"The teaching of the Naval Academy is completely different from that of the Army, in addition to taking some theoretical courses, most of their time is in the Navy for internship, not only to be familiar with the operation of ships and changes in the conditions of the ocean, but also to be proficient in the command of naval warfare, so Jia'er must be running around with the Navy at this time, it should be unlikely to meet the second brother, right?" Zhao Yan replied to Cao Song at this time.

Referring to his eldest son Zhao Jia, Zhao Yan couldn't help but sigh lightly, last time Zhao Jia insisted on entering the Naval Academy in the military academy, Zhao Yan finally agreed helplessly, but the Naval Academy is not in the capital, but set in Guangzhou, after all, there is the sea, and the students in the Naval Academy can operate and practice on the sea ship very conveniently, so Zhao Jia has not seen him for more than half a year.

"That's not necessarily, you also said that Jia'er ran around with the navy, maybe she would go to Yuezhou, and in addition, didn't you also prepare a lot of follow-up programs for Zhao Hao, planning to let him stay in the Nanyang area for a while longer, so that they are more likely to meet." Cao Song said with a smile when he heard this, he really wanted Zhao Hao to see Zhao Jia, only when Zhao Hao saw Zhao Jia, he would understand that he was not only inferior to Zhao Yan, but even Zhao Yan's son.

"Look at the providence, but Jia'er, this kid has been running for half a year, and he only wrote a letter two months ago, your cousin always talks about him at home, and even secretly wipes his tears at night, and I have to write a letter to him and scold him when I go back." At the mention of his son, Zhao Yan missed him even more, but he still said very strongly.

With Cao Song's understanding of Zhao Yan, he naturally knew that he was hard-mouthed, which also made him laugh secretly in his heart, but he didn't pierce Zhao Yan, lest he be annoyed and angry, and then he chatted with Zhao Yan casually. After entering the city, they left separately.

A few days later, Empress Dowager Gao made arrangements for the phases left behind by Sima Guang and Lü Gongzhu after their deaths, and promoted Lü Dafang and Fan Chunren to be prime ministers, both of whom were from famous families, among which Lü Dafang had been an official in the court since his grandfather, and the four of them were all from Jinshi. Known as the four sages of the Lu family, among which Lu Dafang is particularly outstanding, and Fan Chunren is the son of Fan Zhongyan, the famous minister of Renzong, the most generous personality, and not afraid of power, when Wang Anshi changed the law, he pointed out the shortcomings of the new law in person, but was degraded because of this, and later Sima Guang completely abolished the new law. He stood up and said that the new law was not useless, but Sima Guang didn't listen, which made Fan Chunren very helpless, and later complained to Su Shi that Sima Guang was a "bad man", no wonder Wang Anshi and Sima Guang were able to become friends at the beginning, and the personalities of the two were almost carved out of a mold.

Zhao Yan was also very satisfied with the appointment of Lu Dafang and Fan Chunren, both of whom were rare virtuous ministers. The character is not as stubborn as Sima Guang, among which Lu Dafang is square. And Fan Chunren is generous, and the two complement each other. In addition, their prestige was also enough, so after entering the political hall, they quickly calmed down the turmoil in the court.

This day was the day when Zhao Xu left the palace, and before dawn, he got up from the bed, and then asked the palace maid next to him to help him wash and dress. In the end, he ran out of the palace without even eating breakfast, ready to rush to the third uncle Zhao Yan to have breakfast, although the breakfast in the palace was very delicate and the taste was not bad, but he always felt that the breakfast at the third uncle's house was not as fragrant. Especially eating with a bunch of cousins is a very pleasant thing.

However, just as Zhao Xu's carriage came to the gate of the Yue Wang's Courtyard, he saw that the young steward who was guarding the door was pushing the two people out, and said loudly while returning them: "Please go back, the names of the two of you don't know in Tokyo City, I don't see it today, but if you dare to come next time, then don't blame the villain for being unwelcome!" ”

The steward said and drove the two people out of the door, and stuffed the gifts from the other party into their hands, and then ignored the pleas of the two people, and was about to close the door, but then he suddenly saw Zhao Xu's carriage outside the door, and then suddenly thought that today was the day when His Majesty came to class, and immediately opened the door. ”

"It's none of your business, come here, pull them aside for me, so as not to disturb the nobles!" The steward of the king commanded impatiently, and immediately two guards guarding the door came up and pulled aside the two people who were at a loss in front of the door, and then saw the steward of the king trotting to Zhao Xu's carriage and saluted, "Your Majesty, you came really early today, Your Highness probably hasn't gotten up yet." ”

