The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

In Kunning Palace, Miao Zhaorong and Empress Cao were talking.

"Ma'am, is there a letter from Your Highness?"

"Not yet, probably within two days." Seeing Miao Zhaorong's worried face, Empress Cao smiled reassuringly at her, "Don't worry, Yang Yang will be fine."

Miao Zhaorong sighed slightly and said: "Since Your Highness went to the northern border, my heart has been in a state of ups and downs, and I am always worried that something will happen to Your Highness."

"Yangyang has many people around him to protect him. He will be fine, so don't worry about it." Empress Cao, a mother, is not as worried as Miao Zhaorong.

That's what he said, but Miao Zhaorong still couldn't help worrying.

"Your Majesty, it's winter now, and the northern border is much colder than Bianjing City. Will Your Highness freeze in the northern border?"

It has been two or three months since Zhao Yang left Bianjing.As early as two months ago, he arrived in the north.As soon as he arrived in the northern border, he did not rush to attack Xixia, but first inspected the situation in the lower northern border.

Zhao Yang was very satisfied to see the prosperity of the Northern Territory under Su Zhe's management.

The common people in the northern border knew that His Royal Highness personally led troops to attack Xixia, and they were very supportive.Over the years, they have been deeply persecuted by Xixia and Liao people, and they hate Xixia and Liao people to the bone.If the imperial court did not allow it, the people in the northern border would like to attack Xixia and Liao by themselves.

After suffering for so many years, the imperial court finally sent troops to attack Xixia, and the people in the northern border were very happy.

Before Zhao Yang attacked Xixia, he gave a speech to the common people in the northern border.In fact, it was to reassure the common people in the northern border and tell them that he is fully sure that he will lead the army to attack Xixia this time, and he will definitely win, so that the northern border can enjoy a peaceful and peaceful life.

After the common people heard this, of course their blood boiled with enthusiasm, and they called "His Royal Highness a thousand years old".

Half a month after Zhao Yang arrived in the northern border, he personally led troops to attack Xixia.

Although before he came to the northern border, he kept assuring Empress Cao and Song Renzong that he would never go to the battlefield in person, of course he lied to Empress Cao and the others.The reason why he said this was to reassure Song Renzong and the others.

Zhao Yang was not afraid when he went to the battlefield for the first time, on the contrary he was very calm.However, he did not replace Di Qing and make himself the general.

For the attack on Xixia, Zhao Yang appointed Di Qing as the general, and he was in charge of commanding.And his highness the prince listened to him.

Although Zhao Yang is familiar with the art of war and has a deep research on the art of war, he has never been on the battlefield and has no actual combat experience.It was the first time he led troops to fight, and he would never command by himself.

On the battlefield for the first time, Zhao Yang performed very well, which convinced the soldiers in the northern border.Of course, he asked the soldiers in the northern border not to disclose the news of his going to the battlefield, otherwise Song Renzong and Empress Cao would order him back.

In the past two or three months, Zhao Yang and the others fought a dozen battles with Xixia back and forth, big and small.In every battle, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty won a complete victory, which made the common people in the northern border very excited.

Xixia was naturally very angry at Da Song's attack on them, and even sent a special envoy to question them, but they were unceremoniously turned back.

Although Xixia has eliminated smallpox, many Xixia soldiers were infected with smallpox before, and one-third of them were killed or injured.Although it did not hurt the vitality of the Xixia army, it did weaken the Xixia army.Not only that, many people in the royal family and nobles of Xixia were also infected with smallpox. A few years ago, the third prince who was clamoring to go south to attack the Song Dynasty was infected with smallpox.Also, the prince of Xixia was also infected.However, their lives were not dead, but their bodies were completely injured, and none of them could survive in three or two years.

In fact, even without smallpox, Zhao Yang would attack Xixia after the Mid-Autumn Festival.However, having said that, Smallpox did help Zhao Yang a lot.

