When Zhao Yang returned to Kunning Palace, he saw his lady standing on the bridge corridor, looking at the sky in the distance with an unclear expression.
"Miss, daddy is gone?"
Empress Cao heard her son's voice, looked away from a distance, turned her head to look at her son with gentle and loving eyes.
"The official family just left." After speaking, she stretched out her hand to her son.
Zhao Yang took Dabai and trotted to Empress Cao's side, raised his hand to grab his ma'am's hand, and then gently shook it: "Madam, did daddy tell you anything?"
"Tell me a lot." Empress Cao led her son and walked slowly into the hall, "Tell me what happened to Yan Xiu and the others."
"Some time ago, Chu Yue told me that Yan Xiu and the others were weird, so I asked Chu Yue and the others to keep an eye on Yan Xiu and the others." Zhao Yang shook Empress Cao's hand while bouncing around, "I thought Like Li Lin, Yan Xiu and the others were bribed by Zhang Yaozuo, and they would do things against me, but I didn't expect them to be plotting a rebellion."
"Why didn't you tell me about this?"
"I originally wanted to tell you, but Yan Xiu and the others have never done anything before, nor have they joined forces with Li Lin and the others." Zhao Yang had already figured out how to tell Empress Cao about this, "If it wasn't for them the day before yesterday The sudden transfer of shifts made me wonder if Chu Yue and the others had read it wrong."
"You knew something was going to happen last night, why didn't you tell me?" Empress Cao raised her hand and tapped her son's head lightly, "It was so dangerous last night, how dare you run to Funing Palace, do you know how worried Madam is? ?”
"Ma'am, after what happened last night, I probably guessed what Yan Xiu and the others were going to do, so I can't tell you." Zhao Yang shrugged at Empress Cao and said, "If I told you last night, you would definitely not let me Go to Funing Palace, and then you take someone to Funing Palace to save Dad, right?"
Empress Cao thought for a while and said, "Yes."
"Ma'am, if you took someone to Funing Palace to save Daddy last night, what do you think Daddy would think of you?" In history, it was indeed Empress Cao who took people to rescue Song Renzong, but Song Renzong not only didn't thank her, but also thought that All of this was done by her, and in the end, she forcibly gave Zhang Meiren the credit for her rescue, so that Zhang Meiren could be canonized as a noble concubine.
Empress Cao frowned slightly, but said nothing.
"Based on Daddy's suspicion of you, Madam, he will definitely think that all of this was done by you. Not only will he not thank you, but he will even suspect you even more, so I can't tell you, let you take someone to Funing Palace to save Daddy "Zhao Yang spread his hands and said to Empress Cao, "It will be different if I take someone to rescue my father. Not only will my father not doubt me, but he will also think that my son has done a good job."
After listening to her son's words, Empress Cao raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, "You're right, if I take someone to rescue the official's family, the official's family may think that I did it." Empress Cao marveled at her son's behavior in her heart. Smart, and keen insight.For a long time, she and the official family respected each other like guests in front of Yang Yang, and did not show any abnormality, but Yang Yang was keenly aware that the official family was suspicious of her.
"Yangyang, how do you know that the officials are suspicious of me?" Empress Cao thought about it carefully, and she didn't seem to have told her son that the officials were on guard against her.
"Ma'am, I can see it."
"You saw it?" Empress Cao raised her eyebrows slightly, showing doubts, "How did you see it?"
Zhao Yang stretched out his first finger: "First of all, daddy comes to Kunning Palace to visit me. I'm not in Kunning Palace, so daddy hardly ever comes to Kunning Palace. Second, daddy's attitude towards you To put it nicely, it means being polite or respectful, but to put it bluntly, it means indifference. Thirdly, daddy looks at the little lady and Zhang Meiren with gentle eyes, and even loves them very much, but when looking at you, you are very alienated."
Empress Cao opened her mouth wide in surprise, she didn't expect her son to observe so carefully.
"Fourth, ma'am, you are from the Cao family, and Daddy is very jealous of the Cao family." Zhao Yang sighed old-fashionedly when he said this, "I heard from senior brother that Daddy doesn't want you to give birth to a prince for him, because Daddy doesn't want his son to have a grandparent's family that is too powerful. If the ministers hadn't been urging Daddy to go to the clan to adopt the child, I'm afraid I would never have been born."
Empress Cao did not expect Master Kongjing to even tell her son about this.Why does Master Kong Jing tell Yang Yang everything, he really doesn't treat Yang Yang like a child.Also, the kid Yang Yang knows everything.
"You're right." The child Yang Yang "scares" her every time.She originally thought that Yang Yang was smart enough, but she didn't expect Yang Yang to be smarter than she imagined.This child is so smart at only three years old, which makes her a little worried.
"That's why I didn't tell you, so that Daddy won't doubt you." Zhao Yang reached out and grabbed Empress Cao's hand, raised his face, and said very seriously, "Ma'am, no matter how suspicious Daddy is to guard against you, I will always stand by your side, so I want to protect you and not let you be bullied by daddy."
Empress Cao's heart was shocked by what she said. She squatted down, stretched out her hand to hold her son in her arms, and rubbed his little face.
"Ma'am is enough to have you." The official family thanked her for giving birth to a good son before, why didn't she thank him for letting her give birth to Yang Yang.
When playing Song Renzong in his previous life, Zhao Yang sympathized with Empress Cao very much. She did nothing and did nothing wrong, but Song Renzong always guarded against her like a thief.Not only that, Song Renzong also made two empresses who were born and died to embarrass her.It's really unfair to treat her like this just because she is from the Cao family.
In this life, he became Empress Cao's son, and he loved her very much.Song Renzong treats her badly, so his son treats her well.Therefore, he absolutely does not allow the two queens who lived and died in history to happen.
Zhao Yang stretched out his hand to protect Empress Cao, patted his ma'am on the back lightly, and said childishly, "Ma'am, I will protect you well."
Empress Cao's eyes were wet|, she buried her face in the socket of her son's neck, and hugged Zhao Yang tightly with her arms.
"The lady believes it."
Zhao Yang felt some dampness on his bosom's neck, and raised his hand again to pat his lady's back.
Empress Cao calmed down, let go of her son, stood up and continued to lead her son into the hall.
"The officials said that Yan Xiu and the others confessed that Zhang Meiren and Zhang Yaozuo ordered them to rebel in order to let Zhang Meiren get credit for saving her. What's going on?" She looked down at her son, "Yan Xiu's rebellion was not arranged by Zhang Meiren and the others. Yeah, what did you do?"
Zhao Yang raised his head and blinked innocently at Empress Cao: "Ma'am, why do you think I did something?"
Empress Cao bent | lower | body, reached out and poked her son Chunliang's little face.
"You didn't do anything. Why did Yan Xiu and the others say that Zhang Meiren and the others ordered them?" When Empress Cao heard what Song Renzong said, her first reaction was what her son had done. "Tell Madam well." This child Yang Yang is not only smart, but also very "bad".This child is smart and cunning at the age of three, and she doesn't know who she looks like. She was not so smart when she was a child, let alone an official.
Zhao Yang was not surprised to be seen through by Empress Cao, after all, his lady is very smart and has great political talent.
"Daddy believed it, ma'am, how do you know I did it?"
Empress Cao said with a smile, "There's nothing like knowing a child like a mother." After finishing speaking, she crossed her arms and said, "Tell me, what's going on."
"It's very simple." Zhao Yang said with a smile, "When I asked Chu Yue to take down Yan Xiu and the others, I told Yan Xiu and the others that if they wanted to live, they should know what to say." Zhao Yang didn't let Chu Yue make it clear Tell Yan Xiu what they are confessing, but Yan Xiu and the others are not fools, they should know what to say. "Of course, they didn't admit that it was Zhang Meiren who instigated them, and they only revealed it after torture to extract a confession, so that Dad could believe it."
Empress Cao pinched her son's face and said with a smile, "I knew it was your fault."
"Hey hey, ma'am, I did a good job."
