"The cabinet issued an order, and Yuzhu of the Jin Dynasty assisted the Duke of the country. He also gave two eunuchs and appointed him as the foreman, the imperial minister and the right clan member of the Zongren Mansion. He went to the south study room and took charge of the ministers of the bodyguard. All the positions remain as before. I admire this."
The person who drafted the edict was Zhang Tingyu, but the one who formally issued the edict was replaced by Li Guangdi, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, Minister of the South Study Room and Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
"Your Majesty Yuzhu, I accept the order to express my gratitude." In front of so many people, even if Yuzhu was favored, he would not dare to refute the old emperor's favor.
However, this reward is indeed extremely generous.
The clan titles in the Qing Dynasty were divided into twelve levels, starting from the prince and ending with General Feng En.
Serving as an auxiliary to the Duke of the country, he was promoted to the eighth level, and received eight special benefits. He happened to be in the sixth level of the clan title, neither too high nor too low, just appropriate.
This was the result of a compromise between Kangxi and Manchuria's old military heroes after discussion.
After pacifying the Three Feuds, Kangxi once issued an edict that people with different surnames would not be crowned kings.
The so-called ancestral precepts are the rules set by Kangxi.
Yuzhu basically had a dawdling attitude in the South Study Room. He didn't answer the emperor's questions and never took the initiative to speak.
Because Nan Shufang exercises the power of the prime minister. Yuzhu is an important minister who leads the army. It is definitely not a good thing to take over both the government and the army.
To put it bluntly, the ten ministers of the South Study Room and the ministers in charge of the bodyguard are not as important as the one minister of the imperial palace.
In the past, the imperial ministers around Kangxi were never called foremen. All imperial ministers were equal colleagues. Whoever was on duty in the palace and the imperial guards with swords in front of them would obey his orders.
It was different now. Yuzhu suddenly changed his identity and became the immediate boss of all the imperial ministers and the imperial guards with swords.
As for the dismissed minister of the bodyguard, he seemed to be extremely prominent. In fact, he could not see the emperor's face more than a few times a month.
The situation for the foreman, the imperial minister, is completely different.
As long as Yuzhu wanted to see the emperor, there was no need to hand a sign at the door of Qianqing Palace. He could just go in with his pocket sign and wait outside the old emperor's study or bedroom door.
What an honor and trust this is?
I think back then, Jiang Chong was just a sesame official, but he was able to force the prince Liu Ju into a situation of rebellion.
To put it bluntly, the most important thing around the emperor is not official position, but a high degree of trust, which is the so-called simplicity in the emperor's heart.
As for the Youzong of the Zongren Mansion, this was actually another major move by Kangxi to use his trusted ministers to suppress the clan princes.
You all should take it easy, otherwise, Yuzhu will not be as easy to talk to as I am, and he will be too emotional.
From the beginning of Kangxi to forty years after Qianlong, marked by the rise of Heshen, the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty was finally concentrated in the emperor.
Looking at the problem from a strategic perspective, Yuzhu dared to find an excuse to kill Lao Shi4's bodyguard.
That's because Old Fourteen foolishly stood in the wrong team, and fell in with Old Eight, Old Nine, Old Ten and other Manchurian military veterans.
The Han ministers didn't have a single soldier in their hands, and they could kill them with just one word. Why should the old emperor be afraid of them?
What the old emperor was afraid of was that the Manchurian army had great merit and would unite to support his son. Then, would there be any consequences for Kangxi?
There are so many historical materials collected in the palace. After Tang Gaozu Li Yuan lost power, what did Li Laoer do to him? Didn't Kangxi have some clues in his heart?
Even the common people in the market know that if a real man cannot eat with five tripods, he would rather be cooked with five tripods.
According to the accurate information obtained by Kangxi, there are clear signs of collusion between Lao Shi4 and Lao Ba, so we must be on guard against this.
"Your Majesty, granting a title to a clan with a different surname is against the ancestral precepts. I think it is inappropriate, so please take it back." Zhang Bangsheng, the censor of Laobayi line, was forced to have no choice but to bite the bullet and jump out to object.
"Put it out, demote it to common people, and never use it again."
The old emperor became ruthless, he was really ruthless.
The last person to be punished in this way was actually Yuzhu's think tank, Zhou Quan and Zhou Zhusheng.
The hammer Zhou Quan received was even more severe. The descendants of the Zhou family would never be able to take part in the imperial examination, which was tantamount to completely cutting off the path to class advancement.
Therefore, Zhou Quan hated Kang Mazi to the core, and unless he overthrew the Qing court, the entire Zhou family would never be able to prosper.
Kangxi had been the emperor for fifty-three years, but he still didn't know clearly that if the censor acted based on his glance and jumped out to bite someone, there must be an instigator behind it.
Killing a chicken with a bull's-eye is to scare those who come after you!
If you are not afraid of death, come and see who is not afraid of being hammered?
Damn, never use it, it's really terrible, even more terrible than death.
Because, when taking part in the imperial examination, if the father is a former official who will never serve, he must be specially marked in the resume of the three generations of his father and ancestors on the examination paper.
This is equivalent to the fact that during the political review, your biological father has a huge stain. Then, many popular core units will be sorry, and they will definitely not be able to pass the political review.
Kangxi's approach does not seem to have accomplished anything. In fact, the path for advancement for the descendants of the Zhang family has been cut off.
After Zhang Bangsheng received a black hammer, no one dared to challenge the old emperor's absolute authority.
After the court was over, Yuzhu wanted to go back to spend time with his wife and children, but unexpectedly, Sailer came to find him.
