Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 949 Fate
On April 27, Shengjia arrived in Rehe.

Compared with the increasingly hot weather in Beijing, Rehe at the end of April is still a little bit cold, and it is slightly cold in the morning and evening. It is necessary to change into a lined jacket to feel warmer.

Cao Yong was very restless. On the day he arrived in Rehe, he checked a sum of money approved to the Ministry of War in the official office half a year ago.The money was nominally rewarded years ago to the Eight Banners of Fujian Province.

Because of Taiwan's rebellion last year, Kangxi was wary of the green camp in Fujian, and transferred many bannermen from the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing.When the war is settled, these people will go north and return to the station.

Which of these Eight Banners masters didn't go there with the idea of ​​making a fortune in the past?

I don't want to, Shi Shifa, the late Admiral of the Fujian Navy, was a warrior on the water. Before they, the Eight Banners masters, arrived in Fujian, they led the navy to pacify Taiwan.

These uncles are already dissatisfied with the lack of meritorious service on the battlefield, and they concentrate on waiting for the court's grace.I thought there would be a big reward from the imperial court, but unexpectedly, what I waited for was the news of the reduction of horse rations.

Fujian General Huang Bingyue, under the pretense that he wanted to send people to Beijing to play and ask them to go back to the capital, deducted the money from these Banner Masters, and promised to return the money if he didn't do anything.

After all, it's just looking for a reason to deduct soldiers' pay, which is a common thing in local green camps.

But, among the eight bannermen, which one is easy to get along with?

They are idle in the capital, they only take advantage of it, where is there a time when they are at a disadvantage?
After traveling thousands of miles to Fujian, not only did they not get any reward money, but they also paid for three months of food and salary. How could these uncles not be annoyed.

When they got the news, they knew that Huang Bingyue had withheld the money and didn't send people to Beijing, but they all paid tribute to a fan who was raised by them, and these old men quit.They gathered at night to besiege the general's gate, and wanted to settle accounts with Huang Bingyue.

Huang Bingyue naturally avoided it, how dare he confront these uncles.Afterwards, the governor's yamen and the capital's yamen were alarmed, and the chiefs of the two departments came over and persuaded the people for a long time before telling them to disperse.

According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, no matter what the reason is, it is a violation of the law for soldiers to gather riots without authorization, and they must be severely punished.The local government didn't dare to hide it, so they took hundreds of bannermen involved in the trouble into custody, reported it to the imperial court, and waited for the imperial court to deal with it.

What Cao Yong has to do is to drop out last year's accounts, check the amount of money allocated to the Ministry of War in the second half of the year, and find out about the cost of raising soldiers in Fujian.

The result of the investigation was that the horse grain and silver money in December last year had not been reduced at all, and all of it had been allocated to Fujian.

If the confessions made by those troublemakers were true, this Fujian general Huang Bingyue not only withheld half of the horse rations and silver, but also withheld the soldiers' pay for three months.

Although it is true that the local government is not peaceful, it is true that Huang Bingyue is so greedy.

When it comes to Fujian, Cao Yong is quite sensitive. He always feels that this is not just the embezzlement of food by the military officer and the gathering of soldiers, but also that there is something behind the scenes.

Although he was surprised in his heart, Cao Yong was only on duty in the household department, and what he could do was to organize the relevant accounts into books.

After finishing the accounting books, it will be the first day of May.

The princes and ministers who followed him all went to the imperial court to listen to the government.At the court meeting, there was a news that Shi Shilun, the governor of water transportation, begged for rest due to illness, and Zhang Dayou, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, went to Xi'an to take over Shi Shilun's errand.

For some reason, Cao Yong suddenly thought of the "lore order" in his mind.He thought about the letter he wrote earlier, and wondered if Shi Shilun was vigilant.

When the dynasty came to an end, Brother Sixteen came to look for Cao Yong, and Cao Yong realized that what he had expected was right. Shi Shilun's "illness" was indeed unusual.

The people under the jurisdiction are called "Shi Qingtian", who was praised by Kangxi as "the most honest official in the world".

Not only did the court have to send someone down to take over Xiao Xia's errands, but crucially, there was also a life-saving imperial physician.

"Even though Mr. Fang is on the hospital booklet, he is not familiar with the court rules. Please Fu Ruo envoy to return to Beijing personally. Please Mr. Fang go to Xi'an as soon as possible." Sixteenth elder brother said.

Cao Yong nodded in agreement, and saw Elder Sixteen hesitantly, he said in a low voice: "Second rank official, to be treated like this, Huang Ama is furious, I'm afraid Nian Gengyao won't be able to escape."

"How?" Cao Yong asked.

Elder Sixteen glanced around to make sure there was no one there, and then said: "Shadow, it seems that Nian Gengyao has been involved again. I heard that this year's time, Governor Nian played his best in Xi'an. Everyone around Afraid of other slaves, only Shi Shilun has an upright heart. In this way, the two will match in the eyes of outsiders."

After hearing this, Cao Yong couldn't help gloating, it was not easy for everyone.

Nian Gengyao had to know how to bear the consequences after he finished playing with his prestige.Kangxi allowed his courtiers to discord, but he didn't like officials playing tricks on each other.

However, thinking of Shi Shilun's sixtieth birthday, Cao Yong couldn't help laughing.

After saying goodbye to Elder Sixteen, Cao Yong did not return to the official office, but returned to Cao Yuan and wrote a letter in his own hand, asking Wei Hei to return to Beijing for a walk.

