"Fifth brother, why bother with this? After all, in the eyes of the people of the world, we, the auxiliary king and ministers, are just one body! Third brother has lost his face, and we will not be able to benefit from it either."
Lao Jiu lived up to his reputation as a poisonous snake. When he opened his mouth, Lao Wu was stunned.
"We can't just let it go, right?" Lao Qiyu asked Lao Jiu angrily.
Lao Jiu pretended to walk up to Lao San and said loudly: "The third brother said something wrong and deserves to be punished. In my opinion, I simply punished him to kneel in front of the tomb of Emperor Daxing for a whole day and not allowed to eat."
.”
Yuzhu almost laughed out loud. What kind of punishment is this?
However, Yuzhu did not intend to stand up and add fuel to the fire.
By letting Lao San and Lao Ninth sneak into the ranks of ministers, Yuzhu wanted them to disrupt the situation from time to time and say some disgusting words, so that Lao Wu and Lao Seven would not gain power too easily and lose the necessary restraint.
The four kings are brothers, and Yuzhu is an outsider.
It's normal for brothers to quarrel. If outsiders get involved, the target of the struggle will shift to Yuzhu.
The jade pillar did not squeak, and Zhang Tingyu did not dare to squeak.
Ma Qi relied on his seniority and wanted to help Yuzhu vent his anger, so he interjected: "We can't let it go so easily, can we?"
Lao Wu glanced at Ma Qi and then at Yu Zhu, and the anger in his heart was mostly gone.
What Lao Jiu said is right. Not long after the death of Emperor Daxing, the Fuchen Group broke out into internal strife. How unworthy was it?
Lao Seven knows Lao San better. Lao San always likes to stab people in the dark. Are the dirty things he has done in secret more than just one or two?
Zhang Tingyu glanced at Ma Qi and said to herself, Ma Qi is old, can he still eat?
In a society dominated by imperial power, it is impossible to separate household affairs and state affairs very clearly, and the boundaries are extremely blurred.
Yuzhu didn't want to speak, but Ma Qi's intervention, well, Lao Wu and Lao Qi became alert.
Lao Wu no longer pursued him, and Lao Qi also sat back and picked up the tea cup.
When people hang out in the temple, everyone talks in a non-verbal manner, deliberately letting you guess.
At this time, the posture adopted is extremely suggestive.
Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Lao Jiu quickly gave Lao San a look.
The third child is just a shady person, he is not stupid at all.
"Fifth brother, seventh brother, brother, I didn't notice for a moment and said the wrong thing. I can't help it." The third child is also a flexible person. After being reminded by the ninth brother, he actually apologized in person.
No matter how bad the third child is, he is the elder brother after all.
My brother has given in. If he continues to chase and beat him, he will only make other people laugh!
"That's all. But, Third Brother, I'm not telling you. From now on, you should be more careful when speaking." Lao Wu was kind after all. Now that Lao San had admitted his mistake, his anger was almost gone, so he gave up immediately.
Lao Qi said nothing, but subconsciously glanced at Yuzhu who said nothing. To be honest, Lao Qi really didn't understand Yuzhu's thoughts.
Yuzhu clearly saw Lao Qi's little move, but just pretended not to see it.
The top priority is urgent, and everything else is empty. It is only right to quickly expand the new army to five to eight towns!
Yuzhu didn't care about the two most powerful bureaucracies, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs. What's more, what about the trivial things that the third child wanted to do to others?
In the Chinese dynasty, as long as many former die-hard brothers do business together or come to power together, more than 90% of them will eventually fall out.
The essence is that only one person has the final say, and the rest of the people either act like younger brothers or are kicked out.
This is true for An Lushan and Shi Siming, this is true for Zhang Er and Chen Yu, who were "friends who cut their necks to death", and so is the case for Huang Di and Yan Di.
Under Lao Jiu's soft cheek, Lao San went out to kneel to the Daxing Emperor. Lao Wu and Lao Qi remained silent, which meant they acquiesced.
