Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 611 Set the storm contest (four)

"My lord, what are you looking at, this is?" Yi Duli leaned forward with a hoarse voice.

Cao Yong closed the account book, glanced at Yi Duli, and said: "My lord's voice is better, do you want to rest for two days?"

Yi Duli shook his head, and replied with a smile: "It's just that I shouted a lot that day, and there was phlegm in my throat. I have already found a prescription from the imperial doctor, and it doesn't hinder anything."

Although getting up early and returning late these days, the errands in the yamen are a bit heavy, but Yi Duli's complexion is much better than before.

Speaking of which, apart from Cao Yong and Brother Sixteen, Yi Duli was the one who took the bidding seriously.

Cao Yong invited him to sit down and talked about the Fang family's loan of money.

The smile on Yiduli's face stopped, and he frowned endlessly: "Hey! Toss it, but I want to see it, can it be spent? Except the Northwest needs to use silver, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Household Is there no shortage of money? As soon as our bidding was over, officials from the Ministry of Industry surrounded Mr. He. The river needs money, and they are waiting for it. It is true that merchants value profits. I know how many people's lives will be cut off in this way. These bastards should be arrested, given a whip, and have a long memory."

It's rare to talk about important national affairs, Yi Duli's voice, which was originally hoarse due to inflammation, is also much clearer, and his expression is a bit more dignified, which is completely different from his usual idle appearance.

Cao Yong met, thinking that these days Yidu has been running back and forth, and it is not indifferent to the bidding.

In the brochure that Yuqian handed over yesterday, in addition to the details of the bidding, he also wrote the list of meritorious personnel this time, and Yiduli ranked first.

After all, Yi Duli was punished and demoted. It is not easy to restore the product immediately, but it is inevitable to get a credit.

However, what he wants is not only this, but also a sense of accomplishment as a man, right?
In fact, he didn't need to follow Cao Yong to get to the cusp of the storm.With his family background, dawdling and following the crowd might be a better choice.

If something went wrong in the bidding, Yi Duli would be reprimanded, not to mention the credit, and this fifth-rank doctor would be safe.

If this is the case, Cao Yong really has to feel ashamed.

Could it be that someone trusted and supported him so wholeheartedly, yet ended up in such an end, is he familiar with it?

After Yi Duli finished speaking, Fang came to his senses and said with a sneer: "Hey, I've been a little worried. Naturally, the emperor will worry about this important military matter. We slaves only need to follow the instructions, why bother with those things?" brain?"

When Cao Yong saw him, he immediately changed his words. Thinking of his ups and downs in the past few years, he was always afraid of getting involved in these right and wrong.

Seeing that Cao Yong was silent, Yi Duli thought that he did not agree with this kind of rhetoric, so he lowered his volume and advised him: "Fu Ruo, being a bit strong is not a good thing. You have been in the study room in the early years, and you should know that those teachers Regulations. No matter how mischievous my brothers are, the hands can’t reach them. Most of them are accompanied by the readers. For which? It’s because those are the emperor’s children and grandchildren. The emperor can teach them a lesson, but others can’t. If it is far away, you can be charged with contempt for the holy bow."

"Thank you, my lord, for your explanation. I know the severity." Cao Yong was a little grateful when he heard the words.

For Yi Duli, Cao Yong can't give birth to a heart of intimacy, but as a friend of a gentleman.Yi Duli acted, but he was much more humane than Cao Yong.

"My old lady kept repeating a sentence, 'If you suffer a loss, you take advantage of it'. My lord, think about it carefully, is this the truth? The Fang family is willing to toss, so let him toss. It’s not digging, what does it matter to us? If something is wrong, there will be people who will be taught by the emperor.” Yi Duli was afraid that Cao Yong would be overwhelmed, so he couldn’t help adding a sentence.

Three days away from Shi, when you look at it with admiration.

In Cao Yong's mind, these words came out.Maybe it's just self-righteousness and underestimation of others.

Today is the third day after bidding, and many merchants with small bids have already asked people to pay money at the outer yamen.

In the afternoon, the news that there was no money in the bank in this city spread throughout the main hall of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Many officials looked at Cao Yong with complex and expectant eyes.

