Tuoba Shen's words calmed down both the emperor and Feng Dan, neither of them expected him to make such a request, the emperor was silent for a moment, and asked, "Why does Erlang have this thought?" ”

"My son is fortunate to be born in heaven, and he does not need to be like a child of a poor family, and he will haunt the mountains, forests and rivers when he is not an adult, and walk in the wilderness for a fruit and a wheat. Thirteen are in service, and sixty are not yet returned. Although they are not as good as them, they also want to do their part for Dawei. ”

The emperor shook his head and said: "It is very good that my son has this heart for the country, but you are young now, and you are not yet ready to serve the country, you should only study poetry and books with your heart, learn to military horses, and achieve success in the future, whether you are from literature or martial arts, you can contribute to the country." ”

"Reading history books, the kings and their children of the past dynasties were either born in the deep palace, or grew up in the hands of women, and their footprints in their lives were only tossed and turned between sizes, and when they grew up, they were trapped in mundane affairs, even if they were blinded by the group because of their lack of knowledge, they did not have the extra energy and time to experience them. Our clan was originally in the north of Yinshan, and the athletes in the clan could bend their bows and horses at the age of ten, and they could go out with the car at the age of fifteen. The child is now ten years old, and it cannot be said that he is young, and I hope that his father can allow the child to take advantage of this leisure opportunity to follow the remnants of the Ji Zha ritual and follow the red heart of Shi Gong to study. ”

"The Great Wei of the Southern Dynasty is the enemy, the Xiao family usurped the king with his courtiers, and he is cunning by nature, since you are my son, it is a strange commodity in the eyes of the Southern Dynasty, if Xiao Yiqiang keeps you as a proton, how can you be at ease as a father?"

"I also thought about it in this section, Xiao Daocheng usurped the Liu family with cunning skills, and the eunuchs of Jiangnan Gate were afraid of his force and could not resist, and he was really unconvinced, how could the Xiao family not know about this? Therefore, for many years, he has treated the Liu family with a false position, hypocritically acted benevolent and righteous, and defrauded his reputation to gain popularity. Now our dynasty and Jiangnan have been accumulating troops for many years, the envoys look at each other in the road, the national letter goes back and forth to Jianghuai, and the people of Jiangnan have received this favor, and they are unwilling to raise swords again. Xiao Zhen has the festival of observance, but has no heart for martial arts. They will not dare to raise swords and soldiers for the sake of trouble. In addition, the Southern Dynasty regarded itself as where China was Zhengshuo, and said that it would be called benevolence, virtue and etiquette, and his son went as a messenger, how could Xiao Zhen dare to violate the great disapproval of the world? Xiao Zhen is like a strong child, Jiankang is no more than one guest, and his hypocrisy is self-defeating. Laughed at. ”

After hearing this, the emperor said: "Although Erlang's words are reasonable, there are still some risks in it, and Xiao Zhen's heart is unpredictable. If you want to study, where is the realm of Great Wei, why do you need to go to Jiangnan? ”

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles? Fang Jin and the Great Wei rivals, only the Jiangnan Dynasty, the father has the heart to recreate China, the son is willing to be the king's forerunner, a view of the politics of the Southern Dynasty. In the past, Lord Zhao's father was in the middle of the Guanzhong, and he pretended to be a messenger to observe the reality of King Qin Zhao. At that time, Qin was strong and Zhao was weak, and the heart of the tiger and wolf was strong, and Master Zhao still dared to explore, but if he was gone, the danger was not as good as Master Zhao's, so what was he afraid of? ”

The emperor stood up and paced for a long time, and said, "What Erlang asked, it is known to the father, and the father will think about it carefully before replying." ”

"I called you this day for something to tell you. Your mother's maternal uncle Zhang Shao was transferred from Wuyang Ling to Le'an Taishou, and now temporarily lives in the home of Zhang Yi, the host and guest Ling, and you can visit tomorrow. Let's go first! ”

Tuoba didn't have time to think about his maternal uncle Zhang Shao, who had not seen him for five years, stood up and said, "Yes, my son will retire." ”

The emperor waited for Tuoba Shen to leave the Imperial Letter Hall, returned to the imperial bed and sat down, and asked Feng Dan: "From the point of view of Uncle Wang, is it feasible for Zishen to ask for this?" ”

……

。。。。。。。

Tuoba Shen went out of the Huangxin Hall, no longer thinking about going to the Southern Dynasty, anyway, everything that should be said has been said, whether it can be achieved depends only on the emperor's will, if the emperor insists on refusing, then it can only be said that it is the will of heaven.

