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

Chapter 43 Ningzong's Favor (for further reading)
Song Ningzong was reading a book, and when he saw Zhao Yurui coming in to bow down, he couldn't help laughing: "You don't have to be cautious, I still like to hear what you called last time."

"Then I wish Uncle Rui will live forever in immortality, live as long as heaven, and everything goes well."

"Hahaha, get up and sit down." Song Ningzong said happily.

At this moment, Zhao Yurui found that Murong Ying was still standing behind him.

We all know that Murong Ying is the number one eunuch in the palace. At this time, he quietly looked at Zhao Yurui with a blank expression. For some reason, Zhao Yurui always gave Zhao Yurui a gloomy feeling. The number one expert in the industry, the Sunflower Book is in hand.

Ning Zong asked him about his living habits and his needs, and the nephew and uncle chatted for a while before asking him about his studies.

Zhao Yurui immediately said that Zheng Qingzhi and Li Zongmian were teaching themselves the Analects.

The emperor was taken aback, only learning the Analects?

Zhao Yurui knew that Zheng Qingzhi hadn't told the emperor about it yet.

At that moment, he told the story of Taizong and Zhao Pu again, and said that Yu Rui didn't feel too smart, so he should follow the steps, learn the Analects first, and then learn other things.

Of course, the emperor is not so easy to fool, he should also know that Zhao Yurui is a bit lazy.

But he didn't say anything, and said with a wry smile: "It's good that you and Rui Neng think so."

Zhao Yurui was not a candidate for the crown prince, and the emperor didn't want to push too much.

Zhao Yurui was more courageous than Zhao Mian, and dared to talk in front of the emperor with a relaxed attitude, which was something Song Ningzong liked very much.

So Zhao Yurui's shortcomings were naturally ignored by him.

On the contrary, because Zhao Mian was cautiously waiting for the throne, he was very cautious in front of the emperor, as if covered with thin ice, which made Ningzong feel alienated.

The emperor also needs family affection.

Ning Zong is very kind to his cousin, and now his cousin has Zhao Yurui as his heir, which makes him very relieved and feels a little bit of family affection.

The two of them were the same as last time, talking non-stop and talking a lot.

But about a quarter of an hour later, a voice sounded from behind the emperor: "Your Majesty, it's time to eat, don't be hungry."

The emperor has not eaten since he came down to court.

"Cool" Zhao Yurui looked at Murongying from the corner of her eye in displeasure.

"Have you eaten with Rui?" the emperor asked.

"Not yet." Zhao Yurui said decisively, he had obviously eaten, but still said no.

"Go, come with me."

Murong Ying's face changed slightly.

The evaluation of Song Ningzong in history is that he is incompetent, has no independent opinions, and is at the mercy of powerful officials.

This evaluation is definitely correct, but there is another evaluation that says this: "Silent devotion, no entertainment, no indulgence in drinking, no extravagance, no profit, no tyranny, nothing like the previous generation His Majesty has nothing to say about the emperor's lack of morality."

So many people only saw him as fatuous and incompetent, he was at the mercy of powerful officials, and the Qingyuan party ban and the Kaixi Northern Expedition were recorded in history and became a laughing stock.

In fact, Song Ningzong still has many advantages. It can only be said that he didn't do things well when he was born poor.

It is said that the Qingyuan party ban and the Northern Expedition are both good things that benefit the country and the people, but he did the former too early and did not conform to the environment and background at the time, while the latter just didn't do it well. laughing stock.

If he succeeds, and these two things are done well, he will probably become a generation of Mingjun.

Zhao Yurui didn't know Song Ningzong's history at all, but after only contacting Song Ningzong twice, he knew that Ningzong was at least a benevolent elder.

No matter how stupid he is as an emperor, when he was with Zhao Yurui, he must be a benevolent elder.

Ning Zong was very frugal. For lunch, there were only two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian. It was because Zhao Yurui was willing to accompany him to eat today, so he added a chicken and a soup.

When eating, Zhao Yurui found that all the utensils were tin instead of silver.

This was also replaced after Song Ningzong came to power, just to save money.

Although Zhao Yurui had already eaten at home before coming here, the dishes cooked in the palace were indeed better than those cooked in the palace, and the emperor treated them to guests, so he resolutely ate another big bowl.

Song Ningzong ate very little, and looked up at Zhao Yurui from time to time.

Seeing Zhao Yurui's mouthfuls of food, although his behavior was indecent, Ning Zong was full of joy.

Unknowingly, he thought of his former biological sons and adopted sons.

He had nine biological sons, all of whom died very young. Later, he adopted six-year-old Zhao Xun as his adopted son, and he was with him since he was a child. Father and son have a good relationship.

Zhao Xun was established as the prince at the age of 16, and died of illness after being the prince for 13 years.

When Zhao Xun died, Ning Zong was in great pain because he no longer had a son who would dine with him.

Later, Zhao Mian was an adult when he was established as the prince. Zhao Mian, who was only chosen for the sake of the country, and Ningzong, had no father-son relationship with him at all.

Today, after the imperial court, Zhen Dexiu, the Minister of Rites, once again proposed to make Zhao Mian the crown prince, but Shi Miyuan resolutely opposed it.

Ning Zong hesitated again and again, but also felt that it was too early, because at that time, his mind suddenly became hot, and he thought of Zhao Yurui who called him uncle.

When Zhao Mian called him father, he could clearly feel the indifference.

And Zhao and Ruiming's uncles are natural and kind.

It's still the prime minister who can handle things. When the prince was elected, he should be the prime minister.

At this time Song Ningzong suddenly regretted making Zhao Mian the prince.

But it's useless to regret any more, everything is irreversible.

"Delicious, delicious, uncle, the dishes in the palace are really delicious." Zhao Yurui praised while eating.

Song Ningzong's face was full of kindness: "If you like Rui, you can come to the palace to accompany uncle more."

"Haha, then Yu Rui is welcome, it is too troublesome to enter the imperial city, every time I wait for a long time outside the palace——" Zhao Yurui spat out the last piece of chicken bone at this time, then picked up the bowl, and put the table first. Sweep all the bones on the table into the bowl, then put the bowl and chopsticks aside, finally burped, picked up the towel next to it and wiped the oil on his mouth.

Ning Zong showed a look of relief on his face, and immediately waved: "Murong Ying."

"Your Majesty." Murong Ying hurried forward.

"Pass down my oral order to inform the Imperial City Division and Neidongmen Division that after King Yi and Rui enter the palace, they can directly enter the inner court without notification."

Murong Ying's complexion changed again.

At present, the only one who can directly enter the inner court without notification is the prince Zhao Mian.

He hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Observe the order." After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Yurui meaningfully.

Zhao Yurui also said casually, he was a little surprised that he didn't expect the emperor to give face so much.

At the same time, I also felt the emperor's love for me.

He still asked the emperor for something when he entered the palace today, Zhao Yurui hurriedly called it hot.

After eating, he got up and walked to the emperor, plopped and knelt down again.

"Why is this with Rui?" Song Ningzong was puzzled.

"You and Rui are afraid of being scolded by your uncle for being playful, so admit your mistake first." Zhao Yurui shrugged and said.

"What's wrong with you?" Song Ningzong said with a smile, "Get up and talk."

Zhao Yurui said: "Yu Rui wants to ask Uncle something, so get up after you finish talking."

Song Ningzong looked at him with a smile and nodded slightly.
