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

Chapter 23

Yutang.

"I kowtow to the emperor's uncle with Rui, and wish my uncle a long life and eternal blessings, and be happy every day." Zhao Yurui kowtowed heavily, bang bang bang, his forehead hit the ground with bang bang.

Song Ningzong was both surprised and happy, but also distressed: "Please get up with Rui."

Ning Zong was benevolent, seeing his little nephew kowtow so earnestly, he felt a little distressed.

Yao Bizhi, who was standing behind Zhao Yurui, lost his mind for a short while, Zhao Yurui was always different, this time even His Majesty didn't call.

Of course, in the Southern Song Dynasty, relatives in the palace did call their father, mother, elder brother, and elder sister more, unlike the exaggerated Ming and Qing Dynasties who always called their father, queen, mother, queen, brother, and brother.

Coupled with Song Ningzong's benevolence, Zhao Yurui simply came up and called his uncle directly, and the relationship between the two was instantly brought closer.

"Sure enough, you are a good-looking talent." Song Ningzong looked at Zhao Yurui standing in front of him with a smile, and was very satisfied with Zhao Yurui's state and character.

Ning Zong is a more easy-going person, so he is unwilling to make up his mind on many things, which are decided by Shi Miyuan and Queen Yang.

Regardless of whether it was the former prince Zhao Xun or the current prince Zhao Mian, when they saw him, they were all more cautious, and they even said that they were cautious in front of him, walking on thin ice.

Zhao Yurui was cheerful and generous, and she was called uncle when she came up, and she was very easy-going, so she immediately got Ningzong's favor.

"Come here, give me a seat." Song Ningzong waved happily at this moment.

The eyes of a fair and clean eunuch standing behind Song Ningzong lit up, and he looked at Zhao Yurui in disbelief.

Yao Bizhi was also shocked.

When Zhao Mian met the saint for the first time, he didn't get such treatment.

The eunuch turned around and went to set up a stool beside him.

The stool was actually not far away, just behind Zhao Yurui.

"Yu Rui came by himself." Zhao Yurui was faster, three steps in parallel, and hugged the stool first.

The eunuch looked embarrassed.

Zhao Yurui giggled, turned around and put the stool not far in front of the emperor, and sat down.

The eunuch can only retreat behind the emperor.

Song Ningzong laughed, and felt that his nephew was interesting, very easy-going, and very similar to himself.

"Have you ever studied with Rui Ke?" Song Ningzong asked at this moment.

Of course Zhao Yurui had read it, but he almost forgot about it. He was not as good at reading as his brother Zhao Yuju, but fortunately, before entering the palace, he was made up by the Ministry of Rites and Shi Miyuan.

He said: "I have been studying when I was with my mother, but because I am playful, my homework is not as good as my elder brother."

Yao Bizhi's face changed slightly, Zhao Yurui shouldn't have answered like that.

Song Ningzong smiled and looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Since meeting the Prime Minister, knowing that Rui Hongfu is equal to the sky, has received the grace of God, and became the king of Yi, and Rui has made up his mind. From now on, he must read the books of sages and sages carefully, learn the principles of life, and serve the court of the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty. People, do your part."

"We don't seek meritorious service with Rui, but seek to be worthy of my uncle's trust and the cultivation of the prime minister."

"What a good one for the people of the Song Dynasty." Song Ningzong was very satisfied with this sentence and was full of praise.

When most people see the emperor, they do it for His Majesty, and only Zhao Yurui didn't say it was His Majesty, but for the court and the people.

Ning Zong's affection for Zhao Yurui skyrocketed.

Yao Bizhi lost his mind again.

The Zhao Yurui in front of him was not the Zhao Yurui he was familiar with in Shaoxing. Facing His Majesty the Emperor, he was generous and composed, talking and laughing happily, and it really looked like ordinary communication between relatives.

The prime minister and Liang Cheng mostly thought that Zhao Yurui was young and playful, I'm afraid, he was mistaken?

Song Ningzong has not been in good health for the past few months, and his mental complexion is usually quite poor, but today he talked a lot with Zhao Yurui, and his mental state is also very good.

The two chatted for a while, and the elders in the palace came to recognize the new King Yi one after another.

Only then did Zhao Yurui discover that the emperor was really frugal.

Ningzong currently only has Empress Yang, his wife Zhong, Cao Meiren, Gaoping beauty Yan, a total of four concubines.

Among them, Mrs. Zhong is the youngest, in her 20s and less than 30s. Cao Meiren and Mrs. Yan are both in their [-]s, but Mrs. Yan is not here today. Later Zhao and Rui found out that Mrs. Yan is pregnant and has a son .

Ningzong's luck was really bad. The first nine biological sons died one after another. Later, in order to be the crown prince, he had to choose an heir from the clan. Maybe he knew that he was not in good health, so he was required to be over 15 years old.

