After many years of hesitation, and then thinking of her frail son who was always called bean sprouts by Daya in distress, Cai finally nodded in agreement after learning that Situ Huanshuang nodded. Especially after learning that Daya, who always protected her son, also worshiped Situ Huanshuang as her master to learn martial arts, Cai's last hesitation disappeared. With that girl's protection, I believe that my son will no longer have to feel aggrieved. Watching other brothers playing, he can only hide in the house and watch with envy.
After seeing the girls and settling the matter, Huang Qiong just smiled. In fact, he also knew that Situ Huanshuang and Cai's concerns were not wrong. Situ Huanshuang's status in the harem is aloof. If someone really stirs up trouble in this matter, there will still be some waves in the palace. Although Ms. Cai was pregnant at almost the same time as Ms. Li, Cai's son was actually her third son because she was born one month prematurely. The son Dong Qianhong gave birth to was the fifth son of the emperor. Xiao Wu is ranked with his daughter.
However, although it would cause some trouble, Huang Qiong didn't care much about it. After all, in his mind, the child's health is more important. He is now the only emperor since the founding of Da Qi whose children have all survived. As an old father, Huang Qiong naturally does not want his child to die young. But among the disciples, this third son was the one that worried him the most. But he also asked Lao Li, and they all said it was caused by congenital deficiencies. Now, no matter how much you try to make up for it the day after tomorrow, it will be of no use.
But Lao Li also reminded him that among the concubines in the palace, there were quite a few martial arts masters. Maybe it would be better to let this child practice martial arts and use his internal martial arts skills to adjust. But Mr. Cai always disagreed, and Situ Huanshuang and Duan Jin were all vague. Huang Qiong himself really didn't have a lot of free time to teach his third son martial arts. Therefore, the matter has been delayed. Now that Mr. Cai finally nodded, and Shuang'er also agreed, Huang Qiong's heart that had been hanging around all these years finally settled.
My heart dropped to the ground, I was holding a vivid fragrance in my arms, and there were such a group of beautiful flowers in the palace, so naturally my thoughts easily went astray. At this time, Huang Qiong, who could no longer control her wild thoughts, pushed the Wu sisters down and kissed Situ Huanshuang's small mouth in her arms. The two of them hadn't been together for some time, and Situ Huanshuang also felt a sense of affection in his heart. Although it was the first time to face so many sisters, I was still a little shy. But she couldn't bear Huang Qiong's disappointment, so she finally chose to obey.
Perhaps because the matter was resolved today, Huang Qiong's anger was extremely strong. Looking at the exhausted girls, except for Duan Miao, they were unable to respond and almost none of the girls left. Huang Qiong comforted Situ Huanshuang, then got up and dressed, taking Duan Miao, the only one who still had strength, back to the small hall behind Wende Hall. Before Duan Miao could be brought here by Huang Qiong for no apparent reason, she opened her mouth to say something, but Huang Qiong blocked her mouth again. When Duan Yaner came over with Tang, Liu, and Dairu.
Duan Miao, however, didn't even have the strength to speak. This time, no one knew what happened to the master Jin'er. It was only when the girls couldn't support it anymore that Huang Qiong was left with Da Ru at Duan Yan'er's begging. Looking at the sleeping ladies, he looked at the young palace maid who lowered her head and cleaned herself up. Huang Qiong smiled with satisfaction. But until this time, Huang Qiong got up, put on his clothes, and walked back to Wende Hall leisurely when he remembered his two sons who were still reviewing the papers on his behalf in the front hall.
Returning to Wende Hall, Huang Qiong stopped his two sons from saluting. Picking up their brochures, he opened them one by one and looked at the notes written by his two sons. Although there was no change in his expression, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. At this glance, the difference between the two sons can be seen. On the three-part account of Huxingli that was given to the boss, there was a statement with his opinions on how to deal with it, and it could be said that the writing was quite satisfactory. It's almost straight-forward. There's nothing wrong with it, and there's nothing outstanding about it.
When it comes to explaining in detail why you have to deal with it this way, it can be said that you quote the classics and explain everything in detail. In particular, the excerpts from the Ministry of Rites and the accompanying articles are richly written, and can be used as examples if taught to students. But this is to deal with government affairs and to respond to requests for instructions from below, not to study for the Jinshi examination. No wonder the bachelor who taught the second son to study always said that the eldest son of the emperor had excellent writing skills and was very serious in reading when he asked his two sons about their study progress every ten days.
Huang Qiong couldn't help but fell silent as she looked at the eloquent and eloquent notes written on the Ministry of Etiquette's request for instructions on a certain matter. Although I like reading, I am not so dogmatic. It seems that for every word in a batch, the source must be found in the book. If I had to review every piece of writing like this, wouldn't I be very tired and exhausted? Logically speaking, I am not the kind of person who is obsessed with reading. As for the child's biological mother, He Yao, even if she is proficient in writing, how can she teach such a bookworm?
He shook his head helplessly and put down the eldest son's book in his hand. Picking up the second son's book again, Huang Qiong's eyes lit up after opening it. Although the excerpts reviewed by this person are still immature, some things are not very fluent, and some things are only half understood. But there are some things that have their own original thinking. In many comments, he also put forward his own unique insights. There were a few of them that even Huang Qiong had to applaud and praise, secretly praising that this boy indeed had a unique vision.
