Part 4 Chapter 216: Attack from All Sides (4)
In the southwest of Xinhua Palace, you can see the red wall of Nanhaiyuan through the gray factory street, and the mouth of Li Ge Lao Hutong is where the private residence of Yang Zhengjin, the prime minister of the empire and the Duke of Wuren, is located.
Under a row of Mediterranean-style arcades in the garden, Yang Zhengjin, wearing only a pair of swimming trunks, is lying on a lounger by the pool, enjoying a personal massage by two girls in short skirts with his eyes closed.
The girl, who was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, rubbed his loose and wrinkled skin with her tight and elastic skin, and brushed the top of his white and sparse head from time to time with her long black and soft hair, and whispered shyly and seductively, but only elicited his response as light as clear water.
"Master, the third young master is here."
Hearing the report of the housekeeper in the distance, Yang Zhengjin just closed his eyes and said "um", and lifted it back, and the two girls who were only wrapped in thin bandeau skirts immediately understood, and jumped off the recliner one left and one right.
One of them, a girl who seemed to have white European and American blood, took a bathrobe and waited for Yang Zhengjin to put it on, and another girl who seemed to have mixed with Central Asian Turkic blood brought the red wine that had just woken up, took a sip of it herself, and then carefully presented it to Yang Zhengjin.
Taking the wine glass, Yang Zhengjin nodded at the housekeeper: "Pass the third young master in." β
After that, he stretched out the waist of the white mixed-race girl, and tilted his chin at the Turkic mixed-race girl: "You go to the room first." β
The figures of the two girls quickly disappeared at the other end of the arcade, and in a moment, a handsome young man with a small Prussian beard strode up to Yang Zhengjin on his shiny cavalry leather boots. Stand still and bow.
"Father, I'm back."
Yang Zhengjin looked up and down. Nodding vigorously: "Well, Zhiyong, Wai Nanyang is really hard, you have tanned a lot this time." β
"It's nothing, I can stand it."
The person who came was the third young master of the Yang family-Yang Zhiyong, whose biological mother was originally a night school teacher hired by Yang Zhengjin for the servants and maids in the family, and was later favored by Yang Zhengjin and accepted as a concubine.
But not long after Yang Zhiyong was born. Yang Zhengjin moved Yang Zhiyong's mother and son out of the Yang family's mansion on the grounds that "now the emperor takes the lead and does not accept concubines", and placed them in a remote courtyard.
Yang Zhiyong was not picked up by his father alone until he was six years old, and a year later, his mother died of depression, and Yang Zhiyong, who was isolated and helpless, was oppressed by his brothers and sisters at home. Sometimes even the servants and maids don't take him seriously.
Holding his breath, Yang Zhiyong focused all his jΔ«ng efforts on his studies, and maintained excellent grades from elementary school to high school, but when he graduated from high school, he gave up the opportunity to be admitted to the Jingshi Imperial University and volunteered to be admitted to the Second Aviation School of the Army, starting as a flight cadet, relying entirely on his diligence and bravery. The real results obtained in exchange for gambling on his life have become a well-known ace in air combat in the imperial country, and he has been appreciated by the regent Liu Ping, who has just been appointed as the military attache in the palace two days ago, and the chief of the training section of the preparatory department of the imperial air force.
"Sit down. Let's talk. β
After Yang Zhiyong sat down on the bench under the arcade, Yang Zhengjin handed him the red wine. patted him on the shoulder: "Just think of it as a father to catch the wind for you." β
Yang Zhiyong took the wine glass, but his face was full of worries, Yang Zhengjin saw it in his eyes, and said with a smile: "It seems that someone has already taken the wind for you, and it must still be a lady." β
Yang Zhiyong panicked suddenly: "This ...... How could it be, the father smiled. β
Yang Zhengjin took two deep breaths, and said confidently: "The smell of perfume on your body has betrayed you, this kind of perfume is a royal thing in the palace, only the ladies of the earl and above are eligible to be given, you can honestly tell your father, which lady are you seeing tonight?" β
Seeing that Yang Zhiyong was silent, Yang Zhengjin raised his chin unhappily: "A manly man, dare to be, if you want to take a fancy to a young lady, tell your father, and ask for your father to come to your door for you." In this empire, there must be few families who dare to refuse this family business. β
Seeing that Yang Zhiyong still refused to speak, Yang Zhengjin stabbed back: "Of course, if you just have fun, you can't control it as a father, but you have to grasp the balance yourself, don't make any trouble, it's not good to hurt others." β
Yang Zhiyong finally couldn't help but shout: "No, Miss Ma and I are definitely not just playing......"
Yang Zhengjin frowned, squinted and asked, "Miss Ma?" Which Miss Ma? Could it be that it is the ...... of the Hou family of Qirui"
It was difficult to recover from the water, and Yang Zhiyong only simply admitted: "That's right, it is Miss Ma Suwan Ma of the Qirui Hou family." β
Yang Zhengjin's eyebrows were shocked: "Ridiculous, don't you know that this Miss Ma has already been engaged to His Royal Highness Prince Wuhe, and the wedding date is next month!" β
Yang Zhiyong hurriedly got up and explained: "Su Wan and I have made a private agreement for life as early as three years ago, we really love each other, Su Wan was only engaged under the pressure of her father, and she was confused for a while, but now she has made up her mind to be with me no matter what......"
