Chapter 1 The Origin of Marriage
It is a quaint house with magnificent furnishings. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info On a large expensive bed, a young man about sixteen or seventeen years old was lying on it, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he had encountered something sad in his dream. On the side of the bed, the woman with a beautiful face looked at the young man, with a faint look of worry on her face.
"It hurts!" , Yang Shen slowly sat up from the bed, raised his hand and stroked his forehead, only to feel a splitting headache, and there seemed to be countless more information in his mind that did not belong to him. "Ahh With a bang, he who had just woken up immediately fell on the bed again.
But he didn't know that he screamed, but he frightened the girl who was standing at the head of the bed looking at him, this girl saw Yang Shen fainting, gently pushed him with her hand, and shouted: "Young master, young master!" ”。
Seeing that Yang Shen didn't react, the girl's face showed a look of anxiety, and she hurriedly ran out of the room, but she went to find the elders.
I don't know how long it took, Yang Shen finally woke up again, and at this time, he no longer had any feeling of swelling pain in his mind.
However, there was suddenly a lot of information in his mind.
Yang Shen, this person has the same name as the original him, and is the head of the Yang family, the three super gate lords of the Great Chu Dynasty, and is sixteen years old this year.
Yes, although Yang Shengui is the head of the Yang family, he is only sixteen years old this year.
Two years ago, Yang Shen's father died of illness. As his father's only son-in-law, Yang Shen is the well-deserved heir to the position of the head of the family.
Although due to the fact that he was only 14 years old, Yang Shen could not have any say in family affairs before he got married. But as soon as he gets married, he will begin to really take charge of the family.
And today is the day when Yang Shen and Ye Lingbo, the daughter of the Ye family, get married.
Hongnong Yang is the head of the three super gate valves of the Great Chu Dynasty.
Three hundred years ago, Li Yunlong, the founding ancestor of the Great Chu Dynasty, started from Cao Mang, and with the assistance of Yang Guo, the ancestor of the Yang family, and a group of heroes and heroes, he set the world to the world, thus creating the foundation of the Li Dynasty for hundreds of years.
As one of the greatest contributors to assisting Yunlong Taizu to seize the world, Yang Guo was awarded the title of Duke Rongguo after Taizu Dingding, hereditary replacement, and Qin gave Danshu Iron Scroll, which laid the foundation for the Yang family to become one of the three super gate valves of the Great Chu Dynasty.
After that, although the ancestor Yang Guo was shocked by his high merits, and his prestige in the Great Chu army was too high, he was finally inevitably suspicious of the ancestor Li Yunlong. Under Taizu Li Yunlong's many overt or implicit beatings and hints, Yang Zu began to fade out of the sight of the government and the opposition in order to avoid the fate of the cunning rabbit and the dead lackey.
But Yang Guo has been in the world for nearly 20 years in the past, and the protégés and former officials are all over the government and the opposition, and the generals and soldiers in the monarch regard them as gods, and with the retirement of Yang Zu, Taizu began to care for the friendship of the year, but also to fight against the six thousand-year-old families headed by the Ye family of Xianzhou, and feared that the heroes of the government and the opposition would be cold.
Ancestor Yang was awarded the title of Rongguo Gong at the age of 42, and because of his shocking inner family cultivation, he enjoyed a long life, and died at the age of 86.
In the forty-four years of his reign as the Duke of the Kingdom, the Yang family has grown year after year under its careful management, coupled with the intention of the royal family, and gradually showed a situation of being able to compete with the six thousand-year-old families such as the Ye family of Xianzhou.
After the death of Yang Guo's ancestors, for hundreds of years, there are many winds and waves in the dynasty, most of the heroic families who followed Taizu to fight the world in the past years were annihilated in the rolling waves of history, when Taizu was alive, the Anxing Ma clan and the Zhijiang Sun clan, which had almost been comparable to the Yang family, were also wiped out in a palace coup d'état in the national dynasty a hundred years ago.
Only the Hongnong Yang family, not only did not decline with the passage of time for various reasons, but for hundreds of years, outstanding children emerged in an endless stream, and became more and more prosperous under the management of the successive nine family heads, and after the earth-shattering changes in the palace a hundred years ago, they overwhelmed the other two super gate valves of the national dynasty in one fell swoop, and even faintly had the strength to suppress the six thousand-year-old families headed by the Xianzhou Ye family, becoming the first family in the mainland.
Today, the Yang family has become a behemoth that the royal Li family is afraid of and even frightened, and the Li family's fear of the Yang family is even above the six major families. The policy towards the Yang family has changed from the original vigorous support to the current relentless suppression.
The huge power of the Yang family in the army has made the person sitting on the throne often fidgeting since he ascended the throne.
Regarding the suppression of the Li royal family, the Yang family did not choose to go against the grain.
Today's royal family, the Li family, is far from being able to be like Yunlong Taizu back then, with the strength of one sex or even one person, to suppress the founding heroes carefully, like walking on thin ice, and the six great families did not dare to silence and lurk their minions.
