lied to Kangxi

Chapter 642 Tong Banchao, It's Nothing

In the early morning, Tong Jiashi woke up early, and began to wash up under the service of her personal maids.

Today is Tong Jia's big day, she will be formally canonized as imperial concubine soon.

After Tong Jia's ascension to the throne, the eunuchs, maids and nuns in Jingren Palace came forward to ask for rewards.

According to the usual practice, for such a big event, people around him must be rewarded heavily, and Tong Jia's is no exception.

Although Tong Jiashi has long since fallen out of favor, with Yu Zhu always taking care of her, her little life is quite comfortable.

When the sun was rising, the three chief and deputy envoys appeared at the gate of Jingren Palace holding the imperial decree in their hands.

Because of the grace of the old emperor, besides Tong Guowei, many people from the old Tong's family gathered in Jingren Palace to watch the ceremony.

Between father and daughter, there is a gap between monarch and minister, which is completely insurmountable.

If Tong Guowei came, even if he was Tong Jia's biological father, he would definitely have endless kowtows.

The canonized envoy was originally the chief scholar of the Manchurian University, Song Zhu.

Perhaps the old emperor felt that he had treated Yuzhu badly, so he temporarily ordered the iron-capped Prince Kang Chong'an, as a special envoy, to read the canonization edict in person.

When he was four years old, Chong'an's biological father, Prince Kang Chuntai, died.

The old emperor had true love for the old Prince Kang Jieshu, but he didn't like Chuntai very much, so he deliberately let the four-year-old Chong'an become a nobleman in order to weaken the latent power of Prince Kang's family.

This time, the old emperor specially appointed the teenage Chong'an as the canonized envoy. He wanted to take advantage of his power as an iron-capped prince, but also didn't want the old nobles of Manchuria to gossip too much.

"Special instruction, Ziertong Jia, who was born in a famous Manchurian family, has a noble character, and is promoted to be an imperial concubine, hereby!" Prince Kang Chong'an read the old emperor's special edict first.

"Slave Tong Jia, please respectfully listen to the oracle." The noble concubine Tong, who was dressed up, bowed to the ground and accepted the old emperor's first order.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's system said: I only teach the orchid boudoir. The emblem of the nine emperors is ringing. The Jiaodian supports Qin. The post of cocoons and six palaces is offered. Allowing the glory to be in Zhaifu. Yiben favoring Luanzhang. Zier The imperial concubine Tong Jia's family is of a clear quality, with a long-lasting fragrance, a long-standing appearance, and a long-awaited husband's decree, a scarf and a towel, and she is a royal concubine in Jin Dynasty. Shenzhi's order. Erqi Fanli is the only one The admonition of Yi Yantong's history. Mao Zhi's long-term praise. He praises the transformation of the purple court. Qin Zai." Song Zhu read the imperial edict in a cadence.

"Slave Tong Jia, thank you for your kindness." The little imperial concubine Tong bowed to the ground again.

In the crowd, because Tong Guowei didn't come, Long Kedo knelt down to the front without hesitation.

The other seven brothers of the Tong family knelt behind Longkodo one by one.

There is no way, although Longkodo is the third child, he is the first lucky one of the old Tong family to be a marquis in his generation.

According to the old practice of the Qing Dynasty, if the Hanchen had no military merits, let alone a feudal marquis, he would not even have a hereditary title.

Hong Chengchou, who established the Central Plains for the Qing Dynasty and made great achievements in the world, finally got the job of a third-class Adahafan (Qingche Duwei), and he was only allowed to inherit four generations.

However, the rules have always restricted ordinary people, and the real Manchu nobles have different rules of the game.

Objectively speaking, for the nobles of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, starting from Huang Taiji, another set of ancestral family law system of discussing relatives and nobles has been implemented.

Zhen Guogong Yuzhu, naturally, was at the forefront of the grandchildren of the entire Old Tong family.

