Chapter 1012: Stop Sun (Three)

The sunset in the west, and the red glow fades.

Cao Mansion, living room.

Because the hall was wide and a little cold, Sun Wenqian sat on the chair, but his forehead was full of sweat. In the afternoon, he went to the Interior Office and found someone he knew, and wanted to inquire about his brother's dismissal from office, but the more he inquired, the more he was more shocked.

The candidate for the new Hangzhou weaving has been decided.

Sun Wenqian didn't know why this incident happened. Although it was a dereliction of duty, it also happened in his early years and was not a big mistake. He would never have thought that he was convicted of it.

Besides, the fabrics shipped to the capital are all ships from the Office of the Internal Affairs. The ship workers from the Internal Affairs are all familiar with each other. Even if a ship of cargo is soaked, the quantity is limited.

With his nephew, he not only met a female bachelor, but also went to Shuntian Mansion Prison.

Sun Wenqian felt that the Sun family was in trouble, which made people feel panic.

The Sun family's tribe members in the capital were all remote branches. The Cao family could think of helping Sun Wenqian.

Sun Jue did not come with him, and after picking him up from the yamen, he couldn't stand it. Although he was not a rich young man, he was also a pampered person who had never suffered. After staying in the Shuntian Prefecture yamen for several days, the fright and pain he experienced could not be explained clearly in one sentence, which made him lose half his life in.

Cao Yong did not know that there were guests at home, so after he came out of the Ministry of Revenue in advance, he followed several officials from the six ministries to Huangsi.

The living Buddha Zebuzundanbahutuktu, Outer Mongolia, passed away the day before yesterday.

The emperor came in person yesterday, and today all officials celebrated their sacrifices.

In addition to being a living Buddha of the Yellow Sect, the Great Lama is also the son of the late Old Khan of Khalkha and the younger brother of the late Old Khan of Tusitu. He is the highest-ranking elder in the Khalkha Mongolian royal family.

Although the great lama passed away in the capital, his Buddhist niche was transported back to Khalkha. In this way, he had to set out while the weather was not getting warmer.

Zhiran, who is a great disciple of the great lama, will return to Khalkha with it.

Therefore, in addition to walking along with everyone, Cao Yong also met Zhiran privately.

"As the great lama passed away, he will start looking for the reincarnation of a new living Buddha. At that time, the identity of your great disciple will be embarrassing. Do you have no other plans?" Cao Yong asked.

Although Zhixian had a court canonization, he was not a Mongolian. Khalkha belonged to the Qing Dynasty in name, but in fact he was indeed the world of the Mongols.

Following the great lama, Zhiran can still learn some of the secrets of Buddhism; the great lama has passed away, so there is no need for him to tie himself to Khalkha.

Zhiran looked calm and said lightly: "Yesterday, the emperor summoned the little monk!"

Cao Yong raised his eyebrows. Although Yongzheng was a Buddhist, he was also an absolute emperor. At this time, he summoned Zhiran, so he would not be to exchange Buddhism.

Cao Yong felt a heavy heart. Zhiran was originally controlled by Kangxi, and what else could restrain him was besides the Cao family. He really didn't want to let Yongzheng continue to control Zhiran.

Zhiran seemed to see Cao Yong's concern and smiled slightly.

He was already good at it, but now he has lost his youthful aura and is also a young monk. His smile has curved eyebrows and eyes, and there is still a little bit of Cao Yin's shadow.

Seeing this, Cao Yong was slightly stunned.

"Don't worry, he is the young monk who is responsible for the matter of looking for the reincarnation of the big lama. When he is found, the young monk will naturally have to return to Beijing to report his life." Zhiran said with a smile.

Seeing that he was speaking easily, Cao Yong shook his head and said, "Where is such a cheap place? From the time when the great lama passed away, it is a few years. If you look for it slowly, there will be some in more than ten years."

Zhiran said: "It won't be that long. Even if the court can wait, the Khalkha can't wait. Now the news of the great lama's death has not been sent back. When it is sent back, someone will naturally find the spirit child."

If it is really that simple, Yongzheng will pay special attention to this matter?

Because the Mongols believed in religion, Hutuktu was a king in Khalkha. The reincarnated spirit child in his infancy had great knowledge.

On Yongzheng's side, for the sake of the stability of Khalkha, he definitely did not want the reincarnation of the Great Lama to appear in the palaces of several Khalkha Khan. In that case, with the spiritual child as the sign, the Khalkha princes and princess behind him unified the Khalkha in disguise.

