The poem was recited... It's really not something I can claim as my own work, it's a loss of face for that person.
However, Zhao Xi did not glance at King Runan throughout the entire process.
There is a saying that the greatest insult is to be ignored. Zhao Xie did just that, and although the King of Runan may not have heard this phrase before, I believe his feelings would be no different from those of later generations.
Zhao Xi's poem can't be considered a timeless masterpiece, nor is it his best work. He has never borrowed from famous works before, and at his age, if he were to recite poetry that could be passed down for thousands of years, anyone would suspect him of being insincere.
It's pretty good, just enough to get by and put on a show. He didn't want to be that kind of person... His old man was ruthless, forcing that poor kid into it for over a decade.
Zhao Xi had heard that this unlucky child later became an official and was quite well-regarded.
Tonight is New Year's Eve, to put it bluntly, we're going to play all night. I don't know what these colleagues will do, anyway Zhao Xi doesn't have that possibility.
Although Zhao Xi gave the Empress the courage to disown her six relatives, she still called him back to the inner courtyard at the appointed time.
Take a last reluctant look at the endless joy and twinkling lights of the street, Zhao Xi obediently followed his parents back to the inner courtyard.
He can get away with doing whatever he wants because he has always been obedient and sensible.
It had been many years since Zhao Zhen felt that it was necessary for the emperor and his officials to enjoy themselves together with the common people on Lantern Festival night.
He himself has no talent, over the years on New Year's Eve, he is always a bystander, never participating, and even judging the pros and cons of poetry has nothing to do with him. In short, he is just a spectator on New Year's Eve.
Also because I like watching women's wrestling was scolded by the official... You guys recite poetry, I don't even have a favorite to watch. This is Zhao Zhen's Lantern Festival night over the years.
This year is different! Han Qi and Han Ruoqi's: Good! Very good! Extremely good! have already said, although Xi'er is only four years old, although her poetry can't compare to the officials', but on Yuanxiao night, she has surpassed all the officials.
So he returned to the palace with great satisfaction.
"Xie Lin, what are the answers to those two riddles of Xi'er? Can you find out?"
One riddle was shouted by Han Qi as extremely good, but was regarded as a couplet by others. Another riddle was directly skipped over by the masters. Zhao Zhen returned and was still puzzled and didn't understand.
"Returning home, the first riddle is guessing the riddle."
"Guessing riddles?"
Zhao Zhen also involuntarily clenched his right fist and pounded it against his left palm... Such a mysterious face, has been passed down for thousands of years.
"Another riddle interrupted by the husbands is... cut grass but not eradicate its roots."
What... does Xier mean by this again?
"Chen Lin, have you been paying attention to what's been going on in the palace recently?"
Zhao Zhen didn't want his child to know about those shameful things, or rather, he didn't want his son to know about his own shortcomings.
Returning to the official residence, after the swing rope broke, Wang Ye had inspected all the swings in the palace. On the day Zhu Shi drowned, Wang Ye had sent Zhong Zheng to inquire about the guards of the Imperial City and the officials who were on duty and the areas under their care.
Recently before the chaos in the imperial garden, the king's procession passed by the Xu family's palace on his way to the Imperial Academy.
Huang Cheng Si... can't handle serious matters, but they're quite meticulous when it comes to Zhao Xi's attention. It's not like they have a choice, after all, Zhao Xi is the top priority, and that's how Zhao Zhen arranged it too.
"Big companion, do you think the story is related to Xi'er?"
A loud voice accompanied this, indicating that he was no longer an emperor at this moment, but wanted Chen Lin to say something personal.
Pitiful, being an emperor has made him a lonely and isolated person, and he can only be a lonely and isolated person. Although Zhao Zhen's behavior has always been tolerant, he is still a lonely and isolated person.
"Returning to the official residence, the king's intelligence cannot be measured by ordinary people. The old slave thinks that it is absolutely impossible to restrict the king..."
