There's so much shit going on in the clan's mansion.
In Jufan, Yuzhu must be notified of all weddings and funerals of clan members, as well as those of bannermen committing adultery and crimes.
As usual, if a bannerman is suspected of committing a crime, he will be taken into custody by the Ministry of Punishment, and the Zongren Mansion will send someone to attend the trial.
Originally, Yuzhu should be avoided because Yuzhu's Ama Qingtai was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
However, Zuo Zong happened to be seriously ill, and Zong Ling and Zong Zheng had never been involved in such unlucky things.
In the end, the matter of participating in the joint trial fell on Yuzhu's shoulders after being approved by Kangxi.
In the morning, after Yuzhu had breakfast, he yawned and came out of the hanging flower door and boarded the four-carriage sedan.
According to the regulations of the Qing dynasty, civil servants rode in sedan chairs and generals rode horses.
Yuzhu didn't like riding a horse, so he took advantage of the regulations and continued to ride in the sedan.
Because, after being relieved of the title of Minister of Internal Affairs and Security, Yuzhu's original position was the Left Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, a proper second-grade civil servant.
Yuzhu was also very obedient. Whenever he was riding in a sedan chair, he would wear the second-grade golden pheasant civil official's patchwork uniform to avoid provoking the noise of the officials.
Of course, Yuzhu can also wear the supplementary clothes of Fu Guogong, and can also ride in a four-carriage sedan.
What is a coincidence is that the rules of how the clan members sit in sedan chairs are based on assisting the Duke of the country.
The Duke of Zhen Guo can ride in a large sedan chair with eight carriages, while the Duke of Fu Guo can only ride in a small sedan chair with four carriages. This is an eight-cent treatment.
If you don't join the clan of the Duke of Bafen Town and below, you can only ride a horse.
It was not far from the Qing Mansion to the Ministry of Punishment. Yuzhu was in the sedan chair, swaying on his way, and he arrived at the gate of the Ministry of Punishment in two quarters of an hour.
When the gatekeepers saw Yuzhu coming, they quickly saluted and said cautiously: "Please be safe, Mr. Zhu."
"That's all." Yuzhu is the son of the current Minister of Justice, and the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice is his family's backyard.
Samoha, a doctor in the Fujian Qing Dynasty official division, knew that Yuzhu was coming today, so he was waiting in the concierge early.
In the Ministry of Punishment, there are seventeen Purification Departments. Among them, the Fujian Purification Department is in charge of criminal cases in Xianglan Banner.
"Please be safe, Mr. Zhu."
Not to mention the fact that Yuzhu is the most famous person in front of the Holy Emperor today, Samoha does not dare to show any slights to Yuzhu because he is Qingtai's only son.
In the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, if you offended the yamen of your immediate superior's family, you would be punished by wearing small shoes and being hammered.
According to the rules, Qingtai went out to do business, and Samoha led Yuzhu to visit Ted, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
Because the identities must be equal, I won’t go into details.
When Ted heard that Yuzhu was coming, he greeted him very politely.
Yuzhu was invited into Ted's official hall, and the guest and host sat opposite each other.
After serving tea, Ted politely asked about the health of the elders in Yuzhu's family. After Yuzhu answered, he also asked about the elders in Ted's family.
Half an hour passed with such questions and answers.
In the Qing Dynasty, the most important things were not as big as fulfilling the etiquette. The people under the banner had countless rules.
While Yuzhu and Ted were chatting, a message came from outside that Liu Tan, the left minister of Han Que in the Ministry of Punishment, had arrived.
Ted was secretly wondering. Yuzhu came to the Ministry of Punishment today to interrogate the criminal cases of the bannermen. As usual, Manchu officials should preside over the trial. What was Liu Tan, a Han minister, doing here?
Yuzhu knew very well that Liu Tan was Li Guangdi's winner in the imperial examination in his early years.
