The fourth child always dreamed of trapping the jade pillar in his sleeve, but he never succeeded.
That idiot Cao Yin didn't win over his powerful son-in-law who was famous all over the world, but gave his face to Nersu. This is no ordinary stupidity!
"Why bother with that idiot? Come on, I happen to be craving for wine. Let's have three of them each, a few cups, no, a few bowls."
The fourth child took advantage of the situation and sat next to Yuzhu. Sifujin filled a bowl of wine, clinked the bowls with Yuzhu and started to have sex...
As for the cooks at Laosi's house, Yuzhu is most satisfied with his knife skills in cutting ultra-thin mutton slices.
Each piece of mutton on the plate is cut as thin as paper.
If it weren't for the fear of parasites, Yuzhu would probably only boil it five times before rolling it in sauce and stuffing it into his mouth.
After drinking and eating, the three of them sat together drinking tea and chatting.
After construction started on Changchun Garden, the fourth child was obviously busier than before.
What's more troublesome is that the Ministry of Industry is only responsible for starting construction, while the money and design plans are in the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The serious fourth child quarreled with people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs almost every day because of engineering matters.
However, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were very confident and could not compare favorably with Lao Si, the Supreme Emperor of the Ministry of Works.
The current head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is named He Yi. He is from Zhenghuang Banner Manchuria and comes from a branch of the Hesheli family.
He Yi's father, Shuai Yanbao, was the cousin of Hesheli Sony.
Today, He Yi is considered the most powerful member of the entire Hesheli family.
Both Suo'etu and his son were killed, but He Yi, who was from the same clan, was not affected at all and remained firmly on the throne of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It must be admitted that He Yi is a guy with some real abilities. Moreover, this person is particularly good at painting.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that the fourth child wanted him to go to the old emperor and help him beat the drum.
The problem is that the old emperor is not a foolish king who allows himself to be manipulated by Yuzhu.
Interfering in the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for no reason is too sensitive and is purely a taboo matter, so it is impossible for Yuzhu to do it.
Seeing that Yuzhu was deliberately pretending to be stupid, the fourth child had no choice but to raise the wine bowl angrily, bump the bowl with Yuzhu fiercely, and then drink the wine in one gulp.
The fourth child's drinking capacity is actually very light. Let alone drinking with Yuzhu, even the thirteenth brother can drink three fourth children by himself without any pressure.
"Cousin, are you really not going to help me?" Lao Si asked Yuzhu unwillingly.
Yuzhu smiled and said: "Cousin, if I rashly interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, what will the emperor think?"
In this world, besides Yuzhu, the fourth child understood Kangxi's temperament best.
Yuzhu's rhetorical question left Lao Si speechless and unable to continue speaking.
On this day, while playing chess with the old emperor, the old emperor suddenly asked Yuzhu: "Not much happened recently, right?"
From the average person's point of view, the emperor has asked this question, and no matter how busy he is, he can't say he is busy.
However, Yuzhu was not an ordinary person. He said with a sneer on his face: "Old man, I am seventeen years old and I still don't have a legitimate son. Besides, there are too many chores in the supervisory office. How can I be busy?"
Whenever Kangxi saw Yuzhu's lazy look, he would feel angry. He snorted coldly and said: "How can you achieve great things if you are so greedy for comfort and enjoyment at such a young age?"
Yuzhu knew that the old emperor was not really angry, so he said with a smile: "Old man, there are three ways to be unfilial, and the worst is not having children. I plan to work harder."
Originally, if Yuzhu was very ambitious and motivated, Kangxi might not necessarily use him.
Now, Yuzhu was dodging desperately, not wanting to do more errands. Kangxi felt that he was the best candidate!
"Well, this year is the serious year of the rural examination, and the Jiangnan Township Examination still lacks a real examiner. I originally thought that you were too young and not very suitable. Now that I think about it carefully, you are the best candidate." Kangxi said more and more.
Staring at Yuzhu's face energetically and brightly.
At the entrance of the Gongyuan of the Jiangnan Provincial Examination, which time after the results of the Provincial Examination were announced, did not the poor scholars gather to make trouble?
Yuzhu didn't want to get involved in the mud of Jiangnan scholars. He repeatedly waved his hands and said: "Old man, how old am I? Scholars will criticize the imperial court, but don't we have no one in the Qing Dynasty? It's inappropriate, it's too inappropriate.
It’s appropriate.”
"Well, the Jiangnan scholars have always been dissatisfied. You are still a bit too young. Well, then go to Guangdong." Kangxi clearly saw that Yuzhu was not willing to leave his comfort zone in the capital, but he pretended not to see it and
He looked amiable and comforted Yuzhu in a low voice, "I'll be back soon. I'll be back in a few months. I won't be able to delay you from giving birth to your legitimate son."
Come on, Kangxi made the final decision and sent Yuzhu to appear in the Guangdong Provincial Examination.
To serve as the chief examiner of the Guangdong Provincial Examination, Yuzhu is definitely qualified.
According to the practice of the imperial court, the examiner of the provincial examination can be a seventh-grade official or a second-grade official. There is no restriction on this.
However, both the chief examiner and the deputy examiner of the rural examination must be Hanzhanke Taoist officials with Jinshi background.
He is a scholar with a previous academic record and is currently a bachelor's degree student at the Hanlin Academy. He works in the Zhinan Study Room, lectures on daily life and annotated officials, and attends banquets on scriptures.
Hey, this series of dazzling Hanyuan titles gave Yuzhu no reason to refuse Kangxi's request.
As soon as Yuzhu's front legs reached home, Wei Zhu's rear legs came after him.
After setting up the incense table, Wei Zhu announced his decree.
