In the next few days, Zhao Hongrun really went to Ningxiang Palace every day to accompany his mother and tell her about the beautiful scenery of Shangshui County, only to hear Shen Shufei happy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

During this period, Zhao Hongrun intentionally or unintentionally mentioned things like "Xiao Xuan is also fifteen" and "he is also an adult", although the effect does not seem to be very good, but Zhao Hongrun is not discouraged and continues to pit his younger brother.

After all, only when his younger brother Hongxuan falls into the pit, he can have a good life.

It's a pity that Concubine Shen Shu is also an old man in the palace after all, where can she not see through the eldest son's mind, seeing that Zhao Hongrun pushed his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan out as a shield three times and twice, and finally one day couldn't help but point his finger on the eldest son's forehead, and said angrily: "You little slippery head." …… You are a brother, he is a brother, the elder and the young are orderly, how can you mess up the order? ”

Zhao Hongrun heard the words and said: "Mother, the word "young and old" is not used here...... Didn't the child say, mother, don't you think Xiao Xuan's temperament is a little too introverted? The child thinks that if you don't give Zhang Luo Luo, I'm afraid ...... Well, there will be no results in a few more years. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Shen Shufei was slightly concerned, after all, her two sons, the eldest son Zhao Hongrun, really didn't have to worry about her, as a prince who had just come out of the cabinet, she dared to take the guards to visit Fireworks Willow Lane, which was the first in history.

In contrast, the youngest son Zhao Hongxuan's personality is more introverted, introverted and shy, and his personality is diametrically opposed to his brother's, making it hard to believe that the brothers have lived under the same roof since childhood.

"My mother is afraid that it is not suitable to pick the land, and when I look back, Hongxuan is not satisfied, and complains about being a mother's ......" Shen Shufei said with some worry, after all, the eldest son Zhao Hongrun is a typical example of strong resistance to marriage, and he once almost turned against Wei Tianzi for this.

"Then set up a side room first and let Xiao Xuan pick it himself. …… Hasn't this always been the case? Zhao Hongrun said ill-intentionedly.

Shen Shufei was thoughtful.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun smiled and secretly laughed.

Although Concubine Shen didn't directly agree with his words, she was a little moved, and that was enough.

After all, Zhao Hongrun's purpose was just for Shen Shufei's attention to be diverted to Zhao Hongxuan's side.

As for the opinion of his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, the unscrupulous elder brother, who didn't know how many times he had cheated his younger brother since he was a child, said that it was not a problem at all.

Anyway, according to Zhao Hongxuan's character, as long as Concubine Shen Shufei mentioned this matter to him, that kid would be blushing and couldn't say anything.

As long as you can survive this month and survive until Zhao Hongrun leads the army to attack Chu, aha, it will be delayed for another year.

Of course, because this trick Shui Dongyin was too untechnical, so that when Concubine Shen Shu vaguely proposed this matter to Zhao Hongxuan that night, Zhao Hongxuan gritted his teeth and looked at his brother with resentful and tragic eyes.

It's a pity that such days didn't last long, after all, Tian You, the envoy of the Qi State, ran to the Ministry of Rites again and again in the past two days, which made Du Youshen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, very annoyed.

Du Youxin said: This matter has obviously been handed over to King Su, why are you running to me?

So three days later, Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was really annoyed, and Zheng'er Bajing wrote an official letter to Tian You, the envoy of Qi, and asked the latter to take this thing to Suwang's mansion.

In fact, before this, Qi envoy Tian Yu had also heard some rumors, and had already sent a letter of worship to King Su's Mansion, but he had never received a response.

Why? Because Zhao Hongrun wanted to accompany Concubine Shen Shu more in the past two days, he deliberately asked the people in King Su's mansion to suppress and not return.

But this time, Qi envoy Tian Yu came with the official document of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhao Hongrun was not good at slacking off, after all, the former was a private visit, while the latter was a recommendation from the imperial court, and the meaning was different.

Therefore, after greeting Concubine Shen Shu early, on the sixth day of the seventh month, Zhao Hongrun did not go to the Ningxiang Palace in the palace again, but met with Tian Yu, the envoy of the Qi State, in the Su Palace.

On the same day, Qi envoy Tian Yu came to King Su's Mansion as agreed, and under the leadership of Zongwei Mu Qing, he came to the hall of the north house in the mansion.

It can be seen that the envoy of Qi has some opinions on Zhao Hongrun in his heart, so that after the two salute each other, the envoy of Qi said with a bit of sarcasm: "It's really difficult to see King Su......

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly, and was not angry.

After all, in the final analysis, this incident is indeed his faux pas, and he has let the other party eat the closed door several times, and it is not easy for anyone to change it.

"Thank you for your understanding. …… The king was not in Daliang some time ago, and the mother was separated for half a year, and after returning to Daliang in recent days, he also wanted to do his filial piety, and wanted to accompany his mother more. ”

Hearing Zhao Hongrun say it so sincerely, Qi made Tian Yu's heart dissipate, after all, "loyalty and filial piety" has been an excellent character respected by the Central Plains country since ancient times, even if he was dissatisfied in his heart, he couldn't grasp this accusation.

What's more, Zhao Hongrun's sincere and simple words really made Qi envoy Tian Yu have a good impression of him.

"His Royal Highness King Su is loyal to the country and filial piety, and Tian can only admire."

To be honest, is Zhao Hongrun really just because he wants to accompany Concubine Shen Shu?

In fact, it is true that I want to accompany Concubine Shen Shu, but I want to dry Tian Yu, which is also true.

