Chapter 285 The storm is coming

The second day of the first lunar month is the day when married women return to their parents’ homes.

Cao Chun didn't want to go back to Cao's house, so Yuzhu just pulled away and accompanied Xiuyun back to Fucha's house.

Because my son was still young, the accompanying team was extremely large.

Two carriages carry the wet nurse and the servants, and three carriages carry Xuan Yu's daily small items. For example, diapers, bellybands, small cloaks, etc.

When we arrived at the door of Fucha's house, our uncle Fucha Anlin was already waiting outside the gate.

"Hey, my sister-in-law is here, please come in, please come in." An Lin touched Yuzhu's shoulders politely.

An Lin worked as an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was sent to Changchun Garden, where he served as a seven-grade pen post.

As for Yuzhu, he has always held the title of chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and can be regarded as An Lin's boss.

In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are only ministers in charge and no deputy ministers.

Then, Yuzhu, the sitting doctor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is similar to the deputy general manager and secretary-general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and has the power to supervise all ordinary fifth-grade doctors.

In this sense, Yuzhu can be regarded as the direct boss of his father-in-law Chang De and his uncle An Lin.

An Lin, the eldest uncle of his mother, picked up Xuan Yu who was sleeping soundly and could not let go.

Xiuyun was afraid that An Lin would hug her too tightly and hurt the delicate baby, so she complained: "Brother, please don't hug her too tightly."

An Lin chuckled and said, "Sister, did you get it wrong? I was the one who raised you when you were little."

Yuzhu smiled hoarsely, his uncle An Lin was a straight man and quite likable.

After entering the house, Yuzhu paid homage to his father-in-law, Changde, and his mother-in-law, Irgenjueluo.

Ever since Xiuyun gave birth to Xuanyu, Changde and Yiergen Jueluo were both extremely happy.

Hehe, from now on, Xiuyun's position in the Tong family is as stable as Mount Tai.

According to the customs of this era, if Xiuyun delayed for a few years, she would remain childless.

Changde and Yiergen felt that Luo Shi's hair was probably restless and turning gray in a hurry.

"Uncle, please sit down and have a sip of hot tea to warm yourself up." Changde greeted Yuzhu with a pleasant look.

Irgenjue Luo Shi hugged Xiao Xuanyu and looked left and right, but couldn't get enough of it.

The beautiful little grandson was so close at hand, but Ergen Jueluo kept holding him and refused to let go.

Chang De looked around and saw that his heart was itching like a cat scratching him.

The bed on the kang was very thick. After Xuanyu woke up from playing, Irgenjue Luoshi protected his small waist and let him stand on the kang.

Seeing his little grandson trembling, shaky and immature, looking unsteady on his feet, Chang De couldn't bear it any longer. He took Xuan Yu into his arms and kissed her hard several times.

At this time, An Lin caught Irgen Jueluo's look and asked Yuzhu: "Sister-in-law, is it inappropriate for the eldest brother to name Xuan Yu?

Yuzhu smiled. Of course he understood. An Lin was just reminding him out of kindness.

"Brother, our family doesn't need to pay too much attention to the bad rules of scholars in the south. In fact, this child's name was not given by me, but by the emperor. Although the emperor only gave him the character "Xuan", I thought about it,

He probably wants me to be named Xuan Yu. When he goes to school, the word "yu" will be missing, that's all." After Yu Zhu's explanation, everyone in the Fucha family felt relieved.

Everything is subject to the emperor's will. The emperor has approved it. Who dares to make irresponsible remarks?

In fact, when the bannermen first entered the customs, they had no restrictions when it came to naming their next generation. They could choose whatever they liked.

Later, due to the gradual Chineseization of the banner people, they gradually moved closer to the customs of the Han people.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, which is called "Shunxing Day" by the banner people, a corresponding number of lamps must be lit according to the total age of the family in order to ensure longevity for everyone.

Starting from the 13th day of the first lunar month, one hundred and eight lamps are lit and then extinguished until the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, which is the end of the Spring Festival.

The last excitement of the Spring Festival is the Lantern Festival. On this day, bannermen light lanterns, worship their ancestors again, set off fireworks and firecrackers, and eat Lantern Festival.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, unless there are special circumstances, the Spring Festival is considered to be over. People once again choose to lift the "sealed day" according to the Qintian Monitoring Calculation, and governments, schools, etc. also begin to resume operations.

On the first day after the seal was lifted, Kangxi issued an edict, instructing all Manchu and Han ministers above the fifth rank to recommend the candidate for the new crown prince.

Yuzhu understands better than anyone else that the serious political consequences of deposing the crown prince will soon reach its climax after full fermentation.

At this moment, Tong Guowei sent people to call Longkodo, Qingtai and Yuzhu back to the Duke's Mansion.

Tong Guowei had eight sons and more than twenty grandchildren, and these were the only three who were truly useful.

"Third brother, what do you think?" Tong Guowei wanted to ask Yuzhu what he thought, but there was no reason to go straight past Longkodo.

"Amma, I hold the military power in the capital. No matter who I choose to support as the new crown prince, is it inappropriate?"

After listening to Longkodo's explanation, Yuzhu couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Historically, apart from mistaking the fourth son, the most astute minister in the entire later years of Kangxi was none other than Longkodo.

Although Kangxi was not a saint, he was an extremely experienced politician.

