"Horqin's milk tea is the most mellow, and the sky of Horqin is as blue as a jewel......" The Queen Mother looked at Li and said softly: "Don't forget, you have the blood of the Golden Family flowing in your body, and you are the descendant of Horqin......"

For the Mongolian language, Li is only familiar with the words of greeting and salute. She couldn't understand all of the Queen Mother's words, only the words "don't", "Horqin", and "descendants".

But in the face of the Queen Mother's kindness, she could only pretend to understand, took the Queen Mother's hand, and said softly: "I know, respect the instructions of the Queen Mother." The Queen Mother is the golden phoenix that flew out of Horqin, and the people on Horqin's side will also pray for the Queen Mother. ”

Outside the hall, Concubine Yi, who had gone and returned, listened to the words of the Queen Mother, and confirmed her guess more and more, squinting her eyes slightly, thinking about Guo Luoluo's festival with her son in the Cao family, she only felt a headache.

"Golden Phoenix?" When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes were a little confused, she looked at the solemn and gorgeous Ningshou Palace, and sighed: "The golden phoenix with broken wings, where can it compare to the lark that sings freely?" If only I hadn't left Horqin......"

Li didn't understand at all, and looked at the old lady in the palace standing next to him.

The old lady raised her head, looked at the Queen Mother, and saw that the Queen Mother didn't mean to ask her to translate, so she drooped her eyelids.

After a while, the Queen Mother turned to Li, patted her hand gently, and did not speak again......* Coming out of the palace, Chu Yu followed Li into the carriage.

Because her car was driven by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in accordance with her knighthood system, which was more gorgeous than the Li family, she did not take her own carriage and came with her mother-in-law.

Chu Yu didn't know what the Queen Mother said to her mother-in-law, but seeing her sad face, she persuaded in a low voice: "Mrs. doesn't need to worry too much, doesn't it mean that the Queen Mother is better for her old man?" Maybe you can survive this winter and start spring. ”

Li lowered his head, took the handkerchief and tried to tears, and said: "The Queen Mother, her old man misses her mother's family, one bite at a time...... I arrived in the capital when I was a teenager, and I was widowed in my early twenties, and I felt bitter when I thought about it......"

Speaking of this, she remembered that the Queen Mother was not an ordinary old woman, but the dignified mother of a country, and it was already disrespectful to mention it like this. She took her mouth, and all that was left was a sigh ......* Tangquan, outside the palace.

Wei Zhu stood at the door, saw the blue figure coming with the attendant, took two steps forward, and wanted to make a thousand salutes, but was supported by the visitor.

"Thirteenth master, the slave maid doesn't dare to break the rules, let's let the slave and maid ask the thirteenth master to say goodbye." Because there were guards stationed not far away, Wei Zhu couldn't be loud and said in a low voice.

"I haven't seen you for some years, and I often hear Cao Hao mention you. If you can get through, you are also happy for you. These are imaginary, forget it. When the trouble came out, Ming'er spread it outside, but let the villain talk. The thirteenth elder brother helped his arm and said lightly.

Before the forty-seventh year of Kangxi's "abolished prince", the thirteenth elder brother was Kangxi's favorite prince and a frequent visitor to the Qianqing Palace. Wei Zhu was a little eunuch who was doing chores under Liang Jiugong at that time, although he was young, he was clever and would come to things, and the thirteenth elder brother still remembered him.

For the thirteenth elder brother in the early years, he was the high-ranking prince elder brother, Wei Zhu knew his identity, and he only kowtowed when he saw it; Now that he has become the most relied on eunuch in front of the emperor, even the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother don't dare to give him a look at random, but he doesn't dare to show it at all.

Because of his closeness to Cao Hao, he has long been sympathetic to the thirteenth elder brother who was "in distress"; Now after listening to the words of the thirteenth elder brother, thinking that he could recognize himself, Wei Zhu's heart was also quite touched.

"Thirteenth master, please come with the slave and maid." Wei Zhu didn't say anything else, and bowed down.

The thirteenth elder brother raised his head and looked at the palace not far away, only to feel that this road was extremely far away. He nodded at Wei Zhu and walked forward with Wei Zhu.

In the palace, Kangxi sat on the kang, his pants retreated to his thighs, exposing half of his legs. Silver needles were pierced on the acupuncture points near the knees.

Fang Chonggong sighed, squatted down, and took out the silver needles on the acupuncture points in turn. I don't know if it's the heat in the house, or the straining of acupuncture, his forehead is sweaty.

Subsequently, the palace maid who was accompanying him stepped forward and pulled down Kangxi's trouser leg.

"You have written down the method of acupuncture and the acupuncture points in turn?" Kangxi looked at Fang Chonggong and said.

"If you go back to the emperor, the grass people wrote it down according to the emperor's instructions and handed it over to Imperial Doctor Huang." Although Fang Chonggong has given the imperial doctor to wear it, he has not yet realized the "official body".

