Conquer the land and serve the far, Wuding Quartet, called Huan. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info - Wei Tianzi Zhao Yuanxi

Zhao Hongxuan, the ninth prince, is the youngest son of Wei Tianzi and the younger brother of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

Once upon a time, Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, did have other thoughts, so he would recommend this youngest half-brother to be the deputy marshal of the Northern First Army, because he offended Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, and Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, if Zhao Hongxuan took the position of deputy marshal of the Northern First Army, it could greatly alleviate the contradiction between the East Palace and the two brothers.

Therefore, it can be said that Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, valued Zhao Hongxuan's identity rather than his talent.

Later, after coming to northern Xinjiang, the crown prince Zhao Hongli gradually understood a truth: it turned out that being familiar with the art of war does not mean that he can win the war.

To tell the truth, he was very disgusted with his eighth brother Su Wang Zhao Hongrun at first, after all, the latter did not stop in the palace when he was young, and he was not annoyed by their father's imperial weapon, nor did he go to the palace to attend classes, and only knew how to play all day long.

And as Zhao Hongrun gradually grew up, Zhao Hongli's prejudice against this eighth brother still did not change. Because Zhao Hongrun at that time had gradually been valued by their father, what did Zhao Hongrun, who could get the weight, do?

King Su has a bad personality, which is a common acquaintance in the palace and the imperial court, and many people feel that His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince is difficult to get along.

What's more, this son actually dared to argue face-to-face with their father, the emperor, and the current Wei Tianzi.

It is precisely because of this prejudice that Zhao Hongli, the crown prince of the East Palace, who is the eldest son of the eldest son, did not hesitate to sneer at Yongwang Hongyu in the name of teaching his eighth brother Zhao Hongrun when he first saw his most disgusted younger brother Zhao Hongyu walking with Zhao Hongrun.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he was retaliated against by the eighth brother - the latter, with his incredible talent for erudition and strong memory, sabotaged the "words" of Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, on Duanyang Day.

At that time, Zhao Hongli couldn't be angry, and said in his heart that I was your eldest brother, and he just said two words to you, as a younger brother, you actually retaliated against me like this? Do you still take me, the prince of the East Palace, and me, the eldest brother, in your eyes?

As a result, the prince and King Su had a bad relationship, and the government and the opposition knew it.

But in fact, the reason for the crown prince Zhao Hongli and the king of Su Zhao Hongrun is not the so-called suppression of his brothers in order to compete for the throne, but that he is not used to Zhao Hongrun's disrespectful presumptuousness, after all, the only people who could tolerate Zhao Hongrun at that time were Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, and Zhao Yuanyan, the uncle of the six princes, in addition, even Zhao Yuanyan, the sect of the sect at that time, was not used to it.

Later, the crown prince Zhao Hongli gradually realized that he may have made a mistake, but at that time, the matter was irreparable, because the fledgling Su King Zhao Hongrun also had a deep prejudice against him.

Although Zhao Hongrun has never expressed his support for any royal brother, if the East Palace and King Yong post at the same time to invite the former to the banquet, I believe that Zhao Hongrun will not hesitate to choose King Yong.

Even at that time, Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, asked Luo Ying to compose a song "Su Wang Po Chu Xuancheng Jun Xiong Tuo Soldier Formation", it could not change Zhao Hongrun's hostility towards him.

Since then, the East Palace and King Su have been like strangers, even if they bump into each other on the road, they will not nod and say hello, and even, Zhao Hongrun, who has always been domineering, will forcibly pass through the line of the East Palace, as long as the East Palace does not give way to him.

The eldest son, the prince of the East Palace, made way for his younger brother, and this kind of thing had never happened in the Wei Dynasty.

But in this generation, Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, was forced to make way for this younger brother many times, which is also known to everyone in the court.

Zhao Hongli, the crown prince of the East Palace, did not have the same scheming as their father, Emperor Wei Tianzi, who could make King Su Zhao Hongrun obediently obey, nor did he have the same mind as their father, Emperor Wei Tianzi, who could tolerate Zhao Hongrun's rude provocations many times.

Perhaps it was for this reason, or because of the eldest brother's self-esteem, that the crown prince Zhao Hongli had not personally bowed to the younger brother so far, so that the relationship between the two had always been poor, even if Luo Ying helped Yuanchang from it.

