All Hail Cousin Brother

After the death of King Zhou Li, the Northern Territory was in chaos by the Marquis of Changxing. The Zhang family did not get the pension that should have been given to the Zhang family. Because it was involved in the death of King Zhou Li, others kept it secret. That's the end of it.

This gave her an excuse to play off the subject.

Yu Youyao's tense mood finally relaxed. The feudal king did not engage in political affairs, but the feudal king could legitimately come forward in matters related to the feudal king.

The pension issue was brought up again, and Youjun couldn't stay out of it anyway, so it would be best to leave Zhang's complaint to Youjun.

As long as she doesn't get involved, this matter will have nothing to do with her.

No matter how many calculations the nobles made, it was all in vain.

This matter seemed to be resolved by her in an understatement, but it was dangerous, and she was the one who understood it best.

This was a conspiracy, and the nobles did not conceal their sinister intentions from the beginning.

Zhang's kneeling has pushed her to the forefront.

How can a beautiful jade collide with a stubborn stone?

The only thing that can collide with a stubborn stone is a sharp knife.

Youjun is this sharp knife that can cut through gold and stone.

Yu Youyao adopted a roundabout approach, starting with pension money, and in public, blamed the Zhang family's misery on the gentry who killed King Zhou Li. It seemed that he was diverting misfortune to the east, but he was also forcing the people behind the scenes to chaos. .

Others were very secretive about the death of King Zhou Li and did not dare to talk about it openly.

But this does not include Princess Shaoyi, who was personally granted a title by the imperial court.

This move really messed up the situation of the nobles, forcing them to place the instigating gangsters early in the morning, in full view of the public, with no way to hide.

At this point, Yu Youyao took control of the situation.

but!

Her counterattack has just begun.

Yu Youyao curled her lips slightly: "Go to the Yamen of the state capital."

Ye Xiaoci was handling official duties in the yamen when he suddenly heard the sound of "dong dong dong" drumming, one after another, hitting his ears heavily.

His eyelids twitched involuntarily, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

really!

There were hurried footsteps outside, and a government servant rushed into the study as if he was impatient: "Sir, sir, no, it's not good. Princess Shaoyi is here, and she is complaining outside!

"What?" Ye Xiaoci's hand holding the brush shook, and a drop of ink fell on the official document: "You just said, who is out there complaining about grievances?"

The yamen servant wiped his hands with cold sweat: "Yes, it's Princess Shaoyi."

Ye Xiaoci has been practicing in the officialdom for many years, and his expression of emotion and anger is immediately revealed: "This is really unexpected."

The yamen servant was also confused, who wouldn’t say no?

After the shock, Ye Xiaoci picked up the black gauze hat on the side and put it on his head, adjusting his official uniform: "I want to see what kind of tricks this Princess Shaoyi is playing."

Outside the state government office, drums were beating, and the drumming sound penetrated the nearby streets and alleys.

Princess Shaoyi's incident of beating drums at the Yamen of the state government to express her grievances was also widely spread.

People came from all directions and surrounded the government office.

The tightly closed red lacquered door outside the Yamen was opened by the Yamen servants with a "clang" sound, followed by the sound of "Shengtang" coming from the Yamen.

Yu Youyao put the drumsticks back to their original places, took the handkerchief from Chunxiao and wiped her hands. Then she arranged her appearance and clothes and waited for the summons from the hall.

The Zhou Dynasty area implemented state and county governance.

The state officials are in charge of the lower counties and are already the largest local officials. However, the state capitals are also divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. The upper state has jurisdiction over the middle and lower states, and the middle state has jurisdiction over the lower states.

State capitals generally also hold other official positions, and the powers of border state capitals are also greater than those of ordinary state capitals.

The official positions in the state capital generally range from the third to the fifth rank. The specific rank depends on the size, population, prosperity, military, etc. of the area under the rule, and various circumstances.

Ye Xiaoci served as the state capital of the three provinces of Liaodong, but at the same time he also held the position of governor. His scope of authority extended to the Shanshan and Shaanxi regions, directly covering the entire Youzhou. He commanded the local military, political, and civil departments. He could be called a feudal official.

Therefore, it is also called "Youzhou Prefecture".

The capital of Youzhou, this is just Ye Xiaoci's nickname.

If someone else is appointed as the state capital, if he cannot hold the post of governor at the same time, it cannot be called "Youzhou Prefecture".

The border governor's function was greater than that of other regions. It was presided over by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs and had a restrictive effect on local vassals.

In addition, because each region has the position of governor, inspectors dispatched from time to time, and various tolerant censors, etc., also play a role in containing and even controlling the governor to a certain extent.

Therefore, the state capital may seem beautiful, but its most important function is to contain the feudal king.

Ye Xiaoci seems to be in charge of the military, political and civil affairs of a province. He has great power and is regarded as the "border official". However, unlike other regions, the military power on the border is in the hands of the feudal king, and the state government has the power to mobilize it. , but had no control over them, and because state officials wanted to restrain the feudal kings, they were always under the control of the court.

The power is great, but the danger is also very dangerous. Except for the children of the Linjiang Ye family, most people really can't cope with such a situation.

Therefore, Ye Xiaoci generally would not get involved in the affairs between the vassal king and the gentry, lest he accidentally get involved and cause trouble.

But there is no doubt that Ye Xiaoci has great power in the north.

What Yu Youyao wants to do is to use Ye Xiaoci's hands to pull out the people who planned all this today from the gutter and execute them publicly.

After a while, a yamen servant hurried over and humbly invited Yu Youyao into the court.

Ye Xiaoci asked in a routine manner: "Who is playing drums in the hall?"

Yu Youyao has a title and does not kneel before officials. She replied loudly: "The little girl Yu is Youyao. She is a native of Jingzhao. She is the eldest daughter of Zongzheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel. She has been conferred the title of First-class Saint Zhengyi from Shao. Princess Yi, I have met Mr. Ye."

Ye Xiaoci nodded: "Princess Shaoyi, you don't have to be polite." Then he turned around and ordered the servants on the side: "Sit down, Princess, please take a seat."

The Yamen servant hurriedly entered the inner hall, and soon moved an ebony Taishi chair, placed it in the hall, and asked Yu Youyao to sit down.

Yu Youyao did not refuse, gathered her clothes and sat down.

Ye Xiaoci then asked: "Since the princess has beaten the drum of grievance and gone to court, then I must act in accordance with the law. If there is any negligence or negligence, please forgive me."

Yu Youyao nodded: "It should be so."

Ye Xiaoci then asked: "Princess Princess, if you have any grievances, please tell the truth."

Yu Youyao stood up from the chair, stood in front of the court, and bowed to Ye Xiaoci: "This county went to Longfeng Temple today to offer incense. On the way back, I encountered a woman who openly intercepted my driver's car in front of everyone. , Kneeling down and crying for injustice, such a ridiculous behavior is not a big deal, and this county only thinks that this woman is ignorant of etiquette and law."
