The emperor is embarrassed

Zhao House.

Zhao Qingyi handed over the clan accounts and the patriarch's authority over the years to Zhao Rubai under the witness of the clan elders, and also released the clan's granary.Zhao Rubai took the key and opened the gate, and inspected the grain and rice warehouses and the sacrificial silver of the clan together with all the respected clan elders.

It is officially handed over.

Zhao Qingyi was so peaceful and obedient, which saved the elders of the clan a lot of thought.At the very least, everyone can greet each other with a smile and maintain a superficial kindness.

Even if you lose, you must maintain your demeanor.This is also in line with the traditional virtue of good face for aristocratic families.

Anyway, no matter what Zhao Qingyi thought, after handing over the position of patriarch, he could still keep a calm face, joking and saying hello to the clansmen.This kind of demeanor made many clan elders feel that although Zhao Rusong and Zhao Qingyi's father and son really caused a lot of embarrassing things, Zhao Qingyi is not without merit.

It's just a pity...

After handing over the affairs of the family, Zhao Qingyi began to reduce the population of the family.

After all, today is not the same as in the past, there is not so much power and financial resources, and there is no need to show ostentation.Even the gates of the houses had to be changed. In this era, the specifications of the lintel houses used by the official houses and the common people were completely different.

At this moment, Zhao Qingyi understood that she was only a little stronger than a lost dog.He has a deep hatred with Shen Zhuoyan and Lin Yongshang. Since he failed to bring Lin Yongshang down, Lin Yongshang will definitely find a chance to take revenge in the future.If it wasn't for this war, Zhao Qingyi might not be able to sleep peacefully now.

One of the reasons why Zhao Qingyi didn't dare to break skin with her clansmen was because Zhao Rubai was backed by Shao Chunxiao, Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and he couldn't afford to offend him.The second is for the lawsuit between his family and the Fan family. At this time, his younger siblings are still young and his mother is sick, so he needs the protection of the clan.

However, Zhao Qingyi never imagined that at such a juncture, Zhao Rubai would make trouble so far.

Zhao Rubai had just taken over the position of patriarch, and the chairs were not even warmed up, so he began to talk to Zhao Qingyi about the lawsuit between the Zhao family and the Fan family, and sighed repeatedly, "Your father is a student, and he is too lazy to be an official. I don't know common affairs. I was lucky enough to meet Mrs. Fan back then, Qingyi, this matter is your mother's fault."

Zhao Qingyi couldn't admit it, so she said calmly, "Uncle, Fan's voluntary entry into the mansion as a child is all there. Even the government and the court can't just listen to the words of Shen Zhuoyan's family. It is said that the mother murdered the Fan family. Where's the evidence?"

"Without evidence, it is a false accusation!"

Zhao Rubai sighed, "Qingyi, you were also an official in the imperial capital. When you sued Governor Lin, how did you get the evidence? Don't you understand the tricks in it?"

"It's just that you didn't sue Governor Lin. Alas, I see, when this war is over, Governor Lin will definitely blame you." Zhao Rubai looked worried.

"Uncle, don't worry, a man is a man. One person does one thing and one person does it. Since I dare to do it, I will naturally take care of it. I will never hurt others." Zhao Qingyi said seriously.

"You're okay, I'm just worried about your mother." Zhao Rubai put aside the grievances between Zhao Qingyi and Lin Yongshang, and said instead, "Your fault has been paid for by fame. It's your mother, what happened to the Fan family back then, no matter what It's not on your head either. Think about it, at your mother's age, is she going to stand trial?"

Zhao Qingyi was startled, as if she didn't understand what Zhao Rubai meant.Unexpectedly, Zhao Rubai said, "Qingyi, our Zhao family has never had a daughter-in-law to stand trial."

Hearing this, Zhao Qingyi's face instantly turned cold, and she asked, "Uncle, what do you mean?"

"It's not interesting." Zhao Rubai said with a flat face, "The Ji family entered the door, why was it dismissed, and why did they bump their heads to death in front of the door? There was also the matter of the Fan family in the past, and now his mother's family is pursuing it. I don't know what to do?" Seeing Zhao Qingyi's cold face, Zhao Rubai felt displeased from the bottom of his heart, what status he has now depends on this kid's face?Turning his face away, he said in a deep voice, "Yesterday, some clan elders came to me with clan rules."

A flash of deep hatred flashed in Zhao Qingyi's eyes, she held back her breath, lowered her eyes and said softly, "The court hasn't convicted my mother yet, so why don't the elders want to punish her?"

"Whether you want to commit a crime, you know it in your heart, and your mother knows it too." Zhao Rubai took a long breath, as if he was extremely embarrassed, and he didn't know whether to be sarcastic or sighed, "I just became the patriarch, even if I want to protect Ichigo You mother and son don't have the same prestige as your father said in those days."

