Rebirth of Glory and Splendour

Wei Chongrong thought that his expression should be very deep and serious, but he forgot one thing, that is, his meaty face, coupled with such an expression, was as weird as it could be.

Wei Zhao watched from the side, and couldn't help "puchi" laughing: "Okay, okay, come down quickly, don't always rely on uncle, and don't think about how heavy you are."

Wei Chongrong gave Wei Zhao a "sorrowful" look, and took the initiative to slide to the ground to stand upright, but he was thinking in his heart, you are my own father, you can't take pleasure in making fun of your son.

Wei Ming was obviously more sympathetic than Wei Zhao, he touched Wei Chongrong's chubby cheek, and said with a smile, "Rong'er looks good, you should be happy, if you are weak and sick like Mao'er, don't worry kill you."

Wei Zhao suppressed his smile, pulled his son into his arms, kissed each other's faces, and said seriously: "Rong'er followed me and suffered a lot. If you are a little bit unlucky, you may not see him again." When the old incident was brought up again, Wei Zhaofei didn't feel relaxed, but felt scared.

Wei Ming raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him: "Azhao, it's all over, don't think about those unhappy things anymore." Wei Chongrong imitated Wei Ming's movements and patted Wei Zhao too.

Five days later, the emperor drove to Shanglin Garden.Wei Zhao took Wei Chongrong to accompany him.

The royal carriage is grand and the speed is definitely not fast. Sitting in the carriage, Wei Chongrong recited the contents of the Protestant teachings of his husband three times. There was nothing to do, so he asked Wei Zhao: "Daddy, can I go out and ride?" How about a horse?"

When he was in Fuyu, he often went out on his own on a pony, and when he returned to Yujing, he never had such an opportunity. Occasionally, Wei Zhao would hold him with him when he rode a horse. He never controlled the horse by himself. The taste on the back.

Wei Zhao glanced at the winding line outside the window, he shook his head and said, "Not now, your pony is at home and you haven't brought it out, we'll talk about it when we get to Shanglinyuan first."

Wei Chongrong lay on top of Wei Zhao, blinked and said, "I don't want to ride a pony, I want to ride 'Liuyun'." His eyes were shining, obviously full of expectation.

Back then, Princess Gaochang gave his younger brother two Wusun horses, which Wei Zhao named "Meteor" and "Liuyue" respectively.Liuxing followed Wei Zhao to Fuyu, and was shot and killed when he was captured. Liuyue gave birth to a pony, and then went on a hunger strike to die in love.When Wei Ming heard about this, he ordered someone to take good care of the pony, and after Wei Zhao returned, he returned the horse to him, which was "Liu Yun".Wei Chongrong especially likes Liuyun, he is tall and mighty, and he is very handsome. It's a pity that Wei Zhao won't let him ride alone, no matter how much he begs, it's useless.

"No." Wei Zhao refused his son's unreasonable request without thinking about it.It is true that Wei Chongrong's level of horse riding is far beyond that of ordinary people, but he is a child after all, and it is nothing more than a pony underage. How dare he let him ride alone on a strong horse like Liuyun.

Wei Chongrong had expected such a result, he was not very disappointed, he just pulled Wei Zhao's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Daddy, just let me ride for a while, Liuyun is very good and won't fall to me. Daddy, are you okay?"

Liuyun is violent by nature, when he was raised in the East Palace, no one could ride it except Wei Ming and Wei Xuan.But it seems to have a natural affection for Wei Zhao and Wei Chongrong, and since Wei Xuan brought it back, it has become very close to them, changing its previous violent temper.

Wei Zhao couldn't see what Wei Chongrong was thinking, pinched his cheek and said with a smile: "Liu Yun is definitely not good, it's useless for you to act like a baby, and tell me when you grow up to be as tall as a horse."

Wei Chongrong waited for Wei Zhao's words, and said along the way: "Liuyun can't do it, other horses should do it." Retreat is the way to advance, as it was mentioned in Sun Tzu's Art of War, Wei Zhao gave Huo Qingyang the other day Talking about the art of war, he heard it from the side.

Sure enough, Wei Zhao didn't insist anymore, he sat up with Wei Chongrong in his arms, and ordered the followers outside to find him a docile mare.He could tell that if Wei Chongrong was not allowed to go out to ride a horse, he would not want to have a moment of peace.

The horse was soon brought, and Wei Chongrong jumped off the couch, and asked Wei Zhao excitedly, "Daddy, do you want to go out to get some air?" Riding in a carriage is uncomfortable, especially if it's a slow one.

Wei Zhao waved his hand, expressing that he did not want to go, and Wei Chongrong climbed onto the horse by himself.He reined the horse lightly, stretched out his hand and patted the horse's head, and the horse jumped out with cheerful steps.

"Your Highness, the little prince, he, he..." The groom was frightened and couldn't speak fluently.He has raised horses in the palace for many years. It is unprecedented for a prince and grandson of Wei Chongrong's age to ride a horse instead of being led by someone else.

Wei Zhao said disapprovingly: "It's okay, let him go, Rong'er can walk and ride a horse." After finishing speaking, he put down the curtain of the car, leaving the entourage and the groom outside to look at each other. His Royal Highness Qin's heart was a little too big .

