Back to two days ago, after King Yong Hongyu returned to his palace study from the palace in the evening, his staff member Zhang Qigong came to the former with an invitation in his hand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Yongwang Hongyu took off the big hat covering his head with the help of Zhou Yue, the head of his sect's guard, and after seeing Zhang Qigong's actions, he asked casually: "What is that?" ”

In fact, when he spoke, Yongwang Hongyu's eyes had already glimpsed the invitation in Zhang Qigong's hand, and he even judged from the exquisite bronzing pattern on the invitation that the owner of this invitation must be either rich or expensive.

However, Zhang Qigong showed a strange sneer, and said in a cold tone: "Back to Your Highness, this is a war book. ”

“……”

Yongwang Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, and took the invitation from Zhang Qigong suspiciously, and when he saw that the payment on the invitation was "Qingwang Xin", his brows furrowed even tighter.

He opened the invitation and looked at the content without saying a word.

In fact, the content of Qingwang Hongxin's invitation is very simple, nothing more than "three days later, a banquet will be held in the house to entertain guests", "welcome Yongwang to come" and the like, but looking at the words between the lines, Yongwang Hongyu only felt a demonstration coming.

"Hmph."

With a light snort, Yongwang Hongyu put the invitation on the desk casually, then sat on the chair, and asked after thinking for a moment, "What do those people say?" ”

Of course, Zhang Qigong could understand who his Royal Highness was referring to by "those people", so he bowed his hand and said, "They are all waiting and seeing." …… Among them, Zhao Chengxiu, the son of the former Yang Wang, has been quite close to King Qing in recent days. ”

"Shh Yongwang Hongyu pursed his lips when he heard this, his expression was both a little angry and a little disdainful.

Among several domestic kings, the one he looks down on the most is the father and son of the king of Yuanyang.

I think that when Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, was powerful, the father and son stood on the side of the former, and later Zhao Hongli fell, and the father and son immediately switched to King Qing and eyebrow-to-eye with the latter.

Especially at the end of last year, when Wei and Han were still at war, due to the unfavorable situation in the "Eastern Battlefield of Northern Xinjiang" of Wei, the support of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, who was stationed in Shangdang County, in this case, Zhao Wenshen, the king of Chengling, organized 5,000 volunteers to go to Sujube to build defenses in the local area and prepare to hold the great river.

And what about the father and son of the Yuan Yang King?

actually abandoned Yuan Yang and fled to Daliang to seek refuge, which made many people in Wei State shameless at that time.

Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, the same color as the grass on the wall, seems to be thrown to Qingwang Hongxin, and Yongwang Hongyu doesn't care at all.

But the problem is that the magnates who are staying in Daliang at the moment are not only the father and son of the Yuanyang King, but also the Chengling King Zhao Wenshen, the Jiyang King Zhao Wenzhuo, and the Zhongyang King Zhao Wenhuo, and the position is under the Feng Wang, and there are more than a dozen of them, only Yongwang Hongyu knows that there are "Humu Hou Sun Mu", "Yuanling Hou Uncle Yu", "Quliang Hou Sima Song", "Shangliang Hou Zhao Anding", "Weichuan Hou Liu Mao", "Gaoxian Hou Lu Xin", "Gaoyang Hou Jiang Dan", "Pingcheng Hou Li Yang", "Wanlong Hou Zhao Jian", " Kuangcheng Hou Jiyan", "Anping Hou Zhao Tan", "Li Yuanhou Wang Xi", "Lutan Hou Sun Che", "Liuguang Hou Zhao Kang" and so on, almost including the Hou Wang of Liang County and the surrounding area.

These local princes of Wei came in the name of "meeting the Son of Heaven and offering tribute", but in fact they were preparing in advance for the huge profits of the "border city of Qi County", the vacant land of Shangdang County, and the future usurpation of wealth from the "land of Hexi".

In all fairness, in fact, these princes also approached King Yong Hongyu a while ago, hoping that King Yong Hongyu would come forward to negotiate with King Su Zhao Hongrun for them.

