Chapter 559: Dangerous (Part 2)
Chapter 559: Dangerous (Part 2)
Although Cao Yong knew that since he was an imperial envoy, Kangxi might have referred several guards to follow him, he was still quite surprised when he saw Nalanfusson and Hesson.
Unexpectedly, Cao Yong is not the only one.
He Shan raised his eyebrows and looked at Cao Yong and smiled, "The emperor pointed at us as a guard, and he thought it was a central hall or military gate. He was afraid that it was not easy to serve on the road. Unexpectedly, it was you. This time, my brothers didn't have to panic."
Cao Yong looked at the outfits of these ten people, one first-class guard, one second-class guard, three third-class guard, four third-class guard, and two blue-skin guards.
In addition to Nalanfusen and Heshan, there are two or three guards whom Cao Yong knew, and the rest are all new faces.
After getting the job, these people came out and saw Cao Yong wearing embroidered white squid clothes. They were young and looked down upon them.
It is certainly decent to be able to go to the northwest, but today is the emperor's temporary job, and not everyone is willing to go.
However, seeing that Heshan and Cao Yong were close, Nalanfusson said he didn't say anything, but the smile on his face could not be stopped, and everyone felt a little confused.
Nalanfusson looked at everyone's expressions and knew what these people were doing.
Working in the palace, especially those who can survive until the Qianqing Sect guards, are all powerful and noble children, and no one comes from a small family. These people are not only arrogant in their hearts, but also often act snobbishly.
Thinking of this, Nalanfusen smiled and said to Cao Yong: "Why are you wearing this outfit? Is this addicted to being a lie officer? Why do you say hello? You are not old. Look at what you have been doing in the past few years, and you have also made the Taoist platform. You have also made this Taipu Temple Minister. After a walk around, you are back to be a lie officer. If you don't know, you are really a newcomer."
Speaking of this, he said to the guards: "This is a doctor in the Ministry of War, Lord Cao Yongcao, the prince of Heshuo. Although he is young, he is your senior. Now he still has the shortcomings of the guards. Speaking of which, everyone is considered a brother in robes."
After hearing the name "Cao Yong", no one dared to neglect it.
Although the Cao family was born in Baoyi, they were a new high-profile in recent years. The man is the princess and the woman is the princess. Not everyone can catch up with this kind of decency.
Although Cao Yong was happy to see Nalanfusen, Heshan and others, he was a little disliked when he looked at the arrogant look of others.
After all, this so-called "Imperial Guard" is more of an honor. Although riding horses and shooting archery is good, it is useless when encountering major events.
These people followed them to the northwest. Although they received the sage order, they temporarily guarded Cao Yong, the "instructor", and actually could not rely too much on them.
Yi Duli had already seen this greeting. After seeing these ten guards, he was stunned.
The Minister of Personnel Fu Ning'an went to the Northwest Prime Minister for military service. He brought only ten guards, most of whom were new. Cao Yong was just running around, and there were ten guards who followed him.
"It can be seen that he is a grandson-in-law. The emperor treats you differently." Yidu smiled on the face, but felt quite moved in his heart.
He was also a child from a great family. His father was a Grand Secretary and his mother was the daughter of a Grand Secretary. His father and mother were extremely prominent. It was because his father died early and was dragged down by his grandfather's family, and he was not very satisfied over the years.
Iduli and Nalanfusson are about the same age and have long been old acquaintances.
Among the remaining new guards, there is another third-class guard who is a son of the Irgen Jueluo family. In terms of seniority, Yiduli is called Uncle.
Everyone had met each other again, and it took a while for a while.
Cao Yong looked up and saw that it was getting late, and said, "Since Lord Yi is coming out, let's go. Let's go. Take more roads before the sun is at noon, and you can take a break at noon."
Although this industry was nominally Cao Yong, Yiduli and ten guards, the number of servants led by Cao Yong and Yiduli was nearly thirty.
The strength of Wei Hei and Zheng Hu, and the strength of Cao Jia and the strength of the four others, made several new guards look at each other. Who are the guards? With these people standing beside Cao Yong, they look like they are serving in guards, like silver wax gun tips.
The moment Yiduli saw Zheng Hu, hesitated for a moment and nodded to indicate.
Zheng Hu glanced at Cao Yong and saw that he didn't say anything, so he nodded as a gift.
Because we were galloping at the post station, we didn’t need to prepare a pair of horses. We rode one by one and headed north on the official road. As the sound of horse hooves rose, a slight dust was brought...
Changchun Garden, Qingxi Bookstore.
Kangxi sat on the kang, and several great scholars bowed to report the matter.
The former Fengtian Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture Hao Lin was promoted to the Chief of the Zongren Prefecture Prefecture at the beginning of last month, and the Chief of Fengtian Prefecture was vacant. The Ministry of Personnel once recommended Shao Guan, the left assistant censor, as the Chief of Fengtian Prefecture Prefecture Prefecture, and Kangxi also approved the report.
