Chapter 1140 Yang Clan Educates Sons

"Son greets father."

"Why are you back so early? Is the academy closed today?"

Jerry Yang looked at his son in surprise, and after asking him to sit next to him, he couldn't hide the relief in his eyes.

Jerry Yang and his first wife have only one son, named Yang Fengning. To sum it up in one sentence, he is a typical "other people's child".

Yang Fengning has been gifted since childhood and has perfectly inherited his mother's intelligence. He is a well-known genius student in the academy. Not only that, Yang Fengning is also proficient in both civil and military affairs and has made considerable achievements in martial arts.

What is even more commendable is that Yang Fengning is very smart. He has known how to read people's expressions since he was a child, and he knows how to use his young age to win the favor of his elders. In the eyes of those old guys, this is simply Yang's ancestors' success. It is not without reason that people often say that good bamboo shoots come from bad bamboo.

Although it sounds a bit unpleasant, Jerry Yang still agrees very much with these comments. The Yang family started to prosper with his grandfather's generation, and his father's generation could only maintain the status quo.

When it came to his generation, although he became the emperor's favorite and later married the daughter of a prominent family, which raised the status of the Yang family, his foundation was ultimately too weak. If his son could continue the glory of his generation, then the Yang family would truly be considered to have entered the ranks of famous families.

"The dean is taking the princess out for a trip today, so we all have a day off." Yang Fengning briefly told his father about what happened after Princess Hualuan entered the academy and the past few days.

  Yang Zhiyuan's reaction to this matter was calm. After all, he and Qi Yunzhou had been promoting this matter together. However, it seemed that there was another benefit for the princess to enter the academy.

Yang Zhiyuan looked at his son. His intention was too obvious, so Yang Fengning rolled his eyes silently: "Father, if you don't want the Yang family to be cut off in our generation, you'd better not have those crooked ideas."

"Why do you say that? It's like the saying goes, 'He who is close to the water gets the moon first.'" Yang Zhiyuan laughed sarcastically. Although he might not really mean that, this ambiguous attitude still made Yang Fengning make his point clear immediately.

Yang Fengning sighed, looking like an old man: "Father, in my opinion, the princess is not something that can be easily found."

"Of course." Yang Zhiyuan also agreed with this point. If the princess was really well-behaved and ordinary, then why would Qi Yunzhou go to such great lengths to bring her to the academy?

"What my son means is that the princess may have great fortune in the future." Yang Fengning said in a low voice.

Yang Zhiyuan's eyes paused. Although he was also optimistic about Princess Hualuan, it was ultimately based on her identity as a "princess". No matter how rich or noble she was, she could only be the second Yongle at best. He didn't have the courage to think about anything more.

But Yang Fengning insisted on his own opinion: "My son believes that the dean is determined to surpass the old master, so since he has chosen Princess Hualuan, there is no other way out."

If you want to be an emperor's teacher, there is one prerequisite that you cannot avoid, and that is that the person you teach must at least be the emperor.

Everyone thought that Qi Yunzhou chose the princess in preparation for getting closer to Prince Ding in the future. After all, at this stage, the old adults would not let this rebellious guy get close to the future heir to the country.

But after observing for the past few days, Yang Fengning was surprised to find that President Qi didn't seem to have that intention. He was not beating around the bush, but was aiming at the bull's eye.

  On the first day the princess came to the academy, Dean Qi used a unique duel to teach her the ultimate secrets of martial arts, cutting off the possibility of the princess taking the wrong path, and also taught her a lesson. Then on the second day, he taught her how to judge people, and on the third day, he taught her how to control people.

Dean Qi taught these students poetry, books, rituals, music, and how to govern the world, while he taught the princess magic, how to control subordinates, and how to control people's hearts.

It’s not that Yang Fengning felt that Dean Qi was keeping secrets from them, but what the hell - these things were all the emperor’s tricks. How could he teach a princess this?

Although Jerry Yang did not accept his son's statement in the end, he also gave up the idea of ​​letting his son compete for the position of son-in-law. In order to avoid this possible storm, he even planned to let his son stay away.

"What does father think of Princess Hualuan?" Yang Fengning asked.

Yang Zhiyuan thought about it and blurted out something disrespectful: "It's a pity that you are not a man."

Yang Fengning said with some worry: "If that's the case, I heard that Prince Ding has a weak character. I don't know what the world will be like in the future."

