Chapter 1264: Strange Reward

"King Su! King Su! ”

"King Su! King Su! ”

In the Jiying Palace, when King Su Zhao Hongrun walked to the center of the hall to accept the reward, in the seats on the east side of the hall, the Su Wang Party, which accounted for almost half of the number of people, either raised their arms and cheered, or smiled and stroked their palms, and King Qing's complexion suddenly became extremely bad.

I have to say that King Qingwang Hongxin has also been a little self-aggrandizing recently, because he is the only prince who occupies a considerable degree of voice in the court and in the army: in the military, he has the support of a series of generals such as Zhao Yuanzuo, Jiang Wei, and Pang Huan, the king of Southern Liang; In the middle of the court, with the old man of the former military department Shangshu Li Fang, the military department is now the only one who looks ahead, plus the household department of Xiangwang Hongjing, who is a political ally, and the officials he secretly recruited from the officials of the eldest prince Zhao Hongli, it is not an exaggeration to say that the power of Qingwang Hongxin has expanded to the three departments of officials, households, and soldiers of the six departments of the imperial court.

Different from the Ministry of Industry, which has almost nothing to say in court affairs, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War, which are the three most critical ministries of the six ministries of the imperial court, not to mention the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, the two eldest and second ministries of 10,000 years, even if the rights are partially emptied by the General's Office, they still hold the right to recruit and transfer county soldiers across the country, and are responsible for many rights including the overall planning of armaments, horse administration (similar to the post office), post houses, etc.

In front of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War, even if it is the Criminal Department in charge of King Yongwang Hongyu, it is not as powerful as any of the first three under normal circumstances.

Because of this, don't look at King Yong's reputation now holding the authority of the prison country, but King Qing Hong's confidence is not at all afraid, and even he has great confidence to bring down King Yong-as long as King Yong's side commits any mistakes.

But today in the Jiying Palace, the reality gave him a heavy blow, and he experienced for the first time that the power of Lao Ba Hongrun had become so powerful: although his support in the court was not as good as his, but in the military, it was simply an overwhelming advantage.

Qingwang Hongxin still remembers that in the sixteenth year of Hongde seven years ago, when their father and emperor tested the talents of his brothers, the lazy old man at that time wrote a crooked poem that did not make sense, and made their father angry because he took a position in disguise - his ambition was not in the big position.

Yes, since then, the news has spread from the government and the opposition, laughing that "His Royal Highness has no ambitions, no ambitions, and wants to be the king", and it is precisely for this reason that the brothers have always ignored the threat of this eighth brother.

But who would have thought that the Eighth Highness, who had "no ambition and no ambition", would become a famous marshal in many countries seven years later, even if it was a Korean nobleman or a Chu nobleman who was eager to eat him alive, when he mentioned this person, he couldn't help but be in awe and called him "Wei Gonggongrun".

Does this brother remember his horrific declaration when he was fourteen years old?

For a time, the pressure on Qingwang Hongxin increased dramatically.

He suddenly woke up because of this scene in Jiying Hall today: it turned out that the biggest threat had not always been King Yongwang Hongyu, but King Su Hongrun.

This conjecture was not born out of thin air, after all, Su Wang Hongrun also has many advantages.

First of all, thanks to the sixth "Rui Wang Hongzhao" left Wei and went to Qi, Wei Tianzi loved the eighth "Su Wang Hongrun" the most, at first a "bad son", "inferior son", and later changed his name to "Hu'er", among the brothers, in addition to the sixth child who had won the praise of Wei Tianzi "Qilin'er", who else got this kind of affectionate title?

Secondly, although the supporters of Lao Ba Hongrun have no right to speak in the court, this does not mean that Lao Ba has no one in the court, and on the side of the minister of Zhongshu, there is Zhongshu Zuo Cheng Yu Ziqi who has always been good friends with Lao Ba, and among the six departments and twenty-four divisions of the imperial court, the Ministry of Industry, including the Yu Manufacturing Bureau under its jurisdiction, as well as the General Administration of Metallurgy and the Military Casting Bureau, these are the only ones who look forward to the old eight horses.

It may be that these ministries and government departments are not qualified to participate in the government affairs, but it does not mean that this force is weak, and in this regard, Qingwang Hongxin himself has a deep understanding - he suffered a loss in this regard last year, and was secretly ordered by Su Wang Hongrun to detain his armaments, and he dignified Qingwang Hongxin, the prince who is currently the most powerful in the court, has nothing to do about it.

And again, that is the power of the old eight in the military, the overwhelming power.

Not to mention the 50,000 Shang Shui Army, the 50,000 Yanling Army, the 5,000 Youma Army, the 50,000 Jiaojiao Cavalry of the Sanchuan Grand Overseer Bo Xile, and the Hedong Fenyin Army of Lintao Jun Wei Ji, these are all Su Wang army on the bright side, and in addition, the Bailibai of the Junshui Army, Sima An of the Dangshan Army, Xu Yin of the Fencheng Sai, Zhu Hai of the Chenggao Army, including the late Wei Mu of the Nanyan Army, in addition to Nangong Yao, the general of the sixth battalion of the garrison, whether deep or shallow, had a relationship with Lao Ba.

Not to mention the younger brother of the eighth child, the Northern First Army of Huan Wang Hongxuan.

Su Wang Hongrun's energy in the military can be called the first in the country, even if the rest of the (elite) army of Wei is added together, I am afraid that there are not as many troops as Su Wang's family.

What's even worse is that Lao Ba also holds the Smelting Bureau and the Military Casting Bureau, two departments for building ordnance and weapons, and as long as he wants, he can handle any army at will.

