Poor family mother and son

In any case, the grilled skewers at noon, because the ten princes were more affectionate to the emperor, made the emperor feel extremely delicious.

However, the old son's ideological problems must be resolved. The emperor decided to return to the harem early today to discuss the issue of education with the mother and concubine of the tenth prince.

This reason is a little grandiose.

The fact is that venison, leeks, oysters, kidneys, and cistanche porridge are so nourishing. This afternoon, my lower abdomen is warm and swollen, and I always lose my concentration when reading memorials.

The honeysuckle tea was just enough to keep the nosebleed under control, but it couldn't solve other problems.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the emperor had already begun to think about how to discuss education issues with the ten emperors, sons, mothers and concubines.

For several days in a row, the emperor went to the Tenth Prince's mother and concubine, thinking that he could hold down the disobedient gourd of the Tenth Prince, but unexpectedly, he picked up the gourd of the Ninth Prince.

The nine princes respected his father with a meal of nourishing kidney and nourishing hair with black hair, stewed pig brain with astragalus and ginseng, braised sea bass with green onions, stewed chicken wings with chestnuts, stewed squab with fresh soil tuckahoe, cold black fungus, black bean mullet Soup……

For the two gray hairs, Lao Jiu went to such great lengths, that the emperor not only did not feel his son's filial piety, but felt the sadness of dying.

And what Lao Jiu said was also irritating: "Father, when will you give your son a king's residence? My son wants to go out for a walk and have a look while he is still young. The world is so big, and my son has never been out of the capital..."

You are only ten years old, so you say "while you are still young"?So what is I, old bang dish (cèi)?
You have to seal the king's sub-mansion. You all come to me here to show your courtesy. Aren't you trying to please me for the sake of my throne?

Ouch, I don't know if I can get black hair from this meal, but the effect of tonifying the kidney is quick. The emperor was really anxious to find the Ninth Prince, Mother and Concubine and said, how do children be educated, so they are so unmotivated!

During this period of time, the emperor canceled reviewing the memorials before going to bed, and Eunuch Li felt that his legs were getting thinner. Even after Xu Shi, the emperor put down the papers, and Eunuch Li had to be sent to notify a certain concubine to attend bedtime.

The imperial palace is too big, if you run it yourself, you will be exhausted!
It's strange to say, it's also physical work, why isn't the emperor tired?Eunuch Li pinched his fingers and calculated, hey, it is estimated that around mid-autumn next year, how could an eleventh prince be produced?

Generally speaking, when people live to a certain age, they can clearly see the meaning behind their children's filial piety, who is pure filial piety without distracting thoughts, who is true filial piety but with tolerable motives, and who is showing filial piety with ulterior motives. human purpose.

The emperor thinks that he can control the vast world, but now he is a little confused. Why can't he see through his sons?
After a period of "in-depth" communication and discussion with the concubines in the palace, the emperor found that the original intention and educational purpose of the concubines had not changed, but the princes had other ideas.

The concubines still keep blowing pillow talk, saying how hard their son is studying, how kind-hearted and filial he is, but the behavior of the princes in front of him is not like this.

In the past, the princes worked tirelessly in accordance with the goals set by their mothers and concubines, but now they have the meaning of seeking the emperor's help to realize their ideals.

Some of the princes said that they wanted to be carpenters, some wanted to travel, and even one wanted to be a fisherman... Even the second child who has always been a chicken thief asked the emperor about his words, to the effect that if you don’t want to pass the throne to me, father , I was assigned to the Ministry of Industry to inspect water conservancy or something. I wanted to travel for business.

And the fourth brother, who has been keeping away from the second child, also mentioned that he wants to take up the position of the head and guest department of the Ministry of Rites, so that he can have a chance to visit the country of Voss.

The most worry-free are the boss and the third child. They only ask the emperor to invite a master of calligraphy, painting and instrumental music. They want to run wildly on the road of art.

