According to the rules of Changchun Garden, all second-grade officials are introduced by the imperial minister.
Zhao Hongxie was a Zhili governor with the title of governor, and became a first-level governor. Now it was Yuzhu's turn to take action personally.
After Zhao Hongxie entered Qingxi Bookstore, Yuzhu led him to the old emperor's study room.
After entering the door, Zhang Hongxu looked at Yuzhu subconsciously. Seeing that Yuzhu didn't say anything, he led Zhao Hongxie to kneel on the gold brick five and a half feet away from the Kang table.
"Your Majesty, I am brought to you by Zhao, the governor of Zhili." Yuzhu took the lead in making the introduction. The old emperor nodded, his eyes still fixed on the folding paper.
"I have the title of governor-general and governor of Zhili Province. Your Majesty Zhao Hongxie, I would like to extend my sincere greetings to you." Zhao Hongxie knelt down and kowtowed three times in a row.
As soon as he kowtowed, Yuzhu noticed something fishy.
Because Zhao Hongxie kowtowed without making any sound.
Logically speaking, when ministers meet the old emperor, the louder they kowtow, the more loyal they appear.
On the contrary, if there is no movement when kowtowing, it means that you are just perfunctory without using any force at all.
If you even refuse to kowtow to the old emperor, how can you expect to do anything else?
The eunuchs are wilted and bad, this is the logic.
Not only that, Yuzhu also discovered that Zhang Hongxu "forgot" to put up the kneeling mat.
As we all know, the spring water from Yuquan Mountain surrounds Changchun Garden.
As a result, the gold bricks laid on the ground will be very moist. If you kneel for a long time, your knee joints will suffer.
Not to mention others, Lao Shisan's knees were damaged intentionally by the eunuchs who did not provide kneeling pads.
However, even the emperor's own son had no choice but to suffer the consequences of being dumb!
These useless eunuchs have a very perverted mentality. Not only do they only care about money, but they also hold grudges.
The old emperor pondered for a long time without saying a word, and the room immediately became cold.
Yuzhu was very familiar with the little tricks of the old emperor. Hey, Zhang Hongxu's plot by that dog eunuch obviously worked.
Although his ministers touted the old emperor as a holy king every day, in fact, due to years of listening to lies that went against his will, the old emperor's discernment had seriously deteriorated.
To put it bluntly, the old emperor believed some lies that seemed false at first glance.
This is the serious consequence of the information cocoon room.
The fundamental problem is that although the old emperor has supreme imperial power, the bureaucrats below control the information basis for decision-making.
The information handed over by the bureaucrats was all false. How could the old emperor make the most correct decision?
During the First Japanese War, the Manchu clan ministers worked together to deceive Emperor Daoguang.
The Qing army led by Jingni General Yishan was defeated again and again, and was forced to accept the British request. Without telling the court, a truce agreement was reached privately, namely the "Guangzhou Peace Treaty".
The main contents of the "Guangzhou Peace Treaty" include: the provincial troops led by Yishan and other Qing generals retreated 60 miles away from Guangzhou City; 6 million silver dollars were delivered to the British within 7 days; after the silver dollars were delivered, the British troops withdrew outside Humen and crossed the border.
The military fortresses along the Yangtze River were also returned to the Qing army; the Qing government compensated for the losses of the British commercial building and the Spanish galleon Mibayinu.
However, in Yishan's excerpt to Daoguang, not only did he not mention the "Guangzhou Peace Treaty" at all, but he turned defeat into victory and boasted of a great victory, which made the British tremble with fear.
Emperor Daoguang really believed Yishan’s lies!
When the old emperor was young, he did have the air of a wise king in a small peasant society.
However, the old emperor has actually held power for more than fifty years since he took charge.
The longer this person stays in power, the easier it is for him to forget everything and become dizzy.
This rule is completely suitable for Kang Mazi.
To put it bluntly, Zhao Hongxie did not kowtow, which made the old emperor feel very uncomfortable.
Yuzhu glanced at Zhang Hongxu, who was bowing his head. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly, he thought with his feet.
I also imagine that this eggless guy must be extremely proud of himself.
Zhao Hongxie had been the governor of Zhili for more than ten years and had always been trusted by the old emperor. However, the old emperor was unhappy when he just kowtowed silently.
It is conceivable that the eunuchs around the old emperor really understood his temper.
From beginning to end, Zhang Hongxu didn't say a word, let alone say anything bad about Zhao Hongxie.
However, after some quiet and coquettish manipulations, Zhao Hongxie was devastated!
Under the unrestricted imperial power, the closer you are to the old emperor and the better you understand the old emperor's temper, the more practical influence you have.
Zhao Hongxie and Yuzhu have nothing to do with each other, and there is no reason why Yuzhu offended Zhang Hongxu in vain to help him out of trouble.
Besides, the governor of Zhili, who has the title of governor, controls nearly 100,000 green troops on the ground in Zhili, and his identity is extremely sensitive.
【In view of the general environment,
Even if Zhao Hongxie wanted to make acquaintance with Yuzhu in private, Yuzhu would not be able to ignore him.
In other words, if you couldn't bear it and spoke for Zhao Hongxie, you would arouse the old emperor's suspicion.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so Zhao Hongxie can only seek blessings for himself!
Seeing that Yuzhu had been refusing to help Zhao Hongxie, Zhang Hongxu was secretly grateful.
Others don't know Zhang Hongxu's little tricks, how could Yuzhu not know?
However, Yuzhu knew it and deliberately pretended to be ignorant, which made Zhang Hongxu deeply feel that Lord Xiangguo was quite humane!
As the saying goes, the elbows are always turned inward, so why should they be turned outwards?
Helping relatives but not children, helping acquaintances but not students, are the serious principles of life!
Yuzhu refused to say anything, and Zhang Hongxu was even less likely to remind Zhao Hongxie. The temperature in the study instantly dropped to below freezing point.
Zhao Hongxie deserved his misfortune. He was so anxious that he took the initiative and said: "I am guilty, please punish me severely."
Good guy, Zhang Hongxu finally caught a good opportunity to attack the maggots, and immediately shouted: "Bold maniac! When you play the right game, long live the Lord without asking, if you speak without permission, it is disrespectful!"
"Oh, that's all, let's kneel down." The old emperor waved his hand and didn't want to talk about serious matters anymore, so he just sent Zhao Hongxie away.
Zhao Hongxie walked away in a hurry, and Yuzhu wanted to leave too.
Unexpectedly, the old emperor stopped him and said, "Yuzhu, go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs in person and let them discuss it and draw up a list of the new governor of Zhili. Please hand over the brochure and take a look."
"Hey." Yuzhu quickly agreed and walked out backwards.
Zhang Hongxu had been standing guard by the door. When he saw Yuzhu coming out, he took the initiative to come over and followed Yuzhu's steps. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Jianxian handles big things."
Yuzhu was an insider, and he understood as soon as he heard that his aunt's father's sudden permission to visit the family was probably another temptation from the old emperor.
The eunuch who has no eggs is indeed mentally abnormal, but he must also be humane and sophisticated.
To be honest, because Yuzhu himself is very powerful, even if Zhang Hongxu doesn't want to admit that he owes a favor, he still has to weigh it carefully. Can he bear the serious consequences of offending Yuzhu?
As the saying goes, only those with strength and many friends can have many paths.
People who have no strength, no matter how hard they try to make friends, will basically gain something from chilling to even chilling!
