I don’t know if he saw through Zhao Hongrun’s thoughts, but Emperor Wei said in a deep voice: “Whether it was Xiao Ni who sent someone to send the secret letter to Hongli, or whether the queen sent someone to kill Sima Song, I know it.

…”

"Father, do you know that Queen Wang sent imperial guards to kill Quliang Hou Sima Songman's family?" Zhao Hongrun was even more surprised.

Emperor Wei glanced at Zhao Hongrun after hearing this. Although he never spoke, his expression seemed to say: Is there anything in this palace that I don't know?

"...Then Father never thought of intervening?" Zhao Hongrun asked with a strange expression.

Emperor Wei was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "Since he is Xiao Ni's remnant, he deserves to die. But I didn't expect that the people sent by the queen would actually conflict with your little crow..."

Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this. After all, it was precisely because the black crows under his command killed all the guards sent by Queen Wang that Queen Wang and her people had no time to cover up the matter. This led to "Queen Wang secretly protecting King Yong"

” was further confirmed by Xiang Wang Zhao Hongjing, so that the latter had doubts about the relationship between Queen Wang and Yong Wang Hongyu.

Looking at Zhao Hongrun with a stern expression, Emperor Wei continued: "...I was quite surprised at the time. Xiao Luan wanted to overthrow both King Qing and King Yong. What on earth did he want to do? In view of this situation,

I then stood still and waited to see what happened..."

When saying this, Emperor Wei glanced at Zhao Hongrun, his eyes flashing slightly.

In fact, he stood still at that time, not because the situation was unclear, but because Xiao Luan's behavior coincided with an idea deep in his heart.

Of course, he would not reveal this to the son in front of him.

"...I know Xiao Luan, he is also a very utilitarian person, and he will never target without aim. Since Xiao Luan has changed the method of conspiracy, there must be a reason. At that time, I was guessing that there must be someone among you brothers.

Tong Xiaoluan..." After a pause, Emperor Wei took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "At first I thought it was Hong Jing, but then I thought about it carefully, Hong Jing is not enough to make Xiao Luan change the way of revenge against me, then, or

It could be Hong Yin..."

"..." Zhao Hongrun's eyes were a little erratic, because he didn't expect that his father could see so clearly.

"...Hong Yin, this city is not inferior to Hong Jing. In terms of you, you are far inferior to him." Looking at Zhao Hongrun, Emperor Wei said seriously: "I think back then, I treated you three.

People owe something, I believe in the hearts of the three of you

There must be resentment, you are fearless, no matter in front of or behind the scenes, you have a lot of complaints about me..." At this point, he glanced at Zhao Hongrun again and said jokingly: "You always felt that I was not close to you back then.

But you haven’t thought about your own words and deeds, have you?”

"..." Zhao Hongrun blinked, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Father, don't interrupt, let's talk about Lao Qi first."

After hearing this, Emperor Wei put away the ridicule on his face, frowned slightly and continued: "But Hong Yin is different from you. No matter whether he is in front of him or behind, he never says anything wrong about me, which once made me very suspicious.

Did Concubine Xu tell him the truth...Later I asked Concubine Xu privately, and Concubine Xu swore she had never mentioned it. Thinking about it this way, it was probably Hong Yin who noticed something himself..."

This is not surprising, for example, for the eldest prince Zhao Hongli, even though Queen Wang has fulfilled her duties as a mother, the former has noticed the slightest connection between Queen Wang and him from the subtle expressions and movements when Queen Wang treats him since he was sensible.

There was so much alienation, not to mention Emperor Wei, the father who failed to fulfill his father's responsibilities in front of the seventh Zhao Hongyin.

Suddenly, Emperor Wei said very abruptly: "Okay, I'm tired and want to rest for a while. Hongrun, please go back."

"..." Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.

Indeed, this topic should be stopped at this point. If we continue talking about it, it will involve the treatment of Yi Wang Zhao Hongyin.

More importantly, it will expose Emperor Wei's attitude towards Zhao Hongyin as one of the "schemers" of this civil strife - it is obvious that he actively waited for Zhao Hongyin to jump out on his own, and then killed him on the charge of "treason".

, would you still seriously hand over the country and the country to this son who has an unclear relationship with Xiao Luan?

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun nodded, cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I will leave first."

Emperor Wei nodded, and then he suddenly said: "Hongrun, you are too impatient. You should sharpen your mind in the future... Do you like fishing?"

"Fishing?" Zhao Hongrun shook his head: "I don't like it."

"Hehehe." Emperor Wei smiled and said: "In that case, I will teach you the essence of fishing... If you want to catch big fish, you must first have bait, and secondly, you must ensure that the bait is always

On your fishing line..."

"……I see."

Zhao Hongrun understood immediately and said pointedly: "I will give it a try, but compared to fishing, I prefer... hunting!"

Emperor Wei was stunned for a moment, then a somewhat understanding smile appeared on his face: "Hunting... ha, it suits your temperament. You go ahead."

"My son, please retire."

Two days later, the imperial court announced the final verdict of Chui Gong Hall regarding the "Three Kings Rebellion".

In this edict, Xiao Luan for the first time assumed his true identity as "the former Crown Prince of Nan Yanhou", and as the biggest mastermind and mastermind behind this civil strife. Chui Gong Palace offered an unprecedented reward, and the whole country wanted Xiao Luan, regardless of his life or death.

During this period, the imperial court also released the attitude of Prince Zhao Run: Anyone who hides Xiao Luan will be regarded as an enemy by this palace!

