Kangxi had just finished his lunch and was sipping tea when he heard Liang Jiugong coming to report that Yuzhu had arrived outside Qianqing Palace.
"Oh, it's my first day in office, so there won't be much going on." Kangxi didn't realize that something had happened, so he just smiled...
"Long live my Lord, I seem to think that Yuzhu's complexion is not quite right." Liang Jiugong suffered a big loss last time, so naturally he had to find a way to get it back.
"Oh, you don't look right?" Kangxi suddenly darkened his face and said coldly, "There are too many worries."
Wei Zhu on the side just watched Liang Jiugong apply eye drops on Yuzhu, without any intention of intervening.
In front of the emperor, there is only one way to go if there is even the slightest sign of being related to Yuzhu. Wei Zhu is not stupid.
What's more, the emperor's uneasy words may have guessed something, right?
After Yuzhu entered the meditation room, he saluted and stood up, playing chess with the old emperor as usual, without mentioning Tokunaga who was being held at the gate of the palace.
After three games of Go, Yuzhu lost again shockingly. The old emperor felt very happy and asked him casually: "I heard from Liang Jiugong that you don't look very good?"
Yuzhu lowered his head, his eye circles turned red, but he held back his tears, looking very aggrieved.
Kangxi's good mood came to an end immediately. He asked Yuzhu in a deep voice: "What happened?"
"Old man, I just want to collect more money for the treasury. Some people dare to bully others. They contradicted me so much on the first day that I couldn't get off the stage." Yuzhu insisted on the four words "bullying".
Wei Zhu, who was guarding the door, nodded secretly. This kind of complaint method similar to that of Yuzhu can be called truly brilliant.
There are some fools who won't even file a complaint. They only focus on corruption and bribery, and insist on them, thinking that they are taking advantage of them.
These are all idiots!
Yuzhu did not mention corruption and bribery at all, but directly poked at the old emperor's most sensitive weakness.
The national treasury needs a lot of money, and someone dares to contradict Yuzhu in public on the first day and goes to help the old emperor get money. What is this if not bullying?
If you think about it more carefully, whose power is it relying on?
The prince on the left and the eighth master on the right must be inseparable from these two troubled sons!
After the capture of Nanny Ling Pu, Prince Yin Reng has been quiet recently.
Before Wei Zhuren left the palace, he could have guessed that Lao Ba's popularity must have soared and offended Yu Zhu to death.
As the saying goes, the great eunuch knows the affairs of the world without going out.
"You are an imperial envoy and have the royal flag. What are you afraid of?"
Kangxi's face looked very calm, but Liang Jiugong knew in his heart that this was obviously the brief calm before the storm.
"Back to Lord Long Live, I took off his turban and brought it with me, right outside the Donghua Gate." Yuzhu endured it for more than an hour before telling the truth.
Wei Zhu at the door nodded secretly. Yuzhu's complaint methods are really the best in Gaojiazhuang!
Although Yuzhu had suffered a lot of grievances, he played chess with Mr. Long live without any trace, allowing Mr. Long live to enjoy the rare leisure time after lunch. This is a great act of filial piety.
Many fools thought they had the right and came to complain without caring whether it ruined Jun's father's good mood.
That's typical. He only thinks about his own affairs and doesn't care about the emperor's life or death.
You don't take the emperor's good mood seriously, how can the emperor take your affairs to heart?
Stop dreaming!
"Liang Jiugong, go get the first memorial at the top of the red box." Kangxi showed no sign of anger at all, his face was as calm as water.
However, Wei Zhu wished she could hide her head in her waistband and act like a transparent person. The best thing would be to grow wings under her ribs and fly away quickly from this suffocating meditation room.
After Liang Jiugong went to get the memorial, Kangxi picked up the ink pen and without hesitation wrote a line of dazzling red letters on the memorial: "Seventh Brother Yinyou, hand Aling'ana to the Ministry of Punishment, and the crime will be seriously considered, and this is appreciated."
In fact, Lao Qi was called here very early, was given a sumptuous lunch by the emperor, and had been waiting to have tea in the Xinuang Pavilion next to the Qianqing Palace.
Wei Zhu came over and delivered the emperor's oral edict. When Lao Qi opened the edict and took a look, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Judging from the time, when Yuzhu handed over the bullet, there was at least more than two months between now and when he was transferred to the supervisor of Chongwenmen.
The emperor had been holding back until now before taking action against Aling'a. Obviously, he couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to beat Lao Ba.
Since Lao Qi was not in the Jingxin Zhai, it was naturally not clear that the emperor was taking his grievances against Lao Jiu on Aling'a's head.
In fact, it was spread on Lao Ba.
Others don't know it, but Wei Zhu knows it in his heart. Yuzhu is here to get money for Long Live Lord, but Lao Jiu is draining the court's financial base every day and doing his best to get money for Lao Ba.
All the money earned by Lao Jiu was used by Lao Ba to bribe ministers. Long live the Lord is not a fool, so how could he remain indifferent?
After Wei Zhu went back to deliver the order, the old emperor looked at the jade pillar standing upright and suddenly smiled and said: "I originally thought you would lose your temper and quit."
Yuzhu's eyes were red and he said: "We are serving as servants for the emperor and have been wronged. After we complain, it is over. When we should go back and continue working for you, we must continue as before. How can we lose our temper easily and give up the blame?"
Wei Zhu at the door was greatly impressed. How could he not be rewarded by the kind-hearted Lord Long Live for bearing such humiliation?
"Leave the pick?" Kangxi had never heard of this word, but with his profound knowledge, he understood it after careful consideration.
