Chapter 145 Better to tell the truth

An hour later, Huan Yu arrived at the cemetery.

The Huan family does not have as long a history as other big families, and the first generation head of the family, Duke Huan, is still alive.

Therefore, there is no ancestral hall in the mansion, and the ancestral tombs are just enclosed land, far from being large-scale.

Huan Yu handed his mount to the person responsible for guarding the cemetery, straightened his clothes and then walked over slowly.

Hearing his footsteps, Ji Fengzhuo, who was kneeling on the ground, turned around.

Huan Yu walked over, knelt down, and kowtowed three times respectfully.

Ji Fengxing's tomb is well-built, similar to the tombs of other matrons of noble houses, and is neither shabby nor overly luxurious.

There is only the Huanmen Luo family on the tombstone, and no name is engraved on it.

Because of this, Xiao Pei still didn't know her mother-in-law's maiden name after she came to pay homage once with Duke Huan.

The nephew and uncle did not talk to each other, they just laid out the sacrifices one by one and burned the paper money together.

"Yu'er, let's not disturb the eldest sister's peace here, go and talk in the woods over there."

Huan Yu didn't want to disturb his mother at first, so he walked into the woods with him.

The nephew and uncle each found a place to sit down. Ji Fengzhuo was a little disappointed and said: "Yu'er, why didn't you bring the princess with you?"

Huan Yu had long expected that there would be such a problem today,

His tone was a little light: "I heard that the status of women in the Jin Kingdom is very low. Normally, my uncle would not like the princess to get involved."

Ji Feng choked.

What my nephew said is indeed true.

The women of Jin Kingdom have the least status among the surrounding countries.

On weekdays, he is not even allowed to show his face, let alone sit with men to discuss important matters.

The queen mother, Ji Lingyu and the eldest sister were able to live so comfortably only because of their father's love and protection.

Even so, as their son, nephew, and brother, he has not developed the habit of respecting other women, and he still looks down on them deep down.

But is Princess Yiyang an ordinary woman?

Even if he didn't like her getting involved, he still had to have more contact with her.

At present, he has occupied eight counties in the southwest of Jin State, and there are countless things to do. It is impossible to spend too much time in Tianshui County.

If everything goes well, he plans to set off back to Jin Kingdom tomorrow.

If I can't see Princess Yiyang today, it will not be easy to see her again in the future.

Seeing his complexion flickering between bright and dark, Huan Yu shook his sleeves and said, "Uncle is a busy man, and it takes time and effort to make detours. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Ji Fengzhuo took a deep breath.

"Yu'er, you must be curious about the purpose of your uncle's trip, right?"

Huan Yu nodded slightly: "I thought my uncle had the same idea as nineteen years ago, and wanted to meet with the Emperor of Wei through us.

Later, after seeing your words and deeds, it seems that this is not the case."

"Yu'er is really smart, just like your mother." Ji Fengzhuo praised.

Huan Yu almost imitated Xiao Bi and rolled his eyes.

People who are accustomed to playing tricks can't be expected to act cleanly and neatly.

His face darkened: "Uncle, it's best to tell the truth. I'm not very patient."

Ji Fengzhuo didn't expect that her nephew could be so powerful. While she was secretly happy, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Yu'er was still young, and he was originally worried that his tender face would make it difficult for him to achieve great things, but now it seems that his worries are completely unnecessary.

Maybe people who do it are often difficult to control. Hasn't he suffered less from the same losses over the years?

"Uncle?" Huan Yu called again.

Ji Fengzhao calmed down and said: "Wei has strong soldiers and horses, and its combat power is far superior to that of other countries.

If my uncle can get the help of Wei State, he will be able to wipe out Xiang Ni and his gang members in a few months.

But my uncle really didn't dare to do this. What happened more than 20 years ago was still vivid in his mind.

If Emperor Chongwu of the Wei State had not planned for the Kingdom of Jin, his father would not have been tired of dealing with it. In the end, he was so busy that he ignored Xiang Ni's plot.

My uncle was too radical when he was young. If his eldest sister hadn't warned him repeatedly, he might have made a big mistake long ago.

Now, although my uncle has limited military strength and ordinary talents, he never dares to make the same mistakes as before.

Only by relying on the country you have built can you sit securely."

Huan Yu frowned and said, "In that case, why did uncle come to look for me?

Don't forget that although I am your nephew, I am basically a descendant of the Duke of Wei County.

Now that I have married Princess Yiyang, I have gained the additional status of being the brother-in-law of His Majesty the Emperor of Wei.

If I try to help you, some things will not be explained clearly."

Ji Fengzhuo said hurriedly: "What Yu'er said is wrong! My uncle only has two daughters. Even if everything goes well, who will inherit the country after a hundred years?"

Although your surname is Huan, you are the eldest sister’s only son..."

Huan Yu was really convinced.

Ji Fengzhuo's mouth can not only speak, but also dare to speak.

Isn’t this lying with your eyes open?

He is only thirty-two years old this year and is in the prime of life.

At first glance, it is impossible for him to be an infatuated man like Emperor Qingde. Once he becomes emperor, he will have many women around him.

When there are more women, are you worried that no one will inherit the throne?

To put it another way, even if he really doesn't have a son, are his two daughters just decoration?

There are also those royal family members of the Jin Kingdom, they are a group of outsiders who act according to the changing circumstances. They will support whoever becomes the emperor.

No matter how much Ji Fengzhuo hates them, she still wants to feed them well.

He couldn't write two characters of Ji in one stroke, and some young men from the Ji family took the initiative to become his sons.

And he was just a man with a foreign surname, so what qualifications did he have to be the emperor of the Jin Kingdom?

He said coldly: "Uncle, please be careful what you say. If these words get out, it will make us both bad people."

Ji Fengzhao stroked her forehead and sighed: "Yu'er, what uncle said was from the bottom of his heart.

My father was so kind to the royal family, but those white-eyed wolves were so inhuman.

It’s just that they don’t have the ability to resist Xiang Ni, but there’s not even one person willing to stand up and say a fair word for their father, queen and mother…”

At this point, he sniffed and forced back his tears.

"If Mr. Han hadn't spoken out for justice, the bodies of my father, the emperor, and my queen would not have been able to be buried, let alone buried in peace.

But Mr. Han’s family also suffered because of this, and dozens of members of his family were all killed by Xiang Ni..."

Huan Yu narrowed his eyes.

He was not familiar with the situation in Jin State, and he knew nothing about the officialdom of decades ago.

But this Mr. Han...

He remembered clearly that the wife of City Lord Chunyu was named Han, and her experience was similar to what Ji Fengzhuo said. Could it be that they were the same family?

Once this matter is questioned, it will involve countless things, so it is best not to talk about it today.

"Since time is pressing, uncle, it is better not to talk about these old things, but to talk about the purpose of your trip."
