Ding You's treatment was completely different between Han and Manchu ministers!
The most important reason why the imperial court took such obviously different measures on the "Ding You" issue was obviously to stabilize the rule of the Qing Dynasty.
After all, for the Qing Dynasty, there were really too many Han ministers, but very few Manchu ministers.
If the Manchus were allowed to follow the same example as the Hanchens and adopt the method of "resigning from office and mourning for 27 months", I am afraid that the position vacated by the Manchus would have been occupied by the Hanchens long ago, which would inevitably lead to the rise of the Hanchens' power.
Therefore, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty's long-term stability, the Manchu ministers often did not go to "Ding You".
However, considering that Yuzhu was the number one scholar in Manchuria, he had to act as a minister, so he made an exception and stayed at home for three months.
Half a month later, Longkodo sent someone back. In addition to a reward of one hundred taels of mourning silver, he only left one sentence for Yuzhu: Take care of yourself and don't be too filial.
If the aunt's mother is dead but the biological father is alive, Yuzhu must obey his father's orders.
Because the big housekeeper in Shengjing told Longkodo's words in public, everyone completely understood one thing: Longkodo had hated his wife for a long time!
After the death of the little Hesheli family, the relationship between the old Tong family and the Hesheli family immediately dropped below freezing point. There was no longer any contact between the two families.
All fools know that little Hershey died abnormally.
However, the Hesheli family has been completely rejected by the emperor and has no strength to challenge the status of the old Tong family.
No matter how dissatisfied you are, you must endure it. Otherwise, greater divine punishment is likely to follow.
Yuzhu's courtyard is right next door to Tong Guowei's. There is only a moon gate between the two courtyards.
After dinner, Yuzhu, as usual, walked in all directions to accompany Tong Guowei to talk about ancient times.
As Tong Guowei gets older, he talks more.
Yuzhu sat down next to him, and Tong Guowei could talk non-stop for half an hour.
However, Tong Guowei turned it over and over again, and all he talked about was old millet and rotten wheat.
To be honest, Kangxi also has this problem now. Yuzhu is very used to listening attentively and never interrupts unless necessary.
Before Yuzhu won the first prize, he had never met Tong Guowei.
After Li Si'er followed Longkodo, Tong Guowei was indeed very angry.
When Yuzhu was born, Tong Guowei just pretended that he didn't know about it and ignored him.
However, everything has changed since Yuzhu selected Manchuria Number One Scholar.
Even if this person wants to gain the respect of his relatives, he must have strength.
Tong Guowei took a sip of tea and said slowly: "After March 7th, I will go to Changchun Garden to hand over the sign and apologize to my nephew in person."
Yuzhu couldn't answer the question, but he knew in his heart that the reason of death due to sudden illness would definitely not deceive Kangxi.
Kangxi has been waiting for the Tong family to give him an explanation.
According to the rules of the banner, a funeral must be held on March 7th. Either the funeral will be buried directly, or the coffin will be temporarily placed in a temple.
When the Qing soldiers entered the customs, cremation was popular among everyone from ordinary bannermen to Manchu dignitaries.
However, with the passage of peace and the deepening of the Hanization of the banner people, burial gradually became the mainstream among the banner people in Jingli.
When a bannerman from another place dies, the wealthy family will send his coffin back to Beijing.
Those who had no money would burn the corpse into ashes and put it into an urn. Once a year, the government would send it to the old residence in the capital for burial.
Little Hershey's matter may not be a big deal, but it's actually not a small thing at all.
After all, she is the wife of the current first-grade Jilin general and is qualified to deliver the sign alone. Please see the Empress Dowager.
Kangxi hated the Hesheli family so much that he could pretend to be stupid, but the old Tong family couldn't treat the old emperor as a real fool.
Although Tong Guowei has stepped down and has no real power, he is still the head of the old Tong family, the living ancestor, and the emperor's only living uncle.
