The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 406 Old or Young

Although King Wu and King Wei were not ashamed of Zhao Pu's behavior, Zhao Guangyi liked it very much. After Zhao Pu finished speaking, he praised Zhao Pu again and again, and then asked the ministers in the court how to choose the prince's teacher.

When Zhao Guangyi asked such a question, the ministers of the DPRK and China immediately opened up the chatterbox.

Some senior courtiers stood up and said: "I feel that when choosing teachers for the prince, we should choose those who are highly respected. They are old and well-educated. Only in this way can we better educate the prince."

Some old people who thought they were qualified enough nodded in agreement, but at this time, some rookies in the court quickly stood up and objected: "The prince is young and should be full of vigor, so I feel that young bachelors should be allowed to teach. Only in this way will the princes be able to study better."

As a result, there was a dispute between the two sides, and although it was a dispute, it also showed one thing, that is, most people in the court wanted to cater to Zhao Guangyi. The prince inherits the throne.

Although there is an alliance of the Golden Chamber, the current emperor is Zhao Guangyi. If they want to get along better in the court, they naturally have to curry favor with Zhao Guangyi.

The ministers of the DPRK and China talked a lot. Although Zhao Guangyi was happy in his heart, it was impossible if there was no result. In the end, Zhao Guangyi still set his sights on Liu Wei and Su Dong.

After seeing Zhao Guangyi's gaze, Su Tong's heart sank slightly. He is the person who understands Zhao Guangyi's thoughts best, so whoever is the teacher of those princes may become the next prince's tutor.

It stands to reason that this position is the most suitable for him, because when Zhao Guangyi was still the king of Jin, he was in charge of the education and reading of these princes, but now there is a problem that Zhao Guangyi must be worried about him He was worried that he would train the next King Jin, so although he thought it was very suitable for educating the prince, he absolutely couldn't fight for it.

As for Zhao Guangyi's troubles and difficulties, he, Su Tongkan, had to help solve them.

"Your Majesty, I feel that there is no need for the prince to have only one teacher, and it doesn't matter if there are more, for example, one old and one young, so that the education the prince receives will be more comprehensive. Bachelors are energetic, besides that, it is also necessary for us to hire some martial arts teachers for the prince, even if the prince does not have to go to war in the future, it is good to practice martial arts to exercise some body."

Everyone knew about Su Tongkan's relationship with Zhao Guangyi, and everyone knew Su Tongkan's intelligence, so after he finished speaking, those who still wanted to quarrel in the court immediately stopped arguing.

Zhao Guangyi looked at Su Tongkan and nodded. He thought Su Tongkan was right, and he also felt that Su Tongkan was a smart person who knew what to do and what not to do, but how should he choose?

He knew that Liu Wei hadn't spoken yet.

So he looked at Liu Wei again. Seeing this, Liu Wei had no choice but to stand up and said: "Master Su's words are reasonable, but I still want to make up for a few more things. The age of the prince is different, so there is a difference in learning ability. It may be inconvenient to study together, so I suggest choosing a different teacher for each prince."

As soon as Liu Wei's words came out, there was an uproar immediately.

Everyone has the same idea as Liu Wei, but this idea can't be said. Every prince has a different teacher. Isn't that providing a breeding ground for the court struggle? There is a teacher, and each teacher has his own purpose, so it is no wonder that these people do not argue.

And every struggle for power will involve bloodshed. What is Liu Wei's intention in making such a suggestion?

The courtiers were shocked, and Zhao Guangyi was also shocked. He felt that Liu Wei's suggestion was simply luring those princes to fight for imperial power.

But after thinking about it, Zhao Guangyi felt that what Liu Wei said was reasonable, and even his worries were unnecessary. Even if every prince had a common teacher, so what?Wouldn't the teacher favor a certain prince?And even if every prince has the same teacher, don't they have the desire to fight for power?

Whether the prince will compete for the throne has nothing to do with the teacher, but has something to do with the environment and their hearts.

Therefore, when the other ministers were still criticizing Liu Wei, Zhao Guangyi nodded and said: "Liu Aiqing is right, if this is the case, then give each prince three teachers, an old bachelor, a young bachelor, and a matching A martial arts instructor, whoever is interested can first recommend himself, and then pass my review and the prince's opinion, and finally make the decision."

After Zhao Guangyi said this, the officials had stopped their responsibilities to Liu Wei. Now that the emperor has said so, what's the use of their responsibilities?

For this reason, some people who wanted to be the prince's teacher stood up and expressed their opinions. Zhao Guangyi nodded slightly, and then ordered someone to record the names of these people, but he did not decide who to appoint on the spot.

Zhao Guangyi will send people to investigate these people's usual conduct and knowledge. Only after the inspection will he make a real decision. Stayed, this time is only half an hour away from noon.

Because the morning court started very early, Zhao Guangyi felt that Liu Wei and Su Tong must be hungry. Therefore, after entering the imperial study, Zhao Guangyi first ordered someone to bring them some snacks.

Although the current Song Dynasty is much richer than before, Zhao Guangyi is still like his elder brother, his style is very frugal, the food is not luxurious, but the dim sum is just right. After eating a few snacks, he turned his attention to Zhao Guangyi.

Seeing that the two of them had finished eating, Zhao Guangyi asked with a smile: "I'm afraid I will trouble you two about choosing a teacher for the prince."

Liu Wei and Su looked at each other, both a little puzzled, or pretending to be puzzled.

"What does His Majesty mean?"

"You are the people I trust the most, so I leave it to you to find a teacher for the prince, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, how dare our subjects make decisions on such a big matter, Your Majesty..." Su looked a little nervous, and he somewhat suspected that Zhao Guangyi was testing them to see if they still had the heart to help others seize the emperor. On the other hand, I feel that Zhao Guangyi is really too suspicious. Now he is already a hero who helped Zhao Guangyi ascend to the throne. Those princes are young, so why should he help those princes fight for the throne?
But just when Su Tongkan was talking and thinking like this, Liu Wei suddenly interrupted Su Tongkan's words, and hurriedly said to Zhao Guangyi: "Since the Holy Majesty trusts me so much, then my ministers should be respectful rather than obedient, we will definitely According to the order of the Holy One, select the most outstanding teacher for the princes."

What Liu Wei said sounded like flattery, but when Su looked at it, his heart sank. He wanted to remind Liu Wei, but he couldn't.
