lied to Kangxi

Chapter 952 Is there Wang Mang of the same style?

The eight assistant ministers, as a whole, collectively exercised the right to vote for the chief assistant of the former Ming cabinet.

The Empress Dowager Cikang, on behalf of the emperor, has the right to approve red with a vermilion pen.

The little emperor, hehe, just like the old emperor who was only eight years old back then, before he got married and took charge, he could only stand aside for the time being.

After the new king ascends the throne, the three most important things are: one is to reward the ministers who support the dragon, the other is to enshrine the clan princes, and the other is to enshrine the old emperor's concubines.

The more troublesome thing is, how to reward the jade pillars made from the dragon's head?

By the time of the old emperor's death, Yuzhu was a scholar of the Hall of Zhonghe and a proper Prime Minister of Manchuria.

As for the title of Yuzhu, it is the first king with a different surname after Ping Sanfan.

This problem was extremely difficult. After several days of discussion, the fifth child and the seventh child couldn't come up with a good solution, so they could only choose to put it aside for a while.

Among the princes of the clan, the Heshuo princes can only reward silver coins, and it is impossible to be promoted again.

In fact, there are not many kings alive, so it would be nice to confer them princes.

Anyway, as long as the words "hereditary and non-replacing" are not added in the decree, the title will be descended from generation to generation, and the burden on the court is actually not heavy.

Baylor and Beizi, together, the total number exceeds five hundred, which is quite a lot.

If the universal Baylor is promoted to the king of the county, and Beizi is promoted to Baylor, I am afraid that the treasury of the Ministry of Finance will not be able to bear it!

Since the Qin Dynasty, there have been four major taxes in the past dynasties, land tax, small tax, monopoly tax on salt, tea and iron, and commercial tax on ordinary commodities.

Among them, the land tax accounts for more than [-]%, and the rest of the taxes are younger brothers.

Farming is purely dependent on the sky, and the annual increase is extremely limited.

The collection of small taxes has led to the existence of a large number of hidden populations.

Among the monopoly taxes on salt, tea and iron, the salt tax accounts for the majority, which is equivalent to about [-]% of the total annual revenue of the imperial court.

The fiscal revenue of the imperial court had to be carefully calculated. Once it was opened up to spend money, the consequence would be that the Ministry of Finance's treasury ran away with rats.

As for the concubines of the old emperor, adding the word huangkao in front of their titles is very symbolic.

According to the rules of the Great Qing Huidian, there is only one noble concubine, and the imperial concubine who is the same as the vice queen is not permanent.

As for the queen, the little emperor had no choice but to leave it empty until his wedding.

Therefore, the concubines and ladies in the palace just added the word "Huang Kao" in front of the concubine, and each gave another 1000 taels of silver, and it was over.

For example, Concubine De will be Concubine Huang Kaode from now on.

However, there are two exceptions, one is Concubine Cheng and the other is Concubine Yi.

Concubine Cheng is the biological mother of Lao Qi, and Concubine Yi is the biological mother of Lao Wu and Lao Jiu.

If the fifth child and the seventh child were not in power, they would have no choice but to stare blankly at how their biological mother would seal them up.

Unfortunately, the fifth and the seventh are now among the ministers of the auxiliary king, the big figures who hold real power.

Especially Lao Qi, he felt extremely guilty towards his biological mother.

Lao Qi was born with short legs, which made Concubine Cheng a widow for decades.

Coincidentally, the position of Imperial Concubine Huang Kao was vacant, and Lao Qi wanted to make Concubine Cheng a good one.

It's a trivial matter, and it doesn't involve the division of power, Raul raised his hand.

Originally, Lao Qi thought that Lao Wu would definitely support him.

However, Lao Qi never expected in his dreams that Lao Wu actually showed embarrassment and said: "Lao Jiu has been yelling and wants to give the imperial concubine a position."

The seventh child understood right away, and the fifth child was also thinking about it, the emperor was taking the imperial examination for the position of imperial concubine.

This is troublesome!

Lao Qi struggled hard, made the last effort, and discussed with Lao Wu humbly.

"Fifth Brother, you also know that because of my sick leg, my concubine has never been seen by the Emperor Daxing..."

What Lao Qi said was very touching. After all, Lao Wu was soft-hearted, so he nodded in agreement.

However, when Lao Jiu knew about it, he sneered and said, "Fifth Brother, you can talk to your concubine yourself, I'm afraid I will be scolded for being unfilial by poking my spine."

A poisonous snake is a poisonous snake, and Lao Jiu pulled out the banner of filial piety as a tiger skin as soon as he opened his mouth, choking the honest and honest Lao Wu speechless.

Yuzhu's aunt was already the Queen Mother, so it was impossible for him to participate in it.

With such a delay, the matter of canonizing the emperor and examining the concubines was stuck.

Yuzhu had no way of knowing what the fifth and seventh sons were discussing in private.

However, Yuzhu was sensitive to the fact that the fifth and seventh sons who had been working together had actually separated.

How many days have you been in power?
Hehe, the so-called brotherhood, which is harder than iron, will also be deformed in the face of major issues of profit distribution.

A broken friendship is like broken glass, even if it is glued together, it cannot be restored to its original state.

It doesn't matter whether the fifth child and the seventh child are divided or combined, Yuzhu doesn't care at all.

To put it bluntly, Yu Zhu had already foreseen the situation in front of him when he designed the system of the mother's queen hanging curtain and the eight ministers assisting the government in the will.

Under the shadow of "I am the only one" thinking, it is actually the norm that we can only share adversity but not happiness.

