Chapter eight hundred and ninety third battle of wits(1/2)

Chapter 893: Wisdom Fight

When Cao Yong received the news that the seventh prince fell off his horse, he was in the Ministry of Revenue.

He didn't bother to go home to change his clothes, so he hurried to the Seventh Prince's Mansion after wearing his official uniform.

How could there be so many accidents in this world? If you guess correctly, it is probably the "hard trick" of the Seventh Prince to return to Beijing for the eldest son.

However, the Seventh Prince used this trick by someone else, because he was inconvenient to his legs.

When we arrived at the Seventh Prince's Mansion, the whole family was already in bleakness, and everyone looked frightened. The Seventh Prince is the pillar of the royal palace. If there were really a few people, I wonder how many people would have to take care of it.

The Sixteenth Prince was also here. He had arranged the matter of following the imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital. After hearing the news that the Seventh Prince fell off his horse, he came with the imperial physician.

Seeing Cao Yong coming with sweat, the Sixteenth Prince looked heavy and could not even say a word of comfort.

The moment he saw the Seventh Prince, Cao Yong couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

He lay motionless on the kang, his face was pale, his teeth were closed, but half of his skin was wiped off from his forehead, which looked very terrifying. Not only that, half of his pants had been soaked in blood.

An imperial physician took scissors and cut open the seventh prince's trouser legs. The knees were covered in blood and blood, making people unable to bear to look at each other.

The Seventh Concubine and the Side Concubine Nala were taking care of each other in the house. Because Cao Yong was a son-in-law, the two brothers-in-law were far apart and there were not so many taboos.

Seeing the seventh prince's appearance of not knowing his life and death, Nala had wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and the seventh concubine's eyes were red.

After the Imperial Doctor bandaged the Seventh Prince's wound, he carefully examined the pulse and retreated to the outside room. The Sixteenth Prince couldn't wait: "Doctor Lin, how is the Seventh Prince's injury?"

Doctor Lin's expression was a little heavy, and he said, "Sixteenth Master, the prince's pulse is unstable... It's very dangerous..."

Cao Yong was pale when he heard this.

The Seventh Prince has always been cautious. Even if he wants to use a "hard trick", he will not do anything like bribing the imperial physician to give him a handle. After all, deceiving the king is a serious crime, and as a prince, he must be even more afraid.

This is really worrying that the imperial physician can tell the danger.

In fact, he was worried too much. In addition to the injuries, there were also drugs that could disrupt the pulse. However, Cao Yong was not proficient in medical skills, so he didn't expect that he would be so worried.

The Seventh Concubine and the Side Concubine were both shaky after hearing what Doctor Lin said.

At this moment, the three little princes Hongzhuo, Hongxin and Hongjing also rushed over. Seeing that everyone in the room were solemn and sad, they were also worried.

Although Cao Yong was unable to treat the Seventh Prince in his early thirties as an elder when he first got married, he has received a lot of care from his father-in-law for more than ten years, and Cao Yong is not a stern heart.

Now, seeing that the Seventh Prince is seriously injured, how can Cao Yong feel at ease?

Even if the Hongshu brothers cannot receive the title, the Seventh Prince has other sons, and the palace is left untouched by outsiders.

Cao Yong was concerned about Hongshu because of his brother-in-law's affection, and more importantly, it was to prevent the children from losing their mother's protection.

It was useless to say that the people around him were there, so I could only wait for the Seventh Prince to get better.

However, it is impossible to let the Seventh Prince suffer this in vain. The Sixteenth Prince is about to report to Changchun Garden that this involves the safety of a prince and a prince, and the Sixteenth Prince dare not hide it.

Cao Yong asked Hongzhuo and the others to take care of the Seventh Prince and send him out.

"Okay, why did you 'smack' the horse? Brother Qi has always been honest and it's really annoying to encounter this!" The Sixteenth Prince gritted his teeth and said, "When I report back to the emperor, I must check it out clearly and seek justice for Brother Qi."

