lied to Kangxi

Chapter 360

Before Xiaqianliang, Yuzhu rushed to Qianqing Palace, and Norob was waiting for him in the duty room.

Seeing Yuzhu coming, Norob joked, "I thought, you are greedy for the beautiful wives and concubines at home, why don't you come?"

Yu Zhu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Nuo, I'm a step late, I'll make you laugh."

According to the system, the imperial ministers should stay in the gate of Qianqing on shifts.

After completing the handover, Norob hurried out of the palace, and Yu Zhu took over the power of the royal guard tonight.

As a former imperial minister, Yuzhu didn't need to lead the guards to patrol inside and outside the Qianqing Gate, that was the job of the first-class guards.

However, it is Yuzhu's duty to inspect the Qianqing Palace and go outside the emperor's bedroom.

Ever since he became the imperial minister, Yuzhu's treatment in Qianqing Palace has also increased accordingly.

Just outside the value room, stood two young eunuchs.As long as Yuzhu is on duty in the palace, they will take care of daily life.

To enjoy the treatment of eunuchs, according to the routine, it can only be a special specification of the clan with "[-] points" and above.

However, the Imperial Minister is really too important, and it is related to the big issue of whether Kangxi can sleep peacefully.

Therefore, the several former imperial ministers who are currently in office have received a special order to enjoy the super high treatment of the two young eunuchs.

It's not yet time for inspection, Yu Zhu is reading under the lamp when Xiao Ye Zi arrives with a red lacquered food box.

"Reporting to Yuhou, I have brought you a newly prepared supper from the dining room." Xiao Yezi tactfully tied down Qian, and the address of Yuzhu was changed from the former manager to Yuhou.

Xiao Yezi, that is an old acquaintance.

When Yuzhu first joined the South Study Room on duty, the little eunuch who provided meals was Xiao Yezi.

In just a few years, Yuzhu has become the immediate boss of the eunuchs, and Xiao Yezi is still a rank and gradeless little eunuch who provides meals.

Yu Zhu put down the book in his hand, and asked Xiao Ye Zi with a smile: "Still carrying the meal?"

Xiao Ye Zi has been receiving rewards from Yuzhu for a long time, and her relationship is unusual, so she sighed and said: "To tell you the truth, Yuhou, the young one entered the palace late, and his family background is weak, so he can't afford money, so he should respect the masters well. "

Yu Zhu nodded and smiled knowingly.

In this boundary of the palace, in the eyes of the eunuchs, only money is recognized.

The eunuch system in the palace is intricate and dazzling.

It was only after Yuzhu became the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that he got a general idea of ​​the eunuchs' situation.

In a word, those with high rank have no real power, and those with real power are low-ranked.

In charge of the respect room of all eunuchs, Zhao Chang, the fourth-rank supervisor, is the highest-ranking eunuch in the palace.

However, he looks majestic, but has no real power.

Liang Jiugong, the general manager of the Qianqing Palace, is only the guardian of the seventh rank, but he is the real head of eunuchs in the palace.

(Note: The official position of the eunuch in the Kangxi Dynasty is not determined from time to time. For the convenience of reading, the eunuch grade officially customized by the Yongzheng Dynasty is used. Hope you know.)
Xiao Ye Zi is the eunuch in Qianqing Palace, a proper person around the old emperor.

Even Yuzhu, who is powerful outside the palace, can only reward more money in private, and there is nothing else he can do.

After Xiao Yezi arranged the supper, Yuzhu still followed the old rules, and put an ingot of five taels of silver in the red lacquer food box.

This reward for silver has been around for a long time.It's just that it was only two taels at the time, but later it increased to five taels.

After eating supper, Yuzhu wiped his hands, washed his face, and arranged his official uniform, then led four second-class guards with swords and began to patrol the Qianqing Palace.

The focus of Yuzhu's patrol was not to guard against assassins, but to prevent fires.

After patrolling around, Yuzhu saw that the old emperor's bedroom was still lit, so he walked lightly to the door of the bedroom, stabbed down, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, let's get settled early. "

"Is it Yuzhu? Go ahead, I'll read the book again." Kangxi's order came from the bedroom.

"Hey." Yuzhu agreed and withdrew.

In the middle of the night, Yuzhu saw that the lights in Kangxi's bedroom were still on.

The night is too late, if Kangxi inside fell asleep with the lights on and was suddenly woken up, it would be disrespectful.

This time, Yuzhu didn't dare to go over to remind Kangxi, but quietly led the guards and retreated.

However, at the first moment of Yin's time, there was a sudden loud commotion from the Tihe Hall.

Yu Zhu, who was lying on the kang with all his clothes on, was not asleep, but was just resting with his eyes closed.

After hearing the police, Yuzhu stood up, took off the waist knife hanging on the wall, and opened the door to come out.

The guards under Yu Zhu were still calm and sticking to their posts.

The eunuchs and maids in the Qianqing Palace, because of the strict rules around the emperor, no one dared to shout and scream.

However, one after another, eunuchs from outside came to Qianqing's door, knocking on the door and yelling.

"The water has leaked, the Tihe Hall has leaked water, and the flames are burning."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's water."

In the palace, as long as one thousand taels is paid, no palace door is allowed to be opened without the emperor's special decree.

Yuzhu stood firmly on the steps in front of the Qianqing Palace, and shouted sharply: "I am here. The guards obey the order, no one is allowed to make loud noises, and anyone who dares to run around will be taken down and severely punished!"

