Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1387
After seeing that the Eight Banners Xungui's intentions were clear, Hongli felt depressed.

What a joke in the world, the emperor has passed the year of knowing his destiny, even if the beautiful girl enters the palace next year and gives birth to a little elder brother, can she get involved in the reserve position?

It is a royal taboo for the young master to ascend the throne, the master is weak and his ministers are strong.

However, although he felt that he must be the reserve candidate, he was no longer as at ease as before.

He didn't dare to break the taboo to win over courtiers, but he was no longer stingy with enthusiasm for his bodyguards, former companions, wives and other forces that could be justified and close.

As a result, he found that his relationship with the Cao family was no less than that of the Fucha family.

Fu Peng and Hang Seng have been his companions, Tianyou is his bodyguard now, Cao Jia is his concubine Fu Jin, Prince Ping and Prince Yu have become his brother-in-law.

For the sake of keeping filial piety, Hang Seng kept his filial piety behind closed doors except for showing his face twice when attending the funeral of the Cao family and entertaining the envoy from Khalkha.

It's funny to say that the Mongols don't pay much attention to this, but Hang Seng, the son of King Khan, is in the capital, so he has to "do as the Romans do".

Although Khalkha has a vast population, the Khans are still wary of each other.

Chechen Khan and Tuxie Tuhan sent their nephews to Beijing to ask for marriage, but they couldn't hide it from Zasak Tuhan.

Although he also knew that it was impossible for Tian Khan to send another princess to Zhasaktu, he also arranged for several young princes and Taiji to go to Beijing, just to show his goodwill towards the court.

Even though he was born in a noble family, the Mongols are honest and straightforward. In the eyes of those Taijis, Hang Seng is not only the son of King Khan, but also the future Lord of Zhasaktu, and the young patriarch of their tribe. Hang Seng is close.

In this way, after entering Beijing, they often visited the county prince's mansion.

Hang Seng originally has a bold personality, coupled with his outstanding skills in riding, archery and wrestling, he quickly won the hearts of everyone.

Hongli was ordered to entertain the princes of Khalkha and Taiji. Although he focused on the princes of the Chechen Khan tribe, he could not neglect the Zasaktu tribe, so he accompanied him to the county palace twice.

Seeing the princes of Zhasak Tubu and Taiji treating Hang Seng like stars and the moon, Hongli realized that Hang Seng is more important than he imagined.

He became a little closer to Hang Seng.

Because of Hang Seng's discipline, the two haven't seen each other for several months, so they found a quiet place to chat.

"Speaking of it, I really dare not be a coincidence. If it hadn't been for the death of Princess Khan, the third princess would have descended... At that time, you would have to change your name and call me fourth brother..." Hongli said.

Hang Seng said with a silly smile: "Fourth Lord is the ruler, Monk is the minister, after all there is a difference between the ruler and the minister..."

Hongli rolled his eyes and said: "Now I know that the monarch and his ministers are different... When you first entered the palace to study with me, I asked you to call me uncle, but you called me for a while honestly, and then changed it..."

Hang Seng didn't know how to answer the conversation, so he just laughed.

Hongli snorted twice and said: "Speaking of it, it's really cheap for you... Originally, from Princess Furui, you have to call me uncle; from Cao Jia's side, you have to call me uncle... ...When the third princess descends, you will be a generation older..."

After many years of experience in the palace, no matter how naive Hang Seng is, he sensed Hongli's deliberate overtures, so he echoed and said, "No matter what you say, the fourth master is an elder just... the fifth aunt's birth mother died young, and the second old master did not." And earlier, we were brought up by our wife when I was young... Although she is named aunt, she is no different from mother and daughter, and my wife loves fifth aunt no less than she loves elder sister..."

Although Hongli had heard the words of Cao Yong and his wife who loved their daughters like their own lives, he did not doubt the credibility of Hang Seng's words.

One is that Hang Seng has a real temper and doesn't seem to be capable of lying; the other is that although Wu'er can only bring a few dowries to marry into elder brother's house according to the regulations, they are all good things.

Wu'er's temperament is docile and delicate, innocent and seldom thoughtful, no matter how you look at it, she was raised pampered.

Originally, he was worried that Wu'er was a concubine, and the Cao family might not take Wu'er seriously. Hearing what Heng Sheng said, Hongli felt as comfortable as eating iced watermelon during the dog days.

Yes, although Wu'er was a concubine from the second house, she was raised by Princess Furui's side when she was a child, so she was close to the eldest house.

Wu'er can be loved by the queen and mother concubine, so it makes sense, who doesn't like a docile and harmless little girl?
Thinking of Wu'er's teary eyes and pear dimples when he smiled delicately, Hongli only felt his heart flutter... He is obviously the same age as himself, and he is not considered young among his wives and concubines, but because he grew up in the Cao family Because of this, she still maintains her innocence...

