As early as when Yunxiu mentioned that Tu Yue was about to take up a post as an official in Beijing, Yinzhen's little ears had already pricked up.
He lay on his back on the brocade quilt, with his head and feet touching those of the Tenth Prince. Hearing the words, he let out a cry, kicked his legs, and his eyelids gradually widened.
Tu Yue's uncle, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?
Is this Mingzhu’s recommendation?
Yinzhen found it ridiculous. This had never happened in his previous life!
As far as he could remember, when he was a teenager, Uncle Tu Yue was still staying in Shengjing. He gradually rose from an inspector to a provincial governor, and then was sent out for a few years. He was about to be promoted to governor of a province. The network of relationships he had built up over the years should not be underestimated.
My uncle is an open-minded person, and he is very good at being an official. He has also inherited the true teachings of Guo Luomafa. His outstanding political achievements rely on real ability, and the protection of his family is just the icing on the cake.
Moreover, Guo Luomafa Sanguan Baojian was in the emperor's favor, and everything was going according to plan. Uncle Tu Yue was the next pillar of the family, and it would not be difficult for him to be promoted to a central official in the court.
However, because he resolutely helped my uncle win the throne and dragged his maternal family into the trouble, while his uncle's official rank climbed steadily, his career gradually became difficult.
Although my uncle enjoyed a period of glory when the Eighth Wise King was in power, the Guo Luoluo family gradually lost the trust of the old man, like a collapsing building, without the emperor's favor or military power, and eventually fell into silence.
At the grand court meeting that year, the old man personally crushed Bage's ambition. Afterwards, Tong Guowei and Ma Qi, who supported Bage, did not get anything good, let alone Guo Luoluo?
Guo Luomafa ended up with a disgraced reputation in his later years, and his uncle was forced to retire.
If there is a regret that has been buried for a long time, this is one of them.
Even when Yinzhen was imprisoned and seriously ill, he was still thinking about his maternal family. Whenever he thought of them, he sighed deeply. He was sorry for his mother and had implicated Guo Luomafa and his uncle Tuyue.
As early as when he was reborn, Yinzhen secretly made up his mind that he would never repeat the same mistakes in this life. He would help Guo Luoluo avoid the disaster of the fight for the throne and protect his elders to live a smooth life.
But what did he hear now?
Tu Yue is coming to Beijing
Mingzhu wanted to promote his uncle to the position of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Jiu Ye was shocked. If he remembered correctly, Ming Zhongtang at that time also served as the Minister of Personnel.
Then he cursed in his heart, Mingzhu is so shameless, she can even do such a thing of forced buying and selling!
The consequences that Yun Xiu could foresee, Jiu Ye could naturally foresee as well.
Before he had time to worry, he heard his mother and the imperial concubine talking to each other in a gentle and vengeful manner.
Not to mention how this matter involves Concubine Liang and the Eighth Prince, the chill in the words of the two ladies is enough to make people mourn for Concubine Hui and Concubine Wu.
The Ninth Prince shuddered slightly. No matter who you are, you should never mess with a woman, especially your mother, whose temperament is very different from that of her previous life.
The Tenth Prince did not tremble.
He silently turned his head to look at Ninth Brother, a hint of contempt flashed across his little eyes, and then he shrank his neck, grinned obediently, and coquettishly acted towards the Imperial Concubine: "Aiya"
Concubine Liang lived in a side hall of the Yanx Palace. She never went out of the house on weekdays and had no ambition to compete for favor. Her only concern was the Eighth Prince Yinsi, who was being raised by Concubine Hui.
However, due to the strict rules set by Concubine Hui, she and Yinsi seldom met each other. Only occasionally when Concubine Hui was in a good mood could she have the privilege of spending a day with her son.
Concubine Liang was gentle and kind-hearted. She was satisfied just to see Yinsi. Even though she was neglected and despised by servants, her allowance was secretly deducted, and her life was hard, she never complained.
