Chapter Ten Who is the master?
Gao Yan left with emotion and regret. Yang Su sent him out of the mansion and returned to the study room. There were only Feng Deyi and Yuan Qing in the study room. Yang Su immediately asked Feng Deyi: "Why didn't sir, let me agree to Gao Xiang just now?"
Yuan Qing sat on the stool next to him. He also wanted to know why Feng Deyi did not let Yang Su agree to be a disciple of Gao Bing. Of course, he knew that it was not because he wanted to learn martial arts, but there must be another reason.
Feng Deyi smiled sinisterly and asked Yang Su: "The Lord thought that if the prince ascended the throne for hundreds of years, who would he use as the left prime minister?"
Yang Su thought for a while and said, "At that time, Gao Yang was the father-in-law of the country, so of course he was the left prime minister!"
Yang Su suddenly understood Feng Deyi's meaning. Yang Yong ascended the throne and would continue to reuse Gao Yang, so Yang Su would never have a chance to make a comeback, but.

What does this have to do with Yuan Qing?
Feng Deyi smiled faintly, "Yuanqing is the beautiful jade of the Yang family, and it is the hope of the public. How can he be a disciple of the Gao family again?"
Yuan Qing also had to admire Feng Deyi for his understanding of people's hearts. He actually saw the competition between Yang Su and Gao Bing.
At this time, Yuan Qing suddenly had an enlightenment. One of the reasons why Yang Su spared no effort to support King Yang Guang of Jin in history was that he wanted to replace him with Gao Yang, and Gao Yang had already become a relative of the prince Yang Yong. Yang Su had no more investment opportunities in Yang Yong, so he turned to support Yang Guang.
I'm afraid the root of Yang Su's idea is from a sentence from Feng Deyi at this time.
This is the contingency and inevitability of history. Without Yang Su's support, Yang Guang would not have ascended the throne at all. If Yang Guang did not ascend the throne, Li Tang would not have appeared in the end.
Yang Su nodded slowly, "You said it well, very good. You really can't let Yuan Qing be a disciple of the Gao family. I almost lost my mind for a moment, thanks to the gentleman's reminder."
He glanced at Yuan Qing again and touched his little head lovingly, "It seems that my grandfather has to find another teacher for you."
Feng Deyi saw Yang Su's attention to Yuan Qing and thought to himself: "It's necessary to put some effort into this person."
Feng Deyi smiled and suggested: "Prime Minister, I know someone. Although he is just a low-level officer, he has excellent martial arts and courage. I recommend this person as the army of Yuanqing."
Yang Su thought about it. He wanted Yuan Qing to practice martial arts with the Yang family's children, but he also knew that those so-called martial artists did not have any real skills, which would have misled Yuan Qing. Yuan Qing's father Xuangan's martial arts skills were good, but unfortunately he didn't have time to teach this child, so Yang Su agreed, "You can't worry about your background, but you can bring this person to see me first."
Yuan Qing was also full of interest. Which hero in the late Sui Dynasty would it be? He hurriedly asked Feng Deyi: "I wonder who the sir is talking about?"
Feng Deyi laughed and said, "I don't know if I said it, I promise I won't let you down."
He gave Yang Su a wink, and Yang Su patted Yuan Qing's little head, "You go first! The master is here, and my grandfather will naturally find you."
When Yuan Qing left the study, Feng Deyi smiled and said, "The Prime Minister, I have another suggestion."
At this time, Yang Su trusted Feng Deyi very much and nodded, "You said!"
"The Prime Minister, Mencius said, was born in distress and died in peace. The reason why Yuan Qing surpassed other children was largely because he was born in distress. Therefore, the humble official suggested that the prime minister should not change his life, not treat him well, and not let his family know that the prime minister valued him and still let him grow in adversity. What is the prime minister's suggestion for the humble official?"
Yang Su is a wise man. Feng Deyi said it very well. He only needs to find a famous teacher for Yuan Qing. He really cannot let him fall into depravity in wealth and glory. He and his children and grandchildren have learned too many lessons. He nodded happily and agreed, "As the sir said!"
But Yang Su never dreamed that Feng Deyi was actually selfish. Now he is the only one who knew that Yang Su valued Yuan Qing. He had to leave this opportunity for him to be a vague person, and he would never let the rest of the Yang family know about it.
Feng Deyi's selfishness prevented Yuan Qing's life from improving at all, and he still grew up in poverty and discrimination against his clans. However, this is why Yuan Qing did not lose Chen Qiuniang, his adoptive mother. It is difficult to describe whether it is a loss or a gain in life.
. . . . . . . .
The next morning, the housekeeper found Yuan Qing, and the master asked him to go over. Chen Qiuniang knew that Yuan Qing was going to become a disciple. She specially changed Yuan Qing into a new outfit. While tidying up for him, she whispered, "You must be polite to the master, don't embarrass my aunt, remember?"
"I remember!"
Yuan Qing asked with some concern again: "Will my grandfather ask me to leave my aunt and live with my master?"