Seeing her son begging for praise, Empress Cao praised without hesitation: "You have done a very good job, and our family is so smart." How could she, Cao Yihede, give birth to such a smart, sensible, well-behaved, filial son? son.How many good things did she do in her previous life?
Zhao Yang, who was praised, smiled very proudly. If there was a tail, the little tail behind him would be up to the sky at this time.
"So-so, I'm just so-so smart."
Empress Cao looked at her son's smug face with a funny face, reached out and tapped his forehead: "Why did Yan Xiu and the others conspire to rebel?"
"If I'm not wrong, I should be dissatisfied with the low status of generals." This is also Zhao Yang's guess, "And they don't see the hope of being promoted, so they want to fight." Civilian promotion is easy, But military officers want to be promoted and raise their salary. Although it is not exaggerated that it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, it is also very difficult, especially for ordinary soldiers.
The Praetorians are different from ordinary soldiers.They were selected as the imperial guards because of their outstanding abilities. Although they did not reach the level of the heaven's favored children, they were also elites.They are obviously capable and have been protecting the safety of the officials and the palace, but they have been bullied all the time.Seeing those weak civic ministers rise to the top and show off their power in front of them, they were naturally very dissatisfied and felt that this was unfair.
When resentment and dissatisfaction have been accumulated for too long and reach the point where they can't bear it, they will do impulsive things, even if they know that the end of doing it will be very miserable, they still have to fight.
Empress Cao understood what Zhao Yang meant, and sighed softly: "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty has emphasized culture over military affairs. The status of generals has always been low, and it is normal for generals to be dissatisfied." The Cao family is a general.If it weren't for the strong background of the Cao family, I'm afraid it would have been very miserable.
Don't look at the Cao family as the founding fathers of the country, but the Cao family has no real power in the court these years.In the court, none of the Cao family held key and important positions.
Civil servants not only rejected military generals, but also did not allow military generals to hold important positions in the court.Civil servants absolutely do not allow generals to hold power in the court.
"This is wrong. The status of generals should be as high as that of civil servants." Zhao Yang said with a serious face, "Military officials govern the country, and military generals protect their homes and defend the country. The two are indispensable, and the relationship between the two Everyone's status should be equal, no one should be more noble than another."
Empress Cao was very surprised that her son would have such an idea. You must know that everyone has always thought that military generals are reckless men who only fight and kill people, and are not welcomed by civil servants.Civil servants all think highly of themselves and feel that they are superior to generals.
"Yangyang, it is not easy for you to change your status as a general when you grow up."
"I know."
"There are also civil servants who are not easy to mess with." Since ancient times, history has been written by civil servants.If you offend the civil servants, they will do bad things in the history books, just like Qin Shihuang, who was slandered by the civil servants as a tyrant who did all kinds of evil.
"Ma'am, I know, isn't daddy just afraid of the civil servants?" Of course Zhao Yang knew what would happen if he angered the civil servants, and he would be deliberately smeared by the civil servants.There are not a few emperors in history who have been discredited by civil servants, such as the famous Qin Shihuang. "I'm not afraid. I need the support of generals if I want to recover the Sixteen States of Youyun." He doesn't care what he will be blacked out in the history books by civil servants in the future, what he has to do is to recover the Sixteen States of Youyun and let the common people live Live a good life and not be bullied and humiliated by foreigners.
Empress Cao was very pleased to see her son speak so firmly.
"Madam supports you and believes that you can do it."
"Ma'am, what did daddy tell you? I think you looked preoccupied just now?" Zhao Yang thought of something, frowned and said, "Dad won't doubt you, will he?"
"No, your father thanked me for giving birth to him such a good son." Empress Cao heard Song Renzong thank her in her sleep.Not long ago, Song Renzong very formally thanked Empress Cao for giving birth to such a good son as Zhao Yang.
"Daddy should thank you." However, Zhao Yang knew in his heart that his lady disdain Song Renzong's thanks.
"You..." Empress Cao never took Zhang Meiren seriously, and never thought of taking action against her, because Zhang Meiren was not worth her action.However, if Zhang Meiren does something unfavorable to Zhao Yang, Empress Cao will never let Zhang Meiren go.Empress Cao didn't expect her son to deal with Zhang Meiren before she took action against Zhang Meiren. "You took a risk with Zhang Meiren and Zhang Yaozuo."
Zhao Yang also knew that he was a little hasty in this matter, but even if he failed, it would not affect him.
"I just want to see, in Daddy's heart, Zhang Meiren and the others are more important, or my son." After speaking, he grinned brightly, "It seems that in Daddy's heart, my son is more important."
Empress Cao laughed and said: "I didn't expect this." Empress Cao always felt that Zhang Meiren was more important than each of them in Song Renzong's mind.She was ready for Zhang Meisheng to be favored by the officials after she gave birth to the prince, and she was also prepared for the officials not to like Yang Yang because of this.She was also prepared that Zhao Yang would be deposed by Song Renzong.
"To be honest, I don't think Daddy would believe that it was Zhang Meiren and Zhang Yaozuo's game, but Daddy did believe it. I didn't expect that." Zhao Yang originally thought that Song Renzong's love for Zhang Meiren was not very high. I believe that Zhang Meiren and Zhang Yaozuo are playing games.Furthermore, Song Renzong didn't have any suspicion or defense against Zhang Meiren. "It seems that Zhang Meiren is not as favored as we imagined."
"It should be that Zhang Yaozuo has angered the officials by wooing the Imperial Army everywhere." Empress Cao said indifferently, "Your father still loves Zhang Meiren very much, and he will not do anything to Zhang Meiren. Besides, Zhang Meiren is pregnant now."
"However, Dad probably won't make Zhang Meiren a noble concubine again."
Empress Cao said with a half-smile: "It's just that Zhang Meiren will not be canonized as a noble concubine now, maybe in the future." In Empress Cao's view, Song Renzong sometimes acts too emotionally. "However, the officials will not let Zhang Yaozuo go easily."
"Even if Dad wants to let go, the ministers will not let Zhang Yaozuo go." Zhao Yang stretched his waist, "This matter is over."
"In the future, you must tell your lady if you have anything to do." Empress Cao had a stern face, her expression was very stern, "This time you are lucky, you didn't have any accidents, but you may not have such good luck in the future."
Zhao Yang nodded obediently: "Okay, I must tell my lady if I have something to do in the future." After finishing speaking, he thought of Yan Xiu and the others, "With Daddy's kindness, I will definitely deal with Yan Xiu and the others leniently, and I think Yan Xiu and the others will be demoted to civilians , kicked out of the palace." Madam, if Yan Xiu and the others are kicked out of the palace, let the Cao family take them in. "
"Do you think they are useful talents?"
"It is a certain talent to be able to become a guard from a commoner, and their courage to put everything in one basket is worth rewarding." Zhao Yang said, "As long as they are given the opportunity to make good use of their talents, they will be very sincere and will Show your ability as much as possible." Zhao Yang thinks that Yan Xiu and the others are a good knife, and they can make good use of this good knife.
"Since you think so, I'll let the Cao family take them in." Empress Cao said, "I hope they won't let you down in the future."
"It shouldn't disappoint me." Zhao Yang touched his belly as he spoke, "Ma'am, I'm a little hungry, let's have some snacks."
Empress Cao ordered Chunyu to fetch some snacks, and then ate snacks with her son.
In Kunning Palace, Empress Cao and Zhao Yang's mother and son were in harmony.However, in Funing Palace, Song Renzong was being sprayed by ministers.
The ministers knew what happened last night, and they also knew that Zhang Meiren and Zhang Yaozuo were the instigators of the rebellion last night.They also knew that Zhang Yaozuo and Zhang Meiren were spreading rumors about deposing the prince, and they were very angry.
As the prime minister, Yan Shu was of course the first to advise. He told Song Renzong to punish Zhang Meiren and Zhang Yaozuo severely.Other ministers agreed.They also said that Zhang Meiren is not worthy of being a beauty, so Song Renzong must severely punish Zhang Meiren.
For ministers like Yan Shu and the others, Zhao Yang was the direct son of Empress Cao and Song Renzong, with a noble background.Furthermore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is smart and sensible, and they will never allow Song Renzong to depose the Crown Prince for the sake of a beautiful child.