Concubine Hui hated her for wasting such beauty that could rival Concubine Yi's. While she hated her for not fighting for it, she also felt relieved.
There were four or five ladies living in the Yanx Palace, but only Concubine Liang embroidered clothes, shoes and hats for her son all day long. She visited him every morning and evening and never neglected her duty. She was quiet and never made trouble. As time went by, Concubine Hui gradually gave up the idea of using her to consolidate her favor and began to like her more.
Compared with Concubine Yi, who was spoiled and overbearing, Concubine Liang was nothing.
In order to hold the fifth princess's full-month ceremony successfully, Concubine Hui looked nervous, fearing that there would be anything inappropriate.
After the full-moon ceremony, she breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to deal with such a hot potato. Then, with a sullen face, she had Moyaqi sent back to Yonghe Palace.
Wupin's threat was like a thorn in her throat, but the most important thing now was to win over the Guo Luoluo clan.
The tactic of removing the fuel from under the cauldron to promote Tu Yue was, after all, Uya's idea.
In view of this, she will let Uya go for now, and will deal with her later when she has time!
As early as a month ago, Concubine Hui had thought about it for a long time and carefully wrote a long letter, which she asked someone to give to her cousin Mingzhu outside the palace.
After delivering the message, she waited anxiously in the Yanx Palace. Even when the eldest prince came to pay his respects, she waved her hand perfunctorily and told Yinzhi to go back to his residence on his own and not to indulge in riding and shooting and neglect his studies.
Yinzhi curled his lips, came up to her with a smile and asked, "Mother, what have you been busy with recently?
I don’t care as much about my son as before.”
Hearing this, Concubine Hui rolled her eyes at him, but after Yinzhi made a few jokes, she felt much more relieved.
She smiled and said softly, "Why else? I am doing this for my son.
Mingzhu is here to handle the affairs of the court. When you go to court to participate in government affairs, mother will tell you clearly. "
Yinzhi would be thirteen after the Chinese New Year, which was old enough for the Manchus to discuss marriage and not far from attending court and participating in government affairs.
Just as Soetu often asked to see the prince, Mingzhu would also analyze the affairs of the court for him.
Hearing this, he thought for a moment, then put away his playful smile, became serious, and bowed: "All at your discretion!
My son will go to school now, and he will definitely live up to the expectations of my mother and uncle." The prince could no longer be proud.
I don't know what's wrong with Yinreng recently. Every time he uses riding and shooting to make sarcastic remarks, it's like hitting a ball of cotton and in the end he gets himself angry.
Once he gets first place in his studies, he'll see if that annoying smile will ruin his reputation!
Concubine Hui looked at his departing back with relief, and the anxiety in her heart was slightly relieved.
That night, Ying'er came in a hurry with a smile on her face and reported: "My queen, Master Mingzhu has replied."
Concubine Hui stood up suddenly and said, "Hurry up and show it to me."
When she opened the letter, her hands trembled slightly. After unfolding the paper and taking a quick look, Concubine Hui breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "Great, that's great."
Mingzhu said that his memorial was placed on the desk in the imperial study, waiting for the emperor's review.
It would be best if the emperor approved it, but if he doesn’t, they won’t lose anything.
Everything is done for the world to see!
As long as outsiders believe that the Nara clan and the Guoluo clan have joined forces, Sanguanbao will never be able to stay out of it.
Concubine Hui closed the letter with a happy face, raised her eyes and looked towards the direction of Yikun Palace, squinted her eyes and said: "I have been in the palace for so many years, and I don't often interact with Concubine Yi, for fear that our feelings have faded.
Ying'er, prepare some good gifts, and in a couple of days, we will go and chat with her about the past."
"Yes," Ying'er bowed with a smile, "I obey your command."
Concubine Hui smiled and said, "When the noble lady came to pay her respects yesterday, she looked so eager, so let Yinsi stay with her for a day.
