Early morning, Jiguo Gongfu, back garden.
Although there are not many pavilions and pavilions, there is a rockery, a garden everywhere, countless green trees, surrounded by green brick paths and green bricks, making everything quiet.
Zhao Hong was running in the back garden. Although it was a bit strenuous, it was acceptable. His body didn't feel as strong as when he was in his early twenties, but he felt happy that he had been reborn.
Being young, vigorous and refreshed is often accompanied by ambition and ambition.
Even those born in Rome wanted a better and more perfect life. Thinking about all the humbleness and dissatisfaction in his previous life, Zhao Hong naturally had the idea of changing his destiny.
In the late Southern Song Dynasty, various heroes competed for hegemony, and in the era of great contention, various forces competed to take the stage, and the Mongolian cavalry dominated the world. This reminded him of Yuan Datou's words in a later poem.
The dragon in Daze is stinging, and the deer in the Central Plains are getting fat.
In troubled times, if you want to succeed and prove the value of life, you need to do something big, not to follow the trend, but to become a trendsetter of this era. It is not the times that create heroes, but heroes that change the times.
The destiny of life must be in your own hands.
Even if everything doesn't go as planned, we still have to rely on nearly a thousand years of knowledge and foresight to give it a try.
In the attic, Xu Ji and the two maids looked at Zhao Hong who was "escaping" crazily in the woods with surprise in their eyes.
"Sister, what do you think he is doing? Is he feeling bad and just running around alone to relieve his boredom?"
The maid Chuntao asked in surprise.
How could a person be forced to do such an outrageous thing?
"I heard that His Highness had a tit-for-tat confrontation with Prime Minister Shi in the court yesterday, and had a heated argument with the ministers. Do you think His Highness was stimulated?"
Another maid, Xia Meng, said suspiciously.
"This must be the case. Your Highness was such a gentle and gentle person before, but he has never been like this. It seems that something happened when he went to court, and he can't stand it when he comes back!"
Xu Ji suddenly realized this and was secretly shocked.
How can Zhao Hong live his life like this? Do you still dare to let Zhao Hong get close?
"Sister, look, His Highness is going crazy again!"
Xu Ji was lost in thought when Chuntao's voice interrupted her again. She looked up and saw that Zhao Hong had started doing push-ups on the lawn again.
"What kind of posture is this? Why does it look... make people feel... embarrassed."
The maid Xia Meng's face suddenly turned red.
"You, at such a young age, what are you thinking about?"
Xu Ji sneered and lightly poked Xia Meng's forehead.
These things need to be known to the people behind them.
"Sister, His Highness was not with you last night. Is he feeling uncomfortable, or does he already have someone else?"
Chuntao asked in a low voice.
Zhao Hong dotes on Xu Ji, but he didn't have sex last night. This is really unusual.
"No way, I've never heard him say that."
Xu Ji shook her head suspiciously.
She could feel Zhao Hong's vague alienation from her. This had never happened before yesterday.
Zhao Hong is passionate by nature and falls in love with everyone he sees. There are so many beauties in Lin'an Mansion, so Zhao Hong doesn't really have a crush on other women, right?
Is Zhao Hong going to find his former concubine Zhou again?
"All men are like this, and His Highness is no exception. If he likes other women, he won't let you know, sister!"
Chuntao laughed softly.
"Chun Tao, stop talking so much. Let's go out and grab some soothing herbs. By the way, I want to ask the doctor, what kind of illness does His Highness have? Can it be cured?"
Xu Ji rolled her eyes and spoke softly.
Zhao Hong just fell in love with other women, so what could she do?
She was just a plaything beside Zhao Hong, who was worse than a concubine.
Xu Ji was about to leave when she saw Li Tang walking towards the backyard and stopped again.
"Xia Meng, go and listen carefully. What did they talk about? Remember, don't be discovered!"
Xia Meng knew it well, so he quickly agreed and followed quietly.
In the back garden, after running and doing dozens of push-ups, Zhao Hong's arms were sore and he couldn't hold on anymore. He just sat comfortably on the grass and gasped for air. Compared with myself when I was younger, I am much different now.
It seems that the time and space that I am in can't be returned. Once I'm here, I'll make peace with it. I have to find a way to survive in this era.
After staying for two days, he gradually understood his current situation. According to the trend of history, he has no way out and can only fight with the opponent.
Li Tang entered the back garden and saw Zhao Hong sitting on the ground sweating profusely, and reminded him with a dark face.
"Your Highness, don't stay cold. It's getting late, it's time to go see Princess Yi!"
Zhao Hong's strange way of exercising seems novel, but I don't know if it is useful.
