lied to Kangxi

Chapter 271 The Wronged Kangxi
Yuzhu is a sensible person, and the fourth child asked him to help with work, so the time may be right.

"Wu Jiang, you go back to the house and tell the old lady and the wife that I won't go back to the house for dinner tonight. Well, Lord Sibeile will definitely treat you to something delicious." Yuzhu summoned Wu Jiang, intentionally In the face of the fourth child, he gave some advice.

"Hey." After Wu Jiang took the order, he went out and rode back to the house to report the letter.

The old thirteen laughed, and said: "Fourth brother, look, Yuzhu asked you to buy a table of high-quality noodles."

Ever since they shared hardships in the Mulan Palace, the old thirteen became a little closer to Yuzhu.

Everyone understands the truth that it is impossible not to understand the truth that sharing happiness and adversity makes it difficult!

Because of chatter, after being scolded by Kangxi in public, the fourth child almost stopped laughing.

The fourth son said with a straight face: "As long as the accounts are cleared up, I will invite you to set up a table in Zhimeilou."

Yuzhu knew very well in his heart that the fourth child had a temperament of cold outside and hot inside, if you respect him one foot, he will respect you one foot.

It's just that the fourth child likes to go to extremes. He desires to give the throne to the emperor (Yinxiang) and hates to eat his flesh (Longkodo). The grievances and grievances are very clear!
The Song of Ice and Fire, set on the head of the fourth child, can be described as appropriate!
Yu Zhu couldn't guarantee that he would win against the fourth child in the future Changchun Garden night.

Therefore, no matter how close the fourth brother is, Yuzhu always respects him, even in the subtleties, the fourth brother can't find any faults.

In front of the fourth child, Yuzhu has always been a low-key person, never saying anything.

To put it bluntly, this is still the secret figured out from Zhang Tingyu!

Zhang Tingyu's introverted and low-key style is very suitable for the fourth child's appetite, and so is Yuzhu!

The fourth child also knew Yuzhu's habit of reconciling accounts. After Yuzhu sat down behind the small book case, he ordered the account manager brought from Baylor's mansion to cooperate with Yuzhu to close the account.

Sure enough, Yuzhu was still in the old habit of recording all the items read by the accountant and the amount of money in the form printed by the fourth child.

The people in the household department, in fact, have no problem at this stage.Their shortcoming is mainly that they can only add and subtract, not multiply and divide, and summing up is slow and error-prone.

Yuzhu has learned mental arithmetic, and it is easy to deal with such a simple sum of numbers.

An hour and a half later, Yuzhu compiled the accounts twice, and the figures were the same twice, so he handed over to the fourth child.

After reading the figures, the fourth child couldn't help but sighed: "The national treasury is so empty that it can't support a Northwest War!"

Yu Zhu smiled, but said nothing.

All the money he made went to the Guangchu Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is Kangxi's internal treasury.

The current financial revenue and expenditure situation is actually somewhat similar to that of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The private money in the emperor's inner treasury can be said to be abundant.However, the silver in the household department's third treasury is seriously insufficient.

Ma Qi, a scholar in charge of the household department, always finds excuses and borrows money from the emperor to spend.

Kangxi once sighed many times: "Ma Qi borrows money, never returns!"

When Xia Ya went out, it was already dark.

However, in the entire yamen of the household department, all the clerks passing by along the way were dimly lit by candlelight.

Hey, there is not a single room in a state of darkness.

Yu Zhu, who followed the fourth child, couldn't help laughing secretly.

No one in the household department dared to leave earlier than the fourth child. Obviously, everyone knew a fact: the fourth child was notoriously a workaholic!

The fourth child did what he said, and led Yuzhu and the thirteenth child straight to Zhimeilou in a carriage.

The next morning, Yuzhu entered the palace in a sedan chair and met Wu Fan in front of Xihua Gate.

Wu Cheng is Yuzhu's master in the examination and must be respected.

Yuzhu walked over quickly, and the guards around Wu Fan knew Yuzhu well, and stepped aside one after another.

"Student Yuzhu, I pay my respects to my master." Yuzhu bowed to the ground very respectfully.

Wu Chen caressed his white beard, couldn't help smiling, and said softly: "Qingqing, I heard that you are happy with Lin'er?"

Yu Zhu said with a smile on his face: "I have to worry about the old master, and I thank the ancestor for his kindness on behalf of the dog."

Wu Yan nodded secretly. Throughout the ages, the young and suddenly noble people have always been arrogant and domineering.

However, Yuzhu has never been arrogant, but also respects his teachers, this sincere child can be taught!
Yu Zhu and Wu Cheng were walking together in the South Study Room, but they couldn't see each other when they looked up, but they saw each other when they looked down.

If you deliberately try to keep the distance apart, it will appear too contrived, and a wise man will not do it!
Since it was a chance encounter, Yuzhu accompanied Wu Fan into the Xihua Gate.The master and apprentice chatted while walking.

According to the usual practice, when a scholar enters the palace, there will be a little eunuch to help him hold up a lantern to light his way.

In this way, it would be difficult for Wu Yan to talk to Yu Zhu if he was holding back his words.

The emperor's eyes and ears are all around, even if Yu Zhu had already guessed Wu Pu's difficulties, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

It's all old Jianghu, what don't you understand?
Xu Yuzhu, his official career has just begun.However, it's not too long before Wu Yan is begging for bones to become an official!
According to Yuzhu's correct understanding, Wu Fan's biggest worry now must be the future of the Wu family's descendants.

"My lord, the disciples know that the knowledge of the fifth senior brother is very good. In the future, after the dog enters school, I want to ask the fifth senior brother to teach him, is it good?"

