Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 568

I can't blame Elder Sixteen for specifically mentioning Yin Tebu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and he is also in a state of desperation now.

Sun Zhenghao, the Minister of the Han Dynasty in the Ministry of War, died of illness in June, and the new Minister of the Han Dynasty has not yet been appointed.As a court official, being appointed by the imperial decree to buy camels for the banners of Outer Mongolia, this is "glory" rather than "punishment".

At the beginning of this war, there were no horses, so the court stopped at Heshuo and allowed Cewang Allah Butan to lead troops to and fro, what a shame.

Kangxi was so angry that the Eight Banners Ranch was taken back to the Ministry of War, and Yin Tebu, Minister of the Ministry of War, could not escape the guilt.

Yin Tebu was also wronged in his heart. How many of the chief managers of the Eight Banners Ranch have no masters. How can he be the master?
Besides, the malpractice of this ranch is not a matter of a year or two. Over the years, more and more fraudulent debts have been accumulated. Even if he intends to eliminate the accumulated malpractice, there is no way to recover.

There is no place to explain this truth, he can only respectfully accept the order and go to Guihua area to buy camels.

But it was empty talk, saying that it was "acquisition" with money, but it was just a seal signed and stamped by the Ministry of War.Large animals such as camels are mostly concentrated in the hands of Mongolian nobles in various banners.

After getting the news that the Ministry of War "purchased" the camels, they probably instructed the slaves to drive these animals to the depths of the grassland to graze.

Poor Yin Tebu, a dignified member of the first grade, spent half a month running outside the mouth, eating a lot of sand, and the camels did not "harvest" a few.

The number required by the imperial decree was [-] horses, which were to be fed in Xuanhua Datong after they were harvested, and sent to the army in the spring of next year.

Yin Tebu didn't dare to swell his face at this time to pretend to be fat. If he missed the military plane and was punished for several crimes, his future would be completely ruined.

So, he bitterly asked the imperial court for help.

Hearing that Cao Yong asked to see him, Yin Tebu was overjoyed and greeted him personally from the station.

Needless to say, the family members of the Cao family, Cao Yong is the emperor's grandson and son-in-law.If Cao Yong can be asked to be his deputy, then the "acquisition" of camels will go wrong in the future, and the punishment will be different because of Cao Yong.

Besides, Cao Yong is a famous financial expert.

The "tea boy" back then, and the current "Daoxiang village", this Heshuo son-in-law has a lot of money.It's really not possible, as long as you invite him to be a deputy, let him temporarily pay the money, and finish this task first, it is also a great kindness...

Thinking of this, Yin Tebu smiled even more intensely on his face. He looked at Cao Yong as if he saw mountains of gold and silver.

Cao Yong was stared at hairy, and carried out the ceremony of being an official.

Seeing Cao Yong's lack of airs and good manners, Yin Tebu hurriedly gave him a hand and said, "it's not in the yamen, so you don't need to be too polite. Seeing that you are much lighter than April, tsk tsk, you have to go back and forth. But it was hard work!"

When they were in the yamen, the two of them did not speak a few times, but this time they "know each other" a lot.

Cao Yong is not a fool, after thinking about it, he immediately understood Yin Tebu's intention.

Although there was nothing on the surface, he was full of slander in his heart.

He was really tired of this Mongolian errand, and he was not interested in accompanying Yintebu to "make white papers" around.

Although this military horse post station is under the jurisdiction of the driver's department, since it is a sacred order, Yin Tebu himself will have a headache.

With an idea in mind, Cao Yong didn't stay much.

Before Yin Tebu could speak, he excused himself to have an appointment with Brother Sixteen and left.

Yin Tebu personally sent Cao Yong out, looked at his back, and was already thinking about how to ask for orders in front of the emperor...

Cao Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief here, and he was also thinking about how to think of a way to avoid being caught by Yin Tebu.

Otherwise, if I really took the job of "purchasing" [-] camels, I am afraid that I will stay outside the port until the end of the year.

He was not afraid of the cold weather, but he was afraid that after going back, his sons would not know him as a father if he had to stay for a few more months.In addition, I was also thinking about my mother's birth.

Whether it's a little brother or a little girl, it's a good thing to have more siblings. What he's worried about is that Mrs. Li is getting old and her childbirth will be unfavorable.

When they arrived at Brother Sixteen's tent, Zhao Feng and two eunuchs were the only ones to pack Brother Sixteen's seasonal clothes.

Now, it's late August, it's time to change into a warm hat.

Seeing Cao Yong coming, Zhao Feng hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Cao Yong waved his hand, called him up, and said, "Master Sixteen, did you see him?"

Zhao Feng bowed back and said, "Just now, it was the order from Director Wei who was in front of the emperor, and the emperor sent our master to go to the imperial tent."