This sentence soon spread throughout the Central Plains by merchants from various countries doing business in Bolangsha River Port.

Qing Wang Zhao Hongxin, who was originally the "chief conspirator", became the first criminal under Xiao Luan. He was demoted to a commoner and ordered to be imprisoned by the clan for twenty years as a warning to others.

In addition, King Zhao Jiang of Yan was demoted to "Yanhou" and ordered to lead the Shanyang army to return to Shanyang immediately and guard Hedong for ten years to make up for his mistakes; King Huan Zhao Xuan was also demoted to "Huanhou" and was also ordered to lead the army

The First Army of the North returned to Anyi to make up for their mistakes later.

The most shocking thing is Prince Zhao Run's treatment of Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo.

Many people thought that Prince Zhao Run would never let go of the Southern Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo, who had a long-standing grudge with him, and would definitely take the opportunity to kill and exile him.

Unexpectedly, Prince Zhao Run only demoted the Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo to "Nanliang Marquis". Although he also reduced the military power of the Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo, he promoted "Pang Huan" as the chief general of the anti-rebellion army.

"...What is the difference between this and the Southern Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo personally taking charge of suppressing the rebel army?"

The ruling and opposition parties found this inconceivable.

As for the rest of the nobles, such as Sun Mou, the Marquis of Huzhou, Feng Shu, the Marquis of Yuanling, Zhao Jian, the Marquis of Wanlong, Jiang Dan, the Marquis of Gaoyang, Li Yang, the Marquis of Pingcheng, Ji Yan, the Marquis of Kuangcheng, etc., the imperial court stated that since these local marquises died in civil strife, they would no longer be held accountable.

After that, the eldest sons of these local princes were allowed to inherit the throne.

As for Yi Wang Zhao Hongyin, the court did not mention it, but the Zongfu punished him with a three-month grounding.

After the edict was announced, there was a lot of discussion between the government and the public.

It's not that Prince Zhao Run's punishment was too severe, but he felt that such a punishment was too light - even for Prince Qing Zhao Hongxin.

For a time, court officials felt that although Prince Zhao Run was said to have a bad temper, facts proved that he was a very tolerant prince.

The sons of Huyou Hou Sun Mou, Yuanling Hou Feng Shu, Wanlong Hou Zhao Jian, Gaoyang Hou Jiang Dan, Pingcheng Hou Li Yang, and Kuangcheng Hou Ji Yan are also grateful for this - after all, they know that their father is

They did participate in the rebellion, and in compliance with the patriarchal and national laws, even if the prince Zhao Run deprived their family of their titles or even killed them, it would not be an exaggeration. However, the prince Zhao Run pardoned them.

It has to be said that this move has greatly improved Zhao Hongrun's reputation among the nobility in the Kingdom of Wei. It feels that the Crown Prince has finally realized his "royal" status, instead of siding with the common people as he once did.

Be enemies with them (nobles).

Afterwards, Zhao Hongrun sent Zongwei Gao Kuo to issue an edict to King Qing Zhao Hongxin.

To Gao Kuo's surprise, Qing Wang Zhao Hongxin was not as hysterical as he imagined, nor did he resist. He accepted the edict very calmly - but this calm letter made Gao Kuo feel more like he was deeply saddened.

die.

"Baby, is he taking pity on me?"

After receiving the edict, King Qing Zhao Hongxin, no, it should be said that Zhao Hongxin, who is now a commoner, asked Gao Kuodao this way.

However, before Gao Kuo could say anything, Zhao Hongxin waved his hand and said indifferently: "Forget it, none of this is important anymore."

At this moment, he could finally understand for himself why the eldest prince, Zhao Hongli, was so free and easy to leave everything to his ninth son, Zhao Hongxuan, and then left Daliang and faded out of the government.

However, compared to Prince Chang, there is still an evil spirit in Zhao Hong's confidence that has not been eliminated.

"Yes." Gao Kuo nodded.

At this time, Zhao Hongxuan read the edict carefully, frowned and asked: "Wait a minute, why didn't I see the treatment of Lao Qi in this edict?"

"This is the reason why Gao came here in person." As he spoke, Gao Kuo whispered a few words in Zhao Hongxin's ear, which made the anger on Zhao Hongxin's face fade away a little.

He asked curiously: "Are you sure about this?"

Having said that, before Gao Kuo could speak, he changed his attitude: "Wait, that's fine, no matter whether Xiao Ni takes the bait or not, that bastard will have to live in fear and uneasiness for the rest of his life! ... I only have one

Ask him to stay in Daliang!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks so too," Gao Kuo said.

After hearing this, Zhao Hongxin smiled with revenge and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, very good..."

Seeing this, Gao Kuo said sternly: "The place of confinement was selected in Xiaohuang County after discussions between Chui Gong Palace and the Zongfu. There are troops of His Highness Prince there, which can guarantee His Highness's safety and not be harmed by Xiao Ni...

Is there anyone else Your Highness Xin wants to see before going to be punished?"

The faces of Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo and his mother Sun flashed in Zhao Hongxin's mind. After a long sigh, he shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to see anyone at this moment." After that, he looked at Gao Kuo and said, "You

Let's go. Tell Lao Ba when I go back that I will remember his friendship..."

Gao Kuo nodded, clasped his fists and retreated.

The next day, Zhao Hongxin went to Xiaohuang County to be tortured under the custody of Zongwei Yulinlang without disturbing anyone.
