The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

"What, Su Zimei is gone?"

Song Renzong and Zhao Yang's father and son showed incredible expressions at the same time.

"Impossible!" Zhao Yang frowned tightly, with an expression of unwillingness to believe, "I also sent him a lot of medicinal materials and supplements, and he wrote to me and told me that he ate it. How could something happen if he ate it. "He was also worried that Su Zimei would die of illness at the age of 40 like in history, so he specially prepared a lot of good medicinal materials and supplements for him.

"His Royal Highness, Su Xianggong is really gone." Zhang Maoshi handed the letter he just received to Song Renzong.

Song Renzong took the letter, read it carefully, and then let out a heavy sigh: "Oh, it's a pity for Su Zimei."

Zhao Yang took the letter from his father and read it carefully from the beginning.Su Zimei died of illness in the middle of the night five days ago.

It was written in the letter that in the past three years, Su Zimei's health has not been very good, and she often fell ill. Although it was not a serious illness, there were frequent minor illnesses.

Because it was a minor illness, Su Zimei didn't care too much about it.In addition, he was in a bad mood, depressed all the time, and didn't take medicine properly, which made his health worse and worse.

Some time ago, Su Zimei suffered from the wind and cold again, and had repeated fevers.I thought he would be fine as before, but I didn't expect him to survive this time.

As for the herbs and supplements that Zhao Yang gave to Su Zimei, he never took them.He felt that he was in good health, so there was no need to take such precious medicinal materials and supplements that His Highness the Crown Prince gave him.Even if he was sick, he didn't eat.

During the daytime five days ago, Su Zimei's fever had gone down, and his pulse became more stable. Everyone thought he was fine. Unexpectedly, he suddenly had a high fever in the middle of the night, and his condition became very serious. The doctor tried every means to treat him. But still powerless.

After Zhao Yang read the heart, he was very angry, but also very distressed and regretful.

He was angry that Su Zimei didn't take her body seriously, didn't listen to him, and didn't take the medicinal materials and supplements he sent.

Three years ago, before Su Zimei left Bianjing, Zhao Yang told him repeatedly that he must take care of his body and eat the supplements he gave him.Su Zimei agreed well, but unexpectedly turned around and went to another place, and left his words behind, which really pissed him off.

He was distressed and regretted that Su Zimei died of illness at the young age of forty.Su Zimei is a very talented person. Although his political ability is not as outstanding as his, he is also a very good person.

"Three years ago, I told him to take good care of his body and eat the supplements I gave him. He promised me to take good care of him. In the past three years, every time I wrote to him , let him not forget to eat the tonic I gave, but he didn't listen to me at all." Zhao Yang was really going to be pissed off by Su Zimei.

"Su Zimei's mind is sensitive and delicate. His demotion three years ago may be the reason for his depression." Song Renzong liked Su Zimei's articles and poems very much. From his poems, he can feel that his heart is relatively fragile.

"I was worried that he would become gloomy because of being demoted, so before he left, I deliberately said that I needed him, and hoped that I could learn to write articles and poems from him in the future, let him go to other places to do things well, and strive to be transferred back soon. Bianjing, he also agreed to me, I didn't expect..." Zhao Yang became more angry and helpless as he spoke, "I really didn't expect that he didn't listen to me at all."

"Su Zimei worked in other places, and his political achievements were not satisfactory. Perhaps it was because of this reason that he was depressed." Song Renzong felt it was a pity that Su Zimei died of illness. "He can't think about it himself, and it's useless to tell him no matter how much you try."

"Rather than complaining about yourself, it's better to do things well." Zhao Yang really doesn't like this kind of person who is sensitive and fragile, and likes to dig into the horns.If he didn't appreciate Su Zimei's talent, he would take so much trouble to care about him, but he was lucky, he promised well on the surface, but turned around and threw his care instructions aside.

This kind of person who doesn't take other people's concerns to heart is really annoying.

Besides, going to work in other places will definitely have all kinds of troubles at the beginning.As long as Su Zimei is determined to do things well, she will be able to overcome all kinds of difficulties, just like Ouyang Xiu and the others.However, when he sees difficulties, he becomes depressed and unhappy, how can this be done.

