"I'll start with bad news."

Yang Yue glanced at everyone, and when everyone quieted down, he said slowly in a heavy tone, "The head of the family has been promoted to Shangshu Ling, although he is glorious, he no longer has any power, in other words, the good days of our Yang family are over." ”

For all the people in the Yang Mansion, the head of the family, Yang Su, is their heaven, is the source of their status and wealth, once the head of the family loses power, the status of the Yang family will immediately become dim, although Yang Yue did not say it explicitly, but the children of the Yang family understood the meaning of his words, and the head of the family has been suspected by the saint.

There was silence in the lobby, and a large stone was weighing heavily on everyone's hearts.

Yang Yue continued, "Today the Holy Lord called me there, and he told me very frankly that our Yang family has a character who makes him hate, that is, this concubine Yang Yuanqing, he interfered in the family affairs of the Holy One, but the Holy One didn't want to punish him, saying that he was too young, and hoped that our Yang family would give him an explanation." ”

After Yang Yue said this, there was a sudden discussion in the hall, the sound became louder and louder, and finally became boiling, and everyone's faces were extremely angry.

Yang Jishan stood up and said loudly, "I also heard that it was because Yuanqing interfered in the family affairs of the saint and angered the queen, Empress Xiao specially summoned her sister-in-law and ordered her to strictly control Yuanqing, not only that, but also about the nobles of Long, because of He Ruobi's death, they already hated the Yang family, these are all great disasters caused by Yang Yuanqing." ”

Regarding the hatred of the Guanlong nobles for the Yang family, Yang Yue knew that it had nothing to do with Yang Yuanqing, it was his eldest brother Yang Su who was the pioneer for the first emperor, and the Yang family offended the Guanlong nobles at that time, but he didn't know that Yang Yuanqing offended Empress Xiao, so he asked Yang Xuanzong, "Is it true that he offended Empress Xiao?" ”

Yang Xuanzong nodded. "It should be true. I've heard my eldest brother talk about it. ”

"This son of a!"

Yang Yue gritted his teeth for a while, he always felt that the saint was embarrassed that he should have a reason, now it seems. It is very likely that Yang Yuanqing caused trouble for himself, and the saint took his dissatisfaction with Yang Yuanqing out of his anger.

"Now that I have decided to severely punish this rebel in the family ancestral hall, does anyone have any objections?"

"I didn't do it properly, I should wait for the head of the family to come back."

Although Yang Xuancheng still disapproves. But his tone had softened a lot, he had already felt the anger of the entire family, and he didn't want to anger everyone for the sake of Yang Yuanqing, so he paused and whispered, "I think I should at least ask the eldest brother what Xuan Gan means." ”

But Yang Yue couldn't wait, and the saint said that he didn't want him to be requited for the third time, and he had to give the saint a 'jiāo' before tomorrow morning. It's just that Yang Xuan's award is also reasonable, Yuan Qing is the son of Xuangan, at least ask Xuangan's opinion.

At this time, Yang Rong, who was sitting in the last place, stood up. To everyone, "Just now my mother asked me to bring a message to everyone, our family firmly supports the family's decision, and my father will not object. ”

Yang Yue nodded, this is the best, he asked the second brother Yang Shen next to him, "Second brother, what do you think?" ”

Yang Shen has been closing his eyes and recuperating, his health is not very good. He never asked about family affairs, he only looked at the opinions of a few sons.

"I have no opinion!"

"Then it's decided!"

Yang Yue stood up and said to everyone, "I'll explain to the head of the family." Severe punishment according to the second of the ten punishments of the clan rules! ”

Yang Xuan's face changed, and this punishment was inevitably too ruthless.

．．．．．．．．．

Yang Yuanqing returned to Yang's mansion. It was almost dark, and the front of the house was full of Yang Mansion family members, and Yang Yuanqing's arrival made them feel like they were facing a great enemy, and nearly 100 people surrounded them.

Yang Yuanqing smiled at them, "I'm coming, you can't stop me, I'm leaving, you can't stop it, He Ruobi's family was killed by me on the spot Eighty-seven people, none of them were injured, all of them were killed on the spot, just with more than 100 of you, it's still far away!" ”

"Yang Yuanqing!"