Now he just wants to see his maternal uncle Zhang Shao, whom he hasn't seen for five years. In the past five years, Tuoba Shen has not heard from this uncle, whom he has not seen many times. But the emperor asked him to go again tomorrow, and now he can only go back to the alto hall first.

Back in the alto hall, Tuoba Shen went to see Feng Qing first, and said that he was going to see his uncle tomorrow, as for going to the Southern Dynasty, this matter may not be possible, so he didn't bother to say it, besides, Feng Qing definitely didn't want him to go, so he should hide it!

After that, he went to the Qingxiao Courtyard, told Cao Guiren about leaving the palace tomorrow, and then went to the bed, took out a wooden box under the pillow, which contained some letters to his mother's family left by Tuoba Shen's biological mother Zhang Concubine before her death, these letters were not sent out until her death, because the Zhang family was already not prosperous at that time, and there were no relatives left in Pingcheng, so these letters could only be stored together, which Tuoba Shen found when collecting his mother's relics, and they were collected as treasures all these years and placed under the pillow. None of them have been opened.

Speaking of the origin of his mother Zhang Concubine, Tuoba Shen asked before. His mother also belonged to the "flat household".

"Pingqi Household" is the wealthy clan and people in the Qingqi region who were conquered by Emperor Xianwen during the reign of Emperor Xianwen, and were originally ruled by Liu Song.

After Liu Yu, the pig king of Liu Song, ascended the throne, Liu Zixun, the son of Liu Jun, the son of Liu Jun, the emperor of Liu Song, was not convinced and raised troops to seize the throne. At that time, the land of Qing Qi also stood on the side of this matter, and Xue An, who was the assassin of Xuzhou at the time, was on Liu Zixun's side. After Liu Zixun was suppressed, Xue Andu was uneasy and sent someone to Jiankang to ask Cheng, claiming that he was willing to face the guilt. Liu Yu ignored the dissuasion of Xiao Daocheng and others, and sent heavy troops to meet Xue Andu, who was willing to be "bound", of course Xue Andu would not really be bound, so he turned his head to the Northern Wei Dynasty to surrender.

Seeing a rare opportunity, the Northern Wei Dynasty sent Murong Baiyao to lead the army into Qingqi, and together with Xue Andu and others, attacked the counties loyal to Liu Song. Zhang Concubine's grandfather Zhang Yan served as the assassin of Eastern Xuzhou at that time, belonging to the local natives, Liu Song surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty after the defeat and retreat, because he was a high-ranking official, so the Northern Wei Dynasty gave him a very good treatment at that time, second only to Xue Andu and Bi Zhongjing and others.

In addition to Zhang Yan, Cui Daogu and others of the Cui clan in Qinghe all surrendered because they were exhausted, and they were not as good as Xue Andu and others, so the imperial court moved all of them to Pingcheng, and only gave them false officials and titles. These households who had resisted the Northern Wei Dynasty were moved to Yinguan County to live, where they set up "Pingqi County", and all the original Qingqi people who were moved to the vicinity of Pingcheng were called "Pingqi Households".

The status of the Pingqi households is very low at the beginning, and they belong to the group of people who are observed and transformed. Later, after a long time, in order to appease them, the imperial court recruited some women from the Qingqi Hao clan who had a good history into the palace, and it was under this circumstance that Concubine Zhang was summoned into the palace. It is precisely because of the origin of "Pingqihu" that she was promoted to a concubine instead of becoming a noble like Gao Zhaorong after giving birth to Tuoba Shen.

The rules in the palace are very strict, not everyone has a mother's family like the Feng family sisters, and the family situation is not good, so naturally they have to follow the rules and tremble. After Concubine Zhang entered the palace, she would only see her family on the day of the New Year's Festival, and she couldn't even say that she was happy, and the thousand words in her heart could only be written on paper.

Zhang Shao is the second brother of Concubine Zhang, and she is the third in her mother's family. Both fathers are Zhang Yan's eldest son Zhang Jingbo, since Zhang Yan's death, the Zhang family has suffered one after another misfortunes, one after another people have died, and now, the whole family is less than ten people. Speaking of the Qinghe Zhang family, it is actually in decline, and Zhang Shao, the county order, has been in decline for seven years before he was able to turn into a taishou, and the Zhang family at this time was already lucky.
