Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1017 Jinjue

The Sun family didn't seem to be in any crisis. The Li family's property in the capital had already been sealed off.

The situation was so bad that even Li Wei, Li Xu's sixth younger brother, was detained for several days and asked for a statement.Knowing that their brothers had been separated for many years and that Li Wei had never worked in Suzhou Weaving Mansion, he was released.

Li Wei was so bluffed that he didn't dare to come out and jump around, and even let the matter of filling the vacancies go.

All of this is hidden from Gao Shi.

Gao ate fasting and recited Buddha all day long, and did not do ordinary work, and he did not notice any difference.I just chatted with Mrs. Li occasionally, and the only one who was worried was my great-nephew Li Cheng, hoping that his body would be stronger and he would have children soon.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li thought of how pitiful her eldest nephew Li Nai was, being honest and honest, being dragged down by the family and being sent to prison for crimes.I also thought about my own luck, if it weren't for the hard work of the husband and son for two generations, the Cao family would be just another Li family.

When outsiders mentioned this matter, Cao Yong also showed a bit of anxiety.

These days, he is busy with the affairs of Tongzhou Yutian, which has reduced a lot.In the eyes of others, they thought he was worried about the Li family and mostly said some comforting words.Behind the scenes, there is no shortage of schadenfreude.Some even had grudges against the Cao family in the early years, and were already thinking of ways to frame the Cao family by taking advantage of the Li family's crime.

Only Cao Jia knew that his brother had never been close to the Li family, so he definitely would not worry about the Li family affairs.Even if he was worried, it was just because he was afraid of implicating himself in the Cao family.

She made a special trip to call Cao Yong over and asked Gao Taijun and Li Xiangyu's arrangement.

Gao Taijun is Li Xu's widowed aunt, even if she has been taken care of by Li Xu for many years, with Li's "professional daughter" around, she will not be involved in her relationship; Li Xiangyu is different, she is Li Xu's concubine granddaughter, It is unavoidable to be burdened by the family.

The last time the siblings met was when Naersu first arrived in Beijing at the beginning of the month. There were many guests and they didn't say a few words.

I haven't seen her for a month, but Cao Jia's complexion is quite different.The last time I saw you, I was also happy, but somewhat exhausted; this time I saw you, but I seemed a few years younger.

She was wearing a cheongsam with embroidered butterfly and peony patterns on a water-green background, combed her flag head, and inserted two eight-treasure hairpins inlaid with gold. Mother-in-law's people.

"I can't keep this servant, even his family?" Cao Yong was a little surprised to see his sister worrying about this matter.

If the crime involved Xiangyu, there would be no reason for Li Cheng and other grandchildren to escape. In that case, the Li family would really be completely defeated.

Cao Jia glanced at him, and said: "The Li family is originally covered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you lose your official rank, you must serve under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The small elections of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are no more than 13 years old than the general election. Girls enter at the age of seven or eight. There are also palaces. If no one pays attention, we can say hello to the sixteenth master, and she can be exempted. Now the Li family is being watched by the emperor. At this time, we can only watch. Sister Xian of the eldest sister's family is I said hello in advance, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to avoid this end."

Although Cao Yong doesn't like the Li family, but this little Xiangyu has been raised in his own home for several years, and the Li family loves him very much, and getting along with the children of the Cao family can be regarded as friendly.Thinking that she is only ten years old, a little bit older child, who was brought up in rich clothes and rich food, wants to enter the palace and become a palace maid, it is really unbearable.

"Even if you can't avoid the election, can you think of a way to take care of one or two?" Cao Yong asked.

Cao Jia said with a smile: "You don't need to worry about this, the Sixteenth Master will be careful. He is also a cousin of the Li family. If he doesn't help the Li family now, he will show some kindness to the Li family in the future. Although Xiangyu is just The granddaughter of the Li family was raised by the Cao family. For the sake of our Cao family's face, the Sixteenth Master will not stand idly by."

Cao Yong thought about it, and it was the same reason.

"Although everything outside is used, in the final analysis, it is because the Li family was too ostentatious in the early years, and it was a taboo to get involved in the royal affairs. Honestly confess the crime, and when the emperor has exhausted all this anger, it will be peaceful. With Mother said, don't worry about it, with you and my siblings here, will the Li family really beg for food?" Cao Jia lowered her voice and said.
As a female family member of the royal family, she pays attention to these things because she loves Mrs. Li.

Cao Yong agreed, and said: "I have also told my mother about these things. Don't worry too much about my sister, my mother will understand."

The siblings talked for a while, and Cao Jia sent people to see if Naersu had returned.

"It was your brother-in-law who pushed me to look for you, and now another person came to the palace. He told me to keep you, and he also has something to say to you." Cao Jia said.

Cao Yong also had something to say to Naersu, so he was not in a hurry to go back to the house. He talked with Cao Jiashi while waiting for Naersu to come back.

After waiting for more than an hour, I saw that Naersushan was late.

I heard that Cao Yong had arrived early, and he came to plead guilty without changing his big clothes.

In front of his younger brother, Cao Jiashi didn't say anything, but he used his eye knife to gouge out a few times.But Naersu didn't care, the corners of his eyes were full of joy, and he walked lightly.

Seeing this, Cao Yong raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother-in-law, is there a happy event?"

Naersu said "haha" twice, and said, "It's a great joy to tell Brother Yong to talk. I didn't dare to think about it at first."

After hearing this, both Cao Jiashi and Cao Yong looked at Naersu and waited for the follow-up.But he wanted to show off, and said with a smile: "Fu Jin and brother Yong, guess what kind of happy event it is?"

Cao Jia thought for a while, and said: "Could it be that the emperor sent you to the clan mansion?"

