The Duke of Zhen Guo holds the title of nobility. Going to the chief master of the study and walking to the south study are both errands.
Having a title only means that you can get a fixed amount of lumi every month.
It is the last word to have errands.
According to the usual practice, the chief master of the study room was a part-time job for the important officials of the imperial court, and did not need to teach students to read every day.
However, this does not mean that Yuzhu can sleep in every day.
Wherever the old emperor is, the ministers of the South Study Room must follow him.
Therefore, when he was not going to study, Yuzhu took Qingwen and the robbed women to live together in Shuchun Garden next to Changchun Garden.
Shuchun Garden, during the Qianlong Dynasty, had an extremely famous name, Shihu Garden.
The Shihu Garden and the Zhongtang Garden are also called the Shihu Garden.
After the old emperor moved into Changchun Garden, he stayed in Qingxi Bookstore.
As a result, the ministers in the South Study Room stayed in the bamboo house separated by a wall, waiting for the old emperor's call anytime and anywhere.
The older generation of Nanshufang ministers have died, been demoted, and promoted to official positions. There are not many left.
Among the current ministers of Nan Shufang, Yuzhu, who is the youngest, is actually the oldest and has the highest status.
Next, there is Zhang Tingyu, the Minister of Rites and the man who works in the South Study Room.
What is more interesting is that Song Zhu, the chief scholar of Manchuria, was not the minister of Nanshufang.
The old emperor still wanted to be shameless. The main reason why Yuzhu was able to enter the South Study Room where the Han officials gathered was because he won the first prize and had a strong foundation, so he could hold his own.
Song Zhu is a typical disciple of the Eight Banners. In the ninth year of Kangxi, he relied on his ancestor's influence to attack the Manchurian leader with the white flag.
Then, under the appreciation of the old emperor, Song Zhu rose through the ranks until he climbed to the throne of prime minister.
What is worth pondering is that it took Song Zhu forty-two years to reach the position of supreme minister, with power over both the government and the public.
On the other hand, Yuzhu, who entered the imperial court in the 45th year of Kangxi's reign, has only spent fourteen years to become the second prime minister.
There was no way around it. In the Qing Dynasty, if you wanted to achieve success, you had to stay humble in the heart of the emperor.
Yuzhu knew well that the old emperor arranged for Song Zhu to be placed on his head just to suppress his power.
Therefore, since returning to Beijing, Yuzhu has been very knowledgeable and has never appeared in the cabinet lobby.
Since you are not in power, why bother with those troublemakers?
Having a high status naturally has the benefits of high status.
In the bamboo house, the best position was naturally occupied by the jade pillar.
Zhang Tingyu didn't dare to compete with Yuzhu. Who dared to make a mistake among the newly arrived ministers of Nanshufang?
Today, Yuzhu's situation in Nan Study is quite similar to that of veteran cadres who have retreated to the second line.
With a double salary, he came late and left early. He didn't care about everything and let Zhang Tingyu take charge of the family.
When it was almost time for lunch, the young eunuch Qin Ding bent his waist, came close to Yuzhu, and whispered: "Sir, Liu Shangshan from the imperial dining room has ordered someone to come and ask for your permission. The lunch will be held at
Where to use it?”
After the old emperor settled in Changchun Garden, the imperial dining establishment in the garden became different from that in the palace.
The catering establishments in Changchun Garden are collectively called the Imperial Tea Dining Room, which consists of the Imperial Dining Room, the Inner Dining Room, the External Dining Room, the Prince Dining Room, the Imperial Tea Room, the Qing Tea Room, the Prince Tea Room, etc.
Among them, the inner dining room is responsible for the meals of the eunuchs, and the outer dining room is responsible for the meals of the imperial guards.
According to the rules, the external dining room is responsible for all meals consumed by the ministers in the south study room.
However, the old emperor knew that Yuzhu had a bad mouth and was afraid that he would not be able to get used to the food in the external dining room, so he specifically ordered that Yuzhu's daily meals and tea be served by the imperial dining room and the imperial tea room.