If it is to send a letter, you can't use a confidant like Wei Hei.In fact, after arriving in the capital, he had to escort Fang Zhonggong to Xi'an.In the end it has nothing to do with Hongmen, Cao Yong was very curious and wanted to explore one or two.Not for anything else, just for self-protection.

When he arrived in Rehe, Hang Seng didn't have any friends, and he didn't feel lonely. He practiced with Bala and China all day long, but he put in a lot of effort and achieved remarkable results.Reading was tutored by Jiang Jian. Although he did not become a supernatural power, he gradually became enlightened.

Cao Yong promised his son to let him practice riding and shooting well, and when the holy driver was surrounded, he would take his son to see the world.

In a blink of an eye, it's the Dragon Boat Festival.

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother sent people to send all kinds of food, and it was hard to hide the coldness of Cao Yong and his son celebrating the festival independently.

Hang Seng is straight-hearted, he treats people really well, he was teased a few times by Elder Sixteen, and he doesn't hold grudges, it makes people happy just watching him.

After being busy with the relief accounts for the Yellow River breach for a few days, Cao Yong was planning to go back to have a rest, when the fourth elder brother summoned him.

In Cao Yong's heart, the fourth elder brother who is about to ascend the throne is more difficult to deal with than Kangxi, so he is very careful to deal with it.

The fourth elder brother looked indifferent, unable to see any joy or anger, asked a few errands in his words, and then asked Cao Yong to bring his nephew to Rehe.

Cao Yong was a little confused, he really didn't know why the fourth elder brother would mention this, but he answered honestly: "Returning to the lord, this time I am following the retinue, because the eldest son Zhan coincides with the boy's trial, so I only brought my second son Lin with me. "

The fourth elder brother's expression was unclear, and he said for a long time: "I heard what Huang Ama meant, that he wanted to find a companion for Hongli to read among his relatives and noble children. If the prediction is correct, Huang Ama originally wanted your eldest son. It's just that Not here, Lin Ding is in the roster." As he spoke, he stared at Cao Yong, not letting go of the slightest change on his face.

When Cao Yong heard the words of the fourth elder brother, he was shocked at first, then smiled bitterly, and said: "My lord, it's not that I am humble. To be honest, the dog's qualifications are not enough, and he is good at martial arts; in terms of writing, he just knows how to read and write."

His expression was natural, without any falsehood.

Seeing this, the fourth elder brother felt a little admiration for Cao Yong.As other parents, I don't know how happy I am to have received this grace.The benevolence of Mrs. Cao Yong is true, but her compassion for the poor and the weak is also valuable.

No wonder several monks met Cao Yong and said that Cao Yong had roots of wisdom, presumably because of this.

Cao Yong always felt bitter in his heart, very uncomfortable.

Although he already knew that Hang Seng's future was not controlled by him, but at this moment, the superiors had to arrange Hang Seng's future and accept all kinds of ridicule, which was really uncomfortable.

He also worked as a companion reader in his early years, so he knows what companion reading is.If you fight with others for your master, you will be punished by your husband.

The next day, when Cao Yong rested and took a bath, the sixteenth elder brother received the emperor's oral order and went to Cao Garden to pick up their father and son and go to the Summer Resort to meet him.

Cao Yong's heart was heavy, while Hang Seng raised his head and looked at Brother Sixteen puzzled.

Brother Sixteen touched his forehead and said: "Since the holy order has been given, even if you are too scared, you have to take a walk in the past, this will not make it difficult for your father."

Hang Seng seemed to understand, but he was obedient and went back to change clothes.

After a cup of tea, Cao Yong changed into his clothes, took his son, and entered the summer resort with Brother Sixteen.

Where Kangxi was, there were already several ministers waiting outside. Seeing Cao Yong coming, he lowered his voice and came up to greet him.

For a while, I saw the servant come out to pass the decree, and passed on the audience of Cao Yong and his son.

Kangxi sat on the kang, looking at the big and small in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.The two on the ground were worried, they didn't show it on the surface, they just waited carefully for the emperor's order.

Originally, he wanted to ask a few questions about Hang Seng's homework, but seeing that he was straightforward, Kangxi didn't bother to say something to deal with it.

Although Hang Seng is young, he is a child of everyone. He was well-bred, and his manners are extremely well-behaved.Even when Kangxi ordered their father and son to get up, he took a step forward and helped his father up.

Seeing this, Kangxi became more and more satisfied.

Cao Yong sighed endlessly in his heart, it seems that Hang Seng's companions are almost inseparable.

Sure enough, two days later, Cao Yong received the imperial decree that Hang Seng was studying with the emperor's grandson Hongli, and he will study with Hongli from now on.

The child raised by himself, even if he is not pampered, has never been wronged in the slightest, but now he has to serve others and live by his appearance.Even if he is serving the future emperor, it may not be a good thing for a child.

Personally sent Hang Seng to the gate of the Mountain Resort, Cao Yong watched the guards lead Hang Seng in.

Hang Seng turned around and saw his father standing there, shaking his little arm vigorously.

Hongli was also very surprised that Hang Seng was his companion.

These days, the pointers and teachings given to him by his grandfather also made him vaguely understand something.

This time, my grandfather specially arranged Uncle Sixteen and Uncle Twenty-one to be his masters, not because those two martial arts are superb, but because Hongli is in the palace, it is not easy to be attached to his grandmother and adoptive mother, he needs to move around, needs uncles and nephews The relationship is further warmed up.
Seeing Hang Seng, Hongli remembered how his younger brother tricked him into licking the ice, and looked at Hang Seng pleasingly.

After entering the palace for more than a month, Hongli saw more human sperm; could it be that there was a scheming one, he smiled a little, but he was really happy...
