That night, Zhao Xu had dinner and was about to go for a walk in the garden to eat.
Feng Jing came to inform: "Your Highness, Lao Zongyuan, the empress dowager of Baoci Palace, has come according to the order of the empress!"
"Old Zongyuan?" Zhao Xu smiled.
This is an acquaintance!
This person was the only minister in Zhao Xu's palace in his previous life.
After Zhao Xu took charge, he was demoted from the capital.
The reason why I didn't take his life was just because I remembered the relationship I had spent with him day and night for nine years.
Otherwise, the stick will be light!
"Invite him to come in and talk!" Zhao Xu kept smiling.
"yes!"
After a while, a thin, fair-skinned minister, about thirty years old, was brought to Zhao Xu.
"Your Majesty, Hou Zongyuan of the Empress Dowager's Palace wishes to ask if the Prince of Yan'an is well!"
Zhao Xu nodded and said: "I'm fine!" Then, he sat up straight and looked at this acquaintance from his previous life. As a result, Zhao Xu found that even Lao Zongyuan, who had been with him day and night for nearly nine years,
He had almost forgotten the appearance of the other party.
He sighed twice in his heart, and then asked: "My mother-in-law has sent me to wait for you. Do you have any wishes?"
Lao Zongyuan lowered his head and replied: "The empress feels that Your Highness is pure and filial, so she ordered me to give His Highness a plaything..."
As he spoke, he took out a gift list from his arms.
Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "I appreciate your mother's kindness!"
"However, when I am studying, I cannot lose my ambition by playing with things! Please tell my mother-in-law, "Sun Chen is so grateful that my mother is so kind. However, I am determined to study. If my mother-in-law can give me a gift, please give me the saint's scriptures!"
After saying that, Zhao Xu waved to Feng Jing: "Feng Jing, please send me out of the palace!"
In my previous life, I lurked in the shadow of Empress Dowager Gao and studied for nine full years.
Does Zhao Xu still know what kind of medicine Queen Mother Gao is selling in this gourd?
How could he not know what he should say to make Empress Dowager Gao happy?
…
Lao Zongyuan returned to Baoci Palace, met with Empress Dowager Gao, and told Empress Dowager Gao what happened in Qingning Palace.
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Gao was silent for a moment and then said: "Is it true that God blessed the Song Dynasty?"
So far, Sixth Brother has shown to be filial, smart, sensible, and studious in front of her.
He is almost the perfect grandson in her mind.
So, he called Liang Weijian to her and asked in a low voice: "I heard that your wife is good at female work?"
Liang Weijian bowed his head and replied: "A lowly person with rough skills is not worthy of being in the eyes of the empress!"
"Let her secretly sew a children's uniform in case of emergency!" Empress Dowager Gao ordered.
Liang Weijian raised his head, a little surprised, and then quickly lowered his head: "I understand!"
Then, Empress Dowager Gao said to Lao Zongyuan: "Since Sixth Brother loves reading, you will go to Hanlin Academy tomorrow and order a secretary from the Academy to read the meaning of the Spring and Autumn Annals and send them to Qingning Palace for Sixth Brother to study!
"
Wang Anshi praised Mencius and advocated "one morality and the same customs", and criticized the Spring and Autumn Annals as a report of the end of the dynasty.
Empress Dowager Gao went in the opposite direction and granted Chunqiu and the prince.
…
The next day, Zhao Xu got up as usual, finished washing and was about to have breakfast.
Lao Zongyuan came again, and he also brought a book given by Empress Dowager Gao.
"Spring and Autumn".
Zhao Xu ordered Feng Jing to put the Spring and Autumn Annals given by Empress Dowager Gao on his desk in front of Lao Zongyuan, saying that he would study it seriously.
After Lao Zongyuan left, Zhao Xu walked to the bookcase and looked at the brand-new books.
"My mother-in-law is indeed my mother-in-law!"
However, Zhao Xu will read these books carefully.
Not only can he read carefully, but he can also take notes. Not only can he take notes, but he can also write down his thoughts after reading.
