The elders of the Yang Family's branch family all looked ashamed. They collapsed in their seats, looking extremely lonely.
Yang Pojun sat on the chair in a daze, his lips trembling. He couldn't help but feel both excited and regretful.
"Pojun!" Yang Gongming smiled at his only son and said, "Do you know now the pain in my heart when Yang Cheng was called a bastard?!
You look down on Yang Cheng, but Yang Cheng is at least your own flesh and blood. As for me, I'm not even my father's flesh and blood!
Back then, father was able to raise a child like me who had nothing to do with him, but you didn't even dare to admit that you were his own flesh and blood. Do you know how disappointed I was!? "
"Father, I …"
"I know that you think you are looking at the big picture, and this is also my fault. But back then, I did it for the sake of the Yang Family, for the sake of Hua Xia's political stability!
"You, on the other hand, are unwilling to admit Yang Cheng's identity for the sake of your own standing committee seat. You can't deny the difference."
Yang Pojun's face darkened. He lowered his head silently for a long time, as if he had let go of some knot in his heart. He sighed and said, "Dad, I know I was wrong."
Guo Xuehua, who was at the side, wiped away her tears. She looked at her husband, who had finally admitted defeat under the continuous blows and stimulation, and seemed to have vented her anger.
At this time, Ning Guangyao, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again, "Master Yang, you have a deep father-son relationship with the Old Marshal, and you have a deep sense of righteousness. We have all seen it and remembered it.
However, the current situation is not something that we can calm down by admiring the Yang Family's true feelings and glory.
Right now, the media and the people of the entire country are watching us, the Yang Family, in the eyes of the people of Hua Xia.
"Since you have already confirmed that you are not a descendant of the Yang Family, then in the eyes of the people of Hua Xia, the Yang Family is no longer that trustworthy …"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became tense again. Many officials and generals also nodded silently, they also deeply agreed.
Although Yang Gongming's words had won everyone's respect, it was impossible for him to convince everyone in the country and the whole world. It would only be seen as an excuse.
If he ignored it, things would definitely get out of hand. After all, Hua Xia was being ridiculed by the media all over the world because of the Yang Family.
Everyone in the Yang Family looked embarrassed. Now that things had come to this, they didn't have the face to fight with Yang Gongming anymore. After all, their wealth and glory were all bestowed by Yang Gongming.
Ning Guangyao had a righteous look on his face. "Eunuch Yang, there has to be a conclusion to this matter today. Otherwise, I won't be able to hold a press conference at the State Council and explain it to the people of the country."
Everyone looked at Yang Gongming, while Yang Gongming looked at Yang Cheng, who was leaning against the door frame. "Yang Cheng, what do you think?"
Everyone looked at Yang Cheng again. Just now, when Yang Gongming asked Yang Pojun, he couldn't answer Yang Pojun. Although Yang Cheng was a little inaccurate, it was obvious that he was closer to Yang Gongming.
Everyone admired Yang Gongming's foresight. Logically speaking, this eldest grandson hadn't been by his side since he was young and had just been found not too long ago. Yet, Yang Gongming had decisively eliminated all objections and wanted to hand the Yang Family over to this young man. Now, it seemed that Yang Gongming had not made a wrong judgment.
Yang Cheng already felt bored. Hearing that he was being asked, he turned to Ning Guangyao and said, "Premier Ning, what do you think we should do? Just say it."
Ning Guangyao seemed to have expected this. He gestured to the other officials present and said, "I've discussed it with a few of my colleagues. Right now, what the people are most disgusted with is that the Yang Family has concealed their background, but still occupies most of the military power in Jiangnan, Yanjing, and the northwest. Moreover, the generals of the Yang Family are all over the country.
This kind of situation made the people of all places feel uneasy. After all, the Yang Family had already lost their integrity, bloodline, and international reputation.
If we want to give the people an explanation, this military power … "We need to deal with it."
Li Moshen snorted coldly, "Premier Ning, why didn't I participate in the discussion you mentioned? I remember that I, Old Li, am still considered a member of the Standing Committee."
Ning Guangyao wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "Old Li, I'm sorry. This matter was rather rushed. Old Li is in the Security Bureau, so I didn't have time to inform you."
"Humph!" "Why don't you just say that you want to remove the military power? Why waste so much breath?" Yang Pojun said disdainfully.
Ning Guangyao had a helpless look on his face, "Pojun, you and I have known each other for many years. I have always been impartial, don't think too much about it."
"Whether it is or not, you know it in your heart." Yang Pojun sneered.
