Chapter 18: Do what you want and make King Yi happy every day

 In the Southern Song Dynasty, there were more ways to travel by water. They took a carriage to the dock, and then boarded a boat, which could go all the way to the capital. In mid-July, Zhao and Rui arrived in Lin'an.

On the day, we first checked into Dutingyi on the west side of Ni Road in Houchaomen near the palace. Dutingyi is a base for receiving foreign envoys, also known as Hakka Province or Sifangguan.

An official from the Ministry of Rites paid a visit to Zhao Yurui and informed him of some matters. In a few days, the officials would personally greet him. They also told him what etiquette and palace titles he should have at that time, and that they would be tailor-made for him.

King Yi’s robes, crowns and many other items.

Only then did Zhao and Rui find out that he had an heir named Yu in the capital.

The King of Yi he succeeded was the throne of Zhao Lu, and he was hereditary as Zhao Lu's heir, and Zhao Lu was posthumously named King of Yi after his death.

Zhao Jue was the grandson of Song Xiaozong Zhao He and the second son of Wei Huixian King Zhao Kai. Due to the clan system of the Song Dynasty, he did not have the hereditary title of King Wei of his father until his death. Of course, Ning Zong was actually very kind to him, but Zhao Jue was young.

After his death, he should have been sealed before he could come. After his death, he was granted the posthumous title of King Yi (he was demoted and inherited).

Before he died, he wrote a suicide note saying that his son unfortunately died young, but there was still an old mother in Gaotang who needed to serve, and there was no one to worship the incense of this branch. Please choose an eldest son of equal Zhaomu among your close relatives and adopt him to serve the king of Wei.

Incense.

Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty took great care of his younger cousin, so he decided to select a descendant of the clan to adopt Zhao Lu and named him King Yi. This was also a title that Zhao and Rui could inherit.

Zhao Suan was only in his thirties when he died. He left behind a wife named Yu, who was granted the title of Lady of the Two Countries and is now the mother-in-law of Zhao and Rui.

So when Zhao Yurui arrived in Lin'an, he found that he had another mother.

After dinner, Zhao Yurui was in the room reading a book left by the Ministry of Etiquette, which contained some etiquette rules for entering the palace. Suddenly Zhou Lai came to report in a hurry: "Someone outside the courtyard reported that it was the Right Prime Minister Shi Miyuan who asked to see King Yi."<

/p>

"Quickly pass the message." Zhao Yurui sent Zhou Lai to hurry up and pass the message.

As soon as Zhou Lai left, he messed up his hair and clothes and ran out quickly.

I originally wanted to imitate Cao Cao and kick off one of his boots, but after thinking about it, I decided not to act so exaggeratedly.

As soon as I walked to the middle of the courtyard, I saw a middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance walking forward, accompanied by Zhou Lai.

Shi Miyuan's face is a bit round and he has a three-goat beard. He looks more like a teacher.

As soon as he walked into the yard, he saw Zhao Yurui running out and was slightly startled.

When he saw Zhao Yurui's messy appearance, a faint smile flashed in his eyes.

"Old minister Shi Miyuan, I would like to pay my respects to the king." Shi Miyuan was still more than ten steps away from Zhao Yurui at this time, making a gesture of kneeling down to worship.

"Prime Minister, hurry up and excuse me." Zhao Yurui screamed, taking three steps and two steps at a time, he rushed to Shi Miyuan like flying, and held Shi Miyuan tightly with both hands, and lifted him up.

At this time, Shi Miyuan clearly observed that Zhao Yurui's hands were shaking, his face was red, and his expression was excited.

He took advantage of the situation and stood up, only to see that Zhao Yurui's hands holding his arms were still shaking.

It can be seen that Zhao Yurui is very excited, or very scared.

"Your Majesty is really a heroic young man." Shi Miyuan stroked his three-goat moustache with a proud expression.

Zhao and Rui jumped over the dragon gate and suddenly jumped from ordinary people to royal vassals. Shi Miyuan's current mood is clear.

At this time, Zhou Lai and the people who came in with Shi Miyuan were already far away.

They were the only two in the yard.

Zhao Yurui immediately said: "My mother said that without the help of the Prime Minister, you and Rui would still be wild men in the fields. The Prime Minister and Rui are really blessed to be reborn as parents. Please accept and pay homage to Rui."

"Your Majesty, you can't." Shi Miyuan also offered support.

But Zhao and Rui plopped down and knelt heavily on one knee.

"Ah ah ah, I'm sorry for you, old minister. Your Majesty, please get up quickly." Shi Miyuan then used all his strength to help Zhao Yurui up.

After helping Zhao Yurui up, he nodded with satisfaction, reached out and patted Zhao Yurui's shoulder heavily: "Let's go, let's talk inside."

