Chapter 204 Pruning
Chapter 204 Pruning
Zhang Deli opened his mouth several times beside Qin Zhi, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.
Qin Zhi leisurely stepped down from the dragon chariot and ignored Zhang Deli who was still struggling psychologically.
It was nothing more than whether his behavior of asking Princess Qin Mingyue of Hengshan to discipline the fifth prince Qin Mingzhang this morning was inappropriate? Probably not.
His attitude of indulgence and pampering towards the princes and princesses in all matters other than their studies was even more inappropriate. However, as long as they did not cross Qin Zhi's bottom line, such as committing treasonous acts such as harming the people and betraying Dayong, Qin Zhi did not want to interfere.
The more densely the branches grow, the easier it will be to choose a more preferred and suitable pattern for pruning.
If there are a few straight branches, how should you prune them?
He suppressed the people inside and outside the court, and watched them live under high pressure for decades.
If he is not given a chance to be released, he will become depressed. Qin Zhi still feels sorry for his capable court officials...right?
distressed?
It’s fake. Life goes on and struggles never stop. You can’t just lie down and relax.
If he is not nicer to the royal heirs and be a "good father", instead of suppressing them and making them lose their courage and dare not and are unwilling to fight, how can the stage for the fight for the throne be set up?
Just thinking about it will make you lose hope for the next generation. Only the winner is worthy of taking over his throne.
As for where his bottom line is that he has never said, it is up to his smart children to figure it out on their own. At worst, they should be more obedient. When their brothers and sisters cross the line, won’t they know it then?
If the heir to the throne is stupid, he should be kicked out as soon as possible. The country belongs to the capable. The incompetent can only kneel at the feet of their brothers and accept the fate of being dominated.
Qin Zhi's dragon chariot stopped in the imperial garden, beside the green plum tree. Qin Zhi looked at the bare branches and said:
"Come here, move these green plum trees to the Jade Hall, and dig up all the other trees in the Jade Hall. Plum blossoms are solitary and green plum blossoms are even more so. Since Concubine Zhi and the Fifth Prince like them, only green plum blossoms will be planted in the Jade Hall from now on. Ask Lin Heng's office to cultivate more green plum blossoms next year and plant them all in the Jade Hall."
"Your Majesty, if we move the trees in this cold winter, I'm afraid they will not survive!" Zhang Deli said.
"If it can't live, then don't live. Life and death depends on its own destiny. If it survives by chance, that's the best.
This further proves that this green plum is tenacious. I will definitely give it the title of 'Plum Fairy' so that it can enjoy the sacrifices of the palace ladies in the Jade Hall in the future."
Zhang Deli frowned, not knowing whether His Majesty was joking or serious.
For a moment he wished that all five green plum trees would die. It would be numb.
"I see that you intend to hurt my Meixian. Go away, you are so listless and depressed. I will give you a day off tomorrow and let you go back and have a good rest. Now I will go to the Jade Hall."
"I am wronged, I obey your order."
Qin Zhi swiftly shook off the snow and sand on his cloak and turned to get on the dragon chariot.
The fifth prince, Qin Mingzhang, has a somewhat eccentric temperament. He doesn't take anyone seriously except himself, but as long as someone is not an uneducated, stupid and dissolute person, he is a good son.
Next year, the fifth prince Qin Mingzhang will be five years old, and it is time for him to go to school in the imperial palace. I think Fu Mengli will not be reluctant to let him go.
Concubine Zhi was always aloof and quiet. She only went out a few times when the fifth prince Qin Mingzhang was two or three years old and when the queen was pregnant with her second child. She took Qin Mingzhang to the Pepper Palace to play with the second princess, Princess Hengshan Qin Mingyue, who was born on the same day and month as the fifth prince. After the queen Shen Ningyue gave birth to the third princess, Princess Zhaode, she stopped going again.
Unlike other concubines, she would not usually make an appointment to take care of the children together and let the brothers get along together.
Therefore, Mingzhang always played in the Yutang Palace by himself. No wonder he was arrogant. He never got along with his brothers. The ones who played with him were all slaves. As a prince, he was naturally superior.
