Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1009 Dismiss Grandson ([-])

In the west at sunset, the red glow fades.

Cao Mansion, the living room.

Because the hall was spacious and cold, Sun Wenqian sat on a chair, but his forehead was covered with sweat.He went to the House of Internal Affairs in the afternoon, looking for acquaintances, and wanted to inquire about his brother's dismissal, but the more he inquired, the more frightened he became.

The candidate for the new Hangzhou weaving has been decided.

Sun Wenqian didn't know why there was such an accident. Although the fabric was soaked in water, it was dereliction of duty, but it happened in the early years, and it was not a major fault.

Besides, the fabrics transported to the capital are all ships of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the boatmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they are all cooked. Even if a shipment of goods is soaked, the quantity is limited.

In addition, his nephew, not only met a female bachelor, but also went to Shuntian Mansion Prison.

Sun Wenqian felt that the Sun family's bad luck continued, which made people panic and uneasy.

The members of the Sun family in the capital are all distant branches, and the only person Sun Wenqian could think of to help was the Cao family.

Sun Jue didn't come with him, and after being picked up from the yamen, he couldn't stand it anymore.Although he is not a son of a wealthy family, he is also a pampered person who has never suffered.After staying in the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion for several days, the fright and pain he experienced could not be explained clearly in one sentence, which made him send half his life in.

Cao Yong didn't know that there was a guest at home. After coming out from the Yamen of the Ministry of Households in advance, he went to Huangsi with several officials from the Sixth Ministry.

The living Buddha of Outer Mongolia, Zebzundamba Hutuktu, passed away the day before yesterday.

The emperor came in person yesterday, and today all the officials hang sacrifices.

In addition to being a Living Buddha of the Yellow Sect, the Great Lama is also the son of the late Khan King of Khalkha, the brother of the late Khan King Tuxietu, and the tallest elder among the Mongolian royal family in Khalkha.

Although the Great Lama passed away in the capital, his shrine was to be transported back to Khalkha.In this way, it is necessary to set off while the weather is not getting warmer.

Zhiran, who is the great disciple of the Great Lama, will return to Khalkha accordingly.

Therefore, in addition to walking through the scene with everyone, Cao Yong also met Zhiran in private.

"Since the Great Lama has passed away, he will start looking for a new living Buddha reincarnation. At that time, your status as a senior disciple will be embarrassing. Do you have any other plans?" Cao Yong asked.

Although Zhiran has the canonization of the imperial court, he is not a Mongolian.Khalkha belongs to the territory of the Qing Dynasty in name, but in fact it is indeed the world of the Mongols.

Following the great lama, Zhiran can still learn some profound meanings of Buddhism; the great lama has passed away, so there is really no need for him to bind himself in Khalkha.

Zhiran looked calm, and said lightly: "Yesterday, the emperor summoned the little monk!"

Cao Yong raised his eyebrows. Yongzheng was an out-and-out emperor even though he believed in Buddhism.Summoning Zhiran at this time is certainly not for exchanging Buddhism.

Cao Yong only felt that his heart was heavy. Zhiran was originally outside the five elements, but he was pinched by Kangxi, and there was nothing but the Cao family who could restrain him.He really didn't want to let Yongzheng continue to make decisions about Zhiran.

Zhiran seemed to see Cao Yong's worry, and smiled slightly.

He was already good looking, but now that he has lost his youthful air, he is still a young and handsome monk.This smile, with crooked eyebrows and eyes, vaguely carried a bit of Cao Yin's shadow.

Seeing this, Cao Yong was slightly taken aback,
"Don't worry, he ordered the little monk to take care of the matter of finding the reincarnated soul boy of the great lama. When he finds it, the little monk will naturally return to Beijing." Zhiran said with a smile.

Seeing that he said it easily, Cao Yong shook his head and said, "Where is it so cheap? Counting from the time when the great lama passed away, a few years are considered few. If the search is slow, there will be more than ten years."

