After the old emperor got off the chariot, he stood with his hands behind his hands, his face as usual, and he did not show any anger.
However, Wei Zhu's vest was already completely wet, and her calves had some uncontrollable cramps and trembled from time to time.
Don’t do bad things, don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.
Yande's death had nothing to do with Yuzhu, so why should he be afraid of it?
The reason is actually very simple. Wei Zhu's decree before he had time to announce was actually to hand Yande over to the clan for punishment.
Logically speaking, the layout of Lao Ba, Lao Ninth and Lao Fourteen is perfect and reasonable.
Yuzhu led troops into the mansion, Yande died, and was suspected of harming the clan, could he escape?
It’s easy to muddy the waters!
However, Lao Ba and the others had forgotten the old emperor's true feelings.
As the old emperor got older, what he feared most was the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and he could not ignore the military power in the capital.
Tuoheqi’s lesson was too profound!
After Kangxi entered the gate, he saw Dezuo kneeling by the roadside.
"Can I trust you?" Kangxi walked up to Dezuo and looked down at him condescendingly, "Tell me the truth, how did Yande die?"
De Zuo kowtowed heavily and said: "Back to the emperor, Yan De was stabbed to death with a dagger from behind."
He is not stupid, the emperor is obviously angry, and if he doesn't tell the truth, it will definitely bring disaster to the entire family.
Kangxi nodded and took a long breath. Yuzhu knew something was wrong and quickly lowered his head.
"Yuzhu, you personally investigate this case thoroughly to clear your own grievances." Kangxi indeed focused on Yuzhu.
Wei Zhu, who lowered his head a step later, couldn't help but feel horrified. Yuzhu was like a roundworm in Long Live Lord's belly.
Yuzhu knelt down quickly and said sincerely: "Back to the emperor, this case involves one of my subordinates. I kindly ask you to leave your post temporarily and go home for investigation."
The soldiers of the infantry yamen surrounded the general's mansion, leading to Yande's death. This is an indelible fact.
The clan members were secretly killed at home. This was the first case since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.
Kangxi did not get angry, but asked Yuzhu calmly: "You really don't know who did it?"
Yuzhu kowtowed heavily and whispered: "Back to the emperor, if I come to investigate this case, no matter how fair and just it is, your name as a holy king will be stained with dust."
"Oh, I understand. Co-author, you mean that such a big matter was not investigated?" Kangxi increased his tone and asked Yuzhu sternly.
Yuzhu is the victim who was framed. If he insists on continuing the investigation, sooner or later he will find out the head of Lao Ba, Lao Ninth or Lao Fourteen.
If we really got the irrefutable proof, alas, things would not end well for Kangxi!
Do you really want to force the old emperor to become the first emperor to kill his son in thousands of years?
This is simply trapping the Holy King into injustice!
Yuzhu's brain was filled with water, so he encouraged Kangxi to continue the investigation in the name of helping him vent his anger.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking so boldly. As long as you continue to dig deeper, your reputation will definitely be bad." Yuzhu boldly threw a big black bullet out and said with unfinished meaning, "If you insist on having your own way, you will definitely have a bad reputation."
If you want to do something that makes people happy, I kindly ask you to be relieved of all errands and simply be out of sight and out of mind."
"You..." Kangxi was so angry that he was trembling all over. He raised his finger and pointed at Yuzhu's nose and cursed sternly, "You have no father, you are crazy and shameless, get out, get out, get out."
Yuzhu was also stubborn and took off his hat directly and took a few steps back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yuzhu turned around, he quickened his pace and actually ran away all the way!
Wei Zhu stared at Yuzhu's back in stunned silence. He was so arrogant!
Hi, after Yuzhu returned to Qingfu, he immediately ordered people to pack their luggage and prepare to go to Cidi in Xiaotangshan to escape the summer heat.
In the Qing Mansion, Qingtai didn't care about the affairs of the back house, and Qing Lin, his aunt, was also very comfortable being served by Yu Zhu, so he didn't force him to have a few rooms for concubines.
Anyway, since I already have a direct grandson called Xiao Tiezhui, the matter of taking concubines is not urgent.
However, in the Qing Mansion, the two palace ladies whom Kangxi rewarded last time have been staying quietly in the side courtyard.
Yuzhu had never touched their bodies before, so this time he just took them to the Tangchi to enjoy life.
By the time Wei Zhu came in, good guys, all the gifts had been packed and loaded into the carriage.
Wei Zhu walked further in and saw Qian, who had just left the second door, accompanied by two beautiful palace maids.
It seemed that if Wei Zhu had arrived even half a step later, they would have already boarded the car and were ready to set off.
Qian didn't know Wei Zhu, but the two former maids recognized General Manager Wei at a glance. They hurriedly knelt down, waved their handkerchiefs, and said softly: "Please be safe, General Manager Wei."
"Oh, you actually recognize me?" Wei Zhu rolled his eyes slightly, stopped and asked them pleasantly.
"Returning to the Chief Manager of Wei, my surname is Natara, and she was born in Shangsanqi Baoyi. My Ama is the foreman of the imperial kitchen in Qianqing Palace, Baitang'a, Sailing."
"Oh, your Ama is actually that old glutton in Sailing, haha, we are an old acquaintance."
"What about you?" Wei Zhu asked another former palace maid with interest.
"Back to the Chief Manager of Wei, my surname is Bai Jia, and she was also born in Shangsanqi Baoyi. My Ama is Yu Qian, the official of the Finance and Food Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Wei Zhu is more familiar with this Bai Jia family's Ama and can always meet him.