Someone has already bet privately that Cao Yong can think of a way to regenerate several million taels of silver.

Taking a step back, Cao Yong knows it.

He is not ostentatious, nor does he have any penchant for showing off.

The human heart is the most greedy, and human nature is also bullying.

The opponent is the prince elder brother, Cao Yong doesn't think he is an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, if it is not a last resort, he is really unwilling to face him.

But Brother Nine is doing a two-pronged approach this time, not only wanting the share of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' business, but also wanting the Han Jiang family to gain both people and wealth.

In this way, where is there room for Cao Yong to retreat?

What's more, it's okay to make Fang's family get money. In business, if the bid fails, it's justified to think of other ways;

Perhaps in the past, they didn't know that Han Jiang's family was rich, but in the capital, who didn't know that she was the treasurer of the Cao family?
In the eyes of outsiders, the Han Jiang family is the "Cao family".

Therefore, Cao Yong would be angry when he heard that she planned to lend money, and Zheng Woxue would be worried.

Brother Nine skipped Cao's house, and sent people to Han Jiang's house to propose marriage.This is also to show others that the Cao family is nothing in the eyes of his ninth elder brother.

If the Han Jiang family was a member of the Cao family, things would be simpler.Cao Yong, as the master, can stand out for the slaves under his family, but she is not the only one born.

She is the treasurer of the Cao family, but not a servant of the Cao family.

As the old saying goes, the first marriage is by the parents, and the second marriage is by oneself.

If he made his slaves rob Han Jiang's family directly, and later Han Jiang's family voluntarily remarried, then Cao Yong really couldn't say anything.

Humans, like animals, have disputes over food and women.

Cao Yong put his hands behind his back, thinking of Cheng's family and Cheng Mengxing, wondering if he should be lucky for Han Jiang's family.

On my side, there is also Chu Yu, who, as the granddaughter of the emperor, has the rank of a princess, which will make Brother Jiu feel scrupulous.No matter how greedy he was, he would not dare to snatch someone from his niece.

In that case, if the reputation had to be said, Kangxi would not allow him to act recklessly.

In the Great Qing Dynasty, the title of noble lady, Princess Gulun is the same as the prince, Princess Heshuo is the same as the prince of the county, and Princess Heshuo is the same as Baylor.

Even if Chu Yu is the junior of Brother Jiu, but the title of title is still there, Brother Jiu must treat each other with courtesy.

If the Han Jiang family had been discovered by Brother Jiu before they had any relationship with the Cao family.Even if he directly robs people into the house, can someone from the Cheng family still succeed?
Why can Kangxi tolerate the ninth brother so far?
Is it because in his eyes, ordinary people are like ants, who can let the prince do evil?Or is he sitting too high to see the filth?

In the harem, there is also a concubine Yi who is in power.

It seems that no matter what you think, you can't tear your face apart.Otherwise, there would be slander from the palace to deal with.

This family, Cao Yong always felt a headache.

At this time, Cao Yong was a little bit like Elder Sixteen.

Brother Sixteen has returned to Tangquan today. If he is here, we can discuss it and make an idea.

At the end of the day, I didn't even have a clue.

Cao Yong couldn't help feeling frustrated in his heart, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was time to go to the Yamen.

He stood up, wondering if he should visit his wife at Prince Chun's Mansion, explain why, so as not to worry her.At this time, I saw Dong Dianbang walking slowly.

But he mentioned the official business one after another. Cao Yong is not an outsider about the affairs of the Punishment Division.

Because of the greatest relationship, which involves the life and death of the person in the case, Cao Yong had to treat it with caution.

During these days in the House of Internal Affairs, in addition to studying how to open source and complete the tasks assigned by Kangxi, Cao Yong spent the rest of the time looking through the files over the years.

He rarely came forward to ask about the specific tasks of the Punishment Division.But after the trial, he had to read through the case files in his hands carefully, so that he knew what he knew before signing and stamping.

Being so mature and prudent was right in Dong Dianbang's eyes, which made him have some expectations for the new manager.

Having witnessed the whole bidding process again, Dong Dianbang appreciated Cao Yong more.

