In the process of selecting girls, it is easiest to manipulate and have the least trouble. They always find people in the palace to help them lose their reputation.
Because if the leader in charge wants to commit fraud, too many people will be involved, and the risk of exposure will be extremely high.
Moreover, the court's punishment was also extremely severe, at least sending him into slavery as an armored man.
Being a slave to the armored man means that your wife and daughter will be enjoyed by the armored man reasonably and legally. Who can bear this?
It's different if you give up your marriage status. As long as you give up your marriage status in the palace, you can marry on your own in a reasonable and legal manner.
Others must not be aware of the overt and covert power of the fourth child in the palace, but Yuzhu is clear about it.
From his mother, Concubine De, down to Zhao Chang and Wei Zhu, they all help the fourth child.
As long as Yuzhu, the referee and athlete, gave the green light and Lao Si knelt down to ask Kangxi to marry him, Nian would not be able to escape the clutches of Lao Si.
In history, Lao Ba was so stupid that he didn't see the strategic value of Nian Gengyao. He sat back and watched as Lao Si accepted Nian as the side of Fujin, and took advantage of the situation to win over Nian Gengyao.
Objectively speaking, Lao Ba's failure was the inevitable result of strategic short-sightedness and was by no means accidental.
From ancient times to the present, except for Li Shimin, anyone who openly forms a party and covets imperial power will have a bad end.
Moreover, the more widely rumored the popular candidate for the prince is, the less likely he is to become a great candidate.
For example, it was widely rumored that King Wu Li Ke had the best chance of ascending to the throne. After Li Er's death, Changsun Wuji couldn't wait to frame Li Ke for treason. Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi smoothly killed the potential contenders for the throne.
The same example, there is the third child.
After the third child revealed his ambition to seize the throne, the fourth child, who succeeded in seizing the throne, endured him for eight years.
After Lao Thirteen passed away, Lao Si finally couldn't hold it back and found a bad excuse to deliberately ban Lao San until his death.
Zhou Quan's poisonous plan for Yu Zhu was to secretly find someone to remind Lao Ba that Nian Gengyao's position was extremely important.
As long as Lao Ba or Lao Fourteen takes action, they want to snatch Nian's family.
Yuzhu stood up to fight against the Eighth Prince Party. Even if he helped the fourth child, Kangxi would not suspect anything.
The calculations one after another are just appearances.
Looking at the problem from a strategic perspective, sooner or later a fierce conflict will break out between Lao Ba, Lao 14 and Lao 4.
According to Zhou Quan's plan, let's let Lao Ba, Lao Fourteen, and Lao Si fight fiercely.
The more ferociously they fight in the open, the more the jade pillar hidden in the dark will benefit.
Lao Ba is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it is easy for him to interfere in Nian's affairs.
Yuzhu smiled and said: "Zhusheng, we need to send someone to remind our Fourteenth Master. Well, if he can't even understand this, hey, why are you fighting for the big position?"
Zhou Quan closed the folding fan, cupped his hands and said, "Dong Weng's clever plan can bring peace to the world. Three families are competing for a girl. Let's see who can succeed?"
There is a daughter in the family and the three of them are fighting over each other. This will obviously disrupt the fourth child's original plan.
There is no other way, why would the fourth child actually want to have a showdown with Yuzhu?
If the water was not muddied and the fourth child was left to work in a hurry, would Yuzhu deserve to be named Tong Jia?
Nian is the daughter that the fourth son must compete for, and has extremely high strategic value.
As long as Lao Ba and Lao Fourteen understand the entire court situation and the situation in the northwest, they will definitely get involved.
After a fierce competition, no matter whose side Nian finally becomes, the biggest winner is Yuzhu.
Because the fourth child's ambition would be exposed to Kangxi's eyes.
Three sons competed for one daughter. Even if Kangxi was a fool, he could clearly see the intrigue.
Yuzhu deliberately seduced Lao Ba and Lao Fourteen. As long as the old emperor understood the logic behind it, he would definitely get chills in his chest.
Once the well-disguised fourth child was exposed, Kangxi could only trust and rely on Yuzhu even more.
This is the logic of the so-called family discord and outsiders bullying you!
As we all know, when there is constant internal strife in a house, someone must bring in foreign aid to help.
For example, Yuan Shao's three sons killed each other without any bottom line, and ended up taking advantage of Cao Ah Man.
There are actually many choices for Yuzhu.
By that night, as long as Yuzhu still has the military power and sees the right opportunity, he can support whoever he wants.
