Song Dynasty female artist

On the fifth day of April, Zhao Rui was officially crowned prince.

Moving to the East Palace from now on.

Although Cao Yuyan felt sad in her heart, she also knew that one day her child would leave her when he got older. Just because he moved to the East Palace, it was not like he wouldn't be able to see him for a long time, so he didn't feel much loss.

After the crown prince was appointed, Gu Qingjue was immediately announced as the crown prince's grand master.

Cao Yuyan did not expect that His Majesty would really choose him.

I thought His Majesty was just testing her when he asked her. Could it be that he was really just asking her?

There is a prince in the court, and the ministers feel much more at ease.

Even though it was reported from time to time that His Majesty was in poor health, he was not that worried.

Fast forward four years.

Your Majesty's health is deteriorating.

It was August of the sixth year of Jiayou, and the summer heat had not completely dissipated. At this time, Zhao Zhen had been ill for three months. If not for the superb medical skills of Dr. Tong, he would have left Hexi long ago.

"Father."

Zhao Rui sat in front of the bed and took the decoction from Fu Ji: "Father, I will serve you the decoction."

Zhao Zhen was helped up by Gong Bi, half leaning on the pillow.

"Ruier..."

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Rui lovingly.

After being ill for several months, the prince supervised the country. Ministers came to report to him every day, praising the prince for his shrewdness and ability.

"Rui'er, my father's time is running out. From now on, you will be the one to decide the world."

"With Imperial Doctor Tong here, my father will definitely get better. I am still waiting for my father's guidance!"

Zhao Zhen smiled.

Even laughing now is useless.

However, he still asked the prince to finish feeding the soup.

After the prince left, Zhao Zhen asked Fu Jixuan, Han Qi, Fubi, Gu Qingjue and others to enter the palace.

Funing Palace
Han Qi wrote it and His Majesty dictated it, and wrote the edict of succession.

I don't know why, but after Zhao Zhen wrote the imperial edict, his health was better than before. Not only did he have an appetite for eating, but he was also able to get out of bed and move around.

Zhao Rui is really happy.

"Father, when you are well, you can bring your sons and ministers to court together."

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Rui dotingly: "You are already sixteen years old. Even without me, you can still take charge of your role. From now on, the world of the Song Dynasty will ask you to shoulder this heavy responsibility."

"Father, there are still sons and ministers here!"

Zhao Yu came with Zhao Rui this time.

Zhao Zhen nodded, took the hands of the two brothers, and put them together: "Yes, this country will be guarded by you two brothers. No matter what happens in the future, you two brothers must not be suspicious of each other."

"My son understands. Father, don't worry!"

Zhao Rui held Zhao Yu's hand: "My son, I will protect Brother Four Emperors."

Zhao Yu smiled heartily: "I will also protect my fifth brother."

Many years later, the two brothers stood at the highest point overlooking the great rivers and mountains they governed. They could still face each other without guilt. They kept the promise they made to their father when they were young and supported each other without suspicion.

On the 19th day of the winter month of the sixth year of Jiayou's reign, Zhao Zhen passed away. His temple name was Renzong and he was buried in Yongzhao Mausoleum.

On the 22nd of the winter month of the sixth year of Jiayou, Zhao Rui succeeded to the throne and changed his reign name to Zhenzhi. AD 1062 was the first year of Zhenzhi.

Start here.

It is completely different from the previous life.

Even Su Yixin, who is reborn, will not be able to refer to where it will develop in the future.

After Zhao Rui succeeded to the throne, Gu Qingjue was directly promoted from Crown Prince to Imperial Master.

Thirty-two-year-old imperial master.

It should be unprecedented and unparalleled.

The new king trusted the emperor's master very much and often discussed major affairs of the court with him and several central ministers in the inner palace.

The Song Dynasty had strong troops and horses, and in August of the second year of Zhengzhi, they recovered Xixia.

In March of the fourth year of Sadaji, Dali was recaptured, and the next goal was Daliao. However, in three or four years, troops were raised twice, and the people's lives were not as easy as before. If they wanted to deal with Daliao, they had to take into account people's livelihood.

At this time, Zhao Rui could not be said to be a qualified emperor, but he was considered good enough. After all, he was only sixteen years old and had a promising future.

If there is no war, it is time to get married.

Nowadays, not only is the queen's position vacant, but there are also no concubines, which is great.

When the late emperor passed away, the prince was still young at that time, so no one mentioned it. Now that three years have passed, it is enough for the children of the people to observe filial piety.

The top priority is to get married as soon as possible, decide on the queen's position, and spread the branches and leaves.

The Queen Mother is also anxious.

In fact, since last year, she has begun to pay attention to girls of the right age from various prefectures.

But since His Majesty came back from this personal expedition, he was not interested in any of the women she proposed. If he wasn't interested before, he didn't refuse, and just said that he would listen to his mother. But now, he just said no.

No, then he should say which girl he likes.

"Rui'er, you are already sixteen years old. It's time to become a queen. If you have a girl you like, just say so."

"Mother..."

Zhao Rui hesitated to speak.

He didn't want to say it, but it would be useless if he did. The girl was not interested in him.

"If you don't marry, what about Yu'er?"

Zhao Yu was eating when his mother suddenly called him. He blinked and said, "What did the queen say?"

Cao Yuyan smiled and said, "How about the queen choose a wife for Yu'er?"

"What is a wife?"

"A wife is someone who can accompany you for the rest of your life. You and she will have your own children. Do you like it?"

Zhao Yu asked doubtfully: "Queen mother, can't you and your fifth brother stay with Yu'er for the rest of your life?"

"Neither the queen mother nor your fifth brother can do it. Only your wife can always stay with you."

"But my father hasn't always been with my mother!"

Cao Yuyan: "..."

She was speechless!

The late emperor was eight years older than her, so it was normal for him to leave before her.

But Zhao Yuke couldn't explain this clearly.

"The wife your mother has found for Yu'er can stay with you for the rest of your life. Do you want her?"

Zhao Yu saw that his mother was looking forward to it, so he nodded: "Okay, then let's help Yu'er choose one."

Zhao Rui granted Zhao Yu the title of King An.

He was granted a marriage to Bai Chengnan's second daughter Bai Yaru, and the wedding was scheduled for March of the next year.

King An's marriage was settled, and the ministers in the court urged the marriage more and more fiercely.

But Gu Qingjue's complexion did not improve.

Unbeknownst to others, the couple knew in their hearts that His Majesty had not been a queen because of Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao and Zhao Rui are the same age.

In the battle with Dali, Zhao Rui was on the battlefield personally, and Gu Yanxiao was also there at the time. He didn't know why the two came into contact. He only found out after the war ended and Zhao Rui tried to find out what he said.

Logically speaking, he should be happy that his daughter can be the queen.

But once he becomes a queen, he will have to endure his husband's three palaces and six courtyards. As a father, of course he does not agree.

After knowing this, Yixin asked Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao also has feelings for Zhao Rui, but she has not yet thought about becoming the queen for Zhao Rui.

After Zhao Yu got married, there were one after another rumors urging him to get married.

Someone even rushed to the Queen Mother.

There are no girls of marriageable age in this human race. This is not for the glory of one's own family, but for His Majesty's sake. Cao Yuyan cannot blame her.

"Emperor, you have been on the throne for five years. It will be unjustifiable if you do not establish a queen." (End of Chapter)
