Emperor Renzong of the Great Song Dynasty

Like all parents sending their children to school for the first time in the world, Zhao Yiyi was also very concerned about Zhao Xu's situation at school.

Of course, unlike other parents, he was not worried that Zhao Xu would be bullied by his classmates at school.

Whoever dares to bully her will die.

What he cared about was whether Zhao Xu made friends in school, and whether he took this opportunity to spread his reputation.

After all, he sent Zhao Xu to Qingbei University in order to support her to go to the outside world, so that she could become the crown prince and inherit the big position in a legitimate way.

Fortunately, Zhao Xu was worthy of being the 666 Sage King, so he naturally knew how to win the hearts of the people for himself.It has only been half a year since she left the palace to go to school, and it has been rumored that the princess of the Qin Kingdom is smart, studious, heroic and generous, she really deserves to be of royal blood.

Originally, some people questioned why the princess, a female class, would come to a man's place to go to school.Gradually, those who raised doubts were subdued by the princess, and no one mentioned these clichés anymore.

It's just that occasionally someone would say, since the princess has gone to school with the children of ordinary people, why is His Royal Highness the King of Chu still in the deep palace?

No one can answer this question, and no one dares to think deeply about it.

But for Zhao benefit, the answer is very simple.

Because his eldest son, His Royal Highness Zhao Dan, King of Chu in the Great Song Dynasty, has determined to convert to Taoism and is trying to figure out how to become a monk.

Zhao Yiyi first heard about Zhao Dan's desire to become a monk from Zhao Xu.

At that time, Zhao Xu had just studied at Qingbei University for a few days and hadn't gotten close to his classmates yet. Zhao Yiyi only vaguely heard that Princess Dudu was getting closer to a man surnamed Wang.

Zhao Yiyi had suspected that Zhao Xu's lewdness had committed again. He was only half-hearted after hearing that the man's face was not very handsome. Gong Hou made indirect remarks, asking her what kind of friends she had made in school, and asking her if anyone had gossiped about her.

After hearing that the man surnamed Wang was named Wang Anshi, his heart was completely at ease.

"Father," Zhao Xu asked him while waving his fan, "Someone in school asked me when my brother would go out to study."

Her elder brother is Zhao Yiyi's only son, King Zhao Dan of Chu.

Zhao Yiyi said: "Your elder brother won't go. After two years, your mother will find a marriage for him. When the time comes, she will leave the palace to open a house and set up her own family, so she won't have to go to school."

He and Kou Yaoniang have a perfect tacit understanding in parenting, that is, each takes care of his own and does not interfere with each other.Kou Yaoniang didn't care about Zhao Xu's affairs, and Zhao Yiyi didn't interfere with Zhao Dan's growth.

So Zhao Xu said in surprise, "Father, brother, he won't get married. He's going to become a monk." Before that, he really didn't know that his son wanted to be a Taoist priest.

Surprise is surprise, and it makes sense to think about it carefully.Kou Yaoniang herself has some amazing abilities, and she doesn't care about fame and fortune in the world.It is only natural for Zhao Dan, who was raised by her, to want to convert to Taoism.

However, he is the only prince after all, and rashly becoming a monk will always lead to some discussions.Therefore, Zhao Yiyi sent a message to Kou Yaoniang, asking her to persuade Zhao Dan not to formally become a monk for the time being, and it will not be too late to leave after the dust settles here and his sister's reserve is stable.

Kou Yaoniang also replied to him, saying that Zhao Dan is still studying Taoism by himself, and that their school is somewhat different from the serious sect of the Three Mountains and Five Mountains, and they are not in a hurry to get on the altar to receive precepts.So Zhao Yiyi felt relieved.

He watched Zhao Xu gradually become more stable and mature from a 16-year-old girl, and he also watched her getting closer and closer to the crown prince.

Suddenly one day, he saw Zhao Xu come back from the outside in a daze, sitting in front of him, and said with straight eyes: "Father, I want him to be my husband."

Zhao Yiyi put down the official document in his hand, pinched his eyebrows: "Who?"

Although Zhao Xu wanted a handsome man to be her husband every now and then, she never lost her mind as much as this time.

Therefore, Zhao Yiyi felt that she might be sincere this time, she really fell in love with a man, and wanted to grow old with her forever.

