Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1307 Out of Control
It was really sick, even though Cao Yong felt that her body was fine, but the typhoid fever made her lie down completely.
In the past half month, several major events have occurred in the official circles of the capital.

The first is the Hall of Supreme Harmony to test the world's martial arts, the second is the veteran official Tian Congdian died of illness on the second day after leaving Beijing, and the third thing is that the emperor has an order that the banner members are sent out as officials, and the above-mentioned children are not allowed to accompany them. If he is currently in office, the flag will be withdrawn.

Poor in culture and rich in martial arts, the way of Wu Jinshi has always been the way for the children of the Eight Banners to get promoted.

The Han people won the Wu Jinshi, but they went to the local area to become a thousand generals; if the children of the Manchurian and Han armies were won the Wu Jinshi, those who went up to the three banners could enter the bodyguard office, and those who went down to the five banners could also work as errands in the guard barracks and pioneer camps.

Therefore, even if there are not more people paying attention than Wenju, there are indeed many.

Unexpectedly, when Wu Jinshi came out, the emperor changed the rules over the years. Although the Wu Jinshi of Shangsanqi still entered the guard's office, it could be said that he had no experience, but Lan Ling's guards began to practice.

The guards of the first, second and third ranks are the third, fourth, and fifth ranks, and they still have the opportunity to enter the internal squad and be on duty in front of the imperial court; Lan Ling is only a sixth rank, and does not enter the internal squad.

The impact on the future of the Manchu and Mongolian Wu Jinshi is not a little bit.

This time, not one family or two were affected, but no one dared to ask Yongzheng about anything in the book, but nagging and dissatisfaction in private were indispensable.

When Mr. Tian Congdian became an official, he gave a banquet and a couplet, and when he left Beijing, he was also sent off by hundreds of officials, what a sight.

Who could have imagined that after only two days of glory, and less than a hundred miles away from Beijing, the boss would die.

On the emperor's side, one of the cabinet bachelors and one of the attendant bachelors were sent to Liangxiang to attend his funeral, one of the ministers of rank and six of the guards offered tea and wine, and they were given funerals and posthumous posthumous titles.

In this way, Tian Congdian can be regarded as mourning after death.

But Ai Rong is Ai Rong after all, and there were not one or two ministers of Han who secretly sighed.

The bannermen are fine, they still live in Beijing for the elderly after they become official, and they don’t need to go back home for thousands of miles.

If Tian Congdian hadn't retired in winter, and if the emperor hadn't immediately approved the retirement script and ordered a banquet to see him off, the boss would have gone so early?
Although in terms of age, the old man is already 77, but since he was still able to go to the government office to handle government affairs before he became an official, and he was still able to work in the imperial court, it can be seen that his health is not bad.

That's it.

Even if you become an official, you will not have this result when you return home slowly in March in Yangchun.

Banner members were not allowed to take the above-mentioned children to the post, which also caused many people to slander.

It is not uncommon to bring family members and children to the post.

Parents and children, nephews and family nephews are all trusted by officials.Sometimes, if it is not convenient for officials to come forward, their nephews can come forward on their behalf. Even if there is something wrong, it is just a sentence of lax discipline.

Who doesn't know about these tricks in officialdom.

The emperor's move, in the name of Jia En, allowed the children of officials above to stay in Beijing as errands, which also cut off a way of making money for the bannermen.

In addition, those uncles who think that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and domineering in the local area, also have to weigh it. If they want to reach out again, there is no "young and ignorant" or "young and frivolous" nephew to shield them.

The series of these three things seems to be more and more true to Yongzheng's name of "gracious and ruthless".

For the Cao family, these three things had little effect.

Whether it is Yongzheng's reform of the rules of Wu Jinshi's entry into the bodyguard office, or the prohibition of bannermen from taking adult children to the post, Cao Yong is in favor of it in his heart.

Martial arts and liberal arts are the same, and they are taken every three years. Among the Wu Jinshi on the list, although the proportion of Shangsanqi is not large, it is not one or two.

Then, there are quotas for the guards at the guards.

When one goes in, one is released.

In order to make way for these new Jinshi, the old guards must be released.

Most of the partial guards are young and of high rank, and they have to be promoted to a higher level when they are sent out. The number of official vacancies to choose from is limited, and there must be a series of changes to transfer one person.

As far as the emperor is concerned, those meritorious children who are on duty in front of the imperial court have more benefits than those who are born as martial arts scholars, and it is easier to win over and check and balance the Eight Banners.

Cao Yong couldn't help sighing twice about Tian Congdian's death.

I really don't know how to say these ministers are good, maybe it's ten years of hard work, and thousands of troops have passed the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination.

Look at those high-ranking Manchurians, except for those who are university scholars and are not easy to retire, most of the other ministers and ministers start to serve after sixty. If they really win the Sacred Heart, they will stay for a few years; Just go home and retire leisurely.

Although Xia Tian Congdian is equal to him now, but after all, he was his boss, and having such a relationship in the officialdom is considered to be deeper than others.

It's just that when Tian Congdian died of illness, it was the time when Cao Yong's illness was the most serious, and he was unable to hang sacrifices in person, so he asked Cao Xiang to hang sacrifices on his behalf.

Cao Xiang was the bachelor who was ordered to take care of Tian Congdian's funeral, and he was ordered to go to Liangxiang to take care of Tian Congdian's funeral.

