Chapter 711: Chaos (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Your current location:ยปยป
Brother is in a hurry, where can he listen to Cao's words. (Reader, dz88) He is an emperor, but these days he is a resentment in his heart, and there is nowhere to vent.
Without waiting for Cao to finish speaking, he had already punched Cao in the face with his other hand.
Cao dodged, but his fist swept to his nose. He only felt a sour nose, tears coming out, and his eyes were blurred.
Brother Jiu roared like a mad cow, clenched his fists, and pounced on Cao.
Cao is really anxious, his identity is different, and he can't fight back; If you dodge again, you will expose the fourth elder brother behind you. How many times do you have to give birth?
Fortunately, the tenth elder brother had already woken up, stretched out his arm, hugged the ninth elder brother, and said with wide eyes: "Ninth brother, you can't fight!" โ
The fourth elder brother is the elder brother, and Cao is a member of the imperial court, even if it is usual, it is the fault of which one is beaten, not to mention that the two of them are the messengers now.
If you beat the two of them, you will have a grudge against the imperial father.
The fourth elder brother had already stood up, looked at Bafujin's side, and said lightly to the ninth elder brother: "You are also the eldest brother, what to do and what not to do, you know in your heart." These two punches, I won't worry about you, you can do it yourself in the future. With that, he turned around and walked away.
Cao felt bored, but he couldn't turn around and leave. The matter of moving the coffin had to be arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange the carriage and sedan chair lady's hands, etc., and some details still had to be discussed.
Look at the atmosphere right now. Nor is it the time to speak. Cao had no choice but to bow down and say to the tenth elder brother: "Ten masters." It was late at night. Xia Guan went back to the cold house first. Come back tomorrow morning to listen to the errand. โ
Brother Nine panted. is staring at the back of the fourth elder brother viciously. I don't know what I'm thinking.
Although the tenth elder brother looked irritable. But he stopped people just now. made Cao more and more determined. He is the one who "pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger" among the princes.
The fourth elder brother can walk away. Cao is not so cheap. The moment he turned around. I heard the tenth elder brother shouting: "Stop." I have something to ask you. โ
What are you really afraid of? What can I ask. Designation is the matter of the Decree of the Shifter.
Sure enough. I heard the tenth elder brother say: "You also came back from Tangquan." Lord asks you. So what's going on with the Divine Decree? But Prince Yong asked for land? โ
Hearing this, the eyes of Bafujin and Jiu Elder Brother both looked straight at Cao.
"Back to the ninth master's words, when the minister followed you in college and Shangshu greeted him, he withdrew from the imperial front and spoke at the sixteenth master, and he didn't know the feelings." Cao bowed down and said the truth.
It's strange to come, sometimes the truth sounds like a lie, but the lie sounds like the truth. Cao didn't lie, but neither the ninth elder brother nor the tenth elder brother believed it, so he heard the ninth elder brother sneer, and said: "The tenth brother is confused, from the mouth of this kid Cao, can you tell that the fourth brother is not good?" โ
Cao is here, he really can't leave, he can't stay, let alone how uncomfortable it is.
Brother Ten saw that the bridge of his nose was bruised, and then looked at Brother Nine, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but his face was still deep. After a long while, he said to Cao: "The scene just now, Brother Jiu was just unintentional, you should be clear, don't make it public, otherwise the master will not spare you!" "In the end, it's already a bit vicious.
Cao was really speechless in his heart, and he didn't have this place to ask for the law.
The face responded, and then Cao went out of the Eighth Elder Brother's garden and rode to his own garden. At this hour, the gates of the city were closed, and they could only rest outside the city for the night.
He rubbed his nose, he had avoided it, and it hurt a little. The fourth elder brother's face was full of flowers, and he didn't know what it was.
However, he also gave himself a chance for the golden cicada to come out of his shell, and Ming'er began to be able to take two days off. Otherwise, it would be too eye-catching to appear in front of people like this.
It was only about 100 meters after riding a horse and leaving the garden of the eighth elder brother, and I saw a fire in front of me.
With the sharpest eyes, he had already recognized the carriage in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, it's the carriage of the fourth prince." โ
Is that not the end of it?
When it was about to come, Cao grabbed the reins of the horse, jumped off the horse, and wanted to come forward to salute.
Before he could bow down, he heard the fourth elder brother say in the carriage: "Get in the car." โ
Before Cao approached, a little eunuch picked up a lamp and shone it on a wooden bench. Cao lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.
The carriage was lit with glass lamps, and the fourth elder brother was sitting upright.
The fourth elder brother looks like he is embarrassed and embarrassed, his face is swollen and tall, and the corners of his mouth are broken. Cao glanced at it, then quickly lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Fourth Master." โ
Although you are a prince, but the fights between brothers are the same as those of ordinary people, and they are all angry and killed, who will take care of brothers, friends and brothers.
