After hearing this, the eunuch Tong Xian stopped talking.

Seeing the somewhat lonely expression on his father's face, Zhao Hongrun shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Father, I am not discussing with you, I am just informing you... Now that I have informed you, I will leave.

"

"This bastard!"

After hearing this, Emperor Wei felt his teeth itching with hatred, and the loneliness in his heart was immediately replaced by helpless depression.

However, to the surprise of Emperor Wei, when leaving the inner palace, Zhao Hongrun suddenly stopped, looked back at his father and said: "In fact, I know a lot about the evil things my father did, but this

It does not affect the fact that in my heart, my father is still a... wise king!"

After saying that, Zhao Hongrun turned around and left the Manna Hall.

"..." He stared at the place where Zhao Hongrun last stayed with his mouth agape. After a while, Emperor Wei turned around with a surprised look on his face and asked the eunuch Tong Xian: "Tong Xian, what did that scoundrel say just now?"

The wrinkled face of the great eunuch Tong Xian was full of smiles: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that Your Majesty is a wise king in his heart!"

"Ha, hehehe..."

Emperor Wei shook his head dumbfounded, then snorted and said calmly: "Huh! I have been in office for more than twenty years and have been diligent and diligent. Of course I am a wise king. Do I need to be evaluated by that bad man?"

Seeing the deep joy on the face of His Majesty in front of him, the eunuch Tong Xian smiled knowingly and said nothing much.

After a while, Zhao Hongrun returned to Chui Gong Hall.

Because he got his father's approval, Zhao Hongrun's mood improved a lot.

At this time, Lin Yuyang, Yu Ziqi, Feng Yu, Xu Guan, Li Liang, Du You, Jie Ziu, Wen Qi and others were sitting in the inner hall of Chui Gong Hall, reviewing the memorials on Zhao Hongrun's behalf - although Zhao Hongrun had issued an edict to strengthen it.

The functions of the six departments of the imperial court, but in a short period of time, the imperial court may not be able to adapt to this new system. Therefore, the current task of these court officials in the Chui Gong Hall is to review these memorials on behalf of Zhao Hongrun. If there is anything urgent, please ask Zhao Hongrun for instructions.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

As for the future, after the six ministers of the imperial court gradually adapt to the new system and gradually share the burden of the Chui Gong Hall, the several inner court officials in the Chui Gong Hall will gradually transform into the supreme decision-makers, such as balancing certain tasks.

The pros and cons of some established national policies, reforming backward systems, formulating Wei's strategic policies, etc.

It seems that "Inner Dynasty" is a double-edged sword, but Zhao Hongrun is not worried at all that he will be ignored, because the officials he selected from the Inner Dynasty are not from the same faction.

For example, Lin Yuyang, Yu Ziqi, and Feng Yu, three former ministers of Zhongshu, focused on the "theoretical school". They often put forward good suggestions, but sometimes good suggestions may not be applicable. Therefore, in the past, it was necessary for the Emperor Wei and the old Tai

His son Zhao Hongyu made the final decision; while Xu Guan, Li Liang, and Du You, the Minister of Rites, who is currently the head of the six departments of the outer dynasty, belong to the "practicalists". Compared with the best political decrees, they prefer to choose the most applicable ones.

Government decree.

It is for this reason that Yu Ziqi, the former Zhongshu Zuocheng, and Li Liang, the former Minister of Household Affairs, had political conflicts within a day after they became colleagues in the inner court of Chui Gong Hall.

Compared with these two parties, Jie Ziyu and Wen Qi represent the prince Zhao Run. However, currently, due to their lack of relevant experience, Zhao Hongrun has been placed at the bottom of the table, allowing them to learn from their colleagues.

"Everyone, everyone."

Just when the officials of the inner court were immersed in reviewing the memorials, Zhao Hongrun stepped in.

It has to be said that everyone present felt a little upset when they saw His Highness the Crown Prince, and there was a vague illusion that they had been deceived. It was promised that the inner court would assist the prince, but as a result, everyone in the inner court was immersed in suffering in Chuigong Hall.

