That night, Zhao Hongrun and the ladies accompanied Concubine Shen Shu until late in Ningxiang Palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, at the beginning, Shen Shufei was very concerned about Zhao Hongrun's food and accommodation during the period when he led the army, but after Zhao Hongrun repeatedly said that he ate and lived well outside, Shen Shufei began to worry about her youngest son Zhao Hongxuan again.

Don't look at Shen Shufei's preference for Zhao Hongrun in the past, it was because she had a good relationship with Zhao Hongrun's biological mother before her death, so she not only regarded it as her own, but also gave extra love, so that when she was young, Zhao Hongxuan always jealously said that her mother favored his brother.

But in the final analysis, Zhao Hongxuan is Shen Shufei's biological son after all, how can there be a reason why a mother is not worried about her biological son?

Fortunately, Zhao Hongrun also knew a little about the situation in northern Xinjiang, and knew that although the Wei army in northern Xinjiang was at a disadvantage in the face of the Korean army, it was not yet defeated.

After all, it is normal for wars between such countries to be fought for a year or two or even three or five years.

Take the battle of the Qilu, Wei and Yue coalition forces to conquer Chu a while ago, if it weren't for the Chu king Xiong Xu deliberately asking Xiang Yan to release water in the Battle of Shouying, how could the Wei army attack the city so quickly?

You must know that once the king of Qi, Lu and Song led the coalition forces of Qi, Lu and Song to jointly attack Chu and besieged Shouying for several months, but after all, he still failed to conquer the royal capital of Chu.

Therefore, even if the war in northern Xinjiang lasts for a few years, Zhao Hongrun will not be surprised at all.

And during this period, the maid Xiao Tao saw that Concubine Shen Shu was so worried about Zhao Hongxuan, so she couldn't help but interject: "Your Highness, otherwise, you will lead the troops to help Your Highness?" …… The slave maid has heard that your Highness, you have returned from the victory of the Chu State, and you have taken advantage of this enthusiasm to defeat the Korean army. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he said in his heart: What is it called taking advantage of this heat? The South Korean army is not a freshly baked bun.

Hearing this, Concubine Shen Shufei immediately interrupted: "Don't talk nonsense, Run'er has just come back and hasn't rested for a few days!" ”

But even though she said so, Zhao Hongrun could see that Shen Shufei also hoped that he could come forward to help her younger brother, but due to some factors, it was difficult to say it directly.

In order to dispel the mustard and worries in the mother's heart, Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth and explained: "Mother, it's not that the child doesn't want to help Xiaoxuan. First of all, the child has just finished a battle, not to mention the more than 100,000 Chu soldiers under his hands, and more than 1 million Chu citizens, and now these people have moved to Shangshui County in one go, and this mess has to be cleaned up. …… Secondly, the war in Northern Xinjiang is not only the battlefield between our Great Wei and Korea, but also the battlefield of the battle between the East Palace and King Yong, not to mention that there are four royal brothers (Yan Wang Hongjiang) in it, and the child rashly intervenes in it, which will only make the three parties unhappy. ”

Speaking of this, he comforted Concubine Shen Shu again: "But don't worry, mother, although the East Palace is not talented, it is not stupid, otherwise, he would not have let Xiao Xuan serve as the deputy governor of Northern Xinjiang to mediate the conflict between him and the four royal brothers." …… Donggong will protect Xiao Xuan like himself, because he knows very well that if Xiao Xuan has any accidents, the child will definitely not be able to spare him. ”

After listening to Zhao Hongrun's explanation and explanation, Shen Shufei gradually let go of her worries about her youngest son.

She said a little embarrassedly: "It's not that my mother is biased, Run'er, you have led the troops to go out many times, and every time you come back from a big victory, my mother is somewhat relieved in her heart, but she is worried that you will not eat well outside and live well." But your brother has no experience with it......"

Seeing that Concubine Shen Shufei was a little nervous and wanted to explain, Zhao Hongrun smiled indifferently, after all, after so many years, how could he not know which son the adoptive mother in front of him was better.