Zhiran said: "It won't be that long. Even if the court can wait, Khalkha can't wait. Now the news of the great lama's passing away has not been transmitted. When it is transmitted, someone will naturally find the soul boy."

If it was really that simple, why did Yongzheng pay special attention to this matter?
Because the Mongols are religious, Hutuktu is above the kings in Khalkha.The reincarnated soul boy in his infancy has a lot of knowledge to do here.

On Yongzheng's side, for the sake of the stability of Khalkha, he definitely does not want the reincarnated soul boy of the Great Lama to appear in several khan palaces in Khalkha.In that case, using the soul boy as a signboard, the prince of Khalkha behind him unified Khalkha in disguise.

It is true that the imperial court used Khalkha as a barrier for foreign vassals, but a unified Khalkha is like a wolf lying on the couch, how can people feel at ease.

As the great disciple of the Great Lama, Zhiran intervened in the matter of finding the reincarnated soul boy, which was justified, but if he obeyed his brother's love and lost his sister-in-law's will, if he stood in the court's position, he would become the public enemy of the Khalkha kings.

At that time, his little life may be sacrificed to the ambitions of the Khalkha kings.

"The mantis is like a chariot, and the egg is hitting the rock!" Cao Yong said in a deep voice, "Since you know the ambitions of the Khalkha kings, you still don't get out, what is this?"

Seeing his unkind expression, Zhi Ran was silent for a while, and said: "Since it is difficult, it will be even more difficult to get things done if it is someone else. It is just a stinky skin, don't take it to heart, Master Cao."

Although Zhiran can detect life and death, Cao Yong can't watch him die.

He frowned and said, "Since we haven't left the capital, we can make another plan...Since the kings of Khalkha are eyeing the position of the soul boy, they must have been prepared for a long time. No matter when the great lama passes away, they want to find a birth date. It is not difficult to imitate the child every year... If you want to prevent the kings of Khalkha from controlling the soul boy, there is only one way..." At this point, he paused, and said: "That is to let the reincarnation be announced in the name of the court. The soul boy is not found in Khalkha..."

Zhiran's eyes lit up when he heard the words.

The descendants of Genghis Khan spread throughout northern Xinjiang. In addition to Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, there are also Mongols in Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Tibet...

Cao Yong used this leisurely mind, just taking into account Zhiran's safety.He didn't know that because of his words, he determined the method of finding the reincarnated soul boy of Hutuktu living Buddha in Khalkha, which made the religion and local government in the Khalkha area confront each other for many years, and they still couldn't integrate into one.

After 200 years, when the reincarnated Hutuktu colluded with the local palace, the first thing he did was to break away from the central government and proclaim himself an emperor.This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

It is said that when Cao Yong returned to the mansion from Huangsi, it was already dark.

Sun Wenqian lost his patience waiting in the living room. If the Cao family hadn't been what it used to be, and the Sun family could not match him, he would have roared twice and asked the Cao family how they treat guests.

In fact, the Cao family did not neglect him, the housekeeper Cao Yuan was always with the guests.

The tea in this teacup was changed three times. Sun Wenqian waited until his eyes were straightened before he saw Cao Yong's shadow.

Hearing that Sun Wenqian had waited for nearly two hours, Cao Yong was also a little embarrassed.

Although he didn't like Sun Jue, he still had a good impression of Sun Wenqian.Compared with Sun Wencheng's hypocrisy and Sun Jue's shamelessness, Sun Wenqian always convinces people with reason, and he is a sensible person of the Sun family.

In addition, he is the nephew of the late Sun Taijun, and Cao Yong is willing to respect him three points based on these two.

"I asked my fourth cousin to wait for a long time, and my nephew is here to accuse me. My fourth uncle came to Beijing, but he didn't write a letter to say anything. I should be my nephew to pay my respects." Cao Yong said.

Although Sun Wenqian was irritated by waiting, seeing that Cao Yong came here wearing men's clothes, and his attitude was so warm, the irritability disappeared immediately.

