In this cannibalistic society, the emperor's name is an absolute taboo and must be avoided.
For example, in Xuan Ye's Xuan, whether it is in memorials or in folk books, the last point must be missing.
If you don't lack that, it will be a crime of great disrespect, which can range from the death of your whole family to the death of three tribes of barbarians.
Kangxi's name is Xuan Ye. Regardless of whether it is Xuan or Ye, any name with the same pronunciation must be renamed. This is the so-called national taboo!
Although the character Xuan is not pronounced as Xuan, the pronunciation of the character Xuan is somewhat similar to that of Xuan.
In line with the logic of avoiding taboos and never causing trouble, no one in the Kangxi Dynasty dared to take this name, not even a nickname!
Unless, the emperor personally gives the name!
Since Kangxi personally gave the nickname, Yuzhu's eldest son will be called Brother Xuan from now on!
This is an extremely glorious thing!
Because, in addition to naming his sons, only a handful of Kangxi's nearly one hundred imperial grandsons enjoyed the special treatment of being named by the emperor himself.
Wei Zhu knew very well that this was a compensation jade pillar in disguise by Long Live Lord.
After all, after coming out of Mulan Paddock's palace, Yuzhu was not only deprived of his military power, but was also left in the cold.
However, Yuzhu is not only very obedient, but also has no resentment.
The emperor had been alienated from Yuzhu for a while. After meeting again, Yuzhu still treated the emperor with special intimacy. This is extremely rare!
After meeting with his only living uncle, Kangxi became interested and lost track of time as soon as he chatted about common things.
When it was time for dinner, Kangxi simply called the three descendants of the Tong family to have dinner with him.
However, after Kangxi gave Tong Guowei a seat as they said they were having a meal together, Longkodo and Yuzhu had no choice but to stand behind Tong Guowei and serve the old man's meal.
The etiquette and laws are so strict, how can there be any reason to sit with the father and ancestors?
Tong Guowei is sixty-six years old. He has bad teeth and cannot chew anything too hard.
Fortunately, the weather was not cold, and the dishes that had been poisoned by the eunuchs in advance were still warm.
Longkodo held a plate in one hand and chopsticks in the other, always picking up some meat that Tong Guowei couldn't chew, which made Tong Guowei very angry.
In fact, Yuzhu is the main force who picks up food for Tong Guowei.
Kangxi noticed that Yuzhu was much more considerate than Long Keduo. He always brought Tong Guowei some tender green vegetables that he could chew.
Kangxi, who had long been tired of the imperial cuisine, liked Tong's dishes very much.
In the Long Mansion, Long Ke is mostly a carnivore. Li Si'er is afraid of gaining weight and only eats vegetables. Yuzhu eats half vegetables and half meat and mainly eats light food. His sister Yuyan is also a carnivore.
Therefore, the dishes of Longfu can be said to be eclectic. There are both Manchu meat and Jiangnan special dishes. Kangxi was quite satisfied with his meal.
After dinner, when they gathered together to drink tea and chat, Kangxi suddenly asked Yuzhu: "What are your plans?"
When the emperor asked this question, whether it was Tong Guowei or Longkodo, the strings in their hearts tightened suddenly.
However, in front of the emperor, they did not dare to wink at Yuzhu, so they could only resign themselves to fate.
Yuzhu understood in his heart, and he said with a smile: "Master, let's be serious, I want to go back to the Hanlin Academy. I will study books and compile history, and I will also have time to honor Mafa and Amma."
Since he was tabooed for no reason, Yuzhu simply lay down!
This is a clear message to Kangxi that I, Yuzhu, do not have much desire for power. When it is time to enjoy happiness, I will enjoy it and never cling to power!
After being reminded by Yuzhu, Kangxi remembered that the boy in front of him was an old and habitual criminal in the Yamen!
Everyone else went to the office on time, but Yuzhu dared to sleep until daylight before getting up as long as he had no urgent errands.
"Well, there are always mistakes in the judicial department of the Ministry of Household Affairs. You should become the general manager." As soon as Kangxi said these words, Tong Guowei and Longkodo couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
The Ministry of Household Affairs now has the Trial Division, which is in charge of all civil and property disputes among bannermen.
Among the Eight Banners, matters such as unfair division of family property, failure to repay borrowed money, economic and financial disputes between bannermen and Han people, etc., are all under the jurisdiction of the current trial office of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Within the Ministry of Household Affairs, other departments, including the Eight Banners Salary and Pay Office, are in charge of matters of the fifth grade.
However, the current head-office doctor of the Ministry of Household Affairs has always been a fourth-grade bannerman, and his position is higher than that of other doctors.
What's even more surprising is that Kangxi added: "You have defeated the Rakshasa's nest and achieved great military exploits. Let's confer you the title of first-class Ashanihafan (Baron). It will be quasi-hereditary."
Tong Guowei quickly knelt down and said tremblingly: "I kowtow to my master for the jade pillar."
"Master, you treat our Tong family very well." Long Keduo's words were very pleasing to the ear.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Yuzhu also quickly thanked him.
In this way, the Tong family has three nobles, two first-class males and one first-class male, which can be said to be extremely prominent!
Even if it is not Tong Guogang's side, the Tong family of Tong Guowei's lineage is one family and two nobles!
Because Kangxi paid special attention to his mother's family, his two uncles, Tong Guowei and Tong Guogang, were awarded the two first-class Cheng'en Dukes, both of which were hereditary and non-replaceable titles.
In this way, after Longkodo's death, Yuzhu attacked the first-class baron. The remaining first-class baron could be selected by one of Yuzhu's concubines to seize the title.
Where is Brother Xuan?
