The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

After the early court, Song Renzong personally went to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense and pray for Zhao Yang.He originally wanted to take Zhao Yang to Xiangguo Temple, but Zhao Yang was too young to go out for the time being.

He took Princess Fukang to Xiangguo Temple.At present, Song Renzong has only two children, one is Zhao Yang, and the other is Princess Fukang.

Princess Fukang is the eldest daughter of Song Renzong, and the only child who has not died in so many years and has grown up safely.Although Princess Fukang grew up to be six years old safely, Song Renzong was still worried.The sudden death of the eighth princess this time made him more worried about Princess Fukang and Zhao Yang, fearing that both of them would be gone.

In Xiangguo Temple, Song Renzong had just finished burning incense and praying for Zhao Yang.

"Master, Yang Yang's longevity lamp has never been extinguished, right?" After Zhao Yang was born, Song Renzong personally lit a longevity lamp for him at Xiangguo Temple.In fact, Song Renzong lit a longevity lamp for each of his children.However, the longevity lamp he ordered for Zhao Yang was different from that of Princess Fukang and the others.

Song Renzong asked the abbot of Xiangguo Temple to look after the longevity lamp for Zhao Yang. After all, it was the prince's longevity lamp.

"Officials, don't worry, His Royal Highness's longevity lamp has not been extinguished, and the lamp is burning more and more brightly." The abbot of Xiangguo Temple said compassionately.

Hearing what the host said, Song Renzong felt relieved a lot.

"Master, you must take good care of Yang Yang's longevity lamp."

The abbot of Xiangguo Temple knew Song Renzong's worries, and comforted him: "Don't worry, the officials, the poor monk will take good care of the longevity lamp of His Royal Highness."

When Song Renzong heard the words, the worry and worry between his brows did not decrease.He said with a heavy tone: "Yang Yang is the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, and he must not have any accidents." He only has Fukang and Yang Yang.If Fukang and Yangyang can grow up healthy and peaceful, he can exchange everything.

"Officials, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be fine!" The host of Xiangguo Temple said in a very firm tone, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will grow up safely and healthily!"

"I also hope that Yang Yang can grow up healthy and safe, but..." Song Renzong suddenly stopped when he said this, and he saw guilt on his face. "I thought Madam forgive me, but you Wu..." Thinking of the eighth princess who died suddenly, Song Renzong's eyes immediately turned red.The maid in his mouth refers to his biological mother, Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi.

"I haven't been filial to my lady for a day, she is blaming me." Song Renzong said solemnly, "Yangyang's birth made me think that my lady forgave me, but I didn't expect that Xiaowu is still gone."

"Amitabha." The presiding officer of Xiangguo Temple said, "Officials, the Empress Dowager is kind. She will not blame you and take away your child because you did not respect her."

"But, my children died one by one, isn't this punishing me?"

"A tiger's poison does not eat its offspring. How could the Empress Dowager take away her grandson just because she wants to punish you." The host of Xiangguo Temple comforted her in a benevolent tone, "Officials, you are wrong."

This sentence made Song Renzong silent for a while, and then he said: "It's not the lady who is punishing me, it's God who is punishing me."

"God has the virtue of good life, and will not take away the lives of innocent children just because of punishing you." The abbot of Xiangguo Temple continued to appease Song Renzong, "Officials, you are a wise king, and God will not punish you for this matter. .”

"If not, why did my children die one after another?" Losing five children in succession dealt a great blow to Song Renzong.The pain of losing a child is like gouging out a heart, and Song Renzong's heart was gouged out five times.

"Officials, you have no fate, the Buddha said..." Next, the host of Xiangguo Temple comforted Song Renzong in a "cliché".

Song Renzong blamed himself for not being filial to his biological mother in front of the abbot of Xiangguo Temple more than once, thinking that it was because of this that his children died one by one.The host of Xiangguo Temple didn't think so, and comforted Song Renzong again and again not to think so, but Song Renzong got into the horns and didn't listen to his consolation.

