Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1155

"My lord, please be careful with your words!" Cao Yong hurriedly said when he saw that the ten princes called him "Xinjun".

Elder Brother Shi's expression changed, he glared at Cao Yong and said, "Could it be that you are teaching me a lesson?"

A child of the Tian family, arrogance is born in his bones.

Even though Elder Brother Shi had been under house arrest for nearly three years, he never bent down.

This time, he was willing to take the initiative to write the essay, because he saw Tianbao Bingxue's cuteness, and thought of his children, he was willing to take the initiative to give in. He didn't expect to wait for Cao Yong's warning, how could Brother Ten not be ashamed?

Seeing that Elder Brother Shi was annoyed, Cao Yong felt depressed. If Brother Ten hadn't really loved Tianbao these days, he wouldn't have asked for boredom.

Because of Tianbao, even brought Chuyu to Yin Hotel several times more often.

Relatives, relatives, and feelings also come from getting along.

Cao Yong feels sorry for his wife and children, so it's not easy to see Shi elder brother convicted of recklessness.

He held back his temper, and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor has been in Yuyu for three years...'Xinjun' is really inappropriate..." Having said this, he paused and said: "Glory favored by Nian Gengyao, he was first favored by Nian Gengyao. The emperor reprimanded me, but it was only because of a few typos in the booklet..."

Elder Brother Ten's face was red and then white, white and red again, but the anger in his eyes gradually faded away.

He shrank in an instant, with a bit of confusion on his face: "What do you want me to do, do you have to kneel at his feet and shout long live?"

Cao Yong thought for a while, and said: "A few days ago, it was mentioned in the letter of the Sixteenth Lord that the Fifteenth Lord will open a mansion and confer the title... Maybe the day when the Prince returns to Beijing is not far away..."

It's just, whether to be forgiven, accused, or both.

Elder Brother Shi was stunned for a long time when he heard the words, and then said, "What about Master Jiu, do you have any news about Master Jiu?"

Cao Yong shook his head and said: "I only know that I am in front of the Northwest Army, and I don't know anything else."

According to the history known in his previous life, after Yongzheng dealt with Nian Gengyao and Long Ke Duowai, he dealt with the eighth elder brother, ninth elder brother, tenth elder brother, and fourteenth elder brother.The first two were expelled from their clans, and they were all imprisoned to death; the latter two survived, but they were not released until Qianlong came to power.

In this life, the eighth elder brother died early, and even if the ninth elder brother did not have the Sacred Heart, he did not have the opportunity to use power, so maybe he escaped.

As long as a few clans without power are sincerely willing to give in, for the sake of reputation, Yongzheng may not care about them.

Elder Brother Shi didn't say much anymore, he just didn't know what he was thinking.

Cao Yong sighed secretly, pushed the folder back to Elder Brother Shi, and said: "The prince of Shuwen will take it back first, and see if he can think about it again, and add a few auspicious words, and I will come to pick it up in a few days."

Ten princes remained silent, Cao Yong got up and backed out.

Back in the upper room, Chu Yu had already ordered someone to prepare hangover soup, Cao Yong waved his hand, and said, "Just drink a cup of light tea and rinse your mouth, I just ate two cups."

When Chu Yu heard the words, she poured the tea herself and brought it to Cao Yong.

Seeing Cao Yong's serious face, Chu Yu was also worried and said, "But what's wrong with Uncle Ten?"

Cao Yong rubbed his brows and said: "The Wanshou Festival is approaching, the tenth master will go to Shuwen to celebrate his birthday."

"Yeah?" Chu Yu was surprised, and said, "This is a good thing. It's not good for a stalemate between monarchs and ministers, someone has to take this step first!"

If you are willing to take the initiative to go to Shuwen, even if you are willing to surrender, there are steps for the emperor to descend.

Cao Yong smiled wryly and said: "If that's the case, it would be great. How can Shi Ye's temper be able to write soft words? If you are not careful, it may be self-defeating! Therefore, I dare not accept today's essays. .In the past few days, you should go over and sit down more. Seeing that Master Shi is not cold-hearted, he also has affection for Ge Gege in the palace. I only hope that their brothers and ministers can resolve their grudges, or else Master Shi will be here If the Governor's Mansion asks about the crime, the clan will not blame the emperor, maybe they will just regard me as a running dog who persecutes the clan, and blame me for their resentment and resentment."

Cao Yong has no heart of "loyalty to the emperor". He has always avoided such things as taking the blame for the emperor.

Seeing that her husband is in trouble, Chu Yu is willing to share her husband's worries, but she also knows that reassuring the elders is different from admonishing the younger ones, and one should not act too hastily, otherwise, in the eyes of Elder Brother Ten, it would seem that the younger generation lacks respect, and instead is thankless.

The gossip of uncles and nephews, the topics in Chu Yu's mouth, revolved around her four children.

The eldest son will be fifteen next year, and when he reaches the age of marriage, the whole family is now in Qingyuan, where there is no right family; the second son is studying with Hongli elder brother, and stays alone in Beijing, getting up early every day and working late at night, which is very uncomfortable. Easy; Tianhui has eye disease, so she was exempted from the election, but what kind of family she can talk about is also worrying; although Tianbao is young, it seems that it is time to be enlightened.

These parents are short-sighted, ten princes would never listen patiently.

Now, he listened patiently, which made him think of his own children.

There are not many wives and concubines in his county palace, and there are only three famous wives and concubines. They gave birth to six sons and three daughters, and they are not considered premature deaths. Brother and 20-year-old Sixth Brother.

In other palaces, the children of the clan over the age of 15 began to be tied to marriage one after another.The princesses and elder brothers in Dunjun Wangfu were tired by the ten elder brothers, and they didn't say anything about their relationship.

