Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cao Yong, who had just recovered from a serious illness, officially returned to the office of the Ministry of Revenue and went to the Old Summer Palace to pay tribute.

Since Cao Yong was ordered to leave the capital at the end of May, the monarch and minister have not seen each other for nearly three months.

Seeing Cao Yong's face clear, Yongzheng's eyes swept over the memorial on the case, and he felt a little guilty, but his face became more and more severe.

The words he spoke were somewhat similar to the sixteenth prince’s meaning, and they all blamed Cao Yong for not caring about his body.

It’s just that Cao Yong’s serious illness is different from his own opinion.

What the sixteenth prince saw was Cao yong's "independence" Yongzheng saw was Cao yong's "care".

He gritted his teeth and said, "You are the minister of the head of the department I have appointed. How many major things will you have to bear in the future? A errand of Shengjing flood control can cost you half of your life: How can I leave the errands to you with confidence? It's okay to have it around the imperial tomb. The former Zhaojun Village has only more than a thousand acres. You have also settled a flood control site and visited it three times. Even if it is a fertile land, the annual income is only more than a thousand taels.

Is my Minister of Revenue worth only a thousand taels?"

At the end of the training, Yongzheng really felt a little open.

He valued Cao yong.

He believed in Cao Yong's ethics, and also believed that Cao Yong was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and had the ability to accumulate wealth for the Qing Dynasty.

But in fact, due to the word "cautious", although Cao Yong has not made any mistakes in the Ministry of Revenue in recent years, he has made no achievements.

As for Shengjing flood control, it is an errand in the Ministry of Works. If a person with a sophisticated person can do it carefully, he will not show his ability.

Cao Yong knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and couldn't help but thrust the corners of his mouth.

Since Yongzheng had clearly investigated the matter of the former Zhaojun Gate, did he not know that although there were not many fertile land there, there were five villages scattered by the river.

It’s just that it’s not a Mintun, but a Baoyi slave under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a reed household in three villages, and a hawk household in two villages.

Most of these ancestors were guilty people and were in charge of serving in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The descendants were not allowed to enter the pass and official positions for life.

Perhaps in Yongzheng's eyes, they were nothing at all: but Cao Yong knew that there were hundreds of lives there, so how could he remain indifferent?

But at this moment, under Yongzheng's reprimand, he had no room for defense and could only kowtow to apologize.

Seeing Cao Yong feel good, Yongzheng snorted coldly, and finally looked better: "Get up and go ahead and the situation will be bigger, don't do anything yourself. You are still young, and I want to use you for a few more years. As long as you are loyal to the public, even if you have any faults, I will take care of you. Don't be cautious, otherwise I will give you a plaque in vain? How can you become a great person if you are careful? No matter what happens, you don't have to think too much. You are my nephew and you can guarantee your peace for life, and I can still do it."

Cao Yong thought it was surprising that Yongzheng's previous reprimand meant "the deep love is deep and the verdict is urgent", which is not surprising: even the origins that cannot be expressed in the past come out and play the emotional card. Why is this?

At this time, Yongzheng continued: "I heard that your eldest son was going to marry before the New Year, so he always had to make the marriage more decent. In addition, he worked very hard to follow the Fourth Prince south this time and became the second-class guard..."

Before seeing each other, Cao Yong had thought that for the sake of Shengjing flood control, Yongzheng might have rewards and most of them fell on the eldest son who was about to marry.

But now, although Cao Yong was full of gratitude, he felt more and more unsure.

Just because the words "no matter what happens" that Yongzheng said before made people frightened.

Until he came out of the Old Summer Palace, Cao Yong was a little uneasy.

Could it be that even if the bridge bombing in Shengjing was filed with apology, the hidden dangers could not be eliminated?

Or is it that Shengjing has made a big mistake in flood control, and he, the leading chief, has to take responsibility for it?

Or the flood control matter came to an end, and the emperor wanted to deal with the royal family and became a pond fish himself?

No matter which one it is, the holy heart is not lost. Looking at Yongzheng's meaning, it seems that he has no choice but to give himself a punishment.

Cao Yong was speechless and couldn't help but touch his forehead. Was he "recovered" too early?

After returning to the office of the Ministry of Revenue and having greeted with his colleagues, he mentioned this matter to Jiang Jian.

Jiang Jian thought about it carefully and asked Cao Yong: "Sir, will the second and fifth masters come back soon?"

"1 waiter, 1 waiter" Cao Po stood up suddenly: "It's waiter"

He was also suspicious that if Yongzheng really wanted to use the name of "Shocking the Imperial Tomb", he would probably have to retreat to the skin even if he was not dead. However, in Yongzheng's teaching just now, there were words such as asking him to do things with care, and there was no intention of replacing the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Because Yongzheng's son, who "loves him for life and hates him for death", would not leave his trusted minister idle because of impeachment by the royal family or the censor.

When Jiang Jian asked about his two cousins, he realized that this year was a major disaster in the south. Among the several provinces along the river, Jiangsu and Hunan collapsed the dams the most.

Jiang Jian reminded him and then he kept touching his beard and whispered.

Cao yong smiled bitterly and said, "The emperor really values ​​Li Wei..."

In order to deal with Fan Shifeng and protect Li Wei, Cao Song was to be pushed out.

Otherwise, the two supervisors will fight each other, and even if they deal with Fan Shifeng, Li Wei will not be completely clean.

