Chapter 1011: Stop Sun (2)

Jiubeizi Mansion, living room.

The Ninth Prince was furious and threw the blue and white bowl in his hand to the ground: "It's too much to deceive people, is this to use Master as a raft?"

The Tenth Prince sat down, looked at the furious Ninth Prince, and frowned: "Brother Ninth Prince, it's a definite plan now, so it's better to avoid the edge."

The Ninth Prince laughed furiously: "Tenth Brother, can you avoid it? Look, since the death of Emperor Ama, I have been a turtle with a neck trunk for the past few months. What was the result? It was just a lesson for Sun Jue and he would catch his braid!"

The tenth prince hesitated for a moment and said, "After all, I didn't point to my ninth brother openly. The ninth brother should be calm... Today is no longer the same as before. The fourteenth brother and the fifteenth brother are the lessons of the past..."

After hearing this, the Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows and smiled a little: "I forgot this. The fourteenth brother is still guarding the spirits in Jingshan, and the fifteenth brother Changchun Garden is 'renovated', and these two are the sons that the queen mother values ​​the most..."

Seeing him smiling strangely, his eyelids twitched, and said, "Brother Ninth, can't you bear it?"

The Ninth Prince sighed and said with a little self-deprecating: "Tenth brother thinks he is a broad-minded person? I can tolerate it, but he may not be able to spare me. While his chair is not hot yet, I can still be more comfortable and let out a few sips of anger. I am afraid that it will be worse than the boss if it is my fate. Humph, I have enjoyed the welfare that I should enjoy in this life, but I am still afraid of it? He never dares to bear the reputation of "Tubordinary Tu". Even the Fourteenth brother is kept, what else can I be afraid of?"

The tenth prince listened and was worried.

He knew that the Ninth Prince's dissatisfaction with the new emperor was not one day or two.

The new emperor ascended the throne and was honored as the harem of the late emperor. Concubine Tong was honored as the imperial concubine of Huangkao, Concubine He was honored as the imperial concubine of Huangkao, and Concubine Ding and Concubine Wang were honored as the concubine. Concubine Yi, who was originally the first person in the harem, received no honor.

Among the four palace concubines of the former emperor, Concubine Hui was implicated by the eldest prince and was silent for many years; Concubine Rong was old and weak, and in recent years, she was still sick in her bed. Only Concubine Yi, but she did not have the name of Concubine, and had already done the work of Concubine.

With Concubine Yi's status in the harem, it is reasonable to honor him as Concubine Huangkao.

He was a little bit successful, but Yongzheng acted as he pleased, without taking into account the face of Concubine Yi.

"Brother Ninth, it's just a false reputation. What's the point of competing for this? I heard that the third brother and the fifth brother are going to submit a memorial to welcome several concubines out of the palace to support him. The gathering of flesh and blood is not better than the false reputation." The tenth prince saw that the ninth prince was angry and became more bizarre and extreme. He was very worried and persuaded him with great sincerity.

Although the Tenth Prince knew that he had good intentions, he had always been used to being forced, but he still didn't agree with it.

At this time, the housekeeper hurriedly reported: "Master, Yitai has sent someone to come, saying that it is the old prince, I'm afraid it won't work..."

When the Ninth Prince heard this, he showed a happier look on his face. He stood up and said to the Tenth Prince: "Tenth Brother, let's take a look!"

"Yitai?" The tenth prince only felt that the name was familiar: "The nephew of Prince Zhuang? The one who competed for the crown prince with Fu Cang?"

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "That boy is pretty eye-opening. I know that Master Lai hits the big bell! The Zhuang Prince's Mansion is so rich that I'm worried that I can't get in."

The Tenth Prince knows the Ninth Prince’s temperament and loves money the most.

It was a taboo to interfere in other royal palaces to establish successors, but the Ninth Prince had the position of Zuo Zongren in the clan mansion, and within the scope of his duties, there would be some convenience at that time...

