Historically, before Lao Shisan’s biological mother, Concubine Min Zhangjia, passed away, Lao Shisan actually had a good chance of becoming a leader.
Because during that period, no matter where Kangxi went, even if he was criticizing the book in the Palace of Qianqing, he would always take Zhang Jia with him, which was an unusually doting gesture.
In just four years, the Zhang Jia family was promoted from a palace maid under the Manchurian Huang banner to a sensitive concubine, but there was never a formal canonization ceremony.
It is no exaggeration to say that so far, only the fourth elder brother's biological mother, Concubine De, has been promoted faster than the Zhangjia family. The difference is that when Concubine De was canonized as a concubine, there was a formal canonization ceremony.
Tragically, when Lao Shisan was 13 years old, his biological mother, Zhang Jia, passed away and was posthumously named Concubine Min.
A child without a mother will definitely be bullied.
Before Concubine Min's funeral lasted for a hundred days, the third child Yinzhi shaved his head carelessly. When the old man found out, he punched the third child several times.
As a result, when Kangxi found out, he gently let Lao San go and demoted him from Prince Cheng to Baylor, but punished Lao San by kneeling down.
Poor old Thirteen knelt on the cold bluestone for six hours in the ice and snow.
The serious problem in Lao Shisan’s knee is the root cause of the disease at that time.
Later, after the death of the thirteenth brother, the fourth child insisted on finding faults and banned the third child on the pretext that the third child Yinzhi lacked condolences for the death of Prince Yi Yunxiang.
The tough guy Fourth finally vented his anger on behalf of Thirteen!
After the major matters were settled, the Long family waited for the announcement of the gold list.
This time, Longkodo wasn't nervous at all. After Yuzhu passed the provincial examination, he was already a junior four. Anyone who dares not to win the Jinshi with him will have to bear the serious consequences of being struck by thunder.
In the Gongyuan, Wu Jun, the president of the examination, a bachelor of the Baohe Palace and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was feeling worried.
In front of him, three test papers with the most circles were placed at the same time. However, Wu Jun couldn't see clearly which one was Yu Zhu's?
The successful examination papers for the Shuntianfu Provincial Examination have been published for a long time and have been distributed all over the world. Naturally, Wu Jun has seen them.
After carefully comparing the examination papers of the top ten candidates, I can honestly say that it is only natural that Yuzhu was selected as Jieyuan!
Before the examination, Jinshang did not say anything publicly, but gave Yuzhu the title of Jingqing.
Well, how should I put it? As an important minister who had served Kangxi for decades, Wu Jun naturally understood what Jin Shang was thinking.
Although Wu Jun's status is high, he is not young, his physical strength is not good, and he is about to retire.
This Wu Jun was born in the 10th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the 2nd year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty. He is already an old man.
For an old bureaucrat like Wu Jun, he can figure out his superiors' intentions clearly and then cater to them in a gentle and gentle manner. This is his unique secret for being the chief bachelor for a long time.
However, if I can't find Yuzhu's paper now, I will be in big trouble.
I don’t know whether it is a coincidence or intentional, but although the three vice presidents are all minister-level officials, none of them is a bachelor.
In other words, Wu Jun is the only one who dominates this examination!
The power and status of the president instantly surpassed all the vice presidents together. This had never happened before this interview.
Seeing that the entire grading work was about to be completed, and the day of announcing the results was approaching day by day, Wu Jun was still at a loss.
"Everyone, what do you think of these three test papers?" Wu Jun is an old bureaucrat. He couldn't read clearly himself, so he asked someone to help him read them.
But, these days, who is stupider than whom?
The three vice presidents collectively chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb. They had a lot of eulogies, but none of them were useful.
"Wu Xiangguo, you are a rare scholar in the world and a dignified leader of scholars. How dare we do it?"
The list will be announced tomorrow, but Wu Jun still hasn't found Yuzhu's paper.
There is no other way. If we don't make a decision, once the time for publishing the list is delayed, there will definitely be a big storm inside and outside the court, and Wu Jun will collapse in the evening without any protection.
