The Wei royal family's Zongwei system was a very special ancestral system, and it even seemed very incompatible at times, because the Zongwei were only loyal to the object of their initial allegiance, and they did not necessarily obey the holy edicts of the Wei kings. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's like when Zhao Hongrun's original head of the guard, Shen Yu, blocked Wei Tianzi from Wenzhao Pavilion, and it was like Meng Luo Fangcai bluntly accused the latter's younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, in front of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

Even, Meng Luo, who is only at the level of deputy general in terms of military rank, can actually say to Wu Ji at the level of a general, "What qualifications do you have to compare with me", which sounds quite inconsistent, but in fact, this is not wrong.

Because in the Wei State, Zong Wei's status is quite transcendent, whether it is Zong Wei next to the princes of previous dynasties, or Zong Wei Yu Lin Lang, after all, in a sense, Zong Wei is equivalent to the royal guard of the Ji Zhao royal family.

Therefore, even if Zhao Hongrun was unhappy at that time, there was no way to take Meng Luo - he could ignore Meng Luo, he could deliberately not set up a seat for Meng Luo, he could mock Meng Luo and humiliate Meng Luo, but he had no right to punish Meng Luo in any form.

The only one who can punish Meng Luo is the Zongfu.

After about a cup of tea, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, led several guards, and under the guidance of two Shangshui soldiers, they came to the Guan Tower.

Among the rest of the people present except for Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, Zhao Hongrun was the first person to see this third uncle seventeen years after the former was exiled.

At that time, he followed the sixth uncle Zhao Yuanyan to pick up the wind, Zhao Hongrun thought that he was a relative and friend of the sixth uncle, but he didn't expect that the sixth uncle went to pick up at that time was the third son of the former emperor who was exiled to the barren land of Nanliang for a full seventeen years, the former king of Jing Zhao Yuanzuo.

At that time, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, once gave Zhao Hongrun a very disobedient feeling, and he felt that this third uncle was filled with an indescribable sense of disobedience from head to toe, which was indescribable and unclear.

The most direct embodiment should be the dress of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang at that time, who was obviously dressed like a farmer who had just returned from working in the fields, and there were traces of cultivation on the exposed skin, but for some reason, Zhao Hongrun felt an elegant atmosphere from this person.

is also elegant, the current left minister of Qi State, the former sixth prince of Wei State Zhao Hongzhao is very atmospheric, it is the kind of heroic and frank, which makes people unconsciously have a good impression of it, but Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, makes people feel as if they are in a fog, and people can't guess what he thinks.

However, today's Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, is no longer dressed at that time, at this moment, he is wearing four-clawed python armor, stepping on combat boots, wearing a brocade belt at his waist, and wearing a crown on his head, looking heroic and vigorous, and a Confucian general.

Zhao Hongrun didn't know how to describe it, as if there was a voice in his heart that commented like this: This is the temperament that a great nobleman should have.

For some reason, Zhao Hongrun suddenly thought of the only great nobleman of the Chu State who had not been defeated so far, Shouling Jun Jingshe, but he instinctively guessed that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Shouling Jun Jingshe should be at the same height.

Including the uncle of Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, and the biological father of Mi Jiang and Mi Rui, Ru Nanjun Xiong Hao - although Zhao Hongrun has never seen Jingshe and Xiong Hao, the two famous men of the Chu State.

"Lord Wang."

When Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, stepped into the pavilion, Yang Yu, Meng Luo, and Pang Huan immediately faced the former and hugged their fists.

"Hmm." Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, nodded, glanced at the people in the room with his eyes, and smiled faintly.

Zhao Hongrun hesitated for a moment, but finally stood up and arched his hand to say hello: "Third uncle, don't come unharmed." ”

In view of the fact that Zhao Hongrun personally stood up to greet him, all the generals in the house, including the Zongwei of Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan's brothers, all clasped their fists and said in unison: "I have seen the king of Nanliang." ”

Among the crowd, only Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, said goodbye to his head, his expression was cold, but he didn't see Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang.

Zhao Yuanzuo glanced around the room, nodded one by one, his eyes stayed on Zhao Hongxuan slightly, and then he fell on Zhao Hongrun, and said with a smile: "Compared with when I first met four years ago, Hongrun is now awe-inspiring, which makes me think of a person. ”

Listening to Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, say this in a slightly melancholy and regretful tone, Zhao Hongrun thought about it and guessed the object mentioned by the former, the fifth uncle, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu.

After all, Zhao Yuantong, the uncle of the five princes, led the Yushui army to defeat the Shunshui army led by Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, in the civil strife that occurred in Daliang that year, and fully assisted Zhao Hongrun's father Emperor Wei Tianzi to ascend the throne, resulting in the defeat of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and exile.

Therefore, in various senses, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, is unforgettable for Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang.

"It's the fifth uncle, right?" Zhao Hongrun said tentatively.

Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Yes, I saw Shaohu in Daliang last year, and I thought that Yuan Tong had also returned to Daliang, but I didn't expect it...... It's just that Shaohu returned to Daliang alone. ”

Zhao Hongrun pondered his words and continued: "As far as I know, my father was originally inclined to let the fifth uncle lead the Wei Wu army, but I heard that the fifth uncle was ill and recommended General Shaohu. ”

Hearing Zhao Hongrun say this, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, looked slightly in a trance, after all, among the people present, no one knew the situation of Zhao Yuantong of Yu better than him - it was not at all as Zhao Hongrun said, but that Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, was seriously injured in that civil war, although he was lucky to pick up a life, but he also injured the valve, and since then he coughed up blood at every turn, how can he still lead the soldiers and horses?

