Hearing that Queen Cao had been deprived of her power, Lan Lan did not show any joy. She still sat in the Taoist temple and shook the spinning wheel in her hand. Her bright clothes were gone and she was replaced by a series of cloth clothes.
He grabbed the scissors from the basket and cut off the overly long yarn. Then he looked back at Zhao Xu, who was lying on the table writing.
As long as her son is by her side, it doesn't make any sense to her whether she returns to Gyeongbokgung Palace or not. Since the queen attended the silkworm kissing ceremony last time, Zhao Xu has returned to her to educate her personally, but the child's academic burden remains the same.
It was very important, neither Pang Ji nor Wen Yanbo relaxed at all about the prince.
After coming back from the emperor every day, he always had endless homework to finish.
Lan Lan saw that Zhao Xu had finally finished writing a large letter, so she took a faded kite from the wall and stuffed it into Zhao Xu's hand, saying, "Go out and play for a while. Let Ming Xiang fly the kite with you, but you are not allowed to cut the thread."
Zhao Xu looked at his mother suspiciously, then looked at the kite and said, "Really? Everyone says I should study hard now and listen to my teacher's lectures."
Lanlan touched her son's round head and smiled: "You have learned enough, now is the time to start playing. Go ahead, you have half an hour to play happily."
After Zhao Xu made sure that his mother was not testing him, he immediately picked up the kite and ran out. Lanlan looked at her son with a happy face as he shouted for Mingxiang in the yard, smiled, and started to clean up his son's table.
Pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the case.
Although the words on the paper are still a little immature, they already have a certain structure. Judging from the words, this child must be a broad-minded person, and you can tell by looking at his handwriting. Every word has a flat structure, a broad structure, and a very broad mind.
It's atmosphere.
Before clearing the table, Zhao Xu walked in again, with his head hanging down. He placed the kite in his hand on the table, sat down on the chair again, and prepared to continue writing.
"Why don't you go and play?" Lan Lan was a little surprised. What this child looks forward to most is playing.
Zhao Xu lowered his head and remained silent, while Lan Lan turned her head to look at Ming Xiang who was accompanying Zhao Xu out.
"Reporting to your Majesty, the Crown Prince and his slave met the Dowager Princess just after they left the courtyard. When the Crown Princess saw the Prince holding a paper kite in his hand..."
After listening to Ming Xiang's words, Lan Lan waved her out. She sat next to Zhao Xu and said with a smile: "The concubine is an elder. We can't refute her face. Since the paper kite cannot be completed, let's take advantage of this."
Would you like to have a nice talk if we have a chance?"
Zhao Xu raised his head, his face full of tears, and choked with sobs: "Why does everyone force me to study?"
Lanlan felt distressed and wiped her son's tears before saying: "Because you are destined to be the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Being an emperor requires very strong skills. Otherwise, how will you control people like your master in the future?"
Zhao Xu said loudly: "Master's knowledge is very profound. Master Pang said that if I want to reach his level, it will take at least twenty years..."
Lan Lan chuckled and said: "Silly boy, that's Master Pang trying to scare you. In fact, it won't take twenty years at all. Someone told Master Pang that there was nothing he could do to him when he was a few years older than you. What you have to learn is
This person, not Master Pang."
Zhao Xu looked at his mother suspiciously and said, "Who else is more knowledgeable than Master Pang? He is already the most powerful person in the Song Dynasty."
"That's not necessarily the case. It took Master Pang forty years to reach the position of chief minister. Now he only has the title of Chang Guogong. It took ten years for Wenxinhou to become the Wuhou of the Song Dynasty.
The first Marquis Wenxin, if he were not young enough and your father was worried that he would not be promoted, he would have been the Duke long ago.
Tell me, which one is more powerful, Marquis Wenxin or Duke Chang Guo?"
Zhao Xu's eyes lit up, and he immediately burst into tears and said with a smile: "Of course it's Marquis Wenxin, I know he is the invincible commander-in-chief of our Song Dynasty!"
Children naturally like famous generals who are invincible. Just hearing about the achievements of famous generals will make people's blood boil.
Lan Lan smiled and patted Zhao Xu's head gently and said: "It can't be calculated like this. Master Pang is a civil servant and Marquis Wen Xin is a military general. They are equally powerful. What I want to say is actually telling you, no matter what
As long as you achieve the ultimate in civil and military affairs, you will be a famous figure."
Zhao Xu looked at his mother and smiled: "My child still likes Marquis Wenxin!"
"Because he doesn't force you to write?" Lan Lan glanced at her son sideways.
"No, it's because he always wins the battle!"
Lan Lan put her arms around her son and smiled: "Although he is an invincible commander, he was very ugly when he was a boy. He drilled dog holes, stole fruits, and teased the janitor of the academy. There was nothing he didn't dare to do.
Who knew he would become a general later!"
Zhao Xu smiled and knelt on the chair and asked quickly: "How did he tease the gatekeeper? Concubine, please tell me."
