Chapter 1104 The Royal Family
The news that the queen gave birth to a prince spread throughout the court, and soon spread throughout the capital, and everyone knew about it.

The emperor Longyan was very happy, and he rewarded the people of Kunning Palace, the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital, the two elders of the cabinet and other clerks. Basically, everyone who could be touched by the emperor was rewarded, and there were quite a lot of rewards. , at least five taels of silver.

The emperor usually lived a simple life, but when he was happy, he spent money unambiguously.

It is an absolute joy that the empress gave birth to a dragon son. All civil and military officials in the court knew the deep love between the emperor and the empress, so they hurriedly prepared gifts and entrusted someone to send them to the palace for the empress.

Although the emperor personally raised the prince and announced to the world that the prince's status is unshakable, the birth of the prince is a happy event no matter what. This indicates that even if something happens to the prince, the emperor will not have no successors.

Although the emperor has not been drafted or accepted the concubine so far, the officials are very dissatisfied, but now the empress gave birth to the dragon son, it is the time to be happy, and it is not the time for them to speak up.

Xiao Ruxun didn't have time to care about how the officials prepared and gave gifts. He was now accompanying Caiyun who had just given birth, while the Taishanghuang father was holding his youngest son with his family, racking his brains to name the child.

Knowing that Caiyun gave birth to a child, the three elder brothers and three sister-in-laws also came to the palace to celebrate together. The Xiao royal family is currently sparsely populated, and it is a good thing to have one more child. They also brought gifts to the palace for Xiao Ruxun. congratulate.

Then think about the name of the child together.

Everyone is scrambling to give this little prince a name, but right now Xiao Wenkui is the biggest emperor, and he has the right to name the child. If he doesn't like it, he absolutely can't do it. Many suggestions have been rejected. up.

Xiao Ruxun held Caiyun's hand to comfort her, let her take good care of her body and confinement, and mended her body, and ordered the imperial hospital to use the best and most expensive medicinal materials to mend the queen's body, at all costs, even if it was dragon liver and phoenix. Marrow, as long as there is need, it must be obtained.

The Tai Hospital obeyed the emperor's will.

Caiyun had just given birth, she was weak and exhausted, she fell asleep within a short while, Xiao Ruxun covered her with a quilt, ordered the maid to take good care of her, and left her room, intending to see how the baby was named.

Walking out of the room, after walking a few steps, he saw his elder brother Xiao Rulan standing not far away looking at him with a smile on his face.

"I pay respects to Your Majesty."

Xiao Rulan didn't wait for Xiao Ruxun to approach, and took the initiative to salute, Xiao Ruxun quickly stepped forward to support Xiao Rulan.

"Brother, you and I are brothers, follow the etiquette in front of others, and don't have many taboos in private."

"This... ok!"

Xiao Rulan nodded with a smile, and said, "Ji Xin, I really want to congratulate you this time. Caiyun gave birth to a son again. Can you let go of your heart now?"

Xiao Ruxun smiled wryly and shook his head: "Let's put it down, raising children is more tiring than dealing with state affairs. I raised Zhenbang myself in the past few months, and only then did I understand why the ancients said that only by raising children can we know the kindness of our parents. My parents raised us four brothers. How difficult it is, now, I have a personal experience."

Xiao Rulan also agreed, and nodded with a sigh.

"Yeah, it's really not easy to raise a child. Zhenyuan has been stubborn since he was a child, and he likes everything, but he doesn't like reading. No, the teachers in the academy gave him very rude comments, saying that he can't calm down, and his studies will be worrying in the future. On the other hand, Zhenyuan has a calm personality, but he can read at a young age, and my husband likes him very much."

The Royal Academy has already started teaching, and all eight children of the appropriate age from the Xiao royal family have gone to study. Four boys and four girls are the children of Xiao Ruxun's three older brothers.

Originally, they didn't plan to let their daughters go to school, but Xiao Ruxun strongly advocated that girls should also study well, otherwise they would not be able to teach good offspring. Because of Xiao Ruxun's insistence, the four girls also went to study.

Now that they are young and still have plasticity, under the elite education, there may be a few capable people in the future.

After a while, Xiao Ruxun plans to send Zhenbang and Yingying to study with his brothers and sisters to experience normal study and life. Now he can take a little bit with him, control him, and teach him some necessary precepts and deeds.

"All the scholars invited to the Royal Academy are very knowledgeable scholars from the court. After a while, I will call Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci to teach the children some Western knowledge and let the children learn some Western knowledge. The knowledge of learning from things.”

Xiao Ruxun is very concerned about the education of the royal family. Although limited by the actual conditions, he must limit the way out of the royal family, but no matter what, it is better than raising them like pigs.

In the past dynasties, there were few examples of great appointments to the royal family. Most of them treated the royal family as pigs and raised them in captivity.

In order not to compete with the people for profit, nor to give the royal family the opportunity to develop and threaten the royal family, this is something that must be done politically.

The Song royal family and the Ming royal family are a good example of this, and the Qing royal family is similar to the banner people, but anyone who threatens the succession of the throne must be restricted or even kept in captivity.

Xiao Ruxun had made it clear to his elder brothers that he also had the same worries.

Not worried about the royal family itself, but worried about the instigation of people with ulterior motives, causing civil strife in the royal family.

So no matter what, control it from the source, and never threaten the royal inheritance.

It's just that he can't accept the arrangement of the Song and Ming royal families for the royal family, so that the royal family will be raised as pigs without doing anything, become parasites of the country, and become scum in people's eyes.

Similarly, Xiao Ruxun cannot accept that the royal families of other dynasties did not grasp the source from the source and gave them independent power, so that they were used by some ambitious people, or they became ambitious themselves, which led to the crisis of fighting for the throne at any time.

That is to say, the Song royal family had strict supervision and strict restrictions, so nothing like this happened. The Ming Dynasty was so strict, and there were still two rebellious princes, and one succeeded.

So watching and restraining her is the best way Xiao Ruxun can think of.

In matters of literature, art and science, you can do it casually, and you will be rewarded if you do it well. This science is the first indicator to promote the development of productivity. Great contribution, that's great too.

But when it comes to politics, military and economy, I'm sorry, that's something only the royal family can do.

By doing so, the royal family has been given the opportunity to the greatest extent. There is no use for raising the royal family to raise pigs like the Song and Ming royal families, except for wasting state funds. Good arrangement.

In the Xiao royal family, even if only one tenth of them can do practical things, and the other nine tenths are mediocre, that is far more than that of other royal families in all dynasties.

Regarding this point, Xiao Ruxun was worried that the three elder brothers still had grievances in their hearts, so he asked the Supreme Emperor to enlighten them, and they all gradually accepted Xiao Ruxun's arrangements for the royal family, and no longer had any objections.
