Chapter 171: Fifth Highness Zhu Youjian

"Go to the West Six Palace!"

After Liu Ruoyu left, Zhu Youxiao gave Wang Chengen an instruction.

Zhu Youxiao asked the queen to see the fifth prince to see how the queen would discipline Zhu Youjian, who is only ten years old now, and further take a look at the queen's methods.

Zhu Youxiao went to the West Six Palaces by himself to meet Concubine Liu.

Zhu Youxiao did not allow anyone to mess with his harem.

The women of the late emperor were not good either.

Zhu Youxiao went to Xianfu Palace where Concubine Liu lived.

"Your Majesty is here!"

When Wang Chengen shouted, Su agreed to run in and said to Concubine Liu: "The emperor is here, Concubine!"

"emperor?"

Concubine Liu also stood up in shock, with a look of anxiety on her face.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao had already walked in.

Concubine Liu hurriedly greeted Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Don't be polite to concubine. Since I ascended the throne, I have been busy with everything and have not had the opportunity to see you. So now I have taken time to visit you. You are all those who have served the late emperor. I should have supported you well and should have some sympathy for you."

As Zhu Youxiao said this, he ordered Wang Chengen: "Wang Chengen, go and call the other concubines here, I want to see them."

then.

Wang Cheng'en then sent an order to let all the concubines come here.

Zhu Youxiao waited for all the concubines to arrive before he smiled and asked, "Are you all here?"

"Go back to the emperor, you're all here."

Wang Chengen replied.

Zhu Youxiao nodded because of this.

At this time, Concubine Liu asked first: "Your Majesty, have we committed some crimes, so you suddenly came here?"

Zhu Youxiao looked back at Concubine Liu: "It's okay, can't I visit you elders?"

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao said to Concubine Liu again: "By the way, Concubine Liu, I heard from the queen that you have always wanted to become a monk and want to go to the Buddhist temple to find peace, but you can spend the rest of your life and pray for the country of Ming Dynasty. Is this a matter?"

After hearing this, Concubine Liu hurriedly denied: "I haven't said it."

Zhu Youxiao said seriously: "No, you said it! You really want it!"

Concubine Liu was stunned and said even more uneasy: "Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao laughed: "It's not that my queen would remember the wrong words, right?"

Zhu Youxiao said this and looked at Concubine Liang next to him: "Concubine Liang, what do you think?"

Concubine Liang smiled: "What Your Majesty said is that the queen is the lord of the six palaces, how could she remember it wrong? I have heard from Concubine Liu."

After Concubine Liang said this, Concubine Liu understood and smiled bitterly, "Yes, I said it."

"You are the last emperor's person, and I don't want to disobey you. In this way, you should go to Jingfo Temple in Xishan to become a monk. Anyway, that area is also the farmland given to you by the last emperor!"

As Zhu Youxiao said that, he ordered Wang Chengen: "Wang Chengen, who is the eunuch in charge of the affairs, I will take good care of the concubine. If the concubine makes any mistakes, I will ask him!"

"I obey the order!"

Wang Chengen replied.

"I thank Your Majesty."

Concubine Liu replied awkwardly.

"Why do you have to be polite to Concubine Liu!"

Zhu Youxiao said that, and got up and left: "I have something to do, so I won't disturb the peace of the concubines."

After Zhu Youxiao left, Concubine Liu sat still and watched as she was out of the door.

Other concubines shook their heads and were lucky enough to gloat, but these people began to understand that the queen is the one who is in charge of the harem now, because the queen's words can make the emperor decide to make a concubine become a monk.

...

Concubine Li Zhuang, who was responsible for raising Zhu Youjian, also left Xianfu Palace and returned to his bedroom.

What happened just now impressed her and made her understand the same truth.

"The Empress is here!"

Therefore, after the eunuch in the direct palace of Kunning Palace shouted, Concubine Li hurriedly brought Zhu Youjian to greet him: "I have seen the queen!"

Queen Zhang Yan smiled and looked at Zhu Youjian next to her: "Are you the fifth prince?"

Seeing this, Concubine Li Zhuang hurriedly reminded Zhu Youjian: "Fifth Prince, I will salute you the princess."

"My brother has met the emperor's sister-in-law."

Zhu Youjian hurriedly replied.

