Northern Song Dynasty: Starting from the son of Song Renzong

Chapter 149: Speaking the truth

In Madam Miao’s courtyard.

Zhao Zhen discovered that this was the problem most people had.

He wants everything that others have.

He wants to get involved in politics and the military.

just now……

Even the harem and concubines were brought out.

Zhao Zhen said, "If Madam Miao finds out, you'll see if she'll beat you up!"

Zhao Xin said, "Daddy, just don't tell Madam Miao!"

Zhao Zhen was also considering whether to let everyone know.

Headache!

If everyone knew.

Then maybe these people will be deported.

Or send all these people back secretly?

Zhao Zhen then said, "You are so young, why do you want a concubine?"

Zhao Xin could only reply: "Can't I prepare it? I can raise it myself."

Zhao Zhen: "If this gets out, do you think those censors in the court will criticize you?"

Zhao Xin said, "This world belongs to my Zhao family. Dad, you are too kind and weak, so you care so much about the opinions of those censors."

"Look at Emperor Taizong Wen. Even though Wei Zheng said not to attack Gaochang, Emperor Taizong Wen still attacked! And the effect was quite good. At least he pushed the country's border to Gaochang."

"Otherwise, the border defense of the Tang Dynasty will only reach Longyou at best. In the end, a lot of horses in Longyou will be robbed every year."

"Dad! As an official, you must have your own ideas and cannot be led by those ministers."

"You have to know how this country should be governed."

Zhao Zhen looked down at Zhao Xin and said, "You're actually lecturing your father!"

Zhao Xin: "As the saying goes, if one soldier is incompetent, all his generals will be incompetent. This is also true for officials."

"The reason why the martial virtues of our Song Dynasty are so weak is largely due to the fact that the officials of our Song Dynasty are too afraid of death."

"They just want to live in shame, but when will the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun be recovered?"

"Forget about the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, we can't even defeat Xixia."

Zhao Zhen felt...

Let’s have another fight.

How could you say this about your own ancestors?
and……

Did you also scold your father?
After spanking him again, Zhao Zhen asked, "Then how can you take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?"

Zhao Xin said, "This is a military secret, how can we let others know about it? You will know it naturally in the future, Daddy!"

Ok!

Zhao Zhen continued to fight for the third time!

After the fight, he paused, then said to Zhao Xin: "You can't do anything reckless."

Zhao Xin also asked: "Dad, what do you mean?"

Zhao Zhen said: "All."

Zhao Xin: "Don't worry, Daddy, I'm not a three-year-old child anymore!"

rare!

His father didn't object to him having a concubine.

But yes!

There are few sons as reliable as me in this world!
But should I tell Madam Miao?
It seems that if I don’t tell Madam Miao, I’d be treating her as an outsider.

After all, she is my biological mother!
But what he feared most was that Madam Miao would be startled.

……

Considering this matter is too complicated.

The more people know about it, the harder it will be to resolve this matter.

Zhao Zhen simply ignored it.

As for whether it will be discovered by the censors and then impeached.

This is actually conceivable.

But what can the censors do even if they impeach?

It would be better to let the ministers adapt themselves to the situation, as the ones who come here to do things do not follow the rules.

Later, during dinner, Zhao Xin kept staring at Madam Miao.

Think about it!
forget it!
after that……

Zhao Xin ate bowl after bowl of rice. But to be honest, Zhao Zhen was still a little worried.

For example, Zhao Xin's concubine, who he just picked up, would not know the etiquette? Would she be so rude? Should he find a master to teach her?

only……

If we really did that, there would probably be even more people who would know about it.

therefore……

Whatever he wants!

He even talked about how to be an official, and that officials should have their own ideas and not be led by their ministers.

Don't you still trust him?
……

The next day.

Zhao Xin went to the house he had bought and made careful plans for their future.

Anyway...

Don't quarrel, don't fight, the four of you should get along well with each other.

It was impossible for the four of them not to be curious about Zhao Xin's identity.

Zhao Xin thought it would be better not to let them know for the time being.

Just say that you are the son of an official.

After that, I will come over when I have time.

If they don’t have time, they can just play by themselves.

Through these conversations, we became familiar with each other.

They even became so familiar with each other that they talked in bed.

only……

Don't think too much, we were just chatting in bed.

For example, let’s talk about how old Zhao Xin is this year.

In fact, Zhao Xin is only about a head or half a head shorter than them.

Then they would naturally think that he was not much younger than them.

Zhao Xin simply agreed with them and said, "You are all right. I am ten years old."

It simply added two years to my age.

Then the four of them were also very curious. If Zhao Xin did this, wouldn’t his parents beat him?

Zhao Xin really wanted to take off his pants to let them see why he didn’t fight!

Of course we have to fight!
But this little pain is nothing to him.

then……

As he was talking, Zhao Xin started teaching them again.

Teach them to become like the virtuous women of ancient times.

For example, Empress Changsun, Concubine Xu Hui, and Concubine Wei were all good people.

She did not cause trouble in the harem just because of her good family background.

The four of them found it very strange.

How do they give such examples? They are all such famous people, and they are all the emperor's wives and concubines?
Zhao Xin explained to them that only these women of status would be recorded in history books.

And those ordinary women would never be recorded in history books.

of course!

It’s not to say that there aren’t any. For example, the heroine in The Peacock Flies Southeast and Pauses Every Five Miles is a pretty good woman.

But this story is not so good. It tells the story of a black-hearted mother-in-law. The heroine weaved five pieces of cloth in three days and her hands were almost broken. Her mother-in-law was not satisfied and thought that she was weaving too slowly. In the end, she forced the heroine to death.

Zhao Xin couldn't use this kind of story to tell the other party that the heroine was very virtuous, right?
Of course, the purpose was to use Empress Changsun to advise Emperor Taizong Wen.

It is also appropriate to use the example of Concubine Xu Hui advising Emperor Taizong Wen.

Anyway...

Read more when you have nothing to do.

Fortunately, they can all read.

Then Zhao Xin would feel much more at ease.

Zhao Xun was very anxious outside!
His Royal Highness Prince Yu has been inside for half a day.

Is he doing something bad?

But let’s be reasonable!
It should be impossible to do it even if you want to.

I'm not trying to underestimate His Royal Highness the Prince of Yu, I'm just speaking the truth.
