What a trick!

Even if Zhao Hongrun is in a bad mood because of his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan's relationship at the moment, it does not prevent him from secretly admiring Yongwang Hongyu's countermeasures. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This trick is really clever!

In all fairness, has the Yongwang Party gained anything in northern Xinjiang?

Not really.

Because the commander of the Northern First Army is Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, it is destined that the Yongwang Party will not have much gain in northern Xinjiang.

Because of this, today's Yongwang Hongyu will dedicate all these gains to the imperial court, and the Yongwang Party is not distressed, anyway, there is not much to do, if you can make a good name in public opinion, why not?

You must know that the people of Wei will not know what the Yongwang Party has gained in northern Xinjiang, and they will not be violent when they think about it, they will only emphasize that it is all and all handed over to the imperial court.

And then again, can all the benefits of the Yongwang Party in Northern Xinjiang be one-tenth of that of the Donggong Party? Maybe not even a tenth.

So...... What will the Donggong Party do?

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, and the latter's uncle, Wang Yu, the reign prince of the dynasty and the head of the Zhengcheng Wang family.

There is no accident, whether it is Zhao Hongli or Wang Yu, almost everyone in the East Palace prince's family has a very ugly face.

For some reason, Zhao Hongrun faintly felt a little happy, probably because he felt that the prince of the East Palace did not know how to deceive his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan's relationship.

But when Zhao Hongrun noticed that behind Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, also had a worried look, and the joy in his heart was immediately replaced by anger.

The entire Xuanzheng Hall was silent, as if everyone was watching the East Palace Party's statement.

But whether it was Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, or Wang Yu, the head of the Wang family, he wanted to speak several times, but he didn't say anything after all.

They didn't dare, because the harvest of the Donggong Party in Northern Xinjiang was not only the harvest of the prince of the East Palace, nor the harvest of the Wang family, it was the common interest of all the powerful families attached to the East Palace.

When the Northern First Army was formed, the Donggong Party headed by the Zhengcheng Wang family, those powerful people and families, all invested a lot of manpower and material resources, if Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, and Wang Yu dared to ignore the interests of the rest of their faction, maybe the East Palace would immediately become the target of the public, and everyone would betray their relatives.

Therefore, Zhao Hongli, the crown prince of the East Palace, and his uncle Wang Yu did not express their position, but just stood there with ugly faces.

In this regard, Wei Tianzi didn't say much, but only praised the Yongwang Hongyu and the Yongwang Party headed by the Shi nobles, and then shifted the topic to the celebration banquet of Duanyang Day, saying that in order to celebrate the end of the Sanchuan Battle and the Northern Xinjiang Campaign, the imperial court let hundreds of officials in the court accompany them and set up a banquet to entertain meritorious people.

After the court meeting ended, Zhao Hongrun asked Zongwei Lu Mu and a few others to return to Suwangfu with Qu Cheng, Wu Ji and other generals, while he led Wei Jiao and others to stand outside the palace and wait for his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan.

The first to come out of the Xuanzheng Palace was the temporary winner of the Dongyong dispute, and the Yongwang was honored.

At first, seeing Zhao Hongrun standing outside the Xuanzheng Palace, King Yongwang Hongyu thought that this eighth brother was waiting for him, so he greeted him with a smile: "Hongrun, are you waiting for the foolish brother?" ”

But when he got closer, he found that Zhao Hongrun's smile was a little reluctant.

Seeing this, King Yong Hongyu glanced back as if he had comprehended, and saw Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, and Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, who were coming out of the Xuanzheng Palace, and a trace of surprise and abruptness flashed in his eyes.

In fact, when he was in the Xuanzheng Palace, he had already noticed Zhao Hongxuan standing behind the prince of the East Palace, although he was shocked in his heart, he didn't say anything.

But just because he didn't say it didn't mean he didn't have doubts in his mind.

"Hongrun, Xiao Jiu, he ......" Yongwang Hongyu said again and again: "Why didn't he join you today?" ”

Zhao Hongrun smiled reluctantly and said, "Hongxuan is the deputy marshal, and it is nothing to walk with the coach." ”

Of course, Yongwang Hongyu could see that Zhao Hongrun was insincere, patted the latter's arm and said with a smile: "Another day, Brother Fool will invite Hongrun to eat wine." ”

With that, he left with great interest.

