"Mother, Sister Yuan is fast asleep, why don't you stay here too?" Aunt Qi wiped Sheng Yuan with a warm wet handkerchief, wiping away the sweat on her back, armpits, and leg sockets. After she was clean, she changed into a red bellyband, covered her belly with tulle, and then spoke to Empress Qin beside her.
Empress Qin nodded, lay down next to Sheng Yuan, leaned on the pillow and fanned her gently, staring at her little face intently.
"Aqi, do you remember that back then Hua En Hua Yan was also so chubby, with a red mouth and chubby calves. He would chatter non-stop when talking, but he was always That makes sense and makes you so angry that you can’t even laugh.”
Hearing this, Aunt Qi turned around and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "It's not as exaggerated as you said? But you are more and more patient! If it had been before, you would have pushed the slave out again, just keep your ears quiet. went!"
Empress Qin smiled: "Maybe it's because I'm old and I always think about the past."
Aunt Qi looked at Queen Qin's head full of dense black hair, and said with a smile: "My predecessor, Concubine Wen, also said that when you and the Crown Princess are together, you will think that you are sisters!"
"Do you take the jokes in the harem seriously?" Empress Qin's smile faded a little, "Crown Princess Lu is a little worried. Although the fault is not hers, it can only be hers. Our Majesty is kind-hearted and must protect her as a queen. But this may not be a good thing for her, you can see...it's not easy!"
Aunt Qi knew it was hard to answer, so she just said: "No matter how noisy I am, I won't bother you here. Besides, with you watching here, there won't be much trouble!"
Empress Qin smiled, said no more, put down her fan, patted Sheng Yuan sideways, feeling the fragrance of the child's milk, and gradually fell asleep.
At this moment, Prince Jiang Huaiqian was supporting Emperor Chengyuan as he headed to Qingyuan Palace.
"Father, the little guy's sentence about the fault of a father and the laziness of a teacher is very good. I think those official scholars may have a clever plan to deal with you and please the courtiers. Haha, such talents are needed Straighten it up!”
Emperor Chengyuan nodded: "Yang Xun has sent people to keep an eye on him. We will soon know which of the maids in the two palaces has sent the message to the outside world!"
When Jiang Huaiqian heard this, he suddenly realized that his father understood everything.
"Take care of the people around you and don't let anyone know about that little girl's words and deeds today. As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. Don't implicate that child."
"Well, I understand."
"I plan to transfer dozens of girls who have excelled in the kindergarten examination to study in the Imperial College... If their father is an official, the official will be promoted to one level; if his father is a noble person and has a title, the title will remain unchanged; if there is no The succession order of nobles is advanced; the common people are treated the same as scholars... Each family will be rewarded with a hundred acres of fertile land and a thousand taels of silver."
"Father!" Jiang Huaiqian felt frightened when he heard such a reward.
Emperor Chengyuan's expression did not change, however, and he continued: "For the colleges participating in the Kyoto kindergarten assessment, the girls of the kindergarten students who came from noble families of civil servants and military generals were included in the list. Select those who do not want to make progress, and those who do not make progress but fall back. There is a separate list. The land, silver, and exempted labor taxes that I have previously rewarded will be shared equally by his family... Well, they will be charged three times, with one share going to the treasury and one share going to the internal funds."
Jiang Huaiqian took a deep breath and said, "Father, if you do this... I'm afraid all the princes in the court will object."
"That's why I want to see who has access to the inside and outside of the palace!"
Emperor Chengyuan smiled: "I have been gentle all my life, and I have never had any opposition from the ministers. It is good to have a long experience. Prince, now that I am old, let them use their strength here until they are exhausted. You You can feel more relaxed in the future. After all, this is my boss, and I cannot let you endure hardship."
Hearing this, Jiang Huaiqian suddenly felt that his throat was a little blocked. He lowered his head, blinked hard, and said in a hoarse voice, "My father has worried me."
Emperor Chengyuan patted the prince's hand supporting his arm: "You are the prince I chose. I consider you, not only for you, but also for the great Chu country.
Prince, this country has not changed after three dynasties! I always think that even if the Great Chu cannot last for thousands of years, the country should be getting better and better. I cannot let the Great Chu defeat it! "
Jiang Huaiqian could not feel the difference between Chu Dachu and Dachu Jiangshan as clearly as Emperor Chengyuan, nor could he understand why Emperor Chengyuan always had unspeakable worries.
Emperor Chengyuan sighed: "Prince, if this decree is issued and the ministers are confused, don't be afraid, but if... the decree is like a stone dropped into the sea, you have to be more careful."
Jiang Huaiqian muttered in a low voice: "It's all caused by the legacy of Da Qi! Otherwise, with Chu Feng's open-mindedness, it would not be difficult to open the women's imperial examination."
Emperor Chengyuan looked at him helplessly: "I know that according to your wishes, the Daqi family cannot be kept. Just keep the people of Daqi, and then use force to control them, and in a few generations, Qi will become Chu... But , think about it, is this really possible?"
Jiang Huaiqian looked up and looked directly at Emperor Chengyuan. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his intention was obvious.
Emperor Chengyuan shook his head and sighed with a smile: "Prince, do you know that some perceptions are still deeply ingrained after thousands of years, so how difficult is it to change them? Only by breaking their perceptions can they change as quickly and completely as possible."
"You mean... let the nobles of the Daqi family take the lead in making changes. When the Daqi survivors see it, their understanding will naturally be shaken, and then they will accept and recognize the Dachu style?"
Emperor Chengyuan smiled again when he heard this: "Da Chu does not need to ask for their approval, as long as they have an understanding of the changes in the upper echelons of Da Qi, and treat the decrees that comply with the two customs of Chu and Qi differently... By then, the people of Qi will Hurry up and abandon Qi Feng! If this is successful, Da Chu will have a template to deal with those foreign races in the future. If they can win without a fight, they will naturally be able to restore the original territory of the Central Plains."
At this moment, Emperor Chengyuan's ambition once again unfolded against the prince.
He looked at the prince with earnest eyes: "I think, even if I can't see the Great Chu driving away the Arong from the north and the foreigners from the south,... Prince, you and your children and grandchildren can see it!"
Jiang Huaiqian looked at the expectation in Emperor Chengyuan's eyes and felt the strong emotion in his eyes.
At this moment, he felt a wave of heat rising in his chest, and his beating heart was beating more and more powerfully, and it was pounding, making his ears hurt.
He originally thought that as long as he defended this beautiful river and mountains, he would be complete, but he didn't expect that his father had already pointed the sword north and south for him!
At this moment, Jiang Huaiqian suddenly no longer looked forward to ascending the throne so eagerly.
This country, this throne, suddenly became hot!
At this moment, he actually had the urge to ask his father to take good care of himself, and it would be best if he could watch over the country for another hundred years!
It's good for him to be a powerful prince.
