At this time, Zongwei Zhongzhao and Mu Qingyi, who learned about this, came to the study together. After reading the list copied by the Green Crows, Mu Qingshai said with a smile: "Ha! This time King Qing

It's really bad luck. None of the six princes came to Daliang, but Prince Qing was the only one who was beaten by the prince for being rebellious..."

Indeed, in fact, those who have not come to Daliang for a long time include the eldest prince Zhao Hongli, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang, King Qing Zhao Hongxin, King Yi Zhao Hongyin, as well as Zhao Hongrun who is still under house arrest in Prince Su's Mansion in Shangshui County.

There were six people in total, including Zhao Hongjing, the king of Xiang, but only Zhao Hongxin, the king of Qing, was named as a traitor by Prince Hongyu.

Leave aside the eldest prince Zhao Hongli, the eldest brother who has clearly withdrawn from the fight for the right to inherit the throne and left everything to King Huan Zhao Hongxuan, leave aside the brother of Yi Wang Zhao Hongyin who has no power and no rights, and leave out the brother of King Xiang Zhao Hongjing who has no power.

Prince Hongyu had already removed the title of king from his hometown of Yangzhai last year. The only people who pose a threat to Prince Hongyu's existence are Zhao Hongxuan, King Huan, Zhao Hongjiang, King Yan, Zhao Hongxin, King Qing, and Zhao Hongrun, King Su.

four people.

Among these four people, except Zhao Hongrun, who was already in Daliang, the other three turned a blind eye to Prince Hongyu’s invitation to come to Daliang to witness the enthronement ceremony. But why did Prince Hongyu only label Qing Wang Zhao Hongxin as a traitor?

It is said that Prince Hongyu did not think that King Huan Zhao Hongxuan and King Yan Zhao Hongjiang were threats? Or, for the sake of Zhao Hongrun, did he acquiesce to the behavior of those two people?

Of course not!

At least Zhao Hongrun doesn't think so. He thinks that this is just because Prince Hongyu wanted to "kill the chicken to scare the monkeys." He vigorously suppressed Qing Wang Zhao Hongxin and put pressure on Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan and Yan Wang Zhao Hongjiang. Of course, among them, Prince Hongyu did not

I hope to face the relationship between three brothers who hold military power at the same time.

However, no matter what Prince Hongyu thought about, there was one thing he was afraid he had miscalculated, and that was Zhao Hongrun's younger brother, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan.

King Huan Zhao Hongxuan, with Luo Yao and Zhou Min as his assistants, how could he not see through Prince Hongyu's methods of "defeating them one by one" or "killing chickens to scare monkeys"? - The one who is suffering now is just Qing Qing.

King Zhao Hongxin, what’s next? Will Prince Hongyu turn his attention to King Huan Zhao Hongxuan and King Yan Zhao Hongjiang?

What's more, because of the relationship between the eldest prince Zhao Hongli, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan himself had a deep prejudice against the prince Hongyu. Therefore, Zhao Hongrun could conclude that if King Qing Hongxin contacted King Huan Zhao Hongxuan before launching an army, the latter would definitely become the leader of Qing Dynasty.

The king's allies jointly attacked Daliang and overthrew the prince Hongyu.

Maybe, King Huan Zhao Hongxuan will also drag King Yan Zhao Hongjiang into the "anti-prince" camp, and together they will attack Daliang.

In other words, no matter whether Prince Hongyu is willing or not, if he publishes this list today, he is destined to be attacked by Qing Wang Zhao Hongxin and Huan Wang Zhao Hongxuan at the same time, and there may even be more

Zhao Hongjiang, King of Yan.

And this means that the Wei State is about to face a civil war with an army of three to four hundred thousand.

When Zhao Hongrun told several clan guards about his guess, Wei Jiao and others all looked shocked and dignified.

Think about it, can the Wei State withstand such consumption in a civil war involving an army of three to four hundred thousand troops?

Maybe after a civil war, the Wei State will finally be able to secure its position as the "Hegemon of the Central Plains". Once we go back to seven years ago, Korea in the north and Chu State in the south may take advantage of the situation and invade.

The Wei State will face the danger of national subjugation again.

"That's ridiculous!"

Taking the copy of the transcript from Mu Qing's hand and looking at it again, Zhao Hongrun angrily balled it up and threw it to the ground.

It was rare for His Highness to be so angry. Wei Jiao, Mu Qing, Gao Kuo and Zhongzhao looked at each other in shock and did not dare to speak.

After a long while, Zhao Hongrun took a few deep breaths to calm down, then suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.

But when he reached the door of the study, he suddenly stopped and thought for a moment with a gloomy expression. Then he slowly walked back to his original position, lay down on the rocking chair again, closed his eyes and meditated.

It turned out that he had just planned to meet Prince Hongyu in person and order the latter to withdraw the list. But after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly thought, would Prince Hongyu follow his suggestion?