Zhao Qingyi hated so much that she was speechless for a while.

In the past, he guarded against people outside.Now we know that the most dangerous crisis does not come from outside, but from within.Looking at Zhao Rubai's almost rascal face, Zhao Qingyi calmed down the anger in her heart, and said in a low voice, "There are no outsiders here, uncle may as well speak up if he has something to say. Now that uncle is the head of the clan, there is really no need to go round and round."

A strange look flashed across Zhao Rubai's face, and he said indifferently, "Is there any detour to go around? With your intelligence, you should know how to take the next road."

"Uncle is not willing to allow our mother, son and brother?" Zhao Qingyi asked bluntly.

Zhao Rubai didn't answer directly, but said, "I remember when my mother and I lived outside, and we moved six times in a year, and every time I heard the news that the Shan family was going to call, my mother would tremble with fright and burst into tears. At that time, I thought, I don’t know when such days will end. Later, my mother and I were finally able to move into this house. As my mother grew older, the Shan family sent beautiful maids and concubines, and I had you again. Third Uncle. In this life, I have never heard your father call me big brother."

Zhao Qingyi knew a little about these things. Hearing Zhao Rubai's emotion, Zhao Qingyi smiled wryly, "Uncle, what would happen if your mother took the place of grandmother?" ?It seemed that Zhao Rubai wanted to turn the tables, but unfortunately, Zhao Qingyi had nowhere to fight back.

Zhao Rubai smiled lightly, as if he didn't care, and actually agreed with Zhao Qingyi's words, "Yeah, so I looked away. I can't say that my mother is wrong, and your grandmother is naturally right. My father has always loved me. Plus, the father is the guide for the son, and the father is naturally right. Is it wrong for your father to hate me as a big brother? If I were replaced by your father, I am afraid that I will not be much better than your father. "

"After all, everyone is right." Zhao Rubai said coldly, "Or, the winner is king, and the loser is a thief, that's all."

Zhao Qingyi's heart sank suddenly.

Zhao Rubai quickly accused Zhao Qingyi's mother, Mrs. Zhao, of being unvirtuous, and planned to order the patriarch to marry the wicked woman on behalf of the Zhao family.

How could Zhao Qingyi see her mother suffer such a great humiliation, and in a rage, she took her younger siblings and mother out of the Zhao family and set up a separate genealogy, completely turning against the Zhao family.

This kind of commotion started, Mrs. Zhao's original minor illness was frightened and she felt wronged and regretted it, but it turned into a serious illness, but within three to five days, she let go.

Zhao Qingyi lost her father and mother in a few months, and her family business plummeted. The blow can be imagined.

It turned out that the city of Fuzhou was already in danger.Zhao Qingyi also didn't want to bother Shan Bing with family affairs, but Shan Bing got wind of this big incident in the Zhao family, so he took time to take a look at it at night.

Zhao Qingyi became more and more haggard, and her thin body was a bit weak.Not only did his branch lose the position of patriarch, but the hearts of the people were treacherous one after another, and even reached the state of leaving the clan.Therefore, even for the Zhao family's funeral, there are only a handful of people who come to express their condolences.

Shan Bing came striding forward without changing his military uniform. Zhao Qingfeng, Zhao Qingyi's younger brother, burst into tears when he saw Shan Bing. Shan Bing asked, "Where's your brother?"

Zhao Qingyi is burning paper money and burning incense and candles for Mrs. Zhao in the mourning hall. On such a heartbroken day, Zhao Qingyi feels that her eyes are dry and dry, as if she has no tears to shed.

Shan Bing received the incense first, and offered a stick of fresh incense to Mrs. Zhao, and Zhao Qingyi and her younger brother knelt down to return the gift.Shan Bing helped Zhao Qingyi, frowned and asked, "Why didn't someone tell me about such a big event at home?"

Zhao Qingyi said in a low voice, "At that time in the ancestral hall, it was too late. Don't blame Seventh Uncle."

Shan Bing said coldly, "Zhao Rubai is really deceiving people too much."

"Uncle Qi, I heard that the magistrate is collecting food again outside, is it because the war is tight?" Anyway, no one came, so Zhao Qingyi simply asked the individual soldiers to sit down and talk.

An old servant served tea.

Shan Bing took it and took a sip, "Don't mention it, it will be a month. Apart from the army and the people in the city, how can there be enough grain to eat? The magistrate and the big households in the city are all talking dry, but Borrowing three liters and five buckets is not enough. Alas, besides food, medicinal materials have long been insufficient."

Zhao Qingyi sighed softly, "I don't know when the reinforcements will come?"

When it comes to reinforcements, Shan Bing has no idea, "If the crisis in the imperial capital remains unresolved, who cares about Fuzhou City?"

