Chapter 31: The Heart of Parents
The sunrise wakes up the morning, and the earth is reborn in all its glory. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As soon as the sky was bright, Zhao Shu got up early and stood in front of his palace, quietly looking at the place where the sun rose, which would be the first journey of his career.
At the same time, this is also the first time that Zhao Shu has traveled to the Song Dynasty for the first time in the past few months, and he has consciously gotten up so early. Because when he got up and dressed, he looked back and saw that Mingyue was still leaning on the embroidered pillow, immersed in sleep. This time he got up earlier than Mingyue, and in the past, Mingyue got up before him, and then prepared to change his clothes early and hot water. Now get up by yourself, prepare hot water, eat early, and change your clothes without alarming anyone.
At the same time, Zhao Shu seemed to think of something, folded Mingyue's clothes and put them next to the bed, Mingyue's favorite breakfast Zhao Shu also prepared to put on the dining table next to him. Zhao Shu didn't have the concept of hierarchy in ancient times, he only knew that his daughter-in-law had done so much for herself, and now she finally got up earlier than him, so she did it for her.
After getting these things done, Zhao Shu stood in front of his palace, staring at the distant sky for a while, and enjoying the snow scene of the Northern Song Dynasty Imperial City boredly for a while, but he didn't pay attention to any of the soldiers on duty. But the eyes that looked at them were full of different emotions than before.
They are all their own siblings, and they are going to live and die with them on this trip, licking blood with their knives. Presumably, they will also swear to protect themselves and Mingyue's thoughtfulness, they are their own personal guards, even if they die, Zhao Shu hopes that they can keep Mingyue and the child in her belly safe.
After a period of cranky thought, Zhao Shu suddenly felt a warm back, and a thick cloak was draped over his shoulders. Zhao Shu looked back, it was Mingyue, still this girl with a careful heart, I don't know when she got up, but to Zhao Shu's surprise, Mingyue walked behind him and didn't notice it at all.
Zhao Shu looked at Mingyue and smiled slightly, the autumn waves surged, and Mingyue also raised the corners of Zhao Shu's lips upwards, and also smiled slightly. The two didn't speak, Zhao Shu stretched out his palm and gently stroked Mingyue's slightly bulging lower abdomen, and Mingyue's hand was also on Zhao Shu's hand.
Just when the two looked at each other affectionately and were silent, a rush of footsteps came into Zhao Shu's ears from far and near, and then a eunuch shouted at the throat of a male duck: "His Royal Highness the King of the County!" Holy Command, please go to the queen's dormitory, the emperor and the queen have been waiting for a long time! ”
Zhao Shu was stunned, and looked back, this person was Liu Yuan, a eunuch who had served Song Huizong all the year round, Zhao Shu did not rush to deal with Liu Yuan, but turned to Mingyue and said: "You wait for me, go and go back!" ”
Mingyue nodded, and didn't speak, Zhao Shu said to Liu Yuan: "Got it, Gonggong Liu, lead the way ahead!" ”
To be honest, although Zhao Shu, the queen's bedroom, has been to the Song Dynasty for so long, because Zhao Shu is a parent, he has to go to the queen to say goodbye, but Zhao Shu feels that he rarely goes there because he has nothing to do with Queen Xiansu, so Zhao Shu is very unfamiliar with the environment of the queen's bedroom. On the contrary, it was Liu Yuan, this living map, which ran to almost every corner of the imperial city.
Zhao Shu followed Liu Yuan, walked for less than a quarter of an hour, and came to the palace of Queen Xiansu, probably because Zhao Shu is the only son of the queen, so when Song Huizong arranged the palace for Zhao Shu, it was not too far from the queen's bedroom, and it was also convenient for the queen to take care of.
It's just that in the past few months, Zhao Shu doesn't know what the queen is busy with, since he is an only son, why is the queen coming to see him so pitifully. Maybe there are some rules in the palace, if there is nothing to do, the concubines in the palace can only stay in the palace and cannot go anywhere.
Zhao Shu shook his head and didn't think about these things, after all, he still had to go to see Song Huizong and the empress, and if he wanted to open the mansion, he had to pass them. Now it's time to try to please them, and don't make any more forks.
Walking into the queen's bedroom, the bedroom is not as luxurious as described in later novels and film and television dramas, to be precise, it is quite simple. But while being simple, it is solemn and domineering, after all, this is the queen's bedroom, where the phoenix's nest is located.
The inside of the dormitory is not as serious as above the court, but when he saw Song Huizong sitting on the side of the couch with Empress Xiansu, and saw Zhao Shu coming, Zhao Shu actually showed a trace of kindness from his face, Zhao Shu felt that it was his own delusion? But after all, this is the father of dozens of children, and Zhao Shu no longer thinks about anything.
"The sons and daughters knock to see the father and the emperor, and the queen mother, please say hello to the father and the queen mother, long live the father, long live, As he spoke, Zhao Shu knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Song Huizong laughed loudly and said, "Haha! Shu'er doesn't have to be so formal, this is in your mother's bedroom, but also in our own home, unlike the court, where everything has to pay attention to etiquette. ”
After that, Song Huizong helped Zhao Shu up. Zhao Shu was also too lazy to be hypocritical, he was tired, and he stood up unceremoniously with the momentum of Song Huizong.
"Shu'er, I heard your father say that you have been appointed as the minister of the Qin Mission, and are you ready to leave for Liangshan to recruit peace?" As soon as Song Huizong sat back, Empress Xiansu's voice sounded at the same time, with a slight hint of reproach in her voice, but she was more worried about Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu didn't want to hide anything from his mother, although she was too lazy to meddle in the affairs of the court and rarely asked, but after all, it was her son who went on the expedition, and Song Huizong would say it to her anyway.
"Queen Mother Shengming, that's exactly the case!" Zhao Shu said without concealment.
Empress Xiansu didn't continue to say anything, just sighed with melancholy, and now, Song Huizong was a little unhappy and said, "Why sigh? Shu'er's trip is an honor for your Zheng family, and it also adds a badge to my Zhao family tree. Since the founding of Emperor Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty, Taizu and Taizong were born as military generals, and it is nothing to drive the imperial conquest, although the first emperor Zhenzong has not done military affairs, however, under the strong advice of the heavenly official Kou Zhun, he personally conquered Lanzhou, broke the Liao people, and won a lot of face for my Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time made the peace between my Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao lasted for more than 100 years. But since the first emperor Zhenzong, not to mention any generation of kings who have personally marched on expeditions, even if the royal family has led troops to go on expeditions, they have never appeared. My father is now old, old and sick, and he can't stand the fatigue of traveling and driving, and he can't lead the troops to go on the expedition. ”
I don't know why, Song Huizong actually moved out the pile of old antiques of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and it seems that Song Huizong was very happy about his expedition to recruit An Liangshan.
Zhao Shu burst into tears unconsciously, pity the hearts of parents in the world, although they are not their biological parents, but it really makes Zhao Shu's heart feel very sour and warm, although he is an out-and-out faint king, but the love of parents in the world has nothing to do with these. Father's love is great and deep, and Zhao Shu experienced it again in the Song Dynasty.
He had already come up with the idea of rectifying the dynasty for Song Huizong. But another idea also sprouted, since Song Huizong was so happy, why not take advantage of the fire to rob? In this way, it is saved to see Cai Jing to sell favors, but now Zhao Shu's heart is still wavering.