It is precisely because of this that he does not want Cao Yong to take a detour from the bottom of his heart.

Cao Yong asked people to serve tea, and when he heard Dong Dianbang say these things in a leisurely manner, his heart was filled with wonder.

This old man is not a person who talks a lot, why is it like chattering today, no more fun?

After talking about business affairs and family matters, Dong Dianbang's words went further and further away, and he had already talked about what happened before Cao Yin went to Jiangnan.

Seeing Dong Dianbang's white beard flickering, Cao Yong's impetuous heart slowly calmed down.

Dong Dianbang looked at the official robe on his body, and said to Cao Yong: "Back then, a group of children from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had more than one or two people who were better than your father, but now they are hard to find. It's too late, too late. Stumbling and stumbling are nothing, mediocre It is a blessing to grow old in An An." At the end of the speech, there was already a lot of emotion for no reason.

Cao Yong's heart moved, and he looked at Dong Dianbang with a little more puzzlement.

Dong Dianbang closed his eyes, picked up the tea cup in front of him, looked at the tea leaves in it, and said with a smile: "Good tea, good tea. The taste of this good tea can't be concealed, but Xiaguan is lucky today. .”

"A loss is an advantage"? "Too far"?

Although I don't know what Dong Dianbang's position is, but it is not easy to persuade him.

Just where is the bottom line of "too far"?I just did my job, did I also pass it?

For a while, Cao Yong was a little confused.

Although he has no ideals for making contributions, he is a lazy person.

This "laziness" is not only physically, but also mentally.

Therefore, he treats every errand as conscientious, and the purpose is not to be "loyal to the emperor and patriotic", but not to give others a handle, and to be less gossip.

So, is it over?
In doubt, Dong Dianbang had already got up to say goodbye, and walked out unsteadily.

"My lord Dong stay here..." Cao Yong couldn't help saying goodbye, and asked: "My lord, could it be that my lord has done a lot?"

Father, like son.

Cao Yong's expression was very sincere, and he really hoped to get an answer.

There was no one else in the room, Dong Dianbang pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "My father has been in the south for 30 years, why did you return to the capital? With his talent, he is also able to ascend the court to pay homage to the prime minister, so why is he only an idle official in the Ministry of Rites? Too much is too late, too much to say That's the case. Mr. Cao is an intelligent person, why can't you see Mount Tai?"

The reason why Cao Yin was transferred to the capital to work in the Ministry of Rituals, the rich and powerful in the capital speculated one after another, and they all said anything.

Some said that the emperor cherished his veterans and could not bear to be forced;

The real situation is chilling.

The Cao family is too loyal, too rooted in Jiangnan, and has already crossed the emperor's bottom line.

If the Cao family was unfaithful, and there were mistakes in doing errands, they could still be punished if they found a crime, but such mistakes could not be found.

Although throughout the ages, there are not a few examples of "there is no excuse for inflicting crimes", but how could someone like Kangxi, who claimed to be a wise emperor and sage, do that?

After Dong Dianbang finished speaking, he shook his head and frowned, as if annoyed by his talkativeness, he clasped his fists and turned to go out.

Cao Yong stood there alone, knowing his mistake.

I took it for granted, a little naive, thinking that by hugging Kangxi's thigh, I also got into the relationship with the fourth elder brother. As long as I do my errands well, I will be able to stand firm.

How can it be so easy?
If you are not careful, you will work hard and not thank you.

His grandma's, Cao Yong couldn't help but swear in his heart, stepped across the threshold, and looked up at the clear blue sky.

It doesn't matter if you lend me a thousand disciples or eight hundred white robes, if you can also become invulnerable and immortal, you really want to live the addiction of rebellion...

However, that is nonsense.

If in the last years of Qianlong, there was some movement after all the tossing and tossing, but now it is just child's play.

Otherwise, even thirty or fifty peerless masters would be fine.Brother Jiu dared to make trouble, so he was useless.

Abandoned, Cao Yong thought of this, and his heart could not help but give birth to a burst of excitement.

I just feel that the villain with black wings is waving in his heart, showing his sharp teeth and smiling triumphantly.

