Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 653 Dad, Mom, spare my life!
"Yang Zhengshan!" Chen Wansong frowned slightly, "Marquis of Jing'an Yang Zhengshan? Can inviting him back change the current situation?"

He naturally knew Yang Zhengshan. Although he did not have much communication with Yang Zhengshan, Yang Zhengshan often greeted him when he came to Fengxian Hall.

However, he did not know Yang Zhengshan, let alone the Yang family.

Chen Zhaojun said in a deep voice: "The Liaodong Yang family has now occupied the entire Liaodong area, almost making Liaodong an iron plate. Even if I want to intervene in Liaodong's affairs, I am restricted everywhere!"

"The current Marquis of Jing'an, Yang Chengye, has been stationed in Chongshan Town, and Chongshan Town has almost become the private land of the Yang family. Chongshan Town has 30,000 elite town standard camps, 50,000 elite reinforcement camps, and can recruit 100,000 garrison soldiers in a short period of time!"

"There are also the Tenglong Four Guards and the North Sea Navy. The North Sea Navy has 20,000 elite naval forces and 20,000 elite guard soldiers!"

"As long as the Yang family is willing, they can lead an army of 200,000 to the south. It won't be difficult to pacify the bandits in Shanhe Province!"

Chen Zhaojun was very familiar with the situation of the Yang family in Liaodong. It was precisely because of this that he did not dare to easily issue an order to dispatch the troops of Chongshan Town and Tenglong Guard.

He was afraid that if the Yang family had any rebellious intentions, Kyoto would not be able to stop the Yang family's army.

Chen Wansong frowned and asked, "Is Yang Zhengshan untrustworthy?"

"I don't know!" Chen Zhaojun's expression became more complicated.

"Yang Zhengshan was my master and taught me martial arts, but I could never see through him!"

"This person doesn't seem to be greedy for power, but he always holds on to the power he has."

“Chongshan Town, Tenglongwei, even if he has been away for decades, he can still control it firmly in his hands!”

"Great uncle, do you think I can trust him?"

Chen Wansong fell silent.

How does he know this question?
But he is more decisive than Chen Zhaojun.

"Besides him, is there anyone else available?"

Chen Zhaojun shook his head silently.

other people?
It’s not that he hadn’t invited them before, but unfortunately, as an emperor, he didn’t have enough face, so he couldn’t do it at all.

In fact, he had invited Zhou Mao and Liang Chu, but the responses he got were that they were practicing in seclusion.

What kind of retreat? It's just an excuse!

A warrior's retreat does not really mean he will stay in a cave and not go out for years.

The so-called seclusion of martial artists is to practice in seclusion, that is, to concentrate on cultivation and ignore worldly affairs, but they still have to eat when it is time to eat and sleep when it is time to sleep.

"Then invite him back!" Chen Wansong said in a deep voice.

"But if he comes back, he will probably take control of the court!" said Chen Zhaojun.

"So what? It's better than losing the country and the world!" said Chen Wansong.

Chen Zhaojun's expression froze, "I understand. I will arrange for someone to invite him right away!"

Yes, there is no need to worry so much about the current situation.

If this continues, Darong will be completely destroyed in no time.

The Imperial Guards are no longer useful, how long can the Emperor's sixteen battalions of personal troops hold out?

Once the imperial guards are defeated, the soldiers of the 16th battalion of the imperial guards will probably lose their will to fight. By then, the overthrow of Dayong may happen overnight.

Such an outcome is naturally better than Yang Zhengshan coming back to control the court. Even if Yang Zhengshan becomes the regent, as long as he does not proclaim himself emperor, Dayong will not be destroyed.

Chen Wansong waved his hand and said, "Mingxi, you should go there in person! If someone else goes, I'm afraid it won't be grand enough!"

"Yeah." Chen Mingxi did not refuse. She knew that this was probably the only way she could help.

In terms of cultivation, her current level is not low, but in terms of combat power, she has never fought with anyone in her life.

As a princess, she had no chance to fight at all, and she was not a person who liked fighting and killing.

The reason why she could achieve her current level of cultivation was entirely because of her great talent and royal resources.

To put it simply, she, like Sui Qingmo, makes a living by relying on her talent.

Sui Qingmo is better than her. After all, Sui Qingmo has intervened in the government affairs and knows a lot about officialdom, while she has been living in seclusion in Sanshan Valley, never leaving the house.

Chen Zhaojun said: "You can bring Yan'er with you. Yang Zhengshan still has some master-disciple relationship with Zhaoxuan!"

In terms of master-disciple relationship, Chen Zhaojun did not expect to have any master-disciple relationship with Yang Zhengshan. Although he worshipped Yang Zhengshan as his master in the beginning, he did not practice sincerely and often worked hard for three days and rested for two days.

He valued the throne, so he put all his attention on state affairs at that time and had no intention of practicing.

