In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 18 Do what you like and make King Yi happy every day

In the Southern Song Dynasty, most people traveled by water. They took a carriage to the pier, and then boarded a boat. They could go all the way to the capital. In mid-July, Zhao and Rui and their party came to Lin'an.

On the same day, we first stayed at the Dutingyi Station on the west of the mud road in Houchaomen, near the imperial palace. Dutingyi Station is a base for receiving foreign envoys, also known as Hakka Province or Sifang Pavilion.

An official from the Ministry of Rituals visited Zhao Yurui and told him some matters. The official will greet him in person in a few days, and told him what etiquette he should have, the address in the palace, and tailor it for him. King Yi's robes, crown and many other items.

Only then did Zhao Yurui know that he had a stepmother named Yu Shi in the capital.

The king of Yi he inherited was the throne of Zhao Bian, and he was hereditary as the heir of Zhao Bian, and Zhao Bian was posthumously named King Yi after his death.

Zhao Yan is the grandson of Emperor Xiaozong of Song Dynasty and the second son of King Zhao Kai of Wei Huixian. Due to the restriction of the clan system of the Song Dynasty, he never had the title of king of Wei inherited from his father until his death. Of course, Ningzong actually treated him very well, but Zhao Yan was young After his death, he should have been sealed in time before he came, and he was posthumously named King Yi after his death (inherited by lower class).

Before he died, he made a suicide note saying that his son died unfortunately, but there was still Gaotang's old mother who needed to be served, and there was no one to offer incense in this branch. Please Your Majesty choose the eldest son who is equivalent to Zhaomu among the close relatives, and adopt him to serve in the branch of King Wei Department of incense.

Song Ningzong took good care of his little cousin, so he decided to choose a son of the clan to adopt Zhao Yan, and specially named him King Yi, which is also a title that Zhao Yurui can inherit.

Zhao Bian was only in his 30s when he died, and left behind a wife named Yu, who was enfeoffed as the wives of the two countries, and is now the stepmother of Zhao and Rui.

So when Zhao Yurui arrived in Lin'an, she found that she had changed her mother again.

After dinner, Zhao Yurui was reading the books left by the Ministry of Rites in the room, which contained some etiquette rules for entering the palace, when suddenly Zhou Lai rushed to report: "There was a report outside the courtyard, saying that the right minister Shi Miyuan asked to see King Yi."

"Quickly pass it on." Zhao Yurui sent Zhou Lai to pass it on quickly.

As soon as Zhou Lai walked away, he swished his hair and clothes tousled twice, and ran out quickly.

Originally, I wanted to imitate Cao Cao and kick off another boot, but after thinking about it, I still didn't act so exaggeratedly.

As soon as he walked to the middle of the courtyard, he saw an unattractive middle-aged man walking forward accompanied by Zhou Lai.

Shi Miyuan's cheeks are a bit round, with a three-horned beard on his mouth, he looks more like a teacher.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Zhao Yurui running out, and he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

When he saw Zhao Yurui's messy appearance, a faint smile flashed in his eyes.

"Old minister Shi Miyuan, pay homage to the king." Shi Miyuan was still a dozen steps away from Zhao Yurui at this time, making a gesture to bow down.

"Prime Minister, please forgive me." Zhao Yurui exclaimed in surprise, three steps at a time, rushed to Shi Miyuan like flying, clapped, held Shi Miyuan tightly with both hands, and lifted him up heavily.

At this time, Shi Miyuan clearly observed that Zhao Yurui's hands were trembling, his face was flushed, and his expression was agitated.

He took advantage of the situation to get up, only to see Zhao Yurui's hands holding his arms were still shaking.

It could be seen that Zhao Yurui was very excited, or, very scared.

"Your Majesty is really a heroic young man." Shi Miyuan stroked his three-horned mustache with a proud expression.

Shi Miyuan knew exactly how Zhao and Rui jumped from the dragon's gate, from ordinary people to clan and vassal kings.

At this time, Zhou Lai and the people who followed Shi Miyuan had already left.

It was just the two of them in the yard.

Zhao Yurui immediately said: "My mother said that without the help of the prime minister, you and Rui would still be field husbands in the fields, and the prime minister would have the grace of rebirth with Rui. If you are a reborn parent, please accept Rui's respect."

"Your Majesty can't." Shi Miyuan also gestured to help.

But Zhao and Rui thumped and knelt heavily on one knee.

"Ah, I've broken the old minister, your majesty, please get up." Shi Miyuan then used all his strength to help Zhao Yurui up.

After helping Zhao Yurui, he nodded in satisfaction, reached out and patted Zhao Yurui's shoulder heavily: "Go, talk inside."

