This incident happened on the fourth day of the fifth month, that is, the day before Duanyang Day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Generally in the early dynasty, it is stipulated that the courtiers who are qualified to enter the palace must arrive at the palace gate before the hour (three o'clock), and wait for the fifth watch, that is, the hour of Yin, the drum tower in the palace beats the drum, and then the palace ministers line up to come to the Xuanzheng Hall to participate in the court, unless there are special circumstances, it can generally end at the hour (five o'clock to seven o'clock).

Then, Wei Tianzi went to the Wende Hall to take a nap, and all the palace ministers also returned to the mansion to sleep for a while, had breakfast, and then at the time of Chen (seven o'clock), Wei Tianzi went to the vertical arch hall, and the palace ministers went to their respective mansions and began to deal with court affairs.

This is the general process of the early dynasty, but on the fourth day of the fifth month, the court will be suppressed, and it will be directly set at the time of the day, because today's court will be more special, and there are many people who do not have the honor of entering the palace to listen to politics, and they have made an exception to get the qualification to enter the palace.

Take the people around Zhao Hongrun, the general Wu Ji of the Shang Water Army, the deputy generals Zhai Huang and Nanmen Chi, as well as the generals of the Yanling Army, Qu Cheng, the deputy generals Yan Mo and Gong Yesheng, and the great overseer of the Northern Sichuan Cavalry, Bo Xile, got this honor today and obtained the qualification to enter the Xuanzheng Palace.

Don't look at it just today, it's actually quite remarkable. Millions of citizens up and down the Wei State, how many people are qualified to step into the Xuanzheng Palace?

Generally speaking, there are only the six departments of the imperial court, such as Shangshu and Shilang, and other important members of the court, in addition, there are very few people who have received the honor of entering the court to listen to politics, and even the sons of Wei Tianzi are not all qualified, for example, Zhao Hongyin, the king of the seventh prince Xi, and Zhao Hongxuan, the king of the ninth emperor, have not received this honor so far.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is indeed something to brag about for a lifetime.

Because of this, the interest of the seven generals under Zhao Hongrun's command was very high, especially the Grand Overseer of the Northern Sichuan Cavalry, Bosil, because he never thought that he would have the honor to witness the king of Wei with his identity as a "criminal general".

Out of joy in their hearts, the seven generals settled their respective armies a few days earlier, and then came to Daliang, the capital of the king of Wei, and after visiting Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, they stayed in the palace of the king of Su, and drank every day with joy and sorrow.

Happily, this time, as the heroes of the victory of the Sanchuan Battle of Qin and Wei, they entered the court to listen to the government, which is simply incredible for the Chu people and the Sanchuan people; The worry is that they are afraid that they will make some inappropriate faux pas because they do not understand the etiquette and customs of the Wei State.

Fortunately, Zhao Hongrun told them in advance that this time he entered the court to listen to the government, purely to let them brush their faces in the court and give them a special honor, and they didn't have to speak from beginning to end.

Hearing this, the seven generals breathed a sigh of relief.

In the early morning of the same day, at about two o'clock, Zhao Hongrun was woken up by Zongwei Changwei Jiao with a yawn, and took seven generals including Qu Cheng and Wu Ji to prepare to go to the palace.

Originally, Zhao Hongrun planned to take a carriage, because then he could still take a nap in the carriage on the way to the palace.

The problem is that seven generals such as Qu Cheng and Wu Ji entered the hall this time to brush their faces and sense of existence, so they were all wearing mighty armor, and it was inconvenient to take the carriage.

Seeing the nervous appearance of these people, Zhao Hongrun also gave up the idea of riding in the carriage and rode to the palace with these generals.

"His Royal Highness King Su, entering the court and listening to politics should be commonplace for you, right?"

On the way to the palace on horseback, Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Water Army, had an expression of gain and loss.

"Huh? What do you want to ask? Zhao Hongrun asked with a smile.

Not to mention, Zhao Hongrun is indeed one of the few people in Wei who is qualified to enter the court and listen to politics, but he almost does not go.

The reason is simple, he can't get up that early.

You know, on weekdays, it is not a special situation, the early dynasty is set in Yinshi, and at that time, a certain Su Wang was sleeping soundly, let him get up and go to the morning dynasty? Joke!

If it weren't for Wei Tianzi, he didn't force Zhao Hongrun to go to court every day, otherwise, Zhao Hongrun would definitely pretend to be sick every day for 360 days a year.

"What does the last general mean, is there some kind of rule for this to enter the court and listen to the government?" Wu Ji asked hesitantly.

Hearing what he said, the other six generals also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun and the Zongwei laughed heartily.

You must know that the seven generals of Qu Cheng and Wu Ji, but the most outstanding generals in several armies under the command of King Su Zhao Hongrun, have gradually become able to take charge on the battlefield, and it is hard to imagine that they will be timid today.

Shaking his head with a smile, Zhao Hongrun once again comforted them and said: "Didn't this king say it, today is purely for you to visit the palace of my Great Wei, meet my father and the hundred officials of the court, and then ...... If nothing else, there should be a celebration feast today and tomorrow, where you heroes can eat and drink as much as you want, and there will be rewards to receive after you are done...... That's it. ”

Hearing this, the generals were relieved.

Chatting, Zhao Hongrun and his party came to the gate of the palace.

Today's palace is much stricter than usual, and even Zhao Hongrun saw Li Cheng, the president of the Three Guards, standing outside the palace gate.

