A moment later, the head of the sect guard, Wei Jiao, led the Huan King Zhao Hongxuan and his sect guards to Zhao Hongrun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Brother, are you here?"
Zhao Hongxuan greeted Zhao Hongrun warmly.
It's no wonder, after all, the brothers haven't seen each other since the outbreak of the Northern Xinjiang Battle last year, and it's been almost a year so far.
As a younger brother, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, also misses his brother very much.
But facing the earnest Zhao Hongxuan, Zhao Hongrun's face was not very good-looking, and he frowned and asked, "Hongxuan, what are you doing with Zhao Hongli?" Didn't I tell you to stay away from him? "Zhao Hongli in his mouth, that is, the prince of the East Palace.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongxuan opened his mouth and said hesitantly: "Brother, you call Donggong ...... like this"
"......" Zhao Hongrun didn't say a word, just stared at his younger brother intently, and interrupted his younger brother's preaching with his eyes.
Probably afraid of his brother's majesty, Zhao Hongxuan said with a wistful face: "I didn't get very close, it's just that the East Palace is the commander, I am the deputy marshal, and the affairs of the army have to be discussed by the two of us......
"Discuss military affairs?" Zhao Hongrun grinned, pouted and said, "Discuss military affairs with you?" ā
"Brother, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Hongxuan said with some displeasure: "When I was in Northern Xinjiang, I also worked very hard...... Although I didn't do as well as brother. ā
He wanted to refute, but when he thought that the brother in front of him was the commander who single-handedly contributed to the victory of the Qin and Wei Sanchuan battles, Zhao Hongxuan couldn't help but be a little discouraged.
The gap between the two sides is simply too great.
Look at the army under the command of the elder brother in front of you, the Shang Water Army, the Yanling Army, and the Northern Sichuan Cavalry, after fighting the Chu State and the Qin State, one victory after another, all of which shocked the world; Look at the Northern First Army, first by the Korean army, and then by the Qin army that entered Hedong County in the east, a lot of territory was grabbed, and it was only by picking up credit behind the general Jiang Yan to save some face.
The two are not of the same grade at all.
Noticing the look of sorrow on his younger brother's face, Zhao Hongrun realized that there was something wrong with his words, so he changed his words and said, "Hongxuan, brother doesn't mean anything else. ā¦ā¦ It's your first time on an expedition, and the opponent is a strong enemy, South Korea, and it is already a very remarkable thing to be able to maintain your undefeated. Brother just wants to tell you that Zhao Hongli's so-called discussion of military affairs with you is just to win you over......"
Unexpectedly, hearing this, Zhao Hongxuan's face was even more unhappy, and he asked in a complicated tone: "Why must you be wooing me?" Because I have a brother who holds military power and wins every battle? ā¦ā¦ Does it have to be like this? ā
"......" Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth, and was a little stunned by his younger brother.
At this time, Zhao Hongxuan also realized his gaffe, adjusted his emotions, and said sincerely: "Brother, you are prejudiced against the prince. Maybe at the beginning, the prince did recommend me to be the deputy commander of the Northern First Army for this reason, but during those days in the northern Xinjiang, we both worked hard...... You didn't see it with your own eyes, so you won't believe it. When we first counterattacked Quwo, the prince and I tried our best to think about strategies to conquer the enemy city, and sometimes we didn't even care about eating......
"Qu Wo, it was General Jiang Wei who beat him." Zhao Hongrun said lightly.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongxuan's face flushed, clenched his fists with some excitement, and said sullenly after half a sound: "Yes...... Quwo was defeated by General Jiang Cong, and without General Jiang Cong, it would have been impossible for our Northern First Army to conquer that fortified city. ā¦ā¦ Many people think so, they only saw General Jiang Wei's Northern Third Army, but never saw the sacrifice of our Northern First Army. ā¦ā¦ It's not worse than one more brother you. ā
With that, he flicked his sleeve angrily, turned around and wanted to leave.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun shouted in a low voice: "Stop! ā
Zhao Hongxuan stopped as he said and looked back at Zhao Hongrun with a little resentment.
