Chapter 542: Growth (I)

Whether it is the prince of the Eight Banners or the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the honor of rise and fall is on Kangxi alone. They are extremely concerned about the movements in the palace.

No one dares to admit that they are speculating on the Sacred Heart, but that's what happened.

The errand can be mediocre, as long as you don't make too many mistakes, and no one will find fault with it for no reason, but this "wind direction" is to be paid attention to.

Even if you don't have the heart to invite favors and don't want to ask about the emperor's preferences, you have to be an interesting person and commit any taboos.

Summoned Cao Yan into the palace late at night, for the impeachment of the previous imperial history?

Could it be that the father and son of the Cao family are going to lose power? A few days ago, Fu Erdan was dismissed as the Minister of the Interior, is this going to be the turn of the Cao family's father and son?

The emperor has always treated his old ministers preferentially, why is this time?

This speculation has come and gone, and the conclusions drawn are a little confusing.

Every month, it is said that the person who goes to the temple to pay tribute is either Shangshu Dutong or the minister of the interior.

In the past few years, it has been the turn of the Minister of the Interior, and most of them are Fu Erdan, and yesterday, it was Alinga, the Minister of the Interior who led the guard, to salute in the past.

Since last year's "Killing the Eagle" incident, Alinga's life has not been easy.

Although Kangxi did not dismiss him, in anger, he said that the Alinga Party attached the eighth elder brother.

The eighth elder brother is now in a difficult situation, and Alinga has to be affected by it. Even if he is the respect of the uncle, he can only be a man with his tail between his legs, and he no longer has the flamboyance of the past.

Alinga is gradually recovering the old scenery, so is the master behind it, "Eighth Elder Brother", also going to enter the court again?

"Suspicion gives birth to dark ghosts", this is not a matter of thought, otherwise the deep meaning cannot be inquired.

The "wall grass" who had not alienated the Eighth Elder Brother before, but now they couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and began to weigh what gifts to give to the Eighth Elder Brother.

Those who have cleared their names with the Eighth Elder Brother, although they are worried, there are also many people who can find reasons to convince themselves not to be soldiers.

In the past, the crown prince was established twice, but what was the result?

The eighth elder brother is really sick, maybe because of the change of seasons, he coughs badly.

In the mouth of the ninth elder brother who came to visit, when he heard the rumors in the capital, the eighth elder brother turned pale and his eyes were more aggressive.

Brother Jiu is clear-minded and not a confused person.

If it had been left earlier, Brother Jiu would not have been so anxious, and maybe he would have been secretly proud, so that the method would fool everyone else to Brother Eight to come to Ah Ling's "comeback", and I haven't seen the follow-up, and there are already revelations flying all over the world, no matter what I say.

When the wind gradually rose and it was all drawn to the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother couldn't help but be frightened.

It's hard to say anything else for a while, but the old man is moody now, and everyone is aware of it.

If he is attracted to pay attention to the eighth elder brother again, who can guarantee that the designation is a good thing; If you find an excuse and attack again, how can people resist.

The room was very quiet, and after a while, the eighth elder brother's expression gradually soothed, and he picked the corners of his mouth.

You sang and I appeared, it's really lively!

The age difference between the two brothers is not much, but the ninth elder brother has respect for him. Seeing him smile, most of the worries in Brother Jiu's heart were dissipated.

"Do more wrong, do less wrong, why can't anyone see it!" Eighth Brother sighed.

In the heart of the ninth elder brother, he has always been suspicious of the fourteenth elder brother, and now that he thinks of this, he feels more and more that he has a ghost.

"Starling, Cao Yan's going to the military department is the means of the old fourteenth envoy. Earlier, he had a lot of scruples, but now he can't wait. Hmph, this little white-eyed wolf. If I had been told to catch him by the tail, I would have seen him alive. Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said.

Eighth Elder Brother waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ninth brother, let's have some comfort, save lightly, and let's see the excitement first." ”

Brother Jiu frowned and said, "Just admit it?" Sesame trivial things can be pulled to the eighth elder brother, no matter what the purpose is, his heart can be punished. ”

The eighth elder brother restrained the smile on his face, looked a little serious, and said, "I have thought a lot about these things. is like this, but he has no face to feel sorry for himself or feel about his life experience. The so-called good popularity is the heart that can share joy and hardship, and is easy to deviate. But because of these false names, he committed the taboo of Huang Ama, and ended up in such an embarrassing and embarrassing end. What's making a fuss, even if it's a monkey show, it has to make people even. In the end, it was difficult to hide the loss in his voice.