Although limited by his status, he couldn't abolish Brother Jiu, but someone could restrain him.Why do you bother yourself, thinking of disciplining your son for others?
The child does not teach, the father too.

My own son, he still treats himself as a lesson...

The mountain is as high as a thousand feet, and you can be strong without desire.I seem to be asking too much, and I feel a little bit tied up.

Cao Yong held his shoulders, the boredom on his face was gone, only leisurely looking for fun...

Outside the Xihua Gate, Yi Duli just came out, but was blocked by Shi Yun.

Seeing Shi Yun staring blankly, Yi Duli couldn't help frowning: "Why are you here again? Didn't I explain it to you yesterday. That Han Jiang family has a special status, so you can't miss it?"

"Uncle, please help my nephew!" Shi Yun tightly grasped the fish skin dagger he got the day before yesterday, praying all over his face.

Yi Duli glanced at his hand, and said: "Have you not sent it back yet? Even taking advantage of the widow, you are not ashamed to panic? You are not afraid of being pointed at the spine, saying that you miss the widow's family wealth?"

Shi Yun clenched his fists hard, and said: "Uncle, you know that my nephew didn't mean that. She and my nephew have saved their lives, and my nephew has nothing to repay..."

"Come on, come on, I don't want to repay you, so I want to make a promise with my body? Why don't you ask your mother-in-law to see what kind of wife she wants? Or are you daydreaming, thinking that Han Jiang's family can take her with you?" Wan Guan's family wealth, to be a concubine with you?" Seeing Shi Yun like this, Yi Duli had an expression of "hate iron but not steel" on his face.

When Shi Yun heard this, his blood color had already faded.

"I want to marry her, uncle!" he murmured.

"Nonsense!" Yi Duli couldn't help being annoyed when he saw that he didn't enter Yanjin so much, and scolded: "When it comes to marriage, it's up to your parents to decide. How can it be your turn to find a daughter-in-law? What is your status, what is her status, How can we make a marriage? Is your mother-in-law and widow dragging you up unemployed just to make you mess around? You have lost your father, but your uncles and uncles are not dead yet, so how can you discredit your family?"

Shi Yun pressed the dagger to his chest with a very firm expression.

"Uncle, if I lose my wife position, what about my concubine marrying me?" He said, with a little hope in his eyes.

"You bastard, is marriage a trifling matter? If you want to marry, you can marry? You don't even look at who that is, she is the granddaughter of the Cheng family, the chief treasurer of the Cao family. If you want money, if you want power, if you want power, You don't live by men. Even if you are a prince, if you want her to be a concubine, you have to discuss it with the Cao family. You are not high, and your position is not obvious. Why do you let a rich widow give up her freedom? Voluntary to be a concubine?" Yi Duli said so much in his throat, his throat was already sore, he punched Shi Yun hard, and said: "I really want a woman, buy it from outside, and the maid at home will pick a room to take over. It's up to you, don't say these nonsensical things all day long."

Shi Yun's face was flushed by the words, and he couldn't help but said: "Uncle, aunt, aren't you also a widow?"

Seeing that he was so obsessive, Yi Duli couldn't laugh or cry.

Just when a team of guards came over to change shifts, Yidu stopped speaking, waved to Shiyun, and said, "This is not a place to talk, let's go, let's talk as we walk."

Yiduli has always been proud of being able to accept Yang's family as his wife.

Women in the south of the Yangtze River are as soft as water, and what they said is true.

Although there are several wives and concubines in the family, no one can compare to Yang Ruixue in terms of gentleness and carelessness.

In addition, Yang Ruixue has her own private room, unlike other concubines who just talk about food in bed when she has nothing to do, which makes Yi Duli feel much more at ease.

If it were someone else, if they wanted to take in such a delicate and beautiful concubine, they would probably have to pay thousands of taels of silver.Not to mention that Yiduli didn't spend a lot of money, Yang's family also married two properties.

Born in a wealthy family, although he is not a person who has an eye for money, who would dislike money and bite his hand?

