Yun Yao walked around the study, her face anxious. Yun Yao was waiting for Wu Lu and his wife to come back, and this time the two went to Ma Jia's mother's house to discuss their daughter's draft with Ma Jia's brother.

Ma Jia's brother's name is Ma Jia. Tu Hai, he was like a fish in water in the Shunzhi Dynasty and the Kangxi Dynasty, and Yun Yao's uncle was a scholar of the Zhonghe Temple and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites. At this time, he was ranked third among the scholars. This year, it was promoted by one level and ranked second. And next year, Tuhai will be crowned the crown prince.

To say that Ma Jia's family has such a famous brother, her marriage will not fall on Wu Lu's head. However, this is the tenth year of Shunzhi, when the nineteen-year-old Shunzhi wanted to depose his empress, claiming that his empress was "not chosen" and was chosen by the regent Dorgon, so he did not recognize her as empress and wanted to abolish her empress. Although Shunzhi's move was somewhat capricious, it was also aimed at eliminating the influence of Dorgon and the Mongols in the court.

However, although Shunzhi deposed a Mongol empress, he had to accept his niece as the new Mongol empress. Although Shunzhi started out to eliminate the influence of Dolgon and Mongolia on the Qing Dynasty, Shunzhi later found that he had to accept another Mongol empress and had to compromise.

However, Shunzhi created a new system for this matter. That is, the draft system. The draft came from the Ming Dynasty, and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang chose a princess from low-level officials and civilians for the sake of choosing a wife for his children and grandchildren. This move greatly curbed the possibility of usurpation of power by foreign relatives.

However, the draft founded by Shunzhi is different, it is a draft that gathers the nobles in the Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han Eight Banners. Many of the elected families gave the show girl to the clan or included it in the palace as a concubine. It can also greatly connect the relationship between the ministers and the royal family. Shunzhi's initial purpose was to "not choose" for the excuse of deposing the queen before, but later Shunzhi found that the draft could connect the interests of all parties, and he could better understand the network of ministers, so as to control the development of the government.

You must know that in the past, Xiaozhuang and his aunt Empress Zhezhe gave a lot of Mongolian gege to the clan as blessings in order to deepen the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia. However, this did work, and as the next generation of the clan had Mongol ancestry, their ties to Mongolia grew. Shunzhi's control of the right to draft marriage into his own hands was also inspired by his mother.

Speaking of the connection between this matter and Ma Jia's family, it is because when Shunzhi decided to draft the Manmeng-Han Eight Banners, it was stipulated that the age of the show girl was thirteen to sixteen years old, and Ma Jia's age had just turned seventeen. In fact, I thought it was okay to participate in the draft at Ma Jia's age. And Shunzhi knew that Tuhai had a younger sister and wanted Tuhai to see his sister sent to the palace.

It's just that Tuhai knows the relationship between Shunzhi and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, if his sister enters the palace, no one can please him, and it will be a sandwich biscuit. What's more, the harem at this time was mostly Mongolian concubines, and if Ma Jia's family entered the palace, it would be impossible for the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang to place Ma Jia's family above the Mongolian nobles. And Shunzhi is even more unlikely to fall out with his mother for this matter, and now the Manchu concubines in the harem can't get out at all, so Tuhai doesn't want to let his sister enter the palace and suffer a misfortune.

It just so happened that Ma Jia's was over seventeen, and Tuhai used this as an excuse not to let his sister participate in the draft. then found him a family to marry, and her family friend was Niu Hulu's family. At this time, Niu Hulu's Wu Lu family was at the right age, so the two became husband and wife.

Wu Lu's Ama Yiteng and Tuhai's Ama had a close relationship, and the two were neighbors when Eyiteng did not return to the Qing Dynasty with his cousin. Although the two are full of people, they are both a little frail, and they are powerless people, and the two of them have the same disease.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were at war, and most of them were promoted by military merits, while the few who were promoted by literati were mostly looked down upon by the martial arts. The heads of the Niu Hulu family are also all national princes who have been awarded military merits, so they naturally look down on literati. Therefore, Yi Yiteng did not receive the slightest help from Niu Hulu's family, and went to the army with Amamuhada of Tuhai to become a military commissariat.

