After hearing Fu Yuanshan's words, Huang Qiong also remembered that Prince Yong'an was indeed thirteen years old this year. According to the ancestral system of this dynasty, the prince is promoted to a prince at the age of thirteen and leaves the palace to live in the Yuci Prince Mansion. At the same time, he is equipped with subordinate officials to teach in his own palace. From now on, when I see my mother and concubine, I can only visit the province twice on the first and fifteenth day of every month. During the rest of the time, no one is allowed to live in the palace again without an edict.
If it were another prince, Huang Qiong would not care. When you reach the age, you should leave the palace, and when you should be promoted to a prince, you should be promoted to a prince. Even if he no longer looks down upon his brothers, and no longer worries about those idiots who can't do anything, they will go out and make a mess that is difficult to clean up, just like the older ones. But Huang Qiong also knows that this is an ancestral system, at least now he can't change it.
Fortunately, the old man has abolished the feudal system and can just keep these people in the capital under strict supervision. ? As long as one's own eyes are low, it is better to leave it to other places to harm the people. But others are other people, but Huang Qiong is not generally taboo with this Prince Yong'an, who is obviously his younger brother, but is actually his nephew. This is not because of his mother, or because he is not his brother.
It was his real biological father and his biggest enemy so far in his life, the King of Shu. When Prince Yong'an comes out of the palace, some people are going to cause trouble. Because of that damn Wen Taiyi, I still don’t know how many secretly hidden forces King Shu still has in the capital, and how many of his people there are in the court. Once the Yong'an County Prince leaves the palace, what will be the ambition of some people?
But in order to cover up this Tianjia scandal, Huang Qiong is not good at doing some things to save face. It's no big deal to make a prince. But the King of Shu, who was originally in the Western Region and whose strength has grown to a point far beyond what it used to be, has not made any moves, which has already made Huang Qiong feel taboo. If at this time, Prince Yong'an was leaving the palace, Huang Qiong would be somewhat worried.
He just looked at Fu Yuanshan and the others in front of him, and then looked at the piles of memorials on the imperial case. After Huang Qiong pondered for a moment, he waved his hand and motioned for them all to sit down and said: "Prince Yong'an's affairs are family matters, and state affairs are the most important thing at the moment. Put other matters aside. Take a look at this room, How can I have that thought now? Prince Yong'an is still young, so we will talk about it after a while."
When several courtiers heard Huang Qiong's words, his tone was somewhat strange, and they couldn't help but feel a little doubt in their hearts. It's just doubts, but these are all exquisite people. This matter involves the Tian family, and there is someone who will get to the bottom of it. At most, I thought that the leader, who had always looked down upon the clan, would be troubled by the possibility of having another demon king.
They are all prime ministers, and they are not ignorant of the virtues of clans in the world. I don’t know how the concubines of the past generations were educated. Even when he is in the palace, no matter how honest the prince is, he will feel like a different person when he leaves the palace. He can do any damn thing. Ever since he became the crown prince, this lord has always strictly disciplined the princes and the clan.
After taking the throne, the discipline of those princes became more and more severe. The reason why they mentioned Prince Yong'an, who was about to leave the palace, and the other three princes who were all about the same age, was with a look of reluctance. I'm afraid it's also because of this that the brother who is about to leave the palace has a headache. After all, with the lessons learned from the past and outside, it is estimated that this leader, who has always been decisive in killing, has no confidence in his heart.
Only God knows what these princes who are completely unconstrained will become like after leaving the palace. However, looking at what the princes who have left the palace and are still alive have done, we can roughly guess the virtues of those people. Maybe there will be another group of disasters in the capital of the Qi Dynasty. Especially the Zongzheng Temple Chief Minister who is in charge of the clan now is such an undistinguished person as King Yong.
Although Yongwang's current performance can be described as stunning. But among the important ministers present, no one believed that King Yong would truly change his mind. They are more willing to believe that King Yong is pretending to be under the coercion of the Lord in front of him. Let King Yong take charge of the clan, and I don't know what the master thinks. Aren't you afraid that those clans will be led astray?
However, even though they were worried, the princes completely let themselves go after leaving the palace. But this matter was a private matter of the Tian family after all, and it was hard for them to say anything, let alone help. It can only give the master in front of him a headache. Fu Yuanshan, who had only served as Jingzhao Yin, knew that Jingzhao Mansion would have a lot of headaches from now on. This time, four princes and princes must be released from the palace at once, which would give everyone a headache.
It was just that the ensuing government affairs discussions made several people not in the mood to think about the affairs of the princes. The counterinsurgency in Jiangnan, which has now entered the final moment, is the top priority of the government today. The aftermath of the two main battlefields of Jiangnan West Road and Huguang South Road has already entered the Guangnan East and West Second Road armies, the guarantee of food, grass and baggage, and the payment of salaries to the frontline soldiers. Collection of money and food from various roads.
There are also river engineering, water transportation, trade, etc., a series of matters, and where will the pension money and food for the soldiers who died on the front line come from. In particular, the full implementation of the concept of "divide a small family into an acre" has begun, and the many obstacles encountered need to be resolved. Those who start enjoying glory and wealth from the time they fall off the grass are no better. How much more important is the prince who will never starve to death even if he does nothing for the rest of his life?