Li Wei made a knife for the emperor. He has offended too many people in recent years and has a thin background. He has no other help except for the emperor's favor.

Fan Shifeng was born into a family of meritorious deeds. Li Wei came forward to sue him, so how could he end up well? Even if the emperor was determined to protect himself, he would still lead to various impeachments and impeachments.

Moreover, it may also trigger an official in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiang Jian was afraid that Cao Yong would feel resentful, so he hurriedly said: "It has always been wise today. If this is the case, it is also to take into account the overall situation and Jiangnan must have a great disaster. This year, we must not be in trouble. Even if the second master has setbacks, he will not be idle for too long. After three or two years, he will always recover."

Cao yong said: "Don't worry, sir, I know this truth."

What he was depressed was not because Yongzheng sacrificed Cao Song to protect Li Wei, but because of his own connection with Li Wei.

I took the initiative to show goodwill to Li Wei that I was very utilitarian, which was to make a good relationship for the Cao family and establish a good relationship for the future emperor and important officials.

Unexpectedly, I didn't get any advantage. Not only did I have to give a cousin to take care of Li Wei's son, but I also had to give him another fight for the two supervisors.

This is what the saying goes, "Stealing a chicken will not make you lose rice."

When the fallen yamen returned home, Cao Yong asked about giving gifts to Prince Jian’s mansion.

"There is only one auspicious day in the middle of the year, which is too hasty. In the late month, August 30 is a good day, otherwise it will be the sixth day of the September 20th." Chu Yu said: "I was about to discuss with the master, which of these two days is better?" At the end of October, it is Li's birthday, and there is also the Wanbao Festival.

The meaning of husband and wife is to marry the eldest daughter-in-law before the birthday, so that Li can have a grandson-in-law to celebrate her birthday this year.

Cao yong's two serious illnesses last year and now made Li worried and his sorrow has not been fully relieved.

Cao's husband persuaded him several times, but Li insisted on eating a long vegetarian meal to pray for his children and grandchildren.

The couple really have no choice but to hope that their eldest daughter-in-law will come in as soon as possible, and divert the elderly’s attention.

Even when the couple thought about the place where Changsheng was, they started to see each other after they finished Tianzuo's marriage. When the daughter was selected next year, they would get married after they were married.

Cao Yong had disapproved of marrying early, first, it was not conducive to childbirth, and the other was unstable, because he was afraid that the couple would have a disharmonious relationship after marriage.

But these two serious illnesses not only scared Li, but also a little scared himself.

"The betrothal gifts on both sides are prepared, just August 18th," Cao Yong thought for a while and said.

"Ah? Then there are only five days left. Will it be too hasty?" Chu Yu said in surprise.

According to current customs, betrothal gifts can be within one month to two months before the day.

Since the wedding date is scheduled in October, you don’t need to be so hasty when you get off the job. Whether it is August 30th or September 6th, you will be more calm.

Cao Ni did not hide his wife and told him about the situation of seeing you today, and his own guesses.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I am afraid that the lawsuit in the Jiangnan officialdom will be in front of the imperial court, and my cousin's favor will not be able to protect it. At that time, prepare a marriage for my son lively, but it is always different: now I will make a date as soon as possible, and then wait for the day.

When Chu Yu heard this, he frowned for a while and said, "Master, can't you protect your second uncle one or two?"

Cao yong said helplessly: "Do you think the emperor's intention can be changed at will?"

Chu Yu said sadly: "How can you live a life?"

Cao treats Cao Song differently. Chu Yu loves houses and Wu, and is the closest to Cao Song's room, and looks like a eldest sister-in-law.

Cao yong advised: "You don't have to worry too much. In front of the emperor, suffering losses may not be a blessing... My second brother is still young, but it's just a delay of two or three years. After he gets back, he will be more windy than he is now.

Chu Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about my second uncle's future, but I think that my two nieces and sisters will have a talent show next year. If my second brother is dismissed, my nieces' future will be."

Seeing that his wife was worried about this, Cao Yong didn't care: "Can the daughters of the Cao family still have to tie the royal family? The Cao family has already produced two princes and concubines. Even if the emperor keeps the sign, he will not point their sisters too high and give up their own marriage. It is a good thing."

Chu Yu said worriedly: "The master only thinks that marriage is a good thing, but he forgets that there are many snobbish people in the world... Even if the master helps him, if the second brother is dismissed, the big affairs of the two nieces will probably be delayed..."

After hearing this, Cao Yong couldn't help but turn a black face and complained to Yongzheng and Li Wei again.

He really chose honest people to bully him. In the past few years, Cao Song has been in Jiangning, and has been following Li Weifeng and rain, and has also sold his strength.

"Hmph, if the chosen family is so snobbish, it would be better if the marriage is not settled." Cao Yong said this, and was also considering the age of his two nieces in his heart.

Two nieces, one fourteen and one twelve, will be drafted together next year.

The marriage of the second niece was delayed, and the marriage of the eldest niece had to be made early, but this matter could be discussed later. The matter was imminent.

The next day, after Chu Yu sent Cao Yong away, he sent someone to visit Prince Jian's mansion to ask if Prince Jian had time in the afternoon.

When Yongjia received the post, she remembered what her husband told her yesterday that Cao Yong had recovered and began to go to the yamen. She knew in her heart that the Cao family would most likely arrange an appointment.

Although he was reluctant to leave, Yongjia didn't want her daughter's marriage to be reborn. She immediately prepared a reply and asked Chu Yu to come over in the afternoon...
