Chapter 238 What kind of nonsense led to promotion and ennoblement?
Hongluan quickly wiped the water from the corner of her mouth, ignoring the wet patches on her clothes, and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure? Is he really your biological father? Or is he some kind of scheming person again?"
When the Yu family revealed their true colors today, they also explained why they kept Yu Zhiyi by their side back then and why they didn't drive her away later.
They weren't reluctant to part with the kinship between father and daughter, mother and daughter, or brothers and sisters; rather, they wanted to further squeeze every last drop of value out of Yu Zhiyi.
Hongluan was worried that the so-called biological father who had suddenly come to her door was also of this kind.
Looking into the woman's bright, foxy eyes, Yu Zhiyi felt a warmth in her heart: "I can sense that he has no ulterior motives; he simply came to recognize his relatives."
She had been feeling like someone was following her for a while, and it must have been this father and son.
"I haven't agreed to go back with them yet; I want to think about it."
Hongluan nodded: "Being cautious is the right thing to do."
She seemed to want to speak but hesitated, yet still wanted to.
After a long pause, he said, "My father has also dealt with people in the martial arts world and knows something about the Martial Alliance. The two leaders of the Martial Alliance were father and son, and their reputations were quite good. However, this is only their reputation in the martial arts world; no one knows what kind of behavior they have in the inner quarters."
"If possible, you'd better have your fortune told."
After Hongluan left, Yu Zhiyi weighed the copper coin in her hand, and finally gently raised it.
After a moment, she looked at the three copper coins that had fallen on the table, her eyes flickering slightly.
the next day.
After the morning court session.
"What? Minister Yu wants to resign?"
The emperor looked at Yu Zhiyi in astonishment: "Are you dissatisfied with your current official position and salary?"
Yu Zhiyi shook her head: "No."
"That means... you want to go back to the Martial Alliance?"
Yu Zhiyi was not surprised that the emperor would know about this matter. After all, yesterday's events had caused quite a stir, and they had happened right under the nose of the capital. It would be strange if the emperor hadn't received the news.
She nodded honestly: "Yes, I want to go see my mother."
The emperor remained silent for a moment before saying, "How about this? I will allow you to take those files with you, along with twenty constables. This way, it won't affect your return home or your work. What do you think?"
Yu Zhiyi: "...Hiss, Your Majesty, have you ever heard of a person in the world named Zhou Bapi?"
Emperor: "Never heard of it."
A kind smile appeared on his mature and refined face: "Minister Yu wants to go home, I grant it, but don't mention resigning again in the future. Do you know how many students in the world have studied hard for decades, just to get promoted and become noble? What you want to give up now is what they dream of."
Yu Zhiyi honestly replied, "But becoming an official is not my long-cherished wish."
Her lifelong wish was to ascend to heaven.
However, the emperor's words did remind her that she could not easily resign from this official position.
A hundred years ago, Princess Jialuo, the protector of the country, devoted all her efforts to making the situation of women in this world less difficult.
But to say that her status has risen too much? Not really.
Many ambitious women are excluded from the world of fame and fortune simply because of their identity as "women".
In recent years, the status of women in the Great Sheng Empire has shown a trend of weakening.
Her rise can give those women some confidence and hope.
If she rashly resigns from her official post, the status of women in the Great Sheng Empire may plummet once again.
Fine, I'll work a few more years.
It's not too late for her to take off her official robes when there are more capable female ministers in the world.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhiyi temporarily suppressed his thoughts, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I understand. I will handle the official business during the holiday first, and then ask for leave."
The emperor was very pleased: "Very good, go ahead."
After Yu Zhiyi left, Eunuch Hu stepped forward to pour tea for the emperor.
Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Eunuch Hu smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, your long-standing heart ailment has finally found a cure."
Since a century ago, the martial arts alliance has grown increasingly powerful, even threatening the imperial court's position.
Admittedly, the number of people in the Martial Arts Alliance is less than the number of government officials and soldiers, but those who are qualified to join the Martial Arts Alliance are all masters who can fight ten against one, and some can even fight a hundred against one.
Those notorious bandits and mountain outlaws were not afraid of the imperial court's threats, but when it came to the Martial Alliance, they were all sincerely convinced and regarded it as a god.
The existence of the Martial Arts Alliance has always been a thorn in the emperor's side.
Over the years, the royal family has tried to eliminate or appease the martial arts alliance, but all attempts have failed.
However, it has now been revealed that a fifth-rank official in the imperial court is actually the niece of the leader of the martial arts alliance.
Isn't this a fantastic thing?
With the help of this Dr. Yu, it is likely that both the pacification and the elimination will be much easier.
"You're quite the shrewd one," the emperor said with a smile, his face beaming with a warm and gentle smile.
"Pass down the imperial decree, saying that Physician Yu has solved many strange cases and made outstanding contributions. During this southern tour, he is specially appointed as the Inspector General, with the authority to execute first and report later. He is also granted a mansion and one hundred taels of gold."
Eunuch Hu gasped, "It is truly a blessing for Physician Yu to be so highly regarded by His Majesty."
When the imperial decree was delivered, Yu Zhiyi was full of questions.
What kind of thing is this that leads to promotion and titles?
The inspecting governor was a third-rank official.
Although it was only her identity while she was away, she was still a fifth-rank official when she returned, which can be considered a leap in her official rank.
This is even more outrageous than her garden ascending to immortality.
Before she knew it, she was on par with the original Yu Chunyue?
Even her original father-in-law, Prime Minister Du, was only two ranks lower.
Li Rou rubbed her hands together excitedly: "Miss, you're a third-rank official now? That's amazing!"
Zhang Xiang, standing outside the door, couldn't help but giggle foolishly.
Seeing how happy the two of them were, Yu Zhiyi couldn't bear to dampen their spirits.
Deep down, however, he always felt that this official position came out of nowhere.
Unfortunately, divination masters cannot perform divination for themselves, because nine out of ten divinations are inaccurate.
At most, it can only predict good or bad fortune.
Fortunately, she doesn't rely solely on fortune telling in her dealings with people; she simply responds to whatever comes her way.
In recent days, rumors about the origins of the fake heiress of the Yu family have been circulating widely. Upon learning the truth, the people of Shengjing have been cursing the Yu family mercilessly.
Zheng, in particular, was so scolded that she dared not go out.
But soon, she couldn't even avoid going out.
Soon after, the police came to her door, saying that someone had accused her of attempted murder seventeen years ago and that they wanted to take her away for questioning.
Zheng naturally denied everything, but the Jingzhao Prefecture brought in Yu Jiaojiao.
They actually wanted to find Yu Chunyue, but Yu Chunyue hadn't come out since entering the palace. The Jingzhao Prefecture didn't know his whereabouts. Zheng had a vague guess, but dared not say it.
In the lobby, Madam Zheng vehemently denied everything, but Yu Jiaojiao, unaware of what had happened back then, refrained from contradicting her.
Just when the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture was feeling extremely troubled, Yu Chunyue was escorted to the outside of the prefectural office.
Unlike Yu Jiaojiao, who was just a baby back then, Yu Chunyue was involved in the entire process.
Moreover, he also fell for the truth charm.