It must be admitted that under the special arrangement of the old emperor, Yuzhu's status as the next generation head of the old Tong family is as stable as a rock.

The status of a great Manchu nobleman provided Yu Zhu with great convenience and helped him get countless benefits from the old emperor.

Among these benefits, the most terrible is the military power of the 6000 new troops.

If Yuzhu wasn't a junior from Kang Mazi's mother clan, he would have the military power, heh heh, let alone take it, even wanting to touch it would be wishful thinking.

The Kangxi Dynasty was not the Xianfeng Dynasty, which had been completely corrupted by the Eight Banners.

Even if Zeng Guofan came to Kangxi, he would definitely not smell the slightest bit of military power.

When she was canonized as a noble concubine, little Tong Jia just performed three kneelings, nine kowtows and six austerities at the outer steps of Fengxian Hall, she was not eligible to enter the hall.

After the noble concubine Tong was kneeling in front of the Fengxian Hall, Zhang Tingyu, the deputy envoy of the canonization and the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly showed the old emperor's edict, ordering her to enter the hall and kneel down to worship the tablet of Emperor Kaoshizuzhang.

After hearing this, Longkodo couldn't restrain a smile on his face.

Hehe, there is absolutely no precedent for a woman to enter Fengxian Hall since the kingdom.

Even the first empress Hesheli, whom the old emperor was most grateful to, never entered the Fengxian Hall.

Qingtai, on the other hand, looked at the back of Concubine Tong with great anxiety, fearing that there would be a big disturbance.

But Yu Zhu wasn't worried at all, um, how should I put it, my aunt and father were never confused about major issues, so don't worry about it.

Sure enough, the little imperial concubine Tong bowed to the ground and said reverently: "Master Zhang, please play back to my master. This servant is originally a Puliu, and it was lucky to come from Tong Jia's family. Thanks to the favor of my master, this slave is the imperial concubine." , is already a unparalleled kindness, and I dare not surpass Xianxiaocheng Empress."

Qingtai secretly heaved a sigh of relief, it should be so, it should be so.

If there is no restraint in the fire cooking oil, wouldn't it be heard that the catastrophe of extinction is imminent?
When Yu Zhu heard that his aunt had cited the precedent of abolishing the prince's own mother, he couldn't help smiling, very kind.

You must know that it was precisely because Empress Xiaocheng married the old emperor that she gained Sony's huge power and full support for the old emperor.

It is no exaggeration to say that Sony's support for the old emperor is the reason why the old emperor dared to arrange to capture Oboi.

As the saying goes, drink water and think of the source. The old emperor also had special affection for the first empress.

Because, the birthday of the second child of the deposed prince is the anniversary of the death of Empress Xiaocheng.

In the past, on this day, the old emperor would deliberately tell his second son some not-so-funny jokes to prevent his son from being too sad.

After the canonization ceremony, the old emperor did not summon Longkodo and Yuzhu and his son, but called Qingtai, who had returned to Beijing to report his duties, to Changchun Garden.

After Qingtai returned to the mansion, he called Yuzhu over, and said with a smile: "The emperor asked you, Ama, would you be willing to return to Beijing to enjoy the blessings?"

Yuzhu's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately understood that Qingtai had not only been transferred back to the capital, but he might have also assumed an important position.

Sure enough, Qingtai didn't wait for Yuzhu to ask questions, so he said with a smile: "You, Ama, I have served as the minister of the Ministry of Punishments several times. The emperor cared about my hard work, so he ordered me to walk in the South Study Room and serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials." .”

Hey, good guy, Yuzhu's two fathers are in charge of the knife handle and the official hat separately. Isn't the old emperor confused?
Yuzhu smiled slightly and said: "Ama, with your wisdom, it is impossible to agree to this matter, right?"

"Haha, knowing what to advance and retreat can lead to long-term success." Qingtai twitched his beard and chuckled lightly, "There are empresses in the palace, my third brother, me, and you, and it's not a blessing for a minister to take charge of power separately."
