Extra: Growth (1)
In July of the twelfth year of Yuanzhen, Zhao Mingming rode on a horse and left Bohai County to return to Beijing under the protection of Zeng Yue and Fan Ying.
Shi Le led the subordinate officials and generals of Youzhou to stand at the gate of the city to see each other off, and did not withdraw his gaze until the team was far away and could not see the honor guard representing the imperial princess.
When the subordinate officials dispersed, Shi Le couldn't help but sigh with Zhang Bin, "She is really a dragon son and a phoenix grandson, and she is too much like the emperor." The wolf cub has grown up and is still very fierce.
Zhang Bin said with a smile: "The empress dowager is smart and the country is consolidated, which is a great thing."
Shi Le was in a complicated mood and muttered, "If her mother's forbearance and generosity were missing, she would be more like her father."
Zhang Bin said with a smile: "Envoy, the imperial daughter is only ten years old this year, the child of this age is imaginative and high-spirited, you will look at it in ten years, but the lower officials feel that she is more soft-hearted, and she will only be more benevolent than Your Majesty." "Charity?" Shi Le sneered and said, "Benevolence is a fart, to be benevolent, you have to be on the right path, and being soft-hearted on the wrong way will only harm good people and cheapen good people." In this battle with Xianbei in the east, is the emperor benevolent? If you want me to say, you should let go of the army and rush over, those tribes in the east, dozens of famous and nameless, a village for a hundred miles, no sound, no etiquette, rich or not, as long as they are idle, they will go south to rob us, this kind of person I am most familiar with, only
Beat the pain and destroy their race, and they will remember the lesson."
So he wanted to let go of the massacre, but the queen daughter came to supervise the army and saw that those people were soft-hearted, and only captured the matter, but did not kill.
Zhang Bin smiled at him, knowing that although he was not very happy, he didn't really mind.
It's a good thing that the empress dowager kept those captives, she really watched the army kill those people, not to mention him, but she was afraid that Shi Le would mumble in her heart.
I'm only 10 years old.
Who can kill so many people in a pit with a hard heart that does not change their face?
It is better for the next monarch to be merciful than brutal, not to mention that this queen lady can go to the front line to supervise the war at a young age, and she is not frightened by the bloodshed of the battlefield, nor is she blindly merciful, which is very good.
said that the war was just for the sake of sound, Zhao Hanzhang sent her out so that she could have a long understanding and know that this world is not as peaceful and prosperous as Luoyang sees.
Ten-year-old Zhao Mingming is very smart and grows faster than her peers, which also makes her too proud and confident.
Even if Zhao Hanzhang takes her to the grassroots every year and lets her experience the hardships of the people, she is still "a little tall", which is a bit similar to Zhao Shen's appearance when he was young.
Does Zhao Shen really change now, or let Zhao Hanzhang think that he has changed She doesn't know, but she absolutely can't let her daughter, the future emperor of Huaguo, be so high.
Although he made the appearance of a corporal of courtesy, although he was also merciful and loving, he had a kind of arrogance that was not like a person, but like a god.
Before becoming a man, he wants to become a god directly, how can such a person be a good emperor?
Even if it is the Jade Emperor, before becoming the Emperor of Heaven, he must first be a good person for a long time, and he must first have humanity before he can achieve divinity.
So after thinking about it, Zhao Hanzhang simply asked Zeng Yue and Fan Ying to take her to Liaodong and let her see the essence of this world.
This world is not all like Luoyang, it is not only what we see with our eyes, nor is it just the words and numbers we see in intelligence.
It's only been three months, when Zhao Mingming returned to the capital, his face had taken off a lot of childishness, although he still had unlost baby fat on his face, the whole person was a lot more down-to-earth, and his eyes were more resolute than before.
She rode her pony into the imperial city, and the officials and guards who walked on the avenue saw her and saluted slightly, and when she had passed, they straightened up and met each other's eyes, "The imperial lady is back—"
Zhao Hanzhang received the news of her return in advance, but did not send someone to pick her up, but asked her to enter the palace to report the matter like an ordinary official who came back from a business trip.
Her horses could enter the Imperial City, but not the Imperial Palace.
The group dismounted at the gate of the palace, and Zeng Yue and Fan Ying accompanied her to face the saint.
Many ministers who withdrew from the early dynasty saw the queen lady who had returned, and couldn't help but stop and turn their heads to look
。
Many people looked up and watched her walk into the main hall, whispering, "The princess has changed a lot."
"The battlefield is really urging people to make progress, Your Majesty is also relieved, it is Liaodong, not only is there no eyes for swords and guns, but there may also be epidemics."
"The young eagle will eventually grow up, and if you don't take advantage of this opportunity to cultivate your bones, how can your wings be full enough to support the storm in the future?"
"Yes, those who achieve great things must experience setbacks and suffer their minds." The bitter queen is still the bitter people in the world, they choose the bitter queen and the princess.
Zhao Shen walked by, glanced at them when he heard the words, and sneered in his heart, he really knew who was crying in the main hall three months ago, opposing the emperor sending the imperial daughter to Liaodong.
A pair of emperors letting the imperial princess go is shaking the country's foundation, and there is a suspicion of replacing the heir.
The empress dowager left Beijing for three months, and the official documents discussing the enlightenment of the Second Highness were all over the emperor's desk.
Now that Liaodong has won a big victory, the performance of the princess is remarkable, so they immediately changed the direction of the wind.
Zhao Shen sneered in his heart, but his face was serious and upright, and when he caught a glimpse of them looking over, he immediately looked ahead, as if he hadn't heard anything, passing by them.
He was only transferred back to Luoyang from Guangzhou at the beginning of the year, and although he was proud of his great achievements in Guangzhou, he had stayed in Guangzhou for ten years, and he really stayed enough!
He wants to play in Luoyang for three years, and if he can't achieve this goal, he decides to be sick for a year or two, and then choose whether to re-enter officialdom depending on the situation.
In ten years, Zhao Shen has figured out a lot of things.
He is ambitious, but it seems, he can have more than one ambition, why does he have to tie himself to one goal?
There are so many unknowns in this world, he has infinite doubts and enthusiasm for them, why can't he let go of everything and choose from his heart to find the answers to his doubts?
The emperor always said that he lacked something as a man and an official, so he did not dare to hand over the court responsibilities to him, and for ten years, he has been trying to understand what she means and do what she expects.
But after ten years, he didn't find the path she wanted him to take, but he figured out another way, isn't he a good official?
As a thorn history, didn't he govern Guangzhou well?
Didn't he civilize the people and preach good morals?
Didn't he be honest and honest, rectify the rule of officials, and implement the policies of the imperial court?
He's done it all, so why think he's not doing it well?
There are thousands of people in the world with a thousand faces, he just can't change it, no matter what he thinks in his heart, no matter what he thinks in his heart, can't I do it? Zhao Shen realized that he had realized, so he no longer embarrassed himself, at this time, he also had a solemn face, and his heart was frantically complaining about everyone he saw, this situation lasted for more than half a year, and he never stopped since the day he returned to Beijing, not to mention, although he didn't say it, but he was also very happy in his heart.
