Chapter 162: Three Years of Xing'an [Two in One](1/2)
"PS: Happy first day of junior high school, please vote for me~"
————The following text————
"Grandma, grandsons and younger brothers and sisters, I wish you good health and long life, grandma."
On the first day of the first lunar month of the third year of Wei Xing'an, Zhao Hongrun's female family members and several little ones went to Fuyan Palace to pay their respects to Empress Dowager Shen.
The little guys' sweet and sweet wishes made Empress Dowager Shen smile with a smile on her face, and she kept saying "Okay, okay, okay."
It is worth mentioning that among Zhao Hongrun's female relatives, there is also Zhao Ying. This is the first time for her to meet Queen Mother Shen as her daughter-in-law, so she is inevitably a little embarrassed and restrained. Fortunately, Queen Mother Shen is a very kind elder. Except that Zhao Ying felt a little embarrassed and shy when she tested whether there was any movement in Zhao Ying's belly, there was nothing else.
After that, Zhao Wei, Zhao Chuan, Zhao Han, and Zhao Chu, as well as Zhao Hongrun's newly adopted son Wei Yun and daughter Wei Ning, also knelt down to greet Zhao Run.
"I wish my father (adopted father) good health and peace."
Zhao Hongrun laughed loudly and joked to Wei Jiao, Lu Mu, Gao Kuo, Zhong Zhao, Chu Heng, Mu Qing and others who were watching, laughing at himself that he had reached the age where his children would wish him good health.
After that, Zhao Hongrun asked about the studies of several sons.
I remember that Zhao Hongrun did not want his son to be restrained, so he did not confer the title of Prince Master for a long time. However, because he allowed Jie Ziu to teach his adopted son Wei Yun, Zhao Hongrun finally conferred the title of Du, the Minister of Rites. You are called the "Prince and Grand Master" and teach all the disciples.
However, because Du You, the Minister of Rites, was also old and busy with daily affairs, the task of teaching the prince and other princes was sometimes replaced by Jie Zizi.
Of course, when Zhao Hongrun asked about his son and adopted son's studies today, it was just a casual question. After all, Zhao Wei was only three years old, and his adopted son Wei Yun was only five years old. Who can't expect a few three or five-year-old little guys to speak well.
After listening to his father's inquiry, Prince Zhao Wei said in a sweet voice: "Disciples will be filial when they enter, and they will be jealous when they go out. They will be cautious and trustworthy, love everyone and be kind. If you have spare capacity, you should study literature... "
Since he was not able to speak clearly, it took Zhao Run a lot of effort to hear clearly what his son was saying. It turned out to be the "Xue Er Pian" from The Analects of Confucius, one of the mainstream Confucian academics in the world. The general idea is to advocate filial piety and friendship. Brothers, be cautious and honest, be benevolent and righteous, and put personal morality before studying literature. You will know it is a gentleman's standard as soon as you hear it.
Zhao Hongrun nodded with satisfaction.
For his eldest son who is only three years old, he does not expect this little guy to be very smart or talented, but he must first be kind-hearted.
Just when Zhao Hongrun nodded with satisfaction, Gao Kuo said with a smile: "Speaking of the prince's studies, Zhang Qigong was very dissatisfied with the length of teachings chosen by Jie Zigong... Mr. Zhang felt that the length chosen by Jie Zigong was too long. Too weak. Moreover, when Jie Zitu was not paying attention, Zhang Qigong also took the opportunity to teach the prince a sentence."
"Oh?" Zhao Hongrun asked his son Zhao Weidao curiously: "What did Zhang Qing teach you?"
Zhao Wei tilted his head and thought for a while, seeming to recall who the "Zhang Qing" in his father's mouth was referring to. It was not until Zhao Run repeatedly reminded him that he said in a sweet voice: "In the whole world, is it the king?" Tutu, the shore of Tutu, could it be the king’s ministers?”
Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be stunned. When he turned around, he couldn't help but shook his head: "This Zhang Qigong..."
Academically, Jie Ziyu and Zhang Qigong dislike each other. This is a well-known fact in the court, and it is not surprising. After all, one is a disciple of Confucianism and the other is a disciple of Legalism. It is strange that they can join hands with each other.
