As the deputy commander of the Han Army of the Zhenglan Banner, he must be accompanied by the counselors and left leaders, going door to door to check on the status of the show girls.
Even though Kangxi was already old, whoever dared to cheat on the draft girls would be waiting for a beating.
There are two famous families in the Zhenglan Banner Han Army, one is the Tong family and the other is the Li family.
The main direct line of the Tong family is the line of Yuzhu's great-grandfather Tong Tulai.
Because Kangxi favored his mother's clan, Tong Tulai and his descendants were carried into Manchuria with the Yellow Banner as a whole, thus making Tong Banchao famous.
However, Tong Tulai's brothers were not so lucky and could only continue to stay under the banner of Zhenglan of the Han Army.
As for the Li family, they were the first frontier general to surrender to the Qing Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, and were the descendants of Li Yongfang, the consort of Fushun.
During the Qianlong period, the "History of the Ming Dynasty" was supplemented with the biography of Erchen, and Li Yongfang and Hong Chengchou were both at the forefront of "Erchen·Jiabian".
The second ministers are divided into the A-class and the B-class. Those listed in the A-class are super traitors, equivalent to Wang Jingwei and his ilk.
In line with the principle of first outside before inside, Yuzhu, surrounded by his subordinates, went to the old house of the Li family.
According to the records of Zuoling's roster, Li Yongfang had nine sons. Except for the fifth son, Bayan, who was renamed to the Xianghuang Banner Han Army because of his high importance, the remaining eight sons were still affiliated to the Zhenglan Banner Han Army.
The relationship between the old Tong family and the Li family is actually quite deep.
Bayan inherited Li Yongfang's title, and his line became the direct lineage of the old Li family.
More importantly, when the Eight Banners exchanged Yi Huan, Bayan and Tong Tu Lai exchanged flag points.
Bayan took over the post of Gushan Ezhen of the Han Army of Zhengbai Banner, while Tong Tulai was transferred to Gushan Ezhen of the Han Army of Zhenglan Banner.
However, after Bayan was transferred to the Xianghuang Banner Han Army, his name became much better, but he lost his huge real power.
The old territory of the Li family, the Zhenglan Banner Han Army, became the foundation for the rise of the old Tong family.
Starting from Tong Tulai and ending with Tong Guowei, he has always firmly controlled the real power of the Zhenglan Banner Han Army.
Now, half of the real power of the Zhenglan Banner Han Army, after four years, miraculously skipped Longkodo and fell into the hands of Yuzhu.
The old house of the Li family is dominated by the descendants of Li Yongfang's second son, Li Shutai.
In the inner city, all the people living are bannermen.
The bannermen are all under the jurisdiction of the left leader, and there is no title of chief or chief.
When Yuzhu arrived at Li's house, the front door of Li's house was full of painters specializing in the Han army's Zhenglan banner, including pen-pasted painters, worshipers such as Tang A and other low-level officials.
Seeing Yuzhu coming, these people gathered together to greet him and said respectfully: "Minions, please greet me young master."
During the Lao Nu and Huang Taiji periods, all the eight Manchurian banners’ Gushan Ezhen were banner owners, that is, serious slave owners.
After the Han army was organized, the eight banners of the Han army followed the local customs and followed their example. They then called Gu Shan'erzhen the banner master, that is, the slave owner.
The purpose of doing this is mainly to join the group, so as not to hinder the eyes of the rich and powerful.
The successive generations of the old Tong family were all Gushan'er Zhen or Dutong of the Zhenglan Banner Han Army, and Yuzhu was now the Deputy Dutong of the Zhengguan.
No one is a fool. Even if everyone dares not call Yuzhu his master, it would be appropriate to add the word "younger".
In this way, he respected the old Tong family, flattered Yuzhu, and complied with the rules of the Han army. He killed three birds with one stone!
These people were all screaming, and if Yuzhu held on to them, it would seem like they were making a fuss out of a molehill, so he had to hold his nose and admit it.
Li Yongfang's son generation is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are quite a few big shots.
For example, Li Yongfang's second son, Li Shutai, successively served as governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, crown prince's Taibao, and cabinet bachelor. It can be said that he held a high and powerful position.
It is worth mentioning that Li Shutai was one of the great heroes who assisted Kangxi in regaining Taiwan. He was awarded the hereditary and replaceable Ashanihafan (Baron) for his military exploits.
However, today, as Li Yongfang's sons gradually pass away, the old Li family has also declined.
The first person to greet Yuzhu was Gang Liudai, the eldest grandson of Li Yongfang's third son Gang Atai.
Gangliudai himself had a lowly official position and was not worth mentioning. However, Gangliudai's biological aunt was the An concubine Li who was the leader of the concubines in the early years of Kangxi.
An Bi's only living nephew immediately raised Gang Liudai's status.
"Bless me in the small middle hall." Gang Liudai greeted Yuzhu Zhaqian with a good sense of etiquette.
There was no other way. Although Concubine An had a high status, her death was unclear. The Li family did not dare to tell or ask, so they could only pretend to be ignorant.
Even a cat raised by the emperor is extremely valuable and superior to others, let alone An's concubine?
Anyway, as long as Kangxi did not punish the Li family for the death of An Bin, the Li family must worship the descendants of An Bin as bodhisattvas.
After Yuzhu was invited into the main room, under Gang Liudai's arrangement, the girls of the Li family, including those who were still breastfeeding, all lined up and came in one by one to show Yuzhu a look.
As the current head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yuzhu has presided over the draft and knows the powerful relationship involved, so he does not dare to be careless at all.
As he grew older, the old emperor's body and bones gradually deteriorated, and the number of times he turned over the cards became less and less.