The Shao Guan was in trouble. On the day of the resignation, the news that the Yangtze River in Huguang broke through the dam reached the imperial front.
Kangxi was already angry, and Shao Guan was afraid of the power of heaven. He was trembling with his words and spoke in a difficult manner, so he was taken off on the spot.
Now it is the sect’s mansion that is urging people, and there is also complicated business. However, the new mansion’s chief stayed in Fengtian because he had not arrived and could not set off for Beijing.
At this time, no one would think of the unlucky guy who was dismissed last month, and several senior officials proposed two candidates.
Kangxi, on the other hand, did not reflect on whether he was angry. He asked about the resumes and achievements of these two officials, and finally decided that the older one was the prefect of Fengtian Prefecture.
In addition to the prefect of Fengtian Prefecture, the Governor-General Cangchang Minister was also vacant.
This time, the candidates recommended by the Grand Secretary were Cao Yin, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Jingshan, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.
The Ministry of Rites is a gentle and elegant yamen, but like other yamen, two ministers, four ministers, and six officials in charge. When it comes to idle people, half of them are in charge.
The Warehouse Office is mainly responsible for the acceptance of grain, daily management of "Beijing Cang", and the river work, transportation and other matters from the North Canal to the capital. The chief official is the "Governor-General Warehouse Minister".
Although the Governor-General, the Minister of the Governor-General, and the other Ministers of the Six Divisions, are both second-rank officials, they are of the weight.
In the words of the officialdom in the capital, although the six ministers have high ranks, they are just "the wife of the second wife". There are two ministers above and doctors in various departments below.
He took the salary of the minister and did the errand work as a minister, and had to deal with the struggles of the people in the yamen. When he was unlucky, he had to take the blame for the superiors.
The Governor-General Kurabashi, however, is different.
In name, the Cangchang Yamen belongs to the Ministry of Revenue, but because it involves the matter of the grain transportation affairs, it is under the jurisdiction of the general governor of the grain transportation, the Ministry of Revenue rarely interferes in the affairs of the Cangchang Yamen.
Under the warehouse yamen, there are departments such as east, west, and Cao, which are in charge of the "Thirteen Warehouses" from the capital to Tongzhou. The chief officer of this yamen is short of first-class fat.
The people who proposed Cao Yin also meant to understand the holy heart and deliberately sell good things.
When Kangxi heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
This warehouse affairs involve the interests of all parties. If you don’t talk about the heavy responsibilities, you will be in a deep abyss if you are not careful.
Shi Shilun was famous for half a lifetime and became the Minister of Warehouse. He was in a very embarrassing situation. In the end, Kangxi released the minister to protect this minister, which was considered to be the preservation of him.
When Shi Shilun is like this, and when Cao Yin is in a stronger relationship, Kangxi is naturally unwilling to take on this job.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, the assistant minister in the warehouse is a fat man who can make money with all his heart, but with Cao Yin's loyalty, he can only focus on doing things.
Kangxi thought about it for a while and said, "First, Jingshan, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, shall take charge of the general affairs of the warehouse, and see if it is used or not."
After the monarch and ministers finished their discussion, several great scholars knelt down.
Kangxi rubbed his right hand, got up from the kang, sat and drove his car to the Empress Dowager's harem to pay tribute.
The empress dowager had already had breakfast and was thinking about things on the kang. After hearing that Kangxi had arrived, she hurriedly sat up with a kind look on her face.
After getting along for years, Kangxi treated this stepmother sincerely and respected him in his heart.
Seeing her eyes swollen and there were many red bloodshots in her eyes, Kangxi couldn't help but feel a little worried and bowed and said, "My mom, did you not rest yesterday? Do you want to send me a message to the imperial physician to come and have a look?"
The empress dowager shook her head and said, "No, I just dreamed of the empress dowager all night long... I also dreamed of the empress dowager. She scolded me and blamed me for being useless. She didn't protect Yuyin back then, and now she has not taken care of Yuyin's children..."
When Kangxi heard the Empress Dowager mention the previous events, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
I didn’t sleep well last night, and it was not just the Empress Dowager who was the only one?
Even Kangxi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and always felt as if he could hear sighs.
When the empress dowager saw Kangxi's expression, she felt unbearable, so she patted the edge of the kang and said, "Emperor, sit down, you are also very tired. It has been not easy for decades to get up early to handle the government."
Kangxi sat sideways, looking at the empress dowager's half-white hair, and said, "Mother, even the empress dowager is still a little bit strange, but I am not a little bit strange. In the future, if the empress dowager wants to talk to Shuqing, I will tell you that she will enter the palace."
"Shuqing?" The Empress Dowager pondered: "This is the name given to her mother? It is so literary and bizarre. Looking at her appearance, she is a bit similar to her mother, but she is a blessing."