Yuzhu picked up the tea cup, glanced at Qin Ding, suddenly smiled, and asked him lightly: "How much money did Liu Shangshan stuff?"
Qin Ding had long been accustomed to Yuzhu's temper. He quickly bowed down with a smile and whispered: "Master, Liu Shangshan gave me a hundred taels of silver."
Yuzhu nodded. Anyone who tells the truth to his face is a good boy and will not be punished.
"Well, there is a vacancy for Deputy Shang Shan. Liu Shangshan is thinking about that coveted position." Yuzhu put down the tea cup and ordered, "But Liu Shangshan's money is particularly hot.
, it’s not easy to accept.”
Qin Ding bowed deeply and said tremblingly: "The little one should retreat quickly?"
Yuzhu nodded and said, "Have good habits. If you can't do something, you can't accept money from others. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand." Qin Ding nodded frequently like a chicken pecking at rice.
After receiving the money, he returned it, and it was unlikely that anyone would be convinced.
Yuzhu picked up a pen and wrote a note, gently pushed it to Qin Ding, and said lightly: "Take the note, go to Aunt Qing and ask her to withdraw two hundred taels of silver from the accounting room. If Aunt Qing is fine,
If asked, just say that I specially rewarded it for you because of your ability in doing things."
I remember that when Yuzhu concurrently served as the minister of bodyguard of the Manchurian leader with a yellow flag, the young eunuch sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve him was Qin Ding.
In other words, Qin Ding is not a domestic servant of the old Tong family, and is still affiliated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"Sir, how can this be done?" Qin Ding waved his hands repeatedly, not having the guts to ask for Yuzhu's money.
Yuzhu deliberately stiffened his face and said in a deep voice: "How can I take back the things I rewarded? If you want to know how to appreciate it, go ahead!"
"Hey." The jade pillar came hard, so Qin Ding had no choice but to obey and knelt down to receive the reward.
Qin Ding held the note signed by Yuzhu in his arms. After coming out of the bamboo house, he carefully walked into the imperial dining room.
At Liu Shangshan's place, Qin Ding met Wang Chaoqing, who had been waiting for a long time.
Wang Chaoqing took Yuzhu's autographed note from Qin Ding and went to find the old emperor without hesitation.
The old emperor looked at the approval note on the table and asked Wang Chaoqing calmly: "What else did he say?"
Wang Chaoqing lowered his head deeply, bowed his waist, and said unhurriedly: "Back to Lord Long Live, according to what Qin Ding said, Yuzhongtang asked him to return the money Liu Shangshan gave him as he received it.
"
"Well, what do you think about this?" The old emperor played with the Buddhist beads in his hand. After a long while, he asked Wang Chaoqing abruptly.
Wang Chaoqing could guess the old emperor's thoughts, but he did not dare to offend Yuzhu easily.
He was anxious, and cold sweat started to flow on his vest. He said hesitantly: "Back to Lord Long Live, I am stupid and stupid. I guess Yu Zhongtang just doesn't want to get involved in the vacancy of Deputy Shang Shan?"
"Humph, you are such a genius. If you are good at it, you will learn all those crooked ways that are unfaithful and unfilial." The old emperor ordered coldly, "Go down and get twenty pieces of board."
After the dynasty was celebrated, the old emperor called for Liu Jinzhong, the deputy chief minister of the imperial court.
Liu Jinzhong reported in a low voice: "Go back to Long Live Lord, after Yuzhongtang's daily shift, he went straight back to Shuchun Garden. According to the servants in the garden, Yuzhongtang likes to hang out with beauties all day long, almost
Barbecue every day..."
Liu Jinzhong's report was extremely detailed. The old emperor was very satisfied and rewarded him heavily.
When Wang Chaoqing learned the news that Liu Jinzhong had received a huge reward, he couldn't help but smile coldly and said in a nasal voice: "That boy is still very young. Huh, just wait and see, sooner or later, Liu Jinzhong will fall into trouble, and he will be far away from you."
