Qing Dynasty Crossover

Chapter 66 Preparing to Enter the Palace
Ever since he listened to Qi Luo's suggestion, Ling Zhu was also a little undecided, not knowing what to do.Being on the cusp is certainly not what their family wants, but if their family does not get the emperor's attention, it is really easy for these ambitious princes to casually sacrifice them as cannon fodder.Just like the leader of the Eight Banners Zhenglan Banner, who was rewarded by the emperor for his meritorious service in the military parade, was suppressed by the prince as a punching bag because he took refuge in the eighth elder brother. Ling Zhu didn't want to be like this unlucky ghost.Ling Zhu explained his thoughts to Yu, hoping that he could give him some good advice.

Yu Duo knew that Ling Zhu was an honest and responsible person, but he didn't know why Ling Zhu was eager to promote his title. If he wanted to gain power, he should want to be promoted and have real power!Ling Zhu's official position is just empty right now, but Ling Zhu is very satisfied with it, I really don't understand what he thinks.But no matter what, as an aide, you should still do your best.Yu Duo weighed it carefully and said, "My lord's idea is very good, and it will definitely win the favor of the emperor. My lord's concerns are also very reasonable, but Yu Duo thinks that the position of the crown prince is still very stable now. Some ambitions, but the emperor still firmly supports the prince in his heart, that's why the prince was able to run the assistant leader who took refuge in the eighth elder brother. What the emperor values ​​is loyalty, especially for the leading generals. Loyalty to the emperor is the most important thing, the emperor Might as well use the crown prince's hand to give the ministers a piece of advice, asking them not to act rashly."

Ling Zhu nodded understandingly and said, "Then what do you think I should do? I will never join the princes."

Yu Duo looked at the resolute Ling Zhu and said, "Your Excellency, you can rest assured that Yu Duo can think so. The emperor has many adult princes, and each of them is capable and ambitious. Besides, the Qing Dynasty implemented the establishment of a reserve system and the Ming Dynasty There is an essential difference, these adult princes can participate in political affairs, and see their teeth, which increases the ambitions of the princes. The most important thing is that the princes have not shown amazing abilities. There is only one noble person, so These adult princes will not be convinced. The emperor is in his prime; the dragon body is Kangtai, and the current emperor is another generation of British lords. He must be familiar with history books and use history as a mirror. The delicate balance formed by the elder brother and the prince stabilizes the imperial power. Therefore, the emperor will never deal with the prince easily unless the prince disappoints him. Although the eighth elder brother is very popular and powerful now, Yu Duo thinks that the eighth elder brother is not Hopefully, too much power will only make the emperor feel worried and afraid, brothers can have ambitions but they can only fight within the range that the emperor can control, if they exceed this range, the emperor will definitely cut off their power with his own hands."

The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. Yu Duo's analysis made Ling Zhu, who knew the general trend of history, admire him even more, and was even more fortunate to have him as his staff.Although I know the history, how can I analyze it thoroughly?Some things that were vague before seem to be much clearer all of a sudden.Ling Zhu couldn't help sighing, "Ling Zhu is really lucky to have Mr.'s help! I have a bold and informal personality, and I don't think about things thoroughly like Mr. Sir, what should Ling Zhu do this time?"

Yu Duo said modestly, "These are what I should do. Your Excellency's thoughts and ideas are what amazed Yu Duo? This time, your Excellency's gift to the palace should be done according to your idea. Your Excellency's idea will definitely be done." It will be very beneficial to your future official career if you get a full house. The current emperor will pay more attention to supporting you, and brothers will pay more attention to your talents, so as to ensure that you will not be easily sacrificed. You must now He has just passed his thirties and still has a long official career, no matter which prince wins in the end, he will definitely need someone as loyal and talented to the imperial power as your lord, after all, the emperor also needs people below him to handle affairs."

Ling Zhu couldn't help blushing when he heard Yu Duo's praise, after all Ling Zhu still felt very embarrassed about stealing other people's wisdom.If Qi Luo knew his father's thoughts, he would comfort him and say that he would get used to this kind of thing after doing it. This is the benefit of time travelers.Ling Zhu shook his head with a smile and said, "Then what to do, I will arrange it."

"Your Excellency, don't worry too much. Presenting gifts is a matter of novelty. I guess officials who enter the palace to present gifts will rack their brains and try to come up with new and surprising ideas. Your Excellency is famous for coming up with novel ideas, so if your Excellency really If you make an ordinary thing, it will attract more people's ideas. But the gift of adults should be kept secret, it will not be very good if it is learned by some people."

Ling Zhu nodded and said, "I see, I will definitely pay attention to it. I will find someone I can trust to handle it. I understand the importance of keeping secrets."

