Chapter 139: The Imperial Waist Card (It’s the end of the month, month
"Long live the Lord's words, the jade pillar is very good, and I will give you a house with five hot springs in Xiaotangshan, one thousand taels of silver, and a waistband of Qianqing Palace." What Wei Zhu brought was naturally great news.
After listening to Kangxi's secret order, Yuzhu thought to himself, "I slapped Lao Shi4 and Lao Ba in the face, and then rewarded me with the hot spring house in Xiaotangshan. Hehe, is this a reward, or is it to engender hatred for him?"
Most people may not know that any place with springs near Xiaotang Mountain has been classified as a royal hot spring by Shunzhi.
To put it bluntly, no matter how much money you pay, you can't buy even an inch of the hot spring residence there.
These days, with a wave of the emperor's hand, the good place that originally belonged to you becomes the royal family, and you don't need to pay a penny.
The imperial badge of Qianqing Palace is even more powerful.
This is a lofty political treatment that allows you to enter the palace to meet the saint at any time. There are only a few princes and ministers who enjoy this treatment.
From now on, Yuzhu handed over the royal waistband in front of the palace gate, and he could go directly to the Baoxia of Qianqing Palace without any obstruction.
Please note that Qianqing Palace is the official residence of Kangxi, not Qianqing Gate.
From Qianqing Gate to Qianqing Palace, there is still at least a few hundred steps.
So far, in the entire old Tong family, only the uncle Tong Guowei has such a belt, not even Longkodo.
"The imperial censor of Jiangnan Road is also the censor of the clan, and I, Yuzhu, have received the order to thank you for your kindness." Yuzhu didn't care about so much, as long as Kangxi dared to give it, he would dare to accept it.
However, after Yuzhu accepted the reward, he took the opportunity to exchange tea and sit down again, deliberately walked to the door, reached out to open the door, and glanced at Wujiang outside the door intentionally or unintentionally.
Wu Jiang immediately understood and prepared to go down.
There is actually a generational gap between Wei Zhu and Yuzhu. This is because Wei Zhu and Long Keduo have always been brothers.
Although there are no big or small rivers and lakes, Wei Zhu was the second most popular person around Kangxi, and his status and strength were there.
With Wei Zhu's overwhelming power, there was no need to flatter Yu Zhu. He took a sip of tea, briefly missed a few words that Kang Xi wanted to say but could not say, and took the initiative to leave.
Before leaving the house, Yuzhu deliberately turned sideways to block the view of Wei Zhu's personal eunuch.
Wu Jiang slipped a banknote into Wei Zhu's cuff without even realizing it.
In order not to delay today's important event, Wu Jiang took Wu Sheng and practiced for two years.
Who is Wei Zhu? As soon as his sleeves moved slightly, he knew that money was coming in!
Just kidding, if Wei Zhu hadn't changed several sets of clothes every day, her cuffs would have been worn out long ago.
Wei Zhu pretended not to let him go, but Yu Zhu insisted on sending him to the carriage at the gate.
Well, children can be taught!
When they were about to leave, Yuzhu deliberately lowered his voice and whispered: "My aunt, my concubine, please take care of me, please." He bowed to the ground again.
"Easy to say, easy to say." Wei Zhu hasn't seen the banknote in his sleeve yet, so how can he say something solid?
After Wei Zhu boarded the carriage and left Toujia Alley, he dismissed the little eunuch waiting in the carriage on the pretext of buying snacks.
Lifting the curtains slightly, Wei Zhu saw clearly the silver note given by Yuzhu, which was actually ten thousand taels.
Many people think that Liang Jiugong is more powerful than Wei Zhu. Therefore, the price for giving Wei Zhu money to do things is 8,000 taels, while the amount given to Liang Jiugong is 10,000 taels.
Eight thousand, what Wei Zhu hates the most is this eight thousand. Whoever gives away eight thousand taels can only settle the matter by 80%, and you can keep the remaining 20% by yourself.
The jade pillar gave Wei Zhu ten thousand taels, just to ask Wei Zhu to help take care of the little concubine Tong in the palace.
Alas, no one has this kind of filial piety!
Wei Zhu has received too much shady money. This is the first time that he has accepted money out of filial piety.
According to the rules in the palace, you have to do things when receiving money. Otherwise, who will give you money in the future?
Just by exploiting the eunuchs and maids in the palace, how much money do you have?
After Wei Zhu returned to the palace, he severely criticized Yuzhu's early departure in front of Kangxi.
Kangxi was not a fool. If Wei Zhu openly said good things about Yuzhu, he would definitely be found out.
Therefore, Wei Zhu deliberately went against the grain and criticized Yuzhu's unruliness.
After Kangxi heard this, he pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "The Tong family are all of the same virtue and cannot sit in the yamen."
Wei Zhu was secretly very proud. It was done. If Yuzhu leaves early in the future, Long live the Lord will not be able to pursue him.
What does it mean to say good things to you in the palace?
Isn't it your shortcoming that the emperor became numb and became more tolerant of you?
This is the so-called opposite approach of doing the same thing but doing the opposite.
That's what Longkodo did.
How could Kangxi not know that he was making a lot of money? He was just pretending not to know.
When will Longko stop being greedy and start contacting important ministers? Hehe, Qing is just waiting for bad luck.
After sending Wei Zhu away, Yuzhu returned to the study and continued to make plans to impeach Ling Pu.
A good book actually has a fixed formula. It’s just that the charges are different.
For example, charges such as being insane, arrogant and rude, taking bribes and perverting the law, indulging slaves to commit murders, robbing people's shops, and the like can be punished by the Manchu dignitaries in Manchu City no matter who they accuse.