This is the rigid requirement of being over 15 years old, so Shi Miyuan chose the Zhao and Rui brothers to come to An for an interview.

After the concubines came, Zhao and Rui visited one by one. The queen was called Auntie, and the rest were called Niangniang.

No problem, elders can be called Empress.

Empress Yang waited for him to visit, and said: "Your Majesty, do you plan to let Yu Rui stay in the capital or outsource? Yu Rui is not young anymore, should you hone it? (outsource)"

The meaning of the sentence is to seal off one side and become the top leader of the local military and government.

Ning Zong thought for a while, but didn't answer right away.

Zhao Yurui heard these words keenly, and Shi Miyuan told him not to contract out, but Shi Miyuan's ally, Empress Yang, didn't mean that?This means that Shi Miyuan and Queen Yang can't communicate about everything?Or, deliberately attracting Mrs. Zhong's objection?Because Queen Yang proposed it, Mrs. Zhong would definitely object.

After a while, Ning Zong raised his head and asked Zhao Yurui: "Do you have any ideas with Rui?"

Zhao Yurui said: "Yourui just won the title, afraid of being laughed at, and wants to study hard for a year or two before being judged."

Song Ningzong hesitated, because Zhao Yurui's stepmother, Mrs. Yu, was not very old, and besides the outsourced place, he could learn while doing things.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhong who was beside her laughed and said, "When you come to the capital with Rui Chu, you can stay for a few more days, and often come to visit the official family. I haven't seen the official family so happy for a long time."

Song Ningzong couldn't help but smile knowingly when he thought of what Zhao Yurui said just now.

"Okay." Song Ningzong nodded with a smile: "Then let's stay in Wei Wangfu temporarily."

The emperor obviously loved Mrs. Zhong more. After Mrs. Zhong spoke, she immediately decided that Zhao and Rui would stay in the capital temporarily.

At this time, Empress Yang looked at Mrs. Zhong from the corner of her eye, with a subtle smile in her eyes.
-
Zhao Yurui definitely wants to judge the local government and become the top military and political leaders.

But Shi Miyuan disagreed, of course he couldn't offend and disobey Shi Miyuan now.

After walking out of Yutang, Zhao and Rui knew that Yutang was located between the harem and the Daqing Hall. This was also the place where the emperor worked overtime at night. He could not only meet his officials, but also summon his concubines.

Yao Bizhi followed Zhao Yurui out of Yutang, and immediately said in a low voice: "King Yi has to go to the Hall of Renming."

It's small to take back the official hat, but it's big to thank Mrs. Zhong, or he thinks it's better to stay in the capital.

Zhao Yurui turned to look at Yao Bizhi, and found that Yao Bizhi looked more respectful than before.

"Go slowly." Zhao Yurui said.

Yao Bizhi understood, Mrs. Zhong was still behind, they walked slowly to meet Mrs. Zhong in the Hall of Renming.

Yao Bizhi stopped talking now, and followed Zhao Yurui cautiously.

After Zhao Yurui walked a few steps, he suddenly asked, "Who was standing behind His Majesty just now?"

"We all know Murong Ying." When Yao Bizhi spoke, a different look flashed in his eyes.

We all know that he is the top eunuch in the palace, with a high position and authority, and is closely followed by the emperor. Yao Bizhi must have wanted to replace him a long time ago.

Zhao Yurui said: "Murongying doesn't seem to be very talkative? I see him keeping his head down and his eyelids down." It means that he didn't even look at me.

When Zhao Yurui and Ning Zong were chatting just now, although Murong Ying lowered her head, she looked at Zhao Yurui from the corner of her eye from time to time. Zhao Yurui could be sure that it was definitely not the same loving gaze as Ningzong.

Murongying might think that Yi Wang is slippery?Or, did he support Zhao Mian?
Yao Bizhi heard the words and thought for a moment: "Murong Ying has followed His Majesty for decades, has a high position and authority, and is also very old. She may not be feeling well today."

"Oh." Zhao Yurui said to herself like a child: "I'm old and in poor health, shouldn't I abdicate to the virtuous?"

After all, he glanced at Yao Bizhi intentionally or unintentionally.

Yao Bizhi grinned, thinking that King Yi is not easy, he will win people's hearts.

But no matter what, it is really comfortable to listen to.

Yao Bizhi didn't speak, but lowered his eyebrows and looked more docile.

The two arrived at the Hall of Renming, but Mrs. Zhong did not come back. Zhao Yurui took the official hat and expressed her thanks repeatedly.

When Zhao Yurui left the imperial city, Yao Bizhi waved and called a little eunuch.

The little eunuch stood quietly in front of him and listened.

Yao Bizhi thought for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, after a while, he finally said: "Go out and tell the Prime Minister that King Yi is meeting His Majesty today, everything is as usual, His Majesty likes King Yi very much."
