Chapter 1033 (Part 1)

From the capital to the imperial tomb, the funeral team walked for five days, and arrived at Jingling on the second day of April.

This place is majestic and spectacular. It is the tomb of Emperor Daxing. It was built in the fifteenth year of Kangxi and completed in the twenty-year of Kangxi. The late concubines of Emperor Daxing were buried in Jingling.

First, the emperor led the royal family and the ministers of civil and military affairs to visit the temporary palace, salute, drink wine, and mourn. Then, he went to worship the tombs and accompanying the empresses. Finally, he knelt down to welcome the coffin at the south of the Jingling Monument Pavilion.

Amid the low and mournful rituals, Cao Yong also felt a sense of sadness. This coffin was an emperor who was difficult to judge the merits and demerits of later generations, and an elder who had expressed his kindness and kindness to him.

With the arrival of the coffin, Yongzheng burst into tears, and the kneeling princes and officials naturally matched each other. For a time, hundreds of princes and ministers, and thousands of Eight Banners guards wailed in unison, and the crying was really shocking.

Cao Yong knelt on the ground, feeling the "buzzing" of his eardrums, thinking that the original sentimentality was only the absurdity of watching a big show. However, he did not dare to be independent, and he had to follow the crowd and rub his sleeves against the corners of his eyes.

The spicy ginger juice stimulated the tears, and tears suddenly surged like a spring...

When the coffin was settled in the Enjoy Hall, we could not be sad again. Many old ministers were shaking and their voices were hoarse. After the ceremony, they needed someone to support them.

Cao Yong also supported someone in his hand, which was Zhang Boxing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

His body was already shaking, but he insisted on falling behind the officials. Looking at the Enjoy Hall, he respectfully performed the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows, and made a rumor in his mouth, not knowing what he was saying.

Cao Yong helped him up and said, "The heroic spirit of the late emperor is far away. Please mourn on the day of the Lord!"

Zhang Boxing nodded and said, "Mr. Cao is affected, and I am losing my composure!"

Cao Yong did not speak anymore, and silently accompanied him, followed everyone, and walked back to the palace. He had wiped his tears long ago. If it weren't for the wetness of the front and the red bloodshot eyes, he wouldn't have seen that he had cried so disobediently.

After sending Zhang Boxing, Cao Yong returned to his residence and was a little dazed.

Even though he knew that Kangxi was his blood relative and had been a monarch and minister for more than ten years, Cao Yong still regarded himself as a bystander most of the time.

Most of the time, I am always on guard?

He rubbed his forehead and called Xiaoman, "Is there any news about the old lady and the wife?"

Xiaoman replied: "The wife sent someone to send a message, saying that the old lady and the wife would follow the queen, the queen and others to visit the tomb and salute."

When Cao Yong heard this, he nodded, thinking to himself that he didn't know that the empress dowager had nothing to do this time, so he came to hold the courtesy obediently, whether it was his obedience to the Emperor Daxing or because of his concern for the 14th Prince.

In known history, the end of the 14th Prince in the Yongzheng Dynasty was to "guard the tomb".

Cao Yong thought of this and looked out the window, surrounded by green mountains, and the land guarded by heavy troops. If he could stay calmly, he could cultivate his character.

The empress dowager at this time was not as calm as Cao Yong imagined.

At the residence of the palace, she grabbed the back of the chair, and the blue veins on the back of her hand were exposed, and she stared at Yongzheng fiercely and said, "Where is the Eleventh, I want to see Eleventh!"

This is the first time that the mother and son have met each other since the New Year.

She was originally rich, but now she was thin and weak, with white hair. She was obviously a 60-year-old woman, but she looked even older.

After all, he was the mother of the birth body. Yongzheng couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the queen mother saying angrily: "If he had any mistakes, I would go underground and curse you for a bad death!"

When Yongzheng heard this, his body staggered and felt his heart cut like a knife.

Seeing that Yongzheng was out of control, the empress dowager thought she was talking, and suddenly became flustered. She stood up and grabbed Yongzheng's arm, and said sharply: "What's wrong with the 14th Prince?"

Her face was full of fear and anxiety, and deep concern and thoughts, and tears had fallen down. All of this was for the sake of the youngest son.

Yongzheng's heart suddenly became hard.

He picked the corners of his mouth, showed a bit of sarcasm, and said, "I will not make any mistakes if I agree to it; as long as the empress do what I should do, of course I will see the fourteenth brother."

The Empress Dowager stared at him, struggled for a moment, then lowered her arm, and said lightly: "I understand! I won't bother the emperor, please kneel down and rest."

After hearing this, Yongzheng turned around and left without stopping for a moment.

In the yard, the queen was waiting. Seeing that he came out with a look of discomfort, she stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to visit the tomb. I salute you. The Empress Dowager..."

"I'll ask the Queen Mother to invite me, and she's ready for it." Yongzheng said.

When the queen heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the queen mother didn't come out again, she could only ask the imperial physician to come over and "take the pulse". Then, she, the queen, took the wife of the inside and outside to salute.

In that case, there will inevitably be some speculations about the empress dowager and the emperor and his son.

