"Let's take me for a walk in the Imperial Garden. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Looking at his son, who was a little unpleasant, Wei Tianzi walked over and patted Zhao Hongrun's shoulder.

Zhao Hongrun nodded, followed behind Wei Tianzi, and came to the imperial garden that Zhao Hongrun was very familiar with.

The father and son walked in front, and the great eunuch Tong Xian and the guards followed.

Walking and walking to the fish viewing pond, Wei Tianzi glanced back at Zhao Hongrun, who was not very energetic, and quipped: "In the pond, a lot of gold scales have been paid tribute in the past two years, do you want to catch some of them in your palace?" ”

Zhao Hongrun barely squeezed out a smile, shook his head and said, "The fish pond in the palace of the prince of Erchen can't be stuffed anymore. ”

Wei Tianzi rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Everyone knows that the golden scales and tails are cherished playthings as the imperial tribute, and there are only two places in the whole Liang that form the scale of "fish", one is the imperial garden of the palace, and the other is the palace of Suwangfu.

How did the golden scale tail in King Su's mansion come from? Wei Tianzi didn't want to recall this question anymore, because his heart would hurt.

"Hongrun, I once heard that when your brothers were young, they liked to go to this imperial garden the most, right?"

After being silent for a while, Wei Tianzi was the first to ask.

Zhao Hongrun nodded.

Indeed, the imperial garden in front of him can be said to carry many of his memories: the first father-son war took place here, and Wei Tianzi was half angry at that time; met Zhao Yuanlian, the uncle of the six kings, and it was also here; Pushing the timeline forward, he and his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan also liked to wander around this imperial garden full of treasures when they were young.

In fact, the guards in the Imperial Garden were still very strict at that time, so that Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Hongxuan had to climb over the wall to get in, so they would inevitably be caught by the guards, and they were reprimanded by Concubine Shen Shufei after they went back.

"Fang Cai, I said that you are following my old path, and you don't seem to be convinced?" Wei Tianzi turned his head and glanced at Zhao Hongrun.

Zhao Hongrun pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically: "Father, do you think that the Northern First Army can still be saved?" ”

Wei Tianzi shook his head, and said with a straight face: "In my opinion, I have no objection to banning the name of this army. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun frowned and said, "Since this is the case, you ...... father."

As soon as he said this, he saw Wei Tianzi raise his hand to interrupt him, and Zhengse said: "Hongrun, you must know that Fang Cai's evaluation is just my opinion, and it does not represent Hongxuan, do you understand?" …… Hongxuan's character is as stubborn and strong as you, because he has an equally stubborn and strong brother. …… In fact, when Hongli and Hongxuan were in Northern Xinjiang, Li Cheng more or less mentioned to me that the prince was because of his limited talent and lack of courage, while Hongxuan was a soft-spoken person, and without the support of the prince, no one in the Northern First Army would obey him. …… This person, after trying his best, still encounters failure, although he is unwilling, he will still accept it, but if for some reason, he cannot do his best to meet the failure, this person will not be willing to accept it. ”

After a pause, Wei Tianzi asked Zhao Hongrun: "Do you think that the inaction of the Northern First Army in Northern Xinjiang is because of the problem of Hongxuan's talent?" I don't think so. If he had led an elite army like the Shangshui Army and the Yanling Army under your command at that time, even if the results were far inferior to yours, it would not have been so bad. …… Right? ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun nodded, and then said with a straight face: "Because of this, Erchen doesn't want Hongxuan to continue to stay in the Northern First Army......"

"But he didn't listen to you, did he?" Glancing at Zhao Hongrun, Wei Tianzi said with a smile: "Just like you didn't listen to me back then, you used more than 20,000 Junshui troops to resist the 160,000 troops of Xucheng Jun Xiong Tuo. ”

"Erchen was sure at that time!" Zhao Hongrun frowned and said: "The Junshui Army is an elite division that is good at fighting, and the 160,000 troops under the command of Xiong Tuo, the Junxiong Tuo of Xuancheng at that time, are just temporary recruited peasant soldiers before the war...... Therefore, winning is not a problem, it is a question of how to reduce our losses. ”

Wei Tianzi said with a smile: "You are right, at that time, the Ministry of War only wanted to sue for peace because at that time, my Great Wei only had a total of 80,000 troops available for conquest, and if one or two thousand were lost in a battle, the consequences would be even worse...... And now, I have 400,000 troops in Great Wei that can be used for conquest, and I don't really care if there is a Northern First Army or not. …… If he does a good job, it is good, but it doesn't matter vice versa. ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun was silent.

In fact, he didn't care, what he cared about was the relationship between the Northern First Army and the East Palace, and he didn't want his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan to be labeled as the East Palace Party.

But it backfired, just two days ago, that is, in the recent quarrel, Zhao Hongxuan expressed his attitude for the first time, his words were full of sympathy for the East Palace and disgust and hostility towards King Yong, saying that King Yong only knew how to play conspiracy, and even accused him, who was a brother, of not helping King Yong.

At that time, Zhao Hongrun was angry on the spot, and the brothers broke up unhappily.

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun's face was not good, Wei Tianzi calmly persuaded: "'Don't impose your own ideas on him in the name of anyone's good', this is what you once said to me, right?" …… How did you end up following my old path? ”

“……”

"Let Hongxuan decide for himself, whether he succeeds or fails, it is his own choice." As he spoke, Wei Tianzi patted Zhao Hongrun's arm and said with a smile: "It is precisely because of my acquiescence at the beginning that there is today's famous King Su, isn't it?" ”

Zhao Hongrun thought for a moment, then pouted and said, "I told him two days ago, and I won't bother to care about him in the future." ”

Hearing this, Wei Tianzi smiled slightly, diverted the topic and said, "Okay, this topic is over, I finally got free time, let's take a break with me." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun glanced at Wei Tianzi suspiciously, after all, it was hard for him to imagine that the father in front of him, who had been working hard for twenty years, had actually learned to be lazy, and threw the matter of reviewing the recitals in the Vertical Arch Hall to King Yong.

