Cao Hao didn't deliberately investigate, but at noon, he still heard the news of Shang Buhe.

The holy driver returned to Changchun Garden, except for the sixteenth elder brother, the other princes and elder brothers continued to stay in Nanyuan and participate in the siege.

Kangxi is about to be seventy years old, and he came to Nanyuan for half a month to entertain the Khalkha kings, and he has been extremely honored.

His return to Changchun Garden this time did not cause much fluctuation among the Mongolian princes. Because the great lama was not as good as Kangxi, he was only stationed in Nanyuan for two days, and then returned to Beijing to settle in the Yellow Temple.

The other Manchu and Han courtiers who were ordered to participate in the siege heard the news, and there was nothing different. Everyone knows that there was a heavy snow yesterday, and the weather was even colder after the snow, and the emperor's dragon body was noble, and he couldn't stand the bitter cold of the camp.

Only Cao Hao, when he heard the news, was drinking tea.

Surprised, he almost dropped his glass.

Only he knows that Kangxi's death will be at the end of sixty-one years, and next year will be the first year of Yongzheng.

Cao Hao stood up, and his heart was turbulent.

He paced and went, but could only wait.

The second-class uncle, the second-class household squire, is regarded as a high-ranking official in the eyes of foreign officials, and it is nothing in the place where the powerful in the capital gather.

Long Keduo has the ability to blockade Jiumen and control the political situation in Gyeonggi after Kangxi's death.

Cao Hao never doubted this.

This Nine Gate Admiral is a common name, not only to control the guards of the Nine Gates, but also to be the chief officer of the Yamen of the infantry army. This infantry army is under the control of the Yamen, under the jurisdiction of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners Infantry Army, and at the same time controls the three battalions of patrol and capture in the north, south and central, both the green battalion horse infantry.

In addition to the inner city, the south city and the north of the city, where Changchun Garden is located, are all places for patrol camps to defend.

Gyeonggi troops, Long Keduo mastered one-third.

If there are courtiers in the capital who can turn the clouds and rain, only Long Keduo can do it alone.

Yongzheng has been on the throne for three years, and only Garnlongkodo does not dare to reduce his rights at all, in addition to taking care of him, but also using him to deter the clan and the Eight Banners magnates.

Looking at these words, Long Keduo is already extremely spoiled by Li Si'er.

And this Li Si'er, judging by his past actions, is by no means a good person. If she really hated the Cao family because of the Cao family's refusal to marry, it would be a big trouble for the Cao family.

Even Yongzheng has to be an "uncle" and be respectful, how can the Cao family be able to contend with it.

Cao Hao stroked his forehead, hoping that Yongzheng would come to power and end the drama of winning the heir, so that the court situation could be calmer. Who would have thought that this was coming, and ran out of Li Si'er again, making the Cao family a villain.

But there is no room for maneuver, no matter what the daughter of the Tong family is, just because the Tong family is prosperous and declining, the Cao family cannot marry her.

Isn't this Li Si'er a daughter-in-law in Xiao Xiangjian's Mansion? It seems that it is good to get the trouble to the east. A few days later, Chu Yu's birthday, whether to let her say a word to Wanyan.

Although this is suspicious of provoking, it is not a gentleman who can avoid villains.

Cao Hao was thinking wildly, and saw someone pick up the curtain and come in, it was the seventeenth elder brother who was panting.

Seeing Cao Hao's uncertain expression, the seventeenth elder brother said: "Fu Ruo, have you come down from the reward of the Li Fan Academy?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Hao glanced in the direction of the desk, and said with a wry smile: "Not yet." Sun Shangshu has already signed, but he didn't see the fourth master yesterday, so the excerpt was not handed to the emperor. ”

When the seventeenth elder brother heard this, he frowned and said, "How good is this, it is time to start scattering silver tomorrow?" ”

Cao Hao's heart moved, and he said, "Seventeenth master, why don't you go down to find the fourth master now?" ”

Seventeenth Elder Brother's eyes flashed slightly, then he nodded and said, "That's right, what's the use of being in a hurry?" Let's go find him. ”

Cao Hao walked to the desk, took the fold of the money asked by the Lifan Academy, and went out of the tent with the seventeenth elder brother.

