The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 66 Who is the center? (asking for monthly tickets)

Erlunte was the son of General Fonila of Xi'an and originally belonged to the Bordered Red Banner Manchu.

When the Three Feudatories were pacified, Fu Ni Lai not only defended Hanzhong, but also died of illness while in office.

Therefore, Kangxi issued an imperial decree at that time to bring the Elunte into the Manchu Plain White Banner.

Not to mention Shi Shipiu, his entire family, starting from his father Shi Lang, all benefited from Kangxi's favor.

The Shi family was not only promoted to the upper three banners, but also obtained the hereditary title of the third-class Marquis of Jinghai. Compared with Hong Chengchou's third-class light cavalry commander, they should be content.

Erlunte was very good at leading troops in battle, but he didn't have many brains. Shi Shipiu was different.

Shi Shipiu, who was a smart man, was relieved but also felt a little lost when he saw that Yinyou was very cold towards them.

Since the recovery of Taiwan, the Shi family's political treatment has begun to go downhill.

However, due to the inherent deficiency of the Han people in raising the flag, the Shi family did not dare to make reckless bets and engage in political speculation in secret.

If a family that is supported by the Han people loses once, it will most likely be devastated and never be able to make a comeback.

No matter what era it is, if you don't take sides in advance, you will never get a share of the big pie of political benefits.

This is the explicit rule of the temple game, and it cannot be changed by anyone's will!

Yinyu adhered to the principle that talking too much will lead to mistakes, and stood silently with his hands behind his back.

If he doesn't speak, who dares to talk too much?
For a moment, the entire official ship dock was silent.

About a cup of tea later, Wang Guozheng's official ship slowly approached the shore.

Seeing this, Yinyou immediately took a step forward and slowly walked towards the side of the boat.

Seeing Yinyou move, the Tongzhou officials led by Tulihai also walked towards the boat.

However, Tulihai knew the rules very well, and his right shoulder was always one body length behind Yinyu. When Yinyu walked fast, he followed. When Yinyu slowed down, he also slowed down.

At this time, the gangplank on the boat had been brought ashore, and a middle-aged man dressed in brocade quickly got off the boat.

The man was surprised to find that on the dock, there were three second-rank officials with red hats, standing on the left and right of Yinyu like stars surrounding the moon.

There is no need to ask more questions. Anyone with a little common sense in officialdom can see that Yinyu is standing in the C position of the biggest star.

Who would have thought that the middle-aged man had just taken two steps towards Yinyou when he was stopped by Yinyou's guard captain Chongshan.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but body search is my duty. Please forgive me." Although Chongshan's words were very polite, his attitude towards body search was unusually firm.

After searching the body carefully and confirming that there was no murder weapon, Chongshan stroked the hilt of the knife, watched the middle-aged man, and walked towards Yinyou.

When he was ten feet away from Yinyou, Chongshan turned around, stroked his knife, and stared at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, knowing that this was an order for him to stop.

"Your servant Wang Sheng, greetings to the fifteenth master." The middle-aged man's knees softened and he knelt down to pay his respects.

Yinyu couldn't help but frown. His biological mother, Concubine Mi, had once introduced the Wang family in detail. His eldest uncle was named Wang Sheng.

However, the Wang family did not raise the flag, and they are still civilians, not bannermen.

Therefore, calling oneself a slave was inappropriate for common people and could easily make one a laughing stock in the capital.

"Everyone, my uncle has been living in the countryside for a long time. Please forgive me for my impoliteness!" Yinyu clasped his hands and bowed to express his apology. Tulihai quickly bent down and said with a smile: "Fifteenth Master, let alone your uncle, even I need the etiquette teachings of the inner court stewards from time to time, so as not to be disrespectful in front of the emperor."

Yinyou nodded slightly and smiled gently at Tulihai. Tulihai's tone of helping Wang Sheng to shirk responsibility was just right.

