On the incense table, there are fruit offering incense candles, and Yang Dingkun's tomb is placed upright on it.
In front of the incense table, there is a stool and a basin.
The basin is a copper basin and the water is spring water.
The elders of the Yang family who were lucky enough not to be imprisoned gathered around the copper basin, using silk cotton handkerchiefs as white as snow dipped in the clear spring water to clean the spiritual tablets of Yang Xu's late mother. The faces of the old guys were swollen and red. This book
It is something that the younger generation should do. They are one generation older than Mrs. Yang, but they are forced to do these things. At the beginning, they used the clan system and clan power to oppress and exclude the Yang Dingkun family. They were superior, and every younger member of the Yang family seemed to be
I was obediently at their mercy, and today...
The coffin was cleaned, wiped dry with a silk handkerchief, and the incense table was put on the table respectfully. The old guys breathed out involuntarily. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the incense table. It was theirs.
One of the juniors was forced to death by them, and the other was forced to leave his hometown and died in depression. Looking at the spiritual status of these two juniors, it hurt their eyes.
Mingqian is flying in the air. A white-bearded Taoist wearing a purple Bagua Taoist robe holds a purple Ruyi in his hand. Behind him are sixteen Taoist priests with solemn expressions and following each step.
"With this call of true fragrance, I hope that the deceased will hear it from afar and rely on the power of the Three Jewels to come to the meeting today. With equal luck and boundless power, I respectfully address the soul of the deceased and praise the treasure name. My merits are immeasurable and my kindness is widespread.
Appear in the body. The Dharma is extended, leaving the sea of suffering, summoning the souls of the dead to come to the meeting, escaping from the suffering world, and enjoying the mysterious power, just like the imperial edict and the legend of Fenghuoyi..."
Buddhist rituals are used to transport the dead to the Paradise of Paradise in the West. Taoist rituals are used to transport the deceased to the Changle Wonderland in the East. One is responsible for Amitabha Buddha, and the other is responsible for Taiyi Tianzun. Both of them save suffering, but the destination of the soul is delivered to them is different. Yang Dingkun
The couple's coffins were sent to Tianshi Temple in advance. Xia Xun couldn't help but find a group of monks to save them, so he invited Taoist disciples to perform rituals.
Behind him, there were eight big men supporting the coffin. They were all men of Yang Jiading's generation. The crowd carrying the coffin walked around the town of Moling. People in the whole town spoke in extremely complicated words.
Looking at this special funeral procession, no one dared to speak, and the Yang family lowered their heads in front of the whole town. They always felt superior and superior to others.
In their eyes, Yang Xu, the rebellious and bold younger member of the clan, still lives in Moling Town, but has nothing to do with the Moling Yang family. He has established his own name: "Xia Xuntang."
The origin of a clan's hall name can have many origins. For example, the "Sanqiantang" of the Meng family comes from the three moves of Meng's mother; the "Banbutang" of the Zhao family comes from Zhao Pu's Half of the Analects to Rule the World; the "Banbutang" of the Zhou family
"Ailian Hall" comes from Zhou Dunyi's "Ai Lian Shuo", "Pu Bian Tang" with the surname Liu comes from Liu Bei's weaving of mats and shoes, and some people use the name of their own study to establish their own hall name, while "Xia Xuntang"
What's the reason?
According to Xia Xun, "Xia" means "facing the south." Since ancient times, Chinese people have lived with the south and died with the north, with south as the yang and north as the yin, with the south as the front and the north as the back. The name Xia is for
His Yang family will always stand in front of the Moling Yang family. As for the word Xun, Xun means land by the water, and there is lots of water in the south, so it is named. If he wants to say this, everyone has to listen to it.
Of course, only Xia Xun knows the real reason. He established his own name, which is tantamount to a martial artist or scholar establishing a sect. However, his real name may never be seen in his lifetime. A person must not forget his ancestors. If the surnames of himself and his descendants can only be
If his surname is Yang, then he should make a fuss about his hall name to commemorate his true self so that his descendants can also remember the names of their true ancestors. Therefore, he set up his own hall name "Xia Xun" to represent his family name.
In addition to Wenxuan, he also has his own nickname - "Xia Xun".
Because of Yang Chong's scandal and the Yang family's arrogance and corruption, they lost the goal of fighting for it and the Tai students who lacked combat experience collectively fell silent. They didn't know how to proceed and who should administer justice.
Already.
The civil servants are experienced after all, and they avoid talking about the scandals of Yang Chong and the Yang family. Yang Chong was beaten to death for committing adultery. The Yang family violated national law and had its own sanctions from the court law.
, but this has nothing to do with the Yang family’s discipline and restraint on the children of the clan. Now Yang Xu has established his own hall name, but this does not change the fact that he and the Moling Yang family have a common ancestor. Xia Xuntang is a branch name of Moling Hall.
Although Molingtang no longer had the power to directly restrain and discipline him, he could not force his parents to carry out coffins and support their funerals. This was against the rules of etiquette.
, which offset Yang Xu’s fault.
They seized on the word "ritual" and continued to sue, hoping that justice would be done and Yang Xu would be punished. However, strangely, the opposition forces headed by the Prince of Zhongshan suddenly stopped fighting. In terms of scheming and insidiousness, Huang Zicheng
They thought they had hit the nail on the head and silenced the other party, so they became even more inspired and courageous. They held candles and wrote at night every night, hoping to use this case to defeat them in the court.
