Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 704 Going Wrong
Although it is only mid-September, but because this year is a leap month, the weather is already cold at this time.Outside the city, everything is bleak, the elm trees on the side of the road have lost their leaves, and the grass in the field is also withered and yellow.

Cao Yong was riding on the horse, and he didn't have the heart to appreciate the scenery. Looking at the back of the fourteenth elder brother in front of him, he felt a little angry.It is well known that the eighth elder brother has lost power, and the eighth elder brother is not sick for a day or two.

Although the imperial decree was issued, it was the errand of the fourteenth elder brother, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not mentioned.Relying on his status as the prince, the fourteenth elder brother went to the House of Internal Affairs to block Cao Yong.

Even if Cao Yong is not happy, he can only obey his orders because he is hung up on the job of the head of the House of Internal Affairs.

In recent years, there are a few princes who have been with Cao Yong, and it is said that the fourth elder brother is cool; Cao Yong looks at it, compared with the fourth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother who is usually surreptitious is really cool.

The fourteenth elder brother was on the horse, but he was a little scared in his heart, hoping that the ninth elder brother had returned to the city and was not here.

Brother Nine has always been sharp-tongued and ruthless in his words.At this time, it's not easy to argue with him, isn't this a headache?
Thinking of this, the fourteenth brother was a little irritable, turned around and saw Cao Yong pulled away, reined in the horse and waited for him to approach.

Cao Yong thought he had something to do, so he reined in his horse and asked, "Master Fourteen?"

The fourteenth elder brother's eyes swept over Cao Yong and landed on Zheng Hu.

Although Zheng Hu is from the south, he is tall and strong, with a short beard, and looks quite brave.The fourteenth elder brother smiled at Cao Yong and said, "It's nothing. It's just that my horse is precious, and I can't run far. After running for half an hour, I'm afraid I'll tire it. Let's walk slowly, and we can talk about it." Talk." At this point, he pointed to Zheng Hu and said, "Cao Yong, you are not a bad servant, and I don't know if you are playing tricks. When there is a chance, I will take the exam. What if you have real skills? , Lord, just take the trouble, and I can earn you decent money in the future."

This sounds like giving Cao Yong face and promoting his long follower.But with Cao Yong as the proprietor, Fourteenth elder brother's words were a little rude, and he didn't take Cao Yong seriously at all.

Not only arrogant, but also ruthless.

The eighth elder brother is his elder brother, who is lingering on the sick bed, but the fourteenth elder brother has no sadness on his face.On the pretext of caring for the horses, he walked slowly.

Cao Yong felt contempt already in his heart, but he still respectfully thanked Brother Fourteen for his trouble.

About becoming an official, Cao Yong asked Zheng Hu a long time ago.When Zheng Hu was young, he wanted to join the army, but after living in Guangzhou for a few years, he also saw the situation in the guards there, and he had long since lost interest in eating military rations.

The fourteenth elder brother saw that he took the initiative to show his favor, but Cao Yong was still not affectionate, so he felt a little unhappy.

He squinted his eyes, glanced at Cao Yong, and said: "I heard that you often go to the fourth brother's house to pay tribute, what's the matter, because you are the prince of Wujue, do you despise me?"

"Fourteen Lords have shown that there is an order from the court that the courtiers are not allowed to marry the prince's elder brother privately, and the ministers dare not break the law." Cao Yong said in his mouth, feeling that he lacked confidence.

There are few contacts with the fourth elder brother, but with the thirteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother, he is not a "secret relationship", but an "open friendship".

After the fourteenth elder brother finished speaking, he also felt that what he said was boring.

Cao Yong's identity is not only a minister, but also a relative of the emperor, the son-in-law of the seventh elder brother.After all, the other princes and elder brothers are all his in-laws, and it is not considered a violation of the system to keep in touch with each other.

There are less than a thousand cups of wine every confidant, but a few words are not speculative.

Although I know that Cao Yong is promising, I can get a lot of benefits if I win him over.But the fourteenth elder brother is a prince after all, and he has always been used to being arrogant.As long as I can remember, only others please him, there is no time for him to please others.

After talking to Cao Yong for a few words, the fourteenth elder brother felt depressed, waved his hand and pulled off the horse, and rode away.

This fourteenth elder brother is the future general king?
Knowing the son is like the father, it is estimated that the old man Kangxi knew his son's faults, so he led the army to march west.If it were another elder brother, he would win people's hearts, and Kangxi was not at ease, so he handed over the military power.

Another half an hour later, we arrived at Babeile Garden in Haidian Town.

Elder Fourteen got off his horse and put away the smile on his face, showing a bit of majesty.

The steward here also knows Elder Fourteen, so he invites people to the living room while inviting people to pass it on.

The fourteenth elder brother did not go to the living room, and said: "Ye Tong, Director Cao of the House of Internal Affairs, has ordered to visit the sick, so you don't need to go to the living room, just go directly to the eighth master."

Although the steward thought it was inappropriate, but he heard the word "imperial decree" and added that Brother Fourteen and Cao Yong were both wearing men's clothes, so he didn't dare to be negligent and led the way boldly.