Therefore, in the long history of more than 2000 years, there are only a handful of emperors who did not kill the founding heroes.

When the cabinet of the former Ming Dynasty was first established, several grand scholars were equal colleagues, and there was no distinction between the chief assistant and the second assistant.

However, under the influence of traditional culture, as long as there is a crowd of people, it is necessary to distinguish who is the master and who is the slave.

After several rounds of brutal struggles, Shofu, who held the right to vote, stood out.

Yuzhu knows better than anyone else that the fifth and seventh brothers were in a group before, just to prevent him from taking power.

Whether it's an answer or a good brother, once you encounter a major interest issue, you will all go out of shape.

Guo Jing and Tuo Lei also answered An.However, when Temujin went south to invade the Song Dynasty, wouldn't Tuo Lei stop sending troops?

It's just that Yuzhu has never seized power.The fifth and seventh brothers couldn't find someone to fight with, so fighting in the nest was inevitable.

The fifth child is generous in nature and very loyal.It's just that he has a fatal problem, his ears are soft.

Yuzhu deliberately put Lao Jiu among the assistant ministers, because he saw through Lao Jiu's nature.

To be honest, Lao Jiu wouldn't be Lao Jiu if he didn't pick things up.

Historically, after the fourth brother came to power, the ninth must be eliminated first.This is roughly the same logic as traitors, who are more hateful than Japanese pirates.

In the eyes of the fourth child, the eighth child is indeed hateful, but the ninth child who always comes up with bad ideas must be sent away first.

Yu Zhu knew better than anyone else that he had made the country with a thunderbolt, but he frightened the old nobles of Manchuria!

Rumors of reckless people spread wildly, which made the fifth and seventh brothers extremely jealous.

No matter how strong the relationship between An and Da is, can it be more important than the country left by the ancestors?
So, the reason why interpersonal relationships are complicated lies in the fact that there is one moment and another moment!

In order to avoid the suspicion of provoking relations, Yuzhu simply did not stay in Nanxun Hall.Crying when the spirit should cry, after crying, go to the guard's tea room to drink tea and rest.

Yuzhu is gone, Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi, who dares to make decisions without authorization?

It's just that the jade pillars from the dragon head can be neglected, and the concubines of the late emperor can be temporarily put on hold, but it is imminent to seal the clan and princes.

Yuzhu drank tea comfortably, surrounded by old subordinates.

The guards were already clear-sighted, seeing Yuzhu offering to come to their door, how could they not take the opportunity to flatter them?

In the room, when the conversation was in full swing, Lao Qi suddenly came.

"You all go down." As soon as Lao Qi entered the door, he drove away all the guards.

Holding the teacup in his hand, Yu Zhu calmly waited for Lao Qi to play his cards.

"Good brother, fifth brother has promised me something, but he backed out. To be honest, this makes me feel very uncomfortable." The old seventh took a long breath and began to complain endlessly.

If Yu Zhu is the ninth child, he must take this opportunity to give the fifth child eye drops.

However, as an old politician, Yuzhu has always played the role of a loyal listener, just listening quietly and never interrupting.

Glass in this era is old and valuable.

Now, the friendship between the fifth and the seventh is just a crack, and it is far from breaking.

The situation among the co-government ministers is extremely delicate.

Only, Yu Zhu openly sided with Lao Qi.He dared to assert that within a day, Lao Wu would take the initiative to soften his body and win Lao Qi over again.

Lao Qixu babbled on for a long time, but seeing Yu Zhu remained silent, he couldn't help asking him angrily, "Why don't you speak?"

Yu Zhu sighed: "The palms and backs of the hands are all meat. Seventh brother, what do you want me to say?"

On the bright side, Lao Wu and Yuzhu are the answer.In fact, Lao Qi was able to be promoted to Prince Chun, and Yu Zhu also made great efforts in secret.

Lao Qi felt very ashamed.

To be honest, Yuzhu treated him really well.

In the past, when Lao Qi was in short supply, it was Yu Zhu who personally greeted Sun Chengyun and helped Lao Qi more than triple the amount of smuggled salt.

Otherwise, the majestic Chunjun Prince's Mansion would have to live a hard life with a lot of money to spare.

Normally speaking, after Lao Qi came to power, he should naturally be with Yuzhu.

However, the rumors and gossips outside have their noses and eyes, and people have to believe it.

It is an indisputable fact that the military power in the capital is in the hands of Yuzhu.

For the sake of the ancestor's foundation, as long as Lao Qi is not stupid, it is definitely impossible for Yuzhu's strength to continue to expand without restraint.

If, like Grand Master Dong, Yu Zhu not only monopolizes the power, but also arbitrarily abolishes the establishment, Lao Qi will definitely join the team against Grand Master Yu.

However, what troubled Lao Qiwan was that Yuzhu didn't want to take power at all, and even the most important Eight Banners, the Yamen, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, were handed over to him and Lao Wu.

To be honest, Lao Qi has read a lot.In the history books, what Wang Mang did and Yuzhu's performance are so different, they can't be compared at all!
Not to mention anything else, Yu Zhu openly robbed many officials' wives, and his notoriety of lust has spread all over the country.

Well, let me ask, is there a Wang Mang with the same style in the history books?

Lao Qi was deeply confused!
"Good brother, can you speak to my mother, the empress dowager, for me?" Lao Qi hesitated again and again, but filial piety prevailed in the end.

Yu Zhu took a deep look at Lao Qi, and sighed, "Okay, I'll just pass the word, if it's successful or not, just don't blame me."

While the seventh child was overjoyed, he did not expect that the rift in friendship between him and the fifth child would grow wider and wider.
