At this time in Linhua County, although it is not spring and the flowers are blooming, the ice and snow have melted. Along the way, the tree branches have turned green, the wind is blowing, and it is also slightly cold and slightly warm.
This is a time to dress randomly. Some people are afraid of the cold and still wear winter clothes, while others have changed into thinner spring clothes, walking with style.
There are constant traffic of oxcarts. Although Linhua County is naturally one in the sky and one on the ground compared with the capital, it is also a county town. When some counties in Guangling Province were flooded last year, the place was peaceful and peaceful. Some people considered it livable.
It's a bit more lively than last year.
"Daddy, this is Linhua County."
Following Yu Han out of the palace and all the way to Linhua County, there were two young eunuchs who had become godfathers. The three of them walked all the way, dressed up in disguise and did not dare to say anything.
The two kings of Qi and Shu are the most powerful. Although King Lu is weak and his mother and concubine are just Zhaoyi, they should not be underestimated since they have been crowned kings. Even the underage princes and grandsons may not be truly incompetent.
It's just that according to Dazheng's rules, if you leave the palace at the age of fifteen, you will usually be given a Tibetan house and be granted the title of Duke. After you stay older, you will be granted the title of King based on your status and favor.
As the empress's confidant, Yu Han naturally did not want to cause trouble.
The Empress Xing has been guarding the palace for the past seventeen years, and has almost never had contact with outsiders except for matters where the Queen has to come forward. The Empress has long lost the support of her family. Although the concubines in the palace are dissatisfied with her occupying the second position, they have no contact with outsiders.
He has no sons and no grandchildren. He is just a puppet that the emperor may want to cover up, and he is not worthy of much attention.
Only in this way can you take people out of the palace easily.
He opened the car curtain and showed some emotion on his fair and aged face.
"This is Linhua County." Yu Han sighed: "It was not like this in the past."
"Godfather has been here before?"
The person speaking this time was not Yu Sui who was driving the cart in front, but Yu Guo who was sitting in the ox cart with Yu Han.
Yu Han smiled a little nostalgically: "It happened many years ago, and I passed by here once."
Then he refused to say anything more. He just looked at this ordinary small county town and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Although this is not a real rural place, my grandson is so noble. If it hadn't been for the disaster back then, he is now a top noble and needs to be surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs when he comes in and out. It is possible that he would never come here in his life.
But then I thought about the three-year-old grandson who died in that incident, and then I felt happy.
If this place was not far away from the capital and was a very ordinary small county, how could it have been possible to successfully hide the grandson for nearly seventeen years?
Thinking about it like this, I suddenly felt a good impression of this place.
"Dad, since it's getting dark, let's find an inn to stay in first. I'll go find out where Mr. Ye's grave is and wait until tomorrow morning to pay homage."
It would be inappropriate to go to worship in the dark.
Yu Han nodded: "That's it, go there tomorrow morning."
With these two smart godsons following him, Yu Han didn't worry about these little things.
When the ox cart arrived, it stopped for a while, and everything about checking into the Linhua County Inn was settled.
To outsiders, this was just an ordinary gentleman with a small amount of money passing through the county town with two young men. He looked ordinary and did not arouse the curiosity or attention of others.
By the time dinner was over, the two young eunuchs Yu Sui and Yu Guo had already inquired about the matter clearly.
"Godfather, I have already asked clearly. Mr. Ye is buried in a cemetery outside the city. There are hills nearby. There is a temple not far away. When we leave the city and keep walking forward, we will see the temple.
, then turn around and look for it, and you can find Mr. Ye’s grave."
Yu Han listened and nodded: "Rest first and leave the city tomorrow morning."
There was no talk that night, and early the next morning, as soon as the city gate opened, they drove the ox cart out of the city.
Sure enough, after walking not too far, we saw hills in the distance, and then we saw a Buddhist temple.
Since it was not difficult to find Ye Weihan's grave, I drove over without disturbing anyone.
When we arrived, the sun had just risen, the morning breeze was blowing, and the lush green environment made people feel good.
"It's an auspicious place." Even though he didn't know much about Feng Shui, Yu Han still had some discernment. At least this place gave people a good impression. Ordinary people would be envious of those who could be buried here a hundred years later.
The grandson, who was also the son-in-law, chose such a place for Ye Weihan. It was obvious that he had put great care into it. Not far away, he saw the tombstone.
This is a tomb made of bricks and stones. There is a stone tablet that simply says "Ye Weihan's Tomb", and below it are the names of Ye Buhui and Su Ziji.
Ye Weihan was buried here. The three of them exchanged glances and came forward, but they were all silent.
"Ye Weihan's original name is Ye Du. He comes from a family of officials. He is the second son of Ye Duncheng, the fourth-rank minister of etiquette. He joins the prince's sect. When something happens to the prince, the tree falls and the hozens scatter. Some even turn against him."
"Only Ye Du disappeared, and the court also tracked him down. They just thought he was fleeing out of fear of crime, and since there were no important people missing during the count, he let it go."
"What do you think? She changed her name and ran away with the prince in an outer room. No one knew she was pregnant."
"Now I finally have a queen for the prince."
Yu Han thought silently, filled with emotions. Now that he had the inference, he naturally found out that this woman was called Shen Yiyuan. She was originally the daughter of an official. She became a prostitute because of her father's crime. Before opening the restaurant, she was given to the prince. Due to her low status,
, did not enter the Prince's Mansion, but escaped from sight without wanting to.
With her, there was Su Ziji, and the queen finally had hope. She took a breath and said slowly: "Take it out!"
The three people came in secret. Although they did not notify the local officials, they took the Queen's decree with them.
The three of them stopped in front of the tomb. Yu Han arranged the pastries, wine, meat, and fruits that he had bought in advance. Yu Han calmed down his expression, unfolded the Queen's edict seriously, and read it softly.
It is said to be a Yizhi, but it is actually rice paper stamped with the phoenix seal, and there is a thank you written by the queen herself.
After reading, something suddenly seemed to be different. Yu Han took the wine glass again, poured wine, and poured it into the open space in front of the grave.
"Mr. Ye, you should be aware that although Taisun has kept his name anonymous to you and has been preserved, this also means that Taisun is not yet listed in the genealogy and is not yet a member of the royal family."
"Therefore, the first step for the great-grandson is to restore the surname Ji and become a spy."
"As long as the emperor admits this, he is the prince's only son and the prince's grandson, and his name is legitimate, so naturally there will be people who will seek refuge with him."
"The first step is the hardest. I hope you have a spirit in heaven. Please bless your grandson to successfully pass the Jinshi exam this time so that you can take the next step."
"This is the queen's wish, my wish, and even more so, the prince's wish."
"I can't stay here for long, so I have to offer you three glasses of wine to honor your loyalty!"
After saying that, he poured more wine, poured more wine, and drank three glasses in a row. Yu Han said to the two young eunuchs: "Let's go. We've already made up our mind. Now let's see if the grandson can live up to his expectations."
