Chapter 86: Sure enough, it's him
The ministers, as the procession entered the palace, and after a symbolic gesture, they dispersed and departed.
As soon as Chu Yujia walked out of the palace gate, he was stopped by Gong Qingdang, who was the prime minister of Ye State and his father-in-law.
"Lord Yue. ”
Chu Yujia respectfully bowed to Gong Qingdang.
"This is still within the boundaries of the royal palace, so there is no need to be polite. ”
Gong Qingdang waved his hand and said, "You did a good job this time, it seems that you can get promoted again." ”
"There is a little credit, but there are also mistakes. ”
Chu Yujia and Gong Qingdang walked side by side, and said as they walked, "It's already good to have merits and demerits offset each other." ”
"No, it won't. ”
Gong Qingdang said: "To the extent that the king likes you, this is nothing, at most he will only punish you verbally." ”
Speaking of this, Gong Qing paused and continued: "Your mother-in-law hasn't seen Xiao Yao'er for a long time, and she misses it very much, so tonight, let's bring their mother and daughter to the house for dinner." ”
Chu Yujia was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said yes.
After finishing speaking, Gong Qingdang took the lead in leaving.
Looking at Gong Qingdang's departing back, Chu Yujia couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.
Later in the evening, Chu Yujia took Gong Limo and Xiao Yao'er, and a family of three came to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a carriage.
This is where Gong Limo grew up, and it is also the home she hasn't been back to for a long time.
When leaving, maybe even Gong Limo herself never thought that she would come back one day, and she would come back openly.
After the Chu family was lonely, the Gong family, who was married to the Chu family, was naturally impacted, not to mention that Gong Limo was relegated back to the fiefdom and was not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned, even Gong Qingdang had several months without making a single statement in the court.
Even if Chu Yujia was heavily valued by King Ye Zhao Yan, the ban on Gong Limo was lifted, and after returning to Yueling City, let alone going back to her parents' house, she didn't even come out of the gate a few times.
Seeing Gong Limo's stunned appearance, Chu Yujia, who was holding Xiao Yao'er in her arms, gently held her arm and said, "This time is different from the past, if you want to come back in the future, you can do it at any time." ”
Hearing this, Gong Limo turned his head and glanced at Chu Yujia, and said, "The daughter who marries out, after all, is the water that is spilled, and it is always bad to come back too diligently." ”
"What do you care about?"
Chu Yujia said nonchalantly: "We are different from others, and we don't need to care about anyone's eyes. ”
"You have to care. ”
Because Gong Limo returned home, he obviously had a good conversation, and he rarely talked to Chu Yujia about his thoughts, and said: "After all, this is the capital, and many things have to be done according to the rules, I don't want to make trouble for you behind your back while not being able to help you with anything." ”
The palace family is a famous family in the Ye country, and the mansion is naturally not comparable to Chu Yujia's earl's mansion, there are hundreds of servants and miscellaneous servants in the mansion alone, and the scenery such as the man-made lake in the garden in the mansion is correspondingly complete.
And the original Chu family was not bad, Chu Yujia's father Chu Qianwen was a general himself, and he was also a marquis, and commanded nearly 100,000 soldiers of the Northwest Army to guard the northwest.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the title, among the princes, except for the rare person who succeeds to the title of duke, it is already capped in the title.
To a certain extent, Gong Limo's marriage to Chu Yujia is not a marriage, but it cannot be regarded as a good match, after all, Chu Yujia was just an official body given to him by Zhao Yan, the king of Ye, in order to reward Chu Qianwen, but Gong Limo was named the lord of Danyang when he was born.
After the decline of the Chu family, Gong Limo almost completely cut off contact with the relatives of the Gong family, and those relatives were naturally unwilling to go up, after all, the Chu family had fallen, and she was also sent back to her hometown, who would be willing to deal with her, and even when she left home, many relatives came out and fell into the well, and at the same time scolded Chu Yujia well, she also scolded her.
But now is different from the past, who would have thought that the guy who was degraded and exiled at the beginning would become the hottest young general in Ye State, and he sat in the position of lieutenant general at a young age, not to mention, but also became Ding Xibo.
How old is he this year?
But twenty-five years old.
What about thirty-five, forty-five?
No one knows where Chu Yujia's final apex is.
At this time, outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gong Limo's two brothers, the eldest brother Gong Libo, and the second brother Gong Lisheng stood outside the door to greet him.
Gong Limo stepped out of the carriage with the support of Chu Yujia, Chu Yujia bowed to the two uncles, and the two of them still returned the salute.
Gong Libo and Gong Lisheng were also born to Gong Qingdang and Princess Pingyang, although they were rewarded with the title of prince when they were very young like Gong Limo, but they have really made no practical achievements for so many years, but there are some romantic names in Yueling.
After seeing the ceremony, the group entered the house together, and at this time a banquet had been prepared in the house, and the children and children were picked up by the maids in the house, leaving only this pair of three couples.
In the main hall, a Ruyi black lacquered wood round table with seven or eight people sitting was placed, and after the food was served, none of the people present sat down, and they all stood respectfully on both sides.
Not long after, Gong Qingdang, who had already faded into court clothes and changed into civilian clothes, walked out of the inner hall, and walked out with him, as well as the sister of King Ye Zhao Yan, Princess Zhao Yuzhu of Pingyang.
