This Song Dynasty is different

Chapter 47 Zhao Dezhao’s Curse
The Tibetan envoys recently realized something was wrong.

He finally got the opportunity to meet with the officials of the Song Dynasty. According to past practice, the officials of the Song Dynasty would sympathize with the situation of Tubo and provide some money and food support.

But this time the officials of the Song Dynasty were a little impatient and said... Tubo should shake hands with the Dangxiang Li family and make peace. If they are willing, the Song Dynasty can send envoys to bring the two parties together.

Tubo and the Li family were competing for territory, and their brains had long been beaten into dog brains.What kind of handshake and peace is impossible unless the party members are moved thousands of miles away!
The messenger wept.

It stands to reason that officials in the Song Dynasty would sigh, sigh, and feel soft-hearted.

The messenger is waiting.

"The Song Dynasty felt the same thing about what happened to Tibet, but the landlords...the Song Dynasty didn't have any surplus food!" The officials of the Song Dynasty muttered as if they had said something wrong: "It's all the fault of Marquis Dingyuan.", and then said with a straight face, "It's all the same. Be good."

Everything will be fine. Just saying this, the messenger was brought out.

He looked back at the palace, his head was dizzy from the sun, and he blurted out: "Did the official family change?"

This sentence made the chamberlain who led the way furious. Later, officials from Honglu Temple came to the door and scolded the envoy sternly.

The messenger was confused and felt something was wrong.

However, Zhao Zhen proudly told Li Xian his attitude towards the Tibetan envoys.

"...The messenger looked so lost that he even forgot to salute. From this, I knew that I had to give them a stick first and then talk to them about etiquette."

"Then do you know why you want to give me a stick first?" Li Xian sat down and waved to Zhang Ze, "Hurry up and get cold tea, preferably iced."

You really treat me here as your own... Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes, "First give me a stick, just to tell them that the Song Dynasty is very powerful, don't mess with me. Then if you treat each other politely, they will only be trembling and walking on thin ice... Hey! I thought about it, isn't this the way an emperor treats his ministers?"

It seems that Zhenzong still taught him some emperor skills.

Li Xian nodded, "If an emperor is too kind to his ministers, he will be looked down upon. If a country is too kind to the outside world, it will be seen as weak and can be bullied. Therefore, you should use both hard and soft, both soft and hard."

Later, Zhao Zhen went to see the Queen Mother and said these words.

"Madam, is this the art of an emperor?" Zhao Zhen looked at the Queen Mother eagerly.

The Queen Mother has always said that he does not understand the art of the emperor and will only be deceived by his ministers in the future.

He didn't believe it and kept holding back his anger to impress the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother glanced at him and said, "Yeah!"

"I'll just say, I'll just say..." Zhao Zhen was in high spirits.

"What did you say?" the Queen Mother asked dissatisfiedly, subconsciously thinking of the family law.

"I just said that Marquis Dingyuan must know this, but he just didn't bother to tell others in the past." Zhao Zhen sighed, and the Queen Mother asked curiously: "Why are you so depressed again?"

"Madam, I'm thinking that he is so unwilling to show off his temperament, but he often makes exceptions for me. I know that it will be very uncomfortable to act against my own wishes, but he has never been dissatisfied."

Zhao Zhen's eyes turned red.

The Queen Mother knew that he was soft-hearted and affectionate, so she comforted him: "Just treat him well from now on."

"He disdains the powerful. From now on, I will make him look down on the princes and despise the powerful!"

The Queen Mother looked at him and said for a long time: "Okay."

……

What Zhao Zhen didn't know was that the general character and fate of the emperors and generals of the Song Dynasty, including him, were one-way and transparent to Li Xian.

Therefore, in his eyes, the ministers and ministers who were respected by the outside world were just a group of old men with their own shortcomings.

"I will definitely let you underestimate the prince from now on!" Zhao Zhen was worried that he would forget his oath, so he found a time to tell Li Xianzheng'er.

"Hmm!" Li Xian looked at a painting on the table casually.