Yang Zhengjin sighed, held Yang Zhiyong's shoulder and said seriously: "Zhiyong, this kind of woman is capricious, if you are with her, there will be no good results, listen to your father's words, break it." β
Yang Zhiyong gritted his teeth: "Father, I can't do it." β
Yang Zhengjin squinted at his son: "Then what do you want?" β
Yang Zhiyong hesitated for a few seconds, then mustered up the courage to speak: "I want to meet the emperor with Su Wan, ask the emperor to call the shots, and cancel the marriage contract." β
Yang Zhengjin stomped his feet: "Confused, Miss Ma and His Royal Highness the Prince are engaged to marry by the order of the Empress Dowager, even if it is the emperor, he can't be the master." If Miss Ma unilaterally repents of her marriage, not only will she ruin her reputation and lose the face of the Qirui Hou family, but she is more likely to be punished for deceiving the royal family - you don't want to hurt her, do you? β
Yang Zhiyong was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect the matter to be so serious, Yang Zhengjin, who had the chance to win, took the opportunity to increase his chips: "Besides, have you ever considered your future?" Although you have the grace to protect and save your life to His Royal Highness the Regent, once the matter between you and Miss Ma is made public, what will the Regent think? Without the regent's trust and support, how can you serve the center, broaden your knowledge, and pave the way for your own great future? β
Yang Zhiyong raised his head, and he still had a hard mouth: "His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is not the kind of person who abolishes the public for personal reasons...... It's a big deal that I'll go back to the front line to fight, anyway, everything I have now is from fighting with my life on a fighter jet. β
Yang Zhengjin sneered: "Do you really think that this is all earned by yourself?" Yes, you are smart, you are hardworking, you are not afraid of death, you are much stronger than your dozen brothers and sisters, and your father has long wanted you to inherit the family business, so he tried every means to protect you and create a chance for you to ascend to the sky. β
Yang Zhiyong blinked and thought about it, and froze again.
"Father, what do you mean ......"
"Have you ever thought that the ace pilots around you who have saved your countless lives have not been transferred once? Why did the regent visit the front line under a pseudonym, and every time he chose a few of you to be his personal guards? β
Yang Zhiyong looked forward to the left and right, and subconsciously clenched his fists: "Impossible, forget about Lin Ying's strange things, An Jingshi and Yang Fei, the two trump cards, were simply rookies among rookies at the beginning, obviously I and Lin Ying brought them out,"
"So you think they only survived by luck? Don't get me wrong, the Father didn't give them orders directly, they were just specially selected and unknowingly accepted the arrangements of the superiors who were useful, and in fact played a role in protecting you. β
Yang Zhengjin finished and stretched out his finger to the end of the arcade: "Now you have two choices: either leave here now, at the expense of losing the regent's trust, and at the expense of giving up my Yang family's family business, and take your Miss Ma into the palace early tomorrow morning, and ruin the future of both of you." β
Yang Zhengjin slammed down, and the corners of his mouth curved into the curve of the winner: "Or, stay here tonight, prepare a gift for your father in the room over there, and you can enjoy it." After tonight, forget your Miss Ma, continue to be your regent's cronies, and by the way, get ready to inherit my Yang family's family business. β
Seeing that Yang Zhiyong was still hesitating, Yang Zhengjin threw out the most powerful hole card: "When the time comes, your mother's grave and spirit card will also be able to migrate to the family tomb and family temple."
Sure enough, Yang Zhiyong stuck to the most rearmost line of defense, and finally collapsed in an uproar.
"Really? Can it really be? But the aunt ......"
Yang Zhengjin raised his head and smiled, his eyes seemed to reveal true feelings: "I am the master here, I have the final say-you yourself know very well in your heart that the family business of being a father can only be carried forward if it is handed over to you." β
Yang Zhiyong faced this long-awaited and unexpected praise, and kept rubbing up: "I...... I'm not quite sure ......."
Yang Zhengjin was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so he summoned the housekeeper who was waiting in the distance: "Then let's take a look at the gift prepared for you by my father first-Lao Wang, come and lead the way for the third young master." β
Yang Zhiyong suddenly realized something, his lips trembled, and his breathing suddenly became short: "Wait, father, the gift you just gave should not be ......?"
Yang Zhengjin patted his son's enviable shoulder and back muscles: "You will know when you enter, this gift is late, if it is given to you earlier, maybe there will be no trouble like today-but it's not too late, Zhiyong, I hope you are also qualified to be the successor of your father in that regard." β
"No, I can't betray Su Wan, for Su Wan, I have been clean and self-conscious in the past three years, and I have never touched a woman......"
"So you want to betray the regent, betray your father, and betray your mother? Being a father just wants you to become a real man as soon as possible, no longer be bound by the private affairs of men and women under the moon, understand the overall situation, do great things, and achieve your ambitions as soon as possible, is it wrong to be a father? β
"I ......"
Yang Zhiyong's struggle soon became weak, and Yang Zhengjin took advantage of the situation to push him behind the housekeeper Lao Wang: "Tonight, although these two peerless stunners have not yet budded, they were specially trained for you by my father." I believe that after tonight, you will have a new understanding of women as creaturesβI hope you will not waste all your hard work for your father. β
