Having said this, Huang Qiong looked at the two sons in front of him, who were already as tall as his own shoulders. He patted their shoulders gently and said, "I encountered this headache today, and you will encounter it in the future too. After all, I have left you many younger brothers. In the future, they may behave similarly. If I am gone in the future, the responsibility of disciplining them will fall on you. Therefore, you also have a say in this matter. You celebrate the New Year , I’m about to go on a trip, and I want to ask your opinions.”
Upon hearing Huang Qiong's question, the two brothers looked at each other. After hesitating for a long time, the eldest son of the emperor spoke: "Father, my son thinks that if his uncles or future brothers behave badly, it is because they are poorly educated and lack education. When the emperor was in power, , the requirements for the kings to study are not strict. None of the uncles, except the eighth uncle, have studied much. This is why the uncles are now acting unscrupulously or doing random things. My son thinks that they should be allowed to study more. read."
"If you read more books, you will naturally understand the truth. My son believes that my father should follow the eighth uncle as an example and encourage all uncles to learn more from Uncle Shen. For example, uncles who study more and perform well can be given additional salary. Increase. Or give some fiefdoms or something. Make clear rewards and punishments, strict assessment, diligent teaching, and keep your uncles' heads busy so that they don't have free time to do random things and prey on the people. Your Majesty, my son thinks that your uncles are still good at nature. It’s better, but it’s just a lack of knowledge.”
The emperor's eldest son's answer made Huang Qiong smile bitterly. If those bastards were willing to study, how could they have such a headache? Let a group of people who are uneducated and ignorant be praised to study. Especially for people who are already in their teens, twenties, or even almost thirty years old, studying is not as good as holding down a cow to drink water. Reading, education? It would be easier to let them herd sheep. It was hard for me to put the palace school in order back then. As a result, after one year of the Western Expedition, when we came back, we were in a mess again.
A group of princes, it’s a bit embarrassing to read books. Most of them only stay at the stage of character recognition. I asked all the princes to study at all times after the age of five. Except for a half-hour break at noon, they could not leave school until Youshi. Study classics and history in the morning, and study calligraphy and painting in the afternoon. As long as you don't have a high fever, you must study on time, which has become the only rule among the emperors of Daqi. As for the old man’s sons, they had a completely free-range education and relied entirely on their own interests in studying. It can be said that they have been taught bad things for a long time.
When it's time to study, they can't get into the book. Now that they've decided to let them read, can they get in? Especially this group of bastards, who don't have to rely on studying to make a living. They lie at home doing nothing every year and are supported by generous salaries. Except for Lord Shen, who has a similar personality to himself, the eldest son of the emperor, there is no one. Likes to read. Relying on enlightenment to get them to change their ways is tantamount to wishful thinking. The eldest son's bookishness made Huang Qiong not know whether to cry or laugh.
Contrary to the eldest son's bad idea, the second son pondered for a while and then said in a deep voice: "Father, my son thinks that it is a good opportunity for father to deal with Uncle Yi Wang today. Although the punishment seems a bit harsh, But it is serious illness that requires strong medicine. With this lesson learned from Uncle Yiwang, other people need to weigh and weigh whether they can survive the dark room of Zongzheng Temple. The room is ridiculous, but in the final analysis, the management and punishment are too light."
"In the past dynasties, as long as they did not rebel, the ancestors of Da Qi had always treated the issue of clans with high regard. Especially when the emperor was in power, he was even more arrogant towards these clans. On the contrary, these clans were breeded even more. Ridiculous behavior. But my son thinks that what the eldest brother said is not all wrong. Dear uncles, such absurdity has a lot to do with not studying much. At the beginning, the emperor paid no attention to palace studies, and the concubines and empresses did not Most of them are spoiled people, so if you read this book, it’s okay if you don’t.”
"The lack of discipline from birth and the lack of education the day after tomorrow makes them focus on pleasure. The son believes that the discipline of the prince should emphasize education, strict control, and diligent supervision. They are still young, so they should pay attention to their studies. Although for the prince , reading does not have much effect, but reading can help them understand things. Let them read more, and strictly control them during the study period. Develop their good habits of understanding things. After they leave the palace and go to the house, they must be strictly controlled. You can’t just ignore it before something happens, and then you’ll be severely punished after something happens.”
"Punishment must be combined with control, so the palace officials must be carefully screened. My son thinks it is best to change the custom of having the eunuchs and maids around the mother and concubine follow the prince when he leaves the palace. The so-called diligent supervision means going out. After the palace, they still have to study. The father sends people to conduct strict assessments regularly. Those who fail will be given certain punishments. This is the best way. Also, the father, the son thinks that in fact, these princes of this dynasty , it’s all ridiculous, and a big part of the reason is that they are just too idle.”
"If you have money, you don't have to worry about life. You also have status. If you cause any trouble, you can only leave it to Zongzheng Temple to deal with it. Even Zhongshu Ministry and Sanfa Division have no right to deal with it. And Zongzheng Temple because of their status , they were dealt with more lightly, or even shielded each other, turning a blind eye. Serious crimes were punished lightly, and misdemeanors were either not punished, or treated as if they were invisible. In this way, it further encouraged the arrogance of these princes. Therefore, My son said that it is a good thing that my father has dealt with Uncle Yi Wang like this."
