Chapter 1118: Imperial Hunting (2)
"Minister Zhao Yuanzuo, here to welcome Your Majesty. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Coming to the jade chariot of Wei Tianzi, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, bowed and bowed deeply.
The horseman who was driving for Wei Tianzi glanced at Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and then lifted the curtain of the jade chariot.
This person is not an ordinary groom, it is Li Cheng, the president of the Three Guards Army, and Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, who used to be the head of the sect. At the same time, he is also the governor of the imperial hunt, and all affairs during the imperial hunt are under the jurisdiction of this uncrowned general.
"The king of Nanliang is flat."
The car tent was raised, and the figure of Wei Tianzi appeared in the jade chariot, and he smiled and praised Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang: "The king of Southern Liang has gone to the northern frontier this time, and he has worked hard, and after Xia Hunt returns to Daliang, I will definitely be rewarded." And before that, I invited the king of Nanliang to hunt together, I don't know if the king of Nanliang is willing? ”
"Solid wishes." Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, lowered his head and seemed to accept Wei Tianzi's invitation obediently.
Wei Tianzi nodded with satisfaction, and then, Li Cheng, who was in charge of controlling the jade chariot, lowered the curtain and slowly drove the jade chariot to the Zhongyang Palace.
From beginning to end, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, stood on the side of the road, quietly watching the jade chariot drive away.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel something, turned his head and took a look, just in time to see Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Hongxuan brothers, and a few carriages of their group.
"Huh." Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, smiled slightly at Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan, with a faint hint of inexplicability in his smile.
"This guy ......" Zhao Hongxuan's face became even more gloomy, and he involuntarily clenched his fists.
For Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, the third uncle who once saw his brother Zhao Hongrun die, Zhao Hongxuan was extremely disgusted in his heart, and the two sides had some friction with each other in Tianmen Pass, resulting in Zhao Hongxuan's dislike of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, even more than the reputation of King Yong.
After all, in Zhao Hongxuan's eyes, although Yongwang Hongyu was insidious, he did not do anything unfavorable to his brother Zhao Hongrun, but Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was really true at the beginning, and he couldn't save his brother Zhao Hongrun when he saw death.
"Huh." Noticing his brother's actions, Zhao Hongrun slapped his brother's arm with his backhand, signaling him to pay attention to the occasion.
You must know that at this moment, there are all local or foreign celebrities and aristocrats in Daliang, if his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan makes any unwise moves, it will inevitably be true.
After all, no matter how you say it, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, is also the third uncle of their brothers and an elder, so even if there is all the dissatisfaction in his heart, at least in front of the public, he still has to cover it up.
"Humph!" After receiving a reminder from his brother, Zhao Hongxuan reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart, but he still couldn't help but snort lightly.
Looking at Zhao Hongxuan's appearance, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, didn't care, but laughed even more.
"Have fun."
When Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, drove by on horse, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, said with a light smile as if the elders were telling the juniors.
It can be clearly seen that Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, glanced back at Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and his handsome face seemed to be a little distorted because of annoyance.
Because he instinctively felt that there was an inexplicable malice in the seemingly insipid words of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang.
It was Zhao Hongrun, who frowned and glanced at Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, when he drove by, and muttered secretly in his heart: Have fun...... What does that mean?
For some reason, Zhao Hongrun felt that the words of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, seemed to have some deep meaning.
But when he was about to ponder carefully, the urging voice of his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan came from the front, so he didn't care about it, and shook the reins to catch up.
Looking at the backs of Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan brothers leaving, the smile on the face of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, slowly retracted, at this time, his eyes glanced at the imperial hunting team like a long dragon, and when he saw the figure of Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Yi, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and in a voice that only he could hear, he muttered: "Have fun...... This time the royal hunt is very interesting. ”
It may be that he felt the eyes of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Zhao Yuanlian, the king of Yi, who was talking to Zhao Sheng, the king of Zhujun, turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang.
As soon as their eyes made contact, they quickly staggered.
At the same time, the two brothers Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan followed the large team of the emperor and had already seen the outline of the Zhongyang Palace from a distance.
And the Son of Heaven Jade Rim in front of the imperial hunting team has already driven to the outside of the city wall of Zhongyang Palace.
On the jade chariot, Wei Tianzi lifted the curtain, glanced up at the outer city wall of the Yangxing Palace, and then said lightly: "I, I don't like this place." ”
At this time, on the jade chariot, there were two concubines, not the queen or Shi, but the two concubines who had no quarrel with the world in the palace, but no one dared to provoke them - Shen Shufei and Wu Guifei.
"Your Majesty?" Wu Guifei asked in a small and puzzled voice, but was dissuaded by Shen Shufei gently waving her hand.
Concubine Shen knew her man very well, whenever the man fell into deep thought and muttered something inexplicable, they just had to listen to it, forget about it after listening, and don't mention it in the future.
"You know what?" Wei Tianzi glanced at Concubine Shen Shu and Concubine Wu, and said in a mocking tone: "There was once a person who wanted to train an army no less than Wei Wujun here, and even trained himself, but what was the result? It was only three months before he gave up...... His stupid idea made the imperial court spend a lot of money to build this fortress-like military camp, and in the end, he converted this fortress-like military camp into a hunting palace, with the so-called Yangwu guards, galloping the hunting grounds, entertaining himself...... Hehehehe, I don't like this place, but every time I come here, I feel very happy...... Do you know why the two concubines love? ”
Since she had already been reminded by Concubine Shen Shu, Concubine Wu did not intervene rashly this time, but just listened quietly.