Although they were in the barracks, the work of the two was done by civilian officials, and with the victory of the army, they slowly gained some credit. Eyiteng is at least surnamed Niu Hulu, although the boss knows that he is not very close to Eyi, it is difficult to ensure that he has a head for Eyi. Therefore, he didn't dare to deduct his credit, and later Yi Yiteng was promoted by virtue of his own merits, and got two assistant positions for the eldest son and the second son.

But Muhada is miserable, there is no one behind him, and he is a civilian official, so he does not fit in with others. Therefore, his credit was falsely claimed by others, and he has never been promoted to an official. And although Er Yiteng was willing to help, although his boss didn't dare to provoke him, he wouldn't listen to his opinion. Yi Teng can only take care of him within his ability. And although one of the two is inlaid with a yellow flag and the other is in a positive yellow flag, the friendship between the two families has gradually become closer with the friendship between the two.

Therefore, the friendship between the two was not broken until Muhada died of illness, and Eyiteng also took good care of the Tuhai brothers and sisters. Later, Tuhai was valued by Shunzhi and rose step by step, and the relationship between the two families was not broken.

And Wu Lu and Ma Jiashi are also childhood sweethearts, after the two got married, they were harmonious, and there were no aunts or anything like that. Ma Jiashi joined Niu Hulu's family for several years and did not give birth to children, and Yi Yiteng did not criticize her. This also made Tuhai also grateful, and felt that his decision was correct.

And Tu Hai was disgusted by Shunzhi because of this move, and Shunzhi once said, "Tu Hai was originally white, and I was exceptionally promoted, and I was appointed with a product." ”

Because of this, Emperor Shunzhi's favor for him is decreasing day by day. In Shunzhi's view, everything Tuhai was given to him by himself, and Tuhai's move was a vain grace and a shameless villain. As I said earlier, Shunzhi is a person who is affectionate and sexual, which is simply a typical example of 'love desires for life and evil desires for death', although Shunzhi loves his talent, but he is even more harsh on Tuhai. Therefore, Tuhai's career has risen and fallen.

In July of the thirteenth year of Shunzhi, Tuhai managed the Criminal Department for just over a year, and was sent by Shunzhi Emperor Ge to worship him Rabul Hafan and the crown prince Taibao, and was demoted by three levels.

In the fifteenth year of Shunzhi (1658), due to the cheating case in Jiangnan Township, the Criminal Department "took refuge late for many years" and "asked very lightly", Tuhai was implicated and was dismissed from Shaobao, Prince Taibao and his superiors. In December, he was instructed to revise the "Great Qing Law" with the scholars Bahana, Jin Zhijun, Wei Zhouzuo, and Li Fei.

In the leap March of the sixteenth year of Shunzhi (1659), Tuhai was hit seriously again. The cause was a fight between the guard Arana and the Gong Erke Dai Qing slave in the city, and the criminal department sentenced Arana to 100 lashes and redemption during the trial. But eighteen days later, Emperor Shunzhi issued an order to strictly deal with Tuhai, Tuhai was dismissed, and his family property was confiscated. This punishment is of course a very fatal blow to Tuhai, losing his official position and losing his family, and almost losing his life.

Looking at Tuhai's career, you can know Shunzhi's temperament.

Tu Hai's career was up and down, and the sycophants who had been flattering around Wu Lu and his wife before were scattered, and some even fell into the ground.

Someone ran to Wu Lu's side and said that Tuhai had disgusted Shunzhi and would not be able to rise up again in the future, so he suggested that he divorce Ma Jia's family and marry someone else. However, Wu Lu did not agree, and reprimanded the man. Yi Yiteng learned that he even said that if Wu Lu married someone else, he would not recognize this son.

Tu Hai was very moved to learn that he was at the lowest point in his life at this time. Even when he was framed and almost imprisoned, he was not so low, because he knew that his uncle Yi Teng would inevitably save him. But now that he has provoked Shunzhi, no one can save him, and his uncle's family still does not abandon him, which shocks him even more.

Until Eyiteng's death, Tuhai also acted as a filial son with the Wu Lu brothers in front of Eyiteng's spirit, and was a vegetarian for Eyiteng for a year.

And before Ma Jia's gave birth to Yun Yao and Ling Tai, the dragon and phoenix fetuses, Ma Jia's family came out of the blow of her brother's condemnation, and no one said anything more in her ear. Tu Hai is also very concerned about this pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.

