All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao pursed her lips.

Zhou Linghuai smiled: "In the case of Yue Wumu, it was not until the end of the Southern Dynasty that Lizong's accession to the throne was completely clear. Why do you think this is?"

Yu Youyao felt uncomfortable: "Yue Muwu's death was not the fault of Prime Minister Qin, but the fault of Emperor Gaozong. The descendants of the descendants dared not talk about the merits and demerits of their ancestors, so loyal ministers were always wronged. How difficult it is for people to be completely rehabilitated, or even to be rehabilitated."

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "So what?"

Yu Youyao's face was not good-looking: "Cousin, firstly, he took advantage of Shandong's power to suppress rebellion, and secondly, he took advantage of the cabinet's power to suppress Ning Yuanbo's clan headed by the emperor, and thirdly, he took advantage of the world's long-standing public opinion. The emperor had no choice but to rehabilitate King Li of Zhou."

The reason why Emperor Gaozong did not rehabilitate Yue Wumu was because the Lord and faction who killed Yue Wumu gained power.

Cousin had learned from the previous experience, and blocked the way of Ning Yuanbo and the cabinet from the beginning, and let the cabinet contribute to it. The emperor originally intended to rehabilitate King Li of Zhou, but because of the cabinet, he had to rehabilitate cleanly.

In addition, the situation in the north is unstable. My cousin proved that he has the ability to stabilize the situation in the north with the battle in Shandong.

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "Not bad!"

Yu Youyao said angrily: "The emperor gave you Wu Mu because he wanted to take advantage of Yue Wumu to give you kindness and kindness, so that you should remember his kindness for your father's vindication, always warn you, remember kindness, and want to use this to manipulate you. Cousin also has the intention of threatening, if he can rehabilitate King Zhou Li, he can naturally overthrow him, if you don’t want King Zhou Li to fall into Yue Wumu’s end, cousin should be willing to be driven by him.”

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "Exactly!"

Yu Youyao's eyes were already red with anger: "So, he sealed your father Zhou Li Wang, the word [li] can be a posthumous posthumous title of stern, serious, fierce, grinding, and sharp, or it can be an evil posthumous title of desolation, violence, and murder. , whether it is praise or evil, it is all up to his thoughts, it is really vicious, so sinister, and it is an emperor's ingenuity!"

She hadn't guessed this before, she was just happy for Zhou Li's vindication and for her cousin.

As everyone knows, the malicious intentions of this edict have been hidden in it.

Knowing that she was angry, sad, and distressed for him, Zhou Linghuai lightly stroked her hair: "Whether it's King Zhou Li or King Wu Mu, that little trick is trying to drive me, but it's just wishful thinking."

Yu Youyao knew that his cousin was not someone who was easily manipulated by others, but he was still indignant in his heart: "A dignified king of a country, he doesn't think about governing the court and the officials, but he plays with power all day long. It's so hateful."

Others felt that the emperor's chasing after his cousin Wu Mu Dingbei was a high regard for his cousin.

But she only felt wronged for her cousin.

Zhou Linghuai supported the silk flower on her head: "A wicked dragon, if you kill it, it's not worth taking your own breath away." After speaking, he cut the hot venison again and put it in front of her: " Venison should be eaten hot."

The understatement seems to be just casually spoken.

But Yu Youyao knew that this had been planned for a long time. From the moment my cousin entered Beijing, the whole world was a chess piece.

Yu Youyao didn't feel bad, but was a little scared, so she had to pick up chopsticks and eat venison.

The roasted venison is very tasty, and the taste is salty and not greasy, so Yu Youyao likes it very much.

Zhou Linghuai took a wine urn and poured a glass of wine for her: "Tomorrow, I'm going out of the city, do you want to go with me?"

The sweet wine and the heavy venison complement each other.

Yu Youyao held the luminous cup with a sweet smile: "It's freezing outside, why did my cousin leave the city?"

Although he was reluctant to let his cousin go out in the cold, he also knew that his cousin had always lived in a secluded place, and there must be something important that forced him to leave the city.

Zhou Linghuai's eyes deepened: "Well, seeing off an old friend."

Yu Youyao understood: "Go with my cousin tomorrow, and bring the deer blood wine that I soaked yesterday. It's cold today, drink a glass of deer blood wine, and practice it, it's the best. already."

Since the cousin opened his mouth and let her go with him, the grandmother wouldn't be in the way.

Zhou Linghuai nodded.

On the second day, after a gloomy day for more than a month, it finally cleared up.

After the early dynasty, Yu Youyao got the news——

After a preliminary investigation, the court ordered Jiang Du to investigate the numerous charges against Song Xiuwen brought by Ning Yuanbo, and participated in the investigation of Song Xiuwen's revolution.

Ye Hanyuan temporarily took his place, and immediately went south to temporarily take charge of the coastal wars in Ningbo, Shaoxing, and Taizhou, and assist in the investigation of Song Xiuwen's case. .

The orange-red sun, hanging lazily in the sky, also made people feel depressed, and it also cleared up together.

A carbon cage was placed in the carriage, and there were wind-shielding curtains on the four walls, which was also warm.

Yu Youyao and her cousin chatted casually: "Linjiang Yefu has been in business from generation to generation. Ye Hanyuan's father, Ye Xiaoci, is a civil official. As his eldest son, why did Ye Hanyuan join the army instead of taking the imperial examination?"

Zhou Linghuai said: "Ye Hanyuan is Ye Xiaoci's eldest son. Logically speaking, his son should follow his father's aspirations and become an official, but Ye Hanyuan stuttered when he was young and was not valued by his father, and he was bullied and ridiculed a lot because of this. , gradually became dull and autistic, and because he grew up tall and strong, in Youzhou he was known as Ye Dasha."

"What?" Yu Youyao wondered if his ears had misheard, and with his own power, Ye Hanyuan, who messed up the entire Chao Gang, even stuttered, and was nicknamed Ye Dasha?

This reminds me of mentioning Ye Hanyuan with my grandmother before, and my grandmother said that Ye Hanyuan was both horizontal and stupefied.

She still thought it was strange at the time, Ye Hanyuan angrily beat Deng Wen's drum, the word "horizontal" was barely appropriate to use on him, but where did the "horrific" come from?

Although there was so much curiosity in her heart, she pretended to have something on her mind at the time, and didn't get into it.

After listening to my cousin's words today, I realized that this "Leng" actually came from this.

Zhou Linghuai knew she couldn't believe it, so he smiled: "Stuttering, although it is not a serious disease, it damages the image of the court and is not allowed to participate in the imperial examination."

Yu Youyao was speechless for a while, and then asked after a long while, "The day Ye Hanyuan angrily beat the Dengwen drum, I passed Chang'an Avenue and listened to him along the street, calling out the ten sinners of the Marquis of Changxing, every word and every word, but no stutter. How did he do after that? of?"

Zhou Linghuai's eyes were slightly deep: "This is a long story..."

After chatting all the way, Yu Youyao's mood gradually became heavy. How many lives were buried in the King You case, and how many sons and daughters were buried?

Before I knew it, I went to the Fengbo Pavilion outside the city.
