Two days later, Emperor Hongwen announced his recovery and began to deal with political affairs.
On the first day after returning to Pingcheng, another edict was issued, conferring the title of emperor and crown prince on the young prince. At the same time, King Jingzhao, the crown prince's tutor, was given another important position, and Li Chong, a capable minister recommended by the Empress Dowager Feng, was appointed as the prince's tutor.
As soon as the edict came out, everyone was in an uproar.
It is enough that Li Chong takes over as the Crown Prince and Tutor.
Emperor and crown prince - this outrageous word shocked everyone. This was a new term that had never been used before. In other words, Emperor Hongwen had treated his son completely as a prince on the basis of the title of prince.
More than half an emperor!
That’s why he’s called the Emperor and Prince!
As long as you live, you will never be allowed to abolish it again.
When the news came, Empress Dowager Feng was teaching her children to read in Cining Palace, and the person delivering the message was Emperor Hongwen himself.
I went in quietly without letting anyone know.
When Hong'er saw his father coming to Cining Palace again, he was all smiles. He had not seen his father like this for a long time. He was so happy that he immediately jumped up: "Father, father..."
He reached out and hugged him, not even caring about his hands that were stained with ink.
He was always different from other children, his strong feelings didn't even change because he had scolded him.
Emperor Hongwen hugged his son tightly, his mood was so relaxed and joyful, as if a powerful bitterness and joy were intertwined in his chest, ready to explode.
He saw his son writing with a brush, his face stained with ink, looking very funny. He hugged him, gently wiped the ink on his forehead, and said softly: "Hong'er, what did you write today?"
"Father, do you think Hong'er's writing is good?"
"Okay, that's great."
He looked carefully and praised his son. When he saw his little face was full of joy and pride, he gave him the imperial edict: "Hong'er, look, what is this?"
Hong'er picked up the imperial edict and read it word by word. After reading it, he raised his head and said with surprise and joy: "Father, don't you want to give up the old tutor?"
"Yes. As Li Chong becomes the Tutor, his lectures will be more interesting. Hong'er will definitely like it."
