At [-] o'clock in the morning, in the western suburbs of Linhai, the Yang family's ancestral mausoleum.

In Linhai City, the Yang Family Ancestral Mausoleum has been listed as a cultural relic protection complex by the state.More than a dozen mausoleums of the ancestors of the Yang family in the past are hidden among the red leaves of the mountains in the western suburbs.

One of the largest mausoleums is Yang Chengye, the general who protected the country during the Northern Song Dynasty, located on the mountainside.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the entire mountain was bought by the Yang family. After that, the ancestral tombs of the past dynasties were repaired, and statues were erected for several famous ancestors. The Yang family also sent special personnel to stay here all year round. Shouling.

Since the morning, the sky has been gloomy, and after seven o'clock, it began to drizzle, covering the entire Xishan Mountain in a dense mist.

A group of men in black held black umbrellas and walked slowly up the steps paved with bluestone slabs.

Yang Tiande and Yang Tianzheng in black Tang suits, and Yang Tianming from the overseas Yang family walked in the middle of the team. Yang Lin and Su Mengqi were half a step behind. Behind them were Yang Wei, Yang Cheng, Yang Shuo and the three sisters Yang Ya, Yang Shan and Yang Wen.

The rest of the Yang family clan members, as well as other Bin Keke who were watching the ceremony, walked at the back of the line, and the whole line was more than a mile long.

On both sides of the mountain road, reporters from various media had already set up all kinds of general photographic equipment, quietly filming and recording this unprecedented event.

While walking, Yang Tianming said with emotion: "Brother, this ancestor worship ceremony of our Yang family should be the most grand one in the past hundred years, right?"

"Yeah, our Yang family has been ups and downs these years, and there are very few moments of stability. Until these few years, we have finally made progress, and it is time to comfort our ancestors."

Yang Tianming hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Brother, now that the Yang family is strong and powerful, have you ever thought about developing overseas?"

Yang Tiande shook his head without hesitation, "The Yang family has always been the Yang family of the Xia Kingdom. We are already satisfied if we can gain a foothold in the Xia Kingdom's eight domains. As for overseas expansion, I have never planned."

"But brother, it's all globalized now. If you stand still, it's not good for the future development of the Yang family!"

Yang Tiande smiled, and said disapprovingly: "The foundation of our Yang family is to 'come out of the mountains in troubled times to secure the world, and return to hermitage in prosperous times for farming'. If we blindly devote all our energy to business, our position will change accordingly. Gone."

"Brother, I don't agree with what you said. What era is it now? It's impossible for the so-called troubled times to happen!"

Yang Tianming said with a smile: "Ten thousand steps back, even if there is a chaotic world, how can we use our Yang family? The country has millions of troops, and they are all for food? If the army is not strong enough Well, what can our Yang family do?"

Yang Tiande smiled noncommittally, "Then what do you think?"

"I think we should take advantage of the current good situation to expand capital overseas, set up overseas branches, and gather all the Yang family members scattered around the world, so that the Yang family can grow stronger—"

Yang Tiande raised his hand to interrupt the enthusiastic Yang Tianming, and said calmly: "I don't have that much ambition, and I don't have that much energy. I'd better leave this kind of thing to the younger generation!"

"Alright..."

Yang Tianming closed his mouth resentfully, but a hint of evil flashed through his eyes.

Half an hour later, in front of Yang Chengye's mausoleum.

On the square that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, all the Yang family disciples stood with their bare hands, with solemn expressions.

In front of the huge bronze statue of Yang Chengye, which is more than ten meters high, the altar table is full of various sacrifices.Cigarette smoke lingered in the bronze censer.

On both sides of the square, there are stepped viewing platforms built in advance, filled with guests who came to watch the ceremony.

Yang Tiande glanced at an empty seat in the middle of the front row of the viewing platform. It was a seat he specially reserved for the big man who was going to watch the ceremony.

"Brother, the ceremony won't start until half an hour ago, why don't you take advantage of this time to say a few words to everyone? It's rare that all the Yang family members are gathered together."

Yang Tiande pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement with Yang Tianming's proposal, "Okay, then I'll just say a few words."