Not convinced? Come and fight!
Kangxi lived too long, and the options for the successor to the throne were much narrower.
Either the third child, the fourteenth child, or the fourth child.
Zhou Quan is so good at playing tricks and tricks, so it is only appropriate to give him the important task of ventilating.
On the second day, as soon as Yuzhu returned home from the Bujun Yamen, he learned the shocking news that A Ling's son Tardang'a galloped through the city on horseback and trampled two civilians to death.
Because the Baojia system that Yuzhu vigorously promoted after taking office has become increasingly perfect, Tardang'a was captured on the spot.
After Tardan was captured, he was still very arrogant. He openly said that he had just trampled two ants to death, so why make such a fuss?
In fact, Tardan was right.
These days, if the bannermen beat civilians to death, they would usually be exiled for a few thousand miles at most, without the possibility of losing their heads.
However, this kid Tardan revealed the unspoken rules, which caused public outrage and was surrounded by onlookers.
It is said that before the infantry patrol arrived, Tardan was punched several times and his face was bruised and bruised.
Yuzhu had already made up his mind, so he changed back to his official uniform and planned to go to the Yamen to interrogate Tardang.
However, as soon as Yuzhu walked to the door of the house, he saw Lao Shisan and Lao Shiqi, accompanied by Lao Shiqi's grandfather Chen Xi'an, arriving in a dusty state.
"Greetings to Master Thirteen and Master Seventeen." As soon as Yuzhu looked at Old Seventeen, he knew that things were complicated.
Why?
Lao Shiqi's direct descendant, Niu Hulu, was Tardan's biological sister.
Moreover, Old Seventeen and Old Thirteen have a close relationship.
How good is it?
After the news of the fourth son's accession to the throne in Changchun Garden came out, the seventeenth son actually fled back to the house and screamed openly. A disaster was imminent.
Hey, if Lao Thirteen hadn't racked his brains and said a lot of solid and good words, with Lao Si's iron fist, not only would it be impossible to reuse Lao Seventeen, but he would have been dealt with severely.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Aling'a is a member of the Ba Ye gang, and he has an old grudge with Yuzhu. Something happened to his youngest son, so he can only ask his son-in-law Lao Qi for help.
.
Yuzhu had a relationship with Lao Qi Shao, but Longkodo and Lao Qi's grandfather Chen Xi'an were secretly brothers.
Back then, before Yuzhu lost his soul, Longkodo was still thinking about asking Yuzhu to make haha beads for Lao Qi through Chen Xi's relationship.
It's hard to say anything outside. After entering the house, Lao Shisan took Yuzhu's hand and said, "Good brother, I've caused you trouble. Please help Zhou Quan."
Old Seventeen raised his hands and said: "Xiao Zhongtang, you are Old Eighteen's brother, that is my brother. Brother, I have heard Brother Thirteen say it countless times, brother, you are a loyal person, little brother
I admire you so much. Xiaozhongtang, please show me your noble hands and help make big things small and trivial things nothing. Now, let’s take these two thousand taels of silver and reward them to the brothers below.”
It must be admitted that Lao Shiqi's posture is very low, his speech is also very artistic, and he is very pleasant to listen to.
At this time, Chen Xichen put his head down and said sincerely: "Xiao Zhongtang, I, Old Chen, don't need to introduce me, right? We always meet over wine at my house. Xiao Zhongtang, I, Old Chen, can tell you something from the bottom of my heart.
Spare the place and spare the person. Aling'a said that as long as you are willing to show your kindness to Xiao Zhongtang, he will never dare to be your enemy again."
Yuzhu understood, and Aling'a also knew that he had offended Yuzhu, and was very worried that Yuzhu would turn a small matter into a big deal and make the big thing out of control.
The Ba Ye Party and Yu Zhu have long been at odds with each other.
Helping to severely crack down on the Ba Ye Clan was exactly where Kangxi needed Yuzhu the most.
Yuzhu knew very well in his heart that Lao Qi still lived in his elder brother's house and had neither sealed his wife nor moved out of the palace. How could he get so much money?
"Thirteenth Master, to be honest, I really can't accept Aling'a's money." Yuzhu's attitude was extremely determined.
Are you kidding me?
It was by attacking the Ba Ye Party that Yuzhu was able to stay in the emperor's heart and gain control of the military power.
If you accept Aling'a's money now, in the future, it will be yellow mud that falls into your crotch, and you can no longer explain it.