The ministers were not polite at all, and blamed Song Renzong for pampering Zhang Meiren too much on weekdays, which made Zhang Meiren do such a rebellious and extremely absurd thing.
At the beginning, when Song Renzong wanted to confer Zhang Meiren as a noble concubine, the ministers strongly opposed it.They believed that a person who was born as a dancing girl was not worthy of being a noble concubine.Facts have proved that they are right. Now Zhang Meiren has not given birth to the prince, but she is plotting to be the prince. It is really too daring.
Song Renzong was sprayed by the ministers and couldn't refute a word, because the ministers were very right.If it wasn't for him pampering Zhang Meiren too much, Zhang Meiren would not have undue ambitions.
The ministers asked Song Renzong to severely punish Zhang Yaozuo, Zhang Meiren, and Yan Xiu.However, Song Renzong was kind and couldn't bear to kill them.
Song Renzong decreed to deprive Zhang Yaozuo of his official position and beat him a hundred times.Yan Xiu and the others were also demoted to civilians and expelled from the palace.As for Zhang Meiren being degraded as a talented person, without his order, she is not allowed to leave Mingluan Pavilion, and no one is allowed to visit her in Mingluan Pavilion.
For such a punishment, the ministers are quite satisfied.
Han Qi and the others, who were on the way out of town, also learned about this soon after, and of course they were very angry.They wrote letters one after another, in which they scolded Zhang Yaozuo, Zhang Meiren and Yan Xiu.
Han Qi and the others wrote shyly, but Bao Zheng and Fan Zhongyan wrote very sharply, and they were not polite at all.Seeing Song Renzong angry and ashamed.
Bao Zheng and the others also wrote in the letter that Zhao Yang is the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, and no one is allowed to hurt or humiliate the crown prince, even Song Renzong's favorite concubine.
In the letter, Bao Zheng said that Zhang Meiren is a demon concubine without politeness.He had warned Song Renzong not to spoil Zhang Meiren too much, but Song Renzong didn't listen.Now, Zhang Meiren made such a big mistake, of course Bao Zheng would not let go of this opportunity, and sprayed Song Renzong again.
Song Renzong was glad that Bao Zheng had been demoted from Bianjing.If Bao Zheng hadn't left, he would have been sprayed with saliva by Bao Zheng again.
Fan Zhongyan not only wrote a letter to scold Song Renzong, but also wrote a letter to scold Yan Shu.He blamed Yan Shu for not protecting His Highness the Crown Prince well, and causing His Highness the Crown Prince to suffer so much.
Yan Shu was wronged. After all, he had just returned to Bianjing not long ago, so he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
In the letter, Fan Zhongyan asked Yan Shu to protect His Highness the Crown Prince and not let such a thing happen again.
Yan Shu, who was blamed by his friends, could only follow suit.
However, Song Renzong was the biggest victim of this incident. After all, he was frightened, but none of the ministers felt sorry for him. Instead, they blamed him for pampering Zhang Meiren too much.No, it's Zhang Cairen now.
Zhao Yang was not a victim of this incident, but he was cherished by the ministers, who felt that His Royal Highness had been greatly wronged and hurt.
In Mingluan Pavilion, Zhang Shuqin couldn't believe that she was demoted as a talented person, let alone that she would be under house arrest all the time. The most unbelievable thing for her was that Song Renzong didn't want to see her.No matter what method she used, even if she begged to see Song Renzong with the child in her stomach, Song Renzong did not come to see her.
In the past few days, Zhang Cairen has been making troubles in Mingluan Pavilion, and without any accident, he got himself pregnant.
Even though Zhang Cairen was pregnant, Song Renzong did not come to Mingluan Pavilion to visit her, which was a great blow to her.
At this moment, Zhang Cairen was sitting on the bed, his face pale and sad.
Ju Bai sat by the bed, holding a medicine bowl in his hand, begging Zhang Cairen to drink the medicine.
"Miss, you still have a child in your stomach, you don't care about yourself, you also care about the little prince in your stomach."
"The officials don't want me anymore, and they don't want the little prince in my stomach. What's the point of our life?" Zhang Cairen has been making troubles for the past few days, thinking that he could see Song Renzong, but he still didn't see Song Renzong.In the past, no matter how angry Song Renzong was with her, as long as he heard that she was not feeling well, he would immediately run over to see her.However, this time she was pregnant, and Song Renzong didn't even come to see her.
"Miss, as long as you give birth to the little prince safely, the official family will be happy, and then the official family will not be angry with you again, and will definitely reconcile with you." Ju Bai couldn't bear to see Zhang Cairen like this After sinking down, he continued to persuade Zhang Cairen, "Lady, you even disregarded your own body in order to conceive the little prince. Now, if you give up, you will be too sorry for yourself."
Zhang Cairen still didn't react when he heard this, his eyes were still full of despair.
Ju Bai thought about it, and decided to stimulate Zhang Cairen again.
"Miss, are you just going to lose to the Empress Empress like this? If you give up on yourself like this, you will only do what the Empress Empress wants." Although she didn't want to stir up conflicts between the empress and the empress, at this time she could only take The queen empress stimulates the empress. "Miss, if you give up on yourself like this, not only will no one sympathize with you, but it will also make them happy. You have been favored by the officials for so many years. Are you willing to lose like this?"
What Zhang Cairen said made a little reaction. Seeing this, Jubai said persistently: "As long as you give birth to the prince, you will definitely regain your favor. Then you can avenge your uncle and make things difficult for the empress and the empress." But, if you plan to give up on yourself, not only will you lose your revenge, but you will also do what the empress and the others want, do you really want to do this?"
"No... I don't want to do this..." Zhang Cairen's empty eyes finally lighted up, and her pale face revealed a look of resentment, "I want revenge, and I will never do what Cao Yi wants."
Seeing that Zhang Cairen finally had some energy and fighting spirit, Ju Bai heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and continued to say to Zhang Cairen: "My lady, what you have to do now is to take care of your body, and take care of the little prince safely." Born. Although the officials believed the rumors and were angry with you, the slaves feel that the officials still have you in their hearts. Besides, the officials have always hoped that you can give birth to a prince for him. As long as you give birth to a prince, you will definitely be able to regain favor , so you have to cheer up."
"You are right, I want to cheer up, I want to give birth to the prince safely, and I want to regain favor." Zhang Cairen's eyes were full of hatred when he was provoked by Ju Bai's words, and at the same time full of fighting spirit. "Feed me the medicine."
When Ju Bai heard this, he almost cried with joy, and quickly scooped up a spoonful of medicine and fed it to Zhang Cairen's mouth.
"Miss, you should drink medicine to prevent miscarriage now."
Zhang Cairen opened his mouth and obediently drank the bitter medicine.
Seeing that Zhang Cairen shed tears silently after taking a few sips of the medicine, Ju Bai was so frightened that she quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"My lady, why are you crying? Is the medicine too bitter?"
Zhang Cairen shook his head, weeping silently and said: "Jubai, only you treat me well..." Before, the officials doted on her and were reluctant to let her suffer any grievances.Even if she takes medicine, she can't bear to suffer a little bit.But now, she's pregnant, and the officials don't want to come and see her. Could it be that the officials' friendship with her before was all fake?
"Miss, don't be sad, the officials just listened to other people's slander and misunderstood you." Ju Bai comforted, "I believe that the servants will understand after a while, and they will definitely come to see you."
"Really?" The thing Zhang Cairen was most afraid of was that Song Renzong didn't love her and didn't want her anymore.
"Really, don't give up."
"Okay, I won't give up, I will take care of myself and give birth to a child." The child in her stomach is her only support, and she can't give up on herself.
"Miss, drink up the medicine, you can eat something."
"it is good."
In Kunning Palace, Miao Zhaorong is making chrysanthemum tea with Empress Cao.
"Ma'am, Zhang Cairen's fetal gas has moved, and the officials didn't go to visit him. This time, Zhang Cairen has really fallen out of favor." What Miao Zhaorong wants to see most is that Zhang Cairen falls out of favor completely.
