Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 948 Commentary
"You are an old man who is useful by Huang Ama's side. You have to work hard even if you don't have credit. Even for Huang Ama's sake, Yinzhen is willing to ask Wei to take charge." The fourth elder brother thought for a while, and said: "But I don't know Wei. What kind of difficulties did the general manager encounter, and you are so frightened?"

"Slave servant... Slave servant has no intention of spying on the secrets of heaven, I am afraid that I will be 'scourge'..." Wei Zhu said with a trembling voice, weeping.

From the way Kangxi looked at him, he knew that the time of the emperor's death was the time of his death.Not for anyone else, but because I was too close to the emperor, seeing and hearing many things that I shouldn't have seen or heard.

Ants still steal their lives, let alone humans.

He was very anxious, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Kangxi. He only escaped the catastrophe by acting as if he had resigned himself to his fate and waited for death.

The one who wants to kill him is the emperor; the one who can save him is the next generation of emperors.

Who is the next generation of emperor is unknown to outsiders, but it is not a secret to Wei Zhu.

He has carefully endured these many days, and finally had the time to meet the fourth elder brother, and he will not give up this opportunity.When we arrived in Rehe, there were so many people, it was even more difficult to see each other.

"Tianji?" The fourth elder brother pondered endlessly, looking at Wei Zhu, as if he wanted to read the answer from his face.

Wei Zhu had knelt down again, and slowly replied: "My lord, last month, my servant has respected the emperor's order to go out of the palace twice to ask for divination from Baiyun Guanluo!"

Hearing the words, the fourth elder brother only felt a "buzz" in his head, and his body was already stiff.

He has an eyeliner in front of the imperial court, and a sticky place in the city, so he knows that Wei Zhu went out of Beijing twice and went to find Luo Xiazi twice, and he also guessed in his heart.However, listening to Wei Zhu's words now, it seems like seeing the sun through the clouds, but I don't know whether the next words will confirm my guess, or there is something unexpected.

At this time, Wei Zhu said: "The first time, on the seventh day of March, the maidservant Chenchu ​​(seven o'clock in the morning) left the garden, and Chenzheng (eight o'clock in the morning) entered Beijing, and went to Baiyun Guanluo's place, and asked a horoscope... ...The second time, on the fifteenth day of the third month, the maidservant asked for Si Ye's horoscope from the lord the next day, and then went to Luo Zhenren's place, and asked for the same horoscope."

Wei Zhu is an imperial eunuch who cannot read.But Master Luo is blind and cannot see.Wei Zhu was ordered to ask the horoscope, and naturally he remembered the horoscope very well.

The fourth elder brother's heart was beating like thunder. Needless to say, the second question was Hongli's horoscope, so whose was it the first time?Which prince is the emperor's favorite prince?

"The first time what... the horoscope?" The fourth elder brother asked in a deep voice.He didn't show it on the face, but his heart was full of turmoil, and he still had some faint expectations.

"Returning to the lord, the servant remembers it for real. It is the year of Wuchen, the month of Jiayin, the day of Guiwei, and the time of Xinyou." Wei Zhu replied honestly: "Although the servant and servant are illiterate, their memory is not bad. What's more, the emperor The master said it several times."

The fourth elder brother felt cold all over the place when he heard it.

In the past two years, the emperor's father has attached great importance to him. Although he is not visible in front of others, he is secretly happy in private.For no one else, but for my decades of hard work, I finally got into the eyes of the emperor.

In the year of Wuchen, Xiao Long was exactly the horoscope of Fourteenth Elder Brother.

Why can't I compare to my bluffing younger brother in the heart of the emperor after working hard for more than ten years?

The fourth elder brother was so depressed that he felt a little bit of resentment.

But he didn't know that what Wei Zhu said was half-truth and half-false in order to protect himself.Nothing else, just to make him resent Kangxi.If he had no resentment towards Kangxi, under the word "filial piety", he would never disobey his father's order for Wei Zhu, a lowly eunuch.

Speaking of acting, this Miyagi city is a big stage, since Wei Zhu can make it to the position of chief executive, then his acting skills are perfect.

"What's the meaning of the horoscope?" Brother Si asked through gritted teeth.

"Returning to the prince, Master Luo wrote four words. The slaves are illiterate, but they are blind. When they go back to work, the emperor's face is not good. Just looking at it, it doesn't look too surprised." Wei Wei Zhu replied: "The emperor was very disappointed, he used a lot of food for those two days; and then on the day when he went to the prince's home, the emperor was more happy about eating."

The fourth elder brother only felt that his chest was tight, yes, Jiangshan Sheji, how can there really be a mad Taoist priest to make a decision.

The fourteenth elder brother's horoscope must have been calculated by the emperor long ago, and there was something wrong with it, but he didn't give up, so he asked Wei Zhu to find Taoist Luo who was said to have "little supernatural powers" to calculate it once.

No matter how hard others try, as long as he is not the emperor's favorite son, his work is in vain.The second elder brother was like this back then, and now the fourteenth elder brother is like this.

Although the "Great General King" is well-known among the people in the capital, the fourth elder brother is in charge of the household department and knows everything about the expenses of the Northwest.

Where there are any serious achievements, those people in the military department have thick skins, only flattering the fourteenth elder brother, talking nonsense, and saying that there is no shadow.

"The second horoscope?" Brother Si asked, holding his throat.

"Xinmao year, Dingyou month, Gengwu day, Bingzi time." Wei Zhu replied, seeing that the fourth elder brother was about to emit green smoke, and before the fourth elder brother finished speaking, he took the initiative to say: "At the beginning, the slave was telling the eight characters After Immortal Luo, Immortal Luo was extremely shocked. He said that the fate of the world was over after the discovery of the secret. On the side of the emperor, he suffered from insomnia that night and did not sleep until dawn the next day.

