For five consecutive days, Yuzhu has been standing by your side since the old emperor called you first.
In the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, the old emperor was destined to be the focus of everyone's attention.
Even if the old emperor didn't say a word, the officials below him already knew it. From now on, all matters in the imperial court must be involved in the jade pillar.
In fact, the princes and ministers were not surprised that Yuzhu was more favored.
However, Hongxi has also been standing opposite Yuzhu, and the connotation is particularly rich.
Yuzhu was very valuable, and the old emperor gradually favored Hongxi between Hongxi and Lao Shisi.
The emperor's eldest son, Sun Hongxi, is twenty-seven years old this year and is in the prime of his life.
As for Old Fourteen, he was only six years older than Hong Xi.
However, others must not know it clearly, but Yuzhu knows it in his heart. It is too late to establish Hongxi now!
In the first half of the old emperor's life, he had endless fun in capturing Oboi, fighting against San Francisco and Taiping Bay.
For the rest of his life, he fought with the prince first, and then with his sons. The fight turned into darkness.
In the process of fighting for his sons, the old emperor grew older and older, while his sons became more mature.
At this time, the old emperor wanted to imitate Zhu Chongba's method of establishing a heir apparent across generations, but alas, it was too late!
When shouting or shouting, under normal circumstances, there is no chance to rest in the middle.
However, the old emperor was getting older. Because he had been holding back his urine for a long time, his body had problems and he contracted the bad problem of frequent urination and urgency.
In order to maintain the emperor's dignity, the old emperor made a random excuse and sent Yuzhu and Hongxi out together before getting up to change clothes.
"Uncle Zhu, slow down, slow down, watch your step."
The gold bricks on the ground were scrubbed too smooth, and Yuzhu's feet slipped slightly, which gave Hong Xi the opportunity to please him.
Yuzhu avoided Hongxi's right hand that he extended out, waved his hand, and said in an old-fashioned way: "It doesn't matter, I won't slip."
Hongxi was helpless. No matter how he lowered his body and got closer, Yuzhu still refused to take the bait.
The old emperor knew that Yuzhu was both a pure minister and a lonely minister, so he reused him boldly and confidently.
Of course, Hong Xi also knew that although Yuzhu was Lao Si's in-laws, Lao Si, who was ten years older than Lao Si, was too old and had no chance to ascend to Dabao.
On the other hand, it is precisely because the fourth child has been eliminated early that his daughter can marry Yuzhu's eldest son.
The old emperor's thoughts were clearly visible to Yuzhu.
However, if Yuzhu really gets too close to Hongxi, he should step down.
In his later years, the old emperor had a hard time figuring out his thoughts. He not only wanted to create opportunities for Hongxi to get close to Yuzhu, but he was also worried that Hongxi and Yuzhu would get too close.
As the saying goes, learning from the past can help us understand the present.
Ever since Zhu Chongba, the great ancestor of the former Ming Dynasty, had the precedent of establishing an emperor's grandson, Hongxi's identity had become extremely sensitive.
It is no exaggeration to say that no one under the former prince who was suppressed would want to support Hong Xi
If the prince who had been a prince for more than thirty years was really in vain, the old emperor would be so frightened that he could not sleep at night.
To be honest, behind Hongxi, there is also a huge hidden force.
The harder the old emperor suppressed the second son's disciples, the more they hoped that Hongxi could stand up.
Just imagine, if Yuzhu and the deposed prince's disciples were in cahoots with each other, how could the old emperor sleep in peace?
The old emperor went to change his clothes. Yuzhu drank a few mouthfuls of bird's nest porridge today and felt something in his bladder.
After changing clothes, Yuzhu had just washed his hands when he saw Hongxi holding a big white handkerchief and handing it to him.
Yuzhu shook his head secretly. No wonder Kang Mazi gave up on Hongxi in the end.
Alas, Corporal Lixian, you have gone too far!
As the saying goes, too much is too much.
