Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

The cabinet also acted quickly. After receiving the instructions from the sage to add the "Book of Rhymes" and to increase literacy and reading in the barracks, it immediately revised the content of the six-year study according to the sage's request, and the soldiers used everyone who could recite it. The army decrees began to recognize characters.On the same day, he got the word "Zhun" from the saint.The new education direction written by the cabinet and the new assessment standards for grassroots county and prefectural officials were then sent to the grassroots prefectures, prefectures, and counties to learn.

The sage and the prince made up their minds to punish the silverfish in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Four Divisions and Eight Bureaus.As soon as the news of the purge spread, everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs felt chilly in autumn.All the ledgers were sent to the East Palace yesterday.The prince invited the Minister of the Household Department, and arranged for some old masters from the Household Department to go to the East Palace to check the accounts, and the news spread along with the sage's statement.

The thrilling day of this day was a year that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Four Divisions and Eight Bureaus would tremble with fear when it was mentioned for many years to come.

Not to mention punishing corrupt house thieves.The sage read the papers of the day and the contents of the crown prince's written instructions, and then nodded and approved them one by one. Wei Jiu took them aside and stamped the sage's small seal.

"Cheng Xian, Father has something to do, you should answer it after you think it over."

When the sage said this, the prince immediately nodded solemnly, and sat up straight in his clothes to show that he understood.

"After the autumn harvest this year, I will use troops to the northwest. Who do you think is suitable for commanding the army?"

The crown prince frowned and thought for a while, "Father, if the generals in the current court are allowed to be chosen by the ministers, Duke Jia of Rongguo, Gongniu Gong of Shanguo, Huhou Marquis of Anguo, and Gonghou Marquis of Weiguo, these few members of the Ministry of War All of them can lead the army. But there is another word from the son-in-law, these few are not as good as the North Marquis of Qianzhen, and they know more about the military affairs of the Northwest. The Beihou is likely to be overwhelmed and wants to be a pawn for the father."

The sage agrees with the prince's analysis.Very good, don't blame the former Zhenbei Marquis because of Concubine Hui's dirty tricks.Nor will personal grievances be placed before the court's major affairs.This is the heart and demeanor that a prince should have, and he didn't let his teachings of more than ten years go down the drain.

"Chengxian, after Jia Daishan, who do you think is suitable to be the governor of the Beijing camp, and who is more suitable to lead the Beijing camp?"

"Father, this, son..." The prince didn't know how to answer the question suddenly thrown by the saint.

He saw that the saint was good and stared at him, waiting for his answer, he was very embarrassed.After holding back for a while, he slowly said: "Father, Rong Guogong is about the same age as your father. Normally, you have to be 70 years old to become an official. There are still more than 20 years. At that time, Enhou was also in his 40s. It should be possible to take over the Beijing camp."

"What if Jia Daishan suddenly becomes seriously ill?"

"Father?" The prince was surprised.

"Mr. Rong Guo is loyal. He saved me with a knife in the past. The knife was poisoned. I'm afraid that the sky will not be a holiday."

"Father, why don't you give me some antidote?"

"Then he may think that I want him to die, maybe he will take poison immediately."

The prince choked and opened his mouth, unable to speak.

"Chengxian, think again, who is suitable to take over the capital?" The saint saw that the prince was a little frightened, and asked again in a gentle voice.

The sage's words reminded the prince of the Gongniu's family in Shanguo, and that family had no other problems except for their family's lust.After Rong Guogong, it was indeed the Niu family who took charge of the Beijing camp.

So, the prince replied, "Father, what do you think of the dukes of the country? The titles of these dukes are all in this generation. The next generation will be downgraded to the rank of Xijue. Whether it is a marquis or an uncle is open to discussion. If you let Duke Shan Guo takes over, and it should be stable for ten years, or even more than ten years."

"Okay. Chengxian, you know the severity of things when you think about things. Even if your father's northwest party cannot come back, you can rest assured of your ancestor's foundation."

