Chapter 1050: Prologue to the Secret Dispute (2)

At the beginning of October, when the subjects of Wei were still immersed in the joy of the "great victory of Wei and Korea", the pattern of the Great Liang had gradually become a little treacherous. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because a while ago, because of the "Weihan Border City", King Yongwang Hongyu and King Xiangwang Hongjing both sent people to northern Xinjiang, and it seems that this kind of strange thing made the Liang Dynasty and the opposition feel a little suspicious.

It stands to reason that although the matter of the 'mutual market between the two countries' is urgent, it will not reach the point where the two highnesses send people at the same time, which is a bit unruly.

But Yongwang Hongyu and Xiangwang Hongjing did this, which made the court and the opposition vaguely feel that these two highnesses had a faint sign of disagreement.

In fact, since Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, issued a letter of guilt and removed himself from the position of prince and prince, the relationship between Yongwang Hongyu and Xiangwang Hongjing, the two former princes, has rapidly cooled, but despite this, Xiangwang Hongjing has not made a clear decision to stay away from Yongwang Hongyu.

But this time, Xiangwang Hongjing and Yongwang Hongyu each sent people to northern Xinjiang, but the opposition between the two could be faintly seen.

Supporting Yongwang Hongyu or Xiangwang Hongjing is a difficult problem facing the DPRK and Chinese officials today.

It is true that after Yongwang Hongyu won the honor of supervising the country, Xiangwang Hongjing's power was obviously insufficient, but the problem is that Xiangwang Hongjing is not the one who really wants to compete with Yongwang Hongyu for the throne.

I believe that Qingwang Hongxin is the one who really wants to compete with Yongwang Hongyu for the throne.

And the power of this highness is only stronger than that of King Yong.

First of all, Qingwang Hongxin was the prince who chose to join the military department, although after the creation of the "General's Mansion", the authority of the military department plummeted, but now, the military department has faintly shown that it wants to erect the "General's Mansion", the courtiers do not believe that there will be no support from Qingwang Hongxin behind this move - without the strong support of Qingwang Hongxin, Li Wei, the secretary of the military department, has the courage to offend the "General's Mansion"?

Some people even speculate that the Ministry of War did not immediately erect the General's Mansion, just because he was afraid of the "Great General Shaohu", after all, the Great General Shaohu is currently the only general enshrined in the "General's Mansion", and it is the current façade of this military mansion - the General's Mansion is Zhengchao Wendong, and the guy who was kicked into the canal by Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, has now become a laughing stock in the government and the opposition, and what face is there to speak of.

In addition to the military department, Qingwang Hongxin also received the support of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Wei Gang, the head of the Wei family in Tianshui, who clearly stated their positions.

Maybe some people don't know who the "Wei Gang, the head of the Wei family in Tianshui" is, but those who know will never underestimate "Wei Fu", because Wei Fu of the Wei family in Tianshui is the financier behind the Northern Second Army led by General Jiang Wei.

Why could Jiang Wei tolerate the Northern First Army snatching the profits of his Northern Second Army during the first Northern Frontier Campaign? The reason is that the Northern Second Army has the wealth support of the Tianshui Wei clan behind it, so Jiang Yan would rather give up the war profits than offend Zhao Hongli, the former prince who commanded the Northern First Army at that time, and Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan.

Don't look at the monarch of the Wei clan in Longxi as 'Wei Jiao', but in fact, Wei Jiao has already lost power, first of all, the sect of Wei will not allow this monarch to maintain a lofty position consistent with Wei Tianzi, after all, there are no two heavens and no two masters of the country.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, coerced and lured Wei to retire from the position of the monarch's father.

And now, Wei Jiao's identity as the monarch of the Wei clan in Longxi, who has long since given up, is honestly his rich man, whether it is him or his heirs, it is almost impossible to enter the Wei court.

In this case, Wei Gang, the head of the Wei family in Tianshui, has faintly become the leader of the Wei clan in Longxi, if it weren't for the fact that the Wei court had banned the status of the monarch's father, otherwise, this position should belong to Wei Gang.

And under the integration of Wei Gang, the twelve branches of the Wei clan in Longxi, in order to survive the suppression of the Zhao clan, have gradually integrated into a force, after all, the Zhao clan has become stronger in the clan after accepting the three branches of the Zhao clan in Longxi, including Zhao Sheng, the monarch of the Zhu Dynasty, if the Wei clan in Longxi is still as loose or even antagonistic as before, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be broken and annexed by the Zhao clan one by one.

It is precisely because of this change that in today's Wei State, after the Ji Zhao royal family, the Ji Wei family has also become a huge force, but this force has not yet been accepted by the Ji Zhao royal family in Wei State, and even many people in the Ji Zhao family still regard the Ji Wei family as an outsider who tries to "occupy the magpie's nest", such as Zhao Hongrun's third uncle Zhao Laiyu.

But no matter what, the current power of the Wei clan in Longxi is still very large, and their only flaw is that they cannot penetrate the internal affairs of the Ji Zhao clan and cannot get the support of the Ji Zhao clan.

It may be for this reason that Wei Gang, the head of the Tianshui Wei family, decided to support the fifth son of the emperor, Qingwang Hongxin, if they can finally push Qingwang Hongxin to the throne, I believe that the Longxi Wei clan will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Wei State, and even if the Ji Zhao clan can't get used to them anymore, they will not be able to expel them.

And after getting the support of the Wei clan in Longxi, King Hongxin, who was once inconspicuous, suddenly formed a huge force no less than Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su - Zhao Hongrun has 100,000 Su Wang troops under his command, and Zhao Hongxin also has the support of 100,000 troops of the Northern Second Army and the Northern Third Army.

