Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

"Come, hold me!" Yang Zhengshan reached out and held the child. The little guy was crying fiercely just now, but now he is sleeping very quietly.

"Dad, my little brother looks like his mother!" Yang Yunxue next to him came over and looked at the baby in the swaddle and said.

"Well! This kid will be very handsome when he grows up!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

The child's eyebrows and eyes are very much like Yu Qingyi, and his nose is like Yang Zhengshan, tall and straight.

I'm a father!

Yang Zhengshan kept repeating this sentence in his heart.

This is his child, his own!

Although he has always played the role of a father since he came to this world, the feeling of being a father is still different.

Looking at this little person, Yang Zhengshan's heart seemed to be filled with something.

Soon the midwife came out of the delivery room, and Yang Zhengshan handed the child to Nanny Song, and then entered the delivery room.

The delivery room has been cleaned up, and Yu Qingyi is leaning on the quilt, looking at him with a ruddy face.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Yang Zhengshan sat beside her and reached out to help her tie up the hair on her forehead.

"Where's the child!" Yu Qingyi's mind was still on the child. She just took a look at the child and the child was taken out.

"Don't worry, the child is fine. You take a rest first!" Yang Zhengshan smiled.

"Yeah!" Yu Qingyi felt Yang Zhengshan's tenderness and felt even more satisfied.

She has a son!

She is different from Yang Zhengshan. Yang Zhengshan wants a son not because he favors boys over girls, but Yu Qingyi really favors boys over girls.

She is a stepmother and she needs a son to rely on. Without a son, her position as the mistress of the Yang family is always unstable.

Now that she has a son, her heart that was originally hanging has finally been put down.

After a while, she fell into a deep sleep.

Yang Zhengshan tucked her in the quilt and gently left the delivery room when he saw that she was sleeping peacefully.

That afternoon, the news that Yu Qingyi gave birth safely spread throughout Anyuan City. Although giving birth was not a big deal for outsiders, Yang Zhengshan's status was there, and at least people in the officialdom could not ignore it.

The next morning, there was an endless stream of guests coming to the Yang family to congratulate.

The wife of the governor Lin Shoude, Lan, the wife of the military governor Xu Jin, Lin, the daughter-in-law of Song Dashan, Li, Han Cheng, Xie Yuan, Wu Chongzhe, etc., one by one, came to visit.

For a while, the Yang family was very lively.

However, those who came were all women, and Yang Zhengshan did not need to receive them personally. Yang Zhengshan asked his three daughters-in-law and two daughters to be responsible for the reception.

The women of the Yang family have become accustomed to this kind of thing.

Even the silly eldest daughter-in-law Wang can now chat and laugh with a group of official wives calmly.

Today, Wang is no longer the country woman she used to, but the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang family. In addition, Wang has been the housekeeper for many years, and she has changed from the inside out.

Yang Zhengshan was also happy to see this happen.

For a family to rise, men need to grow, and women need to grow as well.

In addition to being strong, interpersonal relationships and backyard communication are also very important for a family.

Just when the Yang family was very lively because of Yu Qingyi, more than a dozen warriors in black clothes came to Anyuan City.

In the garrison hall, Zhou Ren hurried to Yang Zhengshan's study and reported: "Sir, there is an envoy from Kyoto outside the door to see you!"

"Emissary?" Yang Zhengshan raised his head and asked, "Which yamen's envoy?"

The envoy is the envoy of the superior yamen. This envoy is not necessarily an official. It may be a messenger or a clerk, or it may be an official, but the official position is not high. It is generally a centurion and a flag officer.

The envoy usually only does two things when he comes, delivering letters and reporting.

"Sir, the person who comes claims to be a centurion of Wuxiang Zuowei!" Zhou Ren said nervously.

"What!"

Yang Zhengshan stood up in a flash, his face full of astonishment.

The twelve guards of the emperor's personal army include the four guards of Yulin, the four guards of Jinwu, and the four guards of Wuxiang.

The twelve guards of the personal army are not managed by the Five Military Commandery, but by the Imperial Horse Administration in the imperial city, responsible for guarding the imperial city and obeying the emperor's orders at any time.

Under normal circumstances, the twelve guards of the personal army will not leave the capital. If they leave the capital, there is only one possibility.

"Quick, invite the people in! Forget it, I'd better go in person!"

Yang Zhengshan could no longer remain calm and hurried out of the study.

If the soldiers of the twelve guards of the personal army leave the capital, they usually leave the capital with the imperial edict.

The Wuxiang Left Guard came here, and it is very likely that he came with the angel.

Arriving at the gate of the garrison hall, Yang Zhengshan immediately saw a dozen exhausted warriors. Before he could speak, a sturdy man in his thirties stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Qian Shangwu, the captain of the Wuxiang Left Guard, greets Lord Yang!"

"Uh, Captain Qian, no need to be polite!" Yang Zhengshan didn't know how to ask for a moment.

It happened too suddenly, and he was not prepared at all.

If he guessed right, it would be a big deal.

But if he guessed wrong, it would be a big embarrassment.

Fortunately, Qian Shangwu didn't wait for Yang Zhengshan to ask, but said very directly: "The angel is on the way and is expected to arrive in Anyuan City in another hour. Please prepare the incense table to receive the emperor's order!"

Yang Zhengshan felt dizzy when he heard this.

Receive the order!

The emperor's order!

