lied to Kangxi

Chapter 611 The water in the palace is very deep
"The Empress Dowager passed away, a national mourning! I ordered to inspect the Xian'an Palace!" Yu Zhu didn't bother to beat the dog in the water, and held up the Golden Approval Order high.

The second child heaved a long sigh of relief when he heard the news of his grandmother's death, and his life is safe for the time being!
If the old emperor died, the second child felt that it would be a catastrophe.

The second child has been imprisoned in the palace, but his son Hongxi has been staying by the old emperor's side.

Previously, the second child had always hoped that the old emperor would simply learn from Ming Taizu and pass on the throne to Hongxi over many sons.

After all, the second child has been the crown prince for more than [-] years, so he knows very well that whether the fourth child becomes the emperor or the fourteenth takes over the throne, it is impossible for him to step out of this Xian'an Palace again.

Seeing that the second child was silent, Yuzhu waved his big hand, and the imperial guards who followed behind him rushed up and rushed into Xian'an Palace.

After a short time, the eunuchs and maids who served the second child in Xian'an Palace were all brought to Yuzhu.

Seeing the second child looking at him suspiciously, Yuzhu said lightly: "By order, the eunuchs, maids and nuns in Xian'an Palace will be rotated."

The second child understood in a second that the old emperor was worried that someone would get along with him for a long time, which would cause problems easily.

"Huh, the precautions are quite strict!" The second child endured and endured, but he still didn't sneer.

Yu Zhu pretended not to hear, and ordered: "Take them all away!"

"Hey." The imperial guards escorted dozens of eunuchs and court ladies out of Xian'an Palace.

"Second brother, Khan Ama has given you an order. If you have any requests, just tell me." Yu Zhu cupped his hands pretendingly.

The second child sneered and said: "I eat well here, sleep well, my beautiful wife and concubines are all around me, there are a lot of monthly bills and silver rewards, and I won't change it for a prince with an iron hat."

Yuzhu pretended to be deaf, pretending that he didn't hear. He smiled and said, "Second brother, did you really not ask for it? Well, I'll report to Khan Ama right now."

People under the eaves still don't want to bow their heads, then they can only ask for trouble and have nothing to do with others.

Seeing Yuzhu turned around to leave, the second child hastily said, "Can you give me some of the newly selected girls?"

Yuzhu nodded, he knew the second child's intentional trick, but still pretended not to understand, and agreed to tell the old emperor.

After coming out of Xian'an Palace, by coincidence, Yu Zhu ran into Hong Xi by chance.

"Uncle Zhu, please rest assured." Regardless of Hong Xi's extraordinary favor, he never dared to put on airs like the eldest grandson of the emperor in front of Yu Zhu.

The old emperor once specifically ordered that Hong Xi was not allowed to have any contact with the second child.

The reason is actually not complicated. The old emperor thought that although the second child was very bad, Hong Xi was benevolent and filial for all to see.

Yu Zhu was the adoptive son publicly recognized by the old emperor, and Hong Xi called him Uncle Zhu, and he fully deserved the title.

"Just came out of the upper study room?" Yuzhu asked Hong Xi with a pleasant face.

Hongxi leaned back, and replied respectfully: "To tell you the truth, Uncle Zhu, I just went to Yuqing Palace for your nephew."

Hey, there is a lot of connotation hidden in these words!

Yuzhu was very good at playing dumb, he smiled slightly and said, "I'm going back to give orders, so you don't want to hang around anymore, go to Ningshou Palace to watch the spirit earlier."

After the breakup, Hong Xi looked at Yu Zhu's back as he went away, feeling extremely complicated.

The complete collapse of the second child, in fact, has an inseparable relationship with Yu Zhu.

However, Hongxi has been by the old emperor's side for a long time, and he knows very well that Yuzhu is already an indispensable real power faction by the old emperor's side.

In a word, even if Hongxi is still very favored, with eighty courage, he would not dare to offend Yuzhu.

