On November 20, the new emperor ascended the throne.

Cao Hao Chouzheng (two o'clock in the morning) got up, and Yin Zheng (four o'clock in the morning) arrived at the square in front of the Qianqing Palace.

Entering the clan above the eighth grade, and the civil and military members above the second rank, they lined up with this.

Next, it is the performance of the fourth elder brother alone.

First of all, he was dressed in plain clothes, went to the front of Zi Palace, put on incense, and told him to be ordered by Emperor Daxing, and bowed three times and kowtowed. After receiving the order, he went to the east side hall, changed his dress, and led the princes and ministers in front of the queen mother of the palace and Yonghe.

The door of the Yonghe Hall was wide open, and the Queen Mother sat on the high position of the middle hall and received the new emperor's salute.

Although she had a cold face and didn't see joy, after all, she showed up in front of the prince and ministers and received the full gift of the new emperor, which disappointed everyone who originally wanted to see the excitement.

Only the thirteenth elder brother, who knew the details, stood in the prince's queue, worried.

Yesterday, he came over as a lobbyist.

Although he was reluctant to get involved in the entanglement between the new emperor and the queen mother, he had no other way.

As a son of man, threatening his own mother with the safety of his compatriots and siblings is already against "filial piety".

If it spreads, it will be a palace ban scandal.

Since it is a "scandal", it is natural that the less people know about it, the better.

Yesterday, he went straight to the Yonghe Palace, risking angering the Queen Mother, and sent all the people waiting around the Queen Mother.

He would never tell the fourth elder brother about the threat directly, but tactfully asked the queen mother to take care of the sibling relationship between the fourth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother. If their mother and son are not in harmony, if there is a disagreement between the new emperor and the fourteenth elder brother, who can come forward to resolve it?

The Queen Mother has been in and out of the harem for fifty years, and where can she still hear the sound of the thirteenth elder brother.

The fourteenth elder brother has a big wind and military merits, so he is afraid of his brother. The only one who can protect him is his biological mother.

The lights of the Yonghe Hall were lit up for a night.

This morning, the Queen Mother finally opened the palace door and appeared in the main hall of Yonghe Palace to accept the new emperor's bow.

Her lips pursed tightly, and her gaze at the fourth elder brother was a little cold.

Immediately, she looked away and looked at the prince of the clan.

The third elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the seventh elder brother, the ninth elder brother...... Sixteenth elder brother, seventeenth elder brother...... Even the youngest twenty-four elder brother is ...... But she didn't see the figure of her adopted son, the fifteenth elder brother, and she couldn't help frowning.

She is not a fool, these sons, those who can enter Yonghe Palace, except for the fourth elder brother and a few ministers of the king, only the four Fujin and the thirteenth Fujin, and no one else, of course she knows that her access here has been restricted.

She was full of surprise, but she couldn't have a seizure at this time, so she could only watch the fourth elder brother go away with the princes and ministers.

She thought about it carefully, only to find that not only did she say it today, but since the death of Emperor Daxing, the fifteenth elder brother has never shown up again. Even the Daxing Emperor and the new emperor did not show up on the throne, what is wrong?

Although it is not her own flesh and blood, the fifteenth elder brother has been raised by her side. For this adopted son, he is closer than the biological son of the fourth elder brother.

The words that the thirteenth elder brother said yesterday are still in her ears, and the queen mother feels a chill in her heart...... * In the Taihe Palace, the fourth elder brother ascended to the throne under the guidance of the ceremonial officer.

Because during the state funeral, except for the bells and drums, other musical instruments are only furnished.

Next, there is the tedious and long pilgrimage gift.

Then, it was the edict of amnesty to the world, and the year after the year was Yongzheng, and the next year was the first year of Yongzheng. Thirty articles of the edict were sung and sung by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Rao is exempt from announcing the congratulatory table, and it took more than two hours to come down with some etiquette.

Finally, it is to once again praise the great achievements of Emperor Daxing, as well as the matter of honoring Emperor Daxing and the Empress Dowager.

