lied to Kangxi

Chapter 390
Today's capital city is no longer what it was before Yuzhu left.

Now, members of the Eighth Master Party have risen in the court.

The eighth man is in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, the fourteenth man is in charge of the Ministry of War, and the ninth man is in charge of Guanglu Temple.Even the idiot old ten is in charge of Honglu Temple.

The household department is still in charge of the old fourth, who happens to be Yuzhu's immediate boss again.

The current Minister of the Ministry of Households, Mu Helun, whose surname is Xitara, is Manchurian in the Xianglan Banner. He was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Errands can never be finished, Yu Zhu came out of the palace and went straight back to Long Mansion.

Longkodo happened to be at home.

When Yu Zhu handed the sign into the palace, he had already received the order in the yamen of the infantry commander.

The father and son hadn't seen each other for more than a year, so they ordered the cook to prepare a table, and the father and son sat opposite each other and began to drink heavily.

Longkodo drank three glasses of wine, but didn't eat a bite of food.

Yuzhu knew it, and in his father's heart, he was not very happy.

That's right, as soon as Yuzhu returned to Beijing, he snatched Longkodo's real power seat again.This matter, no matter who it is on, how can I feel at ease?
General Jilin, although he is a top-ranking local emperor of Jilin, he was caught by the military and government.

However, in Jilin, the weather is cold and the land is sparsely populated.Even if special products such as ginseng and mink are piled up like mountains, they cannot be transported into the pass.

Why?

Hey, the leather goods and ginseng from Jilin have all been smuggled into the customs, you let General Shengjing drink the northwest wind?

It's just that this kind of old concept is seriously outdated in Yuzhu.

Yuzhu didn't make a sound, and stayed with Longkodo, drinking ten glasses of wine in a row.

When Longkodo began to pick up vegetables, Yuzhu said slowly: "Ama, the big ship supervised by Cao Yin is about to be built. When the time comes, after the big ship goes out to sea, go to Jilin. Loaded with centuries-old Korean ginseng, sable fur and other good things, they are directly shipped to Dagukou. Hehe, grandson of General Shengjing, even if he wants to eat black, he can only eat your fart."

Long Ke was stunned, and after careful consideration, he immediately understood what Yu Zhu meant.

Tianjin Wei is the old territory of Longkodo, and the governor of Tongzhou is Zhao Donghe, Yuzhu's disciple.

After Longkodo thought about this level clearly, the depression in his heart immediately dissipated a lot.

After all, they are father and son, no matter how uncomfortable Longkodo feels, he can't beat Yuzhu, right?

Such a good son, Longkoduo felt sorry for him too late, so how could he be willing to fight?
This meat is always rotten in the Tong family's own pot!
Longkodo lost the real power in Jingli, but because he monopolized Jilin's mountain products, he can trade by sea and continue to make a lot of money
Between power and money, Longkodo finally got something, and felt more comfortable psychologically.

"Well, the emperor is old, and his memory is not as good as before, and he often forgets things." After Longkodo's heart calmed down, he began to tell Yu Zhu the truth about the power circle in Beijing.

Between father and son, as long as the small grievances are dealt with in time, why not discuss it?
Yu Zhu nodded. He was far away in Hunan, and naturally he was not as careful and thorough in observing the dynamics of the court as Long Keduo.

You know, Longkodo gradually climbed from the third-class bodyguard to the throne of the nine-door admiral just by trying to figure out what he wanted.

Objectively speaking, Longkodo's analysis of Kangxi has extremely high reference value for Yuzhu.

"Besides, the emperor has recently obviously had the idea of ​​uplifting the third master and fighting against the eighth master." Long Kedo's words were actually only half correct.

Longkodo is a matter of the Si Ye Party, and he has never told Yuzhu. He thought Yuzhu didn't know his background.

Yuzhu was clear in his heart. After the second abolished the prince, the reason why Kangxi wanted to promote the eighth and third children was still the emperor's mentality of checks and balances of power.

In today's court, the third child, the fourth child and the eighth child all have opportunities, but no one is sure.

This is obviously Kangxi's brilliance.

However, the disadvantages of doing so are also obvious.

In order not to expose the identity of the new crown prince, Kangxi must have the following scene when the power is distributed: the third child has gained more real power, and the fourth and eighth children will follow suit.

If the eighth child is unlucky, the third and fourth child will also lose their power.

So on and so forth!

It can be said that a single hair can move the whole body!
However, before the wine was finished, someone from the household department was sent.

The person who came was Zhong Nahai, a doctor from the household department.

When Na Hai saw Yu Zhu, he hurriedly saluted him, and said respectfully, "Young Master Si Nong, Prince Yong, who is in charge of the Ministry, has ordered you to come to the yamen for important discussions."

