Chapter 1073: Great Victory

In February, the winter cold is gradually fading, and it is almost time for Wuer to enter the palace.

The dowry prepared earlier was no longer useful. According to the rules, only the prince's legitimate concubine, the side concubine can bring all the dowry and half the dowry to the prince's house, and only the legitimate concubine can bring the maid.

Wu'er can only "grandfather" and can only bring a small amount of clothes into the palace.

Among Cao Yong's generation, others had the marriage and marriage silver left by the old lady, each grandchildren was 5,000 taels. Only the fourth sister, Wuer, Changsheng was born after the old man died, and there was no such silver.

Cao Song, the brother, was unwilling to aggrieved his sister, so he and Cao Fenghou decided to prepare a dowry of 5,000 taels of silver for Wuer. After all, it was a place to live in the palace, and there were still many places to do.

Zhao Jia didn't want it, but Cao Fu privately advised her not to make trouble.

Although Wu'er only serves as a concubine, the status of the married man is not low. Maybe the rise and fall of the East Mansion will be tied to Wu'er in the future.

He didn't want to be a royal relative, but he just wanted to keep Zhaojia's words in a stable manner and prevent her from causing trouble before Wu'er entered the palace to cause trouble for everyone.

Although Zhao Jia was unhappy, she didn't say anything.

But Li asked someone to come over and asked her to talk.

Li added makeup to Wu'er. In addition to three thousand taels of silver, he also had four payments of head and face jewelry. Chu Yu, who was his sister-in-law, did not have empty hands, and prepared one thousand taels of silver and face jewelry.

At the beginning of Chuyu, Jinghui and Su Xin are two sisters-in-laws, but it is not easy to leave. Jinghui costs 800 taels of silver and Su Xin has 600 taels of salt. The two of them each added two pairs of gold and jade bracelets.

A few days later, Prince Ping Fujin and Cao Yi also sent someone to send a lot of clothes, materials, gold and silver jewelry. Cao Ying came here in person. However, she was not as generous as the other two aunts, and she had limited silver, so the gift she added was the lightest.

No one else would pick this, but Zhao Jia felt that she wiped her face and scolded the Sun family a few more times.

The fourth sister and Wu'er have the best relationship. Since she knew that Wu'er was going to enter the palace, she sewed two sets of clothes for Wu'er by herself. She also picked up her jewelry and put it in a box and gave it to Wu'er in private.

Niu Niu and Tianhui prepared two boxes of purses, which were filled with gold and silver crocks.

In this way, Wu'er's dowry was over 15,000 taels of silver, twenty boxes of various clothes and wool materials, and ten boxes of gold and jade jewelry.

If all of these things were brought into the palace as Wu'er, it would be too ostentatious.

Finally, except for jewelry, I brought eight sets of spring and summer clothes, and saved 12,000 yuan in silver, leaving 3,000 taels for gold, and transformed two thousand taels into two boxes of gold seeds, two boxes of gold bracelets, gold rings, etc., and transformed one thousand taels into silver turf.

Finally, these things were filled with four boxes and entered the palace with Wu'er.

The Fourth Prince can’t say he likes his new concubine or not. The most deficient thing in the palace is a beautiful and gentle woman. Although Wu'er is sweet, she is not as beautiful as it is to be indifferent to the point of being blinded.

Around him, the palace maid who had already arranged to teach sexual intercourse was when he was in love and was in love. Wu'er was so young and shy that he didn't know how to take the initiative to please him, but he was not as favored as the palace maid.

So, in the ten days, the fourth prince kept the palace maid by his side for seven or eight days.

However, Wu'er was the one pointed out by the queen, and for the sake of the Cao family and Hengsheng, he was also considerate of care for Wu'er. Seeing that someone neglected Wu'er, he even had an attack, which made the people in the prince's office know that Wu'er was also a new master and could not be neglected at will.

The palace maid who led the sexual intercourse in the sect was Gao, who was sixteen years old and was also the one chosen by the queen.

It was "Xiaoxuan" who entered the palace last year. Because of his outstanding character and appearance, he was selected into the queen's harem. In the first month of the year, he was awarded the fourth prince to the fourth prince.

Although both were given by the queen, one was the palace maid of the palace and the other was the female goddess of the Eight Banners. The status was different. The queen sent someone to the prince's house and beat him up. It was nothing more than the fourth prince who was young and should not have sex for a long time.

The Fourth Prince is not an ordinary boy after all. These days he has just learned about love and has been addicted to it for a while.

After getting beaten by the queen, the fourth prince woke up. He had not yet gotten married and had a lot of things to do. It was nothing to let the concubine give birth to a concubine's son. If the palace maid gave birth to the eldest son, he would have to bear the reputation of being lustful and unethical.

I didn't expect this change to be cheaper.

With Gao's favor, the queen felt that Wu'er was virtuous and sensible, so he summoned someone to the empress's harem several times...

Ganzhou, outside the new city.

Cao Yong rode on his horse and looked at the people who were reclaiming wasteland in the distance. Winter has finally passed and the people have begun to prepare for spring plowing.

Their faces were full of hope and joy.

According to the population, each person has 20 acres of land, which is exempted from tax for three years. How can you not be happy from the refugees who have nothing to the owner of this land?

Cao Yong's errands also came to an end.

Yesterday, he had received the order. After a last inspection today, he will set off to return to Beijing tomorrow.

Cao Yong felt a little joy in his heart, not only for himself, but also for the soldiers of the Western Expedition.