By the time the holy car was moved, the princes and hundreds of officials knelt down to send the holy car, and it was already past noon.

Cao Hao followed everyone out of the palace, and he was faintly happy in his heart.

Yongzheng ascended the throne, and the thirteenth elder brother was also named the prime minister and minister, and the general direction of history has not changed.

Regardless of the forbidden palace, the mother-son fight, or the brothers, in general, this succession of thrones is quite peaceful.

Because it is the great joy of the new emperor ascending the throne and the imperial universe, there is no need to sit in the yamen today. After coming out of the palace, Cao Hao returned home directly.

He had been out for most of the day, and he was already hungry.

When the meal came up, it was full of vegetarian dishes, and Cao Hao's appetite suddenly decreased a lot: "Ming said that people will fry some mushroom sauce, and they will be vegetarian all the time, and the mouth will be bland." ”

According to the rules, this courtier must stay for the twenty-seventh day of the Daxing Emperor.

If someone else were the emperor, Cao Hao would not be so obedient. He is the master of no meat, even if he is tired of eating big meat occasionally, poultry, eggs, fish and shrimp are indispensable.

However, thinking about Kangxi's "grace" to the Cao family, as well as the legendary Yongzheng Emperor's pervasive sticky rod, Cao Hao still decided to honestly eat twenty-seven days of fasting rice.

As soon as he finished using it, a maid came to report with a post, and the manager passed the word to the second door, and there was a visitor in the front yard.

Cao Hao rinsed his mouth, took the post and looked at it, it was Li Wei who came.

Cao Hao remembered what Li Wei said a few days ago that he was going to release the Taoist platform, and eighty percent of it was because of this.

He didn't delay, changed into a plain suit and went to the front yard to entertain guests.

Although Li Wei is now only a Zhengwu Langzhong, in just a few years, he will become a feudal official. Although Cao Hao has a knighthood, when the time comes, he may not be as decent as Li Wei.

He was afraid that Cao Yuan would treat people according to his grade, so he would have confessed a long time ago, and Li Wei came over and led him directly to the main hall.

Therefore, Li Wei was accompanied by Cao Yuan at the moment, eating tea in the main hall.

Regarding the courtesy of the Cao family, Li Wei had a concern and did not feel flattered. Speaking of which, he lived in Cao's Mansion a few years ago, whether it was the previous escape from prison or the later official recruitment, he relied on Cao Hao's help.

He came here today, but he came cheekily.

Thinking of the kindness of the Cao family in the past, he didn't repay it at all, and now he came to the door in a big way, Rao is Li Wei is rough person, and he was a little embarrassed.

It's just that time is pressing, and there is no one else in the capital to ask for, so he can only come to the door with a cheeky face.

Seeing Cao Hao coming, Li Wei stood up and arched his hand: "Master Cao! ”

Cao Hao took two quick steps, entered the hall, and said: "Here you are again, yesterday I mentioned you with Fei Fei, thinking that you will leave Beijing before the year, is there news?" ”

Li Wei nodded and said, "Zhili Yi preached, and he will take up his post after the year." ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he was a little surprised.

He also thought that the fourth elder brother valued Li Wei and would give him a critical truth, it was also a Dao platform, and the rights and influences were different due to different jurisdictions. Zhili Yi preached, which is considered a lack of leisure.

"Yamen in Baoding?" Cao Hao asked.

Li Wei replied: "Yes, it's not too far from Beijing. ”

Cao Hao remembered that Li Wei was going to supervise Jiangnan in the end, and presumably this idle Daotai was just an excess. and Li Wei's colleagues, Cao Hao also admired Li Wei's ability.

Although he didn't read much, Li Wei acted frankly, did his duty, and never greedy for money, which is especially valuable in officialdom.

This is also related to the wealth of the Li family, Li Weijia is a large landowner in Xuzhou, with 2,000 hectares of fertile land.

It's just that he is not a delicate surname, and there is an old lady above who controls the family's economy, so there is no pomp and circumstance in the capital. In the eyes of outsiders, he is just a rich man in the countryside.

