The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

In recent years, Song Renzong's body has become worse and worse than before.Although there was no serious illness, there were many minor illnesses, and my energy became worse and worse.In fact, he wanted to pass the position to Zhao Yang in advance, not because he was old, but because he didn't want Zhao Yang to send troops to fight again.

Over the years, Zhao Yang first led troops to attack Xixia, and then Liao, which added up to four or five years.Four or five years is not long, but it is not short either.Furthermore, Song Renzong and Empress Cao have been worried that Zhao Yang will be injured and have an accident.

Although Zhao Yang has not been injured or had any accidents outside in the past few years, there is no guarantee that he will never have an accident.Song Renzong knew that Zhao Yang would still want to attack the Kingdom of Jin and Mongolia in the future. He worried that his son would not come back for a few years after he left, and they would have to worry about it again.

In order for Zhao Yang to stay in Bianjing honestly, the only way is to let him succeed.As long as he becomes the emperor, he cannot personally lead the troops to go out.

As soon as Zhao Yang came back, he was told that he would succeed to the throne next year, of course he didn't want to.Although sooner or later he will inherit the Great Reign, but he doesn't want to be the emperor now, because he still has a lot of things to do.

Song Renzong told Zhao Yang that he was getting old, his health was getting worse, his energy couldn't keep up, and he felt more and more powerless.Furthermore, the imperial physician advised him to rest well.He decided to pass the throne to Zhao Yang in advance, just to have a good rest.

Zhao Yang didn't quite believe Song Renzong's words, so he asked the imperial physician.The imperial physician did not dare to hide anything, and told Zhao Yang the truth that Song Renzong's health was indeed not very good. If he worked hard, he might...

Although the imperial physician's words were not finished, Zhao Yang guessed the meaning of the imperial physician's unfinished words.

Zhao Yang knew in his heart that Song Renzong passed the throne to him in advance not because of his body, but because he wanted to tie him up with the throne and prevent him from going out to fight again.Even if he knew Song Renzong's purpose, Zhao Yang couldn't let his father worry about state affairs anymore, otherwise he would become an unfilial son.

Song Renzong also knew that his son had just returned from the battlefield and had to rest well, so he would not let Zhao Yang succeed him for the time being.Zhao Yang bargained with him, and after the next year's palace examination is over, he will inherit the Datong.

The Chinese New Year was not long after Zhao Yang came back.I haven't celebrated the New Year with my family for two or three years. This year I spent a lively and united year with Song Renzong and the others.

After the Shangyuan Festival, Zhao Yang went to Daxiangguo Temple to recuperate.

When he came back from attacking Xixia last time, he went to Daxiangguo Temple to recuperate, and this time is no exception.

Master Kong Jing's body is still as tough as before, without any change at all, and his spirit is still very good.

When Zhao Yang sent troops to attack Liao, he kept praying for Zhao Yang.Zhao Yang is very grateful for this.

As soon as Master Kong Jing saw Zhao Yang, he took his pulse carefully.

Zhao Yang frowned when Master Kong Jing finished taking the pulse for him, his heart sank, and he asked a little uneasy: "Brother, is there something wrong with my body?"

"You were injured and nearly died this time. You didn't take a good rest outside, and your body didn't fully heal." Master Kong Jing frowned slightly and said, "You started to get busy before you took care of your body, and you still hurt your vitality to some extent."

Zhao Yang frowned slightly and asked, "Will it affect my lifespan?"

"Fortunately, you are still young, so remember to nourish yourself." Master Kong Jing gave Zhao Yang a soothing look, "In the next few months, you have to drink your medicine well."

Hearing this, Zhao Yang's mouth became bitter.

"Then it's troublesome brother."

"You hurt your heart this time, I'm afraid you will have a heart attack in the future."

"Heart disease?" Zhao Yang shook his head and said, "Brother, my heart doesn't hurt."

"It doesn't hurt now, but it doesn't mean it won't hurt in the future." Master Kong Jing pointed to Zhao Yang's heart, "It's impossible to be injured by a sharp arrow without any sequelae. If you don't take a good rest, I'm afraid the weather will be bad in the future. Your heart will ache."

Zhao Yang: "..."

"Take good care of your heart, I will refine some heart-protecting pills for you, you have to take it every day."

"Brother, please." Zhao Yang thought he was fine, but he didn't expect that. "Brother, please continue to hide my injury for me." Although the matter has passed and he has nothing to do now, if Empress Cao and the others know, they will definitely feel distressed.

Master Kongjing nodded lightly: "I won't tell the officials." After finishing speaking, he changed the subject and asked, "What do you plan to do next?"

"Daddy wants to pass the throne to me in advance, but he doesn't want me to go out again. What else can I do, I can only stay in Bianjing City." Zhao Yang wanted to attack the Kingdom of Jin and Mongolia in person, but Song Renzong and Empress Cao were sure disagree.

"Stay in Bianjing City, you also have a lot of things to do." Master Kongjing persuaded.

"I don't like being stuck in Bianjing City after going outside." Zhao Yang smiled wryly, "Unfortunately, my status means that I can't leave Bianjing City all the time."

"This is your responsibility." Master Kong Jing said seriously, "I'm still waiting for you to create a prosperous world, you can't keep me waiting."

"Ten years." Zhao Yang said seriously, "Brother, wait another ten years, and then I will show you the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."

"Ten years, I can still live, I wait."

"Brother, I want to trouble you with something."

"You said."