He was quite curious about which man had such great ability to make Zhao Xu take care of him.

As a result, Zhao Xu said, "It's the son of Shumi Di's family."

Zhao Yiyi pinched the hand between his eyebrows and couldn't help but pause: "Oh...it's him."

The son of Di Qing and Fan Lingyi, they are old acquaintances.

It seems that Zhao Xu didn't meet true love beyond appearance, but met the pinnacle of beauty——

After Di Qing's son was born, he had a hunch that the product of the combination of a handsome man like Di Qing and a slender lady like Fan Lingyi would definitely be better than blue.Sure enough, young master Di could tell that he was a beauty when he was six or seven years old, much prettier than that kid from Zhao Yunxi's family.At the age of thirteen or fourteen, it gradually grows, and has some youthful demeanor, and even shows some signs of being overwhelmed by the country.

Because of this, even though Di Qing was his close confidant and logically Zhao Xu's cousin, he never dared to let Zhao Xu see this young master Di once.

Sure enough, Zhao Xu looked dazed: "Secretary Di is my cousin, so he is my cousin... They are all relatives, why have I never met before..."

Between the words, there is a taste of regret.

Zhao Yiyi coughed: "A Xu?"

Zhao Xu finally came back to look at him: "Father, my daughter is eighteen, and she should have a husband."

Zhao Yiyi looked at her: "Have you thought about it yet?"

Zhao Xu nodded heavily: "My daughter has made up her mind."

Zhao Yiyi sighed suddenly and rubbed her hair: "My princess has grown up."

Zhao Xu held his hand sincerely: "My daughter will always be Daddy's princess. Daddy, my daughter wants to get married as soon as possible."

Zhao Yiyi smiled and said, "No hurry. You are the one who wants to be the emperor," he said in a slightly explicit manner, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Xu's eyes no longer in a daze, but came to his senses, "If you are a man or woman from an ordinary family, If you say you like it, then you like it. He is your cousin's son, so you can't neglect him. If you really want him to be your husband, why not wait another two years until your father formally canonize you as the heir apparent, and then make various arrangements to marry him. How do you like this?"

Zhao Xu said: "I will follow my father's orders."

Two years later, Zhao benefited from the imperial decree promulgated by the First Moon Court, and the princess of Qin State was canonized as the reserve.The public was in an uproar, and the princess went to the palace with her hair thrown out, knelt down and cried, begging her father to take back her orders.All the ministers please establish His Royal Highness the King of Chu.The king of Chu entered the Wanyan book and resigned firmly.The princess ran to the mansion of the king of Chu in bare feet, and Li Xue in her single clothes, asked her elder brother to accept the position of prince.The king of Chu left the mansion through the back door and entered the queen's palace.The princess chased to the queen's palace and grabbed the sleeve of the king of Chu. The king of Chu broke off the sleeve and fled.

A big drama was sung from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and finally ended with the princess of Qin Zhao Xu being appointed as the crown prince, and everyone was happy.

After securing the position of crown prince, Zhao Xu personally went to the Di mansion to ask for marriage, and asked Di Yong, the eldest son of the Di family, to be his husband.

Throughout the ages, there has never been a woman as the crown prince, and naturally there has never been a man as the husband of the crown prince.But marriage between a man and a woman is commonplace after all, and Di Yong admires the beauty of the princess, and Fan Lingyi recalls the dream when Di Yong was born, and feels that it is God's will.So the wedding date is set after the Dragon Boat Festival next year.

In mid-April, Zhao Yiyi brought Zhao Xu to Xingkong Island.

The world is full of fragrance in April, and the island is cooler by the cold wind blowing from the sea.

A huge steel ship was moored in the newly built port.The sea breeze is very fishy, ​​perhaps because there are fishing boats entering the port.

Zhao Yiyi pointed to the giant ship and said, "Ah Xu, look."

Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes: "What a big boat."

Zhao Yiyi said: "This is the largest ship at present, with a length of ninety feet and a width of twelve feet. In order to build her, Jiang Ping almost sold everything. I named her the Rising Sun. This is yours. Ship. Of course, after you ascend the throne, if you think she is guilty, you can change it."

Zhao Xu smiled: "Mine?"

