Yuzhu had already expected that Zhang Tingyu would come back to find him.
Therefore, as soon as Zhang Tingyu left the house, Yuzhu ordered people to prepare their carriages and horses and go to Tangshan to soak in the hot springs.
Along the way, Yuzhu's carriage did not move very fast. When they stopped midway, Yuzhu took Qingwen and had a hearty meal in a restaurant.
After drinking and eating, Yuzhu led Xiao Qiu Sheng and just came out of the restaurant when he happened to see Zhang Tingyu getting off his horse.
"Juebu, please stay, please stay..." Zhang Tingyu ran to Yuzhu panting, grabbed Yuzhu's sleeves a little rudely, and said extremely urgently, "Juebu, please don't talk to me.
The emperor is vindictive. The emperor said that if you don't go to see him, he will refuse to eat."
When Yuzhu heard this, he immediately understood. The old emperor felt guilty!
If in the fiftieth year of Kangxi's reign, Yuzhu and the old emperor were so vindictive, they would at least be dismissed from office and go home to plant sweet potatoes.
However, times have changed!
It is now the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi's reign. How many loyal ministers do the old emperor still have who can be trusted to support him?
The old emperor acted like a hooligan again and forced Yuzhu to go see him.
The crime of inducing the old emperor to go on a hunger strike is much more serious than disrespect!
Come on, Yuzhu definitely couldn't bear the sin of starving the old emperor to death, so he had no choice but to go to Changchun Garden with Zhang Tingyu.
When he heard that Yuzhu was coming, the old emperor ran out barefooted, regardless of wearing shoes.
"My son should not be so petty, please punish me severely."
The old emperor walked quickly to Yuzhu, raised his hand and gently stroked his back, and said softly: "Idiot, I am your khan, it's natural for me to be a little petty."
Yuzhu sneered in his heart. If he took it seriously, he would be the most idiotic person in the world.
"I'm guilty, I deserve to die." The more the old emperor acted, the more humble Yuzhu became.
"I'm so hungry, come and have a meal with me." The old emperor became angry, grabbed one of Yuzhu's arms and dragged him up.
The old emperor's hands couldn't exert much strength at all. Yuzhu quickly stood up and followed the old emperor into the dining hall.
Yuzhu went in and took a look, hey, good guy, the long table is filled with his favorite dishes.
The old emperor did not have dinner and was really hungry, so he quickly had a bowl of shredded chicken soup.
Yuzhu had already had lunch and was not actually hungry.
However, the old emperor ate very well, so he had no choice but to accompany Hu Chihaisei.
After dinner, the old emperor led Yuzhu to take a walk by the lake behind Qingxi Bookstore to eat.
"Zhuer, Ma Qi is quite incompetent. He can't even summarize the accounts of the household department clearly." The old emperor suddenly stopped and looked at Yuzhu, who was supporting him on the right.
Yuzhu pretended to be confused and asked the old emperor: "Khan Amma, have you asked the wrong person?" What he meant was that he was not in his position and did not seek his political affairs.
The old emperor smiled slightly and said, "I'm asking you because I want you to take over Ma Qi's position."
Facing the old emperor's pressing step by step, Yuzhu didn't panic at all. He shook his head and said, "I'll tell you, I'm not happy, I'm too tired."
If someone else had said this, the old emperor would have thought it was just a pretense.
However, Yuzhu is indeed not a fan of officialdom, and is not obsessed with power and position.
Among the disciples of the Eight Banners, many people would rather idle around with hard-core crops than work as errands.
There is no way, although being a errand is powerful and powerful, it is also too hard and tiring.
In fact, the old emperor had already made up his mind, and the impromptu question to Yuzhu was just a final test.
Since Yuzhu did not want to be the chief Manchu scholar, the old emperor stopped asking him.
When leaving, the old emperor rewarded Yuzhu with a lot of good things. Among them, the most eye-catching thing was a huge East Pearl.
In the Qing Dynasty, the larger the Dongzhu was, the nobler its status was.
Regardless of whether he is a prince or a county king, the size of the dongzhu on his crown can tell at a glance his status.
The imperial prize was another extra-large Dongzhu, which was obviously taken out for Yuzhu to show off.
After Yuzhu returned home, not long after, Zhao Chang came with the decree.
Zhao Chang is the Palace Supervisor and Chief Attendant, that is, the nominal boss of all eunuchs.
"Special order, Yuzhu is in charge of all affairs in Changchun Garden, and is also the general manager of Qingxi Bookstore. I hereby express my gratitude."
"I accept the order and thank you for your kindness."
Since the 33rd year of Kangxi, Changchun Garden has surpassed the Forbidden City and become the real center of power of the Qing Dynasty.
In Changchun Garden, the place where the old emperor handled government affairs on a daily basis was formerly the Dan Ning Residence and is now the Qingxi Bookstore.
After Yuzhu concurrently served as the general manager of Qingxi Bookstore, although he did not have the title of prime minister, he had the actual status of prime minister.
Moreover, the old emperor entrusted the entire Changchun Garden to Yuzhu's jurisdiction. What kind of trust is this?
It is no exaggeration to say that since the forty-sixth year of Kangxi's reign, under Yuzhu's careful planning, he finally gained the true trust of the old emperor.
The time left for the old emperor is running out!
After Zhao Chang left, Zhou Quan quickly came in from behind, smiled and said, "Congratulations to Dong Weng, congratulations to Dong Weng, for finally standing on the top of the temple."
Yuzhu smiled slightly and said: "But you are still the inner minister, why are you so happy?"
Zhou Quan shook open his folding fan, smiled slightly, and said, "No, no, that inner appearance, how dare you compare it to this inner appearance?"
"Why do you see it?" Yuzhu looked at Zhou Quan with a smile.
Zhou Quan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Qingxi Bookstore is where I live now. Dong Weng, you were just in charge of the guards before, but now you have jurisdiction over the entire bookstore. How can we be the same?"
Yuzhu let out a breath of turbid air. Zhou Quan really did not say that the current Qingxi Bookstore, including the guards, eunuchs, maids and aunts, are all under his command.
This is equivalent to the old emperor really giving his back to Yuzhu.
Not to mention anything else, although Longkodo in history often stayed with the old emperor, he had no right to command the guards, eunuchs and maids.
The old emperor's special attention was certainly very beneficial to Yuzhu.
However, the military power of the infantry commander returned to Longkodo's hands.
Zhou Quan took back the folding fan and said with a smile: "Dong Weng, you attach great importance to friendship and have always been kind to your brothers and sisters. I must have understood this already, right?"
Yuzhu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, but did not respond to Zhou Quan immediately.
Treating your half-brother well may seem inconsequential and meaningless. In fact, it is extremely important.
Just imagine, if Yuzhu is not good at ninety, if he wants to deal with Longkodo in the future, he will definitely have to spend a lot of effort.
It's fine now. Yuzhu's glorious image of loving his younger brother has taken root in Longkodo's heart and is just waiting to sprout.
After the news spread, Lao Si sighed heavily and said, "Thirteenth brother, I always have an ominous premonition that the big things you and I are going to do may be ruined by Yuzhu's hands."