Yuzhu's words immediately comforted Wu Yan, and he couldn't help laughing.

Alas, Li Qing, a student, did not make a mistake at all, he really talks about people and the world!
From Yuzhu's standpoint, it is unrealistic to take care of the Wu family completely.

Because the official paths of Manchen and Hanchen are different!
The more Yu Zhu took care of him, the more easily the children of the Wu family would be squeezed out by the Han officials.

However, after Wu Cheng's fifth son won the Juren, he no longer took the imperial examination.His internal division of labor in the Wu family is farming and doing business, earning money to support his brothers to serve as officials in the court.

Yuzhu's eldest son, worshiping the Wu family Wulang who is not an official as his teacher, is very wonderful.

Hey, if you do this, you won't offend the emperor's taboo, and you won't be afraid of Hanchen Shilin's gossip. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

After seeing the lights in the South Study Room, Wu Yan put on a straight face and ignored Yu Zhu.

Yuzhu also only regards Wu Yan as an ordinary boss, polite and polite, close but far away!
As soon as he sat down, Zhang Tingyu came before Yuzhu picked up the teacup.

"My lord, please take a look." Zhang Tingyu's posture was very soft, showing extra respect for Yuzhu.

Yuzhu didn't want to embarrass Zhang Tingyu because of some trivial matters at all, so he said with a smile: "Hengchen, the abbreviation you wrote must be the best, just pass it to the internal affairs office."

Zhang Tingyu is notoriously cautious, how could he believe Yuzhu's words?
"My lord, you are notoriously well-informed. Only after you have read the abbreviations drafted by the humble staff can I feel at ease." Zhang Tingyu was very good at talking, and immediately blocked Yuzhu's mouth.

Yuzhu knew it well, Zhang Tingyu was a delicate person, and it was impossible for him to let go of the conversation easily.

"Hengchen, let's put it down, I just turn my hand and pass it in." Yuzhu still had the same attitude, he just passed it by hand, it was impossible to read the abbreviation.

The higher the level of the yamen, the more complicated the personnel affairs. Everyone must abide by the principle of being careful and making no big mistakes.

When it was time for Yumen to listen to the government, Yuzhu still stood at the end of the ministers in the South Study Room, keeping his head down, deliberately not looking at Kangxi.

Yesterday, after King Jingxi of Zhenguo took the lead of the emperor, today no one dared to recommend the old eighth.

However, Kangxi was still upset.

Because Ma Qi asked Kangxi to borrow money again.

"Your Majesty, there are only tens of millions of taels of silver in the third treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but the amount of money to be allocated for disaster relief is as much as four million taels. The slave is thinking, and he can only borrow some money from the Guangchu Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Ma Qiming knew that Kangxi's complexion had become ugly, but he didn't care and insisted on finishing his words.

In the early Qing Dynasty, even Kangxi had greatly weakened the power base of the banner owners.However, the Manchu relatives still hold great real power.

As the chief Manchurian scholar, Ma Qi still has some bones, and he is not afraid of angering Kangxi.

In fact, from the old captives to the Huang Taiji period, the Qing Dynasty had a political structure governed by eight beiles.

Dorgon's monopoly is also based on the fact that his brothers Azig and Duoduo each hold a banner.

Essentially speaking, the Dorgon period was still the background for the Eight Banners to rule together.

After Shunzhi's death, Kangxi wronged Oboi and conspired against him, with the purpose of taking back the pro-government power.

Until today, Kangxi's dictatorship has only weakened the power of the banner owners, and the power of the Manchu relatives is still greater than the imperial power.

After 40 years of Qianlong, the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty belonged to the emperor alone!
The ass decides the head, this statement is not to be deceived!
Ma Qi was in charge of the household department. In his later years, in order to highlight the benevolent government, Kangxi did often exempt money and food from disaster-stricken places.

But the problem is that the money collected is limited, and it cannot withstand Kangxi's generous squandering!
"Ma Qi, last month, you just borrowed 80 taels of silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you spent it all so quickly?" Kangxi's words were typical hooliganism.

"Your Majesty, when you were still in the Mulan Palace, you were exempted from the three-year money and food in the eight states of Shandong, and the money in the third treasury of the household department is not enough." Ma Qi stiffened his neck and pushed back.

Ma Qi is not the fourth child, he is not stupid, he purposely did not mention the matter of the princes and ministers borrowing money from the household department.

Yuzhu didn't raise his head, and kept his mouth shut, silently listening to Ma Qi and the old emperor's lawsuit.

The foundation of Kangxi's abundant internal treasury is mainly that the Chongwenmen supervisory office was straightened out by Yuzhu, and it can collect two to three million taels of silver every year.

It seems that there is a lot of money, but Kangxi, who is in his 50s, can't hold back, and he is content with building large-scale construction projects for pleasure.

Ma Qi's non-repayment caused Kangxi a particularly headache, but it was not easy to attack on the spot.

To put it bluntly, among the officials in the world, the officials of the household department are the fattest and the most difficult.

The sky is big and the earth is big, no money is the biggest!
"Let's discuss it later." Kangxi deliberately resorted to a strategy of delaying the attack, not wanting to continue entanglement with Ma Qi.

The project in the Changchun Garden has already started, and Ma Qi can't empty out the inner warehouse, so the work should be stopped?

As soon as he thought about money, Kangxi remembered Yuzhu.

However, Yuzhu stood quietly with her head bowed all the time, never looking at Kangxi at all.

Kangxi felt very unhappy. After announcing the dismissal of the court, he did not go back to the Qianqing Palace, but went straight to the South Study Room.
