————The following text————

On the day when he went to the Ganlu Palace to ask Emperor Wei about the life experience of King Yi Zhao Hongyin, after Zhao Hongrun returned to the Prince's Mansion, his disciples submitted an invitation from Prince Yong's Mansion.

This is a "white matter" post, the content of which is nothing more than inviting Zhao Hongrun to attend the funeral at Prince Yong's Mansion the next day.

Recalling the incident of King Yong Zhao Yu setting himself on fire in Jinxiu Palace, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but feel a little sad.

From the perspective of interests, King Yong Zhao Yu did nothing wrong. How many kings and princes in the past dynasties were not trying to seize power? But from the standpoint of "the entire Wei State", because King Yong Zhao Yu's move would trigger a civil war, so

Zhao Hongrun insisted on opposing it-for example, this time

Although the specific number of military casualties and economic losses have not yet been calculated, it can be expected that the losses caused by this civil war, which affected at least 300,000 troops, are probably no less than those of the Wei State in the past one or two years.

Losses in the war with the Beibo Army of Song County.

This is pointless internal friction.

After studying the invitation in his hand for a while, Zhao Hongrun arrived at Mi Jiang's bedroom in Beiyuan.

At this time, Mi Jiang had just put her fully breastfed son Zhao Wei to sleep when she saw her husband walking into the house. Through some incredible telepathy, she noticed that her husband was in a heavy mood.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun told Mi Jiang about the invitation, and then said: "I will come to pick you up after the morning meeting tomorrow. At that time, you, Que'er, and Wei'er will come with me to Yong.

Watch the ceremony at the palace."

Mi Jiang nodded and said: "It should be."

Although she was also very dissatisfied with some of the actions of King Yong Zhao Yu during his lifetime, now that King Yong Zhao Yu has passed away, these grievances have naturally been wiped out. Furthermore, Princess Cui of King Yong was also very close to her and Zhao Que in the past, although it was for

They are trying to win over each other, but there is also a hint of friendship in them.

Mi Jiang couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart when she thought that Princess Cui, Princess Yong, had lost her husband and had to raise several underage sons of Prince Yong Zhao Yu alone.

The next day, Zhao Hongrun went to the palace to preside over the morning court. Later, after having breakfast in Wende Hall, he also went to Chui Gong Hall to sit for a while.

Around Chen time, Zhao Hongrun estimated that it was almost done, so he greeted the ministers in the inner court, left the palace, and returned to the Prince's Mansion.

At this time, the Crown Princess Mi Jiang and the concubine Zhao Que got up early because they were told about this by Zhao Hongrun last night. They also prepared funeral gifts and were waiting in the palace.

Picking up Mi Jiang, Zhao Que, and their youngest son Zhao Wei, Zhao Hongrun and their entourage went to Prince Yong's Mansion in the city.

Less than half an hour later, the carriage slowly arrived in front of the gate of Prince Yong's Mansion.

After getting off the carriage, Zhao Hongrun looked around and saw that the door of Prince Yong's Mansion was completely deserted, and couldn't help but secretly shake his head.

I remember that when King Yong Zhao Yu was in power, I don’t know how many people came to visit this palace every day. Especially when King Yong Zhao Yu held a banquet in the palace, the not-so-small open space in front of the palace gate was filled with carriages. It was called

This is a place where people have no place to stand.

But now, it is so deserted outside this palace.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but shook his head and murmured: "The world is so cold..."

After hearing this, Zongwei Lu Mu and Zhou Pu looked at each other.

In their view, the reason why the gate of Prince Yong's Mansion is so deserted is that "the world is so cold" is only one aspect. The more important reason is that many people are waiting for the "signal" - that is, Prince Zhao Run's view of Prince Yong, Zhao Yu, the old prince

attitude.

After all, many people know that Prince Zhao Run, the "former Highness of Prince Su", was placed under house arrest in Prince Su's Mansion by hundreds of guards sent by King Yong Zhao Yu a while ago. Who dares to bet that His Highness the Crown Prince will be loyal to King Yong

Is there no hatred?

If you attend the funeral of King Yong, but end up offending the now powerful Crown Prince Zhao Run, wouldn't it be worthless? - So, this is human nature.

When Zhao Hongrun helped Mi Jiang, who was holding his youngest son Zhao Wei, to step out of the carriage, at the gate of Prince Yong's Mansion, two servants wearing white clothes and tied with white silk ribbons on their heads had already noticed the sudden arrival of the car outside the mansion.

The carriage, and the word "Prince's Mansion" that was brightly written on the outside of the carriage.

"His Royal Highness Prince Su? No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

The two servants were startled, and one of them rushed into the house.

Not a moment later, when it was decided that Zhao Hongrun, leading Mi Jiang, Zhao Que and all the clan guards, had just stepped up the steps in front of the gate of King Yong's Mansion, Zhou Yue, the chief of the clan guards of King Yong Zhao Yu, hurried out of the mansion with a few servants.

He came out and saluted Zhao Hongrun with clasped fists: "Zhou Yue, I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Because his mood was not high, Zhao Hongrun just nodded, said hello to Zhou Yue, and then walked into the house.

During this period, one of the servants brought by Zhou Yue sang loudly and shouted: "His Royal Highness, please bring the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince into the mansion to observe the ceremony."

"His Royal Highness, please bring the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince into the mansion to observe the ceremony."

"His Royal Highness, please bring the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince into the mansion to observe the ceremony."

With the announcements one after another, the news quickly spread to the inner courtyard.

