Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather

In just a few days, the whole Chongshan Town changed.

The new governor Lu Chongde was given the title of assistant minister of the Ministry of War, the new general was Liang Chu, the Marquis of Changping, and the new eunuch in charge was said to be a young eunuch, known as Lu Gonggong.

The five thousand elite cavalry were brought by Liang Chu, the Marquis of Changping, from the Yunlong Guard in the northwest of Darong, a real army of hundreds of battles.

"I have to say that the court still has some courage!"

In the study room of Linguanbao, Yang Zhengshan listened to Yang Mingzhi's story and couldn't help sighing.

These news were all inquired by Yang Mingzhi. During this period, Yang Mingzhi often went in and out of Guancheng to collect news.

He likes to make friends with all kinds of people, such as the yamen runners in various yamen, some servants in the mansions, soldiers guarding the city gates, etc.

Don't underestimate these seemingly insignificant little people, they are still very well-informed.

"Dad, will this matter affect us?" Yang Mingzhi said with some concern.

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "You think too much. What are we? Are we worthy of being remembered?"

It's not that he is self-deprecating, but with his identity and status, no one would pay attention to him.

Not to mention him, even Zhao Yuan can't get on the stage.

Of course, when the upper level is shaken, the lower level will also be shaken, but he is in the left camp of the town, and Zhou Lan is watching him, so they can live a stable life.

"By the way, how is Luo Shang?"

He suddenly thought of Luo Shang.

Zhang Yude has returned to Beijing, so the Zhang family in Chongshan Pass should also fall.

Although Zhang Yude has not been convicted, the Zhang family is doomed to fail.

Zhang Yude has not been convicted because he is the emperor's family slave. Even if he is dealt with, it should be done by the emperor, and the court cannot convict him.

As for the Zhang family, everyone will push the wall down. Just wait and see. It won't be long before the Zhang family disappears in Chongshan Pass.

"I didn't see him. He seems to have gone to guard the yamen!" Yang Mingzhi said.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly. Luo Shang's son was locked up in the prison of the garrison yamen, so he must have gone to rescue him.

"Go and see if you can help in the afternoon. Since the Zhang family has fallen, there is no need for us to hide!"

Before, he was afraid of the Zhang family's power and did not dare to help Luo Shang openly, but now the Zhang family is already a grasshopper after autumn, so he does not need to worry about it anymore.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lao Li came over.

"Sir, Manager Luo wants to see you!"

Yang Zhengshan raised his eyebrows. So fast?

It seems that the speed of the Zhang family's fall is faster than he expected.

"Please come in!"

A moment later, Luo Shang brought a teenager of sixteen or seventeen to the study.

"Thank you for saving my life!"

As soon as he entered the study, Luo Shang knelt down.

Yang Zhengshan stepped forward to help him up, "Okay, I didn't save you!"

"Sir!" Luo Shang's eyes were slightly red, "Sir, you not only saved me, but also saved my whole family!"

He was really grateful to Yang Zhengshan.

If it weren't for Yang Zhengshan's advice, his family would probably be forced to death by the Zhang family.

He was the one who started those rumors, and it was because of those rumors that the Zhang family restrained themselves.

The key point was the ten days when the Zhang family restrained themselves, otherwise they would never have waited for the Zhang family to fall.

As for the reason for the fall of the Zhang family, it actually had nothing to do with the rumors. Before they spread the rumors, Zhang Yude's fate was doomed.

"Everything is over!" Yang Zhengshan patted his shoulder and looked at the boy beside him, "Is this your son?"

"Thank you, sir, for saving my life!" Luo Zhen said respectfully.

After suffering a big loss, Luo Zhen was not as reckless as before.

He already knew how big his mistake was.

Yang Zhengshan said with a gentle smile: "Don't be reckless in the future. Think twice before doing anything and think more about your family!"

"Teach me a lesson!" Luo Zhen said with his head down in shame.

"Sir, this is my thank you gift!" Luo Shang took out a gift list.

Yang Zhengshan took the gift list, glanced at it casually, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

The thank you gift was very thick, with precious medicinal materials and valuable fabrics, probably worth more than 100 taels of silver.