To put it bluntly, Tong Guowei took care of Yuzhu's aunt, which was not only justified, but also helped Yuzhu a lot.
Of course, Yuzhu also knew very well that Tong Guowei had fundamentally solved the filial piety risks he faced, and the price of the transaction was definitely not small!
However, Yuzhu waited for a long time and never saw Tong Guowei's request.
Just when Yuzhu was somewhat puzzled, Tong Guowei suddenly said: "You don't have to worry too much. I care about the entire Tong family, not some unfilial descendants. Your uncles, uncles and cousins will help if they can."
.It’s really a mud lake that doesn’t have a wall, so don’t bother with it.”
"However, I don't have many days left, so let Xiao Tiezhui and Xiao Xuanyu spend more time with me, this bad old man." Tong Guowei obviously hopes that Yuzhu's legitimate sons will get close to his great-grandfather.
The mourning of an aunt's aunt is more important than Mount Tai. All the members of Yuzhu's family must come back to mourn and observe filial piety.
Therefore, Cao Chun led Xiao Tiechui, and Xiu Yun led Xiao Xuanyu, and they all moved back to Lao Tong's house.
As for Yuzhu's concubines and concubines, well, there is no way, they cannot be counted as human beings, and they are not even qualified to mourn and observe filial piety.
On the day of the funeral, from Tongfu Hutong to outside Dongzhimen, the funeral procession could be seen endlessly, and the whole place was covered with a vast white scene.
Along the way, all the families who were related to the old Tong family had specially set up sacrificial sheds on the roadside beside their houses.
On the way to mourning, the most tired person was the eighty-nine.
After all, Yuzhu was an adult. Even if he had to kowtow in front of every sacrificial shed, he could barely bear it.
Poor Eighty-Nine is only a few years old. No matter how weak his physical strength is, at this juncture, he must follow Yuzhu and kneel down one by one.
Otherwise, eighty-nine will definitely be poked in the spine and be called an unfilial and rebellious son.
When little Hesheli was still alive, Yuzhu never fulfilled his filial piety in front of her.
Unexpectedly, after her death, Yuzhu kowtowed along the way so many times that he lost count in his lifetime.
This is the so-called filial son and virtuous grandson.
During the burial, someone in the crowd shouted loudly, "What a shame. You are not buried in the ancestral tomb of the Tong family?"
Yuzhu had already heard it, but just pretended not to hear it.
Yuzhu's activities inside and outside the palace are naturally legitimate and legitimate, and no one can comment or criticize them.
Wei Zhu wanted to kill Liang Jiugong and had been holding it back for decades, but he never succeeded.
In the end, it was because of Yuzhu's action that Wei Zhu got what he wanted.
However, when the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole stalks behind.
Wei Zhu had been busy for a long time. Zhao Chang fell from the sky and picked the biggest peach. How could he not be angry and injured internally?
Xiao Tie Zhui and Xiao Xuan Yu stood side by side on the ground and bowed their hands politely, without any intention of treating Wei Zhu indifferently.
Wei Zhu saw the two brothers and thought of the one raised in the palace, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Compared with the two pure grandsons of the Tong family in front of them, the little brother in the palace is more like Yuzhu.
The old emperor kept the little brother in the palace and kept him by his side out of love and care. He didn't want anyone to use this opportunity to attack Yuzhu.
However, that little brother is not the emperor's eldest son, Sun Hongxi, so he is not allowed to show his face in front of others, lest his whereabouts be exposed.
"Mr. Zhu, long live my life, I have to tell you, it's time to rest, right?" Wei Zhu didn't want to be such a villain, but it was hard to disobey the holy orders.
Yuzhu was never afraid of offending the old emperor in trivial matters. He touched his chin and said, "Master Wei, please go back and report to the emperor. Just ask me to rest for another half month, okay?"
Wei Zhu waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, absolutely not. Long live the Lord said it himself, if you dare to take Qiao again, be careful of your butt blossoming!"
