On the last night before the royal concubine's wedding, everyone in Lao Tong's family worked all night long to make preparations.
To be honest, Yuzhu was not very enthusiastic about his aunt's father's visit to the family.
The old emperor obviously wanted to take advantage of the imperial concubine's support, so he looked coldly at the performance of the old Tong family.
The more grand things were done, the more taboo the old emperor became.
As the old emperor grew older, he must have been carefully observing the candidates for his lone and important ministers.
The old emperor in history had only one prince and two ministers around him before his death in Changchun Garden, namely: Laosi, Longkoduo and Zhang Tingyu.
Among them, the one who read the edict was none other than Longkodo.
I used to often visit the jade pillars in the Forbidden City, and I still have fresh memories of the old emperor’s edicts.
Prince Yong and the fourth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, are of noble character and deeply respected by me. They will be able to inherit the throne and succeed me to the throne and succeed to the throne of the emperor.
In the old TV series, it was Longkodo who read the edict.
Now, it’s hard to say who read the edict!
Yuzhu was a little distracted, but Elundai took the initiative to come to his side and said with a smile: "Good nephew, I really want to thank you this time."
Orundai had four sons, among whom the eldest son Buxi inherited the rank of Cavalry Commander plus Yun Cavalry Commander.
The second son, Jiefu, was quite knowledgeable and had reached the position of a fourth-grade Taoist priest by his own ability.
Elundai did not need to worry about the future of these two sons.
The third son Jiede and the fourth son Jielu were the ones that Orundai was really worried about.
Originally, Elundai had already worked secretly and helped Jiede find a good position.
However, not long ago, Orundai got into trouble again. He actually publicly insulted Ma Qi, the great scholar, as a wallflower.
The old emperor was very angry, so there was nothing more to come of the good position that Jie De had almost obtained.
When Lao Tong's family was having housework, Elundai took the initiative to side with Yuzhu in order to ask Yuzhu to help solve the problem of Jie De's official position.
Jiede was a few years older than Yuzhu, and he was also a serious next-door cousin, so Yuzhu knew him quite a bit.
How should I put it, Jie De is not a bad person.
There are no great evils in virtue except wandering around, eating, drinking, gambling, and doing nothing.
To be honest, in the capital city these days, there are almost everywhere the bad guys who are cheating and kidnapping, especially the dudes from the Manchurian Banner family.
The old emperor was angry, and Yuzhu's approach was also very clever.
Yuzhu made an exchange of interests with Lao Twelve. He found a way to let Lao Twelve's concubine's younger brother get the extremely rare Zhili exclusive salt.
As for Lao Twelve, he supported Jiede on his behalf.
The reason is also fair and honest, he knows the rules and is good at eating.
In the Qing Dynasty, being good at eating banquets was definitely a skill that you could excel at!
Anyway, as long as the exchange of interests is in place, no matter how you promote, it will be reasonable.
As the old saying goes, if you can do it, you can do it, and if you don’t, you can do it!
Under Yuzhu's management, Jiede transformed into a professional banquet director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Of course Elundai knew what Jiede was like, so he was particularly grateful to Yuzhu.
Yuzhu said with a smile: "Uncle, there is a Jielu down there. It would be better for you to avoid making the emperor angry."
Longkodo's arrogance depends on people, and he will choose to remain silent even if he can't offend anyone.
Orundai is different. He is really arrogant and does whatever he wants.
"Hey, good nephew, don't worry. If your uncle and second uncle dare to cause trouble, I will definitely help you vent your anger." Elundai patted his chest angrily.
Well, the deal is done. Yuzhu was waiting for this statement from Elundai!
Unlike Yue Xing'a, his elder brother, Yuzhu's eldest uncle Ye Keshu and second uncle De Kexin are elders after all.
Even though Yuzhu had thousands of ways to easily torment them, he still had some scruples.
As a first-class public servant, Orundai takes the lead in taking care of things. This is different!
While eating supper, Tong Guoding suddenly put down his chopsticks and turned to ask Yuzhu: "Are you so busy?"
Yuzhu knew in his heart that Longkodo treasured his little half-brother. Even if he had to pick him up tomorrow, he would go back to live outside tonight.
In fact, the same was true back then when Long Keduo doted on Li Si'er and Yuzhu.
How should I put it, Longkodo is indeed extremely greedy, but he is also an emotional guy.
It was also a coincidence that during this precious period of time from before becoming a Jinshi in Yuzhu to after he truly rose to prominence, Longkodo had always loved Li Si'er the most.
Now, Li Si'er is older and has grown older, and Longkodo's transference to another relationship is actually quite normal.
The existence of the half-brother has no influence on the inheritance rights of Yuzhu and Bajiu's family business.
At most, it's just that Long Keduo will give more of the dirty money he made outside to his younger brother.
Ever since the Universal Bank's banknotes were exchanged all over the world, money is really just a number to Yuzhu.
It's quite interesting to say.
Kang Mazi has always been very tight-lipped about the traditional salt industry for fear of losing financial revenue.
However, the old emperor never imagined that opening a bank would be the most profitable and most blood-sucking super business.
During the Qing Dynasty, both banks and bank accounts were in a state of barbaric growth.
Except for contracts signed between merchants, the imperial court did not formulate any binding regulations on the financial industry such as deposits and loans.
Can you imagine that in the Kangxi Dynasty, when merchants deposited money into bank accounts, they not only received no interest, but also had to pay storage fees.
As for remitting money from the capital to Hangzhou, the exchange fee alone easily exceeds 15%.
In this era, apart from Yuzhu, whose hands and eyes are as bright as the sky, whose silver car transported on the road has not been robbed?
In a word, Yuzhu's monopoly business Huitong Tianxia has unknowingly transformed into one of the most vicious enemies of the imperial court.
"Ancestor, my Ama will patrol the night with soldiers. If you have something to do, ask your grandson to take care of it. It's the same thing." Yuzhu knew very well that Tong Guoding was going to make a request again.
Sure enough, Tong Guoding was waiting for Yu Zhu's words. He pondered for a moment and said hesitantly: "I heard that there is a vacancy in the Bujun Yamen?"
Yuzhu understood immediately after hearing this that Tong Guoding wanted to use his mouth to place his family members in the Bujun Yamen.
"Old ancestors, the Infantry Army Yamen is not a trivial matter. I, Amma, have never dared to arrange for members of the Tong family to serve as errands." Yuzhu told the truth and also set up a shield.
Anyone who understands well knows that it is easy to alarm the old emperor by stuffing his relatives into the infantry yamen.
Tong Guoding's routine is obviously to first make an almost impossible request, and then settle for the next best thing.
As expected, Yuzhu was not disappointed, and Tong Guoding soon exposed his true purpose.
"Zhuer, are there still a few pen stickers missing in the south study room?" Tong Guoding stared at Yuzhu intently.
Yuzhu couldn't refuse face to face, so he said: "To be honest, ancestors, as long as you are not a relative of our family, you won't be too sensitive about the lack of the south study room." The door was almost closed, leaving only a gap.
