It was the 359th year of the Gregorian calendar, but Yang Hongyuan had been living quite comfortably in the past few years, and he no longer had to worry about planning anything.
In addition to studying formations and practicing magical powers, the other thing is to increase the relationship with Xiao Kun, or to secretly pretend to be an old grandfather in Xishan and distribute some asters to future generations.
With his parents present and children and grandchildren around his knees, Yang Hongyuan had been practicing for many years, but he rarely felt comfortable. The only regret is that his second son's family is far away in Jiutian World and cannot be reunited.
But today, everyone in the Yang family gathered in Xishan, because Yang Chengzhao, the oldest, oldest and most respected elder in the Yang family, has reached the end of his life.
Since the death of his great-grandfather Yang Mingzhen, Yang Hongyuan has not felt the sadness of the death of a relative for a long time.
Although he knew that the Yinming Realm was there and Yang Chengzhao could come back again, he still couldn't stop feeling sad.
Yang Huaili, who went to Huzhou secretly, and Yang Huaixiao, who went to Liangzhou, both came back and met Yang Chengzhao for the last time, and they had no regrets.
The two of them have been hiding their names for the sake of the Yang family, but the Yang family owes them a lot. Although the two of them broke through to the Tiangang realm, they both spent a lot of resources to get there. Now they are also old and their lifespan is short.
Yang Chengzhao finally died with a smile on his face. Yang Huairen and Yang Hongyuan personally ran for him and paid him the greatest honor and sorrow.
"Sacrifice to the world from generation to generation, go to the temple to be named Shizu!"
"For those who have made meritorious service and brought peace to the people, they are called Lie; for those who uphold virtue and honor their profession, they are called Lie; for those who are given a posthumous title, they are called Lie!"
"You have the honorable title Yi, and collectively we are called the ancestor of Yang Lieyi!" Shortly after Yang Chengzhao passed away, Yang Huaili and Yang Huaxiao, who were already short-lived, passed away one after another.
It was a pity that the Yang family could not hold a grand memorial ceremony for him at this time, but Yang Hongyuan was not willing to mistreat the two uncles who had dedicated their lives to the family.
Yang Huairen personally opened the ancestral temple and consecrated the two brothers in Fengxian Hall.
"Kuan Le Ling is called Jing in the end, and respectful words are called Jing!" Yang Huaili posthumously gave him the posthumous title Jing, and the temple name Zhongzong, which is Yang Jing Zhongzong!
"Innocent and righteous people are called Zhen, and those who have great restraint are called Zhen!" Yang Huaixiao gave him the posthumous title of Zhen and the temple name of Xianzong, which is to show Yang Zhenzong!
Yang Huairen's posthumous title caused quite a stir in the entire Yang family. The Yang family has been passed down for nearly ten generations now. How many people have both temple and posthumous names?
Not counting the ancestors who were granted titles by Taizu Jingzhao a generation ago, there are only five people who have all the posthumous names and temple names after his death.
The two ancestors Yang Boqiao and Yang Bolu of the first generation, the two ancestors Yang Mingzhen and Yang Minglei of the second generation, plus the ancestor Chengzhao who just passed away.
In the more than 300 years since the Yang clan was founded, only five ancestors have been awarded such posthumous names, but today two of them were granted the title. There must be a reason for this.
But that's not all. The eldest sons of Yang Huaili and Yang Huaxiao were awarded the title of duke, and each generation of the two generations was gifted to choose one person as the direct line, which was hereditary.
Let’s talk about the Duke first. You must know that after the Yang family’s noble system came into being, the highest-ranking person is now only an adult, who was posthumously made a second-class marquis by Yang Hongyuan.
As for Yang Shengdao's accession to the throne, he no longer pursued the title of Chengzi. Yang Hongyuan and Chengzi's uncle happened to be three generations, and they ended in three generations.
The highest number of those who are still alive who have been awarded the title of Lord is only an earl, so we know the weight of Yang Huairen's appointment of these two dukes.
