Chapter 377 Lets see who is the best at pretending?
For everyone under the banner, the most important festival in the twelfth lunar month is the eighth day of December, commonly known as the "Laba Festival", also known as the "Magic Weapon Festival".
When outside the customs, on the day of Laba Festival, the bannermen only soaked in "Laba vinegar" and cooked "Laba meat", and then distributed six rolls to relatives to enjoy together.
After the Qing army entered the customs, the Eight Banners disciples gradually became Chinese, so they cooked Laba porridge and officially made their debut.
Laba porridge is not only a seasonal delicacy, but also a good health food, especially suitable for maintaining the spleen and stomach in cold weather.
Since the 30th year of Kangxi's reign, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs will set up more than a dozen large pots in front of the Xianfu Palace to cook Laba porridge.
Moreover, while the porridge is being cooked, eminent monks should be invited to chant sutras.
Then, the old emperor distributed the cooked Laba porridge to the princes and ministers to show the world that the emperor and Manchuria were blessed and shared the blessings.
In recent years, due to the severe stimulation of Prince Yinreng, the recipients of Kangxi's gift of Laba porridge gradually expanded to include academicians, ministers and ministers among the Han officials.
Yuzhu likes spicy food, but especially dislikes sweets. Therefore, I don’t know how much brown sugar has been added, but he is afraid that he will not be willing to touch Laba porridge that is not sweet.
After coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Yuzhu returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
However, when I first entered the door, I happened to meet Lao Ba, Lao Jiu and Lao Ten. The three of them walked out talking and laughing.
"Yuzhu, a humble servant, please be in peace with the Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Lords." Yuzhu stepped aside and saluted with great respect.
As a veteran in officialdom, Yuzhu only needs to bow his head and salute if he meets Lao Ba alone.
But the problem was that the reckless old man was also present. In order not to cause trouble, Yuzhu strategically took a step back.
After all, the eighth child is Baylor, the ninth child is Beizi, and the tenth child is the county king. He is no longer the empty-headed brother he used to be.
Leaving aside Lao Ba, Lao Jiu and Lao Ten suffered greatly at the hands of Yuzhu several times.
"Hey, who do I think you are? You are the extremely handsome manager of Yu Da." Lao Jiu endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back and mocked Yu Zhu with cold words.
Well, this is an insinuation that Yuzhu is too beautiful and looks like Mr. Longyang who sells his butt.
Yuzhu has long been cultivated into a spirit, how can he care about such a small stimulation?
What's there to argue with Lao Jiu? We have long been mortal enemies.
Yuzhu simply smiled stupidly and did not answer the question, letting Lao Jiu flick his poisonous tongue and spray out venom.
Lao Ten was instigated by Lao Jiu and suffered a lot from Yuzhu, which was even more serious.
"Yuzhu, why don't you just watch the porridge and run around?" After Lao Shi suffered a lot, he finally became smarter and knew how to catch Yuzhu's pigtails.
Nowadays, Lao Ba has become the Supreme Supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, just overtaking Yu Zhu.
Lao Shi pointed to his nose and called his name, and Yu Zhu had to reply.
"Your Majesty, Prince of Huidun County, has humbly obeyed the emperor's instructions to find Lei Jinyu and discuss the important matter of expanding the Jiujing Sanshi Hall in Changchun Garden." Yuzhu said it very politely, but in fact, his tone was very strong.
I'm on an errand, old ten, can you take care of it?
After all, we were in the palace, so Lao Shi couldn't have a riding whip in his hand, and Yu Zhu wasn't afraid of him being violent.
Lao Shi was a guy without quick wits. His fat face turned red, his eyes rolled around in anger, and he hurriedly went to see the military advisor Lao Jiu.
Lao Jiu knew in his heart that Yuzhu would never dare to fabricate his will. Obviously, it was true that Yuzhu came to Lei Jinyu.
Moreover, after Prince Yinfeng's seal of supervision was deactivated, it was at the critical moment when he was deposed, so it would not be easy to cause trouble.
It is the privilege of the emperor's own son to verbally humiliate the jade pillar, and even the gods will not do it.
You can't, Lao Jiu scolded you, and Yu Zhu punched you, right?
However, Lao Jiu is also a sensible person. He has suffered big losses several times and knows that Yuzhu is not a soft persimmon that he can easily manipulate.
At this time, Lao Ba smiled indifferently and said gently: "Yuzhu, go ahead and do your business. Prince Dun has a short temper, so please be patient."
"Hey." Yuzhu knew in his heart that Lao Ba was unusually gentle.
But what's so scary about Yuzhu?
To put it bluntly, Lao Ba's people impeached Yuzhu. The more they impeached Yuzhu, the more the old emperor favored and trusted Yuzhu.
Yuzhu waited for Lao Ba and the others to leave first, but Lao Ba waved his hand and told Yu Zhu to go first.
After repeated pushing and shoving, Yuzhu couldn't resist Lao Ba, so he had to take the first step.
Yuzhu had just taken two steps when something suddenly fell out of his sleeve.
Lao Shi had the best eyesight. He recognized the object at a glance and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.
At this time, Lao Jiu also saw the object clearly, and couldn't help but gasped, "Zi."
Lao Ba was a little short-sighted and thought it looked familiar, but he was also a little unsure, so he turned to Lao Ten and asked: "Brother Ten, is this Jin Piao Xiao Ling?"
"Bago, yes, why does Yuzhu have such a thing?" Lao Shi asked Lao Ba very strangely.
