The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

Sure enough, Wang Anshi was right, and the snow stopped two days later, but due to the heavy snow on the road, the family couldn't go on the road for the time being, so they could only stay in the guest house.

Wang Pangpang couldn't stay idle, he ran all over the nearby places in the past few days.He has a habit, every time he goes to a place and finds interesting things, he will keep them and give them to Zhao Yang later.

In the past seven years, Zhao Yang has received a lot of strange things from Wang Pangpang, such as strange-shaped stones, strange branches, tattered calligraphy and paintings, funny books and so on.

When Zhao Yang received the love stone from Wang Pangpang for the first time, Zhao Yang was so shocked that he was dumbfounded.For a moment, he thought Wang Pangpang was a certain star in later generations who liked to give stones to others.

Wang Pangpang didn't know what love meant, so he thought the shape of the stone was very interesting, so he gave one to Zhao Yang.

In addition to love stones, there are also stones shaped like shi.Although Zhao Yang told Wang Pangpang not to give him any more stones, Wang Pangpang completely ignored his words and continued to send him strange stones.

Seeing this, Zhao Yang didn't bother to say anything, and let Wang Pangpang continue to send it off.

Wang Pangpang went out and ran around, and found a lot of strange things for Zhao Yang.

Every time Mrs. Wang sees something so strange that her son gives someone else, she feels that the other party will be angry and advises him not to give it away, but her son says that Yang Yang will definitely like it.

Zhao Yang, who was missed by Wang Pangpang, was squatting in the courtyard of the East Palace at this time, basking in the sun and grilling.

A baking pan was built in front of him with stones and tiles, and it was sizzling at the moment.

Cao Xu squatted aside, turning over the mutton skewers from time to time.

The enticing fragrance made Zhao Yang and Cao Xu swallow their saliva continuously.

It was a pity in Zhao Yang's heart that there was no pepper, otherwise the mutton skewers would be more delicious.

Seeing that the meat was cooked, Cao Xu quickly took a bunch and handed it to Zhao Yang.

After Zhao Yang took it, he couldn't wait to take a bite, but it was so hot that he blew air.

Cao Xu was the same as him, blowing air and fanning it while he was hot.

When Yuan Song and the others saw it, they quickly persuaded, "Your Highness, eat slowly."

"It's enjoyable to eat like this." Zhao Yang finished two or three mouthfuls of a string of mutton skewers.

Cao Xu agreed very much, "It's delicious to eat like this."

After eating the mutton skewers, the two tested pork belly, crispy bones, and a lot of vegetables.

Zhao Yang asked Yuan Song to bring rice cakes again, and he and Cao Xu baked rice cakes to eat again.

"Eating barbecue in winter is the right way."

Cao Xu agreed very much: "That's right."

"When Wang Pangpang arrives, we will treat him to barbecue." Zhao Yang said with a smile, "I will grill it myself."

"Then Pangpang Wang will feel very honored."

When Empress Cao learned that Zhao Yang and the others didn't come to Kunning Palace for lunch, but had barbecue in the East Palace, she smiled helplessly: "Jun'er, you will make some things to remove the fire and send them to Yang Yang. "Every time Yang Yang finished eating the barbecue, they would get angry and their mouths would bubble.

"Yes, ma'am."

Empress Cao didn't want her son to eat barbecue, but she had to say that the barbecue was delicious.She herself eats it every few days.

In the East Palace, Zhao Yang and Cao Xu ate a lot of meat, which filled their stomachs.

After eating, he and Cao Xu baked a lot of food, and then sent them to the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial City Department for Su Shi and the others to eat.

Although Su Shi and the others had already had lunch, the barbecue Zhao Yang sent was so delicious that they couldn't help eating it all, and then they were full.

Zhao Yang took Su Zhe and the others to wander around the Imperial Academy, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites.

Su Shi and the others have been in the Hanlin Academy and have never been to other departments.This time, I followed Zhao Yang to all six parts.

After strolling around for a while, Zhao Yang took Cao Xu back to the East Palace because his stomach was not full.

After taking a nap for an hour, Zhao Yang followed Han Qi to study.

After reading the book, Han Qi told Zhao Yang about Di Qing's situation.

"Many generals approached General Di in private, but General Di ignored him."

"Di Qing is currently the only military general serving as a privy envoy. It is normal for other generals to want to court him." Zhao Yang was not surprised by this.

"Your Highness, these generals are really generous. They secretly sent people to send a lot of silver or gold to General Di, and some even gave women." Han Qi said in shock, "I didn't even know that generals were so rich." To be honest, he I'm a little jealous.

"The vast majority of soldiers don't have much money, after all, their salaries are not high." Zhao Yang knows the situation of generals very well, "The generals who can give silver or gold to Di Qing are not ordinary soldiers. Received a lot of filial money from below."

Han Qi sighed: "The military generals in Bianjing are richer than those in the northern border."

"It's natural."

"Your Highness, it's fortunate that you told General Di in advance, otherwise General Di might be fooled by other generals."

"Even if I don't tell you, he should know." Zhao Yang said with a smile, "Di Qing is still very smart."

Han Qi thought about it for a while and felt the same way: "General Di is really smart."

After talking to Zhao Yang again, Han Qi left.

After Han Qi left, Zhao Yang learned painting from Cui Bai.

