Liu Kan had just joined the team, so naturally he had to show his skills. He took out a page from his sleeve, which listed in detail what time to do, what officials to meet, and what etiquette to perform.
This was exactly what Sun Chengyun needed most. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He pulled Liu Kan's sleeve and called him brother Kan.
Liu Kan was a sesame official of the sixth rank, and Tang Bing was only a minor official of the fifth rank. He accepted the jade pillar without breaking any taboos.
Many people are complaining that Bole does not appreciate or promote them.
Well, that's because you don't have the vision and knowledge of Liu Kan and Tang Bing.
It's more your fault that you have no vision and courage, you don't recognize talented people if you don't have resentment, and you don't get promoted by Bo Le. This is the right truth.
One of the clear examples is actually the story between Xiao He and Liu Bang.
Xiao He was the chief official with the most real power and status among the county officials, while Liu Bang was just a gangster-like pavilion chief... However, Xiao He made a big mistake and recognized Liu Ting Zhang as the master.
Xiao Xiangguo, what kind of foresight is this?
You must seek refuge with powerful people with great potential as early as possible, and you must be willing to invest and not be afraid of handing over investment certificates. If it is too late, you may not even be able to drink the soup!
Another clear example is the legendary story between Tang He and Zhu Chongba.
At that time, Tang He was already a Qianhu leader with 1,500 troops, while Zhu Chongba was still a novice monk in Huangjue Temple.
In the end, Tang He was exceptionally well-received and was posthumously named King of Dongou.
Only by providing help when the cold stove is needed can you obtain the greatest personal benefits. This has been the case since ancient times!
In history, the pinnacle of Shaolengzao must be Lao Shisan who supports Lao Si to take over.
When the prince was deposed, the thirteenth took the blame for the fourth and helped pull the prince down. From then on, he was completely disliked by Kangxi.
After the fourth son ascended the throne, the thirteenth son became the executive deputy emperor.
Yongzheng once said: I rely on Wang Yi's praise to achieve peace, and Wang Shi can assist me to bring peace to the world. Xian said that the encounter between sage kings and virtuous ministers lasted for thousands of years, and now they are found among the emperors and princes of this branch.
With Liu Kan's help, everything went smoothly when it came to accepting the lottery.
After arriving at the auspicious time, two ancient wild geese took the lead, followed closely by Yuzhu on horseback. After that, a huge procession of receiving color went to the Meridian Gate in a mighty manner, beating gongs, drums, playing instruments and singing.
Hi, What a talented person, the jade pillars of Yushu Linfeng are particularly eye-catching.
"What a handsome young boy!"
"Like a pretty girl."
"Oh, it would be great if this was my son-in-law!"
"Whose girl is blessed?"
Along the way, everyone pointed at the jade pillar and talked about it.
No matter what era it is, there are always many people who like to watch the excitement.
It's the princess getting married again, so everyone will inevitably gather around and comment on the entire team of recipients.
"How does Fourth Master Chang compare with the Fifth Princess' surrender?"
"Haha, the person who sent Gu Yan as a gift is much more handsome than the one last time. Moreover, this person is the only number one scholar in the Qing Dynasty who passed the sixth grade, so he is much more impressive."
"I heard that the emperor likes the ninth princess who is about to surrender."
"Second Master Qin, you are right, that is what happened. However, the fifth princess was not bad that time. After all, my dear wife, Eni, is the Concubine De."
"That's because Concubine De has a high position, second only to Concubine Tong."
Everyone was a sensible person. On such a happy and wonderful day, they only said happy words, and no one mentioned the unfortunate fact that the fifth princess died too early.
Because there were many onlookers on the road, the large procession to accept the lottery walked slowly. It took more than an hour to arrive outside the Meridian Gate.
In front of the Meridian Gate, the officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple and Qintian Prison stood in a row early, waiting for Yuzhu and others to come.
A royal princess is born in the princess's palace, not married to a prince.
Therefore, after today's acceptance of the lottery, the six rites of asking for names, Naji and Nazheng have been omitted, leaving only the invitation and personal greeting.
However, at the front of the queue in front of the Meridian Gate, there was a bright yellow figure.
According to the etiquette, except for the emperor and the prince, anyone who dares to use bright yellow will be considered treason and his head will be chopped off.
Yuzhu thought to himself, the prince is actually here, what is his plan?
Prince Yinreng, life has been very difficult in recent years.
After Suo'etu died of starvation, Yinreng's strength was greatly reduced and his momentum was also dampened.
The so-called centipede insect is dead but not stiff.
The ship was broken, but there were still several kilograms of nails.
After all, the prince is still the legitimate crown prince. There are still many civil and military ministers who want to cling to the prince and gain support.
In front of the Meridian Gate, under the watchful eyes of everyone again, Yuzhu got off his horse early and walked quickly towards Yinreng.
"Nacai Jilang, I, Yuzhu, respectfully invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jin An."
Yinreng smiled and raised his right hand, and immediately called Yuzhu to stand up.
"Yili."
After Yuzhu stood up, he bent down to face the prince and honestly said a lot of auspicious words for receiving Cai.
"The emperor's sister surrendered, and today she accepts the lottery, which is a great joy and a good deed." The prince also said a cliché in accordance with the requirements of etiquette.
The etiquette of accepting a gift is complicated. After giving away a pair of wild geese, there is no need to worry about the jade pillar.
