The old emperor forgot his words, and everyone expected Yuzhu to come out and supplement the words, but Yuzhu deliberately pretended to be dumb and refused to take the initiative.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became quite awkward.
Ma Qi looked at Yuzhu and then at the old emperor. He hesitated whether he should come out to make a show to prevent the old emperor from making a fool of himself.
However, before Ma Qi could think about it, the old emperor had already given the order.
"Yuzhu, you are young and have a good memory. From now on, you must remind me in time if I don't remember things, understand?" The old emperor was also a little angry and forgot his words one after another. Am I really old?
"Hey." Yuzhu answered very readily, but he didn't think so in his heart.
When the time comes, when it's time to act stupid, he will definitely continue to act stupid.
Who doesn’t understand the principle that the first bird will be killed first, and the first bird will perish first? This is similar cultural dregs.
Yuzhu knew very well that the old emperor probably suffered from mild Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease after a mild stroke.
The consequence of the combination of the three diseases is not only great forgetfulness, but also frequent uncontrollable hand tremors.
There is no way. Among the five old people in the central hall, three are over seventy years old, two are close to seventy years old, and Yuzhu has just passed his thirties. If the old emperor doesn't look for him, who will he look for?
The old emperor cursed Suo Etu, but in reality, Yuzhu knew that the person the old emperor feared the most in his life could only be Wu Sangui.
If not, Wu Sangui would have been too old when he raised his army and died in Hunan.
There must be a big question mark as to whether the Qing Dynasty can still hold the world firmly.
After the old emperor was satisfied with his scolding, he picked up the tea cup with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Song Zhu, Yuzhu, you can discuss the matter of the fourteenth's return to the capital. I'm tired too."
"Slave, please retire."
"I excuse myself."
"Your Majesty, please retire."
After going out, Song Zhu led Yuzhu to Wuyizhai in the southwest corner of Changchun Garden.
The Forbidden City and Changchun Garden each have a Wuyizhai.
Wuyizhai in Changchun Garden used to be where the old emperor stored antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but now it has been transformed into an office space for the accompanying bachelors.
After the guests and hosts were seated, Song Zhu smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest with you, Mr. Long Live, I insist on welcoming the Fourteenth Master back to the capital with a courtesy that exceeds that of a prince. If I agree, I will be exceeding the limit."
Yuzhu smiled slightly, Song Zhu was just telling lies.
Song Zhu is old and mature, is he afraid of exceeding the limit?
What if the new emperor ascends the throne but is not the Fourteenth Emperor? Then Song Zhu, who presides over the standard to welcome the Fourteenth Emperor, will definitely be settled by the Queen of Autumn.
The good location in the court has always been a carrot and a pit!
Song Zhu is already 65 years old, and his days are numbered to the naked eye.
However, Song Zhu is not alone. Behind him, there is the huge Hesheli family.
Although Songzhu also had the surname Hesheli, he was only distantly related to Sony and Suo'etu, and their blood relationship could be completely ignored.
Sony, Suo'etu, belongs to the Mu Hulu Governor-General's line, and is subordinate to Xianghuang Banner Manchuria.
Songzhu, on the other hand, is the Baiyindai branch of the Hesheli family and is affiliated with Xiangbai Banner Manchuria.
In fact, Songzhu's family roots are all in Manchuria, and his Ma Fa and Ama are hereditary leaders of Manchuria.
"Lao Zhongtang, what kind of ceremony is it beyond the ceremony of a prince?" Yuzhu calmly counterattacked Song Zhu's army.
Song Zhu's expression changed drastically, and Yu Zhu opened his mouth and asked about something fatal.
The old fox Song Zhu was deliberately vague and wanted to get away with it.
However, in this dynasty, isn’t the so-called gift that goes beyond the prince’s gift the prince’s gift?
Yuzhu deliberately hit the point, but did not allow Song Zhu to dodge any further.
If you want me to cooperate, that's fine, but you also need to make your words clear, right?
