"Dad, why did you come back at this time? Zong He originally wanted to go to the front hall to take a look. I heard that Lord Fan and Lord Fu were both angry about the reform these days."

Zhao Zhen was very surprised when he heard his son's words: "Hey, you have heard about the reform, so I wonder what my son thinks about it?"

Although he knew that his child had not yet been enlightened, Zhao Zhen inexplicably felt that his own Zong He might give him a surprise.

Zhao Xi was a young and fearless person. If he was a child from any other family, he would not be qualified to discuss this topic with the emperor. But after all, he had a father who was an emperor and he himself was definitely the next emperor.

Therefore, Zhao Xi talked to Zhao Zhen: "I heard my father and Lord Fan discuss it last time. The main problems facing our Song Dynasty are that the national finances are tight, the control over the local areas is not strong, the official positions are redundant and the officials' performance is not outstanding. The most troublesome thing is that the military's combat effectiveness is weak. Every time we fight against foreign tribes, we always lose. Is that right?"

Zhao Zhen didn't expect that his son, who had not yet received any enlightenment, could have such understanding just by listening in his spare time. He was so happy that he picked up his son and shook him hard.

Although Zhao Xi felt a little uncomfortable being shaken, he enjoyed his father's affection for him. Considering his father's advanced age, he quickly asked his father to put him down.

After getting back on solid ground, he continued, "Since we have no money, we will find ways to earn it. If the officials are not capable, we will let the capable ones do more work. We will remove all unnecessary official positions, and then select a few more outstanding generals to train the soldiers well. It would be best if they train them frequently like fighting cocks."

Although Zhao Xi is the reincarnation of a saint, he has been completely sealed, so at this moment he is only slightly smarter than an ordinary child.

Although suggestions were given, if you think about it carefully, it seems that no effective suggestions were given. It is okay to simply listen to it, but if you really put it into practice, there will definitely be many problems.

In addition, they had not received any systematic education, so although the suggestions they put forward were somewhat instructive, they lacked practice and experience and could not provide much help for the reform.

Even so, Zhao Zhen was still very surprised and exclaimed that a child had been sent from heaven. There was hope that the Song Dynasty would recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

So he decided that starting from tomorrow, he would let the more outstanding civil and military officials under his command, Fan Xiwen and Di Hanchen, give the future prince an enlightenment.

Because his son was so smart, Zhao Zhen ate an extra bowl of dinner. Even what he wanted to tell his son before was already forgotten.

The father and son had just finished their meal, and Zhao Zhen was preparing to personally teach his son starting tonight.

The father and son had just prepared the four treasures of the study and had not even had time to start when they were interrupted by the noise outside the hall.

Although Zhao Zhen was always kind, he was not without temper. He immediately said angrily: "Zhang Maonze, what happened outside? Why is there such a commotion?"

Zhang Maoze was very ambitious. Although he was a rare respectable person under the government, he never relaxed his control over the information in the harem.

He immediately ran in, bowing his body, and said to Zhao Zhen, "Your Majesty, please allow me to report. Zhang Xiuyuan from Xiangluan Pavilion just sent a second-class maid to tell me that the little princess is sick again. Madam Zhang is at a loss and wants to ask your Majesty to take charge of the situation."

Poor Zhao Zhen, he was already frightened by the successive deaths of his children when he was over thirty. He was worried about his youngest son every day for more than half a month ago. Just when he finally breathed a sigh of relief, his little princess had problems again.

Thinking about the promise I made to my son to give him an education tonight, and worrying that if I didn't go to see my daughter tonight, I would never see her again, I was extremely conflicted for a moment.

Although he could take his son with him and come back together after the visit, out of consideration for his son's health, he would rather not go than gamble with his son's health. If his son was infected with the disease, he was afraid that he might even want to die.

It was Zhao Xi again. Seeing that his father had been out for a while and had not come back yet, he thought of going out to see what had happened.

After asking the gatekeeper and knowing the whole story, the thoughtful little girl, not wanting to embarrass her father, said to Zhao Zhen:

"Dad, you should go and see sister Yaoyao first. There is no rush for my son. If you must start enlightenment tonight, you can also find a new Jinshi in the Hanlin Academy to enlighten your son first."

Seeing that his son said so, Zhao Zhen no longer hesitated. He immediately asked Zhang Maze to go to the Hanlin Academy to find an official for his son, and he quickly hurried to Xiangluan Pavilion.

It's not that he doesn't value his son, but he is really aware of his daughter's situation. In addition, he has focused all his energy on his son during this period of time, and he can't help but feel a little guilty towards his daughter.

When Zhao Zhen rushed to Xiangluan Pavilion, he saw that the mistress and her maidens were in chaos. Not only had they not called in an imperial physician, but they were all crying and there was not even a capable person. His face immediately darkened.

After arranging everything he needed to do in an orderly manner, he went to see his little daughter with trepidation.

Fortunately, the little princess only had a common fever and did not have any life-threatening symptoms. However, even so, Zhao Zhen still stayed by his daughter's bedside for the entire night and only left when the morning court was about to start.

After receiving Zhao Zhen's instructions, Zhang Maoze hurried to the Hanlin Academy, fearing that the officials would be dismissed and delay the enlightenment of the little prince.

No matter how hard we hurried, we were still a little late. The officials of the Hanlin Garden had already gone back to their homes.

Just when I was about to ask the eunuch to check where the nearest official residence was, I unexpectedly ran into Wang Anshi, Wang Jiefu, who had just been appointed and came to the Hanlin Academy to check information. (Wang Anshi is a private setting here, so please don't use your brain when you read it.)

When Zhang Maze saw the official robes of the visitor, he did not bother to ask any questions and took him directly back to Daning Palace, preparing to have him enlighten His Royal Highness the Prince of E first.

Although Wang Jiefu was completely confused, he still obediently followed Zhang Maoze to the Daning Palace. It was not until he reached the palace gate that he found an opportunity to ask the eunuch why he brought him here.

When he learned that he came here to enlighten the emperor's only little prince, no matter how calm Wang Jiefu was, he was extremely happy at this moment, and he began to make an enlightenment plan in his mind efficiently.

When Zhang Maoze saw that this young official, who had just come of age, was able to remain so calm when he learned that he was going to enlighten the emperor's only prince, he nodded with satisfaction and led the person in.

When Zhao Xi saw the young man brought in by Zhang Maozhe, his eyes suddenly lit up. Somehow, he always felt that this young man whom he met for the first time might bring him a big surprise.

As expected, after Wang Jiefu's brief but wonderful enlightenment, Zhao Xi's academic career got off to a good start.

Although Zhao Xi felt a little disappointed that his father was not his first mentor, Wang Jiefu's lively and interesting teaching made him feel for the first time that reading could be so interesting.

Seeing that it was getting late and the palace gates were about to be locked, Zhao Xi had to let her husband leave the palace first, no matter how reluctant she was.

In order to keep Master Wang, whom he was satisfied with, Zhao Xi waited outside the door of the front hall early the next morning, wanting to ask his father to officially assign Master Wang from yesterday as his teacher.

As for the Mr. Fan and Mr. Di books that his father prepared for him, Zhao Xi did not intend to refuse them. He even thought that the more the better. The thoughts of the academic master are really beyond the understanding of ordinary people like us.