"Hey!" Zhao Zhen was angry, "I'm talking seriously."

"What are you talking about?" Li Xian raised his head, "Aren't you here to appreciate the painting? This painting is good, how about you lend it to me for a few days?"

"Okay." Zhao Zhen nodded subconsciously. Li Xian rolled up the painting and ran away. Zhang Ze stamped his feet behind him, "Guan family, the two paintings that Marquis Dingyuan took away last time have not been returned!"

Only then did Zhao Zhen remember and rushed out shouting: "If you borrow something, you must return it..."

"It's so difficult to borrow again!" Dingyuan Hou Yiqi Juechen.

Until he bumped into the Queen Mother and his party.

The Queen Mother seemed to be in a good mood today, wearing a long purple dress, and there were several young ladies following behind her.

"How unbecoming it is to run around in a restricted area!" the Queen Mother said with a straight face.

"It's hot, I'll run around to cool off." Li Xian pointed to the sky.

Later, rumors spread outside that Marquis Dingyuan was unaware of the cold and heat.

"It's just a rumor." Li Xian was furious when a Taoist came to ask for advice on cultivation methods that were ignorant of the cold and heat.

"Why don't you, sir, bare your upper body, go out and shout a few times, and all the rumors will disappear." Di Qing suggested seriously.

"Today's homework is doubled!" Li Xianyin said sadly: "At such a young age, I don't know much about anything else, so I have a lot of bad ideas."

Di Qing looked sad, while Xinghua clapped her hands and applauded.

"Woof woof woof!" Laifu shouted outside.

Wang He opened the door and saw a strange man, so he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The man looked past him and glanced inside, "Is the Marquis here?"

"Here!" Wang He nodded and turned his eyes to the left, where there was a carriage.

The man turned around and said respectfully: "Han Siyan, we're here."

The curtain of the car was opened by the accompanying palace maid, and a female official in her teens got out of the car. She raised her head and said with a serious face, "Is the Marquis Dingyuan here?"

The man nodded, "Yes.", and then said to Wang He: "Tell Marquis Dingyuan that Han Siyan is coming from the palace." Li Xian was puzzled after hearing the news, and when he saw Han Siyan, he couldn't help but be stunned.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl stood in the courtyard with her hands behind her hands, a look of impatience on her face.

Years of experience in being beaten up by society told Li Xian that this female official probably had some background and was probably used by the Queen Mother.

What did the old lady want to do with this female official?
You can figure it out with your thighs.

"I'm a little dizzy!" It's not like Li Xian never thought about finding a wife, but there's no chance these days!He couldn't squat on both sides of the imperial street and look at the passing women. If he liked her, he could just drag her home!

The female officer snorted coldly, "As the Queen Mother said, she will shirk and pretend. My name is Han Wei, Shang Gong Siyan. I have been ordered to come out this time to tell some news about women."

As expected, Li Xian knew he couldn't escape, so he appointed: "Please."

The two of them went in and sat down, and Xinghua served tea.

Han Wei turned her eyes, glanced at Xinghua a few times, and nodded to the accompanying palace attendants.

"Master Hou."

"Han Siyan is polite." Li Xian nodded, just wanting to fool him.As for the future, let’s talk about it.

Han Wei sat upright, "There are two women this time. One of them is the youngest daughter of Xiao Mingzhong, the minister of household affairs. This daughter is 16 years old. She is good at needlework and can also take care of the kitchen... However, she does not like to recite poems and write lyrics. She is older. Yeah..." She glanced at Li Xian and said, "Not bad."

"Have you seen it?" Li Xian knew as soon as he heard it that he was not his cup of tea.

"I've seen it, last time..." Han Wei shut up and glared at Li Xian.

This girl is a bit naughty!
"The second one is the eldest daughter of Ma Chong, a Hanlin scholar. This daughter likes reading the most and keeps reading books all day long. I think..." Han Wei looked at Li Xian, "She may be a good match for the Marquis."

When she returns home every day, her wife sits by the window and reads a book intently. When she wakes up, she is surprised and asks, "My husband is back?"

