The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

This year's spring hunting, Zhao Yang won No.1 again without any accident because he shot a bear.In addition to a bear, he was also lucky to pick up an injured Hai Dongqing.

It is a pure white crinoid, a young bird over one year old.Maybe it was flying in the wrong direction and flew to Bianjing City.Or maybe it was because of an injury that it flew to the wrong place.

The injured Hai Dongqing suddenly fell from the air, and fell into Zhao Yang's arms very precisely.

When it fell into Zhao Yang's arms, it didn't move and was very obedient. Its round eyes looked at Zhao Yang pitifully, as if asking Zhao Yang for help.

In his previous life, when Zhao Yang traveled to the Tibetan side, he saw Costin, a veritable bird of prey, and a bird of prey that was kept in prison.

In this life, I didn't expect it to be delivered to the door, and it is very cute and cute.

This sea dongqing only let Zhao Yang get close to it.When other people approach it, they will become very vicious.Not only that, it only eats what Zhao Yang feeds it, not what other people feed it.Even if other people pass the meat to its mouth, it will not eat it.

Zhao Yang can only take care of it himself, give it medicine, and feed it.

The medicine in the palace is naturally excellent, and Hai Dongqing's wound healed within half a month.

Zhao Yang originally thought that Hai Dongqing would fly away after recovering from his injury.He didn't intend to keep Costin, after all, it was a bird of prey, and it belonged to the sky and nature, not the palace.In the end, he let it return to nature, but it didn't return, sticking tightly to his side.

Seeing that Hai Dongqing was unwilling to leave, Zhao Yang had no choice but to accept it and named it "Dahai".

The sea around Zhao Yang is not like a bird of prey, but like a well-behaved kitten.

Zhao Yang reads and writes, and it squats beside Zhao Yang's hand.When Zhao Yang was sleeping, it squatted beside his bed.When Zhao Yang went up to court, it squatted at his feet like a loyal guard.

Dahai is very spiritual and can understand Zhao Yang's words.Seeing this, Zhao Yang often trained it to deliver letters or other things on weekdays.Also let it catch things, such as small animals such as rabbits or chickens.He also trained it to spy on other humans.

Before that, there was a horse trainer who came to Bianjing together with the warhorse.This horse trainer not only trains horses, but also trains eagles.Not only that, but he can also speak eagle.

Zhao Yang learned the way of training Dahai from him, and also learned "Eagle Language" from him.He wanted to train the sea as a battlefield for his eyes.

When the Liao Kingdom and Mongolia were at war, some of their generals could often be seen "carrying" eagles in their hands.Their eagles are not only their eyes, their messengers, but also their "thugs".

The lethality of a beast like Haidongqing attacking humans is astonishing, and it is not difficult to kill a person.

Spring hunting has passed for a while, and it will be a provincial test in a while.

During this period of time, the topic of early morning basically revolved around the provincial test.

However, before the provincial test, the Duanyang Festival must be celebrated first.

The Duanyang Festival is only a few days away, and both the palace and the city of Bianjing are full of festive atmosphere.

Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, Bianjing City will hold dragon boat races, poetry fairs, riddle guessing and other activities.

During the Dragon Boat Festival in recent years, students of Taixue will participate in dragon boat races, attracting people in Bianjing to watch.

The rich and powerful do not race dragon boats, but they play polo.There will be polo matches in the palace.

On the day of Duanyang Festival, ministers and dignitaries will enter the palace to participate in the Duanyang banquet.

After the luncheon, they will play polo in the palace.

A few years ago, Zhao Yang was young and did not participate in polo matches.In the past two years, he has grown up a lot and started to participate in polo games.

Polo is a game of grace and brutality, as well as an aristocratic sport.

Song Renzong didn't play polo very well, but Empress Cao and Zhao Yang played very well.

Every time a polo competition is held in the palace, Empress Cao must be the champion of women's polo.Zhao Yang is the champion of the children's group.

