"Almost destroying the country......?"

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Zhao Yuanyan in shock, if it weren't for the solemn look on his face when this Sixth Uncle said this, he really thought he was joking.

What is this?

The Great Wei side has just stabilized, and the mother country is almost extinct? Those Ji surnamed Wei clans, who are close to the Ji surname Zhao family, are almost wiped out?

Zhao Hongrun simply didn't know what to say.

may have seen Zhao Hongrun's frightened look on his face, Zhao Yuanyan suddenly put away the solemnity on his face, and said with a smile: "Haha, it's the sixth uncle who is too alarmist." …… In fact, Longxi still has the strength to fight. ”

『……』

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Zhao Yuanyan and did not speak.

Because he knew that since the sixth uncle said that the country was almost destroyed, it meant that the situation in Longxi was really dangerous, and he, the sixth uncle who seemed to be not doing the right thing, would not joke about such a national event.

After a long time, Zhao Hongrun asked tentatively: "Could it be that the sixth uncle went to Longxi just to confirm whether this news is true?" ”

"Hmm!" Probably realizing that his smile had failed to have any effect, Zhao Yuanyan put away the smile on his face, and said in a solemn tone again: "If you want to support Longxi, you must pass through Sanchuan County and Rongguo, and you will not sit idly by." …… Therefore, it is necessary to first confirm whether this news is reliable, and then consider whether to negotiate with Rong Guo. And, be prepared to fight the Rong State. ”

"Isn't the relationship between my Great Wei and the Rong State bad?"

"It's not good or bad." Zhao Yuanyan shook his head, frowned, and said: "In the past, the two wells did not interfere with river water, except for trading some salt, iron, horses, and grain, there was almost no contact. ”

"And the deal?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this: "Since there is a deal, why don't you borrow it directly from Rongguo?" ”

Zhao Yuanli shook his head and corrected: "First of all." "Rong State" is just the sixth uncle's model name for their city-state, in fact, my Great Wei used to call it "Xirong", Xirong, like Ba State, does not exist in the real sense of the word, it is composed of many large tribes and small tribes. Large tribes rule small tribes, such as "Lin Hu", "Wushi", "Yiqu" and so on in the northwest of Longxi, as well as "Yin Rong" that separates my Great Wei from Longxi. …… If you want to borrow from Yin Rong, you have to convince all those tribal patriarchs of Yin Rong, large and small. ”

"Hard?"

"Hmm. First of all, you have to look for the location of those tribes in the land of the Three Rivers. Moreover, not all tribes of Yin Rong have good intentions towards my Great Wei. …… In the past, the people who traded with my Great Wei were only one or two of them at most. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun already understood.

Obviously, Yin Rong could not agree to the Great Wei sending elite troops through the land of Sanchuan. Go to support Longxi, after all, they will also be worried, what if the army of Great Wei suddenly attacks them?

Therefore, if Great Wei insisted on sending troops to support Longxi, it would mean that Yin Rong would most likely organize troops to intercept it.

"Does my father know about this?" Zhao Hongrun asked.

Zhao Yuanyan nodded, smiled and said, "Sixth Uncle has explained in detail to your father what he has seen and heard over the years, and I believe that tomorrow." Your father will summon his ministers to counsel. ”

"Counsel?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned, and then his face showed a little inexplicable weirdness.

There's no denying it. This is indeed a matter that should be well discussed.

After all, according to Zhao Yuanyan, Longxi is quite far away from Yingshuijun of Great Wei, and there is a powerful "Yin Rong" in the middle.

If Da Wei's fist is hard enough, then he will naturally be able to break through. On the contrary, Great Wei could only retract back into Chenggao Pass, watching the mother clan surnamed Wei in Longxi being bullied by foreigners.

This is not an easy decision to make, after all, Great Wei itself is not so strong at the moment, if a large number of troops are drawn to support Longxi. What if Chu and South Korea take the opportunity to attack?

When the time comes, it will really be a loss of one or the other, one is not good, not only the Ji Wei clan in Longxi will be destroyed, but the Ji Zhao clan in Yingshui County will be destroyed.

may have noticed that Zhao Hongrun frowned and didn't speak for a long time, Zhao Yuanyan patted him on the back and said angrily: "It seems that such a national event, do you need to worry about it?" You still care about the things around you. After that, he gently admonished: "Knowing about the changes in Longxi, your father should have no leisure to worry about your affairs, you go to talk to him tomorrow, follow him, and this matter will pass, understand?" ”

Zhao Hongrun nodded, and then couldn't help asking: "According to the sixth uncle's opinion, how long can Longxi last?" ”

Hearing Zhao Hongrun mention the matter of Longxi again, Zhao Yuanyan was stunned, looked at Zhao Hongrun a few times with some inexplicable eyes, and then frowned and said, "It's hard to say...... However, the Wei clan in Longxi has lost a large number of males in the past ten years, especially in recent years, and the situation is particularly serious......"

"I see."

Zhao Hongrun was suddenly stunned. It turned out that there were wars with people from other clans in Longxi for many years, which led to the depression of the Wei family's male family, no wonder Zhao Yuanyan, the uncle of the six princes, would say 'almost annihilation'.

Think about it, if the men in the country died in the years of war, and in the end they couldn't even keep the country, would it be difficult for the women, children, old and young in the country to carry weapons to the battlefield to kill the enemy?

"If you really can't do it, let the Wei clan in Longxi also move out."

seems to say this, Zhao Hongrun can only think about it in his heart, after all, the Ji surname Zhao of Dawei comes from the Ji surname Wei of Longxi, if the Wei clan is really brought to Dawei, then at that time, who is in charge of the "Zhao family" and "Wei family"?

