Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 976 Arrangement
After Kangxi sent Zhiran and Hongli away, he didn't intend to resettle them immediately.

He closed his eyes, calmed down, and then ordered Zhao Chang to pass on Longkodo and Elder Seventeen.Zhao Chang went away in response, and Wei Zhu obediently replaced the hand stove that Kangxi had put aside earlier with new charcoal.

In addition to the original four charcoal basins in the tent, two more were added because of the snow.In addition, under the imperial tent, in order to keep warm, earth dragons were caged, making the tent warm and tight.

Wei Zhu was already sweating lightly, but because of his personal service, he knew that the emperor was afraid of the cold.

Since the beginning of winter, the heat on the emperor's body has become less and less, and he has become more and more afraid of the cold.

After Wei Zhu changed the furnace, he raised his hands and sent it respectfully to the front and back of the imperial court, and Kangxi reached out to pick it up.The arm was a little unsteady, and the fingers slid over the back of Wei Zhu's hand, which was cold, making Wei Zhu's heart tremble.

He looked secretly, and his eyes fell on Kangxi's hand.In addition to being covered with age spots, the hands were emaciated, revealing blue blood vessels.

At this moment, Kangxi suddenly lowered his head and coughed.

Wei Zhu took a quick look at Kangxi, and seeing the frightening blue color on his face, he couldn't help being startled.He hurriedly lowered his head and said eagerly: "My lord, do you want to teach the imperial physician?"

Kangxi waved his hand, Wei Zhu didn't dare to say more, poured half a cup of warm tea and brought it in front of Kangxi.

Kangxi reached out to take it, took two sips, and finally stopped coughing.

Because of Cai Cai's cough, his face was rosy, and his complexion seemed a little better than Cai Cai's.

At this moment, Zhao Chang has come back to reply to the decree. Longkodo and the seventeenth elder brother have arrived and are waiting outside the tent.

"Biography." Kangxi sat upright, doing it straight, and he could no longer see the senility of just now.

After the two knelt down to pay their respects, Kangxi asked, "Is the day of the parade set to be on the eighth day?"

This was reported yesterday, I don't know why Kangxi asked again, Longkodo and Seventeenth Brother were a bit puzzled, bowed and said "yes".

"When is the return journey of the Khalkha kings...?" Kangxi asked.

Long Kedo and the Seventeenth Brother looked at each other, and the Seventeenth Brother was still out of line, bowed and said: "If you come back to the Emperor Ama, because Jebtsundamba is old and can't bear the cold, Khalkha The return journey of the kings is scheduled for the beginning of spring in February next year."

Kangxi was silent for a while, and said: "Zhebtsundamba is profound in Buddhism and highly respected. I want to keep him in the capital to give lectures. After the Wanshou Festival next year, I will send him out of Beijing...Kalka came to court the kings, and within three days after the siege Returning with a banquet...The [-]th elder brother and the [-]th elder brother arranged for the banquet and the silver reward, and Long Kedo arranged for the arranging and seeing off."

Longkodo was shocked when he heard the words, raised his head, and almost blurted out full of doubts.

Fortunately, the moment he opened his mouth, he remembered that the old man in front of him was not only his own cousin, but also his own brother-in-law, and also his emperor's master.Therefore, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

The emperor has always been arbitrary, so there is no room for other words.

But in this way, Jebtsundamba's good intentions may be in vain.He used his body as an excuse to keep the Khalkha kings in the capital in the future. The purpose was to strengthen their determination to get close to the court and prevent their selfishness from causing turmoil in Khalkha.

Longkodo was just full of doubts, but Brother Seventeen secretly complained.

It is already the third day of the junior high school, and it is only five days away from the eighth day of the eighth day of the junior high school, and the final return date set by the emperor's father for the kings is only eight days.

On the day of the encirclement, there will be a banquet and gold and silver, which is a piece of silver; if they return to Mongolia, they will also have a banquet and related rewards, which is another piece of silver.

Originally thought that the kings of Khalkha would not return to Mongolia until after the next year. Most of the rewards prepared by the Lifan Academy were used for the day of the siege. The rewards for the big heads were not prepared. .

Within eight days, another amount of money must be prepared, and the amount is not small, at least 10,000+ taels.It seems that I can only go to the central government to grind Cao Yong; if the Ministry of Household Affairs can't grind it out, I have to rely on the bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs...

When they got out of the imperial tent, Longkodo and Elder Brother Seventeen looked at each other with heavy expressions.Seventeen elder brother raised money is of course bad, but Longkodo is not taking it lightly.

The imperial court has always used tricks to win over foreign feudal vassals, but now they want to find ways to drive people out, what is this called?
However, the emperor said so well that there was absolutely no room for taking back the emperor's order. As a courtier, although he was full of disapproval, he had no choice but to accept the order obediently, and he still managed to make things work out.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it can't be said that the emperor's order was wrong, it can only be because of his stupidity as a courtier...

After the two said goodbye, Longkodo went to the big lama's tent.The great lama is a wise man, so instead of foolishly passing on a message to the kings, it is better to come directly to the great lama.

Brother Seventeen went directly to Cao Yong's tent.

Only when I got to the tent, I heard someone lament: "Longkodo is a celebrity in front of the emperor. I will offend him. I am afraid that some people will suffer in the future. If it is too hard to endure, please ask Fu Ruo to pull it off." I give it a hand."

It was Yiduli's voice, and Longkodo was involved in the middle. It was inconvenient for Elder Seventeen to listen, so he coughed twice and raised his voice, "Is Cao Yong there?"

In the tent, Cao Yong heard Yiduli complaining for a long time, and he didn't know how to comfort him. Hearing the voice of the seventeenth elder brother, he hurriedly stood up with Yiduli to greet him.