Longkodo was able to deceive Kangxi for more than ten years, and his political vision and skills were definitely superior to others.

Tong Guowei nodded with great satisfaction and said with a smile: "The third child is a sensible person."

When Qingtai saw Tong Guowei looking towards him, he smiled and said, "Amma, I can't possibly recommend the fifth master, right?"

Seeing that Qingtai was not willing to tell the truth, Tong Guowei did not force him, so he turned to look at the focus of the day, Yuzhu.

Yuzhu cupped his hands at Tong Guowei and said calmly: "Mafa, what is the emperor most afraid of?"

Tong Guowei was stunned for a moment, and then said very frankly: "All the officials are working together to make a move."

"You are still as old as ginger, and what Ma Fa said is true." After flattering Tong Guowei, Yuzhu said pointedly, "As long as our family doesn't unite to support a certain prince, we can do whatever we want."

"Amma, Yuzhu has spoken out his son's heart." Longkodo immediately took over the conversation, lest Tong Guowei become confused and arrange for everyone to support Lao Ba.

Tong Guowei lost his temper, glared at Longkodo angrily, and cursed: "You are just being clever. If you had Zhuer's vision and knowledge, I would be buried in the grave, do you still need to worry about these things?"

Yuzhu quickly lowered his head to avoid laughing out loud, which would be difficult to deal with.

Tong Guowei's lack of words is really ridiculous.

Once you get your hands on power, it's hard to get rid of it.

Although Tong Guowei talks lightly, in fact, he has never served as the chief bachelor of Manchuria so far.

Among the Ba Ye Party, Tong Guowei is nominally the leader. In fact, Ma Qi, who is also in charge of the household department as a bachelor, is the most important minister.

Previously, Tong Guowei's highest position was that of minister of political affairs and minister of bodyguards.

After the establishment of the South Study Room, the meeting of kings and ministers to discuss government affairs, as well as the mechanism of the eight Baylors to discuss government affairs, had long been abandoned.

According to Yuzhu's observation, Tong Guowei's support for Lao Ba was not only to diversify the family's risks, but was also concerned about the throne of Manchuria's chief academician.

Tong Guowei was not lewd, but his desire to gain power over the world never really went away.

Qingtai has never been close to Tong Guowei, but his position is extremely critical.

Are you kidding me? The official department is full and Zuo Shilang's throne can play a far greater role than Longkodo in a period of political stability.

Qingtai's ability to firmly hold his current position of real power would have been impossible without the strong support of Lao Wu.

The three generations of Lao Tong's family have really taken their own positions.

Among them, Yuzhu has the lowest official position. However, the advantage of being able to see the emperor almost every day is not even comparable to that of Longkodo.

Tong Guowei called all three people back, most wanting to pry open Yuzhu's mouth to know the emperor's true thoughts.

Yuzhu is not stupid, let alone Tong Guowei, even if Long Ke asks him more, he will not reveal the slightest bit of Kangxi's true feelings.

No matter who the next emperor is, Tong Banchao will be a thing of the past!

For the old Tong family, it is enough to have a jade pillar to carry the big banner, establish a household at the head of the family, and protect the safety of the whole family!

Yuzhu only wanted to enjoy the miraculous feat of restoring the crown prince to himself in order to gain greater trust from Kangxi and thus obtain greater real power.

During dinner, Tong Guowei stared at Yuzhu angrily.

Yuzhu, who was sitting at the next table, just pretended not to see him, ate when he needed to, drank when he needed to, and his mental quality was extremely good.

In the bannermen's aristocratic families, it is important that grandparents and grandchildren sit at different tables.

Yuzhu was his grandson, and even though Tong Guowei kept inviting him to join him at the table, he refused to go over and sat alone at the table next to him.

Longkodo stroked his beard and chuckled. His precious son was very smart, how could he be fooled by Mafa?

Qingtai was also extremely satisfied with Yuzhu's humble performance.

Qingtai and Longkodo both belong to the concept of being the old sons of banner people. When they get older, sitting at the same table with their biological father and drinking a few glasses of wine with their biological father is also a way of fulfilling their filial piety.

Yuzhu, the grandson, is separated by a generation. If he dines at the same table, father and son sit at different tables, and the rules of grandparents and grandchildren sitting at different tables are in vain.

Isn't it embarrassing?

Last year, during the Empress Dowager's Thousand Autumn Festival, Kangxi was so excited that he danced in public to the palace music "Dancing Letters".

This is the so-called colorful clothes to entertain relatives!

Kangxi's on-the-spot performance immediately pushed the joyful atmosphere of the celebration to its climax.

According to historical records, this celebration "disappeared in great joy".

Ever since Kangxi issued his decree, memorials for electing Lao Ba as the new crown prince flooded into the Qianqing Palace like snowflakes.

Yuzhu was originally on duty in the palace, leading a team, and he could see very clearly that in front of Kangxi's imperial case, there was almost no room left for the pile of papers supporting Lao Ba.

What followed was that Kangxi's appetite decreased day by day.

Moreover, the lights in Kangxi's palace were often lit all night.

In the spring of the forty-eighth year of Kangxi's reign, a huge political storm was about to unfold, and it was destined to involve all the important officials of the dynasty.

The night before the answer was about to be revealed, Yuzhu, who was working in the duty room, was called into the palace by Kangxi.