"Sixteenth Master..." Cao Yong was unwilling to lie to the Sixteenth Prince, but there was no way. After all, he was not allowed to summon him. He could not see Kangxi, so he could only ask the Sixteenth Prince to pass the message and said in a hoarse voice: "If father-in-law... Hongshu is still in the northwest..."

The Sixteenth Prince nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Seven is like this, there must be someone in charge of the overall situation in the palace. Hongzhuo is in his twenties and is still irritable."

The Sixteenth Prince took his entourage and rode out of the city.

Cao Yong turned back to the palace, and Hongzhuo was walking over with a gloomy face, wanting to check it out of the Mafang.

Among the powerful people in the capital, falling off a horse and dying is not a rare way to die.

Cao Yong was also afraid that this "falling horse" would be found to be "strange" and went with Hongzhuo.

The groom Chen De had already been tied up by the prince's general manager after the seventh prince fell off his horse. When Cao Yong and the others came over, Chen De was sitting at the foot of the wall, hanging his head and motionless.

The pedestal that caused the Seventh Prince to have an accident was a red horse from the Royal Horse Garden. Not only did he say that, his fur was like brocade, and it was shiny and looked great.

Even half-baked guys like Cao Yong don’t know how to look at him. Every time he sees his father-in-law’s riding horse, he can’t help but take a few more glances.

This red horse is the favorite of the Seventh Prince. Not to mention anything else, just like this feed, it is all soybeans and eggs that are mixed with soybeans.

In the early years, there was also a censor who "excessive" to impeach the Seventh Prince. Perhaps because of his leg disease, Kangxi was very tolerant of the Seventh Prince, and the impeachment was incomplete.

It is such a handsome horse, but it looks bad now. There are blood stains on its back, and the horse has lost its usual calmness and constantly digging the ground with its hooves.

Seeing that the horse was not right, Hongzhuo wanted to check it up, but was stopped by the butler: "Second Prince, you must not be close to it. The horse and horse were injured on the back, which was very violent."

"The horse's back is injured?" Hongzhuo stared at his eyes and shouted, "What's going on?"

The butler looked sad and angry, pointing at Chen Dedao who was tied up on the side: "It's all those conscience-lost things, and they tampered in the master's saddle."

It turns out that although this groom Chen De is a good horse raising player, he is a gambling person.

Because of his addiction to gambling, he even sold his wife and children a few days ago. After the Seventh Prince found out, he scolded him and redeemed his wife and children, which was a great kindness. He didn't expect that Chen De became crazy and wanted to murder the prince.

Since Hongzhuo saw his father's serious injury, he felt a little angry in his stomach. After hearing the butler's words,

He ran forward with his eyebrows and eyes, and kicked it on the groom, shouting, "Die slave, how dare you kill Ama... I'm going to cut you alive..."

Chen De had his head drooped and was piled up in the corner of the wall. After being kicked, his body tilted to one side and fell heavily on the bluestone slab.

"Huh?" Cao Yong found something wrong, so he hurriedly grabbed Hongzhuo and said, "Wait!"

"What are you waiting for? Such a slave will make people feel bored if he lives for a long time!" Hongzhuo said angrily.

Looking at the groom's face that fell to the ground, bleeding from his seven orifices, Cao Yong said: "No need to cut, the person is dead..."

In Changchun Garden, Qingxi Bookstore.

In addition to several Grand Secretary, Third Prince and Fourth Prince, two ministers of the Ministry of Revenue are also here. Today, the imperial predecessor discusses the war in the Northwest, which is the relief of Mongolian ministries.

The Ministry of Revenue did not have any extra money. After years of drought, the rivers on the grasslands dropped sharply, and I couldn't learn from them a few years ago. I asked Lifanyuan to arrange people to teach Mongolians to fish.

However, since the Mongolians asked for the court, the court was not easy to watch, so Kangxi invited people to discuss the matter.

After all, it is hard to cook without rice.

If the Ministry of Revenue has a more abundant silver treasury and rewards some silver to those Mongolian princes and princes, they can comfort them. It is just to win people's hearts and make them honest. As for the life and death of Mongolian herders, the court would not care about it.