Coupled with the defection of Wei aristocratic forces such as Zhao Shen, King of Chengling, and Zhao Tan, Marquis of Anping, Lao Ba was no longer unanimously excluded by the domestic aristocracy as he was at the beginning.

The more Qingwang Hongxin thought about it, the more uneasy he became: when their brothers were fighting for the throne, this old eight, secretly, quietly gathered such a huge force,

Compared with King Qingxin's panic, at this time, King Yongwang Hongyu also looked at Zhao Hongrun, who walked to the center of the hall to accept the reward, with a complicated expression.

He believes that the declaration of the eighth child's intention at the age of fourteen is nine out of ten true, after all, this younger brother was originally a lazy person, but the problem is that the eighth brother was only fourteen years old at the time, and now seven years later, the eighth is twenty-one years old, who dares to guarantee that during this period, this younger brother's mind has never changed?

Yongwang Hongyu glanced at Wei Tianzi quietly, and thought of the fact that this father and emperor had not given him the title of "Prince Prince" for a long time.

In this regard, Wei Tianzi explained to Yongwang Hongyu at that time that he did not appoint him as the prince, just to test him conveniently, and Yongwang Hongyu believed this statement.

After all, if his talent is not enough to serve as the prince, when his father abolish the prince again in the future, it will definitely cause unease among the people, and even the history of Wei will leave a bad record similar to "twice deposing the crown prince" - Wei Tianzi will have such concerns, and it is not incomprehensible that King Yong's reputation will not be incomprehensible.

But today in the Jiying Palace, looking at the old eight who seemed to be expected by everyone, Yongwang Hongyu couldn't help but have a guess: Will my father not make me the prince, the reason is not at all as he said, but to borrow my hand to pave the way for the eighth child?

Thinking about it this way, Yongwang Hongyu's mentality is also a little abnormal, after all, no one can stand being treated as a spare tire, let alone in the matter of "fighting for the throne".

Taking a deep breath, Yongwang Hongyu secretly calmed down, and prepared to discuss it with his staff member Zhang Qigong after the incident.

While Qingwang Hongxin and Yongwang Hongyu had different complexions, Xiangwang Hongjing also looked at Zhao Hongrun thoughtfully, his eyes rolled slightly, his expression was playful, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Among these Zhao Hongrun's brothers, now it is the eldest prince Zhao Hongli who is the most calm, smiling and watching Zhao Hongrun walk towards the center of the hall, stroking his palms to congratulate, talking about his bearing, compared with Zhao Hongli at the beginning, it is simply like two people, I really don't know how Luo Ying was trained, and he actually changed the narrow-minded Zhao Hongli to this appearance.

Of course, it is also possible that it is deliberately pretended.

Under the gaze of everyone in the hall, Zhao Hongrun stepped to the center of the main hall, bowed his head towards Wei Tianzi and knocked on one knee - because today is a reward for military merits, therefore, he should perform the gift of martial arts.

In order to take care of the face of Qin people such as Qin Shaojun, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi, Changxin Hou Wang Jian, Yangquan Jun Yingyi and other Qin people and allies of the Qin State, Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, mentioned Zhao Hongrun's exploits in this battle, but skipped the latter's feat of counterattacking Qin State and landing on Xianyang City, and only mentioned Zhao Hongrun's other exploits.

For example, it defeated the anti-Wei forces in Sanchuan, promoted the alliance between Qin and Wei, and pacified Hedong County, supported Shanyang County, supported the Yongqiu battlefield, and so on.

As for Zhao Hongrun's single-handedly defeating the Qin State, Du You didn't say a word, and everyone in the palace, taking into account the face of Qin Shaojun and others, had no such thing - in fact, just looking at the nomination of Zhao Hongrun of the Ministry of Rites was ranked before Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, you can probably know what's going on.

But then again, although Zhao Hongrun was nominated for the first place of the "First Class Meritorious", the reward was pitiful in comparison, except for some rewards in terms of wealth and beauty, and he was awarded the title of "Shang Jun (Shang Shui Jun)".

At first, when they heard the title of "Shang Jun" to Zhao Hongrun, Yongwang Hongyu and Qingwang Hongxin were slightly stunned, faintly happy, and they secretly said in their hearts: The father is actually willing to officially seal the eighth brother?

Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, then added: It can be inherited by any heir.

Yongwang Hongyu and Qingwang Hongxin were speechless for a moment, and their feelings were for a long time, and they actually canonized the unborn son of the eighth child.

But the question is, why such a strange reward?

Even if it was Zhao Hongrun, he was dumbfounded at the moment, looking at Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, with a blank face.

In this regard, Du You could only smile bitterly to himself, and secretly said in his heart: His Royal Highness King Su, this was changed by His Majesty afterwards, and it has nothing to do with Du.

I don't know if I saw Du You's embarrassment and helplessness, but because of the fact that in front of everyone, Zhao Hongrun still respectfully accepted the reward - to get a title of "Shangjun" for his son who has not yet been born, which is also quite good.

At this time, in the east seat of the main hall, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, looked at this scene with different expressions.

Compared with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, who only frowned slightly, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Yu, took a deep look at Zhao Hongrun, and then glanced at Wei Tianzi quietly.

"Oh, I haven't rewarded the feudal kingdom yet, but I actually said that "there is no way to seal it"?"

Glancing at the silent Wei Tianzi, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, once again turned his gaze to Zhao Hongrun, remembering that this nephew was the only one who was still thinking about the harvest of the field after the victory, so he stroked his palm casually and congratulated him.
