Bao'er asked in bewilderment, "Wouldn't it be exhausting to learn so much?"
Yun Yang could not help but chuckle. "It's only natural for a superior to know more. Of course, when the time comes, you only need to do one thing."
Bao'er asked, "When? Which knowledge? "
Yun Yang smiled without saying a word. After a while, he said softly, "Actually, the world is a family. If you want your family not to be bullied, to be fed and clothed, to be free from suffering, you only need one knowledge. If you want everyone in the world to be fed and clothed, you only need one knowledge. "
Bao'er seemed to understand, blinking his big eyes in confusion.
The two teachers did not comment on Yun Yang's teachings, but they looked like they were listening attentively as well.
Hearing Yun Yang's words, however, they were suddenly shaken.
Of course, they understood what Yun Yang was saying, but there were some things that they dared not say.
He only muttered, "One knowledge, one knowledge … I only need one knowledge."
They could not help but think.
Looking at Yun Yang's gaze, they could not help but feel a little strange.
Bao'er was still too young. Yun Yang had long prohibited him from getting involved in politics. What Yun Yang was doing now, however, was planting seeds in Bao'er's heart, becoming one with him, waiting for them to sprout and grow.
There were some things that they dared not say or could not understand, but Yun Yang's words were enough to make it clear. However, the premise was that those who understood would understand, while those who did not would only walk another path.
Could Bao'er really understand?
Looking at Bao'er's contemplative face, the two teachers could not help chuckling bitterly.
Understand?
Only now did he realize that as teachers, we really don't even dare to ask the three words "Do we understand?"
"Bao'er, you only need to know that the word 'home' is enough. To an ordinary citizen, home is a family of three or four people. To a king, what is home? "
Bao'er might not have understood this, but the two teachers felt like they had been struck by lightning as they lifted their heads to look at Yun Yang.
It was confirmed.
Today, Yun Yang was not here to teach Bao'er, but to teach the two of them as teachers!
"What is home?!"
The two Confucian scholars suddenly felt a heavy weight on their hearts.
…
"Aunt!"
Seeing that Shangguan Lingxiu had arrived, the other children crowded around her as well, tugging at her hands and complaining, "Aunty … What's the use of us learning all that nonsense here? Letting us go back to train is the right thing to do. Staying alive on the battlefield is our top priority. What can these books do?"
Shangguan Lingxiu was initially all smiles as she watched the learning atmosphere, but her expression darkened when she heard this. "Nonsense! What do you mean by a nuisance? Deciding the outcome of a battle from a thousand miles away is a military principle. Are you really not going to move? If you dare to spout nonsense again, even if your teacher doesn't care about you, you will still be punished according to the family rules! "
The children immediately hung their heads dejectedly, but no one dared to retort.
Family rules?
The Shangguan Family of Generals' discipline was not something an ordinary person could endure. They were all dispirited.
Yun Yang could not help but be amused by the situation. He could not blame Shangguan Lingxiu for throwing a tantrum. These young fellows from the Shangguan Family were all good fighters; fighting in a group was like eating honey. They did not slack off even when they were studying military books and scrolls. Only the knowledge in books and the path of the sage had left them numb.
During this period of time in the Residence of Yun, he had been tormented to the point of whining every day. Even if there was some improvement, the improvement was extremely limited and negligible.
They were indeed the children of the Shangguan Family of Generals, living up to the name 'family of generals'.
"There's no rush, there's no rush."
Yun Yang comforted her, "The heirs of the Shangguan Family of Generals should have the Shangguan Family's nature. The reason I've taken them in here is firstly to learn as much as I can; secondly, to pave a new path for their future. Thirdly, it's to train their temperament … There are actually other reasons, but it will only be beneficial to them."
"There's no need to be overly concerned about their nature. After all, their positions in the future will be in the Board of Military or the battlefield." Yun Yang said, "Besides, the Shangguan Family of Generals will have no worries in the future!"
