With a "clang", the sword in Yang Xu's hand fell to the ground, "This sword is very heavy..."

Yang Xu was sweating profusely.

As a member of the Yang family, we must never forget our roots in swordsmanship.

Yang Yi and Yang Wu's swordsmanship were all personally taught by Yang Zheng, and Yang Xu was no exception.

However, compared to the strong Yang Yi, Yang Xu is slightly weaker.

"Your Majesty, Xu'er is young, why do you use an adult sword?" Xia Houzhi felt distressed and wanted to hug Yang Xu.

"Don't move." Yang Zheng said with a straight face, "Pick up the sword."

Xia Houzhi retracted her outstretched hand.

Yang Xu picked up the long sword on the ground.

The sword is actually not heavy, only about six or seven pounds.

However, he had been practicing for most of an hour and was exhausted, so he dropped it.

"You have to hold on to your own things, you know?"

"I understand." Yang Xu is not as strong as Yang Yi, but he has inherited the advantages of the Xiahou family. At a young age, he is well-groomed and quite intelligent.

"It doesn't matter if your swordsmanship is slower or worse, but you have to persevere. If you don't take small steps, you won't reach a thousand miles." Yang Zheng touched his forehead.

Yang Xu said the opposite: "If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't build a river or a sea. A horse can't take ten steps with one leap, and a horse can ride ten steps. The merit lies in perseverance. If you persevere, the rotten wood will not break; if you persevere, you can carve gold and stone. Father."

What the emperor is talking about is Xunzi’s Encouragement to Learning."

"Haha, you are such a talker." Yang Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, let's go play."

"Thank you, Father!" Yang Xu was overjoyed and turned around to find his companion Zhang Gui and others.

A group of children were chattering noisily.

It added a bit of vitality to the palace.

In addition to Zhang Gui, there were also Du Yu's eldest son Du Xi, Wei Guan's son Wei Heng, Wen Yang's son Wen Ji, Pang Qing's son Pang Zeng, etc.

Yang Zheng attaches great importance to the next generation, both to his own son and to Xun Jiu.

The ones chosen were also those with the best conduct among the sons of several important ministers.

It can be regarded as a reserve of some team members for Yang Xu.

Xia Houzhi said angrily: "Your Majesty was still encouraging students to learn just now, why are you slacking off now?"

"What do you know? Children's nature is to play and relax, don't push too hard, and don't be too indulgent." Yang Zheng felt that the weak kings and tyrants in history had shadows in their childhood.

"Yes, yes, everything your Majesty says is right." Xia Houzhi looked helpless.

Since he ascended the throne, the country's affairs have gone smoothly, and Yang Zheng has been able to spend more time with his family.

Children need companionship.

Yang Zheng felt that as a prince, he did not need to be gifted or talented, but he only needed to be mentally sound, have above-average talents, be aware of the suffering in the world, understand his responsibilities, and know how to use people well.

This is also Yang Zheng's bottom line. As for how far Yang Xu can go beyond the bottom line, it depends on his own qualifications.

At present, it seems that Yang Xu is definitely worth looking forward to.

The bloodline of the Xiahou family is not bad to begin with.

"Your Majesty, the eldest, second and third are all married, isn't it time for Xu'er to make arrangements?" Xia Houzhi said leisurely.

Yang Zheng almost sprayed her face with a sip of tea, "Xu'er is only nine years old!"

"What's wrong with the age of nine? People are married on the tip of their fingers before they are even born." Xia Houzhi rolled his eyes at him out of habit.

Of course Yang Zheng knew what she was thinking, and behind Yang Yi was the huge strength of the Qiang and Hu people.

Yang Wu was good at civil affairs and had good relations with the gentry.

Yang Hong already had the title of celebrity at a young age.

Yang Xu is somewhat weak.

Ten years ago, the Xiahou family was the top family, but now it is not as good as before. The Sima family did not touch them openly, but secretly continued to suppress them. In the past few years, the Xiahou family has not produced an important minister worth two thousand dan.

When Sima Zhao came to power, in order to show off, he reused Xiahou He.

But Xia Houhe sat crookedly and sided with Sima Lun. Sima Yan conferred the title of Guang Luxun on him.

The Xiahou family was even more helpless in Qin.

Xia Houxu is a single seedling, but this single seedling and Yang Yi are sworn brothers, and it is unclear which side they will side with in the future.

How could Xia Houzhi not be worried?

"Whose daughter do you like?" Yang Zheng didn't object much.

A naked prince will not be able to seize the power of Qin in the future.

"Du Yu's eldest daughter, Du Miaoru." Xiahou Zhi's piercing eyes revealed the nervousness in her heart.

Yang Xu is her son, but he is also Yang Zheng's son.

Since you have established yourself as a prince, of course you have to think about him.

The Du family was originally a noble family in Guanzhong, and Du Yu was an important official among the important officials. His ability, virtue, merit, power, and reputation were among the best in the world.

The prince has a father-in-law like him, and his back is strong.

"This matter..." Yang Zheng frowned deliberately.

"Xu'er is already nine years old, and it will be twelve or thirty-four soon. Day by day, people are getting married at the age of twelve or thirteen."

This is the truth.

Yang Zheng always felt that it was a little too hasty.

He also hopes that Yang Xu can have his own lover like Yang Wu.

After all, a happy marriage is also a great help in life and career.

But as a prince, these things are something you can only meet but cannot ask for.

Yang Zheng is in his prime. He has always been in good health and has no illness or disaster. He also pays attention to exercise. There should be no problem in living to sixty or seventy. If you try hard, it is not impossible to live to eighty or ninety.

These thirty or forty years of escorting the State of Qin and the Crown Prince are enough.

Despite the chaos of the Three Kingdoms and the outbreak of plague, there are still many people who live long lives.

Huangfu Longdu was over one hundred and ten years old, and he was still very active. He had a set of health-preserving techniques, and Wei Wu once asked him personally.

"Your Majesty, please promise me this time."

This made the palace maid next to her blush and retreat voluntarily.

Xia Houzhi was naturally beautiful and took good care of herself. At her current age, she has a mature and graceful look with a bit of a girlish charm.

Time has not left many traces on her body. She is fat where she should be fat and thin where she should be thin, just right...

"I agree, but I still have to wait two years before I go to Du Yu in person."

Marrying Du Yu would also be good for the old Yang family.

The royal family should have been the largest noble family.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xia Houzhi was overjoyed.

Yang Zheng hugged her. Although the harem was growing and there were several talented Hu women in the Western Regions, Yang Zheng had always had a soft spot for Xia Houzhi.

"Oh, in broad daylight..." Xia Houzhi looked shy.

Yang Zheng smiled and said, "Then let's go into the house?"

Xia Houzhi buried her head in Yang Zheng's arms very shyly.

The little flame in Yang Zheng's heart was rising.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Pang has a military report..." Xiao Huangmen hurried over.

Yang Zheng was stunned, feeling that every time he was in high spirits, Pang Qing would come on time?

I took off my pants last time...

Xia Houzhi hurriedly got out of Yang Zheng's arms, blushing, "Your Majesty, you should give top priority to state affairs."

"State affairs are the most important thing. State affairs are the most important thing." Yang Zheng could only do this.

If it wasn't a major military situation, Pang Qing wouldn't bother him at this time.

When he turned to leave, Xia Houzhi laughed loudly behind him.

Pang Qing waited in the council hall for a long time, and saw Yang Zheng staring at him blankly, with a puzzled look on his face, "Your Majesty, is your Majesty unwell?"

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." Yang Zheng looked back.

Pang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "Jingzhou, the war is about to begin!"