Empress Cao put the sun-dried chrysanthemums in a cloth bag, "It's only temporary, and she will return to favor when she gives birth safely."
"Isn't it?" Miao Zhaorong didn't want to believe it.
"The officials have loved her for so many years and have a lot of affection for her. It is impossible to completely dislike her because of this incident." Although Empress Cao is not close to Song Renzong, it can be said that she knows Song Renzong best. People from Renzong said, "What happened this time made the officials very angry, but it didn't make the officials completely loathe her. The officials put her under house arrest and did not go to see her, just to keep her from doing things she shouldn't do again."
"The official is treating Zhang Cairen..." Miao Zhaorong couldn't believe it.
"Also, the ministers have always been dissatisfied with the government's doting on Zhang Cairen. This time, Zhang Cairen did such a rebellious thing. The ministers were very dissatisfied with her and blamed the officials for pampering her too much. In order to give the ministers a Tell me, I won’t pamper her for the time being.” Empress Cao said flatly, “After a while, this matter will gradually be forgotten, and the officials will go to Mingluan Pavilion to visit her.”
"Zhang Cairen has done such a daring thing, and the official family still has feelings for her, and wants to spoil her, are the official family crazy?" Miao Zhaorong couldn't accept it.
Empress Cao glared at Miao Zhaorong lightly, and reminded her, "Sui Er, speak carefully."
"Mother, I don't understand, I really don't understand." Miao Zhaorong said in disbelief, "Do the officials love Zhang Cairen so much?"
Empress Cao said with a deep expression: "The official family is reluctant to part with Zhang Cairen." In her opinion, the official family did not love Zhang Cairen so deeply.Rather than saying that he loves Zhang Cairen, it is better to say that he is reluctant to part with Zhang Cairen, his love for him, and Zhang Cairen who is so ostentatious.Of course, there is the most important point, the more the ministers objected to him pampering Zhang Cairen, the more he wanted to dote on Zhang Cairen.After all, the official is a naive and rebellious person.
"What on earth did Zhang Cairen pour into the official family to make the official family love her so much?" Miao Zhaorong was not only unacceptable, but also a little jealous.
"You and I don't care about the affairs of the officials and Zhang Cairen." Empress Cao has always seen it very clearly, so her attitude towards Zhang Cairen is very "tolerant".If she wants to move Zhang Cairen, the officials will never let her go.In other words, the officials hoped that she would take action against Zhang Cairen, so that the officials would have a handle or an excuse to abolish her as a queen. "Let them make trouble." In the eyes of Empress Cao, the relationship between Song Renzong and Zhang Cairen was too naive and too funny.
"Your Majesty, I'm just not convinced." If it were the Empress Empress, I'm afraid the officials would never let the Empress Empress go easily.
"What is unconvinced, no matter how much trouble Zhang Cairen makes, you are still very important in the hearts of the officials." Empress Cao comforted Miao Zhaorong and said, "Why do you have to care about Zhang Cairen."
"Ma'am, I understand what you're saying, but I can't really care less like you." Miao Zhaorong is not Empress Cao, she and Song Renzong grew up together, and the two have had a very good relationship since childhood.Although she has always disliked Zhang Meiren, she has never been jealous of Zhang Cairen.However, just now when she learned that Song Renzong loved Zhang Cairen deeply, she felt uncontrollably jealous.
"You have an official in your heart, so naturally you can't do nothing." Empress Cao warned Miao Zhaorong, "Sui'er, don't do things you shouldn't do because of jealousy, understand?" Sometimes women will do things impulsively because of jealousy. something irreversible.Empress Cao didn't want Miao Zhaorong to deal with Zhang Cairen because of jealousy and do irreversible things.
Miao Zhaorong understood Empress Cao's meaning, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I won't do anything to Zhang Cairen."
"That's good." After Empress Cao finished speaking, she added, "During this period of time, don't mention the matter of talented people in front of the officials, you understand?"
"Your Majesty, I know." Although Miao Zhaorong was jealous just now, she did not lose her mind. "Your Majesty, I will not do impulsively what I shouldn't do."
Empress Cao looked at Miao Zhaorong, smiled and said, "That's good."
Miao Zhaorong stopped talking about Zhang Cairen and changed the subject to talk about other things.
"It's going to be winter in a while, ma'am, should we prepare some old clothes and send them to Juzicang?" Every winter, Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong would collect some old clothes and send them to Juzicang. children.
"We need to prepare some, but we don't need to prepare as much as last year." Empress Cao said, "At present, there are only children under the age of five in Juzicang, and there are not even ten children in total."
"Ma'am, where are the other children?"
"Adopted by someone." This "person" is the Cao family.This matter is considered a secret, and it is not easy for Empress Cao to tell Miao Zhaorong.
"So many children have been adopted." Miao Zhaorong looked surprised, "I hope these children can live well."
"It will be fine." Those children will go to the battlefield in the future, and it is up to God whether they will be fine.
"Why hasn't His Royal Highness come back yet?"
"He's gone to the Imperial Academy, and I'm afraid he won't be back until noon."
Two days ago, Zhao Yang went to the Imperial Academy to "play" with Yan Shu.
Yan Shu very much welcomes the Crown Prince to come and play with him.He accompanied Zhao Yang to eat snacks and drink tea.He also taught Zhao Yang how to write and read.Not only that, he also told stories to Zhao Yang.Of course, he also played Gobang and Nine Links with Zhao Yang.
At this time, Zhao Yang was being taught to write by Yan Shu.
It has been more than a year since I started learning to write last year.Zhao Yang's handwriting is much better than a year ago, but his handwriting is still very ugly.He himself felt very ugly, because it was too floating.
He is small and his wrist is not strong, so the words he writes are very floating.Yan Shu taught him how to write without drifting.
Yan Shu taught Zhao Yang how to write while teaching Zhao Yang how to read.
In the past two days, Yan Shu taught Zhao Yang a few poems and some characters.He found that His Highness the Crown Prince was really as smart as Xiwen and the others said, and he could learn it after teaching His Highness the Crown Prince three times.
In the past two days, after getting along with His Highness the Crown Prince, Yan Shu liked Zhao Yang more and more.
At noon, Zhao Yang left Yushuyuan and went to Funing Palace to find Song Renzong.
Seeing that his son had returned, Song Renzong took his son back to Kunning Palace for lunch.
During this period of time, Song Renzong either ate at Kunning Palace or at Qingning Palace.At the same time, he often stayed in the palace of Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong.
Seeing that Song Renzong took his son back to Kunning Palace for lunch on time, Empress Cao asked people to arrange lunch quickly.
Miao Zhaorong was going back to her palace for lunch, but Empress Cao stayed behind.After a while, Princess Fukang came to Kunning Palace after school.
When dining in private, neither Song Renzong nor Empress Cao had so many rules.While eating, you can chat and talk.
Princess Fukang first told Song Renzong and Empress Cao what she learned in the morning, and then complained and had to endorse.
Listening to Princess Fukang's dissatisfaction and complaints, Song Renzong and Empress Cao had helpless smiles on their faces.
Princess Fukang asked Zhao Yang what he did in the morning, and Zhao Yang told her what he had learned from Yan Shu in the morning.
After listening to Zhao Yang's words, Princess Fukang was shocked.She thinks that she is an older sister, and she should learn things quickly as her younger brother Zhao Yang, who is smarter than Zhao Yang, but the fact is completely opposite.
"Fukang, if you don't study hard, His Royal Highness will surpass you." Miao Zhaorong felt very helpless about her daughter's dislike of studying.
"Fukang, your sister is right." Song Renzong said, "Yang Yang has learned a lot of poetry, and can also recite "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius". If you don't study hard, you will lose to Yang Yang."
Princess Fukang glared at Zhao Yang: "Yangyang, what are you learning so fast?" Yang Yang looked so stupid because she learned so fast.
Zhao Yang looked innocent: "I don't learn fast." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Princess Fukang with contempt, "It's my sister, you are too stupid and slow to learn." His current learning progress is quite slow, Compared with Wang Pangpang, he is really unhappy.Fatty Wang has been studying the Four Books and Five Classics since the first half of the year.fortunate
"Miss, daddy is gone?"