The old emperor specially arranged for Yuzhu to assist Song Zhu. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Song Zhu.
Song Zhu is also an old bureaucrat.
He did not dare to obey the old emperor's instructions, but he kept them in mind and waited for changes.
Anyway, the words to greet the Fourteenth as a crown prince must not come out of Song Zhu's mouth.
More than ten years ago, before Yuzhu passed the criminal examination, he and Lao Shili became enemies.
Now, it is even more impossible for Yuzhu to open an eye for the fourteenth old man.
Seeing Song Zhu, he was speechless. Yuzhu just drank tea and said nothing.
The benefits of being an official and a deputy are fully reflected.
Songzhu is in charge of the overall situation, and Yuzhu is just assisting from the side. You can do whatever you tell him!
In fact, Song Zhu also knew that Yuzhu was very difficult to deal with. He had already thought of a clever way to escape, but he just needed Yuzhu's cooperation.
"Qing Qing, how do you and I know what the etiquette of a prince is?" Song Zhu said there was a lot of mystery in this statement.
Yuzhu immediately became energetic and stared at Song Zhu with bright eyes.
Song Zhu also understood that if he didn't express his stance first, Yuzhu would definitely not be able to follow suit.
"Among the clan, Prince Zhuang's status is the most noble. You know that, right?" Song Zhu said this, obviously wanting to drag Prince Zhuang into trouble and make him a scapegoat.
Yuzhu thought for a moment, hey, if King Zhuang was unlucky and it was Song Zhu who did it, the Second Princess wouldn't be resentful of him, right?
After Song Zhu was forced to reveal his true thoughts, Yu Zhu still only drank tea and said nothing.
Hey, let's talk about the terms. Song Zhu played his cards first, so he lost half of it. What's Yuzhu's need to worry about?
Seeing that Yuzhu still refused to say anything, Song Zhu thought about it and had to increase the conditions.
"There is a vacancy for the governor of Shanxi..." Song Zhu deliberately only said half of the sentence, waiting for Yuzhu's response.
Yuzhu understood as soon as he heard it. Among the key members in his pocket, the person closest to this position could only be Yang Sen, the assistant minister who was promoted with one hand.
"Well, Prince Zhuang is highly virtuous and highly respected, so he must be worthy of a great responsibility!" Yuzhu naturally relaxed after receiving the appropriate benefits.
Looking at the calm Yuzhu, Song Zhu thought to himself, how could it be so cheap if it were someone else?
Even though Song Zhu was the chief Manchu scholar, the memorials he drafted had to go through the hands of the internal minister Yuzhu.
If Yuzhu hadn't really been able to restrain him, how could Song Zhu have been willing to use the governor of Shanxi as a bargaining chip?
As we all know, Shanxi has a lot of local wealth. In Shanxi, there are at least a hundred large Shanxi merchants who have more than one million taels of silver in their homes.
When he was the governor of Shanxi, he only got back seven to eight hundred thousand taels of silver, so he was considered an upright official with little corruption.
Song Zhu was afraid of changes, so he took advantage of the good opportunity of Yuzhu's presence to draft a memorial in his own hand.
Yuzhu took the memorial and took a closer look. Good fellow, Song Zhu is indeed a well-educated prime minister. Every word in the memorial is exquisite.
According to Song Zhu, if King Zhuang does not personally take charge of receiving the Fourteenth, it would be the greatest disrespect for the Fourteenth!
Song Zhu copied it again, signed and stamped it, and then gently pushed the folder in front of Yuzhu.
Yuzhu smiled slightly, took the pen in his hand, and added four words at the end of the fold: Chen'er seconded the proposal, signed his name and sealed it.
When Song Zhu received the joint memorial, he asked Yuzhu: "Can you trust me so much?"
The implication is, what should I do if I break the contract?
Yuzhu curled his lips and smiled, and said lightly: "Old Zhongtang, it's impossible for you to break the contract, so why should I be afraid?"
Full of confidence and momentum!
