Verse 85: Don't forget your original intention1
King Fu was rectified, followed by the only remaining elite team of the Criminal Department who were now arrested by Zhao Yue and his party, and they were also wantonly slaughtered, and the two chief catchers Iron Goshawk and Cao Guanxiong were both killed.
The new emperor Zhao Huan, who believed in Geng Nanzhong and thus always behaved calmly, was even more panicked when he learned that the Cangzhao people did not take the royal family and the noble prince seriously at all.
His composure was only shown on the surface by listening to Geng Nanzhong's demagogy and the so-called clever plan that can determine the country, and he also wanted to show his extraordinary side that he was qualified to be the emperor in front of the ministers who had always looked down on him, and tried to increase some supreme majesty and right to speak.
But he was still too young at this time, nearly ten years younger than his hasty ascension to the throne at the time of the destruction of the country in history.
Zhao Huan, who was established in history, still had no ability to stabilize the country and secure the country, and when the Jin army was killed, he was so frightened that he just wanted to give up resistance, abandon the Beijing division like his father, abandon the people and ordinary officials, and finally chose to surrender the whole country, and now even the life experience is too small, and the quality will only be worse.
He is already talented, lacks ability, coupled with his weak and honest nature and the life of the prince in the palace who is doubly difficult, he is extremely cowardly and timid, and he has no courage to take responsibility and face crises and challenges, and he hesitates to do anything without a proposition or opinion. At this time, in the face of a similar catastrophe of destroying the country, can you still expect him to show a miracle?
For Zhao Gonglian, Zhao Huan's feelings are unimaginably complex for outsiders.
For this humble villager with the same surname and born in a remote countryside, Zhao Huan did not have any life as a child of the supreme royal family and the prince of the first person under the emperor, the future lord of the Great Song Dynasty, and the kind of innate superiority in the psychology that should be there, and there is only a growing and strong envy from childhood to adulthood, and the natural formation of inferiority is more and more inferior, and with his own bad to the danger of stepping down at any time, the prince's environment and growing up sensible gradually have personality dignity and from inferiority to more and more intense resentment, and finally turned into fear, and now that he is the emperor, he admires and still has the same strong sense of admiration as before, but he is also afraid and hateful, of course, the latter is the main thing.
All this is because: Zhao Gonglian is the "child of someone else's family" that parents always say when they hate their own children.
The existence of Zhao Gonglian, the child of other people's families, is like a mountain in the hearts of all the princes who have been sensible and began to study, and the shadow area formed in the hearts of the princes is already infinite, and the shadow accelerates more and more with the passage of time......
The little princes have no power to catch up with the genius young powerhouse, let alone crack the infinite and infinitely thick shadow in their hearts.
It is undoubtedly sad that a gifted child is the child of the same country, generation, place, or even classmates.
The huge difference in innate IQ is by no means something that the so-called acquired efforts can make up for, especially in learning, not to mention that the princes with an incomparably superior living environment cannot have the more and more determined and powerful perseverance and fighting spirit that Zhao Gonglian has formed by living in the treacherous and suffering border and facing death at any time.
And when such a genius was once Zhao Ji's henchman and little secretary, he wandered freely in the palace all day long, and the princes could be seen almost every day, and they had to directly face the infinite charm and pressure of the genius, and this genius happened to be surnamed Zhao, with the same surname as the royal family, then the princes' beautiful and splendid little days were even more sad.
During the period when Zhao Gonglian served the emperor in the palace, the life of the princes was very hard, even if they were born with no heart and lungs, their hearts were big enough, and they couldn't care less about the kind of pressure that was invisibly shrouded. So much so that when Zhao Gonglian finally released himself as a magistrate outside Beijing, all the princes, whether they were big or small, whether they were sensible good children, or unobtrusive bear children, all of them invariably cheered and jumped up in unison, just like the slaves who had worked hard for a long time were finally liberated, and finally saw the bright blue sky and white sun, that kind of festivity, it was almost a big firecracker to congratulate Chongqing.
Not setting off firecrackers is not allowed to do so casually in the palace, it is strictly customized, otherwise it will inevitably be released.
This incident surprised the ladies who gave birth to the prince...... Sigh.
And the ladies who didn't give birth to a prince were stunned and cried and laughed, and then looked forward to giving birth to a prince, and even more looking forward to giving birth to an outstanding prince, who must be stronger than this child of the Cangzhao family, must be.......
is pregnant with a fetus and has been judged to be a son's mother, not to mention the mood.