After writing it, he would also order it to be sent to Baoci Palace for Empress Dowager Gao to read.
In my previous life, I was your king for fifteen years and studied abroad for ten more years.
Zhao Xu already knows that things are for people to see.
Just like etiquette, it is for the living to see, not for the dead.
He asked Feng Jing to bring a chair, and he sat on it, leaning against the back of the chair with his thin and small body, which was somewhat funny.
But he was still sitting, upright.
Then, I picked up a copy of Spring and Autumn and started reading.
Speaking of which, it is strange that Zhao Xu has not coughed for a long time since he woke up in Qingning Palace and returned to his youth.
It may be related to the fact that Zhao Xu only drinks filtered boiled water, or it may be related to his regular schedule.
No matter what, his body is indeed in better shape than in his previous life.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu said to Feng Jing: "Feng Jing, go to the imperial doctor's bureau for me and say hello, and ask the imperial doctor Qian Yi to come to the palace tomorrow to diagnose my pulse!"
After thinking for a while, Zhao Xu added: "I will tell the Imperial Medical Bureau again: From now on, Imperial Physician Qian Yi will come to the palace every five days to diagnose my pulse!"
This is the experience Zhao Xu learned in modern times.
If you want to be in good health, regular physical examinations are essential.
Nowadays, without those modern instruments, Qian Yi can only work hard.
Checking the pulse once every five days should be able to nip the disease in the bud.
In this way, those who are good at fighting do not need great achievements!
…
In the afternoon of that day, Empress Dowager Gao remembered that she had given the Spring and Autumn Annals to Qingning Palace, so she asked Liu Weijian to ask.
Liu Weijian naturally did not dare to hide it.
"Brother Six is really studying?" Empress Dowager Gao was immediately surprised after hearing Liang Weijian's report.
Although it is not news that the princes of the Song Dynasty loved reading.
But how old is Brother Six?
An eight-year-old child!
Do the other children know that they need to study at such a young age? Even if they know that they need to study, do they have the self-discipline?
This sixth brother is too sensible and well-behaved!
Liang Weijian lowered his head and replied: "I am telling you that everyone in the Qingning Palace said that after the Prince of Yan'an County got up early today, he copied Buddhist scriptures for everyone, and then read the scriptures given by the Queen. He also told people: Taimu
You gave me the scriptures because of your great love, but I am young and stupid, and there are many things I don’t understand. I am really ashamed, and I fear that I have betrayed my great mother’s love!”
Liang Weijian knows these things, and he won't say what others will say.
In this world, there are many people who are willing to make a name for the emperor who lives deep in Qingning Palace!
Moreover, Liang Weijian also understood that if he concealed a word about this matter, he would be found out.
That is a great sin!
The kind that kills the whole family!
He will also give people authority. As long as the scholar-bureaucrats in the outer dynasties hear a little bit of news, they will make a fuss about it - see, we have all said that people from eunuchs are not worthy of trust, right?!
"That's it..." Queen Mother Gao was pleased in her heart.
It's not just because Sixth Brother is sensible.
Even more because of Sixth Brother’s respect for her!
Sixth brother is really reading the scriptures she gave him!
This kind of respect and this kind of attitude made Empress Dowager Gao very useful and very satisfied.
"The official family is so lucky!" Empress Dowager Gao said, "I am very lucky to have such a wonderful grandson!"
Liang Weijian, who was beside Empress Dowager Gao, lowered his head deeply. He knew it was time to make a bet!
…
Note: Zhihou, respectful wait, means submission. A long continuation of Zi Zhi Tongjian records: "...Liang Weijian was also the Zhihou of the Empress Dowager Hall, and Lao Zongyuan was also the Zhihou of the Emperor's Palace." It was recorded in the secret note on April 8th.
Note 2: Volume 351 of the Continuation of Zizhi Tongjian records: Shenzong was dying, and later he pardoned Liang Weijian: He ordered your wife to make a yellow robe, so that a ten-year-old child can wear it, and she has been pregnant since then.
