Chapter 119 Talking and laughing determines the outcome
In fact, even Elundai, who was sitting around drinking tea, could see that Tong Guowei was actually a forced choice.
If Yuzhu hadn't officially risen to prominence after the palace examination, why would Tong Guowei be willing to be this evil person?
"Amma, why are you doing this?" The boss Ye Keshu was really dissatisfied and wanted to struggle to the death.
Tong Guowei smiled coldly and said: "How long has it been since the princess died? Shun Anyan's concubine is pregnant. Hum, if I hadn't taken action in time to kill the disaster, your good son would have gone to Ninggu long ago.
The tower is getting cold."
Because he particularly doted on the Tong family, Kangxi married the fourth son Yinzhen's biological sister, Princess Heshuo Wenxian, to Shun Anyan, the eldest son of Ye Keshu.
Just two years later, when the 20-year-old Princess Heshuo Wenxian accompanied the Empress Dowager to Chengde, she actually suffered from heat stroke and died on the way.
Less than two months after the princess died, one of Heshuo's concubines, who was attached to Shun Anyan, became pregnant.
Hehe, during the period of mourning for the princess, he acted so arrogantly. Even if the emperor loved the Tong family, he would not be able to spare Shun Anyan.
To put it bluntly, banishing Ning Guta is considered a slight.
"Ah, Ama, it turns out you were the one who did it secretly?" Ye Keshu was shocked.
No wonder that concubine had one corpse and two lives. She was bleeding profusely and died miserably.
"Boss, your daughter-in-law used her power as housekeeper to secretly embezzle fifty thousand taels of silver from the father-in-law. Is it time for you to give me an explanation?"
Tong Guowei sighed secretly, Ye Keshu can still be an official, but he can't manage the family. He can't even control his wife's dirty hands. What's the use?
"This..." Ye Keshu didn't dare to speak.
De Kexin was still dissatisfied, stood up and said angrily: "Amma, the palms and backs of my hands are all your flesh, why should I favor one over the other?"
"Second brother, didn't I give you a chance? I gave you too much!" Tong Guowei picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said lightly, "That year, when Mulan was in autumn, you...
The first-class bodyguard was right next to Imagami's horse. A leopard rushed out of the diagonal stab, but you abandoned Jinshang and ran away yourself. In vain, you used the miraculous feat of escorting the driver to kill the leopard and took advantage of others."
"Hmph, if it weren't for my secret arrangement, would you be able to stand next to Jin Shang's horse?"
"Also, three years ago, Prince Yu passed away, and the emperor ordered you to cooperate with the fourth elder brother to attend the funeral. This was an excellent opportunity to perform meritorious service, but you were so drunk that you slept for eight hours before you could do anything.
Wake up. If it weren't for the fact that Brother Si, looking out for my face, gave you a free hand, huh, you would have no money to support the troupe now." Tong Guowei peeled off Dirk's new painting completely without being angry. Seeing Tong Guowei looking at him, Qingyuan waved his hands repeatedly, begging for mercy and said: "Amma, I didn't say anything."
Qingfu and his brothers, who didn't have a lot of shit on their butts? They lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look at Tong Guowei anymore.
Qingtai, the eighth child, met Tong Guowei's gaze calmly. He had no worries in his heart and was not afraid of Tong Guowei.
Qingtai's mother-in-law had an unusually humble status and died early. He had not enjoyed much fatherly love since he was a child, and he was not close to Tong Guowei.
When Qingtai grew up, he was supposed to join the officialdom by being selected as a third-class bodyguard, but Tong Guowei completely forgot about it.
There was nothing he could do, Qingtai held his breath and relied on his own hard work to pass the examination of the Ministry of War.
If Long Keduo hadn't put in a lot of effort and secretly helped Qingtai get in touch with the fifth elder brother, he wouldn't be in such power today.
Qingtai, who knew how to repay his kindness, was determined to give Yuzhu a hand and help him completely wash away his reputation as a bastard. Then he discussed with Longkodo to let Yuzhu have two bedrooms.
As long as Yuzhu becomes Qingtai's son, Longkodo's direct wife Xiao Hesheli will lose absolute control over Yuzhu.
To put it bluntly, in the case of two Ama and Enie, if the little Hesheli wants to take advantage of the huge advantage of his only aunt and destroy the jade pillar, another aunt, Guarjia, will come forward and spit on her.
Face full of spit.
Under the strict feudal etiquette, on the stage, the aunt, Xiao Hesheli, can really ruin Yuzhu's big event!
Qingtai took one step at a time and allowed Yuzhu to share two houses. This was tantamount to helping Yuzhu get rid of the huge threat of his aunt.
Tong Guowei sighed secretly. Among his eight sons, Qingtai was the least loved, followed by Longkodo.
However, Longkodo and Qingtai are the most promising.
What's even more troublesome is that among Tong Guowei's grandchildren, except for Yuzhu, no one can stand up.
There is no other way. In order for the family to continue to prosper, Tong Guowei has no choice but to help Yuzhu clean up the family.
Otherwise, if only Miaomiao's good bamboo shoots are bitten by a group of bad bamboo shoots, the entire Tong family will really become a low-class family that just eats and waits for death.
"Okay, let's all disperse. I'm tired too." Tong Guowei waved his hand and drove his sons away.
After going out, Elundai glanced at the dejected Ye Keshu and Deke Xin, deliberately smiled and said: "Our second uncle is really capable. This move has shocked the group of kids."
With Tong Guowei choosing sides, the general trend of their Tong family has been determined, and the rise of Sanfang is unstoppable!
However, the three brothers from Tong Guogang's group made the trouble even more fierce.
