lied to Kangxi

Chapter 590 Too much oil and water

When Gu Badai was alive, relying on his incorruptibility, he had a hard and foul temper, and he dared to speak frankly.

As a result, except for the fourth son, the upright official Gu Badai offended almost all the nobles including the old emperor.

Kangxi was still a capable emperor, he obviously didn't like Gu Badai, in order to set up a memorial archway for upright officials, he still pinched his nose and promoted him to be Minister of Rites all the way.

To be honest, the old emperor's treatment of Gu Badai, an upright official, was more than [-] times better than Jiajing's who almost killed Hai Rui?
Of course, Gu Badai is the prince's teacher, and he took a lot of advantage.

No matter how bad the Tar Qing was, no matter how bad it was, there was one advantage that was worth mentioning, and that was the special preferential treatment for the imperial teachers.

After the Xinyou coup, four of the Eight Ministers of Gu Ming headed by Sushun were killed by Cixi and Guiziliu.

Among the eight ministers of Gu Ming, Du Han, the minister of military aircraft, has indeed helped Su Lao Liu to do a lot of bad things.

However, because his father Du Shoutian was the teacher of Emperor Wenzong Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty, Du Han was only demoted from the official position, and no further investigation was carried out.

In the year of the Reform Movement of [-], before the Empress Dowager Cixi wanted to attack Emperor Guangxu, she deliberately demoted Master Weng out of Beijing, which was regarded as letting him live.

After Master Weng returned to Changshu, although he had to go to the Changshu County Government to report his thoughts on a regular basis, it was very embarrassing.

However, compared to Zhang Tingyu who dared not say a word, Master Weng's situation is still much stronger.

Gu Badai is the teacher of the fourth child, and he has nothing to do with Yuzhu, so it is impossible for Yuzhu to stand up and speak for Gu Yan.

According to the practice of the imperial court, Zuodu Yushi personally impeached officials, even the old emperor, could only choose one of the two.

Either, Xu Yuanmeng stepped down, or Gu Yan was dismissed.

Originally, it was a very simple multiple-choice question, but the old emperor hesitated for a while.

With his hesitation, Yuzhu, the caring person, saw a hint of it.

Well, the old emperor is probably worried about the feelings of the fourth child, right?

However, the old emperor quickly made a decision to leave Gu Yan's job and various positions.

It was this decision that made Yuzhu see the old emperor's flaws.

Up to this moment, the old emperor probably still hasn't made up his mind, who should he choose to take over the throne?
After the court was over, Yuzhu and the others bowed together and sent the old emperor's shoulders away.

After the old emperor walked away, Yu Zhu just raised his head, but saw Song Zhu staring at him coldly.

With the conscience of heaven and earth, Yuzhu never had the intention of competing for the chief scholar.

When the moon is full, it loses, and when the water is full, it overflows.

Yuzhu is a bachelor of the Ministry of Management, and Longkodo is the admiral of the Nine Schools who holds military power. It must be admitted that the old emperor has already trusted Tong's father and son very much.

If he wants to seek a higher position of power, he will be on the old road of the second child, Yinfeng!
It's a pity that rumors are fiercer than tigers, and Song Zhu is very concerned about Yuzhu's favor, always trying to pick Yuzhu's thorns.

However, Yuzhu is not a junior in the officialdom, but an old bureaucrat who has undergone professional training.

The basic quality of an old bureaucrat must be calm!

Song Zhu's cold eyes were completely ignored by Yuzhu, he just pretended not to see the strong hostility.

After returning to the cabinet hall, Yuzhu just sat for a while, drank half a cup of tea, and then went out of the palace and returned to the household department.

Hubu is Yuzhu's chassis, and here is his speech.

After reviewing the official document at hand, it was almost time for lunch.

Yuzhu put down the pen in his hand, cleaned his hands, and went out to the kitchen of the yamen.

The so-called kitchen, also known as the public kitchen, is the internal canteen in the yamen.

In today's imperial court, every yamen, without exception, has kitchens.

However, the kitchen and administrative office expenses of each yamen need to be collected at the meal bank of the household department every month.

In other words, the food and banking department of the household department is the logistics service group of each yamen in Beijing.

After Yuzhu took charge of the household department, he knew that there were many disadvantages in the rice bank department, but he deliberately did not touch it.

The reason is actually very simple, in the subordinate organizations of the Ministry of Accounting and Banking Department, it can be said that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
Among the various yamen in the capital, the household department has the most officials, more than 400 people.

It is logical that the scale of the household department's kitchen is also the largest in Beijing.

Not to mention anything else, in the kitchen of the household department, there are more than thirty cooks who are in charge of cooking.

In addition, there are more than ten people in charge of purchasing.

According to Wendner's investigation, among the cooks and purchasing managers alone, there are quite a few people with good hands and eyes.

With Yuzhu's family background and power, he is really not afraid of these people making trouble.

It's just that Yuzhu's plan is very big, and all the forces that can be united must be united. There is no need to offend the backers behind these people for the time being.

The thing about the Qing Dynasty is to be in harmony with the light.

Besides, in the Qing Dynasty, corruption and corruption appeared to be blooming everywhere, and it was a succession of corruption.

As long as the old emperor is still alive, any anti-corruption actions will not only be futile in the end, but will cause fire.

Let's just talk about the fourth child. The imperial court had a big deficit, and the old emperor sent the fourth child to be responsible for recovering the arrears.

As a result, under the protection and connivance of the old emperor, the fourth child not only did not ask for much money back, but also became famous because he had offended too many people.

To put it bluntly, anti-corruption is such a difficult task that the highest authority must be determined to do it, so that corrupt officials can be slightly restrained.

For example, Zhu Chongba's violent skinning and shaming really frightened most corrupt officials.

Yuzhu is definitely not willing to do things that are thankless.

With his hands behind his back, Yu Zhu walked slowly into the kitchen near the back door of the household department, accompanied by Yang Sen and Wendner.

In front of the door of the kitchen, officials from the household department lined up to get food.

The immediate boss came to the kitchen suddenly, and everyone was stunned.

You have a clever ghost, and your reaction is relatively fast, so you quickly bow down and salute.

"Glory to Yu Zhongtang!"

"Greetings to Yuzhongtang." The voices of greetings are endless.

It was the first time for Yu Zhu to come to the kitchen, and when he went inside, he saw, good guy, the four long tables were filled with all kinds of fried dishes.

How should I put it, Yuzhu managed the imperial dining room in the palace anyway, and the comparison between the two is actually almost the same.

Yang Sen was in charge of the food and banking department, seeing Yuzhu glanced at him, Yang Sen quickly stood up and said loudly, "Where is the manager?"

"Little ones please pay respects to the Yuzhong Hall."

Good guy, I saw a large group of people kneeling in front of Yuzhu.

Yuzhu sighed secretly, the canteen of the public house is full of oil and water, but it actually raises so many idlers?

After walking around the long table full of dishes, even with the extravagance of jade pillars, it must be admitted that there are everything that flies in the sky, swims in the sea, and crawls on the ground.

"Oh, it's too extravagant. From next month, the money for the kitchen will be halved." Yuzhu really couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply made his attitude clear.

"Yu Zhongtang, absolutely not!"

At this juncture, someone took the initiative to stand up and openly refuted Yuzhu.