You must know that Prince Hongyu has not given Zhao Hongrun a clear explanation for the problems of the Smelting Bureau and the Weapon Casting Bureau until now.

Although he thought very well, it would be best if Prince Hongyu was willing to follow his advice. If not, it would be up to him to step in and stop this civil strife. How could Wei State, which had finally become stronger and stronger, withstand internal strife?

But the question is, what if Prince Hongyu refuses to listen to his advice and refuses to let him leave Daliang?

If so, wouldn't it be a warning if he went to meet Prince Hongyu in person?

Otherwise, leave Daliang secretly?

"..."

Lying on the rocking chair, Zhao Hongrun closed his eyes and meditated.

After a long time of burning incense, he opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Mu Qing, prepare the car, I want to meet the prince in person!"

Mu Qing nodded and was about to leave, but saw Gao Kuo grabbing Mu Qing's arm, and then lowered his voice and said to Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness, I think the most urgent task is to find a way to leave the city... I can predict that, Your Highness

If you go this time, you will definitely not see the prince, but you will be alarmed. Why not take advantage of the moment, pack up your bags immediately, and break out..."

Obviously, Gao Kuo also thought very far.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun shook his head slightly and said solemnly: "If I leave privately now, I will be morally wrong; if he doesn't see me, then I have a clear conscience... No matter what decision I make in the future,

I don’t owe him anything!”

After hearing this, Gao Kuo shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to let go of Mu Qing.

After a while, after Mu Qing prepared the carriage, Zhao Hongrun took Wei Jiao and four other clan guards and rode the carriage directly to the palace.

Just like the previous time, this time Zhao Hongrun and others were still stopped outside the palace.

The person who stopped him happened to be Shi Zhao, the commander of the Imperial Guard that day - it could be seen that the latter also felt quite sorry for having stopped Zhao Hongrun in the palace again.

Ignoring the embarrassment on Shi Zhao's face, Zhao Hongrun got off the carriage in person this time and said to Shi Zhao solemnly: "Commander Shi, please send someone to report to Chui Gong Hall immediately, saying that the king has urgent matters.

, I need to discuss it with the prince!"

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun looked so serious, Shi Zhao did not dare to neglect and immediately sent someone to Chui Gong Hall.

A moment later, Prince Hongyu learned of the incident in Chui Gong Hall.

At this time, Lin Yuyang, Yu Ziqi, and Feng Yu were no longer in the Chui Gong Hall. Instead, they were Zhang Qigong, Chen Tang and other close aides of Zhao Hongyu.

After learning about this, Zhang Qigong stroked his beard and asserted: "Prince Su must have learned about the list published today, so he came to see His Highness the Crown Prince to withdraw the list..."

After hearing this, Prince Hongyu pondered for a long time, shook his head and said: "The arrow is on the string and it has to be fired..."

Having said that, it was inconvenient for him to ignore the matter.

Since Prince Hongyu did not make any response, Zhao Hongrun waited outside the palace.

From near noon until near dusk, Zhao Hongrun repeatedly asked Shi Zhao to send people to report to Chui Gong Hall, but he still did not receive a response from Prince Hongyu.

But for some reason, Zhao Hongrun was not angry. Perhaps this was because he was already a little disappointed with Prince Hongyu.

Looking up at the dusk sky, Zhao Hongrun, who had been waiting for several hours, finally got on the carriage he came from.

"Your Highness?" Gao Kuo and Zhong Zhao, who were driving the carriage, asked for instructions.

Zhao Hongrun glanced at the palace and said expressionlessly: "Let's go back to the palace."

Watching the carriage slowly leave, the guard commander Shi Zhao shook his head slightly and sent someone to report to Chui Gong Hall again.

"Your Highness, Prince Su has left."

After hearing the news, Prince Hongyu suddenly stopped while he was reviewing the memorial.

From the side, Zhang Qigong was also secretly sighing.

At this moment, even as the chief aide around Prince Hongyu, Zhang Qigong was secretly amazed at the character of King Su - he originally thought that King Su Zhao Hongrun would be angry after learning about the list.

Leave the city secretly.

For this reason, he had already prepared for it.

Unexpectedly, His Highness Prince Su would come to personally advise the Crown Prince Hongyu, even if they knew his thoughts about leaving. He was really aboveboard.

But praise was a compliment in his heart, and there were some words that he still had to say: "Prince Su is leaving. After returning to the palace, he will pack his bags and leave Daliang immediately. The prince will make a decision early in the morning."

Hearing this, a look of struggle flashed in Prince Hongyu's eyes. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Zhou Yue, send the imperial guards... to surround Prince Su's Mansion. No one can enter or leave without my order!"

"Yes." Zong Wei Chief Zhou Yue sighed secretly, clasped his fists and left.

Looking at Zhou Yue's leaving figure, Prince Hongyu felt a trance in his heart.

He knew that after the imperial guards surrounded Prince Su's Mansion, there would be no room for maneuver between him and his eighth brother.

"but……"
