In the 40th year of Qianlong's reign, Hezhongtang began to prosper.
However, He Zhongtang stayed up until the second year of Jiaqing, when Agui died, before he officially became the Chief Military Minister.
It took a total of twenty-three years.
As the saying goes, if the name is not right, the words will not be right.
Although, He Zhongtang has already mastered the real power of the Military Aircraft Department.
However, Qianlong was also a smart man. He only gave real power but not status. He always deliberately let Agui over He Zhongtang's head.
On the other hand, since Yuzhu was selected as the number one scholar in the 45th year of Kangxi's reign, although there were frequent small setbacks in his official career, the overall trend has been upward.
It only took Yuzhongtang fifteen years to become the legitimate Prime Minister of the Xi Dynasty.
In terms of promotion speed, Yuzhongtang is eight years faster than Hezhongtang.
To be honest, because Yuzhu was a junior of the old emperor's mother's clan, although the old emperor was sometimes suspicious of him, he still favored him and trusted him and used him repeatedly.
The old emperor treated Yuzhu with kindness.
Therefore, as long as the old emperor does not close his eyes, Yuzhu will always pretend to be a loyal minister and a pure minister, without any second intention.
As for the old emperor kicking his legs, it's not up to him.
"Report to Zhongtang, Wang Zhongtang suddenly came in person, please see me outside." Wendner came in to report a new situation.
In today's cabinet, there are two Wang Zhongtang, namely Wang Xuling and Wang Guan.
In order not to cause confusion, thereby delaying important events and causing people to lose their heads.
Officials in the imperial court called the older Wang Xuling Wang Laozhongtang and Wang Guan Wang Zhongtang.
Before following Yuzhu, Wendena was only a nine-grade pen-poster of the imperial censor Yamen.
In just over ten years, as the jade pillar ascended to the sky, Wendana followed the chicken and dog to ascend to the sky.
Today, Wendena has been promoted from a third-rank Zhili inspector to acting cabinet bachelor, in charge of the cabinet's classics department.
Cabinet bachelors, starting from the second rank, will be given the title of Minister of Rites.
The Classics Department under the Cabinet is divided into North and South Departments, and its scope of authority is roughly equivalent to that of the Cabinet Office.
In order to reduce the power of the cabinet, the old emperor deliberately did not give the cabinet a seal.
Therefore, all external documents of the cabinet are guarded by the Department of Classics.
To put it bluntly, the seal of the cabinet is in Wendner's hands.
Yuzhu never formed a party for personal gain. However, as the legitimate Prime Minister of the Cabinet, he must hold the seal of the Cabinet.
Otherwise, Ma Zhongtang, Wang Zhongtang and others can use the seal to write to the public at will. What kind of style would it be?
Among the ceremonial supervisors of the former Ming Dynasty, only Eunuch Wei, who held the seal, was qualified to be praised as: nine thousand years old.
In his position, he plans his political affairs, which is the right thing to do!
As soon as Yuzhu sat down in the cabinet lobby, Wang Tong came to see him. No need to ask, he must be related to the deposed prince Yinreng.
If he were an ordinary first- or second-grade official, Yuzhu would be fully qualified to avoid seeing him.
However, Wang Tuan is not an ordinary person.
As early as the ninth year of Kangxi, Wang Tuan had passed the Jinshi examination and was selected as a Shujishi. His subject name was far ahead of Yuzhu.
That's all, in the 30th year of Kangxi's reign, when Yuzhu was only two years old, Wang Tong had been promoted to the second rank of cabinet bachelor.
In the 51st year of Kangxi's reign, Wang Tong officially entered the cabinet to become prime minister and has been re-elected to this day.
If Yuzhu avoids such a senior senior official, he will definitely give someone a thumbs up.
By that time, the impeachment details of the gossip officials will definitely submerge Yuzhu in a sea of saliva.
Yuzhu straightened his clothes a little, walked out of the cabinet lobby quickly, and went down the steps to greet him personally.
