Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 987 Riluo ([-])

Although Cao Yong was ordered to go to Changchun Garden to deliver the booklet, he was not so uninterested in rushing.

Sheng Jia didn't hesitate to move to Changchun Garden because of his dragon body, so he hurriedly followed. Even if he arrived at Changchun Garden before Sheng Jia, he couldn't pass the paperwork like an idiot.

It's just that the fourth elder brother has spoken, and Cao Yong has to be "submissive".

After returning to his tent, he sent Xiaoman to prepare the carriage.He changed into a big woolen coat and wore it as an official uniform to keep out the cold. It would take two hours to walk from Nanyuan to Changchun Garden for four or fifty miles.

When he got there, it would be dusk at the earliest, so it was understandable that he couldn't deliver the paperwork.

Tomorrow morning, what should we do? Let's hear what Elder Sixteen has to say...

*
Shengjia was still walking slowly on the official road, Zhao Chang was already on the horse, and with several guards, he left the Luanjia team and went directly to the capital.In the distance, several other riders followed behind.

Whether it is the fourth elder brother or the third elder brother, who is the one waiting to die?
Regardless of whether Kangxi was really seriously ill or fake, they all put on layers of eyeliner and stared at Shengjia.

When they saw Zhao Chang coming out of the Prince's Mansion in Lianshun County, with the sedan chair of the Eight Fujin and Emperor Hongwang next to him, someone hurried to Nanyuan.

Therefore, before Ba Fujin and Hongwang arrived at Changchun Garden, the fourth elder brother had already got the news.

Since it was a decree, it means Shengjia woke up.The prince and the clan were not summoned, so it is temporarily...

The fourth elder brother didn't know whether it was disappointment or peace of mind. While ordering people to continue to inquire, he took a pen and wrote a few words in a hurry, sealed it with wax and sent him back to Beijing to Dai Jin.

On Bafujin's side, he received the order in a muddleheaded way, and got people into a carriage in a muddleheaded way.

She is a widow at home, and the news is not as well-informed as the outside world, and she still doesn't know about the dragon's body.I just know that Shengjia is in Nanyuan Xingwei, and many princes and grandchildren have gone.

There is only one son, Hongwang, in the eighth elder brother's mansion. Although he is not formally canonized as the eldest son of the county king, he is the legitimate heir.However, even so, this grand event in Nanyuan is not the same as Ba Age's House.

The eighth elder brother has been dead for six years.

Ba Fujin's resentment towards Kangxi has never diminished in the slightest.Therefore, when she was summoned inexplicably, although she was puzzled, she was not afraid.

Hongwang was already fifteen, studying with two teachers in the mansion.

He didn't have the composure of Fujin Bafujin, and he felt very uneasy, but his upbringing as the emperor's grandson made him not shrink back.It's just that his body was tight, the hand holding the rein of the horse, the blue veins popped out, revealing his nervousness.

Zhao Chang glanced at it, surprised in his heart.

He entered the palace late and had never seen Eighth Brother, but when the servants in the palace were gossiping, when they talked about the princes and elder brothers, they would all praise Eighth Brother for his good demeanor.The eighth elder brother's birth mother, the concubine Liang, was born in a low family, but she was a gorgeous person in the six palaces.

Hongwang didn't have any demeanor, he was a little more cautious in his words and deeds, and a little less extravagant.He looks a bit stocky, his facial features are not outstanding, and he doesn't have the Danfeng eyes of the Aixinjueluo family like Hongxi, Hongli, and Hongming.

Although Bafujin is domineering, Hongwang is the only little elder brother in Baage's house. In order to provide for his old age, Bafujin should also treat Hongwang kindly.

Then, as soon as he covered his face, Zhao Chang could see the indifference between the mother and child.

Bafujin was arrogant and had no intention of getting close to the concubine; Hongwang was just afraid of unfamiliarity and did not try to please his biological mother.

Zhao Chang sighed in his heart. The Ba Prince's Mansion, which used to be crowded with people, has lost its vitality after Ba Prince's death.

In their group, they came out of Ba Age's mansion in the second quarter of Shenchu, and when they arrived at Changchun Garden, it was already the beginning of the unitary period, and it was getting dark.