It is true that the imperial court used Khalkha as a barrier to the external vassal state, but a unified Khalkha is the ferocious wolf lying beside the couch. How can people feel at ease?

As the great disciple of the great lama, Zhiran is justified in intervening in finding the reincarnated spirit child, but he is in line with his brother's love and loses his sister-in-law's intention. If he stands in the court's position, he will become the public enemy of the Khalkha kings.

At that time, his life might be to give the Khalkha kings ambitions to sacrifice flags.

"The mantis arm is used to hit the chariot and hit the stone with an egg!" Cao Yong said in a deep voice: "Since you know the ambitions of the Khalkha kings, what's this?"

Seeing that his face was not good, Zhiran was silent for a while and said, "It's hard, but if it's a replacement for others, it's even more difficult to accomplish. It's just a stinky skin. Don't take it to heart by Master Cao."

Although Zhiran could see through life and death, Cao Yong could not watch him die.

He frowned and said, "Since you have not left the capital, you can plan another one... Since the Khalkha kings have set their sights on the position of the spiritual child, they must have been prepared. No matter when the great lama passes away, it is not difficult for them to find a child with the same birth year... If they want to prevent the Khalkha kings from controlling the spiritual child, there is only one way..." Speaking of this, he paused and said, "That is to announce in the name of the court that the reincarnated spiritual child will not be found in the Khalkha..."

Zhiran's eyes lit up when he heard this.

The descendants of Genghis Khan are spread throughout the northern border. In addition to Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia, Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Tibet, there are also Mongolians...

Cao Yong had this leisurely mind, only taking care of Zhiran's safety. He didn't know yet, because of his words, he determined the way to find the reincarnation of the living Buddha of Khalkha Hutuktu, which made religion and local governments in the Khalkha area confront each other for many years and could not be integrated.

Two hundred years later, when the reincarnated Hutuktu colluded with the local royal palace, the first thing he did was to break away from the central government and become an emperor and establish a country. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.

Just say that when Cao Yong returned from Huangsi, it was already dark.

Sun Wenqian was waiting in the living room to lose patience. If the Cao family had not been the same as before and could not have been matched by the Sun family, he would have wanted to roar and ask the Cao family about hospitality.

In fact, the Cao family did not neglect him, and the butler Cao Yuan was always accompanying the guests.

The tea in this tea cup was changed three times, and Sun Wenqian waited so hard that his eyes were about to be straight before he saw Cao Yong's shadow.

I heard that Sun Wenqian had been waiting for nearly two hours, and Cao Yong was also a little embarrassed.

Although he was not interested in Sun Jue, he had a good impression of Sun Wenqian. Compared with Sun Wencheng's hypocrisy and Sun Jue's shamelessness, Sun Wenqian always convinced others with reason and was a sensible person in the Sun family.

In addition, he is the nephew of the late Sun Taijun, Cao Yong is willing to respect him for these two points.

"I asked my cousin to wait for a long time, and my nephew was guilty. My fourth uncle arrived in Beijing and never wrote a letter to say that he would be the nephew who came to pay his respects." Cao Yong said.

Although Sun Wenqian was very irritable when he waited, he saw Cao Yong wearing a replenishment and his attitude was so warm that the irritability disappeared immediately.

He stood up and said with a little shame: "Furuo's virtuous nephew, now the Sun family is in turmoil, so I have to come to the door with a shy face." As he said that, he solemnly thanked Cao Yong.

Although Sun Jue was "bailed", he also heard Sun Jue mention that Cao Yong sent someone to the yamen to say hello, which made him feel better in the past few days. Therefore, Sun Wenqian still very much loved the Cao family.

After hearing this, Cao Yong smiled with shamelessness a few times, saying a few humble words.

He said hello, but he really said hello. He did not ask Cao Yuan to walk around the Shuntian Prefecture yamen.

The reason why Sun Jue lived in a single room these days was because of the arrangement of Chen Shouchuang, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture.

Sun Wenqian didn't talk much, but directly talked about Sun Wencheng's affairs.

Now, the only one that the Sun family can beg for is the Cao family. Sun Wenqian was very worried, afraid that his elder brother would inadvertently offend people he shouldn't have offended. The Sun family has no power in the court and its foundation is too thin.

"No matter what, please ask the cousin to go back to Beijing first." Seeing him talking about serious things, Cao Yong also put away the smile on his face and said seriously.

Now, what Cao Yong can pray is that Sun Wencheng is consistent in his words and greedy for less money.