In this case, even if it is Yongwang Hongyu, who has won the honor of supervising the country, the power may not be stronger than Qingwang Hongxin, not to mention, Xiangwang Hongjing has faintly stated his position and is ready to stand on the side of Qingwang Hongxin.

I have to say that the "Dongyong Dispute" has become a thing of the past, and now in Daliang, the "Yongqing Dispute" has gradually kicked off, and the Yongwang Party, which was once weak in front of the Donggong Party, seems to have become the defender of the title, trying its best to suppress the Qingwang Party that is trying to challenge their position.

It is precisely for this reason that the relationship between the Criminal Department and the Military Department, the two imperial ministries and governments, which were originally incompatible, has recently become quite stiff.

In the face of this general trend, the former East Palace Party and Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, seem to have been forgotten, so that even if Zhao Hongli closed the door of the mansion and grounded himself for one year has expired, this matter has not attracted much attention in the government and the opposition.

It seems that the government and the opposition do not think that after the former East Palace prince Zhao Hongli appears again, it can cause an uproar in the government and the opposition, and more people are still paying attention to the battle between King Yong and King Qing.

After learning about this, Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, was inevitably a little disappointed.

I remember that after he fulfilled his self-confinement for a year as a punishment a while ago, he thought that someone would come to visit him and visit him, but as a result, the Liang government and the opposition were paying attention to Yongwang Hongyu and Qingwang Hongjing, as if the government and the opposition had forgotten that there was such a person as him.

According to Zhao Hongli's previous temperament, the decorations in the eldest prince's mansion would definitely suffer, but this time, Zhao Hongli just felt lost.

I have to say that in the past year, Zhao Hongli, accompanied by his staff member Luo Ying, has been studying and practicing calligraphy every day, cultivating himself, not to mention how much he has improved in terms of talent and learning, at least his mental nature has been greatly improved.

On this day, seeing that Zhao Hongli felt lost because he was forgotten by the government and the opposition, the staff member Luo Ying smiled and persuaded: "Your Highness, this is a good thing." …… In the past, when His Royal Highness was the prince of the East Palace, he was the target of everyone, and now, the government and the opposition are all concerned about King Yong and King Qing. ”

After listening to Luo Ying's words, Zhao Hongli nodded thoughtfully, but he was still a little disappointed in his heart.

Once upon a time, he Zhao Hongligui was the prince of the East Palace, how many people flocked to him, and now, he fell into the deposed prince, the court is full of birds, except for some remnants of the East Palace Party who cannot change the court are still supporting him, the government and the opposition have almost forgotten him, and even in the officials he is in charge of, his words are no longer as effective as before.

Among the brothers, only Zhao Hongxuan, the ninth son of the emperor, was still in correspondence with him, telling the eldest brother who was trapped in Daliang about the progress of the rectification of the Northern First Army, including the experience of the Northern First Army in the Battle of Handan.

Thinking of Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, Zhao Hongli's mood suddenly improved a lot.

I remember that at the beginning, no, it should be until now, Zhao Hongrun is still suspicious of Zhao Hongli's intention to transfer the Northern First Army to Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan - Zhao Hongrun thinks that this is Li Daitao's drama, but in fact, Zhao Hongli really didn't use this matter as a bargaining chip for him to return to the imperial court.

He really let Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, take charge of the Northern First Army.

Because in Zhao Hongli's heart, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, is the only brother he trusts, and Zhao Hongli believes that Zhao Hongxuan's talent is above him and has the ability to make the Northern First Army better.

In addition, Zhao Hongli and Zhao Hongxuan have a common long-cherished wish in their hearts: to go on an expedition to South Korea!

Based on this thought, when Zhao Hongli received a letter from Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, and learned of the achievements of the Northern First Army in Handan, Zhao Hongli was extremely happy.

In fact, in the eyes of many people, the performance of the Northern First Army in this Handan Battle is average, but in Zhao Hongli's view, this is already a very huge change, after all, this time the Northern First Army is completely relying on its own strength to fight with the South Korean Army, and the results obtained are also real achievements, and there is no such thing as lying about the achievements of other friendly forces.

This one is a big boost.

Especially when Zhao Hongxuan described how he attacked Fanyang in his heart, Zhao Hongli felt as if he was in front of Fanyang City, commanding thousands of troops and horses to attack the Korean city.

It's a pity that due to the general trend of the Wu'an Han army wanting to fight a decisive battle with the Handan Wei army at that time, Zhao Hongxuan finally had no chance to conquer Fanyang and bring the army to Handan, which made Zhao Hongli regret.

At the same time, he inevitably complained a little about Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su - what are you doing in such a hurry? Can't you wait for Hongxuan to lay down the sun? Hongxuan is still your own brother!

However, Zhao Hongli also understands that this is just a complaint from a layman - if it weren't for the urgency of the situation, Zhao Hongrun, as Zhao Hongxuan's own brother, would be so likely to harm his younger brother?

No, the interests of the "Qi County Border City", Zhao Hongrun gave it to his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan without reservation, and he took people directly to Hedong.

This free and easy bearing, even Zhao Hongli admired. After all, even if he no longer understands military affairs, he is very sensitive to how much profit can be made in the "mutual market between the two countries".

And just when Zhao Hongli was talking with his staff Luo Ying about Zhao Hongxuan and the Northern First Army, the servants of the palace came in to tell him that Zhang Qigong, a staff member of King Yong, had come to pay a visit.

Suddenly, Zhao Hongli and Luo Ying glanced at each other, and their expressions became particularly strange.

"King Yong...... Can't hold on?'

The master and servant thought to themselves.
