I saw Huang Qiong checking information and filing files before criticizing the book. He was directing the eunuch again, repeatedly tossing those tricks. But when he actually started approving the discounts, it was as fast as eating Chinese cabbage, and the emperor was a little confused by him. At first, the emperor thought his son was fooling him. However, after reading Huang Qiong's decision and comments, the emperor had to be convinced.
Although Huang Qiong's comments were not as sophisticated as his own, every decision he made showed that his son was extremely thoughtful and considered things quite comprehensively. Especially when looking at problems with a sophisticated perspective, even I was far inferior to him back then. And on some matters, they not only made careful comments, but also provided some disguised solutions. The thinking is also quite broad.
And in the criticism, it is rare to see harsh and bitter accusations. Even if you find some problems, point them out in slightly more toned-down terms when raising them. After reading Huang Qiong's review, although the emperor did not say any words of praise for his son's performance, Huang Qiong's eyes were full of surprise and relief.
Of course, the emperor also directly pointed out some shortcomings in Huang Qiong's instructions due to lack of experience. But generally speaking, the emperor was quite satisfied with the surprises his son had brought to him in this regard, which simply exceeded his expectations. In addition to certain verbal praise, considerable material rewards were also given.
And this reward was that when Huang Qiong got up the next day, she found that the number of papers that needed to be reviewed by herself had more than doubled. Not only the original three books, but also the excerpts of the Household and Xingbu books began to appear on his table. In front of his desk, some of the archives involved were piled up in more than a dozen large boxes. He also began to meet some officials who needed to meet with you.
In other words, except for the records from the Privy Council, the Palace Department, the Ministry of Personnel and Zongzheng Temple, the rest of the records began to be handed over to Huang Qiong one after another. Moreover, Huang Qiong also has to take charge of Zongxue, inspecting the studies of his younger brothers under the age of eighteen and nephews over six years old every day. One does not dare to miss a single moment in the morning dynasty held every three days, and one must also attend the daily dynasty in the Chui Gong Hall.
Perhaps it was the family dinner on New Year's Eve that greatly stimulated the emperor. The emperor, who originally had extremely strict requirements on religious studies, became even stricter after handing over the management of religious studies to Huang Qiong. The first thing Huang Qiong does every day after the morning is over is to go to the religious school for an inspection. And after dinner in the afternoon, I have to check again. Princes and grandsons need to ask Huang Qiong for instructions if they want to take leave due to illness.
After taking over Zongxue, Huang Qiong did not show any mercy. The first thing he did after taking over was to remove those mothers and concubines outside the royal study who were waiting for their masters to leave school in name, but who were actually acting as spies, ready to provide information to those behind the masters who were afraid that their sons would be wronged, and the eunuchs who tipped off the news. Drive away from the imperial study.
All the wet nurses of princes over six years old were also sent out of the palace. The prince's mother and concubine were not allowed to bring meals to that prince alone, not even snacks. The meals for all the princes and grandsons studying in the imperial study room will be provided by the imperial dining room. Moreover, Huang Qiong also told the imperial dining room that the meals given to these princes should be a combination of meat and vegetables, and not too much fish or meat.
They eat whatever the master eats. All meals delivered must be eaten and no leftovers are allowed. In addition to studying, all princes and grandchildren are also required to run and shoot arrows in the imperial garden according to their age. If the prince or grandson doesn't study hard, the master won't dare to take care of it, or he won't be able to see it. As long as he sees it, the punishment will be even more severe than that of the master.
Punishments ranging from kneeling down to slapping hands are all available. After Huang Qiong did this, the concubines with children in the harem were the first to quit. When my son went to study in the imperial study, it was just a formality. They are all going to be princes in the future, and we don’t expect them to take the No. 1 exam in the future. As an elder brother, why do you discipline me so harshly? Even harsher than the master.
The emperor didn't say anything in the past, so how come it's in the hands of you, the King of England, that the dog has taken advantage of the mouse? The concubines, who were distressed by the crimes their sons had suffered, simply formed a group and went to the Wende Hall to complain when the emperor basically stopped visiting their palace. Indeed, those disciplines that were normal in various academies around the world became disguised abuse in the eyes of these concubines.
A group of concubines cried like pear blossoms and rain in front of the emperor. This person said that his son was weak and couldn't stand running thousands of feet every day. The man said that his son had a weak spleen and stomach since he was a child, and the big pots of rice in the imperial kitchen were not suitable for him to eat. In short, it is just one sentence, accusing the King of England of abusing his son and making excuses for his son not to go to class.
Regarding the accusations made by these concubines, although the emperor said nothing on the spot, his expression was very ugly. After fully listening to the opinions of the mothers and concubines, Huang Qiong also made certain adjustments in line with public opinion on the second day. With a stroke of his pen, he doubled the running distance for all the princes and grandsons. If you can’t finish running, you can eat when you finish running.
The daily snacks between meals have also been cancelled. If it weren't for the sake of these naughty kids, but for the sake of his younger brother, he would be worried that he would be caught if he did too much. He might close the door and let the dogs out to increase the kids' interest in their daily exercise. Huang Qiong's actions made King Yong secretly sigh. It was a blessing that he had not fallen into the hands of this ninth brother.
