Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 538

Whether it is the princes and dignitaries of the Eight Banners, or the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the glory of the rise and fall rests on Kangxi alone.They are naturally very concerned about the movements in the palace.

No one dared to take the risk and admit that he was speculating on the Sacred Heart, but that was the way it was.

Jobs can be mediocre, as long as you don't make too many mistakes, and no one will find fault for no reason, but you must pay close attention to this "wind direction".

Even if you don't have the heart to invite pets, and you don't want to ask about the emperor's preferences, you should be a knowledgeable person so as not to commit any taboos.

Called Cao Yong into the palace in the middle of the night, is it for the impeachment of the previous censor?
Could it be that the Cao family father and son are about to lose power?A few days ago, Fu Erdan was dismissed as an internal minister. Will it be the Cao family's father and son's turn again?

The emperor has always given preferential treatment to former ministers, what is the reason this time?

This speculation has come and gone, and the conclusions drawn are somewhat confusing.

On the first day of each month, either Shangshu Dutong or the Minister of Internal Affairs will go to the Taimiao to salute.

In the past few years, when it was the turn of the Minister of Internal Affairs, Fu Erdan could be from the star. Yesterday, the Minister of Internal Affairs, A Ling'a, who was in charge of the bodyguard, saluted in the past.

Since the "dead eagle" incident last year, Alinga's life has been difficult.

Although Kangxi did not dismiss him, but in a fit of rage, he talked about the fact that A Ling A party attached to the eighth elder brother.

The eighth elder brother is in a difficult situation now, and A Ling'a is also unavoidably affected by it.Even if he is the respected uncle of the country, he can only behave as a man with his tail between his legs, and he no longer has the publicity of the past.

A Ling'a gradually regained her former glory, so the master behind it, "Eighth Brother", will also enter the court again?
"Suspiciousness breeds dark ghosts", everything is not considered, otherwise the deep meaning cannot be inquired about.

Those "fools" who still didn't alienate the eighth elder brother before, can't help but secretly rejoice now, and start to weigh what gift to send to the eighth elder brother.

Those who have cleared the boundary with the eight princes, although they are worried in their hearts, many people can find reasons to persuade themselves not to become soldiers.

In the past, the prince was established twice, so what happened?

The eighth elder brother is really sick, maybe because of the change of seasons, he coughs badly.

When Brother Nine, who had never been visiting, heard the rumors from Jingli, Brother Eight turned pale, and his eyes became sharper.

Brother Nine has a clear mind and is not a fool.

If it had been earlier, Ninth Brother would not be so anxious, maybe he would secretly be proud of it, so that he could trick other people to come to Eighth Brother
Alinga's "comeback" has not yet seen the follow-up, and there are already rumors flying all over the place, and there are all kinds of words.

When the rumors gradually picked up and all of them were attracted to the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother couldn't help being startled.

It's hard to say anything else at the moment, the old man is moody now, which is well known to all.

If it attracts his attention to the eighth prince again, who can guarantee that the appointment is a good thing; if he finds an excuse indiscriminately and relapses, it will be too human to resist.

The room was very quiet, after a while, Eighth Prince's expression gradually eased, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

After you sing, I will appear on the stage. It's really lively!
The two brothers are not much different in age, but Brother Nine treats him with respect and love.Seeing him smile, most of the worries in Brother Jiu's heart dissipated.

"If you do more, you will make more mistakes, if you do less, there will be no mistakes. Why do some people not see it!" Eighth Brother sighed.

In his heart, Brother Nine has always been suspicious of Brother Fourteen, but now that he thinks about this, he feels more and more that he has a ghost.

"Brother, Cao Yong's going to the Ministry of War is the means of the old fourteenth envoy. He was quite scruples earlier, but now he is a little impatient. Huh, this little white-eyed wolf. If you ask me to grab his tail, I will definitely look at him. Look at him." Brother Jiu gritted his teeth.

The eighth elder brother waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ninth brother, let's live a comfortable life, take it easy, let's watch the excitement first."

Brother Nine frowned, and said, "Is that how you admit it? Little things can be blamed on Brother Eight, no matter what the purpose is, his heart can be punished."

The eighth elder brother restrained the smile on his face, looked a little serious, and said: "I have thought a lot these days. Now that I look like this, I don't have the face to complain about myself or feel about my background. The so-called good popularity, But they can share joys and can’t share troubles, and they are prone to betrayal. It is because of these false names that they violated Huang Ama’s taboo, and ended up in such an unembarrassing and awkward end. What’s the fuss, even if it’s a monkey The play also needs to make people breathe." At the end, the loss could not be concealed in his voice.

