Yang Sheng watched his thirteenth son leave after the gift. The smile on his face did not fade away, but instead he smiled even more happily.
"Wu Kui, what do you think of this kid, Xiao Shisan?"
"He is smart, well-founded in his advance and retreat, and has a lively mind without losing his sense of responsibility. The past evaluations of His Highness the Thirteenth Highness in the palace do not seem to be appropriate." Wu Kui could not say anything disappointing. And Yang Rui gave him the feeling of surprise as he said.
Yang Sheng was very satisfied with Wu Kui's answer, and even thought it was not enough. He said, "Now it seems that all the things in the past were done by this child. Alas, life in the palace is not easy. Even the prince has his own way of survival. Now Hina The bird is flying high, and there is shelter from the wind and rain. Naturally, the pretense before is no longer needed.
This kid is good. Honesty is especially rare. There are no excuses or perfunctory things. If it works, it works, and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t work.
But it seems that in just one year, Zhang Yan has become as important as our royal family in this child's heart. "
Yang Sheng himself went from prince to prince and then ascended to the throne as emperor. Even he is not the eldest son among his brothers. From the moment he was born, he knew his own survival and goals. The difference between Yang Rui's performance before and now is easy to understand. It's not strange, nor surprising, nor does it feel like there's anything wrong with it.
The royal family is like this. They fight when they are born, and avoid when they don't fight. Otherwise, how can we hold on to this world?
"But it can be heard from Xiao Shisan's words that Zhang Yan is very confident in his method, and is sure that even if we take it, it won't be possible. The threshold! It's really hard to say this thing."
"Your Majesty, I think this threshold may be an obstacle to others, but it is not difficult for the royal family to cross it. There are millions of living beings in the world, even if you pick one out of ten thousand or even one out of a million, you can find something. Less. It depends on whether Mr. Zhang is willing to teach."
Yang Sheng smiled and continued walking in the garden without stopping, taking a sip of the warm tea in the teapot in his hand from time to time.
"Teach? I used to think that Zhang Yan's skills would be taught in the same way as in the martial arts academy. But you also heard what Xiao Shisan said today. Do you think Zhang Yan might be able to teach more in terms of teaching skills? Someone? He doesn’t have the energy even if he wants to."
How could Wu Kui not understand what Yang Sheng meant? nodded. Indeed! According to His Highness the Thirteenth Prince, Zhang Yan was dedicated to the smallest detail for his three disciples, not only in teaching methods, but also in guiding them from daily life to character training and principles of doing things. . To put it bluntly, many fathers may not have such meticulous guidance for their own children.
How much effort does it take to teach like this? Wu Kui couldn't explain clearly, but he knew that if it were him, he would have at most one or two such disciples. Even if Zhang Yan is stronger than him, three is already a lot now.
"Then, Your Majesty, are you ready to stop mentioning the matter of seeking justice?" Wu Kui knew that the emperor's recent thoughts were almost entirely on the return of the Thirteenth Prince. The most important thing is that I hope to get some information about Zhang Yan's methods from the Thirteenth Prince. The idea is to keep the wealth from going to outsiders. But now it seems that you have changed your mind?
"Why don't you ask for it? You don't understand the principle of those who are near the water, those who get the moon first, right? It's just that Zhang Yan's way of teaching students is so unexpected. It broke some of my previous ideas. Now I have to change it.
After a while, you can prepare some rewards for Xiao Shisan, and Concubine Mingying, including her mother-in-law's family, will also be rewarded. If you give it a little thicker, you can start preparing for him about the account ban. What I said must be implemented before my birthday. Don't be careless.
Then tell the dining room that there will be a banquet for Concubine Mingying tonight, and we can get together again. "
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements right away."
Wu Kui received the order and hurried down to make arrangements. Although Yang Sheng didn't say it explicitly, Yang Sheng's plan could be guessed from these arrangements. This can't even be considered a plan, it's just a roundabout way of doing things.
Concubine Mingying. She is Yang Rui's mother-in-law. In addition to Yang Rui, Concubine Mingying also has a daughter, who was married the year before last.
Today's banquet was given by the emperor, which is an extremely rare thing. At least Ming Yang Guifei never received such a reward after giving birth to Yang Rui. Usually some rewards are given during festivals, or the emperor comes to spend the night for a long time.
Although they take good care of themselves diligently, they are not as good as when they were young. There are always new beauties in the emperor's harem, so naturally they will slowly lose their mind. That's why women in the harem are always paranoid. It's not because they think that the environment is like this and they have no choice but to do so. Just like Concubine Mingying, she can still be considered charming outside the palace at her age, but she is old and yellow in the palace. If he had a promising son, would the emperor give him a banquet?
It is very rare for a "family of three" to have dinner together in the palace. Many women in the palace would not dare to dream of such a good thing.
Yang Rui has a precocious mind, but that doesn't mean that he has completely lost the expectations and ideas that a child should have. He cares equally about the reunion and warmth of the family, and even finds it more precious.
I thought that during the dinner, my father would mention the things that happened at noon again. But not at all. Yang Sheng hugged Concubine Ming Yang with great interest and kept talking about some interesting things about Yang Rui's past. He even played the piano while drunk and made Concubine Mingying dance a song. The family had fun until late at night.
Yang Rui, who was in a happy mood, could not stay in Concubine Mingying's courtyard and went back to his old courtyard to rest. The emperor will stay overnight in the courtyard of Concubine Mingying tonight.
Early the next morning, Yang Rui got up, packed up, and went to pay his respects to his mother and concubine. He was not surprised to learn that the emperor had left before dawn. He sat in the courtyard and had breakfast with his mother and concubine, and then had a good chat.
However, Concubine Yang shed tears while chatting. What he is talking about is the hard work of the heartbroken emperor. It can be said that one person is dedicated to the country. Even if there are some warriors who are close to him, they can't stop such hard work. He is getting older day by day. I also hope that Yang Rui can help the emperor to share his worries. Instead of asking for the crown prince position in the future, it is always appropriate to ask for some filial piety, right?
What Yang Guifei said made Yang Rui unable to retreat, because it was indeed true. His father was definitely a good emperor and a diligent emperor, and he did worry about state affairs. And as a son of man, shouldn't he help out to fulfill his filial piety?
"Mother and concubine, how can I help my father? I can't teach the teacher's skills privately, otherwise."
"Silly boy! Why would mother let you do such a senseless thing? But you can beg for mercy on behalf of your father. You are Mr. Zhang's disciple, so you can always speak easily. You don't need any powerful means. You are a simple warrior. As long as it works. And don’t force it if you try it. This can be regarded as your filial piety, and Mr. Zhang will not blame you for such a trivial matter. "
PS: I have to go to the hospital for physical therapy in the next two days, so I have one chapter left to make up in the afternoon. I hope you will bear with me.
