After returning to Daliang, Zhao Hongrun separated from Zhao Yuanyan, the uncle of the six princes, after all, the entertainment of the uncle of the six princes was very busy, and tonight there was a very rich son in law of the family who invited this prince Yi to a banquet.
The Hundred Chicken Banquet, or the Hundred Ji Banquet, think about it carefully, Zhao Hongrun feels that it should be the latter.
"It's extravagant......"
Zhao Hongrun mocked a little sourly.
Zhao Yuanyan laughed when he heard this, and joked: "Otherwise, Hongrun will go with the sixth uncle?" …… can climb to the dignified king, I believe that the master of the family will be happy. ”
I have to say that this is a rather tempting invitation, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Hongrun politely declined.
After all, the aristocratic circle that intersected with his sixth uncle Zhao Yuanyan was what he Zhao Hongrun planned to weaken in the future, if he went with Zhao Yuanyan today, it would be no surprise that the owner of the family would definitely be hospitable, so Zhao Hongrun might not be able to bear to do it in the future.
In order not to make himself feel guilty when weakening those people in the future, Zhao Hongrun tried not to contact them.
In fact, before and after Zhao Hongrun left the pavilion, there were no clans in Daliang City who came to congratulate, but Zhao Hongrun didn't want to have any contact with these people, so he returned all the gifts.
Over time, "King Su is not easy to get along" has become a common understanding in the aristocratic circle in Beijing, and gradually, no one is looking for boring.
And unlike Zhao Hongrun's attitude to life, his sixth uncle Zhao Yuanyan often does not refuse this kind of thing, therefore. Don't look at this Uncle Wang has almost no rights in the court, but his connections are amazing, whether it is a close friend or a fox friend and dog friend, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can be called all over the country.
After bidding farewell to Zhao Yuanlian, the uncle of the six kings, Zhao Hongrun habitually wanted to sit in the smelting bureau, but he thought about it carefully. He gave up on it.
After all, at the moment, he has to play the image of the "angry King Su", otherwise, how can the people from the War Casting Bureau and even the Ministry of War take the bait?
Don't you want my Smelting Bureau and the Ministry of War to get involved in the casting of weapons, then my Smelting Bureau will simply quit and you can play by yourself! Anyway, at the end of this year, you didn't finish casting those 130,000 sets of weapons and equipment, and you were the ones who were trained and punished.
What the? Your military department and the military casting bureau invited me to cast that batch of weapons and equipment together?
I'm sorry, but once we withdraw, we won't be involved anymore.
What the? Apologize?
Apologize is useful, then it needs to be ...... Not. In short, your apology, our Metallurgical Bureau does not accept it, send off!
All in all, Zhao Hongrun has made up his mind to pay attention, and he will ask the grandsons of the military department to ask grandpa to tell grandma to invite them back to the smelting bureau with great fanfare.
After all, as Zhao Yuanlian, the uncle of the six kings, said, it is impossible to build 130,000 sets of weapons and equipment within the time limit with a single military casting bureau. Zhao Hongrun has the chance to win this matter, and there is no need to worry at all.
Don't look at him before the smelting bureau took the initiative to quit. However, as long as the Ordnance Bureau recognizes their current situation, they will be cheeky enough to seek the help of the Smelting Bureau, and may even give generous compensation.
This is called retreating for advance, wanting to capture and indulge.
In this matter, I have to say that Wei Tianzi's way of doing things is much more clever than that of Zhao Hongrun.
However, it can also be seen from this that Wei Tianzi's education method. It is very different from Zhao Hongrun's sixth uncle Zhao Yuanyan.
For example, Zhao Yuanli will carefully analyze the pros and cons for Zhao Hongrun, so that Zhao Hongrun is convinced, and Wei Tianzi's education method is that he took the initiative to arrange everything for Zhao Hongrun. But he won't tell Zhao Hongrun in person, he will let Zhao Hongrun understand it himself.
"Really...... Will you die if you explain a few words?'
Zhao Hongrun muttered in his heart.
However, Zhao Hongrun also faintly realized in his heart: it seems that since he defeated the 160,000 army of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, and won the "agreement between men and men" with Wei Tianzi in a dignified manner, his father Wei Tianzi's requirements for him are much higher than before.
For example, the ritual of worshipping the heavens.
It is very likely that Wei Tianzi gradually regarded his son Zhao Hongrun as an "adult", rather than just a "naughty boy" as before, so the way he treats Zhao Hongrun and his expectations have changed significantly compared with the past.
This is also the reason why Zhao Hongrun feels that it is too "cheap" to pull down his face and mess around with Wei Tianzi now.
There are pros and cons to this form of change, the advantage is that Zhao Hongrun now said that Wei Tianzi will pay more attention to the suggestions put forward and trust this son more; And the disadvantage is that if Zhao Hongrun can't keep up with Wei Tianzi's rhythm, something like this one will happen again: it is clear that Wei Tianzi is secretly helping, but Zhao Hongrun is misunderstanding because he only focuses on the superficial phenomenon.
"Today, why don't you go to Ningxiang Palace and sit down......
A thought jumped out of Zhao Hongrun's heart, after all, his father would also go to Ningxiang Palace from time to time to eat, maybe he would run into him.
So, Zhao Hongrun changed his itinerary, did not return to the Su Palace, and went straight to the palace.
Before leaving, he sent Zongwei Mu Qing to the Smelting Bureau and informed Wang Fu, the director of the Smelting Bureau: In the next few days, all the requests for the Bing Casting Bureau were refused! And there's no need to give those guys a good look.
