Chapter 925: Chasing the Seal
Cao Hao's surrogate mother thanked for the excerpt, and handed it over for more than half a month, but there was no reply.
Although Li was resolute, she was afraid of the emperor in the end, and she was afraid that she would cause trouble to her children because of herself, so she did not urge her son to hurry up and think of returning things.
Anyway, she made up her mind not to touch any of those possessions.
Even externally, she no longer socializes, and in the name of worshipping the Buddha, she does not go out.
The people outside can ignore it, but there is still a father-in-law Tian in the house.
Chu Yu listened to her husband's instructions and asked someone to clean up a small courtyard in the northwest corner of the mansion and settle it for Father-in-law Tian and the two little eunuchs. The two little grandparents are called "grandfathers", and they are the apprentices and grandsons of Tian Gonggong, one is called Xiao Linzi and the other is called Xiao Anzi.
Li can't justifiably regard herself as a nobleman, but her resistance to the royal family does not reduce her respect for the Queen Mother.
It's strange to say that the number of times she has met the Queen Mother can be counted with one slap. Because the Queen Mother does not know Chinese, communication is very limited, but the Queen Mother's kindness is undisguised.
For this reason, the Li family was also very polite to Father-in-law Tian.
Listening to Gonggong Tian talking about the affairs of the Queen Mother during her lifetime, as well as the Queen Mother's thoughts about Horqin, the Li family was also suddenly. What would Concubine Hui, who was also born in Horqin as the Queen Mother, look like if she had never left the court?
Although there were many people outside staring at the Cao family, seeing that the Li family was closed, Cao Hao did his errands as usual, and sometimes lost interest.
After all, those who can find out the identity of the Li family are all powerful families, and no matter how these people think in their hearts, they will not declare it.
Ordinary eunuchs, the most concerned thing at the moment is the draft.
After the holy car returns to Beijing, the Eight Banners draft can kick off.
Although the Cao family did not have a daughter selected, because the fourth sister and fifth son were getting older, they didn't catch up this time, and three years later, one fifteen and one fourteen were just candidates.
Even Cao Hao has to worry about the draft, who will let him take on the position of world manager. What makes him happy is that he, a banner man, is a retail household, in addition to the Cao family, there are four main surnames, although they are all Manchurians, but the background is relatively simple, and they are not connected with those prominent Manchurian noble surnames.
Cao Hao, the assistant leader, the general consul of civil affairs, has the household registration of every household in his hands.
There are two families with only daughters, and according to the rules, the only daughter can be exempted from the election, but they must be reported to the consulate's office, and then the assistant leader must report to the commander's office to confirm and verify.
There are also two families that have to report the filial piety of their parents, which must be registered and postponed for the next election.
There is also a family that has been reported to be sick. Cao Hao was going to work with the people in the command office to take the doctor to this house to diagnose the candidate show girl.
There are all kinds of things, and I have been tossing seriously for half a month.
In the blink of an eye, at the end of September, the holy driver returned to Beijing.
Every year on the first day of October, there is a big pilgrimage meeting, and this year is no exception.
The holy driver was still in Changchun Garden, and Cao Hao could only get up in the early morning according to the usual practice, and rushed out of the city from Xizhimen at Chouzheng (two o'clock in the morning).
His carriage looked flat from the outside, but it was comfortable and tight inside. In addition, from Changchun Garden to Xizhimen, there are official roads paved with bluestone slabs, so Cao Hao squinted in the carriage.
Because it was a big court meeting, the Beijing officials above the seventh rank came.
Cao Hao looked at the pocket watch, pinched the time, and didn't get out of the car in a hurry, but only recuperated in the carriage.
Today's big court meeting is just a passing scene, promulgating next year's calendar, sending officials to pay tribute to the mausoleum or something. What Cao Hao was thinking about in his heart was what he should do, whether he needed to hand over a sign or something.
After thinking about it for a while, he still decided to "brake with static".
At this time, I listened to Xiaoman's movement outside the carriage: "Lord Yi......"
Cao Hao opened his eyes and heard someone outside the car curtain: "Your grandfather is in the carriage?" ”
It was Yiduli's movement, Cao Hao didn't wait for Xiaoman to answer, he opened the curtain and wanted to get off the carriage.
This is the open space outside Changchun Garden, and there are many horse-drawn carriages nearby. Yi Duli waved his hand to prevent him from getting out of the carriage, and bowed down and got into the carriage himself.
The carriage is spacious, and it is not crowded for two people.
This is the first time that the two have met since Yi Duli returned to Beijing with Hu.
Yi Duli lowered his voice and said, "Fu Ruo, on the way back to Luan from Rehe, the royal front is very lively. The reason is that the name of Concubine Hui Niangniang, the Ministry of Rites intends to be 'Huai' and 'Ping', but the emperor wants to choose one of the two from 'Yuan' and 'Zheng'. ”
Since ancient times, this nickname has been divided into good, peaceful, and evil.
The first three queens of Kangxi were called "Empress Xiaocheng", "Empress Xiaozhao", and "Empress Xiaoyi", all of which were beautiful.
This concubine Hui did not enter the palace before her death, and she was posthumously crowned as the queen, and she was already wanton by the emperor.
It seems that several officials in the Ministry of Rites still cherish their reputations and can't do anything to flatter the Lord.
Kangxi planned to be too much, the "yuan" and "zheng" were okay to the minister, but the concubine was meant to be right.
Even if Concubine Hui is posthumously crowned as the queen, her name must be listed after the other three, how can she take on the word "yuan" or "positive".
"Did the quarrel come to an end?" Hearing this, Cao Hao frowned and asked.
