Chapter 584 Children and Grandchildren Have Their Own Blessings!
After the dinner, everyone went back to their rooms.
In Wutong Garden, Yang Mingcheng kept frowning, wondering why Yang Zhengshan wanted him to inherit the title now.
Wang was delighted, and kept saying, "Will I be the Marquis's wife in the future?"
"Haha, I will be the Marquis's wife in the future!"
"Hehe, Marquis's wife!"
Her big face was full of silly smiles, like a fool.
"Okay, stop talking!" Yang Mingcheng was a little annoyed by her noise.
"Boss, are you unhappy? You will be the Marquis in the future, and I am the Marquis's wife!" Wang laughed.
As a village woman, her status and position rose with the rise of the Yang family, but Yang Mingcheng had never held a position in the army, so she didn't even have an imperial decree.
Like Li and Liang, they all had imperial decrees, but as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang family, she was just an ordinary lady.
Although she never mentioned these, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
Now Yang Zhengshan wants to pass the title to Yang Mingcheng, and she also wants to become a marquis' wife.
A first-class marquis' wife!
This is a super-class.
The status is higher than that of a first-class imperial lady.
Yang Mingcheng looked at this stupid woman with a depressed look in his eyes.
I am already stupid enough, why are you still so stupid!
"I am not as good as our father, and you are not as good as mother! Dad wants to pass the title to me, so we have to support the face of the Yang family in the future! Think about it!"
Wang was stunned, "Dad and mother are here, what are we afraid of?"
"You! Stupid!" Yang Mingcheng was disappointed.
"You are stupid!" Wang said dissatisfiedly.
"Since Dad passed the title to me, he must leave Kyoto. This is different from the past. In the past, even if Dad was not in Kyoto, the affairs of the court would not come to me. But if the stepfather is not in Kyoto, I will have to deal with the affairs of the court on behalf of the Yang family!"
Yang Mingcheng is stupid but he is not stupid.
Moreover, he had lived in Kyoto for so many years with Yang Zhengshan, and had seen the right and wrong in the court.
Although he didn't quite understand some things, he could see some of the tricks.
Wang also came to his senses, "What should we do?"
"How do I know what to do?" Yang Mingcheng said unhappily.
Wang thought about it, and suddenly a light bulb went off in her head, "This is not simple, when Dad is no longer in Kyoto, we will also leave Kyoto!"
Yang Mingcheng was a little confused, "What are we going to do when we leave Kyoto?"
Wang smiled and said, "We can go back to Anning County to have a look, or we can go to the farm in the countryside. Anyway, everyone knows that the eldest house of our Jing'an Marquis Mansion doesn't care about anything. As long as we are not in Kyoto, even if there is something wrong in the court, it won't find us."
"Is this appropriate?" Yang Mingcheng's brain was a little bit stuck.
Wang was a little stupid sometimes, but her brain was smarter than Yang Mingcheng's.
"Whether it's suitable or not, you can find out by asking dad!"
Yang Mingcheng nodded in agreement, "That's right, I'll ask tomorrow!"
Facing the chaotic court, the two men still have self-knowledge, knowing that they can't toss around in the court anymore, and they might accidentally fall into someone else's trap.
So the two of them thought to stay away from the court.
Let's not get involved, let's do whatever we want.
...
The next day, the imperial city.
Yang Zhengshan brought Yang Mingcheng to the imperial study.
Emperor Yanping was still the same, either reviewing memorials in the study or convening ministers for meetings all day.
Busy and busy, it seems that he has done a lot of things, but it seems that he has done nothing.
Yang Zhengshan came, and Emperor Yanping didn't even look up, just asked him to sit and wait for a while.
Li Shangxi asked Yang Zhengshan to sit down, and asked the eunuch in front of the emperor to serve tea.
Chen Zhongshu seemed to have retired. Zhang Mingzhong took his place as the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, and Li Shangxi also became the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Horse Department.
Yang Zhengshan sat at the tea table, drinking tea casually.
Yang Mingcheng stood behind him, looking a little nervous.
Although this was not his first time to see Emperor Yanping, it was his first time to come to the Imperial Study.
About a quarter of an hour later, Emperor Yanping finished dealing with the memorials in his hand, stood up and came to the tea table, and Yang Zhengshan stood up.
"Sit down! It just so happens that I have something to talk to you about!" Emperor Yanping said casually.
Yang Zhengshan sat down again, "Your Majesty, please speak!"
Emperor Yanping looked at him, "I want to bring the Martial Arts Pavilion under the jurisdiction of the Shangwu Temple, what do you think?"
Yang Zhengshan's mind moved slightly, but his face remained calm, "I was just thinking of resigning from the position of Wuzheng of the Martial Arts Pavilion! Your Majesty's arrangement is just right. Before, I was worried that after I left the Martial Arts Pavilion, the Martial Arts Pavilion would no longer function normally!"