Yang Zhiyuan laughed loudly: "Stinky boy, how old are you and you're already worrying about the world? You think all the officials in the court are just good-for-nothings - but then again, I'm afraid you underestimated His Royal Highness the Prince."

Yang Fengning looked at Jerry Yang with a puzzled look on his face.

Facing his son's puzzled look, Yang Zhiyuan said seriously: "I tell you, Prince Ding is not weak at all. On the contrary, I think His Highness is very smart. He understands the principle of going with the flow. Instead of competing with the powerful Princess Hualuan, it is better to be a mascot in the back." Yang Fengning didn't understand: "So, isn't this weakness?"

Yang Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "So, you still have a lot to learn. I've taken on all the trouble. He has both the shade of a big tree and a good reputation. He can do this and still pretend to be ignorant. He is even regarded as a softie by you guys who think highly of yourself. How can it be simple?"

Yang Fengning woke up as if from a dream, his eyes widened as if he understood many things at once.

Yang Zhiyuan smiled, spread out a gift list on the table and began to write: "Everyone says that the princess resembles her father, but in fact, Prince Ding is the one who is most like Your Majesty. You can relax, the world is very stable. Besides, who can predict what will happen in a few decades."

"My son has learned his lesson." Yang Fengning stood up and bowed, then took a curious look at the gift list written by Yang Zhiyuan: "Father, who are you going to give gifts to?"

"Your academy has been so busy lately. If I don't get involved, won't it make everyone feel uneasy?" Yang Zhiyuan just wrote down the names of a few treasures, and then handed the gift list to his son: "Give it to your mother, and let her prepare the rest."

Yang Fengning took it and asked, "Father, shouldn't we stay as far away as possible at a time like this?"

Yang Zhiyuan lectured him angrily, "Your father is His Majesty's trusted confidant. How can you hide from me? Besides, asking you to stay away from Her Majesty does not mean that you should avoid her every time you see her. You must meet her when you are supposed to, and you must give her gifts when you are supposed to. However, if Her Majesty wants to entrust you with important tasks, you must be careful."

Yang Fengning hurriedly said, "My ability is limited, and I am not worthy of such an important task. Princess, please seek someone else. I am familiar with Dalang from Minister Li's family, and I would like to introduce this talented person to you, Princess."

Only then did Yang Zhiyuan pat his son's head with satisfaction: "You can save the last sentence. I, your father, don't want to be blocked by old man Li. Go."

At the same time, on the outskirts of the capital, Qi Yunzhou had just taken Princess Hua Luan to visit a farmer's family and introduced to her in detail the completely different ways of interacting with the children of the powerful and the common people.

On the way back, Princess Hualuan seemed to be thinking about something. She suddenly asked, "Teacher, since talent is so important, why don't you let me win over Yang Fengning?"

It’s not that Yang Fengning is so outstanding that he stands out from the crowd, but Princess Hualuan’s social circle is not large, and this guy is one of the few people she has met who can be of use.

"Because Lord Yang is His Majesty's confidant, it is not appropriate for you to openly win over his son like this." Qi Yunzhou said.

Princess Hualuan paused, then asked, "Teacher, do you think my father will call me back immediately after he comes back?"

  Although the pitiful appearance she pretended to show when she met Qi Yunzhou was fake, Princess Hua Luan also thought about it seriously. Her brother is not only a candidate for the dynasty's crown prince recognized by the court and the public, but he may also be the successor favored by her father. What she did is tantamount to poaching everyone's talents. Would her father really agree?

"Princess, you worry too much."

What Qi Yunzhou didn't say was that if the emperor knew that the princess had such an enterprising spirit, I'm afraid that His Majesty would not only not stop her but would also help her secretly.

To this rebellious emperor, the quarrel between his children was by no means a royal tragedy. Instead, he hoped that the two would fight fiercely and win great glory. After all, the current situation that was as calm as stagnant water was what the emperor hated the most.

"Then I'll take advantage of your good words, teacher." Unfortunately, Princess Hualuan obviously had no confidence in this.

".correct."

Princess Hualuan took out a letter and said, "This is a letter a maid in the cold palace asked me to give to you. Teacher, you have such a long hand that you even touch the palace. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will find out and cause trouble for you?"

Qi Yunzhou took the letter and said, "That's why I asked the princess to help. I believe the princess will not tell His Majesty about this."

"That depends on the teacher's sincerity." Princess Hualuan said with a smile, and then asked: "So who wrote this letter to the teacher? I haven't heard that there is anyone else living in the cold palace?"

Qi Yunzhou did not answer this question, but just sighed softly.
