In the early morning, Yuzhu got off duty from Qianqing Palace and rushed to the south study room.
Zhang Yushu, the bachelor who was on duty, even arranged for Zhang Boxing, who had just arrived, to work under Yuzhu.
Hey, today's Yuzhu's men can be said to be crouching tigers, hidden dragons.
Fang Bao, the commoner prime minister, Zhang Tingyu, the powerful prime minister of the three dynasties, and Zhang Boxing, a famous upright official and capable official, formed a mahjong team with high IQs!
Zhang Boxing, courtesy name Xiaoxian and nickname Shuzhai, was born in Yifeng (Lankao), Henan.
Objectively speaking, Zhang Bo is not greedy, mainly because his family is very rich.
In Yifeng County, the old Zhang family is a famous big bureaucrat and big landowner, owning tens of thousands of acres of good farmland.
Kangxi once said in public that there was no need for Zhang Xiaoxian to be greedy for money.
that's the truth.
Zhang Boxing was an official outside and only wanted to be a clean official, and he completely disdained ill-gotten gains.
After participating in the imperial court, Yuzhu felt it was necessary to set some rules for his subordinates, so he summoned the three ruthless characters together.
In the south study room, there is only an office space and no living room.
It can only be that the jade pillar is sitting high on the Kang, with two tables on one side and three powerful people sitting around him.
What's not beautiful is that there are people sitting all around, and everyone can hear what they say.
I think back when Yuzhu was still the top leader in the county, the living room alone filled with leather sofas was fifty square meters in size.
Alas, there is no comparison at all!
Among the three people, Zhang Tingyu had the most seniority, so Yuzhu asked him first: "Brother Hengchen, how did you three discuss this?"
When talking to a top smart person like Zhang Tingyu, Yuzhu didn't need to speak clearly.
Sure enough, Zhang Tingyu stood up, cupped his hands, and said solemnly: "When I go back to the lord of the department, the humble ministers discussed it for a while. After the news came from outside, in the order of Brother Linggao, Brother Xiaoxian, and the humble minister, they Handle it. Whoever accepts the discount will handle it..."
As expected of a prime minister who has stood proudly in the court for decades, Zhang Tingyu's answer was concise, concise, well-organized and impeccable.
According to Yuzhu's original intention, there was no need for him to read the terms drafted by these three powerful men. He could just submit them directly to the Qianqing Palace.
However, Zhang Tingyu was bitten to death, and Yuzhu was his immediate boss and had to help check it.
Yuzhu did not look at Zhang Tingyu, but looked at Fang Bao, and said with a smile: "Brother Linggao, I am busy with official duties, so I can only count on you if I make mistakes."
This is like picking a weak persimmon and pinching it!
Zhang Tingyu's father, Zhang Ying, was Kangxi's companion and ranked as prime minister. His family was extremely powerful and he was not afraid of jade pillars.
Zhang Boxing, whose family was extremely wealthy, had just been demoted from the post of governor to the South Study Room. He did not seek merit, but sought no faults. He had no desire for the jade pillar.
Only, the square package is different.
Fang Bao, with no background, had just been involved in the "Nanshan Collection" and almost had three tribes wiped out. He was still in shock.
Once bitten, twice shy.
Unlike Yuzhu who never wrote poems or lyrics, Fang Bao was proud of his talent before he suffered a big loss, and many of his poems and collections were circulated among the people.
If Yu Zhu is offended, hey, Yu Zhu only needs to collect Fang Bao's masterpieces and deliberately pick out taboo words from them, which is a piece of cake.
Kangxi brought Fang Bao into the south study room, firstly to cherish his talent, and secondly to monitor him nearby.
Yuzhu is also the infantry commander, so he is probably the person in charge of surveillance.
"Go back to the nobility department. How dare you disobey me in your humble position?" Fang Bao hesitated for a moment before taking the hard job.
Yuzhu mostly has military merits, and is ranked as the second-class Yong Yihou, and concurrently serves as the left minister of the household department.
Fang Bao didn't dare to offend a young upstart like him, so he deliberately called him a nobility instead of the usual minister to show his respect.
Yuzhu smiled with satisfaction and looked at Zhang Tingyu: "Brother Hengchen, you are relatively young, so how about helping Brother Linggao and making mistakes together?"
The four people present were all extremely transparent and understanding people.
Zhang Boxing has been watching with a cold eye, and he can see clearly.
Zhang Tingyu made a move calmly, wanting to embarrass Yuzhu.
However, with a smile on Yuzhu's face, he not only kicked the ball back into Zhang Tingyu's arms without making a sound, but he also couldn't get rid of it.
Why did Yuzhu involve Fang Bao?
Hehe, Zhang Tingyu has been working under Yuzhu for many years and has never caused any trouble.
As soon as the square bag arrived, Zhang Tingyu took the initiative to test Yuzhu. If there was no square bag inside, Yuzhu dared to jump down from the steps of the south study room.
What is a master?
