All Hail Cousin Brother

Eunuch Zhu said politely, "Master Yu, get up!"

Yu Zongzheng got up quickly, and respectfully led Eunuch Zhu and his party into the gate. Eunuch Zhu held the imperial decree, brought a few guards of honor, and went directly to the front hall.

Madam Yu, who was waiting in the front hall, also got the news.

As soon as Eunuch Zhu entered the room, the whole family knelt down in the hall and waited. Yu Zongzheng and Yu Zongshen hurriedly knelt behind Mrs. Yu.

Old Madam Yu said quickly, "Courtesy wife, bring the great house of Yu Mansion to the door, and obey the sage's order."

Eunuch Zhu glanced, Madam Yu was wearing heavy makeup and kneeling respectfully at the front, followed by the two uncles of the Yu residence, and then behind the first-born son Yu Shansi, the young master Zhou Linghuai from Youzhou, and the last three sisters. Children line up.

A group of people is also the rule.

His wife, Mrs. Yang, had been ill for several years, and she didn't come over for fear of colliding with Sacred Will. There was also a son-in-law, Yu Shanming, who was one or two years old and was not easy to come out.

From this point of view, the family of Yufu's big house is also considered neat.

Eunuch Zhu nodded secretly, held up the imperial decree in his hand, and raised his voice: "Young Clan Yu, go forward and listen to the seal!"

Yu Youyao got up quickly, lowered her eyebrows, went to the front without looking sideways, and knelt on the ground: "My servant, Yu's Youyao, please follow the sage's order."

Eunuch Zhu unfolded a bright yellow imperial decree, which was more than three feet long, and read out: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says--

A family of loyalty and filial piety, accumulating goodness and virtue, how can I be stingy with praise and praise? Today the Yu family has a daughter who is young. Wonderful and elegant, graceful and graceful, with the grace of time and graceful posture. Her nature is filial piety, pure and quiet, her quality is good, virtuous and respectful, and her daughter is Fan Er. Zite donated Er as the head of Shaoyi County, known to Jiuyuan, and admired countless! "

Yu Youyao took a breath.

The county lord is a royal title, the daughter of the prince, the county lord of Enfeng, and the daughter of the county lord can only be the county lord.

How could she be so virtuous, how could she be conferred by the emperor as a royal title?

Even if Rongjun Wangfu almost ruined her reputation and made her feel wronged, the clan cannot represent the royal family, and this matter has nothing to do with the emperor.

At most, the palace can bestow something to appease one or two, and it is also considered to be the way of the ruler and the minister, and there is no need for grace.

In the past dynasties, there were also precedents of honoring the daughter of a foreign minister with the title of the clan, but it was rare. Usually, it was the father who served the court for major political achievements, or special reasons such as kinship.

Emperor Xianzong once ennobled an orphan of a loyal martyr as the head of Yuyu County.

Thinking of the fate of the royal palace of Rongjun, Yu Youyao couldn't help feeling cold all over her body. The position of the county head seemed to remind her to remember the mighty kindness of the emperor, to help the court, and to serve the dog and horse, otherwise it would be unworthy of virtue.

Yu Youyao suddenly thought that two years ago, Emperor Gou had pursued His Royal Highness King You, and he was named "King Li of Zhou" as the one-word king, and then he added his cousin, King Wu Mu Dingbei, named "King Wu Mu". How similar is this situation to the original? She, the county magistrate of Shaoyi, is an Enfeng and a warning.

After the imperial decree was read out, Eunuch Zhu carefully closed the imperial decree, looked at Yu Youyao with a smile, and said kindly: "Shaoyi county magistrate, accept the decree!"

Yu Youyao's palms are up, and both hands are raised high.

Eunuch Zhu put the imperial edict into Yu Youyao's hands.

Yu Youyao held the imperial decree in both hands, the back of his hand was on the ground, and his forehead lightly touched the imperial decree and bowed: "My servant, Yu's Youyao, thank the emperor for his mighty grace, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

As a father, Yu Zongzheng also thanked him later.