"Where are you going?" Zhao Hongrun frowned and said.
I saw Zhao Hongxuan look at Zhao Hongrun for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The general of the defeated army is naturally with the general of the defeated army." ā
With that, he turned and left.
Glancing at Zhao Hongrun in embarrassment, Zhao Hongxuan's Zongwei chief Zhang Biao looked embarrassed, and after hugging his fist towards Zhao Hongrun, he hurriedly chased after the Zongwei with his guards.
Looking at the back of his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan who left angrily, Zhao Hongrun's brows furrowed deeply, and asked Zong Wei Gao Kuo: "Gao Kuo, Hongxuan, have you been very close to the East Palace in recent days?" ā
Gao Kuo and the others had just returned from the merchant army, and they didn't know what was happening in the northern Xinjiang, so they clenched their fists and said: "I don't know about this lowly position, and the lowly position will let the green crows inquire." ā
Zhao Hongrun nodded when he heard this, and then, he looked up at the back of his younger brother in the distance, shook his head slightly, and muttered: "I went to Northern Xinjiang, I didn't learn anything else, but I learned to talk to me......"
Seeing this, Zong Wei Zhou Pu persuaded in a low voice beside him: "Your Highness, you must know that as your younger brother, His Royal Highness King Huan is also under great pressure. ā¦ā¦ is raised by the same mother, and the elder brother will win every battle, and of course the younger brother dares to make some achievements. ā¦ā¦ You shouldn't despise the Northern First Army, at least in front of His Royal Highness King Huan, because His Royal Highness King Huan is the deputy commander of the Northern First Army......"
"......" Zhao Hongrun was silent.
In the middle of the sound, he exhaled deeply, and took Qu Cheng, Wu Ji and others who were pretending to be deaf and dumb next to him to the Xuanzheng Palace.
At the moment of waiting, the door of the Xuanzheng Hall was opened, and the crowd in the square outside the palace silently walked into the hall in turn.
During this period, Zhao Hongrun saw many familiar faces that he rarely saw in the morning court on weekdays.
For example, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, Jiang Wei, and Shaohu, the general of Wei Wujun, it seems that many heroes of the Northern Xinjiang Campaign were invited to this court meeting.
In addition, there are Lintao Jun Wei Ji, Zhu Jun Zhao Sheng, Zongfu Zongzheng Zhao Yuanyan, Zongfu Zongling Zhao Yuanyan, and so on.
After entering the Xuanzheng Palace, Zhao Hongrun went straight to the east side, according to the order of the brothers, standing under Zhao Hongxin, the king of Qing, while Qu Cheng, Wu Ji and others stood behind Zhao Hongrun.
During this period, Zhao Hongrun glanced up at the direction of Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, and then frowned.
Because he saw that his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan was standing next to Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, and the two whispered something.
I don't know if I noticed Zhao Hongrun's gaze, Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, glanced up at Zhao Hongrun, but was glared back by Zhao Hongrun with cold eyes: Look at the fart!
Maybe it's because Jiwei is still there, maybe it's because the East Palace doesn't want to offend Zhao Hongrun, maybe it's because he's in a good mood today, maybe it's something else, in short, the prince of the East Palace immediately looked away, and he didn't seem to be angry or have a seizure.
This made Zhao Hongrun feel more and more unhappy.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
With a screaming chant outside the hall, Wei Tianzi stepped into the Xuanzheng Palace, accompanied by the great eunuch Tong Xian, and walked straight to the dragon chair.
Suddenly, the hall fell to its knees.
"Zhongqing is flat."
Compared with Zhao Hongrun's bad mood at the moment, Wei Tianzi was in a good mood, with a smile on his face.
It is no wonder, after all, in the near time, first the Qin and Wei Sanchuan battles were achieved by the Wei State to achieve a shocking victory, and then in the northern Xinjiang, South Korea temporarily withdrew troops, which means that the Wei State can finally withdraw from the quagmire of war, which makes Wei Tianzi really happy.
