Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 986 Sunset ([-])

Cao Yong did not deliberately inquire, but at noon, he still heard the news of Shang Buyu.

Sheng Jia returned to Changchun Garden, except for the sixteenth elder brother, the other princes who followed him continued to stay in Nanyuan to participate in the siege.

In the seventies of the Kangxi year, I came to Nanyuan for half a month to entertain the kings of Khalkha, and I have done my utmost honor and favor.

His return to Changchun Garden this time did not cause much disturbance among the Mongolian princes.Because the great lama is not as good as Kangxi, he only stayed in Nanyuan for two days, and then returned to Beijing to settle in Huangsi.

The other Manchu and Han courtiers who came to participate in the siege were not surprised when they heard the news.Everyone knows that there was a heavy snow yesterday, and the weather will be even colder after the snow.

Only Cao Yong was drinking tea when he heard the news.

Surprised, he nearly dropped his glass.

Only he knows that Kangxi died at the end of 61, and next year will be the first year of Yongzheng.

Cao Yong stood up, feeling turbulent in his heart.

He paced up and down, but could only wait.

The second-class uncle, the second-rank servant of the household department, is regarded as a high-ranking official in the eyes of foreign officials, but in a place where the rich and powerful gather in the capital, he is really nothing.

Longkodo was able to block the Nine Gates after the death of Kangxi and control the political situation in Gyeonggi.

For this, Cao Yong never doubted.

These nine admirals are common names, not only controlling the nine guards, but also the chief officer of the infantry capital's yamen.This infantry is in charge of the Yamen, governing the Manchurian Eight Banners infantry, and at the same time, it also controls the three battalions in the north and south, which are the green battalion horse infantry.

In addition to the inner city, the southern city and the north of the city where the Changchun Garden is located are all places for defense by the patrol battalion.

Longkodo controls one-third of the troops in Gyeonggi.

If there are courtiers in the capital who can turn the clouds and rains, only Long Keduo can do it alone.

Yongzheng ascended the throne for three years, only Gan Longkodo dared not reduce his power at all. Apart from taking him into consideration, he also used him to intimidate the clan and the Eight Banners dignitaries.

It can be seen that Longkoduo has been extremely fond of Li Si'er these days.

And this Li Si'er, judging from his past actions, is by no means a kind person.If she really hated the Cao family because of their refusal to marry, it would really be a big trouble for the Cao family.

Even Yongzheng had to take one "uncle" at a time, and acted as a sign of respect, how could the Cao family be able to compete.

Cao Yong stroked his forehead straight, hoping that Yongzheng would come to power, end the drama of seizing the heirloom, and the court would be calmer.Who would have thought that at the end of the day, another Li Si'er ran out and made the Cao family a villain.

But there is no room for maneuver, no matter what the Tong family's daughter is, as long as the Tong family is prosperous and declining, the Cao family cannot marry her.

Isn't this Li Si'er the daughter-in-law of Princess Xiao Xiangjian's mansion?It seems that it is better to have trouble diverted to the east.In a few days, Chuyu's birthday, should she tell Wanyan a word?

Although it is suspected of provoking, it is not that being a gentleman can avoid villains.

Just as Cao Yong was thinking wildly, he saw someone come in through the curtain, and it was Brother Seventeen who was panting heavily.

Seeing that Cao Yong's expression was cloudy or cloudy, Elder Seventeen said, "Fu Ruo, please come down for the silver reward from the Lifan Academy?"

Cao Yong heard the words, glanced at the direction of the desk, smiled bitterly and said: "Not yet. Sun Shangshu has signed it, but I didn't see the fourth master yesterday, so the booklet was not handed to the imperial court."

Brother Seventeen heard the words, frowned and said: "How good is this, it's time to spread money tomorrow?"

Cao Yong's heart moved, and he said: "Master Seventeen, why don't you go down and look for Fourth Master now?"

Elder Seventeen's eyes flickered slightly, then he nodded and said, "That's right, what's the use of being anxious? Let's go find him."

