Chapter 15 Wake Up
Late at night, in the East Palace, Zhao Chen sat there with a wry smile on his face.
He already knew the content of the government affairs in the afternoon, and the three decisions made by the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty. One was to cede Hebei and Hedong, the second was to give the Jurchens astronomical gold, silver and wealth, and the third was to prevent the royal army from moving without any action, so as not to anger the Jin people!
Not to mention that the Jurchens' peace talks were originally a plan to "boil a frog in warm water", even if the peace talks were true, they would never agree to such harsh conditions! Hebei and Hedong are so important, almost equivalent to half of the Central Plains! Ten million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, and 10 million pieces of silk, what kind of wealth is this? Not to mention the last item, in order to prevent the anger of the Jin soldiers, Song Qinzong actually made the royal army in various places not to act without any action. This is simply a joke! Even if you want to negotiate peace talks, you must have a certain confidence, and the royal army is the confidence! Without the slightest confidence, the so-called peace talks are just bullied for nothing!
"Absurd! It's really absurd!" Zhao Chen couldn't help but say.
"Your Highness, what happened?" Looking at Zhao Chen's angry face, the little Saner said in surprise.
"There is nothing, you can continue to train!" Zhao Chen said.
These days, Zhao Chen began to train the mistress to be a prince etiquette, various movements, etc.! This mistress looks similar to Zhao Chen, but his movements are obviously from the bottom of the people, so Zhao Chen must train him well in case of mistakes in the future!
Xiaosaner stood up and began to walk forward! He learned about Zhao Chen's actions just now, but for some reason, his actions always give people a sense of despicability! He has been a beggar for many years, and these beggars all look timid in front of others. Now it is really difficult for him to correct it all at once.
"Don't walk like this, you have to hold your head up and your chest up! You should treat yourself as the real prince now, and others are your slaves! Try it again!" Zhao Chen said.
"Yes!" Xiaosan'er closed her eyes first, as if she was brewing the feeling of a "prince". After a moment, he walked away again. But there was a smug smile on his face, as if he had really become the "prince", and others were slaves.
"Don't smile behind your hands! Be more serious! You are like a nouveau riche now." Zhao Chen said.
"Yes!" Xiaosan'er hurriedly put away his smile and continued to move forward.
"The walking pace should not be too big or too small, it should be just right! Look at how I walk!" Zhao Chen said.
While guiding Xiaosan'er, Zhao Chen secretly listened to the movements outside. Although he had driven the eunuchs and palace maids out of the bedroom, if something important happened in the palace, these eunuchs and palace maids would still come over. When they discovered that the bedroom was abnormal, it would be bad.
After training like this in the middle of the night, Zhao Chen and Xiao San'er started to fall asleep.
Zhao Chen slept on the dragon bed, and the mistress was still lying under the bed. For the mistress, begging and cheating in the past were very hard, but he felt that such training was even more difficult. The many etiquettes and cumbersome movements made him dizzy. However, in order to become the prince's substitute in the future and enjoy the feeling of being above the top, it is acceptable to work harder.
It seems that Zhao Chen's words that day really deceived him.
If he was an adult, Zhao Chen had an extraordinary difficulty in cheating. Unfortunately, this mistress was just a ten-year-old child. Even though he had been "stumbling" in society for many years, his intelligence had never grown. Moreover, he was from a low-class person. He had no idea about the palace. It was precisely because of these conditions that he was deceived by Zhao Chen's words. Now he was lying under the bed, but his mind was still addicted to fantasy.
*******
The imperial court of the Song Dynasty is now addicted to fantasy. They think that after a peace talks with the Jin soldiers, they will soon retreat in the future.
However, in fact, the battle reports ahead were still coming, and all kinds of battle reports showed that the Jurchens were getting closer and closer to Kaifeng City! However, in the Kaifeng palace, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty turned a blind eye!
Zhao Chen looked at these battle reports every day, and he became more and more anxious!
These days he repeatedly asked to see Song Qinzong, but Song Qinzong was busy preparing gold and silver for the Jurchens, so he couldn't find time to see his son! The Jurchens asked for too much gold and silver. Song Qinzong had already urgently blocked the national treasury and wanted to send out all the gold and silver and wealth left in the national treasury! However, the national treasury was empty and far from meeting the needs of the Jin soldiers. So Song Qinzong was "selfless" and took out countless treasures from the palace and auctioned them to merchants in Bianliang City! But even so, the amount of gold and silver was still too different!
