When he learned that it was not his parents who died, but Cao Shuo, Cao Hao's heart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Immediately, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, I didn't seem to be doing it like this.

After all, there is a difference between relatives and relatives, and Cao Hao is sad when his cousin dies, but he does not think that it is the shock and heartache when his parents have an accident.

Although he has been a human being for two lives, Cao Hao is not too old and has both children under his knees, but he is still dependent on his parents.

It is not dependent on economic life, but the existence of respect for relatives and elders, which makes the concept of "home" better interpreted.

Children are the whole and the future, exhausting the efforts of parents.

After becoming a father, Cao Hao can more and more understand his mother's love and care, and his father's kind of care that will not be easily said.

I remember seeing Cao Shuo for the first time, but he was half a year older than Tianhui, which was the age when he learned to "babble", but now he is young, so he went.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao really couldn't help but feel that "the world is impermanent".

When Yongqing saw it, he didn't know how to persuade him, sighed, and said, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, it's just luck." Life can't be resurrected, and you should mourn it. ”

Although I thought about whether I would see Yongqing here, the moment I saw Yongqing, Cao Hao still had a lot of joy.

It's just because he heard about the funeral that his heart is heavy, so that people can't laugh.

Thousands of miles away, old friends reunite, there seem to be a lot of words, but for a while, I don't know where to start.

In normal words, Cao Hao can also talk about the affairs in Beijing, or the news of Wanyan Mansion, so that Yongqing can feel at ease or something. Now, he is out of Beijing for March, and the news in Beijing is also closed, but he is not as good as Yongqing.

The good news I heard was that Ma Jun was going back to Beijing this autumn.

He was a jinshi in the spring of Kangxi's forty-eighth year, and he was appointed as the magistrate of Changsha in October, and Kangxi was re-elected in fifty-one years, and his second term expired at the end of the year.

I heard that his aunt was talking about her grandson and forced her husband to respond, and when her nephew and heir Ma Jun's term of office expired, she would be transferred to Beijing.

caught up with Ma Jun's father who had a stroke, begged for rest due to illness, and now returned to Beijing to recuperate, Ma Jun, as an only son, also has the intention of returning to Beijing to take care of him.

From Ma Jun to Ning Chun, and from Ning Chun to Yongqing in the northwest now, this good news also makes people laugh.

Yongqing was open-minded, and when he saw Cao Hao like this, he couldn't help laughing a few times, and said, "Speaking of which, that kid got his wish." At the beginning, he said that he was not a good doctor, but a good person. Although he did not enter Hanlin, he came back to stay in the official position in Beijing, plus the family remnants, and survived for 20 or 30 years. ”

It's not easy to say, Ma Jun's family is not in the banner, and it is not as deep-rooted as other Manchurian magnates.

Although his uncle Ma Yan has been promoted from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Officials, it is even more difficult to take another step forward because he is a Han Chinese.

In addition, the squire is already at the age of the sixtieth year, and he will probably die in the squire.

transferred his nephew back to Beijing, in addition to the accident of letting him come back to fulfill his filial piety, it is estimated that the old waiter also wants to arrange his nephew's future before his retirement.

started from Hanlin, boiled up to the second-grade squire, and has been a Beijing official for more than 40 years, but he is still standing, which is also full of human feelings.

Cao Hao remembered the words of the big guy on the Qinhuai River back then, but some of them still remembered deeply, but some of them were already in a trance.

Seeing that he was silent, Yongqing hammered Cao Hao's shoulder with his fist and said, "Speaking of which, it is surprising that Fu Ruo is also surprised. I saw you back then, but you were the most capable of being an official among the brothers. After six years of hard work, Tiancheng has only served two terms, but Fu Ruo has tossed several yamen on his side. The Beijing officials and magistrates have all done it, and the officials and court officials have also seen it! Now, it is the highest title, not to mention anything else, when my son grows up, if I am not productive as a father, then I have to count on you as an uncle. ”

Looking at him smiling, Cao Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes.

If Yongqing can really understand, be willing to let go of his arrogance, and be willing to accept the help of others, then Cao Hao won't say anything. The partial birth is already in the past few years, and it is still the same as when he was a teenager, and he is arrogant and stubborn in his bones, and he has never been less.

