Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu were free to talk and laugh, and were not as strict as the monarch and ministers. Perhaps it was a friend of life and death for many years, or Zhao Kuangyin's over-reliance. At present, he gave the greatest trust in Zhao Pu and became the solemn prime minister of the Song Dynasty.

The position above ten thousand people is no less than that of the prime minister in the Qin and Han dynasties.

However, Zhao Pu had just taken office for a month, his power was not solid and his prestige had not been fully established. Therefore, the scheming and powerful aura that the prime minister had unique to him had not yet been cultivated.

At this time, footsteps came from the door. Eunuch General Manager Zhang Dejun walked into the imperial study room and said in a slight voice: "Report to the official family, His Highness the Second Prince is waiting outside the door."

Zhao Kuangyin has four sons, but the eldest prince Zhao Dexiu and the third prince both died prematurely and did not grow up. The second prince Zhao Dezhao and the fourth prince Zhao Defang are now growing up, and they are both young people.

"Oh, Zhao'er is here? Xuan will come in."

"Here!" Zhang Dejun turned around and walked outside the door to deliver the oral order.

In an instant, fourteen-year-old Zhao Dezhao looked young, with beautiful eyebrows, jade crown, brocade silk robe, decently tailored, looking tall and handsome, showing extraordinary heroic posture.

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at his son with a high look, showing a hint of relief.

"My son pays homage to my father!" Zhao Dezhao bowed and bowed respectfully.

Zhao Kuangyin held his hand out from the air and said, "No gift!"

After Zhao Dezhao got up, he reached out to Zhao Pu and bowed: "I have met Zhao Xiang!"

He understood the relationship between Zhao Pu and his father, and had a close relationship with each other, and had a deep friendship. In addition, his father won the world, and Zhao Xiang had many contributions. Before his father ascended the throne, these younger generations would call Zhao Bo when they saw Zhao Pu. Now they have different identities, but the second prince Zhao Dezhao would not be rude.

Zhao Pu also bowed and returned the courtesy and said, "I have met His Highness the Second Prince!"

After bowing to each other, Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Dezhao with a smile and asked, "What's the matter when you come to my imperial study?"

The young man Zhao Dezhao said respectfully: "Son of my son comes here to pay tribute to my father! At the same time, my son of my son recently listened to the Hanlin scholar explaining the situation in the north and south, so he wrote an article in his study, with shallow views and asked his father to correct his teachings."

When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he became interested. He was half a rough man and came from a military family. In the first year of Qianyou in the Later Han Dynasty (948), he joined the position of the Privy Councilor of the Later Han Dynasty, Guo Wei, and later followed Guo Wei to fight against the rebellion of the Hezhong Jiedushi Li Shouzhen, and made many military achievements. Guo Wei became emperor and established the Later Zhou Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin was appointed as the leader of the East and West Team and was appointed as the deputy commander of Huazhou.

When Chai Rong ascended the throne, Zhao Kuangyin followed him to fight south and north, and his official title was promoted all the way. He was appointed as the governor of the Yicheng Army, the Taibao of the Procuratorate, and the commander-in-chief of the Palace. He had military power and had a high prestige.

It can be said that Zhao Kuangyin was very talented in leading troops to fight and deploying troops; his martial arts skills were also good, and he created Taizu Changquan, stick technique, etc., and in history he was rated as a military strategist and martial artist in the late Five Dynasties and early Northern Song Dynasty. However, his reading and knowledge were not meticulous, and he was not good at poetry, songs, and beautiful articles.

When Zhao Kuangyin heard the prince write an article about his views on the situation, he became interested. He took the silk paper handed over by Zhao Dezhao and swept the content on it. The words were written in a normal manner, and even the fonts were a bit handsome, lacking boldness and skinnyness, and were as beautiful as a woman's handwriting.

"Since the Tang Dynasty lost its power, the world collapsed, the four states and counties were divided, and the heroes stood up..."

