Chapter 848: Light and Dark
The welcome banquet of the Zichen Hall that day, due to the successive changes during the period, made everyone who participated in the banquet feel a little uneasy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Wei Tianzi did not attack on the spot, anyone could see that His Majesty was in a bad mood, so that the feast ended hastily in the end.
I have to say that at today's feast, there were several changes that were worth digesting for a while.
Especially the political alliance of the Wei family, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and the fifth prince Qingwang Hongxin, who has almost been placed on the table.
After the feast was dispersed, King Yong Hongyu and King Xiang Hongjing left the palace with black faces.
Thinking about it, you must know that the original Qingwang Zhao Hongxin's advantage in the battle for the heir is not big, it can almost be said to be the existence of the bottom, but in the blink of an eye, Qingwang Hongxin's power is close to the prince of the East Palace, Hongli, and even surpassed.
Today is really ...... "surprise".
Shaking his head with a smile, Zhao Hongrun led Princess Yulong, Mi Jiang, Wei Jiao and other sect guards to the entrance of the Zichen Palace.
He was surprised to see that Zhao Yuanling, the uncle of the six kings, was standing there wrinkled, as if waiting for someone.
Wait for me? Wrong......
With a move in his heart, Zhao Hongrun stopped, turned his head, and just saw Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Zhao Hongxin, the king of Qing, walking out of the hall.
"Third brother."
Under the peeking glance of the hundreds of officials in the nearby court, Zhao Yuanling, the uncle of the six kings, asked expressionlessly: "What do you want to do if you form a party for personal gain?" ”
"Huh." Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, snorted lightly and said lightly: "Sixth brother, what do you mean by this?" …… Wei fought for my Great Wei and helped his brother, what is the difference? ”
Zhao Yuanli narrowed his eyes, lowered his voice and said: "To put it soundingly, in fact, I don't want to firmly grasp the military power of the Western Expeditionary Army......
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun also frowned in the distance.
It is true that anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, does not want to hand over his military power, but it is clear that this kind of thing is not easy to say in public, this is the rule.
Sure enough, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, frowned, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Sixth brother, when you talk and do things, you must abide by the rules, and don't talk about it." ”
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun took a few steps, pulled Zhao Yuanyan's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Sixth uncle, you are drunk, let's go." ”
Zhao Yuanli glanced at Zhao Hongrun, then stared at Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The reason why you can return to Daliang is that Your Majesty thinks about brotherhood, do you really think that your Zhao Yuanzuo's talent is unmatched?" ”
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, smiled and said lightly.
A few traces of anger flashed on Zhao Yuanling's face, but it was difficult to attack in front of the public, so he lowered his voice and said, "I'll keep an eye on you, you can do it yourself!" ”
With that, he brushed his sleeves away.
Sixth Uncle......
Zhao Hongrun was a little helpless, and arched his hand at Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, King Qingwang Hongxin, and the hundred officials of the court who were peeking nearby, and was about to step away to catch up with Zhao Yuanyan, but was stopped by Zhao Hongxin, the king of Qing.
"Hongrun, I robbed you of the position of overseer, you won't blame me, right?" Zhao Hongxin said with a chuckle.
At this time, the hundred officials of the court who were just watching the confrontation between Zhao Yuanlian, the king of Yi, and Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, planned to leave, but suddenly stopped, after all, in their opinion, the confrontation between Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and Zhao Hongxin, the king of Qing, was also a good show no less than the former.
You must know that in the banquet, anyone can see that Wei Tianzi originally hoped that Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, would serve as the supervisor of the army, and as for the purpose, it would be a matter of opinion to the benevolent and wise.
It can be considered that Wei Tianzi hopes that His Royal Highness King Su will restrain the Wei family and the King of Southern Liang, or it can be considered that Wei Tianzi wants Zhao Hongrun to suppress the latter two.
After all, Zhao Hongrun, as the commander of the Wei army in the Four Kingdoms Expedition to Chu, was enough to serve as the supervisor of the army.
Unexpectedly, halfway through, he killed a Qing Wang Hongxin, and took away the position of the superintendent, so those court officials were also secretly paying attention to Zhao Hongrun's reaction.
However, Zhao Hongrun said flatly: "Brother Wuwang is serious, the younger brother is trying to rest, Brother Wuwang is willing to go to Northern Xinjiang for the younger brother, and it is too late for the younger brother to be grateful." …… Farewell, the third uncle, and the five royal brothers. ”
With that, he arched his hand towards Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Hongxin, the king of Qing, and turned to leave.
Don't look at these two, one is his third uncle, and the other is his fifth brother, but in fact, the friendship with each other is very shallow, and it is not an exaggeration to call them nodding friends.
Having said that, does Zhao Hongrun really don't care about the fact that Qingwang Hongxin robbed him of his position as a military supervisor?
In fact, he really didn't care.
After all, he had just finished the Battle of the Four Kingdoms and Chu a while ago, and had only returned to Daliang of Wei for two or three months, so as long as there were no great changes in northern Xinjiang, of course he wanted to rest.
Anyway, he is not like his elder brothers, who are staring at the position of the king of Wei, and needs to rely on military merits to win the position of king.
As for the Wei army and the army of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, going to the north together, Zhao Hongrun will not be worried, after all, Zhao Yuanzuo, Wei Ji, and Jiang Cong, these three are all good commanders, and they will not be inferior to him at all, in this case, what is there to worry about?
