Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1318 Discipline
A book of Buddhist scriptures is familiar to Yongzheng, the emperor who has worshiped Buddha for decades.

Without the company of these Buddhist scriptures, he would not have been able to restrain his impetuosity when he was young, and safely survive the turmoil of Kowloon's seizure of the throne.

But for the prince who grew up in the deep palace, where can he devote himself to the Buddha?
If he really had no desires or desires, he wouldn't be on the Ninth Five-Year Plan now, either he would have been calculated to become a bone scum, or he would be a mediocre idle clan.

The forbearance in it is indescribable.

Just like those concubines in the deep palace, they are extremely pious in front of the Buddha, but they can't hide their desire and insidiousness, and all kinds of harsh methods emerge in endlessly for the emperor's favor.

Cao Yong is different.

Not only was he the eldest son, but he was also the only son for a long time, and was raised by the elders like a baby egg.

Even though he suffered a little from writing when he was young, he didn't change his temper, and still developed a honest and responsible character.

When he was young, he used to stay in the monastery for mourning, and he also had a half-brother who became a monk, and he himself didn't care about women's power.

The king should be wary of courtiers who are too ambitious; courtiers who are too unambitious will also cause headaches for the king.

He didn't point Cao Yong as Minister of the Ministry of War, he was sympathetic to his ministers, just because Cao Yong was still young, he didn't want to order Cao Yong harshly, he wanted to let him take care of himself.

Cao Yong's age is placed there, and he is a courtier who can be left to the next emperor.

Cao Yong is going to pay homage to the Buddha with all his heart. Didn't the court lose a useful minister?

There are very few officials like Cao Yong who are diligent and not greedy for ink.

Even if there are occasional people like Tian Wenjing, who is obviously the governor, and there is no shortage of money to support him, but he still puts on a shabby face and seeks fame.

Yongzheng boasted that his eyes were as bright as a torch, so how could he be deceived?
In his heart, Tian Wenjing's behavior was not without ambiguity, and sometimes he felt it was ridiculous.

How could he not stare at a person like Cao Yong who is both capable and reassuring?

Yongzheng threw the secret report in his hand on the imperial case, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, he already had calculations in his heart...

Indus Court, the upper room.

Cao Yong sat cross-legged on the Kang, playing with a string of eighteen son bracelets in his hands.

"This is the light that the old lady asked the master to consecrate and enshrined in the Buddha statue for 36 days. It is full of the old lady's loving heart. Whether you like it or not, the master should take it with you, so that the old lady will not worry. .” Chu Yu said.

Cao Yong stroked the bracelet and said, "Why don't you like it? This bracelet is simple and simple, and it suits my heart." While speaking, he put the bracelet on his wrist.

Perhaps because it has been enshrined in the temple for a long time, this bracelet exudes a faint scent of sandalwood, but it is not greasy, but it makes people feel peaceful.

Cao Yong counted the days, today is the tenth day of the lunar new year, and after the fifteenth day, he will start going to the Yamen.

"I haven't coughed for a few days, stop the medicine." Cao Yong thought for a while and said to his wife.

Imperial Physician Chen had already ordered that the decoction could be stopped when the cough improved and continued to be nourished with medicinal diet.

After hearing her husband's words, Chu Yu nodded and kept this matter in her heart.

The beginning of spring is earlier this year, starting on the second day of the first lunar month, and the temperature will become more obvious after New Year's Eve.

Judging from this situation, Li and Cao Xiang will be able to make the trip in early February, when the "Ninth Nine" is over.

Chunhua will also take her children with her, and go to Jiangning to pay her respects to her mother-in-law Zhaojia.

On the Cao Yong and his wife's side, they have to help Mrs. Li prepare all kinds of gifts.

After all, the Li family has stayed in Jiangnan for more than forty years, and the Cao and Li families also have many old friends in Jiangnan.

As he spoke, Cao Yong couldn't help feeling yearning.

Since Kangxi left Beijing in 48 years, he has returned to Jiangning four times. The first time Cao Yin fell ill, the second time Cao Quan died of illness, the third time he came back from Guangzhou to go to Wei's house, and the fourth time was Cao Song's "injury".

Every time there is bad information mixed in, it is a rush to and fro in a hurry.

Since he woke up when he was seven years old, he stayed in Jiangning for nine years.

Counting the capital side, it has been 18 years, plus the previous life, where is the hometown, it is already a little blurry.

Seeing that her husband didn't speak, Chu Yu thought that he was depressed because he couldn't serve his mother-in-law and went south, and said, "There are four uncles and four aunts accompanying me, and my seventh uncle is by my side, so don't worry, master."

When Cao Yong heard this, he was surprised and said: "Eternal life is going too? Didn't he agree to participate in this year's boy test, why did he change his mind?"

Chu Yu said: "I heard that they want to wait for a year, and end next year with Tianyang. Tianyang wants to end this year. Fourth Uncle said that his studies are not solid, so he told him to wait another year."

The two uncles and nephews are only two years apart. Cao Yong knows that they are often together.

But Cao Yong does not agree with this kind of "loyalty" in Changsheng in his heart. Boys are different from girls. They should be independent and have a sense of responsibility and responsibility.

If Tianyang begged Changsheng to wait for him for a year, it would be too dependent on Changsheng, which is not a good sign.