Hubu Shangshu, also known as Da Si Nong or Da Situ.The servant of the household department, followed closely, is also known as: Shao Si Nong or Shao Situ.

After Yuzhu heard the words, he couldn't help laughing dumbly, this fourth child is just short-tempered.

He had just returned home, before he had time to deal with a lot of housework, the fourth child was eager to ask him to go to the yamen to do errands.

Come on, if the fourth brother invites you, even if Yuzhu is reluctant, he will go over and deal with it.

The fourth child is not a very talkative guy.

In terms of details, the fourth child actually pays special attention to it.If there is a slight mistake, it is usually fine, but when he wants to punish you, he will be used as evidence of crime.

Yuzhu was originally an old fritter in the officialdom.

After so many years, he has accompanied Kangxi and dealt with the princes and elder brothers, and he has long understood an objective law.

Basically, great people are often prone to fall into the indiscretion of details.

However, Zhang Tingyu, the elder of the three dynasties, was an exception, which happened to give Yuzhu an excellent example.

In a word, keep your mouth shut and never talk nonsense, and you must be cautious in everything you do.

Only when you are in the game can you see it more clearly!
Yuzhu has always believed that if Zhang Tingyu in his later years did not make "faint tricks" and took the initiative to ask Qianlong for the noble treatment of the Taimiao, he would probably die without a place to bury him.

In fact, Zhang Tingyu saw through Qianlong's true intention of purging the elders of the old dynasty and taking sole control of the country, so he deliberately polluted himself and took the initiative to reveal his flaws.

Otherwise, with Qianlong's ruthlessness, he would have killed even his relatives, let alone Zhang Tingyu, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty?

Although Zhang Tingyu was severely hammered in his later years, he was able to die of old age on the couch, which is considered a good death.Moreover, because of his knowledge and interest, Qianlong finally rewarded him and deserved special treatment from the Taimiao.

After all, Qianlong was a super ruthless political machine disguised as the emperor.

Long Kedo waved his hand and said, "Go back and tell the fourth brother that my father and son haven't seen each other for a long time, and they are drinking, so go to the Yamen some other day."

Yuzhu shook his head secretly, my dear father, you old man, in history, you lost your life because you misunderstood the fourth child!
"You went back and reported to Prince Yong, and said, after I accompany Ama to fulfill my son's filial piety, I will go to the Household Department Yamen to report to the director." Yu Zhu's words can be described as exquisite and seamless.

At the risk of offending the fourth child, Yu Zhu wanted to accompany Long Ke to fulfill his filial piety. How could the third child of Long, who is his father, have any dissatisfaction?

At the same time, after the fourth child learned of Yu Zhu's reply, not only would he not be able to blame Yu Zhu, but he would think that Yu Zhu is kind, pure and filial, and can be reciprocated!

In this age of morality and filial piety, if Yuzhu is not even filial to his own father, how can he be believed to be loyal to the king?
Thousands of miles of long embankments were destroyed by ant nests, which means paying attention to details.

However, Longkodo is also an authentic and sensible person.Soon, he took the initiative to end the family banquet, and let Yuzhu go out to the household department.

The Ministry of Households is still in the old place east of Qipan Street, with the Ministry of Officials to the north and the Ministry of Rites to the south.

After returning to Beijing, Yu Zhu could no longer sit in the eight-carriage sedan chair.

Because he was already a well-known second-rank official with a red top, he changed to a small sedan chair carried four times and went straight to the yamen of the household department.

As soon as Yuzhu appeared in front of the door of the household department, all the guards guarding the door knelt down on one knee, saluted him respectfully, and said in unison: "Little ones, knock on the head of the department hall."

"That's all." Yuzhu just slightly raised his hand, gave a faint order, and walked into the yamen of the household department with square steps.

There is a huge difference in status between him and the guards, even a simple exchange of pleasantries is a matter of degrading one's status.

When he entered the household department again, Yuzhu was already a court official with great decision-making power, completely separated from the executive class.

Among the six departments, Shangshu and Shilang are collectively referred to as Tangguan.Langzhong and Yuanwailang are officials.

In order to distinguish it from the governor-general with the title of Shangshu, the Shangshu without the title of a bachelor generally calls itself the headquarters, and the word tang is omitted.

Correspondingly, in order to reflect the meaning of respecting the Shangshu, the servants generally call themselves the main department hall.

In the officialdom, the official senior level is really crushing people.

When a subordinate calls himself, there are more tang characters and less tang characters. The subtleties reveal the huge difference between whether you are mature and sensible, or whether you not only offended your boss, but were also treated as a joke.

According to the rules of the imperial court, Yuzhu, the left servant who is full of shortages, is equivalent to the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance of the Soviet Union, in charge of financial expenditure and reimbursement matters of various yamen in Beijing.

