Until now, it was only the formal stage that we had entered the formal stage. We were just preparing to line up outside and slowly enter the ancestral hall. We had nine people including Uncle Chen in the ancestral hall, with more serious and solemn expressions. Nearly a thousand people were arranged neatly in the yard outside the door, all of whom were low-faced and sad.

In fact.

These people outside are not only the helmsmen of the group companies at all levels of the Shang family. Most of them have the bloodline of the Shang family. If you count five generations, you may be one person. However, in this large family with strict hierarchy, you cannot become the main meridian, and your power will be weakened from generation to generation. On the one hand, you cannot threaten the authority of the main meridian, and on the other hand, you cannot distribute too many people.

Uncle Chen stood at the front and still facing everyone.

The voice was loud and said, "Kneel down to worship our ancestors!"

"Crazy"

As soon as this statement comes out.

Shang Taishan, who was standing in the front, knelt first, followed by a few people behind him. Then nearly a thousand people in the yard knelt on the ground. The moment these people knelt down, the entire ground seemed to tremble. I have to admit that this picture was extremely shocking. If it weren't for the appearance in front of me, no one would believe that in today's 21st century, there would be nearly a thousand people kneeling at the same time.

"kowtow!"

Everyone held the ground with both hands and slowly bumped towards the ground with their foreheads. The sound of bangs could be heard vaguely.

Shang Yang is the same. He can no longer remember when he kneeled down last time. It seems that he has never kneeled for anyone since he has memory. But at this time, he feels at ease that except for the tablet in front of him, he seems to feel the so-called "group effect" that after a person integrates into a group, the rules of the group will invisibly affect a person.

At the same time, it seems that I have touched something else. My own mental construction is already very strong. In this situation, I am still "driving with the flow". So have these people outside lost their personality after years of influence?

This is a very scary thing.

However, it is also reflecting why the Shang family can last forever.

Because these people gather together, they invisibly create an emotion called family honor, which no one will break and are all maintaining.

He kowtowed three times in a row, and everyone stood up.

"The patriarch speaks!"

Shang Taishan took two steps forward, walked to the tablet and stopped, turned around, and faced everyone. At this moment, this figure, who was over 70 years old, was not decayed at all, but shone brightly under the eyes of everyone. I don’t know what it felt like to face everyone’s devout gaze alone?

Shang Taishan took a deep breath.

The eyes were like torch, and the sound was like a loud bell: "Today, we came to the Shang family ancestral hall again to worship our ancestors, and felt the difficulties of our ancestors' entrepreneurship, the spirit of indomitableness, and the character of tenacity..."

"For hundreds of years, our Shang clan has the greatest virtuous and virtuous, inspiring to practice, prosperous people and glorious careers. This is the blessing of the merits of our ancestors and the witness of the hard work and self-improvement of our descendants!"

"The ancestors have already left on the yellow crane, and are glorious and pious to the descendants. The Shang clans who stand here today should promote the virtues of ancestors, promote deepen clan friendship, think about the mutual connection between blood and blood, and think about the source of the common ancestors. Our clans should put the interests of the whole clan first, regardless of the branches of the side, be polite and honest, and be united with sincerity..."

"The road to the pass is as iron as iron, and now we have taken the step back and forth. Our people should regain the strength of their relatives and then smooth the wind, extend the blessings of future generations and protect their descendants..."

"Finally, I hope that our clans will work together to keep their fortunes for generations, and to unite the strength of the whole clan to create unparalleled achievements. I hope that our clans will work together to make a name forever, gather the souls of the clan to create the world's brightness."

"The Shang family will never fall!"

The last few words are shouted out.

It was like a rolling thunder exploded in everyone's ears. Shang Yang could clearly feel that the blood in his body was boiling. He was stimulated by this old man's short sentences and could clearly feel that not only himself, but also behind him, nearly a thousand people present became boiling at the same time.

Looking at Shang Taishan's eyes again, it was no longer the piety I had just said, but the worship of the gods. It can be imagined that if it was on the battlefield, Shang Taishan's words would definitely make these people fearless and move forward bravely.

They just responded with their eyes, and no one spoke.

Because it is not suitable for being too restless in this occasion.

Uncle Chen spoke again: "After the ancestor worship ceremony, we will do the second item below and choose the head of the family!"

"Crazy"

As soon as the three words "Choose the head of the family" were released, the atmosphere changed and everyone standing in the yard looked at Shang Yang almost all their eyes because the candidate was very certain, it was him, not someone else.

Shang Taishan then said: "I am over 70 years old and my energy is getting worse. I am thinking of my ancestors' great achievements and dare not continue to handle it. Today, I will select the next head of the Shang family, leading the whole clan to forge ahead and move forward bravely. The new head of the family should do my best to the top, and the whole clan should do my best to be united and be united. No matter who the new head of the family is, the whole clan should do my best to assist and obey orders. Those who violate the violation will always be expelled from the Shang family. In severe cases, they will never die!"

