After helping the old emperor back to the palace, Yuzhu took out two 100,000 taels of silver notes from his sleeves and held them in front of Kangxi with both hands.
"What does this mean?" The old emperor was stunned, a little confused.
Yuzhu fully explained the Cao family's intention to choose a girl from the Ma family as their eldest daughter-in-law.
After Kangxi heard this, he smiled and said: "You are so sincere, and you didn't hide anything from me. It just so happens that you have been greatly wronged today, so I will reward you with this money as pocket money."
Yuzhu quickly said: "Isn't the Tihe Palace in trouble? You just need the silver. Since you have rewarded me, I will temporarily lend it to you to build the palace. Can it be done?"
"Lend it to me?" Kangxi laughed and praised, "I am rich all over the world, how can I be short of such a small amount of money? Alas, I appreciate your filial piety. Hey, I asked you to take it and spend it as you like, so just take it.
, If you dare to make any more noise, believe it or not, I will slap your big ears and scratch you?"
"Hey." Yuzhu said goodbye with satisfaction. When he walked back to the door, he suddenly said, "Old man, come back, may I treat you to Zhizi barbecue?"
"Haha, okay, after eating barbecue, I will take you to visit Yuncuifang." Kangxi waved his hand and dismissed Yuzhu.
"Oh, by the way, after you have been busy for this period of time, I will let you go to the border area, live in eight seats, mount a horse to manage the army, and dismount to care for the people."
Just when Yuzhu was about to exit the palace gate, he suddenly heard Kangxi drop a big bomb.
Yuzhu understood immediately after hearing this that he had gained 80% of Kangxi's trust, which was indeed a sign that he would be reused.
With Yuzhu's current rank, he could be appointed as a second-grade cabinet scholar and infantry commander, but it would be difficult for him to be appointed as a minister of the First Department.
The Manchu ministers of the Qing Dynasty all held real decision-making power, and they were by no means empty show-offs.
There is no way, Yuzhu's qualifications are very shallow, this will take time to polish.
Releasing Yuzhu to serve as governor of a province is equivalent to letting him go out of the capital to gild.
As long as he has made a name for himself in the local area, after Yuzhu comes back, he can serve as a minister and commander of the infantry, or even as acting minister.
The emperor has certain principles and rules for employing people.
If so, Yuzhu has been staying in the infantry commander's office. Although he is a confidant, his development prospects have been greatly restricted.
After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, Yuzhu leaned in the carriage, his heart as clear as a mirror. The old emperor was worried that his body was in danger and wanted to speed up the arrangements for his funeral.
It can be said that very few emperors since ancient times have been able to live for more than sixty years.
Kangxi, who ascended the throne at the age of eight, reigned for fifty years and is already fifty-eight years old this year.
Objectively speaking, Kangxi has surpassed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who reigned for fifty-four years, and became the longest-reigning emperor in history.
Because of this, on this occasion when the second prince is deposed, it has become extremely urgent to select a successor to the empire as soon as possible.
Lao Ba definitely missed.
The third, fourth and fourteenth elders, Kangxi could only choose the next emperor among them.
As for the infantry commander after Yuzhu went abroad, hehe, Yuzhu was very sure that he would still be Longkodo!
Kangxi was already old, and there were very few confidants whom he could fully trust and who could be given military power in the capital.
In addition to Yuzhu, there are many others in Longko.
Among the governors of various provinces, the most prosperous one is the governor of Jiangsu, followed by the governor of Zhejiang, and then the governor of Guangdong.
However, it was the governor of Gansu or the governor of Sichuan that Yuzhu was thinking about.
The reason is actually very simple. In the first snowy battle, the Eight Banners troops were transferred from Jingzhou and marched from western Sichuan.
Of course, during this invasion, the Qing Dynasty suffered a disastrous defeat in which the entire army was wiped out.
If Yuzhu takes office as the governor of Sichuan, he will have the opportunity to intervene in the course of the war and look for a good opportunity to gain prominent military exploits.
Only with the continuous expansion of the new army, to at least more than ten thousand people, can Yuzhu be able to influence the future situation.
Kangxi went to Tangshan Hot Spring with the Empress Dowager and stayed there for more than ten days.
After returning, Kangxi issued an order to stop Prince Yinreng's seal.
Yuzhu understood at a glance that this was a clear signal to the second-wasted prince.
Last time, the prince's confidant Ah Jintai led the Mongols to attack Changchun Garden, which greatly hurt the old emperor's heart.
This time, after the Tuohe Qi Banquet case, many generals were implicated.
In the morning, when Yuzhu was handing over to Norobu, Wei Zhu came and asked him to see the old emperor.
Kangxi did not have breakfast and only had a few pieces of pastries. While wiping his mouth, he asked Yuzhu: "What's happening near the capital?"
This is a very broad question, and people who don't understand the emperor's thoughts will definitely give the wrong answer.
Kangxi was referring to whether there were Mongols sneaking into the suburbs of Beijing.
Yuzhu said confidently: "Back to the emperor, I am only worried about the garrison in Fengtai, but I am not afraid of the Mongolian attack."
"Well, I miss Xiao Xuanyu. You can bring him to see me tomorrow."
"嗻."
The next day, after Yuzhu was on duty, he took Xiaoxuanyu to pay homage to Kangxi.
As soon as Kangxi saw Xiao Xuanyu, he beckoned him to him, took his little hand, and asked kindly: "Have you ever read any books?"
"Back to the emperor, I have read the Three-Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames and Thousand-Character Classic."