Brother Jiu didn't speak, but his fists were clenched so painfully that he felt his stomach was full of turbidity and couldn't express it.

Coming out of the eighth elder brother's house, the ninth elder brother drooped his face, his face was full of gloom.

If he didn't know Cao Yong's itinerary yesterday, he would have suspected that Cao Yong was deliberately leading this right and wrong.

For those who make trouble out of nothing and want to make trouble, your ninth master will not spoil you...

For outside gossip, Cao Yong also heard some, but did not take it to heart.

At this time, it's useless to talk back. If you don't pay attention to it, everyone will find it boring after a while.After two days, a new topic will take its place.

After all, the world doesn't revolve around one person, and not everyone looks in the same direction.

Cao Yong's life is quite comfortable.

Brother Fourteen's small step of withdrawal has fulfilled himself, and it can be regarded as an advantage to Cao Yong.Otherwise, it would be annoying enough for a prince to treat you coldly all day long.

Although he is only a doctor of the fifth rank, but because of his status as He Shuo's son-in-law, several officials of the Ministry of War treat Cao Yong politely.

Although the few clan princes were not enthusiastic, their attitudes were acceptable.Instead of looking at the face of the monk, look at the face of the Buddha, there is Naersu, and there is a fourteenth elder brother who is clingy to others.

That's right, the fourteenth elder brother likes to cling to people recently, and when he is free, he likes to turn around in front of Cao Yong.

Cao Yong was very speechless, but he didn't have any reason to expel him. He still buried his head in the case and was not moved by foreign objects.

If you don't look at it, you don't know, but when you look at it, you will be shocked. At this time, the post road system is already extending in all directions.

There are postmen and posthorses in every post station, and the cost is not small, and sometimes they don't have an errand for a year or a half.

Ten million taels in three years, increasing income and reducing expenditure, if this post road thinks of a good way, it can come in money.Thinking of this, Cao Yong had a smile on his face.

However, the post road is allocated money from the treasury and is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.Even if it can "reduce expenditure", the remaining money will go directly to the treasury.Even if Kangxi wanted to reach out, he couldn't.

It seems that you have to plan well.

In Cao Yong's heart, an absurd idea could not help but come up.

Exactly which capable person shouted the slogan that impressed him so deeply, as to whether it is feasible or not, it still needs to be verified...

Cao's house, Dongfu, the main hall of the inner courtyard.

Seeing Tianxiang kneeling on the ground, and thinking of Ruhui who refused to come back, Zhao Jia couldn't help being upset for a while, put the pipe and pot to his mouth, and took two puffs vigorously.

Starting from yesterday, it was Cao Song's six-day rest and bathing day.

After thinking about it, Cao Shuo still told his brother about Ruhui and Li.After all, it was the uncle's family of his own, and he didn't want to cause a rift between the two families because of himself.

Now my mother is often confused, and my sister-in-law is hard to talk to, so it's better for my brother to come forward to make sure.

Although I know that Ruhui has a hot temper, Cao Song is still very surprised that she is so decisive.

What is even more surprising is that Cao Shuo, who has always been meek, is also very firm at this time, that is, he agrees to make peace with Ruhui.

He has already written the "letter to release his wife", and now there is a lack of someone to call the shots.Telling the elder brother is not to ask the elder brother to be the master, to settle the matter as soon as possible, so as to return the dowry of the Minister's mansion.

It's a joke to say that they divorced after three months of marriage.Of course, there are some things that Cao Shuo is not, but Ru Hui is the one who loses the most reputation when being mentioned by the world.

One is a younger brother, the other is a cousin, they are all close relatives, Cao Song really doesn't want them to be so hasty.Moreover, it is a major matter related to the friendship and reputation of the two families.

In his heart, he also felt guilty, feeling that he was really sorry for his brother.It seems that he took advantage of it, but left the trouble to his younger brother.

Guilt belongs to guilt, responsibility belongs to responsibility, Cao Song still cannot accept Cao Shuo's statement, and does not approve of "harmony and separation".

Young couple bickering, what is this?There is no need to break up for a quarrel, what is that called.

Cao Song didn't think of a solution yet, so the Zhaojia family asked Cao Song and Cao Shuo to come over.

What I said is also a matter of wisdom.

