———— the following text————

In fact, the news of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, returning to Daliang, had already been discovered by people with a heart when his dilapidated carriage drove to the palace.

It seems that this kind of major event cannot be hidden at all.

After all, it was Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, who had been exiled for the first time in seventeen years and returned to Daliang, and I believe that as long as this news is a day or two, it will quickly turn into a storm, instantly replacing the gambling game of the Smelting Bureau and the Military Casting Bureau a while ago, and replacing the case of Xu Yin, the general of Fen Shensai, who was suspected of murdering Xiong Fen, the envoy of the Chu State, and has become the most talked-about wonder in Daliang City.

In fact, the more well-informed officials of the DPRK and China have already learned the news at this moment and have been discussing it a lot.

It's no wonder, after all, Zhao Yuanzuo's identity is too sensitive, he is the one who aided and assisted the emperor's eldest son Zhao Yuanling, and the current Wei monarch Zhao Yuanxi, who was the enemy of Zhao Yuanxi, was a prince (prince) who had raised troops to rebel.

"King Jing...... His Majesty actually recalled King Jing back to Daliang. ”

In the mansion of Li Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, his eldest son, Li Jin, the director of the War Casting Bureau, looked incredulous.

The "King Jing" in his mouth is the royal name of Zhao Yuanzuo during the princely period.

"Silence!"

As soon as he heard the word "King Jing", Li Feng subconsciously scolded his son, after all. The word "King Jing" is a forbidden word, and it is a royal name that has been sealed for seventeen years.

Although Wei Tianzi has now recalled Zhao Yuanzuo, a former brother, to Daliang, who can guarantee that Wei Tianzi has really forgotten the events of that day in his heart?

But at times like this, it can be quite fatal to say the wrong thing.

"It's the King of Southern Liang." Li Wei corrected in a deep voice,

Li Jin is not stupid, as soon as he heard this, he realized that he had lost his words. Hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, the king of Nanliang ......"

Li Fu nodded with satisfaction, and then asked suspiciously, "How did you know?" ”

Li Jin's face was a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Li Wei didn't ask anymore, after all, at this moment, his son would show such an embarrassed look, which should be related to the matter of the Smelting Bureau.

In this matter, Li Fu personally went to the Vertical Arch Hall to intercede with Wei Tianzi, asking the latter to intervene in the gambling contract between the Military Casting Bureau and the Smelting Bureau. It's not a glorious thing.

However, after half a ring, Li Jin took the initiative to vaguely explain the reason: "When the child came out of the palace, he happened to see Li Cheng, the president of the Three Guards, and brought that one into the palace near the palace gate......"

I have to say that that scene really shocked Li Jin, and hurriedly came to his father's house to find out the news.

After all, his father was a secretary of the military department, and he talked about getting news. Naturally, he is better informed than him, the Bureau of Soldiers.

To Li Jin's surprise, his father didn't seem surprised that Zhao Yuanzuo, the former king of Jing, returned to Daliang. As if I already knew.

Seeing this, Li Jin cautiously probed: "Father, didn't you already get this matter?" ”

Don't think that their father and son, Li Wei will tell his son everything he knows. Only people who have experienced too many things will understand, and sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.

But for now. After looking at Li Jin a few times, Li Wei stroked his beard and said, "Since the king of Nanliang has arrived in Daliang, it doesn't hurt for my father to tell you." …… Yes, as early as a month ago, my father had learned that the king of Southern Liang would return to Daliang. "Speaking of which. He muttered, "I don't want to even have Grand Commander Li Cheng come forward...... Just outside the palace gate, it can be said that there is an undercurrent emerging, right? ”

Li Jin didn't ask 'why didn't you tell me since you already knew', it was obvious that Wei Tianzi would definitely block the news in advance for such a big event, if his father Li Wei ignored Wei Tianzi's prohibition and privately revealed this news to his son, once the news accidentally leaked, then the Li family would be unlucky.

This is also a crime of deception!

Glancing at his father, Li Jin nodded and said, "According to what the child has seen, the five sect guards beside the King of Nanliang are almost the same as those of the commander of Li Cheng...... It's like an enemy meeting each other. However, it was stopped by the king of Nanliang. ”

"Hmm." Li Fu nodded.

"Father, the king of Nanliang was exiled for seventeen years, and His Majesty suddenly summoned him, I don't know what the so-called matter?"

"......" Li Yan thought about it, and felt that there was no need to hide it from him, the son who held an important position in the War Casting Bureau, and said with a straight face: "Do you remember that King Yi returned to Daliang from Longxi a month ago?" ”

The King Yi in his mouth refers to Zhao Hongrun's six uncles, King Yi Zhao Yuanyan.

"Hmm." Li Jin nodded puzzled, very puzzled in his heart, he didn't understand, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was recalled to Daliang by Wei Tianzi, what was the connection between this and Yiwang Zhao Yuanli returning to Daliang a month ago.

It is no wonder that after all, only a few people know the news of the "Longxi Danger", except for Zhao Hongrun because of his relationship with his sixth uncle Zhao Yuanyan, who did not hide him, Wei Tianzi only revealed the news to Zhao Yuanyan, the Zongzheng of the Zongfu, the six Shangshu, and the three Zhongshu ministers headed by Lin Yuyang.

To put it bluntly, although Li Jin is also in an important position in the court, there is still a long way to go before he was informed of this key news by Wei Tianzi for the first time.