The founding monarchs of all dynasties, no matter what kind of bird they look like, their wives and concubines and princesses will naturally not be bad, after the improvement of the bloodline from generation to generation, they are naturally handsome men and beautiful women, Gong Limo is a famous beauty, as her mother, she is naturally only strong.
Her skin was fair and ruddy, with a dignified smile on her lips, and she looked very amiable and gentle, and although she was almost fifty years old, she was still a beautiful woman.
The two of them came out, and everyone waiting in the lobby saluted one after another, Gong Qingdang waved his hand and said: "It's all your own family, you don't need to be polite, tonight is also a family banquet, there is no need to be so restrained, sit down." ”
Only then did everyone sit down, and after Gong Qingdang took the lead in eating a piece of fish and meat into his mouth, everyone began to move their chopsticks.
The rules within the big family are the rules, and no matter what the master says, the rules cannot be broken.
Gong Qingdang took the lead in holding the wine glass and said: "Today, our family is also bitter, and we are finally reunited, come, let's have a drink together." ”
Everyone raised their wine glasses, and after signaling to Gong Qingdang, after he drank it, they also drank the wine in the cups one after another.
"What about this second glass of wine, we have to talk about Yu Jia as well. ”
"This time, Yu Jia successfully took back the Later Song Mission, although there were some twists and turns on the way, but it can be regarded as a successful completion of the king's explanation, and he will definitely be rewarded by the king in the future. ”
Gong Qingdang looked at Chu Yujia, and said kindly: "In the future, Yujia's future is limitless. ”
"Lord Yue's love is raised. ”
Chu Yujia raised his wine glass and said, "All of this is also due to Lord Yuezhang's intercession in front of the king, if it weren't for Lord Yuezhang, Yujia would not have survived to this day." ”
What he said was a bit of a pampering and not shocking, although Gong Qing was an old fox in officialdom, but he was also happy to hear it.
After chuckling, Gong Qingdang gestured to Chu Yujia.
Chu Yujia reacted immediately, hurriedly poured another glass of wine, looked at Princess Zhao Yuzhu of Pingyang, and said: "Mother-in-law, speaking of which, this time Yujia acted recklessly and did a lot of outrageous things in Pingyang Mansion, and I hope that my mother-in-law will not be surprised. ”
"It's no wonder. ”
Zhao Yuzhu sighed faintly, glanced at Gong Qingdang beside him with some resentment, and then said: "Forget it this time, but Yu Jia, there must be no next time, after all, being a soldier is to protect the people, and you can't cut the knife in your hand to the heads of the people." ”
"Mother-in-law taught me that Yuka has been taught. ”
How could Chu Yujia not know this truth, but in what situation at that time, if he didn't kill those people, it would be Ye Guo losing face in front of the Later Song Dynasty.
Only by doing this can they give an explanation to the Later Song Dynasty, and can they give an explanation to the eldest princess of the Later Song Dynasty, Yuan Wanyu, and it also shows the intentions of Ye Guo, they definitely have no intention of making enemies with the Later Song Dynasty.
Chu Yujia's approach can actually be seen by a clear-eyed person, which is also the reason why King Ye Zhao Yan did not blame Chu Yujia on the spot.
And the consequence of this is naturally to make Chu Yujia bear a lot of infamy and crimes in Pingyang Mansion, but is Chu Yujia a person who cares about his reputation?
Before, perhaps, but now, he's not.
is ruthless and ruthless, doesn't remember infamy, as long as it is something beneficial to Ye Guo, even if he has to bear a big infamy, he doesn't care.
This is also the reason why Yewang Zhao Yan likes Chu Yujia, and it is also the reason why he likes Chu Qianwen.
Chu Yujia is like this, as Chu Yujia's son, Chu Qianwen is also like this.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Gong Qingdang and Princess Zhao Yuzhu of Pingyang left together, also to give young people a chance to communicate.
Although the Gong family now has Gong Qing as the power of the dynasty, and the family is in full swing, Gong Qing will retire from that position sooner or later, and when the old people are gone, the rest is this group of young people.
And among this group of young people, Chu Yujia is naturally the one who is most likely to become a powerful minister in the future.
If nothing else, let's just talk about his relationship with the future King of Ye, Zhao Kuan, and his status cannot be low.
After the couple left, the pressure on the scene suddenly decreased, and Gong Libo and Gong Lisheng also began to change cups with Chu Yujia and drank, and the wives of the two, that is, the two sisters-in-law, also surrounded Gong Limo to ask questions, and the family was happy to ask from time to time.
A family banquet lasted until the evening, when everyone went to understand their children who had gone crazy, went to the inner house to say goodbye to Gong Qingdang, and then got into their own carriages and went their separate ways.
Not long after Chu Yujia and Gong Limo left, a light rider wearing black armor with a white cloak hanging from his back rushed quickly, rushed to Chu Yujia's carriage, turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "General, my subordinates have something important to report." ”
Chu Yujia opened the curtain, stood in front of the carriage, and asked, "What's the matter?"
The cavalryman quickly took out a letter from the placket and handed it to Chu Yujia, Chu Yujia opened the letter and looked at it, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "Sure enough, it's him......"