The person who is yin is invisible!
As soon as the expert reaches out his hand, he will know whether it is there or not!
As soon as Yuzhu took action, both Fang Bao and Zhang Tingyu were trapped.
This is enough to explain a lot of things. Is it necessary to test it further?
Birds of a feather flock together.
Ever since Yuzhu had three people's sperm in his hands, today's scene was destined to happen, regardless of anyone's will.
Zhang Boxing also understood Yu Zhu's thoughts. The abbreviations and articles drafted by the three of them could be delivered directly to the palace, and Yu Zhu would not deliberately stop them.
However, the three of them were in trouble, and it was impossible for Yuzhu to carry the bag for them.
After all, this is the South Study Room. Who dares to take care of things for outsiders except my own father?
In a word, brothers climb mountains and work hard individually.
Yuzhu's attitude is mainly due to the special nature of the south study room.
The south study room is right under the emperor's nose.
Except for the old emperor, whoever dares to engage in Yiyantang will definitely be in trouble!
In Yuzhu's dictionary, responsibilities and rights must always match.
When it comes to the emperor, it is the right thing to keep things irrelevant and pretend to be ignorant.
In the afternoon, after getting off duty, Yuzhu refused to stay for a second longer and went straight out of the palace to accompany his wife.
Before boarding the sedan at Xihua Gate, Wu Jiang whispered: "Go back to me, the Cao family sent someone to report that Mrs. Sun is dead."
Well, ever since the Cao family was deprived of the lucrative position of Jiangning Weaving, Mrs. Sun has been depressed.
For a house like the Cao family, which is covered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, losing its favor means that it will be difficult for the family to prosper.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the Cao family's withdrawal from Jiangning is actually inseparable from Cao Yin's incompetence.
It is no longer clear how many huge debts Cao Yin borrowed in order to welcome the Holy Emperor's southern tour.
Because of this, Kangxi made a deal with Yuzhu, and Yuzhu helped pay off the debts of the Cao family. Kangxi promised that Yuzhu could build large ships, and used Dagukou in Tianjinwei as Yuzhu's exclusive trading port.
Hey, how did Hong Kong rise?
Isn’t it that the entire mainland is surrounded and blocked by the West, and Hong Kong is the only window for external trade?
Before the First Opium War, there was no foreign trade port in the entire northern part of the Qing Dynasty.
Today's Tianjin Weidagukou Port is equivalent to the significance of Hong Kong to the entire mainland.
However, no matter how wise Kangxi was, he could not see through the profound connotations and huge tricks in it.
In today's Qing Dynasty, the areas south of the Yangtze River are gradually becoming richer than those in the north.
However, the wealthy classes are basically businessmen, landlords and some Han bureaucrats.
Most of the military, financial and personnel power of the Qing Dynasty were in the hands of northerners, mainly bannermen.
In layman's terms, the northerners have power and soldiers, while the southerners have money and food.
These days, if you have power, you must have money, but if you have money, you need to buy the protection of powerful people.
In the short term, Yuzhu will definitely suffer a huge loss due to the huge debt of the Cao family.
However, Yuzhu held the only foreign trade port on the northern coast. Strategically speaking, the deal he made with Kangxi made a lot of money.
Logically speaking, since Mrs. Sun is dead, Cao Chun should step in.
However, Cao Chun was still on the official ship returning to Beijing with his small hammer.
A person must be kind. After all, Yuzhu is the grandson-in-law of the Cao family, so he ordered to go to the Cao family.
When Yuzhu arrived, the inside and outside of the Cao family's old house had become a sea of white, and white flags were erected everywhere.
As Yuzhu, there is no need to mourn for Mrs. Sun.
When he comes to offer sacrifices, he only needs to put on a plain uniform outside his official uniform and tie a white belt around his waist.
As for picking off the red tassel on the top, that is impossible.
The Cao family is not the banner owner, and Yuzhu is not a servant or servant of the banner.
Unless the emperor and the empress dowager die, or Tong Guowei or Longkodo die, the jade pillar must be removed.
After Yuzhu got off the sedan, he stood at the door and took a look, hey, why is the door so empty?
The Cao family, no matter how down-and-out it is, is still an aristocratic family of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There are not hundreds but dozens of relatives and friends, right?
Yuzhu felt strange in his heart, but had no intention of meddling in the Cao family's business.
Just because he knew that none of the Cao family members were fuel-efficient, and they would definitely have endless business to take care of.
Hearing that Yuzhu was coming, Cao Di walked out of the mansion to welcome him.
"May the little Prime Minister be in peace." Cao Di asked Zha Qian in a polite manner.
Yuzhu looked at the handsome Cao Di, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "That's all."
Today, Cao Di is already the eighth-rank official in the infantry commander's office.
Alas, people under the eaves have to bow their heads.
Cao Di was struggling to survive in the hands of Yu Zhu. How could he be strong?
"Second brother Di, please forgive me." Yuzhu briefly comforted Cao Di before stepping into the house.
