All Hail Cousin Brother

Those three simple words warmed Yu Youyao's heart, and she hurriedly said, "I drank a big bowl of ginger soup in my grandmother's house, so I don't need to drink any more!"

Zhou Linghuai couldn't laugh or cry: "I didn't let you drink ginger soup. Yin San hunted a stag. Madam Xu cooked the venison soup herself, put it on the charcoal fire, and drank a bowl to warm up."

Drinking ginger soup every day makes her face bitter, and the expression of death is like going to the guillotine.

Only then did he let Yin San hunt the deer.

It's just that this deer is not so easy to hunt. It depends on luck. Some people in Beijing specially raise deer in the village, but this deer is not easy to raise.

Yu Youyao's eyes lit up: "Eating deer in autumn and winter is better than nourishing it for a year. The whole body of deer is a treasure, and venison nourishes the spleen and stomach, and nourishes Qi and blood. Eating venison in autumn and winter is both warm and nourishing. Cousin should eat more. Deer blood Or, you can brew deer blood wine to nourish weakness, regulate blood vessels, dispel cold and evil, and make deer blood powder, which is also good for my cousin..."

Obviously it was venison soup prepared for her, but the first thing she thought of was the benefits of deer to him.

Zhou Linghuai took the venison soup from Chunxiao: "Drink the soup first."

Yu Youyao took the bowl, but put it aside, filled another bowl of soup from Chunxiao's food cup, and handed it to her cousin: "Cousin, you drink too."

Zhou Linghuai bent his lips.

Madam Xu's cooking skills are very good. The venison soup is stewed fragrant and not greasy, and the meat is very soft and rotten. There are ginseng, angelica, licorice, Fuling, jujube and other medicinal materials in it. Dryness, this dryness comes and goes quickly, and when the dryness goes away, I feel comfortable all over.

Yu Youyao liked it very much: "At noon, let's set up a charcoal stove in the house and roast venison, okay?"

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "There is still some real wine left over from last time, so you can have a drink or two while eating barbecue."

Thinking of the sweet and intense taste of the wine, Yu Youyao's eyes lit up again: "Cousin, you actually hid the wine from me."

Real wine is hard to come by, my cousin distributed some to everyone in the house, and gave her a small bottle as well. Nanny Xu wouldn't let her drink it during the day, but she would let her drink it every now and then before going to bed at night. The small cup, it didn't take long to drink it up.

She thought the wine was gone.

There was a smile in Zhou Linghuai's eyes: "You like wine, so I will keep some more. If you don't hide it secretly, how can you keep it today?"

Yu Youyao smiled and curled her lips: "Since it's reserved for me, it's all mine."

Seeing her wistful eyes, Zhou Linghuai couldn't help laughing: "It's yours, it's all yours. Let Chang'an bring it to you later."

Nanny Xu has a sense of proportion and will not let her drink too much at one time.

Yu Youyao was overjoyed: "Thank you, cousin, by the way, have you been dismissed from office in the past few years, or have you been demoted by someone with the surname Lu?"

She just asked casually.

Zhou Linghuai's eyes moved slightly: "There are not a hundred officials surnamed Lu in various parts of the imperial court, and there are dozens of them. I don't know everyone who was dismissed or demoted, but there is one who is quite special."

Yu Youyao hurriedly asked: "Who is this person?"

Being able to take out "Ji Feng", a person with a big heart and ambition, doesn't look like an ordinary court official at all, maybe it's the person my cousin mentioned.

Seeing her curiosity, Zhou Linghuai said: "Lu Guangren, the former minister of the Ministry of punishment, was born in a poor family. The reputation of the cabinet once far surpassed that of the first assistant, Xia Yansheng, and Xia Yansheng was on the same court as Xia Yansheng, checking and balancing each other, but they lived in peace."

Yu Youyao's eyes widened: "What happened next?"

Zhou Linghuai said with a smile: "Four years ago,

The emperor announced that King Zhouli would enter Beijing, and Lu Guangren strongly opposed it. However, Xia Yansheng claimed that he was sick at home, and there were people in the cabinet colluding with officials of all sizes in the northern border and noble gentry. Serve the emperor. "

Unexpectedly, Lu Guangren was actually related to the case of King Zhou Li, Yu Youyao frowned: "With Lu Ge's status in the court at that time, and his status as a veteran of the two dynasties, to persuade the emperor to withdraw his order is only fulfilling the responsibility of a courtier. , Removing him from his official position seems a little unreasonable, is there any inside story behind it?"

For some reason, she inexplicably felt that Lu Jifeng's grandfather was probably this glorious old Lu Ge.

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "King Li of Zhou committed suicide in the golden palace. The courtiers only wanted to cover up the truth. Lu Guangren was furious and uttered nonsense in the court hall, pointing out that the emperor was a king in vain and shaking the country. Because his words were alarmist and treasonous, The emperor charged him with the following crimes, and considering that he was a veteran of the second dynasty, he was asked to resign in the name of his old age."

Yu Youyao sighed in her heart for a while: "For an old official like him, the most painful thing is that the king he is loyal to does not point out the country, and the king has the heart of the world, but he only sits in the sky and plays with power. Love for power has become a trend, causing loyal ministers to die in vain and being stigmatized, this official probably won't do it."

Otherwise, as Lu Ge's elder, it might not be so easy for the emperor to dismiss him from his official position.

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "Shortly after Mr. Lu Ge was dismissed from office, his whereabouts were unknown. Earlier, the case of King Zhou Li was kept secret in the court, and few people mentioned it. It is naturally the same for Mr. Lu Ge who resigned because of King Zhou Li. Even now King Zhou Li was rehabilitated, but Lu Ge always resigned because of his old age and "himself", let alone anyone mentioning it."

Lu Ge's nonsense words back then have been verified now, even for the sake of the emperor's face, no one dared to mention this person.

The dignified veteran of the two dynasties, once an official to a deputy prime minister, has made great contributions to the country and virtuous to the world. He has only been away from the court for three or four years, and no one cares about him. I'm afraid someone deliberately downplayed Lu Ge's previous achievements in the court. Deliberately obliterating his former reputation is simply a great irony.

Looking at Lu Jifeng, one can tell that this old Lu Ge who used to have power in the court has probably already been buried in the loess.

Yu Youyao frowned, and sneered: "Is it that no one mentioned it, or did no one dare to mention it? The cabinet agreed on the follow-up matters of the case of King Zhou Li. , but the only one who bypassed Mr. Lu Ge, if he said there was nothing tricky about it, no one would believe it."

The fact that Mr. Lu Ge was dismissed from his official position was obviously inseparable from Xia Yansheng.

If Xia Yansheng didn't mention Mr. Lu Ge, who would dare to mention it?

Thinking about the inaction of the cabinet in these years, Yu Youyao didn't know that Xia Yansheng pushed the old man Lu Ge away, which made the originally clear and bright government become more and more troublesome.

Zhou Linghuai changed the subject: "Why did you suddenly ask this?"
