On the carriage back, Zhao Xu was already tired and sleepy after a day of traveling, and began to doze off on his seat, Zhao Yan stood up and covered him with a blanket, looking at Zhao Xu's little face that was still a little smiling in his sleep, which showed that he had a very happy day today, which made Zhao Yan also show a little smile on his face.

Zhao Yan sat down in the carriage again, and then thought back on today's itinerary, especially thinking that after he finished talking about Zhao Xu's life experience at the end, he summed up to Zhao Xu in a heavy tone: "Xu'er, your father has been diligent all his life, although there were some mistakes during his political career, but in general, he is still a good emperor who can make a difference!" ”

However, in the face of Zhao Yan's summary, Zhao Xu asked a question that Zhao Yan didn't expect at this time: "Third uncle, everyone says that my father's change has been made, do you also think that the change is wrong?" ”

Zhao Xu's question also made Zhao Yan stunned for a moment, just now when he talked about Zhao Xu's last deeds, he talked about the matter of changing the law, and he made a more fair judgment on this matter, although Zhao Xu's original intention was good, but it is also a fact that the change brought great harm to the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Yan didn't want to cover up for Zhao Yan in this matter, so he also pointed out many drawbacks of the change.

"Xu'er, the third uncle has already said just now, your father's original intention to change the law is good, but in the process of changing the law, improper people and methods were used, which made the change cause huge opposition from the court and the people, so the change itself is right, and the wrong is just the way to change the law!" Regarding Zhao Xu's question, Zhao Yan had to emphasize again that what he was opposed to before was the way to change the law rather than the change itself, if Zhao Xu could find a qualified person to promote the change in a suitable way, maybe the result of the change would not have become what it is now.

Hearing Zhao Yan's explanation, Zhao Xu nodded as if he didn't understand, and after a long while, he spoke: "The gentlemen in the palace all said that the change was wrong. Of course, they didn't dare to say about their father, but about the fault of Mr. Linchuan and Lu Huiqing, but I think that my father was wise and wise, how could he fail to change the law because he didn't know people? ”

Regarding Zhao Xu's question, Zhao Yan didn't know how to answer, he couldn't say that Zhao Xu's change actually had a deeper purpose. That is to monopolize the power of the court, although the change failed, but his purpose of monopolizing power was achieved, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji is probably the most powerful emperor, no matter how big or small the affairs of the court must go through his decision-making, but in this way, it also makes Zhao Ji burdened with heavy government affairs, which also greatly damages his health. indirectly led to Zhao Ji's death.

Fortunately, Zhao Xu did not ask the above question, which made Zhao Yan also breathe a sigh of relief, and began to divert the topic and talk about some interesting things about Zhao Xu, which made Zhao Xu quickly distracted, and when he left the imperial tomb, Zhao Xu was finally tired, and fell asleep after a while in the carriage.

By the time the carriage returned to Tokyo City, it was already nearly two watches. Zhao Yan originally wanted to go back to the house to rest, but he didn't expect Zhao Xu, the little guy, to wake up. And he opened the car window very energetically and looked out, he had already heard of the night market in Tokyo, but unfortunately with his identity, he had never seen it with his own eyes, and now he finally had the opportunity to see the night market, so he was also very excited. A pair of big eyes feel very fresh when you see anything.

"Third uncle, I'm hungry, there are a lot of food sellers outside, I haven't seen a lot of them, let's buy some and taste them!" At this time, Zhao Xu said to Zhao Yan with a pleading face. Children are hungry, and the food in the palace, although exquisite, is nothing compared to the variety of food at the night market.

"Okay, it just so happens that I'm also a little hungry, so the third uncle will take you down to taste the food in this night market!" Zhao Yan also laughed at this time, it is also a good thing for him to be able to let Zhao Xu get in touch with some folk life, not to mention that he also likes to visit the night market very much, and sometimes often takes Zhao Jia and other children to the night market to eat and play.

Zhao Xu originally just hoped that he could let people buy some food from the night market and send it to the car, after all, he also knew that his identity was not suitable for appearing in the night market, but he didn't expect Zhao Yan to agree to him get out of the car and visit the night market in person, which made Zhao Xu also jump up and cheer excitedly, and then hugged Zhao Yan's arm and dragged him under the car.

At that moment, Zhao Yan let the carriage stop on the side of the road, and then took Zhao Xu's hand and was about to get out of the car, but at this moment, I saw an old chamberlain walking over with a straight face and saying, "I don't know why His Royal Highness King Yue stopped?" ”

"This king wants to take His Majesty to the night market for a walk, what, do you want to take care of this king's affairs?" Zhao Yan couldn't help but be a little displeased when he saw this old chamberlain with a straight face.

"The old slave naturally doesn't dare to take care of the affairs of His Royal Highness King Yue, but Your Majesty is a daughter, how can he go to a place like the night market? And when she left the palace, the Empress Dowager instructed the old slave to pay attention to His Majesty's safety, so the old slave dared to ask His Majesty to go back to the car to rest! The old chamberlain said with a straight face again.