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, has no hatred for the brother of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, although he was exiled for seventeen years, but Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, was ruined for a lifetime, so that Zhao Yuantong, the fifth son of the emperor who was originally committed to the powerful Wei State, could not pick his shoulders and hands from now on, and was weak and sickly.

It can be said that there is no winner between the two of them, and they are both losers in each other.

Even, the fate of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, was relatively worse - Zhao Yuanzuo was exiled for seventeen years at most, and now he still returned to Daliang, but what about Zhao Yuanzuo? He lost his life.

"Yuan 佲他...... Let's not talk about him yet. Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, who was in a slightly trance, shook his head, then looked at Zhao Hongrun and said, "Let's talk about the current problem first." …… When I entered the customs just now, I listened to the non-commissioned officers of my Northern Second Army say that the Northern First Army refused to allow our non-commissioned officers to enter the customs, I don't know why? ”

"Sure enough, it's not my delusion, King Nanliang's attitude towards the fifth uncle is a bit ...... Weird.'

Zhao Hongrun thought quietly.

Through observation, he found that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, behaved extremely strangely when he mentioned the brother of Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, with both jealousy and regret.

However, now is not the time to think about this matter, so Zhao Hongrun pressed it to the bottom of his heart and said with a smile: "There is indeed such a thing, as for the reason...... Well, the third uncle might as well sit down first, and you and I will talk in detail. ”

"Good!" Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, nodded, and took a few steps forward, but suddenly stopped.

Because at this time, in the Guanlou house, except for Zhao Hongrun standing in front of the main seat, the most honorable seat has to be the chief on the east side where Zhao Hongxuan, the king of Huan, is sitting.

It stands to reason that the king of Nanliang, as the elder of his uncle, Zhao Hongxuan should give way to the former, but it is obvious that Zhao Hongxuan crossed his arms and looked cold, and he was not ready to give up his seat at all.

Seeing Zhao Hongxuan's attitude, Zhao Hongrun naturally didn't want his younger brother to let him sit and sweep his younger brother's face, so he glanced at Wu Ji, the general of the merchant army who was sitting in the chief on the right side.

Of course, directly ask Wu Ji to sit down, although Wu Ji won't mind, but it's still not good after all, so Zhao Hongrun said after thinking about it: "Wu Ji, you guys should step back and rest first." ”

Hearing this, Wu Ji, Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and other generals understood their intentions, got up one after another, and retreated from the house after clasping their fists and saluting.

At this time, only Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Hongxuan, and Zhao Yuanzuo's Zong Wei remained in the house, as well as the general Zhou Yu.

Glancing at the seat on the right, and then at Zhao Hongxuan, who did not mean to give up his seat at all, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, chuckled, and walked straight to the position where Wu Ji was originally located and sat down.

Seeing this, Yang Yu, Meng Luo, and Pang Huan were about to follow their prince to take a seat, but Zong Weiwei, who didn't want Zhao Hongrun, said coldly: "You three wait!" …… As a Zongwei, you should abide by your duty, and you must not exceed the rules and ruin the reputation of my Zongwei. ”

The implication is that he is preventing Yang Yu, Meng Luo, and Pang Huan from taking their seats.

Seeing this, Yang Yu, Meng Luo, and Pang Huan were stunned when they heard this, and even Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, frowned slightly and glanced at Wei Jiao.

But he didn't say anything, because just like Zhao Hongrun had no way to Meng Luo, Zhao Yuanzuo also had no way to Wei Jiao.

However, through this incident, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, also vaguely saw something, and said to Zhao Hongrun with a smile: "Hongrun, isn't it Yang Yu, Meng Luo, Pang Huan, the three of them, what offended you?" ”

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Meng Luo when he heard this, in fact, because the other party was Zong Wei's identity, if Meng Luo had just collided with him, he would probably choose to ignore it, after all, for such a trivial matter, he reported to the Zongfu and mobilized the people, which would inevitably seem petty.

But Meng Luo just accused his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan in front of his brother, and Zhao Hongrun couldn't bear it - even if Zhao Hongxuan shouldn't have a thousand shouldn't and shouldn't, there is also this brother preaching, and it's not the turn of others to point fingers.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun ignored the steps given by Zhao Yuanzuo, and said lightly: "It's not about offending or not offending, I just want these three people to stand quietly for a while." …… They are all Zongwei, Wei Jiao and Zhang Biao can stand, why can't these three stand? ”

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun was so faceless, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was slightly stunned, turned his head and glanced at Yang Yu, Meng Luo, and Pang Huan, and had already guessed in his heart that it must have been when he hadn't come yet, and these three people had offended the two brothers Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan.

However, the reason given by Zhao Hongrun really made Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, unable to refute.

Therefore, he did not stick to this matter, and then shifted the topic to the issue of the stationing of Tianmen Pass.

"Hongrun, I heard that your army and the Northern First Army refused to allow our sergeant to enter Tianmen Pass, I don't know what the reason is?"

Zhao Hongrun smiled faintly when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Before I answer, I hope that the third uncle will solve my doubts first." …… When our army was trapped in the party a while ago, did the third uncle ever think about helping our army? ”

“……”

Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, looked up at Zhao Hongrun.

Four-eye handover.
