Chapter 856 Family Tradition

As soon as this sentence came out, the other three people were silent instantly.

The oldest among them was only six years old, and the youngest was four years old. They were too young to have a basic understanding of the level of official positions, and most of them were told by their elders at home. They did not know the specific official titles, powers and jurisdiction of the positions.

Moreover, the children were young, and even if they were eloquent and good at rebutting, they could not argue with others in an unknown field. Therefore, although they felt that Jiang Ye’s words were inappropriate, they could not argue with reason.

If they were adults, they would at least be able to distinguish between the superiority and inferiority of the monarch and loyalty to the monarch, but the children did not have a deep understanding for the time being. After a long silence, Cheng Xiao spoke again: "The emperor is the one who governs the country. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also govern the country when he grows up. We are loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Jiang Ye asked: "What is loyalty?"

Cheng Xiao frowned and thought for a moment, "Loyalty is... that is, um, listen to the Crown Prince?"

"Loyalty means studying martial arts well, making yourself very powerful, and helping the Crown Prince when you grow up." Fu Danqing took over the conversation, "This is what my father said."

Cheng Xiao nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean."

Outside the side window, Rong Yu held Hao'er and listened quietly to the childish arguments of the four children in the hall, his eyes fell on Hao'er's face, "What do you think?"

Hao'er did not answer immediately , but asked: "Father, how many companions do you need?"

"Not too many." Rong Yu said, "Originally four were enough, but I want to train more outstanding children for you. The number does not need to be too fixed, but the best must be selected."

Hao'er nodded: "Then except Xu Han, the other three will stay."

Rong Yu hugged him and turned back to the Dazheng Palace: "Why?"

"Xu Han is very competitive in his words. When he mentioned his father, the most direct sentence was 'take the exam to become a high official', which proves that he is very utilitarian. It must be the family tradition of the Xu family that makes the children behave like this."

Utilitarianism is not a fatal flaw, but if such a person really enters the official career in the future, he will definitely put personal interests above everything else, abuse power for personal gain, and even use power to oppress others. Such people cannot be used.

Rong Yu nodded: "Where is Jiang Ye?"

"Jiang Ye has a bad temper and is a bit hot-tempered." Hao'er frowned slightly, "Although my family should have explained before I came to the palace that what Cheng Xiao and Fu Danqing said might not necessarily be my own thoughts, but Jiang Ye was disrespectful and didn't know how to restrain his temper after entering the palace. It can be seen that he is also a little bully at home."

Rong Yu smiled faintly: "So you still keep him?"

"He is smarter than Fu Danqing and Cheng Xiao, and he is also very courageous."

"Want to stay and hone yourself?"

Hao'er said: "You can try."

Rong Yu said gently: "What if you are wrong?"

"The Grand Tutor said that you can tell a child's future from his childhood. You can tell the family style from a child, and the family style can affect a person's life. "Hao'er answered his father's question very clearly, "Father also said that it is difficult to change one's nature. Hao'er thinks that what father said and what the Taifu said make sense. "

Rong Yu nodded slowly: "Then what do you think of Zhan'er?"

"Zhan'er is very good, and the Taifu is very strict with him." Hao'er thought about it and answered calmly, "He doesn't slack off in class, he is smart, and he can endure hardships in martial arts training. There is nothing unsatisfactory at present."

Xuanyuan Zhan is two months younger than Hao'er. The two are now of the same age. They are also the earliest companions to study together. They are truly nominal companions. Although they are young, they have the deepest qualifications. When they grow up, Xuanyuan Zhan will be an absolute "veteran" among all companions.

Rong Yu thought of what Xuanyuan Yao said before, and said calmly: "The King of Huainan has a young son. You should call him uncle, or uncle. He will enter the palace soon, and you have to take care of him. "

Hao'er was confused: "Take care of him?"

May I ask how old this uncle is?

"He is a few months older than Zhan'er." Rong Yu said, "According to your mother's relationship, you should call him uncle, but you have the surname of Xuanyuan royal family, Xuanyuan Hui is also royal family, you two are from the same clan, so according to royal family rules, you should call him uncle."

Hao'er said, "Then call him uncle."

