In October of the 48th year of Kangxi, Cao Hao, as a third-class guard of the Qianqing Palace, entered the study for the first time as a companion; In October of the 49th year of Kangxi, Cao Hao went out of the household department and was busy dealing with his bosses and colleagues; In October of the 50th year of Kangxi, Cao Hao had the heart to leave Beijing, and soon took the initiative to ask for a foreign appointment.

In October of the 51st year of Kangxi, Cao Hao served as a Taoist platform in Yizhou, guarding his son who was about to be full moon, and enjoying the joy of making Zhang; In October of the 52nd year of Kangxi, Cao Hao had already changed to a three-grade supplement and became one of the youngest officials in the Qing Dynasty.

It has been five and a half years since I entered Beijing in the blink of an eye, and it is the first day of the first month of October, and the constitutional calendar is promulgated.

Outside the noon gate, in the middle, there was already a yellow case set up by Qin Tianjian, and there was a case on the left and right sides of the imperial road. On the yellow case in the middle are two copies of the Kangxi 54th Constitution, which were given by Gong Jin to the emperor and the empress dowager. On the case to the left of the royal road is the Constitutional Book of the Times, which was given to the prince Baylor; The case on the right side of the Imperial Road is the Constitution of the Times, which was awarded to the hundred officials.

The letter of time on the Huang case was sent to Taihemen by the chief supervisor and deputy supervisor of Qintian. On the left side of Danqi, the supervisor and others knelt three times and deducted nine big bows. Then, he was taken over by the chief of ceremonies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and was sent to the Qianqing Gate and the Cining Gate.

The prince Baylor, civil and military officials, all wore court clothes and were outside the noon gate. With the "arrangement" of listening to the praise of Honglu Temple, the prince, the prince of the county, Beile, Beizi, and the prince of the clan stood on the royal road in order, and the civil and military officials were ranked according to their ranks.

With the arrival of Kangxi's royal drive, Honglu Temple continued to praise the "system", and everyone knelt down.

After the announcement was made, everyone knelt three times and bowed nine times. Then, the princes and hundreds of officials knelt down to receive the constitution according to this. From then on, the constitution of Kangxi will be promulgated in the 54th year of the world.

The imperial chair was set up under the Taihe Gate, and Kangxi sat on it with a solemn and solemn expression.

Although everyone did not delay, it would not take much effort to kneel down to receive a book, but it could not stand the large number of people. It took more than two hours to award this way.

After everyone received the constitution, they listened to the attendant take a few steps forward and raised the male duck and said: "There is a morning music, and there is no retreat!" ”

There was silence in the square, and Cao Hao glanced at the officials of the six departments, and there seemed to be nothing major in the capital recently. I really hope that if these old books are played, they can make a long story short.

This came out of the house at four o'clock in the morning, and stood in front of the Taihe Gate for nearly an hour, and more than two hours before and after the promulgation of the Constitution.

Before coming out, Chu Yu was afraid that he would be hungry, so he put a few small snacks in his purse. Cao Hao had already taken advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and ate them all, but it was useless.

Maybe everyone is hungry, but today's court meeting is very good.

First of all, the third elder brother stepped forward and played an excerpt related to the calendar, what is the height of the North Pole, what is the distance between the yellow and the red. Then Kangxi had an edict, and after living in Ningning, he measured the height of the North Pole and the distance between the yellow and the red of Changchun Garden, and reported it.

Kangxi's emphasis on astronomical science can also be regarded as a leader among the emperors of all dynasties. Cao Hao stood in the queue, looking at Shi Xian in his hand, thinking about the fifty-fourth year of Kangxi.

It's really a black eye, and I don't know at all. After all, he was not a historical researcher in his previous life, and he only knew the general situation of Qing history through novels and television.

Although he knew that there would be a rebellion on the Junggar side, it was in the fifty-seventh or eighth year of Kangxi. Although he knew this in his heart, Cao Hao couldn't stop the scourge of soldiers.

Not to mention that Cao Hao knew history, even those military officials who didn't know the direction of history also knew that Tsewang Alabutan over there was a restless one.

Even so, so what?

Thousands of miles away, where is it easy to send troops? Besides, we must always pay attention to "teachers are famous".

Nowadays, although Tsewang Alabutan is constantly making small moves, he is still obedient to the imperial court on the surface. If the imperial court easily sent troops to conscript, how could it appease the other Mongol tribes?

The most important thing is that the treasury is empty, and there is no money to send troops.