After all, it is related to filial piety. Even if you are a king, you must also care about the four words "people's words are fearful".

Next, although the Empress Dowager did not give the Queen any good face, her etiquette was finally completed under the guidance of the etiquette officer.

When returning to the palace, the Queen Mother finally met the Fourteenth Prince...

Although no one knew what the mother and son said, they became ill after meeting the queen mother. The 14th prince received an order after returning to the palace the next day and lived in Tangquan near the mausoleum.

Because the news was not deliberately concealed, it soon reached the ears of princes and ministers.

Some people are gloating, while others are relieved. All the evil people are left behind. Can the ministers who have been flattering to the 14th Prince have escaped?

Compared with the heavy weight when we went there, everyone was much happier when they returned to Beijing.

Cao Yong was in a good mood for a few days. As soon as he returned home, he received news from Wu Sheng that the Li family's institution who came to the capital had been detained by the Jiumen Admiral's Office.

Cao Yong's heart sank suddenly, not for the fate of the Li family, but then thought of Yongzheng's sticky rod.

Wang Gui is just an inconspicuous manager, how could he arrest him shortly after he left the Cao family? How many emperor's eyes are there in his mansion?

On the side of Li and Chu Yu, Su Xin and his maid welcomed him outside the second door.

Li was a little tired, so he went back to Lanyuan to take a nap and sent the juniors down; Chu Yu took Su Xin back to Wutong Garden.

Seeing that Chu Yu's expression was still good and there was no symptoms of fatigue, Su Xin talked about the affairs in the mansion for about ten days, and then handed over the cards.

Chu Yu thanked Su Xin again. Although the sisters-in-law were not as emotional as Chu Yu and Jinghui, they also spoke in the same way. They talked about the details after the separation.

While talking, a little maid reported that the eldest aunt was back.

Chu Yu didn't feel anything yet. Su Xin had already moved slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Chu Yu: "Sister-in-law, there are something wrong with my aunt these days..."

"What's wrong?" Chu Yu was a little confused: "The Sun family bullies her again? The Sun family needs to beg our family to have a lot of things, so why dare to bully the eldest aunt?"

"Not this. Since the day my elder brother and sister-in-law left the city, my elder aunt has been here three times, and every time I come to the West Mansion..." Su Xin replied.

"Huh?" Chu Yu heard this and spoke in surprise. The first chapter was fine, maybe something came to the door; then he knew that the master was not there, so he would come to the second chapter, but the third chapter seemed a bit rude.

Although Cao Ying is the daughter of the Cao family, her parents' family is in the East Mansion. What is the purpose of coming here one after another?

At this moment, Cao Ying had arrived, and Chu Yu and Su Xin came to the corridor to greet each other.

After having half a cup of tea with him, Chu Yu discovered Cao Ying's abnormality.

Cao Ying lost weight a lot, but his face turned abnormally blue and white.

"Grandma, you've been feeling well recently. Are there any uncomfortable places?" Chu Yuxuan thought for a while and asked, "Looking at the great reduction. Now the season has changed. If there is any uncomfortable place, it's better to hire an imperial physician as soon as possible and don't delay it."

Cao Ying shook her head and said, "I'm not feeling uncomfortable, I just hope you can come back soon."

When Chu Yu saw that she was unwilling to say it, he changed his mind and started chatting about family matters at will.

Cao Ying was a little anxious and hesitant, indicating that the purpose of coming was to borrow ginseng. The Sun Family's fifth descendant family was beaten ten days ago and was beaten hard. It was very bad. He needed ginseng to be raised, and he couldn't buy good ginseng outside.

Su Xin was beside him, and she couldn't help but frown when she saw Cao Ying saying this.

Chu Yu smiled and didn't take it in his heart. He called Le Chun and gave a few instructions.

Seeing this, Cao Ying held the tea, but yawned, and the corners of his eyes were a little wet.

After a while, Le Chun brought in a brocade box, which contained ginseng.

Cao Ying held the ginseng and looked at Su Xin with a little dissatisfaction. Su Xin could only smile bitterly.

Cao Ying got the things, but didn't sit for a long time, so he said goodbye and left the house.

Chu Yu and Su Xin looked at each other, and their eyes were full of worries.

"When I came back, I saw that my aunt was wrong. After a few slaps, I realized that it was my aunt who was taking 'Fu Shou Paste'," said Su Xin.

When Chu Yu heard this, he said in surprise: "Fu Shou Paste? That's a fatal thing. How could my aunt get this?"

Su Xin didn't respond, so why was there any reason? It was mostly because of Sun Jue's relationship. It was just that Cao Ying was her elder sister-in-law, so she didn't have much to say.

Chu Yu shook his head and signaled Le Chun to come forward. She was holding a brocade box in her hand, which was bigger than the one she gave to Cao Ying just now.

Chu Yu took it, pushed Su Xin down, and said, "She asked for ginseng a few times before! She must be unwilling to pay from the account with her younger siblings, and most of them filled it by herself. There are a few ginsengs, so she should put it away."

Su Xin refused to accept it, couldn't stand Chu Yu's begging, and finally nodded...

Sun's house, front hall.

I heard that it was from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Sun Wencheng personally accompanied him.