Wu Jun simply didn't think about it so much. He could only follow his heart and choose the one he thought was the best among the three papers, and marked it as Huiyuan.
The supervisor of this examination, Shi Funa, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, used small scissors to remove the seal of the Huiyuan examination paper in full view of the public.
"In the 45th year of Kangxi's reign, the first place in the Bingxu Enke Examination of the Ministry of Rites was Tong Jia Yuzhu. Guan: The inner city of Shuntian Prefecture is decorated with yellow flag Manchuria. Great-grandfather Tong Jia Tu Lai, ancestor Tong Jia Guowei, father Tong Jia
·Longkodo..."
Wu Jun took a long breath, Yuzhu's Huiyuan was truly restored!
This time, Li Si'er prepared thirty thousand taels of small silver ingots, or five taels each.
Last time, it was so scary that there were so many official officials that they almost lost their money.
What do you mean by saying that the future number one scholar can’t even afford a little money in his mansion?
Ever since the last time the official said some sweet words about the number one scholar, Li Si'er has been convinced of it.
Longkodo did not dare to act evil this time, and obediently entered the palace to meet the saint, and reported in detail the movements of the Manchurian ministers who were secretly monitoring them.
To put it bluntly, in addition to maintaining law and order in the capital, Longkodo is also responsible for secretly monitoring the movements of the prince and Lao Ba.
Precisely because he kept a close eye on the evil deeds of Ninth Brother who bullied the market and robbed merchants of good shops, Longkodo recorded a lot of them in his little black book.
Longkodo knew very well that Lao Jiu was Lao Ba's money bag and dog-headed military advisor. Lao Ten was actually a useless piece of shit, not worth sending anyone to monitor at all.
Old Fourteen seems to be a gangster, but in fact he is a rebellious guy, very ambitious, maybe he is also secretly aiming at a big position, right?
Kangxi noticed that Long Keduo's speech was much faster than usual, so he said coldly: "What? There are still urgent matters to be done?
Longkodo had long been a fool in front of Kangxi, and he was not afraid that Kangxi would lower his face and say harsh words.
"Master, if you ask, I will tell you the truth. I will try to publish the list today." Longkodo just reported an important situation about Lao Ba, which was obviously something that Kangxi had not grasped before. He was confident in his heart that Kangxi could not
Angry.
"Humph, you have such a small idea? It's just a test, and even I dare to perfunctory it?" Kangxi's tone was hollow, and there was no emotion or anger.
Longkodo quickly knelt down and took off his hat on his own initiative. "Puff, puff, puff." He kowtowed three times.
"Master, my slave is like a monkey. How can I jump into the palm of the Tathagata's hand? Master, aren't they all within your control?"
As soon as Kodo said these words, Kangxi couldn't help but smile.
"Go away." Kangxi knew that Longko was worried about the results of the test. Since he had just made a great contribution and was really doing his job sincerely, he didn't care about it.
Wei Zhu, who was standing with his back leaning against the pillars of the palace and hunched over, looked at Longkodo's retreating figure and couldn't help but admire him.
What an awesome Long Laosan, he let his Jieyuan son show his face in front of Long Live Lord again.
It’s okay to show his face, but Long Live Master didn’t realize that Long Laosan had set this up deliberately.
Hey, not even Wei Zhu can do this, only Liang Jiugong has it.
Due to the Rakshasa Kingdom's repeated provocations at the border, Kangxi called the fifth elder brother Yinzhi, the elder brother of the vassal administration, to the Qianqing Palace.
"General Bo Ding of Heilongjiang gave a lie, saying that little Khabarov from the Rakshasa Kingdom was near Yaksa again and was ready to make a move."
Kangxi was very angry, but the consequences were not serious.
There is no other way, there is not much money left in the treasury, and there is also the Qing Dynasty's mortal enemy in the west, Junggar Khan Cewang Alabutan.
Things are not peaceful over there in Qinghai either.
