Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

In the study, Emperor Yanping was leaning on the soft couch and reading a book.

There was peace in the court recently, and he was happy to have some leisure time and read some of his favorite miscellaneous books.

"Old slave, please give your regards to Your Majesty!" Nan Sheng said to Emperor Yanping with a naive smile.

At this time, he was completely different from the one he had just seen in the Imperial Guard Department. In the Imperial Guard Department, he was like a vicious snake, but in front of Emperor Yanping, he was a respectful slave.

"Yes!" Emperor Yanping responded casually without looking away from the booklet in his hand.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Jing'an has entered the capital!"

Nan Sheng said softly.

"Just go to the capital and don't worry about him!" Emperor Yanping said nonchalantly.

"Your Majesty won't summon Marquis Jing'an?" Nan Sheng was a little surprised.

Emperor Yanping raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "If you see what he does, just let him go to the Zuo Army Governor's Mansion and take up the post!"

"What if Marquis Jing'an asks to enter the palace to express his gratitude?" Nan Sheng said.

It is natural to be grateful for a promotion, even if it is an overt promotion or covert promotion, you still need to be grateful.

Emperor Yanping put down the book in his hand and looked at Nansheng with a faint look.

Nan Sheng quickly lowered his head and said, "Old slave, I understand. I just said that your majesty's state affairs are heavy and there is no need for Marquis Jing'an to express his gratitude."

Emperor Yanping raised the book again and said, "It's up to you!"

"Here! Resign, old slave!"

Nan Sheng bowed and exited the study.

After he left, Emperor Yanping had a faint smile on his lips, "Has Eunuch Chen entered the capital?"

Under the soft curtain on the left side, a dark shadow swayed slightly, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Chen entered Beijing an hour ago and has now moved into Jinxiufang!"

"Well!" Emperor Yanping put down the book in his hand, stood up, and stretched.

"Go and tell Eunuch Chen that these rats are so annoying. I hope he can dig out all of them as soon as possible!"

"I don't have much patience for these little mice!"

At this time, Emperor Yanping had already discovered Nansheng's problem, but he was not in a hurry to touch Nansheng because there was still a lot of power hidden behind Nansheng.

Nan Sheng could not move until he understood this power clearly.

As for the Eunuch Chen he was talking about, he was naturally Chen Zhongshu.

An old person in a family is like a treasure!

This was the advice given to him by the emperor's uncle in Fengxian Palace.

As for the person who could be called a 'treasure', Chen Zhongshu was the first person that Emperor Yanping thought of.

Chen Zhongshu has been with Emperor Taiping for more than fifty years. It can be said that he has served Emperor Taiping for his whole life.

Moreover, he has served as the Chief of Ceremonies for more than thirty years and has been the Admiral of the Royal Guards for more than thirty years. He is familiar with everything in the imperial city. He has his own influence on the secret military guards, the court, and the entire Da Rong. Understanding and insights.

In the past, it seemed that he was just an old slave beside Emperor Taiping, but anyone with a bit of discernment would understand that this old eunuch was Emperor Taiping's right-hand man.

Emperor Taiping reigned for thirty-five years. Except for the first few years, there was no trouble in the imperial city for the next thirty years, which shows Chen Zhongshu's ability.

Emperor Yanping wanted someone who could give guidance, and Chen Zhongshu was undoubtedly the most suitable person.

Chen Zhongshu can not only give him guidance, but also help him get rid of the rats who are making moves in secret.

As for why Yang Zhengshan was transferred back to Kyoto, it was actually Chen Zhongshu's idea, because Nansheng wanted Yang Zhengshan to return to the capital, so Chen Zhongshu followed his wishes and asked Yang Zhengshan to return to the capital to see what he wanted to do.

This is also the reason why Emperor Yanping asked Zhou Lan to take over as the commander-in-chief of Chongshan Town.

