Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

On this day, Zhao Ning took a group of people out hunting.

Accompanying him were not only important ministers, but also the prince.

The crowd arrived at the royal garden in the east of the city.

Zhao Ning summoned Rou Jia, the third prince Zhao Jin, and the fourth prince Zhao Yu, and said, "Which one of you will gain the most from hunting today, Daddy will give you a lot of rewards."

"What's the reward?" Third Prince Zhao Jin asked.

"What do you want?" Zhao Ning was obviously in a good mood. He suddenly realized that he had been busy with state affairs these years and rarely took his baby out for a stroll, so he felt somewhat guilty.

"I want the crown prince."

As soon as Zhao Jin said this, the expressions of the surrounding officials changed drastically, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

But Zhao Jin looked sincere and yearning.

Zhao Ning was not angry, his own son wanted the crown prince, so why should he be angry?

The expressions of the ministers changed drastically because the third prince was too frank and spoke out such a sensitive issue in public.

Especially Qin Hui in the crowd, his heart trembled suddenly.

He bet all his treasures on the third prince.

Qin Hui thought to himself, third prince, don't try to die like Zhao Chen!

Zhao Ning touched Zhao Jin's little head and laughed loudly: "Why do you want the crown prince?"

"Because I want to become a wise monarch like Daddy."

"Then do you know that being a wise monarch is very hard work?"

"I know."

"You know?" Zhao Ning became more curious, and he asked seriously, "Then tell me."

Zhao Jin said: "The way of being a king is the way of employing people. The way of employing people is ever-changing and eclectic. Anyone who can benefit our Song Dynasty can be used by the court."

Zhao Ning was stunned, looked around, and asked the ministers, as well as Luo Congyan, the teacher of several princes: "Who taught you this?"

The butchers fell silent.

"I didn't expect you to be able to realize this at such a young age." Zhao Ning was overjoyed, "But the crown prince is the foundation of the country and cannot be used as a hunting prize at will. Daddy can't agree to your request, but it doesn't mean that daddy rejected your prince. request, you can make another request."

"That kid wants to take up some official positions in the household department, is that okay?"

"Why?"

"I want to learn and learn."

Zhao Ning was even more surprised. This is what a nine-year-old child said, which is really interesting.

Zhao Jin's behavior is very well-behaved on weekdays, but what he said today seems to be out of line.

It seemed that he seized this opportunity and did it intentionally in public.

"Okay, I promise you."

The hunting started quickly, and the emperor led the ministers to hunt together. On the way, Zhao Ning suddenly asked Zhao Ding: "Master, what do you think of the third prince?"

"The third prince usually respects his teachers, is approachable, self-restraint and respects etiquette, but he is a little taciturn, lacking the activity of the fourth prince and the innocence of the fifth prince." Zhao Ding said, "Even if we play with them, we behave well. "

Bottom line: This kid has a lot on his mind.

Zhao Ning suddenly realized a problem.

In fact, he hasn't paid much attention to the daily life in the harem these years.

Usually they just pull up their pants and leave.

Empress Zhu Lian has the status of empress and has a prominent position. Qian Jinshu's elder brother is the prime minister of the court.

Only Zhao Jin's mother, Concubine Shen De, was relatively weak among them.

Once a woman is in this environment for a long time, she has high demands on her children.

Once a child is highly demanded by his mother, it is easy to lose the joy of childhood.

Generally, the prey in the royal gardens are relatively mild. After the hunting, everyone put out the trophies one after another.

Joo Chia hunted a deer and a rabbit.

Zhao Jin actually hunted two deer and three rabbits.

But Zhao Yu was even more arrogant. He hunted two deer, five birds, and six rabbits.

Zhao Chun, on the other hand, did not participate because he was only six years old. Instead, he did geometry and physics problems in the tent, writing with gusto.

"It seems that Yu'er has won." Zhao Ning looked at Zhao Yu and asked, "What do you want?"

"My boy wants Daddy to give me a good bow!"

"Oh, why do you want a bow?"

"My boy wants to pull a three-hundred-jin bow like Yue Pengju!"

"Okay, I have a precious bow with me. Although it doesn't have three hundred catties, it still has 150 catties. I give it to you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the hunting was over, Zhao Ning held a banquet in the royal garden and entertained the ministers in charge.

At the banquet, the monarch and his ministers enjoyed themselves happily.

Zhao Ning called Zhao Gou and said, "Why isn't brother Jiu drinking alcohol today?"

"I've been feeling unwell recently, so I'm not competent."

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"Maybe it's the wind and heat, but it's much better today, I can't drink with the official's house anymore."

"So that's why you are infected with wind-heat, why didn't you tell me, I will send the imperial physician to treat you."

"The officials are worried about state affairs, so how dare the ministers disturb the officials, it doesn't matter, it's already much better."

Zhao Ning immediately ordered someone to heat up a bowl of mutton soup for Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou got closer and said, "The official, I have something in my heart, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"But it doesn't matter."

"The crown prince is the crown prince, which is related to the foundation of the country. Now the crown prince should indeed be established."

"Who do you think should be established?" Zhao Ning asked.

