The old emperor's strategy towards his sons has always been to defeat the strong and support the weak.
If the second child is too strong, support the oldest child. If the older brother is not a match for the second child, support the eighth child.
After Lao Ba became an adult, he supported the jade pillar.
Now, the shady things that the fourth child had done secretly were gradually exposed to the old emperor.
This made the old emperor feel quite sad.
"Alas, an adopted son is like a wolf!" The less energetic the old emperor was, the more ideas he had.
Yuzhu knew clearly that the old emperor was scolding Lao Ba and Lao Si, but he didn't dare to say anything.
The sons of the old emperor, no matter how bad they are, are still their biological sons.
There is no need to say too much about the principle of not being intimate with each other!
"If I remember correctly, your little Xuanyu should have been born in the forty-sixth year of Kangxi's reign?" the old emperor asked Yuzhu casually.
Yuzhu immediately increased his vigilance and replied cautiously: "Khan Amma has a really good memory. Quanzi was indeed born in the 46th year of Kangxi."
"Well, alas, I didn't think carefully at the time. The little princess of the fourth family is actually suffering from a serious disease. I'm afraid..." Before the old emperor could finish his words, Liu Jinzhong came in to report, "Go back to Lord Long Live, my clan's clan.
Order, Prince Kang, Chong'an, please pass the sign to see me."
Yuzhu's heart sank suddenly.
The old emperor's hint was so explicit that he didn't even want to cover it up.
I'm afraid that Xiao Xuanyu's marriage will be in big trouble!
In fact, after thinking about it carefully, Yuzhu completely understood the old emperor's thoughts.
In the past, the old emperor married the concubine of the fourth family to Xiao Xuanyu as his legitimate wife. That was because the fourth child disguised himself very well and did not reveal his ambition to seize the throne.
Now, because Wu Hassan, who was sent to monitor the fourth child, died tragically, which greatly aroused the old emperor's vigilance.
Under the scrutiny of the old emperor with a microscope, some of the tricks Lao Si had secretly done gradually became apparent.
After Chong'an came in, he kowtowed in greeting and whispered: "Your Majesty, the three grids of Prince Yong's Mansion suddenly suffered from a serious illness. I couldn't bear the illness. Today, I died."
Although Yuzhu was mentally prepared, he was still shocked.
In order to break up the engagement between Yuzhu and Laosi, the old emperor even dared to kill his own granddaughter!
Logically speaking, since the decree of marriage has been issued, and the only missing part of the ancient ritual of three matchmakers and six betrothals is "applying for a date," Laosi and Yuzhu must be considered serious in-laws.
However, the fourth child's daughter suddenly died violently, and Yuzhu didn't even hear the news. It was obvious that the old emperor deliberately interfered.
The death of his granddaughter was the most severe warning the old emperor issued to his fourth son.
Be honest, otherwise, look at the miserable end of the boss, right?
However, from the perspective of etiquette, the fourth daughter, even if she dies, can still be regarded as Yuzhu's serious daughter-in-law.
Even if Xiao Xuanyu remarries in the future, the woman he marries later can only be regarded as his step-wife!
Yuzhu and Xiaoxuanyu were both very unlucky. Their good marriage turned into a feud.
The reason is actually very simple. If the fourth child's daughter marries someone else, the old emperor will definitely not commit such a murderous act.
In other words, the fourth child's pain at the loss of his daughter was due to the fact that Yuzhu was a great scholar of Zhonghe Palace.
The old emperor was silent for a while, and then said coldly: "According to the custom of the princess, let's give him a grand burial."
"Hey." Prince Kang Chong'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly kowtowed to the leader to give the order.
The first generation of Prince Kang Jieshu, the relationship between him and the old emperor can only be described in four words: as close as brothers.
After Jieshu's death, the old emperor specially allowed Chun Tai, Jieshu's favorite fifth son during his lifetime, to marry him because of the deep friendship in the past.
In fact, Jieshu's fourth son, Baltu, is more talented than Chun Tai and is a man of real ability.
The old emperor held Chong'an in his arms and kept reminiscing about the close brotherhood he had with Ta Ma Fajieshu in the past.
As he was talking, the old emperor suddenly asked Chongan: "Among the daughters of Prince Li Mi, are there any adult daughters?"
Chong'an was off guard and recalled for a long time before he stumbled and said: "When I return to the emperor, I vaguely remember that the second daughter of Prince Limi seems to be over thirteen years old?"
Yuzhu, who was watching with cold eyes, felt like he was in a mirror. The old emperor was deliberately acting for him to see.
Now that the fourth child has exposed his ambition to seize the throne, if the fourth child's daughter really becomes Yuzhu's daughter-in-law, it will definitely cause endless troubles for Hongxi.
If Xiao Xuanyu is allowed to marry the second daughter of the second oldest brother Yinreng, then Xiao Xuanyu will become Hongxi's sister-in-law.
In this way, the relationship between Yuzhu, father and son, and Hongxi became even closer.
Due to the strict precautions, starting from Lao Nu's Houjin to Kang Mazi, the relatives did not have the foundation and conditions to participate in politics.
I think back then, after the death of the old slave, Huang Taiji joined forces with several major Baylor forces to force Dorgon's biological mother, the concubine Abahai, to death.
After Dorgon fell to death, Shunzhi was engaged in a fierce power struggle with his biological mother, the Empress Dowager, throughout his life.
After the old emperor cleverly captured Obei, the power of the empress dowager gradually faded away from the palace.
Yuzhu must admit that the old emperor's arrangement was extremely clever.
Letting Xiao Xuanyu marry Hongxi's biological sister made Yuzhu and Hongxi not only relatives, but also distant relatives.
In the future, when Hongxi secures his throne and wants to take care of the jade pillar, he will not be trapped by family ties.
"Yuzhu, I'm sorry for Xiao Xuanyu. I made him a widower before we were officially married. Oh, I regret it so much!" As soon as the old emperor said this, Yuzhu knew that it was a joke.
Meat is about to appear.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm still alive and there's still room for improvement." The old emperor sighed heavily and turned to ask Yuzhu, "If Hongxi's sister is allowed to marry Xiaoxuanyu, will it humiliate you, old man?"
The Tong family’s reputation?”
These words are so powerful that even if Yuzhu had the courage to do so, he would not dare to object to her face to face!
The old Tong family's family is famous, but that is only for the powerful people with foreign surnames.
If compared with the Tian family, the old Tong family is completely worthless!
