Chapter 1,207: The title

The next morning, the wind and snow were already resting outside.

"Since winter began, it has been several snowfalls." Chu Yu stood in front of the window, looked at the hazy snow scene outside the window, turned around and said to her husband.

Cao Yong had just washed up, stood beside his wife, looking at the faint snow outside.

Although it is the beginning of winter in October, there is still a small spring climate after the beginning of winter. The serious snowfall is mostly winter months and the twelfth lunar month. Even if there is occasional snowfall in October, the amount of snow is small and the melting is fast.

This year, it was abnormal. Not only did it snow a few times, but the amount of snow was also heavy.

The Zhili area has been drought for nine years, but if there is enough rain and snow this winter, Zhili will not be troubled by drought in the beginning of next spring.

His farming plan with Tang Zhiyu is also easier to achieve results.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong couldn't help but frown. Could it be that he really wants to be cheaper Li Fu?

Cao Yong felt a little unfair about Tang Zhiyu.

If the emperor had not promoted Li Fu, the agricultural management would be good next year, Tang Zhiyu would have been able to use the word "Shi" and governor Zhili.

At this time, Le Ju picked up the curtain, Le Lan and Le Gui, and brought in the food box.

Chu Yu stepped forward and brought Lelan and a few to set up the table.

Because the weather is cold, all I serve is meat porridge and meat buns, which are very cold-resistant to hunger.

Cao Yong ate four mutton buns and drank a bowl of chicken and spinach porridge before putting down his chopsticks.

At this moment, Chu Yu had already found a big sweater.

"Is it a little early?" Cao Yong asked.

In the past, I started to change into big sweaters after I entered Jiu in most years. Now I have to enter Jiu in half a month.

"I don't have to wear more clothes this year, it's better than being frozen." Chu Yu said: "There is one thing I need to ask the master when talking about big sweaters. A few days ago, the second old lady talked to her and said that the big sweaters that the fourth sister's dowry was not rich, and she wanted to borrow some skins from here. I agreed. It's boring to borrow it or not, just think that we're adding makeup to the fourth sister. But the skins in the mansion are mostly old. Master, please see, should you send someone to Shengjing and buy some skins back. When Niu Niu goes out, you can also change them to a new skin."

Cao Yong has always been the wife in charge of these housework.

Besides, he also knew his second aunt's nature, saying that it was "borrowing", but he was just asking them for it in disguise.

Because I was doing dowry for my fourth sister, it was boring to care about it.

"The second sister and the prince sent the supervisor back to Beijing to send a birthday gift a few days ago. They probably haven't returned to Shengjing yet. They asked Cao Yuan to arrange someone to go to Shengjing with the supervisor to buy it after the Wanbao Festival. They just happened to buy more mountain goods and come back to serve as a New Year gift." Cao Yong said.

Unlike Kangxi, Yongzheng was different from Kangxi. He ascended the throne for more than four years and was in Beijing and never toured the north to escape the summer heat.

Mongolian princes and princes all went into Beijing in shifts or sent their children to Beijing to meet him.

The old emperor had to go outside the pass to escape the summer heat for almost many years, and the mountain goods and wild game outside the pass were spread throughout the capital.

In recent years, the emperor has not left the gate, and the mountain products and wild game in the world have become scarce.

Chu Yu agreed, Cao Yong changed into big sweater clothes and put on his clothes. The couple came out together and went to Lanyuan to ask Li for help.

After saying a few words with Li, it was getting brighter outside and it was almost time, so Cao Yong went out.

Today is the shift of the Ministry of Revenue, so he is not allowed to go to the official office first. He rode directly outside the palace gate.

Except for Zhang Tingyu, several other ministers have arrived and are waiting in front of Taihe Gate.

When they saw Cao Yong, several of them hurriedly came forward to see him.

Cao Yong bowed his hand and returned the court for half a custody, then stood in front of several ministers.

In addition to several ministers and Taihemen, there were also some foreign governors who handed over signs to meet.

Most of them were known to Cao Yong, including Tang Zhiyu and Li Fu.

These two people are both Zhili officials and superiors and subordinates, so they stand together.

According to the rules, after the emperor had breakfast, he would first pass on the officials who passed the signs and asked for the meeting, and finally it was the turn of the Grand Secretary and the officials of the six ministries.

Just as Cao Yong bowed his hand to the courtesy and met with several governors, he walked by two people from afar. The leader was dressed in an eunuch, followed by Tian Wenjing, who was tilting his chin and drooping his mouth.

For a moment, everyone looked over, but their eyes were different.

He had a long face, a purple-red complexion, a deep head-up pattern on his forehead, squinted his eyes, and faced with a little mean face. He was wearing loose and praising clothes, looking very thin, without any authority, but like a stubborn old farmer.

When he walked out of Taihe Gate, his steps paused, looked at Li Fu and snorted coldly before bowing to the others and leaving.

Seeing this, Cao Yong was speechless.

