Chapter 169 Kangxi’s Test

When he sat down to rest, Hong Yun suddenly raised his little head and said extremely seriously: "My mentor, you are definitely sincerely doing your best for your disciple. I dare not say thank you, but I will definitely keep it in my heart."

Yuzhu smiled and said: "As long as your health is good and your life is smooth and safe, you will be satisfied with being a teacher.

Although Hong Yun is only six years old, all the descendants of the Tian family are precocious, and he has already understood many things.

"Master, can you talk to my Ama and let me move to the outer courtyard? Alas, my mother-in-law cares too much. She won't allow me to walk even half a step more." Xiao Hongyun is really sensible.

It got to the point right away.

Hong Yun's biological mother, the Li family, is also the daughter of the prefect Li Wenye. She is a Confucian Jin Dynasty canonized by the Ministry of Rites.

Before the Nian family entered the palace, the Li family gave birth to three sons and one daughter for the fourth child within nine years. This shows that she was extremely favored.

Yuzhu nodded, raised his hand and touched Xiao Hongyun's head, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will discuss this matter with Mr. Sibeile later. After you live alone in the outer courtyard, when you walk and endorse, you must put your hands on the ground.

Be sure to be thicker and don't hurt yourself."

Objectively speaking, Yuzhu did not mess around.

When Xiao Hongyun was tired from walking, he sat down to rest and drink water.

The nuns and girls who served him wiped his body clean and changed his wet clothes that were stained with sweat in the warm spring room.

The emperor's grandson is comfortable.

Some of the girls knocked on the back, some beat the legs, and some massaged Xiao Hongyun's arms. They were very considerate.

However, there was a nanny who would bring a bowl of dark soup every two hours and feed Xiao Hongyun to drink it.

Yuzhu couldn't help but frown. He was born with a deficiency, and the emphasis was on the nutritional balance of dietary supplements, rather than medicinal supplements.

However, this must be the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor and the method of taking the medicine as instructed. Yuzhu cannot interrupt it without authorization.

As an adult, it is impossible to do something that is too risky and thankless. This is the so-called gentleman who does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Half an hour later, Tang Bing came back, and Yuzhu ordered Xiao Hongyun to continue walking and endorse the book.

The two masters and apprentices set up separate rooms to talk in secret.

"How do you feel about being appointed to the Nan Study Room?" Tang Bing was a typical political animal. He directly asked Yu Zhu about his work in the palace.

Yuzhu smiled slightly and explained in detail what happened on his first day at the Yamen.

Tang Bing narrowed his eyes, twisted his beard and smiled, and said: "You are a new member of Nan Study Room, so you must still be under observation. However, you are doing the right thing. If I don't arrange the errands for you, you will definitely not do it. You know,

There are so many secrets in the South Study Room."

Yuzhu knew very well that every move he made in the South Study Room would be reported to Kangxi.

Moreover, Zhang Tingyu's sudden disappearance for such a long time seemed extremely suspicious.

"I have inquired for you, and you are the most special one among the little prime ministers in the South Study Room. As soon as you enter the South Study Room, you can help write important abbreviations. It would be better for you. You have been busy all day saying hello.

"Fuck." Tang Bing stroked his beard and smiled, "This must have been done intentionally."

"Hey, jade cannot be used unless it is polished." Tang Bing became more and more certain that as long as the jade pillar passed the emperor's special test, it would be reused.

Tang Bing was very ambitious. Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to become a disciple as a mentor.

The two masters and apprentices exchanged opinions in a low voice, and soon reached an agreement. It is better to stay the same and cope with all changes, which is the best policy.

In the next half month, Yuzhu lived a life of going to the Yamen at two o'clock and one line every day, dealing with those old and rotten wheat all day long.

What surprised Zhang Tingyu was that Yuzhu did meaningless tasks every day but never complained.

As time went by in Nan Study Room, Yuzhu, who had always been silent and immersed himself in his errands, gradually figured out the door.

Different from other yamen, the officials in Nanshufang not only have a special dining room, but also can go to have something to eat anytime and anywhere.

This is determined by the nature of Nan Shufang’s work.

Among the various yamen in the imperial court, the one that was open all year round and not sealed was the South Study Room that bore the brunt.

The reason is very simple. If Nan Shufang dares to close the door for a rest, the emergency military situation will dare to delay important events!

When the emperor could not make up his mind about important memorials or secret documents coming from outside, he would often call the important ministers from the South Study Room to the Qianqing Palace for discussion.

Yuzhu had been in office for almost twenty days, and he discovered that the important minister whom Kangxi called the most was actually Li Guangdi.

Because people could not leave the Nan Study Room at all times, after the daily imperial examination, the four important ministers, Wu Jun, Li Guangdi, Chen Tingjing and Zhang Yushu, took turns at different times.

Generally speaking, every four hours, a different important minister will be on duty in the south study room.

The extra person is used to replace the Minister of the South Study Room who is in Xiu Mu or on leave.

It must be said that Kangxi's arrangement was actually quite reasonable. This ensured that every important Han minister he trusted could express different opinions on the same matter during their rotation.

This is called brainstorming and embracing everything.

