Chapter 957: Pulling

When the 10th Prince pleaded for Cao Yong, the 9th Prince felt very upset.

Speaking of which, after dealing with Cao Yong several times over the years, the Ninth Prince has really not taken any advantage. If he is a petty person, he would have been with Cao Yong for a long time.

Taking into account the background of the Cao family and then causing the mystery of Li's life experience, the Ninth Prince endured this tone.

After all, he is the prince and the pride of heaven. He can't be said to be straitor in the capital, and it's almost the same. He went to Cao Yong and kicked the iron plate. He was always thinking about making up for it.

In the past two years, he has made a fortune from foreign countries and his life is quite comfortable. The reason why he opened the "Guixiang Village" was just to make things difficult for Cao Yong.

Now, it’s just a prank, and it’s not going to be as expected. It’s already irritable enough. Now, hearing the tenth prince’s “hard-hearted” words, the ninth prince couldn’t see through his face and changed his face: “Hmph, just introducing a gangster, and the tenth brother was bribed by Cao Yong?”

"Brother Ninth, don't do the work of Doctor Fang... My brother has gone. Brother Ninth has done his job, so he has to think about the future..." The tenth prince grew up with him and had the best relationship, so he would not be upset by his words.

The Tenth Prince is usually reckless and irritable, but he is "arrogant" when he is young. After following the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince are together, he takes the Eighth Prince as the center and the Ninth Prince as his brain, and rarely talks too much.

Now, when the Ninth Prince was surprised when he heard him say such steady words.

He raised his head and looked at Prince Ten, looking at his thin and old face, and his gray beard, Prince Ninth felt his eyes hot.

Yes, my starling is dead, my tenth brother has been tortured by a stubborn disease for more than ten years and is already old.

No matter how happy I was, the rest was deserted.

Seeing him feeling sad and crying, the tenth prince hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Brother Ninth... On the side of the 14th brother, Brother Ninth should get out as soon as possible..."

When the Ninth Prince heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you saying? The Ten Pavilions have already left Jiuting, why should you turn back? I am still counting on making a contribution to support the sky and giving me some money to make a future."

The tenth prince looked disapproving and asked, "So what if he got a real power prince? He is still the emperor's slave. At that time, he will be exhausted and work hard to work as a servant in the six ministries, and he will still have to worry about being cold at high places. What's the point?"

When the Ninth Prince heard this, he was a little stunned.

He was not a diligent person, and in addition to being interested in business and making money, he always ignored major affairs in the court. When the Eighth Prince was in his early years, he forced himself to work in the six ministries in order to make great achievements. After the Eighth Prince disappeared, although he turned to support the Fourteenth Prince, he was just working hard on money so that he would not let himself worry.

In his early years, he supported the Fourteenth Prince but was just annoyed. He didn't know whether he wanted to praise the Fourteenth Prince and let him suffer a crushing defeat; or use the Fourteenth Prince as a knife to deal with those brothers who had fought for the throne with the Eighth Prince.

Before he knew it, all these years have become habits, making him forget his original intention.

"More than one million taels of silver have been spent. Do I want to lose money business?" he whispered.

The tenth prince said: "I advised Brother Jiu two years ago, but Brother Jiu just didn't listen."

If you want to talk about what the Ninth Prince loves the most, it is definitely a yellow and white thing. It’s more than one million taels. The Ninth Prince touched his forehead, why was he so generous before?

"This Western Expedition cannot be said to be a crushing defeat, but it is not very rewarding... Although the fourteenth brother was not revealed in the end, it was already a loss..." The tenth prince was not a talkative person, but he really did not want to have the best brother he had, because of the battle of intentions and was in danger.

The ninth prince narrowed his eyes and said, "Just because of Xiao Hongli's entry into the palace, the tenth brother thought that whoever had a chance of winning? The emperor taught the emperor's grandson, Hongli was not the first one. With Hongxi and Hongming in front, why don't you let go? I think the third brother has a lot of chance of winning. The emperor asked him to entertain the Mongolian kings on behalf of the heavens. Hongsheng transferred to the Ministry of Personnel a few days ago. Now he is the first person among the emperor's grandsons, which is more decent than Hongxi and Hongming."

The tenth prince sighed and said, "Whether it is the third or fourth brother, it will not be the fourteenth brother. If the emperor had the intention to let him take over the throne, he would not be allowed to stay away from the center of the court. It was just that the king had not yet been granted a king. A few days ago, the Ministry of Personnel reported the list of people who had meritorious. If the emperor really recognized him, he would take the opportunity to be granted a king. In recent years, there have been many memorials for him to ask for merit, and the emperor has suppressed it. It can be seen that... the emperor was disappointed with him... Even if he had the intention to make him a throne in his early years, he would probably have dispersed almost..."

