Chapter 330: The News of Chenggao's Hunting (2)
"Chenggao Hunting...... How many Yin Rong will respond? β
Zhao Hongrun asked Uncle Zhao Yuanyan of the Sixth Wang.
After all, as far as he knew, the Yin Rong who lived in the land of Sanchuan, they did not exist in the form of a 'country' like the Central Plains country, they were the aggregation of many tribes, which was somewhat similar to the country of Ba.
But the only difference is that the tribes of Ba will attack each other, but Yin Rong rarely fights infighting, unless it is to fight for the position of the "Great Chief".
"It's hard to guess this sixth uncle." Zhao Yuanli thought for a while and said: "However, as far as the sixth uncle knows, the Yinrong tribe within hundreds of miles outside Chenggao Pass has a relatively harmonious relationship with my Great Wei, and in the past, they often traded goods between the two clans in the border town market under the protection of Chenggao Pass...... They should respond. β
Speaking of this, he paused, and added: "I'm afraid it's just a response, this kind of thing of 'borrowing the Dao' is not something that a few Yin Rong tribes can decide." β
"Listening to this, it seems that there are many obstacles in Chenggao's hunting......"
"Not really." Zhao Yuanyan shrugged his shoulders, not as if he was optimistic about the matter.
Zhao Hongrun drank a glass of wine in a sullen voice, and his mood couldn't help but be a little complicated.
You must know that the land of Sanchuan is the first land where the Ji surnamed Zhao moved east from Longxi to the first official settlement, and hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the Ji Zhao family settled here.
Of course, it may be that this place belonged to someone else earlier, and it may be that the ancestors of the Ji Zhao clan snatched it from those people, so it is not a glorious thing.
But even so, as a Wei person, Zhao Hongrun still can't let go of the land where the ancestors settled is now in the hands of outsiders, and what is even more incredible is that they, the contemporary Wei people, have passed through the land settled by the ancestors of the Wei people. He even had to ask the owners who had robbed him of the land.
"Yin Rong ......"
Zhao Hongrun silently kept this word in his heart.
"Sixth uncle, have you ever thought about regaining your homeland?"
"What?"
Zhao Hongrun's cold inquiry made Zhao Yuanyan stunned.
"Take back your homeland? Longxi? β¦β¦ Are you referring to the land of the Three Rivers? Zhao Yuanli looked at Zhao Hongrun in surprise, and found that this nephew, who often giggled in front of him, was very serious at the moment.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuanyan restrained the smile on his face. Zhengse said: "Don't underestimate Yin Rong, Hongrun." β¦β¦ It is true that Yin Rong did not have a regular army, but every man there could be regarded as a skilled cavalryman with bows and horses. Once the great leader of Yin Rong gives the order for war, each tribe will contribute the youngest and most valiant warrior of its tribe, well, they call it a warrior there...... The cavalry composed of Yin Rong warriors was only stronger than the Korean cavalry. Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhao Hongrun. It seems to be a joke, but in fact, he earnestly advised: "At a time when my Great Wei military strength is still insufficient, it is better not to provoke that 'evil neighbor' for the time being, they are different from Han and Chu, they don't care about the 'domination of the Central Plains', they only care about whether the land under their feet is fertile and whether it can feed the men, women, the elderly, and children in the tribe." β¦β¦ If you want to recapture the land of Yinrong, you will inevitably be hated by the entire Yinrong tribe, and there is no need for my Great Wei to clash with them. Got it? β
"......" Uncle Liuwang's rare serious expression made Zhao Hongrun slightly stunned. Immediately, he said with a smile: "Uncle Six's words are serious, so I just asked casually." β
"Casual Ask......
Zhao Yuanyan glanced at Zhao Hongrun deeply, and said with a smile after half a ring: "Do you know, at this point, you really look like your father." β
"Father?" Zhao Hongrun's expression was a little strange.