Yongqing rubbed his hands, but his smile was a little stiff, and said, "This time, I can be regarded as offending the Fourteenth Master." At the end of April, he sent me a letter saying that he wanted to transfer me back to Beijing, but I politely refused. In the end, when it came out, I always wanted to do something, but I didn't have the face to go back like this. ”

Cao Hao listened, but he was surprised, how could this fourteenth elder brother think of Yongqing again?

That one, now that you've started to lay out?

I can't keep it even if I think about it, even Cao Hao, who has always been inconspicuous, the fourteenth elder brother can restrain his likes and dislikes, Yongqing and him are in-laws, and they are even more easy to call, so they naturally refuse to let go.

I'm afraid that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

The fourteenth elder brother is getting more and more confused as he grows up, does he regard his brothers as vegetarians, or does he treat his father as a sick cat?

For some reason, Cao Hao suddenly thought of a possibility.

This will be the fourteenth elder brother as the general Wang to lead the troops in the northwest, is it Kangxi's honor and preference for the fourteenth elder brother, or after the eldest elder brother and the eighth elder brother, another target will come out...... The war situation in the northwest was much worse than Cao Hao imagined.

It has already received definite news, and the soldiers and horses of Alabutan are forty thousand.

The imperial court sent troops from three directions, and there were no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the northwest, which is why it can only defend now, and cannot pursue the attack.

Not only are there few soldiers, but the food and grass attack is barely enough.

Although there is no shortage of food, the money and grain reserves here are not abundant.

There is also a shortage of horses.

Last year's heavy snowfall caused heavy losses to the Eight Banners Racecourse, and the worst affected place was the death of ten horses.

Although there were 2,500 cavalry under the tent of the Chinese army here, they were supposed to pursue the enemy, but due to the lack of horses, they could not make the trip.

2,500 cavalry, if you go out to chase the enemy, you need more than 5,000 horses for two horses plus logistics, but now there are only more than 2,000 here.

Although a group of horses were sent to naturalization in May, they all went to General Feiyangu's side.

The lack of horses is a problem that the soldiers and horses of the three routes in the northwest have to deal with.

Nowadays, the mules and horses that transport rice from the provinces have been intensively bred and domesticated, and they must be tamed for 50 days to serve as military horses to make up for the lack of military horses.

I heard that the imperial court has already ordered it to come down, and it is transferring horses and foals from the two wings of the pasture of Taifu Temple.

The "horse" is a mare that is kept alive, and even the mare is transferred out, which shows that the horses available in the Taifu Temple Ranch have been cleaned.

When Cao Hao heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

In the end, he has been the chief of the Taifu Temple for two years, and he is also quite concerned about the news over there.

Hearing that even the mare was transferred out, Cao Hao's heart was quite disapproving.

Due to last year's snowstorm, livestock in the pastures outside the mouth were seriously damaged, and the loss of horses was the most serious.

If you want to send out an army in a few years, this mare should be kept for breeding. Now that they have been transferred, in the future war, the whole country will have to collect horses, and the money spent at that time will be much more than now.

I don't know if it's because of the lack of people and horses, the situation in the northwest is quite complicated.

The original intention of the imperial court was to use the Eight Banners Army to unite the Mongol soldiers of the Khalkha kings and the soldiers and horses of the Taiji people in Qinghai to chase down the rebel army of Alabutan.

The Khalkha kings were quite obedient, gathered in many ways, and stationed 15,000 soldiers and horses at the foot of Hangai Mountain; Qinghai Zhutaiji, but there is a suspicion of yang and yin.

Several small Taiji were willing to obey the orders of the imperial court, and led their headquarters to the mouth of Xining to defend the delirium Alabutan, waiting for the imperial court to appoint orders; The other three Taiji, who have the most subordinates, excused themselves as "Khubir Khan" who is young and has not had rashes, so he is not suitable to travel this year and does not respect the orders of the imperial court.

This "Hubil Khan" is the "reincarnated spirit child" of the sixth [***] Cangyang Gyatso found in Zhutaiji, Qinghai.

Razang Khan entered Tibet in the name of "apologetic", and asked the imperial court to abolish Cangyang Gyatso and set up another sixth [***].

Although the imperial court complied with the request of Razang Khan for the sake of border stability, he recognized the identity of the new [***].

However, other monks and nobles in Qinghai and Tibetan provinces did not recognize this new living Buddha established by Razang Khan. Since the forty-sixth year of Kangxi, after Cangyang Gyatso "passed away" in Qinghai Lake, monks began to unite to find his reincarnated spirit child.