Empress Cao heard her son's voice, looked away from a distance, turned her head to look at her son with gentle and loving eyes.
"The official family just left." After speaking, she stretched out her hand to her son.
Zhao Yang took Dabai and trotted to Empress Cao's side, raised his hand to grab his ma'am's hand, and then gently shook it: "Madam, did daddy tell you anything?"
"Tell me a lot." Empress Cao led her son and walked slowly into the hall, "Tell me what happened to Yan Xiu and the others."
"Some time ago, Chu Yue told me that Yan Xiu and the others were weird, so I asked Chu Yue and the others to keep an eye on Yan Xiu and the others." Zhao Yang shook Empress Cao's hand while bouncing around, "I thought Like Li Lin, Yan Xiu and the others were bribed by Zhang Yaozuo, and they would do things against me, but I didn't expect them to be plotting a rebellion."
"Why didn't you tell me about this?"
"I originally wanted to tell you, but Yan Xiu and the others have never done anything before, nor have they joined forces with Li Lin and the others." Zhao Yang had already figured out how to tell Empress Cao about this, "If it wasn't for them the day before yesterday The sudden transfer of shifts made me wonder if Chu Yue and the others had read it wrong."
"You knew something was going to happen last night, why didn't you tell me?" Empress Cao raised her hand and tapped her son's head lightly, "It was so dangerous last night, how dare you run to Funing Palace, do you know how worried Madam is? ?”
"Ma'am, after what happened last night, I probably guessed what Yan Xiu and the others were going to do, so I can't tell you." Zhao Yang shrugged at Empress Cao and said, "If I told you last night, you would definitely not let me Go to Funing Palace, and then you take someone to Funing Palace to save Dad, right?"
Empress Cao thought for a while and said, "Yes."
"Ma'am, if you took someone to Funing Palace to save Daddy last night, what do you think Daddy would think of you?" In history, it was indeed Empress Cao who took people to rescue Song Renzong, but Song Renzong not only didn't thank her, but also thought that All of this was done by her, and in the end, she forcibly gave Zhang Meiren the credit for her rescue, so that Zhang Meiren could be canonized as a noble concubine.
Empress Cao frowned slightly, but said nothing.
"Based on Daddy's suspicion of you, Madam, he will definitely think that all of this was done by you. Not only will he not thank you, but he will even suspect you even more, so I can't tell you, let you take someone to Funing Palace to save Daddy "Zhao Yang spread his hands and said to Empress Cao, "It will be different if I take someone to rescue my father. Not only will my father not doubt me, but he will also think that my son has done a good job."
After listening to her son's words, Empress Cao raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, "You're right, if I take someone to rescue the official's family, the official's family may think that I did it." Empress Cao marveled at her son's behavior in her heart. Smart, and keen insight.For a long time, she and the official family respected each other like guests in front of Yang Yang, and did not show any abnormality, but Yang Yang was keenly aware that the official family was suspicious of her.
"Yangyang, how do you know that the officials are suspicious of me?" Empress Cao thought about it carefully, and she didn't seem to have told her son that the officials were on guard against her.
"Ma'am, I can see it."
"You saw it?" Empress Cao raised her eyebrows slightly, showing doubts, "How did you see it?"
Zhao Yang stretched out his first finger: "First of all, daddy comes to Kunning Palace to visit me. I'm not in Kunning Palace, so daddy hardly ever comes to Kunning Palace. Second, daddy's attitude towards you To put it nicely, it means being polite or respectful, but to put it bluntly, it means indifference. Thirdly, daddy looks at the little lady and Zhang Meiren with gentle eyes, and even loves them very much, but when looking at you, you are very alienated."
Empress Cao opened her mouth wide in surprise, she didn't expect her son to observe so carefully.
"Fourth, ma'am, you are from the Cao family, and Daddy is very jealous of the Cao family." Zhao Yang sighed old-fashionedly when he said this, "I heard from senior brother that Daddy doesn't want you to give birth to a prince for him, because Daddy doesn't want his son to have a grandparent's family that is too powerful. If the ministers hadn't been urging Daddy to go to the clan to adopt the child, I'm afraid I would never have been born."
Empress Cao did not expect Master Kongjing to even tell her son about this.Why does Master Kong Jing tell Yang Yang everything, he really doesn't treat Yang Yang like a child.Also, the kid Yang Yang knows everything.
"You're right." The child Yang Yang "scares" her every time.She originally thought that Yang Yang was smart enough, but she didn't expect Yang Yang to be smarter than she imagined.This child is so smart at only three years old, which makes her a little worried.
"That's why I didn't tell you, so that Daddy won't doubt you." Zhao Yang reached out and grabbed Empress Cao's hand, raised his face, and said very seriously, "Ma'am, no matter how suspicious Daddy is to guard against you, I will always stand by your side, so I want to protect you and not let you be bullied by daddy."
Empress Cao's heart was shocked by what she said. She squatted down, stretched out her hand to hold her son in her arms, and rubbed his little face.
"Ma'am is enough to have you." The official family thanked her for giving birth to a good son before, why didn't she thank him for letting her give birth to Yang Yang.
When playing Song Renzong in his previous life, Zhao Yang sympathized with Empress Cao very much. She did nothing and did nothing wrong, but Song Renzong always guarded against her like a thief.Not only that, Song Renzong also made two empresses who were born and died to embarrass her.It's really unfair to treat her like this just because she is from the Cao family.
In this life, he became Empress Cao's son, and he loved her very much.Song Renzong treats her badly, so his son treats her well.Therefore, he absolutely does not allow the two queens who lived and died in history to happen.
Zhao Yang stretched out his hand to protect Empress Cao, patted his ma'am on the back lightly, and said childishly, "Ma'am, I will protect you well."
Empress Cao's eyes were wet|, she buried her face in the socket of her son's neck, and hugged Zhao Yang tightly with her arms.
"The lady believes it."
Zhao Yang felt some dampness on his bosom's neck, and raised his hand again to pat his lady's back.
Empress Cao calmed down, let go of her son, stood up and continued to lead her son into the hall.
"The officials said that Yan Xiu and the others confessed that Zhang Meiren and Zhang Yaozuo ordered them to rebel in order to let Zhang Meiren get credit for saving her. What's going on?" She looked down at her son, "Yan Xiu's rebellion was not arranged by Zhang Meiren and the others. Yeah, what did you do?"
Zhao Yang raised his head and blinked innocently at Empress Cao: "Ma'am, why do you think I did something?"
Empress Cao bent | lower | body, reached out and poked her son Chunliang's little face.
"You didn't do anything. Why did Yan Xiu and the others say that Zhang Meiren and the others ordered them?" When Empress Cao heard what Song Renzong said, her first reaction was what her son had done. "Tell Madam well." This child Yang Yang is not only smart, but also very "bad".This child is smart and cunning at the age of three, and she doesn't know who she looks like. She was not so smart when she was a child, let alone an official.
Zhao Yang was not surprised to be seen through by Empress Cao, after all, his lady is very smart and has great political talent.
"Daddy believed it, ma'am, how do you know I did it?"
Empress Cao said with a smile, "There's nothing like knowing a child like a mother." After finishing speaking, she crossed her arms and said, "Tell me, what's going on."
"It's very simple." Zhao Yang said with a smile, "When I asked Chu Yue to take down Yan Xiu and the others, I told Yan Xiu and the others that if they wanted to live, they should know what to say." Zhao Yang didn't let Chu Yue make it clear Tell Yan Xiu what they are confessing, but Yan Xiu and the others are not fools, they should know what to say. "Of course, they didn't admit that it was Zhang Meiren who instigated them, and they only revealed it after torture to extract a confession, so that Dad could believe it."
Empress Cao pinched her son's face and said with a smile, "I knew it was your fault."
"Hey hey, ma'am, I did a good job."
Seeing her son begging for praise, Empress Cao praised without hesitation: "You have done a very good job, and our family is so smart." How could she, Cao Yihede, give birth to such a smart, sensible, well-behaved, filial son? son.How many good things did she do in her previous life?
