I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 178
"The Yu clan of Suzhou originally lived in Muyang. Because it was rumored that Concubine Yu died here, a branch came here to guard the tomb. It belongs to the same branch as the Susong Yu clan in Huainan."

The Yu family of Susong belongs to the lineage of Yu Shinan in the Tang Dynasty. Compared with this family, the lineage of Suzhou is obviously at a disadvantage... After all, Yu Ji is a woman. Apart from her beauty, at most she has a beauty of martyrdom Not to mention the Min family after the sage, even the Xiang family, who claim to be descendants of King Xiang, are much worse.

So in this place of Suzhou, the Yu clan's reputation is a little bit unknown, and the people who come here, whether it's Su Shi or Li Qingzhao, don't pay much attention to this family.

The Patriarch of the Yu family is a middle-aged man, originally he was at the back of the queue, but now he was summoned by the emperor first, and grandiosely joined the team of the Min family and the Xiang family... Although there was nothing on the surface, but in his heart he did I am very happy.

Even if it was just this small difference, the Patriarch of the Yu Clan was secretly pleased. After all, in his memory, this was the first time he was in front of the Min Clan.

So facing His Majesty the Emperor, Patriarch Yu seemed very enthusiastic. He first introduced his family's history, then talked for a while about how much the Yu family missed the Great Song Kingdom, and finally showed his family's trump card.

"I dare not hide it. Suzhou and Bozhou do not have such a deep relationship. It is all because of the traitor Li Qiong... He kidnapped [-] people to defect, and most of those people lived in Bozhou."

"Since Su and Bo prefectures are close to each other, they have always been the horns of each other. The Jin people's southern defense against the soldiers of Yingzhou, Sizhou, Haozhou, and Yangzhou in the Song Dynasty relied on Su and Bo prefectures. The bandit Li ruled Bo, so he moved many people from Bozhou to Suzhou, and in this way, the relationship between the two places was broken."

If not to say that Suzhou's literary style is at its peak, Patriarch Yu, a person who doesn't even have any fame, has a very clear view of the Lianghuai area.

Liu Bang already knew all these things, and he was about to ask something important, but Guo Yaoshi gave him a step ahead:
"But I don't know what the Yu family has to do with Bozhou?"

Bringing this old boy by his side was mainly to relieve boredom, but he obviously didn't have this self-consciousness, he had to ask everything clearly, especially in war, he was almost more responsible than Liu Bang himself.

But it's still the same sentence, let's ask again, it's impossible for Liu Bang to give soldiers to this person, the main reason is that this boy is clearly a slave of three surnames, and it's not that the Song Dynasty has no generals, so it's not possible to gamble on him.

At this time, he asked and asked, although he was a little uncomfortable, but he was asking what he wanted to ask later, so Liu Bang held back and listened to Patriarch Yu's statement.

Although this man didn't know Guo Yaoshi, but seeing that he was someone close to the emperor, he still replied respectfully:
"I can't say it is related, but it is true that I have contacts with many people in the city."

After he said it, it turned out to be...

Indeed, in terms of reputation and status, the Yu family is inferior to the Min family and the Xiang family, but at least they have established their clan here, after all, they have their own abilities.

And this ability is the same as the other two families, and it also depends on their ancestors.

Some people are about to ask, but Yu Ji is a woman, and she has no skills, so what can she rely on?

What is reliable is her identity as a woman.

It is said that before the death of King Xiang, the stunning beauty threw down the sentence: "The king is exhausted, so why should the concubine live?" After that, she slayed herself.

Such a chaste and pure woman is naturally a model for contemporary girls to learn from.

It is said that if you want to learn, you have to learn from Concubine Yu, but don't learn from those women who stole children in Kaifeng City back then. The Yu family is even more proud of this, and regards women's chastity as the family purpose and the rule of the world.

The girls of the Yu family have learned the three obediences and four virtues since they were young. Take the contemptuous Ayu from Liu Bang just now as an example. As a girl in the family, she didn't even choose a name. But it was Wang Chan, a court lady with a lantern in her hand.

In this way, the rich families around took a fancy to the noble sentiments of the women of the Yu family. From the time when the surname Li was Tang in this country, the women of the Yu family were the most popular daughter-in-laws in the hundreds of miles around. .

Not to mention Suzhou and Bozhou, even Xuzhou, Chenzhou, and even as far away as Jinan Prefecture, if you can choose, the Yu family is the first... Over the years, everyone has become more and more important to the matter of women's chastity. The women of the Yu family It became more and more popular.