Do it, but His Highness the Crown Prince has disappeared somewhere... Even if you don't do anything, you are still sitting in the palace and pretending!

Perhaps because they all had some 'grievance' in their hearts, everyone in the palace put down the brushes in their hands with a tacit understanding and looked at the Crown Prince without saying a word.

Being stared at by several resentful eyes, even Zhao Hongrun felt a little uncomfortable. After coughing, he said: "Ahem, everyone, please rest for a moment. In response to the civil unrest that occurred in Daliang a while ago... I have made a decision on my side.

Decide."

After hearing this, the ministers in the palace were shocked, and their eyes were not as resentful as before. After all, making a judgment on that rebellion was indeed a top priority.

"Your Highness, please give me your instructions." Du You, the Minister of Rites, said.

After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun repeated what he had just said to Emperor Wei in the Manlu Palace: "I believe that the fault of this civil strife does not lie with King Yong or King Qing, but with the remnants of the Xiao family..."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is trying to protect King Qing... No, is he trying to protect His Highnesses King Yan and King Huan?"

Everyone in the hall was an astute person, and they immediately grasped Zhao Hongrun's thoughts.

"The remnants of the Xiao family..."

Du You, the Minister of Rites, stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Does His Highness the Crown Prince want to reveal Xiao Luan's identity?"

In fact, after the Zhongyang Rebellion a few years ago, Zhao Ying and Zhao Que, the adopted daughters of King Yi Zhao Yuanli, had already painted Xiao Luan's appearance. After that, the imperial court issued a wanted order for Xiao Luan based on this portrait.

, but at that time, the court did not announce Xiao Luan's exact origin.

Now, since His Highness the Crown Prince intends to make Xiao Luan the culprit of the civil strife, the court has no choice but to announce Xiao Luan's identity as the "former Crown Prince of Nan Yan Marquis" and reveal some of Xiao Ni's actions over the years.

, only in this way can it be convincing.

But in this case, it is very likely to reveal some of the things that His Majesty had painstakingly covered up back then.

Thinking of this, Du You inevitably had some worries in his heart.

As if he had guessed Du You's worries, Zhao Hongrun comforted him and said, "I have just discussed this matter with my father, and my father has given me full authority to handle this matter..."

After hearing this, Du You, the Minister of Rites, no longer had any worries, nodded and said: "In this case, I kindly ask you to draft an edict immediately."

Zhao Hongrun nodded and said with a serious face: "In the proposed edict, Xiao Luan, the prince of Nan Yanhou, instigates civil strife among the kings and wants to overthrow the country. He is an unforgivable evil and everyone will be punished. He is wanted by the whole country, regardless of his life or death! ... Hiding Xiao Luan

Those who are found guilty will be punished as traitors; if anyone obtains Xiao Luan's head, regardless of high or low birth, innocent or not, he will be made a noble prince and rewarded with one hundred thousand gold!"

"Regardless of high or low birth, innocent or not?"

The ministers in the palace were slightly stunned, and they suddenly understood: His Highness the Crown Prince's move was probably to induce Xiao Ni's members to betray Xiao Luan.

"As for Prince Qing..." Zhao Hongrun paused for a moment and continued: "Li Ling was out of his wits and was instigated by traitors. He launched a war indiscriminately and plunged Daliang into turmoil. The crime is also unpardonable. He cut off the king's title for the people... I thought that he was betrayed by traitors.

Use it, let’s keep it in the genealogy for the time being, and keep it in the clan house for twenty years as a warning to others!”

After a pause, he continued: "The King of Yan, Zhao Jiang, and the King of Huan, Zhao Xuan, did not know what was going on, so they launched a war indiscriminately and reduced their rank to one rank. They ordered Zhao Jiang and Zhao Xuan to guard the border for ten years to make up for their mistakes."

Hearing this, all the ministers in the palace looked at each other and smiled knowingly: Sure enough, His Highness the Crown Prince is here to protect King Yan and King Huan.

