lied to Kangxi

Chapter 213

After Yuzhu moved into Fuzhou West Lake, Chang Qing took the initiative to come over, trying to get close to him.

Because, before Yuzhu set off, he didn't dare to reveal the emperor's secret decree, so he didn't discuss it with Longkoduo.

Therefore, he knew nothing about Chang Qing's details.

In officialdom, anyone who does not know the faction must be cautious.

Yu Zhu only perfunctory with Chang Qing.

The beautiful maid sent by Chang Qing was confiscated.

Yu Zhu only accepted 500 taels of Chang Qingsai's banknote.

In the officialdom, according to the established practice, within 500 taels, it can be regarded as Cheng Yi, and the officials will not insist on this matter.

After all, poor speech officials also want to accept Bing Jing, Tan Jing and Cheng Yi.

For Cheng Yi, the cost of travel in the previous Ming Dynasty is also the cost of the journey today.

In this dynasty, when imperial envoys, academics, or foreign officials in the capital, when welcoming and sending off, it is actually an unspoken rule that the emperor knows and has tacitly accepted for a long time.

In the Yongzheng Dynasty, this bad habit was strictly prohibited.

However, Yongzheng also adopted the attitude of letting go of the past, accepting it if it was accepted before, and not allowed to accept it again in the future.

Changqing was originally under the banner of Manchuria, and news had already come from his family that Yuzhu would play chess with the emperor after lunch every day.

How can Chang Qing, who is a feudal official, not understand the rich connotations hidden in this?

Chang Qing wanted to make friends with Yu Zhu, but it was just to build a bridge for the future, to save a step for the next meeting, and he didn't expect any immediate return.

Yuzhu's time was actually very tight, after Jin Shirong and Li Siyi were escorted on the road, he boarded the boat again and headed straight for Guangzhou.

Seven days later, when the ship arrived in Guangzhou, Yu Zhu was invited into the tribute courtyard after announcing the purpose of the township examination on the official ship wharf.

The officials who were locked into the Tribute Court together with Yuzhu, besides the governor of Guangdong who was the supervising officer, there were also many fellow examiners, transcription officers, mifeng officials and so on.

According to the regulations of the Great Qing Huidian, the chief and deputy examiners of the rural examinations have their own independent courtyards in the Gongyuan.

Because Yuzhu is the imperial envoy of the third-ranked noble, he also enjoyed the treatment of entering the independent courtyard as the same as in previous years.

Zhang Tingyu is only the deputy chief examiner of the imperial envoy of the seventh rank, so he can only enter a private courtyard.

According to the old rules, the supervisor of the township examination should supervise the chief and deputy chief examiners nearby.Therefore, Fan Shichong, the current governor of Guangdong, lives in the Sijin detached courtyard next to Yuzhu.

Before coming to Guangdong, Yuzhu asked Long Kedo about the details of Guangdong officialdom.

According to Longkodo, this Governor Fan is the eldest grandson of Fan Wencheng, the founding hero, and his father is the former Zhejiang Governor Fan Chengmo.

During the San Francisco Rebellion, Fan Chengmo was beheaded by Geng Jingzhong because he refused to surrender, and died for the Qing Dynasty.

Fan Shichong's grandfather and father were both deadly loyal to the Qing Dynasty.According to the modern context, it is simply an unrepentant veteran family of traitors!
It is very different from another big traitor, Hong Chengchou's down-and-out later life. Among Fan Wencheng's many descendants, even the worst grandson, Fan Shiji, is also the second-rank servant of the official to the red top.

Yuzhu didn't know much about Fan Wencheng.

However, Prince Yu Duoduo, relying on his status as the owner of the red flag, snatched the beautiful wife of Aha Fan Wencheng under his flag, and occupied the lace incident for three months, Yuzhu still knew about it.

When his wife was robbed, Fan Wencheng not only endured it, but also reached a new level of endurance, which is really amazing!

After Huang Taiji learned of this, he was furious, and called Duoduo to reprimand him.

However, Huang Taiji's punishment measures are ridiculous.

Let Duoduo apologize to Fan Wencheng, send Fan Wencheng's wife back, fine him ten thousand taels of silver, and deprive Duoduo of one-third of Niulu.

After living in the Gongyuan, Yuzhu can only have contact with Zhang Tingyu, and the rest of the people can't have any contact.

Zhang Tingyu is also a guy who can sit still. He just visited Yuzhu once according to etiquette, and he never came again.

Yuzhu knew it well, and Zhang Tingyu's motto was just two words: be cautious and independent!
Shendu, no party!

In fact, Yuzhu also belongs to the Shendu type.It's just that, because Yuzhu has the advantage of the Manchurian banner people, he doesn't need to worry about the taboos of the old emperor, and can have close contacts with the marginalized princes such as the fifth, the seventh, and the twelfth.

If Zhang Tingyu doesn't come, is Yuzhu going to curry favor with him?

What are you kidding?

Yuzhu sat at the desk, thinking about the plan of inviting British craftsmen to help build the ship, but both of his legs were occupied.

Holding Xingrui on the left and Xingjiao on the right, Mr. Zhu, you are very happy!
Xingrui said with a smile: "Master, after you go out, you must lead the servants to go shopping in the street?"

Yuzhu smiled slightly, Xingrui is much prettier than Xingjiao, but her heart is far less than Xingjiao's.

This child is extremely talented, and with Yu Zhu's rich experience and means, she will almost be unable to hold her back.

Xingjiao rolled her eyes, put her hand around Yuzhu's neck, and said in a tired voice, "Master, I haven't used Bizitang for a long time."

