On the second day of April in the seventeenth year of Hongde, the east gate of Daliang was full of people.

Because today, at this time, the emperor of the Great Wei will lead the prince of the East Palace, the princes, and the hundreds of officials in the court to meet the heroes who defeated the Chu State and returned triumphantly at the east gate: Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and the soldiers of the Junshui Battalion under his command.

I saw the east gate at this time, crowded with people, I believe that the people of the big beams who have come to the east gate of the bee chrysalis all want to compete to see the royal leader who is only fifteen years old this year, the eighth son of the Son of Heaven, and Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

At this time, outside the entire east gate, it was very lively, and the people of the dense beam were looking forward to it, and sometimes they were discussing with the surrounding neighbors, guessing whether His Royal Highness King Su was tall or short, fat or thin.

Listening to the hot discussions around him, Wei Tianzi, who was sitting on the imperial chariot, felt a chill: Who would have thought that the one they wanted to greet the most had already quietly slipped back to the palace at this moment?

"Humph! Two wins and two losses? Hey, hey......

Wei Tianzi smiled wickedly on the emperor's chariot, the kind of smile that seemed to be a person when he collapsed, which made the great eunuch Tong Xian, who was waiting on the side, tremble for a while: His Royal Highness King Su has returned to the palace, and it seems that the palace will become more lively in the future......

And at this moment, the crowd did not know who shouted: "Here it is, here it is!" ”

"Are you here?"

Wei Tianzi's heart was tight, and he finally restored the prestige of the Son of Heaven, although his son embarrassed him a little, but in addition to the inferior son, there were still many meritorious people in this battle, such as the former Zongwei and the current general of the Junshui Battalion.

I saw that in the distance, a cloud of snow and dust was raised, and countless strong Great Wei cavalry acted as the vanguard, showing the people of the east gate of Daliang at this moment the majesty of their Wei cavalry.

At the front of the team, the general of the Junshui Army rode a high-headed horse and slowly approached the east gate.

"Is this His Royal Highness King Su? It's not like you're only fifteen......"

"Nonsense! This is the general of my Great Wei Junshui Battalion. General Bailiba! ”

"That'...... Which one is His Royal Highness King Su? ”

"I don't know ......"

"In other words, why is the general of Bailiba one? Shouldn't it be His Royal Highness King Su? ”

"I don't know ......"

As he passed by the procession on both sides of the road, he couldn't help but cry and laugh when he heard the voices of the people talking about it.

Indeed, it stands to reason that he is the biggest contributor to this battle. Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, should ride a horse and walk in the first place, and accept the welcome of the people of Daliang as soon as possible.

But the problem is, His Highness is not in the army at the moment!

Just when Baili Ba was in a trance, he suddenly saw the imperial chariot in front of him, Wei Tianzi slowly walked the imperial chariot, standing in front of the imperial chariot and waiting.

Bailiba was shocked, and hurriedly pinched the horse's belly, causing the horse to trot for a while, and waited until it was about ten zhang away from the Son of Heaven. He grabbed the reins of the horse, turned over and dismounted, took the reins and walked closely in front of the Son of Heaven, knocked on the ground with one knee, hugged his fists and said in a deep voice: "Bailiba, fortunately I did not insult the emperor!" ”

Looking at the once young Zong Wei, who was now a beard, Wei Tianzi couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Stretched out his hand and bent down to help Baili Bao up, and said in a deep voice: "General Baili, please get up!" ”

Let's talk about it. The Son of Heaven couldn't help but whispered: "Baili, you are also old......"

If the previous sentence is just a routine, then the latter sentence of the Son of Heaven's emotion makes Bailiba's heart warm for a while, and he can't help but recall the time when their master and servant were together.

At that time, Wei Tianzi was heroic. Is it the appearance of gray temples like this?

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bailiba shouted, and then said in a low voice: "When I saw Your Majesty last year, Your Majesty's temples were not like this...... Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body. ”

Wei Tianzi nodded and helped Bailiba up.

The Zongwei system of the Great Wei Dynasty has always made it difficult to give up the friendship between the princes and their guards. Just as Zongwei Shen Yu bluntly said to the Son of Heaven at the beginning, he was loyal to Zhao Hongrun, the Eighth Highness, not Wei Tianzi, and then like the current Zhao Yuanxi and Bailiba, even if one party is already the Son of Heaven and the other is also a general, the relationship between the two of them is far more than the love of the monarch and the minister.

This is the reason why the Zongfu formulated the Zongwei system in the first place, and it is also the meaning of the existence of Zongwei.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Su ......"

"I have already learned that as soon as the bad son returned to Daliang, he gave me a dismount. …… Do you have any plans for this? ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, a young soldier has been arranged to pretend to be His Royal Highness King Su......"

"Well, don't let the people down......"

The two of them talked in a whisper.

At this time, the people of Daliang around them suddenly burst into a shout that resounded through the sky, it turned out that they saw a young knight in luxurious armor, not only young and handsome, but also full of golden armor and red robes, with extraordinary majesty.

Therefore, these people of Daliang took it for granted that this was Zhao Hongrun, the most powerful Su King of Daliang at the moment, and cheered in unison.

