As late April comes, the weather suddenly gets hotter.

At this time in previous years, the Holy Lords had to leave Beijing and go to Rehe. The powerful and powerful people in the capital either followed their entourages to leave Beijing or went to the village outside the city to escape the heat, but this year there was no movement.

Those who are active in their hearts guess whether the empress dowager is sick, the emperor is sick, and cannot get out of his body. Only those who are well-informed will know that the empress dowager and the emperor and his son are still in a stalemate, and there is no intention of reconciliation.

Although the emperor gave the title of "Renshou" to the Empress Dowager, the royal daily records and related decrees are also written by "Renshou Queen Mother", but in fact, the empress dowager refused to respond repeatedly and refused to accept the ceremony of treasure booking.

After returning from Jingling, the emperor went from paying respects every day to pay respects every five days, but he still paid tribute in the courtyard of Yonghe Palace in the first day of Yinchu, and the mother and son never met at all.

The ministers were fine, no matter how much they muttered in their hearts, they could only respect the emperor's orders.

Princes and ministers are used to enjoying it, and they all have summer resorts in Rehe, but this saint still has no intention of escaping the summer, so everyone can't sit still.

According to the "Law of the Qing Dynasty", royal family members and princes who have no orders to leave the capital for hundreds of miles will be punished by death. Everyone is surrounded by the capital, and the days when they can let go of the wind will only be the summer months.

The Sixteenth Prince became the target of the mansions of the great princes and princes. Everyone wanted to know when the emperor could leave the capital and whether he would leave the capital.

If you don’t leave Beijing, everyone will have to find a way to go to the suburbs to escape the summer heat.

Yongzheng did not come out of order, and the Sixteenth Prince was not good enough to say whether the emperor would go or not, so he could only say "I don't know".

It's obviously the truth, but who believes it?

He was a prince without a title from a Han concubine and suddenly became the king of Iron Hats. Everyone just regarded him as the emperor's confidant.

He only annoyed the Sixteenth Prince, so he could only catch Cao Yong and complained: "The emperor is the same. If he doesn't go, he won't go. I will give everyone a decree to rest assured, and I will just drag it on like this."

Cao Yong also felt strange in his heart and asked, "Sixteenth Master, the emperor has just ascended the throne. Didn't he go to Rehe to be worshipped by Mongolian princes? Why didn't he go?"

The sixteenth prince smiled and whispered: "I'm thinking, the emperor is reluctant to give up the money."

This answer is so surprising.

Cao Yong was a little puzzled and said, "Isn't the inner treasury... rich?"

Half a year after ascending the throne, in addition to taking over the millions of gold and silver accumulated by the two generations of princes of Prince Zhuang's mansion, Yongzheng also confiscated the homes of many officials, and all of their property were confiscated.

Yongzheng has repeatedly rewarded his ministers recently, and he looks quite generous. He just gave Zhang Tingyu, the Minister of Rites, a house, and 1,000 taels of silver.

The emperor gave a house, but there was no less than three places to enter, and it was located at the foot of the imperial city, where every inch of land was valuable. This reward was rich.

The sixteenth prince shook his head and said, "No matter how generous this place is, it is only ten thousand taels of silver. When you go to Rehe, the Mongolian princes and ministers will reward them, and the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers who are surrounded will reward them, and at least several million taels of silver will be required. Inner Mongolia is different from Outer Mongolia. After many years of worship, they have been building cities and live in the city, and they are no longer braver in their early years. The emperor wants to give grace and directly summon Mongolian princes who have given flowers to Beijing to pay homage. Even if they want to reward some silver at that time, it will save more than the Northern Tour. The emperor has recently summoned two ministers of the Ministry of Works, looking at the meaning of that, it is to carry out major fortifications that concern people's livelihood. The national treasury is not rich, and it is not uncommon for the emperor to use the silver from the inner treasury."

Cao Yong was moved when he heard this.

Compared with Kangxi's honor of fame, it is admirable that Yongzheng, a controversial emperor, could put the people first in the livelihood of the people.

After the sixteenth prince finished speaking this himself, he thought of this and did not complain earlier. He said to Cao Yong: "The emperor is a diligent king. He will rise before Yin every day and stop at the time of the school. This is what the wise kings from ancient times to the present."

After hearing this, Cao Yong felt helpless. He deserved to be exhausted.

I have to do everything myself, only worry.

If you talk about employing people, Yongzheng is really not as good as Kangxi.

Even if his important confidants are unwilling to delegate power, he has to make his own decisions in everything.

If you are in charge of a business, it would be fine, you can eliminate the disadvantages and understand government affairs. As the king of a country, if you are so arrogant, it is really not the way to live long.

Later generations rumored that Yongzheng died of mercury poisoning after taking too many pills.

The ammunition in this palace was either used for sex or to refresh the spirit. Judging from the number of concubines of Yongzheng, he was not a greedy monarch.

To handle government affairs and run this country, it is much more important for him to conquer women in bed.

Seeing Cao Yong pondering silently, the sixteenth prince said, "What are you thinking? Is this?"

Cao Yong said: "Sixteenth Master, there are no new coffee beans from the Ministry of Internal Affairs this year? If it is convenient, please help me get some?"

The Sixteenth Prince looked at him curiously and said, "Don't you think that the thing is troublesome and grinding and cooking? Why do you think of this again?"

Although some merchants sell coffee to China now, it is rare. When Wei Xin was still in Guangzhou, Cao Yong asked him to pay attention to this and exchange it for a bag of coffee beans.

However, Cao Yong is not a professional. Although he has asked people to process the coffee beans twice according to the baking, grinding, boiling, and over-thinking procedures, he always feels that the taste is wrong, so he put it down and didn't drink it. He has long since thrown away the remaining coffee beans.