Because he had already guessed that Zhao Hongrun was not standing here to wait for him.

Zhao Hongrun nodded, watched King Yong Hongyu walk away, and then turned his gaze to the other side, on the other side, Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, and Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, walked out of the Xuanzheng Hall together.

It can be seen that the prince of Donggong, who seems to be in a good mood before today's court meeting, has a little pale under his eyes, and he doesn't know whether he was angry with King Yong's reputation or suffered a lot in northern Xinjiang.

The group walked near the stone steps, and was about to walk down the stone steps, the prince of the East Palace, Hongli, raised his head as if he was aware of it, and when he saw Zhao Hongrun standing in front with an unkind face, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

However, he was slightly stunned, because he found that Zhao Hongrun was not looking at him, but at Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan behind him.

Sure enough, Zhao Hongrun called lightly: "Xiao Xuan, come here!" ”

Zhao Hongxuan still seemed to be a little dissatisfied and pretended not to hear.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "The court, do you want me to ask Wei Jiao and them to arrest you?" ”

Hearing this, the people of the Wang clan beside the prince of the East Palace showed a look of displeasure on their faces, but when they met Zhao Hongrun's cold eyes, they couldn't help but feel a little stunned in their hearts.

After all, His Royal Highness King Su in front of him slaughtered 200,000 Qin soldiers in Sanchuan County, and he was famous.

At this time, Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, lowered his head and whispered a few words to Zhao Hongxuan, who reluctantly walked over.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Hongrun became more and more unhappy in his heart: Since when did Donggong and Xiao Xuan become so close?

"Hongrun, congratulations on your great victory in Sanchuan County."

Before leaving, Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, came to Zhao Hongrun's side, arched his hand towards Zhao Hongrun, and congratulated him.

To Zhao Hongrun's surprise, he really heard a bit of sincerity from Zhao Hongli's words this time.

“…… Thank you, Your Highness the Prince. ”

Zhao Hongrun gave a perfunctory salute and replied expressionlessly.

In this regard, Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, didn't care either, just nodded and left with the people of the Wang family.

"......" Zhao Hongrun took a deep look at the back of the East Palace leaving, and then turned his eyes to the younger brother in front of him with his head down and his face obliquely sideways, and said in an irrefutable tone: "In the future, stay away from the East Palace!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongxuan raised his head angrily, but saw that his brother, who was very close to him in the past, was looking at him coldly, and he was inevitably a little afraid in his heart, and lowered his head silently.

Looking at Zhao Hongxuan's expression, Zhao Hongrun knew that this younger brother was just afraid of him, but in fact, he was not convinced, but because there were many people around here, and everyone was watching, he couldn't just preach here, so he softened his tone and said, "Go to Ningxiang Palace, I have something to say to you on the way." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hongxuan replied softly.

So, Zhao Hongrun left with his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan.

On the way to Ningxiang Palace, when passing by a deserted garden, Zhao Hongrun stopped and said to Zhao Hongxuan, who was following behind: "Not convinced? ”

Zhao Hongxuan pursed his lips and said angrily: "From childhood to adulthood, what does my brother say, what do I do, what's there to be unconvinced?" ”

"Are you not convinced?" Zhao Hongrun smiled and waved his hand to signal the guards of the two to be under martial law around them to prevent irrelevant people from coming.

Immediately, he pulled Zhao Hongxuan to the stone table in the garden, and the two brothers sat on one side.

Seeing his younger brother sitting there with his mouth pouted like a bullied child daughter-in-law, Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't make it look like I'm bullying you." ”

"Since I was a child, brother, have you bullied me less often?" Zhao Hongxuan said with some resentment: "Every time you make a mistake, brother, you use me as a shield......

"Is there one?" Zhao Hongrun pretended to blink blankly.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongxuan pointed his fingers and said: "Although I don't remember it like you, brother, I still remember more than a dozen ...... When I was four years old, brother, you broke the jade bowl in the (Ningxiang) Palace, so you put the fault on me, just because I couldn't even speak smoothly at that time......"

"Uh......" Zhao Hongrun scratched his face, his expression a little embarrassed.

"When I was five years old, brother, you took me to my father's garden, picked a few flowers and gave them to my mother, and then my mother asked, brother, you said it was my idea......"