"Hey." Yuzhu came out to preside over the overall situation, and the guards had a backbone, and they all obeyed orders and began to control the situation everywhere.

The situation in the Qianqing Palace was quickly brought under control, and the eunuchs and court ladies were all restrained in their respective rooms or lodgings.

However, the yelling outside the palace wall not only did not stop, but intensified.

Yuzhu reckoned that Kangxi, whose sleep quality was very poor, should have been awakened.

Therefore, Yuzhu handed over the waist knife in his hand to the accompanying guards, walked quickly outside Kangxi's bedroom, and said in a deep voice, "I report to the emperor, my servant Yuzhu, there is an urgent matter."

"Speak." Kangxi's displeased voice came from inside.

"Returning to the emperor, I heard that the Tihe Palace is flooded. It is said that the momentum is not small." In order to ensure that Kangxi could hear clearly, Yuzhu spoke not fast, almost uttering every word.

"Hmph, what does Ma Wu do?" Kangxi was obviously angry, and said sharply, "Come in."

"Hey." Yuzhu pushed the door open and entered the bedroom, only to see that Kangxi was wearing a bright yellow thin coat and was leaning on the pillow with one hand.

After Yuzhu entered, not only did he not panic at all, but he knelt down solemnly and kowtowed.

"The imperial minister is learning to walk, slave Yuzhu, I respectfully invite the emperor to be safe."

Kangxi took a deep look at Yuzhu, and then took out a golden order from under the bright yellow pillow, handed it to him, and ordered: "Go and get those dog slaves who are yelling outside. , took them all, and died with one stick."

"Hey." What the emperor said, Yuzhu could only do as he said, even if it was a dozen living lives.

There is no way, this is a cannibalistic society, and the imperial power is greater than the sky!

Just when Yuzhu was going backwards and wanted to go out, Kangxi said again: "Ma Wu has no courage to do things, and I will leave it to you to preside over the big fire fighting."

This time, Yuzhu didn't dare to receive the decree, but knelt back in front of Kangxi's imperial couch, kowtowed heavily, and said with a stiff neck: "Go back to the emperor, the fire fighting in the palace will be presided over by a special person, please forgive me for not daring to obey the decree." .”

Yuzhu didn't say it clearly, but what he meant was clear.

The minister is the former minister who leads the guards with swords. It is the only duty of the minister to protect the safety of the emperor.For other matters, you should invite Gao Ming.

Kangxi choked on Yu Zhu's hard support, rolled his eyes immediately, slapped the bed angrily and cursed: "Idiot, idiot, I'm so mad!"

Unexpectedly, Yuzhu resisted stubbornly, but refused to obediently go to put out the fire.

Kangxi was so angry that he trembled all over, but he also knew that Yuzhu was indeed a loyal guardian.

It is no longer a year or two for the monarch and his ministers to get along, but for several years.

Yuzhu was not Orondai, he rarely contradicted Kangxi in front of him.

However, once Yuzhu sticks to his own opinion, he will be a stubborn bull who is not afraid of death.

Kangxi gasped for a few breaths, suddenly laughed, and scolded angrily: "You idiot, you're so good at contradicting me. Hmph, you're not allowed to eat breakfast, get out."

"Hey." Kangxi didn't insist any more, Yuzhu accepted the order and retreated obediently.

After going out, Yuzhu took the golden cloak order as if I had come in person, and ordered the guards to open the gate of Qianqing Palace, and arrested all the eunuchs and maids who were shouting outside.

A total of seventeen eunuchs and court ladies were captured.

Yuzhu sent someone to find the people from the Punishment Department, and ordered them to gag the dozen or so eunuchs and maids, tie them to a long bench, and kill them all with sticks.

Although Kangxi didn't say the exact location of the execution, according to Yu Zhu's speculation, it should be in the square in front of the Qianqing Palace.

Well, these eunuchs and palace maids, with hair growing on their guts, dared to come to the gate of the Qianqing Palace to make a noise and yell without killing a large number of them, how could they warn the latecomers?

Moreover, execution in front of the Qianqing Palace will really have the effect of killing everyone!
So, in front of the gate of Qianqing Palace, more than a dozen long benches were placed, and an eunuch or court lady was tied to each stool.

Following Yuzhu's order, the execution eunuchs of the Punishment Department raised their heavy sticks high and slapped the eunuchs and maids hard on the buttocks.

Because Yu Zhu issued the death order, no one counted how many boards were beaten.

"Papa, papa..." The heavy stick hit the flesh body hard, making a frightening muffled sound.

Soon, bright red blood began to drip from under the bench.

As time passed, the scattered drops of blood gradually spread into streams of blood.

More than a dozen streams of blood flowed along the terrain, turning into thick blood snakes, gradually crawled to the lower ground, and gathered into a shocking spring of blood.

"Ka Ka Ka..." Accompanied by the sound of cracking bones one after another, it was obvious that the victim's buttocks and pelvis were all shattered, and he must not survive.

After the execution, the experienced personnel from the Punishment Division dragged away more than a dozen corpses with a cart, and prepared to send them to the mass graves outside the city.

"Director Liang, tell the people below to bring water and clean up the place." Yu Zhu called out twice, Liang Jiugong, whose face was as pale as paper and flustered, finally heard his order clearly.

"Hey." Liang Jiugong knelt down on one knee, and obediently accepted the order.

Wei Zhu, who was also watching the execution, couldn't help but smile coldly. Liang Jiugong, who was involved with the crown prince and the old eighth, was like a grasshopper after autumn. How long can he survive?