Regarding Kangxi's farce of chasing the seal, he has been a little disgusted from the initial pity. If Kangxi Zhengang is often arbitrary and posthumously crowns Concubine Hui as "Empress Xiaoyuan" and "Empress Xiaozheng", then what will the other three queens' families think.
Even if the Hesheri clan is in decline now, the Tong family and the Niu Hulu clan cannot be said to be in power, and they are also one of the best families in the capital.
Cao Hao is the most troublesome person, he can't avoid it, and he wants to be implicated by Kangxi for life, so it's strange that he can be happy.
"I heard that the two scholars knelt down and admonished a lot, so that the emperor did not give an order. However, now that the Holy Driver has arrived in Beijing, what this nickname is, it should be almost decided. Iduli whispered back.
Since Cao Hao left the Holy Driving Garrison with five hundred escorts, all kinds of rumors have spread in the garrison.
Yi Duli's heart has long been like a kitten scratching, full of curiosity. He had the heart to ask Cao Hao, but it involved the Li family here, and it was disrespectful, so he swallowed the words that came to his mouth again.
At this time, the dawn broke in the east, and the sky became white.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Cao Hao got out of the carriage with Yi Duli, followed the civil and military officials, and entered the garden together, outside the gate of the second palace, waiting for Kangxi to come to the court.
One time less, the prince of the clan and Baylor also lined up, and the sixteenth elder brother was among them.
Cao Hao had the heart to ask him a few words, but it was not cheap for many people to be miscellaneous, so he had to wait until after the court meeting, and then called the sixteenth elder brother and went to a secluded place to talk.
"Huang Ama is a little too much, even if he remembers Concubine Hui, those two words can be used at will? Fu Ruo rest assured, a few scholars and officials of the Ministry of Rites are in front of him, and Huang Ama will always understand. If Huang Ama really allowed these two words, those scholars would be ridiculed by the world as courtiers. The sixteenth elder brother was not worried, and said to Cao Hao: "When I started to hear Huang Ama put forward those two words, I also panicked, but in the past seven or eight days on the road, even if Huang Ama is impulsive, he should calm down." ”
Listening to the sixteenth elder brother say this, Cao Hao can be considered at ease.
If you don't cherish it when you're alive, what's the use of this grief after death? But it is to seek peace of mind for oneself, but to provoke the purity of others.
"What do you say about the third master and the fourth master?" Cao Hao asked.
"I didn't say anything, even if the third brother was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, as a son of man, there was no room to speak. However, looking at Huang Ama's meaning, he was angry with him because the Ministry of Rites drafted two plain words, and he had a seizure. On the fourth brother's side, his face is not good, he has a deep relationship with Xiaoyi's mother and son, and he is afraid that he doesn't want Concubine Hui's nickname to be stronger than Xiaoyi's mother. The sixteenth elder brother replied.
Cao Hao listened and couldn't help touching his forehead.
This Kangxi wants to come out of one play, how is this called others?
In fact, the sixteenth elder brother thought badly.
The fourth elder brother was really in a bad mood because of this nickname, but he was not avenging his adoptive mother. He was one of the few people who knew about the secrets of the court back then, and he knew the true identity of the Yuyin of the Borzigit clan.
Compared with Yuyin's dignity, it is reasonable to give any nickname.
However, this "honor" cannot be declared. Although more than 50 years have passed, the insiders of the year have either been wiped out or have died of old age, but there are always clues left. The emperor's father's words with such fanfare must attract the attention of people with a heart.
There is a Li family, if you follow the Cao family and the Li family back to the source, you can see the tip of the iceberg. If you go to thoroughly investigate the three generations of the Horqin Palace, the truth will be vague.
If the truth is discovered by the world, then this unethical thing will not be attacked by the literati.
Back then, because of the queen mother's "marriage", many literati were killed, and how many books were banned. The fourth elder brother didn't want the emperor's face to be damaged, and he kept hesitating in his heart, if the emperor's father insisted on going his own way, would he be "loyal to his ears".
is the hesitation of the fourth elder brother, Cao Hao is anxious, on the third day of the first month of October, Concubine Hui's nickname finally came down, and since then the Kangxi Dynasty has had a fourth queen - "Queen Xiaoqi".
Kangxi drove back to the palace from Changchun Garden and went to the temple to announce the heavens and the earth.
The queen's mother's family was also rewarded.
A farce has finally come to an end.
Cao Hao thought that there was no record of this queen in the history books of later generations, and I wondered if the fourth elder brother made someone delete this history.
According to the rules, the history of the Kangxi Dynasty will not be sorted out and revised until after Kangxi dies and the fourth elder brother comes to power. Therefore, the so-called history cannot be trusted.
He didn't know that the fourth elder brother was thinking about it in his heart.
The aunt and nephew are rebellious, it is really a terrible scandal, as long as you think about it, it makes people's hearts uncomfortable.
Although in the past few months outside the Saiwai, the fourth elder brother has been ordered to entertain many Mongolian princes, but the third elder brother is the same, so the fourth elder brother is still not sure in his heart.
He felt as if the imperial father had chosen himself, and as if he wanted to choose one between him and the third elder brother.
If you talk about your background, the third elder brother has a "long" word; The fourth elder brother raised the middle palace and occupied the word "expensive", no matter who the two of them set up, they were justifiable.
Thinking like this, the fourth elder brother was a little panicked.
At this time, the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion ushered in a great event, and the Fang Fu Jin Nian clan gave birth to a little elder brother safely.
Although it is a baby in swaddling clothes, there are still many people who look sideways.
Although the third elder brother of the fourth elder brother's mansion is eighteen, the fourth elder brother has no intention of establishing a son. Nian's father and brother are noble, and this little brother may be the heir of Prince Yong's mansion......