Unexpectedly, Cao Di came closer and whispered: "I'm afraid the palace doesn't know about this when we go back to Xiao Xiangguo."
Yuzhu understood in an instant that Cao Di was reminding him that he wanted to tell the emperor the news that Mrs. Sun was dead.
Mrs. Sun was Kangxi's nanny, and Kangxi always took care of the entire Cao family.
Presumably, after Kangxi learned the bad news, he would give him a generous gift, right?
However, Cao Yin is far away in Dagukou and may not have returned home yet.
The biggest man in the house is Cao Quan.
However, after Cao Quan committed corruption in Tongshan, he was deprived of his position and was not qualified to enter the palace to see Kangxi.
The problem now is that Cao Quan considers himself an elder and is too embarrassed to take the initiative to greet Yu Zhu.
Yuzhu nodded and said, "Should we wait until my father-in-law comes back to deal with it?" He deliberately pushed it on Cao Yin.
Not all the men in the Cao family are dead, and Cao Yin is still a shipbuilder with the title of general affairs envoy. What is Yuzhu's position on meddling in the internal affairs of the Cao family without authorization?
I must admit that the Cao family's movements are quite fast.
The mourning hall has been set up, and Mrs. Sun is already in bed.
Xiao Lian refers to taking the time to put on longevity clothes before the body is cold enough, and then stuff a big bead in the mouth.
Well, after all, Cao Quan is Mrs. Sun's biological son, so he did it in a timely manner.
Last time, the Shangjia family had no heirs, and the nephews were only interested in stealing things and getting treasures, so who cares about her little one?
As a result, by the time Lao Twelve and Yuzhu arrived, Shang Jia's body had become stiff and the longevity clothes could no longer be worn.
Alas, the tragic situation of the Shangjia family confirms an extremely simple truth of this era: raising children to provide for old age.
Dagukou is not particularly far from the capital. Before nightfall, Cao Yin rode back on a dusty horse.
Cao Yin put on his filial piety and paid homage to Mrs. Sun. He immediately went outside the palace gate and handed a sign to see Kangxi.
Kangxi looked at Cao Yin, who was dressed in filial piety, and recalled that when he was suffering from smallpox, Mrs. Sun fought desperately to accompany him, which made his heart move.
"There shouldn't be many guests coming to visit, right?" Kangxi asked Cao Yin deliberately.
Cao Yin wiped away his tears and choked with sobs: "Master Shengming, there are indeed not many guests who come to offer sacrifices." He was so embarrassed that he died.
"Ziqing, please forgive me for the time being." Kangxi thought for a while and told Wei Zhu, "Go and pass on my oral instructions and handle the Cao family's major affairs with the jade pillar. Well, if he doesn't come forward, the Cao family's funeral will not be a good one.
"
Wei Zhu was walking out when he heard Kangxi's instructions: "It's better to ask Lao Twelve to help with the funeral."
After all, the old emperor was nostalgic and always thought about the benefits of Mrs. Sun, so he deliberately raised the standard of the Cao family's funeral.
After hearing this, Cao Yin was both pleased and ashamed. Alas, it was all his fault.
Ever since Cao Yin lost his lucrative job at Jiangning Weaving, the fortunes of the Cao family have also declined step by step.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Cao Yin rode back from Dagokou, there was no guest registered in the concierge's big book. Except for Yuzhu, there was no third-rank Jingqing. The above distinguished guests.
There was no way, the Cao family was originally a servant of the Three Banners, and had been working as an errand outside Beijing for many years.
Li Xu, who was closest to the Cao family, was far away in Jiangning. Mrs. Sun's nephew, Hangzhou weaver Sun Wencheng, was also out of reach.
More importantly, the noble son-in-law that the Cao family has always been proud of, the iron-hatted county prince Nersu, was deprived of his title.
Objectively speaking, if Nersu was still the king of the county, the Cao family's funeral would never be so shabby and deserted.
However, Kangxi saw clearly that the reason why the Cao family's funeral was so deserted was clearly due to Yuzhu.
Yuzhu, this little bastard, has always looked down upon the Cao family, and obviously has done nothing to help them.
How does this happen?
After Kangxi's oral edict reached the Cao family and Yuzhu presided over the funeral, good guys, senior officials in Beijing came in droves as if they had just learned the news.
At this moment, the threshold of the Cao family was almost trampled to pieces!
Lao Wu will be here soon!
Lao Qi, it's a little late.
In the early morning, the fourth child came down from the household department and came under the starlight.
In front of the gate of Cao's house, the visitors gathered in front of Yuzhu and greeted him affectionately.
"Meet the Lord."
"Please be safe, sir."
"May the little prime minister be in peace."
"Juebu, please forgive me."
Cao Yin bowed his head and smiled, but all the distinguished guests who came to the door just said a few perfunctory words, then approached Yuzhu and took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
At this time, Cao Yin was like an irrelevant passerby, completely enveloped by Yuzhu's huge figure.
