Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 983 Poisonous Gas

The next day, the household department shifts.

There were not many people who reported to His Majesty in front of the imperial court, only three of them, the fourth elder brother who was the prince in charge, Sun Zhaqi, the minister, and Cao Yong, the servant.

The fourth elder brother came out to report first, and it was still for the matter of obtaining Jingcang.

In addition to the need to repair the warehouse and add warehouses, it is necessary to investigate the deficit of the previous Beijing warehouse, to pursue the responsibility of the corresponding officials, and to use the family property to make compensation, which is to be discussed by the Ministry.

This involves more than a dozen officials, all of whom have nothing to do with each other, and they are all officials of the official warehouse.

The so-called "Ministry Discussion" is just to see how much money they make up for compensation and whether the backstage is strong, and then divide them into third, sixth, and ninth grades for questioning.Those who are unlucky to become abandoned sons will not be able to escape and be dismissed from office and exiled; those who have masters and sons to protect them are just demoted or transferred.

On the surface, they are just low-ranking and low-ranking officials, and the highest-ranking ones are only fifth-rank doctors, and most of them are sixth-rank or seventh-rank; in fact, they are in important places in the capital.
After this investigation, maybe the fig leaf will be uncovered.At that time, what will be the court's face?

With Kangxi's usual temperament, for the sake of the good reputation of "Ming Jun", he would never allow Si Age to go to war like this.

I don't want to, but today is a bit abnormal.

Kangxi listened to Si elder brother's report, and he spit out "Zhun".

Surprised, Cao Yong couldn't help glancing at Kangxi secretly.

At first glance, I think Kangxi's complexion is fine, his complexion is rosy and his face is radiant; if you pay attention carefully, you will find that his forehead is covered with fine sweat, and the flush on his cheeks is not right.

Cao Yong's heart tightened, he retracted his gaze, and his heart jumped wildly.

300 years later, when the world talked about Kangxi's death and Yongzheng's ascension to the throne, there are different opinions, and there is no accurate version.However, the roughly mentioned locations are Changchun Garden.

For this, Cao Yong never doubted.

Because in recent years, when Shengjia was in Beijing, most of them were stationed in Changchun Garden, and the days in the palace could be counted.

The day after tomorrow will be Nanyuan Xingwei, looking at Kangxi's appearance, it is already a bit reluctant.

In Cao Yong's heart, he was a little flustered, not because he felt any kind of kinship, but because he knew that the big tree of the Cao family was about to fall.

Kangxi will remember the old love of the Cao family in one day. There are three people who love the old lady, Cao Yin and Li. This is the glory of the Cao family for 60 years and three generations.

When the fourth elder brother ascended the throne, all these advantages were gone.

The fourth elder brother is also a person who misses old love, but his thoughts go to extremes, and his likes and dislikes change too much, which makes people feel uneasy.

At this time, Sun Zhaqi had already walked out tremblingly, talking about repairing the three palaces of Changchun Garden, Xiaotangshan, and Summer Resort.

After hearing this, Kangxi was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The Ministry of Households don't use teachers to relieve the hunger. I dare not spend it recklessly. It is said that it is all because of the fatness of the people. The repairs will be discussed later."

When it was Cao Yong's turn to come out, it was more trivial.

The river work this winter and next spring will require 300 million taels of silver; the eighteen counties of the three prefectures of Gansu and Shaanxi have lost their harvest due to the severe drought, and hundreds of thousands of people need relief; the 25 counties of the seven prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River have been flooded. ,etc.

There are seven or eight places in total, and Cao Yong has handed over the detailed booklet this morning.

When Cao Yong reported to play, Kangxi had already signaled Zhao Chang to find out the folder and send it back to Cao Yong: "One of the river workers will be played, and the others will be discussed by the Ministry." After finishing this sentence, he motioned for everyone to kneel down.

Cao Yong followed the fourth elder brother and Sun Zhaqi, and before he exited the imperial tent, he heard Kangxi's suppressed cough.

Sun Zhaqi walked slowly and squarely, as if he had never heard of it; the fourth elder brother frowned, hesitated for a while, and left the tent; Cao Yong thought of Longkodo again.

Nanyuan Xingwei came from the Eight Banners guards, and there were also Eight Banners stationed at Changchun Garden.The capital and deputy capitals of the Beijing Defense Eight Banners were all appointed by Kangxi, so it is difficult for them to change.

Will the nine admirals blockade the capital?

Is there any big movement?

Cao Yong hesitated in his heart, should he find a reason to sue his illness and avoid this crisis.Then he denied this idea. In this turbulent moment, if you stay away from the center, the news will be blocked, and everything will be passive.If there is any change, there is not even room for a buffer.

At this moment, the fourth elder brother turned around and said a few words with Sun Zhaqi and Cao Yong, and then hurried away.

Sun Zhaqi was trembling, and wanted to take a step ahead.When Cao Yong asked him for something, he went with him and talked about the use of silver in Lifan Academy.

No need for Cao Yong to say much, Sun Zhaqi also knew that the money was needed urgently.The money will be prepared soon after the encirclement in the next day.

This has something to do with the face of the imperial court. There is still a hot Longkodo standing in the Lifan Academy, and Cao Yong speaks again, so Sun Zhaqi will not find it boring.

But let him sign, he is very happy to sell this favor to Cao Yong.

It's just that the officialdom has been ups and downs for a long time, so I am cautious.When he returned to the tent, he said he deserved it, but he didn't take up a pen to sign his name immediately. Instead, he touched his reading glasses and read it carefully before writing his name.

Because of his age, Sun Zhaqi was very afraid of the cold, so he kept two servants in the tent to wait on the charcoal basin.Several layers of cotton pads were used at the door of the tent, so that no air-conditioning could get in.

