Chapter 1265: Giving Hands a Handle

"The emotional hard work of the south and the north is all working hard for the unborn son. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info』

In the cheers of many Su Wang generals in the hall, Zhao Hongrun returned to his seat rather depressed.

Cheers and cheers, in fact, the generals of the Su Wang Army also felt inexplicable about the reward Zhao Hongrun received, and they thought: His Royal Highness King Su has the title of "King Su", what do you want the title of "Shang Jun" to do? Even if it is specifically inherited to the young master.

It is no wonder, after all, most of the generals of the Su Wang Army are from civilian backgrounds, although some of them have now gradually entered the aristocratic class, but they don't know anything about the nobles.

For example, Wu Ji, he really couldn't figure out what the meaning of the title of "Shang Jun" was, but when he saw Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, he saw that the latter had a smile on his face, so he asked in surprise: "Lord Wang, is Shang Jun's title good?" ”

"Of course." Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, knew that Wu Ji was born as a commoner and did not know some things that were agreed upon among the nobles, so he explained in detail in a low voice, after all, he also hoped to have a good relationship with Wu Ji, the first favorite general under the command of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

Maybe Wu Ji thinks that since Zhao Hongrun already has the prince of King Su, even if he gets the title of "Shang Jun", it is meaningless, after all, generally speaking, the monarch is inferior to the prince.

But in fact it is not.

First of all, Zhao Hongrun's "King Su" prince, that was the title of his prince, was given to his son by Wei Tianzi, and it cannot be passed down from generation to generation under normal circumstances, for example, if Zhao Hongrun dies in the future, it is impossible for his son to inherit the title of King Su - unless there is a Wei king who canonizes it again.

But "Shang Jun" is different, it is a title that can be passed down from generation to generation, and its gold content is higher, just like the princes and kings inherited from the early days of the Wei State such as King Yuanyang and King Chengling, as long as Zhao Hongrun inherits the heirs of "Shang Jun" and does not commit any major mistakes, under normal circumstances, there is almost no way for Wei to recover in the future.

Secondly, don't look at the title of "Shang Jun" at the monarch level, it seems to be a few points inferior to the prince, but in fact this is not absolute - Lao Tzu is the king, the son is also the king, and the father and son are equal? It seems that this kind of unethical thing is destined to be impossible in the Wei State.

Therefore, when Zhao Hongrun was still the king, his future son could only get the title of Jun or Marquis. "Note: The king of Wei and the king of Su are completely different in weight, so don't confuse them."

Therefore, in general, the gold content of the title of "Shang Jun" is very high, not only with Shangshui County as a fiefdom, but also can be hereditary, not to mention that there will be many nobles in Wei who are jealous of this, and even King Chengling is envious.

After all, under normal circumstances, the "one-word lord" is more noble than the "two-word lord". "Note: "One word jue" is more noble than "two word jue", which was formed during a certain period of history when the domestic kings were flooded, and this setting was taken in the text.

After getting a detailed explanation from Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, Wu Ji, and Yan Mo, Zhai Huang and other generals of the Shang and Shui armies and Yan Ling armies who were eavesdropping on the side, suddenly realized that they finally understood the dignity of the title of "Shang Jun".

However, after solving the puzzles of Wu Ji and others, Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, also felt a little strange.

You must know that according to the ancestral system, after the children of the Ji Zhao clan opened the mansion, sealed the king, and bestowed the yi, the next step should be to seal the country - for example, in the current situation, the king of Su, Zhao Run, was placed in the vassal state of Shangshui and became a vassal state of Wei.

For example, the Wei State was in the Yuanyang State and the Chengling State in the early days of the founding of the Central Plains.

Of course, the article of sealing the vassal states, the Wei State has long been revoked, because the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, which is not conducive to the development of the entire Wei State, but its name has always been retained, such as Yuanyang, which was once recorded as the "Yuanyang State" in Wei history, and the Wei State still acquiesces that the King of Yuanyang is the lord of the Yuanyang Kingdom, although everyone knows that it is only in name.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, to understand that the imperial court skipped the "sealing of the country", but directly gave His Royal Highness King Su a "seal that cannot be sealed", and rewarded His Royal Highness King Su for the unborn son, is this really appropriate?

