All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 369: Dengwen Drum

Nanny Li hurried forward and shook Yang Shuwan awake: "Madam, Madam, wake up, Madam..."

Yang Shuwan screamed and waved her hands, and it took a while for Nanny Li to wake up. She screamed "Ah", and suddenly sat up from the bed, shrinking her body to the side of the bed, trembling.

Seeing that her mother was in a bad mood, Yu Jianjia was very worried: "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you? I'm Jiajia..."

"No, don't kill me..." Yang Shuwan huddled and talked to herself, it took a while to calm down, she raised her head, stared blankly at Yu Jianjia, and was dull for a while: "Jia, Jiajia, you, why are you here?"

Yu Jianjia's eyes were wet, and she said in a hoarse voice: "I begged my grandmother to come and see my mother, mother." Tears rolled down from her eyes suddenly, and she choked up her voice: "Mother, you have suffered."

Yang Shuwan was so excited that she rushed over and hugged Yu Jianjia, crying bitterly: "Jiajia, you, you finally came to see your mother, I, I thought you didn't care about your mother..."

The mother and daughter cried together, and Yu Jianjia said in a choked voice: "The day my mother entered the meditation house, my daughter fell ill. My father invited Dr. Hu to come to the mansion to treat my daughter. It took me a few days to recover from it. The grandmother was worried about her daughter's health, so she didn't let her see her mother. I'm sorry, it's my daughter's unfilial piety that caused my mother to suffer..."

When Yang Shuwan heard that she was ill, she became nervous, she quickly pushed Yu Jianjia away, looked at her carefully, and sure enough, she was pale, with no blood at all, and her heart ached with pain: "My son! , how is your health? How did Doctor Hu say it, is it serious..."

Yu Jianjia cried while wiping her tears: "Doctor Hu said that my condition has worsened a lot and I need to be taken care of carefully. I have already discussed with my grandmother and decided to go to the hot spring village in the suburbs of Beijing to recuperate. My mother is about 10 years old. For a while, I haven't been seen anymore, but even though I went to Zhuangzi, I would bring some of Zhuangzi's things into the mansion from time to time and give them to my mother..."

Yang Shuwan's eyes widened for a moment, and she screamed hysterically: "What? Yu Youyao, that bitch, wants to send you to the Zhuangzi, no, no, you will be weak when you are young, and life in the Zhuangzi is no better than that of the mansion. Li Jingjing? She is trying to harm you in a different way, I, I, I will go find her..."

After finishing speaking, she wore white single clothes with disheveled hair, and ran outside barefoot, both embarrassed and crazy.

Even Yu Jianjia was shocked.

Fortunately, Nanny Li pulled her back: "Madam, Madam, please calm down and listen to what Miss San has to say?"

Yang Shuwan lost her mind, and kept screaming: "What else can I say, Yu Youyao, a bitch, clearly wants to harm Jiajia..."

Looking at this scene, Yu Jianjia also knew that her mother was a little out of order, and felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.

During this period of time, her father did not treat her as well as before. He always said that Yu Youyao was the only one in her heart. Yu Youyao was the only one in the old lady's heart. Yu Youyao took care of the huge family. Her mother was rejected by her father, and now she has become like this again. As the third young lady of the Yu Mansion, her status in the mansion is not as good as before, and her life is as good as before.

Without her mother planning for her, what should she do in the future? !

The third lady was going to Zhuangzi to stay for a while to recuperate, and the mansion took care of it carefully. Yu Youyao explained to the steward of the mansion, and cooperated with the request of the hospital, so she didn't intervene in this matter.

Aunt Su is a quick person, and it took two days to tidy up.

Take a few carriages and things to Zhuangzi first to put them away.

On the third day, the mansion spent money to hire more than a dozen skilled guards with swords from Wucheng Bingmasi, and sent a carriage to escort Yu Jianjia to Zhuangzi.

As the eldest sister, Yu Youyao was supposed to see off Yu Jianjia, and sent Yu Jianjia all the way out of the city gate. After watching Yu Jianjia's carriage go away, she returned to the city.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

"Boom boom boom..."

"Boom boom boom boom..."

"..."

Sitting in the carriage, Yu Youyao felt numbness in her ears, and the sound of "dong dong dong" sounded like muffled thunder after another, one after another, and one urgent sound, it slammed into her ears and rushed into her heart. The heavy rain fell into her heart like a torrential rain, shaking her heart.

"This voice is..." Yu Youyao's face turned pale, and she suddenly opened the curtain of the car, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and go back to the house immediately..."

As soon as she finished speaking, there were chaotic voices on Chang'an Street——

"It's the Dengwen Drum, someone rang the Dengwen Drum..."

"Oh my god, the Dengwen drum has been struck..."

"It's not a major grievance, don't beat the Dengwen drum, what happened..."

"Let's go, let's go and see together..."

"..."

"Boom boom boom..." The sound of the drum resounded throughout Jingzhao.

Yu Youyao pursed her lips tightly, her thin body trembled slightly, endured and endured, and still lifted the curtain of the car, the people on the street rushed to the right gate of Chang'an.

It was noisy and messy.

Emperor Gaozu established the capital in Beidu, placed Dengwen Drum outside the right gate of Chang'an, and ordered the six ministries to take turns in charge of Dengwen Drum during the event.

Anyone who beats the Dengwen Drum will be responsible for 30 days, and if he does not die, he can immediately go directly to Tianting, and the emperor will accept it in person.

Anyone who obstructs it will be punished as a traitor.

Because of the 30-year-old rule, the common people shy away from Dengwengu. If it were not for serious grievances, no one would dare to beat Dengwengu.

Therefore, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the number of Dengwen drums has not been played many times.

But there are only a few times, and each time is a bloodbath.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, there was a year of floods in the south of the Yangtze River. An official in the south of the Yangtze River went to Beijing to beat the Dengwen drum, and sued the Ministry of Industry, the eunuchs who collaborated with the supervisors, and the local gentry. , the people were killed and injured countless times...

Emperor Gaozong personally handled the case, appointed an imperial envoy to give Shangfang the sword, and allowed him to cut it first and then play it. As a result, this Shangfang sword was killed all the way from Jiangnan back to Jingzhao, and went all the way to the deep palace. More than 300 courtiers, eunuchs, and gentry , Killed a blood flow into a river, and killed the courage of the ruling and the opposition.

In addition, under the encouragement of Fan Dengwen, if there is a statement of confidentiality and seriousness, it will be sealed with a copy of the letter.

Therefore, in addition to "appealing injustice", Dengwengu also made important and confidential reports.

Therefore, even if few people beat the Dengwen Drum, no one in the court dared to neglect the Dengwen Drum, for fear of delaying important secrets, beheading is still a matter of importance.

Yu Youyao didn't expect that this would happen to her as soon as she returned to the door. She lowered the car curtain with shaking hands, and her face couldn't help turning pale again and again.

-----Off Topic-----

The explanation about Dengwengu in the article is quite clear, so I won’t popularize it. Well, at the end of the month, remember to vote for the monthly ticket!

Hmm, guess who beat the Dengwen drum?