"Don't believe me?" Zhao Yuanli teased: "Do you think your father has no ambitions? Don't forget. Your fourth royal brother's name is Hongjiang! β
γHongjiang ......γ
Zhao Hongrun opened his eyes in surprise.
may have seen the surprise in Zhao Hongrun's heart, Zhao Yuanyan sighed and said: "Your father, the emperor, is actually a very enterprising person, when he was young, he quarreled with your fifth uncle. Say what to open up territory for the Great Wei, but ......"
"And yet?" Zhao Hongrun frowned.
Zhao Yuanyan glanced at Zhao Hongrun and said lightly: "However, when you were your ancestors, my Great Wei was defeated by Korea in Shangdang, and when it improved slightly, it caused civil strife due to the struggle for the throne...... Your father, the emperor, had the ambition to open up the territory, but he had been developing the national strength of the Great Wei all his life, and his only military achievement was to conspire with Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, to destroy the Song State. β¦β¦ Don't look at your father's professed call it a glorious thing, in fact he hated it very much. β
"Hate?"
"Ah, the national heritage of hating my Great Wei is not enough to support his grand ambition to open up the territory."
Speaking of this, Zhao Yuanyan touched Zhao Hongrun's head and said with a smile: "But let's talk about it, when your generation grows up, maybe my Great Wei will have the strength to expand externally." β
"What, I'm an adult!" Zhao Hongrun angrily knocked off the sixth uncle's hand, and in his heart, he had a deeper understanding of his father.
He really didn't expect that his father, who he regarded as the lord of the Shoucheng, would have the grand ambition of opening up territory for the Great Wei Dynasty deep in his heart?
"Well, I should say that any king has a dream of leading the iron cavalry to crush all the enemies......
Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but sigh with emotion: It turned out that his father was not afraid of war, I am afraid that after losing the war, the Great Wei Dynasty would be developed with great difficulty and now it will come to naught, right?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but feel some pity for his father, pity him for obviously having great ambitions, but he has been committed to developing the basic national strength of Wei all his life, burying his head in front of the dragon case in the vertical arch hall, wasting time in the period of approving chapter folds day after day, and in a blink of an eye, he has changed from a young and strong guy to a dying king with gray temples today.
I believe that this is something that any monarch feels aggrieved by, but the Great Wei Tianzi persevered day after day, and this willpower is beyond ordinary people.
"Even if your own generation cannot achieve your ambitions, you must lay a solid foundation for the next generation...... What?'
Zhao Hongrun suddenly felt a little heavy.
With a long breath, he diverted the topic: "By the way, Sixth Uncle, Cheng Gao Hejia, can I go?" β
"I'd like to meet the so-called warriors of Yin Rong."
Zhao Hongrun said secretly.
Zhao Yuanyan naturally couldn't guess what Zhao Hongrun was thinking, and joked with a smile: "What? With Miss Su and Mi Jiang, are you still not satisfied? Oh. And that little girl called Sheep's Tongue Apricot. β
"I have nothing to do with Mi Jiang...... Zhao Hongrun just subconsciously retorted, and suddenly his face showed a little puzzlement: "What does this have to do with them?" β
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuanyan looked at Zhao Hongrun suspiciously, and his expression was even more surprised: "Don't you know the customs of Yin Rong?" β
Zhao Hongrun was even more puzzled: "What customs?" β
"Sixth Uncle still thinks ......" Sixth Uncle shook his head speechlessly, and then explained: "Remember, boy, in the Yinrong tribe." Hunting is a festival for young men and women to find a mate. As he spoke, he blinked his eyes and added with a smile: "If you have an excellent record in capturing prey by then, you will be admired by many amorous Yin Rong women." β
"I'm not the same person I was when I first left the palace, so I'm not so hungry and thirsty......
