After a long stretch of muscles and bones, surprisingly, the old emperor's right hand could barely hold the pen.
However, the old emperor held the pen with his right hand and could only write a few words at most before he could continue.
"Old man, you are recovering well." Yuzhu took out the white handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the hot sweat from his forehead. His smile was particularly contagious.
The old emperor looked at the smiling Yuzhu and was stunned for a long time. Then he groaned and scolded: "Look at how happy you are. People who don't know would think you have found another stunning beauty."
Yuzhu said with a smile: "Old man, who doesn't love a stunning beauty?"
The old emperor laughed uncontrollably and cursed: "If someone's daughter-in-law falls in love with you, she should be very worried."
Yuzhu smiled mischievously and said, "Old man, please stop talking. Other people's daughters-in-law are just tasteful, and I like that tone."
"I have never seen such a shameless person like you." The old emperor cursed Yuzhu, but his eyes looked at him particularly softly.
If Yuzhu hadn't insisted on stretching and moving his muscles every day, the old emperor's right hand would have been completely disabled.
Wang Chaoqing on the side was extremely envious.
Except for Yuzhu, who dares to talk nonsense like this in front of Long Live Lord?
"Tell me, how should I reward you?" The old emperor was in a good mood and planned to reward Yuzhu heavily so as not to let down the child's filial piety.
"There are many stunning beauties in Jiangnan, and their skin is very white and tender. When you send me to Jiangnan next time, you allow me to bring back another stunning beauty, and I will be satisfied." Yuzhu saw the old man.
The emperor was in a good mood, so he deliberately made jokes and talked nonsense.
The old emperor couldn't help but laugh and cursed: "Dirty devil, pervert, worthless thing." He actually acquiesced.
"However, you are not allowed to act recklessly in Beijing, do you understand?" The old emperor knew that Yuzhu was sensible, but he still specifically warned him.
The old emperor really didn't care whose wife or daughter-in-law Yuzhu went to Jiangnan to steal and came back.
Powerful people inevitably have special preferences.
Yuzhu's problem is that he particularly likes other people's pretty girls and wants to snatch them up when he sees them.
However, the bannermen are the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and Yuzhu will never be allowed to mess around.
After giving the advice, the old emperor regretted it. Hey, the advice was in vain.
Just by looking at the way Yuzhu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, the old emperor guessed what he was thinking.
The old emperor knew better than anyone that except for Xiuyun and Liangfei, there were very few beautiful women in his family.
A female draft was held every three years. When Kangxi was young, he often read it in person.
As a result, there are really not many good-looking girls out there.
The fourth child’s biological mother, Concubine De, and the eighth child’s biological mother, Concubine Liang, were both beauties pulled out by the old emperor from among the maids.
Especially the good concubine, with the old emperor's vast knowledge, he couldn't help but feel lucky to her as soon as they met.
His right hand could write a few words, so the old emperor was naturally very happy, so he rewarded Yuzhu with a leather strip.
Pimp, as the name suggests, is a leather whip used to drive away passers-by. This is a special treatment only available to those who belong to the eighth clan.
In the capital city, because the officials and censors kept a close watch, there were many pimps in the clan with yellow belts, but it was rare to hear of people being whipped with pimps.
After Yuzhu received the pimp's reward, in addition to carrying pots and purple mats, he received almost all eight special benefits worth eight points.
After having breakfast with the old emperor, Yuzhu left the Xihua Gate and returned to the Ministry of Personnel to work.
As the Zuo Shilang in charge of the Literary and Selection Department, Yuzhu actually had many affairs in the Ministry of Personnel.
Among them, the most important thing is to meet with officials from other places who come to Beijing from time to time and write down their observations and comments.
However, in the process of meeting officials from other places, there were too many red tapes and etiquette, which delayed things very much.
Throughout the Qing Dynasty, there were at least several thousand local officials above the county magistrate level.
According to the rules, after completing their terms of office, these people must return to Beijing to report on their duties.
However, only local officials with a rank of four or above were eligible to meet the emperor.
What is said here about being qualified to meet the emperor does not mean that one will definitely be able to meet the old emperor.
As the old emperor grew older, he became increasingly tired of government affairs.
Basically, only when the local governor returned to Beijing, the old emperor would call him into the palace to meet him.
The rest of the local officials were all met by Yuzhu, and they wrote detailed evaluation comments and then submitted them to the old emperor for inspection.
The old emperor was lazy, and the work intensity on Yuzhu's side increased a lot.
Every day, the local officials who come to the gatehouse of the Libu Yamen and wait for Yuzhu to receive them range from a dozen to dozens of people.
Most of the comments written by others are biased.
The comments written by Yuzhu are particularly different.
When interviewing local officials, Yuzhu, regardless of his faction or origin, only focused on two points: how to collect taxes on time and how to investigate the murder scene.
As a local official in the Qing Dynasty, there were actually two main tasks. One was to collect taxes in full and in a timely manner, and the other was to ensure that the procedures for solving the case were clear after a fatal incident.
Since Qingtai had served as Minister of Justice, Yuzhu knew a lot of inside information.
For example, the death rate of human life-threatening eucalyptus is high on paper, but is actually surprisingly low.
Basically, if you can solve two out of ten murder cases, it is considered very good.
According to Qingtai, the rate of undoing a murder case is high, mainly because a good person is paid to replace a bad person, a bad person is paid to take the blame, or a good person is falsely accused of being a bad person.
