The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 241 Phase
When he woke up the next day, Gu Huaishu was thinking about going to the Old Summer Palace, he didn't sleep well, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Tingyu getting up.

"Don't call it Da Qi today, you got up so early, is there something wrong with Nan Study?"

"There is a war, so you have to work harder." Zhang Tingyu buttoned a button in front of the full-length mirror, suddenly turned to look at Gu Huaixiu, and said, "I saw Li Guangdi getting closer to Ba Ye recently, and Mr. Li is also confused I'm afraid it's not far away."

The reason why Kangxi was willing to support Li Guangdi was because Li Guangdi had no party disputes and had always watched the emperor do things, but because the situation has been too calm recently, Li Guangdi has become numb all the time. ?Moreover, he is old and will leave sooner or later.

Now it depends on who will pick up Li Guangdi after he leaves.

This year's exam is coming soon, and it has nothing to do with Zhang Tingyu. He only cares about the things behind him, so there is a lot less trouble.

On Peng's side, they never came to make trouble again. Gu Huaishu couldn't argue with Peng, so he just asked Peng Weixin.

It's time for Peng Weixin to pay the price for being double-faced and three-faced.

Thinking about the past twenty years, from a literati to a close minister in the South Study, he was only one step away from entering the palace and the cabinet, but he didn't know when he would get his wish.

Since the Ming Dynasty, there has been the post of Grand Scholars, which is the highest position among all civil servants.

Anyone who has become a "big scholar" can be respected as a "face" by his subordinates.

University scholars are also divided into high and low. The Zhonghe Palace has been empty for a long time, and no one has filled it for 30 to [-] years. Leaving the Zhonghe Palace aside, from high to low, there are Baohe Palace and Wenhua Palace. , Wuying Hall, Wenyuan Pavilion, East Pavilion.

University scholars are all first-rank officials, but their status is still the highest in the Hall of Preserving Harmony, and ordinary officials go from the bottom to the top.

Now that Kangxi is getting older, starting from Zhang Ying back then, the number of bachelors in the three halls and two pavilions has decreased towards the bottom.

In Yiwei, the 54th year of Kangxi this year, there is not a single scholar from Baohedian; ; Li Guangdi and Wang Jian, the bachelors of Wenyuan Pavilion; none of the scholars of Dongge University.

There used to be Ma Qi, a scholar in the Hall of Martial Arts, but he offended the emperor when the crown prince was abolished, and was dismissed from the Hall of Martial Arts, and was removed from the Hall of Martial Arts.

Such a great opportunity, how many people's eyes are red?

It's just that anyone who can become a bachelor, who is not talented and educated, and also has a good heart.

Kangxi became more suspicious as he got older, and he didn't know who would come down and who would go up.

Thinking that these are useless, Zhang Tingyu sighed, "From the Imperial Academy to the three halls and two pavilions, they all say that they are ministers. I don't know when they will be able to go up."

Gu Huai pinched his sleeves and counted, recalling yesterday's joke, he just lazily leaned on the brocade pillow and said, "It's early."

There are three to two hundred people in the Hanlin Academy, and these are still in the courtyard, not to mention that there are seventy to eighty people who enter the Hanlin Academy every three years. Calculated in this way, there should be 200 people who were born in the Hanlin Academy in this dynasty. The one in the pavilion is one in a hundred.

How can it be so easy to confer the title of marquis and worship the prime minister?

But Zhang Tingyu had waited long enough.

Now that Gu Huaixiu looked at him, he gloated: "I just think, if you can't reach this position, I don't know what it will be like..."

If Kangxi hadn't promoted him as an official fan, I don't know what he could do if he pushed Zhang Tingyu into a hurry.

What are the three halls and two pavilions today?In the future, there will be a military aircraft department...

Thinking about it, Gu Huaixiu just turned his back to sleep, and after a while, he heard rustling outside, Zhang Tingyu went into Changchun Garden before dawn.

When he was knighted in 48, Kangxi gave the Old Summer Palace one mile north of Changchun Garden to Prince Yong Yinzhen. with.

Gu Huaishu stood up pressing his forehead, and waited until after lunch before gradually leaving the northwest suburbs to meet people.