It is undeniable that what Zhang Qigong teaches is correct. As the future monarch of Wei, how can Prince Zhao Wei be a weak monarch? But it is true. Zhao Run feels that it is too early to let Zhang Qigong teach Zhao Wei -
-At this age, Zhao Wei needs to be cultivated to be kind-hearted.
What's more, would Jie Zizi be a weak person?
He was a man who truly cared about the world, and his ambition was even greater than that of Zhao Run.
Shaking his head with a smile, Zhao Hongrun called his five-year-old adopted son Wei Yun to him and asked him what he had learned recently.
Because he had been with Zhao Run, his adoptive father, for a while, Wei Yun no longer felt afraid or restrained, and he opened his mouth and said: "If you are an official, you will learn to be good, and if you are good at learning, you will be an official..."
Zhao Hongrun was stunned.
Seeing this, Wei Yun asked with some anxiety: "Father, is the child's thoughts wrong?"
"Well..." Zhao Run hesitated for a moment, then smiled and praised Wei Yun: "No, you read it very well."
When Wei Yun left with satisfaction and continued playing with his brothers and sisters, the smile on Zhao Hongrun's face faded slightly.
Although what the eldest son Zhao Wei and his adopted son Wei Yun learned were also from the Analects of Confucius, what Jie Ziu taught Zhao Wei was completely different from what he taught Wei Yun. From this, it is not difficult to infer that Jie Ziu had already
Subtly, he cultivated Wei Yun, the 'King of Wei', into 'Chen of Wei'.
After that, Zhao Hongrun asked Gao Kuo alone whether he should stop the meson owl's behavior.
Gao Kuo heard this and said: "Your Majesty, I think that Wei Chen may not be inferior to Wei Jun. I think that Lord Jiezi's move is like preparing for a rainy day. In the future, my great Wei really...'that', when the time comes, the prince
With His Highness Wei Yun, aren’t the brothers we are now going to turn against each other?”
"That one?" Zhao Hongrun looked at Gao Kuo with a strange expression.
Seeing this, Gao Kuo blinked and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jiezi's influence in the court is still quite large. Under his influence, the ministers in the court are very interested in this..."
"The common master of the world...?"
Zhao Hongrun shook his head as if laughing.
Indeed, this extravagant hope that no one dared to talk about before is indeed inexplicably alluring, especially for the ministers of the Wei State - who doesn't want to witness it with their own eyes, or even personally promote this hegemony, so as to leave a name for themselves?
Where is Yu Qingshi?
This is a supreme honor that surpasses the sages of all generations!
"...By the way, Your Majesty, Ya Wu has returned to Daliang and brought the current situation of Qi and Chu."
"..."
Zhao Hongrun paused for a moment, and after glancing at Gao Kuo, he continued walking forward and asked, "Is Chu planning to withdraw its troops?"
"Probably so." Gao Kuo nodded and said: "After Xiong Tuo returned to Shouying to inherit the throne, Chu State's Shouling Lord Jingyun and Diyang Lord Xiong Li continued to attack Qi State's Langya County for nearly a year, but they were still unable to conquer it.
...After that, the Qi State envoy "Feng Xuan" visited the Chu State, and the war between Qi and Chu was probably about to end."
"Hmm."
Zhao Run nodded slightly.
His judgment was similar to Gao Kuo's - it wasn't that he thought Chu could not defeat Qi, it was just that the loss would be too great. Although Xiong Tuo's old character might not make impulsive decisions, it cannot be denied.
After Xiong Tuo inherited the throne of Chu King, his character did improve a lot, and he became more cautious and focused on interests. Therefore, even if Xiong Tuo decided to stop the war with Qi, Zhao Run would not be surprised.
Nodding, he said with some emotion: "If Qi and Chu are serious about making peace... then Huan Hu takes the most credit!"
Why did he say that?
The reason is very simple: if the sudden rise of Huan Hu had not defeated General Xiang Mo, one of the Three Pillars of Chu, and repelled the Chu army, perhaps Lu would have been destroyed by Chu. But with such a rise, Chu's momentum
It is even more fierce. The so-called lips are dead and the teeth are cold. With the fall of Lu, even if Qi can temporarily block the Chu army, it may not be able to last long.
The problem now is that the Chu State failed to swallow up the Lu State. Instead, it was punched hard by Huan Hu, the general of the Lu State.
