lied to Kangxi

Chapter 761

At the six quarters of the hour (08:30), Yuzhu led the minister of the South Study House, and stood respectfully in front of the Qingxi Bookstore.

Looking at Yuzhu's back, Zhang Tingyu thought to himself, this guy's courage is really fat!
That's right, Yuzhu was very courageous, he led the team to meet the old emperor, and he came on the spot, not afraid of being late and being punished.

As long as the old emperor stays in the Changchun Garden, according to the usual practice, he will summon the ministers between the four quarters of the day (eight o'clock) and the eighth quarter of the day.

In the morning, the emperor summoned the chancellors with a very interesting title: called up.

Shout out, especially referring to the old emperor's small-scale summoning of important ministers.

Calling Daqi is to accept congratulations from officials of the fourth rank and above in Beijing on a formal occasion.

As we all know, in the Qing Dynasty, the fewer the number of people in the meeting, the faster the final decision can be made.

Conversely, the larger the number of people in the meeting, the more ceremonial retreat it is.

During the decades when the old emperor was in power, the central authority of the Qing Dynasty was basically divided into three parts: the Political Affairs Office, the Cabinet, and the South Study Room.

Among them, the members of the political affairs office include the Prince, the County King, Baylor, Beizi, the Duke of the State, Gu Shan Ezhen and other nobles from the Eight Banners.

It is not difficult for the monarch and his ministers to play the right role.

The difficulty lies in the unbearable waiting.

The old emperor was getting old, and the time to wake up was sometimes very early and sometimes very late, and there was no certain rule to follow.

After a while, Wang Chaoqing came out with his fly whisk in his hands, leaned in front of Yuzhu obsequiously, and said servilely: "Long live Lord, Xiangguo, please go in with me?"

In Qingxi Bookstore, the place where the old emperor often stayed was not very big, and it was impossible for more than [-] important officials to enter together.

Therefore, the daily summoning of important ministers, that is, calling, is generally divided into three to five.

Among them, the first batch is: Jiaotouqi.

The truth is often hidden in the subtleties.

Don't underestimate the three words "calling the head up".

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the courtiers are among the "calling the head up", they must be the pillars of the court's important ministers, and they really hold the real power!

Yu Zhu glanced at Song Zhu who was opposite, and found that his face was ugly, so he deliberately asked Wang Chaoqing: "My lord, Khan Ama didn't invite Song Lao Zhongtang to go in together?"

As soon as Wang Chaoqing heard this, cold sweat immediately dripped down, and his heartbeat accelerated rapidly.

Oh, hello, my dear mother, Yu Xiangguo, are you trying to provoke trouble on purpose?
Yes, Yu Zhu just wanted to tease Song Zhu, and deliberately made the old Song unable to come down.

No way, Yu Zhu didn't want to compete with Song Zhu for power, but the old emperor forced him to get involved.

Otherwise, why did the old emperor equip Yuzhu with eight sticks?
The old emperor was suspicious by nature, and his means of mastering the government, from the beginning to the end, was four words: mixed opinions.

Whether it was Suo'etu and Mingzhu, or the second child and the eighth child, the vicious fight between them was essentially instigated and condoned by the old emperor.

The exam question given by the old emperor is very clear: Yuzhu, if you can't beat Songzhu, the chief Manchurian scholar, why don't you go home and grow sweet potatoes!
Since the old emperor condoned the fight, what's so terrible about Yuzhu?

Let's fight, anyway, it has been Kangxi's 59th year, how many years does the old emperor have to live?
For fighting, Yuzhu's experience is too rich!
Under normal circumstances, the most intolerable thing for senior bureaucrats is young people who provoke authority in public!
The higher the status of the bureaucrats, the more important the prestige!

To put it bluntly, most of the officials above the court are grass on the wall near the big side of the watermelon.

Wherever the grace is strong and the wealth is strong, these fools will fall to that side, so as not to be completely liquidated because they are on the wrong team!
The old emperor is inside, no matter how dissatisfied Song Zhu is with Yu Zhu, the necessary city will restrain the urge to make trouble.

Just when Wang Chaoqing thought that Yuzhu would continue to pursue, unexpectedly, Yuzhu said lightly: "Why are you standing still? Lead the way ahead?"

Zhang Tingyu, who was behind, looked at the back of Yuzhu who was meeting alone, and couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart. Songzhu's prestige was hit, but he gave up as soon as he saw it, alas, it's so difficult!
The old emperor was also listless, shouted his head up, and deliberately only called Yu Zhu in, wasn't this clearly provoking trouble?

If it is like this every day and every time, no matter how powerful Song Zhu is, no matter how high his prestige is, no matter how old his qualifications are, he will not be able to withstand the frustration of the declining favor.

"Your servant, Yuzhu, I respectfully invite Shengan!"

"Get up and give me a seat." The old emperor bestowed a seat for the first time.

You know, in the past 20 years, when the prime minister was officially summoned, the old emperor had never given him a seat.

Yuzhu was neither stupid nor dull, he thanked him politely, but he didn't sit on the brocade stool, still stood with his head down, standing firmly five feet away.

"If I tell you to sit down, sit down." The old emperor saw Yu Zhu's intentions and deliberately threatened him, "Could it be that you want me to move the stool for you?"

This is what Yu Zhu was waiting for!

Now that the old emperor has spoken, he can't sit still!

Yuzhu then sat on the brocade stool, looking sideways at the hem of the old emperor's dragon robe, waiting for inquiries.

"Songzhu is old and not good at managing money." The old emperor stared at Yuzhu's body, and pushed Songzhu out slowly.

Yu Zhu knew in his heart that the old emperor wanted to overhaul the palace, and Song Zhu had no ability to get money, so he seemed to be out of favor.

To tell the truth, Yu Zhu couldn't figure it out all the time. As he got older, the old emperor loved Guangxiu's palace more and more.

Not to mention anything else, just in the Changchun Garden, how many years did not invest millions of taels of silver?
In addition, on the road from the capital to Rehe, magnificent palaces rose up one after another.

At this point, the old emperor was not satisfied, and he thought about it again, and expanded the Jingming Garden in Yuquan Mountain.

Just diverting water from Yuquan Mountain is an extremely huge project, and at least it will cost tens of millions of taels of silver.

If Yuzhu wants to be a virtuous minister, at this time, he should persuade the old emperor to cherish the power of the people and rest with the people more.

However, Yuzhu's ambition is to be Cao's thief.

Cough, virtuous minister, get out of here!

"Huihan Ama, the household department will definitely say that there is a lack of money, right?" Yu Zhu deliberately put eye drops on Song Zhu, knowing what the old emperor was thinking.

After the fourth child was transferred to manage the Ministry of Industry, the Bachelor of Management of the Ministry of Households has always been Song Zhu.

As we all know, among the six ministries of the Qing Dynasty, the official and household ministries had the most real power.

The Ministry of War cannot control the Eight Banners soldiers, but can only manage the military and political affairs of the Green Battalion soldiers. The real power is actually very small.

As for the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Punishment, they are all executive yamen and have no decision-making power.

The old emperor deliberately led to the lack of money, just waiting for Yuzhu to attack the Ministry of Households.

To launch an attack on the Ministry of Households is to fight against Songzhu.

Only when Yu Zhu and Song Zhu formed a vicious fight, the old emperor could sleep with his eyes closed at night!