After Yinyu and Tulihai sang the same tune, anyone who dared to bring up Wang Sheng’s misbehavior would mean that they wanted to become Yinyu’s mortal enemy!
Today's Yinyou is no longer the little prince with a transparent background!
The brother-in-law of the current crown prince, the assistant prince of the Ministry of Revenue, the biological son of a favorite concubine, no matter what his identity is, it is enough to intimidate all the unqualified villains.

What’s more, these three identities are actually superimposed on each other!
Have everyone present thought clearly about the serious consequences of offending Yinyou?
After resolving the problem, Yinyu walked up to Wang Sheng, stretched out his arms, and helped him up personally.

"Uncle, you have come all the way here, thank you for your hard work."

Yinyou ignored the confused Wang Sheng, straightened his clothes, bowed deeply to the ground, and met Wang Sheng in an extremely formal manner.

"My nephew Yinyu pays respect to my uncle."

According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty Code, if the prince really has gold under his knees, he must stand and be worshipped, except for the ancestral tablets, the empress dowager, the emperor, the crown prince, the crown princess and palace concubines above the rank of concubine!
Wang Sheng had previously roughly learned the rules of paying respects to the prince, but when the moment came, his mind was confused and he forgot everything and just stood there in a daze.

On this side, if Wang Sheng didn't say no, Yinyu could only keep bowing to the ground. Otherwise, it would be considered disrespectful to the elders.

Fortunately, Wu Lin was quite clever. He immediately took two steps forward, grabbed Wang Sheng's arm and pinched it very hard.

Wang Sheng finally came to his senses after feeling the pain, and quickly stretched out his arm to support Yinyou and stand up straight.

"Uncle, how are grandparents in good health?" Yinyu knew that Wang Sheng was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, so he quickly picked up a topic that he could easily answer and began with polite, homely greetings.

"Thank you for your concern, Master Fifteen. My father and mother are in good health. But my father caught a cold on the road and has a cough..."

Talking about his parents, Wang Sheng's originally very nervous mood gradually relaxed.

Yinyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no bigger mistakes were made and he managed to smooth over the situation.

"My dear uncle, my mother has given an oral order, ordering me, your nephew, to go on board the ship to pay respects to your grandparents and all the elders." Yinyu was worried that Wang Sheng would do something weird again, so he simply avoided the eyes and ears of everyone and met his relatives on the boat.

Wang Sheng didn't dare to say anything and obediently led Yinyou onto the boat.

After entering the cabin, Yinyu was shocked to find that the cabin was full of people kneeling.

"I'm Wang Guozheng, the junior minister of the Guanglu Temple and the deputy minister of the Fengchenyuan of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I'm here to pay my respects to the Fifteenth Lord." After all, Wang Guozheng had served as a county magistrate for many years and was quite familiar with the strict etiquette, and he knew all the rules perfectly.

Yinyu walked over quickly, personally helped Wang Guozheng up, and said with a smile: "Grandfather, why do you have to be so polite?"

After Wang Guozheng stood firmly, Yinwei straightened his clothes, bowed deeply to the ground, and saluted deeply.

"Grandson Yinyu, I pay my respects to my grandfather."

Wang Guozheng was obviously frightened. After a moment's silence, he quickly knelt on the ground to return the greeting, saying repeatedly: "No, no, Master Fifteen, please don't shorten my life!"

Yinyu smiled and said, "There is no outsider here, so what can't I do?"

There is really no need to be too restrained and falsely polite at private gatherings among relatives.

After all, Wang Guozheng had been the county magistrate for many years. He could only try his best to cooperate with the approachable people of the big shots and never disobey them. Otherwise, he would be ignorant!

Under Wang Guozheng's introduction, Yinyou first paid a visit to his grandmother Huang, and then to his uncles and aunts in turn.

What was somewhat surprising was that Yinyou’s two uncles also came to the capital.

PS: If there are more than 4500 monthly tickets, there will be additional updates!