Cao Yong went to the desk, took the banknote from the Lifan Court, and went out of the tent with the seventeenth elder brother.

The seventeenth brother's footsteps were very fast, and Cao Yong hurried to catch up with him.His face lost the eagerness just now, and his brows were tightly frowned, with a bit of dignity.

This feeling is a little strange.

Cao Yong's feet were fast, and his mind changed rapidly.

The seventeenth elder brother was looking for himself, not for money, but more like looking for an excuse for the fourth elder brother.

These princes were worried about Kangxi's dragon body, and they were afraid that they were also uneasy.

But it was in vain, the fourth elder brother was not in the tent.

The seventeenth elder brother showed some eagerness, and asked the eunuch on duty in the tent.

This eunuch's name is Chen Fu, and he is a servant of Prince Yong's mansion. Although his status in the mansion is not as high as that of Su Peisheng, the chief executive of the mansion, he has often served the fourth elder brother in the past two years.

It's just that he is young and his qualifications are not as old as Su Peisheng's, so he doesn't have Su Peisheng's arrogance, and he treats Elder Seventeen and Cao Yong respectfully: "Master Seventeen, I don't know if I'm still a servant. After Sheng Jia left Nanyuan, he came back, sat for a while, and then went out, but the master didn't leave a word about where he was going."

Cao Yong was listening, a little strange.

Brother Seventeen has already been to Brother Four's tent?Then come here again at this moment, what do you mean?
"I'm looking for your master in a hurry!" Elder Seventeen sat down, and said angrily with a posture of waiting for someone: "Seeing that it's time for lunch, your master must not stop eating, right?"

Chen Fu didn't dare to say anything, so he had to ask the little eunuch to make tea.

He really didn't know where the fourth elder brother was going, but as a slave, it was not easy for the seventeenth elder brother to wait for a prince.How could he afford to be delayed if something urgent happened.

But it can't make people go out to search around without a head. He is a little embarrassed and doesn't know what to do for a while.

Because of errands, Cao Yong has been to Si Age's tent several times these days, and he is quite familiar with this Chen Fu.Seeing that he seemed to be in a dilemma, he explained from the side: "There is an account from the Ministry of Accounts that is related to the Li Fan Yuan, and it needs to be reviewed by the fourth master before being handed over to the imperial court. I should have waited yesterday, and I was negligent."

Chen Fu heard that it was just a matter of the yamen of the household department, so he heaved a sigh of relief and nodded gratefully at Cao Yong.

At this moment, Elder Seventeen's mood became more stable, and he said to Cao Yong: "I greeted Fu Ruo a long time ago, but Fu Ruo has dragged on until today, isn't this really worrying?"

There was a bit of complaint in his tone, and his gaze towards Cao Yong was still the same.

Cao Yong nodded in agreement, but he understood in his heart that Brother Seventeen's words were explained by Chen Fu.

I would rather offend a gentleman than a villain.

These eunuchs are physically handicapped, few are healthy, and many are sinister and vicious.Brother Seventeen has been confined in the palace for a long time, so he knows that he can't easily offend them.

Chen Fu is often by the fourth elder brother's side, but he does not impress the fourth elder brother's rigidity. Instead, he is a person with a clear mind and a smart temper.

Seeing that Elder Seventeen suppressed his anger, he glanced at the clock standing next to the desk, and then personally served tea to Elder Seventeen, and said with a smile: "Master Seventeen, don't worry, it's about to end soon. It's (two o'clock in the afternoon), and it's almost time for our grandfather to come back for dinner."

Elder Seventeen nodded and said, "Is your master still fasting these days?"

Chen Fu nodded, and said: "Since we came to Nanyuan, our master has been a vegetarian. Our master is merciful and never sees killing. This hunt is a matter of killing. Our master will chant the scriptures for an hour sooner or later."

When Cao Yong heard this, his heart twitched.

It is true that the fourth elder brother believes in Buddhism, but what he does is glaring at the diamond, which has nothing to do with "compassion".