Hearing this, Yuzhu couldn't help but secretly sighed, look, what is resourcefulness?
The one who is really powerful is neither Xingrui nor the cunning Xingjiao, but Xiuyun who is far away in the capital.

Xiuyun had already expected that after Yuzhu was locked into the tribute courtyard, she would definitely feel bored and panic.

If so, Yuzhu brought Frost to the south, and under the long-term love, Frost would probably want to sleep with him.

If it is said that Han Shuang is pregnant with the eldest son, it will be a big trouble.

The lesser of two evils!

Instead of taking advantage of Frost, it is better to give the opportunity to her own sisters, this is Xiuyun's vision!
Yuzhu is still young, only 17 years old, and the issue of heirs is not so urgent.

Gongyuan is not a vegetable garden gate, and has its own court rules.

In Yuzhu's courtyard, apart from Xingrui and Xingjiao, there are also Wu Jiang and Wu Sheng who live in the outer courtyard.

In addition, one more servant cannot be brought in.

Yuzhu hugged Xingjiao's willow waist, scented her fragrant cheeks fiercely, and then said with a smile: "If you have the ability to conceive the seed of the master, you will be rewarded."

Who would have thought, but Xingjiao twisted her small waist, and said with a thief smile: "The servant is lying to you, even if the servant does not want to drink Bizitang, Xingrui can't sit idly by."

Xingrui giggled, and scolded: "Go ahead and lie to the ghosts, you asked to drink on your own initiative, I never forced you."

Yuzhu couldn't help but smile dumbly, Xingjiao, this little vixen, actually said that on purpose.

Whether they were on a sea boat, in the West Lake of Fuzhou, or even locked in the tribute courtyard, the two beautiful maidservants would consciously drink a bowl of Bizi Tang afterwards.

Seeing the big from the small, one can imagine that Fucha Xiuyun treated Xingrui and Xingjiao really well.

Otherwise, the two beautiful maidservants secretly stopped drinking the Bizi Tang, and Yuzhu couldn't be so careful.

Between men and women, as long as they are alone for a long time, they will really fall in love!
Not to mention anything else, as long as this ghost girl Xingjiao is not busy, she dares to sit on Yuzhu's lap, smelling it here, scratching it there, not to mention being presumptuous.

Yuzhu is naturally happy to see her own woman pestering and acting like a baby.

Anyway, if you are idle, you are also idle, play with women, and when you get interested, just toss around a bit, which is not in vain for the name of the absurd young master!

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the township examination.

Based on Yuzhu's examination experience, within one day, it was his turn, as the main examiner, to officially appear on the stage until all the scholars who took the examination entered the Gongyuan and locked the courtyard.

So, in the morning, the sun was shining on her buttocks, and Yuzhu was still hugging Ermei, lying on the bed, not wanting to get up.

Zhang Tingyu, who is next door, got up early and was practicing calligraphy at the desk in front of the window.

Outside the window, Zhang Tingyu's two servants were huddling together, whispering.

"I said, Master Yu, are you still awake?"

"Yeah, it's like this every day, alas, I'm not afraid of people gossiping."

"Him? What is he afraid of? He is a favored minister. You can ask around, which is the main examiner of the township examination, who dares to bring a woman into the tribute court?"

"Is he really not afraid of being impeached by the officials?"

"Hey, you don't understand this, right? Since he dared to openly bring a woman to the tribute courtyard, he must not be afraid."

If it was before, Zhang Tingyu would have scolded him a long time ago.

However, after being locked up in the tribute courtyard for a long time, and there were no outsiders in the courtyard, Zhang Tingyu also found it interesting, so he acquiesced in the two young men's tongue-chewing.

In fact, Yu Zhu was woken up when the dragon gate was opened in the morning and the letter cannon rang.

However, since he wanted to pretend to be a dandy, he simply pretended to be some.

Yuzhu can guarantee that his every move in this tribute courtyard will be recorded to the old emperor with a secret booklet.

After lunch, Yuzhu hugged the second maid again and took a nice nap.

Until, above the Gongyuan, there was the sound of letter cannons and the calls of the guards, "Lock the dragon gate."

Yuzhu just got dressed and appeared in Mingyuan Building.

"Humble job, pay homage to Mr. Yu!" Yuzhu said with a smile while saluting to the examiners, "That's all."

The invigilators, those who read the examination papers, those who transcribed, and those who sealed the seal, all of them had already arrived, waiting for Yuzhu.

Fan Shichong, governor of Guangdong, suppressed his unhappiness, and bowed hands with Yuzhu perfunctorily.

Yuzhu pretended not to see the strange eyes of the officials, he took the lead and led everyone, first worshiped the imperial decree, and then worshiped Confucius.

Then, Yuzhu ordered someone to fetch a pen and paper, and wrote down the four test questions in front of everyone.

According to the usual practice, at the time of the township examination, the main examiner must answer at least three scripture questions.

However, Yuzhu broke the convention, and besides the three sutra questions, he came up with another current affairs policy theory.

There are three scripture questions, one is: don't worry about what others don't know; the other is: it is suitable for the people and people;

Among the people present, who is not a well-educated Confucian scholar?

After Zhang Tingyu got the three most important exam questions, he secretly admired them.Although Mr. Yu acted a little absurdly, he was also a Manchurian bannerman with real talents and learning.

The three examination questions are from "The Analects of Confucius Liren", "Poetry Taiga False Music" and "Mencius Li Louxia".

Yu Zhu didn't really care about these three so-called main exam questions, what he really valued was the most inconspicuous extra exam question.

Policy question: How to expand maritime trade with the West?
