"Say it's helping...... In fact, he was worried that Sima An would indiscriminately kill the innocent people of Sanchuan, right? ”

Glancing at Zhao Hongrun, Wei Tianzi teased with a smile: "For example, the Qingyang tribe...... As far as I know, I heard from your sixth uncle that there is a little girl named Una in the Qingyang tribe who stayed in your tent for two nights......"

"What a mouth, Uncle Six!"

Zhao Hongrun secretly scolded the mouthy Sixth Uncle Zhao Yuanyan in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said with a straight face: "Erchen is focusing on the overall situation. …… In fact, Erchen did not think that General Sima An would be the best candidate to go to Yinrong, but at present, only the Dangshan Army was available, and there was no way to do it. However, even so, Erchen felt that it was necessary to send someone to General Sima An's side, so as not to make a 'bad decision'. ”

Wei Tianzi naturally understood what his son's "bad decision" meant, after all, Sima An was a Zongwei who had followed him for more than ten or twenty years, how could he not understand the character of this Zongwei.

It was precisely because of his clear understanding that Wei Tianzi wanted to remind the son in front of him.

"Hongrun, do you think you can control Sima An?"

"Pilot?"

Zhao Hongrun was surprised that his father, the emperor, actually used the word "control".

After all, with Sima An's identity, it is not appropriate to use the word "control", even for Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

As if seeing the doubts in Zhao Hongrun's heart, Wei Tianzi chuckled and said, "'The only one who can control Sima An is his father', do you want to say that?" But that is not the real purpose of my question. ”

After a pause, Wei Tianzi said in a deep voice: "You should already know that Bailiba, Xu Yin, Sima An, Li Cheng, and Zhu Hai, the general of Chenggao Pass, are all Zongwei ...... when I was the prince."

"Of course I do. …… I also know that you were the first ten Zongwei. There are only five left. Hmm, but then again, there are only five Zongwei left around the third uncle......

Zhao Hongrun muttered secretly.

Although it is not clear the specific process of the civil strife that occurred in Daliang seventeen years ago, from the fact that Wei Tianzi and the Zongwei around Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, were almost half killed in the battle, we can think of how tragic the turmoil was back then.

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun didn't speak, Wei Tianzi might have been mistaken. He said to himself: "Sima An, that guy is not as kind and easy to talk as Bailiba, if you disagree with him, or even anger him, even if you have the title of 'King Su' on your head, even if you are my son, he will let you understand that he is the commander of the first army." ”

"Ah, a conceited man......

Zhao Hongrun recalled in his mind the Sima An he had seen at the celebration banquet three months ago.

If you say that among the three generals at that time. Bailiba's impression of Zhao Hongrun is kind, and Xu Yin's impression of Zhao Hongrun is straightforward, so Sima An is a person who is gloomy and silent, and the aura of a general is extremely strong.

So much so that at that time, when Sima An raised his glass of wine to Zhao Hongrun because Zhao Hongrun shared the post-war benefits with him Dangshan Army, Zhao Hongrun actually had the illusion of being flattered.

What does this mean?

This means that Sima An's aura is so strong that Zhao Hongrun is obviously the eighth son of the emperor and the king of Su, and he subconsciously ranks his status behind the general.

This is both the so-called coercion. People instinctively dare not take offense.

How easy is it to control such a stubborn, proud, and conceited general?

I thought about it. Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said: "Erchen doesn't mean to control General Sima An, Erchen just hopes that when General Sima An makes a wrong decision, he can persuade him to change his mind......"

Hearing this, Wei Tianzi looked at Zhao Hongrun with a smile, and suddenly said with a smile: "For the sake of your meritorious rescue a few days ago, I will be as you wish." I ordered you to go out for this time. ”

"What?"

Zhao Hongrun was taken aback when he heard this, you must know that what he wants is the "prison army", not the "boss".

Think about it, if he is the commander, what is the position of General Sima An? Adjutant general?

Oh, my God. It's going to be a mess!

I think that at the beginning, even the kind general Bailiba had some friction with Zhao Hongrun because of the "right to speak in the army", but fortunately, in the end, Bailiba took the initiative to retreat, which did not lead to a split in the command of the Wei army, and Sima An, no matter how you look at it, does not look like a master who will take the initiative to retreat, if Wei Tianzi really appoints his son as the commander-in-chief, I believe that Sima Anxin will be extremely dissatisfied.

When the time comes, Sima An will obey Zhao Hongrun's dispatch.

"What the hell is the Emperor thinking?"

Zhao Hongrun frowned and looked at his father, and was about to speak, but saw his father raise his hand to stop him from speaking.

"I have made up my mind, you are the 'boss', and Sima An is your 'deputy general'."

"......" Zhao Hongrun frowned deeply when he heard this.