When the Liao Kingdom learned that the Song Dynasty was attacking Xixia, of course it wanted to take advantage of the fire, but smallpox was still "rampant" in the Liao Kingdom.The Liao people were so overwhelmed that they could not send troops to "reconcile".

Even if there is no smallpox in the Liao Kingdom, Zhao Yang still has a way to make the people of the Liao Kingdom have no time to disturb the affairs between the Song Dynasty and Xixia.

The soldiers of the Song Dynasty are in full swing and have already recovered the two states occupied by Xixia.At this speed, Zhao Yang will be able to lead his troops to completely recover Xixia in less than two years.

Song Renzong in Bianjing City was of course very happy to receive the news that Zhao Yang and the others had won the battle.

The military officials were also very excited and praised His Royal Highness the Prince for his bravery.

The civil servants were not happy, but worried, worried that the Great Song Dynasty would attract Xixia's crazy revenge.

Hearing the disheartening words of the civil servants, the military officials were overwhelmed and quarreled with them again.Naturally, civil servants can't quarrel with generals, so they can only repeatedly say that it is wrong to fight.

The generals were so angry that they could not wait to step forward and beat up these civil servants who sang bad words.

Because of the presence of the military officials, the civil servants could not do anything in the court and "forced" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return from the northern border.

Of course, because Wang Anshi and Bao Zheng were there, the "conspiracies and tricks" of the civil servants could not be used.

Here, Empress Cao just said that she has not received Zhao Yang's letter.Over there, Song Renzong received a good news from the northern border.

Just ten days ago, the army of Song Dynasty and the army of Xixia fought again.This time, the number of people on both sides is very large, and it is the biggest battle in the past two or three months.

This battle was personally commanded by Zhao Yang. This was the first time he commanded after he came to the northern border.

He commanded well in this battle, winning Xixia with fewer victories and more, and successfully captured [-] horses, as well as some weapons and soldiers.

Di Qing didn't dare to take the credit for this, so he told Song Renzong that the battle was arranged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.Of course, he didn't say that Zhao Yang went to the battlefield in person.

After Song Renzong received the good news, he was overjoyed, and quickly showed it to Empress Cao and the others in person.

Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong were also very happy after seeing it.

Song Renzong praised Zhao Yang severely, and said that Empress Cao taught Zhao Yang very well.

Empress Cao said modestly that Song Ren was also good at religion.

Afterwards, Song Renzong also announced this great joy to the world, letting the world know that after the prince went to the northern border, he has been winning battles.

The people in Bianjing City were of course very happy when they learned about this incident, and praised His Royal Highness the Prince for being brave and invincible.At the same time, they felt relieved a lot.

Although they support His Royal Highness to support the attack on Xixia, if His Royal Highness loses the battle, the lives of their common people will become difficult.Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is both wise and brave, and defeated Xixia.

In Qingning Palace, Zheyun was very happy when he learned that Zhao Yang had won another battle, and decided to write a letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Princess Fukang was also happy for her younger brother: "I knew Yang Yang would definitely win the battle."

"His Royal Highness is proficient in the art of war, and he will never lose to the Xixia people." Although His Royal Highness has never been on the battlefield before, His Royal Highness is familiar with various military books and is good at various military arts.As long as he is on the battlefield, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will surely be able to win the battle after he has gained a certain amount of experience.

"Look at your proud and proud appearance." Princess Fukang teased Zheyun, "I think you can't wait to fly to the north right now."

Zheyun blushed and shouted: "Princess!"

"I'm right." Princess Fukang finished speaking, put away the joke on her face, "Don't say you want Yang Yang, even I really want Yang Yang. Ever since I was a child, Yang Yang has never left Bianjing City , I went to the northern border suddenly this time, and I have been empty here, always worried that something will happen to him."

"The princess and her highness are really sisters and brothers."

"Over the years, Yang Yang and I have never been separated." Princess Fukang said softly, "I hope Yang Yang can come back soon."