“……”

"When I was six years old, there was a female official in the palace who was disrespectful to my mother, you took me to dig a bunch of ground worms (earthworms), and threw them at the female official's residence at night, and later was discovered by the guards who patrolled the night, and you ran away alone......"

"Ahem." Zhao Hongrun interrupted Zhao Hongxuan's words with a cough, and bluntly diverted the topic: "Let's talk about today's matter first." As he spoke, he saw Zhao Hongxuan looking at him with a sly face, his face was also a little embarrassed, and he said, "It's been so long, do you remember?" It seems that you do have a lot of dissatisfaction with my brother. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongxuan shook his head, and said: "No, since I was a child, there are countless examples of you bullying me, but in front of outsiders, you never allow others to bully me and my mother." …… I still remember that when you were six or seven years old, there was a father-in-law in the palace who asked his mother for money and things from time to time, brother, you endured until you were eight years old, and after the sect sent Brother Wei Jiao and them to you, you took Brother Wei Jiao and them that day, and took advantage of the night to break one of the father-in-law's hands and legs......

Speaking of this, he raised his head, looked at Zhao Hongrun Zhengse and said, "For my brother, I only have longing, but I ...... Now that my brother is getting better and better, I want to ...... I also want to be like my brother, like the fourth brother (Yanwang Hongjiang) and the sixth brother (Qi Xiang Hongzhao), and become the pillars of my Great Wei. ”

Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth, and then said with a smile: "It's very simple, next time my brother leads troops to the battle, I will bring you ......"

"It's not like that." Zhao Hongxuan shook his head and interrupted Zhao Hongrun's words, and Zhengse said: "If that's the case, I will be King Su's younger brother for the rest of my life...... Brother, when you first led the army to resist the Chu State four years ago, you didn't get anyone's help, but you just relied on your own ability to become the famous King of Su, and I also want to try, relying on my own ability...... That's why I stayed in the Northern First Army. ”

Zhao Hongrun pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Xuan, you have great ambitions, brother is very pleased, but you can't get too close to the East Palace. Listen to my brother's words, resign from the post of deputy marshal of the Northern First Army, and my brother will find another marshal position for you. ”

"Why?" When Zhao Hongxuan heard this, he said with some indignation: "Brother, you are prejudiced against His Royal Highness the Prince. You didn't see it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... when he was in Northern Xinjiang."

Zhao Hongrun raised his hand to interrupt Zhao Hongrun's words, and said lightly: "You don't have to tell Zhao Hongli how he is in Northern Xinjiang, and I don't want to know." In short, you don't want to get involved in the struggle for the throne. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongxuan asked coldly: "Then what about you, brother?" …… Why are you so close to King Yong? ”

"What?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Hongxuan said in a low voice: "Brother, Brother Yongwang is also a member of the attempt to compete for the throne, since Brother doesn't want to get involved in the battle between several brothers for the throne, why is he so close to King Yong?" …… I don't believe that King Yong didn't have the intention of wooing his brother. Why is it that he also wants to win over his brother, but every time his brother talks coldly to Donggong, he looks at King Yong differently? ”

Zhao Hongrun was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Because King Yong is an outstanding king's talent. ”

"I didn't see it." Zhao Hongxuan shook his head and said: "In my opinion, King Yong only knows how to play tricks and conspiracies, and although the East Palace is not talented, when he was in the northern Xinjiang, he also wanted to repel the Korean army and expedition to Korea...... Compared with Yongwang who only says and doesn't do, I think it's much stronger. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Hongrun narrowed his eyes, frowned and asked, "You want to help Donggong?" ”

"No, I just think that in terms of morality, King Yong is not as good as the East Palace! …… But why does my brother look at Donggong coldly? ”

"Because he upsets me." Zhao Hongrun said lightly.

Zhao Hongxuan took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "It's the incident before Duanyang four years ago, right?" …… Donggong told me that he was just teaching King Yong a lesson through his brother, and then, didn't my brother also destroy Donggong's words? ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Hongxuan looked at Zhao Hongrun and said sincerely: "Brother, when the East Palace was in Northern Xinjiang, it really changed a lot. ”

“……”

Zhao Hongrun didn't say a word.