At this time, Shengjia had already entered Changchun Garden.

Because of Zhao Chang, Bafujin's carriage went directly into the garden.

Cao Yong also went outside the garden, and sent someone to send a message to elder brother sixteen, waiting for elder brother sixteen to come out.

He didn't know Bafujin's carriage, but he had seen Hongwang's.

Others may not guess Kangxi's purpose of summoning his wife and grandson for a while, but Cao Yong has seen Cao Yin's critical illness.

When a bird is about to die, its sound is also sad; when a person is about to die, its words are also good.

Zhiran's mother and son were originally Cao Yin's secrets; before he even died, he left a letter to Cao Yong and entrusted them to his son.

If Kangxi is going to die, it is understandable to think of the young son who died of illness.

Although the emperor has no family affairs, this is a trivial matter among the royal family and does not affect the country's fortune.But the Khalkha kings who are still in Nanyuan are related to the stability of northern Xinjiang.

The siege will be held tomorrow, and the kings will leave the capital in four days. Can Kangxi last for these four days?
Thinking of this, Cao Yong's face was a little heavy.

At this moment, I saw a few people coming out of the garden and walking quickly.

The one in front is the sixteenth brother, followed by a few servants, all of whom are unfamiliar.He looked at Cao Yong, a little surprised: "Why is Fu Ruo here?"

Cao Yong took out the booklet asking for money from the Lifan Court from his bosom, and handed it to him: "Why else? The Seventeenth Lord urged me to come. After the hunting tomorrow, I will start using the money, and I will return it today." Nowhere."

Brother Sixteen took the booklet, frowning tightly, and said: "I can pass this booklet over for you, but... time is tight, so don't expect too much... If there is no news at noon tomorrow, call the old man Seventeen sent people to the bank to pay..."

This result, Cao Yong is not unexpected.

He glanced at the gate of the garden, and the guards were still the same as before, no additional manpower was sent.

It seems that there will be two more days of peace.

Even if the two are friends, Cao Yong also knows how to avoid taboos.He nodded and said, "Understood. It's been cold these days, Master Sixteen should take care of himself."

Brother Sixteen understood what he meant, nodded his head, looked at the sunset in the west, and said, "It's too late to go back to the city, and it's farther back to Nanyuan, how do you arrange it tonight?"

Cao Yong said: "Go back to my home and settle down for one night... Would you like to come over at noon tomorrow and wait for the news from Lord Sixteen?"

He could see that Elder Sixteen was not cheap to speak now, so he asked tentatively.

"That's it." Elder Sixteen said, showing some fatigue.

Cao Yong watched the sixteenth elder brother enter the garden, then slowly walked to the place where the carriage was parked, got in the carriage and left.

Naturally, this movement also fell into the eyes of others.How to guess in the end is not known by Cao Yong...

*
Don't talk about Cao Yong, just talk about Bafujin, guess all the way, wondering what the emperor will say when he summons.

If she had been summoned a few years ago, she might not have been able to bear it, and asked for justice for the eighth elder brother; now, after many years, the resentment is still there, but the anger is not so strong.

Say a few words loudly, even if you don't question the crime, you are just like a clown.It is of no benefit to those who have gone or those who may.

Unexpectedly, after entering the garden, she and Hongwang waited until it was time to light the lanterns, but neither saw Sheng Jia.

When some young eunuchs came to pass the decree, it was not the decree to summon them, but to let them leave the garden immediately.

Bafujin almost exploded with anger, but he didn't dare to disobey the order.

After leaving the garden, the north wind gradually picked up, blowing the windows of the carriage like rattling.I can't go back to the city, and I can't put it in a carriage.

The eighth elder brother's mansion has a garden in Haidian, but because it is the place where the eighth elder brother died, the eighth elder brother has not set foot in these years.

Now, it is the north wind, and when it is cold and freezing, when it comes to a sad place, Bafujin can no longer be hot, and weeps bitterly...

This night, Cao Yong slept very badly.

In the past few years, there have been few people living in Caojiayuanzi, only the servants are left to watch and clean.Especially Cao Yong's residence has not been lived in for several years.

The room was cold and the quilt smelled musty.

The steward sent some charcoal basins, and took some woolen blankets and spread them under the mattress, and tidied them up so that they could barely accommodate people.

