Chapter 119: The Way of Being an Official
Wu Lu said again: "Big brother, didn't Concubine Ma Jia always mislead her sister-in-law that Yao'er was your daughter, what if this reached the emperor's ears and the emperor believed it?" ”
Tu Hai made a lot of assumptions before, all of which were based on the fact that the concubine's family background could not be too high, and if Yun Yao was Tu Hai's daughter, wouldn't everything that was conceived before be overturned?
Tu Hai smiled: "The Holy One won't believe it, I have already explained it to the Holy One." ”
"But will the emperor believe it?" Wu Lu expressed doubt.
"Even if the emperor doesn't believe it, he won't worry about the old man interfering, after all, Yao'er can't become my daughter in name, and even if I contribute, the benefits I get at that time are not proportional to the pay, and the emperor will not be afraid of the old man." Figure Kaido.
Wu Lu listened to Tu Hai's words, but he didn't worry that Tu Hai would have any problems because of this, but after Tu Hai's teaching, Wu Lu almost understood his position.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the emperor will reuse him, the father of the concubines, mostly because of his low official position and easy control, and the saint is not worried about his backlash, and because since the founding of the dynasty, the major forces have married each other in order to form alliances.
Just like the emperor accepted Sony's granddaughter as the queen, Sony also had to repay Li for the emperor's pro-government, although Sony only talked about it before his death, maybe the emperor had long been dissatisfied with Sony's shirk, but he did it after all, because of his legacy, so that the emperor had an excuse to pro-government.
And after Sony's death, the emperor also promoted the Hesheri family, although the most important thing for the emperor is Suo Etu, the concubine, and the emperor may also have other thoughts in it, but there is Suo Etu, at least to ensure the prosperity of the next generation of the Hesheri family.
And Wu Lu's reuse by Kangxi is naturally not so complicated, the emperor will promote Wu Lu mainly because Wu Lu is already a relative, not for any other reason. And with the support of Tuhai, Wu Lu is also favored by many people in the court, so many people take advantage of today to come to win over the relationship.
Wu Lu found that the current situation was very favorable to him, and he couldn't help but have ambitions. After all, now that his uncle and daughter have entered the palace, he has created such good conditions for himself, if he doesn't work hard, he will be ashamed of his uncle and daughter.
Tu Hai was also very relieved to see Wu Lu understand, and said: "Now your future is promising, don't waste the current situation!" ”
Wu Lu is also full of confidence. said: "Big brother rest assured, now my younger brother also has the confidence to shelter Yao'er from the wind and rain." ”
Tu Hai said with satisfaction: "That's the best, and Qi Wei is also a first-class guard now, and he is reused by the saint, but there is some trouble with the Buddha." ”
Wu Lu replied: "That's true, it's just that the eldest brother is a military position, and it's not easy to settle now, but didn't you say that the emperor intends to move the three feudatories?" When the time comes, with the ability of the eldest brother and the attention of the saints, the eldest brother will definitely not be buried again this time. And those people in the clan don't want to rob the eldest brother of his military exploits this time! ”
"Indeed, to say that the biggest advantage of your attention by the saint this time is that you don't have to worry about the saint not seeing your credit, this is in the officialdom, the most important thing is not to do things, of course, it is also very important to do things, but if there is no superior to see your merits, it will be in vain. Buddha Sun is suffering a loss to this top, and there are too many people in the Niu Hulu clan, and you are a side line in the side line, so naturally you don't need those people to be close, so Buddha Sun has suffered a lot of losses in the past. Now the saint wants to show grace to your family, you must make good use of this opportunity, otherwise once the saint is not satisfied, Yao'er will have to suffer in the palace at that time. Tu Hai took the opportunity to teach Wu Lu the way to be an official.
Wu Lu said with confidence: "What the eldest brother said is that this time no matter what, we will seize the opportunity, and only by seizing this opportunity can we impress those people in the clan in the future." ”
In fact, Wu Lu has been holding his breath in the face of those people in the clan, and those people often laughed at the Wu Lu brothers in the past for relying on Er Yidu, a cousin, to make their fortunes, and Er Yiteng's military exploits were also considered by them to be their charity. Now that he has such an opportunity, Wu Lu should be as if those people have proved where the credit of their family came from.
