Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1095 Strange Rumors
Li's concern for Tianbao's illness was not much less than that of his son and daughter-in-law.I made a wish in front of the Buddha, and after eating a long fast for a while, I couldn't eat well or sleep well every day, and I lost a lot of energy.

But she was sad, and she also knew that her little grandson was seriously ill, and her son and daughter-in-law were suffering, so she couldn't make trouble for them any more.So I had no choice but to hold on and take Niuniu and Tianhui to do the housework so that the daughter-in-law could concentrate on taking care of the children.

When Tianbao got better, Mrs. Li couldn't stand it anymore and finally fell ill.

Fortunately, the imperial doctor only said that it was too tiring and lack of energy, so it will be fine after a few days of recuperation.

By the time the grandparent and grandson got better, the Double Ninth Festival was approaching.

Foreign officials who have been called to Beijing have already come to Beijing, including Li Wei, the Chief Envoy of Yunnan Chief Envoy.

Cao Yong was taken aback when he saw Li Wei in his living room.

His weather-stained face made him look like an old farmer who planed food in the fields, much thinner than when he left Beijing.There are many deep Sichuan lines between the brows, it seems that the two years of rising to the top are also the result of hard work.I don't know if it's because of the darkening of his face, but the pockmarks that were conspicuous before are not so conspicuous anymore.

"Today I heard the news that you have arrived in Beijing again, and I was thinking about when to get together. Sit down, sit down." Seeing him get up, Cao Yong hurriedly said.

"I was thinking of coming to see you again in a few days, but when I heard that Mrs. Tai is ill, I became an uninvited guest and came here directly." Li Wei was quite concerned: "How is Mrs. Tai?"

He had lived in Cao's residence for a few years, and he and Cao's family were considered good friends.

"I have recovered from my illness, and I am bothered and worried." Cao Yong said.

After Li Wei heard this, Fang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to be cured, it's good to be cured."

Seeing this, Cao Yong felt something was wrong, and looked at Li Wei puzzledly.

Li Wei hesitated for a moment, and said: "I was in the Ministry of Officials today, and I accidentally listened to it. It was said that Mrs. Tai was seriously ill, and my lord took half a month's leave, and I couldn't help it... My lord also knows that the Ministry of Officials is in a mess right now." , eager to take advantage of the opportunity of this transfer to make a fortune, and black-heartedly hope that others will be vacant..."

When Cao Yong heard this, he laughed back in anger.

What kind of world is this? He was doing his best to be a servant, and he didn't run out of office like Yiduli. As a result, his servant's chair was missed by someone.

That's right, if he were "Ding You", wouldn't the lack of the servant of the household department be given up?

Seeing that Cao Yong didn't speak, Li Wei hesitated for a while, and asked: "The governor of Liangjiang has always been a fat vacancy. Those people naturally hope that the Lord will not go well, so that they can have a chance to fight for it."

"What Governor of Liangjiang?" Cao Yong became more and more confused after hearing this: "Why is it still related to me?"

Li Wei couldn't help being surprised to see Cao Yong like this.

It turned out that the governor of Liangjiang, Cha Bina, was also among those summoned to Beijing this time.Someone turned up old accounts, the governor had a very good personal relationship with elder brother Jiu in the early years, I am afraid that the governor's position is coming to an end.

Afterwards, the Governor-General of Liangjiang, who had not yet been vacated, became a favorite.

Today it is said that this person is thinking about it, and tomorrow it is said that that person is robbing. It has been passed around and somehow Cao Yong is also mentioned in it.

Hearing Li Wei's words, Cao Yong shook his head and said: "I didn't even know that I wanted to seek the governor of Liangjiang, but others knew about it. What is it called? They are probably busy for nothing. I think Lao Cha can be another one. "

Since Yongzheng wanted to transfer Li Wei to Jiangnan, Cha Bina would not move for the time being.Otherwise, no one will be in charge, and the officialdom in Jiangnan will be handed over to newcomers, and Yongzheng will not be at ease.

Besides, the old accounts that everyone turned over are too old to be useful.

Chapina's current helping hand in the court is not the ninth elder brother, nor the clan prince, but "National Uncle" Longkodo.

It is said that the governor's wife has a "very good" personal relationship with the uncle's wife.

It seems that the officials of the six ministries are not fools. They can see that the emperor is not as good as before to the "uncle of the country", otherwise the big guys would not sharpen their knives and rush at Cha Bina.

After listening to Cao Yong's words, Li Wei knew that the rumors that he was seeking the governor of Liangjiang were all rumors, and he said with a smile: "It seems that they are robbing everyone who is vacant, and everyone seems to be robbing. .”

Now that he has a different status, he also knows how to avoid taboos, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for Cao Yong. After eating two cups of tea, he got up and said goodbye.

Cao Yong didn't know how long Li Wei had lived in history, but seeing that he had aged a lot after two years, he said: "You can take advantage of the time when you return to Beijing. Your body is capital, and you will be in the officialdom in the future." There’s still some left to boil.”

Li Wei's eyes turned on Cao Yong's face, and he said: "See you today, the emperor and the thirteenth master, both of them are more tired than two years ago; only the lord is still calm, which is enviable .Only with the character of an adult, can one look down on wealth and honor and not be burdened by official career."

Although Li Wei had envy in his eyes, Cao Yong was a little embarrassed.

Relying on the fact that he is a deputy, he should ask for instructions and hand over the errands that should be handed over to the subordinate officers. In addition to reading documents, he just eats tea and reads the court newspaper every day. He is only busy at the end of the year. It was a little more leisurely.

