Chapter 892: Flanking Attack
Outside Changchun Garden, Qingxi Book House.
Looking at the impeachment excerpt of the imperial history, Kangxi's face was a little unsightly. This is the third impeachment excerpt handed to the Imperial Court in half a month.
The target of impeachment was Nian Qianyao, the governor of Sichuan, who was in Beijing.
The first excerpt, the impeachment of Nian Qianyao for exceeding the ceremony, seeing that the nobles did not avoid the way, they were arrogant and went straight; The last two excerpts are the impeachment of Nian Qianyao, who traveled with a large number of followers, shouting and disturbing the people on the street.
This year, Tang Yao was born in a family, and both generations of father and son have been feudal officials, and Kangxi was originally very important.
But in this excerpt, Cao Hao's name appeared, and Kangxi was a little unhappy.
The second-class uncle of the Cao family is not so much rewarded by Kangxi to Cao Yin, but rather by Cao Hao, just to elevate his identity and make him stand up and speak in the capital.
Kangxi still remembers clearly that when Cao Hao first went to the capital, the reason why he was bullied by the Eight Banners was because of his humble background and inconspicuous background.
Cao Hao married the county lord, attacked the earl, and was a high-powered household servant, and his identity has long been different.
Not to mention that Nian Qianyao is only a second-grade governor, that is, he is a cabinet and worships the prime minister, and he is promoted to a first-class university scholar.
Nian Qianyao was arrogant in Sichuan, which was to show the prestige of the imperial court and deter the locality; In the capital, I got a little carried away and laughed at people.
If it were someone else, Kangxi would not be so annoyed.
When it comes to Cao Hao, Kangxi is a little uncomfortable. Cao Hao was a little uncompromising, lacking the motivation of young people, Kangxi couldn't see him relaxed, and often knocked and beat.
His own kinetic energy reprimand does not mean that he can allow others to "bully" Cao Hao. Especially now, when Cao Yin's brothers have died one after another, and Cao Hao is young, he supports the family portal.
And this "bullying" Cao Hao is still Nian Qianyao, who he has always valued and wants to promote recently, what is this called.
He snorted coldly and slammed the fold onto the table.
On the side of the kang, there is a small table, and the four treasures of the study room are placed on several cases, and Zhang Tingyu, a cabinet bachelor and secretary of the ministry, sits after a few cases.
Zhang Tingyu lowered his head, grabbed a pen in his hand, and copied the note.
Kangxi's sound of breaking and snorting coldly all fell in his ears. He was trembling in his heart, and his mind was racing rapidly, thinking about what was going on inside and outside the court, which made the emperor angry, but he couldn't find a clue for a while.
At this time, I heard Kangxi raise his voice: "Zhang Tingyu! ”
When Zhang Tingyu heard this, he hurriedly got up and responded: "The minister is here!" ”
"The edict of the Governor of Sichuan, Nian Qianyao, who is also in charge of the affairs of the Governor of Shaanxi, has been redrafted." Kangxi pondered for a moment and commanded.
"Commandment." Zhang Tingyu bowed down, and then after sitting down on a few cases again, he picked up the pen and waited for Kangxi's dictation.
"Change the reason to acting, and then order him to impeach, and defend himself!" Kangxi's voice was cold, dissatisfied, and overflowing.
When Zhang Tingyu heard this, he was inexplicably relieved.
As long as it doesn't involve the prince's reinstatement, finally after the Wanshou Festival, the emperor was gracious and released the scholar Wang Luo, if something happens again, this old man is afraid that he will not be able to die well.
No matter what outsiders think, Zhang Tingyu, as an authentic disciple of Confucius and Mencius, still admires the style of this old man in his heart.
Nian Qianyao recently said that he was rampant in the capital, Zhang Tingyu had already heard about it, and he was quite unimpressed. Just as in the same year, Qianyao couldn't get used to Cao Hao, and Zhang Tingyu couldn't get used to Nian Qianyao in his heart.
