Deceiving Kangxi Chapter 616 Long Xin is delighted
When Empress Dowager Daxing's Zi Palace was being carried into the underground palace, the old emperor suddenly stopped and turned to wave at the jade pillar.
Seeing this, Yuzhu quickly walked over and asked the old emperor in a low voice: "Please give me the instructions of Khan Amma."
Kangxi was very satisfied with Yuzhu's cleverness and warned him: "Keep an eye on Yuzhu and don't cause trouble."
"Please don't worry, Khan Ama, there are people watching closely around them." Yuzhu understood the old emperor's thoughts very well.
The old emperor was worried that after he followed Zi Gong down to the underground palace, his sons would take the opportunity to cause trouble.
There is no way, that supreme dragon chair is really too tempting.
A prince who doesn't want to sit on the throne either has no strength or no chance.
Once there is an opportunity, the flesh and blood of father and son, the family ties of children are all superfluous. Only forced labor and massacre are eternal.
In the underground palace of Xiaodong Tomb, Empress Dowager Daxing was the first hostess to move in. In order to show her filial piety, the old emperor naturally had to be buried in the underground palace in person.
After the old emperor came down from the underground palace, Yuzhu stood at the entrance of the mausoleum, staring at Lao Ba and the others.
The fourth child is extremely smart, and there is absolutely no way he would do something stupid at this juncture that would make him hate each other.
Lao Ba and others, especially Lao Ten, are different.
However, the old emperor was obviously overly worried.
Lao Ba is not stupid either. How could he be so stupid and angry when the old emperor enters the underground palace?
In the final analysis, the troops and horses under Lao Ba's control are all far away in the Fengtai camp, and water from afar cannot quench the thirst of those nearby.
This is roughly the same situation as Yuzhu.
If the new army is by Yuzhu's side, as long as Yuzhu does not take responsibility and allows the imperial doctors to shirk each other, it is easy for the old emperor to never wake up.
As long as the old emperor closes his eyes and Yuzhu does something shocking, Longkodo will definitely be tied to Yuzhu's pirate ship no matter how reluctant he is.
After all, treason is to punish the nine tribes. Yuzhu is Longkodo's biological son, no matter what, he can't escape the implicated disaster!
After the Empress Dowager Daxing was officially buried, the old emperor took the lead in walking out of the underground palace.
Yuzhu could see clearly that the old emperor had obviously cried. Moreover, despite Wang Chaoqing's support, the old emperor's steps were still very difficult.
The old emperor took a step forward to take a breath, and completely exposed the signs of decay that had not healed since he fainted to Old Ba's eyes.
Lao Ba did not look at the old emperor, but always stared at Yu Zhu.
This time, Lao Ba led Lao Jiu and Lao Ten and deliberately tried to break into the imperial tent with only one purpose: as soon as he was sure that the old emperor was dead, he would immediately rush to the Fengtai camp and raise troops to seize the throne.
Alas, this time it was Yuzhu who ruined something big again!
Lao Ba secretly felt cruel, if he got a big position in the future, Yuzhu would definitely die without his body intact.
There is no way, this hatred is really too deep, and it is a dead knot that cannot be untied!
When the old emperor passed by Yuzhu, he deliberately stared at the top of Yuzhu's head and said calmly: "You are responsible for handling the aftermath."
"Hey." There was no need for the old emperor to say any more nonsense. Yuzhu knew exactly what the old emperor meant by dealing with the aftermath.
When the honor guard of the brigade began to walk back, Yuzhu led the imperial guards and walked to Liu Sanchun, the master craftsman of Xiaodong Mausoleum.
Liu Sanchun's family has been building tombs for the royal family for generations since the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that it is a family of great mausoleum builders.
In the pre-Ming Dynasty, starting from Ming Taizu until the death of Ming Yingzong, the craftsmen responsible for repairing the tombs and the craftsmen who carried the coffins into the underground palace were all buried without exception.
Naturally, Liu Sanchun's ancestors were not very old when they were buried.
When the Eight Banners entered the customs, the ugly custom of burials was still retained due to the old remnants of slavery.
Before Emperor Shunzhi's death, he abolished the bad habit of human sacrifice and changed it to exile for three thousand miles.
However, the Liu family's palm is an exception.
Liu Sanchun had been mentally prepared. When he saw Yuzhu coming, he immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "My wife and my son, please ask Yuzhongtang to help take care of me. Even if I am under the nine springs, I will be grateful."
Yuzhu sighed secretly, things in this world cannot be absolutely fair, they can only be relatively fair.
Imagine
As the master craftsman of Xiao Dong Ling, Liu Sanchun was actually immortal.
However, since the old emperor made it clear, Liu Sanchun, who had mastered all the secrets of the mausoleum and underground palace, must be buried.
As for the servants who carried Zi Gong into the underground palace, there is no need to worry.
Because even if these people have entered the underground palace, they will definitely not know where the real entrance and exit of the underground palace is?
Yuzhu nodded and said, "You can go ahead with peace of mind. Your son will still be a master craftsman in the future."
