Chapter 1283: The Prince
The palace of all dynasties, the most troublesome thing is the matter of the heir, I don't know how many tragedies in Lu Dao happened from the competition for the heir to the throne, Su Tiancheng set up the crown prince early, he didn't want to repeat such a tragedy.
The prince who grew up in the deep palace is like a flower in a greenhouse, he can't withstand the wind and rain, and he won't have much interest, so let such a prince manage the country, you can imagine what kind of ending it will be.
Su Tiancheng is well aware of the truth, so when he determined many rules, he set up rules for the prince.
After the prince reaches the age of sixteen, he has to go out to experience, he must experience the sufferings of the people, he must learn to deal with many matters independently, and he must be able to make relatively accurate judgments, and the time of this experience is not less than two years.
The crown prince Su Mingjie is already fifteen years old, and he is sixteen years old.
Su Tiancheng always remembered Su Ming's experience of going out of the way.
The situation after a few hundred years may be a little different, children with good family conditions, when they are fifteen years old, may still be coquettish by their parents' side, or they may enter a rebellious period, and they will always be against their parents, but Su Mingjie grew up in the royal family, and he will have to take on important responsibilities in the future, and he will not be able to govern a huge country.
Su Tiancheng paid great attention to the discipline of Su Mingjie and put more effort into it, unlike this, for other children, Su Tiancheng's requirements were not particularly strict, and even had some pampering taste.
Su Mingjie has grown up, a talent, polite, and humble.
Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou, Qian Qianyi, Zhang Pu and others have special appreciation for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, believing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is knowledgeable, respectful of others, and able to consider others at all times. The most touching detail for them is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insists on making tea for the gentleman who teaches in person every time, and during the interval between lectures and rests, he also has to specifically interrogate the gentleman if he is tired. said that this was requested by his father, and there would never be a trace of the prince's frame in front of Mr. Liu Zongzhou and others even believe that judging from the conduct shown by His Royal Highness the Prince, he must be a Ming monarch in the future.
But Su Tiancheng was not satisfied, these details can only show that Su Mingjie is an adult.
The prince's experience was officially put on the agenda.
Although the Minister of Chinese and Wu did not object, they raised a lot of questions, such as the issue of safety and security, etc., which cannot be ignored, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has suffered any infringement. It was a major event that shook the country's foundation, but Su Tiancheng insisted that the prince must go out of the country to experience, this kind of experience is not to completely require the prince to endure hardships, but to know the hardships of the people, and to know what can and cannot be done after becoming the king of a country.
The views are finally unified, but the matter of safety and security. Su Tiancheng was distressed.
Wang Dazhi, who has become the commander of the forbidden army, insisted on personally accompanying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go through the training. The martial arts and martial arts around Su Tiancheng also put forward a request, personally escorted the prince, and followed His Royal Highness the prince out of the palace to go to the training, and Liu Tiehan, the deputy governor of the Governor's Mansion and the chief soldier of the Jiangning battalion, also made a request, not only personally following His Royal Highness the prince to practice. It is also necessary to select the most elite scouts from the scout camp and follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make efforts.
Where is this experience, it is simply disturbing the people.
If it goes down with such a formation, wouldn't it be a grand reception in various places, and what Su Mingjie is facing may be a grand reception in various places. Hospitality, walking around the place, maybe you will develop some bad habits.
Su Tiancheng finally made a decision, the prince's entourage did not exceed ten people, Wang Dazhi was mainly responsible, Wu Fu and Wu Gui followed closely, five people were selected from the scout camp and followed together, as for the remaining two, Su Tiancheng had his own arrangements.
Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou entered the palace.
Here they are very familiar, and often come, the emperor set the rules, please learn the great Confucian to the palace to teach, once a month, the court of more than three officials, all have to listen to the lecture, this kind of teaching is not as simple as imagined, these three grades of more than the civil and military ministers, all are very powerful, the teaching is divided into three steps, the first is the Confucian lecture, then the minister asked, the Confucian answered, there will be a controversy in the middle, the emperor is involved in it, the most important is the emperor to make a summary, There are special records of historians, and if necessary, these records will be specially compiled and distributed.
The difference is that the governor mainly listens to the lectures in his own province, and goes to the capital once every three months in batches to enter the palace to listen to the lectures.
Liu Zongzhou and others, in the process of this kind of teaching, their views have also been greatly improved, for example, Liu Zongzhou's Shendu, this point of view has been approved by the emperor, but this is a prerequisite, and it is also under the constraints of the system. In the process of continuous discussion, under the influence of many examples of previous dynasties, Liu Zongzhou finally accepted this point of view completely and wrote a special article.
Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou saw the emperor, there is no need to kneel, they are the husbands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Two gentlemen, I have a matter, I want to ask the two, the spring ploughing has begun, it is the right time, the prince must go out to practice, the time is tentatively set for two years, you can return to the capital during the Spring Festival, I want to ask the two to accompany the prince to the experience."
Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou were stunned for a moment, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty wanted to accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go out to practice, it is said that they were fighting for it, and they didn't expect the emperor to want the two of them to accompany them, which was a huge glory and the emperor's greatest trust.
Liu Zongzhou immediately spoke.
"The minister swears to serve, and he must accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to experience, and the minister thanks the emperor for his trust."
Zodiac Zhou is not far behind.
"The minister must do his best to accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Su Tiancheng raised his hand to stop the two of them.
"I asked the two gentlemen to accompany the prince to experience, there are several requirements, the two are Confucian, knowledgeable, the prince is young, the so-called learning is endless, can not because of the experience, it will delay the study, must always learn, this is the first point, the prince's identity is not ordinary, the future needs to govern the whole country, if there is no own knowledge, can not distinguish between right and wrong, it will be the misfortune of the country, so the prince this experience, must be aware of the people's suffering, know what can be done, what can not be done, Therefore, during the prince's training, there must be a feeling, after writing, I have to read it in person, this is the second point, the prince is young, there is still a gap in self-control, don't say the prince, it is me, if it is not for the constraints of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers, and the two of them, they will also indulge in pleasure, I understand very well, do any thing, it is very easy to insist on it for a short time, and it is not a simple thing to do it for a long time, so the prince goes down to experience, and conduct is still the top priority, this is the third point, the two are Confucians, I have experienced a lot of things, and my knowledge is by no means comparable to that of the prince, and I admire them, so I distinguish between good and evil, and ask the two of you to remind you that the prince has something that is not good, despite criticism, this is the fourth point. ”
Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou looked at each other, where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going out to practice, the whole thing is to go down to study and endure hardships, and they have to be subject to many constraints, but they are very moved, the emperor has such strict requirements for His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the blessing of the Great Jin, and it is the blessing of the people of the world.
Back in the harem, Su Tiancheng saw that Zhu Xianxin's eyes were a little red.
The news that Su Mingjie is about to go down to practice, Zhu Xianxin must know the Tao, the mother and son are connected, they have not been separated for so many years, and they must be uncomfortable in their hearts, about the benefits of Su Mingjie's training, Su Tiancheng also specifically told Zhu Xianxin.
"Your Majesty, the prince is about to leave the capital, the prince is already fifteen years old, should the matter of the big wedding be considered before the experience."
Su Tiancheng showed a wry smile on his face, Zhu Xianxin has said this matter several times, but the times are different, this, fifteen-year-old engagement is nothing, not to mention that many civil and military ministers are staring at Su Mingjie, and they can't wait to marry their daughter to Su Mingjie, this is a normal thing.
"Queen, I think the prince's age is still not very old, don't think about the affairs of men and women for the time being, you also know that it is very bad to indulge in the affairs of men and women, the most important thing for the prince now is to observe the people's feelings, enhance his own ability, know which is more important, this marriage, wait until the prince returns to the capital, and then consider it."
Tears appeared in Zhu Xianxin's eyes.
"The emperor is strict with the prince, the concubines see it in their eyes, they are happy in their hearts, the prince goes out to practice, although the concubines are heartbroken, they are also fully supported, the concubines have read "Born in Sorrow and Die in Peace", knowing that the Taoist experience is very important to the prince, but the prince's marriage, the concubines also have their own considerations, and the prince is not young."
Su Tiancheng sighed, in fact, he had already accepted a lot of understanding of this era, and some things were just slowly changed.
"Since the queen thinks so, I think that before the prince goes down to practice, I can consider the candidate for the crown princess, but the matter of marrying is still after the experience, I have made the biggest concession, I have strict requirements for the prince, and different requirements for the rest of the children, the queen can understand, and I am also at ease."
Determining the candidate for the crown princess is also a big deal, Su Tiancheng knew that this matter will definitely cause a lot of discussions and disputes in the court, and he has to spend his heart to deal with these things, but there is no way, this is his duty, the words of the parents, the marriage of the children, of course the parents should be worried.
