Before Qianliang, Yuzhu arrived at Qianqing Palace, and Noorobu was waiting for him in the check-in room.
Seeing Yuzhu coming, Norob joked: "I thought you were so greedy for the beautiful wives and concubines at home that you wouldn't come?"
Yuzhu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Nuo, I'm a little late, I'll make you laugh."
According to the system, the imperial ministers should stay in Qianqing Gate in shifts.
After completing the handover, Norob hurried out of the palace, and Yuzhu took over the power of the imperial guard tonight.
As an imperial minister, Yuzhu does not need to lead the guards to patrol inside and outside the Qianqing Gate. That is the job of the first-class guards.
However, it was Yuzhu's duty to inspect the palace of Qianqing and outside the emperor's chamber.
Since becoming the imperial minister, Yuzhu's treatment in the Qianqing Palace has also increased.
Just outside the duty room, there were two young eunuchs standing. As long as Yuzhu was on duty in the palace, their daily life was taken care of by them.
To enjoy the treatment of being served by eunuchs, according to the general rules, one can only enjoy the special specifications of a clan with "eight points" or above.
However, the imperial ministers were too important and had a big bearing on whether Kangxi could sleep peacefully.
Therefore, the several imperial ministers who are currently serving have all received special orders and enjoyed the extremely high treatment of two young eunuchs.
The time for inspection had not yet come, Yuzhu was reading under the lamp, and Xiao Zizi came with a red lacquered food box.
"Jade Marquis, I have brought you the newly prepared supper in the dining room." Little Yezi cleverly called Yuzhu, and changed his name to Yuzhu from the previous title of "Master Manager" to "Yuhou".
Xiao Yezi, that is an old acquaintance.
When Yuzhu first entered the South Study Room on duty, the little eunuch who served the meal was Xiao Zizi.
In just a few years, Yuzhu has become the immediate boss of the eunuchs, while Xiao Zizi is still a classless little eunuch who provides meals.
Yuzhu put down the book in his hand and asked Xiao Ziye with a smile: "Are you still bringing food?"
Xiao Zizi had been receiving rewards from Yu Zhu for a long time, and the relationship was unusual, so he sighed and said, "To be honest with you, Marquis Yu, I entered the palace late, and my family has a poor financial background and cannot afford any money. Please respect your masters properly." "
Yuzhu nodded and smiled knowingly.
In this realm of the palace, the eunuchs only recognized money.
The eunuch system in the palace was intricate and confusing.
It was only after Yuzhu became the head of the House of Internal Affairs that he gained a general grasp of the eunuchs' situation.
In a nutshell, those with high grades have no real power, and those with real power are of low grade.
The Jingsi Room manages all the eunuchs. Its fourth-grade general manager, Zhao Chang, is the highest-ranking eunuch in the palace.
However, although he seems majestic, he has no real power.
Liang Jiugong, the general manager of the Qianqing Palace, was only a seventh-rank guard, but he was the real head of the eunuchs in the palace.
(Note: There is no final conclusion on the official positions of eunuchs in the Kangxi Dynasty. For the convenience of reading, the eunuch grades officially customized by the Yongzheng Dynasty are used. Hope everyone knows.)
Xiao Yezi is a eunuch in the Qianqing Palace, a proper person next to the old emperor.
Even Yuzhu, who was so powerful outside the palace, could only reward him with a little more money in private, but there was nothing else he could do.
After Xiao Zizi laid out the supper, Yuzhu still followed the old rules and placed a five-tael silver ingot in the red lacquer food box.
This silver reward has been around for a long time. However, it was only 2 taels at the time, and later it increased to 5 taels.
After finishing the supper, Yuzhu wiped his hands and washed his face. After tidying up his official uniform, he led four second-class guards with swords and began to patrol the Qianqing Palace.
The focus of the inspection led by Yuzhu was not to guard against assassins, but to prevent fires.
After a round of inspection, Yuzhu saw that the lights were still on in the old emperor's palace, so he walked softly to the door of the palace, stepped down, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, please arrange things early. "
"Is it Yuzhu? Go ahead and do your work, I will read Huizi's book later." Kangxi's instructions came from the palace.
"Hey." Yuzhu agreed and retreated.
In the middle of the night, Yuzhu saw that the lights were still on in Kangxi's palace.
It was too late at night, and it would be disrespectful if Kangxi fell asleep inside with the light on and was suddenly woken up.
This time, Yuzhu did not dare to go over to remind Kangxi, but quietly led the guards and retreated.
However, at the first moment of Yin hour, a loud noise suddenly came from the Tihe Hall.
Yuzhu, who was lying fully clothed on the kang, was not fast asleep, but just closing his eyes to rest his mind.
After hearing the police, Yuzhu stood up, took off the waist knife hanging on the wall, and pushed the door open.
The guards under Yuzhu were calm and still stood at their posts.
The eunuchs and maids in the Qianqing Palace had very strict rules around the emperor, so no one dared to shout and yell.
However, eunuchs from outside came one after another to Qianqing's door, banging on the door and shouting.
"The water has leaked, the body and the temple have flooded, and the flames have started to burn."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are in trouble."
In the palace, as long as a thousand taels have been paid, no palace door is allowed to be opened without the emperor's special order.
Yuzhu stood firmly on the steps in front of the Qianqing Palace and shouted sternly: "I am here. Guards, please obey the order. Anyone who dares to make loud noises or run around will be taken down together and severely punished!"
