Regarding the "pie" falling from the sky, Cao Hao was not interested in it at all. This was secretly worked hard by a few princes, and a few old Shangshu fought back and forth to be missing on their heads, isn't this equivalent to their own "tiger mouth"?

Even if it is a "pie" that is "taken", it may be filled with stones, and it is eating with teeth.

In addition, he is a little strange, although it is said to be a flag bearer, but it can only be said that it is a Manchurian flag person, the identity of the Han people has not changed, if it is to fill the vacancy, it is also to make up for the lack of Han officials, why is it that Kangxi has now ordered the shortage of full staff to fall on his head? In the heart of this emperor, hasn't he always been quite wary of Han officials? Could it be that his kindness to the Cao family really made him lose the manchu mustard in his heart?

No matter what he thinks, after the March 15th National Congress, after Kangxi Chrysostom Yuyan's hand-picking, Cao Hao appointed the Taifu Siqing.

Don't think it's a promotion, this "commission" is a "temporary replacement" to implement the rhetoric in words. Just because of these two words, Cao Hao's grade has not been raised.

It can be said that Cao Hao, the forehead of Heshuo, "commissioned" the Taifu Siqing, wearing a one-grade supplement; It can also be said that the Sipin Daotai "commissioned" Taifu Siqing, which is still unchanged from the original grade.

Whether Cao Hao wants to or not, since the dispersal of the dynasty, he will not stop for a moment.

According to the rules, even if he is an official who is "commissioned", he must first go through some miscellaneous procedures with the ministry, and then take up his post with the official document issued by the ministry. Now, I can't do that.

After Kangxi retreated from the court, he thought that these princes and officials were also stuffy in the house, and they came out of the archery hall in twos and threes.

Everyone looked at Cao Hao with different looks, some smiling, some gloating, and some not yin.

At the door of the Arrow Hall, although the Eighth Elder Brother and the Ninth Elder Brother both smiled and went to say hello to the Seventh Elder Brother, their eyes were a little cold when they looked at Cao Hao.

The fourth elder brother opposed the appointment of Cao Hao because of the party, although he did not go to the recommendation of the seventh elder brother, but for the sake of his heart, it was inevitable that he would come forward to explain a few words to the seventh elder brother.

Cao Hao wanted to take the time to talk to his father-in-law to see what advice he had, and he would never think of recommending him to take over the Taifu Temple for no reason. But when he was in the hall, the seventh elder brother was surrounded by the princes and talked, and it was not easy for him to come forward.

As a result, as soon as he came out of the arrow hall, before he could reach the seventh elder brother, he was surrounded by the subordinate officials of the Taifu Temple.

"The elephant horse has been trained, and Lord Cao is invited to Nanyuan for acceptance." One of them said.

"The chariot used for the Longevity Festival, the car is in Changchun Garden, and the Xihua Gate is prepared for ......" another humane.

"The queen mother's guard of honor and the concubine's guard of honor have been set up at the gate of the second palace, and your lord ......"

Cao Hao only felt that his brain was "buzzing", and his head was big, so he dispersed the court, why did they find it? Looking at their tops, they are all officials below the fourth grade, and they are all outside the hall.

It seems that someone told them. He looked into the crowd, where Iduli and an official in a four-rank costume were looking at him.

Seeing Cao Hao looking over, Yi Duli smiled and beckoned the official to step forward. The other subordinates stepped aside to make way for the two adults.

Cao Hao smiled at Yi Duli with some apologies, he really had no intention of doing this job, but after all, it was cutting off Yi Duli's promotion path. If he has a grudge in his heart, it is also human nature. There are a lot of people now, it's hard to mention these, and when there is no one at the meeting, it is better to talk to him, so as not to damage Su Yue's friendship because of this official shortage. In that case, wouldn't it be difficult for Cao Song and his brother to enter Beijing and be caught in the middle?

Yi Du stepped forward, greeted each other with Cao Hao, and then introduced the one next to Cao Hao: "Lord Cao, this is Lord Tang Zhiyu, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple!" ”

is different from Yiduli's Hang'er Langdang, Tang Zhiyu is in his forties, and he looks a little serious and quite official. Although he was not tall and had a thin face, he stood there with his chest held out, and it was impossible to be taken lightly.

