lied to Kangxi

Chapter 520 Make the decision for Kangxi

In the evening, Yuzhu led his staff to start a routine street patrol.

Since the Procuratorate of the Five Cities and the Bingma Division were all under the jurisdiction of Yuzhu, the gossip about public security in the outer cities has disappeared.

The servants of the Shuntian government office, the Daxing county government office, and the Wanping county government office all had a tacit understanding, and no longer participated in street patrol activities, but went to specialize in various criminal cases.

This means that in the capital city at night, all the soldiers patrolling the streets are Yuzhu's soldiers.

As in the past, after Yuzhu got on his horse from the gate of the mansion, he passed through the alley of Taipu Temple, passed the West Fourth Archway, crossed the Desheng Bridge, and circled the entire palace from west to east, making a full circle.

Unlike the mixed population in the outer city, the inner city is full of banner people except for a very few Hanchens.

Banner people in the inner city generally have higher incomes and live a stable life, and petty theft is rare.

Different from the outer city, the public security area of ​​the inner city is garrisoned according to the location of the Eight Banners.

The security problem in the inner city is mainly caused by the drunken princes and nobles, or trespassing at night.

With the imperial city as the center, there are Zhenghuang and Xianghuang banners in the north; Zhengbai and Xiangbai banners in the east; Zhenghong and Xianghong banners in the west; Zhenglan and Xianglan banners in the south of the imperial city. , where Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han armies of the Eight Banners were stationed.

The flood seasons in the imperial city are guarded by the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Each banner has two infantrymen responsible for the defense of each flood season in the banner. The fence houses three infantrymen.

Duopao, that is, the police station in the inner city.A fence, even a security box.

These guarding officers and soldiers, collectively known as the Eight Banners Infantry, are all Yuzhu's subordinates.

There is a large fence at the front gate of the outer city, and the bannermen of the old imperial capital are all called "Da Shi Lan'er".

Anyone who talks about "big bombing" is a newcomer, and the old banner people will know it when they hear it.

It is impossible for Yuzhu to patrol the city every day, and it is impossible not to patrol the city.

Every month, Yuzhu always takes five or six days to lead troops to patrol the city at night.

There is no way, the responsibility lies, if Yuzhu does not personally participate in patrolling the city, the censors will impeach him.

Yuzhu personally patrols the city. Basically, this time it is the inner city, and next time it will be changed to the outer city. The route is not fixed each time.

Just in front of the large team, two soldiers were riding on tall horses, each holding a huge lantern in their hands.

On the lantern on the left, there is a line of bold and black words: Zongrenfu Youzongrenyu.The lantern on the right is: Infantry Commander Jade.

These two official positions are very targeted, enough to deter lawless princes and ministers.

Yuzhu's city patrol team is exceptionally different.

On his left side are soldiers in three columns.

These soldiers held half-human-high shields, three-meter-long half-moon steel forks, two-meter-long thick iron rods, special wooden shackles, special iron chains and ropes, etc. instrument.

On the right side of Yuzhu, there is a group of new army officers and soldiers with rifles on their shoulders, led by a team officer (company commander).

This arrangement is very scientific.

If there are not many thieves, the pawns on the left can rush forward with cold weapons, and they can be directly arrested and brought to justice.

If the thieves attack in large numbers, the soldiers of the new army on the right can form a queue anytime and anywhere to suppress them nearby.

When the big team reached the East Fourth Pailou, Yuzhu ordered a half-quarter hour break because the journey was too long.

Yuzhu got off the horse, and Wu Jiang hurriedly handed over the water bag.

After drinking a few sips of water, Wu Sheng brought a foldable ponytail and asked Yu Zhu to sit down and rest his feet.

After Yuzhu sat on the saddle, Wu Jiang took out a cigar from his bosom and handed it to Yuzhu's hand.

Wu Sheng lit the fire sickle and lit the cigar for Yu Zhu.

Yuzhu took a long puff on his cigar, and then spit out several smoke rings, looking extremely comfortable.

"Sober up." Following Yuzhu's order, Wu Sheng found out the rum bottle from his horse, poured half of it into a goblet, and shook the glass gently.

After about a quarter of an hour, Yuzhu held a cigar in his left hand and a wine glass in his right hand, taking three sips of wine in one puff, not to mention how moist it was.

In fact, Kangxi also tasted a series of foreign wines such as rum.

The alcohol content of this kind of foreign wine is not high, a small drink or two, just like drinking Beijing rice wine, it is impossible to get drunk.

What's more, Yu Zhu was a pure drinker, and Kangxi knew it well.

Anyway, with Kangxi's acquiescence, it's perfectly fine for Yuzhu to drink a little wine when he is patrolling the city.

Even if he was impeached by the imperial censor, the old emperor would stay in the court, so there would be nothing wrong with him.

All the rules of the game in the Qing Dynasty were based on the will of the old emperor.

As long as the old emperor approves, even if it is an act that violates the rules, it is as if it did not happen.

If the old emperor didn't like you a long time ago, even if you didn't make a mistake, he could still find fault with you and break you down on purpose.

During the rest, Yu Zhu smoked and drank alone, and his subordinates also took out the chicken drumsticks, pastries, and steamed buns in their arms, and began to add various pickles.

Now, under Yuzhu's leadership, the treatment of the Eight Banners infantry is higher than that of the other Eight Banners soldiers, except that it cannot be compared with the firearms battalion.

Objectively speaking, the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners Infantry Army, including the new army, as long as they don't buy money, gamble, or invest indiscriminately, they will surely live a happy life and become a well-to-do class.

