Chapter 107: Two Kings Meet [Two in One](1/2)
"Huh?"
Seeing Zhao Zhuo and Han Chao, they looked awkward and remained silent. Zhao Hongrun smiled and teased: "What? Your king didn't explain it when he came here?"
"This kind of thing..."
Zhao Zhuo and Han Chao smiled bitterly. They thought, how could their young and wealthy monarch reveal such a thing to them.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun smiled and joked: "As a minister, can't you even figure out the thoughts of your own monarch?...Then what are you doing here?"
Zhao Zhuo and Han Chao were speechless. In fact, they were also a little confused. What on earth were they doing?
Seeing that he had met the two Korean envoys many times, Zhao Hongrun did not make things difficult for them. After making a few jokes, he ordered the soldiers to bring food and wine.
During the banquet, Zhao Hongrun asked Zhao Zhuo and Han Chao insinuatingly "how Han Wangran regained the royal power." After all, he was quite interested in the Korean monarch who was the opposite age.
Logically speaking, it is not easy to disclose such important domestic matters at will, but since it was Wei Gongzi Run who asked, Zhao Zhuo and Han Chao thought about it for a while, and then told Zhao Hongrun about the general process.
Especially Han Chao, he told Zhao Hongrun everything he knew about the situation, which surprised Zhao Zhuo.
This is no wonder. After all, after Zhao Run conquered Handan, Han Chao wanted to die to save his family. Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongrun was very tolerant to him and never offended him or his family. This kindness will be remembered by Han Chao.
In the heart.
Therefore, as long as it was not his Korean secret, he did not mind revealing it to the young master of Wei.
"Huh?"
After listening to Han Chao's story, Zhao Hongrun touched his chin and said with great interest: "You mean, Han Ran, with the help of only Ma Kuo and a few soldiers, cleverly designed the arrangement between Wu'an Shou Zhu Man and
The dispute between Kang Gong and Han Hu reaped the benefits..."
"Exactly." Han Chao nodded and said.
"Hmm." Zhao Hongrun chuckled. After a while, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Come on, come on, let's have a drink."
Seeing that Zhao Hongrun had ended the topic, Zhao Zhuo and Han Chao didn't care and rushed to have a drink with the young master of Wei State. For a while, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves harmoniously.
After the banquet, Zhao Hongrun summoned Mu Qing, the Zongwei, and ordered him to take Zhao Zhuo and Han Chao to the wing of the City Guards Mansion to rest, while he himself returned to the study and carefully recalled what Han Chao had told about Han Wangran.
The process of regaining power.
"Is it a fluke?" He murmured to himself, and then he shook his head.
He did not think that Han Wangran's success in regaining the royal power was a fluke.
It is undeniable that the key to Han Wangran's success in seizing power this time was that neither Wu'an Shou Zhu Man nor Kang Gong Han Hu took it to heart. But on the other hand, isn't this Han Wangran's ability?
I have endured humiliation, kept a low profile for more than ten years, and finally waited for today's opportunity. This forbearance is really making people feel numb.
Let me ask you, how many more than ten years can this life last?
At least, Zhao Hongrun thought that he couldn't bear it - his personality led him to choose radical but risky strategies.
"Your Highness." Concubine Zhao Que brought a cup of tea to Zhao Hongrun.
Zhao Hongrun picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and suddenly said: "Qier, I suddenly want to put Han Wu back, what do you think I should do?"
"Huh?" Zhao Que was stunned. Although she was not good at this kind of thing, she had been following Zhao Hongrun these days and heard many things happening here, so she was able to talk to Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness, you think
, Han Wangran poses a greater threat to our Wei Dynasty?"
"Hmm."
Zhao Hongrun nodded slowly, holding a tea cup and sitting at the table, meditating.
Seeing this, Zhao Que did not dare to disturb him and sat quietly beside him, so as not to disturb his highness's thinking about national affairs.
At the same time, something big happened in the Yuyang Army's military camp.
When Ma Kuo arrived at the camp, he presented an edict written by Han Wangran, summoning Yuyang to guard Qin Kai, acting county guard Sima Shang, Beiyan guard Le Yi, Dangyin Hou Han Yang and his father Shanggu guard Ma She and others, and announced
Changes in Handan.
After listening to Ma Kuo's story, Qin Kai, Sima Shang, Le Yi, Han Yang, Ma She and others were all dumbfounded.
Is Wu'an Shou Zhu Man dead?
Duke Kang and Han Hu also died?
Their young monarch, who had never been taken seriously, actually regained control of the royal power?
Faced with this shocking news, even Beiyan Shou Leyi was shocked and speechless.
As for Dangyin Hou Han Yang, his eyes widened in shock, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"My cousin...he's dead?"
After hearing this, Ma Kuo glanced at Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, and said in a calm tone: "Master Han Yang, your cousin Kang Gong wanted to take advantage of Marquis Li's absence to seize power and kill General Zhu Man, the guardian of Wu'an.
Has been executed by the king, General Zhao Cong..."
At this point, he spread out the edict and continued: "I came here today on the order of the king... The king has ordered that before rescuing Lihou, all the troops here should guard their horses from Shanggu.
Master She is restrained..."
After hearing this, all the generals in the tent looked at Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, and then turned their attention to Ma She, the guardian of Shanggu.