"I saw that the sky was getting longer and I was sleepy in the yamen during the day. Although these coffee beans were bitter, they were the best to refresh themselves." Cao Yong said.

After hearing this, the sixteenth prince frowned and said, "If this effect really works, will it be addictive?"

He was scared by opium and was wary of these foreign things.

Cao Yong said: "This is like tea, and it's just a few more drinks a day, which is not harmful."

The sixteenth prince then felt relieved and said with a smile: "Furuo, since it is a good thing, should we change it more and let everyone try it out?"

Seeing his eyes lit up, Cao Yong smiled and thought about the way to make money.

However, Cao Yong is not as optimistic as the Sixteenth Prince. Things are vaguely expensive. I don’t know what coffee is in the West now, but in China, I can’t buy anything even if I spend gold.

This taste is not as mellow and gentle as tea leaves, so how many can be changed accordingly.

He told the Sixteenth Prince that the excitement of the Sixteenth Prince was a little weaker, but he still agreed to do something for Cao Yong...

On April 23, Li Xu's case was transferred from the Ministry of Justice to the Shenjian Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Qin ordered the Minister of the General Administration of the Internal Affairs to discuss the crime. Li Xu and his son were also transferred from the Ministry of Justice to the Shenjian Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Shenjian Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Everyone can see that the emperor's tone has changed. From angering accusing Li Xu of betraying the grace of the late emperor to "restrictly punish the crime" to the present "Yi is doing his best for the emperor's father, and he is old, so he can hand it over to the Minister of the General Administration of the Internal Affairs Office for the crime."

The sixteenth prince is currently the chief executive of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the four ministers of the guards, Ma Wu, Gadahun and Dong Dianbang. Among them, the sixteenth prince is the main one.

The head of the Internal Affairs Office is a close minister who serves the emperor. Even the emperor has to raise his hand to let the Li family go. Who would make things difficult for Li Xu without any ignorance? Hence, he took the Sixteenth Prince as his horse's head and refused to speak much.

After half a day of discussion, Li Xu's crime was settled and the crime of collecting ginseng for the villain was "diseased, old and weak, confused, and listened to others' words" and committed the crime of "passing".

The money and grain deficit of the weaving yamen is mostly caused by his son in recent years. His family took advantage of Li Xu's old age to intervene in official affairs and lies, and Li Xu "deregrets his duties" and "inspection".

The Salt Government Office was in deficit. During the tenure of Li Xu, he received various merchants' silver from the 45th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi. Because they all used urgent advances, they used 70 taels to 100 taels, or 80 or 90 taels to 100 taels to 100 taels. Li Xu paid for the merchants, and all used enough silver to 100 tons as a few bullets. This scale was used to provide a total of 378,800 taels of silver. The merchants should compensate and pay off the national treasury.

The four people involved in the case, Li Xu, were dismissed from the position of weaving, removed from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and removed from the position of the Emperor's Office. He was sent to Xining Army, houses, shops, land, and family members to be confiscated, and filled the above owed money and grains; Li Xu's eldest son, Li Nai, intervened in the Weaving Mansion's official affairs, and had a stick of one hundred and removed fame and fortune, and was granted three years of submission; Qian Zhongxuan, a member of the Li family, and Shen Yishi, a stick of one hundred and a stick of one hundred, Liuning Guta, and a slave to the armored people.

Li Xu's crime is not considered light.

Before sending troops, this was a heavy punishment, second only to the death penalty.

Several managers were all a little surprised, but they didn't say much, so they jointly signed the note on the Sixteenth Prince.

When the sixteenth prince handed the note to the imperial court, Yongzheng was looking at another note coming from Suzhou.

The memorial was reported by Hu Fenghui, a Suzhou Weaving Manufacturer, and mentioned that a 2,000 taels of silver was bought in February of the 32nd year of the Kangxi reign. The reimbursement was made and the rice stones purchased were not stored in the warehouse.

Since Yongzheng had decided to let Li Xu go, he found it funny when he read the memorial. He could find out the account books from thirty years ago, and Hu Fenghui was careless.

Although it was an order to investigate, Yongzheng was not happy to have an aggressive attitude to achieve this point.

He remembered Nian Gengyao's character, and he did not leave anyone with any room for maneuver. Was Hu Fenghui so hard to investigate the evidence of the Li family? Was he loyal to the emperor or was he wanted to vent his anger for Nian Gengyao because of his personal grudges between Nian Gengyao and Cao Yong?

Nian Gengyao was in charge of the northwest, which was Yongzheng's intention. Yongzheng was willing to support his face and let him gain power in the northwest, but he did not want him to interfere in other matters.

Thinking of this, Yongzheng felt a little irritated.

After reading the Suzhou memorials and then reading the Sixteenth Prince's memorials, he felt much more relieved.

He handed the matter over to the Office of the Internal Affairs. In addition to leaving face to Li and Cao Yong and his son, he also wanted to see how the Sixteenth Prince would deal with it.

After all, the Sixteenth Prince is the blood relative of the Li family.

This memorial is not selfish, and it is very consistent with Yongzheng's wishes.

"Li Xu is seventy years old, and he can't stand the command before sending troops. Let's go to Shengjing." Yongzheng picked up the red pen, added a few words to the memorial, and then approved "accurate".

The sixteenth prince breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Although the bannermen have rules, "the five punishments are not added to the body", and the minor ones are changed to whips and shackles, and the worst ones are executed directly. However, no one is guilty. If it is a case that the emperor personally inquired about, even if it is a bannermen, he should be a stick and should be a stick.