He smiled and said with relief: "Don't worry, mother, according to the child's opinion, the war in the northern Xinjiang has been stalemate, the Korean cavalry is strong, but my Great Wei's infantry is not weak, the child has read the battle report in the northern Xinjiang, whether it is Shanyang, where the four royal brothers are located, or Xiaoxuan, where they are located, they are very smart, and they never confront the Korean cavalry in the plains......"

Speaking of this, when he saw Concubine Shen Shufei showing a blank expression, he knew that this mother concubine didn't know about the soldiers, so he said simply and clearly: "In short, Xiao Xuan will be fine." Let him sharpen and sharpen in northern Xinjiang, didn't you always say that Xiao Xuan was timid in the past, maybe when Xiao Xuan comes back, he will already be a strong man. ”

"That's good." Concubine Shen Shufei was said by Zhao Hongrun.

After all, in her opinion, the eldest son has become a weapon, and she doesn't need to worry too much, if the younger son can achieve the same achievements as his brother, then she, as a mother, can be regarded as having fulfilled her wish in this life.

The rest is to handle the marriage of the two sons.

Thinking of this, Concubine Shen Shufei began to test Zhao Hongrun, but Zhao Hongrun had no choice but to escape by taking advantage of the sky.

Seeing that her eldest son was going to escape, Concubine Shen Shufei had no choice, so after asking Zhao Hongrun to promise to come to Ningxiang Palace again tomorrow for dinner, she let him go.

However, all the women, including Mi Jiang, were left behind by Concubine Shen Shu, and she wanted to come to this future mother-in-law, and she also had endless words to say to these daughters-in-law.

And in this regard, Zhao Hongrun was also relieved, after all, if Concubine Shen Shufei didn't stay overnight, he would really not be able to deal with a question: that is, to sleep with him tonight?

Miss Sue? Una? Or is it very likely that he will be forcibly pulled over by his stupid sister?

After returning to King Su's Mansion, Zhao Hongrun took a comfortable bath, and then rested early.

After all, from Qufu, the royal capital of the Lu State, he crossed the territory of the Wei State all the way back to Daliang, and he did not rest much during the period, and he was also extremely tired.

In the early morning of the next day, Zongwei Changwei Jiao woke up Zhao Hongrun early.

After having breakfast in the palace, Zhao Hongrun took Wei Jiao, Lu Mu and other five Zongwei to the Smelting Bureau.

At this time, the smelting bureau has moved the workshops to the outside of the city one after another, and the smelting bureau in the city of Daliang is actually only an empty shell, after all, the city is not like the outside of the city, and there is not enough land for the smelting bureau to expand the workshop, hearth and other facilities.

When he came to the Smelting Bureau, Zhao Hongrun unexpectedly found that the plaque outside the gate of the Smelting Bureau had been replaced by the General Administration of Metallurgy.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun was really stunned for a moment, because the General Administration is the Department, which is the title of the six departments of Shangshu, such as the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Industry, and so on.

As one of the 24 divisions, the Metallurgical Bureau cannot afford the title of General Administration.

Just when Zhao Hongrun looked at the plaque with a strange expression, Wang Fu, the bureau of the Smelting Bureau, hurriedly ran out of the mansion, and bowed to His Royal Highness King Su in front of him with awe: "His Royal Highness King Su, Xia Guan Gong is late, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Zhao Hongrun didn't care about this kind of false courtesy, and waved his hand casually to show that he didn't care, and then, he bowed his mouth towards the plaque and asked, "Wang Fu, what's going on?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Fu said with a red face: "That's the case, Your Highness, when you are not in Daliang, my Metallurgical Bureau follows your proposition and develops quite rapidly, at the beginning of this year, the new secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Lord Meng Kui, feels that my Smelting Bureau has exceeded the scale of the Division, but the establishment is still the old one, which is not conducive to the development of the Smelting Bureau, therefore, Lord Meng Kui then asked Your Majesty to remove our Metallurgical Bureau from the 24 Divisions and establish the General Administration of Metallurgy. ”

Hearing this, Zong Wei Changwei said with a smile: "Your Highness, it seems that the new Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is showing favor to Your Highness." ”

Speaking of which, the Zongwei had a good relationship with the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and when Zhao Hongrun was not out of the cabinet, he asked the Zongwei to find the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to create some strange things.

