Chapter 84

At noon the next day, Wei Tianzi sat on the dragon chair in the vertical arch hall, and looked intently at a piece of writing written by him on the dragon case.

The words on this painting are the same sentence that his son said yesterday when he persuaded the 25,000 soldiers of the Junshui Battalion, a sentence that makes my blood boil when I think about it to this day.

"No indemnity, no tribute, no land, no harmony, the prince guards the country, and the king dies!"

"Tong Xian, I ...... Is it really old? ”

After a long time, Wei Tianzi asked with emotion.

From the side, the great eunuch Tong Xian bowed when he heard this, as if ignoring the gradual whiteness of Wei Tianzi's temples, and said with a smile: "But the old slave thinks that Your Majesty is in good spirits today......

"Hehehe." Wei Tianzi smiled and nodded, and said with emotion: "It's really amazing...... As I looked at this text, I suddenly felt much younger......"

Tong Xian smiled silently.

"Frame it and hang it in this arched hall." Wei Tianzi said solemnly: "No matter ten or twenty years, no one is allowed to take it off!" ”

『……』

Tong Xian was slightly surprised, you must know that this vertical arch hall is the place where the emperors of the past dynasties dealt with state affairs, and Wei Tianzi designated to frame this character and hang it in the hall, as if he was preparing to pass on this sentence and enshrine it as an ancestral teaching.

"Yes." Tong Xian respectfully rolled up the paper on the dragon case, handed it to the little eunuch behind him, and said in a low voice: "Send it to the Ministry of Industry, let the craftsmen and ministers carefully frame it, and then present it to this hall." ”

"Yes." The little eunuch bowed his head, took the paper roll and left.

At this time, a little eunuch walked out of the vertical arch hall, bowed his head and saluted: "Your Majesty, Your Highness...... Well, no, His Royal Highness King Su asked to see him, saying that he was asking for a 'man to man' conversation with His Majesty. ”

"Oh?" Wei Tianzi listened to the novel rhetoric funny, and scolded with a smile: "A fourteen-year-old son, talking about a man-to-man conversation in vain......" As he spoke, he pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Quasi, announce him in." ”

Not long after, the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun walked in from outside the palace.

In other words, it is King Su.

Walking into the hall, Zhao Hongrun bowed to the Son of Heaven.

At this time, in the hall, in addition to the recent illness of the Zhongshu Ling He Xiangxu, there are still the great eunuch Tong Xian and the Zhongshu left and right Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi, although they do not fully understand what "man-to-man dialogue" is, but they also got up and left the vertical arch hall one after another, leaving room for the Son of Heaven and King Su to talk alone.

Stare at......

Stare at......

The father and son looked at each other for a long time, but neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Zhao Hongrun spoke: "Father, this time the emperor won, right?" ”

"No, you haven't won yet." Wei Tianzi smiled slightly, shook his head and said.

Although he had already admitted this round of negative things yesterday in his heart, in front of his son, how could he admit defeat in person?

However, Zhao Hongrun was not surprised by this, and said calmly: "Does my father think that the emperor can't defeat the Chu army in Yingshui County?" ”

If it were in the past, it would be difficult for Wei Tianzi to imagine that a fourteen-year-old son would boast of defeating the Chu army, which made the entire Great Wei jealous, but after yesterday's incident in the Junshui camp, Wei Tianzi was full of confidence in the son in front of him.

But even so, he still won't admit defeat himself: "You haven't fought yet, how can you be sure that you will win?" ”

"Huh? I thought my father would be on my side...... After all, this battle may be related to the rise and fall of my Great Wei. Zhao Hongrun blinked and teased.

"......" Wei Tianzi was suddenly dumbfounded.

After that, the hall was quiet again.

I don't know how long it took for Wei Tianzi to let out a long sigh, and for the first time whispered in a tone that did not match his identity as the Son of Heaven at all: "Hongrun, do you have to go in person?" ”

Zhao Hongrun's heart trembled slightly, and he looked at Wei Tianzi with some surprise, because he had never seen his father speak to him in such a "weak" tone, and in the past, it had always been a condescending commanding tone.

After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun said solemnly: "Since the emperor proposed 'the prince guards the country', then you can't beat your mouth...... It is believed that the emperor's personal visit to the battlefield will greatly increase the morale of the soldiers and generals on the front line. Moreover, this matter is related to the Yulong Imperial Sister and the entire Great Wei Dynasty...... The emperor cannot completely trust a person or certain people, so the emperor has to go. The emperor wants to use his own eyes to perceive the entire battlefield, so that my army of Great Wei will not make a mistake and put the country's fortunes in danger. ”

Wei Tianzi pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you want me to give you the right to command the army ahead?" ”

"No, the emperor only needs a small prison army is enough."

"A little overseer?" Wei Tianzi looked at Zhao Hongrun with tears and laughter, and said angrily: "You know that I can't give it to you." …… The battlefield is not child's play, and the conquest between countries is even more related to the rise and fall of the country......"

"Therefore, the emperor retreated and only asked his father to promise one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Unconditionally let the generals on the front line obey the emperor's orders, just three times!"

"Hmm......" Wei Tianzi couldn't help but ponder when he heard this.

Although he gradually realized that the son in front of him probably had a terrifying talent, he was repeatedly surprised.

But the problem is that the war between the two countries is, after all, a major event related to the rise and fall of the entire country, how can it be entrusted to the hands of a son who is only 14 years old? What if he insisted on pushing the entire Great Wei to its demise?