Seeing that his son was angry and distressed, Song Renzong raised his hand and gently patted his shoulder and said, "Not everyone can be like Ouyang Xiu and the others. Su Zimei is still too sensitive and fragile."

The more Zhao Yang thought about it, the more angry he became, his face flushed red with anger: "I'm angry that he didn't take good care of his body."

Seeing that his son was furious, Song Renzong quickly patted his chest to help him calm down.

"Things have already happened, it's useless for you to be angry."

Zhao Yang suddenly thought of Fan Zhongyan, and he was worried that Fan Zhongyan would be as perfunctory as Su Zimei.

"Fan Zhongyan is really well, is he okay?" If Fan Zhongyan had the same virtue as Su Zimei, he pretended to listen to his words on the surface, and secretly refused to eat the medicinal materials and supplements he sent. "He won't lie to me like Su Zimei, will he?"

"That's not true. Fan Zhongyan listened to you very much and ate all the herbs and supplements you gave him."

Zhao Yang was full of suspicion: "Really?" Su Zimei still died of illness as in history, and he was a little worried that Fan Zhongyan would also die of illness in another place like in history.

Song Renzong glanced at Zhang Maoshi, Zhang Maoshi understood immediately, and said respectfully to Zhao Yang: "His Royal Highness, Fan Xianggong is fine in other places, and nothing happened."

"Didn't lie to me?"

"The villain dare not deceive His Highness the Crown Prince." Zhang Maoshi said, "Fan Xianggong listens to you very much and takes good care of his body."

"Fan Zhongyan has always wanted to return to Bianjing to be your husband, how could he not listen to you." Song Renzong said reassuringly, "You have to trust Fan Zhongyan."

Hearing what Song Renzong and Zhang Maoshi said, Zhao Yang felt relieved a lot.

"That's good, I didn't disappoint my heart." If Fan Zhongyan failed his heart like Su Zimei did, he would really be pissed off. "When will he return to Bianjing?"

"Fan Zhongyan still has some things to do. He will not be able to return to Bianjing until the end of the year at the earliest, and next year at the earliest."

Zhao Yang thought for a while and said, "I will write a letter to him later, asking him to give me peace and come back in good health."

"Fan Zhongyan dare not not listen to you."

"Daddy, what should we do about Su Zimei?" No matter how angry he was, Su Zimei was gone.

"Inform his family and send someone to bring him back to Bianjing." Song Renzong said, "I will reward his family with something, restore him to his original position, and let him be buried in a glorious place. "This is the last thing Song Renzong can do for Su Zimei.

Zhao Yang nodded and said: "That's the only way to go." Su Zimei was unhappy because he was demoted to another place, so it should be a very good ending for him to pick him up and return to Bianjing and resume his original job. "well……"

Hearing his son's sigh, Song Renzong stretched out his hand and squeezed his soft little face: "Children, don't sigh."

Zhao Yang stretched out his hand and waved Song Renzong's hand away, and said quietly, "I'm sorry for Su Zimei." Su Zimei has a very gentle temperament. Bought it for him the first time. "He's only 40 years old."

"Yeah, he's only 40 years old." Song Renzong also sighed, "He's gone, it's useless for us to be here."

Zhao Yang sighed again.

"Yangyang, go and tell your lady about this, and ask her to tell Su Zimei's wife." Su Zimei's wife is a close friend of Empress Cao's boudoir.

Three years ago, Su Zimei was demoted to other places.He was reluctant to let his wife and children go to other places to endure hardships with him, so he let his wife and children stay in Bianjing, and let them wait for him to come back.

"Okay, I'm going to tell the lady now."

In Kunning Palace, Empress Cao couldn't believe that Su Zimei died of illness when she heard about it.

"Su Zimei is only 40 years old, why is he..." Empress Cao said heavily, "How can Huilan accept this?" Su Zimei's wife, Du Huilan, is the daughter of Du Yan.Empress Cao and her are not only secret daughters in the boudoir, but also grew up together since childhood. The relationship between the two is very good, just like sisters.