"Everyone from the Yang family, and all the guests attending the ceremony, I, Yang Tiande, on behalf of the Linhai Yang family, would like to express my gratitude to all of you who came to participate in the Yang family's ancestor worship ceremony!"

After a burst of warm applause, Yang Tiande began to make the opening remarks for the ancestor worship ceremony with a calm and powerful voice.

But when Yang Tiande talked about the future development strategy of the Yang family, he suddenly heard a discordant voice from the crowd.

"Old man, you are the actual helm of the Yang family, but you don't want to make progress and settle for the status quo, aren't you a bit cowardly? Aren't you afraid that the spirits of the ancestors of the Yang family will call you incompetent?"

Yang Tiande frowned slightly, and after following the prestige, he found that it was Yang Tianming's nephew, Yang Lian, who was speaking.

Yang Lin glanced at Yang Wei, Yang Cheng, and Yang Shuo's three elder brothers, but found that the three were expressionless, as if they had nothing to do with him.

"Yang Lian, when is it your turn to dictate matters about the Yang family?"

Yang Lin couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and said something coldly.

"Fifth brother, your words are a bit hurtful, right?"

With a sneer on his face, Yang Lian walked out of the queue and walked directly to the front of the crowd.

"As a child of the Yang family, this is the resting place of the ancestors of the Yang family. What right do you have to keep me from talking?"

"you!"

Yang Lin was about to speak, but Yang Tiande raised his hand to stop him: "Let him continue."

"That's right!"

Yang Lian proudly put his hands behind his back, walked squarely in front of the queue, and said:
"Our Yang family of the Xia Kingdom, since Cheng Yegong settled here in the Northern Song Dynasty, no matter how many branches and leaves spread out, we have always guarded the blessed land of Linhai, and our descendants have never been separated. Everyone must be clear about this, right?"

After hearing Yang Lian's words, the disciples of the Yang family in the sacrificial queue began to nod their heads in agreement.

The guests on the viewing platforms on both sides also began to discuss in a low voice at this time.

"Where is the Yang family going to make a fuss again? Yesterday there was an impromptu martial arts contest to recruit relatives, and today it's coming again? Isn't this scene too much?"

"Who says it's not! But there's nothing strange about it. It's said that a wealthy family is as deep as the sea! I guess this is going to be a drama of coercion!"

"Forcing the palace? No way? Isn't Yang Lin in charge of the Yang family long ago? What kind of palace is being forced?"

"Look, it's interesting!"

Yang Lian seemed to have heard the discussion on the viewing platform, and seemed even more proud. He cleared his throat and continued:

"Until the war of foreign invasion 80 years ago, in order to preserve our vitality, our Yang family had to break up into pieces and live in other places. However, the descendants of the Yang family who were displaced have never forgotten to support the family who stayed in Linhai. , often send money and items from various places to support them, this must not be forgotten by everyone, right?"

When the Yang family's children in the queue heard this, they all began to agree, "That's right, there is such a thing!"

"So, today I want to reiterate that the Yang family in Linhai was never the Yang family of a certain person or a single person, but the Yang family of all the descendants of our Yang family. Are you right?"

"Correct!"

The disciples of the Yang family in the queue had already begun to be aroused by Yang Lian's words, and their voices were obviously much louder.

"The Yang family is indeed developing better than before. There are even rumors that we have become the number one family among the eight major families of the Xia Kingdom, but I think this is exactly where our crisis lies!"

Yang Lian's impassioned words immediately calmed down the crowd again, casting puzzled looks at him.

"You must think that the Yang family is now in full swing, expelling the Hou family from the capital, and dismantling the Beiyu Feng family. How could such a great advantage be a crisis?"

"Let me tell you, it is precisely because the Yang family speaks for others in the present, blindly listens to the slander of people with ulterior motives without any opinion, advances arrogantly, and suppresses other families without bottom line, which has made us the public enemies of the eight major families!"

"Everyone knows that the eight major families have always been united in the same spirit. One prospers and the other suffers. The Yang family is so strong and has no scruples about the morals of the world. It is bound to cause the other major families to join forces to fight back. How can we resist then?"

"If the Yang family collapses at that time, what face do we have to meet the ancestors of the Yang family?!"
