Chapter 987: Elite

Li's mother, Han, has never interfered with Li Jing's decision, but only silently supported it.

This is a great mother, although she has suffered for half her life, she has never given in, but only relies on the tenacity and hard work of a Chinese woman to maintain her broken home. The old man believed in cause and effect, and after half a lifetime of suffering, he finally ushered in happiness. The only remaining San Lang Jing'er made an unexpected appearance, and now he has become the king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty. Up to now, although Li Jing was posthumously presented by the imperial court as the king of the three generations, and the Han family was also named the princess, she is still the same as before. She rarely interferes in her son's affairs, whether it is outside business or private affairs at home. She kept her duty as a woman, and only silently supported her son in the back.

Over the years, whether Li Jing was leading troops to fight outside, or marrying a wife and taking concubines, the Han family had hardly interfered.

Zhang Yingying is a female pirate or the queen of North Korea, in the eyes of the old princess, this is a woman who has her own children, even if she doesn't have a name, but after all, she gave birth to a daughter to Li Jing, and when she heard the news, she also knew that this was a very woman-keeping woman. This is enough, no matter how her identity changes, the old princess sees her as her daughter-in-law. Therefore, tonight's meal is specially prepared for this daughter-in-law who rarely returns home once in several years. The old man is quite satisfied with Zhang Yingying, she knows that it is not easy for a woman, let alone a woman from a pirate to a queen. She especially likes Little Blue Bird, the eldest daughter of the Li family and the eldest of all the Li family's grandchildren.

When eating, Han didn't eat much, but he kept taking chopsticks to pick up vegetables for the blue bird, Yanjing roast duck. even directly gave her two duck legs. The little blue bird also seems to be very fond of this amiable grandmother. Last time, she stayed in Yanjing for half a year. Almost all day long, I followed Han's.

Although it was said that this was a home-cooked meal to entertain Zhang Yingying, the Han family, which has always been traditional, still called Li Jing's two wives, Wang Guiniang and Yu Youniang, over. As for the other ladies, they did not call them because it was only a light meal. The addition of the two princesses made the atmosphere of the dinner not so relaxed. Li Jing could see that there was some discord between Wang Guiniang and Yu Youniang. I think that at the beginning, Yu Youniang stayed in the Li family without a name and no share, and she was very polite to Wang Guiniang. Complimented by sisters, the two have a good relationship. But now, both of them are in the main room, and they are both sons-in-law. At this moment, there was an obvious difference between the two.

Regarding this change in attitude between them, Li Jing just didn't see it. Even if he is invincible on the battlefield, invincible, and has the name of the god of war. But in the face of the women in the harem, sometimes I feel helpless. In fact, if Li Jing is willing to make a son as his subordinates hope. These harem battles will be much lessened. But for Li Jing, his eldest son is no more than ten years old. The youngest one is just over a year old. He himself is still old, and he has many sons, so he is not in a hurry to choose a son at this time. The prince is the future prince, the prince of a country, and it is related to the major affairs of the country. How could Li Jing decide at will?

Only when the sons are grown up can they really choose a suitable heir. However, the current Li Jing didn't say this openly, anyway, this matter is not in a hurry, as for the open and secret battles in the harem, he can't completely stop it, so he goes with them. As long as things don't go beyond Li Jing's bottom limit, he will go with them. But if anyone dares to go beyond the bottom limit and fight too much like last time, Li Jing will unceremoniously punish them.

The old princess naturally sees all these things in her eyes, but she seems to be as calm as Li Jing. Although she has a transcendent status in the Forbidden Palace, she does not actually manage specific affairs very much. In today's palace, the division of labor is clear, with Wang Guiniang and Yu Youniang as the two concubines, and the three ladies Wang Haojun, Xiao Yulou, and Zhang Huier are also in charge of many affairs, and their authority is not small.

The old princess only values the harmony of the family, peace and security, Li Jing inherits the Li family, spreads branches, and has many sons and grandchildren. As for the rest, whether rich or poor, the old lady didn't care. For these grandchildren and granddaughters, she is also a bowl of water, although it is inevitable that the two sons born to Gui Niang will be more valued.

After eating, Mother Li pulled Li Jing to talk.

"Gui Niang recently discussed with me and planned to let Dewei go to Tianlong Temple to practice!"

Dewei, the son of Li Jing and Wang Guiniang, is the second of twins. He is only a little over two years old this year, but he is exactly the same as his brother Dejue, and it is almost difficult to tell. Both brothers are very similar to Li Jing, and they both have a mole that has been a sign of the Li family for generations. On this point, the two are very fond of Han. But at this time, Han suddenly proposed that she and Wang Guiniang planned to let Dewei go to Tianlong Temple to practice, which was amazing.