Zhao Qingyi didn't expect Shan Bing to come up with a unique trick, and he fell ten times with one force.

There was no food in Fuzhou city, and the big households in the city refused to donate food.The single soldier immediately dropped the porridge that could see the figure in the bowl, and directly led a group of soldiers, surrounded several big households in Fuzhou, directly used the looted food, found 10,000+ stones of grain, left it for military use, and even the people in the city They also divided the rations for a few days.

The Zhao family was the worst. It is said that the food in the grain depot was robbed so badly that Zhao Rubai threatened the soldiers with Shao Chunxiao, governor of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces. He was kicked three meters away by the soldiers, wounded and spit out two mouthfuls of blood , almost killed me.

Lord Zhizhou was about to cry, seeing Shan Bing sighing and sighing, Shan Bing said, "Don't worry, Lord Yang, all the blame will be borne by the general!"

Yang Shanru sighed, "General Shan, don't say that, it's because the government is incompetent. You can't just watch the soldiers have a bad stomach, how can they defend the city if they can't fill their stomachs."

Shan Bing persuaded Yang Shanru a few words, and then went to the city wall to arrange the battle.

In the past, when Zhao Qingyi took the initiative to invite Ying, even the individual soldiers could not agree, but unexpectedly, in the end, Zhao Qingyi really helped the individual soldiers a lot.

The Zhao family has been a family for hundreds of years, so there are naturally some secrets that are not known to the public.

Zhao Rubai was in a hurry to seize Zhao Qingyi's position as patriarch, and he would not stop doing so, taking this opportunity to drive Zhao Qingyi and his family out of the Zhao clan.However, Zhao Rubai is not a direct descendant, even if Zhao Qingyi handed over the power of the patriarch, but Zhao Rubai does not know about some secrets passed down from generation to generation by the patriarchs.

In such a situation where pirates were besieging the city, Zhao Qing secretly left Fuzhou City with an urgent letter requesting support from individual soldiers.

Zhao Qingyi is a delicate person, he thought that the individual soldiers had already asked Shao Chunxiao for help, but Shao Chunxiao refused to send troops for a long time, so Zhao Qingyi simply went straight to Jiangxi.For nothing else, Jiangxi General Shan Zhuo, Shan Bing's cousin, is also Zhao Qingyi's cousin.

Jiangxi General Shan Zhuo, since he received the imperial edict ordering Jiangxi to rush to aid Zhejiang and Fujian.After discussing with the governor of Jiangxi, the city guards were left behind, and they were about to rush straight to Zhejiang and Fujian.

For nothing else, his brother is guarding Fuzhou City.

But now Fuzhou City is good or bad, Shan Zhuo is really worried.

Shan Zhuo is also aware of the filth of the Shao family and the Shan family.Now that Shao Chunxiao is the governor of Fumin, will he miss the opportunity to wear small shoes for his brother?

Shan Zhuo galloped all the way, and met Zhao Qingyi on the way.

When Shan Zhuo heard what Zhao Qingyi said, he immediately scolded Shao Chunxiao for revenge.Now I don't care about finding Shao Chunxiao's theory, so I have to hurry to Fuzhou City.Zhao Qingyi, a scholar, has such courage and ability, which is also impressive.

Now Shen Dongshu, the governor of Huguang who received the imperial edict, hastily dispatched troops to relieve the danger in Yangzhou.

No matter how tough the Tatars and pirates are, tigers can't stand up to wolves.

Lin Yongshang considers himself a man of tenacity, but after more than a month of arduous and arduous battle to defend the city, when he saw the arrival of reinforcements from afar, he couldn't help but feel ecstasy in his heart and his legs were weak. In a flash, Governor Lin almost sat down on the ground without looking good.

Yongding Hou said anxiously, "I will leave the matter in the city to Mr. Lin. I will take people out of the city to kill the thieves with the Huguang soldiers."

Lin Yongshang said seriously, "Master Hou, go, I am in the city."

Immediately, the Marquis of Yongding gathered his soldiers, issued orders, mounted his horses with whips, and went out of the city to fight.In an instant, the situation of the battle was reversed dramatically.

Lin Yongshang still stood on the city wall, looking at the battle of soldiers and horses below the city, blood flowing like rivers.From time to time, a cold wind hits the air, gradually blowing away the bloody smell.

Finally... the city of Yangzhou was saved.

Fan Wei and Feng Zhi obviously also got the news of the victory, and rushed to congratulate each other.

After several days of gloom cleared away, Lin Yongshang laughed heartily, with a haggard but energetic face and asked Fan Wei, "Did you see Mr. Xu?"

