In a blink of an eye, it was the "first seven" of the eighth elder brother.

The number of people who came to the door to pay tribute increased one after another, and many female dependents also came. The Beatitudes are the strongest, so that people can help them up, entertain all the virgins, and don't want their husbands' funerals to be too cold.

Although the eighth elder brother has memorized words in the past two years, no one dares to get too close and take on the charge of "forming a party". But the prince is the prince, and the clan has to be filial piety; Among the courtiers, most of them have to go through the motions.

"The first seven" is exactly what everyone is talking about.

No matter how good or bad the relationship is, you must always come out and take a picture. Among them, there is someone everyone didn't expect, that is, the thirteenth elder brother who has been closed for several years.

The thirteenth elder brother wore a filial piety dress and hat, and in the consternation of everyone, he put incense in front of the eighth elder brother's spirit, toasted wine, and went to Bafujin and said: "Eighth sister-in-law, please mourn." ”

Bafujin was surprised, forgot to return the word, and when he woke up, the thirteenth elder brother had already turned around and went out.

The ninth elder brother was still gloomy, looking at the back of the thirteenth elder brother, and there was no squeak. On the tenth elder brother's side, he couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Why is he here?" ”

The fourteenth elder brother was beside him, his eyes rolled and he chased out.

"Brother Thirteen, since you are here, you will leave later, how long have we not seen each other?" The fourteenth elder brother said with a little kindness.

The thirteenth elder brother shook his head and said, "It's also busy here today, so let's change it." ”

Seeing his faint expression, the fourteenth elder brother felt a little uncomfortable, and forced a smile and said, "Well, then the younger brother went over to ask the thirteenth brother for peace." ”

"As long as you don't dislike my side for being cold." The thirteenth elder brother said casually.

He is the same as the fourteenth elder brother, and the age difference is only two years. In addition, the thirteenth elder brother was also raised by Concubine De when he was a child, so he originally played with the fourteenth elder brother until he grew up. It's just that when he grew up, the fourteenth elder brother was attached to the eighth elder brother, and the thirteenth elder brother was close to the fourth elder brother.

Watching the carriage that the thirteenth elder brother was riding in gradually move away, the fourteenth elder brother also restrained the smile on his face. Although it is not like the eldest brother and the second elder brother who have been closed the door, the thirteenth elder brother has been silent for many years, and he rarely shows up in front of people.

Now, what is it to come here? Do you show brotherly affection?

Thinking of the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother's eyebrows at him, the fourteenth elder brother's heart was full of remorse. If you knew this, even if you were pretending, you should have made two more trips.

However, it is undeniable that when he heard that the eighth elder brother was killed, the fourteenth elder brother was also a little happy. If the eighth elder brother doesn't die, he will be uneasy in his heart, and he is always afraid of what will happen.

Eighth Brother died, and after he was happy, he also began to feel a little anxious. How to resolve the grievances of the ninth elder brother, and the brothers "work together" again? He pondered this question for two days.

* Yusen, Imperial Palace.

Cao Hao knelt behind several princes and Shangshu, and followed everyone to greet him.

According to the rules, when the younger generation dies, the elders must also dress the younger generation with filial piety, which is called "anti-filial piety". However, the rules are rules, some only mean it at the funeral, and some are not convinced. The more respectful the relatives, the more so.

Just like Kangxi at this moment, he is wearing regular clothes, but the purse tied around his waist is not an ordinary gold silk embroidered dragon purse, but a plain blue purse.

After Kangxi called everyone to calm down, he asked a few words about the capital, and several princes and Shangshu answered one after another.

After everyone returned, Kangxi waved his hand and told everyone to "kneel down", leaving only the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother to talk.

As soon as Cao Hao went out, he saw the sixteenth elder brother waiting outside with a anxious face.

Looking at the sixteenth elder brother who had lost a circle, Cao Hao couldn't help but be a little worried, and asked, "Sixteenth master, what's wrong?" I didn't hear the news that the sixteenth master was sick. ”

The sixteenth elder brother touched his chin and said, "It's so obvious? ”

Cao Hao nodded and said, "The face is also dark when you look at it." ”

It's hard to talk about it outside, but the sixteenth elder brother summoned him to his residence, and only then did he tell him about his opium addiction in the past few months.

Cao Hao was shocked when he heard this.

He is most aware of the dangers of drugs, so he wants to do his best to do something for future generations. Telling Brother Sixteen about that is also to let him have this concept, so that he can be related to opium in the future and prevent the spread of opium in China.

Who would have thought that the sixteenth elder brother would test the poison out of curiosity.

"In the past few months, I have also been thinking about quitting opium, and I have persisted for seven days at most, but I can't hold on. At first, it was okay, I didn't smoke so diligently, and the addiction became even bigger in the past two months. Brother Sixteen said.

