Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1203 Make promises, break promises, promises
Cao Yong's maritime trade agreement has not yet been completed, and there is another major event in the court. The newly released Zhili Governor Li Fu and Henan Governor Tian Wenjing have a slobbering lawsuit in front of the imperial court.

Li Fu was Jieyuan in Jiangxi in the 47th year of Kangxi. He was a Jinshi in the 48th year of Kangxi.

In the 60th year of Kangxi, he was appointed as the deputy chief examiner of the national examination. He was dismissed from office and released to work in the Hegong Office because of his son's gathering in the house to make trouble. He was not recalled until Yongzheng Yuan.

After Cao Yong was dismissed as the governor of Zhili, Tang Zhiyu was the governor of Zhili. Everyone thought he would be the next governor. Unexpectedly, at the end of the day, Yongzheng recalled Li Fu, who had outstanding achievements.

Li Fu returned to Beijing under the order, and passed through Kaifeng, Henan. Tian Wenjing, the governor of Henan, came out to welcome him, and the two officials of the frontier had a quarrel.

At first, it was just a matter of treating scholars well or not, and there were some disagreements; when it came to the imperial court, it became a dispute between "clique formation" and "greedy abuse".

Tian Wenjing impeached Li Fu for "forming a party for personal gain", and Li Fu impeached Tian Wenjing for being "greedy and abusive" and unkind.

Li Fu was born in the imperial examinations, so of course he spoke for scholars; Tian Wenjing was born as a donated official, and he regarded his subordinates who were born in academic classes as thorns in his eyes and thorns in his flesh, and tried his best to suppress and criticize them.

The official circles in Henan were full of turmoil and disputes.

For this Li Fu, Cao Yong has also dealt with him twice. Speaking of which, he is the same year as Ma Jun, and he has a personal relationship with Ma Jun.

Jiangxi was originally a place where talented people were born. Jiangxi officials spread all over the government and the public. In addition, Li Fu served as an imperial official for more than ten years. He also served as the chief examiner of the provincial examinations in Yunnan and Zhejiang. Not wronged him.

Tian Wenjing's imperial servants are very strict, and he has long been known as a "cruel official".To say that he is greedy is not greedy for money, but greedy for fame.

From official to governor, most of his family's children are white, and they don't take anything except salary. He even refuses the customary "three festivals and two longevity" rituals in officialdom.

If he wants to be an upright official, it will be difficult for others to reach out.

There are many complaints in Henan officialdom, and this is also the reason.

He is ruthless to himself, ruthless to his officials, and not kind to the people.

The two new policies of "Talk into the Mu" and "Huo Consumption Return to the Public" were implemented slowly in other places. Only the strong wind and rain in Henan caused many people to flee in good times.

Both Li Fu and Tian Wenjing were introduced by Yongzheng himself, and both were celebrities in the imperial court.

Regarding this dispute, many people watched the excitement, and some people tried to mix it up.

Those who help Li Fu naturally find Tian Wenjing not pleasing to the eye. After all, there are many branches in the officialdom, and the children of whose families are not kept are suffering in Henan.

Those who helped Tian Wenjing were not many in number, but they were also important. Most of them were full ministers.Although they didn't like to see Tian Wenjing, they also couldn't get used to the "clique" of Han officials.

The collision between these two governors may be recorded in history, but Cao Yong didn't know the whole story.

However, since Tian Wenjing died well and was dubbed the "model governor of the world", Cao Yong knew that Tian Wenjing would win the lawsuit.

Not to mention, Tian Wenjing came to Beijing this time to meet with His Majesty, and proposed to implement "gentleman and gentry pay food together" in Henan.

With him as the vanguard of the New Deal, Yongzheng must be eager to see how he can tear things apart.

As the Longevity Day approached, the governors from other places who were called back to Beijing also came to Beijing one after another, and Tang Zhiyu was among them.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, Cao Yong received the first copy of charcoal respect.

When Tang Zhiyu handed over the post and asked people to send charcoal, Cao Yong felt very strange.At this time last year, he was filial to others.

The governor next to him was alright, in order to avoid suspicion, they were just exchanging name cards, Tang Zhiyu was an old friend, so he treated them slowly.

Cao Yong took half a day to hold a banquet at home and invited Tang Zhiyu to come over for a drink.

The moment he saw Tang Zhiyu, he was taken aback.

It was less than two months since Qingyuan left, Tang Zhiyu had lost a lot of weight, and his complexion was very ugly.