In recent years, the imperial court under the banner of "reusing" the Mongols. Whenever there is a war, it will recruit a large number of troops from Mongolia and arrange it to the forefront of the war, which is just a disguised "reducing policy".

I heard that the matter of Mongolia’s little grain was discussed, and a person appeared in front of the Fourth Prince. He was either someone else, or Cao Yong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

During those years, Cao Yongdingyou did not do anything else, so he paid attention to serving the crops. For this reason, the Fourth Prince was quite concerned about potatoes and corn, two rare low-quality things that are rare in wealthy families.

When the fourth prince was really shocked when he learned that the per mu of potatoes reached more than 1,000 kilograms, the land was even more than 2,000 kilograms.

You should know that at this time, the yield per mu of high-quality fertile land is only two stones, three stones of grain, more than three hundred kilograms. Potatoes do not pick the land, and the yield is several times that of other grains.

Starting from a few years ago, potatoes and corn were tried in Henan Prefecture, and in the next three years, Henan Prefecture never asked for relief from the imperial court.

You should know that the Henan Prefecture has many mountains and hills, poor land, and the lives of the people have always been miserable. In ten years, seven years have been needed to provide relief to the court.

If the Mongolians don’t have to worry about food, the population will be in trouble...

In addition to being a minister, the Fourth Prince is also a descendant of the Aisin Gioro family. In addition to the people's livelihood, he will not forget the country and the country.

Therefore, instead of speaking in front of the Grand Secretary and the two Shangshu, he thought of reporting alone, listening to the emperor's father's intentions, and then talking about this matter.

Obviously, the news of the incident in the Seventh Prince has not yet reached the imperial court.

When he heard Wei Zhu report that the Sixteenth Prince asked for a meeting, Kangxi thought he was talking about the journey to the saint tomorrow, so he nodded and called Xuan.

The best imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital are all on duty in Changchun Garden. The sixteenth prince was still thinking of asking for an order to send the imperial physician over there. He was afraid that he would close the city gate, so he rode his horse and ran away after leaving the city.

After entering the garden, he also walked quickly.

When he arrived in front of the imperial court, he was still breathing heavily and his face turned red. Although he was anxious, he did not forget his sense of duty. He looked at several Grand Secretary and Shangshu's eyes and knelt down and said, "Emperor, I have an urgent matter to report!"

Seeing that he was exhausted and sweating on his forehead, Kangxi felt that his heart was "raised". The first thing he thought of was that something had happened in Xian'an Palace.

Or, mutiny?

It is not a rare thing for the prince to force the palace in all dynasties.

He drooped his face and said to several Grand Secretary and Shangshu: "Kneel down and rest!"

As for the third prince and the fourth prince, he did not send him away. If something really happened, these two sons in the chief department would not leave the situation, otherwise who would know what happened?

He is really a little bit full of plants and trees.

But I didn't think about it. These princes asked him to repair it. There were a few who were still expected to launch a mutiny in the important areas of Gyeonggi.

Seeing the court officials retreat, the sixteenth prince walked a few steps and choked and said, "Emperor, Brother Seven fell off his horse, it doesn't look good... I also asked Emperor Ama to give the imperial doctor a grace... Hongshu, I'm afraid he would have to return to Beijing quickly to... be more stable..."

Although he was not from the same mother, because of Cao Yong's relationship, the Sixteenth Prince has been close to the Seventh Prince over the years.

Now that I think of the royal family who died of severely injured due to falling off a horse, there are many previous cases, and the Sixteenth Prince is also worried.

After hearing the first sentence, Kangxi just frowned; at the end of the attack, his body trembled and his arms held the kang pillow hard.

The third prince and the fourth prince also changed their faces.

No matter what the relationship between brothers is, if they are normal birth, old age, sickness and death, they are just a sigh of emotion. However, there is the word "falling a horse", and there is a lot of room for play. Whoever knows who will touch someone will not make the two frightened...
