Seven children of four-year-old age are playing in Damingyuan.

The boy was squatting on the ground and watching the ants stammer.

The girl stretched out her hands to pick the flowers in the garden.

These are the princes and daughters of the Ming Dynasty today.

The children of Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse.

"Father!"

However, when Zhu Youxiao appeared here, the princes and daughters all ran over and surrounded him.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and touched the back of the head of the eldest son Zhu Ciwei. Seeing that the second son Zhu Cizhuo's shrouded, he held him in his arms and gave him the crown.

At this time, Zhu Ciwei ran aside and continued to watch the ants.

Zhu Youxiao was not angry when he saw this. He could not expect a child over three years old to suddenly become very mature.

But what Zhu Youxiao had to sigh was that his prince was so young that he had been targeted by the old foxes in the court.

"His Majesty!"

Queen Zhang Yan came with her concubines, all of whom were graceful and beautiful.

However, there are still rare scenes where these concubines come to see the emperor together. Except for major festivals, there is only the current time when Zhu Youxiao ordered them all to be summoned.

"I summon you today for one thing. In the future, there will be one more system for raising princes in the harem. This system is that after the prince is three years old, he shall not be raised by his biological mother, and shall be arranged to be raised by other concubines until he reaches the age of leaving the palace."

As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, his beautiful concubines stopped their smiles, and some looked at their princess.

In order to avoid the prince being too spoiled by his biological mother and being too willful, it is difficult to have the characteristics of perseverance and observing his expression and judging the situation, and also preventing the mother and son from relying too much on him, which will affect the affairs of the court, Zhu Youxiao had to make such a decision after careful consideration for a long time.

Because he knew that for a huge empire like the Ming Empire, the relationship between the national destiny and the monarch's personal ability was very great, so he naturally had high requirements for the monarch, and this also had high requirements for the prince.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had to strictly demand the princes from the beginning.

"The princes may not have to do this, but the princes must do this. The queen is responsible for the assignment and the two imperial concubines assist. Once the prince has something to do, he will be held accountable for the concubines who raise him. In order to avoid the concubines who raise him spoiled him more than his biological mother, if the prince is nothaves properly, he will also be held accountable for the concubines who raise him."

Zhu Youxiao continued.

"Abide by the order!"

Zhang Yan, Concubine Wang and Concubine Duan replied with a frown.

As a mother, she naturally doesn't want to be separated from her children.

But the Ming Dynasty harem was also a place with strict hierarchy, and they could not violate the emperor's will.

Zhu Youxiao didn't have to explain to them.

"I don't want to go to Concubine Chun's place. I have my own mother, why should I go to Concubine Chun's place?"

"Mother, can I not go?"

"Why did Father do this!"

But the princes naturally didn't know what it was impossible to violate the saint's order, so they just started crying in front of the concubines.

Queen Zhang Yan picked up the eldest son Zhu Ciwei here, wiped the tears from his face, and walked towards Jingyang Palace, and advised: "Don't be sad, I don't mean I won't see my mother in the future! You are princes, which is different from the children of ordinary people. Your father did this to let you know earlier how to do things when there is no mother by your side, otherwise, you will be able to become better in the future. If you don't become better, you will not be able to protect your mother. Do you know?"

Zhu Ciwei nodded, pouted, and said, "But I'm still sad!"

"It's good to be sad! Our prince finally knows what sadness is. If you know the feeling of sadness, you can know not to hurt others' hearts! Otherwise, you will never know why the mother scolds you because you smashed the inkstone at Fan promise, because Fan promised was smashed and cried by you. It's very sad. Just like you do now, do you understand, it's not good to feel sad, right?"

Zhang Yan said with a smile, then stretched out her fair white wrist and touched Zhu Ciwei's little head.

Zhu Ciwei still nodded: "I understand, I will never smash people with inkstones again, so they will be sad."

Zhang Yan smiled.

...

"All cry?"

Zhu Youxiao asked Liu Ruoyu about the princes moving to other concubines.

Liu Ruoyu replied: "The eldest son and the fifth son did not cry, but they also shed tears. The other princes cried loudly."

"This is also the first time they have felt what imperial power is, and they know that imperial power can make them cry."

After hearing Liu Ruoyu's words, Zhu Youxiao thought so in his heart.

In the evening, Zhu Youxiao turned over the queen's sign, and he intended to learn about what happened after the princes were no longer raised by their biological mothers.

But when Zhu Youxiao handled government affairs and returned to his bedroom from the second office of the Government Affairs Hall set up in Qinzheng Hall, he saw that the queen had already slept with her back to her outside.

Zhu Youxiao had to whisper and lie down flat, looking at the gold carvings on the upper part of the imperial bed, but his thoughts continued to echo Liu Ruoyu's words just replied.

"The Empress told the eldest son that the prince is different from the children of the people... and also told the eldest son that being sad is a good thing. If you know the feeling of sadness, you will know not to hurt others' hearts."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but turn his head to glance at Zhang Yan's back. His thin waist, which had become much bigger due to childbirth, was presented in front of him.

However, Zhu Youxiao found that Zhang Yan was twitching her shoulders slightly at this time.

Zhu Youxiao reached out and touched it: "So you haven't slept?"

"From the future, Kunning Palace will be my concubine and Ying'er, and Wei'er will be with Liang Fei from now on! He also said that he was very sad, and he was crying!"

Zhang Yan choked and said, sniffing.

"Let the emperor know that sadness is a good thing, you said it yourself. Besides, who can accompany whom for the rest of his life? Don't you still think that he always kicks you when he sleeps with you in Kunning Palace, so that you can't sleep well? Now that he has gone to Liangfei's place, no one will kick you in the middle of the night."

Zhu Youxiao said with a little assassination.

"But I just miss him! I can't bear to part with him!"

Zhang Yan replied.

Zhu Youxiao hugged her from behind.

...

"As for the princes going out to study, I chose Wang Jiazhi, Lou Jian, Zheng Yiwei, and other great scholars to teach the princes Wendao, Shen Yourong, Tong Zhongkui, Qin Liangyu, Xiong Tingbi and others to teach the princes martial arts and military tactics, and I also asked Your Majesty to read it."

Fang Congzhe handed Zhu Youxiao a list of recommended teachers about prince education.

After seeing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "My dear friends have put their hearts in mind. These people can be regarded as candidates for the prince's master. They are all planned to be appointed as the prince's master and be appointed as the young secretary."

Then, Zhu Youxiao asked again: "How is the Gongxue, Zongxue and Weixue running now? How are the academic progress of the royal family and nobles doing?"

Fang Congzhe replied: "The results are very little, and all are reported, and many people are absent from work."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao raised his sword eyebrows: "It seems that he has to be stricter and go to the King of Letters to see me!"
