Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1325 Congratulations
Cao Yong withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, his expression unchanged, but he was secretly happy for Gu Na in his heart.

Although the news of Gu Na's promotion to the magistrate has long been known, it was originally intended to make up for Shandong's vacancies.

Although Shandong is considered rich, it can't go to the south of the Yangtze River.Hangzhou has outstanding people and is the capital of Zhejiang Province. The prefect of Hangzhou can be regarded as a fat vacancy among the fat vacancies.

If someone else was the governor, Cao Yong would have to worry about the water depth in the south of the Yangtze River, the strife in the officialdom, etc., but now the governor of Zhejiang is Li Wei.

Li Wei himself doesn't read much, but he respects and treats scholars very much.

After Gu Na became a famous Confucian, he was born as a Jinshi, and he has no bad deeds of being greedy for ink and perverting the law. In addition, he has a relationship with the Cao family. Li Wei can only take care of him, and has no reason to be picky...

Thinking of this, Cao Yong was taken aback for a moment, as if he knew the intention of Yongzheng to point Gu Na as the magistrate of Hangzhou.

The "literary inquisition" of the Qing Dynasty did not start from the Yongzheng Dynasty, but it intensified in the Yongzheng Dynasty, and now it is just the beginning.

Cao Yong's joyful mood was immediately washed away.

But he was powerless to change Yongzheng's sensitivity and suspicion, and he couldn't remember which official was careless and wrote "Your Majesty" as "狴" next to the word "dog";

Cao Yong is not well aware of other literary prisons, but the ones he remembers most are a few.

One has already happened, leading to the family raid of Haining's family, and Zhejiang's suspension of the provincial examination. The other two are the two things mentioned above.

The second one was a tragedy caused by a typo. Because of this typo, Yongzheng became suspicious of the official and caused people to ransack his home. As a result, he copied the poem "Qingfeng is illiterate, why turn over books randomly", and was convicted and executed.

The third incident led to the case of Zeng Jing and Lu Liuliang.There are various romances in later generations, such as Lv Siniang killing Yongzheng, so Cao Yong remembers it deeply.

The first thing, Cao Yong is heard and seen.

"Literary Inquisition" is just a crime, and the fundamental reason is that the Cha family stood in line with the prince in the early years; even after the prince was abolished, they also supported Hong Xi.

To put it bluntly, this is nothing more than Confucianism's belief in etiquette and support for the succession of the eldest son.

The Cha family is not the only one who has this kind of thinking. Zhejiang's style of writing is open, and there are many kinds of news. That's why Yongzheng became angry and stopped the provincial examination for Zhejiang scholars.

The second thing is that even if it is not Yongzheng, I am afraid that the careless officials will not fare well.

Although "狴" is far-fetched to have the meaning of dragon son, it is really not a good word at this time. The ancients used "狴犴's disaster" to refer to the disaster of prison.

Using this word to refer to "Your Majesty" is disrespectful at a shallow level, and "curse" at a deeper level. How can Yongzheng bear it?

As for the third matter, because of the difference between the Manchu and the Han, inciting the general who holds a heavy army to rebel is even touching the scales of the dragon.

When the Manchus entered the customs, due to the huge disparity between the number of people and the Han people, they were strictly guarded against the Han people.

You put out the meaning of the rebellious slogan here, can you run away if you don't punish the Nine Clans?

Cao Yong touched his forehead and shook his head in self-deprecating manner. The Ministry of Households is the Ministry of Households. After all, it is much stronger than the Ministry of Punishment.

Even the Ministry of Rites, when encountering "literary inquisition", must refer to and convict.It is foreseeable that, in order to please the emperor, everyone's crimes are serious crimes.

This is also a common practice. If the emperor punishes them lightly, it is "extrajudicial grace"; if the emperor intends to punish them severely, they have not violated the holy will.

Although the Ministry of Household Affairs is usually cumbersome, it mostly manages taxation and taxation, so it doesn't need to be involved.

All the rotating officials of the household department returned to the yamen, and only Cao Yong was left in front of the imperial court. Jiang Jian and Zuo Cheng were a little worried.

Seeing Cao Yong came back, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the two are in the Ministry of Households, one is a document and the other is a post, but in fact their main job is to assist Cao Yong in handling government affairs.

Jiang Jian will mark the emphasis on the official documents, and Zuo Cheng will be responsible for sorting out the documents and files that need to be referred to.

Therefore, there is no need for Cao Yong to waste his energy and thoughts.

The matter of Gu Nawai's letting go of the prefect of Hangzhou will appear in the court newspaper in a few days, and there is no need to hide it.But there are so many people in the government office, it's really not the place to talk.

If some rumors are caused by Cao Yong's extra words, and spread to the imperial court, it will appear that he has a shallow stomach and can't hide his words.

After falling into the Yamen, the three of them left the Yamen Office, and Cao Yong told Jiang Jian and Zuo Cheng about it.

It's just that Gu Na and Cao's family had limited contacts, and the relationship between Gu's family and Cao's family was too deep. The two only thought that Gu Na was an ordinary distant relative of Cao's family, but they didn't take it too seriously.

What they were concerned about was that before the emperor formally appointed Gu Na as the magistrate, he first asked Cao Yong about his character before deciding whether to use him.

Among them, quite profound.

What does it mean?
It shows that the emperor valued and trusted Cao Yong.

The two said it with gusto, Cao Yong listened, just laughed it off, and didn't remember it.

In terms of Yongzheng's trust, who can compare to Brother Thirteen?
But in the history of later generations, even though the eldest son of the thirteenth elder brother died young, he did not make the second son the eldest son, but chose the youngest son who was still a child as the heir. Why?
In order to eliminate the influence he has been in power for more than ten years, the most important thing is to calm the emperor's heart...