Many of the young ladies of the Yu family were booked even when they were babies, and they were married as soon as they reached adulthood.

In the Song Dynasty, the dowry and the dowry were always in half. Only in this Yu family, the dowry had to be multiplied or even several times the dowry in order to be able to ask for a daughter. The degree of its popularity can be seen.

Naturally, the confidence of the Yu family is that there are more than [-] families in the city of Suzhou who are related by marriage. It must be a family with famous ancestors.

That is to say, the purpose of the Yu family is very strict. A married daughter is like water poured out. The family members of the mother don't care whether she is dead or alive. Although this seems a bit mean, it makes the women of the Yu family more respected by the husband's family. I like it.

"More than thirty households..."

This number is not to say surprising, but it is by no means small. Seeing Patriarch Yu respectfully handing over a piece of paper, what is written on it is the origin of the surnames of those families.

Unexpectedly, this family alone could bring such a surprise, Liu Bang thought about it, and asked one more question:
"Since the Yu family doesn't contact the girls, what's the use of this list?"

Patriarch Yu bowed and said, "What the officials said is very true. If it was normal, this list would definitely be useless."

"But now is the time when we expelled the captives in the Song Dynasty. Bozhou was originally the territory of our Han people. It has been occupied by the Jin people for so many years, and we will come back after all."

"At this moment, your majesty is armed with the power of thousands of troops, and the destruction of Bozhou city is just around the corner. As the head of the Yu family, the villain can't watch people who are related to the Yu family help the tyrant and go on the wrong path. I should advise them to do it as soon as possible." Get a clear picture of the situation and get ready to meet Master Wang."

"The contact in this way is not for my Yu family, but for them. It's not a violation of the rules."

Liu Bang suddenly liked this person a little bit... Gou Ri's words did not show any flaws, he was really a person who had to set up a memorial archway after being a man.

"Then if you get in touch, how sure can you be that you can make him abandon the dark and turn to the bright?"

Patriarch Yu was still very respectful: "Ten percent."

"Ok?"

Liu Bang suspected that he had heard it wrong, but seeing Guo Yaoshi's shocked expression, he knew he hadn't heard it wrong.

Seeing the doubts on everyone's faces, Patriarch Yu explained unhurriedly:

"Don't dare to lie to the officials. These 33 households are now all headed by old people from the Yu family. The mistresses of their families are all women from the Yu family."

"So they can count when they talk... The other new daughter-in-laws of the Yu family, or younger ones, are not recorded in the villain's register."

This is undoubtedly good news. Since Zhao Mi and Yang Yizhong arrived in Suzhou, they have suffered big and small losses under the hands of the Bozhou general. Casualties alone are not a price the two of them can afford.

Naturally, it was not the price Liu Bang wanted to bear.

Now with the help of the Yu family... These thirty or so households are not ordinary people, but they are all big men with a reputation. If they work together, it will be more effective with less effort.

Everyone was happy, everyone was happy, and Patriarch Yu was also very happy seeing that he had played a role. When everyone was happy, Liu Bang finally made his request.

"Just now, I invited a lady from your family over. To tell the truth to the Patriarch, I really like it."

"I happened to hear that she was not yet married, so I wanted to make an unfeeling request to the Patriarch to let Ayu follow me. Presumably the Patriarch would not object?"

After hearing this, Patriarch Yu, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly froze his smile on his face, and after a while, he finally came to his senses and said:
"Officer, official, didn't Ayu tell you that she already has a marriage contract?"

The emperor invites, who dares not to obey?The Yu family thought that Ayu already had a family, and thought that as long as she revealed the whole story, no matter what the emperor did, he would have to take his own reputation into consideration, and it was impossible to make things up.

Especially seeing that Ayu had gone out just now, Patriarch Yu thought the matter was over, but when the emperor mentioned it, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

The Yu family was able to stand here because they relied on women on the surface, but this is the same as doing business. In the end, it is a word of 'trust'... For dozens of generations, no one has broken this rule.

Back then, a rich family from Suzhou proposed to the Yu family. After the two families made a marriage contract, they met the Jin army going south. The rich family went bankrupt overnight and became a beggar. Just like that, the Yu family did not dissolve the engagement.

now……

Patriarch Yu looked at the looking forward to the emperor, completely lost the joy he had just now.
