Chapter 1065 "Absolute Love" (Part 1)

Although Cao Yong is still in the northwest, his status is completely different from the past.

As the Minister of Supervising the Food and Payroll, he was qualified to attend the military meeting of the Northwest Army and was not under Nian Gengyao's jurisdiction.

When the 14th Prince was the general, he was Kangxi's parent-child, and only half of the army had the power to command military power, while the other half was scattered in the hands of Nersu and other royal families. However, the food, grass, military and salary were directly under the Ministry of War, and the general and the general had no right to intervene.

After all, it is the method of the emperor, which is to defend the commander and hold the army and to endanger the country.

Now, it's a cheaper Cao Yong.

After staying in Ganzhou for most of the month, Cao Yong was not without resentment.

He was originally from a job, but it was related to local people's livelihood issues such as military garrisons and land reclamation. However, Nian Gengyao indulged his son and wasted his efforts for his own personal anger. What is this?

That's right, Cao Yong had already planned that he was not Nian Gengyao, but Nian Fu.

Wang Quantai told him the news.

Wang Quantai has now been promoted to deputy general and is also a top-ranked person under Nian Gengyao.

Because he worked in Sichuan in his early years and followed Nian Gengyao for many years, he was familiar with his elders around Nianfu. On Mid-Autumn Festival, he accidentally learned about the incident when he sent a letter to the Northwest bandit "Ma Sanchun".

Knowing that he was planning to plot against Cao Yong, he was anxious and he was not good to go to Cao Yong's place in person, so he sent a message to warn him.

Fortunately, Cao Yong did not go to Hami with others the next day because of "stricken wind and cold at night", but stayed in Ganzhou.

A few days later, Wang Quantai found a yuzi and told Cao Yong privately about the reason.

Nianfu's move is not entirely due to the small friction between Cao Yong and Nian Gengyao in the past few years.

Nianfu was Nian Gengyao's third son. He was originally a concubine and his mother died early, but he was raised by Nian Gengyao's family Jueluo. After the youngest son of Jueluo died early, Jueluo's family became richer than his name and became the raising of his son.

Although Nianfu did not get fame and honor like his brother Nian Xi, he was still young and showed up as a result. He followed Nian Gengyao when he was a teenager.

If it weren't for the elder brother Nian Xi in the capital, Nian Fu would be Nian Gengyao's heir.

But no matter how Jueluo supports him or how Nian Gengyao likes him, as long as Nian Xi is around, Nian Fu will only be the third son of the Nian family.

Although Nian Xi had an ordinary relationship with her biological father and stepmother, she grew up next to her concubine and was loved by the emperor and the empress. The old man from the Nian family also loved Nian Xi the most.

Even if Nian Xi is a sick person, he occupies the title of "the eldest son" and cannot be shaken by Jueluo and Nianfu.

You can imagine how depressed young rich is.

Cao Yong was Nian Xi's "brother-in-law". Nian Fu's arrogant arrangement also made him feel angry, and he was a little cautious. He wanted to completely make the Cao family and Nian family no longer have the possibility of reconciliation, which gave Nian Xi less support.

After hearing this, Cao Yong was amused and crying.

No wonder I think something is wrong. This method of calculating people is a little bit petty, unlike the style of Nian Gengyao who is unruly.

This young man only learned from his father's arrogantness, but he did not have the true ability of his father.

You should know that Nian Gengyao's success was at the beginning of the Kangxi Dynasty. He first promoted to the imperial examination and then stayed in the Hanlin Academy for several years, and then shone brightly in the local area before becoming an important official in the northwest.

Those are all real results, and there is no falsehood at all.

If Nianfu wants to make a name for himself among the Nian family, he should not think about how to use means to squeeze his elder brother, but to make achievements on his own.

Nian Gengyao was not the eldest son, but now he has surpassed his father and brother and has been awarded the title of third-class Duke.

If Nian Gengyao hadn't been against him, Cao Yong would still admire Nian Gengyao very much. Compared with those corrupt officials who only knew how to embezzle and live in corpses, Nian Gengyao used thunder to manage Sichuan in an orderly manner, which was all real skills.

Nian Gengyao was still angry with the scholar, thinking that he was capable and had no power and skills to take it seriously, which was already incompatible with the Qing officialdom.

Should we first have the "year election" or Yongzheng's "gratitude and indulgence"?

When facing Nian Gengyao again, Cao Yong was no longer so bored and upset. He even took a little curiosity to observe the tragic character Nian Gengyao.

In the history of later generations, he was listed all kinds of crimes of his arrogant and unofficial crimes, but no one would defend him. Those "crimes" were "indulged" or arranged directly by Yongzheng.

On the one hand, everyone thinks that this is "a cunning rabbit dies, and a lackey is cooking", and that it is "a killing a donkey without a grinding"; on the other hand, it feels that this is when Nian Gengyao's power reaches its peak, and he loses his care after he loses his care after his greed is vigilant.

Just like Cao Yong was observing Nian Gengyao, Nian Gengyao was also observing Cao Yong.

The ministers sent by the court to Qinghai to negotiate peace were detained by the rebels, and the emperor had already issued an order to suppress the rebellion. In a few days, he would take his elite troops to the Xining camp to replace General Yan Xin and Fuyuan, and command the military in the northwest.

Although the forward and elite were in the Xining Camp, the logistics and food were in Ganzhou.