After seeing Zhao Hongrun and his party, Li Cheng took the initiative to come over and greeted him with a fist: "His Royal Highness King Su, congratulations." A few days ago, the battle of Sanchuan County can be described as shocking to the world. ”

At this time, Zhao Hongrun had already turned over and dismounted, and bowed his hand and saluted: "Uncle Li has won the award, how can Xiao Wang make meritorious deeds, all of them are the merits of the generals under his command." As he spoke, he introduced seven generals including Qu Cheng and Wu Ji to Li Cheng, and also vaguely introduced Li Cheng to the seven generals, a big man who was not a general but was better than a general.

Qu Cheng, Wu Ji and others greeted each other with Li Cheng, and then, Li Cheng said apologetically and said a routine, I hope you don't mind, so he asked the guards to search everyone's body, after all, Qu Cheng, Wu Ji and other generals are all foreign generals, and they are all from Chu or Sanchuan County, so according to the regulations, they must be searched.

And Qu Cheng, Wu Ji and others also understood this, and handed over their swords very cooperatively, and then let the guards search their bodies.

During the body search of the guards, Zhao Hongrun asked Li Cheng: "Uncle Li, how many people are qualified to enter the Xuanzheng Hall today?" As he spoke, he looked around, because at this moment outside the palace gate, there were many strangers standing, all of them well-dressed, and they didn't look like ordinary people no matter how they moved.

And these people are also being searched by the guards.

As if noticing Zhao Hongrun's gaze, Li Cheng lowered his voice and said, "The Northern First Army...... Behind the scenes. ”

Zhao Hongrun understood as soon as he heard it.

The so-called Northern First Army, that is, the First Army of the Northern Xinjiang Expedition, that is, the army of Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, served as the commander.

The generals of this army are all cobbled together by the nobles in the Wei State, and the member factions are very complex, some support the prince of the East Palace, and some support the Yongwang Hongyu, and the internal situation is particularly unstable, so Zhao Hongrun insinuated that this army was a rabble at the beginning.

In fact, it also proved that this army was indeed useless, and in the Northern Xinjiang Campaign, it was far inferior to the Northern Second Army of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and the Northern Third Army of Jiang Contempt.

At least according to what Zhao Hongrun had heard, this army was purely following Jiang Yan to pick up cheap, which was simply a loss of face for the Wei army.

However, Zhao Hongrun is not easy to say clearly, after all, his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, King Huan, is the deputy commander of this army.

Out of sight is pure.

After Qu Cheng, Wu Ji and others finished the search, Zhao Hongrun said goodbye to Li Cheng, and walked into the palace with the guards, Qu Cheng and others, and walked in the direction of the Xuanzheng Palace.

On the way to the Xuanzheng Palace, Zhao Hongrun met his second brother, Yongwang Hongyu.

Yongwang Hongyu also noticed him, walked over with a smile, and greeted: "Hongrun, the battle of Sanchuan is really to promote the national prestige of my Great Wei!" ”

Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

I have to say that no matter who he meets recently, the other party will mention the victory of the Sanchuan Battle of Qin and Wei.

In his opinion, there was actually nothing to say about that victory, it was just that the Wei army's combat weapons and tactics were more than one step ahead of the Qin army, so the Qin army was completely crushed.

What credit does he have for Zhao Hongrun?

If you want to say that there is any credit, it is only that he vigorously supported the development of the Smelting Bureau, and, when the Qin army was defeated in the Battle of Sanchuan, he was ruthless and mercilessly slaughtered 200,000 Qin troops, giving Qin a painful lesson.

"Who are these two?"

Zhao Hongrun diverted the topic, because he saw Yongwang Hongyu beside him, followed by two middle-aged people, who seemed to be very close to Yongwang Hongyu.

He took a closer look and felt that these two middle-aged people were very strange, and they should have never seen each other.

"It's the two uncles of the foolish brother, Shi Rong and Shi Fen." Yongwang Hongyu introduced.

It turned out to be the uncle of the second brother, a member of the Shi family......

Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized, and bowed to Shi Rong and Shi Fen, but the two didn't dare to say goodbye, and hurriedly returned the salute.

After all, although Shi Rong and Shi Fen are considered elders, they don't dare to stand in front of Zhao Hongrun, especially after the Battle of Sanchuan in Qin and Wei a while ago, do you really think that Zhao Hongrun ordered to kill all 200,000 Qin soldiers in one day, and it was only the Qin people who were scared?

On the way to the Xuanzheng Palace, Zhao Hongrun said to King Yongyu with a smile: "These days, the younger brother heard that Daliang has spread some public opinion, saying how wise the East Palace is in the northern Xinjiang, and it has regained ......lost territory one after another."

"Haha." King Yong Hongyu laughed twice, and said indifferently: "Donggong is lucky, and he picked up a lot of bargains behind General Jiang Wei. ”

Looking at Yongwang Hongyu's expression, Zhao Hongrun was surprised and tentatively said, "Brother Wang doesn't seem to be worried. ”

Hearing this, Yongwang Hongyu blinked his eyes and said mysteriously: "Hongrun, there is a good show today, you have to wait and see." As he spoke, he patted Zhao Hongrun's arm and led the two uncles to leave first.

Fun?

Looking at the back of Yongwang Hongyu leaving, Zhao Hongrun wondered a little in his heart: Could it be that this brother Wang, what other countermeasures do he have?

He was guessing, and suddenly, Zongwei Changwei Jiao seemed to see something, frowned slightly, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Huan is in front." ”

Hongxuan?

Zhao Hongrun subconsciously raised his head, and happened to see Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, leading a large group of people from a distance, and his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, was actually in the team of the prince of the East Palace for some reason, and even talked and laughed with Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace.

Spread the word to him......

Zhao Hongrun frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Go and call him over!" ”

"Yes."

Wei Jiao nodded and walked towards the team of the East Palace Prince Hongli in the distance.
