lied to Kangxi

Chapter 796 Empire Decision-Making Conference
After staying at Old Tong's house for three days, Tong Niangniang and Xiuyun parted with tears.

After this farewell, Xiuyun and Li Si'er still have a chance to meet again.However, Yuzhu's sons, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other again.

After seeing off Tong Niangniang, Yuzhu went back to work in Changchun Garden.

On this day, after breakfast, the old emperor searched for the jade pillar.

When Yuzhu entered the door, he suddenly found that all the cabinet scholars were there.

Today, there are five Cabinet Scholars, namely: Song Zhu and Xiao Yongzao, Scholars of Wenhuadian, Ma Qi and Wang Xuling, Scholars of Wuyingdian, and Wang Jian, Scholars of Wenyuange.

These five old Zhongtang, together with Yu Zhu, the head of the inner minister, happened to form the most luxurious decision-making team in the entire Qing Dynasty.

Others are fine, Wang Xuling, who is already 79 years old, is actually sitting beside the old emperor, which is beyond Yuzhu's expectation.

In the old emperor's later years, the most trusted Hanchen must be Zhang Tingyu.

However, the Hanchen most respected by the old emperor must be Wang Xuling.

Interestingly, Wang Xuling, who became a Jinshi in the 15th year of Kangxi, happened to be 30 years earlier than Yuzhu.

After Yuzhu made a big salute, he stood behind the old Zhongtang members with great interest.

There is no way, the youngest Song Zhu in the old middle hall is also 65 years old.

As for Yuzhu, she is only 31 years old, so young and frightening.

As long as Yuzhu stands here, even if he doesn't say a word, it will also set off an iron fact invisibly: the old middle halls are not far away from the day of being buried.

The four old Zhongtang were all given seats.Song Zhu and Yu Zhu suffered from their age and could only stand obediently.

Yuzhu was at the prime of his life, and his body was extremely strong, and he was not afraid of standing for a long time.

However, Song Zhu, who is already in his 60s, is struggling a bit.

After everyone arrived, the old emperor, who was sitting cross-legged, asked calmly, "How is the preparation for the ceremony of the old fourteen's return to Beijing?"

The old fourteen's return to Beijing for his job review is definitely the top priority before Kangxi's death.

Objectively speaking, the old fourteen's return this time has directly decided the big question of who is the crown prince.

Among the three, Hong Xi, Lao Si and Lao Fourteen, it's time to reveal who the old emperor chose!

Due to the high attention of the old emperor, it was none other than Songzhu, the chief Manchurian scholar, who presided over the ceremony of the old fourteen's return to Beijing.

Song Zhu then bowed his waist and reported the whole preparation process in detail.

The old emperor has been listening silently, without expressing his position.

But Yu Zhu was keenly aware that the old emperor was not satisfied with Song Zhu's routine arrangement.

No matter how powerful Song Zhu is, he is still a minister. How dare he go beyond the strict rules of etiquette?

However, the beads in the old emperor's hand turned faster and faster, which indirectly showed that he was not in a good mood.

All the people present were Gao Deshao's old Zhongtang, and it was not Yuzhu's turn to be talkative at all.

Yuzhu knew very well, the old emperor knew that he and the old fourteen were at odds, but he also brought him here.

This shows that the old emperor may have already confirmed that the old fourteenth is the prince.

It is said that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable.However, Yuzhu has been pondering Kang Mazi's thoughts for a long time, and after a long time, he has long had his own unique experience.

Sure enough, as expected, after Songzhu's report was over, the old emperor named Yuzhu.

"Yuzhu, you are the youngest here, and you have very good legs and feet, so why don't you assist Songzhu with the errands?" The old emperor didn't intend to discuss with Yuzhu at all, and gave orders directly.

"Hey." Yuzhu agreed very obediently.

These days, the methods used by the important ministers to deal with the old emperor can be described as varied, each with its own unique skills.

However, all changes remain the same, and for impossible errands, in the final analysis, there are only twelve words: deceiving the upper and the lower, obediently obediently obediently contravening, delaying and waiting for change.

There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, which is an inevitable choice in the imperial power society!

No matter how the errand was finally done, Yuzhu's attitude towards accepting the order can be described as unusually correct and impeccable.

Yu Zhu didn't bother to care about what Song Zhu was thinking.

However, the old emperor is obviously old, and his memory is not as good as before.

All the important ministers of the highest rank in the empire were present, but the old emperor began to talk about ancient times.

"Back then, when I captured Oboi, I was really hanging on..."

"Zhu Chenggong is a short-sighted person after all. He ordered troops under Jinling City for several months, but forgot to cut off the water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River..."

"Suo'etu is my number one sinner in the Qing Dynasty..."

The old emperor thought about it, said it there, and completely forgot that what is being held now is the imperial decision-making meeting.

"Oh, have you all eaten breakfast?" The old emperor asked everyone abruptly.

At this time, the eldest Wang Xuling struggled several times, wanted to stand up, but still couldn't stand up, so he could only helplessly cupped his hands and said: "Going back to the emperor, the old minister was worried about losing his composure, so he didn't dare to use liquid food."

This answer seems to be wrong.

In fact, Wang Xuling was telling the old emperor in a disguised form that the old minister was not hungry, but he was extremely thirsty.

If it was before, the shrewd old emperor must have heard the connotation.

However, the old emperor is getting old and his hearing has seriously declined. He actually asked everyone: "Where did I say that?"

Yuzhu didn't pay much attention to it at first, after all, he was among the old guys, he interrupted easily, which was not in line with etiquette.

However, Yuzhu suddenly realized that everyone was looking at him.

Kang Mazi forgot the words, you look at me, what does this mean?
Oh, are you smart?Wouldn't I just pretend to be stupid?
Yu Zhu lowered his head on purpose, and simply ignored anyone, allowing the room to become cold.

However, the world is unpredictable, and the old emperor named Yuzhu again.

"Yu Zhu, where did I talk about?" The old emperor turned his head and stared at Yu Zhu.

This time, Yu Zhu fully understood why everyone was aiming at him.

"Hui Khan Ama, Suo'etu is actually my number one sinner in the Qing Dynasty." Yu Zhu knew very well in his heart that the old emperor hated Suo'etu very much.

According to Kang Mazi's understanding, if Suo'etu hadn't deliberately provoked their father-son relationship, why would he have abolished the prince twice?
After the crown prince was completely abolished, the status of the good sage Sun Hongxi became extremely embarrassing.

If he bypassed the many sons and made Hong Xi the grandson of the emperor, the stains on his birth would definitely be infinitely magnified.

Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for abolishing the father and establishing the son!
After being reminded by Yuzhu in time, the old emperor continued to curse Suo'etu.

After more than half an hour, the old emperor forgot his words again.

The veterans in the room looked at Yu Zhu together again.

Yuzhu still lowered his head, and made up his mind that as long as the old emperor didn't ask him directly, he would keep pretending to be dumb.

This person, after getting older, his memory gets worse, which is actually an objective fact.

However, the old emperor's memory is poor, so whoever dares to clarify the matter, wait for the hammer.

The monarch and ministers are like father and son, which is the moral cornerstone of the imperial society.

Even if your father says something wrong, your subordinates must treat him submissively, and you must not directly denounce his mistakes.

Kang Mazi forgot his words one after another, and Yuzhu kept adding reminders.

Once the news is spread, hehe, it will definitely become this sentence: the above is deceived by Zhu.

Nima, do you want to play with the old emperor in the palm of your hand?

(PS: I only returned in the early morning, even later, sorry.)
