As Zhao Hongrun said, when he left the mansion, he deliberately put on an angry appearance, in order not to let the sect government notice, so that it would be convenient for the sect to suddenly attack at that time, so that the sect would be caught off guard.

After coming out of the palace of Zhao Wenshen, the king of Chengling, Zhao Hongrun went back and forth to visit Zhao Wenzhuo, the king of Jiyang, Zhao Wenhuo, the king of Zhongyang, and Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang.

I have to say that the progress is going very smoothly, when Zhao Hongrun sacrificed the big killing weapon of the "Tui En Order", it seems that Zhao Wenzhuo, the king of Jiyang, Zhao Wenhuo, the king of Zhongyang, and Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang, these three were still proud, thinking that Zhao Hongrun was forced to come to their princes and kings without choice but to beg them, and they were suddenly frightened.

Zhao Wenhuo, the king of Zhongyang, who had seen the bottom, also strongly persuaded Zhao Hongrun not to burn the jade, and even said that "this is a chaotic strategy to overthrow the country and exterminate the clan" and "Your Majesty will not agree to this matter".

But no matter what, under the coercion of Zhao Hongrun's red dates and big sticks, these three princes and kings finally compromised.

Of course, for this reason, Zhao Hongrun also had to make all kinds of promises, such as opening up Sanchuan and playing with obedient nobles in the country in the future, even if it was Bolangsha, Zhao Hongrun also made a regression and allowed them to participate.

I have to say that in order to bring down the Zongfu, Zhao Hongrun's concession this time is also quite large.

But then again, Zhao Hongrun also warned these people: If you want to play with this king, you can, but the premise is to sacrifice the mineral veins in your hands, and you are not allowed to cause trouble.

As for the matter of sacrificing the mineral veins in his hands, except for Zhao Wenshen, the king of Chengling, who had already agreed, and Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang, who did not have much mineral vein resources in his hands, the other two princes and kings all seemed a little hesitant.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun did not force them, after all, the current priority is to deal with the Zongfu, not to mention that his conditions have been clearly laid out: if you want to make a fortune with this king, you will obediently hand over the mineral vein resources that have encroached on the imperial court.

Speaking of which, it is not only these four princes and kings who put pressure on the court this time, they are just representatives, and there are a large number of royal families, princes, and aristocratic forces behind them.

However, there is no need for Zhao Hongrun to worry about this, these four princes and kings will go to negotiate with each other after the matter of the Zongfu.

The conditions are still the same, those who are obedient and willing to hand over the ore veins in their hands will follow Su Wang Hongrun to mix together, and if they are unwilling, then continue to make trouble, and see which party's fist is hard enough in the end.

Anyway, for Zhao Hongrun, as long as these royal families, princes, and aristocratic forces are not united like a monolith, he can always think of ways to solve those who are disobedient.

Of course, the 'Tui En Order' can't be used, because this trick doesn't distinguish between each other, and all the aristocratic forces in the country will suffer at every turn, and the Wei State will be finished accordingly.

"Your Highness, where are you going next? Are you going home? ”

After waiting for Zhao Hongrun to get into the carriage, Shen Yu, the sect guard who was driving the carriage, turned around and asked.

Zhao Hongrun pondered for a moment and said, "I still have to visit someone, but this person, I will visit the door...... Not quite right. ”

As he spoke, he slowly revealed the identity of this person: Zongfu Zongzheng Zhao Yuanyan.

i.e. his second uncle.

Hearing the identity of the other party, Shen Yu and Lu Mu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After all, Zhao Yuanyan lives in the Zongfu, and His Royal Highness has just offended the Zongfu, not to mention, he still used the excuse of "going back to the house to rest for a few days" before getting out, how can he enter the Zongfu again?

If you can send someone to invite you, Zhao Yuanyan may not come out in order to avoid suspicion.