"The cabinet has issued an order. Yuzhu, a bachelor at the Hanlin Academy, is sent by imperial envoy to attend the Guangdong Provincial Examination and is appointed as the chief examiner. I appreciate this!"
"Your Majesty Yuzhu accepted the order and thanked you for your kindness."
After Yuzhu accepted the order, he winked at Wu Jiang without revealing any trace, and Wu Jiang immediately left the door.
"Thank you, Mr. Wei." Yuzhu asked Wei Zhu to take a seat, and he sat horizontally to accompany him.
At this time, Wu Jiang came in with a bent waist and a tea tray. Taking advantage of the opportunity to serve tea and collect the tray, Wu Jiang conveniently stuffed a two thousand tael silver note into Wei Zhu's horseshoe sleeve.
The power of money is infinite!
Wei Zhu touched the banknote and knew that he had got two thousand taels.
"You can't sit here for too long, lest you delay going to Zhang Hengchen's house to deliver the decree."
When Wei Zhu said this, Yu Zhu immediately understood that the deputy examiner of this Guangdong Provincial Examination was Zhang Tingyu.
Zhang Tingyu had stayed in Nan Study for several years, and now he was sent as a student by the old emperor. Obviously, he performed well and won the favor of the emperor, and he was about to be put to great use.
In the Qing Dynasty, the students who obtained the academic qualifications in the Provincial Examination were all highly successful, making the poor Hanlin officials envious.
For example, Tang Bing, who had poor official career before, has been standing still.
However, because they have been away on study tours several times and have many students who pay tribute during the holidays, the Tang family is actually not poor.
Hanlin is divided into red and black. The biggest dividing line is whether one has entered the South Study Room or not, and whether one has been on a study tour or not.
In layman's terms, as long as you have been on a few study tours, no matter how bad your official career is, you can still live a relatively comfortable life with disciples from Beijing taking care of you.
Yuzhu's family was extremely wealthy, and he didn't care about the money and courtesy from his disciples.
However, the seventeen-year-old was the chief examiner, and on the day the ranking list was announced, hundreds of candidates from Guangdong became his disciples.
It’s hard to see what will happen now, but after more than ten years, when Yuzhu is in a high position and has a certain amount of power, it will be a big deal.
At that time, Duke Zhu ascends to the top and shouts, and the disciples will definitely follow him as long as they are not stupid.
Zhang Tingyu went on study tours many times. After he became the Minister of Military Aircraft, who was in direct opposition to Ortai, his disciples and old officials were all over the government and the public, making it difficult to control the situation.
At the beginning of Qianlong's accession to the throne, both Zhang Dang and E Dang were extremely troubled.
After enduring it for more than ten years, it was not until Zhang Hengchen retired from office due to old age that Qianlong dared to find an extremely lame excuse and attack him viciously.
According to the usual practice, on the morning of the second day after receiving the order, the chief and deputy examiners of the provincial examinations in each province would go outside the Meridian Gate to receive the formal imperial edict.
The national talent promotion ceremony is not a joke and must have a solemn sense of ceremony.
However, Yuzhu had something on his mind, so he couldn't wait until the next morning, so he went out in a sedan chair and handed the sign to the Qianqing Palace.
Kangxi must have guessed what Yuzhu wanted to say, so he deliberately left him outside the palace gate.
After Yuzhu stood at the steps of Qianqing Palace for an hour, the old emperor reluctantly summoned him.
"Old man..." Just as Yuzhu was about to get closer, Kangxi muttered, "The king and his ministers are right, so don't make any mistakes."
During the official duel between the emperor and his ministers, he was reprimanded by the emperor. Jade Pillar quickly took off his hat and kowtowed to apologize.
"I am guilty. Please punish me severely, Your Majesty."
Wei Zhu on the side was so anxious that he broke into a cold sweat and wished he hadn't been there.
Seeing that Yuzhu is usually very clever, is this guy out of his mind today? Master Wan live deliberately did not see him, but he insists on arguing with Master Wan live?
Wei Zhu saw clearly that Long Live Lord's tone was not kind, so Yuzhu should kowtow and retreat quickly.
However, today Yuzhu felt as if his head had been kicked by a donkey. Not only did he not leave, but he also wanted to be blamed for something?
"How dare you force me to make an exception?" Kangxi's tone was not serious, but the warmth in the entire palace suddenly dropped by more than eighty degrees.
Wei Zhu was shivering from the cold, and her legs were so weak from fear that someone else would have collapsed to the ground.
Yuzhu kowtowed again and said with a sad face: "Going back to the emperor, you also know about my little problems. There is nothing I can do about it. I have a daughter every day. If I go south alone, I will definitely not be able to bear it.
Those who live there have to go to Zanji."
Wei Zhu's little heart felt as if someone had hit it hard with a big hammer, and it stopped beating instantly.
My little darling, who dares to openly say that he wants to go to Zanji in front of Long Live Lord?
"Huh, then you go and accompany Lao Jiu to guard the mausoleum." Kangxi didn't intend to coddle Yuzhu, so he directly dealt with it harshly.
Who would have thought that after Yuzhu kowtowed and thanked him, he stood up and walked backwards.
Ah, he actually accepted the command from the guardian of the mausoleum!
Wei Zhu was dumbfounded, but secretly raised his thumb, admiring Yuzhu's lust and courage.
As usual, the examiner of the provincial examination is not allowed to bring his wife or concubines with him.
This boy Yuzhu would rather guard the mausoleum than go south with a woman.
"Damn it." Kangxi was really angry. He took off the Buddhist beads from his wrist and threw them at the jade pillar fiercely.
"Bang." The beads fell to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound.
Just when Wei Zhu thought that Yuzhu was going to be in bad luck, Lord Long Live suddenly said coldly: "You can only bring one maid. Get lost. If you dare to make me angry again, I will twist your head off and use it as a horse."