He stood up and said with a bit of shame: "Nephew Fu Ruo, now the Sun family is in a precarious state, so I have no choice but to face the door with shame." Then, he solemnly thanked Cao Yong.

Although Sun Jue was "bailed" by him, he also heard from Sun Jue that Cao Yong sent someone to the Yamen to say hello, which made him feel better these few days.Therefore, Sun Wenqian still accepted the Cao family's affection very much.

Cao Yong listened, laughed cheekily a few times, and said a few words of humility in his mouth.

He said he was saying hello, he was really saying hello, he didn't ask Cao Yuan to walk around the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.

The reason why Sun Jue lived in a single room these days and didn't suffer any more was because of the arrangement of Shuntian Mansion Yin Chen Shouchuang.

Sun Wenqian didn't talk too much, and directly talked about Sun Wencheng.

Now, the Sun family can only beg the Cao family.Sun Wenqian was very worried, afraid that his elder brother would inadvertently offend someone who shouldn't be offended.The Sun family has no influence in the court, and its foundation is too weak.

"No matter what, I'd like to ask my uncle to go back to Beijing first." Seeing him talking about serious things, Cao Yong put away his smile and said seriously.

Now, what Cao Yong can pray for is that Sun Wencheng is the same, and less greedy for money.

After hearing this, Sun Wenqian did not give up, and said hesitantly: "Brother has been in Hangzhou weaving for nearly 20 years, and he has worked hard without credit..."

The same is weaving, needless to say, the Cao family, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven; the Li family is slightly inferior, but Li Xu has held the salt administration for more than ten years, and has the title of servant of the household department; only Sun Wencheng, who has worked hard for 20 years, is only a fifth-rank doctor. .

Seeing that he couldn't think about it, Cao Yong sighed and said: "One emperor, one courtier, fourth cousin, don't you understand that? Even if the eldest cousin is not at fault, it is wrong to have served for a long time and occupy a place."

When Sun Wenqian heard the words, his face immediately changed, and he murmured: "In this way, the Li family also..."

Cao Yong nodded and said: "Not only the Li family, but also the Jiangning weaving Lu family, it has been in office for more than ten years..."

Sun Wenqian's face gradually calmed down, but his heart became more at ease.

Seeing that "misfortunes never come singly" of the Sun family, he thought that the Sun family was being plotted against; now knowing that the three major weaving companies in the south of the Yangtze River will be replaced, he is a little less worried.

"So that's the case. Fortunately, Fu Ruo pointed out the maze, otherwise I would be like a chicken without a head, and I don't know what to do." Sun Wenqian said with a sigh of relief.

Both the old and the new have to be replaced, and the old accounts of Zhizao Mansion must be checked. Looking at Sun Jue's early expenses, Sun Wencheng really does not look like a greedy person.But the real situation or not, Cao Yong can not be sure.

"A few days ago, the censor impeached the elder cousin because of the matter of the elder cousin. Now that the fourth cousin is in Beijing, it is best to move around less, so as to save people from scheming." Cao Yong thought for a while and said.

Before knowing the last crime of the Sun family, Cao Yong was unwilling to take risks and involved the Cao family.

After hearing this, Sun Wenqian hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Today when he came to Cao's mansion, apart from looking for Cao Yong to ask about Sun Wencheng's dismissal, he had one more thing to say: "Fu Ruo, your brother-in-law's situation is not very good, let alone his injuries, and he also suffered from a cold, so I'm afraid he will suffer from illness." Take care of yourself for a while... People come and go in the inn, it's really not a place to recuperate. Look, can you tell your elder sister to ask your brother-in-law to go back to the house to recuperate..."

Although Cao Ying's dowry money was used in the Sun family's house, it was a new house after the Sun family's old house was sold.

Although it is said that after the "husband and wife live apart", the house was allocated to Cao Ying's mother and son, but when Sun Wencheng and his family moved to Beijing, they still had to return to Sun's house to resettle.

