Whether it is the thirteenth elder brother or Zhang Tingyu, they don't know that the reason why the emperor ordered Cao Hao to make palm prints is just because of a few Buddhist scriptures.

In Yongzheng's view, letting Cao Hao do the palm print is to increase his responsibility, which can be regarded as a small "punishment", and it can be regarded as reducing his heart to ask the Buddha.

It is too wasteful to be a good available courtier, not to serve himself and the Qing Dynasty, and to serve the Buddha.

Where did Cao Hao know that it was because of this, in addition to lamenting that creation made people, he also quietly paid attention to Zhang Tingyu's expression.

From the erosion of the early years, the operation of the household department to the current abundance of the treasury is largely due to Zhang Tingyu's contributions. When Cao Hao returned to Beijing from the post of governor of Zhili, the household department had been almost rectified, and he had done a little bit of the book, and now he took over the palm seal from the hands of the scholars, and Cao Hao was really afraid that Zhang Tingyu would be jealous.

A master like Zhang Tingyu, who is "a thousand words are not as good as a silence", if he holds a grudge in his heart, he can't keep it when he will have some yin.

As for the saying "the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly", it is just coaxing.

Officialdom is a big ink tank, and it is impossible to keep the slightest color from it, but it is just a matter of how much it is black.

Like Zhang Tingyu, who was born in the prime minister's mansion and went from a jinshi to a university scholar, serving two generations of emperors, they were all relied on as henchmen, and the city government was comparable to ordinary people.

Zhang Tingyu looked calm, nodded at Cao Haogao with a smile, and seemed to be very willing to hand over the seal letter in his hand.

The thirteenth elder brother did not shy away from Zhang Tingyu, and said with a smile: "At such an age, you will become the head of the book, and you should really make a good meal." However, when you recover from a serious illness, the master will not toss you, and you will honor the good wine stored in the family to the lord for a few jars......" Speaking of this, he pointed to Zhang Tingyu and said: "You can't save it on Mr. Zhang's side, prepare two packs of good tea from your side." ”

Zhang Tingyu touched his beard and nodded, and said with a smile: "If it is the side, the old man will not dare to accept it; If it's tea, it's a little exciting. ”

Ren said that he knew that Zhang Tingyu was an honest official, even if he was a foreign official, he was only willing to accept a gift of 100 taels, and a gift of more than 100 taels.

But he also has a hobby, that is, he loves to drink good tea.

Although the Zhang family is a prominent family in Tongcheng, it is not easy to live in the capital, and Zhang Tingyu's income is limited. Since Da Yongzheng ascended the throne, every time Zhang Tingyu was promoted, he was accompanied by silver and good tea.

Everyone knows that the best tea has a price, and the value is by no means only one or two hundred taels of silver.

Zhang Tingyu took the words of the thirteenth elder brother and took the initiative to ask for tea, not because he had never seen good tea, but because he expressed his goodwill to Cao Hao.

His front hand is very willing to help with the transfer of letters.

The thirteenth elder brother deliberately wanted to be filial, and the same was true, and he didn't want the two to have a disagreement because of the transfer of the seal.

Cao Hao appreciated it in his heart, and said busily: "It's rare that the prince and the adults don't dislike it, and the lower officials are grateful." ”

Unlike Cao Hao's confusion and disorder, Zhang Tingyu and the Thirteenth Elder Brother thought that they had guessed the emperor's intentions.

Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households are the most important, one is the appointment and dismissal of officials, and the other is the national taxation.

Both of them were handed over to Zhang Tingyu, and Zhang Tingyu's rights were too heavy, far more than that of several other scholars. Handing over the seal letter of the household department and leaving the officials alone is also the emperor's way of checks and balances.

As for why he didn't simply transfer Zhang Tingyu and choose someone else as the head of the household department, it was because of the important surname of the household department, which made the emperor unwilling to let the household department have any more personnel turmoil.

After all, the position of the head of the household is too fat, and not every official can maintain his guard like Zhang Tingyu and Cao Hao.

The emperor is extremely suspicious, and he can't trust others.

For this reason, Zhang Tingyu not only did not have a grudge against Cao Hao in his heart, but also was quite glad that it was Cao Hao who succeeded him as the palm print.

In other words, someone else served as the new Shangshu, and in order to highlight his political achievements, he had to show his strength in the household department.

It has not been two years since the household department was purged, and if it caused any turmoil, Zhang Tingyu would not be clear.

Cao Hao will not, colleagues for a year and a half, Zhang Tingyu also saw that Cao Hao is not an eventful surname. Even if he made a palm print, it was also "Xiao Gui Cao Sui".

As for the thirteenth elder brother, he also said that the emperor was dividing Zhang Tingyu's power, and he was also appeasing Cao Hao, who lost the head of the military department due to illness.

Although the outside world does not know the news of Cao Hao's transfer to the secretary of the military department, Cao Hao's party knows it.

It is said that the emperor is unkind and righteous, but the thirteenth elder brother knows that the emperor is also a person with a surname, and he thinks that which one is good, how can he not be treated badly.

The palm seal of the household department is also a major event in the government office, and it is not something that can be handed over by a few people in private.

The three of them said a few words, and the thirteenth elder brother asked someone to summon the four waiters and more than a dozen langzhong.

is not to explain anything to everyone, but to inform everyone that because the emperor has another important responsibility for Zhang Tingyu, the seal letter of the household department will be transferred to Cao Hao.

