In the place of Silausu, the holy driving line is there.

Although the north wind was howling outside, there were several charcoal basins in the tent, which were very warm. Brother Ten held chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of flying dragon meat in the hot pot and brought it to his mouth.

But it tastes the same as chewing wax, and I can't feel the slightest taste.

This time, there are only three princes, ten elder brothers, twelve elder brothers, and sixteenth elder brothers.

It just so happened that some flying dragons had arrived in the imperial dining room, and the sixteenth elder brother made someone cook the pot and invited the two brothers to come over and eat together.

It's not a feast, it's not wine, it's not overstepping.

The twelfth elder brother filled a bowl of flying dragon soup and drank it in a small sip and a small sip with a spoon. Among the princes, he has always been the one forgotten by the imperial father. stayed up to more than thirty, and he didn't follow him a few times, and this time the imperial father appointed him, which also made him a little flattered.

The sixteenth elder brother looked at the tenth elder brother, and then at the twelfth elder brother, and sighed in his heart. Whether it's disgust or fear, these two are too obvious.

Xu is because of the death of the eighth elder brother, so that the tenth elder brother has no complaints against the imperial father, did not summon him, and never showed up; Every time he appeared, he bowed his head and remained silent, refusing to say a word.

The twelfth elder brother, on the other hand, was panicked, and asked a question, eager to kneel down and pound garlic immediately.

came and went, Kangxi saw these two sons, and they were all frowning and silent, and the atmosphere was very depressed.

Even if the sixteenth elder brother wants to live two sentences from Zhongyuan, he has nowhere to start, so he can only be in a hurry. I invited the two brothers here today to think about how to persuade them.

Before the sixteenth elder brother could speak, he heard the tenth elder brother say: "There is meat but no wine, it's really disappointing!" ”

The twelfth elder brother was the most timid, for fear that the sixteenth elder brother would really take out the wine, and hurriedly said: "Tenth brother, I can't drink, how many pairs of eyes are watching." ”

"yes, I can't drink it. What bullshit rules, bullshit rules! Brother Ten put down the dishes and chopsticks and sneered twice.

The sixteenth elder brother saw that he was holding back the fire, and was afraid that he would make trouble, so he said: "Don't worry, Brother Ten, although the eighth brother has knowledge underground, and he doesn't count these things, but as brothers, we should also endure the rules." ”

Hearing the mention of the eighth elder brother, the tenth elder brother clenched his fists vigorously, looked at the hot pot and said: "The eighth elder brother used to eat flying dragon meat the most, and he still talked about it when he was sick this year. Between the words, there is a sense of grief and indignation.

When the twelfth elder brother heard this, he was a little apprehensive. I can't persuade him, and I can't listen to it, for fear that he will say something that he can't say.

The sixteenth elder brother only felt a headache, and he didn't know if his brother was really stupid or stupid. Even if there is really resentment in his heart, he should hide it, is he really the Ama who is an ordinary person in the imperial tent, can he play a small surname?

Fortunately, when Brother Ten said this, he drank the dragon soup one by one. In that way, it doesn't feel like tasting delicious food, but like "replacing wine with soup".

At this time, I saw Zhao Feng enter the tent, and whispered to the sixteenth elder brother, "Master, Manager Wei is here." ”

When the sixteenth elder brother heard this, he stood up and said, "The two elder brothers will accompany less, and the younger brother will come when he goes." ”

When I got to the outside of the tent, I saw two attendants carrying lanterns, and Wei Zhu was pacing beside him.

Seeing the sixteenth elder brother coming, Wei Zhu straightened his waist and said, "Long live the master's mouth, summon the sixteenth elder brother to see him." ”

It was the beginning of the month, it was pitch black outside, and the sixteenth elder brother's heart was also bottomless.

Following Wei Zhu's side, he took out a piece of printing material from his purse and stuffed it into Wei Zhu's hand. I wanted to ask, but there were two attendants on the side, and he couldn't afford to be charged with "spying on the camp".

Wei Zhu was still clever, looking at the apprehension of the sixteenth elder brother, and said with a smile: "The emperor treats the sixteenth master, he really has nothing to say, which prince has such a face?" ”

Although there is no truth in the words, but looking at the meaning, it doesn't seem like a bad thing.

The sixteenth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and gossiped with Wei Zhu without a word.

While talking, when he arrived outside the imperial tent, he saw Zhang Tingyu withdrawing from inside.

Seeing the sixteenth elder brother, Zhang Tingyu hurriedly bowed down to worship, and was held up by the sixteenth elder brother: "In the future, I will call 'Lord Zhongtang', please don't be polite." ”

A few days ago, after Kangxi agreed to Cao Yin's resignation, Sahab, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was transferred to the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Tingyu, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, was promoted to a bachelor of the cabinet and concurrently served as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

The bachelor of the waiter is from the fourth rank, the cabinet bachelor is from the second grade, Zhang Tingyu has been promoted to four levels in a row and has become a hot celebrity in front of the emperor.

But he didn't dare to hold it up, and said "don't dare" and "don't dare".

Wei Zhu had already entered the royal tent and came out to summon the sixteenth elder brother in.