Because the Old Summer Palace and Changchun Garden were close, Gu Huaishu only passed by from the side, passed the round gate and saw Su Peisheng who was outside chatting with the little eunuchs with his fly whisk.

Of the two servants around Yinzhen, one has a smooth mouth and can't stop talking for ten days and a half months, that is Su Peisheng;Now here, when Su Peisheng sees Gu Huaixiu, he cheerfully comes up to make a beating: "Madam asked the slave to wait, I have been looking forward to you for several hours."

Gu Huaishu glanced back. Someone had already led the sedan chair to the side, but no one saw it. She was half relieved, and smiled as she walked: "Si Ye didn't tell me when to come, I just casually Is it inappropriate to pick a time to go? If there is an inappropriate time, I'd better go home."

How dare Su Peisheng let her go?He hurriedly apologized: "It's a servant who can't speak. Didn't you think you weren't coming when you didn't send any letters for a long time? I have a lot of things to do today, so I just finished it. Go outside and look at the flowers."

After a pause, Gu Huaishu said, "How about I go back first?"

"Hey, don't leave. The master is angry. If you don't want to go, what will you do when the master peels off the servant's skin?" Su Peisheng was in a hurry. He touched his neck with a troubled expression on his face, " Do you feel sorry for the poor servant?"

"It's a dead end for me to go in. Anyone who wants to bump into your master will be unlucky."

Gu Huaishu squeezed the ledger in his hand, thinking that Yinzhen got angry, usually there is a sense of proportion, and neither the left nor the right will really take care of her.

Thinking of her walking on the tip of a knife, it is also very thrilling. Zhuang Xiao's death has no proof, and Pan Cheng has no reason to sell her. It is because someone else has informed Yinzhen, or he himself has seen something. .

Turning my thoughts here, Gu Huaishu's suspicion fell on Zhou Daoxin.

While talking, he turned around the front lake and saw the Zibi mountain house, the flowers outside were just blooming, some houses were built in the past few years, they looked simple, when Gu Huaishu came here, he even saw some farmland House, I don't know what route this master is taking.

Su Peisheng walked through a large courtyard because of Gu Huaixiu. The view in the doorway was very good. You could see green trees and red flowers blooming all over the courtyard. Eight pairs of red lacquered pillars were supporting them. They walked around the front corridor and arrived. In the back building, there is a small lake outside. It is getting late at this moment, the sun is not poisonous, shining on the water surface, revealing some gorgeous light.

Gu Huaishu stopped outside Baoxia, and saw a few court ladies standing outside. When she went up the steps, she saw Su Peisheng go in to give an announcement, so she was a few steps behind, and stood in front of the door and did not go in for a while.

Seeing people go in, it took a while to come out, and I don't know what they were doing, and a few court ladies came out, and then I heard Yinzhen's footsteps.

She didn't look up, just stared at the toe of her shoe.

Yinzhen straightened his cuffs, thinking that Gu Huaixiu was unlucky, Su Peisheng folded the arrow sleeves for his master, and then stepped aside.

"What are you doing standing at the door? I'm afraid you won't be able to do it if the master eats you?"

"I was afraid that the prince would want the slave's head, so I didn't dare to enter."

Gu Huaishu felt that he was an honest person, so he told the truth.

Yinzhen, who had just picked up the tea, really wanted to throw such a teacup to her: "I haven't seen you for a month or so, but you've grown up. Zhuang Xiaozhi did a good job. He just wiped away a good chess piece from Master. Now Don't you even admit your mistakes to me? Do you really think you are a good bridge, so I dare not tear you down?"

Gu Huaixiu had already entered, bowed his head and said: "That Zhuang Xiaozhi was originally a grass on both sides of the wall, and it would be a disaster if he kept it, but Zhou Daoxin and Pan Cheng were newly filled in. That Pan Chengnu can still be useful, he has eyesight. Son, he also has courage, wouldn't such a person be more comfortable to use than Zhuang Xiaozhi?"

"Cut first and then play, now you are still boasting about yourself?"

Yinzhen didn't expect that she could say a few flowers from her mouth.

But thinking about it, what she said is indeed reasonable, Zhuang Xiaozhi is not Yinzhen's heart disease?
But it's so simple and simple, what do you want him to do?

