Since Lao Si secretly played his cards and wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain, Yuzhu only had two choices.
The first is to replace the old fourteenth and serve as the general of Fuyuan to expedition to the snowy region.
The other is to stay in the capital and firmly hold nearly 40,000 troops.
The temper of the old emperor in his later years is actually somewhat similar to that of a child.
The more you want something, the less he will give it to you.
On the contrary, things that Yuzhu doesn't care about often come unexpectedly.
Originally, Yuzhu could actually make his choice at will, whether he led troops to go on an expedition or stayed in the capital.
The logic is actually not complicated. After Yuzhu led the troops out, there is a high probability that Long Ke will return to the infantry commander's post.
Because the old emperor can now entrust only a handful of important ministers to his back.
Longkodu stayed in the capital, and Yuzhu only had to concentrate on dealing with Nian Gengyao in the future, and did not need to worry about the safety of his wives, concubines, and children.
More importantly, even though Longkodo supported Lao Si as emperor, just like in history.
Even if the fourth child was afraid of the Tong family and his son, he would not dare to easily seize Yuzhu or Longkodo's military power.
Think about it, what would your own father, who controls the capital's military forces, think if you touch someone's own son?
As for staying in the capital, hehe, it will naturally be more beneficial to Yuzhu.
As long as the old emperor dies, Yuzhu will take advantage of the situation and support the new emperor, and he will have the upper hand.
This opportunity is the righteous honor of the king and his ministers!
After all, the foundation of the Eight Banners of Manchuria is in the capital.
As long as Yuzhu, like Obai, can unite one faction to beat another, throw bricks mixed with sand, and find a few thorns to exterminate the clan and establish his power, he will not have to worry about being unable to control the situation in the capital.
Of course, everything has pros and cons.
After the fourth brother is no longer the new king, if Nian Gengyao, who has always been unruly and rebellious, joins forces with the fourth son, he will have more than 200,000 enemies!
No matter how much we criticize the Qing Dynasty, we must admit the fact that the elites at the beginning of the founding of the Qing Dynasty were quite intelligent in fighting.
After Lao Nu, Hou Jin experienced three fierce internal struggles over the succession of the throne.
When Huang Taiji came to power, the concubine Abahai became a victim of burial.
Shunzhi came to power, and Sony, Obai and Dorgon were also on the verge of a fight. In the end, Hauge became the victim.
When the old emperor came to power, it was because the Empress Dowager combined the power of the four ministers to suppress the Manchu forces that supported Yue Le.
On the surface, it looks safe, but in fact, there is still an undercurrent surging.
These three internal fights all had a common feature: the nobles of the Eight Banners fought without defeat, and did not develop to the point of fighting each other.
On the other hand, in the late Ming Dynasty, the capital city was captured by bandits, Chongzhen was hanged on a coal mountain, and Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the pass.
The various forces in Nanming are still fighting bloody internal battles because of their different interests.
If the various forces in the Southern Ming Dynasty could unite, endure each other for the sake of the country, and jointly conduct the Northern Expedition, how could the Chinese people be reduced to a situation where money is the rat's tail behind their heads?
"Hui Khan, Brother Fourteen just has a bad temper. Just change it. I think that Brother Fourteen has outstanding military exploits and is powerful in the western border..." Yuzhu praised the old Fourteenth Brother,
The topic changed, "Changing commanders before battle is a taboo for military strategists, so we must pay attention to it."
The old emperor was certainly neither a saint nor a benevolent emperor, but he was a qualified emperor.
The father and son of the Tong family were in charge of more than 200,000 troops at home and abroad. This was not only the trust and favor of the old emperor, but also a taboo!
In history, all heroes have the confidence to control the situation.
For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty re-appointed Wei Qing as a general and at the same time awarded Huo Qubing an elite mobile cavalry. He was not afraid at all that the two of them would join forces to rebel.
The old emperor can decide freely whether to give the northwest military power or not. However, Yuzhu must not take the initiative to worry about it.
Therefore, Yuzhu immediately distanced himself from the connection that he wanted to seize military power, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the old emperor.