At this time, in the hall of the inner courtyard, the coffin of King Yong Zhao Yu was parked in the center of the hall.

It is said to be a coffin, but there are no bones of King Yong Zhao Yu in the wooden coffin. It only contains the clothes that the latter wore most often. After all, King Yong Zhao Yu lit a fire and burned himself in the Jinxiu Palace, waiting for the Jinxiu Palace to collapse.

Afterwards, the bones of His Highness the Prince were nowhere to be found. Not to mention the bones, not even the ashes were found.

"Prince?"

Princess Cui, who was kneeling in front of the coffin of King Yong Zhao Yu, couldn't help but raise her head.

Compared with the magnificence of this girl when she became the crown princess, Cui's eyes are red at this moment, her face is a little dull, and she has aged a lot in just a few days.

"..."

At this time, there was an old man holding a cane standing in the house. Hearing this, he subconsciously glanced outside the house.

This old man was the father of Empress Wang, the head of the country, the real grandfather of King Yong Zhao Yu, and the head of the Wang family in Huanshi County, Wang Yu.

I have to say that this old man is a bit interesting. When his grandson Zhao Yu, King of Yong, came to power, instead of recognizing him, he led the Wang family to defect to King Huan Zhao Xuan - now he has to call him Huan Hou Zhao Xuan. But now, after learning that his relatives

His grandson King Yong Hongyu passed away. When many officials in the court were concerned about Prince Zhao Run's attitude and delayed coming to watch the ceremony, this old man was the first to arrive at King Yong's Mansion.

At that time, even Prince Yong's concubine Cui Shi, his brother-in-law Cui Yong, Zong Wei Chief Zhou Yue and others were also quite surprised.

"Sister, I'll go meet the prince."

Cui Yong, the younger brother of Princess Yong's Cui family, informed her sister and hurriedly left the mourning hall.

After Cui Yong walked out of the mourning hall, he didn't go far when he saw Prince Zhao Hongrun leading the Crown Princess Mi Jiang and his concubine Zhao Que, accompanied by a group of Zongwei.

Cui Yong walked a few steps, raised his hands and saluted: "Cui Yong, pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhao Hongrun had a very good relationship with Cui Yong. He greeted Cui Yong by his nickname and said, "Brother Cui, there is no need to be polite. Today, Brother Er Wang is the biggest."

Cui Yong nodded, raised his hand and said, "Prince please, Crown Princess please."

Under the leadership of Cui Yong, Zhao Hongrun and his party came to the mourning hall.

Since Zhao Hongrun's identity was no longer what it used to be, even Princess Yong's concubine Cui personally came to greet her, causing Zhao Hongrun to wave his hands repeatedly and say: "Sister-in-law Wang, please don't be formal."

While chatting with Mr. Cui, Zhao Hongrun looked around the mourning hall and looked at the people in the mourning hall.

To be honest, there were only two or three kittens in the mourning hall at this time. In addition to the guards of King Yong Zhao Yu, there were only a few people from the Cui family, such as Zheng Tu, the Minister of Personnel, Tao Ji, the Minister of War, and the Minister of Hubu.

Yang Yi and other court officials promoted by King Yong Zhao Yu were actually not present.

Although Zhao Hongrun could also guess that these officials must be on duty in his own office at the moment, but to be honest, he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

However, it was Wang Yu, an old man, who surprised Zhao Hongrun.

Because the relationship between them was very tense, Zhao Hongrun did not take the initiative to talk to Wang Yu. The stubborn old man also stood there with a cane. The two just looked at each other and nodded, as if they had already said hello.

Leading the Crown Princess Mi Jiang and his concubine Zhao Que, Zhao Hongrun personally came forward to offer a stick of incense to King Yong Zhao Yu, and then stood quietly aside.

During this period, the servants in the mansion brought a chair for Zhao Hongrun, but Zhao Hongrun considered it outrageous and refused to accept it.

However, Crown Princess Mi Jiang did not reject Cui's kindness. Under the leadership of several maids, she went to the side hall next door to rest - after all, in a place like the mourning hall, it was best for the youngest son Zhao Wei, who was only a few months old, to leave.

It's better to be further away.

Perhaps because there were very few guests coming to pay their respects at this time, Princess Yong's Princess Cui and her son Zhao Yan came to Zhao Hongrun and said softly: "Your Highness, please take a moment to speak."

Zhao Hongrun nodded, followed Cui and his son to the corner, and heard Cui whisper: "Your Highness, after the funeral of my deceased husband, I want to take Yan'er back to Suanzao, and I sincerely ask for your permission..."

Zhao Hongrun was stunned for a moment, feeling a little confused.

Because in his opinion, after the death of King Yong Zhao Yu, Queen Yong's Princess Cui wanted to take her son back to Suanzao to raise her, without consulting him at all - could he still stop her?

After thinking for a while, he frowned and asked, "Sister-in-law Wang, is there something hidden in this?"

Mrs. Cui bit her lip and whispered: "It's the Queen... Queen Wang sent someone here two days ago to take Yan'er to Fengyi Palace to raise her, my concubine..."

"Queen Wang?"

Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly, and at this moment he was not sure what Queen Wang meant.

Could it be that she felt that her son (Yong Wang Zhao Yu) had not been taught well by Concubine Shi, so she decided to raise it herself and teach her grandson Zhao Yan?

After thinking for a while, Zhao Hongrun asked: "What does Mrs. Wang think?"

Ms. Cui secretly glanced at Zhao Hongrun and couldn't help feeling a little confused.