However, Yongwang Hongyu knew too well the thoughts of these people, because he didn't want to turn against Zhao Hongrun, the eighth brother who had a good relationship, so he kept delaying and did not give these people a clear answer, however, these princes actually stood on the side of Qingwang Hongxin.

Although Yongwang Hongyu had expected this, when such a thing really happened, he still felt unprecedented pressure.

At this time, Zhou Yue, the head of the sect guard, picked up the invitation on the desk and glanced at it, and asked King Yong Hongyu: "Your Highness, what should you do with this invitation?" ”

Hearing this, Yongwang Hongyu glanced at the invitation card in the hand of Zhou Yue, the head of the sect, and after frowning and pondering for a moment, he hummed and smiled: "Keep it." …… The king will go to the feast when the time comes. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Qigong persuaded in a low voice beside him: "I think that there is no good banquet at the banquet, so don't go." ”

"Nope." Yongwang Hongyu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The fifth child sent someone to deliver this invitation to me, if I avoid it, others may think that I am afraid of him." …… I'm going to a banquet, but I want to learn how to teach the fifth! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Qigong nodded and said: "That's it, it's just ......" Speaking of this, he glanced at King Yong's Hongyu, lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, I think that what the princes say may have room for negotiation. ”

Yongwang Hongyu shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Like this, it will only hurt the eighth child." …… The eighth has a stubborn personality, and he doesn't like to interfere with others when he does things, if I seek the benefits of Hexi for the princes and princes, then my friendship with the eighth will end here. ”

"However, according to Chen Tang, King Su and Liu Jie had a very happy conversation that day...... "Zhang Qigong reminded him.

Hearing this, a look of hesitation flashed on Yongwang Hongyu's face, but he finally shook his head.

Because in his opinion, the danger of being an enemy of King Qing Hongxin is far less serious than being an enemy of King Su Hongrun.

Seeing that King Yong's Hongyu vetoed again, Zhang Qigong nodded, took a breath and said: "In this case, I can only take advantage of the situation to King Su......"

"King Kesu is far away in Fenyin...... "Zhou Yue, the head of the sect guard, reminded him.

However, hearing this, Yongwang Hongyu and Zhang Qigong looked at each other and smiled.

At the same time, in Yiwang's Mansion, Zhao Hongrun's sixth uncle, Zhao Yuanlian, the commander of the Zongfu, also received an invitation sent by King Qingxin.

"Banquet and friends...... Oh, childish tricks. ”

Shaking his head, Zhao Yuanli threw the invitation in his hand back to Wang Qi, the head of the sect.

"Lord Wang, then this ......," Wang Qi, the head of the sect's guard, asked.

I saw a smile on the corner of Zhao Yuanling's mouth, and said half-jokingly: "If I dare to go to the banquet, he will kill Shangfu and come to me for trouble." Saying that, he said lightly under Wang Qi's smiling gaze: "Pushed it for me." ”

"Yes!" Wang Qi, the head of the sect's guard, hugged his fists and received his life.

In this regard, Wang Qi did not feel strange at all.

After all, although Zhao Yuanli is also the sixth uncle of Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing, Qingwang Hongxin and others, there is also a distance in family affection, and the relationship between Zhao Yuanyan and the rest of the nephews is not as deep as Zhao Hongrun's feelings even if they add up.

You must know that the relationship between Zhao Yuanyan and Zhao Hongrun, even Zhao Hongrun's biological father Wei Tianzi sometimes feels a little jealous.

"If you are lowly, you will say that the prince is busy with the affairs of the clan." Hugging his fists, Wang Qi, the head of the sect's guard, retreated.

However, Wang Qi had just left, and Zhao Yuanling, who was still smiling, slowly put away the smile on his face, and looked at the invitation on the table with a frown.

"I'm too impatient, little one, and I'm so impatient when I'm fledgling...... I hope your actions won't affect my big things, otherwise ......