"Ma'am, please comfort me." There is no other way but to comfort her.

"Why is Su Zimei so overwhelmed?" Empress Cao said with a frown.

"It's too sensitive and fragile." Literati are more sensitive in mind, but they are still very noble. Once things don't go their way, they can't accept it, and then blame themselves and kill themselves alive.

Empress Cao shook her head and sighed, "I'll send someone to inform Huilan right now."

"Ma'am, if you're worried, I'll accompany you out of the palace." Su Zimei and his wife are very much in love.Now that Su Zimei passed away suddenly, I'm afraid his wife won't be able to accept this heavy blow.

"It's getting late. It's not suitable to leave the palace today. I'll go to Su's house tomorrow morning."

"I'll go with you."

"it is good."

Empress Cao called Chunyu in, gave her a token, and told her to leave the palace immediately to Su's house and inform Du Huilan of Su Zimei's death.

Because of Su Zimei's sudden illness, neither Zhao Yang nor Empress Cao had much appetite for dinner.

After dinner, Zhao Yang talked with Empress Cao for a while before returning to the East Palace.

On the way back to the East Palace, Cao Xu saw that Zhao Yang was still in a bad mood, so he comforted him and said, "Your Highness, you are already dead, so don't be too sad."

"Alas... I'm angry and sad, after all..." Zhao Yang didn't say any more.

"Your Highness, it's because he doesn't cherish his own body. No matter how sad you are, it's useless." Cao Xu had never met Su Zimei, but after hearing about Su Zimei's death, he had no sympathy for Su Zimei. "There are too many literati like him who can't stand a little blow." These literati are the most useless, unable to bear the slightest difficulty, and then looking for life and death. "It's still too useless after all."

Cao Xu's last sentence was very mean, but it was also very right.

"Your Highness, you have done everything you should do. It's because he doesn't cherish himself, so you don't have to feel guilty." Although Cao Xu has only been with Zhao Yang for two years, and they have been together day and night in the past two years, he still has some understanding of Zhao Yang's temperament. , he knew that Zhao Yang was not only regretful and sad about Su Zimei's death, but also felt guilty for Su Zimei.

"I guessed that he would be unhappy when he was demoted to other places, and he might even die, so before he left, I told him that way, in order to let him live well, and then return to Bianjing safely .” Zhao Yang wanted to save Su Zimei, but he still couldn’t save him. "With his talent, he will be able to return to Bianjing in a few years."

"Your Highness, you did your best."

"Oh, forget it." No matter how much he felt sorry for Su Zimei, Su Zimei couldn't survive.

"Your Highness, don't you like Wenchen very much, why are you so uncomfortable with Su Zimei's death?"

"I don't like civil servants' suppression of generals and submission to Liaoxia, but they are not without merit." Zhao Yang said to Cao Xu seriously, "Many civil servants still have the ability to govern the world. And generals Not all of them have available talents. Governing a country is not something that can be governed by civil servants or military generals alone, but can only be cured by the joint efforts of civil servants and military generals, understand?" He felt that he had given Ah Xu The wrong information made Ash think that civil servants are useless, and military generals are better than civil servants.

It was the first time Cao Xu saw His Highness the Crown Prince speak to him so harshly, and he froze for a moment.

"Ah Xu, what I want is that civil servants and military generals work together, not that civil servants are superior to military generals, or military generals are superior to civil servants, do you know?"

Cao Xu nodded with a vague understanding: "I see, Your Highness."

"Ah Xu, civil servants are not as bad as you imagined." Zhao Yang raised his hand and patted Cao Xu's shoulder heavily, "In the future, when dealing with civil servants, don't blindly dislike them and learn from others."

"Huh?" Cao Xu was dumbfounded, "What are the merits of learning from civil servants?"

"Ah Xu, you are my companion, and you will be my most important confidant in the future. I hope you will have the ability to govern the world like a civil servant, and you will also have the bravery and loyalty of a general." Zhao Yangyu said to Cao Xu earnestly, "If you You have always held such great hostility towards civil servants, so how can you be both civil and military in the future?"

"Your Highness, I..."

