"The Emperor has arrived!"

"I respectfully wish Khan Ama's holy greetings!"

"This servant respectfully wishes His Majesty's blessing!"

"I respectfully send you your Majesty's greetings!"

As the old emperor's father-in-law appeared in front of the Qianqing Gate, the important ministers who attended the imperial gate to listen to the government fell to the ground one after another.

"Get up!"

"Yili!"

The old emperor was very good at disguise. He first called the Han ministers, and then it was the turn of the Manchu ministers.

After the old emperor sat down, the first thing he did was to send someone to clean up the military mess in the northwest.

It was clear that Yuzhu had just won a great victory, but the old emperor did not ask him. Instead, he asked Old Fourteen with a smile.

Old Fourteen has no political acumen, but he does have some skills in the military field.

"Hui Khan Ama, I think that the most important thing in the northwest war is baggage..."

Yuzhu listened carefully to the opinions of the Fourteenth Old Man. Well, the point put forward by the Fourteenth Old Man was, to put it bluntly, in three words: to build up national strength.

In the Qing Dynasty, no one looked down upon the Junggar Khanate.

After all, whether they were fighting against Galdan or Cewang Alabutan on the outskirts of Beijing, they were both unparalleled heroes.

Previously, anyone who looked down on Cewang Alabutan suffered defeat.

Among all the important ministers present, only Yuzhu knew most clearly that the ideas of the Fourteenth Old Man were completely out of date.

How should I put it? This is the same as Manstein's concept of tank swarm operations, which actually became the object of collective ridicule by the senior generals of Weimar Germany.

You know, you know, Yuzhu knows better than anyone else that at this moment, it is especially inconvenient for him to get involved in the military.

The most difficult thing to control about this man is that he likes to be a teacher!

However, Yuzhu is a veteran in the officialdom, and his patience is amazing. He believes in one rule: the one who laughs first will probably lose his life, and the one who laughs last is the real winner!

The fourth child did not understand military affairs, and the thirteenth child was not qualified to participate in the imperial government, but he was so anxious that his vest was sweating.

As the old emperor's biological son, the fourth child already knew the old emperor's temper very well.

During the imperial court meeting, the old emperor deliberately asked the fourteenth elder to discuss the military strategy of the northwest. Wasn't this a clear sign that he wanted to reuse the fourteenth elder?

Originally, in Laosi's plan, if Nian Gengyao won the battle and took advantage of the situation to gain military power in the northwest, it would definitely be the most favorable situation.

If that fails, the next best thing is to let Yuzhu take command in the northwest. Lao Si is also acceptable.

However, the old emperor did not follow the rules and passed the jade pillar with outstanding military achievements and directly ordered the old fourteenth. This would be a big trouble.

However, the fourth child has been pretending to be a lonely minister. Among the bachelors, apart from secretly flirting with Ma Qi, there is no one else who can speak for him.

After the Fourteenth had finished his performance, the old emperor twirled his beard and chuckled: "Yuzhu, what do you think?"

The old emperor personally ordered the generals, and Yuzhu naturally wanted to support him. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "As for Khan Ama, my fourteenth brother is indeed proficient in military affairs. I am ashamed of myself!"

But the fourteenth man said stiffly: "I still need you to praise me?" He was so crazy that he couldn't stop himself.

The old emperor couldn't help frowning and stared at the fourteenth man coldly. Until the old fourteen lowered his head, the old emperor said again: "You all should discuss who should be sent to the northwest to take charge of the overall military situation? "

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present knew that Yuzhu had been eliminated from the northwest.

Yuzhu doesn't care about this. He is too good at messing around.

However, Yuzhu's heart is as clear as a mirror. The matter of who will be sent to the northwest to take command will definitely not be decided today, and will be troubled for a while.

The logic is not complicated. Whoever leads the army in the northwest is equivalent to controlling the most powerful field army in the Qing Dynasty.

As for Yuzhu, he has long known Lao Si's tricks, so naturally he doesn't care about the military power in the northwest.

If Old Fourteen is happy to jump, let him jump. Anyway, it is still long before the death of the old emperor.

After the dynasty ended, Yuzhu did not return to the East Pavilion. Instead, he took Wendena to the Ministry of Finance in a sedan chair.

Today, the elder brother in the household department and management department has been replaced by the third son.