"If you want to quit drugs with perseverance, you have to be in a remote and uninhabited place, and you have to make people look better to be better." Cao Hao couldn't blame himself at the moment, his brain was running rapidly, thinking about the drug rehabilitation method he knew in his previous life: "If this doesn't work, you have to take medicine." ”

In his eagerness, Cao Hao felt that his brain was empty. He didn't practice medicine, so how could he know which drug was the best way to curb drug addiction. In addition, most of the people I came into contact with in my previous life were Western medicines, and I was very unfamiliar with Chinese medicine.

Seeing that Cao Hao was in a hurry, the sixteenth elder brother calmed down, smiled, and said, "What's the hurry?" Look, smoking opium is like smoking dry tobacco, but it's just a refreshment. Isn't smoking dry tobacco also addictive? Let's see if there is a recipe for quitting smoking in the pharmacy. If not, the master will find a place to cat for a month or two, and he will not have a chance to get this one, so he will quit if he does not quit. ”

What else can I do, everything I say now is in vain, and I have to wait until I enter Beijing.

The sixteenth elder brother looked at Cao Hao's top and asked, "I heard that these are the funerals of the prime minister on your starling brother's side, and the ninth brother didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

Mentioning this, Cao Hao shook his head and said, "No." I only do my best, and Brother Jiu is probably too sad and can't care about anything else. ”

"Okay, a typhoid fever, why is it gone?" The sixteenth elder brother sighed and said, "Who would have thought that he would end up like this. Speaking of which, starlings are also good at treating siblings. ”

The eighth elder brother acts as a person, but Cao Hao is not good at commenting.

Speaking of which, since he entered Beijing in the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, the limelight of the eighth elder brother is not as good as before. In addition, Cao Hao thinks he knows history, and regards Eighth Brother as an unlucky prince, and he can't wait to avoid it. Over the years, there have been few contacts; There is occasional friction, mostly because of the ninth elder brother, who directly has a grudge with the eighth elder brother, but there is none.

These words, in the garden of Baylor Mansion, Cao Hao saw a lot and heard a lot.

In the end, Eighth Brother is just a poor person. Even if there was a plan, it was Kangxi who threw out the bait and teased his sons to take the bait. The eldest brother who was imprisoned is like this, and the eighth elder brother is also like this.

The two of them were sighing, and the imperial attendant came over and brought Kangxi's oral message, passing on the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Hao to meet in front of the emperor.

In the palace, in addition to the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother who were left behind, the fifth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother were also there, as well as Yaerjianga and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Cao Yin was among them.

Kangxi sat on the kang, his face was deep, and he couldn't see joy or anger.

After Cao Hao saluted with the sixteenth elder brother, he retreated behind everyone.

It turns out that what is now talking about the aftermath of the eighth elder brother. On Kangxi's side, he has asked someone to draw up a will, posthumously crowning the eighth elder brother as the king of Doluo County, and the title is still the original word "Lian", and the Ministry of Rites has also drawn up a nickname.

The nickname drawn up by the Ministry of Rites here has the words "Hui", "An" and "Shun", please circle Kangxi.

Softness is admonished and said to be wise, good and indisputable to say peace, and kindness and obedience are said to be obedient. All three of them are compliments.

On Kangxi's side, he hesitated, picked up his pen, and personally drew a circle on the word "Shun".

Hearing that Kangxi's nickname for the eighth elder brother was "Shun", everyone in the hall had different thoughts. No matter what the relationship between Kangxi and Eighth Elder Brother is between father and son, at this time, he finally recognized the merits of Eighth Elder Brother.

For the matter of chasing the title of the prince of the county, not the prince, Cao Hao was not surprised. Because among the princes of the dynasty, there are only the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, and the fifth elder brother. If the eighth elder brother directly pursues the crown prince, the seventh elder brother who is named the king of the county will also be promoted.

Among the princes, only the tenth elder brother is born from a noble concubine, and his status is noble, and he is higher than the previous elder brothers when he is knighted, and the other princes and elder brothers are all lower than the lower the posterior the title.

After setting the name, Kangxi was not interested in speaking, and asked everyone to kneel again.

Cao Hao didn't talk to his father, but when he came out this time, he went to his father's side to say goodbye.

Cao Yin looked at his son, his face was a little more loving, and he asked a few words about family matters. Seeing that it is the longevity of the Queen Mother, plus the first day of October, the calendar is issued, and there are many errands in the Ministry of Rites. Cao Yin gave two orders, and then went to speak to a few officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Yi Duli heard that Cao Hao was here to greet him, so he also came here. Little farewell reunion, there is also a lot to say. It's just that the atmosphere in the palace is weird now, and the two of them are not good at making noise and laughing.

Seeing that Yi Duli's face was flushed and his spirit was very full, Cao Hao was also happy for him, and said, "This is practicing riding and archery on the grassland?" Adults look a lot stronger. ”

Yi Duli patted his chest and said with a little pride: "Although I didn't come out of the guards, I had some real kung fu when I was a teenager, but I was tired and lazy over the years." These men followed the siege, and I also caught several roe deer. ”

Hearing him mention this, Cao Hao thought of the vast grassland, and felt a little nostalgic.

