The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

Zhao Yang took Su Shi and the others to play happily for most of the day, and the game didn't end until Haishi.

"Brother Shen, A Shi, A Zhe, there is something I want to tell you." In two months, the imperial examination will be held, and his vest will be dropped by then.On the day when the palace examination results were announced, he, the crown prince, was going to show up, and Su Shi and the others would be able to see him then.

Seeing Zhao Yang's serious expression, Su Shi and the others couldn't help but tremble: "Fu Hui, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhao Yang looked at Su Zhe and the others, hesitated for a while and said, "If you find out that I have something to hide from you, will you be angry?"

Shen Kuo and the others who asked this question were full of doubts: "Fu Hui, what are you hiding from us?"

"It's a very important thing." In the past four years, Zhao Yang and Su Shi had played very well, and he really regarded them as good friends. He didn't want to lose their three friends because of his real identity. "Are you going to be angry?"

Su Shi was the first to react, and he smiled reassuringly at Zhao Yang.

"Fuhui, no matter what you have kept from us, you are our good friend and brother." Fuhui should be talking about his background.During lunch, the kid Fuhui accidentally exposed his identity, but the kid didn't realize it.

Su Zhe and Shen Kuo nodded in agreement: "Fuhui, you will always be our good friend and brother." In the past four years, Su Zhe and the others have long regarded Zhao Yang as their own younger brother.

Hearing what Su Shi and the others said, Zhao Yang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "If you knew what I was hiding, would you not want me as a friend?"

Su Shi raised his hand and patted Zhao Yang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "No, you will always be our good friend and brother."

"really?"

Su Zhe and the others said in unison: "Really!"

"Then you can't distance yourself from me in the future."

"will not."

"Whatever you say?" Zhao Yang stretched out his little finger, "Let's pull the hook."

Su Shi smiled dotingly and said, "Okay, let's pull the hook."

The three of them, Zhao Yang and Shen Kuo, pulled the hook one by one.

"If you are alienated from me in the future, I will not spare you."

Listening to Zhao Yang's fierce words, Shen Kuo and the others only thought he was very cute.

"If we alienate you, we're puppies."

"I'll spank your ass again then."

"Fuhui, we won't let you spank our ass."

"That's what you said."

"We said so."

Zhao Yang was completely relieved now: "I hope you won't be scared by me that day."

"Fuhui, we won't be scared by you." The child Fuhui thought they didn't know his real identity.

Su Zhe said, "We are not timid."

"Fuhui, don't worry, we won't blame you."

Hearing what Su Shi and the others said so firmly, Zhao Yang suddenly thought of a prank.Waiting until the day when he will be passed on in front of the palace, I am looking forward to seeing his expression.

"Hearing you say that makes me feel at ease."

Su Shi couldn't hold back, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to protect Zhao Yang, and patted him on the back lightly.

"Fuhui, you will always be our good friend."

After a while, Su Shi was pulled away by Su Zhe, and then Zhao Yang was hugged by Su Zhe.

Seeing this, Shen Kuo pulled Su Zhe away again, and stretched out his hand to hug Zhao Yang into his arms.

After Zhao Yang and Su Shi arrived, they went to Cao's house.

Now it is Haishi, it is impossible to go back to the palace, so I can only go to Cao's house.

"Your Highness, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Cao Ban's serious expression, Zhao Yang's heart sank involuntarily: "What is it?"

"About Di Qing."

Zhao Yang was startled: "What happened to Di Qing?"

"There is no accident yet, but it is about to happen." Cao Ban continued, "Not long ago, Di Qing made another contribution, and the officials will reward him again, and he will be promoted at that time. By that time, he will definitely be squeezed out by civil officials. .”

In fact, in history, Di Qing should have served as a privy envoy several years ago.He was squeezed out by civil servants because he had served as a privy envoy.

Zhao Yang was worried that Di Qing would be appointed as a privy envoy and would be bullied by civil servants, so a few years ago, when Di Qing made meritorious service, Song Renzong wanted to appoint him as a privy envoy, but he opposed it.Therefore, in the past few years, Di Qing has been the magistrate of the state.

"Your Highness, in order to protect Di Qing, you opposed the official's promotion of him as a privy envoy, but Di Qing has made meritorious service again, so you can't object again this time." Cao Ban said, "If you oppose his promotion again, you will be cold." broke his heart."

Zhao Yang said helplessly: "He has made great achievements, so he should be promoted. If he opposes his promotion this time, I'm afraid he will resent me, the crown prince." After finishing speaking, he sighed slightly Said, "I will not prevent him from being promoted this time." In history, Di Qing also served as a privy envoy for several years before being dismissed from office, and then died in depression.

"Your Highness, do you need me to send someone to contact Di Qing and tell him to beware of civil servants?"

Zhao Yang thought for a while and said, "Okay, but we have to wait until he gets promoted."

"Yes."

"Di Qing has been on the border all year round, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, and he doesn't understand the intrigues of the court. We must tell him these things clearly, and let him understand that as a general, he will be squeezed out by the civil servants, and even by the civil servants. Suppress and frame him, and let him be mentally prepared." Zhao Yang worried that Di Qing was good at fighting, but he had no brains in political affairs.Di Qing in history was probably like this too, that's why he was bullied so badly by civil servants.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will send someone to explain to him clearly." Cao Ban thought for a while and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to tell Di Qing about you?"