Zhao Yang, who was praised, smiled very proudly. If there was a tail, the little tail behind him would be up to the sky at this time.
"So-so, I'm just so-so smart."
Empress Cao looked at her son's smug face with a funny face, reached out and tapped his forehead: "Why did Yan Xiu and the others conspire to rebel?"
"If I'm not wrong, I should be dissatisfied with the low status of generals." This is also Zhao Yang's guess, "And they don't see the hope of being promoted, so they want to fight." Civilian promotion is easy, But military officers want to be promoted and raise their salary. Although it is not exaggerated that it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, it is also very difficult, especially for ordinary soldiers.
The Praetorians are different from ordinary soldiers.They were selected as the imperial guards because of their outstanding abilities. Although they did not reach the level of the heaven's favored children, they were also elites.They are obviously capable and have been protecting the safety of the officials and the palace, but they have been bullied all the time.Seeing those weak civic ministers rise to the top and show off their power in front of them, they were naturally very dissatisfied and felt that this was unfair.
When resentment and dissatisfaction have been accumulated for too long and reach the point where they can't bear it, they will do impulsive things, even if they know that the end of doing it will be very miserable, they still have to fight.
Empress Cao understood what Zhao Yang meant, and sighed softly: "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty has emphasized culture over military affairs. The status of generals has always been low, and it is normal for generals to be dissatisfied." The Cao family is a general.If it weren't for the strong background of the Cao family, I'm afraid it would have been very miserable.
Don't look at the Cao family as the founding fathers of the country, but the Cao family has no real power in the court these years.In the court, none of the Cao family held key and important positions.
Civil servants not only rejected military generals, but also did not allow military generals to hold important positions in the court.Civil servants absolutely do not allow generals to hold power in the court.
"This is wrong. The status of generals should be as high as that of civil servants." Zhao Yang said with a serious face, "Military officials govern the country, and military generals protect their homes and defend the country. The two are indispensable, and the relationship between the two Everyone's status should be equal, no one should be more noble than another."
Empress Cao was very surprised that her son would have such an idea. You must know that everyone has always thought that military generals are reckless men who only fight and kill people, and are not welcomed by civil servants.Civil servants all think highly of themselves and feel that they are superior to generals.
"Yangyang, it is not easy for you to change your status as a general when you grow up."
"I know."
"There are also civil servants who are not easy to mess with." Since ancient times, history has been written by civil servants.If you offend the civil servants, they will do bad things in the history books, just like Qin Shihuang, who was slandered by the civil servants as a tyrant who did all kinds of evil.
"Ma'am, I know, isn't daddy just afraid of the civil servants?" Of course Zhao Yang knew what would happen if he angered the civil servants, and he would be deliberately smeared by the civil servants.There are not a few emperors in history who have been discredited by civil servants, such as the famous Qin Shihuang. "I'm not afraid. I need the support of generals if I want to recover the Sixteen States of Youyun." He doesn't care what he will be blacked out in the history books by civil servants in the future, what he has to do is to recover the Sixteen States of Youyun and let the common people live Live a good life and not be bullied and humiliated by foreigners.
Empress Cao was very pleased to see her son speak so firmly.
"Madam supports you and believes that you can do it."
"Ma'am, what did daddy tell you? I think you looked preoccupied just now?" Zhao Yang thought of something, frowned and said, "Dad won't doubt you, will he?"
"No, your father thanked me for giving birth to him such a good son." Empress Cao heard Song Renzong thank her in her sleep.Not long ago, Song Renzong very formally thanked Empress Cao for giving birth to such a good son as Zhao Yang.
"Daddy should thank you." However, Zhao Yang knew in his heart that his lady disdain Song Renzong's thanks.
"You..." Empress Cao never took Zhang Meiren seriously, and never thought of taking action against her, because Zhang Meiren was not worth her action.However, if Zhang Meiren does something unfavorable to Zhao Yang, Empress Cao will never let Zhang Meiren go.Empress Cao didn't expect her son to deal with Zhang Meiren before she took action against Zhang Meiren. "You took a risk with Zhang Meiren and Zhang Yaozuo."
Zhao Yang also knew that he was a little hasty in this matter, but even if he failed, it would not affect him.
"I just want to see, in Daddy's heart, Zhang Meiren and the others are more important, or my son." After speaking, he grinned brightly, "It seems that in Daddy's heart, my son is more important."
Empress Cao laughed and said: "I didn't expect this." Empress Cao always felt that Zhang Meiren was more important than each of them in Song Renzong's mind.She was ready for Zhang Meisheng to be favored by the officials after she gave birth to the prince, and she was also prepared for the officials not to like Yang Yang because of this.She was also prepared that Zhao Yang would be deposed by Song Renzong.
"To be honest, I don't think Daddy would believe that it was Zhang Meiren and Zhang Yaozuo's game, but Daddy did believe it. I didn't expect that." Zhao Yang originally thought that Song Renzong's love for Zhang Meiren was not very high. I believe that Zhang Meiren and Zhang Yaozuo are playing games.Furthermore, Song Renzong didn't have any suspicion or defense against Zhang Meiren. "It seems that Zhang Meiren is not as favored as we imagined."
"It should be that Zhang Yaozuo has angered the officials by wooing the Imperial Army everywhere." Empress Cao said indifferently, "Your father still loves Zhang Meiren very much, and he will not do anything to Zhang Meiren. Besides, Zhang Meiren is pregnant now."
"However, Dad probably won't make Zhang Meiren a noble concubine again."
Empress Cao said with a half-smile: "It's just that Zhang Meiren will not be canonized as a noble concubine now, maybe in the future." In Empress Cao's view, Song Renzong sometimes acts too emotionally. "However, the officials will not let Zhang Yaozuo go easily."
"Even if Dad wants to let go, the ministers will not let Zhang Yaozuo go." Zhao Yang stretched his waist, "This matter is over."
"In the future, you must tell your lady if you have anything to do." Empress Cao had a stern face, her expression was very stern, "This time you are lucky, you didn't have any accidents, but you may not have such good luck in the future."
Zhao Yang nodded obediently: "Okay, I must tell my lady if I have something to do in the future." After finishing speaking, he thought of Yan Xiu and the others, "With Daddy's kindness, I will definitely deal with Yan Xiu and the others leniently, and I think Yan Xiu and the others will be demoted to civilians , kicked out of the palace." Madam, if Yan Xiu and the others are kicked out of the palace, let the Cao family take them in. "
"Do you think they are useful talents?"
"It is a certain talent to be able to become a guard from a commoner, and their courage to put everything in one basket is worth rewarding." Zhao Yang said, "As long as they are given the opportunity to make good use of their talents, they will be very sincere and will Show your ability as much as possible." Zhao Yang thinks that Yan Xiu and the others are a good knife, and they can make good use of this good knife.
"Since you think so, I'll let the Cao family take them in." Empress Cao said, "I hope they won't let you down in the future."
"It shouldn't disappoint me." Zhao Yang touched his belly as he spoke, "Ma'am, I'm a little hungry, let's have some snacks."
Empress Cao ordered Chunyu to fetch some snacks, and then ate snacks with her son.
In Kunning Palace, Empress Cao and Zhao Yang's mother and son were in harmony.However, in Funing Palace, Song Renzong was being sprayed by ministers.
The ministers knew what happened last night, and they also knew that Zhang Meiren and Zhang Yaozuo were the instigators of the rebellion last night.They also knew that Zhang Yaozuo and Zhang Meiren were spreading rumors about deposing the prince, and they were very angry.
As the prime minister, Yan Shu was of course the first to advise. He told Song Renzong to punish Zhang Meiren and Zhang Yaozuo severely.Other ministers agreed.They also said that Zhang Meiren is not worthy of being a beauty, so Song Renzong must severely punish Zhang Meiren.
For ministers like Yan Shu and the others, Zhao Yang was the direct son of Empress Cao and Song Renzong, with a noble background.Furthermore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is smart and sensible, and they will never allow Song Renzong to depose the Crown Prince for the sake of a beautiful child.
