There is no need to delay the matter of setting up the curriculum for the prince. After all, it is the next generation, so I still value it very much.

Now that there are so many new things, you can’t just study the Four Books and Five Classics when teaching in the study room. You must also add arithmetic, current affairs, and people’s livelihood. In the afternoon, you will learn horseback riding and archery, and finally add fire & guns and the art of war. As for the other six arts of gentlemen Yes, it depends on their own preferences and they can learn something else, even if they don’t learn it, it’s okay, their identities are different from other people’s.

"Your Majesty, the six ministers, Zhongshu Ling and the general are already waiting outside the hall. Are you going to announce their audience now?" Yang Yong came over and asked the emperor when he saw what the emperor was still writing.

I raised my head, put down my pen, and said, "Let them in."

"No." Yang Yong went out and called for someone.

The six ministers, Zhongshu Ling, and the general looked at each other, feeling a little strange, after all, they paid attention to the occasion, did not inquire about anything, and did not make a fuss because of their different positions.

"My lords, Your Majesty let you in." Yang Yong smiled and said respectfully.

The six of them followed Yang Yong to the imperial study room. Naturally, the general and Zhong Shuling walked in the front.

After the eight people saluted, I asked them to stand up, and said directly: "You should have heard about what happened in the study yesterday, and I called you here today to ask, what do you think about what happened yesterday? view".

The eight people looked at each other, not knowing what His Majesty meant. His Majesty had been emperor for ten years. During these ten years, let them, the courtiers, get to know His Majesty well. It was stronger than they imagined. Even though the loyal king who wanted to bring down His Majesty earlier, there was no movement in the past two years.

I saw several people were silent, squinted their eyes with some dissatisfaction, looked directly at Zhongshuling, and asked, "Zhongshuling, you have the oldest qualifications here, let me talk about it first."

Zhong Shuling saw that the emperor called him by name, so he could only take a step forward. The empress had sent him news about what happened yesterday. I can only talk about it in private, but in the end, I said it directly in the crowded place like the study room, and even talked about His Majesty's bad deeds when teaching the princes. I don't know if it is to teach these princes badly, how could His Majesty tolerate it.

"The old minister thinks that the grand master did not do it right this time. The study room is the place to teach the prince to become a talent. Every child is a rough jade when he is young, and he needs to be carved by his majesty to become a talent. This grand master It is really abhorrent to think of teaching the prince to be bad, but the grand master is the elder of the three dynasties. He has taught the late emperor and His Majesty, and this matter is really difficult to handle." It doesn't matter if the teacher is wrong, after all, he is a veteran of the three dynasties, if it is reported that His Majesty is accused of mistreating an old minister, His Majesty can completely blame them on them.

I squinted my eyes, it is indeed an old fox, I have no problem with Xini on weekdays, but now I am related to the prince, and I am still with Xini..., he is really a smart person.

"Where's the general?" I ignored the order and looked directly at the general.

When the general was summoned by His Majesty, he discussed it with the staff in the mansion. His Majesty was afraid that it was for this matter today, so the staff said, whatever you say is fine, but you must never say good things about the Grand Master, and even if your Majesty wants to Letting the grand master go, can also explain that the general cares about the prince, but if your majesty hates the grand master in his heart, he will be troubled if he says good things about the grand master.

"I think that a person like the Grand Master should be severely punished. It is abhorrent to instigate the prince. If there is no death penalty in this dynasty, such a person can die a thousand times." Indeed, the Great Xia Dynasty is the most let Later people advocated that there should be no death penalty. This was the ambition of the ancestors. Later, the ancestors realized it, but the throne was in the hands of the ancestors, but the emperors began to impose the death penalty. this ordinance.

The death penalty, I smiled. I heard people from later generations say that the country has more than one billion people. At that time, how many people died was not important to the country. But now, how many people are there in Daxia?The entire country has less than [-] million people, plus natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the tyranny of the former emperor, although I have been emperor for ten years, the people have recuperated, and the number has increased. After all, the latest wave is only ten years old. It will take at least five years for them to grow up to take on the role. Now the imperial court builds cement roads and smelts steel, which one does not need people. Instead of letting them die worthless like this, it is better to let them create more value.

"Isn't the general too cruel? Our country governs the country with propriety. The grand master has gone through three dynasties. There is no credit but hard work. Now that the imperial army has ransacked the house, I feel that the lesson is enough. After this experience, the grand master must be careful. Remember, serve the emperor more attentively, and serve the Great Xia," the Minister of Rites stood up and said.

Ministers of the Ministry of Officials, Ministers of the Ministry of Households, Ministers of the Ministry of Industry, Ministers of the Ministry of War, and Ministers of the Ministry of Punishment did not speak. They could see very clearly that His Majesty had already condemned the Grand Master in the study room. For the crime of treason, His Majesty's purpose today is absolutely not Those who come to discuss the crimes of the Grand Master, their Majesty, like to make noises, and if they are not careful, they will fall into his trap.