Before, everyone thought that Yuzhu would definitely not be able to sit still. However, the reality was a slap in the face. Yuzhu not only sat still, but also sat very firmly.

To put it bluntly, whatever Zhang Tingyu is like, Yuzhu is also like that.

Both Yuzhu and Zhang Tingyu wear official uniforms at the top of the fourth rank. It is easy to confuse people just from the back view.

Most people don't pay much attention to greetings, but Yuzhu sees a lot of truths in various places from the many flatteries.

For example, Ashan, the governor of Liangjiang, said in his greetings that the weaver was drunk in the market.

Hey, because paper is very valuable, ancient classical Chinese has always been a concentrated essence with few words and many meanings.

The weaver was drunk in the city, just five words, but what Yuzhu saw was that the officers of the Zhizao Mansion drank too much and made trouble in the street.

According to the unwritten logic of officials protecting each other, if Ah Shan and Cao Yin had a very good relationship, it would be impossible to add such a sentence to the memorial.

This seemingly irrelevant statement proves that the conflict between Ah Shan and Cao Yin is likely to intensify.

The three emperors of Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong sat in the palace and could command the officials to make more correct decisions. The reason is that all three of them could understand the little secrets hidden in the memorials of their ministers.

Jia Daoxian, these three emperors were in serious trouble. Among them, the worst one was Daoguang, who was not good at reading.

It's just that Daoguang didn't understand the meaning of the memorial. He always liked to find faults in the memorial and demoted and dismissed his ministers without reason.

As time goes by, even if Emperor Daoguang is sincerely frugal, no one among his subordinates would dare to tell the truth to him.

Only under a weird emperor can weird officials appear.

In the Daoguang Dynasty alone, more than 300 officials were dismissed, dismissed, imprisoned, exiled, or killed due to various minor problems.

The incompetent man who advocated kowtowing more and talking less, Cao Zhenyong, was born as a chief military officer, but after his death he was given the posthumous title of Wenzheng.

If the emperor knows people so poorly, how can the Qing Dynasty avoid being hammered?

Yuzhu, who is in a pivotal place, is simply like a younger version of Zhang Tingyu.

It was impossible to take notes in the south study room. After Yuzhu finished busy with the greetings at hand, he used his old examination skills to silently recite the corresponding key points into his heart.

Pay attention everywhere and you will learn!

Most people, as long as they are not reused, will become slack and lazy.

As for Yuzhu, he was idle anyway. He deliberately used a slow pace to write abbreviations while summarizing the actual situation in various places.

Kung fu is always outside of poetry!

After staying in Nan Study for almost a month, Yu Zhu had already figured out that he and Zhang Tingyu, the two youngest members of Zhi Nan Study, were actually the ones being squeezed out by the elders.

Moreover, Yuzhu, who is young and shameless, is even more marginalized.

Zhang Tingyu's coping method is also very simple. He concentrates on his errands and doesn't say a word.

As for Yuzhu, in addition to not speaking, he also immersed himself in studying the relationships between governors and local customs in various places, and kept them in his heart.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

On the day when He Shen was appreciated by Qianlong, Qianlong asked: Who is to blame when the tiger comes out of the coffin and the turtle jade is destroyed in the coffin?

The guards were all stumped, but He Shen stepped forward and answered loudly: It is the duty of the keeper of the code.

Qianlong saw what a beautiful young man he was and how talented he was, so he remembered his name.

The opportunity came as it came. On this day, Kangxi came to the South Study.

Yuzhu, Zhang Tingyu and others retreated outside the south study room and stood at the steps in front of the door.

At this time, an urgent memorial was delivered from the snowy area. Tsangyang Gyatso, who had been deposed, passed away on the way. Lhazang Khan of the Khoshot Khanate delivered a memorial to Beijing.

There are two copies of the memorial, one in Chinese and one in Tibetan.

Logically speaking, Kangxi's Tibetan literacy was not low. It was just that he was feeling unwell today and his head hurt, so he wanted to find someone to read the Tibetan memorial.

Unexpectedly, I found three people one after another, but none of them could read it fluently.

Kangxi was very angry and lost his temper in the south study room.

Yuzhu and Zhang Tingyu stood side by side at the foot of the steps. Both of them were very calm people, and neither of them could take the initiative to speak or look around.

Yuzhu was not stupid. He lowered his head and stood up straight, motionless.

When the emperor loses his temper, even if he makes a small mistake, he can easily be angered and suffer great misfortune.

Kangxi was called the Holy King, and when he cursed people, he was so vicious that it made you wish you could disappear from the world right away.

The fifth elder brother who was summoned from the Lifan Academy was scolded by the emperor so badly that he lost his dignity. For a moment, he was anxious and thought of Yuzhu.

Yuzhu understands Tibetan!

"Khan Ama, please calm down first. I thought it would be better to call Yuzhu in and see if he can read fluently?" The fifth elder brother also saw it correctly. Most of the emperor's anger has been vented.

If Yuzhu comes in at this time, as long as his thoughts are smooth, he will be rewarded generously.

Just like that, in the south study room, Yuzhu, who had always been marginalized, was called in alone.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yuzhu had already made sufficient preparations.