Tianlong Temple is a temple that has not been built for a long time, and it is far away in a deep mountain at the intersection of Taihang Mountain, Yanshan Mountain and Yinshan Mountain Range. This is not only a large temple established after the improvement of Buddhism in the Qin Domain, but also a Buddhist college, according to the new system, all the remaining temples and monks have been given here for further study. In particular, the monasteries are no longer allowed to recruit disciples at will, and the number of monks recruited is strictly limited, and after recruitment, they must first be sent to Tianlong Temple for five years of study in the Buddhist college, and then they must join the army for five years of experience as a monk with the army, and then, they must have five years of missionary experience in the frontier and overseas areas, and they can only return to the monasteries after the last time.

Tenryuji Temple is now also known as the center of Protestantism, a holy place. Entering here to practice is not an ordinary practice, it must be to cultivate Buddhism for the rest of your life, and then you will have to go home.

Li Jing pondered for a while, and almost understood. The last time there was a battle in the harem, there were rumors inside and outside the palace that the twins were ominous and so on. Although this matter was immediately suppressed by Li Jing, it was obvious that this matter still worked. Now even Wang Guiniang and the Han family are also affected, but the ominous thing of the twins is not a rumor of the Wang Yu family. Among the people, there have always been rumors of ominous twins. Especially in the rich and noble family, the average twin will only raise one when they are born. The other was either drowned, abandoned, or sent to a temple or monastery to become a monk.

Unlike the dragon and phoenix fetus, the dragon and phoenix fetus is a good thing. But twins, especially twin boys, are considered unknown. Especially in a royal family like the Li family, and Dejue and Dewei are still sisters-in-law, and they have the possibility of becoming the princes of the world, and even the possibility of becoming the king of the Qin domain in the future, these twin lives are becoming more and more unlucky.

The Han family hopes that Gui Niang's son will become the son of the world, but the ominous birth of the twins is a shadow. They took the initiative to let the second child go to Tianlong Temple, which is equivalent to adopting the traditional method of raising only one. Keep the eldest Dejue and give up the second Dewei.

Although there is indeed an element of superstition in this, the twins do sometimes have real troubles. After all, if Dejue really becomes the son of the world, he has an identical brother, which is not a good thing after all.

But for Li Jing, such a disposal is unacceptable. Dejue Dewei are all his sons, whether they are concubines or concubines, they are all his sons. And the child is only a little over two years old, how could Li Jing let him go to the monk's house.

"I don't agree with this, mother." Li Jing shook his head, "Maybe Niangqin and Gui Niang are worried about rumors that the twins are ominous." In fact, it is not necessary, and it is even a matter of establishing a son, and it is too early to talk about it. ”

Han rarely expressed his opinion on this matter: "The prince should stand early, and the mother knows that you have your own ideas." But now that the Qin clan has a great cause, the early establishment of the prince can set the hearts of the people early, so as to avoid the turbulent dark tide below. ”

Li Jing helped Han Shi hammer his back, and said with a smile: "My son is only in his early thirties now, and these things are still early." ”

Seeing Li Jing's insistence, Han didn't say more.

"San Lang, you sent all the eighteen children of Dezhao to Dengzhou, how did I hear that the training over there is very hard."

"It's better to be bitter, let them understand things more, otherwise, it will not be good to accidentally become a gentleman. If the jade is not cut, don't worry about them. ”

Han is still a little worried, these days, those daughters-in-law who have been sent to Dengzhou have to come to the old lady every once in a while to talk about it, and they cry at every turn, saying that the children are too bitter now. In their mouths, these children are not going to be trained, they are like going to labor camps. "But I always think that you are too strict, the children are still so young, you should read more books at this time. Even if you want them to be brave and resolute, it's not too late to train them in a few years. ”

"Mother rest assured, the special training will not delay their study. Since they are my Li Jing's sons, they are born with fine clothes and food, and enjoy the title of prince and duke, so they naturally have to bear the corresponding responsibilities. If you can't afford even a little special training now, how will you be able to withstand more in the future? I told them a long time ago that if they can't bear the special training, they will not be able to get the tasks and things that my Li Jing gave them, including official positions and titles, etc., and withdrawing from the special training is equivalent to losing the right to be the heir. ”

Han was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Jing to say so seriously. If you withdraw from special training, you lose the right to be an heir. She shook her head, feeling that Li Jing had taught her son too harshly, but she still didn't interfere more.

"Mother, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, you don't have to worry too much, just enjoy more." Li Jing helped Han seriously hammer his back. "You don't have to worry about their affairs. I've already planned it, and now children over the age of seven will be sent to the Spartan training camp for boys and girls to the Rose camp for training. Those under the age of seven and over the age of three were to be sent to the palace kindergarten built in the royal city to receive enlightenment education, and from the age of three, the children of both boys and girls were educated in the kindergarten, and the child's mother was not allowed to interfere in the matter of education. Under the age of three, the child's mother is raised by herself. ”

Most of the royal descendants who were born in the deep palace and raised by women are as delicate as the flowers cultivated in the greenhouse. Although Li Jing has so many children, he can't be raised like a pig. His goal is to educate the elite, so that these children can become real elites, not just a good baby and easily have everything.
