Chapter 297 The Chen Family Turns Against the Party
The students' faces turned pale and their worldviews suffered a huge shock.

"You are born rich and powerful, and you look down on Yingchun Academy for accepting so many ordinary people to learn skills."

"You think that only studying is the most noble, and that being an official can establish one's mind in heaven and earth and serve the people."

"Have you ever thought that if ordinary people had a skill, it would allow their family and even their future clan to have enough food and clothing from now on?"

“Isn’t it the same as establishing one’s mind for heaven and earth and one’s destiny for the people to ensure that the people are well fed and clothed?”

"Why do you feel ashamed to be associated with him?"

The students were so ashamed that their heads almost drooped into their crotches. They vaguely knew that they were put into a condom.

But there are some things they haven't seen with their own eyes, so they still don't accept it.

Cui Chaoyong sighed inwardly and began to round up his words.

"You have never experienced the sufferings of the world, but you are full of passion, so it is inevitable that you will be taken advantage of."

"Your Majesty feels sorry for your determination to serve the people and cannot bear to blame you, so he gives you a chance."

"After you leave here today, go to your own farm and suddenly go there at mealtime. Just have lunch at any ordinary tenant's house. You can have a meal there."

"After dinner, ask the questions on this paper and write them down."

"Ask yourselves, are you really living for the people of the world? Or are you just living for the family behind you?!"

"Write your answers in a letter, telling us what you have seen, heard, thought and felt, and your majesty will not bother about this matter any more."

After saying this, Cui Chaoyong pointed outside the door and said, "If you want to leave, you can go home now."

Chen Yangzu glanced at his companions and said decisively: "We want to go home."

Cui Chaoyong waved his hand, and the imperial guards made way, leading the students out of the palace and home.

Chen Yangzu was personally sent home by the commander of the imperial guards, Dai Zhifang.

When it was delivered to my doorstep, it was almost midnight.

When the doorman saw that the person coming was actually the commander of the imperial guards, he was so frightened that he ran inside and stuttered!
The head of the Chen family was shocked and hurriedly stood up to greet them, only to find out that it was a mistake.

Dai Zhifang stood outside the door waiting, refusing to go in or accept the big red envelope given by the Chen family.

He looked meaningfully at the large plaque that had been hanging on the lintel of the Chen family's door for a hundred years.

"Young Master Chen, I am here to send you back as ordered. Goodbye."

This glance was a repayment for the generous gifts given to me by the Chen family over the years.

The head of the Chen family breathed a sigh of relief, and then he raised it again.

Why is he looking at the plaque on the gate?
What is he reminding himself of?
The head of the Chen family called Chen Yangzu into the study and dismissed everyone to interrogate him in detail.

After asking, Chen Yangzu obviously had something else to ask the patriarch, but the patriarch didn't want to say anything more.

"You didn't sleep all night last night, go back early, take a hot bath, eat something and rest."

"If there is anything you want to do later, just do it according to your own wishes..."

Chen Yangzu was stunned: he originally thought that after he was called into the palace and heard such words, his father would definitely lose his temper and belittle the Minister of Revenue and the father and son of the Fu family.

What?

Suddenly not belittling anymore?

Could it be that I repeated what the Minister of Revenue Cui Chaoyong said, and my father agreed?
Although he was curious, Chen Yangzu didn't dare to ask any further questions, so he had to say goodbye and leave.

After the others left far away, the head of the Chen family called his personal follower Jin Yan over.

He bowed and said respectfully, "Master? What do you want?"

The Patriarch of the Chen Family said: "From now on, the young master's share will be the same as that of the eldest young master."

"Whatever the young master needs, it must be met."

Jin Yan couldn't believe his ears: "Head of the family?" The eldest young master is the future successor of the Chen family. No one can match this kind of treatment!
The head of the Chen family understood the shock of his followers, but he didn't care and his tone remained calm.

"Pick four more smart and sensible ones for the young master's room. They must be of good character."

"Tell the servants in the young master's room that anyone who dares to instigate the young master to do anything out of line will be beaten to death."

"You can let Shen Xing follow the young master later."

Jinyan Chenxing is the military and civil officer beside the head of the Chen family, one is responsible for security and the other for miscellaneous chores.

Jin Yan couldn't hide his shock, but he came back to his senses and said, "Yes!"

After the attendants left, the wife of the family head came in, looking puzzled.

"Master? Why did you let Yang Zu's share be the same as Chuan Zu's? And you let Shen Xing follow Yang Zu?"

In the Chen family, which has strict rules, this is incomprehensible.

The head of the Chen family looked deeply at his wife and said, "Your Majesty has taken a liking to Yang Zu... In the future, the hope of the Chen family may rest on Yang Zu."

The wife of the head of the family was shocked, but then she just nodded and didn't say much.

That is what it means to truly understand.

The head of the Chen family was relieved: the lady also came from a prominent family, her vision and horizons were far beyond ordinary people, and she could understand some of what was said.

A new emperor appoints new ministers, and the Chen family understands this.

He didn't want to go against the court, but he had no other choice!
As the head of the family, he had to maintain the integrity of the family to avoid being ridiculed and looked down upon by other families, while at the same time looking for opportunities to curry favor with the Fu family father and son without leaving any trace.

However, the Fu father and son had no close relatives, and the only close relative, Xiao Yingchun, only followed the prince, so they really didn't know how to start.

Now that the youngest son has caught the eye of Emperor Tianwu by accident, many of the Chen family's arrangements and plans will naturally have to be adjusted accordingly.

A century-old prestigious family always starts from future development, and resources are always allocated only to the talented individuals who have the best chance of success.

What family rules? They are just to restrain mediocre people.

If there is hope for family inheritance, all rules can be broken.

Chen Yangzu, who had no idea that he had been designated by his father as the future hope of the family, fell asleep as soon as he soaked in the hot water bucket.

The patriarch's personal attendant, Shen Xing, who arrived shortly afterwards, quietly stepped forward, easily picked up Chen Yangzu, dried him, and put him back on the bed...

When Xiao Yingchun learned that the Duke of Min's mansion was confiscated and the man was exiled, the first person she thought of was the girl Jialan who loved to laugh.

That girl is innocent. If she is really exiled, she will probably no longer be innocent in the future, right?

However, Xiao Yingchun was not a saint. She knew that since she enjoyed the wealth and glory of the Duke of Min's Mansion, it was her duty to share the hardships.

What the Duke Min's Mansion did would also be subject to severe punishment in Xiao Yingchun's time!
Knowing clearly that private salt is poisonous, he still sold it for his own selfish gain... If it's not the death penalty, he should be sentenced to life imprisonment!

But Xiao Yingchun didn't quite understand: "The Chen family is so against you and your son, and you still tolerate that brat from their family?"

Fu Chenan helplessly held Xiao Yingchun in his arms, with his chin resting on the top of her head.

"We did seize the world, but we also want to work for the well-being of the people, not to be enemies with the world."

Chen Yangzu of the Chen family is not a bad person, he is just too naive and lacks brains. He can be useful if he practices more.

As for to what extent it can be used, it depends on how much he can grow.

Differentiating from within the aristocratic families is often more effective than targeting all of them at once.

Xiao Yingchun understood: "It's just what our ancestors said: win over everyone who can be won over, make enemies fewer and friends more!"

Fu Chenan laughed when he heard it: "You are good at summarizing."

That's what I mean.
