The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1633 Bad News

"Father heard that my uncle is about to lead an army to the Uighurs. My son wants to go with my uncle. My son also wants to see the real battlefield."

When Zhao Weizhong heard that Gao Qiong wanted the Western Regions, he wanted to follow Gao Qiong to the Western Regions. He didn't want to be in the barracks. He might be able to become a general in Zhao Dezhao's barracks, but that was also a toothless tiger. He still hoped to see the truth for a while. battlefield.

"Oh, why is it not good for you to be an idle little prince in the capital? You can take over my position in the future. Isn't that good? On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, can you bear it?"

Zhao Xu didn't agree or disagree, but just looked at his son, not knowing what he was thinking.

"According to what you said, maybe the boy may become your heir, or even the emperor in the future, but the boy doesn't want to be a bird in a cage. Father, when you were my age, you had already achieved something, right?"

Zhao Xu made his debut at the age of 13, and became famous all over the world during the First World War in the Northern Han Dynasty. He and Zhao Kuangyin and his son were well-known far and wide, that is, Zhao Weizhong's age.

"Haha, I must have a good impression of you. It shows that you are quite high-spirited. When I was your age, I already had a certain position in the army. At that time, Zhou Shizong even specially set up a position for me. Marquis Yu, you know, there is no such position as Marquis Yu of the Deputy Capital."

Zhao Xu is very proud. He was already famous all over the world when he was the youngest. This is his glory. Now that he thinks about it, he is even happier than being a prince.

"However, your father and I were in an era of war and chaos. Only when you are strong can you survive, but you don't need it. Your grandfather is the emperor, your father is the prince, and you are the eldest son. You will be the emperor in the future. These things Why are you still doing it?"

After Zhao Xu boasted about his achievements, he quickly changed the subject. His son is noble, so why would he still want to do this.

"I don't want to be a useless person. I want to do something useful for Da Song. I want people to know that I am not only your son, but also prove that I am capable."

Zhao Weizhong is also a bit older, has his own ideas, and wants to gain his own reputation for himself.

"Okay, it's not bad that he is my son. When my grandfather served in the Imperial Army half a year ago, he said that my Zhao family passed on the country by martial arts. You are a descendant of the Zhao family. You want me to agree, and you want you to Convince your mother, and of course your grandpa, then go."

Zhao Xu agrees, but not everyone else agrees, Zhao Weizhong is a baby, even Zhao Xu can't be the master of everything, Zhao Kuangyin is the most difficult one.

"What, why don't I know, Guiying, what you said is true?" Gao Guiying heard that her son was going to the front line, and Zhao Xu had already agreed, so it was useless to argue with Zhao Xu, so he could only come to the palace.

He came to see the queen first, but Zhao Kuangyin was also here. When Zhao Kuangyin heard that his eldest grandson was going to the army, and this army was not an ordinary army, he was going to the front line.

This is no small matter, the front line has no eyes, and if something happens, it will cause trouble.

Because Zhao Weizhong is the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson of the emperor, if there is no accident, he will succeed Zhao Xu as the emperor in the future. If there is an accident with him, it will be a little trouble later. When the eldest son is here, other people have no thoughts , but if there is an accident, there will be competition later, which is not good for the royal family.

It's not that Zhao Kuangyin thought so far, but that he was really afraid of something unexpected happening to his grandson. He could suffer but he would never allow his grandson to suffer like this again. Everyone is like this, right?

"No, I don't agree. As the eldest grandson of the emperor, how can he take risks with himself? No, no matter what, Zhong'er should not be allowed to take risks. The decree Zhao Weizhong and Zhao Weizheng, as the grandsons of the emperor, should set an example and let them go to the Imperial College Read books, please."

Zhao Kuangyin was ruthless enough, so he ordered his own two grandsons to go directly to the Imperial College, so that it would be impossible to go to the front line.

Guozijian is an official school of the central government. Most of the people in it come out and say they are the children of meritorious officials. It is also an honor for them to study in Guozijian. Many people are proud to be able to study in Guozijian.

Sometimes the meritorious officials made meritorious service, and the emperor would order their children to go to the Imperial College, which is also a kind of reward.

Now Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything, and just asked his two grandsons to put them into the Guozijian directly, and it was an imperial edict. I don't know why the imperial edict was issued. When Zhao Xu knew about it, he was helpless.

"See, there is nothing I can do. Now that the imperial decree has been issued, there is nothing I can do. It seems that you are in urgent need of the Imperial College. This will save your mother from worrying."

Zhao Xu looked at the frustrated son in front of him and didn't know what to say. Zhao Kuangyin directly ordered, and he had no choice. Now that the ministers knew that the emperor had put his two grandsons in the Imperial College, they also wanted to let His son and grandson and the eldest grandson of the emperor are getting close!

"Father, Grandpa Huang listens to you the most. If you persuade Grandpa Huang, maybe he can take back the imperial decree. I don't want to go to the Imperial College to study."

Zhao Weizhong really didn't want to study, because what he studied was a bit different from the orthodox Confucianism, and he really didn't want to go to the Imperial College.

"Zhong'er, please remember one thing. The emperor is a man of words, and the imperial decree that came down is impossible to take back. This will damage the prestige of the court. It would be easy if your grandpa didn't make the decree, but now his old man has already decreed it." I can’t disobey it, so you can study with peace of mind, anyway, there will be plenty of time in the future.”

Zhao Xu didn't want his son to go to the front line either. He knew that his emperor's father didn't want him to go, but he didn't expect him to issue an imperial edict.

Zhao Weizhong walked away dejectedly. Zhao Xu was busy with the affairs of the Western Regions, but at this moment something unusual happened, which delayed the Great Song Dynasty's Western Expedition to the Uighurs, because they had bigger interests. The enemy is coming.

That was the Liao country, which had been silent for ten years. They had always lived in peace with Song Dynasty. How could they be enemies with Song Dynasty at this time? Zhao Xu didn't know either.

Because the memorials from the frontier said that the Liao Kingdom seized the customs and killed many soldiers and civilians, and the border general said that the leader of the army this time was Yelu Haowu, the king of the Southern Court, but the fierce soldiers of the Khitan. It seems that they were from the Liao Kingdom. What happened? Otherwise, how could he directly attack Da Song?
