Chapter 58

In the Study Room.

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou scolded off several important ministers from the Cabinet and Six Ministries, then regained his composure and began speaking to his sons in front of him.

"You all saw just now. The incompetent do not deserve high positions. This applies to ministers, and even more so to the Crown Prince."

Xiao Yunzhou's gaze swept over each of his sons.

"If today I were to pass the throne to you, and tomorrow you prove incapable, I will take it back."

As he spoke, he sat back on the dragon throne behind the desk, holding his daughter Xiao Chuchu tightly.

Xiao Chuchu squirmed uncomfortably in his arms, but her grape-like eyes sparkled upon hearing his words.

[Yes, Father Emperor is right.]

[We must not only consider the present, but also have a long-term perspective.]

"Although innate intelligence levels have a certain impact on future achievements, even the Crown Prince, who is still a minor, can improve his thinking abilities through diligent study," Xiao Chuchu had heard in modern times about the importance of early childhood education in developing intelligence.

It is evident that intelligence is not fixed, but can be enhanced through education.

"I think that exposing children to new things and enhancing their hands-on abilities can make them smarter," Xiao Chuchu pondered.

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou immediately focused his attention, listening intently.

Especially when he looked at the Fourth Prince, who was currently less intelligent than the eunuch serving tea, and the Third Prince who was not as good as Wei Zheng, he felt anxious.

Including his fifth son, Cheng Qian, whom he was preparing to pass the throne to, also had an intelligence level of eighty-eight, just like him.

Talented individuals emerge in every generation.

Although Emperor Xiao Yunzhou was suspicious, he still hoped that the next generation of emperors who would succeed him would be stronger than himself.

This way, the Jing Country would continue to prosper.

"Sons will heed Father Emperor's teachings," the Crown Prince took the lead in expressing his loyalty in front of the Emperor, "Sons will not slack off in the future. I have read the books taught by the teachers in the Study Room more than one hundred and fifty times."

This was taught by the Empress.

Xiao Yunzhou nodded. It goes without saying that the Empress's family had a certain way of teaching, producing many scholars.

In this aspect, he trusted the Empress's family.

Now looking at the Crown Prince, it was clear that his intelligence was not low.

Was this the intelligence improvement brought about by education?

Xiao Yunzhou was pleased and was about to speak, suggesting that the other princes, especially his highly anticipated fifth son Cheng Qian, should also learn from the Crown Prince. But the next moment, he froze in place.

Because his daughter Xiao Chuchu, in his arms, upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, exclaimed and restlessly twisted in his embrace.

[Reading one lesson one hundred and fifty times? Oh my, how much can one learn from that?]

Xiao Chuchu widened her eyes.

[Exam-oriented education is not good at all, we must ensure enough sleep.]