This is a rather acute question, you must know that the Chu State caused a series of civil strife because the relationship between the two clans, the "Mi Clan" and the "Qu Clan", which also came from the "Xiong Clan", was difficult to reconcile with each other.

I believe that most of the people of the Ji surname Zhao clan in the Great Wei will not let the people with the same surname of the Wei family set foot in Yingshui County, after all, no one is a fool.

"But do you really have to sit idly by?"

Zhao Hongrun frowned.

He knew very well that the current Great Wei, under the threat of both Korea in the north and Chu in the south, did not send troops to risk the risk of war with Yin Rong to travel long distances to support the strength of Longxi, so the best way was to let the Ji surnamed Wei clan in Longxi migrate to the Great Wei.

This method is far more secure than directly sending troops to support Longxi on the side of Daliang. Of course, it's not insignificant.

"Forget it, what do I want to do with this. These things are to be done by my father and the courtiers."

Zhao Hongrun shook his head and left these cranky thoughts behind.

The uncle and nephew walked in the dark and silent streets for a while, and finally took a carriage and came to Zhao Hongrun's Suwang Mansion.

By this time it was already dark. Zhao Hongrun found that Zhao Yuanyan's face was already a little sleepy, so he didn't drag this sixth uncle to talk all night, anyway, it will be a long time in the future.

So, Zhao Hongrun personally placed Zhao Yuanyan, the uncle of the six kings, and his retinue who didn't know if they were from Zongwei in Xiyuan.

After all, Concubine Shen Shu and Concubine Wu had already moved back to the palace, and the house in the West Garden was enough for Zhao Yuanli and his entourage to live.

After saying goodbye, Zhao Hongrun also went back to his room to rest.

As the owner of the Su Palace, Zhao Hongrun lived in the main hall of the north house of the palace, in the room on the northeast side of the inner hall.

It is worth mentioning that outside his room. He once hung a plaque of "Xiaoyao Xuan", thinking that it was a plaque he used to commemorate the "Xiaoyao Pavilion" that was once taken off by his father's imperial guards.

However, within a few days, he was taken off by Zhao Hongrun himself, after all, he didn't think that he was living a good life now, and hanging this plaque was purely blocking himself.

And in this regard, the Zongwei are accustomed to it, after all, their Royal Highness is sometimes so contradictory and entangled.

The next day, it was dawn. Zhao Hongrun got up early.

He asked the kitchen cooks to prepare a table of sumptuous dishes to make up for the banquet that had not been set up for his sixth uncle Zhao Yuanyan yesterday.

Because those who invite and those who accompany are their own people. Therefore, Zhao Hongrun did not set the banquet in the front hall, but in the side hall of the north house.

After all, he always felt that a table banquet where one person sat alone was much more distant than a table banquet where everyone sat around.

It may be that the long journey is too tiring, and Zhao Yuanli did not show up in the side hall until three o'clock in the hour.

As soon as he stepped into the side hall, Zhao Yuanli smiled and thanked his nephew, thanking him for setting up this reception banquet for him.

"Sixth uncle, you have a mouthful, let's be the cook of the Su Palace. It was borrowed from the Imperial Palace's dining room. ”

Inviting Zhao Yuanli to the seat of the main guest, Zhao Hongrun said a little smugly.

Zhao Yuanyan laughed when he heard this, and teased him: "That sixth uncle really has to see and understand." …… I hope you have a delicacy here that Uncle Six has never tasted. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun felt a little discouraged, after all, the sixth uncle in front of him. That's definitely a connoisseur of food, birds and beasts, wearing feathers and scales, what has this Uncle Six Kings never eaten?

After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun said viciously: "Roast the tail of golden scales!" …… Have you ever eaten it? ”

Zhao Yuanyan was stunned, looked at Zhao Hongrun with a smile and said, "Your father's treasure fish was so ruined by you?" With that, he suddenly changed his tone and asked, "How does it taste?" ”

Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but want to say, "It is worthy of Uncle Liuwang", he hummed and stared at Zhao Yuanling, half a burst of momentum, pouted and said: "Actually, the taste is average, similar to ordinary fish." ”

"Uncle Sixth thinks so too." Zhao Yuanli nodded.

"That's the ...... Not quite right?'

Zhao Hongrun blinked, thought for a moment, and then stared at Zhao Yuanling in disbelief, but saw this Sixth Uncle smiling strangely at him.

Zhao Hongrun immediately understood: worthy of being Uncle Liuwang!

At this moment, Zhao Hongrun invited Princess Yulong, Mi Jiang, Mi Rui, Yang Yu Xing and others who came over to have dinner together, to appear at the entrance of the side hall.

And when Zhao Yuanli saw Princess Yulong, he was obviously stunned for a moment, his eyes opened slightly, and he looked a little surprised.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun hurriedly reminded in a whisper: "Sixth uncle, she is Yulong." ”

Zhao Yuanli was silent for about a few breaths, and then his eyebrows gradually wrinkled.

"I know. …… But why does she live in your house? ”

"Uncle Liuwang...... Don't like Sister Yulong?"

Zhao Hongrun looked at Zhao Yuanling in surprise, only to see Zhao Yuanling's brows furrowed, and he seemed to have a lot of prejudices against Princess Yulong.

This is the first time Zhao Hongrun has seen Uncle Liuwang, who usually smiles, show such a clear resistance. (To be continued.) )
