A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Zhao Xu's life in the palace was uneventful. Sometimes he even hoped that someone would come out to challenge him so that he could vent his anger.

Yes, just let off some steam.

Since the last time he was taken to a brothel, the little rookie has learned how to eat marrow and has trouble sleeping at night.

But it is impossible to go to the brothel again. This is Shen An's words. To say that he goes to the brothel again is not to scream, but to be frivolous.

What to do?

When he dreamed back at midnight, he was thinking about the ongoing process of finding his wife.

As the eldest son of the emperor, the future prince and emperor, he must be cautious in choosing his first wife, but he was too cautious, so that his younger brother Zhao Hao said that his wife could not be so entangled, otherwise he would rather find a commoner's daughter.

yes!

Being too cautious will only lead to entanglement, but he can do nothing about it.

Gao Taotao's enthusiasm for finding his eldest daughter-in-law was probably unprecedented. Multiple women... no, multiple girls came into her sight. She looked left and right, which made her sigh with emotion. Dizzy.

This is Zhao Xu's marriage. He is desperate now. He just asks not to be too ugly or too stupid.

"Your Majesty, someone from the official family is here."

Qiao Er came in with a sallow complexion, his body trembling like a candle in the wind, and his eyes full of despair.

After two consecutive days of diarrhea, he felt like his intestines were being pulled out. Fortunately, it was stopped in time last night.

It's okay, but I'm constipated today...

Either he pulls it out or he can’t pull it out. Which god has he offended?

Qiao Er prayed desperately, hoping that the god who made the wrong move would hear his voice and change the target.

For example... Wang Chongnian is not bad. He is strong and eats as much as an ox. It is time for him to give it a try.

Zhao Xu glanced at him, frowned and said, "Why are you so listless?"

"I'm fine." Qiao Er didn't dare to say that he was sick, otherwise he would be taken out, and God knows if he could come back.

No one should be sick around you. This is an iron rule. Even if you are sick, you have to endure it.

"That's good." Zhao Xu ordered, "Let him come over."

After the visitor came in, he reported: "Your Majesty, uncle Cao Guo is performing martial arts in the palace today, and the officials will let you pass."

"Perform martial arts?" Zhao Xu was interested, stood up and said, "Go right away."

Later, he took people to the front, and Zhao Shu had already arrived.

"Da Lang, come here." Zhao Shu looked in good spirits and waved with a smile.

Zhao Xu went over to salute, and then asked: "Guan family, what does this mean?"

"sit."

Normally, there is no seat for Zhao Xu next to Zhao Shu, but Zhao Shu did not have such strict rules and asked someone to set up a block next to Zhao Xu for Zhao Xu to sit down.

"The empress said that Cao Yi is quite talented in military training. He also went to Fuzhou with her and killed the enemy in a battle with the Liao people. I thought that the relatives of the country should not be raised like pigs, so I let him try it. If he is okay, It would be a good story to let him fight in the future if there is a chance."

"The officials are wise."

Zhao Xu couldn't help laughing when he heard him comparing his relatives to pigs.

Zhao Shu glared at him and said, "You should think carefully about these things and how to balance them. This is a problem for the emperor."

Relatives, dignitaries, officials, warriors... How to balance these relationships?

If you have a good balance, you are a wise king; if you have a bad balance, you are probably a coward.

This is a basic skill, and Zhao Shu is teaching his son this knowledge.

Zhao Xu said: "I think the word fairness is enough."

"Simple!" Zhao Shu said dissatisfied: "If it is so simple, how can I be cautious? The relatives of the country are different from the powerful, and the cute ones are different. These need to be broken down more carefully, and you must be familiar with them all, so that you can handle them with ease. …”

Zhao Xu stood up, crossed his hands and said, "Yes, I would like to be taught."

Zhao Shu nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are very smart, which is much better than I was back then. But smart people are afraid of being proud. Once people are proud, they will easily get carried away and make mistakes... so humility is the principle of life."

"yes."