Cao Yong's insomnia is not because of these.

Although the patrol battalion will come to the north of the city to patrol, but near the Changchun Garden, there are troops stationed in the Three Banners of Manchuria, which are held by the Son of Heaven.

No matter how long Longkodo's hand is, it can't reach here.

If the fourth elder brother really usurped the throne, outside the history books, it would be a bloody storm.

Of the four Cao family brothers, two are in Beijing and two are outside, they have nothing to do with each other.

However, it was inexplicably frightening.

After tossing and turning, Cao Yong didn't fall into a drowsy sleep until dawn in the east.

When I opened my eyes, the sky was already bright.

Although the appointment with the sixteenth elder brother was at noon, Nanyuan had to send a letter back.

After breakfast, Cao Yong called Xiaoman and told him to go back to Nanyuan to answer Brother Seventeen.

After breakfast, he squinted for a while and saw that it was almost noon, so he went to Changchun Garden again.

When we arrived at the gate of the yard, before we could find someone to send a message to Elder Sixteen, we saw Zhao Chang coming out of the garden.In his hand, he held a yellow satin bag, looking at the size and length, it looked like an imperial decree.

Not far away, several guards were already waiting with their horses.

Seeing Cao Yong, Zhao Chang stopped to see him, and then asked: "Master Cao is looking for Master Sixteen?"

Cao Yong responded on the surface, but he was more on guard in his heart. He didn't understand why he, a servant who passed the decree, paid attention to this.

"Your servant just heard Master Sixteen ordering someone to come and check, so I asked Mr. Cao a lot. Don't be surprised, Mr. Cao. Speaking of which, I have to congratulate Mr. Cao." Zhao Chang said hoarsely.

If it was Wei Zhu, he usually had some friendship with the Cao family, this Zhao Chang basically had no contact with him, but now he deliberately exchanged pleasantries... Cao Yong glanced at the imperial decree...

"The emperor has a decree. The map of Gongsai is the capital of Zhengbai Banner Manchuria." Zhao Chang said in a low voice.

Manchuria Dutong, this is a senior military officer, starting from the first rank.

But, how can Cao Yong be happy?
At this time, the three banners are in charge, whether it is good or bad, we have to resign ourselves to fate.

He didn't show it on his face, he stuffed a snuff bottle into Zhao Chang's hand casually, and said with a smile: "It's really a happy event, so please trouble the leader. I don't know, apart from my sister-in-law, is there any other adults promoted this time? I'd better ask someone to prepare a congratulatory gift earlier, so as not to be negligent."

Zhao Chang said with a smile: "It's really called Mr. Cao. The emperor hand-picked, the twelfth master is the governor of the inlaid yellow flag, and Gong Wu Erzhan is the governor of the inlaid white flag. The servants have obeyed the order, so they will go to the city to give the three Grandpa sent an order to go."

The guards waiting in the distance saw Zhao Chang coming out and came over to ask when to leave.

"In this way, Cao will not delay the leader." Cao Yong said to Zhao Chang upon seeing this.

Zhao Chang was not in a hurry to leave, and then he came back and called a little eunuch, and ordered him to help Cao Yong invite Brother Sixteen.

Cao Yong couldn't help thanking Cao Yong, so Zhao Chang said goodbye to Cao Yong, got on the horse, and went away surrounded by several guards.

At first glance, it may not seem obvious that the emperor newly appointed the capitals of the three banners, but at the end of October, Kangxi had just replaced the capitals of the Zhenghong and Zhenghuang banners.

In this way, all the Five Banners Manchuria are new.Among them, the three members of Shangsanqi are all clan members.

Thinking of Seishtu, Cao Yong really followed Xuanxin.

At this time, I can't say a word.Otherwise, disaster might be planted.

After a while, Elder Sixteen strolled over, looking much more relaxed than yesterday.

Behind him were two servants, also holding yellow satin bags in their hands.

Brother Sixteen waved his hand and sent them away. Fang took out the booklet from his sleeve and handed it back to Cao Yong, saying: "Fortunately, Huang Ama read a few paperwork just now, so I will pass this over."

Cao Yong took it, opened one, Zhubi imperial approval, a "quasi" word...