The seventeenth elder brother's footsteps were very fast, and Cao Hao hurried to catch up with him. His face was devoid of the eagerness of Fang Cai, and his brows were furrowed, with a bit of solemnity.

This feeling is a little strange.

Cao Hao's feet were fast, and his mind was turning sharply.

The seventeenth elder brother is looking for himself, not like for silver, but more like looking for the fourth elder brother to find an excuse.

These princes are worried about Kangxi's dragon body, and they are afraid that they are also uneasy.

But it was empty, and the fourth elder brother was not in the tent.

The seventeenth elder brother showed a little eagerness and asked the eunuch who was on duty in the tent.

This eunuch's name is Chen Fu, and he is a servant of Prince Yong's palace, although his status in the palace is not as good as that of Su Peisheng, the head of the palace, but he has often waited by the side of the fourth elder brother in the past two years.

It's just that he is not very old, and his qualifications are not as old as Su Peisheng, so he does not have Su Peisheng's arrogance, and he treats the seventeenth elder brother and Cao Hao quite respectfully: "Seventeenth master, the slave maid is still the same sentence, the slave and the maid really don't know." After our master sent the saint out of Nanyuan, he came back, only sat for a while, and then went out, where to go, the master did not leave a word. ”

Cao Hao was listening, a little strange.

The seventeenth elder brother has already come to the fourth elder brother's tent? So what do you mean by coming here again?

"I'm in a hurry to find your master!" The seventeenth elder brother sat down, looked like an equal person, and said angrily: "Now that you see the kung fu of the next dinner, your master can't stop eating, right?" ”

Chen Fu didn't dare to say anything, so he had to ask the little eunuch to make tea.

He really didn't know where the fourth elder brother went, but as a minion, it was not good for the seventeenth elder brother to wait for a prince. If there is something urgent to delay, how can he afford it?

But he can't make people go out and look for flies without a head, he is a little embarrassed, and he doesn't know what to do for a while.

Because of his errands, Cao Hao has been to the fourth elder brother's tent a few times, and he is quite familiar with this Chen Fu. Seeing that he seemed to be embarrassed, he explained on the side: "There is a household excerpt related to the Li Fan Yuan, and he has to wait for the fourth master to review it and hand it to the emperor." I should have waited yesterday, but I was negligent. ”

Chen Fu listened, it was just a matter of the household yamen, so he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gratefully at Cao Hao.

At this time, the seventeenth elder brother's mood was also more stable, and he said to Cao Hao: "I have already said hello to Fu Ruo, but Fu Ruo has dragged it out until today, doesn't this make people anxious?" ”

There was a bit of complaint in his tone, and his gaze at Cao Hao was still as usual.

Cao Hao nodded yes, but he understood in his heart that the words of the seventeenth elder brother were like Chen Fu's explanation.

It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.

This eunuch is disabled, and there are few able-bodied surnames, and there are many insidious and vicious people. The seventeenth elder brother has been banned in the palace for a long time, and he knows that he can't easily offend them.

Chen Fu is often by the side of the fourth elder brother, but he is not infected with the stereotype of the fourth elder brother, but is a person with a clear mind and a clever surname.

Seeing that the seventeenth elder brother suppressed the anger, he glanced at the table clock standing next to the bookcase, and then personally served the tea, sent it to the seventeenth elder brother, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the seventeenth master is almost before (two o'clock in the afternoon), and our master should almost come back for dinner." ”

The seventeenth elder brother nodded and said, "Are your masters still fasting?" ”

Chen Fu nodded and said, "Since I came to Nanyuan, our master has always been a vegetarian. Our lord is merciful, he can't kill the living, this hunting is a matter of killing, and our lord will sing a sutra for an hour sooner or later. ”

When Cao Hao heard this, his heart twitched.