He is seven years older than Nian Qianyao, and they are all children of official eunuchs, but they are the same year, and they are all Jinshi in the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi. However, the gold content of Nian Qianyao, a jinshi, has always been criticized.
Nian Qianyao was a person in the 38th year of Kangxi, and ranked 34th in the Shuntianfu Township Examination.
After the list was released, there were examinees who unveiled the post, opening the [***] case of the year's science field. According to rumors, Nian Qianyao's father, who was the governor of Huguang at the time, gave the examiner 10,000 taels.
In that year, the Shuntianfu Township Test ended with a retest. Nian Qianyao was still on the list in the end, and the sensational "Kechang [***] case" was finally closed with "the jealousy and wrongful accusation of the first scholar".
Zhang Tingyu was also a test-taker back then, so he naturally knew some insiders. The court's statement that the case was closed in order to save face is not credible.
Then, the two were elected as Shu Jishi, and three years later, the first official award was reviewed by the Hanlin Academy.
A few years later, Nian Qianyao became a cabinet bachelor and was released as the governor of Sichuan, becoming the youngest feudal official in the current dynasty, and he was in the limelight for a while.
Zhang Tingyu, but he has been in the Zhinan study for many years, step by step, until a few years ago, he was promoted to the cabinet bachelor's position.
Nian Qianyao couldn't get used to seeing Cao Hao jump to a high position at a young age, but he didn't want many people to look at him young and unpleasant.
In the eyes of Han officials like Zhang Tingyu, the reason why Nian Qianyao was a feudal official when he was established was not because he had any outstanding talents, but because of his identity in the banner, he was fortunate to advance.
Since it is fortunate to be entered, the emperor's grace, you should be obedient and be a slave, such a swagger, what is not the ambition of a villain?
However, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, Zhang Tingyu has been on an errand for many years, and he has already practiced the ability to be immobile like a mountain. With a flick of his wrist, he had already drawn up a will.
When he wrote about his fate, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he was curious about what kind of face Nian Qianyao would look like when he read this edict...... * The northwest corner of Andingmen, the garden alley.
This is the Nian Mansion, which is the mansion built by the father of Nian Qianyao. It is the courtyard of Sijin, where the brothers Nian Xiyao and Nian Qianyao lived when they were in Beijing.
Zhaizi West Road is the former residence of Nian Qianyao in his early years, and now his eldest son Nian Xi of Jiangsu, Zhejiang Province and Yushi Xi lives here.
In the study, Nian Xi looked at his father and said with a little shame: "It's all because the son is not good, and the father's reputation is damaged." ”
It turned out that the two imperial historians who impeached Nian Qianyao one after another were colleagues of the Nian Xi Inspectorate. One of them was also the most powerful contender in the imperial history of Jiangsu, Zhejiang Province earlier.
That imperial historian, who has been in the Inspectorate for more than ten years, is definitely qualified to be promoted to the imperial history of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province according to his resume. It's just that he was born in a poor family, there is no backstage, and in the end, Nian Xi was born, which accounted for the lack of imperial history in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Although Nian Xi knows that there is no wind and no waves, if there is no arrogance of his father, he will not attract the attention of Yushi, but "the son does not say anything about the father", he can only reflect on himself.
Through this incident, it also made him wake up.
This is just a small imperial history with no background and no power, and if you hold a grudge in your heart, you can bite people and take revenge; On the Jiangsu-Zhejiang side, all forces in the DPRK and China are involved.
He wants to make a good imperial history, is it to win glory for the family, or to bury trouble for the family?
Nian Qianyao saw that his son was faintly a little haggard, and frowned: "It's a mediocre talent if you don't be envied, but it's just a few clowns who jump off the beam, shouting indiscriminately, don't take it to heart." These words, seeing that you have lost weight again, what did the imperial doctor say? Don't be too dire, if you are so thoughtful, don't do this imperial history. ”
When Nian Xi heard this, he remembered the three ruyi of the Cao family, and said: "Father, the emperor has always been kind to the Cao family. Although Cao Hao is nothing, it still depends on the face of King Pingjun in the end......"