After hearing the Tenth Prince finished speaking in one breath, the Ninth Prince seemed to look at him with admiration.

In fact, there is another saying that the Tenth Prince didn't say it. He was afraid that he would cause the Ninth Prince to be furious. That is, that boy Cao Yong was "cowardly". He has been in Beijing for more than ten years and has always been seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

However, among the many princes' mansions, except for the father-in-law's family, Cao Yong's only two closest are the Fourth Prince's Mansion and the Thirteenth Prince's Mansion.

Whether it was the prince who was in power in his early years, the eighth prince who occupied the "virtuous" and the third prince who occupied the "elephant", Cao Yong always avoided it, for fear of any involvement.

As the close minister of the Cao family, it makes sense to avoid the establishment of a crown prince. But how could Cao Yong like this "treat life" to the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince who were also involved in the battle for the throne just by relying on his "life-saving grace" when he was young?

Human nature is evil, and the tenth prince has never rejected speculating on people's hearts with the greatest malice.

Cao Yong was not yet thirty years old, and when the Beijing was in a turmoil, he was not yet as young as the crown.

When outsiders mention Cao Yong, they always praise "Tea Boy" and "Shancai Boy", but the tenth prince doesn't believe in these divine words.

You should know that the Cao family's previous head was not someone else, but Cao Yin, who grew up in front of the emperor since childhood and was relied on as the emperor's confidant.

The master of the Cao family, without military merit, was granted the title of second-class nephew, and he was not only married to Li.

Two generations of the Cao family took charge of Jiangnan for 50 years. In the weaving and responsibilities of writing, editing books, appeased the court, and made good friends with Jiangnan scholars. It can be said that their contribution lies in the country.

Later, the Cao family was not greedy for wealth in the south of the Yangtze River, and went to the capital to avoid the disaster. Cao Yin and Cao Zhizao were always a smart person.

What is such a smart person who acquiesced his son to make friends with the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince?

When a person is in a high position, he has no choice but to do so.

What the Cao family does is actually no different from the Ninth Prince, but they are just acting more concealedly.

It not only pleases the Fourth Prince, but will not make other princes obsessed, nor will it be called "forming cliques" and "taking a team". This "life-saving grace" sign works.

The Tenth Prince's "suspended illness" gradually recovered, and he could calm down and think about these things. He didn't want to jump out of the game, which was a glimpse.

"If the Fourteenth really loses, my million taels of silver will be wasted..." The Ninth Prince paused his feet and felt pain.

The tenth prince knew his brother's love for money, so he rolled his eyes and refused to answer his words.

Who doesn't know that the Ninth Prince has swallowed up the industry of Nalan Mansion in the past two years and occupied a million yuan of wealth of his son-in-law. Even his close relatives are far behind, so he will not let his money waste for the 14th Prince. In recent years, although he has funded the 14th Prince, he has also made a lot of money from military supplies.

The Ninth Prince stretched out his fat slap, made a snatching gesture, and said to himself, "No, I always have to find a way to get some back, it can't be cheaper for Lao Si..." At this point, he showed a little bit of a sinister smile and said, "I have been fucking him for years, but I can't be cheaper for this kid. Even if he loses, he will be defeated and never be able to turn over. I will send someone to Xining to Xining tomorrow and add a charge to him first."

The tenth prince knew that because the starling died sadly, his ninth brother was always in a state of anger.

He changed his temper and talked so much, because he was afraid that the Ninth Brother would spoil the wrong person and cause trouble; he led to the Fourteenth Prince. It was much safer to beat the dog in the water than to pluck the hair from a tiger's mouth. Although it was a bit unkind, the Fourteenth Prince could not be said to be completely innocent.

*

Cao Yong didn't know that because of the tenth prince's persuasion, he was spared from the ninth prince's difficulties.

He was busy calculating money and grain. This year, the provinces in Fujian and Guangdong have been flooding for a century. Now the imperial court is transferring grain to the south. However, the drought in the Central Plains and the Northwest region continued until June, causing a large number of crops to reduce yields and even lose harvests.

This year was a year of uneasy. There was an earthquake in Gansu and a tsunami in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In the royal garden, two halls were burned down by heavenly fire.

China has a vast land and a wealth of resources. Every year, natural disasters are here, and man-made disasters are not uncommon.

Cao Yong could no longer be honest about himself as an atheist, so when these natural disasters came, he was frightened and wondered what Kangxi would do at this time.

