lied to Kangxi

Chapter 278 Destined to be an enemy
Lao Ba and Lao Si are neighbors, and they both live opposite the Confucian Temple and Guozijian, next to the Bolin Temple.

The two mansions are both Baylor Mansions, and their shapes are exactly the same.

It is impossible for the gates of the two Baylor mansions to have the number plates of the old eight mansion or the old four mansion.People who are not familiar with the situation can easily get confused.

When Yuzhu led people to the gate of Lao Ba's mansion, Lao Ba was already kneeling in front of the gate.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month of this year, the eighth child finally had a son.Lao Ba's concubine, Zhang, gave birth to his only son Hongwang.

According to the rules of banner people, after Hongwang was born, he was one year old.

After Yuzhu was welcomed into the main hall of Baylor Mansion, she stood upright with her back to the incense table.

"My son, Yinhu, respectfully greet Khan Ama." Yinhu didn't know the purpose of Yuzhu's visit, so he had to suppress the panic in his heart, and knelt down to pay his respects.

"Sheng Gongan!" Yuzhu shouted in a deep voice, "The eighth prince Yinhu accepts the order."

Prior to this, Yinhu had been deprived of Baylor's title and became an empty-headed elder brother, who could only be called the eighth son.

Seeing that Yu Zhu had already held up the Huang Cancan's imperial edict, Yinhu bowed down and touched her head, waiting for Yu Zhu to issue the decree.

"The cabinet issued an edict...the emperor's eighth son, Yinhu, will be restored to Baylor. I respect this." Yuzhu read Manchu first, and then Chinese.

Yinhu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and obediently accepted the order.

Last time, the old emperor drew his sword and wanted to kill him. If Yu Zhu hadn't risked his life to stop him, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

After Yuzhu issued the decree, Yinhu accompanied him with a smiling face, and welcomed him into the Dongnei study room dedicated to entertaining guests.

The bookshelves in Dongnei's study room were originally filled with various ancient books.

After the old eighth was dismissed from Baylor's title, he became a short brother.According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, he had to move out of this Baylor mansion.

Therefore, when Yuzhu walked into the inner study room, most of the ancient books on the shelf had already been filled with cages.

After the guests and hosts were seated, the old eighth smiled and ordered, "Come here, Shang Yuzhu's favorite drink, Biluochun. Let the people in the tea room remember that it can't be brewed for too long, half an hour at most."

When Yuzhu heard it, Lao Ba had mastered so many details. It seemed that he had studied him a lot.

Soon, two maidservants came with tea trays.

Yuzhu pretended to be nonchalant, and secretly looked at the looks of the two maidservants.

Hey, the looks of the two maidservants are really ordinary.

These two maidservants, not to mention Xingrui and Xingjiao, even compared to Hongmei, alas, they are at least eighteen blocks away.

It can be seen from this that the legendary Bafu Jin is jealous and cannot tolerate a beautiful woman by Lao Ba's side.

The old eighth is also an old Jianghu, since he has been restored to the position of Baylor, it means that Kangxi will not poison him for the time being.

"Qingqing, this is the first time for you to come to my house, isn't it?" Lao Ba took the lead in holding up the teacup, signaling Yuzhu to also taste the Biluochun specially given by the palace.

Yuzhu bowed, and said with a smile: "Yes, I've heard for a long time that your residence, Lord Babeile, is unusually unique and very livable. When I saw it today, it really is extraordinary."

He was obedient without money, and Yuzhu poured it on Lao Ba without hesitation.

After Lao Ba suffered a huge setback, his mentality was completely different from before.

"Well, a beautiful house is something outside of the body, so it's not worth mentioning." Lao Ba sighed softly, he no longer likes beautiful things.

After experiencing the ups and downs of the abolished prince and the danger of being almost stabbed, Lao Ba quickly matured, and no longer pursued pathologically, those absolutely beautiful things.

"Bang." From the back of the inner study, there was suddenly the crisp sound of porcelain colliding.

Yuzhu didn't need to think about it, he knew that it must be Lao Jiu and the others who were hiding behind and eavesdropping.

Objectively speaking, Kuanren's eighth child is quite likable.

It's just that the ninth, tenth, fourteenth, and nearly a hundred Manchu relatives gathered around the eighth, which is very bad.

In the past, Yuzhu also thought about it carefully, so what if he simply supports Lao Ba?
After careful consideration, Yuzhu could only regretfully deny this idea.

With Lao Ba, what future does Yuzhu have?
It is impossible for Yuzhu to be closer to Lao Jiu and the others, nor to be more powerful than the relatives of Manchuria. After Lao Ba ascends to the throne, it is almost impossible for Yuzhu to gain any real power.

To put it bluntly, if you support the fourth child, with the fourth child's personality of being cold on the outside and hot on the inside, Yuzhu will definitely get a lot of things.

It is impossible for Kangxi to appoint Lao Ba as the prince. There are two root problems: first, Kangxi wants to weaken the power of Manchu relatives and nobles, and Lao Ba is surrounded by Manchu relatives and nobles; second, Lao Ba is too powerful , making him the crown prince, is it possible for Kangxi to sleep peacefully?

Yu Zhu pretended not to hear the movement behind the inner study, he picked up the teacup and lid, skimmed off the powder floating on the surface, and took a small sip.

Well, it's brewed well, just to taste.

Leaving aside his insensitivity in the overall situation and poor handwriting, Lao Ba is actually an all-rounder.

"Qingqing, it's your first time to come to my house, why don't you go to the back garden, enjoy the scenery and drink tea, and listen to the music at the same time?" Lao Ba's words are so beautiful that it is impossible to refuse.