Zhao Yiyi said: "I said, when you get married, I will give you a big boat."

"The Rising Sun, together with a dozen other ships, formed a fleet. This fleet was built with domestic funds and will go to sea before this fall."

Zhao Xu asked: "Do you go to sea to trade with foreign businessmen?"

Zhao Xu shook his head: "No, don't go west. Go east."

"What's to the east?"

"another world."

The sea breeze made the hair on Zhao Xu's forehead messy, and Zhao Yiyi helped her pin it behind her ears.

"For such a long voyage, there must be an experienced captain."

Zhao Yiyi said: "Yeah... That's why I came to find her. I hope she is waiting for me too."

There was a burst of noise and laughter from the side. It turned out that some young people came back from the sea dragging a small sampan.There are small fish baskets hanging on the sampan. Even if they are full, it is only a small catch.

But looking at their bright smiling faces, maybe they don't care how little the harvest of this trip is.

The young man in the lead had a face as white as jade, lips as vermilion, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, with a clear expression, which attracted Zhao Xu to take a second look.

Zhao Yiyi coughed lightly, and pointed to the lighthouse in the distance: "Look at that lighthouse, they built it a few years ago, as long as it is not foggy, ships ten miles away can see the light on the top of the tower , you won’t get lost.”

Zhao Xu nodded: "That's very good."

From a distance, I saw a woman coming from the direction of Lu Mansion on the island.The young man who was glanced at by Zhao Xu saw her, rushed forward in surprise, said a few words to her, and then went their separate ways.

The woman walked in front of Zhao Yiyi and Zhao Xu, and she was full of happiness: "I have seen the official family and His Royal Highness the Prince."

Without waiting for Zhao Yiyi to call out, she got up by herself.Only then did Zhao Xu see clearly the hideous scar on half of her face.

Shi Yunniang said: "Officials, the concubine has been waiting so hard for the past ten years."

Zhao Yiyi turned around, facing the endless expanse of waves and clear water, he said, "Madam, please believe me, I also waited very hard."

In the fourth year of the Rising Sun's voyage, it finally returned to the Sky Island.It brought not only novel crops that had never been seen before, but also news of the "new world" overseas.

Zhao Xu and Di Yong's marriage also tended to be flat.In the second year of their marriage, Zhao Xu gave birth to a pair of twins.From the third year onwards, the princess gradually disappeared at night.Zhao Yiyi himself did not agree with such flirtatious behavior, but since Zhao Xu's private life was a bit chaotic, he was becoming more and more familiar with the way of being a king, and he already had the appearance of a wise king, so he turned a blind eye to it .

In the third year of the opening of the new world, Zhao Yiyi officially abdicated the throne to the crown prince Zhao Xu, and went to sea by himself.

This time, he was impatient with the tricks of giving in and out of words.As soon as the edict of abdication was read out on the front foot, the back foot was ready to leave the palace and go south.Zhao Xu was well aware of his determination, and he didn't act like he did when he was named the crown prince. He just insisted on sending him to the ship himself.

They are still the sea from the sunken island.Zhao Yiyi stepped down from the throne of the emperor, and in the past 30 years, he finally had the relaxed feeling of "my body is actually my body".

He took good care of the world and handed it over to a sage king.He has no regrets about the world and the common people.

Zhao Xu and all the civil and military officials lined up at the port, watching the giant ship carrying their emperor drift away in the waves.

On the ship, Zhao Yiyi patted Liu En on the shoulder: "I am no longer the emperor, do you still want to follow me?"

Liu Endao: "His Royal Highness doesn't need me."

Zhao Yiyi smiled: "Yes, she is a pure and natural 666 emperor, and she can be a good emperor without any cheating device."

Liu Endao: "I have nowhere to go anyway, so why not just follow you."

Zhao Yiyi leaned on the railing and gazed into the distance, greedily staring at the turbulent and free blue sky. Suddenly, he seemed to see something between the sea and the sky.

He knew that his eyesight was not good, so he called Liu En over: "Look quickly, what is that!"

Liu En turned his head and saw two men and women who were not dressed like ordinary people standing under the blue sky and between the white waves.They blessed Zhao Yiyi, and when they saw him waving at them, they disappeared into the waves just like when they appeared without warning.