Therefore, whether it is supervising the army or commanding power, it is impossible for Wei Tianzi to hand over to the son in front of him, after all, in his opinion, no matter how talented his son Zhao Hongrun is, it is impossible to know how to use soldiers better than experienced veterans on the front line.

However, if he does not give the slightest authority, then Zhao Hongrun will have no right to speak at all when he arrives at the front line, maybe the generals on the front line will respect him because of his status as the king, but it is impossible to obey his orders. In this way, this son's intelligence is useless at all.

Thinking about it this way, it may be most appropriate to give this son the authority to give three unconditional orders to the generals in front.

Because if Zhao Hongrun really made achievements in the art of war, three opportunities would be enough for the generals on the front line to realize the skills of this King Su; On the other hand, if this son actually knows nothing about the art of war, then Dawei is not unbearable if he loses three times.

After all, so far, the battlefield of Great Wei in Yingshui can be said to be defeated repeatedly, and several cities have been lost, and it is not bad to do these three times.

"Good! I'll give you three chances to unconditionally order the generals on the front line! …… Remember, only three times! ”

Glancing at Zhao Hongrun deeply, the Son of Heaven wrote this passage on the paper on the dragon case, and solemnly stamped his private seal and the jade seal of the country.

It is believed that with this thing, Zhao Hongrun can mobilize the troops on the front line at will, or the soldiers of the Junshui Battalion who go to the front line to support.

"Take it, put it away closely."

"Thank you, Father." Zhao Hongrun bowed.

He understood what Wei Tianzi meant, it was nothing more than to give him three chances, let him convince the generals on the front line, and if he did a good job three times, then those generals would naturally continue to obey his command, if he didn't do a good job, then get out, and he would no longer be qualified to meddle in the war on the front line.

After sending this holy edict, Dawei Tianzi, who knew that he could no longer change his son's mind, felt much more relaxed, and said with a smile: "This is what you are talking about, a man-to-man conversation?" ”

"Oh, the emperor hasn't said anything about this yet." As he spoke, Zhao Hongrun slowly restrained the smile on his face, and said: "Father, if the emperor does not fail in his mission this time and successfully repel the invading Chu army, I implore my father and emperor not to persecute Imperial Sister Yulong again in the future...... She doesn't want to get married, and her father is not allowed to force her! ”

"......" Wei Tianzi narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and looked at Zhao Hongrun with a frown.

At this moment, as long as Wei Tianzi nods, then Princess Yulong can have unprecedented treatment, a marriage freedom that no princess of Great Wei can enjoy.

Suddenly, Wei Tianzi showed a smile on his face that Zhao Hongrun couldn't understand: "Okay! I'm up to you! ”

"Did you really agree?"

Zhao Hongrun's heart welled up with indescribable joy, and he rarely said good things about his father, such as wisdom and martial arts, which made Wei Tianzi laugh.

But after Zhao Hongrun left satisfied, the smile on Wei Tianzi's face slowly retracted, replaced by an elusive faint smile.

"A Su girl, a jade dragon...... It seems that in the future, there is no need to be afraid of this bad son being disobedient......

The smile on Wei Tianzi's face seemed to be a little unfathomable.

At this time, the great eunuch Tong Xian probably saw Zhao Hongrun walking out of the palace, walked in at the right time, and whispered: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan has entered the palace, and he is coming to the Vertical Arch Hall at this moment." ”

"Hongjiang?" Wei Tianzi was overjoyed that he had already grasped the weakness of his eighth son, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

Because the prince who has been out of the cabinet, if there is no important matter, he will generally not come to the Vertical Arch Palace, after all, not every one of his sons is Zhao Hongrun, who is not afraid of being disgusted by his father at all.

Not long after, Zhao Hongrun's fourth brother, Yanwang Hongjiang, appeared in front of the vertical arch hall.

"Father, the emperor implores me to transfer Nanyan."

Before the Son of Heaven could ask about the intention, Yan Wang Hongjiang said the purpose of the trip by himself.

"Nanyan?" Wei Tianzi's face changed slightly, and his expression was really a little stunned.

"Isn't this a ...... when Nanyan is transferred out at this time?" Tantamount to giving up the throne?'

The great eunuch Tong Xian also looked at this Yan King in surprise.

"You're going to Nanyan?" The Son of Heaven looked at Yan Wang Hongjiang in surprise: "Why? ”

I saw King Yan Hongjiang solemnly perform a military etiquette, and said solemnly: "Because Nanyan is also the gate of my Great Wei, and the emperor is the king of Yan, it is incumbent!" ”

"You're going to help Hongyun?" Wei Tianzi was a little surprised, because as far as he knew, Yan Wang Hongjiang had always been prejudiced against Su Wang Hongrun, who said that when Zhao Hongrun was still a prince, in order to force the Son of Heaven to allow him to leave the palace, he went to harass the harem, and among the harassed harem concubines, there was Yan Wang Hongjiang's biological mother.

It is no wonder that Yanwang Hongjiang is prejudiced against Zhao Hongrun, but he didn't expect that at this time, Hongjiang planned to help his brother.

Wei Tianzi was about to ask, when suddenly another little eunuch hurriedly ran in and whispered, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Sixth asks to see you." ”

"Hiroaki? …… What's going on today?'

The request of three sons in a row made Wei Tianzi feel inexplicably worried.