Everyone saw it, Cao Hao looked around, and the other officials were almost scattered, only some officials of the Ministry of Rites were also talking about the next ceremony.

Han Qing and Lu Jingyuan of Taifu Temple were nowhere to be seen, and Cao Hao was a little confused.

Looking at the anxious appearance of these subordinate officials, it seems that everything wants this servant Siqing to make a final decision. I just took over for a while, and I didn't even have the procedures for "commissioning", Lu Jingyuan, as a colleague senior, didn't leave any pointers, so I left directly?

Outside Changchun Garden, Lu Jingyuan's face was gloomy, and he muttered: "Huangkou Xiaoer, Huangkou Xiaoer, the minister of the country!" ”

The old butler who came to wait for him to get into the carriage didn't know why the old man was annoyed, so he carefully asked someone to bring the carriage over and helped Lu Jingyuan to get into the car.

Lu Jingyuan got into the carriage, heard someone outside shouting "Dongting", snorted coldly, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.

Not far away, Cao Yin stood there, Li Xu and Sun Wenqi were two, smiling and overjoyed.

Cao Yin smiled bitterly: "He can't afford such a heavy responsibility, where is this a happy event?" ”

Sun Wenqi only regarded him as humble and said, "What does my cousin say about this? Although Fu Ruo is only a weak champion year, he has been on an errand for several years, and taking this opportunity to return to the capital is also good for the future future. ”

Li Xu also smiled and said: "Master Sun is right, Dongting, we have been outside for a lifetime, and now that these cousins have returned to Beijing, it can be regarded as the end of everyone's heart." ”

Li Xu's eldest son married the daughter of the Sun family, and the three families were related to each other and knew each other when they were in Jiangnan.

Although Cao Hao was tripped in the garden by the subordinate officials of Taifu Temple and was not in front of him, Li Xu and Sun Wenqi still wanted Cao Yin to invite him to eat and drink.

Although Cao Yin was not in the mood, it was rare that the three of them were free today, so he was not disappointed and nodded in response.

Among the three, Sun Wenqi was slightly younger, and he did not come by car, but on horseback. Cao Yin and Li Xu both got into the carriage, and the three of them returned to the city with their entourage slaves.

*Xicheng, Caofu, Lanyuan.

Chu Yu changed her outfit and sent Wu'er to her mother-in-law.

These things were originally sent to the palace over there, and they were brought to the palace of Chunjun a few days ago. Because Brother Hongxin came to pick up the small things brought by Shandong, and looked like it very much, Chu Yu asked someone to prepare another one and send it to the Chunjun Mansion yesterday. Among them, there is also the intention of finding out the news of Hongshu and Hongzhuo brothers.

After all, Hongshu asked Chu Yu to help him lie to the palace, and when he came to pick up Hongxin that night, the two of them didn't enter the mansion, so Chu Yu was naturally a little relieved.

Unexpectedly, the next day he got the news that King Chun Fujin was sick.

Chu Yu didn't know what happened to the two brothers, and he was worried about King Chun Fujin, but he also couldn't worry about his biological mother. Therefore, she told her mother-in-law that she would go back to the palace today.

Because he went to visit the sick and couldn't take care of Wu'er, Chu Yu sent Wu'er to Li's side.

Li couldn't help but say a few words, and asked Amethyst to take the two old ginseng plants in the house, and asked Chu Yu to send them to King Chun Fujin. Although there is no shortage of this in the palace, it is a heart after all.

Chu Yu listened carefully, responded in a low voice, and then coaxed Wu'er to be here, and took Xiyun and Xicai back to Chunwang's mansion.

Last night, Chu Yu had already told the palace that he had already told the palace, but it was not Hongshu who came to pick it up, but the chief of the palace who brought someone to pick it up.

Chu Yu asked, knowing that Hongshu was ordered by the prince to stay in the study to "study", and knew that his younger brother was doing house-to-door law, but he didn't know what the reason was.