"I also hope that His Highness can come back soon."

"Yang Yang will definitely be able to come back before you get married." Princess Fukang was not serious for a while, and said teasingly, "You should prepare to be a bride in the past two years."

"Princess!!!" Zheyun shouted angrily.

"I'm not wrong."

"Princess, you asked me to be a good bride, why don't you?" Zheyun shot back, "After two years, won't the princess want to get married?"

Just some time ago, Song Renzong finally married Princess Fukang.The future son-in-law is the Yao family, the third son of the Yao family.Of course he is a descendant, the same age as Princess Fukang, he likes to recite poems and paint, he doesn't like power struggles, and he doesn't like entering official careers, he just wants to be a rich and idle person.

Although the third son of the Yao family is not as good-looking as Cao Ping, he is still outstanding among the young talents in Bianjing City.Furthermore, he is a clean-spirited person, without the bad habits of a dude, and he likes to travel and sketch.

Song Renzong summoned him specially, inspected him personally, and was very satisfied with him.After that, they arranged for him to meet Princess Fukang. Unexpectedly, the two fell in love at first sight, and then talked about everything.

Princess Fukang, like the third son of the Yao family, doesn't like to participate in political affairs, let alone fight for power and profit. She likes to eat, drink, have fun, and then paint and read poems.

Seeing that the two of them liked each other, Song Renzong immediately ordered a marriage.Two years later, on August [-], the two got married.

Because Zhao Yang was not in Bianjing, Princess Fukang's marriage was arranged two years later.

"I'm ready, and I'm just waiting to get married." Because of their engagement, Princess Fukang and the third son of the Yao family often exchanged letters.The third son of the Yao family also invited Princess Fukang for an outing.

When the third son of the Yao family finds something delicious and interesting, he will give it to Princess Fukang as soon as possible.

When Princess Fukang finds a good painting, she will give it to the third son of the Yao family as soon as possible.

The third son of the Yao family was recommended by Zhao Yang. He sent people from the Imperial City Department to investigate him carefully. His character is fine and his family is harmonious.

"It seems that the princess can't wait to get married."

"I don't." Princess Fukang blushed slightly, and stretched out her hands to pinch Zheyun's face in embarrassment.

Zheyun stood up and hid: "I didn't expect the princess to be shy."

"Zheyun!"

The two played around for a while, and then wrote a letter to Zhao Yang together.

Zhao Yang, who was far in the north, was discussing the next battle with Di Qing and Yang Liucheng.

Yang Liucheng became the deputy general a few years ago, and he is Di Qing's most capable right-hand man.He fought with Di Qing all these years, he was very brave and made a lot of contributions.

After discussing the business with Di Qing and the others, Zhao Yang left the commander's camp to see other soldiers.

It's getting colder and colder in the north these days.It is no exaggeration to say that breath can be frozen into ice.Fortunately, he had made sufficient preparations in advance and sent cotton jackets to the soldiers in the northern border early.

A few years ago, Zhao Yang promoted the cultivation of cotton and used cotton to make cotton clothes. One reason was for the soldiers in the northern border.

Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince cared about them so much, the soldiers in the northern border were filled with gratitude, and they were willing to help His Highness the Crown Prince.

Zhao Yang asked the soldiers on guard with concern, asking if they were cold.If it's too cold, have a few sips of spirits.

Usually, soldiers are not allowed to drink alcohol in the barracks, but the winter in the northern border is really too cold.If it weren't for the soldiers to drink a few sips of strong wine to warm up, the soldiers would not be able to stand guard at night.Even Zhao Yang drank strong wine to warm himself up.

The soldiers said that they were not cold, so that His Highness the Prince would not have to worry about them.

Since Zhao Yang came to the barracks in the northern border, the soldiers in the northern border were as excited as chicken blood. After all, they waited for many years, and finally they were able to send troops to attack Xixia.
