Marry the Regent [Time Travel]

Xue Yunzhou went to visit Kang when he woke up early in the morning, because he remembered Xue Chong's matter in his heart, so he didn't gossip too much, and chatted with her a few words: "Mother, I have something..."

Mrs. Kang was doing needlework. Seeing his serious expression, she hurriedly put down the things in her hands and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Tell me."

When Xue Yunzhou first crossed over, he didn't dare to ask anything, for fear of revealing his identity and causing trouble, but now that he is with his second brother and is far away from the capital, he doesn't have so many scruples, not to mention Xue Chong is always a hidden danger in his heart , he had to bite the bullet and consult the Kang Corporation.

After a little deliberation, he asked: "Mother, do you know if there is an imperial decree in grandfather's hand?"

Kang looked at him in surprise: "You actually know? There is indeed an imperial decree."

Xue Yunzhou was immediately refreshed, and asked eagerly, "What did the edict say? Is it important?"

"This...mother doesn't know either." Kang shook his head, "Mother only knows that this edict is the edict of Emperor Taizu, which has been handed down from generation to generation by the Kang family for more than 600 years. What is written in it can only be determined by the head of the family." Only the head of the family can see it. So cautious, presumably... it is really important."

Xue Yunzhou was dumbfounded when he heard this. Considering that the emperor sitting on the dragon chair is still young and his grandfather is already old, he always thought that the imperial decree was left by the previous emperor, but he didn't expect there to be such an unexpected inside story.

"Emperor Taizu's edict... more than 600 years..." Xue Yunzhou found it unbelievable.

Mrs. Kang nodded slightly: "Mother is a woman, so she shouldn't have known about it, but back then your grandfather loved her very much and asked her to study with your uncle, so mother often went to and from the study room outside, and then she ran into your grandfather by accident. Talking with my uncle inside, only then did I know that there is this Taizu's edict at home."

Xue Yunzhou opened his mouth, and hesitated after a long while, "Mother, since my grandfather loves you so much, why don't you go back to the Kang family? During the years before I was kicked out of the Marquis Mansion, you lived alone outside, and life was too difficult."

Kang's expression became gloomy, he sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Your grandfather regained his name, how much he loved Mother before, and how disappointed he was with Mother later. Mother was divorced, and Xue Chong forced her to marry him. You have been charged with an unwarranted crime, and you can't argue with it, your grandfather was very angry when he heard about it, mother...has no face to go back to see him."

Xue Yunzhou was so annoyed when he heard this: "This matter is not mother's fault. My grandfather didn't check it out, but it made Xue Chong cheaper! What about uncle? They have never contacted mother for so many years?"

"That's not true." After finishing speaking, Kang was taken aback, and looked at Xue Yunzhou strangely, "You don't remember?"

Xue Yunzhou was taken aback, and immediately had a headache. This was the situation he was always worried about. He almost exposed himself to Xue Yunqing yesterday, and today he will reveal his secret to Kang.

He could say that he didn't remember Xue Yunqing's incident at such a young age. Here in the Kang Corporation, after all, he was kicked out by the Hou Mansion five years ago, so he is not young...

"I..." Xue Yunzhou grinned and said bravely, "Since I was hit on the back of the head last time, my memory doesn't seem to be very good..."

This excuse is really... so lame!

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Kang actually believed it. She immediately stood up with a worried expression on her face, pulled him over and patted the back of his head carefully, and said nervously: "How did this happen? How much do you not remember? Why didn't you mention such a big thing earlier? "

Xue Yunzhou quickly smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, it doesn't have much influence, otherwise I would have said it a long time ago."

Kang was worried and insisted on asking Xue Yunqing to show him.

Xue Yunzhou was startled, and quickly pressed her to sit down, his eyes fell on his stomach inadvertently, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly said: "Mother, I won't lie to you, it's really fine, Yun Qing is busy right now. Besides, if he really has a way, I'm afraid he will still have to prescribe medicine, I have a baby in my belly, so I can't take medicine indiscriminately."

"But..." Kang seemed to be moved by his words, but still hesitated.

Xue Yunzhou reassured: "It's okay, you see, I eat and drink well every day, what do I need such a good memory for? If my mother is really worried, I'll ask Yun Qing to take a look after the child gets up and down."

After hearing what he said, Kang gradually felt relieved.

Xue Yunzhou coaxed her back, and returned to the topic again, this time simply breaking the jar: "I don't remember where my grandfather lives..."

Kang looked at him worriedly: "Jiangnan." After thinking for a while, he said, "This memory won't affect the child, right?"

"No, no, it's not natural." Xue Yunzhou laughed dryly and said, "Since my grandfather has contacted mother, he must not be angry with mother. Mother left the capital and moved to Qingzhou. Do you want to write a letter?" go back?"

"Mother has such a plan."

"Then... if you ask about the content of the will, will your grandfather be angry?"

"Nonsense, this is against the family rules." Kang shook his head quickly, and then gave him a suspicious look, "You keep asking about this will, why?"