Forbidden City, Temple of Peaceful Heart.

Cao Yong knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up.

It is really this emperor, familiar, but he is too famous in later generations.

And Cao Yong truly witnessed the existence of the sticky rod.

Even though he believed that he knew something about the Fourth Prince who had not ascended the throne, Cao Yong still did not dare to easily speculate about the Emperor Yongzheng who ascended the dragon throne.

Cao Yong is a human being, so he can guess the human beings' hearts. But after all, he is just a human being and has never been a monarch.

So far, what Yongzheng showed is inconsistent with his earlier personality.

If Cao Yong had not been concerned about the royal family for twenty years and had been a Beijing official for more than ten years and had some understanding of Yongzheng's past, he would have thought that Emperor Yongzheng was really too human.

Just like now, he held Cao Yong's note in his hand, and showed a bit of compassion on his face, saying, "Five years are too long. People's livelihood is so difficult. If you promote these two crops one day, you can save tens of thousands of people more!" Speaking of this, he looked at Cao Yong, raised his voice, and said, "You are too careful when I asked you to take responsibility. Could it be that you use these mature and persistent methods?"

"When I go back to the emperor, it is really related to people's livelihood. I dare not slack off. Although this corn is a cold-resistant and high-yield crop, the soil quality in different places is different. The actual harvest is not generally mentioned. The storage of sweet potatoes is also a problem. Although I do not serve farming, I dare not forget the four words "adapt to local conditions." Cao Yong lowered his head and replied: "The emperor promoted these two crops to the world to benefit the people. If the people are negligent, they will harm the people and will not be willing to die. However, they will be pitiful to the people and cannot bathe in the emperor's kindness."

After hearing Cao Yong's words, Yongzheng looked a little slow, and he didn't care about Cao Yong's slow nature: "I am not greedy for me, but I can think of the people everywhere. I can be called a good minister." At this point, he paused and said, "It's just that the national treasury is empty. It's just that the national treasury is empty. It can only be used to promote corn and sweet potatoes, but it can save the people in a place. When encountering natural disasters, the court needs relief. You have investigated the Jing Cang and served as a foreign official. You know a little about the local treasury. I want you to think of a way, either enrich the national treasury or fill the official treasury. When the people are in trouble, the court has the ability to help."

At the end, he leaned forward slightly, looking at Cao Yong's face with a little hope.

The Thirteenth Prince stood on one side, looking at his nose, looking at his nose, and asking his heart.

He knew in his heart that the emperor was forced to do nothing, so he placed his hope on Cao Yong.

If you are not in charge of your family, you don’t know how expensive the firewood and rice are. The Thirteenth Prince only realized how urgent the imperial finances were.

It can be said that the treasury not only did not deposit the silver, but also had a lot of foreign debts from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which were all spent on the funeral of the emperor of the Great Bank.

Cao Yong was shocked when he heard Yongzheng's words.

The official warehouses in this place are not as good as Jing Warehouse. Jing Warehouse is responsible for the Eight Banners and the royal family’s officials’ salary. Even if someone is brave enough to make trouble, he will only exchange grain for new rice, less weight, and he does not dare to be too presumptuous.

In the local official warehouse, there is the fat meat that fell into the doghouse, where is there any left?

If I really touch the local granary and draw out the radish and bring out the mud, I will become Yongzheng's gun.

Therefore, Cao Yong expressed his difficulties very "difficult" and was really not familiar with the local granary. When he was released from abroad, he was still a young man. The so-called release from abroad was just a false reputation.

Yongzheng thought about it and found that Cao Yong had been in Shandong for a year and did not have any political achievements. At that time, there was a village next to Cao Yong, a village with a close connection with the ancestor.

"Since that is the case, the affairs of the official warehouse will be put aside. In addition to farming, you should also take the matter of enriching the national treasury to heart. This is also your responsibility. If there is any difficulty, you can go and find your Thirteenth Master!" Yongzheng thought of the care of the late emperor for Cao Yong, and thought that this was his nephew, and his tone was much gentler.