"According to the emperor's oral instructions, Yuzhu is given a sword in front of the emperor. The name of the sword is: Protector of the Saint." Sailer deliberately stretched his throat and spoke very loudly, just to make all the nearby courtiers hear.
In the past, imperial ministers were not allowed to carry swords.
Now, Yuzhu, the foreman and imperial minister, has pioneered the practice of carrying a sword.
This also means that Yuzhu has become the first important official in this dynasty who is qualified to carry the sword-faced saint.
"This...I don't dare to obey the imperial edict." Yuzhu is not stupid. He brings a knife to see the old emperor every day. Is this because he is afraid that the censors will not bite him?
In full view of everyone, Yuzhu openly disobeyed the imperial edict and walked away gracefully.
This time, Yuzhu's disobedience won the favor of many neutral people.
In the circles of powerful people, the road has always been open to the sky, everyone goes to one side, and the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river.
Until now, Yuzhu had only fought fiercely with Lao Er and Lao Ba, and had not offended anyone on a large scale.
The common people at the bottom don't have many interests to talk about. They can only talk nonsense about righteousness and killing dogs.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, from ancient times to the present, who has slaughtered dogs, slaughtered pigs and sold vegetables, who is not a cunning and profiteer who steals only a few pounds?
When Yuzhu bought eels in the past, he always weighed them well when picking them. When the fishmonger started to clean up the internal organs, one or two eels were always missing.
In Water Margin, among the 108 generals, is there a decent and good person?
The upper class, as long as you don't touch their interests, basically have a nonchalant attitude.
The old emperor used his power to bully others and forced everyone to welcome Yuzhu's class teacher back to the court ten miles away. This really offended the public!
However, Yuzhu was very sensible and didn't show up at all.
This time, the old emperor offered him a sword, but Yuzhu refused in public.
Not to mention anything else, this attitude alone is extremely correct.
There was nothing he could do about it. Yuzhu refused to do anything about such a trivial matter, and the old emperor couldn't do anything about it.
Even if this matter is settled, it will be settled.
After the news spread, when Yuzhu left the palace, some Manchu dignitaries who looked familiar but had not spoken to him took the initiative to come over and greet him.
"Master Zhu, come back, we have a table set up in Zhimei Building, please be sure to show your favor." This person was just making an excuse to show his kindness to Yuzhu, and was not sure that he could really invite Yuzhu.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you invite me, I invite you, aren't they all the same?" Yuzhu always acted like a courteous gentleman when he was in front of others.
"Master Zhu, the opera troupe raised by my family is still very useful. Please be sure to appreciate it when you have time." This is the yellow belt of the clan, and he came to pay homage to the mountain in advance.
Because, in the clan's mansion, the three giants, Zong Ling and Zuo Zong Zheng, don't take care of things very much.
However, the left and right clan members hold the real power in daily clan affairs.
This is similar to the Football Association of the former Soviet Union. The chairman of the association is publicly elected, that is, just in name, and hardly cares about anything.
On the contrary, the executive vice president who presides over the daily work of the association is the real boss who has the final say.
The official culture of the Qing Dynasty was broad, profound, and endlessly memorable.
Just after Yuzhu returned home and sat down in the study, Sun Chengyun came in, came up to him, and whispered: "Brother, just now the fifth son of old Prince Gong, General Fu Guo found me privately about Qing'e.
, saying that he wanted to spend money to get a nicer title."
Before Yuzhu could speak, Sun Chengyun secretly stretched out a finger and ticked it.
Yuzhu immediately understood that the cost of Lao Sun's hard work for delivering the message this time was five hundred taels of silver.
Sun Chengyun and Yuzhu never told lies. They knew who they were receiving money from and what they wanted to do.
Old Prince Gong was Kangxi’s fifth brother, Prince Gong Chang Ning.
Among Kangxi's several adult brothers, Fuquan was the most trusted and important. Therefore, after Fuquan's death, his third son Baotai continued to attack Prince Yu.
Chang Ning was more narrow-minded. When he was alive, Kangxi was tolerant and kind to him.
However, after Chang Ning died, his son Haishan attacked Dorobele.
This person is afraid of comparison.
They are both sons of the Kangxi brothers. One is attacking the prince, and the other is attacking Baylor. How can you feel better?
The so-called "wanting to get a good-sounding title" for Qingquan, translated into Chinese, means that he wants to move up one or two levels, and what he is worried about is not becoming the eighth-level auxiliary Duke.
After all, he is a duke, and even his salary is just that. However, whether his children are getting married or traveling as guests, they will have much more dignity.
He wears a yellow belt around his waist. When he goes out, he says, "Oh, sir, you are actually the general of the auxiliary country."
This is so shabby!
If it were someone else, Yuzhu would still have a hard time doing it even if he had great eyes and hands. This is because, under normal circumstances, titles in the Qing Dynasty require military merit to be at the bottom.
However, Prince Gong Chang Ning was Kangxi's younger brother after all.
If Yuzhu finds a suitable time and takes advantage of the old emperor's nostalgia to say a few nice words to Qing'e, it is very likely that his wish will come true.
However, what Ling Yuzhu did not expect was that since the news of his appointment as a member of the Youzong spread, the threshold of his home was almost broken by the yellow belts.
Anyone who has a little knowledge of the situation in the court can clearly understand that as long as he ingratiates himself with Yuzhu, a member of the You clan, his chances of promotion to a higher position are astonishingly high.
After all, whether they are yellow belts, red belts, or ordinary banner men, the hard-core crops they get are closely related to the salary of the title.
"Reincarnation Paradise"
To put it bluntly, more than 95% of red belts are not edible crops.
This means that the Qing Dynasty learned the lessons of the previous Ming Dynasty and was determined not to raise too many pig princes!