Xue Yunzhou was silent for a moment. In fact, he didn't want the Kang family to be bothered by Xue Chong anymore, but right now the matter has nothing to do with Kang's natal family, so he had to tell the truth: "I received the news yesterday that Xue Chong is still...alive. .”

Kang's face changed slightly.

"Mother, don't worry, the prince has already ordered an investigation, and he will definitely be found."

Kang sighed and nodded: "Does the edict have anything to do with Xue Chong?"

"Yes. Xue Chong has always wanted this edict. I'm afraid the purpose is not simple. I want to understand the content of this edict before I can further judge his true intentions. Dealing with him like that may be more effective."

Kang pondered for a moment, and seemed to have made up his mind: "Mother, write a letter and ask."

Xue Yunzhou was slightly surprised, knowing that what she did was for her own sake, she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart: "I'm embarrassing my mother."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Xue Chong is coveting the imperial edict of the Taizu. This matter must be of great importance. Even if your grandfather refuses to say it, mother will still tell him."

Xue Yunzhou thought of Xue Chong's viciousness, and felt a little uneasy in his heart: "Xue Chong wants this edict, and he will do it sooner or later. He has always used vicious methods, and he will never give up until he achieves his goal. I am really worried about the safety of my grandfather and the others. Mother can just tell the matter. Clearly, I will ask the prince to write another letter, asking my grandfather to move to Qingzhou, and if the grandfather agrees, the palace will send someone to pick it up."

Kang was stunned for a while. On the one hand, he was frightened by his words, and on the other hand, he didn't expect him to use such a solemn way, so he couldn't help asking: "Will the prince agree?"

"You don't have to worry about this mother." Xue Yunzhou was afraid that she would feel depressed after hearing these things, so he joked again, "Now I have the final say on the affairs of the palace, and the prince listens to me in everything."

Kang couldn't help laughing, raised his hand to touch his head: "Really?"

Xue Yunzhou has already adapted to the new identity, and along the way, he has many close relatives with the Kang family, so he doesn't feel too awkward about her behavior, so he accepts it with peace of mind: "Of course it is true."

Kang sighed with relief on his face: "Mother just hopes that you live well, the prince treats you with heart, mother can see that."

Xue Yunzhou had breakfast with Kang before going back to find He Yuan.

He Yuan heard that what Xue Chong wanted all the time turned out to be Taizu's edict, and his expression suddenly became solemn: "I never thought that the Kang family has such a long history, the content of this edict must be very important."

Xue Yunzhou nodded, and then talked about writing a letter, and He Yuan naturally agreed.

He Yuan has this level of identity, he can find out a lot of information, and he quickly understands the situation of the Kang family.

Xue Yunzhou's grandfather was named Kang Xingwei. He was a clear and bright official who valued his reputation. Perhaps because he was too disappointed with the imperial court, he resigned early and returned to the field, and became a teacher in Jiangnan.Kang Xingwei has another son, that is, Kang's elder brother and Xue Yunzhou's uncle, who opened a martial arts gym in the south of the Yangtze River. The father and son are devoted to teaching and educating people, and they are quite famous in the local area.The Kang family also has a few side branches, who can do everything, and they must be able to gain a firm foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, which has a lot to do with the family origin.

Such a family would definitely not move their nest easily, plus the reputation of He Yuan's predecessor was really bad, presumably my grandfather would not want to come to Qingzhou to be with such a notorious person.

Xue Yunzhou felt a little headache, and pillowed his face on the table: "My mother and I almost slapped our chests to make sure, what if grandpa doesn't come by then?"

He Yuan said: "Your mother may not take your promise to heart. Whether she comes or not is a matter for the future. This letter still needs to be written, but the words need to be carefully considered."

Xue Yunzhou nodded. After listening to Kang's words, coupled with He Yuan's investigation, he guessed that Kang Xingwei's temper was very stubborn, but he thought that Kang Xing was a student everywhere, and the Kang family would even give face to the local government. The one who opened the martial arts gym felt a little relieved.

That's right, if the Kang family didn't have any power at all, it would have been impossible for them to marry the Hou family at the beginning, and if Xue Chong wanted to provoke such a family, he would have to weigh it carefully, otherwise he would have done it directly if he wanted to.

Not long after, Kang's family letter and the letter written by He Yuan in the name of Prince Yan's Mansion were handed over to his trustworthy subordinates, and they were sent to the south of the Yangtze River by hand.

During the period of waiting for the news, there were two more snowfalls in Pingcheng, the weather was getting colder and the New Year's Eve was getting closer.

When Xue Yunzhou and He Yuan were discussing whether to give the road builders a day off, Song Quan brought news from the prefect of Pingcheng, saying that there was movement in Tao Xinzhi's private granary.

It was already midnight at this time, He Yuan hurriedly put on his clothes and got up.

Song Quandao: "Prefect Tao's food is all for sale. The buyer he originally agreed on was the bandit den at the top of Qiaolin Mountain. After the top of Qiaolin Mountain was occupied by Yan Guanyu, Prefect Tao found another buyer. It was another group of bandits. It’s a little far away from Pingcheng, and I’m afraid the carts transporting grain are on the way right now.”

