When Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, was in the East Palace, his elder brother Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, came to the palace of King Yong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

For the arrival of this eighth brother, Yongwang Hongyu was very surprised.

Don't look at what he said outside the Xuanzheng Hall yesterday, 'Foolish brother invites the virtuous brother to eat wine another day', in fact, it was just polite words.

After all, right now in the court, many people know that the East Palace and King Yong are fighting in full swing, as if they have entered the stage of white-knuckle warfare, so people who are not from the East Palace Party or the King Yongwang Party have been shy about contacting these two forces recently, so as not to be labeled as the East Palace Party or the King Yongwang Party.

And the eighth prince, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, don't look at him and Yongwang Hongyu are very close on weekdays, but he has never expressed his stance to support the latter, so Yongwang Hongyu is surprised by the arrival of Zhao Hongrun today.

He did not believe that Zhao Hongyun would not be able to see the current situation between the DPRK and China.

"Eighth brother, have you finally made up your mind to help Brother Fool?"

When the subordinates of the house served the wine and food, Yongwang Hongyu invited Zhao Hongrun to the banquet and said jokingly.

Hearing King Yong's joke, Zhao Hongrun didn't care, and said: "Ah, the younger brother came here this time to discuss with Brother Wang, how to kick the East Palace and win Brother Wang's kindness." ”

Yongwang Hongyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, to be honest, in fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, with or without the help of the eighth brother in front of him, he is sure to bring down the East Palace.

believes this, and the eighth brother on the other side also knows it.

But the problem is that the eighth brother on the other side doesn't look like a person who tends to be inflammatory.

What's more, even if he, Zhao Hongyu, overthrew the top position of the East Palace, he would not attack the eighth brother in front of him.

King Su Zhao Hongrun, the former eighth prince, is now not an ordinary status in the Wei State, as if he has become the banner of the younger generation of the Zhao royal family surnamed Ji, and more importantly, this King Su already has his own fiefdom - Shangshuiyi (county).

This is canonized by the contemporary Wei Tianzi, which means that no matter which prince inherits the position of the king of Wei in the future, even if Zhao Hongrun is unhappy and expelled from the Liang, Zhao Hongrun still has a fiefdom to settle down.

The first generation of kings rewarded the fiefdom, and the later kings wanted to get it back, it was extremely difficult, I really thought that the vertical arch hall and the imperial court did not want to take back the fiefdom of the original Yang King, Chengling King and others?

There's just no way!

Because it was rewarded by the kings of the previous Wei Kingdom, unless the King of Yuanyang and the King of Chengling couldn't think of it and openly rebelled against the Wei State, otherwise, the Vertical Arch Hall and the imperial court almost couldn't get it back by legitimate means, because this was also considered a "violation of the ancestral system", to put it bluntly, it was a slap in the face of the first king, even if it was the kings of the Wei State in the past dynasties, they couldn't afford to bear it.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Hongrun, who got Shangshui County as a fiefdom, is now invincible, as long as he does not rebel against Wei, even if his brother who inherits the throne of the king does not like him in the future, he will not be able to help him.

Of course, this just means that you can't use legitimate means, as for improper means, I believe that Xinjun will definitely weigh it before doing it, after all, this kind of disgraceful thing is like a double-edged sword, which can not only hurt the enemy, but also hurt himself.

It is precisely because he knows this that Yongwang Hongyu does not believe that the eighth brother in front of him is attached to him, because there is no need.

"What's wrong?" Yongwang Hongyu pondered for a moment, frowned and asked.

Zhao Hongrun took a sip of wine with a wine glass, did not hide it, and said lightly: "Donggong wants Xiao Xuan to be in charge of the Northern First Army. ”

"Oh." Yongwang Hongyu nodded suddenly.

"It's really self-inflicted...... actually pulled Xiao Jiu into the water."

Yongwang Hongyu secretly sneered twice.

In fact, many people know that King Su Zhao Hongrun has two reverse scales, one is his adoptive mother in the palace and the concubine Shen Shufei who lives in Ningxiang Palace; There is also a younger brother outside the palace, Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan.

If someone dares to play conspiracy and trickery on these two, it is no less than slapping His Royal Highness King Su in person.

And now, the East Palace actually dared to pull Zhao Hongxuan into the water and involve it in the "Dongyong Dispute", Yongwang Hongyu is really ridiculous - could it be that God wants Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, to die?

"What do you want to do, Hongyun?" Yongwang Hongyu asked.

Zhao Hongrun poured a glass of wine for Yongwang Hongyu and said in a low voice: "Little brother doesn't care about other things, as long as the Northern First Army no longer exists." ”

King Yongwang Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, because this matter was very simple - the East Palace fell, and the Northern First Army ceased to exist.

"Hongrun and don't be impatient." He saluted Zhao Hongrun with a glass of glass, and said with a smile: "It won't be long before Hongrun can achieve his heart." ”

Zhao Hongrun nodded and said calmly, "I will cooperate with Brother Wang." ”

With that, he took a glass of wine from his glass.

『……』

Listening to Zhao Hongrun's words, Yongwang Hongyu was slightly stunned, and then his face showed a little inexplicable self-deprecation: his intentions can be hidden from others, can he still hide the Zhao leader in front of him whose intelligence is comparable to that of Qiliner Zhao Hongzhao?

After that, the two ended the topic quite tacitly, chatting about some inconsequential things while drinking.