It's just that the fourth elder brother's ordinary temperament is steady and serious, and at this time he also has a gloomy face, and he only feels a little funny with these injuries on his face.
"What did Brother Nine say?" The fourth elder brother's gaze swept over the bridge of Cao's nose and asked in a deep voice.
"The ninth master didn't say anything, only the tenth master asked." Cao Jiang only heard what the tenth elder brother heard, and he answered it truthfully.
From the fourth elder brother to Cao, it was only a few words. Cao's side, there is no need to lie about this. The fourth elder brother listened and was noncommittal.
Although the carriage was spacious, it was uncomfortable for two big men to stay like this.
Cao was standing again, and he couldn't stand up straight, so he was uncomfortable.
After a while, I heard the fourth elder brother say: "It's late at night, you go back first." โ
Cao Rumeng was amnestied, got out of the carriage, and waited until the carriage was far away before turning over and getting on the horse.
On this day, I was more tired than half a year. Whether it was Kangxi's decision or the choice of the fourth elder brother, Cao was a little confused. It seems that the emperor's thinking is really not the same as ordinary people, which is understandable, but it is still difficult to accept it in his heart.
Back in the garden, lying in **, Cao still couldn't sleep, until the east became white, and then he fell asleep......
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.
After washing, Cao didn't have time to eat, when he heard someone come to report, saying that Dong Dianbang, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, was waiting in the front hall.
Cao looked in the mirror and looked at it, there was still a bruise near the wing of his nose, how could he see people?
"Let's just say that I have a cold at night and am sick, so I will take a few days off in the yamen." Cao put down the mirror and commanded.
Seeing that it is about to reach the end of the month, according to the rules, on the first day of October every year, the emperor will promulgate the next year's imperial calendar outside the noon gate. Until then, the Holy Driver will first return to Changchun Garden.
Counting the days, there is not much time left for the Eighth Brother Mansion to move the coffin.
Eighth Elder Brother Garden, in front of the mourning hall.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother have not closed their eyes all night, and the ninth elder brother has been sad these days, and he has stayed up all night, and his eyes are red. Brother Ten is better here, but it is also difficult to hide his exhaustion.
"Brother Jiu, the holy decree has been issued, what else can I do? difficult
Unsuccessful? The tenth elder brother took a look at the mourning hall and looked at the busy internal affairs outside.
Brother Jiu's face was pale and terrifying, and he clenched his fists vigorously and said, "Yes, that is a holy decree, and if you disobey it, you will be beheaded." This has just died an elder brother, does the imperial elder brother still care about dying another one? โ
"Brother Jiu, be cautious." Brother Ten looked around and persuaded in a low voice.
Brother Jiu sneered, his eyes looked into the distance, and there was an indescribable chill all over his body......
Like Cao, there is also the fourth elder brother who is said to be sick.
No matter how angry Brother Jiu was in his heart and how resentful Bafujin was, Eighth Elder Brother's coffin was still moved back to the city the next day.
The next day, the holy driver from the Tangquan Palace, back to Changchun Garden, the same day in Changchun Garden, held a small pilgrimage.
The princes and elder brothers, several princes of the clan who were on errands, as well as officials above the third grade, all gathered in Changchun Garden to meet them. The absence of the fourth elder brother and Cao is not eye-catching, but some people can't bear to speculate.
At that time, when the fourth elder brother and Cao went to the Babeile Garden to deliver the decree, there were many people on the other side of the garden. Although the tenth elder brother ordered the seal later, the eighth elder brother's mansion was not so strict.
I should know everything, but no one is publicizing.
The title of the ninth elder brother is not high, just a solid mountain beizi, but the biological mother Concubine Yi is a powerful figure in the harem, and the fifth elder brother is the prince of Heshuo, and if he offends, he offends a nest.
Coupled with the temperament of the ninth elder brother, whoever bites does not bite a piece of meat will not let go, like a mad dog, who is willing to provoke him if he has nothing to do.
Cao used the excuse of contracting the wind and cold, and the next day he took a carriage and returned to the city without leaving the door. He should have asked for a doctor, he should have asked for medicine, but no one came to him.
In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of October, the day of the Great Pilgrimage.
The swelling on Cao's face has disappeared, so he went to the yamen to eliminate the fake and go to the court.
Or wait on the Jinshui Bridge in the middle of the night, on both sides of the palace gate, there are the emperor's full Luan.
It seems to be the same as in previous years, no different. It's just that behind the seventh elder brother, it is no longer the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother. The eighth elder brother is gone, and the ninth elder brother is sick and has not yet arrived.
The other princes and elder brothers couldn't see the slightest smile on their faces.
Cao stood in the queue, listening to Kangxi's promulgation of the almanac, listening to the performance of the six Jiuqing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The sixteenth elder brother stood behind the fifteenth elder brother and glanced at Cao's side, with a little worry on his face.