After a few days, in the new issue of the imperial court's mansion newspaper, the news of Gu Nabu's prefect of Hangzhou finally appeared in the newspaper.

Cao Yong then asked Chuyu to prepare a gift and asked Tianyou to go to Gu's house on his behalf.

Tianyou is not as interested in "Cousin" as a descendant of Confucianism, as Changsheng is.

Even though he knew that his great-grandmother came from the Gu family and not the Sun family he thought, he had no intention of being close to the Gu family.

It's not so much that he regards Gu Na as a distant relative of his great-grandmother, but rather as his father's old friend.

The relationship with the Cao family has been estranged for 20 years, and the father can't praise him badly. The only thing that makes Tianyou curious is this.

After arriving at Gu's house, besides Gu Na and his wife, he had to see Gu Na's children.

Gu Boping's age was one year younger than Tianyou's, but his seniority was that of a nephew, so he had to kowtow to pay his respects according to the rules.

God bless, which one is easier to bear this, quickly supported: "You and I are similar in age, how can I suffer from this? Although there are differences in age, you don't have to worry about this."

Gu Boping listened with a smile and did not refute, but he still paid attention to his father's expression, seeing him nodding slightly, never bowing down from his advice, but calling him "cousin" and bowing to the end.

Only then did Tianyou accept it, and asked someone to present a meeting gift, even with Gu Boping's two younger siblings.

Tianyou is the imperial bodyguard, and he has appointed a princess, Gege, as his wife, and is equal to Gu Na.Gu Boping thought that his father would treat Cao Yong as he did that day, as he treated Cao Yong, with a little respect in his excitement.

Unexpectedly, Gu Na looked at Tianyou lovingly, like an older brother treating a younger brother, besides asking about Tianyou and the younger generation's well-being, he also asked about Cao Yong's previous illness.

Even Cao Yong's food tonic prescription, Gu Na did not forget to ask.

Tianyou is not a person who has no heart, but he turned a corner in his mind and told the truth.

Don't say anything else, just rely on his father to send him a message to invite Gu Na's family to the Cao Mansion for a banquet; and as mentioned before, he intends to take care of Gu Boping who is about to stay in Beijing and enter the Imperial College. God knows that his father did not take Gu Na's family Be an outsider.

That being the case, there is nothing to hide.

The more Gu Na listened, the heavier his heart became, his spirit suddenly became clear, and the worry on his face could no longer be concealed.

When Tianyou saw this, he couldn't bear it, and comforted him: "Cousin, don't worry too much. Doctor Chen said that father's health will get better and better if he takes care of it."

Gu Na wanted to squeeze out a smile, but he couldn't. He just looked at Tianyou seriously, and said, "Chengyi, I know that my worries are for nothing. It's not good for Uncle Yong's health. I can really share my worries for Uncle Yong. Yes, only you. Uncle Yong is so affectionate and sexual. Even power, gold and silver can’t get into his heart. What he cares most about is your family members. Ever since he was a teenager, Uncle Yong has been most worried about family affairs, so he started Planning for the family, only when you can support the family, Uncle Yong can truly rest at ease."

After hearing these words, Tianyou knew that this distant cousin in front of him was not only his father's old friend, but also his father's best friend.

Tianyou had already stood up, and solemnly thanked Gu Na: "My brother thanked my cousin for his lesson, and I will try my best to share my father's worries, so that my father will not be distracted by these trivial matters."

Seeing that Tianyou could hear his words, Gu Na was quite relieved and nodded.

Tianyou said about Cao Yong's invitation, and Gu Na immediately agreed.

Although Cao Yong had ordered him to take his wife and children to Cao's mansion before, but Gu Na always took care and did not dare to move lightly, for fear of causing trouble to Cao Yong for his own sake.

Now, the matter of promotion has been settled, and the mansion in Hangzhou, a prosperous place, has also been repaired, which shows that the emperor does not hate him, and naturally he will not anger Cao Yong, who has a relationship with him.

After all, it was the first time to come to the door, although Gu Na stayed with us, but Tianyou still declined, said a few more words and then left.

Gu Na, father and son, personally sent Tianyou outside the gate.

Gu Boping was full of questions to ask, but two guests came one after another, both of the same year as Gu Na.

After dinner, Gu Boping was free, and asked his father the question in his mind: "Father, why do you refer to your cousin as if you were a child to your elders? How much younger is your cousin than your father?"

If it was really a seniority constraint, then when facing God's blessing, Gu Na would not treat him as a nephew or junior, but a brotherhood.

Gu Na didn't expect his son to be confused for a long time, asking a question.

His eyes were blurred, as if caught in a distant memory.

It wasn't until a long time later that he sighed and said: "Although Uncle Yong is a few years younger than me, he has taken care of me and protected me since I was a child. You don't know that the Cao family and the Gu clan are not close. Not only because Mrs. Fengsheng was the master of the family back then, but also because the Gu clan almost killed Uncle Yong. Uncle Yong is the eldest grandson of Cao's family, and the elders regard him as their heart..."

He didn't modify it, and directly talked about Cao Yong's abduction back then.

Gu Boping was dumbfounded when he heard this, and murmured: "Since he has suffered such a serious crime, how can my cousin not hold grudges and still take care of my father for many years..."

He originally wanted to ask if his father suspected that his father's drowning was the work of the Cao family.

But after thinking about it again, I realized that I was a villain.

If the methods of the Cao family father and son were so vicious, they would not have allowed their father to grow up peacefully...