Zhang Yan smiled, touched Zhu Youjian's little head, and asked, "Let's go with me to Kunning Palace to have fun. Where is there any fun in this palace?"

Zhang Yan said that and took Zhu Youjian away.

Seeing this, Concubine Li didn't know what to say, so she naturally didn't dare to stop her.

When Zhang Yan brought Zhu Youjian to Kunning Palace, she took out the bamboo dragonfly and shook it in front of Zhu Youjian, asking, "Do you like this?"

"like!"

Zhu Youjian sat honestly on the chair and replied.

"Then tell my sister-in-law, are you studying? What books are you reading?"

Zhang Yan remembered that the emperor told her on the bed that when he saw a person becoming, he would look at what books he was studying in the future. So he called Zhu Youjian to Kunning Palace alone, just like Zhu Youjian was like Zhu Youjian and asked Zhu Youjian what books he was studying when there was no one else.

Zhu Youjian, who was only ten years old, was still in his childlike heart. In addition, he was the only boy in the inner court, and his entertainment life was monotonous. Therefore, his mind was already on the bamboo dragonfly, so he honestly replied: "In addition to the Four Books, there are "Zhenguan Zheng Yao" and "Ten Thoughts on Advising Emperor Taizong"."

"Who read these books for you?"

Zhu Youxiao came in at some point and asked Zhu Youjian.

"His Majesty!"

When Zhang Yan saw the emperor appear, she stood up and smiled like a flower.

Zhu Youxiao nodded to the queen, then looked at Zhu Youjian and asked, "Do they want you to be emperor in the future? You actually want to teach you these things."

Zhu Youjian became a little panicked and replied: "What do they teach me and what I will study? I don't know if I want to be an emperor after reading these."

"Who is teaching you?"

Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Eunuch Du, Eunuch Wang and others."

Zhu Youjian explained the eunuch who taught him to study without hesitation.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and ordered Wang Chengen: "Transfer the order to Liu Ruoyu, and all the eunuchs who taught the fifth high school and Concubine Li Zhuang were sent to the internal factory prison for strict trial, as well as the promises around Concubine Liu!"

"I obey the order!"

Wang Chengen replied.

Zhu Youjian stood there in fear and did not plead for his eunuch.

Zhu Youxiao said to Zhang Yan at this time: "You take your brother to Concubine Liang and hand him over to Concubine Liang to raise him. Concubine Li Zhuang no longer has to go there. In addition, tell Concubine Liang what "Zhenguan Zheng Yao" and "Ten Thoughts on Advising Emperor Taizong" that he can no longer learn, and I will personally discipline his studies."

Zhu Youxiao said, "Wang Cheng'en, bring the textbooks I prepared for the emperor's brother."

"yes!"

Wang Chengen replied, and then came from a group of books and handed them to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao took it over and handed it to Zhu Youjian. He smiled and touched his head and said, "Brother Emperor, this is what you should learn as a vassal king. You must study hard. If you don't learn well, I will be very unhappy with your brother."

"Yes! I remember."

Zhu Youjian took over the book and saw that books he had never seen were "Introduction to Mathematical Science", "Introduction to Natural Philosophy", and "Evolution of Heaven".

In fact, except for "Evolution and Ethics of Heaven", these books are basically some basic books of natural science written by Zhu Youxiao himself.

In fact, without Fang Congzhe reminding, Zhu Youxiao had never relaxed his control over Zhu Youjian. He had long planned to train Chongzhen in science and engineering to avoid making Zhu Youjian a qualified candidate for the king in the eyes of civil servants.

Moreover, in Zhu Youxiao's view, judging from the performance of Zhu Youjian's emperor in history, Zhu Youjian, who was diligent but lacked in talent, would rather be honest in academic research and be an academic vassal king in the future. In this way, civil servants outside can give up the idea of ​​letting Zhu Youjian be the emperor.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also gave Zhu Youjian a chance. If Zhu Youjian could not become an academic vassal king, he would still make special measures in the future.

For this reason, Zhu Youxiao ordered Liu Ruoyu after returning to the Ganqing Palace: "After the fifth prince's side, the promised private officials must be absolutely reliable people in your private factory. If the fifth prince has any words and deeds that are not conducive to the country, report them immediately!"

"I remember the emperor's instructions."
