Yong Ming's father attached great importance to their proposal for the establishment of an heir.
But the emphasis is not on the content of their suggestions, but on the actions and intentions behind proposing heir proposals.
This shows that there is a force in the Yong clan who wants to influence them to change the selection of the young master of the Yong clan, change the identity of Yong Rong Ming, the young master of the Yong clan, to the young master of the Yong clan, and let Yong Rongzhen ascend to the throne and succeed him as the head of the Yong clan in the future.
Bit.
He loved his only two sons, and they were both taught and raised equally.
His best friend is Mo Ruofu. He appreciates his eldest son Yong Rong Ming from the bottom of his heart. He knows that he is a clear thinker, considers things carefully, has a calm personality, is courageous in doing things, and has a courageous personality. If he trains him carefully, he will definitely succeed as the head of the Yong clan in the future.
He takes this position to protect the Yong family and ensure the peace of the family.
At the same time, he also had a deep regret, that is, he did not have the opportunity to realize his wish to recall the "Four Davids of the Yong Family".
These loyal subordinates have been guarding the four gates for the Yong clan in other provinces for nearly a hundred years, and have made great contributions to the security of the Yong clan that thrives in Anqiu.
Wanting to recall the "Four Davids of the Yong Family" to his side was what he wanted to do after taking over as the head of the Yong Family.
However, the social environment and political background at the time prevented him from making this determination.
During the Wanqing period, social unrest intensified, the current situation was unstable, banditry occurred frequently in various places, political affairs were blocked, and people's morale was imbalanced.
After suffering the disastrous defeat of the "Sino-Japanese War of 1898", the Qing government learned from the painful experience and implemented the "Reform Reform" in order to strengthen itself. However, it was resisted and sabotaged by the conservative forces of the court. In the end, it only lasted for a hundred days and died prematurely, losing its self-innovation.
Opportunities for self-improvement.
When the weak country had not yet come out of the shadow of defeat, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces invaded China only two years later, which caused such a huge country to collapse under the heavy load and completely lose its dignity.
As the prairie fire of the Revolution of 1911 spread across the country, the suffering Chinese people finally established the Republic of China after arduous struggles.
However, Yuan Shikai, who held the high position of President of the Republic of China, went against the historical trend and restored the imperial system only five years after the founding of the Republic of China, triggering the "War to Protect the Country."
Subsequently, the Republic of China entered a chaotic period under the rule of the Beiyang government. Various political forces came to power in turn, and orders were changed day by day. The country only maintained a peaceful political system on the surface, but in fact it was divided by warlords in various places and formed a self-contained entity.
Under this situation, Yong Ming's father did not have the right time to issue an order to recall the "Four Davids of the Yong Family" and bring them back to Jian's side.
He left his wish to his son to realize, and he believed that only his eldest son Yong Rongming could do it for him.
Even through his son's own efforts, he can revitalize the long-dormant "Yongwang Guard" and enable the "Yongwang Guard" to play its due role in protecting the country and the people in this era of strife and chaos.
He longed for his beloved son Yong Rongming to lead the "Yongwang Wei" to find a bright path for the nation, become the guardian of the people, uphold justice in the world, punish evil and promote good in people's hearts.
He buried this wish and expectation deeply in his heart, and when the right day came, he would explain it to his son Yongrong Ming.
As for his second son Yong Rongzhen, he felt that he was also smart and smart, but he had too many ideas, was playful, and had an impulsive personality, so he was not good enough to entrust him with important responsibilities.
And maybe Yongrongzhen was influenced by his maternal grandfather and was too fond of money and things. This discovery deeply worried him.
Whenever she talks about this matter to her second wife, Yong Rongzhen's mother, Yong Xiong, as Xiong Guyan's youngest daughter, she is also troubled.
She also didn't like her father's profit-seeking behavior, and whenever she took her children back to her parents' home to visit her parents, she would often give them some words of admonishment.
Her father, Xiong Guyan, took his advice very seriously and nodded in agreement with his daughter when she advised him not to bring business chores home to handle and not to teach the children bad things, and he promised not to have a negative impact on his precious grandson.
But in fact, he turned around and threw his daughter's words out of the sky, without any restraint, and spared no effort to exert influence on Yong Rongzhen, making him love money and business more and more, and he became closer to himself.
Xiong Guyan did this not because he wanted to harm his grandson, but because he wanted to make his grandson do great things in the future.
He was fully satisfied with wanting Yong Rongzhen, as the young master of the Yong family, to use the Yong family's strong financial resources to do big business under the big trade, so that he could follow his grandson's glory and make the Xiong family take advantage of the opportunity to develop and grow.
.
Little did they know that Xiong Guyan's move, which seemed to be focused on his grandson's future, actually delayed his grandson Yong Rongzhen to a certain extent, causing him to gradually deviate from the Yong family's family tradition and way of doing things.
The eldest family of the Yong family is not involved in the economy. This is the ancestral precept passed down.
Therefore, members of the Neisan clan who are of the same lineage as the chief family can work as errands in various departments of the clan, but they cannot go to the clan's "administrative office" to handle business-related matters.
The Yong clan has such ancestral precepts, and the descendants of the eldest branch of the Yong clan, who are the direct descendants of the Yong clan, have the sacred mission of being the head of the Yong clan, let alone the economy.
Among the descendants of the Changfang branch, except for the eldest son who is the head of the Yong clan, if the other descendants want to work for the clan, they can join the "Zong Zheng Chu", "Zheng Ben Xuan" and "Ceremony Department" and other departments to receive titles.
If you don’t want to work in a job, you can also study knowledge, write articles, cultivate your character, cultivate your sentiments, and become a leisurely and well-educated person.
Of course, you can also take a panoramic view of the great rivers and mountains, enjoy the beautiful scenery, study abroad, purify your mind and maintain your health, and be a free and happy person.
But I cannot enter the economic path and become a businessman.
This is not because the ancestors of the Yong family look down on people who are engaged in business, but to prevent the descendants of the direct descendants from becoming "big businessmen" and "Confucian businessmen" after ups and downs in the business world, but becoming profit-seeking, valuing profits over righteousness, and ruining the family.
Fenmen lintel.
If a businessman can be called a "big businessman", he must be a person with great righteousness and value justice over profit. However, a narrow-minded person who regards wealth as his life will never become a "big businessman".
Only "big businessmen" have the opportunity to become "Confucian businessmen" who care about the destiny of the country and nation. Only business people who believe in "propriety, justice, benevolence, wisdom and trust" and always practice "God rewards hard work" can become "Confucian businessmen".
The ancestors of the Yong family believed that their descendants would not become money-oriented people even if they were engaged in business, but he was unwilling to take this risk and did not want money to have the opportunity to "corrupt" and corrupt his descendants.