In the final analysis, Zhao Hongrun was actually not inclined to assist the Qi State in its crusade against the Chu State, because he felt that their Wei State had not made many big moves in the past two years, one attack on the Chu State and the second attack on the Sanchuan State, which consumed a lot of the national strength of the Wei State.

What good can it do to attack the state of Chu now?

Although the territory of Chu is vast, Zhao Hongrun used to be very blushing, but the problem is that the entire territory of the Song State that was swallowed more than ten years ago has not yet been digested by the Wei State, so how can they have the confidence to worry about the territory of the Chu State?

Therefore, in Zhao Hongrun's heart, unless it was to destroy the Chu State in one fell swoop so that the Wei State could eliminate a huge threat in the south, he easily did not want to anger this huge country.

The national population of Wei is probably less than seven million, while the population of Chu is roughly estimated to be four times that of Wei.

It's a pity that the "Qilu and Wei Three Kingdoms" has already been announced to the world, unless Wei is willing to be accused of treachery by the people of the world, otherwise, it will be impossible to withdraw from this matter.

Of course, it's not entirely without opportunities.

For example, if at this moment, the king of Qi, Lu Xi, suddenly dies violently, and the Qi country falls into civil strife in the seizure of power, then the matter of the Three Kingdoms attacking Chu will naturally be over, and the big deal is that Zhao Hongrun Chu soldiers will threaten the Chu State and indirectly help the Qi State share part of the threat from the Chu State, which is better than taking tens of thousands of troops to fight to the death with the Chu State.

But unfortunately, Zhao Hongrun has not received any rumors about the violent death of Lu Xi, the king of Qi.

"His Royal Highness King Su, I believe in the covenant between my Great Qi and your country, His Royal Highness King Su should have heard of it......"

When Zhao Hongrun was in a state of cranky thoughts, Qi envoy Tian Yu Balabala began to talk about Zhao Hongrun.

Although Zhao Hongrun didn't listen to a few words of these words, the general meaning, the latter can still guess the general meaning, and it can be summed up in nothing more than one sentence: Wei State, when will the army be dispatched?

"Well......" When Qi envoy Tian Yu finished speaking, Zhao Hongrun let out a long breath and said in an official tone: "This matter is not easy to do." ”

Hearing this, Qi envoy Tian Yu's face was slightly ugly, and he reminded with some displeasure: "His Royal Highness King Su, 'Qilu and Wei Three Kingdoms', that is already ......."

"Your envoy has misunderstood, this king didn't mean that." Waving his hand to interrupt Qi envoy Tian Yu's words, Zhao Hongrun Zhengse said: "This king just thinks ...... By the way, has your country recently reduced the heavy troops of Chen Bing on the border between Qi and South Korea? ”

Qi made Tian Yu stunned, touched a pinch of mustache on his chin, and did not speak.

And Zhao Hongrun didn't pay attention to the Qi envoy Tian Yu, and still said to himself: "Don't hide it from the envoy, at the beginning of this year, the northern South Korea began to gather cavalry troops in the two passes of Tianmen and Mengmen, with an army of up to 100,000 ......

Speaking of this, he looked up at Qi envoy Tian Yu, and there was a faint meaning of asking the teacher to ask for sin.

"......" Qi envoy Tian Yu looked at Zhao Hongrun silently, and only after half a ring, did he say: "The king attaches great importance to this battle, and has transferred 100,000 troops from the river realm......"

The river boundary in his mouth refers to the border between the entire Qi country and Korea in the lower reaches of the Great River (Yellow River).

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun was relieved, he was originally curious about where Qi Guolong, who also took the elite route, got so many troops, and said that he would form a coalition army of 300,000, but he didn't expect to transfer the army deployed in the north to defend South Korea to the south.

It can be seen that this time the king of Qi, Lu Xi, really planned to use his only few life days to defeat the state of Chu, lest the state of Chu take advantage of his death to counteract the state of Qi.

After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun said with a wry smile: "I see...... Your country has weakened the threat to South Korea, and the pressure on my side of Great Wei will be greater......"

As if guessing what Zhao Hongrun was going to say, Qi envoy Tian Yu hurriedly interrupted: "Your Royal Highness King Su, it's not just your country that is under pressure, but also my Julu County of Daqi......"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun said slightly teasingly: "Isn't the fire crossbow warship enough to defend the river boundary?" ”

Yes, the Qi State has stationed a fleet of fire-wielding warships in the river border, and these warships are all carefully built by the skilled craftsmen of the Lu State, and the Qi State has spent a huge amount of money on this.

But with this warship and naval army, the Qi State can also be called the South Korea in the north under the premise of controlling the Chu State in the south.

South Korea's proud cavalry, in front of these Qi naval forces did nothing, often Qi naval army dispatched, the Korean city north of the river boundary will suffer a huge disaster, over time, the Korean people do not dare to build a city along the river, those cities along the river, have been abandoned a lot.

It is precisely for this reason that the Qi State is not worried about their northern borders, and they originally stationed troops on the border of Qi and Han just to put pressure on South Korea, otherwise, South Korea may have taken advantage of the war between Wei and Chu to try to attack the Shangdang and Hedong areas of the Wei State.

Looking at Qi envoy Tian Yu, who was frowning slightly, Zhao Hongrun lowered his voice.

"Rest assured, my Great Wei will definitely send troops to support the alliance leader, but 50,000 troops ...... I'm afraid that Dawei can't afford it, and this king also said that Korea in the north is now heavily armed on the border, and I have to guard against it......"

Qi envoy Tian Yu glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and his face suddenly sank. (To be continued.) )
