Chapter 15: Awakening

Late at night, in the East Palace, Zhao Chen sat there with a wry smile.

He already knew the content of the afternoon government, and knew the three decisions made by the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, one was to cede Hebei and Hedong, the second was to give the Jurchens astronomical gold and silver treasures, and the third was to let the Qinwang army in various places not move without permission, so as not to anger the Jin people!

Don't say that the Jurchens' peace negotiation is a "boiled frog in warm water" plan, even if the peace negotiation is true, they must not agree to such harsh conditions! Hebei and Hedong are so important, almost equivalent to half of the Central Plains! Ten million ingots of gold, twenty million ingots of silver, and ten million pieces of silk, what kind of wealth is this? Not to mention the last item, in order to prevent angering the Jin soldiers, Song Qinzong actually ordered the Qinwang army in various places not to move, which is simply a joke! Even if you want to negotiate peace, you must have a certain amount of confidence, and Qin Wangjun is the confidence! Without the slightest confidence, the so-called peace negotiation is just being bullied in vain!

"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! Zhao Chen couldn't help but say.

"Your Highness, what happened?" Looking at Zhao Chen's angry face, Xiao San'er said with some surprise.

"Nothing, you keep training!" Zhao Chen said.

These days, Zhao Chen began to train the little third prince etiquette, various actions, and so on! This little third child looks similar to Zhao Chen, but his actions look like he was from the bottom of the people, so Zhao Chen must train him well in case there are mistakes in the future!

Xiao San'er stood up and began to walk towards the front! He learned Zhao Chen's movements just now, but for some reason, his movements always gave people a sense of obscenity! He has been a beggar for many years, and these beggars are all timid and cautious in front of others, and now it is really difficult for him to change all at once.

"Don't walk around like that, keep your head high! You now think of yourself as the real prince, and everyone else is your minion! You try again! Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" Xiao San'er first closed his eyes, as if he was brewing the feeling of "prince", and after a while, he walked up again. It's just that he has a triumphant smile on his face, as if he has really become a "prince", and everyone else is a minion.

"Behind your hands, don't be hippie smiley! Be serious! You're like an upstart now. Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" Xiao San'er hurriedly put away his smile and continued to move forward.

"Don't walk too much, not too small, just right! Look at how I walk! Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen pointed out to Xiao San'er while secretly listening to the movement outside. Although he has driven the eunuchs and palace maids out of the palace, if something important happens in the palace, these eunuchs and palace maids will still come over, and when they find out the abnormality of the palace, it will be bad.

After training like this for half the night, Zhao Chen and Xiao San'er began to fall asleep.

Zhao Chen slept on the dragon bed, and Xiao San'er was still lying under the bed. For Xiao San'er, begging and cheating in the past were very hard, but he felt that this kind of training was even harder, and the many etiquettes and cumbersome actions made him dizzy. However, in order to be able to become a stand-in for the prince in the future and be able to enjoy the feeling of being high, it is acceptable to work harder.

It seems that Zhao Chen's words that day really deceived him.

If it is an adult, Zhao Chen wants to deceive the unusual difficulty, but unfortunately this little third child is only a ten-year-old child, even though he has been "mixed" in society for many years, but after all, his intelligence has not grown, and he is from the bottom of the people, he has no concept of the palace and the prince at all, it is this kind of conditions together, he will be deceived by Zhao Chen's words. Now lying under the bed, but his mind is still addicted to fantasy.

*** ***

The court of the Great Song Dynasty was now also indulging in illusions, and they thought that after negotiating peace with the Jin soldiers, they would soon retreat in the future.

However, in fact, the battle reports in front of him are still coming in a steady stream, and all kinds of war reports show that the Jurchens are getting closer and closer to Kaifeng City! But in the palace of Kaifeng, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty turned a blind eye!

Zhao Chen looked at these battle reports every day, and his heart became more and more anxious!

In these days, he has repeatedly asked to see Song Qinzong, but Song Qinzong is so busy preparing gold and silver for the Jurchens that he can't spare time to see his son at all! The Jurchens demanded too much gold and silver, and Song Qinzong had urgently blocked the treasury, and he wanted to send out all the remaining gold and silver treasures in the treasury! However, the treasury was empty and far from being able to meet the needs of the Jin soldiers, so Song Qinzong was "selfless", he took out countless treasures in the palace and auctioned them to the merchants of Bianliang City! But even so, the amount of gold and silver is still too far apart!

