Even though there is the "Great Qing Hui Dian", it is always those in power who have the final say above the temple.
Today, the Empress Dowager Cikang listens to the government behind the curtain, and the eight assistant ministers support all government affairs.
The vernacular is that these nine people can modify the "Qing Huidian" according to actual needs anytime and anywhere.
The ten-year-old little emperor is nothing more than a marionette!
After coming out of Qianqing Palace, Haizhang and Dong Dianbang, the managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, were called to Nanxun Palace.
Seeing that Yuzhu had no intention of speaking out, Lao Wu thought about it and told them two with a straight face: "National mourning is the foundation of the imperial court. You two must be diligent and diligent in your duties. Otherwise, I will skin you carefully." ,understand?"
Who doesn’t understand the principle of one emperor and one minister?
Haizhang and Dong Dianbang were both the old emperor's confidants.
However, this is already a thing of the past.
"Hey." Haizhang and Dong Dianbang were not stupid either, and Zha Qian quickly agreed.
After the promulgation of the posthumous edict, the top priority of the Eighth Assistant Minister was to make the old emperor's national funeral a glorious event that left people speechless.
If the errand fails and all the ministers are collectively embarrassed, Haizhang and Dong Dianbang will become the scapegoats to vent their anger.
There was no way. In the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, the rank of official was overwhelming.
Whoever has a junior official position will naturally have the attribute of taking the blame.
Even if you don’t want to memorize it, you can’t!
Immediately afterwards, Lao Twelve was also called into Nanxun Hall.
This time, it was Lao Qi's turn to speak.
After all, Lao Twelve is the biological son of the old emperor, and with Viscount Bei at his side, he must be given the necessary dignity.
Therefore, Lao Qi took Yuzhu and met Lao Twelve alone in the side hall.
Lao Qi stared at Lao Twelve and said: "Brother Twelve, as long as you take care of all aspects of the national mourning, all the crazy things you have said and done before will be wiped out."
Lao Twelve did not look at Lao Seven, but kept staring at Yuzhu without blinking.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that Lao Twelve must be blaming him. You kid, you would rather choose Lao Twelve, that brat with no hair at all, to be the emperor. Why don't you choose me, my brother?
In front of understanding people, no one should even think about singing Liaozhai.
Regardless of Lao Qi's impressive lectures, Lao Twelve firmly believes that Yu Zhu holding the handle of the knife is the final say in the matter!
Not long after Lao Si poisoned the old emperor, Yu Zhu was in Qingxi Bookstore. He had both reliable informants and the black technology of golden eagles to pass messages. He got the accurate news almost immediately.
Because Yuzhu acted too quickly, with lightning speed and using blank edicts, he killed Wei Dechang on the left wing and seized control of the infantry yamen.
After Lao Twelve came to his senses, he tried to summon the three commanders of Zhengbai Banner and gather troops to start a rebellion. Alas, it was too late.
Because the capital city was under martial law. The people Lao Twelve sent out to inform him were arrested shortly after they left the house.
Here we can see the great benefit of Yuzhu deliberately exchanging the generals of the Bujun Yamen with each other.
The general does not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not follow the general. No one dares to hide it for Lao Twelve.
This matter is so big that the news will leak out sooner or later. Yuzhu has no reason to hide it for Lao Twelve.
Therefore, Lao Qi deliberately said harsh words and wanted to hit Lao Twelve.
Seeing Lao Twelve staring at him with blazing eyes, Yuzhu was worried that he would say something treacherous, and in a blink of an eye, he would add a new crime, so he sighed: "Brother Twelve, please give up your merits. This matter can only be done in the extreme."
The kind-hearted Fifth Brother and Seventh Brother know this, but no one else knows."
Yuzhu deliberately made his words clear and said that he had done the utmost in benevolence and justice!
Lao Wu and Lao Qi were originally neutral factions and had never participated in the plot to seize the heir.
The subtext of Yuzhu, translated as follows, is that there was no enmity between Lao Wu and Lao Qi and Lao Twelve in the past, and there is no grudge in recent times, and they have the motive and emotion to let him go because of their brotherly love.
The twelve-year-old must be sensible and cannot be stubborn and insist on walking all the way to the dark side.
It should be noted that the real brother who is in power is not pro-Amma after all!
The old emperor only imprisoned his son but did not kill him. This was the nature of a tiger that is poisoned but does not eat its own children.
Could it be said that a real brother is not willing to kill his younger brother?
Lao Twelve must understand this hard truth!
Perhaps he has figured out that the situation is over and cannot be undone by manpower.
Lao Twelve, who was originally standing upright, suddenly slumped down and whispered: "Brother Qi, please rest assured. Brother, I will definitely bury Khan Ama in a grand ceremony and not give outsiders a chance to gossip." He deliberately ignored Yuzhu.
.
Yuzhu didn't bother to argue with him about these minutiae. The times were indeed different. Even if he was unwilling to do so, he had to admit that he was losing power.
The seventh elder breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "Twelfth brother, you and I are very close relatives. Please allow me to say something from the bottom of my heart. Don't do crazy things again. I'm begging you as a brother."
The Chinese language is broad, profound, and endlessly memorable, which is vividly reflected in Lao Qi’s words.
It was obviously a heinous act of rebellion, but when it came to Lao Qi's mouth, it turned into saying crazy things and doing crazy things.
The great exculpation is beyond words!
If you don't bow your head under the eaves, you should be beaten!
"Brother Qi, I know you have always been kind and kind, and you are a good brother!" Lao Twelve turned around and thanked Lao Qi Zhaqian.
Lao Qi was very satisfied and turned to look at Yuzhu.
Yuzhu nodded slightly, and Lao Qi stood up, took out a decree from his sleeve, and said loudly: "There is a decree."
Lao Twelve quickly knelt down.
Lao Qi unfolded his decree and said loudly: "I am sending this edict to Beizi Yinzhen and Jinduo Luobeile, who are cooperating with the ministers assisting the king and responsible for organizing national funerals. I hereby express my gratitude."
The official term for the Eighth Assistant Minister is actually: Assistant to the King.
Assisting the emperor means administering the government on his behalf before the little emperor takes charge.
The royal ministers refer to the group of assistant ministers, including the royal family princes and important court ministers, collectively called: the royal ministers.
Lao Twelve is a truly sensible person.
After his attempt to raise an army was exposed, not only did he not take any punitive measures, but he was promoted to a knighthood and given the real power to organize national funerals.
Alas, besides not giving him the throne, Yuzhu was already very interested in him!
Lao Twelve obediently left to go on errands.
Lao Qi turned to look at Yuzhu and said seriously: "Good brother, many people secretly called you Cao Cao. I was dubious at first."
The words are only half spoken, but the aftertaste is endless!
Yuzhu smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I don't care what other people say, little brother. As long as you two, Fifth Brother and Seventh Brother, believe in me, I will be satisfied. To be honest with you, Seventh Brother, from now on,
The younger brother will definitely follow the lead of his two older brothers and will never make a mistake."
Lao Qi didn't quite believe this, so he deliberately joked and said, "Then I want to take charge of the staff department as well. Do you support it?"
Yuzhu said without hesitation: "As long as Fifth Brother has no objection, I will definitely support you!"