"Prime Minister, please." Zhao Yurui strode forward first, then seemed to notice something was wrong, brushed, with a panic expression on his face, and hurriedly stepped back half a body to get behind Shi Miyuan.

Seeing Zhao Yurui's bewildered look, Shi Miyuan secretly laughed.

The older brothers, Zhao Yuju, are calm, stable, and well-mannered, which is really good, but to be the emperor, it is better to have someone like Zhao Yurui.

At this time, the image of Zhao Yurui in his heart had slowly been finalized, with a stubborn temperament, not mature enough, not only timid and cowardly, but also somewhat self-aware, this kind of person is still easy to control.

"The four words Your Majesty wrote that day, Fu Xiang An Kang, the old minister felt very good."

"My mother taught me since childhood that the most important thing to be a human being is to be happy." Zhao Yurui said a little shyly, "Yourui is very happy now."

You will be happier in the future, Shi Miyuan smiled in his heart.

He looked into the room and found that the room was a bit messy, some of Zhao Yurui's clothes and books were thrown everywhere.

This son still needs to be taught well, but he doesn't have time to talk about it now.

"To make a long story short, the old minister, His Majesty will summon you at any time, and when you meet His Majesty—"

Shi Miyuan knew that Song Ningzong was benevolent, and according to the previous arrangement, Zhao Yurui might be sent to Qingyuan Mansion (Ningbo).

Because Zhao Kai, the father of the king of Yi, was sentenced to Ningguo Mansion first, and then Mingzhou (after Ningzong was changed to Qingyuan Mansion), his family was in Mingzhou.

Zhao Yan was also born in Mingzhou (Qingyuan Mansion), and came to Lin'an Wei Wang Mansion when he was an adult.

So in theory, Zhao and Rui now have two homes, one in Qingyuan Mansion and one in Lin'an.

Shi Miyuan asked Zhao Yurui to stay in Wei Wangfu in Lin'an.

However, there is Zhao Yu's wife Yu Shi in the Wei Palace. Considering that Yu Shi is not very old, and Zhao Yurui is not young, the emperor may sentence Zhao Yurui to Qingyuan Mansion.

The meaning of the Song Dynasty judgment is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, but at the same time, it must be the top leader of the local military and government.

But after this precedent was opened, such things happened one after another.

The outsourced Zhao and Rui are not what Shi Miyuan needs.

Shi Miyuan wanted to keep him in Lin'an. On the one hand, it would be easier to control, and on the other hand, it would be convenient to depose Zhao Mian in the future.

Not long after, Shi Miyuan came out from the Duting Posthouse, there was a sedan chair waiting for him outside the gate, and Yu Tianxi was also there.

"How is the prime minister?" Yu Tianxi stepped forward and asked cautiously.

"The mind is still young, and my mother said my mother said--" Shi Miyuan smiled and said, "It's pretty good."

"I heard that he likes beautiful women? Of course he likes him." Let him be playful.

Yu Tianxi was thoughtful.

Liang Chengda came back from Shaoxing and reported to Shi Miyuan that Zhao Yurui fought with the local salt merchant for a widow, and his cousin Quan Yong even killed someone. (However, as Zhao Yurui expected, Liang Chengda did not say anything else, including the proposal to give him an extra [-]% at the time, and the gift of [-] guan afterwards.)
Reminiscent of Zhao Yurui's performance in the prime minister's mansion that day, seeing the beauty Qiuyue couldn't move her legs, and she would do it whenever she found an opportunity. They were indeed more lecherous and frivolous.

Before Shi Miyuan was afraid that Zhao Yurui was frivolous on purpose in the prime minister's mansion, and had hidden ulterior motives. When he heard that he killed widows in Shaoxing, he was sure that Zhao Yurui was a womanizer.

But Yu Tianxi didn't feel bad for him. Men are lustful, it's their nature, Zhao Yurui never concealed it, unlike Zhao Yuju, who were serious before, but flirted with Xiaotao later, and refused to admit it.

"Zhao and Ju are calm on the surface, but they are treacherous in reality. Zhao and Rui are playful and lustful. The prime minister's selection of King Yi this time is really good." Yu Tianxi laughed.

"Hahaha." Shi Miyuan laughed loudly, and said: "When the officials let him stay in the capital, we will send Qiuyue from my residence there. He likes beauties, so we will send more beauties."

Yu Tianxi said again: "Prime Minister is wise."

"Leave this matter to you, and pick some more young and beautiful girls, and send them to Wei Wangfu together. King Yi hopes to be happy, so let him be happy every day."

"Father Chun understands." Yu Tianxi said with a smile.
