"Father, could it be that you are pushing behind it?"

Looking at Wei Tianzi, who was pretending to be dazed, Zhao Hongrun asked again with a suspicious expression.

"You doubt me?"

Wei Tianzi said, "Do you think I look like that kind of person?" Expression.

Unexpectedly, his son didn't give Lao Tzu face at all, his eyes narrowed, and he said more and more suspiciously: "Think about it carefully, this really looks like what my father would do......"

You must know that in Zhao Hongrun's heart, no one can compare to his father in terms of yin damage.

To use an inappropriate analogy, the father and son made an appointment to go to someone's melon field to steal melons, and said that one person would take one, but as a result, on the way home when he was found by the melon farmer, Lao Tzu stretched his leg and tripped his son, and ran away with two melons in his hand.

When the son came home and angrily questioned his father, he said, 'I'm here to train you to run faster.'"

This is no longer enough to describe the phrase "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge".

Of course, this is just a joke metaphor, but in fact, is the reality different from this joke?

The father and son made an appointment to deal with the Zongfu together, and Zhao Hongrun worked hard, but what was the result?

Wei Tianzi got his wish and re-cut the rights of the Zongfu, and let his brother Zhao Yuanyan take over the Zongfu in the real sense, coupled with the mineral veins that those aristocratic forces were willing to contribute, this time it can be said that he took the biggest advantage.

But what did Zhao Hongrun get?

offended the elders of the original sect mansion such as the eldest uncle Zhao Tairu and the third uncle Zhao Laiyu, and was caricatured by a rumor as "deceiving the world and stealing fame" and "ambitious".

The most hateful thing is that when those patriarchs released that rumor, his father Wei Tianzi could have stopped it, but as a result, his father and emperor did nothing, but instead stretched out his leg and tripped his son.

"Erchen finally understands, why Xiong Tuo, the king of Chu Xuancheng, hates you so much for your father......

After gradually figuring out the key, Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said with a slight mockery: "But Erchen should have thought of it a long time ago." …… When cooperating with the Emperor, one should be careful. ”

Wei Tianzi didn't feel a little embarrassed, after all, thinking about it carefully, he did pit Zhao Hongrun a lot of times, every time he took advantage of it, Zhao Hongrun took the blame, even if it was like the original sacrifice ceremony, it was obviously the matter of King Yong's Hongyu pit Donggong Prince Hongli, Wei Tianzi calculated that Zhao Hongrun would not interfere in this matter, and he also taught him a lesson, so that Zhao Hongrun was burdened with the mess of the Smelting Bureau, and so far I don't know how much energy and money have been invested.

It may be that the son who saw that the authorities were fascinated for a while gradually figured out something, and after Wei Tianzi secretly said "It's a pity", Zhengse asked: "Hongrun, is my position so disdainful of you?" ”

This sentence in disguised acknowledgement of Wei Tianzi's driving force behind the rumors.

No, Zhao Hongrun, who heard the deep meaning of this sentence, suddenly turned cold, and said flatly: "Father, have you ever been out of the Vertical Arch Palace?" ”

"What?" Wei Tianzi was slightly stunned, as if he didn't understand.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun said again: "My father is only forty and four this year, but your temples are all white......"

Wei Tianzi gradually understood, frowned and said, "I don't think this is something worth criticizing. With this, in the future, when I meet my ancestors and ancestors, I can straighten my back and tell my ancestors that I, as their children and grandchildren, have not disgraced them, and I have dedicated my whole life to the society left by my ancestors! …… I'm not a faint king! ”

"And this is just the path you have chosen, Father." Pointing to the surroundings of the inner hall of the Vertical Arch Palace, Zhao Hongrun shook his head and said, "And the life that Erchen wants is by no means limited to this small Vertical Arch Palace...... The father can choose the path you want to take, but it's best not to choose the path that the son will take in the future. ”

“……”

Wei Tianzi looked at Zhao Hongrun deeply, but saw that his son's eyes were firm, and he looked at him without fear.

『…… It doesn't seem to be time yet.'"

Wei Tianzi sighed secretly.

If it had been two years ago, I am afraid that Wei Tianzi would have said, "I am your Laozi, I can do whatever I want you!" This is the case, but the result is that the father and son can only break up on the spot, and then start a new round of father-son war.

And now, as Wei Tianzi understands this son's character more and more, he will no longer use such forceful means to force his son to comply, because he has understood that forcible means will not make his son submit, but will cause a series of unnecessary disputes.

To deal with this son, you have to use a soft one.

Thinking of this, Wei Tianzi sighed and said, "Hongrun, in my Great Wei Dynasty, there has never been a prince who holds such amazing power, do you know?" Just talking about military power, you now have more military power in your hands than I have......"

"......" Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth, and the cold look on his face gradually melted.

"I have high hopes for you...... It's a pity that although I am not a faint king, I am not a qualified father. ”

"Father......" Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be a little moved, because he had never seen his father say such a "soft voice".

Seeing this, Wei Tianzi, who glanced at his son's face vividly, snorted secretly in his heart, and then sighed again: "That's it, this matter is something I don't think about." But now ......"

"Hmm......"