The fourth elder brother believes in Buddhism, but what he does is the thing of the angry King Kong, which is really not related to "compassion".

The seventeenth elder brother listened, but he was quite interesting, and said to Cao Hao: "That is, the fourth brother, can be so pious." If it were me, if I didn't eat meat for three days, the Five Organs Temple would be reversed......"

As he spoke, he heard footsteps outside the tent, and the seventeenth elder brother couldn't help but stop talking and looked at the door of the tent.

The one who came in with the curtain was the fourth elder brother with a straight face.

The seventeenth elder brother and Cao Hao both got up to salute, and the fourth elder brother was slightly stunned when he saw them in the tent, and then his eyes swept over the faces of the two.

"You ...... Find me ......" The fourth elder brother nodded in return, returned to the main seat, and the guest and host sat down, and then asked in a deep voice.

There are seventeen elder brothers, and Cao Hao is not in a hurry to answer.

The seventeenth elder brother got up and said, "Fourth brother, it's a matter of rewarding silver after the Khalkha hunting!" Ming'er is about to use it, and the household department has not yet invited the silver down. ”

When the fourth elder brother heard this, he looked at Cao Hao: "You came to look for me yesterday, just for this matter?" ”

Cao Hao got up and said, "Back to the fourth master's words, exactly." It's just that the fourth master is not there, so he will go back. I should have come to ask the fourth master to show me again last night, but it was a negligent duty. As he spoke, he took out the fold and sent it to the fourth elder brother with both hands.

The fourth elder brother looked at him and took the fold, and his originally rigid face instantly softened a little. However, in an instant, it returned to the old ways, which made Cao Hao suspect that he was wrong.

Even if he had seen it yesterday and sent it to the emperor this morning, it would be useless.

The emperor's dragon body is uncertain...... Before the imperial father left Nanyuan, he only saw the sixteenth elder brother and the imperial doctor, and did not summon others.

The fourth elder brother was a little uneasy in his heart, and he gave birth to those imperial doctors, and went directly to Changchun Garden with the holy car. The sixteenth elder brother only showed his face, and in front of everyone's eyes, there were others, so it was difficult to say anything.

Just when they looked at each other, Brother Sixteen's lips moved quickly.

For? Wei? Woof? Dangerous?

The fourth elder brother was shocked, for fear that he would be mistaken, and stared straight at the sixteenth elder brother.

The sixteenth elder brother had quite scruples, and did not dare to make any more moves, so he rode out of the enclosure from the saint...... It wasn't until Fang Cai that the fourth elder brother got the news of preparation.

The holy driver passed on the imperial doctor before breakfast, but did not pass on the breakfast, and then the holy driver left Beijing at noon, but in addition to entering the imperial medicine, the imperial tent did not pass on lunch.

Even if you are very sick, you always need to eat; If you don't even get a meal, it's not just that you're very sick, but you're afraid you won't be able to get into the rice water.

Thinking of this, where can the fourth elder brother still sit still, and directly seek out the news from Long Keduo.

Long Keduo didn't have a quasi-letter there, and the two of them were hesitant, but they didn't dare to act rashly.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to the tent, Cao Hao sent an excerpt.

Since this money is so urgent, it is reasonable for him to go to Changchun Garden to ask His Majesty for a meeting.

The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows, just spoke, and swallowed back.

How did he forget that Huang Ama was the most suspicious when he was old, if the old man was not seriously ill as he imagined, and he was charged with "spying on the disease" and "ill-intentioned", wouldn't it be wrong?

After decades of caution, the more critical it is, the more calm it becomes.

"Since it is the Imperial Court and other urgent needs, please ask Lord Cao to go to the front of the palace and ask the emperor to show it." The fourth elder brother thought clearly, handed the fold back to Cao Hao, and said.

Cao Hao took the fold, a little hesitant.

This dragon body is uncertain, and it has not been long since he walked from the Nanyuan camp. At this time, if Cao Hao goes to Changchun Garden quickly, he may be able to catch up with the holy car before he arrives at Changchun Garden.