Steward Wang's real name is Wang Cai, originally the son of Wang Qi, the head of Shangshui Village, and one of Zhao Yan's earliest students, but he didn't learn anything, but he was very good at doing things, so he entered the palace to become a steward, and now that Mr. Lu is old, he is no longer in charge of things, Wang Cai has become the internal candidate for the head of the palace, and his knowledge is not comparable to ordinary people, plus Zhao Xu has come more often, so he is not very afraid of Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu often came to Zhao Yan's mansion and was also very familiar with Wang Cai, and at that moment he curiously pointed to the two people who were pulled away and asked: "Steward Wang, those two seem to have come to visit the third uncle, you are such a rude person to drive people away, are you not afraid that the third uncle will blame you in the future?" ”

Zhao Xu knew that Zhao Yan treated people peacefully, and even if the people who came to visit him could not be personally received by him, they would invite them into the mansion for a cup of tea, and they would definitely not kick people out like today, so he asked like this.

"Your Majesty, don't you know, these two people were originally envoys of Goryeo......"

Before Wang Cai's words were finished, Zhao Xu interrupted him in surprise and said, "What, you dare to kick out the envoys of Goryeo?" If the third uncle knows about this matter, you will wait to be punished! ”

"Your Majesty, don't you know, these two Goryeo envoys are already annoying in the capital, and almost all the stewards in the minister's palace are directly driven out with sticks when they see them, and they don't even let them approach the palace gate, and it is very polite for the villain to personally invite them out." At this time, I saw Wang Cai helplessly defending himself.

"Huh? This is strange, what did these two Goryeo envoys do to make people so angry? Zhao Xu asked again in surprise when he heard this, being able to make the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty not welcome them, which made him even more curious about the two Goryeo envoys.

"In fact, the villain thinks that the two envoys are quite unlucky, but the blame is only their luck is too back, some time ago they went to visit Lu Gong and Lu Xianggong, but as soon as they entered the mansion, Lu Xianggong died, and then they went to visit Sima Xianggong, and when they also came to the front of the mansion, Sima Xianggong fell ill, and died after a few days, as a result, after these two things were spread, these two Goryeo envoys were regarded as mourning stars, it is said that whoever they visited, who would be unlucky, so the ministers of the entire capital did not welcome them." I saw Wang Cai patiently explaining.

"Ha......" Zhao Xu couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard this, but thinking that this matter involved the death of the two old ministers, Lu Gongzhu and Sima Guang, it was really inappropriate for him to laugh, so he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wang Cai is a good person, and seeing that Zhao Xu seemed to be very interested in these two Goryeo envoys, he spoke again: "Actually, these two Goryeo envoys have visited His Highness once before, as if they were asking His Highness for something, but His Highness did not agree, so they begged other ministers everywhere, but no one seemed to be willing to help them, but instead fell into the name of the Mourning Star, so this time they turned their heads and begged His Highness, but the villain felt that His Highness definitely didn't want to see them, so he didn't let them in." ”

"I see, it's funny!" Zhao Xu also nodded when he heard this, and then he got out of the car and went into the mansion, first went to find a few cousins to have breakfast, and when he saw Zhao Yan, he immediately told Zhao Yan what he had just seen in front of the mansion, and then inquired about the two Goryeo envoys.

"I didn't expect them to come again, but I can't help with their affairs, so Wang Cai is doing well, so I don't have to bother again." Zhao Yan immediately smiled after listening to Zhao Xu's story, and then told him about the two Goryeo envoys Yin Qian and Zhao Gui who came to see him.

"Our merchants of the Great Song Dynasty are selling people in Goryeo, isn't that a little unpleasant?" Zhao Xu is a child after all, and he has a good heart, and he instinctively rejects it when he hears about human trafficking.

Seeing Zhao Xu's appearance, Zhao Yan also hesitated for a moment before saying to him: "Xu'er, at your age, you shouldn't have told you this, but you are the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, you must understand all kinds of evils in this world, human trafficking is certainly harmful, but for our Great Song Dynasty, this is not a bad thing, and they are not selling the people of our Great Song Dynasty, so there is no need to stop it, of course, if someone dares to hurt the people of the Great Song Dynasty, then there must be no mercy, It is necessary to destroy the other party with the power of thunder, so as to show the majesty of my Great Song. ”

Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Zhao Xu also showed a contemplative expression, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "I understand, what the third uncle means is that I am the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, not the emperor of the Goryeo people, and only the people of the Great Song Dynasty are worthy of my concern, this should be the inner and outer kings that Zhuangzi said, right?" ”

"Yes, Xu'er, you have to understand that this world is very big, and even the emperor's ability is limited, so we sometimes have to give up some things, of course, if you have the ability, you can also include Goryeo in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and then you can do whatever you want." Zhao Yan finally said half-jokingly and half-seriously. (To be continued......)