In the past few years, he has been learning painting from Cui Bai, and Cui Bai teaches very attentively.Zhao Yang's painting skills are getting better and better, and he has completely learned from Cui Bai.Today, Zhao Yang's paintings are very famous, and ministers all want to ask him for paintings.

Asking Zhao Yang for paintings is not because he is the prince, but because his paintings are really good.

Although Zhao Yang's painting skills have not yet reached the level of perfection, his paintings are full of aura, which makes people love it.

Zhao Yang learned painting and piano just to cultivate his sentiments, and he never thought about selling them for money or pretending to show off.However, he sent a lot of paintings.Every year on the birthdays of Han Qi and the others, Zhao Yang would personally draw a picture and give it to them.The same goes for Su Shi and the others, as well as Wang Pangpang who is far away from home.

There is one thing that Zhao Yang is better than Wang Pangpang, and that is painting.

Although Wang Pangpang is very talented in reading, his talent in painting is average.Because of this, Zhao Yang decided to learn painting well.

After finally being able to surpass Wang Pangpang in one aspect, he must continue to learn, and the more he learns, the better he will be, so that Wang Pangpang can't catch up.

Cui Bai was very proud of having such a talented and diligent student as Zhao Yang, and taught Zhao Yang everything he had learned in his life.

If Zhao Yang is not the crown prince, he will definitely become a world-famous painter, Cui Bai firmly believes in this.

When Zhao Yang was painting, he suddenly thought of Song Huizong, and sighed in his heart, did their old Zhao family have artistic talent?

His father's attainments in calligraphy are very high, especially Feibai style, which is completely at the level of a great calligrapher.His father's Danqing is also good, although not as good as Cui Bai, but he can still show it.

Thinking of some coquettish operations done by Song Huizong, which directly wiped out the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Yang looked disgusted.He must write a letter to the younger generation in the future, telling them not to let Song Huizong be the emperor in the future.

However, having said that, with him now, it might not be Song Huizong's turn in the future.

Zhao Yang was distracted for a while, and immediately took it back, and continued to paint seriously.

He painted the scene of the heavy snow a few days ago, which is very beautiful and has a sense of immortality.

Cui Bai likes Zhao Yang's paintings very much.Although Zhao Yang is his student, Zhao Yang's paintings are very clear, which makes people look open-minded.And his paintings are somewhat gloomy.

After Zhao Yang finished painting, Cui Bai asked him for this snow scene painting.

Zhao Yang gave it to him very generously, and pressed his seal on the painting.

The ministers knew that Cui Bai had many paintings of the prince, so they ran to ask him for a painting, but he ruthlessly refused.

Not long after Cui Bai left, the sea far away from the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom finally flew back.

Before, Zhao Yang's strategy succeeded.The third prince of Xixia believes that the king of Xixia will not live until the end of the year, and the prince believes that the third prince will kill him.The two brothers were at odds with each other before, but because of the serious illness of the King of Xixia, their faces were completely torn apart.

In the past two months, the two brothers have been busy fighting for power and profit, and have no time and energy to take care of other things.

The third prince was not in the mood to go south to attack the Song Dynasty, he wanted to kill the prince now, and then sit on the throne himself.

After Dahai came back, he kept calling Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang had specially learned "Eagle Language" before, so he probably could understand what Dahai said.

"Your Highness, what did the sea say?"

Zhao Yang frowned slightly and said, "Li Hao's illness is about to recover."

"What, isn't he seriously ill?" Cao Xu looked surprised, "Healed so soon?"

"It was seriously ill at first, but it got better a while ago." Zhao Yang told Cao Xu while feeding Da Hai meat, "However, Li Hao is pretending to be sick, and everyone doesn't know."

"Pretending to be sick, why is he pretending to be sick?" Cao Xu asked puzzled, "He should know that the crown prince and the third prince are fighting to the death, right?"

Zhao Yang said deeply: "Maybe he just wants to take this opportunity to see how much his sons want him to die."

Cao Xu understood Zhao Yang's meaning, nodded and said, "Jiang is still old and hot, but he is really ruthless watching the crown prince and the third prince fight with cold eyes."

"How many emperors are affectionate, and how many emperors are good fathers." Zhao Yangyan said, "As an emperor, his first identity is an emperor, and then he is a father."

"Your Highness, the officials don't treat you like this."

"Daddy treats me very well, but if Daddy has more than one son, and has several sons, then the situation will be different." Zhao Yang said with a smug smile, "Fortunately, Daddy only has me as a son. , so I don't have to kill myself with my brothers, and I don't have to play with my father in a scene where father and son are suspicious and wary."

"Your Highness, what shall we do next?"

Zhao Yang suddenly smirked and said: "I will add more fire to make the princes of Xixia fight more fiercely, so that they won't attack Da Song." He is very good at fanning the flames. "However, it is a good thing that Li Hao is not seriously ill. If something happens to him now, it will be detrimental to Da Song."

"Your Highness, I don't think Xixia's crown prince and third prince are very smart people. If they come to power, it will be a good thing for us."

"Although they are not smart, they are ambitious." Zhao Yang said with a sullen face, "When they come to power, the first thing they will do is to go south to attack Song Dynasty."

Cao Xu thought about it and thought it was true: "Then it's better for Li Hao to live."