After Kangxi ascended the throne, Tuhai finally returned to his previous high spirits. In October of the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, when Shunzhi was dying, he left his last words: "The original capital is in charge of the sea, and the love and crime are wrong, and it is not too late to change." In case of Manchuria, there is a shortage of supplements. Drawing the sea to supplement the capital. It can be known that Emperor Shunzhi reflected on this matter and admitted that Tuhai was wronged, so he left his last words and waited for the new emperor to make up for him in the future. It is precisely because of this sentence of Emperor Shunzhi that after Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne, he immediately granted Tuhaizheng the Yellow Banner Manchuria unification post.

Suddenly, Ma Jia's family began to be sought after again, and everyone knew that Tuhai was very close to his sister's family, so Wu Lu's official road has been very stable.

In this draft, Wu Lu and Ma Jia's family were influenced many years ago, and they always hoped that their daughter would marry a good husband in the future, and they never thought of letting Yun Yao enter the palace to win a future. But because of Yun Yao's dream and the facts verified one by one, the husband and wife couldn't afford to be lucky, so they had to find a way to plan for their daughter's future.

Therefore, the husband and wife went to their uncle's house to find Tuhai to get an idea, and even said that Tuhai would make some efforts for the future of his niece. At this time, Wu Lu and the others had been gone for a long time, and Yun Yao couldn't help but worry that her uncle would not be far away to help her enter the palace.

After all, there was already a concubine of the Ma Jia clan in the palace at this time, and she gave birth to Kangxi's eldest son, Chengrui. Although the emperor's eldest son just died last year, Kangxi is still very fond of this woman who gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, and it is difficult to guarantee that Tuhai will not support her.

And Tu Hai may still stay out of the matter, after all, Kangxi attaches great importance to him at this time, and Tu Hai is old, so he may not ruin his reputation for this matter.

After a while, Wu Lu and his wife returned home, Yun Yao saw that Wu Lu and the two of them looked serious and worried, and wondered if his uncle didn't agree?

After Wu Lu and Ma Jiashi entered the study, they sat down, and Wu Lu groaned, "Your uncle has agreed to this." ”

Yun Yao's face was full of joy, but it was strange that Ama Eniang's face was so bad.

Wu Lu saw his daughter's expression and said, "Yao'er, you have to remember your uncle's kindness, and you will repay him in the future." Remember not to ruin your uncle's reputation. ”

After hearing this, Yun Yao knew that her uncle had paid a great price this time, and she couldn't help but be moved, Tuhai didn't have a daughter, so he treated Yun Yao like a daughter. Since Xiao Yunyao received gifts from Tu Hai to her, she has never stopped every year, even in the years when Tu Hai was beaten to the dust. Yun Yao knew that her uncle didn't want to get anything from her, he just loved her.

Time passed slowly, and during this time, Yun Yao learned the rules of the palace with Mama Xu, who was invited from the palace by Eniang. In recent days, Mama Xu has often praised Ma Jiashi for Yun Yao's good learning. But Yun Yao knew very well that she had just lived an extra lifetime in the palace. Therefore, it does not take credit.

Mama Xu also secretly praised when she saw it. Thinking that this Niu Hulu Gege might be better in the palace. The master's vision is as good as ever. That's right, when you see this, you should know that Mama Xu is Kangxi's person.

In fact, from the first time Yun Yao saw Mama Xu, Yun Yao was taken aback. In her previous life, Mama Xu was the mama in charge who followed Concubine Tong, but she didn't expect her to be her own teaching mama. It is said that Mama Xu is an old person who followed Empress Xiaokangzhang. However, she should not be from the Tong family, because after the death of Concubine Tong in the previous life, Mama Xu did not follow Xiao Tong Jia's family, but went to the Qianqing Palace to be the head of the house. Presumably, the Tong family does not have the ability to install people around Kangxi, so Yun Yao can listen to the rules she teaches herself and the taboos in the palace with peace of mind. Yun Yao believed that Kangxi would never harm her.

Therefore, Yun Yao told Ma Jiashi that she wanted Mama Xu to follow her into the palace. Ma Jiashi was stunned for a moment, and remembered her daughter's dream, most likely Mama Xu was an acquaintance in her daughter's dream, so she agreed to it.

Ma Jiashi found a time for Yun Yao to rest and discuss the matter with Mama Xu, and Mama Xu agreed after a little thought. In fact, what Mama Xu thinks is that I am afraid that the little master sent her here for this matter, and it seems that this Gege will have great achievements in the future.