The emperor remained silent, and the result of his complaint was that his son was disciplined even more severely, and even the punishment was intensified. Even if those concubines felt sorry for their son, they would not dare to speak out. I could only hide in a corner of the imperial garden while my son was being punished to run, silently watching the distressed man shed tears.
As for complaining to Huang Qiong's mother, those concubines had never even thought about it. This is not just Concubine Jing from Tingxue Xuan, her aura is so compelling that people dare not ignore her. Huang Qiong, who was also afraid that the concubines would disturb his mother if they ran to the emperor but failed to hit the wooden clock, had already said that this was how he came here back then, and now he is very strong and well-read.
Although I was a little stricter with my brothers, nephews and nephews, my mother treated me much more relaxedly when I was studying. As soon as these words came out, the concubines who had planned to find Concubine Jing to hit the wooden clock, even if they risked their lives, completely stopped. That Concubine Jing used to educate the King of England in this way, and she must not have cared at all about the King of England educating their son in this way.
There is probably no benefit in filing a complaint yourself, and your son might be punished even more severely. All the concubines did not dare to speak out, as it was likely to be counterproductive. And every time a complaint was made, the princes were punished again, and each time the punishment was heavier than the last. The princes returned to their respective mothers and concubines after school every day, and they never dared to complain again.
However, although Huang Qiong was a bit stricter, his punishment methods were also full of tricks. But almost all the concubines, including the emperor, saw that in less than three months, their son's body and bones had become much stronger. It turned out that the few princes and grandsons who were always holding medicine jars and were suffering from illness basically threw away the medicine jars and became much stronger.
The princes who used to be very picky eaters have completely gotten rid of this problem. There is no longer a prince who always calls in sick and skips school. If you fail the daily exam, you will also be fined. So I read every day, and no one dares to fish in troubled waters. From the King of Song Dynasty onwards, all the princes and grandsons who were still studying in Zongxue were kept submissive by Huang Qiong.
Regarding the sect that turned out to be the biggest headache for me, no matter how many masters I changed, I couldn't succeed. Now that there are such big changes, the most gratified person is naturally the emperor. At this point, the emperor completely gave up on Zongxue. He also said in the palace that if anyone wants to trouble Huang Qiong because of the prince's studies. No matter what the concubine's rank is, she will be demoted as punishment.
Although it is still a bit immature in some aspects, it is not comprehensive enough in dealing with certain issues. However, Huang Qiong showed amazing talents and broad vision, both in government affairs and in charge of the clan, which made the emperor extremely satisfied. The most important thing is that Huang Qiong's unique insights into some government affairs and his unique approach to handling certain difficult affairs gave the emperor an unexpected surprise.
Huang Qiong entered the palace to help with government affairs. Less than half a month later, the emperor felt that the pressure had doubled. According to what he said to Dr. Guo in private, Ah Jiu is a kid with a lot of talent. If he had squeezed it out earlier, he would not be so tired. Now that most of the government affairs are left to him, and I only need to be the final check, I feel a lot more relaxed now.
At the moment, I can focus most of my thoughts on how to take over the trade rights of the Guilin County Prince's Palace. Instead of being overwhelmed by the heavy government affairs like in the past, there was little time to think deeply about other things. Now that I have a lot more time, I can focus more on the things I should consider.
However, although he felt a lot more relaxed, whether Huang Qiong was tired or not was not within the emperor's consideration. In the emperor's view, as the king of a country, especially to be a wise king, diligence is the first priority. And what is diligence? That means going to bed later than a dog and getting up earlier than a chicken. Daily memorials must be reviewed and reviewed on the same day. Only when things are completed on the same day can we call diligence.
Since this great position will be passed on to him in the future, it would be good for his growth to hone his will as early as possible and let him know that diligence is the foundation of a country's king. The most important thing is that the emperor believes that putting more pressure on his son will also help to make him less cranky. This son was too smart and always gave the emperor a feeling of uncertainty.
If the emperor is satisfied, then naturally there are also people who are dissatisfied. The more amazing Huang Qiong's performance was, the more satisfied the emperor was, and the deeper the resentment in the hearts of Concubine De and King Song became. Especially after Concubine De personally approached the emperor to plead for mercy and let the King of Song also learn to govern, but the emperor refused without hesitation and warned them to be more honest, Concubine De and her son were gnashing their teeth with hatred.
What makes Concubine De and her son even more troubled is that the steward next to Lin Hanyan whom they bribed disappeared without a trace a year ago. No matter how many methods the King of Song Dynasty used, he could not find the whereabouts of that person. And after the new year, Concubine Shen, who had always been submissive, suddenly changed a lot. Whether Concubine De was threatening her openly or sending her messages secretly, she ignored her.
In turn, he threatened Concubine De with the evidence that Concubine De colluded with her family and sold her official position. And after losing the only witness, he had another clue in Concubine Shen's hands, leaving Concubine De to stare but could do nothing. In turn, he would be held hostage by Concubine Shen. Concubine De, who was puzzled as to how the evidence fell into Concubine Shen's hands, became completely honest.
