Chapter 27: Returning to the Mansion(1/2)
Chapter 27 The Storm of Returning to the House
When Yang Su's carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Yang's mansion, the children of Yang's mansion who heard the news rushed out of the mansion and came out to welcome the return of the head of the family. The steps were filled with Yang Su's sons, nephews and grandchildren. Several large lanterns were lit, illuminating the mansion as daytime.
Yang Yue stood by the gate, feeling a little heavy. He knew that Yang Yuanqing's affairs would inevitably be faced, but he also had his own thoughts in his heart and would not give up because of the pressure from his brother.
The car door opened, Yang Su walked out of the car, and his sons went up to help his father together. When everyone saw that his father was so thin, they were both surprised and sad. Yang Xuangan's tears suddenly burst out and he hurriedly held his father's arm.
Unexpectedly, Yang Su pushed him away coldly and said to the third son Xuan Zhuan: "Xuan Zhuan, come and help me!"
Yang Xuanzhao hurriedly stepped forward to support his father. This subtle thing made many people realize that there was anger hidden in the head of the family. Yang Xuangan knew in his heart that this must be Xuanzhao's report to his father about Yuan Qing. He glanced at his third brother and felt a little dissatisfied with him.
Yang Su walked up the steps, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "See the head of the family!"
Yang Su glanced at everyone and suddenly asked, "Where is Yuanqing? Why didn't he come out to greet me?"
Everyone showed a look of embarrassment on their faces, and Yang Yue hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother, something happened at home, I'll explain it to you."
"No need, I want to rest for half an hour. After half an hour, all the children of the Xuan generation will go to the main hall. I want to hold a meeting for everyone."
Yang Su looked back at her eldest son, "Xuangan, come to my study!"

In the study, a maid had already changed into a wide-body Zen suit. Yang Su leaned her back on the couch, closed her eyes to rest. The door knocked twice, and Yang Xuangan's voice came, "Father!"
"Come in!"
Yang Xuangan pushed open the door and walked into the room. His father's return made him feel much less stressed, and at the same time, it made him feel a little worried. He knew that Yuan Qing's incident might cause a family storm.
"Father!"
He stood beside his father with his hands down. Yang Su glanced at him and sighed, "Sit down!"
Yang Su is over the age of knowing destiny, and he doesn't want to solve some things by getting angry, especially the eldest son. Xuangan will take on the burden of the entire family after he dies. He hopes that the eldest son can understand some things.
Yang Xuangan sat down and said proactively: "Does my father want to talk to me about Yuanqing?"
Yang Su nodded, "Tell me the cause and effect of this matter first, don't be emotional, just say it in person."
Yang Xuangan told his father everything that happened. Although he was not present when Yang Yuanqing was punished, he learned the details from others, including everyone's conversations and actions at that time, and he explained in detail without any concealment.
"Father, that's all I know. If you don't ask Xuan Zong anymore, he has been in the ancestral temple."
"No, that's enough."
Yang Su glanced at the eldest son and asked him, "Now tell me what you think! What do you think about this matter?"
Yang Xuangan felt his father's earnest words. It was not as angry as he imagined to lose his temper at himself. The pressure in his heart was a little less, and he also felt a little as ashamed. He did not solve this problem and let his father worry.
"Father, the child chose to avoid this matter. After all, on the one hand, he is his own son and on the other hand, he is a family. He protects his son. The family will say that I am partial and not worthy of being the heir of the head of the family. It will make me lose the prestige of the family. But if Yuan Qing is severely punished, I can't bear it. It's hard for the child to be in it. The child is really helpless and can only avoid it."
Yang Su nodded, "I understand your mood, I won't comment on your attitude for now. I want to hear your opinion on this matter."
"Father, in fact, the land affairs are just an introduction. The anger of the tribe members is not for the land, but for the father's preference for Yuan Qing, breaking the basic rules of the family legitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illeg
This is what Yang Xuangan always wanted to say. He also thought that his father favored Yuan Qing too much, which was unfair to the rest of the family.
Yang Su still didn't lose his temper, and he asked again: "Then do you think the family's punishment for Yuan Qing is correct."
"Father, the child believes that the state has national laws and the clan has racial rules, and the family's punishment for Yuan Qing is not inappropriate.
Yang Su sighed, "The state has its own laws, and the clan has its own rules, and the emperor also said the same."
Yang Xuangan was stunned. What does this mean? Yang Su didn't continue and turned the topic back.
"Actually you are right, I do have a responsibility. I gave Yuan Qing the 1,000 acres of land. I should at least tell you. It's just that I'm worried about your wife. I'm afraid you will tell her, so I didn't say that the 1,000 acres of land were for Yuan Qing to reward soldiers. In the battle of Harry Lake, I wiped out all the contributions of Yuan Qing, but Yuan Qing felt that the opponent was unfair, so I gave him land and asked him to share it with the soldiers who made meritorious deeds. Xuangan, this matter cannot be guessed by the emperor, otherwise the Yang family will have a great disaster, so I didn't tell anyone."
Yang Xuangan was speechless. He didn't expect it to be like this. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Then my father should tell me about this to my second uncle. No one knows about this, so he made such a fierce thing."
Yang Su shook his head, "The problem is not here. With your second uncle's caution, wouldn't he think I have a deep meaning? It's only ten days at most from the capital to Luoyang. Why didn't he send someone to ask me? He just wanted to punish Yuan Qing so impatiently, so I can't figure it out, Xuangan, don't you think the family's emotionality is too heavy?"
"It's a little bit!"
As the truth slowly emerged, Yang Xuangan also realized many problems. At that time, Yuan Qing seemed to be punished in a family carnival. The punishment was too heavy. Although it calmed down the dissatisfaction of the family members, it was unfair to Yuan Qing, and he also realized that his escape was not appropriate.