"Hey." Yuzhu came out to take charge of the overall situation, and the guards had a backbone. They followed orders one after another and began to control the situation everywhere.
The situation in Qianqing Palace was quickly brought under control, and the eunuchs and maids were all restrained in their respective rooms or dormitories.
However, the shouting outside the palace wall not only did not stop, but intensified.
Yuzhu estimated that Kangxi, whose sleep quality was very poor, should have been awakened.
So, Yuzhu handed the waist knife in his hand to the accompanying guards, walked quickly outside Kangxi's palace, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, my servant Yuzhu, I have something important to report urgently."
"Speak." Kangxi's displeased voice came from inside.
"Back to the emperor, I heard that the Tihe Palace was leaked. It is said that the momentum is not small." In order to ensure that Kangxi could hear clearly, Yuzhu did not speak very fast, almost speaking every word.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Huh, what does Ma Wu do for food?" Kangxi was obviously angry and said sternly, "Come in."
"Hey." Yuzhu pushed the door open and entered the palace, only to see Kangxi wearing a bright yellow thin coat and leaning on the pillow with one hand.
After Yuzhu entered, not only did he not panic at all, but he knelt down solemnly and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, is learning to walk. My servant, Yuzhu, respectfully wishes His Majesty's blessing."
Kangxi took a deep look at Yuzhu, then took out a gold-clad large order from under the bright yellow pillow, handed it to him, and ordered: "Go and kill those dog slaves who are shouting outside.
, took them all, and killed them all with a stick."
"Hey." Whatever the emperor said, Yuzhu could only do it, even if it cost more than a dozen living lives.
There is no way, this is a cannibal society, the imperial power is greater than the sky!
Just when Yuzhu backed up and wanted to go out, Kangxi said again: "Ma Wu has no courage to do anything, so I will leave all the important things of putting out the fire to you."
This time, Yuzhu did not dare to accept the order. Instead, he knelt back in front of Kangxi's imperial couch, kowtowed heavily, held his neck and said: "Go back to the emperor to put out the fire in the palace. There is a dedicated person in charge of it. Please forgive me for not daring to obey the order."
.”
Yuzhu didn't say it clearly, but his meaning was clear.
I am the imperial minister who leads the guards with swords. It is my only duty to protect the safety of the Emperor. For other matters, you should hire someone else.
Kangxi was so hard-nosed by Yuzhu that he immediately choked and rolled his eyes. He was so angry that he beat the bed and cursed: "You idiot, you idiot, I'm so angry!"
Unexpectedly, Yuzhu resisted life and death, but refused to put out the fire obediently.
Kangxi was so angry that he trembled all over, but he also knew that Yuzhu was indeed loyal to protect his master.
The relationship between the king and his ministers no longer lasts only a year or two, but lasts for several years.
Yuzhu was not Orundai. He rarely contradicted Kangxi.
However, once Yuzhu insists on his opinion, he is a stubborn person who is not afraid of death.
Kangxi took several deep breaths, suddenly laughed, and cursed angrily: "Idiot, you're so good at contradicting me. Huh, I'm punishing you by depriving you of breakfast. Go away."
"Hey." Kangxi didn't insist anymore, and Yuzhu accepted the order and retired honestly.
After going out, Yuzhu took the golden order, which was like my presence, and ordered the guards to open the door of Qianqing Palace and arrest all the eunuchs and maids who were shouting outside.
A total of seventeen eunuchs and maids were captured.
Yuzhu sent people to find people from the Shenxing Department and ordered them to gag the dozen eunuchs and maids, tie them to long benches, and kill them one by one with a cane.
Although Kangxi did not say the specific location of the execution, according to Yuzhu's guess, it should be in the square in front of the Qianqing Palace.
Well, these eunuchs and maids have grown hair on their courage and are just out of water. They dare to come to the gate of Qianqing Palace and make noises. If they don't kill a large number, how can they warn those who come after them?
Moreover, execution right in front of the Qianqing Palace will really have the effect of killing one person and serving as a warning to others!
So, a dozen long benches were placed in front of the Qianqing Palace, with a eunuch or palace maid tied to each bench.
Following Yuzhu's order, the execution eunuchs of the Shenxing Department raised their heavy sticks high and struck the eunuchs and palace maids hard on the buttocks.
Since Yuzhu gave the order to kill with a stick, no one counted how many blows he had struck.
"Pah, pah, pah..." The heavy stick hit the flesh hard, making a frightening muffled sound.
Soon, bright red blood began to drip from the bottom of the bench.
As time went by, the scattered blood drops gradually spread into streams of blood.
More than a dozen streams of blood flowed along the terrain, turning into thick blood snakes, gradually crawling towards the lower areas of the terrain, and converged into a shocking blood spring.
"Crack, click, click..." Accompanied by the sound of cracking bones one after another, it was obvious that the victim's hips and pelvis were shattered, and he would definitely not survive.
After the execution, the experienced people from the Department of Punishment dragged away more than a dozen corpses on carts and prepared to send them to a mass grave outside the city.
"Mr. Liang, tell the people below to bring water and clean everything here." Yuzhu called twice. Only then did Liang Jiugong, who looked pale as paper and looked flustered, hear his instructions clearly.
"Hey." Liang Jiugong knelt down on one knee and accepted his order obediently.
Wei Zhu, who was also watching the execution, couldn't help but smile coldly. Liang Jiugong, who was involved with the prince and Lao Ba, was like a grasshopper after autumn. How many days could he still be alive?
