While the servants were busy setting up the incense table, Yuzhu came out and met Zhang Tingyu.
"Hengchen, thank you for your hard work." Yuzhu looked very affectionate.
In fact, in the later years of Kangxi, the most important officials were Yuzhu and Longkodo.
As for the Han officials, the old emperor must have trusted Zhang Tingyu the most.
In official circles, seniority is definitely important.
Yuzhu and Zhang Tingyu entered the South Study almost one after the other.
From then on, Yuzhu was Zhang Tingyu's old boss.
Even now, Zhang Tingyu is the Minister of Rites, but he is still much shorter than Yuzhu.
Call Hengchen in person, Yuzhu has the qualifications!
Zhang Tingyu has always been a non-stick person, and over the years, as he was often by the Emperor's side, he had long developed the good habit of keeping his emotions and anger a secret.
"Zhongtang, the emperor has an oral order." Zhang Tingyu didn't want to get close to Yuzhu at all. He directly used the old emperor's oral order to reject Yuzhu thousands of miles away.
"The emperor's decree was spoken by Yuzhu, and his uncle Tong Guowei received the order together." Zhang Tingyu passed on the old emperor's words in front of Yuzhu.
Yuzhu knew immediately upon hearing this that if he followed the old emperor's wishes, he would definitely be criticized by thousands of people.
However, the old emperor used scheming, and no matter how reluctant Yuzhu was, he had to fall into the old emperor's trap.
However, Yuzhu played a trick and sent people to Longkodo to ask him to invite Tong Guowei to come to the mansion to receive the order.
It was Wu Jiang who sent the message in the past, and Longko knew that Wu Jiang was one of the most trusted stewards around Yu Zhu.
Yuzhu had tea with Zhang Tingyu for two hours, and Tong Guowei was finally invited by Longkodo.
"Yuzhu, Tong Guowei, Longkoduo took the order." Zhang Tingyu followed the old emperor's instructions and deliberately let Yuzhu surpass his grandfather and father and take the first position in the Tong family.
After the Tong family members knelt down one by one, Zhang Tingyu faced the gate, with his back to the incense table, and said in a deep voice, "The cabinet has issued an order, appointing Song Zhu, a scholar of Wenhua Palace, as the chief envoy, and Zhang Tingyu, the minister of rites, as the deputy envoy."
On the eighth day of the next month, when you choose an auspicious time, hold the festival, and seal the book, the Jin Dynasty will confer the imperial concubine Tong Jia as the imperial concubine."
Logically speaking, after Zhang Tingyu finished reciting this decree and informed the good news, it was considered finished.
However, in accordance with the old emperor's private instructions, Zhang Tingyu read out the imperial concubine's imperial concubine in front of the Tong family.
"I am the orchid boudoir who teaches me. I sing the emblem of the nine emperors. I support Qin in the Jiao Palace. I offer my cocoon to protect the six palaces. I am allowed to increase my glory in Zhai Fu. I should be favored by Luan Zhang. I am your noble concubine Tong Jia, Cui.
The quality is very clear, the fragrance is long-lasting, the appearance is decorated with a huang, and the husband's rituals have been carried out for a long time. The scarf is pleasing to the eye, and the Jin Dynasty has made you the imperial concubine.
Mao Zhi has long been blessed. Ke praises the transformation of Zi Ting. Qin Zai."
"My son, the jade pillar, bows down to thank Khan and Ama for his grace."
"Slave Tong Guowei, please accept the order and thank me."
"Slave Longkodo, please accept the order and thank me."
The news spread throughout the Long Mansion in an instant. It is no exaggeration to say that this moment is definitely the highlight moment of the old Tong family.
Before the little Concubine Tong, the eldest Concubine Tong, the adoptive mother of the fourth child, was promoted to the queen by the old emperor the day before her death.
After all, Emperor Tong's imperial concubine was the direct cousin of the old emperor. She was granted the title of concubine before his death, but it was just a consolation prize.
The old emperor, who had lost three main empresses in a row, felt very unlucky and made it clear in public that he would never establish a queen again.
