Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1171 Zhang Mu

Shengjing, Prince Ping's Mansion.

Cao Jiashi sent two housekeepers sent by her natal family to pay her respects, picked up Cao Yong's family letter, and read it.

In the letter, Cao Yong once again declined the marriage of the two families and reiterated his scruples.The blood relationship is too close, which hinders the heirs.

Tianhui is a precedent. During the years when Tianhui was blind, he and Chuyu were so worried.

Because among the lords of the royal family in the capital, there are many people who are married to their cousins.Cao Yong also picked out a few children with incompleteness, and gave examples to prove that his remarks were not groundless, and it was indeed confirmed by Xiyang, which is shocking to watch.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "if the same surname does not marry, they will not be born in the same family", but this is also due to blood relationship.Middle cousins ​​within three generations are closer by blood than clan members.

If not, the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty" and "Laws of the Qing Dynasty" would not explicitly prohibit Chinese cousins.

Although Cao Jia was a little unhappy in her heart, seeing that her younger brother was not looking down on her own son, but because of her love for her son, she did not feel resentment.

She looked at the gift list, but it was rice noodles, grains and oils in various colors, so she couldn't help smiling.

Among them, many of them are what she often eats, presumably because her younger brother and sister-in-law are afraid that life outside the customs will not be cheap, so they are so careful.

But it is also a heart.

After reading Cao Yong's letter, Cao Jiashi read Tianhui's letter again.

Her love for Tianhui, a niece, is no less than her own four sons.In addition to being a niece, the love of flesh and blood, there is also [-]% empathy, putting all the heart of loving a daughter on this niece.

Tianhui's characters were taught by Cao Jia's hand in hand, and they are very similar to Cao Jia's characters.

The letter was very long, three or four pages long, and besides greetings, it also talked about some interesting things about the Governor's Mansion.

Along with the letter came a package of things that Tianhui sewed herself.A pair of collars, a homely dress.The collar and cuffs of the shirt are all exquisite bead embroidery.

Ordinary people don't have this kind of embroidery.

It was Cao Jia who, after Tianhui started learning needlework, was afraid that she would be troublesome with silk thread.She also knows that Tianhui has a high spirit, even if she does not do things perfectly, she has to do what she is satisfied with before letting go.So she found two boxes of rice beads, as well as some small gemstones, small jade, etc., all pierced, and used for Tianhui's embroidery.

In this way, it can add to the work done and save a few stitches.

Over the past few years, Tianhui has practiced a good craft.Embroider elegant and generous work by stringing beads with the least number of designs and colors.

Cao Jia rubbed her clothes, and saw that it was her favorite color. The flower color on the top was matched with magnolia, and the stamens of magnolia were made of small pink pearls, which were delicate and lovely, and she was more and more satisfied.

Thinking that her precious niece was already in the age of cardamom, she could not help but sighed when she thought about the day when she would get married.

Just when Naer Suda strode in from outside, seeing her sigh, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Cao Jia got up and gave up her seat, and said: "Master, after a while, how about having someone pick Tianhui over? My siblings have to take care of their mother, and they have to take care of the whole family. I don't think I have much time to teach Tianhui... ..."

Na Ersu thought for a while, and said: "Let's wait a little longer. If it's not bad, Brother Yong may be transferred back to Beijing before the end of the year. If that's the case, Brother Yong and his siblings may start to discuss with God Bless their brothers and sisters. Dear, it is not easy to leave the capital..."

Cao Jiashi nodded and said: "Then wait a little longer, if Brother Yong doesn't return to Beijing, then send someone to pick him up..."

Seeing that her husband was in a good mood, Cao Jia served the tea herself, and said with a smile: "Looking at the way you look, you have gained a lot today?"

Neersu smiled "haha" and said: "I have shot several wild ducks and some quails, and they have been sent to the kitchen. I will add more food tonight." Speaking of this, he was a little proud, and said: "Fu Nai was defeated by the Lord again, and he chose to live or die. The duck was stubborn, saying that he was always used to hunting wild animals. He will have to wait until summer to compete with the Lord."

Spring is the breeding season of beasts, and it is a common convention that hunting of beasts begins in large numbers in summer.Most of the hunting in spring is waterfowl.

Seeing that her husband was in a good mood, Cao Jia said, "Master's kung fu is naturally one-on-one. In summer, he will be convinced..."

The house is bright in spring, and the house is full of laughter.

The two servant girls outside the door all pursed their lips and smiled.The moods of the masters are getting better, this Shengjing palace is getting more and more warm...

Qingyuan, the official residence.

After Cao Yong read the scripture in his hand, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said to Song Hou: "This is too outrageous. If you don't know Tang Zhiyu, after reading this scripture, you will only think that he is a big greedy man who deceives his superiors and his subordinates."

Song Hou stroked his beard, and said, "I've written it before, so I'm not afraid of such an excerpt. Tang Zhiyu has been an official in the capital for more than ten years, and he has a good reputation. The most troublesome thing is such an excerpt..." Speaking In the middle of the day, I picked one out of the half-foot-high folds next to me and gave it to Cao Yong.

Cao Yong opened it and read it. It was also the account of Yu Shi's impeachment of Tang Zhiyu. This one is not so exaggerated, but a little detailed.

It mentioned above that Tang Zhiyu's family cared for the widowed aunt, but the words were vague and ostentatious.Originally, Tang Zhiyu took care of his widowed aunt, but now he has a bad heart; from raising a few cousins, he has turned into occupying the inheritance left by his uncle.

