On the same day, Zhao Hongzhao hosted a banquet in Pengcheng to entertain Zhao Hongrun, but as for generals such as Xu Yin, Qu Cheng, and Wu Ji, Zhao Hongzhao did not invite.

After all, no matter what you say, Pengcheng, a city that now belongs to the Lu State, was also "taken" by the Lu State from the Wei State by taking advantage of the internal instability of Song County, otherwise, a large part of the eastern part of Song County, including Pengcheng, should belong to the Wei State that destroyed the Song State.

Therefore, the relationship between Wei and Lu was not good.

In this case, even if the three kingdoms of Qilu and Wei invade Chu are the general trend today, I believe that the Wei army will still be wary of the Lu State, especially Zhao Hongrun, who seems to be reckless but is actually thoughtful.

And it was precisely because of this guess that Zhao Hongzhao did not rashly invite the three main generals of the Wei army, Yan Ling Army, Shang Shui Army, and Fen Cheng Army, after all, his current identity is a little embarrassing to be honest.

Therefore, it is said that it is a banquet to catch the wind, but in fact, Zhao Hongrun's side is just five Zongwei including him and Wei Jiao, as well as several green crows including Duan Pei, and Zhao Hongzhao's side is only with his ten Zongwei.

The only strange escort at the table was the Minister of Qi named Tian Zhen.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Hongzhao left the table under the pretext of leaving the table, and at the same time hinted with his eyes that Zhao Hongrun would go out with him, thinking that the former had some private words and wanted to tell Zhao Hongrun.

Seeing this, everyone at the banquet pretended not to see anything.

Zhao Hongzhao took Zhao Hongrun to the private room next door and then next door, and the chief of the two guards, Wei Jiao and Fei Wei did not follow up with each other, and stayed outside the private room with a tacit understanding.

At this time, in this private room, Zhao Hongzhao had already ordered someone to prepare a table of wine and food, and invited Zhao Hongrun to sit down.

"It's all yours?"

Zhao Hongrun did not take a seat for the first time, but came to the window and looked at the guards on duty outside the restaurant.

Zhao Hongzhao smiled slightly, as if he had guessed the thoughts of this eighth prince brother, and sat in the seat while pouring wine for each other, and said with a smile: "They are all old people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they are trustworthy." ”

Zhao Hongrun glanced back at Zhao Hongzhao, nodded slightly, didn't say anything, and went straight to sit opposite Zhao Hongzhao.

He didn't ask anything How can you be sure that these people are trustworthy, after all, if even such a trivial matter can't be settled, why is Zhao Hongzhao called Qilin'er by the Liang Dynasty and the opposition?

This is a person who is praised for being born to know, surnamed Ji, the royal family of the Zhao family.

It may be a relationship that has not been seen for more than a year, or it may be that Zhao Hongzhao's current status is a little sensitive, the two brothers met again after a long absence, and after the excitement slowly retreated, there was a faint sense of alienation.

This sense of alienation may be because Tian Yan once called Zhao Hongzhao the Lord Zuo Xiang, or it may be because the latter is wearing the robe of the minister of Qi at the moment, this kind reminds Zhao Hongrun again and again: The six emperor brothers in front of him are no longer the Rui King of their Wei State, but the Minister of Qi State.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

In the private room, the atmosphere seemed a little silent, Zhao Hongzhao and Zhao Hongrun drank a glass of wine silently, and looked at each other speechlessly.

After a long time, Zhao Hongzhao said quietly: "Your sister-in-law has ......"

"Ahem...... Ahem. ”

Hearing this sentence coldly, Zhao Hongrun almost squirted out the wine in his mouth, and after forcibly swallowing it, he choked and coughed repeatedly.

"W-When?"

Zhao Hongrun asked with wide eyes.

Zhao Hongzhao's face was filled with the happiness of being a father, and he said with a smile: "In four or five months, you will have a nephew or niece." ”

Zhao Hongrun was stunned, and he was also happy with Zhao Hongzhao from the bottom of his heart.

He asked, "Did you write a letter to inform my father and concubine?" ”

Zhao Hongzhao smiled and nodded: "I asked Lord Tian Yu, the envoy who visited Daliang. ”

Zhao Hongrun recalled it when he heard this, and then he remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, and he couldn't help but joke: "My unborn niece and nephew have a great background......

Isn't it amazing, my grandfather is the king of Wei, my grandfather is the king of Qi, my father is the prince of Wei, and my mother is the princess of Qi.

Zhao Hongzhao smiled gently, and in turn teased Zhao Hongrun: "Envy? If you are envious, you should also work harder. ”

"What's going on?" Zhao Hongrun said angrily: "I'm only sixteen this year, but I don't want to be burdened by my children so early." Speaking of this, he glanced at the Sixth Emperor Brother opposite, pouted and said, "This king is different from a certain old guy who has passed the age of a weak crown. ”

Zhao Hongzhao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it: Just past the age of the weak crown, he is an old guy?

However, he is four years old from Zhao Hongrun, and when Zhao Hongrun said this, he is really hard to refute.

The two chatted along this topic for a while, and gradually, the relationship that was slightly estranged before was gradually drawn closer, especially when Zhao Hongzhao complained that he was not used to eating and living here in Qi State.

"Hongrun, do you know, here in Linzi, even if you eat shrimp, they actually like to eat raw fish and crabs......"

