The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

Zhao Yang looked at Han Qi and the others, and then at Song Renzong, his cute little face was full of doubts.

He pointed at Han Qi and the others again, and babbled something to Song Renzong.

Although he couldn't understand what his son was saying, Song Renzong probably guessed what his son wanted to say.He first pointed to the first person standing on the left, and introduced to Zhao Yang: "Yang Yang, this is Fan Zhongyan."

Seeing Song Renzong introducing him to His Royal Highness, Fan Zhongyan bowed to Zhao Yang: "My minister, Fan Zhongyan, sees His Royal Highness the Prince."

Fan Zhongyan? !

When mentioning Fan Zhongyan, Zhao Yang's first reaction was "The Story of Yueyang Tower".This article, when I was in school, I recited it in full.However, at this time, Fan Zhongyan probably hadn't written "Yueyang Tower".

Zhao Yang stared at Fan Zhongyan in amazement, and exclaimed in his heart, he never thought that one day he would see the "live" Fan Zhongyan!

In my previous life, I only saw Fan Zhongyan in Chinese documents and history books.In this life, Fan Zhongyan stood in front of him alive, it was really incredible.However, the portrait of Fan Zhongyan in front of him is different from the portrait of Fan Zhongyan in the history books.

Fan Zhongyan in front of him had a big beard, a rough face and a tall figure.He doesn't look like a literati poet, but like a general.

This year is 1045. In history, Fan Zhongyan's New Deal failed and was demoted from Bianjing.In 1046, Fan Zhongyan wrote "Yueyang Tower", which caused headaches and fears for countless students in later generations.However, Fan Zhongyan and the others have not been excluded from the imperial court, and the New Deal has not failed.

"Yang Yang, this is Ouyang Xiu, his article is very good." Song Renzong introduced Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu one by one very seriously.

"My minister, Ouyang Xiu, has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

When mentioning Ouyang Xiu, Zhao Yang immediately thought of the very famous "Drunkard's Pavilion".However, at this time, Ouyang Xiu had not written "The Drunkard's Pavilion".In history, it was written after Ouyang Xiu was demoted to Chuzhou.

Ouyang in front of him is a mature man, but he looks like a fairy.It doesn't look like a literati, but a person who is cultivating Taoism.

"This is Han Qi."

"Chen Han Qi sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Mentioning Han Qi, Zhao Yang thought of the famous Ci "Dian Jiang Lips".However, this poem was written by Han Qi in his later years.Now Han Qi is an upright man in his prime, and there are still several decades before his work on "Dian Jiang Lips".

Han Qi in front of him was thin and thin, with fair skin, a handsome face, and a gentle and refined temperament.

Han Qi was also a well-known prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he was a real boss.

"This is Fu Bi."

"Chen Fubi has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

When mentioning Fu Bi, the first thing Zhao Yang thought of was that he was a famous "diplomat" in the Northern Song Dynasty.In history, Fu Bi went to Liao twice as an envoy and refused to cede land during the negotiations.

As for Fu Bi's literary works, Zhao Yang's only impression is the poem "Send Ouyang Gong" written to Ouyang Xiu.

The Fu Bi in front of him was handsome and gentle.

These four are all bigwigs, and they all exist in the language and history books of later generations.Students of later generations have memorized their works.

Seeing Han Qi and the four of them, Zhao Yang's mood was both excited and complicated.Excitedly, he saw the big brothers in real life.The complication is that in his previous life, he often memorized their works when he was in school.

These four people wrote poems, lyrics, or articles as soon as they were demoted, and the unlucky ones were the students of later generations.

Having said that, if he asks Fan Zhongyan and the others for a picture or an article to be sold by later generations, he will definitely be able to sell it for a sky-high price.

Fan Zhongyan and the four saw His Highness the Crown Prince looking at them with bright eyes, which made their hearts soften.

Zhao Yang pointed at Fan Zhongyan and the others, babbling all the time.

Seeing this, Song Renzong smiled and said to Fan Zhongyan and the others: "It seems that Yang Yang likes you very much."

"The ministers also like His Highness the Crown Prince very much." Fan Zhongyan and the others were relieved to see that His Highness the Crown Prince was healthy and lively. "Officials, ministers, etc., leave first." They delayed the official's work for a long time, so they should retreat to let the official rest.

Song Renzong nodded slightly, telling Fan Zhongyan and the others to retreat.

After exiting Funing Palace, Han Qi was the first to speak: "His Royal Highness looks very healthy and energetic."

Fan Zhongyan nodded and said approvingly: "His Royal Highness has a full heaven and a round earth pavilion. It is a face of wealth and auspiciousness. He will surely grow up healthy and safe." Fan Zhongyan is not only good at writing poems and articles, but also a little bit of physiognomy.

Ouyang Xiu said: "His Royal Highness looks very smart and cute, and he will definitely be like an official in the future."

Fu Bi echoed, "That's right."

Han Qi thought of how His Highness the Crown Prince was staring at them just now, couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is so cute, it's the first time I've seen such a good-looking kid." He thought he was not bad looking, The wife is not bad looking, but their child is not as good-looking as His Highness the Crown Prince.

Fan Zhongyan agreed with Han Qi's words very much, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes." Although Fan Zhongyan looks rough, but he is very soft inside, and he likes children very much.When I saw His Royal Highness just now, I was so cute by His Royal Highness.

Ouyang Xiudao: "His Royal Highness's eyes are very beautiful and sparkling."

Fu Bi nodded, agreeing with Ouyang Xiu and the others.