Nian Qianyao didn't wait for him to finish, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, it's really verbose...... In the future, at home, I don't mention these useless things, if they reach the ears of the old lady, the old lady will think crankily again......"
* Goldfish Alley, Thirteen Elder Brothers' Mansion.
This year, the list of entourage outside the plug has come down, and ten princes accompanied him, which is the largest number of princes in the past. However, the thirteenth elder brother was not among these ten people, but stayed in the capital with the fifth elder brother, the twelfth elder brother, and the seventeenth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother got the news, and he was afraid that the thirteenth elder brother would be sad, so he made a special trip to visit.
The thirteenth elder brother didn't care, and said: "Fourth brother, whether it is in front of Huang Ama or staying in the capital, he is doing his filial piety for Huang Ama and doing his best for the country." Besides, others are afraid of the scorching heat in the capital, but the younger brother is the opposite, he can endure the heat and can't stand the cold. The wind outside the plug is hard, and the emperor Ama kept me in Beijing, maybe it was because he felt sorry for me. ”
He was talking about his rheumatism, and the fourth elder brother saw that he was in good spirits and had no unhappiness, so he was relieved.
Thinking about it again, these few people left in the capital are not capable princes. The thirteenth elder brother is among them, and he can be regarded as a leader in handling government affairs, and it is also a good thing to take the opportunity to be more familiar with government affairs.
Thirteen remembered the rumors that Nian Qianyao was swaggering in the capital recently, and complained to the fourth elder brother: "Fourth brother, in the early years, I looked at Nian Qianyao and knew etiquette, why did he become a feudal official for more than ten years, but he didn't understand the rules?" Speaking of kilometers, Cao Hao is a super uncle, and his identity is not one or two points higher than him; In private, he is the fourth brother's doorman, and Cao Hao is the fourth brother's niece and son-in-law, and he is half of his master. Today, he wants Cao Hao to avoid the way, is it that when I see him, I have to avoid him too? ”
When the fourth elder brother heard about this, he was also inexplicably upset.
Nian Qianyao's arrogance, the fourth elder brother knows better than outsiders. Now there is an impeachment of the imperial history, although although there is certainly a reason why Nian Xi offended people, it is also because Nian Qianyao was not respectful enough to hand over the pigtails to others.
partial, the fourth elder brother can't say a word, and he has to be coaxed.
"I think it's because he has some prejudices against Cao Hao, and in front of others, he doesn't have anything wrong...... A few days ago, I also deliberately said that I asked him to look at your face and leave some leeway for Cao Hao...... "The thirteenth elder brother and Nian Qianyao are both people that the fourth elder brother values very much, and the fourth elder brother does not want the thirteenth elder brother to have a dislike in the same year, so he said."
It's okay not to listen to this, but after hearing this, the thirteenth elder brother muttered even more in his heart.
With contempt, let Cao Hao avoid the way, this is to give him the thirteenth elder brother "face"? Such a "face" is really heart-wrenching, and it is better not to give it.
It's just that he also heard that the fourth elder brother's words were full of maintenance, thinking that Nian Qianyao was the fourth elder brother's inner relative, and Nian's family was favored in Prince Yong's mansion, and his status was second only to Chang Fujin, so the thirteenth elder brother didn't say anything more, and turned the topic to the matter of the holy car about to leave Beijing...... * There are two and three of them, and after this "chance encounter" three times, Cao Hao put Nian Qianyao's affairs aside, waiting to see the excitement.
After all, he is not a decoration, and all kinds of chores are also cumbersome. In addition, the sixteenth elder brother has revealed the news, and he is on this year's entourage list, and this family must also be properly placed outside the house.
Fortunately, Xiao Wu has to study for half a year under the auspices of the Ministry of Officials, so that he will not immediately fill the vacancy and leave Beijing, so the affairs of the two governments can be entrusted to Xiao Wu.
Within a few days, there was a commotion in the imperial history, and Nian Qianyao's "domineering" became a well-known thing.
It's no surprise that things have come to this point. Because there was already Brother Jiu by his side, he was eyeing him, waiting to catch Nian Qianyao's handle.