The second "Bazi" belongs to Hongli.

The fourth elder brother didn't feel excited, but felt uncomfortable.Even his son is recognized by the emperor; he has worked hard for decades, but he has not gained any benefits.

"I agree with you, and I will protect you for the rest of my life." The fourth elder brother had a hint of venting.

No wonder Wei Zhu was so bluffed, it turned out to be on those two horoscopes.The imperial father loves the fourteenth elder brother the most, even if he does not pass the throne to him, he will protect him to the end...

Cao Mansion, study room.

After hearing what Jiang Jian said, Cao Yong couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "How could this be?"

Guixiang Village, the second largest Nandian shop in the capital, was involved in a lawsuit and "poisoned" two wandering Taoist priests.This entrance thing is taboo and unclean, and the word "poisonous killing" is even more eye-catching.

"Is someone else scheming?" Cao Yong said.

It's not that he's sensitive, but that there must be a reason for this turmoil.

Among the rich and powerful, who doesn't know that Guixiang Village is the place of Brother Jiu, who dares to easily pull the tiger's beard?

No, since the end of last month, after Master Luo "disappeared", there were rumors that he disappeared after eating the sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus village.

Now, no one knows where he is buried.

Cao Yong just listened to these miscellaneous news about the capital.But after hearing the end, he also understood that the disappearance of Daoist Luo was probably caused by the root servant haunting Baiyun temple.

Longkodo is still looking for people all over the city, but everyone knows that Luo Xiazi is probably in danger.

In the end, the news spread to the inner house, and even Mrs. Li heard the news, and said to Cao Yong: "It's a pity, that is the real god. Brother Jiu is so immature, I am afraid that he will always stumble. when.

In a blink of an eye, it was April eighteenth.

Cao Yong got up early, had breakfast, bid farewell to his wife, children and mother, and took Hang Seng out of Beijing.

Cao Yong originally wanted to bring all four sons with him, but God blessed them three to take the government exam in April, and after the government exam, they had to prepare for the exam in August, so they had to stay in Beijing to prepare for the exam.

Shengjia only travels thirty miles a day when he leaves Beijing, but Cao's carriage travels hundreds of miles every day.In this way, three days later, Cao's father and son caught up with the Shengjia brigade at Wangjiaying.

In the tent, Cao Yong asked someone to get food for Hang Seng after washing.

In the distance, the sound of firearms was heard.When Cao Yong heard this, he became suspicious, so he asked Hang Seng to eat first, and he went out of the tent.

Although the imperial court has a firearms battalion, firearms are prohibited items and are forbidden to be brought to the imperial court.

At this time, gunshots rang out again. Cao Yong raised his eyes and looked around, and finally saw a few familiar figures in a quiet place.

The sixteenth elder brother, the twenty-first elder brother and Huangsun Hongli, look at the meaning, it is the sixteenth elder brother who taught Hongli firearms.

Seeing Cao Yong, Elder Sixteen was full of joy, and said: "Why is it so fast, I thought you would arrive in Rehe at the end of the month. Now that you are here, it is just in time."

Seeing the anxious look of Sixteenth Elder Brother, Cao Yong smiled and said, "What happened? Is Sixteenth Master counting on the money bag of the Mongolian Prince again?"

Brother Sixteen laughed "hehe" twice, and said, "The one who knows me is Fu Ruoye!"

At this moment, Brother 21 and Hongli have already walked over.

21 Elder brother, is the cousin of Cao Yong's chrysanthemum, Chen, who is Cao Yong's cousin.He was the same age as Hongli, his nephew and uncle stood together like brothers.

Although the two of them are young, but their status is distinguished, Cao Yong can only bow to say hello.

21 Elder brother's biological mother is a Han woman, she is just a noble person in the palace, she has been taken care of by the Cao family for many years, and she is very close to the Cao family in her heart.

Not to mention the patriarch of the Cao family, his "cousin" Cao Yong, is a character he has always liked, so naturally he will not put on airs of the prince and elder brother.

He gave a little help, and said: "Master Shi Lang, get up quickly. Brother Sixteen has been talking about it since he left Beijing, but I hope that Sir Shi Lang will come. Congratulations." At this point, he turned his head and smiled at Hong Kong. Li said: "When it comes to archery, I'm only half tuned. Mr. Cao is very powerful. If you get him to be your master, you don't have to worry about archery anymore."

Hongli said with a smile: "Uncle 21 just wanted to be lazy, but he said it so nicely. Mr. Cao is busy with business, and the number of times he enters and exits the school grounds is not accurate. It's good to give me advice when he has time. If he doesn't have time to give advice, it's also my fault." .”

Cao Yong listened to the meaning of these words, 21 elder brother actually became Hongli's archery teacher, a little puzzled.

21 Elder brother is only a half-grown child, how superb is his archery skills, why does he teach Hongli?

"Huang Ama chose it by herself, named Master and Apprentice, but in fact it was just to be a playmate. Poor old man, I was also used by Huang Ama to make fun of me and become Hongli's firearms teacher." Sixteen Elder brother sees Cao Yong's problem, and he looks like he is not enlightened.

The sixteenth elder brother called the 21st elder brother to be free with Hongli, and he took Cao Yong to visit the thirteenth elder brother.

Since Kangxi abolished the crown prince in 47 years, it was the first time that the thirteenth elder brother followed him.

The thirteenth elder brother is in a very good spirit. When he saw Cao Yong coming, he asked about his new youngest son, so he had to congratulate him.

Brother Sixteen doesn't have a son-in-law, so he's so greedy...
