Staring at the photos of his parents, Ye Chen was filled with emotion. He couldn't help but whisper softly: "Dad, my son is now the head of the Ye family. If grandpa had passed on the head of the family to you earlier, I would love for you and my mother."
He will not leave his hometown and go to Jinling, let alone incur the disaster of death..."
"Mom and Dad, please rest assured that my son will definitely find the murderer who killed you two back then and avenge you two!"
Speaking of this, Ye Chen looked at his father's handsome face in the portrait and choked up: "Dad... I know you always wanted to carry forward the Ye family and make the Ye family stand on top of the world. Now, your son has
Decided to carry the banner of your past, one day, the Ye family will surely become the top family in the world!"
After saying that, Ye Chen looked at his mother's portrait again and said with shame: "Mom... they all advised me to go see my grandparents. I believe you also want me to go and see them, but I and
It is true that my grandparents rarely interact with each other, and now that you are no longer here, I really don’t know how to face them, so this matter may not be possible for the time being, and I ask for your forgiveness..."
Afterwards, Ye Chen leaned down and kowtowed three times in front of his parents' tombstones.
Immediately afterwards, he said: "Dad, Mom, my son will stay with you two more today. I may have to return to Jinling tomorrow. At the moment, my son is not ready to disclose his identity, so it is not appropriate to stay in Yanjing for a long time. But in the future I will also
I will often take time to come and see you..."
After saying that, Ye Chen added: "When my son officially reveals his identity to the world in the future, he will definitely bring your two daughters-in-law here with him, and let you two see his other half.
More assured.”
Having said this, Ye Chen felt melancholy in his heart and his tears fell silently.
For the next few hours, Ye Chen didn't speak anymore. He just knelt silently in front of his parents' souls without saying a word.
The Ye family could only see his back from below. No one knew that this man who had just conquered the Ten Thousand Dragons Palace and completely changed the structure of the Nordic royal family on his own was already in tears in front of his parents' graves.
A few hours later, most of the Ye family members knelt down and worshiped under the archway on the mountain.
Seeing all the direct relatives of the Ye family kneeling here, everyone was a little stunned.
Before they could figure out why the direct members of the Ye family were also kneeling on the ground, they were scolded by the soldiers of Wanlong Palace and knelt down again.
As more and more people came up, the foot of the Yelingshan archway was almost full of people kneeling.
At this time, the sky was getting late, and the golden sunset spread over the entire Yeling Mountain, making these white marble tombstones on Yeling Mountain particularly eye-catching.
The setting sun reflected Ye Chen's back on the horizon, and everyone watched intently, waiting for his next instruction.
However, this figure was kneeling there, motionless for several hours, like a sculpture.
Just when the fiery red clouds reflected on the horizon, Ye Chen slowly stood up, turned around, and saw the Ye family kneeling down and slowly walking down from the mausoleum.
The core members of the Ye family, as well as the side members, all looked at him. Most of them were very nervous, except for Ye Zhongquan and Ye Changxiu, whose expressions were full of expectation.
Ye Chen came to stand in front of everyone, looked around, and said coldly: "From today on, the Ye family's ancestor worship ceremony will be changed from once every twelve years to once a year! The form can be simple, but everyone must be more clear-minded.
Come to Yeling Mountain in person to worship your ancestors on the day of the festival, no one is allowed to be absent!"
"In addition, all Ye family members must come to Yanjing every three months for a debriefing meeting to report to the head of the family in detail the business situation of the past three months. No one is allowed to be absent! Listen.
do you understand?!"
In Ye Chen's view, the collateral vassal kings of the Ye family only come to pay homage once every twelve years. This frequency is really too low. It is precisely because of this that they have no loyalty to the Ye family at all.
The family has no actual control over them.
However, from now on, all this must change drastically.
Letting them come to worship their ancestors every year and report on their work every three months is to strengthen the Ye family's control over them.
If the Ye family is compared to a feudal dynasty, what Ye Chen has to do now is to strengthen centralization of power, weaken local decentralization, and firmly hold these vassal kings scattered all over the country in his hands!