Elder Seventeen heard this, but it was quite interesting, and he said to Cao Yong: "It is the fourth brother who can be so devout. If it were me, if I didn't eat meat for three days, the temple of the five internal organs would be against the sky... ..."

As he said this, he heard footsteps outside the tent, Brother Seventeen couldn't help but stop talking, and looked towards the door of the tent.

It was the stern-faced fourth elder brother who picked up the curtain and came in.

The seventeenth elder brother and Cao Yong both got up to salute, the fourth elder brother was slightly startled when he saw them in the tent, and then his eyes swept over the faces of the two.

"You... looking for me..." The fourth elder brother nodded in return, returned to the main seat, the host and guest sat down, and then asked in a deep voice.

There are seventeen elder brothers, Cao Yong is not in a hurry to answer.

Elder Seventeen stood up and said, "Fourth brother, it's about rewarding the silver after hunting in Khalkha! It's going to be used tomorrow, and the Ministry of Households hasn't invited the silver yet."

The fourth elder brother heard the words and looked at Cao Yong: "You came to look for me yesterday because of this?"

Cao Yong got up and said: "It's right to go back to the fourth master. It's just that the fourth master is not here, so I went back. I should have come back last night to ask the fourth master to show me. It was my negligence." He took out the booklet and sent it with both hands. To the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother looked at him, took the booklet, and his originally rigid face suddenly softened.However, in a blink of an eye, it returned to the old way, making Cao Yong suspect that he was wrong.

Even if he read the book yesterday and sent it to the imperial court this morning, it is of no use.

The imperial father's dragon body is not hesitant...

Before the emperor left Nanyuan, he only saw the sixteenth elder brother and the imperial physician, and did not summon anyone else.

The fourth elder brother felt a little uneasy, so he gave birth to those few imperial physicians, and went directly to Changchun Garden with Shengjia.Elder Sixteen only showed his side, and it was difficult to say anything under the eyes of everyone and others.

It's just that when the eyes met, Elder Sixteen's lips moved quickly.

for?Wei?latitude?dangerous?
The fourth elder brother was horrified, fearing that he might be wrong, he stared straight at the sixteenth elder brother.

Elder Sixteen, however, was quite scrupulous and didn't dare to make any more moves, so he rode out of the paddock following Sheng Jia...

It wasn't until just now that the fourth elder brother got the news of the preparations.

Sheng Jia announced the imperial physician before breakfast, but did not announce breakfast, and then Sheng Jia did not leave Beijing until noon, but apart from entering the imperial medicine, the imperial tent did not announce lunch.

Even if you are seriously ill, you still have to eat some food; if you don't even pass on the food, it's not just that you are very sick, and you may not be able to eat rice water.

Thinking of this, the fourth elder brother couldn't sit still, so he went directly to Long Kedo to inquire about the news.

Longkodo didn't have any confidence either, the two of them were suspicious and dared not act rashly.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to the tent, Cao Yong sent a booklet.

Since the money was urgently urged, it was reasonable for him to go to Changchun Garden to ask His Majesty to see him.

The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows, just as he was about to speak, he swallowed it back.

How could he have forgotten that Huang Ama is the most suspicious when he is old, if the old man is not as seriously ill as he imagined, and he charges himself with "spying on his illness" and "with ulterior motives", wouldn't he be wronged?
After being cautious for decades, the more critical it is, the more calm you will be.

"Since it is urgently needed by the Lifan Academy, I would like Mr. Cao to come to the imperial court and ask the emperor to show me." The fourth elder brother thought clearly, handed the booklet back to Cao Yong, and said.

Cao Yong took the booklet, hesitant.

The dragon didn't hesitate, and it didn't take long to walk from the Nanyuan camp.At this moment, if Cao Yong goes to Changchun Garden quickly, maybe he will be able to catch up with Shengjia before he reaches Changchun Garden.

that is it.Is it disturbing Shengjia's "cleanness"?
At this time, if you go up to it, you might get a whole body fishy.

