Chapter 767: The beginning of Chu's civil strife

"Damn! Damn it! ”

Zhao Hongrun scolded and walked on the way out of the palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Don't look at the calm appearance he seemed to have when he left the Vertical Arch Palace, in fact, he was angry at the time, and the reason why he didn't show it was just that he didn't want to be mocked by his unscrupulous father because of this.

Whether it is the former Eighth Highness or the current King Su, he will not show the ugliness of a lost dog when he is at a disadvantage, and it will only provoke people, especially the unscrupulous father, to ridicule him.

"Old man, you're really cunning...... I said why he was so kind all of a sudden, and promoted my Shangshui County to Shangshui County, and it turned out that he was waiting for me here...... Damn it! ”

Zhao Hongrun scolded in a low voice, and at the same time secretly annoyed, annoyed that he was once again pitted by his unscrupulous father, and he was pitted with suffering.

And behind His Royal Highness King Su, except for Chu Heng, who had a smile on his face and perhaps hadn't figured out what was going on so far, the rest of the four Zong Wei, Wei Jiao, Lu Mu, Zhou Pu, and Mu Qing all showed wry expressions.

In the palace of the king of Wei, the capital of Daliang, he actually slandered the son of today as an old man without respect, except for His Royal Highness, I am afraid that throughout the entire Wei country, few people have the courage to do so.

I don't know if there are any inner wardens around......

The guards shrunk their necks, feeling like thieves, and their eyes scanned their surroundings from time to time.

Although they have not found anyone in the inner chamberlain so far, the fear in their hearts has never subsided, after all, they know very well: the inner chamberlain, perhaps on the surface, is just a eunuch palace serving the Son of Heaven, but in fact, it is a supervisory agency whose supervision ability is by no means inferior to that of Shang Shui Qingya, and it directly belongs to the spy supervision agency of Wei Tianzi today.

If the kind of rebellious words of His Royal Highness reach the ears of Wei Tianzi...... The guards didn't dare to imagine what it would be like.

"Ahem."

In the end, Wei Jiao couldn't help but interrupt His Highness's chatter and complaints, and persuaded with a wry expression: "Your Highness, at best, our fiefdom is bigger than before, isn't it?" …… This will be more conducive to your lofty ambitions, Your Highness. ”

"Ambition?" Zhao Hongrun glanced back at Wei Jiao, and asked expressionlessly, "What are my lofty ambitions?" ”

"......" Wei Jiao was suddenly speechless.

After all, as the Zongwei beside Zhao Hongrun, they know best the so-called lofty ambitions of their Royal Highness: to follow in the footsteps of King Yi Zhao Yuanyan and become a gentleman who eats when he wants, plays whenever he wants, and is free.

Yes, I'm afraid not many will believe that the real ambition of a certain His Royal Highness King Su, who is now famous, is only to be a carefree prince, and what else makes Wei strong is just to ensure that the ultimate ambition can be carried out smoothly.

I have to say that at this point, Zhao Hongrun still thinks very thoroughly: he wants to be a gentleman prince, first of all, the Wei State must be strong, if the Wei State dies because of weakness, then what capital does he have to be a gentleman?

"Humph!" Seeing that Wei Jiao was speechless, Zhao Hongrun didn't embarrass him, but just snorted coldly with an unhappy face, and then gritted his teeth and said, "This matter is not over!" ”

Get!

The Zongwei knew in their hearts that as people who had witnessed the "father-son war" step by step, they knew very well in their hearts that their Royal Highness had suffered such a blood loss today, how could they swallow this breath, and they might retaliate tomorrow.

Sometimes, even they can't figure out what their Royal Highness and their father, the emperor, are scheming with each other from time to time because of a fight.

Take today's events as an example, in the eyes of the guards, their Royal Highness has also gained a lot of benefits, after all, it has increased the fiefdom of six counties in vain, although most of those six counties were attacked by the Chu army two years ago, and the basic buildings such as farmland, villages, and houses were destroyed, but then again, it is land after all.

I still remember that last year, in order to obtain a piece of land as a fief, those nobles in China did not hesitate to use the wealth accumulated by several generations or even more than ten generations, and bought a piece of land from the imperial court with a lot of money in the Hedong and Shangdang areas, and deployed private troops on this land to assist the imperial court in resisting the attack of the Korean army.

This example fully proves the importance of fiefdoms.

Therefore, in the eyes of the guards, their Royal Highness has obtained the land of six entire counties this time, which should be a great thing to laugh secretly, why should he be angry because of some bad tastes of His Majesty today?

If a good thing turns into a bad thing, isn't that self-inflicted?

Thinking of this, Mu Qing couldn't help but persuade: "Your Highness, I advise you to forget it." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun stopped and asked unhappily, "Mu Qing, what do you mean by this?" …… Do you think I can't fight the old man? ”

Hearing this old man, Mu Qing couldn't help but want to laugh.

Maybe others will be frightened because of Zhao Hongrun's face, but as one of the former Zongwei who has been with him for several years, Mu Qing has no fear on his face, but asks with a smile: "Your Highness, you said yourself, since you left the palace, how many times have you been beaten?" ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth, and was dumbfounded by Mu Qing's words.

I have to say that since Zhao Hongrun left the pavilion, his "war" with his father and the emperor is indeed that he has won less and lost more.

Some people may ask, when Zhao Hongrun was still in the palace, didn't he make Wei Tianzi deflated several times? Why do you go back the older you get?