From the beginning to the end, Yuzhu watched with cold eyes without saying a word.
History has clearly shown that Sima Yi and Tokugawa Ieyasu are both famous old turtles, but they both had the last laugh.
Accident actually contains necessity.
People who live in temples and can't bear it will be a tragedy sooner or later.
When you are not strong enough, taking action rashly is tantamount to asking for death.
For example, after the Gaopingling coup, Wang Ling, Guan Qiujian and Zhuge Dan of Huainan successively raised armies and were exterminated one after another.
Using a local government to fight against the imperial court, the probability of failure is astonishingly high due to lack of strength!
Gao Gong of the Qianming Dynasty was originally the most trusted official of King Yu. Because he was too high-profile, he was demoted by Xu Jie in the second year of Longqing.
Later, Emperor Longqing had just passed away, and Gao Gong was ousted from power by Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao.
Do things in a high profile and behave in a low profile. This applies to everyone!
Practice has proved that crying is not only a technical job, but also a physical job.
The founding of the Qing Dynasty lasted for seventy-eight years, and various laws and regulations were becoming more and more complete day by day.
The same goes for crying spirits.
Officials and nobles who have received state favor must participate in the collective activities of crying for the souls.
The Crying Spirits are not a swarm, they go up together and retreat together.
Instead, under the arrangement of the Director of the Ministry of Rites, they took turns entering the Qianqing Palace in batches to mourn.
Under the leadership of the Empress Dowager Cikang, the women in the inner circle knelt down in front of the old emperor's tomb and burst into tears.
In fact, when the old emperor passed away, Empress Dowager Cikang not only did not feel the slightest sadness, but instead felt extremely happy.
Well, although the Empress Dowager Cikang was also the old emperor's cousin, she had never been favored since she entered the palace.
On the surface, it seems that soon after entering the palace, Empress Dowager Cikang was granted the title of imperial concubine. Later, she was also granted the title of imperial concubine, imperial concubine.
In fact, only everyone knows whether the drinking water is hot or cold.
To put it bluntly, the seemingly noble Empress Dowager Cikang did not sleep with her as many times as Concubine De, and she was like a widow for decades.
Anyway, the old emperor is dead, and the Empress Dowager Cikang has become the most noble woman in the world, bar none.
However, the Empress Dowager Cikang did not know that a huge storm was brewing behind her.
As we all know, the concubine Sehetu is the current biological mother and will be promoted to the position of empress dowager sooner or later.
However, before the edict is issued, if the name is not correct, the words will not be smooth.
The position of the concubine Sehetu's crying spirit gave the people of the Ministry of Rites a headache.
When his subordinates encountered problems, they naturally had to report them to the superiors. In this case, Zhang Tingyu, who was also in charge of the Ministry of Etiquette, had no choice but to shoulder the responsibility.
Zhang Tingyu didn't dare to be expert, so he quickly reported the matter to Yuzhu.
Yuzhu thought about it carefully, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered a historical event.
"Hengchen, the concubine Sehetu's status is extremely special. Although the imperial edict to appoint her as the empress dowager has not yet been issued, she is placed in the concubine position. I'm afraid it is not appropriate and disrespectful. Let's do this.
Let her weep together with all the other concubines." Yuzhu made the decision, and Zhang Tingyu naturally followed suit.
In fact, Zhang Tingyu came to Yuzhu not to shirk responsibility. Instead, he wanted to tell Yuzhu that if he takes the blame in the future, I will take the blame for you.
To put it bluntly, even if it was Yuzhu's slap that caused something to go wrong, the slap would definitely only hit Zhang Tingyu's butt.
Could it be said that Zhang Tingyu dared to push Yuzhu out and act as his shield?
Just like that, the position of Concubine Sehetu's crying spirit happens to be side by side with Concubine Cheng, Concubine De, Concubine Rong, Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui.