Zhang Tingyu also mentioned to everyone that he will be stationed in the Ministry of Officials in the future, and the Ministry of Household may not be able to withdraw from time to time, and hopes that all colleagues will work together to assist Cao Shangshu in how to do it.

No matter who is in charge of the department, for the officials, the benefits involved are not great.

But for many officials, Cao Hao is different from Zhang Tingyu.

Although Zhang Tingyu and Cao Hao are only one level apart, they can give people a completely different impression.

Cao Hao has been a langzhong in the household department, a waiter, and a scholar, and he can be described as an old man in the household department.

Zhang Tingyu is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he only ordered the household book after he was promoted to a university scholar.

Zhang Tingyu is not an arrogant person, but the name of a scholar and the status of a close minister of the Son of Heaven still make all the officials respect him.

In addition, Zhang Tingyu carried out the holy will and rectified the household, but the methods were not gentle, and there were some old grudges.

Hearing that Cao Hao replaced Zhang Tingyu as the head of the house, these people were of course happy in their hearts.

In the hearts of several waiters, there are all kinds of tastes.

It stands to reason that Zhang Tingyu is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and Cao Hao is recovering from a serious illness, and these two people can go up and down in the household department.

If they make room for it, maybe someone from the four of them will sign the book.

Even if you can't be promoted to the household department, only the household department is vacant, and the books of other departments are transferred, then there will be a series of local transfers, and whoever can't keep it will be lucky to go further.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tingyu still occupied the shortage of the household department when he went to take charge of the ministry, and Cao Hao, who was rumored to be terminally ill years ago, just looked pale, and really didn't look like he was sick and needed to recuperate.

Now, another emperor has been ordered, Cao Hao has become the palm seal Shangshu, and Zhang Tingyu has not changed places, and the disappointment in everyone's hearts is indescribable...... When everyone retreated, Cao Hao also found a clue in the chaos.

It's just that he doesn't know that this is his own doing, but like the thirteenth elder brother, he only thinks that the emperor is sharing power.

No matter how much the emperor trusts Zhang Tingyu, he also knows that he wants to be a loyal minister rather than a powerful person.

When they returned to their official hall, Jiang Jian and Zuo Chengdu were waiting here, saying hello to Cao Hao.

Although the two Shangshu of one ministry are of the same grade, the palm seal official is the real head of the one.

Cao Hao wanted to go with the flow, so he no longer rejected the matter of his palm print, and listened to the congratulations of the two with a smile.

The news in the capital has always spread the fastest, and Cao Hao's promotion to the head of the Shangshu is known to everyone within two days.

In addition to the people of Caofu, the most joyful is Yiduli.

Even if Cao Hao persuaded and enlightened, he inevitably felt guilty in his heart, and he was also careful when doing things in the yamen, for fear of making some trouble.

Unexpectedly, there was a turnaround after the Spring Festival, and Cao Hao became the head seal officer of the household department.

When it comes to ranking and decency, the household department is even more in front of the military department.

Yi Duli was relieved, and when he heard the news, he came to Cao's mansion and restored his surname in front of Cao Hao.

When he returned to Beijing and gave birth to a ministry again, Iduli felt that he was complete, but he still felt regretful.

As for the idea of going further and something like that, it occasionally flashed through his mind, and then he was denied by himself.

How did the merits of the military department come out? If the world is peaceful, the military department will have little room to play; Only when the frontier is in chaos and the army is dispatched can the ability of the military department be demonstrated.

At present, although the border chaos has been completed, the major military affairs cannot be accomplished in a single sentence.

The meritorious service of the military department is hopeless for the time being, but Yi Duli is down-to-earth in his heart and acts much more calmly.

At this time, there was no one around, Yi Duli did not hide his complaints, and said to Cao Hao: "Being in a high position, I don't know how many people are staring, I really don't dare to do anything bad...... I heard that several new classes have entered Beijing in the past two years, and they must take a good look at the early stage. ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

For Yiduli, the most beloved thing is not to listen to the drama, but to be amorous and lustful.

In the early years in Shanxi, the gentry who walked the door did not give beauties.

Although Yi Duli did not dare to take concubines and break the law, he also left two good-looking maidservants by his side.

Now that I have returned to the capital, I have a world of flowers, but I have no relationship with Yidu, how can I not sigh.

This is "Caishan is easy to change his surname and difficult to change", but after all, this is Yiduli's private matter, and Cao Hao can't say much, so he can only listen with a smile.

Yiduli is the Cao Mansion after the fall of the Ya, and the dinner in the Cao Mansion is consumed.

After three rounds of drinking, Yi Duli no longer mentioned the errands in the yamen, but praised his third son.

What was raised in front of my grandmother for good duty, what can be literary and martial, what filial piety and etiquette. What their husband and wife have already calculated, and in the future, the second son and second daughter-in-law will serve at home, and the eldest son and third son will go out separately.

At the beginning, Cao Hao didn't care too much, and there was a sentence that he didn't say to Yiduli; When I heard it, I didn't think it was like it.

Cao Hao didn't dare to answer this conversation, so he looked for a reason to diverge from the conversation.

Until he got down from the table and arranged for someone to send Yi Duli back, Cao Hao was still a little distracted.

The grandson of a university scholar, the youngest son, moved out of the house to live in another place, and did not have to wait by the side of his in-laws, which is indeed a good family business.

But the child's surname is either Xiao's father or Xiao's mother.

Zhao Jia's is still put, but he has a harder temper; Yiduli's original surname is not bad, but the lustful Bing surname can't be changed.

With such a father, Ilgen felt that no matter how good the strengths of the three sons of the Luo clan were, they were covered......