The prince was shocked.

"Father, you? Why do you think so? Let my son lead the army for you."

The sage shook his head, "Chengxian, before doing something, you must first think of the best and most suitable way to deal with the worst outcome in case of failure. I can go into battle with light clothes. It’s not that my father is worried about you leading the army, but that the veterans in the army and the accompanying veterans will do things honestly only under my eyes. After I clear the northwest, if the old God is merciful, our father and son can have ten years to give you a strong presence in the army and court. Such a smooth transition will not make you feel uneasy and terrified like when your father succeeded to the throne. You don’t know what to do all day long Only then can the empress dowager approve."

The sage who loves the calf deeply moved the prince, the prince's eyes were red, "Father..."

"Hurry up and stop acting like a child. If the emperor's grandson sees it, he will laugh at you."

The sage teased the prince, and he was satisfied only when he successfully restored the prince to his usual dignified appearance.

Wei Jiu put the copy of the sage's small seal on the imperial case.

"Take it to log in, and send it down."

"Yes."

Wei Jiu called the Hanlin scholars who were in charge of registering the papers to come in, and they all left together holding the papers.

After the sage finished talking about the big event, he changed into a relaxed and comfortable smile.While enjoying a sip of the tea made by the prince, he said with a smile: "The queen mother has good eyesight, and I have left all the outstanding figures in this year's show. Father remembers that you once said Rong Guogong As for the marriage of my son, the daughter of the Wang family is very good. A few days ago, Concubine Zhen wanted me to marry the daughter of the Wang family to the second son of Duke Rong."

The prince's heart skipped a beat.He raised his face and said to the sage: "I heard that this girl has discussed marriage with Enhou. She has discussed marriage with her elder brother, and then with her younger brother. It seems that the Wang family must marry into the Rongguo Mansion. The Wang family What exactly do you want to plot against the Rongguo Mansion? Military power? Or connections in the army?"

The saint didn't know that the daughter of the Wang family had ever discussed marriage with Jia.

"Did you hear what Enhou said?"

"Yes. Enhou also said that Mrs. Rong Guogong has seen many people and thinks that the royal parents and daughters are quite suitable for her. If it weren't for the marriage given by the father... for this reason, she often picks on the beloved daughter of the Taifu. Enhou often Because of this, I was distressed, and even complained to my ministers. If this is married to the second son of Rong Guogong, the inner house of Rong Guo Mansion..."

The prince smiled unkindly.

The sage saw the prince's cheap and wicked smile, and tapped the prince's forehead with his knuckles.The prince pretended to be hurt by the beating, and complained while clutching his forehead, "Father, you hurt my son."

"Who made you laugh unkindly. Lao Jia has saved me and is loyal to the court. Enhou is your companion. To be a man, you must always remember your kindness and be generous."

"Yes, royal father. The ministers will lead the training." The prince stood up and listened with his hands tied.

The sage saw that the prince was sincere, so he stopped talking about him.

"Sit down. Now that the eldest daughter of the Wang family wants to marry into the Rongguo Mansion, it is impossible. The queen mother thinks that she looks good and her family background is not bad. She is one of the nobles who were sealed yesterday."

In the prince's heart, he suddenly felt that something was churning, and he became uncomfortable.

"Father, the purpose of the Wang family's high promotion has been achieved this time. Compared with the Rongguo Mansion, the father can give the Wang family more."

"What will you give her to the royal family?"

"Power. What does the Rongguo Mansion have, except for the Jingying run by the Duke of Rongguo, it is the people who have accumulated in the army for generations. If this royal family has an outstanding son, they can learn from the Marquis of Zhenbei in the future."

"Chengxian, what are you afraid of?"

The prince said faintly: "Father, my son is afraid that the head of the Wang family can use a daughter to discuss marriage with two brothers. I am afraid that that person will be scheming, and that he will achieve his goal regardless of the world. The Wang family is so determined. I'm afraid that after 20 years, there will be another concubine Hui against my son. Father."

