All Hail Cousin Brother

Ye Hanyuan once said when beating the drum of news that in order to cover up his crimes, the Marquis of Changxing even sent troops to surround the Yamen of the state capital and imprisoned Ye Xiaoci's family.

It would be difficult for Ye Hanyuan to escape from the northern border on his own, and there must be Ye Xiaoci's help.

Ye Hanyuan suffered many assassinations and persecutions along the way, and narrowly escaped death before reaching the capital. Ye Xiaoci would not be unaware of this either.

All this has to do with the gentry.

It seems that Ye Xiaoci has long been dissatisfied with the gentry.

The imperial court issued national policies, which also gave Ye Xiaoci a headache. The government was the first to take in and resettle the refugees. The interests of the government and the interests of King Wu Mu were invisibly consistent.

However, in fact, it was not a good thing for Ye Xiaoci to have a relationship between the court official and the vassal king.

However, Princess Shaoyi, who belonged to the same royalist party as the Linjiang Ye family, became a warm medicine for the relationship between the two parties, and became a bridge for cooperation between the prefecture's Yamen and Prince Wu and Mu's palace.

At that time, the royalist party was still in charge of the Queen Mother. In the eyes of outsiders, everything Princess Shaoyi and King Wu Mu did was in the interests of the royalist party and was to assist the country.

The interests of both parties are consistent. This is a change in the current situation, which will produce inevitable results. Everything is more logical and does not mean that there is any ulterior cooperation between the two parties.

All of this was a tacit consensus between Ye Xiaoci and King Wu Mu.

However, the subsequent changes in the court situation caught the royalists by surprise. The most affected was the government office of the state government, which had the same interests as King Wu Mu.

The yamen of the state government were responsible for taking in and resettling the refugees. Without the support of the gentry, it would be difficult to accomplish this task. However, the gentry ignored the "national policy". There were more than one million refugees, which put pressure and threats on the government. Whenever something went wrong, the government and Prince Wu Mu's Palace would be the first to bear the brunt.

How could nearly 300,000 refugees in Liancheng be properly resettled so quickly?

It was because Yu Youyao had taken over the gentry families headed by the four Liancheng families and took the initiative in the future development of sericulture in Liao Province, forcing them to contribute money and effort.

This also forced Ye Xiaoci to separate the checks and balances and become the opposite of the gentry. On the premise of consistent interests with King Wu Mu, he reached further cooperation.

Because of the death of King Zhou Li that year, the gentry had an inherent illusion that the government would just watch the dispute between the vassal king and the gentry with a cold eye and would not intervene.

In addition, the government and the Han family are far away in Xi'an, so news lags behind.

After Zhang's complaint, Ye Xiaoci immediately imposed martial law in Xiangping, and Princess Shaoyi was also there. He immediately controlled the public opinion in Xiangping, diverted the attention of the Han family, and allowed the Han family to focus on Baifu and her. body.

The nobles have not yet noticed that the situation in Xiangping City has undergone subtle changes.

Therefore, from the beginning, Ye Xiaoci's position was completely consistent with hers. From the time she went to the Yamen to play drums and complain about her grievances, the Yamen of the state government had already reached a consensus with her on dealing with the Han clan invisibly.

Therefore, in a sense, Ye Xiaoci is the main force against the Han clan.

That's why the case progressed so smoothly.

Nothing stands in the way.

General Yu Youyao recalled everything that had happened since he came to Liaodong, and connected the doubtful points with each other. Then he was shocked to realize that Yin Huaixi had laid a big chess game in the northern border, and he even did not know it. Unconsciously, he pushed her to become a chess player, turning the vast northern territory into chess pieces on her fingertips.

And he himself became the most powerful chess piece in her hands, guiding her step by step to achieve his goal of cannibalizing the power of the gentry and further controlling the northern border.

Every step he takes takes advantage of the situation and is logical.

Make it impossible to notice.

Zhang's complaint has been going on for half a month. Ye Xiaoci delayed the progress of the case in order to cooperate with her to deal with the Han family's public opinion offensive.

Xiangping City is not made of stone, and the martial law can only be on temporary alert. Information can only be released to the outside world, which will cause obstacles and delays for a period of time. If comprehensive martial law cannot be implemented like Quanzhou Prefecture, news will still be missed.

Thinking about it, the Han clan in Xi'an has already noticed something is wrong through various news channels.

However, everything was too late.

Public opinion is almost brewing, and Yin Huaixi's chess layout is completed.

When Ye Xiaoci opens the trial, it is time to reap the fruits.

Yu Youyao couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, the soldiers are so fast!"

During the period of information blockade, the witnesses and physical evidence related to Liu Dagen's case were quickly and directly in their hands, without giving the nobles any chance to react.

This is the result of the efforts of the state government yamen, King Wu Mu, and Princess Shaoyi.

Killing the chicken with a butcher's knife, the consequences can be imagined.

As the "victim" of Princess Shaoyi, she was represented by Ye Xiaoci in the front, the Linjiang Ye family charged into battle for her, and the calm Yu family in the back escorted her.

…

On the second day, Yu Youyao got up when she was young. After a simple make-up and wash, she had breakfast and asked Dongmei to help her change into her official uniform. Regular clothes are not so particular and can be worn in ordinary times. Most of them are attended to some banquet occasions to show one's special status.

Regular clothes are also made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They are divided into spring, summer and autumn and winter. They are divided into long skirts and long coats according to the hot and cold seasons. Although the materials used are regulated, silk, silk and other materials are within the regulations, and you can choose them by yourself.

Therefore, although the crown uniforms of the same grade are similar, there are also certain differences due to differences in materials and different titles.

If the crown uniform is worn out, you can pay for it yourself and send it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for repair. You can also go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to apply for a new one every three years and exchange the old one for a new one. However, you need to pay for the materials required for making it.

Some big families spend a fortune every year just to renovate and apply for crown uniforms.

A long dress with long sleeves in true red, trimmed with a true purple branch pattern, and embroidered with golden clouds and phoenix patterns. The headdress is made of pearls and emerald beads to celebrate the cloud crown. It is lighter than the emerald crown of the dress, but it still looks magnificent.

After Yu Youyao changed her clothes, she got into the carriage and went to the Yamen of the state capital.

At this time, the news that the case of Liu Dagen's death was to be heard publicly in the prefectural government office had spread throughout Xiangping and surrounding counties, and was still spreading.

Because of this case, the case became a sensation. It lasted for half a month and involved Princess Shaoyi. It attracted strong attention from the general public. The news spread to the whole world. There were even many idle people who specialized in the case. People from all over the country rushed to Liaodong to further observe the development of the situation.

When the carriage arrived at the Yamen of the state capital, the streets near the Yamen were already overcrowded and noisy.

Yu Youyao discovered for the first time that there were so many people in Xiangping City.
