"You...... How did you end up in the palace? ”

Standing in the vertical arch hall, which was only one step away from the outside of the hall, Wei Tianzi looked at his son who had stepped into the hall first with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Why can't the emperor be in the palace?" Zhao Hongrun blinked his eyes and said innocently: "The emperor has come to surprise his father." …… Well, I can see that my father is really happy, you see, I can't speak. ”

『……』

Wei Tianzi's mouth opened wide, as if he was dumbfounded.

After all, according to the charter, this time the son in front of him has made such a meritorious service, and he should slowly return to Daliang with the Junshui Army, and on the Liang side, it should also be accompanied by Wei Tianzi, the prince of the East Palace, Hongli, and all the princes and ministers of the court, go out of the city to greet each other, after all, the great victory in the battle of Wei and Chu is worth celebrating on the National Day, and the ministers of the court and the central government hope to take this opportunity to boost the morale of the people.

Unexpectedly, as the biggest hero of this battle, Zhao Hongrun abandoned the Junshui Army and sneaked back to Daliang, which is simply ...... It's just that the arrangement of the imperial court is nothing.

"You ......" Wei Tianzi pointed at his son with a stunned face, and asked in disbelief, "What are you sneaking back to Daliang for?" ”

"Let's take a look at my father's stunned appearance, oh, that's what my father is doing now...... It's not in vain that the emperor will come back to Daliang as soon as possible! Zhao Hongrun smiled heartlessly.

"This son ......!!"

Wei Tianzi opened his mouth, a little speechless by his son's words, after a long time, he calmed down and asked in a deep voice: "Didn't I order someone to inform Bailiba, and tell you to slowly return to the army and Liang?" He...... Didn't you tell you? ”

"General Baili told me." Zhao Hongrun asked casually.

"What about you...... Then why don't you listen to the arrangement of the imperial court, and don't listen to my arrangement? ”

At the time of saying this. Wei Tianzi was really a little angry.

You must know that "going out of the city to greet this meritorious man" is the top priority that he has been preparing with the imperial court for at least half a month, whether it is he Wei Tianzi or the hundred officials in the court, they all hope to take this opportunity to boost the morale of the people, but they didn't expect it. As a party, Zhao Hongrun regarded the hard preparations on the side of Daliang as nothing, and returned to Daliang one step ahead of schedule.

"This bad guy definitely did it on purpose!!"

Wei Tianzi gritted his teeth and glared at Zhao Hongrun, and in the middle of a sound, he approached the son in front of him, lowered his voice and asked, "You did it on purpose, right?" ”

"Ah, I just did it on purpose." Zhao Hongrun replied in a low voice.

Just when Wei Tianzi heard this and was about to attack, he saw Zhao Hongrun lower his voice and said to his father: "Didn't my father forget? Before the emperor left the palace. My father once said that only when the emperor defeated the army of Chu could it be regarded as a victory for the emperor, and now, the emperor returned victoriously and was the winner. …… Winner, how do you want to celebrate that it is his freedom, this is the rule! "Say it. Zhao Hongrun raised two fingers, lowered his voice and added: "Two wins and two losses!" ”

"This bunny!!"

Wei Tianzi's shoulders trembled slightly angrily. gloomy and silent.

It's a pity that Zhao Hongrun didn't look at his father's face at all, and said hello to Tong Xian, the great eunuch who was also stunned, as well as Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi, two familiar Chinese ministers, and then turned around and walked out of the vertical arch hall.

When he walked outside the hall, Zhao Hongrun turned his head again. Facing Wei Tianzi, he added: "By the way, father, according to the agreement between our father and son when they 'talked to men with men', from today on, Emperor Yulong doesn't want to marry, you." Don't force it anymore! ”

『……』

Wei Tianzi's expression was a little distorted, and he gritted his teeth and burst out of his mouth: "Okay!" ”

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun walked out of the Vertical Arch Hall with a happy face, and when he walked to the steps outside the Vertical Arch Palace, he suddenly turned his head again, and pretended to reminisce and said: "By the way, Father, is this scene very familiar...... " After that, an exaggerated smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Ahhhh

Seeing his son, who was smiling strangely, disappear in front of his eyes, Wei Tianzi's forehead was bruised.

How could he not know what his son was referring to, remembering that when he used Luo Wenzhong, a ministry's official, to trick his son, he also laughed so heartily, it was obvious that his naughty son had come back to take revenge this time.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, then, then we will also retire first. ”

Zong Wei, Shen Yu and the others looked at Wei Tianzi who seemed to be on the verge of a seizure with strange expressions, shrunk their heads and hurriedly said goodbye.

After that, they didn't wait for Wei Tianzi to nod, and fled one after another.

So much so that in the entire vertical arch hall, only Wei Tianzi, who was pale, and Tong Xian, the stunned eunuch, Lin Yuyang, Yu Ziqi, the ministers of Zhongshu, and Feng Yu, another new Zhongshu right-hand man.

"That'...... Is it His Royal Highness King Su? Feng Yu, who had not long been appointed as the new Zhongshu right, asked the two colleagues in a low voice.

I saw Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi glance at each other, and with a wry smile, they conveyed a message to this new colleague that made the latter a little nervous: As the Minister of Zhongshu, you will inevitably have to deal with His Royal Highness King Su in the future.

On the other side, the great eunuch Tong Xianzheng carefully patted Wei Tianzi's back, for fear that this emperor would be angry with His Highness.

"I should have thought of it...... I should have thought of this son of a young man...... Hmph, hey, hey, hey......" Wei Tianzi laughed in a low voice, his sinister smile made the scalps of everyone in the hall tingle for a while.

