With the support of his father, Zhao Hongrun finally felt a little more at ease.

But despite this, when he arrived at the Zongfu and met his second uncle Zhao Yuanyan under the guidance of several Zongwei Yu Lin Lang, the stiff face on the second uncle's face like a wood carving still made Zhao Hongrun feel a little weak.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, the place where the second uncle Zhao Yuanyan met Zhao Hongrun this time was still in front of the flower garden he cultivated himself, which made Zhao Hongrun secretly relieved.

After all, what he was most worried about was that the second uncle would meet him in a dark and oppressive secret room like the Meditation Room, because it would make him feel stressed.

"Zongzheng, King Su has arrived."

Those Zong Wei led Zhao Hongrun to Zhao Yuanyan, and immediately, one of the Zong Wei took a few steps forward and whispered a few words in the latter's ear.

At that moment, Zhao Hongrun clearly noticed that his second uncle, Zhao Hongrun, frowned and glanced at him.

"It seems that that Zongwei is telling the second uncle about Zhou Ji, the commander of the Lang Wei army......

Zhao Hongrun secretly guessed in his heart.

After all, Lang Wei, who has never left the palace, made an exception to send him to the Zongfu this time, and it was personally led by Zhou Ji, the commander of Lang Wei's army, Zhao Hongrun didn't believe that the second uncle in front of him couldn't guess the deep meaning behind this move.

"I see, you can stand down."

After nodding slightly, Zhao Yuanyan dismissed the guards.

After that, he turned around, stared at Zhao Hongrun intently, and said expressionlessly: "It seems that you are not ignorant of the importance ......."

"What is the second uncle referring to?"

Zhao Hongrun asked with a confused expression.

In fact, of course, he could understand the deep meaning of the second uncle's words, but he could only pretend to be ignorant and innocent, and he didn't dare to show the slightest smugness.

You know, don't look at the fact that he has now won the support of his father, Emperor Wei Tianzi, but in fact. In dealing with the intra-clan contradictions of the Zhao family surnamed Ji, his father, Emperor Wei Tianzi, may not have more say than the second uncle in front of him.

After all, Wei Tianzi is only the king in charge of the affairs of the Wei state, while Zong Zheng is an elder-like figure who is in charge of the affairs of the Zhao clan surnamed Ji, and the two cannot be compared.

Therefore, in the case of last resort, Zhao Hongrun did not want to personally express his father's support. is used to suppress the second uncle in front of him, which will only make things go badly.

Of course, it doesn't hurt to hint slightly, just as Wei Tianzi asked Zhou Ji, the commander of the Lang Wei Army, to personally escort his son Zhao Hongrun to the Zongfu, his intention was nothing more than to release a signal to Zhao Yuanyan, so as long as Zhao Hongrun was not too complacent, his second uncle Zhao Yuanyan would not be too harsh for Wei Tianzi's face.

"This little slippery ......"

Zhao Yuanyan frowned and stared at Zhao Hongrun, the nephew.

In all fairness. He still has a good impression of this nephew, after all, the other party is the leader of his clan surnamed Zhao, and there are very few who can be compared, if nothing else, the future Great Wei is bound to be shouldered by these excellent and outstanding young generations, but he is not happy about the cunning of this son at a young age.

Perhaps few people know. But in fact, Zhao Hongrun is the second uncle. In his opinion, to be a man is to be upright, stand up to the sky, and not slanted, and any means of power and conspiracy are just "cunning" in his eyes.

And what made him even more unswerving. The little nephew in front of him has obviously been influenced by those family mottos, and there are already some signs of "unscrupulous means to achieve the end".

No, just now he heard the Zongwei report in a low voice that his nephew came to his sect's mansion this time. It turned out to be personally escorted by Zhou Ji, the commander of the Lang Wei Army, what does it mean?

This means that this kid had already guessed the purpose of his summoning him to the sect mansion in advance, and found a solid backer one step ahead.

This point was really unexpected by him Zhao Yuanyan.

And, let him be slightly angry.

Just as Zhao Hongrun once speculated about Zhao Yuanyan, the second uncle, Zhao Yuanyan is the second brother of Zhao Yuanxi, the current king of the Great Wei Dynasty, but although he is a brother, Zhao Yuanyan is far less enlightened than Zhao Yuanxi.

Of course, this is also the reason why Zhao Yuanxi was favored by the elders of the Zhao family surnamed Ji and was elected as the Zongzheng of the Zongfu.

To put it simply, perhaps Great Wei needs a pioneering spirit of Mingjun, but Ji, surnamed Zhao, does not need a radical helmsman.

It is no wonder that after all, the Zhao family surnamed Ji is strong enough in the Great Wei, as long as the imperial power is still in the hands of the clansmen of this family, then it is impossible for this family to weaken. Therefore, it is far more appropriate to choose a stable and conservative family at the helm than to choose a radical person.

Therefore, Zhao Yuanyan, who was trained to be at the helm of the Ji surnamed Zhao family, gradually moved closer to the old-fashioned and stubborn older generation of Ji surnamed Zhao clansmen under the influence of the elders in the clan, which is why Zhao Hongrun dislikes the atmosphere of the clan very much, and is afraid of his second uncle Zhao Yuanyan.

And it seems that such stubborn and conservative elders, what they hate the most is the "yin and yang violations" of the younger generations in the clan, just like what Zhao Hongrun is doing now, although he agreed to come to the Zongfu, but before that, he first went to the Vertical Arch Hall to obtain the secret support of the Emperor of Great Wei.