"I took it!" Kangxi's face looked reminiscent and replied in a deep voice: "Since I knew she had a body, I have circled the child's name, my son was called 'Chengquan' and his daughter was called 'Shuqing'..." At the end, he showed a look of pain.
Seeing that he was uncomfortable, the empress dowager was already a little regretful and mentioned it, saying, "The past has passed. The Ai family was thinking, I am afraid that the emperor did not forget her, otherwise the princes would not have the first name of her name. But I haven't mentioned it for these years, just think that your discomfort has passed... People cannot be resurrected, what's the point of mentioning it again? It won't take many years for us to be companions with them... Now, under the underworld, the Empress Dowager and the others reunited. Seeing the child's life is harmonious and beautiful, I feel happy..."
The Empress Dowager was talking nonsense, as if she was rejoicing Kangxi, and as if she was rejoicing herself again.
After thinking about this, the old man felt much more relieved. He looked at Kangxi and said, "No matter what other Ai family is, it's hot, so there is no need to bother with the child anymore. Why is it so vague? I heard that her son was demoted to the official position. Although the Ai family should not talk too much about this matter in the court, it is their own children. If you don't look at monks and Buddhas' faces, don't be too strict. Children's family are irritable, and they are nothing. Don't we have to be old and take care of them?"
After hearing the Empress Dowager's words, Kangxi felt a little embarrassed and a little moved.
The Queen Mother is the most kind and eager to take care of her. In recent years, the royal family and Mongolian princes have used the Queen Mother as a shield. Because of this, the mother and son have been in a state of centrifugation.
Kangxi was the least interested in hearing the empress dowager's tone of protecting her shortcomings, but today he just felt warm.
Although the empress dowager said she loved the house and the mistress, and regarded Li and Cao Yong as her juniors, when she thought of Cao Yin, she shook her head and felt that she was not enough and said, "It's just that this marriage was made in the past... I won't talk about the family, Cao Yin is really older..."
Xicheng, Cao Mansion, Lanyuan, Shangfang.
Cao Yin changed into official uniforms, and Li took the court beads and put them on for her husband.
Cao Yin was a little reluctant to bother his wife, so he helped Li to the side of the kang and sat down, saying, "Let you sleep a little longer, get up so early again? Now it's not as usual, even for the sake of the children, so you should rest more. If you still do this, I will go to the study tomorrow..."
"Master, it's not that precious, it's not the first time I've had a baby. Yong'er left after the first time, and he slept for two or three hours." Li said with a little shame: "I beg the master, don't do this anymore, let my wife see you, just think that we two are not practicing anymore."
Cao Yin smiled and waved his hand, saying, "That's what he said, this is at home. We are husband and wife. Isn't my son so lucky that he has a child, please ask me to take care of you?"
Seeing that her husband refused to listen to his advice, Li glanced at him with a angrily look, but felt a little joy in his heart.
Speaking of which, although the couple has been respectful to each other for more than 20 years, they have never blushed, but they have never been so close.
Cao Yin looked at his wife's gentle face and said, "I have not thanked you for these years. In my early years, I was busy with the affairs of the yamen and did not take care of my family. I was mostly troubled by you to serve the old lady and take care of my children on my behalf. How could I deserve you? After marrying me, I felt a little sad..." At the end of my speech, I was already feeling a little emotional.
Li thought that her husband was talking about his daughter marrying him as a second wife, so he hurriedly said, "What did the master say about these things, which makes people feel so sad? The old lady loved me very much during her lifetime. The master has been very sympathetic over the years. I was originally a fatherless orphan. When I arrived in such a family, I lived such a life. If I were not satisfied, I would be punished by God..."
Cao Yin felt more and more ashamed when he remembered the absurdity he had when he was young. He opened his mouth and just as he was about to speak, he heard the rushing footsteps in the yard.
"Master, Madam, Fourth Master..." Before the maid could report in the corridor, Cao Xiang had already stepped into the house quickly.
"Uncle, uncle, uncle..." Cao Xiang entered the room and knelt on the ground with a "thump". His mouth was opened and closed, and tears were already flowing like a spring, and he was choked and unable to speak.
Li was frightened, and Cao Yin frowned and said, "What do you think of crying? What happened? Is the second wife feeling uncomfortable?"
Cao Xiang shook his head, raised his head, covered his mouth with his fist, and replied in a crying voice: "Uncle, uncle...my third brother...my third brother is gone..."
East Mansion, west cross courtyard, upper room.
Cao Shuo's body was already hard, the blood on his face had dried up, but his face was peaceful and quiet.
Zhao Jia sat on the ground, grabbing her son's arm, but she couldn't cry...
Cao Feng stood aside with a pale face, looking at his brother lying on the ground, with a little panic in his eyes...