The ministers were not polite at all, and blamed Song Renzong for pampering Zhang Meiren too much on weekdays, which made Zhang Meiren do such a rebellious and extremely absurd thing.
At the beginning, when Song Renzong wanted to confer Zhang Meiren as a noble concubine, the ministers strongly opposed it.They believed that a person who was born as a dancing girl was not worthy of being a noble concubine.Facts have proved that they are right. Now Zhang Meiren has not given birth to the prince, but she is plotting to be the prince. It is really too daring.
Song Renzong was sprayed by the ministers and couldn't refute a word, because the ministers were very right.If it wasn't for him pampering Zhang Meiren too much, Zhang Meiren would not have undue ambitions.
The ministers asked Song Renzong to severely punish Zhang Yaozuo, Zhang Meiren, and Yan Xiu.However, Song Renzong was kind and couldn't bear to kill them.
Song Renzong decreed to deprive Zhang Yaozuo of his official position and beat him a hundred times.Yan Xiu and the others were also demoted to civilians and expelled from the palace.As for Zhang Meiren being degraded as a talented person, without his order, she is not allowed to leave Mingluan Pavilion, and no one is allowed to visit her in Mingluan Pavilion.
For such a punishment, the ministers are quite satisfied.
Han Qi and the others, who were on the way out of town, also learned about this soon after, and of course they were very angry.They wrote letters one after another, in which they scolded Zhang Yaozuo, Zhang Meiren and Yan Xiu.
Han Qi and the others wrote shyly, but Bao Zheng and Fan Zhongyan wrote very sharply, and they were not polite at all.Seeing Song Renzong angry and ashamed.
Bao Zheng and the others also wrote in the letter that Zhao Yang is the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, and no one is allowed to hurt or humiliate the crown prince, even Song Renzong's favorite concubine.
In the letter, Bao Zheng said that Zhang Meiren is a demon concubine without politeness.He had warned Song Renzong not to spoil Zhang Meiren too much, but Song Renzong didn't listen.Now, Zhang Meiren made such a big mistake, of course Bao Zheng would not let go of this opportunity, and sprayed Song Renzong again.
Song Renzong was glad that Bao Zheng had been demoted from Bianjing.If Bao Zheng hadn't left, he would have been sprayed with saliva by Bao Zheng again.
Fan Zhongyan not only wrote a letter to scold Song Renzong, but also wrote a letter to scold Yan Shu.He blamed Yan Shu for not protecting His Highness the Crown Prince well, and causing His Highness the Crown Prince to suffer so much.
Yan Shu was wronged. After all, he had just returned to Bianjing not long ago, so he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
In the letter, Fan Zhongyan asked Yan Shu to protect His Highness the Crown Prince and not let such a thing happen again.
Yan Shu, who was blamed by his friends, could only follow suit.
However, Song Renzong was the biggest victim of this incident. After all, he was frightened, but none of the ministers felt sorry for him. Instead, they blamed him for pampering Zhang Meiren too much.No, it's Zhang Cairen now.
Zhao Yang was not a victim of this incident, but he was cherished by the ministers, who felt that His Royal Highness had been greatly wronged and hurt.
In Mingluan Pavilion, Zhang Shuqin couldn't believe that she was demoted as a talented person, let alone that she would be under house arrest all the time. The most unbelievable thing for her was that Song Renzong didn't want to see her.No matter what method she used, even if she begged to see Song Renzong with the child in her stomach, Song Renzong did not come to see her.
In the past few days, Zhang Cairen has been making troubles in Mingluan Pavilion, and without any accident, he got himself pregnant.
Even though Zhang Cairen was pregnant, Song Renzong did not come to Mingluan Pavilion to visit her, which was a great blow to her.
At this moment, Zhang Cairen was sitting on the bed, his face pale and sad.
Ju Bai sat by the bed, holding a medicine bowl in his hand, begging Zhang Cairen to drink the medicine.
"Miss, you still have a child in your stomach, you don't care about yourself, you also care about the little prince in your stomach."
"The officials don't want me anymore, and they don't want the little prince in my stomach. What's the point of our life?" Zhang Cairen has been making troubles for the past few days, thinking that he could see Song Renzong, but he still didn't see Song Renzong.In the past, no matter how angry Song Renzong was with her, as long as he heard that she was not feeling well, he would immediately run over to see her.However, this time she was pregnant, and Song Renzong didn't even come to see her.
"Miss, as long as you give birth to the little prince safely, the official family will be happy, and then the official family will not be angry with you again, and will definitely reconcile with you." Ju Bai couldn't bear to see Zhang Cairen like this After sinking down, he continued to persuade Zhang Cairen, "Lady, you even disregarded your own body in order to conceive the little prince. Now, if you give up, you will be too sorry for yourself."
Zhang Cairen still didn't react when he heard this, his eyes were still full of despair.
Ju Bai thought about it, and decided to stimulate Zhang Cairen again.
"Miss, are you just going to lose to the Empress Empress like this? If you give up on yourself like this, you will only do what the Empress Empress wants." Although she didn't want to stir up conflicts between the empress and the empress, at this time she could only take The queen empress stimulates the empress. "Miss, if you give up on yourself like this, not only will no one sympathize with you, but it will also make them happy. You have been favored by the officials for so many years. Are you willing to lose like this?"
What Zhang Cairen said made a little reaction. Seeing this, Jubai said persistently: "As long as you give birth to the prince, you will definitely regain your favor. Then you can avenge your uncle and make things difficult for the empress and the empress." But, if you plan to give up on yourself, not only will you lose your revenge, but you will also do what the empress and the others want, do you really want to do this?"
"No... I don't want to do this..." Zhang Cairen's empty eyes finally lighted up, and her pale face revealed a look of resentment, "I want revenge, and I will never do what Cao Yi wants."
Seeing that Zhang Cairen finally had some energy and fighting spirit, Ju Bai heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and continued to say to Zhang Cairen: "My lady, what you have to do now is to take care of your body, and take care of the little prince safely." Born. Although the officials believed the rumors and were angry with you, the slaves feel that the officials still have you in their hearts. Besides, the officials have always hoped that you can give birth to a prince for him. As long as you give birth to a prince, you will definitely be able to regain favor , so you have to cheer up."
"You are right, I want to cheer up, I want to give birth to the prince safely, and I want to regain favor." Zhang Cairen's eyes were full of hatred when he was provoked by Ju Bai's words, and at the same time full of fighting spirit. "Feed me the medicine."
When Ju Bai heard this, he almost cried with joy, and quickly scooped up a spoonful of medicine and fed it to Zhang Cairen's mouth.
"Miss, you should drink medicine to prevent miscarriage now."
Zhang Cairen opened his mouth and obediently drank the bitter medicine.
Seeing that Zhang Cairen shed tears silently after taking a few sips of the medicine, Ju Bai was so frightened that she quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"My lady, why are you crying? Is the medicine too bitter?"
Zhang Cairen shook his head, weeping silently and said: "Jubai, only you treat me well..." Before, the officials doted on her and were reluctant to let her suffer any grievances.Even if she takes medicine, she can't bear to suffer a little bit.But now, she's pregnant, and the officials don't want to come and see her. Could it be that the officials' friendship with her before was all fake?
"Miss, don't be sad, the officials just listened to other people's slander and misunderstood you." Ju Bai comforted, "I believe that the servants will understand after a while, and they will definitely come to see you."
"Really?" The thing Zhang Cairen was most afraid of was that Song Renzong didn't love her and didn't want her anymore.
"Really, don't give up."
"Okay, I won't give up, I will take care of myself and give birth to a child." The child in her stomach is her only support, and she can't give up on herself.
"Miss, drink up the medicine, you can eat something."
"it is good."
In Kunning Palace, Miao Zhaorong is making chrysanthemum tea with Empress Cao.
"Ma'am, Zhang Cairen's fetal gas has moved, and the officials didn't go to visit him. This time, Zhang Cairen has really fallen out of favor." What Miao Zhaorong wants to see most is that Zhang Cairen falls out of favor completely.