Zhao Hongrun frowned and thought for a moment, then seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and said: "Father, according to the original agreement, Father should hand over Shangshui County to his son, right?" ”

"Shangshui County......" Wei Tianzi was stunned, then frowned and paced a few steps in the hall, thinking and asking, "Do you want to stay away from Daliang for a while and wait for this rumor to calm down?" ”

"Exactly." Zhao Hongrun nodded, then exhaled lightly, and said: "Don't hide it from my father, in fact, my sons are also a little tired these days, and I want to breathe a sigh of relief...... I hope that my father will approve it. ”

"......" Wei Tianzi glanced at his son deeply, and then nodded unexpectedly and said, "Okay!" I've gotten this right, but on the side of the Smelting Bureau, you don't have to relax. ”

"Did you really agree?"

Zhao Hongrun looked at Wei Tianzi in surprise, and then said with a look of surprise: "Thank you, father!" …… Father and emperor rest assured, the smelting bureau is the top priority in the hearts of his sons, how can he relax? ”

Subsequently, after Wei Tianzi gave a few more instructions, Zhao Hongrun left with excitement and joy.

And when Zhao Hongrun left, Tong Xian, the great eunuch who had been silent beside him, couldn't help but ask out loud: "Your Majesty, do you really want to let King Su leave Daliang?" ”

At this time, Wei Tianzi had already changed his complexion, looked at the direction of Zhao Hongrun's departure, shook his head and said: "This son can't be forced, so he can only change his mind." ”

Tong Xian hesitated and said, "If you want King Su to change his mind, I'm afraid this will ...... Hard. ”

"Not necessarily."

Wei Tianzi narrowed his eyes and muttered.

At the same time, Zhao Hongrun had left the palace.

He did not go back to the Su Palace, but took the lead in going to the Smelting Bureau, after all, because of the matter of the Zongfu, he had not been to the Smelting Bureau since the first day of the new year, and he happened to go there today to explain this year's plan to the Bureau of Smelting and Wangfu.

Today's Smelting Bureau, it is really a lively scene, only to see the bureau, officials, clerks, craftsmen, apprentices come and go, has long since disappeared the original depressed scene.

It is no wonder that, after all, in today's Smelting Bureau, there are thousands of officials and craftsmen in the establishment alone, and if you count those craftsmen, that is, the apprentices and laborers who give the craftsmen a hand, the number is close to 10,000.

Where is this just the scale of the "Division"?

Counting the six departments and twenty-four divisions of the imperial court, how many are there in terms of scale comparable to today's smelting bureau?

In addition to the Ministry of Industry, I am afraid that there are only a few places such as the Military Casting Bureau under the Ministry of War and the Warehouse Department under the Ministry of Households.

You must know that many important "departments" such as the Anthology Division under the Ministry of Officials are actually only a few hundred people.

I have to say that looking at the people coming and going in the Smelting Bureau, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but feel a sigh: The millions of taels of silver he smashed into the Smelting Bureau finally had some gains.

"His Royal Highness King Su!"

"His Royal Highness King Su!"

In the Smelting Bureau, there are people who don't recognize Zhao Hongrun, but those who recognize Zhao Hongrun all salute the latter respectfully when they pass by, even some craftsmen who push wheelbarrows to transport raw materials also stop and salute Zhao Hongrun.

Because they all know that without His Royal Highness King Su, there would be no scenery of the smelting bureau today.

Nowadays, the officials and craftsmen of the Smelting Bureau are very dignified when they walk on Daliang Street, and the officials of the Ministry of War who used to be arrogant to them are now smiling and welcoming when they see them, even if they are just a craftsman of the Smelting Bureau.

It's no wonder, after all, the molds used by the War Casting Bureau to produce weapons are made by the Smelting Bureau, and if you make the latter unhappy, you can use the method to trick you, and those officials of the War Casting Bureau can't afford to be guilty.

In the face of the officials and craftsmen who saluted him, Zhao Hongrun also smiled and nodded in return as a gift.

Perhaps among the people, the officials of the imperial court generally do not have a high reputation, but this only refers to a small part, such as the Ministry of Officials, which was called the "head of the six departments" at the beginning, and the Ministry of Households, which later faintly wanted to catch up with and surpass the Ministry of Officials, and so on.

Many times, the people of Daliang have a bad impression of the court officials, and the fundamental reason is not how bad these officials are, but that their shelves are too high.

It's a pity that the current officials have been assigned the authority of "supervision" by the imperial history supervisor, and only the right of "recommendation" is left, and the scenery is no longer there.

However, in view of this example, Zhao Hongrun also felt that it was necessary to formulate some rules and regulations, so that the officials and craftsmen of the Smelting Bureau would gradually become as arrogant and arrogant as the original officials after raising their eyebrows.

Originally, these things were not in a hurry, after all, as long as Zhao Hongrun continued to sit in the Smelting Bureau, no one would dare to follow the old path of the Ministry of Officials and bully others, but now Zhao Hongrun is about to leave Daliang and go to Shangshui, so there are some trivial things, it is better to implement them as soon as possible.

After all, Qianlizhi was destroyed in the anthill, and the Smelting Bureau, as Zhao Hongrun's painstaking efforts, as the greatest expectation in his heart, did not want the Smelting Bureau to gradually deteriorate in the process of development and be infected with some bad official style.