After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun said to Shen Yu and Lu Mu: "My second uncle's eldest son, my cousin Zhao Hongmin, do you know each other?" ”

"Acquaintance."

"Find a way to tie him up to the palace, and then ask someone to send a letter to the second uncle, if he doesn't come, I will get my cousin drunk and strip him naked, and throw him on the bed of the girls in the water pavilion."

"This trick is too shady, isn't it?"

Shen Yu and Lu Mu looked at each other, and persuaded with a hesitant expression: "Your Highness, I'm afraid this move will offend Prince Yan and Master Min." ”

"What's the panic?" Zhao Hongrun glanced at the two of them, and said angrily: "I just said that, and didn't say that I would definitely do this?" …… Don't worry, as long as there is a suitable excuse, the second uncle will come to the palace to see me. ”

After listening to Zhao Hongrun's explanation, although Shen Yu and Lu Mu breathed a sigh of relief, they still seemed to be lacking in confidence: "This ...... Done? ”

"Don't worry, go quickly!"

"Yes!"

So, Shen Yu and Lu Mu first sent Zhao Hongrun back to Su Wangfu, and then took a group of Su Wangwei and left the palace in disguise.

And Zhao Hongrun, after returning to King Su's mansion, first went to the inner garden to meet with the women.

When he arrived at the inner garden, he found that Princess Yulong and Mi Rui had returned, and even Miss Su had temporarily moved to King Su's Mansion with her little girl Huanlu'er.

The girls asked Zhao Hongrun about being locked up by the sect for 17 days, whether he had suffered or anything in it, and even during the period, the little girl had tears in her eyes, and she once infected Miss Su and Una, which made Zhao Hongrun feel a headache, and comforted them in turn.

When the mood of the women gradually stabilized, they began to dislike Zhao Hongrun.

It's no wonder, after all, Zhao Hongrun was locked up in the meditation room of the sect for 17 days, how could he have the opportunity to wash, and the meditation room was extremely stuffy, which made Zhao Hongrun's sweat smell extremely strong, how could the women eat.

During this period, Mi Jiang, who has a poisonous tongue like Zhao Hongrun, even said, "How can it be so stinky? Are you rotten?'

Zhao Hongrun was so angry that his teeth itched.

However, he had to admit that this smell was really unpleasant, and it was also a loss to Zhao Wenshen, the king of Chengling, Zhao Wenzhuo, the king of Jiyang, Zhao Wenhuo, the king of Zhongyang, and Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang, who endured not to point it out.

After bidding farewell to the girls, Zhao Hongrun first went to take a bath, changed his clothes, and then ordered people to put some wine and food on the stone table in the forest in front of the north house.

Zhao Hongrun was eating wine and food while waiting for his second uncle, Zhao Yuanyan.

Sure enough, around dusk in the evening, Zhao Hongrun's second uncle, Zongfu Zongzheng Zhao Yuanyan, appeared in front of him.

"Botched threats."

When he saw Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Yuanyan said coldly with a straight face.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun smiled, got up and said, "As long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter if his means are clumsy or not, isn't the second uncle here?" With that, he invited the second uncle to take a seat.

The prince snorted coldly, sat opposite Zhao Hongrun unceremoniously, and said lightly: "If you have something to say, say it quickly." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun poured a glass of wine for the second uncle, and said slowly: "Second uncle, my nephew thinks that you are now the Zongzheng of the Zongfu, but in the Zongfu, there are three uncles, too many uncles and other sect elders. ”

"......" The prince glanced at Zhao Hongrun indifferently, unceremoniously picked up the wine glass, drank all the wine in the cup, and then said lightly: "Wine, it's very good; Words, very clumsy. ”

After that, he looked up at Zhao Hongrun, and said with a straight face: "What do you think you can save with a clumsy discord?" ”

"It's a matter of people." Zhao Hongrun snorted and poured another cup for the second uncle.

Zhao Yuanyan shook his head speechlessly, and subconsciously picked up the chopsticks.