Even if there are restrictions in the palace, there is a bear child prince who has come up with a way to make a scary noise as a firecracker to celebrate, so that the palace guards and forbidden soldiers think that something terrible has happened and rush to the palace in horror....... When Emperor Zhao Ji learned about this, he couldn't help but be in a trance, and Wan Er scolded with a smile: "These little bastards........ Tsk, as for it? ”
This attitude is a good reflection of the character of Zhao Ji, the emperor.
Zhao Ji was not destined to be a strict emperor, but must be a relaxed politics, more relaxed governance under the already loose economic policy of the Song Dynasty, and a loose palace house..... The courtiers like such an emperor who is not difficult to serve, the ladies in the palace like such an amorous and tender and tolerant emperor, the eunuchs and palace maids also like such a non-strict and cruel master, and the people of the world once liked it, but then they didn't like it, the emperor was lenient with the officials, and the officials would take the opportunity to exploit and bend the law to the people....... .
Politics is serious business.
The emperor must be a strict person.
Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan are not unscrupulous villains, if they were just ordinary nobles, they might have many friends and a good reputation, but unfortunately they are the emperor.
Zhao Ji is not destined to be a strict father.
His status as an emperor and personality determined that he would not pay attention to the growth of his children like fathers in ordinary families, but he would not be harsh on his children.
Usually he doesn't care at all.
The reason why he will teach the princes how to teach Zhao Gonglian as someone else's child is more that he is so intelligent and talented, he is so proud and conceited, but he has so many sons, but he sees that none of them are more qualified than Zhao Gonglian, and there is no one as good as him, and he will inevitably be disappointed when he is a father, and he is so proud and conceited that the emperor's supreme father will be even more, naturally, whenever he feels greatly dissatisfied with the princes' homework, or when the princes do something that disappoints him to let him know, If you are emotional, you will call all the princes to reprimand them fiercely, urging them to know how to be diligent and motivated, and the bear children will inevitably have a hard lesson.
You are the most noble children in the world, my sons, and the delicate sons of the sky, and it is too embarrassing for you to be mediocre and ordinary, and you are not easy to learn and progress...... I can't afford to lose that man.
That's probably the mentality.
For Zhao Huan, his qualifications are already so bad that they may be at the bottom among the princes, he often seems stupid and ignorant even his younger brother who is much younger than himself, and he doesn't seem to be as good as his younger brothers, even when a child pleases his father, he can always be easily surpassed by his younger brother in such a trivial matter, and he will always become a smart and cute laughing stock for his younger brothers, (he has no mother, no one really cares about him teaching him how to please his father), and then Zhao Gonglian is a demon, Naturally, he was so miserable that he could only bow down humbly and sadly in front of a genius who was as radiant as a god, and weep helplessly in the dust of infinite shadows.......
The existence of the young genius Zhao Gonglian means 10,000 points of damage to the princes, especially to the crown prince Zhao Huan, and it is every day, and it may be ......
In fact, the princes' feelings for Zhao Gonglian are extremely complicated, disgusted and even hated, but they can't help liking and even being willing to get close.
This is because Zhao Gonglian, like other courtiers, maintains due respect and distance for the princes, but it is completely different from the regular way of acting of courtiers.
He never deliberately tries to get close to or even please the noble princes, but he will not keep the rules and keep the courtiers as they should be, and the princes will contact him.
Whether it is a proud or frustrated prince, whether it is a prince who admires him or hates him to contact him, he will treat everyone equally without losing respect but often not serious enough to laugh and hehe, not caring about the fierce and dangerous and complex palace fights in the palace, not looking at which palace concubine is being favored and which one is falling out of favor and following the trend to hold which prince to step on, and there is a way to let those princes who are aggressive to find fault with him and settle accounts with him can be honest and forget the purpose of teaching him a lesson, at least temporarily forget that he is the hateful "shadow". “。
For the princes who were not very old at that time, Zhao Gonglian was more like a big brother who had grown up and even doted on a group of young brothers.
He often brings some novel and interesting toys, villain books, comics or something into the palace, and plays and reads them for the princes who come into contact with him or come to find trouble, which are all new toys that are not available in the palace and are often not seen in the world.
When he has time, he will lead him to the imperial dining room to make some fresh and delicious food with the help of the chefs....... The imperial chefs didn't dare to let this favored young man ....... If you are interested, you will tell the prince long or short stories.