Putting down the papers in his hands, Huang Qiong picked out the ones that were really not good, and then threw the papers that the other two had approved back to them, asking them to just approve them according to their original ideas. As for the selected excerpts, Huang Qiong called Erzi to his side, analyzed them one by one, and then asked them for their opinions on how to deal with them. Compared with Huang Qiong, who could understand almost everything, he even dared to argue with Huang Qiong for a few words on some different opinions. The eldest son of the emperor not only did not dare to argue, but also quoted the words from the book.
Looking at the emperor's eldest son who was always looking for explanations in books, Huang Qiong was still somewhat disappointed. However, Huang Qiong, who always believed that people should not be beaten to death with a stick and always gave their children a chance to change, touched the emperor's eldest son's head and said softly: "Son, remember your father's words and believe everything in the letter." It’s better to have no books. Reading can broaden people’s horizons, make them understand the truth, and let them know what is right and wrong. But it doesn’t mean that you should just copy it mechanically. You have to go to the book to find the source or even the explanation for everything you do.”
"The reason is very simple. The world is constantly developing, and there are new things that are not in the books. They are not written in the books, so how can you find the source in the books? Just like cotton, how to grow, harvest, process, and even spin it into cloth. Which agricultural book in the past wrote? Among the river management strategies proposed by the emperor, many new rivers were dug to increase the lake area in the original flood discharge areas, and even flood discharge areas were set up in places with frequent breaches. These river management strategies Among the strategies, which one has been mentioned before? New things are always appearing."
"There is no record in the book, so we, the latecomers, need to explore it from scratch. Books are also written by people, and as long as people's understanding of all things in the world has its own limitations. The principles in the book are only It can serve as a direction to guide us in doing things and a standard of action, but it cannot become a shackles that shackles our thoughts. If you have to find the source of everything you have never seen before from books, it will become a rote book. . This is why our predecessors proposed that it is better to have no books than to believe in books.”
After that, Huang Qiong looked at his eldest son who was thinking hard after listening to his words. Huang Qiong put down the book in his hand and said to his two sons: "If you are an ordinary person, this kind of dogmatic way of reading is nothing more." The one who will harm the most is your own family. But you can't do that. You are my sons and princes. In the future, you will be responsible for bringing benefits to the people of the world. Originally, I was thinking that you are all thirteen years old, and it is time for you to choose yourself. I like it. But now it seems that you need to experience the suffering of the people more."
"You two don't need to go to the academy or the military camp. I will divide this country into two, and each of you will take a few guards to patrol one side incognito. I will give you two years to travel around this world. Along the way. The local customs, the wealth and poverty of the people, and the actions of the government must be reported to me. But you are not allowed to have contact with any government along the way, and you are not allowed to reveal your identity. This tour of yours is a student tour. This time When traveling, you are only allowed to wear your ears but not your mouth, and you are not allowed to interfere with places.”
"Return to Beijing every six months to report on the summary of your travels, and come up with the causes of the problems found in the local area, as well as the solutions you think are appropriate. Remember, you are not allowed to follow your own preferences along the way. Especially the boss, you You are not allowed to visit any great scholars, let alone any academies. You must truly sink to the bottom and experience the suffering and bitterness of the people at the lowest level. I know that the two of you have been practicing martial arts with Sister Jin since you were young. I’m not an expert, but as long as I don’t show off too much, I can protect myself without any problem.”
After listening to Huang Qiong's request and looking at their father's extremely serious expression when he said these words, the two brothers nodded involuntarily. After waving his two sons to get down, Huang Qiong pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly. Although he didn't say anything on the surface before, in his heart he was already somewhat unbearably disappointed with this eldest son. How could such a bookish person hand over this country of thousands of miles and billions of people to him? This trip can be regarded as the last chance I give him.
If it's still like this after you come back, don't blame yourself for being partial to your father over his eldest son. It's just that as the saying goes, you see old age at the age of three. This child is already thirteen years old now. Can he still change his problem of trusting the book? I'm afraid it's really difficult. It is indeed too early to travel alone at the age of thirteen. But who makes them his sons? It is the Qi Dynasty that will inherit the safety of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers and the well-being of billions of people in the future. The eldest son and the second son of the emperor have to take responsibility from the moment the grass falls?
I sent them on patrol to experience the sufferings of the people. This was just to accelerate their growth and maturity. It was also to select the best among the two. It should not be considered as counterproductive. Of course, Huang Qiong also knew that it was still too early to determine which of the two sons would take over his position in the future. Including the appointment of a crown prince, it is still quite premature. I am only in my twenties, not yet thirty, and it's not like the old man did that in a hurry, in order to consolidate the foundation of the country and make the world feel at ease, he hurriedly appointed the crown prince.
Just when Huang Qiong thought of the deposed prince, a report came from outside the palace that King Yong was anxious to see Huang Qiong.
I looked at the sky and saw that it was already dark. When I heard this, I usually ran to my outer room and started enjoying the nightlife. Even King Yong, who had to go through a lot of trouble to summon him, actually rarely wanted to see him. Huang Qiong, who was somewhat stunned because he didn't know what caused the seventh brother's madness, happily announced the call.