Today's Yuzhu has so much real power that people dare not look at him head-on!

The official office of the fourth child is still near the gate of the household department yamen.

As soon as Yuzhu arrived, the fourth child immediately received him.

As soon as they met, Yuzhu saluted with a long bow, and said very respectfully: "I pay my respects to Prince Yong."

The fourth child glanced at Yuzhu and said with a smile: "Forget it. Cousin, how many times have I told you that when you come to my place, don't pay attention to those vain etiquette."

The current Yuzhu is different from the past.He not only served as a border minister, but also as a hall official of the household department, and also as a minister of the South Study Room.

Objectively speaking, with Yuzhu's current status, he is already considered a proper official of the imperial court.

Among them, the Minister of Nanshufang, as the predecessor of the Minister of Military Aircraft, is particularly important.

In name, the status of Minister of the South Study Room is far inferior to that of a cabinet scholar.However, its influence on the decision-making of the emperor substantially surpassed that of the Grand Scholars.

The logic is not complicated.

The Minister of the South Study Room stayed outside the Qianqing Gate, and he could see the emperor several times almost every day.

As for the cabinet scholars, it is likely that they only see the emperor three or five times a month.

Of course, important ministers like Wu Yan and Li Guangdi, who are university scholars and ministers of the South Study Room, are the real prime ministers of this dynasty!

After politely meeting the ceremony, Yu Zhu sat down on the fourth child's head without any restraint, and took the initiative to order the fourth child's personal servant, Gou'er: "I'm full of wine, my mouth is dry, Gou'er!" Hurry up and get a pot of tea."

"Hey." The dog didn't ask the fourth child, and went straight down to order tea.

Gou'er dared to make decisions on his own, because he knew that not only Yuzhu was very close to the fourth child, but also Yuzhu's position in the fourth child's heart was extremely important.

Maybe it's because Yu Zhu didn't look outside, or maybe it's some other reason, the fourth child's smile looks much more natural than before.

Yuzhu and the fourth child have long been acquaintances.

Faced with the embarrassing smile of the fourth child, Yu Zhu felt that it would be more natural to face the original paralyzed face.

The fourth child is a guy who doesn't like small talk.

Now that Yu Zhu has come, Lao Si Shun talked about Longkodo's health, and then took the initiative to enter the topic.

"Cousin, you are not an outsider, so I'll just say it straight. I don't know who laid the maggots in the dark, but Khan Ama wants to exempt the whole world from money and food for a year." The fourth child gritted his teeth and was so angry hum.

Yuzhu understands as soon as he hears it, who else?

Either the third child or the eighth child!
Kangxi is getting older, and he is getting more and more happy, and he likes to hear the word auspicious more than before.

The money and food in the world are generally exempted, and the grassroots will also get some small profits.However, princes and relatives, big bureaucrats, and big landlords benefit the most, so naturally they are extraordinarily diligent in chanting.

However, Kangxi is Tu Shengjun's false name, he is just talking about it.The fourth son, the prince who is in charge of the household department, is going to break his legs and worry about his heart.

But the problem is that the annual fiscal revenue of this dynasty is only more than 2000 million taels of silver.

Universal exemption of money and food in the world refers to the exemption of land tax and land rent, not the exemption of all taxes.

Among the fiscal revenue of the Ministry of Households, land tax accounted for more than [-]% of the bulk.

In the blink of an eye, the fourth child's hand will lose more than 1000 million taels of income next year out of thin air. Who can bear it?
Yu Zhu was not in a hurry to answer the fourth question, he thought about it, and asked the fourth calmly: "Cousin, I don't know, what did Mr. Dai say?"

Dai Duo is the most powerful schemer next to the fourth child, Yu Zhu's first thought was to listen to Dai Duo's analysis.

"Hey, he's not good at managing money." The fourth child was straightforward enough, and immediately revealed the truth that Dai Duo didn't understand finances and taxes.

Then, Yuzhu called out the names of a few more people, and the fourth child shook his head and said, "They don't understand these things."

Seeing the fourth brother staring at his face with piercing eyes, Yu Zhu understood completely.

The fourth child didn't want to leave room for Yuzhu to shirk at all, but hoped that he would take the initiative to persuade Kangxi to change his mind and never let the treasury fall into too big a financial hole.

In Yuzhu's mind, he actually already had a solution.However, he deliberately frowned, pretending to be racking his brains.

Because Yu Zhu didn't want the fourth child to see that he actually knew the truth about Kangxi's temper very well.

If you don't try to figure out the holy will, you will definitely not be able to do your job well.

If you figure it out too clearly, but commit a huge taboo, this is called false speculation, and your head will move sooner or later!

Grasping the scale well and not being noticed by anyone is the way of Yuzhu's self-protection!