"Ash, don't let me down!"

When Cao Xu heard this, his heart shivered, and he clasped his fists in both hands and bowed to Zhao Yang: "Your Highness, I will definitely not let you down!" His Highness has high hopes for him, and he will definitely learn from the civil servants' ability to govern the world in the future, and will not let up The study of martial arts and the art of war.

Seeing that Cao Xu listened to his words, Zhao Yang nodded in satisfaction and praised him: "I knew you would not let me down!"

Cao Xu said solemnly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely study with you and Mr. Yan in the future."

"That's right." Zhao Yang smiled, "Let's go back."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The next morning, it was rare for Zhao Yang not to sleep in, and accompanied Empress Cao to Su's house.

Knowing that Su Zimei died of illness, the entire Su family was shrouded in great grief.

Du Huilan passed out after hearing the news last night. When she woke up, her whole body was filled with despair.

When she saw Empress Cao come to visit, she didn't react at all.She seemed to have lost her soul, sitting numbly on the bed.

When Empress Cao saw her friend's grief-stricken appearance, her heart was pierced by a knife, and she couldn't help crying while holding her friend.

Seeing that everyone in the Su family was very sad, Zhao Yang comforted them and told them not to be too sad.

With the official family and the visits from the Empress and His Highness the Crown Prince, the Su family recovered a bit.

As a queen, Empress Cao could not stay outside the palace for a long time, so she comforted Du Huilan before returning to the palace.

On the way back to the palace, Zhao Yang asked Empress Cao: "Madam, how is Su Zimei's son?" Last night, after the Su family received the news of Su Zimei's death, Su Zimei's son went to Suzhou overnight to pick up his father.

"It's very similar to Su Zimei, and also very talented." Empress Cao understood her son's meaning just after she finished speaking, "Yangyang, you want to..."

"If Su Zimei's son is a useful talent, I will reuse him in the future." It can be regarded as the end of Su Zimei, and the regret between him and Su Zimei.

"It's a usable talent, you can use it."

Hearing what Empress Cao said, Zhao Yang knew it in his heart.

"Su Zimei was restored to his original position by his father. According to the regulations, Su Zimei's son can be compensated by his father and given a Jinshi background. I will let my father arrange for him to enter the Imperial Academy." Study in the Imperial Academy, and when Ouyang Xiu and the others come back, I will ask them who is willing to bring Su Zimei's son."

"Your arrangement is very good." Empress Cao knew her son's painstaking efforts in making such an arrangement.

"Su Zimei didn't do what he promised me, so let his son do it for him."

"After his filial piety expires, you will arrange him to do things." Su Zimei passed away. According to the rules, Su Zimei's son had to observe his filial piety for three years.

"Okay, but ma'am, you can tell the Su family." Su Zimei died suddenly, and the Su family lost their backbone. Telling the news to the Su family will give the Su family a sense of security.

"I'll tell Huilan." Empress Cao sighed slightly, "I hope Huilan can survive."

"Aunt Lan is afraid that it will take a year or two to recover." Suddenly losing the person she loves most can't be recovered in a year or two.

Back in the palace, Empress Cao and Zhao Yang first went to Funing Palace to report to Song Renzong about the situation of the Su family.

Song Renzong sighed again after hearing this.

Zhao Yang told Song Renzong about the arrangement for Su Zimei's son, and Song Renzong agreed to the arrangement without saying a word.

After reporting the situation of the Su family to Song Renzong, Zhao Yang returned to the East Palace.

Yan Shu had already gone to the East Palace, and had been waiting for Zhao Yang to come back.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm late."

"His Royal Highness is serious." Yan Shu knew that Zhao Yang had gone to the Su family, and asked with concern, "Your Highness, how is the Su family now?"

"After Madam and I went, they got better." Zhao Yang said, "The Su family will wait until Su Zimei is brought back for the funeral."

"Oh, Zimei is a pity." In Yan Shu's eyes, Su Zimei was just like his own nephew, and Yan Shu felt very sad about his death.

Zhao Yang didn't want to talk about Su Zimei anymore, it would only make him sadder if he talked too much.He changed the subject and asked Yan Shu: "Sir, how was your conversation with the professor of Taixue yesterday?"