"What about you? Do you have any ideas?" I looked at the other five people who didn't speak.

The five shook their heads in unison, expressing that they had no other thoughts.At this time, the general hadn't reacted yet, Zhong Shuling and the Minister of Rites both reacted immediately, Zhongshu Ling was fine, but Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites turned pale immediately.

I smiled, and I am satisfied with the general, and I am also quite satisfied with the five ministers who did not speak. The general is obviously someone who is behind his back. , the position is very clear.

"I asked you to come here today, and there is one more thing, that is, the grand master was arrested, and the princes temporarily suspended their classes, but this can't always go on, dear dears, what do you think?" Zhen asked.

After experiencing the incident with the grand master before, the few people present did not dare to answer casually, for fear of being brought in by the emperor again.

Seeing that they were silent, I didn't make things difficult for them anymore, and said directly: "I thought a lot about it last night. The prince's business is related to Guozuo, and the matter of the grand master gave me a blow. Therefore, the prince's father and son and courses need to be rearranged." That's it."

Several people looked at each other and saluted one after another: "But according to His Majesty's order."

I nodded and said: "I thought about it yesterday, the prince's courses must not only be four books and five classics and the gentleman's six arts, but a few more courses must be added, first of all, counting must be added to it, and then current affairs and people's livelihood, they must also learn Yes, I don't want the ridiculous words about why I don't eat minced meat to appear among my princes."

The hearts of the few present were twitched. In the past, the princes and grandchildren only came into contact with current affairs and people's livelihood after they became adults, and then they were assisted by the prince's mother's family. Therefore, the gap between each prince will be very far. Now they are all under the same conditions. , and at the same time contact with current politics and people's livelihood, will the gap between the princes be far, and it may be far, some people are born with this, the talent is too strong, and they can perform well among the princes who are not sensible, His Majesty will be particularly special It seems that the adults who have a concubine who gave birth to a prince in the house are facing difficulties.

"What do you guys think of my opinion?" I asked.

"Your Majesty, isn't it too early? The older princes are only five years old." Zhong Shuling stood up and said.

"Children in the Forbidden City can't use their age to measure what they will undertake in the future. They will have emperors, princes and princes in the future. What they are responsible for is this country. Even if they are still young, these things, they It’s time to get in touch.”

The general frowned, His Majesty's actions were very detrimental to the eldest prince, even if he was a rough man, he could tell that, although there were only five princes in the harem, anyone with a discerning eye could see that His Majesty treated the four princes in front of him. It's not that he doesn't pay attention to the fifth prince, but compared with the previous four princes, His Majesty's thought is really pitiful, and now he has started to let a few princes get in touch with current affairs. But the eldest prince, his grandson's health is not good. In the future, he will study not only the Four Books and Five Classics and the Six Arts of a Gentleman, but will his grandson's health be able to support it?

What the general can figure out, the other adults can naturally figure it out too. Among the princes, His Majesty does value the first four the most, and the first four come into contact with current affairs before other younger brothers, so let's go first One step, unless there is another prince who is the same as His Majesty, otherwise, the throne can be confirmed.

"If all the lovers have no objection, please recommend to me. Is there any suitable person to be the prince's wife?" I asked.

Zhongshu Ling's eyes flashed, and he said, "Your Majesty must have already made a decision in his heart."

"I do have an idea, that is, among the six ministries, you take turns to select a doctor to teach the prince the current affairs of the six ministries and the operation of the departments. Those who teach the Four Books and Five Classics will be selected from the Zhongshu Province. As for the strategy of military books, General Yunhui is not very good at this. Are you good at it? Let him teach the princes the art of war, what do you think?".

Not to mention the Great General and Zhongshu Ling, among the six departments, Fang Lin, Minister of Punishment, Deng Yuan, Minister of Rites, Yan Ruyu, Minister of Industry, and Cui Zihe, Minister of Officials, have no opinion. Fang Xiuying has passed away apparently, and the other three have no family members The daughter is a concubine in the harem, Minister of the Ministry of War Yang Bin and Minister of the Ministry of Household Chen Min are very dissatisfied. Concubine De is the granddaughter of Minister of the Ministry of War. Although Concubine De has adopted the fourth prince now, what if Concubine De gives birth to a prince in the future?Hubu Shangshu's niece is Chen Zhaoyi, who has not yet given birth to a prince, so His Majesty's move caught them by surprise.

"Since you don't have any objections, I'll thank you for your hard work. I still need to reschedule the specific courses for the princes. After all, there are some more contents now. Okay, you go back to arrange and kneel down." I waved my hand.

After a few people saluted, they left. Everyone had their own plans in their hearts.
