Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1263
Although it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, Cao Yong is not willing to tolerate it blindly.

However, if it is too fast and too focused, it is better to wait for the calm outside.

Sister Zhuang has already returned to her hometown, sold half of the land in the family, collected a few hundred taels of silver, and begged her cousin Zhuang Yanping to come to Beijing to manage it.It's not that there are no other male relatives, but it's because I'm afraid that the Cao family will not recognize him, and it's because my cousin and the Cao family are still on good terms.

How did Zhuang Yanping know that after he took a step ahead, there would be such a big commotion in the capital, and even alarmed the yamen.It's not that he didn't notice the greedy heart of Sister Zhuang and his wife, but because of the idea that one thing more is worse than one thing less, he watched coldly for a long time without trying to dissuade him.

When he returned to the capital, he was really ashamed and ashamed, and he apologized when he saw Cao Yong.

Cao Yong knew that the matter had nothing to do with him, so naturally he would not blame him, and still greeted him politely. .

Zhuang Yanping also knows how to measure, and he didn't intercede for brother-in-law Chai ignorantly.

The several hundred taels of silver are also entrusted by others to be loyal, and I just hope that they will be handed over to the river worker, so that Brother Chai will not suffer more hardships on the river worker and spend these years safely.

On Niu Niu's side, she treated her cousin as usual and showed no resentment, which made Zhuang Yanping quite emotional.After all, she was raised in a family compound, and she behaved gracefully, much better than the other two cousins.

Such a pitiful person must have something to hate. If the two cousins ​​were quieter, and the sisters walked closer together, they would benefit even with their children; became an enemy.

Niuniu is tolerant enough if she doesn't throw trouble, but it's foolish to try to excuse her again, this is nothing but nothing.

At the end of May, everyone in the Cao Mansion still went to Changchun Garden.

Niuniu went back to Cao's house to live in the opposite month, and also lived in Cao's garden with Chuyu.

Although there were twists and turns in the lawsuit, and he had "rested" for more than half a month, his complexion was rosy, and the youthfulness of a girl faded from his brows and eyes, giving him a bit of femininity.

Li Shi and Chu Yu are people who have been there, and they see that Niu Niu's life is "moisturized", and they are happy for their young couple to get along with each other.

Others feel differently.

Tianhui was a little sentimental. Although she and Niuniu were not in the same generation, they grew up together, and their relationship was no less than that of blood relatives.Now my little aunt has only been married for a month, but it seems like they have been apart for a year.

The little aunt who has become a woman has lost the leisure of a daughter in the boudoir, and seems to have matured all of a sudden, talking to her parents about her family's shortcomings.

Cao Yong's mood was very complicated, a little sour, he always felt that the girl he brought up was inferior to that boy Wei Wenzhi; he also felt that he was worthy of Wei Xin by marrying Wei Xin, and he was very at ease.

It's not that he is boasting, let alone Niu Niu's second daughter-in-law in the Wei family, she is qualified to be the eldest daughter-in-law in any high-ranking family.

It was also sour, but Tianyou and Hang Seng were much more straightforward, they directly framed Wei Wenzhi and forced him to death.

If there is neither soft nor hard during the banquet, it is not like a nephew to an "uncle", but more like a brother-in-law to a brother-in-law.Looking at that posture, in the future, whenever Wei Wenzhi feels sorry for Niuniu, he must be careful to wait on him.

This is already a cliché, and Wei Wenzhi had already received this kind of education long before Niu Niu came out of the cabinet.

Seeing the two "nephews" repeating the old story, Wei Wenzhi couldn't laugh or cry, and counted in his heart very unkindly, how many elder brothers there are in Prince Zhuang's mansion, and how many elder brothers are in Prince Jian's mansion.

Then he comforted himself, the two boys in front of him don't need to be complacent, if you really talk about the number and toughness of the brother-in-law, he is the least, haha.

Tianyou was already on duty in the palace, although he was only a third-class guard, but because he was in front of the imperial court, his relatives and friends were very respectable.

Although Hang Seng was also a bodyguard in the inner class, but because he was ordered to accompany Hongli, the two brothers were not often seen in the garden.Fortunately, the two of them often take a break to take a bath. When they don't take a break, they are only on duty for two hours a day, and they have to be free at other times.

Hang Seng had been walking in the palace for a long time, and he was more familiar with his colleagues in the bodyguard office. He led him, and Tianyou quickly integrated into the bodyguard office.

For the sake of keeping filial piety, Prince Hongxi of Li County has been in mourning for the past few years. It was not until March when he was full of filial piety that he received an errand from the Ministry of Rites and walked in front of the imperial court.

And from March onwards, the most busy thing for the Ministry of Rites was the wedding of the fourth elder brother Hongli.

Hang Seng was a servant of Hongli, and had also met King Lijun twice.

In his impression, this Prince Li was about the same age as his father, treated others warmly and politely, and had no airs of a prince at all.

Talking with Hongli, he not only has the honesty of the elder brother, but also abides by the etiquette of the minister.For other clans to be like this, such an attitude is exactly what should be done; but when Hongxi does it, it always makes people look sideways.

After all, he is the grandson of the holy ancestor, the son of Prince Limi, and his status is embarrassing. If he is far away from everyone, it will be easier for each other to be at ease.

No matter what you think in your heart, the two cousins, Hongli and Hongxi, seem to be in harmony on the surface, but they seem to be a little closer than other clan relatives.