Chen Zhongshu naturally knows what Yang Zhengshan has done in Chongshan Town. If Yang Zhengshan leaves Chongshan Town, he must arrange a suitable successor to take charge of Chongshan Town, and Zhou Lan is undoubtedly the most suitable person to succeed Yang Zhengshan.

Only when Zhou Lan takes over can Chongshan Town follow Yang Zhengshan's plan to develop, and only when Zhou Lan takes over will Yang Zhengshan give his full support. If anyone else goes to Chongshan Town, they will definitely not get Yang Zhengshan's support, and without Yang Zhengshan's support, That Chongshan Town is likely to turn into a mess and become an unstable factor in Da Rong.

From this point, we can also see Chen Zhongshu's scheming. Both Zhou Lan and Yang Zhengshan are within his plan.

And his arrangement kept everyone in the dark.

Yang Zhengshan didn't understand it, and Nan Sheng didn't understand it either.

…

The team slowly arrived in front of the Jingan Hou Mansion. Yang Mingcheng, Yang Chengmao and others were already waiting outside the door.

When Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi got off the carriage, a group of people immediately greeted them.

"Dad, mother!"

"Grandpa, grandma!"

"Greetings to Mr. Hou, hello to Mrs. Hou!"

Yang Zhengshan smiled and nodded to everyone, and then swept around the street.

Jing'an Hou's Mansion is located in Angui Fang, and it is surrounded by the dignitaries of Da Rong, such as Ningguo Gong's Mansion, Rong Guo Gong's Mansion, Changping Marquis' Mansion, Dongping Marquis' Mansion, etc. are all in Angui Fang.

To the west of Jing'an Marquis' Mansion is the Rongguo Mansion, and to the east is the Shouguo Mansion.

As mentioned before, the Marquis of Jingan's Mansion was the original Marquis of Wuxin's Mansion, and the Marquis of Wuxin's Mansion was once the second-class Duke Xin's Mansion, so the regulations of the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion are now the same as those of the Duke of Guo.

At this time, everyone from the Yang family came to the Hou Mansion, and many nobles around them were paying attention. Especially at this time when they were in the Yamen, many princes returning home from the Yamen happened to run into the Yang family's motorcade. .

Yang Zhengshan looked towards the back of the team and saw a gorgeous carriage slowly approaching from behind.

The carriage was moving slowly, and the curtain was opened by a hand, revealing a square face and a pair of extremely dark eyes.

Yang Zhengshan saw the other person's face clearly. He stroked his long beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and nodded kindly towards the people in the carriage with a faint smile on his lips.

The person in the carriage saw Yang Zhengshan, his face was as calm as an ancient well, and his eyes were as calm as a deep pool.

He also nodded to Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan watched his carriage leave, the smile on his face became stronger and stronger, but there was a touch of ridicule in his eyes.

Because the person who just passed by was Su Qian, the Marquis of Jingyuan.

The grievances between the Yang family and the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion are not small. It would be no exaggeration to say that they are deep enemies.

Yang Zhengshan personally killed Su Shanyu, Su Qian's second son, and Su Qian also sent people to ambush Yang Mingcheng.

The meeting today was like enemies meeting, but both of them behaved very calmly.

A gentleman's revenge is never too late!

This Su Qian is definitely not a gentleman, but Yang Zhengshan knows that he will never let go of the Yang family.

The reason why Su Qian did not deal with the Yang family in these years was because of the decline of the Jingyuan Hou Mansion. Whenever Su Qian found a chance, Yang Zhengshan believed that he would definitely eliminate the Yang family quickly.

As for why Yang Zhengshan did not target the Jingyuan Houfu, there was nothing he could do about it. The Jingyuan Houfu was in Kyoto, and Jing'an Hou Su Qian had never been in office. Even if Yang Zhengshan wanted to deal with the Jingyuan Houfu, there was no good way.

But now that Yang Zhengshan has come to Kyoto, the feud between the Marquis of Jing'an and the Marquis of Jingyuan has entered a new stage.

I just don’t know who will make the first move.

"Come in!"

