Chapter 5 The Happy Life of the Prince
When a baby girl in the palace of the Jin Kingdom cried for the first time in her life, on the West Lake in the Lin'an Mansion of the Song Kingdom, His Royal Highness Zhao Guicheng was sitting lazily on a painting boat, carrying a fishing rod, and fishing near the lake, he did not know that his daughter was born at this moment.
At this time, it was 1219 AD, the summer of the twelfth year of Jiading of the Song Kingdom, and ten months had passed in a blink of an eye, during which Yang Kang did nothing, did not plan to be the emperor of the Song Kingdom, did not think about competing for the hegemony of the martial arts, just lived a lazy life like this, and lived a happy life as the prince of the Song Dynasty.
After returning from the Kaifeng Imperial City, his heart is tired, and he wants to have a good rest, Jiangnan is undoubtedly a good place for cultivation, the prosperous scene of the Lin'an Imperial City, the song and dance of the Song Dynasty royal family, this lazy atmosphere makes him intoxicated, if he used to be a cheetah, always alert to the dangers around him, and fight to the death for his own survival, then at this moment he is a crouching tiger, reined in his minions, and looks harmless to humans and animals.
Yang Kangan kept to himself as the prince of the Song Kingdom, had his own fiefdom and mansion, and lived a leisurely life, he took Zhao Guicheng's mother Quan and younger brother to Lin'an Mansion, and let his younger brother Zhao and Rui enter Taixue, so that he was finally relieved, he liked to boat on the West Lake, just like that, in a daze, and didn't want anything.
This world is pure!
His Royal Highness King Yi thought so, when he was away from the intrigue and killing, he returned to the state of an ordinary person, which made him feel comfortable, not far from him, a girl was reading a book seriously, she was wearing a pair of glasses that were rare in this era, which allowed her to read the handwriting on the book clearly, although her eye disease was cured, but the side effect of myopia was left.
Yang Kang found a craftsman to create this pair of glasses. Glasses have a prototype in this era, but not many people use them, they are not popular, firstly, there are few people who are short-sighted, and secondly, the image is not very elegant, and this era pays attention to etiquette. Look at the other person in the face when you talk, and wearing glasses can be seen as disrespectful.
In the cabin, Xie Yili and Lou Shidao were playing chess, Xie Dacai was proud, a year passed, he was promoted from the Hanlin Academy of the Seven Grades to the Bachelor of the Five Grades, the main responsibility of this official position is to read the scriptures for the emperor, explain the scriptures, although the power is not big. But being able to have direct contact with the emperor has great potential.
Hanlin Academy is considered to be the prime minister's training class, Xie Yili is deeply appreciated by Emperor Zhao Kuo, and is fantasizing that one day in the future he will become the prime minister of the Song State like his grandfather Xie Shenfu, and he can play chess with a small staff member of the Yi Wangfu at this time to give face to that classmate, and he does not know that the small staff opposite was once the prime minister of Dajin State.
Lou Shidao followed Yang Kang out of the Jin Kingdom, and was responsible for sending Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiqiao to the Guangming Peak in the Western Regions. I also have to deal with some Mingjiao affairs, and this round trip is five or six months. After he returned, he hid in the palace of King Yi, incarnated as Mr. Teaching, and was responsible for King Yi's weekday studies.
He looked at the appearance of the emperor's majesty, and was a little worried in his heart, the affairs of the Jin country were undoubtedly a heavy blow to the emperor's majesty, and Lou Shidao vaguely felt that Yelu Chucai's plan before his death might not be to get rid of the emperor's majesty. It is a kind of teacher's teaching to students, just like Yelu Chucai taught the child of Zhao Wangfu back then, as long as that child passes all kinds of tests, he can become a generation of kings.
But these tests are really cruel, and each one is directed at people's hearts. Once you can't hold on, you will be decadent and depressed, and you will be depressed, and you will be depressed, and the emperor at this time has already had this kind of sprouts, and he is used to this kind of lazy days, if the tiger is locked up for a long time, it will become a kitten, and it will never be able to laugh at the mountains and forests again.
At the end of a game of chess, Lou Shidao walked to the deck of the painting boat, came to the side of the emperor's majesty, and looked at him squinting at the sky, the fish hook was floating in the lake, and the fish had already eaten the bait on the hook, but the emperor didn't notice it, just blindly in a daze.
"Lord Wang, how is the harvest?" Lou Shidao asked casually.
"Forty-six fish have bitten the hook, but unfortunately the bait was eaten by the first fish, but the remaining forty-five fish still want to bite and try it, do you say these fish are stupid?" Yang Kang said lazily, "When I see the hook, I always want to bite it, is this greed or curiosity and adventure?"
"It's just foraging!" Lou Shidao said lightly.
"Yes, people are like fish, they live to eat, they will do everything to eat, they have to eat well, they have to keep trying and adventuring. His Royal Highness King Yi sighed, stood up, showed a gentle smile, and asked, "Mr. Lou, which fish do you want to eat?"
"Naturally, it's the one who is willing to take the bait. Master Lou smiled.
"Whether it wants to take the bait or not, this king can catch it. His Royal Highness King Yi said proudly.
He flicked the fishing rod, the fishing line crossed half an arc in the air, and fell into the water, the hook just came to the front of a fish, His Royal Highness raised his hand, and the fish was hooked out of the water, fell on the deck, and jumped on the deck, waiting for it only to become the fate of food.
"Lord Wang, you are cheating. Lou Shidao smiled bitterly.
Emperor Majesty uses martial arts to fish, naturally there is no difficulty, but to be able to master the strength of the fishing line and the hook so accurately, the Guangming Left Envoy knows that the Emperor Majesty's martial arts have improved a lot, since he has cultivated the "Jiuyang True Scripture", the old diseases of his body have been cured, and his martial arts have improved greatly, but he knows that compared with the Emperor Majesty, he is still far behind, and Lou Shidao even feels that the Emperor Majesty may have reached the realm of that peerless master.
"Really?" Yang Kang chuckled, "This king has never been a ruler, but the one who makes the rules. ”
The girl who had been reading raised her head and looked at His Royal Highness King Yi who was saying this, this sentence was not arrogant, but the girl felt that it seemed to be taken for granted, the young man in the sun really had the momentum to control the world and make rules, maybe it was before, maybe it was in the future.
"Don't look at it, let's clean up the fish soup. Yang Kang urged.
The girl was stunned for a moment, she was still immersed in the imagination just now, and after a while she reacted, she took off her glasses, got up and picked up the fish on the deck, walked towards the cabin, took out the stove and began to cook, her movements were very slow, but methodical, and after a while, the rich aroma came to her nose, and a pot of fish soup was ready.
The four of them were eating fresh fish and drinking fish soup on the painting boat, talking about the anecdotes of the government and the opposition in Lin'an Mansion, and enjoying the beautiful lakes and mountains around the West Lake. (To be continued......)
