All Hail Cousin Brother

Yu Youyao took a deep breath, and without thinking about anything else, she picked up the "Alchemy Book and Iron Deed" placed under the secret decree. This was the most important thing.

I was frightened for a moment.

The "gold medal to avoid death" is often mentioned in opera.

But in fact, there was no so-called "gold medal for immunity from death" in the past dynasties, only the iron deed (voucher) of the Alchemy Book.

As the name suggests, it is a "book", not a gold medal, but made of fine iron, not gold. It is modeled after the pages of a book, with many words engraved on it.

Because during the Han Dynasty, this deed was written with cinnabar, so it was called "Dan Shu". In later generations, it was mostly written with gold powder or engraving.

It records in detail the time when the deed was granted, the name, official title, and land of the recipient;

Secondly, they will write down the merits of the person who was given the certificate for the court;

Later, write down the privileges granted by the emperor to the recipients. For example, [free from death] is one of them. Of course, there are preconditions for freedom from death;

At the end, the emperor's oath will be written, which probably means treating the heroes well.

The "Dan Shu Iron Deed" is like an open book, divided into two parts. The right deed is kept in the Ancestral Temple, and the left deed is given to the hero for the family to pass on from generation to generation.

If a meritorious official or his descendants committed a crime, the "Iron Deed" awarded should be verified together with the "Iron Deed" stored in the Ancestral Temple before he could be pardoned.

But Yu Youyao knew very well that the "Alchemy Book and Iron Deed" was not as reliable as it actually was.

First of all, from the end, the emperor's oath: "If the Yellow River is like a belt, the Taishan Mountains are like steel, and there are ancestral temples in the Zhou Dynasty, there will be no peerless one."

The general idea is: Unless the Yellow River dries up and Mount Tai collapses, this contract will remain valid as long as the Zhou Dynasty exists.

What the emperor has sworn is the Yellow River and Mount Tai. It is indeed the promise of Mount Tai. But don't forget that the vastness of the world is not only the king's land, but the shore of the land is not the king's ministers. Whether it is the Yellow River or Mount Tai, they are all under the rule of the emperor.

However, although the "Alchemy Deed" is not that guaranteed, it is still a kind of promise. As long as it does not harm the interests of the Tian family and disgust the king, it is basically very reliable.

However, the Alchemy Book and Iron Deed were not given to her.

It was given to Yin Huaixi.

First, it is engraved on it that Yin Huaixi's "dragon vein" leads to Emperor Chengzong and is the real "dragon grandson". It seems to only indicate Yin Huaixi's identity, but it emphasizes the "royal orthodoxy" and adds "dan". The weight of "written iron deed".

Secondly, he briefly explained his father, "King Li of Zhou", and his unparalleled contributions to the great Zhou Dynasty.

Although it is mentioned in one stroke, it emphasizes that "the ancestors are virtuous, and the later generations will have merit."

As detailed later, Yin Huai entered the army camp at the age of seventeen and went into battle to fight against the Di people at the age of twelve. At the age of fifteen, he used his disabled body to imitate the sages of his ancestors. After hundreds of years of suffering in Shandong, he vindicated his father. Later, he was granted the title of King Mu Ding of the North. He guarded the capital of Liaodong, frightened foreigners, stabilized the country, and protected the country. His hard work made great achievements.

At the age of eighteen, during the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were natural and man-made disasters. He helped the court promote national policies, shelter refugees, and resettle refugees...

Every word and every sentence is to the point.

The last sentence: "Embrace the legacy of the great ancestor, benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust, and the five virtues."

Yu Youyao was shocked. She took the box and looked carefully, but found no hidden compartments or traps.

Then, after the Queen Mother lent her hand and gave Yin Huaixi the "Alchemy Book and Iron Deed", she didn't even give her a word. This is a bit funny.

Does this also mean that after the "Alchemy and Iron Deed" was handed over to her, she would have full authority to handle it?

Does it all depend on her own choice whether to give it to King Wu Mu or not?

The Queen Mother gave her the initiative.

Yu Youyao's heart suddenly stirred up a storm. She always felt that the Queen Mother's behavior was really hard to understand. She felt an uneasy feeling in her heart that a storm was about to come.

Yu Youyao quickly put away the golden wooden box and put it in the dark cabinet beside the bed. He called Yin Shi: "Go to Dragon City immediately and tell His Highness that I have something important to ask and ask him to come back immediately." ," After finishing speaking, she reminded again: "This matter must not be known to anyone."

There are still the last batch of victims in Longcheng who have not been resettled.

There are also a group of victims who have contracted the epidemic and need to continue to stay in the shelter camp for isolation and treatment. They can only be resettled after they are confirmed to be fine.

The situation in Dragon City has been decided, and Yin Huaixi's return to Xiangping in advance will not have much impact.

Yin Shi's heart trembled and he responded quickly.

After Yin Shi left, Yu Youyao sat in the room, feeling unable to calm down for a long time.

There are two decrees granting marriage, one for each man and woman. Dragon City is the gateway to the three families in Beijing, so Yin Huaixi must have received the secret decree sent by the Empress Dowager at this time.

Early on the next morning, Yu Youyao took Aunt Xu to the Xie Mansion next door and explained some etiquette and the details that needed attention when wearing clothes.

As soon as the time arrived in Yuzhong (10 a.m.), Eunuch Li brought the emperor's Luanjia guard of honor to Xie's Mansion with great fanfare.

Xie's Mansion is a merchant and cannot invite Eunuch Li into the mansion to welcome him.

Mr. Xie took all the young and old of the mansion and knelt outside the mansion gate to greet him.

Eunuch Li went up the steps and stood at the gate of Xie's Mansion. From a high position, he read out the Empress Dowager's letter of commendation to Xie's Mansion and gave many tributes from the palace.

After the commendation document was read out, Eunuch Li and Mr. Xie exchanged a few polite words.

Mr. Xie quickly presented the gift he had prepared early in the morning and ordered it to be delivered to Eunuch Li's car.

Eunuch Li accepted the gift of thanks and his smile became more genuine: "The Queen Mother also gave something to the White House as a reward. Our family has official business, so we will go ahead."

Mr. Xie said quickly: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."

Then, he called Xie Xun's name and asked Xie Xun to accompany Eunuch Li on a trip.

Eunuch Li smiled deeply and agreed happily.

The Bai Mansion is also a businessman, but the family does not have a princess to follow the etiquette. He is afraid that if the etiquette is violated, Eunuch Li will not look good on himself.

Mr. Xie ordered and Xie Xun followed him over to Zhouquan. It couldn't be better.

The errand was done beautifully, and Eunuch Li was proud of himself, so he was naturally happy to see success.

A group of people went to Bai Mansion in a mighty manner.

At this moment, the White House had received the news. The family was surprised and happy, and they hurriedly worked around it. However, they became more and more anxious, like ants on a hot pot, spinning around anxiously.

Either I am worried that the etiquette will go wrong and a great good thing will turn into a bad thing, or I am worried that the clothes are inappropriate and offend the nobles.

Xie Xun first came over to Eunuch Li and helped the Bai family to be polite. It was because they were dozing off that they encountered pillows, which made Mr. and Mrs. Bai extremely grateful, as if they had received a reassurance.

The Queen Mother only rewarded Bai Mansion with some things, which were mostly less than those from Xie Mansion. After reading out the rewards, Eunuch Li conveyed a few more words, and the Queen Mother expressed some words of encouragement for Bai Mansion's praise.

But even so, this is a great honor for the White House.

Compared with such a great honor, the losses suffered by the White House are nothing.
