lied to Kangxi

Chapter 173 The Opportunity Comes
Yuzhu is not a god, so it is impossible to know what kind of medicine is sold in Chen Tingjing's gourd.

However, since Chen Tingjing told him to come over, something must have happened.

"Humble Yuzhu, pay my respects to Chen Xiangguo." Yuzhu walked to the four-carried sedan chair and saluted respectfully.

"Qingqing, today we want to discuss the issue of Heshuote Khanate, do you have any ideas?" Chen Tingjing was pushed out by Zhang Yushu yesterday, and when he saw Yuzhu on the road, he wanted to ask him to help.

Yuzhu thought to himself, it was his first time to participate in the Yumen hearing today, how could he take the initiative to intervene?
If Zhang Tingyu asked, Yu Zhu would definitely pretend to be stupid, just find an excuse and get away with it.

However, Chen Tingjing is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and it is not easy to deal with Yuzhu's lung and trachea being held up by him.

"Back to Chen Lao Xiangguo, the lowly position is just a little knowledge of Tibetan, how dare you talk nonsense in front of the king?" Yuzhu said the truth, and did not deliberately evade it.

Chen Tingjing smiled and said: "If the emperor asks you, you can just tell the truth, and the old man owes you a favor, okay?"

Yu Zhu's ears immediately pricked up, and the alarm sounded in his heart.

Good guy, to be honest, can Chen Tingjing owe someone a favor?
Hey, the more beautiful things look, the bigger the pits.

"To tell you the truth, old Xiangguo Chen, the lowly position is nothing more than a lowly official, how could the emperor ask the lowly position's opinion?" Yu Zhu could only choose to continue to pretend to be stupid.

In the officialdom, it is often the case that you tell the truth and offend the big shots instead.

What these big men want is not the truth, but the trust of the emperor.

As we all know, as long as Jane is in the heart of the emperor, she will not worry about getting promoted and getting rich.

"Qingqing, let me tell you the truth. The emperor praised you very much yesterday, saying that you know the customs and customs of Xueyu very well. The emperor also said that many important officials of the court even They can't tell the difference, let alone Ali." When Chen Tingjing got to this point, Yuzhu continued to pretend to be stupid, just to take Chen Tingjing for a fool.

"Don't hide it from the old Xiangguo, if the emperor asks about the humble position, and it does not involve Master Wu and Li, then the humble position will tell the truth." Yuzhu quickly calculated the pros and cons of it, and made a decisive choice.

Chen Tingjing understood immediately, what Yu Zhu meant was that he could not participate in the political attack on Wu Fan and Li Guangdi, they were his two teachers.

Random biting master, hey, good reputation of being a man, do you want it?

"It's up to you." Chen Tingjing nodded in satisfaction, got out of the sedan chair and left.

From the beginning to the end, Chen Tingjing never mentioned the word Zhang Yushu.However, Yuzhu's heart is like a mirror, it must be Chen Tingjing and Zhang Yushu who broke their wrists in front of the emperor again.

Yu Zhu stayed in the South Study Room for almost a month, Wu Pu and Li Guangdi, Zhang Yushu and Chen Tingjing, the two great scholars argued almost every day.

Today's Yuzhu's position in the South Study Room is relatively detached and very delicate.

Yuzhu's status was much lower than that of Xiangguo, but much higher than the rest of Zhinan Study's officials.

The officials of the Zhinan study were divided into four groups, who were on duty in the south study and engaged in basic memorial processing.

Except for Yuzhu, among them, the one with the highest official position is just a six-rank Imperial Academy attendant.

In the South Study Room, in terms of qualifications, Yuzhu is naturally too shallow to be worth mentioning.In terms of real power, there is no difference between him and Zhang Tingyu.
However, after lunch every day, the emperor called Yuzhu into the palace to play a few games of Go or chess.

This potential influence cannot be underestimated.

Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu, these two eunuchs, one is a fourth-rank eunuch and the other is a sixth-rank eunuch, but they can collect money to do big things, so there is no need to explain the logic behind it.

To put it bluntly, among the officials of the entire foreign court, including the chief Manchurian scholar Ma Qi, none of Yuzhu and Kangxi stayed together for as long.

To put it bluntly, Yu Zhu deliberately wanted to cheat someone, all he needed to do was look through that person's old account when the emperor was furious.

In this cannibalistic society, the peasants are actually not afraid of the magistrate, but the third class of yamen servants.

The county magistrates are better off now.

I'm afraid that the yamen servant will instigate the county magistrate to pick on your faults, ransack your home, and destroy your door.The evil gentry and gentlemen do such immoral things almost every day.

To be honest, if it wasn't for Yuzhu playing chess with the emperor every day, Chen Tingjing wouldn't bother to talk to him.

It's nothing more than a fourth-rank official, is he also assigned to carry shoes for the current Prime Minister?

After entering the palace, Yu Zhu just showed up in the south study room, and followed Chen Tingjing, who was on duty today, to Qianqingmen.

The imperial gate listens to the government, which is inside the gate of Qianqing.

At the scene, more than a dozen high-ranking officials have arrived, led by Ma Qi and the fifth elder brother.

After seeing the layout of the scene clearly, Yuzhu thought, whether it was in the South Study Room or the Qianqing Palace, most of the places were discussing state affairs.

Kangxi just chose Qianqingmenli, why bother?
As long as it is windy, rainy or snowy, there is no way to control the government.

