Northern Song Dynasty: Starting from the son of Song Renzong

Chapter 11 Future Plans

Although, the poems that Zhao Xin read when he was in school are very old.

However, Zhao Xin still remembered Ouyang Xiu's name very clearly.

Although I am a little disappointed that it is not an imaginary world, and preferably a world with martial arts.

But it’s okay!

In fact, Zhao Xin is a fan of ancient style and high martial arts.

It was similar to Fan Xian's, and Zhao Xin found it even more interesting.

Then the topic continued, "Who is Ouyang Xiu?"

Yan Shu said, "Ouyang Xiu is now the Prince's Assistant, responsible for editing books."

Zhao Xin then asked, "What is the Prince's Assistant?"

Yan Shu said: "It is just an official title, but there is nothing specific to do. It is just used as a basis for salary payment. It is a post-salary official."

Zhao Xin was also very good at picking out the key points and asked, "What is this prince?"

Yan Shu said, "He is the son born to the emperor and the queen."

Zhao Xin then asked: "Then why didn't I see it?"

Yan Shu: "..."

Yan Shu was silent for a while, and then explained to Zhao Xin: "Because the emperor and the queen don't have a son."

……

Times of Day.

The time passed unnoticed while we were chatting.

Today’s harvest can only be described as fruitful.

It has basically been confirmed.

He traveled through time to the Northern Song Dynasty.

As for his father's name...

Just wait until he gets back and ask.

It’s a pity that I didn’t ask my teacher which emperor he is now.

But so what if you know?

Could he know Emperor Taizong of Song or Emperor Zhenzong of Song?

But you know what, according to general rules, founding emperors are called Taizu, then Taizong, and so on.

Zhao Xin also knew that Taizu was called Zhao Kuangyin and Taizong, the one who rode a donkey cart.

Although you may not know the name, you know something about the other person's deeds.

As for who will be the next one to ride the donkey cart.

cough!
To be honest, he didn't really understand it.

The current known information is Ouyang Xiu, so there should be Fan Zhongyan.

These two people probably belonged to the same period.

When Zhao Xin returned from the attic next to the Zichen Palace, he had already started thinking about his future.

Now, what year is it?
How different is this from the full text that the textbook requires us to memorize, which says that in the spring of the fourth year of the Qingli period, Teng Zijing was exiled to Baling County.

He seemed to vaguely remember that there was a New Deal in the Qingli Period.

After returning to his own courtyard, Zhao Xin asked Madam Miao directly: "Madam Miao, what year is it now?"

Miao was very surprised and replied: "Why are you asking this?"

But at the same time, she also found that Zhao Xin seemed to speak more and more fluently.

Zhao Xin then said, "I'm just asking, and what's Daddy's name?"

Madam Miao said, "Now it is the first year of the Qingli period. Your father, of course, is called Zhao Zhen."

Zhao Xin repeated, "Zhao Zhen? How do you write the word Zhen?"

After Madam Miao spent a long time grinding the ink and spreading out the paper, she wrote it down.

By the way, the first year of the Qingli period was also written down.

Only then did Zhao Xin roughly understand what era and time point he was in now.

And Madam Miao also said: "Why do I feel like Zui Xinglai seems to be speaking more fluently today?"

In fact, Zhao Xin has always spoken very fluently, but in order to avoid their suspicion, she often misleads them.

After knowing the time point, Zhao Xin thought that time was running out for him.

Not long after, the New Policies of the Qingli Period would be launched, but they failed more than a year later and Fan Zhongyan was demoted. The article "In the spring of the fourth year of the Qingli period, Teng Zijing was exiled to Baling County" that he had memorized before was written around this time.

It was the failure of this reform that caused the Northern Song Dynasty to miss the best time window for reform, and ultimately, it could only continue to survive.

Speaking of which...what are the three redundancies in the Northern Song Dynasty?

Redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant...

Then, while Zhao Xin was thinking, his wife Miao straightened her face and asked again, "Has Zui Xing become more fluent in speaking?"

Zhao Xin rolled her eyes at her and said, "Mrs. Miao, I've grown up!"

It can only be said that this remark almost made the other person laugh.

at the same time……

Madam Miao was eager to tell the emperor, that is, his cheap father, about this matter immediately.

But his cheap father, Zhao Zhen, probably won't come today.

after all……

I like Madam Zhang more.

To be honest, Zhao Xin was a little curious about how beautiful Madam Zhang was.

As for Ms. Miao, I think it’s about 80 or 85 points.

The advantage is that she has a kind of beautiful girl next door with a gentle personality.

But don't be fooled by her gentle personality, it still hurts when she gets spanked.

Later, when they were having their meal, Madam Miao specially picked up a lot of dishes for him.

So much so that Zhao Huirou was not happy and said, "Sister, why don't you pick it up for me?"

Madam Miao said, "Zui Xinglai has become very fluent in speaking. This is a reward."

Zhao Huirou said, "Then I can speak very fluently too!"

Madam Miao said, "I did it for you when you were little, but you just don't remember it."

Zhao Huirou had no idea how treacherous human nature could be and was immediately deceived.

But after all, they were born from the same belly.

No matter how much Madam Miao dotes on Zhao Xin, she can't really ignore Zhao Huirou.

While Madam Miao was taking care of Zhao Huirou...

Zhao Xin was also planning his future while eating.

He became the son of an official in the Song Dynasty.

This can definitely be considered a good thing.

only……

It seems like your Da Song isn't doing well.

Zhao Xin didn’t know in which year the Jingkang Shame occurred.

But he knew...

If the Song Dynasty doesn't do something, it will perish sooner or later.

Can you hold on until you die?
But that won’t work either!
When he has a son in the future, shouldn't he consider his son as well?

and so……

The Song Dynasty must be saved. There is no other way.

Although he can lie down now, his descendants will probably suffer.

Holding the small bowl in his left hand, he ate the food respectfully and seriously with chopsticks in his right hand. From today on, he was no longer the three-year-old kid who ate mutton with his hands!

But the problem is...

In the eyes of others, he is just a three-year-old kid. Even if he says something now, others probably won't listen.

This is really worrying!

cough!
But think about it from another perspective.

He might even be able to meet Fan Zhongyan!
of course!

In fact, there is nothing good about Fan Zhongyan. I guess the scholars in later generations all wanted to kill him because he wrote the Yueyang Tower Inscription for no reason.

It seems like Ouyang Xiu also has something to memorize, something like The Drunken Old Man Pavilion?
As for my teacher Yan Shu...

cough!
Sorry, I really can’t remember.

Suddenly I felt that my teacher seemed a little bit lackluster.

At this time, Yan Shu, who was having a meal at home, couldn't help but sneeze.

Compared to the Song Dynasty imperial palace, there are very few offspring.

Yan Shu has a lot of people in his family.

There are nine in total!
There are a lot of hungry children in the family.
