"King Su? But Zhao Hongrun, the king of the Great Liang? ”

Zhao Chengxiu, the prince of Yuanyang Wang, squinted his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

Where did those guards know the grievances between His Royal Highness the Prince of the Family and His Royal Highness King Su, and when they heard this, they affirmed: "It was King Su Hongrun who repelled the Chu army a while ago!" …… Does Your Highness want to wake up the prince? ”

"......" Zhao Chengxiu squinted his eyes and touched his chin, and said in a strange tone: "You go back." ”

The captain of the guard army saw the expression of His Royal Highness the prince of his own family, his face showed a little surprise, and he lowered his voice and reminded: "Your Highness, that is King Su......"

Hearing this, Zhao Chengxiu glanced coldly at the captain of the guard army, and said lightly: "Is it difficult for this son of the world to ask you to teach you to do things?!" ”

Hearing this, a little cold sweat oozed from the head of the guard commander, and he hurriedly knocked on the ground and confessed: "Don't dare to be lowly in your position!" ”

"Let's go down!"

“…… Be. ”

With a few guards, the captain left with a look of hesitation.

Looking at the back of the departing group, Zhao Chengxiu had a look of revenge on his face, and muttered: "It was in Daliang at the beginning, but now, it is in my Yuanyang...... Hmph, take it with you outside the city, Zhao Hongrun! ”

After that, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a maid in the palace walking in front of him, and the other party's charming face made Zhao Chengxiu's eyes light up.

"Who's that, come here."

The maid stopped and pointed at herself suspiciously.

Seeing this, Zhao Chengxiu said with a smile: "Yes, it's you, come to this world." ”

"Yes." The maid was not reluctant, walked up to Zhao Chengxiu with a shy, sat on his lap according to his wishes, and let him be light with a shy face.

"Your Highness seems to be in a good mood today?"

"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhao Chengxiu laughed twice. His right hand unscrupulously stretched out into the clothes of the maid in his arms, and wantonly kneaded the two firm and soft parts of his chest, but in his mind, he imagined the scene of Zhao Hongrun waiting outside the city with a calm face, and he laughed out loud.

As Zhao Chengxiu guessed, Zhao Hongrun's carriage was parked outside the main city of the country at the moment.

Even to show their sincerity. Zhao Hongrun also specially walked down from under the carriage and stood under the city.

After all, if he wanted to come, if Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang, learned that he was coming to visit, there was a chance that he would personally go out of the city to greet him, after all, Zhao Hongrun thought that his name as the king of Su still had some effect near Daliang.

When the time comes, he will stand outside the city, waiting for the arrival of Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang, which can fully demonstrate his sincerity and make the subsequent negotiations smoother.

It's a pity. Zhao Hongrun didn't know that Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang, had always had the habit of taking a nap, and besides, because of the relationship between Zhao Chengxiu, the son of the king of Yuanyang, those guards did not really convey the news of "King Su came to visit" to Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang.

Otherwise, Zhao Hongrun would not have waited stupidly outside the city any longer.

During the dry period, Zhao Hongrun passed the time by looking at the main city in front of him and calculating its floor area.

According to what he saw when he came. The main city of the country is about a mile in the east, west, north and south, and it is roughly estimated that it is about 3780 acres. Although this area is only about half of Yuanyang County, it is undeniable that it is larger than Zhao Hongrun's ten Suwang Mansions.

I have to say that relying on the taxes of those people in Yuanyang alone is not enough to maintain this main city.

The fact is that this is the original Yang King lineage. In fact, he was one of the big nobles who "controlled the money-making business in the Great Wei Dynasty" in Zhao Hongrun's mouth.

In the line of the Yuanyang King, they have merchants and caravans under their own names, and the taxes of the local people are actually just a symbolic meaning, which is better than nothing.

Of course. In fact, speaking of which, the line of the Yuan Yang King is not an ordinary Ji surname.

You must know that in the territory of the Great Wei, not all the bloodlines of the Ji surname Zhao enjoy the feudal country, at least in recent decades, or even in the past hundred years, the emperors of the Great Wei Dynasty have not really rewarded a certain person surnamed Ji with land, after all, it seems to be this kind of feudal country, it is permanent, once it is sealed, unless the Ji surname of this branch of the clan breaks off the bloodline, otherwise, the country has no way to take it back.

Therefore, whether it is the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty or the imperial court, they are very cautious about this kind of thing, and will never easily reward the land of the people surnamed Ji, even if the other party has made any contributions, at most it is just a reward for gold and silver treasures.

But in this case, where did the feudal kingdom of Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang, come from?

The answer is, legacy!

I believe that many people feel puzzled, wondering why the feudal kingdom of Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang, is so close to Daliang, is it because of the special status of this clansman surnamed Ji?

In fact, this statement is wrong, it is not that the Yuan Yang Kingdom is close to the Great Liang, but that the Great Liang is close to the Yuan Yang Kingdom.

To put it bluntly, it is the original Yang Kingdom that came first, and then the big beam.

Da Liang, why is it called Da Liang, not Da Wei, Da Zhao or something else?

In fact, the reason is very simple, because the land of Daliang was the territory of Liang in ancient times, and the people surnamed Zhao came out of Longxi and conquered this land, and then established the capital on this land called Liangdi at that time, so this royal capital was called Daliang.

