"I didn't expect Xiao Ba to do such a big thing in Chudi......"

The early dynasty was over, and when Yongwang Hongyu stepped out of the Zichen Palace, he sighed sincerely.

At this moment, a teasing chuckle came from behind him.

"Brother Huang is worried?"

Yongwang Hongyu turned his head when he heard this, only to find that it was Wang Hongjing, the third Xiang, who spoke behind him.

"Boring ...... Discord"

I saw Yongwang Hongyu smile slightly, glanced at Hongjing deeply, and said as if he had a deep meaning: "Brother Fool thinks that the third brother and Brother Fool are on the side......"

The smile on Xiangwang Hongjing's face narrowed a little when he heard this, and a trace of imperceptible discoloration flashed in his eyes, and he immediately apologized: "It's the foolish brother Meng Lang." ”

After that, Hongjing let out a long breath, and said inexplicably: "It seems that my father is really very happy this time, and he didn't mean to pursue Xiaoba and Fen Cheng Sai Xu Yin at all." ”

Yongwang Hongyu didn't speak, he naturally understood what Hongyu meant by "investigation".

Because it stands to reason that Zhao Hongrun is not qualified to dispatch the troops of Fen Chengsai.

Not only Fenchengsai, but also the six permanent military camps of the Great Wei, the Junshui Battalion, the Dangshan Battalion, the Fencheng Fortress, etc., if there is no consent from the Son of Wei and the golden order, no one has the right to transfer the entire Great Wei.

However, in the process of fighting with the Chu army, Zhao Hongrun successively mobilized Sima An of the Dangshan Battalion and Xu Yin of Fen Chengsai.

The previous transfer of the Dangshan battalion is good to say, after all, at that time, Zhao Hongrun ordered Sima An to lead the army to ambush the Chu general Cheyu with the golden order given by Wei Tianzi, but this time, Zhao Hongrun still mobilized Xu Yin of Fencheng Sai without the three golden orders had been used up, and asked him to send troops to attack Chu together as a side response. This is not allowed by the Great Wei Decree.

There is also Xu Yin, the general of Fen Chengsai, who first cut and then played in response to Zhao Hongrun's initiative to counterattack Chu without the approval of the imperial court and the Son of Heaven, and raised troops to attack Chu without authorization, which is a great crime of conspiracy.

Fortunately. One of them is Wei Tianzi's favorite son now, and the other is Wei Tianzi's most trusted former Zongwei, otherwise if they are others, even if they win great merits, they will not be able to escape the impeachment of overstepping their authority from the imperial historian alone.

Even if one is not good, not only is it useless, but it has been done.

But it can be seen from Wei Tianzi's red face and joyful look in today's court meeting that he did not pursue the two people at all, and even Su Geng, the imperial historian in the palace, became a mud fetus wooden statue, ignoring the two of them overstepping their authority.

Although neither Hongyu nor Hongjing said it explicitly. But they are very clear in their hearts: in the near future, Xiaoba Hongrun, Bailiba, Xu Yin, Li Qi, Gong Yuan, etc., those meritorious ministers who recovered the lost territory of Great Wei, counterattacked Chu State, and even severely damaged the strength of Xiong Tuozhi, the king of Xuancheng, will be the direction of the wind from top to bottom.

As long as he caters to Wei Tianzi's preferences and hypes up and praises the meritorious man who crusaded against the Chu State, then he will definitely be able to get Wei Tianzi's joy. On the other hand, if someone dares to pick a bone in the egg at this time. accusing Zhao Hongrun of not overstepping his authority to dispatch the army of Fen Chengsai, then. I'm afraid that this person's official career will come to an end.

Didn't you see that this time, even the most difficult imperial historian did not open his mouth to express any opinion on this matter?

"Did you hear that?"

Walking and walking, Xiangwang Hongjing mentioned one thing meaningfully: "A few days ago, the East Palace presented a song to my father and emperor......"

Yongwang Hongyu chuckled lightly and replied casually: ""King Su Breaks Chu Xuancheng Jun Xiong Tuo Soldier Formation". ”

"Brother Huang knows?" Hongyu asked in surprise.

"Oh, in the last few days, the music room in the palace. Isn't it rehearsal? Hongyu smacked his lips and nodded and commented: "Don't say it, that song is really good......

