Chapter 1358: Reunion

For Kua Dai, when he received the order to go to Jiangnan, he almost danced and was secretly happy.

With the intention of supervising the river engineering, Yongzheng's secret decree was also followed, and the fourth prince Hongli would go south.

As long as you are not a fool, who doesn’t know that the Fourth Prince is the inner crown prince.

However, the Holy Ancestor's throne was too tragic, and today's throne was not peaceful. No one dared to hug the fourth prince's thighs openly, but even so, countless people who had the opportunity were secretly cursing each other.

After two or three blows, the Tong family has already declined.

Kua Dai, the younger brother of Empress Xiaoyi, and his dignified uncle, was even more like a young wife. Not only did he sit at the end of the Six Ministers of the Ministry of Justice, he even had a close relationship with his tail.

As for Cao Yong, the Ministry of Revenue, the Minister of Works, who was responsible for the responsibilities of the Minister of Works, Kua Dai did not take it seriously.

The emperor has always loved monks clearly. The Cao family is so popular that he will not fight with him so colorlessly.

So what if the emperor is tired of the Tong family, he always has to keep a line. If he holds the fourth prince's thighs together, the Tong family may get up at any time. After all, the Tong family's title is still there...

The new house of Cao's mansion, Jiuruyuan.

This is the third entry into Xinzhai Middle Road, where Cao Yong and his wife live.

The name of the courtyard is "Jiuru", taken from "The Book of Songs? Xiaoya", which means blessings and longevity.

Although Cao Yong and his wife were not yet confused, in this era, when children are in full swing, it is time to enjoy their grandchildren. Therefore, when Cao Yong selected the name of the hospital, he enclosed this.

When he went to the room, Chu Yu was packing his things in duplicate. The emperor's order came in a hurry. Today he issued an order and tomorrow Cao Yong and his son would leave the capital and go north and south, which made Chu Yu feel a little panicked.

Seeing his wife frowned, Cao Yong shook his head and said, "Tianyou has become a child, and he can't be in front of him... It's rare that the emperor treats them differently. We should be happy as parents..."

If you work with the prince, you will most likely become the leader of the prince's mansion as the prince opens his mansion.

Due to Hongli's identity, it is no different from an ordinary prince. Tianyou may become the next emperor team.

The emperor's move can be said to be a way to protect the Cao family, after all, the emperor and the ministers.

Chu Yu's kind mother's heart was so heartless that she could not be happy when she remembered the rumors of floods in Jiangnan.

In addition, her husband came out of seclusion to prevent floods, so it would be strange if she could let go.

Cao Yong knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he sighed and said, "Mrs. If this is the case, the old lady should be unable to hide it... Tianyou will be with the Fourth Prince, what danger can there be... That's Li Wei's territory, and there is a waiter here..."

Chu Yu nodded and felt relieved.

Yes, the prince was traveling in a secluded manner, and I don’t know how many people followed secretly. He said he was a river inspector, but no one dared to really lead the prince into danger, but there was really no danger.

My husband's side is not as good as Jiangnan, and the waterways are limited, so it is much better.

But why did she still feel uneasy...

Chu Yu suddenly thought something was wrong, so he quickly raised his head and said, "Master... I will be celebrating to Prince Jian's mansion at the end of July... Can Master and Tianyou come back?"

Cao Yong was stunned when he heard this. Half a day after receiving the order, he thought about how to act outside the pass, but he forgot that there was such a big event at home.

It’s okay for me to go to Shengjing, and I am the head of the Ministry of Revenue. If flood control and disaster relief are arranged properly, maybe I may return to Beijing before the end of July; my son’s side will be far south and will never be able to come back for two months.

"Tianyou can't come back. I have to make a conclusion by looking at Liaohe News... Regardless of whether our father and son come back or not, everything will be the same... Ask for the fourth brother and Hongshu's help..."

These two, one is the cousin and the other is the uncle, are the candidates who can come forward to arrange for Tianyou.

Chu Yu had no other way, so he nodded and agreed.

The father and son were on a business trip, and Li couldn't hide it from him, so he could only change his words.

Cao Yong said that he was ordered to go out of the customs to inspect the land and taxes outside the customs; Tianyou said that he was secretly guarding the fourth prince to inspect the salt tax in Liangjiang.

True and false only cover up the flood.

Li really believed it, and didn't explain anything to Changsun, but was very worried about his son.

He was about to fall, even if he was cooler outside the pass, Cao Yong's body was no longer as young as he was. He had another serious illness before the New Year, and now he looks too thin.

The old man was worried and had to instruct his wife to bring more heat relief medicine. He also put most of the ginseng tablets on his side for his son, so that he could relieve his fatigue when he was tired and must cherish himself.

Cao Yong was grateful for the love of his kind mother, so he only praised him. He turned around and became a strict father in front of his son.

"You are a guard, just do your duty as a guard, don't say too much about anything else... The Fourth Prince is an idea. He works with him and does not need to have his own ideas..." Cao Yong explained.

It’s not that I don’t want my son to become a good person, but that Tianyou’s age and experience are here. Too much or not, it is easy to expose his shortcomings. It’s better to be a subject of obedience.

If you become a confidant, you have to weigh the weight. Since ancient times, there have been a few counselors around the king who have had a good end. Even if the Fourth Prince is not the king now, the risk will be too high in the future.

Words about the eyes and ears are close, but they are easily looked down upon after the credit is made.

