"Grandpa, don't worry. My son will not embarrass me. Master Yan once said that people like my son must rely on others to do things and should not do it themselves.
Grandpa chooses some talented people to surround his son, so how can his son suffer? Grandpa, don’t you think so?"
After hearing what his nine-year-old son said, Li Po couldn't help but laugh. The way he walked sounded familiar, wasn't he talking about that guy in Yuen Long?
But before Li Po could do anything, Li Bi was already annoyed. He was looking around, probably looking for someone who could take advantage of him, so that his ignorant, nonsense son could have a meal of fried pork with bamboo whip first.
Li Po calmed down. What his son said was actually a legitimate request. Even if he didn't mention it himself, Li Po and Li Bi, as parents, would have to send some reliable people to serve him.
Even if the trend of the world dictates that, no one would trust a nine-year-old child to go out and start a family and live a single life. It is natural for him to be supported.
Li Po also has his own plans for his son's future, but his son is too young now to implement them.
Li Po glanced at his angry wife, squeezed out a smile and said, "As expected of my son, he has a lot of ambitions. He is not a big man, but he seems to have a lot of ability in ordering people around."
Li Yuan accompanied him, looking at his mother with something wrong in his eyes. He felt a little scared in his heart. He seemed to be right. There were so many people inside and outside the palace, why wouldn't he be allowed to use it?
Li Po turned around and asked, "What do you want to do when you go away for a break? Well, I'll give you some time to think about it. I'm not in a hurry."
Children are the debts of their parents. This is true at all. Even if Li Po doesn't care about his children, he will not neglect what he should do.
Speaking more broadly, Li Yuan was his son, and the eldest son. He would be the first candidate to inherit the family business in the future. Whether he lived well in his later years would mostly depend on this son.
Speaking more broadly, Li Yuan, as the eldest son of the emperor, will inherit the throne and take charge of the government in the future. This is the time when he is gradually getting involved in affairs, and the next few years will be very critical.
Whether he can take over the heavy responsibility can actually be seen by the time he is fifteen or sixteen years old. By the time he is in his twenties or thirties, Li Po will have entered his twilight years. Will he pass his position to his son?
It depends on what achievements Li Yuan has made over the years.
Changes in the middle are bound to happen. Those who can smoothly take over the imperial power have been in the minority since ancient times. Everyone has to go through a lot of training before they can succeed.
Now he is afraid that his son is too young and suddenly thinks that I want to be the prince... That's not impossible, but the position of prince is not that easy.
Once the crown prince is appointed, there will be no way out. Li Yuan will have to shoulder the responsibilities of the crown prince, and the people around him who will assist him will be appointed in strict accordance with the procedures for establishing a crown prince.
Li Yuan couldn't bear it or not and said that some things in Li Po's plan could not be done. Raising a prince and raising a son are completely different things.
This is not to say that Li Po does not want to make his eldest son the crown prince, but that he feels that the time has not come yet, and he does not want to put too much pressure on his son who is just nine years old.
Li Yuan naturally found it difficult to understand his father's painstaking efforts. In fact, he had not thought about what to do after leaving the palace. He had to discuss it with the people around him after returning.
…………
In a few words, Li Yuan's departure from the palace was settled.
Li Po no longer said anything serious to his son. Nine years old was still too young, and his mind was far from mature. Even if the eldest son of the emperor received the most elite education in the world, he would not be able to violate the laws of nature.
Li Yuan's ability to exchange a few words with his father was already his limit. Other examinations were in vain, so it would be better to listen to Yan Shigu and others' opinions and impressions of the prince.
So next, Li Po asked about his son's studies. He didn't have much hope in this area. Li Yuan had always been like that since he was a child. He didn't pay much attention to his studies, and when it came to playing, he could compete with others.
Li Po would not draw any conclusions on this. Children, few are not playful, and the achievements of playful children in the future may be much higher than those of honest and honest children.
Because Li Yuan was about to leave the palace and live there, the couple talked to him a little more. In fact, Li Po didn't have much to say to him, but Li Bi didn't feel at ease.
Especially her son's daily life, she, as a mother, would not care about it. She pulled her son aside and nagged her for a while. Li Yuan had already become skinny. He nodded repeatedly in front of his mother, only to reassure his mother and not reveal anything.
impatient.
He knew that if he dared to deal with his mother-in-law at this moment, there would definitely be a beating waiting for him later.
As for leaving the palace, he didn't have much thoughts about the sky and the sea. He was not allowed to go in and out of the palace, and he would go out to play with a few of his playmates every now and then.
Especially when I go out with my aunt, there are more places to have fun.
Therefore, whether he leaves the palace or not does not make much difference to him, and leaving the palace is his own life. He is still a little confused and at a loss, and he is not sure what this means to him.
After Li Yuan resigned and went out, the couple drank tea. Li Po waited until Li Bi's mood gradually calmed down, then smiled and said: "You said you are the same, keep your son in the palace. If you want him to go out, wait until the time comes."
When he is about to leave the palace, you are reluctant to leave him, and there is really nothing I can say to you."
Li Bi had no interest in competing with her husband at this time, but said with some sadness: "Isn't this what parents are like? You men are so hard-hearted that you don't care whether your son is around or not.
How can we women compare? Sometimes I think that it would be nice if the two brothers could be in peace and not have people to worry about.
But then I thought again, they are princes after all, and my husband has created such a great foundation. If they are incompetent, let alone you as a father, even I will be angry to death by them."
Li Po nodded in agreement. If his son didn't live up to expectations, why would he blame them?
But he was comforting his wife, "You don't have to think too much now. My son is still young and needs experience. He left the palace at the age of nine and established a career at the age of fifteen.
We don't have to worry, let's wait for him for a few years and see if there are no surprises. Don't worry, the throne will definitely belong to him. It is a good thing to establish a direct heir and an eldest son. It will save both us and him."
That being said, how can Li Bi feel relieved?
"My son is still young, so you have to bear the responsibility if he does something wrong. Don't annoy him at every turn. My son is kind-hearted and will not deliberately annoy you, his father."
Li Po was dissatisfied, "Look at what you said, as if he is not my son. I can still be cruel to my son. The most I can do is punish him to copy the Filial Piety Classic a few times, or let him go out to suffer a little."
That’s all.”
