Chapter 422 - 407: Joyful Events Abound
For several consecutive days, the Yang Mansion was thronged with guests. Many nobles and military generals came to offer their congratulations, and even those who could not come personally sent servants with congratulatory gifts.
Consequently, Yang Zhenshan had to devote his energy to dealing with these congratulatory visitors.
This was a good thing for the Yang family, as it meant they were being integrated into the circles of the nobles and military, not just relegated to a corner in Liaodong as before.
Although the current foundation of the Yang family was still in Liaodong and Chongshan Town, they were now considered a family of nobility with status in the Capital City.
However, the Yang family had no one holding an official position in the Capital City, which was a drawback, and Yang Zhenshan could not stay in the Capital City for an extended period, so the bustling scene at the doorway was only temporary.
Whether the Yang family could secure a foothold in the Capital City depended on Yang Zhenshan’s future development in Chongshan Town.
The situation of guests gathering en masse lasted for seven to eight days, finally calming down after the imperial grant of a mansion and land bestowed by Emperor Chengping was handed over to Yang Zhenshan.
The Marquis Wuxin Mansion had been confiscated, and the Ministry of Revenue did not delay, promptly handing over the land deeds and farm titles to Yang Zhenshan.
At the same time, the plaque of the Marquis Mansion was replaced by the Ministry of Industry with the one for Marquis Jing’an Mansion.
In the current turbulent times of court politics, the efficiency of official departments increased substantially, especially since these matters were ordered by Emperor Chengping—both the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry showed great enthusiasm.
Of course, the affairs of Marquis Jing’an Mansion were minor matters. The real big event was the ceremony to establish the Heir, the enthronement of the Crown Prince, requiring the performance of sacrifices to heaven and earth, the Imperial Temple, the altars of soil and grain, and to the mother of the Crown Prince—this was a significant event for both the country and the court.