"I don't know who to appoint, I just remind the officials to establish a prince as soon as possible, so that they can be trained early."

Zhao Ning did not comment.

It seems that Zhao Jin's attitude when he made the request just now made some people see that he did not evade the crown prince.

For example, Zhao Gou must have been observing in his heart who will be established as the prince.

Zhao Ning glanced around without a trace. Although the officials were drinking and drinking, they must also be thinking about who will be crowned prince.

After all, the position of crown prince and crown prince is very important, and it is related to the future structure of the court.

In history, there are many people who were prosperous in the dynasty, but because of bad relationship with the prince, the emperor of the dynasty died, and was quickly killed by the next emperor, causing their families to be ruined.

There are countless examples of this.

There are also many people who were not well-known in the dynasty, but became princelings. Once the prince ascended the throne, that person would rise to the top in an instant, become the prime minister, and hold the power of the state.

Therefore, he has always been extremely sensitive about Li Chujun.

In the Li Tang Dynasty, it was because of the prince that there were bloodbaths in each of his successive appointments.

The battle for the crown prince in the Song Dynasty was much milder, but it still caused undercurrents in the court.

The reason why Zhao Ning did not establish a crown prince was because he didn't want to cause brotherhood because of the crown prince, and he didn't want the court to set up another faction because of the crown prince.

Zhao Chen is the best example.

The princes are young, once they become princes, there are bound to be countless people who will flatter them both openly and secretly, but their minds are immature, and when the current situation is changing, it is easy to be deceived by people's rumors.

This kind of thing is impossible to prevent.

Could it be that he is dissatisfied at that time and abolishes another prince?

Zhao Ning raised his wine glass, drank it down, and said to Zhao Gou, "You must take care of yourself as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Zhao Gou was moved by Zhao Guanjia's words. What did Zhao Guanjia mean by these words?

Why did you start urging yourself to take care of your body as soon as possible?

"Go and call Qin Hui over."

Zhao Gou stood up, went to Qin Hui's side, and said, "The official has called you to do something."

Qin Hui immediately showed a flattered look, first nodded and bowed to Zhao Gou, and then hurried to the front of Yujia with small steps.

"What's the matter with the official calling the minister?"

"Qin Xianggong, you said that after the peace talks between the Song and Jin Dynasties, the border trade between the two countries will be fully liberalized, and the Han people in the land of Yanyun will be willing to return to our dynasty?"

Qin Hui said, "Maybe I don't want to."

"how do I say this?"

"Northern people are used to living in Yanyun. They have lived there for generations. After moving south, how can they move south without even an inch of land?"

Zhao Ning glanced at Zhao Gou and asked, "What does King Kang think?"

"I think what Qin Xianggong said makes sense."

Zhao Ning continued to ask: "How can we make the people there come back willingly?"

Qin Hui said, "Give me the land."

"Give me the land?"

"Yes, as long as you return to Song Dynasty, each household will be allocated 50 mu of land."

Zhao Ning asked again: "Where does the earth come from?"

"The imperial court probably still has some fields that haven't been rented out." Qin Hui said, "It can be used reasonably."

"However, by doing this, we are clearly stealing people from the Kingdom of Jin." Zhao Gou said, "Will it break the contract between the two countries?"

"The contract between the two countries does not stipulate that the people of the other party cannot move freely." Zhao Ning said, "I don't recognize those that are not written on paper."

"Qin Hui, go to the Ministry of Households to check, take out all the extra fields from the royal family, and send the news to Yanyun."

"Yes."

"Also, take a trip to Dengzhou Port. As an important place connecting Liaodong, Dengzhou Port needs to expand commercial goods. Now that the Song and Jin Dynasties have lifted the ban, there will be a large number of private merchants going to Dengzhou to do business in Liaodong. Guaranteed passage."

"Yes." Qin Hui replied.

Immediately, Qin Hui said again: "The officials and ministers have something to say, and I don't know whether to say it or not."

Zhao Guan's house was filled with wine, he drank a glass with Qin Hui, and said, "Your Majesty, it's okay to say."

"Now that the two countries have ceased fighting, Liaodong is alone overseas. I am worried...Of course, Han Shizhong is loyal to His Majesty, but I am very worried about whether other people in Liaodong will hold their own troops."

Zhao Ning pretended to hesitate, and then said: "After you go to Dengzhou, go to Liaodong again, and greet Liaodong soldiers for me."

"Yes." Qin Hui replied softly.

The banquet ended happily.

On the way back to Beijing, Zhao Ning summoned Zhang Jun and said, "Wu Lin has been in Annan for several years. I was thinking that he should miss his hometown very much. How about letting him come back?"

"The officials are sympathetic to the ministers, and the ministers also feel that Wu Lin should be transferred back. Wu Lin is a general. Annan has rectified for several years. Now there is no major issue. It is really wasteful to keep Wu Lin in Annan."

"Then according to Qing's wishes, call Wu Lin back, and I want to see him in person."

"Yes."

After returning to Beijing, it was already evening, Zhao Ning asked everyone to go home first.

Kang Wang and Qin Hui walked alone for a while.