"I have told Uncle Mao what His Royal Highness wants, and he agrees with your arrangement." Yan Shu said with a smile, "He asked you to give him a period of time, and he will do a good job."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yang nodded with satisfaction: "That's good."

"Your Highness, after a while, you can go to Taixue for yourself." Yan Shu said, "If Uncle Mao is not doing well enough, you can talk to him about it."

"Okay, then I'll go to Taixue to visit in a while." Zhao Yang originally planned to go to Taixue to visit Su Shi and Su Zhe in a while. "Sir, let's read."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Today, Cao Xu listened attentively to Yan Shu's lecture.Since he promised His Royal Highness that he will study hard, he will naturally do it.

At noon, after class, Zhao Yang took Cao Xu to Kunning Palace for lunch.

After the Chen family entered the palace, Song Renzong never came to Kunning Palace again, nor did he have dinner with Empress Cao.

Empress Cao didn't care about Song Renzong not coming to Kunning Palace.For her, it would be better if Song Renzong didn't come.

"Uncle Li Guo brought Li Wei into the palace."

When Zhao Yang heard Li Wei's name, his brows immediately frowned: "Why did they enter the palace? My sister won't be called to see Li Wei, right?" Miao Zhaorong and Princess Fukang didn't have lunch with them today. use together.

"No, Fukang is in Qingning Palace."

Ever since Zhao Yang made a fuss that time, Song Renzong never let Li Wei appear in front of him, nor did he let Princess Fukang go to see Li Wei.

"That's good." As soon as Zhao Yang finished speaking, he was worried, so he called Yuan Song in, "Go and tell your sister, if daddy asks her to go to Funing Palace to meet Li Wei, let her come to me first. "

"Yes, Your Highness." Yuan Song took the order and went to Qingning Palace.

"Why are you so wary of meeting Fukang and Li Wei?" Yang Yang didn't want to see Li Wei when he was over one year old, and now that he's six years old, he still doesn't want to see Li Wei.

"Ma'am, that Li Wei plotted against my sister." Don't look at Li Wei's simple and honest appearance, but he is very scheming.

"Conspiracy against Fukang?" Empress Cao asked in surprise, "What is he planning for Fukang?"

"Sister Tu will marry him."

Empress Cao was shocked by her son's words, and then said with a helpless smile, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid."

"Ma'am, I'm not talking nonsense." Zhao Yang said with a serious face, "Li Wei just wants to marry his sister, and he wants to be a son-in-law to enjoy the glory and wealth."

"Impossible, Li Wei is Fukang's cousin." Empress Cao felt that her son's idea was absurd, "Even if he wanted to marry Fukang, the officials would not agree to it, after all, his seniority is wrong."

Zhao Yang said meaningfully: "Madam, that's not necessarily true."

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Yang did not answer directly, but instead asked Empress Cao: "Madam, what is Daddy's attitude towards the Li family?"

Empress Cao thought for a moment and said, "Compensation."

"There are still debts. If Li Wei tells Dad that he wants to marry his sister, Dad will agree without hesitation."

Cao Xu on the side opened his mouth in surprise: "No way, Li Wei is the princess's cousin, how could the officials agree?"

"Li Wei is only three years older than my sister. In my father's opinion, marrying my sister to Li Wei is a very good marriage." Zhao Yang said, "One is to make up for his debt to the Li family, and the other is that Li Home is our own family, my sister will not be wronged when she marries Li Wei."

After listening to her son's analysis, Empress Cao felt that it made sense.With Song Renzong's temperament, he really would not care about seniority and let Li Wei marry Princess Fukang.

"Li Wei doesn't have much talent and learning, so he is not suitable to be an official in the court. He can become a son-in-law if he marries his sister." Zhao Yang continued to analyze, "Although a son-in-law cannot participate in politics, he has a salary, and his status has become more honorable. Or, my sister is the only daughter of my father and the only princess of the Song Dynasty, if I marry my sister, I will be able to enjoy the glory and wealth for a lifetime, so why not do it?"