However, as a scholar of Dongge University, Yuzhu also served as the Secretary of the Ministry of Hubu, and was the real leader of the Ministry of Hubu.

As soon as Yuzhu's official sedan arrived at the Hubu Yamen, the servants at the Yamen's door knelt all over the floor.

"Kowtow to the Jade Hall!" New

"That's all."

Visiting Yuzhu’s old place again brings a special feeling to my heart.

The last time he came here, he was just a deputy.

When you are an official, you have to be a deputy, that is to say, it is easy to get around in a deputy position.

In a yamen, the person who really has the final say must be the top leader.

To put it bluntly, only when you become the top leader can you truly grasp the power of the household department.

Yuzhu knew better than anyone else that the old emperor not only wanted to guard against him, but also was afraid that he would be lazy and not work, so he deliberately gave him the busiest household affairs department.

If it were any other yamen, it would be really easy to get by.

However, the Ministry of Revenue is one of the most important yamen in the world, and there are at least more than a hundred official documents that need to be handled by Yuzhu every day.

As soon as Yuzhu sat down in the official hall, the ministers who heard the news came.

After a while of polite greetings, the third child came to the Yamen.

The third child is a prince and the old emperor's biological son. Regardless of whether he is in public or private life, Yuzhu should go and pay homage to him.

Therefore, Yuzhu sent Wendena to go to Lao San's place in person to coordinate the meeting.

However, after Wendner came back, he said that the third child had said that he was busy with official duties and had no time to see him for the time being.

After Yuzhu was ignored, he didn't care at all.

The big seal of the Ministry of Finance is held in the palm of Yuzhu's hand.

No matter how arrogant the third child is, as long as the jade pillar is not sealed, all the orders given by the third child will be ignored.

The principle that county officials are not as good as current administrators is applicable everywhere.

The top leader in the household department cannot be too lazy.

Yuzhu was sitting at his desk, reviewing official documents one by one, when he suddenly saw an official document requesting money from the third family.

What the official document says is that we are short of money to repair books.

When Wendner was sorting out the official documents, he found that there was an official document in which Yuzhu signed his name horizontally, and he immediately understood it.

During lunch, Wendner asked Ma Jiu, the most senior subordinate in the Treasury of the Ministry of Revenue, to be summoned.

"Now, this official document approving the money is particularly important and must be paid as soon as possible." Wendner winked deliberately.

Ma Jiu was used to doing things that were both obligatory and treacherous. As soon as he saw the look in Wen De Na's eyes, he knew that this was to delay the payment as much as possible and not give him any money.

"Bachelor, please rest assured, I know what's appropriate," Ma Jiuzhaqian said in greeting.

Wendner smiled slightly, it was refreshing to deal with people who understood.

If you are an idiot with water in your head, you will be in trouble.

From then on, all the money that Lao San personally approved was blocked from the door of Hubu Sanku.

The third treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs is the national treasury.

The top leader's confidant came to say hello in person. Who dares to pay?

To put it bluntly, Yuzhu's method was often used in the past to deal with people with whom we did not have close friendships.

If you sign vertically, the secretary will read it and execute it. If you sign horizontally, or if you sign without writing the time, the secretary does not need to ask, and it will directly imply that the relevant department cannot handle it.

However, there is no airtight wall in this world.

The news of the quarrel between Lao San and Yu Zhu soon reached the ears of the old emperor.

On important matters, Yuzhu did not delay at all, and the amount of money that should be allocated was not less than one tael.

It's just a trivial matter, it's not the old emperor's turn to intervene.

The old emperor didn't care, so Yuzhu further tightened the authority of the third batch of funds.

To be honest, the third child in charge of the household department is too loose-handed. The cost of repairing books alone costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year.

As Yuzhu is in charge of money, if he is not tight, where will the old emperor get the money to fight in the northwest?

In the past, when he was the Minister of Household Affairs, Yuzhu could pretend to be deaf and dumb.

However, he is now the top leader of the Household Department. If there is an imbalance in the Household Department's revenue and expenditure, as the first person responsible, he will definitely be shouldering the responsibility.

To be honest, the old emperor placed the jade pillar in the household department just to make him look like a villain.

This is like the relationship between the company boss and the financial director, one is the good guy and the other is the bad guy.

Like the fourth child, Yuzhu has made up his mind to be a lonely minister, so he is not afraid of offending others.
To be continued...
