Zhao Donghe, the magistrate of Daxing County, is essentially a member of the Yuzhu camp, but is relatively marginalized.
Zhao Donghe's advantage is that he and Yuzhu are brothers in the same school. In addition, he is thick-skinned and is not afraid of being left out, so he has a place beside Yuzhu.
However, Zhao Donghe didn't know that his mentor Tang Bing had already become a disciple of Yuzhu.
Even if the princess leaves the palace, she can only leave the palace at dusk.
However, Sun Chengyun, a Heshuofu, rushed to the gate of Qianqing at seven o'clock in the afternoon, waiting for the emperor's summons.
However, the emperor never summoned him, but there was an endless stream of ministers coming and going.
When the fifth elder brother came out of the Qianqing Gate, he saw Sun Chengyun under the platform next to the door, so he walked over and said with a smile: "Khan Ama has agreed to me, and I will be the messenger and wedding presenter." I am an imperial envoy. I will go to Xihua Gate first to inspect the ceremony of the princess’s departure. I will see you at your house later.”
Sun Chengyun knew very well that among the three elder brothers, Fifth, Seventh and Twelve, Fifth Elder was the most arrogant one.
The fifth elder brother looked at Yuzhu several times just for his sake. Otherwise, he wouldn't even look at him.
"Master Beile, today is my lord's big day. If you can enjoy it, the wall will be shining brightly. When the time comes, you and Yuzhu will join my lord, and the three of us will get drunk." ." Sun Chengyun was as humble and courteous as ever, and went straight to salute, not daring to call himself the fifth elder brother's sister-in-law.
The fifth elder brother smiled and nodded, and said: "Let me give you a break first. The seventh and twelfth elders will also go to support you when the time comes."
This morning, the palace officially issued a decree, and Sun Chengyun is already a serious Heshuo, and he is the Duke of Feng'en Town.
The Duke of Fengenzhen, among the twelve ranks of the royal family, belongs to the fifth rank, ranking eighth.
The first four ranks of the twelve nobility ranks of the royal family are: Prince Heshuo, Prince Doro, Doro Beile and Gushan Beizi.
Sun Chengyun, the Heshuo Fu, was ranked below Gushan Beizi, and Tong and Feng'en, the Duke of Zhen, were higher than Feng'en, the Duke of Fu. These two Dukes both received eight points.
The so-called eight points, "eight points" means eight shares. Before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, every battle captured was divided into eight shares, and the qualified nobles of each banner participated in the distribution of the spoils according to their respective levels. Later, these people The identity of the nobles gradually became fixed, and it became a level of nobility, known as "the eighth grade".
For eight points, you are entitled to use eight special items, including: Zhu Lun, Purple Rein, Back Pot, Purple Pad, Gemstones, Eyes, Leather Strips, and Eunuchs.
Not long after the fifth elder brother left, Lao Qi came out of the Qianqing Palace.
When he saw Sun Chengyun, Lao Qi walked over, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Jiu sister-in-law, we will be a family from now on."
Sun Chengyun bowed and said: "Seventh Master, you should call me Chengyun. You don't dare to use the word sister-in-law."
"Haha, why shouldn't you take it? Even if you go to Qianqing Palace, you will still be my sister-in-law." The relationship between the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Princess is very good. This is because of the dual faces of Yuzhu and the Ninth Princess, and they are happy to promote them. Sun Chengyun.
"Khan Amma is summoning the ministers. Please wait for a moment. I will go to your house to find Yuzhu first. That boy has been missing since he became an official. He needs a beating." Lao Qi waved his hand.
Before Sun Cheng could finish the ceremony, he walked away gracefully.
Old Twelve came out almost half an hour late.
After seeing Sun Chengyun, Lao Twelve said: "I am a poor brother and cannot afford to give too heavy a gift. Chengyun, please bear with me more."
Sun Chengyun thought to himself, if it weren't for Yuzhu's sake, the famous pickpocket Lao Twelve would give him a gift? Hey, there is no way.
After several elder brothers left, Kangxi summoned Sun Chengyun.
However, Kangxi did not ask about the preparations for the wedding in detail, but asked Lao Shi what caused trouble that day?
