In the upper study.

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou scolded the cabinet and several important ministers of the six ministries, so he continued to come back to his senses and talk to the sons in front of him.

"You've all seen it. Those who are incompetent do not deserve to be in high positions. This is true of courtiers, and even more so of princes. ”

Xiao Yunzhou's gaze skimmed over his sons one by one.

"Even if I give you the seat today, tomorrow if you don't have it, I will take it back."

As he spoke, he sat back on the dragon chair behind the desk, holding his daughter Chu Chu in his arms and not letting go.

Xiao Chuchu moved the little arm that was pressed by him uncomfortably, but when she heard this, her big eyes were shining.

[Yes, the emperor's father is right. 】

[We should not only look at today, but also look at the long term. 】

[Innate intelligence, although it has a certain impact on achievements when you grow up.] But now, even if the eldest prince is a minor, he can still improve some of his thinking level by studying hard. 】

Xiao Chuchu has heard in modern times about the importance of children's enlightenment to intellectual development.

It can be seen that intelligence is not fixed, but can be improved.

[Think about it, it seems that allowing children to be exposed to new things and enhancing their hands-on ability can make children smarter. 】

Xiao Chuchu's heart was full of thoughts.

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou suddenly concentrated and pricked up his ears.

Especially looking at the four princes whose intelligence is currently inferior to the eunuchs serving tea, and the three princes who are not as good as Wei Zheng, it is an anxiety.

Including the five princes of Chengqian, who are preparing to pass on the throne, they are just like his father, with an intelligence of eighty-eight.

There are talented people from generation to generation.

Although Emperor Xiao Yunzhou is suspicious, he still hopes that the emperor who will succeed him in the next generation will be stronger than himself.

In this way, Jingguo will become more and more prosperous.

"The son respectfully listens to his father's teachings," the eldest prince took the lead in expressing his position in front of the emperor, "and the son will not slack off in the future." The books taught by the master in the study room were read by his son a hundred and fifty times. ”

This is what the queen taught.

Xiao Yunzhou nodded. Not to mention anything else, the queen's father still has a set of teaching children, and has taught a lot of jinshi.

At this point, he is relieved of the queen's family.

Looking at the eldest prince now, his intelligence is indeed not low.

This is what the girl said about the intellectual improvement brought about by acquired education?

Xiao Yunzhou was relieved, and was about to speak, asking the other princes, especially the fifth prince Cheng Qian, whom he had high hopes for, to also learn from the eldest prince, but the next moment he paused.

Because Xiao Chuchu in his arms heard the words of the eldest prince, he made a sigh and twisted restlessly in his arms.

[Read 150 times, a text?] I'll go for it, how many things do I have to learn? 】

Xiao Chuchu glared.

[Exam-oriented education is unacceptable, let's ensure enough sleep. 】

Xiao Chu Chu tsk sympathized with the eldest prince in his heart.

Xiao Chuchu tried his best to hold up his little head in the emperor's arms, [Since the emperor's father, he has been forced by a group of Confucians in the study, and every day at three o'clock in the morning, he gets up to read at Yin Shi and reads until seven o'clock in the evening. 】

[Premature life! No wonder the emperor's father is well-read, his intelligence is not ninety, and the emperor's father may be smarter, but he sleeps too little, his brain is not rested enough, and his development is not complete! 】

Xiao Yunzhou was dumbfounded.

What?

And this kind of thing?

I could have been smarter?

All of them were damaged by those pedantic Confucians?

[Oh, now my brother also has a schedule with the emperor's father when he was a child? No, I have to combine work and rest, my primary school students still have three months of winter and summer vacation every year, and they can ensure eight hours and four hours of sleep. 】

Xiao Yunzhou was so shocked that he forgot to speak.

The work and rest of the students in the fairy world are so relaxed?

You know, he was made a prince when he was a child, and he only had six days off a year!

Only on the first emperor's birthday, the first day of the first month, the Dragon Boat Festival and his own birthday can he rest for a day or two.

In addition, every day is from the dawn of the day to the end of the night.

Compared to the fairy world, this is too much worse, right?

What are the winter and summer vacations?

[In addition to resting, it is also necessary to supplement enough walnuts, eggs and dairy products, and have a balanced meal to give the brain adequate nutrition. 】

Xiao Chuchu thought about it, she was sad, for fear that when she grew up in the future, she would also have such a devil's learning course.

Then she is not happy!

[Therefore, the ancients were short-lived, and this is really learning from death. 】

Xiao Yunzhou gasped.

looked at the sons again, especially the eldest prince who said that he wanted to learn from the dead, and his face suddenly turned unkind.

"Cheng Yuan, that's not how books read."

The Emperor now felt that what Xiao Gege said must have made sense.

She is the words of the fairy family, and she knows everything in the future!

How could the method of the fairy world be wrong?

"Ahem, from now on, you will go to the study every hour."

"You can't read a book to death, you have to understand it, what is a stupid way to read it a hundred and fifty times at a time? No, it doesn't. ”

Xiao Yunzhou looked at his eldest son earnestly, and soon moved his gaze to the fifth prince Cheng Qian.