It is precisely because of this that today's Wei Tianzi looks particularly kind, and he is kind and amiable without the slightest anger.
He said with a smile at the beginning: "Come on, come on, let me see the fierce general who killed the Qin people to the point of losing their armor!" ā¦ā¦ Hongrun, are you reluctant to introduce your fierce generals to me? ā
Hearing this, a good-natured chuckle sounded in the hall, except for the Wang clan who had grievances with Zhao Hongrun, most of the rest of the people showed a kind look, especially the Lintao Jun Wei Ji, the Zhujun Zhao Sheng, the general Jiang Wei and other former Longxi Wei people.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun suppressed the irritability in his heart, took Qu Cheng, Wu Ji and other seven generals out of the ranks, and said with a smile: "Father said that he was laughing. ā
After that, he introduced Qu Cheng, Wu Ji and others in public, and spared no effort to commend their exploits in the Battle of Sanchuan in Qin and Wei, so that everyone in the palace praised them.
As Zhao Hongrun said, Wei Tianzi gave Qu Cheng, Wu Ji and others the honor of entering the palace to listen to politics today, in fact, it is to let these people brush their faces and increase their popularity, on the one hand, to make Qu Cheng, Wu Ji and others more loyal to Wei, and on the other hand, to let people from other countries who defected to Wei see hope, and it is a reason to buy horse bones with their daughters.
But it is undeniable that after today, Qu Cheng, Wu Ji and others can be regarded as stepping into the upper echelon of the powerful people of the Wei State, I don't know how many people will cling to them in various ways - most of them don't have the courage to woo them, after all, in today's Wei State, how many people dare to dig into the corner of a certain His Royal Highness King Su? But if there is a daughter or niece who is not yet married, he will marry a past, like this kind of thing, even if it is a certain His Royal Highness King Su, he will turn a blind eye.
As Qu Cheng, Wu Ji and other generals returned to the team with red faces, the topic of court affairs shifted from the Battle of Sanchuan of Qin and Wei to the Battle of Northern Xinjiang.
Then, the Donggong Party, led by the Wang family, began to advocate the exploits of Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, in the war in northern Xinjiang.
The military exploits of Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, in the northern Xinjiang cannot be compared with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, the general Jiang Wei, the general Shaohu and others, not to mention Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, but as long as he has a strong reputation with King Yong, this is enough.
After all, at present, the biggest rival of Zhao Hongli, the crown prince of the East Palace, is Zhao Hongyu, the king of Yong.
Unexpectedly, at this time, King Yongwang Hongyu suddenly made a ruthless move, and actually handed over all the gains obtained by his uncle Shi in northern Xinjiang, including the recovered land and seized property, to the imperial court.
That high-sounding remark suddenly stunned the prince of the East Palace and the party of the East Palace.
The Yongwang Party is willing to hand over all the gains in northern Xinjiang to the imperial court, which seems to be a righteous country, but the question is, how much can the Yongwang Party gain in northern Xinjiang?
Dozens of miles of land? A dozen carts of belongings?
You must know that when the Yongwang Party was in northern Xinjiang, it was suppressed by the Donggong Party, and it didn't get much at all!
But what about the East Palace Party?
They cheekily followed General Jiang Cong's Northern Third Army, which was a lot of lost land and a lot of wealth.
Originally, the party part of the East Palace of these things, whether it was Wei Tianzi or the imperial court, would not say anything, after all, everything in the Northern First Army was prepared by the domestic nobles themselves, so even if some post-war gains were intercepted, this should be.
But King Yong's words seemed to roast the East Palace Party on the stove.
Na, it was completely compared with the Yongwang Party in terms of "righteousness", and the public opinion completely fell to Yongwang.
If you don't take it, you will lose a lot of money and manpower, and the bamboo basket will be empty, and you will even be unable to make ends meet.
For a while, the prince of the East Palace, Hongli, and the East Palace Party all looked at the smiling King Yong Hongyu with resentful eyes.
scolded in my heart: How can this guy be so vicious?!