Sure enough, Wei Tianzi didn't wait for them to answer, so he muttered to himself.
I'm afraid that Concubine Shen Shu and Concubine Wu never imagined that the person in Wei Tianzi's mouth was his father, Zhao Kang, the first king of Wei.
Yes, this Zhongyang Palace, located more than 30 miles northeast of Zhongyang County, was built by Zhao Hongrun's grandfather, Zhao Yuanxi, the father of Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, and Zhao Kang, the emperor of Wei State, after the battle of Shangdang in Wei and Han.
In the battle of Wei and Han Shangdang, Wei was defeated by the Korean iron cavalry, and the pride of the Wei people Wei Wu army was wiped out, which was also an extremely heavy blow to the previous Wei king Zhao Kang, after all, it is said that it was precisely because of Zhao Kang's blind arrogance, thinking that the Wei Wu army was invincible, and rashly engaged the new cavalry of South Korea, which led to the tragedy that made the whole Wei people feel sad - the most powerful Wei Wu army of the Wei army at that time, driving thousands of chariots, commanding tens of thousands of brave men, and tens of thousands of Korean cavalry to fight, In the end, it was crushed by the Korean iron cavalry, and the whole army was annihilated.
Therefore, afterwards, Zhao Kang ignored the dissuasion of hundreds of officials, spent money to build Yangwu City, and even personally put on it, hoping to train another army here, so that the Wei Wu army could be resurrected, and the shame of the disastrous defeat of the Wei and Han Shangdang battles was brought back from Korea.
It is a pity that at that time, the Wei Wujun concentrated the most outstanding men of the Wei State, and at that time, all the children of the domestic martial arts were determined to defect to the Wei Wu Army, which led to the annihilation of the Wei Wu Army, and the military talents of the Wei State were dealt a heavy blow.
Although Zhao Kang promoted some generals to assist in the training of the new Yangwu Army, in the end, the results of the training did not satisfy Zhao Kang.
As a result, Zhao Kang's original enthusiasm was extinguished, and he returned to Daliang.
A few years later, Yangwu City was rebuilt into a hunting palace, called Zhongyang Xinggong or Zhongyang Hunting Palace, and the Yangwu army, which had been pinned on by Zhao Kang and hoped to be comparable to the Wei Wu army, was also reduced to a guard who guarded and managed the Zhongyang hunting ground.
Every time he came here, every time he thought about it, Wei Tianzi Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help but want to laugh.
The only regret is that the object of his ridicule is long gone.
"Humph!"
After snorting coldly, Wei Tianzi instructed Li Cheng, the president of the Three Guards Army, who acted as a groom: "Enter the city!" ”
"Yes!"
Li Cheng responded, and slowly entered Yangwu City, or rather, Zhongyang Palace.
I have to say that the reason why this hunting palace, which has existed for decades, can still remain the same today, Zhao Yuanxi has to allocate a large amount of money from the private treasury in charge of the inner chamberlain every year to repair it, but Zhao Yuanxi never regrets it.
Because whenever he came here, his ears seemed to echo the vicious curses of some people, and it was these vicious curses that inspired him and encouraged him to conscientiously handle government affairs in the Vertical Arch Hall for twenty years.
I remember that Zhao Hongrun once said that if he wanted to stay in the narrow room of the Vertical Arch Hall day after day, reviewing those pieces that could not be completed in his life, he would go crazy, and in fact, Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, was also bored several times.
But every time he thought of those vicious curses, Zhao Yuanxi's heart was filled with motivation again.
Compared with Wei Tianzi Zhao Yuanxi's complicated mood when he came to this palace, the brothers Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan were mostly excited.
Among them, the most excited is Zhao Hongrun.
Because in the past few years, except for a few years such as Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Chu Xuancheng, who led the army to attack, Wei Tianzi has organized the imperial hunt in the rest of the years, but unfortunately, Zhao Hongrun has not had the opportunity to participate every time, either he is leading the army to fight, or he is dealing with the finishing work after the war abroad, so that every time he returns to Daliang, he can only look at those participants with envy, jealousy and hatred.
The only hunting memory comparable to the Emperor's Hunt was the Chenggao Hunting of the Year, but the hunting was disturbed by a patriarch of the Horn tribe called Bitattu and a Korean horse thief named Huanhu.
This time, I'm going to have a good time.
Looking at the towering palace pavilion in Yangwu City, Zhao Hongrun secretly rubbed his hands.
At the same time, in the prison of Dali Temple in Daliang City, Tong Xin, the right commander of the Gong Wei Division, came to the prison with several imperial guards and asked the jailers in the prison: "Where is the left attendant of the original Ministry of Officials, Xi Jiang, where is he imprisoned?" ”
In the prison not far away, Sun Luo rolled over from the grass bunk and got up, stood by the cell door and carefully looked at Tong Xin, the right commander of the Gong Wei Division, and his party.
These people ...... Who is it?