The only thing he cared about was the political alliance of the Wei family, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Hongxin, the king of Qing.
Of course, it's not because of the throne, after all, Zhao Hongrun is not uncommon in the position of the Vertical Arch Palace, he just feels puzzled, Longxi Wei Clan, Southern Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo and Qingwang Hongxin, these three are unrelated forces, but for some reason, it seems that there is an indescribable force in the underworld, guiding the three to finally come together and twist into one.
Also, why did Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, come forward at the risk of offending Wei Tianzi this time?
Just to protect yourself? Unwilling to hand over the power of the army?
But the question is, it is said that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was exiled for a full seventeen years, which resolved Wei Tianzi's hostility and jealousy towards him, and now he has become Wei Tianzi's political enemy again for the sake of military power, is it really worth it?
Or did Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, have greater ambitions?
Can't figure it out......
Zhao Hongrun shook his head and chased after Zhao Yuanyan, the sixth uncle.
Behind him, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, looked at the backs of Zhao Yuanyan and Zhao Hongrun's uncle and nephew, and a few different colors flashed in his eyes, and then, he smiled and walked down the stairs.
At the same time, Wei Tianzi had returned to the Vertical Arch Palace.
As Zhao Hongrun guessed, Wei Tianzi did not have a seizure in the Zichen Palace, which does not mean that he has no anger in his heart, but in front of the Wei clan and in front of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he is not good at attacking.
No, after Wei Tianzi returned to the Vertical Arch Palace, he threw the objects on the dragon case to the ground in a fit of rage, even if the priceless jasper paperweight fell to the ground and broke in half, it did not make the Wei monarch less angry.
In all fairness, the various changes in the Zichen Hall were actually not worthy of Wei Tianzi's anger.
What about the Wei clan joining forces with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang? Even if you add the fifth son Qingwang Hongxin and the uncle behind this son, what about the power of the family? Is it worthy of him? He is the king of Wei!
The reason that really made Wei Tianzi so angry was because he felt that the whole thing was out of his control, which was almost unprecedented.
I remember that in the past, relatives, clans, clans, and imperial courts, many forces competed for power and profit, but they were not properly cleaned up by him Zhao Yuanxi.
The eighth son, Zhao Hongrun, has a perverse, bad, and tricky personality, right? But once he, Zhao Yuanxi, gets serious, he can still make that kid not take advantage of the so-called father-son war.
But today, in the Zichen Palace, it was completely out of his Zhao Yuanxi's control, which made this Wei Tianzi feel a great threat.
Zhao Yuanzuo...... Zhao Yuanzuo......
Wei Tianzi paced back and forth in the inner hall of the Vertical Arch Hall with a gloomy face.
After half a sound, he took a deep breath before gradually calming down his anger.
He began to think about the whole thing calmly.
He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Because according to his understanding of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, although this third prince brother has both civil and military skills, he should not have such means and scheming.
Was it Zhao Yuanzuo who studied the art of power and conspiracy during those seventeen years of exile? Or is it ......
…… Someone behind him?
Wei Tianzi sat back on the dragon chair, his right hand casually tapping on the armrest, thoughtful.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a little eunuch walking in and whispering a few words in the ear of the big eunuch Tong Xian.
"What's the matter?" Wei Tianzi asked.
The eldest eunuch Tong Xian dismissed the little eunuch, and then leaned over to Wei Tianzi and said, "After the feast was dispersed, it seems that there was a conflict between King Yi and King Nanliang in the Zichen Palace...... and he told Wei Tianzi what the little eunuch told about the changes outside the Zichen Palace at that time.
"Oh?" Wei Tianzi was slightly stunned, and after pondering for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Tong Xian, you quickly send someone to invite the sixth child to the Vertical Arch Palace." ”
Tong Xian was stunned, nodded and arranged.
About half an hour later, after Tong Xian arranged for the little eunuch to clean up the ground, King Yi Zhao Yuanli came to the Vertical Arch Palace: "Your Majesty, you summon your younger brother?" ”
Wei Tianzi nodded, and instructed Tong Xian to set up a seat for Zhao Yuanli, and then asked Zhengse: "Yuanling, you do one thing for me." ”
Zhao Yuanling's face showed a little doubt, and then, as if he had thought of something, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty wants your brother to go to Northern Xinjiang, right?" Your Majesty, rest assured, the courtiers have this intention! ”
Hearing this, Wei Tianzi's expression on his face eased, nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Liu's mind understands, but you don't have to go to Northern Xinjiang, your deeds are too obvious." ”
"What does the royal brother mean?" Zhao Yuanli asked suspiciously.
I saw Wei Tianzi squinting his eyes and said in a low voice: "Today, the Wei clan in Longxi has submitted a genealogy to my Zhao clan's clan, but Wei Gang, who looks at the Wei clan of the water in that day, will never be willing to let the Wei clan be at the mercy of my Zhao clan's clan." Their next step is to find ways to install clansmen in the sect mansion to fight for the Wei clan's voice...... In this matter, it is not good for me to come forward in person, you go to the sect to control the situation for me, and you can't let the Wei family occupy too many positions. In addition, I will cooperate with you to take charge of the Sect Wei Yulin Army......"
"This?" Zhao Yuanyan raised his head in astonishment when he heard this, and asked puzzledly: "Isn't there a second brother in the Zongfu ......?"
Hearing this, Wei Tianzi said lightly: "If I let you go, you will go." ”
Zhao Yuanli opened his mouth and finally arched his hand.
