Chapter 1369: Be cautious

When Cao Yong was resting in peace, there was one thing that the couple had to solve, that was to make a decision in Prince Jian’s mansion.

Originally, the two families decided to marry around the Double Ninth Festival by the end of July. Even though Cao Yong and his son had both taken the errands and left Beijing, the Cao family did not plan to reschedule.

Tianyou followed the Fourth Prince to the south, and the Fourth Prince always had to return to Beijing before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Tianyou's wedding date could not be delayed.

Not to mention outside the pass, the weather turns colder in the late July and early August, and the rainfall is less, and the flood control chores are almost the same.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yong suffered a "serious illness".

In this way, the etiquette has to be changed.

First of all, the head of the family was "seriously ill" and how could he easily handle the wedding? Second, when Cao Yong was "seriously ill", the ceremony was scheduled for the appointment. Even if it had been decided long ago, outsiders seemed to be suspected of "joking with joy".

The sixth princess is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cao family. How could Cao's husband let her pass through the door with this reputation?

Besides, this also makes the Cao family's "arrogant" behavior easy to attract the royal family to reject it. In this way, the date of the decision will definitely be postponed.

The day after returning to Beijing, Chu Yu sent someone to Prince Jian’s mansion to hand in a post, which said that Prince Jian’s emptiness was written, and two days later, he visited Prince Jian’s emptiness.

Prince Jane's husband is eager to love his daughter and is thinking about this.

Cao Yongshengjing was "seriously ill" and Princess Rui went north to shi, which was no secret in Beijing.

But Cao Yong was so sick that he happened to be sick after he exploded the bridge in front of the imperial tomb. Some people thought there was something wrong with it.

Even Yaerjiang A didn't believe that Cao Yong was sick again, and he was not covered with lanterns. The serious illness was only cured for half a year before the New Year, and he fell down again now.

Yaerjiang A didn't think that Cao Yong, who had always been cautious, had this courage when he was bombing bridges.

In his opinion, Cao Yong was a minister whom he valued today, and he must have done his best.

The emperor was afraid that water would flood the imperial tomb, so he could use the opportunity to make use of the situation, so that Cao Yong would weigh the pros and cons and bomb the bridge. Cao Yong himself was just taking the blame for the emperor.

Even the emperor doesn’t care about the Taizu’s tomb, so it’s not the turn of Prince Jian’s mansion to worry about it.

The Jian Wang Mansion was not like other royal kings in the royal family, and was originally named the king as Taizu's nephew.

The Jian Mansion is an old-fashioned prince’s mansion. There are royal mansions and Wangzhuang in Shengjing. Yaerjiang A sent his confidant manager to Shengjing to find out the news.

It can only be said that Cao Yong was used to being cautious. In addition to Chu Yu and Tai Doctor Bai, even Yiduli thought he was "sick and sick", let alone the manager of Prince Jian's mansion who could only inquire about the outside world.

So, when Yaerjiang A and Wanyan Yongjia received news that Cao Yong was indeed seriously ill, they couldn't help but start to worry.

It’s not that I hope my baby’s daughter gets married soon, but that I’m worried about the situation of the Cao family.

The Cao family's house seems to be glorious, but Cao Yong is independent support for the rise and fall. Even though a few cousins ​​have served as officials, they are separated by a house and separated by a family.

If Cao Yong really had a chance, Tianyou, who was young, would become the head of the Cao family.

Even if the Cao family has a title, the title and official power are not the same as the power. Tianyou is too young, and even after the subjugation, the emperor will not be too high in terms of rank.

Even if the relatives and relatives are all high-ranking families, relatives and friends are relatives and friends, not their own family.

If the Cao family wants to restore its current dignity, it will take at least a dozen efforts, and it depends on whether Tianyou is young and whether the future emperor will value the Cao family as much as the current emperor.

It’s not that Yaerjiang A’s snobbish, but that he loves his daughter very much. He thought that as long as Cao Yong is in the Cao family, his son-in-law just needs to be qualified in Shiwei.

Shiwei Department's job is leisurely and decent, which also allows the young couple to spend more time together. If Tianyou becomes the head of the Cao family, he will be busy in the family for the rise and fall of the family, not only will he suffer, but even the six princesses will not be spared.

Yongjia is a woman, thinking more.

If Cao Yong really had a chance, the wedding date of the Sixth Princess would be postponed for three years. Sixth Princess is sixteen this year, and three years later it will be nineteen years old. Tianyou will be the year of the crown.

Chengsi’s burden is heavy and urgent, how can the Sixth Princess live comfortably?

In addition, Yongjia thought of her parents' home. Although her family was implicated by her elder brother, she was demoted to her title, but because of her father's military experience, there was some trouble inside and outside the family, there was no big trouble.