After hearing this, Sun Wenqian was a little unwilling to give up and said hesitantly: "Brother has been in the weaving industry in Hangzhou for nearly twenty years. He has worked hard without any credit..."

It is also weaving, not to mention that the Cao family has become a child and a dog. The Li family is a little worse, but Li Xu has served as the Salt Administration for more than ten years and is also entitled as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Only Sun Wencheng, who has worked diligently for twenty years, is just a fifth-rank doctor.

Seeing that he was unable to think, Cao Yong sighed and said, "One emperor and one minister, fourth cousin, don't you understand this? Even if the eldest cousin is not at fault, he will be wrong in his position for a long time and occupying the place."

When Sun Wenqian heard this, he immediately changed his face and murmured: "If you say this, is the Li family..."

Cao Yong nodded and said, "Not only the Li family, but also the Jiangning weaving Lu family, I have been in office for more than ten years..."

Sun Wenqian's face gradually calmed down, but his heart became more at ease.

Seeing that the Sun family "defense never comes alone", he thought that the Sun family was plotted against; now he knew that the three major weavings in Jiangnan would be replaced, so he felt a little less worried.

"So that's it. Fortunately, I have Furuo's advice, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do if I was like a headless fly." Sun Wenqian breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Since we need to replace the old and new, we must check the old accounts of the weaving house. Looking at Sun Jue's early expenses, Sun Wencheng is indeed not like a greedy person. However, Cao Yong cannot be sure whether the real situation is true or not.

"A few days ago, due to the affairs of my cousin, a censor impeached my cousin. Now that the fourth cousin is in the capital, it is best to avoid walking around and ask someone to make a plan." Cao Yong thought for a while and said.

Before he knew the last charge of the Sun family, Cao Yong was unwilling to take the risk and involved the Cao family.

After hearing this, Sun Wenqian nodded and said yes.

Today he came to Cao's mansion. In addition to looking for Cao Yong to ask Sun Wencheng for details of his dismissal, he had another thing to say: "Furuo, your brother-in-law's situation is a bit bad. Not to mention the injury, he also suffered from cold. I am afraid he would have to take care of him for a few days... The people coming and going in the inn are not the realm of recuperation. Look, can you tell your elder sister and ask your brother-in-law to return to your house to recuperate..."

Although the Sun family's house used Cao Ying's dowry, it was a new house that was sold after the Sun family's old house.

Although the house was distributed to Cao Ying and his son after "the couple lived separately", they still had to return to Sun Wencheng's house to settle down when Sun Wencheng and his family entered Beijing.

Therefore, Cao Yong said happily: "The eldest sister is the most virtuous. I must be able to respond to the difficulties of the fourth cousin. Besides, it is not only my eldest cousin, but also my cousin, which is not good for me to stay in the inn. It is too late today, so tomorrow I will send someone to Haidian to tell my eldest sister that the fourth cousin is coming to Beijing. If the eldest cousin comes to Beijing, we must also prepare in advance."

After hearing this, Sun Wenqian thanked him again and again.

Cao Yong said a few more words with him. Seeing that it was getting late, Sun Wenqian got up and said goodbye.

The next day, Cao Ying received news from Cao Yong and brought his two children back to the city.

No matter what the relationship between husband and wife is, the relationship between father and son is a family. Since Sun Jue was ill, Sun Li, as a son, served as a sick person in front of the bed.

Seeing Cao Ying so virtuous, Sun Wenqian could only sigh. He had a thought in his mind. If he used this to reunite his eldest nephew and his nephew and his wife, it would be a good thing for the Sun family.

Although the Sun family and the Cao family were close relatives, Sun Taijun passed away for many years and is now the third generation leader of the Cao family. If Cao Ying and Sun Jue have a disagreement, it will also affect the relationship between the Cao and Sun families.

Sun Li was very respectful on his face, obeyed his mother's arrangements, and sooner or later served medicine in front of Sun Jue's bed, which was very filial. But when there was no one, he had a sneer on the corner of his mouth and looked at Sun Jue on the bed, with no warmth in his eyes.

In the end, Sun Wenqian was thinking that Sun Li was going to take the exam and advised Sun Li to study so that he would not let him take medicine again. He also wanted to use this to ask Cao Ying to take care of Sun Jue.

For the sake of her son's reputation, Cao Ying was able to arrange for her son to "fulfil her filial piety", but she could not act as a "virtuous wife". Therefore, she arranged for Liang to take care of Sun Jue.

Liang's family was about the same age as Cao Ying. Although they were a concubine, they were not as worried as Cao Ying, and they were a few years younger than their actual age.