"you're right."

"Uncle Li Guo is a nice person, but Li Wei is not." Zhao Yang said with disgust on his face, "My sister will not have any good results if she marries him. The most important point is that my sister doesn't like Li Wei, so I can't Let dad marry my sister to Li Wei."

"With the temperament of the official family, it is really possible to marry Fukang to Li Wei." Empress Cao said with some concern, "With his attitude of compensation to the Li family, I am afraid no one can stop him."

"I'll stop it. If my father insists on marrying my sister to Li Wei, then after I ascend the throne, I will immediately order my sister and Li Wei to reconcile." But I don't feel guilty at all, I won't be polite to the Li family then."

As soon as Empress Cao heard her son's words, she knew what her son was planning.

"Are you threatening the officials?"

"Yes, if Daddy insists on marrying my sister to Li Wei, then I can only threaten." Zhao Yang spread his hands rascally, "Daddy is only my son, and he will not abolish me for the sake of the Li family, so he If you insist on marrying your sister to Li Wei, then don't blame me for being rude to the Li family after I ascended the throne." He has no affection for the Li family.

Empress Cao looked at her son helplessly and dotingly: "You..."

"Ma'am, Li Wei is 14 years old this year. It stands to reason that we should propose a kiss to him, but as far as I know, the Li family did not propose a kiss to him. They were obviously waiting for their sister Jiji." Based on Song Renzong's attitude towards the Li family , there are many people who want to curry favor with the Li family, and there are also many people who want to marry their daughters to Li Wei, but the Li family has not arranged a marriage for Li Wei for a long time, which shows that the Li family has already made up their minds. Princess Fukang is on her body. "Uncle Li Guo brought Li Wei into the palace today, probably because of Li Wei's marriage."

"Uncle Li Guo should not raise this matter with the officials." Empress Cao felt that Uncle Li Guo was not that kind of person.

"Uncle Li Guo won't, but Li Wei will ask to marry my sister." Zhao Yang said very firmly, "Ma'am, just wait and see."

Sure enough, Zhao Yang caught it.

Song Renzong hadn't seen Li Wei for a long time, but when he saw Li Wei suddenly today, he found that Li Wei had grown up a lot.Knowing that Li Wei is 14 years old this year, I asked Li Wei if she was engaged.

Li Wei said he was not engaged.

As soon as Song Renzong heard that Li Wei hadn't made a kiss yet, he thought about making a kiss to Li Wei, his little cousin, and asked Li Wei what kind of woman he liked.

Li Wei was too shy to answer the question.

Song Renzong saw his shy appearance, asked him if he had someone he liked, and asked Li Wei to tell him that he would give him a marriage.

Li Wei hesitated for a long time without saying anything.

Song Renzong thought that Li Wei was too shy to speak out, so he encouraged him to speak out boldly.

Li Wei hesitated again before telling Song Renzong that he liked Princess Fukang and wanted to marry Princess Fukang as his wife.

When he said this, not only Song Renzong was shocked, but also Uncle Li Guo.

Uncle Li Guo didn't know that Li Wei liked Princess Fukang. He always thought that Li Wei liked Princess Fukang because the elders liked the younger ones, but he didn't expect it to be between men and women.

Immediately, Uncle Li Guo reprimanded Li Wei severely, and then pleaded guilty to Song Renzong.

Song Renzong was silent.

Li Wei told Song Renzong fearlessly that he had liked Princess Fukang since he was a child, and wanted to marry Princess Fukang since he was a child, and asked Song Renzong to make it happen.

When Uncle Li Guo heard this, he slapped Li Wei angrily, but Li Wei still said very stubbornly that he liked Princess Fukang and that he would not marry Princess Fukang in his life.

Feeling ashamed to stay in the palace, Uncle Li Guo pleaded guilty to Song Renzong, and then took Li Wei out of the palace.

Song Renzong didn't blame Li Wei for being rude, and let Uncle Li Guo take him away.

"I always thought Xiaowei liked Fukang because the elders liked the juniors, but I didn't expect him..." Li Wei's words before really scared Song Renzong.

