Emperor Hongwen was holding a dish with chopsticks, but the dish fell back onto the plate.
Yesterday, he agreed to the Xianbei nobles that he would let King Dongyang or King Jingzhao be the crown prince. But because he was worried about Fang Fei's feelings, he never brought it up. Who would have thought that he was so slow, but Fang Fei brought it up first.
.
Moreover, Fang Fei's tone now was not that of a discussion, but that the matter had been decided and she was just announcing it to him.
"Your Majesty, I will leave you to worry about the future. I can only focus on taking care of Hong'er's daily life and food. As for Hong'er's cultivation, talents and education, I believe that Li Yi will be able to do it!"
Since he was not willing to interfere, Fang Fei believed that this was the best way to raise a good son without losing his original responsibility.
Emperor Hongwen was confused for a moment and didn't know how to answer. After a while, he tried to say: "Maybe Li Yi is not the best candidate."
"Why?"
He suddenly felt confident and said patiently: "Hong'er should let those respected Xianbei veterans be responsible for his upbringing, so that he can truly consolidate his position and expand his power... Li Yi, he is simply not qualified to take on such a big responsibility. His qualifications are...
Prestige is simply not enough..."
Fangfei couldn't believe it.
Let those stubborn old Xianbei nobles teach their sons?
In her bones, all she has accepted are Confucian theories and education. However, those old Xianbei nobles are rough and uncivilized. They are not good at anything except fighting. It is possible for the monarch of a country to conquer the world immediately, but how can he rule the world immediately?
?
By the time of Emperor Hongwen, the political situation in the Northern Kingdom was no longer focused on war. The most fundamental focus was on reform and strengthening, consolidating the existing territory, and then expanding it to achieve great results.
If it were handed over to those short-sighted Xianbei nobles, what kind of person would their son be raised to be?
Besides, you don’t have to interfere in political affairs, but don’t you have the right to choose the best path for your son?
She flatly refused: "No! Your Majesty, Hong'er will never give an education to the Xianbei nobles. I can rely on you for other things, but this is absolutely not allowed!"
Emperor Hongwen had never seen her with such a tough attitude, and he was annoyed for a moment: "Hong'er is the crown prince of the Xianbei people after all! If the Xianbei people don't support him, what will happen to his future?"