The nobles, relatives, and dignitaries collect wealth and enhance the aspirations of civil servants.
But just three days later, when they were getting carried away, more scandals about the Yang family were revealed.
Yang Rong, who was being interrogated in prison and kept silent, was struck by a thunderbolt. His brother Yang Lao killed his relatives and wrote a letter to expose the details of his brother's overstepping the rules and corruption. He also described in detail that his brother, as the leader of the clan, acted for his own selfish purposes.
For his own benefit, he persecuted his nephew Yang Dingkun and forced his nephew's daughter-in-law to death with slanderous rumors. After his grandson Yang Xu returned to his hometown, he repeatedly squeezed and suppressed him, and even how he coerced the clan elders to set up a trap to repair the ancestral temple and set up a righteous field.
He deliberately made things difficult for Yang Xu and forced him to resist, thus telling him all about the conspiracy to force him out of the family. He also said that he was out of guilt, so he mobilized his clan members to carry the coffin to apologize to Yang Xu.
In fact, some of these things were indeed done by Yang Rong, and some were just the members of the clan trying to figure out his intentions and taking the initiative to please him. Now Yang Lao was forced to put the handle in Xia Xun's hands. In order to protect himself, he poured out all the dirty water.
When it came to Yang Rong, Yang Rong finally tasted the feeling of being framed and framed, and there was no possibility of refutation. The rumors spread more and more widely outside, but he was locked in prison and could do nothing.
Yang Rong's insidiousness and hypocrisy were exposed. The image of a kind and majestic elder who worked hard to maintain the family and the patriarchal clan collapsed. The civil servants were stunned. Just when they were full of shame and bewildered, more scandals about the Yang family were revealed.
It was revealed that a woman who remarried after her husband died and was kicked out of the Yang family went to Jiangning County to file a complaint, saying that she wanted to keep the integrity of her husband, but because she was the only one left in the house, her clan members bullied her.
The oppression, both soft and hard, forced her to remarry someone else. As a result, the eight acres of good paddy fields in her house were taken over by the clan leader Yang Rong as his own because she had no owner.
Then it was revealed that another woman in the Yang family was young and widowed. She couldn't bear the loneliness and was having an affair with someone outside. After the incident was discovered, her eldest brother-in-law and uncles in the same room made a plan and reported this scandal to the public.
They concealed it, and still reported to the government as chastity women, asking for commendation. Before the chastity memorial arch was issued by the court, they put all their fields under the name of this widow, because the property of chastity women did not need to be taxed, so they
A large amount of taxes were evaded.
The ones who dug up these things were naturally Xie Yufei and Nan Feifei, two masters of the Feng Sect who were good at catching winds and asking about other people's details. One scandal after another was exposed one after another, completely shattering Huang Zicheng's plan to attack the general group.
This attack was originally a well-known attack, but this time it turned into a conspiracy. Even Huang Zicheng, who had been standing behind the scenes and had not personally come forward, felt ashamed, angry and embarrassed, let alone the others.
Even if the struggle fails, they will be criticized.
This is all Xia Xun's revenge, and the reason why Luo Kedi laughed and let it go. Because this matter is no longer a grudge between Yang Xu and his family. Even if you use clever means to kill all the Yang family justifiably,
There is no way to stop this confrontation between the civil and military forces of the DPRK and China caused by the personal grudges of the Yang family. Only by removing fuel from the bottom of the cauldron can a great chaos be eliminated.
I don't know how many officials who didn't want to be affected, but had to bite the bullet and prepared to declare their stance to join the war, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was better to lose face than lose their lives. They kept watching with cold eyes, and gradually murderous intentions arose. Zhu Yuanzhang also breathed a sigh of relief and put down his
A sharply polished sword.
"Boys can be taught." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
Zhu Yunwen, who was reading "The Rites of Zhou", thought that the imperial grandfather was talking about him, so he read more carefully.
At this time, Luo Qianshi, who was ordered to conduct a secret investigation on Huang Zicheng, entered the palace to renew the order...
"You mean, that person said he was Peng Ziqi?"
"Yes!" said the gangster who had dealt with Peng Ziqi in Peiping: "The word "cut" is good in sign language, um... he looks very similar to you, is he your brother?"
Peng Ziqi said nothing, but turned to look at his third uncle Peng Feng.
Peng Feng said solemnly: "She was working for Yang Xu at that time?"
"Yang Xu? Really? Sometimes his name is Yang Xu, and sometimes his name is Xia Xun. Who knows, he is so mysterious, and he is probably a figure in the world. But if he can have the children of your Peng family running around for him, he should be a famous figure in the world.
"It's a pity that I have never been able to learn from him."
The gangster smiled and cupped his hands: "We are all in the same spirit, and we should help each other. This little thing is nothing. I didn't expect that this time I came to Jinan and ran out of money, so I put down my cup and asked the same person on the road for help.
The ones who are helping our brothers are none other than the children of your Peng family. Haha, fate, fate, come on, let’s have another drink.”
Peng Ziqi gritted his teeth and whispered to Peng Feng: "Third uncle, that bastard named Yang lied to me!"
Peng Feng snorted coldly and said: "If you can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple. Let's go to Jiangnan!"
In Fengyang Mansion Prison, the unkempt Wansongling climbed out of the ditch and smiled sinisterly: "You want to imprison me, Wansongling, with just a high wall? You stinky girl named Xie, just wait, I won't let you go!"