"Oh, who taught you this?" Kangxi glanced at Yuzhu subconsciously.
Yuzhu just giggled but did not dare to speak.
"Your Majesty, I was taught by my slave Enie." Xiao Xuanyu didn't know why the old emperor asked so, so she answered truthfully.
Before coming to see Kangxi, Yuzhu carefully warned Xiaoxuanyu.
In front of the old emperor, you must not be clever and say whatever you know. You are not afraid of saying something wrong, but you are afraid of deliberately lying.
This is what is called, serving the king with sincerity.
This is what Yuzhu himself did. Even if he stole from Cao Yi, when Kangxi asked, he confessed truthfully.
After dealing with Kangxi for so many years, Yuzhu has felt the pulse of the old emperor.
In a nutshell, if you confess to Kangxi, you will be lenient. If you lie, you won't lose your head, but you will lose trust and lose your military power.
"Oh, does your Ama like you?" Xiao Xuanyu was still young, and Kangxi deliberately teased him.
Xiaoxuanyu said in a sweet voice: "Back to the emperor, my Amma really likes me."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Oh, why do you like Fa?" Kangxi became interested and deliberately led Xiao Xuanyu to a wrong place.
Xiao Xuanyu pouted her mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "As long as my Amma comes back from outside, I can't sleep with my Enie."
"Haha, is this happening? Your Ama is so bad, he actually robbed your forehead, do you want me to help you beat him?" While Kangxi was talking to Xiao Xuanyu, his eyes swept over Yuzhu's body.
Yuzhu simply lowered his head, deliberately not looking at Kangxi.
Xiao Xuanyu shook her head and said: "You can't hit my Ama. If I break him, who will help me make toys?"
"It's not good to have too many toys. It's easy to become a plaything and lose one's ambition." Kangxi deliberately frowned and teased Xiao Xuanyu.
But Xiao Xuanyu said: "My homework is still good, and I can write big characters that are eye-catching."
Kangxi was immediately interested and ordered Xiao Xuanyu to write a line of large characters.
After Xiao Xuanyu finished writing, Kangxi took it over and took a look. Well, the wrist strength was insufficient and the writing was still shallow, but the shape was similar.
This is really rare.
"Well, Old Twenty, I still need a reading companion. I've looked at several children, but none of them are satisfactory, so Xuanyu is the one, right?"
Kangxi had already talked about it to death, how could Yuzhu shirk it?
Yuzhu had no choice but to pull Xiao Xuanyu and kneel down together to thank him.
The old twenty-year-old Yinyi was born in the 45th year of Kangxi's reign. He just turned six years old this year. His biological mother was the concubine Gao, who was born as a Han woman.
Yinyi is less than one year older than Xiao Xuanyu, and the two children happen to be studying together.
Since Kangxi paid special attention to the education of the princes and elder brothers, no matter how much he loved the prince, he had to enter the study room at the age of six and start studying.
When a prince is studying, besides haha beads, the most important thing is to choose a reading companion.
As the first Manchurian scholar appointed by Kangxi, Yuzhu's knowledge was definitely no problem.
Kangxi was a great scholar with outstanding eyesight. As soon as he saw Xiao Xuanyu's big characters, he knew that this child had a talent for reading.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that Kangxi deliberately rewarded him with his favor.
Objectively speaking, Yuzhu was Kangxi's favorite, and his son was Lao Twenty's companion. Hey, the old emperor had even arranged Xiao Xuanyu's future.
To be honest, Kangxi was really good to the confidants around him.
How many things did the Cao family commit?
Ga Li, the governor of Liangjiang, wanted to publicly impeach Cao Yin for losing five million taels of silver, but Kangxi always refused.
Cao Yin was ill and went to the doctor indiscriminately. First he gave money to the prince, and then to Lao Ba. Kangxi was also tolerant and burned the secret book.
Lao Twenty was born to a Han woman and was only six years old. Even if Kangxi lived to be seventy, Lao Twenty would still be sixteen.
In other words, the young Lao Twenty poses no threat to his brothers who hope to inherit the throne.
In the foreseeable future, Old Twenty can at least seal Baylor.
In this way, Xiao Xuanyu's role as Prince Baylor's companion is equivalent to being plated with a thick layer of gold.
The gold plated has a name, it is called: one of the royal family members.
In addition, Xiao Xuanyu has a powerful biological father, so does he still need to worry about his future?
Of course, Yuzhu could also understand the hint behind this action.
Before Yuzhu was about to lead his troops to go abroad, Xiaoxuanyu, as the most important eldest son of the old Tong family and the Fucha family, must stay in the capital together with his Eni.
From that day on, Xiao Xuanyu suffered a lot. Every morning, Xiao Xuanyu would get up early, accompanied by Wu Sheng, go into the palace and go to the study room to study with Lao Twenty.
A few days later, Xiao Xuanyu ordered people to pack the toys one by one and send them to the palace.
Yuzhu also understood that his son and Kangxi's son could talk and play well.
Over the years, Yuzhu invented many toys in order to entertain his children.
For example, see-saws, front-wheel-pedaled three-wheel strollers, etc., Xiao Xuanyu has also mastered them skillfully.
Kangxi must have known that Xiaoxuanyu brought something into the palace, but he never mentioned it in front of Yuzhu.
Yuzhu specifically asked Zhou Quan to help check these toys. He was confident that there was nothing wrong with them.
However, Yuzhu never expected that just over half a month later, Xiao Xuanyu would actually bring Lao Twenty into the Long Mansion.
