lied to Kangxi

Chapter 372 Before the Dragon Bed
In fact, it is not easy for Lao Ba to attack Yu Zhu.

This is because Yuzhu's identity, stand and performance are appropriate.

Yu Zhu was originally a concubine of the Tong family, and was promoted by Kangxi himself to reach the high position he is today.

To put it bluntly, without Kangxi's special favor, even if Yuzhu could learn to study again, he would still sink into the ranks of sixth and seventh rank bureaucrats.

More importantly, Yuzhu is not only loyal, but also low-key, and gave Kangxi a big handle.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if Yuzhu was abandoned, where would Kangxi go to find such a useful lonely minister?
However, difficulty does not mean that there is no opportunity at all.

The construction department under Bachner's management has accumulated many disadvantages and countless moths.The old man can pick any excuse at will, and Baqina can't bear to go around.

At the moment of life and death, there is no guarantee that Baqina will not cooperate with Lao Ba and drag Yu Zhu into the water.

Is there any reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days?
A few days later, Yuzhu entered Qianqing Palace to take a rotating duty in front of the imperial court, and Kangxi summoned him into the bedroom as usual.

Under the extremely private space, Yuzhu was not so restrained. After saluting, he sat straight on the footrest in front of the dragon couch.

This is where Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu often sit.

"What do you think about the rebuilding of the Hall of Harmony?" Kangxi casually asked Yuzhu.

Yuzhu cupped his hands and said, "In front of you, old man, I'll just say it directly, the cost is too high. But, in this extraordinary period, the House of Internal Affairs can't be messed up, so I didn't say much."

This is Yuzhu's usual practice in front of Kangxi. When he speaks harshly, he must raise the tiger-skin banner of taking care of the overall situation.

Kangxi nodded, isn't it.After the new year, the second prince will be abolished, and he will be forced to reappoint the eighth prince.

A seasoned politician will certainly not deal with all his opponents at the same time.

What Kangxi did was to unite all forces that could be united, and even recruited the eighth son to clean up the prince together.

After cleaning up the crown prince, it's not too late to come back and clean up the old eighth.

"Well, the cost of 150 million taels for Yikun Palace, which is only one hall, one gate, and half, is just a matter of estimating, am I confused?" The older Kangxi got, the more afraid he was to say he was old, which was a big taboo.

Yu Zhupin's words were not in the right style, and he quickly salivated and said, "I heard that you have to turn over the brand three times a night?"

When Kangxi heard this, he smiled triumphantly and said, "A few of them are pregnant with dragon species again."

As for men, the older they get, the more afraid they are that they are not good at that.

Yu Zhu did exactly what he liked, just tickled Kangxi's itch, and took advantage of the opportunity to avoid the sensitive topic of the emperor's aging.

"How are you?" Kangxi asked Yuzhu maliciously.

Yuzhu said honestly: "Although I am very young, I can only be brave three times if I am a new concubine."

"Oh, is it Mrs. Zhao? I heard that you dote on her very much?" Kangxi looked at Yuzhu with a smile.

Yuzhu said very calmly: "It is indeed the Zhao family. She was originally a gift from the Cao family. At that time, she was not yet in shape. She was raised by me in the mansion for many years, and she is much more beautiful."

"Well, Zhuang Mu Shaoai has natural instincts." Kangxi knew the situation of Yuzhu's family well.

The old emperor's sleepiness is shallow, and he and Yu Zhu's bedtime chat is completely different, and they can chat about anything that is not taboo.

The old emperor was indeed suspicious.

However, Yu Zhu is not a vegetarian either.As long as Kangxi is still alive, Yuzhu is Huo Guang when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not close his eyes.

However, it is difficult for Yu Zhu to be associated with Huo Guang.

During the decades of serving Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang has been cautious in handling errands and never made mistakes.

As for Yu Zhu, he is not only greedy for money, but also bold enough to make Cao Yi's belly bigger.As long as Kangxi wants to take him into surgery, the reasons are ready-made.

In the eyes of the old emperor, loyal ministers have always been divided into ranks.

Yuzhu is Kangxi's mother's cousin and nephew, and this identity determines that he does not belong to the poor scholar who can be abandoned by Kangxi at any time.

If Kangxi didn't trust Yuzhu, how could he hand over the greatest military power in the capital to Yuzhu?

In his later years, Kangxi almost used his own power to suppress the entire noble class in Manchuria.

Objectively speaking, Kangxi really needs the loyalty of Yuzhu, Longkodo and Qingtai.

"Old man, I want to resign from the position of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and concentrate on managing the security of the capital." Yuzhu deliberately showed fear of the old man.

Kangxi glanced at Yuzhu and said, "Is there any reason to retreat for a lifetime?"

Yuzhu understood, the old emperor was trying to cheer him up, encourage him, don't be afraid of Lao Ba.

Well, as long as Yuzhu always stands on the opposite side of Lao Ba, he can stand firmly in the court.

However, this does not mean that Baqina will also be protected by Kangxi.

But the problem is, if Baqiner is plotted against Baqina as soon as he enters the Ministry of Internal Affairs, does Yuzhu still have prestige in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
In officialdom, if the enemy wants to bring down a popular big shot, they almost always attack from their wings.

In this era where concubines are allowed, the only way to bring down big men is to take bribes or run amok, except for incorrect positions.

After chatting with the old emperor for more than an hour, the old emperor was finally sleepy, and Yuzhu knelt down.