Coincidentally, Yuzhu's examination master was also Li Guangdi.
Judging from Li Guangdi's relationship, Liu Tan is indeed Yuzhu's senior brother in the same class but in a different year.
Now that Liu Tan is here, Yuzhu of course has to go out to greet him.
As a result, before Liu Tan could even take a sip of tea when he entered the room, Zhang Chong, the right servant of Han Que from the Ministry of Punishment, also came.
Looking at Ted who was extremely surprised, Yuzhu smiled bitterly and explained in a low voice: "To be honest with you, Zhang Shilang is my uncle."
Ted has never participated in the imperial examination, so he is not sure where Yuzhu came from.
Liu Tan couldn't help but smile slightly and helped introduce: "Tai Gong, Shi Lang Zhang is the junior brother of the current Shuntian Prefecture Yin Tang Gong."
Tang Bing was Yuzhu's first mentor. Who in the entire capital didn't know that?
"Oh, that's it." Ted suddenly realized it and couldn't help but sigh, "You Hanchen have made too many twists and turns."
After finishing speaking, Ted suddenly realized that he had made a mistake. He quickly blushed and stood up to explain: "Master Zhu, I'm sorry. I have no disrespect to Mr. Tang."
Tang Bing is just a third-grade Shuntian governor. How could Ted care about him?
Ted is worried about offending Yuzhu!
Yuzhu waved his hand and said: "Tai Gong, as the saying goes, there are no big or small rivers and lakes. We all have to deal with each other."
This was serious talk, and Ted couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Several people went out together and welcomed Zhang Chong into the official hall, where they discussed the seating arrangements and served tea again.
Zhang Chong is Yuzhu's teacher, so he should naturally be the chief. However, how can Zhang Chong dare to take the lead?
Everyone was arguing for a long time, and finally Yuzhu spoke up, and Zhang Chong dared to sit at the head of the table.
Zhang Chong came here just to take the opportunity to meet Yuzhu, nothing serious.
A few people were in the official hall, talking to each other, chatting about interesting things about the imperial examination and secret rumors in the alleys.
Time passed so fast, in the blink of an eye, the bell was ringing in the Penal Department Yamen for lunch.
For these court officials, the afternoon is basically free time.
Since he bumped into Yuzhu, who would be stupid enough to take him to the canteen of the Criminal Department?
As a result, several people discussed it and unanimously decided to book a table at Zhimei Building.
After having had enough wine and food, Yuzhu came out of Zhimei Building and took out his pocket watch to see, my dear, it was already half past five in the afternoon.
After Yuzhu went out today, he didn't do anything serious. He just met friends, chatted, drank some wine, and hung out until dusk.
Hey, being an official, especially after becoming an official in a ministry, is such a blessing.
There was no way, the official rules of the Qing Dynasty were so cumbersome and without proper etiquette, it was easy to offend people for no reason.
If the current emperor was not Kangxi but Chongzhen, what Yuzhu did today would be no different from the Donglin Party and others.
It is very easy for officials with Jinshi background to get together and form gangs because of their seniority, the same year, or fellow villagers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This was the case in the Ming Dynasty, and it is still the case in the Qing Dynasty.
However, the real power of the Qing Dynasty was always in the hands of the bannermen. The so-called party formation of the Han officials prevented big troubles.
It must be admitted that the Tatar Qing regime was the highest peak of thousands of years of imperial autocracy and was very mature.
If Europe had not launched the Industrial Revolution and used the military achievements of the Great Navigation to colonize everywhere, the Qing Dynasty would probably have had a foundation of more than 500 years.
After everyone broke up, Yuzhu returned to Long Mansion in a sedan chair.
Because Long Keduo must come back to personally host Yuyan's marriage.
Early the next morning, Yuzhu took the whole family to the outside of Xizhimen to welcome Longkodo's return.
It was nearly noon, and Shanshan arrived late to attend the ceremony of Longkodo, the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi.