According to the rules of the bannermen's succession to the nobility, Brother Xuan is both direct and eldest. As long as Zhongdao does not die young, the hereditary first-class male of the Tong family will definitely be his in the future.
"However, you are too lazy. You have to be under my nose before you dare to slack off. You should go back to the south study room and learn to walk."
Good guy, as soon as Kangxi said these words, all three generations of the Tong family were shocked!
Yuzhu had previously entered Nan Study, and his official title was: Zhi Nan Study, that is, he was the secretary on duty in Nan Study.
Learning to walk in Nan Study Room is completely different from that in Zhi Nan Study Room. It’s like a world of difference!
Nanshufangzhang is the official title of the Minister of Nanshufang. His status is similar to that of the Military Minister of the Yongzheng Dynasty, but his powers are slightly smaller.
The bachelors of the Han Dynasty cabinet in the Kangxi Dynasty would be embarrassed to call themselves Prime Minister or Zhongtang if they were not also responsible for traveling in the South Study Room.
If Nan Shufang learns to walk, he will be the Prime Minister of the country!
During the Yongzheng Dynasty, after the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department, the lowest-ranked military aircraft minister was often jokingly called: the curtain-raising military aircraft.
Hehe, Yuzhu, the Nanshufang student, is ranked second to the last Nanshufang minister, but far higher than the rest of the Nanshufang ministers.
As soon as Yuzhu returned home, Kangxi came. Tong Guowei and Longkodo didn't know the details of the Rehe Palace.
However, Yuzhu knew well that Kangxi deliberately wanted to win over him, maybe he already regretted deposing the crown prince, right?
Humph, after Kangxi deposed the crown prince, he summoned several groups of Manchu nobles in succession. I'm afraid the outcome of the meeting would be bad, right?
Even if Yuzhu thought with his feet, he would have guessed that Kangxi came out of the palace to look for him immediately. Maybe the Manchu nobles recommended Lao Ba as the crown prince, right?
To put it bluntly, Kangxi's decision to depose the crown prince at this juncture must have been due to Bai Mi Yishu's lack of consideration.
Now that the prince is deposed, the Manchu nobles must choose to take sides in advance in order to continue to maintain their glory and wealth!
Boss, long after Mingzhu was pulled down, he completely lost his qualifications to take over.
Moreover, when Kangxi deposed the crown prince, he publicly said: I ordered Yin Ti, Prince of Zhi County, to protect me well, and had no intention of making Yun Ti the crown prince. Yin Ti was impatient and stubborn by nature, so how could he be made the emperor?
Prince?
The second eldest son, Prince Yinreng, was finished and was detained in Xian'an Palace.
The third child is indeed very talented in literature, and he has also mastered the art of riding and shooting. However, he has three shortcomings, all of which are fatal.
Firstly, the third child’s mother clan is extremely weak and has no power, which is particularly important; secondly, the third child has a severe stutter and is considered disabled; thirdly, the third child has extremely low emotional intelligence and often accuses others behind their backs.
Heizhuang, among the Manchu nobles, his popularity and reputation are extremely poor.
The fifth and seventh children are all disabled, and the ninth, tenth and fourteenth children all support the eighth child. The thirteenth child is just a little transparent brother, and the power of his mother clan is not worth mentioning at all.
As for Lao Fifteen, Lao Sixteen, Lao Seventeen and Lao Eighteen, they are all the sons of Han women and concubines, so there is no need to say more.
As for the fourth child, he has been pretending to be the prince's party. Now that the prince has fallen, only the sick Manchu nobles will elect him to be the prince.
Moreover, the fourth child did not leave any room for anything, and he was known as a mean and ungrateful person in the court.
With such careful pulling, after Kangxi deposed the crown prince, he immediately faced huge pressure from the Manchu nobles to collectively elect Lao Ba.
After being in power for a long time, all he heard was flattering words. Kangxi inevitably became inflated and committed the same problem as Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, namely: overconfidence!
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty thought that An Lushan was just a good grandson who had no courage to rebel against the powerful Tang Dynasty.
With Kangxi's rich political experience, although he could see the situation clearly, he also had inexplicable hallucinations.
So far, Kangxi thought that he could still respond to a hundred calls and firmly control the political situation in the court.
Today, Kangxi took the initiative to come to Yuzhu. It was just the habit of veteran politicians who liked to reserve backup. He did not think that Lao Ba could threaten the imperial power he held.
The jade pillar is a knife reserved by Kangxi to chop Lao Ba!
Having dealt with Kangxi too many times, Yuzhu knew better than anyone else that as long as the military power of the Wuwei camp was not returned to him for one day, it meant that Kangxi was just pretending to trust him.
From the capture of Obai to the pacification of San Francisco, Taipingwan, and the personal expedition to Galdan, Kangxi has always firmly controlled the military power of the Qing Dynasty.
When the three descendants of the Tong family sent Kangxi off together, Kangxi specifically told Yuzhu: "You can't delay any errands in the South Study Room and the Household Department."
Kangxi spoke very vaguely, but Yuzhu understood it instantly.
What the old emperor meant was to ask Yuzhu to go to the South Study Room to learn walking in the morning and to work as an errand at the Ministry of Revenue in the afternoon.
"Hey." Yuzhu looked very respectful, but he was quite disapproving in his heart.
If Yuzhu didn't get back the lost military power, then he would be sorry. He would definitely sit on the sidelines and let Kangxi be tortured by the huge Ba Ye Party!
Today is different from the past. Now Yuzhu is qualified to make a choice and should not be the knife that Kangxi used to chop people!
The inertia of history is rolling forward. Due to Kangxi's overconfidence, a huge political whirlpool affecting the entire court and all Manchu relatives is about to happen unstoppably!
The battle to establish the crown prince has slowly begun!
