"Slave Tong Liu, please be safe with the third master, the third wife and the second master Yu."
Tong Liu's "Third Wife" is actually a nonsense out of conscience.
However, even Longkodo's legitimate wife, Hesheli, is still alive and kicking. Once here, if Tong Liu dares not to call her "Third Wife", then he will be waiting for his legs to be broken.
Longkodo was so angry that he even dared to beat his own father, Tong Guowei, in front of the emperor.
Unless Tong Liu is tired of life, even if he borrows eighty courages, he will never dare to call Li Si'er Aunt Li.
"Tell me, what did the old man ask you to do?" Longkodo didn't ask Tong Liu to get up, but directly asked him the reason for his visit.
"Go back to the third master. The old master said that our banner family should not be reunited during the New Year. No, I sent a servant to invite the third master, the third wife and the second master Yu to return to the ancestral home for a reunion." Tong Liu really doesn't want to go through this life, but who calls him Tong Guowei's Aha?
Aha is the unlucky guy who takes the blame at the critical moment!
"Okay, I understand, you can go back." Longkoduo coldly gave the eviction order and ignored Tong Liu's message at all.
Tong Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was lucky that Long Laosan didn't ask anyone to beat him.
Yuzhu has been drinking tea quietly without any intention of talking.
It was so late that Tong Guowei sent Tong Liu to invite them back to their ancestral home. It was obviously an olive branch without sincerity.
What Long Ke wants more is to take Li Si'er, mother and son, back to the Tong family's ancestral home in glory, instead of sneaking around like thieves.
Tong Guowei is already old, while Longkodo is still in his prime and still holds huge real power. Time is completely on Longkodo's side.
Are you sneaking back home in the middle of the night for fear of letting outsiders know?
What's more important is that Yuzhu has already passed high school and is about to become an extremely valuable Manchu scholar, and may even be an unprecedented Manchu champion.
To put it bluntly, Yuzhu’s position as the number one person in the third generation of the old Tong family is already unbreakable!
On the eve of Yuzhu's rise, Tong Guowei will give him less face today. In the future, Yuzhu will take care of the cousins of the old Tong family less.
The reason why it is nine points is because internal fighting among one's own people is often easier to get jealous than competition between outsiders!
The logic is very simple.
After Li Shimin seized the throne from the Xuanwu Sect, he killed all the sons of his elder brother Li Jiancheng and younger brother Li Yuanji, just to eradicate the problem.
It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. The choice Tong Guowei faces is really difficult!
After all, Longkodo’s legitimate wife, Little Hesheli, is still alive, and his eldest son, Yue Xing’a, has also married.
However, Yuzhu didn't care at all about Tong Guowei's difficulties and didn't want to deal with it.
To put it bluntly, if Li Si'er hadn't been returning to the Tong family's ancestral home with the scenery in mind, their family of four would have been living outside like this, which was actually very comfortable.
Longkodo has holy favor and real power. When Tong Guowei dies, the first-class Duke Chengen will definitely be in his possession, Long Laosan!
Besides, the ancestral home of the old Tong family is full of dirty and smelly junk. As long as Yuzhu takes over, he will definitely help wipe the butt endlessly.
Not long ago, Yue Xing'a relied on Longkodo's power to not only seize a shop in a good location, but also broke the owner's leg. This is so evil!
How do you ask Yuzhu to take care of this kind of nonsense? Can you handle it?
Of course, there is something about Tong Guowei that Yu Zhu is interested in.
Yuzhu's great-grandfather, Tong Tulai, was the flag owner of the Zhenglan Banner Han Army. Tong Guowei, until now, is still the flag owner of the Zhenglan Banner Han Army.
The flag owner is the slave owner.
If Yuzhu controls the actual power of the Zhenglan Banner Han Army, he will have at least two thousand more soldiers and horses on hand. Hehe, when the mountains collapse, he will be more certain of winning.
Yuzhu is a super pragmatic guy. In his eyes, these seemingly powerful positions, such as the cabinet bachelor and the minister of the south study room, are just nonsense.
The handle of the knife that can be held in the palm of one's hand is the decisive force that can change one's destiny and even change the color of the country!
Tong Liu left in despair. Li Si'er's mood was not greatly negatively affected, and he was still smiling.
At three o'clock in the morning, after the morning bell rang, the night ban in Sijiu City officially ended.
After staying up all night, Longkodo couldn't go to bed. Instead, he changed into formal court clothes and rode to queue outside Shenwu Gate, waiting to be handed a sign to enter the palace to congratulate the emperor on the New Year.
On the first day of the New Year, important court officials of the fourth rank and above, as well as foreign wives of the fourth rank and above, all go to the palace to pay their respects.
The so-called waifu specifically refers to those with the rank of fourth-rank minister and above, and the direct wives of ministers with official titles!
Among them, the courtiers naturally went to kowtow in front of the Qianqing Palace, while the married women went to congratulate the Empress Dowager on the New Year.
During the Qianlong Dynasty, the wife of the emperor's brother-in-law Fu Heng, the flowery Yehenala, wanted to change her clothes temporarily after greeting the empress dowager. As a result, Qianlong, who was interested in seeing her, blocked her in the side hall and asked her to change her clothes.
.
Qianlong was really shameless. Perhaps because of the convenience, he insisted on keeping Yehenala in the palace in the name of the Empress Dowager. After more than a month of happiness, he let her out of the palace.
Then, there is Fukangan!