Empress Cao put the sun-dried chrysanthemums in a cloth bag, "It's only temporary, and she will return to favor when she gives birth safely."
"Isn't it?" Miao Zhaorong didn't want to believe it.
"The officials have loved her for so many years and have a lot of affection for her. It is impossible to completely dislike her because of this incident." Although Empress Cao is not close to Song Renzong, it can be said that she knows Song Renzong best. People from Renzong said, "What happened this time made the officials very angry, but it didn't make the officials completely loathe her. The officials put her under house arrest and did not go to see her, just to keep her from doing things she shouldn't do again."
"The official is treating Zhang Cairen..." Miao Zhaorong couldn't believe it.
"Also, the ministers have always been dissatisfied with the government's doting on Zhang Cairen. This time, Zhang Cairen did such a rebellious thing. The ministers were very dissatisfied with her and blamed the officials for pampering her too much. In order to give the ministers a Tell me, I won’t pamper her for the time being.” Empress Cao said flatly, “After a while, this matter will gradually be forgotten, and the officials will go to Mingluan Pavilion to visit her.”
"Zhang Cairen has done such a daring thing, and the official family still has feelings for her, and wants to spoil her, are the official family crazy?" Miao Zhaorong couldn't accept it.
Empress Cao glared at Miao Zhaorong lightly, and reminded her, "Sui Er, speak carefully."
"Mother, I don't understand, I really don't understand." Miao Zhaorong said in disbelief, "Do the officials love Zhang Cairen so much?"
Empress Cao said with a deep expression: "The official family is reluctant to part with Zhang Cairen." In her opinion, the official family did not love Zhang Cairen so deeply.Rather than saying that he loves Zhang Cairen, it is better to say that he is reluctant to part with Zhang Cairen, his love for him, and Zhang Cairen who is so ostentatious.Of course, there is the most important point, the more the ministers objected to him pampering Zhang Cairen, the more he wanted to dote on Zhang Cairen.After all, the official is a naive and rebellious person.
"What on earth did Zhang Cairen pour into the official family to make the official family love her so much?" Miao Zhaorong was not only unacceptable, but also a little jealous.
"You and I don't care about the affairs of the officials and Zhang Cairen." Empress Cao has always seen it very clearly, so her attitude towards Zhang Cairen is very "tolerant".If she wants to move Zhang Cairen, the officials will never let her go.In other words, the officials hoped that she would take action against Zhang Cairen, so that the officials would have a handle or an excuse to abolish her as a queen. "Let them make trouble." In the eyes of Empress Cao, the relationship between Song Renzong and Zhang Cairen was too naive and too funny.
"Your Majesty, I'm just not convinced." If it were the Empress Empress, I'm afraid the officials would never let the Empress Empress go easily.
"What is unconvinced, no matter how much trouble Zhang Cairen makes, you are still very important in the hearts of the officials." Empress Cao comforted Miao Zhaorong and said, "Why do you have to care about Zhang Cairen."
"Ma'am, I understand what you're saying, but I can't really care less like you." Miao Zhaorong is not Empress Cao, she and Song Renzong grew up together, and the two have had a very good relationship since childhood.Although she has always disliked Zhang Meiren, she has never been jealous of Zhang Cairen.However, just now when she learned that Song Renzong loved Zhang Cairen deeply, she felt uncontrollably jealous.
"You have an official in your heart, so naturally you can't do nothing." Empress Cao warned Miao Zhaorong, "Sui'er, don't do things you shouldn't do because of jealousy, understand?" Sometimes women will do things impulsively because of jealousy. something irreversible.Empress Cao didn't want Miao Zhaorong to deal with Zhang Cairen because of jealousy and do irreversible things.
Miao Zhaorong understood Empress Cao's meaning, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I won't do anything to Zhang Cairen."
"That's good." After Empress Cao finished speaking, she added, "During this period of time, don't mention the matter of talented people in front of the officials, you understand?"
"Your Majesty, I know." Although Miao Zhaorong was jealous just now, she did not lose her mind. "Your Majesty, I will not do impulsively what I shouldn't do."
Empress Cao looked at Miao Zhaorong, smiled and said, "That's good."
Miao Zhaorong stopped talking about Zhang Cairen and changed the subject to talk about other things.
"It's going to be winter in a while, ma'am, should we prepare some old clothes and send them to Juzicang?" Every winter, Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong would collect some old clothes and send them to Juzicang. children.
"We need to prepare some, but we don't need to prepare as much as last year." Empress Cao said, "At present, there are only children under the age of five in Juzicang, and there are not even ten children in total."
"Ma'am, where are the other children?"
"Adopted by someone." This "person" is the Cao family.This matter is considered a secret, and it is not easy for Empress Cao to tell Miao Zhaorong.
"So many children have been adopted." Miao Zhaorong looked surprised, "I hope these children can live well."
"It will be fine." Those children will go to the battlefield in the future, and it is up to God whether they will be fine.
"Why hasn't His Royal Highness come back yet?"
"He's gone to the Imperial Academy, and I'm afraid he won't be back until noon."
Two days ago, Zhao Yang went to the Imperial Academy to "play" with Yan Shu.
Yan Shu very much welcomes the Crown Prince to come and play with him.He accompanied Zhao Yang to eat snacks and drink tea.He also taught Zhao Yang how to write and read.Not only that, he also told stories to Zhao Yang.Of course, he also played Gobang and Nine Links with Zhao Yang.
At this time, Zhao Yang was being taught to write by Yan Shu.
It has been more than a year since I started learning to write last year.Zhao Yang's handwriting is much better than a year ago, but his handwriting is still very ugly.He himself felt very ugly, because it was too floating.
He is small and his wrist is not strong, so the words he writes are very floating.Yan Shu taught him how to write without drifting.
Yan Shu taught Zhao Yang how to write while teaching Zhao Yang how to read.
In the past two days, Yan Shu taught Zhao Yang a few poems and some characters.He found that His Highness the Crown Prince was really as smart as Xiwen and the others said, and he could learn it after teaching His Highness the Crown Prince three times.
In the past two days, after getting along with His Highness the Crown Prince, Yan Shu liked Zhao Yang more and more.
At noon, Zhao Yang left Yushuyuan and went to Funing Palace to find Song Renzong.
Seeing that his son had returned, Song Renzong took his son back to Kunning Palace for lunch.
During this period of time, Song Renzong either ate at Kunning Palace or at Qingning Palace.At the same time, he often stayed in the palace of Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong.
Seeing that Song Renzong took his son back to Kunning Palace for lunch on time, Empress Cao asked people to arrange lunch quickly.
Miao Zhaorong was going back to her palace for lunch, but Empress Cao stayed behind.After a while, Princess Fukang came to Kunning Palace after school.
When dining in private, neither Song Renzong nor Empress Cao had so many rules.While eating, you can chat and talk.
Princess Fukang first told Song Renzong and Empress Cao what she learned in the morning, and then complained and had to endorse.
Listening to Princess Fukang's dissatisfaction and complaints, Song Renzong and Empress Cao had helpless smiles on their faces.
Princess Fukang asked Zhao Yang what he did in the morning, and Zhao Yang told her what he had learned from Yan Shu in the morning.
After listening to Zhao Yang's words, Princess Fukang was shocked.She thinks that she is an older sister, and she should learn things quickly as her younger brother Zhao Yang, who is smarter than Zhao Yang, but the fact is completely opposite.
"Fukang, if you don't study hard, His Royal Highness will surpass you." Miao Zhaorong felt very helpless about her daughter's dislike of studying.
"Fukang, your sister is right." Song Renzong said, "Yang Yang has learned a lot of poetry, and can also recite "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius". If you don't study hard, you will lose to Yang Yang."
Princess Fukang glared at Zhao Yang: "Yangyang, what are you learning so fast?" Yang Yang looked so stupid because she learned so fast.
Zhao Yang looked innocent: "I don't learn fast." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Princess Fukang with contempt, "It's my sister, you are too stupid and slow to learn." His current learning progress is quite slow, Compared with Wang Pangpang, he is really unhappy.Fatty Wang has been studying the Four Books and Five Classics since the first half of the year.fortunate