The friendship between Lao Shisan and Yuzhu is definitely unusual.
Yuzhu refused to accept the money, but Lao Shisan was not stupid and could understand Yuzhu's difficulties.
These days, as long as it involves the murder of a Manchu dignitary, the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple have no say. It must be negotiated by the Council of Ministers before being reported to the Emperor Kangxi.
Within the Manchurian elite, officials have always protected each other.
The Ba Ye Party has a large number of people and has an absolute advantage in the meeting of kings and ministers discussing political affairs.
Tardang, if it hadn't fallen into Yuzhu's hands, Aling'a wouldn't be afraid of anything.
However, who is Yuzhu?
The most popular person before the Holy Sage today, and the most favored minister.
Given Yuzhu's astonishing influence on Kangxi, if he wanted to trick Tardang to death, even with the support of the Council of Ministers, it would probably be a tragedy.
Old Thirteen sighed and said: "Good brother, I don't ask for anything else, I just want to save Tardang's life, okay?"
As soon as these words were spoken, it meant that Lao Shisan had a firm grasp of the current political situation and understood the mystery of Yuzhu's rise...
Old Seventeen also quickly raised his hands and said: "Brother, Xiao Zhongtang, I just want to spare his life."
"Xiao Zhongtang, I, Old Chen, have no intention of intervening in your decision-making. I just want to be as noble as possible." Chen Xi'an has a deep relationship with the Tong family, so his words went deeper.
Yuzhu had already made a decision in his heart, so naturally he couldn't let go.
He said calmly: "This is a serious matter. In my capacity, how dare I speak for the eighth master's confidant Aling'a? Thirteenth master, seventeenth master, old Chen master, I can only say that I tried my best to be considerate."
If it’s really not thorough, I hope you’ll forgive me.”
Yuzhu played a trick and deliberately did not mention Tardang'a, but talked about Aling'a.
Seeing that Yuzhu's attitude was very ambiguous, Lao Shisan regretted it. He thought less and actually brought Lao Shiqi and Chen Xihe together. How could Yuzhu confess to him?
Old Thirteen thought of an excuse and took Old Seventeen and Chen Xilan out. Then he hugged Yuzhu's shoulders, shook him hard, and sighed: "Good brother, Old Seventeen once helped me."
Dafa, I owe him a huge favor and I must pay him back."
After that, Old Thirteen turned around and left without saying another word.
After Lao Shisan left, Zhou Quan came in from the back and whispered: "Dong Weng, let so many people owe us a favor, it's a good situation. Otherwise, let's just let him go?"
Zhou Quan must have said this out of Yuzhu's fundamental interests.
However, Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "Zhusheng, you don't have to say anything, I have my own opinion."
Zhou Quan sighed softly and did not dare to persuade him any more.
Yuzhu is usually easy to talk to, always friendly, and seems to be a good old man.
However, Zhou Quan knew that Yuzhu had a typical temperament of being strong on the outside and strong on the inside.
In other words, once Yuzhu has made up his mind, there is no so-called brainstorming, but a stubborn and arbitrary approach.
Under normal circumstances, after the infantry command the yamen and arrest people, there are roughly three situations.
First, if it is a yellow belt or red belt crime, the Bujun Yamen has no judicial power and must be transferred to the Zongren Mansion, which will be the presiding judge and the Criminal Department will be the deputy judge.
Secondly, if there is a criminal case between the bannermen and the bannermen, or between the bannermen and the Han people, the Shuntian Prefecture has no jurisdiction, but the Bujun Yamen has the right to interrogate, or it can be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation.
In the past, as long as the cases did not have a very bad impact on human life, Yuzhu was too lazy to take care of them and basically handed them over to the Ministry of Punishment.
Why?
Under the general connivance of the Qing court, there were so many criminals among the bannermen that there were not dozens of them on any given day?
Yuzhu alone can't manage it with his meager strength.
Thirdly, neither the Shuntian Prefecture nor the Bujun Yamen have jurisdiction over civil disputes between bannermen and bannermen, or between bannermen and Han people, and can only be handed over to the Eight Banners Tribunal of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In short, the Qing government has used every possible privilege to protect the rights and interests of the banner people to the utmost extent.
After Yuzhu arrived at the Bujun Yamen, he immediately interrogated Tardang.
Unexpectedly, Tardang actually insulted Yuzhu in public: "Yuzhu, who do you think you are, how dare you interfere in my business? To tell you the truth, you are just Longkodo's illegitimate son, you are so arrogant? Wait until fourteen
Master...I will cut off your dog's head."
