Chapter 133: The Controversy of Moving the Capital (2) [Two in One](1/2)
"Concubine Shu...does she really want to leave Ningxiang Palace to my concubine?"
That night, in the inner room of Ningxiang Palace, Su Ran took the time to secretly ask Zhao Hongrun, her face full of surprise.
Zhao Hongrun stroked Miss Su's soft hair and said with a smile: "You asked me this question repeatedly when we were eating just now."
"I just... just can't believe it."
Su Ran put her hand on her chest with a happy expression on her face.
To be fair, the furnishings and decorations in Ningxiang Palace are actually very simple. In terms of luxury and sophistication, they are not as luxurious as the "Youzhi Palace" where Chen Shuai once lived. However, Ningxiang Palace is the bedroom of Zhao Hongrun's adoptive mother, Concubine Shen Shu.
Zhao Hongrun has many memories, so except for Mi Jiang who is destined to move to Fengyi Palace, the other girls are very eager for this palace.
But in the end, Concubine Shen Shu decided to leave the palace to Su Ran. She probably wanted to use this move to make up for her daughter-in-law. After all, Su Ran was the first woman in his son's life. However, due to various reasons, Su Ran was taken over by Mi instead.
The two younger daughters, Jiang and Qin Shaojun, took the lead.
"As long as you don't dislike the old and simple furnishings in this palace." Zhao Hongrun shrugged and said, "If there are any furnishings that you don't like, I will help you replace them."
"How could it be?" Su Ran blinked a pair of smiling eyes and said, "These are all things left by my mother-in-law, and I am very happy..."
"You should speak to my mother, smart boy." Zhao Hongrun teased, stretched out his hand to scratch the bridge of Miss Su's nose, making the latter's pretty face turn red, and asked cowardly: "Where will Your Majesty plan to stay tonight?"
?”
Of course Zhao Hongrun understood the deep meaning of Su Ran's words. After deliberately teasing her, he shook his head and said: "It's inappropriate... Although you are about to become the master of Ningxiang Palace, my mother has not yet
How can I move out of Ningxiang Palace?
Can you stay here? This is not in line with etiquette... There will be many opportunities in the future." After saying that, he gently patted the back of Miss Su's hand and warned: "I'll go to the Ganlu Hall later. As for you, in the past two days,
Stay with my mother more..."
When he said this, Zhao Hongrun felt a little disappointed. After all, he still failed to convince Concubine Shen Shu in the end - Concubine Shen Shu still insisted on moving out of the palace to keep company with Concubine Wu Gui, so that the latter would not feel lonely alone in Daliang.
In fact, to be more realistic, after the concubines moved out of the palace, they actually lived in the temple area close to the palace, which was not very far away. However, in the final analysis, it was not as convenient as living in the palace. In short, when Zhao Hongrun went to pay his respects to his mother in the future,
It will probably take at least twice as much distance as before.
"Concubine, please save it." Miss Su nodded.
At this moment, the voice of Gao He, the eunuch who was accompanying Zhao Hongrun, came from inside and outside: "Your Majesty, Prince Yan is asking for an audience."
"Prince Yan? Second uncle?"
Zhao Hongrun was stunned, and secretly murmured in his heart: It's so late, what is the second uncle doing in such a hurry to come to the palace?
After thinking about it carefully, he immediately thought of the reason: the news about moving the capital must have been leaked, and the second uncle Zhao Yuanyan, who was the Zongzheng of the clan, learned about it.
Shaking his head, Zhao Hongrun simply said goodbye to Concubine Shen Shu and the female family members, and left Ningxiang Palace.
When he walked out of the main hall of Ningxiang Palace, he saw his second uncle Zhao Yuanyan standing in the open space outside the main hall, followed by two Zongwei Yu Linlang carrying lanterns.
"two……"
Before Zhao Hongrun could raise his hand to say hello, Zhao Yuanyan stepped forward, bowed his hands and saluted, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"I wonder what the second uncle is referring to?"
Zhao Hongrun wanted to pretend to be stupid and fool him, but unfortunately Zhao Yuanyan was too serious and didn't understand. He said seriously: "The old minister is referring to the matter of moving the capital... Your Majesty, it has been more than two hundred years since the founding of the Wei Dynasty in Liangdu.