As the old saying goes, you can't be close without being distant!
No matter how much the emperor dislikes that idiot Lao Shi, Lao Shi is also his biological son.
What's more, what the emperor dislikes the most is his son, not Lao Shi, but Lao Jiu, a poisonous snake with a strong philistine spirit.
Sun Chengyun is not stupid. No matter how bad Lao Shi is, he should not tell the specific bad things from his mouth.
"Back to Master Long Live, I was not at the house that day. I only heard afterwards that Master Ten lost his temper, took a horse whip in his hand, and knocked down a few household items. It was nothing serious."
Sun Chengyun's report almost made Liang Jiugong laugh. This guy was so good at avoiding the important and ignoring the important.
How could Liang Jiugong not understand?
The emperor was concerned about the actual conflict between Yu Zhu and Lao Shi. Sun Chengyun did not mention anything about Yu Zhu at all, but only told part of the truth about Lao Shi's rudeness.
However, Sun Chengyun did not lie and told the truth, which is very annoying.
"Hey, look, you can't come out. The person who is close to the ink is black." There was no emotion or anger on the emperor's face, but his words were very unpleasant.
Those who are close to ink are black, who is ink?
Yuzhu also!
Sun Chengyun kowtowed several times to apologize, but he was not afraid of the emperor's anger.
He has no real power, so he hangs around with the false title of Heshuo Fufu. Heshuo Fufu cannot be reduced.
If Heshuo's forehead was shaved off, wouldn't the Ninth Princess be extremely embarrassed?
Even if the first-class baron is cut off, well, as long as the jade pillar does not fall, are you still afraid that you will not be able to survive?
Not to mention anything else, just for the Lin family's big business, as long as they share an additional 20% of Sun Chengyun's net profit as a dividend, it will be more than enough to meet the Sun family's daily expenses.
Sun Chengyun clearly knew what the emperor wanted to know, but he just refused to say the word Yuzhu.
This bone is already extremely hard!
Kangxi was not Yongzheng. If it were Yongzheng, Sun Chengyun would have been unlucky.
"Kneel down." Kangxi calmed down and endured without getting angry.
Today was a good day for the ninth daughter of the emperor to come out. If it was not easy to deal with the situation, he drove Sun Chengyun away.
After Sun Chengyun left, Liang Jiugong took the initiative to come over to him without waiting for the emperor's call, and whispered: "Go back to Long Live Lord, why don't you call Yuzhu?"
Wei Zhu's eyes flashed slightly at the side. Liang Jiugong, this old guy, must have taken someone's money and deliberately tried to trick Yuzhu, right?
It is a common thing for the dignitaries outside the palace to provide money to support the eunuchs in the palace to vent their anger or to be evil!
"Wei Zhu." Kangxi did not summon Yuzhu immediately, but turned to look at Wei Zhu.
As an emperor who has been in power for many years, it is impossible for him to favor Liang Jiugong alone and have Wei Zhu to check and balance him.
On the side of the king, when different opinions are mixed up, the right path can be achieved.
Wei Zhu knew very well that the emperor was not angry at Yuzhu, but wanted to deal with the ninth elder brother.
Brother Ten, the idiot, follows Lao Ba all day long and is often used as a gunman by Lao Jiu.
Kangxi didn't like Lao Jiu, not only because Lao Jiu was particularly greedy for money, but more importantly, Lao Jiu didn't take any action himself, but specifically instigated Lao Shi, a idiot, to do bad things.
Lao Jiu never made mistakes openly, but he was disliked by Kangxi the most. The root cause was: Lao Jiu was too yin!
All the money used by Lao Ba to win over important ministers was provided by Lao Jiu. Almost all the reckless and bad things Lao Ten did were the bad ideas of Lao Ninth.
How could Kangxi not hate Lao Jiu?
After the second prince was deposed, Lao Jiu came up with many bad ideas and helped Lao Ba and Lao Si fight for the throne.
After the fourth elder brother came to the throne, the first brother to be tortured to death was Lao Jiu. It can be seen that the fourth brother also hated him very much.
Wei Zhu's heart was like a mirror, and the emperor had been waiting for the jade pillar to be broken and to impeach Lao Shi.
