The door to Yang Pojun's office had already been closed from the outside. At this moment, in the entire room, there were only Yang Gongming, Yang Pojun, Ning Guangyao, and the old woman who had always been inseparable from Yang Gongming.
Even Ning Guangyao's biological son, Ning Guodong, did not have the right to listen to these people's conversation here.
Yang Gongming sat on the chair that Yang Pojun usually used to work, while Yang Pojun and Ning Guangyao sat on the wooden chairs on either side.
After pondering for a while, Yang Gongming said, "Premier Ning, today is a family matter of our Yang Family. I shouldn't have told you, but since you've already heard some of it, and the Ning family and our Yang Family are friends, I'll tell you the whole story."
"Father." Yang Pojun frowned. He didn't expect Yang Gongming to really confess the matter, and directly tell the current Premier Hua Xia.
Ning Guangyao saw Yang Pojun's nervous face and immediately said, "Elder Yang, originally, if you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have asked. But since Elder Yang wants to explain things clearly, then I promise I won't leak out what I saw and heard today."
"Hehe, I trust the Premier." Yang Gongming smiled casually. Then, he briefly recounted the matter of Yang Cheng back then.
After listening to Yang Gongming's story, Ning Guangyao's face was filled with emotion, "Back then, if it wasn't for you, Elder Yang, in the political arena of Hua Xia, it would have been a mess long ago." Although Elder Yang's contributions are not understood by the world, our group of juniors have all been promoted by you. Therefore, after my father passed away, even if I succeeded as the head of the Ning family, I still respected you as my teacher. This is also the reason why. Unexpectedly, before Old Master Yang ascended to the position, there was actually such a helpless thing that happened. Fortunately, that young man named Yang Cheng has grown up very well. This can be considered a good reward. "
"Hmph, arrogant and domineering. What's so special about that!?" Yang Pojun said disdainfully.
"Army Destroyer!" Yang Gongming's expression changed. "In the future, don't provoke Yang Cheng. Don't you know what kind of person he is?"
Yang Pojun gritted his teeth and nodded.
Although he was still very angry, he knew that his son, who had been separated from him for more than 20 years, had grown up in a way that was out of the ordinary.
However, no matter how outstanding he was, it wasn't something worth praising if he went against her.
What Yang Pojun was worried about now was that after today's incident, some busybody would expose this past and affect the election in two months. If that happened, all his previous efforts would be in vain!
Ning Guangyao seemed to have seen through Yang Pojun's worries. "Army Destroyer, I will help you in the election in two months."
"Huh?" Yang Pojun was stunned. He did not expect Ning Guangyao to suddenly say this. After all, this man was famous for being impartial. He would never use his influence to help anyone.
Ning Guangyao said, "Yang Cheng's matter should not be an obstacle for you in the Politburo. Everyone can see the hard work you've done all these years. You shouldn't be implicated by this kind of thing."
Yang Pojun was delighted. As long as Ning Guangyao was willing to help him, he had a lot of confidence. However, even if he was promoted, it would be because of this man's help. Even if he was promoted to a national leader, people might talk behind his back …
Am I not as good as him after all?
Ning Guangyao was not a person who had a lot of free time. He looked at the time and got up to leave. Before leaving, he hesitated and whispered to Yang Pojun, "Army Destroyer, find time to reconcile with Xuehua. She is a poor woman. Don't let her be sad all the time …"
Yang Pojun lowered his head and agreed. However, no one could see that there was a strange light floating in Yang Pojun's eyes.
After sending Ning Guangyao away, Yang Gongming turned to Yang Pojun and said, "You, come with me."
Yang Pojun actually had a lot of questions in his heart. Why did his father disrupt his plan? Why did he side with Yang Cheng? He wanted to know more about Yang Cheng's background. Why did his father seem to know about it but did not tell him? Was there something hidden? How important was the "military secret" that Lin Zhiguo mentioned?
He followed Yang Gongming all the way to the back of the military compound near the foot of the mountain. Yang Gongming walked into a house that was left for him to live in all year round. From a mahogany cabinet, he took out a thick silk booklet that was made of a combination of pure silk and sheepskin. The entire booklet seemed to be very old and hard to distinguish, but it was carefully preserved and not a single trace of damage could be seen.
Yang Pojun saw this thick booklet and his eyes narrowed. He cried out involuntarily, "Genealogy?!"
