The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 370
The Northern Expedition began.

The news of Zhao Kuangyin's personal conquest made the people in the capital very excited. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, their emperor has not had a personal conquest for a long time.

The people's interest is very high, which also boosts the morale of the soldiers who accompanied them on the expedition. They are carrying the hopes and sustenance of thousands of people on this trip. Their emperors have personally conquered them. Why don't they fight bravely? enemy?
The autumn wind was cool, and after the expedition team left, Liu Wei returned directly to the mansion. Although he was responsible for assisting the King of Martial Arts Zhao Dezhao, if it wasn't for some serious matter, he didn't need to talk to Zhao Dezhao at all, and Zhao Dezhao didn't want to. What advice does a person like Liu Wei have for himself?

After entering Ruyi County Lord's Mansion, Liu Wei found that the mansion was quite lively. Seeing Liu Wei's return, Lu Yi rushed to report that Princess Chaifeng brought her younger brother Zhao Yuanzuo.

Hearing this, Liu Wei was a little surprised. Zhao Yuanzuo is the eldest son of King Jin. He is only eight or nine years old this year. Liu Wei has always heard about it, but he has never seen it. Princess Chaifeng must have come to find Princess Ruyi for fun, but why? Bring Zhao Yuanzuo too?

When they came to the courtyard, Chai Feng and Princess Ruyi were sitting in the pavilion chatting, and not far away, an eight or nine-year-old child was staring at a tree in a daze. After Liu Wei came in, Chai Feng and Ruyi The two princesses had already found out, so they hurried over.

Chai Feng is still as generous as before, but as she grows older, she has matured a lot, at least after seeing Liu Wei, she will no longer be as careless as before.

"Liu Concubine finished seeing off the Holy Majesty and they came back?"

Liu Wei nodded: "Princess Chaifeng is here? I thought you followed your father to see you off."

"My younger brother Yuan Zuo and I originally wanted to go, but my father said Yuan Zuo was too young and it would be bad if the scene was too chaotic, so I brought him to play with my son-in-law."

After Chai Feng finished speaking, he waved to Zhao Yuanzuo, and Zhao Yuanzuo came to Liu Wei, saluted, and said, "Brother Liu is good."

Liu Wei smiled slightly: "Just now I saw you staring at a tree in a daze, what are you looking at?"

Liu Wei knew that among the sons of King Jin Zhao Guangyi in the history books, the eldest son Zhao Yuanzuo was the most brave, affectionate and alert, so he didn't think Zhao Yuanzuo was just in a daze.

Zhao Yuanzuo asked, but he didn't panic. He said, "There is a group of ants carrying food on the tree. I thought it was fun, so I took a look."

Liu Wei snorted, and said again: "Then what can you tell from those ants carrying food?"

When Liu Wei said this, Princess Ruyi found it funny.

"I said son-in-law, you are so funny, ants can see what they are carrying food, don't make things difficult for Yuan Zuo, he is still young."

Yuan Zuo was not angry when he was called a little kid, and smiled: "Actually, I really saw something, that is, Brother Liu, don't want to make a joke."

Seeing that Zhao Yuanzuo spoke like an adult at such a young age, Liu Wei felt that the King of Jin had promoted and educated him a lot. Thinking of the history that the King of Jin liked his eldest son the most, it was obvious from this.

"Oh, what did you see?"

"Although ants are small, they are huge in number, so they can carry a lot of food. Isn't this just like what we usually say, more people are more powerful?"

Liu Wei nodded, it's not bad to be able to see this from the ants carrying food at a young age.

Princess Ruyi and Chai Feng smiled slightly. They felt that although Zhao Yuanzuo could see this, it was not too shocking. Anyone can see it.

But when everyone smiled and nodded, Zhao Yuanzuo continued: "Although there are many ants, they are not chaotic. We know that they have a very clear division of labor. Only by cooperating with each other can such a large organization be able to Normal operation, and their division of labor is rarely achieved by us humans."

As soon as Zhao Yuanzuo said this, Princess Ruyi and Chai Feng were a little surprised. The previous words were too common, and they didn’t think it was a big deal, but Zhao Yuanzuo’s words were different. They could speak of division of labor and cooperation. If this is the case, it must be obtained after careful observation and thinking.

After listening to Zhao Yuanzuo's words, Liu Wei nodded. He suddenly admired Zhao Yuanzuo, and felt that if he was trained properly, he would be a young talent.

Moreover, Liu Wei faintly has a grander plan, but this plan takes time.

"That's right, that's right. We are a very small part of this world. Many things need to be done through division of labor and cooperation. You can see this at a young age. It's really good."

Hearing Liu Wei's praise, Zhao Yuanzuo showed a smug expression. Although he was a little precocious, he was still an eight or nine-year-old child, and his natural instincts had not died out, so he naturally did not lose his virginity.