In his early years, Nian Qianyao was a wall-to-wall grass, and he tried his best to drill in front of the eighth elder brother, until the second abolished prince, the eighth elder brother was reprimanded and lost his sacred heart, and Nian Qianyao began to be a good slave in Prince Yong's mansion.
In the eyes of the ninth elder brother, Nian Qianyao is the villain who turns his back on the eighth elder brother.
Not to mention, now that the fourteenth elder brother is in the Northwest Army, he is under the control of Nian Qianyao, and the two have been in constant friction in recent years.
However, Cao Hao also knew that these small fights would only add some disgust to Nian Qianyao, and they would not hurt his muscles and bones.
He had already gotten the news, and he knew that Nian Qianyao was going to take care of the governor of Shaanxi, and he also knew that the newly appointed governor of Sichuan was the former servant of the Ministry of Officials, Sertu, who was impeached and removed from office by the Fourteenth Elder Brother two years ago.
The current governor of Shaanxi, Ehai, was transferred out of the governor's position to assist in the food and salary of the Northwest Army, and on the surface, it seemed that he was arranging a heart-to-heart help for the fourteenth elder brother, but in fact, Ehai, who was good friends with the fourteenth elder brother, was transferred out of the place.
In the eyes of outsiders, the "Great General King", who is most "favored" by the emperor, is feared to this extent.
Judging from these, the so-called rumors that Kangxi intended to spread the fourteenth elder brother in later generations were mostly fabricated.
The heart of the gentleman is unpredictable, and there is no one more than Si.
The arrogant fourteenth elder brother and the arrogant young general, their pride is promoted by the emperor, and they are all fueled by the emperor's grace. When he is promoted to almost the point where he can no longer be grateful, he will be rejected by the emperor.
I'm afraid that Kangxi didn't expect that the war in the northwest would drag on for so many years.
If the fourteenth elder brother really gains power in the army, then if he can't get the throne in the future, he will become a disaster for the imperial court.
The rise and fall of these people, honor and disgrace, Cao Hao will not take it to heart. With Hu out of Beijing, Cao Hao's grade can bring his family.
Other officials who can bring their families, even if their wives are responsible for housework and it is inconvenient to accompany them, there are also concubines or people in the house to wait. It's like combing your hair and making a bed, it's always hard for a little guy to take care of it.
Cao Hao has been married for 12 years, and only Chu Yu has one wife.
In the early years, Amethyst was good in fashion, and Chu Yu was able to travel with her husband; Now that Amethyst has passed away, she has to wait for her mother-in-law, take care of her children, and take care of housework in the middle, how can Chu Yu take a break?
The Cao family has another courtyard in Rehe, and there are also maids and subordinates among them. But Chu Yu is not familiar with her, how can she rest assured that they will wait for their husbands?
After thinking about it, Chu Yu still picked out two duties from the maids of the "music" generation in Wutong Garden, followed the two-room family, took the first step, and went to Rehe Courtyard to prepare.
In the past few years, her maids have been married one after another, and the maids who came in later were all named after "music".
Regarding his wife's arrangement, Cao Hao was noncommittal.
In his early years, without a maid in front of him, Xiaoman would also comb his braids.
Now there is another courtyard over there, and there are a lot of people, so there is no need to bother so much. But his wife arranged it carefully, so Cao Hao was not verbose and did as she wanted...... Seeing that the holy driver was about to leave Beijing, and got Nian Qianyao to "act" the affairs of the governor of Shaanxi, Cao Hao couldn't help laughing three times.
The difference between the words "acting" and "concurrently" is the meaning of "temporary appointment" and "temporary replacement", while the latter is officially in charge of the governor's seal.
If the name is not right, it is not good, and Nian Qianyao can only be more arrogant in order to clean up and obey the officials up and down Shaanxi.
The name of "King of the Northwest" should start to "lay the foundation" at this time...... Within half a day of Cao Hao's good mood, he heard a terrifying news, the seventh elder brother fell from his horse......