"......" Zhao Hongrun looked at Uncle Liuwang with a complicated expression, and finally dispelled the idea of explaining, laughed dryly, and said lightly: "Isn't Uncle Sixth a bad girl?" β
Yes, Uncle Zhao Yuanyan of the Sixth King never touched an untrained girl. To put it simply, it's a virgin, and I don't know if it's a quirk or just a lack of responsibility.
"But when the time comes, it's not just untrained girls." Zhao Yuanling said that this is not a problem at all.
"You're not going to put a hat on the leaders of the Yin Rong tribe, are you?"
Zhao Hongrun looked at the sixth uncle in front of him dumbfounded, and said in his heart: The guy whose feelings are most likely to cause a war between Great Wei and Yin Rong is here!
However, later Zhao Hongrun learned that the customs of the Yinrong tribe were very open, and those men of the Yinrong tribe. I don't mind letting my wife and concubine sleep with a distinguished guest, even. I also see this as a very face-saving thing.
Of course, only if the guest is in a dignified enough position.
Just when Zhao Yuanyan was enthusiastically telling Zhao Hongrun about the customs on Yin Rong's side, Zong Wei Shen Yu hurriedly walked over.
"Your Highness, the Wang Bureau of the Smelting Bureau asked His Highness to go to the Division, saying that it was Li Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Xu Guan, the left waiter, and Li Jin of the War Casting Bureau. Ask to see His Highness......"
Glancing at Zhao Yuanyan, Zhao Hongrun asked casually: "Wang Fu just invited the three of them into the department?" β
"No, the three of them invited Master Cao Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, but Wang Fu had no choice."
"No accidents......
Zhao Hongrun nodded with relief, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Yuanyan.
"Go ahead." Zhao Yuanli held the cup and said with a smile: "Li Yan's little old man is quite shrewd. Don't let him see the flaws. β
"I understand." Zhao Hongrun smiled.
Bidding farewell to Zhao Yuanlian, the uncle of the six kings, Zhao Hongrun took a carriage and came to the Smelting Bureau slowly.
As soon as he arrived at the Smelting Bureau, an official of the bureau was at the door, telling him the news that Li Feng and others were waiting in the room where he worked.
Coming outside the house to take a breath, Zhao Hongrun adjusted his mood and walked in expressionlessly.
"His Royal Highness King Su."
"His Royal Highness King Su."
After Zhao Hongrun walked in expressionlessly, everyone in the house saluted him one after another.
"Hmm."
I saw Zhao Hongrun nodding towards Cao Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Cheng Wangfu, the director of the Metallurgical Bureau, and in response, he only glanced at the other three officials of the Ministry of War, and then walked straight to his seat.
"What's the matter, the three of you?"
Zhao Hongrun said coldly, staging an image of "King Su who has not disappeared from his anger".
However, in fact, Li Yan, Xu Guan, and Li Jin also expected this, so they were not surprised.
"His Royal Highness King Su."
Under Zhao Hongrun's cold gaze, Li Yan arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "The old man thinks that there is some misunderstanding between my military department and His Royal Highness King Su......"
"!"
Zhao Hongrun snorted coldly in his heart, after all, this was not what he wanted to hear.
No, he immediately interrupted Li Fu's words: "Wang Fu, send off!" β
"Yes."
Wang Fu stood up and said to Li Fu and the others, "Three adults, please." β
"This ......" Li Feng didn't expect Zhao Hongrun to not even let him finish a word, so he had to turn his head to look at Cao Zhi and ask for help from this Ministry of Works.
Seeing this, Cao Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, stood up, arched his hand and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Su, can you sell the old man a face, and listen to Li Shangshu finish speaking?" β¦β¦ Also, Li Shangshu, His Royal Highness King Su is busy with affairs, and if you just talk about that kind of scene, the old man thinks it will be avoided. β
Glancing at Cao Zhi, who was smiling, and then at Zhao Hongrun, who was expressionless, Li Yan sighed secretly, and finally said what he meant.
"His Royal Highness King Su, I beg to help me with the Soldier Casting Bureau." (To be continued.) )
