With Zhang Tingyu's help, Hongxi has become even more powerful, and both the speed and quality of memorials have made great progress.
As for Yuzhu, he has been sitting steadily in the cabinet lobby, handling daily government affairs calmly.
There is no comparison between government affairs in a small peasant society and government affairs in an industrial society.
After so many years of cultivation by Yuzhu, Acting Cabinet Bachelor Wendner is now fully capable of taking charge of his own role.
Wendner led thirty writers and spent two months filing the documents in the cabinet archives into categories.
In the past, whether it was when Tu Hai was in office or when Song Zhu was in charge, the subordinates in the cabinet were a very important class in the cabinet.
The reason is actually very simple. The previous ministers did not have the common sense of modern document management. The old files and regulations of the cabinet must rely on the assistance of subordinates.
According to the governance practices of this dynasty, if there are laws, follow the laws, and if there are no laws, follow the rules.
However, all established examples and old records have not been systematically sorted out.
It is said that the cabinet is iron-clad and the central hall is smooth, but the subordinate officials are a hereditary system passed down from father to son.
Over time, subordinate officials took advantage of loopholes in the system and became the actual masters of the cabinet.
There have long been rumors in the public that big things are at the command of the central officials, and small things are at the mercy of the subordinates.
On this day, Yuzhu left the office early and returned home to enjoy Davidova's ballet solo.
Before dinner, Longkodo sent someone to call Yuzhu.
Seeing Yuzhu standing respectfully in front of him, Longkodo felt very satisfied.
Well, the true prime minister of Manchuria did not dare to neglect the etiquette in front of him, Long Laosan!
Longkodo waved away all the servants in the room, and asked solemnly: "Zhu'er, do you really plan to support Hong Xi to rise to power in the future?"
Yuzhu shook his head without hesitation and said calmly: "To be honest with you, Amma, even if Hongxi is established as the grandson of the emperor, it will be extremely difficult for him to secure the throne in the future."
Longkodo nodded frequently and praised Yuzhu: "My son is indeed very discerning, and he is not inferior to your Ama and my demeanor back then!"
If Yuzhu just wanted to keep his wealth for a lifetime, he should express his attitude and persuade Longkoduo to join him in supporting Hongxi to rise to power.
After all, Hongxi is still young and has many uncles and kings watching him eagerly. He definitely needs the long-term support of Yuzhu and his son more than the fourth child.
However, Yuzhu has long harbored rash ambitions and wants to monopolize power first and then fully embrace industrial civilization. This cannot be explained to Longko.
The reason is actually very simple. The fourth man is very scheming. If Longkodo is allowed to infiltrate the fourth master's party, Yuzhu only needs to watch Longkodo's every move to deduce the strategy of the fourth man.
The fourth child is in the light and the jade pillar is in the dark. This is the right principle!
No matter how much Lao Si jumps around, the ultimate magic weapon for him to ascend the throne is Longkodo and Lao Shisan.
Lao Shisan is not only extremely shrewd, but he also spends all day hanging out in the market. He has deep connections with all the three religions.
To be honest, Yuzhu did not dare to send someone to secretly keep an eye on Lao Shisan.
However, this does not mean that Yuzhu has nothing to do with Lao Shisan.
Longkodo relied on the 30,000 soldiers of the infantry yamen, while Lao Shisan needed to break into the Fengtai camp, execute the imperial edict and kill the generals to seize power.
Yuzhu only had to send people to keep an eye on every move of the Fengtai camp, and he had grasped Lao Shisan's vitals.
Of course, Yuzhu knew better in his heart that if he was secretly eliminated in advance, the fourth child in the world would still be destined.
Hehe, it depends on whether the fourth child dares to do this to him!
Longkodo came to Yuzhu today, of course, not for a casual chat, but because he had something important to say.
"Zhu'er, what do you think will happen if you and my son support Hongxi's ascension to the throne?" Long Keduo asked Yuzhu thoughtfully.
"In that case, you and I, father and son, will become public enemies in the world!" Yuzhu sighed, "It will definitely feel uncomfortable to be the target of public criticism!"
Longkodo is not an idiot. How could he not know what Yuzhu said?
However, what Longkoduo understands better is that if Hongxi ascends the throne, the one who can really use him can only be Yuzhu, not Long Laosan.
Longkodo had never had a personal relationship with Hongxi before.
Without personal relationships, there is no emotion at all.
The emperor who has no emotions will fall out whenever he wants, so he has to guard against it.
On the contrary, if the fourth son ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he will definitely reuse his uncle, and Yuzhu will gradually lose power.
At that time, the old Tong family will still be the old Tong family that he grew up with. Yuzhu must be obedient and help take care of his younger brother Jiushi.
To put it bluntly, the relationship between Longkodo and Yuzhu is somewhat similar to the tangled relationship between Li Yuan and Li Shimin.
The father is not yet old, the son is already strong, but he is the only head of the family!
However, Yuzhu is much smarter than Yinreng. He has always respected Longko and has never shown any slightness.
To be honest, Longkodo really made great efforts in Yuzhu's smooth rise that year.
However, as Yuzhu grew vigorously, Longkodo felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart even if he did not speak.
Not to mention anything else, just the attitude of the servants is enough to show that Longkodo is not the absolute authority of the old Tong family.
There is no room for two masters in the family!
Anyway, ninety is still young, and Yuzhu will take over the old Tong family sooner or later, right?
This is Longkodo’s true thoughts.
However, although Longkodo had the means to coax the old emperor, he never saw clearly the true character of the fourth child.
"I came to you today to tell you that if the news changes, you'd better stay in the mansion. The mansion, huh, is very safe!" Longkodo's instructions were not the fourth child's confession.
.
Longkodo controls 30,000 soldiers and horses in the capital. If Yuzhu stays at home honestly, he will be extremely safe.
However, to Yuzhu's ears, these words were obviously superfluous, and it was tantamount to exposing the fourth general's intention to take action.
Of course, Yuzhu was from God's perspective, and he had long known that the fourth child was going to plot and play tricks.
Longkodo never expected that his own son Yuzhu would have big plans more than ten years ago!
Yuzhu also understood Longkodo's good intentions. After all, they were father and son. Could it be said that they really could not bear to fight with each other?
Well, Long Laosan, just because you still have the affection between father and son, I will definitely treat you well in the future!
After saying goodbye to Longkodo, Yuzhu walked back leisurely along the trail.
Today's conversation with Longkodo may seem inconspicuous, but it is actually of great significance!
At least, Longkodo revealed that he does not want to retire and go home now.
Alas, this man, even if he is a father and a son, has his own selfish motives in the face of the authority that responds to everything!
However, if Longkodo was allowed to support the fourth son and gain power, it would be impossible for the father to retreat and the son to inherit the wealth.
The only possibility is that both father and son were convicted and died violently in another room!