Ouyang Xiu and the others have already become fathers, but they have no resistance to cute and beautiful children.

"Since having His Royal Highness, the spirit of the officials has improved a lot." Han Qi said, "The body has also improved a lot."

Fan Zhongyan nodded slightly and said: "Indeed, the officials have been in a very good mood this year."

Ouyang Xiu said: "Since the birth of His Royal Highness, the New Deal has been implemented well." After the implementation of the New Deal, the results have been good. "His Royal Highness is the lucky star of Song Dynasty."

His words got Fu Bi and the others nodding unanimously.

"Actually, the birth of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also solved the biggest knot in the official family's heart." Han Qi said seriously, "A few years ago, the death of King Yu was a great blow to the official family. sick."

Ouyang Xiu and the others also knew about this matter.After the death of King Yu, the officials not only fell ill, but also became very mentally ill. During that time, the officials were in a trance when they went to court.

"At that time, I don't know where the rumors came from said that the reason why King Yu and Baohe Princess died was because the officials did not show filial piety to the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi." Han Qi sighed softly. I didn’t feel guilty about Zhuang Yi’s respect for filial piety, so I believed the rumors to be true, and I blamed myself very much.”

Song Renzong once asked Han Qi if God was punishing him for not being filial to Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi, so his children were allowed to leave one by one.

Han Qi comforted Song Renzong at the time, and he couldn't be blamed for this, after all, he didn't know.Those who do not know are not guilty.However, Song Renzong did not listen to his words.

"Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was born, otherwise the official family will always be worried about it."

"The birthday of His Highness the Crown Prince and Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi are on the same day, which means that Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi did not blame the official family." Fan Zhongyan stroked his beard and said, "Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi is the official mother, how could it be possible? Blame the officials."

Ouyang Xiu frowned slightly and said: "It was King Yan who instigated it, and the officials mistakenly thought that they were blamed by Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi." At that time, King Yan told the officials that Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi died unexpectedly, so as to provoke the relationship between the officials and Empress Dowager Liu. Feelings.The rumors in the past few years were also said by King Yan. He said that the reason why Song Renzong's heirs were difficult was because he did not show filial piety to Empress Zhuang Yi.

Fu Bi said: "I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can grow up safely and healthily." If His Highness the Crown Prince died suddenly like King Yu, it would be a fatal blow to the officials. He dared not think... what would happen then such consequences.

"His Royal Highness will grow up safely!" Han Qi and other ministers also sincerely hope that Zhao Yang can grow up safely and smoothly.

In Funing Palace, Song Renzong was feeding Zhao Yang some snacks.

Zhao Yang just woke up, before he had time to eat snacks, Zhang Maoshi carried him to Funing Palace.

Song Renzong crushed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake carefully, and then gently fed it into Zhao Yang's mouth.

Zhao Yang had a few teeth, and it was easy to eat crushed snacks.

After eating three pieces of osmanthus cake in a row, Zhao Yang was full.Although he really wanted to eat again, his stomach was full and he couldn't eat for the time being.

After Song Renzong fed his son and ate snacks, he went out for a walk with his son in his arms.While walking, he pointed to the things on the side of the road to teach Zhao Yang to recognize them.

Zhao Yang gave him face very much, and opened his mouth to babble in response to his words, which made him teach even more vigorously.

Zhang Maoshi followed Song Renzong and the others, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw the officials teaching His Royal Highness to recognize things with a smile on their faces.

The birth of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saved the official family, otherwise the official family would be guilty and restless for the rest of their lives.

Song Renzong looked at the bright smile on his son's face, and felt soft and satisfied in his heart.For him, Zhao Yang was a favor given to him by Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi, and it was also Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi's forgiveness to him.

At this time, in Mingluan Pavilion, Zhang Meiren was hugging the eighth princess who had just woken up.

Ju Bai walked in, first saluted Zhang Meiren, and then said respectfully: "Lady, the officials are walking in the imperial garden with His Highness the Crown Prince in their arms."

When Zhang Meiren heard this, she immediately frowned, and said with a downcast face: "It's the prince again!"

Seeing Zhang Meiren's anger, Ju Bai lowered his head in fright, not daring to say a word.

"Since there is a prince, the officials don't care much about You Wu." The eighth princess is named You Wu, who is one year older than Zhao Yang.

Two years ago, when Zhang Meiren was pregnant with the eighth princess, both she and Song Renzong thought she was the prince, especially Song Renzong very much hoped that her child would be a prince, and promised that if she gave birth to a prince, he would be crowned prince. As a result, a daughter was born.

Although she was born a princess, Song Renzong did not dislike her.It's just that after Empress Cao gave birth to the prince, Song Renzong didn't pay as much attention to the eight princesses as before.

After Zhao Yang was born, Song Renzong cared and loved him very much, so he naturally ignored the eighth princess.For this reason, Zhang Meiren was very dissatisfied.

Before Zhang Meisheng gave birth to Princess Anshou and Princess Baohe, Song Renzong loved and loved her very much and would visit her every day.Now, the eighth princess is not loved by Song Renzong like her two older sisters.During this period of time, Song Renzong was busy with the New Deal, and did not visit the harem, nor did he come to Mingluan Pavilion, and naturally he did not visit the Eighth Princess.However, he took the time to visit Zhao Yang in Kunning Palace every day, which made Zhang Meiren very unhappy.

"Let's go, let's go to the Imperial Garden too." Zhang Meiren asked the nurse to pick up Princess Eight and followed her to the Imperial Garden.
