Chapter 1023 Tiger Bone (Part 2)
In addition to commending Cao Yong, Yongzheng also discussed several official duties of the Ministry of Revenue, one of which was to exempt Sichuan and Shaanxi from unfinished money and grain before the 60th year of Kangxi.
In name, since the launch of the army, there have been many places in the two provinces; in fact, anyone can see that this grace is only for one person.
Nowadays, all provinces are checking for deficiencies, and only officials in Shaanxi and Sichuan are spared.
Except for the Thirteenth Prince who had known this for a long time, this is the first time that others have heard of it.
Yongzheng's favor for the Nian family is well known.
Outside were Nian Xiyao and Nian Gengyao, two chief officials, and inside were Nian Concubine who ascended the throne of imperial concubines. Nian's family was rising and they were so fierce that they could not be regarded as strong.
The queen's legitimate son died young. Among the sons of Yongzheng, although the prince born to the imperial concubine was only three years old and had no grace, he was the most noble.
If it weren't for the fact that Hongli, who had been raised by Kangxi, this young prince would be the well-deserved candidate for the crown prince.
Even if Hongli was raised by the predecessor, what could it be? It would be different.
Although no one is standing in line now, everyone should think about the matters related to the Nian family.
Compared with the favors of the Duke and the Lord, the two savings of money and food were reduced, and such grace would be somewhat over.
Others didn't realize anything, but Longkodo's heart began to feel sour water.
He was also a relative of the foreigner. He was the emperor's uncle. He came from the Tong family and did his best when the emperor ascended the throne. However, he was appointed as the Taibao together with Nian Gengyao. He just inherited his ancestral title and inherited the first-class Duke. Nian Gengyao was named the second-class Duke and Xunji was named the third-class Duke.
Now, due to Nian Gengyao, officials from Shaanxi and Sichuan have been preserved.
What kind of virtue is Nian Gengyao? He is so respected by the emperor?
However, Longkodo has always been scheming, and no matter how dissatisfied he is in his heart, he will not show his feelings in front of others.
After a while, officials from the Ministry of Revenue were kneeling down, and only a few grand senators and two princes of affairs were left in front of the emperor.
"The funeral of the late emperor is about to be imminent. The censor Nian Xi wrote a letter to ask for the removal of Shanxi and Shaanxi's petty households. This is a favor to the people. What do you think?" Yongzheng asked with some expectations.
Shanxi and Shaanxi Lehu were a low-ranking family, which was the disposal of the former officials of Jianwen during the Yongle period.
Originally, it was a family of nobles and descendants of loyal ministers, but they were punished to be "substantial". Women have been prostitutes for generations, and men can only engage in "substantial careers". Life is worse than death.
Nian Xi wrote a memorial to "eliminate the cheap and become good", which can be regarded as "remedy the chaos."
Yongzheng was originally an emperor who valued people's livelihood. He naturally agreed from the bottom of his heart that kindness that kindness that would be a name for the people and leave a name in history.
The Thirteenth Prince and his brother have been together for many years and know their temper. After he asked, he took the lead in echoing.
Seeing this, everyone followed the Thirteenth Prince and agreed to this matter.
Longkodo lowered his head and said something in agreement, but his brows couldn't help but frown.
It was another matter related to the family in the same year.
Nian Xi has been on vacation for ten months and is not in the yamen. Why did he suddenly remember to submit a memorial?
How could he, the Zhejiang Road Censor, make a comment on Shanxi and Shaanxi?
Longkodo did not believe that Nian Xi, a sick man, could be so diligent. In his eyes, this kind of good deed was the emperor's desire to be kind to the people, and the reason why he entrusted Nian Xi with his reputation was just to give Nian Xi a merit for nothing.
Seeing that everyone agreed and was in a good mood, Yongzheng decided on the matter with great words.
After discussing for another half an hour, he talked about several major events in the court. Most of them were the arbitrary heart and the others were submissive.
"I was negligent when I saw the sun getting enough before I came out." Chu Yu replied softly.
Seeing that she was in a safeguard, the Eighth Concubine raised her chin and said, "Okay, Seventh Sister, can I just not be able to get to the door here, and will I even eat your big princess?"
"Look at your wise mouth, most of you are unwilling to let someone go." The Seventh Concubine said with a smile when she heard her speak bluntly and it was difficult to respond.
"Sister-in-law Qi is really partial. I didn't say anything, just ask me to let someone?" The Eighth Concubine also smiled, but there was a bit of strength and decisiveness between her eyebrows.
The seventh concubine saw that she was getting less and less reliable, but she smiled without saying a word, but she thought about the intention of the eighth concubine to invite her and Chu Yu to come.
Seeing her shut up, the Eighth Concubine turned to Chu Yu and said, "The big princess is now busy with noble people, and I can't even invite her. They say that your wife is a kind person, why do you think of me ashamed? Can't you be so embarrassed to me like this? At the end of my life, I'm so angry that I'm already a little bit angry.
Seeing this, Chu Yu hurriedly stood up and said, "Aunt Ba, don't bother with niece. Since the first month of the year, my old lady has been in poor health and has been at home for the past two months. Not only is it my aunt, but others don't go there either. Our husband has another job, and we were not in Beijing a few days ago. Although the niece was willing to come to pay tribute to my aunt, she couldn't get out of her body. This was delayed until today and apologize to my aunt."
After hearing this, the Eighth Concubine looked a little slow and said, "You old lady is sick, why haven't you heard of it outside?"