"No worries in the future …" Shangguan Lingxiu mumbled the words, unable to hold back a mixture of sadness and joy.
No worries in the future.
How many years had it been since the Shangguan Family of Generals had struggled with these words like a nightmare?
Now that it had been completely resolved in Yun Yang's hands, they no longer had to worry about the future. It was a permanent solution.
Recalling the new path that Yun Yang had mentioned earlier, the Shangguan Family of Generals might really be able to prosper forever with the foundation that these young fellows had laid here in the Residence of Yun.
Of course, there was still a precondition – no rebellion!
Putting everything else aside, just the childhood friends that the Shangguan Family of Generals had with Bao 'er would not be a problem!
Therefore, Shangguan Lingxiu, who had always shouldered the heavy responsibility of the family of generals, could finally let go of the family's burden!
The sudden feeling of relief almost made her cry tears of joy.
"Among these six nephews of yours, only four of them can really go to the battlefield in the future." Yun Yang spoke to Shangguan Lingxiu through voice transmission, "The other two are the ones who play dumb. It's best for them to be in the Board of Military in the future. You understand."
You understand!
How could Shangguan Lingxiu not understand?
She spoke to Yun Yang through voice transmission, choking with sobs, "I understand, I really do … I'm already very content now! But do you know … how I wish that the number you're talking about could be reversed … "
Yun Yang was speechless.
The three children of the Shangguan Family of Generals came forward together, very angry. "Auntie, you're crying … Who bullied you? Let's go beat him to death! "
Another one was hesitant and hesitant, stopping there and pretending to read a book.
The other two glanced at each other before lowering their heads to focus on their books.
Yun Yang and Shangguan Lingxiu watched closely as the six children reacted differently in the face of the sudden incident. They all had different expressions.
Yun Yang's expression was one of deep thought.
Shangguan Lingxiu was comforted.
Only Bao'er rubbed his palms together and said, "Who dares bully my uncle?"
Shangguan Lingxiu rolled her eyes.
Bully your uncle?
Would the entire continent's population be enough?
…
In the palace.
His Majesty had purposely asked Qiu Jianhan to stay after handling the national affairs.
Since the battle of the Fortress of Resilience, Qiu Jianhan had been in a coma. Every time His Majesty wanted to talk to someone to relieve his boredom, he realized in shock that he had no one to keep him around. He had been rather lonely for quite some time.
Now that Qiu Jianhan had finally woken up and had fully recovered, the emperor could not help but revert to his usual self amidst his delight. Perhaps, he had summoned Old Marshal Qiu more frequently than before, asking him to stay for a chat almost every day after the court session ended.
The situation made Qiu Jianhan groan incessantly. Who could stand having to work overtime every day?
Others could knock off at the appointed time, but he had to work for a few more hours every day …
It did not seem to be a good thing to have too much of the emperor's grace!
"You often ask for this old man's company, but why don't you give me a higher salary? You're ordering me around for nothing …"
Qiu Jianhan grumbled inwardly, but his face was serious. "What orders does Your Majesty have?"
"I am strict in everything, and follow the law in everything. I have no mercy. Can the second prince's life be spared? "His Majesty was an understanding man, going straight to the point.
…
"I'll say a few extra words here.
Words from the heart.
Country. Family.
I've been a soldier, I've been educated, but I don't understand this problem myself. Therefore, this chapter is not a lecture.
I think I have two points. If the country needs me, I can go to the battlefield and do whatever it takes.
If the family needs me, I can do whatever it takes, even if I have to go against everything.
Therefore,
I'm a little lost when I write this.
When my family is bullied, I can do whatever it takes, even if I have to suffer for it. There's no doubt about this.
If the country is bullied, I feel that, to a certain extent, I'll give it all. However, when it's not to a certain extent, I might have the thought of peace.
However, when I think of it this way, I feel that it doesn't match the theme of this book.
Yet, this is my true self.
Writing up to this point is also the end of my career's confusion.
Therefore, the next book will not be about family and country.