The co-authors are all due to her ability to take care of her. It is a crime for a slave to act as a substitute, not to mention that acting as a substitute is a fake, and a fox pretending to be a tiger is true.

"Earlier I called you a scumbag, now I should call you a scumbag. There is never a time to worry. Today you have the ability to argue with me. In the future, I will sell you and throw you in front of Huang Ama." , and see what else you can say."

Yinzhen was just speaking out of anger, he came from Niu Hulu's side, thanks to Gu Huaishu who picked a good time.

Gu Huaixiu thought that she had grasped Yinzhen's mind, and she did nothing wrong in handling Zhuang Xiaozhi's matter, but the master always had to beat and beat the slaves in order to show the master's prestige.Thinking about it, she pushed the boat forward and said: "I don't dare, I made a mistake once, and I don't dare to make another mistake."

"It sounds nice."

Yinzhen sneered, and finally took a sip of tea and went in.

A head poked out from behind the screen, and looked at it curiously. When Su Peisheng turned his head, he was startled, and hurried over to cover him.

However, Yinzhen had already seen it at this time, his eyes became colder, and he said: "Does the Niuhulu family also look down on people?"

The child looked like he was only four years old, and seemed to have just barged in unintentionally, but now he shrank his neck in fright at Yinzhen's sneering words, and hurriedly retreated.

Gu Huaixiu just looked at it like this, considering his age, and he knew it was a child of the Niu Hulu clan, so he knew it was the fourth elder brother from Yinzhen's mansion, his name was Hongli, right?

Hongli was still young, his birth mother was just a geek, and he didn't dare to do anything wrong, because his mother was favored this day, so he was a little frivolous, now he is being reprimanded, how dare he do anything wrong?He pleaded guilty to Yinzhen in a series of voices.

"Oh, brother, you can't force it. It's still cold on the ground, so I'll take you back with me."

Su Peisheng is still a good man, knowing that Yinzhen was here to discuss matters, he quickly dragged Hongli away.

Hongli was still a little curious, he stuck out his tongue and scratched his head when he came out: "Grandpa Su, please worry about me."

Su Peisheng knew that Hongli could talk, so he just sighed and said to Hongli: "Brother, go back to Gege, and don't come out when there are foreigners around."

Yinzhen didn't have many offspring. A few years ago, Fujin gave birth to a bad boy, but the womb was not good. Now the master is still worried, and he dare not provoke him.

The Niu Hulu family is a man who can endure compromise in the mansion. After 50 years of obtaining the Hongli, life is easier, and because this little elder brother is still smart, so Yinzhen only pays more attention to it. Before Mrs. Zhang came over , it was at Niu Hulu's place.Only Niu Hulu's family and Li's family lived in the three rooms of Baoxia. Normally, the master would not come here. Today, he just made an appointment to talk with someone. Unexpectedly, the master came late.

After talking for a while, Niu Hulu's mother came to look for him, and she was startled when she saw Su Peisheng, and hurriedly saluted.

Su Peisheng's eyes showed a bit of impatience, and he just said: "Be brighter with your tricks, don't just walk around with nothing to do, no one can take care of what kind of disaster happens."

There was something in his words, and he didn't care whether the old mama could understand, so he went back to serve with a flick of the whisk.

Gu Huaishu was handing over the brochure at this time, and said: "This exam will take place, and we have recruited 68 people. Waiting for the apricot list to be released, the servant will tick off the names for you."

"68?"

Yinzhen took the roster and flipped through it: "The chief examiner for this exam is Zhao Shenqiao, and there are also two uncles in your family who are referees. Now Zhang Tingyu can't say a word. How many of the 68 can you win?"

It was the time when there was a shortage of people in hand and it was time to recruit people. Zhang Tinglu and Zhang Tingyu were going to take the exam, and Zhang Tingyu had to get out of the way.

"My second master is not yours, can you tell the difference?" Gu Huaishu emphasized more than once, "As for how many of the 68 people will win in the end, won't you know later?"

"Diao Nu..." Yinzhen frowned, "Master, let me ask you, how much do you know about Shen Chiu? I heard that he has some old friends with you..."