According to calculations by the Ministry of Revenue, Kangxi's latest personal expedition to the Junggar Khanate dispatched less than 100,000 troops. It lasted only seven months and cost nearly 15 million taels of silver.
Fighting means burning money, and this statement is absolutely true!
The fifth elder brother, Yinzhi, was the elder brother in charge of the Lifan Yuan. Naturally, he knew in his heart that the reason why Kangxi asked him to come to the Qing Palace was to negotiate peace.
The team that invaded the border of the Rakshasa Kingdom was not a regular army, but a small group of Cossack mercenaries led by Khabarov. At best, it was a small team of more than 300 people, which was nothing to worry about.
Kangxi and the fifth elder brother agreed that the most important problem of the Qing Dynasty was not the Rakshasa Kingdom, but the Junggar Khan-Cewang Alabutan.
This is mainly because the large area of Heilongjiang is vast and sparsely populated. It is often uninhabited for hundreds of miles and is full of vast virgin forests.
In the ice and snow, the Qing Dynasty garrisoned more troops, and the logistics supplies could not keep up. The garrison was small, and they could not defeat the Rakshasa Kingdom's musketry cavalry, which gave them a huge headache.
The Junggar Khanate posed a much greater threat to the Qing Dynasty than Goguryeo posed a military threat to the Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty.
However, after the Qing Dynasty and the Rakshasa Kingdom signed the "Treaty of Nerchinsk", the Rakshasa Kingdom's encroachment actions started and stopped, which was unpredictable.
No matter how sophisticated the strategy is being discussed in the palace, how can we fight a war if there is no money in the treasury?
In addition, there has been constant friction between the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Junggar Khanate recently.
If we go to fight against the Rakshasa Kingdom now, we are afraid that the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Junggar Khanate will stop their friction and unanimously target the Qing Dynasty.
Based on this, Kangxi actually had no choice but to continue sending people to negotiate peace with the Rakshasa Kingdom.
At this moment, Wei Zhu bent down, came to Kangxi's side, and whispered, "Go back to Long Live Lord, the first place in the test will be Yuzhu."
Under normal circumstances, Wei Zhu would not have the guts to interrupt Kangxi and his brothers.
No, before Kangxi went to court today, he specifically told Wei Zhu. As long as the first place in the test is successful, he must report it as soon as possible.
"My dearest congratulations to Khan Ama, Heaven has sent down the star of prosperity to my Manchu nobles. This is a good omen for God to bless our Qing Dynasty. Even Renzong of the Song Dynasty is far behind in such a prosperous civilization!" The fifth elder brother saw it. Kangxi was in high spirits and quickly knelt down, pouring all the flattering praises he had memorized onto Kangxi.
"Haha, fifth brother, when did you learn to flatter me?" Kangxi looked at the fifth elder brother with a half-smile.
It's a pity that Lao Wu can't speak Chinese fluently and can only speak Manchu when he plays correctly. Alas, it would be better if it was in Chinese.
Lao Wu's face was injured because he was actually retreating first to protect Kangxi who was rushing in.
This matter has now become a big taboo, and no one dares to mention it again. However, Kangxi has always been deeply ashamed of Lao Wu Yinqi.
Lao Wu was not a god, and he could not have guessed that Yuzhu had won Huiyuan again. He prepared a whole set of words so that when Kangxi was happy, he would take the opportunity to say a few good words for Yuzhu.
However, looking at Kangxi's implicitly happy look, what else does the fifth elder brother not understand? He is really happy.
So, the fifth elder brother took back the nice words he had spoken.
At this time, saying good things for Yuzhu would be like superfluous, and there is absolutely no need for that!
Kangxi was on guard against his adult sons all day long, and his sons were studying Kangxi's thoughts every day.
In the Tian family, there is also a father-son relationship, but it is not much family happiness without touching the imperial power!
After leaving the palace, the fifth elder brother did not come directly to Yuzhu. This was too sensitive and was something a wise man would not do.