Song Qinzong can only count on Li Bangyan and the Jurchens to "bargain" and eventually reduce the amount of gold, silver and wealth!
Zhao Chen was really helpless about what his father did!
On October 25, it started snowing in Kaifeng City.
The snow was still very small in the morning, but it gradually became heavier at noon, and by the afternoon it was already heavy snow! The entire palace was covered in silver, extremely charming, and the scenery was extremely beautiful! Unfortunately, Zhao Chen did not feel at all about enjoying the scenery!
For some reason, today he felt particularly depressed. Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, he actually felt like "black clouds pressing down on the top"!
"Are the Jin soldiers coming soon?" Zhao Chen said secretly.
When he returned to the bedroom late at night, Zhao Chen began to train Xiao San'er in various etiquette and movements again.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Chen took off his clothes.
"Is Your Highness the Crown Prince going to bed?" said the little Saner.
"No!" Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "You can try putting on my clothes!"
"Ah!" Xiaosan'er's face showed a surprise expression, and he took the clothes over.
The costumes of the prince in ancient times were extremely gorgeous. The mistress had long been envious of the costumes of the prince. Today he was finally able to put them on and try them! He impatiently took off his clothes and put them on the costumes of the prince. His face was full of smiles! But his smile was like a beggar who suddenly picked up a piece of gold, and he looked so naughty no matter how he looked!
"Put my hat on!" Zhao Chen said again.
He handed the crown prince crown to Xiaosan'er, and Xiaosan'er hurriedly put it on! After a moment, Zhao Chen took off his shoes again, and Xiaosan'er put them on!
At this moment, the mistress had already changed into the full set of prince's clothes. He was dancing and extremely excited! This was the first time he had worn such gorgeous clothes since he was a child! For a ten-year-old child, this was really something to be happy about!
"Turn around and let me take a good look!" Zhao Chen said.
At that moment, the little San'er hurriedly turned around and Zhao Chen watched carefully.
"Don't laugh, don't move! The expression on your face is more serious. Didn't I ask you to learn from my expression... Yes, that's it!" Seeing the little San'er dancing, Zhao Chen couldn't help but scold.
The little San'er hurriedly looked serious behind his hands.
"It's so similar, it's just a person!" Zhao Chen said in his heart.
"You take a few steps to show me!" Zhao Chen said again.
Unfortunately, as soon as Xiao San'er walked, he immediately revealed his feelings! Although he had received Zhao Chen's training for many days, the habits he developed from childhood to adulthood are not so easy to change! At this moment, he walked like a thief. Although his body was upright, his eyes were aiming around!
"Don't look around!" Zhao Chen frowned.
"Your Highness, does the villain learn like this?" Xiaosan'er said with a smile on his face.
"It's almost done... I just remember, don't smile and don't look at your eyes casually, otherwise others will know that you are not the prince. At that time, not only can you not act arrogantly, but you will also be taken down and beheaded immediately!" Zhao Chen said coldly.
"The villain remembers it!" Xiaosan'er was shocked and said hurriedly.
Zhao Chen nodded and said, "Very good!"
"Your Highness, when will I appear as your substitute?" said the little Saner.
"Low... I may leave the palace once in a month or two. You can be the prince for me and let you enjoy wealth! It's late at night, go to bed!" Zhao Chen was silent for a while and said.
The two of them started to fall asleep. Zhao Chen was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep. He was thinking in his heart. He felt that he wanted the mistress to die for him. He couldn't bear it. He was thinking about whether he could leave the palace. He wanted to do something after leaving the palace! He came to this era for no reason. He still couldn't adapt to his identity. He suddenly realized that if he left the palace, he seemed to have some difficulties in life!
"Hey! Take one step at a time!" Zhao Chen said secretly.
By the fifth hour, it was almost dawn. Zhao Chen heard a vague sound in his sleep. He immediately turned over and sat up!
The rumbling sound echoed throughout Kaifeng City. Zhao Chen came to the window in surprise and looked out, but unfortunately he still saw heavy snow.
Chapter completed!
