Chapter 485: Persuasion

Why did you prevent the noble merchants from going to Sanchuan?

The reason is very simple, it is to support the common businessmen and weaken the power of the aristocracy, there is no doubt that this is a long-term plan with an eye on the overall situation, but unfortunately, these reasons are not enough to be put on the table.

Because the aristocracy is also paying a huge amount of commercial taxes for the household department, it is no exaggeration to say that in the current Wei State, the contribution of the royal family, the princes, and the nobles to the Wei State is far more than that of the common merchants.

In this case, Zhao Hongrun's suppression of the power of aristocratic businessmen is actually unreasonable, so he has been avoiding discussing Sanchuan with the royal family, the princes, and the nobles.

And now, the uncle Zhao Tairu broke his wrist and agreed to pay Zhao Hongrun a huge amount of money, which made the latter have no way out, and could only negotiate with Zhao Wenshen, King of Chengling, Zhao Wenzhuo, King of Jiyang, Zhao Wenhuo, King of Zhongyang, and Zhao Wenkai, King of Yuanyang.

I have to say that this change was unexpected by Zhao Hongrun.

He didn't expect that the uncle was seventy years old, and he still had this kind of courage and eyesight.

"This king has stayed in the meditation room for seventeen days, and he must first go back to his house to recuperate for a few days."

Dropping this excuse, Zhao Hongrun ended the entanglement of the day.

But he knew very well that the Zongfu would not spare him, and in two days at most, the Zongfu would definitely send someone to invite him over again to discuss the matter of Sanchuan with Zhao Wenshen, King of Chengling, Zhao Wenzhuo, King of Jiyang, Zhao Wenhuo, King of Zhongyang, Zhao Wenkai, King of Yuanyang, and others.

And the bad thing is that this time Zhao Hongrun will definitely not be able to repeat his old tricks and mess around, otherwise, the Zongfu is very likely to seize the handle and take the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

After all, this time, Zhao Hongrun offended his uncle and third uncle miserably.

"Look at the good things you do!"

Walking out of the gate of the Zongfu Mansion with his son Zhao Hongrun, Wei Tianzi had a gloomy face and shouted in a low voice.

"......" Zhao Hongrun didn't say a word.

Because he also knew that his actions this time not only did not achieve the purpose he really wanted, but also implicated his father.

If nothing else, in the future, he and his father will inevitably be controlled by the clan.

"Father doesn't need to worry, since it is the trouble of the son-in-law, the son-in-law will solve it!"

Zhao Hongrun said calmly to his father.

"I hope so......" Wei Tianzi glanced at Zhao Hongrun deeply, sat on the jade chariot, and went straight back to the palace.

"Your Highness."

Not far away, Zongwei Shen Yu and Lu Mu came slowly in a carriage, they heard that Wei Tianzi came to Zongfu in person today, and felt that Zhao Hongrun might take advantage of this to get out of trouble, so they drove the carriage in the mansion to greet them.

"Your Highness is in a bad mood? Isn't it locked up again? Lu Mu asked while welcoming Zhao Hongrun into the carriage.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun exhaled melancholy, and said a little depressedly: "Being confined is still secondary, and I can be regarded as relieved after scolding those old things, but the problem at hand is ...... I messed this thing up. ”

Shen Yu and Lu Mu looked at each other, and after half a sound, Lu Mu said cautiously: "Your Highness, let's go back to the palace first, several housewives are worried, even Miss Su ran to the palace after hearing the news that His Royal Highness was trapped in the Zongfu, worried about His Highness's situation day and night......"

Zhao Hongrun's eyes warmed when he heard this, and he nodded.

However, as soon as the carriage left the gate of the Sect's Mansion, he suddenly moved in his heart, raised his hand to stop it, and said, "Wait." ”

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Shen Yu immediately grabbed the reins and asked suspiciously.

Zhao Hongrun didn't explain, just lifted the curtains in the carriage and looked at the front of the Zongfu Mansion.

I saw that in front of the Zongfu Mansion, there were still four carriages, new and bright, and at a glance, I knew that they were not carriages that ordinary people could afford.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhao Wenshen, King of Chengling, Zhao Wenzhuo, King of Jiyang, Zhao Wenhuo, King of Zhongyang, and Zhao Wenkai, King of Yuanyang, to walk out of the Zongfu together.

"Pick one and follow along." Zhao Hongrun commanded in the carriage.

Shen Yu and Lu Mu glanced at each other, although they were puzzled, they still picked one casually and followed according to the instructions of His Royal Highness.

And the owner of the carriage they were following was Zhao Wenshen, the king of Chengling.

The two carriages passed through the streets and alleys, and then came to the palace where Zhao Wenshen, the king of Chengling, temporarily lived in the royal capital of Daliang, the palace of Chengling.

It can be seen that Zhao Wenshen, the king of Chengling, has a very bad complexion.

It's no wonder, after all, today they were all counted, ridiculed and even insulted by Zhao Hongrun, so it's no wonder that they are in a good mood.

But when the king of Ling returned to his palace and was about to drink a few glasses of wine in the palace to suppress the fire in his heart, he was surprised to find that a valuable carriage followed him to his mansion, and the wooden pendant on the carriage was clearly engraved with the words "Su Wangfu".

"Is that the arrogant boy? What is he doing in this king's house?'

King Chengling was slightly stunned, and then seemed to think of something, with a few happy smiles on his face, he stood there with his hands behind his back, waiting for Zhao Hongrun to show up.