It seems that there is nothing left or right about Zhungeer's surrender, so Cao Yong chatted with Zhao Feng for a few words, mostly asking about news about Rehe and Jingzhong.

The two were talking, when they heard footsteps outside the tent, Elder Sixteen came back, accompanied by Wei Zhu.

The moment he saw Cao Yong, Elder Sixteen's expression was a little stiff, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Cao Yong has been with him for many years, and he will find out his strangeness. He wanted to ask a question, but he was stopped by sixteen elder brothers with his eyes.

"Fu Ruo, it's just right that you're here, Huang Ama is going to make people announce your majesty." Elder Sixteen seemed to have returned to normal, touched the ivory finger on his left hand, and said with a smile.

Cao Yong's eyes slid over the hands of the sixteenth elder brother, and he became more and more certain that something had changed.

This is a little problem of Brother Sixteen, when he is nervous or hesitant, this is the action.

Being so secretive, I'm afraid Wei Zhu was scrupled.

Wei Zhu stepped forward with a smile, and said to Cao Yong: "Consort Cao, the emperor is still waiting, so hurry up and go with your servant."

Cao Yong nodded in agreement, and took another look at Elder Sixteen before following Wei Zhu to the imperial tent.

There was no abnormality on Wei Zhu's face, but in a secluded place on the way, he whispered to Cao Yong: "Master Cao, there are some news in the palace, which sounds a little strange. I heard that before the Dragon Boat Festival, Master Duan She lost her footing in the garden, and the maid beside her was also martyred. Except for Duanzhuzi, there are not many old people in the palace... This is all after Mrs. Tai entered the Empress Dowager's palace..."

After saying this sentence, Wei Zhu tightly pursed her lips and said no more.

Although he said it casually, Cao Yong also understood that he was deliberately mentioning himself.It seems that there are old people in the palace who know about the mother's life experience, but they don't know which one to kill her.

"Boss Wei, thank you!" Cao Yong also said in a low voice.

Wei Zhu still had a humble smile on his face, and said: "Master Cao is being polite, but it's just a servant girl talking too much, just gossiping, don't take it to heart."

After all, he was on the imperial errand, so he had nothing to do with it. Cao Yong knew it in his heart, so he didn't say any more.

On the side of the imperial tent, many people came to see His Majesty by order, including the third elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, Yin Tebu, and some accompanying officials.

Because there is no noise outside the imperial tent, everyone looks like a dumb person, bowing their heads and seeing each other.

Wei Zhu has already entered the imperial tent. After a while, he came out to announce the decree and told everyone to go in.

Cao Yong wondered in his heart, looking at it like this, it already looks like a small court meeting, but it is missing a sixteenth elder brother?

What is Brother Sixteen worried about, and what is he embarrassed about?
Cao Yong is not the roundworm in the stomach of Brother Sixteen. After thinking about it for a long time, he still has no clue.

Kangxi was wearing a stone blue uniform, sitting behind the imperial case.

But after a few months of hard work, he seemed to have aged several years, and the beard was dotted with spots, and it was also a lot grayer.

His eyelids drooped a little, and he looked expressionlessly at the prince and his officials who bowed and knelt down to pay their respects, and said, "Be flat!"

Cao Yong's position is in the fourth row. After saluting with everyone, he returns to the right row and stands still.

Kangxi's eyes fell on Cao Yong, squinted his eyes, and said: "Cao Yong, are you here?"

Cao Yong went out and got to the middle. According to the rules, he knelt down again and said, "The minister is here."

Kangxi's voice could not hear any joy or anger, and said: "Come back and answer, I have given you all the errands, are you done?"

Cao Yong stepped forward according to the order, and after looking at Kangxi who was behind the case, he always felt that something was wrong.He thought about it for a while, and returned after considering it.

It was nothing more than a few days to go out of Beijing by order, a few days to arrive at the residence of the Great Lama, a few days to arrive in the Heshuo army, and a few days to meet the Marquis of Uliasutai by order.

Speaking of this, Cao Yong wanted to understand what was wrong.

Beside the imperial case, there were no guards on duty, only Wei Zhu and a middle-aged servant who seemed familiar to him stood.The nearest guard is at the gate of the imperial tent.

Listening to Cao Yong reported a series of dates, Kangxi nodded while listening.Even the princes and officials in front of the hall couldn't help but be speechless.

After Kangxi listened, he pointed to the place next to him, and said to Cao Yong: "You stand here first, I have something to ask you later."

Cao Yong bit the bullet, facing the princes and officials, and stood still on the side.

If the eyes were knives, Cao Yong would not know how many holes there were at this moment.

He watched his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, without raising his head, wondering what Kangxi would ask himself again in a while.

Next, what the servant said made Cao Yong's heart tremble.

"The emperor ordered, Xuan, the Zhungeer people Temur and Baikemuti will see you!" Wei Zhu stepped forward and said with a raised voice.