Fortunately, at this time, the Chinese book made Lin Yuyang spread the topic in time: "Your Majesty, why did Your Highness leave like this?" Then, we have been preparing for more than half a month to welcome the army......"

"He made it clear that he came back to embarrass me, and after playing me, he naturally left, what are you going to do here? As for the arrangement of the imperial court, my arrangement, you have also heard it, will the bad son care? Wei Tianzi snorted coldly with resentment.

"Why don't you send someone to Ningxiang Palace?" The great eunuch Tong Xian said in a low voice: "Your Highness is going here, you must be going to Ningxiang Palace to ask Concubine Shen Shu for peace, Concubine Shen Shu is knowledgeable, I believe that if Your Majesty sends someone over, Concubine Shen Shu will definitely call ......"

"Forget it!" Wei Tianzi raised his hand to interrupt Tong Xian's words, and said calmly: "That bad son has been out of the palace for half a year, so don't disturb their mother and son......

"Yes." Tong Xian bowed his head respectfully. It's just that he smiled bitterly in his heart, and he knew that His Majesty, as Lao Tzu, was definitely unwilling to bow to his son.

Sure enough, Wei Tianzi's subsequent words fully proved the resentment in his heart at the moment.

"Let's go, follow me out of the palace. Welcome to the victorious ones! …… Without that bad son, isn't there still a hundred miles away, and there is still a water army! ”

Seeing Wei Tianzi walking out of the vertical arch hall with a gloomy face, everyone in the hall looked at each other, so they had to follow closely.

At the same time, as the great eunuch Tong Xian expected, Zhao Hongrun did take Shen Yu and others and went straight to Concubine Shen Shu's Ning Xiang Palace.

It happened that at this time in the Ningxiang Palace, Zhao Hongrun's younger brother Zhao Hongxuan was also there. It is estimated that he is also waiting for the Junshui Army to return to Daliang, so that he can go outside the city in time to meet his brother, and pass the good news back to the palace to his mother, Shen Shufei.

As a result, mother and son were reunited, and brothers were reunited.

"Run'er, tell Weiniang to take a closer look at you."

I have to say that when Concubine Shen Shufei saw her eldest son again after a long absence, she was really excited. After all, although this eldest son was not born to her, he regarded it as his own.

"You've grown taller. But I've also lost weight......" I saw Shen Shufei caressing her eldest son's face, her face full of mother's distress, and she couldn't help but wonder if her eldest son couldn't eat or sleep well when he was in the army, so his face was yellow and thin.

"How can the child eat well when he is in the army. If you sleep well, you will grow taller, so it will look as if you have lost weight. Although Zhao Hongrun can't be sure whether he has really grown taller, he can only say so, otherwise. I'm afraid that the mother concubine in front of me may be so distressed.

Fortunately, there was also a younger brother Zhao Hongxuan next to him, who interrupted in time to divert Shen Shufei's attention: "Brother, I heard that you have laid down the eighteen cities of Chu State this time?" Let Chu Guo accompany a large sum of money and goods? ”

"You've heard?" When it comes to this matter, Zhao Hongrun is also a little happy, although it is not appropriate to say so, but it is undeniable that he has gained a lot in this battle, as long as it works well, he will not need to live that kind of embarrassing life in the future.

"Of course!" Zhao Hongxuan said excitedly: "I heard that the money and goods you collected from the Chu State were transported to Xiangfu County along the Cai River, and they were piled up as many as a few hills in the local area. ”

"What's the scrape, it's too ugly, it's the reward for letting my brother withdraw from the army on the side of the Chu State, understand?" As he spoke, Zhao Hongrun put his arm around his younger brother's shoulders and whispered, "Brother Hui will share your share." Speaking of this, Zhao Hongrun seemed to think of something, turned his head and said to Shen Shufei: "By the way, mother, the child also specially selected some exquisite pearls, jade, lacquerware, and bronze ware, and sent someone to Ningxiang Palace back." ”

Although Concubine Shen Shufei has never cared about things outside her body, this filial piety from her son makes her quite happy.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and asked in surprise: "By the way, Run'er, why did you suddenly return to the palace?" Your father has been discussing with the ministers of the court these days, but he must organize special men to go outside the city to welcome your army in triumph......"

"This ......" Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes, and he didn't dare to say that he had already gone to the Vertical Arch Hall to take revenge, and said, "Isn't the child missing his mother." ”

After all, it was more than ten years of mother and son, how could Concubine Shen Shufei not guess what this eldest son was thinking, she shook her head helplessly and sighed.

She had a hunch that His Majesty would come to his Ningxiang Palace tonight and complain to her about the misdeeds of her eldest son.

In this regard, Shen Shufei was also a little helpless, she felt that Wei Tianzi and Zhao Hongrun, the father and son, the way they contacted their feelings was the kind that ordinary people could not understand.

At the same time, Bai Liba, the general of the Junshui Army, led the Wei soldiers of the Junshui Army under his command, and they were close to Daliang.

According to the arrangement of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, this victorious and triumphant return of the army will be at the east gate of the Great Liang to accept the congratulations of Wei Tianzi and the hundred officials of the court, and then, the army entered the city from the east gate, went straight through the most prosperous side street in the center of the city, and under the congratulations of the people in the city, and then went out of the city from the northwest side gate, and returned to the original garrison camp of the Junshui army.

Needless to say, this is definitely a grand event for the girders, which is enough to make the whole girder lively.

However, in Zhao Hongrun's view, being greeted into the city by tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 people made him feel happier than seeing his father, Emperor Wei Tianzi, stunned. (To be continued.) )