What Zhao Shu said was absolutely correct, but the mistake was that he taught young Zhao Xu from the perspective of an old man.

Young people are full of energy, what does it mean to get carried away? What kind of boy is he not proud of?

Zhao Xu looked very sincere and serious, and Zhao Shu couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling, feeling that his ability to teach children was probably among the best among emperors.

Just looking at Zhao Xu's expression, he suddenly felt a little familiar, so he subconsciously asked: "What should the young man do?"

Zhao Xu was thinking about how proud he was of leading the army to fight. Hearing this, he said: "When the spring breeze is proud, when the bright clothes are angry, the horses..."

Well!

It seems that I said it wrong!

Zhao Xu was speechless for a moment and said what was in his heart. He glanced at his father secretly and saw that his face was as dark as water, and he couldn't help but feel regretful in his intestines.

Zhao Shu said coldly: "Why do you look so sincere and serious? It turns out that you and Shen An are of the same origin. You look honest and kind, but inside you are all fake."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He stood up and walked around twice, and said angrily: "If young people don't learn well, they will learn to be cunning and cunning, and they will learn to pretend to be honest... Whose principle is this? Is it a miscellany?"

"When my father was your age, he studied and wrote articles all day long. What about you? My father was worried that you would follow the same old path, so he let you go in and out of the imperial city. But what did you learn? You just learned to pretend... to be false. …”

He glanced at his son and saw that he had his head lowered, looking very annoyed. He couldn't help but said happily: "Do you know that you are wrong?"

"I know I was wrong."

Zhao Xu admitted his mistake honestly.

Zhao Shu said with satisfaction: "I have to change it in the future... uh! That's all, don't change it."

Fathers basically hope that their children can learn to show off, thinking that this is an essential skill in life, and Zhao Shu is certainly no exception.

So he was embarrassed.

Well done son!

He pretended to be so real. If I hadn't thought that Shen An looked like this, I might not have been able to tell the difference.

Naturally, he won't suffer any disadvantage when facing his ministers in the future. Isn't this good?

Zhao Shu said awkwardly: "Well... from now on... this will be it from now on."

As an emperor, it is basic to have a golden tongue, that is to say, every word he says cannot be regretted.

But Zhao Shu regretted it now.

Zhao Xu raised his head and was moved in his heart, "In the official family, the ministers are not in trouble."

For the sake of his son, Zhao Shu put aside those bullshit golden words. This was his pity for his son.

"Guan family, Uncle Cao Guo is here."

The father and son were enjoying this rare warm moment when Cao Yi came.

He brought sixty people with him, which was not too many and not too little, just within the range.

These sixty men were all wearing armor and holding wooden swords.

Chen Zhongheng whispered: "Guan family, these armors were borrowed by the Cao family from the front office of the palace, and the Privy Council already knows about it."

The emperor of the Song Dynasty was most worried about rebellion, so these must be explained.

Zhao Shu looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

Look around you. Hundreds of subordinates and subordinates are standing below. If those sixty people want to plot rebellion, they must first pass this level.

After saluting, Zhao Shu said: "I don't know what to practice when it comes to martial arts, but the prince is here and he knows more than me, so you can practice them one by one."

This is the foreshadowing.

My son is better than me in martial arts.

This is an affirmation.

Cao Yi glanced at Zhao Xu and felt a little guilty when he remembered that he had been hanging out with Shen An for a long time.

The cannula Shen An got didn't work!

He didn't know, but as a powerful man on paper, he could only trust the famous Song Dynasty general Shen An.

"Get some practice."

Cao Yi stood on the edge with a solemn expression.

The sixty people were divided into two groups and dispersed, standing thirty steps apart from each other.

These sixty people are the foundation of the Cao family, which has been passed down from generation to generation from Cao Bin's time to the present, and they are considered the last asset for a stable life.

The leaders on both sides were white-haired veterans. When Zhao Shu saw him, he asked, "Where did those two people come from?"

Cao Yan stepped forward and said, "Guan family, these two are descendants of the first generation of guards of the Cao family. They also killed enemies on the border back then... with heavy casualties."

