At the beginning of July, because of the relationship between the Wei clan in Longxi, the Wei court was controversial. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Without the approval of the Wei court, the Wei clan in Longxi took over Xingyang, Mixian, Wusha, Yanxian, Ancheng counties, and even Chenggao Pass, which made the court officials very unhappy.

Those county towns are left aside, Chenggao Pass is the western barrier of the Wei State.

Well, the original intention of the construction of Chenggao Pass was to guard against the people of Sanchuan, but with Zhao Hongrun's pacification of Sanchuan County, the relationship between Wei and the people of Sanchuan has increased dramatically, and the strategic position of Chenggao Pass is indeed no longer as important as before, but the problem is that it is the military fortress of Wei after all, and the Wei clan of Longxi, as a guest from afar, cannot take advantage of the fact that Zhu Hai, the general of the Chenggao Army, is in the north and the Chenggao Pass is insufficient, so he can take over Chenggao Pass.

On July 5, Wei Tianzi summoned the four imperial court offices, namely the Military Department, the Ministry of Rites, the General's Mansion and the Zongfu, to discuss this matter in the Vertical Arch Palace.

In fact, to put it bluntly, there were only five people attending this discussion meeting:

Li Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zheng Chao Lidong of the General's Mansion, Zhao Yuanyan of the Zongfu Sect, and one of them was invited back to Daliang by Zhao Yuanyan, Zhao Hongrun's younger uncle Zhao Laituo.

In addition, three ministers of Zhongshu observed, namely Lin Yuyang, the left Cheng Yu Ziqi of Zhongshu, and Feng Yu, the right Cheng of Zhongshu.

At the beginning of the meeting, the attitude of Li Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhengchao Lidong, the general's mansion, was very clear, believing that the move of the Wei clan in Longxi was inconsistent with the etiquette, indicating that the imperial court should make a dissatisfied voice, while Zhao Yuanyan and Zhao Laituo of the Zongfu side were silent and did not express any opinions.

It may be the relationship between the Wei State in the past three years in foreign wars and many victories, although Li Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, still has a deep grudge against a certain King Su, but it is undeniable that this old man has a lot of confidence this time, as if he also put on a posture that my Great Wei has never been afraid of war, so that Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stared at him and smiled secretly.

But it's funny, it's funny, it is undeniable that this is what the military department should say, but it's a pity that the status of the military department is very embarrassing now, and the authority overlaps with the general's mansion.

"Alright, alright. …… I have summoned you here today, not to teach the Wei clan of Longxi. ”

It may be that seeing that the topic is gradually changing in a bad direction, Wei Tianzi stopped it in time and turned the topic back: "I just want to ask you Aiqing, what kind of attitude should my Great Wei have towards those guests from afar. ”

Hearing this, the hall fell silent for a moment, because this question was really troublesome.

To sum up, there are three points:

First, whether to welcome the king of the Wei clan of Longxi who is currently living in Ancheng, to be precise, the monarch and father of the Wei state of Longxi.

Second, who will greet them? Court? Zongfu? Or Wei Tianzi himself?

Thirdly, what kind of specifications will be used to greet it?

As for the various problems after this, Wei Tianzi didn't even have the mind to mention it at the moment - for example, now that the Wei clan in Longxi has arrived in Wei, there are two kings in Wei, how to solve this problem?

As the saying goes, the rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and Wei Tianzi probably also wants to solve this matter step by step, so the first thing he has to do is to get a tacit understanding with the Wei clan in Longxi, and not to make the guests and hosts discord at the beginning.

In this way, Li Feng and Chao Lidong shut up with amusement, after all, once Wei Tianzi decided to face the Wei clan in Longxi with a friendly attitude, then this matter has nothing to do with the military department and the general's mansion for the time being.

"Du Aiqing, you speak first." Wei Tianzi began to roll call.

Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, pondered for a moment, and said: "The minister thinks that with the specifications of the monarch, my Ministry of Rites should take the lead to greet him." …… As for the ceremonial officials, the minister recommended Master Zongzheng as the officiating officer, and His Royal Highness King Su as the deputy envoy. ”

I have to say that Du You's considerations are still quite insightful and self-aware, after all, in the face of the distinguished guest of the Wei family in Longxi, even if he is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites as the officiating officer, his status is insufficient, so he recommended Zhao Yuanyan, who is now serving as the Zongzheng of the Zongfu, as the officiating officer, which is decent.

However, regarding the recommendation of the deputy envoy, the person recommended by Du You is very interesting, not an outsider, but actually Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su.

Now Da Liang, who doesn't know that His Royal Highness King Su is a grumpy young man, and the famous saying that my Great Wei has never been afraid of war was first put forward by His Royal Highness.

Let this irascible King Su go down to greet the Wei clan in Longxi, I believe that scene must be very interesting.

No, after hearing these words, Zongfu Zongzheng Zhao Yuanyan's complexion changed a little.

However, having said that, Du You's words are enough to reflect his attitude towards the Wei clan in Longxi - if it is a friend, I will treat Wei as a guest; If it's a bad relative, then fight!

I have to say that Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, although he is a civil official, his blood is not reduced back then, and he is even tougher than Li Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

"The deputy envoy recommended by Du Aiqing is very interesting......

Wei Tianzi glanced at Du You with a smile, rolled his eyes, turned his head to Zongzheng Zhao Yuanyan and said, "How about the second brother Wang?" ”

Zhao Yuanyan glanced at Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and bowed his hand and said, "The minister recommended Yuan Yan to serve as the deputy envoy." …… Yuan Yan has visited Longxi, and I believe that he has had contact with the local Wei family, and he can be more or less familiar, as for Hongrun...... This son is too short-tempered, and I'm afraid it will cause trouble. ”

As soon as the words fell, Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, shook his head and said: "Lord Zongzheng's words, I don't dare to agree with Du. …… Although His Royal Highness King Su is irritable and seems to be difficult to get along with, but it is just jealousy and hatred, and there has never been a bully, if His Royal Highness King Su really has a dispute with the Wei clan in Longxi, it must be that His Royal Highness is not used to the other party's actions. ”

That's what I'm afraid of......