After Yi Duli finished speaking, seeing that Cao Hao didn't squeak, he laughed twice and said, "Look at my arrogance, I can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest." Adults have followed the line, and I still said this? ”

Cao Hao said: "Listening to the adult's story, I also have a yearning heart. It would be nice if I could follow the Hu next year, and it would be nice to ride a horse and shoot hunting! ”

Yi Duli nodded vigorously and said, "That's it." ”

While the two were talking, they called someone to pass the word, but it was the fourth elder brother who asked Cao Hao to come over.

When Yi Duli heard this, he glanced at Cao Hao twice, and said, "My lord is really busy, I came here just now, saying that my lord was called by the sixteenth master, and this time it is the fourth master." ”

Cao Hao patted his head and said, "It's not because I was in Beijing a few days ago for the funeral, maybe the fourth master has something to say." ”

While speaking, he said goodbye to Yi Duli and followed the chamberlain to the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother sat at the table, looking at the two scrolls on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hearing someone outside tell him that Cao Hao had arrived, he raised his head and raised his voice, "Call him in." ”

I have to say that Cao Hao's mood has changed a lot, but his respect for the fourth elder brother is not a lot. When he was sleepless in the middle of the night, Cao Hao was also thinking about whether there would be any great changes in history, after all, the eighth elder brother had already died, and the pattern of Kowloon winning the heir had been broken.

However, after thinking about it, the fourth elder brother is still the most promising person among Kangxi's sons to inherit the throne.

"Huang Ama dictated, let you follow this king back to Beijing, pack up, and leave in half an hour." The fourth elder brother commanded quietly.

"Obey." Cao Hao leaned over and responded, and the corner of his eye swept to the two scrolls on the table, revealing Huang Aya, which should be a holy decree.

The fourth elder brother looked calm, and his heart was already turbulent.

Cao Hao responded here, and saw that the fourth elder brother had no other instructions, so he thought about retreating and preparing, but before he could speak, he heard the fourth elder brother ask: "Huang Ama ordered the king to go to the garden of the palace of Lianjun with you to pass the decree." As he spoke, he pointed to the scroll outside and said, "You can keep this." ”

Cao Hao responded, took two steps forward, and held the scroll.

The fourth elder brother glanced at Cao Hao with a complicated expression, opened his mouth to say something, hesitated, closed his mouth tightly, and waved his hand to signal Cao Hao to go out.

Seeing the fourth elder brother's reaction like this, Cao Hao also felt that something was wrong.

Retreating outside, seeing that there was no one around, Cao Hao opened the holy decree, which was the will to posthumously seal and give the nickname, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just now, when Kangxi left the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother alone to speak, Cao Hao also guessed whether what their father and son said was about moving spirits. With Brother Jiu's current heart and surname, if anyone goes to pass the decree and move the spirit, it is the enemy...... Thinking of this, Cao Hao looked at the holy decree in his hand, and what appeared in his mind was another volume of holy decree on the table. Since what he is doing is chasing the will of the seal, isn't what the fourth elder brother is in the hands of the spirit transfer will?

In this way, even if the eighth elder brother is gone, the grievances between the ninth elder brother and the fourth elder brother will not be resolved.

Worried all the way, Cao Hao rode on the horse, looked at the carriage of the fourth elder brother in front of him, and thought about Kangxi's imperial mental technique, which made people feel cold all over the body.

* Yusen, Imperial Palace.

With a little smile on his face, the third elder brother sat on the chair with his legs crossed, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea slowly, and praised the fifteenth elder brother: "Good tea, good tea, is it the winter tea of the small sixteenth garden?" ”

"Hmm." The fifteenth elder brother nodded and said, "If the third brother likes it, the younger brother still has a pack, so he will honor the third brother, and the younger brother doesn't love these things." ”

The fourth elder brother returned to Beijing to pass the decree, and the happiest one was the third elder brother. Thinking of Cao Hao, who returned to Beijing with the fourth elder brother, the third elder brother raised his eyebrows and said: "Speaking of which, this Cao Hao can also be regarded as affectionate, otherwise he would not have been filial to the thirteenth for saving his life back then." The fourth is also there. Speaking of which, the fifteenth brother and the sixteenth brother are both cousins of Cao Hao, but this tea garden Zhuangzi only sent the sixteenth brother, not the fifteenth brother, perhaps he was unintentional. ”

The fifteenth elder brother grew up in the palace when he was a child, what have you never heard? For such a naked provocation, I only feel strange, I have seen others become more and more sophisticated over the years, but the third elder brother is becoming more and more unbearable.

Isn't it a whole book and a stupid person, otherwise how could he be so self-righteous and play such a clever trick?

Although he looked down on the third elder brother in his heart, the fifteenth elder brother still followed the words of the third elder brother with a little anger on his face, and said: "Yes, he is the eldest son and grandson of the earl's palace, I am the unknighted prince of the concubine, and I don't have a holy family like the sixteenth brother, so it is not a ...... to look down on me."
