Northern Song Dynasty: Starting from the son of Song Renzong

Chapter 26 I am no longer the person I was a month ago
Because of the inner courtyard, the four little guys definitely have no way to go there.

As for the previous dynasty, there was no place for them to play, and it was impossible to let them play.

and so……

The place where Zhao Xin and the other four played was often an open space at the north gate leading out of the Inner Courtyard.

There are soldiers guarding the north gate of the inner courtyard, and another group of soldiers blocking the outer perimeter. It is like playing in front of your own home.

Speaking of which...

This place is big enough, not only can you play sandbag throwing, you can even fly kites and go fishing.

I just don't know if there are any fish in this moat.

The person who came was undoubtedly his father.

"What are you playing most?"

After coming, he asked.

The four of them were respectful and quickly stood up and saluted, "Sir!"

Zhao Xin said, "We are discussing whether there are any fish in the river. We plan to go fishing in a few days."

The four of them saw that Duke Shou was lying without blinking an eye.

After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he looked at the four people.

The four of them also understood, and said one by one: "Yes!"

"Correct!"

"Correct!"

"Correct!"

These days, I don't know who leaked the information about the most excited person playing with civilians here. It feels like the soldier guarding the gate leaked it.

nature……

The censors had the power to report on matters they heard, and then most of the time they were remonstrated with.

No matter what, even if you want to find companions to play with, you have to find descendants of nobles, children of knowledge, and a few commoners to play with. The Censorate will definitely have something to say about this.

It can also be seen from history that Zhao Zhen was not a man with a strong will.

This is not!

Probably because he was afraid that Zhao Xin would learn bad things, he took the time to come over and take a look.

Then he asked, "Zui Xinglai, have you been reading recently?"

Zhao Xin said, "I have been reading it all the time, and I also teach them how to read it!"

Zhao Zhen was immediately surprised. "Oh? There is such a thing?"

Zhao Xin said, "You can't be illiterate! You four, show Daddy what you have accomplished in the past few days."

then……

The four of them then wrote down the numbers from one to ten, to one hundred, to one thousand, and to ten thousand.

Although it's a bit crooked, it's still acceptable.

Zhao Zhen asked again: "What about you?"

Zhao Xin was also well prepared and said, "Don't worry, Daddy, Madam Miao makes me finish an article every day before letting me out to play."

Having said that...

His nose wrinkled and he looked at his father.

Then he said, "Father, can't you trust Zui Xinglai a little more? Fu Bi from the previous dynasty, let him say whatever he wants."

Zhao Zhen said: "It's not Fu Bi who impeached you this time."

Zhao Xin asked: "Who is that!?"

Zhao Zhen said, "You wouldn't recognize me even if I told you."

Zhao Xin perked up, "Dad, if you didn't tell me, how would I know him?"

Zhao Zhen thought about it, considering whether to tell him.

I didn't want to tell him.

but……

Finally, he said the man's name, "It's Zhang Fangping, the head of the Censorate."

Zhao Xin asked, "Who is Zhang Fangping? And... who told Zhang Fangping that I was playing here?"

Zhao Zhen looked around and saw that the place was full of soldiers, and among these soldiers, there were many dignitaries, so he said: "There are so many people standing here, no matter who said it, it's possible." Zhao Xin said: "Why are these people so gossipy? Don't they have anything to do? Why do they care so much about other people's affairs? What does it have to do with them whether I study or not?"

Zhao Zhen said, "You can't say that."

Zhao Xin: “Why?”

In fact, in his heart, Zhao Zhen already regarded Zhao Xin as the crown prince.

only……

Nothing can be concluded until the last moment.

after all……

If Zhao Xin becomes useless in the future, it would not be acceptable to let an uneducated person like him be the crown prince.

Zhao Zhen looked at the guards around him and said, "If you don't study, they will have to stand guard outside."

Zhao Xin also said: "I don't study, but they have to stand guard on the city wall."

Zhao Zhen was choked.

I was suddenly speechless.

because……

Don’t say anything!

What he said seems to make sense!

Zhao Xin also took the opportunity to say: "In the future, Daddy, you don't have to pay attention to such advice. Daddy, you just need to know that your son Zui Xinglai will never learn bad things, he will only learn good things. You have to have confidence in your son!"

Seeing Zhao Xin criticizing him seriously, Zhao Zhen found it funny and said, "You said you wouldn't learn bad things, but you still want to learn how to fight!"

Zhao Xin said, "My ancestors of the Zhao family founded the country with military careers, so it is no problem for them to learn how to fight. If my ancestors of the Zhao family did not know how to fight, how could they conquer the world? I'm going to say something unpleasant. The reason why you can't defeat the Western bandits is probably because you don't know how to fight. I asked the teacher, and he, the privy councilor who is in charge of military affairs, said that he didn't know how to fight. I really don't understand how a group of people who don't know how to fight can defeat those who know how to fight."

This was the first time that Zhao Xin, at the age of three, said something so close to current affairs. Mainly, Zhao Xin also felt that it was time to say it.

after all……

He now is no longer the same person he was a month ago.

Cao Chong could weigh an elephant at the age of six, and he could talk about current affairs at the age of three. It is understandable and reasonable.

really!

His father was stunned at first, but didn't react much.

But those who can have this kind of thinking are definitely not just ordinary children.

Then he asked, "Did your teacher Yan Shu tell you?"

Zhao Xin said, "Teacher told me how the Song Dynasty came to be. I was the one who thought we couldn't win the war later."

Zhao Zhen felt...

My son is too outrageous!
Then he said, "So what do you think Dad should do next?"

Although he didn't think Zhao Xin could have any good ideas, he still couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Xin said, "You should wait until I grow up. It's not possible to rely on you."

A eunuch beside his father couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He coughed again and then stood steadily.

Zhao Zhen glanced at the other party, and then said: "If the conversation between me and Duke Shou today gets out, watch out for your head!"

The four little guys looked innocent.

Although I know that the official is probably talking about the eunuch behind him.

But they heard it too!

really!

The next second, Zhao Zhen looked at the four people.

But this time, Zhao Zhen put on a less serious expression and said, "You guys too."

then……

Zhao Zhen then pulled Zhao Xin aside, took off his pants and beat him, "You actually said your father is not good enough! You are really getting bolder and bolder! Is this okay?"

Zhao Xin also said stubbornly: "But you just can't win. Even if you beat my butt until it swells, you still can't win."

Zhao Zhen just raised his hand, and with a slap, he hit again.
