The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs watched eagerly as Yuzhu came in from the gate, and there was only one word left in their hearts: surrender.
After so many years, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all veterans who have seen the world.
However, have they ever seen the wonders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as Caiyuanmen?
The Jade Pillar kept entering and exiting the House of Internal Affairs, as if it were in a deserted place. The power of its holy family was simply outrageous!
Today, it was Yuzhu's turn to work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Lao Ba, Lao Ninth and Lao Ten were very sensible and did not show up.
According to what Lao Jiu said in private, I and you are noble people from Tianhuang, so there is no need to touch the porcelain with the tiles.
In fact, Lao Jiu has never been here in Yuzhu. Not only has he never taken any advantage, but he has repeatedly suffered big losses.
The veterans in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, on the surface, are very respectful to Lao Ba, but in fact, there are only a few who really join Ba Ye's party.
According to the information Yuzhu has, there are quite a few officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who took the initiative to defect to the old fourteenth when they saw that the market was bullish.
Everyone is just a person on the scene, singing Liaozhai is of no use.
As we all know, the Fourteenth Old Man is known as the Eighth Prince Party. In fact, he has never been the most trusted younger brother of the Old Eighth Prince.
However, after Lao Ba ended his path to the throne, between Lao Si and Lao Fourteen, he could only choose Lao Fourteen.
Yuzhu didn't want to offend Lao Ba and the others too much, and there was no benefit at all, so why bother?
Therefore, Yuzhu came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs just to sit in the office, drink tea and chat with someone.
"Reporting to the Zhongtang, the master Hui of Yanxi Palace has a slight cold and a severe cough. He sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor." The Imperial Pharmacy sent someone to see Yuzhu.
Yuzhu was in charge of the Imperial Pharmacy, and the imperial doctors who treated the emperor and concubines were all affiliated with the Imperial Pharmacy.
Therefore, when Concubine Hui becomes ill, Yuzhu must make the final decision.
Ever since the boss was imprisoned, Concubine Hui, a heartless woman, was like Wang Xiaoer celebrating the New Year, and her days were getting worse day by day.
There is no way, the palace is a place for cannibalism.
Concubine Hui was already old and beautiful, and her only son was imprisoned in the prince's palace. In addition, the eighth son hated the elder's talkativeness. The eunuchs in the palace and the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were hostile to Hui.
The concubine was naturally extremely perfunctory, fearing she would be held responsible.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that the boss was completely finished and would never get ahead.
However, no matter how much Concubine Hui lost her position, she was still the first of the four concubines in the old emperor's early years, and the necessary dignity still needed to be considered.
"Well, then let's ask Dr. Liu from the Typhoid Department to come over and take a look." Yuzhu didn't want to be a loser. It's neither necessary nor beneficial.
After sending away the people from the imperial pharmacy, Yuzhu led the two personal eunuchs and went straight to the building office of Yangxin Hall.
In addition to Lao Shiba, the only two management ministers of the Yangxin Hall Construction Office are Yuzhu.
It is no exaggeration to say that the jade pillars in the building of Yangxin Hall can cover the sky with one hand.
When Yuzhu came in, Lao Ba was tinkering with a Western clock.
Clocks are truly imported.
In the twenty-eighth year of Wanli, the Western missionary Matteo Ricci gave Emperor Wanli two self-ringing bells as gifts.
After entering the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi had a special interest in Western science and liked to collect Western clocks.
For this reason, Kangxi specially set up a clock-making workshop under the bell-ringing office of the Yangxin Hall Manufacturing Office, and hired Western "skilled people" to specialize in imitating and repairing Western clocks.
In fact, because the system fosters lazy people and lacks subjective innovation spirit, the craftsmanship level of the clocks imitated in the palace is not as good as that of the folk watch workshops in Guangzhou.
"Brother, you came at the right time. Little brother, I got a few taels of Junshan Maojian, just in time to brew it for you to try?" Lao Shiba always respected Yuzhu and did not dare to show off the pedigree of the emperor's son.
Yuzhu circled around the clock, raised his head and asked Lao Shiba: "This should be the clock in Qingxi Bookstore, right?"
Lao Shiba smiled slightly, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother, you have good eyesight. It is exactly the treasure clock from Khan Amma. It's a pity that it was a little slow and was sent here for repair."
Yuzhu nodded and said, "You are an expert in clocks and watches."
Although Lao Shiba was very favored, even though he was granted the title of Beizi, he still had no serious job.
Anyway, I have nothing to do. Lao Shimao was at home, studying the clock.
As time went by, Lao Shiba's reputation for being good at repairing clocks spread to the outside world, and an endless stream of princes and ministers came to ask him to repair clocks.
After Yu Yan had endured it for several years, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she came to Yu Zhu and asked him to find a serious job for Lao Shiba so that he wouldn't get into trouble at home.
Yuzhu knew Lao Shiba's preferences, and when the old emperor was in a good mood, he recommended Lao Shiba as the administrative minister of the Yangxin Palace Construction Office.
The Building Office of Yangxin Hall was in charge of all the clever silver skills that the old emperor liked, and it did not involve half of the palace power, so the old emperor agreed on the spot.
Lao Shiba was extremely satisfied with Yuzhu's arrangement and spent all day working on his errands.
After serving tea, Yuzhu drank Junshan Maojian from Yushang. Well, due to the different latitude and soil and water, the taste is slightly lighter than Xinyang Maojian.
Seeing that Yuzhu's expression was quite peaceful, Lao Shiba smiled and said, "Brother, to tell you the truth, ever since I got the job in the Manufacturing Office, my Fifteenth Brother has been extremely jealous and has always been envious of me.
Say some weird things."
Yuzhu didn't say a word, he knew in his heart that no matter what happened to Lao Fifteen, he was still Lao Ba's biological brother.
Regardless of the order of the princes, just talking about brothers from the same mother, Lao Fifteen is the serious eldest brother of Lao Eighteen.
After all, Lao Shiba was a kind-hearted kid. After he landed on the shore, he thought about helping Lao Shiba to save Lao Shiba from having to sit in the study room every day to read and practice calligraphy.
According to the rules in the palace, as long as the prince's elder brother has no errands, he must go back to the study to study with the masters.
However, Lao Shiwu's situation is rather special, as he has a close relationship with the deposed prince.
Not to mention Kang Mazi, even after the fourth child came to power, he found an excuse and sent the fifteenth child to Jingling.
Jingling is the mausoleum of the old emperor, and Lao Fifteen stayed there for more than four years.
For ordinary people, if they arrange to guard the mausoleum, they won't have to worry about food and drink.
However, for Lao Fifteen, it was obvious that Lao Si had received the special treatment of residential surveillance.
In addition to Lao Fifteen, those who enjoy this kind of treatment are also Lao Si's younger brother, Lao Fourteen.
Yuzhu put down the tea cup in his hand and asked Lao Shiba very calmly: "After the deposed prince was imprisoned in Xian'an Palace, did Lao Fifteen show any remorse?"
In court battles, the winner takes all and the loser must bow his head. This is the rule.
However, from the time when the second child was trapped until now, the fifteenth child has not shown any real remorse.
Without this premise, even if Yuzhu spoke for Lao Fifteen, the old emperor would not only not reward the errand, but would also suspect that Yuzhu was trying to win people's hearts.
Lao Shiba was Yuzhu's sister-in-law, and Yuzhu gave him a hand, and no one could say no.