Erundai, a super gangster, was at loggerheads with his two younger brothers, Fahai and Kuadai.
Especially Fa Hai, because Orundai repeatedly insulted his biological mother in person as a cheap maid, he once publicly threatened to kill this bastard!
This animal refers to Orundai.
Orundai committed suicide, and later not only lost his life, but also gave up the first-class dukedom that he had invaded to his third brother Kuadai.
It is also very interesting to say that when Elundai was alive, he and his second brother Fahai were at odds with each other. After Elundai died, his fourth son Jielu actually adopted the title of heir to the childless Fahai. After returning, Yuzhu was a little worried, but the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother openly had a fight.
Later, Longkodo said that Dai Duo knelt on the ground, hugged Si Age's legs, and tried hard to persuade him.
Only then did the two princes and elder brothers not cause a big disturbance in front of Kangxi, openly robbing people.
For Yuzhu, who is proficient in modern industrial construction, the current affairs policy of the imperial examination should not be too easy.
Let’s talk about the important matter of building river embankments.
The Yellow River embankment is repaired every year and collapses every year.
From the beginning of the Shunzhi Dynasty to the present forty-five years of Kangxi, the imperial court has spent a total of hundreds of millions of taels of money on river control.
Objectively speaking, in addition to the fact that corrupt officials cut corners and make a lot of money, it is also closely related to the backwardness of river management concepts and technology.
In this era of river management, we only know how to block rivers, but not how to dredge them.
As a result, the Yellow River has become a hanging river due to soil erosion in the upper reaches, resulting in continuous siltation in the middle and lower reaches.
In a hanging river, the flood does not need to be very big to break down the earthen embankment and submerge tens of millions of hectares of farmland and countless grassroots people.
To put it bluntly, the Lord has grasped the jade pillar for flood control, and his knowledge of river management far exceeds that of any river official of the same era.
In a word, compared with eight-part essays, current affairs policy is Yuzhu’s real home field.
"Ding ding dong dong..." Lin Yan'er played the piano with concentration, and the beauty's back was pleasing to the eye.
Yuzhu was leaning on the thickly padded imperial concubine's couch, with a thin quilt draped over her abdomen, enjoying her woman's performance comfortably.
To be honest, Yuzhu has no artistic talent and doesn’t understand piano music very well.
However, Lin Yaner played very rhythmically, and Yuzhu was quite pleasant to listen to.
The edict regarding the imperial examination has been issued and is scheduled to be officially held on March 19.
The location of the imperial examination was originally outside Tiananmen Square, but later changed to outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Because the emperor personally presided over the palace examination, there were no examiners, only examiners.
Today, Wu Jun and Li Guangdi, the pro-Jiang scholars, and six ministers of the ministry, a total of eight people, will serve as the examiners for this palace examination.
There was only one policy-making test in the imperial examination, and the paper was handed in on the same day. With the Minister of Rites as the motivator, more than 20 people were sent from the Cabinet, Hanlin Academy, Zhanshifu, Guanglu Temple, Honglu Temple, etc. to receive the paper, seal the seal, and collect the palms.
Printing papers, filling in forms and other specific matters.
Tang Bing told Yuzhu that when entering the palace examination, only murder weapons would be searched, not examination tools.
As for the supplies needed for the exam, as long as they can be brought into the exam room, you can bring them with you.
You are no longer deposed, but if you continue to cheat in front of the emperor, aren't you committing suicide?
Since the founding of the Guo Dynasty, college examinations and rural examinations, especially rural examinations, have been the main battlefield for candidates to cheat.
So far, we have not caught a Gongshi who dared to cheat during the palace examination. If we did catch one, he would become famous all over the country in an instant!
Tang Bing especially reminded Yuzhu that outside the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the cold spring, the cold wind blew to the bone, and his hands were so frozen that he could not hold a pen steady. Therefore, a large cloak to keep out the cold and a large hand warmer are the most needed items.
.
As for food, hehe, there is no need to bring it.
Eat your own breakfast, drink as little water as possible, and don't drink liquid food such as porridge. At lunch, the emperor will give you snacks, so you can eat them openly.
At the palace examination site, there were also little eunuchs who were responsible for running errands and delivering hot tea to these emperor's disciples.
It’s just that if you really can’t hold it in any longer, it won’t be a good idea to show off.
The princes and ministers who will invigilate the examination will mark your paper with a seal.
This mark, my dear, is completely unrelated to being a first-class Jinshi and a second-class Jinshi. It can only be a third-class Jinshi!
It is really Yuzhu’s great happiness to have a senior academic teacher.
Otherwise, if he had immersed himself in studying behind closed doors, he would have fallen into a trap long ago. There is only one consequence: failure after repeated attempts!
On the second day of the birthday banquet, the old lady Tong Guowei handed the sign into the palace.
According to Longkodo, the old man Tong Guowei and Kangxi talked in secret for more than two hours. Kangxi retreated, and even Liang Jiugong, who was never absent, was kicked out of the Qianqing Palace.
Yuzhu couldn't help but smile when he thought of this, Tong Guowei is a sensible person!
Tong Guowei is already old. The next generation of the Tong Jia family will inevitably be led by Longkodo, and will be assisted by Qingtai, a powerful man.
However, these two pillars of the Tong family are both Yuzhu's Ama. This means that Yuzhu's position as the next generation helmsman has been established!
Therefore, Yuzhu didn't care at all about what Tong Guowei and Kangxi discussed in secret.
On the day of the birthday banquet, Yuzhu refused to accept the pamphlet given by Tong Guowei. The meaning was actually very obvious: he did not want to take over the big mess of old Tong's family.
