Yuzhu was drinking tea in the inner study when he suddenly heard Wu Jiang's report coming from in front of the door.
"Back to you, the imperial envoy arrived at the door and asked the old lady to come with you to receive the order."
Yuzhu was a little strange. He had just returned from Changchun Garden. Why hadn't he heard the old emperor talk about it?
Now that the imperial edict had arrived at the door, Yuzhu had no choice but to change into court clothes and accompany Longkodo to welcome him out of the door.
Zhang Hongxu was crowded into the main room, turned around and stood in front of the incense table, facing the door, and said loudly: "There is an edict, Long Keduo, and the jade pillar receives the edict."
Longkoduo and Yuzhu quickly knelt down together to receive the order.
"I'm sending you an edict, the imperial concubine Tong Jia is from a famous family... I wish to return home to visit relatives and stay for a few days. I express my gratitude to you!"
Longkodo listened carefully and thought, oh, this is a huge happy event. He hurriedly said: "Slave Longkodo, please accept the order and thank me."
"My son Yuzhu, I accept the order and thank you for your kindness."
After Longkodo took over the order, Zhang Hongxu finished his errands, and hurriedly bent down and explained to Yuzhu with a smile on his face: "To be honest with you, Prime Minister, the empress of Jingren Palace was very attentive when serving the meal, and she won the praise of the emperor."
Your Majesty. As soon as Long live the Lord was happy, he promised my wife to return home to visit the bride."
Yuzhu nodded, thinking about the story in Dream of Red Mansions about the Jia family's plan to build a separate courtyard for marriage, so he asked Zhang Hongxu: "Old Zhang, is there any regulation in the palace for the queen's marriage?"
Zhang Hongxu bowed and said: "Back to the Prime Minister's Kingdom, before the villain came out, the empress specifically ordered me to tell the Prime Minister and Master Long that there should be no extravagance and waste."
Longkoduo glared and said loudly: "My mother has been away from home for so long. This is the first time for her to come home to visit relatives. Even if it costs me all my money, I will be happy. Yuzhu, don't you think so?"
Yuzhu smiled and nodded, and said: "What Amma said is absolutely true. It is the supreme honor of our mother-in-law family that my uncle comes back to visit us. No matter how much money we spend, it is necessary."
Longko was very happy and said with a smile: "You know my son is filial!"
When Zhang Hongxu saw the Tong family's statement, he couldn't help but secretly nod his head, and solemnly received the imperial concubine. He respected the Long Live Lord, and the Tong family and his son were not fools.
Moreover, Zhang Hongxu knew very well that Empress Tong of Jingren Palace had no children and had always regarded the jade pillar as her own cub.
To put it bluntly, even if Longkodo was reluctant to spend money, Yuzhu would never agree.
When Zhang Hongxu went back to submit the order, he recounted every word that Yuzhu and Longkodo said in detail, and he did so word for word.
After hearing this, the old emperor nodded slightly, thought for a while, and asked Zhang Hongxu: "Why do you think the Tong family is so happy?"
Zhang Hongxu was shocked and did not dare to say without any hesitation: "Long live the Lord's return, and the Queen's return to peace. This is the first time in decades. If the Tong family is not happy, they will be struck by lightning."
"Humph, you must know what I'm asking. If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will throw it into the lake to feed the bastard." The old emperor looked at Zhang Hongxu with a sinister look on his face.
Zhang Hongxu was horrified, and he quickly knelt down, kowtowed heavily, and said in a trembling voice: "After the queen returns to the province, the Tong family will definitely become more powerful."
"Well, the momentum is great, that's right, get out." The old emperor waved his hand, and Zhang Hongxu escaped alive in a rolling and crawling manner.
Over here, Longko spread his heroic message and invited relatives of the old Tong family to discuss the matter together.
You must know that in this era of inter-family relations, the return of the imperial concubine to visit relatives is not only a matter for Longkodo and his son, but also a top priority for the entire old Tong family.
Three days later, the elders of the family arrived one after another.
Because there were too many people, we could only sit in the yard in front of the main room.
When discussing family rituals, no matter how high Yuzhu's title or official position was, it was not easy for him to do it. He could only stand obediently behind Longkodo.
The old Tong family is really a big tree with deep roots. There are dozens of Tong family members who have served as ministers, governors, generals and governors.
Tong Yangzhen, the great ancestor of Yuzhu, was the eldest son of Tong Jun. He had two younger brothers, Tong Yangyuan and Tong Yangcui.
Tong Yangzhen had three sons, namely Tong Fengnian, Tong Shengnian and Tong Jingnian.
Among them, Tong Shengnian was Kangxi’s maternal grandfather, Tong Tulai.
Tong Tulai had three sons, the eldest son Tong Guoji, the second son Tong Guogang, and the third son Tong Guowei.
Before Tong Guowei died, he once told Yuzhu alone that although his great-uncle Tong Guoji was expelled from the family very early, he was still a member of the Tong family, so he should take care of him as much as possible.
Today, all the elders in Lao Tong's family who have status and status are here.
Among them, the oldest one is Tong Guowei's cousin, Tong Guoding, who was a former Jingzhou general.
Tong Guoding glanced at Yuzhu who was standing behind Longkodo, and said with a smile: "I never expected that I, an old man like me, would attend such a grand event before going to see my ancestors. From this, we can see that God is still
If you don’t want to accept me, go away.”
This statement is quite a bit like relying on one's old age and showing off one's old age!
Yuzhu knew in his heart that Tong Guoding said that on purpose.
Because Tong Xiao, Tong Guoding's grandson, was very unlucky when he participated in the selection of bodyguards.
This Tong Xiao is a typical dandy from the Eight Banners. When he was trying out his skills, he fired five arrows in a row and all of them missed the target.
That's all, he is definitely not the only one who missed the target, everyone is half-measured, the eldest brother should not laugh at the second brother.
The problem was that when Tong Xiao was riding on the horse, the old emperor happened to see her swaying and swaying.
The old emperor's nose was almost crooked with anger. He called Tong Xiao to him and cursed: "We in Manchuria are based on cavalry and archery. We are invincible. We only have 80,000 cavalry. When we enter the pass with great force, we can't count."
The Central Plains will be settled in the year of Dingding. You are a piece of shit, do you deserve to be named Tong Jia?"
To be honest, if the old emperor hadn't seen it with his own eyes, with Yuzhu's overwhelming power, it would not have been difficult to deceive the superiors and the inferiors.
Just like that, Tong Xiao, who was originally designated as the third-class shrimp, was completely eliminated!
The imperial concubine was the concubine of Tong Guowei and the younger sister of Longkodo. Her blood relationship with Tong Guoding was separated by several levels.
Tong Guoding deliberately said this, and it was obvious that he wanted to use this to force Yuzhu to come forward and help Tong Xiao find a suitable job.
After all, Tong Guoding is also an old general who has seen the world. He also knows that idleness and indolence are common problems among prodigal sons.
You can't be too idle, you must find a job to tie Tong Xiao's halter.
There were many elders present, and if Yuzhu wanted to speak, he would have to salute the entire audience, which was inconvenient.
Long Keduo thought for a while and was about to speak, but Qingtai beat him to it.
Qingtai stroked his beard and smiled, and said softly: "Uncle, to tell you the truth, it's a coincidence that my yamen is missing an eighth-grade pen sticker. Come back and ask Zhu'er to say hello to the staff.
I estimate there is 80% hope.”
Yuzhu's heart felt warm. Alas, Qingtai, the eighth uncle and grandma, is really considerate!
