Back to the Song Dynasty: The Rise of an Empire

If the Tang Empire won, it would say to its opponents: "You damn well behave yourself in the future, or be careful that I wipe out your entire clan. Pay tribute obediently every year!"

Chapter 371 The Emperor's Shoulder!

"Let him speak! If he has something to say, let him speak. If I don't allow my son to speak, wouldn't I truly become a tyrant!"

Zhao Huan looked sternly at Zhao Chen, keenly aware of the changes Zhao Chen had undergone in recent years.

Perhaps because he was usually busy with state affairs, although he would take time to communicate with Zhao Chen every month, the communication time was not long.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen already had his own judgment on the world between his brows.

However, this judgment has a way out of Zhao Huan's thinking, at least it sounds like there is a way out now.

Zhao Huan had discussed political issues with him more than once. He thought that he would be able to influence Zhao Chen in the past few years, but now it seems that the influence is negligible.

It seems that everyone's personality is predetermined from birth, and it's not impossible to change it later in life, but it's very difficult.

Zhao Chen continued, "Father, I just feel that Seventh Uncle is very pitiful. Although he made a mistake, he did not deserve to die. If Seventh Uncle dies, Grandfather will also be very sad."

Shao Chengzhang was trembling all over.

Your pleading for your seventh uncle has already crossed the emperor's line, and now you've even mentioned the retired emperor...

"Did Grandpa send you?"

Zhao Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "I asked to come here myself."

Zhao Huan took a deep breath and asked Shao Chengzhang to go out first. Shao Chengzhang was somewhat worried.

"You can go out now."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Only Zhao Huan and Zhao Chen remained in the study.

Zhao Huan poured Zhao Chen a cup of tea and said, "Sit down."

Zhao Chen sat down obediently. He was actually a little afraid of his father, because his father had a kind of oppressive feeling that made it hard for him to breathe.

But now, the oppressive feeling emanating from my father has suddenly lessened considerably.

Zhao Huan was initially very angry, but then he thought, why should he be angry with a sixteen-year-old boy? Besides, he was, after all, his son, Zhu Lian's biological son.

Education cannot be just about strictness; sometimes, it is also necessary to reason with people.

"Brother, listen carefully. If you inherit my throne in the future, you will be the emperor. What you need to see is the entire Song Dynasty, not just your brothers. You have the people of the entire Song Dynasty on your shoulders. In everything you do, you must consider the big picture first!"