The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhao Yang went out of the palace to find Shen Kuo and the others, and gave them zongzi.

Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhao Yang and the others eat dumplings made by Empress Cao and Miao Zhaorong.However, in the past four years, the zongzi that Zhao Yang ate was made by Zheyun.

Of course, the zongzi that Zhao Yang gave to Su Shi and the others was not made by Empress Cao She Zheyun and the others, but by the royal chef in the palace.

He told Miao Zhaorong about the various and strange zongzi in modern times, which led to the current zongzi in Song Dynasty with many weird fillings, such as salted egg yolk meat filling, fruit filling, lotus seed paste and salted egg stuffing. , crab roe stuffing, etc.

In recent years, the more strange the stuffing of rice dumplings, the more popular they are.It seems that not only modern people are curious, but ancient people are also curious.

Zhao Yang eats zongzi as a sweet party, and can't accept salty zongzi.However, the zongzi he gave to Su Zhe and the others ranged from sweet to salty.Of course, eating tofu nao, Zhao Yang is a salty party, and he can't accept sweet tofu nao.

Su Xun and his wife also made a lot of zongzi.Knowing that Zhao Yang likes to eat sweet rice dumplings, they specially made candied dates and red bean fillings.Su Shi's mother also made Zhao Yang a "five-color" sachet for the Dragon Boat Festival.

On the day before and on the day of Duanyang Festival, Taixue will have a holiday.

Su Shi and Su Zhe invited Shen Kuo to their home to spend the Dragon Boat Festival with them.

In fact, in recent years, Shen Kuo spent part of his time living in Su Shi's house.During festivals, he would definitely be at Su Zhe's house.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhao Yang will spend it in the palace, but he can come out to play at night.In the past few years, he will spend the Dragon Boat Festival with Su Shi and the others at night.Join Shen Kuo and others in the Duanyang Festival poetry meeting and guessing riddles.

Poetry gatherings are held every year during the Lantern Festival, Duanyang Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

In the past four years, the poems of Su Shi and his brothers have been very popular.Every Lantern Festival, Duanyang, and Mid-Autumn Festival, literati, students and girls are looking forward to the poems of the two brothers.

Half a month before the Duanyang Festival, gambling shops in Bianjing began to bet on Su Shi and Su Zhe's poems for the Duanyang Festival, whether they were good or not.

This year's Duanyang Festival is still as lively as ever, and nothing bad happened.This year's Duanyang Festival poetry meeting, the poems of the two brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe won No.1 and No.2 without any accident, and No.3 was Zeng Gong.

As soon as Su Zhe and his brothers finished writing the poem, it spread throughout Bianjing.That night, the girls of Qunfang Pavilion turned their poems into songs and sang them in Bianjing.

A few days after the Duanyang Festival, it is the provincial test.

There are many students who have not recovered from the celebration of the Duanyang Festival and put themselves into the provincial examination.

The provincial test is very different from the solution test. Not only the process of the test is different, but the difficulty of the test is also very different.Let's put it this way, the difficulty of solving the test is five points, so the difficulty of the provincial test is eight points.By analogy, the difficulty of the palace test is very high.The provincial examination takes five consecutive days. During these five days, students are not allowed to leave their own rooms, and they eat, drink and drink in their own narrow rooms.

Compared with solving the test, the test rules of the provincial test are much stricter.When taking the exam, the students of Taixue can take the exam in Taixue, but when they take the provincial exam, they have to go to the Gongyuan exam like other students.

Just like solving the exam, students of Taixue have an advantage when they take the provincial exam, that is, they don't have to go back to their hometown to take the exam, and they can take the exam directly in Bianjing City.

When taking the provincial exam, Zhao Yang obviously found that the atmosphere in Bianjing City had become different, and it was much more tense than the previous exam.Not only that, but the guards are also stricter than during the test.Also, the cheating check is more stringent than the solution test.