Song Qinzong can only count on Li Bangyan and the Jurchens to "bargain" now, and finally reduce the amount of gold and silver treasures!

For what his father did, Zhao Chen was really helpless!

On October 25, it snowed in Kaifeng.

The snow is still very small in the morning, and it gradually becomes heavier at noon, and by the afternoon it is already snowing! The entire palace has been covered in silver, very enchanting, and the scenery is extremely beautiful! It's a pity that Zhao Chen doesn't have the slightest mood to enjoy the scenery now!

For some reason, today he felt particularly depressed in his heart, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, he actually had a feeling of "black clouds pressing the top"!

"Could it be that Jin Bing is coming?" Zhao Chen said secretly.

Returning to the dormitory late at night, Zhao Chen began to train Xiao San'er in various manners and movements.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Chen took off his clothes.

"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to bed?" Xiao San'er said.

"It's not!" Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "You put on my clothes and try it!" ”

"Ahh Xiao San'er's face showed a look of surprise, and he took the clothes over.

The ancient prince's costume is unusually gorgeous, Xiao San'er has long been greedy for the prince's costume, and today he can finally wear it and try it on! He impatiently took off his clothes and put on the prince's clothes, with a smile on his face! It's just that his smile is like a beggar who suddenly picked up a piece of gold, how obscene it looks!

"Put my hat on!" Zhao Chen said again.

He handed over the crown crown to Xiao San'er, and Xiao San'er hurriedly put it on! After a while, Zhao Chen took off his shoes again, and Xiao San'er put them on!

At this moment, Xiao San'er has changed into a full set of prince clothes, and he is dancing with his hands, extremely excited! It was the first time he had worn such gorgeous clothes since he was a child! For a 10-year-old, that's a joy to be!

"Turn around and let me have a good look!" Zhao Chen said.

At that moment, Xiao San'er hurriedly turned around, and Zhao Chen watched carefully from the side.

"Don't laugh, don't move! The expression on his face is more serious, didn't I let you learn my expression...... Yes, that's all! Seeing Xiao San'er dancing, Zhao Chen couldn't help but scold.

Xiao San'er hurriedly put his hands behind his back and made a serious appearance.

"Like, so similar, it's just a person!" Zhao Chen said secretly in his heart.

"Take a few steps and show me!" Zhao Chen said again.

It's a pity that as soon as the little third child walks, he immediately reveals his stuffing! Although he has been trained by Zhao Chen for many days, the habits he has developed since he was a child are not so easy to change! At this moment, he walked like a thief, and although his body was upright, his eyes were aimed around!

"Don't mess around!" Zhao Chen frowned.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, does the villain learn like this?" Xiao San'er said with a smile on his face.

"Almost...... Just remember, you must not be hippie and smiling, and your eyes should not be random to look at, otherwise others will definitely know that you are not the prince, and not only will you not be able to act as a prestige, but you will be immediately taken down and beheaded! Zhao Chen said coldly.

"The villain remembered!" Xiao San'er was taken aback and hurriedly said.

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "Very good!" ”

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, when will I be able to appear as your stand-in?" Xiao San'er said.

"Soon...... Maybe I will leave the palace once in a month or two, you will be the prince for me, and you will enjoy the wealth when the time comes! It's late at night, go to sleep! Zhao Chen was silent for a while and said.

At that moment, the two began to fall asleep, Zhao Chen lay on the bed and couldn't sleep, he was thinking crankily in his heart, for a while he felt that he couldn't bear to let Xiao San'er die for him, and for a while he wanted to think about whether he could leave the palace, and for a while he wanted to do something after leaving the palace! Coming to this era inexplicably, he still can't adapt to his identity, and he suddenly finds that if he leaves the palace, he seems to have some difficulties in life!

"Hey! Let's take it one step at a time! Zhao Chen said secretly.

By the time of the fifth watch, the sky was almost bright, and Zhao Chen faintly heard a loud sound in his sleep, and he immediately turned over and sat up!

The rumbling sound echoed throughout Kaifeng City, and Zhao Chen came to the window in surprise and looked out, but unfortunately all he saw was the vast snow.

"What is this sound? Don't...... Could it be that the Jurchen Iron Cavalry has arrived? Zhao Chen felt a chill in his heart!
