Chapter 306: Uncle and Nephew

Zhao Yuanli is the youngest younger brother of Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Great Wei Tianzi, and is Chinese New Year's Eve and seven years old this year, a full six years younger than Zhao Hongrun's father, Zhao Yuanxi.

I have to say that among the other five princes of the "Yuan" generation except Wei Tianzi, it is this Zhao Hongrun's sixth uncle who is the most unorthodox, drunk and dreaming all day long, nostalgic for flowers and butterflies, and is very proficient in the word "play", and is a veritable prince.

Of course, it doesn't mean that this Uncle Six Kings has no talent, in fact, in Zhao Hongrun's view, this Uncle Six Kings knows a lot of things, but what Uncle Wang is good at is all related to "play".

For example, when Zhao Hongrun was young, he had heard the sixth uncle say that he took several Zongwei up the mountain to hunt bears and tigers and other fierce beasts in the autumn and winter.

Then, the gang fetched firewood on the spot, plucked the bear's skin, and a group of people roasted the whole bear around the bonfire and ate it.

There are countless examples of this, and in order to play, this sixth uncle could trek to the borders of the Great Wei, hunt in extremely harsh conditions, and even sometimes sneak into Han, Chu and the Song Kingdom, which still existed at that time.

If it weren't for the fact that the age gap was too big, Zhao Hongrun really suspected that this sixth uncle was actually the "Wei Youzi", a son of the Ji Zhao clan who claimed to have traveled all over the world.

In Zhao Hongrun's impression, this sixth uncle seems to be synonymous with freedom and ease. When he is happy, he will drink the strongest but not expensive spirits; When he is happy, he will spend a lot of money to play with the most beautiful women.

It seems that this Uncle Wang was born to "play", and he is playing all the time.

It stands to reason. Such an uncle should belong to the kind of moth who has little contribution to the Great Wei in Zhao Hongrun's value code, but in fact, the sixth uncle Zhao Yuanyan is obviously higher than Wei Tianzi in Zhao Hongrun's mind.

After all, when Zhao Hongrun was not yet revealed, most people in the palace regarded him as a prince whose power was marginalized. Only Zhao Yuanyan, the imperial uncle who is not doing right, takes the most care of him.

Zhao Hongrun still remembers that he was once disappointed because he was too young to go hunting outside the city with the rest of his brothers, and when the sixth uncle Zhao Yuanli learned about this, he used the wolf's teeth to string a necklace and gave it to Zhao Hongrun.

This gift is amazing, after all, according to the sixth uncle, every wolf tooth on the necklace is taken from the most prominent fangs in the mouth of the head wolf. And on the whole necklace, there are a total of twelve pairs of wolf teeth like this!

Zhao Hongrun still remembers that at that time, the sixth uncle proudly told him about his deeds of hunting wolves in the desert, and even lifted his clothes, showed Zhao Hongrun the shocking scar on his left abdomen, and told Zhao Hongrun heartlessly that the injury came from a Jedi counterattack. At that time, if it wasn't for a sect guard who cut off the wolf's head in time, I'm afraid he would have been bitten to death by that beast.

What Zhao Hongrun remembers the most. It was the sixth uncle who deliberately used an exaggerated and frightened expression to tell him that the wolf head that was cut off by Zong Wei bit his abdomen so hard that he couldn't open his mouth, and almost died there because of excessive bleeding.

At that time, Zhao Hongrun was also amused by the sixth uncle.

Of course. In addition to hunting and exploring in the desert and mountains and forests that are inaccessible, the sixth uncle's hunting deeds also made Zhao Hongrun particularly enthusiastic, after all, according to the sixth uncle's triumphant account, he was once sent as an envoy to various countries, during which he slept with women from Wei, Chu, Wei, Lu, Qi, Song, Han and other countries. From the graceful and luxurious lady to the gorgeous prostitute, it can be said that there are countless hunts, which makes Zhao Hongrun fascinated.

At that time, Zhao Hongrun set a goal, in his life, he would live freely and freely like this uncle of the six princes.

However, when Zhao Hongrun was ten years old, the sixth uncle left Daliang, to be precise, he no longer came to Daliang, according to the news, the sixth uncle went to distant Longxi, it seems that the land where the Wei people once lived was not very stable.

And today, suddenly seeing this long-lost Uncle Liuwang again, you can imagine the excitement in Zhao Hongrun's heart.