In the early days, I thought she was young and immature, and didn't pay much attention to her, but I didn't expect her to grow better and better...

She was born to catch up with the Cao family's funeral affairs, and if she were another woman, she would just rely on her own will, and she would be able to control the rules and irregularities; but Wu'er is cute and cute, and it's too late to love her wholeheartedly, so she's not willing to force her and let her be criticized by others... …

Hongli only thinks that he has a close relationship with Hang Seng, but now he just looks at Wu'er's face, which is a little bit better.

However, Hang Seng felt that something was wrong. After sending away Hongli and the Zasaktu tribe, he asked people to pack up a portion of milk tofu, beef jerky, felt, etc. that they brought, and he dared to go there before dinner. Cao Mansion.

Just when Cao Yong came back from Luoya, Tianyou also came back from his shift in the palace, so Hang Seng and Tianyou had dinner in Jiuruyuan.

After dinner, the father and son sat in the upper room without going to the study.Seeing that they had something to say, Chu Yu prepared tea for their father and son, and went to visit Fuyuan Hall by herself to accompany her mother-in-law.

Tianyou didn't go out of the palace with Hongli this afternoon, but took shifts in the palace.

A few days ago, when he was taking care of Jinghui's funeral, he asked his colleagues to take the place, and these days he didn't take a rest, so the decent errands like attending to the prince were given to a few colleagues who had helped.

On Cao Yong's side, because of Hang Seng, he paid close attention to the envoy from Khalkha.

Hearing that Hang Seng said that they had gone to the county prince's mansion, Cao Yong thought of Zasak Tuhan, and he couldn't help worrying that Hang Seng would be bullied: "But someone is disrespectful?"

Hang Seng puffed up his chest and said, "Father, don't worry, he's being honest... My son can't wait for someone who won't open his eyes, shake his fists, relax..."

Cao Yong nodded and said: "It's good to be honest, if you really want to be unreasonable, don't get used to it... Whether it is a prince or Taiji, they will be your subjects in the future..."

Tianyou was in the palace, and the news was better, and said: "The three tribes of Khalkha sent their princes to Beijing this year for the purpose of marriage... The second brother is the future Khan of the Zhasaktu tribe, so we should let them see the princes of the two tribes." Brother's ability is..."

"Brother, what do you mean?" Hang Seng asked suspiciously.

"Those two parts are aimed at the fourth princess. Seeing what the emperor means, since he wants to let the elder brother of Prince Yi's mansion accompany him, he probably already agrees... Even if it is impossible for Zasaktu to ask for the princess, he will ask for a few more princesses." A princess, a daughter of the clan. Incomparable in rank, it is good to be superior in number..." Tianyou said.

After hearing this, Hang Seng hesitated: "Is this good? Khalkha is so far away, and the flesh and blood are separated, which family would be willing?"

Tianyou said: "It's a common practice for clan daughters to caress Mongolia. Except for parents asking for grace to stay in Beijing, don't most of them go to Mongolia? It's hard to go back to Beijing. Going to Horqin and Khalkha The difference? As long as you know how difficult it is for them to go abroad and leave home, and treat them kindly in the future, you will have everything..."

Hang Seng looked at Cao Yong, Cao Yong thought carefully, God bless this suggestion, for Hang Seng, it is indeed an opportunity.

He has been to Khalkha, and he knows that the atmosphere in Outer Mongolia is different from that in Inner Mongolia.

Inner Mongolia was assimilated heavily due to its proximity to the mainland, and began to pay attention to Confucian etiquette, and the status of women became inferior; on the other side of Khalkha, the original appearance of the Mongolians was maintained, and the status of the head mother at home was very high.

After all, men have to graze cattle outside, and the housework is entirely up to women.

There are not many people who are ruled by the concubine like the princess of Su Wangfu.

No matter how long Hang Seng stays in the capital, one day he will return to Khalkha. It is also a good thing to have the opportunity to deploy in Khalkha in advance.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong said: "It is indeed an opportunity. You should pay attention to the children from this department. If you have a heart, you can help me a little... It's just that in the matter of marriage, I want you to love me, otherwise I will appease you." If you go there, but offend the imperial clan in Beijing, the loss outweighs the gain... After you have settled, you can discuss the matter with Prince Su and Prince Jian to see if there are any candidates of the right age for their two families..."

Hang Seng thought for a while, and understood why his adoptive father chose to delineate these two families in Fukaer Kazong women.

He had already got the news that when the anniversary of the burning of Princess Khan next year, the imperial court would select a person from the lineage of King Su's mansion to be King Khan's successor concubine.The other clan daughters of Prince Su's line care for Khalkha, and they can also take care of each other.

In Prince Jian's mansion, although there are still two young princesses who are not engaged, they are still young; the unmarried princesses of the right age are all Yaerjiang's nieces.

