In the 350th year of the Gregorian calendar, there are no more children doing morning exercises on the balcony of Yuling Peak. It’s not that the ninth direct generation of the Yang family hasn’t been born yet, but because there are too many.
This problem is not obvious to Yang Chengyi and others, but there are more than ten direct descendants of the ninth generation of Tianzi, Yang Chengyi's four brothers and sisters alone.
It was Yang Hongyuan who had spoken early and asked all the grandsons of the Tian generation to go to Jinling Peak to practice with the family's children every day.
And Yang Chengzhao is also very less interested in his ninth-generation grandson. Firstly, the generations are too far apart, and secondly, there are too many.
Therefore, the Jiushitian generation is not as valuable as Yang Shengdao, Yang Xinghua, and Yang Chenglie. Yang Chengyi has given birth to five children in the past fifteen years alone, the eldest is Yang Tianchen, the third is Yang Tiangang, the fourth is Yang Tianfang, the ninth is Yang Tianling, and the twelfth is Yang Tianshou.
Of course, this ranking was made by the four brothers and sisters of Yang Xinghua. After all, there are many direct descendants from Yang Hongyuan's line, let alone Yang Huairen's line.
This is the reason why Yang Hongyuan insisted on having fewer children, but the Chengzi generation has relaxed a little, and there are more than ten direct descendants of the Tian generation of Yang Shengdao and Yang Xinghua.
This does not include the lineage of Yang Shenglong and Yang Xingsong, let alone the lineage of Yang Hongxuan. It is conceivable that by the time the tenth generation of emperors reaches the throne, there will be more direct descendants.
If you have too many grandchildren, unless you like them, no matter how much Yang Chengzhao likes having more children, he will never be able to love them.
After Yang Chengyi and Wang Xifeng got married, Yang Chengxi and others also got married one after another. Yang Chengxi married the legitimate daughter of the Qi family of the Qi Chu sect, while Yang Chengjiao married the legitimate daughter of the Chu family.
This is why the Qi Chu faction saw that the Zhuge family and the Zhenwu sect were growing increasingly prosperous, and they took the initiative to form a marriage, and they also saw a lot of benefits.
Among them, Chen Ji was the one who won the beauty among all the competitors and married Yang Chengyan. Over the years, he has given birth to two sons.
The rest, Ouyang Yan, Zhang Bo, Ning Shijie, Xiong Changfeng, Yu Mingxian, Changsun Xiu and others, all married legitimate daughters of the Yang family.
However, the legitimate daughters married by Ouyang Yan, Zhang Bo, and Ning Shijie and Yang Chengyi have already entered the fifth server. This was naturally Yang Hongyuan's intention, after all, their son had to add another layer of growth.
Yang Hongyuan didn't care much about this matter. After all, the Yang family had been passed down for nearly a thousand years starting from the ancestor Yang Yuan.
There have been five services among each branch and lineage, and people with the same surname Yang have already gotten married. As for Yang Tianchen, the ninth generation heir, the resources he enjoyed were far inferior to those of Yang Chenglie and Yang Xinghua.
On the one hand, it is natural that they cannot compete with their father and grandpa. On the other hand, the resources that Yang Chenglie and Yang Xinghua can provide have been diluted a lot.
In this regard, Yang Hongyuan said this, the inheritance of the Yang family is not necessarily inherited by the eldest son. At the beginning, from the first generation Jing Zhao Taizu to the second generation Decheng Gaozu, and then to the third generation Yang Chengzhao.
The reason why he has always insisted on the eldest son's inheritance is to strengthen the legal authority of the Yang family's five families and ten bloodlines, and at the same time to stabilize his own lineage's position in the entire Yang family.
From then on, the fourth generation Yang Huairen and the fifth generation Yang Hongyuan were succeeded by their eldest sons. On the one hand, they continued and strengthened this legal tradition.
On the other hand, Yang Huaili and Yang Hongxuan were sent to Shaking Heaven Sect early, and there was no competition at all.
When the sixth generation Yang Shengdao and the seventh generation Yang Xinghua became the direct eldest sons, they were Du Miaomiao. With the support of the elders above, they were the definite heirs of the Yang family.
Of course, the most important thing is that the seventh-generation direct elder is not only a direct descendant, but also a virtuous person!
With his talent and prestige, he could easily inherit the position of head of the Yang family. In this way, until the eighth generation, there is a hidden danger of family heads fighting among themselves.
Because there are three legitimate sons of Yang Xinghua, Yang Chenglie easily subdued Yang Chengxi and Yang Chengjiao with his own ability.
Coupled with the importance of Yang Chengzhao, Yang Hongyuan, Yang Shengdao, and Yang Xinghua, the status of the eighth-generation eldest son Yang Chenglie is also unshakable.
