After 17 years, brothers who used to be enemies of each other are now meeting again, what kind of scene will it be?

It was this flame of gossip that prompted Zhao Hongrun to hide behind a tree in the imperial garden, and looked at Wei Tianzi and Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, who were sitting on both sides of the stone table not far away.

"It's a step too late......

Zhao Hongrun secretly regretted in his heart.

After all, the scene presented in front of his eyes, his father and his third uncle had already sat at the stone table, which meant that his father had opened his mouth and invited Zhao Yuanzuo to sit with him.

Zhao Hongrun regretted that he didn't come a moment earlier, because if he came a moment earlier, he could roughly judge the latter's mood at the moment from the tone of his father's first sentence.

However, after noticing that the atmosphere between Wei Tianzi and Zhao Yuanzuo was still cold, Zhao Hongrun secretly comforted himself: That's it, it's not too late.

And behind him, Zong Wei Shen Yu and Gao Kuo looked at each other, their faces full of fear and horror.

Think about it, peek and eavesdrop on Wei Tianzi's private meeting with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang? Even a few lives aren't enough.

"Shen Yu, you are the head of the sect, you go and persuade His Highness."

Gao Kuo gestured to Shen Yu with his eyes.

Noticing Gao Kuo's expression, Shen Yu hated in his heart: These rabbit cubs, only at this time can I remember that I am the head of the sect guard!

But there is no way, as Gao Kuo said, he Shen Yu is the head of the sect, and he has an unshirkable responsibility.

So, he crept cautiously to Zhao Hongrun's side and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Highness, let's go." ”

"What to go? Is it lively? ”

Zhao Hongrun waved his hand and tried to drive Shen Yu away, but suddenly his eyes lit up, it turned out that after being silent with each other for a while. The two of them finally started talking.

"I really can't imagine that I, Zhao Yuanzuo, will have one day to return to Daliang alive."

Listening to the tone of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, he seemed to be laughing at himself.

Hearing Zhao Yuanzuo's self-deprecation, Wei Tianzi calmly looked at the former third prince brother, and calmly stated a fact: "It was the second prince brother who asked for your favor." ”

The second royal brother in his mouth refers to the prince who is now serving as the head of the sect in the sect. Zhao Yuanyan.

"Second brother?"

Zhao Yuanzuo's eyes flashed a little reminiscence, and he said with a smile: "It looks like something that the two royal brothers will do...... I remember when I was a child, he said, "My Ji Zhao clan wants to be united", hehehe......"

Seeing Zhao Yuanzuo mention the past when he was a child, the indifference on Wei Tianzi's face faded a little, and he nodded and said, "Yes." …… Therefore, the second brother Wang will be favored by the clan elders and cultivated as the Zongzheng of my Ji surname Zhao family. ”

It is undeniable that the Zongzheng of the Ji Zhao clan is a very noble existence. He is like the helmsman of the Zhao clan surnamed Ji, and in dealing with the internal affairs of the clan, the right to speak is even more effective than Wei Tianzi, which is equivalent to the acting patriarch, and his status is transcendent.

"Zongzheng, ......" Zhao Yuanzuo muttered to himself, shook his head and said with a smile: "Only the second brother can shoulder this responsibility." ”

"Huh." Wei Tianzi smiled slightly, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.

"It's getting better...... It's talking.'

Zhao Hongrun peeked from afar, although he was a little disappointed when the two met again after seventeen years. But in my heart, I put down a boulder hanging in my heart.

And at this moment, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, had slowly put away the look of remembrance in his eyes. Looking at Wei Tianzi, he asked in a complicated tone, "How should I call you now?" …… Your Majesty? ”

Hearing this from afar, Zhao Hongrun's heart was shocked, and his eyes stared at the two people in the distance.

Because he knows that the main drama is about to begin!

Sure enough, when he heard this, the faint smile on Wei Tianzi's face gradually retracted. Looking at Zhao Yuanzuo, he said flatly: "You still haven't been convinced, have you?" ”

"......" Zhao Yuanzuo glanced at Wei Tianzi deeply, and muttered, "Whether you are convinced or not...... Your Majesty is now the lord of my Great Wei, and I, the prisoner of Your Majesty's ranks. Everyone in the world says that heroes are judged by success or failure. And ......"

Speaking of this, under the moving gaze of Wei Tianzi and Zhao Hongrun's father and son who were peeking next to him, he stood up, knelt down beside the stone table, lowered his head, and bowed respectfully: "Sinner, beg Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”

"How could it ......?"

Zhao Hongrun, who was peeking from afar, widened his eyes in horror, after all, the impression given to him by Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was that it was by no means like he would bend his knees to people, which could be seen from Wei Tianzi's reaction to this.

No, even Wei Tianzi was stunned, raising his hand several times to help, and stopping several times when he wanted to speak, but he was slightly at a loss.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Hongrun has never seen his father so at a loss.

However, this rare sight was fleeting, and within a moment, Wei Tianzi had already realized his gaffe, personally helped Zhao Yuanzuo up, and immediately comforted: "In fact, I have pardoned you seventeen years ago......

Zhao Yuanzuo didn't ask anything like "since you have pardoned me, why did you exile me to the border of Great Wei", after all, he also understood the truth of "becoming a king and defeating a villain": he lost, and Wei Tianzi won, so no matter what Wei Tianzi did to him, it was not too much.

Although the Zongfu will try to protect almost any descendant of the Ji Zhao clan, this does not include 'treason and rebellion', and his Zhao Yuanzuo's crime is precisely this.