Tian Wenjing is now just the governor of Henan. There are rumors that he wants to be granted the title of governor, but after all, he has not yet been granted the title.

In other words, except for Tang Zhiyu and another governor, Hou Jian, the others in front of the door were all higher-quality than Tian Wenjing.

Tian Wenjing was so arrogant that it really attracted everyone's attention.

Tian Wenjing seemed to have never seen it, and in a moment, only one figure was left.

Everyone looked at Li Fu, and Li Fu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It seems that the emperor has already made a conclusion about the dispute between him and Tian Wenjing. Moreover, this conclusion is still biased towards Tian Wenjing, otherwise he would not have been so proud.

He could think of this, and naturally some people thought of it, and some people whispered in a low voice with the intention of watching the fun.

The eunuch who led Tian Wenjing out really "remained the burden", sent oral orders and summoned Li Fu to meet him.

Li Fu followed the eunuch into Taihe Gate, with his back straight, and he was a bit tragic.

Cao Yong glanced at Tang Zhiyu, who was looking at Li Fu's back with a little worried.

Cao Yong blinked and confirmed that he was right, he was indeed worried.

If it were someone else, Cao Yong would have suspected his behavior. After all, Li Fu, the current governor of Zhili, was Tang Zhiyu's immediate boss.

But the person in front of me was Tang Zhiyu, who had known him for more than ten years. Cao Yong believed in the truth of this worry.

After thinking about it, he understood why Tang Zhiyu was worried about Li Fu.

The dispute between Li Fu and Tang Zhiyu was not just a dispute between the two, but also a dispute between the professional and the official who was in charge of donating miscellaneous officials.

Tang Zhiyu is also a regular official from a Jinshi. It is normal for him to hope that Li Fu can win this imperial lawsuit.

After years of my colleagues, Cao Yong also realized that Tang Zhiyu looked similar to his subordinates who came from a regular journey, but in fact he treated him differently. He was more cautious about the former and more valued the latter.

Cao Yong could understand his actions.

Those officials who came from the imperial examination were influenced by the books of sages since childhood, and most of them were covered with a fig leaf. Cherishing reputation was like cherishing feathers; officials who donated money were either from the children of powerful people or came naked with greed thoughts, and few people became talented.

Li Fu went there for two quarters of a minute, but when he came back, his steps were still firm, but his face turned a little pale.

It was already two hours after Mao Zheng (6:30 in the morning), and Zhang Tingyu was still not seen.

Cao Yong knew that 80% of Zhang Tingyu was right in front of the emperor.

After Li Fu left, Yongzheng spread two more officials, and it was Tang Zhiyu's turn.

By the time Tang Zhiyu retreated from the imperial court, it was almost Chen Zheng (8 o'clock in the morning).

Because Cao Yong took several ministers to the imperial front and happened to catch up with him.

Tang Zhiyu retreated aside, but his expression was a little sudden, as if he was worried or happy.

Seeing this, Cao Yong felt puzzled.

After a while, I arrived outside the Hall of Yangxin.

Then an eunuch came out to summon several officials from the Ministry of Revenue.

After entering the Hall of Heart, Yongzheng was sitting on the dragon throne, with several Grand Secretary and Thirteenth Prince standing in front of him, among which Zhang Tingyu was.

Cao Yong and several ministers took two steps forward, knelt down and invited Sheng'an, and then retreated aside.

Cao Yong personally handed over the matter of opening up the maritime ban and developing maritime trade. Yongzheng had already read the matter, and now he has been discussed by the ministry and has naturally passed it smoothly.

Next, two ministers reported several other political affairs of the Ministry of Revenue.

It took only half an hour to discuss the whole court.

This was all a blessing for Zhang Tingyu, the Grand Secretary. He was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and was also the Minister of Revenue. He focused more on the Ministry of Revenue, which made the Ministry of Revenue rarely have unresolved official duties, so the court discussions were naturally much more appropriate.

When he retreated from the Yangxin Palace, Zhang Tingyu did not come out with everyone and remained in front of the emperor.

Outside the hall, the two ministers of the Ministry of Personnel arrived at some time and were waiting.

It’s not that the Ministry of Personnel’s shift, and the two ministers of the Ministry of Personnel arrived together?

Cao Yong was confused and stopped, bowed and met with the two ministers, and then brought several ministers out of the palace and returned to the yamen.

Three days left are the birthday of the Wanbao Festival. If you really want to be promoted and be kind, you will not be summoned to the Minister of Personnel at this time.

Cao Yong had a vague guess in his heart, but he felt it was incredible, so he buried it in his heart and watched the changes.

In the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Jian went to Cao Yong and recounted the big news he had just heard: Li Fu was promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works and Tian Wenjing was the governor of Henan.

The battle between Li Tian has settled.

Tian Wenjing won completely, Li Fu suffered a crushing defeat.

The Governor of Zhili and the Right Minister of Works are both second-rank officials, but they are incomparable.

The former is the first host in the world, while the latter is the second most ranks among the six divisions.