"You almost sold your slaves, why don't you hear about the old days?"

Gu Huaixiu was about to sneer, she felt absurd in her heart, and suddenly felt a little pitiful for Yinzhen.

"Fourth Master, you are short of people in your hands. I want to ask if there is anyone under Shen Chao's who can be recruited?"

"You're smart."

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows, and walked to the front of the lake with his hands behind his back, looked at the short hill, pinched the jade pendant around his waist, and said slowly: "People who are too smart, don't worry about using it."

People who are too smart don't worry about using it.

Gu Huaishu didn't look back, just looked at the screen, suddenly he was speechless.

Shen Chao is smart, and he hasn't been with Fourth Master for long, he believes it is just common, and Shen Chao doesn't seem to have any big reasons in Yinzhen's hands, which is even more unbelievable.

The longer he has been in contact with this person, the more frightening he feels.

But it was Yinzhen who felt terrible to Gu Huaishu.

"Not yet, my servant will keep an eye out for you."

"How about Shen Qu?"

Yin Zhen asked suddenly.

Gu Huaishu turned around abruptly, looked at Yinzhen who was standing at the door: "What do you mean?"

"Shen Qi has always wanted to reverse the case for his family. Although the Lord knew that his family had a grievance, just like Zhang Tingyu who unjustly killed the third prince Zhu and Dai Mingshi, if he was wronged, he will be wronged... There is a Zhong Heng by Shen Yang's side, I heard that I have been with him for 30 to [-] years, and people can't grasp the handles of his daily behavior, and there is no one to win over; there is a man named Li Wei, who is said to call you a godmother, but it is not oily and salty. , is more difficult than Zhong Heng. Thinking about it, your son is the only one who is interesting..."

Yinzhen knew Shen Qu's life experience since he inquired about the sentence "Yu'er" that Gao Wuyong listened to behind the screen that day, now he sees that Gu Huaixiu's expression rarely changes, he just finds it interesting.

"Although Shen Qu has not been included in his Shen family tree, it's easy for my master to crush him to death."

"Now that I've dealt with Shen Ailment, I'm afraid that you can't handle it with the Fourteenth Master. If you don't guarantee it, someone will stab a knife in the back. Now that Mr. Li Guangdi is getting close to the Eighth Master Party, it's better for you not to be held accountable." Right?" Gu Huaishu gradually calmed down, and then he said these words.

However, she suddenly had other thoughts.

Fourth master is pinching Shen Yang here, it's the night with long dreams.

According to Yinzhen's intentions, Shen Chao was alone in his family, even if he copied the nine clans, he would not be able to copy Shen Qu's body, not to mention that as long as Shen Qu's life experience was shaken off at any time, he would not be implicated.

The sharpest knife hanging on Shen Qi's head now is not Zhang Tingyu, but Fourth Master.

All the birds are hiding...

It depends on how long Shen Chao can survive, his life was turbulent and exciting enough, and his death is enough for the world to talk about.

Yinzhen knew that Gu Huaishu was unwilling to let go of this matter, and it was probably because of her son, who didn't force her now, and only told her about Sun Lianqiao, but in hindsight, the most important thing was the examination. After a while, Dai Duo came, and Long Kedo came together, and after talking for a while until it was late, they were told to break up.

Dai Duo went around and saw no one, but Longkodo wanted to go back to the city, but accidentally went with Gu Huaishu.

The two have their own enmity, and Longkodo is used to it. He is still in the Lifan Academy, but he is a little depressed for a while.

Not long after, Zhou Daoxin was appointed General Secretary of the General Administration, and now things are booming. Nian Gengyao is far away from the emperor in Tiangao, Sichuan, and no one can catch him. Although Long Kedo, under the fourth master's hand, is the closest to the emperor, he is also the least. comfortable.

He scratched his head and looked unhappy, and when Gu Huaishu passed by, he smiled: "Seeing that you are uncomfortable, I feel very relieved."

Longkodo just sighed: "You said that everyone is getting promoted step by step, why am I doing so badly? The fourth master always told me that there is nothing to wait for. I don't think it's any good to be as famous as the six films."

