All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao drafted the letter, handed it to the Queen Mother, and sent someone 700 miles away to rush it to Beijing.

After that, he ordered someone to go to the magistrate's yamen to borrow a map of Liancheng, prepared a sand table, and played with it against the mountains and landforms on the map.

When Yin Huaixi entered the hospital, he saw her looking at the map and playing with the sand table. She couldn't help but pause in her steps, but there was a turbulent wave in her eyes.

Even the generals in the army who have experienced hundreds of battles may not be proficient in Kanyu view.

During the war, the general who is proficient in maps will draw the landforms separately, review them on the sand table, and explain them to the generals who lead the troops. The generals who lead the troops have experienced hundreds of battles. Although they do not understand the map, they can simplify and reconstruct it. After playing the game and explaining it, you will naturally understand it, and you will soon be able to set up tactics based on the landform after reviewing the game.

He never taught Yu Youyao how to view.

Yu Youyao first came into contact with maps. When he went to Shandong to suppress the rebellion, he used the maps of Shandong to play with the sand table in the house. It happened that Yu Youyao came over to look for him. Seeing that he was serious, he did not disturb him. He just held his chin and sat at the table to read. With.

Yu Youyao fiddled with it for a while, then looked up and saw Yin Huaixi standing not far away, looking at her, and said quickly: "Brother Nineteen, come here and help me see if the sand table is placed correctly."

After coming to the north, she didn't even know what to call Yin Huaixi.

You can't call me cousin, brother Jing Zhi is too unruly, and King Wu Mu is too distant, so it's not okay to call him by his first name. After struggling for a long time, he just called me brother 19.

She was hung on the jade plate of the clan in the name of an adopted daughter. Yin Huaixi ranked nineteenth in the clan, so it was appropriate to call her Nineteenth Brother.

Yin Huaixi agreed happily and took the map and looked at it for a while: "It turns out that the landforms in the mountainous area in the north of Liancheng roughly match what is depicted on the map."

Then, he helped make minor adjustments. While adjusting, he also explained to her, teaching her how to accurately measure the ball, lay out the sand table, etc.

Since you have talent, no matter whether you have the opportunity to use it in the future, you must teach it carefully.

When the landscape of the entire northern mountainous area appeared in front of Yu Youyao, Yu Youyao's eyes widened: "It's as if the entire northern mountainous area has shrunk and is placed in front of my eyes. Every mountain and water can be seen in my eyes."

Yin Huaixi asked her: "Why did the sand table suddenly appear?"

While observing the terrain on the sand table, Yu Youyao said: "I want to see which places in the northern mountainous area are suitable for settlement and sericulture. People say that they will help people to the end and send Buddhas to the west. Since I have intervened in the affairs of the refugees, I will always This must be done properly.”

Yin Huaixi was not surprised either.

Yu Youyao focused on Fuzhen and Liuzhen recommended by her grandfather, and asked what Yin Huaixi meant.

Yin Huaixi smiled: "A few days ago, I took people who are proficient in soil and forestry to inspect the northern mountainous area. Both Lian Town and Fuzhen have natural tussah forests, which have the advantage of raising tussah silkworms. Also because of the small population, there is no The development of sericulture is not under the control of the four major families, but it is suitable for the refugees to settle. Once the matter is finalized, I will personally take people to drive away wild animals in the mountains, plan the sericulture area, and move the refugees there in batches. "

Since Yin Huaixi had already made arrangements, there was no need for her to worry about it. Yu Youyao was completely relieved: "I sent a letter to the Yu clan. The Yu clan values ​​fame and fortune, but they have inherited the pride of Duke Zhonglie in their bones. They are also rare in the court. Those who are willing to stand up for the people will definitely take action as long as their own interests are not harmed."

Even a man like Yu Zongzheng, who was greedy for profit and had no shame, went to Zhejiang to provide disaster relief personally and spared no effort, and was even stabbed by the mob.

A clan that has been passed down for hundreds of years inherits not only culture, but also the spiritual will of the family.

The human heart is changeable, but the spirit is immortal.

It has only been three months since she left the Yu Mansion, but Yu Youyao has already learned how to manipulate the Yu clan and use it to her own advantage without violating the other party's interests. It can be seen that she has grown her horizons and broadmindedness.

Yin Huaixi nodded: "Every move of the vassal king is subject to the control of the court. To deal with the gentry, you need to rely on the Yu clan behind you and the huge channels of the Xie Mansion."

This is a battle between gentlemen against gentlemen and gentry against gentry.

Fortunately, both the Yu family and the Xie family have the ability to compete with the gentry.

Yu Youyao nodded: "Liaodong is a military town, and there is an official road leading directly to Beijing to ensure unimpeded communication of news between the two places. The news can be sent to Beijing in three days at the fastest. I also handed a message to the Empress Dowager, mentioning your response. Invited to come to the north to help promote sweet potato cultivation, and also mentioned some of the current situation in the north, but did not mention things in Quanzhou."

After Xie Mansion fled Quanzhou, Quanzhou was on full alert. All merchants passing by Quanzhou Wharf were not allowed to enter the city. Outsiders only knew that bandits were killing people and setting fires in the city, but they did not know the specific situation.

The matter in Quanzhou involves the feudal prince who wants to rebel, and she, as a princess, cannot interfere with it.

Liang Zhoujun disguised himself as a bandit, and she had no evidence.

Yin Huaixi's eyes suddenly deepened: "King Liang will rebel sooner or later, and no one can stop it by meddling with him."

Yu Youyao understood that treason would bring disaster to the whole family, and King Liang was not a fool. He had kept a low profile for many years, and thought that he had made complete preparations. By attacking the Xie Mansion, he was adding chips to his hegemony. Even if the court knew the news in advance, It was impossible for King Liang to sit still and wait for death, but Zuo had rebelled in advance.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

History is written by the victors.

——

In February, the earth dragon was still burning in the Shouyan Palace.

Aunt Shen wore a chinchilla fur coat and skirt with a collar, held a folding book in her hand, opened the curtain and entered the inner hall.

The dull heat in the hall, mixed with the lingering smell of medicine, rushed into her nose, making Aunt Shen's head feel dizzy, and her heart felt like it was blocked by something.

She frowned slightly: "The Queen Mother is resting in the inner room. Don't close the windows in the inner hall, leave a small crack, so that the air can change. Don't let the ground dragon burn too much, which will make you feel stuffy. If the room gets cold, you can add a charcoal cage and pour in more soup pots for use."

The maids attending the inner palace quickly bowed in response.

Aunt Shen was worried in her heart and said in a stern tone: "The Queen Mother is not in good health. You all need to take care of her carefully. You must not be careless."

After beating the palace man, Aunt Shen walked around the next door and entered the back room.

The Queen Mother got up, put on a bright yellow inner garment, leaned on the pillow and closed her eyes to meditate.

Aunt Shen walked to the bed without making a sound. The Queen Mother took off her majestic phoenix crown and loosened her hair, revealing the gray hair and white strands that had been hidden in her bun. She had a sick look on her face and looked at the old man. A lot.

She felt a little bitter, bowed, and wanted to call the Queen Mother.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother's eyelids moved, she slowly opened her eyes, and said angrily: "How come you don't make any sound when you walk?"
