On the way out of the palace, Dezhao asked Yuzhu and Lao Twelve which house they should go to first.
How could Yuzhu be fooled? He said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I will obey your orders." He slipped his shoulder and slid over.
When Lao Twelve saw De Zhao looking towards him, he quickly said: "Brother De, I listen to you."
Dezhao also knew in his heart that expecting the two little foxes in front of him to come forward would be a waste of time for a blind man to light up his lamp.
"Well, Zhan Jewelry is dead after all. The deceased is the most important. Let's go to his house first?" Dezhao thought carefully and then made a suggestion.
Naturally, Yuzhu and Lao Twelve could not object, so everyone agreed to meet at Manduhu's house.
Dezhao got into the sedan and left first.
Yuzhu was about to board the sedan, but was forcefully dragged by Lao Twelve into his carriage.
"What do you mean, Dezhao? You dragged me into the water, what the hell?" Lao Twelve complained angrily.
Yuzhu naturally knew what Lao Twelve meant.
When Zhan Zhuozhu died, Lao Twelve just wanted to conduct the funeral ceremony according to the rules. He didn't want to get into too much trouble at all.
"If I don't drag you into the water, Dezhao will take the blame alone. Do you think your friendship with him is deep enough?" Yuzhu smiled faintly and revealed Dezhao's trump card.
"Damn it! Last time, I almost had to take charge of the Three Flags issue of Zhengbai Banner, but he was the one who interfered." When Lao Twelve mentioned this matter, he became very angry.
Yuzhu knew this.
Kangxi arranged for the princes to divide the flag affairs of each banner, with the purpose of weakening the influence and real power of the old flag owners of each banner.
However, because of Dezhao's intervention, Lao Twelve's management of the Zhengbai Banner and the Three Banners changed into managing the Zhengbai Banner and Han military affairs.
Lao Twelve was also a very ambitious guy. He had lost most of his military power inexplicably, so he was naturally very dissatisfied with De Zhao.
However, even if the world is broken, how can it be that the crown prince always takes the cake?
Since Lao Twelve often attends banquets, the signs are extremely obvious that he has long been out of the fight for the top spot.
In Yuzhu's established plan, there was never an option to support Lao Twelve on the throne.
To put it bluntly, even if Yuzhu favors the Eight Wise Kings and ascends to the throne, he and Longkodo will definitely be weakened no matter how great their contributions are.
Even an adult emperor cannot tolerate the excessive power of ministers.
After the Sima family took control of the political affairs, Cao Fang wanted to make Xia Houxuan the general. After the incident was revealed, he was deposed as the king of Qi by Sima Shi. Cao Mao couldn't bear it anymore and led people to kill Sima Zhao's mansion, but was abandoned by the prince.
People will be killed by Ji.
The Cao family no longer has real power, but two emperors successively refused to obey. What does this mean?
How could Yuzhu not know the mystery?
The power of the king is divinely vested and cannot be blasphemed by any minister.
No matter who it is, as long as they sit on that chair, they will never be willing to become a puppet in front of the stage.
Since ancient times, powerful officials in a unified dynasty have either usurped the throne or died. There is no third way.
Zhao Gao, who regarded a deer as a horse, had all the power in the government, right? Gui Ziying used his trick to annihilate the three tribes.
Lao Twelve deliberately spoke ill of Dezhao, just to make Yuzhu share the same hatred.
How could Yuzhu be fooled by such a pediatrician?
"Brother Twelve, Dezhao is the clan leader. You must obey his orders." Yuzhu just didn't take the bait, and it was useless no matter how anxious Lao Twelve was.
The alley where Manduhu's Zhenguo Palace is located is covered with white flags that block out the sky and the sun.
Lao Twelve was considered an expert in his profession. When he saw it, he sneered: "Mandu Hu is too arrogant. A father cannot make a big show of it after his son is dead. This is arrogance."
Yuzhu just smiled but didn't speak.
Zhan Zhuozhu died, Manduhu was suffering from the pain of losing his son, and it was actually quite understandable that he did something that went too far.
Besides, Manduhu could only kill the murderer Guangshu if he made a big noise.
There is no way, there are too many uncertainties regarding the Qing Dynasty.
The trio, headed by Dezhao, were invited into the vast white palace of Fengen Town.
Manduhu was so angry that he didn't go out to greet Dezhao and the others.
"Uuuuuuuuah... My son, Jewelry, you died so unjustly..."
Before entering the mourning hall, I heard Manduhu's hysterical wails from a long distance away.
Dezhao is the principal imperial envoy, Lao Twelve and Yuzhu are the deputy imperial envoys. The dignity of the Tian family must be ensured.
"There is a will." Dezhao coughed slightly, deliberately raising his voice and speaking loudly.
Dezhao also had good intentions and wanted to remind Manduhu that sorrow is sorrow and disrespecting the authority of the old emperor will result in a beating.
However, Dezhao's good intentions turned into a donkey's liver and lungs.
Manduhu didn't seem to hear him, and didn't bother to pay any attention to Dezhao. He just fell to the ground and cried loudly.
Yuzhu's face was solemn, but his mouth was tightly closed, as if he didn't care about other people's business.
Lao Twelve glanced at Yuzhu, and quickly followed Yuzhu's example, standing solemnly and tightly closing his mouth.
At this time, the benefits of being an official and a deputy are fully demonstrated.
Wang Dezhao of Xin County is the official imperial envoy, and he bears all the huge responsibilities.
