Chapter 587: Jia'er's Education
Hearing Zhao Shu ask if he had any plans to change the law, the look on Zhao Shu's face was also unpredictable, and he didn't answer for a long time, and Zhao Shu's eyes looked at him more and more severely. Seeing this, Zhao Yan hurriedly opened his mouth and said: "Father, it is not possible to make a decision on such a big matter as changing the law at once, so Father Emperor should give the eldest brother some time to think about it!" ”
When Zhao Yan heard Zhao Yan help him speak, he couldn't help but feel relieved at the moment, and immediately saluted Zhao Shu and said: "Father, what the third brother said is very true, although the son is a little interested in changing the law, but he also knows that the matter of changing the law involves heavy dà, so now he is also hesitating, and he doesn't know how to answer his father for a while." ”
When Zhao Shu heard Zhao Ji's words, he just glanced at him deeply, and then closed his eyes as if he was very tired and didn't say anything, and after a while, Zhao Shu said weakly: "I'm tired, you all stand down, and Yan Er will tell your sister about my illness, and let them go into the palace more to talk about me in the next few days!" ”
"Yes, the retainer obeys!" Zhao Yan agreed immediately, and then withdrew from the Vertical Arch Hall with Zhao Ji.
It's just that after Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan left, Zhao Shu, who had closed his eyes, suddenly opened his somewhat cloudy eyes, looked in the direction where Zhao Ji's brothers left, and then sighed weakly. Although Zhao Ji did not answer his question directly, his expression had already betrayed him, and in Zhao Ji's heart, he must be biased towards changing the law, otherwise he would not have considered it for so long.
As soon as he thought of the above, Zhao Shu felt irritable, and even coughed violently again, originally he was very satisfied with Zhao Xu, the heir to the throne, but he didn't expect that in the end, there would be a Wang Anshi to trick Zhao Xuan into making any changes. But how can this ancestral method be so changeable? One is not careful, and the Great Song Dynasty will fall into the abyss from which it will never recover.
Zhao Ji, who left, didn't know that his father had seen through his thoughts, and when he got out of the Vertical Arch Palace, he also thanked Zhao Yan and said, "Third brother, thank you for excusing me in front of my father just now, otherwise I really don't know how to answer." ”
"The eldest brother is polite, but the change of the law involves a lot. The eldest brother still has to think about it seriously, in addition, the father is not in good health during this time, and the eldest brother and Mr. Linchuan should not interact too much, so as not to get angry after the father knows. Zhao Yan also opened his mouth to persuade at this time, although he knew that it would be difficult for Zhao Yan to listen to his persuasion, but this could be regarded as his brotherhood.
Sure enough, Zhao Ji didn't say anything when he heard Zhao Yan's words, but said a little perfunctory that he would pay attention to this time and distance himself from Wang Anshi, but he didn't say a word about changing the law. This also made Zhao Yan sigh secretly, it seems that Zhao Yan has made up his mind to change the law, and even compared with when he decided to marry Hua Zhi, he couldn't be persuaded by some words alone.
At that moment, Zhao Yan and Zhao Yan were separated in front of the palace gate, and then returned home with worries about the future of the Great Song Dynasty, it was not yet noon, Zhao Yan wanted to go to Princess Shoukang and Princess Bao'an, and then tell them that Zhao Shu was sick. It's just that I didn't expect to pounce on the air, and I just asked the maid to find out. It turned out that Princess Shoukang was asked by Cao Song to visit the garden, and Princess Shoukang was worried that Princess Bao'an would stay at home and get sick, so she was also forcibly dragged away.
Seeing that the two sisters were not at home, Zhao Yan had to wait for them to come back, but after leaving Princess Bao'an's courtyard, Zhao Yan unknowingly came to Cao Ying's door. Hearing Cao Ying's voice teaching Xiao Zhao Jia inside, he couldn't help but push the door in, only to see Cao Ying holding a ring ruler in one hand and a book in the other, teaching Zhao Jia to read and write seriously. Every time you read a mistake, you have to take a ring ruler, although Cao Ying can't bear to hit too hard, but Zhao Jia's two little hands have also become red, it seems that she has misread a lot of words.
"Daddy~" Zhao Jia, who was less than two years old, saw Zhao Yan come in, and immediately shouted with an aggrieved face, and at the same time jumped down from the small stool and flew to Zhao Yan, it is estimated that in his current heart, Zhao Yan is simply a Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering.
"Lady, you're too anxious, Jia'er is not yet two years old, and she can't even speak clearly, how can you teach him to read and write so early?" Zhao Yan hugged Zhao Jia and then looked at his red little hands, and couldn't help but feel very heartbroken at the moment, such an older child should have been the age when he liked to play the most, but now he was forced by Cao Ying to read and write, which is not a good thing.
