The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 342
Zhao Kuangyin himself thought this way, first send Zhao Guangyi to the capital, let him go to the place to appease those Jiedu envoys, and he can solve other things in the capital by himself.

By the time Zhao Guangyi returned to the capital, the dust had basically settled all the time, so let him have a spare job and let him do it.

This is also Zhao Kuangyin's law. Since ancient times, imperial power has not allowed anyone to be disrespectful, even his own younger brother.

In fact, in Zhao Kuangyin's heart, his son is his son no matter what, and he will inherit everything from him in the future.

And although my younger brother is an "outsider" after all with my mother and compatriots, we must definitely guard against him.

Zhao Kuangyin sighed, and then went to rest. From this point of view, it is impossible for Zhao Kuangyin to pass the throne to his younger brother Zhao Guangyi.

"Sir, my father told me that he wants Gao Qiong to train in the army for a few days, what do you think?"

At night, Zhao Xu and Gao Guiying slept in each other's arms, whispering to each other. They hadn't been together quietly for a long time.

"Why Gao Qiong is still young, you are willing to let him enter the army so early." Zhao Xu also didn't understand what Gao Huaide wanted to do.

This Gao Qiong was only in his teens, and he was young enough to go to any army or feed horses. Besides, could he bear that crime?

"Daddy said that Gao Qiong asked for it himself. He doesn't like reading those books, and he doesn't plan to take the imperial examination. What else do you think he can do?"

Zhao Xu knew this brother-in-law, and it was true that he was interested in military books, but he was not interested in those old master's books at all.

Once this little guy also said that he must follow the example of the Huo Hussars in the Han Dynasty to drive out the Khitan and make contributions.

At that time, Zhao Xu just laughed it off, but a few years later, he really followed Zhao Xu to the north to conquer Khitan.

Looking at his beloved wife in his arms, Zhao Xu said suspiciously:

"In this case, you can let him stay with his father-in-law and practice for a while. There is no need to tell me. Now I don't personally lead the troops. I don't know if you have something to tell me."

Zhao Xu quickly realized, did this little girl beg me for something, otherwise she wouldn't be so coy.

"In fact, Daddy told me that too, but the place Gao Qiong wants to go to is your Forbidden Army Military Academy, that's why I mentioned this matter to you."

No wonder Gao Guiying wanted to tell Zhao Xu about this matter. It turned out that Zhao Xu was in charge of this matter.

The Forbidden Army Military Academy is extremely popular now, and everyone is proud to be able to enter it to study.

It is not for ordinary people to enter, the selection is extremely strict, both strict entry and even stricter exit, but those who have entered the Imperial Army Military Academy have all become junior officers.

And gradually their qualities are revealed, they are better than ordinary people, so many people really want to go in.

As I said just now, it is really not for ordinary people to enter. Now it is a series of assessments, and if they fail even a little, they will be kicked out.

The emperor left the Forbidden Army Military Academy to Zhao Xu alone, which meant that Zhao Xu had the final say.

Even the emperor would not interfere, these people have become his most loyal subordinates, this principal is really worthy.

This idea was learned from a great principal in another time and space, and practice has proved that it is still excellent.

"I see, you came through the back door, but people who go through the back door are there to give gifts, what have you prepared for me, hehe."

Zhao Xu looked at Gao Guiying and said jokingly.

However, his eyes were fixed on Gao Guiying's inadvertently revealed snow-white chest.

Before Gao Guiying could react, Zhao Xu pounced on him, and soon the house was full of joy.

At that time, Gao Guiying lay peacefully on Zhao Xu's chest, her clothes were satisfied, and her body was curled up in his arms, like a sleeping cat.

"It's not that I don't agree to mention him, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear the crime, so let him report to Gao Huailiang tomorrow and train for ten days to see the effect."

Gao Guiying had nothing to do with Zhao Xu's decision. It's not that she didn't want to say it, but she was too tired, so she fell into a deep sleep.

He woke up early the next day, and he would not go to court. Anyway, there is no major event now, so why not stay at home and take care of the children?
But it didn't take long for the eunuch on duty in Zichen Palace to come, saying that the emperor was still in court, but he had a decree for the prince.

It is said that today the emperor will give a banquet to all the officials to celebrate the complete success of the first imperial examination in the Song Dynasty, and the prince will also be allowed to participate at that time.

Zhao Xu understood that this was a celebration banquet, so he went to see the excitement. After freshening up, he was about to go and see what was going on.

The place where the banquet was given this time was the Jiying Hall. Generally, the emperors of the Song Dynasty hosted their ministers here, and this time was no exception.

Zhao Kuangyin was ready to go with two middle officials, and heard two officials talking about this matter on the way:

"Brother Cheng Xiang this time, don't be drunk and crazy like you used to be. The emperor this time is to celebrate my successful completion of the imperial examination. Don't make trouble."

"I said Wei Gong, I, Wang Zhu, know how to do such a thing. I'm not a drunkard, you see what you said."

Zhao Xu saw that one of these two people was Wei Renpu and the other was Wang Zhu. Everyone probably knew Wei Renpu.

This Wang Zhu is not very famous, but he is most famous for drinking, and he is extremely greedy.When Zhou Shizong died, he was appointed prime minister.

However, Fan Zhi suppressed this matter because he was greedy for drinking, made mistakes and could not take on the big responsibility.

"Oh, so it's the two adults, it's rare!"

"My minister pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness Qian'an!" The two of them immediately knelt down to salute when they saw that it was Zhao Xu.

He was stopped by Zhao Xu: "The two adults are important ministers of the country. How can this be so? Hurry up."

"This is Master Wang Zhuwang. I heard that you like good wine very much. If you have time, go to my East Palace. The wine in my East Palace is not good!"

Although Wang Zhu is not very well-known in history, he is really not an ordinary person who can make Chai Rong think of him when he is alone.

So Zhao Xu wanted to see how talented this person was, but Zhao Xu looked at Wei Renpu's resentful expression and said he was welcome anytime.

Wang Zhu, who couldn't resist the fine wine, would naturally not refuse, so he went to visit Zhao Xu and told Zhao Xu a big secret.

This also earned him Zhao Xu's trust, and later became Zhao Xu's important minister, and Wang Zhu said that he was only worth as much as a glass of wine.

This glass of wine was poured for him by Zhao Xu himself. For this reason, Wang Zhu sold his whole life to Zhao Xu, and he was later called the "Minister of Drinking Wine"