As long as the jade pillar is broken, the emperor can justifiably hit Lao Ten and take advantage of the situation to deal with Lao Jiu.
However, Yuzhu was too cunning and refused to offend Lao Ba even to death.
This is the source of the emperor's unhappiness!
Yuzhu is not stupid. The emperor still has extravagant hopes for the prince and has not completely given up.
The strategic pattern is: If the prince does not fall, it is impossible for the old man to fall!
"Long live my lord..." Wei Zhu accepted Yuzhu's big bribe and was about to scold Yuzhu severely and help Yuzhu soothe his cheeks.
But they saw one of Liang Jiugong's confidant eunuchs running in quickly with a secret folding box in his arms.
"Long live the Lord, Yuzhu, the censor of the clan, has gone to the secret fold."
Wei Zhu saw clearly that Kangxi was stunned for a moment, apparently not expecting that Yuzhu handed over the secret fold at this juncture.
After Wei Zhu helped open the folding box, he held the folded jade pillar in both hands and handed it to Kangxi.
Kangxi hesitated for a moment, but finally opened the secret fold, and saw familiar fonts in front of his eyes: Jiangnan Road Palm Seal Supervisory Censor and Clan Censor, Chen Yuzhu, played as the leader of the bodyguard, minister of internal affairs and minister of government, Aling'a, sold his official position and won the title, Zong
Slaves commit crimes, two or three illegal things..."
Well, Aling'a can be regarded as Lao Ba's key confidant.
Yuzhu impeached Aling'a, obviously not afraid of offending Lao Ba.
For a moment, Kangxi's doubts disappeared, but he cursed: "This gangster is so generous that anyone dares to impeach him. He is simply audacious."
Wei Zhu was so close that he could clearly see the words "Aling'a" without looking in.
He rolled his eyes slightly and felt that Yuzhu was really a wonderful person.
Lao Shi committed a crime, but instead of impeaching him, Yuzhu stabbed Concubine De's brother-in-law.
If you don’t think about it carefully, you simply don’t know the beauty of it!
No matter how stupid Lao Shi is, he is still my biological son.
If Yuzhu impeached Lao Shi for his rudeness and let Lao Shi be punished, wouldn't it tell the world that Lao Shi is a idiot?
Hey, it’s true that Lao Shi is an idiot. The problem is, who’s to blame if he’s raised or not educated?
Yuzhu's method is similar to that of Xu Jie who wants to kill Yan Shifan and must be labeled as a Japanese Tong. It has the same purpose but the same purpose!
Most of the bad things Yan Shifan did, except for his own enjoyment, were to take the blame for Jiajing.
If Xu Jie listed Yan Shifan's crimes, wouldn't he be calling Jiajing a jerk?
In that case, not only would Yan Shifan not be killed, but Xu Jie himself would fall in and die without a burial place.
Being taboo for the venerable is an essential survival skill in officialdom for smart people in all dynasties.
All the so-called upright officials who did not plan for the honor of their emperor and father were in trouble. For example, Hai Rui and Hai Qingtian cursed Jiajing: "Every family will be ruined."
With Jiajing's temper, it was a miracle that Hai Rui was not killed!
This trick played by Yuzhu is called: pointing at the mulberry tree and scolding the locust tree!
It was obviously Lao Shi's rudeness, but Yuzhu put the shit basin on Aling'a's head.
Alas, Wei Zhu understands the matter, and I admire him so much.
Kangxi's initial anger was mainly because he doubted Yuzhu and was afraid that Lao Ba was not a serious official.
Now, since Yuzhu has taken action against Aling'a, a key member of Laoba, the suspicion on him has disappeared in an instant.
With Kangxi's wisdom, as soon as he calmed down, he would naturally understand Yuzhu's rat-throwing weapon and his well-intentioned plan to enhance the reputation of his father.
Today is the ninth princess's happy day, so naturally it is not a good time for Kangxi to take action against Aling'a.
However, now that he had the secret information handed over by Yuzhu, Kangxi could attack Aling'a anytime and anywhere he wanted.
Whether Yuzhu delivers the secret fold or not is a matter of the pure minister's position. When Kangxi should perform surgery on Aling'a is a matter of assessing the situation.