After the rest, Yu Zhu led the large team and continued to inspect various places.

In fact, Yuzhu's inspection is just a formality.

The real thieves, when they realize that such a large team is coming, if they don't get out of the way in advance, they will be out of their minds.

However, this form of patrolling the city led by Yuzhu is also indispensable.

In short, formalism prevails in officialdom.When it's time to talk, there must be no ambiguity, such as the patrol tonight.

After setting off again, Yu Zhu felt a little sleepy, so he simply sat in the official sedan chair and was carried by the porters around the city.

There is no way, Yuzhu has too many part-time jobs, both civilian and military.Whether riding a horse or sitting in a sedan chair, Yuzhu is completely tenable, and he is not afraid of impeachment at all.

After a complete inspection, Yuzhu took out his pocket watch by the light of the lantern, and looked at it, my good fellow, it's already the fourth watch.

Come on, when I go back home at this time, I can't squint my eyes to catch up on sleep except for making noises with my family.

Anyway, the Xihua Gate had already been opened, and Yuzhu simply entered the palace, was washed by the little eunuch, and then came to see Kangxi.

At this time, the lights in Kangxi's bedroom were already on.However, the team of eunuchs and maids carrying hot water basins, white towels, etc. were still waiting at the steps outside the palace gate.

Well, Yuzhu could tell at a glance that the old emperor was still lying on the dragon couch reading a book and hadn't gotten up.

The imperial minister on duty, Fei Yanggu, saw Yu Zhu approaching, and hurriedly saluted him, and said respectfully, "Please rest assured, Lord Zhu."

Fei Yanggu is also a child of the clan.However, his official position and title are much lower than Yuzhu, and Yuzhu is his immediate boss, so he can only show his extra respect for Lord Zhu by pleading with him.

Yuzhu smiled and asked him: "Is there nothing wrong last night?"

"Returning to Lord Zhu, last night, Lord Long Live got up several times, as if his stomach was not feeling well. I asked Wei Zhu who was on duty at night, but Wei Zhu said, Lord Long Live has spoken, so there is no need to call the imperial physician." Fei Yang There are not many words in ancient times, but the ins and outs are clearly explained.

Objectively speaking, the clan's children in the early Qing period still had many available talents, which was also the fundamental factor for the Qing court to secure its position.

Of course, Daqing's luck is really not bad.

At the beginning of Wu Sangui's army, his momentum was like a broken bamboo, and the young Kangxi was stunned.

However, after Wu Sangui captured Hunan, he became dizzy and stopped moving.

This left Kangxi with a breathing space, allowing him to calmly mobilize the Eight Banners soldiers and the Green Battalion soldiers to come to confront each other in large numbers.

In addition, Geng Jingzhong has already entered Jiangxi, and the progress is very smooth.Zheng Jing copied Geng's lair, which was a great help to Kangxi.

Since the old emperor's health was in trouble, Yuzhu didn't care what Wei Zhu said, he went straight to the door of the bedroom and said loudly, "My son Yuzhu, please see Khan Ama."

The old emperor, who was leaning on the dragon bed and reading a book, heard Yuzhu's voice, smiled and said to Wei Zhu who was kneeling on the pedal: "This kid must know about the many times he got up last night, look at it." Well, he will definitely force me to call the imperial doctor."

Wei Zhu blinked, and after careful consideration, this is really the case, and Yu Zhu can actually be the younger half of Long Live Lord.

Especially, when it comes to the dragon body of Lord Long Live, as long as he is not called an imperial physician, Yuzhu will definitely not be able to let it go.

"Long Live Lord, you really should be called an imperial physician." Wei Zhu was also worried about Yuzhu's questioning, so he quickly changed his words.

Kangxi glanced at Wei Zhu, and asked him back: "You didn't seem to persuade me to call the imperial physician last night, did you?"

Wei Zhu complained secretly, isn't this turning over the old score?

Fortunately, Wei Zhu had served the old emperor for many years and was very familiar with the old emperor's temper. He quickly explained: "Long live, you are a famous doctor who was never born in the world. If you say that you don't need to be called an imperial doctor, this old slave will definitely believe it."

The old emperor didn't say anything, Wei Zhu's heart sank suddenly, it was his heart.

Sure enough, after Yuzhu came in, the first thing he did was to ask the old emperor to call the imperial doctor to come and have a look.

But the old emperor said: "Wei Zhu said, it's a trivial matter, there's no need to call the imperial doctor."

Yuzhu stared at Wei Zhu coldly, and said angrily, "How dare you be so perfunctory, your ass is itchy again? Khan Ama, I implore you, drag Wei Zhu out. Hit [-] big boards again."

Wei Zhu was frightened and paralyzed on the spot, but she didn't dare to beg for mercy, she just kowtowed to plead guilty.

When the old emperor was petty, the more he begged for mercy, the harder the punishment.

"Fifty boards are too much, how about ten boards?" Seeing that Yu Zhu was angry, the old emperor calmed down.

"Ten boards are too little, how about thirty boards?" Yuzhu gave up.

The old emperor looked at Wei Zhu whose forehead was already red. After all, he was an old man beside him. He couldn't bear it, so he said: "We two, don't fight, just hit fifteen."

"Come here, drag Wei Zhu, an old dog, and beat him hard." Yuzhu stopped arguing, and called the guards in front of the old emperor.

When Wei Zhu was dragged out, he took a deep look at Yuzhu, and said silently in his heart, thank you Master Zhu for saving me!