No, for such a big thing as raising an army to attack Daliang, in the end, except for King Zhao Jiang of Yan, who demoted his title to "Marquis of Yan", and King Huan, Zhao Xuan, to "Marquis of Huan", these two highnesses did nothing - what, guarding the border for ten years?

Zai? Come on, Zhao Hongjiang and Zhao Hongxuan were princes who volunteered to guard the border for Wei. Is this considered punishment?

"Your Highness, where is the King of Nanliang?"

Du You, the Minister of Rites, waited for a long time and heard nothing more, so he asked.

Zhao Hongrun thought for a moment after hearing this.

In the civil strife in Daliang this time, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, also had a big problem - this does not refer to the fact that this person assisted Qing Wang Zhao Hongxin in the rebellion, but to Sun Mou, Marquis of Huzhou, Feng Shu, Marquis of Yuanling, Zhao Jian, Marquis of Wanlong, and Marquis of Gaoyang.

Jiang Dan, Pingcheng Hou Li Yang, Kuangcheng Hou Jiyan and several other Qingwang nobles, as well as their bodyguards, died "inexplicably" during the rebellion.

According to the results of the Zongfu's inquiry, these nobles died in the hands of the Imperial Guards, but such words would only deceive those who did not know.

Zhao Hongrun would not believe it at all.

Are you kidding me? Will these marquises personally go into battle to fight against the imperial guards? These people are nobles. How many of the princes and nobles in the Kingdom of Wei can fight?

Rather than saying that this group of people were unfortunately killed during a fight with the imperial guards, Zhao Hongrun believed that it was Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, who ordered the anti-rebellion army to kill these nobles for some reason.

After all, according to the confessions of some imperial guards, these nobles followed the Southern Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo into Daliang City.

Of course, to be honest, Zhao Hongrun didn't care why Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo killed those nobles. After all, he not only had no friendship with the murdered nobles, but even had some grudges.

The problem is how to deal with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang.

To be honest, with Zhao Hongrun's current power and status, it is actually a very easy thing to want Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Southern Liang, to die.

But, is it a pity to do so?

After all, apart from him, who would rarely have the chance to lead an army again in the future, the only two commanders in Wei who were best at leading troops in battle were King Yu of Yu, Zhao Yuanqi, and King of Nanliang, Zhao Yuanzuo. Apart from that, even if

Sima An is guarding the west of the river, Wei Ji, the lord of Lintao, is guarding the east of the river, and the general Shao Hu is guarding. Compared with the first two, I am afraid they are still a little bit behind.

What's more important is that King Yu Zhao Yuanqi's health has always been poor and he cannot sustain a long war.

In other words, the only commander that Wei can dispatch in the future who has the ability to "destroy a country" is Zhao Yuanzuo, the King of Nanliang.

However, Wei State is destined to have a larger-scale war with South Korea and Chu State in the future.

Then the problem comes.

Regarding Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, should he kill him or keep him?

From the perspective of the former "King Su Zhao Run", it would be better to get rid of people like the King of Nan Liang as soon as possible. After all, what the King of Nan Liang Zhao Yuanzuo can do, he "King Su Zhao Run" can also do, and even

It can be done better than the former.

But now, Zhao Hongrun is the prince of the country. If nothing unexpected happens, he has basically lost the possibility of personally leading the army. In this case, the value of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, has been reflected.

What's more important is that if Zhao Hongrun orders the execution of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, Wei will actually lose not only the latter, a commander with the ability to "destroy a country", but also at least Pang Huan, Meng Luo and others.

The generals who can stand alone will even disintegrate the elite suppressing rebel army. This is a big loss for the Wei State who is currently conquering Song County and is about to conquer the Hetao area.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun frowned and said: "Let's put aside the treatment of King Nanliang for the time being... Gao Li sent someone to inform the Zongfu and asked the Zongfu to send someone to bring King Nanliang into the palace. I want to see him."

"yes!"

The young eunuch Gao Li responded.

As the prince, Zhao Hongrun decided to give Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, a chance for the overall interests of Wei State.
