A few days later, the emperor issued an order to revive Yu Guangzheng.
Yu Guangzheng had been idle for several years, but now he was suddenly appointed by the emperor, and he had a very high official position. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Justice of the third rank.
The original minister of the Ministry of Justice retired from office, and everyone was still trying to figure out who could fill the vacancy. No one expected that this hot official vacancy would fall on Yu Guangzheng.
After the emperor weakened the power of the Yu family, he gave the Yu family another "sap" blow.
From the surface, it seems that this is the emperor's special favor for the Yu family. Those who secretly rumored that the emperor was disobedient and unfilial to the Queen Mother Yu remained silent and did not dare to say more.
In fact, this is the fastest and most powerful way to divide the Yu family.
Generally speaking, the head of the family is held by the person with the highest seniority, the highest official position, or the strongest ability and the most powerful means. After Master Yu died, Yu Guangde was reluctant to become the head of the family, all because of the power of Queen Mother Yu.
Empress Dowager Yu lost power in the palace, and Yu Guangde, who was deprived of his official position, was already very embarrassed. Now Yu Guangzheng has been reinstated and made a third-rank Minister of Justice...
When this imperial edict arrived at the Yu family, it was like a huge boulder smashing into the ice, instantly creating spider web-like cracks on the already weak ice surface.
The peace that the Yu family has barely maintained may fall apart at any time.
Yu Guangde was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he had to pretend to be happy and excited. After receiving the imperial edict, he immediately congratulated Yu Guangzheng: "Congratulations, cousin."
Yu Guangzheng, who was already in his fifties, was surrounded by a group of clan members, his face full of high spirits, and he instantly became more than ten years younger: "I didn't expect that the emperor would issue an order to reinstate me as the minister of punishment."
After saying that, he pretended to hold up his hands and bowed respectfully in the direction of the palace: "I must do my best in the future so that I can live up to the emperor's respect and trust."
Yu Guangde was so stunned that he almost vomited blood.
Pooh!
He obviously betrayed his family and took refuge with the new emperor! He was willing to be the new emperor's minion. Fortunately, he had the nerve to show such a loyal and patriotic face!
Yu Guangzheng also sneered in his heart.
His biological sister had been in the palace for decades, but she was tricked and died when she was closest to success. His nephew, Emperor Jian'an, was also dead. He would definitely avenge this blood feud with his own money and profit.
return.
Yu Guangde was a fool, unable to see clearly the situation at hand, and followed Queen Mother Yu's sinking ship with all his heart. Sooner or later, the Yu family would be dragged into the water.
And he led the Yu family, who were good at judging the situation, to the side of the emperor and empress. Only they could make the Yu family continue.
Eunuch Wei, who came to make rice paper, smiled and asked the chamberlain on the side to come forward with official uniforms: "Please wait, Mr. Yu, to change into official uniforms immediately and come with our family to the palace to express our gratitude!"
Yu Guang was busy responding with a smile, when someone beside him stepped forward to greet Eunuch Wei warmly. A small purse stuffed with a thousand taels of silver notes had already been put into Eunuch Wei's hand.
Eunuch Wei accepted it unceremoniously.
The emperor has already given instructions that he can accept any gift from the Yu family and treat it as a reward from the emperor. After returning to the palace, he will make a private house for Xianghui.
…
Yu Guangzheng changed into his official uniform and followed Eunuch Wei into the palace to express his gratitude.
Everyone in the Yu family watched Yu Guangzheng go away with envious and respectful eyes.
Nowadays, the Yu family has been suppressed in every possible way in the court, and their official positions have been demoted or taken away. Yu Guangzheng has jumped to the third rank, and is already the highest official among the Yu family. He is also favored by the Holy Heart.
Yu Guangde, who was fighting against the emperor, was much stronger.
Several tribesmen who thought they were older or had higher status criticized Yu Guangde.
The implication is that the position of head of the family can only be occupied by those who are capable. The Queen Mother has already set the sun, and the Emperor is young and powerful, so it is more important to hug the big tree of the Emperor. If you can't do it, you might as well give up the position as soon as possible. We all think that Yu Shilang is very good.
good……
Yu Guangde was so disturbed by everyone's words and tone that he ordered the people to disperse with a sullen face. He sat alone in the study, lamenting silently.
You can control people, but you can't control the hearts of the Yu family that have been scattered.
Yu Guangde knew that his people had been separated from his family, but he could do nothing. He could only comfort himself. Being suppressed was only temporary. When the Queen Mother Yu recovers and makes a comeback, the Yu family will regain its glory...
"master!"
Mrs. Zhou came with a panicked expression, lowered her voice and said: "A letter has been sent from Yangzhou, and several stewards have been assassinated."
What?
Yu Guangde's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up suddenly. Because he stood up too quickly, he hit the hard corner of the table and suffered a sharp pain in his right leg.
Yu Guangde grimaced in pain and gasped: "Who did it? What happened?"
Zhou's expression was grim: "I, I don't know what happened. Several stewards who went to Yangzhou were assassinated on the same day. And..."
"And what?" Yu Guangde had a strong foreboding in his heart, and his eyes were as fierce as cannibalism: "If you have anything to say, say it all."
Zhou couldn't say anything, so she only ordered a few heavy wooden boxes to be moved into the study.
These boxes are not big, and they smell faintly of blood.
What's this?
Yu Guangde gave an order to open all the boxes.
Several heads appeared in front of Yu Guangde and his wife.
They were the heads of several officials who were sent to Yangzhou. The heads had been processed with lime and had not rotted. They still retained the panic at the moment of death. Each head had eyes open with a look of death, and the eyeballs were bulging, like those in hell.
Like a devil.
Mrs. Zhou screamed, her eyesight went dark, her body went limp, she was so frightened that she fainted on the spot.
Yu Guangde was a man, and he was much more courageous than Mr. Zhou. His expression was changing, and he managed to hold on for a cup of tea before he vomited blood and fainted.
…
Yu Guangde and Zhou both fell ill.
Although the position of the head of the family has not yet been officially handed over to Yu Guangzheng, the Yu family members have already taken the initiative to look for Yu Guangzheng to "make the decision". The number of clan members who rely on Yu Guangzheng has also increased rapidly.
If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the position of head of the Yu family falls into the hands of Yu Guangzheng.
Empress Dowager Yu, who lived deep in the palace, was not as well-informed as before. When she found out about the changes in the Yu family, she almost fainted from anger.
Sheng Hong's methods are so fierce and his intentions are so sinister!
This is to completely separate the Yu family from her!
Although she was the Queen Mother, she was still in the palace, and many things had to be arranged by the Yu family. If the position of head of the Yu family fell into the hands of Yu Guangzheng, the Yu family would completely fall into the hands of the empress.
She is the big tree that covers the Yu family.
The Yu family provides most of the nutrients needed for this big tree.
The Yu family can't live without her, and she can't live without the Yu family.
Empress Dowager Yu issued an oral decree announcing that her natal sister-in-law, Zhou, would enter the palace. However, Zhou was seriously ill and could not stay, so the rest of the family members had to come on her behalf.
The person who entered the palace this time was Yu Guangzheng’s wife, Mrs. Wang.