And just after Liu Wei finished complimenting him, Zhao Yuanzuo suddenly laughed and said, "I heard from my father that brother Liu is very knowledgeable. My brother, I am studying Tang poetry. There are some things I don't understand. I wonder if I can ask brother Liu for advice?"

Liu Wei didn't dare to say how well he understood Tang poetry, but he had read a lot of annotations and new interpretations of the Book of Songs in his previous life, so it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a kid like Zhao Yuanzuo.

Thinking of this, Liu Wei smiled and said, "Oh, what don't you understand?"

Zhao Yuanzuo was about to speak, when Chai Feng suddenly pulled Princess Ruyi aside, and said, "The two brothers are talking about poetry, so let's not mix it up. I have a few things I want to say to my sister."

Princess Ruyi was still very interested in Zhao Yuanzuo's incomprehensible Tang poem, but Chai Feng said so, she had no choice but to follow him to the pavilion to chat.

And just after Princess Ruyi and Chai Feng left, Zhao Yuanzuo said softly:
Three days into the kitchen, washing hands to make soup.

If you don't know the nature of aunt's food, send your sister-in-law to taste it first.

After reciting like this, he asked: "Brother Liu, please explain in detail."

Liu Weichu was a little surprised when he heard this poem, because it was one of Wang Jian's poems for the newlyweds in the Tang Dynasty. Sister-in-law try it first.

This is a very simple and easy-to-understand poetic flavor, but if you delve deeper, it also has other meanings. Thinking about Chai Feng's behavior of pulling Princess Ruyi away just now, Liu Wei feels that this meaning is even more profound.

He knew that Chai Feng had a good impression of him, but Chai Feng might not know what she was thinking, so she called Zhao Yuanzuo to tell her such a poem. At this time, Zhao Yuanzuo and the sister in the poem almost played with the same effect.

When thinking like this, Liu Wei glanced at Zhao Yuanzuo. At this time, Zhao Yuanzuo looked calm, looking eager to know the answer. Liu Wei smiled slightly, so he told Zhao Yuanzuo the superficial meaning of the poem, and Zhao Yuanzuo listened to it After realizing it, but did not continue to ask.

After that, Liu Wei chatted with Zhao Yuanzuo about several other poems, and Liu Wei found that Zhao Yuanzuo still has some talent in this area, but he can't be called a genius in this area.

Later, Liu Wei brought up the topic of marching and fighting, so he asked Zhao Yuanzuo what he thought of fighting. Zhao Yuanzuo was a child, so he couldn't say anything.

Liu Wei smiled slightly and said: "If a country wants to achieve stable development, it must end wars with wars and use wars to frighten enemy countries. It is indeed not a good thing to fight wars, but if you are not strong enough, how can you protect your own people? people and family?"

Liu Wei said this just to cultivate a correct concept of Zhao Yuanzuo. In Liu Wei's view, the reason why the Song Dynasty has been bullied by others is that they did not take war seriously. If they knew that war is very important to a country things, they will understand that the summation of one bit cannot solve the problem.

Liu Wei didn't know if Zhao Yuanzuo understood, but he felt that he needed to speak, because maybe he didn't understand now, but it might not be that he would understand gradually as he grew older.

Zhao Yuanzuo stood in front of Liu Wei, and suddenly jumped up after a long time: "What Brother Liu said is so reasonable, I decided to practice martial arts more from now on, to protect my family and the country."

Liu Wei nodded, and said: "War is not a means of destruction. War is only to protect our interests and the people from harm. We can wage war, but the premise is that launching a war is beneficial to us..."

Liu Wei told Zhao Yuanzuo a lot. He didn't know if Zhao Yuanzuo could understand and understood at a young age, but he still said it.

After about an hour, Chai Feng left with Zhao Yuanzuo.

However, after the two left Ruyi County Lord's Mansion, Chai Feng asked impatiently: "Yuan Zuo, have you asked the poem that my sister asked you to ask?"

Zhao Yuanzuo smiled: "My sister asked me to ask."

"Oh, what did Concubine Liu say?"

"He explained the meaning of the poem to me."

"Didn't you say anything else?"

"no!"

Hearing Zhao Yuanzuo's words, Princess Chaifeng was somewhat disappointed. She originally used this poem to express her love to Liu Wei, but Liu Wei didn't say anything, which made her feel suddenly lost.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuanzuo didn't continue talking. In fact, although he is young, he doesn't know what his sister thinks. Moreover, after Liu Wei explained the meaning of the poem, he already understood that his sister asked him to ask this poem. What does the poem mean, but he didn't continue to ask.

It's not that he thinks too much, but that he doesn't know how to ask. After all, he is just a child, and the relationship between adults is very complicated. He doesn't understand, and he doesn't think Liu Wei is so powerful that he deserves his sister. Missing him so much, even though Liu Wei already has Princess Ruyi in her family, she doesn't mind at all and wants to marry him.
