lied to Kangxi

Chapter 778 Tong Banchao's Strength
Yu Zhu was drinking tea in the inner study when he suddenly heard Wu Jiang's report coming from the door.

"Master Hui, the imperial envoy arrived at the door and said that the old lady and you are invited to receive the order together."

Yuzhu was a little strange, he just came back from Changchun Garden, why didn't he hear the old emperor mention it?

Now that the imperial decree had arrived at the gate, Yuzhu had no choice but to change into court clothes, and accompanied Longkodo to greet him out of the gate.

Zhang Hongxu was surrounded into the main room, turned around and stood in front of the incense table, facing the door, and said in a loud voice: "There is an edict, Longkodo and Yuzhu will accept the order."

Longkodo and Yuzhu hurriedly knelt down to receive the order.

"Shangyu, imperial concubine Tong Jia, who came from a famous family...Xu Gui went home to visit relatives, and stayed for a few days, hereby!"

Long Kedo listened carefully, hey, this is a great joy, he hurriedly said: "Slave Long Kedo, thank you for your gratitude."

"Your servant, Yuzhu, take the decree to thank you."

After Longkodo took over the decree, Zhang Hongxu finished his errands, and quickly bowed down, with a smile on his face, and explained to Yuzhu: "To tell you the truth, the empress of Jingren Palace was very attentive when she was serving meals, and she won the favor. Shangyi. As soon as the Long Live Lord was happy, he promised the empress to go home to visit her relatives."

Yu Zhu nodded, thinking about the matter of Jia's family planning to build a family home in Dream of the Red Chamber, so she asked Zhang Hongxu, "Lao Zhang, is there a regulation in the palace for your mother's family visit?"

Zhang Hongxu bowed his waist and said: "Back to Xiangguo, before the villain came out, the empress gave special orders to tell the villain to tell Xiangguo and Lord Long, don't be too extravagant and wasteful."

Long Kedo glared and said loudly: "Your Majesty has been away from home for so long, and it's the first time for her to come home to visit her relatives. Even if it costs her money, I'm happy. Yuzhu, don't you think so?"

Yu Zhu nodded with a smile, and said, "Ama is absolutely right. It is the highest honor for us natal families to come back to visit relatives and stay here. No matter how much money is spent, it is a must."

Long Keduo was overjoyed, and said with a smile on his face, "You know my son is filial!"

Seeing the Tong family's statement, Zhang Hongxu couldn't help but nodded secretly. He solemnly received the imperial concubine and empress, that is, to respect the Lord Long Live. The Tong family father and son are not foolish.

Moreover, Zhang Hongxu knew very well that Niang Niangniang of Jingren Palace had no children and had always regarded Yuzhu as her own cub.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Longkodo was reluctant to spend money, Yuzhu would never agree.

When Zhang Hongxu went back to hand in the decree, he recounted every word Yuzhu and Longkodo had said in detail, without missing a single word.

After hearing this, the old emperor nodded slightly, thought for a while, and then asked Zhang Hongxu: "Why do you think the Tong family is so happy?"

Zhang Hongxu's heart was shocked, and he didn't dare to hesitate to say: "Going back to the Long Live Lord, the empress is returning to Ning, this is the first time in decades, if the Tong family is not happy, they will be struck by lightning."

"Hmph, you must know what I'm asking. If you dare to talk nonsense, throw it into the lake to feed the bastard." The old emperor looked stern and stared at Zhang Hongxu coldly.

Zhang Hongxu was terrified, he quickly knelt down, kowtowed his head heavily, and said in a trembling voice: "After the empress returns to the province, the Tong family will definitely gain momentum."

"Well, the momentum is loud, that's right, get out." The old emperor waved his hand, and Zhang Hongxu escaped from the sky by rolling and crawling.

On this side, Long Ke spread a lot of hero posts and invited relatives of Lao Tong's family to discuss this matter together.

You must know that in this era when the family sits together, the return of the imperial concubine to visit relatives is not just a matter of Longkodo and his son, but the top priority of the entire old Tong family.

Three days later, the elders of the family came in droves.

Because there were too many people, they could only sit in the yard in front of the main house.

When it comes to family etiquette, no matter how high Yu Zhu's title is, no matter how prominent his official position is, it will be difficult to use. He can only stand obediently behind Long Kedo.

The old Tong family is really big and deeply rooted. There are dozens of Tong family members who have served as ministers, governors, generals and governors.

Tong Yangzhen, the great ancestor of Yuzhu, was the eldest son of Tong Jun. He had two younger brothers, Tong Yangyuan and Tong Yangcui.

Tong Yangzhen has three sons, namely Tong Fengnian, Tong Shengnian and Tong Jingnian.

Among them, Tong Shengnian, Tong Tulai, Kangxi's maternal grandfather.

Tong Tulai has three sons, the eldest son Tong Guoji, the second son Tong Guogang, and the third son Tong Guowei.

Before Tong Guowei died, he told Yuzhu alone that although his great-uncle Tong Guoji was expelled from the family very early, he was the Tong family after all, so he could take care of him as much as possible.

Today, in Lao Tong's family, all the elders who have status and status and should come have come.

Among them, the longest seniority is Tong Guowei's cousin, Tong Guoding, who was once the general of Jingzhou.

Tong Guoding glanced at Yuzhu standing behind Longkodo, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that I, an old man, would meet such a grand event before I went to meet my ancestors. It can be seen that God still You don't want to accept me."

This is quite a taste of relying on the old to sell the old!
Yuzhu knew in his heart that Tong Guoding said that on purpose.

Because Tong Xiao, the grandson of Tong Guoding, had bad luck when he participated in the selection of bodyguards.

This Tong Xiao is a typical Eight Banners dude, when he was trying out art, he fired five arrows in a row, and all of them missed the target.

That's all, he was not the only one who missed the target, everyone was in the same boat, the eldest brother Mo Xiao and the second brother.

The problem is, when Tong Xiao was riding on the horse, he staggered around and looked stupid, and the old emperor happened to see him.

The old emperor's nose was almost crooked, he called Tong Xiao to him, and yelled: "My Manchuria is based on cavalry and archery, and I am invincible. There are only [-] iron cavalry, and they enter the pass with mighty power. The year will set the tripod in the Central Plains. Are you a bitch worthy of the surname Tong Jia?"

To be honest, if the old emperor hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it wouldn't be difficult to deceive the past with Yuzhu's powerful power.

Just like that, Tong Xiao, who was originally designated as a third-class shrimp, was completely out of the game!
The imperial concubine is Tong Guowei's concubine, Long Kedo's younger sister, and Tong Guoding's blood relationship is separated by several layers.

Tong Guoding deliberately said that, obviously, he wanted to use this to force Yuzhu to come forward and help Tong Xiao find a suitable job.

After all, Tong Guoding is also an old general who has seen the world.He also knows that idleness, liking leisure and loathing work are the common problems of prodigal sons.

You can't be too idle, you must find an errand to tie Tong Xiao's bridle.

There were so many elders present, if Yuzhu wanted to speak, he would have to salute all over the place, which was inconvenient for a thief.

Longko thought for a while, and was about to speak, but was preempted by Qingtai.

Qingtai stroked his beard and smiled, and said softly: "Master Uncle, to tell you the truth, it's a coincidence that there is just a lack of an eighth grade pen sticker in my yamen. Turn around and ask Zhu'er to say hello to the officials. It is estimated that there is [-]% hope."

Yuzhu's heart warmed, alas, Qingtai, the eighth uncle and Ama, is really caring!