The prince felt that these words were beyond his own wishes.This is not what he wanted to express.In his heart, suddenly there was an emotion that he couldn't control...

"Father, I don't want to say that."

The prince tried his best to restrain his emotions.

But in the eyes of the sage, such an expression and such words are his son's implicit expression of the grievances he has suffered in the past five years; and the fear left in his heart by the matter of Concubine Hui.

The sage's heart ached, the son he held in his hands was actually being bullied and framed by Concubine Hui right under his nose.This made him unable to find any words to comfort his beloved son for a while.He made a decision in an instant. The Wang family's ambition to seek power and connections in the army was so obvious that he wanted to expose his son.

"Chengxian, don't worry about these things, my father will never raise the ambition of a concubine in the future."

The prince was puzzled, "Father?"

"I have enough sons. But your younger brothers are so disappointing to my father. They were also born and raised by the noble daughters of the aristocratic family, but they can humiliate and beat their own brothers for no reason. Their morals are so low And Cao Concubine's son, although his biological mother was of low birth, is too bloodless. He was bullied by your younger brothers, not every year or two. But which year, which month, in the charity He has never seen me during Ninggong's greetings or during festivals?! But when he saw me, did he express a word? Such a resigned temperament, there is no shadow of Tai/ancestor blood. What a disgrace to Tai/Zu."

At the end of the sage's speech, he became angry.

Pity its misfortune, anger its indisputable!

He only needs to say one thing, why should he bear the burden of diskindness?Whenever he thinks of it, the saint feels pain in his heart, and it is difficult to rest his pillow.

"Father," the crown prince grabbed the saint's hand. "The nine sons of the dragon are different. Don't blame yourself. You have to worry about government affairs and the food, clothing and survival of tens of thousands of people in the government and the field. You really don't have much energy. You take care of all the affairs of the inner court, and all the other things. Children's."

The saint sighed, "Oh, if your mother is alive, she will take care of these things well."

When it comes to the queen, the prince's eyes are full of admiration.He said to the saint very piously: "Father, although the mother died young, you treat your son like a father and a mother. When my son was young, he did not suffer any grievances like the fourth brother. I am grateful to my father and brought my son in Raise by your side. I can't imagine, if you didn't bring your son with you, what would happen to you, what it would look like, and whether you would survive."

The prince's words moved the saint.That's right, if I hadn't brought the crown prince with me, with Concubine Hui's character, I'm afraid the crown prince would not have survived.

Alas, a child without a mother.The sage took pity on the prince, who lost his mother in his infancy.I feel even more pity for the humiliation suffered by the fourth prince without the support of his mother.

"Chengxian, take care of the fourth child and the sixth child when you have time. The fourth child's temperament has to be changed. Otherwise, when he leaves the palace and establishes a mansion, the father will worry that the clan members will bully him. And Xiao Liu, you should also take a look, don't let the second child mislead Xiao Liu."

"Yes, father. Don't worry, my son will definitely go to the study room more and take care of the fourth and sixth younger brothers."

"Oh, I'm worried about your second brother, who is about to grow up. But the bullying and ignorant temperament that has been cultivated over the years may not be able to change."

"Father, why don't you let the second brother copy more scriptures? The Buddhist scriptures are the most important for self-cultivation. It may be able to correct the second brother's disposition."

The sage thinks about it, the second prince is partial to martial arts, and lacks strategy.If he copied more scriptures, he could develop a compassionate heart, which would be the best.

"That's very good, let the second prince copy a hundred volumes of "The Curse of Rebirth" first, and enshrine it to Concubine Hui."

A little servant took the order.

At this time, the prince was watching the sage ordering the servant to pass the message, while thinking about what the sage said just now, "His sons are enough." ——Does the saint not want to have a son in the future?The prince doesn't think so.The concept of many children and many blessings has penetrated into the bone marrow of the Chinese nation.

But from now on, even if the sage wants to give birth, it is impossible for him to give birth.