"It's just a pretense of manpower." Hongjing pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Foolish brother, I don't believe that Donggong has such attainments. ”

"Luo Ying?"

"Ah, it must be that Luo Ying." Xiangwang Hongjing said with some jealousy.

Now he is the chief think-tank staff member of the East Palace Prince Hongli. Luo Ying's name has already been introduced to the ears of King Yong Hongyu and King Xiang Hongjing, and even these two princes have already fought with Luo Ying, so they naturally know each other's abilities.

Just one point, since Luo Ying was reused by the prince of the East Palace, some small actions of King Yong Hongyu and King Xiangjing in private have not been successful, and on the contrary, the Prince of the East Palace Hongli, with the assistance of Luo Ying, has figured out the holy will many times.

Just like this time, what to offer to Wei Tianzi "King Su Breaks Chu Xuancheng Jun Xiong Tuobing Array", it can be said that it has greatly won the favor of their father and emperor.

Even if they were annoyed, Hongyu and Hongjing had to accept the facts: because of Luo Ying's relationship, Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, won the favor of their father again with the help of their little eighth brother Hongrun's several victories this time.

As for who composed the music, who cares?

Is it Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, or his staff Luo Ying, does Wei Tianzi care?

Thinking that as long as he praised his eighth son, Wei Tianzi would gladly accept it, and he was secretly overjoyed.

"Luo Ying's trick...... It's very clever. ”

Hongjing exhaled and praised sincerely: "When Xiao Hachi returns triumphantly on the other day, the music fang presents this song, not only the father is happy, but also Xiao Hachi's heart is happy...... If Xiaoba changes to the East Palace, I believe you and I will have a headache......"

After that, Xiangwang Hongjing bowed to Yongwang Hongyu and left.

『……』

Looking at the back of Xiangwang Hongjing when he left, Yongwang Hongyu smacked his mouth and didn't say a word.

At this time, Zhou Yue, the sect guard behind Hongyu, stepped forward and said with a surprised face: "It seems that King Xiang is on His Royal Highness's side." ”

"He? Scold! Yongwang Hongjing snorted lightly, shook his head and whispered, "He will only stand on his own side." …… Thankless, in the eyes of the king, this guy is probably the most scheming of my brothers......"

"Shouldn't the most scheming person be His Royal Highness?" Zhou Yue asked puzzled.

Yongwang Hongyu sighed when he heard this, shook his head and said: "This scheming is not another scheming. …… If you are smart and witty, the three old three together will not be the opponent of Xiaoba; But in terms of means and tricks, Xiao Badou is no more than the third. …… That guy, in the case of obviously joining forces with this king. still don't forget to separate the king and Xiaoba, so it's not difficult for you to guess what kind of virtuous guy this is! ”

『……』

Zong Wei Zhou Yue looked at His Royal Highness in confusion.

"That's it, don't mention him." Shaking his head, Yongwang Hongyu thought for a while, and then said to Zhou Yue: "That's right." Zhou Yue, after going back, sent someone to Li Liang's mansion, saying that this king had other important matters and could not visit his mansion. …… Don't forget to apologize for this king. ”

"Your Highness?" Zhou Yue looked at His Royal Highness in shock when he heard this, and he couldn't believe it.

You know, Li Liang is a household secretary, and his Royal Highness frequently went out to the household department some time ago, isn't it just to find a way to catch Li Liang's line, and now the household department is obviously quite fond of his Royal Highness. Why did His Royal Highness suddenly change his hexagram?

"This ......" Zhou Yue looked nervously left and right, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, as far as I know, the East Palace is also trying to win over Li Liang, if His Royal Highness gives up the great opportunity to win over Li Liang, wouldn't he give up the household department to the East Palace?" ”

"It doesn't hurt to give it to him." Yongwang Hongyu said lightly.

Zhou Yue was even more surprised when he heard this: "Your Highness doesn't want the household department?" ”

"Don't." Yongwang Hongyu said calmly.

Zhou Yue opened his mouth, shocked beyond measure, knowing since July and August. His Royal Highness spared no effort to win over the household, but I don't know what to do today. But he suddenly changed his hexagram, which made him unable to figure it out.

