Chapter 381: Discussing the Royal Family
The emperor nodded, "That's very good."
"Since the prince has his own plans for Yangyang's education, you two are not allowed to cry and make trouble anymore."
He turned and spoke sternly to the Queen and the eldest princess.
Although the two were reluctant, they had no choice but to nod and agree.
From then on, the eldest princess would wait until Jun Yuyang fell asleep at night before sneaking into the military camp to see him.
I cry every time I watch it.
He finally turned five and could go home, and the eldest princess began to pamper him again.
But this time, Jun Yuyang was sensible and no longer took advantage of his favor to become arrogant. He learned to be grateful.
In addition to going to school every day, he also had to receive tutoring from Zuo Zixuan when he returned home at night.
Other children would go to bed at sunset, but he would not wash up and go to bed until the hour of Hai. He would get up at the hour of Yin in the morning to recite his lessons and practice martial arts.
No matter what time he went to bed and got up, the eldest princess was always with him.
The eldest princess would personally pick him up and drop him off at school every day.
The two of them were as affectionate as mother and son.
Jun Yuyang had always been an A student in school, but on this day he got into a fight at school, and it was the first time he used his power to bully someone.
“Jun Yuyang, I heard that you have been raised by the eldest princess’s nemesis widow since you were born.
You really have parents who gave birth to you but not parents who raised you.
Your widow aunt killed the emperor of Liuli Country. You should be careful, don't let him kill you before you become the crown prince."
clap clap clap...
bang...
Jun Yuyang slapped Yun Tao, who was a head taller than him, in the face several times, and then kicked him away.
He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and these moves almost knocked Yun Tao unconscious.
Before Yun Tao could come to his senses, he was kicked hard on the chest.
"How dare you, the son of a mere minister of rites, criticize the royal family? Your father, who is in charge of the country's laws and regulations, taught you that?
Don't say that I am a prince and you are not allowed to talk about me.
Even if you are just an ordinary person, what does other people's family affairs have to do with you? "
"Come here, take me to the palace. I want to ask my grandfather if he gave the Minister of Rites and his family the right to discuss the royal family.
I would also like to ask the Minister of Rites what the crime is for making irresponsible remarks about the royal family."
After saying that, he threw down his sleeves heavily, turned around and left.
The teachers in the school were all dumbfounded. He could see a domineering aura from the five or six-year-old child in front of him.
This vigorous and resolute behavior is in no way inferior to that of the prince in the past.
When the prince was his age, he was also a ruthless person. Anyone who dared to provoke him would be punished.
Jun Yuyang really did what he said and turned around and went to the palace to find the emperor.
The teacher reacted belatedly and quickly called the academy's servant to inform the wife of the Minister of Rites that Yun Tao might have gotten into a fatal disaster.
"Your Majesty, Young Prince Yu Yang requests to see you." Eunuch Sun reported respectfully.
The emperor, who was writing at his desk, raised his head and said in surprise:
"Does that guy need to be notified when he comes to see me?
Isn't it always rushing around?
Today is a bit strange.”
"That was when we were little, your Highness has grown up now.
I know the etiquette..."
"Hahaha... Okay, let him in." The emperor was very pleased.
Jun Yuyang knelt in front of the desk and said respectfully:
"My grandson has met Grandpa Huang."
The emperor felt very pleased when he saw the little dumpling kneeling well-behaved in front of him.
When it comes to teaching children, the prince and his wife are really good at it.
Look at Jun Yuyang, and then look at the children of the other sons, the gap between good and bad is immediately widened.
"Grandson, no need to be polite. Why did you want to come and see grandpa today?"
"Grandpa, I have something to report."
"Oh, what's the matter? Tell me..."
Jun Yuyang told the emperor what happened in school in a clear and logical manner.
bang...
"What a great Minister of Rites, how dare he criticize the royal family."
"Come here, select the Minister of Rites and his family to come to the audience."
While waiting for someone, Jun Yuyang sat obediently on the stool and waited, and by the way, talked to the emperor about his recent studies.
The emperor was very pleased to see him so calm.
This child's confidence is even greater than that of his father, not to mention that of other imperial grandchildren.
When his father was his age, he was not as calm and organized as he is.
After an incense stick of time, the Minister of Rites came to the imperial study with his family and children.
When the Minister of Rites learned that his son had offended the Crown Prince's son in school, he almost fainted from fright.
Although he didn't know what the matter was, but since Jun Yuyang had been provoked to the point of reporting to the emperor, it seemed that the matter was not small.
"Your humble servant pays respect to the emperor." The Minister of Rites knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
"The Minister of Rites is really a good parent. You are in charge of the country's laws and regulations, and you dare to talk about the royal family behind their backs?
How many lives does your family have?
Or who gave you the right to criticize the royal family?"
"How dare I criticize the royal family? Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to do that."
The Minister of Rites explained anxiously.
"Don't dare? Don't dare. Why did your son make irresponsible remarks about the princess in the school?"