"That's right. This is the genealogy of our Yang Family." Yang Gongming placed the "Yang Family Genealogy" on the bluestone table in the courtyard and carefully flipped it open. On the yellowish silk pages, the names of the ancestors of the Yang Family, their birth and death dates, as well as simple biographical notes were written in elegant calligraphy.
From the emperor's relatives to the merchants and peddlers, they were all the same.
As Yang Gongming flipped through the booklet, he said, "Our Yang Family has been passing down this genealogy since the Tang and Song dynasties. Although it was damaged a few times along the way, we managed to preserve most of it in detail through copying. In this genealogy, most of our ancestors were from the Yang Family. Although there were times when they were down and out, most of them were elites that were hard to come by in every era. The Yang Family had played an important role in almost every dynasty in the past hundreds of years of history.
When your grandfather was educating me, he told me, 'Members of the Yang Family, no matter what situation they are in, must uphold the glory of the family and do things that suit their identity as a member of the Yang Family.' When you were young, I taught you the same thing.
During your grandfather's era, our Yang Family was attacked by foreigners and suffered heavy losses. It could be said that more than half of our foundation was destroyed in a day. But your grandfather, relying on the backbone of the Yang Family and the idea of protecting the family's glory even at the cost of his life, finally regained great prestige in the process of repelling the foreign invaders. Our Yang Family also relied on your grandfather and my father to have the capital to revive.
I've never felt that what I did back then was so great. Compared to my father and your grandfather, I can only be considered a lucky bastard who got lucky and relied on the glory of the Yang Clan to rise to the top and show off my skills … "
Speaking up to this point, Yang Gongming glanced at Yang Pojun and said earnestly, "Pojun, no matter what kind of situation you're facing, what kind of challenge you're facing, whether it's success or failure, it doesn't mean anything. You have to remember that you're a descendant of the Yang Family. What you need to do is in line with the glory of the Yang Family and your identity. No matter if you're in a high position or have a mediocre life, don't lose your heart. In this way, after a hundred years, our names will be deeply engraved in this genealogy book … "
Yang Pojun looked at the bluestone table and the genealogy book that was engraved with the glory of countless ancestors. His eyes lit up and his spirit was greatly lifted. "Father, I understand. I will definitely not bring disgrace to the family's glory."
Yang Gongming frowned. Seeing his son's somewhat fanatical expression, he asked again, "Do you really understand what the family's glory is?"
"Yes, I understand."
Yang Gongming sighed and smiled. "Since you understand, you can go back to your work. Just take it that I've wasted your time by talking nonsense."
"Thank you for your teachings, father!"
Yang Pojun bowed, turned around and strode away.
Yang Gongming's slightly withered hand caressed the four dark golden words "Yang Family Genealogy". As if talking to himself, he said, "Do you really understand …"
At this moment, the old woman who had been standing silently behind Yang Gongming comforted him, "Master, you can't force things. Everyone has their own aspirations."
"Hehe, that's right. Everyone has their own aspirations," Yang Gongming smiled. He seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Sanniang, what do you think of Yang Cheng's abilities?"
Seeing the expectant look on Yang Gongming's face, the old woman who was addressed as' Sanniang 'smiled and said, "Are you talking about Young Master Chen's martial arts?"
"That's right. Judging from his hand just now, his inner force cultivation base should be extremely high!" Yang Gongming smiled. "The information given by Lin Zhiguo is correct."
"Of course it is." A warm smile appeared on Sanniang's wrinkled face. "At Young Master Chen's age, to be able to cultivate to this level of Xiantian Full Cycle's inner force, this old woman is quite shocked. Even Song Tianxing did not have such talent in the past. According to my calculations, Young Master Chen is destined to take that step. Let's see when he can reach that threshold himself. "
Yang Gongming's expression turned solemn, and he was overjoyed. "Really? That kid, Yang Cheng, can he reach that threshold? "
"Young Master Chen cultivates the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture of Mount Shu. He should have already discovered that the inner force of the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture at the ninth level gives him a feeling of being stopped halfway. Once his understanding of inner force gradually deepens, he'll discover a whole new world," Sanniang said confidently.
"Hahahaha," Yang Gongming said happily. "When that time comes, that kid will suffer a huge blow."
"Blow? Why do you say so, Master? "Sanniang asked.
Yang Gongming sighed. "He must think that he is already standing at the peak of the world after obtaining the inheritance of 'Pluto' from overseas. How would he know that he has always been an ant in the eyes of others …"
"I see!" Sanniang nodded. Her arms were around his waist, and her eyes were two lines as she smiled.
