Chapter 1883
....
1883 After the age of fifty
Empress Xue grabbed the child and shook her head helplessly.”Your Majesty, please let our little kun live a few months of peace! Don’t teach so much at such a young age? The second brother of the Gu family has just been promoted to the a.s.sistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, so there’s still some distance between him and the Grand Tutor. Can’t you give Xiao kun to him when he has enough time?”
The crown prince’s nickname was little kun. Since he was born in kunzhou, the Emperor gave him this nickname very casually.
The Emperor had discussed with the Empress Dowager that when Xiao kun was four years old, Gu shouxin would be the Grand Tutor, while Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu would be his Masters.
Although Empress Xue thought that four years old was still young, she couldn’t change the emperor’s mind. She also thought of the third Prince’s lack of education, and she had spoiled him too much, which led to the third Prince’s current situation. Thus, in terms of the little crown prince’s education, she still intended to listen to the Emperor.
When the Emperor ascended the throne, he was still young. King qu had secretly sent people to help him. Minister Lin was also ambitious at that time. The Emperor married Minister Lin’s daughter and removed one of his obstacles. As he slowly grew up, King qu became more restrained. The Grand Empress Dowager and the Emperor took great pains to grasp the power of the court. When they turned around, they found that the third Prince was not as good as the seventh Prince in many aspects.
However, if the seventh Prince became the Crown Prince, Prime Minister Lin’s side would definitely be arrogant. Therefore, the Emperor had never named a Crown Prince.
Now that Prime Minister Lin and King qu were gone, the West and East of great Zhou were at least temporarily stable. The Emperor now had time to groom the Crown Prince.
However, the East, northeast, and southernmost areas of the unknown ocean would definitely require his attention. He was also a lazy person, so he just wanted to quickly raise his son well.
His plan was to only teach his son one thing, and that was to not treat the throne like dirt. He had to be aware from a young age and shoulder this burden.
As for the other things in the book, he planned to give them to Gu shouxin and the two son-in-law of the Gu family.
If you asked him if he was afraid that Gu shouxin would lead his two son-in-law to teach the Crown Prince the wrong way, the answer was definitely not afraid. He was even more eager to do so!
He wanted to live a happy life, and he definitely wanted his son to live a happy life!
The Emperor held his wife and child in his arms and said lovingly, ” “Good, good, good, I’ll listen to the Empress. However, Empress, you have to promise Zhen that when we are fifty, we will retire and go out to play!”
The Empress asked,’fifty? We’re 50, but kun is only 11. Will he be okay?”
“Why not?” the Emperor asked. With Gu-er, Xue-er, and Lu-er watching over them, I’m very a.s.sured. I’ve already asked brother-in-law to find a route for us. When the time comes, I’ll bring you around the great Zhou. Didn’t the Empress still want to go to the West? I’ve also told my brother-in-law to go once every few years. You know my brother-in-law’s personality. He’ll definitely go out to find a place to play. And there’s Majesty Kang, he’s out there carefreely all day, I’m so angry just looking at him!”
The Empress could only respond with a smile. Her brother had long been spoiled by the Emperor. Raising her nephew Xue Qianyu was like raising a son. She had to raise him to be more outstanding so that her brother would have time to play. She would first give him a way to eat, drink, and have fun.
She didn’t know if the most distinguished man in the world she had married was good or not. Anyway, she only knew that this man had fulfilled all the promises he had made to her when she was young. She had not married the wrong man.
She was also quite curious and looked forward to what would happen after she turned fifty.
However, their little kun was stunned.