Lanlan changed into a comfortable posture and smiled: "My mother-in-law is asking you, if a gatekeeper does not allow others to enter, but does not allow others to leave, but this gatekeeper is always taking a nap, and someone wants to run in from the outside, but before he can
When he ran in, the gatekeeper woke up and ordered the man out.
As a result, a guy swaggered out of the door and walked into the yard, but was not stopped by the gatekeeper. Boy, think about it, how did this guy get in? "
Zhao Xu put his fingers in his mouth, thought for a moment and said, "Climb the dog hole!"
Lanlan rolled her eyes at her son and said, "Looking at your little bit of potential, you didn't go into a dog hole. You walked in openly."
Zhao Xu jumped up suddenly and said: "He knocked out the janitor, just like Chen Lin tied up the disobedient slave. Chen Lin said that as long as anyone is disobedient, she will tie him up so that they will be obedient."
Lan Lan said helplessly: "This matter can only be solved through wisdom, not by force, nor by relying on one's own identity. My child, remember, there are many things in this world that cannot be solved with strength and power.
of."
Zhao Xu puffed up his chest and patted it: "I am the prince, who dares to disobey me?"
Lan Lan smiled and said: "There are many, such as your father, your eldest empress, your empress, your mother and concubine, your master, the general, and many more, Xu'er, in front of these people, you
The power is invalid. If the gatekeeper is sent by your father to prevent people from coming in and out, but you must go in, tell me, what are you going to do?"
Zhao Xu's brows were knitted into knots, and he said with a bitter face: "If the father doesn't allow the child to go in, the child will not go in."
Lanlan looked at Zhao Xu solemnly and said, "What if the mother-in-law is inside, can you go in?"
"Of course I have to go in. I must see my mother and concubine. No one can stop me. I will kill anyone who stops me. My father will not stop my child from seeing his mother and concubine."
Lanlan hugged Zhao Xu tightly and said with a smile: "What a good boy my concubine is, but we can't act recklessly. If you do that, your father will be unhappy, your concubine will be disappointed, and the civil and military ministers will also be disappointed."
They will think you are a reckless heir to the throne, which will do you no good at all.
My Xu'er is a smart child. He will definitely come up with a perfect way to meet his mother and concubine without making your father angry. It will also make the ministers surprised by your wisdom. This is the way to do it.
Best possible outcome.”
Zhao Xu looked up at his mother and said, "How did that person do it? Master said, if you don't know, you should ask. You must never pretend to understand. There is no shame in asking the ministers."
Lanlan laughed, nodded Zhao Xu's little face and said: "If you are smart, asking the ministers is also a very good way, because capable people will always become your ministers in the end. Those who used tricks to get in
That young man is also your minister now, so their wisdom is also your wisdom.
Back then, that's how that young man came in, he..."
After hearing what his mother and concubine said, Zhao Xu laughed so much that he almost fell off his chair. After he finished laughing, he looked at his mother and said, "Is that person Wen Xinhou?"
"Did you hear it?"
"You, my concubine, told me. You said that Marquis Wenxin once teased the gatekeeper when he was a boy. Who else could it be if he wasn't him?
But, concubine, why is there no Marquis Wenxin among my masters?"
Lanlan scratched her head and said in confusion: "My mother doesn't know either, why don't you ask your father why he doesn't let Marquis Wenxin become your master."
Zhao Xu nodded, planning to ask his father when he saw him tomorrow. It was already afternoon, and his father should have fallen asleep by now.
The dragon bells, phoenix drums and drums that announced the news had been beaten three times. Lanlan opened the quilt on the couch, took off her son's outer robe, and watched him sleep. In fact, she slept a little late today, and she had also adopted the habit of taking naps.
Her family brought her up, and the lazy and carefree life of the past has been engraved in her bones unconsciously.
Watching her son sleeping peacefully, Lanlan took out a book from under the table, which was a gift from Lu Qingqing.
As a woman, Lanlan couldn't understand what was said in the book called "Military Theory", but this did not prevent her from reciting those strange words carefully. The emperor did not know, and neither did Di Qing.
There are actually three versions of "Military Theory".
What was shown to the emperor was what Yunzheng said on the grassland. Many of the contents were recorded in the form of questions and answers to make it easier for people to understand.
The book Yun Zheng gave to Di Qing was about the development of gunpowder weapons. It was very detailed. It also included some of his judgments on the situation of the Three Kingdoms. Most of the content was based on assumptions.
But the book Lu Qingqing gave to Lan Lan described something else. It described in detail some basic uses of artillery. In this book, Yun Zheng used the god of war to describe artillery, and even
There are also some impacts on the world after large-scale use of artillery.
Lan Lan didn't understand why Yun Zheng gave this different book to her. After thinking about it, she insisted that Yun Zheng gave it to Zhao Xu through his own hands.
So she planned to burn it after memorizing it, because the last sentence in Lu Qingqing's letter was that this book must not fall into the hands of others. (To be continued)