Seeing Yi Duli, the Seventeenth Elder Brother said: "I didn't expect Master Yi to be here, just to trouble you to walk around, please come here with the Sixteenth Brother. The emperor ordered me and the Sixteenth Brother to arrange a banquet and a banquet after the siege. Reward silver."

Yi Du immediately responded, and went out to look for Elder Sixteen without mentioning it.

Elder Seventeen randomly found a chair in the tent, sat down lazily, looked at Cao Yong, and said with a bitter face: "Fu Ruo, do you still have any money in the treasury of the household department? Huang Ama means , After the siege, it must be practiced for the kings of Khalkha, and it is necessary to give some money, which is not a small amount."

"The tax money of the Fujian Division just entered the warehouse yesterday, but there are many places waiting for the money to be spent. River affairs, water transportation, military affairs in the northwest, and relief in the southwest, all need money." Cao Yong thought for a while and said.

Elder Seventeen heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Compared with these places, the money given by the foreign vassal is nothing. It's only 10,000+ taels of silver. Fu Ruo must think of a way to help me with this." Suffering." Speaking of this, there was a bit of sadness: "You also know that I have been ill for several years, Huang Ama sympathized with me, and let me hang up the errand of the Lifan Academy. I didn't think about making political achievements, nor did I want to Being treated as a waste snack. Please also ask Fu Ruo to help me."

Cao Yong has known elder brother Seventeen for more than ten years, and he can't tell that he is deliberately playing the bitter card.

It’s just that the seventeenth elder brother has already put on this posture. Even if Cao Yong knew that he was doing it on purpose, he could only act as a “justice” and said: “The seventeenth master wants to do a good job, and the minister can understand. You have a few days to work, so don't be too anxious, Lord Seventeen."

Just as Cao Yong understands the Seventeenth Brother, the Seventeenth Brother is also familiar with Cao Yong, and is most afraid of Cao Yong's carelessness.

Now, seeing that Cao Yong didn't refuse, he let go of his heart five points.Thinking of the sentence I just heard outside the tent, I became a little curious, and said, "What did Yiduri do to offend Longkodo? Look at his cowardice, even if he really offends, so what? He is thirteen Brother-in-law, as long as Thirteenth Brother comes forward to protect him, can Longkodo still eat him?"

Cao Yong listened, a little more clear.

Yi Duli is the brother-in-law of the thirteenth elder brother, Longkodo is the "uncle" of the fourth elder brother, and the thirteenth elder brother has the closest relationship with the fourth elder brother.

This Iduri and Longkodo, logically speaking, can be regarded as a lineup.Even if there is a rift between the two, Longkodo will not do anything with Elder Brother Thirteen.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't answer, which made Elder Seventeen even more anxious: "Hey, Fu Ruo, don't be distracted, I'm still waiting to hear the reason."

"Actually, it's not a big deal, that is, Mrs. Yidu Li's family doesn't allow their husband and wife to go to Tongfu's banquet, and they don't allow their husband and wife to send gifts." Cao Yong replied.

"Huh? What's the reason for this? Li Si'er has been officially granted by the imperial court and has become the hostess of the uncle's mansion. His status is different from the past." Elder Seventeen heard the words, and there was some difference.

Yi Duli was born in the prime minister's mansion and has been an official for many years, so he should know the importance of interpersonal relationships.Even though Mrs. Tai has a high temper and doesn't like the background of Uncle and Mrs. Xin Guo, she should think of Yi Duli and dare not be so arbitrary.

"The Seventeenth Lord forgot, the lady who disappeared first in the uncle's mansion was surnamed Hesheli, and she was the cousin of Mrs. Xiang's mansion." Cao Yong said.

The Seventeenth Master listened, thinking about the rumors about the uncle's mansion, and said: "For this reason, it is reasonable for the old lady to stop her son and daughter-in-law from going to the uncle's mansion for a banquet. It is also a rare thing. In this world, how many Can a person do this for the dead niece?"

Cao Yong and Yiduli have known each other for several years, and they are also colleagues. During these years of communication, they also greeted the Hesheli family.

In my impression, she is an old lady who likes to be quiet and elegant.

In Cao Yong's heart, he agreed with Hesheli's decision; if he could be more casual, he would not bother to take care of the uncle's house.

While the two were talking, the curtain pushed open the door, and Elder Sixteen came in with Yi Duli.

Both Cao Yong and the seventeenth elder brother stood up to greet each other, and the sixteenth elder brother nodded, as if he had met the two of them.

"Let the Mongolian kings return to Khalkha, at this time?" Elder Sixteen was a little confused: "They are not in Inner Mongolia, but in Outer Mongolia. Is it reasonable to travel in this cold winter?"

"The emperor's life is difficult. Whether they have worked hard or not on the road, we can't worry about it; we just need to think about it and finish this errand right now." Elder Seventeen replied.

Seeing that Elder Seventeen looked calm and Cao Yong had some helplessness on his face, Elder Sixteen knew that the matter of raising money fell on him.

Thinking of Cao Yong's leisurely life this year, Brother Sixteen smiled unkindly.Also should find something to do for Cao Yong, let him use his brain.

Respect the [-]th elder brother's order, please come besides the [-]th elder brother, Yi Duli saw that they wanted to talk, and wanted to avoid them, but was left behind by the [-]th elder brother: "Walking around and hosting a banquet, the Lifan Academy said it was the host, but It’s just a name, and we still need to make more efforts from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If there is no urgent matter, let’s discuss it together.”

Since Elder Sixteen had said such things, Yi Duli couldn't leave anymore, so he sat down and listened to the conversation...