Now that the national treasury is empty, where can we find income to fill it? This is the most troublesome thing for several people in Wende Hall at this time. This discussion lasted a whole morning. After looking at the sky, Huang Qiong left a few important ministers in Wende Palace and had lunch before letting them go. Considering that there were a few more important ministers, Huang Qiong also ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare a few more dishes.
As early as when the Lord was still the prince supervising the country, whenever it was late to discuss government affairs, a few people who were dining together would be left behind. Although he despised the food in the imperial dining room, it was the emperor's wish after all, so he did not refuse it. It wasn't until after lunch that several people left one after another. After the others left, Fu Yuanshan was left alone by Huang Qiong to discuss some matters.
However, after Fu Yuanshan left, the eunuch who had been guarding the Wende Hall trotted in to report that Concubine Shen had been waiting outside the hall since lunch. Even at this time, I am still waiting outside and thinking about meeting you. Hearing that this woman actually found her way here, Huang Qiong remembered this woman's extraordinary resilience and never gave up even if she didn't achieve her goal.
But after thinking about it, I realized what this woman did to keep Prince Yong'an after learning that she knew the inside story. Huang Qiong was somewhat clear about it. Huang Qiong also knew that that woman would never give up until she saw him. Instruct the eunuch to let Concubine Shen go back first. Just tell her what she thinks, and she already knows it. After I finish my government affairs, I will naturally go to her place.
I have to say that Concubine Shen is a very discerning woman. He knew more clearly about Huang Qiong's submissive temperament. He knew that if he pushed this master too hard, it would be counterproductive. Therefore, after hearing Huang Qiong's oral instructions from the eunuch, it was easy. The eunuch who went out to deliver the order came back soon and informed that Concubine Shen had returned to the palace.
After Concubine Shen left, Huang Qiong didn't think too much and focused all his energy on government affairs. It wasn't until after dinner that I took a look at the sky and then turned around and went to Concubine Shen's place. When they arrived at Concubine Shen's palace, they found that Concubine Shen didn't do anything wrong this time. He, his mother, his aunt, and Prince Yong'an were waiting for him honestly. After seeing Huang Qiong come in, he greeted Huang Qiong honestly according to the rules.
Maybe she really wanted to ask Huang Qiong for something, but this time Concubine Shen rarely obeyed the rules, which surprised Huang Qiong. After giving a weak hand, he motioned for several people to get up. Huang Qiong took a look and saw that Prince Yong'an had not seen him for more than half a year. Now he had grown a lot taller and looked heavier. He called him in front of him and said in a calm tone: "What books have you read recently?"
Although I haven't seen him for more than half a year, I rarely get close to my younger brothers. On the contrary, the prince of Yong'an County is not afraid of stage fright because his imperial brother is extremely strict and much stricter than his father to his younger brothers. After hearing Huang Qiong's question, he said in a calm tone: "Returning to Brother Huang, I have recently been reading "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "The Great Learning" with my master in palace studies."
Huang Qiong became somewhat interested when he heard that Prince Yong'an had begun reading "The Doctrine of the Mean". After casually checking some of the contents in his book, I found that the Yong'an County Prince, who is only thirteen years old, can be regarded as fluent in answering questions. Although I don’t understand the meaning of the article a little bit. But you can't blame him too much. After all, he is only thirteen years old, and it is already very good to understand these things.
Not everyone is so lucky to meet such a knowledgeable and talented mother who has her own unique insights into Confucian classics. When I started reading "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "The Great Learning" at the age of seven, I didn't understand the meaning of the books as deeply as he did. Although he cannot compare with his former self, the problem is that he has been born in two different lives, and the masters he met have different abilities.
At about the same age as him, his brothers who have only read "Long Wen Whip Shadow" until now, this kind of enlightenment book, have made a lot of progress. You must know that when I was in charge of the palace school, my plan for the palace school was that the princes would not start reading the four books "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Great Learning", "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" until they were fifteen years old, and they must Let’s start with The Analects of Confucius.
Of course, the progress of his brothers' studies also made Huang Qiong extremely disappointed. Most people have had a blast reading this book. Just like his twelfth brother, King Chu, who is already twenty-three years old this year and has been married for several years. If you ask him about the contents of "Long Wen Whip Shadow" and "Elementary School Collection", which are the contents of the enlightenment books for today's scholars, I'm afraid they will still look at a loss.
It's not that these princes are really stupid, it's that they don't bother to learn at all. As soon as these princes fall off the grass, it can be said that they enjoy the best treatment in the world. As long as you don't risk your life to seek death, you will be prosperous and wealthy for the rest of your life. In their view, reading is not only a painful thing, but also a meaningless thing. In their opinion, they don’t need to take the Jinshi examination, so what’s the use of studying?
If you have that energy, you might as well think about how to make some extra money so that you can live more comfortably. Not to mention that the prince didn't care, the old man actually didn't care too much about the education of his sons. He had stricter requirements on the prince's studies, but he just wanted his sons to be busy and not do ridiculous things all day long, and think about other things.
Although the masters are carefully selected, their supervision is negligible. In that palace school, the professors and masters were half-hearted, and the students were even more lawless. In class, the teacher is almost always teaching, and the students below can do whatever they want. I'm so happy, it's normal for students not to come for three to five days. Anyway, no teacher can really manage these most difficult students in the world.