Yang Hongyang, the fourth son of Yang Huaili, was named Ning Guogong, and Yang Huaixiao's legitimate son was named Rong Guogong. Secondly, each generation can choose one person to become the direct lineage, and there is no inheritance. This is the legacy left by the thirteen ancestors of the three generations.
In addition to the five bloodlines left by the Fifth Grand Duke of the generation, they are now also called the Eighteen Iron Hats' direct descendants by the Yang clan. Many people have asked for them, but now they have two more bloodlines.
Especially the lineage of Yang Chengbin, whose legacy of iron-hat heirs has been passed on to his eldest son Yang Huaiyi, but now his second son Yang Huaixiao has earned another iron-hat heir.
Apart from Yang Chengzhao's lineage, it can be said that his lineage is the most prominent. In addition, five people who were pregnant with children, Yang Huaiheng, Yang Huailin, Yang Huailang, Yang Huaibin, and Yang Huaihe, were posthumously awarded the title of king.
The five people were ordered to start a family incognitoly in the five counties of Huaiyu, Siyu, Jiayu, Qiongbi, and Lianbi. None of the five people passed away early without advancing to the real state.
Because Yang Huaili and Yang Huaxiao are still alive, it is difficult to bypass them and pursue five people, and it has been delayed until today to give them the honor they deserve.
When the news spread, the powerful heads of the five counties of Huaiyu, Siyu, Jiayu, Qiongbi, and Lianbi, as well as the five powerful families of Fu, Jia, Yan, Qian, and Zhuang, opened their ancestral temple alone and cried loudly, reporting to Ming's father and ancestors. Forget about them.
This is the biggest secret of the five powerful families. Only the heads of each generation know that they are the direct descendants of the Yang family in Yuzhou today.
Later, Yang Huairen granted the earl to the descendants of Wumai, and at the same time gave the iron hat to the descendants of Wumai. However, it also makes it clear that the descendants of the Five Meridians are now unable to inherit this iron-hatted direct descendant, that is, they are hanging in limbo.
The five powerful heads of the Fu, Jia, Yan, Qian, and Zhuang families were even more shocked when they heard the news. Outsiders speculated that it might be because Wumai had not done enough, so they were given this honor but were not allowed to inherit it.
But the heads of the five families understood that this iron-hatted heir was inherited by their outside lineage, and they cried uncontrollably in the ancestral hall.
Faced with a series of operations by Yang Huairen, the most senior elder and former patriarch, many Yang clan members were puzzled, but no one dared to ask. They could only cast their opinions on the descendants of the seven ancestors of the Huaizi generation. Got envious eyes.
Of course, Yang Hongyuan's posthumous title of seven brothers and the gift of seven descendants only caused a stir in the Yang family, but the various factions in Yuzhou just listened and let it go.
This is the Yang family's own family matter. Why should I worry about it? I won't imitate that bad guy and interfere in other people's internal affairs.
On the other hand, the current leader of Shaking Sky Sect, Yushu Zhenren, is a little confused about the Yang family's sudden title of seven concubines.
As the eldest disciple of Master Yideng, Master Yushu knew that his master had always been wary of the Yang family.
It's a pity that he was born too late. Before he was born, the seven descendants of the Yang family had already failed due to passing the test or died in the battle. If his master Yideng Zhenren was still alive, he might be able to tell something. .
However, although today's Shaking Sky Sect is calm on the surface, it is secretly turbulent. Especially because the sect's monk resources have continued to be reduced in recent years to provide for Uncle Yanshan's training, it has caused quite a bit of resistance.
It all depends on Uncle Yanshan's cultivation and Uncle Lu's prestige to suppress and stabilize the situation of Shaking Sky Sect. Now I just hope that Uncle Yanshan can succeed.
The Yang family, however, has no time to pay attention to it, not to mention that the current Shaking Sky Sect is thanks to the support of annual taxes from the nine counties of the Yang family, otherwise it would be even more difficult!