Brother Jiu didn't speak, but his fists were clenched painfully, and he only felt that his stomach was full of turbidity and he couldn't pour out.

When he came out of the eighth elder brother's house, the ninth elder brother drooped his face, and his face was full of gloom.

If he hadn't known Cao Yan's itinerary yesterday, he would have suspected that Cao Yan had deliberately led up this right and wrong.

The person who has nothing to do and wants to fall into the well, your ninth master will not get used to you......* Cao Yan also heard some of the gossip outside, but he didn't take it to heart.

At this time, it is useless to talk back, and after a while, everyone will find it boring. After two days, a new topic took its place.

After all, the world doesn't revolve around one person, and not everyone looks in one direction.

Cao Yan's words are quite comfortable.

The small step of the fourteenth elder brother's withdrawal fulfilled himself, and it can be regarded as cheapening Cao Yan. Otherwise, a prince and elder brother will be cold to you all day long, which will be annoying enough.

Although it is only a five-pin Langzhong, because of the identity of Heshuo, several officials of the military department treat Cao Yan politely.

Several clan princes, although they are not enthusiastic, but their attitudes are okay. Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, there is Nersu here, and there is a fourteenth elder brother who sees the sky and is sticky.

Yes, recently, the fourteenth elder brother likes to be clingy, and when he has nothing to do, he likes to turn the end in front of Cao Yan.

Cao Yan was speechless, but he didn't have a reason to open his mouth to expel him, he was still buried in the case, and he was not moved by foreign objects.

I don't know if I don't see it, I am shocked when I see it, and the post road system at this time is already extending in all directions.

There are post horses and stagecoaches in each post station, and the cost is not small, but sometimes it is a year and a half to get an errand.

Ten million taels in three years, open source and reduce expenditure, if you think of a good way, this post road can come to the money. Thinking of this, Cao Yan's face smiled.

However, the post road is a treasury allocated silver, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Even if it can be "throttled", the remaining silver will go directly to the treasury. Even if Kangxi wanted to stretch out his hand, he couldn't.

It seems that you have to plan for a good life.

In Cao Yan's heart, he couldn't help but have a ridiculous method.

In the end, which capable person shouted the slogan that made him so impressed, as for whether it was feasible or not, it still needs to be verified...... * Cao family, Dongfu, the main hall of the inner courtyard.

Looking at Tian Xiang who was kneeling on the ground, thinking of Ruhui who refused to come back, Zhao Jiashi couldn't help but feel upset, brought the cigarette bag and pot to his mouth, and took two puffs vigorously.

Since yesterday, it has been Cao Song's six-day rest.

After thinking about it, Cao Shuo still told his brother about Ruhui and Li. After all, it is his uncle's family, and he doesn't want to make the two families suspicious because of himself.

Now my mother's mind is often confused, and my sister-in-law is not easy to talk to, so my brother is still in charge.

Although he heard that Ruhui's surname was spicy, Cao Song was still very surprised that she was so straightforward and decisive.

What is even more surprising is that Cao Shuo, who has always been gentle, was also very resolute at this time, that is, he agreed to leave with Ruhui.

He has already written the "Letter of Releasing His Wife", and now there is a shortage of people who are in charge. Tell my brother, it's not to ask my brother to call the shots, to settle the matter early, so that the dowry of the Shilang's Mansion can be returned.

This marriage will be separated in March, and it is a joke to talk about it. Of course, there are places where Cao Shuo is not, but when the world talks about it, the biggest loss of reputation is Ruhui.

One is a younger brother and the other is a cousin, both of whom are close relatives, and Cao Songshi doesn't want them to be so rash. Moreover, it is a major event related to the friendship and reputation of the two families.

In his heart, he also felt guilty and felt very sorry for his brother. It seems that he took advantage of himself, but he threw the trouble to his younger brother.

Guilt is guilt, responsibility is blame, Cao Song still can't accept Cao Shuo's statement, and does not approve of "harmony".

What is this? I don't have to break up for a fight, what's that called.

Cao Song didn't think of a solution yet, so Zhao Jia's side asked Cao Song and Cao Shuo to come over.

It is also a matter of wisdom.

Ruhui returned to save half a month, and asked her son to pick up three times, but she didn't come back. Zhao Jia's is not a fool, and naturally knows that there is a mistake in this.