This is the Cao family's method of training guards, and it is also the heart of the fist.

Guards who fought on the battlefield and were thrown into a certain army were more than enough to serve as commanders, but they were stuck in the Cao family as guards and had no use.

This is loyalty.

"It was originally intended to be used when the Cao family's children went into battle, right?"

Zhao Shu was very satisfied with Cao Yi's confession, so his attitude became much more cordial.

But this was also taught by Shen An.

——When the officials ask you, just tell the truth. Don’t hesitate, don’t lie. You have to know one thing, that is, you are all the key figures of the Imperial City Division.

Cao Yi did as he was told, and so far the results are good.

Anbei, thank you very much!

Cao Yi felt grateful and said, "Yes, the officials are wise."

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "The Cao family originally wanted to make a difference in martial arts, but later on the children gradually lost their martial prowess. Now that you are of your generation, it is not bad. If I can excel today and have the opportunity to go to war in the future, I will consider."

When Cao Yi heard this, he said happily: "Thank you so much, officials."

Zhao Shu nodded slightly, "Let's get started."

Just now Cao Yan asked them to start practicing, but the two old soldiers didn't move at all. This was an indication of the situation, at least they were better at observing words and emotions than Cao Yan, the head of the family.

Chen Zhongheng walked over and said, "The officials have orders, let's get started."

In an instant, the eyes of the two old soldiers were full of indifference. They looked at each other and shouted: "Kill over!"

There is no formation, no formation, small-scale fighting requires courage!

Zhao Shu asked: "Why is there no formation?"

This question is so embarrassing!

Cao Yan forgot Shen An's explanation and said, "Guan family, this is the minister's negligence."

Zhao Shu felt that he had caught Cao Yi's shortcomings, so he smiled and said: "The empress said that you are familiar with military books. I think you are good at this. You should pay attention to it in the future."

He felt that he could at least give Cao Yi some guidance, and his sense of accomplishment gradually grew.

Zhao Xu frowned and said, "Small-scale fighting requires bravery, but formation is useless."

He felt that his father had also been poisoned by Emperor Taizong, and he was always in trouble.

Formation is useful, but even more useful is the general’s command before battle. UU reading www. uukanshu.netｔ

Zhao Shu felt that he had been deceived by Cao Yi, and immediately lowered his opinion of this martial arts performance.

Just as Cao Yan was about to explain, it had already started over there.

The two old pawns rushed together first.

The wooden sword slashed and blocked like lightning...

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

The wooden swords of the two people continued to block collisions, and the gaps gradually became denser.

Those strong men were fighting together, and they didn't hesitate to kill with wooden swords. They didn't avoid it at all and chopped directly at the vital points.

Even if you are protected by armor, it will be uncomfortable if you are hit. If you are unlucky, you may be seriously injured.

"Snapped!"

The wooden swords of the two old soldiers were slashing hard, but one of the wooden swords was cut off.

The old soldier with the broken sword did not panic. He threw out the half-cut wooden sword in his hand, and then rushed forward.

The old pawn over there swung away half of the wooden sword, and then slashed his opponent on the shoulder.

Zhao Shu heard a muffled sound and couldn't help but squinted his eyes. It feels too tragic.

The old pawn who had been hit by the sword roared, and hit his opponent's ears heavily with both hands.

Boom!

The veteran who was hit by the punch had a blank look in his eyes, which was a sign of confusion, but he still remembered to punch.

Boom!

The opponents naturally refused to give in. The two of them punched hard, one punch after another, blood continued to flow, and they shot...

"Stop it!"

Zhao Shu couldn't bear it, and neither could Cao Yi, but he remembered Shen An's instructions: be truthful and show the officials the most brutal side of the battlefield. That would be half the battle.

Just as Cao Yan wanted to stop him, the two old soldiers started to stagger back...

Boom!

The two old soldiers fell heavily to the ground, and everyone was shocked.

…

Goodnight everybody!