Yuzhu secretly sighed in his heart, in the next ten years, especially after the second abolished prince, Kangxi has been fighting against the Baye Party.

The issue of strategic positioning is decided. No matter how good the old eight is, Yuzhu can only choose to support Kangxi and be the enemy of the old eight.

Lao Ba's invitation seems ordinary, but it is actually a test of Yuzhu's true position.

If Yu Zhu readily agrees, Lao Ba will try every means to win him into the gang.

On the contrary, it is the enemy.

In matters of politics, how can there be so many walls to ride?

Yuzhu smiled slightly, clasped his hands together and said, "To tell the truth, Ba Ye, you said that the officials have to go back to the palace to hand over the order, so I don't want to bother you."

Lao Ba's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled more cordially, and said gently: "It's okay, come and sit down when you have time, let's drink tea and chat, how about it?"

Yuzhu sighed again, although Zhilan is kind, she is destined to be an enemy, so what can she do?

When he was about to leave, the housekeeper of Ba Ye's mansion secretly stuffed a bank note into Yu Zhu.

As usual, the imperial envoy who delivered the decree had to charge the fare, and Yuzhu didn't want to break the rules, so he accepted it calmly.

After returning to the palace and handing in the decree, Yu Zhu took out the bank note from his sleeve and took a look at it calmly when he returned home in the carriage.

Good guy, it turned out to be a silver note of one thousand taels, Lao Ba is really willing to part with it.

Almost in an instant, Yu Zhu understood why the old eight relied on the old nine so much.

As the saying goes, money can make a ghost run the mill.

Behind Lao Ba stands Lao Jiu, the God of Wealth, how many Manchu relatives and nobles can he secretly buy?
After returning home, Yu Zhu went to his son's house.

After hugging his son from the nurse's hand, Yu Zhu couldn't bear to let go.

Yuzhu didn't even change his official uniform. Xiuyun couldn't stand it anymore, and complained to the man: "Master, what the Han people pay attention to is that they hold grandchildren but not children. Look at you, you will not let go if you hold our elder brother, isn't it? Isn't that breaking the rules?"

Yuzhu didn't bother to care about so much, hugged his son, kissed him hard, and said with a smile: "Those scholars are just stinky, don't pay attention to them."

After playing with his son enough, Yuzhu changed into casual clothes and led Xiuyun to greet Li Si'er.

After Li Si'er became pregnant again, she readily handed over the power of housekeeping to Xiuyun.

Long Mansion has a big family and a great business. There are more than 200 servants working in the mansion alone.

Moreover, in the alley at the back door of Long Mansion, a long row of green brick and tile courtyards is full of family members of the servants.

According to the rules of the Long Mansion, Li Si'er used to have the final say on the errands of the servants in the mansion.

Now that Xiuyun is in charge, some clever servants have begun to fawn on her enthusiastically.

Li Si'er handed over the power of housekeeper so happily. The main reason is that not only did Yu Zhu grab a lot of things from Yakutsk, but they all gave Li Si'er.

With his son being so caring, Li Si'er didn't bother to torment Xiuyun, so what's the point?
To put it bluntly, before Yuzhu got married, what Li Si'er was most afraid of was that Yuzhu would only listen to Xiuyun's bewitching from now on, and would never take her mother-in-law to heart.

Now, Li Si'er also understands that Yuzhu really has feelings for her.

Many of the good things that Yuzhu snatched from the outside went into Li Si'er's private treasury instead of being in charge of Xiuyun, so why is Li Si'er dissatisfied?

After saluting Li Si'er, Li Si'er said with a smile: "Your younger brother seems to have moved a little bit just now, hey, I'm so flustered."

Yu Zhu sat beside Li Si'er's kang, carefully tucked the quilt for her, and asked her with a smile: "Ene, how do you know that you are pregnant with my younger brother?"

Li Si'er smiled triumphantly, and said: "Madam Liu invited Miao Xue, a female monk from Tongjiao Temple, and she said that she must be a little elder brother."

Yuzhu was speechless for a while, Li Si'er did give birth to a son, and Longkodo named it 89.

However, 89 was not blessed and died early.

Where is Tongjiao Temple?Yuzhu is very clear.However, since Li Si'er believed them, Yuzhu let her go.

But, on them, spend more incense money.

Besides, based on Yuzhu's understanding of Li Si'er, even if she doesn't believe in Miao Xue, she will believe in other Xue.

In front of Li Si'er, Yuzhu called Nanny Liu, and said carefully: "Mama Liu, you are also an old man beside the old lady, don't let the old lady lie down all the time, stare at at least walk every day. Three thousand steps, in case my younger brother becomes too big to deal with in the future."

Yuzhu was embarrassed to mention the word dystocia, but Mammy Liu's heart shuddered.

Nanny Liu hurriedly bowed her knees and saluted, and said respectfully: "Second Master, don't worry, this old slave will definitely take good care of this old lady. If anything goes wrong, you can blame this old slave."

In this Long Mansion, Yuzhu's voice and influence are expanding day by day.

How dare Madam Liu not listen to Yuzhu's order?
Hearing that Nanny Liu had guaranteed the ticket, Yu Zhu couldn't help but smile dumbly. Even if Nanny Liu didn't say anything, once something happened to Li Si'er's dystocia, Long Kedo would not be able to spare her lightly.

On the second day, when Yumen was listening to the government, Kangxi made a public announcement: After the Spring Festival of the Bannerman, he will consider the matter of establishing a reserve.