Today's Hongnong Yang clan is far from the day when the ancestor Yang Guo was alive, and he had to resign from all positions in the army in the face of Taizu's hints.
In today's world, from the middle and lower ranks of the army to the captains, to the leading generals, three or four out of ten are from the Yang Gate, and there are many civil officials who run for the Yang family. Qingzhou, one of the nine states of the Great Chu State, the hometown of the ancestor Yang and the fiefdom of Rongguo, is like a sieve, up to the state pastor, the town military governor and other highest civil and military governors in a state, down to the county order and county lieutenant, and other leaders and brains who are only at the county level, are all the children of the Rongguo Mansion.
From the emperor to the far-sighted princes of the court, although in recent decades they have gradually realized that the Yang family has become a cancer of the Great Chu Dynasty, and it is a well-deserved scourge, and they have also used all kinds of means to weaken or even exterminate the Yang family, but it is precisely the Yang family that has produced talents in the past few decades, and the entire family is almost from the peak period of the Yang family since the founding of the country. Therefore, all the methods of the Li royal family were dissolved by the head of the Yang family and the elder hall. Even though the head of the family died of a sudden illness two years ago, the Yang family did not have the slightest sign of decline.
Yang Shen learned from the information inherited from his predecessor that two years ago, not long after his father's death, not long after he became the head of the family, the Li family of the imperial family thought that there was an opportunity, and even secretly drove several descendants of soldiers and horses to enter Qingzhou under the cover and dispatch of several die-hard courtiers in the court and several families of the Great Chu family, wanting to eradicate the Yang family without the knowledge of the Yang family, exterminate the Yang family and Miao descendants, and clean the Qingzhou officialdom by force.
However, under hundreds of years of operation, the tentacles of the Yang family's intelligence network have long spread to all corners of Dachu, even if the Li family of the royal family joined forces with one-third of the gate valve families in the world, and many family forces fell into the well to help cover up, this operation was still discovered by the Yang family.
After that, the Yang clan, under the auspices of the elders, took extremely tragic revenge on the forces led by the Li royal family.
Most of the generals in the Changfeng Legion, one of the four main legions of the National Dynasty, are from the children of the Yang family and their relatives and friends, and the commander of the legion, Yang Jifeng, is like a brother to the previous head of the family. Yang Jifeng forged the holy decree and the tiger talisman of the troops, and with the support of half of the generals in the army, carried out a bloody purge of the Changfeng Legion from top to bottom, but all those who were loyal to the royal family and the family involved in the fight against the Yang family this time were all beheaded. The Changfeng Legion has completely become the private army of the Yang clan.
At the same time, the Yang family wantonly arrested officials loyal to the imperial family and the men of rival families in Cheongju, and cut off their heads. This was both a deterrent and an attempt to keep Cheongju completely in the hands of the Yang family.
The armies or cities controlled by the Yang family in the rest of the dynasty also changed one after another, and the army put on a posture of attacking the county seat, county town, and even the state town, and the state and county officials wrote to the imperial court, and the rhetoric was fierce, saying "The Yang family is the pillar of the national dynasty." What we are doing now is to destroy the Great Wall and chill the hearts of the meritorious officials, and to do the cunning rabbit and death of the lackeys to our loyal people. It's for the wayless! There is no way for the king, and the ministers are afraid that there will be great changes in the world!
This is the Yang family asking the royal family, are you going to force me to rebel?
The royal family was silent.
The royal family had to be silent.
The strength of the Yang family has continued to grow over the past few hundred years, and now although it is not as good as the Li royal family, it is still possible to fight with the royal family and even burn the jade, and everyone can still do it after playing together.
After that, when the Empress Dowager went to the Rongguo Mansion in person, she talked with the elders of the Yang family for several hours, and after some bargaining, they finally reached a consensus on reconciliation.
The situation calmed down.
But after this incident, the contradiction between the Li royal family and the Hongnong Yang family can be regarded as semi-public.
The two sides tacitly agreed that the struggle between the two sides would be a long and arduous process from now on. But the next time there is an absolute certainty of which side will make a big move, it will be the time to see the dagger. Whether the Yang clan will die out or turn the family into a country will be seen.
Since the Li royal family began to suppress the Yang family, the family began to have frequent contact with the six major families led by the Ye family of Xianzhou, and gradually cooperated in business and even politics and military from the original hostility to each other.
The thousand-year-old family headed by the Xianzhou Ye family has tentacles in all aspects of the government and the opposition, and has always been regarded as a big problem by the imperial court. However, the foundation of the family is too deep, unless they can be wiped out with the power of thunder, they can easily cause turmoil in the government and the opposition and even chaos in the world. Therefore, the imperial court can only slowly figure it out, and the Yang family gate valve was supported by the imperial court in order to fight against the family gate.
It's just that the current Yang family has to unite with the family in order to protect itself.
After what happened two years ago, the elders of the Yang family decided to increase their cooperation with the family. Today's wedding between Yang Shen and Ye Lingbo, the daughter of the Ye family, is an important part of the union of the two families.