"Li Tang, don't be so serious, relax."
Zhao Hong tried to fight the carp, but failed. He sat up straight, looked around, and continued to ask:
"Li Tang, are there any horses in the house?"
He is on the northwest branch. Although he can ride a horse, he can only ride a horse. In this era, it is not enough to know how to ride. You must also have superb riding skills, and it is best to be able to ride and shoot.
"Your Highness, there is no horse in the house, so you usually ride in a sedan. Besides, you don't dare to ride a horse! If His Highness falls, it will be a big deal, and little people cannot bear the punishment!"
Li Tang shook his head and said seriously.
Officials in the Song Dynasty usually traveled by horseback or car, and in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, they began to travel in sedan chairs. When the Song Dynasty traveled south, there was a shortage of horses. Except for going to court and some ceremonial activities, officials still had to ride horses, and officials basically rode in sedan chairs.
There are not many children of powerful people who can ride horses, which is related to their family background, martial arts training and outings. As a prince, Zhao Hong can naturally do it, but he is not good at riding.
"Can I buy a horse?"
Zhao Hong asked with a smile.
"Your Highness, there are many good horses in the horse market, but they are a bit expensive."
"Go and buy some good horses later, all equipped with saddles and bridles. One for each of the guards except me, and hire a horse breeder by the way. We are not short of money!"
Zhao Hong smiled proudly.
Your majestic prince doesn't even have the money to buy a few horses, right?
"Okay, Your Highness, I will do it tomorrow, don't worry!"
Li Tang laughed unconsciously and did not forget to give a warning.
"Your Highness, you can only ride a horse after you have mastered your riding skills!"
From today, no, from tomorrow, he is also a member of the horse family.
"It's not easy to make you happy!"
Zhao Hong laughed. In future generations, this would be equivalent to buying a BMW for each employee, which is an absolutely high welfare.
Zhao Hong stood up, patted his butt, and suddenly remembered something.
"Li Tang, on the day he went to court, Zhen Dexiu talked about Jia She, the former envoy of Huainan East Road, and seemed to look down on his character. Do you know why?"
"Huainan East Road Zhizhi Jia She? It's not a matter of buying a wife and throwing her away!"
Li Tang was startled, then blurted out, with a look of disdain in his eyes.
"Why do you buy a wife and then throw her away? Tell me carefully!"
Zhao Hong asked enthusiastically, like a woman with a long tongue.
Li Tang's contemptuous expression was exactly the same as Zhen Dexiu's desire to speak.
He is an absolute scumbag who buys wives and throws them away. It seems that this Jia She must have bad personal ethics and a very problematic lifestyle.
"Everyone in Lin'an Mansion knows that Jia She started in chaos and ended up abandoning him. Why have you forgotten, Your Highness?"
Li Tang reacted and asked curiously.
"I can't remember clearly, please tell me again!"
Zhao Hong laughed heartlessly, eager to know this strange thing.
"Your Highness, why have you forgotten this?"
Li Tang looked at Zhao Hong, shook his head and started talking.
"In the early years of Jiading, Jia She, who had just passed the year, was waiting for the election in Lin'an Mansion. When he came to Fengkou in Qiantang, he happened to see a good-looking woman washing clothes. Jia She, who was interested, walked up to talk to her. , and went home with his wife Hu. Jia She negotiated with Hu's husband, and Jia She purchased Hu as his concubine. After Hu became Jia She's concubine, she gave birth to a son for Jia She in the sixth year of Jiading."
When Li Tang said this, he paused slightly, and Zhao Hong couldn't help but take over.
"That's okay. Since the three parties are mutually supportive and Hu has already followed Jia She, then he can be considered to be living a good life. Isn't there anything wrong with that?"
Hu's husband is not a toy. Jia She comes from a wealthy family, so Hu's following Jia She can be regarded as a blessing after all the hardships.
Although, buying a wife is something that ordinary people cannot do. But for these scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty, this was not a big deal. In this era, the status of concubines can be described as low. Didn't the famous Su Dongpo also give his two beautiful concubines to his friends?
"If only this were the case!"
Li Tang and Zhao Hong talked while walking, full of interest.
"After having a son, Jia She had no wife, so Mr. Hu thought he could take care of his son in his old age. However, at this time, Jia She had a prosperous official career, but Mr. Hu was old and waning. When his son was about three or four years old, Jia She passed away. Abandoning Mrs. Hu, who had been with him for ten years. Mrs. Hu's mother and son were separated, and she could only marry a villager and live an ordinary life with her husband. Your Highness, do you think this Jia She is a beast in disguise? "
He bought a wife, gave birth to a son, was kicked out of the house, and left the house.