Tardan was not so stupid as to say something, but he didn't dare to say it openly.
However, among the dozen or so officials from the Bujun Yamen who were present, who didn’t understand?
Tardan's intention is clearly to wait for the Fourteenth Master to board Dabao, and I will kill you.
Very good. Not only did Yuzhu not get angry, but he smiled slightly and said: "Zhou Quan, I leave it to you. You must find out all the bad things he did. Do you understand?"
The word "ba" particularly emphasizes the tone.
Zhou Quan cupped his hands in understanding and said: "Don't worry, Dong Weng. I am in the bitter cold place of Ninggu Pagoda. During my free time, I have been thinking about a lot of interrogation techniques. Don't worry."
"Well, Tartang Anai is the younger brother of the first-class prince. You must follow the rules and serve him well." Yuzhu gently flicked his sleeves and walked away gracefully.
"嗻."
Not all of the officials present were Yuzhu's confidants. However, Tardang'a blatantly defied the authority of the infantry yamen and indeed caused public outrage.
Zhou Quan neither hit nor scolded him, he just hung Tardan by his feet in mid-air, and then pressed his head into the water tank.
In less than two-quarters of an hour, Tardan collapsed. All the moves that should be made and those that should not be made were taken.
After getting Tardang'a's autographed confession, Yuzhu called Niutai and ordered: "You lead the troops to guard the prison. Anyone who dares to break in without obeying the order will be killed without mercy."
"Hey." After Niu Tai accepted the order, he led his hundreds of New Army soldiers with guns and live ammunition to take over the prison in the infantry yamen.
"Come here, prepare your horses!" Yuzhu ordered, and the soldiers prepared their horses at the back door.
Yuzhu was careful and deliberately did not go through the front entrance of the Bujun Yamen. Instead, he left the city through the back door and went straight to Changchun Garden.
On this side, Yuzhu had just left the city. On the other side, Aling'a and Alsong'a left the house on horseback and rushed to Changchun Garden.
Unfortunately, when Aling'a arrived in front of Xizhimen, the area near Xizhimen was already crowded with a long queue of horse-drawn carriages.
The officers and soldiers of the infantry yamen, armed with swords and guns in their hands, searched each carriage one by one under the pretext of catching the rebels.
"A common man, Yuzhu, I have nothing to do with you!" Aling'a is also an old man. When he saw this posture, he knew that it must be an obstacle deliberately set up by Yuzhu by taking advantage of his power.
When Aling'a took a detour to Xibianmen and wanted to go out of town, "Boom." The message cannon that closed the door suddenly went off.
"Close the city gate, close the city gate!" The officers and soldiers of the infantry yamen ignored Aling'a's loud shouting and simply closed the city gate, bolted it, and locked it.
According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, after the city gates of the capital are closed, anyone who dares to trespass will be shot without mercy, except for the emperor's special orders and financial orders!
Hehe, after such a delay, Aling'a and his son were blocked in the city, but Yuzhu had already walked away.
In Changchun Garden, the old emperor was playing chess with Zhang Tingyu. Suddenly he heard that Yuzhu had handed over a sign to see him, so he asked Zhang Tingyu: "Chen Heng, do you know what happened to Qing Yu?"
Zhang Tingyu quickly stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Back to the emperor, in this situation, the city gates in Beijing have probably been closed, right?"
He did not answer Kangxi's question directly, but Kangxi had already understood his subtext.
It's so late, and Yuzhu suddenly comes to see him, something big must have happened.
Kangxi nodded and said: "Chen Heng, the position of crown prince has been vacant for a long time, and someone is already ready to take action."
When Zhang Tingyu heard this, his heart trembled and he lowered his head subconsciously.
In the capital, it has been too peaceful recently, so peaceful that it makes people feel panicked.
But the problem is that the old emperor is getting older day by day, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this calmness is just a short calm before the storm.
Behind the eerie tranquility, there is something ulterior hidden. It is likely that due to the arrival of Yuzhu overnight, it will be revealed before the emperor.
Zhang Tingyu is definitely not a member of the Eight Lords, and he is not qualified to be won over by the fourth child for the time being. It is even less possible for him to speak for Yuzhu.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
It is better to be silent than to speak a thousand words.
Be cautious and independent, never out of date.
These are the secrets of officialdom taught to Zhang Tingyu by Zhang Ying, the emperor's teacher and father.