I have to say, don't think that only Zhao Hongrun is prejudiced against the crown prince Zhao Hongli, in fact, the prince Zhao Hongli also has a lot of dissatisfaction with Zhao Hongrun, and the most fundamental reason is that Zhao Hongrun is disrespectful to him.

As Zhao Hongrun led the army again and again, and returned victoriously, the crown prince Zhao Hongli felt more and more uncomfortable, because this younger brother was so good that even if Zhao Hongrun was disrespectful to him now, Wei Tianzi and the court gradually became accustomed to it, and even said a few good words for the latter.

Therefore, when he was in northern Xinjiang, the crown prince Zhao Hongli also wanted to make some achievements, he didn't know that some people in the government and the opposition jokingly called him "virtue is greater than talent", which is a great ridicule for him who is not magnanimous.

However, the Northern First Army was too selfish, and even those nobles who depended on him were unwilling to make too much sacrifice.

Are you kidding!

The battlefield is meant to be dead, if everyone is holding their own private soldiers and is unwilling to take them out, what else will this battle be fought?!

At that time, he held the same point of view, that is, the deputy marshal who he didn't take seriously at first, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan.

Zhao Hongxuan is different from his elder brother Zhao Hongrun, who was raised by his mother, and has always respected the prince Zhao Hongli, at least he has never been rude in words and deeds, and in addition, at the age of Zhao Hongxuan, who has just come out of the cabinet, is unlikely to become an opponent for the heir, so there can be no contradiction between the prince Zhao Hongli and Zhao Hongxuan.

During that time in northern Xinjiang, the crown prince Zhao Hongli gradually understood Zhao Hongxuan's character, which was almost diametrically opposed to his elder brother Zhao Hongrun, who was an introverted, humble, and respectful prince.

At that time, the Northern First Army was very selfish, but Zhao Hongxuan's mind was very frank and pure, he just wanted to make some achievements.

Therefore, at that time, the crown prince Zhao Hongli ignored the opposition of the Wang family and handed over some of the power of the general to Zhao Hongxuan, and regarded the latter as his deputy in a real sense.

However, it is only a matter of military convenience, as for commanding the war, it is not that the crown prince Zhao Hongli is unwilling to give power to Zhao Hongxuan, but because he himself does not have much right to speak.

As Zhao Hongrun said at the beginning, the Northern First Army was a rabble. Why? Because of internal discord and factions, all of them are extremely selfish.

Can such an army win battles?

And it turns out that Zhao Hongrun's evaluation is not wrong at all, even the crown prince Zhao Hongli was constrained during the attack on Quwo, because no one was willing to take the initiative to sacrifice.

Although it is said that the people of the Yongwang Party can be thrown out, this is at most just a knife to kill, and it cannot help the crown prince Zhao Hongli to defeat Quwo.

Subsequently, the general Jiang Cong led the "Northern Third Army" to conquer, and the "Northern First Army" was watching from the sidelines, although Jiang Cong didn't say anything, but the crown prince Zhao Hongli and Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan both felt ashamed.

Then, something even more humiliating happened, the nobles and families behind the "Northern First Army" actually proposed to act together with General Jiang Contempt's "Northern Third Army".

What kind of action is that?

The Northern Third Army defeated the South Korean army and pursued it while it was victorious, and the Northern First Army followed behind to pick up the bargain, which is called coordinated operation?

It may be that for the sake of the very deep background of the Northern First Army, General Jiang Yan didn't say much, but the notoriety of the Northern First Army gradually spread in Northern Xinjiang, especially the former Wei soldiers of the Northern Third Army, they felt that it was also the army of Wei, how fierce the Shangshui Army and the Yanling Army were, but this Northern First Army was good, and it was cheap behind the buttocks, why was the gap between them so big?

Prince Zhao Hongli knows all these things, but he has no choice, because behind the Northern First Army, there is not only his maternal uncle Wang family, but also many Donggong Party nobles who are attached to him, counting on these nobles to selflessly contribute to the country? Ha! If these people were really selfless, they would not be branded as the East Palace Party!

It is undeniable that the various suggestions made by Zhao Hongxuan when he was in Northern Xinjiang were very accurate, but the crown prince Zhao Hongli could only refuse out of some scruples - if he forcibly seized the rights of the Northern First Army, would the domestic nobles still support him? If he loses the support of these people, then what is left of him, the prince of the East Palace?

Finally, the Northern Xinjiang Campaign ended temporarily under the premise that South Korea temporarily withdrew its troops.

