Northern Song Dynasty: Starting from the son of Song Renzong

Chapter 19 After all, Zhao Xin is only three years old!

After visiting his teacher's house, Zhao Xin can be said to have taken half a step into the court.

The next step was to go see his father and ask him to promise that he would remember to take him with him when he went to court in the future.

This is actually not difficult to say, but how can I ensure that his father agrees?
Zhao Xin has now discovered a very serious problem.

That is……

In ancient times, if you wanted to obtain information from the outside world alone, it was actually very difficult.

It is not from later generations, although a lot of news from later generations is intentionally shown to you by others.

But at least, you can still use the Internet to know what national events have happened in recent times.

But in the Song Dynasty...

This doesn't work at all.

Because if you don’t talk to people, ask others, or if others come up to you and tell you, then you have no way of knowing what happened today.

This also made Zhao Xin gradually understand that it would be very simple and easy for those young emperors or old emperors who lived in the harem and indulged in wine and women all day long to be sidelined and deceived by their own ministers.

and so……

Zhao Xin next urgently needs a stable channel to obtain information from the outside world.

At least, you have to know what major events have happened recently, so that you can know what to do next.

My maternal grandfather, Miao Jizong, should be counted as one.

But due to his low status, he probably couldn't collect much useful information.

and……

Since Zhao Xin is still young and cannot enter and leave the palace freely, even if the other party collects the information, the news will not be passed to him.

After all, his grandfather was a man, it was impossible for him to go to the palace every now and then.

Even whether one can enter the palace is a question.

Zhao Xin raised his pillow and thought about it all night in the crib.

The next day.

Finally setting a goal, he had to start by building his own intelligence network.

The quickest way is to collect them yourself.

then……

The next day, Zhao Xin took Madam Miao with him and went to his father's bedroom to wait for someone.

"Why is Zui Xing here?"

Fortunately, his father did not go to Madam Zhang's place today. To be precise, he was planning to go there later.

only……

Since this is on the way, I decided to come back first to put away the things I would need for court before going.

When Zhao Xin saw his father coming back, he immediately asked, "Dad, are you back from court?"

The other party picked up Zhao Xin.

Then he asked, "Do you miss your daddy?"

Zhao Xin thought, what the hell!

but……

To some extent, that's what I meant.

Then he said, "Yes."

After a pause, he said, "Daddy."

Zhao Zhen made a nasal sound: "Hmm?"

Zhao Xin asked, "Dad, what do you do in court? Can I go and watch?"

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Xin, and Zhao Xin also looked back at him with his big 'innocent' eyes, not at all weak.

Zhao Zhen said, "Zui Xinglai is still young, and it's not fun to go to court."

Zhao Xin naturally responded, "I think going to court is fun!"

This made Zhao Zhen's nasal tone even heavier.

Zhao Xin also said: "I will also go to court to help my father fight Li Yuanhao."

Zhao Zhen was also surprised and asked, "Zui Xinglai, who told you this?" Zhao Xin thought about it and decided to drag his teacher into the water, "Dad, you mentioned the Western thief, and then I asked the teacher who the Western thief was, and the teacher said it was Li Yuanhao."

and so……

The real source is actually Zhao Zhen himself.

of course!

It must have something to do with his teacher, but his teacher does have the responsibility to inform him.

When Zhao Zhen heard this, it seemed quite reasonable.

But naturally, no one would take Zhao Xin's childish remarks seriously.

I planned to just say a few words and then get away with it.

I originally wanted to go to Madam Zhang's place, but Zhao Xin showed up halfway, so I guess I can't go to Madam Zhang's place.

He had no choice but to tell his subordinates, "Go to Madam Zhang and tell her that I will not be coming over today."

Zhao Xin looked at the man opposite him, saluted, then answered yes and left. He was thinking, Dad, aren't you making me hate you?

What if the other party resents me? Then he said, "Dad, you should go to Madam Zhang's place!"

Zhao Zhen was also very surprised and asked, "Why, don't you want Dad to stay with you?"

Zhao Xin said, "But Dad, just promise me one thing."

Zhao Zhen: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Xin: "When you go to court from now on, take me with you."

Don't tell me yet!

Under normal circumstances, Zhao Zhen might not agree to his unreasonable request.

But now his son actually took the initiative to ask him to go to Madam Zhang.

How could he not love such a sensible son?

Isn't it a bit too much for him to go to court at the age of three?

Seeing that the emperor seemed a little hesitant, Madam Miao must have a lot of plans in her mind.

Now, the official family has only this one son.

As for the Empress, it is probably that she will never be able to give birth again.

If his son could make it to the stage of attending court, then the throne would be within his grasp in the future.

In this way, maybe I can become the empress dowager in the future.

of course!

Whether she becomes the empress dowager or not is secondary. The most important thing is her son. As an elder sister, she naturally has to consider her son's future.

Although it was a bit too much for a three-year-old to attend court, Madam Miao thought it was not bad to give it a try.

He then did the opposite: "Your father is very busy in court, and you said you want to go to court too. Isn't that causing trouble for your father? Besides, the ministers outside will definitely not agree!"

The key point of this sentence is that the ministers outside also disagree.

As Madam Miao grew up with Zhao Zhen, doesn't she know who her emperor is?
in fact……

The emperor also had a stubborn character, that is, if the ministers outside did not agree with something, he would insist on doing it.

However, the government often ends up being no match for the ministers outside.

After all, when others talk, they quote from classics and spit directly in your face. You are alone, against several or even dozens of them. How can you say that you have won?

The Song Dynasty also emphasized not killing scholars and officials, which made the ministers outside even more unscrupulous.

If you spray it well, you might even get promoted in the future.

really!

Once Madam Miao said this, the ministers outside would definitely not agree.

Zhao Zhen's stubborn temper suddenly came out.

Without thinking, he said, "My son wants to go to court. I don't think anyone dares to refuse."

But after he finished speaking, he seemed to regret it a little.

Look at Zhao Xin.

After all, Zhao Xin is only three years old!