Even those who are reluctant to let their parents get married, if they stay until the nineteenth or twenty and don't talk about others, they are still old girls.

Elder Brother Ten couldn't help but feel a little guilty in Chu Yu's casual gossip.

Chu Yu just didn't know, but when she came back to Yin Hotel two days later, she had changed into plain clothes, her eyes were red and swollen, she tried her best to cover it up, but she still inadvertently showed some pain.

These days, Elder Brother Shi was mostly taken care of by Chuyu, the eldest niece, who was taking care of his food and daily life; and seeing that she was not shy about it, she was willing to send the youngest son to him to relieve boredom, and the relationship between uncle and nephew was much deeper than before.

Seeing that Chu Yu's expression was wrong, Elder Ten was immediately annoyed, and asked bluntly: "But that kid Cao Yong bullied you? Don't try to hide it for him, tell Uncle Ten, Uncle Ten will vent his anger on you!"

Chu Yu shook her head hastily, and said: "No, Uncle Ten... I really don't want to do business with the forehead..." While speaking, she showed a bit of distress, and said: "I received a letter from the capital yesterday, from the Fifth Uncle's house. San Gege and Da Gege from Uncle Jiu's house are gone... Before these two cousins ​​left Beijing, their nieces went to give them off... Although I knew that Mongolia was bitterly cold and that the noble daughters of the clan rarely lived long, they never expected Bad luck will fall on the heads of the two cousins... the sister of the niece, also caressed Mongolia..."

In three years, the emperor died, the queen mother died, and then the prince died.

Brother Ten was not too moved by the bad news from his nieces, he only thought about Brother Jiu losing his eldest daughter, wondering if he would be sad.

Although there are many wives and concubines in the Ninth Brother's Mansion, and the children are together, but for the first-born daughter, the relationship is different.

Seeing that Chu Yu was sad, Elder Brother Shi couldn't help but say a few words of comfort, and said, "It's so far away, what's the use of worrying about it? Among the noble girls in Mongolia, apart from those who died young, there are also some who enjoy happiness. Isn't there a grand elder?" Princess, how many eldest princesses are alive?"

Chu Yu's eyes turned red, and she said: "Yes, my niece should also be thankful, after all, my sister has been named princess, even if she is not as noble as the princess, she is still much better than the lower-ranked daughter... This is the prince's mansion, Beizi's mansion Gege, I can still get a bad news, how many ordinary daughters of the clan, who have died quietly in Mongolia..."

She felt sad, so she didn't stay in Yin Hotel any longer, and left with a little sadness.

Elder Brother Ten lay on his back on the kang for a long time, and when he sat up again, his face was already determined.

A few days later, Cao Yong took over Shuwen from Elder Brother Shi.

He picked up the study and read it word by word. Although there were no flattering words, they were respectful and without any ambiguity.

Although the thirteenth elder brother hinted in the letter, the emperor wanted Cao Yong to get close to the tenth elder brother.

The king's heart is unpredictable, especially the emperor's heart, which is like a sea trench, bottomless.

If Nian Gengyao and Longkodo want to continue to have a seizure after Yongzheng's outbreak, Brother Shi will not be spared, and maybe he will take his anger on Cao Yong.

By that time, even Cao Yong's friendliness to the ten princes these days has become Cao Yong's fault.

In that case, there is no place to complain, so Cao Yong can only do more to check for the ten princes.

On Cao Yong's side, for the Longevity Festival, he also wrote a book eloquently. In addition to congratulating the Longevity Festival, he also implored him to return to Beijing to see him.

Every year on Wanshou Festival, it is also the time when the governor enters Beijing.

Cao Yong submitted the book as early as July, and at that time the instruction was "it is still early, and we can discuss it later."

Now, it is already the beginning of October, whether or not to let His Majesty enter Beijing to see you, you should also give a letter of approval...

In the capital, Nian's house, in the old man's house.

The old man was wearing clothes, leaning on the kang head, his face was a little gray.

Nian Xi sat on a square stool beside the Kang, holding a bowl of black soup in his hand, stirring the spoon, and wanted to feed the old man medicine.Qigege stood behind her husband, holding warm tea for gargling in her hand.

The old man shook his head and said: "The old man can still handle the medicine bowl..." While speaking, he took the medicine bowl from his grandson and drank it in two gulps.

Qi Gege hurriedly took two steps forward, took the bowl from the old man's hand, and handed him warm tea.

The old man rinsed his mouth, looking at his filial grandson and grandwife, he was somewhat relieved, and said kindly: "It's just a change in the solar terms, and I feel a little uncomfortable, just take the medicine and lie down for a few days, and you will be fine. I'm tired, go to rest earlier. It's the troubled season, if you young couple also fall ill from exhaustion, what else can the old man count on..."

Before the voice fell, he heard the commotion from the yard.

"grandfather……"

"Master..."

While talking, two people walked in through the curtain, it was Nian Xing and Nian Fu, both brothers had anxious expressions on their faces.

Seeing that they were wearing out clothes, the old man's face suddenly drooped.

Earlier, the brothers stayed in the mansion honestly. Since the emperor of September issued an order to arrest Nian Gengyao and go to Beijing, Nian Fu couldn't stay anymore, so he took Nian Xing out of the mansion often to inquire about news.

Looking at the outfits of the two brothers, needless to say, they came back from outside again.

Nian Fu didn't care to look at his face, and said eagerly: "Grandfather, according to the news from Jiangnan, father should arrive in the capital; the officials sent by the Ministry of Punishment to Hangzhou also showed up in the capital, but go to the Ministry of Punishment to inquire. But he said his father hadn't arrived yet..."
