Chapter 21 I'm Still a Child

On March 28, it was just dawn, and Zhao woke up on time.

Mrs. Cai and two women brought her face wash and helped her comb her hair before starting to eat.

Fish porridge, pancakes, eggs, and fried vegetables are all made by Cai himself.

"Let's have dinner together, madam." Zhao invited her as usual.

"This is prepared by Your Majesty, I dare not overstep it," Cai replied.

Mrs. Cai has always abided by the etiquette, not only eating at the same table, but also refusing to eat at the same table. Moreover, she never relied on others to eat and drink, and did everything herself.

In order to prevent Zhao from being a bad boy since elementary school, the two women chosen were both older and less attractive, which made the helpless Zhao quite helpless.

While we were eating, a guard came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has sent someone to deliver a message."

"Send it in." Zhao Shi threw an egg over.

The guard caught him, thanked him and went out.

After a while, a teenage girl walked in. She was quite tall and looked timid.

When the girl came closer, she bowed down and said, "I have seen your majesty, your majesty. Your majesty pays you your respects."

Zhao Shi was stunned for a while, and said, "Excuse me, how can the Queen Mother ask you to deliver the letter?"

Wang Huiniang replied: "My father was originally the general magistrate of Quanzhou. He was killed by Pu Shougeng because he did not want to surrender. I went to Fuzhou to join my father and met the Queen Mother by chance."

Zhao Shi sighed: "It turns out that after loyalty, the so-called strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough and turbulent know the honest ministers. Fortunately, with your father's generation, the country can survive."

Wang Huiniang took out the letter from her sleeve, raised it above her head and said, "The Queen Mother's personal letter is here for your Majesty to read."

Cai took it over and checked it, and after confirming that there was no abnormality, handed it over to Zhao Shi.

Zhao opened it. The first part was daily greetings, instructing him to eat, dress, sleep and study well. In the middle, he introduced the origin of Wang Huiniang. Finally, he told him that if the girl stayed with him, she could be used to sleep with him when the time was right. It would be best. Have children early.

awkward!

Now only eight years old, the little bird can't dig a hole yet, and it is powerless.

Zhao handed the letter to Cai and said, "What do you think, Madam?"

Mrs. Cai looked at it quickly and said with emotion: "Being a parent is like this. The Queen Mother has worked so hard, and I feel very grateful.

However, the Queen Mother's concern will lead to chaos. Your Majesty's health is not yet mature. Getting close to women too early can easily damage your body. It will be too late to regret it. I will report the matter to the Queen Mother myself, so don't worry, Your Majesty. "

Mrs. Cai looked at Wang Huiniang again and said: "However, loyalty and righteousness should not be treated lightly. Your Majesty can treat her as a beautiful girl. She will serve you around during the day and learn how to work as a female worker with me at night. I have also read a few books and can teach girls." Commandments and the like.

Your Majesty is young and must not have sex too early. When your body has matured in three to five years, you must be restrained and not indulge. "

I'm still a kid and you're telling me this?When Zhao Shi was embarrassed, another imperial guard came in and said: "Your Majesty, the Taizhou army reports a great victory!"

"Madam arranged it." Zhao Shi immediately stood up and left.

When I got to the front, I saw all the important officials there, all with happy faces.

Zhao Jifu came over and said, "Congratulations to your Majesty for the great victory in Taizhou. Your Majesty has made good use of his people."

Zhao Yufen said: "In the second year of Duanping (1235), the Mongols betrayed their alliance and invaded. It has been 46 years since. Our army has never been invincible, but annihilating five thousand enemies in one battle is nothing more than that.

To be able to achieve such a great victory is actually because His Majesty has been given divine skills to win from thousands of miles away. "

If you can speak, just speak more. Zhao sat down with a smile and asked, "Where is the battle report?"

Lu Xiufu immediately sent over the battle report.

"Because of the incident in Wenzhou, the powerful gentry in Taizhou were resentful and wanted to collude with the thieves to surrender to the city. Fortunately, the judge noticed the clues and later discussed with the magistrate to devise a plan... The thieves entered the city, and the ministers bombarded them with thunder from the sky and turned them into powder. Just like the wrath of your Majesty descending from thunder, gods and ghosts make changes...

After inspection, [-] heads were found, all of which were elite. After this battle, the bandits had to rest for three to five months before they could go south.

The prisoners were also identified, and the thieves Dong Wenyong and Ji Shiyuan were found wearing golden tiger talismans. Dong's younger brother and his son were also found. There were also two people from Wanhu, six from Qianhu, and Fan Wenhu's deputy general Zhang Quan.