"You're going to have to sleep four hours a day, you know?"

Several princes were taken aback.

Only the fifth prince Cheng Qian lowered his head and held back the twitching of the corners of his mouth.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yunzhou changed the reading routine of the prince in the study, and immediately ordered the dining room to prepare eggs and goat's milk.

"In the future, two eggs per person and two bowls of goat's milk will not be left behind."

Especially the third prince and the fourth prince, who did not have enough intellectual development, received the key care of Xiao Yunzhou.

"Cheng Qing, Cheng Ming, drink half a bowl more. These are good for your brains. ”

The third prince and the fourth prince: "??? ”

They looked confused.

What do you mean?

In the eyes of my father, how stupid they were! Something that nourishes the brain, they want to drink half a bowl more?

The eldest prince was even more frightened, "Father, the queen mother said that the plan of the day lies in the morning, how can we get up so late to study?" ”

The Emperor stretched out his hand to stop him from arguing further.

Faintly, his handsome face also revealed a little displeasure, "I am your father, is it possible that I will harm you?" ”

The more Xiao Yunzhou thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, he, the emperor, was originally able to reach more than ninety according to his daughter's intelligence.

As a result, he was not raised.

The masters who went to the study back then included the old Fuchage, and the queen's father Tong Lao, who went home to recuperate.

He doesn't blame them now, these two are already going to burn high incense!

Xiao Yunzhou shook his head, "Okay, you sit for a while, eat the eggs and goat's milk here before leaving." ”

"I'm just right, take a look at what you've written."

The eldest prince held back and did not refute.

The second prince bowed his head silently, and his sense of presence was the lowest.

The four princes are so happy that they can't do it, and they will have less time to study in the future!

Xiao Yunzhou saw their reactions one by one.

The fifth prince Cheng Qian stood still, but he was extremely outstanding.

He didn't question or wonder, but nodded in agreement.

When the goat's milk came up, he was the first to get up, "Thank you for the reward from my father." ”

"My son was studying, and he also saw the saying, and he slept soundly, and his face was red and full of energy. The son thanked his father for his compassion, and in the future, he obeyed his father's instructions and got up again an hour later. ”

Cheng Qian said, and poured all the goat's milk in one go, as if this was an excellent tonic.

Xiao Yunzhou nodded again and again with satisfaction.

Compared with other sons' doubts, blind obedience or opposition to him, Cheng Qian is not only refreshing, but also reads books by himself, which can prove that his father is right.

This also shows that Cheng Qian is young but wise.

He was very satisfied.

Xiao Yunzhou praised from the bottom of his heart, and looked down at the articles of the princes on the table.

The eldest prince made an article that cultivation should not be taken lightly, which can be regarded as a timely situation.

The articles of the second, third, and fourth princes are decent and mediocre.

Then there is a plague theory of the Five Princes.

"Since ancient times, floods have displaced people, and there have been many plagues."

"The urgent task now is to study how to deal with the plague."

Xiao Yunzhou looked at the words of the fifth prince Cheng Qian, and raised his eyebrows.

Pan Ji, who he sent out to control the water, just came back a few days ago, saying that he was preparing to divert the river and remove siltation.

But how effective it is, the palace has not yet received news.

Xiao Yunzhou has been a little anxious in the past few days.

Now the river has not been resolved, the displaced people are still settled, and the plague still has to be dealt with?

Xiao Yunzhou couldn't help sighing, and looked up at Cheng Qian.

He had also read history books and knew that there was truth to this statement.

The fifth son is really the smartest as Xiao Gege said, but in the end, he is young and too young!

Sometimes, it's not that he, the emperor, is unwilling to prepare in advance.

But since ancient times, there is no good way to deal with the plague!

There are countless plague deaths in history, what can be done?

Let him, the emperor, let Jingguo prepare for what?

Xiao Yunzhou smiled bitterly in his heart.

Just as he was about to praise the fifth prince Cheng Qian, he put down the article and listened to his daughter.

[My brother is amazing, I forgot about this big thing! ] 】

[In a few days, the news of the plague will reach the capital! 】

Xiao Yunzhou opened his mouth.

[This plague will last for half a year, with nearly 100,000 casualties and a one-fifth drop in Jingguo's national strength! 】

[Pills, now it's hard to recover millions of stolen silver, kill a third-grade corrupt official, and Jingguo's national strength will rise by 0.5. 】

[This plague will soon drop the national strength by eight points, help! ] Three times five divided by two, our Jingguo's national strength is about to fall off the twenty national cordon! 】

Xiao Yunzhou was dumbfounded.

Xiao Chuchu in his arms was also anxious, [Wow, the "Plague Prescription" I drew last time is just right to use, oops, how can I tell the emperor's father and brother. 】

[Hateful, when will I be able to speak~]

Xiao Yunzhou: "......"

He watched his daughter twist her little arm in his arms in a hurry, his eyes lit up, and his heart was soft.

Silly boy, what you say, my father can hear it!

Xiao Yunzhou pricked up his ears and began to eavesdrop.

"Come on, reward the five princes for their meritorious advice!"

"Immediately declare the Imperial Doctor and study a cure for the plague!"