"King Su! King Su! ”

"King Su! King Su! ”

I saw that in the greeting of all the people, the knight pretending to be Zhao Hongrun waved his hand to the people, and then turned over and dismounted like a hundred miles away, knocked on the ground and said to Wei Tianzi: "Emperor, fortunately, I am not dishonored!" ”

In the heartfelt shouts of congratulations from the people of Daliang, Wei Tianzi helped the knight in front of him who pretended to be his son with great emotion.

He couldn't help but begin to fantasize about how good it would be if his son was really as obedient as the knight in front of him.

It's a pity that when he thought of that inferior son, Wei Tianzi's mind couldn't help but imprint Zhao Hongrun's exaggerated laughter outside the Vertical Arch Palace.

"How unreasonable......

Although he was so angry that the corners of his forehead were bruised, Wei Tianzi still helped the knight in front of him with a smile.

After all, although Zhao Hongrun didn't care about this kind of thing, as the king of Great Wei, Wei Tianzi had to take into account the people in Daliang City and make sure not to disappoint them.

No, when Wei Tianzi helped up the knight in front of him who pretended to be his son, all the nearby Daliang people congratulated and shouted from the bottom of their hearts, after all, the status of the Ji clan in the hearts of the Wei people is still extremely lofty, and the royal family has such an outstanding prince as Zhao Hongrun, and the Wei people are generally proud and happy.

However, in the distance, those who had seen Zhao Hongrun, their expressions looked a little strange.

For example, Zhao Hongrun's royal brothers.

"That's Hongrun ......"

"I can't see it clearly...... However, I always feel that the behavior is not quite like it. ”

When Wei Tianzi led "Zhao Hongrun" to approach, the expressions of the princes like the princes of the East Palace, Hongli, Yongwang Hongyu, and Xiangwang Hongjing, became even more strange.

"It's not ......

"That kid is also bold, dare to ask someone to pretend on this occasion?"

"Looking at the faces of my father and General Baili, I don't seem to be surprised by this...... It seems that they already knew.'

Hongli, Hongyu, and Hongjing thought for a while, and greeted them with a smile, pretending not to notice anything wrong.

Among them, the expression of Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, is the most strange.

You must know that Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, originally planned to play the "Su Wang Po Chu Xuancheng Jun Soldier Array" composed by his staff member Luo Ying at this time, and win over Zhao Hongrun, the brother who is currently the most powerful brother in Daliang, but who would have thought that Zhao Hongrun would dare to release everyone's pigeons.

This kind of faceless practice made the prince of the East Palace, Hongli, very angry.

But at this moment, he also knew that he couldn't show it, not to mention that he was just a knight pretending to be his brother in front of him, even if it was a pair of empty armor, he could only admit it.

"Playing music!"

With the instruction of the prince of the East Palace, the musicians behind him who had already prepared immediately played the "Su Wang Breaking Chu Xuancheng Jun Soldier Array".

That song, listening to it, really has a mighty force like a golden iron horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

Subsequently, the emperor of the Son of Heaven and the mounts of Bailiba, as well as the knight who pretended to be Zhao Hongrun, followed the route arranged by the imperial court and led the Wei soldiers of the Junshui Army to slowly enter the city from the east gate.

I saw that on both sides of the horizontal street in the city, there were also countless Liang people in the middle of the road to welcome their heroes of Dawei.

In the crowd, Zhao Hongrun's confidante, Miss Su from the Water Pavilion and Yahuan Luer were also mixed in.

She originally thought that her lover "Jiang Run" was the Su King Zhao Hongrun, but now that she looked at it, she felt that the "His Royal Highness Su Wang" riding on the horse was very unfamiliar, and it was completely different from the "Jiang Run" in her memory.

"It's not ......."

Miss Su, who found that she had guessed wrong, was not disappointed in her heart, but secretly relieved.

Because in her opinion, if her lover "Jiang Run" is really the Su King Zhao Hongrun, then the possibility that the two of them can finally come together is even more and more small.

After all, it was King Su, the son of the Great Wei Emperor, and she was just a clear child in the Water Pavilion, no matter how she cleaned herself in the past, she didn't necessarily know that the Great Wei Ji clan would allow her to marry into the royal family, even if it was a concubine.

"It seems like it's just a coincidence...... Jiang Gongzi should have really gone to his hometown."

Miss Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, she frowned, because he noticed that not far away, there was a richly dressed rich boy staring at her intently, and the other party's undisguised greedy eyes made Miss Su, who already had a heart, very displeased.

"Lu'er, let's go back."

"Oh." Lu'er thought that her own young lady was disappointed, nodded obediently, and took her own young lady's arm, and the master and servant returned to a water pavilion.

And the rich and noble son, who had been staring at Miss Su just now, was looking at the departing master and servant, and muttered to himself in surprise and surprise: "I can't imagine that Da Liang has such a beautiful woman with skin like jade." ”

With that, he whispered to his attendants, "Go and find out where that woman belongs to." ”

"Yes, Shizi."

I'm afraid that Zhao Hongrun didn't expect that although he had just returned to Daliang, his huge amount of money and goods extorted from the Chu State had already aroused the coveting of many people.

After all, it was a lot of money, far more than the income tax collected by the imperial household department for several years, and many people wanted a piece of it. (To be continued.) )