Chen Qiuniang smiled and comforted him, "It shouldn't be. Didn't you say it yesterday? Mr. Feng introduced you to an officer. Since he is an officer, he wouldn't take you away. Moreover, you are only five years old, and your grandfather wouldn't let you leave the Yang family."
Yuan Qing nodded, he turned around and looked around, but didn't see Niu Niu, so he asked, "Auntie, where is Niu Niu?"
"That little guy, if you don't play with her in the future, she will be a little unhappy. It's okay, just coax her. Go quickly! Don't let someone wait for a long time."
"Auntie, then I'll leave."
Yuan Qing followed the butler to leave the courtyard and headed towards the atrium. Chen Qiuniang kept watching his little back disappear before sighing softly. In fact, she was also full of worry. Will Yuan Qing return to her side?
When she returned to the room, she saw her daughter Niu Niu hiding in the corner and cried secretly. She felt distressed and hurriedly stepped forward and squatted down to hug her, "Niu Niu, what's wrong?"
Niu Niu's eyes were filled with tears, she pouted her mouth and sobbed and said, "I also want to learn martial arts from Brother Yuanqing!"
Chen Qiuniang hugged her in her arms, pressed her face against her little face, and said softly: "Niu Niu, I will teach you martial arts in the future, just like Brother Yuanqing, okay?"
"Not good! I want to learn with Brother Yuanqing."
Chen Qiuniang wiped the tears wrapped around her eyes and said with a smile: "Silly child, Brother Yuanqing will be back tonight. Let's compare with him to see if it's my Niu Niu or Brother Yuanqing's powerful."
"Yes!" Niu Niu nodded heavily.
. . . . . . . .
Yuanqing and the butler came to Yang Su's study room. The butler reported, "Master, Mr. Yuanqing has been brought here."
"Come in!"
Yuan Qing opened the door and walked into the study. He saw three people in the study. One was his grandfather Yang Su, the other was Feng Deyi, and the other was a young officer with dark skin and about thirty years old. The first impression he gave Yuan Qing was that he was extremely majestic. He was six feet five (one foot in Sui Dynasty 29.5 cm), with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his arms were powerful. He had a heroic and extremely calm and decisive face, his eyes were particularly slender, and a glimmer of light flashed in his deep eyes.
He was also looking at Yuan Qing, and he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yang Xiangguo's grandson would actually wear a cloth clothes. In his imagination, Yuan Qing should be rich and wealthy, but the child in front of him could not see at all. Although he was only five years old, he was strong and tall, with steady steps. He had a kind of maturity and calmness that children of the same age did not have.
He heard Feng Deyi say that this child is not ordinary fierce, but what he sees is not fierce, but a kind of stubbornness and confidence. His eyes narrowed slightly, and Yuan Qing gave him a very good first impression. This is a child who can endure hardships.
Yuan Qing knelt down on both knees and saluted his grandfather, "Yuan Qing meets grandfather!"
Yang Su saw that Yuanqing was cleaner and more energetic than yesterday. He liked it in his heart and said kindly to Yuanqing: "My grandfather told you yesterday that he would find a master for you to teach you martial arts. Today the master is here, please treat me!"
He pointed to the burly man beside him and introduced to Yuan Qing, "This is a powerful general in our army, his surname is Zhang and his name is Xutuo. You will learn martial arts from him in the future!"
Yuan Qing was shocked. He was excited all night last night. Who would his master be? Could it be Li Jing? It is said that Yang Su and Li Jing have a good relationship. Could it be one of the sixteen heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty? But those who are characters in the Romance may not be the most powerful, but he never expected that his master would be Zhang Xutuo, who was known as the last powerful general of the Sui Dynasty.
Yuan Qing couldn't help but feel ecstasy in his heart, so he turned around and bowed, "A disciple Yang Yuanqing pays homage to the master!"
Zhang Xutuo was very famous at this time, but he had not yet made his debut. He was the confidant general Shi Wansui. He had a low military position and was just a Yueqi captain. Shi Wansui was Yang Sui's subordinate. He knew Feng Deyi because he wanted to flatter Yang Su. Zhang Xutuo also knew Feng Deyi because of this. His majestic figure left a deep impression on Feng Deyi. In addition, Shi Wansui praised Zhang Xutuo for being invincible and courageous. However, he was not lucky. Feng Deyi immediately thought of recommending Zhang Xutuo as the army of Yuanqing.
For Zhang Xutuo, this is also an opportunity to stand out and be able to teach the grandson of the prime minister, which is very beneficial to his future. He quickly helped Yuan Qing up and said to him in a deep voice: "Learn from me, but you have to endure a lot of hardships. Can you bear it?"
Yuan Qing also said without hesitation: "The disciple is not afraid of suffering, but is afraid of not suffering!"
"Very good, you'll go with me now!"
Zhang Xutuo bowed to Yang Su, "Prime Minister, I will take Yuan Qing away now."
Yang Su also knew Zhang Xutuo's reputation. He narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "I only have one word, don't treat him as my grandson."