Concubine De is a truly sensible person, how could she dare to kneel in a row with the concubine Concubine Hetu?
So, Concubine De quietly moved half of her body back and knelt behind Sehetu.
Concubine Cheng, Dai Jia, was on the other side of Concubine De. Seeing Concubine De suddenly go to the back, she thought for a moment and immediately understood what was going on. She quickly imitated Concubine De and moved half way back.
Personal position.
Concubine Rong was relatively favored in her early years. Especially between the 12th and 16th years of Kangxi's reign, she gave birth to a prince and a princess every year.
There was even a period of time when five of the first ten princes of Kangxi were descended from Rongfei Ma Jia's family, which shows their status.
However, after the 20th year of Kangxi, Concubine Rong gradually fell out of favor.
The fundamental problem was that Concubine Rong was careless, had a bad temper, and couldn't keep her mouth shut. After the novelty wore off, she was disliked by the old emperor.
Seeing that Concubine Rong was not moving, Concubine Cheng couldn't bear it because she owed her a favor, so she secretly tugged on the sleeve of her mourning robe.
Concubine Rong noticed something was wrong. She turned around and saw that Concubine Cheng kept winking at her. Then she saw that Concubine De had also gone to the back row. How could she not understand? She quickly moved to Concubine Cheng's row.
When the eldest brother became powerful, Concubine Hui once believed that she would be able to ascend the throne of the Empress Dowager in the future.
However, the eldest brother was so stupid that he actually said in front of the old emperor that he was helping to kill the second brother, so as to avoid Khan Ama's infamy.
Later, Lao San exposed the witchcraft and was imprisoned in the Zhijun Prince's Mansion.
Concubine De and Concubine Hui had always been at odds, so it was naturally impossible to remind her.
Concubine Cheng didn't have the slightest fondness for Concubine Hui. Because when the eldest brother was in power, he once made fun of Lao Qi's short legs in public.
Lao Qi was born with short legs. In the very superstitious Qing Dynasty, this was a so-called bad omen.
To be honest, if the old emperor were more superstitious and like the stupid men and women among the people, it would not be difficult to simply throw the disabled baby into the water tank.
As the saying goes, tiger poison cannot eat its children. Although the old emperor was not willing to kill his children, his concubine Dai Jia fell out of favor.
Concubine Cheng coldly wanted to see Concubine Hui's joke. Humph, I asked you to indulge your son and be so proud that you will be punished by the little emperor today!
A gentleman's revenge is never too late!
The same goes for concubines taking revenge!
Only by enduring what ordinary people cannot endure can you have the last laugh!
However, Concubine Cheng never expected that even Qin Hui had a few close friends.
A certain chief eunuch in the Qianqing Palace had been favored by Concubine Hui and couldn't bear to see her misfortune, so he took the opportunity of handing a handkerchief to wipe her tears and hinted at Concubine Hui.
The four concubines who were going back and forth like this, Rong, Cheng, De, and Hui, all knelt down in the back row.
Only Concubine Yi, who was very ignorant, knelt side by side with concubine Sehetu in the front row!
Matters in the palace have always been of no concern to oneself and should be kept high up in the air. Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles!
However, the severe tropical storm has turned into a typhoon, and Yifei is right in the eye of the storm.
ps: Yesterday's third update has been completed. There are very few votes and I have no motivation to write.
1. According to the original edict of the emperor from Shunzhi to Xuantong, "Feng, Tian Cheng Yun", the emperor's edict said, the writing format is three rows from right to left, this is a fixed edict format, the sentence can be: "Feng... Tian Cheng Yun..." The emperor's edict said.
2, can also be read together as: Blessed by heaven...the emperor's edict said
3. It can also be read as: Feng... Tian Chengyun Emperor... said the edict.
This is because neither the Ming Dynasty Huidian nor the Qing Dynasty Huidian strictly stipulated the form of sentence fragmentation in the imperial edict.
