Zhao Xu had forgotten what that person's name was.

However, Zhao Xu remembered that the man was about the same age as him.

But he can already recite "The Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes", "Mencius" and "The Analects of Confucius" accurately.

The emperor was so happy that he brought the man of the same age to Qingning Palace and asked him to perform reciting "Mencius" and "The Analects of Confucius" in front of Zhao Xu.

"Brother Six, how do you compare to him?" His father's voice seemed to still be in his ears, and Zhao Xu lowered his head.

At that time, he had only just mastered the Analects of Confucius.

How can I compare with that prodigy? I am ashamed of myself.

It's a pity that there has been no news from the child prodigy since he left Beijing.

In his previous life, Zhao Xu had waited for him in Bianjing for 17 years.

But I have never seen him in the palace examination or imperial examination.

It is very possible that this is another example of hurting Zhongyong.

Zhao Xu thought about it and shook his head with a wry smile.

He knew that his carefree childhood was over.

This was the case in my previous life.

This life is the same!

The difference is that in his previous life, before he walked out of Qingning Palace, he was still a child with innocence, a puppet that could be manipulated at will, a puppet that was harmless to humans and animals.

But in this life, beneath his immature and innocent face, he hides a soul that has been sitting in the world for sixteen years, and is still studying abroad for nearly ten years in the new century, more than nine hundred years later.

He knew that he could no longer dwell on the past.

So, he stood up and ended his recollection of the past with a poem.

"Looking back on the past is a nightmare, the hometown is full of joy!" He whispered the poems of later generations, led the people out of the pavilion, walked straight through the garden path, and walked to the palace walls of Qingning Palace.

That is, the entrance to the palace gate.

The imperial dragon warriors who were on duty at the door and wearing Zhongjia armor immediately bowed down and called your highness upon seeing Zhao Xu's thin figure.

Zhao Xu looked at them.

The figures of these tall and strong soldiers were reflected in the clear black and white eyes.

Zhao Xu knew in his heart that Yu Longzhi, who was stationed outside Qingning Palace and transferred by Yanda, was his trump card and his support.

In this world, everyone can betray and betray Zhao Xu.

Only these imperial dragons can't!

Why?

Because these Yu Longzhi, who were personally selected by Yanda, were tied to Zhao Xu from the moment they came to Qingning Palace to guard Zhao Xu.

If something bad happens to Zhao Xu.

Even if these people, their families, wives and children survive, they will be exiled to Guangnan, Lingnan, and even to Salmon Island, and they will not be able to return even if they are pardoned.

As long as Zhao Xu's position is secure, these people's identity as Yulongzhi will not be shaken. In the words of the new century, they have obtained the establishment, and they are the establishment of personal guards around the emperor!

This is a golden rice bowl that can be passed down from father to son, and from descendant to descendant!

Enough for these warriors to put their heads on their belts and shed their blood for Zhao Xu.

And these people had followed Yanda and fought thousands of miles.

From Xihe Road, Qinfeng Road, Huanqing Road, Linyan Road all the way to Jiaozhi, he has made great contributions and killed countless enemies!

The people in front of the palace and the flower stands are vulnerable to them!

Their existence is enough to ensure that even the personal affairs officers, personal subordinate officers and all the staff in front of the palace will rebel.

These imperial dragons are enough to protect Zhao Xu, break out of the siege, go to Jiangning to find Wang Anshi, or go to Luoyang to find Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi, and Sima Guang.

Therefore, Zhao Xu just glanced at them, looked at them curiously like a normal child, then turned around and walked back.

No need to speak, no need to say too much.

Zhao Xu only needs to appear in front of these people intentionally or unintentionally every once in a while.

Let them see the person they are loyal to and make sure they don't admit their mistake.

that's enough!

Someone will do the rest.

Not long after returning to bed, Grandma Guo came back from Zhao Xu's mother, Concubine Zhu De.

She brought back news about De Fei Pavilion.

"Sister said: The princess is ill. Fortunately, the Zhongguan ordered her to prepare a doctor's office to wait for the imperial physician. I am very grateful. I have already written a thank you note and presented it to the Zhonggong Holy Book..."

Zhao Xu was not surprised by this.

His mother-in-law has such a temperament.

In his previous life, even Zhao Xu had already been in power.

But in front of Queen Xiang, she still stayed humble, cautious, and respectful. She never thought about using her son's status to compete for that position.

It's normal now.

Maybe, his mother-in-law will also be happy because of the kindness shown to the queen!

…

Kunning Hall.

Empress Xiang holds in her hand the thank you note sent from De Fei Pavilion.

"Concubine Zhu De is an honest person!" After reading the thank you form, she nodded with satisfaction to the Queen.

Although the words used in this thank you note are not gorgeous.

But he spoke sincerely and kept his posture very low.

In the text, there is a vague comparison to folk concubines, and Queen Xiang is called the female queen.

Looking at the queen, she felt very happy.

"Concubine De is deeply grateful for the saint's kindness, and specifically told her ministers: As soon as the princess recovers, she will bring her to the saint's presence to thank him!" Yan Shouqin, who had just returned from De Concubine's pavilion, said with his head lowered.

"That's not necessary!" He put down a thank you note to the Queen and said, "Go to Concubine Xiaoyu: Now the official is ill and his sister is in the pavilion. She is raising her well and teaching the princess and the prince. This is already a meritorious service. When the official recovers,

I must take credit for my sister!"

But she no longer calls her by her surname, only De Fei.

Obviously, Queen Xiang's attitude has undergone subtle changes.

"Yes!" Yan Shouqin smiled and bowed.

…

Note: The child prodigy was called Zhu Tianxi. According to the long record of Zizhi Tongjian, in April of the seventh year of Yuanfeng, Shenzong and Zhezong summoned the child prodigy together in Ruisi Hall, interviewed the child prodigy, and ordered him to recite and read the scriptures, "all of which are more than 100 verses in length."

, Shenzong pointed Zhu Tianci and asked Zhezong: "Can you recite the book like him?" So he gave Zhu Tianxi a background in the Five Classics, gave him fifty thousand in money, and warned him to study hard and not to waste it.

It's a pity that I searched all the history books and never saw the name of this child prodigy. He may have died young, or he may have hurt Zhongyong like Fang Zhongyong.

Here, for the needs of the plot, certain processing was carried out, and the summoning location was changed to Qingning Palace.

Note 2: In the court of the Northern Song Dynasty, the prince would refer to his biological mother as "sister" in colloquial speech. This may come from the rule in the early Northern Song Dynasty that the princess would be promoted to a higher rank after getting married. This means that if the princess marries the consort's family, her seniority will be promoted.

To the level of her parents-in-law, this avoids the need to salute her parents-in-law. However, this rule was gradually abandoned after the middle period. The reason? Confucian etiquette and ethics are not advocated, but the court seems to have retained this rule. When Zhezong died, his

His mother hugged him and cried, saying that my sister gave birth to you in her belly and so on.