"What does Your Majesty mean by this?"

Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling, quietly glanced at Wei Tianzi a few times, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything at all.

He secretly thought in his heart: When he goes back, he will have to sum it up with the old man.

The "boss" he thought in his heart, even if it refers to Zhao Hongrun's third uncle Zhao Laiyu, at present, the big ship of King Su, at least in terms of targeting the domestic aristocracy, is Zhao Laiyu at the helm, secretly absorbing the support of the domestic aristocracy for Zhao Hongrun.

And right now, Zhao Laiyu is actually also in Daliang, living in the private residence of Zhao Shen, the king of Chengling in Daliang City, as for why he didn't follow Zhao Hongrun to the banquet, it was because of embarrassment - after all, back then, Zhao Laiyu and several other sect elders were driven out of Daliang by Zhao Hongrun, even if the old and the young are already harmonious now, but if they meet someone who is not interested in mentioning this, I believe that Zhao Laiyu's old face will still be unbearable.

Therefore, Zhao Laiyu simply did not show his head, and only secretly took the helm of the big ship of "King Su", lest this bad-tempered highness once again destroy the situation that had been created because he was not pleasing to the eyes of some nobles.

Zhao Hongrun mentioned this matter at the beginning, but he came out to invite Zhao Laiyu to return to Daliang to clarify the events of the year, but Zhao Laiyu refused.

There are three reasons, one is that this will affect Zhao Hongrun's reputation, anyway, Zhao Laiyu himself has been half cut into the ground, and it doesn't matter whether he can return to Daliang or not, as long as Zhao Hongrun is powerful, he "Anling Zhao" can be as stable as Mount Tai.

Second, it is also taking into account the attitude of Zhao Yuanyan of Zongfu Zongzheng, Zhao Yuanyan has been sitting on the position of Zongzheng of Zongfu for more than ten years, but he was first held by Zhao Tairu, Zhao Laiyu, Zhao Laituo and other clan elders, and then was set aside by King Yi Zhao Yuanyan, if Zhao Hongrun came forward again to let Zongfu invite him back Zhao Laiyu, what would Zhao Yuanyan's attitude be? Although Zhao Yuanyan is an honest and stable person, will he not get angry if he is really an honest person?

Third, Zhao Laiyu refused this matter, and he didn't want Zhao Tairu, Zhao Laipu and others to return to the sect, especially Zhao Tairu, even Zhao Laiyu had to be called uncle, if such an old ancestor returned to the sect, I really don't know what the situation would be.

Although Zhao Laiyu was on the same side as Zhao Tairu and Zhao Laipu at the beginning, since he also defected to Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, he naturally would not sit idly by and watch the old ancestor Zhao Tairu, who had a grudge against Zhao Hongrun, return to the sect - he would not even give the other party the slightest chance.

So, I simply sneaked back to the girder.

At the same time, following Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, were also nominated for the "first-class meritorious service".

At this time, those generals of the Su Wang family who could not understand the preciousness of the title of "Shang Jun" were relieved in their hearts: it turned out that not only His Royal Highness King Su, but also the rewards of the two princes of Nanliang and Yu were not very rich.

Indeed, compared with the Wei generals nominated for the "Second Class Meritorious", the "First Class Meritorious" nominated by the Su King Zhao Hongrun, the Southern Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo, and the Yu King Zhao Yuantong, the rewards they received were insignificant, and the Su King Zhao Hongrun got the title of "Shang Jun", which was inherited to his son, and the only daughter of the Southern Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo obtained the status of the county lord, as for the Yu King Zhao Yuantong, more of them were actually just rewarded with some books.

Is "first-class meritorious" inferior to "second-class merit"?

Of course not!

The reason why Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Yuanzuo, and Zhao Yuantong, who were nominated for the "First Class Meritorious", only received that meager reward, is because the real reward is not easy to publicize.

For example, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, Wei Tianzi built a tomb in the ancestral mausoleum, so that after a hundred years, Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, and Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Yi, reunited again under the nine springs.