Just, that's it. Is it disturbing the "purity" of the holy car?

At this time, if you get up, you will get into trouble.

"Fourth master, tomorrow is going to use silver, and the household branch is a little in a hurry, or let the seventeenth master borrow money from the internal affairs government first, and then make up for it when the household silver arrives?" Cao Hao said to the fourth elder brother very sincerely, and he didn't look at the seventeenth elder brother a few times during the period, and there was a bit of pleading in his eyes.

The fourth elder brother waved his hand, and his attitude was very resolute: "Tomorrow, I will go around in the morning, feast and drink in the evening, and there is still a day and a half of hard work, there is no need to pull the Internal Affairs Office in!" ”

He said resolutely, if Cao Hao shirked again, he was afraid that he would offend people.

Cao Hao responded stubbornly, and after the fourth elder brother was named after the excerpt, he put away the excerpt and said goodbye to the fourth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother.

It wasn't until he left that the seventeenth elder brother showed a little anxiety on his face, looked at Chen Fu, and stopped talking.

The fourth elder brother was interested and sent Chen Fu down, and the seventeenth elder brother asked eagerly: "Fourth brother, how is Huang Ama?" I met Brother Sixteen in the morning. Thinking about it now, Brother Sixteen's face was very ugly at that time, and when he saw me and Hongli, he didn't even have the time to speak, so he hurried to the imperial tent. Hongli also saw Zhao Chang coming out of the tent of the sixteenth brother, and went to the temporary official office of the imperial doctor. ”

When the fourth elder brother heard this, his face became heavier and heavier.

Although he was suspicious, he would not suspect that the imperial chamberlain had married the sixteenth elder brother.

He can get along with the two little brothers, the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother, because the two of them have no capital to seize the heir, and they have never been involved in this major event.

Find the sixteenth elder brother first, and then pass on the imperial doctor, which can only show that the dragon body is so unpredictable that he can't even pass the imperial doctor in person...... If you can't eat, you can't pass on the imperial doctor, so it's not difficult to guess what the situation of the imperial father is.

The fox was suspicious for a while, and only at this moment could he get accurate news, the fourth elder brother felt that his brain was "buzzing", his breathing became more and more rapid, his limbs were wooden, and he couldn't move at all.

Seeing that he was wrong, the seventeenth elder brother turned pale with fright, and spoke in a trembling voice: "Fourth brother, what are you doing?" Fourth brother! ”

The seventeenth elder brother called a few times before the fourth elder brother woke up.

He sighed vigorously, raised his head, and said quietly: "Seventeenth brother, in order to prevent people's hearts from being turbulent, please be cautious!" ”

The seventeenth elder brother nodded and said, "The younger brother knows, except for the fourth brother, the younger brother didn't think to talk to others......

The fourth elder brother cares about chaos, but he is negligent, if Kangxi does not wake up, only the sixteenth elder brother, where will he have the courage to order the transfer.

That's right, at this moment, Kangxi has woken up.

It's just that his spirit is very insufficient, and he squints his eyes as if he is not sleeping.

Wei Zhu waited in Luan's car, holding his breath and concentrating, for some reason, he remembered the "great immortal" in the city.

For the emperor's "return date", the "Great Immortal" has already been calculated, but he saw that the eight characters were precious, and said that he did not dare to reveal the heavenly machine, but in fact, the heavenly machine has been revealed.

The emperor knew this, so he said those words to bury himself.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhu shuddered.

Ants still steal life, let alone people?

There is no mantra for martyrdom, even if the emperor is afraid of loneliness and has concubines in the harem, where does he need to be martyred as a eunuch?

The fourth elder brother promised to keep himself safe and old...... Thinking of this, Wei Zhu realized that he was in a panic and forgot to send a message to the fourth elder brother.

He drooped his head, and was looking for some opportunity to spread the word, so he heard Kangxi say: "Spread the word...... Bafujin and Hongwang Changchun Garden meet ......"
