The next time, the household department took shifts.

There are not many people who have heard of His Majesty in front of the Emperor, there are only three people, namely the fourth elder brother of the prince of the Zhangbu department, Shangshu Sun Zaqi, and Cao Hao, the squire.

The first to play was the fourth elder brother, or for the matter of Jingcang.

In addition to the need to repair the warehouse and add the warehouse, it is to investigate the problem of the deficit in the previous Beijing warehouse, recover the responsibility of the corresponding officials, and use their family property to make up for compensation, and submit it to the ministry for discussion.

This involves more than a dozen officials, all of whom have nothing to do with it, and they are all big rats in the official warehouse.

The so-called "ministerial discussion" is just to see how much money they pay for it, whether the background is hard or not, and then divided into three, six, and nine and so on. The unlucky became an outcast, and he couldn't run away from the dismissal and exile; Those who have a master and a son are only demoted or transferred.

On the surface, they are just petty officials, and those with the highest grades are only among the five grades, and most of them are still six or seventh; In fact, if they didn't rely on the important land in the capital, how could they dare to encroach on the country?

If you continue to investigate this, you may have to uncover the fig leaf. When the time comes, where will the face of the court be?

With Kangxi's ordinary surname, for the sake of the good reputation of "Mingjun", he would never allow the fourth elder brother to make such a big move.

I don't want to, but it's a bit abnormal today.

Kangxi listened to the fourth elder brother's performance, and spit out a "quasi".

Cao Hao was surprised, and couldn't help but secretly glance at Kangxi.

At first glance, I only felt that Kangxi's complexion was fine, with a ruddy complexion and a radiant complexion; If you pay close attention, you will see that there is fine sweat on his forehead, and there is something wrong with the flushing on his cheeks.

Cao Hao's heart tightened, and he retracted his gaze, and his heart was beating wildly with "poof" and "poof".

Three hundred years later, when the world talks about Kangxi's death and Yongzheng's accession to the throne, there are also different statements, and there is no accurate version. However, the places mentioned roughly are Changchun Garden.

Cao Hao never doubted this.

Because in recent years, when the holy driver was in Beijing, most of them were stationed in Changchun Garden, and the number of people in the palace can be counted.

Later, it was Nanyuan Xingwei, looking at Kangxi's appearance, he was already a little reluctant.

Cao Hao's heart was a little flustered, not because he felt any flesh and blood affection, but because he knew that the big tree of the Cao family was about to fall.

Kangxi will remember the old love of the Cao family, and there is the love of Lao Taijun, Cao Yin, and the Li family, which will have the glory of the Cao family for 60 years and three generations.

When the fourth elder brother ascends the throne, all these advantages are gone.

The fourth elder brother is also a person who misses his old love, but he reads it to the extreme, and his likes and dislikes change too much, which makes people feel unsure.

At this time, Sun Zaqi had already trembled and walked out of the ranks, talking about the repair of the three palaces of Changchun Garden, Xiaotang Mountain, and Summer Resort.

Kangxi listened, was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The household is full of money, and he doesn't dare to spend money on it, so it's all the fat of the small people." The matter of repair will be discussed later. ”

When it was Cao Hao's turn to come out of the ranks, it was more trivial.

The river work of this winter and next spring will require three million taels of silver; Eighteen counties in the three prefectures of Gansu and Shaanxi have lost their harvests due to severe drought, and hundreds of thousands of people need relief; The 25 counties in the seven prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River are flooded, and in addition to relief, it is also necessary to reduce or exempt taxes for the next year, and so on.

There are seven or eight places in total, and Cao Hao has already handed over this detailed excerpt this morning.

When Cao Hao played, Kangxi had already signaled Zhao Chang to find out the excerpt and return it to Cao Hao: "One river worker, quasi-playing, and the rest will be discussed." When he had said this, he motioned for the people to kneel.

Cao Hao followed the fourth elder brother and Sun Zhaqi, and before he could withdraw from the imperial tent, he heard Kangxi's suppressed cough.

Sun Zhaqi walked slowly and leisurely, as if he had not heard of it; The fourth elder brother frowned, hesitated, and still came out of the tent; Cao Hao's thoughts thought of Long Keduo again.

Nanyuan Xingwei, came the Eight Banners Guard, and Changchun Garden, there were also Eight Banners garrisoned. The capital and deputy capital of the Beijing Defense Eight Banners are all designated by Kangxi, and it is difficult to make any changes.

Nine Gate Admiral Yamen, blockade the capital?

Is there a big move?

Cao Hao hesitated in his heart, whether he should find a reason to sue for illness and avoid this cusp. Then he rejected this idea, and in this turbulent moment, far from the center, the news will be blocked, and everything must be passive. If there is a change, there is not even a buffer.

At this time, the fourth elder brother turned around and said a few words to Sun Zaqi and Cao Hao, and then went in a hurry.

Sun Zhaqi trembled, and he had to take the first step. Cao Hao had something to look for him, so he went with him and told him about the use of silver in the Imperial Court.

Needless to say, Sun Zaqi also knew that this silver was urgent. Then he said that the money was about to be prepared.

This has to do with the face of the imperial court, and there is still a hot Long Keduo standing in the Li Fan Academy, and it is Cao Hao who speaks, so Sun Zhaqi will not be boring.

It's just to let him be named, and he is very willing to sell this favor to Cao Hao.

It's just that the sea has been up and down for a long time, and it is not too cautious. When he returned to the tent, he deserved to be happy, but he did not immediately put up his pen and name, but touched his reading glasses and read them carefully before writing down his name.