Why?
The Qianliang Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for "managing the three flags, silver and two offices". All affairs of the imperial estate, including land tax, royal serfs, livestock, poultry, etc., are under its jurisdiction, which is very smooth.
Under the background of my country, Huangzhuang is the most powerful hardcore crop of this era.
The Baylor gentlemen in the late Qing Dynasty were probably too poor to afford good tea, but the village bosses in the Imperial Manor could afford to eat well and drink spicy food.
Even if Yuan Xiangcheng usurped the Qing Dynasty, Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Beijing was still the main source of food in the palace.
Objectively speaking, from the time Yuan Xiangcheng came to power in the Qing Dynasty until Feng Huanzhang drove Puyi out of the palace, the Beiyang warlords truly gave preferential treatment to the Qing Dynasty and its descendants.
However, after Puyi was expelled, there was a rumor in Beijing at that time: Emperor Xun fell and Huan Zhang was full.
Wei Zhu refused to go inside, and dragged the Tara family and the Bai Jia family to talk nonsense about the past and the present.
The Tara family and the Bai Jia family were both women from the palace, so they naturally knew how powerful Wei Zhu was. No matter how unhappy they were, they could only chat with Wei Zhu with a smile.
Qian, who was ignored by no one, looked on coldly, and was surprised to find that Wei Zhu seemed to have done it on purpose, right?
The Tara family and the Bai Jia family were both born in Shangsanqi, and they were the palace ladies awarded to Yuzhu by Kangxi, so they naturally had the status of concubines.
To put it bluntly, no matter how arrogant Yuzhu was, he would not dare to treat the maids rewarded by the emperor as slaves.
Qian's case was different. She was dressed like a second-class girl, but she always stood with her head lowered and held her breath, never looking around.
It is strange to say that Mrs. Qian just stood there with her head bowed quietly, her back straight, like a lady among all the ladies, giving people a unique feeling of standing out from the crowd.
"Ahem, what about you, who's your name?" Qian didn't want to cause trouble at all, but Wei Zhu still caught his eye.
"Returning to the Chief Manager of Wei, my servant's surname is Qian. By the grace of my master, I have given her the name Yinglan, and she serves the pen and ink in the study."
Wei Zhu was about to ask again when he heard the old emperor's voice coming from behind him.
"The loose pines reflect the late night, and the spring pond is moss-green. This poem is wonderful, and Wei Yingwu is worthy of the name of a talented man."
"This servant respectfully wishes your Majesty's blessing." Bai Jia and Natala were both women who had seen the world. As soon as they heard the familiar voice, they knelt down without even raising their heads.
Wei Zhu also bowed and stepped aside. How dare he block the old emperor's sight?
Qian was immediately dumbfounded. She had learned a lot of etiquette and rules, but they only applied to the Hanchen family.
How should one salute the Manchu emperor when he meets him?
Mrs. Qian immediately panicked. At the critical moment, she simply changed her mind and followed Bai Jiashi's example, kneeling down to salute.
"My servant comes to see your Majesty, Your Majesty." Qian was panicked, and then made the mistake of saying goodbye.
Kangxi walked slowly to Qian, stretched out the folding fan in his hand, and touched Qian's chin, forcing her to raise her pretty face.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Kangxi suddenly sighed: "I feel pity for him when he is covered in the scent of books. Yuzhu, this little bastard, has great eyesight and is really good at robbing people."
After hearing this, Mrs. Qian couldn't help but feel horrified, and her delicate body could not help but tremble slightly.
Originally, Qian still had a sense of luck, wondering if he was looking for an opportunity to reveal his life experience to the supreme emperor?
This is Qian's only chance to escape slavery!
As a result, Kangxi's word "grab" shattered all Qian's hopes, and her limbs went limp and she knelt on the ground.
"Wei Zhu, please remember, Yinglan is the daughter of Shangsanqi, who is in charge of Yebu Nai, and I will give it to that little bastard Yuzhu today."
"Hey." Wei Zhu quickly asked Zha Qian to receive the oral instructions. He knew very well that Long live the Lord was trying to appease the angry Yuzhu.
Alas, in the entire Qing Dynasty, among the tens of thousands of officials, apart from Yuzhu, who did Long Live the Lord ever comfort with such humiliation?
Qian Yinglan was almost paralyzed with fear!
Kangxi wanted to use Yuzhu to help control the military power in the capital, so why would he care if Qian was the wife that Yuzhu had snatched away?
In this cannibalistic society, what the old emperor cared about most was whether his throne was secure.
In order to achieve this big goal, Kangxi could sacrifice anyone's interests at will.
Anyway, Qian is not Kangxi’s daughter or daughter-in-law, so who cares about her life and death?
Yuzhu was having a bad temper again. Kangxi felt that he knew Yuzhu very well. Alas, he had to give Yuzhu a little sweetness to avoid being too embarrassed!
Yuzhu knew about Wei Zhu as soon as he showed up.
However, Yuzhu was very calm and deliberately sat drinking tea and delayed going out.
What Yuzhu said just now was indeed very intense, which made Kangxi difficult to accept for a while.
However, Yuzhu's approach was that he did not want to make the matter worse and make the old emperor commit a tragedy of father and son killing each other.
As long as the investigation continues, one of Lao Ba, Lao Ninth and Lao Fourteen will definitely be arrested.
Killing a clan member without permission is definitely a serious crime that requires being beheaded alive.
Once the truth is revealed to the world, won't this force the old emperor to kill his own son?
Do you still want the good reputation of being the most benevolent gentleman throughout the ages?