"Prime Minister, please." Zhao Yurui strode forward at first, then seemed to notice something was wrong, brushed his face, with a panic expression on his face, and quickly stepped back half a body, behind Shi Miyuan.

Shi Miyuan looked at Zhao Yurui's bewildered look and was secretly amused.

That brother, Zhao Yuju, is mature and stable, and knows etiquette and propriety, which is indeed good, but to be the emperor, it is better to be like Zhao Yurui.

At this time, the image of Zhao Yurui in his mind has slowly been finalized. He has a naughty temperament and is not mature enough. He is not only timid and cowardly, but also has some self-awareness. This kind of person is still easy to control.

"The four words "Fuxiang, Ankang" written by the king that day, the old minister thought it was very good."

"My mother has taught me since childhood that the most important thing in life is to be happy." Zhao Yurui said a little shyly: "Yurui is very happy now."

You will be happier in the future, Shi Miyuan said with a smile in his heart.

He looked around the room and found that it was a bit messy. Some of Zhao Yurui's clothes and books were scattered everywhere.

This kid still needs to be taught a lot, but he doesn't have time to talk about that now.

"Old minister, to make a long story short, His Majesty will summon you at any time. When you meet His Majesty -"

Shi Miyuan knew that Song Ningzong was kind and might let Zhao Yurui go to Qingyuan Mansion (Ningbo) according to previous arrangements.

Because the father of King Yi Zhaojuan, King Zhao Kai of Wei Huixian, first sentenced Ningguo Mansion and then Mingzhou (Ningzong later changed it to Qingyuan Mansion), his home was in Mingzhou.

Zhao Huan was also born in Mingzhou (Qingyuan Prefecture) and came to Lin'an Wei Prince's Mansion as an adult.

So in theory, Zhao Yurui now has two homes, one in Qingyuan Mansion and one in Lin'an.

Shi Miyuan asked Zhao and Rui to stay in Lin'an Wei Palace.

However, the Wei Palace has Zhao Lu's wife Yu. Considering that Yu is not very young and Zhao and Rui are not young, there is a slight possibility that the emperor will sentence Zhao and Rui to Qingyuan Mansion.

The meaning of the Song Dynasty's judgment is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, but at the same time, it must be the local military and political leader (in addition, the court will have a long history and Sima Zhi to cooperate). Wei Wang Zhao Kai was the leader at the beginning, and he was one of the few people in the clan who could outsource local affairs.

But after this precedent was set, things like this happened one after another.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

The outsourced Zhao Yurui is not what Shi Miyuan needs.

Shi Miyuan wanted to keep him in Lin'an. On the one hand, it would be easier to control, and on the other hand, it would be convenient to depose Zhao Hong in the future.

Not long after, Shi Miyuan came out of Duting Post. In addition to a sedan waiting for him outside, Yu Tianxi was also there.

"How is the Prime Minister?" Yu Tianxi stepped forward and asked cautiously.

"My mind is still young. When I speak, my mother says my mother says--" Shi Miyuan smiled and said, "It's pretty good."

"I heard that he likes beauties? Of course he likes beautiful women." Let him play with things and get bored.

Yu Tianxi is thoughtful.

Liang Chengda came back from Shaoxing and reported to Shi Miyuan that Zhao Yurui fought with the local salt merchant over a widow, and his cousin Quan Yong even killed someone. (But as Zhao Yurui expected, Liang Chengda did not say anything.

Other things happened, including the proposal to give him an extra 10% at the time and the gift of 300 guan afterwards.)

Thinking about Zhao Yurui's performance in the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, he saw that the beautiful Qiuyue couldn't move his legs, and when he found an opportunity, he would touch her. He was indeed a lustful and frivolous person.

Previously, Shi Miyuan was afraid that Zhao Yurui was deliberately frivolous and had hidden agendas in the Prime Minister's Mansion. When he heard that he had killed people for widows in Shaoxing, he was sure that Zhao Yurui was a lecher.

But Yu Tianxi has no ill feelings towards him. Men are lustful, which is their nature. Zhao Yurui never hides it. Unlike Zhao Yuju, who is serious in front of others, but still refuses to admit it when he teases Xiao Tao behind others.

"Zhao Yuju looks calm on the surface, but is actually treacherous. Zhao Yurui has a childish nature and is playful and lustful. The prime minister chose King Yi really well this time." Yu Tianxi said with a smile.

"Hahaha." Shi Miyuan laughed and said: "When the officials let him stay in the capital, he will send Qiuyue from my house over. He likes beautiful women, so we will send more beautiful women."

Yu Tianxi said again: "The Prime Minister is wise."

"I'll leave this matter to you. I'll select some more young and beautiful girls and send them to Prince Wei's Mansion. If Prince Yi wants to be happy, let him be happy every day."