The logistics, food, grass, and military salaries were all in Cao Yong's hands.

That year, he was "harmed" by Cao Yong. Now that the hatred has not been resolved, even if he is as unruly as him, he is suspicious and nervous.

The army is about to send troops. If Cao Yong makes some moves on the food and grass, the consequences will be unimaginable. If there is a mistake, let alone making achievements, it may ruin the future.

However, it seems that the two of them are not resolutely resentful. Is it necessary for Cao Yong to trap himself in order to plot against him?

Although Nian Gengyao led his troops to suppress the bandits and horses when he was in Sichuan, he had already seen killings. However, he personally led the army to quell the rebellion for the country, which was the first time he had encountered.

He hopes to achieve full results and does not want accidents.

So, Cao Yong received a post from Nian Gengyao and asked him to post a statement.

Hongpu and Tianyou were worried and wanted to go with Cao Yong. After being taught a lesson by Cao Yong, they became honest.

Even though Nian Gengyao was disdainful to inquire about Hongpu's identity at the beginning, after half a month, he heard Hongpu calling Cao Yong a few times "brother-in-law" in his ears, and he understood afterwards.

Cao Yong did not explain that Nian Gengyao himself did not feel uncomfortable and revealed Hongpu's identity.

But Nian Gengyao was holding on to his identity and was unwilling to show kindness to Hongpu. After all, with his current identity, there was no need to please the underage prince of the royal family.

But in Hongpu's eyes, this once again proves how arrogant Nian Gengyao is. Not only does he conspire to plot against Cao Yong, but he also treats him with no false meaning.

His disgust towards Nian Gengyao was already intensified.

He was the only one in Nian Gengyao's account. He did not keep any of them, whether they were trusted staff or son Nianfu.

Seeing this, Cao Yong was not surprised, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Nian Gengyao is scruples and has the intention of reconciliation, which is exactly what Cao Yong wants.

When he went to the northwest, Gengyao was not angry at the same year.

Nian Gengyao's eyes were still cold, and his eyes at Cao Yong were extremely complicated.

Cao Yong stood at the tent. Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, he whispered a "cough" and bowed, "Secretary Cao Yong met the New Year's Lord..."

Nian Gengyao narrowed his eyes, took two steps, sat down at the table in the tent, pointed to the chair opposite, and said, "Please sit!"

His expression was still unconcealed by arrogance, and his tone was cold, but he finally had the word "please".

Cao Yong sighed in his heart, and without saying much, he walked to the table and sat down.

Nian Gengyao's eyes turned from Cao Yong to the tent and sang: "Retreat ten feet behind, those who are close to each other will die!"

The guard behind the tent agreed in unison, and then moved the sound gently and returned to silence in an instant.

There were only two empty bowls on the table. Nian Gengyao pushed one to Cao Yong, then lowered his head and lifted a jar of wine from under the table.

He took the wine seal and poured it over to Cao Yong first, and then filled it over to himself.

His movements were very slow, his arrogance had faded from his expression, leaving only his face full of decisiveness and determination.

He put down the wine jar, picked up the wine bowl in front of him, stood up, and looked at Cao Yong and said, "Mr. Cao, someone who was reckless and rude. He offended Lord Cao that year, and apologized to Lord Cao here!"

Even though he knew that Nian Gengyao had the intention of reconciliation, Cao Yong was also frightened by this.

It’s not because of this sudden “submission”, but because of the oncoming oppression and coldness.

Cao Yong stood up, his face as calm as before, but his heart was full of anger.

Nian Gengyao had no room for "choice" at all. Looking at the decision in his eyes, if Cao Yong refused to "reconcile", he would rather let Cao Yong die suddenly in the northwest than to send troops, leaving Cao Yong, who had resentment with him, to curb his throat.

If this kind of decisive killing is out of trouble, Cao Yong will applaud the high-high.

But now, Nian Gengyao's killing aura is not shocking others, but himself, and the taste is so unbearable.

"Mr. Nian is serious, why is this? It is all caused by his young and incomplete officials. Master Nian does not blame him, which makes him very grateful!" Cao Yong's eyes were full of sincerity, and he used twelve points of strength to hold the wine bowl, so he did not reveal his true feelings.

Now, he has greeted Nian Gengyao's elders in his heart.

The more sincere you are on your face, the more hatred you feel in your heart.

This feeling of life being threatened has not been in years. Unexpectedly, he put himself in such a situation after he claimed that he had made the arrangements.

These days, I feel that Nian Gengyao is a "tragic hero", and his thoughts of not wanting to have a dispute with him have disappeared.

His mind had been twisting several ways to deal with Nian Gengyao.

Nian Gengyao stared at Cao Yong and confirmed that he had not made a false statement. He slowly calmed down. He raised the wine bowl and raised it at Cao Yong, saying, "No matter whether you really let go or not, I, Nian Gengyao, have drunk this bowl of wine, even if this matter is exposed!" After that, he raised the wine bowl in his hand and drank the full bowl of wine in one go.

"Since it was the Lord's order, then the official will drink with you!" Cao Yong lowered his eyes, raised the wine bowl, and drank it "gulp" a few sips to the bottom of the bowl.

The cold wine flowed down the corner of his mouth into his collar, making him shudder.

He turned his head and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve to cover up his incompetence.
