Chapter 468 - 435: A New Era
June 18th.
Yang Zhenshan received a bulletin from the Capital City detailing the posthumous name and temple name granted by the court to Emperor Chengping.
Chen Zhaowu, Emperor Rong Chongzong, Revered for Heavenly Piety, Embodiment of the Dao, Benevolent, Enlightened, Sincere, Venerating Cultivation, Solemn in Warfare, Ultimate in Virtue, Vastly Filial, Resolute Emperor.
The moniker Chongzong carries connotations of grandeur and prosperity; evidently, the court also recognized Emperor Chengping’s meritorious deeds in revitalizing the empire.
Following this was the ascension of the Crown Prince to the throne. The ministers urged the enthronement, a threefold persuasion, and a threefold refusal, to manifest filial piety and magnanimity. The Crown Prince, Chen Jianzhi, ascended the throne on September 26th, and in the following year the era name was changed to Yanping, signifying the continuation of peace.
The bustling of the court had little impact on Yang Zhenshan, and not much on Chongshan Town either.
Chongshan Town continued to develop according to Yang Zhenshan’s plans.
And the Yang family smoothly passed through the 35th year of Chengping.
The 35th year of Chengping was a turning point for many.
With the passing of Emperor Chengping and the ascension of Emperor Yanping, the court ushered in a new era.
Yang Zhenshan took charge of the General Mansion in Chongshan Town, assuming military and political control, signaling a new era for Chongshan Town.