Who would have thought that the family background of this "rich man" is no weaker than that of a first-class master in the capital.

Cao Hao also heard the Cheng family talk about it, and only then did he know the scenery of the Li family in Xuzhou. is the Cheng family, and the ancestor also married a daughter to the Li family.

Cao Hao didn't expect that Li Wei, who had a solid family, came to borrow money today.

"Fourth Master...... The emperor sent a message to me to take my family into Beijing. Our old lady is over the age of six, I'm a son, tired of her old man far away from the countryside, it's already unfilial, how can I wronged the old lady in life again? However, the capital is not easy to live in, and the southern city is mixed, so I am afraid that the old lady will be clean; Houses in the inner city, the price is high. I was in a hurry. If you want to buy a good house, you can't get down without a few thousand taels of silver. Over the years, although the hometown has sent silver to Beijing several times, Cao Ye knows that the human relations in this officialdom are the most fatal, where is there any leftover? Now in a hurry, I can only come to beg Cao Ye. After waiting for the year, he took the money from his hometown and returned it immediately. In the end, Li Wei was already ashamed.

Cao Hao was only slightly surprised, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, and said, "How big is it, it's worth being so embarrassed?" You're a rich man, I can't trust you? Since my aunt wants to enter Beijing, I have to find a proper place to live. Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Why don't you go to the Sixteenth Master tomorrow and take a look at the backlog of debts in the Bank of the Internal Affairs Department." There are all houses repaired by the eunuchs, and the layout is repaired, so I want to be more exquisite. ”

Li Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Yes, why didn't I think of the house of the Internal Affairs Office." I looked at a few places outside, but it was not too long vacant and dilapidated; It's just that the house is small and not spacious. I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs auctions a lot of houses at the end of each year, so there is also room for selection. ”

Cao Hao smiled: "Isn't it? This house is no better than others, and it is always necessary to find a suitable one, and spend a few more silver coins to make. ”

After speaking, Cao Hao asked the little servant to call Cao Yuan over and asked him to go to Chu Yu to get the silver ticket.

Li Wei wants to buy a mansion in the inner city, and a few thousand taels of silver may not be enough. He asked Cao Yuan to take the silver bill of 10,000 taels of silver from the Bank of the Internal Affairs Office and hand it to Li Wei. The silver tickets are one thousand taels each, for a total of ten.

When Li Wei saw it, he hurriedly said: "I don't need these, there are too many!" As he spoke, he counted out five and left them, and the rest was to be returned to Cao Hao.

Cao Hao said: "You still take it first, since the aunt is here, the sister-in-law, nephews, and nieces will also follow...... I heard that the eldest nephew is also in his teens, and he has not been married to his daughter-in-law for a few years, and the house is small, how can he live there, it is better to be more spacious......"

Li Wei is an open-minded person, and when he heard Cao Hao say this, he solemnly thanked him, and did not ramble anymore, and said: "Then I, Li Wei, have thanked Cao Ye, and asked Cao Ye to pass down the pen and paper!" ”

Although Cao Hao wanted to say generously and didn't need to make a written note, he was afraid that Li Wei would think too much, so he asked someone to bring a pen and paper.

It was Li Wei, who saw that Cao Hao's expression was faint after hearing him ask for paper and pencils, and he was a little embarrassed, and said: "Master Cao, please don't be careful, it's not that Li Wei's little family is troublesome." It's just that Li Wei is about to go to a foreign post, if there is a mistake, it is better to be safe in everything......"

Cao Hao listened to this, a little strange, not like he was going to be an official, how did he seem to be sent to death.

"And here you go...... Is there another will? Cao Hao lowered his voice and asked.

Li Wei glanced at him and said softly: "Don't hide it from Cao Ye, listen to the emperor's will, and let me arrest the thief......"

Cao Hao was stunned, this Zhili Su guards Gyeonggi, heavily guarded by the army, and is the most peaceful realm, how can there be a "thief arrest......