From the age of the widow and aunt when she was widowed, to the number of acres of land and houses handed down by the Tang family from their ancestors, they are all listed above.

Seeing this, Cao Yong immediately changed his face.

This is really a bite of a thief, three points in the eyes.

Even if it can be proved in the end that this book is false, Tang Zhiyu's character will still be questioned.

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, not to mention that the hot topic of "rape aunt" appeared on Tang Zhiyu, who has always been famous, and it will become a joke of the capital's dignitaries after dinner.

"What's wrong with the world? There's really no way out for good people!" Cao Yong has known Tang Zhiyu for more than ten years, and he also knows a lot about Tang's family affairs. It was easier. In the early years, when his cousins ​​failed the examinations, he had to support the family alone. Life was difficult, and his wife and daughter had to take care of the housework by themselves. After many years of hard work, he forced all his cousins ​​to support him. It came out. This is a beautiful story, but it is really annoying to be used by this villain to splash dirty water."

Song Hou stroked his beard and said: "The official warehouse has always been involved in a lot, and even the adults are tied up. They set up a permanent warehouse and don't touch the official warehouse. The danger is evident. Master Tang used thunderbolt methods to thoroughly investigate the official warehouse. Cang, attracting criticism, is also expected. I just didn't expect it to be so menacing. My lord has to make plans early. Although Mr. Tang has a good official reputation, he has never been a close minister of the emperor, and his integrity is not known to the emperor. At this juncture, the emperor saw these impeachment papers, and perhaps he would understand Mr. Tang's difficulty and dismiss these papers. But three people become tigers, and after listening too much, even if it is not at this time, Mr. Tang will be disgusted in his heart Mr. Tang's conduct. If that happens, Mr. Tang's future may stop at the position of the chief envoy."

Although Tang Zhiyu is a political envoy, he is neither party nor group.

These people dared to flock to him, even slandering him, because they were deceiving him that he had no backing.

Tang Zhiyu did all the work of being scolded for his efforts, and Cao Yong, the boss, always had to take some responsibility.

It's just that Qingyuan is nearly [-] miles away from the capital, and Cao Yong has to think carefully if he wants to make an eye for Tang Zhiyu.

After all, the two places are three hundred miles apart, so it's not easy for him to appear to be too well-informed.

After thinking about it again and again, he didn't know what the imperial censor of the capital had criticized Tang Zhiyu for the time being, and only mentioned one sentence in the note to Yongzheng.

Last year, the Zhili feudal treasury only used three or four tenths of the money to support honesty, and the remaining half should be sent to Beijing to enrich the army's salary in the Northwest.

In the next invitation to Ann, Cao Yong also mentioned some disadvantages found in the thorough investigation of local official warehouses by the chief envoy.

In the 61st year of Kangxi, Cao Yong and Yongzheng were both participants in the investigation of Tongzhou Jingcang ordered by the first emperor.

Cao Yong used Jingcang as a comparison, and used data to report the disadvantages of Guancang on paper.

After the two invitations to Ann Zhezi, the news of Tang Zhiyu's impeachment had spread from the capital to Zhili official circles.

Afterwards, Cao Yong immediately wrote a thick note, "pleading guilty" to Yongzheng.

Tang Zhiyu works hard and loves the people like his son, so he can be called a capable official.However, he offended his colleagues because of the reduction of the share of the bank for the maintenance of honesty and the investigation of the official warehouse, and he was treated like this.

Cao Yong, as the governor, could not suppress the Zhili officialdom, which made Tang Zhiyu excluded and criticized. As a top peak, he was really unqualified.

At the end of the excerpt, Cao Yong expressed his indignation at the rumor that Tang Zhiyu had "occupied" his uncle's property.

He mentioned that he was an official with Tang Zhiyu in the same yamen ten years ago, and he knew a little about Tang Zhiyu's past life of supporting his widowed aunt and raising his cousin when he was living in poverty, and so on.

Song Hou read this scripture and remonstrated: "Your Excellency still needs to think about it. Although this scripture can clear up the grievances of Mr. Tang before the imperial court, it is easy to attract criticism."

Cao Yong listened and understood what Song Hou meant.

It's just that the governor agrees with the governor, but he doesn't get along with the governor.

For local officials, they naturally hope that the governors will cooperate with each other, so as to avoid "fighting between gods and harming mortals."

In the eyes of the Ninth Five-Year Master, to control the world, it is necessary to pay attention to the balance of power in every way, and he does not want to see his ministers monopolizing power.

Cao Yong was the governor, and Tang Zhiyu, the chief minister, became the first civil official under the governor.

Although the two are superiors and subordinates, in Yongzheng's eyes, he definitely hopes that the two will be restrained.

Cao Yong's colleague who defended Tang Zhiyu also destroyed the situation where the two restrained each other.

Cao Yong waved his hand and said: "It's okay, this governor will not last long, if he can get away with his son, it can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end."

Facing a suspicious emperor like Yongzheng, if Cao Yong behaved in every possible way, he might be suspected instead.

Now for Tang Zhiyu's opening book, I am filled with righteous indignation and a bit hasty. Although it is a little out of line with official rules, it is not a serious problem.On the contrary, it seems that Cao Yong is not courageous enough, and he is too human, so he acts rashly.

These problems are all Cao Yong's own; talking about it in front of Yongzheng will not have any effect...