This excitement made Zhao Hongrun forget all the unhappiness with his father and no longer think about it.

Even, Zhao Hongrun, who originally planned to stay in a water pavilion, lost this interest, and was bound to invite Uncle Liuwang to his mansion for a gathering.

Faced with his nephew's kind invitation, Zhao Yuanli had no choice but to nod.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun explained a few words to Miss Su, and wanted to invite Zhao Yuanyan to the mansion with great interest.

Originally, Miss Su also wanted to persuade Ai Lang not to quarrel with his father over the election of a concubine, but when she found out that Zhao Yuanling, Ai Lang's sixth uncle, had arrived, her Ai Lang had no anger on her face, and she was a little relieved, but she just told them to be careful on the road, after all, it was getting late outside at the moment.

Saying goodbye to Miss Su, Zhao Hongrun and Sixth Uncle Zhao Yuanli walked out of the water pavilion, they did not take a carriage, but strolled through the streets under the stars, chatting as they walked.

"When did Uncle Liuwang return to Daliang?"

"Today, probably in the evening, to be exact. …… In fact, when the sixth uncle entered the palace, he had already seen you near the palace gate, but your kid was angry and gloomy, so the sixth uncle didn't greet you. ”

"That's ......" Zhao Hongrun scratched his head in embarrassment.

Looking at his appearance, Zhao Yuanli sighed heartily and said with emotion: "The days go by so fast, in the blink of an eye, even you, the little guy who used to dig earthworms in the imperial garden and try to catch fish in the fish viewing pond, are now the king of Su and have your own Su Wang Mansion......"

Zhao Hongrun smiled wryly, after all, what the sixth uncle said was exactly what they were talking about when they first met.

At that time, Zhao Hongrun did not have Shen Yu and other Zongwei by his side, so he had nothing to do and wanted to catch fish in the fish pond, so he could only run to the garden by himself and rummage in the soil to find earthworms as bait.

At that time, Zhao Yuanyan happened to pass by the corridor of the courtyard, and looked at Zhao Hongrun, the prince, digging earthworms in the garden with great interest.

It's a pity. They didn't seem to be lucky enough to catch a snake instead of catching any earthworms.

Zhao Hongrun wanted to roast the snake, but Zhao Yuanli told him that the snake in the family (palace) couldn't move, it was the dragon god who protected the family, so. Zhao Hongrun had no choice but to let it go.

As compensation, within a few days, Zhao Yuanli secretly took Zhao Hongrun to the mountains and forests outside the city, caught several snakes in the mountains, and the uncle and nephew lit a bonfire and tasted the taste of snake meat.

This is the reason why Zhao Hongrun likes this sixth uncle, because he never reprimands him like an elder, but will discuss with him in a friend-like way. This made Zhao Hongrun feel good.

"After all, my little nephew is fifteen years old." Zhao Hongrun also sighed.

"The milky boy has not dried up, but his tone is old-fashioned." Zhao Yuanli shook his head amusedly, then looked at Zhao Hongrun and said suspiciously: "I heard that your father is paying more and more attention to you, what's the matter?" Didn't Uncle Sixth teach you? ”

"If you want to blame, blame the six emperor brothers." Zhao Hongrun pursed his lips and said angrily: "I have a bullshit limerick poem, he was stunned and said yes, what can I do?" …… I had wanted to use that poem to anger my father and make him completely disappointed in me. ”

"Hiroaki?" Zhao Yuanling touched his chin. frowned and asked, "What kind of poem are yours, read it and listen to it." ”

And so. Zhao Hongrun recited the limerick poem in Wende Hall at the beginning, only to hear Zhao Yuanyan laugh heartily and praise it with a thumbs up.

"I suspect that the Sixth Emperor Brother may have hit his head at that time." Zhao Hongrun muttered a little depressedly.

"Hehehe." Zhao Yuanli laughed twice, looking at the expression on Zhao Hongrun's face, he found that Zhao Hongrun was mentioning Zhao Hongzhao. There was no anger on his face, but he was a little nostalgic, so he said with feeling: "Hongzhao is a talented and virtuous gentleman, among your brothers, talk about virtue." No one else is out of it. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun nodded emphatically: "In addition to this incident that makes me very depressed, the Sixth Emperor Brother is a very good brother. ”

"Actually, there's nothing to be depressed about." patted Zhao Hongrun on the shoulder, Zhao Yuanling said with a smile: "If it weren't for your Sixth Emperor Brother, who made you pay attention to your father and emperor by mistake, I'm afraid that Luo Wenzhong's trick would make you infamous......"