The reason is very simple, when he was in the palace, whether it was turning the imperial garden upside down, or instigating the harem to be uneasy, these were just childish nonsense, and it was difficult to get into the hall of elegance.

The only one who was upright and upright over his father was the battle in which Zhao Hongrun repelled Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, two years ago.

But since that time, Wei Tianzi no longer regards Zhao Hongrun's son as a child, but as an opponent who is "on an equal footing" with him, so it will be difficult for Zhao Hongrun to get any more opportunities.

Unless he doesn't care about his face and continues to do the same nonsense as before.

"Eating inside and outside ......" was uncovered by Mu Qing, and Zhao Hongrun scolded with some shame: "Tomorrow, I will transfer you to the Youma Army and ask you to pick up horse manure!" ”

Hearing this, Mu Qing's face changed greatly, and he wailed: "Don't, Your Highness, the humble duty is wrong, the humble duty is wrong...... The lowly duty must stand firmly on your side and fight together...... Well, fight your majesty. ”

In the laughter of the Zongwei, Zhao Hongrun glanced at Mu Qing and said coldly: "Yo, Mu Qing, your transformation is a bit fast, didn't you still look at this king a while ago?" ”

"How can you?" Mu Qing came to Zhao Hongrun's side with a sneer, and said with a flattering face: "I, Zong Wei, aren't we in the same boat with Your Highness." ”

"Humph! But this king is now a ...... with fewer victories and more defeats."

"It's a long time coming. …… Your Highness, you think, Your Majesty, you have been in power for many years, and you are naturally scheming, even if you lose to Your Majesty for a while, what are you discouraged about? In your words, Your Highness, even if you lose ninety-nine battles in the front, it doesn't matter, as long as the last one wins, victory belongs to the one who has the last laugh, what do you say? Mu Qing said flatteringly.

"Hmph, I'm good at talking." Zhao Hongrun glanced at Mu Qing twice, brushed his sleeves and left: "Next time, if you dare to eat inside and outside, you will go to You Ma Jun to report!" ”

In the laughter of the sect guards, Mu Qing pretended to have palpitations, and pretended to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead that did not exist at all.

In the final analysis, this is just a joke between Zhao Hongrun and the Zongwei on weekdays, after all, the Zongwei are the right-hand men, and Zhao Hongrun will never be able to relegate these humerus henchmen to the Horse Cavalry to collect horse manure.

But don't say it, because of Mu Qing's gags, Zhao Hongrun's mood is indeed much better.

Moreover, Mu Qing's remarks also made Zhao Hongrun a little less depressed in his heart.

Why are you depressed?

Because as Mu Qing said, when Wei Tianzi really began to regard Zhao Hongrun's son as an equal opponent, the victory or defeat of the father-son war suddenly tilted towards his father's side.

After all, Wei Tianzi has been in power for more than ten years, and he is all good at scheming, just like this time, Wei Tianzi paved the way for his son in advance, so that his son could settle the vacant land to house the more than one million civilians of Chu State, and at the same time, it can also make this son know everything, but also have to accept his Laozi's giving, as if he was giving alms, and promised all kinds of loss-making conditions.

This is called conspiracy!

Of course, it is also the most angry place for Zhao Hongrun.

However, listening to Mu Qing's words, Zhao Hongrun also felt that there was some truth.

So far, he has directly and indirectly seen the three kings of Qi, Lu Xi, the king of Chu, Xiong Xu, and the lord of Lu, none of whom are good people.

And his father, Wei Tianzi, is standing side by side with those kings, how can he be an easy person to deal with?

It may be that Zhao Hongrun often comes into contact with his father, but ignores the fact that his father is also a king who stands side by side with King Lu Xi of Qi, Xiong Xu, King of Chu, and Prince Lu.

Of course, even so, Zhao Hongrun was not discouraged.

…… I want to find an opportunity to avenge this arrow, hum.

Touching his chin, Zhao Hongrun left the palace thoughtfully, thinking about how to think of a way to make his father lose some face.

Of course, it is a righteous calculation between men and men, not a childlike nonsense, after all, he Zhao Hongrun is now a well-known figure in the world, but he can't pull this face and do some children's revenge.

When they returned to Suwang's Mansion, Zhao Hongrun and the others were pleasantly surprised to find that the guards who had been honed in the Shangshui Army such as Gao Kuo and Chong Zhao also returned to Daliang.

In other words, except for Shen Yu, the head of the original sect guard, who was still studying beside Zhao Hongrun's fifth uncle, Yu Wang Zhao Yuantong, the remaining nine sect guards were able to reunite again.

However, when Zhao Hongrun regretted that when Gao Kuo and the others came back, they also brought back a piece of news about the Chu State.

In the civil turmoil in Chu, the Qu clan, which had been suppressed by the Xiong clan for a long time, finally couldn't help but stand up and try to regain the royal power of Chu when the king of Chu, Xiong Xu, was resisted by many nobles in the country because of certain actions.

In this case, one of the three pillars of the Chu State, Xiling Jun Qu Ping, was implicated and had to stand on the opposite side of Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, for the benefit of his own clan.

And from this, the confrontation between Shouling Jun Jingshe and Xiling Jun Qu Ping.

"It's exciting!"

Hearing this news, Zhao Hongrun was a little depressed because of the relationship between his father and the emperor, and immediately disappeared, and his mind was full of the confrontation between Shouling Junjingshe and Xiling Junjun Qu Ping.

After all, these two are both one of the three pillars of the Chu State, and they are veritable heroic figures of the Chu State. (To be continued.) )