Therefore, Cao Yong said very happily: "The elder sister is the most virtuous, and she knows the difficulties of the fourth cousin, so she must agree. Besides, not only the eldest cousin, but also the cousin is not good to live in the inn all the time. It is too late today. Tomorrow, I will send someone to Haidian to tell my eldest sister the news of my fourth cousin coming to Beijing. If my eldest cousin comes to Beijing, we must make preparations in advance."

Sun Wenqian listened and thanked again and again.

Cao Yong said a few more words with him, and Sun Wenqian saw that it was getting late, so he got up and said goodbye.

The next day, Cao Ying received the news from Cao Yong and returned to the city with a pair of children.

Regardless of the relationship between husband and wife, the relationship between father and son is a bond of flesh and blood.Since Sun Jue was sick, Sun Li, as a son of man, served as a bedside attendant.

Seeing that Cao Ying is so virtuous, Sun Wenqian can only sigh.He had an idea in his mind, if he used this to reunite his elder nephew and his nephew's wife, it would be a good thing for the Sun family.

Although the Sun family and the Cao family are related, Sun Taijun has passed away for many years and is now the third generation of the Cao family.If the relationship between Cao Ying and Sun Jue is not harmonious, it will also affect the relationship between Cao Ying and Sun Jue.

On Sun Li's face, he was very submissive, he obeyed his mother's arrangement, and served medicine in front of Sun Jue's bed sooner or later, very much like a filial son.It's just that when there was no one there, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Sun Jue on the bed, without any warmth in his eyes.

In the end, it was Sun Wenqian who persuaded Sun Li to study because he thought that Sun Li was going to take an exam, so he refused to give him any more medicine.He also wanted to use this to let Cao Ying take care of Sun Jue.

For the sake of her son's reputation, Cao Ying can arrange for her son to "be filial", but she can't act as a "virtuous wife" as if nothing happened.Therefore, she arranged for Mrs. Liang to take care of Sun Jue.

The Liang family was originally about the same age as Cao Ying. Although they were concubines, they didn't worry as much as Cao Ying, and they were a few years younger than their actual age.

When Sun Jue saw her, thinking of her meekness in the past, he actually fell in love with her and entangled her hands and feet.

Although Mrs. Liang recognized him as her husband, she knew in her heart that he was not reliable, and that she had to rely on Cao Ying.Therefore, she offered half a day's medicine and refused to enter Sun Jue's room again.

Seeing her like this, Cao Ying persuaded her a few words, but in the end it was not good to force her, and arranged another maid who was usually a little frivolous and always loved to hang out in front of Sun Li to look after Sun Jue.

Sun Jue couldn't see Mrs. Liang, so he had to complain a few words in front of Sun Wenqian, saying that Cao Ying was soaked in vinegar sauce and refused to tolerate others.

Sun Wenqian asked him to say a few words, and Sun Jue was still a little unhappy.

In Sun Wenqian's heart, he wished that Cao Ying would be jealous.Unexpectedly, Sun Jue was not idle, and asked the maid who served medicine to serve the pillow mat that night.

After Cao Ying heard the mother-in-law's report the next day, she turned the maid's face away and promoted her to be a housekeeper.

When Sun Jue saw this, he thought Cao Ying was very proud of not daring to disobey him; after Sun Wenqian heard about this, he became a little worried.

Just when Cao Ying was thinking about where she should settle in the future, Cao Yong finally waited for news from Hangzhou.

Sun Wencheng has already set off from Hangzhou, and his family is heading north...

*
Prince Zhuang's Mansion, inner hall.

Apart from Prince Zhuang Fujin, only Emperor Yongzheng and the imperial eunuch Chen Fu were in the room.

Today is the "first seven" of Prince Zhuang Boguoduo, and Emperor Yongzheng came to offer sacrifices in person.

After worshiping in front of the spirit, Yongzheng summoned Prince Zhuang Fujin in the inner hall...

Tears ran, begging for a monthly ticket in a low voice.