Liu Sanchun took a long breath. He was a typical person who knew he would die but did not dare to run away.
The imperial court these days is always trying to implicate the entire family.
If Liu Sanchun dares to escape, at least three of the Liu family will be wiped out, and their descendants will be extinct.
If one person dies, the whole family will die. As long as you are a normal person, you will know that you have to sacrifice yourself to take care of the whole family.
Yuzhu waved his hand, and Sailer immediately led people forward and captured Liu Sanchun.
As the soul of modern people, Yuzhu is naturally extremely disgusted with the indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
However, the old emperor forced Yuzhu to do bad things. Even if he resisted and refused, there would naturally be people willing to work for the old emperor.
Besides, how long can the old emperor live?
If he couldn't bear it for a moment, he would mess up his big plan. Under the coercion of the imperial power, Yuzhu was forced to do something against his will.
When Liu Sanchun was taken away, Yuzhu thought for a while, sighed and told Sailer: "Keep your whole body intact, and get a post."
"Hey." Seiler had just made a mistake, so naturally he did not dare to disobey Yuzhu's order at this moment, and listened to the arrangement honestly.
About a quarter of an hour later, Liu Sanchun's body was dragged to Yuzhu.
Yuzhu squatted down and touched Liu Sanchun's carotid artery. Well, it was indeed not beating anymore.
"Send it quietly to the Liu family." Yuzhu thought for a moment and took out a silver note from his sleeve, "This is five hundred taels of silver. Let's pay it to his wife and children."
"Hey." Sailer said hesitantly after receiving the order, "Zhongtang, the Liu family seems to be extremely wealthy. There is no shortage of money at all."
Yuzhu knew well that Liu Sanchun was responsible for building Xiaodong Tomb, and the oil and water in it was enough to choke someone to death.
However, according to the unspoken rules, the money that the Liu family embezzles is regarded as the money paid in advance by the Royal family to buy their lives.
The extra mourning money that Yuzhu gave me was just for peace of mind because my conscience couldn't overcome it.
After dealing with Liu Sanchun's funeral, Yuzhu caught up with the large team without stopping.
During lunch, the old emperor called Yuzhu to eat and drink with him.
Yuzhu knew well that after the death of Empress Xiaohuizhang, the empress dowager, the old emperor lost his only legal elder, and it was inevitable that he would feel a different kind of sadness like a rabbit dying and a fox dying.
More importantly, Empress Xiaohuizhang, named Empress Dowager, was only ten years older than the old emperor.
Moreover, everyone in the palace knew that Emperor Shunzhi had never touched Queen Xiaohuizhang's body at all.
In other words, Queen Xiao Huizhang was still a young lady until her death.
Yuzhu knew that the old emperor must have lost his appetite. When he was drinking porridge, he deliberately slurped and made a lot of noise.
The old emperor thought it was very harsh, so he scolded him: "What does a dignified and important official of the imperial court look like?"
Yuzhu was afraid that the old emperor wouldn't say anything, so he quickly said jokingly: "This porridge is very delicious. I couldn't hold it back and drank it too quickly."
"Oh, that's how it is? Are you lying to me?" The old emperor had not recovered from his serious illness and was far less shrewd than usual, so he naturally fell into Yuzhu's trap.
Yuzhu raised his chin and ordered loudly: "Wang Chaoqing, serve a bowl of black-bone chicken porridge and give it to Khan Ama to try."
Chao Chaoqing was also worried because the old emperor had not eaten much except taking medicine.
As the saying goes, there is only one emperor and one courtier.
If the old emperor goes to Hexi, the lives of eunuchs like Wang Chaoqing and others will be in the hands of the next emperor.
In fact, as long as the eunuch is a high eunuch, there is no one who doesn't understand the principles and mysteries.
Therefore, Liang Jiugong had been secretly colluding with Lao Ba, who had the best chance of ascending to the throne.
It's a pity that God does not follow people's wishes.
Due to the existence of Yuzhu, Lao Ba's dream of being an emperor was almost completely shattered.
Liang Jiugong had also died in Wei Zhu's hands a long time ago.
The old emperor was quite proficient in the art of checks and balances. After Liang Jiugong's death, Wei Zhu did not ascend to the throne of the general manager of the Qianqing Palace. Instead, the next generation Wang Chaoqing took advantage.
Taking the bowl of porridge brought by Wang Chaoqing, the old emperor took a small sip, then shook his head and refused to drink any more.
"Old man, you can't just eat porridge, you must have pickles as a side dish." Yuzhu directed Wang Chaoqing and placed the pickles in front of the old emperor.
The old emperor drank too much bitter medicine and his mouth kept feeling bitter, so he ate a few pickles.
Yuzhu nodded secretly. As long as the old emperor ate very salty pickles, he would definitely drink porridge and water.
As expected, under Yuzhu's deliberate guidance, the old emperor reluctantly drank a small bowl of white porridge, took a few bites of roasted lamb leg, and ate a few vegetables specially recommended by Yuzhu.