Not long after Yuzhu returned to the duty room, Xiao Yezi came with a red lacquer food box to deliver the supper.

As an imperial minister, Yu Zhu was treated very well. Not only was there a young eunuch serving him in front of the door, but even the supper was luxurious with eight dishes and one soup.

Originally, it was Xiao Yezi who did it all by herself, arranging the food and putting it on the table.

This time, it was completely different from before.

The two little eunuchs in front of Yu Zhu cleverly grabbed the food box from Xiao Ye Zi's hand, and called out affectionately: "Master Ye, you are going to deliver supper in the future, just send someone to tell the little ones."

Uh-huh, Master Ye, Yuzhu could hear clearly, but she still sat firmly at the desk without saying a word.

Among the eunuchs in the palace, the highest-ranking eunuchs all stayed in the respect room.

However, these great eunuchs have high status, but their real power is far inferior to Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu.

The logic is actually very simple.

In the circle of eunuchs, the closer they are to the emperor, the more they are favored by the emperor, and the life and death of others can be determined with one word.

Zhao Chang, the fourth-rank palace supervisor, seemed majestic and mighty.

In his heart, as long as Liang Jiugong saw the right opportunity, he would take advantage of the opportunity to slander Kangxi when he was furious.Zhao Chang would eat a board at the least, and lose his head at the worst.

Back then, Li Si, the majestic Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, really held great power.However, he lost to Zhao Gao who was beside Qin Ershi. This is the logic and reason.

When Li Si entered the palace to face the king, Zhao Gao only used ten eunuchs to capture Li Si, and then successfully wiped out Li Si's three clans.

Little Ye Zi, at what age did she become a master?
Even if Yuzhu used his feet to think, he knew that this was obviously Wei Zhu's quiet gesture of favor.

Hehe, Wei Zhu finally couldn't wait to attack Liang Jiugong!

Liang Jiugong has served Kangxi for many years, and he is also a well-known eunuch of Haha Zhuzi. Even if Yuzhu wants to bring down Liang Jiugong, it is inconvenient to do it directly.

Now, when Wei Zhu wanted to do something, Yu Zhu could naturally assist him.

There is no way, if Liang Jiugong is left with that great scourge by the old emperor's side, something big will happen sooner or later.

It is impossible for Yu Zhu to do the things of appeasing the traitors and raising tigers.

To truly understand people, where is it necessary to meet every day and plot big things from time to time?

Waiting for Yuzhu to use up supper, after the little eunuch in front of the door helped clean up the dishes, Xiao Yezi saluted and said softly: "Mr. Zhu, thank you for your kindness."

Yu Zhu smiled slightly, if Xiao Ye Zi is an idiot, why should he cultivate him?

There are not ten thousand, but eight thousand little eunuchs who are not in power in the palace.

However, the one who can get the reward silver from Yu Zhu is Xiao Ye Zi.

Oh, no, it should be called Master Ye now!
Rank is not the only criterion for distinguishing the ranks of eunuchs.

Below the level, there is another set of strict levels that are customary.

Let’s talk about the Qianqing Palace, Liang Jiugong, the Chief Chief, and Wei Zhu, the Second Chief, and they are divided into the leading eunuch, the chief eunuch, the imperial eunuch, the palace eunuch, the palace eunuch, the sweeping eunuch, and the rough envoy eunuch.

The levels are extremely strict, and one level suppresses one level.

In addition, in the imperial tea dining room, only the eunuchs and above are eligible to accept apprentices, and are honored as masters.

Yuzhu, the eunuch beside the old emperor, did not dare to act rashly.

After waiting patiently for so many years, Wei Zhu only promoted a little leaf because of Wei Zhu's desire for power.

A dark game like Xiaoyezi doesn't need much, it just works.

At the critical moment, as long as accurate information leaked from Kangxi's bedroom, it would be a great help to Yuzhu.

Of course, Yuzhu could never hang himself from a tree.

With the secret assistance of Concubine Tong Gui, Yuzhu had planted another secret by Kangxi's side early on.

This so-called, there is mental calculation without intention, and there is no preparation for calculation!

On the other side of the strait, some people have always suspected that Wei Lihuang is the biggest traitor who lost the industrial center of Northeast China.

In fact, the real master played chess more than [-] years ago, and Wei Lihuang is not the only one who works?
Lying on the bed with his clothes on, Yu Zhu went through the whole process of "chatting" with Kangxi again.

Objectively speaking, with tonight's foreshadowing, Yu Zhu will not be afraid even if Lao Ba makes a fuss about Bacchin's corruption.

At best, Lao Ba took advantage of the trend and took control of the Construction Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Why not give it to him?

As far as Yuzhu was concerned, the more Lao Ba was tossing around in the House of Internal Affairs, the more the old emperor hated him.

I can't bear children, I can't set up hungry wolves!

Everyone understands the principle of wanting to take before giving.

However, in reality, who is willing to throw away the fat that has already been obtained?
This is roughly similar to Prince Yinreng, who is desperately trying to seize military power, and Kangxi must firmly hold down his dirty hands stretched out indiscriminately.

The so-called dripping water wears away a stone is not a day's work.

The prince who has been in power for more than [-] years did not come to the point of being deposed again overnight.

In the morning, not long after Yu Zhu returned to Qing Mansion, he saw Cao's family sending someone to ask him to discuss Cao Yong's marriage.

The Cao family also knew that Yuzhu had a bad impression of their family, so they specially sent the second master Di and the second grandmother to invite Yuzhu and Cao Chun together.