Yuzhu took the whole family and saluted Longkodo and Li Si'er. Longkodo stroked his beard and smiled, and said proudly: "My Ama once said in front of the boss and the second child that I will definitely do it in the future."
He is a prodigal. Huh, now, I have become Long Zhongtang and you have become Master Zhu. My Amma has completely misjudged you."
Well, Long Keduo gossiped about Tong Guowei in public. Yuzhu, a junior, naturally couldn't interrupt, so he could only giggle along with him.
However, Yuzhu knew it well. Tong Guowei was really right. In history, the old Tong family was really ruined at the hands of Longkodo, and it never recovered from the fall.
Longkodo could not go back directly to his hometown. He had to submit a sign to the palace to see his majesty before he could go back to his hometown to reunite with his family.
The father and son parted ways. Yuzhu accompanied Li Si'er and returned to Long Mansion.
As soon as Li Si'er returned home, he went into Yu Yan's boudoir, hugged his daughter and cried.
"My son, you are going to get married soon. I can't bear to leave you." Li Si'er hugged Yuyan and screamed, making Xiuyun beside him dumbfounded.
Even though they were biological siblings, Yuzhu could not enter Yuyan's boudoir. He had to take his seven-year-old brother Eighty-Nine to the inner study.
However, before Yuzhu could sit firmly, Zhang Hongxu, the eunuch who was responsible for delivering the decree, arrived.
"Long Live the Lord's oral instructions, written by Long Keduo, Yuzhu and his son, listened to the announcement outside the Meridian Gate."
Yuzhu found it very strange. In the previous marriages granted to princes, the prince's father-in-law always went to receive the decree outside the Meridian Gate. How could it be that his uncle should also go with him?
Strangely enough, after Yuzhu changed into the official uniform of the Golden Pheasant, Zhang Hongxu said: "Master Zhu, I have specially ordered you to wear the imperial uniform of Duke Fu to receive the order."
After Yuzhu finished packing, he followed Zhang Hongxu to the Meridian Gate.
After getting off the sedan, Yuzhu came out and saw that Longkodo was already waiting in front of the Meridian Gate.
Shen Chu is an auspicious time.
At this time, they saw Tahebu, the left servant of the Ministry of Etiquette, slowly walking out of the palace gate with Huang Chengcheng's decree in his hand.
"Longkodo, Yuzhu accepts the order!" Taheb looked at Longkodo and his son who were already kneeling down calmly.
"Special edict, Li Si'er, the mother of Yuzhu, has given birth to a precious son and has made great contributions to the country. Mrs. Zhaosheng of Jin Dynasty has been promoted to Zhenghuang Banner Manchuria. I hereby express my gratitude."
Good guy, Yuzhu's consistent humility has been extremely generously rewarded.
To be honest, the old emperor treated Yuzhu very well.
What kind of shabby background did Li Si'er come from?
The old emperor pinched his nose and recognized Yuzhu. He not only named Li Si'er the Lady of Zhaosheng, but also elevated her to the Manchurian Zhenghuang flag.
In this way, Li Si'er, who has changed her background, is qualified to become Longkodo's legitimate wife.
This was the purpose of the old emperor's favor to Li Si'er.
Besides, Li Si'er's background was improved, and the old emperor's favorite son, Lao Shiba, naturally had a bright face.
Originally, because Li Si'er was a concubine of the Tong family, she could not be regarded as Lao Shiba's serious mother-in-law at all.
However, now that he has the old emperor's endorsement, all he needs to do is complete the formalities for marrying Li Si'er as his stepwife.
Rice Ball Exploration
Alas, the eighteenth old man can justifiably call Li Si'er his mother-in-law.
As soon as the old emperor took action, he helped Yuzhu make up for it. The biggest shortcoming in his birth was indeed gratifying for Yuzhu.
After the news spread, Yuzhu's already extremely strong momentum became even more aggressive.