Cao Yong responded, but he was still very reserved. Seeing this, Yongzheng waved his hand and told him to kneel down.

When Cao Yong went down, Yongzheng said to the Thirteenth Prince with some complaints: "Is it so horrible? Even in the past, I have never said so kindly. Cao Yong was still close to me in the past, but now he is so unfamiliar."

He was really disappointed. He had few disciples and now he was the first to become a great treasure. It was the time to use people. Cao Yong was the one he wanted to use. However, Cao Yong's indecisive nature made him dislike him.

He is a decisive and likes a minister with a cheerful personality.

The Thirteenth Prince sighed in his heart, but smiled and said, "The emperor's majesty is not something a subject can take responsibility? Even though Cao Yong was close to the emperor, he had to defend the word "awe". This is the duty of a subject."

After hearing what the Thirteenth Prince said, Yongzheng straightened his waist and looked a little unpredictable, but his eyes showed a look of remembrance: "Time flies. When I first met Cao Yong, he was still a child, and now he has grown into a pillar of the Qing Dynasty. Thirteenth brother, do you still remember us going to Jiangnan?"

The Thirteenth Prince smiled and said, "Why don't you remember? He also impeached the magistrate of Hangzhou, removed his top clothes, and eliminated the harm for the people..."

Office of the Interior, this hall.

Cao Yong was slightly stunned: "So quickly?"

The sixteenth prince held a book of accounts in his hand, shook his head, and said, "It's not so fast, haven't I told you that the emperor had transferred the book of accounts of the three weaving houses in Jiangnan as early as the New Year."

"How much can this charge be soaked in tribute?" Cao Yong asked.

He was a little surprised. He originally thought that with Yongzheng's nature, even if he wanted to replace the three major weaving companies in Jiangnan, he would either take the Li family in Suzhou first or dismiss the Lu family in Jiangning first.

After all, the Sun family has always shown their duty, and the Li family is the most arrogant and the Lu family who succeeded the Cao family, has the least qualifications. Unexpectedly, Yongzheng first investigated the Sun family.

"The crime depends on whether Sun Wencheng has any other handles falling into the eyes of the emperor. Perhaps it was because the Sun family was unlucky. Jiangning Weaving and Suzhou Weaving will pay tribute every March and September, Hangzhou weaving will pay tribute in four or four October. The tribute from Hangzhou last year was also simple silk, which happened to be used for the funeral of the Emperor Daxing. In addition, Sun Jue's kid made such a fuss, which reminded the emperor of this matter." said the Sixteenth Prince.

Cao Yong remembered the fact that he had just met the king in Yangxin Palace. Yongzheng was troubled by his lack of money, so the "home search emperor" should have begun to carry out the "home search".

"If Sun Wencheng is dismissed from office, Li Xu is afraid that it will not be far away. Say hello to the Empress, so that you can scare the Empress at that time." Cao Yong said.

Although the sixteenth prince was not close to the Li family, his mother, Concubine Se, was Li Xu's cousin and came to the imperial court from the Li family.

Speaking of mother, the sixteenth prince was immediately discouraged and said, "Furuo, when did the emperor think of calling me to open the mansion? I was about to be in my thirties and was still a prince living in the palace. Recently, several older brothers wanted to take away the concubines and mothers from the palace. When will I survive until the mansion?"

Speaking of this, his eyes lit up: "I know that opening the government will cost money. Now, no matter whether it is the internal treasury or the national treasury, there is no money. Furuo, the freedom I want will fall on you. You have to help me think of ways to earn some money earlier so that I can open the government earlier! The Cining Palace is so big, and the emperor has many concubines. I don't want my mother to be wronged!"

