As usual, Longkoduo went to Changchun Garden to report to the old emperor the developments in various prefectures in the capital.
At the end, when Longkodo knelt down, the old emperor suddenly asked him: "Your son has been impeached by so many people, are you not going to say a word for him?"
Longkodo kowtowed his head and said slowly: "Returning to my master, although Yuzhu has many bad habits and has made many mistakes, his buttocks have never been crooked. From beginning to end, he only listened.
This is your order, Master. I haven’t read any books and my words are rather vulgar. Please forgive me, Master.”
Kang Mazi nodded and motioned for Longkoto to continue.
Longkodo went on to say: "Let's talk about the slave. Since he is sitting in this position, he will naturally offend many people. However, the slave is not afraid of being impeached, because he understands in his heart that Master, you are a wise man.
The candle shines, and it’s like looking at a fire.”
By the way, Longkoduo's time serving the old emperor was really not short.
Since Tuoheqi, the real power of the Nine Admirals has become the duo of Longkodo and his son.
The temper of the old emperor, the more suspicious he is of you, the less likely you are to defend yourself.
Therefore, Longkodo did not touch the impeachment of Yuzhu at all, but reminded the old emperor from the side that the slaves, father and son, had a clear conscience.
The old emperor smiled noncommittally, waved his hand, and asked Longkodo to retreat.
After Longkodo left, the old emperor caught a glimpse of Zhang Tingyu who was taking notes on daily life. He couldn't help but ask him, "Hengchen, you read a lot. Tell me, what kind of person is Yuzhu?"
Zhang Tingyu has been waiting for a long time and finally has the right to speak.
"Back to the emperor, I always thought that both father and son were important officials of the imperial court, which was not good for the country." Zhang Tingyu stayed with the old emperor much longer than Longkodo, and he understood Kangxi's temper better.
The old emperor understood Zhang Tingyu's hint. Longkodo and his son could only reuse one person, not both.
Chen Fu, who was waiting on the side, secretly raised his thumb. He was indeed Zhang Hengchen, who was impeccable in his words and actions.
From beginning to end, Zhang Tingyu never said a bad word about Yuzhu, and seemed extremely objective.
In fact, Zhang Tingyu reminded the old emperor from the side that since Longkodo had been in power for so many years, it would be better to take the opportunity of knocking on the jade pillar to make Longkodo more loyal in his duties.
Why are the emperor's close ministers so feared?
I was just afraid that this extremely private occasion would lead to bad associations for the old emperor.
The old emperor was slightly stunned and looked deeply at Zhang Tingyu.
Zhang Tingyu was talking about the country, not the old emperor himself, so the meaning is quite profound.
In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a handful of people ruled over hundreds of millions of Han people. In addition to wanting to secure the throne, the old emperor also hoped that the country would last forever.
Objectively speaking, what the aging old emperor is most worried about now is the emergence of arbitrary and powerful ministers in the court.
The Tong family father and son have great power, and they do look a bit like powerful officials.
However, the old emperor was indeed too old and no longer had the energy to cultivate a credible Longkodo.
In order to test the Tong family and his son, the old emperor deliberately drove Yuzhu home to maintain control in order to reduce his power.
As a result, Yuzhu obeyed without making any noise, and the old emperor was naturally very satisfied.
Now, when Zhang Tingyu said this, the old emperor just moved the Buddhist beads in his hand without saying a word.
Zhang Tingyu was secretly frightened and worried. Fortunately, he did not say anything bad about Yuzhu, but tied Longkodo and Yuzhu together to talk about it.
Otherwise, if the provocation fails, you will suffer the consequences.
The old emperor was silent for a moment, then waved his hand casually, and Zhang Tingyu quickly knelt down.
After Zhang Tingyu left, the old emperor suddenly asked the eunuch Chen Fu: "Haha Zhusai, what you said last time is that Zhang Hengchen is not as loyal as he seems. It does make some sense."
Haha beads plug, also known as haha beads.
So far, among the old emperor’s Haha Zhusai eunuchs, Chen Fu is the only one left with great achievements.
Precisely because every death means one is missing, and it is extremely rare. Therefore, the old emperor valued Chen Fu particularly.
In front of the old emperor, Chen Fu has always been known for his outspokenness.
"Long live the saint, the candle shines brightly, why don't you know?" As soon as Chen Fu started chanting the saint, the old emperor knew that he had something to say.
"Tell me, now that things have happened, few people around me dare to tell the truth." As soon as the old emperor said this, Chen Fu quickly knelt down.
At first glance, this statement is indeed nothing.
In fact, combined with the current situation in the court, it is the old emperor's self-deprecation: the sun is declining and there are few followers.
Seeing Chen Fu kneeling, the old emperor glared and said angrily: "You are not young anymore. If you break your leg by kneeling, you will be in trouble. Get up quickly."
"Master, I also said that Longkoduo and Yuzhu are not good people. Especially Yuzhu, who is not only greedy for money and lustful, but also robs the wives of officials. This is simply unreasonable." Chen Fu relied on his words.
Sheng Chong added, "It's all your fault, Master."
After hearing this, the old emperor couldn't help but smile dumbly and praised Chen Fu: "Haha Zhusai, you are the only one in the world who dares to talk to me like this. You are very good."
"Master, I have been serving you for nearly a year, and I am rootless. I am not afraid to tell the truth." Chen Fu was absolutely right in what he said.
Chen Fu was also from Baoding. When he was only a few years old, his sinister parents sent him to have his roots cut off and he became a young eunuch in the palace.
At that time, Kang Mazi, who was still the third elder brother, unfortunately contracted smallpox and had to be sent out of the palace.
The great eunuchs who were originally serving Kang Mazi became so despicable that they all looked for ways to transfer him away.
However, Chen Fu was determined to take a chance on his luck, so he went to apply and accompanied Kang Mazi out of the palace.
This guy, no matter how talented he is, can't stand up to his good taste.
Who would have thought that Emperor Shunzhi died young and the Empress Dowager wanted to continue to be in power, so she chose eight-year-old Xuan Ye.
After the old emperor took charge, he promoted Chen Fu to the position of deputy general manager, but he never got close to him.
Why?
Although Chen Fu is commendable for his loyalty, the only drawback is that he speaks too bluntly.
Loyal advice may offend your ears, but I won't deceive you if you are sincere.
Now, except for Chen Fu, all the eunuchs Hazhusai around the old emperor are dead.
People talk a lot, even the old emperor likes to be nostalgic over and over again.
Chen Fu, who was the oldest and knew many past events, stood out from the huge crowd of eunuchs.
The old emperor once asked Chen Fu privately, how was Zhang Tingyu?
At that time, Chen Fu said that he was cautious, fearing that if he took even half a step wrong, his eldest daughter would act loyal.
However, Chen Fu's criticism of Yuzhu became even more intense. He was greedy for money and lust, and used power for his own purposes.
However, the Jade Party clique only has a few hawks and dogs, which is nothing to worry about.