"It is most appropriate to let the Shangwu Temple govern the Martial Arts Pavilion. The situation inside the Shangwu Temple is relatively simple, which can prevent the Martial Arts Pavilion from being involved in the court affairs."
Although he established the Martial Arts Pavilion, in fact, the Martial Arts Pavilion is no longer of much significance to him.
In the past two years, he has rarely managed the affairs of the Martial Arts Pavilion. First, he conquered the Xingyue Gate, then went out to play for half a year, and then went to Chongshan Town to lead troops. In two years, he appeared in the Martial Arts Pavilion only a few times.
As for why Emperor Yanping wanted to bring the Martial Arts Pavilion under the jurisdiction of the Shangwu Temple, Yang Zhengshan had actually guessed it.
To limit the expansion of him and the Yang family, since Emperor Yanping started to attack Chongshan Town, Yang Zhengshan knew that Emperor Yanping had become somewhat wary of the Yang family.
First, he solved the problem of the Yang family's dominance in Chongshan Town, and then he took back the Yanwu Pavilion from Yang Zhengshan.
This already means that Emperor Yanping is on guard against the Yang family becoming too powerful.
"It's good that you resigned from the post of Wu Zheng. The court has a lot of opinions about you not supporting Beiyuan Town this time. Hey~~ I know that there is nothing wrong with your actions. Even if you hadn't attacked the Wuliang King's Court, the war in Beiyuan Town would not have ended so quickly."
"But many ministers in the court don't understand this. They put part of the responsibility for the ravages of the Hu cavalry on Beiyuan Town and Longyuan on you!"
Emperor Yanping looked at Yang Zhengshan apologetically.
Yang Zhengshan muttered in his heart: "Sure enough, the emperor is not a good thing, hypocritical, cunning!"
This is not to say that Emperor Yanping wants Yang Zhengshan to take the blame. This is just an excuse for Emperor Yanping.
"This old minister understands that Beiyuan Town has fallen, and this old minister is to blame. If this old minister did not attack the Wuliang King's Court, but went to support Beiyuan Town, Beiyuan Town would not be so easily broken by the Wuliang army!"
Yang Zhengshan said in accordance with Emperor Yanping's meaning.
Emperor Yanping looked at Yang Zhengshan with approval. He still trusted Yang Zhengshan in his heart.
He had always felt that Yang Zhengshan was a wise man.
He was not greedy for merit and power.
But the Yang family developed too fast, which made him start to be wary of the Yang family.
In fact, as an emperor, it was understandable to suppress the Yang family.
The trend of the Yang family becoming bigger was too obvious. To put it bluntly, the previous Yang family had almost become a warlord.
From Chongshan Town to Tenglongwei, Yang Zhengshan could easily raise hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers.
If Yang Zhengshan wanted to rebel, the destructive power would definitely exceed the previous Qing Wang and Wuliang Wang Ting.
If Yang Zhengshan was in the position of Emperor Yanping, Yang Zhengshan would definitely do more than Emperor Yanping.
Emperor Yanping was very smart, but he was sure that he was too arrogant.
He was arrogant and thought he could control everything, which could be seen from his love of playing the balance game.
In dealing with Yang Zhengshan, he felt that he could suppress the Yang family and control the Yang family.
Perhaps it was the illusion that Yang Zhengshan's obedience gave him. Anyway, he not only did not hate Yang Zhengshan, but was more and more satisfied with him.
"This time, the old minister went on an expedition to the Wulianghu tribe, and his cultivation has improved. It may take a long time to practice in seclusion, and I can no longer serve your majesty. Therefore, the old minister recommends the eldest son Mingcheng to inherit the title and continue to serve your majesty and the court. Please allow it!"
Yang Zhengshan said softly.
The Emperor of Yanping was not surprised but happy when he heard this.
There are powerful innate warriors and innate warriors who lead troops among the nobles of Dayong, but why did they all retire?
It's because they want to withdraw from the court in advance to avoid being suspected by the emperor.
And now, isn't Yang Zhengshan's intention to withdraw from the court?
No mistakes, one sentence, one post, one content, one content, one book, one bar!
This is definitely a good thing for Emperor Yanping.
As long as Yang Zhengshan is no longer in office, his influence on the court will decrease or even disappear in a dozen or twenty years.
By then, no matter how high Yang Zhengshan's prestige is now, he will have no influence on the court.
Just like the two ancestors of Ningguo Mansion and Changping Hou, how many people in the court know their existence, and how many people still remember them.
"Haha, a tiger father will have a dog son. I have heard that Mingcheng has made great achievements. Haha, it is a blessing for the court to have Mingcheng inherit your title!"
"I agree to this!"
Emperor Yanping smiled.
Yang Zhengshan said: "I thank your majesty for your grace!"