Changyang Gyatso was a brilliant living Buddha who left behind a large number of poems. The monks looked for clues to his "reincarnation" in his poems and found a poem.

"The white crane in the clouds, please lend me wings, I won't fly far away, I'll come back when I go around Litang......"

According to this hint, they found a little spirit boy in the Litang area and asked the imperial court to canonize the name.

Since the imperial court has already canonized the new [***] supported by Razang Khan, how could it slap itself and canonize another [***] out? Therefore, he canonized the other titles of Xiao Lingtong and left him in Qinghai.

"Hubir" is the Mongolian word for "reincarnation" and "incarnation", and Hubir Khan is the honorific title of the Qinghai nobles and monks to the little spirit child.

Although the imperial court still does not recognize Xiao Lingtong as the real [***] lama, in their hearts, they regard Xiao Lingtong as a political and religious leader.

The court naturally had to guard against him entering Tibet from Qinghai and using the little spirit boy to bewitch the Tibetans. Therefore, the imperial court issued an order, and the imperial guards went to Qinghai to pass the decree, asking Qinghai Zhutaiji to send the little spirit boy to the Xining army.

Unexpectedly, these Qinghai Taiji were so prevaricated.

In this way, the imperial court's plan to outflank Alabutan in three ways will come to naught, and it will also draw troops to Qinghai to deter those Taiji at both ends of the head and tail, and prevent them from colluding with Alabutan.

Cao Hao knew the truth about the northwest through various channels, but he was speechless.

It wasn't that Alabutan gave the court steps and made a delaying tactic or anything, but (yes) the court had no money, food, and horses, but it just put on a posture, but it was unable to start the war for a long time.

The military situation is already so unoptimistic, and the people's livelihood in the northwest is also worrying.

Since the beginning of the summer, there has been a severe drought, and more than 10 counties have failed to harvest grain, and in other places, some harvests have been less than half of the ripe years.

Not to mention military rations, even relief grains, we should also transport more to this side, otherwise if the people's livelihood is unstable, then the northwest will be in danger.

Having money is not everything, but not having money is everything, and this sentence applies not only to individuals, but also to a country.

Although he had never seen Arabutan, Cao Hao did not have a good impression of him.

Tibet Province and Xinjiang Province are the barrier of the Central Plains, and there is no room for mistakes.

Not to mention anything else, the origin of those firearms, thinking about it makes people look sideways.

With his own selfish desires, he fights in vain, and disregards the life and death of the people, how can such a person convince everyone?

Since he is an untrustworthy person, he will accompany the great lama to the past, and he may be humiliated and killed by the delirious Alabutan.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao had to think about his own safety.

The army did not dare to track down, but he followed the great lama and marched towards Turpan.

It was still a mighty procession, and the accompanying monks and attendants were still as leisurely and happy as before.

Although Cao Hao was not obvious on his face, he had already begun to think in his heart that he wanted to find a way to stay halfway. He didn't want to go to Turpan to break through the ghost gate.

There are ten guards around him, and there are no mistakes in this method.

No one is a fool, and if you want to delay, you can't do it too deliberately, otherwise, you won't be able to say what kind of trouble it will cause in the future.

Xu is Cao Hao is lucky, he thought about it for a few days, but after he didn't come up with a clue, someone had already chased after him, with Kangxi's will.

The Grand Lama has retreated to Turpan, and the Grand Lama can continue to go, while Cao Hao and the ten imperial guards will go to Uriya Sutai to wait for the Holy Driver to tour the north of the ......* Rehe, the summer resort, and the Ten Thousand Pine Wind Palace.

Kangxi is having a headache about transporting rice to the northwest, and has just received an excerpt from the governor of Zhili and the governor of Henan, saying that the cattle have been solved, but because of the excessive rain this summer, the road is muddy, and I am afraid that it will not be able to arrive immediately, and there will be delays on the road.

Even in the Northwest Army, such horses were too thin to drive.

However, the road from the front of the Heshuo army to Turpan is far away, if a large army goes out to fight, how can these horses bear the burden?

Li Guangdi, a university scholar, is now on leave to bury his relatives, and Wenda died of illness in mid-May, and now there are only two or three bachelors with him.

Because it is an important military situation, the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother and other princes are also in front of the palace.

