Chapter 5 Master

The reason why Yang Kang did not maintain his usual low-key style is because he really wanted to make Bao Xiruo happy.

The woman put almost all her efforts on him, and because of the last poisoning incident, the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital diagnosed that Bao Xiruo was afraid that he would never be able to have children again.

This was the main reason why Wanyan Honglie was so angry at that time.

Yang Kang's approach has achieved remarkable results. Without the mother who is not happy about her son's intelligence, Bao Xiruo's mood became cheerful when he looked at Yang Kang's well-behaved and sensible appearance.

Bao Xiruo's mood affected Wanyan Honglie. He thought that since that was the case, it was time to hire a master for Yang Kang.

There are generally two ways to educate children of the royal family in the Jin Dynasty. One is to study in the Imperial College under the Ministry of Rites and learn Jurchen and Chinese. This is the way for most children of the clan to learn.

Another type is to invite famous officials or scholars to teach in the mansion.

Given that Yang Kang was still young and Wanyan Honglie had a poor relationship with the clan forces, in order not to let the children be bullied, the second method was adopted.

On this day, Yang Kang was taken to Wanyan Honglie's study and saw a young man with a handsome appearance. He didn't know that the person in front of him was Yelu Chucai, the prime minister who assisted Temujin in the future to unify Mongolia.

Yelu Chucai is not famous because he is the father of Yelu Qi and Yelu Yan, but because of his own talent.

He was originally a descendant of the Khitan royal family. After the fall of the Liao Kingdom, his ancestors lived in the Central Plains for a period of time, and later became a nobleman of the Jin Kingdom and lived in Zhongdu.

His family has a lot of knowledge and has been well-read since childhood, proficient in Chinese, and has been involved in various miscellaneous studies.

At this time, the center of northern economy and culture was the center of the north. Emperor Wanyan Jing tried his best to promote the sinicization, making Chinese studies a hot topic that high-ranking officials and nobles. Yelu Chucai often attended various literati gatherings and gradually gained fame.

This is the reason why Wanyan Honglie looked for him.

Wanyan Honglie not only wanted to find a master for Yang Kang, but also found a capable aide for himself. Of course, this requires a long time to observe to see if this person deserves his name.

Yelu Chucai knew that this was an excellent opportunity. In the fierce palace battle before the New Year, Wanyan Honglie gained a great advantage and was likely to become the future emperor.

Although this time, he was a master for the little prince, it was a good springboard. He could not only participate in Wanyan Honglie's daily affairs, but also influence the next generation of emperors of the Jin Dynasty.

Decades later, the title of Emperor Master will bring him great fame and power.

Of course, there are risks in this. If King Jiang Wanyan Hongyu becomes the emperor in the future, then his fate and his family will be very tragic.

Yelu Chucai, who had just turned 18, stood in the study and agreed after only less than ten breaths. He decided to seize this opportunity.

Wanyan Honglie was very satisfied with this and asked someone to bring Yang Kang over to prepare for his apprenticeship.

This is to decide on this matter. The real apprenticeship should be more grand. At least some famous nobles should be invited to testify. That is a time to choose a certain day and not to act hasty.

Yang Kang knelt on the ground and kowtowed and offered a cup of tea.

He thought he would find a white-bearded old man to be a teacher for himself, and he shook his head and recited "Zhihuzhe" every day, but he didn't expect that he was a young man and couldn't help but feel curious.

After the ceremony, Yelu Chucai symbolically asked a few simple questions, and Yang Kang answered them one by one, truly respecting the teacher and respecting the Tao.

It was not until Yelu Chucai left and Wanyan Honglie introduced the master in detail to him that Yang Kang found the character from his memory and was shocked.

What surprised him was not that Yelu Chucai later became the prime minister of Mongolia and achieved great achievements, nor that he gave birth to Yelu Qi and Yelu Yan, but that he never remembered that Yang Kang's master was such a big man.

What is the biggest fear of as a time traveler? It is the change of history.

If history changes, his advantage will disappear. How can he realize the various thoughts that have been circling in his mind?

When he returned to the room with anxiety, he recalled carefully that it seemed that the story did not mention who Yang Kang's childhood teacher was. Except for the opportunity Qiu Chu to teach him martial arts in the future, Yang Kang's childhood was blank.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved and continued to have his beautiful dreams.

In fact, if Yang Kang would follow the normal procedures to go to the Imperial College to go to school with other clans, he would not have met Yelu Chucai, nor would he have such a famous master in the future.

Just because Yang Kang wanted to please his mother, he changed the direction of history, which was the butterfly effect.

Yelu Chucai's teaching method is a bit strange. In Yang Kang's opinion, it seems a bit like Confucius' meaning of teaching according to his aptitude. After learning about Yang Kang's learning progress, he did not explain something deeper, but took him out of the royal palace to contact the outside world.

Before coming to the Zhao Prince's Mansion, Yelu Chucai inquired about this little prince, who is said to be a child prodigy who can memorize the "Thousand Characters" as if he were to memorize the "Thousand Characters".

He has no idea about the prodigy. He is a prodigy himself. It is a pleasure to be able to teach a prodigy. He is worried that the rumors will be wrong, so he should not encounter a arrogant and savage little prince. There are many such playboys in the royal family of the Jin Dynasty.

Fortunately, Yang Kang is not bad, at least he has not done anything incredible, and he is clearly organized and has a decent attitude when answering, which is very rare for a four-year-old child.

I heard that the princess’ past education was the responsibility of the princess, and he not only became curious about the Han princess who had been hiding in the Zhao palace.

In the upper class of Jin Dynasty, Princess Zhao was a strange existence. She rarely appeared in public vision and would not go to other palaces. Except for occasionally entering the palace to meet Princess Li Shier, she rarely appeared.

There are many rumors about her, but since Wanyan Honglie executed so many people with ruthless means that everyone knows that Princess Zhao is Wanyan Honglie's rebellious scale, and no one is willing to touch it.

At a royal banquet, Wang Rong, Wanyan Hongxi, who had always been in love with Wanyan Honglie, said a joke about Princess Zhao after being drunk, which made Wanyan Honglie leave without giving him any face.

These things can only be scattered in my mind. Yelu Chucai dared not touch the taboos of future emperors, so he should do his job well first.

After learning about Yang Kang's current situation, he felt that it was too difficult to teach "The Analects of Confucius" and other things now. Children would not understand it at all, and they would feel bored. So he decided to take Yang Kang outside to have a walk and let the little prince experience the sufferings of the people.

He is an aspiring person. If he wants to achieve something, the current Jin Kingdom needs a powerful emperor to make changes, otherwise he will go to a decline.

He could not influence Wanyan Honglie's decision, so it would be feasible to make a certain impact through this little prince indirectly.

This is the subtle effect.