Yuzhu did not accept the handkerchief Hong Xi held, but gave the order indifferently.
"Come here, drag down those people who don't understand the rules and give each of them twenty slaps."
"嗻."
Hong Xi blushed and lowered his head, but did not dare to speak out to rescue his man.
Alas, this kind of irresponsible performance was naturally looked down upon by Yuzhu.
The manager of Qingxi Bookstore is no joke.
Beating a dog depends on the owner!
In the past, when Yuzhu wanted to deal with the eunuchs, maids and aunts, he had to ask the old emperor for instructions before sending someone to take action.
Now, as long as he doesn't use severe punishment, Yuzhu can justifiably give them small punishments.
Minor punishment measures such as slapping, pinching the ears, and being forced to stand while holding a water bottle are all within the scope of Yuzhu's authority.
After changing his clothes, the old emperor sat back down.
Yuzhu and Hongxi were neither there, so the old emperor asked Wang Chaoqing: "Where is Yuzhu?"
Wang Chaoqing knew better than anyone else that the old emperor obviously only asked Yuzhu, but in fact, he wanted to know if Yuzhu was with Hongxi.
Whether in the palace or in Changchun Garden, the extremely powerful Wang Chaoqing had extremely good ears and eyes.
However, Wang Chaoqing really didn't have the guts to talk nonsense about Yuzhu and Hongxi.
"Go back to Long Live Lord, I've been staying inside all this time, and I don't know where the manager has gone." Wang Chaoqing's shoulders slipped slightly and he wanted to escape.
The old emperor smiled coldly and scolded in a deep voice: "Your skin is itchy again?"
"The little one deserves to die, the little one is guilty..." Wang Chaoqing quickly knelt down and kowtowed a dozen times.
"Tell me, where are they?" The old emperor also knew Wang Chaoqing's difficulties. On one side was his immediate boss Yuzhu, and on the other was his most favored grandson. Who did he dare to speak ill of?
However, the old emperor just wanted to know the extent of the relationship between Hongxi and Yuzhu.
"Go back to Master Long Live, just now, there were a few stupid bitches who broke the rules and were slapped on the orders of the general manager." Wang Chaoqing secretly cried out that he was unlucky. He heard the sound of slapping outside and inside, so he didn't believe it.
The old emperor couldn't hear it.
However, since the old emperor loved to play hide-and-seek games, Wang Chaoqing could only play the game of hide-and-seek, even if he was the deputy chief minister.
"Humph, go find the governor of the capital and get the banquet yourself." The old emperor was not used to Wang Chaoqing, and immediately rewarded him with the banquet.
On his way back, Yuzhu happened to meet the dejected Wang Chaoqing.
Wang Chaoqing did not dare to elaborate. He only said that he accidentally violated the palace rules and asked Yuzhu to punish him.
Under normal circumstances, even if Yuzhu wants to deal with people, he will let people from the Shenxing Division come forward as thugs.
However, Wang Chaoqing's situation was quite special. The old emperor had already spoken, and Yuzhu was not polite.
"If that's the case, then I'll reward you with twenty boards." After Yuzhu ordered, he turned to comfort Wang Chaoqing, "Don't worry, who of the people below would dare to really hit you hard?"
Wang Chaoqing closed his eyes. Alas, it's over. He was beaten hard and there was no way he could escape.
Looking at the ashen-faced Wang Chaoqing, Yuzhu sneered secretly. The dog he was beating was not his, so how could he feel sorry for him?
As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
Yuzhu kept a small black book to help him remember the bad things Wang Chaoqing did a few years ago.
It’s not that I won’t report it, the time has not yet come!
The time has come, don’t blame the ruthless!
As long as the board is strong, Wang Chaoqing will no longer be able to serve in front of the emperor for at least two months.
No matter how popular the eunuch in the palace is, as long as he does not appear in front of the emperor for a long time, he will fall out of favor.