Wang Guan stood with his hands behind his back, his back facing the main entrance of the Cabinet Hall, obviously trying to show off his seniority.
"Oh, Senior Zhuan, I am late to greet you, please forgive me!"
Yuzhu didn't care at all about Wang Tuan's behavior of relying on his old age and bowing to the ground politely, showing great respect.
Because he was ranked second to Yuzhu, Yuzhu was simply not qualified for the official position, but he was respected as a senior in the examination room.
Wang Juan, whose courtesy name was Zaoru and whose name was Zhuan'an.
Yuzhu, the dignified Prime Minister of the Qing Dynasty, politely called him Senior Zhuan, which was as dignified as Zhang Zhidong being respected as Zhang Xiangshuai.
"Qing Qing, do you know that if you don't have long-term concerns, you will definitely have immediate worries?" Wang Guan opened his mouth and pretended to be suspenseful.
Yuzhu almost laughed out loud. Damn, is it interesting to deliberately pretend to be a ghost in front of the real Buddha?
Seeing that the old emperor was leaning toward Hong Xi, Wang Tong's mind became active again, and he began to think about getting Yin Reng out of Xian'an Palace first.
According to Wang Guan's logic, since the old emperor wanted to make Hongxi his grandson, in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, he should at least release his biological father, right?
Wang Juan was able to serve as prime minister for ten years. How could he be a political idiot?
Yuzhu's heart is like a bright mirror. Wang Juan's seemingly reckless behavior is actually a red heart and he is prepared with both hands.
Wang Guan is already old and his days are indeed numbered.
The worst outcome would be to sacrifice him alone in exchange for Hongxi being kind to the descendants of the Wang family after he ascends the throne in the future.
How could such a superficial wishful thinking escape Yuzhu's eyes?
"Senior Zhuan, please come and take a seat in the inner hall. While you are drinking tea, wouldn't it be nice to slowly teach the younger generation a lesson?" Yuzhu deliberately avoided answering and just politely invited Wang Dao to come inside and serve tea.
Wang Juan was slightly stunned. He originally thought that Yuzhu might not be able to keep his temper, so he would be given a chance to use the topic to his advantage.
Who would have thought that Yuzhu was like a thousand-year-old fox. Not only did he have an extremely low posture, but his words were also extremely pleasant, and there was no fault at all.
In the important space of the Cabinet Hall, the young new Prime Minister and the senior Prime Minister were fighting each other. The subordinate officials only dared to hide behind the windows and peek quietly.
The dignified prime minister actually said the words "teach the juniors a lesson". Wang Juan immediately realized that his original plan might be ruined.
However, Wang Juan was not even afraid of the old emperor, so how could he be afraid of Yuzhu?
So, accompanied by Yuzhu himself, Wang Tuan walked slowly into the cabinet hall with square steps.
Wang Juan knew clearly that Yuzhu's signature room was located in the east wing of the cabinet lobby, but he walked towards the west wing.
Yuzhu couldn't help but smile slightly and turned to wink at Wendner.
Wendner immediately went down to make arrangements.
After Wang Tong calmly sat on the main seat, Yuzhu simply stayed with him.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that Wang Duan's visit was not good, and he was probably secretly instigated by the fourth child.
Others don’t know Wang Juan’s old background, how can Yuzhu not understand?
At this juncture, the more Wang Tong mentioned Yin Reng, the more the old emperor hated Yin Reng.
According to the normal logic of hating Wujiwu, the old emperor hated Yinreng, but if he got involved with Hongxi, who was about to clear his name, it would be equivalent to doing the fourth child a big favor.
In the last years of Kangxi's reign, even though Lao Ba and Lao Fourteen were having a lot of fun, the only one Yuzhu really cared about was Lao Si.
The so-called Kowloon to seize the direct descendants, in fact, those who should be eliminated have already been eliminated. Now it depends on how the fourth child plays chess.