Ruhui saved half a month and asked her son to pick her up three times, but she never came back.Zhao Jia is not a fool, so he naturally knows that there is a flaw in this.

what else?It's not because the people in Cao Shuo's house are pregnant.

After calling Cao Song and Cao Shuo, Zhao Jia asked people to call Tian Xiang again.

According to Zhao Jia's meaning, he wanted to send Tianxiang to Zhuangzi outside the city to wait for delivery, so as to save Ruhui from being an eyesore when she came back.

"Keep the son and leave the mother", giving birth to a child can be regarded as making up for the difficult fate of Ruhui's offspring.

How big a crime is it to hook up with men and conceive a child?Mrs. Zhao Jia has always looked down on this. If Tian Xiang hadn't been ordinary-looking and honest, he would have made people's ears blown away by now.

With a body of more than three months, Tian Xiang was already a little pregnant, and he couldn't help shaking when he knelt on the ground.

Zhao Jia frowned, waved to Tian Xiang, and said: "Remember the past for now, go back and pack up, and ask the housekeeper to send you to Zhuangzi to wait for delivery."

Tian Xiang's face turned pale, and he leaned over to agree.Because she had been kneeling for a long time, when she wanted to get up, her legs were numb and she couldn't stand still. She staggered and almost fell down.

Cao Shuo was at the side, very careful.

Although he was reluctant to kneel down for a long time, but he knew his mother's temper and was afraid of accidents, so he took care by the side.

Seeing that something was wrong with Tianxiang, Cao Shuo hurriedly stepped forward and just caught it.

Tian Xiang's head was heavy, and his eyes turned black. After being hugged by Cao Shuo, he finally passed out.

Cao Shuo was taken aback, and hurriedly called out: "Tian Xiang, Tian Xiang..."

After calling several times, Tian Xiang woke up leisurely, looked at Cao Shuo's face, but was a little stunned.

"Hmph!" Zhao Jia said coldly, "It's still bright daylight, can you treat me as a dead person?"

Only then did Tian Xiang regain his senses, and hurriedly got up from Cao Shuo's arms, lowered his head in panic, gave Zhao Jia a blessing, and went down.

Watching Tian Xiang leave, Cao Shuo turned his head and said to Zhao Jia: "Mother, Tian Xiang is now twins, and she is still waiting for delivery in Beijing. Although the village outside the city is elegant, it is not as cheap as in Beijing."

Zhao Jia's face was so dark that people were afraid, and he said to Cao Shuo: "You are a righteous child, you know how to love others, and so on, but where do you put your daughter-in-law? I can't blame her for not coming back, I must not be able to stand you It's because of your contempt. I thought that girl of yours was a sensible person, but she was mistaken. It's not your turn to talk too much, so send it to Zhuangzi early. When the child is born, it's serious to dismiss it early."

What Zhao Jia said has the same meaning as Wu Ya's, "keep the son and leave the mother".

When Cao Shuo heard the words, he glanced at Cao Song beside him, with a bit of pleading.

Cao Song was running away and didn't notice his brother's eyes asking for help.

Seeing Tianxiang kneeling on the ground and knowing that she was pregnant, Cao Song felt a little uncomfortable.For some reason, I thought of Cao Yi's biological mother whom I had never seen before.

He was worried that his mother would throw Tianxiang out in order to stand up for Ruhui, but he was relieved when he saw that she was only sent to Zhuangzi.

Don't want to, it has become "remove the mother and keep the son" here again, Cao Song is a little speechless, thinking in his heart, is there a way to have both.

Cao Shuo had no hope of asking for help, so he had no choice but to step forward, knelt down on his knees, lowered his head and said, "Mother, it's all my son's fault that made my cousin sad, and made my mother and uncle and aunt worry about it."

"Speaking is better than singing. Since you know you are wrong, you should think about it, how can you treat your daughter-in-law well and protect a servant girl so wholeheartedly?" Zhao Jia's voice was a little sharp.

Cao Shuo raised his head and said, "Mother, it's my son who has no virtue and talent and has wronged my cousin. The son is ashamed and uneasy, and he is willing to reconcile." Speaking of this, thinking of Ru Hui's resolute body, my heart feels like stuffed with cotton uncomfortable.

"Heli?" Zhao Jia was so angry that she almost raised her neck, and threw the cigarette bag in her hand on Cao Shuo: "You bastard, what do you call this? It's too deceptive? Which one are you burying? It's your grandma's house." , it's your uncle's house, bastard..."
