Chapter 635 The situation changes drastically
The old emperor suddenly summoned Lao Ba.
Yuzhu sat steadily in the pay room outside Qingxi Bookstore, drinking tea slowly.
The eighth old man who was originally in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was taken down by the old emperor and replaced by the sixteenth old man.
The sixteenth brother has no jue until now and has been working hard, obviously wanting to earn a beef or a beef.
After Lao Ba was idle for two years, the old emperor summoned him. According to Yuzhu's speculation, I'm afraid that Lao Ba will be re-activated?
Sure enough, after chatting with Lao Ba for more than an hour, the old emperor called Yuzhu in.
"Yuzhu, I have drawn up an order, and I will go to Shengjing to worship my ancestor tomb for me." The old emperor glanced at Yuzhu and said, "You have not sacrificed to my Qing Dynasty ancestral tomb yet?"
How clever is Yuzhu? He knew at the moment he heard that the old emperor was planning to let him monitor Lao Ba nearby, so as not to hook up with the old princes of the Eight Banners in Shengjing.
"Rejoice Ahma, I have long wanted to go to Shengjing and worship my ancestors of the Qing Dynasty." Yuzhu honestly expressed his wish.
As expected, the old emperor immediately smiled and ordered: "Take more guards and escort Lao Ba to Shengjing. Be sure to protect it and do not make any mistakes."
“Wait.”
Shengjing, also known as Fengtian Prefecture, is today's Shenyang City.
Before the Qing army entered the pass, there were two imperial tombs of the Later Jin Dynasty in Shengjing.
Among them, the old slave of Taizu of the Qing Dynasty was buried in Fuling, and the Emperor Taizong of Taizu of the Qing Dynasty was buried in Zhaoling.
In addition, the Qing Dynasty still had a complete imperial palace in Shengjing.
The Forbidden City in Fengtian Prefecture is officially named Shengjing Palace, also known as the Paidu Palace.
The Shengjing Imperial Palace can be divided into three parts according to the architectural layout and construction order, namely East Road, Middle Road and West Road.
The East Road includes the Grand Zheng Hall and the Ten Kings Pavilion built during the Laonu period, and is the place where the emperor held a ceremony and the office of the Eight Banners ministers.
The middle road was continued during the Huang Taiji period and was a place where the emperor carried out political activities and the residence of his concubines.
The West Road was a temporary residence where the old emperor visited Shengjing in the east, read books, watch operas and summoned officials.
Since the second deposed the crown prince, the old emperor has never summoned the eighth brother alone.
Now, the old emperor suddenly arranged for the eighth son to go to Shengjing to worship the sky, which obviously had the intention of appeaseing the old nobles of Manchu military merits.
There is no way. As the old emperor grew older, he gradually lost his energy in many things.
This is roughly similar to the situation of the old Tong family.
Tong Guowei, under the name of the emperor's uncle, was offered high by Longkodo and Yuzhu.
However, within the old Tong family, what he said was no longer very effective.
The people below are not fools, they all know that sooner or later the Tong family will be the world of Longkodo and his son.
Openly and secretly, there are countless servants from the Tong family who defected to Yuzhu's command.
Due to lack of energy, the old emperor lost absolute control over the government day by day.
Even if the important officials around Kangxi dare not publicly support the prince, who in private dares not to bet on the sidelines in advance?
Because Zhou Quan kept staring at the movements of the fourth brother in secret, Zhang Tingyu's whereabouts of colluding with the fourth brother in private were exposed to Yuzhu's eyes.
Whether Zhang Tingyu was a civil servant or a Han man was insignificant.
However, due to the trust of the old emperor, Zhang Tingyu knew a lot of secrets in the palace.
What is more joke is that after the fourth brother took control of the overall situation in Changchun Garden, he took Zhang Tingyu back to the palace and searched for the imperial seal necessary for the will.
As a result, Zhang Tingyu led his men to search for him for six days before he found the vital jade seal in the well.
The capital city has always been under the control of the fourth brother. After having the jade seal, Zhang Tingyu took the pen and signed by Ma Qi, which was a qualified will.
However, Lao Ba and Lao Si Si were very unwilling to lose. They kept promulgating the will openly and secretly for six days, making a big fuss, and it was circulating among the people.
The fourth brother is also a wonderful person. In response to the foul sarcasm among the people, he actually compiled a wonderful book with the emperor's respect: "The Book of the Great Righteous Awakening".
As a result, after the book was released publicly, the reputation of the fourth brother not only did not improve, but instead became stinky.
Yuzhu, with the Jin Dynasty and decree given by the old emperor, mobilized 100 imperial guards and 500 new troops to escort Lao Ba to Shengjing.
The old emperor was very satisfied with the arrangement of Yuzhu.
Before leaving, the old emperor suddenly changed his homage and stuffed the third brother in again.
This arrangement is very interesting.
The third brother is a prince who has a headache.
Lao Ba, must have an idea.
Yuzhu is the old emperor again.
In this way, the domineering show of Landlord was officially staged.
The third brother had the highest title, and he was Prince Heshuocheng. He was naturally the official envoy for this trip.
Lao Ba and Yu Zhu naturally acted as deputy envoys.
On the day of departure, when the emperor passed away, the old emperor ordered: "This matter is very important, don't ignore it."
"Yeah." The three people led by the third brother respectfully agreed.
After coming out of Changchunyuan, the third brother was about to get on the sedan chair, but he saw that the car was full of Yuzhu's subordinates.
"Hmph." The third brother was very dissatisfied, but it was the old emperor's will to ask Yuzhu to lead troops to escort him, and he had no choice.
The third brother had no wings and had almost no threat to the old emperor.
The eighth brother is different.
Even though the old emperor attacked Lao Ba several times, a lot of fence-leaders in the Baye Party did disperse.
However, the core members of the Baye Party still remain unfair to Lao Ba.
According to Yuzhu's understanding, this belongs to Lao Ba's personal charm.
It is also very interesting to say. After the old emperor restored the crown prince, he originally thought that the crown prince's prestige was greatly damaged and he could not make any big fuss.
Who would have thought that the prince had some tricks and took advantage of the momentum of restoration to win over a large number of important officials of the court?
Moreover, after the prince was deposed once, he felt deeply painful of losing his military power.
After the return of the army, the prince was focused on the military power and recruited a group of powerful people with military power.
The old emperor felt deeply threatened by the prince and couldn't even sleep well, so he simply made an excuse to depose the prince again.
The struggle for power has always been a spiral and continuous rise until one side of the duel falls completely.
The prince was enclosed in Xian'an Palace, and the third brother had hope.
Lao Ba seemed to be suppressed very much, but his wings have never been truly cut off and his strength is still extremely strong.
After the third and the eighth brother got on the sedan chair separately, Yuzhu also got into his own carriage.
With the help of the Dutch East India Company, the chassis of the Yuzhu's carriage was equipped with a spiral spring.
Before springs are installed, sitting in a sedan chair is definitely much more comfortable than riding in a carriage.
With the spring, the Yuzhu's carriage was driving on the pothole road. Although it was still a bit bumpy, it was many times more comfortable than before.
Of course, Yuzhu is willing to ride in the carriage, mainly because the carriage is very spacious.
Qingwen, who accompanied her to Shengjing this time, can not only serve Yuzhu very comfortably, but also talk about private conversations together.