It has been the construction of successive generations of kings and kings that has enabled our country to develop into such a prosperous place today. It is like this ancestral foundation cannot be abandoned."
Maybe it was because Zhao Yuanyan was too excited, or maybe Concubine Shen Shu and the other girls in the main hall knew that the former was coming, so they all came to the door of the main hall and looked at Zhao Hongrun and Zhao Yuanyan who were standing outside the hall.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun smiled bitterly and said: "Second uncle, it's not appropriate to say this here..."
Zhao Yuanyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded clearly and asked: "I wonder if your Majesty will stay at Ganlu Hall or Zhaowu Hall tonight?"
"Does this mean you want to follow me?"
Zhao Hongrun glanced at Zhao Yuanyan with a strange expression, and finally decided to stay at Ganlu Palace.
Speaking of which, Zhao Hongrun has been living in Ganlu Hall in recent days. Maybe he felt empty after the death of the late king Zhao Si, so he stayed in Ganlu Hall for a while. When he had free time, he looked around to see where the late king Zhao Si was.
Calligraphy and painting written during the one or two years of training in the Manlu Hall.
Those calligraphy and paintings do not have any special educational significance. They were just written and painted by the late king Zhao Si as he pleased. But for Zhao Hongrun, this is indeed excellent as it allows him to recall the things of the late king.
As expected, Zongfu Zongzheng Zhao Yuanyan finally followed Zhao Hongrun to Ganlu Hall.
Zhao Hongrun had nothing to do with this second uncle who was serious, rigid, pedantic, and stubborn. After all, this second uncle was indeed a loyal minister. Although he had some conflicts with the royal family in some concepts and political opinions, he was indeed worth it.
Respect.
Inviting Zhao Yuanyan to the study room of Ganlu Hall, Zhao Hongrun ordered the eunuch Gao He to ask for tea. Then he said to Zhao Yuanyan: "Second uncle, about the matter of moving the capital, I originally planned to mention it in the morning meeting tomorrow.
The officials will discuss it and make a final decision. What do you think? It's getting late today. My second uncle will go back to his house to rest. We will discuss this matter in detail in the morning tomorrow..."
Zhao Yuanyan nodded and said, "Old minister, I obey."
And just when Zhao Hongrun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up to see him off, he saw Zhao Yuanyan change the topic and said: "But before that, please allow me to speak from the bottom of my heart."
"have to!"
Zhao Hongrun was secretly distressed and could only smile bitterly and said: "Second uncle, please speak."
Zhao Yuanyan straightened his posture and said seriously: "This matter started more than two hundred years ago..."
"Fuck—trough—!"
Zhao Hongrun's eyes widened.
However, it was too late to stop Zhao Yuanyan at this time, because the latter was completely immersed in the glorious achievements of the ancestors of the past generations who struggled to build the country, and began to talk endlessly about how difficult it was for the ancestors to build the country.
The cause was that the Longzhong Zhao family in Longxi was at odds with the Wei family. Therefore, the young head of the Longzhong Zhao family and the founding king of the Wei Kingdom, "Prince Zhuang", resolutely led his people to move out of Longxi and move toward the Central Plains.
When passing through the Qinling Mountains, due to a misunderstanding in language communication, the Ji Zhao family first turned against the people living in the Qinling Mountains, the ancestors of today's Qin State, and the two sides started a fierce battle.
Since they were defeated by the Qinling people, and the Ji Zhao family refused to surrender and begged for help from their own Wei family in Longxi, they had no choice but to take a roundabout route and pass through the Fangling area in the south of the Qinling Mountains.
During this period, the Zhao family fell into a situation of food shortage. In desperation, they had no choice but to find a way to trade with the Ba people in the south, hoping to trade some grain from the latter. Unexpectedly, the Ba people saw that the Zhao family was in a difficult situation.
He actually added insult to injury and launched a war in an attempt to rob the Zhao family into slaves, causing heavy casualties to the Zhao family.
This is the "Hate of Fangling"!