In fact, Yun Yao was also a little strange, why did Kangxi send this god-level figure to teach her, could it be that Ma Jia's life character had such a great influence?

What Yun Yao didn't know was her own life, and even Kangxi already knew it. After all, Kangxi, as the emperor of a feudal dynasty, also believes in these very much. What's more, Monk Huizhen also said that Yun Yao also has something to do with him, and as an emperor with a great desire to control, Kangxi will not allow Yun Yao to be out of his control. Therefore, the easiest way is to find her in the palace. What Kangxi doesn't know, liking someone often starts from paying attention to that person.

Kangxi was looking at the information of the secret guard's investigation at this time, he didn't expect that Yun Yao's daughter who was a mere fourth-grade leader would have a high-ranking uncle. Kangxi also knew that Tu Hai's sister almost entered his emperor's harem, but he didn't expect Yun Yao to be the daughter of Ma Jia's family.

Kangxi knew that if there was no such thing, the four ministers set by Shunzhi might have become the five ministers. Because Tuhai was deeply trusted by Shunzhi at the beginning, he can be said to be a cronie among Shunzhi's cronies. Kangxi would rather have Tu Hai act as an auxiliary minister, because Tu Hai himself has a gentle temperament, is middle-minded, and diligent. Don't go around, there are years. Respect for things, sincerity for perseverance. Yuanjian Shen Ji, Keyong is a big responsibility. For the Kana council, but the judgment is selfless, not only the winner is convinced, but the loser is also convinced, which is the result of selflessness. The instrument is old, the talent is practiced, the praise of the machine, and the propaganda is tired. With the strength of civil and military talents, and the supreme nature of loyalty and love. Labor is mao, relying on good Yin.

These are Kangxi's evaluations of Tuhai in history, which shows how good Kangxi's impression of Tuhai is. And Tu Hai died too early, otherwise, Tu Hai would also be one of the powerful ministers. And Yun Yao's entry into the palace was really stained with his uncle's light

And in Kangxi's opinion, Yun Yao is one of the dragon and phoenix fetuses, with blessings, Kangxi is a superstitious emperor, so he has a good impression of Yun Yao.

Therefore, Kangxi ordered Liang Jiugong to enter the palace. As soon as Tuhai sent off his sister and brother-in-law, he heard the palace summoning him to meet him. Tu Hai hurriedly entered the palace.

When he arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Tu Hai saw Liang Jiugong greeting him outside the door, and hurriedly walked over. Tu Hai took out a piece of jade pendant from his sleeve and stuffed it into Liang Jiugong's hand, Liang Jiugong looked left and right and stuffed the jade pendant into the cuff, the movement was extremely fast, and it was cooked at a glance. Liang Jiugong gave Tu Hai a thousand words and whispered: "Master Tu is not in a hurry, it's a good thing." "I just won't say more.

Liang Jiugong has been by Kangxi's side for many years, and he knows Kangxi's opportunity, so he didn't say much. However, Liang Jiugong thought about the noble lord outside the palace and sighed secretly, with the support of a high-ranking uncle, he was going to rise to the top.

Tu Hai entered the palace gate and saw Kangxi sitting on the dragon chair correcting the folds, and hurriedly asked for peace.

Kangxi saw Tu Hai come in and stopped his movements, "Tu Aiqing is flat."

Tu Hai hurriedly got up and thanked him, "Long live Xie, I don't know what the saint is looking for a minion?" ”

Kangxi stared at Tuhai and asked, "I heard that Aiqing has a niece, will she participate in the draft this year?" ”

Tu Hai knew that Kangxi must have known the age of his niece, but he still asked this question, probably to warn him because he didn't send his sister to the draft.

Tu Hai hurriedly said: "This year, the niece of the slave is about to be drafted, please ask the emperor to choose a good home for her." ”

Kangxi nodded with satisfaction, knowing that Tuhai understood what he meant, so he didn't continue to ask. However, Kangxi thought, it seems that Tu Hai loves his niece, and it seems that when she enters the palace, Tu Hai's face cannot be too low. That's right, Kangxi didn't think of Wu Lu at all, but Kangxi still gave Tuhai's face.

After that, the two talked about some things in the court, and Kangxi asked Tuhai to have dinner with him. Tu Hai hurriedly expressed his gratitude. When Tu Hai left the palace gate, he thought that his sister's request had been completed so easily, and hoped that the saint would be kind to Yun Yao in his face.