"Enough!"
Yang Gongming shouted in displeasure, "What Premier Ning said is also one of the ways to deal with it. Everyone discuss it, what are you arguing about!"
Yang Pojun seemed to be especially unconvinced by Ning Guangyao, so he turned his head away and didn't say anything else.
At this moment, the people in the lobby saw that Yang Cheng, who was standing at the door, had his hands in his pockets and was laughing by himself.
Yang Cheng laughed very happily, as if he had heard some particularly funny joke. He laughed until his stomach hurt.
"Yang Cheng, what are you laughing at?" Ning Guangyao squinted his eyes and asked.
Yang Cheng waved his hand, took a deep breath, stopped laughing, and said, "I just feel that your words make it seem like you understand the common people very well. I really wonder if you are giving an explanation to the news media or the common people …"
"What's the difference? "We give an answer, the media will inform the people, it's nothing more than that," Ning Guangyao said indifferently.
Yang Cheng shook his head, "Save it. The internet is so developed now, which country's leader isn't teased?
The President of the United States took liberties with an intern in the White House and asked a woman to give him a dumpling. He wasn't even pushed off the stage, and he didn't see how much the Americans wanted to revolt.
Now, it's just a retired old man who suddenly found out that his father isn't his own. Do you think the common people will run to your State Council to shoot you because of this? "
"You're right, but this is Hua Xia, not the United States. The situation and culture are different," Ning Guangyao said.
"It is indeed different. As far as I know, their income is much higher than the residents of Hua Xia, and their lives are also monotonous. They are the type of people who have nothing to do all day long, so the president's family is still like monkeys, kept in a white room and watched.
Unlike the common people of Hua Xia, we are afraid of being investigated when we give birth to a child, and we have to fight for a place to go to school. We are worried that our children won't be able to study well, and we are even more worried that our children will graduate from famous universities with low wages. We are afraid of being laid off from work, afraid of being caught in the unspoken rules when we take up a job, and we have no place to live if we live, and we have no place to put our ashes if we die.
In some places, even eating is a problem. It's already a blessing that we don't starve. How can we have so much time to pay attention to this country's affairs? Could it be that the Yang Family is all biological, and they can grow a piece of meat?
Besides, you people hold a meeting and come up with some ideas, and you only show it on TV. Do you think the common people know what it is for?
If I remember correctly, in the previous dispute with the island, you guys ignored the people's demonstrations and kept shooting empty cannons. That's called the people's grievances, the people's anger, but didn't you guys handle it well?
This time, there are no demonstrations or demonstrations. It's just the whole world ridiculing him. A retired old man is really innocent. Although my old man didn't tell you that he's not my biological son, no one has ever asked him about it before either!
What, we, the group of people who were ridiculed and implicated, didn't say anything, and you guys are going to make a move? "
Ning Guangyao's face alternated between red and white. He clenched his teeth, but couldn't say anything.
A few officials from the Ning faction looked troubled as well. After hearing what Yang Cheng said, it really seemed like the matter wasn't that big of a deal.
Yang Gongming leisurely picked up his teacup and took a sip. He said to Yan Sanniang, "Sanniang, the tea is cold, add some hot water."
"Aye, yes, Master." Yan Sanniang was listening happily, and nodded with a smile.
Everyone finally understood that the grandfather and grandson of the Yang Family weren't anxious at all. They were just watching the show!
Guo Xuehua and Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Cheng's nonsense, and they were both angry and amused. Such a serious matter was almost turned into a comedy by Yang Cheng's words.
Yang Cheng continued, "I know it's not easy for you guys. People will die in wars with foreigners, and it's not good to have people die. Although it wasn't your son who died, it's fine to drag it out. After a long time, people will naturally forget about it.
But I'm puzzled. You guys can drag out that kind of thing, why are you so anxious when it comes to the Yang Family? "
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.
In the end, it was Ning Guangyao who frowned and said, "Yang Cheng, then how do you think we should explain this matter?"
Yang Cheng yawned. "It's simple. Tell the truth, and explain the situation as it is."
"What?!" An official exclaimed. "How can we do that?! If the outside world confirms it, there will be more people coming out to cause trouble! "
Yang Chen rolled his eyes. "You bunch of people with ulterior motives. You're all standing there in a daze after listening to the old man's story. If this part of the past is made public, the people will definitely be more convinced."
Everyone was silent. Yang Cheng's words seemed to make sense. The two generations of the Yang Family were indeed inspiring, but they still didn't look too good when they were called 'all in a daze' …