"Yigong, is this just recovering from a serious illness?" Cao Yong asked with some doubts.

"I suffered from phlegm at the beginning of the month, and it's almost gone." Tang Zhiyu coughed twice and said.

Seeing him like this, Cao Yong couldn't help persuading him: "Don't work too hard on Yigong. If you really care about the people in Zhili, you should cherish your body more. It's a long-term way."

Tang Zhiyu waved his hand with a wry smile, and said, "My lord, don't say that. Now that Mr. Li supervises Zhili, it is the blessing of the people of Zhili. The only thing I want to do is to hand over the government affairs of Zhili to Mr. Li in a proper way." , it’s fine if you don’t miss your job.”

He was celibate, with a "notoriety", and stayed in Zhili. He thought that the emperor valued Zhili, and he wanted to hand Zhili into his hands. Who would have thought that something would happen again.

Thinking about it was also a blow.

For Cao Yong, other officials are just a name and a resume; Tang Zhiyu's official career in the past ten years has been witnessed by Cao Yong.

No matter in terms of seniority or political achievements, Tang Zhiyu has no reason not to be promoted one step further.

"Don't be disheartened about Yigong. You have only one year to complete your term. We'll see then." Cao Yong said.

It's meaningless to talk about these, Tang Zhiyu nodded, and talked with Cao Yong about the recent situation in Zhili.

Tang Zhiyu was not good at drinking, and Cao Yong always paid attention to the way of keeping in good health. The two just had a few sips, so they put down the wine cup.

During the meal break, Cao Yong whispered a few words to the servant.

After dinner, before Tang Zhiyu left, Chu Yu asked someone to deliver a ginseng box.Inside are two premium ginseng.

"Whether it is to repay the emperor's favor or to benefit the better people, meritorious deeds must be cherished." Cao Yong sent Tang Zhiyu out and handed the ginseng box to him in person.

Tang Zhiyu took it, thanked him solemnly, got on the horse, and led the people away...

It was [-] li away from the capital, and Hang Seng hurried on his way a few days ago, and it took him five days to reach the capital.

The team that he left behind for slow naturalization did not arrive in Beijing until ten days after he arrived in Beijing.

It wasn't until the team arrived that Cao Yong and Chu Yu realized why they were moving so slowly.

In addition to the gifts that Hang Seng bought for his family, there are also gifts from the prince to Hang Seng.

These gifts involved food, clothing, housing, and transportation. There were a dozen or so carts, and the rest were people and horses.

Twenty families of slaves, forty Mongolian warriors, eight young female slaves, more than 100 people.

In addition to the warriors riding, there are twenty adult horses, twenty colts, plus the carts, this is nearly a hundred Mongolian horses.

These things are mighty, if not accompanied by the officials of Zhasak Tuhan Palace, they would not have entered the customs so smoothly.

The funeral report sent by the envoy of Gelke Yanpile has been handed over to the Lifan Court.

The Shangshu of the Lifan Academy was originally Longkodo and Prince Cheng, and now one is encircled and the other is sick. The seventeenth elder brother and the original servant of the Lifan Academy, Tegutuo, are the Shangshu.

The former is just a name, mainly in charge of military affairs; the latter is a general, and Cao Yong only met him at the court meeting.

Therefore, although Cao Yong paid more attention to the matter of Zhasaktu Banner for the sake of Hang Seng, he had nowhere to start, so he could only ask people to inquire about the palace.

I don't know if it's because the emperor can't get away with all the opportunities, or because of other reasons, after a few days, the emperor didn't summon the envoy of the Zhasaktu Banner.

When the convoy arrived at Cao's Mansion, there was still room to put things. There were more than 100 people, a hundred horses, and a dozen carts. Where to put them became a problem.

Although the Cao family has a stable, they don't have so many rich places.

In the end, [-]% stayed in the mansion, [-]% were placed in the East Mansion, and [-]% were placed in Zuozhu and Zuocheng.

Although Cao Yong had already heard from Zhang Yi that Ge Yanke Yanpi Le gave a generous gift to Hang Seng, he did not expect it to be so rich.

He couldn't help but fell into deep thought for a while, and then asked Hang Seng to speak in front of him.

"Have you read the brochure that the prince handed over to Yuqian?" Cao Yong asked.

This nonsensical question made Hang Seng startled, then shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, Su De will hold it, and he will report the funeral to the imperial court on behalf of the palace."

This Su De is the head of the envoys from King Khan's mansion. He came to Beijing with his son, and Cao Yong met him once.

