After enjoying Davydova's wonderful ballet performance, Yuzhu got up and, accompanied by Liu Jinzhong, went to Changchun Garden.
When Yuzhu arrived, Zhang Penghie, the official secretary of the Han Dynasty, was being scolded by the old emperor.
The old emperor was getting angry, but Yuzhu was not stupid enough to go in immediately, so he stopped at the door and waited for the old emperor to vent his anger.
However, the plan did not change quickly. The old emperor suddenly raised his voice and asked outside: "Why hasn't Yuzhu arrived yet?"
Okay, Yuzhu had no choice but to wink at Liu Jinzhong and signal him to go in and report first.
Liu Jinzhong bowed to Yuzhu, without daring to say a word, and walked into the room.
The eunuchs waiting on the side knew very well that this was Yuzhu.
If someone else dares to stand at the door and refuse to go in, Manager Liu will have plenty of ways to deal with him.
"Your Majesty Yuzhu, I respectfully send you your holy greetings."
"Yili!"
After Yuzhu stood up, he quickly glanced at everyone in the room. Well, in addition to Ma Qi, Lao Ba, Lao Si, Zhang Penghie and Hong Xi, surprisingly, Qingtai, the Minister of War, was also there.
Now that Qingtai was there, Yuzhu instantly became a generation shorter and quickly stood behind him obediently.
In today's era of strict etiquette, the world is vast and the word filial piety is the greatest.
The old emperor was indeed very angry. There was an appalling incident of officials fighting each other in the dignified Tianguan Yamen.
How could this be true?
In what manner?
However, seeing Yuzhu standing behind Qingtai very honestly, the old emperor nodded secretly. He had watched Yuzhu grow up, and he always respected his elders.
When he saw Lao Ba, the old emperor felt unhappy again.
The treacherous son is making little moves in secret and refuses to stop for a moment. Huh, if he wasn't his biological son, he would have been with Suo'etu for a long time.
The old emperor's eyes passed over the fourth child. Well, his mood improved a little. Although this son is very old, he is indeed willing to do his errands seriously and is more worry-free.
Behind Qingtai, Yuzhu stood up straight and looked straight.
Suddenly, Yuzhu noticed that his official uniform was gently pulled. He quickly looked up and saw Qingtai's left hand quietly stretched out the cuff of his horseshoe cuff and made a sign.
Yuzhu's eyes rolled slightly, and he immediately understood that among the two officials who participated in the fight, the Yuanwailang was probably Lao Ba's man.
The reason is actually very simple. Since the two deposed princes, the important position of doctor in the Department of Civil Affairs has been appointed by the old emperor.
The Libu Yamen was really too sensitive, and Yuzhu never dared to get involved.
I think back then, the deposed crown prince Yin Reng used Zhou Quan's father to control the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel.
When the deposed prince and the old emperor were like fathers and sons, Zhou Quan's father could be said to be proud and majestic.
When father and son fell out of harmony and became increasingly suspicious of each other, Zhou Quan's father became a thorn in the old emperor's side, and he was determined to get rid of him as soon as possible.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Quan's entire family was the victim of a fierce battle between the old emperor and the deposed prince.
Yuzhu debuted three years later and did not catch up with the grand occasion of Suo'etu and his son being killed together by the old emperor.
To be honest, in the 42nd year of Kangxi, the old emperor simply and rudely cut off the thickest wings of the deposed prince Yin Reng without clear evidence of rebellion. It was actually a stupid move made by a neurotic.
The old emperor suppressed him too hard, causing the deposed prince to rise up to resist, thus officially kicking off the fight for the throne in Kowloon.
"Zhang Penghe, please tell the whole story again."
Yuzhu arrived last, and the old emperor was afraid that he would not know the inside story, so he simply took it out on Zhang Pengye.
Zhang Penghie explained the matter carefully and completely, without adding fuel or jealousy, just stating it in a straightforward manner.
Yuzhu had known the inside story for a long time, but he deliberately pretended to hear it for the first time and blurted out: "This is simply unreasonable. It is extremely ridiculous. Not killing him is not enough to anger the people."
After hearing this, Qingtai couldn't help but nod secretly. He never expected that Zhu'er and the old emperor would have such a tacit understanding?
The old emperor summoned so many princes and ministers to appear, just to take the opportunity to cut off the nails that the old emperor had buried in the official department.
As a result, Yuzhu opened his mouth and built the ladder for the old emperor.
The monarch and his ministers have a tacit understanding, so what can I say?
Lao Ba tried his best to bury the nail, but Yuzhu wanted to pull it out as soon as he opened his mouth. How could he not be impatient?
"Khan Ama, sir..." Lao Ba just wanted to show his face to calm his cheeks, but was interrupted by Lao Si, "The official administration has been corrupted to this extent, and if there are no heavy regulations, how can the official department and the Yamen set an example for the world in the future?"
Yuzhu lowered his head and raised his lips slightly. He knew that the fourth child would take the initiative to step forward and help pull out the hidden stake of the eighth child.
This is June's account, so we have to be quick!
The fourth son's method of cleaning up the treasury's debts was too ruthless and made everyone uneasy.
Lao Ba, who was accustomed to winning over people's hearts, united with the Manchu nobles to defeat Lao Si's most powerful doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Hehe, the fourth child seized the opportunity, how could he not fight back?
"Qingtai, what do you think?"
The old emperor called Qing Tai to come, originally he wanted to discuss military affairs in the northwest. Since both Qingtai and Yuzhu and his son were present, the old emperor would inevitably want to see what Qingtai's position was.
Qingtai is a man of average talent and really has no great abilities.
However, after being involved in officialdom for so many years, he still has some knowledge of the principles of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.
"Back to the emperor, since Yuzhu has expressed his position, I must avoid suspicion and don't dare to discuss this matter." What Qingtai said was reasonable and impeccable.
"I took the initiative to ask you, so you don't have to worry too much, but it doesn't matter." The old emperor would definitely not let Qingtai off easily.
Qingtai pretended to be deep in thought and delayed for half an hour before he said slowly: "Back to the emperor, I think that killing him is not a pity, but pardoning him will also show the wisdom of a holy king."
Yuzhu secretly thought it was funny, Ama Qingtai really understood the essence of dawdling in officialdom, he could attack or defend, and no one would be offended.
In fact, Qingtai has been a disciple of Lao Wu for a long time. He obviously learned the essence of harmony with the world from Lao Wu.
Lao Wu lost the opportunity to compete for the throne early, and simply maintained a neutral position. He was not close to anyone, and he did not offend anyone. He was good to you, I was good, and everyone was good.
"Hongxi, what do you think?"
Ever since Yuzhu returned to Beijing with his troops, Hongxi had been helping him polish his ink while the old emperor was dealing with military and state affairs.
Of course, all fools know that the so-called grinding ink is a lie, and cultivating Hongxi's ability to handle government affairs was the old emperor's true intention.
At this moment, a eunuch ran in in a panic and stammered an extremely shocking news.
"Long live my lord... I am a commoner of Xian'an Palace, but I am seriously ill and cannot afford it!"