Gu Huaixu was the one who sneered in his heart. In the 50th year of Kangxi, there was a case of Tuo Heqi's drinking party. After Tuo Heqi was dismissed, Longkodo was in charge of the nine admirals and became the commander of the infantry. Almost the entire Sijiu City It's all in his hands, just because there are too many remnants of the Baye Party in the Nine Gates, which can't be cleared up for a while, and there are still people interfering with Longkodo's decision-making, so even though he is in this position, he can't Feel good about it.

Longkodo still has a job at the Lifan Academy, but in fact he has nothing to do every day.

Thinking about it now, the nine admirals are nothing special.

It's a pity that Gu Huaishu doesn't think so.

Yinzhen's heart is big enough, Gu Huaishu knows something that others don't know.

"Boss Tong is working with Ma Qi. You should not be taken seriously now, but aren't you the younger brother of the former queen? The emperor misses your kindness, and put your heart back in your stomach."

The older the Kangxi people are, the more nostalgic they are. Maybe when they think of the queen's kindness, they will reward Longkodo's high-ranking officials.

Longkodo didn't expect to go here. His family members are all Eighth Master's party, and he is the only one who comes here to stick with Fourth Master.

In the end, the situation is still unclear, and the emperor didn't see any major mistakes in his body. He was always old and not dead yet.

Thinking of some disrespectful words in his heart, Long Kedo felt that what Gu Huaishu said might not be unreasonable, "I see that the three halls and two pavilions are empty now, why didn't I see you worry about Mr. Zhang?"

Gu Huaishu had already left the round door, and he just smiled and said, "Think about it, Fourth Master is trying to win you over, and you are the admiral of the Nine Schools, so which blade can Fourth Master use such good steel?"

After finishing speaking, she left directly, leaving Long Kedo in place.

Longkodo was shocked by the woman's words and broke into a cold sweat.

Mother, is this tricky woman scaring him?
He has always been ignorant, he thinks a lot, but he doesn't think about it.

He still wanted to ask more questions, but seeing that Gu Huaixiu had already left in the sedan chair, his heart was hesitating.

Gu Huaishu left the Old Summer Palace, and when he came out, he remembered that it was time to give Nian Chenyu a gift, she gave birth to a little princess, and now she is also a mother.

"Qing Dai goes back and picks a few auspicious things to send, and the meaning will be fulfilled."

After hearing Gu Huaishu's words, Qing Dai went to work.

Speaking of which, there were quite a few twists and turns in Nian Gengyao's affairs.

Before Nian Gengyao could hand over the letter of divorce, Nalan Qinhua hanged himself.Gu Huaishu had no feelings for Nalan Qinhua at all, and only remembered the grand occasion of the Mingzhu Mansion. Nalan Kuixu was her uncle, and now her niece committed suicide in the Nian Mansion, but let the current head of the Imperial Academy Nalan Kuixu is very angry, and the Nian Mansion and Nalan Mansion are considered to be enemies here.Nian Gengyao was not the kind of person who dies easily. After he died, he even took the written divorce letter back to Nalan's mansion. The two families had no intention of being in-laws for a long time.

At the beginning of spring, after divorcing his wife, Nian Gengyao left in a cool manner, leaving the people in Nalan Mansion to scold him bloody behind his back and didn't bother to talk to them.

Gu Huaishu couldn't help but think about the ending of these people, and also think about the things hidden in Zhang Tingyu's heart, he was a little confused for a while.

She went back to the mansion and still took care of the affairs of the mansion. There was a test every few days. This time the chief examiner was Zhao Shenqiao, Zhang Tinglu and Zhang Tingyu, both of whom failed the ranking. .

If Zhao Shenqiao dared to do this, there was no one behind him.

But Zhang Tingyu secretly asked people to go to Kangxi's side to test the tone, not as if he wanted to pursue Zhao Shenqiao, but he thought that Zhang Tinglu and Zhang Tingyu should be like this here.

From Zhang Ying to Zhang Tingzan, and then to Zhang Tingyu, one branch is already glorious enough, and if there are more people, they have to press back.

Brothers Zhang Tinglu and Zhang Tingyu didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, they comforted Zhang Tingyu, saying that they were "late bloomers". Wait another three years.

