Although Zhao Xi took precautions against the continuation of the rumors, the Imperial City Department's thorough investigation will definitely put an end to the rumors.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhao Xi still wanted to put the matter to rest as soon as possible.
It is one thing to dispel some illusions, and it is another thing to make the court less chaotic. At the same time, it also shows the courtiers that in today's Song Dynasty, the crown prince's successor is the only and unchanging one.
The emperor and empress arrived at the East Palace together, and at least the rumors and gossip heard by the people in the East Palace were stopped.
Zhao Xi asked Shi De to stop the servant's announcement and walked straight into the prince's palace.
Zhao Xi was very pleased with what he saw, but Taoniang had tears in her eyes.
It must be true that the prince is ill, as the whole east palace is filled with the smell of medicine.
But the prince's illness was not serious enough to require him to report illness.
Zhao Xi thought about it. It must be that his silly son didn't sleep well last night. He was tossing and turning and couldn't figure it out. It was the junction of winter and spring, so he had a cold.
I guess the ginger soup in the middle of the night has made me sweat, and I feel relaxed. But I haven't figured it out yet, so I complained of illness.
As for starting to deal with official business at this time, I guess I have figured it out...
"Father, mother, I know I was wrong."
When Zhao Xi and Tao Niang approached, although the Crown Princess was stopped by Zhao Xi, the Crown Prince still knew after they approached.
Looking back, he first knelt down to admit his mistake. Then the entire East Palace knelt down.
Zhao Xi waved his hand to let the rest of the crowd retreat. Then he just sat casually where the prince was doing official business...
"Tell me, why was it wrong?"
Zhao Xi knows what attitude to use in any situation.
At this time, if I continue to be sullen and cold-faced, my son will probably be upset again.
On the one hand, I don't dare to tell the truth, but I'm probably thinking wildly again.
This imperial position...Oh! There is no way, this is the era.
"Dad, children shouldn't think wildly, shouldn't speculate on daddy's thoughts, and shouldn't be timid and complain..."
"No matter what the father is, if the child is a prince for a day, he should fulfill the duties of a prince for a day..."
What a mistake! Zhao Xi really wanted to curse.
I thought my son had really figured it out, but it turns out he was just expressing his feelings.
That's right. It's always right to fulfill one's duties. However, Zhao Xi may really not be able to fully blame him. In such an era, it is impossible to really understand what he is thinking.
Regarding the prince, it would be wrong to say that Zhao Xi had never taught him. However, because he was in the position of king and the court at that time was in dire straits, he could only find time to accompany the prince.
And in the little time I have, I tend to cultivate family ties.
Although some ideas from later generations were mixed in, after all, they still did not last as long as those who read and lectured, nor did they instill them as frequently.
When the prince became an adult, he went out of the palace to gain experience. All his experiences were not much different from those of the scholars of the Song Dynasty.
How can I force him to understand me?
"Get up!"
Zhao Xi really couldn't explain how he felt.
"Son, you may not understand my thoughts. In fact, what I want most is not a king, but a tourist..."
"All I can see about the vast country of the Song Dynasty is Shen Kuo's most accurate sand table. The only way I can know about the people of the Song Dynasty is through articles in memorials."
"While Hebei Road is still covered with ice and snow, spring flowers are blooming on Jinghu Road. South of Nanling, it is hot all year round, and Dali is like spring all year round."
"The sky is full of yellow sand in the Western Regions, the boundless sea in Lingnan, the boundless grasslands in the North, the steep mountains and green mountains in Nanzhao..."
"This is my country, but I can only be trapped in this small palace..."
Zhao Xi himself didn't know whether his words were to reassure the prince or if he really had such thoughts.
It seems that I really haven’t taken a good look at this great river and mountains.
In this era, this palace is still a leaky palace.
The Queen Mother at that time all wore dresses that leaked around the feet, but my father's regular clothes only needed patches.
At the same time, what Zhao Xi saw was a king who was so kind that he was almost cowardly, and what he saw was the Song Dynasty court that was in constant fear day and night.
I also saw the noble ministers and the fierce generals keeping silent... This was the court at that time.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Xi calmed down and began to worry about this country.
So far, forty years have passed, and the Song Dynasty has initially shown the signs of its expected rejuvenation.
But what exactly did he get?
Suddenly Zhao Xi felt a little lonely...
Suddenly, the memories that Zhao Xi had buried in his heart began to slowly grow, filling his mind once again...
A thousand years! What kind of distance is this?
Zhao Xi couldn't care less about Tao Niang who was confused in the East Palace, and even forgot about the prince who needed comfort...~ Maybe he didn't understand, but it was time to understand.
Zhao Xi was just like this. He was talking nicely just now, but suddenly left inexplicably.
"Tao Niang, I want to be quiet..."
Seeing that Taoniang was anxious to follow her, Zhao Xi stopped her. At this time, he just wanted to be alone.
Unfortunately, in such a huge palace, there is no place where Zhao Xi can be alone.
Zhao Xi walked around the palace wall where he usually exercised. There were palace guards everywhere, and he could always see personal officials from the Imperial City Department.
"Shi Deyi, sent me the ten-year-old Chen from Bottle Workshop City, and sent the officials and palace guards aside..."
Maybe this behavior is incomprehensible.
But Zhao Xi just wanted to be wanton and happy for once.
Shi Deyi was quite good. He not only brought wine, but also several dishes to go with the wine, and even a small stool.
I don’t know if this fool thought of it or if Tao Niang told me.
Only Tao Niang has ever had such an emotion before...
One day, the whole day, neither the officials nor the prince were in the Qinzheng Palace, nor did they participate in the affairs of the court.
The new cabinet is taking over the affairs of the Great Court, and the old cabinet elders are adapting to their status as counselors of the cabinet.
No matter how normal the dynasty is, the ministers and servants are all worried about the inner garden.
The Imperial City Department conducted a thorough investigation, so they didn't notice too many details...
In this situation, I can't help but think more about it.
Everyone understood that something happened in the palace last night. Although they were not sure what it was, they probably understood that it had something to do with the prince.
"What are you going to do?"
Zhang Dun didn't specify who it was, but he seemed to have pointed it out.
"It's not necessarily more troublesome. It's true that the prince occasionally feels cold, and it's normal for the officials to order us to handle government affairs. What's really abnormal is that rumor..."
Lu Huiqing was accustomed to thinking about problems in terms of conspiracy and conspiracy, but his guess was the closest to the truth.
"Everyone, don't speculate on the official family, and don't discuss the inner garden! Since the official family lets the cabinet manage the government, we only need to manage the government!"
The title of Prime Minister Wang Anshi has probably been decided again.
At least I met with the officials in the morning, and the officials had no objection to this fact.
Therefore, when Wang Anshi spoke up at this time, the cabinet ministers still obeyed.
The old minister of Qiandi knew that nothing major happened because he was too familiar with the official family.
However, Zhang Dun, Lu Huiqing and others were essentially the descendants supported by Wang Anshi.
