Chapter 614 Taking charge of the overall situation
The old emperor personally spoke, and Zhang Tingyu completed the formalities. Yuzhu held the decree in his hand and walked to Lao Ba and the others in a swagger.
"According to the oral instructions of Khan Ama, the eighth son of the emperor Dorobeile Yinshu, the ninth son of the emperor Gushanbeizi Yinsu, and the emperor's tenth son Dunjun Wang Yin, get out of the imperial camp immediately!"
Yuzhu raised his left hand high, supported Lao Gao with the decree, and said coldly: "According to the decree, I, the president, will oversee all affairs of the camp!"
"Hey." The guards, maids and eunuchs all around knelt on the ground.
At this moment, it is different from just now.
The old emperor's powerful roar was heard by many people.
With the support of the old emperor, Jade Pillar already has the strong confidence to kill people when others block it, and to kill Buddha when Buddha blocks it.
Lao Ba and the others were driven out, but the old emperor still relented!
In the past, it would not have been difficult for the old emperor to directly imprison Lao Ba and the others.
However, the Lion King also ages.
The old emperor's sudden fainting made him feel quite powerless.
At this juncture, if Lao Ba and the others were imprisoned, it would be easy to cause a big mess.
In extraordinary times, it is always better to assess the situation and do more than to do less. A smooth transition is all that is needed.
After driving away Lao Ba and the others, the old emperor drank the decoction and performed acupuncture. After feeling better, he found Lao Si.
When the old emperor was talking to the fourth child, even Wang Chaoqing and Wei Zhu were driven far away, let alone Yuzhu.
However, while others could not guess the old emperor's intentions, Yuzhu had a rough idea.
When this person comes to a critical moment of life and death, his true thoughts will inevitably be revealed.
From the fact that the fourth child and the old emperor had been chatting privately for more than an hour, and at the critical moment when the old emperor had just fainted, Yuzhu thought to himself that the old emperor had probably made up his mind and planned to choose the fourth child as the heir apparent.
?
If the old emperor chose the fourteenth old man, Longkodo would be easily convinced by Yuzhu.
However, if the fourth child becomes the prince in private, Yuzhu will have to spend a lot of time to convince Longkodo.
Because the fourth child's little trick of always calling him uncle in private seemed very shallow, but in fact, it just scratched Longkodo's itch.
To put it bluntly, given Longkodo’s family background, money is just a number to him.
As a prince, the fourth child has always treated Longkodo with special respect as a true uncle. To be honest, it is indeed extremely rare.
After the fourth child left, the old emperor called Yuzhu into the imperial tent again and told him: "Draw up the decree and ask the fourth child to return to the capital to report on his duties."
"嗻." Yuzhu was not surprised at all. The old emperor's temper was always full of different opinions.
After having a heart-to-heart talk with the fourth child, he then called the fourteenth brother back for a heart-to-heart talk. This was in line with the old emperor's suspicious personality.
After riding away with the messenger from the imperial court on his back, the old emperor steeled himself and met with the princes and ministers in batches.
At this time when the emperor and his ministers were suspicious, the old emperor's move was of great significance and was a typical example of not being confused about important matters.
The old emperor summoned his ministers and what they said was not important.
The important thing is that the old emperor can still sit for a few hours and talk to his important ministers.
Just imagine, the old emperor who can sit for several hours in a row obviously hasn't run out of fuel yet.
Objectively speaking, the old emperor has been in power for fifty-six years, and most of the people in the world are the old emperor's trusted ministers.
When the old emperor was chatting with his ministers, Yuzhu was also there.
However, Yuzhu knew it well and kept silent.
The old emperor ordered President Yuzhu to deal with the affairs of the royal camp, and he issued an explicit edict, and everyone knew it.
It is precisely because of this that the princes and ministers of Manchuria have a better understanding of the status of the jade pillar in the eyes of the old emperor.
At this time, the late Qing Dynasty was not completely corrupt. There were indeed many mediocre people among the Manchu princes and ministers, but the talents under their banners had not yet withered away.
There are still many discerning people.
To put it bluntly, at this critical moment, the old emperor was willing to let Yuzhu take care of his back, which proved his great trust.
Whoever the emperor favors will have his influence magnified many times.
For example, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, Dongchang naturally has the power to supervise Jin Yiwei.
However, during the Jiajing Emperor's period, even Huang Jinyi, the eunuch who was in charge of Dongchang, had to kneel down to see Lu Bing and call him respectfully: Grandpa Lu!
How absurd is it that a cat catching mice should kneel down to see a big mouse?
It can be seen that the emperor's favor is the decisive factor in the degree of influence. Favor is much more powerful than the actual official position!
There were still a few important officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and there were a few Manchu great scholars with higher status than Yuzhu.
As for the hereditary clan princes, there are even more.
However, when the old emperor was in crisis, he chose Yuzhu to take charge of the overall situation, which easily aroused everyone's imagination.
Objectively speaking, under the deliberate cultivation of the old emperor, Yuzhu's official qualifications were extremely complete despite his young age.
He served as a general in Fuyuan, fought great victories, and has never been defeated so far. He was also named the auxiliary Duke of the clan. It can be said that he has outstanding military exploits and is extremely honored.
He served as a local governor twice, served as a minister and a minister, and served as a cabinet minister. He once served as a cabinet bachelor in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
It is no exaggeration to say that Yuzhu's career path is made of pure gold.
Important matters in the imperial court always have priorities.
The old emperor fainted on the way to the funeral of the Empress Dowager Dahang. We can't let the old emperor not show up, right?
However, the old emperor's frail body would definitely not be able to bear the ritual of bowing for a long time.
Therefore, Yuzhu called in all the accompanying ministers and ministers from the Ministry of Rites, and they all discussed it together and cut down as much as possible the procedures involving the old emperor's need to come forward.
The Minister of Rites swallowed the pearl, frowned, and said hesitantly: "To be honest with you, Yu Zhongtang, if it is an external matter, we can delete a lot of the ceremony and it will not be a problem. But the problem is, Long live the Lord.
He is a rare virtuous king throughout the ages, and he rules the world with benevolence and filial piety. If I cannot personally send the Empress Dowager Daxing to the underground palace in person, I may be criticized by others."
Tunzhu was a rare minister of rites in the clan. He presided over the rites department. What the old emperor valued most was that this guy was a super expert in etiquette.
This is the same situation as Lao Twelve.
As long as it was a funeral or a happy occasion, the old emperor would think of Lao Twelve immediately.
Yuzhu knew what he was saying. It was because he was thinking about the old emperor. In fact, he was worried that after the etiquette had been compromised, he would be in trouble if there was a settlement in the future.
The Ministry of Rites looks like a Qingshui Yamen, but in fact, there is a lot of money to be made in matters related to sacrifices, temple worship, imperial examinations, etc.
More importantly, a slight mistake in the affairs of the Ministry of Rites will cause the court to lose face, which is easier than corruption and bribery.
Due to the nature of the job, Tunzhu cannot give in easily.
(PS: The update was completed in the early hours of the morning. Let me say a few more nonsense. This book is getting better and better despite the criticism. It is definitely not a book that is sold on the market. I am under great pressure, and I have to raise the down payment for my daughter and son.
Well, to put it bluntly, as long as there is time to update, I would be stupid not to bother with coding.)
