Now that the return date of the Khalkha kings has been set, Cao Hao still has a private matter that needs to be taken care of.

That was the invitation of the prince of Zasaktu Khan, Ge Qi Keyan Pile, to arrange for him to have a meal alone with Hengsheng. It stands to reason that Ge Keyan Pile followed the great lama to Beijing for a month, and he should have arranged for the reunion of father and son.

It's just that this time I went to Beijing, unlike last year, I followed other Khalkha princes and settled in the lower part of the Imperial Court; After arriving at the enclosure, he was also placed in a tent prepared for the vassal king, and the action was not cheap.

Now, Gerikyan Pile and Hengsheng are in the paddock, and they have seen it twice from afar, but they have never been able to speak.

The tent that Hengsheng is now placed in is next to the lower part of Hongli, not far from the imperial tent, which is the place where the heavy army handles and guards are strictly guarded. As the prince of the vassal king, Ge Keyan Pile always has to avoid suspicion.

Therefore, he looked for Cao Hao several times, and Cao Hao was either busy with errands, or went back to Beijing to make his mother's birthday, and it was not until Cao Hao returned to the camp that Ge Keyan Pile saw Cao Hao.

Cao Haoyuan still thought that there were many people in the enclosure, he was a second-class member of the imperial court, and it was not appropriate to have more contact with foreign vassals, so he thought about returning to Beijing after the siege.

Who would have thought that Kangxi had already set a return date for the Khalkha kings.

In this way, it is necessary to arrange for Hengsheng to meet with Ge Si Keyan Pile as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao felt a little uncomfortable. is also a son who has worked hard to raise, a father has come, he has not raised a child for a day, and he relies on the bloodline that cannot be cut off, so justifiable.

Even if it is the prince of the Mongolian Khan, even if he has the title of county king with the imperial seal, what is the great deal?

Zasaktu Banner, Cao Hao has been there; The Khan's palace, he has also seen, but it is not yet the mansion of the powerful in the capital.

Cao Hao was in a daze here, and the sixteenth elder brother had already stopped talking, looked at him with a little hesitation and said, "Fu Ruo, isn't it true that the household treasury can't move the silver?" Look at the hard things for you. ”

As soon as he said this, the seventeenth elder brother and Yi Duli both looked at Cao Hao.

Cao Hao listened, waved his hand hurriedly, and said, "It's not because of this, I'm thinking about it." ”

Ge Keyan Pile came to the court with the great lama, which was already beyond Cao Hao's expectations. Khalkha is in Outer Mongolia, far from the hinterland of the Central Plains, no more than Horqin is Inner Mongolia.

According to the rules, the kings of Inner Mongolia came to the dynasty every year, either into Beijing, or in Rehe, or on the way to Kangxi on his way to Xingsai; The Khalkha kings met in shifts, and according to the distance, some met in three years, and some in five years.

Last time, Cao Hao thought that he would not have anything to do with this prince before Hengsheng; Unexpectedly, we met again in less than a few years.

Hearing Cao Hao say this, everyone still looked at him.

In their opinion, it will not be a trivial matter to make Cao Hao run away. They didn't know that Cao Hao just regretted it. regretted that he was blindfolded by the word "blood", and he was too generous to treat this Ge Keyan Pile.

Hengsheng has been raised in the Cao family for more than ten years, is it because of the word "blood", do you want to leave your relatives here and take over the so-called Khan Palace?

If Hang Seng is willing to pay back, if Hang Seng is a little unwilling, Cao Hao will never allow Ge Cheng Keyan Pile to control Hang Sheng's life in the name of "father".

It seems that before Heng grows up and has his own decision, he can't let Ge Keyan Pile "recognize his son" and occupy the righteousness of "father".

This Confucian doctrine of loyalty and filial piety cannot be violated.

Cao Hao regards Hang Seng as a parent and child, and he will not be happy to arrange Hang Seng for the sake of his own peace of mind.

Seeing that everyone was still looking at him, Cao Hao said: "It's really a family matter, nothing else." ”

Although several people in the audience were familiar with each other, Cao Hao still didn't plan to talk about Hengsheng.

went to the young and reckless arrangement for Hengsheng to meet with Ge Keyan Pile, Cao Hao already regretted it at this time.

If he had arranged it carefully, the sixteenth elder brother would not have paid attention to Hengsheng. Although the two have a deep friendship, the sixteenth elder brother helped Hengsheng to obtain the throne of Khan for the sake of his beloved daughter, and he also did it.

Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, such a noble is the most appropriate life path for Hengsheng.

However, even if he inherits the title, if he can't stay in Beijing smoothly, it will be a separation of flesh and blood.

Hengsheng is pure-hearted, well-behaved, filial to his parents, and close to his brothers and sisters, so he may not be willing to bear the pain of "birth and separation".

Seeing that Cao Hao insisted on not saying anything, others didn't say much.

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother went to take care of the trivial matters by themselves, only Yi Duli did not leave immediately, and in the end, when the two elder brothers left, they lowered their voices and said: "Is Fu Ruo worried that there will be no good banquet in the uncle's mansion?" If you wait for Long Keduo or that Mrs. Li to really propose marriage, Fu Ruo refuses, but it will sweep the face of Uncle Guo's mansion. ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he was a little surprised: "My lord also knows that Uncle Guo's mansion is in son-in-law?" ”

Yi Duli raised his eyebrows and said, "Fu Ruo forgot about those three boys in my family?" The eldest is sixteen this year and has not yet agreed to marry. I also know that someone mentioned our family in front of Li Si'er. It's just that the woman knows that the old lady of my family is the old aunt and grandmother from the Hesheri family, and she is too weak to marry this family. ”

Although Yiduli is now only a third grade, and the title is only a light car captain, but when it comes to the family, there is a prime minister's father and a daughter of the prime minister's house, which is no worse than the Cao family.