Madam Yu brought the rest of the hall and thanked them together.

Eunuch Zhu then smiled and said: "The emperor already knows what happened at the flower meeting. The emperor is grateful for the loyalty and dedication of the Yufu family, and is very angry at the behavior of the Rongjun Wangfu. Yesterday, he disposed of the Rongjun Wangfu and Shaoyi County Lord. Aggrieved."

These words also represent the meaning of the emperor.

Yu Youyao hurriedly said, "The ministers and daughters are frightened and ashamed to bear it."

It seems like an understatement, but it is said very cleverly. First of all, it expresses that the emperor's identification and maintenance of Yu Mansion means all the people in Yu Mansion who are officials in the court. It also includes her. The emperor thinks that she is "strong", and no one dares to talk about her anymore.

He also mentioned that "she was wronged", as if the emperor dealt with the royal palace of Rongjun heavily for her sake. As the daughter of a foreign minister, he had to remember the mighty kindness of the emperor more and more.

Eunuch Zhu smiled: "The materials for the county lord's official book, as well as the uniforms, etc. are all ready-made, but they all need to be made on the spot, and it will take a few days. After about five days, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send someone to your house. ."

The booklet is easier. The rare thing is the life clothes. There are two sets of formal clothes and regular clothes. The jewelry and clothes are together. The materials are ready-made, but it is a delicate work.

Yu Youyao said softly: "There is Eunuch Lao."

Eunuch Zhu changed his words and said again: "The Empress Dowager heard that the Shaoyi county lord was frightened at the flower fair, and she specially rewarded some things to suppress the shock of the Shaoyi county lord."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a little **** beside him, who bent down and stepped forward, presenting a golden book.

Eunuch Zhu stretched out his hand to take it, opened the booklet, and began to announce the reward: "To reward a pair of Yu Ruyi, the ruler of Shaoyi County, one crowned with gilt and inlaid red treasures and phoenixes, one crownless, two pieces of snowy silk silk, two pieces of Tianshui and blue gauze. Four of each of the four colors of soft smoke, and four of each of the ten colors of brocade..."

The Empress Dowager's reward is very rich, including head and face, accessories, study, jade, famous porcelain, etc., as well as silk satin, spices, fat powder and so on.

As Eunuch Zhu rolls his name, there are corresponding things, which are sent into the front hall by the maids or eunuchs. The most valuable are given up, and the maids and eunuchs hold them and arrange them in order. The lower ones are all packed in boxes. , called the eunuchs to carry it in.

After a while, Eunuch Zhu finished singing and gave the reward list to Yu Youyao: "Shaoyi County Lord, take a look!"

Yu Youyao hurriedly took over the roster, how dare you really look at it: "Chen Nv, thank the Queen Mother for her grace, and the Queen Mother Jin An."

Eunuch Zhu was satisfied and said with a smile, "Get up!"

Mrs. Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately stood up to greet Eunuch Zhu: "Eunuch Lao came to issue the decree specially. This journey from inside the palace to the outside of the palace is also hard work. Eunuch please sit down and rest for a while."

Xuanzhi's car stopped when it reached Chang'an Avenue, and it took more than half an hour to go all the way to Yu Mansion. After all, Eunuch Zhu had already set off when it was less than an hour.

Isn't it hard work? !

Eunuch Zhu was really polite to Mrs. Yu: "Hey, my ancestors hurry up and sit down, there's no need for you to greet me. Our family was ordered to come to Yufu to announce the decree.

Mrs. Yu hurriedly said yes, the servants served tea, snacks, fruits, etc. smartly, and also prepared soups and snacks, which were also very careful.

After walking all the way, Eunuch Zhu was indeed tired and hungry, and he was not polite. After using some blood swallows and snacks, he also felt that the taste was good, not worse than the imperial meal in the palace.
