In the early morning, while Yuzhu was still lying high in his arms, he suddenly received the bad news from Tong Liu that his ancestor Tong Guowei had passed away.
Because Tong Guowei's body had always been strong and he still had the energy to make arrangements to take a concubine a few days ago, why did he suddenly die?
Yuzhu felt very strange, so he asked Tong Liu through the window: "How could it be like this?"
Tong Liu knelt on the ground and cried: "When our ancestors had breakfast, they insisted on eating stewed chickens, saying that they could aphrodisiac. Who would have thought that his trachea was stuck with chicken bones?
Not long after, he passed away."
Yuzhu never expected that Tong Guowei's death method would be very similar to Song Ziwen's.
Both of them accidentally got their tracheas stuck by chicken bones, and they died without any time to get treatment.
At the same time, Longkodo had learned the news and immediately sent someone to call Yuzhu over.
Under Xiuyun's service, Yuzhu quickly put on his clothes, wrapped himself in a fox fur cloak, and came to see Longkodo.
As soon as the father and son met, Longkodo smiled happily and said: "Zhu'er, the old guy is finally gone. Hey, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Yuzhu understood in his heart that although Tong Guowei and Longkodo were biological father and son, not only did they not have a deep relationship, but they were also very dirty.
There is no need to mention other trivial matters.
Just because when the old emperor wanted to win over the Tong family, Tong Guowei only recommended the eldest brother Ye Keshu and the second son Deke Xin, but ignored the adult Longkodo, which made Longkodo always feel resentful.
Now that Tong Guowei has finally returned to the West, Longkodo's old resentment of being discriminated against finally has a window to release his emotions. How can he not be happy?
Longkodo was a ruthless guy. No matter how absurd the things he did were, the old emperor could understand them, but Yuzhu couldn't laugh along with him.
"Amma, you go to Changchun Garden to report the funeral to Long Live Lord, and I will return to the old house to take charge of the overall situation?"
The old emperor's uncle died, and no matter how stupid the Tong family was, they had to rush to report the funeral as soon as possible.
Yuzhu was worried that Long Keduo was going to be a demon, so he quickly thought of a way to temporarily distract him to prevent him from having a public conflict with Ye Keshu, Deke Xin and others.
If a big scandal really breaks out, Yuzhu is a member of the Tong family after all, and his face will definitely be smeared as well.
"Well, the old Tong family belongs to me. If I don't go back to take charge of the overall situation, I'm afraid you, a junior, won't be able to control the situation!" Long Keduo glared and scolded Yuzhu loudly, "Your kid's holy pet is better than mine."
You are much stronger, why don’t you go to Changchun Garden quickly and ask for more favors when you come back?”
"Hey." Yuzhu was scolded and without any delay, he quickly turned around and ran outside.
According to the rules of etiquette, since Li Si'er was straightened up by Longkodo, Yuzhu is the legitimate grandson.
As the name suggests, the grandson who will take over as the head of the family in the future is also the grandson!
Since he was the great grandson, Yuzhu had to obey the ceremony of beheading and go to Changchun Garden to report his funeral.
"Zhongtang, please have your condolences!"
"Please express my condolences in the middle hall!"
After Yuzhu arrived at Changchun Garden, everyone who met him along the way, whether they were palace maids or eunuchs, all bowed and greeted him honestly.
When the old emperor heard that his uncle had passed away, he was heartbroken. He immediately shed tears and cried: "I am so sad to lose my uncle!"
Although Tong Guowei is the old emperor's uncle, their age difference is only eleven years.
To put it bluntly, the old emperor's biological mother, Queen Xiao Kangzhang, was the eldest sister of the Tong family, and Tong Guowei was the younger brother.
In any case, Tong Guowei is the old emperor's biological uncle, there is no doubt about it.
When Yuzhu fell to the ground and cried loudly, the old emperor said intermittently while weeping: "Looking back on the past, if it hadn't been for the great help of my uncle and my uncle, I might have become Obai's puppet!"