But when he looked down at the plate on the stone table, he couldn't help but be stunned, because he found that these dishes had almost been eaten by Zhao Hongrun, and there were only some leftovers left.

He glanced up at Zhao Hongrun, and thought to himself: You kid invited me to come over to eat and drink, so let me eat your leftovers?

As if he had seen through the second uncle's thoughts, Zhao Hongrun blinked and said with a smile: "If the second uncle agrees to help his nephew, the little nephew immediately instructed the cook to prepare more wine and food, otherwise it will ......" He made a grimace and said with a flat mouth: "Otherwise, you can only let the second uncle drink porridge." ”

The prince was angry, put down his chopsticks and nodded and said, "It's good to drink porridge, I like to drink porridge, serve it." ”

Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly, then slapped his face twice, and immediately, Zong Wei Chongzhao and Gao Kuo walked out from the side, put a bronze cooking tripod on Zhao Yuanyan's side, and then added charcoal fire to the cooking ding, and poured water into the cooking ding.

Finally, he placed a fist-sized gray cloth bag on the stone table.

"This ...... Are you going to let me do it myself?'

Zhao Yuanyan was even more suspicious in his heart, and he didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Hongrun silently.

After a while, the water boiled, and Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "If the second uncle doesn't help me, I can only cook the porridge by myself, the water is boiling, and the second uncle can cook rice." ”

"What the hell is this kid trying to do?"

Zhao Yuanyan had doubts in his heart, but since Zhao Hongrun didn't say it, he didn't ask.

However, he was quite careful when picking up the rice bag, after all, as far as he knew, this nephew was sometimes quite damaged.

He carefully opened the rice bag and sniffed it.

This sniff will sniff out the problem.

It turned out that the rice in the rice bag actually emitted a musty smell.

Zhao Yuanyan subconsciously looked at Zhao Hongrun, but his first reaction was not to be angry, because with his understanding of Zhao Hongrun, the latter would not use such a crude trick to humiliate him.

Sure enough, seeing Zhao Yuanyan looking up at him, Zhao Hongrun said lightly: "Second uncle, don't worry, at least more than half of this bag of rice is new rice, but these other things are moldy old rice that the little nephew finally asked someone to find, and it will be diarrhea if you eat it." …… If the second uncle doesn't help me, the little nephew won't help the second uncle. ”

"This kid...... Didn't you get angry with King Chengling and them, and they deliberately came to trick me?"

At this moment, even Zhao Yuanyan began to have some doubts.

But just as he was about to pick out the stinky old rice in the rice bag, he was suddenly stunned and looked at Zhao Hongrun with an incredible gaze.

Because he suddenly realized that Zhao Hongrun was not playing tricks on him, but using this bag as a metaphor for the aristocratic power in Wei.

If the whole bag of rice is poured into the cooking pot, the porridge will be stinky, and the intact rice will be wasted in vain, and it will not be able to swallow it at all.

But if you pick up the erosive old rice in it, wouldn't this fall into Zhao Hongrun's hands?

"This trick...... It's high!'

Looking at Zhao Hongrun, who was smiling, even if it was Zhao Yuanyan, he was a little hesitant for a while.

And at this moment, Zhao Hongrun lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Is the second uncle just thinking, 'Didn't this kid get angry on the side of the four kings of Chengling, and he was not angry in his heart, and he deliberately came to tease me?" …… Not yo. ”

In Zhao Yuanyan's incredulous gaze, Zhao Hongrun said in a low tone: "Little nephew, I have already convinced those four people......"

"How is that possible?!"

Zhao Yuanyan was shocked when he heard this.

He couldn't imagine that Zhao Wenshen, the king of Chengling, Zhao Wenzhuo, the king of Jiyang, Zhao Wenhuo, the king of Zhongyang, and Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang, would actually fall to the nephew in front of him. (To be continued.) )
