Chapter 7: The Father-Son War

Who would have thought that because of the "prince out of the cabinet", Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Great Wei, and Zhao Hongrun, the eighth prince, broke up unhappily.

In the end, Zhao Yuanxi returned to the Vertical Arch Hall angrily.

"How can this be true? As a son of man, it is unreasonable to dare to disobey his biological father! ”

I saw that in the vertical arch hall, the emperor of Great Wei was carrying his hands behind his back, his face full of anger.

"Your Majesty, take care of your dragon's body." The great eunuch Tong Xian persuaded the Son of Heaven while secretly glancing at the three Zhongshu ministers.

The three ministers of the Chinese book looked at each other, and said in their hearts that this is the housework of the heavenly family, how can they interfere without authorization?

But if you think about it carefully, let the Son of Heaven be angry and fear hurting the liver and spleen, so Zhongshu Ling He Xiangxu had to speak carefully.

"Your Majesty does not allow His Royal Highness to leave the cabinet, does he not want His Highness to be involved in the affairs of the crown prince?"

According to the ancestral system of the Great Wei Dynasty, after the prince reaches the age of fifteen, he is not qualified to compete for the crown prince before he leaves the cabinet and opens the palace, and before he is crowned the king, this is also the reason why Zhao Yuanxi, the son of the Great Wei Dynasty, did not include the eighth son Zhao Hongrun in the list of crown princes.

Of course, He Xiangxu's original intention was not to think that the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun was really not qualified to participate in the competition for the crown prince, he just said this because he opened the topic, because if this topic could not be opened, they would have no position to persuade the Son of Heaven to calm his anger.

Sure enough, Zhao Yuanxi, the emperor of Great Wei, was tricked, glanced at He Xiangxu and sneered: "Compete for the crown prince? If only that kid really had the heart to compete for the crown prince! …… He thought I didn't know? That little cub is obviously bored in the palace and wants to move outside the palace to live! ”

"The boss is really powerful......

Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi glanced at He Xiangxu in admiration.

He Xiangxu smiled slightly, stroked his gray beard and pretended to be puzzled: "Why doesn't Your Majesty allow His Royal Highness to move out of the palace?" ”

"Didn't you knowingly ask?"

The Great Wei Tianzi glanced at He Xiangxu with some displeasure.

In fact, the fundamental reason for this matter is very simple, it is nothing more than that the emperor of Great Wei gradually fell in love with Zhao Hongrun, a prince who has never been taken seriously, and in view of the estranged relationship between father and son in the past, he wanted to be closer to him in the future.

According to common sense, this is the favor of the Son of Heaven, a great honor, normally any prince is willing to be close to his father, after all, as long as they win the favor of the Son of Heaven of Great Wei, they have a greater chance of becoming the prince.

But only the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun had strange ideas, he had no intention of being a prince at all, he only wanted to play, and naturally he didn't care about his father's favor.

This made it a little difficult for the Great Wei Tianzi to accept. It has always been only the princes who have deliberately wanted to get close to the Son of Heaven, how can it be the other way around?

But when he calmed down and thought about it, Zhao Yuanxi sighed again, and secretly blamed himself for not boasting and not promising Zhao Hongrun's promise.

Now it's okay, Zhao Hongrun grandly shouted out the rebellious words of "Father's words are untrustworthy", as the son of Great Wei, Zhao Yuanxi couldn't refute it, so he could only take advantage of his anger and leave with a calm face.

"Does this son really disdain to be close to me?"

Zhao Yuanxi asked the three ministers of Zhongshu incredulously.

"That's a good thing." He Xiangxu smiled and persuaded: "This shows that His Royal Highness is open-minded, and has neither extravagant nor empty thoughts. ”

"That's what I said...... Zhao Yuanxi frowned and asked hesitantly: "What do the three Aiqing mean, should I allow him?" ”

"No!"

"Yes!"

The three ministers of Zhongshu said in unison, but their opinions were not unanimous.