Chatting and chatting, Zhou Yue, the head of the sect guard of Yongwang Hongyu, hurriedly walked in, and when he saw Zhao Hongrun sitting in the hall, he showed an expression of wanting to speak and stopping.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun wanted to say goodbye and leave, but saw Yongwang Hongyu wave his hand and said to Zhou Yue: "Say, what's the matter, Hongrun is not an outsider." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yue hugged his fists and said, "Yes!" …… The news just received that the East Palace has stated that it is willing to hand over all the income from northern Xinjiang to the imperial court. ”

Yongwang Hongyu narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Tsk, Donggong's reaction is quite fast...... Not bad. Hehehehe...... You stand down. ”

"Yes!" Zhou Yue, the head of the sect guard, retreated with his fists in accordance with his words.

Glancing at the smiling Yongwang Hongyu, Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly.

In fact, he also knew that since King Yong Hongyu said those words in the Xuanzheng Hall yesterday, and he was willing to hand over all the income from northern Xinjiang to the imperial court, then it was destined that the Donggong Party would have no way to retreat this time, so he could only follow suit.

This can really be described as a thousand catties: King Yong's side used the insignificant so-called "all capture" to force the Donggong Party to grit its teeth and spit out the meat swallowed in its mouth.

Because otherwise, Zhao Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, will be attacked from the perspective of morality and morality, who will make him the prince - since he sits in this position, he is destined to 'do' better than other brothers, otherwise why become the prince?

"Do" here refers to making gestures, that is, morality, etiquette, words and deeds, and so on.

To put it bluntly, the crown prince Zhao Hongli is far inferior to his brother Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, in leading troops to fight, and the government and the opposition will not blame this kind of thing, so even if the Northern First Army commanded by the prince Zhao Hongli fought badly during the Northern Xinjiang Campaign, no one would attack him.

After all, Zhao Hongli is the crown prince, not a general, it is enough to have the intention of "the prince guarding the country", and not all of the children of the Zhao family are geniuses such as Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, and Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

But then again, if there is any problem with the morality of the prince of the East Palace, then there will be a lot of people who will accuse him and attack him.

Therefore, the Donggong Party must hand over all their gains in Northern Xinjiang, not even a piece of jade or a portrait, otherwise they will fall into the mouth and become a lever for the Yongwang Party to attack them.

But what Zhao Hongrun didn't expect was that Donggong would make a statement so quickly, shouldn't he discuss it with those nobles and families who supported him? At least I know that I will meet the other party, right?

"Have you already discussed it?"

A thought flashed in Zhao Hongrun's heart, but he immediately vetoed it.

After all, if the Donggong Party had already discussed the result, they would have acted long before King Yong's move—if the Donggong Party was the first to hand over the income from Northern Xinjiang to the imperial court, even if they only handed over a part of it, there would be no problem.

Yes, the most fundamental reason is just because King Yongwang Hongyu took the lead and handed over all the income in northern Xinjiang to the imperial court.

This step backward can be described as backward step by step.

"It seems that Donggong is good at making claims, and wants to make a cut before playing...... Hmm, Zhou Yu is King Yong's person, and he will definitely find ways to make the situation of the East Palace worse......

Zhao Hongrun touched his chin thoughtfully, and sneered in his heart.

You must know that the meaning of the East Palace Party and the East Palace is completely different, like the East Palace, without consulting with those nobles who support him, rashly speaking for his East Palace Party and handing over all the income in the north to the imperial court, which is easy to cause the disgust of those nobles.

Do you really think that those nobles are righteous people who are eager for justice and righteousness?

In order to form the Northern First Army, the nobles of the Donggong Party did not know how much manpower and material resources they had invested, and they were counting on recovering their losses in the Northern Xinjiang Campaign and making some meritorious contributions by the way, but now that the Donggong was in a hurry to donate the meat they swallowed to the imperial court, they still had to make trouble?

Facts have proved that Zhao Hongrun's guess is indeed true.

A few days later, there was a rumor that "there were many conflicts within the Donggong Party due to the donation".

Of course, rumors are just rumors, Zhao Hongrun will not be gullible, what he cares about is that the number of guests visiting Yongwang Hongyu seems to be gradually increasing, and many of them are originally noble children who are attached to the prince of the East Palace.

After a few days like this, Da Liang spread a rumor again, saying that two noble children met on the street, disagreed, and fought, and what was jaw-dropping was that these two noble children were once people who were attached to the East Palace.

After a few days, the rumors gradually escalated, and the aristocratic children of the Donggong Party spread all kinds of scandals one after another, or complained about the Donggong in public, or accused the Donggong of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge while drunk, in short, the reputation of the Donggong Party and the Donggong Palace deteriorated.

Gradually, the local Wei people in Daliang had all kinds of delusions, some believed that the East Palace was actually unwilling to hand over the gains obtained in the north to the imperial court, and some believed that the East Palace crossed the river and demolished the bridge, reneging on the previous agreement, and would support the interests of his nobles as a bargaining chip to win the favor of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court.

A few days later, rumors were revealed that the Donggong Party had not actually handed over all the proceeds to the imperial court.

What is even more appalling is that in mid-May, it was suddenly revealed that the Northern First Army had massacred local civilians in northern Xinjiang, lied about military exploits, and plundered local civilians (Hedong County), resulting in the death of more than 100,000 people.

For a time, the reputation of the prince of the East Palace in Daliang was sharply affected. (To be continued.) )
