Chapter 1215: Opening the Mansion (Part 2)

White marble jade phoenix bird-shaped town, Tang Dynasty painted diamond flowers, silver buckle piano and chess pictures, Song Dynasty gold buckle beast head lifting beam pot, Yuan red peony pattern plate, Ming Dynasty ivory eight treasures Ruyi Ganoderma lucidum ornaments...

Antique treasures were so shaking Su De's eyes.

The county prince Bobei also squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"This... are all assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Su De hesitated and asked the official of the Lifan Academy who accompanied him.

If this is true, it would be really "the emperor's grace".

No matter what, Master Hang Seng, no, should be called "Master Monk" now, and Master Monk's residence in Beijing has become a foregone conclusion.

With such a respect from the emperor, even if there are any other plans in the royal palace, we must think carefully.

The officer of the Lifan Academy laughed and said, "Mr. Su is really hilarious. If every royal palace had to be equipped with such antique treasures, the Interior Affairs Office would have been empty. As far as the officials knew, the only set of sandalwood cloisonné enamel furniture in this room was made of internally. These decorations should be objects brought by Prince Monk himself."

Upon hearing this, Su De sighed.

Prince Bobei smiled and nodded, saying, "Gerankeyanpile is such a blessing. He didn't care about anything, so he picked up such a good son for nothing..."

He smiled strangely, and Su De looked at him coldly, knowing that he was not kind-hearted and what is "a free son"? It seems to be saying that Mr. Monk is of unknown origin.

Su De was too lazy to fight with him. No matter whether Mr. Monk was a concubine or a traitor, he was the eldest son of the Khan's mansion, since he was given a name and a righteous identity by the emperor.

Bobei wanted to take advantage of the situation and use this to attack the Khan's Mansion, but he had to think about it himself.

The officer of the Interior Department who followed seemed to think of this, looked at Bobei leisurely and smiled, "What the prince said is that King Khan is indeed very lucky. Prince Monk is the emperor's accompaniment, his adoptive father is an important official in the court, and his adoptive mother is a princess of Heshuo. He has a bright future and he doesn't need to worry about the Khan's house at all."

Bobe's smile froze. This time he went to Beijing, in addition to taking advantage of the death of the old Khan, he also wanted to get involved in the marriage for his son.

If his son could be a princess or a noble daughter from a prominent family, even if the Khan throne was attacked by Gekyanpile, he would still be able to make another fortune when he died.

However, after seeing you several times, the emperor promoted his title, and the marriage was a little unsatisfactory. Although the princess who was the emperor's niece, because his father's title was not high and he was born in a concubine, he was only named "Gushan Princess (County Lord)".

Just as these people were talking, they saw Hang Seng coming in from the door, bowing to everyone, and saying, "The distinguished guests have just come down. The boy has come out to greet them. I have neglected the prince and the two adults. Please don't blame me."

Bobei smiled quickly and said, "It's okay, nothing is wrong, it's not an outsider, Prince Monk doesn't have to be polite."

Su De and Na Siguan had low status, and they were even less blameless. They were already worried because there were several people following Hang Seng. In addition to Tianyou, the eldest son of Cao's mansion, they had seen, there were two young men with yellow straps on their waists.

Hang Seng turned his head and introduced to the two young men behind him: "Fourth Master, Fifth Master, this is the Prince of Bobe of the left wing of the left banner of the Zasaktu Khan tribe, this is Lord Su from the Khan's Mansion, and that is Lord Cui from the Lifanyuan..."

Speaking of this, he turned his head to the three of them and said, "Prince, two lords, these two nobles are the fourth prince and the fifth prince."

There is no mention of which royal palace and the identities of those two are self-evident.

The three of them immediately knelt down and asked the two princes for their peace.

Hongli glanced at the three of them, walked to Bobei, helped him with a helping hand, and said, "Your Majesty is so polite, please get up quickly. I have heard that my father praised the prince for his bravery and his ancestors' style. Now when I see him, he is really worthy of his reputation."

Bobei entered Beijing for one month, not a deaf and blind man. Although he had never seen Hongli, he knew that the one in front of him was the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty and the future emperor. After hearing this praise, he was so excited that his face flushed and his beard was raised.

Hongli seemed to have not seen his disobedience, and his eyes turned to the Lifan Courtyard, Doctor Cui, and said, "The palace is well cleaned up. It can be repaired in such a short period of time. It can be seen that he has put his heart into it, which is very good."

Langzhong Cui kowtowed and said, "It's all the responsibilities of slaves, and I dare not do anything."

Finally, Hongli looked at Su De and said, "I heard that you are an old man from the Khan Palace. What are the shortcomings of Monk in the future? Please give me more. He is a companion and a friend of the Lone. I am looking forward to his goodness."

Su De smiled so badly that he looked even more ugly than crying. He felt that his head was weighing a thousand pounds. In the public eye, there was no choice but to nod honestly and said, "The foreign minister must obey the instructions of your highness."

After seeing this, Hongli and Hongzhou had no intention of greeting each other again. Bobei and the other two were also tactful and bowed to say goodbye and left.

In the living room, there were only two princes, Tianyou and four Hang Seng.

Hongzhou stood on the antique shelf and looked at it loudly.

He and Hongli both knew the goods, so they could see that these objects were of great value.

Hongli had already sat down and smiled at Hang Seng and said, "The decree of the eldest son of the Prince of Ce will be issued in a few days. This time, I am really happy."