"Your little aunt is willing to marry me. If I don't agree to accept her, I'm afraid she will cry and die." Yi Duli rode on the horse and said triumphantly: "That widow Han, do you want to marry me?" It's not easy to use a handsome man. Although she is the shopkeeper of Daoxiang Village, there are not many people who have seen her face. You still have errands, so how can you gossip all day long?"

As he talked, Yi Duli felt a little sympathetic to his nephew.

He thought for a while, and said: "How about I go to Cao Yong again to find out what he means? If Han Jiang's family is his confinement, it will save you from offending others rashly."

When mentioning the Yang family, Shi Yun remembered the scene in the silver building that day, and couldn't help but blush and heartbeat.

Although she doesn't have fox fur, Yang is a fairy, a fairy who kills people.

The sweet voice, the alluring fragrance, the soft body, who can stand that, even he, struggled a lot before he escaped.

Fortunately, he remembered the great defense of human relations, and he had another woman in his heart, otherwise, he would have sunk into the ocean of desire and committed sins.

People are different. Although they are all beautiful women and have no husbands, but Yang's frivolity is like water, and Han Jiang's is like a piece of cold jade.

Comparing the two, it reflects Han Jiang's nobleness even more.

Seeing that Shi Yun was silent, Yi Duli turned his head to look at him, but saw his blushing face, couldn't help laughing, and said: "It's just this promising, it's like this when you mention a woman, so when you are in front of a woman, won't you be paralyzed?"

As he said that, he became interested, reined in the horse, turned around and called a long follower, and gave a few instructions.It's just taking my nephew out to socialize and drink, and returning home later or something.

Shiyun was beside him, he couldn't help but hesitated, and said: "Uncle, are we going to Cao's mansion?"

When Yi Duli saw it, he couldn't help shaking his head, and said with a smile: "Is this child deluded? Cao Yong is not Widow Han's father. Do you still want to visit the old man? Go, uncle will take you to find a good place Go for a drink?"

Seeing Yi Duli laughing strangely, Shi Yun scratched his hair and said in a low voice: "Uncle, there are laws and regulations in this imperial court..."

Yi Du gave him a sharp look and said: "Follow me quickly, what are you talking about? Does your uncle look like a fool, and would you go to the Qianmen Hutong? There are several Huaiyang restaurants newly opened near Haizi, and the taste is the best. Zhengzong, was thinking of going to Haosheng'pinpin, but today it's cheap, you silly boy..."

Not to mention that Yi Duli happily took his nephew to Haizi to have a drink. Cao Yong came out of the Yamen and did not go home directly, but went to Chunjun Wangfu.

Last time, it was fifteen times.

For more than half a month, due to the busy schedule, it was his first visit.

Brother Seven has come back from the Ministry of Rites. Hearing that his son-in-law is here, he changed his clothes and came out to meet him.

Seeing the calm look on Cao Yong's face, Brother Qi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you thought of a solution?"

Cao Yong nodded and said: "It is better to be silent than to say a thousand words. Do more and make more mistakes, do less and make less mistakes. If you stop with silence, your vision will be broadened."

The seventh elder brother was quite surprised, looked at Cao Yong for a few times, and said: "It's hard for you to think about it, don't fight this leisurely. I was worried about your temper, and you will not eat hard, and follow the temper of the donkey. This time, I have to talk to Lao Jiu Tear your face apart. In that case, even if you win in the end, you will still lose, and I'm afraid it will hinder your future, and the gain outweighs the loss."

Cao Yong knew what he was referring to.

Brother Jiu is the prince, no matter how rude and rampant he is, his status as the prince is unquestionable.

If Cao Yong had the guts to contend with the prince, wouldn't that be outspoken, or contempt for the imperial power?
The so-called "loyalty" before fell into the eyes of the emperor, but it was just a disguise, and he would still be characterized as arrogant and lawless.

Seeing that Cao Yong was silent, the seventh elder brother was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, and said: "The world is not complete, so don't be too demanding on yourself. Even if you stop here, your achievements will fall in the eyes of everyone, and no one can obliterate them. Just let it be..."

It sounds nice, just "let nature take its course", but it's just being a turtle, avoiding the edge of the nine princes...