It's really hard to take Governor Lin's question for granted, Fan Wei smiled slightly, "Master Xu has been helping out in the wounded barracks these days, so he should still be there now?" Who doesn't know Governor Lin's selfishness, and why did he play tricks like this knowingly? ?

Lin Yongshang stretched out his hand to grab Fan Wei's shoulder, and whispered with a smile, "You should watch for Ben Du first, you know?"

Fan Wei laughed in a low voice, "Then I wish the Governor-General great success." Governor Lin's head has grown for some reason, but he has slaughtered his family, and now he wants to pursue his little girl like an old cow!Thanks to him for doing it!

"Stinky boy, you dare to make fun of Ben Du." At the time of the big victory, Lin Yongshang was refreshed, slapped Fan Wei on the head, turned around and left with the guards, all the way, five people and six people He sighed, "How many soldiers were injured and sacrificed for Huaiyang, the governor has to tell them the good news in person."

There is quite a bit of youthful excitement during the walk.

Of course, Governor Lin himself is not old.

In fact, it is impossible for the wounded barracks not to hear such a big commotion outside.While whispering, Lin Yongshang came laughing, "The reinforcements have arrived, and the Tatars have already retreated. Brothers can rest and recuperate. Don't worry any more. Your meritorious deeds will be remembered by the Governor!"

The camp is full of joy!

Even Doctor Zhang and others also temporarily stopped their work, showing tired and gratified smiles.

Xu Yingyu and Duan Wenqian also looked at each other and smiled, but Mrs. Xiao asked, "Governor Lin, where is my Marquis?"

"Master Hou led the troops out of the city."

As expected, Mrs. Xiao nodded and said nothing more.

Lin Yongshang glanced at Xu Yingyu, greeted the person to the front, and said with a serious face, "Master Xu, although our Huaiyang has won. However, the injured soldiers can return to the camp to recuperate. If it's serious, I'll have to trouble you, Shan Ren Tang, for a while."

Xu Yingyu thought about it, "Now that Huaiyang has won, these temporary camps will naturally have to be dismantled. Where can the seriously injured soldiers be placed? It would be too inconvenient for the doctors to go to the military camp for consultation every day. .”

"I've thought about it, near the Shanren Hall, I will move out a few more houses for you, renovate them, and build a few beds. The seriously injured brothers will live there temporarily, and it will be convenient for the doctor to diagnose and treat the injuries. What does Master Xu think? What?" Governor Lin asked.

"Just listen to the governor." The solution is good and convenient, and Xu Yingyu has no reason to refuse.

Governor Lin said again, "This time, Mr. Xu just keeps an account of the medicinal materials and money used by the soldiers to heal their wounds, and he will come to the Governor's Mansion to collect them when he arrives."

"The lower officials know." Xu Yingyu replied hastily, the medicinal materials themselves are used by the governor's yamen, and Shanrentang is just a medical doctor.However, Lin Yongshang's willingness to say this is naturally good for the reputation of Shanrentang, and Xu Yingyu will naturally not say it.

Xu Yingyu took advantage of this little advantage, and Governor Lin saw that his complexion improved a little, so he couldn't help but say, "My lord, don't take it easy just because the governor's mansion pays you. Although the yamen is not rich, you can't let Shanrentang What a loss."

"Your official understands." Lin Yongshang babbled on and on, Xu Yingyu was a little impatient.

Lin Yongshang said again and again, "For the matter of Huaiyang, Mr. Xu is exhausted and haggard. I really can't bear it, so I have to say hard work to Mr. Xu."

Xu Yingyu knew that Lin Yongshang did it on purpose even if she was a piece of wood. She suppressed her anger and gritted her teeth and said, "It's just a matter of my duty. If it's hard work, who in Huaiyang is not hardworking? Especially Master Lin, since the war is over. , Mr. Lin, please be busy, I will not bother you." Damn, what Confucius said, only women and villains are difficult to raise!Hmph, I'm afraid Confucius didn't see a bitch like Lin Yongshang when he said this, so he said this!Otherwise, it will definitely be changed, only sluts and villains are hard to raise!

Lin Yongshang accepted it as soon as he saw it, and was afraid of annoying Xu Yingyu, so he went to visit Doctor Zhang and others instead.

Xu Yingyu went back to the General's Mansion with Mrs. Xiao angrily, so angry that she ate an extra bowl of rice in the evening!

Mrs. Xiao really wanted to laugh, "Master Lin usually looks steady, but after all he is young, he seems to be a little bit out of the way."

"Young what?" Xu Yingyu said softly, "I heard that Mr. Lin is already 35, so old. Some of them are grandfathers at this age."

"Hahaha." Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but chuckled, "Master Lin has never been married, and he is so capable. I don't know how many people will rob him."

It's because they don't know the nature of this bitch!Xu Yingyu groaned, and pierced the head of a roast chicken with a chopstick.