Then when her father died of illness and the second brother took over the head of the family, the family situation showed a decadent appearance.

It’s not that her second brother can’t do it, but her younger generation is low, she is easily constrained in the family, and has no qualifications in the officialdom.

If her uncle from the Prince Kang's mansion was there, she would have some help. The mother's uncle died of illness, and her cousin was young, Cheng Jue, and the prince's mansion couldn't take care of herself, so she couldn't care about her in-laws.

The situation of the Cao family is very similar to that of Wanyan Mansion back then.

Even though there is a Prince Chun Mansion in Cao's Mansion and two families in Ping's Mansion, Prince Ping retired and the prince took office; on the Prince Chun Mansion, Prince Chun has been sick in recent years and has appeared to be out of the mansion for a few years.

Both families are as human beings with tails, so where can they take care of the Cao family?

Although he was worried a lot about his daughter, Yongjia was also really worried about the Cao family.

Since he ascended the throne, the Fourteen Beizi has been under house arrest. As the wife of the Fourteen Beizi, the Wanyan family has been excluded and attacked a lot.

Even though the Kang Prince's Mansion had fewer contacts with the Wanyan family, the Cao family was consistent, which made Yongjia feel very emotional.

Cao Yongfu arrived in Beijing yesterday and posted a post to the door the next day. Zhaoxian's attention to this marriage was enough to give the decentness of Prince Jian's mansion. Yaer Jiang A and Yongjia were quite satisfied. Yongjia immediately sent someone to prepare a few boxes of high-quality ginseng and deer antlers, and then said to her husband: "Master, since Mrs. Cao is visiting the next day, it's hard for you and me to come over to visit him. I'm too negligent to send my servants. Let the third prince go..."

According to Yaerjiang A, I wanted to take a walk by myself.

The front and back streets are just a cup of tea, and it doesn’t take much trouble. But when I remembered that I went back to Cao’s mansion and asked my wife to complain when I came back, I felt a little embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Yaerjiang A nodded and said, "Just as Foolishong said, but there is no need to be too urgent, it seems that we have lost our restraint. Just let Yongqian go over to find out tomorrow and send a reply by the way."

Yongjia thought about it and the same reason. They are women's families and can be kind to the Cao family, but it is not better to be too proactive...

Cao Mansion, Jiuruyuan.

Cao Yong woke up from a nap in the afternoon and was receiving the sixteenth prince who came straight into the house.

Although Cao Yong had been "rehaving for half a month", Doctor Bai had an idea in mind and prescribed this prescription carefully. It could nourish Cao Yong's vitality without raising him to be fat.

The medicine soup I drink every day is specially used to relieve the fire, which makes Cao Yong lose his appetite.

In this way, although Cao Yong was very energetic, his face was still as dark and thin as he had just fallen ill. Compared with before leaving Beijing, he seemed to have grown a few years old all of a year.

The sixteenth prince looked at Cao Yong carefully, and then said with a grudge: "Are you a child? You can get tired of yourself by going out of Beijing to do an errand? It would be fine if you were glorious, but it would be thankless if you were to live a life. If you were to blame the royal family, you would be impeached by the censor!"

Cao Yong smiled and said, "I'm just a little tired, but it's not a big deal..."

The sixteenth prince snorted coldly, and without waiting for Cao Yong to give in, he pulled a chair and sat down loudly: "It's okay to be like this? Do you have to sacrifice your life before you pay attention?"

Cao Yong said twice, "Hehe" and said, "The water situation of the Liaohe River is really dangerous. If I don't see the situation everywhere with my own eyes, I feel really worried... I have left ninety-nine steps. If I neglect my last tremor, wouldn't it be a waste of work in front?"

The sixteenth prince frowned and lowered his voice and said, "You are a problem and need to be cured!"

Cao Yong thought the Sixteenth Prince said he was "narrowing" and said with his chin: "It's a petty family... It's just that the matter is not bad. It's ruthless, and it's related to the people's livelihood and the country, so he dare not be disrespectful."

The sixteenth prince was about to grit his teeth and stand up, pointing at Cao Yong's nose, and said, "What are you talking about?"

Seeing that he was really angry, Cao Yong was confused.

Not what you are talking about, which one?

Others don’t know about my own problem, but the Sixteenth Prince knows it.

It’s okay if you don’t do anything. Since you do it, you want to do it perfectly.

I heard the sixteenth prince say, "The eighteen flood control points around Shengjing are 108 miles away from Shengjing, and the closest ten miles. From early June, you will ride a horse to and from Shengjing to Shengjing at least three times each time. You have been to several places around the Daliao River more than three times. You set off at Yin hour (3 am) every day and have to turn around at night every night... It is not because you can't bear the hardship of staying outside, but because you are worried that there will be news about other flood control points and you will delay outside and go back for a while. Is this right?"