The tent was brightly lit, and Kangxi sat cross-legged on the couch, holding a book in his hand. Seeing that the sixteenth elder brother had arrived, he put down the fold and said to Wei Zhu: "Give the sixteenth elder brother a seat." ”

"Huh." Wei Zhu responded, set up a small stool, and sent it to the sixteenth elder brother.

Kangxi tapped Fang Cai's fold with his finger and said: "Fu Ning'an's excerpt, when it comes to the salary and money of the soldiers in the northwest, the affairs are very complicated. What do you think? ”

In military affairs, the imperial father has always been used to the Sacred Heart, how can he have consulted with others?

When the sixteenth elder brother heard this, his heart had already turned eighteen times, thinking of Cao Hao. Like the fourth elder brother, he also thinks that the emperor's acceptance of Cao Yin's resignation is not because the Cao family's holy favor has faded, but because he wants to use Cao Hao.

Even so, going directly to the northwest to manage the soldiers' salaries and food is a bit heavier. This does not involve one province and one part, but the whole body. With Cao Hao's qualifications, he may be disgraced and thankless.

Thinking of this, the sixteenth elder brother pondered for a moment and said: "If you go back to Huang Ama, the affairs involved in this soldier's salary, money and food are not one or two places, and they need to be taken care of by fine people. If you want to deal with it in an orderly manner, not one person or two people can do it. It is better to select dozens of capable officials among the six ministries and nine secretaries, so that they can be used in front of the army. ”

"Where is Cao Hao used?" Kangxi glanced at the sixteenth elder brother and asked in a deep voice.

The sixteenth elder brother is like sitting on pins and needles, where is it used, isn't it all the emperor's father who has the final say?

His forehead was already oozing with sweat, and he forced himself to calm down, and said: "Huang Ama is used to employing people, and Cao Hao is very appropriate in the position of head of the Internal Affairs Office. Although there was negligence and inconsiderate handling, it also made the Yamen of the Internal Affairs Department a lot of color. ”

"Go down and write a baoju excerpt, I want to use Cao Hao, and if the grade is not good, I will be promoted again, so I will serve as the household servant." Kangxi waved his hand at the sixteenth elder brother and said.

"Huang Ama, the official of the six departments, and the ...... recommended by the ministers" The sixteenth elder brother was very surprised when he heard this. In the final analysis, although he is on an errand, he is not the elder brother in charge after all, where is he qualified to recommend the officials of the six departments.

Besides, in his heart, he still didn't want Cao Hao to go to the household department.

Now going to the household department, there is not much difference from going to Funing to settle the account before the errand, it is all a matter of worrying about the soldiers' salaries, money and food.

Kangxi swept the sixteenth elder brother, a chill had already been added to his face, and he said coldly: "Little Sixteen, this is an errand for the sixth department?" Or I'll send you to the household? ”

When the sixteenth elder brother heard this, he thought of the fourth elder brother in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a stir in his back, and he shook his head vigorously...... * Beijing, Caofu, Wutong Garden, Shangfang.

In the dark, Cao Hao's hand rubbed the scar on Chu Yu's chest, thinking of the changes in the spring, he still felt afraid. Almost, Chu Yu is about to die, the children lose their mothers, and they lose their wives, what a painful thing it will be.

Today, in the guest house, Fang Chonggong was finally left.

Within three months, it was his promise to avenge the death of Wang's father and son.

In three months, I should be able to find out something. Even if Tu Shou is just a lackey, in Cao Hao's heart, he is also a person who deserves to die.

"Forehead ......" Chu Yu's hand grabbed Cao Hao's hand and said in a low voice: "Does the forehead have something on your mind?" ”

"In this world, life is harder than death." Cao Hao replied thoughtfully: "It's not that I'm afraid of death, it's not that I want to live secretly, but I have some concerns, I have responsibilities to bear, and I have to live." ”

When Chu Yu heard this, she only felt inexplicably sad, leaned her head on her husband's shoulder, and said, "I'm afraid of death......"

Seeing his wife like this, Cao Hao regretted it a little and talked to her about what to do. He turned over and covered his wife under him, bowed his head to her ear, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, for the sake of the husband, I will sell my strength, and study the words of wanting to die with my wife......

"It's so itchy...... Chu Yu couldn't help but say, "Forehead......"

The next words were blocked in his mouth, ......and although Fang Chonggong was persuaded by Cao Hao, he did not go directly to the Guogong Mansion to seek revenge, but he only stayed in the Cao family for three days before he said goodbye and left.

The bodies of the three fathers and sons of the Wang family, Cao Hao's side, have already seen that they have been collected and buried in Fangshan.

Fang Chonggong is going to Henan Mansion to find the Wang family's relatives to see if he can renew the incense for Wang Wu. It's not good for their father and son to become lonely ghosts, and there will be no one to worship after death.

Cao Hao did not agree with Fang Chonggong's idea, but he did not say anything against it.

Although on the wanted list, the head of the thief wanted by the Criminal Department is "Han Qi", and the one painted on the portrait of the sea capture is also far from the same as the Gong of the same species. However, when it was said that in Shahe Town, Changping, Fang Chonggong and the officers and soldiers were caught quickly.

