Northern Song Dynasty: Starting from the son of Song Renzong

Chapter 115 It’s all because of his father’s indulgence!

This month is over.

When the weather got a little better, the war horses he had asked people to buy were also returned.

Zhao Xin immediately told Madam Miao, "Madam Miao, I'm six years old! I can ride a horse!"

Madam Miao just rolled her eyes at him and replied, "Don't tell me, tell your father."

Zhao Huirou has grown up now and has started to speak fluently.

Said: "Sister, can I also learn to ride a horse?"

Madam Miao said, "You can't."

Zhao Huirou: "Ah? Why?"

Madam Miao said, "Riding a horse is so dangerous! You'd better take the carriage!"

Zhao Huirou was unwilling to accept it and said, "Then why can I ride it when I am most excited?"

Zhao Xin replied: "Because I am a man, and I am not learning horse riding for fun. It is to be on duty better! You don't need to be on duty!"

Madam Miao also looked over and said, "How rude! You never called me Sister Huirou once."

Zhao Xin: “…”

Zhao Huirou also said: "Yes! You never called out once!"

Zhao Xin said: "I won't scream!"

Zhao Huirou: "Sister, spank him! He is not listening!"

Zhao Xin: “Humph!”

Then...

Zhao Xin gave Madam Miao a provocative look.

Madam Miao was so angry that her teeth were itching.

This child is becoming more and more disobedient!

Just as Madam Miao was about to move, Zhao Xin immediately jumped off the stool and ran away.

It really made Madam Miao feel a little bit helpless.

At the age of six, he has started to learn to run away and will no longer stand there stupidly waiting for you to hit him.

Then he said, "If you have nothing to do, read more books."

Zhao Xin replied: "I finally have a holiday, why should I read a book?"

Zhao Xin said he was six years old, but in fact, he was only four years and four months at most.

of course!

With his current size, he could actually learn to ride.

After all, he is now almost three feet four or three feet five tall.

afternoon……

He waited for his father to come over and then told him that he wanted to learn horse riding.

Perhaps because of the example of Cao Pi, his father did not object much.

He just said, "Then you have to be careful. When you learn to ride, you must first find a docile horse."

Zhao Xin said, "Don't worry, Daddy. I'm not a three-year-old child anymore!"

Zhao Zhen also wanted to complain, of course you are not a three-year-old child!

You have even set up a small court in the Lecture Hall.

Next…

I guess someone is going to start impeachment?
as predicted!

Just on the second day after the Zhonghe Festival, Wang Gongchen began to question Zhang Kang and Teng Zongliang.

Ask about the final outcome of the incident between Zhang Kang and Teng Zongliang.

This is because the results of the handling of the two have never been announced openly before.

nowadays……

Since Wang Gongchen has asked about it, let’s just announce the results directly.

All their official positions were directly stripped away. Afterwards, they were mainly responsible for pacifying the refugees in Xuchang and Nanyang, as well as reclaiming wasteland and building water conservancy projects.

When Wang Gongchen heard this, even he was a little surprised.

This……

There's no need to be so cruel!
This was the result of a discussion between Zhao Xin and Zhao Zhen. If they were not ruthless to Zhang Kang and Teng Zongliang now, then if they found similar cases of corruption in the future, would you still give them a lenient punishment? Wouldn't there be more corrupt officials in the future?

and……

Zhao Xin had long wanted to punish corrupt officials. It just so happened that through the cases of these two people, he could also serve as a warning to the remaining corrupt officials.

of course!

After thinking about it, Wang Gongchen seemed to have heard something fishy.

He asked, "From now on... Zhang Kang and Teng Zongliang will work under His Royal Highness Prince Yu?"

Zhao Zhen then asked in the court: "Why? Do you have any questions?"

Wang Gongchen said, "I think that you should not let these two corrupt officials stay with His Royal Highness Prince Yu. This will be detrimental to His Royal Highness Prince Yu's future."

Wang Gongchen was obviously not quite sure that these were the two people Zhao Xin wanted.

Or perhaps he didn't care at all whether Zhao Xin wanted it or not.

As the Chief Censor, this is his duty.

It can be said……

There is nothing wrong with him doing this.

Moreover, if he does this, no one else will say anything.

Zhao Xin was also speechless.

Is Wang Gongchen mentally ill?
Can't he see that he is the one protecting Zhang Kang and Teng Zongliang?

He stood up and said, "Father, now is the time when the court needs people."

Wang Gongchen also said: "Your Highness Prince Yu, even if the court wants to employ people, it cannot employ two people with a history of corruption. Moreover, during the investigation, Teng Zongliang deliberately burned the account books. This is completely against the law and contempt for the court's orders. Such people are even more unemployable."

Zhao Zhen then asked, "Is it not possible to let the two of them make amends for their crimes?"

Wang Gongchen said, "It's not impossible to make meritorious contributions while serving your sentence, but... from now on, these two people must be prohibited from interacting with His Royal Highness Prince Yu."

The whole place was eerily quiet.

What medicine did Wang Gongchen take wrong?

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that His Royal Highness Prince Yu wanted to protect those two people.

You just jump out and say that this is not okay.

I don’t know whether to say you are really smart or really stupid.

even……

Both felt that the other party was a bit too pretentious.

Young man, this is not the way you act high-profile!
But actually, this is not the first time.

Back then, in the eighth year of Tiansheng, Wang Gongchen took part in the palace examination and won the top spot. After the list was announced, he said that he did not want this top spot.

This was because he had already done the questions for the palace examination in advance, and he thought that if he became the top scorer in silence, he would be a dishonest person.

He had never told a lie since he was a child. He did not want to ruin his moral integrity in order to become the top scholar.

Isn't this just showing off?

You have won the top prize, and you are still pretending!

Besides, what’s wrong with you having done it before? Who doesn’t review the questions before taking an exam?
Speaking of which...

This Wang Gongchen also has a relationship with Li Qingzhao.

It is said that he was Li Qingzhao's great-grandfather.

It is said that some people also say it belongs to Wang Gui.

of course!

For someone like Zhao Xin who couldn't even remember Yan Shu, it would be even more impossible for him to know who Li Qingzhao's great-grandfather was.

Zhao Xin now feels that the censors of the Song Dynasty have too much power.

It's because of his father's indulgence!

Then he said, "Dad, don't worry. I will never be influenced by these two people. I will use their sinful bodies. Therefore, there is no need to worry that I will learn from them. On the contrary, seeing them makes me see their faults."

Zhao Zhen said: "That's it!"

But Wang Gongchen didn't seem to be ready to give up, and said directly: "If the emperor and His Royal Highness Prince Yu think that what I said is wrong, then it seems useless for me to stay in this court. I beg the emperor to give me a small county to govern. I will leave and there is no need to say anything more."

Everyone: "..."