Zhao Yang also acted as an examiner once, and went to the Gongyuan to inspect.

He patrolled with Han Qi and the others.

When the examinees found that there was actually a child among the examiners today, they were stunned for a while, and then they realized that the child was His Royal Highness, and they all became very curious and excited at the same time.

Seeing the candidates staring at him curiously, Zhao Yang raised his smiling face and gave them a gentle smile.

His smile made the candidates even more excited.

After Zhao Yang finished laughing, he put on a straight face and said very seriously: "Candidates, please take the exam seriously."

As soon as he said this, the candidates immediately lowered their heads and continued the exam, not daring to look at him again.

Zhao Yang patrolled the examination room for a while and then came out.To be honest, the smell in the test room is really unappetizing, and the smell of feces and urine is smoky.

"Your Highness, do you want to go to the next exam room?" Han Qi just finished speaking, then remembered something, and said, "Your three friends are in the next exam room, do you want to go and see?"

Zhao Yang waved his hands and said, "Now is not the time to let them see me, or it will affect their exams." Thinking of how the candidates stared at him in amazement when he was making his rounds just now, he frowned and said, "I Continuing to patrol will also affect other candidates."

"Candidates are naturally very curious when they see His Highness for the first time." Han Qi smiled, "Especially His Highness is so good-looking." Han Qi dared to joke because he knew Zhao Yang well.

Zhao Yang touched his face, and said narcissistically, "I'm pretty, and it's normal for them to stare at me all the time."

Han Qi was amused by His Royal Highness's stinking words: "Your Highness is the prettiest."

Zhao Yang nodded seriously: "Of course." After finishing speaking, he stretched his waist, "Sir, I'm going back first, you can continue to patrol."

"Your Highness, I will send you off." Han Qi sent Zhao Yang to the gate of the Gong Yuan.

Zhao Yang got on the bullock cart and winked at Han Qi: "Sir, when the provincial test is over, I will send you a surprise."

Hearing that there was a surprise, Han Qi immediately said with bright eyes: "I am looking forward to it."

"Sir, go get busy, I'm going back to the palace."

"Slow down, Your Highness."

Before Zhao Yang returned to the palace, he suddenly remembered that Zheyun and the others had talked about rouge gouache before, so he thought about it and decided to go to the rouge gouache shop.

He didn't know much about rouge and gouache, so he asked the buddy to bring him the best selling one.

After buying rouge and gouache, he came out and saw a dirty looking man standing in front of the sesame seed shop, swallowing his saliva greedily.

Seeing the beggar in front of him staring eagerly at the biscuits on his stall, the shopkeeper waved to him in disgust: "If you don't buy it, just leave, don't stand in front of my shop."

"I...I..." The young man looked ashamed, but because his face was too dirty, it was hard to see that he was blushing.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yang went up to the store and said, "Boss, buy five pancakes."

"Five pieces of cake, right?" The shopkeeper wrapped up the five pieces of cake very quickly, "Young master, your cake."

After Zhao Yang took the cake, he caught up with the person who was drooling at the sesame cake just now.

"Big brother." Zhao Yang reached out and tugged at the young man's sleeve.

The young man looked down and found that it was a child with exquisite appearance and expensive clothes, and he couldn't help being stunned.

"Brother, are you hungry?" Zhao Yang handed the biscuits in front of the young man, "I treat you to some biscuits."

The young man was stunned: "Huh?"

Zhao Yang directly stuffed the sesame seed cakes into the hands of the young man, and gave him a sachet with some silver in it.

"Big brother, the biscuits won't taste good when they get cold, so hurry up and eat them." He said again, "I'll find you a place to stay with the money." After speaking, he took Chu Yue and left.

The young man didn't realize it for a while, and it took a long time for Zhao Yang and the others to realize it, and then he was surprised, happy and ashamed.He just forgot to ask the little brother's name and where he lives.When he has money, he must return the money to him, but where can he find someone when the time comes.
