Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1306 The New Book

Yi Duli was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, not only Cao Yong was surprised, but even the thirteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother were surprised.

Although he was first a governor and then a governor-general during the two years he was released, his political achievements were mediocre and there was really nothing to praise him for.If we talk about strengths, it is probably that he is not greedy for ink, does not seek business, and is in his prime of life.

In fact, at the rank of governor, as long as one is not too greedy, the filial piety in the officialdom can save a rich family fortune.

Those who are still dissatisfied and continue to reach out are nothing more than ambition and greed.

Ambition refers to wanting to use gold and silver as a stepping stone to further advance in the officialdom, while greedy refers to thinking that you have no shortage. What about children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren?

People's hearts are like this, and desires are hard to fill.

There are definitely not one or two local officials who fell on the governor's post.

The Yiergenjueluo family is a common surname in Manchuria, and Yiduli was born in the direct line of the family, with rich family resources; his mother is a noble daughter of the Eight Banners, with a generous dowry.Yi Duli was raised in a wealthy township, and he was not short of money, so he naturally disdained to scrape land like other local officials.

His brother-in-law is the thirteenth brother-in-law, the prime minister Wang minister, except for the emperor, he is No. 1 in the court.

This made it unnecessary for Yiduli to arrange for the children of the clan to camp in the middle of the capital like other governors. In addition to better understanding the dynamics of the court, it also had the meaning of preventing villains from slandering.

As for the relationship between him and the thirteenth elder brother, they are not only brother-in-law, but also in-laws, so he can't let go of his figure if he wants to curry favor with the thirteenth elder brother.

After all, in terms of respect, the thirteenth elder brother is respected in terms of status, and Yi Duli is inferior; in terms of relatives' seniority, his seniority is ahead of the thirteenth elder brother.

Although Yiduli's government affairs are mediocre, he is also considered diligent and has not made any mistakes. In addition, he has won the sacred heart of not being greedy for ink and not gaining money, and has long been noticed by Yongzheng.

This time, Yongzheng also thought about it after replacing Cao Yong with Yiduli and being promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War.

He knew Brother Thirteen's temperament, and he wanted to avoid suspicion most of all.

If he discusses with him, he will definitely choose another candidate in the name of Yiduli's mediocrity.Therefore, Yongzheng directly issued an order to Zhang Tingyu to directly disclose the news of Yiduli's promotion to the public.

Brother Thirteen's accident was unexpected, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The emperor's golden words, since the imperial decree has been issued, there is no room for change.

He was a little sorry for Cao Yong, but also had a vague guess.

The meaning of the emperor's appointment of Cao Yong as Minister of the Ministry of War earlier has been confirmed. If there is any reason for this change, it is Cao Yong's illness and bedridden.

Thirteen elder brothers have their own sources, and Cao Yong's symptoms and prescriptions are not secrets to him.

Others don't know, but he knows that if he, the emperor's elder brother, is ruthless and afraid of others when he is tired of something, he will treat others with his heart and lungs when he cares about someone.

I just don't know whether this sympathy is because of Cao Yong, or because of Li's affection...

Sitting there in the Yamen Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Brother Sixteen also frowned for a while, and laughed "hehe" for a while.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is a pity that Cao Yong lost the opportunity to be transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of War due to illness, but Brother Sixteen doesn't think so.

Cao Yong's age is there. It is a good thing to be the Minister of the Ministry two years earlier, and there will be no delay in the later two years.

It's just a temporary replacement. Is it because the emperor dislikes Cao Yong's weak health, or is he sincerely sympathetic to let him rest at ease, so as not to hinder his life?

For the former, the emperor changed his face too quickly, after all, he just gave the Cao family a new mansion a few days ago; for the latter, it shows that Cao Yong's family is stable, even if he misses other opportunities, there will be other opportunities.

And such a humane emperor, who can sympathize with Cao Yong now, will also sympathize with him as a younger brother in the future...

Elder Sixteen squinted his eyes, already made a decision in his heart.

It seems that in the future, I will have to get sick often...

A few days ago, he was jealous of the thirteenth elder brother eating the double salary of the prince, but since he received the grace and returned home proudly, the sixteenth elder brother also knew what cooking with fire and oil is.

This is a little bit out of the limelight.

Brother Sixteen was not a person who liked to show off at first, but he finally turned from smug to vigilant.

Although he has always been bright and safe, but in fact he holds both the clan mansion and the house of internal affairs. To the princes of the clan, his reputation is definitely no less than that of the thirteenth elder brother.

But starting from Emperor Taizu Gao, how many of the clan kings who have been prosperous have a good end?

Not to mention, the emperor is not a man of common sense, and it is not one or two who he spoiled first over the years, and then turned his face and dealt with them.

Thinking about the Seventeenth Elder Brother, who was so beautiful because of the emperor's high regard before, and now avoiding the mansion to "recover his illness", the reason is nothing but the emperor's change of mind.

Brother Sixteen was really a little scared.

He was not a greedy person, but now he was secretly lucky on the throne.

If it were someone else, maybe there is still hope, such as making meritorious deeds, getting a promotion, and so on.

But above the prince, there is no title to be promoted, and if he reaches the sky, he will eat the salary of the double prince.

How can there be such delicious food in the salary of the two princes?
Like the thirteenth brother, who only sleeps for two hours a day, the sixteenth brother thinks he can't do it...