Hang Seng blinked and was a little confused: "Three joys?"

The opening of the mansion is a joy, and the title is a joy, what are the three joys...

Tianyou reacted and smiled and said, "Fourth Master, the second brother's marriage has also been arranged..."

Hongli nodded and said, "That's right, it's right."

Hang Seng smiled "hehe" and felt a little embarrassed.

Hongzhou had already read the antique shelf and glanced at Hengsheng with dissatisfaction and said, "I'm still laughing, I'll get you cheaper then! I'm supposed to be my nephew, but I'll be my brother-in-law in the future. I'll be a whole generation."

Hang Seng just laughed. Although the two princes did not mention who he was engaged to, everyone knew it.

With Prince Zhuang here, others cannot take Hang Seng away as their son-in-law.

"There are still about forty days left to celebrate the New Year. I am afraid that it will not be able to catch up before the New Year. The wedding date will be next year?" Tianyou asked.

Hongli smiled and said, "That's right, the emperor's mother is reluctant to let the third princess marry early, so she has to stay for some time."

The third princess he mentioned was the eldest princess of Prince Zhuang's mansion. Because he was adopted by the emperor, he was raised by the empress of the central palace and regarded as the queen of the palace. He followed the ranking of the palace and was called the "Three Princess".

Having said that, everyone understands that this is just a rhetoric. The real reason is that it is difficult to bypass the Khan Palace.

Even if the court canonize the eldest son of the prince and the emperor gives the marriage, the new Khan's thank-you letter must be done in a formality, so that it will look good on the surface.

However, the third princess is indeed not very old, the same age as Tianhui, and the next year is only fourteen...

The Ministry of Revenue Department, Cao Yong's Office.

After hearing Jiang Jian's words, Cao Yong whispered in surprise: "Has the Zhejiang provincial examination been stopped, the imperial examination?"

He was shocked. Half of the literati in the world came from Jiangnan; half of the literati in Jiangnan came from Zhejiang. Due to the fraud in the rural examinations in Jiangnan, many officials were caught in it. The court always focused on appeasement of the scholars in Jiangnan.

The Jiangnan Shilin is stable, and the people's hearts are stable.

In order to bridge the blood feud that gathered when the Eight Banners moved south, the court has always been grateful to Jiangnan for more than 80 years since its founding.

Now, the emperor has taken his anger with Zhejiang where these two officials are located just because he hates the two Han officials. This is too much of a joke.

Among them, Wang Jingqi was executed seven days after Nian Gengyao was executed, and her head was still hanging on the flagpole at Caishikou. Not only did he be guilty, his wife and children were sent to Heilongjiang as slaves, and his brothers, uncles and nephews were exiled to Ningguta. All the nine clans were dismissed from their posts and handed over to local officials in their hometowns to control them.

Speaking of which, it is an old case that has been completed.

Another minister of the Ministry of Rites, Cha Siting, was regarded as "slandering the emperor" because he was the chief examiner of the Jiangxi provincial examination in the current year.

This incident is not the "stop of the people" that is circulated in history. Because the word "stop of the people" was removed from the head of Yongzheng.

It is because the four schemings he published had the word "zheng" in front and the word "zhi" in the back, which is exactly the same as the saying "the image of "one stop" in Wang Jingqi's "On the Era of the Years of the Years" that he was impeached.

Now, not only Cha Siting has been dismissed from office and imprisonment, but the Cha family in Haining has also been investigated.

The Cha family in Haining was in charge of the Silin Niuer in Jiangnan. By the end of the Kangxi reign, there were many talents and were known as "seven Jinshis in one family, and five Hanlins in uncles and nephews."

The four brothers of Cha Siting were all from Jinshi. Among their children and nephews, three of them also took the imperial examinations. Except for the eldest brother Cha Shenxing, who retired and took his descendants to study and pass on his family in Haining, the remaining three houses of the Cha family were all in Beijing.

Cao Yong was very concerned about the Cha family because the famous Jin Yong and Jin were descendants of the Haining Cha family.

Because the Cao family lived in Jiangnan for a long time in his early years, Cao Yin and Cha family leader Cha Shenxing had a deep personal relationship with him during his lifetime. As Cha Shenxing retired, Cao Yin died of illness and the relationship between the two families faded.

After all, Cao Yong is just an ordinary person and does not know the details of history, because he does not link the Haining Cha family with the "literary inquisition".

It was not until now that Cha Siting's case came out that Cao Yong suddenly remembered this incident.

Jiang Jian was worried and whispered: "Zhejiang Shilin is going to be in chaos, Li Futai's situation is worrying... Will it involve the second master..."

Cao Yong was not worried about this.

After all, Cao Song is the general of Jiangning and his territory is in Jiangsu. Li Wei's side is also in danger. Maybe this is the opportunity for him to be promoted to governor.

"Li Weijian is in the heart of the emperor and has a stable position. Since he is stable, he cannot make any major mistakes on his second son. The Jiangnan Shilin cannot be in chaos, so he is not too worried about it." Cao Yong said.

Seeing that Cao Yong was sure of his words, Jiang Jian couldn't help but ask curiously: "In the early years, the scholars and forests in Jiangnan were in trouble because of the fraud in the imperial examination. The fraud in the imperial examinations ruined their way of leading, and everyone was naturally unfair. Now that the road is completely cut off, they are afraid that they will make trouble even more fiercely, so why can't the adults say it can't be messed up?"
