"Queen?" Cao Hao was quite surprised when he heard this.

This is not a trivial matter, according to the rules, to seal the descendants, to be kind to their children, and so on, it is cumbersome.

However, because it is "posthumously sealed", and this concubine Hui does not have a prince, it does not involve storage positions, relatively speaking, it is relatively cheaper.

Even if you want to add Korqin, you don't need to turn out the concubine from decades ago to chase the seal.

And this concubine stayed in the palace for a year, and she died before she was canonized.

Seeing Cao Hao's expression so calm, the sixteenth elder brother was a little admired. How did he know that Cao Hao didn't want this Hui Concubine to have anything to do with him at all.

What he learned from Mr. Zhuang was that his maternal grandmother was related to Wu Sangui and was Wu Sangui's granddaughter or granddaughter. Chu Yu speculated from the elite circle that Cao Hao's maternal grandmother was the daughter of the widowed eldest princess Gulun Shuhui.

Although the sixteenth elder brother occasionally mentioned blood relatives to him before, it was also vague. After all, for His Holiness, even if there are all kinds of speculations, it is not easy to announce it.

"The emperor didn't think of such a thing because he saw the silver in the inner treasury, right?" Cao Hao was puzzled and asked.

Could it be that history is going to change again without knowing that Kangxi has now canonized three queens. After the Yuan Hesheri clan, followed by Niu Hulu clan, followed by Tong Jia's clan.

I can't help but say that according to folk sayings, Kangxi, the emperor's eight characters, is too hard. Not to mention the loss of his biological parents in the year of his drooping, he also lost his wife three times one after another.

Xu is Kangxi himself knows this, since the death of the third queen in the twenty-eighth year of Kangxi, the throne has been vacant, and the queen has not been canonized again.

After more than 30 years, thinking of this again, it is no wonder that Cao Hao is unkind to think that Kangxi is full of food and money.

Seeing that Cao Hao was so ignorant, the sixteenth elder brother was surprised and said, "If Fu Ruo doesn't know that Concubine Hui is the same aunt...... Well, the origin of Tonglingtang? ”

Seeing that the sixteenth elder brother was asking each other seriously, Cao Hao raised his head and said, "What do you say about this?" ”

The sixteenth elder brother couldn't help but shake his head and said: "There are all kinds of things here, I have only heard of the fur, if I guess correctly, this Concubine Hui is the biological mother of my aunt." ”

After speaking, he patted his mouth vigorously and said, "Look at me, I still can't change my mouth for a while." ”

Since the moment he heard Kangxi say that he wanted to posthumously crown Concubine Hui, the sixteenth elder brother had already determined that the Li family was not his cousin or cousin, but his half-sister.

The Huifei family, going back up, is the descendants of Taizong and Shizu, but it is just the icing on the cake for Horqin.

In this way, the only benefit is to declare the value of the Li family in disguise.

"That Concubine Hui is really from Horqin? Didn't have anything to do with Wu Sangui? Cao Hao was a little stunned, remembering what Mr. Zhuang said before his death, and couldn't believe it.

The sixteenth elder brother nodded and said, "Anyway, it's true that Concubine Hui has Horqin blood left on her body." It is estimated that Prince Zhuoliktu and Altangehule father and son also know about this, so they will look at you differently. ”

If it is really as Kangxi meant, posthumously crowning Concubine Hui as the queen, wouldn't the mother be the identity of Princess Gulun?

Cao Hao frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

According to what Mr. Zhuang said, there must be something about his mother's life experience involving the inhumanity of the royal family, so how does Kangxi make a big deal about it, and what is the so-called thing?

If you want to talk about this emperor, I feel sorry for my daughter when I think of it, and give my daughter a justifiable title, Cao Hao doesn't believe it.

If he had the heart to make amends, he wouldn't have waited more than fifty years.

The sixteenth elder brother, like Cao Hao, also felt that the sacred heart was unpredictable, and he didn't know what the imperial father's intention was.

couldn't figure it out, so he didn't want to think about it first, and said to Cao Hao: "Do you need to eat something?" Although I don't know how many things, but what can make the Queen Mother Baba give a word, the designation is indispensable, and it takes some effort to count it. ”

Cao Hao had a hangover, where did he have the appetite to eat, and after drinking a bowl of milk tea, he came out with the sixteenth elder brother.

As expected by the sixteenth elder brother, Prince Zhuo Liketu came down from the palace and waited with the prince to wait for Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother to receive the property.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Hao did not arrive, but waited for Wei Zhu, the former head of the imperial palace, to come over with a few chamberlains. Among them, there was an old eunuch with a wrinkled face, whose teeth were almost lost, and a few little eunuchs followed, holding a half-foot-and-a-half wooden box in their hands.

According to Wei Zhu, this old eunuch was an old man left behind in the Empress Dowager's palace to "assist" Uncle Cao in counting his belongings.

Altangehule only felt that the emperor was so verbose, and directly asked Cao Hao to pull these things away, what is there to "assist"? This old eunuch looks at the wind and falls, all keep accounts, can he still move things?

