"Your Majesty is kind and easy-going, approachable, and willing to enjoy the people. This is a blessing for the subjects in the world. How can I stop me?" Zhang Junping quickly bowed and replied.

"Hahaha! Zhang Aiqing said it well! As the emperor, I naturally have to share the joy with the people!" Zhao Heng laughed happily.

Look, look! This is the real loyal minister, and his words sound so good!

"Your Majesty, I want to ask who else will accompany you?"

"Just me and my beloved concubine! Zhang Aiqing will accompany you, and then arrange a few guards to accompany you!" Zhao Heng was happy and became more and more friendly to Zhang Junping.

"Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty and the Saint to bring the king with you!" Zhang Junping bowed his body again and said.

"Bring Zhen'er?"

"The Zuo Shuzi was careful to speak. The king was young and could not distinguish right from wrong. If he left the palace at this time, if he was infected with bad customs among the people..." Liu E said in a deep voice with a stern face.

Liu E means that Zhao Zhen is still young, what if he goes out of the palace and learns bad things?

Zhao Zhen is Liu E's reverse scale, and is Liu E's weakness. As long as Zhao Zhen's problem is involved, Liu E will always be in a mess, say some, do some irrational words and things.

This is also a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unhappy.

"The saint has filtered! The king did not leave the palace privately, but was with His Majesty and the saint!

I also hope that the king can follow His Majesty and experience the kindness of benevolence that will be with the people!

As for education, there is no better way to educate than my father’s words and deeds!”

"Hahaha! Zhang Aiqing said it well! Zhen'er is not young anymore, and it's time to see the outside world!

I am allowed to report!" Zhao Heng was happy after hearing Zhang Junping's words, and laughed and agreed to Zhang Junping's request.

Liu E thought that she was just watching the bullfighting competition when she left the palace, and Zhao Zhen was always following her when she left the palace, so she no longer objected.

"Your Majesty is wise!" After achieving his goal, Zhang Junping stopped saying anything and bowed to praise him.

After Zhang Junping left, Zhao Heng thought that the best education Zhang Junping just said was his father's words and deeds, so he asked Zhou Huaizheng to call Zhao Zhen over and prepare for the exam.

"My son has seen my father and the eldest lady!" Zhao Zhen respectfully saluted Zhao Heng and Liu E.

"What has Zhen'er learned recently?"

"My son has recently followed the master to learn "Mencius"!"

"Oh? My son has learned "Mencius"? What have you learned? Tell me about it!" Zhao Heng was a little surprised at his son's learning progress.

There are also regulations to study, so naturally you must first learn the Analects of Confucius and then the Mencius, and then learn the Five Classics.

It is worth mentioning that there was no one about the Four Books and Five Classics during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty!

The Four Books and Five Classics appeared after Cheng and Zhu. "The Great Learning" was originally the 42nd chapter of "The Book of Rites". Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi brothers extracted it from "The Book of Rites" and compiled the following chapters to create "The Great Learning". "The Doctrine of the Mean" was originally an article in "The Book of Rites". Zhu Xi believed that "The Doctrine of the Mean" has the function of bringing out the outline and enlightening the mysteries, so they were selected from "The Book of Rites" for students to learn in advance.

Together with the four masterpieces "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius", they are collectively known as the Four Books.

In other words, it was only after Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism that the Four Books and Five Classics were said.

In the early Song Dynasty, there was only the theory of the Six Classics. Zhao Heng once wrote in his poem of encouraging learning, "Reading the Six Classics diligently to the window." The Six Classics refer to the Book of Songs, the Book of Books, the Book of Rites, the Book of Rites, the Book of Changes, the Book of Music, and the Spring and Autumn Annals.

"Then I will recite the "Mencius" I just learned this morning!" Zhao Zhen said, shaking his head and reciting it.

"Mencius said: "Lilou's wisdom and Gongshuzi's cleverness cannot be achieved by law: Shi Kuang's intelligence cannot be used to make a square and round sound; Yao and Shun's way cannot rule the world without benevolent government..."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Zhao Heng smiled, "I just learned it today and I can recite it proficiently. My son is indeed smart!"

Zhao Zhen is only eight years old this year, and he can recite the articles of more than 400 words in Li Lou Zhang's theory of "Mencius" so skillfully. Zhao Heng is naturally happy.

"Zhener is very skillful in memorizing it. Do you know the meaning of this article?" Zhao Heng continued to ask.

"This article tells the idea of ​​Mencius. The emperor must follow the example of the previous kings and implement benevolent government! Only by implementing benevolent government can we govern the world well..."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Zhao Heng said three good words in a row, stood up, walked to Zhao Zhen, reached out to pat Zhao Zhen on the shoulder, but suddenly found that Zhao Zhen had actually reached his chin. He remembered that Zhao Zhen only reached his chest.

"My son has grown so much?" Zhao Heng compared with his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Zhen'er has almost caught up with me in the past few months!" Liu E also sighed from the side.

In the past few months, not only have they changed a lot, but Zhao Zhen has changed a lot bigger. Not only have he grown taller, but his body has also become much stronger. His face is no longer pale as before, but rosy and radiant with a healthy luster.

"This Zuo Shuzi is really capable! Zhen'er has changed so much in just a few months!" Zhao Heng stroked Zhao Zhen's shoulder and praised.

In fact, seven or eight years old is when the child grows up, and his nutrition is kept up. He insists on exercising every day with muscle massage, so his figure will naturally move upwards.

This was basically common sense cognition in later generations, but in the Song Dynasty, it became a magical skill.

"Zhener, tomorrow I will take you out of the palace to watch the bullfighting competition! You are the prince, and my country will be yours in the future. You must learn to enjoy the people!"

"Really?" Zhao Zhen looked at his father in surprise.

"Jun Wu is joking! Of course it is true!" Zhao Heng nodded and smiled.

"That's great! Thank you dad!" Zhao Zhen cheered and hurriedly thanked.

"The Zuo Shuzi made a statement and said that I should teach you by example. From now on, you will follow me and learn how to deal with the government after practicing early every day!

I will go and study with Master Xiang and the others in the afternoon!”

"My son obeys the order!" Zhao Zhen bowed and accepted the order to Zhao Heng in a decent manner.

But he was secretly grateful to Zhang Junping. It turned out that he had always remembered that he wanted to go out of the palace to see him last time.

...

Outside the west gate of Kaifeng Prefecture City, there are crowds of people near Jinmingchi, with endless pedestrians, and vendors on both sides of the pipeline are full of hawking sounds.

These people are not here to watch the bullfighting competition.

The bullfighting ring built by Liu Congjian was two miles west of Jinmingchi.

Although many people were unable to enter the bullfighting ring, they still came outside the bullfighting ring as usual just to know the result of the game earlier.

Zhang Junping rode on the black horse, hung from his ancestral sword under his waist, followed by a carriage, and looked vigilantly at the surrounding environment.

There were more than a dozen knights riding tall horses in front, behind and around this ordinary carriage, guarding the carriage tightly in the middle.