There was no queen in the palace, but little Concubine Tong was promoted to Imperial Concubine. This was obviously the old emperor's special care for the old Tong family.
The imperial concubine has the same position as the deputy concubine. Under normal circumstances, when there is a queen, a creature like the imperial concubine cannot appear in the palace.
The reason is actually very simple. The scope of authority of the imperial concubine almost overlaps with that of the queen.
Having an imperial concubine under the Queen means pointing at the Queen's nose and scolding her for her inability to control the Sixth Palace.
Obviously, this is a plan to force the queen to death.
"Qing Dynasty Huidian·Yu Fu Zhi 3": The imperial concubine's gold treasure, Chinese and Chinese, jade seal, squatting dragon button, platform, four inches square, one inch and two cents thick.
The Chinese language here refers to the Manchu language. There was no way around it. In the Qing Dynasty, a Manchu was the emperor, and the Manchu language, which was full of loopholes, naturally became the Chinese language.
According to the system, the imperial concubine of this dynasty sits above the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine sits above the imperial concubine. In the canonization ceremony, the imperial concubine uses a book of treasures, and the imperial concubine uses a book of seals.
Zhang Tingyu only drank half a cup of tea, then hurried away on the pretext of going back to Changchun Garden to deliver the order.
Tong Guowei gently twirled his white beard under his chin, looked at Zhang Tingyu's hurried away figure, and said with a smile: "What a good son Zhang Ying taught!"
Longkodo was a typical martial artist with little education. He glared and muttered dissatisfied: "Ama, you old man, you don't praise your direct grandson, but you praise Ying's son. It's simply too much." Disappointing."
Tong Guowei stared at Longkodo coldly and said angrily: "I, Tong Jia, originally had one family and two queens, but now I have an extra queen. Do you really think it is a good thing?"
Longkodo has never followed Tong Guowei's rules since he was a child. He has always had his own way of doing things and dared to criticize anyone when he didn't like him.
Now, his own son Yuzhu is extremely ambitious and shining brightly, and Longkodo will not be confused about his father Tong Guowei.
"Amma, please forgive me, your son, for saying something unpleasant. If you hadn't been thinking about the grand scene of one sect and three empresses, how could you push your sister into that pit of fire that eats people without spitting out bones?" When Longko was in trouble, he always spoke freely and dared to say anything.
There was no way around it. In the Kangxi Dynasty, due to the old emperor's preference, the old Tong family had many miscreants.
In the front, there was Tong Guogang, who shouted in public that he wanted to kill his son, and in the back, there was Elundai, who openly contradicted the old emperor in front of everyone, and was not afraid of death at all.
In addition, Longkodo, who is deeply favored, has a large number of troops at his disposal, and is extremely arrogant and domineering, is a relative of the most wealthy family in the Xi Dynasty. Who else can be compared with Lao Tong's family?
The current Lao Tong family, thanks to the strong blessing of Yuzhu, is far more powerful than the most glorious heyday in history.
"Zhuer, what do you think?" Tong Guowei couldn't defeat Longkodo, so he simply didn't bother to pay attention to his son, but pointed the finger at his grandson.
Yuzhu sighed and said in a low voice: "Mafa, Ama, to be honest with you, my uncle's body has not been very healthy recently."
The people present were all super human beings. With a little nudge from Yuzhu, Longkoduo suddenly realized that his bad cousin wanted to do a favor again!
The last time, Longkodo's biological sister, Imperial Concubine Da Tong, was promoted to queen, exactly the day before her death.
This time, by coincidence, Longkodo's concubine, Xiao Guifei Tong, was canonized as the imperial concubine when she was seriously ill.
After Tong Guowei came to his senses, he said bitterly: "It's so heartless. How can you treat your cousin like this?"
The Tong family dared to talk nonsense without fear of losing their heads, but they were led astray by Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei.
Longkoduo glared and complained: "Ama, aren't you feeling guilty when you say this? You feel your heart and taste it for yourself. Do people really regard your daughter as a cousin?"
Yuzhu glanced around and saw that everyone around him was his trusted servants, so he didn't pay much attention.