"Officials, Mr. Li is the princess's cousin, how could he..." Zhang Maoshi said disapprovingly, "This messes up the seniority."

"It's a mess of seniority." That's what he said, but Song Renzong's expression was thoughtful.

Zhang Maoshi, who knew Song Renzong's temperament well, knew what Song Renzong was thinking when he saw the thoughtful look on Song Renzong's face, and he screamed in his heart.This matter must be known to the Empress and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Song Renzong didn't talk about Li Wei anymore, and continued to review the Zhazi.

Zhang Maoshi retreated quietly, whispered something to Liang Yin, and then Liang Yin hurried to Kunning Palace.

Zhao Yang was still in Kunning Palace, and when he saw Liang Yin coming, he raised his eyebrows and said to Empress Cao, "Young lady is here."

Liang Yin first saluted Empress Cao and Zhao Yang, and then told Zhao Yang and the others what Li Wei had said to Song Renzong in Funing Palace.

Cao Xu was drinking tea, and after hearing Liang Yin's words, he spit out all the tea in his mouth in shock.

It was really hit by His Royal Highness the Prince!

His Royal Highness is as good as a god!

"Ma'am, what's the matter, I'm right." Thinking of Li Wei, Zhao Yang said with disgust, "I just said that Li Wei has been playing with my sister."

Empress Cao did not expect to be hit by her son, and the official may really agree.

"I know about this matter." Empress Cao nodded to Liang Yin, "Thank you Mr. Zhang for helping me."

"Your Majesty, you are serious." They watched the princess grow up. The princess has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and she is very good to their servants. They hope that the princess will have a good home, but Li Wei is definitely not a good home.

After Liang Yin reported the matter, he withdrew.

"Ma'am, tell my little lady to prepare her so that she won't be fooled by her father." Miao Zhaorong has always listened to Song Renzong's words. Zhaorong will definitely be persuaded by Song Renzong to agree. "As for my sister, don't tell her."

"Okay, I'll tell your little lady." Empress Cao sighed in her heart: Every time she felt that the officials did something absurd enough, she never thought that the officials could do even more absurd things.

"I will definitely stop this matter."

"Don't rush to threaten the official family. If the official family really wants to marry Fukang to Li Wei, your little lady and I will persuade the official family first." Empress Cao didn't want her son to threaten Song Renzong, because it was not very It is wise to say, "We can't persuade you, you can tell the officials again."

Zhao Yang just thought of a good idea: "I'd better talk to Uncle Li Guo directly." It's not wise to threaten his father, it's better to threaten Uncle Li Guo directly.Dad respected Li Guojiu very much, but Li Guojiu insisted on not agreeing, so Dad could only listen to what Li Guojiu said.

"Well, it's better to talk to Uncle Li Guo."

"I'll talk to Uncle Li Guo in the afternoon." His father hasn't agreed to Li Wei yet, but there are already signs in his heart, and he has to kill the signs in his father's heart. "This matter must be cut quickly, and it cannot be delayed."

Empress Cao nodded slightly: "Go."

"Ma'am, I'm going back first, and I'll go to Li's house in the afternoon."

"it is good."

Zhao Yang returned to the East Palace and took a nap. At the beginning of Shen Shi, he took Cao Xu out of the palace.

"Your Highness, I have practiced bow slaves in private. When will you take a look?"

Zhao Yang asked the craftsmen of the Imperial City Department to make a batch of bow slaves, and then privately gave them to Chu Yue and the others.Because he didn't want civil servants to know the existence of Gong Nu for the time being, Zhao Yang didn't tell the imperial guards in the palace.

"In two days, you will come to the East Palace in batches in the afternoon, and I will inspect it myself."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhao Yang didn't go directly to Li's house, but asked Cao Xu to go to Li's house and invite Uncle Li Guo to meet him at Sun Bookstore.

Uncle Li Guo was very puzzled when he learned that His Highness the Prince had met him in private, and when he saw Zhao Yang, he walked out of the Sun Bookstore with a terrified expression.

Li Wei was still clamoring at home to marry Princess Fukang, and Mrs. Li was very distressed.When Uncle Li came back, Mrs. Li asked Uncle Li to persuade the officials to get Li Wei and Princess Fukang engaged.