Zhongshu Ling He Xiangxu and Zhongshu Zuo Cheng Lin Yuyang thought that an exception should not be made to let a nearly fourteen-year-old prince out of the cabinet, while Zhongshu Right Cheng Yu Ziqi stood on the side of the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun.

"He Aiqing, you tell me your opinion first."

"Yes." He Xiangxu bowed and said formally: "My Great Wei ancestral system stipulates that His Royal Highness the prince can only leave the cabinet when he is fifteen years old and establish a palace to be crowned king. ”

Yu Ziqi frowned and was about to refute, but when he saw He Xiangxu's words, he suddenly changed his words, and said with a relaxed smile: "This is just to say that it is heard by outsiders, like the ghost talents of His Royal Highness Eighth who are born to know, it is an exceptional case, and it is not a big problem to relax a little, after all, during the period of the first emperors of the past dynasties, from time to time there were princes who were under the age of fifteen and went out of the cabinet to be crowned kings." …… The old minister was just worried about whether His Royal Highness, a royal seedling that would definitely grow into a towering tree in the future, would grow crooked because of His Majesty's momentary indulgence. Speaking of this, he looked up at Zhao Yuanxi and said in an extremely serious tone: "If this seedling grows crooked, I'm afraid Your Majesty will not have the face to see the previous emperors!" ”

Everyone in the hall was silent when they heard this, because what He Xiangxu said was exactly what Zhao Yuanxi was most worried about at the moment.

The eighth prince, Zhao Hongrun, has always been accused of being stubborn and fun, not thinking about studying, but this is still in the palace, this son can't come up with any tricks, but if this kid really moves out of the palace, it will really be 'the emperor is far away', I don't know where he will run, Zhao Yuanxi wants to see him in the future, I'm afraid it's also a problem.

"That's what the minister meant." Lin Yuyang, the left secretary of the Chinese book, bowed his hand and said: "His Royal Highness is far-sighted, and his thoughts and worries are far from being comparable to us. Weichen dared to ask His Majesty to teach strictly, so that His Royal Highness the Eighth can become the pillar of my Great Wei, if so, it is really the Great Wei Hongfu! …… On the contrary, it would be a pity to indulge! ”

When Zhao Yuanxi was thinking about it, Yu Ziqi, the right man of the Chinese book, did not open his mouth to refute the words of the two colleagues. Although he supported the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun in this matter, he believed that since the Son of Heaven had made a promise, it should be fulfilled. But from the perspective of the Great Wei Sheji, Yu Ziqi also believes that the concerns of the Son of Heaven and his two colleagues are by no means groundless.

Is it the promise of a Son of Heaven that is important, or is it important to cultivate His Royal Highness the Devilish Prince into a Great Wei Dingshi? It's not that difficult to choose.

No, Yu Ziqi hesitated and gave up supporting Zhao Hongrun. After all, he was impressed by the various ideas put forward by Zhao Hongrun, and he didn't want this eloquent and strategic prince to destroy everyone because of his childhood playfulness and lose his current natural aura.

But what should be said, Yu Ziqi still has to say.

"His Royal Highness the Eighth will not give up!"

"......" Dawei Tianzi and He Xiangxu and Lin Yuyang turned their heads and glanced at Yu Ziqi when they heard this.

Indeed, Zhao Hongrun, a very high-minded, thoughtful eighth prince who dares to say such a rebellious remark as "his father's words are not believed", would really give up the promise he should have because of his father Zhao Yuanxi's anger?

"Humph! I don't believe that kid can turn the sky upside down! ”

The Great Wei Tianzi snorted coldly, looked back at the great eunuch Tong Xian and said: "The oracle of the Chuan Dynasty has asked the Zongfu to reduce the monthly payment of the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun by three ...... Well, cut it by 20%, as a warning! ”

"Yes!"

"Also, take off his plaque of 'Xiaoyao Pavilion' for me, and restore the old name of 'Wenzhao Pavilion'!"

"......" Tong Xian opened his mouth and said cautiously: "If His Royal Highness the Eighth is to stop ......"