The emperor slapped the desk hard.
The Minister of Rites and his family were so frightened that they dared not even breathe.
The Crown Prince, Zuo Zixuan, and the eldest princess, who received the news, hurried into the imperial study.
The prince looked down at the Minister of Rites and his family, paid his respects to the Emperor, and did not interrupt. They all found places to sit down.
On the way here, he had already understood what had happened.
He also felt that the family of the Minister of Rites was really bold. Although this matter came from the mouth of a child, the adults usually did not mention it in front of the child, so how could the child say it so convincingly?
When the Minister of Rites saw the Crown Prince and his wife and the Princess had arrived, he almost wanted to die.
He really had never spoken of royal matters at home. How could his son make irresponsible remarks about the princess?
"You rebellious son, what's going on?
Tell me exactly what happened. If you say even a word less, I'll beat you to death."
He pulled Yun Tao to his side and asked.
Yun Tao was frightened by the aura of the people in the room, and he cried and told the truth about what had happened.
After hearing this, the Minister of Rites almost fainted.
"Where did you get all this nonsense?"
Yun Tao looked at his mother Wang crying, "I heard it when mother was talking to Sister Cui'er."
Wang was crawling on the ground, her whole body shaking like a sieve.
"Your Majesty, my wife is guilty..."
The Minister of Rites really wanted to strangle his gossipy wife to death at this moment. Why could a woman have such a mean mouth?
It's fine if you gossip about other people behind their backs, but can you just talk about the royal family's affairs casually?
The fact is already like this, now it depends on how to deal with it.
The emperor looked at Jun Yuyang, who was calm and composed, and asked, "In my grandson's opinion, how should this matter be punished?"
Jun Yuyang knew that the emperor was testing him. He thought for a moment and said in a resounding voice:
"The Minister of Rites is an important official in the court, in charge of the country's laws and regulations, sacrifices, schools, imperial examinations and other matters.
You have been working diligently these years, and I have not done too much investigation.
But if a son is not well educated, it is the father's fault, and ultimately he has not raised his children well.
A fine of three months’ salary was imposed as a warning.
If it happens again, you can resign and return to your hometown to retire."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction.
Discuss merit first, then punishment.
Not bad, not bad…
“Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness…” The Minister of Rites and his family knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Making irresponsible comments about the royal family is indeed a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan.
But in Jun Yuyang's opinion, saying a few words is nothing, and it won't cost someone's life.
Even if this matter fell to his grandfather and his father, they would not sentence his entire clan to death. At most, they would be beaten with a stick.
The main purpose of making such a big fuss today is to warn others and prevent some ignorant people from discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the royal family.
After the Minister of Rites and his family returned, Yun Tao was severely beaten by his father and was handed over to his mother for upbringing.
Wang was beaten with twenty boards and locked in the ancestral hall, where she knelt for a day and a night.
After this incident happened, the news spread not only in the court, but also throughout the entire Manchu noble circle.
They were all shocked by Jun Yuyang's momentum and demeanor.
They really didn't expect that such a young child could handle the matter so smoothly.
Families with daughters all started to secretly set their sights on Jun Yuyang.
Everyone was celebrating the birth of such a genius as Jun Yuyang in the royal family, but the eldest princess was unhappy.
"Aunt, are you unhappy recently?" Jun Yuyang turned his head and looked at the eldest princess who was sitting beside his desk and grinding ink.
The eldest princess looked at Jun Yuyang and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Aunt, do you care about what Yuntao said?"
The princess sobbed and said, “Yang’er, your aunt is an unlucky person.
Worrying will hold you back, as they say, from your career.”
Jun Yuyang took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the eldest princess' tears.
"What nonsense is this, Aunt?
Yang'er has lived with his aunt since he was a child. If it were true as the nonsense outside world said, how could Yang'er be so strong and smart?
This is all thanks to my aunt.
Don't be afraid, auntie, Yang'er will always protect you."
The eldest princess hugged Jun Yuyang in her arms and burst into tears. Her love for this child was worth it.
The prince and his wife standing behind the door looked at each other and left quietly.
Having learned from Jun Yuyang's wrong education, the eldest princess became much stricter with the second child. While loving and doting on him, she also focused on moral education.
Therefore, the second child has always been a model of a noble lady.
After the incident involving the Minister of Rites' family, all the officials went home and scolded their families, forbidding them to gossip about the royal family.
After this rectification, there was no news of any slander against the royal family for a long time.
It is impossible for a country to remain peaceful forever. Over the past ten years, the surrounding small countries have become restless and have begun to provoke Daman intentionally or unintentionally.
They know that in the past ten years, Daman has vigorously transformed agriculture and manufacturing, and has achieved remarkable results in various fields.
The more this happens, the more they want to take it for themselves.
They felt that the Great Man had not fought a war for ten years, and that the Crown Prince, who was once invincible, was probably already unfamiliar with warfare.
Moreover, the strength they have accumulated over the past ten years is enough to defeat Daman.