"Thank you for your grace!" Yang Mingcheng also bowed.
Then Yang Zhengshan chatted with Emperor Yanping for a few more words, and then said goodbye and left the imperial city.
When they walked out of the imperial city and got on the carriage, Yang Zhengshan lifted the curtain and looked at the Meridian Gate of the imperial city.
Loyal to the emperor?
Submissive?
All of these!
Yang Zhengshan was still loyal to Darong, after all, he had lived as a minister of Darong for twenty years.
During these twenty years, he had made many military achievements for Darong, and Darong also brought him wealth and honor.
Especially for Emperor Chengping, Yang Zhengshan always had a feeling of gratitude.
Emperor Chengping trusted him very much, and he broke the bottom line of not conferring a title for him. Although the title was manipulated by the former crown prince, if Emperor Chengping did not agree at that time, he would not have obtained the title.
So Yang Zhengshan was still very grateful to Emperor Chengping, and even felt that a scholar would die for his confidant.
Until now, he still thinks that Emperor Chengping is a good emperor!
But that's all.
For Emperor Yanping, Yang Zhengshan did not have such deep feelings.
Although he had more contact with Emperor Yanping, Emperor Yanping could never really touch his heart.
Removing the title today means that the cause and effect between him and Darong has ended.
He didn't think he owed Darong. He trained many warriors for Darong, trained more than 100,000 elite soldiers and generals, and made great military achievements for Darong.
These should be enough to repay the wealth and glory that Darong gave him.
He looked at the Meridian Gate, a little absent-minded.
Emperor Yanping did not make a mistake in Yang Zhengshan. Yang Zhengshan did not have ambitions for Darong, but he made a big mistake.
He only saw Emperor Yanping, but ignored the descendants of the Yang family.
Yang Zhengshan knew very well that the strength of the Yang family would inevitably give birth to some ambitions that had never existed before.
Yang Zhengshan did not have these complicated ambitions, but would the descendants of the Yang family also have none?
Maybe not now, but who can say for sure in the future.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings!"
Yang Zhengshan slowly closed the curtain and sighed softly.
The ambitions of the descendants of the Yang family are already budding. The first one to show it was Yang Mingzhi. Unfortunately, Yang Mingzhi's ambitions are not big enough. He only wants to make achievements. His experience and thinking are still limited to the Darong court.
As for the second one?
Yang Zhengshan doesn't know who it will be?
The third generation of the Yang family has seven boys. How many children will the fourth generation of the Yang family have?
Twenty or thirty?
With so many young talents, backed by an extremely powerful family, will they breed the ambition to dominate the world?
The answer is yes!
Maybe the grandchildren will drag him down with him.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhengshan chuckled and shook his head.
"Dad, is His Majesty dissatisfied with our family?"
Suddenly, Yang Mingcheng asked.
Yang Zhengshan looked at him in surprise, "Why do you have such an idea?"
Yang Mingcheng looked a little gloomy, "Dad wants to pass the title to his son, and His Majesty didn't try to stop Dad!"
Yang Zhengshan looked at him, and his smile grew a little more.
"Maybe!"
It seems that it is a very common thing for a father to pass the title to his son, but in fact it has a great impact on the Yang family.
Because from then on, Yang Zhengshan had neither an official position nor a title.
He is now just the old man of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, no longer the famous Jing'an Marquis.
Even Yang Mingcheng felt a little dissatisfied with this, not to mention the other people in the Yang family.
"After Wanting gets married, your mother and I will move to Xingyue Island, and you will be your marquis honestly. If you don't like staying in Kyoto, you can go wherever you want!" Yang Zhengshan said.
Wanting's wedding date is set on September 12, and there is only more than half a month left.
"Then Dad won't come back?" Yang Mingcheng asked.
Yang Zhengshan said: "It's not that I won't come back. You can go to Xingyue Island in the future. When your cultivation reaches the Xiantian realm, I will pass the title to Chengye and then move to Xingyue Island!"
Yang Mingcheng nodded and said: "That's good. My son's breakthrough will only take one or two years!"
He still likes to be with Yang Zhengshan. If Yang Zhengshan is not in Kyoto, he will feel a lot of pressure, fearing that he will do something.
Now it was Yang Zhengshan's turn to be surprised, "So confident?"
Yang Mingcheng smiled innocently, "My son seems to have found the trick to break through, but it's always a little short."
Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and laughed: "It seems that you broke through to the Xiantian realm earlier than Dad expected!"
Yang Mingcheng's cultivation speed is definitely the fastest among the three brothers of the Yang family. Yang Mingzhi and Yang Minghao have just broken through to the half-step Xiantian realm, and Yang Mingcheng has already touched the threshold of the Xiantian realm.
Even Luo Jinsong, Ding Qiu and others have been surpassed by Yang Mingcheng.
