The first thousand two hundred and sixty-five chapters
Chapter 1265 Yan Dao
Although it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, Cao Yong is unwilling tolerate it blindly.
However, if it is too fast and too focused, it is better to wait for the calm outside.
Sister Zhuang had already returned to her hometown and went back to sell half of the land at home, raised hundreds of taels of silver, begged her cousin Zhuang Yanping to go to Beijing to handle some things. It was not that there were no other males among the relatives, but because she was afraid that the Cao family would not recognize her, she saw that her cousin had a good relationship with the Cao family.
Zhuang Yanping didn't know that after he took the lead, there would be such a big disturbance in the capital and alarm the yamen. It was not that he didn't realize the greed of Sister Zhuang and his wife, but in order to make more things worse than less, he watched coldly for a long time without dissuading them.
When he returned to the capital, he was really ashamed and ashamed. He apologized when he saw Cao Yong.
Cao Yong knew that the matter had nothing to do with him, so he naturally would not take his anger on him, and he still greeted him politely...
Zhuang Yanping was also a person who knew the right degree and did not plead for Brother Chai’s ignorantly.
Those hundreds of taels of silver were also a matter of being entrusted by others to be loyal to the river worker, so that Brother Chai could suffer less in the river worker and spend these years safely.
On the other side of Niu Niu, he was as usual at his cousin and had no resentment, which made Zhuang Yanping feel quite emotional. After all, he was kept in a courtyard of aristocratic families and was graceful and generous in dealing with people, and was much better than the other two cousins.
It is really a pitiful person. If the two cousins are more at peace and sisters move closer together, and their children will benefit; but they are too greedy and stare at their sister's dowry, and their brothers become enemies.
Niu Niu is tolerant enough to not take advantage of the situation. It is already a dream to borrow money from another one. This is just a waste of money.
At the end of May, everyone in the Cao Mansion went to Changchun Garden.
Niu Niu returned to Cao's house to live in the moon, and also lived in Caoyuan with Chu Yu.
Although there were twists and turns in the lawsuit and had been "retreat" for more than half a month, his face was rosy, and the girl's youthfulness was fading between his eyebrows and eyes, and he had a little more feminine charm.
Li and Chu Yu are experienced people. They saw that Niu Niu's life was "moisturizing" and were happy that the couple had a good time.
Others feel differently.
Tianhui was a little sad. Although he was of different seniority from Niu Niu, the two grew up together and their relationship was no less than blood relatives. Now my aunt has only been married for a month, but she seems to have been separated for a year.
The little aunt who became a woman also lost the leisure of her daughter in the boudoir. She seemed to have matured all of a sudden, and her relatives talked about family matters.
Cao Yong's mood was very complicated and a little sour. He always felt that his daughter whom he raised was cheaper than that boy Wei Wenzhi; he also felt that he was worthy of Wei Xin's family and felt that he was worthy of Wei Xin.
It’s not that he boasted, let alone Niu Niu’s second daughter-in-law when she went to the Wei family, she was qualified to join a high-ranking family as the eldest daughter-in-law.
It was also sour, Tianyou and Hang Seng were much more straightforward, and they directly stole Wei Wenzhi and were half dead.
If it is neither soft nor hard during the banquet, it is not like a nephew to his "uncle", but more like a brother-in-law to his brother-in-law. Looking at that attitude, in the future, whenever Wei Wenzhi feels sorry for Niu Niu, he must be careful to serve the bricks.
This is a cliché. Wei Wenzhi had received such education long before Niu Niu left home.
Now that he saw the two "nephews" re-reported the old words, Wei Wenzhi was amused and crying, and he thought in his heart that there were several princes in Prince Zhuang's Mansion and several princes in Prince Jian's Mansion.
Then I comforted myself that the two boys in front of me didn’t have to be proud. If I really talk about the number and strength of my brother-in-law, I would be the least, haha.
Tianyou was already on duty in the palace. Although he was only a third-class guard, his relatives and friends were very decent when they were in front of the imperial court.
Although Hengsheng is also an internal guard, he is not often seen in the garden because he is ordered to accompany Hongli. Fortunately, the two of them often take a break. When they don’t take a break, they only work for two hours a day, and they have to spare time for the rest of the time.
Hang Seng was walking in the palace and was more familiar with his colleagues in the Guards. He led him and Tianyou quickly integrated into the Guards.
Because of mourning, Prince Hongxi of Li County has been mourning for several years. It was not until March that he had finished his filial piety, and he took the errands of the Ministry of Rites and walked in front of the emperor.
Since March, the one who is busy with the Ministry of Rites is the wedding of the fourth prince Hongli.
Hengsheng followed Hongli and had also seen Prince Li two encounters.
In his impression, the Prince Li was about the same age as his father, and was gentle and polite to others, and had no aura of a Prince.
When talking with Hongli, he was both kind and kind of a elder brother, and abide by the etiquette of a minister. If it were other royal families, such an attitude was the right thing to do; but Hongxi always made people look at him.
After all, he is the legitimate grandson of the Saint Ancestor and the son of Prince Rimi. He has an awkward identity. If he is far away from everyone, it will be easier for each other to be at ease.
No matter what they think in their hearts, Hongli and Hongxi's cousins appeared to be happy, but they seemed closer than other clans.