"Jue'er is already three years old. I want him to learn from you, just like I did back then." Master Kong Jing's knowledge is beyond the reach of Yan Shu and the others.Furthermore, he is a transparent person, letting Jue'er learn from him will benefit Jue'er for the rest of his life. "I want you to take Jue'er as your apprentice and teach him the same way you taught me back then. By the way, senior brother, please help him enlighten."

Master Kongjing laughed helplessly: "There are many well-educated ministers in the court, you don't let them teach your children, but you want an old monk like me to teach you."

"Those civil servants are stupid from reading the Four Books and Five Classics. Opening your mouth and shutting up is benevolence and morality. Jue'er will inherit my mantle in the future. He cannot be abused by civil servants, so it is most appropriate for you to teach him." As an emperor, of course he must understand the Four Books and Five Classics , because Confucianism must be used to govern the world, but it must not be controlled by Confucianism and become an "apostle" of Confucianism.

Because he had memories of his previous life, he learned from Yan Shu and the others and would not be influenced by Yan Shu and the others.However, his son is not like him.If Yan Shu and the others were to teach, they would definitely force their ideas on his son and make his son the emperor they wanted. This was not what he wanted to see.

Master Kongjing understood Zhao Yang's scruples, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll teach him."

"Senior brother taught him, I feel relieved." Zhao Yang stood up and bowed to Master Kong Jing very solemnly, "Senior brother, thank you."

Master Kong Jing accepted this gift: "Don't worry, I will teach him well."

"Yuan Song."

Yuan Song who was guarding the door came in, "Your Highness."

"Now go back to the palace and tell the crown princess, the officials and the empress, and let them send Jue'er to the Daxiangguo Temple." Zhao Yang ordered, "Tell them again that Master Kong Jing wants to take Jue'er as his disciple. , teach him to read and write."

"Your Highness, do you want to bring your little Highness to Daxiangguo Temple today?"

"Well, bring it today." Zhao Yang said, "His Royal Highness can only stay in the palace for ten days every month, and the remaining 20 days must be studied at Daxiangguo Temple."

"Your Highness, Your Highness is still young. If you ask His Highness to stay in Daxiangguo Temple for 20 days a month, I'm afraid the officials and the Empress will disagree." Yuan Song thought for a while and said, "You only stayed in Daxiangguo Temple every month. The Daxiangguo Temple will study for ten days, and if you ask your highness to study for 20 days, the Empress and the Empress will definitely not agree."

Master Kongjing said: "Let your highness study with me for half a month."

"Okay, that's it." Zhao Yang turned his head to look at Yuan Song, "Just say that."

"Yes, Your Highness." Yuan Song retreated, and then returned to the palace.

He went to see Song Renzong first and told him about it.Although Song Renzong was reluctant for his grandson to study at Daxiangguo Temple, he knew in his heart that it was a blessing for his grandson to be taught by Master Kong Jing.

When Empress Cao learned about it, she just frowned and didn't object. On the contrary, Concubine Miao felt that half a month was too long, and asked her little highness to study at Daxiangguo Temple for ten days a month like his father.

Of course Zheyun was reluctant to let her son leave her, but she knew in her heart that it was a good thing for her son to learn from Master Kongjing.She also knew that Zhao Yang's arrangement was for the benefit of her son.

She didn't say anything, and she didn't pack her son's luggage, and asked Yuan Song to take him to Daxiangguo Temple.

There is everything in Daxiangguo Temple, of course it is not as good as in the palace.However, the son is there to learn, not to enjoy, so Zheyun didn't tidy up his son.

Of course Zhao Jue was very happy to see his father in Daxiangguo Temple.With Zhao Yang by his side, the little guy is very happy to learn from Master Kongjing.

Zhao Yang wanted to stay in Daxiangguo Temple to recuperate for the time being, so he accompanied his son by the way.

Don't look at him recuperating in Daxiangguo Temple, but Song Renzong will still send someone to send him a letter to let him know about state affairs.

Over the years, the fleets sent to the West have brought back very rich wealth.Zhao Yang suggested that the sea ban should not be implemented any more, and the maritime trade should be completely liberalized.Neither Song Renzong nor the ministers objected, after all, there was really too much money.

Opening the sea ban, of course there are troubles, such as pirates.For another example, there are unruly people who want to make trouble.

Before Zhao Yang attacked Xixia and Liao, he established a navy and expanded the shipbuilding industry.

Over the years, the Song Dynasty's shipbuilding technology has become better and better, and its maritime weapons have become more and more advanced. Of course, the navy has also been trained better and better.

Seeing that Da Song's navy is so fierce and powerful, those plotters dare not mess around in Da Song's waters again.

Zhao Yang looked at Zha Zi from the southeast, and had an idea in his heart.No, this idea has been around for a long time, but it has never been practiced.

He wants to open a military academy and train more soldiers.Now, the time is ripe to do it.By the way, there are free schools that should be further promoted.

Now, Song Dynasty does not need to pay tribute to Xixia and Liao.This money can be used to benefit the common people.

Zhao Yang wrote a detailed charter for the establishment of the military academy. After Song Renzong received it, he thought the proposal was very good, and ordered to start it without saying a word.

Civil servants are of course opposed, but generals are in favor.Civil servants can't quarrel with military generals, so they can only watch the court establish a military academy.

Zhao Yang originally wanted to open a girls' school, but now is not the time.

Speaking of girls' schools, in the past few years, Gao Taotao has opened more and more girls' schools, and more and more girls come to her school to study.They are not only literate and understand the truth, but also learn to be independent and self-reliant.

Zhao Yang decided to build a girls' school after a few years.

After recuperating in Daxiangguo Temple for three months, Zhao Yang returned to the palace and the court hall.