Shanglin Garden is located in the north of Yujing City. It has a grand scale and numerous palaces. It covers an area several times that of the imperial city. Because of its unique scenery and gorgeous palaces, it is a favorite place for tours by emperors of all dynasties.

From the imperial palace to Shanglin Garden, there was a straight and wide royal road. Due to the old age of the emperor, the imperial chariot moved extremely slowly and very smoothly. Wei Su leaned on the wide throne, and could hardly feel that he was moving.

Suddenly, Arima neighed from the side, awakening the drowsy emperor.Wei Su said displeased: "Who is making noise here?"

Huangmen ordered Su Wen to kneel and said: "Return to Your Majesty, it's His Royal Highness King Qin's young son riding a horse outside..." When they first saw it, they all thought it was their own eyesight.

Wei Su snorted softly: "Did King Qin invite you to be crowned son? You just called..." It turned out to be that brat, and he didn't want to see him.

Su Wen hastily pleaded guilty and said: "Your Majesty will punish you for making a slip of the tongue." Before he finished speaking, the neighing sound went away and returned, making Su Wen's face change in fright.

Wei Su lifted the curtain smoothly, but saw that Wei Chongrong was the only one on the fast-moving horse, his expression changed, and he said, "The king of Qin is here, I have something to ask him."

Su Wen didn't dare to look up at the emperor's expression, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, do you want King Qin's young master to ride a horse elsewhere, so as not to..."

"No, just let him here." Wei Su waved his hands, with a half smile on his face.That little wolf cub is not yet five years old. When Wei Zhao was his age, he couldn't drive a horse by himself, which was interesting.

After Wei Chongrong got off the car, Wei Zhao was a little sleepy, so he lay on the couch to catch up on sleep. Just as he was about to fall asleep, Xiao Huangmen sent a message, saying that the emperor had summoned him.

Wei Zhao woke up in an instant, tidied his clothes a little, and hurriedly followed, but thought in his heart, why did the emperor call him suddenly? Could it be that Rong'er ran too wildly and startled the holy car.

Entering the imperial chariot, Wei Zhaoji first attended the ceremony and said: "My son pays homage to the father, the father is always happy."

Wei Su raised his chin, signaling Wei Zhao to excuse himself.Wei Zhao got up calmly and stood with his hands down.Wei Su said again: "Come here, sit down."

Wei Zhao moved over and sat down on the footrest in front of the throne.Wei Su raised his hand, lightly placed it on his face, and said after a long while, "Compared to when he was in the palace, he has lost some weight. What did Duanmuhui say?" is very understanding.

Wei Zhao didn't dare to hide it, and replied truthfully: "The damaged tendons need to be carefully recuperated. If the method is right, it can recover more than [-]%." After speaking, he rested his head on the emperor's lap, just like when he was a child.

Wei Su looked down at him and murmured, "Azhao, you don't have to push yourself too hard. Leading troops in battle is important in strategizing, and you don't need to do everything yourself." The Ji family has led the army for generations, and not every Changning king is good at fighting. .

Wei Zhao replied softly: "My son understands, thank you father for your concern."

Wei Su stroked his cheek, and said after a long while: "After the end of the year, I will ask some old fellows from the Imperial Hospital to consult with you. If they all say that there is no problem, you can go back to the Dongcheng Camp."

Wei Zhao raised his head and said, "I have thanked my father." There was slight excitement in his voice.

Dayan's military system was inherited from the Shenchuan Dynasty, which was divided into the capital army and local troops, and the capital army was divided into three parts: the forbidden army, the Dongcheng camp and the Xicheng camp.

The Forbidden Army is the army guarding the imperial city. The commander is the commander. The main soldiers under it are the Guard Order of the South Palace, the Guard Order of the North Palace, and the left and right. They are also called the "Northern Army" because they are stationed in the north of the city.

Dongcheng Daying and Xicheng Daying are the elite part of the Dayan army. According to Emperor Taizu's will, Dongcheng Daying is in charge of Prince Ping and Prince Jing, while Xicheng Daying is in charge of King Yong'an and King Changning.

Since Prince Jing's title has no children, and the line of King Yong'an has changed to the civilian route, so for many years, the forces of the East and West Battalions have basically been in the hands of King Pingjun and King Changning.

The first Prince Ping, Wei Shang, was the uncle of Emperor Taizu. He made great contributions to the founding of Dayan. His title was originally hereditary. Stopped at the position of Prince Ping.

When the princes of the Wei family join the army, they always go to the Dongcheng Camp, and Wei Zhao is no exception.It's just that his mother's family is Changning Prince's Mansion, and some people raised objections to this, saying that the Ji family has always been in charge of the Xicheng camp, and they are almost becoming their private soldiers. .The emperor was furious when he saw Zhezi, and reprimanded the minister who had submitted Zhezi, demoted him three ranks in a row, and demoted him to the border to herd sheep.

At that time, Jun Lin had passed away, Ji Qing and his son were not alive, Ji Xin was still an ignorant child, Ji Jiakong had influence in the army, but no leader, Wei Zhao's appearance was just right, that man was simply a Slap on the horse's hoof.