Emperors, generals and ministers claim to be stars in the sky and descend to earth, and are paying more and more attention to "God's warning" and other things. Otherwise, why do they like auspiciousness and avoid disasters? When they are fooling the people, they also deceive themselves.

As the second half of the year entered, the countdown was also made before the death of Kangxi.

The 14th Prince is not in Beijing, and the third prince rarely contacts the Ministry of War and the Eight Banners soldiers. He is stationed in Beijing and the Eight Banners Commander. He has replaced many people over the years. Those with seniority and high titles are mostly transferred to the local area.

Over the past few years, the governors and deputy governors stationed in Beijing, who were almost replaced. Even if they were not Kangxi's confidants, they would not cause much storm.

All these are just to weaken the control of the Eight Banners' command over the military and to ensure the stability of the capital.

Cao Yong did everything he could and should do, and now he was just waiting for the emperor to replace him.

Thinking of this, he calmed down.

In addition, Wei Hei wrote again, mentioning that Shi Shilun was getting better and he could recover after two months of conditioning, which also made Cao Yong feel much better.

Kangxi had appointed a new candidate for the Governor of the Canal Transportation. Although Shi Shilun was very honest, he was still old. After his injuries were healed, if nothing unexpected happened, the old man should be transferred to Beijing as a government official or into the cabinet.

Cao Yong also had some expectations for being an official in the same dynasty as such a famous official who was famous for his later generations.

Life is just right, and something big happened.

Nian Gengyao, the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi, began to sue again.

If you want to talk about this man, the word "arrogance" is clearly visible to him. He was obviously "crossing the river", but he was not aware of it at all. Last time, he sued the former chief officer and subordinate of the Shaanxi Governor's Office and the General Office, and involved all officials from all over Shaanxi, which caused a lot of controversy. In the end, the court just dealt with a few small fish and shrimps.

This time, Uncle Nian pointed at the officers and soldiers entering Tibet again.

One sentence: "The Gong Ce Wangpiao Astronomy is exhausted.

You must know that this is the time when the Ministry of Personnel discusses its merits.

Although these officers and soldiers who entered Tibet did not really compete with the Junggar soldiers, they could not escape the merits of "receiving soil". These chief officials who led the troops could not be said to have been promoted to three levels in a row, but they could have made military achievements and had a great future.

Nian Gengyao made a memorial statement and turned all these "meritorious ministers" into "people who are willing to be guilty."

Such courage makes Cao Yong admire him a little.

Cao Yong was a little suspicious. In the future, the fourth prince would not be able to tolerate Nian Gengyao. Is it because this guy loves offending people too much?

The impeached one was the Duke and the governor, and they all had some power background, so how could they wait for death?

When Nian Gengyao impeached others, the memorial to impeach him was also sent to the imperial court. Nian Gengyao listened to the fabricated words of the Lama and the prefect, obstructed and slandered the generals and officials, and reported to withdraw troops without permission.

This lawsuit will always come to an end.

Except for the general Cewang Nolbu, the chief general stationed in Tibet, all the officials impeached by Nian Gengyao and the lamas and prefect mentioned in the impeachment memorial were resigned and returned to Beijing to be tried.

In this way, both sides treated the positive and negative equally. In fact, it was a bargaining Nian Gengyao. Because these people were empty, except for Kangxi assigning a few, the other Kangxi ordered the governor Nian Gengyao to recommend it.

I think that the famous "year selection" in the novels of later generations was the first to be found at this time.

You should know that in recent years, Kangxi has been more cautious about the governors and governors due to his old age and physical weakness. Several governors and governors were finally dismissed and questioned, and the blame was aggravated due to "recommendation" and "filling the gap".

Now, Kangxi, under the will of Mingfa, gave Nian Gengyao the power to "recommend" people, which is a great honor.

Nian Gengyao has won the battle before the battle started.

Cao Yong could only sigh a few times when he thought of the versatile old man.

By the end of July, the Imperial Heaven Supervision decided on the day of the siege.

Hang Seng was very happy and now he was looking forward to seeing this big scene. These days, he rode his horse to the Rehe Palace to study with him every day, and occasionally he followed several young princes to run horses on the grassland outside the palace. His equestrian skills were much more exquisite. His riding and shooting skills were more accurate than in the past.

Before this, Cao Yong was worried that the situation of the campaign this year would be ruined.

During the shift of the Ministry of Revenue, Cao Yong had met Kangxi twice. For a while, he could not tell whether his complexion was good or bad. The 69-year-old man was in his twilight years, and even if he was in good spirits, he could not hide his old age.

There was even a decay in Kangxi's house, which was the smell of life being about to pass away.