However, there was no Luo's cloth shop among them.

It was precisely because of this that Yang Zhengshan was happy.

This meant that Luo Shang just wanted to express gratitude, not to repay Yang Zhengshan for saving his life.

If the favor was not repaid, it meant that Luo Shang still owed this favor.

Without the cloth shop, the thank you gift was just a thank you gift, and the favor was still a favor.

If there was a cloth shop, it meant that the favor had been repaid.

"Then I would be disrespectful to refuse it!" Yang Zhengshan accepted the thank you gift.

"If you have any orders in the future, I will not refuse!" Luo Shang also smiled.

At noon, Yang Zhengshan invited Luo Shang to have a meal, and the relationship between the two deepened.

...

In the following days, the high-level officials of Chongshan Town took action one after another.

A new official takes office with three fires. The three giants of Chongshan Town took office together, so the fire will naturally burn more vigorously.

And the first fire is to reward according to merit.

Although the battle of Fushan City was a disastrous defeat, many soldiers also made a lot of contributions in this battle.

For example, Zhou Lan, such as Yang Zhengshan.

On the third day of August, Zhou Lan came to Linguanbao again after several months.

Unlike the last time Yang Zhengshan went to see her, the depression in her eyes had all dissipated, replaced by the heroic spirit of the past.

"General, is there anything happy?"

In the study, Yang Zhengshan saw Zhou Lan's eyebrows were full of joy, and he couldn't help asking.

Zhou Lan took a sip of tea and said, "It's not a happy event, but it's not a bad thing!"

"Oh!" Yang Zhengshan poured tea for her and said, "What's the matter?"

"I was transferred to the post of Lieutenant General of Jianning Guard in the middle road!" Zhou Lan said with a smile.

Yang Zhengshan was stunned.

Lieutenant General!

Jianning Guard!

Jianning Guard is in Jianzhou City, more than 100 miles west of Guancheng.

From guerrilla general to Lieutenant General, this is a promotion, but it also means that Zhou Lan left the left camp of Zhenbiao.

The fifth camp of Zhenbiao is the direct line of the general. Zhang Shouwang was the general before, and Zhou Lan was his confidant.

Now that Liang Chu, the Marquis of Changping, has been replaced as the general, it is naturally difficult for Zhou Lan to continue to stay in the fifth camp of Zhenbiao.

This arrangement is also reasonable.

Zhou Lan has the Ningguo Mansion behind him, and Liang Chu is also a nobleman. Although he cannot regard Zhou Lan as a confidant, he should also arrange a suitable position for Zhou Lan.

"What about Linguan Fort?" Yang Zhengshan asked with a frown.

What should he do if his big brother wants to run away?

Stay in Zhenbiao Zuoying?

Don't be ridiculous. Without Zhou Lan's appeasement, what can he do in Zhenbiao Zuoying?

It's not that he can't do anything, but he is not in Liang Chu's eyes now.

Zhou Lan smiled and said, "What are your plans?"

Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and said, "I want to follow the general to Jianning Guard!"

Hold the big brother tightly, don't let the big brother run away!

Zhou Lan seemed very satisfied with his answer, and then she took out a document from her sleeve and handed it to Yang Zhengshan.

"This is yours!"

Yang Zhengshan opened the document and was stunned after reading it.

"Defense officer of Yinghe Fort!"

He was also promoted.

Promoted to a thousand households under Jianning Guard, serving as the defense officer of Yinghe Fort, in charge of Yinghe Fort, Sanshan Fort, Xiangyuan Fort, and Linguan Fort!

Yes, Yinghe Fort belongs to Jianning Guard.

Just put Linguan Fort under the jurisdiction of Yinghe Fort, then Linguan Fort will belong to Jianning Guard.

Suddenly, Yang Zhengshan found it very interesting.

Zhou Lan had previously removed the plaque of Linguan Fort, and now Zhou Lan is going to put up the plaque of Linguan Fort again.

Now Linguan Fort is no longer a military camp of Zhenbiao Zuoying, but a garrison belonging to Jianning Guard.