Tu Hai was also raised by Yi Teng, so he naturally knew where the haze in the hearts of Yi Teng's family was, and now that Wu Lu had this ambition, Tu Hai naturally supported it, so he said: "If you can really do it, then my uncle's spirit in the sky will rest in peace." ”
Wu Lu said: "Big brother, don't worry, I won't let Ama down in the Heavenly Spirit." ”
However, Tu Hai saw that Wu Lu was so ambitious, so he had to pour some cold water on him. He said: "Wu Lu, now that you will be reused by the saint, you must remember to be cautious as an official, there are some things you must not do, no matter what you do, the saint will see it in his eyes." And you can't compare to the ancestral shadow of the Curb Pilon, even with Ao Bai is a raccoon dog, Curb Pilon can escape the death penalty, and even when he has to reuse him, he has to return the title on his body to him, this is the heritage of the family, and although you have the same surname as Curb Pilon, but you are only a sideline, naturally there will be no such preferential treatment, if you make any mistakes, I am afraid that even Curb Pilon will be the first to attack you, not to save you. And since you have been promoted by the saint, all the glory and wealth on your body are given to you by the saint, the saint can give it to you, but he can also take it away, so you must be careful in your actions, and remember that your master will always only be saintly, even the old man, if the old man asks you to do something contrary to what the saint wants you to do, you have to obey the will of the saint instead of the old man, if it goes against the will of the saint, I am afraid that the disaster of raiding the family and exterminating the clan is in front of you, do you understand? ”
Wu Lu was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard Tu Hai's words, in fact, Wu Lu's plan was to act in imitation of Curb Pilon, but after being broken by Tu Hai, Wu Lu found that if he learned Curb Pillon, I am afraid that he would not live long at all.
Hurriedly asked Tu Hai for advice: "Big brother, what should I do in the future?" ”
Tu Haidao: "Remember that everything is only supreme, you must do what the saint wants you to do, and you can't do what the saint doesn't let you do." ”
Wu Lu hesitated: "Then what if the Holy Lord did something wrong?" ”
Tu Haidao: "Today's saint is not a mediocre talent, some of the things he does are already well versed in the way of the emperor, so you don't have to worry about this, and even if the saint really does something wrong, you naturally need to advise, but once the saint decides, you just need to act according to the order." You must not complain about the Holy Command, that is a great taboo. ”
In fact, Tu Hai I's style of acting is just like what he told Wu Lu, in the previous life, Tu Hai repeatedly advised the emperor not to rush to do anything to the three feudatories, but after Kangxi gave the order, Tu Hai firmly carried out the emperor's order, and there was no previous objection, which became a sharp contrast with many people in the court grinding foreign work in the affairs of the three feudatories. It is also because of this that after Tuhai's death, Kangxi was quite tolerant of Tuhai's family, and Kangxi felt that Tuhai was a loyal minister of the imperial court, so he changed the scene when Tuhai scolded Tuhai angrily when he opposed it.
Of course, Tuhai didn't know about this in this life, so he told Wu Lu about his attitude towards the three feudatories in this life, and said: "When the saint revealed that he wanted to clean up the three feudatories, the old man was actually against it, but the saint insisted, since the old man has been open and honest with the saint, he naturally wants to support the saint's decision, so the old man has not expressed any opposition outside, and what the saint sees is not only the chaos in the three feudatories, but more importantly, the saint wants to take this opportunity to sweep away all disobedient voices in the court. Then establish the emperor's own power, and if you don't have a little vision as a courtier at this time, then you should get out. Although you can't figure it out as a subordinate, it's called figuring out the holy will, but as a person promoted by the saint, you naturally have to be consistent with the saint, so you have to be clear about the emperor's meaning, so you have to grasp this degree well. ”
Wu Lu listened to Tuhai's analysis and suddenly realized that he had been taught. Then he said, "Then is the saint sure to win this time?" In fact, the question asked by Wu Lu is the question that all the Manchu high-level people are worried about. It can be said that many people oppose Kangxi's southward cutting of the feudal domain for this reason.
It is ridiculous that the Qing Dynasty has been in the customs for so many years, and there are still many people who are worried about being beaten out of the customs by the Han people, so when the Manchurians are officials, they often collect a lot of money, and they are not at all to settle down, these people are always ready to go out of the customs and go back to their hometown, so they are like squirrels who are about to enter the winter, crazy to save food, and can't wait to pocket all the good things they see, and the children of the Niu Hulu family that Fan Chengmo met before are this kind of mentality, they have no confidence to stay in this land, It's like a frightened bird.
Therefore, many people choose to compromise on the issue of the three feudatories, they are worried that if they really fight, they don't know if the imperial court can win, so when Kangxi proposed to cut the feudal domain, they were very worried that they would not be able to win the battle if they were annoyed by the three feudatories, and they would have to go back to their hometown to farm. Therefore, when Kangxi raised this matter, he was very opposed. It can be said that there is almost no one in the court who supports Kangxi.
On the bright side, only Mingzhu Suo Etu and others support them, but these people were all promoted by Kangxi himself, not to mention that they are now just a small official and can't affect the government, but without the support of others, these two people are the highest-ranking people among the people who support Kangxi.
But when Tuhai was reused by Kangxi, Mingzhu and Suo Etu were not very conspicuous, after all, in the face of Tuhai, an important minister of the two dynasties, the two of them were not important figures at all. This is also the reason why Kangxi treats Tuhai very preferentially.
Tu Hai was asked this question by Wu Lu, and he didn't know how to answer it. However, after Kangxi asked him for support, Tuhai began to collect news from the three feudatories, so he had something in front of him these days.