Kangxi nodded and said, "Except for acupuncture and moxibustion and medicine, is there no other way?" ”

Fang Chonggong pondered for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, there is a sky outside this sky, there are people outside the people, and the grass people dare not make judgments. The grass people were born in the market, lack medical skills, and their knowledge is limited. ”

It has been half a year since Fang Chonggong was summoned to Rehe.

Regarding the surname of the old man in front of him, Kangxi boasted that he also knew a little bit, so after listening to his words, he nodded, believing that he had no deception.

"I know that you are impatient with the rules of the palace, and your relationship with colleagues in the Tai Hospital is mediocre. I don't force you, I have a son who has been suffering from leg disease for many years, so you can go to his side on an errand in the future. Kangxi said.

When Fang Chonggong heard this, he was really depressed.

As early as July and August, when Kangxi's left arm was acupuncture for a while, Kangxi asked him what reward he wanted. His answer was that he was not used to the rules of the palace, and he was not worried about his young daughter, so he wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible.

finally survived until the holy drive back to Beijing, he thought that the emperor would let him go, who would have thought that this would be a change in front of him.

It is said that the emperor speaks in Chrysostom, which is really nonsense.

Fang Chonggong was depressed in his heart, in the end, he was taken by Tianwei, and he had to lean over to answer the order.

While speaking, Wei Zhu had already arrived with the thirteenth elder brother and came in to say goodbye.

Kangxi was silent for a moment, and then said, "Xuan." ”

In the first half of the imperial period, Fang Chonggong also heard some rumors inside and outside the palace, and knew that the thirteenth elder brother was an unfavored prince, and he had already gone out of the palace, but he had a good relationship with the Cao family.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as he left the palace, he was afraid that he would be assigned to a few little brothers in the palace. In that case, I don't know how long it will take to get out.

The thirteenth elder brother had already come in, took two steps forward, knelt down on his knees, took off his hat, put it aside, leaned over and said, "Erchen...... Yinxiang ...... Greetings to the Emperor Amma, the Emperor Ama is blessed with gold and ......"

Kangxi looked at the half-gray hair on the head of the thirteenth elder brother and couldn't help but be stunned. In the blink of an eye, it's been ten years.

There was silence in the room, and Fang Chonggong stood aside, all uncomfortable.

It is not easy for this emperor and prince, father and son have to kowtow a few times before they can speak.

"I heard that you will go to Tangquan to recuperate in September? How's your leg condition, are you getting better? After a while, Kangxi asked coldly.

"Erchen is out of the city on the fifth day of the ninth month, and his leg disease has flare-up once in winter, and he has already gotten better." The thirteenth elder brother did not look up, but bowed his head and replied.

Naturally, he would not be so naïve as to think that the imperial father summoned him for the first time because he was worried about his leg disease, and it seemed that it was also related to his departure from the mansion in the past six months, and he wanted to determine whether he had other thoughts.

There is geothermal heat on the ground, and there is residual heat in the tentacles. But the thirteenth elder brother still felt cold in his heart, only to feel that his nose was sour, and a line of tears had rolled down. Tears fell to the ground, forming small water stains.

The thirteenth elder brother didn't want people to see his gaffe, so he leaned down even lower.

"If you are not in good health, you should rest in peace and don't think about miscellaneous things. I have a good doctor here, who has made great achievements in rheumatism, let him go with you, and let him take care of you. Kangxi's voice was a little warm.

The thirteenth elder brother is getting colder and colder, even if he has the heart to serve the country, what can he do? The Imperial Father does not trust him, and this is to send him back to a cage that is not a cage.

"Erchen...... Obey! The thirteenth elder brother clenched his fists and kowtowed.

"This is the imperial doctor I chose for you, kneel down." Kangxi pointed to Fang Chonggong on the side and said.

The thirteenth elder brother raised his head and followed what Kangxi was pointing at, glanced at Fang Chonggong, knocked on the leader's order again, and then retreated. Fang Chonggong hesitated for a moment, and then retreated.

From beginning to end, the thirteenth elder brother did not look up at Kangxi sitting on the yellow mat on the kang.

Kangxi turned his head, looked at the folds on the kang table, and asked Wei Zhu next to him: "Let someone ask, have they arrived at the ninth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother." ”

"Huh!" Wei Zhu responded, bowed and withdrew, feeling relieved.

Fortunately, the prince summoned by the emperor's master today also has the ninth elder brother, the twelfth elder brother, and the sixteenth elder brother, which makes the summons of the thirteenth elder brother not so eye-catching. Otherwise, when the news of the thirteenth elder brother's summons reaches the ears of the other princes, I don't know what suspicion it will arouse.

It's just strange to say, how did the emperor think of it, they are all the elder brothers who are not inconspicuous and do not show water, and the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother and others who have been assisting the government, but none of them are summoned.

The Sacred Heart is unfathomable, and this is the Sacred Heart is unfathomable.

Not only was Wei Zhu strange, but the ninth elder brother, the twelfth elder brother, and the sixteenth elder brother who met outside the palace also looked at each other, and they couldn't figure out why the imperial father would summon everyone to come.

Originally, the sixteenth elder brother was still worried about returning to Beijing, so he would make a decision about the matter of "tobacco". It's just that now that the Queen Mother is seriously ill and the Imperial Father is not in good health, it seems that this is not the time to say this.