Zhao Yang rubbed his chin and said, "Tell him, so that he will believe it." Just after he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and said, "He is very likely to be a privy envoy this time, and he will be transferred at that time. Go to Bianjing, tell him not to associate with any family of generals."

"Di Qing should be very clear about this."

"He has just been transferred back to Bianjing, and he is also serving as a privy envoy. The family of military generals must want to win him over. I am afraid that he will be confused for a while, and foolishly associate with other families of generals. In this way, he will be even more feared by civil servants." Zhao said. Yang tapped the table with his index finger, and said rather helplessly, "In fact, it is not a good thing to transfer him back to Bianjing. He should continue to guard the border."

"What Your Highness said is that if he is transferred back to Bianjing, he will only be bullied by civil servants." Di Qing, a general who plays tricks, is definitely not an opponent of civil servants.

"I can't help him on the surface, but in private, I will let my father let him go back to the border as soon as possible." Di Qing is a famous general, and his responsibility is to protect the border and protect the people.His value is also there.Transferred to Bianjing, he was either corrupted by power, or played to death by civil servants. "I hope he will be an obedient person, otherwise even I won't be able to save him."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will tell him what you said in detail. I think he is not an idiot and will understand your painstaking efforts."

"I hope." Di Qing was a rare general, and Zhao Yang didn't want to lose him.

After talking about Di Qing, Zhao Yang went to rest.

At dawn the next day, he got up and hurried to the palace to go to court.

On the way to court, they met Han Qi and Bao Zheng again.

Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu went to court earlier, so Zhao Yang didn't meet them these two times.

"Sir, I have something to tell you."

"whats the matter?"

"About Di Qing, we will inform him of his meritorious deeds again this morning, and this time Dad will definitely let him be promoted."

"Your Highness, do you not want Di Qing to be promoted?"

Zhao Yang waved his hand: "That's not true. After Di Qing's promotion this time, he will definitely be transferred to Bianjing."

Bao Zheng asked with a puzzled face: "Your Highness, what do you mean..."

"Di Qing has made a lot of contributions on the border, and he is likely to be appointed as a privy envoy this time."

When Han Qi and Bao Zheng heard this, they were both very surprised: "Privy envoy?"

"Well, there is a great possibility." Zhao Yang's expression became worried when he said this, "He, a general, was appointed as a privy envoy. Do you know what it means?"

Han Qi and Bao Zheng naturally knew, and they also understood what Zhao Yang meant.

"Most of the ministers in the court exclude generals. He is a general from the border. He is no match for the ministers in the court." Zhao Yang looked at Bao Zheng and Han Qi and said, "I want you to protect him well. Absolutely nothing will happen to him." Di Qing in history was bullied to death by ministers headed by Han Qi.Fortunately, Han Qi in this life, under his influence, did not have the mentality of oppressing generals.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will definitely protect General Di Qing."

"By the way, you can hang out with him more." With Bao Zheng and Han Qi by Di Qing's side, Zhao Yang felt at ease.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zheyun sent the court clothes to Funing Palace early, and Zhao Yang went directly to Funing Palace to change the court clothes as soon as he entered the palace.

When Song Renzong saw that he was back, he told him about Di Qing's meritorious service again, and said that Di Qing could no longer be prevented from being promoted this time.

"Daddy, what do you want Di Qing to do?"

"The Privy Envoy, based on his merits, it is most appropriate for him to be appointed as the Privy Envoy." In fact, a few years ago, Song Renzong wanted Di Qing to be appointed as the Privy Envoy.However, Zhao Yang stopped him at that time.

"Then transfer him to Bianjing, right?"

"Yes, you object to him coming to Bianjing?" Song Renzong said, "He was appointed as a privy envoy, so he should return to Bianjing."

"Daddy, let him go back to the border after a while." Zhao Yang said with a deep expression on his face, "Di Qing should guard the border to protect the people. Once he returns to Bianjing, he will be like a sea with its wings broken. "The sea in his mouth is the sea dongqing he picked up during spring hunting.

"I know, I won't let him stay in Bianjing for a long time, after all Bianjing needs his protection."

Hearing what his father said, Zhao Yang felt relieved.

Song Renzong raised his hand and patted Zhao Yang's shoulder, and said softly, "Go to court."

"it is good."

At the beginning of the early dynasty, it was said that Di Qing had made meritorious service again, and Song Renzong decreed that Di Qing should be promoted as a privy envoy.

Of course, the ministers objected to this decree, but it was useless to oppose it.

Seeing that Song Renzong insisted on appointing Di Qing as the privy envoy, the ministers asked Song Renzong to transfer Di Qing from the border back to Bianjing.As a privy envoy, he cannot continue to be a general at the border.

Song Renzong had long expected that the ministers would have this request, so he agreed to let Di Qing come to Bianjing.

Han Qi and Bao Zheng glanced at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes, but they did not expect to be caught by His Royal Highness.

A few days later, Di Qing, who was far away on the border, received his order to be promoted to a privy envoy, and at the same time, an order to let him come to Bianjing.

Before he left for Bianjing, Cao Ban sent someone to find him and told him what Zhao Yang said before.