Yang Su is not just about losing his temper today to save anything. Through this incident, he has discovered many disadvantages of the family. If these disadvantages are not resolved, then after he dies, the family will completely sink into decline.
"Xuangan, your biggest weakness is indecisiveness. You are too accommodating to your clan members. I can't say that you did something wrong. You will be the head of the family in the future. Of course, you have to consider the interests of most clan members and not favor your son. Just as you said, the state has national laws, and the clan has clan rules, but......"
Speaking of however, Yang Su's tone began to become stern, "Do you know why the Han people are always no match for the Hu people? Are the Han people's military armor is inferior to Hu people? Are the Han people's financial resources are inferior to Hu people? Or are the Han people's fewer people than Hu people? None of them are the Han people's defeated because of improper employment? Mediocre talents come to command the army, and truly talented people are not valued, so they are defeated again and again, and the country is almost destroyed. Why is this happening? It is the deep-rooted legitimate and illegitimate elders in your mind. My Yang family finally has an excellent child. Because he is a concubine's son, he is strangled by your so-called clan rules and so-called legitimate and illegitimate elders and young people!"
Yang Su's emotions began to be excited, and his whole body was trembling with excitement. He worked hard to cultivate good talents for ten years, and was driven out of the Yang family by these jealous mediocre talents, these short-sighted tribe members, and destroyed them, making him feel full of hatred.
Yang Su was excited and caused a violent cough, which made him heart-wrenching and he was almost breathless. Yang Xuangan hurriedly supported his father, "Father, you have a rest, stop talking."
At this moment, Yang Su's throat sweetened, and she spewed out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
Yang Xuangan suddenly panicked and turned around and shouted, "Come on!"

The family meeting was finally held in front of Yang Su's sickbed. More than 20 concubines of the Yang Family Xuan generation gathered in the room. Yang Shen and Yang Yue sat next to the elder brother's sickbed, one left and one right, holding Yang Su's hand.
Although Yang Su vomited blood, she quickly woke up again, but she was weak and could not move while lying on the couch. He tried hard to tell all the people in the room: "You... go and take my grandson back immediately. I don't allow you to punish him like this. Go quickly!"
"Brother, you can rest assured to recuperate. Let's take him back now and we will definitely take him back." Yang Yue gently patted Yang Su's hand and comforted him.
"What about you guys!"
Yang Su stared at the legitimate sons in the room again and asked, "Do you object to me to bring him back?"
"Master, please rest assured to recuperate! We don't object." Everyone said in unison.
"The doctor is here!" someone said at the door.
Yang Yue immediately stood up and said, "Everyone should step down! Let the head of the family see a doctor and rest."
"You... must bring Yuan Qing back!" Yang Su saw everyone leaving, he ordered again.
"Brother, don't worry anymore, let's pick it up right away."
Yang Yue took his legitimate sons out. An old doctor was about to enter the house. Yang Yue suddenly grabbed him and whispered: "Our head is too tired, so he needs to rest."
"Don't worry! I'll check him out."
The doctor went in, and Yang Yue waved his hand to everyone and said, "Everyone goes to the middle hall, let's discuss it."
Everyone followed Yang Yue to the central hall to sit down. Yang Xuangan had just told Yang Yue why his father gave the land to Yuan Qing.
Yang Yue had actually guessed that there must be a reason for the elder brother to give the land to Yuan Qing, but he believed that this was not a land issue, but to maintain the dignity of the clan rules. Yang Yuanqing insulted the elders in public, which would never be tolerated. Whose interests are important now? Is it the family or Yang Yuanqing?
"Let's talk about it! What should I do about this?"
Yang Shen said coldly: "I don't think the punishment of the family is wrong. We can't let him go because of his personal preferences. He doesn't take the family seriously, uses imperial power to suppress clan power, insult the elders, and contradicts the mother. We all see it. I can't accept such a Yang family."
Yang Xuan sighed, "My father thinks that Yuan Qing is a talented person. If he trains him well, he will become the pillar of our Yang family. Although he is a concubine's son, we should use him out of order."
"Brother, you're wrong!"
Xuangan's younger brother Yang Xuanzong stood up and said, "No matter how talented Yuanqing is, he cannot be above the clan rules of the Yang family. Whether a family is prosperous and long-term depends not on a certain talent, but on the strict clan rules. Everyone must abide by clan rules, legitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate ill
"I agree with Xuan Zong's opinion that clan punishment is not a joke. If clan punishment is determined, it must not be easily abolished."
"I also agree that if you want to take Yuan Qing back, you must first change the clan rules and not put the cart before the horse."
Everyone opposed it, and Yang Yue waved his hand, "Let's do it! Everyone raises their hands to vote. We mainly focus on the majority of opinions. Those who agree to take Yuan Qing back should raise their hands."
There was a silence in the lobby, and no one raised his hand and was silent. Only Yang Xuanzhao, who was sitting at the edge, raised his hand. Yang Xuangan's hand was only half raised, but when he saw that everyone was opposed, he hesitated for a moment and slowly withdrew his hand.
"But...how do you explain to your father?" Yang Xuangan asked his uncle.
"I just want to know everyone's opinions first. As for how to explain to my elder brother, I have my own ideas. Xuangan. If you tell your father later, I will say I will pick up Yang Yuanqing."
The clan meeting was dispersed, and Yang Yue walked out of the central hall with his hands behind his back. He waved his hand and called a housekeeper and told him: "Send a servant to find Yang Yuanqing and tell him that he can go back to the house. In addition, don't let him know that the head of the family has returned."