From the eighth day of the second month to the twenty-two of February, it took only half a month for the imperial army to set off from Qinghai, traveling thousands of miles, and quickly quelled the Qinghai rebellion.

The Luobuzang Danjin tribe, who provoked the rebellion, was almost completely destroyed. He fled with two hundred people. Although he was able to escape in the end, his confidant and mother were captured.

The battle was beautiful, shocked Qinghai Mongolia and demonstrated the military power of the court.

During the years of the game between the court and Cewang Alabutan, Qinghai Mongolia, which became ready to move, finally became honest. They also understood that they had nothing to rely on in front of the imperial army.

Under the rule of the imperial court for many years, the Mongolians in Qinghai have long been like a pile of loose sand, and how can they compete with the imperial court?

As for whether it increased Nian Gengyao's qualifications and promoted Nian Gengyao's momentum, Cao Yong didn't even think much about it.

As long as he doesn't have to move the army lightly, it's not the previous one, but just because he took over the logistics of the Northwest garrison in the past six months, he spent millions of taels of silver.

If he continues to fight, the court will not have to do anything else. As the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he can only work as a "businessman" part-time and seek a small way to save money.

Another thing that made him happy was that Li Wei was promoted.

He saw this news from the imperial court's newspaper that Li Wei was promoted from the Yan Post Road in Yunnan to the Yunnan Provincial Government, only one step away from the rank of the chief officials.

In less than a year, Li Wei was promoted from a fifth-rank doctor to a second-rank governor. This speed was eye-catching.

Cao Yong touched his chin and felt a little delicious. Why didn’t he have the good luck of Li Wei? He was the leader in opium cultivation, but he didn’t know whether the emperor still remembers this.

The next day, he left Ganzhou and returned to Beijing with the officials of the Ministry of Revenue and his family entourage.

The capital was already in chaos.

It was not that something happened, but that it was caused by this "Northwest Victory".

It has been ten years since the rebellion of Junggar Mongolia, and the imperial court has been holding back this tone for ten years. Now, although Ce Wang Alabutan is still free, he dare not easily invade the border.

Qinghai Mongolia took advantage of this quelling the war and went aside completely.

The memorial of Goethe's praise of grace was folded more than one foot high in the Hall of Peace.

Yongzheng was also very happy.

Nian Gengyao was his chosen General Fuyuan and his disciple when he was in the residence. Such impressive achievements made him very proud.

In comparison, the achievements of resigning as General Fuyuan in the northwest for several years were not as eye-catching as those in the past. Compared with Nian Gengyao, who won a great victory, the general of the 14th Prince seemed a little more delayed and incompetent.

However, no matter how happy you are, Yongzheng still suppressed the notes of all officials regarding the offer of prisoners.

Qinghai Mongolia is of the same origin as Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia. The court also needs to be concerned about some things.

After much discussion, in addition to rewarding the meritorious officials, Yongzheng finally decided to summon Nian Gengyao to the palace to meet at the end of the year.

The reason why he left over half a year was not that he was not in a hurry to meet Nian Gengyao, but to keep decent for Nian Gengyao. In addition to Nian Gengyao's orders to enter Beijing, the governors and governors from all over the country also had to go to Beijing in advance to welcome Nian Gengyao together.

If it were the Kangxi Dynasty, if the emperor treated his ministers like this, the censor would have long since jumped out to impeach him. But now, the Censor's Office is silent, and no one dares to make trouble for the emperor at the festive moment of the "Northwest Victory".

By mid-March, when Cao Yong arrived in Beijing, his decree to summon governors from all over the country had already gone.

According to the rules, when Cao Yong returned to Beijing, he had to go to the imperial court to handle his errands before he could go home. In order to prevent him from looking at a dark and not knowing the dynamics of all parties in the capital, Jiang Jian waited at the post station in the suburbs of Beijing one day in advance.

When he saw Cao Yong, he told Cao Yong about the situation in the capital these days.

When Cao Yong heard Jiang Jian mention that Yongzheng summoned the governor from other places to Beijing to welcome Nian Gengyao, he found it incredible.

Is the emperor's actions too much?

He had heard that Nian Gengyao was in charge of Xining, and he was really "in charge". Whether it was pacifying Haixi before the New Year or this great victory after the New Year, Yue Zhongqi and his generals fought.

It certainly demonstrates the dignity of the court and treats Nian Gengyao well, and does not need to welcome the governors from other places, right?

"It seems that the emperor has sorted out the capital and the royal family!" Cao Yong said.

Jiang Jian nodded and said, "The Ninth Prince is detained in Xining, and the Tenth Prince is in Zhangjiakou. Although each of the royal family has its own words, no one dares to come out to challenge."

The name was to take advantage of the "Northwest Victory" and to be anxious to governors to enter Beijing for Nian Gengyao. In fact, Yongzheng should have intervened in the local administration.

When Yongzheng met, Cao Yong discovered that he was completely different.

Last year, Yongzheng always frowned and looked tired. It was the kind that forced himself tightly and made others tremble and frightened.

Nowadays, the emperor's majesty is even more generous, and his face is calm. I wonder if it has solved the problem of external troubles.

Although Cao Yong mentioned the affairs of Ganzhou in detail in a secret complaint, Yongzheng still asked carefully. He heard that the people had already opened up the land and immigrants had settled down, so he nodded...

When Cao Yong came out of the palace and returned to Cao's mansion, it was already dusk.

Li and Chu Yu were already anxious and kept asking people to go to the second door to inquire. Tianyou and the Hang Seng brothers brought the housekeeper to greet each other at the door.