His seal, flag, clothes and armor, weapons and head are all here to see him off. Your Majesty, please take a look at them.

In addition, 120 and four war horses were captured, as well as countless weapons and armor.

The ministers gathered in the capital to watch and closed the city to watch. The army and the people were in high spirits. The ministers and the magistrate of the prefecture sat in the city tower, eating horse meat with wine, which was quite enjoyable.

It's just that we have consumed a lot of gunpowder, and I am anxiously awaiting your Majesty's replenishment.

After the great victory in this battle, Dong was frightened and fell ill. The Yuan army retreated to Shaoxing Prefecture. I wanted to divide my troops to defend Xianju and Tiantai counties. I thought it was a powerful force and asked your Majesty to send generals to guard it.

The minister bowed his head and bowed..."

"Happy!" Zhao Shi patted the armrest and said, "Zhang Shuangguo is wise, Lin Jingxi is resourceful, Liu Shiyong is brave, and the soldiers will fight to the death. Without heavy rewards, it is not enough to show their merits."

It was the first time that the main force of the Yuan army, 46, was annihilated in a battle. In [-] years, the Song army had not received a single Golden Tiger Talisman, but this time it received two directly.

Speaking of which, Dong Wenyong was also unlucky. He was originally the manager of Weihui Road. He went north to Lin'an to escort Jiangnan and captured him. He stopped by to see Dong Wenbing. Unexpectedly, Dong Wenbing was used to bossing him around and pushed him directly into the sinkhole.

Regardless of strategic and political significance, only in terms of results, this battle can be ranked first.

Zhao Jifu said: "Your Majesty, Liu Shiyong's battle report still needs to be inspected, and rewards can only be given after it is confirmed to be correct. This is a system and should not be broken easily."

"What you said is true." Zhao Shi followed the advice and said with great interest: "In that case, let's take a look at the spoils first."

Immediately, the guards brought in the spoils. The quality of the weapons and armor of the high-ranking generals was undeniable, but under the thunder, there were still many holes.

Many of the flags were damaged and stained with blood. Not only did Zhao not find them an eyesore, but he felt that they looked better this way.

The most beautiful thing is the Golden Tiger Talisman, which is essentially a certificate of military power. Because the base is engraved with the command of a crouching tiger, in the Yuan Dynasty, no rewards were given to those who had made great achievements, and no rewards were given to those who were not the emperor's closest confidants. However, Dong Wen used the three-bead Golden Tiger Talisman. The two beads of the highest level, Yu Shiyuan, are a little less interesting but still precious.

According to Zhao Shi's understanding, the Golden Tiger Talisman can roughly be regarded as the military shoulder badge of the generals of later generations, full of grandeur.

Finally, there are eleven human heads, which have been made of salt and look lifelike.

At this time, no one would say that the emperor was only eight years old and it was inappropriate to look at these hideous and terrifying heads to avoid psychological shadow.

While looking at it, Zhao Shi sighed with emotion: "If the head of Kublai Khan is obtained, it will be passed down to future generations and regarded as a treasure of inheritance."

Lu Xiufu said: "Your Majesty, if Kublai Khan is captured, he should be given the title of Duke to support him. This is what a benevolent king would do."

Zhao Shi nodded and said: "If there is such a time, Qing will handle this matter."

It is an old tradition handed down from ancient times, and it can be described as the highest state of both being worthy and establishing.

Therefore, generally speaking, the emperor who captured the opponent would not kill him on the spot. At most, he would let Empress Li die of illness quietly like Zhao Er.

After everyone looked at the heads with satisfaction, they naturally wanted to give Zhao Shi some rainbow farts.

The achievements of the ministers were all due to the emperor's wise and powerful command. Zhao happily accepted all the flattery, and then ordered the heads and trophies to be sent to the streets for display.

Zhao Shi said: "I want to tell the army and the people that Yuanlu is not invincible. As long as we unite as one and be brave and fearless, we can kill Yuanlu."

"There is no wiser person than your Majesty. I will inform the army and the people immediately." Zhao Jifu said.

"The soldiers and civilians should know that under the magical skills taught by His Majesty, thieves cannot capture anything more than chickens and dogs." Liu Fu said.

No matter when, the emperor always takes the greatest credit, and in fact the gunpowder Liu Shiyong relied on was also invented by Zhao.

The eight-year-old emperor needed to establish his prestige. What better way to establish his prestige than with the heads of his enemies?