As for some mundane things, I believe that with the current status of Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Yuanzuo, and Zhao Yuantong, they have long been out of their minds, but what they really want, Wei Tianzi may not necessarily give them.

For example, Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, wants to continue to be an idle king who eats and waits for death, Wei Tianzi said hehe.

For example, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, always hoped to restore the title of "King Jing" and the title of "Shunshui Army" in his heart, but how could Wei Tianzi agree?

Another example is that Zhao Yuantong, the king of Yu, hoped to resolve this national disaster for Wei, and then ran to the mountains again to live in seclusion, pursuing the ethereal and absurd way of cultivating immortals.

In a sense, these three are all "unsealable", except for some conventional wealth, there are not many rewards that can be announced to the public, at least not worthy of their merits, so at first glance, it seems that "first-class merits" are not as good as "second-class merits".

But in fact, this is not the case, such as Zhao Hongrun's "Shangjun" title, which is a precious thing that many Wei nobles can't get, Zhao Hongrun can get this honor after working hard for more than half a year, and he makes a lot of money.

Finally, following Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Yuanzuo, and Zhao Yuantong, it was the turn of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, to accept the reward.

Different from the rewards of Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Yuanzuo, and Zhao Yuantong, the imperial court's reward for Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, can be described as rich, and he actually rewarded Shanyang, Ningyi, Huaiyi, and Jixian as fiefdoms all at once, so that Zhao Hongrun, who originally had the heart to fight for some interests for the four royal brothers, couldn't help but exclaim: When did the father become so generous?

But thinking about it carefully, Zhao Hongrun suddenly came back to his senses, their father and emperor clearly used the tricks that once pit him to pit the four royal brothers - Shanyang, Ningyi, Huaiyi, and Jixian, all of which were invaded and attacked by the Han army.

Of course, treacherous and cunning, this is Zhao Hongrun's inner evaluation of his father, in fact, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, was overjoyed after hearing his reward, but he also showed a shocked look.

After all, at present, in the Wei State, even if it is the highly meritorious Su King Zhao Hongrun, there are only six counties of fiefdoms, and he, Zhao Hongjiang, got the fiefdoms of Shanyang, Ningyi, Huaiyi, and Ji counties in one go, and it cannot be said that this is the generosity of Wei Tianzi.

And just when Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, was about to thank him, he heard a voice from Dongxi: "My father is much more generous to the four royal brothers. ”

Everyone turned their heads to take a look, and then they found that it was Zhao Hongrun who made the sound.

"Hongrun, do you have any objections?" Wei Tianzi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yan King Zhao Hongjiang also turned his head to look at Zhao Hongrun, of course, he would not think that Zhao Hongrun was out of jealousy or anything, he knew that this meant that Zhao Hongrun was about to "do it".

It's just that he has already obtained the fiefdom of the four counties, and then he pretends to be the eighth brother to help, is this appropriate?

However, after glancing at Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, flashed a little anger in his eyes, and gave up the idea of stopping Zhao Hongrun with his eyes.

At this time, according to the original agreement, Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "According to the merits of the four royal brothers, how dare the sons and daughters have any objections?" The Four Princes were heroes who guarded Sanyang alone and blocked the Korean army when someone fled to the south bank of the Great River in a hurry......"

At first, everyone in the hall thought that Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, had eaten something wrong, and they were actually jealous of Zhao Hongjiang, the king of Yan, but when they listened to it, they felt that something was wrong: where is this aimed at King Yan, it is clearly aimed at Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang!

“…… The Shanyang Army is a hero, the people of Shanyang County are heroes, the Four Princes are heroes, and I, the Great Wei, need these heroes to sit in the northern Xinjiang and beware of South Korea waiting for an opportunity to attack again. ”

Standing up, Zhao Hongrun clasped his fists and said solemnly.

"Actually...... Delivered to the door yourself?'

Looking at his righteous and awe-inspiring son, Wei Tianzi couldn't help but smile treacherously.

For some reason, looking at his father's weird smile, Zhao Hongrun suddenly felt unwell.

It's as if you're giving someone a handle.