If Changsheng voluntarily wants to stay with Tianyang, there are two possibilities: one is genuine youthful loyalty, and only wants to take care of his younger nephew; Make excuses for a year.

If it is the former, it means that you can’t tell the priority and don’t think carefully.

The examination room is strict, even if uncles and nephews take the same examination, there is nothing to take care of.The best solution is to end Changsheng as scheduled, and give Tianyang the experience and lessons of his end, which can also benefit Tianyang.

If it is the latter, if you shrink back and cannot admit your lack of timidity, then you have no sense of responsibility and less responsibility.

No matter which one, Cao Yong is not happy to see.

Logically speaking, a family like the Cao family has Cao Yong to support the family, and Tianyou, the eldest son, is growing up.

Cao Yong doesn't think so. One day, whether Li or he will die, is it possible to let Changsheng depend on his nephew for a living?
Although this kind of attachment abounds in powerful families, between the elders and the young, and between the concubine and the concubine, Cao Yong is not happy that this situation also occurs in his own family.

Everyone in the world has a snobbish eye, even servants know how to watch people order dishes, choose which master to curry favor with, and neglect which master.

If you live a mediocre life and depend on your nephew, you will be called an outsider, and even servants will look down on you.

Tianyou still has a wife, and will have children in the future. Can they really respect Changsheng, an elder who depends on them for a living?
Cao Yong really loves his younger brother, how could he fall into that embarrassing situation?
In his heart, he felt a little guilty towards Cao Yin and his wife these years.

On the one hand, he really regards his family as Cao Yong, the Cao family as his responsibility, and Cao Yin and Li as his parents; on the other hand, he clearly remembers his previous life, even under the guise of being filial and responsible. In fact, they are just planning for their own comfortable life.

Between father and son, between mother and child, there is always something separated in the intimacy.

No one pointed out this point, but Cao Yin and Li also knew it well.No matter how much they love their eldest son, they dare not go beyond his eldest son and make any decisions for him.

Knowing this distance, Cao Yong has nothing to do, after all, he can't erase the memories of his previous life. For the Cao family and Cao Yin and his wife, the relationship between responsibility and family relationship is greater.

Having longevity is a comfort to Cao Yin and his wife.

After all, in terms of body and soul, Cao Yong is only half of the son of Cao Yin and his wife, but Changsheng is the whole.

The two are called brothers, but in fact Cao Yin left early, and his longevity depends on his elder brother's guidance.

Even if Cao Yong didn't expect him to spread his wings, he didn't want to raise him as a waste material.

Now this little sapling is a little crooked, so of course Cao Yong can't stand idly by.

After dinner, he found an excuse to have Chang Sheng come over.

This Spring Festival, due to Cao Yong's illness, Tianyou took Changsheng two people to socialize with Cao's mansion.

Although Chang Sheng's face was still immature, he was much calmer and more sensible.

As if inadvertently, he sprang up, reaching the height of Cao Yong's nose.

Cao Yong sat on the kang, pointed to the opposite seat, and said: "Sit down. I heard from your sister-in-law that you want to serve the old lady and go south. Why can't the boy try?"

Changsheng blushed when he heard the words, and said honestly, "It's just because I'm afraid that I won't do well in the exam, and I won't be able to hold my head up in front of my nephews, so I use Ziyan to last a year."

So frank, Cao Yong has nothing on the surface, but he is quite relieved in his heart.

"Are you afraid? But after planning the way you want to go, you will eventually end up. What if you are timid next year? Are there still excuses to delay for two years?" Cao Yong said.

Chang Sheng shook his head without hesitation, and said: "No, I just have two books that I haven't learned thoroughly, and I will have a whole year's time to finish in February next year. Even a stone-headed person should write down And besides, I'm not a rock-headed man."

Changsheng is indeed not stupid, he has inherited Cao Yin's talent, his music, chess, calligraphy and painting are more aura, what is lacking is the precipitation of time.

It's just that he really doesn't understand stereotyped essays, so he is very self-aware and wants to bypass the imperial examination, that is, to participate in the boy's examination to obtain the fame of a scholar, and then to take the six-part pen post examination.

Seeing that his idea was correct, Cao Yong thought for a while and said: "The ruler is short and the inch is long. Whether it is a boy's test or a test, there are many people who end up, and the number of people admitted is limited. You don't have to Compared with your nephews, they certainly did well in their homework, but all three of them were selected due to luck. I support your exit, not because you must be on the list, but just to let you experience it. After passing, of course I'm happy, it doesn't matter if you can't make it through. I know that you are tender-faced and afraid of being laughed at after failing the exam, but the road is your own, why don't you walk because of this or that gaze?"

After saying this in one breath, Cao Yong only felt his mouth dry, took two sips of tea, and continued: "You are getting older, you are no longer a child, you were sheltered by the Cao Mansion in the past, you have not suffered any hardships. But when you go to Qi Xue, you should also know that there are distances and nearness between classmates. As long as you deal with people, friction and collision are inevitable. If you always care about other people's opinions, you will be exhausted. In this world, apart from this everyone Son, apart from your close relatives, what does other people have to do with you? Think about it carefully, is this the truth? There will be many such faces in the future, and what you will face is not just contempt and ridicule, if If you don't become strong, how do you protect yourself, how do you protect your loved ones behind you..."
