Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1310 Rendezvous

When Naersu's son of "replacing the lord" came to Beijing, Yongzheng was so surprised that he was not so surprised, but the princes of the clan were taken aback.

Naersu is not the first prince of the royal family to "resign his title to his illness", but most of those people have errands, and because they are old, sick and weak, they are afraid of delaying their errands, so they give up their errands. into.

Nobility is passed on to descendants, mostly after death, and rarely during lifetime.Occasionally, it is mostly due to the fault of the parents that the sons and grandchildren are allowed to step down in advance, which can be regarded as a decent step down.

Although Naersu was not liked by the emperor, did he reach the point of "giving up the title"?
Among the clan, Prince Ping's Mansion is also considered an alternative.

Although he is a descendant of Prince Li Lie, he is not as close as the royal family to the other two palaces of the same lineage.

Both Naerfu and his father, Naersu, became the parenting palace, and the generation of the eldest son Fu Peng fell, and this place is no exception.

Even though the current emperor is afraid of other clans except for a few siblings, he still treats Prince Ping's eldest son Fu Peng very favorably.

Paradoxically, there is nothing good or bad about Narsu.

If you say you are not good to him, you mention his title; if you say you are good to him, you let him go to Shengjing.

But Naersu's gift to the nobleman is really a big deal.

After all, Prince Ping's Mansion is different from other mansions. Fu Peng has already been formally canonized as the prince's son and received an annual salary.

If Fu Peng Ruozhen now inherits the title of prince, then the prince's salary will naturally be gone.

That is 6000 taels of silver per year, plus [-] shilumi, plus other divisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, that is [-] taels of silver per year.

It's not just that his salary has been reduced by one share, but Naersu will never have the chance to go to court again.

Normally, he can still wear the clothes of the prince. Except for the emperor, he is at most ordinary when meeting other people, but the positions of the assistant leader of the world, the meeting of the king and ministers, and the great court will be taken over by Fu Peng.

Naersu is in his prime, how can he not be eye-catching with such a decisive decision?
It's hard for someone to speculate whether there is something unspeakable about Naersu, maybe the person on the dragon chair did something to force him.

After all, if the emperor became mean, it would be unbearable.

Even honest old ministers like Tian Congdian were forced to resign from office, and it is entirely possible to be merciless towards Naersu.

Even Tianyou and Hang Seng began to worry, fearing that there was really something wrong with Prince Ping's Mansion.

Cao Yong got the news, but he was relieved.

Ever since he knew that the Northwest War was starting again, he began to worry about Naersu.

Naersu once served as the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition Army, and he is a rare leader among the clan princes.

Unexpectedly, the relationship between him and Fourteenth Elder Brother was not clear. First, he accompanied Fourteenth Elder Brother to study, and he served as Fourteenth Elder Brother's deputy during the Western Expedition.

Even if he didn't stand in line, the emperor didn't feel worried about using him.

Right now, the Northwest is still playing small fights, and when the Eight Banners army is dispatched, there must be princes and princes to fight.Even though Naersu has self-knowledge, but he still has a red flag behind him, who knows if someone will push the flames and recommend Naersu.

In the period of history that Cao Yong knew, Naersu was deprived of his title when Yongzheng was firmly seated on the throne because of his close contacts with the fourteenth elder brother.

Right now, it's pretty good, but it's just idle, and it doesn't mean to seize the title and confine it.

Neersu took the initiative to take a step back, which was not a bad thing for himself or for Prince Ping's mansion.

Just when countless people were thinking about the emperor's handling of this book, Yongzheng came to stay and didn't say anything, which made everyone feel itchy, but there was nothing they could do about it.

On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, the official office in the capital "seals the pen".

Jiang Jian and Zuo Cheng two, organized the official affairs of the household department this month and the big and small things inside the Yamen into a book, and sent them to Cao Yong.

Tianyou happened to be taking a rest, and Zuo Cheng went to the sunflower courtyard to talk to Tianyou after seeing Cao Yong.

Jiang Jian stayed behind and praised Zuo Cheng to Cao Yong: "Looking at the two brothers earlier, I only thought that the elder brother was more stable and the second young master was a little frivolous. But I didn't expect that the second young master didn't need to give way when he was doing errands. Willing to work hard. Although he is not very old, he is flexible and tactful. Even if he is the adopted son of an adult, he never shows his identity in front of others, nor does he use his identity to show off in the yamen, and he gets along very well with his colleagues.

Cao Yong said with a smile: "His temperament is a bit like his father's. Back then, his father was also very popular wherever he went."

Jiang Jian said: "Looking at the appearance of the thirteenth master, he is very fond of the second young master. He once asked the second young master to talk to him. At present, few people in the yamen know that the second young master is the righteous son of an adult, so they speculate whether the second young master is the same as the thirteenth master. The master has relatives, so he fell from the Ministry of punishment to the Ministry of household at a young age, and it was written in the middle hall. After all, the second young master has a full surname, which is the same as that of the thirteenth master's natal family. Really like a nephew."

After hearing this, Cao Yong knew exactly what to do.

In the early years, Zuo Zhu and Zuo Chengdu, together with Hang Seng and Tianyou, followed Cao Yong to the Thirteenth Brother's Mansion to ask for peace. The Thirteenth Brother really paid attention to the two brothers.

Not only because of Cao Yong, but also because of their aunt Niu Colu's family.

There were seven sisters in Fujin in the thirteenth year. The eldest sister married into Niu Gulu's natal family, so she was Niu Gulu's aunt.