When Prince Zhuoliktu saw this, he was secretly happy.

Just as he thought, there was a list of these belongings in the palace. If you are greedy, let alone use the light of Aunt Huifei, I am afraid that you will be questioned.

Wei Zhu sat down with a smile and waited for Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother to come over. Out of the corner of his eye, he swept the wooden box in the arms of the two chamberlains, and guessed in his heart how much the property was.

Since this property was left by the Empress Dowager, the amount specified cannot be less.

If Concubine Hui is really as the emperor thinks, and she is posthumously crowned as the queen, she will become the Gulun princess from the middle palace.

Although the title of Princess Gulun is equivalent to that of Prince Heshuo, the princess is not as good as the prince in the end, and it takes dozens of Zhuangzi, totaling hundreds of thousands. The dowry land of Princess Gulun's mansion, the dowry is more than 100,000 taels. Moreover, if the princess does not have a concubine, these lands and dowries will be taken back to the Internal Affairs Office after the princess has been born.

The batch of property in front of him was "given" to Mrs. Li by the Queen Mother, and it has nothing to do with the Internal Affairs Bureau, and there is no need to enthrone the throne in the Internal Affairs Office.

Don't say it, don't say it.

Wei Zhu lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup, and blew the tea leaves on it.

It seems that his vision is not coarse, and the status of the Cao family will become more and more stable. Even if it won't be sealed explicitly, after this out, the princes and elder brothers should also know the emperor's intentions.

This Mrs. Li is older than the third princess.

One time less, the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Hao came together.

Wei Zhu and Prince Zhuo Liketu both got up, and the sixteenth elder brother saw the prince first, and then said to Wei Zhu with a smile: "Old Wei, why did you have to come here, it was at the behest of Emperor Ama?" ”

Wei Zhu smiled and pointed to the old eunuch beside him, and said what Fang had just said to Prince Zhuo Liketu, to the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Hao again.

However, then he didn't leave the meaning of "watching", took out a small box the size of a palm from his sleeve, and handed it to Cao Hao: "Uncle Cao, this is the key that the emperor asked the slave to give to the uncle." The emperor said that this Gonggong Tian is the deputy chief eunuch of Cining Palace and the old man next to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother not only loved the uncle, but the uncle also did his best for the Queen Mother, and let Father-in-law Tian go to the uncle's mansion on an errand in the future. ”

After a while, Cao Hao and the sixteenth elder brother both changed their faces.

Eunuchs have always been used by the palace and the clan magnates, and even in the clan, only those who have entered the eighth national public grade and above are eligible to be used.

Among the people, not to mention the earl, even the prince's mansion is not qualified, otherwise it will be a pass, and it will be punished.

The so-called property "given" by the Queen Mother, Cao Hao can still accept it for his mother; But the eunuch came directly in his name, and didn't this drive him to the fire and roast him?

Although this is the thin and lean father-in-law of Natian, he is in his sixties, hunched over, and after listening to Wei Zhu, he knelt down to Cao Hao.

Where can Cao Hao bear it, he hurriedly helped him and said, "Father-in-law, please be polite." The father-in-law is an old man who has been used by the old man of the Queen Mother's family, and his identity is no better than others, so don't kill Cao Hao. ”

The deputy chief eunuch of Cining Palace is the sixth grade, and he is also the number one in the palace.

If Cao Hao is on an errand because of the sentence "errand", he will not know what to do.

Cao Hao had already thought of a few excuses in his heart, this thing could be collected, but this person would never dare to accept it, so he had to find a way to resign.

Wei Zhu saw Cao Hao's caution, said goodbye to everyone with a smile, and motioned for Cao Hao to come out before leaving.

Cao Hao saw that he seemed to have something to say, so he followed Wei Zhu out of the tent in the name of giving it away.

A few steps out of the tent, Wei Zhu lowered his voice and said, "Looking at Cao Ye's appearance, he seems to be scared?" ”

Cao Hao smiled bitterly: "It's strange if you're not scared, Jun is very gracious, it's not something that Cao Hao can bear." ”

Wei Zhu said in a low voice: "Cao Ye wants to dodge, just make a show." The emperor has always been used to being arbitrary, and he may not change his mind easily. You pushed hard, but you hurt Grandpa Tian's face. Speaking of this, he paused, and his voice became lower and lower: "The emperor will not harm Cao Ye, this Tian chief manager used to be an errand in front of the emperor in his early years, and he has not been visible for decades, but he has not fallen for decades." The emperor arranged for him to go to Cao Ye's mansion, and he must have thought about it. ”

Cao Hao was still suspicious in his heart, but Wei Zhu kindly mentioned it, and he had to bow down and thank him.

Wei Zhu saw that he listened carefully, accepted his favor, and went back to the business with satisfaction.

Cao Hao turned around and turned back to the tent, and saw that everyone was waiting for him to come back.

Behind Father-in-law Tian were two teenage eunuchs, with copper locks hanging on the wooden boxes they were holding.