He can't stay in Cao's Mansion and not go out, it's good to go outside to avoid the wind for the time being. After a few months when things fade down, who will remember this case.

It just so happened that Wei Hei went to Henan with his wife, and Fang Chonggong went out of Beijing with him. Qi Niang did not go with Wei Hei and Vanilla, nor did she go with her father, but stayed in the capital to take care of Wang Ying.

Li did not live in Laba in Tangquan, and when she got the news of her husband's resignation, she couldn't sit still. I wanted to ask my husband some things, but I was afraid that my husband would have any difficulties, so I wiped my husband's face; If you don't ask, you can't let go of your heart.

Cao Yin is not abnormal in front of people, but in Li's eyes, he sees that her husband is absent-minded and forced to smile.

She was in a hurry, her mouth was blistered, and her throat and eyes were so swollen that she couldn't speak.

It's not that she is greedy for power and hopes that her husband will become a dragon, but she has been married to the Cao family for 30 years, and she knows that the first thing in her husband's heart is not fame and fortune, nor is it his parents, wife and children, but loyalty to the emperor.

When he returned to the capital, Li took her husband behind her back and asked her son carefully. When she knew that she was burdened by the house slaves and was impeached by the imperial history, she lost her official position, and she was idle at home, and she was wronged for her husband.

She thought about it again and again, but she couldn't help it, and found out the wishful thinking given by the Queen Mother.

Didn't the old lady say that she would make decisions for her? Now that the emperor has been deceived and wronged her husband, can she use this wishful thinking to change justice?

However, since the holy order has been made, will you not know what to do if you ask for Ruyi again?

Li hesitated, but finally couldn't make up his mind, so someone called Chu Yu to discuss the matter with her.

Chu Yu was taken aback when she heard that her mother-in-law had the idea of using Ruyi, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Madam, I can't help it!" Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace. Although Huang Ma Fa ruled the country with 'benevolence and filial piety', state affairs are not the same family affairs. Although this wishful thinking has the love of the Queen Mother, it is not easy to take it out. ”

"The lord has the court and the emperor in his heart." Li sighed and said, "For a few nights in a row, the master can't sleep well. has been loyal to the emperor all his life, and now like this, how can the lord feel good? ”

"Maybe it's also the love of Huang Marfa, and the old man has also reached the age of Jiazi, and he has a chronic illness." Chu Yu couldn't talk about it, so he could only persuade softly.

Li shook his head and said, "In the early years, when the old man was busy, I looked forward to the old man recuperating and not worrying about these national affairs. Now looking at the old man's forced smile, where does it seem that he can recuperate with peace of mind? Daughter-in-law, although I know that the Queen Mother loves me, I should also know some measure, not an inch. But this wishful thinking, can't it really be used once? Maybe the emperor was just deceived by the imperial history and misunderstood the master, so it's good to make it clear. ”

The affairs of the court are not a playhouse. Although Chu Yu didn't know the real reason for her father-in-law's resignation, she also knew that things would not be as simple as her mother-in-law thought: "Mrs., can you not use this wishful thinking, or don't use it." There is no precedent in our dynasty, although it is said that it is the queen mother's love, but if it is really taken out to summon it, this is also really appalling......"

Li was still confused, so he saw Cao Yin pick up the curtain and come in, glanced at the Ruyi in Li's hand, and said, "The daughter-in-law is right, Mrs. still put away Ruyi, don't think nonsense." ”

Chu Yu saw her father-in-law come in and hurriedly got up from her seat. Cao Yin waved his hand at her and said, "Hao'er has come back from the yamen, daughter-in-law go back and take a look." ”

Chu Yu answered, Li was broken by her husband, and said, "Master......"

*Sycamore Garden, upper room.

After Cao Hao finished changing clothes, he took a long breath and said after hearing Chu Yu mention Ruyi's matter, "Fortunately, you stopped me, how could my wife have this unbelievable mind." The wishful decoration is supreme decency; If you really use it, it will be a double-edged sword, and the root cause of the disaster will ......"

* Front yard, guest rooms.

Qi Niang sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, holding her chin, still calculating where her father had traveled, and when Wei Hei and Vanilla would come back.

At this time, I could hear the person on the bed crying "wow".

Qi Niang was startled, hurriedly got up and went over, and helped Wang Ying and said, "Sister Xiaoying, Sister Xiaoying, is this another nightmare?" ”

Wang Ying sat up, covered her face with her hands, and cried.

When Qi Niang heard this, she couldn't bear it, patted her on the back and said, "It's okay, sister, isn't this awake?" It's okay. ”

Wang Ying hugged Qi Niang, but her crying became more and more poignant, and her tears rubbed Qi Niang's body.

Qi Niang was afraid that she would cry badly, so she whispered and persuaded: "If my sister cries again, she will become a rabbit's eye, and she will lose it." ”

"The Imperial Mausoleum, the thief hole of the Imperial Mausoleum, I led someone to dig it......" Wang Ying showed a look of despair on her face, and muttered: "My father and brothers were killed by me......"
