"Sir, I have a little thing, and I would like to ask your help, okay?" Ms. Liu looked at Yuzhu expectantly.
Yuzhu thought to himself that Mr. Liu's eyelids were still a little shallow after all.
Look, as soon as he feels comfortable serving him, he starts making demands, which is quite disappointing.
"Tell me." Yuzhu asked her lazily.
Mrs. Liu sighed and said, "My brother was originally a member of the Juren family. However, because he drank too much and had a relationship with the young lady from the scholar's family, he was stripped of his fame by the academic governor of Shuntian Prefecture..."
When Yuzhu heard this, things turned out to be a bit tricky.
The dignified gentleman was so greedy for the beauty of the talented lady that he became an adulterer.
As a result, the cuckolded scholar was dissatisfied and sued the official.
To be honest, in the early Qing Dynasty, except for a very small number of scum, the Qingliu academic officials all cared more about their reputation and had a hard-line style that was unyielding and mighty.
Therefore, even if Mrs. Liu is the step-wife of Lao Jingnihou, she can only watch helplessly as her brother is deprived of his honor by the academic officer.
Not to mention the family of a mere military general, Yuzhu, who was born in Manchuria with a yellow flag, is not only the biological son of the infantry commander Longkodo, but also the biological grandson of the minister Tong Guowei. When he participates in the imperial examination, he must also rely on his true ability to pass the examination.
Go up.
To be honest, if Yuzhu could not even pass the examination as a scholar, how could Li Guangdi, the chief examiner of the provincial examination, dare to secretly help him win the title of Jieyuan?
However, although this matter is very difficult, with Yuzhu's current strength, he still has a way to operate it secretly.
"Have you prepared the money that was secretly planned?" Yuzhu did not refuse.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but said overjoyed: "It's ready, it's ready, there are enough one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Well, when Yuzhu heard this, he was quite sensible and knew that this matter would be difficult to achieve, so he prepared enough lubricant.
"I can only give it a try. The result is really unpredictable. I like to say ugly things first. It is possible that I have spent money and haven't accomplished anything yet." Yuzhu raised his hand and pinched Mrs. Liu's delicate chin, "
This is the first time you beg me, and I will definitely do my best, understand?"
"Master, you are so kind." Mrs. Liu was so moved that she hugged the man's neck and said in a disgusting voice, "Master, be so cruel..."
Yuzhu was very happy and said with a smile: "Your son is next door, aren't you afraid that he will hear it?"
"What are you afraid of? When he gets older, I plan to let him recognize you as his godfather." When Liu said this, Yuzhu couldn't help being amused.
Dorgon had no sons, so he regarded the son of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang as his biological son.
As a result, not long after Dorgon fell to death, he was adopted as Baiyanlang's adopted son, and he was completely liquidated, and even his heirs were driven back to their original home.
Dorgon, a talented and wise man, was misjudged, so Yuzhu naturally had no interest in promoting Liu's son.
Damn it, Yuzhu already has more than a dozen biological sons, is it necessary to raise other people’s sons?
A few days later, Yuzhu came to visit his mentor Tang Bing with a generous gift.
Nowadays, Tang Bing can be said to be happy with his horse's hoof, and his mood is not generally good.
The three great joys of becoming an official are promotion, fortune, and death in the royal family. Mr. Tang has taken advantage of them all.
Yuzhu's wife, Mrs. Zhou, died of illness three years ago.
Tang Bing had only one daughter, so he decided not to marry her again, but took in a noble concubine.
According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, concubines were bought and sold. Moreover, there was no distinction between high and low among concubines.
However, in order to get what they wanted, the Han ministers deliberately named the so-called noble concubine above the concubine.
Under normal circumstances, concubines are generally from a higher background, but their family fortunes have fallen into decline and they are forced to work as minors for the powerful.
According to Yuzhu's knowledge, the concubine Tang Bingxin accepted was from a very powerful background, and was actually the daughter of the former prefect.
According to the rules, the daughters of officials are not allowed to become concubines.
However, the former prefect who was dismissed from his position fell into a gray area, and the court had no explicit regulations.