Yuzhu and Lao Twelve are both deputy positions.
These days, when a deputy makes a statement, it's like saying something. It's for nothing. It's better not to say anything.
Anyway, as a deputy, as long as you don't speak, don't take a stand, don't take power, and don't take over things, it's really easy to get around.
If you don’t say you are good, do less and make fewer mistakes, the chance of getting hammered will be much smaller.
Dezhao also felt that Manduhu was actually quite pitiful. His son died and he still had no way to redress his injustice.
However, Dezhao was an imperial envoy with an order after all, and the etiquette for receiving orders was still a must.
"Manduhu, take the order!" Dezhao shouted again, but Manduhu still fell to the ground and cried, pretending not to hear.
The Twelve Lao sighed secretly, Dezhao was still too stubborn, Mandu protected his son to death, even if Dezhao came under the order, he could still be flexible.
As a result, after Mandu protector risked his life, it was Dezhao who was embarrassed.
Now Dezhao is in a dilemma, with no one left or right.
Except for Lao Wu and Lao Qi, Yuzhu has never interacted with other royal families.
Especially since most of the distinguished Manchurian troops gathered under Lao Ba's banner, Yuzhu avoided the clan members even more.
Dezhao is on the wax, but does this have anything to do with Yuzhu?
Yuzhu clasped his hands and said nothing, quietly watching Dezhao's joke.
Dezhao was really in trouble. He made a remark on the spot, which was like rubbing salt into Manduhu's wounds. If he didn't reprimand Manduhu, Kangxi wouldn't be able to pass the test.
After all, contempt for an imperial envoy is a serious crime of disrespect.
After Dezhao thought about it, he simply turned around and left.
The envoy Zhengqin left. Why did Yuzhu and Lao Twelve stay behind? They also left.
Imperial envoys who are entrusted with an order must return to the palace to deliver the order, regardless of whether the mission is completed or not.
So Dezhao led Yuzhu and Lao Twelve back to Qianqing Palace.
After hearing this, the old emperor did not get angry. He just waved his hands coldly and said, "Kneel down."
"嗻."
After Yuzhu saluted, he followed Lao Twelve and prepared to run away.
Who would have thought that as soon as Yuzhu's foot stepped out of the palace gate, the old emperor told him: "Stay the jade pillar."
Yuzhu knew the old emperor's temper very well, and he had been waiting for the old emperor's call.
"Alas, he usually looks like a human being, but when the critical moment comes, he becomes extremely weak." When the old emperor said this, Yuzhu understood, and Kangxi was also extremely disappointed with Dezhao.
As an important minister of the imperial court, isn't the biggest role of the king and father is to take care of his father's worries?
"I know you must have a way, but you don't want to cause such a big trouble, right?" Kangxi asked Yuzhu calmly.
Yuzhu replied politely: "Yes. To be honest with you, Ama, I think that getting into this kind of trouble will do a lot of harm and no good."
The old emperor nodded. Yuzhu was obviously telling the truth and was quite credible.
No one with a right mind would take the initiative to get involved in the whirlpool of the two princely families.
"I ask you, what should you do if you were to deal with this matter?" Kangxi also knew Yuzhu's temper very accurately.
After all these years, who still doesn’t know who?
Kangxi was very clear in his heart. As long as Yuzhu was not given a way out and forced hard, Yuzhu would have a way to solve the problem.
"Huihan Ama, if I call all Manduhu's sons to Qianqing Palace and promise them that as long as they convince Manduhu to stop making trouble, they will all seal Beile or Beizi, and this matter will be solved easily." Yuzhu. He didn't say much, but his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Why?" Kangxi had actually figured out the mystery, but deliberately wanted to hear Yuzhu's explanation.
Yuzhu said with saliva on his face: "Old man, you understand everything, so why bother me? Zhan Zhuozhu's death has bought his brother and younger brothers endless glory and wealth that they can enjoy for several lifetimes. You, you don't understand at all. There is no need to say a word more, just wait for Mandu to surrender."
"Haha, you bastard, you obviously have a lot of brocade hidden in your sleeves, but you deliberately kept silent because you were afraid of getting into big trouble. What crime should you do?" Kangxi smiled happily.
Yuzhu's palms were slightly wet.
Simply because, the happier the old emperor smiled, the angrier he became.
At this moment, Yuzhu was really heartbroken.
However, Yuzhu frowned and said, "Old man, do you want me to learn like them and tell lies in front of you every day?"
Yes, Yuzhu, who was almost the only one who told the truth, was hammered. Who would dare to be of the same mind as the old emperor?
"Wei Zhu, please take people to invite Manduhu's sons to come to me." Kangxi ignored Yuzhu for the time being, but turned to order Wei Zhu.
Wei Zhu understood the order from the bottom of his heart and asked, but he just said it nicely.
The reality is that Manduhu's sons must come to Qianqing Palace to see Long Live Lord.
If people come, Wei Zhu will live. If people don't come, Wei Zhu will become a dead pig.
After Wei Zhu led the people out, Kangxi deliberately used his hand as a knife and lightly slashed the back of Yuzhu's neck.
"What does this sword mean?" Kangxi asked Yuzhu calmly.
(ps: I’m late for the party, so I’ll continue to code. What does this knife mean? For the brothers who guessed correctly in the book review, the top three will each be rewarded with 1,000 starting coins. There are only three, based on the time of reply.)