"Officials, not being filial to Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi has become a knot in your heart." As long as something happens, such as the death of the princess, or a severe drought in the Song Dynasty, or other bad things, Song Renzong will think that It was caused by his lack of filial piety to Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi. "You're blaming yourself for all the bad things, and that's not right."

Song Renzong heaved a long sigh after hearing this: "I am not filial." What the host of Xiangguo Temple said was very correct. Ever since he knew that Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi was his biological mother, Song Renzong had been blaming himself for this incident. It has become a knot in his heart.

The birth of Zhao Yang untied his knot a lot, but the sudden death of the eighth princess made his knot worse.

The abbot of Xiangguo Temple also knew in his heart that no matter how much he comforted and persuaded Song Renzong, Song Renzong could not untie this knot.Youdao is the person who needs to tie the bell to untie the bell. Song Renzong made such a knot for himself, and only he wants to get rid of it, otherwise he will never be able to untie the knot.

"Officials, the poor monk will always pray for His Royal Highness, and ask the Buddha to bless His Royal Highness to be safe."

The words of the presiding officer of Xiangguo Temple reassured Song Renzong, "Then I will trouble the master."

"Officials are serious, this is what poor monks should do." The abbot of Xiangguo Temple smiled kindly at Song Renzong, "If the officials are still not at ease, when His Royal Highness is older, you can bring His Royal Highness to Xiangguo Temple. The poor monk begged the Buddha to accept His Royal Highness as a named disciple."

After Song Renzong heard this, his expression suddenly became excited: "Well, let Yang Yang become the registered disciple of the Buddha, so that Yang Yang will be fine." Yang Yang is the registered disciple of the Buddha, and the king of Hades dare not accept Yang Yang.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Buddha will definitely accept His Highness the Crown Prince as a named disciple."

Song Renzong clasped his hands together and thanked the host of Xiangguo Temple: "Master, thank you very much." After hearing the proposal from the host of Xiangguo Temple, Song Renzong was immediately relieved.

Seeing that Song Renzong finally smiled, the host of Xiangguo Temple was relieved a lot.

"The official's words are serious." The abbot of Xiangguo Temple knew that Song Renzong's health was not very good, and worried that he would worry too much about this matter and make his health worse. This was not true for Da Song. A good thing, that's why the abbot of Xiangguo Temple tried his best to comfort Song Renzong.

Song Renzong felt at ease, so he played chess with the abbot of Xiangguo Temple leisurely.

Princess Fukang did not follow Song Renzong, but knelt and worshiped Buddha statues one after another in Xiangguo Temple.The sudden death of the eighth princess also made Princess Fukang very worried about Zhao Yang.She didn't want Zhao Yang to disappear like her brother Zuixinglai.

Miao Zhaorong once told Princess Fukang that as long as she is sincere, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas will hear her request.She wants Bodhisattvas and Buddhas to bless Yang Yang, so she wants to bow down to all Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in Xiangguo Temple.

At this time, in Kunning Palace, Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong were playing with Zhao Yang.

After playing for a while, Zhao Yang became a little hungry. He sat in Empress Cao's arms, holding an apple in both hands, and gnawed it in small bites.

The picture of him holding an apple in his hands and chewing on it is so cute that Miao Zhaorong and Empress Cao are so cute.

"Ma'am, I also want to go to Xiangguo Temple." Seeing that Zhao Yang is so cute, Miao Zhaorong doesn't want anything to happen to him.She also wanted to go to Xiangguo Temple to pray for Zhao Yang.

Empress Cao knew what Miao Zhaorong was thinking, and smiled softly at her: "Since you want to go, why don't you tell the officials today?"

"Mother, I'm not suitable to go to Xiangguo Temple with the official family." Miao Zhaorong said, "Besides, I can't go to Xiangguo Temple in my capacity." She is a concubine and cannot leave the palace casually.

