Northern Song Dynasty: Starting from the son of Song Renzong

Chapter 150 Be Prepared
In the sixth year of the Qingli period, New Year’s Eve.

Zhao Xin, who was about to turn nine, after much consideration, finally told everyone that he wanted to live outside.

Queen Cao and others were shocked.

The main thing is that the palace doesn’t lack a room for Zhao Xin to sleep in.

Then why does Zui Xinglai want to live outside?

Zhao Zhen was not surprised at all.

After all, she has to live with his concubine.

In fact, Zhao Zhen was relatively tolerant in choosing his concubine.

Perhaps, the buying and selling of concubines in our Song Dynasty is nothing new.

even……

Whoever spends money to buy a concubine for whom can become a good story.

It seems that this person is very generous to his friends and takes good care of them.

only……

You can't be so casual with your wife.

At least you should find someone from a decent family.

of course!

Zhao Zhen understood that if Zui Xinglai really wanted to find someone who was not decent, he probably wouldn't be able to stop him.

By the time……

Zui Xinglai will probably go through Xuanwu Gate to decide the matter himself.

sometimes……

Zhao Zhen discovered that he really doted on him too much, to the point that he could get everything except the stars in the sky.

When Zhao Xin proposed to live outside, the women were surprised.

Only Zhao Zhen sat there with a calm and composed look on his face.

Madam Miao asked, "Why do you want to live outside?"

Zhao Xin said, "Because sooner or later we will have to live outside."

Empress Cao then asked, "But isn't this too early?"

Zhao Xin said, "My Lady, I am already nine years old!"

When Empress Cao took a look, she found that it was indeed not small.

Madam Miao said, "I don't agree! What if something happens outside?"

Zhao Xin: "I'm not a three-year-old child. If something goes wrong, I can solve it myself."

Madam Miao looked at the official.

The official even defended the other party: "Zui Xinglai is not a child anymore, it's time for him to learn to be independent."

Madam Miao showed dissatisfaction on her face. "Official!"

Zhao Zhen was embarrassed for a moment, then said: "But you have to get Madam Miao's consent first."

Zhao Xin had no choice but to look at Madam Miao.

The other ladies didn't dare to say a word.

But on the surface, Madam Miao was very angry.

Wait until we return to Madam Miao’s courtyard.

Instead, she calmed down.

Asked: "Do you really want to move out?"

Zhao Xin saw that there was a chance, so he said, "Really!"

Madam Miao asked, "Are you not afraid of the spies from Xixia and Liao?"

Zhao Xin: "With Zhao Xun protecting me, I have nothing to be afraid of. Besides, it's not like I've been out for a while."

Madam Miao thought about it and it made sense. Even if you died, we still had Zhao Zongshi.

Why would the spies from Western Xia and Liao kill you for no reason?

Unless people already know that you can destroy the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms.

But when I say this, no one believes it.

How can a little kid like you accomplish something that your father and so many ministers couldn't do?

But Madam Miao still asked: "Are you hiding something from me?"

It turns out that women have a strong sixth sense!
Madam Miao felt that the government seemed to have known about it in advance.

Zhao Xin betrayed his father without hesitation, saying, "I have a concubine outside, and my father knows everything!"

Madam Miao's face changed: "What!!"

Madam Miao was so angry that she wanted to go back to her old ways.

to be frank!
She really hadn't spanked Zhao Xin for a long time.

no way!
The child is grown up now, you can't always beat him.

Zuixinglai’s height was almost reaching her chest.

I estimate that in another year or two, it will almost reach her shoulders.

Madam Miao: "Where did you get this concubine?" Zhao Xin: "I can buy one myself!"

Madam Miao was so angry that she stretched his face with both hands.

Zhao Xin said, "Don't worry, Madam Miao, I won't do anything bad!"

Madam Miao said, "You are so young, why do you want to keep a concubine?"

Zhao Xin said, "It's better to raise them yourself. I still have to teach them knowledge later."

Madam Miao: “…”

Is this how concubines are used?
Madam Miao: "What knowledge do you teach them?"

Zhao Xin: "Of course, I want to teach them to be like you, Madam Miao, well-educated, polite, gentle and generous..."

Of course, Madam Miao would not accept such flattering words.

I turned around and didn't want to listen to him.

As soon as Zhao Xin saw Madam Miao's reaction, he knew that she would definitely not object.

after all……

He is always one step faster than others.

He is one step faster than others when going to court, one step faster than others when leading troops, one step faster than others when going out to live, and even when keeping a concubine. For things like this, you can only get used to it!

only……

What she had to consider now was how she could tactfully tell Zuixing that she was still young and being a concubine was not suitable for her.

Madam Miao thought about it and finally decided to let Xiaodie tell him.

Even though she is his biological sister, I was too embarrassed to tell him.

Seeing that Madam Miao was silent, Zhao Xin also asked, "Madam Miao, do you agree?"

Madam Miao said, "Don't ask me, ask your father."

Zhao Xin said, "Then Dad will definitely agree!"

Madam Miao is well educated.

The princes in the Book of Tang, who went out to serve as provincial governors, were probably about this age.

only……

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but slap Zhao Xin's butt with his palm.

If we continue to spoil this child like this, he will definitely become lawless in the future!

Do not!
It is now that lawlessness has begun.

Madam Miao didn't ask about other things. Anyway... he had his own ideas since he was young, so there was no need to ask.

Find an opportunity, let Xiaodie go and take a look, and then come back and tell her.

the next day……

Zhao Xin did not return to the palace that night.

When the concubine asked him, "It's not the first day of the new year? Why isn't the young master at home?"

Zhao Xin said, it doesn't matter, he has nothing to do at home anyway.

He really had nothing to do in the palace.

He is a person who cannot spare a moment!

Immediately afterwards...

They have to start changing their three views.

If one day I were to die in battle, my son would have to be handed over to them to teach.

Of course!
There was no way Zhao Xin would let himself die in battle so easily.

only……

Isn't this a way to be prepared?

But let’s be honest, where should I start?

If it were an ordinary person, he might have started with loyalty and filial piety.

But the problem is...

This thing seems to be of no use in the Song Dynasty.

Speaking of which...

Is there loyalty and filial piety in the Song Dynasty?

The Tang Dynasty books do have many records about the role of loyalty and filial piety.

The Song Dynasty doesn't value loyalty and filial piety! But that doesn't seem right, because the adults in this family seem to attach great importance to it and want their children to be filial.

It’s just this loyalty...

It might have been lost by those scholars and officials a long time ago.

I got in through an exam, not through loyalty.

Not to mention the soldiers in the army.

The amount of money we give represents our loyalty to the government.
