All Hail Cousin Brother

Heiyi was unwilling, and wanted to persuade him: "Young Master..."

"Uncle Chen, an evil dragon stretched out its claws to kill people. Do you think it was the dragon itself that was guilty, or the claws that killed people?"

Zhou Linghuai lowered his head and flipped through the book in his hand. His profile was pale and thin, with a heartbreaking morbid color, and he was indescribably handsome. well.

Uncle Chen's expression became complicated and unspeakable, he clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, the veins on the back of his hand jumped, and the knuckles of his five fingers turned white.

"Because the shot was one of the dragon's claws, cutting off one of the dragon's claws is considered revenge? You kill with your right hand, and I cut off your right hand, is this revenge?" There was a hint of coldness on his lips. In the same eyes, there was no light in the sky: "I don't think so, killing people is just right."

"Killing one's life, it's just and righteous", licking the tip of his tongue and chewing it slowly in his mouth, was terrifying.

A calm voice came from above his head, like a deep pool without waves, but as if a turbulent dark tide was brewing, the man in black suddenly raised his head, and the word "slaying the dragon" suddenly appeared in his mind, his eyes were shocked, stunned, complicated, Excited to a variety of emotions.

Zhou Linghuai asked quietly, "What do you think?"

The man in black tried hard to calm down the shock in his heart, and quickly analyzed the situation in his mind: "Since the shock of Youzhou three years ago, the situation in the court has become more and more tense. The cabinet, Wei Ninghou and other honorable courtiers are the hands of the courtiers, the courtiers form a party for selfishness, enrich their own pockets, corrupt the law, the honorables are rampant, domineering and arrogant, and the vassal kings everywhere are eager to move."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, looked up at the young master, and saw that the young master was holding the scroll in his hand, as if he did not hear what he said.

But he knew that the young master was listening.

"Cangzhou, Liangzhou, and Yunzhou are not very stable. Dongyi, Xirong, and Nanman invade the surrounding area and fight with the vassal king Lulu who guards the three states. Every time there is damage, the three vassal kings complain a lot, and the vassal is inferior. Make it clear to the emperor, ask the emperor to send troops to help."

"I heard that a few years ago, King Fengzhao of Liangzhou came to Beijing, and in front of the civil and military people of the court, he cried with snot and tears, saying that Liangzhou was bitter and cold, and he could not even pay taxes. They want money, food, and soldiers, and the soldiers in his army, who haven’t changed their armor for three years, ask the emperor for money and food.”

Speaking of this, the man in black seemed to be disdainful.

"Do you think they are crying poor?" Zhou Linghuai lightly lowered the corners of his mouth and closed the booklet gently: "They cry for life, whoever cries the most ugly, shameless, and cowardly, is the most reassuring. They won't follow in the footsteps of King You, they are smart, they have battles, injuries, and poverty, such vassal lands are what some people most want to see." Zhou Linghuai's tone was full of irony.

The man in black was stunned for a moment, and he understood the meaning of the young master.

The four state vassal kings guarded the surrounding area, originally to guard the territory, and there was a need to exist only when there was a battle. If there was damage and poverty, the court would not worry about the vassal king's self-respect.

King You guarded the northern border and fought with Bei Di all the year round. It was the most bitter and cold place in the four states.

Bei Di is a large tribe. The Di people are tall and big, good at riding, shooting, and fighting. Every autumn, they will go to the border town to burn, kill and loot.

Zhou Linghuai narrowed his eyes slightly: "If he can let go of his dignity, he doesn't even want his face, it means that he has a plan, and the plan is so big that it is not even worth mentioning dignity, and he can even lose his own dignity. Doubling it back."

The man in black breathed for a while: "Young Master, what do you mean, King Ping..."

Zhou Linghuai interrupted him with a cold voice: "Send someone to keep an eye on Liangzhou."

"Yes!"

Yu Youyao walked away with Chunxiao and Dongmei, and couldn't help but think that the man in black called his cousin "Young Master", and he was very respectful to his cousin, unlike ordinary domestic servants.

Cousin, he seems to be very mysterious?

And my cousin also mentioned Weining Houfu.

In recent days, she also has some understanding of the various palaces in Beijing. The most popular thing about Weining Houfu is that there is an imperial concubine in the family.

This imperial concubine of Lu Huang was named a side concubine when the emperor was still in hiding. Since then, she has been continuously favored and favored all the way to the harem, and her favor has not declined since then.

Because the Queen's concubine was ill, the imperial concubine Lu was also in charge of the imperial concubine, and all the affairs in the palace were handed over to the imperial concubine Lu. The imperial concubine Lu was in the harem and covered the sky.

As a foreign relative, the Weining Marquis Mansion is also the most prominent family in the capital. There is no one, far from Yu Mansion.

Yu Youyao vaguely realized that she might have accidentally broken a shocking secret about her cousin? !

My cousin suddenly came to Beijing and lived in Yu Mansion. It would definitely not be as simple as defecting to relatives.

Seeing that Miss came back, Chun Xiao held the flower branch in her hand, pursed her lips and said nothing, kept her head down and walked back, a little strange: "Miss, why did you run to the back of the rockery just now, the slaves can't see you."

She and Dongmei almost lost their minds when they didn't see Miss Ying'er at first glance, but luckily the girl came back in time.

Thinking of the thrilling scene just now, Yu Youyao also had some lingering fears: "The flowers on the back of the rockery are more beautiful."

Chun Xiao hurriedly said, "It's not as good as inside the mansion. Miss will not do this in the future."

Yu Youyao nodded absentmindedly, and did not dare to walk around any more. She returned to the wing room, sat for a while, felt a little stuffy in the room, and led Chunxiao and Dongmei to the meditation room.

Along the way, there are strange stones, stacked mountains, and water management, showing a tranquil atmosphere. The ground is full of bluestone bricks with patterns, and evergreen bodhi is planted on both sides.

After a while, Yu Youyao heard the sound of chanting not far away, the meditation room arrived, and Qingxiu, who was guarding outside, greeted him, and led Yu Youyao into one of the meditation rooms.

The room is not big, with only tables and chairs, it looks very empty, the four-legged Boshan incense burner smells of sandalwood, the maid and the old lady stand on both sides with their hands down, and Mrs. Yu is leaning on the purple round longevity colorful brocade to lead the pillow.

On the other side, there was an old woman with a round face, wearing a dark blue embroidered gold five-bat pattern robe, wearing an emerald on her head, her hair was half gray, and she looked older than her grandmother. Some.

Yu Youyao realized that this old woman was Madam Song, the old Fengjun of the Marquis of Zhenguo, and she was also a friend of the grandmother's boudoir period. She respectfully stepped forward to say hello.

Mrs. Song called Yu Youyao to her and held her hand: "During the New Year, I remember that Yaoyao was wearing a red pomegranate flower dress, round and round, and looked at her with joy," she said with patience. Can't stop laughing: "It's only been less than a month, and she has become a big girl. I remember that she will only be ten years old in two months."

ps: Big cousin's scheming surfaced!