.
"Huan Hu..."
Zhao Hongrun stopped and put his hands behind his back, recalling his past contact with Huan Hu in his mind.
Zhao Hongrun had only seen Huan Hu twice.
The first time was when he was hunting in Chenggao. At that time, Huan Hu led hundreds of mounted bandits to attack the camp where his father, King Zhao Si, was. They rode their tall horses back and forth like the wind. Since they defeated the Huben guards who were guarding the king at that time,
, let Zhao Hongrun appreciate for the first time what a "tough bandit" is - he later learned that Huan Hu and his thugs turned out to be regular cavalry soldiers who had rebelled in South Korea. No wonder they were so powerful.
As for the second side, it was because Huan Hu kidnapped Wang Ming, the brother of Queen Wang at the time, in order to demand a ransom from the Wang family in Zhengcheng. At that time, Zhao Hongrun went to see Huan Hu as a lobbyist.
However, Zhao Run was very incompetent as a lobbyist at the time. Instead of convincing Huan Hu, he angered the latter. Huan Hu was so angry that he chopped off Wang Ming's head in front of him.
Zhao Hongrun was dumbfounded.
After that, Zhao Hongrun never saw Huan Hu again, and even rarely heard from Huan Hu. After all, Zhao Hongrun was busy with affairs at that time and had no time to take care of Huan Hu, a daring little thief.
"Huan Hu, I'm afraid he's not such a peaceful person."
Zhao Hongrun frowned and said.
After hearing this, Gao Kuo nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise...According to the information obtained by the Qingya people in the Lu State, Huan Hu is afraid that he has the ambition to "occupy the magpie's nest and dove". After repelling the Xiang of Chu State,
After the end of the war, Huan Hu regarded himself as the hero who saved Lu State in front of others and behind others, and won the hearts of many people. I am afraid that his intentions are not small..."
Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly and asked, "King Lu, are you just letting Huan Hu go?"
Gao Kuo shrugged, saying that he didn't know the details.
But in fact, it was not that Lu Wanggong Shupan failed to see Huan Hu's ambition, but in his eyes, Huan Hu's threat was not as big as the threat of "Three Huan" - after all, Huan Hu was an outsider after all.
, However, Sanhuan was born and raised in a local noble family. Of course, Sanhuan was a greater threat to the royal family.
In the blink of an eye, February is here, and the ice and snow are gradually beginning to melt.
Far in the northwest of the Central Plains, the Qin army once again launched an offensive against South Korea's Yanmen County after ushering in winter.
Not to mention South Korea, even Wei admired Qin's perseverance - after fighting Yanmen County for more than a year without conquering South Korea, Qin still had such high interest.
Only a small number of people know that it is not actually the King of Qin who insists on attacking South Korea. In fact, for the Qin State, it is the same for anyone to attack - as long as the war continues, there will be no problems in the Qin State.
Otherwise, such potential problems as class conflicts such as land annexation, as well as the lack of opportunities for ordinary civilians in the Qin State to rise to power, etc., will suddenly break out - this is caused by the shortcomings of the military merit system.
However, according to Ying Ban, Lord Lantian of Qin who frequently comes to Wei to enjoy himself, Qin and South Korea are currently just maintaining a state of war - to put it bluntly, they are placing Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi in Yanmen County to see if there is any
Opportunity to defeat Han general Li Mu. As for Qin itself, the focus of the war has now shifted to Yiqu and Xiqiang.
The reason seems to be that the Qiang king of Yiqu received support from the Xiqiang.
In fact, this incident also had a slight impact on Wei State.
I still remember that two years ago, the second son of King Yu Zhao Yuanji, Zhao Chengyue, the governor of Shuofang, reported to the court that the Linhu, Xiongnu and other foreign tribes who had been driven north from the Hetao area by their Wei army had recently been ready to make a move and repeatedly attacked Yangshan.
They appeared in the Yinshan area and attacked the Wei army.
At that time, because the late king Zhao Si passed away and it was a national mourning, the imperial court did not pay too much attention to it. It just asked Zhao Chengyue, the guardian of Shuofang, to "act cheaply." After all, the main force of Wei Wujun was currently stationed in the Hetao area, so there was no chance of any changes happening.