Lao Jiu sighed and said, "You don't have to ask, Khan Ama must have rewarded the jade pillar. Huh, it must be a sharp weapon to use against us."
There were two kinds of golden approval orders around Kangxi.
One is the Golden Order, which has the effect of being personally present. Except for the deployment of troops in accordance with special orders, you can do anything.
The other type is the Golden Order, which can only be used once and is limited to transmitting the emperor's special oral instructions. After use, it must be returned to the emperor's hands.
Yuzhu slowly squatted down, slowly picked up the small golden order that fell to the ground, and then walked away without looking back.
Lao Ba stared at Yuzhu's retreating back for a long time, and then sighed softly: "You are so smart and difficult to deal with, Yuzhu Qing!"
"Brother Bage, what do you mean?" Lao Shi didn't understand, so he asked Lao Ba.
"Pah." Lao Jiu angrily flipped open the folding fan in his hand and said coldly, "Humph, he is silently warning you and me. Anyone who dares to use force, especially a whip, will definitely end up in a bad end."
"How dare this bitch slave threaten this man?" Lao Shi's nose was so angry that he scolded Yuzhu angrily.
Lao Ba watched with cold eyes. Despite Lao Ten's aggressive attitude, he was already timid in his heart.
If others dared to threaten Lao Shi in this way, Lao Shi would have already gone up and slapped his big ears.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Unfortunately, that person is Yuzhu, the person who is the most beloved of the old emperor and cannot allow anyone to touch him.
Lao Shi was a fool, but Lao Ba saw through Kangxi's thoughts.
Even if they unite to depose the crown prince, the old emperor is still wary of the Ba Ye Party.
Lao Jiu took Lao Ba's look and went to persuade Lao Ten, who was very unconvinced.
"Tenth brother, don't be rough with him. Otherwise, if he asks you to go back home and study behind closed doors for three to five years, it will be very uncomfortable." Lao Jiu guessed Kangxi's intention faster than Lao Ba.
Thoughts, both inside and outside his words, were still full of traces of provoking Lao Shiji to hate Yuzhu.
The small golden order given by Kangxi to Yuzhu was, to put it bluntly, used to deal with Lao Jiu and Lao Ten.
Moreover, it could not be a beheading order, it was probably a disguised form of imprisonment.
As the prince's elder brother, Tianhuang Guiwei, was imprisoned in the palace and could not come out to move around. To be honest, it was a hundred times more uncomfortable than ordinary people in prison.
This is mainly due to the psychological gap. The disparity is so great that it makes people unbearable.
For example, take Lao Shisan in history. After being imprisoned, his body, which was as strong as an ox, collapsed when he was released.
Alas, even a great hero is as afraid of loneliness as snow!
What happened at the gate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was witnessed by many people.
The classic scene of Yuzhu and the three princes secretly fighting against each other. This kind of news spread very quickly as if it had its own wings.
No, even before Yuzhu came out of the hot sample room, the news had already spread throughout the entire House of Internal Affairs.
Bacina had a lot of money in his pocket, a wide network of people, and he was an old housekeeper, so he quickly came to Yuzhu.
"Mr. Zhu, my disciples heard that you quietly disgraced the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Masters in public?" Bachina didn't have a son to take over, and he had earned enough money, so he devoted himself wholeheartedly to Yuzhu.
under the door.
These days, the mentality of a family with a son inheriting the family business is completely different from that of a family with no heirs.
All in all, without a son to inherit the gold mine, his ambition is more than a hundred times smaller, and his mentality is relatively peaceful.
Yuzhu did not answer Bachina's question, but asked him: "Ba Lao, while the renovation project of Tihe Hall has not officially started yet, are you interested in changing your job?"
Bachina smiled and said sincerely: "Mr. Zhu, my disciples are all so old, what else can I be reluctant to part with? In a word, I will do whatever you want."
"Very good." Yuzhu took out a bright yellow booklet from his arms and handed it to Bachina's hand with a smile.
Bachina opened the document and took a closer look. It turned out that it was a document asking him to be transferred to the infantry commander's yamen and appointed as a doctor.
At the end of the fold, there is a flying dragon and phoenix dancing in red ink on the back of the paper: Yes.
Even if it was burnt to ashes, Bacina knew this word.
This is the handwriting of Long Live Lord.
"Ba Lao, the Eighth Master is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and our people have to stay out of their way for the time being." Yuzhu did not explain in detail, but just touched on it.
Bachina was relieved, and Zha Qian was extremely happy and said: "Thank you, Lord Zhu, for your great kindness."
He has made enough money and is thinking about how to get rid of the right and wrong place in the Construction Department.
If Bacina had a son, it would be a different situation. He would rather lose his head than give in to someone better.
The gold mountain under your buttocks must be left to your own son to inherit. This is human nature.
Seeing that Bachina immediately agreed to leave the Construction Department, Yuzhu nodded secretly, if you give up, you will get something.
Only by giving up the money that can still be made can we save the head on the head and the family foundation that has been lost!
It's a pity that most stupid people are greedy for profit and only know how to advance but not retreat.
In the end, it is really a shame to die with a ruined reputation and a bad death!
Kangxi, who had extremely good ears and eyes, also heard about this. He couldn't help but smile and said to Wei Zhu: "Look, this is a real clever ghost."
Wei Zhu understood everything, but he never dared to say that he had understood the emperor's thoughts.
He just looked at the old emperor helplessly, looking completely ignorant and stupid.