Yang Xuan's 'ting' walked out of the big 'mén', and his face sank, and said, "You must not be so rude!" ”

Yang Yuanqing bowed to him, and said lightly, "Sixth Uncle, this may be the last time I call you Sixth Uncle, thank you for changing my aunt's nationality back then, I have always kept it in my heart, and I will have my own reward in the future." ”

Yang Xuan'ting' saw that Yang Yuanqing was not good, and knew that it was difficult to have both today, the third uncle's firm attitude and Yang Yuanqing's toughness were estimated to provoke a big 'luàn', he sighed secretly in his heart, and said to Yang Yuanqing, "You come with me!" Today is in the family ancestral hall, and the family elders want to ask you something. ”

Yang Yuanqing sneered, he was actually in the family ancestral hall, and it seemed that he was going to use the clan punishment against him today.

He strode towards the Yang Mansion, more than 100 family members followed him, besieging him in a semicircle, holding knives, sticks and shields, and many family members holding bows and arrows, staring at Yang Yuanqing fiercely, but no one dared to approach him, Yang Yuanqing's threat of killing eighty-seven He Ruofu family members on the spot made each of them timid in their hearts.

"Yuanqing!"

Yang Xuanyu appeared from the side of "mén", and he hurried forward to complain, "What are you doing when you come back?" You should go to Luoyang to find your grandfather, you go now, I will take care of everything for you. ”

Yang Yuanqing didn't expect that Yang Fuzhong was still a caring person, a Yang Wei who had fought since he was a child, but at the critical moment, he showed a righteous side, and the third uncle in front of him was good to him since he was a child, he was an official outside, and he would give him a lot of New Year's money when he came back every New Year.

Yang Yuanqing was moved in his heart, he shook his head, "Third uncle, I knew that this day would come sooner or later, and it was time to settle accounts for the end." ”

"But... Do you know what condemns you? Stealing family property, bullying mothers, and bullying the king, the Yang family has not had such a serious crime for more than ten years! ”

Yang Yuanqing was very calm, he arched his hand and smiled, "Thank you Third Uncle for your righteousness, Third Uncle treats me well, and I, Yang Yuanqing, will repay me in the future." ”

He gently pushed Yang Xuanxue away and strode towards the ancestral hall, Yang Xuanxuan looked at his back, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, "Yang family! Why is it so short-sighted? ”

．．．．．．．．．

The ancestral hall of the Yang family is in the ancestral house of Hongnong Temple, and each room has its own small ancestral hall, the ancestral hall of the Yang Mansion is a branch ancestral hall, which enshrines Yang Su's great-grandfather Yang Jun, grandfather Yang Xuan, father Yang Fu, and all the ancestors of their house.

The ancestral hall is located in the east courtyard of Yangfu, which is an independent courtyard and is enshrined at all times. All are excellent fruits and pastries. When Yang Yuanqing was a child, he often brought Niuniu to steal the cakes and fruits here, and at that time, in his heart, the ancestral hall had nothing to do with him.

Although he is very familiar with this place. But in fact, to this day, Yang Yuanqing has not participated in the clan sacrifice once, the rule of the Yang Mansion is to participate in the clan sacrifice at the age of twelve, but he has not been in the house since the age of ten.

The ancestral hall is divided into two buildings, the front and the rear. The front hall is called the clan hall, which is a place to discuss family affairs and a place to punish the children of the family.

The lobby behind a cornices arch beam is the mourning hall, which enshrines the spirit cards of dozens of deceased ancestors within four generations, usually does not open, only in the annual Yuanzheng, autumn equinox, summer solstice, winter solstice four festivals, called 'time enjoyment'. Among them, the yuan is the 'beginning of the year', and the winter solstice is the 'return of the yang', so these two festivals are the most important.

The Yang family temple will also be opened during these four sacrificial times for the clansmen to worship their ancestors.