"I'm relieved now, Yu Duo is here to wish you success!" Yu Duo said happily.

Since Ling Zhu discussed with Yu Duo and made the final decision, he has been busy. After all, this gift is still very troublesome and requires a lot of information.After these prefaces were completed, Ling Zhu asked Butler Qin to find someone to do it secretly.

Although Qi Luo was worried that her father would be cocky because of the success of the military parade, she thought that Yu Duo, who was wise, prudent and proficient in ancient human relationships, was by her father's side, so she believed in her father very much.What's more, if something goes wrong, it will be high-profile at most, and it will not have a big impact on the safety of their family.Qi Luo still believes that his father can deal with this matter very well. After all, Ling Zhu is different from him, and he still wants to make some achievements, hoping to leave some traces in history.

Since it is necessary to enter the palace as a gift, Mrs. Dong still attaches great importance to it.Mrs. Dong specially ordered someone to find some better garment masters in the capital to cut new clothes for herself and Qi Luo.Although Qi Luo's clothes and jewelry have been very beautiful since their family got rich, but Mrs. Dong thinks it's better to make new clothes from scratch, after all, that kind of occasion is more solemn and luxurious.

When dissuasion was ineffective, Qi Luo could only bear it.It's just that she asked the garment maker to make her clothes not to be too conspicuous, but to be fresh and elegant.

While measuring Qi Luo's clothes, the tailor praised Dong, "A girl with such an elegant temperament will certainly be suitable for elegant and chic clothes. I have also tailored clothes for many girls from noble families, and I have never seen such a girl who not only Her temperament is excellent, and her appearance is also very good, I will definitely do my best to make the girl more outstanding and noble."

Dong was very happy to hear the tailor praised her daughter so much. Although she knew in her heart that what these people said might not be true, she couldn't help smiling. In her mind, Qi Luo was the most beautiful and the best. daughter.Seeing the proud Dong Shi, Qi Luo shook his head and said, "You really praised me, and I'm just an ordinary person. I can't afford your praise. The girls from other relatives must be outstanding. I can't compare."

The tailor smacked his lips and said, "The girl is really modest. I won't tell lies. The girl can't help but look good and have a good temperament. She will marry well in the future. Looking at the girl's appearance, she is a lucky woman." .”

The tailoring skills may be good, but there are too many words. Qi Luo felt a little annoyed, so he urged, "How long is it? I still have something to finish?"

"It's about to be over, it's about to be over, girl, don't worry about the inappropriate clothes, but it will be uncomfortable to wear."

After waiting for a while, the tailor was finally finished. Mrs. Dong looked at the tailor who was about to call it a day and said, "The material of this dress must be good for us, and the embroidery pattern must be high-quality, otherwise I won't do it."

The tailor nodded repeatedly and said, "Madam, don't worry, we specialize in high-quality goods, and our reputation is very good. If you are not satisfied with the finished product, we will not charge you."

Dong thought about it and said, "You should just make sure we are satisfied, so as to save us from wasting time in the future. Our family is not short of money, so you should be careful and serious."

"Okay, ma'am, please rest assured that we will definitely meet the requirements, and we will not miss your business." The tailor promised.Mrs. Dong nodded in satisfaction, and ordered Madam Zhao to give the set money and reward first.

The tailor came over with a smile, weighed it, smiled even more happily, and said a little flatteringly, "My wife is generous, don't worry, I will let the girl make a dress when I go back, and I must let the girl fall in love with you." Qunfang."

Mrs. Dong ordered Mother Zhao to send the tailor out of the house. Seeing that the source of the noise had finally left, Qi Luo couldn't help letting out a long breath. Won't do anything bad.Qi Luo sat down tiredly and gulped water, really tormented.After a while, Qi Luo said resolutely, "Emiang, I will definitely not let her come again in the future. She is so eloquent. None of what she said is practical. I don't believe what she said."

"This is from a famous clothing workshop in the capital. Although they talk a lot, their craftsmanship is excellent. Besides, I think it's good to hear her praise you. I like it very much?" Mrs. Dong Looking at Qi Luo's frustrated face, he smiled and said

Qi Luo couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Emiang, I didn't realize that you had such a hobby before! There's no truth in what they said, they just want to reward money."

Mrs. Dong stroked Qi Luo's head and said, "You don't understand. Someone who praises their daughter as a mother will be very happy. Whose parents don't want their children to be outstanding? I think my daughter is indeed very beautiful and outstanding." , so what she said may not necessarily be a lie." Qi Luo leaned towards Mrs. Dong without saying a word, forget it, as long as her mother is happy.

I am on a business trip, the update time is uncertain, please understand.