I am merciful and have allowed her to avoid coming to express her gratitude."
After submitting the memorial that day, Mingzhu returned home calmly, waiting for the Emperor to summon him.
But the next day, after the morning court session, Kangxi did not summon him, but summoned the Minister of Revenue Hang Ai to meet him, and kept Hang Ai for lunch. The emperor and his ministers discussed the matter for a long time.
Like Mingzhu, who was the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace, the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince and the Minister of Personnel, Suo Etu was also a member of the Ministry of Revenue. At the beginning of the year, Suo Etu personally submitted a memorial and bluntly resigned from the post of the Ministry of Revenue. Kangxi then appointed Hang Ai as the Minister of Revenue and gave Suo Etu the title of Minister of State Affairs.
To be precise, Hang Ai was Soetu's man.
Upon hearing that the emperor summoned Hang Ai, Mingzhu remained calm and not disappointed.
Every winter, cold waves and heavy snow are natural disasters that the imperial court needs to guard against. The Ministry of Revenue has to allocate disaster relief money and supplies early to prevent the capital from being unable to respond in time when disaster strikes elsewhere.
During the court meeting, His Majesty had already pointed out the matter of disaster relief. Now he has summoned the Minister of Revenue to discuss the matter. I think he has some important instructions for him.
Mingzhu stroked his beard and pondered for a moment. He thought that Soetu should not be complacent for too long and that he should replace his own people in the Ministry of Revenue.
When it was almost time to leave the government office, he waited in the cabinet office for a long time, but still was not summoned. Mingzhu frowned, realizing something was wrong.
When the cabinet presented it, he deliberately put the memorial recommending Tu Yue at the top, which was not right.
At the same time, Yikun Palace.
Kangxi took the teacup handed over by Yunxiu and said with emotion: "The Three Officials have a good way of educating their children."
The heat blurred his face, and Yunxiu couldn't tell whether the emperor was happy or angry.
This was a random remark that made her heart tremble. She forced herself to smile calmly and asked, "Why did the emperor suddenly mention my father?"
After saying that, she lowered her eyes to hide her thoughtful mood.
The emperor must have seen Mingzhu's memorial.
I just don’t know if Soetu received the message, whether he agrees with her method, and whether there is any mistake in the arrangement?
The most important thing to save all this is time!
The time was too short, so she made the arrangements hastily and was actually unsure of herself.
It is said that the heart of a saint is hard to predict. Even if she could guess 80% of it, it was just emotion.
She had a hunch that the emperor liked her, but who could predict what happened in the past and what the emperor was thinking?
She wanted to use this to get out of trouble, but if she offended the emperor,
Yun Xiu glanced at Liang Jiugong and saw him shake his head slightly, then looked away.
Yes, the emperor rarely keeps people around when he is discussing matters, so Liang Jiugong must be unaware of this.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and thought, well, it all depends on whether God loves her enough.
Kangxi gently put down the teacup and looked deeply at Yunxiu: "I have always thought that your father is loyal, but I didn't expect that you are also outstanding in teaching your children."
Facing Yun Xiu's surprised gaze, he took her hand and said with a low laugh, "She taught me the Concubine Yi, who I love, and the Concubine Le. The Concubine Le is gentle and demure, and her character is first-class."
Why did he start praising her again, even praising Yun Shu?
"And he also taught a good talent like Tu Yue!" Kangxi continued to talk to himself, his tone gratified, "Not only the Ministry of Personnel asked me for people, but also the Ministry of Revenue.
Listening to Mingzhu and Hangai's recommendations, one said that he was honest and modest, and must be the left vice minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the other said that he had made great contributions in overall planning and should be in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. I was filled with urgency. This was the first time I had seen such a strange thing. "
The emperor laughed loudly: "Your brother Tu Yue is really a talented person!"
The author has something to say: Tu Yue who is far away in the sky:? ?