Compared with the Kangxi Dynasty, he was a little less anxious and less attentive.

If it wasn't for the fact that Tianyou was still young, and his cousins ​​couldn't support the family, he would have wanted to become an official directly...

After the Double Ninth Festival, Cao Yong canceled his vacation and returned to the household department as an errand.

Because of Li Wei's words, Cao Yong paid attention and asked people to inquire about the origin of the rumors that he was seeking the governor of Liangjiang.

After inquiring for two days, and heard some news, it turned out that Yidu's outspokenness caused the incident.

There is a servant in the Ministry of War, who has a little bit of trouble with him. I met him at a dinner and somehow heard that he ran away from the official position. After drinking, he ridiculed him for not knowing his size. He started to restless within a year after he was promoted from the position of officer. .

Yi Duli is also a son of a lord, and he is proud, so let him hurt himself by relying on his old age.Besides, the servant is also running behind his back, and he has found the lack of the governor of Liangjiang.

Xu was angry with the servant on purpose, and Yi Du immediately said that there was a big man seeking the governor of Liangjiang, and it was almost inseparable.

When Cao Yong heard this, he was very annoyed.

If these gossips reached Yongzheng's ears, wouldn't he be wronged?

Even if he wanted to pick up a leak and let it out, he never thought about Jiangnan.The second-ranked governor in the world is also an important place. With his own qualifications, he really can't get it, let alone Jiangnan is a place he needs to avoid.

Just when he was annoyed, Yong Zhengzheng in the Hall of Mental Cultivation mentioned this matter to the thirteenth elder brother.

"Cao Yong, are you really looking for the governor of Liangjiang?" Yongzheng frowned and asked the thirteenth elder brother.

Brother Thirteen was a little surprised: "It's the first time I've heard of such a thing."

Yongzheng looked at him twice, and said, "Didn't the thirteenth brother mention it a few days ago, it's a pity that Cao Yong is nesting in the household department?"

Elder Brother Thirteen's eyelids twitched, and he replied with a smile: "I feel that being a deputy restricts Cao Yong's talent. Look at how successful he has been in the officialdom during these years as a palm-printing officer. As a servant of the household department, besides Except for the promotion of corn and sweet potatoes, the others are mediocre, and there are no achievements that make people shine."

Seeing Brother Thirteen's comment on Cao Yong, Yongzheng felt protective and said something fair: "Food is the most important thing for the people, and promoting good seeds is by no means a trivial matter. If the officials in the world, they all think about the people's livelihood. , then I don’t have to worry about it.”

Elder Brother Thirteen, it’s not good to talk about Cao Yong again, otherwise the scene will be "forming a party", and he diverted the conversation: "It is the luck of the people in the world to have such a benevolent emperor who is sympathetic to the people..."

While saying eulogies, he could see that the emperor already had the heart to release Cao Yong.

He couldn't guess where it was, but he knew it would definitely not be Jiangnan.

Yi Duli is not a stupefied young man in the officialdom, the words he said last time were just on the wine table, and when he was drunk, he said things in a hurry and made people sick.After that, I didn't take it to heart.

He didn't wake up until he heard the rumors spread, even the words of "Ding You" came out, and he realized that his mouth had caused Cao Yong trouble.

Others don't know, but he knows that Cao Yong asked for leave a few days ago because his youngest son was seriously ill.His wife also sent people to visit the sick with medicinal materials and supplements.Now, it's ready.Although Mrs. Tai was sick for a few days, it was also because she was worried about her grandson.

This is good, but people say that they want to "Ding You", so it's strange if they don't feel annoyed.

However, Cao Yong is annoyed, and he also knows that Yi Duli is unintentional.As long as he knows how to calculate, he will not have been an officer for more than 20 years, and he will not emerge until Yongzheng ascends the throne.

Seeing Yi Duli coming to plead guilty with shame on his face, Cao Yong couldn't say anything annoyed, but just advised him to remember this lesson and remember the truth that "disaster comes from the mouth".This time, he was only angry with others, and said a few words, even if he caused Cao Yong a little trouble, he should be careful in the future, especially in the officialdom, he must beware of villains.

Yi Duli knew that he had made a big mistake, even if Cao Yong did not blame him, he was ashamed.

You know, the rumors caused by his open mouth not only affected Cao Yong, but also Mrs. Tai.Obviously it was just a minor illness, but people talked about it after dinner, how long she could survive, whether she could survive this winter and so on.

He couldn't wait for the rumors to dissipate with peace of mind, so he had to try his best to make up for Cao Yong for his words.

But the more he helped, the more busy he was. He praised Cao Yong as a filial son when he saw people, and said to others, "The governor of Liangjiang is fat in the eyes of others, but Cao Yong may not look down on him. He wants to be filial to his mother and take care of his brothers. How did you go to Jiangnan? The previous stories were all rumors."

It was obviously a good word, but the first sentence at the beginning was a slip of the tongue, which slapped those who wanted to be short-sighted in the face.

The governor of Liangjiang, the second governor in the world, even Cao Yong looked down on him, so he got the governor of Zhili?

The more Yiduli helped, the more busy he was, Cao Yong's "running for an official" matter became more and more discerning. Not only did his colleagues in the bureaucracy make indirect remarks, but even the Prince Chun sent someone to invite him over to ask him about it.

Cao Yong really can't laugh or cry, the governor of Zhili, because of his reliance on Beijing, is the first governor in the world.

Everyone knows that the governor of Zhili is the emperor's confidant, and this lack is simply not something that can be found by running an official.

This is why some people dare to stare at the vacant governor of Liangjiang, but no one cares about the vacant governor of Zhili...