As Zhao Hongxuan said, in this battle, the Northern First Army was extremely defeated, not only did it not establish any meritorious achievements, but also spread its reputation because it seized a lot of Jiang Cong's lost territory.

The crown prince Zhao Hongli was very disappointed, and even lost his mind about the Northern First Army.

But what he didn't expect was that his deputy marshal, his half-brother Zhao Hongxuan, who had tried to find a way to turn the situation around when he was in northern Xinjiang, was still giving him advice.

No, it can't be said to be a suggestion for him, after all, Zhao Hongxuan has made it clear that he just hopes that he will lead the army first and not appear to be a failure.

But even so, the crown prince Zhao Hongli was still inexplicably moved, because Zhao Hongxuan's behavior was actually helping him, and more importantly, for this reason, this younger brother also fell out with his elder brother Zhao Hongrun, who was raised by his mother.

This made Zhao Hongli, the crown prince who only wanted to use Zhao Hongxuan at first, feel inexplicably guilty.

"Hongxuan, you have to think clearly......" Prince Zhao Hongli said very seriously: "I won't tell you, I have been completely disappointed in the Northern First Army, and this palace has not yet been able to surrender this army, what can you do if you stay in the army?" It's better to go to the eighth ......."

Zhao Hongxuan pursed his mouth when he heard this, and said, "Go to my brother's side?" Merchant Sailors? Yan Lingjun? I went over there, and even if those generals obeyed me, it was only for my brother's sake, and I didn't want to do that. …… Besides, His Royal Highness the Prince, did you just give up? You told me that you want to go on an expedition to Korea after defeating the South Korean army, and that's what the name "Northern Xinjiang Expeditionary Force" is all about, isn't it?! ”

"......" The crown prince Zhao Hongli was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Zhao Hongxuan intently, and said: "Hongxuan, if you insist on this, you will be classified into my 'East Palace Party', do you understand?" ”

Zhao Hongxuan shook his head and said, "I did this, not because you are His Royal Highness the Prince, but because you are the boss and I am the deputy marshal." …… I will not admit that I am the Donggong Party, and the object of my assistance is only Zhao Hongli, the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Expeditionary Force, not Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace. ”

The crown prince Zhao Hongli was moved, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Then ...... the eighth place?"

"I'll make it clear to my brother. …… Besides, why can he get close to King Yong, and I can't get close to His Royal Highness the Prince? In my opinion, King Yong, who only knows how to play tricks, is far inferior to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......" Zhao Hongxuan said indignantly.

Hearing this, Prince Zhao Hongli smiled from the bottom of his heart.

It's no wonder, after all, the crown prince Zhao Hongli has always hated Yongwang Hongyu, but unfortunately his popularity among the brothers is not very good, so that none of the brothers supports him, but Yongwang Hongyu's side, even if those brothers are not of the same heart, but they often join forces to deal with him, which makes the prince Zhao Hongli feel very aggrieved.

And now, the youngest brother Huanwang Zhao Hongxuan, openly praised him and blamed King Yong between him and Yongwang Hongyu, which made the crown prince Zhao Hongli, who had a better and better relationship with Zhao Hongxuan when he was in northern Xinjiang, like this youngest brother even more.

"Hahaha, go and convince your brother, if you can convince the eighth child, this palace will give you a satisfactory answer." Prince Zhao Hongli said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongxuan said firmly: "I will discuss this matter with my brother, but whether he agrees or not, I have made up my mind." ”

The crown prince Zhao Hongli was stunned, and after a little thought, Zhengse said: "Since this is the case, you are the commander of the Northern First Army." ”

"Unified ...... Handsome? Zhao Hongxuan looked at the prince of the East Palace in surprise.

"Yes, Commander." The crown prince Zhao Hongli nodded, and said with a straight face: "First, I have been disappointed in the Northern First Army; Second, King Yong is planning to target me, I don't have time to take care of the Northern First Army, you are not as greedy as those people, or have other plans, I am very relieved of you. ”

As he spoke, he patted Zhao Hongxuan's arm and said: "Hongxuan, this palace doesn't need you to help me bring down King Yong, but one day, you will go on an expedition to South Korea and let the world know that I, the 'First Army of the Northern Xinjiang Expedition', is worthy of its name and is by no means a rabble!" …… Hongu will support you. ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Hongxuan was stunned, and then nodded emphatically. (To be continued.) )