Oddly, at the same moment, what Cao Yong thought and thought was almost the same as Brother Sixteen.

Cao Yong felt a little uncomfortable at the moment when he heard that Yi Duli was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War.

how to say?Although he was not very interested in serving as Minister of the Ministry of War in the early days, he knew that this lack was mostly his own. In order to avoid showing cowardice, he also took more opportunities to learn about military affairs in the Northwest these days.

I was fully prepared, and I waited for the transfer order to come down, but unexpectedly, I changed people.

Cao Yong is not a saint, how can he be as calm as water?
However, the loss in Cao Yong's heart did not last long, and he thought of the reason why the emperor "changed generals in battle".

He is not a person who is overestimated, and he is not like the thirteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother who think about the emperor's affection and compassion.

In his opinion, it was normal for the emperor to replace him after he fell ill.

The emperor didn't like the old and weak trend of the Minister of the Ministry of War. He was afraid of delaying the major event of the Western Expedition, so he had the heart to adjust Cao Yong, a young man, to take care of the Ministry of War.

If Cao Yong was sick and weak, the emperor would not need to change him.

Although the news of typhoid fever this time was a bit big, it may not be all bad things, not to mention other things, at least the impression of Cao Yong's "sickness" was imprinted in the hearts of the emperor and other princes and ministers.

It doesn't matter if you just stay in the office of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, now it is the fifth year of Yongzheng, and after another three or two years, God bless you when you are older, you can also use the excuse of "sickness" to retire.

Thinking of this, the haze in Cao Yong's heart was swept away, and he used two extra bowls of porridge for dinner that day...

Cao Yong, who had figured it out, stopped thinking about official duties and started his own recuperation life leisurely.

Although I got the news, there are several relatives and friends visiting Cao's mansion every day, but there are many Chuyu and Tianyou entertaining them, so Cao Yong doesn't need to worry too much.

However, there are some guests that Cao Yong needs to show up, such as Fu Nai, the servant of the Ministry of War.

He made a special trip to comfort Cao Yong.

Others don't know, but he is Cao Yong, who was appointed by Xiao Bingbu Shangshu earlier.

Unexpectedly, there is such a change now.

Fu Nai was afraid that Cao Yong's heart would be stagnant, so he explained it in a roundabout way.

Although he didn't speak much, the kindness in it was irresistible.

If it were someone else, he would be successfully reinstated as the Minister of the Ministry of War, but someone else would lose the Minister of the Ministry of War due to illness.

Several years of exile, although Fu Nai's appearance has aged, but his warm heart is still the same.

Cao Yong listened carefully, nodded, and said: "Uncle, don't worry, I can think about it. The household department and the military department are not considered high-ranking. Now I need to rest and recuperate. I shouldn't work too hard when I get well. I don't want to smear my eyes. In the Ministry of War, it is better to be in the Ministry of Households, after all, it is better to be familiar with it."

Cao Yong's expression was sincere, and his eyes were innocent. Fu Nai was stunned for a moment, stroked his beard and said, "It's fine if you think about it, if you think about it..."

Until he came out of Cao's mansion, Fu Nai was in a daze.

He remembered what happened when he was transferred to Shengjing's servant, and he secretly admired Cao Yong. With such honor and disgrace, Cao Yong really inherited Cao Yin's character...

*
Compared with the honor and disgrace of Cao Yong in the capital, Yi Duli, who received the imperial decree, was ecstatic.

When I was not out of Beijing earlier, I was envious of this and that, and I just felt comfortable in the place.

But when I really got to the place, I couldn't think about the capital.

After all, he is a native of Beijing.

It's not just him, the old lady, Zhao Jia's, and the children are all talking about life in the capital.

Fortunately, others said that the old lady was getting old, and Yi Duli didn't want the old man to get sick just because she missed the capital.

If he was another official, he could still move around in the capital and be transferred back to the capital; but he is a provincial parent, and his stay depends on the emperor's will, so how can he move a step if he wants to?

He already had a decision in his heart, and wrote to his eldest son, asking him to come to Shanxi next year to bring the old lady back to the capital.

Even if he couldn't serve day and night, the old lady's mood would be better when she was beside her eldest grandson and returned to the familiar scholar's house.

If the children want to go back, they can also go back with the old lady, but the wife is not easy to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this time, he unexpectedly received an imperial edict to transfer him back to Beijing, and he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War. How could Yi Duli not be ecstatic.

It is a happy event to be promoted from the first rank to the second rank, and it is even more joyful to make up for the Ministry of War.

Before he was released to Shanxi, he worked as a servant in the Ministry of War, so he was familiar with the place.

Even the normally calm old lady couldn't help saying "Amitabha" when she heard the news that her son was transferred back to Beijing.

Zhao Jia's joy is beyond words.

The happiest one is Yiduli's concubine, Yang Shi, who has two daughters who will participate in the draft.The two girls are both mother-in-law and good-looking, and their sisters have to participate in the draft. Even if they don't match the nobles, they marry independently, and their father has a high official position, and their marriage will be better.

Thinking of her daughter, Yang couldn't help being angry.

Because the eldest daughter was brought up by Mrs. Zhao Jia, she was very alienated from her aunt when she was young.

Fortunately, I had a little daughter again, and finally stayed with her to grow up...

Khan, there are guests at home, they stayed for a long time, and the update is late again.