Yang Zhengshan withdrew his gaze and walked into the gate of the Hou Mansion first.

Compared with the temporary palace at Chongshan Pass, the palace in Kyoto is undoubtedly much more gorgeous, larger and wider.

In terms of area, the front yard of this Hou's Mansion is twice as big as the Temporary Hou's Mansion in Chongshan Pass, not to mention the large and small yards in the backyard and the two hills behind it.

The children of the Yang family shouted excitedly as soon as they entered the Hou Mansion.

The magnificence of the Hou Mansion is one thing, and the scenery of the Hou Mansion is another.

At the level of Chongshan Town, winter is long and spring and summer are short, so there are far fewer flowers, plants and trees that can flourish and grow brightly. In contrast, Kyoto has four distinct seasons. Although Kyoto's winter is also very cold, there are far fewer flowers, plants and trees suitable for Kyoto's climate. A lot more.

In addition, there are many exotic flowers and trees in the Hou Mansion. It is March in spring, and it is the season when vegetation is sprouting. Green and tender yellow buds have already covered the branches.

It makes the gorgeous Hou Mansion more vibrant and beautiful.

The children came to a new place and were naturally excited to see such beautiful scenery.

"Grandpa, will this be our new home from now on?" Yang Wanyi, a nine-year-old girl, ran to Yang Zhengshan and asked excitedly.

Yang Zhengshan rubbed her horns with a smile and said with a smile: "Yes, this is our new home. Do you like it Wanyi?"

"I like it, I like it!" Yang Wanyi nodded repeatedly.

"Third sister, come and look, this tree is so big!"

Not far away, Yang Wanting stood under a ginkgo tree, holding her head high, opening her mouth wide, and shouted in surprise.

The ginkgo tree is not the largest tree in the Hou Mansion, but it is definitely the oldest tree in the mansion. It is much older than Darong, and Yang Zhengshan estimates that it is at least a thousand years old.

Not to mention the little girl Yang Wanting, even Yang Zhengshan was very surprised when he saw this tree for the first time.

Yang Wanyi heard Yang Wanting's cry and immediately ran over. The two little girls surrounded the tree and exclaimed from time to time.

The two brothers, Yang Chengzhang and Yang Chengyou, had long since disappeared. Yang Chengxian, Jiang Ning and Yang Mingzhao ran to the pavilion in the front yard and looked at the entire Kyoto city.

Yang Zhengshan looked at these excited little guys with a faint smile on his lips.

But when he turned to look at Wang Mingzhe who was following behind him, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

This kid had been sleeping all the way, and now he looked sleepy and looked around with a lack of interest.

"Don't you go and see!"

"Ah!" Wang Mingzhe raised his head blankly.

Seeing his appearance, Yang Zhengshan could only shake his head helplessly.

This lazy apprentice wants to return the goods.

It's a pity that Wang Yunqiao is staying at Chongshanguan now. He has no place to retreat if he wants to.

It was getting late, and everyone had just arrived at their new home. Yang Zhengshan simply explained a few words to Yang Mingcheng and Lu Shou, and then asked everyone to go clean up in their own yards.

There are many yards in the Hou Mansion. Even if all the Yang family moved here, there would still be many empty yards.

However, with so many servants and guards in the Yang family, it would not make the Hou Mansion look empty and unpopular.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi took Ming Zhao to the main courtyard. It was said to be the main courtyard, but in fact it was completely regarded as a large courtyard with five entrances.

There is a back-seat room in the front and a back room in the back. The second entrance is the Ju'an Hall. The main hall is very spacious and can be used for family gatherings. The third entrance is the Anrong Hall. The five main rooms are the bedrooms of Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi. It is divided into bedrooms, inner rooms, conservatories, study rooms, etc. Behind the main room is the fourth entrance, as well as the flower hall, study room, etc.

In addition, there are several wing rooms, wing rooms, etc. at each entrance, including kitchens, warehouses, thermal pavilions, etc.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi had both lived here before, so there was nothing unfamiliar about it.