Cao Yong nodded and said: "So, when the son sent you these people, did you explain anything?"

"Just say that I was wronged in the past... It would be better if more people around me served..." Hang Seng replied.

He wasn't lying, he was just cutting corners.

Ge Yanke Yanpile's words were not limited to these two sentences. He only said that Hang Seng had grown up. Although he was favored by Cao's family for his upbringing, he was a descendant of the Golden Family after all. He always had his own mansion and his own slave population.

From Hang Seng's point of view, this is like an expulsion order. Presumably, the eldest son is also because he loves the youngest son, and is afraid that he will return to Khalkha.

He was not angry in his heart, and he refused to accept these so-called "gifts", but he really couldn't stand the entreaties of Gelke Yanpil.

Ge Like Yanpile told the late Khan King Fujin and Hang Seng's biological mother, and his face was full of tears, and his mouth was full of words of self-blame.

Hang Seng is still soft-hearted.

He accepted these gifts, thinking that as long as the son can feel at ease.

As long as he thinks about the warmth of the Cao family, the resentment that has just sprouted in Hang Seng's heart will disappear.

Perhaps God is the most fair, everyone's blessings are limited.

Since he was regarded as his own by his adoptive parents, there is nothing sad about being abandoned by his biological father again.

Now, he is afraid that his father will worry about the hidden truth, so he will not reveal it.

In Cao Yong's heart, he was already furious.

It seems that Ge Keyanpile really meant to break the promise, otherwise why would he give these away with great fanfare.

Chu Yu mentioned that among the dozen or so carts, there were two or three carts of gold and silver.

People and money have been given, but the position of the son of the world should be given to someone else?

If he hadn't mentioned it twice and three times in recent years, Cao Yong wouldn't have thought about it.

Even the candidates for the future daughter-in-law are pretty much the same. If there is a change at this time, isn't it the Cao family's business?
He couldn't sit still, so he stood up with a "teng".

"Father?" Hang Seng couldn't help worrying when he saw that his face was not good-looking: "You are..."

Cao Yong suppressed his anger, waved his hands, and said: "It's okay, I remembered something and forgot to take care of it, you can go down first."

Hang Seng went down in response, Cao Yong walked a few steps on the ground, and decided to go to Brother Sixteen to discuss.

I don't want to, before I left the door, the porter handed over the post, and Su De, the chief official of Zasak Tuhan's palace, came to visit, and he was already waiting in the hall.

Cao Yong raised his eyebrows and asked people to meet in the living room.

Su De was in his forties, with a beard. He looked very brave, but he spoke official Chinese well, not as blunt as ordinary Mongolians.

He knew that Cao Yong was the benefactor of his son, and he was very polite in his conversation, just exchanging greetings, not getting into the point.

Since he sent it to the door, Cao Yong was naturally not in a hurry.

Still Su De couldn't hold back, got up and took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Cao Yong with both hands, and said: "Before I went south, the son of the world had ordered that if you have any difficulties in the capital, you can come and beg Master Cao. The minister is dull, he has been in Beijing for a few days, but he still has not been summoned by the emperor, so he is really worried about King Khan's mansion, so he can only come to trouble Mr. Cao."

Really begging for help.

Cao Yong knew why Su De was in a hurry. The Mongolian prince's succession had to be decreed by the court, so it was justified.

Because the road is far away, there will be a time delay for accepting the Lord's will.

When you are happy, the decree will be issued within a few months; if it is delayed, it is possible to issue the decree of the lord after one or two years.

Ge Yanke Yanpil is the son of Zhasaktu Khan, so there is no need to worry, just wait for the succession of the prince.

It happened that he was not the old Khan's own son, but his nephew's adoptive son. He was not the only prince related to the blood of the Khan's mansion in the territory of Zasaktu Khan.

If there were other people walking around the capital before Chengjue's order came down, there might be many disturbances.

Cao Yong took the letter with a warm face, but a cold snort in his heart.

As long as there is a need to ask him, he was thinking about where to start, so he brought a pillow.

He was not in a hurry to open the letter, he just put it aside and served tea to the guests.

Su De is proficient in Chinese and familiar with official etiquette. Although he hesitated for a while, he left first.

Cao Yong ordered people to see off the guests, but he took Ge Yanke Yanpile's letter and went back to the study.

In the letter, in addition to the clichéd gratitude, he praised Hang Seng again and again, and finally mentioned, "Since King Khan is dead, he sent his envoy Su De to the south, please take care of him."