It seems that this kind of behavior is intolerable to Zhao Yuanyan.

After all, the imperial power of the Ji surname Zhao cannot override the clan power of the Ji surname Zhao, and the two are equal.

And Zhao Hongrun's move to use the imperial power of Wei Tianzi to suppress the authority of the Zongfu is a violation of the "rules" at worst, and it has affected the tacit understanding between the imperial power and the Zongfu well water not to violate the river water in the past.

Provoking the Zongfu, this crime is no less than the so-called crime of bullying the monarch for the people of the Zhao clan surnamed Ji, and it is not impossible to be imprisoned for a few years depending on the severity of the situation.

However, fortunately, Zhao Hongrun took the initiative to shoulder the national disaster last time, led the Junshui Army to repel Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, and raised the army to counterattack into the Chu State, which earned him a lot of good impressions in the Zongfu, even if his second uncle Zhao Yuanyan didn't like his lawless and unscrupulous behavior sometimes, he would open up a little.

"At what cost did you convince your father?"

After staring at Zhao Hongrun for a while, Zhao Yuanyan asked in a deep voice.

Because in his opinion, even if it was father and son, if Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, didn't get anything, he wouldn't have signaled to the sect so clearly, implying favoritism.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun's face couldn't help but look a little scared, he didn't hide it, and said truthfully: "My father wants to take away eighty percent of the profits of Bolangsha and Xiangfugang in the future." ”

『……』

Zhao Yuanyan's face was slightly stunned, and his expression gradually softened a little.

After all, he also knew the severity, and in his opinion, if the imperial court got eighty percent of the profits of the two river ports, he believed that the treasury would be more abundant, and the whole country would inevitably increase at a faster rate.

But on the other hand, now even Wei Tianzi and the imperial court have intervened in this matter, and secretly support Zhao Hongrun for the sake of that huge profit, which means that it is even more difficult for the sect to ask Zhao Hongrun to return Bolangsha to the king of Huiyang.

To tell the truth, Zhao Yuanyan naturally knew that once his nephew Zhao Hongrun invested a lot of money in Bolangsha to build a river port, then this river port would definitely become a huge source of profit in the future.

If he started from his heart, he would naturally prefer to hand over this money to the Great Wei treasury rather than to the branch of the Yuan Yang King surnamed Zhao, but the problem is that this kind of precedent for encroaching on the land of the feudal state cannot be opened, because it will cause unease among other feudal kings in the country.

I have to say that this is the difference caused by the different perspectives of the two brothers Zhao Yuanyan and Zhao Yuanxi: Zhao Yuanyan, as the Zongzheng of the Zongfu, can be called the helmsman of the Zhao family surnamed Ji, and he cares more about the internal harmony and unity of the entire huge clan; And Zhao Yuanxi, as the king of the Great Wei, first considered the entire Great Wei, the foundation that the ancestors had worked hard for, the Jiangshan Sheji, and then it was the turn of the Ji family and the Zhao family.

"Yesterday, the King of Yuanyang sent someone to send a letter over, and the letter said, you ...... You fooled his son Zhao Chengxiu and made him sell a river beach called Bolangsha in the eastern suburbs of Yuanyang to you for 150,000 taels of silver, and it seems that this matter is true. Zhao Yuanyan sighed slightly.

However, hearing this, Zhao Hongrun immediately shook his head and denied it, "Although the little nephew did buy Bolangsha with 150,000 taels of silver, but first of all, it was not the little nephew who mentioned it, but Zhao Chengxiu took the initiative to speak; Secondly, the little nephew never fooled or coaxed Zhao Chengxiu to sell Bolangsha to me. …… These two charges cannot be imposed on the second uncle. ”

"But you didn't remind him the whole time, did you?" Zhao Yuanyan asked in a complicated tone.

Zhao Hongrun heard this, and laughed: "If you want to blame, you can only blame him for his eyes and eyes, and his eyes are difficult to distinguish gold beads, what does it have to do with me?" …… Could it be that the second uncle wants his nephew to be punished for the stupidity of others? ”

"I heard that this son has sharp teeth, and sure enough......

Zhao Yuanyan was a little speechless, after all, if this matter was really brought up by Zhao Chengxiu, then it really had nothing to do with Zhao Hongrun, just like the latter said, he could only blame the other party for being stupid.

But the problem is that Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang, is not his son Zhao Chengxiu, as soon as he heard that Bolangsha was going to build a river port, he also realized the value of this land in the future, and asked the Zongfu to come forward to recover the land deed.

And at this moment, Zhao Hongrun suddenly stretched out his hand and handed a stone that could be seen everywhere to Zhao Yuanyan.

At the same time, he said lightly: "In fact, the second uncle doesn't need to work hard about this, in the eyes of the little nephew, this matter is easy to solve." ”

"......" Zhao Yuan took the ordinary stone in confusion, and looked at the nephew in front of him suspiciously.

I saw that Zhao Hongrun showed a bit of ridicule on his face, pouted and sneered: "As long as the little nephew cancels the plan to build a river port in Bolangsha, won't this matter be solved?!" …… This well has not yet been excavated by my smelting bureau, and an irrelevant guy is trying to jump out and grab water to drink! It's ridiculous! ”

『……』

Zhao Yuanyan's color changed slightly, and his face was faintly a little unbearable. (To be continued.) )