The only thing to be happy about in the general examination, maybe only the 68 people that Gu Huaishu had recruited before, all of them passed the general examination and entered the palace examination, and even half of the 68 people passed the imperial examination and entered the Imperial Academy.

For Gu Huaixiu's rare good eyesight, the fourth master directly sent someone to set aside two shops for her, and gave her another courtyard in the suburbs, saying that it was to reward her for her reliable work, but Gu Huaixiu said that his small favors and favors are rare Be generous.

It's just that Gu Huaixiu's affairs are going smoothly, but Zhang Tingyu's affairs are not necessarily.

Li Guangdi, who had been begging for a rest for a long time, was finally given a two-year leave by Kangxi after the examination, and went back to Fujian. There were only four bachelors in Beijing at the moment, and Zhang Tingyu had clearly become the one who actually worked in the South Study, but Not even a cabinet bachelor could get in, which made him depressed for a long time.

After all, here is still to talk about experience.

Waiting until the end of the year, Zhang Tingyu finished his errands, just returned to the house, swept the snow off his body, pressed his hands into the copper basin, looked at the diffuse cinnabar red, and said in a deep voice: "Today, I wrote blessings to the officials. At that time, the emperor said that Ma Qi was able to do things well, so guess what?"

Gu Huaishu poked the ashes in the stove with silver chopsticks, and paused when he heard the words: "Ma Qi?"

The confidant of the Eighth Master's Party is an important minister, but now he has turned to support the Fourteenth Master.

At the beginning of the year, Li Guangdi said that he was going to leave. After finishing his work, he would have an exam. He finally left the capital. He took a two-year vacation and went back to the south to recuperate. He thought it was time, but how could he think of it...

Zhang Tingyu looked at the redness in the nails that could not be washed off, looked at the slightly long nails of the little finger, and even laughed: "Next year, he will be the head of the House of Internal Affairs, and also the Minister of the Household Department. He will be sent back to the Hall of Martial Arts by the emperor."

In 48, because of Gu Huaixiu's tricks, Ma Qi easily recommended Ba Ye as the superior, and finally Ma Qi was dismissed; now it is the end of 54, and in 55, Ma Qi climbed back to the position of the University of Martial Arts Hall. I really don't know who it is Calculated who.

Gu Huaixiu also frowned, simply threw away the silver chopsticks, looked at Zhang Tingyu's back, walked over to pass him the handkerchief, and said: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

To be comfortable is to be damned.

Entering the Hanlin is the chancellor, and what he walked was not the Yangguan Road, but the single-plank bridge, but no matter how difficult it is, he has become a close minister of the emperor.

But who are the people promoted by Kangxi now?

Among Zhang Tingyu's fellow Jinshi, Nian Gengyao came back last year, maybe thinking that he could be promoted to a noble, but in the end he returned to Sichuan with the governor's seal; Zhang Tingyu has been here for three years without Ding You, and has been in Nanshufang for almost eight years. Lin Lin finally figured it out, and it took ten years with a snap of the fingers.There is also Long Kedo, isn't it depressed?
Now Kangxi just likes those old men, and occasionally there are those who are valued at a young age, and it was only in the past two years. Maybe there is only one fourteenth elder brother who he likes, and the others are alienated.

If this continues, when will it be possible to survive?
"Recently, there has been no movement from the fourth master, but the fourteenth master has been in a mess..."

Zhang Tingyu slowly wiped his hands while talking.

He heard the sound of firecrackers outside, and another year passed.

"Remember Fang Bao? Li Guangdi recommended him, but it's useless. Now that the bachelors are getting older, I'm taking care of things... If things go on like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it anymore."

What Zhang Tingyu is doing is the work of four great scholars, and he is awarded the name of a Nanshufangxing and Fengzhi doctor. Zhang Tingyu is always unbalanced when he thinks about it.

He's just a layman, too.

Gu Huaixiu knew that he was vulgar, so he just said: "Hold on, bear with it, there will always be a time to shine."

"People look at my face, but I know the pain in my heart."

After receiving the handkerchief, Zhang Tingyu looked at his hand by the candlelight, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought for a long time.

"Let me think about it, it's better for the emperor to die as soon as possible."
