At the beginning of his life, Qin Xiangwen, the chief eunuch of Jingren Palace, rode a fast horse to Tongfu Hutong.
After Tong Guoding heard the news, he quickly led everyone to greet him outside the door.
After Qin Xiangwen dismounted, he frowned when he saw Tong Guoding standing at the front of the large team, but Yuzhu was nowhere to be seen.
"Old Master, your Majesty has something to tell the Prime Minister." Qin Xiang Wenming was very polite to Tong Guoding on the surface. In fact, what he meant was that the Empress only has jade pillars in her eyes, and you are nothing but a clown.
When Tong Guoding stood up, his face turned red with shame, and he was helpless.
Empress Jingren Palace is a member of the Tong family.
Back then, Tong Guowei forced his empress to be thrown into a pit of fire. Wasn't he trying to maintain his favor and gain power?
Accordingly, Empress Tong has been guarding the widow in the palace and supporting the appearance of the old Tong family.
The reward for this huge sacrifice is that the Tong family must contribute money and effort to support Empress Tong.
At the same time, Empress Tong naturally has the power of life and death over the Tong family.
To put it bluntly, as long as the imperial concubine of Jingren Palace tells the old emperor which member of the Tong family treats her badly, that unlucky guy will be imprisoned until death.
As the saying goes, it is not enough to succeed, but more than enough to fail!
Not to mention Tong Guoding who was across the room, even if Tong Guowei was still alive, he would never dare to make Empress Tong unhappy.
Qin Xiangwen didn't bother to pay attention to the pretentious Tong Guoding, and looked around the large team, trying to find Yu Zhu among them.
Yuzhu was unusually low-key today. He was not wearing a python suit. He was wearing an official uniform, and he didn't wear any feathers for his eyes.
However, Qin Xiangwen still quickly recognized Yuzhu.
The truth is actually very simple. The young man of the Tong family who has a ruby on his head must be the Prime Minister of the country!
Qin Xiangwen trotted all the way and rushed to the Yuzhu. He bowed respectfully and said loudly: "The chief eunuch of Jingren Palace, young Qin Xiangwen, please be in peace with the Prime Minister."
Yuzhu frowned, stared at Qin Xiangwen, and scolded sternly: "Xiao Qin, aren't you just fooling around? How can you go beyond your elders?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Xiangwen explained calmly: "When I returned to the Prime Minister's Kingdom, my Majesty specially told me that among all the brothers and nephews of the Tong family, you are the only one she can trust."
Yuzhu was speechless for a while, and felt a little strange in his heart. Was his aunt afraid that there would be no chaos in the house?
However, Yuzhu thought about it carefully and immediately understood his uncle's intention of doing this.
If Empress Jingren and the Tong family were all of the same mind, the suspicious old emperor would definitely be overly concerned again.
Ever since Yuzhu took over the supervision of Chongwen Sect, all kinds of worship services in Jingren Palace have been handled by Yuzhu.
The old emperor had known for a long time that Empress Tong and Yu Zhu had a deep relationship.
In other words, no matter how much Empress Tong praises the jade pillar, she doesn't need to worry about the old emperor's other opinions.
Although I understand, Yuzhu still doesn't agree with her aunt's father's approach.
"Xiao Qin, I am a junior and I only listen to the instructions of my elders."
The etiquette system of the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules is the most basic concept that maintains the integrity of the imperial power, and no one is allowed to openly provoke it.
The ruler and his ministers, father and son and relatives and elders, are in order of superiority and inferiority!
If Yuzhu treats his cousin, biological father, uncles and uncles as if they are nothing.
Once the news spreads, it would, secondarily, ruin the reputation, but also shake the old emperor's basic trust in him.
No matter how Qin Xiangwen said things, Yuzhu refused to stand at the front and take charge of the overall situation.
As the saying goes, being humble is a blessing, but humility is a blessing. It is a blessing to be low-key, so you must observe it!
Qin Xiangwen couldn't resist Yuzhu, so he had to convey Empress Tong's meaning loudly in public.
"The imperial concubine's decree is passed down to anyone who dares to disturb the people, and they will not be spared lightly!"
According to the rules of the Qing dynasty, the decree of the empress dowager or empress is called Yi decree.
Later, the imperial concubine, who had the title of taking over the sixth palace, had the same position as the deputy empress, and her decree was called the imperial edict.
As for the women in the inner palace such as concubines, concubines, concubines, nobles, etc., they are essentially concubines or concubines of the royal family and have no qualifications to formally issue decrees to foreign ministers.
Concubines are often associated together. However, concubines and concubines are not the same thing.
In the Qing Dynasty, concubines had a much higher status than concubines.
For example, the women in the fourth class are divided into many levels.
In the Prince Yong's Mansion, the direct descendant of the Uranala clan of the Fujin Dynasty was naturally the leading hostess.
Secondly, there is the Jinnian clan of Xiefuxing.
Please note that Xi Fujin is not a concubine, but the legitimate half-mistress of the palace.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Fu Jin was able to obtain the imperial decree was to check and balance the huge power of his direct descendant Fujin in the backyard.
The role of the imperial concubine is roughly equivalent to that of Fu Jin in the palace.
However, the royal family is more respectable. While the queen is still alive, there will be no imperial concubine.
As for Xiao Xuanyu's real mother-in-law, Song Gege, her status in the fourth son's house was far inferior to that of a concubine.
Objectively speaking, Song Gege's status is only slightly higher than that of the eldest girl who is the fourth child's first wife.
If we have to make an analogy, Song Gege is similar to the lowest Chang Zai in the palace.
In some well-known TV dramas, the following funny scene often appears: a certain eunuch arrogantly announces the imperial concubine Yi's decree.
Alas, one of the most serious transgressions, you know?
History consultant, it’s time for a spanking!
Qin Xiangwen took advantage of the excitement and came back, but he had to go back in despair. He got on his horse obediently and walked away in a gray manner.
Yuzhu's performance was very good, and Tong Guoding also recovered a lot of blood. He twitched his beard and smiled, and praised Yuzhu lavishly towards Longkodo.
"Zhujun, I really envy you. Alas, you gave birth to a good son!"
Unexpectedly, Longkodo said: "To be honest, Qike, if I were him, I would definitely come out to take charge of the overall situation."
At first glance, this doesn’t sound like much. But if you taste it carefully, it’s a bad dish!
Alas, Longkodo’s arrogance is simply outrageous!
Tong Guoding's expression immediately changed, but he did not dare to explode in public.
As we all know, whoever dares to make Longko more anxious would dare to disown his relatives!
Even if Tong Guoding was angry again, he would have to endure this bad breath.
As the old saying goes, if you have no desires, you must be strong! If you want something, you must bend down!
The situation is stronger than the person. Who knows that Tong Guoding is already an idle man with no official position and a light body?
Tong Guoding really dared to fall out with Long Keduo. Do the descendants of his line have any future?
Others only saw Long Laosan's domineering and arrogant attitude, but Yuzhu nodded secretly, feeling wise in his heart.
Based on Longkodo's performance, it is definitely not a coincidence that he was the one to read the old emperor's succession edict in history.
To be honest, Longkodo's understanding of the old emperor's thoughts was as good as a jade pillar.
It's a pity that Longkodo only understood the old emperor's temper, but he didn't see through the fourth son's character.
Laoba Qingtai, like an outsider, watched the show with great ease.
Well, Yuzhu is a good person, and Long Keduo is a bad person. These two guys, one red and one black, sing a double yellow song!
