Chapter 594: The Twin Crows of External Expansion
In the evening of the same day, Zhao Hongrun ordered someone to secretly invite Zhao Laiyu to the county office, and showed the latter the three "strong country policies" of Zhou Yu, the new staff member who appeared out of nowhere in the East Palace, and the latter frowned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhou Yu ...... Where did this person come from? ”
Zhao Laiyu asked a question similar to that of Zhao Hongrun at that time.
In this regard, Zhao Hongrun shook his head regretfully, saying that he had no way of knowing, after all, Shen Yu was not good at investigating intelligence, and only introduced him in the letter as a staff member who had defected to the prince of the East Palace.
"Third uncle, what do you think?" Zhao Hongrun asked Zhao Laiyudao.
I saw Zhao Laiyu staring at the draft document in his hand with a solemn face, frowning and saying, "This person...... seems to be going to the East Palace to be targeted by the public, according to the old man, this person's mind is afraid that it is not very simple. ”
"Huh?"
Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned, because his original intention was to ask how to fight back against the prince of the East Palace, but he didn't expect Zhao Laiyu to suspect the staff member named Zhou Yu, which surprised him a little.
"What does the third uncle mean that Zhou Yu has different intentions?"
"......" Zhao Laiyu was silent and didn't speak, and only said after half a sound: "The old man has lived most of his life, and he has no other abilities, but when he looks at a person, he still has a little vision." …… This Zhou Yu, the three strong country policies he proposed, the old man always felt that there was a bit of a problem, and maybe it would cause trouble in the future. ”
"Should I fight back?" Zhao Hongrun asked.
"Calm down for a moment." Zhao Laiyu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "At present, although the prestige of the East Palace in Daliang has increased dramatically, in the eyes of the old man, these are just the moon in the water and the pavilion in the sky, and it will not be so simple if he wants to master the Great Wei Wujun single-handedly." …… Don't do it yet, the old man believes that there is still a person with a quick temper who will not be able to bear it. ”
"Brother Four Kings?" Zhao Hongrun even thought of Yanwang Hongjiang, a hot-tempered and impulsive man in his impression, but he loved the country as pure as he did.
"Yan Wang Hongjiang, this son is far more arrogant than Hongrun you, even you feel angry, I believe that Hongjiang will be furious after hearing about this. …… He will put pressure on the East Palace, Hongrun, you just need to stand on Hongjiang's side at the right time. Speaking of this, he showed a slight embarrassment on his face, and said: "For the sake of long-term planning, Hongrun, you had better fade out of the court and the opposition in the near future, and watch the battle between the East Palace and King Yong is ......."
He hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't say the words of sitting on the fish, because he knew that the king in front of him probably didn't have the heart to seize the throne at present.
However, he believes that one day, the king in front of him will definitely take the initiative to participate in the struggle for the throne.
Because, Su Wang Hongrun is not born to be a person who can be subservient!
Just like his father Zhao Yuanxi, the father and son, in fact, are not purely for profit, but they are born with an extraordinary desire to control......
At this time, Zhao Hongrun didn't notice the different color on Zhao Laiyu's face, frowned and asked, "Watching the battle between the East Palace and King Yong?" According to the current situation, is it difficult for Brother Yongwang to have a way? ”
"Hehehehe." Zhao Laiyu smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said, "If you think so, then you are underestimating Hongyu...... Hongrun, the old man is very optimistic about you, but if it weren't for you, the old man would definitely support Hongyu, not your sixth brother Hongzhao. ”
"......" Zhao Hongrun's eyes narrowed slightly, he was very clear, in terms of talent, his sixth brother Zhao Hongzhao was simply a genius, and the only shortcoming was that he was not ambitious.
Yes, born in a royal family, his ambition is a great shortcoming, which means that even if he has intelligence and talent beyond ordinary people's imagination, he will not be able to become the king of Wei.
A king without ambition cannot steer the fate of an entire nation.
“…… Among your brothers, Hongyu's talent may not be as good as you and Hongzhao, but his vision and his city government are not comparable to you and other brothers combined. Speaking of this, Zhao Laiyu stroked his beard, with a little doubt in his eyes, and muttered: "Therefore, the old man is very surprised, really surprised, Hongyu would fall into such an unfavorable situation." ”
“……”
After listening to Zhao Laiyu's words, the anxiety in Zhao Hongrun's heart gradually calmed down, and he gradually began to wonder if there was something in this matter that he didn't understand, and his second brother Yongwang Hongyu didn't look like such a simple character who would be knocked down.
After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun decided not to make any statement for the time being, and waited to see the situation on the side of Daliang, anyway, as long as the East Palace had not really mastered the Great Wei Wu Army, the momentum he had now was just like what Zhao Laiyu said, just a castle in the air.
Once he, Zhao Hongrun, returns to the girder, he can change the pattern of the girder in an instant.
It's just that in this way, he will be labeled as trying to return to the royal capital to seize the throne, which is not in line with another ambitious goal in his heart.
Brother Yongwang, you're not so weak, are you?
That night, Zhao Hongrun, who was lying on the bed, still thought about this matter repeatedly before falling asleep, recalling Zhao Hongyu's life.
In the days that followed, Zhao Hongrun was busy settling refugees outside Anling.
Although in the past, under the influence of the Wang family and other nobles, the civilians in Anling City were generally excluded and slightly hostile to the refugees outside the city, but in front of King Su, who had just severely punished the nobles in the city, no one dared to express any dissatisfaction.
