"A few days ago in Hongrun's Suwang Mansion?"

At the end of May, when Concubine Shen Shu returned to the palace from King Su's mansion, Wei Tianzi heard the news and had dinner together in the palace after a temporary farewell of the husband and wife who had been in the palace for nearly ten days.

During this period, Wei Tianzi asked about it.

"Well, the concubine lived in the palace for a few days, and arranged some trivial things for him."

Wei Tianzi smiled faintly, not surprised.

After all, there is an inner chamberlain as his eyeliner, inside and outside the palace, there are few things that can be hidden from him, and some things are just that this son of heaven doesn't want to participate.

At this time, Concubine Shen Shu sighed faintly again, and muttered: "Run'er has been pampered since she was a child, and she has come to reach out for food to open her mouth, but now he lives alone outside the palace, and the concubine is really not at ease......"

Wei Tianzi put a chopstick dish into the bowl of the concubine, smiled and said with relief: "Which prince who came out of the cabinet didn't come over like this?" …… Now that he has left the cabinet, if he still wants his mother to work for him, how can he be qualified to leave the cabinet? ”

"That's what I said...... Concubine Shen Shu's face still looked a little hesitant: "Now in the Su Wang's Mansion, only Shen Yu and their ten sect guards, and two cooks are still borrowed from the imperial dining room, and in addition, there is no one who can be called in the mansion ......."

Wei Tianzi smiled but said nothing.

It is true that after the prince leaves the palace and opens the palace, the subordinates in the palace, whether it is the palace or the sect's mansion, will not be allocated, so that the servants, maids, nurses, etc. in the palace will all rely on the prince himself.

On this basis, the royal family and the imperial court also allowed the prince's palace to set up private armor to guard the entire palace, and the number of armor was about three tun, that is, one hundred and fifty people.

But it's like a staff member and a doorman, but there are no restrictions.

Plainly. The so-called Bifu does not simply mean that a prince moves out of the palace to live in the city, but also means that His Royal Highness the prince is qualified to establish a team loyal to him.

Just like King Yong Hongyu and King Xiang Hongjing, in addition to their ten clan guards, they also have a well-equipped guard team to guard the palace and escort travel.

It is no exaggeration to say. For the princes, it is not only a right and honor, but also a process of exercise, after all, it is not easy to maintain a huge palace and support a large group of people under him.

In addition, recruiting and absorbing talents is also a test of eyesight, and even how to control these people later, which the princes must gradually master.

So, in this matter. Wei Tianzi will not give extra help, borrowing two cooks from the imperial dining room is already considered a preferential treatment.

However, seeing that Concubine Shen Shu's face was full of worry, Wei Tianzi smiled and said with relief: "Love Concubine and rest assured, Hongrun can support a huge smelting bureau, just Su Wangfu, why worry about it?" ”

It's a pity that Concubine Shen Shu didn't take Wei Tianzi's comfort seriously. Frowning eyebrows, he complained: "Your Majesty should not underestimate the maintenance of the family, those officials and lords who are good at government affairs in the court." I don't know how to run the household like a woman! …… Even if Run'er is talented, he has never shouldered the huge palace, how do you know what to do? …… The daughters' families are the same, the concubine went to take a look, the house was messy, but Mi Jiang and the little girl called Sheep's Tongue Apricot were still good at housework. As for the others......"

Speaking of this, Concubine Shen shook her head.

Seeing this, Wei Tianzi secretly smiled bitterly, and in order to prevent Concubine Ai from chattering about this, he immediately changed the topic: "I heard that Concubine Ai has seen that Miss Su?" ”

The smile on Shen Shufei's face narrowed slightly. Cautiously asked, "Your Majesty knows?" ”

Wei Tianzi felt a little funny, and said in his heart that the people in the prison guards in the sect stared at that kid from time to time, how could they not know about this?

After thinking about it, he asked, "What does Concubine Ai think?" ”

Concubine Shen thought for a moment, and said truthfully: "Miss Su looks beautiful, and she knows how to read and understand, and knows how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”

Wei Tianzi glanced at Concubine Shen Shu in surprise, and then frowned and said, "Since Concubine Ai is satisfied, and Hongrun is quite interested in that Miss Su, why don't you take this girl from that side of the water pavilion to the palace?" That kind of fireworks Willow Lane is not a place to live for a long time after all. …… Or is there something wrong with it? ”

"Huh?" Concubine Shen looked at Wei Tianzi in surprise.

"At the beginning, that bad son boasted that he wanted to make the Smelting Bureau the standard of Dawei technology, but I have been sending people to keep an eye on it." As he spoke, Wei Tianzi's tone changed, and he frowned and said: "However, in recent days, Hongrun has frequently entered and exited a water pavilion, which really disappointed me. As far as I know, the Smelting Bureau has almost already adjusted the clay of the fire bricks, so it stands to reason that the boy should be in full swing to prepare for the melting of iron. …… Did something really happen? ”

Concubine Shen Shufei wanted to speak a few times and stopped, sighed after a long time, shook her head and said, "Run'er didn't say anything about this matter. In fact, the concubine also felt quite puzzled, he and that Miss Su were good the day before, why did they ......"

Wei Tianzi frowned slightly when he heard this, and after pondering for a long time, he suddenly muttered in an unusual tone: "In another half a year, Hongrun will be sixteen years old, right?" ”

『……』

Concubine Shen Shufei was shocked for no reason when she heard this, and cautiously agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

I saw Wei Tianzi playing with the wine bottle with great interest, and muttered: "Sometimes, I often regard Hongrun as like Hongyu, Hongjing and others...... But he forgot that he was not yet sixteen. ”

"Your Majesty......" Concubine Shen Shufei stopped talking, her expression was quite frightened.