At this critical moment, the leader of the Qinling people at that time learned that the conflict between them and the Zhao family was just a misunderstanding, so he resolutely extended a helping hand. Not only did he help the Zhao family repel the Ba people, but he also took the Zhao family into the Qinling Mountains.
Within the territory, the harmony between Qin and Zhao emerged.
For more than twenty years, the Zhao family lived in the Qinling Mountains, married each other and became brothers with the Qinling people. Therefore, when the Zhao family later left the Qinling Mountains and continued eastward, there were still some descendants of the Zhao family.
People stayed in the Qinling Mountains and it has been passed down to this day. For example, Zhao Ran, who is now the chief concubine of the Qin State, has the blood of the Zhao family.
After that, the Zhao family moved eastward to Sanchuan. With the support of the Qinling people, they defeated the aborigines in Sanchuan at that time. After more than ten years of accumulating strength, the Zhao family took advantage of the Liang State in the Central Plains and Zheng
When the four kingdoms of Song, Wei and Wei were fighting against each other, they suddenly sent troops out of Sanchuan and annexed Zheng and Liang with a thunderous force. They officially established their capital in Daliang, the capital of Liang, and named the country "Wei".
"... After that, Daliang was established as the capital, ending the decades-long difficult migration journey of my ancestors in the Wei Dynasty." Zhao Yuanyan finished this sentence with an intoxicated look on his face.
Maybe it was due to the sudden silence. Zhao Hongrun, who was drowsy with his hand on his chin, suddenly became excited and became much more awake. He clapped his hands and praised: "It's amazing, it's amazing. Our ancestors are really amazing."
I saw Zhao Yuanyan's face full of excitement, nodding his head and saying: "After that, I, the Wei Dynasty, will be able to gain a foothold in the Central Plains..."
Just as he said this, Zhao Hongrun interrupted him and said: "Second uncle, how about we stop here today? You see, you have talked about decades of things in one breath. Why don't you take a break and talk about it another day?"
"
"But what follows is what I want to express from the bottom of my heart." Zhao Yuanyan frowned slightly and said, "I believe that after hearing the deeds of our ancestors, your Majesty will be inspired. As the saying goes, a lesson can be learned from the past and a guide for those who will follow..."
"..."
Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth. He didn't know if it was because he was too sleepy. He was always very sharp-tongued, but he couldn't get a word in at the moment.
When is it?
Zhao Hongrun mouthed questions to the eunuch Gao He who was standing by.
At this moment, the great eunuch Gao He also yawned constantly, but still stood beside Zhao Hongrun with energy. After noticing Zhao Hongrun's mouth shape, he also responded with the mouth shape: Haishi.
"Good guy... I kept talking for an hour and a half."
Zhao Hongrun never expected that his second uncle, who had always been a rigid person, would turn out to be a talkative person when it came to mentioning the achievements of his ancestors. And he was not a talkative person in the ordinary sense.
That night, Zongzheng Zhao Yuanyan of the Zongfu told Zhao Hongrun about the hardships his ancestors of the Zhao family went through in establishing the country, starting from more than two hundred years ago to more than a hundred years ago.
During this period, Zhao Yuanyan kept expressing to Zhao Hongrun how important Daliang was to his Wei State, and what other meanings it had.
It's a pity that after hearing this, Zhao Hongrun was really sleepy. With his dull and straight eyes, he could only see his second uncle's lips moving over there, but he didn't listen to a single word of what was specifically said.
.
When Zhao Hongrun regained consciousness again, it was already noon the next day. He obviously had a super-superior memory, but Zhao Hongrun really couldn't remember how he escaped last night.
Regarding this, he asked the eunuch Gao He, but he didn't expect that the boy said he didn't remember after scratching his hair for a long time.
Just as the master and servant were thinking carefully about the nightmare last night, Yan Shun, the chief guard of the Imperial Guard Department, came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Yan wants to see you."
"He, why is he here again?"
Zhao Hongrun looked at Gao He, and both master and servant looked a little scared.
Unfortunately, Zhao Yuanyan was Zhao Hongrun's elder after all, so Zhao Hongrun could not leave him outside the palace, so he had to summon him against his will.
To be continued...