Because of his age, Sun Zaqi was very afraid of the cold, and left two small servants in this tent to wait for the charcoal basin. The cotton mat at the door of the tent was also used in several layers, so that the slightest cold air could not enter.

However, because it had been snowing a few days ago, the charcoal was a little wet, which made the tent smell of carbon dioxide thick in a hurry.

As soon as Cao Hao entered the tent, he noticed that something was wrong.

He sniffed in with his nose, confessed again, walked to the charcoal basin and looked at it, confirmed that his guess was correct, and said, "My lord, wet charcoal produces gas, which is harmful to people." Let the adults change two pots of charcoal, and the gas in the house will dissipate and dissipate. ”

"Gas?" Sun Zhaqi put down his pen, touched his beard and said: "At first, I felt choked on my nose, and after two smokes, the old man has adapted a little, so don't get in the way." ”

Seeing that he didn't think so, Cao Hao said, "Do you feel dizzy, nauseous, palpitations, and weakness in the past two years?" ”

Sun Zaqi hesitated, nodded, and said, "That's true, it's just like this when you get up early, and then go out for a walk, and it's better." ”

"That's because of the wet charcoal, and it's a good thing for adults, the symptoms are mild, otherwise it's dangerously tight." It's not that Cao Hao exaggerated, the harm of gas poisoning should not be taken lightly.

He had a cousin who died with her husband on the night of their wedding trip, and the cause of death was gas poisoning.

After two years of colleagues, Sun Zaqi knew that Cao Hao was not a person of many words, and he gave such instructions for a few words, just for his own good.

He thought about it, and it was. If you stay in the tent for a long time, you will feel dizzy and stuffy; Go out to breathe, so that it is more comfortable, there is something wrong in this tent.

He poured thanks with sincerity on his face and sent Cao Hao out of the tent.

Han Shang Shutian recuperated from illness and was not good at bothering him with official business, so there was no need to make a special trip to find him to be named, which made Cao Hao save a lot of trouble.

Next, as long as you let the fourth elder brother see this fold, you can hand it to the emperor. Therefore, when he came out of Sun Zhaqi, Cao Hao went to the tent of the fourth elder brother.

The tent of the fourth elder brother is directly east of the royal driving camp, and several tents near it are all from the royal palace of the clan.

Cao Hao ran away for a while, because the fourth elder brother was not in the tent.

Although Cao Hao was curious about where the fourth elder brother went, he was not qualified to inquire about the appearance of a prince and prince. He had no choice but to say that he would see the fourth elder brother if he had something to do, and come back in the afternoon.

The fold in his hand will be handed to the emperor tomorrow morning, and before that, he must let the fourth elder brother look at it, so as not to be picked out by him.

Before he returned to the tent, he saw Xiao Manxun coming by himself.

"Didn't I say that? If there is nothing important, you should not leave the station easily. Cao Hao frowned.

As long as Kangxi is in the place, it is the center of fluctuations, and Cao Hao does not want to have the slightest hidden danger, so he has already told a few family members who he brought.

"It's the second master who is here, waiting for the master to go back in the tent. Unexpectedly, the son of the world also arrived. The little ones have no choice but to come out to find their masters. Xiao Man wiped the sweat from his head and said.

Cao Hao took out his watch and glanced at it, it was not yet noon.

Ge Keyan Pile wanted to see Hengsheng, but Cao Hao was full of reluctance, and arranged it once, that is, this afternoon. Unexpectedly, both of them were a little anxious.

Cao Hao quickened his pace, Xiao Man barely could keep up, but in Cao Hao's tent, the scene of father and son meeting seemed a little deserted.

Ge Keyan Pile looked at Heng Sheng's face greedily, and said in a dumb voice: "You are much taller and stronger than last year, and your face has grown...... Getting...... The more I think about it, the more I look like your grandma......"

Compared to his agitation, Hengsheng was much calmer.

For the man in front of him, who claims to be his father, Hengsheng is strange and wary.

In the past two days of returning home, Cao Hao had a cordial conversation with him, mentioning his future and future.

In Hengsheng's eyes, Caofu is the real home, not the so-called Khan's Mansion thousands of miles away.

After listening to the words of Ge Keyan Pile, Hengsheng's expression remained unchanged and he did not answer.

Seeing that he was silent, he was very reluctant to bear it, no matter how good Caofu was, living in a sojourn was only when Hengsheng was wronged, and finally couldn't help it, and said: "I'm going back to Khalkha in a few days, and it's not good to send people under the fence, you go back with me!" ”

This did violate the agreement he tacitly made with the Cao family last year, but he didn't feel guilty at all.

The adopted son of Cao Mansion and the companion of the emperor's grandson looks decent, but in fact he is vulnerable.

These words in the paddock, occasionally met, Ge Keyan Pile looked at Hengsheng like a little follower behind Hongli, and he was very unhappy.

Hengsheng raised his head and looked at Ge Keyan Pile with a clear expression.

My father is right, the person in front of him is really under the banner of "parent" to control his life.

Seeing that he did not speak, he was only moved, and said: "You are my son, the little master of the Khan's palace, and the people of Zasaktu will prostrate at your feet, it is a place with fertile water and grass, and the world is vast, and you will definitely like it." ”

When Hengsheng heard this, there was some doubt in his eyes.

According to his father, the "father" in front of him has another wife and two sons-in-law.

There is a difference, it is not obvious in Caofu, but it is very particular outside. There is no sister-in-law, the truth of the concubine inheriting the lord, children know this truth, why does this person deceive himself?

Hengsheng has heard and witnessed it over the years, and he is a little tired of being the "concubine" of the Mongolian prince.

Heng Sheng replied loudly, his tone was extremely firm. "I want to study in the capital......"