The servant at the gate of the imperial tent also raised his voice: "The emperor's word of mouth, announce that Temur and Baikemuti from Zhungeer will see you!"

The sound was repeated several times before seeing two muscular Mongolian men bowing into the tent.

Compared with Cao Yong a few days ago, these two men have changed into new Mongolian robes, and their tangled hair is much tamer.

There will always be a "security check", right?

Cao Yong was a little confused, and quickly looked at Temur and Baikemuti, feeling quite nervous.

No matter what, I still hope that the two of them can settle down and don't make any troubles.Otherwise, I don't know how many Zhungeers would pay their lives for this recklessness.

Cao Yong's heart sank when he saw that Temur was wearing old thick felt boots that did not match the new Mongolian robe at all.

Could it be that there are tricks in the boots?

Cao Yong was wondering, Kangxi had already asked about the situation of Temur and Baikemuti.

Bai Kemut's voice was a little trembling, and Temur's echo was a little stuttering.

The content of the answer is nothing more than lack of food, instigation of Allah Butan's perverse actions, light use of weapons, changes in people's minds, and so on.

Cao Yong saw that there was not a single truth in their words, and [-]% of them believed that they had ghosts.

He was thinking about whether to speak out as a warning, but the princes and officials in front of the hall had already bowed down, full of flattery.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Allah Butan is not popular among the people, and will be condemned by heaven."

"The emperor's benevolence, the lust is everywhere, and the hearts of the people return."

And so on, and so on.

Cao Yong, however, couldn't help but swear at his mother, not to mention that these people are far away from the imperial court, and they are too late to come forward if there is an accident; it is said that these people seem to have no guard at all.

What does Kangxi mean?
The imperial guards have all been dismissed, can Cao Yong be used as a meat shield to block knives?

Or do you want to test your "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" and see if you can perform a "great rescue"?
Dog blood, dog blood, it's too bloody.

In Cao Yong's heart, he couldn't help it, and greeted the three generations of Kangxi's ancestors again.

I am not a guinea pig, so I really don't want to do this "loyalty to the emperor" experiment.

Besides, I cherish my life so much, if something happens to me, then the family...

Thinking of this, Cao Yong's original little sympathy for him because of Kangxi's old age was blown away by the wind.

The saddest thing is, knowing that you are a guinea pig, you have to prepare to rush forward, otherwise the emperor's suspicion will be aroused, and the loss outweighs the gain.

In an instant, various thoughts flashed in Cao Yong's mind.

Temur was already moving, pulled something out of his boot, and flew towards the imperial table.

Cao Yong had been waiting for her for a long time, and the moment he saw him move, he was already standing sideways in front of the imperial court, first there was the sound of gold and jade, and then there was a sharp knife piercing into the flesh,

He just felt that the pain was so painful that he was no longer himself, and then, various chaotic sounds rang out in his ears.

Cao Yong stood in front of the imperial case, but his throat was salty, his eyes were dark, his body was weak, and he fell to the ground with a "plop"...

*
Capital, Cao Mansion, Orchid Court.

Li's body became more and more clumsy, impatient to move, leaning on the soft couch beside the kang.Several boxes of gold jewelry were placed on the kang, all of which are the most popular styles in the city today.Some are inlaid with gemstones, and some are inlaid with beads.

Now that it's time for the season change, in addition to adding or subtracting clothes, the women's family's jewelry can't be bad.

Unlike Jiangning, Beijing has certain rules for daily necessities of life.

No matter what clothes you wear for a few months, what accessories you wear with you, you can't go on business trips, otherwise, you will be laughed at for being out of place.

Mrs. Li didn't pay attention to this, but Chu Yu knew about it and had already thought of it for her mother-in-law.

In the first two months, Chuyu discussed with Mrs. Li and gave her a few new sets of golden-headed noodles.One set is inlaid with pearls, the other is inlaid with precious stones, the other is inlaid with agate, and the other is inlaid with pure gold and burnt blue.

In addition to these four sets of jewellery, there are two boxes, one containing a dozen or so gold bracelets, and the other containing all gold rings, this one is for Mrs. Li to reward others.

When Mrs. Li saw these sets of ostentation, she said that the daughter-in-law was spending money, and she liked it in her heart.

It's not that I covet this bit of jewelry, it's just that I was moved by my daughter-in-law's filial piety.

"This one has a ruby. It's a pity. How can I use it? It's better to leave it to Tianhui." Li asked with a little surprise.

Said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao would be here, Tianyou and Hang Seng took Tianhui's hand and came back unsteadily.Xiangyu followed behind, seeing the intimacy of the three brothers and sisters, her little face was full of envy...

"Huh? Where's the safety button?" Tianyou stopped, looking at Tianhui's empty chest, a little puzzled...