I saw him look at his father suspiciously, and said strangely: "Father, you won't deliberately stumble on your son because he only gave two rabbits as gifts, right?" ”

『……』

Seeing his son's suspicious eyes, Wei Tianzi only felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart, and snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, stinky boy, you dare to mention this matter." …… Obviously, you and your sixth uncle hunted a bear, but you gave it to the little girl named Una in the Qingyang tribe, and it was only for me two rabbits, and she said that "my father can just give two rabbits to you......"

"Damn! It must have been the sixth uncle who told my father what I said as a joke."

Zhao Hongrun looked stunned.

But at this moment, Wei Tianzi put away his indignation at being treated poorly by his son as a father, and suddenly said in a serious and sincere tone: "Although I am indeed angry with you, an unfilial son, I will not deliberately embarrass you because of this. …… Hongrun, go to Sima An, just take it as the homework I assigned to you. ”

"Homework? Why should I accept such inexplicable homework?'

Zhao Hongrun looked at Wei Tianzi with a disgusted expression.

Although he also knew that his father was honing him, to be honest, he was disgusted by this forced way of education.

Probably guessing the disgust in Zhao Hongrun's heart, Wei Tianzi sneered twice and said lightly: "Don't you want to?" Then you can stay in Daliang honestly! …… But in this way, there is no guarantee that Sima An's guy will do anything to the people of Sanchuan, and you know, that guy is quite repulsive to foreigners...... If it's unfortunate, the little girl Una, who has feelings for you, may also die at the hands of the Dangshan Army, which is a pity......"

Wei Tianzi put on a look of regret and emotion.

『…… Damn!'

Zhao Hong was furious.

Apparently, he had once again been caught by his father.

But anger is anger, and Zhao Hongrun knows one thing in his heart, that is, his father doesn't seem to be joking.

Does the so-called "the king have no jokes" just mean that "those who are kings will not (not) speak falsely"?

No, the essence of the phrase is, 'As a monarch, sometimes it only takes one inducement to change one's mind and turn the joke into truth.'"

For example, at the moment, Wei Tianzi's sentence of "obediently stay in Daliang" may be just a joke, but as long as Zhao Hongrun personally rejects the homework imposed by his father, then I am afraid that this joke will immediately become a golden mouth.

When the time comes, it will be Zhao Hongrun who will regret it.

"Shhhhhh Ruthless rulers, tyrants......

Zhao Hongrun scolded a few words in his heart, but he had to obediently comply, and said coldly: "Okay, the coach will be the boss." ”

"Good!" Wei Tianzi smiled with satisfaction, not at all showing that it was a king who had just threatened his own son: "By the way, this time, I won't give you the same golden order as last time, otherwise it won't have the effect of testing you." ”

"Tsk!"

Zhao Hongrun pursed his lips unhappily.

"One more thing. …… When you are waiting for the expedition, I will send an imperial historian to serve as the 'supervisor', who will not participate in your decision-making with Sima An, but will only observe and record your words and deeds with Sima An, as the basis for my evaluation of your work. In addition, the war report will also be drafted by this person. …… By the way, don't try to entrap or bribe the imperial history, otherwise the evaluation will be lowered, but don't blame me for not reminding you. ”

"In other words, cheating doesn't work?"

Zhao Hongrun, who was blocked by his father and the last way to retreat, only felt a tightness in his chest.

After thinking about it, he asked sullenly, "What about ...... What's in it for you? ”

"Benefits?" Wei Tianzi was stunned, and it seemed that he hadn't thought about this yet.

"The good thing is ......" I saw him think for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything, as if he hadn't thought about it yet.

"The Wayward ...... of the King"

Zhao Hongrun snorted coldly in his heart, where could he not see it, this so-called 'homework' was obviously proposed by this father on a temporary basis, but he couldn't refuse yet.

This is in line with the words of his sixth uncle Zhao Yuanyan, "Only the king has the qualifications to be willful, and the rest have to cater to it."

Probably noticing his son's disdainful gaze, Wei Tianzi was also a little embarrassed, and suddenly, his heart moved slightly, and he said with a chuckle: "How about taking Shangshui County as a benefit?" ”

"Shang Shui?"

"Ah, as long as you complete the work I have given you, and satisfy me, I will grant you Shangshui County as a fiefdom, a privilege that has not been seen in recent decades."

"Shhhhhh What am I going to do with the fiefdom? …… Wait! Shang Shui?'

Zhao Hongrun looked at Wei Tianzi incredulously.

At this time, Wei Tianzi said with a smile: "There are some things, hidden and tucked, it is better to be justified......"

『……』

A little surprise flashed in Zhao Hongrun's heart, and he vaguely felt that his development plan for the next few years seemed to have been predicted by this father.

Indeed, in the blueprint in Zhao Hongrun's mind, Shangshui is a city of great strategic significance, and its geographical location and the proportion of the current population in the city are very much in line with the sword test stone for a certain grand goal hidden in Zhao Hongrun's heart, although this grand goal has not yet been felt even by Zhao Hongrun himself.

It's just that intuition tells Zhao Hongrun: business water is very important.

"Deal!" (To be continued.) )