According to the records in "Records of Emperor Gaozong", Empress Fucha was vomited to death because her younger brother suffered such a great injustice.
After Yuzhu returned to the house, as soon as he lay down with Lin Yaner in his arms, he heard the sound of frost coming from the window.
"Second Master, the concierge came up to report that the infantry commander is at the Yamen. General Luo Xing'a, the master's old subordinate, is here to celebrate the coming New Year."
Yuzhu stayed up all night and was too lazy to deal with these nonsense, so he said angrily: "Didn't the concierge Lao Qin tell them that the master has already entered the palace?"
"Back to the Second Master, Lao Qin has already said it. But when General Luo heard that you were at home, he said that the same thing would happen when he saw you."
Hanshuang Chuan's words made Yuzhu laugh.
Come on, obviously I can’t sleep.
After all, Yuzhu still needs to work hard to win over Longkodo's subordinates, and they will be of great use in the future.
Yuzhu washed his face with cold water to dispel his sleepiness, changed his clothes and went out to meet the guests.
"Sign up to Luo Xing'a, and congratulate Second Master Yu on the New Year and all the best." Luo Xing'a saw Yuzhu and unequivocally agreed.
This general, Luo Xing'a, can be regarded as an old acquaintance.
Last time, Zhao Donghe treated Lin Yaner's third brother to a treat, and Luo Xing'a detained both the person and the goods.
"Lao Luo, don't be so polite all the time. It's too annoying." Yuzhu was determined to win over Luo Xing'a, so his attitude became particularly amiable.
Luo Xing'a couldn't help but feel happy, and her waist lowered even further.
Who in the whole city doesn’t know that Longkodo loves Yuzhu the most?
At a time when military officials are cheap and noble, Luo Xing'a, a third-grade general in the green camp, is worthless at all!
Longkodo's men included both Eight Banners soldiers and Green Camp soldiers, with the Eight Banners soldiers being the main force.
Yuzhu is a cautious person. It is impossible for him to contact the middle and senior generals of the Eight Banners Infantry Camp from the beginning. He can only start from the Green Camp soldiers.
Last time, Luo Xing'a had the intention of currying favor with Yuzhu, and Yuzhu was determined to win over him. With the two of them together, the atmosphere at the scene could not be worse.
Yuzhu gave up his seat with a smile, and ordered his servants to serve tea, fruits, snacks and candies, which made Luo Xing'a very satisfied.
In order to show his closeness, Yuzhu deliberately stayed with Luo Xing'a to chat for more than two quarters of an hour before serving tea to the guests.
When Luo Xing'a went out, he saw that his direct superior, Lieutenant General Gao Ming, was still waiting outside the gate for Yuzhu to receive him, and he couldn't help but feel secretly proud.
"Second Master, the snack box sent by Luo Shen contains a banknote worth ten thousand taels."
When Yuzhu returned from seeing off his guests, Hanshuang came to report the surprising news.
In the past, no one here in Longkodo would open the boxes of snacks sent by guests.
Later, a servant accidentally picked up a discarded snack box and found a five thousand tael silver note hidden inside, so he handed it over to Li Si'er.
To be honest, if it was fifty taels, he would have dared to lie directly. However, the amount of five thousand taels was too large. Even if he took the banknote to cash it at the bank, he would be questioned and found out.
Very simple reason.
In order to celebrate the end of Yuzhu High School, the fifth elder brother Yinqi specially set up a table of top-notch roasted whole-sucked lamb noodles at the top Zhimei Building in Sijiu City.
All the expenses for the whole table, including the fine wine, were summed up and cost less than twelve taels of silver.
Not only is it impossible to spend five thousand taels of silver notes on the market, but no shop dares to accept such a large denomination.
Those who can go to the bank to cash a five thousand tael of silver note must be rich or noble. No matter how they dress or talk, they cannot be too shabby.
Which of the big shopkeepers in the ticket office is not a human spirit? Just cross-examine carefully and the fake servant will reveal his true colors immediately.
If Longkodo found out about this, the whole family would definitely be beaten to death, sent to Wudaokou, and fed to wild dogs.
From then on, Hongmei, Hanshuang, these personal girls have one more job: after the guests leave, they must carefully check the snack boxes.
Yuzhu held the 10,000 taels of silver note in his hand, but his heart was like a mirror. It was just a New Year greeting, and it was impossible to give such a heavy gift.
This general, Luo Xing'a, obviously wanted to bribe Yuzhu to help unblock Longkodo's joints so that he could move up a level and climb to the throne of deputy general as soon as possible.
Yuzhu called Wu Jiang and ordered him to keep the banknote and find an opportunity to return it to Luo Xing'a.
It was impossible to accept bribes, but Yuzhu decided to find a suitable time to help talk to Longkodo and promote Luo Xing'a.
After all, the deputy general of the Green Camp is not an important general at the level of the general of the two wings. It is the first time that Yuzhu helps someone to get an official position. Ninety-nine percent of the time, Longkodo will give him face.
There are approximately 1,500 troops under the command of Lieutenant General Green Camp. At critical moments, they are a force that determines victory or defeat.
After decades of being corroded by comfort and enjoyment, most of the Eight Banners soldiers in the Beijing camp can no longer bear to fight.
On the contrary, the green battalion soldiers have not lost their energy and spirit, and still maintain a high combat effectiveness.
In the later years of Kangxi's reign, in the northwest war, the main force, in addition to the warriors of the Sauron tribe, was the Green Camp.
