All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 518: Tigers and Wolves Surrounded

Old Madam Yu asked suddenly: "Your father's papers were sent to the capital, and all the crimes investigated are clear. Next, who do you think the imperial court will send to fill Song Xiuwen's vacancy and take charge of the Zhejiang Navy?"

Presumably, in the court tomorrow, the courtiers should discuss this matter.

It wasn't until this moment that Yu Youyao realized how profound her cousin's calculations were: "If my prediction is correct, it should be Ye Hanyuan!"

When Ye Hanyuan entered Zhejiang, it was equivalent to half of Jiangnan, and it was all in the hands of his cousin.

Old Madam Yu was taken aback when she heard this: "During this time, the situation in Beijing has been constantly changing and the rain has been falling violently. I almost forgot that Ye Hanyuan, the son of the state capital who beat the Dengwen drum."

Ye Hanyuan has been imprisoned in Dali Temple since he beat the Dengwen Drum.

After the case of King Zhou Li was found out, Ye Hanyuan was released from prison. He heard that the emperor granted him a house and allowed him to recover from his injuries in Beijing. After that, there was almost no news about him.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yu asked: "I heard that Ye Hanyuan joined King Zhou Li in his early years and made a lot of contributions, which was appreciated by King Zhou Li. It's just that Ye Hanyuan is not good at water warfare, so he may not be able to command Zhejiang water. Teacher, and it is not easy to train sailors, why do you think that the emperor will send Ye Hanyuan to Zhejiang?"

Yu Youyao explained: "He is not good at it, but there must be generals who are good at it in the Zhejiang Navy. The key is that Ye Hanyuan was once appreciated by King Zhou Li. Water battles, I still worry about not having the opportunity to learn when I arrive in Zhejiang, this is just one of them.”

When Mrs. Yu heard this, she put on an attitude of listening attentively.

Yu Youyao continued: "Secondly, for example, the "Grand Concubine Party" of the Marquis of Ningyuan was suppressed by the cabinet, making the emperor very displeased and unusable. Because Song Xiuwen is a direct descendant of the Song clan, the emperor will not trust him, and the other military generals with seniority are too weak to deal with, and even deter the tigers and wolves of the Jiangnan lineage."

Mrs. Yu understood the key point, she sat up straight without even twisting the Buddhist beads.

Yu Youyao smiled: "Grandma, think about Ye Hanyuan's background."

Madam Yu's expression became complicated: "Ye Hanyuan was born as a side branch of the Ye family in Linjiang Prefecture. The Ye family is the number one literary family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. This identity alone is enough to scare all the officials in the south of the Yangtze River."

All over the country in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were officials of all sizes from the Ye family in Linjiang Prefecture, and even people from the Ye family in Yifu. Although Ye Hanyuan was a side branch, but Ye Hanyuan gained power, and in the Ye clan, he was not just a side branch.

Ye Hanyuan's identity is not easy to use in the north.

Then he went to the south, he was like a fish in water, and some people made way for him.

Yu Youyao nodded: "As for the third thing, Ye Hanyuan's father, Ye Xiaoci, is the state capital of Youzhou Prefecture. There will be a lot of trouble, and everyone must be cautious and take a detour, unless Jiangnan thinks of rebelling, otherwise he will never dare to fight Ye Hanyuan."

It's just that it didn't make it clear that Ye Hanyuan's backstage was the entire Northern Territory.

Now that Yin Huaixi has returned to the court strongly, the Northern Territory is already in his pocket, and no one in the court dares to provoke the Northern Territory.

Mrs. Yu was stunned.

Yu Youyao continued: "The fourth is that Ye Hanyuan dared to beat the Dengwen drum and sent the six ministries of the imperial court, including Marquis Changxing, cabinet ministers, officials of all sizes from the northern border, and thousands of gentry to the execution ground, Shangyang Fort, Jiangnan Those people dared not provoke him easily even if they had the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard."

Madam Yu sighed slightly: "You are right,

In the case of King Zhou Li, although Yin Huaixi had many calculations, the key was Ye Hanyuan. Ye Hanyuan shook the entire court by himself. No one dared to provoke him just because of his courage and bravery. , I was afraid of being stunned, this Ye Hanyuan was horizontal and stunned. "

Everyone knew about the death of King Zhou Li, but no one dared to stand up for King Zhou Li.

But Ye Hanyuan dared.

It is impossible for Marquis Changxing to let him do this, and he would have almost survived death in Youzhou.

"Fifth, after Ye Hanyuan beat the Dengwen drum, he has been recuperating in Beijing, and the rewards have not been awarded for a long time. If he doesn't want to reuse it, it is logical to send him back to Youzhou with a false title, but he has to keep it secret. , leaving him in Beijing to recover from his injuries is obviously not only to use him, but also to reuse him."

"The case of Song Xiuwen has moved the interests of the court and the emperor, and completely angered the emperor. If the emperor wants to rectify Jiangnan, he must send a sharp knife that can be used by him. Ye Hanyuan is this sharp knife. .”

Madam Yu said deeply, "You still understand."

Yu Youyao lowered her eyes, not because she could see clearly, but because her cousin never hid it from her, and Jiang Nan was also part of his schemes, so it was easy to infer his cousin's purpose and Jiang Nan's movements.

Yu Youyao changed the subject: "It looks like Father won't be back in time for the New Year."

At least he won't be able to come back until Ye Hanyuan has gone to Zhejiang. In a few days, it will be the new year. Jiangnan is far away, and it will take nearly half a month to travel by water.

Madam Yu waved her hand: "There are so many things backlogged up, this year will not be a happy one."

Li Qiguang was still imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Song Xiuwen's case had opened up such a big mess, half of the sky in the Great Zhou Dynasty had also been broken.

After talking a few more words with her grandmother, Yu Youyao went back to the Tiaoyu Courtyard.

My cousin is also here.

Since most of her cousin's leg disease had been relieved, Yu Youyao also allowed her cousin to stay outside for a while every day, and her cousin resumed her previous habit of going to the Tiaoyu Courtyard every day.

At first Yu Youyao would chatter a few words, but later seeing that her cousin was not feeling well, she left him alone.

And the time my cousin stayed in the Tiaoyu Courtyard was getting longer and longer.

In the past, every day was more than one hour, never more than two hours.

But now, my cousin comes over every morning and stays until you in the afternoon before leaving, early or late, and stays in the Tiaoyu Courtyard all day long.

In Yu Youyao's big study room, there were gradually more books of his cousin, the Four Treasures of the Study.

Thinking about it carefully, Yu Youyao suddenly realized that her cousin's things almost took up a small half of her study.

When they are busy, both of them are busy with their own affairs, and they will not disturb each other. When they are free, they sit in front of the carbon cage, talking and warming up at the same time.

Occasionally, when the mood comes, Yu Youyao will roast corn and barbecue, and share the food with his cousin.

The days passed plainly and warmly.

Seeing her come back, Zhou Linghuai smiled: "I'm back!"