Although the answer of the second prince's son seemed a bit evasive to Huang Qiong, it was still somewhat satisfactory. However, on the surface, Huang Qiong did not show any satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the answers given by his two sons. When the second son of the emperor finished speaking, Huang Qiong just pondered for a moment, then waved his hands to his two sons and said: "What you said makes some sense. I will also think carefully about how to control the clan in the future. You guys. Kneel down first. Don't wander around these days, and spend time with your mother."
After the two sons retreated, Huang Qiong, who had originally picked up his pen to review the papers, felt upset again when he thought of his ridiculous uncles and brothers. Only a few copies were approved, and this book could no longer be approved. After receiving the reply from the personal eunuch, Zhang Qiaoer and Liu Rui had already arrived in the palace. Huang Qiong, who originally wanted to take a look, stopped when he reached the door of Wende Hall. After just instructing the eunuch to take good care of the three of them, he returned to the imperial palace and picked up a book again and started reading again.
Whether it was Zhang Qiaoer or Nangong Zhen, who had been accompanying them, they thought that Huang Qiong would come to see them soon after several people were brought into the palace. As a result, Huang Qiong didn't even show his face for three consecutive days. That is, Zhang Qiaoer was not invited to sleep with him, nor did he come to visit the three of them. Except for the respectful eunuchs and maids, there was not even a single person in the three-day palace who showed up. On the fourth day, Nangong Zhen, who finally couldn't bear it anymore, came to Wende Hall with Zhang Qiaoer, who was exhausted both mentally and physically and looked haggard, even a little haggard.
After receiving the notice, Huang Qiong put down the pen in his hand and hurried to the back hall. When Huang Qiong saw the two girls, especially the haggard Zhang Qiaoer, Huang Qiong felt as if he had been stabbed hard by a knife. He hurriedly held the person in his arms. Faced with Zhang Qiaoer's desperate struggle, Huang Qiong never got angry. It wasn't until the woman's strength was exhausted and she calmed down that Huang Qiong pressed her face against the woman's face and sighed softly: "It's not that I don't want to see Qiao'er, but I really don't know how to face that child. Or how to deal with it.”
"King Yi, I have dealt with it severely. But facing Liu Rui, I don't know what to do. Although her marriage was chosen by herself, it was also my choice. Although I originally said that I was not interested in the marriage of the Duke of Changsha. I'm not satisfied, but in any case, it was Liu Rui who chose him. Moreover, the Changsha County Duke was the one after Ji Feiren. Now that Ji Feiren has passed away, he has no backing support in the palace or the court. Liu Rui has me as the backing support. Now, I don’t have to worry about being bullied after marriage. It means marriage. Who would have thought that it would be like this."
What Huang Qiong said was true. He was indeed quite dissatisfied when Liu Rui chose Changsha County Duke. But when I think about it, that boy doesn't have a strong mother, but his father is seriously ill and will die soon. There are no brothers to support him, but in fact, the entire royal family is basically excluded. When Liu Rui gets married, she doesn't have to serve her parents-in-law. Plus, she has her own backing, so at least she won't be offended. In the end, he agreed to the marriage. But who would have thought that that boy was very wary of Liu Rui.
He even thought that he was sent to monitor and control him. So on the wedding night, in the name of serving her father's illness, she didn't even enter the bridal chamber. When Ji Feiren passed away, he immediately moved to the Mangshan area outside the city. In the name of keeping filial piety, he didn't even return to his mansion. In other words, Liu Rui had been guarding the empty house alone from the time she got married until the day of the accident. Although her hair is styled into a bun like that of a young woman, she is actually still a girl. After learning that King Yong did not know what method he used to find out the fact.
Huang Qiong almost burst out of anger. That bastard really doesn't know what's good or bad. Not to mention Liu Rui's appearance and figure, they are all the same. It's the Liu family. After being matched with him as a sinner, what's the point of a small county official? You know, I had agreed to this marriage in the first place except for Liu Rui's insistence. Part of the reason is that he is worried that the boy will be angry with his uncles or even cousins in the future. With the Liu family and their own Conglong ministers as their backing, they will not be bullied in the future.
In the end, that bastard didn't know what was good or bad. It hurt me so much that I thought there was something wrong with his body during these years of being imprisoned, so I felt a little ashamed at first. He thought that he had harmed that boy. When his father and son defected to Bei Liao, it was their responsibility to abolish people. Back then, he was just an ignorant child who didn't know anything and couldn't make any decisions. After years of confinement, it is normal to have mental and physical problems. Originally, Huang Qiong planned to let Lao Li take care of himself.
But after King Yong’s investigation in the past two days, he found that this was not the case at all. It turns out that bastard, like his father, appears to be respectful on the surface, but is actually a two-faced character. It's really funny. He is a little prince, a loser who even has a clan certificate. How worthy is he, the emperor, of having such a great beauty to monitor him? Is it because he thinks too highly of himself or thinks too low of himself? Every time he thinks about this, Huang Qiong always has the idea to teach this guy a good lesson.
After finding these things, Huang Qiong didn't know how to face that girl. Even if the saying goes well, you have to step on the blisters on your feet, and you have to suffer the people you choose, even if they are there. But after all, he proposed the marriage proposal himself. With this kind of guilt, Huang Qiong always felt that she was a little shameless in front of others.