In history, among the more famous concubines, the fifth concubine of Marshal Zhang from Northeast China was naturally indispensable.
This fifth concubine's name was Shou Yi. After her mother committed suicide, she changed her name to Wang Yajun along with her mother.
Shou Yi's background is really remarkable. She is the youngest daughter of Shoushan, the former general of Heilongjiang.
It's quite interesting to say that General Shoushan of Heilongjiang is actually the seventh generation grandson of Yuan Chonghuan, the former governor of Liaodong in Ming Dynasty.
What's even more powerful is that Fu Ming'a, the Amma of Shoushan, is the sixth grandson of Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Shifu, who once served as the general of Jilin.
The Yuan family, who was born in the Han army of Zhengbai Banner, has received many favors from the Qing Dynasty, and there is no doubt about it!
"Meet my mentor."
Tang Bing stood outside the hanging flower door with a smile on his face. The jade pillar took a few steps quickly and bowed to the ground.
Although Tang Bing was the Minister of Rites and Han Dynasty who was single-handedly promoted by Yuzhu, Yuzhu still treated him with great courtesy and always regarded him as his master.
"Sect Master, please don't offend the disciples." Tang Bing was so panicked that he waved his hands repeatedly. He didn't move his left foot, stepped back with his right foot, and turned sideways to avoid Yuzhu's salute.
In the Jade Party clique, everyone interacts with Yuzhu by chance, and their names are also different.
Yuzhu smiled slightly and said: "Once a teacher, always a father. The student will never forget the kindness of his mentor who taught him so hard when he was taking the imperial examination."
Even though the city was already very deep, Tang Bing still couldn't help but twitch his beard and smile, and said somewhat complacently: "Xi Ri is lucky enough to study with the sect master for several years. It is really Tang's good luck in ten lifetimes."
Although Tang Bing's statement is an exaggeration, it is more in line with the actual situation.
If it weren't for Yuzhu's appreciation and promotion, Tang Bing would have continued to hang out with Long Keduo, and he would have been a fifth-grade doctor at best.
Today, Tang Bing occupies a high position as the Minister of Rites, lives in four houses, and is majestic. How can he be so happy?
According to the regulations, when governors from other provinces return to Beijing to see their Majesty, as long as they stay at the "Beijing Gate Shouyi", that is, Luheyi in Tongzhou, the official sedan they ride must be changed from an eight-carriage sedan to a four-person sedan.
Sedan.
Even a famous minister of the Zhongxing Dynasty in the late Qing Dynasty, such as the first-class Yiyong Marquis and Zeng Guofan, the governor-general of Zhili, could only ride in a four-person sedan when he returned to Beijing to report on his duties.
Tang Bing very wisely asked Yuzhu to go in front and he to accompany him in the back, chatting and laughing all the way into the inner study of Tang Mansion.
When tea was served, Yuzhu was surprised to find that Lao Tang's concubine was actually holding the tea tray in person, standing in front of him with a low eyebrow.
"Master, how can this happen?" Yuzhu knew what he was thinking. The concubine in front of him was particularly favored, and she was regarded as the wife of his wife by Lao Tang.
Tang Bing glared and said in a deep voice: "What can't be done? You are the leader of our sect, and you are responsible for the great responsibilities of our sect. Not to mention offering tea, even if you order him to serve on the pillow, it is natural.
Duty."
Yuzhu could be considered an old bureaucrat, with a thick skin as thick as a city wall, but he was still so shocked that his mouth opened wide.
Seeing that Yuzhu was slightly out of sorts, Tang Bing couldn't help but feel proud, and said slowly: "We should follow Su Zizhan's example of gifting beauty with elegance."
Damn, what's so elegant? Is that called shameless?
At that time, after Su Shi was demoted, he gave away two pregnant concubines to others.
Liang Shicheng, one of the six thieves, and Sun Qiang, a Hanlin scholar, both claimed to be born to Su Zizhan's concubine. Xiao Dongpo Su Guo actually had no objection.
Liang Shicheng was so loyal that he even personally told the accountant in his house: "Whenever Bachelor Su spends less than 10,000 guan, you don't have to sue me, just pay it."