This made the princes both love and hate him. It's still a shadow, but the implications of a shadow have become much more complicated.
And the ladies with different minds have complicated feelings about Zhao Gonglian, and those who should have hated it seem to hesitate...... If you are dissatisfied, it is not easy to say anything.
The dishes are so fresh and delicious, and the story is so interesting that some princes strongly ask his mother and even the emperor to arrange Zhao Gonglian to be the palace chef, and it is best to arrange him to be a eunuch, so that he can not only teach this shadow a lesson at any time, but also be convenient to eat fresh and delicious things at any time and listen to interesting stories......
Of course, such absurd demands will certainly not be met.
Zhao Ji is the emperor, no matter how ridiculous he is, he can't do such a tasteless thing.
A dignified young genius, a new role model of Shilin who has both virtue and merit and fame, if he becomes the imperial chef or even a eunuch, it will be the face of the palace....... Public opinion in the world can spray the emperor to death.......
Zhao Gonglian's casual behavior towards the prince will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of officials full of orthodoxy, believing that this is to tempt the prince and disturb the noble and rigorous life that the prince should have in the palace...... It is ill-intentioned, and if he is not a loyal and patriotic gentleman, he must be a traitor, and he must not be allowed to grow up like this....... Therefore, the impeachment was played, and the attack was attacked.
There were many officials who were looking for trouble in this way, which caused Zhao Ji to have to pay attention to it.
But Zhao Ji is more interested and more concerned about something else.
He had long known that Zhao Gonglian's behavior of breaking traditional rules and ignoring taboos was extraordinary, and could even be said to be breaking traditional rules and ignoring taboos.
He had never heard that a courtier could get along with a prince like this, and he could get along with him so successfully.
As far as he knows, I'm afraid there has never been such a courtier in history, right?
It is not surprising that Zhao Ji has a way to restrain the prince from looking for trouble and make the prince give up his "hatred".
If you don't have any means, you can't even deal with the young prince and child, so how can such an official grow into a national pillar who plays the world?
Zhao Ji also saw that Zhao Gonglian's way of getting along with the prince played a positive role invisibly.
The atmosphere in the palace is unprecedentedly harmonious, and it is no longer the solemn and dull and boring that it used to be, but it has invisibly added the most rare relaxation and activity and interest in life.
And the princes unconsciously accepted some things in the comic book villain books and stories with relish, grew knowledge, learned more about the outside world, and improved their morality...... Even the bear children who don't want to study unconsciously have learned more knowledge, become more sensible, and no longer act like stubborn stones and rotten trees.
In this regard, Zhao Ji is naturally happy to hear about it.
Otherwise, Zhao Gonglian would not have been so comfortable "fooling" in the palace and had been driven out of the palace as soon as possible.
Zhao Gonglian can always come up with new toys sought after by princes in a variety of ways, and Zhao Ji is also not surprised.
The Cangzhao family rose with innovation.
Zhao Gonglian is so smart and capable.
Wizards should seem to have great ideas for everything.
The gentleman is far away from cooking, but Zhao Gonglian is not taboo about this and is good at it, there are a lot of novelties, and Zhao Ji doesn't care about it.
It's not that he doesn't abide by this Confucian dogma, but in his heart, the courtiers are first of all the servants of the royal family, and then the officials who rule the world with the royal family, otherwise the scholars really think that they are the co-masters of the country who can sit on an equal footing with the royal family. It is the duty of the courtiers to serve the royal family well, and what is the matter with cooking for the princes once in a while.
Zhao Ji is strange about Zhao Gonglian's mentality and "big brother" demeanor towards the princes.
He could see that Zhao Gonglian's friendly behavior was very natural, and he didn't deliberately do it to the princes.
Zhao Gonglian was surprised by the emperor's curiosity, and then quickly apologized for the crime......
As for the reason?
"Weichen's younger brother is young, the same age as some of the princes, five or six years old, seven or eight years old, it is the time when he is naughty and naughty, in our hometown, it is the age when chickens and dogs don't love it, and make parents and elders cry and laugh. Chen's younger brother, cough, can be called stubborn, never read and study, at the time of enlightenment, he once invited a famous Confucian teacher in Cangzhou at the time of enlightenment, and refused to go to school to read and write...... Often so angry that he doesn't care about our father, he will have no choice but to jump to his feet and scold this bear for his play,"
After Zhao Jidu was surprised by these words, he couldn't help laughing.