The eldest son of Tian Congdian is deceased, and there is only a young son with a weak crown by his side, unable to preside over such a big event.

Cao Xiang stayed in Liangxiang for five days. After Tian Congdian's "first seven days", his coffin returned to his hometown before returning to Beijing to return to his life.

At this time, after several days of recuperation, Cao Yong's spirit has improved a lot.

After Cao Xiang came over, Cao Yong rarely asked about Tian Congdian's funeral.

"Brother, I have seen it. What is it that people go to drink tea? Liangxiang and the capital are only sixty miles away. Even if I can't get there, it doesn't take much trouble to send my son, nephew and servant to perform the sacrifice. There are very few. The eldest brother is still kind, even though he has not had much contact with Tian Congdian and is ill, he still does not forget the sacrifice." Cao Xiang sighed.

Cao Yong was a little surprised when he heard this, and said: "Could it be that Mr. Tian's funeral is deserted?"

After all, in this era, people in the world pay more attention to red things than white things. Moreover, Tian Congdian is still a senior official in the official position. Liangxiang is close to the capital, so it shouldn't be too deserted.

Cao Xiang has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is no longer the old Amon.

Seeing that his cousin couldn't think of the reason for a while, Cao Xiang said: "If other adults are like this, they wouldn't be so deserted. Not only is Tian Congdian upright, he rarely has friends in official circles, and more importantly, his descendants are withered. The eldest son died of illness without heirs, and the youngest son was only in his teens and had no fame... After Tian Congdian left, the Tian family had no follow-up in the officialdom, and those people were not willing to bother, save this money, and eat two extra meals of wine It's also good..."

After Cao Yong heard it, he still didn't understand, but he really had nothing to say.

The world is more utilitarian, and he Cao Yong is no exception, but what he seeks is not the interests of official relations, but something else.

He asked his cousin to hang the sacrifice on his behalf, just thinking about being polite and not violating his "honest" name.

Compared with those ministers who are not even willing to be perfunctory, his secretive selfishness is not noble.

Seeing that his cousin was depressed, Cao Xiang thought it was because of Tian Congdian's injustice, and hurriedly said, "Actually, it's not as serious as I said. Although there were not many people in Beijing who went to sacrifice, the local officials have arrived. The emperor has When the decree comes down, when Mr. Tian's coffin arrives in Shanxi, there will be no neglect there, and there will always be a grand funeral."

Cao Yong knew that his cousin had misunderstood, but he didn't explain, just nodded and said: "It's very good..."

After Laba, Cao Yong's symptoms recurred again, and his mental head, which had improved, was also sluggish.

But just as Chen Taiyi said, he suffered too much in the past, and this typhoid fever caused many symptoms, the most obvious being coughing. After 300 years, it was just pneumonia caused by a cold, not a serious illness; But at that time, in the words of the imperial physician, it was "tuberculosis", which was a serious illness.

In this way, it is more confirmed that Cao Yong's body is "sick and weak".

Chu Yu's eye circles were never broken, and she waited on her clothes in a daze; Mrs. Li had already eaten a long meal, and donated sesame oil money to several temples.

The children were also worried. Brothers Hang Seng and Zuo Zhu came to report every day, and even the pregnant Niuniu came back twice.

All the people turned around Cao Yong.

There is even a lot of talk outside, and someone has even vaguely mentioned when the Hubu Shangshu will be vacant.

Cao Yong's later generations suffered from pneumonia, and he didn't take it seriously at first, and he often didn't forget to comfort his family.

It can be seen that everyone is bearing pain and sorrow, and Cao Yong's mood is gradually infected and becomes irritable.

This is not the 21st century, where a cold and pneumonia can be cured within a few days of infusion; this is an era 300 years ago, when cold and pneumonia were major symptoms.

Could it be that once I was reborn, I just worked hard for 20 years, and then died after catching a cold?

I have always lacked a sense of security. In order to live a good life, I worked hard. I didn't expect that the monarchy and political strife didn't hurt him at all, but he was tossed to death by a cold.

Cao Yong's heart was disturbed, and his mood became agitated.

Seeing his wife and children surrounded him, he also felt annoyed, and drove them all out of the house.

Although Chuyu and Tianyou were worried about Cao Yong, they didn't dare to go against his will, for fear of angering him at this time.

But let him stay alone emotionally unstable, and the mother and son are not at ease.

After thinking about it, Chu Yu ordered her son to invite Brother Sixteen to come over.

Brother Sixteen came here yesterday, and after listening to Tianyou's words, he came directly with him without any delay.

Cao Yong sat on the kang, his eyes were straight, and his mind was wandering.

He is only in his 30s, and he has never enjoyed the retirement life of raising flowers and birds. If he just left like this, he would really be unwilling.

He didn't know if he regretted it, why he was greedy for the Cao family's power and career in the officialdom, if he had wanted to start a business earlier, if he had gone abroad earlier, would his health be guaranteed?
And the sword he blocked for Kangxi back then, how much sincerity was there, how much calculation was there?
I am used to pretending to be "pure and good", and I have to believe that I am kind, but in fact, he has a lot of blood on his hands over the years.

If there is cause and effect in the world, how can he have a good death?
Li family still has Changsheng, Chuyu has children, Tianyou and Hengsheng have wives to help, Tianhui and Tianbao have elder brothers to rely on, it seems that none of them can do without him...