Wang Fu is a smart person, he should be able to accurately grasp Zhao Hongrun's meaning, and Zhao Hongrun is still more relieved of this.
In short, if you don't slaughter the military casting bureau and even the military department, I'm really sorry for myself, I'm sorry for Zhao Yuanling, the sixth uncle who solved his doubts for Zhao Hongrun, and I'm sorry for Wei Tianzi who secretly helped him.
When he took Shen Yu, Gao Kuo and other guards to the south gate of the palace, Zhao Hongrun was surprised to find that the dilapidated carriage of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Sanbo Nanliang, that he had just seen in Shili Pavilion, was parked outside the palace gate at this moment.
This discovery made Zhao Hongrun's heart move slightly.
In fact, his third uncle, Zhao Yuanzuo, used to have a palace in Daliang, but it is said that the palace has been banned.
But even so, the third uncle's family of three also has a place to live in Daliang.
Of course, not in a post house in the city. It's in the Jongfu.
However, the carriage of the third uncle Zhao Yuanzuo appeared outside the palace gate at this moment, which meant that Zhao Hongrun and his father summoned the former third prince brother, which made the gossip fire in Zhao Hongrun's heart suddenly burn.
After all, that's the third uncle. It's the third uncle who once had a civil war-level conflict with his father when he was fighting for the throne.
"After seventeen years, I don't know how my father will feel when he sees the third uncle who once competed with him for the throne again."
Slowing down the speed of his mount, Zhao Hongrun slowly stopped outside the palace gate.
It's a pity that even he is not qualified to ride directly into the palace now.
"His Royal Highness King Su!"
Guarding the palace gate in the south of the palace is still Jin Ju, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and he and Zhao Hongrun are familiar faces to each other, therefore. When Zhao Hongrun rode his horse to the gate of the palace, the commander of the Praetorian Guard took the initiative to greet him.
"Commander Jin."
Zhao Hongrun turned over and dismounted, and saluted Jin Ju.
Immediately, he quietly glanced at the dilapidated carriage of his third uncle, Zhao Yuanzuo, and asked with a smile: "Commander Jin, Fang Cai, there is an incredible big man who has entered the palace, right?" ”
"......" Jin Ju was stunned, and said with an inexplicable expression: "What did His Royal Highness King Su say?" The last general does not understand. …… The last general has been on duty here, and he has never seen any big people referred to by His Royal Highness King Su? ”
"This guy ......"
Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes. If he hadn't had a deep impression of the dilapidated carriage, I'm afraid he would have been deceived by Jin Ju.
"The king is referring to the owner of the carriage." He glanced at Jin Ju, who was pretending to be stupid, and said angrily: "Don't hide it from Commander Jin, just this king and the sixth uncle of this king, just meet that ...... in the Shili Pavilion outside the city."
Jin Ju had a somewhat unnatural and strange look on his face, but he still didn't seem to plan to give up. With an innocent face, he said, "The last general really doesn't know who you are referring to, Your Royal Highness King Su. ”
Zhao Hongrun felt that he was really about to roll his eyes, shook his head and helplessly made his words clear: "King Nanliang!" ”
“……”
Hearing this, Jin Ju suddenly showed an extremely embarrassed expression, looked at Zhao Hongrun in a sneer, and only apologized in a low voice for a long time: "His Royal Highness King Su is not strange. It is really a matter of great concern, the last general ......" Speaking of this, in order to prove the credibility of his words, he lowered his voice and revealed: "Your Highness, do you know who is here to greet that one?" ”
Seeing that Jin Ju's expression was very strange, Zhao Hongrun asked curiously, "Could it be the East Palace?" ”
"It is the leader of the President of the Three Guards...... Lord Lee! ”
"Who's that?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned and asked in surprise.
"......" Jin Ju stared at Zhao Hongrun with wide eyes, and then explained in a low voice to His Royal Highness King Su.
It turns out that the "Presidential Leader of the Three Guards" refers to the general of the three Great Liang Jing Divisions, "Bingwei", "Praetorian Guard", and "Lang Wei", and is the top boss of Jin Ju, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Zhou Ji, the commander of the Lang Guard, and others, Li Cheng.
According to Jin Ju's vague revelation, Li Cheng, together with Bailiba, Xu Yin, Sima An and others, was the Zongwei during the period of the Emperor of Wei Tianzi, and this person was the head of the Zongwei, which was equivalent to Shen Yu's status beside Zhao Hongrun.
It is no exaggeration to say that Li Cheng controlled the military forces near Daliang for Wei Tianzi, and was a big man who was not the general of the sixth battalion of the garrison, but the power in his hands was greater than those generals.
"There is still a patriarch in the palace who was a prince and a prince?"
Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, but if he thought about it carefully, it was not surprising, after all, such an important position as the 'Presidential Leader of the Three Guards' naturally had to be reserved for the most trusted Zong Wei.
If Zhao Hongrun gains power one day, he will also hand over the most important position to his most trusted sect guard chief Shen Yu, on the other hand, this is also the rush of all sect guards.
This is the foundation of the patriarchal system, and it is a natural thing.
However, the "Presidential Leader of the Three Guards" Li Cheng personally greeted Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, at the gate of the palace, what does this mean?
Zhao Hongrun felt that the fire of gossip in his heart was burning more and more.
"Would you like to take a peek?"
Zhao Hongrun licked his lips, quite a little impatient.