I didn't expect that I could also receive the emperor's order!

Yang Zhengshan suddenly felt unreal.

Although he had heard a lot about the old emperor and understood what Emperor Chengping did over the years, he never thought that he would have any contact with the old emperor.

He never thought that the old emperor would know him and issue an imperial edict to him.

"Sir, sir!" Zhou Ren saw that Yang Zhengshan was stunned and reminded him.

Yang Zhengshan came back to his senses and said in a trance: "Ah, yes, yes, prepare the incense table! I'll prepare it now!"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door, but when he stepped over the threshold, he suddenly remembered Qian Shangwu who came to report the news.

"Sorry, sorry, Captain Qian, I was so surprised that I ignored you brothers!"

He turned around and said to Qian Shangwu.

"Sir Yang, you are too polite!" Qian Shangwu did not act high and mighty, but said very kindly.

"Zhou Ren, take Captain Qian to rest first, don't neglect him!"

"I obey your orders, Captain Qian, please come this way!"

"Captain Qian, I'll leave you first!"

Yang Zhengshan returned to the main hall, but he did not immediately prepare the incense table, but stroked his beard in the main hall, thinking.

He did not have much awe for the old emperor, but more of a curiosity.

The trance just now was just because the incident happened suddenly, leaving him unprepared. Now that he is mentally prepared, he calms down.

The old emperor personally issued an order?

Is he going to reward him?

But why?

Lu Chongde, Liang Chu and various generals have already received rewards, but they were all handled by the Ministry of War and the Central Army Commander's Office. The old emperor did not issue an imperial decree.

Why did he only issue an imperial decree to him?

Yang Zhengshan was a little confused, "Forget it, let's see what official position the old emperor has promoted me first!"

"The old emperor should not be too stingy, at least give me a promotion of two levels! My request is not high, just the commander of the Dusi and a lieutenant general!"

He walked towards the backyard while muttering in his heart.

Receiving the imperial edict is a big matter and you can't be careless, otherwise you may be punished for disrespect.

"Set up the incense table to receive the imperial edict!"

When Yang Zhengshan instructed Wu Hai about receiving the imperial edict, Wu Hai was also confused.

"Old, sir, how should the incense table be set?"

This is the first time, and he has never done it before!

Yang Zhengshan knows all this, "Just set it up according to the offering to heaven!"

The incense table is to place incense, candles and fruits. There is no need for three animals, just simple fruits. If there are no fruits, it is also okay to place some grains.

The reason why the incense table was set up to welcome the imperial edict was that the emperor was called the Son of Heaven and had divine power granted by heaven, and the orders issued were therefore considered to be orders issued by heaven.

Soon, the news of the upcoming imperial edict spread throughout the Yang family, and for a time, there was a commotion inside the Yang family.

Everyone was surprised and panicked.

That was an imperial edict!

For the Yang family, this was like a blessing from heaven, and people felt a little bit unacceptable for a while.

The guests who came to congratulate were also shocked when they heard about it.

Soon, the guests said goodbye one after another. There was no way. The Yang family was going to receive the imperial edict, and this was not something they could join in the fun.

Well, they left, but the news that the Yang family was going to receive the imperial edict soon spread among the upper circles of Anyuan City.

For a while, everyone's eyes fell on the Yang family.

About an hour later, the team that delivered the imperial edict entered Anyuan City.

Yang Zhengshan had already arranged people to lead the way, and soon the team arrived in front of the Yang family's gate.

This imperial edict was for Yang Zhengshan, and it was to be announced at Yang's house, not at the garrison hall.

The reason why the edict was announced at Yang's house was because the women of Yang's family were needed to welcome the edict together.

The angel who came to deliver the edict was a eunuch, probably in his forties, with a white face and no beard, and a kind look, not at all feminine as imagined.

"I meet the eunuch, may I ask your name!" Yang Zhengshan stepped forward and asked with a fist.

"I am the chief eunuch who listens to the emperor's affairs. Lord Yang can call me eunuch Zhang!" Eunuch Zhang said with a smile.

The chief eunuch is one of the twenty-four yamen in the imperial city. They are mainly responsible for accompanying the emperor. If the emperor travels, they are also responsible for leading the guards.

The eunuch who listens to the emperor's affairs is the eunuch in front of the emperor, who belongs to the fifth rank. Yes, the eunuchs in the imperial city also have ranks.

The fifth rank may not seem high, but don't forget that he is the eunuch in front of the emperor, who follows the old emperor all day long.

The seventh rank official in front of the prime minister is one level higher than the emperor.

"Your humble servant greets Eunuch Zhang!"

It is said that eunuchs are eunuchs, and officials seem to dislike eunuchs, but even if you don't like them, you have to flatter them, and Yang Zhengshan is no exception.

"Mr. Yang is too polite, Mr. Yang, please accept the order first!" Seeing his good attitude, Eunuch Zhang's smile became more gentle.

As a eunuch in front of the emperor, he also wants to save face, not to mention that he came with the order of His Majesty.

"Yes, yes, yes, accept the order first!"

Yang Zhengshan hurriedly called everyone in the Yang family to accept the order.

At this time, all the Yang family members who could be present were present, even Yu Qingyi did not stay in confinement, and dressed up to receive the order.

In fact, Yu Qingyi did not need to stay in confinement at all. With her physique and recovery ability, she could walk after a nap after giving birth.