However, Hongzhou has always been a false lover. Every time he meets the good looks of brothers Hongxi and Hongli, he can't help but complain: "Fourth brother, why should he be hypocritical? If he really thinks of who is a fool, why should he be humble to this? If he doesn't know, he will still say that we are arrogant and suppress him, the eldest grandson of the Holy Ancestor, regardless of his seniority."
But Hongli just smiled and said nothing.
Because the Fourth Prince's wedding was scheduled to be held in July, the Holy Lord moved back to the palace in early July.
The originally quiet palace city became lively because of the return of the Holy Lord.
As a royal family and an official from the Ministry of Rites, Hongxi worked with the clan and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be busy with Hongli's wedding, and the ban on entering and leaving the palace became more and more frequent.
Gradually, he found something was wrong.
The originally respectful guards and palace servants added restraint and caution to him, and they seemed to be holding on, so they did not look away from him.
Hongxi was surprised and reflected on whether he had done something wrong recently, but the more he thought about it, the more he became more confused. He neither had any disputes with others, nor had he punished or dealt with his servants, so why did he scare everyone so much?
Not only did the attitudes of the guards and palace servants change, but the fourth uncle on the dragon throne also looked at him with inquiry.
Hongxi felt as if she had been stripped of clothes and had nowhere to hide under her cold eyes.
He was frightened and after careful investigation, he learned a terrifying news.
"The Holy Ancestor once had a will to establish the emperor's legitimate grandson as his heir." "The "Records of the Li Dynasty" recorded that the Holy Ancestor had adopted the emperor's legitimate grandson as his heir in his later years and received envoys from the vassal state." "The Holy Ancestor personally educated the emperor's legitimate grandson, and his wife was the princess and daughter, and he was determined to choose the heir king"...
No matter which statement, I always cling to the three words "the emperor's legitimate grandson".
In the 80th year of the Qing Dynasty, the Confucian legitimate and illegitimate rule of law respected by Manchus have become the orthodox law of the law.
Although Hongxi was born by a concubine, he was raised in the name of his legitimate mother and the Prince of Limi. Compared with his uncles, he took advantage of his father's light to occupy the title of a legitimate grandson.
In his heart, he was proud of his identity; but when he broke into the world, he only made him feel uneasy.
This title of a legitimate grandson will kill people.
He wished he could run to the imperial court immediately and confess his love, showing that he was very peaceful, but that was too deliberate, and perhaps it would cause fear to the one on the dragon throne; he wanted to do nothing and waited for the calm, but the rumors became more and more intense.
Except for those saints who wanted to make him his heir, new rumors came out in a few days.
This time I became more and more ill, and they were all secret matters in the Prince Li’s Mansion.
The Prince's Mansion of Li County was located in Panggezhuang, Changping. There was no mansion in the capital, and there was a garden in Haidian. Before leaving the ward, Hongxi kept mourning in the Prince's Mansion of Changping, and only moved to the Prince's Garden of Haidian in March.
Because of Prince Limi and far away from the capital, everyone is unfamiliar with Prince Li’s Mansion.
This time, everyone became familiar with the Prince Li’s Mansion in the Bagua.
What imitates the six ministries and six departments, set up their own small dynasties, what counselors are like stars, military generals are like clouds, what are the thousands of private soldiers of the royal palace, all of which are the young and strong Eight Banners...
Everyone has the intention to follow the situation, and the "secret" of the county prince's mansion is widely used throughout the world, and old things related to Hongxi's early years have also been revealed.
He held his identity in the study room and bullied his uncles who were not revealed in his biological mother; he was not respectful to his dead mother, and he once killed his maid given by his mother, and so on.
With such a sharp contrast, those who thought Hong Xi was humble and polite in the past also believed that he was hypocritical and cunning and deliberately made a move.
The rumors became more and more intense, and the statement became more and more blunt. It was almost impossible to say that Hongxi had a disobedient heart.
Hongxi was shocked and suspicious, but he was in a state of great anxiety and did not dare to act rashly. Because he suspected that the man on the dragon throne could not tolerate him, he arranged this.
He dared not make trouble, and he was afraid of backfire, so he could only endure it with a tough bullet.
But he didn't know that what he suffered was completely self-inflicted.
The first thing that was rumored was just a guard of a county prince's mansion while drinking outside. Of course, this drunken dinner said that there were guards from several other prince's mansions in the capital.
So, within a few days, Hongxi went from being a gentle and humble prince to a "rebel king" with ambitions.
The person who feels most happy is of course the father and son of the Cao family.
"Words are like swords. There is this precedent. You will have a better memory and avoid being left behind. People will be verbally verbally lingchi." At this time, Cao Yong did not forget to teach his children and said this to Tianyou and Hang Seng.
Tianyou and Hang Seng both received teachings.
Although the father and son were different in the details of pursuing Hongxi, they chose to "get ashore" at the same time, and had no intention of putting in the wrong.
Now, whether Hongxi is content or restless, there is a grudge in Yongzheng's heart. Any emperor can allow him to have a heir to the throne who is more legitimate than himself.
Especially for a prince like Yongzheng, who was raised under the name of his legitimate mother, he was proud of his identity and felt a little inferior, and he could not tolerate a "legitimate grandson" like Hongxi.
In the Yangxin Hall, the eunuch had been waved out of the door.
