All Hail Cousin Brother

When Yu Zongzheng heard this, he didn't think there was anything wrong. Instead, he agreed: "Xiaoyao is filial to her mother, and even my father is a little jealous."

Of course, this is just a casual remark.

A man should have the world in his heart, aim at the court, and make achievements. The elders in the family must rely on his wife and children to take care of him and his mother. Only by taking good care of his mother can he feel at ease in the court.

Mrs. Yu narrowed her eyes with a smile, and didn't say much. She turned to look at her granddaughter: "Show me quickly, what good things have you brought me this time."

There was a clear condescension in his tone.

Yu Zongzheng was amused.

Yu Youyao took the box in Chunxiao's hand and gave it to her grandmother: "It is good to warm the body in autumn. I made ginseng Yangrong Pills, which invigorates Qi and blood, but the effect of nourishing the spirit is very good, but this recipe is more nourishing, It is more suitable for the weak, or the elderly, so there is no preparation for the father."

Yu Zongzheng didn't care about this: "My mother is old, so she should make up more."

During this time, he also used a lot. The medicinal tea and medicinal incense sent by Yu Youyao, how could he compete with his mother for this filial piety.

Mrs. Yu laughed so hard: "It took a lot of energy to think about it. I didn't know how to make perfumes and medicines, and it was not an easy task. I just needed to do it according to the recipe and it was done. Later, I asked Xu Only then did you know that this thing is the most exhausting, so you should pay more attention when you are young."

Yu Zongzheng was also a little surprised, and he didn't expect this fragrance to be made easily.

Yu Youyao pursed her lips and chuckled: "Ginseng Yangrong Pill is not difficult to make, and it doesn't take much effort. Don't worry, grandma."

After she finished speaking, she asked Bai Shao to pour warm water, took a pill herself, served it to Mrs. Yu, and then explained, "One pill a day is enough."

After the two grandmothers talked about their relationship, it was time to talk about business.

Yu Youyao sat beside her grandmother.

Yu Zongzheng said: "At the court meeting this morning, Ning Yuanhou suddenly participated in the performance. He is currently the governor of Zhejiang Province and holds the post of participating general, Song Xiuwen, the general in charge of the coastal wars in Ningbo, Shaoxing and Taizhou."

Yu Youyao was stunned when she heard it, and then she realized that the pamphlet her grandmother showed her earlier recorded all the influential figures in the Song family.

This Song Xiuwen was in the front.

Song Xiuwen used to preside over the wars along the Shandong coast in the Shandong area before, but after the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang became infested, he was transferred to Zhejiang.

Song Xiuwen is a descendant of the Song family, holding military power, and is a top official of the third rank.

Mrs. Yu frowned: "What crimes did you participate in?"

Marquis Ning Yuan was not a good man, so he was daring and instructed Marquis Changxing to persecute the royal family, stealing the military power of Youzhou can see that this man has great ambitions.

Even if it was, because the Marquis of Changxing was implicated, he was demoted to the title, and because the dynasty refused to fight, the emperor was dissatisfied, but so many people were implicated in the King You case, but he, the real culprit, was still able to sit firmly in the court. hall.

The emperor wanted to keep him true, so why didn't he have his own means, and didn't he really let people get the handle?

Since he blatantly participated in Song Xiuwen's performance, the accusation of participating in the performance was not groundless.

Yu Zongzheng said: "General Zero has participated in seven or eight crimes, colluded with bandits at sea, robbed merchant ships at sea, and made huge profits from it; killed civilians, pretended to be Japanese pirates, and extended merits to the court; accepted bribes from local officials and gentry, It is reasonable to say that he is full of personal pockets and so on, and the Marquis of Zhenguo even quarreled with Marquis Ningyuan at the time."

Mrs. Yu sucked in a breath of cold air: "This crime is not a light one. In detail, many of the crimes are equivalent to those of the Marquis of Changxing. What's the emperor's reaction?"

Song Xiuwen is not some little-known person, but a territorial official with a heavy army. Because he is good at water warfare, he has fought against Japanese pirates all year round, and has accumulated a lot of prestige and reputation for the Zhenguohou family.

It seemed that this time, the Marquis of Zhenguo was going to suffer a big downfall.

Yu Zongzheng's face was also not very good: "The emperor was furious, and appointed the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel as the minister of imperial envoys. The Ministry of War and the Supreme Court sent officials to accompany them to assist in the thorough investigation of this case. On the side of the Supreme Court, the emperor ordered I."

Mrs. Yu was stunned for a while, and her face was solemn: "Zhejiang is a murky pond, it is not easy to travel, in the court, a person can't make mistakes, the more crimes, the greater the number of people involved, the more they are involved. The bigger it is, Jiangnan has been a place of wealth and taxation since ancient times. The Song Xiuwen case is involved, I am afraid that it is even worse than the King You case. The emperor asked you to participate in this case, I am afraid it will be a disaster rather than a blessing. "

Yu Zongzheng thought so too, so after going down to court, he didn't even go to the yamen, he went back to the mansion and asked his mother to discuss the matter.

But Yu Youyao, who was listening from the sidelines, didn't think so. The first thing she thought of was that King You's case was very involved, and there were many vacancies in the court.

Yu Zongzheng was originally a fifth-ranking officer in the Ministry of Personnel. Although he had no achievements, he was not wrong. Later, he was transferred to the prefectural court, and there was also the result that the Xie family was angry and secretly operated because of the death of his mother.

It can be said to be bright and dark.

Of course, everyone in the Yu Mansion was well aware of this.

But no one dared to say a word.

This time, Yu Zongzheng performed outstandingly in the case of King You at the Trial of the Three Divisions. He won the emperor's commendation, and was entrusted with the important task of assisting the imperial commissioner in handling the case.

I think that if the emperor can be satisfied this time, Yu Zongzheng will probably transfer the personnel department!

The Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six departments.

Yu Zongzheng's status is not only a rising tide, but a real official and an important official, holding authority and becoming a real powerful minister.

Her previous guess was correct, the emperor did intend to support the Yu clan and reuse the Yu clan.

At the same time, Yu Youyao also understood that Song Xiuwen was 80% unable to keep it.

Just thinking about it, Mrs. Yu sighed slightly: "It seems that Song Xiuwen may not be able to keep it. You assist the Ministry of Personnel in handling the case, and try to make the case as clear as possible..."

The case of King You made the emperor extremely distrust the courtiers.

The case of Song Xiuwen is also related to the emperor's money bag.

Cultivation, alchemy, offering sacrifices to the heavens, and cultivating a dojo all required money. The wars along the coast directly affected the interests of the emperor, and even the Marquis of Zhenguo did not dare to intervene in this case, so as not to provoke Longyan's anger.

Yu Zongzheng thought the same thing in his heart, but: "My son understands this, it's just the Duke of Zhen..."

The fall of Song Xiuwen was not enough to shake the foundation of the State Marquis Mansion, but it had a huge impact, enough for the State Marquis Mansion to drink a pot.

The father looked for the grandmother to discuss the matter, but the grandmother called her directly. Even for such a big matter, the grandmother and the father did not shy away from her conversation.

Yu Youyao thought for a while and said, "Father, you never thought about it, you are just an official, why did the emperor want you to participate in Song Xiuwen's case? You just said that the official who accepted the case was also a minister of imperial envoy. Minister of Officials?"