Unexpectedly, Kangxi summoned him this time for this matter.

After a few elder brothers came in and knelt down to say goodbye, Kangxi picked up an excerpt and said to the sixteenth elder brother: "Yinlu, I have seen this tobacco excerpt." The idea is good, it is better to block it than to loosen it, and it can also increase taxes for the country. It's just that the people are shallow-sighted, and if they see the benefits of tobacco, they may have to reduce their arable land. If there is a business trip and tobacco occupies the arable land, it will be a disaster for the country. ”

For this, the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Hao had already discussed countermeasures, and stepped forward and replied: "Huang Ama, the ministers have also worried about this, so these relevant rules should be formulated more strictly, and the tobacco land should be separated from the local registered fertile land, so as to prevent problems before they occur." ”

When Kangxi heard this, he nodded and said, "You have always liked music theory and mathematics, and you are a layman for businessmen." Cao Hao's side, although he has a lot of ideas, he also has other responsibilities, and he may not be able to do his best in this matter. In my opinion, it is better to find another appropriate person and plan this matter carefully. ”

The sixteenth elder brother listened to it, and it was exactly what he wanted.

This tobacco errand cannot be completed overnight, and there are many trivial things in it, and if you want to achieve full success, you really have to operate for three or five years.

"Emperor Ama Shengming, the sons also know that they are not enough to take on this matter. Huang Ama is the most discerning person, and he also asked Huang Ama to point out his own hands. The sixteenth elder brother bowed and replied.

Listening to the father-son answer, the ninth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother who knelt on the ground with the sixteenth elder brother had a different taste in their hearts.

When Brother Jiu heard Cao Hao's name, he only felt very harsh, but he was also a little curious. Cao Hao's tossing over the years is mostly related to silver. It's just that what can this tobacco be said before the emperor? That thing is cheap and has a thin profit, and the ninth elder brother is not uncommon.

The twelfth elder brother, on the other hand, is full of envy.

Since beating his uncle Jiumen Admiral Tuoheqi to ask for guilt, he has been idle. Although he is not a "tide file" or a "Eight Masters", he is like an invisible person, neglected by his father and brothers.

"This candidate, I have thought about it, just Brother Jiu." Kangxi's voice was not loud, but it made the sixteenth elder brother and the ninth elder brother tremble.

The ninth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother both raised their heads, and both of them were shocked.

Even if this "tobacco" plan looks like it can make money, there is no need to point a prince to be in charge of it, right?

"In addition to Henan Province, there are also many hilly and mountainous areas in Shandong and Shanxi. It is not necessary to plant at the same time, but it can be tried in one state capital per province. When Kangxi said this, he glanced at Brother Jiu a few times and said: "I have said that you have happened a few times before, but you still have no self-respect, you only love businessmen, and you love yellow and white things." The good prince and elder brother are like an old rich man in the countryside who has never seen the world, and he is not in a proper manner. Now, I've got you an errand, so you have to be careful. You are allowed to do your best, but you are not allowed to be greedy. I will be rewarded for what I do well; If you don't do well, be careful that I will return your wealth to the treasury and use it as military funds! ”

Brother Jiu listened to the front, and felt a little interesting, quite excited; After hearing the end, he knew that this was not an errand to make money, but a coolie, and hurriedly said: "Huang Ama, the sons are stubborn, not to be of great use, and they dare not miss the errand of the emperor. ”

"You don't have any jokes. You have been idle enough in the past few years, you don't contribute to the court, and you follow the merchants of the capital, what kind of system will you become! Kangxi's voice brought an undoubted decision.

When Brother Jiu saw that "Jun Wu joked" came out, he knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion, so he could only lean over and accept his life.

The sixteenth elder brother was beside him, he was really surprised, and he didn't understand what the imperial father meant by this move.

According to his and Cao Hao's thoughts, even if an official is selected to be responsible for this errand on the surface, in fact, it will still be handled by the sixteenth elder brother, without the hands of others. Before the "tobacco" plan was saved, it became a means for corrupt officials to accumulate money, and it became a move to work for the people.

Although the sixteenth elder brother is not good at businessmen, Han Jiang, who was born in a generation of businessmen, arranges the details, and he can also know everything. Who would have thought that the imperial father would have another idea and give the errand directly to Brother Jiu.

Kangxi saw that the ninth elder brother received the order, turned to the twelfth elder brother, and said: "The errand of the Internal Affairs Office is said to be heavy, and from now on, the twelfth elder brother will go to the Internal Affairs Office on an errand. ”

When several elder brothers heard this, they were all in their hearts.

The prince's elder brother went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs on an errand, and he was also in charge of the post of Prime Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The rules of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all fixed, so what can be "burdensome"?

Nothing more than a national mourning.

* Household department, outside the yamen.

Cao Hao turned over and got on the horse, only to feel that his face was cold, and snowflakes had already floated in the sky. He looked up at the dark sky. It is better to say that it snows early, and the weather can be sunny earlier......