To be honest, the emperor's royal meal had too many dishes. If Yuzhu didn't guide him, the old emperor wouldn't know what he was going to eat.
After the old emperor ate, he took a nap again.
After regaining his energy, the old emperor immediately summoned the ministers for discussion.
In the old emperor's later years, the meeting of political ministers became almost a decoration.
As an important minister of introduction, Yuzhu, who was not yet a minister of political affairs, could only stand by the curtain of the imperial tent, listening to the old emperor's orders anytime and anywhere.
At this time, the old emperor's low and slightly hoarse voice came from the tent, "Yuzhu has once again served as an escort. I wish to restore his title of Duke of Zhenguo, and grant him a horse in the Forbidden City, as well as a three-eyed flower feather. I don't know you."
What do you think?"
"When I get back to the emperor, I think the reward is too heavy. Why don't you just reward horse riding in the Forbidden City?" This is the iron-hatted Prince Yarjana.
Last time, Yarjiang'a stood in the wrong team and was slapped in the face by the old emperor and took away the king's title.
However, Prince Jian was a hereditary prince after all, and the old emperor did not make things right. After seizing the title, the old emperor did not issue an order to completely reduce Prince Jian's title.
In the Qing Dynasty, there was a huge difference in nature between seizing a title and reducing a title, even if there was only one word difference.
Seizing the title refers to dethroning Yarjan Ala from the title of king, but still allowing his nephews to seize the title on special orders. In other words, the iron-hatted prince title is still there and can still be passed down.
Reducing the title is completely different. In other words, the hereditary and irreplaceable title of Prince Jane will no longer exist.
Yaerjiang'a is a typical Eight-year-old Party member, and he and Yuzhu are mortal enemies.
Therefore, it is understandable that Yarjiang'a took the initiative to stand up and objected to the old emperor's favor of the jade pillar.
Yuzhu, who was standing at the door of the tent, had long heard Yarjiang'a's objections.
However, Yuzhu was looking forward to more princes and ministers taking the initiative to stand up against him.
Others may not know it well, but Yuzhu knew the old emperor's temper very well.
The more people who oppose Yuzhu, the more solid it becomes that Yuzhu is a lonely minister and a loyal minister.
As the old emperor grew older, the important matter of choosing the next emperor became more and more urgent.
As we all know, the most unstable period in an imperial autocratic society is actually when the old emperor is still alive and the new emperor is not established or has just been established.
Out of selfish motives for taking power, the old emperor has publicly stated many times that he will never establish a new crown prince!
"When I return to the emperor, I think that the jade pillar should be rewarded. However, the country cannot be without reserves for a day, so I also ask the emperor to establish a prince as soon as possible." This is Wang Guan, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.
After Yuzhu heard Wang Juan's suggestion, he couldn't help but smile.
Alas, Wang Guan was really messed up by Lao Hu, and he actually still wanted to bring the twice-deposed Prince Yin Reng back to Yuqing Palace.
Yuqing Palace, according to the regulations of this dynasty, is the inherent residence of the Prince of the East Palace!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Since ancient times, there has been no greater achievement than rescuing the driver and following the dragon.
Wang Tuan is the nominal teacher of the deposed prince. If the deposed prince is reinstated, after the old emperor dies in the future, the descendants of the Wang family will be greatly honored.
Moreover, Wang Juan deliberately did not object to the old emperor's plan to reward the jade pillar, obviously because he wanted to use this to negotiate terms with the old emperor.
How could the old emperor not understand such a small thought?
Sure enough, before Wang Guan finished speaking, the old emperor had already expressed his filial piety.
"Wang Tuan, how brave are you? I have made it clear many times that I will never establish a new crown prince, but you turned a deaf ear to me. What are your intentions?"
This is the heart-wrenching theory of the old emperor. As a minister, I am afraid that I will not be able to get through it easily.
"I'm guilty, I deserve to die!" Wang Juan must have knelt down to beg for mercy, because Yuzhu heard the obvious sound of kowtowing vigorously.
"Come here, pick off the flower feathers on Wang Guan's head and carry them back to the palace and hand them over to his descendants for strict supervision!" Although the old emperor was furious, he still had sense and still hoped to preserve the so-called holy king's memorial arch.
Yuzhu could understand the overtones of the old emperor's words. I'm afraid he would need to take action personally to arrest Wang Juan.
So, Yuzhu led several imperial guards and rushed into the imperial tent.
Yuzhu walked quickly to Wang Guan, raised his hand and took off the flower feather on his head, and said coldly: "Wang Zhongtang, you deliberately disobeyed the emperor's instructions. Could it be that you want to learn from Qian Minghai Gangfeng's request for a name?"
Are you proud? Let me tell you the truth, how could your thoughts escape the eyes and ears of the Holy King?"
Murder is a heart-wrenching act, and Yuzhu peels off Wang Guan's painted skin in public, making the old emperor unable to help but feel delighted.
"The loyalty of Yuzhu is rare in the world. I think it is the right time for Jin Gushan Beizi!"