Although it is said that marrying and obeying her husband, these things of her mother's family are not something that a married daughter can worry about, but after all, she is her closest relative, why doesn't she worry about it?

When Chu Yu entered the second gate of King Chun's mansion, the Nala clan had already brought people to greet him.

Chu Yu saw that her mother looked fine, and she smiled faintly, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. It seems that Hongshu's "disaster" is not big, otherwise according to the surname of the La, he would have cried and red eyes.

Nara took his daughter's hand and said with a little disgust: "It's only been a few days, why do you want to come back?" In the end, there is a mother-in-law by her side, and there is no reason to run to her mother's house! ”

Chu Yu said: "I heard that Fujin is sick, my daughter is not at ease, come back and take a look." Eniang, Fujin she ......"

Hearing this, the Nara clan frowned slightly, and said to Chu Yu: "Fujin had a wind yesterday and had a headache, and Hongshu's daughter-in-law is serving medicine over there." When she comes back, you can go over there! ”

Chu Yu responded, and followed the Nara clan to the courtyard of the Nara clan first.

When he entered the house and sent the maid and the maid down, Nara couldn't hold back any longer, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled, and said, "Chu Yu, you didn't see how ugly her face was the night before, so she couldn't bear her breath!" ”

"Eniang, what did Hongshu think? How can you be angry with Fujin? Chu Yu was puzzled.

When Nala heard this, his face showed a hint of mockery, and he said: "It's not all her good niece's trouble, she wants to stuff people around Hongshu, and look at what kind of face she has in the future?" ”

Chu Yu was confused, but he also vaguely understood that it had something to do with Qiaofu and their sisters, and asked, "Eniang, it's ...... cousin?"

Nara smiled: "Don't call your cousin anymore, you can change your words in the future!" The dignified duchess and the general's wife don't do it, stay in our mansion with a dead face, make a concubine for your younger brother, and see how she, who is an aunt, explains to the Jin family. ”

Chu Yu thought of his younger daughter-in-law Borzigit, who had just entered the door for four months, and didn't know why Eniang was happy, didn't she say last time that Hongshu would wait a year before accepting a concubine, why was this advanced again?

Seeing Chu Yu's confusion, Nala said with a smile: "It's not to be a concubine for Hongshu, it's not for Hongshu to be a concubine, it's not in line with her wishes!" is to be a concubine for Hongzhuo, otherwise how could she be so angry that her face turned green? It's not the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it's not even a serious side room, I want to give a name, and it's hard! ”

Chu Yu was very surprised, and he didn't know how such a change could happen. Qiaofu looked at sixteen or seventeen, two or three years older than Hongzhuo, and had given tea to Borzigit before, how could he get together with Hongzhuo again?

Nara said with a smile: "Hongshu doesn't want to have a dislike with his younger brother, I don't know why I made such a fuss, so I arranged for Qiaofu to go over and be with Hongzhuo." ”

Can't a family stop after a while? Now, although the mother is proud, the mother's side is not happy. It's okay to be sick now, but when you get better, who knows if you will hold more and more grudges. The more grudges accumulate, the more difficult it is to resolve the festivities.

For some reason, Chu Yu suddenly remembered Qiao Fulai. Although the mother didn't say anything else, but after these repetitions, the two brothers were able to reconcile as before, what about Qiaofu?

Chu Yu didn't answer her mother's words again, but said that she wanted to go and see Qiaofu.

Nara's face showed a hint of disgust, and he said, "Go and see what she does?" But whoever abides by the rules will not make such a moth! Now that he has ended up in this situation, he can be regarded as self-inflicted. ”

"E-niang, when will they do something, is it decided? When I look back, my daughter will prepare a congratulatory gift! Chu Yu said.

