Chapter 786 Taifu
"It's definitely no good for you to be so polite!" Li Jie immediately smiled when he heard Zhu Yunxi's words. He knew the other party so well. Suddenly, he had some intentions when he talked to him so politely.
Sure enough, Zhu Yunxiu also smiled slightly and said, "In fact, it's not a big deal. Wenqi is not young anymore and is at the age of enrollment. I want to make him the crown prince and find him a grand tutor to teach him. After thinking about it, only brother-in-law, you are the most suitable position as a grand tutor."
When Li Jie heard that Zhu Yunxi was going to make him the Grand Tutor, he was stunned. Zhu Wenqi, the son of Zhu Yunxi and Empress Fan, was also his eldest son. Before, Zhu Yunxi ascended the throne in a hurry, so he didn't have time to become a crown prince. However, Zhu Wenqi should be the crown prince from any aspect, and now Zhu Yunxi is finally going to be officially enthroned.
"I'll be this tutor..." Li Jie suddenly hesitated at this time. Although he was known as erudite, he knew his own affairs and had only taken the word "Bo" in terms of talent. If he really wanted to learn from the real talent, he might not be as good as some old men in the Academy of Quezhen.
"Brother-in-law, I grew up with you before I was a grown-up. It was from your words and deeds that I learned a lot. It is precisely because of this that I was able to get to my current position. So I hope you can teach Wen Qi as you taught me at the time!"
Zhu Yunxiu finally showed a solemn expression. After careful consideration, he finally decided to hand over the heavy responsibility of the Taifu to Li Jie, because only when Li Jie taught his son could he feel at ease.
Seeing Zhu Yunxi's expression, Li Jie thought for a moment again, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, since Your Majesty believes in me, then I will take on this important task, but I also have a request!"
"You can just mention anything you ask for, brother-in-law!" Zhu Yunxiu said happily when he saw Li Jie agreeing.
"It's not a requirement. It's just that I think I can take Wenqi out of the palace like I did before. After all, as the crown prince of a country and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, it's not enough to just be locked in the palace gate. He must let him contact the sufferings of the people and broaden his horizons. Only in this way can he grow into a qualified emperor!" Li Jie also showed a solemn expression when he spoke at the end.
Zhu Yunxiu also agreed with this: "This suggestion is good, so why not set rules. In the future, all the crown princes of my Ming Dynasty must study outside and not be stuck in the palace!"
"Okay!" Li Jie also slapped the table when he heard this. "When Emperor Taizu, he asked the late emperor and the King of Yan and others to study abroad, and even asked them to march outside the city, which would increase their knowledge and enhance their physique. Why not study it and form a regular system for this method, and do not have to stick to the crown prince. Other princes should also train them according to this common practice, so as not to become people who are not divided into grains and do not diligent in the four bodies!"
"That's it! I'll say that brother-in-law, you are the most suitable for the position of Grand Tutor. I just took office and helped me solve a big problem!" Zhu Yunxiu said excitedly again.
Li Jie laughed when he heard this, and then Zhu Yunxi asked someone to call Zhu Wenqi. After a while, Zhu Wenqi, who was just eight years old this year, walked in quickly. He saluted Zhu Yunxi, and then Li Jie saluted: "Greetings to my uncle!"
"Wenqi, you have to be polite!" Li Jie looked at Zhu Wenqi and smiled.
He and Zhu Wenqi are also very familiar with him. Sometimes when Zhu Yuning enters the palace, he will take Zhu Wenqi to the mansion to live for a few days and be with Li Jie's son Maruko. The two little guys have the best relationship. Although Zhu Wenqi looks like a good baby now, when he arrives at Li Jie's mansion, he is like having fun and is more courageous than anyone else.
"Wenqi, for your father, you are willing to let your uncle be your teacher?" Zhu Yunsheng asked his eldest son with a smile.
"Really!" Zhu Wenqi looked surprised when he heard this, but then he felt that he was a little out of control, so he hurriedly restrained his expression and said, "My uncle is knowledgeable and talented, and my son is not willing to ask for it!"
Seeing Zhu Wenqi, who was obviously a erratic, pretending to be stern in front of Zhu Yunxi, Li Jie couldn't help but smile. However, there was nothing he could do about this. Zhu Wenqi, as Zhu Yunxi's eldest son, had received strict court education since he was a child, and had specialized teachings from every word and deed, and there must be no rudeness.
Zhu Yunxiu actually knew that his son was unrestrained, but he did not blame him. After all, he grew up in the palace, so he naturally knew that his son had too many constraints, so he chose Li Jie as the tutor, and actually wanted his son to live a more free life. After all, Li Jie would not teach his son in a stern manner.
"Since you agree, then you will prepare tomorrow. I will send someone to take you to your uncle's house to study. At that time, everything must be followed by your uncle's arrangements. If you dare to disobey, be careful I will beat you!" Zhu Yunxiu glared at the end of his speech.
"I want to leave the palace?" Zhu Wenqi widened his eyes when he heard this, with an expression of disbelief. He thought it would be great to learn from his uncle Li Jie, but he didn't expect that he could leave the palace. This was simply a pie falling from the sky!
"Wenqi, don't be too happy too early. I will take you out of the palace to focus on learning. You may also ask you to do some things at that time. If you don't do it well, you will be punished!" Li Jie also smiled and said.
"No problem, I will definitely work hard!" Zhu Wenqi said with an ecstatic look. He was almost doubting whether he was dreaming, otherwise how could such good things fall on him?
Looking at Zhu Wenqi's excited appearance, Zhu Yunxiu was also a little moved. He thought that when he first studied with Li Jie, he was as excited as Zhu Wenqi. After leaving the palace, he felt everything fresh. It was the days when he left the palace that completely changed his character and his destiny. Otherwise, with his cowardly self, he would probably not be able to take the throne.
However, after being excited, Zhu Wenqi suddenly turned his eyes and said again: "Uncle, when I was studying with you, can I bring Brother Chonghe with me? I am too bored to study by myself. With Brother Chonghe, I will definitely study harder!"
Chonghe is the eldest son of Li Jie and Zhu Yuning, the nickname Maruko. Originally, Lao Zhu wanted to give him the name Shuangxi, but later Zhu Biao changed it to Chonghe with similar intentions. He was a few years older than Zhu Wenqi. Zhu Wenqi also liked to play with him the most.
"Of course, even if you don't say it, I will bring Chonghe with me!" Li Jie smiled again. Although the relationship between the two children was good, it would be best to deepen their relationship while studying.