"Very good, you should be the pillar of the country." Kangxi held Yuzhu's hand for the first time in history, and after asking about Tokuyong's various unsightly behaviors, he immediately gave the order.
"Liang Jiugong, go ask Wu Jun to come in."
After Kangxi sent Liang Jiugong away, he asked Yuzhu to wash his face, tidy up his appearance, and tidy up his clothes.
After Yuzhu also went out, the emperor lowered his face and ordered Wei Zhu with a gloomy expression, "Go and check, who has he been in contact with recently?"
The old emperor didn't say clearly who he was checking, but Wei Zhu understood it clearly and saluted with a thousand salutes, "Hey." He went out to find someone to check Liang Jiugong.
After Wu Jun arrived, Kangxi ordered: "Draft an edict, award him with a jade pillar, give him a third-class Adaha ceremony, and reward him with a yellow mantle."
The third-class Adahahafan is also the third-class light chariot captain.
The first-class Adahahafan is of the third grade. The second and third-class Adahahafan are of the third grade.
He Shen and He Zhongtang were hereditary titles before they became famous.
"Yes." Wu Jun was also an old man. He didn't ask anything. He knelt down in front of the small case on one side, held a pen in his hand, and quickly drew up a draft of the edict.
Kangxi took it and looked at it. He couldn't help but smile slightly, picked up the ink pen and said: "Yes."
Wu Jun was Yuzhu's examiner, and since it was an edict of reward, how could Grand Scholar Wu not have more nice words for Yuzhu?
This is one of the benefits that Yuzhu always considers for the emperor!
Immediately afterwards, Wu Jun drafted another edict to punish Tokunaga: he would be stripped of his flag status, and his family would be handed over to an armored slave as a slave.
To be honest, removing the banner is a hundred times more serious than killing Tokunaga.
Being in the flag and not being in the flag, the treatment is completely different!
According to Manchu rules, even if Tokunaga is killed, his family members will still belong to their own bannermen.
However, once the banner status is removed, Tokunaga's children are no longer their own members of the banner.
Hey, when Wu Yu drafted the decree, he felt that the punishment was too severe. However, as a minister, you must draft it this way.
Just because kindness comes from above, no minister dares to show kindness without authorization. Since he doesn’t want to be Wang Mang, but he dares to show kindness, what is his motive?
This is actually an established practice.
For example, the collective crimes of the Three Law Divisions are always very serious, and they are either executed by beheading or hanging.
The memorial of a serious crime was handed over to the emperor, so that the emperor could extend extrajudicial favors.
If so, the charge was too light, how could the emperor have any room to be benevolent outside the law?
However, unexpectedly, after Kangxi read the draft of the punishment, he actually wrote a blood-red word "OK" with his pen.
Wu Jun understood immediately that the old emperor was really angry.
In his later years, Kangxi was indeed very soft-handed. Except for Suo'etu and his sons, the old emperor rarely killed people, let alone the extremely ruthless method of removing bannermen.
After Yuzhu washed his face and tidied his clothes and returned, Kangxi's edict had been sent out.
"Listen carefully, six hundred thousand taels, I'm waiting for your good news." Kangxi's attitude was amiable, as if he was joking with Yuzhu and making things up.
However, Yuzhu felt the bone-chilling chill, hey, it’s really Banhu!
Kangxi seemed to have rewarded Yuzhu with a title. In fact, he also pushed Yuzhu to the forefront, leaving no room for change between him and Lao Jiu.
Combined with Yuzhu's previous defeat of Lingpu, this is tantamount to forcing Yuzhu to have no choice but to surrender to the old emperor.
Thinking deeply, Yuzhu chopped Lao Ba on the left and the Crown Prince on the right. Who else could protect him except the old emperor?
Kangxi was certainly not a saint, but he was an extremely mature old politician.
If you are deceived by the so-called benevolent appearance, you will definitely suffer big losses in the future.
The prince was powerful, so Kangxi supported Lao Ba. After Lao Ba also became too powerful, Kangxi obviously wanted to support Yuzhu.
To put it bluntly, ordinary people are only qualified to be the emperor's eagle dogs. After such ordinary eagle dogs help bite people, they will soon become eagle meat or dog meat thrown out by the emperor.
However, regardless of his strong family background or his own ability, Yuzhu has the qualifications to make swords for a long time.
A sharp steel knife, not a hawk or a dog, cannot be easily discarded by the emperor. This is the biggest benefit that the Tong family brings to Yuzhu!
After walking out of Donghua Gate, Yuzhu happened to meet Wei Zhu who had finished delivering the order.
Wei Zhu did not dare to talk to Yuzhu, but just smiled, and then took the guards and captured Deyong, who was as limp as mud.
The wet streak dragged out from under Tokunaga's clothes was particularly eye-catching, and it was impossible not to attract attention!
Yuzhu couldn't help but secretly sigh, Deyong is still too shallow, he is full of losses and modesty benefits, you must not understand!
After Yuzhu returned to Chongwenmen in a sedan chair to supervise the Yamen, before others could sit down in the second hall, they heard an announcement from the door, "Your Majesty, Chief Liang from the palace has come to deliver the order."
The concierge is not an idiot. Instead of calling him "supervisor", he changed his name to "big master".
Yuzhu couldn't help but smile slightly. He made a plan for the old emperor with sympathy, playing chess with him first and then filing a complaint.
The old emperor was indeed a ferocious tiger that ate people without spitting out their bones, but he was also a tiger that cared about people. No, Liang Jiugong was sent to support Yuzhu that day.