You must know that Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, temporarily took over the position of commander-in-chief of this army. He was personally appointed by Lihou Han Wu when he was captured by Wei General Wu Ji. But now, Han Wangran, who has regained power, intends to let Ma She, the Shanggu Shou, take charge of the army.
, is there any mystery in this?
"Kuo'er!"
Shanggu Shou Mashe shouted softly with a calm face.
As if he had guessed what his father was thinking, Ma Kuo spread his hands and said, "Father, this is what the king wants."
Hearing this, Mashe, the guardian of Shanggu, was speechless.
At this time, Ma Kuo turned to look at Dangyin Hou Han Yang and said apologetically: "As for Mr. Han Yang, although Mr. Kang's improper actions should have nothing to do with Mr. Jun, after all, Mr. Kang is your uncle.
The king hopes that Master Han Yang will temporarily hand over the military power in his hands until the court thoroughly investigates the matter and confirms that the prince has nothing to do with it..."
As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers came out from behind Ma Kuo. These soldiers were all guards from Handan.
Seeing this, the expressions of the generals in the tent changed slightly: It is obvious that they want to depose Han Yang, the Marquis of Dang Yin, and support Ma She, the guardian of the valley, to take over.
"Hahaha, hahahaha——"
Suddenly, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, laughed. Then he turned around and looked at Ma She, the guardian of the upper valley, with a cold expression. He said calmly and sarcastically: "Master Ma She, congratulations."
"Dangyin Hou, you..." Shanggu Shou Mashe's expression changed slightly, but he didn't know what to say.
Dangyin Hou Han Yang sighed sadly and murmured: "I am the nephew of Duke Kang. On the day Lihou was captured, I should have reported the news to my uncle, but I didn't... because I believed that only Lihou
Only then can you lead me to Korea
To overcome this catastrophe, and to face the national crisis, we must work together. However, I never expected that at this critical moment, there would still be people thinking about internal strife, and this person turned out to be someone I never expected.
…”
Having said this, he looked at Shanggu Shou Ma She again and said coldly: "Master Ma She, I, Han Yang, misjudged you."
"Lord Han Yang..." Shanggu Shou Mashe opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Although it is said that it was his son Ma Kuo who helped Han Wangran regain power this time, it cannot be denied that Ma She did have this intention, otherwise he would not have sent his son to inform Han Wangran after Lihou Hanwu was captured by the Wei army.
Therefore, Ma She had no way to defend herself against the accusations made by Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin.
At this time, Han Yang, the Marquis of Dangyin, turned to Ma Kuo and said with a smile: "Han Yang, are you willing to step down from your position and hand over your military power... Oh, if I don't agree, I will definitely become a traitor and traitor that is reviled by the whole country, right?" "When he said this, his face suddenly straightened, and he asked seriously: "I, Han Yang, are only concerned about one thing right now. How does the king want to solve the matter of Lihou? Do you want to welcome Lihou back, or..."
He did not continue speaking, but he believed that all the generals in the tent could understand what he meant.
Facing the inquiry of Dangyin Hou Han Yang, Ma Kuo said seriously: "The king has sent Zhao Zhuo and Han Chao as envoys to Wei Gongzi Run to negotiate with him about this matter."
"I hope so." Dangyin Hou Han Yang chuckled, and then left the commander's tent.
At this time, Ma Kuo turned to look at Qin Kai and said apologetically: "General Qin Kai, the king also ordered you to temporarily hand over military power. I'm sorry."
Qin Kai, the guard of Yuyang, also chuckled, then clasped his fists and said: "Qin Kai, I will obey the king's order."
The death of Kang Gong Han Hu was unexpected to him, but he was not surprised by Ma Kuo's words. After all, he was a general promoted by Kang Gong Han Hu. Now that Kang Gong Han Hu was beaten as "taking advantage of others" "It is a great evil to pursue personal interests due to national calamity", then Qin Kai will naturally be implicated.
It is inevitable to remove one's position and hand over military power.
only……
Qin Kai glanced at Ma She, the Shanggu Shou, inadvertently. Although he didn't say anything, there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Han Yang, Marquis of Dangyin, and Yuyang guarded Qin Kai. These two people left the commander's tent one after another and were taken into custody by the Handan guards brought by Ma Kuo. As a result, in the tent, only Beiyan guarded Leyi and Sima Shang, the acting county guard. As well as Shanggu Shou Ma She and three other people.
After getting acquainted, Le Yi and Sima Shang also left.
Seeing the way these colleagues who had shared weal and woe a while ago looked at him today, Shanggu Shoumashe felt very uncomfortable.
Especially what Han Yang said before leaving, deeply hurt him.
However, at this time, Ma Kuo came to his father excitedly, cupped his hands and said a few words with a smile.
Due to the extreme mood swings, Ma She didn't even pay attention to what his son said. He only knew that the several armies that had united to besiege Wei Gongzi Run had now become fragmented and no longer a threat to the Wei army.
For this, he wanted to scold his son Ma Kuo, but Ma Kuo finally helped Wei Wangran regain his power and accomplished what Ma She, Li Mu, Bao Yuan and others had never been able to do. Ma She was left speechless.
Therefore, with a tangled mood, Ma She took a deep look at his son and left silently.
