Traveling on horseback was too tiring, so Yuzhu always liked taking boats.
When returning to the capital to report on his work, Yuzhu boarded the ship from the Xining Official Ship Wharf as he had come, followed the Huangshui River to Lanzhou Prefecture, then bypassed the entire Hetao area, landed at Baodou, and took the land route.
Since he did not bring troops, horses or food with him, Yuzhu returned to the capital very quickly. He received the order in February and arrived in the capital in mid-March.
According to the rules of the imperial court, foreign ministers cannot return directly to the government after returning to Beijing.
After handing over a sign to see him at the gate of the palace, Yuzhu had to stay in the Guanyi on the outskirts of Beijing to wait for the emperor's summons.
Only after your Majesty's visit can Yuzhu go home.
As soon as the Yuzhu sign was handed in, the old emperor called him into the Qianqing Palace.
Except for Wei Zhu, there were no outsiders in the room.
"Old man, you miss me so much."
As soon as Yuzhu saw Kangxi, he trotted over, knelt at Kangxi's feet, reached out and hugged one of the old emperor's legs, not to mention being affectionate.
"Oh, you, you, you are a general, and you are still so clinging to me?" Kangxi looked at Yuzhu with joy, raised his hand and stroked his back, and touched him several times before he agreed. give up.
Ever since he won the first prize in the examination, Yuzhu gradually showed his prominence in front of Kangxi.
It is no exaggeration to say that Yuzhu was a young upstart cultivated by Kangxi.
Moreover, Kangxi was both Yuzhu's cousin and his biological uncle, so he was always much closer emotionally than outsiders.
Yuzhu hugged Kangxi's leg and shook it gently a few times. Then he kowtowed heavily and said loudly: "Deputy General Manager of the Xining Garrison, I, your Majesty Yuzhu, respectfully wish your Majesty's peace."
No matter how they are relatives, they are always kings and ministers.
After proper expression of true feelings, the national gift must not be neglected!
Seeing how sensible Yuzhu was, Kangxi couldn't help but smile and said, "Get up and let me take a good look at you."
Kangxi looked at Yuzhu carefully for a while, and chuckled: "Look, our fair-faced handsome scholar is about to turn into a red shrimp."
Yuzhu smiled naively and said, "It would be nice to have a little tan. I am very handsome. My skin is so white that I look like a girl. No one is afraid of me."
Kangxi smiled dumbly, pointed at Yuzhu's nose, and said, "I still like you to be whiter, it looks pleasing to the eye."
Yuzhu immediately understood that if he returned to Beijing to report on his duties this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to return to Xining again.
People who understand each other so well don’t need to talk things through at all.
"How's the hammer?" Kangxi ignored the business and focused on Yuzhu's son.
"That boy, he can eat and sleep every day, but he is full of energy. If the girls and women are not careful, he will wiggle his way to the door and try to sneak out of the house..." Yuzhu really feels sorry for his son, Iron Hammer. He knows many life habits very well and can answer them fluently.
Kangxi laughed and said: "Just like Lao Shiba, that boy is so naughty. Dozens of people can't even watch him when they look at him."
Two fathers talk a lot when they mention their beloved son.
Looking at the much tanned Yuzhu, Wei Zhu thought to herself, Long live the Lord's love for Yuzhu, just like the elders of the family love the sensible juniors, the kind of love that comes from the bottom of their hearts.
It is no exaggeration to say that compared to many careless adult princes, Kangxi loved Yuzhu more.
After talking about his son, Yuzhu went on to fully report the topographic map of Qinghai.
Qinghai was caught between the Qing Dynasty and Junggar. Kangxi paid special attention to it and asked questions very carefully.
At the end, Kangxi said: "I sent you to the west just to get a clear understanding of Qinghai's geographical reality. Unexpectedly, you did even better than I expected, very good, very good."
Taking advantage of Kangxi's happiness, Yuzhu reported to Kangxi every detail of the training of Ma Qingfang's three hundred reserve soldiers.
Wei Zhu stared at Yuzhu's back, sighing secretly in his heart, Yuzhu is such a smart guy!
After long-term observation, Wei Zhu discovered that Yuzhu never went behind Long Live Lord's back and was doing mischief in secret.
Let's just talk about Yuzhu's training of three hundred reserve soldiers. Several months ago, someone reported it with a secret report.
As for Yuzhu, he had submitted a memorial beforehand, and afterwards he dared to speak clearly in front of Long Live Lord. It can be said that he dared to act and take responsibility!
Alas, such an upright Yuzhu is in stark contrast to the prince and eighth master who like to be maggots in private!
After Yuzhu fully explained the matter of preparing troops, Wei Zhu saw the gesture made by Lord Long Live and quickly took out the decree he had prepared long ago from his left sleeve.
"Yuzhu listens!"
"Your Majesty Yuzhu respectfully listens to the edict." Yuzhu quickly knelt down and listened honestly to Kangxi's new arrangements.
"The cabinet hereby entrusts General Jingxi, Yuzhu, the deputy general manager of the Xining garrison, to the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the second-class Yongyi son of the Jin Dynasty hereditary, and the deputy leader of the Changchunyuan guard army. I hereby express my gratitude."
"Your Majesty Yuzhu, I take the edict to express my gratitude." Yuzhu was very satisfied. The 500 military power became 800 military power. The strength he controlled was obviously greatly increased.
In fact, Wei Zhu had a decree on both sides of his sleeves. The one on the left was to promote him to a high position, while the one on the right was to deprive him of military power and demote him to Fengtian Prefecture as the Prime Minister.