Cao Yong sneered and put the letter down.

When it's time to ask for help, don't you mention the old saying about making Hang Seng the son of the world?
Mongols are still too straight.

Doesn't he know that there is a word called "to vent anger"?

Even if he doesn't come to write a letter to Cao Yong, Cao Yong will be willing to mix it up.

He put away the letter from Gelke Yanpil, got up and left the study.

After a while, the servant brought the horse over, and he urged the horse to Prince Zhuang's mansion.

Elder brother Sixteen was having a snack in the afternoon. When he saw Cao Yong coming, he ordered someone to make him a bowl of beef bone marrow oil tea.

Although the Cao Mansion also prepares tea soup, most of them are light almond tea and water chestnut tea, and seldom prepare oil tea.

Occasionally eat a bowl, it is also sweet.

After he finished eating, Elder Sixteen had already rinsed his mouth and hands, looked at him with a smile, and said, "I heard that your house is very lively today. There is a Mongolian convoy arriving? Why, there are many horses and people?"

"The sixteenth master also heard about it? There was a big commotion, and it was all given to Hang Seng by Ge Yanke Yanpile." Cao Yong said.

The sixteenth elder brother heard the words, his face became more and more joyful, and he said: "Furuo, I heard that Zhasaktu Khan died, and Ge Yanke Yanpile is about to inherit the throne, is it true that Heng Sheng's heir is also invited to be crowned? If we really want to build a mansion in Beijing, we really need manpower."

It would be great if it was really as optimistic as Brother Sixteen thought.

Cao Yong shook his head and said: "Ge Yanke Yan Pi Le's booklet has been handed over to the Li Fan Yuan, and it is true that he is waiting for the title, but I don't know if he has invited the crown prince."

Elder Sixteen couldn't help but look down upon hearing this, and said, "What do you mean? He didn't send you a confirmation letter."

Cao Yong nodded and said: "He never mentioned this matter in front of Hang Seng, and he didn't mention it at all in his letter."

Brother Sixteen frowned and said: "Could it be that he was negligent? Or is it a few years later, wait until Hang Seng reaches the crown? In other words, those people from Mongolia are not prepared for the purpose of building a mansion in Beijing."

He grew up in the palace, and his ability to figure out people's hearts is three points better than Cao Yong's.

After he finished these two sentences, his mind had almost changed, he stood up all of a sudden, gritted his teeth and said, "This is to break the promise!?"

"If you passed the papers handed over by the Li Fan Yuan, and didn't mention this matter, it's likely to break the promise." Cao Yong said helplessly.

"How could this be?" Elder Sixteen said, pounding his fist vigorously.

Da Gege is already 14 years old, and he is talking about getting married within two years. If there is a change in Hang Seng, maybe he will marry to Mongolia.

The emperor did not have a biological princess under his knees. After ascending the throne, he raised three nieces in the palace as adopted daughters. Among them, Liu Gege of the late Prince Limi's family had already engaged in marriage a few days ago and was going to get married at the end of the year.

Although Liugege was married to the grandson of King Horqin and did not build a princess mansion in the capital, she could live with her husband in the Mongolian palace in the capital.

In this way, Mongolia is not only appeased, but also does not have to suffer from the separation of flesh and blood.

Brother Sixteen and Brother Thirteen were very grateful when they heard the news.

They knew that the emperor set this precedent to sympathize with their daughter-loving hearts.With the precedent of Liugege, the remaining two princesses stayed in the capital, which would save a lot of gossip.

It's just that with the identities of several princesses, most of the ones who can be matched are the Mongolian kings and grandchildren who have the right to inherit, and the Mongolian kings and grandchildren in the capital have little choice.

Hang Seng was grown up under the watchful eye of Elder Sixteen, since he recognized Hang Seng, he naturally didn't pay attention to other people.

Cao Yong briefly described Hang Seng's encounters in Khalkha in the past few months, as well as the fact that Ge Yanke Yanpile favored Fujin.

"It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable, he really treats himself like a green onion, stirring up wind and rain in the capital!" Elder Sixteen couldn't hide his anger, and said agitatedly: "I'm going to send people to find Seventeenth Brother, since it is Through the papers submitted by the Lifan Academy, the Lifan Academy will keep the file. If he really wants to break his promise, we can't just watch."

He acted resolutely, fearing that others would not be able to explain clearly, so he sent Zhao Feng to Brother Seventeen's residence.