Since the horses were not able to be driven, they had to use camels. However, the number of official camels is limited, and they have to be purchased from the private sector to be able to transport the rice.

Among them, it is necessary to use the right amount of money and food.

Thinking of this, Kangxi only felt that his temples trembled "suddenly".

I have been an emperor for more than 50 years, and I have never been so embarrassed.

Even in the past, the rebellion of the three feudatories caused several provinces in the south to erode, and the imperial army poured out, it was not so tight.

The difference between this and before and after is just a useful household book.

Kangxi thought of Mu Helun, the head of the household who looked like an ornament, and his face was a little difficult to look at.

The third elder brother was in front of the palace, but he quietly glanced at Kangxi's right hand.

Recently, it is said that the handwriting of the excerpt approved by the emperor is not the same as in the past, and there are many rumors coming out of the palace. Some say that it was written by the scholar, and some say that the Eucharist is ill and cannot write on the back of the right hand, so it is written with the left hand.

The imperial father is sixty-two, and he is the eldest son.

Thinking of this, the palms of the third elder brother couldn't help sweating.

He didn't pay much attention to the war in the northwest, but it was just a rebellion of scabies. The imperial court only took care of the Mongols, and it was not good to use thunderous means.

The fourth elder brother stood beside him, but his brows were slightly furrowed, and his heart felt heavy.

For the treasury, the fourth elder brother is the most clear, although there is still some surplus money on the books, which has been prepared for later use, but in fact it is just the books, and the silver that can really be transferred out is pitiful.

This is not only the case with the national treasury, but also with the feudal treasury of the provinces, which is also worthy of the name.

The imperial court could not take out the silver to supply the northwest army, and all the expenses were attributed to the provincial treasury, which thought that the local people's fire consumption would be doubled.

is really a big rat of the country, thinking that most of the treasury silver is used by corrupt officials and corrupt officials to put it into his pocket, the fourth elder brother's eyes are full of anger.

How it came to this, how it came to this!

The strength of the country is so difficult to even supply more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, think about how not to make people feel angry.

But where there is a day, but where there is a day, the fourth elder brother said to himself in his heart, and the next thing is that it already makes people stunned when he thinks about it...... * Beijing suburbs, Haidian, Cao Yuan.

Li Shi changed his dress, his face was a little restrained, he looked at the maid embroidered warbler standing next to him, and said, "It looks okay, is there anything inappropriate?" ”

Xiuying said with a smile: "Look at what Mrs. said, where can there be anything inappropriate, the meaning of this color is the most lining of the skin color, and it seems that the wife is more and more noble and rich." ”

When Li Shi saw Jiang Ning, he did not wear a flag costume, but changed into a Hanfu.

The upper body is a stone blue satin three-blue flat needle-embroidered folded peony gown, and a sauce-colored satin dark flower peony side pleated skirt, and only a few hostas are inserted on the head.

After listening to the maid's words, Li Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's not about this, it's ...... Look...... Can you cover some ......?"

Hearing this, Xiuying nodded, and said, "Well, maybe it's because of the dark color, but it's better to look at it." ”

When Li heard this, he touched his belly, but he also knew that he was just deceiving himself. After all, it's already seven months old, and even if you cover it up, you can see that your body is wrong at this glance.

"Hey!" She sighed, but her expression was quite helpless.

I heard someone under the corridor: "Madam, the eldest grandmother sent back, saying that the old lady has already passed the good village, and she is going to this garden." ”

Hearing this, Li quickly got up and hurriedly walked out.

When Xiuying saw it, she hurriedly took the maids and women to follow, protecting her left and right, for fear that she would be unstable.

When he walked to the second gate of the garden, Li's forehead was already dotted with sweat droplets.

But she couldn't walk anymore, she listened to the footsteps, and gasped a little.

Seeing a few carriages coming in from the gate in front, Li's eyes couldn't help but be a little pantothenic, and his eye circles were already red.

The carriage stopped, and Lee stepped forward, his lips moving, tears already coming out.

At the back of Chu Yu's carriage, he had already come down first, walked to his mother-in-law's side, and waited for the people inside to come out.

The curtain of the car jumped open, revealing the face of an old woman, which was tense and a little serious. At the moment of looking at Li, there was more joy in his eyebrows.

On the old woman's left, a timid little girl tugged at her sleeve, revealing half of her fair face......*