Seeing that this old chamberlain was not allowed to go out by himself, a trace of disappointment flashed on Zhao Xu's face, and then he whispered to Zhao Yan: "Third uncle, this Wu chamberlain is sent by the Queen Mother to take care of my diet and daily life, if he does not allow me to do something, I must not do it, otherwise he will definitely report it to the Queen Mother, and I will have to be scolded at that time, so I still won't go!" ”

Zhao Xu said and turned around and was about to go back to the car, but Zhao Yan stopped him at this time, and then turned his head to this Wu Nei Shi and said: "Wu Nei Shi, this king and the Queen Mother have already agreed that Your Majesty will come to me, and everything will be subject to my arrangement, so as long as you have my consent, Your Majesty can do whatever he wants, and no one can stop him!" ”

After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he took Zhao Xu's little hand and got out of the car, Wu Neishou didn't expect Zhao Yan to not give him half of face at all, which made his old face flush with anger, and he wanted to stand there and block Zhao Yan, but he didn't expect Zhao Yan to wave his hand, and immediately two palace guards put him aside, and then watched Zhao Yan squeeze into the crowd of people in the night market with Zhao Xu.

Seeing that Zhao Yan was so domineering, Zhao Xu's little face was also flushed with excitement, but soon he said with some worry: "Third uncle, you put Wu Nei's servant aside, what if he tells the Queen Mother when he goes back?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll help you say it over there, you just need to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the night market now, and taste all kinds of delicious snacks by the way, but don't eat too much, lest you break your stomach and can't sleep." Zhao Yan didn't care about it, he was just an inner servant, and it was not worth his attention at all.

Hearing Zhao Yan say this, Zhao Xu immediately felt as if he had a backer, and immediately ran around in the night market with a cheer, clamoring to eat this, arguing for a while to go to see people playing circus, and arguing for the second brother Zhao Zhi to buy gifts for them, looking at Zhao Xu's happy appearance, Zhao Yan's face was full of smiles again, and now Zhao Xu showed the innocence and nature that a child should have.

In the end, Zhao Xu was tired of playing, so he bought several large bags of fried sweet potato balls with Zhao Yan, this thing is mainly made of sweet potatoes and flour, with some honey and bean paste added to it, and then fried in oil, it tastes sticky and sweet, Zhao Xu likes to eat it very much, and Zhao Yan also feels that it tastes good, so this became their dinner today, and he also brought some to the children at home.

When Zhao Yan took Zhao Xu back home, it was already the third watch, Zhao Xu fell asleep eating sweet potato balls, and he didn't swallow half a ball in his mouth, Zhao Yan asked Zhao Xu to scrub his hands and face, and then sent him back to rest, because Zhao Xu was going to stay here for one night, so he had already prepared a place for him to live, in Zhao Jia's yard, as long as the boys in Zhao Yan's family were over six years old, they had to live alone in a courtyard, so as to cultivate their independence.

Zhao Yan also felt very tired at this time, after all, he was riding in a carriage and telling stories on this day, but as long as Zhao Xu could be better taught, it was worth it no matter how tired he was.

"Husband, you ran for a day, and they didn't pay so much attention to educating Jia'er before, right?" As soon as Zhao Yan returned to the bedroom, Cao Ying said sourly, it was her turn to rest here today, but Zhao Yan didn't come back until midnight, which made her complain.

"If you don't care, you can't do it, if Jia'er and they don't become talented, it will nothing more than ruin the reputation of our palace, but if Xu'er doesn't become talented, then our life in the Great Song Dynasty will not be easy!" Zhao Yan also said helplessly at this time, Zhao Xu is probably the student he teaches the most, because he is burdened with the fate of a big empire.

Cao Ying is not a woman who messes around, seeing the wry smile on Zhao Yan's face, she also understood her husband's intentions at the moment, and walked over and gently helped Zhao Yan pinch his shoulders and said: "It's really bitter husband, that is, I want to be lazy and care about the people of the world, I hope our nephew can live up to your teaching and become a generation of Mingjun, so that in the future, the husband can also worry less!" ”

Although Cao Ying was comforting Zhao Yan and what she said was the truth, Zhao Yan seemed to be a little awkward when she heard it, what did she mean by wanting to be lazy? But if you think about it seriously, if you agreed to take over the throne at the beginning, there would indeed be so many troubles, but unfortunately you don't want to be bound and free by a throne, and now you can only do your best to cultivate a good emperor for the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Yan woke up the next day, but after washing, he looked for Zhao Xu to eat, and then sent him back to the palace, but he didn't expect Zhao Xu to be playing with Zhao Jia and others, when he saw Zhao Yan, his little face immediately collapsed and said very aggrievedly: "Third uncle, I don't want to go back to the palace, can you let me live here all the time?"
