Chapter 562 The Family's Revenge

Male chicken?

Hearing these words, Yue Shan's face changed drastically, and he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good.It is very common for a hen to become a rooster in the 21st century, but in ancient times there was only one result...

He hurriedly asked: "Does the empress know?"

"The news has spread throughout Chang'an City this morning, and there is no way to hide it from my mother. After hearing the news, she was very sad and became pregnant..." Zhang Meng said bitterly:
"Those... people don't know how to be grateful, but they actually slandered the empress, accusing her... accusing her... Yuehou, you must make the decision for the empress...to take revenge."

Yue Shan's expression became even colder, and he said, "How many people have submitted letters to the court? Who are they?"

"Most of them are censors, and there are shadows of aristocratic families behind them." Zhang Meng looked around and subconsciously lowered his voice.

"It seems that those censors are unwilling to be lonely and colluded with the family. Well, well, if this is the case, let's clean them up together." Yue Shan sneered:

"Ask the sage a question for me, if you would like to postpone the battle to destroy Tutu for one year."

Zhang Meng couldn't help but shivered, glanced at Yue Shan, then quickly lowered his head, and said, "Here, this slave must have conveyed Yue Hou's words to the saint without difficulty."

"Eunuch Zhang, go slowly, I won't see you off."

"Don't dare to dare, the servant will leave." Zhang Meng said hastily.

After walking out of Yuefu, he wiped his sweat with lingering fear.There were rumors in the rivers and lakes that Qing Shui Hou killed people by talking and laughing, but he still didn't believe it at the time.

He was a very kind boy when we met. He never blushed, and never looked down on eunuchs like them.It's hard to believe that such a person would kill at the slightest disagreement.

But now he believed it.

The very plain tone of the phrase 'The War of Exterminating Tumors has been postponed for one year' made him feel a killing intent that penetrated his bones.

Why postpone the war of extermination for a year?Thinking carefully, he was terrified, he didn't dare to think too much.

"Hurry up and go back to the palace as fast as possible." Mounted on the horse, Zhang Meng yelled to his subordinates.When he walked halfway, he seemed to think of something, and said to his subordinates:

"It's an eventful time now, everyone please keep your mouth shut and don't say a word, otherwise I will personally send you away and tell all the wrestler maids this sentence after returning to the palace."

His murderous words startled his followers, so they responded quickly.

After sending Zhang Meng away here, Yueshan immediately came to Bao Dalin and said, "Go to Yu Zhiming and ask for capon stuff, the more the better. It is said to be used to feed the dogs. Don't show any abnormalities, and don't arouse anyone's suspicion."

"Here, I'll go right away." Bao Dalin said with a serious expression.

Although he didn't know what happened, he understood a reason after performing important tasks several times, once the master spoke to him in such a tone, it would be a big deal.

When encountering this situation, the best way is to ignore it, strictly follow the order, and don't tell anyone about it, including your own family.

After Bao Dalin left, Yue Shan hurriedly returned to his study and began to think about it.

To put it simply, a hen turns into a rooster. This is common sense in the 21st century. Chickens have two sets of reproductive systems, and their sex can be controlled by drugs.

In the absence of drugs, there are occasional mutations that cause a hen to turn into a rooster, although the probability is very low, as low as 5000 years old.

The ancients did not understand the scientific basis for the transformation of a hen into a male. In their view, the transformation of a hen into a rooster is a bad omen, and if it is small, it will destroy the family and the country.

And now there is a case of a hen turning into a rooster in Datang, which is simply the best excuse to criticize the queen.

Ordinary people definitely don't have the guts, but the aristocratic family is not among them.The conflict between the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty and the aristocratic family has been clearly revealed. The imperial power won the previous few times, and the aristocratic family will definitely not swallow this breath.

Now that they have such an opportunity, they will naturally not let it go.

What Yue Shan didn't expect was that Yushitai was also involved in this matter, or some people from Yushitai were involved.

But it makes sense to think about it carefully.

Before, because of the fact that students from Dizhou collectively wrote a letter to threaten the Ministry of Officials, a memorial from Yue Shan made Yushitai shut down for more than two months.Later, Yushitai was reopened, and its power was greatly restricted.

Some people are naturally uncomfortable, and it is not impossible to collude with the family.

Moreover, in the era when the imperial examinations were not booming, nine out of ten officials were from powerful families, and less than [-]% were from poor families.

This is the case in the Tang Dynasty right now, turning around and throwing it hit ten officials, and eight of them have aristocratic backgrounds.

Of course, family and family are also different.Some aristocratic families abide by the laws of the country and respect the imperial power, while some aristocratic families really look down on princes and ministers and despise the imperial power.

Those who despise the royal power are a group of cultural gentry represented by five surnames and Qiwang. This time, Yue Shan knows with his toes that it must be their handwriting.

And only they have the ability to persuade so many censors to jump out and attack the queen.

The eldest grandson Wugou is the closest person to Yue Shan in this world. He is even closer than Yue Lao Si and his wife emotionally.

The eldest grandson Wugou's health is not good in itself, and after several years of recuperation by Sun Simiao, he barely returned to normal. If there is something wrong this time...

Bah, even if she has nothing to do with her, Yue Shan will still use some people as an example to scare the monkeys, to see if anyone dares to talk about her in the future.

Originally, I wanted to give you a chance, but now it seems that there is no need, Yue Shan said to himself.

It's not that he's hypocritical, he really doesn't intend to fight with the family.In other words, his purpose was never to attack the aristocratic family, but to promote the academy system and the imperial examination.

Although doing so will damage the interests of the family and even lead to the demise of the family.

The existence of the aristocratic family naturally has its reasons, Yue Shan does not deny the positive significance of their existence, and simply attacking the aristocratic family will not help.

If the aristocratic family is gone, other forces will appear to fill the gap, and the common people will not benefit from it.

Only by doing a good job in the academy system and the imperial examination system can we fundamentally change the state of the country.

What Yue Shan wants to see the most is to peacefully evolve the aristocratic family, incorporate the power of the aristocratic family into the academy system and the imperial examination system, and jointly create a beautiful Tang Dynasty.

But now it seems that those proud families who don't move their fists are unwilling to sit down and negotiate.

That's right, the Tang Dynasty has been established for nearly 20 years, and the interior has begun to decay. It is time to perform surgery to remove the corrupt parts.

As for how to fight back, it is very difficult for people in this era. After all, the hen turns into a male, and the evidence is so strong that even the emperor cannot overthrow it.

But it is not difficult for Yue Shan, the best way to deal with feudal superstition is also superstition, and he is recognized as the biggest magic stick in this era, if he doesn't make good use of it, he will be ashamed of his name as a magic stick.

In the afternoon, Bao Dalin returned to the mansion with a large bag of chickens, pretended to go to the kennel, and then sneaked to Yueshan's yard.

"Roast and grind all the chicken into powder, then mix it with corn flour to make rice-sized grains." Yue Shan instructed.
