The old emperor's desk was filled with papers on Yuzhu's impeachment.
Since he had frightened the snake, the old emperor had been quietly observing in secret, wanting to see Yuzhu's reaction.
Who would have thought that more than a month had passed and there was no movement from Yuzhu's side, as if the officials were impeaching irrelevant people.
According to the secret report from the eyeliner, Yuzhu has been staying behind closed doors, and his daily activities are very regular.
In the morning, noon and evening, each person smokes incense once and kowtows nine times. Then, the cat goes back to the inner study to read.
As for what Yuzhu did in the inner study, even if Kang Mazi had an ambush in advance, his eyesight was completely dark.
"Tell Seiler to go see the jade pillar." The old emperor thought about it carefully and finally chose Seiler.
In essence, Sailer was the old emperor's confidant, and he was also Yuzhu's cousin-in-law.
After gaining this level of kinship, he asked Sailer to find Yuzhu, which would neither show off nor reveal anything.
Since the fifty-fifth year of Kangxi's reign, ministers throughout the dynasty have been secretly guessing, how long can the old emperor live?
There is definitely no definite answer to this kind of speculation.
However, Yuzhu knew very well in his heart that this was only the fifty-eighth year of Kangxi, and there were still three years left before the sixty-first year of Kangxi.
Now that Yuzhu is free, he has enough time to arrange many things.
As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
It's still very early, why are you in a hurry?
A hundred days after Tong Guowei's death, Yuzhu's students also came to attend classes.
The emperor's grandchildren do not have the pressure of imperial examinations, but they have the need to study and understand.
Yuzhu's three students include Hong Yun from the fourth family, Hong Hao from the fifth family, and Hong Shu from the seventh family.
Among them, Hong Yun and Hong Hao are the same age, and Hong Yun is only a few months older.
As for Hong Shu from Lao Qi's family, he stopped coming to class because he was married.
The old emperor pointed out to Hongshu that he was the Mongolian official wife, whose surname was Borjigit, and she was the daughter of Luo Zhan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Borzigit Rozhan is also the cousin-in-law of Borzigit Ceren.
As we all know, Ce Leng has always been on good terms with Yuzhu. Therefore, Luo Zhan is also close to Yuzhu on weekdays and often walks around.
Hong Yun in history has ascended to heaven long ago.
Thanks to Yuzhu's intervention, Hongyun, who continued to exercise every day, not only survived, but his health and bones improved day by day.
One month before Tong Guowei's death, the old emperor also proposed marriage to Hongyun.
Hong Yun's unmarried wife was Wei Jia, the eldest daughter of the "Baoyi Da" warrior Yi (also known as Fifty-one) under the Manchurian Zhenghuang banner.
Baoyida is the leader of Baoyi, which is also the little boss of Xinzheku.
It is also very interesting to say that this Wei Jia family happened to be the biological mother of Emperor Jiaqing and the biological aunt of Concubine Ling.
One of the characteristics of Yuzhu's personal teaching is that it breaks away from Confucian classics and only talks about specific social phenomena and how to deal with them.
To put it bluntly, Yuzhu used heuristic methods to achieve the purpose of making the two students understand.
The so-called clear principles are not Neo-Confucian classics, but the basic human logic of social operation.
Of course, Yuzhu will not touch any sensitive areas.
However, just like that, the fourth child once praised Yuzhu to the thirteenth child: he is transparent and reasonable, and he is humane and sophisticated!
Lao Wu was originally very fond of Hong Hao, and now he loves him as much as his life.
When Sailer arrived, Yuzhu was imparting his experience in river management.
"The difficulties in regulating the river are: firstly, the river bed is silted up; secondly, the water of the Huaihe River is shallow; thirdly, the river course has been changed repeatedly. The most important thing is that the canal and the Yellow River are used at the same time..."
"My teacher once built the embankment of the Yellow River with Prince Yong..." When Yuzhu said this, Hongyun quickly stood up and stood with his hands solemnly raised.
Well, according to etiquette, when outsiders mention my father and ancestors, I must stand in awe to show respect.
Seiler had been working as an errand in the capital for a long time. He had never heard of the basic principles of river management. He almost subconsciously stopped and listened.
Enjoy it with relish.
Because Seile is his cousin-in-law who has not yet left the fifth service, Yuzhu once ordered that when Seile comes, he can be taken directly into the house without any notification.
Therefore, Kang Mazi sent Seile to find out the true and false status of the jade pillar, which can be said to be a good use of people.
However, Wu Jiang, who came with him, could not let Sailer listen to the corner for too long.
Wu Jiang coughed lightly and said politely: "Master Sai, please let Rong Xiao go in and report." He said the voice deliberately loudly, so the jade pillar inside could definitely hear it.
However, Yuzhu inside did not stop teaching, but kept talking non-stop.
Wu Jiang retreated to Seile's side and lowered his voice and said, "Master Se, you also know that our master is always very selfless when he is in a mood."
Sailer knew in his heart that Wu Jiang, who was Yuzhu's confidant and the chief steward, talked to him in such a lowly manner just because he, Sailer, was the husband-in-law of Yuzhu's cousin.
Before Yuzhu Dingyou resigned, he had always been Sailer's immediate boss who was out of reach.
If Sailer was not Yuzhu's cousin-in-law, to put it bluntly, he would have no right to sit down and reply in front of Yuzhu.
Sailer was led into the flower hall next door by Wu Jiang. After the maid served tea, Sailer couldn't help but nodded secretly.
All the snacks are plain. From Wujiang to the maid, they are all dressed in plain clothes, without any colored clothes.
It can be seen that, at least around Yuzhu, everyone abides by the rules.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go back from luxury to frugality.
These days, the system of many wealthy families is only glossy on the surface, but dark on the inside.
There are some who eat meat in secret, some who don't wear hemp clothes, and some who can't resist women's lust and make women's bellies bigger, just to name a few.
Sailer is a close relative of Lao Tong's family. He knows the situation of Lao Tong's family very well because he pays close attention to it.
Longkodo and Tong Guowei have been at odds with each other for decades. This is not surprising.
What is more rare is that Yuzhu did not grow up next to Tong Guowei, and it is really rare for him to be so abiding by the rules.
When Yuzhu finished teaching and came to meet the guests, Sailer bowed to Zha Qian respectfully.
"Your Majesty, Sailer, please be at peace in the middle hall."
Yuzhu nodded and reminded in a low voice: "I am no longer a cabinet scholar. I will not call you Zhongtang from now on. This sounds a little jarring."
Sailer bowed and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to obey my orders because of my humble position. Once I am a member of the church, I will always be a member of the church. I respect you from the bottom of my heart as a person."
Yuzhu glanced at Sailer with some surprise, "Well, it's only been a few days since we last met, and Sailer has become more talkative."
After Yuzhu sat down, Sailer just stood aside with a straight face, not daring to go beyond his duty at all.
Yuzhu couldn't help but smile dumbly. The more serious Sailer was, the more it proved that he was here under orders.
As for whose order you took, there is no need to ask?
However, Yuzhu followed the example of Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty and opened the door to welcome guests. His heart was unusually magnanimous. Why should he be afraid?