"Huh?" Zhao Hongrun turned his head to look at Zhao Yuanyan and asked in surprise, "How did the sixth uncle know about this?" ”

"Humph!" Zhao Yuanyan snorted lightly, glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and said mysteriously: "Who do you think is the confidante surnamed Su who is raising for you for no reason?" ”

Zhao Hongrun was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Zhao Yuanyan with an incredulous expression.

Only then did he remember that when his sixth uncle had just broken into Miss Su's Cui Xiaoxuan, there was no one in the water pavilion to stop him.

"Sixth Uncle...... Is it difficult to become a water pavilion ......"

"Ah, that's the sixth uncle's family business." Zhao Yuanli said with a smile.

"......" Zhao Hongrun was stunned.

It was only then that it dawned on him.

No wonder after Miss Su committed herself to him, the water pavilion immediately stopped Miss Su's brand, not only so that Miss Su did not have to meet other guests, but also served delicious food and drink every day, just like offering Niangniang.

Zhao Hongrun originally thought that the backstage financier of the water pavilion wanted to slap him, but he waited for a long time, and he didn't see the other party following this relationship to make friends.

Unexpectedly, the financier behind this water pavilion turned out to be his sixth uncle, Zhao Yuanli.

"No wonder ......," Zhao Hongrun muttered to himself.

"No need for Uncle Xie Liu." Looking at Zhao Hongrun's stunned appearance, Zhao Yuanli smiled and teased: "Don't talk about a woman, even if it is the entire water pavilion, if Hongrun wants it, when the sixth uncle returns to the soil in the future, it doesn't hurt to give it to you." …… Anyway, the sixth uncle has no heirs. ”

"Really?" Zhao Hongrun asked with an incredulous expression, after all, the water pavilion is a place where the sun is making money.

"Did Uncle Sixth lie to you?" Zhao Yuanyan rubbed Zhao Hongrun's head "viciously", and immediately, he asked with a straight face: "But Hongrun, do you really like that Miss Su?" ”

Zhao Hongrun looked at Zhao Yuanyan puzzled, and nodded half-loudly: "My nephew thinks she is very good." ”

"Yes." Zhao Yuanli groaned for a while, and then said with a straight face: "Beloved woman, that's a weakness...... You can't fight your father, obediently go and bow to your father and admit your mistakes, if you still want to keep your confidante. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Hongrun frowned puzzled.

I saw Zhao Yuanyan glance at Zhao Hongrun, and said lightly: "Your father is obviously ranked fourth, but why can he become the monarch of my Great Wei?" ”

"Naturally, it's because of ......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Hongrun was stunned.

To be honest, he is not very familiar with his uncles, but he also knows a little about it, such as the second uncle Zhao Yuanyan, whose talent is not inferior to Zhao Hongrun's father, and he will take care of the huge sect in an orderly manner.

"Because he's ruthless!" Zhao Yuanyan lowered his voice, and his expression was indifferent, as if he was stating the facts.

『……』

Zhao Hongrun looked at Zhao Yuanyan inexplicably, and in an instant, Wei Tianzi's face and eyes appeared in his mind when he mentioned the gang of thieves who slandered the general Xu Yin, which made Zhao Hongrun feel unfamiliar with the fierceness.

As if noticing Zhao Hongrun's complexion, Zhao Yuanyan laughed, patted Zhao Hongrun's back and said, "What? Scared? Rest assured, you are his son, and he will never do anything to you. Speaking of this, he paused, and continued in an inexplicable tone: "But for outsiders, your father is not so easy to speak...... In this way, that Miss Su, stay in the water pavilion for the time being, and the sixth uncle asked Steward Xu to take care of it for you. When you turn around, you bow your head to your father and admit your mistake, follow him, and the sixth uncle will say a few good words for you, and the matter will pass. ”

"What does Uncle Sixth mean is that I have to choose a woman I don't like, or even a stranger, to be the princess?"

"Princess......

Zhao Yuanyan was stunned when he heard this, and a few traces of remembrance appeared in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Hongrun.

"Are you that old?"

In Zhao Hongrun's puzzled gaze, Zhao Yuanli muttered to himself, and then raised his head to look at the crescent moon in the sky, as if he was a little distracted. (To be continued.) )