The difference is that when Yuzhu arrived at the imperial court, he did not tell the truth about training reserve soldiers!
This is of the same nature as US President Clinton’s zipper scandal.
Clinton flirted with a female intern in his office. When things got serious, he wisely admitted his mistake publicly, and the U.S. Congress let him go.
If he continues to refuse to admit it, it will be a serious problem of personal misconduct. Not only will he be impeached and removed from office, he will also be held criminally responsible.
No matter what era, choice always outweighs talent!
No matter how talented you are, if you are on the wrong team, don't blame fate for being so cruel!
More than 800 direct descendants trained by Yuzhu in Xining became Changchun Garden's peripheral garrison. He immediately realized that Longkodo's nine admirals could not be saved.
As Yuzhu expected, almost at the same time, Longkodo received the imperial edict that he was going to Baoding Prefecture to serve as the Governor of Zhili.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for the throne of the Nine Admirals, Tuo Heqi will be reinstated.
Just from Kangxi's personnel arrangements, we can see that he is indeed a sophisticated politician.
Yuzhu returned to Beijing to report on his work, and his honest attitude won Kangxi's trust.
Following Yuzhu's appointment as the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the control of the military guards of Changchun Garden, Longkodo was transferred out of the capital.
In this way, the Fengtai camp and the Long family father and son were in charge of the Eight Banners and Green Camp military power in Gyeonggi Province. They were restraining each other and no one could dominate.
Today's Tong Jia family, due to the rise of the jade pillar, all three generations of the family have become powerful officials.
The entire family is like a burning fire cooking oil, extremely dazzling.
The old Tong family now has a minister of state affairs (Tong Guowei), a Manchurian yellow flag-riding minister of bodyguard (Elundai), two powerful governors (Longkodo and Qingtai), and a general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Changchun Garden guard.
There are also several second- and third-rank officials with real power.
In addition, Tong Guowei and Elundai are both first-class men, and Yuzhu is a second-class son.
The most wealthy family of relatives in the Qing Dynasty, who is the next to the old Tong family?
Since Longkodo was transferred from the throne of the nine-door admiral, Yuzhu actually surpassed everyone in the Tong family in terms of real power and influence in the old Tong family.
Because being the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is really not comparable to ordinary positions.
After the Qing army entered the customs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs established was actually the framework of a small imperial court. Although the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs.
The imperial court of the Qing Dynasty was divided into six departments, while the Ministry of Internal Affairs had seven departments and three courts.
Except for the Qingfeng Division, the other six divisions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs actually have a one-to-one correspondence with the six imperial ministries.
Because the Manchurian bannermen generally believed that entering the Central Plains was just a matter of good luck and that it would be difficult to secure a stable position. They had always been thinking of grabbing a handful and leaving.
When forced to withdraw from the customs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs just replaced the six ministries of the imperial court, and could seamlessly connect the central management functions of the small imperial court in Manchuria.
According to historical records, when the Qing army entered the pass, the total force dispatched was more than 40,000 people from the Eight Banners of Manchuria, 15,000 people from the Eight Banners of Mongolia, more than 30,000 people from the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and more than 20,000 people from the Three Shun Kings.
There are about 10,000 people in the outer vassal under the banner, and they are known to the outside world as 200,000.
Who would have thought that there were only 100,000 Eight Banners soldiers. After entering the customs, the number of soldiers and horses increased, and finally they actually secured the country.
After leaving the palace, Qingtai and Qinglin happened to go to Guangdong to take up their posts. Cao Chun was still in Xining. The Qing Mansion was empty, so Yuzhu returned to Long Mansion.
After Xing paid homage and met Li Si'er, Li Si'er immediately grabbed Yuzhu's hand and said happily: "Brother Zhen, your Ama has been appointed as the governor of Zhili, and I will be the governor's wife. I am so happy."
Can't close my mouth from ear to ear.
Yuzhu understood immediately upon hearing this that Li Si'er was planning to follow Longkodo to Baoding to enjoy the pleasure of the governor's wife.
Fortunately, Li Si'er is gone, and Yuzhu and Xiuyun just close the door of their house and live a quiet life.
After Yuzhu told Li Si'er about taking over as the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Li Si'er regretted it on the spot.
"Forget it, let your Ama go to Baoding. I'm still happy to live by your side."
Yuzhu knew very well what Li Si'er was most taboo about, so he deliberately lowered his voice and whispered: "Eni, how can you not go to Baoding? What if, in order to flatter Ama, someone sends a little vixen to Amma...
..." He deliberately stopped halfway up the mountain, waiting for Li Si'er to understand.
"That's right, I, Li Si'er, have been guarding the man for half my life, how can I take advantage of that little vixen?" Li Si'er immediately understood that he must keep a close eye on Longkodo and not let him get into trouble.
"It's just..." Li Si'er looked at Yuzhu eagerly. Yuzhu understood instantly and smiled, "Well, all the treasury is sealed and the bank is locked. No one is allowed to touch it."
Li Si'er smiled with satisfaction and said, "Well, it's still my brother Zhen who knows how to care about me the most."
Finally, Li Si'er remembered and asked Yuzhu: "General manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, what rank is he? Do you have enough oil and water?"
Yuzhu said with a smile: "The grade is not high, just the third grade. However, as long as my son sits in this position, even if he is not greedy, he will hand over at least 200,000 taels of silver to you every year as pocket money.
.”
This was what Li Si'er was waiting for. She was so happy that the muscles on her face hurt from laughing!