After he finished speaking, his eyes swept around everyone's faces like a knife.

Shang Yang was in the middle and was scratched by his eyes. At this moment, he felt like his face was cut open by a knife, and it hurt so much.

Wait until he finishes reading it and retracts his gaze.

Uncle Chen took a step forward: "Close the door!"

Then a few people guarding outside the ancestral hall walked in and closed all the doors of the ancestral hall, making the inside and outside the ancestral hall two unconnected worlds. Choosing the head of the family will inevitably involve some issues, and these issues are not worth telling outsiders. It is not good to know them all, just tell them the result.

There are no lights in the ancestral hall.

The light is sunlight shining through the white veil on the door, but it is also isolated partly, making the ancestral hall look dim and dark. In addition, hundreds of tablets are placed in front of it, and the atmosphere makes people feel a little weird.

but.

It is not as serious as being watched by nearly a thousand people, and can relax.

Shang Taishan was the first to relax, slowly turned his hand back, staring at the three of them and said, "The only three of you are the heirs of the Shang family. You don't need to mention your understanding. The winner will be the new head of the Shang family. The leader of the Shang family will be pioneering and enterprising, and continue to move forward. The losers must unconditionally obey the conditions of the head of the family. Do you know?"

No one can refute this moment.

"Know…"

"Know…"

"Know…"

The three of them bent over slightly at the same time.

Shang Taishan took his eyes away from the three of them, looked at Chen Fengtian and the other four of them, and said slowly: "You four are the largest leaders of the Shang family area. They not only shoulder the responsibilities of the region, but also shoulder the mission of jointly starting a business for our ancestors and continuing the eternal mission. Which of the three of them is more suitable, who is more capable, and who can lead the Shang family further, is all factors that need to be considered, so... you must think about it and invest before you can change it!"

"yes!"

The four people also bent down at the same time.

Shang Taishan nodded, his face slightly cold: "You three have anything to say now or have any imaginations about the future. Also, the five tribes of the Shang family are the same source. No matter who comes to power, they must not suppress or persecute other tribes!"

This must be explained clearly. If a family takes office and destroys another family, the Shang family will not be able to continue to this day.

However, this is just a saying. After all, the Shang family has been lush since their ancestors. Each heir of the Shang family has corresponding supporters within the family. No matter who comes to power, the family will not sink, but the people in the family will sink. Now the situation is special, Shang Taishan has only two sons and one grandson.

So this is just a reminder and does not play a decisive role.

"yes…"

The three nodded again.

"What do you want to say..."

Shang Yang hesitated, thinking that what he should say at this time is not only to find a way for himself, but also to Wei Donglai, Chen Fengtian and others to find a way for them to have a high-sounding reason for voting. After thinking about it, he still didn't stand up. The issue of seniority needs to be considered, and it is not his turn to speak first.

"call…"

Shangmaru's breathing became rapid, his eyes looked forward, staring at the tablet without blinking, with only four words written in his eyes: "Life". He wanted to speak, but when he knew the result, he was just a joke, so he didn't speak.

"I have a few words to say..."

Shang Yin stood up and said with a true voice: "Old man, all the tribe members, before today, I have reflected on all my experiences over the years. I went to China at the age of 22 to found Shangshi International, and returned to the family to manage Las and other businesses at the age of 44..."

"Until a month ago, twenty-six years of grinding horses and grinding soldiers, I thought I was ready and capable of everything. However, when facing the powerful impact of time, I just took out three axes. After the three axes, I became helpless and could only stop the loss in time and flee with the remaining funds. It was really embarrassing!"

"Out of my understanding of my own abilities, facing up to my personality, and thinking about responsibilities, I think I am not competent for the head of the family, and my ability is not focused on leading my clan members to glory. Therefore, in order not to waste anyone's trust, I will live up to anyone's expectations."

"Decision: Give up inheritance!"

After he said that, he bent down slowly.

Shang Yang's mind buzzed, feeling incredible. He knew very well that Shang Yin would definitely support him, but he didn't expect to support him so much. His giving up not only means to let these people vote, but also to express to people outside after the matter is over: You all move closer to Shang Yang, don't need to stand on my side...

It's equivalent to no longer wanting any power!

In an instant, a warm current slid across Shang Yang's heart. Although he had never opened his mouth to call his father, he really felt what fatherly love was. From the heart, not everyone can give up everything on their own initiative, and they don't have any right at all.

The four people behind him didn't expect that they could do this, and their eyes were a little complicated.

Shang Taishan's mouth trembled without any trace, and anger arose in his heart. In his heart, humility and friendship have never been the driving force for a family to develop. We must fight, fight with outsiders, fight with internal people, fight at any time!

It’s shameful to give up on your own initiative!

He sternly said: "Agree!"
Chapter completed!