Hong Zhou, on the other hand, has never been a liar for others. Every time he meets Hong Xi and Hong Li who look good, he can't help complaining afterwards: "Fourth brother, why do you want to see him pretending? Who do you think he is?" If you are a fool, why should you be so humble for a county king? If you don’t know it, you will say that we are arrogant, regardless of the seniority and inferiority, and suppress him, the eldest grandson of the holy ancestor."

Hongli just smiled and said nothing.

Because the fourth elder brother's wedding was scheduled for July, Sheng Jia moved back to the palace in early July.

Miyagi, which was originally quiet, became lively because of Shengjia's return.

As a clan, Hongxi is also an official of the Ministry of Rites, working with the clan's house and the House of Internal Affairs to be busy with Hongli's wedding, and the ban on entering and leaving the palace has become more and more frequent.

Slowly, he realized that something was wrong.

The originally respectful guards and palace servants became cautious and cautious in front of him, and they seemed to be holding on, so they didn't seem to avoid him.

Hongxi was inexplicably astonished, and reflected on whether he had acted improperly recently, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.He neither had disputes with anyone, nor punished or dealt with his servants, why did he scare everyone like this?
Not only did the attitudes of the guards and palace servants change, but the fourth uncle on the dragon chair also looked at him inquiringly.

Hongxi felt as if she had been stripped of her clothes, and had nowhere to hide under that cold gaze.

He was frightened and uneasy, and after careful inquiry, he learned a frightening news.

"The holy ancestor once had a will to make the emperor's grandson his heir", "the "Records of the Li Dynasty" once recorded that the holy ancestor used the emperor's grandson as his heir in his later years, and received the envoys of the subordinate countries", "the holy ancestor personally educated the emperor's grandson , the wife is a princess and daughter, and she has the heart to choose as the heir"...

No matter what kind of statement it is, they stick to the words "the emperor's grandson".

In the 80 years since the Manchus entered the customs, Confucianism has become the legal orthodoxy enshrined by the Manchus.

Although Hongxi was born as a side concubine, she was raised under the name of her aunt, and she is also of the lineage of Prince Limi.Compared with his uncles, he took advantage of his father's honor to occupy the title of a grandson.

In his heart, he may not have been proud of his identity; but when he was pierced in front of the world, it only made him feel uneasy.

This title of grandson will kill people.

He wished he could run to the imperial court right away, confess his love, and show that he was very careful, but that was too deliberate, and might arouse the fear of the person on the dragon chair; he wanted to do nothing and wait for the calm, but rumor But it got worse and worse.

In addition to the words of those holy ancestors who wanted to make him his heir, new rumors came out in a few days.

This time, he has more nose and eyes, and it's all a secret matter in Prince Li's mansion.

The main mansion of Lijun Prince's Mansion is in Panggezhuang, Changping. There is no mansion in Beijing, but a garden in Haidian.Before the release of the server, Hongxi had been keeping filial piety in Changping Palace, and only moved to Haidian Palace in March.

Because of Prince Limi, and the distance from the capital, everyone is unfamiliar with Prince Lijun's Mansion.

This time, everyone is getting familiar with Lijun Palace through gossip.

What set up six divisions in imitation of six ministries, set up a small dynasty by itself, what advisers are like stars, generals are like clouds, what kind of private soldiers of the palace are thousands of people, all of them are young and strong from the Eight Banners...

Everyone has a heart to follow, when the "secret" of the Lijun Prince's Mansion is revealed, even the past events related to Hong Xi's early years are also revealed.

Holding his identity in the upper study room, he bullied the uncles whose biological mothers were not visible; it was not considered respectful to treat the deceased aunt, who once killed the maid given by the aunt, and so on.

With such a stark contrast, those who thought Hongxi was modest and polite in the past also believed that he was hypocritical and cunning, and deliberately put on airs.

The rumors became more and more intense, and the statements became more and more straightforward, and it was almost impossible to directly say that Hongxi had a heart of disobedience.

Hongxi was terrified and suspicious, but he was so devastated that he didn't dare to act rashly.Because, he suspected, it was the one on the dragon chair who couldn't accommodate him, so he arranged this trip.

He didn't dare to make extravagance, and he was afraid of backfire, so he could only bite the bullet and endure.

But he didn't know that what he suffered was completely self-inflicted.

At the beginning of the rumor, it was just an extra mouthful of a guard of the county prince's mansion while eating wine outside.Naturally, it happened that there were guards from several other palaces in Beijing during this drunken dinner.

So, within a few days, Hongxi changed from a gentle and modest county king to a "rebellious king" who harbored wolfish ambitions.

The people who feel the most refreshed are of course the Cao family and his son.

"Words are like knives. There is a precedent for this. You should also have a longer memory, so as not to fall behind and be beaten by someone with a knife." At this time, Cao Yong did not forget to teach his son, and said this to Tianyou and Hang Seng.

Both Tianyou and Hang Seng were taught with ease.

Although the three father and son differed in the details of pursuing Hongxi, they all chose to "go ashore" by coincidence, and they did not intend to add insult to injury at all.

Now that things have happened, no matter whether it is Hong Xi's law-abiding or restless, there is a grudge in Yongzheng's heart.Which emperor can allow himself to have a more legitimate heir to the throne than himself.

Especially the concubine brother Yongzheng who was raised under the name of his aunt, he was proud of his identity with a bit of inferiority, and he couldn't tolerate a "grandson" like Hong Xi.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the servant has been swung out of the door.

With a dark face, Yongzheng threw the folder in his hand on the imperial case.The thirteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother stood in front of the imperial case, and they were a little cautious...