However, when he saw Wei Tianzi's gray temples, Zhao Hongrun also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Maybe the father in front of him has done a lot of dishonorable things, but it is undeniable that this is a Ming monarch who has worked hard for the Wei State.

Therefore, he sighed: "Father and Emperor should indeed rest......"

Maybe he didn't expect this bad guy in front of him to say such warm words, Wei Tianzi was stunned for a moment, his expression was a little moved, as if he had seen a ghost in the daytime, and looked at Zhao Hongrun with wide eyes.

And just when Zhao Hong was about to open his mouth angrily, he heard Wei Tianzi let out a long breath and said quite seriously: "Now is not the time to rest, I still have a matter on my mind." ”

"What's on your mind?" Zhao Hongrun thought for a moment, and said tentatively: "The remnants of the Xiao family? ”

Wei Tianzi glanced at Zhao Hongrun, although he didn't answer, his expression had already acquiesced to the matter.

Suddenly, Wei Tianzi seemed to see something, bared his teeth, and frowned.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun glanced up at the distance, and then saw that in the distance, Concubine Shi was slowly coming towards this side surrounded by several palace maids.

Shi Guifei, the mother of Yongwang Hongyu, is a very attractive woman, because of her beauty skills, she looks like she is in her thirties, which makes people completely unthinkable that her son Yongwang Hongyu is already almost thirty years old.

"Your Majesty."

With a seductive call, Concubine Shi Yingying walked in front of Wei Tianzi, her eyes were full of affection, and she said happily like a little woman: "How can you have Yaxing here today?" Fang Caichen's concubine listened to a few little fathers-in-law, and thought they were talking nonsense......"

"Ahh Wei Tianzi replied solemnly, then smiled reluctantly, and said, "Today, Hongrun entered the palace, and I asked him to accompany him to relax." ”

"Oh." Shi Guifei nodded, then turned her head to look at Zhao Hongrun, and greeted affectionately: "The little bully who was once feared by everyone in the palace has gradually grown up, and he looks so handsome, tsk, I don't know how many daughters of the family will be fascinated in the future......"

Zhao Hongrun smiled bitterly to himself, and bowed his hand and said, "The concubine has said it." ”

"What is the name of the concubine Niangniang, such a birth, the concubine heard that you have a good relationship with Hongyu, if you don't dislike it, just call your aunt." Shi Guifei said with a smile.

Zhao Hongrun quietly exchanged a look with Wei Tianzi, and arched his hand: "Hongrun has seen my aunt." ”

"It's really well-behaved and smart...... Shi Guifei smiled on her face, and spared no effort to praise Zhao Hongrun: "At the beginning, the concubine felt that Run'er, this child, would definitely have a future in the future, look at it now, ......"

Listening to Shi Guifei's praise, Zhao Hongrun secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

In fact, he and this Shi Guifei don't see each other a few times a year, and Shi Guifei and Shen Shufei don't have any friendship.

I remember that three or four years ago, Concubine Shen Shu, Zhao Hongrun, and Zhao Hongxuan's mother and son were still marginal figures in the palace, just like transparent people, and I didn't see how much care this Shi Guifei cared for at that time.

Maybe a few years ago, Concubine Shi Guifei saw Concubine Shen Shu, Zhao Hongrun, and Zhao Hongxuan's mother and son in the palace, and she might not have looked at it with her eyes.

However, since the other party is smiling at each other today, Zhao Hongrun is polite, and it is not too rude.

"Ahem." Wei Tianzi coughed and said, "Concubine Shi, I still have something to tell Hongrun, you see ......"

"Oooh." Concubine Shi understood and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, the concubine will not bother." …… By the way, today's concubine made some pastries with her own hands, if Your Majesty and Run'er are hungry, you might as well take some time to use some when you are relaxing......"

As she spoke, a maid behind her handed over a basket of pastries.

Seeing this, the old eunuch Tong Xian took two steps forward and took the basket.

However, after giving away the pastries, Shi Guifei was still not in a hurry to leave, and threw a flattering look at Wei Tianzi, and said tiredly: "Your Majesty, I don't know if Your Majesty will come to stay in the concubine's 'Splendid Palace' tonight, the concubine and the two girls think about Your Majesty day and night......

"Huh!"

Zhao Hongrun glanced at the two young palace maids behind Shi Guifei who instantly turned red and lowered their heads, and glanced at Wei Tianzi with a strange expression.

At this time, Wei Tianzi's whole face darkened, and he coughed and said, "Concubine Shi, Hongrun is still here!" ”

"Run'er is not a child, she has long been a man who stands up to the sky, don't worry." Shi Guifei looked at Wei Tianzi directly.

Seeing this, Wei Tianzi had no choice but to nod and promise, and then sent the satisfied Concubine Shi away.

After waiting for Shi Guifei to leave, Wei Tianzi shook his head, and then pouted at Shi Guifei's back, and asked Zhao Hongrun, "Hongrun, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Wei Tianzi, and said with a smile: "It's enough, father, it's almost half a hundred, and you can still have three daughters for one night, two of them are not much older than your sons, no wonder the dragon body is not safe...... Tsk tsk. ”

"Bastard! I didn't ask you this! ”

Wei Tianzi scolded with a dark face, but no matter how he listened, he was a little weak. (To be continued.) )