Zhao Yuanyan and Zhao Laituo secretly smiled bitterly.

On the side, Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi watched quietly and did not speak.

They knew that the words of Du You and Zhao Yuanyan were not a question of who was right and who was wrong, and the words of the two reflected the position and attitude of the Ministry of Rites and the Zongfu towards this matter.

The Ministry of Rites obviously looked at this matter from the perspective of the Wei State, and recommended a certain His Royal Highness King Su as the deputy envoy, maybe Du You deliberately wanted to ask His Royal Highness King Su to seize the favorable opportunity to make trouble when facing the Wei of Longxi, frustrate the momentum of the other party, and make the other party understand a truth: This is the Wei State, the Wei State of the Zhao family, not the Wei State of the Wei family of Longxi!

As for the Zongfu, it stands on the position of clan friendship and tries not to conflict with the Wei family in Longxi as much as possible.

"Lin Aiqing, what do you think?" Wei Tianzi asked coldly.

Lin Yuyang was stunned, looked at Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, on the left, and at Zhao Yuanyan, the sect of the Zongfu on the right, and then secretly looked at Wei Tianzi, and saw that His Majesty's smile was very playful, and he smiled bitterly in his heart: How can Your Majesty throw this thorny question to me?

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Yuyang replied in a decent manner: "Du Shangshu and Yan Wang Ye have their own opinions, and the ministers think they all make sense. …… It's better to invite Prince Yu and His Royal Highness King Su to be deputy envoys. ”

All are deputy envoys...... Does this make a difference?

Zhao Yuanyan frowned and glanced at Lin Yuyang when he heard this, although he knew that this Zhongshu Ling was on a neutral position, but the problem was that he didn't want that irascible nephew to be the deputy envoy at all.

But he can't say anything, after all, Lin Yuyang is obviously standing in neutrality, and he still opposes it, which is a bit unreasonable.

"Then follow what Lin Aiqing said."

Wei Tianzi said with a smile, which made Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, smile, and at the same time made Lin Yuyang secretly smile bitterly.

He knew that he had been pitted by His Majesty in front of him.

Half an hour later, the news spread in the imperial court: with Zongfu Zongzheng Zhao Yuanyan as the main envoy, Yiwang Zhao Yuanyan and Su Wang Zhao Hongrun as deputy envoys, went to Ancheng to meet the Wei clan in Longxi, and welcomed the monarch of the Wei clan in Longxi to Daliang, and then Wei Tianzi personally led the officials of the court and the central government to go out of the city for ten miles to greet the monarch.

Such an arrangement does not hurt each other's face, which can be described as quite safe.

But when the news reached King Su's Mansion, it made His Royal Highness King Su not very happy.

He discussed with his third uncle Zhao Laiyu alone in the study, during which he said dissatisfiedly: "The old man wants me to be a wicked person......

The third uncle, Zhao Laiyu, smiled and said nothing.

The old and treacherous third uncle, how could he not see the thoughts of Wei Tianzi and Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?

In fact, the reason why he chose this cousin in the first place was nothing more than to see that no one was stunned by this cousin, if he turned his face on the spot, he dared to slap the table in the vertical arch hall, this courage, there was really no one in the entire Wei Kingdom several times.

"Isn't that what you want?"

It may be that seeing Zhao Hongrun complaining constantly, Zhao Laiyu smiled and said with relief: "The old man said it at the beginning, and you also know in your heart that when this Longxi Wei clan arrives in our Great Wei, something will definitely happen, at this time, there must be someone to represent my Zhao family and voice dissatisfaction with those families." You are young, but you have a high position, enough status, enough qualifications, as long as you don't go too far, you can still get back after all. …… Young people, whether they are willful or short-tempered, they are inevitable after all, don't you say? ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun looked at the third uncle angrily, how could he not guess what the third uncle had in mind.

"After talking for a long time, didn't you use me as a gunman?" He said with a roll of his eyes.

"Who made you the right fit?" Zhao Laiyu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You have a unique advantage...... Young. If it is your uncle's generation, or the old man's generation, once you say something, it will be difficult to take it away, but you are different, no matter what you say, you can come back on the grounds that you are young and ignorant of things, do you say that you are the most suitable person? ”

As he spoke, he saw that Zhao Hongrun's face was still unswerving, so he changed his tone and said, "Hongrun, you may not understand the fear of the old man's generation for his family...... It can't be said to be fear, it should be said to be admiration and longing, after all, my Zhao family's genealogy, which is continued under the genealogy of the Wei family in Longxi, is like a tree, our Zhao family is now a branch, and the Wei family is the root, people, can't do without the root......"

Speaking of this, he sighed.

Zhao Hongrun pondered for a moment when he heard this, and asked, "Since that's the case...... Then it's up to my temperament? ”

"It's up to you." Zhao Laiyu said with a smile: "This time, you are willful. ”

"Be willful and ......willful," Zhao Hongrun muttered a few words, and after grinning, he turned his head to Wei Jiao, the chief of the sect guard, and said: "Wei Jiao, summon the Yanling army and the Shangshui army, each send 30,000 people to Daliang, and then ask the cavalry of northern Sichuan to stand by in Yishan...... Let's salute before we fight! ”

"Yes!"

At this time, looking at Zhao Laiyu again, he was already dumbfounded.

Depending on your temperament, you will directly transfer the army? (To be continued.) )