After Zhao Feng left, Brother Sixteen also calmed down and said: "Even if he doesn't mention it, it doesn't hinder anything. I will go directly to the imperial court to ask for an order. The emperor knows the identity of Hang Seng, so can the emperor still help me?" Others can't do it?"

Cao Yong was as annoyed as he was when he didn't see Brother Sixteen.

It can be seen that when Brother Sixteen was so annoyed, Cao Yong calmed down.

He was a little hesitant, did he really want to help Hang Seng fight for the position of the son?
Even if Hang Seng can start a family in the capital, if he inherits the title of King Khan, he will bring his children and grandchildren back to Khalkha one day.

Since there is no goodwill over there, how could he be willing to let Hang Seng go to that strange and distant place to face everything.

"Master Sixteen, have you ever thought that if Hang Seng is really going to be crowned son, even if he can stay in Beijing for a while, he will eventually return to Khalkha." Cao Yong asked.

The sixteenth elder brother couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "Ge Keyan Pile is only in his 30s, and he can live a good life for more than [-] years. By that time, there will be a group of Hang Seng children. Whether you go back to Khalkha by yourself, or It’s not our turn to worry about sending children back to Khalkha. Even parents can’t take care of them for the rest of their lives. As long as they can keep them healthy and happy for half of their lives, it’s up to them for the rest of their lives.”

Cao Yong deeply agrees, it seems that he is too worrying.

The 15-year-old Hang Seng needs his protection to protect him from the wind and rain; the 35-year-old Hang Seng will surely grow into a big tree.

After waiting for an hour, only the sixteenth brother was bored, Zhao Feng came back, and the seventeenth brother came with him.

Seeing this, Cao Yong hurriedly got up to pay his respects.

The seventeenth elder brother waved his hand and told Cao Yong to sit down. He found a chair opposite Cao Yong and sat down.

Elder Sixteen couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Seventeen, can you send someone to visit Li Fan Yuan?"

Elder Seventeen shook his head and said, "No, I'm afraid there will be troubles, so I went there myself."

"What did you write?" Sixteenth elder brother leaned forward, staring at seventeenth elder brother.

"Brother Sixteen and Fu Ruo are going to be disappointed." Elder Seventeen said, "Report the funeral, please attack. There is no word about the registration of the son."

"Fuck him!" Brother Sixteen couldn't help but swear.

Elder Seventeen hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother Sixteen, is he in a hurry? Ge Yanke Yanpile has a legitimate son, even if he wants to become a concubine, he must be famous. Maybe he wants to After attacking King Khan, we will plan this matter."

Brother Sixteen shook his head and said: "His two sons, the eldest son died three years ago, and the second son is now lame again, what else do we need to do?"

Elder Seventeen heard this and was also puzzled.

His news is not as good as Elder Sixteen's. He still doesn't know about the Mongolian convoy entering Cao's mansion at noon today.

Now I heard what Cao Yong and Brother Sixteen had said, but I was also speechless.

After talking for a while, it was time for dinner, so Elder Sixteen kept the two of them for dinner.

When he got home, Cao Yong talked to Chu Yu about the placement of those troops.

During the day, I thought they were tired from the journey, so I settled down first; but it is not appropriate to wait until I think about it now.

No matter what happens in the future, those hundreds of people and more than ten large cars are divided into three places, and each family has thirty or forty, a few large cars, whether it's the East Mansion or the left side, it's been a long time. will feel inconvenient.

"The Haidian garden is empty, and tomorrow I will ask someone to take them to the garden to resettle." Cao Yong said.

Chu Yu said: "That's fine. Anyway, before next spring, they won't live in the garden; wait until next spring, if it's really not possible, let them go to Changping Zhuangzi."

"Tomorrow, you can ask Hang Seng first. It's okay to be a slave. If a samurai wants to stay with him, let him keep a few. For the maid, let's forget it first. The inner house is full of women and children. It's not good if they don't know the basics. Let them enter lightly." Cao Yong said.

"En." Chu Yu responded, hesitated, and said, "Master, what about the forty horses? Are they all sent to the other side of the garden? The children are looking forward to it."

Cao Yong said: "Hang Seng distributes the horses, perhaps he has already allocated them in his heart..."

*
I don’t know what happened today, Sogou’s code word always skips lines, the code word is super awkward, it’s delayed until now to finish the code, hurry up tonight.In the last 22 hours, there was still a hundred votes short, so Xiao Jiu begged for a monthly ticket.