"Why not, the second son of the third sister's family already knew a lot of words when Jia'er was so old, Jia'er is the prince of the king, if you don't educate it now, you will lose the face of our parents in the future." Cao Ying said with a natural face, her own son has high hopes, and in her concept, the sooner the child is educated, the better, and the older it is, the skin will be, and it is not easy to teach it if she wants to educate.
"Your education method is not right, the child is still young, it is the time when he needs to liberate his nature, his nature at this age is to play, even if he wants to educate, he must educate in play, not like you with a ring ruler to play out!" Zhao Yan listens to Cao Ying for everything else, but only in educating children, he must not compromise.
"But that's how the boy from the concubine's mother's family was taught, and even the concubine came over like this, so there's no problem?" Cao Ying was still stubborn at this time, but a subtle smile flashed in her eyes.
"Why is it okay, isn't Cao Song an example, I suspect that the reason why he likes to steal things is related to your family's wrong education method!" Zhao Yan is not alarmist, but has a scientific basis, Cao Song's mental illness of stealing things is actually related to the environment and education when he was a child, which made his psychology pathological.
"Then what should I do, the concubine will only educate the child like this!" Cao Ying said very aggrieved at this time, but the smile in her eyes was more obvious at this time, but unfortunately Zhao Yan didn't notice it at this time.
"You don't understand, I understand, Jia'er will be by my side in the future, and he will definitely not make him worse than other children!" Zhao Yan said without hesitation, he usually educates so many students, and naturally he can't let go of his own son.
"Giggle~, just wait for the husband's words, and Jia'er's education will be handed over to the husband in the future!" Cao Ying suddenly smiled happily when she heard this, she forced Jia'er to learn to read and write during this time, in fact, the main thing was to remind Zhao Yan to pay attention to Jia'er's education, after all, it was time for Jia'er to start education.
"I've been fooled again, look at your lady, you really took great pains for Jia'er!" Zhao Yan finally understood when he heard this, and said with a helpless smile at the moment, Jia'er didn't understand what her parents were saying, so she could only look at this and then that with a pair of big eyes, her eyes were full of confusion.
Seeing Jia'er's cute appearance, Zhao Yan leaned down and patted his little face, and then asked the nurse to take him to Siyue and Siling sisters to play, at this time Cao Ying also found that Zhao Yan had something on her mind, and immediately said: "Husband, did something happen in the palace, I just saw that you were worried?" ”
"Well, my father is suddenly seriously ill, and the situation is very bad!" Zhao Yan had nothing to hide from Cao Ying, so he immediately told him about Zhao Shu's serious illness, and in the end, he didn't even hide what happened after he and Zhao Yan entered the palace to see Zhao Shu, because he wanted to hear Cao Ying's opinion on this matter.
"Big brother is usually a very smart person, how can he be confused by the change?" After Cao Ying listened, she frowned, she didn't have a good impression of Wang Anshi, and she was even more resolutely opposed to the change, so when she heard that Zhao Ji actually wanted to change the law, she was also a little distressed, after all, she knew very well the consequences of the failure of the change, which was not good for a nobleman like her.
"Alas, I can guess a thing or two about the eldest brother's thoughts, he is a very confident person, thinking that he can become an excellent emperor, especially after the destruction of Western Xia, which makes his ambitions skyrocket, and he wants to be an emperor like Tang Taizong, but the shortcomings in the Great Song Dynasty have slowed down his pace, and he is unwilling to spend a lot of time to change the Great Song Dynasty little by little, so although the method of changing the law is risky, but it is very profitable, it has become his best choice, and he believes that he is behind the support, I will definitely be able to make the change successful, so I am so persistent in changing the law. Zhao Yan analyzed at the moment, and he also did some research on Zhao Ji's psychology, so he came to these conclusions.
"It's understandable to make a contribution, but eldest brother is too risky, hasn't he thought about the consequences of failing to change the law?" Cao Ying also said anxiously again when she heard this.
"Alas, didn't I say it, the eldest brother is a very confident person, even a little blind confidence, he thinks that what others can't accomplish, but he can complete it, this is also human nature, many people have such thoughts." Zhao Yan explained helplessly again, and it was precisely because he understood Zhao Ji's psychology that he thought it was basically impossible to persuade Zhao Ji to change his mind.
"I see, the eldest brother is no longer confident, but a little arrogant, although there are many people who have proposed changes throughout the ages, but there is only one Shang Yang who can succeed, and even if it is Shang Ying, there is no good end." Cao Ying's brows furrowed even tighter at this time, she was already thinking about what kind of losses their county palace would suffer in this movement to change the law, and how to survive this turmoil?
In the evening, Princess Shoukang and Princess Bao'an finally came back, when they learned the news that Zhao Shu was seriously ill, they all cried bitterly, and immediately wanted to enter the palace, but were stopped by Zhao Yan, after all, it was getting late now, if they entered the palace at this time, they would disturb Zhao Shu's rest, and secondly, they would let some people guess something.
It's just that what the three Zhao Yan sisters and brothers never expected was that on the same night, a mysterious guest suddenly came to the county palace. (To be continued......)