The place where Yang Yuanqing is going to be punished today is located in the clan hall. The clan hall is solemn and solemn, the "sè" tone is dominated by black "sè" and gray "sè", the huge curtain is dragged down from the roof, there are no beautiful decorations of "jing", only the wooden signs hanging on the wall are eye-catching, the wooden signs are engraved with thin small characters, which are the bad deeds of the children of the Yang Mansion who have been punished for decades, there are three rows. The sizes vary, and the top row is a big brand. There were only three pieces in total, and that was the most severe punishment. They violated the first three of the harshest tribal rules.

'Kill your father and kill your mother; deceiving one's father and betraying one's ancestors; Bullying the king'

The ancestral hall is a special place, regardless of the usual official position, only according to the seniority to talk about qualifications, usually just do small business for a living side of the side branch, to the ancestral hall, it is likely to become a noble status of the elder, here is not the Sui Dynasty's "Kaihuang Law", only according to the family rules to do things.

At this time, the clan hall was brightly lit, more than a dozen red lanterns illuminated the hall as if it were day, nearly 100 Yang Mansion disciples stood densely on both sides of the hall, everyone changed into a black "sè" sacrifice dress, wearing a square hat, wearing black leather boots, although it was not a sacrifice, but entering the ancestral hall, you must change the sacrificial robe.

There are two single couches in the middle, one is the position of the head of the family, the other is the elder with the highest seniority, the head of the family Yang Su is not there, the second head of the family Yang Yue is temporary, and there is a thin old man sitting next to him, about eighty years old, he is Yang Su's cousin Yang Tieshan, and he is also the oldest person in the entire Yang family, many people don't like him, this is a vicious, unscrupulous person, so old, and married a fifteen-year-old maid as a concubine.

Below are two rows of eight seats, sitting seven of the older elders in the Yang Mansion, and there is also a seat that should be the seat of the eldest son Yang Xuangan, but Yang Xuangan is not there, so his wife Mrs. Zheng will take his place.

Behind these eight seats, there are nine punishers on the left and right, holding whips and sticks, and the family punishments are mostly 'bāng' beatings and whipping 'chou', followed by confinement, ten days or a month.

There was a whisper of "si" in the clan hall, and Yang Yue had already told the elders of the clan about Yang Yuanqing's crimes one by one, which was summed up in three articles.

The first is to steal the family wealth, which means that Yang Yuanqing got a thousand acres of fertile land, according to the clan rules, more than 100 acres of fertile land is divided, and it must be discussed and approved by the family meeting before it can be granted, and the land obtained by Yang Yuanqing has not been discussed by the clan, in fact, this should be Yang Su's responsibility, but no one dares to find trouble with the head of the family, so he can only put this crime of stealing on Yang Yuanqing's head.

The second is to bully the mother and be unfilial, this is the crime put forward by Mrs. Zheng, not kneeling to the mother, disobeying the mother's discipline, and confronting the face, this crime does not need to be investigated, as long as the mother reports, it will be confirmed immediately.

The last is to deceive the monarch, which is also the heaviest and most important crime, proposed by Yang Yue, Yang Yuanqing participated in the emperor's family affairs, was dissatisfied by the emperor and queen and the hatred of the prince, endangering the interests of the entire family, this article was confirmed by Mrs. Zheng and grandson Yang Rong, and the crime was imprisoned.

In fact, Yang Yuanqing's three charges have been confirmed, and he is waiting to be convicted in court.

At this time, the sound of footsteps sounded quickly, and the lobby suddenly quieted down, only to see Yang Xuan "ting" walking in quickly, bowing down and saying, "The third generation of grandson Yang Yuanqing has been brought!" ”

"Bring him in!"

Yang Yue gave an order, and more than a dozen family members brought Yang Yuanqing up, not so much to bring him up, but to follow him up.

There was neither a rope tie nor a change of interrogation linen, so he walked in calmly, causing a "si" voice to sound around him, Yang Tieshan's eyes widened, "Why don't you change clothes and tie up?" ”

Sitting on the second on the right is Yang Xin, a clan brother of Yang Su, his family lives in the West Cross Courtyard, and he has been very familiar with Yang Yuanqing since he was a child. ”

"No way!"

Yang Tieshan refused to forgive, he said with an angry face, "The rules can't be broken, strip off your clothes and change your sackcloth, tie them up and ask for guilt!" ”