But by the ninth generation, the hidden dangers of family head disputes became prominent. Not to mention that Yang Chenglie had three sons and two daughters, judging from Yang Xinghua, there were more than ten grandchildren.
Then the Tian generation received less and less favor from their ancestors, and the competition was even greater. In this regard, Yang Shengdao and Yang Xinghua were even more impressed by Yang Hongyuan's foresight, and they made it a rule that the head of the family would take the name of the next head of the family.
However, although this reduces the hidden danger of family heads fighting, it only pushes them down one generation, and there will still be competition.
How to ensure that the young head of the family is established? Who can guarantee that every generation of direct descendants will be people with excellent qualifications and good conduct.
In this regard, Yang Hongyuan gave four words: virtuous and neutral! There are more than ten people of the Tian generation in Yang Xinghua's lineage, and it is said that they are all qualified to succeed as the head of the family.
In this case, we should first compare talent, character, and ability, and finally establish it based on the direct descendants. One generation does the same thing as the other. Yang Hongyuan left these words alone and ignored them. Yang Shengdao also started practicing in seclusion at Yuling Peak.
It is so obvious that how to establish a fair and just succession selection system for the head of the Yang family and how to select a qualified head of the family is the political merit of Yang Xinghua and Yang Chenglie.
Yang Xinghua originally thought that his father and ancestors had already established the rules and regulations of the Yang family, and there were still several people from Yang Chenglie working for him below, so he could easily wait for Yang Chenglie to take over.
Who knew that in my own generation there would be such a big hole to fill. Fortunately, my grandfather pointed me in the direction.
Otherwise, with my lazy temperament, I might not be able to accomplish such a big thing. Thinking about it this way, the happiest person is his father!
As the saying goes, you look old at the age of three. While Yang Xinghua is in charge of the affairs of the Yang family, he is also teaching and observing his grandchildren.
Yang Xinghua was not so satisfied with his eldest grandson Yang Tianchen, who was a bit greedy in character.
The decisiveness and perseverance of Yang Chenglie and Wang Xifeng were not learned at all. As far as physical training is concerned, daily practice is just cheating and cheating, and you will not suffer.
Although Yang Chenglie and Wang Xifeng also taught them a lot, it didn't take long for them to return to their old ways. In fact, it was not just Yang Xinghua who taught in secret, but Yang Shengdao also gave many pointers in secret and overtly.
After all, this is his great-grandson, so how could he not care about him. But manpower sometimes ran out, and Yang Shengdao gradually became disappointed after more than ten years.
In this regard, Yang Shengdao and Yang Xinghua admired Yang Hongyuan. If the Yang family were to be handed over to such a ninth generation head in the future, then the wisdom of the eighth generation head of their Yang family would probably be lost.
Fortunately, Yang Hongyuan's candle shines thousands of miles away and established a solution when the ninth generation was just born. At this moment, Yang Xinghua was extremely envious of his father, and even complained about his grandfather. Having too many children would be a debt!
And Yang Shengdao was also glad that he only gave birth to one child, so he didn't have to worry too much, it was just Yang Xinghua who suffered.
The only advantage of having more grandchildren is that if this grandson dies, then he can get another grandson! Comparing the more than ten grandchildren, apart from the youngest ones, it is hard to tell, but the third child, Yang Tiangang, stands out the most.
However, he has qualities that none of the eight generations of Yang's direct descendants have, that is, loyalty and generosity. With Yang Chenglie's style, he will be upright and strict when he comes to power.
When the time comes, it will be perfect to be supplemented by Yang Tiangang's generosity and softness. Originally, although Yang Xinghua was disappointed with Yang Tianchen, he did not give up on him.
But what happened next was that he ended his position as the head of the family. Yang Tianchen used a large amount of resources to open up Dantian and advance to the martial arts realm, once again establishing his reputation as the ninth generation heir apparent.
Not to mention Yang Xinghua, even Yang Chenglie was extremely disappointed with his eldest son. His character was too bad to help Adou!
This time, Yang Xinghua no longer had to make a difficult decision and began to devote himself to cultivating Yang Tiangang. After choosing the goal, it will be much simpler. You no longer have to worry about teaching a group of grandchildren.
With the guidance of Yang Xinghua and Yang Chenglie, father and son, and the secret guidance of Yang Shengdao. Not long after Yang Tianlei, the eldest son of Yang Chengxi and the second in line, advanced to the warrior realm.
Yang Tiangang successfully opened up Dantian and laid the foundation for practicing the secret technique of transforming one qi into three qing dynasties. Yang Xinghua can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Once this is over, the major events of his reign are also completed.