If you have brothers and sisters, don't think about it.

The emperors of the Qing Dynasty did not pay attention to brothers and sisters, but the difference between masters and slaves.

Even Yongzheng and the fourteen Beizi had the same father and mother, one was the emperor's master and the other was the subordinate of the slaves; not to mention that God blessed a little foreign minister.

After Tianyou, you just need to work hard for the minister who is strong.

Not the one who is most intimate with the emperor, as long as it is indispensable.

Tianyou listened to his father's teachings and thought to his father.

Before the emperor ascended the throne in the morning, the Cao Mansion had a friendly relationship with the Yong Mansion, but my father never took this step beyond the line and upholds the duties of the monarch and his subjects.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, there have been many trusted ministers whom he relied on, Nian Gengyao and Longkodo in the past; and Li Wei and Tian Wenjing in the present.

But Nian Gengyao and Longkodo confiscated their homes and seized their titles, but they could not die well; Li Wei and Tian Wenjing became sharp swords in the hands of the emperor, and offended many powerful scholars.

The emperor is over, Li Wei and Tian Wenjing have a backer; if the emperor... what will the outcome of these two people...

Tianyou felt chills on his back and understood his father's intention...

The father and son were talking, and a servant came to report it. Someone outside the door handed over a post and asked to see him.

He was appointed as the Minister of Works. Cao Yong could not have been the commander of the barely-elected commander. He also left the capital with one or two chief officials and four minor officials of the Dushuiqing Office of the Ministry of Works.

Now the people who are submitting posts outside the door are the ones who will leave Beijing with him tomorrow.

After looking at the signatures under the visit, one of them was known to Cao Yong, who was the clan uncle Yongliang, who was the left brother.

Cao Yong remembers that Yongliang is a seventh-rank treasurer and has a serious job, so why did he become a mistress who travels with the company?

The responsibilities under the Ministry of Works are related to the tombs of the emperor and empress, and the people and the people. Many projects are mostly outside the capital. Most of the low-level officials of the Ministry of Works are when they leave the capital, and they are all minor officials who have no serious responsibilities.

At this time, traveling is not easy, and business trips are not a good thing.

It’s good that you have high rank, but you have local officials to respect them. If you are a minor official, you can only work hard, and even make contributions to your hard work, which is often the icing on the cake for your accompanying boss and will not fall on your own.

Although Cao Yong was surprised, he said nothing and led the six people to the west hall of the front yard to meet the guests.

The six people came to ask for instructions on the trip and gathering time tomorrow. Cao Yong immediately detained the Minister of Works, the immediate superior of everyone, so they naturally took Cao Yong as their horse head.

The two main people were talking. Yongliang bowed his head and said nothing at the end of the four miscellaneous staff, nor did he deliberately show that he knew Cao Yong.

Cao Yong talked about the time and location of his departure tomorrow morning.

However, after everyone left, Cao Yong asked Tianyou about Yongliang.

Tianyou knew about this. It turned out that Yongliang was expelled from his elder mother and returned to the house. Although there was no impeachment from the censor, it could not be kept in the end and it was passed on to the Ministry of Works.

With the several troubles of Yongliang's biological mother, in the eyes of the unknown, it seemed that Yongliang was greedy for wealth. Even if he was abandoned by his wealthy elder mother, he would not return to his poor biological father and mother's home to fulfill his filial piety.

Unfilial and unrighteous, Yongliang was naturally disliked by Shangguan.

He lost his actual position as a treasurer and became a mistress in the Ministry of Works.

For some reason, Cao Yong remembered the first time he saw Yongliang, but he was just a boy. When he thought about Yongliang taking care of Zuo Zhu, he felt a little reluctant.

He thought for a while and said, "Zuo Zhu said it or not, did Yongliang defend himself in the yamen?"

Tianyou shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. Zuo Zhu is full of trouble twice and almost fought with others. Zuo Zhuo said harshly, don't mention the matter of the elders, so Zuo Zhuo made Zuo honest."

No matter whether Yongliang is sincere or false, he is not afraid of his own family as an uncle... Keeping him with him can restrain his old lady...

The next day, Cao Yong finished breakfast and went to Fuyuan Hall to say goodbye.

Changsheng, Tianhui, and Tianbao were all here, and Cao Yong had to give a few instructions one by one before bidding farewell to Li and leaving the house.

Several officials from the Ministry of Works, Cao Yong made an appointment with him to gather under the Andingmen City Tower.

There is also Yiduli, who is traveling with him, who also made an appointment with Andingmen.

There were not many people traveling there, but they all had to be used, including Zhang Yi, Cao Man, Wei Hei and Cao Jia, and four other guards, who were trained by Cao Jia.

Although the emperor did not express his order and asked Cao Yong and Yidu to set up a post office, Cao Yong thought about it and did not ask anyone to prepare a carriage, but instead rode a horse with everyone.

When I arrived at Andingmen, Iduli and several officials from the Ministry of Works had arrived.

Yidu stood on his face and was in a good mood, talking and laughing with several officials.

Several officials were cautious and were talking with each other.

Everyone had seen it, so they worked together to leave Beijing from Andingmen and headed north along the official road.

Cao Yong and Yidu stood together and looked at each other with a smile on their faces.

Cao Yong said: "I didn't expect that after many years, there would be a chance to go on a business trip with adults..."

Yiduli smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm following Furuo..."