With Naersu's status, even if he can't serve as the Zongling, he is Zongzheng, a very noble and dignified job in the clan.

Cao Yong was thinking about the court's movements in recent days. He didn't have any special news. He just heard that the emperor wanted to rectify the Eight Banners garrison in the capital.

This candidate will never fall on Neersu's head.

Even if the emperor believed that Na Ersu had no collusion with the fourteenth elder brother, there was no reason for him to make meritorious service in military affairs for the prince who had been leading the army in the northwest for several years.In that case, the prestige is too prestige, which is definitely not what an emperor would like to see.

"Now there is still a vacancy for the prince in charge of the Six Divisions. Could it be that my brother-in-law wants to join the Six Divisions?" Cao Yong said.

After Na Ersu arrived in Beijing, he had a one-month vacation. Seeing that the vacation was about to be over, it was normal for him to pick up errands.

Kangxi was alive and had too many sons, and most of the six departments were controlled by the prince.

Of Yongzheng's sons, only the third prince was a little older and started working as an errand, and the others were either in their infancy or studying in the study.In this way, the clan kings have more opportunities.

Na Ersu shook his head with a smile, and said: "Brother Yong guessed wrong..." At this point, he turned to Cao Jia and said, "Fu Jin guessed half right, the emperor has already decreed that I will be Zuo Zongzheng... It is a joy It's not this, but I have been in the Northwest for six years, and I finally got a reward, the emperor promoted me to be the Prince of Heshuo!"

"Ah?" Cao Jiashi was already surprised when she heard the words.

Cao Yong hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "What a joy, congratulations to my brother-in-law for being promoted!"

From the county king and the prince, it seems that they have only been promoted by one level, but from the salary population, the difference is doubled.In particular, the prince of Naersu is still a hereditary replacement, and promotion is a major event for the descendants of Enze.

Tears welled up in Cao Jia's eyes, she felt blessed like wax, and said with a choked voice, "Congratulations, Lord, for fulfilling your wish!"

Naersu helped his wife up, nodded, and said, "In the six years in the Northwest, although he didn't do any meritorious service, he finally did his duty and didn't embarrass his ancestors."

He was brought up in the palace when he was young, and he inherited the title when he was a teenager. In his early years, he always wanted to imitate his ancestors and make contributions on horseback.

In the six years in the Northwest, he was not only in the garrison, but also entered Tibet once.

There is no need for enemies, only because of the difficult and dangerous roads and altitude sickness, the number of soldiers and horses has been reduced by [-]%.He also got a serious illness and nearly died.Because he was afraid that his wife would worry, he concealed this paragraph, but between life and death, he took his fame and fame lightly.

When he returned to Beijing this time, he didn't expect to get any rewards.As the prince who is in charge of military affairs, it is a blessing not to be suspected by the new emperor.

Unexpectedly, being summoned to the palace today is for the sake of his promotion.

Although Cao Jia didn't know that her husband had gone through this catastrophe of life and death, but thinking of the six years of separation between husband and wife, she finally shed tears.

Seeing his wife like this, Neersu also felt sour and unstoppable, his eyes were red, he coughed, to cover up his gaffe, and said, "This is a happy event, why are you crying?"

He spoke words of reproach in his mouth, but his hands were gentle, and he wiped away his wife's tears himself.

Seeing the affection between their husband and wife, Cao Yong couldn't stay there any longer, and said: "I am overjoyed to catch up with my brother-in-law. I should have been drunk with my brother-in-law. It's just that it's not easy to compete with my sister. Today I'll leave it to my sister and brother-in-law. own words."

In a word, Cao Jia's face turned red with embarrassment, and said: "Okay, you are a younger brother, you don't want to think about a big gift, but you know how to joke!"

"Don't be in a hurry, I still want to have a drink with brother Yong!" Na Ersu said quickly.

Cao Yong waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's never too late to eat tomorrow. This is a great joy. I will go back earlier and tell my mother that I am happy."

Seeing that he insisted on leaving, Neersu said, "If that's the case, then tomorrow I will go with your sister to pay my respects to my mother-in-law."

Cao Yong said: "The relationship is good, and my mother will be very happy."

Sending Cao Yong out, Naersu thought of something and said: "By the way, it's not just me who has a happy event. The fourteenth master wants to be the king of the Jinjun, and the seventeenth master opens the mansion to be the king of the county. Even the seventh uncle has good things. The emperor ordered He is in charge of the four banners on the left."

Although it has nothing to do with him, they are all relatives and friends, and Cao Yong is very happy in his heart.

To be more realistic, these people are decent, and the shadow of the Cao family being implicated by the Li family has faded a lot.Those who want to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the Cao family's ideas must think about these noble relatives of the Cao family.

When Cao Yong came home, he told the news that everyone was promoted to be a errand, Li Shi and Chu Yu were also very happy.

"The emperor is benevolent, your brother-in-law is very good, and the Seventeenth Lord is also very good." Li Shi said with a smile: "The Seventh Prince is even more capable!"

She is really happy for everyone, and for the fourteenth elder brother who has never been close to her, because of the Li family, she also hopes that he will be better.

If the emperor even forgives his brothers who took the throne from him, then there is no limit to venting his anger on the ministers and servants below.

Chu Yu was concerned about his father being in charge of the flag affairs. Although it was a very dignified job, it was also a labor-intensive job. I wondered if his father's body could bear it.

What Cao Yong thought was another matter.

Recently, there have been many transfers of officials in the capital and localities. Among them, officials from Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Gansu provinces under the leadership of Nian Gengyao have undergone the most changes.

The chief officials of these three provinces, let them go, transfer them, and most of them are promoted to prefects and Taoists in the province. This is the famous "annual election"...