It wasn't until near noon that the tedious pilgrimage meeting was over.
The sixteenth elder brother still thought that he was looking for Cao now, and he would have to go to the yamen to find him later, and ask him about the "infection with wind and cold" a few days ago, and saw Cao Chao walking towards him.
"Sixteenth Master, are you free now? Cao asked.
The sixteenth elder brother nodded and said, "I was looking for you." โ
The two of them didn't leave the palace, they paced towards the yamen of the Internal Affairs Office, and it wasn't until they entered the house that the sixteenth elder brother held Cao's shoulder, looked up and down a few times, and said, "I heard that you were beaten by the ninth brother, but where did you get hurt?" โ
Cao shook his head and said, "It's just a skin injury, it's not in the way, it's already better." โ
The sixteenth elder brother put down his arm and frowned, "How much of a sin is it to beat the ministers of the imperial court?" Brother Jiu, he's really too much. Speaking of this, he stretched out his hand, gave a thumbs up, and said with a little hesitation: "Here, I was really beaten." โ
"Hmm." Cao nodded and agreed.
The sixteenth elder brother sighed and said, "They are all siblings, why not." Brother Jiu just looks smart, but he is a fool. At this time, what can you withstand, but it is a disaster. โ
This is a serious question, and Cao does not want to go into details. He took out a piece of paper from his bosom and sent it to the sixteenth elder brother, saying, "This is why I sent people to Tongrentang to ask for a place, only to cure drought and tobacco addiction." The sixteenth master tried two pairs first. There are many places in the capital to smoke opium, but there are few people who quit, so no one buys for that medicine. Ming'er, I made a special trip to Tongrentang. They are experts and should understand the dangers of opium. If a recipe for detoxification can be developed, it will be a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people. โ
Because of the lot of things in the past few days, the sixteenth elder brother hasn't bothered to think about this.
Seeing that Cao took this to heart, he got a prescription in the past few days, and the sixteenth elder brother was also quite moved. He took the recipe and said with a smile: "I'm tired and troublesome, then the master will appreciate it." Whatever the use, drink it first. It's much better than really locking up and quitting addiction. โ
"By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you a few days ago." The sixteenth elder brother stuffed the prescription into his sleeve, raised his head and said: "The Queen Mother, her old man seems to pay special attention to your family's affairs, and she asked me to go over twice before, both of which are family routines. For example, how much land do you have in your family, how many people do you have, and so on...... I also asked my uncle how many concubines he had, and even your little brother who was gone before...... I only know a rough idea, so I said it vaguely. โ
Cao was also confused when he heard these words, and said, "Where is this?" โ
"If I had known, I would have told you directly. It doesn't look like a bad thing, you go back and ask your uncle, maybe he knows. "Sixteen Elder Brother Dao.
Cao didn't go to the yamen for a few days, and there were a lot of official affairs here, and the case was piled up more than a foot high. The sixteenth elder brother looked at Cao Busy here, so he didn't stay long, got up and went back to the elder brother's office.
Cao's side, after finishing the official cooking, it was already dusk.
When I returned to the house, I passed the shadow wall and turned on the lights in the living room. Seeing this, Cao turned around and asked the porter, "Is there a guest at home?" โ
The porter replied: "Uncle, it is the head of the Internal Affairs Office who is here, talking to the master in the living room." โ
Cao then remembered that Dong Dianbang handed over the prayer post a few days ago. The Dong family and the Cao family are now in-laws, and they have been settled for a few months, just waiting for Cao Yin to come back and make a big decision.
Thinking of the girl with big braids, Cao was a little stunned.
At this time, I saw Cao Yin sending Dong Dianbang out. Seeing Cao, Dong Dianbang arched his hand and said, "Lord Cao is back." โ
Cao bowed and saluted back: "It turned out that the adult arrived, and the kid returned, and he was sluggish." โ
Cao Yin was on the side, listening to the two of them, he touched his beard with a smile and said: "It's not in the yamen, don't be too polite to your in-laws, Cao is a junior." โ
Dong Dianbang's side, although he married his granddaughter to Cao's cousin, he didn't dare to say that Cao was a grandchild. The number of courtesies is not less, but the face is a little more close, everything is just right.
When Cao Yin saw it, he didn't force it, and together with Cao, he sent Dong Dianbang outside the gate.
"Father, have you decided on a date?" Cao asked.
"Hmm. It will be decided at the end of the month. The news from the palace said that the Queen Mother had not been in good health in the past few months, and Dong Dianbang was afraid of catching up with the national filial piety, so he wanted to do the happy event before the end of the year. Cao replied with his hands behind his back.
Hearing the mention of the Queen Mother, Cao told the sixteenth elder brother what he said in the morning.
Cao Yin listened here, just nodded and said, "I know, don't think nonsense." after
Holy Birthday Day, the Queen Mother should know what she means......"