The three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and without silver, everything is empty talk.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao was a little puzzled. Where did the Tibetan rebellion in history come from? As far as is known, the state treasury has long been unable to make ends meet. It is also a continuous local famine, and Kangxi also wants to show "benevolence", and every year there are provinces to reduce money and grain.

Come to think of it, it is still the use of local finances. In the southern provinces, there were granaries of the imperial court. As early as the drought in Fujian and the high price of rice in Guangdong, grain was transferred from the granaries of Jiangnan and Huguang.

Thinking far, Cao Hao couldn't help but laugh at himself, money and food are the business of the household department, what does it matter to him, the servant Siqing?

After the third elder brother played, it was the criminal department to reply, the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, He Shou, and the governor of Jiangsu, Zhang Boxing, participated in the political envoy Mu Qinyuan's case of hiding the pirate henchman Zhang Lingtao. and interrogated Gu Xieyi, but there was no evidence; He also searched Mu Qinyuan's office, but there was no Zhang Lingtao. Zhang Lingtao's son Zhang Er was interrogated, saying that his father went to Huguang and Fujian, and should be sent to the governors of the two provinces to be sent for trial.

Hearing this, the hundred officials knew that the political situation in Jiangnan had changed again.

I don't know if it's the emperor's tricks or the power dumping, the chief officials in Jiangnan have rarely been on the right path in recent years.

In his early years, when Kali was the governor of Jiangnan, he had a staff member surnamed Zhang, who had a relationship with pirates along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang on behalf of Kali.

After the Kali case, the person was missing.

Later, when Zhang Boxing was looking through the local case files, he found that a neighbor had sued Zhang Lingtao for colluding with pirates. This Zhang Lingtao has the same name and surname as the fish caught in the Kali case that year.

After some investigation, there was also news about Zhang Lingtao's whereabouts, and it turned out that Mu Qinyuan, the political envoy in Jiangsu, was the guest of honor. Zhang Boxing asked Mu Qinyuan for this person, but Mu Qinyuan said that this person had already left the political envoy's yamen.

Then, because of this Zhang Lingtao, Zhang Boxing and Mu Qinyuan opened a lawsuit. One Taoist other party is deliberately defending, and there is a suspicion of collusion with pirates; A folder even shouted wronged, and carried out the Lao Tzu who died in battle.

The governor He Shou is a close confidant of Kangxi, but at this time, he was biased. The above statements are all unfavorable to Zhang Boxing, not only saying that Zhang Boxing's words are false, but also saying that Zhang Boxing has many people in and out of his entourage, and he is afraid that some of Kali's subordinates will avenge Kali, and they are too suspicious, leading to the impeachment of Mou Qinyuan, Yunyun.

In the end, although the case between Kali and Zhang Boxing was understood after Kali lost his official position, Zhang Boxing said that he was not having a good time. Not to mention the bad reputation, the court has not been less resigned.

It is difficult for a Qing official to do it, and through Zhang Boxing's experience, Cao Hao can be regarded as having some understanding.

If Kangxi's successor is not the vigorous Yongzheng, what will it look like?

Although he is the emperor of the family, he is beneficial to the country and the people, and he can be described as a Ming monarch.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao's fear of the fourth elder brother decreased a little, and he turned his head slightly sideways, and the fourth elder brother stood on the right hand of the third elder brother, bowing his head in a deferential manner.

Spin a few, scatter the court.

The princes and officials dispersed, and the officials of the Taifu Temple also returned to the yamen.

In October, the government fell earlier than before. After dealing with some official documents and meeting a few officials for instructions, Cao Hao almost stayed up until the time of the fall.

Today is the birthday of the thirteenth elder brother, and the birthday gift has already been sent over, and it will be in the past to join in the fun. Therefore, after the fall of the government, Cao Hao changed out of his official uniform and went to the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion with Yi Duli.

It's still a cold door, and outside the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion, there's nothing lively to see. After entering the gate, a few cars were parked in the courtyard, and it looked like the female dependents who had come here to congratulate them.

said that a few days ago, after Zhaojia's family and Cao Song's mother and son had a quarrel, Cao Song said that he was strong and strong, although he lost a little blood, but he gradually got better after raising it; Zhao Jia's is old in the end, and he is angry and frightened, and he is a little uncomfortable. Therefore, Chu Yu has been busy serving his illness for the past two days, and he has not come over today.

At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, when the seasons change, it is the time when the elderly are prone to diseases.

After the queen mother returned to Beijing, her body was a little unfavorable, and the prince's brothers went to Changchun Garden to ask for help, and only the fourth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother came to the thirteenth elder brother's mansion to celebrate the birthday of the thirteenth elder brother.