"Dai Bo, I only have this one child, and the idea of passing on the great unity is not to be taken lightly. How could I possibly guard against Xi Er? Don't you dare speculate, if Xi Er can do such things, my joy is not enough to reveal my intentions, how could there be any restrictive meaning?"
Some things Chen Lin also hid and reported to Zhao Zhen in a truncated version.
The heart of an emperor, who can understand? He just rarely saw the Zhao royal family appear again with a figure like Taizu and Taizong, fearing that the officials would be on guard and restrict the prince's actions.
To be honest, even Chen Lin couldn't help but admire the way Wang Ye handled these few matters.
He had all the personal attendants of the Imperial City Guards disposed of... No choice, nothing is more important than letting Prince E inherit the throne.
"Returning to the official residence, recently there have been many matters within the palace, although this old slave is foolish and doesn't know the details, I'm afraid they all involve the prince."
"The young master's cleverness is beyond what this old slave can fathom; the old slave only feels that there seems to be some implication, but as for the story, there is still no clue to be found."
Lao Chen Lin just wanted to show... there's nothing for Wang Ye to investigate.
Zhao Zhen glanced at Chen Lin... Had he made those around him feel a sense of crisis? Why did his trusted companion say such things?
Chen Lin has been in the palace since he was a child, from Taizu's usurpation of power, the Golden Coffer Alliance, to the switch of the crown prince, he has heard too many dirty stories about this position, how could he really be unaware and become the emperor's confidant?
"Tomorrow I will go to Cishantang."
Zhao Zhen was very helpless.
Lao Die arrived at Zi Shantang, Zhao Xi was unclear about it.
When a group of people suddenly pushed open the door of Zhao Xi's school building, not to mention Sun Fu, even Zhao Xi was stunned.
Suddenly, he felt a little dazed, and this feeling seemed very familiar... The parents sneaked into the school to check on their children's learning situation and also had an in-depth exchange with the teacher.
Isn't this what some parents in later generations did?
"Your Majesty, gentlemen..."
Sun Fushi bowed and returned the courtesy, but didn't know what to say next.
What's going on? Ming Fu is explaining the Doctrine of the Mean to the king, please clarify. Or are you saying that your child is too clever, I'm happy but also feeling a bit frustrated?
The ceremony is over, and all I can do is stand aside obediently.
"Mr. Taishan, no need for excessive courtesy. I and Sir are here, let's get straight to the point."
Zhao Zhen saw his own son... nothing else mattered.
"Father, gentlemen..."
Zhao Xi could only follow Sun Fu's lead and bow, then like Sun Fu, he didn't know what to say.
These two people suddenly became so estranged that the atmosphere immediately turned cold, and no one knew what to do next.
"Gentlemen, what shall we do tomorrow?"
"Officially, Ming Fu is not confused by the annotations of the classics, he abandons the transmitted teachings to seek the classics themselves, and his writing is a guide for moral use, this is the precursor to the classics and their transmissions."
As for Mr. Fan's praise, Sun Fu felt ashamed and dared not accept it, but he also knew that it was not his turn to speak at this time.
"Granting silver fish and red clothes, approaching Yingge's humble abode to discuss books..."
This was originally Zhao Zhen's purpose for this trip, so it would be best to get everything done quickly and cleanly. He really feared that something unexpected would happen over this trivial matter.
"Yes, I concur..."
"Your Excellency, Mr. Taishan is a great talent, and his reputation matches reality. I think that now with the new policy being implemented, the rural covenant and clan rules are used to rectify the moral standards of relatives. Among them is the meaning of clan education."
"I humbly request that the government establish a clan school for our Zhao Song imperial family, to implement new policies and clarify the meaning of clan rules."
This... Zhao Zhen's intention was to thank his son's teacher, and he had already handled it quite neatly. But this Zhao Yunrang still found an opportunity to make trouble.