Although this uncle sounds like a younger brother, the seniority cannot be messed up, and he should be called what he should be called.

But Hao'er is still young, and he would ask questions whenever he has doubts in his heart: "The King of Huainan is the father of Uncle Yao, why did he have another son after so long?"

This question...

Rong Yu was silent for a moment: "Is it strange to have two sons?"

"It's not strange to have two sons." Hao'er shook his head, "But Uncle Yao and the younger uncle are too different in age. If Uncle Yao has a child, it's almost the same now that he's two years old."

"It's precisely because he has no children that the King of Huainan wants to have another one."

Hao'er was surprised: "Uncle Yao has no children now, can't he get married and have children in the future?"

"No."

"Why?"

"He already has someone he likes." Rong Yu walked into the Dazheng Palace, and his voice was light, "That's your Uncle Jin."

Hao'er opened his mouth wide, rarely showing this stunned expression: "Can two men get married?"

"Relatively rare." Rong Yu said, "It may suffer some criticism, and it is difficult for the secular world to accept it, and the tolerance is small, but if the two have strong willpower and can withstand strange eyes and criticism, it is not impossible."

Hao'er said, "Oh", indicating that he didn't quite understand, but he could probably understand what his father meant.

No wonder Uncle Jin and Uncle Yao always come to the Dazheng Palace together, and they look so intimate, even sleeping in the same bed.

Only then did Haoer's little head understand that they were also in a "husband and wife" relationship?

After entering the bedroom, Rong Yu put Haoer down, and the little prince turned around to pay his respects to his mother, and walked to Nan Xi's side, looking at his brother sitting on Nan Xi's lap, and reached out to touch his head: "Zhan'er."

Little Zhan'er smiled at his brother and stretched out his hand for him to hold him. Although Hao'er had exercised, he was still a little young, and it was still a bit difficult to hold his brother. Zhan'er lay on him like an octopus.

Nan Xi laughed at this, and Rong Yu's mouth corners also hooked, and he ordered to the left and right: "Take the two princes to wash and go to bed."

The palace servant took the order, took little Zhan'er from Hao'er's arms, and walked towards the side hall holding Hao'er's hand.

Nan Xi looked at Rong Yu: "How is it going?"

"Hao'er has chosen three." Rong Yu sat down, took the tea that Nan Xi handed him and took a sip, "Add Xuanyuan Zhan, Xuanyuan Hui, Cen En, Rong Chen... Zhan'er can barely be counted as one, so there are eight children, which is enough for the time being."

Nan Xi nodded: "Although Zhan'er is still young, the brothers have a deep relationship. Let Hao'er, the elder brother, take care of him. In two years, send Jia Jia's child here, and Chu Nanyi's daughter..."

After a slight pause, Nan Xi smiled and said: "Sons have flourished in the past two years, but daughters have become scarce. If Qingling's daughter is really After entering the palace, do you think the boys will bully her or treat her as a treasure? "

Rong Yu said in a gentle voice: "Hao'er and his group of children are reliable and will not do anything to bully others."

"Other emperors rely on the three palaces and six courtyards to stabilize the court, and Hao'er will have these companions in the future." Nan Xi leaned on the brocade couch, her voice was a little soft, "It is a man's job to defend the country. Only when you are strong can you control your emotions, otherwise you will not be able to avoid being constrained and facing a situation where you can't help yourself."

The king of a country has times when he can't help himself, and since ancient times, it is the women trapped in the deep palace who have been more helpless.

Daughters are so delicate. They obey their fathers and brothers at home and obey the king in the palace. If they are willing to enter the palace, it's fine. They always seek wealth and glory. Even if they fail in the end, they can't blame others. The innocent are always those women who don't want to enter the palace but can't resist their fate.

Rong Yu was silent for a moment, and said: "If all the emperors of the past dynasties could have Xi'er's broad mind and temperament, there would be fewer incompetent emperors, and the civil strife caused by the monopoly of power by foreign relatives would be curbed, and the people of the world would be blessed."

Nan Xi looked at him silently: "You just like to flatter me."

"Your Majesty is very perceptive." Rong Yu laughed and stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, "What I said is absolutely the truth from the bottom of my heart."