"Is Master Jiu here?" Elder Fourteen asked, "I heard that Master Jiu was here to take care of you a few days ago, is there such a thing?"

"Back to Lord Fourteen, Lord Ninth was here a few days ago, and he hasn't entered the city for four or five days." The steward replied.

The fourteenth elder brother counted the days in his mind, and the ninth elder brother forced himself to jointly apply for an order, and he came here.

The ninth elder brother is so loyal to the eighth elder brother, in case the eighth elder brother has other thoughts, then the ninth elder brother is appointed to stand on the other side.If it is said that the eighth elder brother has no other thoughts, the fourteenth elder brother will not believe it.

No one is really reliable, Brother Fourteen can't help but feel depressed.

After entering the inner house, as soon as he entered the yard, he heard someone yelling angrily: "Finally showed up, what a big show, you still have the face?"

Standing in the porch and yelling loudly, it was the tenth elder brother who was full of anger.

The fourteenth elder brother was already guilty. When he saw the tenth elder brother, his face felt a little uncomfortable, and he hurriedly argued: "The tenth elder brother, the younger brother also wanted to come here earlier, but the military department is busy, and the northwest side..."

He wanted to say more, but he saw elder brother Jiu opened the curtain, came out of the room, gave him a cold look, and said: "Mynah is still ill, Master Fourteen, please be quiet."

Fourteenth elder brother's face was flushed, he didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything, he stood there, a little at a loss.

Brother Jiu had already seen Cao Yong, he was a little surprised, raised his head and said: "Are you here on order?"

Although these people in front of them looked wrong, Cao Yong had no intention of watching the excitement.These three elder brothers are quite "rooted" with him, and he really doesn't want to have other troubles.

Hearing Brother Jiu say this, Cao Yong replied truthfully: "When I returned to Master Jiu, I didn't receive the imperial decree. It was Master Fourteen who called me to greet Eighth Master and see the prescription from the Imperial Hospital."

The ninth elder brother looked at the fourteenth elder brother, and there was more searching in his eyes.

The fourteenth elder brother said: "Ninth brother, we have sent back the joint doctor's note a few days ago. Huang Ama asked my younger brother to work with the imperial physician to take care of the starling. Cao Yong is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He has nothing to do with the errand, so my younger brother called him." While speaking, he took out a folder from his sleeve and handed it to Brother Jiu.

Ninth elder brother took it, opened it and read it, but it was the same as fourteenth elder brother said.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, turned sideways, and said to the fourteenth elder brother: "Since the fourteenth brother came here on order, please come in. There is just one thing, I want to say it in the head. Eighth sister-in-law these days, Caused by worrying and worrying, it may be inconsiderate, please forgive me, my fourteenth brother." After speaking, he looked at Cao Yong and said, "Director Cao is also sympathetic."

The fourteenth elder brother and Cao Yong did not dare to talk together, and followed the ninth elder brother into the house.

The room was filled with a pungent smell of medicine. The eighth elder brother was lying on the kang with his eyes closed. He was already so thin that he was out of human nature, and he looked very frightening.

Not only the fourteenth elder brother, but also Cao Yong, were taken aback.Although there are rumors in Beijing these days that the eighth elder brother is dying, Cao Yong doesn't believe it.Because he knew that he lived to the Yongzheng Dynasty, so he shouldn't die so early.

Seeing Eighth Brother today, even Cao Yong was confused.I wonder if history will change. Does the eighth prince die early?
Ba Fujin sat by the bed, holding her husband's hand, and just sat there.Hearing someone coming in, she turned around and looked at everyone.

The sharpness in his eyes made the fourteenth elder brother feel a little terrified when he saw it, and murmured: "Sister-in-law eight..."

Ba Fujin stood up slowly, looked at Fourteenth Elder Brother and Cao Yong who were wearing patched clothes, with undisguised resentment on their faces, stretched out their hands, pointed at them and said, "What's the matter? You are so impatient? Let me tell you, our father is blessed with a great life, and he will live a hundred years! Get out of here!" At the end, he was already insane.

No wonder Brother Jiu said that on purpose just now, Ba Fujin is not only inconsiderate, he is already going crazy.

"Sister-in-law Ba has misunderstood. My younger brother is here on order to visit Brother Ba." Fourteenth Elder Brother heard her resentment in her words, and hurriedly distinguished.

"Following the order? Of course it was the order! The Fourteenth Master is a busy person, if he hadn't followed the order, how could he have come to our side?" Ba Fujin snorted coldly, looked at the Fourteenth Elder Brother and said.

Brother Fourteen felt a little guilty, but still bit the bullet and said: "Sister-in-law eight, I'm a bit busy with errands in the yamen these days, otherwise my younger brother would have come here long ago."

: "When Tao Min entered the city, the first thing he went to see was the Fourteenth Master. The Fourteenth Master was 'really busy'. Now the Fourteenth Master has seen it, and he has seen it. We will not leave you as a big Bodhisattva in this small temple. It's good that Fujin didn't listen, but after hearing this justification, he became more resentful and glared.