Although it is a bit impulsive to act like this today, the old man still thinks that the decision of the Holy One is feasible. Don't talk about others, just talk about Wu Sangui in the three domains, do you think he will be opposed? ”
Wu Lu's face was a little ugly when he heard this, and said, "Probably not!" Isn't Wu Sangui's son Wu Yingxiong already married to Princess Jianning! Moreover, Wu Shifan and Wu Shilin are both princesses and sisters-in-law, with royal blood, Wu Sangui should not risk the world's disapproval to rebel! Although Wu Lu didn't think that Wu Sangui would rebel, his weak tone had already exposed the fact that he had no confidence.
Tu Hai watched Wu Lu say a lie that he didn't believe, and said, "You see, even if you know that Wu Sangui is against you, will the court not know?" It's just that the princes of the imperial court covered their ears and stole the bell, thinking that Wu Sangui would not rebel, and the saint was in such a hurry to cut the feudal domain for this reason. And you are not in the court now, and you don't know that there is no silver in the treasury now! And Wu Sangui has to ask the court for tens of millions of taels of silver every year, which is equivalent to more than half of the taxes collected by the court every year, but if it is given to the three feudatories, the court will not need silver! ”
"So even if the people in the court don't want to fight this war, Wu Sangui can't do it! And what kind of marriage with the royal family you are talking about has worked? Not to mention that Wu Sangui only has such a son, and his grandson is only Wu Shifan and Wu Shilin, if Wu Sangui wins at that time, they may be the future emperor and prince, which is much better than sending people under the fence now! ”
Wu Lu was speechless, and he also knew that it was imperative to cut the feudal domain this time, but since Wu Sangui was bound to rebel, how his family could obtain greater benefits from the middle was the most important.
He said: "Big brother, since this is the case, then I will be ready for this war, and I can also benefit from this war when the time comes." ”
Tu Haidao: "Of course this is necessary, but you also have to pay attention to safety, if there are no people, then there will be nothing." ”
Wu Lu nodded, but Wu Lu suddenly remembered something and said, "Big brother, do you remember the dream that Yao'er said?" Now it seems that there are a lot of things that can be right! ”
Tu Hai was shocked: "You say everything Yao'er said again!" "Although Tu Hai knew that Yun Yao had a strange dream, he didn't pay much attention to it, but now that he thinks about it, there are a lot of things that Yao'er said are the same as the truth.
Wu Lu told Tu Hai all the things that Yun Yao had said at the beginning, Tu Hai sat dumbfounded after listening to Wu Lu's words, and did not move for a long time, Tu Hai was already speechless in shock.
Tu Hai didn't know why Yun Yao had such a dream, Wu Lu was not as good as Tu Hai, Tu Hai had been immersed in the court for many years, and naturally found that Yun Yao said a lot of things that were discussed in the court, even Wu Lu didn't know the inside story, and now he learned the secret from his niece that only a few people knew, and Tu Hai couldn't help but be shocked.
Tu Hai is now a little skeptical about Yun Yao's dream, could it be that his niece really got a chance? Tu Hai's heart was a little hot when he thought of this. Tu Hai is an ancient person after all, so if modern people know Yun Yao's experience, they often guess that Yun Yao has crossed over or been reborn, but in the eyes of the ancients, people who can get such a great opportunity are absolutely invaluable.
As for Tu Hai's suspicion that Yun Yao is a ghost, Tu Hai said that he still knows his niece, except for Yun Yao who has matured a lot since the draft, the others are no different from the previous Yun Yao, so Tu Hai did not suspect that Yun Yao was a lonely ghost at all.
Wu Lu saw that Tu Hai had been sitting still, a little worried, and said, "Big brother, what are you thinking!" ”
Tu Hai saw Wu Lu's worried eyes a little suddenly, but thinking that Yun Yao might be unspeakably expensive in the future, after all, this matter was just his guess, and even if it was true, Wu Lu's city was likely to be discovered, so Tu Hai didn't tell Wu Lu about this guess.
"It's nothing, you just said that Yao'er dreamed that Fan Jigong Kangxi was killed by Geng Jingzhong in the fifteenth year?" Tu Hai said solemnly.
"That's true, according to Yao'er, Fan Jigong was captured while serving as the governor of Fujian, and was killed by Geng Jingzhong without surrendering." Wu Lu replied.
"In this case, it seems that it is not appropriate to let Fan Jigong go to the post of governor of Fujian." Tuhai thought.
Wu Lu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Tu Hai's words: "Could it be that what Yao'er said is true?" Big brother, Fan Jigong is really the governor of Fujian. ”
Tu Hai said with a solemn face: "That's true, but the court is still discussing this matter." But remember not to let anyone know about this matter, otherwise Yao'er will be in danger! ”
When Wu Lu saw Tu Hai's expression, he also restrained the joy on his face, and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I won't reveal anything about this matter to others." ”
Tu Hai nodded when he saw this, and didn't say anything more!