Uncle Li Guo scolded his wife severely, and also scolded Li Wei severely, which made him die.

Li Wei naturally refused to agree, saying that he would not eat if he disagreed with marrying Princess Fukang.

Mrs. Li was terrified when she heard that, and asked Uncle Li Guo to ask the official's house.

Uncle Li Guo asked Li Wei to go on a hunger strike.Even if he died of a hunger strike, he would not go to the official family.He also ordered Li Wei to be locked up, and when Li Wei gave up the idea of ​​marrying Princess Fukang, he would be released.

Mrs. Li had never seen Uncle Li Guo get so angry, and she was a little frightened by Uncle Li Guo.

Uncle Li Guo loves Li Wei very much, but for the future of their Li family, he must not let the officials agree to marry Princess Fukang to their Li family.

"Fu Hui?" Su Xun was a little surprised when he met Zhao Yang at Sun Bookstore.

"uncle."

"Fuhui, I happen to have something to look for you."

"Uncle, if you have anything to say, please speak up."

"Ashi asked me to ask you, can he submit an article about braised pork to Sun Bookstore." Su Shi thought that a dish as delicious as braised pork should be eaten by everyone in the world, so he thought of submitting it to "Gourmet of the Song Dynasty" .However, before he submitted the manuscript, he had to seek Zhao Yang's consent.

Zhao Yang frowned slightly, with a troubled expression on his face.

"I told Ah Shi not to contribute."

"Uncle, Ashi wants people all over the world to know about braised pork. It is right to eat braised pork, but..." Zhao Yang hesitated and said, "I'm worried that the price of pork will skyrocket because of this."

What the people in the palace like to eat, such as what he, the lady, and dad like to eat, will immediately spread to the people, and then such things will skyrocket.If he likes to eat apples very much, the price of apples among the people will skyrocket, which will make ordinary people unable to eat apples.

Song Renzong warned Zhao Yang and Empress Cao that they should not let people see what they like when they eat on weekdays, otherwise something will happen if it spreads to the people.

Two years ago, Zhao Yang made egg cakes and spread them among the people. The price of eggs soared, making ordinary people unable to eat eggs.Later, Zhao Yang suggested that Song Renzong use tough means to stabilize the price, and the price of eggs returned to normal.

"Fuhui, pork is not the meat that the rich and powerful like to eat, and the price should not increase." Pork is indeed not the meat that the rich and powerful like to eat, and the dignitaries like to eat mutton on weekdays.As for pork, the rich and powerful despise it being dirty and unpalatable.

"That's true, let Ashi vote." Zhao Yang suddenly thought that if braised pork became popular, it would not be a bad thing to increase the price of pork, which would increase the income of ordinary people.If the price of pork rises too much, let the imperial court take action to stabilize the price. "Uncle, how is your braised pork?"

Su Xun said with some embarrassment: "It hasn't succeeded yet." After finishing speaking, he hastily added, "It's about to succeed."

"Looking forward to your uncle's braised pork."

"At the end of this month, I should be able to do it successfully. Then you have to come and try it."

"Okay, I will definitely try it."

Zhao Yang asked about the situation of Su Shi and Su Zhe in Taixue again with concern.Su Xun said that Su Shi and Su Zhe had made like-minded friends in Taixue, and their studies were more vigorous than before, which made him very pleased.

Zhao Yang was relieved to learn that Su Shi and Su Zhe had studied well in Taixue.

After chatting with Su Xun for a while, Zhao Yang returned to the palace.As soon as he returned to the palace, he was very happy to learn that Ouyang Xiu had returned to Bianjing.

Ouyang Xiu just came back, and he was full of travel and dust, so he couldn't enter the palace to face the saint for the time being.Besides, when he came back from a long journey, he was very tired and needed a good rest.

When Song Renzong learned that Ouyang Xiu had returned to Bianjing, he ordered him to rest at home for two days.After he had rested, it would not be too late to enter the palace.

Although Ouyang Xiu was eager to see Song Renzong and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but