According to Yuzhu's analysis, the failure rate of the Ming Dynasty is low, mainly because the imperial power does not extend to the county, resulting in the court's lack of tight control over the grassroots.
As long as the murderer is not caught on the spot, the chance of escaping severe punishment is astonishingly high.
The territory really controlled by the Qing Dynasty was mainly within the city walls of county towns, prefecture towns and prefectural cities.
In the wilderness without city walls, it is actually not difficult for the murderers to avoid being caught by the officials.
Precisely because Yuzhu's comments were impartial and only talked about administrative abilities and did not involve moral aspects, the old emperor preferred to read his evaluation conclusions.
Funing'an, the official minister, could only see the old emperor every three to five days.
As for Yuzhu, because he also held the position of foreman and imperial minister, he had to spend at least an hour with the old emperor almost every day.
Wang Chaoqing knew that when Long Live Lord had breakfast, if there were no jade pillars to accompany him, the meal would definitely not be delicious.
As time passed, Yuzhu's extraordinary influence on personnel affairs spread among officials.
To put it more eccentricly, the official department now has the final say without hair.
The hairless one definitely refers to the jade pillar.
Yuzhu's inner study room is now divided into two. The left side belongs to Qian Yinglan, and the right side belongs to Liu Taiqing, the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan.
Women who read too much will inevitably have random thoughts if they are idle for too long.
It's better to find something to do so that they can pass the time.
In the past, Yuzhu had several business friends who spent all day playing with Xiaomi or other people's wives and had no time to take care of the full-time wives at home.
As a result, almost all of these stay-at-home wives cheated on their wives.
The main reason is that these full-time wives not only have money, but also a lot of time, and the green grassland roof is derived from their idle time and boredom.
After Yuzhu returned home, he changed into casual clothes and walked slowly into the study.
Qian Yinglan was not in the study, and Liu Taiqing was alone with his pen, writing and drawing on rice paper.
Perhaps because he was too focused, Liu Taiqing did not notice Yuzhu's arrival.
Yuzhu walked slowly behind Liu Taiqing, took a closer look, and realized that she was writing lyrics.
Feng Liu is susceptible to the temptation, but he stands still and refuses to be gentle...
Well, Yuzhu, who has read a lot of poetry and books, although he is not very talented, he also knows that this is Qin Guan's sad words.
It must be admitted that Liu Taiqing was good at small regular script, with beautiful fonts, round pens, skillful brushwork, and extremely fast and precise writing.
To put it bluntly, Liu Taiqing's small regular script completely surpassed Yuzhu, and she deserves to be named the most talented woman in Jiangnan.
In this era, women from wealthy families paid special attention to the gift of hairpins.
The haircut ceremony is a ceremony where a woman officially becomes an adult after her menstrual period and is ready for marriage.
Although Liu Taiqing already has a daughter and a son, because she was thirteen years old, she got married early and gave birth to a daughter early, so she has just turned thirty-one this year.
Yuzhu was very patient, deliberately waiting for Liu Taiqing to put down his pen, and then put his arms around her slender waist.
"Ah..." Liu Taiqing was caught off guard and trembled with fright. In panic, he even shouted, "Come here, come quickly, help me..."
An evil smile appeared on Yuzhu's face, and he deliberately did not cover Liu Taiqing's little mouth, letting her scream randomly.
Are you kidding me?
The rules in Yuzhu's inner study are extremely strict. If not summoned by Yuzhu himself, anyone who dares to enter without permission will be beaten to death.
Soon, Liu Taiqing woke up. This was Yuzhu's inner study, not her previous boudoir.
"Qing Niang, the way you screamed for help was both hot and charming. This is the first time I've seen it. You keep screaming. I like hearing it." Yuzhu put his head on Liu Taiqing's shoulder and took a deep breath on purpose.
Well, Liu Taiqing has an indescribable feminine scent on his body, which is refreshing and comforting.
Liu Taiqing said no more, but kept exerting force with his little hands, subconsciously trying to push the jade pillar out.
Yuzhu is neither a good person in the traditional sense nor a saint like Liu Xiahui.
Liu Taiqing had a man, a son and a daughter, but it was Yuzhu who snatched her back. Her unwillingness was completely understandable to Yuzhu.
However, since Liu Taiqing has fallen into Yu Zhu's hands, there is no reason to let him go.
Yuzhu's temper is extremely domineering.
Any woman he gets, even if he is tired of it and would rather become a canary in a cage, he will never let go of her voluntarily.
"Qing Niang, your handkerchief, the talented girl from the Xie family in Jiangnan, was redeemed by a salt merchant last month." Yuzhu said with a smile, "It is said that she cried excitedly when she was redeemed."
When Liu Taiqing was in the Yan family, he had always been the tomb woman in charge of the middle school, so she was well-informed.
There is no need for Yuzhu to lie. For Xie, being redeemed by a big salt merchant is tantamount to escaping from the sea of suffering, and there is no need for thousands of people to taste a little bit of red lips.
Serving only one man, and serving different men every day, are like heaven and hell.
Seeing Liu Taiqing take the initiative to reach out his jade arm and hook his neck, Yuzhu couldn't help but smile, the woman's mind was not yet attached to him.
As the saying goes, a good girl is most afraid of being bullied by a bad guy.
Yuzhu had plenty of time and could take her time and eat her thoroughly from body to heart.