After all, ordinary people, as long as they survive, will not unite to riot against the imperial court, unless there are ill-intentioned people behind their backs.
What's more, Zhao Hongrun also asked Yan Yong, the county magistrate of Anling County, to post a notice, telling the people of the city that Zhao Hongrun would make up for the county warehouse as soon as possible, and would never let the price of rice in Anling City rise, so that the panicked people's hearts naturally calmed down.
In the final analysis, the contradiction between the Anling people and the refugees outside the city is nothing more than food, the former is afraid that the arrival of the latter will cause the prices in the city to soar, but if Su Wang Hongrun personally promises this, then this contradiction will naturally disappear.
In contrast, the contradiction between the Anling people and the refugees outside the city, and their contradictions with the people of Yanling and Chumin, is more tricky.
However, for this matter, Zhao Hongrun already had an idea in his heart before he came to Anling.
"Your Highness."
Just when Zhao Hongrun was drafting a certain document in the county government study, Duan Pei of the Green Crows took the initiative to appear.
This is rare.
Because Shangshui Qingcrow, as Zhao Hongrun's hidden power, almost rarely took the initiative to show up, so that even Yan Yong, the commander of Anling County, didn't know the true identity of Duan Pei's gang.
And since Duan Pei took the initiative to ask to see him, obviously, it may be that Shangshui Qingyao has encountered some trouble.
"Get up." Zhao Hongrun put down his pen and waved his hand to signal Duan Pei, who was knocking on one knee, to get up.
I saw Duan Pei, who was dressed as a county official, stood up and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Ying Kang and the black spider are here, hoping to see Your Highness." ”
Ying Kang? Black spiders?
Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned, you must know that now Ying Kang and Black Spider, the former is the big leader of Shangshui Green Crow, and the latter is also in charge of Yangxia Black Crow with Mourning Crow, they came together, I am afraid for something.
"Let them in."
Zhao Hongrun nodded and said.
A moment later, Ying Kang and the black spider came to the study in the county government under the guidance of Duan Pei.
I saw that Ying Kang was dressed as a rich gentleman, with a smile on his face, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a rich man in the countryside, and he was still very earthy; On the other hand, the black spider is wearing a black power suit, not smiling, and it doesn't look like a good kind at first glance.
I have to say that these two people stand together, and Zhao Hongrun feels awkward no matter how he looks at it.
"Ying Kang, Black Spider, knock on Your Highness."
"Please." Looking at their outfits, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but smile and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
After glancing at each other, the black spider took the lead in reporting to Zhao Hongrun the recent work progress of their black crows, such as the construction of the hidden thief village on Geyang Mountain outside Yangxia County, and how He Zhirong, the acting county commander of Yangxia County, rectified Yangxia County.
Zhao Hongrun listened quietly, nodded from time to time, but did not speak, because he knew that the black spider must have something to do, because for such a trivial matter, there was no need to bother the leader of the black crows to run in person, just send a few black crows.
What's more, the black spider still came with Ying Kang.
However, it may be that Zhao Hongrun's fear is too heavy, and Black Spider is such a shrewd person, when it comes to the back, he actually becomes distracted, and Ying Kang only cares about smirking and talking nonsense with Zhao Hongrun, which makes Zhao Hongrun speechless.
He didn't think he had done anything to make Ying Kang and Black Spider so afraid of him!
I have to say that Zhao Hongrun has long forgotten that he had summoned nearly 20,000 merchant and water troops in an attempt to kill all the hidden thieves in Yangxia.
After waiting for a while, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help it, waved his hand and said: "Ying Kang, Black Spider, this king has always been suspicious of people, and he is not suspicious of employing people, and the promise he made to you at the beginning, as long as you treat this king loyally, this king will never take it back." …… If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly. With that, he paused and asked, "Is there any trouble with you?" ”
Seeing that Zhao Hongrun was talking about this, Ying Kang and the black spider glanced at each other, and their hearts were much more peaceful.
I saw Ying Kang complimenting him with a smile, and then whispered: "Your Highness, that's the case, didn't you tell me a few days ago that the green crows and black crows scattered their hands and stared at the people of the East Palace Prince's family?" ”
"Uh-huh." Zhao Hongrun nodded.
“…… Zai Xia and the black spider have already sent some people, but ......" Ying Kang's expression became a little embarrassed, and he said: "You know, whether it is the black crows or the green crows, just a few people may not be enough to complete His Highness's order, therefore, we hope to ...... Dilate. ”
"Expansion?" Zhao Hongrun blinked suspiciously, and then suddenly said, "You mean, attacking the hidden thieves in other places?" Co-opt them? ”
"Yes!" The black spider gritted his teeth and nodded, but his eyes glanced at Zhao Hongrun from time to time, as if he had some scruples.
Zhao Hongrun understood as soon as he heard it, it turned out that the two of them were afraid that he would misunderstand and misunderstand that they had different intentions.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun laughed, crossed his hands on the table, and looked at the two leaders of the black crows and the green crows in front of him with great interest.
Why don't you give it a try?
Raid the hidden forces of the entire Wei State?
Zhao Hongrun's heart suddenly became hot, attacking the hidden forces of the entire Wei State, which was something that even his father's inner chamberlain had not done. (To be continued.) )