What else could there be? It's not because the people in Cao Shuo's house have bodies.

After calling Cao Song and Cao Shuo, Zhao Jia's family called Tian Xiang again.

According to Zhaojia's meaning, he wanted to send Tianxiang to Zhuangzi outside the city to give birth, and it was also an eyesore for Ruhui to come back.

"Leaving the son to go to the mother", giving birth to a child can be regarded as making up for the difficult life of Ruhui's heir.

How much of a sin is it to hook up with a gentleman and conceive a child? Zhao Jia's has always looked down on this the most, if it weren't for Tian Xiang's ordinary appearance and honest duty, I am afraid that it would have made people shave their ears in the past.

After more than three months of body, Tian Xiang was already a little pregnant, and she couldn't help but tremble a little when she knelt on the ground.

Zhao Jiashi frowned, waved his hand at Tian Xiang, and said, "The previous one, remember it for the time being, go back and pack up, and ask the housekeeper to send you to Zhuangzi to give birth in a while." ”

Tian Xiang's face turned white and leaned over in response. Because she had been kneeling for a long time, when she wanted to get up, her legs were numb and she couldn't stand steadily, her body staggered, and she almost fell.

Cao Shuo was beside him, very attentive.

Although he was reluctant to kneel for a long time, he knew his mother's temper and was afraid of extraneous branches, so he paid attention to it.

Seeing that something was wrong with Tian Xiang, Cao Shuo hurriedly stepped forward and just picked it up.

Tian Xiang's head was heavy, and his eyes were black for a while, and after being hugged by Cao Shuo, he finally fainted.

Cao Shuo was startled, and hurriedly called: "Add incense, add fragrance......"

After calling several times, Tian Xiang woke up leisurely, looking at Cao Shuo's face, but he was a little stunned.

"Humph!" Zhao Jiashi said coldly: "It's still bright this day, when I am a dead man?" ”

Tian Xiang came to her senses at this time, hurriedly got up from Cao Shuo's arms, lowered her head in a panic and blessed Zhaojia's family, and went down.

Watching Tian Xiang leave, Cao Shuo turned his head and said to Zhao Jia's family: "Mother, Tian Xiang is now double, and she is still waiting to give birth in Beijing, although Zhuangzi outside the city is elegant, it is not as cheap as Beijing." ”

Zhao Jia's face was already terrifying, and he said to Cao Shuo: "You are a benevolent and righteous child, you know that you feel sorry for people, so where are you putting your daughter-in-law?" I can't complain that she won't come back, I guess I can't stand your contempt, so it's like this. It turned out that you were a sensible girl, but she looked away. It's not your turn to talk too much, so send it to Zhuangzi early. When the child is born, it is serious to send it away early. ”

What Zhao Jiashi said is the same as Wu Ya's meaning, "leave the son to the mother".

When Cao Shuo heard this, he looked at Cao Song on the side of him, with a little pleading.

Cao Song was running away, not paying attention to his brother's eyes asking for help.

Seeing Tian Xiang kneeling on the ground, knowing that she was pregnant, Cao Song felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. For some reason, I remembered Cao Yi's biological mother who I had never seen.

He was also worried that his mother would kick Tianxiang out in order to stand up for Ruhui, but he saw that he was only relieved to send her to Zhuangzi.

I don't want to, this side has become "going to the mother and leaving the child" again, Cao Song was a little speechless, thinking in his heart, is there a way to have both.

Cao Shuo had no hope of asking for help, so he had to step forward, knelt on his knees, lowered his head and said: "Mother, it is the son's fault that makes my cousin sad and makes my mother and uncle and aunt sad." ”

"It's better to say than to sing, since you know it's wrong, you should still think about it, how to treat your daughter-in-law well, and maintain a servant so wholeheartedly?" Zhao Jia's voice was a little sharp.

Cao Shuo raised his head and said, "Mother, it's the son who has no virtue and no talent, and he has wronged his cousin." The son was ashamed and unhappy, and was willing to leave. Speaking of this, when I think of Ruhui's resolute body, my heart is as uncomfortable as stuffed with cotton.

"And leave?" Zhao Jiashi was so angry that he almost raised his neck, and threw the cigarette bag and pot in his hand towards Cao Shuo: "Bastard, what is this called, it is too deceitful?" Which one are you buried, it's your grandmother's house, it's your uncle's house, bastard......"
