Returned to the Song Dynasty and became a faint king

The next day, I got up early again. I put on my golden armor again, this time the difference from last time is that I also equipped the visor! When others look at me, they can only see two eyes. This is also to prevent Liang Hongyu from recognizing me.

When I led hundreds of officials to the generals' platform, there were already more than [-] soldiers standing below. There are [-] soldiers from the four city guards, and the rest are the generals' respective troops.

Yue Fei, Yang Cunzhong, and Han Shizhong stood at the front wearing armor. I slowly climbed up to the general stage and shouted as loudly as last time: Whose soldiers are you? The soldiers below shouted in unison: The marshal's soldiers are so loud that they shake the sky! It seems that my good intentions were not in vain.

I shouted like this three times, and my military morale was ready. Then I asked someone to bring up the dragon, tiger and dog guillotine, and I said to the soldiers below: Did the soldiers see this? These ten guillotines will be carried to Daming and Cizhou. If someone embezzles your salary, someone pretends to claim your military merit. Just report him, no matter if he is a relative of the emperor or a high-ranking official. I will make other people's heads fall to the ground, the Yi tribe. When you arrive at Daming and Cizhou, you must tell the defenders what I said.

After the soldiers below heard this, they all shouted loudly: Marshal-in-Chief Shengming, long live the Marshal-in-Chief. He shouted three times in a row. I was very happy that I finally had my military spirit in my hands! Then they sealed the official positions and military power of Yue Fei, Yang Cunzhong, and Han Shizhong, and then they left with their soldiers.

After sending Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Yang Cunzhong and the soldiers away, I returned to Chengde Hall! Because there are no major events in the court now. The places where there are major events are Fang La in the south and Jin and Yuan in the north. These two places don’t require me to do anything myself, so I went back to Chengde Hall!

After breakfast, it was another day of doing nothing. I took Shao Chengzhang to the East Palace to check it out. The hot springs in the East Palace have been repaired!

The hot spring water is used to circle around the East Palace, forming a large pond in the center of the East Palace. The bottom of the pond is entirely paved with jade. It's really a whole rock with the bottom being the rock. It's so beautiful.

This hot spring is not only warm in winter and cool in summer, but can also prevent the East Palace from catching fire. These craftsmen are really well-intentioned! I said to Shao Chengzhang: Go and reward each craftsman with ten taels of silver.

After hearing this, Shao Chengzhang left immediately and went to pay the silver rewards to the craftsmen. I saw that there was no one here, so I said to the eunuchs and maids beside me: "You all should step aside. You are not allowed to come without my call." After hearing this, the palace maid and eunuch immediately retreated slowly into the distance.

Seeing them all leaving, I immediately took off my clothes and jumped into the hot spring with a splash. It's so comfortable. It's late autumn now and the weather is a little colder. But the hot spring was very warm, and I spent the whole morning flailing in it.

Until Shao Chengzhang told me that the lunch meal was ready. He asked me where I would eat. I couldn't bear to mess up the East Palace, so I decided to go back to Chengde Palace for dinner.

So we went back to Chengde Hall to eat. We had just had lunch. A young eunuch outside reported to me that Fan Zhongyan was outside asking for an audience.

After hearing this, I quickly asked them to invite Fan Zhongyan in. Soon Fan Zhongyan came in with a few children. I saw that one of these children was a little girl of twelve or thirteen, who looked very beautiful.

There were three boys left, one of whom was Bao Zheng, and two little boys who looked similar. The older one was about the same age as Bao Zheng, and the younger one looked about seven or eight years old.

Needless to say, I know that they must be brothers Li Qingzhao, Su Shi, and Su Che. I didn’t expect Li Qingzhao to be so old! She is one level higher than Bao Zheng, so it seems impossible to bring her and Bao Zheng together.

Fan Zhongyan introduced the three children to me and left in a hurry. He still has a lot of things to deal with and is not as free as I am.

After Fan Zhongyan left. Li Qingzhao took the two brothers Su Shi and Su Che and knelt down to me and said: "Common people have come to see the Emperor. I wonder what the Emperor's orders are when he comes to us?" Li Qingzhao looked like a big sister.

I looked at the three children who looked like little adults and liked them very much. So I said to the three of them: I see that you three have extraordinary abilities, and I want to accept you three as my direct disciples. What do you think?

The three of them actually had no expressions after hearing this, as if they had known about it for a long time. Brothers Su Shi and Su Che also looked at Li Qingzhao, meaning to let Li Qingzhao make the decision.

