All Hail Cousin Brother

The simple three words made Yu Youyao feel warm in her heart. She hurriedly said, "I drank a large bowl of **** soup in my grandmother's house, so I don't need to drink it anymore!"

Zhou Linghuai couldn't help laughing and crying: "I didn't let you drink **** soup, Yin San hunted a stag, and Xu mama personally cooked the deer soup, simmered it on the charcoal fire, and drank a bowl to warm up."

Drinking **** soup every day will make her face bitter, and the expression of resignation is like going to the guillotine.

Only then did he let Yin San hunt deer.

It's just that this deer is not so good at hunting. It depends on luck. Some people in Beijing have specially raised deer in Zhuangzi, but this deer is not easy to raise.

Yu Youyao's eyes lit up: "Eating deer in autumn and winter is better than nourishing it in a year. The whole body of deer is a treasure, venison nourishes the spleen and stomach, nourishes qi and blood, and eating venison in autumn and winter is both warm and nourishing, cousin should eat more, deer blood Also, it can be brewed with deer blood wine, which can nourish the weakness, regulate blood vessels, dispel cold evil, and also make deer blood powder, which is good for my cousin's health..."

It was obviously venison soup prepared for her, but the first thing she thought of was the benefits of deer to him.

Zhou Linghuai took the venison soup brought by Chunxiao: "Drink the soup first."

Yu Youyao took the bowl, but put it aside, filled another bowl of soup from the food cup that Chunxiao brought, and handed it to his cousin: "Cousin, you drink too."

Zhou Linghuai bent her lips.

Mother Xu's cooking skills are very good. The venison soup is fragrant and not greasy, and the meat is very soft and rotten. There are ginseng, angelica, licorice, Fuling, jujube and other medicinal herbs in it. Dryness, this feeling of dryness comes and goes quickly, and when the feeling of dryness is gone, I feel comfortable again.

Yu Youyao liked it very much: "We will set up a charcoal stove in the house at noon and roast venison to eat, okay?"

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "There is still some real wine left over from last time, but you can have a drink or two when you eat barbecue."

Thinking of the sweet and strong taste of wine, Yu Youyao's eyes lit up again: "Cousin, you actually hid the wine so that I don't know."

Real wine is hard to come by. My cousin distributed some to everyone in the house and gave her a small bottle. Mother Xu would not let her drink it during the day, but every other day, she would let her drink one before going to bed at night. Small cup, it won't take long to drink.

She thought the wine was gone.

There was a smile in Zhou Linghuai's eyes: "If you like wine, I will keep more. If you don't hide it, how can you keep it today."

Yu Youyao smiled and bent her lips: "Since it was reserved for me, it is all mine."

Seeing her sullen eyes, Zhou Linghuai couldn't help laughing: "It's yours, it's all yours, I'll have Changan send it to you later."

Madam Xu is measured and will not let her drink too much at one time.

Yu Youyao was overjoyed: "Thank you cousin, by the way, has the DPRK been dismissed from office in recent years, or is it someone with the surname Lu who has been demoted?"

She also asked casually.

Zhou Linghuai's eyes moved slightly: "There are not a hundred or dozens of officials surnamed Lu in various parts of the court. I don't know everyone who was dismissed or demoted, but one is quite special."

Yu Youyao hurriedly asked, "Who is this person?"

Being able to take out "Jifeng", a man with a big mind and ambition, doesn't look like an ordinary court official, maybe it's the person his cousin said.

Seeing her curiosity, Zhou Linghuai said, "Lu Guangren, the former Minister of Punishment, was born in a poor family. The reputation of the cabinet once far surpassed that of the first assistant Xia Yansheng, and Xia Yansheng and Xia Yansheng were in the same court, and they checked and balanced each other, but they were at peace with each other."

Yu Youyao's eyes widened: "What happened later?"

Zhou Linghuai said with a smile: "Four years ago, the emperor announced that King Li of Zhou would enter the capital, and Lu Guangren strongly opposed it. However, Xia Yansheng said that he was sick at home, and there were people in the cabinet who colluded with officials and gentry in the northern borders. Shan Ligu was ultimately unable to persuade the emperor."

Unexpectedly, Lu Guangren was really related to the case of King Li of Zhou, and Yu You frowned: "With the status of Lu Ge Lao in the court at that time, and the status of the elder of the two dynasties, to persuade the emperor to take back his order, he is only doing his duty as a minister. , it seems a little unreasonable to dismiss him from the official position, is there any inside story?"

For some reason, she inexplicably felt that Lu Jifeng's grandfather was probably this old Lu Ge who was Guangfengyueji.

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "King Zhou Li committed suicide on the golden hall, and the courtiers only wanted to cover up the truth. Lu Guangren was furious, and he made outrageous remarks in the court hall, directly accusing the emperor of being a monarch, and shaking the country and society, because his words were alarmist and outrageous. The emperor placed him on the following charges, and remembering that he was a veteran of the second dynasty, he asked him to resign in the name of his old age."

Yu Youyao sighed for a while in her heart: "For an old minister like him, the most painful thing is that the king he is loyal to, does not give guidance to the country, and has the mind of ruling the world, but he only sits and watches the sky, plays with power, and the court and the opposition are greedy. Power and love have become the norm, causing loyal ministers to die in vain, and stigmatizing them.

Otherwise, as an old man of Lu Ge, it would not be so easy for the emperor to remove him from office.

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "Not long after Lu Ge was dismissed from office, his whereabouts were unknown. Earlier in the court, the case of King Zhou Li was very secretive, and few people mentioned it. Because of King Zhou Li's resignation, Lu Ge is naturally the same, even now King Li of Zhou was rehabilitated, but Lu Ge always resigned because of his old age and "himself", so no one mentioned it."

What Lu Ge said in the past has been verified, and no one dared to mention this person because of the emperor's face.

The dignified elders of the two dynasties, who were once officials to deputy ministers, had meritorious deeds in the society, and had virtues in the world. After only three or four years away from the dynasty, no one cared about them. I was afraid that no one had deliberately downplayed Lu Ge Lao's previous achievements in the dynasty. Deliberately smearing his former fame is simply a great irony.

Looking at Lu Jifeng, you can tell that this old Lu Ge, who used to be powerful, has probably already been buried in the loess.

Yu Youyao was stunned and sneered: "No one mentioned it, or no one dared to mention it? The cabinet has agreed on the follow-up matters in the case of King Zhou Li. , but only bypassed Mr. Lu Ge, if you say that there is nothing tricky about it, no one will believe it."

The fact that Lu Ge was dismissed from his official position was obviously inseparable from Xia Yansheng.

Xia Yansheng didn't mention Mr. Lu Ge, who would dare to mention it?

Thinking of the cabinet's inaction over the past few years, Yu Youyao didn't know where Xia Yansheng was against Lu Ge, which led to the fact that there was still some Qingming in the dynasty, and more and more evils were accumulated.

Zhou Linghuai changed the subject: "Why did you ask this all of a sudden?"