The mother and concubine of the princes are still racking their brains to advance bravely, but the princes are all calm and calm.

The emperor did not establish a heir for a long time. On the one hand, it was because the eldest son, the eldest son, was in poor health, and the queen had not given birth to a second son in recent years;

They showed their covetousness for the throne early, but they have not yet shown the ability to match.

The throne is not only the supreme right, but also an immeasurable responsibility.

The emperor needs a son who can inherit his great ambitions, and this son must have a strong mother and wife family as support.

And all of this, at present, it seems that the power of the mother clan of the princes is too big, and the power of the princes is too small, and the overall quality of the princes themselves is far from enough to control their mother clan.

If he can't control it, it means that one day, his son who inherits the throne will become a puppet.

Why are the princes all similar in age?The first five are about the same, and the last five are not much different?
In fact, the emperor was cold enough. His relationship with the harem was based on political needs, not love, which is why the harem got together to have children.

The princes have their own personalities, each has its own advantages, but also has its own defects. The emperor has always expected them to improve themselves and stand out in the competition.

The emperor is also actively and diligently checking and balancing and centralizing power, hoping to create a good situation and pass it on to his son.

But the problem now is: the minds of the women in the harem are the same as before, what should the sons do if they don't want to make progress?
Obviously, the throne is the sweet pastry they scramble for openly and secretly, so how come it becomes a waste that no one wants?
"Ling Hai!" the emperor called out.

"The old slave is here, Your Majesty." Eunuch Li responded quickly.

"Go, let me find out, these days, what do the princes do every day, who do they interact with, and who has gone to the harem!" The emperor ordered.

Eunuch Li took the order and went.

What the emperor doubts most now is whether they have given too much face to the harem recently, so that they think they are favored, and they are plotting something together with the previous court.

No wonder the emperor was suspicious, indeed, the emperor had been visiting his concubines a lot this month, and they were all the concubines of the princes, and the others were still idle.

Concubines and concubines think that their future is bright because their sons have inherited the emperor's grace and rain?Naturally, the family members of the natal family should be called to make suggestions for a great cause.

For the sake of the word "balance", the emperor also moved his mind. Instead of going to a certain palace, he really achieved "even rain and dew" and was impartial. Who let his son not worry?

The key is to make up the fire!
Soon, the people sent out by Eunuch Li reported back one after another: the princes are doing as usual, they have not interacted with the previous court, but they are not serious in class, and each of them has been punished a lot.

On the contrary, their mother and concubine seem to miss their natal family very much, and it is often rumored that their natal family will visit the palace.

This result is worse than nothing.

Doesn't this mean that all his sons are not seeking to make progress!

"What the hell is going on!" The emperor felt a surge of anger, and he didn't know how to vent it: "They send me food every day, and they all get it from that kid from the Chu family. What has that kid Chu done recently? ?”

Since the princes are doing as usual, the one who has the most contact with him can only be Xiaobao. It seems that Xiaobao must have brought his son into trouble.

"The old slave has checked," Eunuch Li reported, "That kid is thinking about recipes every day, and he also searches for suitable dishes from his travel notes to discuss with the imperial doctor;
He often told the princes that he was considerate of the emperor's hard work, thanked the emperor for his great kindness, and wanted to repay the emperor well, and..." Eunuch Li didn't find out what Xiaobao said was wrong, so he felt that he had reported it for a long time, as if he was praising that Like a child, the emperor was in a bad mood, so he hesitated whether to continue talking.

"What else?" The emperor asked impatiently, but he didn't hear anything wrong.

"What's more, that child is very envious of the princes, saying that their parents are both present, and that they have father's love and mother's love. It is very sentimental." Eunuch Li quickly finished speaking.

As for the remarks of "White House" and "Chu State", Eunuch Li's disciples and grandchildren have already reported it.

The emperor also knew that these two words could not prove anything. When he became suspicious, these two words were not words, but thorns; but now that he was not so suspicious, emphasizing these two words would only show the emperor's ignorance.