Li Qingzhao got up on his own, and then said: Your Majesty, all common people have fathers who teach themselves, so I don’t need a husband! Brothers Su Shi and Su Che also nodded quickly to express their approval.

Damn it, these kids are not easy to coax! So I came up with a plan and said: How about we compete? Two out of three games, whoever wins will be the master.

After hearing this, Li Qingzhao immediately said: A gentleman's words. I replied: "Hurry up and whip your horse." Li Qingzhao said: Okay, let's bet! Don't cheat when you lose. I immediately said: You are a puppy.

After hearing this, Li Qingzhao immediately said: Okay, whoever cheats is a puppy. Your Majesty, tell me what to do! I said: By the way, you can choose, you should defeat my eldest disciple first! After saying that, I pulled Bao Zheng out.

Li Qingzhao looked at Bao Zheng with disdain in his eyes. She said to brothers Su Shi and Su Che: You two should compete with this black-faced doll first! Brothers Su Shi and Su Che agreed immediately after hearing this.

After final agreement, Bao Zheng single-handedly challenged the brothers Su Shi and Su Che. There are three competitions in total. The first competition is about memory, the second competition is about poetry writing, and the third competition is about arithmetic.

After hearing this, I felt very relieved about Bao Zheng. No one could compete with Bao Zheng in a memory competition. When Bao Zheng was five years old, he memorized the Three-Character Classic and Hundred Family Surnames in just two days. When it comes to poetry writing, Bao Zheng may not be as good as brothers Su Shi and Su Che. But Bao Zheng must be very good at arithmetic. Bao Zheng uses reasoning to solve many cases. Can he not be good at mathematics?

After discussion. In the first scene, Li Qingzhao randomly found a book in the Chengde Hall and asked Su Shi, Su Che brothers and Bao Zheng to watch it at the same time, and then see who could recite the most. The one who recites the most wins.

So Li Qingzhao started rummaging through boxes and cabinets in Chengde Hall. Soon Li Qingzhao found a thick book, which turned out to be Zizhi Tongjian. When Bao Zheng saw it, he immediately said: Change it to another one! I already know this book by heart!

Li Qingzhao didn't believe it after hearing this, so she tested Bao Zheng from the middle, and Bao Zheng answered completely correctly. Then Li Qingzhao asked a dozen different questions in succession, and Bao Zheng answered them all correctly.

Bao Zheng's memory and upright character shocked Li Qingzhao and brothers Su Shi and Su Che. Then Li Qingzhao decided to recite the memorial after discussing with Su Shi and Su Che.

They both shared fifty memorials and watched to see who could recite them first. It seems that they themselves felt that they were no match for Bao Zheng, so they played some tricks.

How could their scheme escape Bao Zheng's eyes, but Bao Zheng did not expose them, but agreed. So Li Qingzhao selected fifty memorials for Bao Zheng, and Bao Zheng selected fifty memorials for brothers Su Shi and Su Che.

After getting into a good posture, they both began to recite. Li Qingzhao quickly recited twenty-five memorials for each of Su Shi and Su Che brothers. Bao Zheng also picked up the memorial and began to recite it. Bao Zheng quickly recited a memorial at a glance and ten lines.

Su Shi didn't give in too much and quickly recited one following Bao Zheng. Su Zhe was just a little behind. After all, he was only eight years old this year, but he wasn't that far behind.

The three of them recited the first dozen memorials very quickly. After that, Su Che slowed down. After Bao Zheng had recited two memorials, Su Che could only recite one. However, Su Shi is a little better than Su Che. Su Shi can memorize one and a half pages.

Bao Zheng's speed never changed, and he recited one after another in an orderly manner. When Bao Zheng had memorized twenty memorials, Su Shi had memorized fifteen and Su Che had memorized twelve.

When Bao Zheng had memorized forty pieces, Su Shi had memorized twenty-three pieces, and Su Che had memorized twenty pieces. Soon Su Shi had finished reciting it, and then he longed to recite it. Su Che still had two pieces left to memorize. Bao Zheng has one more piece that he has not recited.

After Bao Zheng finished reciting the last one, he took the memorial and started reciting it to Li Qingzhao. After Su Shi stumbledly finished reciting the twenty-five memorials, Su Che also quickly started reciting them to me.

By the time Su Che had memorized the twentieth memorial, Bao Zheng had already finished reciting it to Li Qingzhao. Actually, Li Qingzhao had no choice but to declare Bao Zheng's victory.
