Northern Song Dynasty: Starting from the son of Song Renzong

Chapter 170 Return
Fifteen days later, Zhao Xin returned to Tokyo City.

Of course, his father had already brought people waiting for them outside the city.

The father and son, each on one side.

Zhao Xin's side includes Zhao Xun and other people, plus Li Yuan's army.

And his father included all the court officials and imperial guards.

of course!

Ouyang Xiu and his companions were also mixed in his father's team at this time.

The two sides stopped their horses and stood, looking at each other.

As for the battle reports and the injuries, he had already written to his father in advance to tell him about them.

So the step of confirming whether there are any missing arms or legs was skipped.

Going directly to the next step, he saw his father from afar, looking at him with a smile on his face.

As for Zhao Xin... he was also thinking whether he should say something corny and disgusting later.

Zhao Xin turned his head slightly to think about it, and finally, he thought, just let nature take its course!

Both teams stood still.

Next…

It was naturally impossible for his father to come to him in person on horseback.

Although the horse under his father's crotch seemed to be unable to hold back any longer.

He saw the horse under his father's crotch move.

Zhao Xin immediately squeezed his horse's belly and said, "Gee!"

He took two steps at a time and rushed forward.

When he was about ten steps away from his father, he jumped off the horse.

Then he quickened his pace, walked a few steps to his father, and said to his father: "Dad! Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!"

At this time, his father also got off the horse.

In the past, his father always rode in a sedan chair.

But today, after all, I have to go out of the city to welcome the army, so I ride alone.

It’s not that Zhao Zhen couldn’t ride a horse at all, he could even hunt.

But of course!

His hunting was mostly out of etiquette.

But there is no need to worry too much about whether he can catch prey or how much prey he can catch.

Back to the scene where the two met.

Zhao Zhen had been a father for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen his own son returning victoriously from an expedition.

In addition, he usually spanked Zhao Xin directly on the butt.

This was not the first time he was spanked, and to be honest, he was still a little uncomfortable with it.

See Zhao Xin salute him.

Zhao Zhen had no choice but to walk forward slowly and touch Zhao Xin's little arm.

It was not until I touched the flesh on that little arm that I felt a little proud of having such an outstanding son.

"My Qilin has grown up!"

As for other people's reactions...

Judging from the height of His Royal Highness Prince Yu, there is indeed no problem.

Because His Royal Highness the Prince of Yu has indeed grown quite big.

But if someone told you the real age of His Royal Highness Prince Yu...

I’m afraid I won’t feel that way.

So when I heard the official say this.

Everyone felt very subtle.

on the one hand……

They saw that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yu was indeed much taller than his peers.

on the other hand……

Sir, is it really reasonable for you to let a ten-year-old child fight for you?
He even has the nerve to say, "My son Qilin has grown up!" If you encounter a war again in the future, will you still let him go to the battlefield?
of course!

At this moment, people like Ouyang Xiu were inexplicably excited when they saw that Zhao Xin was so capable.

Can you tell me the specific reason...

Perhaps since His Royal Highness Prince Yu can even fight a war, then other things, such as setting up a government office, should naturally be a piece of cake for him.

If we could treat His Royal Highness Prince Yu as a complete adult.

That would definitely be good for them.

otherwise……

No matter what you do, others will just treat you as a child, and you will be looked down upon by outsiders.

But now that His Royal Highness Prince Yu can even fight a war, it is difficult for others to look down on him. From now on...

His Royal Highness Prince Yu's speeches in the court will probably become more authoritative.

Of course!
This is just the beginning.

In the future, as His Royal Highness Prince Yu gets older.

His Royal Highness Prince Yu's voice will naturally become greater.

After hearing his father's words, 'My son Qilin has grown up! ', Zhao Xin also replied, "Then Daddy, can I build a mansion and marry a wife?"

Zhao Xin spoke loudly on purpose.

Everyone who has a daughter at home immediately understood!

however……

Not everyone can do it.

after all……

If you think your daughter is not good-looking enough, you need to be self-aware and learn to give up.

Zhao Xin said this, but there was no other way.

After all, this young lady would not take the initiative to walk out the door and let him get to know her.

It’s a way of collecting materials.

In fact, Zhao Xin doesn't necessarily have to look for these powerful people.

Look at the empresses of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that they all came from the common people.

However, this also led to the fact that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty might be a little weaker in terms of his relatives by marriage.

and so……

They often trust the eunuchs in the palace very much.

For example, Wei Zhongxian or something like that.

Of course, being an eunuch has its advantages.

As everyone knows, eunuchs cannot seize your throne.

If you have to choose between eunuchs and relatives of the emperor who is more likely to be loyal, it would of course be the eunuch!
But in fact, the literati were wary of both eunuchs and relatives by marriage.

Zhao Xin just mentioned it casually.

I didn't really want to marry her.

of course!

If there is someone who looks good to you, it is not out of the question to consider him/her.

Everyone immediately had their own ideas.

His father really wanted to beat him up right now.

As for the rest, those who want to curry favor will naturally rack their brains to see if they have daughters or even nieces who meet the requirements.

Others were speechless towards Zhao Xin.

For example, Ouyang Xiu.

Your Highness Prince Yu, you are only ten years old!
Then, his father said bluntly: "You are still young, wait a few more years before talking about it!"

Zhao Xin didn't care.

Anyway...

The signal has been sent.

But there is one thing to say.

These things sent by others must have other purposes.

They are definitely not good people.

Zhao Xin still thinks that what he finds is the best.

But the problem is that it’s too difficult to find it by yourself!
Just relax and don't think of this as a transaction.

Just think of it as a blind date!

Zhao Xin: “Oh…”

After saying that, he said to his father, "Dad, don't stand here. Let the soldiers go back to the camp and have dinner! They have been fighting outside for so many days and they are all starving."

Zhao Zhen also said: "Dad hasn't rewarded the soldiers yet."

Zhao Xin said, "Then have someone read it quickly!"

Then...

It was to reward the heroes and soldiers who had suppressed the rebellion.

The rewards were divided into five levels, covering nearly 10,000 soldiers.

Seeing that the scope of the reward is so wide...

Zhao Xin also couldn't help but sigh.

If we talk about spendthriftness, it’s his father who is the best at it.