Speaking of this, Cao Yong always felt that he had neglected something.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the sixteenth prince glanced at him and said, "I'm so lucky that I believe in you. I also hope to be able to get the master of the dragon and get the prince's hat. But let alone the prince, I didn't even get the baby."

He said this, but he never blamed Cao Yong in his heart.

The new emperor was indeed generous, the Seventh Prince Jin Prince, the Twelve Prince Jin Prince, and the Thirteenth Prince, the most hard-core "Fourth Prince Party" were directly appointed as the prince.

And he had a brother who offended the new emperor. Not to mention the title, he was already grateful that he would not involve him. When Concubine Wang was honored as a concubine, he would only be grateful to the new emperor.

When Cao Yong heard the word "Prince", he finally remembered what he had neglected.

"I heard that Prince Zhuang is sick, does the Sixteenth Master know the details?" Cao Yong asked.

"It's just that I'm old. I was tired when I was in the funeral of the country before the New Year. Now I'm raising it..." The Sixteenth Prince replied dismissively: "After all, I'm the only remaining elder in the royal family. The emperor attaches great importance to it, so I have taken the imperial physician to several times. I've been there before, but I'm much better. According to the imperial physician's opinion, when the weather is warm, the illness should be almost cured. His two nephews were so terrible that when I went there last time, I happened to catch the old concubine staring at her eyes and chasing people..."

Before he finished speaking, someone heard someone sing, "Master Sixteenth, is there?"

The sixteenth prince stopped the words, raised his head and said, "Who?"

The eunuch in in a hurry was Chen Fu, the eunuch in front of the imperial court: "Sixteenth Master, I am here to pass the emperor's oral order!"

The Sixteenth Prince and Cao Yong both stood up and heard Chen Fu say, "The emperor has ordered the Sixteenth Prince to meet the palace immediately!"

The sixteenth prince accepted the order and then asked: "General Manager Chen, why did the emperor summon me? I was so in a hurry? I only handed over the sign in the morning."

Chen Fu thought he was walking in a hurry, and he was sweating on his forehead. He sighed and said, "Prince Jian just handed over the sign to see him. Prince Zhuang has passed away. Please ask the Sixteenth Master to mourn me!"

"Ah?" The sixteenth prince spoke in surprise.

Cao Yong was beside him, but he was secretly happy.

The Sixteenth Prince Chengsi is at this time!

The sixteenth prince was full of questions and did not delay much. He explained to Cao Yong and followed Chen Fu to see him.

Cao Yong thought about the previous words of the Sixteenth Prince, that Prince Zhuang's illness was almost cured, and now he died suddenly. I don't know whether it has anything to do with his two nephews.

If there is any connection, the emperor's successor will be over.

When Cao Yong arrived to return from the yamen, the mansion had already received the death report.

Cao Yong and Chu Yu must change into plain clothes and go to Prince Zhuang’s house to attend the funeral together.

As the highest elder in the royal family, Prince Zhuang died, there were endless people attending the funeral. The sixteenth prince, who was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was ordered by the emperor to handle the funeral ceremony.

Cao Yong and Chu Yu did not stay for long. After meeting the old concubine and the sixteenth prince, they returned home.

After fifteen years, the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen was almost cleaned up, and Chen Shouchuang finally remembered to hand over Sun Jue to the infantry chief yamen.

Sun Jue’s case is not complicated, and it is caused by being deceived after all.

If you look closely, he has no major guilt. Although he lives with his wife and children, his house and land are all the property of the Sun family. In addition, there are several noble relatives in the capital, so he has never taken risks for hundreds of taels of silver.

Therefore, after he was handed over to the Infantry General Office, he was "bailed" by the Sun family.

This time, after receiving Cao Yong's letter, Sun Wencheng still asked his brother Sun Wenqian to enter Beijing. In addition to watching Sun Jue prevent him from causing trouble, it was to arrange for the Sun family and Sun's imperial examination.

But he was one step late and went directly to pick up Sun Jue from the yamen.