"Yuzhu, who do you think you are? I sit upright and behave well. I don't need you to say good things to me. Do you understand?"
When the old emperor asked Yuzhu, the fourteenth old man could not bear it for a long time. However, he had just made a mistake and did not have the courage to refute the old emperor face to face.
After Yuzhu's long speech, the fourteenth man quickly jumped in front of the old emperor to express his position and drew a clear line with Yuzhu.
The old emperor frowned and reprimanded the fourteenth man coldly: "What kind of behavior is there to disobey the emperor? Kneel outside."
Old Fourteen went out angrily.
In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign, when the crown prince was deposed, the old emperor angrily scolded the eighth elder brother for pursuing great ambitions and attempting to murder Yin Reng. The fourth elder brother stepped forward and said loudly: The eighth elder brother has no such intention, and I am willing to protect him!
For a moment, the old emperor was very angry, drew his sword, and wanted to kill the fourteenth old man.
In this matter, it seems that the fourteenth son was disobedient and contradicted the king's father.
Afterwards, the old emperor thought about it carefully and felt that the fourteenth old man was affectionate and righteous.
Since then, the political situation of Lao Shi4 has gradually become bullish.
After the fourteenth man retreated, the old emperor stared at Yuzhu and asked: "Zhu'er, you really don't want to go to the northwest?"
Yuzhu nodded heavily and said with a smile on his face: "Ms. Liu is about to give birth, I am very worried."
"Hmph, a man should make contributions on the frontier. It's better for you, you are addicted to women, and the love between your children is not what it looks like..." The old emperor scolded the jade pillar angrily.
As for the jade pillar, it goes in from the left ear and out from the right ear, just think it's a wind in the ears.
If there were no big flaws that the old emperor could take care of at any time, Yuzhu would have fallen long ago!
"Old Fourteen is too arrogant and must be taught a lesson." After the old emperor set the tone, he suddenly asked Yuzhu, "The third elder brother is capable of both literary and military skills. Can he take on this important task?"
Yuzhu knew that the old emperor was obviously testing him deliberately.
In the thirty-fifth year of Kangxi's reign, the old emperor once again personally conquered Galdan, and the third son was ordered to take charge of the Xianghongqi Camp.
With this level of qualifications, the third child is actually qualified to serve as a commander.
To be honest, whether it is learning, calligraphy, or riding and shooting, among the many princes, the third child's performance is extremely outstanding.
It's just that the third child made a big mistake.
After deposing the crown prince, the boss was ready to take action and desperately wanted to be the crown prince.
The third child was worried that the boss would succeed, so he took the initiative to expose the old emperor that the boss was secretly practicing witchcraft.
The old emperor is not stupid. After getting angry, he will inevitably think of a fatal question: The boss is secretly practicing witchcraft. Since you, the third boss, have known about it for a long time, why didn't you expose it in time?
Of course, this was only what the old emperor knew in his heart, and he never said it out loud.
Yuzhu is not stupid, how could he possibly discuss such a thing?
"Hui Khan Ama, the third brother, the fourth brother, the fifth brother and the seventh brother have all led troops. However, the 14th brother's military exploits are truly achieved." Yuzhu said it was an even argument.
He did not deliberately belittle him just because he said bad words.
The old emperor narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "In the 35th year of Kangxi's reign, I personally conquered Galdan again, and the fourth elder brother was in charge of the Zhenghongqi Camp."
This is quite meaningful!
If Yuzhu was a newcomer to the officialdom, he would probably follow the old emperor's hint and recommend the fourth to replace the fourteenth.
However, Yuzhu has long since become a veteran, so it is naturally impossible for him to do such stupid things.
"Hui Khan, Ama, although Chen'er and Fifth Brother are in love, but since they don't avoid relatives in foreign affairs, Chen'er thinks that Fifth Brother is quite suitable." Yuzhu deliberately brought out Lao Wu to talk about it.
Yuzhu had already figured out the injury on Lao Wu's face, and it was closely related to the old emperor.