Seeing this, Cao Hao understood that the key given to him by Wei Zhu was used to open the box, and handed the key to Father-in-law Tian.

At this time, he also heard the intention of Wei Zhu's words just now, and this Tian Gonggong was afraid that he would not be able to shirk it. Anyway, when he goes back, he will clean up a quiet yard for this Tian father-in-law, and offer it with good food and drink, just when he is dedicated to the Queen Mother, and arrange for the old people around the Queen Mother to "retire" by himself.

This can also be regarded as a living signboard, so that everyone in the world can know that the Queen Mother treats the Cao family differently.

Cao Hao comforted himself, and his heart calmed down.

The two boxes were opened, and each one was full of single volumes.

Father-in-law Tian glanced at it, looked up and said to Cao Hao: "Uncle, this inventory and inspection, unpacking and sealing the box, to say the least, also requires more than a dozen people." You see......"

Cao Hao followed Hu this time, and only brought Xiaoman, Wei Hei, Qian Li, and Zhao Gang. Qian Li and Zhao Gang are also the sons of the Cao family, Qian Li is the nephew of the steward Qian Feng, and Zhao Gang is Zhao Tong's uncle and brother.

In the past few years, the long-term followers around Cao Hao have either gone out of Beijing, or become the head of the garden and Zhuangzi, so they have made up four new long-term followers.

In addition to Qian Li and Zhao Tong, there are two, one is Xiaoman's cousin Jingyi, and the other is Wang Rui, the grandson of the old manager Cao Fu. There is a limit to the length and number of officials who can travel with Hu, so the two of them stayed in Rehe and did not follow them to Saiwai.

The sixteenth elder brother knew that there were only four people around Cao Hao, and said to Cao Hao: "Let Zhao Feng call people, except for a few of them, except for Xiaoman, and then call the few around me, and it's almost enough." ”

Although there are many officials accompanying the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Yidu is here, how many people are used, it is just a matter of one sentence, but the sixteenth elder brother wants to be safe and does not want to involve too many outsiders.

Seeing that there are half of the tents piled up in this tent, all of them are boxes, and I think that the property of the dozen or so carriages in the prince's mansion that Cao Hao said yesterday should be here.

The sixteenth elder brother didn't say it, Cao Hao also had to ask him for help.

Hearing the sixteenth elder brother say this, Cao Hao naturally nodded yes.

Zhao Feng went out to look for someone without mentioning it, Prince Zhuo Liketu coughed lightly twice, and said to Cao Hao casually: "Lord Cao, some boxes are missing due to their age, plus the transportation back and forth. ”

In fact, there are a number of boxes with broken seals or no seals, and there are seven or eight chests on the edge of this pile of goods. Compared to the sealed boxes, the lacquer of these chests is much newer, and among these belongings, it is also eye-catching.

Cao Hao is not a greedy person, and he doesn't care whether there will be more or fewer objects in the Prince's Mansion.

According to what the sixteenth elder brother said, these things were prepared by the Empress Dowager during the Shunzhi Dynasty, and were managed by the Zhuo Liketu Prince's Mansion, which has been at least sixty years and has passed through several generations of the palace. One less box and some misappropriation of belongings are also common.

To put it in his heart, he wished that the Prince's Mansion would embezzle more of this "dowry", so that there would be less left, and he would not burn his hands if he accepted it.

It's just that looking at the current posture, the emperor has an account book in his hand, and Prince Zhuo Liketu's face is also calm, this property should be as listed in the account book, and it will not be short. Even if the Prince's Mansion has been misappropriated, it should be almost made up.

"The Queen Mother is very loving, and Cao Hao can only inherit the grace on behalf of her mother. It just bothered the prince, and Cao Hao was ashamed. Cao Hao hugged his fists.

Seeing that Cao Hao was polite and thoughtful, and his face was full of sincerity, Prince Zhuo Liketu touched his beard and smiled very boldly.

After a quarter of an hour at the end of the month, Zhao Feng brought the people of the Cao Mansion and four little eunuchs over, and everyone began to count.

Father-in-law Tian took out a booklet from the box and handed it to Cao Hao. Cao Hao took it and watched it with the sixteenth elder brother, but he couldn't help but inhale.

In this booklet, the first row is listed a hundred thousand taels of gold.

Further down, there are some large gold utensils, among which there are more than ten golden Buddhas, more than 20 ruyi handles, gold pots, gold bowls, gold cups, gold plates, and gold chopsticks, there are two boxes.

The sixteenth elder brother looked at Cao Hao, and he couldn't say words of congratulations.

Cao Hao only felt that his back was stiff, and he stubbornly said: "Let's just say the first inventory!" ”

One time later, at the signal of Prince Zhuo Liketu, Xiao Man led everyone to open the seven or eight boxes without seals.

It's all gold, it's golden, Cao Hao only felt dazzling...... * hair, cough, but this is all Li's private property, Xiao Cao can only get over it first, and he is not qualified to dispose of the private stay......