Later, Zhao Hongrun led the troops for the first time, and Meng Kui, who was the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, also followed with a large group of craftsmen, so they were friends with each other.

But the problem is that it is precisely because he is a friend that Zhao Hongrun knows very well that according to Meng Kui's brainlessness, he can't think of such a way to show favor without leaking water and not giving outsiders a handle.

Most of it was the instruction of Cao Zhicao, the former secretary of the Ministry of Works......

Zhao Hongrun had already guessed a few points in his heart.

Obviously, Meng Kui had just taken over the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Cao Zhi, the former secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was worried that the successor would not be able to control the situation, so he came up with this method, hoping to get the support of the Smelting Bureau and His Royal Highness King Su behind the Smelting Bureau.

"Mu Qing, prepare a gift for me to Master Cao, and I will visit Master Cao in two days." Zhao Hongrun turned around and said to Mu Qing.

"Yes, let's go." Mu Qing hugged his fists, turned around and left.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun stepped into the smelting bureau under the welcome of Wang Fu.

The situation in the mansion is quite satisfactory, at least it is still the same as when Zhao Hongrun left, Wang Fu did not build any new unnecessary houses.

At the same time, Wang Fu said as he walked: "Your Highness, now that my Smelting Bureau has been upgraded to the General Administration of Metallurgy, the lower officials feel that there should be several departments and offices to make specific plans to facilitate the overall ......planning of manpower and material resources."

Of course, Zhao Hongrun understood the necessity and benefits, nodded and said, "Go back, you will draft a cursive script for this king to see." ”

"Yes." Wang Fu's face was full of joy.

Walking and walking, Zhao Hongrun saw a group of officials and craftsmen from the smelting bureau in front of him, he stepped forward to take a look, and found that those people were surrounding more than 20 carriages, full of excitement and fanaticism, looking like they wanted to demolish but did not dare to dismantle.

Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly, of course he recognized these carriages, after all, these carriages were the carriages he ordered Su Wang Wei to bring back from the Lu State, and the carriages were loaded with a summary of the craftsmanship of the Lu State - the rubbings of the "Lu Gong Secret Record".

"Your Highness is here."

"His Royal Highness King Su has come down."

Noticing the arrival of Zhao Hongrun and his party, the officials and craftsmen of the Zhongye Manufacturing Bureau hurriedly pushed away to both sides to leave a way for Zhao Hongrun.

I saw these people looking at Zhao Hongrun intently, with an eager look on their faces.

This is not surprising, after all, for officials and craftsmen who are keen on technical craftsmanship, the seemingly inconspicuous bamboo books on the twenty or so carriages in front of them are definitely treasures that are far more precious than gold, silver, jewelry, and jade agate.

At this time, Wang Fu said cautiously beside him: "These twenty or so carriages were transported by Su Wangwei yesterday...... I heard that it is a rubbings of "Lu Gong's Secret Record", and the big guys can't wait to see it......"

"So what are you waiting for?" Zhao Hongrun said with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, I heard the cheers of the officials and craftsmen present, and rushed towards the carriages, so frightened that Wang Fu immediately chased after them, and shouted vigorously: "Be careful, be careful!" ”

Looking at the surging crowd in front of him, Zhao Hongrun's heart was hot.

He had a hunch that after obtaining the top technology of the Lu State, their Wei State's technology would advance by leaps and bounds, and even catch up with and surpass the Lu State.

The state of Wei will rise rapidly!

Rise in the new era that has arrived! (To be continued.) )