In his mind at that time, Yang Zhengshan was not a powerful figure. Whether he was an innate warrior or the Marquis of Jing'an, they were just subjects in his mind.

Thinking back on it now, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If he had known this would happen, he should have cultivated a good relationship with Yang Zhengshan.

What made him regret even more was that he should have invited Chen Zhaoxuan back and should not have let Chen Zhaoxuan stay in Daizhou.

In this way, Chen Zhaoxuan will not die, and Chen Zhaoxuan can also help him invite Yang Zhengshan.

"Well, I see!"

Chen Mingxi responded.

When Chen Mingxi set out for Xingyue Island, Yang Mingzhao also happened to board the ship of the Yang family trading company. At the same time, An Yuxing also boarded the merchant ship of Tenglongwei and was also heading to Xingyue Island.

The three people went to Xingyue Island almost at the same time, and the first one to arrive at Shenmu Island was naturally Yang Mingzhao.

Looking at the sparkling Wannian Lake and the towering Wannian Banyan tree, Yang Mingzhao suddenly found it difficult to move.

He stood on the shore of the lake, hesitating.

"Fourth Master, Fourth Master!" Li Chang called softly.

Yang Mingzhao came back to his senses and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Li, Dad won't hit me, will he?"

"Well, maybe!" Li Chang thought about it and said seriously.

Yang Mingzhao didn’t want to leave anymore. Damn, this is too scary!
Yang Zhengshan had never lost his temper in front of Yang Mingzhao, but it was precisely because he had never lost his temper that Yang Mingzhao felt even more terrified.

Yang Mingzhao couldn't imagine what Yang Zhengshan would look like when he got angry. He thought he wouldn't just shoot him!

Yang Mingzhao couldn't help but shiver when he thought about Yang Zhengshan waving his gun.

"Uncle Li, help!"

"I can't save the Fourth Master! Maybe we will need to take action at that time!" Li Chang made a gesture of hitting someone with a stick.

There is really no punishment of beating with a stick in the Yang family's family rules, mainly because no one has violated the Yang family's family rules over the years.

However, there are military laws in the army, and many of them were formulated by Yang Zhengshan himself.

The Yang family has its own clan rules, which were also formulated with the participation of Yang Zhengshan.

Both military law and clan rules include beating with a stick, and it is extremely severe, with no mercy at all.

There is no need to say much about military law. The family rules of the Yang family are also very strict, and some people were beaten to death directly.

The reason why the Yang family has not become a powerful family that brings trouble to the village over the years is because of the family rules. Similarly, the children of the Yang family have done well in Chongshan Town, and there are not many corrupt officials, also because of the family rules.

They are not afraid of national laws, but they are afraid of the clan rules set by Yang Zhengshan.

Because the penalties in the clan rules prevented them from violating them.

Beating and killing are light punishments. What they fear most is being expelled from the Yang family's genealogy.

Being expelled from the family tree means that they have lost all the resources of the Yang family, not only themselves, but also their descendants.

"Uncle Li!" Yang Mingzhao felt like crying. Beating with a stick was no joke.

At least his skin was torn and his flesh was exposed.

Although he is Yang Zhengshan's biological son, if Li Chang, Wang Lei and others were to beat him with a stick, they would definitely not show mercy.

Li Chang chuckled, "Fourth Master, let's go, it's only a matter of time!"

Well, he was a little gloating. Yang Mingzhao finally understood that it was useless to ask Li Chang for help.

Li Chang and Wang Lei had to strictly carry out Yang Zhengshan's orders. His reputation as the Fourth Master was of no use in front of these two and he could not show any leniency.

Li Chang, Wang Lei and other close followers are different from Wu Zhan and Wu Zheng, and also different from Ding Qiu and other servants of the Yang family. Ding Qiu and other servants of the Yang family will take care of him as their master, Wu Zheng and Wu Zhan may treat him as their son or nephew, but Li Chang and Wang Lei will not.

They are soldiers and they only follow orders!
"Uncle Li, please help me!" Yang Mingzhao begged.

"Fourth Master, please don't make things difficult for me!" Li Chang said.

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult. Just go and inform my wife and tell her that I'm back. Let her take the child to my father!" Yang Mingzhao said with a blink.

Who can save him at this time?
His mother?

There is a high probability that Yu Qingyi will not plead for him, as long as he is not beaten to death.

Other people's pleas were of no use; only Zhu and the two children's pleas were effective.

With his daughter-in-law present, Yang Zhengshan probably won’t beat her too hard!

With his grandchildren around, Yang Zhengshan should be able to suppress his anger a little!

Li Chang thought about it and nodded to the two brothers behind him.

"Thank you, Uncle Li. Thank you, Uncle Li!" Yang Mingzhao was so grateful that he wanted to cry.

"Let's go, Fourth Master. Don't make me wait anxiously, otherwise I might beat you even harder!" Li Chang said.

