Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 922
Cao Yong's surrogate mother, Xie En, handed it over for more than half a month, but there was no reply.

Although Mrs. Li was determined, she was still afraid of the emperor, and she was afraid of causing trouble to her children because of herself, so she didn't urge her son to quickly find a way to return the things.

Anyway, she made up her mind not to move any of those belongings.

Even with the outside world, she no longer socializes, and stays behind closed doors in the name of worshiping the Buddha.

People outside can ignore it, but there is still a Tian Gonggong in the mansion.

Chu Yu listened to her husband's order, and ordered someone to clean up a small courtyard in the northwest corner of the mansion, and put it in for Eunuch Tian and the two young eunuchs.The two little eunuchs who supervise Eunuch Tian are called "Grandpa", and they are the grandsons of Eunuch Tian. One is Xiao Linzi and the other is Xiao Anzi.

Mrs. Li couldn't confidently regard herself as a nobleman, but her resistance to the royal family did not diminish her respect and love for the Queen Mother.

Strange to say, the number of times she has met with the Queen Mother can be counted with one slap.Because the queen mother can't speak Chinese, the communication is very limited, but the queen mother's kindness is undisguised.

For this reason, Mrs. Li is also very polite to Eunuch Tian.

Listening to Eunuch Tian talking about the Empress Dowager's life, and the Empress Dowager's miss for Horqin, Li also suddenly understood.What would that Concubine Hui, who was born in Horqin like the Queen Mother, have never left the court?
Although there were many people staring at Cao's house outside, but seeing Li's closed door, Cao Yong went on business as usual, and over time, he lost interest.

After all, those who can ascertain Li's identity are all powerful families, and these people will not say what they think in their hearts.

The general officials and eunuchs are most concerned about the draft right now.

After Shengjia returns to Beijing, the Eight Banners draft will begin.

Although the Cao family did not have a daughter selected, but because the fourth sister and the fifth son were getting older, they did not catch up this time. Three years later, one fifteen and one fourteen were just candidates.

Even Cao Yong has to worry about the draft, who will let him take on the position of assistant leader of the world.Fortunately for him, he, a bannerman, is a retail investor. Apart from the Cao family, there are four main surnames. Although they are all Manchus, their backgrounds are relatively simple, and they are not connected with those prominent Manchu noble surnames.

Cao Yong, the assistant leader, is in charge of civil affairs, and has the household registration of every household in his hands.

There are two families with only daughters. According to the rules, only daughters can apply for exemption, but they have to report to the leader, and then the leader has to report to the leader for confirmation and verification.

There are also two other families who reported their parents' filial piety, which must be registered in the register, and the election will be postponed next time.

There is another family who reported that they were sick.Cao Yong will work with the people in the command office to take the doctor to this family to diagnose the candidate's show girl.

All in all, I have been tossing about for half a month.

In a blink of an eye, at the end of September, Shengjia returned to Beijing.

Every year on the first day of October, there is a big court meeting, and this year is no exception.

Shengjia still stayed in Changchun Garden, so Cao Yong could only get up in the morning according to the usual practice, rush to Chouzheng (two o'clock in the morning), and leave the city from Xizhimen.

His carriage looked plain from the outside, but it was comfortable and tight inside.In addition, there are official roads paved with bluestone slabs from Changchun Garden to Xizhimen, so Cao Yong squinted in the carriage.

Because it was the Great Court Meeting, all the capital officials of the seventh rank and above were here.

Cao Yong looked at his pocket watch and checked the time, so he didn't get out of the car in a hurry, and just rested in the carriage.

Today's grand court meeting is just a formality, promulgating the calendar for next year, sending officials to sacrifice to the mausoleum and so on.What Cao Yong thought about in his heart was what he should do, whether he should hand over the sign to see him or not.

After pondering for a while, he still decided to "brake with stillness".

At this moment, I heard Xiaoman's movement outside the carriage: "Master Yi..."

Cao Yong opened his eyes and heard someone outside the curtain of the carriage saying: "Is your grandfather in the carriage?"

It was Yiduli's movement, Cao Yong didn't wait for Xiaoman's answer, he opened the curtain and wanted to get out of the carriage.

This is an open space outside the Changchun Garden, and there are many carriages nearby.Yi Duli waved his hand, not letting him get out of the carriage, and bowed into the carriage by himself.

The carriage is spacious, and it is not crowded for two people.

This was the first time the two met after Yi Duli's entourage returned to Beijing.

Yi Duli lowered his voice and said, "Furuo, on the way back from Jehol to Luan, the Imperial Palace is very lively. The reason is the posthumous title of Concubine Hui, and the Ministry of Rites proposed 'Huai' and 'Ping'. But you have to choose between 'Yuan' and 'Zheng'."

This posthumous title has been divided into beautiful posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous titles since ancient times.

The first three empresses of Kangxi had posthumous titles of "Empress Xiaocheng", "Empress Xiaozhao" and "Empress Xiaoyi", all of which were beautiful posthumous titles.

This concubine Hui did not enter the imperial court during her lifetime, but she was named empress, which is already the emperor's will.

It seems that the few officials in the Ministry of Rites still cherish their reputation and can't do anything to flatter their master. The posthumous titles are all flat posthumous titles, which is fairly fair.

Kangxi's plan was overdone. It's okay for the "Yuan" and "Zheng" posthumous titles to be given to the ministers, but the posthumous posthumous posthumous concubine implies righteousness.

Even if Concubine Hui is conferred the posthumous title, her name must be listed after the other three. How can she take on the word "Yuan" or "Zheng".

"Is there any result in the quarrel?" Cao Yong heard the words and asked with a frown.