Moreover, deep in Hongxi's heart, there is still a huge expectation hidden.

If this expectation is to be fulfilled, Yuzhu's full support is obviously also indispensable.

Hongxi had made a great wish long ago, if given the opportunity, he would definitely learn from the lessons of Emperor Jianwen of the former Ming Dynasty.

Others definitely don't know the old emperor's thoughts, but Yuzhu is different.

After combining the facts of history, Yuzhu has seen the old emperor's mind very clearly.

The old emperor intentionally kept Hong Xi in the palace, which was actually a kind of entanglement.

Pass the throne to Hong Xi, the old emperor is really worried that the disaster of uncles robbing his nephew of the throne will happen again.

Pass the position to the fourth child, alas, my temper is too tough, and I am too old.

Pass the throne to the old fourteenth, this guy has been spoiled by Concubine De, he is arrogant and reckless, he is not a master!
After handing over the order, Yu Zhu came out to find the fifth and the twelve.

The fifth child's eyes were already abnormally swollen, obviously from crying too hard.

There is no way, people are not plants, how can they be ruthless?
Although the empress dowager has no blood relationship with the fifth child, to put it bluntly, the empress dowager is more than a hundred times closer to the fifth child than her own nephew.

According to common sense, the role of last words is huge.

Although the empress dowager usually doesn't care about things, as long as her dying wish is not to pick up the stars or the moon, the old emperor will definitely agree to it.

The prince's salary is 1 taels of silver and [-] hulumi per year, which cannot be shaken.

After the empress dowager spoke on her deathbed, the old emperor asked Lao Wu to manage the Three Banners with the Yellow Banner. This is real military power!

Objectively speaking, with the help of Yu Zhu, Lao Wu has never been short of money.

However, the kindness of the double salary of the Prince of Food is indeed a very special honor.

It was the first time for Lao Wu to preside over a national funeral, and it was also the empress dowager's mourning ceremony. He was naturally extra cautious and serious, lest he neglect the empress dowager who treated him so well.

"Twelfth brother, in your opinion, what code should be used?" The fifth child stared at the twelveth child and asked about the mourning ritual.

The old twelfth knew it well. This was a concrete manifestation of his important position in the professional field.

Anyway, it's a national funeral, no matter how much money you spend, you are not afraid of emptying the national treasury and the emperor's south treasury.

"Fifth Brother, in my younger brother's opinion, the funeral ceremony of the Empress Dowager Daxing should be extraordinarily grand. Back then, Khan Ama was only eight years old when he came to the throne, thanks to the great support of the Empress Dowager Daxing." The old ten Er glanced at Yuzhu, even if it was only for the kid's sake, he still had to say something out of his heart.

After the old emperor ascended the throne at the age of eight, the power of the court was actually jointly controlled by the empress dowager and the four assistant ministers.

Among the many princes of Lord Shunzhi, the relationship between the empress dowager and the old emperor was not so harmonious from the beginning.

It wasn't until Lord Shunzhi became seriously ill with smallpox that the Empress Dowager left Fuquan and the others behind after careful consideration and raised the old emperor alone.

To put it bluntly, the mystery of it is that the young master is obviously unable to hold power, which is beneficial to the empress dowager's grasp of power.

As the saying goes, the master is less suspicious.

The empress dowager's approach is exactly the same as that of the empress dowager Cixi, who first chose Guangxu and then Puyi. The essence is to gain power.

What doesn't Yuzhu understand?

The Empress Dowager and Obai are the real community of interests.

As a result, the old emperor captured Oboi by surprise, without telling the empress dowager, and gained the power to govern in advance.

Seeing that the fifth child looked at him again, Yuzhu said solemnly, "Fifth brother, the matter is very important. I'm afraid we need to find someone from the Ministry of Rites to discuss it."

With Yuzhu and Lao Twelve's deliberate foreshadowing, Lao Wu immediately ordered to invite the Minister of Rites and the servants to discuss.