“Let’s go, let’s go~~” Yang Mingzhao no longer hesitated and immediately walked towards Shenmu City.

Extending one's head is a sword, and shrinking one's head is also a sword.

Humph, the worst that can happen to me is just lying down for a few days!
On the other side, Yang Zhengshan had received the news that Yang Mingzhao had returned.

Just as Li Chang thought, Yang Zhengshan was ready to be beaten.

The long benches were set out, and Wang Lei and others were already standing in the yard holding boards.

Yang Zhengshan sat in the hall with his arms and legs spread out, drinking tea leisurely.

Yu Qingyi was also there, drinking tea leisurely.

The couple looked like they were cut from the same mold.

He fiddled with the lid of the bowl and sipped the tea with a calm expression.

Under such circumstances, Yang Mingzhao walked into the yard along the wall. He first glanced at the long bench, then looked at Wang Lei and others who were holding boards, and smiled awkwardly at Wang Lei and others.

The next moment, he sprinted into the lobby and slid to his knees.

"Dad, Mom, I miss you so much!"

"Son kowtows to his father and mother!"

He kowtowed three times.

Yang Zhengshan raised his eyelids, but Yu Qingyi didn't even raise his eyelids. "You little bastard, you still miss us so much. It's been almost four years since we last met. You must have almost forgotten us."

"Come on, beat him!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Wang Lei immediately brought people in, grabbed Yang Mingzhao's arm and dragged him out.

"Dad, Mom, spare my life!"

"My son will never dare to do that again!"

"Woo, spare my life!"

Yang Mingzhao screamed and shouted miserably, as if he was going to be dragged out and chopped to pieces.

The miserable look was almost the same as being taken to the execution ground.

But no matter how he shouted, Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi remained unmoved.

Yang Mingzhao looked at the two of them and groaned inwardly.

"It's over, it's over. It's no use begging for mercy! Woohoo~~~ I'm afraid I can't avoid being beaten today."

Soon, he was pressed down on a long bench by Wang Lei.

They started fighting.

The boards used to beat him were all solid iron boards, no different from iron rods.

This kind of board is specially used to punish warriors.

Once the board hits you, no matter how tough and strong you are, you will scream in pain.

"Ah~~"

"Ah~~"

Screams were heard one after another, and Yang Mingzhao was really screaming, there was no way he could fake it.

“Tsk tsk tsk tsk, fourth brother, stop yelling. The louder you yell, the worse you’ll be beaten!”

At this time, Yang Mingzhi came out from under the eaves next to him and joked with a gloating look on his face.

"Second brother, help! Please plead for me!" Yang Mingzhao shouted hurriedly when he saw Yang Mingzhi.

Yang Mingzhi spread his hands, "Still begging for mercy? I was wondering why you lent me so much money before, it turns out you went to rebel!"

"Hit me, hit me hard. You dare to lie to me? Humph, I won't feel relieved until I beat you till your skin is torn to pieces!"

Yang Mingzhao was beaten with a stick, which had never happened before in the Yang family.

No, it was never the case that Yang Zhengshan used a board at home.

Such a rare thing, Yang Mingzhi naturally wanted to come and watch the fun.

"Don't worry, I've already talked to Junior Brother Mingzhe. He's waiting over there. Once dad calms down, Junior Brother Mingzhe will come over immediately to treat your injuries!" Yang Mingzhi also pointed to the eaves not far away.

Yang Mingzhao turned his head and looked, his face full of black lines, and he even forgot to scream.

Under the eaves, he saw Yang Minghao waving at him, Wang Mingzhe laughing, and the most annoying thing was that Yang Chengmao, Yang Chengxian and other nephews were also laughing.

Damn, everyone is laughing at me.

Yang Mingzhao wanted to curse!

But soon Yang Mingzhao saw his savior, Zhu came with two children.

But Zhu walked past him gracefully without even looking at him.

Yang Cheng'an was on the other side of Zhu's house, looking at Yang Mingzhao and giving him a face.

Yang Wanqi had been looking at him, with her head tilted, her pure big eyes full of confusion.

Who is this person and why is he being beaten?

Didn’t you say daddy is back?
Where is daddy?

That’s right, Yang Wanqi didn’t recognize Yang Mingzhao at all.

As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. When Yang Mingzhao established the Taiping Army, Yang Wanqi was only three years old. After that, he was away from home all year round, and would only come back for ten days or half a month at most each year.

Children have short memories. At first they are still thinking about their father, but soon they forget what their father looks like.

"The daughter-in-law greets father and mother!" Zhu bowed politely.

"Grandson greets grandpa and grandma!" the two children also called out.

Yu Qingyi smiled and said, "Sit down. Come, Qi'er, come to grandma!"

Qi'er trotted towards Yu Qingyi, and Yu Qingyi hugged her in his arms.