He Yuan's eyebrows moved slightly: "Bandits..."

"Yes. My subordinates also found out that this kind of thing is not uncommon among the people. Many government governments specially hoard grain to sell it for their own personal gain. Although the price is low, they can still make a lot of money because of the huge quantity. "

The corners of He Yuan's eyes tightened slightly, and he held back his anger and said: "Send more people to watch, be sure to watch closely, and even the stolen goods will be caught by then."

"Yes!"

This was the first time Xue Yunzhou saw He Yuan really angry for this society, not to mention He Yuan, he was so angry that he wanted to kill those people.

The imperial court requires one load of grain, and the government will increase it step by step. At the bottom, it may become two loads, three loads or even more. In the end, the people have no rice to cook, and the officials force the people to rebel. Those with conscience, such as Yan Guanyu, would rather go hungry Robbery on the stomach, and use the money from the robbery to buy from the grain merchants. Although the essence is not much better, but after all, there is no chance to enrich the government's private pockets. Buying in hand will fill the purses of those corrupt officials to the brim.

In such a vicious cycle, the common people fell grass, some starved to death, and the officials cheated, crying poor and having fun at the same time.

Such a court, such a society, can only be hell if there is no chaos.

Not long after, Tao Xinzhi finally opened his granary quietly in the middle of the night. He thought that no one would notice, but when he was moving the granary vigorously, a group of men in black rushed out of the darkness and beat them up. Caught off guard, the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Because He Yuan had already made preparations, he managed to control everyone with almost no effort, and seized a large amount of food at the same time.

When Tao Xinzhi got the news, he was frightened and stupid. He was caught before he could run away, and his legs became weak in fright.

He Yuan didn't see him, but ordered him to be locked up. Afterwards, with a sullen face, he issued orders one after another: all the food was confiscated and used as rations for the exiles who had been recruited; There was a vacancy in the magistrate, and before the capital gave an order, he picked someone from his side to take office hastily.

On the surface, he has already returned to power, but no matter whether it is the capital or the local area, there are still his troops everywhere. The emperor seems to have controlled the capital now, and he has successfully started discussing politics, but it will take several years to really grasp the real power A big change of blood is impossible, otherwise, as long as he is not a particularly high-ranking official, He Yuan still has the ability to settle the matter, but it is not as straightforward as before, and it needs to be detoured.

Xue Yunzhou was startled by He Yuan's series of actions, and when he came back to his senses, he was so happy that he couldn't find him in the south, east, west, and north. He threw himself on He Yuan and said excitedly, "Second brother, you are amazing!"

He Yuan quickly saw him supporting him: "Be careful with your stomach."

Xue Yunzhou sat on his lap without paying much attention, hugged his head and kissed him hard on the lips: "Great! This is simply the biggest happy event at the end of the year! Holiday! It must be a holiday!"

He Yuan looked at him, the corners of his mouth slightly curved: "Okay."

Xue Yunzhou took a deep breath, lowered his head and touched his stomach: "It will be almost three months after the new year, and I can leave for Qingzhou immediately."

"Yeah." He Yuan also put his hand on his stomach, with tenderness and anticipation in his eyes.

Xue Yunzhou grabbed his hand and patted his stomach lightly, and said with a smile, "Second brother, we will be lively during the Chinese New Year..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Qing's eager voice came from outside: "Mr. Yan... Yan..."

Before Yu Qing had time to report, Yan Guanyu swept in like the wind, took a closer look, and said "Yo", "So loving!"

He Yuan's face darkened: "What do you think of this place? Come in as soon as you say it?"

"This is my mountain top, of course I can go wherever I want." Yan Guanyu looked at Xue Yunzhou without changing his face, and asked in doubt, "What did you ask his second brother to do?"

Xue Yunzhou also did not change his face: "I am willing."

Yan Guanyu seemed a little curious: "There must be a reason? Why?"

Xue Yunzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "What why? The prince was my second brother in his previous life, can't he? What's the matter with you here?"

Yan Guanyu "cut" and said: "There is no game to eat in the cold weather. It's hard to survive these days. Didn't you make a fortune recently? Don't you buy some delicious food for the New Year? Let me get rich too."

Xue Yunzhou stood up from He Yuan's lap, took out a booklet from the shelf next to him and threw it to him: "I leave the purchase to you, this is what you must buy, what else is missing, you can figure it out, don't just buy it. Buy food and ask other people what they want."

Yan Guanyu took the booklet and opened it, his eyes lit up, he immediately put it away as a treasure, said "I'll arrange it", turned around and swept it out like the wind.

He Yuan looked at his back, frowned and said, "You have to take care of the accounts."

Xue Yunzhou laughed: "Got it, let's try it out first to see his character and carefulness. I don't think he is as rough as the surface."

He Yuan's face was not very good-looking: "There is still a lack of rules, we must pay attention to what we say in the future."

Xue Yunzhou "tsk": "Look, no one will believe you when you tell the truth."
