Emperor Yongzheng defeated his brothers and ascended the throne, only to die exhausted after thirteen years, leaving behind ambitions unfulfilled. Unwilling to accept this fate, his soul wandered t...
After answering, Zhang Ying said, "Why would the eldest prince think of asking these questions?"
Bobo: "Yesterday, Father Emperor took me out. Father Emperor assigned me a task, asking me to write down my feelings. There are many parts that I don't quite understand, so I thought I'd ask the teacher."
Zhang Ying then understood why Prince Bobo had asked these questions, and at the same time felt that the Emperor had really gone to great lengths.
To be honest, although he taught his son seriously, he had never actually done this kind of practical teaching.
It is evident how much the Emperor cares for Prince Bobo. After Princess Gulun Ronghua was born, Zhang Ying heard many people say how much the Emperor doted on the princess, a stark contrast to how he treated the eldest prince when he was born.
Zhang Ying scoffed at this. As the tutor of the eldest prince, he knew best the emperor's intentions towards the prince. When it came to favoritism, it was more important to be practical.
In Zhang Ying's view, the Emperor's favoritism towards Princess Gulun Ronghua was less practical than his favoritism towards the First Prince! In Zhang Ying's opinion, nurturing a person's talents was more important than material favors.
However, there are always some short-sighted people who cannot see the emperor's attitude and always feel that the emperor is not as important to the eldest brother as the previous princes who did not have teeth.
Zhang Ying understood what was going on, but the eldest prince was still young and might not be able to understand. Zhang Ying answered his question and then said, "The Emperor values the eldest prince very much, which is a blessing for the eldest prince."
There were also gossipy people around Bobo, but unfortunately, Bobo was not the kind of person who could be easily swayed by others. He had eyes to see and to think, and he knew in his heart how his mother and father treated him. Now that his teacher said the same thing, Bobo appreciated it: "What the teacher said is true. Father Emperor does indeed value his student very much."
Zhang Ying was pleased to see that the eldest prince spoke sincerely; he truly deserved to be his prized student.