Nara picked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "I have to wait for her to get better, I'm afraid she won't dare to delay, or wait for her niece to open her face with a big belly, she will have to get sick again!" ”

Chu Yu sighed in his heart, took Nala's hand, and persuaded: "Eniang, it's not that my daughter is biased to help Fujin speak, after all, they are all a family, and they will have to live in the same mansion in the future." You have been fighting with Fujin for most of your life, and neither of you is happy, why don't you take a step back? Even Ama and his younger brothers are willing to be happy with their families! ”

Nala's face gradually stopped smiling, and he looked at Chu Yu, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

After a long while, Nara said faintly: "She has taken you for more than ten years, and she really treats you well, and it is reasonable for you to feel sorry for her." As he spoke, tears had already come out, and he said hatefully: "Is Eniang that troublesome? Since she entered the door, Eniang has been respectful everywhere, and there has never been the slightest rudeness. But because she didn't have a son, she tried every possible way to trample Eniang under her feet before she stopped. In the past two years, he has been caged by the Barda clan and wants to take the throne of the prince. If E-Niang takes a step back and lets her succeed, what will happen to your brothers? Do you want to leave the palace to Hongjing, be an idle clan, and move out of the palace?

Chu Yu didn't speak again, and the mother and daughter were silent for a long time.

When Borzigit came back, Chu Yu said a few words about King Chun's illness, and then got up and went to the courtyard over there. Nala originally wanted to follow, but hesitated, but stopped.

Chunwang Fujin wiped his forehead and leaned on the kang, looking a little haggard, but his spirit was okay, and when he saw Chu Yu coming in, a smile flowed out of his face, and he said, "Why did it alarm you again?" It's already a character who goes out, and he doesn't have such a surname! ”

This is said in much the same way as the Nara clan, and it is all about care and care.

Chu Yu couldn't help but reddened her eyes, stepped forward to sit on the side of the kang, and said, "E-niang should also be more relaxed, and take care of her body first." ”

Chunwang Fujin stretched out his hand and touched Chu Yu's face: "Eniang's little Nizi has grown up and become a baby mother, when you came to Eniang, it was not much bigger than Tianyou." This time, all these years have passed. E-niang is old! ”

Chu Yu hurriedly shook his head and said: "Look at what E-Niang said, E-Niang hasn't seen her old, she looks young!" ”

Chunwang Fujin said with a smile: "I actually said that I was a child, and my mother was a grandmother, and she was not old?" Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "E-Niang is also confused now, I really don't know, which of you and Wugege is E-Niang's own child." E-Niang lay down for two days, and she came to see it with Ergege, and left after a cutscene! ”

"Eniang, the fifth sister has not been talkative since she was a child, don't think about it." Chu Yu said with relief.

Chunwang Fujin shook his head and said, "She complained about Eniang in her heart, and she was troublesome, leaving Qiaofu and Qiaorong to make her lose face......"

* When Chu Yu returned to the palace to visit several Fu Jin, Cao Hao had already started his errand of "entrusting the Taifu Siqing".

He asked Tang Zhiyu to go to the city and inspect the chariots and cars on the side of Xihua Gate first; He and Yi Duli, with a few subordinate officials of the Taifu Temple, went to the Nanyuan Racecourse.

Although it was noon, everyone was hungry, but after all, the errand was important, and it was not a few days before the ceremony, so it was not good to delay, and no one mentioned the matter of eating.

Changchun Garden is in the north of the capital, and Nanyuan Racecourse is near Fengtai Daying, and the two are nearly 50 miles apart. Everyone followed the official road, along the outer city, and quickly stepped up, and it took an hour and a half to reach Nanyuan.

The manager of the racecourse brought people to greet him, and everyone knew that there would be a new boss in the two days, but they didn't expect it to be such a young official. However, seeing that he was wearing a first-class costume, everyone did not dare to slack off, and very respectfully told the situation of the elephant horse training here, and asked the adults to go and accept it.

According to the rules, before this kind of ceremony, the emperor's chariot and the elephant horses required for the chariot must be trained 100 days in advance. This time, too, began on the seventh day of the first lunar month, and it has been nearly 100 days so far.

The people went to the racecourse, and after walking a short time, they heard the sound of elephants. Cao Hao followed the voice and looked, good guy, in the southeast corner of the racecourse, in a clearing surrounded by wooden fences, more than a dozen elephants walked around under the instructions of the elephant trainer.
