The fourteenth old man is about to return to Beijing.
The old emperor was extremely happy and issued an edict, ordering Song Zhu, the chief Manchu scholar, to lead the seventh-rank and above Beijing officials to prepare to go collectively to the suburbs thirty miles away to welcome the fourteenth old man.
Jiaoying is also divided into levels.
When Yuzhu was the general of Fuyuan, he also enjoyed the treatment of Jiaoying.
However, the Jiao Ying who greeted the Yuzhu was just beside the city gate.
When someone has something good to do, he once joked that he would be welcomed by the city gate.
Being greeted at the city gate is the highest courtesy that a minister can enjoy.
Well now, Fourteenth is actually enjoying the treatment of a suburban welcome thirty miles away, which is amazing.
According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty ceremony, it is the emperor's courtesy to welcome people thirty miles away from the capital.
In the past, when the deposed prince Yin Reng was at his most powerful, he had never enjoyed the treatment of being welcomed by the capital thirty miles away.
After the fourth child learned the news, others could not tell the difference due to his usual facial paralysis.
However, the beads in Lao Si's hand were spinning faster and faster, and Yuzhu noticed his nervousness.
To put it bluntly, the higher the salary of the fourteenth, the closer the fourth is to being eliminated.
The fourth child and the fourteenth child are biological brothers, and the fourth child is ten years older than the old child.
When he was fourteen years old, the fourth child's adoptive mother, Empress Xiaoyi, Tong Jia, passed away.
However, after the funeral, when Lao Si went to Yonghe Palace to visit his biological mother, Concubine De, Concubine De had been holding four-year-old Lao Si in her arms.
Although Concubine De's words were beautiful and her attitude was gentle, the fourth child, who had just lost his mother, was still keenly aware that Concubine De did not like him, and there was a looming sense of alienation.
Later, when the fourth child became more mature, he realized that Concubine De hated his adoptive mother, Tong Jia.
Because after the eighth daughter born to Tong Jia died in infancy, she had nothing to do with anything. In order to maintain her favor, she dedicated her little palace maid Wu Ya (Victory Concubine) to the old emperor.
The concubine De at that time suffered a lot from the foster mother of the fourth child, and later she disliked the fourth child.
Whenever she saw the fourth child, Concubine De couldn't help but think of the humiliating past in Jingren Palace.
The humiliating past is too numerous to describe and is completely unbearable to look back on.
The return of the Fourteenth Prince to the capital was definitely something worth writing about in the last years of the Xi Dynasty.
Hehe, just let the fourth child suffer!
Yuzhu's name did not appear in the imperial edict, so there was no need to go to Changchun Garden with Lao Si and Lao Thirteen to deliver the edict.
"Fourth brother, thirteenth brother, I will take my leave first." Yuzhu bowed to the ground and planned to take the first step.
Old Thirteen took the look from Old Four and quickly grabbed Yuzhu, saying with a smile: "Good brother, you can't leave." He dragged Yuzhu to Changchun Garden.
Yuzhu felt strange, so he asked Lao Shisan: "I can just go back to the guard's office. Why go to Changchun Garden?"
"Oh, the attack in Henan was too harsh this time. If you don't help share the burden, I'm afraid Khan Amar Longyan will be angry." Lao Shisan rubbed his hands and smiled unnaturally.
Yuzhu couldn't help but smile dumbly. This guy, Lao Si, was really ruthless in Henan. He ransacked the homes of nearly a hundred officials, gentry and grain merchants, causing him endless infamy.
Moreover, Yuzhu was determined. Before they arrived in Beijing, the package to impeach the fourth child for his misdeeds must have been handed over to Changchun Garden.
"Brother Thirteen, if I go to Changchun Garden, I will most likely kneel with you, so why bother dragging me into the water?" Yuzhu played tricks and refused to see the old emperor.
Old Thirteen also knew that Yu Zhu was absolutely right, so he gritted his teeth, did not look at Old Four, and simply let Yu Zhu go.
On the way home, Yuzhu sighed secretly in his heart, Lao Shisan was still so loyal.
However, no matter how much Old Thirteen persuaded him, Yuzhu could not accompany Old Four to see the old emperor.
The old emperor has almost revealed his cards, and if Yuzhu still gets too close to the fourth child, then he is seeking his own death.
Yuzhu has always been a pure minister. The only way to protect himself is to neither get close to the fourth nor the fourteenth.
Compared with the low-key Lao Si, Lao SiFour's goal is bigger and more dangerous.
If Yuzhu is so stupid as to go and make friends with Lao Shi4, disaster will happen in a blink of an eye.
After more than ten years of dealing with each other, Yuzhu had almost 90% understanding of the old emperor's temper.
Even if Yuzhu went overboard on minor issues that had nothing to do with imperial power, the old emperor would not care too much.
So far, Yuzhu has contradicted the old emperor only a handful of times, and all of them were to protect his woman.
Contradicting the old emperor is easier said than done. In fact, as long as you are not careful, you will fall into an abyss.
Fortunately, Yuzhu has always grasped the sense of proportion.
After the man returned home, Xiuyun saw that he was in a good mood, so he said jokingly: "Excuse me, why are you so happy?"
Yuzhu happened to be scratched, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "To tell you the truth, the women in the house are all settled, so I am naturally happy."
Xiuyun immediately understood that Yuzhu took Qian Yinglan south specifically in the hope that she would become pregnant.
Among the top wealthy families these days, there is a huge difference in treatment between those with children and those without children.
Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about Liu Taiqing. She is not too young and she had given birth to a son and a daughter for other men before.
However, since the birth of Xiao Qiujue, the fifth son of a concubine, who in the family dared to neglect Liu Taiqing?
Longkodo was not in the house. After Yuzhu changed his clothes, he led Xiuyun and the children to visit Li Si'er.
When Yuzhu entered the hospital, he happened to see Bajiu coming out of the house, so he deliberately teased him: "You are already a grown man, how can you behave in such a hurry?"
Eighty-nine looked up and saw that Yuzhu was back. He immediately came over with a smile and said mysteriously: "Brother, Enie is sulking in the room. He keeps scolding our Ama, who is shameless in killing a thousand swords."
Yuzhu immediately understood that Longkoduo's scandal of raising a mistress outside had finally come to light.
Now is the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi, Yuzhu is thirty-one years old, Li Si'er must be old and yellow.
These days, there is neither sheep placenta nor hyaluronic acid.
Li Si'er, who is in his fifties, can no longer arouse Longkodo's desire no matter how well he takes care of himself.
Objectively speaking, Yuzhu has long known about Longkodo's scandalous affairs with women outside.
However, as long as Longkodo didn't bring the woman in, Yuzhu simply pretended not to know.
The logic is not complicated.
Even if Longkodo had an illegitimate child outside, it would not be able to affect Yuzhu's fundamental interests at all.
At best, Yuzhu just recognizes another concubine and shares some of his family property in the future, which is not a big deal.
As the saying goes, when you are drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman, you wake up and take over the world.
Objectively speaking, with Longkodo's power and status, he has endured it for so many years and only raised a foreign daughter two years ago. He is already very self-disciplined.
To put it bluntly, in the past, Longkodo really liked Li Si'er. Now, what Longkodo really cares about is Yuzhu's feelings. He couldn't bear it any longer, so he stole something outside.
However, now that Li Si'er already knows, it is definitely unjustifiable for Yuzhu, as his own son, to continue to act stupid.