"This time and that time." Yongwang Hongyu smiled and continued to speak to shake the heart of his own Zongwei: "Not only the household department, but also the official department...... You don't have to do anything with it anymore. ”

"Your Highness?!" Zhou Yue's eyes widened in shock.

However, King Yong Hongyu didn't care about Zong Wei's shock, and said in thought: "The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Soldiers...... Tut! Only the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Industry remained...... Zhou Yue, on behalf of the king, sent a message of worship to Lord Zhou Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department. ”

"Criminal Department?"

Zhou Yue couldn't figure out what was wrong with His Royal Highness. There are two important government offices, the household department and the official department, but the criminal department.

Indeed, the Criminal Department is also a high-ranking and powerful six-ministry government, but the problem is that it is still not more critical than the household department and the official department.

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Yue said with a complicated expression: "Give up the officials and the household department to the East Palace...... I hope Your Highness will not regret the decision you made today! ”

may have seen the anger in Zong Wei Zhou Yue's heart. Yongwang Hongyu smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Wait and see, if the East Palace really takes the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households at this time...... When the time comes, it won't be enough for him to spit it all out! ”

"......" Zhou Yue looked at his Royal Highness suspiciously.

"Remember, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Soldiers, and the Ministry of Rites...... No one of the king's men shall touch him! ”

“…… Be. ”

At the same time, Wei Tianzi was taking his youngest son Hongxuan to Concubine Shen Shu's Ningxiang Palace.

When he saw Concubine Shen Shu, Wei Tianzi couldn't help laughing and said: "Concubine Ai has never seen it, the minister of the Manchu Dynasty, when I heard that the inferior son not only invaded the Chu State, but also conquered the Chu State territory that is larger than my Great Wei Yingshui North County...... The gang were like statues in the temple, motionless one by one......"

"Your Majesty shall not blaspheme." Shen Shufei smiled reluctantly.

From the side, Zhao Hongxuan also said excitedly: "But it's true, mother...... Brother is amazing, mother, do you know? At the beginning, the elder brother took 25,000 Junshui troops and 10,000 Yanling troops to resist the 160,000 troops of Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, and Xiong Hu, the monarch of Pingyu, but now, one of those two guys escaped, and the other was captured by the elder brother, and the soldiers under the elder brother reached 85,000...... Eighty-five thousand...... I really don't know how my brother subdued the more than 50,000 Pingxuan troops, they are all Chu people......"

Hearing this eldest father and son, Shen Shufei smiled reluctantly, and immediately couldn't help but ask Wei Tianzi: "That...... Can Run'er come back for the New Year? ”

"This ......"

The look of joy on Wei Tianzi's face suddenly froze, and he realized that the concubine in front of him didn't care about how many merits her eldest son had established, she only cared about his safety, and desperately hoped that her eldest son could return to Daliang and reunite with his family.

"I don't know where Run'er is......"

"Zhengyang County."

“…… How are you doing in Zhengyang County now, on such a cold day, do you remember to add clothes ......" Shen Shufei sighed faintly.

Looking at Concubine Shen Shu, who sighed for a long time, Wei Tianzi and his son Hongxuan glanced at each other helplessly.

"It's obviously enough to make the whole country boil about the great victory and victory, why doesn't the concubine (mother's parent) have any joy?"

Both father and son felt a little disappointed.

But it is undeniable that the end of the year of the entire Great Liang will inevitably be more festive because of Zhao Hongrun's victory in the Chu State.

From tomorrow onwards, I don't know how many Liang people will talk about Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and talk about their Great Wei's counterattack on Chu after the meal.

Sure enough, this celebration was transmitted from the palace to the people outside the palace, and then back to the court from outside the palace, making the beams at the end of this year full of people, as if every family was celebrating this happy day.

Thinking about it, the only people who feel vacant are Zhao Hongrun's mother Shen Shufei and his imperial sister Princess Yulong.

"Not coming back yet...... Suffocated!'

Princess Yulong, who was ordered by Zhao Hongrun not to leave Wenzhao Pavilion without permission, angrily poked the portrait of his younger brother Zhao Hongrun with the end of her brush.

At the same time, I eagerly looked forward to Zhao Hongrun returning as soon as possible and taking her out of the palace to play. (To be continued.) )
