Chapter 333.5: Autumn Hunting

"PS: I got the wrong chapter name yesterday, forgive me."

β€”β€”β€”β€” the following textβ€”β€”β€”β€”

By the time it was July, the news about the "Chenggao Hunting" had finally come out, but the news announced by the imperial court was that Wei Tianzi was going to hunt again, and concealed the real location of the hunt and the fact that he was preparing to negotiate with Yin Rong during the autumn hunt.

For example, Zhao Hongrun's imperial sister Princess Yulong, and his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, many people only think that this is just a hunting entertainment like in previous years, and only a few people know the real intention behind this autumn hunt.

Because the news was announced that it was a royal hunt, there were many people who were very enthusiastic about it.

For example, Zhao Hongrun's younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, this kid slipped out of the palace early in the morning with great interest, ran to Zhao Hongrun's Suwang Mansion and dragged him from the bed who was still sleeping.

"Brother, how about we try it in this hunt?"

"What are you trying to do?" Zhao Hongrun, who had not woken up yet, looked inexplicable.

It wasn't until Zhao Hongxuan explained to Zhao Hongrun with great interest that Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized that his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan was also on the list of this autumn hunt.

To be honest, this is quite incredible, after all, Zhao Hongrun's younger brother Zhao Hongxuan is still a prince who has not left the palace, and belongs to a "minor" who has not yet been allowed to own a "family business", so it stands to reason that he will not be allowed to participate in hunting.

After all, it is autumn hunting, this season is the season when wild beasts are crazy to eat and raise fat for the winter, the appearance rate of wild beasts is the highest, and there is a certain danger, therefore, underage princes like Zhao Hongxuan are generally not allowed to participate.

For example, last year's Zhao Hongrun. Oh no, at this time last year, Zhao Hongrun was leading the soldiers of the Junshui Battalion to fight against the army of Xiong Tuo, the king of Chu Xuancheng, and the Wei State had also canceled the hunting activities of the year, so it should be pushed forward. For example, Zhao Hongrun at the age of thirteen, Zhao Hongrun at the age of twelve.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Hongrun has grown so big, he has only seen the hunting team from afar, and has never experienced it himself.

"What to try? Of course, it's to see who hunts more prey! ”

Zhao Hongxuan said dissatisfiedly with a flat mouth, but then he became happy again.

Looking at his joyful appearance, Zhao Hongrun really didn't want to hit him: even if your father allowed you to participate in the autumn hunt, most of them would not allow you to take your guards to hunt alone.

Sure enough, it was the day of the official hunt on the fifth of July. Zhao Hongxuan, who had been in high spirits all day long two days ago, sat on the dragon chariot of his father, Emperor Wei Tianzi, with his head drooping, and looked at his brothers who were qualified to hunt alone with their respective sect guards, including his elder brother Zhao Hongrun.

"Wow, what a strong resentment......

During this period, Zhao Hongrun secretly glanced at his younger brother, only to feel that his younger brother, who didn't know what to whisper, looked like himself who had been excluded from the hunting list.

"Because they're brothers. So it's like?'

Zhao Hongrun touched his chin, probably because of the change in mentality. He felt that his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, or the former him, felt really funny.

Well, it's childish.

The hunting team gathered in the western suburbs of Daliang City, and then slowly marched in the direction of Zhongmu.

I have to say that this team is really huge. It was full of thousands of people.

"Where are so many people?"

Zhao Hongrun looked at his team in surprise.

After all, he used to think that the so-called autumn hunt was at most his father and emperor with Donggong, King Yong and a few of his Zhao Hongrun's brothers, at best, plus a few important ministers in the court, nothing more.

But as it turned out, the size of the team. Far more than he could have imagined.

No, in addition to his father and the prince of the East Palace, Hongli, Yongwang Hongyu, Xiangwang Hongjing, Suwang Hongrun, and the seventh son of the emperor Hongyin, the ninth son of the emperor Hongxuan, these familiar faces, even his second uncle Zhao Hongrun, Zongzheng Zhao Yuanyan of the Zongfu, also took his three sons to ride horses in the team, and among his sons, there was his cousin Zhao Hongmin, who had brought Zhao Hongrun to the Zongfu twice.

"His Royal Highness King Su."

A light call made Zhao Hongrun subconsciously turn his head, and he was surprised to find that the people who greeted him were Lin Yuyang, the Zhongshu Ling of the Vertical Arch Palace, and Yu Ziqi, the Zhongshu Zuochen.

"The two of you are going together?" Zhao Hongrun's eyes widened in surprise.

It's not that he looks down on these two ministers of the Vertical Arch Palace, in fact, the rank of these two is not inferior to the six Shangshu, Zhao Hongrun just wondered, Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi are both civil officials, how can they be in the hunting team?

Fortunately, Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi had long been familiar with His Royal Highness King Su, and they didn't care about his words that were not very polite, and explained with a smile: "Your Majesty is benevolent, and I am specially allowed to go out of the city with the team to relax." ”

"I see." Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that these two were dressed in civilian clothes, and they didn't bring any bows and crossbows for hunting, so they were purely here to be spectators.

"By the way, why don't you see Lord Feng?" Zhao Hongrun looked curiously, because he found that Feng Yu, the right man of the middle book, did not seem to be traveling with Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi.

Hearing this, Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi glanced at each other and smiled a little weirdly.