"It's also a chronic disease. I only asked the imperial physician to prescribe two prescriptions to take care of it." Chu Yu replied: "Our old lady gave her orders, and she didn't want to cause trouble at this time."
Although she said something hidden, it also pointed out that Li's situation was embarrassing and embarrassed.
When the Eighth Concubine heard this, she suppressed the resentment in her heart.
She waved her hand and sent the maids and mothers down, and then said to Chu Yu: "Your Madam has different identities. Even if she is in front of the new emperor, she should be a bit decent. If she can come forward to ask for love for the Li family, the emperor can still hold a slave and refuse to let go? More than two months have passed, and you and your wife can stay there, so aren't you afraid of being the bad reputation of your uncle?"
The Seventh Concubine was by her side and couldn't help but frown.
The Eighth Concubine tried to be as peaceful as possible, but she also criticized the Cao family. She also talked about her daughter, son-in-law and in-laws in front of her mother-in-law, which was very rude.
If I just talk about her and Cao Yong, Chu Yu wouldn't say much. After all, the Eighth Concubine was an elder. But when it comes to her mother-in-law, she was not easy to listen to, so she defended Li: "My old lady is a foreign wife. Without the imperial edict in the palace, she can't even get in the palace, let alone the imperial front."
The Eighth Concubine snorted, disagreed: "Who doesn't know that the Sixteenth Prince is a regular visitor to your family. If Li really wanted to plead for the Li family, how could there be no way?"
She has always been arrogant and has no time to speak after her husband dies.
When Chu Yu defended her mother-in-law, she felt repressed and angry that she had previously surged out again, and her tone was a little rude.
Chu Yu is a junior. Although she is annoyed by her rudeness, she is not good at quarrel with her.
Seeing Chu Yu in a dilemma, the seventh concubine raised her eyebrows and said, "My brother and sister, please be careful! Even if you are unhappy in your heart, you don't tell the truth about the old lady in your in-laws in front of your niece. If a word is spread, you will think that our big princess is disrespectful to her aunt."
The Eighth Concubine knew that she had made a mistake and said embarrassedly: "I didn't mean it, and I'm not anxious about the Li family's affairs. No matter how noble the Grandma of the Cao family is, she is still an aunt from the Li family on the surface. At this time, if she doesn't help the Li family, who will help the Li family?"
Regarding the Li family, the Seventh Concubine only heard a few words, so she vaguely advised: "Since my younger brother and sister know this, I should know that at this time, the saddest thing is the old lady in the family. If she hadn't been worried about the Li family, she wouldn't have been sick for a long time. Since it was related to the court, it was not something that we women should ask. Brother and sister and sister are relaxed, you just feel sorry for your daughter and son-in-law. Your niece is still studying, and your grandfather's job is not good, so you will never involve your grandson."
After hearing this, the Eighth Concubine was at ease and muttered: "The emperor wants to kill the chicken and scare the monkey. Can Li Xu's crime be less serious? If no one deals with it, it will not be uncommon to implicate his descendants."
The Seventh Concubine said: "Since I know the emperor's meaning, my younger brothers and sisters have to come forward to arrange things. Wouldn't it add fuel to the fire?"
When the Eighth Concubine heard this, she was speechless.
How could she not know about these powerful relationships? She was just worried about her adopted daughter and was unable to stand by and watch.
When Chu Yu saw the two of them talking, he also said, "Yes, Aunt Ba, our old lady dare not move lightly, and he also took this into consideration. The emperor was holding anger at the Li family, so it was not advisable to have trouble at this time. The Li family has an aunt's daughter, son-in-law, and our old lady's nephew and nephew and grandson. Who wouldn't let it go?"
The Eighth Concubine was so depressed by their mother and daughter that she was no longer as righteous as before, saying, "In this way, I really have to take one step and see one step!"
She was a little depressed and had no mood to talk about it.
Seeing this, the seventh concubine sued him and took Chu Yu out of the county prince's mansion.
"It's rare that you can come out and sit with my house." The Seventh Confucian took Chu Yu's hand and said, "I summoned me to take your seventh sister into the palace yesterday. I think I'll be ordered to marry soon."
While talking, she pulled Chu Yu and got on her frame.
"Seventh sister only went to the forefront next year. It's too early to marry now?" Chu Yu remembered his half-sister. He was born before he left the house and was only one year older than Niu Niu.
"It's getting late. You were also the one who was fourteen years old. This year, you will choose someone else and get married next year. Now the emperor values you, Ama, and only hopes that the seventh princess will be blessed and refer to the son of a lord in the capital, so as to save the Mongolian suffering." said the seventh princess.
Since the fifth princess got married, the seventh princess was lonely and brought the seventh princess to the side, so he was also a little sincere to this concubine.
Chu Yu thought about the three sisters he married, and the two stayed in Beijing. Compared with other royal palaces, he was already too lucky. If the seventh princess also stayed in Beijing, it would be supreme grace...
As soon as the carriage entered Dongjiang Mi Lane, a manager came to greet him and said through the curtain: "Master Fujin, someone has come from the palace. The prince asked the servant to come to welcome Fujin back to the mansion."
After hearing this, the Qi Fujin was surprised and turned to Chu Yu and said, "Can it be that the seventh princess's order to marry has come down, why is it so fast..."
In the front hall of the palace, Chen Fu did not see the Seventh Prince. He smiled and said to the Seventh Prince, "Why, the prince will accept the order first?"
The seventh prince said, "It's good." Then, he knelt down with his sons to receive the order.