For example, if one day, the next king of Wei or the next king of Wei feels that the position of Daliang is not good, and is ready to move the royal capital to the current Song land, then the future Wei king capital will continue to use the current name for those cities in the Song land.

Yes, although the Liang people, Zheng people and other people have long been integrated into the Wei people, to be precise, the Ji surname Zhao belongs to outsiders in this land, the source of the Wei people, in the desolate land of Longxi.

In order to commend the merits of the Ji family, the king of Wei at that time divided a large area of land near Yuanyang into each other and named him the king, which was used to inspire the rest of the Ji people.

As the Wei people gradually conquered the Liang State and the Zheng State, the original old royal capital was beyond the reach of the occupied land, so the successive Wei kings successively moved the royal capital from Longxi to the east, and finally established the royal capital in Daliang, a land with abundant water sources and convenient water transportation.

Therefore, it is the original Yang Kingdom that came first. Later, the Wei kings were all beams.

If it weren't for this, no country would normally place a feudal state so close to the royal capital.

"It's strange, why hasn't the Yuan Yang King come out yet?"

Just as Zhao Hongrun was looking at the main city of the Yuanyang Kingdom in front of him, Zong Wei Shen Yu beside him muttered in confusion.

You know, they've been waiting outside the city for about half an hour, this time. The beams are large enough to be many times larger than this city, and the news has been transmitted from the city gate to the palace.

『……』

Zhao Hongrun was silent when he heard this.

He originally thought that Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang, would immediately go out of the city to greet him after hearing the news of his visit, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.

But despite this, he had no idea of going back to the carriage, because it seemed to him too stupid.

"Go and urge."

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Hongrun said lightly.

"Yes."

Shen Yu nodded, and walked towards the captain of the guard army that he had just negotiated. hugged his fists and greeted: "This brother, did you really tell your prince the news that His Royal Highness my family came to visit?" ”

The captain of the guard army secretly complained in his heart, because only a few of them knew that the news was not conveyed to the king of Yuanyang, but was intercepted by their royal highness Zhao Chengxiu.

The question is, how dare he tell Shen Yu about this?

After thinking about it, he smiled reluctantly: "Why don't I go and take a look again?" ”

Shen Yu was stunned. didn't think much about it, and politely hugged his fists and said: "There is Brother Lao." He said. He took out a few small ingots of silver from his bosom and secretly stuffed them into the other party's hands.

"It's hot to hold this money......

The captain of the guard army sighed secretly, but he didn't dare to refuse, so as not to arouse Shen Yu's suspicion, so he pretended to excuse himself and accepted it.

At this moment, he can only pin his hopes on His Royal Highness Zhao Chengxiu.

He took the two guards with him. Back in the city again, back to the Yuanyang Palace.

In the front hall of the original hall, the captain of the guard saw that his Royal Highness, the son of their family, was smiling and amusing when he was holding a maid.

"Your Highness."

The captain of the guard hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Probably interrupted by someone to have fun with the maid, Zhao Chengxiu, the prince of the Yuanyang Wang, turned his head unhappily and saw the captain of the guard army at a glance.

I saw him look at the guard commander with a smile. Asked, "How long has Zhao Hongrun been waiting outside the city?" ”

"It's been more than half an hour, Your Highness." As he spoke, the Captain of the Guards raised his head and cautiously added, "According to what I have seen, that King Su and several of the sect guards around him are already a little impatient. ”

"If you're impatient, go back." Zhao Chengxiu pinched the face of the beautiful maid in his arms, and said lightly: "Go back and tell him, just say that my father is taking a nap and has no time to see him." ”

When the captain of the guard army heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he said in his heart, If I really say that, those few sect guards who don't seem to have a good temper will have to draw their swords and cut me down on the spot?

It's no wonder, after all, in order to appease Zhao Hongrun and the others, the commander of the guard army pretended to say that the former Yang King had learned about the matter, and now if he really replied to Zhao Hongrun and the others according to what Zhao Chengxiu said, wouldn't it mean that he was playing with that Su King?

"Your Royal Highness, isn't this okay? I thought that it was better to inform the prince, in case the king of Su really came for something important, wouldn't it be a mistake? ”

"......" Zhao Chengxiu glanced at the captain of the guard army when he heard this, and asked coldly: "Have you received benefits from others?" ”

Hearing this, the captain of the guard army couldn't help but ooze cold sweat on his forehead again, he didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly took out a few small ingots of silver from his arms.

"Humph!" Zhao Chengxiu saw the silver, and his heart was even more angry: If Zhao Hongrun can't be a man, it doesn't matter, but he can be a man, but last time, he refused to give them a share of the huge amount of money he got from the Chu State, so that he Zhao Chengxiu lost face in front of his brothers and cousins, and a group of people ran to the beam in vain, but they didn't even get a single hair.

He grew angrier and made up his mind not to pay any attention to it.

Suddenly, his heart moved.

"It's strange, I hung that Zhao Hongrun for more than half an hour, and I didn't see him leave angrily...... Looks like he's got something to ask for.'"

Rolling his eyes, Zhao Chengxiu showed a strange smile on his face.

"There is no need to inform my father about this matter, you bring that Zhao Hongrun in, and this son will come to meet him!" (To be continued.) )