For Kangxi's farce of chasing the title, from his initial pity, he now has a little disgust.If Kangxi Zhengang was always arbitrary and named Concubine Hui "Empress Xiaoyuan" and "Empress Xiaozheng", what would the other three empresses' wives think?

Even if the Hesheli family is now in decline, the Tong family and the Niu Hulu family cannot be said to have power over the government and the public, but they are also one of the best families in the capital.

Cao Yong is the person who hates trouble the most, and he can't avoid it. If he is implicated by Kangxi for life, it will be strange if he can be happy.

"I heard that the two great scholars knelt and remonstrated for many days, so the emperor did not issue an order. However, now that the holy driver has arrived in Beijing, the posthumous title should be almost settled." Yi Duli replied in a low voice.

Since Cao Yong left the Shengjia garrison with five hundred guards, all kinds of rumors have spread in the garrison.

Yiduri's heart has long been full of curiosity like a kitten scratching.He wanted to ask Cao Yong, but Li Shi was involved here, so he swallowed the words that came to his lips because he was disrespectful after all.

At this moment, the dawn is breaking in the east, and the sky is getting whiter.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Cao Yong got out of the carriage with Yi Duli, and entered the garden together with the civil and military officials, and waited for Kangxi to come to court outside the gate of the second palace.

For a short time, the clan princes and Baylor also lined up, and the sixteenth elder brother was among them.

Cao Yong wanted to ask him a few words, but it was not cheap to have too many people, so he had to wait until after the Great Court Meeting before calling Brother Sixteen to talk in a secluded place.

"Huang Ama has gone too far. Even if you remember Concubine Hui, those two words can be used at will? Furuo can rest assured that several university scholars and officials from the Ministry of Rites will stop in front of you. Huang Ama will always understand. Come on. If Huang Ama is really allowed to draw up these two words, those university scholars will be ridiculed as jesters by the world." Elder Sixteen was not worried, and said to Cao Yong: "Listen now. When Huang Ama mentioned those two words, I also panicked, but during the seven or eight days on the road, even if Huang Ama was impulsive, she should calm down."

Hearing what Brother Sixteen said, Cao Yong was at ease.

What's the use of mourning after death if you don't cherish it while you're alive?It's just to seek peace of mind for oneself, but to offend the purity of others.

"What do you say about the third master and the fourth master?" Cao Yong asked.

"I didn't say anything. Even if the third brother is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, as a son of man, there is no room for him to speak. However, looking at Huang Ama's intentions, because the Ministry of Rites drew up two words of posthumous posthumous titles to vent his anger on him, he lost his temper." Something. The fourth brother has a bad face, he has a deep affection for Xiaoyi's mother and son, and I'm afraid he doesn't want the posthumous title of Concubine Hui to be stronger than that of Xiaoyi's mother." Sixteenth elder brother replied.

After hearing this, Cao Yong couldn't help touching his forehead.

Kangxi thinks it out as soon as he thinks it out, what should others do?

In fact, Elder Sixteen was wrong.

The fourth elder brother was indeed in a bad mood because of this posthumous title, but it was not for his adoptive mother's injustice.He was one of the few people who knew the secrets of the court back then, so he knew the true identity of Borzigit's Yuyin.

Compared with Yuyin's dignity, any posthumous title can be justified.

However, this "nobility" cannot be declared.Although after more than fifty years, the insider was either silenced or died of old age, but there are always clues left.If the emperor's father makes such a big splash, he must attract the attention of interested people.

There is a Li family here, if you follow the Cao family and the Li family to trace the origin, you can see the tip of the iceberg.If we go to thoroughly investigate the three generations of the Horqin Palace, the truth will be vague.

If the truth is found out by the world, then this is unethical, and I don't know how the literati will attack it.

Back then, many literati were killed and many books were banned because of the "marriage" of the queen mother.The fourth elder brother didn't want to hurt the face of the emperor's father, so he kept hesitating in his heart, if the emperor insisted on going his own way, would he be "faithful to his ears".

It was during the hesitation of the fourth elder brother and the anxiety of Cao Yong. On the third day of October, Concubine Hui's posthumous title finally came down. Since then, there has been a fourth queen in the Kangxi Dynasty-"Queen Xiaoqi".

Kangxi Shengjia returned to the palace from Changchun Garden, and went to the Taimiao to proclaim the world.

The queen's mother's family was also rewarded.

A farce finally came to an end.

Cao Yong thought that there was no record of this queen in the history books of later generations, and wondered if the fourth elder brother made people delete this history.

According to the rules, the history of the Kangxi Dynasty should not be compiled and revised until after Kangxi passed away and the fourth elder brother came to power.Therefore, the so-called history cannot be trusted.

But he didn't know that the fourth elder brother was thinking about it.

Aunt and nephew's disobedience is really a great scandal, just thinking about it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Although the fourth elder brother was ordered to entertain many Mongolian princes in the past few months outside the Great Wall, the same was true for the third elder brother, so the fourth elder brother was still not sure.

He felt that the emperor's father seemed to have chosen him, and it seemed that he wanted to choose between him and the third elder brother.

When it comes to family background, the third elder brother took up the word "long"; the fourth elder brother raised the middle palace and took up the word "gui".

Thinking about it this way, Brother Si panicked.

At this time, the Fourth Prince's Mansion ushered in a great event, the side Fujin Nianshi gave birth to a little prince safely.

Although it is a baby in swaddling clothes, many people still look sideways.

Although the third elder brother of the fourth elder brother's mansion is already eighteen, the fourth elder brother has no intention of establishing a son.Nian's father and brother are dignified, this little elder brother might be the heir to Prince Yong's mansion...