Seeing her shrill voice, Brother Nine was afraid that she would say something disrespectful to the emperor and plant the root of trouble, so he hurriedly said to Brother Fourteen, "Fourteenth Brother, Eighth Sister-in-law is a little anxious, Fourteenth Brother is considerate." Let’s go back today. As for the imperial doctor’s diagnosis and treatment, let Cao Yong listen and report to the fourteenth brother when he returns to the city.”

The fourteenth elder brother was repeatedly taunted by the tenth elder brother and eight Fujin, and he couldn't stay any longer.Hearing Brother Jiu's words, he nodded his head as if he had received an amnesty, explained a few words to Cao Yong, and went out.

Cao Yong was a little surprised, the fourteenth elder brother was unpopular, and he should not be much better.I don't know if Brother Nine has other reasons.

After the fourteenth elder brother left, Bafujin looked at Cao Yong with a dull look. He looked at Cao Yong, but he was much calmer. He nodded and said, "I heard that you love your daughter-in-law very much, and you should do your duty. If you behave like this, you should cherish your blessings." That's right. From our master's side, if you write a note to the imperial court, please report it truthfully." At the end of the speech, looking at the eighth elder brother who fell in love with him, a look of despair appeared on his face.

It seems that the eighth elder brother, who had a great reputation in the past, has ended up in this end, and Cao Yong can only sigh in his heart that the world is impermanent.

The current eighth Fujin no longer has the arrogance of the prince Fujin, just like an ordinary wife, showing unabashed concern and attachment to her husband.

"Yes, I obey the order." Cao Yong bowed in response, and felt a little sympathy for Ba Fujin.

Ba Fujin nodded, sat down on the small stool beside the kang again, held Ba Ge's hand, and just sat there.

Seeing this, the ninth elder brother sighed, and called the tenth elder brother and Cao Yong to retreat to the outer hall.

Although the fourteenth elder brother left, the tenth elder brother was still angry.Seeing that Brother Jiu left Cao Yong behind, he frowned and said, "Brother Jiu, just those two and a half bottles of imperial physicians, who tried their best, may not be able to do anything, so why discuss with Cao Yong?"

Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "Tenth brother, please be safe and don't be impatient. I am looking for Cao Yong." Speaking of this, he looked at Cao Yong and said, "Master sent someone to Beijing to look for you in the morning. You came just in time. , I have something to ask."

A fourteenth brother, looking for a Yoko, but stuck to Cao Yong, Cao Yong is having a headache.For Brother Nine, Cao Yong is even more reluctant to get involved.

But he couldn't refuse directly, so he could only vaguely say: "Jiu Ye is serious, what can Cao Yong do to be able to be Jiu Ye's favor?"

"I heard from the imperial doctor that your family has spirits that can reduce fever. The eighth master has started to have a fever these days, and has a rash all over his body. I don't like to beg for help, but I begged you." Brother Jiu stared at Cao Yong, Said slowly.

He had already made up his mind, no matter what method he used, he would buy the spirits in exchange.Threat Ye Hao, Ye Hao lure, absolutely do not give Cao Yong room for refusal.

"The minister understands, Master Jiu will send a fellow minister to fetch it." On Cao Yong's side, he nodded directly and agreed.

Brother Nine was quite surprised, he couldn't believe it, and asked, "Are you really giving it?"

Cao Yong said: "It's true. It's just that the fever is reduced. It only dissipates heat on the surface, and it doesn't radiate from the inside. It's not very useful. It's better to take it orally to reduce fever. It's serious when it goes to the root of the disease."

Cao Yong replied frankly, Brother Jiu was already a little excited.

All along, he regarded Cao Yong as an enemy, but he didn't expect Cao Yong to look at it calmly, as if there was nothing wrong with it.

For a moment, Brother Jiu couldn't help being a little confused.

The ten elder brother looked coldly at the side, seeing the change in the nine elder brother's expression, but Cao Yong was calm and unconvinced, and said: "Forgive me, you don't have the guts to refuse to give it. If it delays myna's illness, even if you cut off your head, it will be light." .”

When Cao Yong heard this, he naturally wouldn't answer the words, but he felt funny in his heart.Because what Brother Ten said was the truth.

No matter how much Kangxi hates the eighth elder brother now, the son is a son after all, it doesn't matter how much I toss, if outsiders follow to toss, it is also a face to the royal family.

Cao Yong has always been a cautious person, how could he leave this handle?
Besides, even if he gave it, he might not be blamed.After all, it is well known that Brother Nine had a rift with him, even if he took out the spirits to reduce the fever, others would think that he was being forced by Brother Nine.

In fact, in Cao Yong's heart, he didn't want Brother Ba to die.

His ignorance of history made him fearful.

However, how can there be so many things going well in this world?
Several people in the outer room had different thoughts and were still silent when they heard a wailing sound from inside the room: "Master, Lord... what's wrong with you..."