Sure enough, Wei Tianzi put down the wine bottle, looked at Concubine Shen Shufei and said with a smile: "Aifei, now that Hongrun has left the pavilion, I think that I should find a princess Su for his Su Palace...... What does the concubine think? ”

What she had been worrying about was finally about to happen, Shen Shufei's face changed slightly, and she said with a pleading and worried face: "It's ...... Isn't it too early, Your Majesty? Run'er is not yet sixteen years old. ”

Wei Tianzi slowly put away the smile on his face, and said, "It is precisely because he is still young and easy to fall into the wrong way that I have this intention. …… My Hongrun, when I am the Great Wei Optimus Jade Pillar, how can I sit back and watch him be shackled by a concubine and delay the big thing? ”

"Your Majesty, what he said was...... That Miss Sue?'

Concubine Shen Shufei was slightly shocked in her heart, and was about to say something, but when she saw Wei Tianzi's eyes cold, she lowered her voice and said coldly: "If this girl obediently obeys my son, I can ignore her background and age; But if this woman intends to influence my son's will, then don't blame me for not being able to tolerate her! ”

When Concubine Shen heard this, she only felt her heartbeat faster, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's just a young man arguing and bickering......"

However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Wei Tianzi raising her hand.

"Aifei, you don't know how much Hongrun has invested in the Smelting Bureau, and you also don't know what expectations I have for the Smelting Bureau. …… It's nothing for young people to quarrel and quarrel, but my son doesn't have so much spare time to coax a woman, he is a person who does great things, how can he be tripped by the love of his children? ”

"How?"

Concubine Shen Shu's eyes faintly flashed with a little resentment: "Your Majesty only thinks about Hongrun contributing to my Great Wei, hasn't he ever considered that he also has a life he wants?" ”

"This is the fate of being in the royal family!" Wei Tianzi said categorically: "Is it just Hongrun? At present, my fourth son, Hongjiang, is stationed in Shanyang, the most dangerous front line of our Great Wei, and may be attacked by the Koreans at any time......"

With the fourth son of the emperor, Yan Wang Hongjiang, as a comparison, it is difficult for Shen Shufei to refute, after all, as we all know, among the princes now, the most difficult life is His Royal Highness Yan Wang, who firmly guards Shanyang County for the sake of the great Wei.

"Northern...... Is it unstable? Shen Shufei asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Wei Tianzi let out a long breath, nodded with his eyes closed, and sighed in his mouth: "According to the news sent back by Shanyang, the Koreans have sent three tests to Shanyang so far......

"His Royal Highness King Yan has fought with the Han people?"

"Not yet." Wei Tianzi said with relief: "Hongjiang is not a brave and unscrupulous person, he saw that the Koreans wanted to test the reality of Shanyang, so he did not rashly engage with the Korean cavalry. At the same time, he set up many false flags in the city, and the Koreans did not dare to act rashly for a while. ”

Concubine Shen Shufei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, after all, the war between Great Wei and Chu had just ended, and if there was another war with Korea in the north, it would not be a good thing for the country.

"Why is this happening? The concubine listened to Shen Yu and said that Run'er defeated the army of Xiong Tuo, the king of Chu State, in one go, and Korea should not start a war against our Great Wei. ”

"It stands to reason that this is true...... Wei Tianzi nodded and said with a smile: "Thanks to Hongrun, the Koreans also have some jealousy against my Great Wei, so they are just testing the bottom line of my Great Wei in the Shanyang area, so as to judge the current military situation of my Great Wei after the battle with the Chu State......

"If you find out the reality of my Great Wei's military strength......"

"Then ......" Wei Tianzi smiled bitterly and sighed, "I hope it's my people who are worried about the sky." Speaking of this, he seemed to realize something, shook his head and laughed at himself: "What do I say to my concubine...... In short, I don't want Hongrun to be distracted, since he boasted of Haikou, even I secretly acquiesced to many things, I don't want him to let me down because of a woman, let down Dawei. ”

"The concubine knows ......"

"By the way, I will send someone to make a list of portraits and give them to my concubine...... After a few days, you will call Hongrun and tell me about it. ”

"This ......" Concubine Shen Shu knew his son Zhao Hongrun's character too well, and was quite clear about his current situation, so she hesitated and persuaded when she heard this: "Your Majesty, why should you be in a hurry? ”

As if seeing through Concubine Shen Shu's thoughts, Wei Tianzi waved his hand and said: "I didn't immediately open Luo, I just asked him to take a look first, if there is someone who can see it, then it is naturally best, otherwise, just look for it again......"

Wei Tianzi was talking, and suddenly a little eunuch hurriedly walked in, and said a few words to the big eunuch Tong Xian, only to hear Tong Xian's face look shocked.

"What's wrong, Tong Xian?" Wei Tianzi frowned and asked, after all, if it wasn't a big deal, Tong Xian wouldn't have shown such a shocked expression.

I saw Tong Xian take a few steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there may be a rumor spread in Yingshui County, saying that the case of ambushing Xiong Fen, the envoy of the Chu State in Yongqiu last year, was committed by Xu Yin, the general of the Fen Dynasty......"

"What?"

Wei Tianzi's face was full of astonishment, and immediately, his face showed a thick anger. (To be continued.) )