In the past year, as far as Yuzhu knew, the old emperor basically bought the brand of De Fei.
Concubine De was already old and beautiful, and she was obviously no longer able to sleep with him, that is, chatting with the old emperor.
However, even Kangxi was already beyond his capabilities and could no longer bully the show girls.
However, the more Kangxi's health deteriorated, the more he cared about the talent show girls.
This involves complex psychological distortions.
The jade pillar is in the center, and the painters of this banner, pen-stickers and worshipers, are lined up on both sides, holding paper in one hand and writing brushes in the other.
When a girl from the Li family comes in, the painter will comment on it and then record it in the eucalyptus.
"The third granddaughter of Duke Tai, the Grand Scholar Li, is the thirteenth girl of the Li family. She is twelve years old, short in stature, dark-skinned, with a long face and broken eyebrows..."
After recording the appearance on the eucalyptus, the left collar of the person must step forward and carefully identify it to see if it is the thirteenth girl of the Li family.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After the left leader signs and signs in public, the leader of the tube must also come forward to identify the authenticity and sign the certificate.
In the end, Yuzhu made the final decision.
Yuzhu is an old bureaucrat, and there are almost no tricks in officialdom that he doesn't know about.
The veteran takes action, one is worth two.
Yuzhu's identification method was very simple, but extremely practical. He ordered people to randomly find five male servants and five maids from inside and outside the courtyard of the Li family, and asked them to present gifts to the thirteenth girl of the Li family.
You must know that pretending to be a beautiful girl can cause you to lose your official position or lose your head in the worst case. It can only be done on a small scale, and it is absolutely impossible for all the servants in the family to know about it.
The servants of the Li family came in one by one to salute. Yuzhu sat aside and carefully observed their expressions.
If there was anything slightly amiss, Yuzhu would launch a detailed interrogation.
As soon as this move came out, the accompanying leaders and left leaders all praised the jade pillar to the sky.
"Young Master is truly an unparalleled genius!" For a moment, there was a flood of flattery.
After careful identification, it was finally confirmed that there were four girls in the Li family who were over thirteen years old.
Yuzhu's orders were recorded in detail one by one in the eucalyptus, and the resumes of three generations of ancestors and grandchildren were issued.
The Han Army of the Zhenglan Banner, under the first counselor and second left leader, was Li Shi, the fourth granddaughter of the former great scholar Li Litai, and his father Li Bi, the head of Honglu Temple.
Let’s live together!
The old Li family is a distinguished family, so Yuzhu came in person to express his respect.
As for the rest of the small households, it was not Yuzhu's turn to visit them personally.
However, Yuzhu was still exhausted to the point of death.
Because the old Tong family under the Han Army of Zhenglan Banner is really too big.
There is actually a story behind why Tong Banchao took shape.
The old slave was abused by his stepmother in his early years and was forced to live in Han Dynasty, where he became Tong Chunxiu's son-in-law.
Tong Chunxiu, whose full name was Haha Na Zhaqing, was also known as the concubine's direct descendant of Fujin, and was known as Taizu Yuanfei in history.
She gave birth to two sons and one daughter to the old slave, namely, the eldest son Chu Ying, the second sons Daishan and Dongguo Gege.
What is more interesting is that starting from Tong Chunxiu, the three hereditary princes of Yuzhu and Daishan can all be related by blood.
A large family has many benefits.
However, for Yuzhu, it was miserable.
Under the entire Zhenglan Banner Han Army, Yuzhu's cousins in the next room are countless.
For example, Governor Tong Yangliang of Xuanda, Governor Tong Yangjia of Guangdong and Guangxi, Governor Tong Yangju of Guangdong, Governor Tong Yannian of Gansu, Governor Tong Dai of Zhejiang and Fujian, Governor Tong Kangnian of Guangdong, General Tong Guoyao of Fuzhou, Governor Tong Guoxiang of Anhui, Governor Tong Guoqi of Zhejiang, Governor Tong Guozhen of Jiangxi, Governor Tong Guonai of Fujian,
Tong Yuxiu, the governor of Gansu, Tong Fengcai, the governor of Henan, etc.
There are elders in these Tong family's houses who are still alive, so Yuzhu has to go from house to house to ask for an audience.
Otherwise, you will definitely attract disrespectful gossip!
After visiting each house, Yuzhu suddenly discovered that perhaps the Tong family's genetic modification was more effective. Among the ten girls, there were five beauties.
The ratio of beauties in the Tong family is already quite high.
However, in his later years, in order to limit the power of the Tong family, Kangxi deliberately did not admit the daughters of the Tong family into the palace.
During the Yongzheng Dynasty, after the less lustful fourth child killed Longkodo, no more Tong girls were elected to the palace.
It was not until the Daoguang Dynasty that the daughter of Tong Jia Shuming'a, the third-class Cheng'en Duke, was re-established as queen, that is, Queen Xiaoshencheng.
After rigorous review, the various archive materials of the draft girls were bound into a volume and submitted to the Ministry of Household Affairs for review.
However, Yuzhu is not only the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but also the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He is simply the cheating leopard king.
Someone really wanted to cheat, so they thought about opening up Yuzhu's joints and gave up the sign in private.
There is no way, all fools know that the old emperor is getting older day by day, and he can hardly read the signs of young beautiful women.
As long as the daughter of a powerful family is elected to the palace, she will immediately face the misfortune of being a widow.
On this day, as soon as Yuzhu returned home, Sun Chengyun came.
Sun Chengyun still had the old habit of accepting the bribes he deserved and telling the truth to Yu Zhushi.
However, the name Sun Chengyun said this time really shocked Yuzhu.