Before getting married, the Thirteenth Fujin used to visit Niu Gulu's house with her elder sister, and had a deep personal relationship with Niu Gulu, who was about the same age, until she married into the palace, her eldest sister died of illness, and the two of them had less communication.

Niu Gulu's family wore red and swallowed gold, and died tragically. Thirteenth Fujin was even sad.

After knowing the backgrounds of Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng, Thirteen Fujin became more interested in the two brothers.Seeing that the two brothers were sensible and well-behaved, Thirteen Fujin was quite pleased.

After Zuozhu and Zuocheng brothers returned to the clan last year, they also went to Niu Gulu's house to pay their respects.

Niu Gulu's father has passed away, but his mother is still alive. Although his grandson was not born to his daughter, he still loves him somewhat sincerely.

When Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng got married, some elders from Niu Gulu's family also went to have a feast; when Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng brothers took the bride to pay their respects to the old lady, the old lady also prepared generous gifts.

And because of their brothers, Niu Gulu's family had contacts with Cao's family.

Tianyou made several colleagues and friends at the bodyguard, and one of them was a child of Niu Gulu's family.

"Although their brothers are not close to our family, with the help of Niu Gulu's family, they can gain a foothold in the Eight Banners as soon as possible." Cao Yong said with emotion.

He also wanted to cover the little ones under his wings to shelter them from the wind and rain like protecting chickens, but the world is not just the Cao family, the children will eventually grow up.

In the eyes of the Eight Banners Manchuria, the Cao family is not considered their own. No matter what title Cao Yong gave first, the Cao family was married to several royal houses.

It's also funny to say, they pick on Cao's family's low birth, and they all expect to be married to the clan.

The clan would rather choose the real power of the Cao family than the so-called Eight Banners big families who put on empty airs.

In the eyes of the clan, whether it is a big family in the Eight Banners or a coat, they are all slaves, and there is not much difference.

The Zuozhu and Zuocheng brothers are different from the Cao family. They are Manchus, and they travel more to Manchuria than the Eight Banners, which is more helpful to the future...

Kuiyuan, go to the room.

Zuo Cheng was holding a cup of milk tea and was drinking it happily.

Seeing him enjoying himself so much, Tianyou couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you also copy the prescription from Hang Seng? Why are you so greedy?"

Cao's family didn't drink milk tea in the early days, but after Hang Seng opened the mansion, some of the servants from Khalkha were good at making milk tea.Tianyou and the others went and thought it was delicious, so they all memorized the recipe and came back.

In the cold winter months, drinking a cup of thick milk tea is more comfortable than drinking other teas.

Now in the Cao Mansion, except for Mrs. Li who is still not used to drinking, the other masters all use milk tea instead of tea.

Zuo Cheng drank a few mouthfuls of milk tea, put down the cup, and said, "Although the fishy smell has gone, it still smells like milk when it's hot. I asked someone to cook it for a while, and before I could drink it, Zhu vomited several times. No. She can't smell this, so I don't let anyone cook it anymore."

Tianyou listened with a smile, and said: "You are considerate, brothers and sisters are lucky, count the days, you will be a father in a few months..."

Zuo Cheng sighed, and said: "I'd rather the Zhu family get pregnant later... My sister-in-law is a little anxious, Aunt Ma also invited Guanyin..."

Tianyou pondered for a moment, and said: "It's only been a year, Zuo Zhu has a good temper, so he won't say anything. My aunt is also good-tempered, she won't be picky, and the older brothers and sisters are too impatient..."

Just as the two were saying this, a servant girl came in to report.

The second door sent a message, and the steward of Zuo Cheng's family came over, saying that there was an urgent matter to find Zuo Cheng.

Hearing this, Zuo Cheng stood up all of a sudden.

Obviously, the matter is not small, otherwise he would not have chased after Cao's house.

The yamen is on holiday, Zuo Zhu accompanied his wife to Yue's house, but there is still Tian family at home, if it is a small matter, it will not cause trouble to Cao's house.

Thinking about it this way, Tianyou also followed Xuanxin, and walked quickly to the front yard with Zuo Cheng.

The one who came was Zuo Cheng's housekeeper, not the son of Cao's family, but he was also separated from Cao's house, and was Zuo Cheng's long-term follower in his early years.

The butler looked eager, but nothing else.

Seeing this, Zuo Cheng felt at ease.

The housekeeper greeted Cao Yong first, and then said to Zuo Cheng: "Second Master, the old lady of the family sent someone to report the funeral, and the fourth wife is gone..."

Zuo Cheng heard this, and said in surprise: "Okay, why did it disappear? Isn't the fourth wife's delivery date approaching and she is waiting at home, why did she disappear?"

The housekeeper replied: "I heard that it was difficult labor. A girl was born, but the fourth wife did not survive. The old lady asked someone to ask the two masters to help with the funeral. The uncle has just returned, and the eldest grandmother has gone Yes, the wife sent the little one over to report to the second master..."

When Zuo Cheng heard the words "difficult delivery", he couldn't care less about the details of the fourth wife's death, and his heart was already heavy.

But Tianyou could tell something was wrong, even if the fourth wife was gone, there was still Yongliang, so there was no need for two nephews to take care of the funeral.

But right now is not the time to delve into this matter, as the Fourth Wife died of illness at home years ago, and there are elders in the family, most of them cannot stay at home, and most of them have to move out before the New Year's Eve.

Today is the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, and the first seven days are the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Stay at home for up to seven days.

In this way, the funeral will become more complicated and urgent.

Zuo Cheng didn't make a fool of himself, he asked Tianyou to plead guilty to his stepfather and stepmother, and left with the housekeeper...