Immediately, Yu Ziqi smiled and said: "You have to leave someone in the Vertical Arch Palace, Lord Feng understands the righteousness and takes the initiative to stay ......"

"Ahh......h

The corners of Zhao Hongrun's eyes twitched slightly.

may have noticed Zhao Hongrun's strange eyes, Lin Yuyang coughed, and said: "This is tradition, Your Highness, Xiaguan and Ziqi all came over like this." ”

Indeed, bullying newcomers, no, it should be to teach newcomers to behave in a proper manner, which is a common thing in the official career, and it is understandable.

After all, Wei is very particular about qualifications, for example, even if Yu Ziqi, the left Cheng of Zhongshu, is actually the same rank as Feng Yu, the right Cheng of Zhongshu, but it is undeniable that Yu Ziqi is Feng Yu's predecessor, and Feng Yu must give Yu Ziqi enough respect.

This custom is especially common in the Ministry of Industry and the Smelting Bureau, which are strict ministries and departments.

For example, Wang Fu of the Smelting Bureau, because his qualifications in the Smelting Bureau are only eight years, so he is not easy to scold at will when facing Chen Tang, a Lang official with more than 20 years of experience, after all, from a certain point of view, Chen Tang is Wang Fu's predecessor.

Greeting each other, the three of them rode their horses and slowly followed the team forward.

During this period, Yu Ziqi asked curiously: "It seems that His Royal Highness King Qing is not in the team?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun nodded and added in a low voice: "The third uncle of this king...... The king of Nanliang was also not there. ”

Indeed, this discovery Zhao Hongrun has repeatedly confirmed that his third Bonan Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo and his fifth royal brother Qing Wang Hongxin are not in the hunting team out of the city this time.

If Zhao Hongrun guessed correctly, these two should still be in the Yushui camp in the southeast of Daliang City, training the new army.

"Note: Regarding the number of new army bugs, I miscalculated in the first few chapters, so I'm really sorry. Here, it is changed to: From the county seat in the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty, 100 to 300 people will be drawn according to the size of the county, and the number will be 50,000."

And Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi are both the ministers of the Vertical Arch Palace, and naturally they also understand why Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Zhao Hongxin, the king of Qing, are not in the hunting team that went out this time, so they nodded knowingly.

"Speaking ......"

During this period, Zhao Hongrun pointed to some people in the team and asked in a low voice: "Two adults, who are those?" This king looks good and is eye-catching. ”

Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi looked back a few times, and then told Zhao Hongrun that those were the people who were related to the royal family in Daliang City, that is, the so-called royal relatives.

"So many people?" Zhao Hongrun was shocked when he heard this, after all, he didn't pay much attention to those people in the past, so much so that he felt as if those people had jumped out of thin air, which made him feel very abrupt.

At this time, Yu Ziqi was a little sarcastic, and whispered to Zhao Hongrun: "What's more, it's to get a little bit of royal spirit......

"A little bit of royalty? What is this saying?'

Zhao Hongrun felt a little inexplicable, until Yu Ziqi intentionally or unintentionally pointed to Wei Tianzi's dragon chariot, and he suddenly realized: It turned out that those were speculators who hoped to get some gifts and benefits from Wei Tianzi's side...... No, it's the Clan.

The three of them chatted for a while, and at this time, Zhao Hongrun's sixth uncle, Zhao Yuanyan, rushed up from the back of the team with his sect guards.

Seeing this, Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi knew each other very well and left.

Looking at the background of Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi, Zhao Yuanli teased with some surprise: "Hongrun, you have a lot of connections, even the minister of the Chinese book of the Vertical Arch Hall is ......."

"It's just acquaintance." Zhao Hongrun explained with a smile.

To be honest, his friendship with Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi is just a gentleman's friendship, and he has not participated in the slightest interest.

In his opinion, such a friendship can be called a friend. And there are not many such friends, Zhao Hongrun is not many, and there are only a few of them, such as Meng Kui, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry.

"That's the Minister of the Chinese Book......

Zhao Yuanyan looked at this nephew with quite strange eyes, after all, as far as he knew, it seemed that the East Palace, King Yong, and King Xiang had made a lot of effort to win over Lin Yuyang, the Zhongshu Ling of the Vertical Gong Palace, and Yu Ziqi, the Zhongshu Zuo, after all, these two were quite "useful" connections.

However, when he thought that this nephew, like himself, was not interested in the throne, Zhao Yuanyan suddenly realized: Maybe it is precisely because of this that Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi, the two ministers of Chinese calligraphy, will look at him differently and be willing to walk around with him.

"Well, it's better to live an easy life."

Zhao Yuanling smiled and nodded.

"Huh?" Zhao Hongrun glanced at this Sixth Uncle inexplicably.

"Haha, let's not talk about this for now, let the sixth uncle take a look at your team."

After that, Zhao Yuanling looked back at Zhao Hongrun's back, looked at Zongwei Shen Yu and the others who were carrying bows and crossbows and nodded, but when he saw that the two sisters Mi Jiang and Mi Rui were also in Zongwei's team, his expression became a little subtle.

However, this is nothing, what made his expression change significantly was Princess Yulong, who was mixed in the Zongwei and was talking quietly with Mi Rui.

"Hongrun, what are you bringing her here for?"

Zhao Yuanli frowned and asked. (To be continued.) )