Therefore, Wei Tianzi did not put him to death at the beginning, but exiled him in the name of being crowned as a king, which was considered an extrajudicial favor.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Yuanzuo joked: "I thought I was like a chicken rib, tasteless to eat, and it was a pity to abandon it, so Your Majesty exiled me." ”

"......" Wei Tianzi looked at Zhao Yuanzuo when he heard this, he ignored the latter's joke, and said, "I have already forgiven you, but you couldn't let go of it at that time. …… I can only forgive you once. ”

"......" Zhao Yuanzuo was stunned when he heard this, and raised his head in surprise.

Of course, he could understand the deep meaning of Wei Tianzi's words, in fact, even Zhao Hongrun, who was peeking on the side, could understand it.

"It turns out that my father was afraid that the third uncle would rebel again, so he was exiled......

Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized.

Wei Tianzi's revealing voice made Zhao Yuanzuo silent for a while, and then. Only then did he murmur: "Indeed, it is a great grace of heaven to forgive a traitor and rebel once, and if he repeats it again and again, I am afraid that the people will not accept ......it."

And just when Zhao Yuanzuo thought he understood Wei Tianzi's intentions, Wei Tianzi shook his head and interrupted him.

"Nope! It's not because the people are convinced. It's just that I ......" I saw Wei Tianzi staring at Zhao Yuanzuo's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I am not sure that if Yuan Tong cannot help me, I will pardon the three royal brothers who raise troops to rebel again." …… If the three royal brothers really want to rebel again, I can only kill them! ”

『……』

Zhao Yuanzuo's face was moved when he heard this, and he looked at Wei Tianzi in surprise.

And Zhao Hongrun, who was peeking from the side, showed a strange expression on his face, because he felt that his father's words were really sensational.

"That's the reason."

Zhao Yuanzuo didn't know if he was convinced, his expression was very weird, and he asked with a half-sigh: "Yuan Yu...... What's going on? ”

Yuan Qi in his mouth. is the former strong supporter of Wei Tianzi, the former fifth son of the emperor and the "King of Yu" Zhao Yuantong, who is the genius who really defeated Zhao Yuanzuo.

When it came to Zhao Yuantong, Wei Tianzi really showed his true feelings, but he shook his head and sighed: "As far as I know, Yuantong's physical condition is okay, but ...... Everything he ever valued. Gone are gone. …… He could no longer ride a horse, he could no longer carry a gun and a club, and he was a little tired. I will cough up blood and ...... He has repeatedly laughed at himself, saying that he is a waste. ”

"Grumpy Yuan ......"

Zhao Yuanzuo was really moved this time, he couldn't accept it, Zhao Yuantong, who was the first soldier and rode a horse to kill on the front line, and was known as the "irascible King Yu", could no longer ride a horse. It is no longer possible to carry a gun.

That crossbow arrow ruined the most heroic general of the Great Wei Dynasty in modern times.

“……”

Zhao Yuanzuo sighed silently, and then asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty summoned me back to Daliang, does Yuan Yu know?" ”

Wei Tianzi nodded, and said with a straight face: "A month ago." After the second brother persuaded me, I had sent someone to inform Yuan Tong of the matter. …… No matter what happens, I won't hide it from him. ”

"The relationship between Your Majesty and King Yu is really ......" Zhao Yuanzuo sighed slightly, and then asked again: "That...... What is Yuan Tong's attitude towards this? ”

Wei Tianzi raised his glass and took a sip of tea when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice: "He hopes that I and the three royal brothers can give up their prejudices and join hands to serve me as a great Wei." In addition, I also told me that if there is any misconduct with the three royal brothers, they will not be pardoned or killed! ”

"Is that good? So bluntly?'

Zhao Hongrun frowned as he listened.

However, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was more accepting of this sentence, nodded and said, "It's what Yuan Tong will say." ”

After that, he looked up at Wei Tianzi, and said: "I hope Your Majesty will tell Yuan Tong that the long seventeen years have already made me consume that hatred, and now, I just want to give my wife and children a glory, and I don't want them to be forced to live because of me......"

Wei Tianzi looked at Zhao Yuanzuo in surprise and said in surprise: "The temperament of the three princes has really changed a lot." ”

Zhao Yuanzuo laughed at himself when he heard this, and said lightly: "Living in an inaccessible place, there are few people within a radius of 100 miles, even if you are a stubborn person, the persistence in your heart will be exhausted." ”

Of course, Wei Tianzi knew what kind of place Nanliang was, and he was not surprised, but was a little embarrassed, and he changed the topic and said, "I heard that Brother Sanwang has a daughter? ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yuanzuo nodded and said, "Call Ying'er, almost six years old." ”

"Was it born in Nanliang?"

"yes." Zhao Yuanzuo said with a wry smile: "I have been very careful with my insider, but unfortunately I am pregnant. ”

"Huh? Unfortunate?'

Zhao Hongrun, who was peeking on the side, was stunned when he heard this, and he really couldn't imagine that this third uncle would say such humorous words.

No, even Wei Tianzi was amused, and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, I am pregnant? It should be unfortunate that he never gave birth to a son and inherited the mantle of the three kings, right? ”

However, hearing this, Zhao Yuanzuo smiled faintly and said calmly: "No, in fact, Ying'er has a brother ......."

"Huh?" Wei Tianzi was stunned and asked puzzledly, "Did you unfortunately die?" ”

"Ahh Zhao Yuanzuo nodded and said calmly: "On the day I was born, I threw myself into the lake and drowned. ”

Wei Tianzi was stunned when he heard this, and before he could say anything, he heard an exclamation from the garden not far away.

"Ah......" (To be continued.) )