After saying that, Zhao Hongzhao saw Zhao Hongrun's eyes shining and swallowing saliva.

"Hongrun, looking at your look, it seems that you are quite yearning......"

"Huh." Zhao Hongrun naturally didn't explain it, but secretly muttered in his heart: I don't know good things!

Of course, he knew that some fish could indeed be eaten raw, after all, there was no pollution in this era, and besides, shrimp and crabs were also Zhao Hongrun's favorite river fresh food and seafood, but it was a pity that Wei Guo did not eat these things, thinking that shrimp and crabs were not clean, after all, the latter lived on carrion in the water.

This kind of discrimination against shrimp and crabs makes Zhao Hongrun really have no chance to contact shrimp and crabs in his life, and almost all the meat on the dinner table is birds and beasts.

"When I led my army to attack Sanchuan, I got a copy of the Wei Youzi Codex, which seems to have been written by my ancestor of the Zhao family, who had recorded the customs of the Qi State in the book...... I'm curious. Zhao Hongrun half-truthfully explained the reason why he subconsciously swallowed saliva.

Zhao Hongzhao suddenly realized, nodded and said: "It's simple, when I arrive in Linzi in the future, I will personally ask someone to prepare the best quality fish for Hongrun you, so that you can taste it." …… But for my brother, the taste is weird, just like eating raw meat. ”

It's fundamentally different, okay?

Zhao Hongrun muttered to himself, but said happily on his face: "Then there is Brother Lao Liuwang." ”

"Hongrun's words are serious."

The two talked and laughed for a while, and then the topic gradually became heavy.

For example, Zhao Hongzhao asked about the current situation of the beam.

"According to Lord Tian Yu's reply, Hongrun, you were in Shangshui a while ago?"

"To be exact, I went to Anling." Zhao Hongrun briefly explained the contradiction between An Ling and Yan Ling to Zhao Hongzhao, and did not hide Zhao Laiyu's affairs, after all, he also wanted to hear the opinion of the sixth prince.

However, Zhao Hongzhao's statement on this is indeed very close to Zhao Laiyu: "Hongrun, I don't favor anyone for my brother, but what the third uncle said is indeed true." …… The power in your hands now is not small, but this power comes from your father, to be exact, from the imperial power. To put it mildly, when one day your father can no longer protect you, will the new monarch really sit back and watch you continue to hold 100,000 troops and stand on the edge of Shangshui? …… Your shortcomings today lie in your connections. The Anling Zhao clan of the third uncle can indeed make up for your weakness in this regard......"

Speaking of this, a slight color flashed in his eyes, and he said meaningfully: "Of course, there is a faster way than winning over the domestic nobles, it depends on whether you are willing to retract your former words." ”

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Zhao Hongzhao and said with a wry smile: "Brother Liuwang, it seems that every time we meet, you have to encourage me to compete for the throne." ”

Zhao Hongzhao, who was exposed, laughed, he faintly saw that Zhao Hongrun didn't care about this matter, that is, he didn't say any more anymore, and changed the topic and said: "You are not in Daliang, you want to come to the East Palace to fight with King Yong, right?" ”

Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly, and told the Sixth King Brother about what happened in Daliang recently, but omitted the fact that Zhou Yu was King Yong's person.

Sure enough, after pondering for a moment, Zhao Hongzhao obviously felt that something was wrong, and frowned and said, "Are you sure that Zhou Yu is a staff member loyal to the East Palace?" How do you feel for your brother...... This person is harming the East Palace? ”

"Is there one?" Zhao Hongrun blinked his eyes in disbelieving.

Zhao Hongzhao is such a smart person, seeing Zhao Hongrun's behavior, he knows that there must be a hidden secret.

However, because he is now the left minister of the Qi State, it is naturally not good to interfere too much and get to the bottom of it, so he interestingly shifted the topic to the northern Xinjiang side.

It is not convenient to talk about the struggle for the throne in the Wei court, but it is still no problem to talk about the northern Xinjiang and the upcoming war between Wei and Korea.

"As you think, on the side of Daqi, there is indeed a naval army stationed in Julu County, and the king has handed over the military power of this naval army to his brother, if South Korea really uses troops against Great Wei, the brotherhood will call that naval army to go north and attack the cities along the rivers and coasts of South Korea. Even if it cannot prevent South Korea from sending troops, it can also hold back part of South Korea's troops. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun asked with some doubts: "Won't this affect the reputation of the Sixth King Brother in the Qi Kingdom?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Hongzhao waved his hand and said: "The Great King has made it clear that Qi and Wei Lianheng cannot be betrayed, whether it is against Chu or Korea, Great Qi and Great Wei will be the most stable allies. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun was a little surprised and surprised.

But when he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.

You must know that after the attack on Chu by the Qilu and Wei Kingdoms, the strength of the Chu State has plummeted, but the Qi State is not much better, but he Wei has a chance to rise.

In other words, the promise of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, was not the Wei State as the younger brother of the Qi State, but the Wei State that rose at that time should in turn pull the Qi State.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun, who was still smiling and groaning, gradually put away the smile on his face.

"Sixth Brother...... Actually, you haven't thought about going back to Dawei, have you? ”

Hearing this, the smile on Zhao Hongzhao's face suddenly froze. (To be continued.) )