However, due to the constant snowfall in the past few days, the charcoal was a little wet, which made the tent smell of carbon dioxide in a hurry.

As soon as Cao Yong entered the tent, he realized something was wrong.

He inhaled with his nose, made another accusation, walked to the charcoal basin and took a look to confirm that his guess was correct, Fang said: "My lord, the gas produced by wet coal is harmful to the body. My lord should change the two Basin of charcoal, the gas in the house will also dissipate."

"Gas?" Sun Zhaqi put down his pen, stroked his beard and said, "At first, I still felt my nose was choked. After two days of smoking, the old man has gotten used to it, so don't worry about it."

Seeing him disapproving, Cao Yong said, "Did you feel dizzy, nauseous, palpitations, and weak in the past two days?"

Sun Zhaqi hesitated, nodded, and said, "That's true, it's just that when you get up early, it will be better if you go out for a walk afterward."

"This is because of the wet charcoal. Fortunately, my lord, the symptoms are mild, otherwise it would be dangerous." Cao Yong is not exaggerating, the danger of gas poisoning cannot be taken lightly.

He had a cousin who died with her husband on the night of her wedding trip. The cause of death was gas poisoning.

After working together for two years, Sun Zhaqi knew that Cao Yong was not a talkative person, and he was just doing this for his own good by exhorting him for a few days.

He thought about it, and it was true.If you stay in the tent for a long time, you will feel dizzy and stuffy; if you go out to get some air, you will feel more comfortable. There is something wrong with the tent.

He thanked him sincerely and sent Cao Yong out of the tent.

Han Shangshu Tian Congdian was recuperating due to illness, and it was not easy to bother him with official business, so he didn't have to make a special trip to find him to sign, which saved Cao Yong a lot of trouble.

Next, as long as the booklet is shown to the fourth elder brother, it can be handed over to the imperial court.Therefore, after coming out from Sun Zhaqi, Cao Yong went to the fourth elder brother's tent.

The fourth elder brother's tent is in the east of the Yujia camp, and the nearby tents are all from the royal family's Baylor Mansion.

Cao Yong ran for nothing, because Si Age was not in the tent.

Although Cao Yong was curious about where the fourth elder brother went, he was not qualified to inquire about the whereabouts of a prince and prince.He had no choice but to say that he would see the fourth elder brother if he had something to do, and he would come back in the afternoon.

The notebook in my hand will be handed over to Yuqian tomorrow morning, and I must let the fourth elder brother have a look at it before then, so as not to be picked out by him.

Before returning to the bank account, he saw Xiao Man coming looking for him.

"Didn't I say it? There's nothing important, so don't leave the station easily." Cao Yong frowned.

As long as there is Kangxi in the place, it will be the center of fluctuations. Cao Yong does not want to have any hidden dangers, so he has already told the few family members he brought.

"It's the second master who is here, waiting for the master to go back in the tent. Unexpectedly, the prince also arrived eagerly. The little one has no choice but to come out to find the master." Xiao Man wiped the sweat from his brow and said.

Cao Yong took out his watch and glanced at it. It was not yet noon.

Ge Yanke Yanpil wanted to see Hang Seng, Cao Yong was full of reluctance, and arranged for it again, that is, this afternoon.Unexpectedly, the two men were a little impatient.

Cao Yong quickened his pace, and Xiaoman could barely keep up.

In Cao Yong's tent, the scene where the father and son met was a bit deserted.

Ge Keyanpile greedily looked at Hang Seng's face, and said in a hoarse voice: "You are much taller and stronger than last year, and your appearance has also grown...more and more... the more you think about it, the more you look like your mother..."

Compared to his excitement, Hang Seng was much calmer.

Hang Seng was unfamiliar with the man in front of him who regarded himself as a father, so he was wary.

In the past two days after returning home, Cao Yong had a heart-to-heart talk with him, mentioning his future and future.

In Hang Seng's eyes, Cao's Mansion is the real home, not the so-called King Khan's Mansion thousands of miles away.

After hearing what Ge Ke Yan Pi Le said, Hang Seng's expression remained unchanged and he did not answer.

Seeing his silence, Ge Yanke Yanpile couldn't bear it, no matter how good Cao's mansion is, a sojourn is a sojourn
He only thought that Hang Seng had been wronged, but finally couldn't help it, and said: "I'm going back to Khalkha in a few days, it's hard to live under the fence, you can go back with me!"

This did violate the tacit agreement he made with the Cao family last year, but he didn't feel guilty at all.

The adopted son of the Cao family and the companion of the emperor's grandson, looks decent, but is actually vulnerable.

These days in the paddock, they met by chance, and Gelke Yanpil saw that Hang Seng was behind Hongli like a little follower, feeling very unhappy in his heart.

Hang Seng raised his head and looked at Gelke Yanpil with a clear expression.

What my father said was right, this person in front of me really used the banner of "parent" to influence his life.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Gelke Yanpil saw that he was moved, and said: "You are my son, the young master of King Khan's mansion, and the people of Zasaktu will prostrate at your feet. That is a place of aquatic plants. It is a fat and vast place, you will definitely like it."

When Hang Seng heard this, doubts appeared in his eyes.

According to the father, the "father" in front of him has another wife and two legitimate sons.

The difference between concubine and concubine is not obvious in Cao's mansion, but it is very particular outside.Without a concubine, the reason why the concubine should inherit the title, even children know this reason, why does this person lie to himself?

Hang Seng has heard and seen all these years, and he is a little tired of being the "bastard son" of the Mongolian prince.

Hang Seng replied loudly, his tone was extremely firm. "I want to study in the capital..."

Tears, the seventh time, Xiao Jiu begged for a monthly pass.
