Chapter 8 Choosing a Teacher

When I first heard it, Yuzhu's words were indeed outrageous and incompatible with etiquette.

However, when Li Si'er thought about it carefully, he felt that it made sense. Brothers and sisters who were directly related to each other were both damaged and prosperous. How could they be so clearly distinguished?

To put it bluntly, as long as Yuzhu is strong enough, Yuyan will have a good life!

"Hey, when will these miserable days of being nameless and statusless come to an end?" Li Si'er looked glorious on the surface, but in fact he was suffering a lot in his heart.

Yuzhu put down his chopsticks, took the handkerchief handed over by the girl, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the three of us, mother and son, will soon enter Tong's house in a glorious and honorable manner."

Li Si'er didn't believe this crazy talk. She sighed: "For more than ten years, it's nothing for a despicable woman like me. I just suffered for you and Yu Yan."

Although they were mother and son, Li Si'er couldn't hide things in her heart, and Yuzhu didn't dare to tell her in detail.

According to Yuzhu's understanding, although Tong Guowei was an open party member, he did not want to offend the prince to death.

After all, the prince's biological mother's surname was Hesheli. Objectively speaking, unless the prince fell, it would be difficult for Li Si'er, mother and son to enter the Tong family.

However, as Tong Guowei gradually aged, Longkodo's holy family became prosperous, and the balance of power within the Tong family became more and more tilted towards Longkodo.

In his later years, Kangxi, in addition to becoming increasingly suspicious, also became overjoyed at success.

What Yuzhu calculated was that a 14- or 5-year-old Manchu Jinshi would be able to get a lot of advantage from Kangxi, right?

Because the golden sign of Manchu Jinshi was too dazzling, Nian Gengyao, who was not yet thirty years old, had already become the second-rank governor of Sichuan.

This person, if you want others to think highly of you, you must have strength yourself!

After dinner, Yuzhu played with his sister for a while, then returned to the study to continue practicing calligraphy.

After the pacification of the Three Feudatories, the bannermen gradually became Sinicized. Among the princes and nobles, there were fewer and fewer people who could speak Manchu and Mongolian.

Yuzhu thought about how many teachers he should hire, one each for eight-part essay, Manchu, and Mongolian.

Unexpectedly, during breakfast the next day, Longkodo did not go to the Yamen because he wanted to ask for a teacher.

"I asked someone to inquire, and the imperial censors of this dynasty were all selected from the Hanlin Academy." Long Kedo had ten thousand bad things, and he favored Yuzhu, but it was not false.

"It's a coincidence that among your Mafa disciples, there is a guy who has served as a censor for three years." Long Keduo showed a proud smile, "That guy's name is Tang Bing, and he looks like a gentleman on the surface.

In fact, he is an ugly person who picks up dust."

"To tell you the truth, I have Tang Bing's clues in my hands. I'm not afraid that he won't teach you carefully."

Long Keduo dreamed that Yuzhu could pass the Manchurian Jinshi examination, which would definitely be a beautiful thing to honor his ancestors.

Taking advantage of Long Keduo's happy opportunity, Yuzhu took advantage of the opportunity and put forward the request to ask a teacher to teach Manchu and Mongolian.

Longkoduo narrowed his eyes, thought about it carefully, and said with a smile: "Your eighth uncle has always been on good terms with me, so you are right to ask him to help you find someone under the banner."

When the family is prosperous and powerful, things are easy to do. Difficult things that trouble most people's minds are just a matter of words here in Longkodo.

Longkodo's eighth brother, named Qingtai, is currently the deputy commander-in-chief and assistant leader of the Xianglan Banner in Manchuria. Although Qingtai and Longkodo were not born from the same mother, the relationship between the brothers is beyond words.

After the matter was settled, Long Ke took a sip of tea and suddenly asked Yuzhu: "Did you meet the eighth master, ninth master, tenth master and fourteenth master yesterday?"

Yuzhu knew Longkodo's thoughts and was afraid that he would get too close to the prince's elder brother and arouse the emperor's unwarranted suspicion.

After all, Longkodo held a dangerous position and had to pretend to be a pure minister in front of Kangxi.

On the surface, Longkodo only had a certain personal relationship with his eldest brother Yinti, and he kept a distance from the rest of his brothers.

"Don't worry, Amma, my son wants to learn from you, and he only wants to be a pure minister in the future." Yuzhu is still young and needs Longkodo's full support, so he naturally has to pretend to be obedient.

"Very good, we don't need to cling to any prince." Long Keduo nodded with satisfaction and said confidently, "Lao Jiu loves money. His handle is that I have many young and old here. It's really embarrassing for him.

I drank several bottles of it. Just don’t openly contradict that bastard Old Ten, that’s all.”

The stewards around Yuzhu, Chang Sui and the guard with a knife, were all personally selected by Longkoduo. He naturally knew that Yuzhu and several elder brothers only met by chance and had no personal contact with each other.

Longkodo didn't mention Lao Ba and Lao Fourteen, but Yuzhu's heart was open. Kangxi had not yet deposed the crown prince, and Tong Guowei was both the uncle of the state and an open party to Ba Ye. No matter what Lao Ba did, he could not embarrass him.

As for the Fourteenth, it was too arrogant to be raised by Concubine De. After seeing this middle-class boy yesterday, Yuzhu felt that it was normal for the Fourth to take away the throne that originally belonged to him.

In fact, Yuzhu had already guessed that Longkoduo and Si Age must be secretly connected.

It is impossible for any big and well-established family to put all their eggs into one basket.

Since Tong Guowei openly supports the eighth elder brother, Longkodo can only secretly support the fourth elder brother.

The second eldest son, Yin Reng, had been the crown prince for decades and was extremely powerful, so he had no shortage of support.

The eldest brother Yinti is a reckless man who only likes bow dancing and riding horses, the third child is a sour scholar with no ability, the fifth child has an injury on his face, the seventh child has a leg problem, the ninth child only loves money, and the tenth child is a idiot.

The biological mothers of these three princes, Lao Fifteen, Lao Sixteen, and Lao Seventeen, were all Han Chinese, so they had no chance of ascending to the throne.

The remaining princes are either too young or do not have the support of the powerful maternal clan and cannot succeed.

In this case, Longkodo chose to support Lao Si, which was a wise choice from the perspective of speculative returns.

However, after Yongzheng ascended the throne, Longkoduo was imprisoned and died! Yuzhu's fate was also tragic. He suddenly fell ill and died of a sudden illness while being exiled to Liaodong.

Longkodo never mentioned anything about Li Wu. He was obviously tired of him for a long time, but he just kept it quiet because of Li Si'er's sake.

Now, Yuzhu personally took action and dealt with Li Wu and his accomplices. Even if Li Si'er knew about it, he would not make trouble with Long Keduo. Long Keduo was naturally happy to pretend to be confused.

While Yuzhu was practicing calligraphy, Wu Jiang came to report that Hu Biao, the chief steward, had returned and was waiting outside the second door.

Li Si'er doesn't follow the rules, but Hu Biao must be sensible. If the master doesn't call him, he won't dare to step even half a step into the second door without permission, even if he has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard.

"Ask him to come in." Yuzhu glanced at Wu Jiang and gave the order calmly.

Hu Biao is a slave born in the Tong family. Although he is very good at doing things, his real master is Longkodo.

Long Keduo knew everything about Yuzhu's absence, and it was probably Hu Biao who reported it secretly.
