Chapter 457 Impeachment
"You haven't told anyone about this, have you?"

Yu Zheng shook his head.

"No, I just told you."

"That's okay. You must never tell anyone else about this in the future. If the emperor knows your identity, you may only have one ending."

As for the fate Zhou Yu didn't say, both of them knew it well.

"If you want to break off the engagement, I agree."

When Yu Zheng said this again, he felt like someone had stuffed a handful of yellow lotus in his mouth, which made him sore.

If Yu Zheng had said that he wanted to break off the engagement before, Zhou Yu would have wanted to jump three feet high. But now that she knew Yu Zheng's life experience, she also knew why he said he agreed to break off the engagement.

But now Zhou Yu couldn't cancel the engagement.

"What are you thinking? Am I that kind of person? Our marriage is a gift from the emperor, and we can't just back it off."

Although Yu Zheng knew this was wrong, his eyes brightened surprisingly after hearing Zhou Yu's words.

"Then if you say so, are you willing to marry me?"

Zhou Yu's hands spread out.

"Do I have a choice?"

Zhou Yu looked like his usual self again, but Yu Zheng didn't care about Zhou Yu's current attitude at this moment, as long as her words were enough.

"Yu'er, after your eldest brother gets married next year, let's get married too."

Zhou Yu was so angry that she slapped Yu Zheng on the shoulder. She had no choice but to slap him on the head, but her height was limited.

"What are you thinking? I will only be seventeen next year. If you ask me to marry you, you can do it!"

Yu Zheng was shocked. Is seventeen still young? Don’t normal people get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen?

"Then when do you plan to marry me?"

"We'll see, but it won't be until I'm twenty at least."

Thinking that there were still three or four years left before he turned twenty, how could Yu Zheng wait?

"What? No?"

What Yu Zheng could say at this moment was, of course, what Zhou Yu said.

"Okay, whenever you say it will be."

Yu Zheng felt that after he told Zhou Yu the secrets he had accumulated in his heart, he felt much more relaxed. Moreover, with Zhou Yu's words, he felt that the relationship between the two was much closer.

Just then Ye'er came over.

"Girl, Lord Yu, the king and the princess heard that Lord Yu has come, and asked the servants to invite Lord Yu to the main courtyard to talk."

Yu Zheng knew in his heart that it took a long time for him to see Zhou Yu this time. He thought Uncle Zhou was worried, so he asked Ye Er to call him over.

"Yu'er, do you want to come with me?"

Thinking that it was almost time for dinner, Zhou Yu did not refuse.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

The two of them walked out of the courtyard side by side to the main courtyard.

In fact, the courtyard where Zhou Yu lives is not far from the main courtyard. The main reason is that Zhou Yu does not want to live too far away from his parents, and it is inconvenient to go to eat.

"Father, mother." As soon as Zhou Yu entered the yard, he saw his father and mother sitting at the stone table talking. He trotted over, took her mother's arm with one hand, and sat down on the stone bench next to Lian.

Yu Zheng was a few steps behind.

"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou."

"sit down."

Yu Zheng sat down, and Wu went to make some tea. The four of them talked about common things, and from a distance they seemed to be enjoying themselves.

However, there was something wrong with Zhou Bang's eyes when he saw Yu Zheng. Thinking that in a few years, his daughter would marry into the Yu family, he became more and more displeased with Yu Zheng.

But he was also afraid that he would embarrass Yu Zheng now, and that his daughter would have a difficult time when she married into the Yu family. This boy would bully his daughter, so Zhou Bang was suffering a lot in his heart.

Since Yu Zheng knew his feelings, he respected the Zhou couple very much, and he tried his best to talk about topics that interested them.

Soon a message came from the kitchen saying that the meal was ready, and someone called Zhou Yan, and the family sat in the flower hall to eat.

After eating, Yu Zheng didn't stay long and said goodbye.

He came here just to see Zhou Yu. He still had some unfinished business and had to go back to make arrangements.

Yu Zheng has been in Kyoto City for so many years, and it is extremely easy to secretly arrange for someone to leave the city.

The most important thing is that no one in the Cao family escaped, and there were no major cases in Kyoto City during this period. There were no fugitives or anything like that. Therefore, although the city gate was strict, it was not so strict as to be abnormal.

After sending the person away, Yu Zheng fulfilled his grandmother's wish.

Next, Yu Zheng started to plan to clean up the Mei family. The reason why he didn't touch the Mei family before was because he had never found out where his grandmother's body was buried by the Mei family. This was what his mother was most worried about before she died. thing.

So even though Yu Zheng had that ability, he still didn't touch the Mei family, but it's not needed now.

By the time Zhou Yu found out, it was already at the end of the year. He heard that the younger generation of the Mei family was infected with smallpox. In just two days, most of the Mei family, from the master to the servants, were infected. smallpox.

In the end, the government had no choice but to send troops to surround the Mei family and burn them all, including the Mei family.

As for the nonsense the Mei family shouted during the fire, not a word came out.

Because most of the people sent were from Yu Zheng, how could this matter reach Kyoto City.

Or because this matter was a big deal, you should know that there were dozens of members of the Mei family, and they were all burned down by the government.

Another one is that the Mei family is Yu Zheng's grandfather's family. Although the two places are thousands of miles apart, the news spread in Kyoto City.

After the incident spread, some imperial officials in the court impeached Yu Zheng. They were afraid that Yu Zheng would be vindictive, so they asked the emperor to dismiss him from office or send him to a remote place in the countryside.

However, the emperor turned a deaf ear to the impeachment of these censors and still relied on Yu Zheng.

The officials in the court were very powerless. They really didn't understand why the emperor trusted Yu Zheng so much. They felt that even if the government killed his grandfather's family, Yu Zheng would not have any thoughts of revenge.

But since the emperor didn't say anything, and the censor's impeachment was useless, they had nothing to say.

…………

Three years later, at the edge of the field in Jinjia Village, Zhou Yu looked at a dozen people in the field, one of whom was riding a semi-automatic harvester to harvest rice. She was extremely pleased. After two years of research, she finally found this harvester. The research is out.

Although the speed is not as fast as those of modern large harvesters, it is still much faster than cutting with a sickle.

The semi-automatic harvester is not big, and the entire fuselage is made of iron. The fuselage is like a tricycle. A person can sit on it and push hard with his feet. The faucet in front is used to control the direction.

It's just that there is a harvesting machine head in front of the tricycle. When a person pedals hard, the front machine head will turn inward, and the rice ears will be rolled into the machine for threshing. The rice will fall into the sacks hanging on the side and be removed. The rice grains can be directly taken to the drying field to dry, which can greatly reduce a lot of manpower and material resources.

Now not only Jinjia Village, but also the four prefectures around Kyoto City use this semi-automatic harvester. Due to cost issues, most of them are manufactured by the government, and then charge a small amount of rent and rent them to local villages.

The emperor is planning to spread these harvesters and rice transplanters to all the state capitals in the Zhou Dynasty. It is only a matter of time.