Regardless of the current title of the Cao family, in the eyes of the real Manchurian family, they are just nouveau riche, and the slaves who were born in Baoyi were decently rewarded by the emperor.

Compared with those real lords' families, the foundation of the Cao family is still too thin.

"Tianyou was not in good health when he was young, and his father had already left a will, so he didn't ask Tianyou to marry early." Cao Hao said with an impassive face: "My inner son and I obeyed our father's orders, and we never thought of asking Tianyou to marry early. ”

Because of the mention of Cao Yin, Yi Duli didn't think about it, just nodded and said, "Since the boss has a will, then they can't say anything." Speaking of this, he also breathed a sigh of relief for Cao Hao, lowered his voice and said: "Even if there is no boss's will, Fu Ruo must think of avoiding it far away, and he must not allow this family business because Long Keduo is a dignitary." The prosperity must decline, and the strong will be humiliated. No matter how Long Keduo can drill the camp, his personal morality is not scrupulous, the husband and wife become enemies, and the father and son turn against each other, and they have already shown the appearance of a broken family. ”

Yi Duli has also been in the officialdom for many years, and he understands what it means to "bring disaster from the mouth", and he can say this to Cao Hao without taboo, and he really does not treat Cao Hao as an outsider.

This favor, Cao Hao can't help but receive it.

He bowed down and said, "My lord mentioned it, Cao Hao is grateful." ”

He was so serious, Yi Duli was a little embarrassed, waved his hand, and said: "I am older than you in terms of generation and age, but over the years, I have been taken care of by you a lot, and I have not been cheeky to bear it." Now I'm just going to be verbose, what is this for? ”

Although this Ituri is a little romantic, he is also sincere to others.

Unlike those officials from poor backgrounds, he has no intention of drilling in the officialdom, but just boiling up a grade and maintaining decency among his clansmen.

Unexpectedly, the career was full of twists and turns, three rises and three drops, until the year was not confused, and he was mixed with the head of the Internal Affairs Office.

If you change to someone else, when you get to this position, you will either make money and get benefits, or you will use it as a springboard, put it in the flag camp, and return to Beijing in a few years, which is a squire and a scholar.

Yi Duli didn't have any ideas, and he talked to Cao Hao about two things, and this errand of the Internal Affairs Office is good. There are many famous governors, as well as princes and princes of the clan who receive errands, and there are a number of serious jobs.

After sending Yi Duli away, Cao Hao wanted to ask someone to find Hengsheng, but when he looked outside, it was already dark, so he gave up this idea.

Around the imperial camp, at night, the security is more stringent, even if Cao Hao is there in person, he may not be able to get to the front ...... * The next morning, Cao Hao got up at dawn and went directly to the school of the guard.

According to what Hang Seng said before, Hang Seng will come here with Hongli to practice martial arts every morning. He also knew that he had a lot of handles in his place, and he was afraid that his father would not be cheap to find him, so he made a special trip to tell Cao Hao about this.

When I arrived at the school, the sky was still gray, and I saw a few people practicing with Hongli and Hengsheng in the schoolyard.

Hongli and Hengsheng held knives with sheaths in their hands, shouting and waving them lively.

Cao Hao looked at it, his hands were a little itchy, in his early years in Jiangning Mansion, he also practiced his hands and feet so diligently, just so as not to become a big young master with the power of his siblings.

Hengsheng is much stronger than himself at that time. Hongli is also a little less delicate, and in the "battle", his expression is much more aggressive.

When the last opponent was also stained with lime marks on his body, he stepped aside, and Hongli and Hengsheng collected their knives.

Hongli didn't see the slightest joy, but frowned, and said to Hengsheng: "Cao Lin, they are tied, they don't dare to use their weapons, they don't dare to use their weapons, and they don't dare to use their strength empty-handed. ”

These people in front of him are all guards from the guard office, guarding in front of the palace. If they were really six against two and lost to two young boys, then no matter what their backgrounds were, they would have been replaced by the guards a long time ago.

Hengsheng has been wielding this for a long time, and when he is having fun, he can't wait to play for a while, so he nods without hesitation. It's not that he lacks heart and eyes, but he will commit the following crimes; is as a companion, and he has fought with Hongli a lot in the past six months, all of which are fists and feet and mounted archery, and there is no time for the soldiers to face each other, but he didn't take this too seriously.

He touched his scabbard, looked at Hongli and said, "Fourth Master, how many slashes are counted as winning or losing?" ”

Hongli looked at his confident appearance and snorted coldly: "Naturally, it's a knife, do you want to cut a few more knives?" ”

Heng Sheng laughed twice and swept the guards standing next to him.

They wore navy blue coats with light lime marks on them. Some are on the arms, legs, and feet, and some are on the chest or abdomen.

Needless to say, the one who left a lime mark on the fatal part is Hengsheng.

Under the cultivation of the two Mongolian elders, Hengsheng privately learned the true skills of fighting wolves and tigers, and the sword kung fu that Hongli learned in the palace is self-explanatory......