As he expected, when the carriage of the Su Wangfu came to a stop, Zhao Hongrun stepped down from the carriage.

Seeing this, King Chengling snorted and sneered: "This king's invitation, but it was thrown into King Su's mansion a year ago, why did King Su come to the appointment today?" ”

However, Zhao Hongrun just glanced at him coldly and said lightly: "King Chengling, do you really want to talk to this king in such a tone?" ”

"This kid ......"

A hint of discoloration flashed in King Chengling's eyes, and after frowning, he asked in a normal tone, "I don't know what King Su has to do?" ”

"Let's talk about it when we enter the house!"

Dropping a sentence, Zhao Hongrun walked into the palace without anyone else, as if this Chengling Mansion was his mansion.

Seeing this, King Chengling frowned, cursed in a low voice, and quickly followed.

After a while, King Chengling led Zhao Hongrun to the side hall of the mansion and asked the people in the mansion to offer some wine, vegetables and dried fruits.

"King Su came today, presumably he changed his mind?"

While pouring a glass of wine for Zhao Hongrun, King Chengling said tentatively.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun looked at the two guards behind King Chengling and did not speak.

King Chengling understood, waved his hand and sent away the two guards behind him, as for the two guards Shen Yu and Lu Mu behind Zhao Hongrun, he didn't see them at all.

After all, Zong Wei's loyalty was well known, and he didn't believe that Zhao Hongrun would hurt him, so there was no need to worry about anything.

"There are no outsiders now, His Royal Highness King Su can always reveal his intentions, right?"

"What do you reveal?" Zhao Hongrun replied lightly, and then raised his glass and drank the wine in the cup.

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun was silent, King Chengling laughed, shook his head and said: "Since His Royal Highness King Su is thin-skinned and refuses to speak lightly, you might as well let my clan uncle guess it......" After that, he squinted his eyes and said sharply: "Is King Su going to deal with the Zongfu?" ”

"Is it obvious?" Zhao Hongrun didn't mean to hide it at all.

“…… Nature. King Chengling was stunned, then nodded and said, "That old ancestor gave His Royal Highness King Su a problem, right?" Otherwise, how could King Su surrender his identity and take the initiative to visit my uncle? ”

『……』

Zhao Hongrun glanced at King Chengling lightly, and said indifferently while pouring wine: "This king has reminded you, does Uncle Clan really plan to talk to this king in this tone?" ”

Hearing this, King Chengling felt a little complicated.

On the one hand, he was angry because Zhao Hongrun threatened him again, and on the other hand, he was a little flattered by Zhao Hongrun's call for his uncle.

After thinking for a moment, King Chengling pondered his tone, shook his head and said, "No matter what promises His Royal Highness King Su makes, in short, I will not help His Highness weaken the Zongfu." This move is tantamount to cutting off the way back! ”

"Really?" Zhao Hongrun glanced up at King Chengling, and said calmly: "Those who are enemies of this king have not ended well so far...... Uncle Clan is confident that he will be the exception? ”

King Chengling's face changed instantly when he heard this, but after a few breaths, he still regained his smile, shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness King Su's ability, Uncle Su has already learned it in the sect, but ...... Your Royal Highness King Su, you can't bring down the sect, you will have to compromise sooner or later...... Although His Royal Highness King Su has made great achievements, in front of most of the royal families, princes, and aristocratic forces in the country, even His Royal Highness King Su has to compromise and finally open Sanchuan to us, isn't it? ”

"That's right." Zhao Hongrun put down the wine bottle, then crossed his hands on the table, looked at King Chengling intently, and said: "This king also knows about this, and I will eventually compromise." But this does not prevent the king from treating the Chengling king as an enemy...... Uncle clan, this king's deterrence in Sichuan is not comparable to the Zongfu, even if the Zongfu finally forces this king to agree to open Sanchuan to you and others, but this king has 50,000 Sichuan Northern Bow in his hands......"

"What does this mean, Your Highness King Su?"

"It's not interesting, just tell the clan uncle that there are a lot of bandits on the Sanchuan side, and they like to rob the caravans of the nobles the most......"

King Chengling suddenly sank like water, and said coldly: "Your Royal Highness King Su, are you threatening me?" ”

Zhao Hongrun didn't care about King Chengling's hostility, picked up a fruit and put it in his mouth, and continued to take care of himself: "Nod, this king can let the clan uncle's caravan travel unhindered in Sanchuan." …… Think about it, although the clan uncle has a lot of money, but if the caravans going to Sanchuan are looted one after another, even if it is the clan uncle, he will not be able to bear it, right? ”

"......" King Chengling glanced at Zhao Hongrun deeply, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?" ”

"It's simple." Zhao Hongrun lifted the wine jug, poured a glass of wine for each of them, and said lightly: "This king just thinks that the elders of the sect like the eldest uncle and the third uncle are old, and our generation should not give them more burdens, and they should be allowed to retire in peace......"

Hearing this, King Chengling's complexion changed again.

He never thought that the King Su in front of him would not only weaken the Sect Mansion, but also kick out the Sect Mansion!

And when King Chengling's complexion changed greatly, Zhao Hongrun was also a little helpless in his heart.

You must know that at first, he didn't want to contact the royal forces of these clan uncles, but now, Zhao Hongrun, who has completely offended the Zongfu, has to change his original plan and give priority to suppressing the Zongfu, so that those Zongfu who rely on the old and sell the old get out.
