In front of so many people, the old emperor became so angry that he drew his sword to kill his own son.
Put yourself in his shoes, what does the old emperor need most now?
Kill everyone present?
impossible things!
In his later years, the old emperor had an extremely good reputation, and what he pursued was the magnanimity of a benevolent king.
Obviously, what the old emperor needs most now is two words: steps...
It is difficult to build a ladder for the old emperor to go down the steps, and it must be done beautifully and without any future troubles. It can be said that it is difficult to reach the sky!
Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and there are opportunities only when there are dangers.
The more difficult it is, the more it reveals Yuzhu's true ability.
"Back to the emperor, if I follow my original intention, I do have some opinions about Master Jiu." Yuzhu did not hide it, and revealed his hatred for Lao Jiu to the old emperor.
The old emperor nodded. He must have heard that this was Yuzhu's implicit sincerity.
"Your Majesty is the Emperor, and the Emperor's instruction to his son who is incompetent is really a family matter. How dare foreign ministers comment?" Yuzhu stood firm and expressed his attitude.
The old emperor waved his hands, showing a weak look, giving people a feeling of exhaustion.
"You are a junior in the family, and your status is different from others, but it doesn't matter." Kangxi obviously heard what Yuzhu meant, and went down the slope, but still did not let Yuzhu go.
The father was so angry that he was trying to scare his son with things that were just household chores!
Since it is a family matter, ministers should not be too talkative and meddle in it.
According to Yuzhu's explanation, when Kangxi drew his sword in anger, it was not because the king wanted to kill his ministers, but because the father was frightening his son!
Which father, when he is very angry, doesn't say a few exaggerated words and do a few exaggerated things?
That makes sense!
The myths are also true. The core is that the old emperor can justify himself and cope with the obstacles in his heart.
The old emperor was Yuzhu's uncle and cousin, so he regarded Yuzhu as a junior in the family, both in public and private matters, which was indeed justified.
"When an elder is angry, if he is truly filial, he should walk away with a big stick! Otherwise, he will trap his elders in injustice." Yuzhu knew in his heart that the hurdle in the old emperor's heart was far from being overcome.
Yuzhu stood firm in his filial piety and took him out completely.
"Huh, you little monkey, why did you deliberately go so far away?" The old emperor disliked Yuzhu's convoluted words and glared at him angrily.
"Junior, I just heard you mention that my ancestor, Emperor Zhang, asked you in a dream that he misses his ninth cousin. Why not send him to Xiaoling alone, eat fast and copy scriptures, and fulfill his filial piety with a pure heart and few desires?"
As soon as Yuzhu said these words, Wei Zhu on the side raised his thumb secretly, wonderful, really brilliant!
The emperor entrusted his dream grandchild to his grandson. This excuse is really wonderful!
Kangxi felt angry in his heart, and there was a hurdle he could not overcome.
According to Yuzhu's understanding, the old emperor wanted to punish Lao Jiu severely, but he also didn't want to cause gossip, and he also wanted to be reasonable.
The old emperor wanted too many things.
That is to say, Yuzhu had quick wits and found a very suitable step with extraordinary cleverness, so that the old emperor could smoothly release the suffocating breath in his chest just by stretching his feet.
"What should we do with those people?" Kangxi did not mention how to punish Lao Jiu, but pointed the finger at the wealthy businessmen who were kneeling on the ground.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that the emperor had already acquiesced to his proposal. Letting Lao Jiu guard the mausoleum was a plan that killed three birds with one stone!
It not only temporarily deprived Lao Ba of his powerful dog-headed strategist, but also helped Kangxi vent his bad temper. It could also calm the passive situation caused by negative public opinion.
If Lao Jiu went to guard the mausoleum, the old emperor would obviously be much quieter!
"In my opinion, I will write down their names and implement the joint sitting. If one person talks nonsense, everyone will be fined one million taels of silver." Yuzhu's ruthless method immediately made the old emperor laugh.
"It is still necessary to be tolerant. Alas, it is really the misfortune of the family that makes outsiders laugh." When Kangxi said this, Yuzhu understood instantly.
If only one or two people knew about it, Kangxi would probably resort to killing people to silence them.
It is impossible for a dead person to speak, so the future troubles will be eliminated forever!
The problem is that there are 200 wealthy businessmen on site, as well as a large number of servants and guards.
Everyone has seen the scandal of Kangxi drawing a sword to chase his son. Objectively speaking, even if you want to silence him, it is completely impossible.
We can't kill all these people, right?
Yuzhu's idea just scratched the old emperor's serious lack of money, and it was in line with the Holy Heart!
As long as the news spreads, the old emperor can justifiably steal several wealthy businessmen and use their money to attack the Rakshasa Kingdom.
"Well, you are the tax supervisor, and you are in charge of the cheap businessmen, so they are all left to you to deal with." Kangxi was not short of money to spend, and most of the bad breath he had been holding finally vented.
"However, some people must be severely punished." The old emperor said these three words more seriously for some people.
When Yuzhu heard this, he understood that this was to severely deal with those wealthy businessmen who made money for Lao Jiu, that is, for Lao Ba.
"I accept the decree." Yuzhu knelt down and received the oral instruction, thinking to himself that the old emperor was really powerful.
The old emperor calmly pushed the jade pillar, allowing him to stand at the forefront of the fight against Lao Ba and the prince.
