Jie Ziyu was not surprised that Zhao Hongrun chuckled and walked into the inner hall of Ganlu Hall. After all, the new king in front of him was not someone to be fooled, and it was very likely that he had already guessed his thoughts.

Of course, he, Jie Ziu, has nothing to hide from others, so naturally, there is nothing to be afraid of.

After adjusting his clothes in the hall, Jie Ziguo followed Zhao Hongrun into the inner hall.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun had already walked to the window of the inner hall, opened the window and felt the cool night breeze, as if he wanted to use this cool night breeze to dispel some of the worries in his heart.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of my suggestion?"

Walking behind Zhao Hongrun, Jie Ziyu cupped his hands and asked.

Zhao Hongrun turned his head slightly, glanced at Jiezi Ou from the corner of his eye, and said in a helpless tone: "Jiezi, you haven't given up yet?"

Jie Ziyu blinked his eyes and said with a bit of confusion on his face: "Your Majesty said it, I don't understand..."

"Don't understand? I see you understand very well!"

Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes speechlessly.

In fact, Zhao Hongrun had a vague feeling when Jie Ziu proposed "moving the capital to Handan". Although Jie Ziu immediately changed his mind and said it was just a joke, Zhao Hongrun did not think so.

Who is Jie Zizi? Fundamentally speaking, he is a very stable person. How could he make such a joke?

It can be seen that Jie Ziu deliberately proposed "moving the capital to Handan" that day, just to see the reaction of everyone in the palace at that time, including the sentence "go further" - this young minister from Chu State had very shocking ambitions

.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Hongrun asked: "Meson, do you want me, the Wei Dynasty, to unify the Central Plains?"

Jie Ziyu was stunned for a moment. At first he planned to pretend to be stupid and cover it up, but he suddenly noticed Zhao Hongrun's serious-looking expression.

, to establish an unprecedented and immortal hegemony!... This is my only long-cherished wish in this life!"

"..."

Zhao Hongrun subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Jie Ziu. He found that Jie Ziu's eyes were very hot, and there seemed to be a bit of fanaticism in this heat.

He suddenly thought that most of the ministers he trusted now turned their allegiance to him after he established his status as prince. The previous ones, such as Wen Qi, Zhang Qigong, Kou Zheng, etc., also had their own purposes.

, only Jie Zizi took the initiative to defect to him - even when he was still rejecting the idea of ​​inheriting the throne, he was already making suggestions for him.

As the saying goes, flowers planted intentionally do not bloom, but willows planted unintentionally create shade. Zhao Hongrun, who was thirsty for talents back then, would never have thought that if he failed to seek talents, he would just unintentionally move more than a million Chu people into Wei.

Among these people, there is Jie Zizi, a genius with extraordinary intelligence.

"It's not time yet..." Zhao Hongrun said calmly as he glanced at the night sky outside the window.

"I understand." Jie Ziyu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you know that when I learned that your Majesty changed "Wende Hall" to "Zhaowu Hall", my heart was so excited that I had no intention of sleeping for a whole night... However,

We, the Wei Dynasty, need to accumulate strength now, so Your Majesty changed the name of the reign to "Xing'an"..."

"..." Zhao Hongrun didn't know what to say when he saw Jie Ziyu slightly opening his mouth.

In fact, to be fair, the reason why Zhao Hongrun designated the reign name as "Xing'an" was because he felt that the Wei State had sent too many troops to fight in the past ten years. Even though the country opened up new territories, in fact the living conditions of the people did not improve.

Improvement, even, on the contrary, there is a slight decline.

Therefore, he decided to recuperate for a few years and devote himself to improving the national strength and the living conditions of the people in the country. However, when these words came to Jie Zidi's mouth, it was as if his actions were purely to prepare for the annexation of the Central Plains countries in the future.

Is it easy to annex other countries and unify the Central Plains?

As long as the Wei State shows any intention in this regard, it will instantly become the public enemy of the world. Even the current allies Chu and Qin will probably fall out with the Wei State immediately - this is a hegemonic road destined to be lonely.

How can it be so simple for one country to conquer the world with its own strength?

Even Zhao Hongrun himself has no confidence in this.

Of course, he can place his hope in his descendants, such as his son Zhao Wei, and Zhao Wei's future sons. Starting from him, he will gather the power of several generations of kings of the Wei Kingdom to achieve this goal step by step. This is a good idea.

It's a solid approach.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun has not had such long-term ambitions. Like the late king Zhao Si, he is also a very pragmatic person. At the moment, he only hopes to strengthen the national power of Wei and improve the living conditions of the people in the country. As for annexation

If there is an opportunity for all countries to unify the Central Plains, he will certainly not let it pass, but if there is no suitable opportunity, he will make the same decision as his father: to place his hopes on the next generation.

But somehow, Jie Ziyu's confidence in him was stronger than his own confidence in himself.

"Jiezi, come have a drink with me for a while."

After looking at the meson owl for a few times, Zhao Hongrun said.

After hearing this, Jie Zizi bowed his hands and said, "I obey."

Within a moment, the eunuch Gao He ordered the palace servants to bring some wine, vegetables and dried fruits. Zhao Hongrun and Jie Ziyu sat across from each other at the table by the window, chatting while having a drink.

"Have you guessed that Prince Rui and I will break up today?"

After taking a sip of wine, Zhao Hongrun asked calmly.

Jie Ziyu reached out to pick up the wine pot and filled the wine bottle for His Majesty in front of him. At the same time, he said: "The Rui King Zhao Zhao is a man who values ​​love and justice. I have heard that when King Lu Xi of Qi was alive, he treated his son-in-law very well.

