Northern Song Dynasty: Starting from the son of Song Renzong

Chapter 15 Is this the Song Dynasty?

Small yard, house.

Like his father today, he may only have a few opportunities to come here in a month, so Zhao Xin must seize this opportunity well in the future.

Said: "Daddy."

"what?"

"What does it mean to go to court?"

"Going to court means Daddy has to do something."

Zhao Xin then asked, "Can I also go to court?"

Madam Miao couldn't help but complain, saying, "You are so young, why are you going to court? Going to court is something adults do."

Zhao Xin then said, "I am already an adult! Daddy, are you busy in court? Otherwise, why do you only come to see Madam Miao once in so many days?"

When Zhao Zhen heard his son ask him this, he naturally felt mixed emotions.

Suddenly I couldn't help but make up my mind to come more often in the future.

Then he began to talk about something else: "I heard from your teacher that you have made great progress recently. Let Daddy test you to see if it is true!"

Zhao Xin also thought to himself, Damn!
He was not fooled!

If he says he is busy in court, I will immediately say, "Then I will help you go to court."

In this way, wouldn't he be able to step out of the palace with this one step?

although……

This seems a bit too hasty.

But the problem is...

There is no way to be impatient.

Now he is like a pioneer exploring a map. Every word he says may affect the boundaries of the map where he can go in the future.

After hearing what his father said, Zhao Xin suddenly came up with an idea and said, "Dad, can I go to the teacher's house to play?"

Since you mentioned my teacher, I would like to ask if I can go to my teacher's house to play.

Zhao Zhen also frowned and replied, "Daddy is just about to test you, why are you just playing around?"

Zhao Xin said, "After you finish your exam, Dad, can I go to the teacher's house to play?"

Zhao Zhen also asked: "Why do you want to go to your teacher's house to play?"

Zhao Xin replied: "Because the teacher said that he has a son who is about my age. I want to go and see him!"

Zhao Zhen glanced at Zhao Xin, then at Madam Miao, and then said helplessly: "What's so good about this!"

Zhao Xin said, "There's nothing good to see in this little courtyard. I've seen them all!"

Although Madam Miao said so, she also felt that he should not be released from the palace.

But...Zui Xinglai is a genius!
Since he wants to go out, we naturally cannot treat him as an ordinary child.

to this end……

Madam Miao could only say: "But what if we get into danger when we go out?"

Zhao Xin asked, "What's the danger?"

Madam Miao said, "Who knows? What if you fall while walking? What if someone knocks you to the ground? What if you get lost?"

Zhao Xin said, "There are so many what-ifs. Dad, I want to get out!"

Zhao Zhen also said: "Wait until you grow another three to five years."

When Zhao Xin heard that it would be three to five years, he was shocked!
Then he bent his father's legs and shook them back and forth.

"I'm going out!"

Zhao Zhen frowned, and Madam Miao was also afraid of being blamed, so she said, "Sir, why don't you just let him go?"

can only say……

Zhao Zhen was somewhat shocked when he heard this, and then he looked at her in disbelief.

Madam Miao then explained: "Zui Xinglai is different from other children after all. He has such a strong desire to learn. If you don't let him go out, won't that discourage him from learning?" "It's just that... we can't just let him go out alone. We need to find someone to watch him."

Zhao Zhen then asked: "Who do you think we should look for?"

Madam Miao said, "Let my mother look after him."

Madam Miao certainly couldn't go by herself, so she could only find an older woman to look after Zhao Xin.

At this time, Zhao Xin also hurriedly said: "I can go by myself! At most, I can take Xiaotao and Xiaodie with me."

Then the two adults looked at him together.

Zhao Xin also said: "When I was in class, they were waiting by my side."

Zhao Zhen added: "But you will hinder your teacher."

Zhao Xin said: "How could that be? I'll go when the teacher doesn't have to go to court and has nothing to do, so it won't be a hindrance."

Zhao Zhen turned around and asked Madam Miao for her opinion: "Do you really want to let him go?"

Madam Miao also gritted her teeth and said, "We can't waste our most talented talent."

Although Zhao Zhen couldn't quite understand why Zhao Xin's talent would be wasted by going out to meet another little brat.

but……

Since his concubine said so, Zhao Zhen could only respect her opinion.

He said to Zhao Xin: "You can't go anywhere else except your teacher's house."

Zhao Xin was also wondering how he knew that she wanted to go somewhere else.

It would be nice to get to know some other people.

For example, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and so on.

Don't say it yet.

It's possible that a collision might actually occur.

after all……

The Song Dynasty probably didn't say that officials were not allowed to visit other officials' homes, right?

Then go and see his teacher's study to see what poems his teacher has written before, and take a collection of poems or lyrics and take a look.

Because he always felt that his teacher's name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember it at all.

Going to the teacher's house to play is just the first step. His second step is that after visiting the teacher's house, he must go to the streets to take a look.

Look at how prosperous the ancient Song Dynasty was.

As for what you said about going to visit the little brat at the teacher's house?
Do not make jokes!
Do you really think he wants to see a little kid?

They are just excuses!

In order to make this trip more controllable and avoid any accidents on the road.

Zhao Zhen then planned to let Yan Shu enter the palace to take Zhao Xin out personally, and then bring him back personally when it was almost dark.

Zhao Zhen trusted Yan Shu very much.

of course!

In addition, eunuchs and guards must accompany him to prevent any other unexpected situations from happening.

only……

If you think about it this way, wouldn’t it be too obvious? What if the censors in the court are dissatisfied?
Zhao Zhen thought about it and quickly put all of this aside.

If I am dissatisfied, then I am dissatisfied. What can you do to me?
It would be best to ask his grandfather, who is most excited, to help protect him. Otherwise, other people might not care about him as much as his grandfather does.

After all, he is his own grandson.

The matter was settled very quickly, but the route and other things had to be determined more than ten days in advance, and it could not be announced to the public at the beginning. In this way, Zhao Xin had a chance to leave the palace just in time for the next holiday.

Sitting on the lap of Xiaodie, who was only seventeen years old, he looked towards the street outside.

Is this the Song Dynasty?