"Send the Praetorian Army!"

"Yes......"

Seeing the great eunuch Tong Xian hurriedly walking out of the vertical arch hall, the three ministers of Zhongshu couldn't help but shrink their necks, and they had a strange premonition.

The war between His Majesty and the Eighth Prince is afraid that this has begun.

Only an hour later, the forbidden army in the palace followed the imperial order of Zhao Yuanxi, the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, and took off the plaque of "Xiaoyao Pavilion" on the bedroom of Zhao Hongrun, the eighth prince, and replaced it with the original "Wenzhao Pavilion" plaque.

From beginning to end, the eighth prince, Zhao Hongrun, stood under the corridor and watched coldly.

Noticing the gloomy expression of his master, Zong Wei Mu Qing, a confidant beside the Eighth Emperor Zhao Hongrun, hurriedly whispered: "Your Highness can't do anything meaningful, that's a forbidden army ......."

With that, he turned his head to glance at the dark crowd in the open space of the square below the steps.

"Damn, a whole song of the forbidden army...... Do you want that?'

Ten Zong Wei surrounded their Highness in fear, for fear that this Highness, who had always been bold, would really fight with these forbidden troops.

Although it is not said that they have not fought with the forbidden army in the past, the problem is that there are too many forbidden troops this time, a whole song, that is, five hundred forbidden troops.

And there are only ten of them, how can they beat others?

The ten Zongwei looked at each other, secretly wondering in their hearts whether this was from the disadvantage of the Great Wei Emperor.

"Pass on Your Majesty's dictation, the eighth prince Hongrun, violated the ancestral system, tampered with the name of the dormitory without permission, and saw no ancestors, and if he committed the first offense, he would be fined two percent of the month."

A forbidden army general hugged his fist towards Hongrun.

Zhao Hongrun glanced up at the plaque of the 'Wenzhao Pavilion', and then turned his gaze to the entire five hundred forbidden soldiers in the open space under the steps.

"Eighth Highness, the last general will leave first."

After replacing the plaque, the forbidden army general hurriedly withdrew and took his leave. Who doesn't know that the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun is a well-known bad deed in the palace, although this time it is the meaning of the emperor of Great Wei, but if he is hated by this highness, there will be good fruits to eat in the future?

Watching the five hundred forbidden troops retreat quickly, Zhao Hongrun raised his head and glanced at the plaque of "Wenzhao Pavilion" again, and walked into the hall without saying a word.

Ten Zongwei, you look at me, I look at you, drooping his head and following His Royal Highness into the hall.

The main hall of Wenzhao Pavilion is a hall used for entertaining guests, imitating the ritual of kneeling and sitting in ancient times, so there is only a table for entertaining guests, and there are no tables and chairs.

Zhao Hongrun sat in the master's seat without saying a word, and his eyes swept over the ten Zongwei who knelt down in front of him one by one.

"Mu Qing, Shen Yu, Wei Jiao, Chu Heng, Gao Kuo, Chong Zhao, Lu Mu, Zhu Gui, He Miao, Zhou Pu......"

Zhao Hongrun read the names of the ten Zongwei one by one.

These ten people were not ordinary guards, they were the personal guards sent by the sect to Zhao Hongrun's side.

These people were all from a pure Wei military household, only because they were orphaned and poor since they were children, they were adopted by the Zongfu, taught martial arts from an early age, and were sent to the princes as personal guards when they grew up.

Although it is the identity of a guard, it can actually be regarded as a retainer of the princes, a henchman, and from now on, he will be both prosperous and lose with the prince he serves, and there will never be betrayal. And if the serving prince ascends the throne as emperor one day, then this group of people will also rise and become a general with heavy troops.

This is the ancestral system of the Great Wei.

"I'll wait!"

The ten sect guards bowed to the ground with their armor and looked at their highness intently.

I saw Zhao Hongrun spit out a sentence expressionlessly.

“…… It's going to war! ”