This Jia She was eaten and wiped clean and kicked away. He was indeed even more of a scumbag than a scumbag. No wonder both Zhen Dexiu and Li Tang looked down on Jia She.
"Then why did Jia She drive away the Hu family? Did the Hu family do something shameful?"
Zhao Hong was still a little confused.
Wouldn't Mrs. Hu be the standard stepmother that people define as a vicious snake and scorpion?
"Your Highness, it seems that as a member of the royal family, you don't know the sufferings of the people. You must know that concubines have a low status and can be bought and sold at will. Mrs. Hu has followed Jia She, does she dare to make a mistake?"
Regarding the status of women in ancient times, Li Tang gave Zhao Hong some popular science.
"The concubine gave birth to a son for him, and he drove the concubine away. This man cherished his own feathers too much. He knew that Li Quan of Chuzhou could not control it, and he wanted to retreat bravely. His talent and knowledge are acceptable, but his integrity is lacking. He can only be regarded as talented. Be of virtue and possess moderate qualifications!”
Li Tang kept chattering, and when he raised his head, he realized that Zhao Hong was looking at him with a frown on his face, his eyes dark.
"Your Highness, I'm so rude!"
Li Tang quickly nodded and bowed, with an apologetic smile on his face.
What I just said to myself was indeed a bit rude.
"Li Tang, is Jia She and Hu's son called Jia Sidao? Also, Jia She has a daughter who is as beautiful as a flower. Isn't that right?"
Zhao Hong asked after thinking.
He knew about Jia Sidao because he was famous in history and had seen it in TV series. The abandoned Hu family was Jia Sidao's biological mother.
"Your Highness, Jia She and his first wife Shi have a son and a daughter. The eldest son Jia Guandao is about seventeen or eighteen years old and is studying at the Imperial College. The second daughter is fourteen or fifteen years old and I don't know if she is beautiful. Jia She and the Hu family have a son, it is Jia Guandao. Like Tao."
Li Tang looked at Zhao Hong in surprise. Zhao Hong wouldn't take advantage of the situation and want to attack Lady Jia, right?
When did he meet Jia Nu?
"Look what I'm doing, I've never done anything like buying a wife and throwing away another's wife!"
Zhao Hong glared at Li Tang.
It was indeed Jia Sidao! It is indeed Concubine Jia!
Jia She's daughter must be the concubine Jia of Lizong Zhao Guicheng and Zhao Yun in history. Song Lizong once wanted to make Concubine Jia the queen, which shows the beauty of this girl.
"Li Tang, help me find out the details of Jia She's family, and then report to me."
It was Jia Sidao and a famous beauty in history. Zhao Hong's interest was immediately piqued.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Jia She's eldest son Jia Guandao is studying at Taixue University. You can go and inquire about the situation of Jia's family, especially the situation of Jia's daughter. That may be what Zhao Hong wants to know most.
"Li Tang, from now on, you have to teach me how to box and practice martial arts every day until I have six-pack abs."
This body of mine is too weak.
When it came to practicing boxing, Zhao Hong's heart moved and his eyes lit up unconsciously.
Later, when his mother was seriously ill, he learned a set of Tai Chi from his physical education teacher when he was in college, just to help his mother recover.
"Your Highness, what are you thinking about?"
"Do not talk!"
Zhao Hong was on the grass, slowly starting to fight, mumbling something.
"Tai Chi is born from the infinite, the movement of the infinite creates yang, the stillness creates yin, Tai Chi is the yin and yang..."
"Your Highness, what kind of punch are you doing? It's impressive!"
Li Tang looked at it for a while, his eyes full of surprise.
"You are ignorant! This is called Tai Chi!"
Zhao Hong said without stopping his body movements. The muscle memory is still there, after playing it a few times, the routine has become familiar, and the whole person has become warm.
Treasure boy?
Zhao Hong couldn't help but smile.
"Go ahead and prepare some gifts. It's time to go to Prince Yi's Mansion."
Zhao Hong couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about facing the "successor" whom he had never met before.
She has to act casually and show her true feelings again. This emotion is not an easy one to brew.
Looking at the shoe tips and a small piece of skirt exposed behind the rockery, Zhao Hong made a gesture with his eyes and raised his voice deliberately.
"Li Tang, I've been restless lately. I always dream about someone trying to harm me. You should always stay away, otherwise it would be a great injustice if you were killed by me."
"Your Highness, be careful! If you kill the villain, what will the villain's family do?"
Li Tang knew it well and cried out with a dark face.
After looking at the rockery again, the skirt disappeared, obviously the eavesdropper had quietly left.