For Yarjan'ah, the brothers born to his stepmother are already deadly enemies, and he must be eager to make arrangements for his nieces.

In addition, even if their father's title is not high, but as the granddaughter of Prince Jianxiu, if he manages Mongolia, he can also be canonized with a higher rank...

After talking about Khalkha, Hang Seng stated his primary purpose for coming.

"Father, my son thinks that the fourth elder brother is a bit abnormal recently, and has begun to take the initiative to be close to his son. ; but now they are talking about relatives, I don't know why?" Hang Sheng said: "The son was afraid that he would be narrow-minded, so he followed him and said a few things about his father and mother raising the fifth aunt, and wanted to test it out, but he actually Really overjoyed..."

Cao Yong said with a smile: "There are too many gossips outside these days, I'm afraid the fourth elder brother will start to feel scared..."

Tianyou said solemnly: "My son is also about to mention this to my father... Fourth elder brother treats his son closer than before. I heard that fourth elder brother thinks highly of fifth aunt at elder brother's place now..."

Cao Yong closed his smile, and showed a bit of solemnity on his face: "Whether it is because of the fourth brother's whim, or because of the rumors outside, he began to value the Cao family, you brothers must remember that the Cao family will silently be your fifth aunt's aid, but you will always be there." You can't intervene in the disputes between relatives on the bright side... Wait until the day when you need to fight, you might as well think about it and see if you have become a pawn..."

After hearing this, Tianyou and Hang Seng were thoughtful.

Cao Yong was worried in the end, and said: "Whether your five aunts are favored or not, you must not participate in the battle for the reserve... Since ancient times, ministers participating in the royal affairs have not ended well; if the future is broken, it is still a trivial matter. If you are not careful, it will be the disaster of copying your family and ruining your family. Wait until the end of the year, when your mother becomes a filial piety, let her find a chance to meet the palace, and meet your fifth aunt...Your fifth aunt was always alert when she was young. There is nothing wrong with it, when you know which is more important..."

Tianyou said: "Father, the favor from the fourth elder brother..."

"Just keep going, just remember to abide by the way of being a minister, and don't be frivolous and leave excuses... Fu Cha's family, if you can get along well, make more friends. Ma Qi is old, and Fu Cha's family sent a daughter as a concubine. Taboo, I'm afraid that the emperor and the fourth elder brother will launch a family to balance the fourth elder brother's backyard... At this moment, you brothers should be more careful and pay more attention to everything. Fu Cha's family, if you can make friends, make friends more..." Cao Yong said.

God Bless and Hang Seng agreed.

After talking about things outside, the father and son had to mention these people at home.

Cao Song's case is over, but there is a quota for the shortage of guards.Even though Cao Song was employed by the first-class guards, because there were no vacancies for the guards, he would not start working until there were vacancies.

Usually such personnel changes are mostly at the end of the year, but Cao Song can rest for a while.

Zuo lived there, and because of Zuo Cheng's Shengzhou sentence, there was another commotion.

In Zhang Jia's clan, there were a few elders who wanted to arrange for their nephews to go south, but they saw that Zuo Cheng was an official in a wealthy place in the south of the Yangtze River, and wanted to make a fortune by following him.

Mrs. Ning has been "supported" for several months, but she just feels that she can't do her best, and she is holding her breath.

At this time, I received several gifts from the tribe, and made promises to several families who were close to me.

This is also the practice in Beijing. After all, people are far from their hometowns. Even if they are officials, it is good to have people around them to help them.

Zuo Zhu had already been warned by Cao Yong, so he would not involve this with his tribe.

Mrs. Ning brought it up several times to no avail, but she couldn't bear it anymore, so she passed Zuozhu directly and sent her clansmen out of Beijing.

Because of this, Zuo Zhu was very annoyed. He felt that he was useless as an older brother and couldn't stop these people.

Although Cao Yong stepped forward and could stop the Zhang Jia clan from spying on the two brothers, Cao Yong had no intention of making a move.

Children have grown up and have to start learning to deal with these things.

Looking at it now, even if they mishandle it, I still have a chance to correct it; if I keep helping them, when will I be able to be independent...

It was getting late, and Hang Seng had to go back to the house, so Cao Yong didn't stay.

God Bless had something private to say, so he sent Hang Seng out...

In Jiuru courtyard, Cao Yong took a sip of tea, thinking of God Bless, and his heart was a little complicated.

As the eldest son who is also relied on by the family, Tianyou seems to be more qualified and more courageous than himself.Do you feel at ease...

Just as he was thinking, he heard movement outside.

After a short while, Chuyu picked up the curtain and came in, her face was ugly, pale, with tears in her eyes.

Seeing this, Cao Yong couldn't help being surprised: "What's wrong?"

Chu Yu sat on the edge of the kang, looked at her husband, and couldn't stop crying...