"It's appropriate for the official to take you there, but..." Empress Cao paused, and then said, "Yang Yang will be fine, don't worry." Empress Cao knew that Miao Zhaorong wanted to go to Xiangguo Temple to give Zhao Yang pray.

Hearing this, Zhao Yang raised his head and smiled brightly at Miao Zhaorong, and said childishly, "Yang Yang will be fine." Alas, everyone was worried that he would die young.Of course, he was also afraid.

Miao Zhaorong couldn't help reaching out and gently touching Zhao Yang's small face, "Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince will be fine." His Highness the Crown Prince has a high status, so he will be fine.

At this time, Chunyu came in and told her, "My lady, Zhang Meiren's condition is getting worse."

Upon hearing this, Empress Cao frowned slightly and asked, "What's going on?"

After the eighth princess died, Zhang Meiren fell ill.Over the years, her health was not very good, losing three daughters one after another made her health worse and worse.

"The maidservant just saw Wang Taiyi's hurried appearance and asked a question. He said that Zhang Meiren's condition had suddenly worsened, and he had to go and see her."

Empress Cao nodded, and then let Chunyu retreat.

Hearing that Zhang Meiren's condition worsened, Empress Cao didn't plan to do anything.If she went to visit Zhang Meiren, it would only make Zhang Meiren's condition worse.If she sent someone to inquire with concern, Zhang Meiren would only think that she had some conspiracy.

Empress Cao has never done anything about Zhang Meiren's matter.One is because Zhang Meiren is very hostile to her, and the other is because the officials will be suspicious of her purpose.

For Empress Cao, as long as Zhang Meiren does not touch her bottom line, she will turn a blind eye to her.

"Hmph, you deserve it." For Zhang Meiren, Miao Zhaorong had no sympathy at all. "It's all because her usual behavior is too arrogant and domineering, that's why..."

Empress Cao interrupted Miao Zhaorong, "Her matter has nothing to do with us." Zhang Meiren was deeply loved by Song Renzong. Happy. "You don't have to worry about her."

"I just can't get used to her." Miao Zhaorong is a very gentle and docile person, very gentle to everyone, but not gentle to Zhang Meiren. "The officials treated her..." She didn't say any more after speaking of this.She has never understood why the officials favor Zhang Meiren so much.No matter what Zhang Meiren did, even if she didn't pay attention to the empress, the officials would not blame her.

"Sui'er, it's not your business or mine's business to deal with her." Empress Cao once criticized Zhang Meiren for her arrogance, but Song Renzong blamed Empress Cao for making a fuss out of a molehill.From then on, as long as Zhang Meiren did not violate the palace rules, Empress Cao would not care about her.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand." Although the Empress is not as beautiful as Zhang Meiren, she is dignified and polite, and manages the harem in an orderly manner, so that the officials don't have to worry about the affairs of the harem, but the officials just don't see the empress's goodness.Even though the Empress gave birth to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the officials are still indifferent to the Empress.

Empress Cao knew why Song Renzong was indifferent to her, but she couldn't tell Miao Zhaorong.

"Sui'er, you are still very important to the official family, so don't ruin the relationship between you and the official family because of Zhang Meiren."

Miao Zhaorong understood Empress Cao's meaning, and nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, I understand."

In Mingluan Pavilion, Zhang Mei angrily drove away Doctor Wang, saying that she would die of illness.

Physician Wang had no choice but to withdraw from Mingluan Pavilion.

"Miss, no matter how angry you are, you can't ignore your own body." Ju Bai cautiously persuaded, "If you get angry, the officials will feel sorry for you."

"Distressed?" Zhang Meiren sneered, "In the hearts of the officials, neither You Wu nor I are as important as the prince."

The reason why Zhang Meiren's condition suddenly worsened was because she knew that Song Renzong went to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense and pray for Zhao Yang.She originally thought that Song Renzong went to Xiangguo for Xiaowu, but she didn't expect that it was to pray for Zhao Yang.