In addition to these three princes and elder brothers, most of the rest are relatives on the side of the Zhaojia clan. There is one person, although it is not the first time to climb the Thirteen Elder Brothers, but it can be regarded as a rare guest - that is the king of Pingjun, Nersu.

In his early years, Nersu was raised in the palace by Kangxi, and had several friendships with the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, two uncles who were not a few years old.

Since the "abolished prince" turmoil, when the thirteenth elder brother was implicated, Narsu did not change his attitude towards the thirteenth elder brother like other sophisticated people.

It's just that since the thirteenth elder brother Kangxi left the palace and opened the mansion in the fiftieth year, he has closed the door with resentment, and there are few people in the clan.

As the king of iron hats, Nersu is a person with a surname, and he is also a little arrogant. Even if he is too lazy to see outsiders here, he doesn't want to put a cold face on his side, so he comes less. Gradually, there are only some personal contacts left, and it is becoming more and more rare to see each other.

It was an accident that Nersu could come today.

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother wondered in their hearts, glanced at each other, and wondered if he was influenced by Cao Hao.

The fact that the thirteenth elder brother and Cao Hao had a life-saving grace gradually spread with Cao Hao's filial piety to the mansion here over the years.

Although the thirteenth elder brother was also a little surprised, he was a free and easy person. Even though Nersu seemed to be casual, the Thirteenth Elder Brother didn't take it seriously, and his words seemed to be the same as in the past, no different.

One is called "Uncle Thirteen", and the other is called by his name, and when it comes to the political situation in the northwest, the two are quite interested.

The fourth elder brother sat on one side, holding a tea cup, and tasted the new tea here one by one.

Although Cao Hao sent these mansions to the small tea garden, only the thirteenth elder brother and the tea maker were the most concerned, so people found the best master. Therefore, the tea here is really the best of the best.

At the entrance of this new tea, thinking about the deficit of the household, the fourth elder brother couldn't help but think of Cao Hao.

Many people outside falsely rumored that the Cao family's deficit was made up by withholding two salt taxes.

The fourth elder brother has been working as an errand in the household department for many years, but he knows the details, at least half of the silver that is still in deficit is obtained by the Cao family from the tea garden, and the other half is the pearl field on the side of Taihu Lake.

The Cao family paid off the deficit and immediately handed over the tea garden, without greed and selfish desires. Cao Yin and Cao Hao's father and son are usually people who do things with their heads bored, which is very much to the appetite of the fourth elder brother.

It's just that with Cao Hao's ability when he was young, it was a waste to stay in Taifu Temple. If it's in the household department, maybe it can make a big difference. Thinking of this, the fourth elder brother put down the teacup and thought in his heart.

At this time, a housekeeper came to report that it was the Taifu Temple Qing Cao Hao and Shaoqing Yi Duli who came. When the thirteenth elder brother heard this, he hurriedly sent the housekeeper to lead the two here.

Seeing that Nersu was here, Cao Hao was also a little surprised.

The big men in the room, after greetings, talked about each other. It's just that everyone's identities are different, and there is the fourth elder brother who has always been cold-faced, so it's not too casual, and it's a little cold.

The sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother couldn't help but secretly glance at the fourth elder brother a few times, it's winter, isn't the household errand busy? In previous years, when the fourth elder brother came here, he mostly left after taking a photo, why didn't he mean to move his feet today?

Cao Hao didn't pay attention to the fourth elder brother, and he was a little lucky to see that Nersu and the thirteenth elder brother were talking and laughing freely and speculatively.

As long as you don't get involved with the unlucky fourteenth elder brother, and you have a better relationship with the thirteenth elder brother, the Pingjun Wangfu can avoid the reef in the last years of Kangxi, right?

Although there is no troupe here, and there are not many guests, the prepared table is exquisite. Especially the dumpling table, which is the seventeenth elder brother who has never liked sweets, also praised it a few times.

Needless to say, the rest of the delicacies from the mountains and seas.

The seventeenth elder brother stretched out his chopsticks, and he didn't know where to put the chopsticks.

In fact, the ordinary house here is just ordinary chicken, duck and fish, and it is not so extravagant. It's just that today, catching up with his own life, and the seafood purchased from the Yizhou Tea Garden arrived, so the thirteenth elder brother specially prepared this first-class table.

The gluttonous feast is naturally Cao Hao's filial piety.

After using the wine and food, the sky was dark, and everyone came out of the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion. Before the fourth elder brother got on the horse, he said to Cao Hao: "The Buddha in front of the fifteenth day of the first month is good, but it is not good to take you for nothing, but this silver money is not avoidable, I will send it directly to the shop cabinet......"