Fourteen-year-old Zhao Dezhao listened to the lectures of many attendants and bachelors in the Hanlin Academy. There were many old Confucian scholars who talked about military affairs on paper. They started from the morality of the people of the world and talked about the strategies of benevolence and righteousness in the governance and merger of the world. Some attendants also advocated the first attack on the Northern Han Dynasty, unify the north, and recapture the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, and then went south to fight against the barbarians without any worries.

After these views were absorbed by Zhao Dezhao, they were mixed. He was a young man who had been a wealthy family and the palace since childhood. He was just heard of the world, so his views seemed to be all the same, and there were inevitably chaos and contradictions.

After reading it, Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly, and was sure of the enlightenment and practice of writing articles to the prince to analyze the situation in the world. As for whether the content is completely accurate, it is secondary.

Because of the matters of the court, the matter was very important. Even the emperor, who discussed with the think tank ministers of the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall, could not form a unified view. They had different opinions and had their own reasons. Zhao Kuangyin finally had to discuss with Zhao Pu repeatedly before he could decide.

What insightful ideas do a young man of the age of a prince have? The real words are astonishing as the golden rules, which will be a strange thing!

"Zhao Qing, you can take a look."

Zhao Kuangyin handed the paper to Zhao Pu, who was sitting on Jindun opposite him, and asked him to watch it and comment.

Zhao Pu is considered a royalist and is a supporter of the behind-the-scenes plan to support the second prince as the crown prince. After reading Zhao Dezhao's article, he did not point out the shortcomings, but praised his advantages and said: "Your Highness's article has a well-founded analysis, clear structure, and a kind heart. It is amazing to appease the people of the world. This article is well written!"

Zhao Dezhao was happy when he heard this and bowed, "Thank you for your praise!"

Zhao Pu bowed and returned the greeting: "Your Highness, you are polite."

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the performance of the two, shook his head and laughed, and said to Zhao Dezhao: "Although the emperor has made progress, he should not be proud. He should learn humbly from the great scholars of the Hanlin Academy, accept different opinions, compare them for themselves, and learn to make judgments. Okay, I have something to do with Zhao Xiang, so you can go back first."

"Yes, follow the teachings of the father!" Zhao Dezhao bowed and then prepared to leave the imperial study.

Before leaving, Zhao Kuangyin said again: "There are two books, one is a collection of poems and one is a legendary novel of the Sui and Tang dynasties. They are all written by a talented man from Jiangzuo. They are elegant in writing and stunning in the lyrics. Even the novels and speech books are integrated into historical interpretations, and they are written to make people think. You can take them and take them to take a look."

When Zhao Dezhao heard this, he was curious and went up to take Zhao Kuangyin's gift with both hands, and then left the imperial study room.

Su Chen never expected that the poems and legendary novels he wrote over the past month had spread in the Song Dynasty Palace. Not only were they valued by Zhao Kuangyin, but they were also given to the prince to read.

After Zhao Dezhao left, Zhao Kuangyin withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhao Pu and said, "Is there any feasible point in the article?"

Zhao Pu smiled and said: "The views of the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy are mostly different after hearing them a few times. The Second Prince is good at the palace and is still a young man. He has no contact with life outside the palace and has no contact with real government affairs, so his views are a little shallow and understandable."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and hummed softly: "It's all just a few Confucian empty talk."

Zhao Pu said awkwardly: "Officials can seize the world on their backs, but they cannot govern the world on their backs. The Confucian way seems illusory, but it involves the hearts of scholars in the world. If the country is to be consolidated, unlike the previous northern dynasties that have changed rapidly and the vassal soldiers are respectful, they must vigorously promote civil governance. Only when scholars return to their hearts and manage the world with scholars, can the court be stable."

Zhao Kuangyin pondered silently, thinking about the truth.

Zhao Pu's eyes turned and he spoke and suggested: "The second prince is fourteen years old. He can go out to marry and be a king. He can build his own mansion outside the palace to understand what is happening outside and entrusted with a position. He can also understand the affairs of the people in the city and do not have to live completely in the palace."

After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin showed a strange look, glanced at Zhao Pu, but did not answer directly, thinking about something, as if he was thinking about something.