Wei Zhao entered the Dongcheng camp at the age of 12. His roots in the army are all there. Wei Su is willing to let him go back. His revenge plan is considered to be the first step.

"Azhao, do you want to make the little wolf cub the crown prince?" Wei Su still has no liking for Wei Chongrong. This kind of dislike comes from his blood, and has nothing to do with his personal excellence.

Wei Zhao raised his head, looked directly at the emperor, nodded and said, "Yes." According to the royal practice, the eldest son of a prince or county king can ask for the title of heir when he is ten years old. , Only by passing the examination of Zongzheng Temple can he be named the son of the world.

Wei Su frowned, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, and asked back: "You don't plan to get married?" The position of the eldest son is gone, how can aristocrats of aristocratic families be willing to marry their daughters to Wei Zhao? its bit.

"Don't think about it for now, let's talk about it later." The grievances with Helian Zhuo are not over, Wei Zhao has no time to think about the love between his children, let alone the person he likes, they are no longer possible.

"Zongzheng Temple won't approve your request." Zongzhengqing and Wei Zhao met with just one name. If Wei Zhao had no other sons, it would not be possible until he became an adult. Whether it will be successful or not depends on his ability.

The corners of Wei Zhao's lips rose, and he said firmly, "Rong'er is fine. He has both talent and hard work." He had already thought about it, and the one who could inherit his throne could only be Wei Chongrong, not other people.

Seeing Wei Zhao's obviously showing off his proud expression, Wei Su felt inexplicably heartbroken. He used to show off his son in front of others, but now Wei Zhao actually showed off in front of him. It seems that the little wolf cub, There are still merits.

"Really?" Wei Su narrowed his eyes, and said expressionlessly, "Then I'll take a look." He was different from the queen, Wei Zhao didn't want to get married, so he wouldn't force him.

Wei Zhao was overjoyed, and buried his head back on Wei Su's lap, and rubbed it lightly.This trick was learned from Wei Chongrong.Sure enough, Wei Su was very satisfied with his son's behavior of being close to him, and chatted with him about the daily life.

Wei Chongrong had had enough of having fun, so he slowed down. He originally wanted to wait for Wei Zhao to get off the imperial chariot and go back to the car with him.

Unexpectedly, we waited and waited, but Wei Zhao did not come out. Wei Chongrong was shivering from the cold, so he had to wrap his clothes tightly and climb back into the car. While shivering, he thought about what Wei Zhao was doing on the imperial chariot. Fell asleep.

Wei Zhao stayed with Wei Su for a long time, and he didn't step down from the imperial chariot until the emperor took a lunch break.When I got back to the carriage, my son was already sleeping in a ball, like a cute little pig.Wei Zhao laughed dumbfounded, took Wei Chongrong into his arms, and fell asleep with him.

Shanglin Garden is not far from the imperial city, but only two hundred li, and it can be reached in half a day on a fast horse, but the imperial chariot is heavy and the car is slow, so it is not uncommon to walk for two days.

Because Wei Su let Wei Zhao accompany him all the way, the rumors about King Qin falling out of favor disappeared unknowingly.Only Wei Chongrong was very dissatisfied with Wei Su's behavior of occupying Wei Zhao all day long. He couldn't see his father except sleeping at night.

When he arrived at Shanglin Garden, the emperor stayed in Linguang Palace as usual.Lin Guang Palace is located on the east side of Shanglin Garden. It was built by Emperor Taizong. It is the first place to enjoy the dawn of the mountains and forests every day, so it got its name.

Wei Zhao and Wei Chongrong were placed in the Dangdang Palace closest to Linguang Palace. From the eyes of others, this meant infinite grace, but Wei Chongrong hugged Wei Zhao's neck and refused to step down. gone.

Dangdang Palace is the place where Wei Yang was bestowed with death in his previous life. It would be absolutely a lie to say that Wei Chongrong had no shadow at all.

Wei Zhao thought that Wei Chongrong was tired from riding a horse during the day, so he carried him into the Dang Palace. He was very satisfied with this place.Because Shanglin Garden is big enough and there are many palaces, unless it is the emperor's closest relatives, Dadang Palace would rather be empty than live in it.

Dangdang means soothing and joyful, and the Dangdang Palace named after it is a scenic spot in Shanglinyuan in spring.

Since spring is the most important thing, it will inevitably be bleak in winter. As soon as Wei Chongrong entered the Daidang Palace, he felt that the chill here was three points stronger than other places, and he couldn't help but hug Wei Zhao even tighter.

Sensing his son's abnormality, Wei Zhaorou said softly, "Rong'er, what's wrong today? Are you feeling unwell? Let Daddy take a look..."

Wei Chongrong shook his head and said coquettishly, "Daddy, can I sleep with you tonight?" After returning to Beijing, their father and son rarely slept together again, and I don't know if Wei Zhao would like to.

Wei Zhao patted Wei Chongrong on the back, and said repeatedly: "Okay, daddy will sleep with you." It was night, and Wei Chongrong's sleeping posture was particularly bad, and he used both hands and feet, all entangled in Wei Zhao.
