Chapter 5 The Prince's Happy Life

When a baby girl in the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Jin cried for the first time in her life, on the West Lake in Lin'an Mansion of the Song Dynasty, His Royal Highness King Zhao Guicheng of the Song Dynasty was sitting lazily on a painting boat, holding a fishing rod.

As he fished by the lake, he didn't know that his daughter was born at this moment.

It was already 1219 AD, the summer of the twelfth year of Jiading in the Song Dynasty. Ten months passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Yang Kang did nothing. He did not plan to become the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and he did not think about fighting for hegemony.

Wulin just lived such a lazy life, living a happy life like the king of Song Dynasty.

After returning from Kaifeng Imperial City, he felt tired and wanted to have a good rest. Jiangnan is undoubtedly a good place for self-cultivation. The prosperity of Lin'an Imperial City, the singing and dancing of the Song Dynasty royal family, this kind of laziness

The atmosphere made him intoxicated. If he was a cheetah before, always alert to the dangers around him and fighting desperately for his own survival, then now he is a crouching tiger, with its claws restrained, looking harmless to humans and animals.

appearance.

Yang Kang'an remained the prince of Song Dynasty, had his own fiefdom and mansion, and lived a leisurely and contented life. He took Zhao Guicheng's mother Quanshi and his younger brother to Lin'an Mansion, and let his younger brother Zhao Yurui enter the Imperial Academy.

Finally feeling a little more at ease, he liked to go boating on the West Lake, just in a daze, not thinking about anything.

This world is so pure!

His Highness King Yi thought so. After being away from the intrigues and killings, he returned to the state of an ordinary person, which made him feel comfortable. Not far next to him, a girl was reading a book seriously. She wore a pair of this

Glasses, which were rare in that era, allowed her to see the writing on the book clearly. Although her eye disease was cured, the side effect of myopia remained.

Yang Kang found a craftsman to make this pair of glasses. The glasses had already taken shape in this era, but not many people used them and they did not become popular. Firstly, there were few people who were short-sighted. Secondly, the image was not very elegant. This era focused on etiquette.

When talking, you should look at the other person squarely. Wearing glasses will be considered disrespectful.

In the cabin, Xie Yili and Lou Shidao were playing chess. Talented scholar Xie was very proud of himself. One year later, he was promoted from the seventh-rank editor of the Hanlin Academy to the fifth-rank assistant lecturer. The main responsibility of this official position was to recite scriptures for the emperor.

Although he did not have much power as a historian and explained the meaning of the scriptures, he had direct access to the emperor and had great potential.

The Hanlin Academy was considered a training course for prime ministers. Xie Yili was deeply appreciated by Emperor Zhao Kuo, and he dreamed that one day he would become the prime minister of the Song Dynasty like his grandfather Xie Shenfu, and he would honor his ancestors.

The staff member played chess to give face to the classmate. He did not know that the junior staff member opposite him was once the prime minister of the Kingdom of Jin.

Lou Shidao followed Yang Kang and left the Kingdom of Jin. He was responsible for sending Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo to Guangmingding in the Western Region, and also dealt with some Mingjiao affairs. This round trip took five or six months. After he came back, he was invisible in

In Prince Yi's palace, he transformed into a teacher and was responsible for Prince Yi's daily studies.

He looked at the appearance of His Majesty the Emperor, feeling a little worried in his heart. The incident in the Kingdom of Jin was undoubtedly a serious blow to His Majesty the Emperor. Lou Shidao vaguely felt that Yelu Chucai's plan before his death might not be to get rid of His Majesty the Emperor, but a

The teacher's teachings to the students are just like Yelu Chucai taught the child of Prince Zhao's palace. As long as that child passes various tests, he can become a king.

But these tests are really cruel, and each one points directly at the human heart. Once it can't stand it, it will become decadent and depressed, and it will be impossible to recover. At this time, His Majesty the Emperor has already shown signs of this. He is used to this kind of lazy life, Tiger

If you are locked up for a long time, you will turn into a kitten, and you will never be able to be proud of the mountains and forests again.

After a game of chess, Lou Shidao walked to the deck of the boat and came to His Majesty the Emperor. He looked at him squinting at the sky. The fishhook was floating in the lake. The fish had already caught it.

The bait was eaten, but His Majesty the Emperor did not notice it and was just in a daze.

"Your Majesty, how was the harvest?" Lou Shidao asked casually.

"Forty-six fish have bitten the hook, but unfortunately the bait was eaten by the first fish, but the remaining forty-five fish still want to bite and give it a try. Do you think these fish are stupid?" Yang Kang said lazily.

Said, "When I see a fishhook, I always want to bite it. Is this greed or curiosity and adventure?"

"It's just to find food!" Lou Shidao said lightly.

"Yes, people are just like fish. They live to eat. They will do anything to eat. If you want to eat well and eat well, you have to keep trying and taking risks." His Highness King Yi sighed and stood up.

He showed a gentle smile and asked, "Mr. Lou, which fish do you want to eat?"

"Of course it's the one who's willing to take the bait." Lou Shidao said with a smile.

"Whether it is willing to take the bait or not, I can catch it." His Highness King Yi said with the surname Hao Dafa.

He flicked the fishing rod, and the fishing line drew a half arc in the air and fell into the water. The fishhook just came in front of a fish. His Highness King Yi raised his hand, and the fish was hooked out of the water and fell to the deck.

Above it, jumping around on the deck, waiting for it is the fate of becoming food.

"My lord, you are cheating." Lou Shidao said with a bitter smile.

It is naturally not difficult for His Majesty the Emperor to use martial arts to fish, but being able to control the strength of fishing lines and hooks so accurately, the Guangming Zuo Envoy knew that His Majesty the Emperor's martial arts had improved a lot. Since he practiced the "Nine Yang Manual"

The old illness in his body has been cured and his martial arts have improved greatly, but he knows that compared with His Majesty the Emperor, he is still far behind. Lou Shidao even feels that His Majesty the Emperor may have reached the level of a peerless master.

"Really?" Yang Kang chuckled, "I have never followed the rules, but I am the one who makes them."

The girl who had been reading raised her head and looked at His Highness King Yi who was saying this. This sentence was not arrogant, but the girl thought it was natural. The young man in the sun really had the ability to control the world and make rules.

The momentum may be from the past, or it may be from the future.

"Stop looking, pack up and make fish soup." Yang Kang urged.

The girl was stunned for a moment. She was still immersed in her imagination. It took her a while to react. She took off her glasses, got up, picked up the fish on the deck, walked towards the cabin, took out the stove and started cooking.

, her movements were slow but methodical. After a while, a rich aroma came to her nostrils, and a pot of fish soup was ready.