Yuzhu didn't want to have anything to do with the prince at all, he wanted to take advantage of it and slip away.
However, fearing what might happen, the prince actually ordered the little eunuch beside him to call Yuzhu over.
The prince is a half-king, so it is only natural that he ask Yuzhu to come over.
Yuzhu had no choice but to bite the bullet, walked to Yinreng, and knelt down to salute again.
The etiquette cannot be discarded!
Not to mention the jade pillar, even the eldest brother Yinti, the prince of Zhijun, had to kneel down and kowtow to the prince when he saw him.
Speaking of which, this was mainly because Kangxi was particularly partial to the prince.
After making Yin Reng the crown prince, Kangxi ignored the opposition of his ministers and allowed Yin Reng to enjoy more than 90% of the emperor's treatment according to the standards of the Ming Huidian.
"Yili." The prince called directly without wanting to embarrass Yuzhu.
After Yuzhu stood up, it was naturally impossible for him to take the initiative to ask Yinreng, why did your highness call the minister?
Yinreng said with a smile: "The clan has done evil, and the impact is extremely bad. It really should be rectified. It's good that you fulfill your duties and are not afraid of the powerful."
Oh, Yuzhu understood it as soon as he heard it. He got down on the Zhenguo Gongen Mountain and ruined the face of Lao Si and Lao Ba. The prince was very happy.
"His Royal Highness, it is the duty of a minister to fulfill his duties to the best of his ability. I just did what I should do, and I do not deserve such praise from Your Highness."
There were many people in front of the Meridian Gate, and everyone saw that it was Yuzhu who the prince asked the eunuch to call, not Yuzhu who approached to flatter him.
Yuzhu has no ghosts in his heart, so he naturally has nothing to fear.
If they met in private, Yuzhu would have to worry about rumors.
Previously, the prince needed Suo'etu's strong support, and Suo'etu was extremely domineering. Suo'etu had the final say in almost all matters surrounding the prince.
It was precisely because the prince followed Suo'etu's advice that Kangxi hated and feared him so much that he had to kill him to feel at ease.
If you think about it for a moment, how would you feel if your own son, whom you have loved for decades, only listens to your uncle's words and wants to win over important officials in the court behind your back, trying to hollow out your power base?
Even though he had not read the details in the history books, Yuzhu still believed that Prince Yinreng was a typical political idiot.
A country is like a family and an enterprise!
The chairman is in very good health. He can eat three large bowls of white rice at a meal and act as a groom every night.
The executive vice chairman and general manager went behind the back of the chairman and aggressively wooed the directors and vice presidents.
Hey, what do you want to do?
The Aisin Gioro family specializes in political idiots.
Daoguang's son, Sixth Elder Brother Yixin, is also a brainless guy.
When the old emperor was about to die, he summoned him and asked: What do you want to do after I die?
Guiziliu didn't care at all. The old emperor was about to die but was extremely afraid of death. He actually talked about his policy policies and philosophy of governing the country all the way, and it was obvious that he wanted to change many of Daoguang's basic national policies.
Damn it, the old emperor is not dead yet, so you have to change the national policies he set. Hey, how can the great position be passed on to you?
The fourth elder brother Yiqin, who was lame after falling while riding a horse, was taught to be very smart by his teacher Du Shoutian.
When he saw Daoguang lying on the dragon couch, he didn't say anything. He knelt down on the spot, hugged the old emperor's legs, and cried loudly. His son didn't want the throne, he just wanted his father.
When Daoguang saw it, he thought that this son was a pure filial piety, so he should pass the throne to him.
However, Daoguang was also very foolish. In his handwritten edict, he first named Guiziliu Prince Gong and then named Yiqi the Crown Prince.
Is this for fear that brothers will fight each other?
If Xianfeng had been more vicious, it would have been entirely possible for him to find a reason to kill Guiziliu, a great threat to the imperial power.
The current crown prince Yinfeng, in fact, will have the last laugh as long as he lies down and does nothing.
Not fighting is the biggest fight!
However, power is charming, and Yinreng's massive expansion of power forced Kangxi to support Lao Ba to compete with him.
As a result, it became a three-lose situation, which greatly benefited the fisherman like Lao Si.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that the prince called him here to win over him.
The problem is, in front of so many officials, and in public, his little heart may not be able to bear it.
"Are you still practicing Dong Qichang's calligraphy?" When the prince asked this question, even Haha Zhu, the most confidant around him, was instantly dumbfounded.
Haha Zhuzi thought to himself, the prince really wants to win over Yuzhu.
Yuzhu said respectfully: "I have been practicing when I return to Your Highness. Last time, with your guidance, I also hung two jade balls on my wrists after I returned. After my wrists gained strength, my words became much better." Made progress.”
Yinreng nodded frequently and said with a smile: "I think I have some experience with Dong Qichang's calligraphy. When you have some free time, you can come to Yuqing Palace to find me and have more exchanges. There will be no harm in it."
Can Yuzhu say no? No.
Can we go to Yuqing Palace to find the prince? Absolutely impossible.
Yuzhu was not an official of the East Palace. He went to see the prince privately, even if it was to practice calligraphy, but the yellow mud fell into his crotch and he could no longer explain clearly.
What's more, after Yuzhu lay down on the Zhenguo Gong'en Mountain, Lao Ba was still staring at him, wanting to see his next move.
(ps: It’s three days since the end of the month, so I’ll give you a monthly pass.)