"When King Yi returned to Daliang, he told His Majesty a piece of news that was very important. …… You should know that the foundation of my Great Wei royal family is in Longxi. ”

"Well, Longxi Ji's surname is Wei......" Li Jin nodded.

The surname of Da Wei Ji is the Zhao family, which originates from the Wei family of the surname of Longxi Ji, which is a well-known thing for all the people of Wei.

"Could it be that something has happened in Longxi?" Li Jin asked suspiciously.

Li Wei nodded, and said in a deep voice: "King Yi brought back the news, saying that a war broke out between Longxi and Xirong, and this battle is said to have been fought for nearly ten years, and according to King Yi, the situation in Longxi is getting worse. Without support, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the Wei family surnamed Ji will cease to exist...... Even if a few survive, I am afraid that they will become slaves of Sijon. ”

Li Jin's eyes widened when he heard this.

You must know that the Li family is a clan that originated in the land of Sanchuan, and it is said that the ancestor was once a retainer of the Ji Zhao family. Although the status is not high, it is undeniable that compared with those who claim to be Wei people, but are actually descendants of Zheng and Liang, the Li family is one of the real Wei people.

Because of this, Li Jin was extremely shocked and angry that Xirong dared to attack Longxi, their mother kingdom of Great Wei.

Li Fu noticed his son's staring eyes, waved his hand to signal him to calm down for a while, and said at the same time: "Your Majesty will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Ji family be attacked by Xirong and become a prisoner or even a slave of Xirong, after all, the Ji Zhao family originates from the Ji Wei family." If the Ji Wei clan really fell to such an ending, the Ji Zhao clan would also be disgraced, so His Majesty, at the suggestion of the prince, will ...... Hmm, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was recalled to Daliang. At this point, he paused and revealed, "Actually. His Royal Highness Vertical Gong ordered my military department to ask you to cast 50,000 more sets of equipment armor in the Soldier Casting Bureau. It was prepared in advance for the new army of the King of Southern Liang. ”

"I see......"

Li Jin suddenly realized when he heard this, and then he understood why the order for weapons suddenly surged from 80,000 to 130,000 sets, almost driving him crazy.

In fact, because of this incident, Li Jin had knocked on the side more than once, trying to get some news from the mouths of the officials of the Ministry of War, but it was a pity. The officials only knew that the order had been issued by the Hanging Arch Temple, but none of them knew why.

It wasn't until now that his father Li Fa revealed the mystery, and the 50,000 sets of equipment turned out to be in preparation for the Western Expedition.

"But father. Pacify...... No, the king of Nanliang ......"

Li Jin's face showed a little worry.

Although seventeen years have passed, Li Jin still remembers that day.

At that time, he was just at the age of weak crowns, standing on the gate of Daliang City, looking dumbfounded at an army under the banner of "Shunshui" and another army under the banner of "Yushui", these two elite divisions were killing in the dark inside and outside the city, and the blood was flowing like a river.

At that time, within a radius of 50 miles from Daliang City, it became a battlefield.

It was also on that day that Daliang lost two elite divisions stationed in Beijing, the "Shunshui Army" and the "Yushui Army".

At the same time, he also lost two royal geniuses: the third son of the emperor, "King Jing" Zhao Yuanzuo, was defeated, although later after Wei Tianzi ascended the throne, he pardoned the world, and also pardoned Zhao Yuanzuo's crimes, renamed the king of Southern Liang and exiled him; The fifth son of the emperor, "King Yu" Zhao Yuantong, who assisted Wei Tianzi to seize the throne, was shot in the chest with a bow and crossbow on the battlefield, and was seriously injured and fainted.

"If it weren't for the battle of that day, I would be ...... Hey!'

Thinking back on this, Li Jin shook his head and sighed: In that battle, Great Wei really lost a lot.

Indeed, in that civil strife, the Wei State did suffer huge losses, first of all, the Shunshui Army and the Yushui Army, the two elite guards at that time, almost fought to the extent that they were all killed, and countless fierce generals were killed.

Even, even at that time, Wei Tianzi, Yu King Zhao Yuantong, Jing King Zhao Yuanzuo, and the guards around these princes, several people were killed in battle.

For example, Zhao Hongrun's third Bonan Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo, when Zhao Hongrun and his sixth uncle Zhao Yuanyan greeted the latter in the Shili Pavilion outside Daliang City, there were only five Zongwei left by the latter's side.

That is almost the same period as the general Bailibai of the Junshui Battalion, the general of the Fencheng Sai Xu Yin, and the general of the Dangshan Battalion Sima An, both of them are from the Zongfu, and there is no difference in strength and ability.

It can only be said that Wei is not without generals who are good at fighting, but there are many brave generals who have died in the civil strife in the seventeenth year.

Fortunately, afterwards, Wei Tianzi quickly promoted Bailiba, Xu Yin, Sima An and others to the general of the permanent army, and reinvigorated the military that had been exhausted because of that battle, otherwise, it would really be a mess.

"After seventeen years, the two brothers met again, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse......"

Li Fu rubbed his beard and muttered.

Hearing this, Li Jin also had a little curiosity in his heart.

In fact, he was also full of curiosity about this matter, but it was a pity that he gave him ten dares, and he didn't dare to peek at the scene when Wei Tianzi met with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang.

In his opinion, this kind of thing can only be guessed, and no one should have the courage to do this.

However, he guessed wrong, at this moment, the bold Zhao Hongrun hid behind a tree in the imperial garden, peeking at the meeting between his father, Emperor Wei Tianzi and Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and eavesdropping on their conversation.

Well, that's audacious!