Hi, anyway, Tong Guowei is dead and cannot be resurrected. The old emperor gave him a very high evaluation without hesitation.
In the Qing Dynasty, what was always emphasized was the conclusion of the coffin, and the deceased was considered the most important.
With such a high evaluation from the old emperor, Yuzhu mistakenly believed that Tong Guowei's posthumous title could not be any worse.
After the old emperor cried for a while, he finally held back his tears under Yuzhu's persuasion.
The cut-off clothes on Yuzhu's body looked particularly dazzling. Even if no one dared to remind him, the old emperor quickly understood.
"Here, my name is Zhang Tingyu." The old emperor took a sip of the hot ginseng soup, calmed down, and started to do business.
"Chen Heng is here to prepare the edict. I am a first-class public minister and a minister in charge of political affairs. My uncle Tong Guowei has a loyal and courageous temperament and a great knowledge of weapons..."
The old emperor pulled out a large piece of gorgeous text in one breath, which made Yuzhu even have an illusion. Could it be that he had prepared the sacrificial text a long time ago?
According to the court's practice, no matter how much the old emperor's memorial tribute praised Tong Guowei, it was not as important as his posthumous title.
Yuzhu came to Changchun Garden, partly to report his funeral, and partly to ask for a good posthumous title.
In the Qing Dynasty, when an important civil official died, his posthumous title would usually begin with Wen.
However, although Tong Guowei once held a high position and had great fame, he has always been a military minister.
Therefore, Zhang Tingyu's initial posthumous title was: Duanchun according to the old emperor's wishes.
Yuzhu is not happy, Damn, what kind of posthumous title is it without Duan Chun at the beginning of the text?
After all, even if you don't dare to use Wenzheng as a posthumous title, Wen Duan, Wenzhong, Wen Xiang, etc., Tong Guowei is always qualified, right?
However, Duan Chun's posthumous title implicitly revealed the old emperor's dark thoughts that he had never stated clearly.
Yuzhu also knew very well in his heart that Tong Guowei had strongly supported Lao Ba as the crown prince, but the old emperor still hated him to this day.
"Khan Ama, my lord..." Yuzhu was about to complain, but was interrupted by the old emperor waving his hands, "That's it."
Yuzhu looked at the old emperor's face and swallowed the words as they came to his lips.
Compared with Tong Guowei's posthumous title, whether father and son Longkodo and Yuzhu can continue to hold great power is obviously much more important.
If the old emperor didn't take the initiative to seize love, Longkoduo and Yuzhu would both go home and stay behind closed doors.
Now, in the fifty-eighth year of Kangxi, the etiquette and customs followed by the Han officials have gradually spread among the Manchu officials.
Previously, according to the article, there were more than one or two foreign governors who requested the old emperor's permission to return to Beijing to maintain the system.
The old emperor had extremely rich experience in governing and made a decision quickly.
"Hengchen, drafted the edict, recommended Enlong Keduo, promised to be the first-class Cheng Engong, and ignored the hereditary succession. He was dismissed and retained in office."
After listening to the old emperor's arrangement, Yuzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The old emperor still had great trust in Longkodo.
The old emperor asked Long Ke to attack the first-class Duke, which paved the way for Yuzhu to take over the power of the Tong family in the future.
In fact, this comes second.
What is extremely important is, to whom will the military power in the capital be entrusted?
The so-called dismissal and retention in office means that Longkodo was nominally dismissed from his post, but he is still the acting nine-door admiral who can muster 30,000 troops.
The old emperor stared at Yuzhu, but did not express his position for a long time, obviously hesitant.
As long as Longkodo was still the admiral of the Nine Sects with a large number of troops, it didn't matter to him even if Yuzhu's official position was wiped out by the old emperor.
"My name is Lao Twelve." As expected, the old emperor had not forgotten his own son who was a professional feaster.
