tianzi glanced at Zhao Hongrun when he heard this, and the expression on his face seemed to be silent: I want you to help?

In fact, the father and son know it.

As Zhao Hongrun thought, for those big nobles in the country, Wei Tianzi has long wanted to cure them, but in the past, it seems that Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, and Uncle Yu, the Marquis of Yuanling, had the same attitude in the face of the suppression of the imperial court, and they always resisted the pressure from the imperial court, coupled with the fact that the former clan government stirred up from it, so that although Wei Tianzi was the king of Wei, he was unable to root out the fact that some of the big nobles in the country formed a party and became bigger.

And now, the camp of the great nobles in the country is on the verge of disintegration and splits into two forces that are about to be on opposite sides, which is a very favorable situation for the imperial court and Wei Tianzi.

Because of this, Wei Tianzi seemed to criticize his four sons fiercely, but he ignored the most fundamental fact - the farce last night was clearly provoked by Zhao Hongrun.

Why ignore it? The reason is that Wei Tianzi not only thought that Zhao Hongrun was at fault, but felt that he had done this extremely skillfully and successfully dismantled the camp of the big nobles in China.

Of course, Wei Tianzi still felt quite embarrassed that this inferior son actually fought with his brother in public, which was unprecedented.

"What's next for you?" Wei Tianzi asked as he sipped his tea.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun smiled slyly and deliberately asked, "What did the father ask?" ”

Unexpectedly, Wei Tianzi was not fooled, and said lightly while tasting tea: "By the way, I told your mother what you did yesterday, and your mother was very angry, and asked her maid to find an old willow branch, and I don't know what it was for......

"......" Zhao Hongrun's face twitched twice, and then, after coughing, Zhengse said: "Father, next, the son is going to do two big things." ”

"You say." Looking at his son's appearance of being condescending and respectful, Wei Tianzi was amused.

"The first thing is to recommend the candidate for the 'Hedong Four Orders', and I believe that my father has also received a secret letter from his son."

"Hmm." Wei Tianzi nodded and said: "In the secret letter, you recommended 'Kou Zheng' as the Fenyin Order, Lintao Jun Wei Ji as the Fenyin Commander, and Zhao Laiyu's eldest son Zhao Wenlin as the Puban Order, all three of which I can understand...... However, you recommended Sima An's lieutenant "Wen Feng" as Captain Pusaka, why did you suddenly think of this person? ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Hongrun and asked suspiciously, "Hongrun, are you going to recommend Sima An as Hexi Shou?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun looked at Wei Tianzi in surprise, after all, he had never mentioned this matter to anyone, but he didn't expect his father to guess it.

Seeing his son's surprised expression, Wei Tianzi felt very proud in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended not to care, and said casually: "I can guess, this is not strange. …… Since you promised Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, to garrison the Pi clan, this means that you don't plan to block the domestic nobles from going to Hexi to make profits when the time comes, but on the other hand, it also proves that you have a suitable candidate for the Hexi guard in your heart, and this candidate can deter those nobles...... Moreover, this time, the South Korean army attacked Hexi on behalf of me, and I had the Great Wei to Hexi, but it was difficult to defend Hexi, so this suitable candidate for Hexi must be a good fighter...... It's just that the Dangshan Army will be moved to Hexi, will there be this? ”

Seeing that the words had been mentioned, Zhao Hongrun did not hide anything, and Zhengse said: "There is a need for this." …… Father, Hexi is just a springboard, what the sons really want is the entire land of the Hetao, if I get the land of the Hetao, then there will be no shortage of war horses and cattle in the future...... Cavalry is the king on the battlefield, South Korea, it has more than 100,000 or 200,000 cavalry, and what about my Great Wei? When the cavalry of the whole country is added together, it can be enough to count 20,000? Father, you should know that in Shangdang, due to the lack of cavalry around his sons, how passive those battles were. ”

Hearing this, Wei Tianzi was silent, frowning and thinking about his son's words.

After a long time, he asked in a low voice, "Wei Han will have a battle in the future, right?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Hongrun nodded, and said in a low voice: "South Korea uses the land of Hetao to induce our Great Wei to attack Linhu, then it can concentrate its forces to deal with Donghu, whether our Great Wei takes the lead in defeating Linhu, or South Korea takes the lead in defeating Donghu, the battle between Wei and Han is inevitable." And when the time comes, what my Great Wei will face is the real elite of South Korea - the border guards. ”

About half an hour later, Zhao Hongrun left the Ganlu Hall and went to the Ningxiang Palace, while Wei Tianzi was still sitting in the hall thinking about his son's words.

For Zhao Hongrun's strategy, Wei Tianzi is quite recognized, and his only concern is.

If he transferred the Dangshan Army to Hexi one day, then what should Nangong of Song County do?

Wei Tianzi firmly believes in one point: as long as the time is ripe, Nangong Yao will rebel!