Then, when the couple goes to bed at night, the wife won't let go of the book, and the man rubs the skin next to her until he feels as if his heart is dying...

Li Xian shuddered, "Why do I feel like someone is trying to harm me?"

Han Wei should have explained, but she nodded and said approvingly: "No, stupid literary women who study all day long are the most boring. Even I am not willing to date."

"Han Siyan is really insightful." Li Xian felt as if he had met a confidant.

"It's just these two women this time." Han Wei stood up and left.

Back in the palace, Han Wei went to the Queen Mother to return her life.

"The first Marquis Dingyuan remained calm, but the second Marquis Dingyuan said he was too bored," Han Wei said.

"He is picky." The Queen Mother said calmly: "Don't you want me to find a fairy for him?"

Han Wei resigned and took leave later to leave the palace, but went straight to a mansion.

"Is my brother-in-law here?" Han Wei went in and asked. The maid who came to greet him smiled and said, "The husband is here! My wife is also here."

Han Wei walked all the way into the backyard, sniffed and shouted, "Brother-in-law, are you barbecuing again?"

"Keep your voice down!" Following the voice, Zhao Yunrang poked his head out from behind the tree and waved, "Hurry, I've left a chicken drumstick for you."

This is the grandson of Emperor Taizong, the famous spare tire Zhao Yunrang, who was 28 years old at the time.

When Zhenzong's eldest son died in infancy, Zhenzong was worried that his heirs would be in trouble, so Zhenzong took Zhao Yunrang into the palace to raise him in case of emergency.

He was about to become the prince. Who knew that Zhenzong would give birth to a prince, who is now the official Zhao Zhen, so he sent Zhao Yunrang back to the palace.

Han Wei took the chicken leg and said while chewing: "Brother-in-law, let me find out who that is..."

"That lunatic Zhao Yuanyan."

"Yeah!" Han Wei swallowed the chicken, "Prince Ding has frequently brought gifts to the palace recently, and he also comes. Every time he enters the palace, he will definitely pay homage to the Queen Mother. He is very respectful."

Zhao Yunrang narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

"Brother-in-law, why are you asking him?" Han Wei finished eating the chicken legs and took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands.

"Just curious." Zhao Yunrang hesitated, and after Han Wei left, he quietly left the house.

When he appeared again, it was in the study of Ding Wang Zhao Yuanyan.

"What are you doing here?" Zhao Yuanyan sneered.

Zhao Yunrang knelt down and took a sip of tea, then asked: "No poison?"

Zhao Yuanyan took a sip of tea, pointed at him and shouted: "Get out!"

Zhao Yunrang did not give face to his uncle. He drank tea slowly and said calmly: "My horse suddenly went crazy a while ago. Fortunately, I jumped fast, otherwise he would have died or become disabled. Later I asked someone to check and found out what the horse had eaten. There is something in the material that can drive him crazy. I thought for a long time that the Queen Mother and the officials would not do anything to me. Looking around, you are the only one with this motive!"

"Why did I kill you?" Zhao Yuanyan asked sarcastically.

"Kill me, and my family will be separated immediately. Those sons will form their own families, and naturally no one will pay attention to them in the future."

"So what?" Zhao Yuanyan said coldly.

"If the palace once again selects someone to enter the palace to prepare for the crown prince, only your family and I have hope." Zhao Yunrang raised his head, with a cold look in his eyes, "Kill me, and your family will be the only one left."

"What do you want to say?" Zhao Yuanyan clenched the tea cup.

"The late emperor almost died of an heir. Now that the official family has come to terms with men and women, there is still no movement in the hearts of those women." Zhao Yunrang's eyes darkened.

"Before he committed suicide, Zhao Dezhao cursed that this branch of Emperor Taizong would kill off his descendants!"

Zhao Dezhao, the second son of Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

The eldest son of Taizu died young.

Because of some things that happened after the Northern Expedition, Zhao Dezhao was scolded by Taizong and returned home to commit suicide.