Yuzhu has cut off Lao Ba's financial resources. Even if Lao Ba is a rare virtuous king, how can he let go of Yu Zhu?
If Lao Ba wants to trouble Yuzhu, Prince Yinreng will probably help Yuzhu.
In this way, the huge whirlpool of struggle that originally gathered on the old emperor was temporarily transferred to Yuzhu as a shield.
Yuzhu was originally a staunch pure minister. The more valuable he was to Kangxi, the higher he would climb and the chance to gain military power.
The old emperor left, and Lao Jiu was also taken away by the guards with swords. Those arrogant guys who slandered Yuzhu as the emperor's male favorite were also taken away.
Before the large troops in the palace had finished withdrawing, Longkodo came with his troops.
"Hey, the emperor said, I will send troops to catch whoever you say will be arrested." Longkodo said with a smile.
Yuzhu smiled slightly and said: "Amma, who should be arrested? Do you still need your son to talk too much?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Long Keduo laughed and immediately ordered: "Come here and arrest all the people in Lao Jiu."
According to the list given by Longkoduo, Lao Jiu's white gloves were captured one by one.
The old emperor hated Lao Jiu so much that Yuzhu must obey his orders.
So, Yuzhu walked up to the frightened wealthy businessmen, raised his voice, and said: "Who among you is a member of Yinzhen's party? As long as you recruit them, you will have the possibility of survival and even saving your family property."
Backed by Kangxi's will, the life, death, honor or disgrace of the wealthy businessmen kneeling all over the place depended on Yuzhu's thoughts.
Zhu Gong is a swordsman, and a wealthy businessman is a fisherman. How dare you disobey?
Others' confessions were fine, but Lai Qi's confession surprised Yuzhu.
The father and brother of the Zhen family in Changlong are actually from Laojiu.
"Come here, take Lai Qi and ransack Zhen's house."
"嗻."
Niu Tai took the order and mobilized all his tax collectors to attack the Zhen family.
"Sir, the daughter of the people is unjustly accused. The father and brother of the people have nothing to do with Master Jiu. It must be Lai Qi who is slandering others and deliberately framed my family." Zhen, who had already been captured, was not stupid at all. He guessed right.
The Zhen family is already meat on the chopping board. Yuzhu can cut it as he pleases, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to Zhen's cries of injustice.
The old emperor was so angry that he couldn't really calm down without giving him a few million taels of silver.
Since Lai Qi has bitten the Zhen family, the Zhen family deserves to be in bad luck.
These days, no matter how rich the lowly businessmen are, they can only crawl under the imperial power and official power and become lambs to be slaughtered.
the truth?
Don't be ridiculous, the truth is not worth mentioning at all!
Kangxi wanted money, Yuzhu wanted a perfect relationship, and neither of them wanted the truth.
Yuzhu turned around and left. He was a dignified imperial tax inspector, how could he get entangled with a female prostitute?
"Sir, if a daughter of the people has something important to report, it is a matter of great importance." Mrs. Zhen was anxious. If Yuzhu left, the entire Zhen family would be completely ruined.
"A major event that reaches the sky?" Yuzhu's eyes flashed and he thought to himself, could it be related to Lao Ba?
Yuzhu just offended Lao Jiu. It would be wonderful if Zhen had Lao Ba's secret.
"Take her to the inner study and wait." After Yuzhu ordered Wendena, he went to talk to Longkodo.
After Longkodo asked clearly about the ins and outs of the matter, he couldn't help stroking his forehead and sighed: "My son is indeed very wise."
With Longkodo's political wisdom, he naturally knew very well that if Lao Jiu really died under Kangxi's sword, Yuzhu would definitely not survive either.
Long Ke drank several cups of tea before he calmed down.
After the father and son reached an agreement, they immediately sent troops to raid all the homes of Lao Jiu's White Gloves.
Longkodo and Yuzhu knew very well that the emperor had been kept awake at night by the fierce fight between the old man and the prince.
Taking this opportunity to cut off Lao Jiu's wings and cut off Lao Jiu's financial resources, the Ba Ye Party will definitely have to cease for a while.
This is Longkodo's idea.
Yuzhu thought more deeply. After Lao Jiu and his people were dealt with, Lao Ba lost his ability to bribe important ministers.
As long as Lao Ba's offensive weakens, the prince will definitely step up his actions to gain an absolute advantage that completely overwhelms Lao Ba.
But the problem is that once the prince rises again, Kangxi will definitely support Lao Ba. At that time, Lao Jiu, who guards the mausoleum, will be put back to Lao Ba's side.
The situation is so strange.
Objectively speaking, an irresolvable dead cycle has been formed between Lao Ba, the prince and Kangxi.
Hey, being a pure minister, solving problems for the emperor, beheading the old man on the left, and the prince on the right are the foundation for rising to great heights!
Troops were sent to search the houses of those who should be confiscated. Yuzhu appeared in front of the wealthy businessmen again and announced in public: "Each family must pay 30,000 taels of tax silver, not less than one tael, and the full amount must be paid within three days. Those who fail to pay
, bear all consequences at your own risk.”
In the face of absolute strength, no matter how reluctant the wealthy businessmen were to part with money, they had no choice but to accept it obediently in order to save their lives.
However, when Yuzhu went to see Mrs. Zhen, it was another legendary story.