However, Yu Zhu thought about it carefully, maybe Kangxi wanted to lead by example to remind the banner people that it is difficult to enter the customs, and it is even more difficult to keep a business?

At Maozheng time, Kangxi appeared in Qianqingmen on time.

"The ministers respectfully welcome Sheng'an." The important ministers headed by Ma Qi and the fifth elder brother saluted together.

"Eli."

Yu Zhu was the day-to-day living annotator on duty today. Now that the emperor had arrived, he took two steps back in accordance with etiquette and stood next to the small desk behind the crowd.

After the emperor sat down, Yuzhu saluted at the spot, and then sat in front of the small desk, ready to record the speeches of the emperor and the ministers.

While Ma Qi was playing something and the emperor hadn't spoken, Yuzhu picked up his pen and ink, and wrote a line on the manuscript paper: Shangyu Qianqing Gate, University Scholars and Ma Qi said, the household department's third inventory of silver is only one thousand One million taels is not enough to conquer Junggar.

During the gap between records, Yu Zhu noticed that Kangxi's handling of government affairs was actually very fast.Basically, as soon as the ministers finished playing, Kangxi made a decision, either to submit it to the Ministry for discussion, or to let the people present give their opinions.

That's right, Kangxi has been emperor for 45 years, and he has long been familiar with various political and military affairs.

About an hour later, the eldest brother Yinqi, the elder brother of the management department of the Lifan Academy, came out to report.Lazang Khan of the Heshuote Khanate asked the court to allow him to choose another eminent monk.

As soon as Yuzhu heard it, he understood that Lazang Khan's wishful thinking was that as long as the court agreed to choose another eminent monk, his legitimacy would be established.

However, things are far from that simple.All powerful factions in Xueyu, except Lazang Khan's faction, do not recognize it.

Because of the huge controversy over this matter, the dignitaries in the snowy region collectively led wolves into their houses and asked the Junggar Khan Tsewang Alabutan to send troops into the snowy region to preside over the so-called justice.

As a result, the two biggest battles in Kangxi's later years broke out, that is, the two battles of Pingxueyu.

In the First World War, Kangxi dispatched Jingzhou Eight Banners soldiers to enter the snowy area through Yazhou in Sichuan, but the whole army was wiped out.

In the second attack of the Qing army, they became smarter and changed to enter the snowy area from Qinghai.Because of the old fourteenth, the general Wang Yinti commanded well and successfully drove the Junggar army out of the snowy area.

However, after Yongzheng ascended the throne, in order to weaken the influence of the old fourteenth, he made a wrong decision to withdraw troops from the snowy area, which led to continuous wars in the northwest region.

After the fifth elder brother finished playing, Kangxi did not make a decision immediately, but asked the important ministers for advice.

At this time, Zhang Yushu came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the snowy land is a barren land. I have always refused to accept Wang Hua, so I should continue to restrain it."

Yu Zhu understood, what Zhang Yushu meant was that Ilha Tsang Khan invited him.

Chen Tingjing came out without showing any weakness, and said: "I think that a new eminent monk should be established. After all, it is approved by the imperial court and should not be changed lightly."

In Yu Zhu's heart, he understood very well that the re-establishment of the eminent monk completely angered Xue Yu's vested interest groups.

Why?Re-establishing an eminent monk would destroy the established tradition of succession of great monks in Xueyu, and would inevitably be resisted.

The vested interest groups in Xueyu did not hesitate to lure wolves into the house, but also wanted to kill Lhazang Khan.Objectively speaking, the main reason is that the so-called religious authority is strict, facing the danger of a subversive collapse.

Most of the important ministers present, including Ma Qi, did not know where Lhasa was, let alone Shigatse.

As for Kangxi, he was very familiar with the geographical location of Xueyu. He was mainly worried that the Junggar Khanate swallowed Xueyu.

The logic is actually very simple. The Junggar Khanate swallowed up one more country, and its strength will inevitably grow stronger again.

After the Junggar Khanate has completely digested the strength of the snow region, and simultaneously attacked the Qing Dynasty from the southwest, northwest, and the Mongolian plateau, who can bear this?
The snowy area is even more condescending, directly threatening the Sichuan granary in the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty, and it is a strategic place that must be contested!
Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong still had some strategic vision.

These three emperors spent more than 70 years successively, consuming countless soldiers, horses, money and food, and finally conquered the Junggar Khanate.

The separate setting of the Minister in Tibet and General Yili marked the Qing Dynasty's complete inclusion of Xueyu and Zhuangbu into the territory of China.

Standing on the standpoint of great unification, this move is very good!
Kangxi also knew very well in his heart, does Zhang Yushu know where Shigatse is?In addition, Chen Tingjing certainly didn't know where Ali was.

They were just at odds with each other and attacked each other. Kangxi's heart is like a mirror.

"Yuzhu, tell me, under Gandan Pozhang, who is in power?"

While Yu Zhu was listening intently, Kangxi called his name abruptly.

Hey, if you ask someone else this question, you will be dumbfounded, and it is a big problem that you can't think of.

But, to be honest, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and this is what Yuzhu is waiting for.

I'm afraid the emperor won't ask him, as long as he asks, it's his chance!

The opportunity has come, what should I do?Yuzhu must do everything possible to catch him, and show his talent in front of the old emperor, so that the old emperor can understand one thing: he, Yuzhu, is an expert on Northwest issues, no, he is an expert among experts.
