Chapter 166 Xie Mansion Visits (1)

"The dust of the imperial examination has settled, and these two matters should also be put on the agenda. After the imperial examination in April, I am afraid that a charter will have to be issued. The cabinet is waiting for the reaction of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but has not taken any action, but when it comes to the vassal

King, even if he can't get past "Prince You", the Metropolitan Procuratorate is unwilling to touch the bad luck of "Prince You", and has been slow to take action."

During this time, he was also very anxious.

One of the staff frowned and said, "It's easier to handle it in Liangzhou. We can just order King Ping to go to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit and be punished. But it's not easy to handle it in Youzhou."

Another official also said: "Yes, Marquis Changxing is a direct descendant of Marquis Weining. He has been guarding Youzhou for three years, which is considered stable. For his achievements this time, the emperor must give him a reward. But in this way, wouldn't it increase his authority?"

How arrogant is the Ninghou Mansion? I'm afraid Xia Ge won't just sit back and wait for death, and there will still be a fight when the time comes."

"If there is any trouble in the imperial court, the first one to bear the brunt is the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Now that I have established myself in this position, I should be more careful. Otherwise, I will offend both sides and make people dislike me."

Hearing this, Yu Youyao already knew that his hunch was indeed correct. This stable court situation would soon be in chaos.

Just as Chunxiao was about to speak out, Yu Zong's alarming voice came from inside: "Who?"

The voice stopped, and Yu Youyao simply walked to the door of the inner room, separated by a curtain: "Father, it's me. The food has been prepared and I've brought it to you."

Yu Zong's face relaxed: "Just send it in!"

Yu Youyao opened the curtain and entered the inner room. Chunxiao and Xia Tao followed behind with lowered eyebrows, staring at the tips of their shoes without even glancing at them.

There were three staff members discussing the matter in the room, including his father, a total of four people. Yu Youyao directed Chunxiao and Xia Tao to place hot meals on the Eight Immortals table.

Over there, Yu Zongzheng saw that it was Yu Youyao coming over, so he lost his scruples and continued talking to his staff:

"Youzhou is located in the north. If you retreat, you can rush to the aid of Jingzhao. If you advance, you can fight with the Di people. It echoes Jingzhao from a distance. King You guards Youzhou and frightens the vassal kings. The whole court also has peace of mind. However, King You's rebellion will be punished. Weininghou Mansion

He is a new rich man, and he cannot hold down the vassal kings of the three places for a while, and the situation in the court is getting more and more tense."

After saying that, Yu Zongzheng also sighed loudly, feeling that King You I was a hero.

The staff also said: "The eldest sir is right. In recent years, the vassal kings have not been very secure. In the past, they were afraid of losing the battle and letting King You compete with them. They could not explain it to the court. They fought vigorously, and foreigners also fought hard.

No

Dare to make a mistake, now we are fighting every year, but every time we are presented with a discount, it is not that the war wear and tear is too great, we need to recruit troops, we need money, we need food, we need clothes and weapons, but the court does not provide them, and if we lose the battle, we have no money."

In the early autumn of last year, there was a commotion in the court.

Fortunately, Marquis Changxing, who was guarding Youzhou in the north, won a beautiful victory, so the vassal kings calmed down a bit and lived peacefully for a year.

But as soon as this year passed, the riots started again. Even though the Ministry of War suppressed them, it was not a matter of suppressing them. Sooner or later the riots would break out.

The Eight Immortals' table was filled with dishes.

Yu Zongzheng immediately stood up, sat down on his seat, and greeted a staff member to eat, drink, and discuss matters.

Yu Youyao prepared Zhuyeqing. This wine was fragrant and sweet, not too overpowering, and paired with light and delicious dishes, Yu Zongzheng's tense expression softened.

When she returned to Yayuyuan, Yu Youyao felt a little uneasy, but she also understood that there were some things that she could not intervene in.

In this way, after two or three days, it was the day when Xie Mansion came to visit.

Classes in the first and second bedrooms have been suspended.

Early in the morning, Yang Shuwan was busy making preparations. She was either instructing the maids and ladies to decorate the banquet hall, or she plunged into the kitchen and directed the cooks to cook. She was as busy as a top, and she was not tired. She was dressed

The bright red golden peony looks majestic and radiant, but it is the perfect match for the mistress.

After breakfast, Mr. Yao brought his family to the main room. He first went to greet Mrs. Yu, and then asked Yang Shuwan to help.

Yang Shuwan's subordinates were feeling very proud, but they were not willing to agree, so they said: "We can't bother my brothers and sisters. It's rare for my brothers and sisters to come to the big room. It's better to find the old lady, spend more time with her, talk to her, and spend as much time as possible in front of her."

Some filial piety?"

The words were said politely, but they didn't go down well. Yao's expression immediately turned pale: "Visiting the Xie family is an important matter for the whole family, so I'd like my sister-in-law to take care of it more."

It was not that she was in a hurry to help, but the master specifically asked her to come over early and help more, and that she must not neglect the people coming from the Xie Mansion.

She also knew that the master had entered the Hanlin Academy in his early years to compile a book. At that time, Japanese pirates were rampant along the coast and sea routes were blocked. The master reviewed the history books and realized that the trade routes were open and beneficial to the country and the people, so he went to Quanzhou with the support of Xia Yansheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, and wrote

He published "Haice Lun" and submitted it to the court.

It was also with this book that the imperial court sent troops to suppress Japanese pirates, opened up sea routes, opened shipping companies, and prospered along the coast.

It was only now that I joined the Ministry of Household Affairs, and it was thanks to this that I was able to successfully join the Cabinet later on.

As soon as she got married, she heard the old lady say that the old man was able to write "Haice Theory" because he had a lot of help from the Xie Mansion. That's why the Yu Mansion formed a fate with the Xie Mansion of the Quan Mansion.

Xie Roujia married into the Yu Mansion.

The master remembers his kindness back then. As a daughter-in-law, she naturally wants to follow her husband's lead.

Yao returned to Anshou Hall.

Mrs. Yu was not surprised. She pointed to the chair next to her and asked, "I wonder how Brother Yan and Brother Xin have been doing with their recent studies?"

Mentioning this, Mr. Yao finally had a smile on his face: "Every three days after I leave the Yamen, I will call them over to take a test. He says they have improved more than before. Even Brother Xin, who always loves to play,

Recently I have been able to concentrate on studying."

When Mrs. Yu heard this, she was very happy: "This is a good thing. You have to call people over and give you a good reward."

But Yao said with a smile: "I would also like to thank Ling Huai. Ling Huai is a few years older than them. He is also calm and has learned well in his studies. In school, it was Taila who took Brother Yan and Brother Xin to study together."

Brother Yan has always been a little unconvinced when he mentioned Zhou Linghuai.

But now I am convinced.

The smile on Mrs. Yu's face deepened. She could think of Yaoyao and help the Yu family, which showed that Zhou Linghuai was also a grateful person.

Yao continued: "Brother Yan is doing better, especially Brother Xin, who usually doesn't like to learn, so Ling Huai told him about the past in Youzhou and the war. Where did Brother Yan go in the past?

Have you heard this? You became interested. After finishing speaking, Ling Huai asked Brother Yan, if the Di people come to kill them, how will you fight back the enemy? Don't make Brother Yan difficult? "