Just like a parent and son, who also entrusted the State of Qi to him when he passed away, how could Prince Rui abandon the State of Qi so easily?"

"..." Zhao Hongrun took a sip of wine and remained silent.

To be honest, King Lu Xi of Qi really had nothing to say about his son-in-law Zhao Zhao. Let me just talk about one thing. In the past, the Flying Bear Army of Qi was personally controlled by the kings of Qi. However, in this generation, King Lu Xi of Qi chose to

The military power was handed over to his son-in-law Zhao Zhao. You must know that the status of Feixiong Army in Qi State is even worse than that of Wei Wujun in Wei State.

Will the State of Wei hand over Wei Wujun to a prince from another country? It is absolutely impossible!

Even if Wei Wujun is not unique in the Wei State, neither the former king Zhao Si nor the current king Zhao Run can hand him over to an outsider - Shao Hu, who is now the chief general of Wei Wujun, is the King of Yu, Zhao Yuanji.

The Zong Wei Chief is worthy of trust, but when this veteran passes away in the future, Zhao Hongrun will still take back Wei Wujun and ask his close ministers to take over, such as Lu Mu, Mu Qing, etc.

After all, "Wei Wujun" means too much to the state of Wei.

Therefore, when they learned that Lu Xi of Qi State had handed over the Flying Bear Army to his son-in-law Zhao Zhao, the Wei State was also shocked - this is why Zhao Zhao was hated by many people in Qi State. This guy was really disliked by Qi State.

Wang Luxi's favor.

But on the other hand, this is enough to reflect the courage of King Lu Xi of Qi. If he had not favored his son-in-law Zhao Zhao in every possible way, how could he have firmly tied his son-in-law Zhao Zhao to Qi after his death?

From a certain perspective, this can be regarded as "a gentleman can be bullied." As long as you find the right way, a gentleman with an upright personality like Zhao Zhao is actually very easy to manipulate.

Of course, this is just Zhao Hongrun's personal speculation, a slightly malicious speculation. After all, his sixth brother Zhao Zhao is not a fool. How could he not be able to tell whether King Lu Xi of Qi treats him sincerely?

For example, King Lu Xi of Qi said on his deathbed: If the young master Bai can teach me, then I will support him; otherwise, I will carefully teach you and Kui Ji’s son to inherit the royal line.

This sentence alone is enough to sink Zhao Hongrun's malicious speculation about Qi Wang Lu Xi.

After a long time, Zhao Hongrun said in a deep voice: "I am going to detain it..."

The meson owl nodded clearly.

At this time, I heard Zhao Hongrun sigh slightly and said as if talking to himself: "But it doesn't make it surrender, right?"

Jie Ziwei chuckled and shook his head.

In fact, this is how you treat a gentleman like Zhao Zhao. If you find the right way, he will not leave even if ten oxen pull him. But if you find the wrong way, the other party will definitely rather die than surrender.

"Actually, Prince Rui's matter can be easily solved..." Jie Ziyu said again.

However, after hearing this, Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes at Jie Zizi, and said angrily: "It's almost enough... You talk about turning Qi into Wei. If I really did that, do you really think my sixth brother would do that?"

, does he still have the dignity to live in this world?”

Just now, Zhao Hongrun was too lazy to pay attention to Jie Zizi, and walked into the inner hall with a chuckle. It was precisely because of this reason.

If the army of Wei State really destroyed Qi State, Zhao Zhao, as a Wei man, would definitely feel unworthy of the entrustment of Qi King Lu Xi before his death, and the only way to escape would be to die. Therefore, what Jie Ziu said at that time would not happen at all.

As long as the Wei army captured Linzi, Zhao Zhao would definitely commit suicide and there would be no possibility of "letting him stay in Daliang forever".

The reason why Jie Zizi said that was just to instigate him once again to embark on the path of annexing other countries and unifying the Central Plains. With Zhao Hongrun's wisdom and wisdom, how could he be deceived by Jie Zi?

However, at this time, Jie Ziyu waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, Wei Chen is not referring to the joke just now..." As he said, he said seriously: "Forcibly detaining King Rui is not a wise move. I think,

Your Majesty might as well rely on the words of the late king and tie them to the Wei Dynasty..."

"..."

Zhao Hongrun took a deep look at the meson owl.

Of course he understood what Jie Ziyu meant, which was nothing more than using the name of his father. For example, he lied that the late king Zhao Si still missed Zhao Zhao before his death, and that he eventually passed away without being able to see his long-lost son, etc.

Increase Zhao Zhao's guilt and start from this aspect to make Zhao Zhao change his mind.

It is undeniable that this is the best way to deal with a gentleman like Zhao Zhao.

In fact, Zhao Hongrun had already thought of this method, but why didn't he use it? The reason was that he didn't want Zhao Zhao, the sixth brother, to live with the guilt of their father all his life.

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun didn't say a word, Jie Ziyu understood something in his mind after being stunned for a moment. He nodded and said, "It seems that your Majesty has already thought of it, but it's just useless..." At this point, he paused.

He paused, shook his head and said, "But other than that, there is no other way."

"..."

Zhao Hongrun drank wine silently and did not speak.

The next day, Zhao Zhao took Kui Ji, Tian Wan and Zhao Liang's brother and sister, under the leadership of the Imperial Guard general Mu Qing, to the temple next to the palace to visit his mother Wu Guifei.

Concubine Wu Gui was naturally very happy about the arrival of her son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter. She cried with joy and let Concubine Shen Shu persuade her.

Zhao Zhao was also very happy, and while he was happy, he was also a little surprised.