In the evening, a person who Yuzhu didn't expect suddenly came to the door.
"My wife, Fucha Anlin, has met my sister-in-law."
Yuzhu's serious father-in-law, Fucha Changde, sent his only son to deliver the message. It would be his fortieth birthday in a month, and he asked Yuzhu to come over and discuss the matter.
The emperor has officially granted the marriage, and from a legal point of view, Changde is Yuzhu's father-in-law.
It's his father-in-law's birthday, and even though the Fucha family has not officially married yet, Yuzhu, the son-in-law, has to go over and help.
Changde is a doctor in the Department of Precaution and Punishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He is a half-fat person. There is not much money to make, and there is no shortage of small coins to drop into the pocket.
After all, if the maids or eunuchs who made mistakes in the palace were punished with a stick or above, the palace concubines or the leading eunuchs were not allowed to use lynching, but the punishment department needed to use the public stick to beat the punishment.
In Qing Dynasty palace dramas, there is always a scene where a certain concubine shouts sternly, someone is coming, and she is beaten twenty times, but this does not actually exist.
Moreover, the palace does not allow punishments such as slaps in the face. If you hurt your face and disgust the emperor and the empress dowager, the sin will be even greater.
An Lin was Changde's only son, and his personal arrival showed how much Changde valued Yuzhu, his son-in-law.
The first-class Heilongjiang general Sabsu was an only son. He only had one son in Changde, and Changde only had one son and one daughter. It could be regarded as a single inheritance from three generations.
(Note: The Eight Banners garrison generals in the Kangxi Dynasty were of the first rank, and those of the Qianlong Dynasty and later were all of the subordinate rank.)
Banner people in this era generally got married early. In most cases, men were already married when they were fifteen or six years old.
Before An Lin, there were several older brothers. Unfortunately, because An Lin's parents got married too early and his body was not yet mature, all the children born before him died.
When the serious uncle came, Yuzhu naturally could not neglect him. Not only did he go to the gate to greet him in person, he also invited An Lin to take a seat.
An Lin was a typical straight person. After a few shirks, seeing that Yuzhu was very insistent, he took the seat unceremoniously.
Yuzhu couldn't help but secretly nod. Straight people are easy to deal with. It would be troublesome for him to deal with his uncle who has so many tricks up his sleeve.
The young lady of the wife who was given a marriage by the emperor in public would never be divorced unless she died of illness.
In other words, if An Lin is a free-spirited guy, Yu Zhu will have to pinch his nose to protect his wife's face.
It's fine now. It seems that An Lin is a straight man. That's good. That's good!
This serious uncle came to visit me for the first time. Naturally, Yuzhu served me well with the best tea and fruits.
"To be fair to my sister-in-law, what my father means is that he doesn't want to do anything big, but he also wants to have a little face." An Lin is indeed a straightforward guy, and he doesn't use any indirection in his words. He directly talks about Changde.
Real thoughts.
Who is Yuzhu? Not only did he not feel any discomfort, but he also fell in love with An Lin.
"I don't know, uncle, can you tell me something clearly?" Yuzhu didn't bother to play tricks when dealing with a straight-faced guy, so he simply asked him directly.
"I heard that, sister-in-law, you are very familiar with the Lifanyuan?" When An Lin said this, Yuzhu immediately understood that he wanted to invite the fifth elder brother to show up.
Moreover, Yuzhu also realized that Changde wanted to invite the fifth elder brother to support the show, maybe it was not just for the sake of face, right?
Sure enough, before Yuzhu could ask questions, An Lin told the inside story.
"Well, mainly because of my uncle, who is currently the eighth-grade pen-sticker of the Lifanyuan. He is almost thirty years old and has always been a humble official. So, what I mean is that I would like to ask my sister-in-law for your help.
Please introduce him to Mr. Wu Beile, who is in charge of the Lifan Academy." An Lin really didn't want to be polite to Yu Zhu, and directly stated his idea of seeking an official position.
Naturally, it was impossible for Yuzhu to refuse. He was not a true gentleman. How could he not understand the ways of the world?
An Lin, you have made this request confidently in person. If Yuzhu refuses, how will he have a good relationship with his wife Fucha in the future?
Uncle, if you speak ill of you in your wife's ears every day, it will be a very uncomfortable day.
Besides, these days, when one person attains enlightenment and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, this is a secular trend that is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
If he wanted to introduce the fourth elder brother, Yuzhu asked himself, even if the fourth elder brother gave him the face to meet An Lin's uncle, he might not be promoted.
The fourth child is a super doer. What he likes most is capable officials with real talents and learning, and he doesn't like mediocre people who have no ability.
The fifth elder brother is different.
The relationship between Lao Wu and Yu Zhu was so good that even if they had to wear a pair of trousers, they would have to cut off the head of a chicken and sworn blood.
More importantly, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.
Lao Wuben is the elder brother of the Lifan Yuan. He wants to promote the eighth-grade pen-stick style to the seventh-grade pen-stick style, which is just a matter of words.
However, even if he is 100% sure, Yuzhu will only be able to speak five points and will never be able to finish the whole sentence.
If it is full, it will be easy to break. If it is full of words, if it fails, it will be easy to offend others!
After all, no matter who the fifth elder brother promotes, he must make concessions and ask Kangxi for permission.
"It shouldn't be a big problem to invite Mr. Wu Beile. However, if you want to promote your uncle, it may not be that easy." Yuzhu habitually said something ugly in front of him, so as not to make any mistakes in the future.
An Lin would blame him.
(ps: This waist card is very important. Changchun Garden will definitely need it in the future. It’s time to enjoy the monthly pass, which is invalid when it expires.)
