Chapter 553: Changing Teachers
"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to ask you to change Jing'er (grandson Zhu Changjing) with a teacher." Empress Kuang said to the emperor.
"Why do you suddenly have to change teachers?" The emperor asked hurriedly.
Li He's knowledge is among the top among civil officials. But of course, what Taisun wants to learn is not only learning, but also the truth of how to behave in the world, in a sense, the latter is more important than the former.
Therefore, the emperor also attached great importance to Empress Kuang's request after listening to it.
"Back to the emperor, the concubine feels that Jing'er's current teacher is too upright and old-fashioned, and I am afraid that it will be detrimental to Jing'er's physical and mental development in the long run." Empress Kuang said.
If the teacher's personality is not harmonious, it will be difficult for the students to learn true wisdom from him.
The emperor thought for a while and said, "I have been busy with court affairs recently, but I have neglected to ask about Jing'er's affairs, do you have a suitable candidate?" ”
"The concubine thinks that Yan Yunpei, a scholar from the Cabinet University, is quite suitable." Empress Kuang was busy saying what she thought.
"He is now an important member of the cabinet and the head of the Ombudsman, where is the time to teach Jing'er?" The emperor waved his hand again and again.
However, he also admits that Yan Yunpei is the most ideal person to teach his grandson.
"How about a different person to be the 'head of the Ombudsman'? Then he will have time to teach his grandson. Empress Kuang asked cautiously.
The transfer of a hot figure like Yan Yunpei naturally has to be extremely cautious, so she doesn't dare to force it.
The emperor hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The Supervision Office is a department directly related to the selection of the future king, and this person in charge cannot be easily replaced. ”
"That'...... Can the emperor let him resign from the cabinet? ”
"That's even less so. The current members of the cabinet all have their own strengths and can cooperate with each other, and have formed the most ideal personnel structure, and if they change people, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the imperial court. Besides, there is no one more suitable for the job. ”
Empress Kuang was gloomy.
"Let's choose another one." The emperor said very simply.
Compared with the education of the grandson, the stability of the court is of course much more important.
The position of a pivotal person like Yan Yunpei must not be changed lightly, otherwise it is easy to cause turmoil in the situation and the people's hearts.
"Other people...... Queen Kuang closed her eyes and groaned.
Yan Yunpei's third son, Yan Jinrui, is a suitable candidate, but unfortunately he was already a few years ago, Queen Kuang said in her heart.
Immediately, Empress Kuang's eyes lit up. took the emperor's hand and said, "How is Yan Yunpei's eldest son, Yan Jinhao?" He is currently the left waiter of the Tobe. Although there is a lot of work on weekdays, as long as he squeezes it properly, he can still squeeze out an hour or two every day, and he is in the prime of life. Even if you are a little busy, you can eat physically. ”
The emperor immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Mmmm." That's a good idea. ”
On learning, talent and character. Yan Jinhao is above Li He.
"Then Emperor Lao will come forward to talk to him." Empress Kuang hurriedly saluted.
"Okay, I'll talk to him about it myself tomorrow." The emperor said with a smile.
"Uh-huh." Empress Kuang smiled and bowed her head.
The next day, Yan Jinhao had just gotten down the morning when he was called aside by Gonggong Zhang and said, "Lord Yan." If the emperor wants to see you, please go to the imperial study with the servants. ”
The emperor wants to summon himself? Yan Jinhao almost thought he had heard it wrong.
Although Yan Jinhao was able to see the emperor in the court in the past, it was the first time that he was summoned by the emperor himself, so he was inevitably a little surprised.
But Yan Jinhao didn't dare to think about it, and immediately followed Gonggong Zhang to the imperial study.
However, Yan Jinxuan's heart was up and down, for fear that it would be something bad.
Seeing Yan Jinhao's nervous face, Gonggong Zhang hurriedly comforted: "Lord Yan, don't worry, it's a good thing for the emperor to find you this time." ”
"Could it be that my father-in-law knows the reason for the incident?" Yan Jinhao hurriedly asked.
"I don't know the specifics, but judging from the emperor's face, it shouldn't be a bad thing." Father-in-law Zhang replied with a smile.
Of course, he will not reveal the emperor's affairs at will.
But Yan Jinhao didn't dare to be relieved at all after listening to his words.
After all, the emperor's temperament has been a little uncertain in the past few years, and he may be able to change his mind at any time.
Seeing that he was still cautious, Gonggong Zhang smiled and did not speak again.
After all, in his opinion, Yan Jinhao's cautious and restrained is still much more pleasing than Li He's arrogance and fortitude.
Yan Jinhao respectfully bowed to the emperor.
The emperor smiled and said, "Yan Aiqing is flat." ”
Only then did Yan Jinhao dare to get up and sit down in the position designated for him by the emperor.
"Yan Aiqing's performance in the household department in the past few years has been very good, and I am very relieved." The emperor said.
"Emperor Xie!" Yan Jinhao hurriedly said. He is not a person who is good at words, and he is even more stubborn in front of the emperor.
The emperor happened to admire people like him, so the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
"Yan Aiqing, I want to appoint you as Zhu Changjing's teacher, what do you think?" The emperor asked with a smile.
Yan Jinhao was taken aback.
It was beyond his imagination.
He didn't really want to be Taisun's teacher. What's more, he knew that Taisun's current teacher was Li He, who was the person the emperor had praised in front of his ministers.
"Your Majesty, the grandson seems to have a teacher, right?" Yan Jinxuan asked softly.
"I think you're better suited for this position."
The meaning couldn't be clearer.
Yan Jinhao's heart struggled slightly.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Weichen won't be able to do it."
"Yan Aiqing is too humble, and Yan Aiqing's talent is not unknown. You only need to enter the palace every afternoon to give a lecture to the grandson for an hour and a half, and it will not affect the affairs of your yamen, and the cost of this job will not be less than that of your current job (the left servant of the household department). ”
Indeed, the cost of this job is very considerable, but Yan Jinhao is a little uneasy when he thinks of Li He's upright and strong personality.
He didn't want to cause any trouble because of this.
Moreover, Yan Jinxuan had specially explained to Yan Yunpei and Yan Jinhao before he set out on the expedition - he tried to have as little contact with the people in the palace as possible in the past two years.
For the safety of the Yan family, he also thinks that it is better not to get too close to the people in the palace.
But if he refuses, he will definitely make the emperor angry.
This makes things even worse.
Compared with Li He's resentment, the emperor's anger was obviously much more serious.
Yan Jinhao thought about it, and finally decided that it was better to obey than to be respectful - he took over the task of lecturing to his grandson.
The emperor was overjoyed, and rewarded Yan Jinhao with one hundred taels of silver and ten horses of silk on the spot, and said: "If you teach well, I will hand over the children of the third, fourth, and fifth princes to you in the future." ”
Yan Jinhao hurriedly thanked him.
"Then you will enter the palace from tomorrow afternoon to give a lecture to the grandson." The emperor said.
"Yes." Yan Jinhao nodded hurriedly.
Yan Jinhao suddenly thought of something again, looked at the emperor and asked in a low voice: "Then how does the emperor plan to arrange the original teacher of the grandson?" ”
"Transferred to the Hanlin Academy for the history of the editor." The emperor said. (To be continued.) )