Thinking secretly in his heart, a trace of sharpness flashed in Zhao Yuanling's eyes, and it disappeared in a flash.

"Tsk, it seems that it is still necessary to inform the third royal brother."

At the same time, on the Mansion of Zhao Sheng, Zhao Sheng, the Emperor of Xuan, also pinched an invitation from King Qingwang Hongxin, frowning and silent for a long time.

Seeing this, his wife Wei interjected on the side: "King Qing invited his husband to the banquet, why did his husband sigh for a long time? ”

"You don't know."

Zhao Sheng, the monarch of the Emperor, said with a worried face when he heard this: "King Qing set up this banquet with the intention of coercing the people to coerce King Yong and King Su. …… I don't have a relationship with King Yong, but King Su ......"

His wife Wei Shi was stunned, and then said: "If the husband doesn't want to go to the banquet, why don't you excuse it?" ”

"It's hard to excuse me." Zhao Sheng sighed.

When he said this, Zhao Sheng was also helpless in his heart.

Don't look at the fact that he is mixing well in Daliang now, but in fact, he is the person who is now the most dependent on the Zhao family of the Central Plains Wei State in the Wei State of Longxi, and rashly offended King Hongxin, the prince of Qingwang Hongxin, who is currently powerful, Zhao Sheng was uneasy in his heart.

After hearing Zhao Sheng's explanation, his wife Wei said: "In this case, the husband should treat this as just an ordinary banquet, no matter what King Qing said during the banquet, the husband should act at the opportunity, and don't express his position lightly." ”

"That's the only way to do it for now."

Zhao Sheng nodded and said helplessly.

One after another, Qingwang Hongxin's invitations were also sent to the mansions of well-known figures in the Liang dynasty and the opposition, such as Wei Ji, the king of Lintao, Li Liang, the secretary of the household department, and Li Fang, the secretary of the military department.

On the second day of the first day of November, King Qing's Mansion opened its doors early to welcome many guests.

For a time, there were many cars and horses outside the gate of Qingwang's Mansion, and many dignitaries and dignitaries who could not be seen on weekdays came to the banquet with gifts.

"Humu Hou Baifu went to the banquet, and gave 500 gold, a pair of jade horses, and a box of pearls......"

"Yuanling Marquis Baifu went to the banquet, with a gift of 300, a tiger skin, and a piece of jasper......"

"Quliang Houbai Mansion to the banquet ......"

"Shangliang Hou ......"

For a time, the official in front of the Qingwang Mansion saluted continuously, and Qingwang Hongxin also stood outside the door, welcoming one distinguished guest after another into the mansion.

Whenever a VIP came, Zhao Hongxin's face was even more proud and joyful.

After a long while, Zhao Hongxin finished greeting the guests and walked towards the hall of the mansion.

I saw that at this moment in the hall of the house, countless servants were serving wine and food, and there were many enchanting warblers and swallows, dancing in the hall, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhao Hongxin, the king of Qing, came to the main seat in the hall, and warmly entertained the dignitaries and nobles present, and frequently persuaded them to drink.

After the third round of wine, Zhao Hongxin saw that the time was right, so he stood up with his wine glass and said with a smile: "Today, Xiao Wang and all the distinguished guests are gathered together, and those of you here may be Xiao Wang's uncle and brother, or my Great Wei's pillar Junjie, ...... today."

As soon as he said this, he heard another announcement from the gate of the mansion, and the voice of the doorman trembled slightly.

"Su ...... King Su went to the banquet and gave ...... A pair of horsewhips ......"

『……』

Suddenly, the vocal music in the hall stopped suddenly, everyone present was silent, and Qingwang Hongxin also stood in place with a wine glass, as if he didn't know how to respond.

At this time, the eyes of everyone present all looked at the temple gate.

After only hearing a burst of footsteps, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, led nine Zongwei and ten Yanling soldiers, walked into the hall as if no one was around, and looked around at the guests who were seated.

At this time, in the temple, the needle drop can be heard.