After the Sixteenth Prince said this, Cao Yong remembered the deep and hot life that month, and felt that the big roots were itchy.

Because of the journey, Cao Yong's big tui roots were grinding out of cocoons in just a short time.

Seeing that Cao Yong did not speak, the sixteenth prince continued, "Thirty days, you traveled every day and traveled everywhere, and your itinerary has accumulated over ten thousand miles... I went to the Imperial Hospital to check your pulse case. The reason for the illness was not only overwork, but also because of the rain and sun, cold and heat... Tell me, what is the purpose of you working so hard?"

Cao Yong didn’t think there was anything wrong with him before, but now he sounded like a fool. Yes, why did he work so hard?

But he was a little unconvinced, and he couldn't help but defend himself: "I thought the south would be in great flood this year, and the best way to protect the reclaimed villages around Shengjing..."

The sixteenth prince frowned and said, "Don't talk about Shengjing City, or Kentun, but only your actions? Yes, you are a leader, and you are not a master. You can do this when you are in charge of a pool. Even the emperor should praise you for "being cautious in your own life". But you are just careful? You are used to being alone, and you have never believed others! Who is Yiduli? You are your former colleague, an old friend who has been in love with you for more than ten years, and you are the deputy of your job this time. You can't even believe him. You asked him to inspect, but you can't believe him. You still have to find Yuzi to go there again. Seeing this is true, right?"

Cao Yong's smile was so tight that he felt his face hot and he felt a sense of embarrassment of being exposed.

Is it distrust? No, he is just worried about any omissions.

But the Sixteenth Prince pointed out so bluntly that he couldn't even deceive himself...

The sixteenth prince sighed and sat down and said, "I know that you have to patrol each other and want to shock those people. They can save them from greed for money on the construction of dikes and dams, delaying major issues... Why do you see everything so clearly? Sometimes you need to be confused when doing things..."

Cao Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Master Sixteen, am I so conspicuous?"

The Sixteenth Prince shook his head and said with a little complacent attitude: "Why do everyone have the wise eyes of my master? Humph, I have been with you for twenty years, but I still don't know how many intestines you have in your belly? Even the Thirteenth Prince just thinks you are careful and cautious. In order to be afraid that you are tired, he specially transferred Yuanbai to the Ministry of Revenue to help you..."

Cao Yong didn't know what to say, so he quickly thought about his interactions with the Sixteenth Prince to see if there was any sign of "not believing".

There was always a faint fear in his heart, for this world.

In addition to Cao Song, who was indifferent to the big shots, and also had a few friends and the Sixteenth Prince who he made when he was a teenager, he rarely gave trust to others.

Because when we first met, those young friends were like white paper. The colorful life that followed was outlined little by little, was also in Cao Yong's eyes.

To put it bluntly, it means knowing the roots and bottom lines.

If it were someone else, even if he showed friendly agreements in exchanges, he would be more careful and sorted out in his heart, and he would pursue the friendship between the king as light as water.

It’s nothing, but when he encounters serious things, he does do everything himself.

In this way, this serious illness is really a big deal.

Cao Yong mocked himself: "It's really a problem. It seems that he has changed... Otherwise, he would be exhausted to death in less than two years..."

The sixteenth prince snorted and said, "It's good that you know, hurry up and take care of it. Several southern provinces have encountered floods this year, and the Ministry of Revenue will be busy..."

Speaking of this, the Sixteenth Prince remembered his purpose, not only to visit Cao Yong, but also to convey the news, and said, "I just came out of the palace. Hongli had a letter to the imperial court in the morning, saying that he had boarded the ship and headed north and could arrive in Beijing before the Mid-Autumn Festival..."

Although Cao Yong thought that his son would probably come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he still felt relieved after hearing the letter.

However, thinking of Zuo Cheng again, he couldn't help asking: "Does the Sixteenth Master have any news about Huguang?"

The sixteenth prince looked at him with a smile and said, "This time, Furuo is afraid that he will not be able to do it... Yin Jishan commissioned the Hunan Censorship to delay his return to Beijing..."

When Cao Yong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Is Yin Jishan promoted? Why don't I, the Minister of Revenue, know?"

The sixteenth prince shook his fan and said, "Your order was issued half an hour ago. You don't know. If you know, you will see the ghost! The Miao and Han in Huguang live together, and Yin Jishan just started the ruling yamen and the ruling yamen. One person is weak, so the emperor ordered Yuan Bai to stay and help Yin Jishan, and another official returned to Beijing to explain his errands."

Cao Yong said in confusion: "Yuan Bai is only seventeen, and a seventh-grade pen style, how can he take on such an important task? Li Kuangshan has the qualifications and has many talents, why didn't he stay in Huguang?"