"Fourth Lord, I will use the money tomorrow. I'm in a hurry to pay from the Household Department. How about letting the Seventeenth Lord borrow money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs first, and wait for the money from the Household Department to arrive in a few days before making up the other end?" Cao Yong was very worried. He was speaking to the fourth elder brother sincerely, and he did not look at the seventeenth elder brother a few times during the period, and there was a bit of pleading in his eyes.

The fourth elder brother waved his hand, his attitude was very firm: "Tomorrow morning, we will have a round of siege, and we will have a banquet in the evening. There is still a day and a half to deal with. There is no need to bring in the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

He said resolutely, if Cao Yong shirks again, he is afraid that he will offend others.

Cao Yong bit the bullet and agreed, and after the fourth elder brother signed the paper, he put away the paper and said goodbye to the fourth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother.

It wasn't until he left that Elder Seventeen showed a bit of anxiety on his face, looked at Chen Fu, and stopped talking.

The fourth elder brother sent Chen Fu down. The seventeenth elder brother asked eagerly: "Fourth elder brother, how is Huang Ama? I met sixteenth brother in the morning. Thinking about it now, sixteenth brother's face was very ugly. Seeing Hongli and me, we didn't even have the time to talk, so we hurried to the imperial tent. Hongli also saw Zhao Chang come out of the sixteenth brother's tent and headed for the imperial physician's temporary office."

After listening to the fourth elder brother, his complexion became more and more serious.

Even though he was suspicious, he would not suspect that the imperial servant had a secret relationship with the sixteenth elder brother.

He and the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother can get along like brothers and sisters because the two of them have no capital to seize the heirloom, and they never get involved in the important matter of seizing the heir.

First look for Elder Sixteen, and then pass on the imperial physician, which only shows that the dragon body is so insecure that he can't even pass on the imperial physician himself...

Can't eat, can't teach the imperial doctor, so it's not hard to guess what happened to the emperor's father.

After being suspicious for a long time, it was only at this moment that he got the accurate news. The fourth elder brother felt a "buzz" in his head, his breathing became more and more rapid, his limbs were numb, and he could not move at all.

Seeing that he was wrong, Elder Seventeen's face turned pale, and he spoke with trembling voice: "Fourth brother, is this what you are? Fourth brother!"

The seventeenth elder brother called several times, and the fourth elder brother woke up.

He took a deep breath, raised his head, and said quietly: "Seventeenth brother, in order to prevent people from being turbulent, please be careful with your words!"

Elder Seventeen nodded and said, "I know, apart from Fourth Brother, I didn't think about talking to anyone else..."

The fourth elder brother was concerned about chaos, but he was negligent. If Kangxi hadn't woken up, with the sixteenth elder brother alone, he wouldn't have the guts to order him to move away.

That's right, at this moment, Kangxi has already woken up.

It's just that he is very lacking in energy, squinting his eyes and seeming to be asleep.

Wei Zhu was waiting in the Luanjia, holding his breath and concentrating on it. For some reason, he thought of the "big fairy" in the city.

As for the emperor's "return date", the "big fairy" has already figured it out, but he just saw that the horoscope is precious, saying that he did not dare to reveal the secret, but in fact the secret has been revealed.

The emperor knew this, so he said the words of letting himself be buried.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhu shivered.

Ants are still alive, let alone people?
There is no oral order for burial, even if the emperor is afraid of being alone, and there are concubines in the harem, why does he need to be buried as an eunuch?
The fourth elder brother promised to keep himself safe until his old age...

Thinking of this, Wei Zhu realized that in a panic, he forgot to send a letter to the fourth elder brother.

He drooped his head, and was looking for an opportunity to get someone to spread the word, when he heard Kangxi say: "Tell... the eight Fujin and Hongwang Changchunyuan have an audience..."

*
I fell to eighth, and I cried and begged for a monthly pass.Please look forward to the small climax tomorrow.
